Premium Episode 122 - Spyclopedia #5 - Eight Years with the CIA pt. 2: the Parallel Apparatus, the Q Files, and Systematized Blackmail Operations
🕑 Added 2024-02-07 13:03:40 +0000 UTCI finish the story of Manuel Hevia Coscullela, the Cuban spy, based off his memoir, Pasaporte 11333 : ocho años con la CIA (1978). I examine what exactly Hevia was doing for the agency and what USAID's Office of Public Safety was up to. I discuss Lyndon B. Johnson's visit to Punta del Este, Uruguay for the Organization of American States (OAS) summits/conferences and how that affected the domestic political climate.
I get obsessed with the story of Uruguayan military officer Colonel Ramon Trabal - assassinated by "the Raul Sendic International Brigade" in Paris, a story which quickly enters the funhouse hall of mirrors.
Then, to double back on the discussion of Gittinger's PAS files, entrapment ops, and MKULTRA death squad selection processes, I cover Hevia's explanation of the L and Q files. Just wait. He also explains the construction of a "parallel apparatus" and, in relation, discusses a police pimp.
Afterwards, Hevia ran a restaurant as part of ops the CIA and Uruguayan police were running in Uruguay. Finally, Mitrione appears in Hevia's story, and I go through some details left out in the prior episodes. Ice cold.

I have been listening for a while now, and I appreciate very much your clear and moderately paced delivery and your well researched and outlined material. I have gone on to listen to quite a few more researchers through you when there are no pay walls immediately. Thank you.
