Operation Paperclip scientist Wernher von Braun’s former assistant Carol Rosin says that von Braun described the lies they were planning on telling us.

Carol Rosin and Wernher von Braun The enemy at first he said, the enemy against whom we're going to build a space based weapons system . . considered the enemy ... then terrorists would be identified and that was soon to follow. . . then we were going to identify third world crazies, we now call them nations of concern. . against asteroids we're going to build space based weapons. First the Russians are going to be the next enemy then asteroids. And the funniest one of all, was against what he called aliens, extraterrestrials, that would be the final card. And over, and over, and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving his speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. 'And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We're going to have to build space based weapons against aliens,' and all of it, he said, is a lie.

"WE'LL KNOW OUR DISINFORMATION PROGRAM IS COMPLETE WHEN EVERYTHING THE US PUBLIC BELIEVES IS FALSE."  CIA DIRECTOR, WILLIAM J. CASEY, 1981

"WE'LL KNOW OUR DISINFORMATION PROGRAM IS COMPLETE WHEN EVERYTHING THE US PUBLIC BELIEVES IS FALSE."
CIA DIRECTOR, WILLIAM J. CASEY, 1981

"I am the source for this quote, which was indeed said by CIA Director William Casey at an early February 1981 meeting of the newly elected President Reagan with his new cabinet secretaries to report to him on what they had learned about their agencies in the first couple of weeks of the administration. The meeting was in the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House, not far from the Cabinet Room. I was present at the meeting as Assistant to the chief domestic policy adviser to the President. Casey first told Reagan that he had been astonished to discover that over 80 percent of the 'intelligence' that the analysis side of the CIA produced was based on open public sources like newspapers and magazines. As he did to all the other secretaries of their departments and agencies, Reagan asked what he saw as his goal as director for the CIA, to which he replied with this quote, which I recorded in my notes of the meeting as he said it. Shortly thereafter I told Senior White House correspondent Sarah McClendon, who was a close friend and colleague, who in turn made it public." Barbara Honegger
