Same source, EDITORIAL geen CIA corruption inc N ow that the political subversion of American and, Canadian university student movements by the “funnelling-in” of . vast financial subsidies by the U.S, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been uncovered, a new question arises, How many other public bodies in the sphere of labor, politics, govern- ment, our “free press” or other centres of Canadian life has this gigantic CIA conspiracy for political subversion and Pentagon “brain washing” penetrated? This is a grave question for all decent-minded Canadians, as it is for the peoples of other countries where it is well known the CIA operates, and which operations range all the way from bribery and corruption to the overthrow of legitimate govern- ments and the hired assassination of national leaders. Armed with billions of dollarsanda vast network of opera- tives, “fronts,” etc,, CIA expenditures have never, and are not now, itemized or revealed in any U.S. Congressional “State of the Nation” budgets, nor is itaccountableto any known auth- ority, Operating a vast “brain washing” and subversive machine, the CIA is dedicated to one prime objective: softening up its victims for the unchallenged acceptance of U,S, Im- Its subsidies to Canadian university student movements is now a confirmed fact.

Those small in numbers but highly vocal elements in Canada who peddle racist, anti-Semetic or anti-Communist literature, all done up in costly leaflets, pamphlets, journals, etc., undoubtedly draw their financial sustenance from the But working men and women and their sons and daughters in universities do not feel “embarrassed” at CIA disclosures, Their feeling is one of dismay — and anger, coupled with a demand that the government of Canada take action now — against CIA subversion and its Judas dollars, imported from the U,S,, de- Ma ePeta tate hete Mate Mate MeteteehePate”, Moe etate” .

But the blood and tears and suf- fering of Vietnam — andthepleas of world Christiandom for peace and an end to the wanton killing, make such statements a blas- phemy against all mankind — in- cluding America’s children and youth, For them the highest ‘des- tiny’ under Johnson is a military ‘pressgang’ army draft card — and the perspective of an un- marked grave in Vietnam. So let?s skip the LBJ “children and youth” bilge. However, just in case anyone gets the notion that LBJ’s*cred- ibility gap” has narrowed, thatis the “no man’s land” between brazen falsehood and obvious truth, how’s this one?

That sounds good — wereitnot for the fact that on Feb, 11, 1967, the government of the Peoples Re- public of China lodged its 422nd protest against U.S. violation of China’s air space and territorial waters ... Seems like in these “strayed across” incidents the U.S, de- fense department’s arithmetic is as faulty as it’s “explanations”.
