The Secret Team, L. Fletcher Proutys exposé of the CIAs brutal methods of maintaining national security during the Cold War, was first published in the 1970s. However, virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, having been purchased en masse by shady "private buyers." Certainly, Proutys allegationssuch as how the U2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage EisenhowerKhrushchev talkcannot have pleased the CIA. The Secret Team appears once more with a new introduction by Jesse Ventura.

Great!,

This review is from: Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World (Paperback)
Colonel Prouty's book on the Secret Team should be required reading for all concerned Americans. Herein, the author, a retired Air Force Colonel and CIA insider, reveals for all to see the machinations of the Secret Team and their impact on US history in the post World War II era. This is terribly important information.
I was particularly impressed with Prouty's depiction of Eisenhower's peace initiative and how it was sabatoged by the Secret Team. Ike was preparing for his peace summit with Kruschev when Gary Powers was sent off on his fool's errand on April 30th, 1960, a date with significant occult emblematics. The capture of Powers by the Soviets effectively scuttled the Eisenhower peace plan, which would have ruined the plans of the Secret Team, for continued Cold War tension, and treasure for the merchants of venom. The essential truths in this important book are still relevant today. Of course, the ineffectual George Walker Bush is not entirely in charge of American foreign policy in this critical time. He is certainly still being manipulated by the sucessors of the Secret Team depicted in this excellent and well written book. Any serious student of American foreign policy in the post World War II era ought to read this important book.

Prouty, retired Colonel in U.S. Air Force did a duty to his country writing his books,

...and yet apparently others have done their best to keep these books out of circulation. Perhaps best known for his book on JFK, this is probably an equally important book and it is information to which people should have access.
[...] We live in a fascinating time when so many deeply buried secrets are being exposed. Like the late Prouty's friend Mark Phillips says, "Truth lives a wretched life but it outlives a lie every time." We have people like Fletcher Prouty to thank for that.

Outstanding Prouty at his Best - until the JFK book!,

This review is from: Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World (Paperback)
In the 16 years and five weeks
history (but who's counting?)of the greatest Patriot Radio Talk Show ever, Tom Valentine's Radio Free America (on shortwave), Mr. Lawrence Fletcher Prouty (Rt. Col.) appeared 17 times, more than anybody else, other than myself (once as guest and 200 other times calling in). Col. Prouty certainly made his point about the Oligarcs that try to control every aspect of our lives. And yes, those include the folkes at the C.I.A. I AM not an Oliver Stone fan, per se, however the reason 'JFK', based on Prouty's book is so good, is not be- cause of Stone! It was Prouty who was played as Man X in the movie by Donald Sutherland, who was the top among many Technical Advisors there who helped Stone develop his thesis furthest. There is a great website devoted to Fletch Prouty run by Len Osanic, of British Co- lumbia, Canada. While it is still up, folkes, we need to mine it for everything it's worth. Get in touch with Len and get the interactive CD-Rom/DVD! It's worth it.
