The cold six thousand

BLUE RABBIT

_DOCUMENT INSERT_: 2/20/65. Internal memorandum. Topic: WHITE-HATE/OPERATION BLACK RABBIT. To: DIRECTOR. From: BLUE RABBIT. Marked: "Stage-1 Covert"/"Eyes Only"/"Read and Burn."

Sir,

My first summary report on the WHITE-HATE arm of OBR.

1 – I have compiled, with the help of FATHER RABBIT's aides, a list of potentially dissident Klansmen now at loose ends since FATHER RABBIT dissolved his previously funded informant Klan groups in 12/64. (See Addendum #A for list of said Klansmen.) (Note: Per Stage-1 guidelines, please read and burn said addendum. I have retained an original copy, per guidelines.)

Also, FATHER RABBIT has supplied (see Addendum #B/read burn) a 14,000 name list of white male hate-pamphlet subscribers in Louisiana and Mississippi, all devotees of specific segregationist/anti-Negro tract series distributed by FATHER RABBIT's organization. A criminal records cross-check of these subscribers has yielded the names of 921 men with misdemeanor and felony arrests and memberships in extreme right-wing organizations.

2 – My plan would be to have FATHER RABBIT solicit these men by mail, under an "anonymous patriot" letterhead, and refer them by mail to WILD RABBIT, upon his (5/65) release from the U.S. Army. WILD RABBIT would assess the mail he has received, contact the most promising prospects and build the nucleus of his new Klan group on that basis. He will establish boundaries as to what and what not his recruits can do, and gather information on their previous hate-group associations. WILD RABBIT will also define their future informant duties.

3 – CRUSADER RABBIT and WHITE RABBIT have mentioned the proposed "Second Freedom Summer" agitation campaign in Mississippi and planned (6/65) agitation in and around Bogalusa, Louisiana. WILD RABBIT wants to exploit these situations, and I believe that if he delivers a properly restrained but somehow flamboyant show of force in that region at that time, he will be able to mobilize a sizable number of recruits resultant. To further induce subservience in his recruits, WILD RABBIT will supply them with low-quality rifles and sidearms purchased by his friend CHARLES "CHUCK" ROGERS (white male/age 43), a covert CIA contract employee currently serving with WILD RABBIT in Vietnam. ROGERS has extensive gun connections among rightist Cuban exile groups in the Gulf Coast region.

4 – WILD RABBIT has also established a "Hate-Leaflet Mail Ministry" among convicts and ex-convicts he knew while working as a Missouri state prison guard, and plans to recruit from the "eager beaver" parolees who contact him upon their release. I believe that this is also a viable recruiting approach.

In conclusion:

I believe that we are theoretically operational as of this (2/20/65) date. Please respond as your schedule allows.

Respectfully,

_DOCUMENT INSERT_: 3/1/65. Internal memorandum. Topic: OPERATION BLACK RABBIT/2/2O/68 MEMO. To: BLUE RABBIT. From: DIRECTOR. Marked: "Stage-1 Covert"/"Eyes Only"/"Read and Burn."

Consider the proposed measures described in your 2/20/65 memo approved in full. Cold funds to follow. You may share information on a need-to-know basis with FATHER RABBIT and WHITE PLABBIT. Given his suspect ideology, do not share any WHITE-HATE information or in any way contact CRUSADER RABBIT, unless so directed.

_DOCUMENT INSERT_: 3/8/65. Pouch communiquй. To: John Stanton. From: Pete Bondurant. Marked: "Hand Pouch Deliver Only"/ "Destroy Upon Reading."

We're operational on both ends now. Here's the summary you asked for.

It's all running smooth. A) – Milt Chargin greased cops working the Records Divisions of the Vegas PD Clark County Sheriff's got a list of all the previously busted colored junkies in West Vegas.

B) – I recruited 4 expendable colored pushers to work the bottom-rung distribution in West LV. They've got menial casino jobs 8e were happy to get the gigs. I gave them copies of the prey. ment'd junkie list had them supply the junkies with free pops taken from our 1st stateside shipment of 1/9/65. The "free samples" got them anxious for more. I told my 4 guys to push "free tastes" on anybody who asked, colored only. They got a lot of takers we got a lot of steady "Clients" (Milt C.'s word, not mine).

C) – I lean on the 4 guys periodically up to now I'm convinced that they (1) haven't stolen kadre merchandise; (2) haven't sold to non-Negro clients; (3) haven't snitched off kadre or Tiger Kab personnel; (4) haven't bragged to their lowlife pals implicated kadre or Tiger Kab personnel will not (5) do so if they get popped, which is unlikely, because (6) Milt has greased the LVPD Sheriff's Narco squads has secured a hands-off policy, if any 1 of the 4 is popped, the plan is to bail them out clip them before they talk too much.

So, (7), everything is buffered. Tiger drivers deliver the merchandise to drop points the pushers pick it up, distribute it funnel the money back the same way, The drivers are all solid pros will not talk if busted. On his one stateside run, Wayne periodically spot-tailed the pushers determined that they weren't skimming or fucking up other ways. Wayne's got an evil reputation on the west side it keeps the pushers on a tight leash.

D) – As you know, Wayne's made one rotation from Saigon sent the 2nd shipment (4 ibs) stateside on 3/2/65. Rogers, Relyea, Mesplede, Guery Elorde remain in Laos oversee the M-base production at Tiger Kamp (while you the other guys who concocted this whole thing roam around S.E. Asia puffing your clandestine shit). The production level at Tiger Kamp remains high the January-February harvest beat the chemists' estimates. Tran's methedrine ran out (mixed blessing-it killed 3 slaves) we had a slow week (late Feb.) while the slaves smoked heavy amounts of "0" rode out withdrawals. We've got to burn the fields in April to prepare the soil for the fall planting, but we've got enough backstock of M-base to see us through to the next harvest, because the 3 refineries were overstocked when we raided consolidated last November. So far, my rubber-bullet policy is working, because the ex-ARVNs ex-Congs continue to feud. Mesplede is staging weekly Cong-ARVN boxing matches (slave cornermen referees) which helps blow off steam boosts morale.

E) – You were right about the "cleanup." The Can Lao took out the den below the lab ( supposedly 600 others) but now that the initial troop arrival bullshit is over, things are back to normal. None of Chuck's Saravan-to-Saigon merchandise flights have been messed with at either end Customs has not checked any of his cargoes. The den below the lab the Go-Go have reopened Wayne still tests dosage levels on the resident heads. Tran said Khanh's stopped making anti-dope statements everyone in Saigon seems distracted by the troops coming in the way the war is flaring up. You were right, it feels like the buildup is giving us added operational cover.

F) – The pipeline's running A-OK. So far, no Customs checks glitches flying out of Tan Son Nhut no trouble at Neffis. My friend Littell surveilled the 1/9/65 shipment from Nellis to the Agency drop-off point thru to the final "donation" point at the Nevada Guard Armory. Milt C. has been transporting the merchandise from the drop-point to Tiger Kab. It's a foolproof system the Guard is thrilled with Mr. Hughes' "donations."

G) – Some unexpected expenses came up on Milt's end, but aside from that, we're $182,000 up from our Vegas profits on the 1/9 batch 3/2 batch so far. I'm ready to rotate Chuck, Laurent Flash stateside have them scout exile camps, assess the troops get going on an arms conduit to the ones they choose. Bob Relyea leaves the Army to work for the Feds in May, he'll be situated near the Gulf. He'll utilize his gun connections assist Chuck, Laurent Flash in funneling to the exiles.

That's it. I'm anxious to move on the Cuban end. Let's put all this caution budgetary constraint shit aside get going.

Viva la Causa!
