(excerpted from a larger article)

John Whitehead is the benefactor to "The Whitehead Institute" (NIH affiliated biological research) of Cambridge, Massechusetts. He is also Chief Executive and Chairman of TDS Health Care Systems Corporation, of Atlanta, Georgia, a medical information systems company which relies heavily on government contracts. My employer of seven years. TDS was spun off in 1985 after a leveraged buy-out of Revlon by Pantry Pride, a company owned by Ron Perleman, who was later paid by Gillette to leave the beard shaving' company alone. Michael Milken's junk bonds were used to create Pantry Pride. Perleman's activiies were published in a recent magazine article (Spy, June, 1993, page 44, ). John Whitehead's comments that follow were transcribed from our telephone interview of August 12, 1993: "...The Pantry Pride executives -- some of them tended to be ex government people, with good government connections ...whether these were used for untoward purposes or not, I have no idea.

... I wanted to get some contact, I don't remember the specifics but I needed to talk to somebody in the government or was going after a government contract. What ever it was they made a couple of phone calls and opened some doors for me. It never came to anything; I don't remember what it was now. But they seemed to be good guys, they were ex-government guys and I'm sure Perleman hired them with the view of having some input towad, you know, you have to get permission when you merge companies and so forth, and it's nice to have friends in high places so that you can give them a call and say: Gee, you know, you ought to approve this one.' I don't know that that's what he did, but I guess that's why he liked those government guys around."

Many investigations into CIA covert activies lead toward operations which were begun at Stanford University. Period pieces about the Iran/Contra affair (Newsweek 2-9-87 and 3-9-87) detail the operations of Richard Secord and Albert Hakim. Hakim ran Stanford Technology in California. Later he formed Stanford Technology Trading Group with General Secord (and Oliver North). The following comes from "Casey", by Joseph Persico, Viking Penguin, 1990 (page 494): "Secord made a soft landing after he left the Air Force. Thirteen days before his retirement became official, he had gone into business with Albert Hakim, who ran a company called Stanford Technology Trading Group International. Hakim was Iranian born, now an American citizen who had gotten out of Iran two steps ahead of the Shah. ... He had continued to prosper selling arms and security systems all over the world. One of his customers had been the U.S. Congress, which bought equipment from Hakim to secure its hearing rooms."

TDS Health Care Systems, shared offices in the mid and late 1980s with Stanford Research (SRI). This SRI office later became a Stanford Technology annex (circa 1986). The following is excerpted from Forbes Magazine, June, 1992 (pages 54, 55): "...Although SRI [Stanford Research] is a nonprofit organization (it was spun off from Stanford University in 1970 when students protested about its military contracts) profits are crucial to its survival. ...SRI's reputation has been dogged by its research in para psychology, which began in the 1970s and continued for a decade. It started with two physicists, Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff, who gained noteriety for trying to verify the spoon-bending powers of psychic Uri Geller." Of course the Stanford Research investigations in parapsychology went far beyond spoon bending. They were heavily involved in directed enegy mind control. This activity was written in the published work of mind control victim Martti Koski, stated to this writer by Company insiders, and experienced by this writer first hand.

Much of the TDS operations (including the President's office) were moved to a buiiding which they shared with Stanford Research in late 1984. Soon after the move, Whitehead replaced William Seabrook as Preident. Shortiy thereafter Pantry Pride bought Revlon (with "Milken money"), and TDS was spun-off, marketed by John Whitehead, and bought by Whitehead by mid 1985. As an aside to this "Company Circle" John told me he is soliciting donations for "The Whitehead Institue" from Michael Milken.

Jonn Whitehead's first year as CEO saw TDS land its largest contract -- with British hospitals. I believe the Stanford Research office changed its name to Stanford Technology about this time. Also about this time, Bo Gritz said his work for the "Activity" (ISA) included flying Golden Triangle heroin into America, and getting paid with checks from Albert Hakim of Stanford Technology (Gritz interviewed by Roy Giampaoli 5-19-92).

I have a CBC documentary about Charles McVey, who was maiigned by the CIA for selling computers to Russia. While the video was being shot in Vancouver, McVey went fishing with someone our government wanted for drug smuggling: Agent Denby of MI6. Denby and McVey were not worried while they were together. The Agency couldn't go after them both without provocing an international incident (according to investigor Virginia McCullough).

Heroin is legal in England.
