Il est intéressant de noter que le livre de Roberty K. Brown a été écrit avec ...

...  his close friend and lawyer, Vann Spencer. Now let me get a couple of things off my chest immediately – Brown has an enormous ego, appears to have a very short temper, and feels he hasn’t had enough official recognition for what he and his publication have ‘achieved’ for the U.S. Government over the years. Also, the co – author Spencer has been part of Brown’s inner circle for years, after becoming acquainted with him by virtue of living around the corner from his ‘Brown Hotel’ Mercenary flop house. ‘Acolyte’ is probably too harsh a word to describe him, but its not far off.

I AM SOLDIER OF FORTUNE: DANCING WITH DEVILS

By Lt. Col. Robert Brown, USAR (Ret.)

With Vann Spencer Casemate, $29.95, 408 pages

Robert K. Brown's first-person tour through war zones, revolutions, doomed adventures and the rise of Soldier of Fortune magazine has the punch of a Hollywood action thriller. There are heroes, villains, blazing guns, intrigue, humor, swagger and violent death. Unlike an action movie, it's real. From Cuba to Vietnam, Rhodesia to Latin America and Afghanistan, Bob Brown redefined participative journalism while creating a forum for the global warrior culture.

Each issue of Soldier of Fortune — circulation 1 million plus — is iconic to readers of a special stripe: veterans, active duty, special operators, mercenaries, gun lovers, law enforcement, adventurers, survivalists and those wish they were any of those. It's not unusual for a combat veteran to admit he got his first glimpse of what he could become in the pages of SOF.

Soldier of Fortune launched in 1975 as a way for Mr. Brown, a Green Beret in Vietnam, to reach out to brothers in arms. SOF became a global touchstone linking a broad community of warriors willing to go anywhere and do anything — for adventure, for a cause or for a price. Along the way, Mr. Brown and his rugged band of paramilitary journalists wrote, photographed and shot their way through a score of revolutions and brush fire wars, were damned and praised by governments around the world, exposed crooks and scam artists and were sued multiple times for enabling mayhem and even murder.

However improbable the success of Soldier of Fortune, the story of its founder and field commander is more so. Bob Brown grew up modestly in Indiana. In the mid-1950s he ended up at the University of Colorado in Boulder, the town that would become home base for SOF. He was idealistic, pugilistic, didn't much care for authority and had a big case of attitude. He maneuvered through the Army Reserve, became a second lieutenant, shot on the pistol team and, as a part-time student, part-time soldier could barely contain his lust for adventure. The book tells well the twists and turns that led Mr. Brown to Cuba to write about, with sympathy, Fidel Castro's revolution against the dictator Batista. He didn't meet Castro, but hung around in the shadows of Havana. When Castro announced he was Communist, Mr. Brown fell in with a scruffy, colorful Florida network of anti-Castro operatives looking to invade Cuba, then Haiti and, for good measure, knock off the dictator of the Dominican Republic. Fortunately for Mr. Brown, those capers fizzled. Back in Boulder, he founded a small publishing company to sell booklets on guerilla warfare.

Recalled to active duty, Capt. Brown went to Vietnam assigned to a Special Forces A Team. He saw plenty of combat, was wounded and managed to exasperate most of the command structure. His commitment to his soldiers and the combat mission was as hard-edged as his disdain for the office-bound careerists, politicians and celebrities he was convinced lost a war that had been won on the ground.

After Vietnam he returned to Boulder, worked odd jobs, wrote a few articles and focused on the growing number and needs of disaffected vets. He played host to a steady stream of warriors looking for the next fight. Legions of combat-hardened American soldiers did not feel welcome at home in the '70s, but found a ready market for their skills in the brush fire conflicts that burned on the perimeters of the Cold War.

One of those markets was Africa. In 1974, soldiers of fortune, adventurers and mercenaries ("mercs") from around the world were headed to Rhodesia to help Ian Smith's beleaguered white government turn back a communist-backed insurgency. Mr. Brown joined them with his typewriter, camera and gun, committed to telling stories about the fight and the fighters. To make a few bucks, he placed a small classified ad in Shotgun News offering information on becoming a mercenary — and was amazed when hundreds of responses poured in from around the world. The idea was born for Soldier of Fortune magazine.

Journalists for SOF separated the good guys from the bad guys, and their stories were unapologetically anti-communist. SOF became known for tough journalism and breaking stories, calling out the self-promoting but hollow MIA rescue missions led by former Green Beret Bo Gritz, and secured evidence of "yellow rain" chemical attacks being used against Laotians and others. It was a new brand of journalism. As the success of SOF grew, so did the problems of working on the margins of journalism. The classified ads in Soldier of Fortune were lucrative, but those placing them and responding to them sometimes had dark purposes. The magazine was accused of promoting killers for hire. SOF fought back against the lawsuits and was regularly attacked in the mainstream media. Undaunted, Mr. Brown and his teams continued to fan out across the globe, reporting from the thick of combat in every hot spot and hellhole that made headlines — and many that didn't.

"I Am Solider of Fortune" is a half-century of history told from ground level. The higher value, though, may be in the perspective it offers on the warrior culture. From the outside, it is easy to believe every soldier of fortune, every "private security contractor," is a Rambo-style wild man, pumped on testosterone. Some of the characters passing through Mr. Brown's book are that. Others are darkly sinister. Most are measured, disciplined professionals who understand both risk and principle. True, the dialogue in "I Am Soldier of Fortune" often sounds like football coaches arguing in a bar, and SOF brethren are rowdy and don't play by the rules. So many names and places pop up it's easy to get lost. However, the strongest characters in his tale share an iron commitment to personal freedom, patriotism, disdain for enemies and a willingness to risk everything. They are tough as nails. Wannabe heroes and me-too patriots don't fare well under Mr. Brown's withering prose. Forty years after the Vietnam War, his contempt is fresh for those he believes betrayed American warriors — John Kerry, Jane Fonda and others.

At 80, Robert K. Brown stands as a central figure in a shadow world of secrecy and myth. His book opens that world to readers on the outside. There are many who don't like Soldier of Fortune magazine and the culture of rogue warrior exploits it represents.

Bob Brown doesn't care.

Quel âge à l'individu sur ces photos?

HERVE a écrit:

Heu, désolé je perds un peu le fil...ce sont les photos de qui?

Il s'agit de "Tony Poe" ...

... son vrai nom est Anthony Poshepny  (September 18, 1924 – June 27, 2003) :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Poshepny

Agent de la CIA, c'était un grand ami de Guillaume Vogeleer. Marc Hoogsteyns l'a également rencontré et en parle dans son livre "Heart of Darkness revisited".

Il en est question dans le fil de discussion.

J'ai déjà pensé plusieurs fois à Robert K. Brown et à "Tony Poe" car ils ont le même avis que Guillaume Vogeleer sur la valeur d'une vie humaine : tout est acceptable et même bien si c'est pour lutter contre le communisme.

Ce qui m'a posé question jusqu'à présent, c'est que personne ne mentionne que les tueurs pouvaient être anglophones. De plus, le "plausible denial" auquel les autorités américaines tiennent beaucoup n'aurait pas tenu le coup avec des personnages "aussi connus". Il fallait vraiment que les commanditaires soient certains qu'il n'y ait pas de problèmes avec les forces de l'ordre belges ... Il est vrai que si ils avaient, comme je le crois, du pouvoir sur l'Etat-major de la gendarmerie ...

Ce qui m'incite à en reparler, c'est l'importance de John Singlaub dans tout cela.

Nous avons heureusement le reportage de Marc Hoogsteyns sur Guillaume Vogeleer. Par ailleurs, John Singlaub, Daniel O. Graham et maintenant Robert K. Brown ont écrit leur autobiographie. Cela donne des informations intéressantes. Nous savons en tout cas que ces trois-là se connaissaient et travaillaient ensemble.

On peut ajouter Alexander Haig au groupe (à la secte Moon comme Douglas MacArthur II et Daniel O. Graham ... avec qui il était aussi à l'IEPS). Dans ce même groupe, il faut mettre le général belge Robert Close (proche de John Singlaub car ils ont tous les deux été présidents de la WACL ; en outre, président de l'IEPS dans lequel il y avait Alexander Haig et Daniel O. Graham ... et avec Yves Dumonceau de Bergendal et Armand De Decker comme vice-présidents).

On peut même aller un peu plus loin et remarquer que Daniel O. Graham (ainsi probablement que John Singlaub) était un conférencier militaire (comme le major Bougerol ?).

Un peu plus loin encore : via GeoMiliTech, John Singlaub travaillait avec Gutelman (TEA - TEAMCO), très proche du ministre de la justice Jean Gol (et de son chef de cabinet Nicolas de Kerckhove d'Ousselghem).

Avec Alexander Haig, on est proche de Henry Kissinger et de David Rockefeller (Bilderberg, etc). On est proche aussi du WNP (qui a eu des accords avec la secte Moon ... c'est-à-dire Douglas MacArthur II, Alexander Haig et Daniel O. Graham), donc de la comtesse Philibert de Liedekerke ... pas loin de Etienne Davigon (Bilderberg) et d'Argenteuil.

On se souvient du lien de Léopold III avec Guy Weber, Lyman Lemnitzer et Yves Dumonceau de Bergendal ainsi que du lien d'Alexandre de Belgique avec la famille de Liedekerke, Félix Przedborski, Michel Relecom, Mercedes, etc.

Quand il est question de Henry Kissinger et de David Rockefeller, il faut penser à la réunion de 1970 chez Rockefeller, quelques jours avant la tentative de coup d'Etat Borghese en Italie ... une réunion avec Pinay, Violet, Andreotti, Pesenti (le financier de Stefano delle Chiaie), Otto de Habsbourg et d'autres encore ...

Quant aux Luxembourgeois, ils pourraient étudier les liens entre la famille grand-ducale et Argenteuil ainsi qu'avec Otto de Habsbourg. Ils devraient aussi se pencher sur les Luxembourgeois membres de la WACL (je pense aux frères Bourg)...

Un élément qui a retenu mon attention est qu'il n'a pas été question de Guillaume Vogeleer lors du procès du commandant François, alors qu'il en était question dans le dossier : fallait-il se taire et ne surtout pas faire de vagues autour de "Jimmy" (qui a été en contact John Singlaub, Richard J. Slott, Stefano delle Chiaie, le chauffeur de Paul Vanden Boeynants, etc) ?

Les enquêteurs pourraient se concentrer sur les suspects encore en vie : Elio Ciolini, Stefano delle Chiaie, John Singlaub, Robert K. Brown, la comtesse de Liedekerke, Etienne Davignon, Armand De Decker, etc

Du côté des Etats-Unis, je me demande vraiment ce que pense John Kerry de tout cela ...

Début 1987 - soit environ un an après l’arrivée au pouvoir de Cory Aquino, qui mettait fin aux années de la dictature Marcos -, l’ancien général américain John Singlaub arrive à Manille. Longtemps chargé des « opérations spéciales » de la CIA en Asie, cet homme ambigu a demandé des permis de fouilles pour deux cent neuf sites disséminés aux Philippines. Objectif : retrouver le trésor de guerre dit « de Yamashita’ », du nom d’un général japonais exécuté en 1946 pour crimes de guerre.

Quant à John Kerry, il a beaucoup cherché au sujet de l'IranContra

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kerry

(...)  En avril 1986, John Kerry et le sénateur démocrate Christopher Dodd proposent qu'une commission d'enquête soit montée concernant les implications des Contras dans le trafic de cocaïne et de marijuana.

En marge de la commission, Kerry et ses proches commencent leur propre enquête et publient le 14 octobre un rapport dénonçant les activités illégales du Lieutenant-Colonel Oliver North et d'un réseau impliquant le NSC (National Security Council) et la CIA destinées à livrer des armes aux rebelles nicaraguayens. Kerry accuse North et certains membres de l'administration présidentielle d'avoir apporté leur soutien financier aux Contras et de leur avoir livré des armes illégalement, sans l'autorisation du Congrès. Le rapport de Kerry entraîne une série d'enquêtes s'étalant sur plusieurs années qui aboutissent au scandale de l'Irangate.  (...)

Un mercenaire-barbouze comme Guillaume Vogeleer, anticommuniste autoproclamé et forcené, collaborait plus ou moins directement avec les Khmers Rouges.

Les Khmers Rouges avaient d'ailleurs noué des liens étroits avec les militaires thaïlandais de droite voire d'extrême-droite.

Lors d'un séjour à Pattaya en 1991, les gardes du corps de Pol Pot étaient fournis par la Task Force 838 (une unité spéciale thaïlandaise). Voir la photo extraite de "Getting away with genocide" (T. Fawthrop & H. Jarvis , 2004).

Alexander's collaborator, Ray S. Cline, is a central figure in the terrorism industry, an early proponent of the Soviet network theory, and a leading member and spokesman of the far right. For a long time he was a senior associate at CSIS, adjunct professor of International Relations at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service, and an instructor at the Defense Intelligence School. He currently chairs the CAUSA-affiliated U.S. Global Strategy Council, and serves on the editorial board of the Moon-owned monthly magazine, 'The World and I', edited by Arnaud de Borchgrave. Cline is affiliated with many other members of the terrorism industry. During World War II, Cline served as a naval intelligence officer and worked for the OSS in Kunming, China, with John Singlaub, Mitchell Livingstone WerBell III, Richard Helms, and Howard Hunt. Cline later served as deputy CIA station chief in South Korea in the early 1950s. From 1958 to 1962, he was the CIA's station chief in Taiwan, and from 1962 to 1966 was the agency's deputy director for intelligence. He later became director of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (1969-73), where he helped coordinate the CIA's destabilization and eventual overthrow of the Allende government in Chile. (12)   (...)

Cline has been an outspoken proponent of disinformation and direct manipulation of the press by the CIA. In testimony before the House Select Committee on Intelligence, Cline defended the use of such covert devices as black propaganda and the funding of journalists, arguing that "the First Amendment is only an amendment."(23) Despite his CIA background, extensive connections with the extreme right at home and abroad, his open disregard for free speech and the rules of evidence, and the heavily propagandistic character of his writings, Cline has been a frequent guest on ABC's "Nightline," speaking on terrorism and defending the U.S. government's use of Nazi war criminals as missile scientists ("Nightline," October 18, 1984).

Remarks by the Deputy Director for Operations James L. Pavitt at the OSS Society Banquet

June 8, 2002

(...)    I was born in 1946. The legacy of OSS had already been written by many of the men and women who are in this room tonight. That is remarkable in my mind.

From the Jedburghs that General Singlaub spoke about who parachuted behind enemy lines to officers like Allen Dulles, who ran agents into Germany itself, OSS laid the foundations and wrote the rules for what we do now. The tradecraft that my officers today follow, the operations we run, the risks we take, the sacrifices we make—all, all have their roots in OSS.  (...)

Borghese and Delle Chiaie were welcomed to Spain by numerous friends of the "Black Orchestra," in particular Otto Skorzeny, the Duke of Valencia, Jose Antonio Giron, a former Franco minister who provided them with accommodation at his villa in Fuengirol, and Mariano Sanchez Covisa, an influential Madrid businessman and father of the notorious "Guerrillas of Christ the King," the Spanish death squads.

Spain was to provide new opportunities for Stefano Delle Chiaie with his special skills, his considerable influence over his friendship circle and his small army of dedicated followers in both Italy and Spain. His leadership qualities were immediately recognised by Skorzeny, who took him under his wing as his protege. Skorzeny's business operations also provided useful cover for the real life's work of Delle Chiaie, which was now entering a new and more international phase.

Après la guerre, Skorzeny s'enfuit vers l'Espagne franquiste. Il devient responsable du trésor de guerre nazi constitué sans qu'Hitler le sache par Martin Bormann dès 1944. Sa propre organisation, la Bruderschaft (la «Fraternité»), se transforme en ODESSA («Organisation des anciens membres de la SS », une organisation chargée de gérer les fonds récupérés par les anciens SS et permettre ainsi d'assurer matériellement leur vie future.

En 1953, Skorzeny est envoyé par l'ancien général Reinhard Gehlen en Égypte comme conseiller militaire du général Mohammed Naguib. Avec le général Wilhelm Fahrmbacher et plusieurs anciens nazis tels Oskar Munzel, ancien général de division de Panzer, Leopold Gleim, ancien responsable de la garde personnelle d'Hitler, Joachim Daemling, ancien responsable de la Gestapo à Dusseldorf et le docteur Hans Eisele du camp de Buchenwald, il structure les forces militaires et policières du pays, entraînant les premiers commandos palestiniens et contribuant largement à l'installation d'un complexe d'armement dirigé contre Israël.

En 1970, il crée avec Gerhard Hartmut von Schubert une organisation de lutte anti-communiste basée en Espagne franquiste, qui organise des attentats et recrute des mercenaires : le Paladin group. Il s'adonnait aussi au trafic d'armes, par l'intermédiaire de sa société Atlantico, sise dans l'Espagne franquiste.

Il meurt le 6 juillet 1975 d'un cancer à Madrid. Il avait épousé Ilse von Finkenstein en secondes noces.

TWENTY GUNS FOR DRUGS

In August 1976 Lucien Conein's chum Mitch WerBell III (whose B.R. Fox Company had shared a Washington office with Conein's DEA Special Operations Group) was brought before a Miami federal court on charges of conspiracy to smuggle 50,000 pounds of marijuana a month from Colombia to the United States.

He and several coconspirators had allegedly hatched the plot in the summer of 1975, just when Alberto Sicilia-Falcon was arrested in Mexico. Multi-ton marijuana loads were to have been flown from Colombia to an isolated ranch in the Florida Everglades near the cow town of Okeechobee.[1]

The star prosecution witness was one of WerBell's close associates, the convicted cocaine and marijuana smuggler Kenneth Gordon Burnstine. However,weeks before his scheduled court appearance he died in the mysterious crash of his P-51 Mustang at an air show. Most of the vital tape recordings and films of meetings between Burnstine, WerBell, and other defendants were no longer producible in court.

WerBell's defense was that his role in the plot had been as an undercoveragent for Conein.

Both Conein and Egil Krogh were to have been witnesses on his behalf. But Krogh testified that he didn't know WerBell had worked for the DEA's Special Operations Branch, and Conein wasn't called at all.

Another defense witness was the soldier of fortune Gerry Hemming, whose private army of Cuban exiles and Americans, the International Penetration Force, appears, from Hemming's description of its missions, to have played an active role in Operation 40. During the trial, Hemming would stay late into the night in WerBell's hotel room.[2]  WerBell was found innocent and released, just like the Thai opium smuggler/CIA agent Puttaporn Khramkhruan before him in 1973. He went home to Georgia to pursue his weapons business and law enforcement training camp.

According to writer Hank Messick, in 1978 he was involved in far Right politics with the likes of Major General John K. Singlaub (who had been relieved of his command in Korea after outspoken criticism of President Carter) and members of the American Security Council[3]— the key U.S. link to the far Right's international umbrella organization, the World Anti-Communist League (WACL). As reported recently in the New York Times, the beneficiaries of his antiterrorist training have included members of the far Right, anti-Semitic U.S. Labor Party.[4]

WerBell owns eight companies, most of them dealing in firearms used by lawenforcement and intelligence units. One of the firms, Studies in the Operational Negation of Insurgents and Counter-Subversion (SIONICS), specializes in the production of M10 and M11 silenced machine pistols.

The latter two weapons, designed by Gordon Ingram and WerBell, are about the ultimate weapons for terror and extermination. Their sales agent was WerBell's Military Armament Corporation.[5]

Together with the anti-Castro Cuban arms dealers Anselmo Alliegro and the mercenary Gerry Hemming, WerBell founded the Parabellum Corporation in1971 in Miami.[6]  Parabellum. was licensed to sell arms in Latin America. It was also the firm from which Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis planned to obtain weapons for Cuban exiles who were going to (but eventually did not) disrupt the 1972 Miami conventions.[7]

In 1974 WerBell -according to a motion filed by his own lawyer when WerBell, his son and his company Defense Services, Inc. were charged with illicit weapons sales - was involved in a "conspiracy among the CIA, Robert Vesco, and various corporations to finance clandestine guerilla activities in Latin America." [8]

Vesco wanted to purchase WerBell's stock of 2000 silenced M10 machine pistols. When WerBell failed to secure an export license, he devised a plan to smuggle the weapons to Vesco. The two later negotiated the construction of a factory in Costa Rica which would be licensed to fabricate the pistols.[9]  

Intriguingly, in that same period someone was negotiating with a U.S.firm for rights to fabricate, in Mexico, fully automatic weapons for clandestine guerilla actions in Latin America. That someone was Mexico's Cuban exile heroin czar, Alberto Sicilia-Falcon,[10]  and among the weapons he was inspecting was the Ingram M10, 9 mm Parabellum.[11]  Although the M10 and M11 could be acquired legally only with the special permission of U.S. officials, large numbers of silenced M10s turned up in thehands of European fascist terrorists in 1976-77.

When Pierluigi Concutelli, a leader of the Italian terrorist group Ordine Nuovo, was arrested in Rome in February 1977, police found in his apartment the silenced M10 which he had used to murder the Rome magistrate Vittorio Occorsio. [12]

0ccorsio had beenshot down on the streets of Rome in July 1976 after announcing he would expose the close collaboration between Fascist terror groups and the Mafia.[13]

However, it was among Spanish terrorists in particular that WerBell's machine pistols appeared in quantity.[14] Most notably, a sizable consignment of M10s, sent to Spain under license from U.S. authorities, had been purchased by Spanish intelligence agency DGS,[15] which has allegedly coordinated the actions of Fascist terrorists. [16]

Purée ! Je m'attendais à quelque chose de ce genre, mais je ne pensais pas en obtenir la confirmation ! Beaucoup d'utilisateurs du forum ne s'en doutent probablement pas, mais c'est un événement très important pour qui s'intéresse au contexte de l'époque, et à la nébuleuse des mercenaires-barbouzes d'extrême-droite. Pas surprenant en soi (les liens CIA-nazis sont assez connus) mais tout de même impressionnant. Il serait intéressant de savoir si Brown et ses associés (notamment ceux liés à la CIA) ont pu recycler ou réutiliser les réseaux du Paladin Group voire d'Aginter Presse.

Ce genre d'information devrait intéresser les auteurs de "L'orchestre noir" (1978), si ils sont toujours en vie.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paladin_group

Le Paladin Group (que l'on peut traduire par « Groupe de paladins ») était une organisation d'extrême droite créée en 1970 par Otto Skorzeny. Lié à la World Anti-Communist League (WACL), il se concevait comme bras armé de la lutte anti-communiste pendant la guerre froide.

(...)

Le trafic d'armes organisé par Otto Skorzeny, qui possède la société Atlantico, contribue au financement. La CIA, dans sa lutte contre les communistes, finance certaines opérations.

Jacques Foccart, ancien résistant, fut également l'un des principaux commanditaires d'Atlantico et d'Otto Skorzeny

Intéressant à noter :

Having been spotted by the talent scout Fritz Kraemer, Kissinger served in the CIC during the war before teaching from 1946 on at the European Command Intelligence Center in Oberursel, known as Camp King. Besides interrogating high-level members of the former Nazi administration, Camp King was also chosen in 1946 as the first site for the Gehlen Org


Il semble probable que Henry Kissinger a rencontré Otto Skorzeny...
