Reply #9: Clancy is just saying the truth - about a practice that goes back to 40's [View All]

In the 50's the movement of monies that financed Pakistan's Atomic Bomb was done through the Atom's for Peace Program - and in that budget item were funds for the CIA

How do I know - well the guy who ran it - Under Sec of Comerce Olmstead was my boss in the late 70's to early 80's - and good buddy of the Reagan crowd - and he said this was true.

So "off budget" refers to the practice of skiming money from budget lines that the committees were told not to audit - the amount authorized was spent - move on.

These monies went into CIA controlled accounts and controlled companies. I do not believe their is any gov agency that can tell you how much off-shore monies the CIA has put away, or which companies are CIA fronts. The Congress's intel committee folks are told a number and the names of said companies - and they are told to believe it - but there is no checking.

So off the books really means off the books. Do you trust your CIA?
