NSA & U.S. ARMY SPY ON ANTI-WAR GROUPS

Anti-war groups that protested against the Viet-Nam War were spyed on by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and the U.S. Army Security Agency (ASA), the military wing of the NSA, both of which were and are part of the Department of Defense.

Despite laws against domestic spying, the Army Security Agency during early October 1967, established thirty-six temporary listening posts in and around Washington, D.C. and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia prior to the "March on the Pentagon" which occured during October 21 to 23, 1967.

Additionally,soldiers from the U.S. Army Military Intelligence Command, posing as civilians, joined demonstrators riding buses and trains to Washington, D.C. from throughout the United States.

Also, hundreds of undercover FBI agenst or agent provocateurs in the employ of the FBI, infiltrated many groups. All of these operations were approved by Lyndon Johnson, then president.

Plus, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, an anti-communist zealot, on the eve of the "March on the Pentagon", publicly announced that the White House had secret evidence indicating the anti-war movement was Communist-controlled. Strangely, Mr. Rusk pretended that he was a fundamentalist Christian like his parents who were devout followers of John Calvin. Apparently, Mr. Rusk justified his fascist politics by embracing Calvinist preachers who said Communists were agents of the Devil.

You can read the story about the secret spy operations in Final Report (Book II) published by the U.S. Senate Select Committee to Study Intelligence Activities.

And if you know anyone out of the 100,000 people that attended the demonstration, then you know a "communist agent" according to the FBI, which still has such records. Obviously, President Lyndon Johnson, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and FBI Director J. Edjar Hoover, did not believe that "freedom of speech" per the First Admendment of the United States Constitution, applied to anti-war demonstrators but did apply to pro-war demonstrators.

And that was Democracy in the United States and southern Viet-Nam during 1967. The U.S. Army in Viet-Nam practiced the same sort of Democracy but without the hypocrisy. U.S. military commanders simply told combat soldiers: "Your's is not to question why, your's is but to do or die.
