A Working Title, An Author, A Source

Although I started my search for the elusive book I
heard in that radio ad in Houston in 1983, it
wasn’t until about l993 that I came across a title
that seemed to work. The Immaculate Deception was
the title. It appeared on a book list put out by a
small publisher in Nevada that subsequently moved to
Montana. The Immaculate Deception: The Bush Crime
Family Exposed, by Brig. Gen. Russell S. Bowen
(ret.), (Carson City, Nevada: America West, 1991),
was written largely in l989, in the edition that was
being printed in l993. But it seems clear to me,
from the book's jacket description, from a few
passages in the book and from the Introduction by
its author, who is formerly an agent of the CIA,
that the book was originally started and written to
some extent by around l979. That seems highly
significant in light of that ad’s 1980 date.

Bowen says he first got interested in writing The
Immaculate Deception around 1977, after the death of
Chilean ambassador Letelier, possibly at CIA hands.
(ix). This was shortly before the retirement from
CIA of another “renegade” agent, Philip Agee,
who had also published some whistle-blower books
about the CIA. Agee had even made the conservative
Carter Administration angry with his threats to
destroy the Agency via publishing sensitive
material. It seems clear to me, based on the
coincidence of the dates of the two men’s attempts
to write about CIA, that each fed the other on some
level.

Agee had been sued by the Carter Administration.
However, the suit was still on-going at the time of
Carter’s defeat by Reagan. Carter’s suit in
behalf of the CIA was carried on under the
Reagan-Bush Administration by the new Secretary of
State, Alexander Haig, in a case that appeared
before the Supreme Court as Haig v. Agee.

Some interesting things happened to Alexander Haig.
After his “I’m in control here” statement, he
served the Reagan Administration as Secretary of
State for about a year. At the time he was
“fired,” he writes in his memoir, Caveat, he was
listening to his radio and heard he’d resigned. It
was the first he’d heard of it (Haig 310-17).

Previously, Haig had told the President that, if
certain things couldn’t be changed, he’d have to
resign (310-11). A few days later, Reagan had handed
Haig a sealed envelope with a note which “it is
with profound regret that I accept your letter of
resignation.” It was a letter he hadn’t yet
submitted to the President, however, and was the
last in a series of what can only be described as
“dingey” things the President and his staff did
that led to Haig’s resignation (Haig 310-17). Haig
was drawing up his letter of resignation, had told
the President he was doing so, but he hadn’t yet
presented it to him, when Reagan appeared at a press
conference and announced that Haig had resigned
(Haig 313-16). Haig said he’d heard of his
resignation “on the radio.”

I’ve wondered, in light of subsequent information
I’ve gathered about possible activities in which
Haig was involved, if this specific incident
occurred in precisely the way Haig originally
described it. I’ve wondered whether he was
speaking in that “code” that he used so often,
with which close associates are familiar. Was Haig
saying, in effect, that he had heard the same radio
ad as I had? Could this be what he meant by saying
he had heard this "on the radio?" Was he saying
that, in retrospect, he should have known that he
was “fired” by Reagan/Bush, in the sense that
he, Haig, was unacceptable as an employee of such an
administration, since he had fought for the allies
in World War II?

In dealing with Agee, Haig may also have been forced
to deal with the problems that were presented by
Agee’s fellow agent, Bowen. General Bowen seems to
have initially wanted to retire from the CIA in
l979. However, for some reason he then decided he
didn’t want to retire from the CIA after all. In
l981, shortly after Reagan/Bush took office, Bowen
seems either to have re-enlisted in the CIA or to
have stayed in it..

Though it seems odd to an outsider, this is quite
common for would-be “former” CIA agents. It is,
in fact, almost impossible to merely retire from the
CIA .Bowen was eventually to finally retire from the
CIA in 1989, ten years later. From what I can
determine, this is when he published edition two of
The Immaculate Deception.

Bowen was eventually to finally retire from the CIA
in 1989, ten years later, when he published edition
two of The Immaculate Deception. The conclusion that
the 1989 book was edition two is drawn from several
forms of information I've obtained and seems, with
some variation, the most likely of several scenarios
that explain the book ad.

That takes care of the title of the book in
question, and the possible author, or authors, or
how Bowen may have somehow been aware of the title
and of some of the research that went into the
production of that book. But, that still leaves open
the question of who the source of the ad for the
book was. What mysterious advertising agency would
run an ad for a book, then withdraw it before it
ever appeared in print before the general public? In
many ways, the search for the source of that book ad
was a mystery in itself.

Over the past few years, I’ve learned of the
activities of Robert Maxwell, British publisher,
British-Israeli secret agent, and tycoon. I believe,
based on years of research now, that Maxwell was the
source of that mysterious 1980 election year ad. I
think his involvement was a part of the scenario
that brought about the “October Surprise” that
defeated Jimmy Carter in the 1980 Presidential
election.

Bower, Tom. Maxwell the Outsider. New York: 1992,
Viking. xiii-xv; 274-83; 343-6; 442-3; 460-65;
470-507. Interesting data on Maxwell's body and the
state in which it was found; also interesting
correlation of dates of some of Maxwell's buyouts
and activities and the ongoing political climates at
the times.

---------. Maxwell, the Final Verdict. New York:
1996. 1-8;. 301-7; 310-13; 316-21; 323-4; 343-6;
363-74. More interesting data on Maxwell's death and
his many ties to world intelligence communities.
More interesting dates and events that correlate
well with the political pressures Bush would be
under during various election years.

In the case of both of these books, Bower comes
across as perhaps a bit too tough on Maxwell (he
goes into too much gory detail in describing the
1991 autopsy, isn't at all sensitive in his
treatment of the widow Betty and daughter Ghislaine
during the 1991 funeral arrangements, virtually
accuses his sons of being incompetents in Outsider,
then backtracks on this charge in order to further
insult Maxwell by implying he was "unfair" to his
sons in Final Verdict). Maxwell, his attorneys and
sons all attempted to keep Bower's books from
publication; they were only successful in Britain
itself, which has somewhat "different" libel laws.

This in itself, however, may reveal that Maxwell had
experienced some degree of pre-publication
harassment himself and was attempting to apply the
same methods to his own critics. 1987: going into
the 1988 Presidential election, Maxwell is
attempting to buy out the Daily News. That
publication folded, but not immediately. There was
still some potential for an exposé to run there. By
1988, he was trying, unsuccessfully, to buy into
American publishers HBJ and New York Post.

Davies, Nicholas. The Unknown Maxwell. London:
Sidgwick and Jackson, Ltd., 1992. Pan, 1993. Yet
another negative biography of Robert Maxwell. Does
have interesting data re: the circumstances of his
death. (Cited by Russell Davies). 334: "However,
what was unusual about Maxwell's last flight to the
Lady Ghislaine was that he went alone. No secretary,
no valet, no butler, no one. He had never done that
before." (Bower does note that Maxwell "cheered up"
when he got news that a young woman had come aboard
after a stop at one of the Canary Islands.) 336:
"Maxwell told Rankin to sail to the Canaries and
arrived in the morning of November 4. He spoke to
Burrington and apologized for disrupting his lunch;
he phoned Dr. Pisar in Paris. Pisar recalled: 'We
talked of plans for the immediate future,chiefly
Maxwell's excitement at being nominated by the
Scientific Institute in France to receive the
Légion d'honneur, France's highest award, and he
was to be made Man of the Year by the Jewish
Scientific and Cultural Institute at the Plaza
Hotel, New York, later in November. There was
satisfaction in his voice. A man that contemplates
suicide does not think that way.' 338: "On the
morning Maxwell died the main sliding doors were
