Well, I spent the entire time playing poker with gangsters. One long round of gold chains and designer jeans. Those assholes. They figure they have to kill half a million people to make the region safe for democracy. Top of that, there's $8 billion worth of aid going down there, and they all want a piece of it.

Well, bodies kept turning up in the bunkers, you need air support to play on the rough. Kinda puts you off your game.

They shot Khe Sanh up pretty good. Hence the weeping and rending of garments. What can I do for you?

I want to know more about GAIA. Clementine told me you had a hand in founding it.

Oh, did she indeed? Well, there's some truth in that.

Why was the CIA promoting a British anti-nuclear ecology movement?
|

Because in 1977, Carter wanted to stop the worldwide spread of nuclear weapons. Well, that meant stopping the manufacture of plutonium, and since the British were the largest manufacturers of that stuff, it meant stopping the Brits. So, I was sent over here with instructions to do just that. But when I got here and looked for the anti-nuclear lobby, there wasn't one. Out on the street, there was CND, but who gave a shit about them in those days? So I had to start from scratch. Took me about six months, but in the end I got some of the best scientists and professors in this country on my side. Then lo and behold, Carter issued PD 59. That effectively started a new cold war. All of a sudden, America wanted all the plutonium it could lay it's hands on so the Brits were back on our side again. Then I got word from Langley, dismantle GAIA. Good luck. Thing's like Banquo's ghost, it just won't go away. What it did do was go underground.
