The CIA, Fellow Travelers and Their Clandestine Underground & Undersea Lairs

This blog post will be a little long and meandering, but please bear with me. There is pay dirt in the meandering.

I became aware of the CIA's grim nature early in life. I was born and reared just a short hop, skip and jump away from the CIA's main training facility, at Camp Peary, in Tidewater Virginia. I've been by the place umpteen times over the years. It has always, in my childhood and adulthood, had a dark, glowering, foreboding sort of appearance from the outside, just driving past -- the security fence, the brooding silence, the entry way. The place radiates a negative aura. How could it be otherwise?

So I was directly aware of the CIA from my earliest years, when I was just a little boy.

In the late 1970s and 1980s I  read a whole suite of excellent books about the CIA, all of which I recommend to one and all. 

In Search of Enemies: A CIA Story, by John Stockwell

The Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World, by Fletcher Prouty

The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, by Alfred W. McCoy

The Crimes of Patriots: A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money, and the CIA, by Jonathan Kwitney


The first book, by John Stockwell, a former US Marine Corps officer and CIA agent, was very revelatory for me at the time, maybe 30 years ago when I first read it. Stockwell related how he became progressively more and more aware of the CIA's massive criminality, and of his own role in it, until he was led by his conscience to resign in disgust from the agency. The book got a fair amount of press at the time. As I recall the CIA tried to block it, and finally struck a deal where the CIA itself receives the royalties from the book's sale! -- or something like that. So much for 2nd amendment rights to freedom of the press.


The Secret Team, by Fletcher Prouty, first appeared in the 1970s. I avidly devoured it when I read it in the 1980s. Prouty lays it all right out -- the CIA by then had already metastasized into everything -- Hollywood, academe, Wall Street, Madison Avenue,  publishing, radio and TV broadcasting, newspapers and magazines, politics, banking, the military, religion and much more. Its tentacles and operatives were everywhere, insinuating the CIA into everything, everywhere. Prouty made the point that already as of the early 1970s, hundreds of compartmentalized units in the US military were de facto CIA operations, removed from effective control of the military chain of command. Think of the implications of that. A little later on in this blog post I will provide a concrete example of just one instance of what Prouty means.

The last two books, by Alfred McCoy and Jonathan Kwitney, have to do with the CIA's  long-time, massive involvement in global narcotics trafficking operations, and associated, massive money laundering activities. You could make the case that the CIA is indirectly and directly the world's single largest narco-trafficking and dirty-money-laundering criminal cartel.

There's no need to put lipstick on a pig, and pretend that it is something that it is not. The CIA has been a homicidal, larcenous, lying, thieving, backstabbing, dirty dealing, foul, vile organization virtually from its inception in 1947, when it was cobbled together from elements of the OSS, the USSA's WW-II intelligence agency and the Gehlen Organization, the spy apparatus run by Adolf Hitler's wartime spy chief, General Reinhard Gehlen. Gehlen struck a deal with the Americans at war's end to deliver his NAZI spy organization to the American intelligence service, in exchange for clemency. Gehlen delivered the goods as promised, and several years later became the head of West Germany's intelligence service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst, BND. The OSS and the Gehlen Organization were merged, yielding the modern day CIA, meaning that from the very beginning the CIA has been a hybrid American-NAZI agency.

This is essential to understanding the world that we live in. World War-II did not end as we have been taught; neither was it conducted as we have been taught.  Beyond the hybrid NAZI nature of the CIA, for decades it has closely coordinated operations and intelligence with the Mossad, the Zionist intelligence agency, and other agencies such as the British MI-6, obviously the German BND, which Hitler's ex-spy master, Reinhard Gehlen, went on to direct after WW-II, and other agencies. If you find this improbable, bear in mind that after WW-II many hundreds of NAZI technicians, engineers and scientists were secretly brought to the US as part of Project Paperclip. They played an influential, crucial role in the manned space program of NASA and the ballistic missile programs of the US military. This is now publicly known by many people, though it was not known in the 1940s and 1950s. 

There was also a less well known, Egyptian Operation Paperclip, authorized by President Gamal Abdel Nasser, run out of Factory 333, in Heliolopolis, Egypt. (As an aside, the US Operation Paperclip NAZIs were put to work in the late-1940s at Launch Pad 33 -- it was the only one! -- on White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico. Can you spot the Masonic numerology in both projects?) Nasser brought in a large contingent of ex-NAZI scientists, engineers and technicians to develop an Egyptian rocket and missile program. The Israelis caught wind of the program and targeted the German rocket experts for assassination. Astonishingly, the Mossad ended up recruiting former SS-officer and commando, Otto Skorzeny, a wartime favorite of Adolf Hitler, as a hit man to kill the Germans in Egypt. The Mossad tracked Skorzeny down in Spain and made him an offer that he did not refuse. Sorzeny went to work for the Mossad and killed 6 ex-NAZI rocket experts in Egypt. The rest of the Germans hastily abandoned the project and that was the end of the Egyptian Project Paperclip operation.

I mention this curious, murderous, historical anecdote only to point out that in the world of the clandestine and secret services, things are frequently not what they superficially seem to be, not in the 1940s, not in the 1960s, and certainly not today. 

Another aspect of Project Paperclip that my research has uncovered has to do with the USSA military's post-war "Underground Plant Program." In 1947 Project Paperclip requested Xaver Dorsch and three of his colleagues to be made available for the aforementioned "Underground Plant Program." Xaver Dorsch was at that time perhaps the premier expert in the world on underground base construction. At war's end he was the director of the Todt Organization, which was the NAZI military's civil engineering agency. It was the approximate equivalent of the US Army Corps of  Engineers and the Navy Seabees, albeit that it was a nominally civilian agency. The Todt Organization was established by Fritz Todt, the father of the well-known, German Autobahn system of highways. Fritz Todt was killed in an airplane crash in mid-war, in 1942, and Xaver Dorsch was tapped to fill his position. Though Dorsch reported to Albert Speer, in 1944 Adolf Hitler asked Dorsch to begin a priority program of massive underground base construction and to report directly to him on its progress, instead of to Speer. The war ended and Xaver Dorsch was taken into USSA military custody where he was extensively debriefed, and then requested by Project Paperclip in 1947. In 1951 Dorsch surfaced publicly again and founded the Dorsch Consult, now known as the Dorsch Gruppe, a large and well known, international engineering firm.

The point I am making is quite simple: the ongoing, underground bases program, the military and civilian aerospace programs and the CIA, all had important input and contributions from expert elements of the Third Reich in the years just after WW-II's end.

The Fletcher Prouty Operation 

As I have already mentioned, Fletcher Prouty was the author of the eye-opening, Secret Team book, that provided so many troubling revelations about the CIA's secret dealings. I spoke with Prouty in the late 1990s and he revealed to me that beyond being a liaison officer during the height of the Cold War between the CIA and the US military, that he had also been in charge of running the rat line that brought the Project Paperclip NAZIs to the United States. That conversation was more than 20 years ago and I didn't know nearly as much, about a lot of things, as I do today. He confided to me that he and the others involved in Project Paperclip did not at first fully appreciate just how crazy the NAZI psychiatrists they brought over from Germany were. In retrospect, I believe he was alluding to the things the NAZIs were doing for mind control techniques that were utilized in the then publicly unknown MK-Ultra and Project Monarch mind control operations of the CIA, which I and many others believe are ongoing in a major way to the present day.

Prouty also mentioned to me that the week that President Kennedy was murdered, he was abruptly ordered to the South Pole. Clearly he was ordered to the ends of the Earth to get him out of the way of the conspirators. Given his high level access to the CIA and military, the cabal involved in the plot obviously wanted him out of Washington, DC, so that he could not interfere with the assassination.

At the time I spoke with Prouty I had already identified the US Army's Warrenton Training Stations in northern Virginia as the site of a CIA underground facility. Nominally the training stations were identified as, and run by the US Army as, US Army facilities. But in reality the US Army fig leaf was just a cover for what in actuality was a CIA underground facility. I asked Prouty about that facility. He didn't deny what I had discovered, but he replied that he couldn't tell me anything about the Warrenton Training Stations, or what was done there, because that got into the area of "Special Operations" and was classified, and he could not divulge classified information. For those who want to know more about the Warrenton facilities try this Wikipedia article: Warrenton Training Center. Interestingly the article says: "In 2002, the Brookings Institution listed an unspecified WTC 'relocation bunker' as a facility with an active nuclear weapons, weapons-related or naval nuclear propulsion mission." You may interpret that very unusual information as you wish. Your guess is likely to be as good as mine, as to what is really going on underground in Warrenton, Virginia. 

It's not the only underground facility in Virginia. There are assuredly many others, a few of which are publicly known, such as:

Peters Mountain, in Albemarle County  not far from Charlottesville
Mount Weather, near Bluemont 

There is also a major underground facility beneath the Pentagon and very likely beneath the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, in the Washington, DC suburbs, not to be confused with Langley Air Force Base, at the other end of the state in Hampton, Virginia.


How Extensive Is The Underground System? 

Very.

I have every reason to believe that what I know just scratches the proverbial surface.  

Based on my research, and drawing on information that has been passed to me informally, I 100% expect that there are also underwater bases and tunnels, as well as underground bases and tunnels.

There are underground facilities and tunnels all over the USSA. They can be anywhere -- and are! Under forests, mountains, deserts, cities, etc. The technology to construct bases one mile deep is comparative "child's play" in the words of one expert who spoke to me off the record. I have been told that bases can even be as deep as several miles underground. I am not an insider, and I do not know all the technology that is available to the Deep State, but I believe that what I have been told is true. The one mile figure I 100% accept as state of the art for the underground bases projects.

Many underground bases are known: Mount Weather in Virginia, Peters Mountain in Virginia, Camp David in Maryland, Site "R" on the Maryland-Pennsylvania border, Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado, the NSA underground facility in Laurel, Maryland, the underground facility beneath the White House, the Manzano base in New Mexico, the large facility beneath Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska, etc.

Without question there are many more, and many large facilities, that remain clandestine, Top Secret, compartmentalized, publicly unknown. 

In terms of the most likely areas for these facilities in the continental USSA the following have come to my attention:

a) the entire Appalachian region from New England all the way to northern Alabama and Georgia, including, but not limited to, the White Mountains in New England, the Interstate-81 corridor in Virginia, the eastern Tennessee region, the mountains of Pennsylvania and western Maryland

b) the entire Rocky Mountain region

c) the Sierra Nevada in California

d) all of the desert Southwest, including Nevada and lapping over into eastern and southern California

My research strongly points to a network of deep underground, high-speed, mag-lev train tunnels connecting at least some of the underground bases. Based on everything I know, including hard and soft data, I consider it likely that a highly secret, high-tech, high-speed, underground tunnel system has been built, likely in the mid-1970s to early 1990s time frame.

Based on my archival research and other information that has come to me, I also consider it likely that there are major tunnels and bases beneath the sea. Understand that once workers and construction equipment are down into the bedrock beneath the seafloor, the engineering challenges are not appreciably different from those encountered in a construction environment in solid rock thousands of feet beneath the surface of dry land. In both cases the operating environment is an enclosed environment in deep strata of solid rock.

I explore the technologies involved in constructing underground and underwater bases and tunnels in my three books:

Hidden in Plain Sight: Beyond the X-Files

Underground Bases and Tunnels: What is the Government Trying to Hide?

Underwater and Underground Bases

Suffice it to say that for more than half a century, the technology in marine engineering, civil engineering, mining engineering and petroleum engineering has permitted this type of construction to go forward. The techniques and machinery involved are very sophisticated and powerful.

As regards the underwater bases, the following locations are prime areas that are likely to have bases:

a) the continental shelf off the eastern seaboard of the mainland USSA, all the way from Florida to New England

b) the New England sea mounts in the North Atlantic off of northeastern North America

c) the Gulf of Mexico

d) the Caribbean Sea, especially (but not only) around Puerto Rico and Andros Island in the Bahamas

e) Lake Erie

f) the Channel Islands off of southern California

g) the Hawaiian Island region

h) the Aleutian Islands region 

i) the San Juan Islands, Vancouver Island region of western North America


What About the Funding?

Mind you that money is no issue, either to obtain the sums needed, or to hide the paper trail.

During my research I was privileged to have a lengthy conversation with a bona fide, high level, underground bases construction expert. I put to him the question as to how large, covert projects could be carried out with no paper trail of the funding.

To my astonishment, he proceeded to recite for me in detail how he had funded one of the clandestine projects on which he had been the lead project engineer. By the time he was finished I could scarcely comprehend what he had just told me. He laid out for me a convoluted, Rube Goldberg accounting scheme that involved offshore accounts, multiple USSA government agencies, an Egyptian shell company, and much more that went right over my head. The  money was moved around, in very large amounts, in what amounted to a high finance, international,  inter-agency, money laundering shell game.

I was stunned. Rest assured, Dear Reader, that the banking laws and money laundering laws are written to oppress and control **you** -- while the Deep State does whatever it wants, and in a major, multi-million and multi-billion, even multi-trillion dollar way.

Yes, I mean that literally. Multi-trillions of dollars. They just skim it right out of the economy, defraud the public out of vast, unimaginable sums of money and do whatever they want: underground bases, underwater bases, secret, high-speed train tunnels, and God only knows what all else.

As Catherine Austin Fitts at the Solari Report, has documented, the USSA government cannot account for some $21 trillion in funding. 

The Federal Government Can’t Account for $21 Trillion. Does Anybody Care?

Where has the money gone? What has been done with it? Who really is running the USSA government?

I submit to you that a lot of that money has quite probably been lavished on secret underground and underwater bases and tunnels.

As for who or what is really running the USSA government? I don't know and neither do you, but clearly the Congress is not in charge, and neither is the President.

We are witnesses to a deceitfully staged, Punch and Judy, political puppet show designed to distract our attention from the ENORMOUS craftily hidden theft that we are subject to, all while being told to: vote! pay taxes! obey the law! respect the government! pledge allegiance to the flag! support the military! submit to official authority!

Is the CIA Involved?

You can be certain of CIA involvement. The CIA is massively involved in a wide range of Black Ops, Covert Ops, Special Operations, call them what you like, and has been for the past 70 years.

Over the years I have heard the group that is running the domain of the secret underground and underwater bases referred to as the "Organization" or the "Company."

For many years, the CIA has been informally referred to as the "Company."

Why? Many explanations have been proffered, but certainly one of the biggest reasons has to do with the fact that the CIA is in business, extremely evil business to be blunt. Gun running/weapons trafficking, human trafficking, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and all of this on a massive, global scale.

It's all very violently, way out of control. And those are just the things we know that the CIA does, that can be and have been documented.

Given what my research has uncovered, and the CIA's known, long-time involvement in the highly secure, underground base in Warrenton, Virginia, for me it is no stretch to believe that "The Company" I have heard referenced with respect to the secret underground and undersea operations is, in fact, the CIA --  or perhaps its Siemens subsidiary. Yes, that would be the same Siemens that played a role in the Third Reich and is still a major, international engineering firm, the same Siemens whose name keeps popping up in my underground and underwater bases and tunnels research. Not forgetting, of course, that the CIA was from its inception, a hybrid USSA-NAZI agency.

I leave you with the thought that nothing is as we have been told. The political theatre now underway in Washington, DC and elsewhere around the world is just a Punch and Judy puppet show to keep you distracted while the Deep State carries out its real agenda, its MASSIVE $21 trillion agenda.

I wish I could have another conversation with Fletcher Prouty. I know so much more as of late 2019 than I did when we spoke more than 20 years ago. But he's dead now and has taken his secrets with him to the grave.

But not to worry. We live on and it falls to us to uncover the whole, corrupt, unimaginably horrid, criminal mess and recover control of our lives, our society and our world.
