The Ties That Bind the GOP to apartheid, Israeli weapons smugglers, Iran-Contra, and right-wing U.S. propaganda:
February 2, 2006 -- Abramoff espionage links with apartheid South Africa sanctioned by Reagan-Bush White House. Documents obtained by WMR reveal that the Reagan-Bush White House sanctioned, financed, and provided high-level intelligence support to an international propaganda effort that, among other tasks, established "Casino Jack" Abramoff's South African intelligence-funded International Freedom Foundation (IFF), code-named Pacman by the South Africans, which was part of an international propaganda program code-named Project Babushka, designed to undermine the African National Congress (ANC) and provide support for Angola's UNITA. According to South African documents, the South African strategy sessions for the covert programs were code-named Sanhedrin. WMR previously reported on how South African intelligence ran "approved" South African opposition party leaders.
However, the South African program was all part of the Reagan-Bush attempt to circumvent international sanctions against the apartheid regime. The South African-U.S. intelligence program involved a number of covert programs, including South Africa's Projects Longreach and Babushka and the United States' Doomsday Project. Doomsday involved more than 20 classified "black programs" in the CIA, DIA, and private companies run by retired military and intelligence officers.
The programs involving South Africa ultimately came under the purview of CIA officer Walter Raymond, who became the National Security Council's international communications director and special assistant to the President in 1983 (this position was similar to the one that Karen Hughes now occupies at the State Department -- running international U.S. propaganda. In fact, Raymond's portfolio was authorized by Reagan's National Security Decision Directive, NSDD-77 signed in January 1983. Written by Raymond, the directive called for strengthening "the organization, planning, and coordination of the various aspects of the public diplomacy of the United States). Raymond wrote in a number of NSC memoranda in May 1985 that he hoped a "Freedom Fighters International" movement would be formed. The group was to include the Nicaraguan contras, Afghan mujaheddin, Jonas Savimbi's UNITA in Angola, and other groups. >>>cont
