November 21st, 2019 Maxwell's ARMZ + Uranium One? Rod Fisk of Transport Logistics Didn’t Like It.
Was Rodney Fisk South African Intelligence? Did he come through Marc Rich's National Intelligence Agency in Fort Lauderdale? Did Bob Maxwell have Jeff Epstein fly operatives in an out of Fort Lauderdale airport as cargo workers and mechanics.
In 1973, a certain Jack Holcomb founded, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) as a replacement for the IPA. The CIA was in on it from the beginning, says Richard Rashke. It was a top-secret operation with CIA connections. Howard Osborn, the CIA Director of Security, was present when Holcomb and his colleague, Leo Goodwin Jr., drew up the plans. The local Florida police were informed of the NIA’s CIA connections – and agreed to co-operate in any way they could.
The National Intelligence Agency was housed in a separate wing of the Audio Intelligence Devices
Corporation (AID), another CIA “asset”, next to the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, where AID/NIA owned two heliports and a private airstrip long enough to land a 727 aircraft. AID paid the rent. Goodwin, and his foundation, put more than three million dollars into the project.
According to Richard Rashke, the Audio Intelligence Devices Corporation became the largest private company to design and sell high-grade wiretapping, bugging, tracking and other surveillance equipment in the United States.
The NIA offered two-week courses on the state-of-the-art in electronic surveillance. The students, who stayed at the Tradewinds Hotel owned by Goodwin, were taught how to bug a room, and tap a phone, in five minutes in the NIA’s secret classroom containing a fully-equipped telephone “city” with nearly every kind of indoor and outdoor terminal used by telephone companies. Potential CIA agents, double agents and informants were recruited at the NIA, and sent to Andros for more sophisticated training, according to Rashke in his book, The Killing of Karen Silkwood.
Security was tight. There were armed guards at the building and the airstrip, television cameras, and roving patrols who watched the roads around the building. CIA-owned airlines, like Air America, used the airstrip; and there were 13 flights a day to and from Andros. A private investigator, William Taylor, secretly spent four days snooping, having been dropped by helicopter, into the island’s interior jungle areas. He said he saw that Andros was full of underground facilities. The bases and jungle were, he claimed, used for specialised training of some kind. He also said that the CIA and British intelligence had command posts on Andros Island. Not surprisingly, the CIA agent, Lester K. Coleman, who was sent to the Bahamas to “dish the dirt” on Lynden Pindling, was later loaned to the National Intelligence Agency at Fort Lauderdale, as Director of Video Operations, at the time housed on the premises of Technos International, also known as AID.
In October 2012, Steve Shannon of Mississauga, Ontario, told me that a guy he recently met, said that in 1988 he sailed a 35-foot yacht from Canada to the Bahamas. All you could see near Andros, presumably from the sea, he continued, were black helicopters with no markings. He added that the island was a base for drug smuggling. He thought, at that time, it was also a CIA base. Shannon felt that the U.S. authorities may have put out the story of a drug smugglers’ hang-out to keep people away from Andros Island. It always was notorious for smuggling, however. But not just Andros.
