Theodore Shackley

Uh, but he didn't really totally clean up the US clandestine deep state, obviously.

He fired people like, uh, I think Ray Clines and, um, T-Ted, uh, Ted Shackley, uh, some of the most, the sinister and freewheeling covert operatives, maybe people left over from, uh, the, the more hardcore freewheeling, uh, Angleton, Angleton, but not exactly.

Angleton and more, uh, that sort of o-operations aspect of the CIA.

So n-not-- I th- I don't think Shackley was really affiliated with Angleton.

It came out of the Nugent Hand Bank in Australia.

It was money that was put in there from the Nugent Hand from the purchase of heroin in Southeast Asia by the Southeast Asian station chief, a CIA station chief, Theodore G. Shackley, the station chief in Saigon.

you know, had a partnership with Vang Pao of the heroin smuggling.

And a share of that money was put into the Nugent Hand Bank.

Israel also was never purged from its position in the syndicate.

Even under the more even-handed Carter administration with Admiral Turner as the DCI, the Israelis maintained a mole with Turner's underling, Ted Shackley, the blonde ghost.

and proceeded to integrate with all U.S. departments even deeper than Saudi Arabia.

Now, when it comes to 9-11, let it be no shock that all of these factions arise again and cover for each other.
