1 March 2001. PIR and http://www.cia-on-campus.org/ are now operating again.

28 February 2001: Note from NameBase: The 17 items that are posted at www.cia-on-campus.org (which is still down) are now mirrored at another site:

http://home.sprintmail.com/~pir/campus.html

PIR.ORG was being synflooded by the IP 129.29.20.23. We blocked the host. Then we looked them up, and now have blocked the entire class B 129.29.0.0 as listed at Arin as the US Military Academy at West Point.

To: [email protected]

The publishers of NameBase ( http://www.pir.org/ ) have added a new site:

http://www.cia-on-campus.org/

So far, only 17 items have been posted, but four of these are the full text of absolute classics that are impossible to find. Even if you know of a library that carried Ramparts, chances are that these important articles were ripped out (either by hippies or CIA agents):

• Ramparts, April 1966: Article on Michigan State University and its Vietnam project.

• Ramparts, March, 1967: CIA funds the National Student Association through a network of real and dummy foundations.

• Ramparts, October 1969: Ford, Carnegie, and Rockefeller foundations set up all International Studies and Area Studies programs during the Cold War, with OSS vets and other top U.S. intelligence people pulling the strings. (This fine article, "Sinews of Empire," is by David Horowitz. Yes, he's the same one who defected to the right about ten years ago, mostly out of a disgust over "political correctness." At the end of the article, he thanks the activists at Columbia and Harvard who liberated documents from the offices of administrators during sit-ins.)

• An article written in 1970, which appeared in a 1975 collection published by Ramparts Press: How the Ford Foundation and CIA, together with MIT, Berkeley, Harvard, Cornell, Syracuse, and the University of Kentucky, trained the elites who undermined and eventually overthrew Sukarno. Includes interesting background on the 1965 coup, during which hundreds of thousands were slaughtered.

For more recent research on this coup, including info on CIA involvement that was not publicly available in 1970, see:

The www.cia-on-campus.org site includes a full-text site search engine. It also includes a special gateway into NameBase that allows unrestricted NameBase searching without a password. (The latter is a limited-time promotional feature.)
