John B. Wells was joined by former CIA contract pilot Robert 'Tosh' Plumlee, who talked about his involvement in clandestine Agency flights and activities. Plumlee detailed how he got his start in specialized operations as a new Army recruit at Fort Bliss, Texas in 1954, noting that he received additional training in Nags Head, North Carolina. Plumlee said he worked as an aircraft mechanic after his stint in the military, later learned to fly on the GI Bill, and began transporting weapons into Pre-Castro Cuba on planes that belonged to CIA cutout companies. The undercover gun-running operations, which were run out of the Pentagon with CIA logistical support, not only supplied both sides of the Cuban Revolution (Castro and Batista) but also escalated the conflict there, he explained.
Plumlee claimed to have been engaged in other secret operations throughout the sixties. After a brief retirement to 'The Farm' he was reactivated as an undercover operative for the federal government during the Drug War. According to Plumlee, guns were transported into South America to support insurgents there and drugs brought back to finance the operation. 'From '78 to '83 I flew tons of cocaine into this country and hundreds of guns into Central America through Mexico,' he revealed. Plumlee spoke about murder of Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena by Caro Quintero and how it was related to the illegal gun-running operations sanctioned by the U.S. government. 'The whole thing was arms not dope. Dope was a diversion,' he said.
- Other allegations of similar operations have attached to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2004 Madrid train bombings, and the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident. 173 The rise of ISIS gave rise to conspiracy theories that it had been created by the US, CIA, Mossad, or Hillary Clinton.
- In July 2013, declassified documents from the CIA acknowledged the existence of Area 51 for the first time, and confirmed that the top-secret site was used to test a variety of spy planes.

Secrets Of The Cia
So while the FBI’s codenames are about promoting their operations and CIA’s are about disguising them, the Secret Service’s — which are actually assigned by the White House Communications Agency — serve no practical purpose whatsoever. That said, long ago, they used to be about disguising the activities of the president.
