🧃 The Leaker of the MAJESTIC 12 Files - Ex US Navy & OSS Newton Scotty (Scott) Miler Miler graduated from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and joined the U.S. Navy while completing his degree in economics. In 1946, he was recruited by the Strategic Services Unit (SSU) - a predecessor organization to the CIA - to conduct operations in China. The following year he joined the CIA and spent the 1950s serving as a case officer, running agents across multiple Asian countries. By 1964 he had risen to Station Chief in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and for the next two years reported directly to James Angleton while serving on the Agency’s Counterintelligence Staff. Angleton later selected him for a high-stakes internal mole hunt, naming him Deputy Chief of Special Investigations within the Counterintelligence Division’s Special Investigations Group (CISIG). Newton Miler and the Mole Hunt: As Miler began methodically pursuing both credible and unfounded leads, he and dozens of other CIA officers were drawn into bitterly divided factions - some convinced a traitor existed within the Agency, others equally certain the threat was illusory. A dense web of allegations, drawn largely from Soviet defector Anatoly Golitsyn’s claims about Communist penetration and false defectors, soon enveloped the entire counterintelligence staff. Angleton strongly endorsed the theory that moles had compromised most of Western intelligence, a view that also encompassed the controversial case of defector Yuriy Nosenko. Many of the leads developed by CISIG proved unverified or outright false, ultimately destroying or damaging the careers of numerous officers - including Miler’s own. Although Angleton had once identified Miler as one of the few people he believed could succeed him as chief of Counterintelligence, Miler’s deep involvement in the mole hunt effectively ended any chance of promotion. In 1975 he retired in what appeared to be a protest, along with most of the senior leadership of the counterintelligence staff, rather than await dismissal. In a later interview, Miler maintained that the fact that none of those investigated were ultimately proven to be spies did not mean a real mole had not slipped through undetected.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A decade later, Miler leaks the MJ-12 documents, my guess? Because CIA killed JFK, allegedly.
