Ep5: 5 Star Trust, 5 men in the shadows: CIAs failed illegal funding scheme

This episode plunges into the dark financial history of the **FIVE STAR TRUST (FST)**, an offshore entity allegedly established as a cover for massive, unchecked CIA and DOD covert operations, avoiding congressional review. Documents detail FST's central role in the clandestine operations codenamed 'Eagle II,' 'Golden Triangle,' and 'Studebaker,' which were reportedly funded in part by drug money and the movement of vast sums, including a 318 Billion Japanese Yen certificate. We investigate the key figures tied to FST, notably Major General Robert L. Ferrera, identified as the CIA's "top world-wide 'Free Agent'" responsible for clandestine activities including assassinations, and Marion Horn Jr., who was integral to the trust's operation. These records, spanning years of internal conflict, reveal attempts by CIA figures to silence associates and destroy evidence connected to the illegal funding stream. Finally, we analyze the high-stakes legal proceedings from the early 2000s, where the government invoked "NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS" to justify withholding crucial files concerning FST's full history and its links to US intelligence. *** ### Sourcelist **Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) & Intelligence Reports:** * Excerpts from "175648354-Five-Star-Trust-Origins-FBI-Redacted-Report.pdf" (Top Secret FBI Report to Senator Edward Kennedy, July 7, 1989, detailing operations "Eagle II," "Golden Triangle," and "Studebaker") [1–22]. **Legal & Trust Documentation:** * Excerpts from "494512007-Five-Star-Trust.pdf" (Resume of History and Legal Case of Five Star Trust, including affidavits, bank statements, registration documents, and confidential correspondence related to the case *Horn v.
