WILL THE REAL "PEGASUS" PLEASE STAND UP?
Back in CN 6.89, we read of one Trenton Parker, with mention of a top-secret group named "Pegasus".
July 29, 1993: A veteran CIA operative claiming to be with an especially secretive group known as Pegasus, was guest. Trenton Parker, a "sheep-dipped" Marine Colonel, told of his role in planning/execution of the "great energy scam" of the 70s when Big Oil drove U.S. independent oil companies out of business, closed/opened the Suez Canal, created lines at gas pumps to drive up price of oil, filched stolen gold into the market by opening the gold window to Americans for 1st time since 1933, sold weapons to Arab states getting rich from the oil scam and sealed the deal with Portland cement from Spain.
For further background on Parker, see Rodney Stich's classic outline of hidden corruption in the U.S. government, Defrauding America {1}. See also Radio Free America's tape archives of past programs {2}.
"Pegasus", according to Stich and Parker, was (is?) a unit within the CIA. Headquarters for Pegasus was (is?) said to be hidden within the U.S. Department of Labor offices in Fairfax, Virginia. According to Parker, the Pegasus unit was started by President Harry Truman with purpose being to spy on the CIA itself and then report back to Truman. Supposedly the last President to be aware of the Pegasus unit was JFK.
Now comes Gene Tatum and wife with their own information on what they are calling "Operation Pegasus". (You can read about it at http://www.freespeechnews.com/callme/ )
Purpose: To deliver passengers to El Ocotal, Costa Rica and to gather vital Intel from moles at Ojo de Agua/El Tamborcito, Nicaragua. (So says the document I have. Note that I have no idea at this point whether this whole thing is legit: some say yes; some say no.)
Casting a bad light on the legitimacy of this "Operation Pegasus" story is the following: "It was determined by Intelligence provided by Wally World..." Wally World?
The Pegasus Unit. Operation Pegasus. The same? Different, with their common name just a coincidence? One legit and the other disinformation? Time will tell.
