An Old Soldier Who Won't Fade Away, General Singlaub Rips Carter's Foreign Policy

Until May 1977, Maj. Gen. John K. Singlaub was the third highest U.S. officer in South Korea. Outside the Pentagon, his name was all but unknown. Then, unexpectedly, the general broke ranks in an interview he assumed was off the record, denouncing President Carter's plan to withdraw more than 30,000 troops from Korea. Called on the White House carpet for his indiscretion, he was reassigned to Fort McPherson, Ga. Less than a year later the blunt-spoken Singlaub was back in the headlines, this time for criticizing Administration policy on national security matters during a question-and-answer session with ROTC cadets at Georgia Tech. After that, says Singlaub, "The only honorable thing to do was request voluntary retirement." No longer bound by the military code of silent obedience, the hard-lining Singlaub, 56, plans to write extensively about na tional security and recently denounced the Administration for a "dangerous level of amateurism and naiveté" in foreign affairs. He discussed his objections to U.S. policy with PEOPLE correspondent Frank W. Martin.

Do you believe it would be morally wrong for the U.S. to withdraw its troops from South Korea?

If we plan to return to Korea in the event of an attack from the North, it would not be immoral. But if we do the same thing we did in South Vietnam—withdraw and then not provide the needed assistance—it will be immoral. Anyhow, the whole idea of a withdrawal is imprudent. It lacks logic.

Why?

U.S. ground forces are the main factor in preventing a war on the Korean peninsula. They provide the manpower and logistical support needed to block 2,000 Communist tanks from advancing to Seoul, the South Korean capital, which is just 25 miles south of the demilitarized zone.

Do North Korean forces pose a serious threat to Seoul now?

Just imagine enemy artillery constantly aimed at a comparable U.S. city—say New York. The North Koreans run almost daily fighter flights on attack routes, and then at the last minute pull the planes away from Seoul. It is a three-minute flight from the north to the capital, and unimpeded ground forces could reach the city and threaten 7.6 million people within two hours.

Wouldn't the two Communist superpowers be likely to discourage such an attack?

Neither China nor the Soviet Union wants a direct military confrontation with the U.S. over Korea. They will not support a military operation by the North at this time. But the minute we withdraw, there is no U.S. deterrent. Less chance of confrontation might increase the chance of war.

Two U.S. officers were killed by the North Koreans in 1976 while on a tree-trimming mission in the demilitarized zone. Was peace seriously endangered then?

That was the closest I've ever been to war without it being declared. We were prepared for war if that's what the North Koreans wanted. All of our positions were reinforced. We brought in air squadrons from the Philippines, Okinawa and Hawaii. We brought F-111 fighter bombers in from Idaho. Antitank and antiaircraft missiles were ordered forward. Part of the Seventh Fleet was on its way. The North Koreans had their weapons forward and their positions reinforced. Either they were massing for an assault or wanted to provoke an incident that could be used politically at a meeting of the nonaligned nations that was taking place in Sri Lanka.

Why is South Korea important to the security of the U.S.?

Like it or not, we do a tremendous amount of business with the Pacific Basin. A Communist government in Seoul would have ramifications for all our other allies in the Pacific—primarily Japan. But South Korea is also important from a psychological standpoint. It is the product of the U.S. capitalistic system. Where there once was poverty, there now is a stable, flourishing government and people. We and the democratic countries should point with pride to Korea. If ever there was a phoenix, Korea is it.

But isn't the present South Korean regime a dictatorial one?

That simply isn't true. There is a great deal of freedom in Korea. Of course, they do live in a state of suspended hostilities. But the restrictions that South Korean citizens face can't compare to what the U.S. did to Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor.

Do you think President Carter was justified in removing you from command in Korea?

He certainly had the authority to do it. I told him how my criticism was mistakenly made public and that I was capable of carrying out the responsibilities of my assignment despite my personal feelings. However, a senior officer serves at the pleasure of the President. Obviously I did not give him much pleasure.

Do military men have any special problems in dealing with the press?

In most cases, senior officers work with highly classified assignments and are shielded from the press. It is very difficult for them to know the rules of the interview game and to sort out what can be said from what can't.

Why do you consider the Carter administration's foreign policy "amateurish"?

For one thing, it has been very inconsistent. It is incredible that there can be talk about recognizing Cuba when every informed citizen knows how much chaos the Cubans are creating in Africa. Why do we cancel weapons like the B-1 bomber without getting concessions from the other side in the SALT discussions and other arms-limitation negotiations? On the neutron bomb, the President says we are going to produce it, then the next minute changes his mind. To our friends and our potential enemies it must appear that we are leaderless. And many of these decisions have been made without consulting the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Why did you oppose the recently approved Panama Canal treaties?

First, I think the Panamanian leader is a despot, a dictator. We've catered our policy to the whimsy of the man. There are many countries that depend on the canal for their economic well-being, but we gave up the responsibility for it to the least qualified country in the hemisphere.

Why do you object to the President's decision to postpone deployment of the neutron bomb?

The weapon was designed to solve the military weakness of NATO. The Warsaw Pact nations have such an advantage in tanks and other weapons that if I were General Haig, I would sure want the neutron bomb. In a way, there are parallels between Korea and Western Europe. The enemy is well armed, and the immediate consequences of attack would be great.

Do you think the Administration is underestimating the Soviet Union?

Yes. The Soviets have surpassed us militarily and will continue to threaten us. Furthermore, they are disarming us at SALT. Every proposal weakens the U.S. and strengthens the Soviets. This is of particular danger to NATO. The Soviets might soon be able to do anything they want just by threat. It's kind of like this: Where does an 800-pound gorilla sit? Anywhere he wants.

How well is our volunteer Army performing?

The overall quality of the soldier is as good as can be expected considering the declining reading and writing skills of Americans. But in another way, it's a disaster. We have to have a total army with adequate numbers of National Guard and Army Reserves. The absence of the draft has eliminated the incentive to join the Reserves and has reduced our manpower pool to a dangerous level. The volunteer Army isn't working, and some form of selective service should be restored.

What role do you think women should play in the armed forces?

Many jobs can be done better by women, but I'm absolutely opposed to women in combat. The Soviets and Israelis look at it the same way. There is no clear evidence to show they can stand the stress of combat. Physically, they are weaker than men, and therefore manpower would have to be diverted to do the things women can't. The weakness would be perceived by our enemies as a lack of national resolve and increase our vulnerability.

(...)  The State Department is charged with formulating U.S. foreign
policy, including policy on foreign military sales. Policy guidance
regarding arms transfers to specific countries or regions varies as to
specificity and clarity.

The State Department tends to view arms transfers almost exclu-
sively in a political contact. When a country indicates that it wants
to purchase a weapons system, State's primary concern is usually the
impact that the U.S. response — favorable or unfavorable — will have
on U.S. relations with that country and its immediate neighbors.  (...)

Aside from the Secretary of State, authority in the State Depart-
ment for approving arms sales is dispersed. Nominal authority is dele-
gated to the Under Secretary for Security Assistance (U/SA) for
government -to-government sales and to the Bureau of Political-Mili-
tary Affairs, Office of Munitions Control (PM), for issuing licenses
for commercial sales. Because arms sales are viewed primarily in a
foreign policy context, those charged with overall policy responsibility
toward specific countries or regions, the regional bureaus, also play
a major role.  (...)

U/SA and PM are more likely to examine the military implications
of proposed transfers ; they also have more direct contact with those
offices in the DOD with similar responsibility for arms transfers,
namely, the Defense Security Assistance Agency, and within the office
of International Security Affairs, the regional and desk officers, Policy-
Plans, and Strategic Trade and Disclosure. The U/SA relies primarily
on the Security Assistance and Sales Office in PM for staff advice on
government-to-government sales, and the Office of Munitions Control
for advice on commercial licenses.  (...)

http://trogholm.panshin.net/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OSSInChina

The OSS in China

As described by Henrik Kruger in The Great Heroin Coup - Drugs, Intelligence, & International Fascism, "The place was Kunming in the South China province of Yunnan. The time was the end of World War II. Amid the chaos of war, opium and gold became the primary media of exchange, and cult-like bonds were forged among a small staff of Americans and high-ranking Chinese. Yunnan was a center of Chinese opium cultivation and Kunming was the hotbed of military operations, among them Claire Chennault's 14th Air Force and Detachment 202 of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)."

The Iran-Contra Connection: Secret Teams and Covert Operations in the Reagan Era also describes Kunming as "the very center of the World War II KMT drug traffic" and notes that "according to the Wall Street Journal, OSS payments at this base were frequently made with five-pound shipments of opium." (The KMT was Chiang Kai-shek's party, the Kuomintang, which ruled China until the communist takeover in 1949.)

Many of the members of Detachment 202 later joined the CIA, with Ray Cline and John K Singlaub having the most public careers. Several others were involved in the shadier side of things, often involving operations that replicated the Kunming pattern of arms supplies funded by illicit drugs.

Paul Helliwell set up the CIA proprietaries Air America and Sea Supply to support the KMT on Taiwan and used them to carry on an arms-for-drugs trade involving KMT troops that had taken refuge in Burma. In 1960, he was transformed to the Cuban operations out of Miami, where he worked with drug-dealing Cuban exiles and founded offshore money-laundering banks that were also used by organized crime.

E Howard Hunt had an extended CIA career and was at times associated with Lucien Conein, who had not been a member of Detachment 202 but had met Hunt while he was stationed in Kunming. Conein was the CIA's top expert on Southeast Asia and was allegedly involved in the assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963. He is also said to have served as the CIA's liaison to the Corsican Mafia, who were deeply involved in the Saigon drug trade and were buying off the Vietnamese government. Hunt and Conein worked together in the Nixon White House, along with another Kunming veteran, Mitch WerBell, who never officially joined the CIA.

WerBell was confident there would not be. He proceeded to sign up Soldier of Fortune-supreme Robert K. Brown to recruit a dozen Vietnam vets as the nucleus of an Abacoan standing army strong enough to dissuade Bahamian Premier Lyndon Pindling from invading with his own puny armed services. The date for seccession was set for New Year's Day 1975.  (...)

THE WITNESS: Okay. At that time, we were asking for financial assistance, you know, from anybody and everybody. We needed it. We talked to Rob and he told us that there was going to be a meeting in Denver, colorado, and airplane tickets would be taken by Bob K. Brown ; Bob K. Brown got myself and Sam Hall round trip tickets to Denver, Colorado. We also met General Singlaub there. That was the first time I got to meet him.

Q. We will talk about him in a moment.

Q. You mentioned that you have had some dealingsnwith General Singlaub. Why don't you tell us about that ?

A. First time I met General Singlaub was in Denver, at a meeting. There was sam, myself, general Singlaub, Bob K. Brown and Tom Reisner at the meeting in a hotel there close to the Denver airport. I don't remember the name. General Singlaub was wanting to know what we was wanting the meeting for. I was up front with him that we needed financial assistance and we could do better if we got a little help, plain and simple. He wanted to know how much we needed a month. I said, right now, we can get by with 1200 USD a month. We can double, triple our supplies. We lost a lot of supplies because we couldn't get out there and get it. He didn't say yes, didn't say no. he grunted most of the time. But at the same time he was wanting information from us. We felt, by this time, I did, at least, that the only thing we were being used for, mostly, was information. because we had a lot of friends in the FDN, we get to see a lot, get free movement and everything.

Q. At this time was he held of the World Anticommunist League ?

A. Yes, sir.

John K. Singlaub et Oliver North étaient donc très liés aux mercenaires, qu'ils viennent de SOF ou d'ailleurs (SOF a publié un article sur Charles Masy et son bar bruxellois ; Masy était un grand ami de Guillaume Vogeleer ... comme Jim Coyne). Jean Bultot était lui aussi proche de ces milieux.

Via Guillaume Vogeleer, "Bruno" Farcy et d'autres, il y avait des liens avec la pègre belge ... mais aussi avec le commandant François de la gendarmerie (mis en place par Vanden Boeynants et Beaurir) et avec le chauffeur de Vanden Boeynants.

(...)

THE WACKENHUT CORPORATION AND THE AMERICAN SECURITY COUNCIL

(...)

Wackenhut ensured that the Corporation’s board were ideological compatible with himself, selecting members from the John Birch Society and the American Security Council (ASC). According to Edward Herman the ASC came into existence as an anti-labour intelligence and propaganda agency, acquiring the files of the anti-semite/anti-labour spymaster, Harry Jung (the first major US distributor of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion). It gradually extended its activities to serve the military industrial lobby as its anti-subversive focus broadened to include an ‘international red menace’, against which it urgently demanded accelerated weapons acquisitions and terrorism. (2)

(...)

The ASC is broadly dominated by right-wing members of government, defence intellectuals and rightist retirees of the military and intelligence establishments. In the 1980s these included James J. Angleton (probably the most powerful person in the CIA in the 1950s and 60s), General J. Singlaub (a once ubiquitous figure from the world of the neo-nazi fringe, a leading light of the World Anti-Communist League and named as the chief fund-raising contact to the contra army in Central America), Dan Graham (US Army retired, head of the Defence Intelligence Administration in 1974 and described as the senior zealous anti-communist in intelligence) and Senator Robert Dole (not exactly renowned for his liberalism).

http://rightweb.irc-online.org/articles/display/Western_Goals_Foundation

(...)  The Western Goals Foundation was a private domestic intelligence agency which was founded by former Congressman Larry McDonald in 1979  (...)

The following is a brief summary of John Singlaub's military and intelligence activities. Singlaub was an officer in the Office of Strategic Services during World War II. He became CIA deputy chief in South Korea during the Korean War and served for two years in Vietnam during the 1960s. At that time, he was commander of the Joint Unconventional Warfare Task Force, known as MACSOG. In that role, he was one of the commanders of Operation Phoenix, although he denies having had a part in that program's infamous assassination and counterterror aspects. In 1978, as chief of staff of the United Nations Command in South Korea, he publicly condemned the decision of President Jimmy Carter to reduce the number of U.S. troops in the country. He was then forced to retire. (8,9,10) In 1984, Singlaub headed a Pentagon panel called to make recommendations on conducting military activities in Central America. The panel's report urged the U.S. to emphasize nonconventional, counterinsurgency warfare strategies. (9,10) Under the Reagan administration, Singlaub received assistance and guidance from White House and National Security Council (NSC) officials for his "private" contra-supply activities. He identified former NSC aide Oliver North as his liaison to the White House. (10,18)

Private Connections: The German affiliate is Western Goals Europe E. V. (5) This German branch is also known as the AmericanEuropean Strategy Institute. It acknowledges working with Reinhard Gehlen, a former Nazi who has been honored by the elite lay Catholic organization, the Knights of Malta (SMOM).  SMOM gave its highest award of honor, the Gran Croci Al Merito Conplacca, to Gehlen in l948. Gehlen, who was not a Catholic, was awarded the honor because of his efforts in the "crusade against godless Communism." Gehlen headed Adolf Hitler's spy operations against the Soviet Union during World War II. After the war, he and his spy apparatus--staffed mostly by former Nazis--were recruited by the CIA. He became the first director of the BND, West Germany's intelligence agency. (19,26)

According to investigative reporter Elton Manzione, J. Peter Grace was instrumental in getting John Rees into Western Goals. Grace is chairman of the Knights of Malta in the United States. (19) Grace, head of the W. R. Grace Co. , has (or had) Western Goals funder Roger Milliken on his board of directors.

A diagram found in Oliver North's safe showed Linda Guell's name written above the words "Western Goals." The note on the diagram said that Guell worked with CAUSA (a political arm of the Unification Church) and its head, Bo Hi Pak, and made trips to Germany and South Korea. The word "money" was written over Guell's name, with an arrow pointing to Rob Owen, North's courier to the contras. Arrows were also drawn from Owen's name to Guell's and from Andy Messing--a private contra supporter and head of the National Defense Council Foundation--to Western Goals. The diagram was drawn at the bottom of a letter from Fawn Hall to "Phil [Mabry] and Randy," dated April 18, 1985. (4,20) Guell is now working with John Singlaub at the Singlaub Freedom Foundation. (29)

Larry McDonald, John Rees, and Sherman Unkefer were members of the John Birch Society.  Besides supplying intelligence to government agencies, John Rees provided information to the Wackenhut Agency, a private security company.  John Rees also worked with the Church League of America, another private intelligence collection group. (25)

(...)

Lt. Gen. Graham (see Govt Connections) is director of the defense lobby High Frontier. (9,14) He is also a member of the World Anti-Communist League--an organization which until recently was headed by John Singlaub. Graham is a former member of the advisory board of CAUSA USA, the political arm of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. (9,10,12,13)

(...)

John Singlaub, Daniel Graham, and Mildred Jefferson, are members of the national policy board of the American Freedom Coalition, a political organization with extensive ties to the Unification Church. (14,15,16,17) Singlaub, Graham, and Jefferson are/were members of the board of governors of the Council for National Policy (CNP), a secretive policy-oriented umbrella organization for the rightwing in the United States.

Los Angeles police detective Jay Paul, under investigation for stashing masses of police political intelligence files in his home and garage, helped establish a massive computerized data bank on political leftists, managed by Western Goals, a Virginia-based right wing organization headed by Rep. Larry McDonald, D-Ga. Members of Western Goals' board include Gen. John Singlaub, an associate of Mitchell WerBell III, and former commander of US troops in South Korea until Pres. Carter fired him; Adm. Thomas Moorer, former chairman of the Jt. Chiefs of Staff; and Edward Teller, "father of the H-bomb." (LAT 5-24-83; cf.PP/USA/1. )

WerBell,  when  Singlaub  visited  him  in  1978,  was  employed  as  the "personal security adviser" to Lyndon H. LaRouche, then the leader of the so-called National Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC), a group which previously  had  posed  as  left-wing  but  in  fact  harassed  anti-nuclear  and other  left-wing  demonstrations  with  the  help  of  the  right-wing  domestic intelligence group known since 1979 as Western Goals (backed primarily by WACL donor and Texan millionaire Nelson Bunker Hunt). Singlaub and another leader of his U.S. WACL chapter (Anthony Kubek) joined the advisory board of Western Goals.(...)

Though Singlaub left Western Goals in 1984, the organization is controlled today by Carl Spitz Channell, who in 1986 met with Oliver North "five or ten times" about his TV advertising campaigns against political candidates opposed to contra aid. (...)

UN NOUVEAU PRESIDENT POUR LA WACL

(...) Singlaub, enfin, dirige une « boîte à penser » euro-américaine, Western Goals (buts occidentaux). Fondée par l'ancien congressiste Larry McDonald, leader de la John Birch Society, un groupe d'extrême-droite très actif aux Etats-Unis et prématurément décédé dans l'attentat soviétique contre l'avion sud-coréen, Western Goals est représenté en Europe par le Dr. Karol Sitko, ami personnel et conseiller de Franz-Joseph Strauss, le « taureau de Bavière ».

Karol Sitko

In 1981, William Herbert and Nelson Bunker Hunt provided the start-up money for the Council for National Policy.

A subsidiary of the pro-Nazi German American National Congress [DANK], the council is headed by Karol Sitko...Sitko was also the organizer for the West German branch of the Western Goals Foundation, a far-right political organizing and research group which, until the death of its founder, Congressman Larry MacDonald, was essentially a front for the John Birch Society's private intelligence network. In Germany, Sitko organized rallies in Nuremberg and Hanover drawing 240,000 people. He was supported by billionaire H.L. Hunt and General John Singlaub. His activities were conducted in concert with the Anti-Bolshevik Block of Nations.

Renamed Conservative Alliance (CALL), this group was organized by the late Terry Dolan's National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC is Laos in the Coalition for Peace Through Strength). CALL has received major funding through groups affiliated with Rev. Sun Myung Moon, according to the Wall Street Journal and other reports. CALL started the National Coalition for America's Survival, which includes the newly-reincarnated America First Committee...One of the three groups in the Coalition headed by Lady Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton, who is also on the board of the American Security Council Foundation. Her deceased husband, part of the British aristocracy, was the brother of Rudolph Hess when, in 1940, Hess made his secret flight to England. Hess, a top aide to Hitler and Nazi Party official, sought to meet with the British aristocratic circles known as the Cliveden Set. Sympathetic to Hitler's war aims, the Cliveden Set tried to get England out of the war it had declared against Germany in September 1939, after Germany invaded Poland. Hess was arrested and imprisoned. After Lord Douglas came to the U.S., he established an American branch of a racial eugenics group headquartered in Scotland. The oil billionaire Hunt brothers and Jesse Helms are members of this group. It was headed by Robert Gayre, who published the racialist Mankind Quarterly until Roger Pearson took it over in 1978.

Il est intéressant de se plonger dans la lecture de "Damoclès", notamment en ce qui concerne le général belge Robert Close (proche de Singlaub et président de l'IEPS), par exemple :
