There is No Higher Calling or Honor Than to Become the Face and Voice for the Dead Stratfor e-mails: One woman’s fight for peace: Mary Pullen Hughes Interview: Interview with Mary Pullen Hughes
The US Government Sent an Assassin for Me

Stratfor
e-mails released by WikiLeaks regarding 9-11, the Iraq invasion and other
events include the name Mary Jo Pullen Hughes, who was being tried for
telephone harassment due to the volume of her phone calls to high-level
American officials. She has been battling for the truth to be told about
Vietnam POWs and has been battling for their rights. Ms. Hughes claims her
efforts delayed the invasion of Iraq, something that was pre-planned, by 7
months. The VOR’s John Robles decided to track her down and ask her about
what she says is persecution for trying to get to the truth.
Hello!
This is John Robles, I’m speaking with Mary Jo Pullen Hughes. She was the
subject of several Stratfor emails that were released by WikiLeaks and is a
longtime whistleblower.
Robles: Hello Mary! How are you?
I’m doing
just fine John, thank you for calling.
Robles: Thanks for agreeing to speak with me. I understand that the
persecution of yourself by the US Government is continuing and it has gone
to new levels as a whistleblower. Can you tell our listeners a little bit
about your case and what is going on?
Hughes: Well, I had asked for years, starting as far back as 1988, to have
the question of the late return of POWs looked into by my Government, when
John Kerry, Senator John Kerry and Senator Bob Smith from New Hampshire were
co-chairs at the POW\MIA Senate Select Committee.
In real
time with Mr. Kerry now being the Secretary of State this implicates him in
the highest of crimes when the truth wasn’t told about men brought home. I
have documented this material now almost for 25 years.
Recently I
was arrested in 2009 for telephone harassment. I filed a federal lawsuit in
US District Court in Portland, Oregon. And as of last Friday the judge has
determined that the defendants in the case were justified in arresting me
and therefore the federal lawsuit is being dismissed.
The
nightmare of this is that not only has the Legislative Branch of my
government has been proven to be broken, but the Executive Branch now, with
the inclusion of John Kerry and John Brennan, as CIA Director who worked for
Buzzy Krongard and Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense who had access to
this material pre-September 11, and that’s all outlined in this memo how the
POW issue ties into September 11th, now proves that the Executive Branch of
my Government is taken and broken and the Judicial Branch of my Government
is totally broken now too.
Robles: Can you tell us about that connection between the POW issue and
September 11 very quick?
Hughes: The POW question tie into September 11 is that after 13 years of my
saying; “Please talk and tell”, including a time in Canada on a political
asylum claim. Men with Black Operations/Covert Ops backgrounds in this
country, silenced on behalf of the power elite, after 14 years, not
addressing the question, went silence and allowed the attacks to happen.
And I will
tell you John, in 1984, an active duty military man was sent to assassinate
me in Denver, Colorado.
I recently
tracked down his son who confirmed to me that the man, his father, is still
alive and well. I know where to find the man who my Government said: “Come
and kill her”. This isn’t funny when I personally dealt with a man who was
tasked by somebody in my Government and was sent to assassinate me.
Initially
in the 70s, I was married to someone who was onboard of fast attack nuclear
submarine in the 70s, the USS Flying Fish out of Norfolk, Virginia, who had
a TS SBI5 because he was a radioman, he had Crypto Access.
I did
active duty service for just over four years, late 70s early 80s, working
with F-15 pilots, fairly new to F-15 at Langley Air Force Base. And then I
was at Nellis AFB.
I had a
husband at the time who worked in Area 51 in the early 80s on the Stealth
Fighter Project. And as a military wife I was down in Panama, during the
Grenada invasion.
I’ve had
special access not only personally, but through other people to a community
of men who are Delta, Seal, Marine, Recon(ers), etc who understand that
policies and procedures, have misused and abused them for decades going back
to Vietnam.
Reminder
Robles: I
know there are a lot of secret connections between the Air Force and 9-11.
Can you tell us about anything you know?
Hughes: Silence was met with silence. What really bands everything I’ve just
done a report on the WACs. I talked to Andrew Bacevich today, sent him
everything that I have sent to you.
And one
thing they keep getting wrong after 10 years today when they went into Iraq,
is that there was a preemption that was stopped at end of August 2002.
I
personally had put together the human intelligence work in Washington DC
that they had a large constituency of our military in the country of Eritrea
pre-emptively to go to strike against Iraq at the end of August 2002.
By going
to the Belarus Embassy and sharing that information with the military
attaché at Belarus and calling the French and Germans and telling the
Iraqis. We were able, as a knowledgeable group of people, to make people
leave Eritrea and come home. And it was seven months later before we went
in.
Now that
we have spent, as a nation, $2.2 trillion and about 200,000 dead. The real
truth is: we need to know that this preemption was going and it was stopped.
No men
know, but unfortunately a decade later we are still not telling the truth.
Much like with the Gulf Tonkin. We’re not saying that it was faked until 35
years later. We can’t speak 35 year later to tell the truth.
Robles: You said you organized the HUMIT, the human intelligence. Can you
give us a couple more details about that?
Hughes: By
the time I put human intelligence together the Belarus Government, the
French, Germans, Iraqis, other people were able to confirm that our military
was in Eritrea. But I had put it together and then I share, I mean I have
always been somebody who understands that this isn’t about Communism,
Democracy, Republican, Democrat, Muslim, Jew or Christian. This is about:
we’ve got to do better to stop this constant warfare.
It is like
with Syria and North Korea. Yes, we cannot keep having people in positions
with power and money destabilizing parts of the world where we’ve got the
whole global community at high risk.
Robles: Can you tell us a little bit about what the US Government has done
to you personally?
Hughes: I
have two senators, one is on the Senate Intelligence Committee Ron Wyden who
I have spoken with personally, asked his office for help, with Jeff Merkley
and his office, who I’ve asked for help and talked to him.
And Earl
Blumenauer as my congressman. I’m a registered Democrat. I have three
congressional members who are Democrats and who will do nothing to speak
with me or deal with me. I have been marginalized by my Government.
Now, when
my Government works after they sent someone to assassinate me, then
marginalize me by lying about a DNA provable mental illness, also now throw
out a federal lawsuit and tell the world that it was terribly okay for
people to come and arrest me for telephone harassment when I was simply
going to Susan Rice our Ambassador to the UN, then Secretary of Defense
Gates and Eric
Holder to say, look, we have a problem.
I deal
with staff under them, I understand working in the chain of command from the
bottom up. But then when you finally have to go to the persons themselves
directly, I go to them because I know this is a serious business.
This isn’t
about me, this is about all sorts of people at this point who have been hurt
in this country, American Service Personnel who know the truth but can’t say
it.
One Brave Woman's Fight for Truth and Justice Stratfor e-mails: One woman’s fight for peace: Mary Pullen Hughes Interview: Interview with Mary Pullen Hughes Updated: September 14, 2012 Added part of a letter from Mary, in which she clarified some of the statements I made. Stratfor e-mails deleted by CIA WikiLeaks:
http://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/5520_re-intelligence-update-terrorist-attack-against-the-united.html The Stratfor e-mails released by Wikileaks contain references and material regarding a lady who appears to be on a mission of global significance; to stop wars and prevent people from dying in US wars of aggression. Her methods are unusual but perhaps effective. This is part of an investigative report on the subject. The Stratfor e-mails, released by the site Wikileaks, contain many references to an individual named Mary Pullen Huges. The reason her name caught my eye was because of some of the claims she makes in her e-mails and her access to the home phone numbers, cell phone numbers and addresses of very influential and top government officials. According to press reports and open source information available on-line Miss Pullen Hughes has made over 75,000 phone calls to U.S. Government officials over the last 20 years. In the Stratfor e-mails there is a message from Solomon Foshko to Fred Burton where Mr. Foshko calls Miss Pullen Huges a “spook”, meaning an intelligence operative, and states that Mr. Burton should be able to determine this fact. One might ascertain that Mr. Burton has close connections to the CIA or the intelligence community, which means Stratfor is much more than it seems. In the e-mails Ms. Pullen Hughes speaks openly about a US invasion of Venezuela and of many other things including POWs, Israel attacking Iran and the Iraq war, some of the things she says sound far-fetched but others sound as if she has inside information. From what I was able to learn over the internet was that Miss Pullen Hughes has been engaged in a campaign to prevent a global war. Something I think we can all support, and her efforts, in particular with US POWs even brought about a US Senate investigation. Miss Pullen Hughes also has access to phone numbers and the personal contact information of almost any official she apparently wants, including top CIA officials. According one of the Stratfor e-mails Miss Pullen Hughes takes on an issue or what she feels to be intelligence and then calls people like Admiral Mike Mullen and “foreign” governments and then sends details of her contact to everyone she can. She stated in one e-mail that she has been, “… sharing sensitive and classified knowledge with foreign governments for years to save American lives.” In 2006 she sent an e-mail to Alberto R. Gonzales the then Attorney General of the United States and asked to be arrested because she had: “… communicated classified intelligence and military troop movements to foreign governments.” I asked her about these claims and she told me she had never had a top secret clearance or access to secret information. Although she claims to have worked for the Air Force in a position requiring secret clearance and her ex-husband worked at Area 51. So did she or not have access? Among her claims Miss Pullen Hughes says she delayed the invasion of Iraq for approximately half a year, she also says that the “Black Ops Community” allowed 9-11 to happen. Her extensive claims against what she calls the “Black Ops Community” range from complete failure to protect US interests and citizens to mismanagement to the outright assassination of hundreds of POWs, in particular those involved in what she calls “Operation Desert One”. Facts she claims to have discovered regarding US troop build ups in Eritrea were behind her claim that the invasion of Iraq was delayed because of this. She claims to have informed foreign governments of the fact including the Military Attache from the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus Colonel Aleksandr V. Korbut. In another e-mail she writes, “…I understand that this coming weekend would be the last window of opportunity until next year for Israel to preemptively attack Iran with the support of the US. It is also very possible that the US would use this time frame to attack Venezuela and remove Mr. Chavez.” I was interested mainly in finding out what she knew of an attack on Venezuela to remove President Chavez and control their oil so I decided to call Miss Pullen Hughes myself and ask her. She does not give interviews she said but agreed to speak with me. We began our conversation with her informing me that she had called the FBI and told them that she was in contact with a Russian journalist. I then spoke to her for 45 minutes and she had a lot to say, hardly allowing me to get a word in edgewise. Whether or not her information is classified or not one thing was clear, she is a woman with a mission, and that mission appears to be preventing more war.
E-Mails from Mary Jo Pullen Hughes regarding this article that she asked me to publish.
From: maryJo pullen-hughes [maryjopullen@hotmail.com] John,
From: maryJo
pullen-hughes [maryjopullen@hotmail.com] John, There were a couple of things in your written piece that I need to clarify/correct for the record. Please see below. "I asked her about these claims and she told me she had never had a top secret clearance or access to secret information. Although she claims to have worked for the Air Force in a position requiring secret clearance and her ex-husband worked at Area 51. So did she or not have access?" I never held a clearance on active duty in the US Air Force higher than Secret and was only PRP (Personal Reliability Program) certified when I was working with the Security Police at Area II because there "may" have been nuclear weapons stored there. While working for F-15 pilots at the 27 Tactical Fighter Squadron, Langley AFB, VA, I was handling and typing Secret reports. The majority of my classified knowledge that I have shared over the years came after I left the US Air Force and has been done the "old fashioned way." I actually speak with numerous people; some who are military, lawyers, and government officials as well a from foreign governments. It is called doing human intelligence work and something that has been lost in today's focus on technology. Yes, I have been exposed to much more human intelligence than an average American citizen because of where I have been and who I have known. I have a "do ask, do tell" policy in sharing human intelligence and I am always amazed how much people are willing to share when asked or given the ability to confirm a piece of knowledge/intelligence I have already put together. i.e., the information about American military in Eritrea for a preemptive strike against Iraq at the end of August 2002. I spoke with American Jews who knew Israel was preparing for our attack by preparing Israelis if there was a retaliatory strike against Israel. Former citizens of Eritrea who lived and worked in Washington, D.C. and still had family ties to Eritrea where aware the US military was there. A midshipman at Annapolis in November 2003 2002 confirmed he knew because his Navy father was working intelligence in the region had spoken to him about the military being in Eritrea. A retired senior enlisted Marine as recently as last year confirmed he was sending fellow Marines to Eritrea. It is like putting together a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle over decades but in the end all the pieces fit and the tapestry of truth is told individual by individual as the stories are consistent year after year. What I do is work the puzzle pieces (tidbits of individual truth) and put them together until there is irrefutable evidence that such and allegation is now a reality. What no one seems to do any more is that kind of intelligence work or even go back and see if what I have done is real. And we wonder why a decade of war with Iraq, that now has been publicly stated that it was predicated on false intel, and no one is being held accountable for the untold dead, wounded, disruption of lives - both American and Iraqi - it's as if the world does not understand that the past has to be cleaned up with truth, we have to learn from such cleaning up, or we are doomed to repeat and repeat and repeat. All hope is lost if this is how we choose to go forward. ". . . and her efforts, in particular with US POWs even brought about a US Senate investigation." This part of the statement is not accurate. As I said in my interview, once the Helms/Grassley investigation began, I contacted them with what I knew about a return of POWs in 1984-1985. It was not wanted or worked with by them and was again rebuffed by the special committee in 1992. However, it is on the record that I tried before other more tragic consequences followed because the truth was not told. Please reference the materials I sent you for the "fleshed out" part of this. Her extensive claims against what she calls the “Black Ops Community” range from complete failure to protect US interests and citizens to mismanagement to the outright assassination of hundreds of POWs, in particular those involved in what she calls “Operation Desert One”. Only roughly 70 of the remaining POWs that were left alive in 1996 were killed in VA hospitals to keep the secret of their return. The other approximately 200 had died over time from when they were returned in 1984-1985. I do not know the code name for this operations but if there was a reference to the failed Desert One operation that would be separate and apart from the POW matter. The failed Desert One operation was the attempt to rescue Americans held hostage in Iran at the tail end of Mr. Carter's presidency. Please again refer to the Memorandum for accuracy on this issue. " . . . informed foreign governments of the fact including the Military Attache from the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus Colonel Aleksandr V. Korbut." Colonel Korbut and I met at the Belarus Embassy before I knew of US military in Eritrea. I had shared my work on the POW issue with him. It was the next Military Attache that came on after him who I met with at the Belarus Embassy and told him what I knew about the US planning to preemptively attach Iraq at the end of August 2002. It was only after meeting with Colonel Korbut, that I figured out months later with the close connection between Russia and Belarus and that I was in all probability vetted as to credibility or I would not have be cordially received repeatedly at the Embassy for coffee, cookies and conversation or that my telephone calls were taken. "I then spoke to her for 45 minutes and she had a lot to say, hardly allowing me to get a word in edgewise." I want to thank you for taking more time with me than you had planned. It is incredibly frustrating for me to have to compact in some coherent way 24 years of work. I apologize that I was long winded but I do want you to know that if you would like to speak with me again or as questions via email, I am open to keeping the conversation going. Best regards, Mary Jo Pullen-Hughes
