In late 1996 / early 1997, Mike Levine and 3 fellow federal agents with CIA, FBI and DEA, came together for a broadcast, whose purpose was to warn America that those agencies whom we were trusting to protect us against terrorism were too inept and badly run to do the job - and that mainstream media's inability to sound the alarm and an easily manipulated congress, would ensure that 'horrific terrorist acts and the loss of our rights as citizens, would surely follow.' Hear those prophetic words now, because nothing has changed.

While the fidelity of the actual recording leaves much to be desired, the conversation is striking to say the least. It predicts much of what has since come to pass.

It is, in many respects, one of the most important broadcasts in the history of the show.

The three participants:

Dennis Dayle -- DEA
He began his federal career working for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in Chicago, a forerunner of the Drug Enforcement Administration, where he continued to distinguish himself. From the mid-1970s to 1980s, Dayle led investigations into international drug smuggling for the DEA, heading up Centac, which were chronicled in 1986 in a best-selling book, The Underground Empire: Where Crime and Governments Embrace, by James Mills.

Ralph McGehee -- CIA
a 25 year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency enlightened us with this following paragraph from his 1983 book "Deadly Deceits," which edifies a familiar pattern of deception that we have witnessed but we never understood. He stated the following about the CIA:

"The CIA is not an intelligence agency. In fact, it acts largely as an anti-intelligence agency, producing only that information wanted by policymakers to support their plans and suppressing information that does not support those plans. As the covert action arm of the president, the CIA uses disinformation, much of it aimed at the U.S. public, to mold opinion. It employs the gamut of disinformation techniques from forging documents to planting and discovering "communist" weapons caches. But the major weapon in its arsenal of disinformation is the "intelligence" it feeds to policymakers.

Instead of gathering genuine intelligence that could serve as the basis for reasonable policies, the CIA often ends up distorting reality, creating out of the whole cloth "intelligence" to justify policies that have already been decided upon. Policymakers leak this "intelligence" to the media to deceive us all and gain our support."

Wesley Swearingen -- FBI

Former FBI Special Agent from 1951 to 1977, M. Wesley Swearingen wrote "FBI Secrets". This important work traces his FBI career in "domestic counter-intelligence" from the time he signed on after World War II to his retirement and beyond.

Swearingen began his career doing "black bag jobs" on Communists in Chicago. In Kentucky and New York City, he spent years doing serious criminal investigations, which had been his goal in joining the FBI. But J. Edgar Hoover fixated on the threat posed by such groups as the Black Panthers and the Weathermen -- Swearingen is more explicit than most on the FBI's unconstitutional role in an important pattern of political corruption and illegal repression of U.S. Civil Rights in the 1960s, under his one-time mentor, Hoover.

He is interviewed in the documentary films All Power to the People! and The U.S. vs. John Lennon.

The episode runs 2.5 hours, and it's worth every minute.




It’s no secret that our government has basically turned rouge and has been painting everyday Americans as domestic terror threats, extremists, and anything else to make us look bad. Well back in 1997, three agents, each from a different federal law enforcement agency, came forward and issued a dire warning about our government and where it was headed.

The three agents, Dennis Dayle (DEA), Ralph McGehee (CIA), and Wesley Swearingen (FBI) joined Mark Levine for a broadcast to expose the evil that’s lurking within the very entities that are tasked with protecting us and our freedoms. According to them, the government had already painted we the people as the enemy, and was intentionally mismanaging the agencies designed to protect us from terrorism.

According to these agents, the people running the government realized how easily manipulated Congress is and that they didn’t have to worry about the mainstream media sounding any alarms about what was happening. They also were prophetic in saying that these factors would ensure that “horrific terrorist acts and the loss of our rights as citizens would surely follow.” Keep in mind this was four years prior to the 911 attacks.

As we watch our police forces become militarized and we see more instances of our government forcing its will around the world, how can we not believe what these men said is true? Nearly 20 years ago they gave us a glimpse into the future and nobody listened, now it’s happening all around us.

Having heard such a chilling message from that long ago and watching it all unfold before our very eyes now should be enough to scare anybody. There’s no doubt that those in our government are seeking to expand their power exponentially and will do whatever it takes to do so. All we can hope is that enough of us are prepared when it happens, otherwise things could get really ugly, really fast.
