capitol—inexplicably reversed itself and began publishing a lengthy and
glowing seven-part series hailing Vice President Dan Quayle. Obviously
this seems to be a confirmation of Victor Ostrovsky's claim that
preparations were being made in the United States to make a Dan Quayle
presidency palatable.
The Post's unusual flip-flop was made all the more potent when the
news arrived that the president had been stricken. Quayle, evidently, already
had the Establishment's support if he had been unexpectedly thrust into the
presidency. Oddly, prior to the Post's turn-about, the Washington daily had
been one of Quayle's most persistent critics. However, something quite
alarming also took place during that eventful week.
A SECURITY BREACH
For two days, during President George Bush's visit in Seoul, South
Korea, top-secret information regarding the president's personal
arrangements was inexplicably made available to the public. Incredibly
enough, this was during a period when terrorist alert status was already high.
Security experts believed that if potential presidential assassins had such
action in mind, the security breach would have assisted them tremendously.
According to Robert Snow, a spokesman for the Secret Service, "It wouldn't
be stretching it" 15 to suggest that the security lapse could have put Bush in
danger. Blame for the lapse in security was laid at the hands of the U.S.
Information Service (USIS), a branch of the State Department. For their
own part, officials at the State Department were unable to provide an
explanation of the bizarre security breach. The White House refused to
comment.
The USIS published a list of the names and hotel room numbers of the
president's traveling party, which numbered 471 people. (The fact that the
president was staying at the U.S. Ambassador's residence was part of the
information revealed.) Included on the list were the names and room
numbers of 122 Secret Service agents, eight Marine guards, four presidential
stewards and six military aides. Also revealed were security control room
locations in the hotel where the president was staying as well as the names
of the 10 Secret Service agents heading security at the various locations that
the president visited while in Korea. The room assignments of top
administration officials accompanying the president, as well as those of the
thirteen corporate executives along for the trip were also published. 16
This incredible revelation caused suspicion that perhaps there were those
in positions of power who may not necessarily have been concerned for the
president's safety. The tentacles of Israel's Mossad do reach far and wide—
even into the depths of the U.S. State Department. Was this breach of
security a first step in an assassination attempt—perhaps one to be carried out
by some obscure Korean terrorist group acting as a "false flag" for the
Mossad?
Retired Air Force Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, himself an acknowledged
authority on covert operations—including assassination planning—says that
