PROMIS involvement
- Anonymous source (later known to be J. Orlin Grabbe) first mentioned PROMIS and Systematics in 1995: "In 1995, new suspicions arose concerning the use of PROMIS in the world banking system. One post on the internet charged (or, rather, sarcastically reported the "false" charge) that Systematics, a subsidiary of Alltech Corporation comprised of Systematics Financial Services Inc., Systematics Information Services Inc. of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Systematics Telecommunications Services Inc. of Dallas, Pennsylvania, had modified the PROMIS software for sale to private banks, with the attendant back doors to allow the NSA to spy on banking operations. The post went on to charge that Webster Hubbell had "helped work out strategies to use Systematics software to spy on commercial and central banks." The anonymous source encouraged Internet readers to verify the charge (or, "the utter falsehood of these malicious lies"), and attached a long list of bank and financial service addresses, executive names and capsule histories of their conversion to Systematics software, replete with citations in American Banker."

Up to now there has been nothing to link the agency to Foster's death, but The Telegraph has a tape-recorded exchange involving two of the staff at Raley's Towing, the company that towed Foster's car to the Park Police headquarters after his death. A driver can be heard in the background saying that Foster's car was taken to the CIA. "That would have gone to Park Police headquarters," said one of the staff, when asked about Foster's Honda. "No, it went to the CIA and then went to headquarters," said the driver. "Oh, it went to CIA first?" Raley's Towing refuses to elaborate. In fact, it now says that it will divulge information only if compelled under a subpoena. So we do not know why they made this excursion to the CIA."

[...] ''Till I was 19, I lived in the right place, I knew the right people, I got invited to the right parties, I dated the right girls,'' Parks said. ''I grew up with all the people in the state that had all the money. But that was the good-old-boy system. I would compare Arkansas politics to Chicago politics in the 30's.'' [...] After his father's murder, Gary Parks said, he ''freaked out.'' He walked off his job as the ''go-to guy'' at a car dealership. Later, he told me, he ran a female escort service."
