In the name of Allah the most Compassionate and MercifulThe Center for the Publication of the U.S. Espionage Den’s Documents P.O. BOX: 15815 - 3489 Tehran’ Islamic Republic of Iran Tel: 824005In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful This book,which includes the second series of oil-reiated documents, has been published as a means to probe into the unknown,yet very impor- tant activities of the Central Intelligence Agency.Documents published so far have revealed the CIA's vile performance in toppling other gove- mmments, or its pursuit of other political goals as set by the ruling body in America. The Agency's past and present records point up the innateness of such operations, leading one to conclude that the CIA's activities could in no way include espionage in the economic arena. As indicated by the documents seized in the U.S.espionage den,con- current with the activities carried out by the American departments of energy,commerce,the interior, and the State Nepartment, as well as private institutions like oil companies and major U.S. banks, the Cent- val Intelligence Agency has also employed both overt and covert means to provide the U.S. government with information vital to its policy-making. The agency's operations in the economic dimension engulf a wide r- ange of issues, but one of them becomes immediately prominent, due to the agency's heavy concentration of efforts in the fields of both energy and oil. This point in fact exemplifies the important role played by oil and energy in the U.S. policy making, while indicating that the oil ma- rket is in control of one party that has more information and of course, exerts more influence on the oil-rich countries! decision-makers. Now, if this were the extent of intelligence gathering, there wou- 1d have been no problem,perhaps,making the issue appear as the natural need of every government to aid in the adoption of proper decisions. But once it collects enough intelligence regarding even the most insignific- ant energy issue concerning the Third World states,the agency embarks on exercizing its influence at the various decision-making levels of those countries, ultimately leading to an increase in U.S. capital, further decreasing the vital resources of the energy producing nations, resulting in intense poverty, while the plunderers' agents that are to act as the trustees of the deprived people to whom the oil resources belong, only attend to their own pockets and nothing else.
