I made the following transcript from a tape recording

WBAI-FM (99.5)

-- the big balloons with radar and other sensors that were doing
the aerial surveillance for drug smugglers flying in, to try to
avoid radar. A very major project! Two-thirds of the companies
that were vendors supporting that project were wholly owned by
Earl W. Brian. The contracting officer handling all of those
companies was Peter Videnieks, out of the BUREAU OF CUSTOMS!
And this was a very large procurement. And Videnieks's job, as
contracting officer, was to deal with industry. And he was the
point of contact for the vendors in industry to deal with the
Government agency. It was his job to communicate and fraternize
with the companies that the Government was involved with. That's
a normal part of his job description.
Now for him to say, in affidavits, denying that he's ever heard of
Wackenhut, that he's ever heard of Earl Brian, and Earl Brian's
denying that he's ever heard of Peter Videnieks is preposterous!
IAN MASTERS:
Well, you've personally had to work with both of them.
MICHAEL RICONOSCIUTO:
You see, but what I'm trying to do is establish, on an undisputed
basis, collateral from me, or totally independent from me, the
fact that these guys do not have a basis to deny knowing each
other, or to deny knowing anything about Wackenhut.
Here the Chief Operations Officer from Wackenhut takes a leave of
absence to go be Commissioner of Customs. And while Commissioner
of Customs, he had routine contact -- he might as well still have
been at his post at Wackenhut. Internal memoranda suport that. OK?
Yet the guy who was Videnieks's boss, and wearing two hats, while
running a Government agency -- which is not proper to begin with --
But for Videnieks to deny he's ever heard of Wackenhut is a bunch
of baloney.
Wackenhut has a working relationship with the Customs Bureau that
is second to none for a corporate entity to have with a Government
agency. These guys are not talking reality. They're hiding behind
a so-called wall of plausible deniability which, if you examine
the facts, it is shown to be just that.
Now, we get back to the Reservation, and we get back to this
three-ring circus conducted by Dr. John Philip Nichols and covert
operators, and arms dealers, and drug dealers, of every stripe
and color coming to meetings over a four-year period on this
Reservation. That's what you had. PROMIS was just one of many acts
in this three-ring circus. And the players were involved, not just
in PROMIS, but in all the rest of it.
So, the Hamiltons, and the scenario of them getting ripped off
while in a formal contractual relationship with a Government
agency, is only one of many stories. And I can pinpoint over a
hundred companies that received the same kind of treatment, and
were defrauded in the same way as Inslaw. And I've gotten over
fifty of them together, and we're all networking, trying to bring
this thing out into the light of day.
IAN MASTERS:
What about the idea that somehow the theft of PROMIS was a reward
to Dr. Earl Brian for brokering the Iran hostage deal?
MICHAEL RICONOSCIUTO:
The ability to run with PROMIS from the inside, on a procurement
track, was part of a benefit reward package to the Cabazon position
for what they did in helping the Election Committee. Part of that
was the artillery shells. Part of that was security contracts for
Wackenhut. Wackenhut has security jobs that traditionally the
United States Marine Corps did. OK? Now, it's done on open bid to
private companies, and Wackenhut consistently has gotten most of
those jobs. And all our atomic weapons research and test sites are
all guarded by Wackenhut personnel. In the Reagan Administration,
the shift went abruptly from Marine Corps and military personnel
to Wackenhut personnel. It was an UNPRECEDENTED move. And it's my
position that this was part of the reward benefit package for
cooperation and services rendered during the election situation.
ANDREW PHILLIPS:
We think this is one hell of a story. Just let me read briefly
from the VILLAGE VOICE of this week [Sept. 18, 1991]:
"Unlike the murky October Surprise scandal with the compromised
Congressional investigations into Iran/Contra, the facts in the
Inslaw case are quite clear. Emerging from a low-level bankruptcy
court, they paint a virtually indisputable case of corporate theft."
This is James Ridgeway writing in this week's VILLAGE VOICE,
"an indisputable case of corporate theft, political corruption,
and the very real possibility of international espionage. The
issue goes straight to the White House and it involves officials
at the highest levels of the Justice Department in what appears
to be a deliberate campaign of intimidation, theft and corruption.
By now, that ought to have led to a serious Congressional
investigation. Unlike Iran/Contra, no one in this case has pleaded
national security as a defense, though that is likely before it
is over. In a sense, it is already too late for that. The facts
are too well defined. If the opinions of two judges are correct,
this case ought to result in criminal indictments of past and
present Justice officials."
(212) 279-3400: That's the number here at WBAI.

This is one of countless stories unveiling the deeply corrupted
and subverted state of our theoretically democratic Government.
This story makes disgustingly obvious the fact that patriotism
is not the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the
supporting of the Government, just because it happens to be ours.
You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it.
Patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country
in order that they may unite to conquer the anti-democratic
cancer that is gradually destroying ours and our children's
freedom. So please post the installments of this ongoing series
to other bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places,
both on and off campus. That would be a truly patriotic deed.
