The United States Marine Corps (USMC) Major (Ret.) John R. Stockwell, former CIA case officer and former CIA Angola Station Chief who served 12 years in CIA introduces the documentary made about him by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Saul Landau. The movie has been shown in several film festivals around the world and on TV in many countries; but the U.S. networks, including PBS, refused to show it. Consequently, our showing provides its American premiere. Next, we look at segments of three weeks' coverage by the TV networks of the situation concerning the Russian troops in Cuba, interspersed with John's comments. Finally, John gives his evaluation of Cuba, having recently visited there three times, and his arguments against the CIA. The program was designated "tonight's highlight" by the Austin American-Statesman and evoked much discussion. During his career in CIA -- John was also high ranking member of United States National Security Council (NSC).
John R. Stockwell served 7 tours of duties in: Ivory Coast (1966-1967), Zaire (1967-1969), Burundi (1969-1972), Vietnam (1973-1975), Angola (1975-1976).
Documentary Copyright 1978
Recorded October, 1979......... you get to see the documentary and discussion afterwords
THE PRAETORIAN GUARD: John ''Bob'' R. Stockwell - former CIA case officer (1979)
Now the next video is about GHW Bush and was recorded right before the election and don't forget this guy was there when Bush was the CIA director. You notice he talks about the ugly illegal growth of the secret national security state way back in 88?

As the film points out, most of this shit the CIA gets involved with doesn't serve the interests of the nation at all. I came to that conclusion independently years ago. If the CIA and the NSA never drew another breath the nation would be far better off for it.
