From GLEN GREENWALD's latest, Wednesday April 29, 2009 13:38 EDT,
Can someone explain to Rep. Foxx the difference between hate crimes and hate speech laws?
UPDATE: I wish all those super-annoying torture victims would stop trying to divide us and distract us from all the Important Things we have to do with their self-absorbed, past-obsessed, vengeful cries for justice.
_______________________________
tommy:
1) What is Greenwald talking about?
Who specifically is a "super-annoying torture victim" trying "to divide us and distract us from all Important Things we have to do" by being guilty of "self-absorbed, past-obsessed, vengeful cries for justice"?
TORTURE VICTIMS WHO SIGN US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINTS don't have a right to voice their ontological songs of the doomed?
2) How can this blog be annoying when...NOBODY FORCES ANYBODY TO READ THIS BLOG?
If this blog annoys...then...uh...why not go elsewhere to stop the annoyance?
You can read "ALEX CONSTANTINE'S BLACK LIST"?...or some other "past torture victim"...no?
(CONSTANTINE was tortured with harassment and probably the use of directed energy weapons in the past...for?...writing and researching his books covering THE WAR AGAINST ROCK AND ROLL).
3) I would not characterize this blog, "HOLLOW MANTRAS OF CRACKED VISION" as dedicated to "dividing us" when, YOU CANNOT DIVIDE A GROUP THAT DOES NOT AND WILL NOT FIGHT TOGETHER IN PURSUIT OF JUSTICE OR THE MERE APPEARANCE OF A BOGUS KABUKI THEATRE ATTEMPT AT DEVELOPING FACTS SWORN ON THE RECORD.
I see nothing from the Dems...as far as oversight of my fact pattern, despite the fact that PELOSI, REID, LEAHY, CONYERS are in charge of something?
4) MY COMMENTS are my own...and should be intrepreted in light of my specific experience.
Free speach.
My frustration with Dems, Holder, Obama include...THE RECENT DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON ATTACK ON ME, long after CHENEY--DUMSFIELD--MUKASY were replaced? How is this legal?
Was this GATES at DOD?...PANETTA at CIA...or MUELLER AT FBI HQ using INFRAGUARD?
HOW DO YOU GET TORTURE OF A US CITIZEN INVESTIGATED BY HOLDER?
DID PRESIDENT OBAMA DECLARE THAT "BEAN IS AN ENEMY NON COMBATANT ENGAGED IN HOSTILITIES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES?" YES, or No....determines whether the last attack is legal, psuedo legal, or illegal under THE ONLY FED STATUTE THAT LEGALIZED OUTRAGEOUS MURDEROUS ASSAULTS AGAINST US CITIZENS (read, THE WAR COMMISSIONS ACT).
Some day Mr Greenwald, YOU WILL BE MENTALLY MASTURBATING (blogging) the obvious repercushions framed by my testimony.
Sorry...I'm not a nice guy any more.
Sorry...I'm just not patient enough to watch more DUMBFUCKERY BY COWARDLY CLOWNS who can easily "do their job" for the good of the nation and The Democratic Party...if, and only if, THEY GROW A SET OF BALLS
The pussified Dems, take no chances or risk...and...if I testify, I TAKE ALL THE CHANCES WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT OTHER KNOWN ASSOCIATES ARE DEAD OR HOSPITALIZED. DEMS take no chances...and I HAVE TO ARRIVE SAFELY AND PROVIDE FOR MY OWN SECURITY?
5) I got chipped, and mind controlled....after signing A US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT, AND AFTER SIGNING (under penalty of prosecution for making a false statement) an AFFADAVIT THAT GAVE FBI HQ ALL THE CRIM INVESTIGATIVE LEADS THEY NEEDED TO TIE CHENEY--HAYDEN--NSA 902ND--WHITTINGTON--NATHAN GRIFFITH--PHIL THE NARC--ROBERT MCNAUGHTON to...the murder of Christina Moore.
6) IF giving "rock solid crim leads" to the FBI is "dividing us"...then...uh...perhaps we need to redefine and revisit what "division exists" and "why pussies will not EXTORT THE EXTORTIONISTS" who obviously have remained in power despite the recent presidential transition.
7) I got hounded, misdirected, stalked, and privacy violated for 24 FUCKING YEARS.
Nobody else (but for the exception of GERAL SOSBEE, former FBI whistleblower) has or would handle this crap as well, for so long.
Stress, assaults, stalking, breakins, vehicle sabotage, chilling association rights, etc.......for 24 years.......will TAKE IT'S TOLL ON ANYBODY'S SENSE AND SENSIBILITY.
Perhaps...I am emotionally hanging by a thread, at this point.
You have not walked in my shoes.
8) Mr Greenwald, you are a fine writer on these legal issues (I would not read your blog otherwise). DIVISION is...uh...based on the WILLING PUSSIFIED FAILURE OF THE GUTLESS, SNIVELING DEMOCRATIC CLOWN PUNKS who "have not, and will not bother to use specific facts and personal pronouns" when they got their fat grandstanding face in front of the cameras and media?
All they got to do to "heal any division" is...let me testify.
Carry on, Glen....but ANY DIVISION WAS MADE WHEN PUSSIES, COWARDS, DUMBFUCKS, AND SHAMELESS APPEASORS would not "take a risk" to gain some leverage on this POWER CONTROL GROUP.
I stuck my neck out on a few high profile crimes...that could and nearly did GET ME KILLED, TORTURED, MAIMED, AND MENTALLY UNBALANCED.
So it goes.

What Is US Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan Still Doing in Obama's Justice Department?

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
by Christine Bowman
BuzzFlash and a few other progressive news sites have noted that the Obama Administration is not in the least free yet of the legacy of the US attorney firing scandal of 2007 known as Prosecutorgate. Sure, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was forced to exit in disgrace. Bradley Schlozman, Monica Goodling and Kyle Sampson also gained notoriety due to Congressional hearings. But the legacy of a deeply politicized Department of Justice (DOJ) remains. More independent-minded former US attorneys David Iglesias and Carol Lam, who failed to target Democrats for prosecution, are out. Prosecutors like Mary Beth Buchanan and Leura Canary, who have energetically targeted Democratic office holders, are in and still causing trouble.
US Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan, still heading up the Western District of Pennsylvania office, certainly personifies the problem if any one attorney does. In December 2008, having served since September 2001, Buchanan declared herself unwilling to give up her office -- Alice Martin of Birmingham, AL also refuses to bow out -- in defiance of the long-standing tradition that US Attorneys tender their resignations at the start of every new administration.
Yet Scott Horton writing at The Daily Beast notes:
In the key period of 2004-05, while groundwork was laid for what later became the U.S. attorney's scandal, Buchanan served as director of the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the key position at Justice that oversaw all the 94 U.S. attorneys. A later internal Justice Department probe, in which Buchanan figures prominently, highlights the role played by that office in Karl Rove’s plan to sack U.S. attorneys.
What is Buchanan's agenda as a prosecutor? From the get-go in 2001, she pursued obscenity cases and chased down marijuana dealers -- and high-profile drug paraphernalia vendor Tommy Chong, as BuzzFlash reported -- very publicly and aggressively advancing a right-wing "values" agenda. She "took the directives from Washington to heart," as Charlie Deitch, writing for the Pittsburgh City Paper, put it.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette further describes Buchanan as a person of "hard-driving ambition," and quotes Thomas J. Farrell, a former assistant federal prosecutor, as saying, "whether you like her or not, she probably will end up being one of the most influential U.S. attorneys we've had."
Reagan and G. H. W. Bush Attorney General and former PA Governor Dick Thornburgh saw problems with Buchanan's partisan approach when he was on the defense team of one of her Democratic targets, Allegheny County Coroner Dr. Cyril H. Wecht. In addition to Wecht, Buchanan has tenaciously pursued a Democratic Pittsburgh mayor, a Democratic sheriff, and a Democratic county judge, but not Republicans -- not even former Senator Rick Santorum, whose several ethics issues helped him lose his reelection bid. (Santorum had enthusiastically supported Buchanan's nomination and confirmation as a US attorney.)
Buchanan's current passion is apparently to chip away at privacy protections that are guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. She's all for warrantless wiretapping, but also for using cell-site location information (CSLI) -- in other words, accessing cell phone company records to pinpoint any cell-phone user's past or present whereabouts. Talk Left reports that Buchanan wants that power not only in national security or terrorism-related cases, but for just any old criminal prosecution like a narcotics case.
At issue in the Pennsylvania case is "historical" cell phone location records. Buchanan argues it's no different than pen registers and trap and traces because it doesn't intercept the voice. Scholars and many other judges have disagreed, saying when you use the cell phone to determine location, it's like a tracking device. The law requires probable cause for tracking devices....
It should be a no-brainer that when the Government seeks information about your location from your cell phone they need a warrant based on probable cause, not some boiler-plate statement to the judge that the information is relevant to an ongoing investigation.
The lower court's opinion in the Pennsylvania case is here (pdf). The Obama Justice Department briefs, filed by Buchanan, are here (pdf) and here (pdf). The second was filed just last week.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, American Civil Liberties Union, and Center for Democracy and Technology have argued that a showing of probable cause is needed before a cell phone service provider could be compelled to disclose geographic data about a subscriber, according to arstechnica.com.
Meanwhile, prominent and powerful Western PA US Representative John Murtha, a Democrat, is finding himself, or at least his friends, the target of investigations, as David D. Kirkpatrick reported in The New York Times April 25. Not only have prosecutors "raided the offices of the PMA Group — a lobbying firm founded by a former Murtha associate" [but] ... "Reports of the PMA investigation coincided with the news that federal agents had also raided Kuchera Industries, a Johnstown, Pa., company built on Mr. Murtha’s patronage whose owners held a fund-raiser for him on their private game ranch." Murtha is the top Democrat on the House Defense Appropriations Committee which oversees huge earmarks for military spending.
A writer at Firedoglake speculated in February that Buchanan intends to hang on beyond her welcome as US attorney in order to get Rep. Murtha:
But I think she's got much bigger Democratic fish she wants to stick around to fry: Jack Murtha. The NYT follows up on what ABC reported earlier: that investigators conducted two raids on entities associated with Murtha. ...
Note the timing: Murtha wins his closest election in years in November. And then the Feds raid a lobbying firm closely connected to him. In December, Buchanan refuses to step down. And in January the FBI raids Kuchera--a company that has no clear ties to PMA, but is closely associated with Murtha.
Mind you, Murtha has long been acknowledged to be one of the most corrupt Democrats in Congress. I'm sure there's at least something that Buchanan used to justify this investigation.
But just as Murtha has long been acknowledged to be one of the most corrupt Dems, Buchanan has been acknowledged to be one of the most corrupt US Attorneys. Which means, given Buchanan's obstinate refusal to leave, this one may blow up into a full-fledged political witch hunt.
As yet there seems to be no news to contradict the "Get Murtha" theory. Of course, Rep. Murtha became a magnet for right-wing hate when he called for bringing American troops home from the Iraq War in 2005. That seems as likely an underlying reason for a sudden attack as earmarks or campaign contributions.
Will Eric Holder's Justice Department bring Buchanan's anti-Democratic, anti-progressive era to an end? The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported on several possible replacements for her back in March. How about picking one and moving on? Justice still has lots of repairs to its integrity to undertake.

FALSE FLAG SWINE FLU: "Shock Doctrine" makes money off hysteria...SECRET TEAM DESTROYS AMERICA...OBAMA powerless

Unprecedented “Tidal Wave Of Death” Set To Overtake World, Warns Russia
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)
Russian Health Ministry Officials reporting to President Medvedev today are warning in their reports that the World must prepare for a “tidal wave of death” of “unprecedented dimension” due to the current swine flu pandemic sweeping across the Globe at frightening speed.
Raising the concerns of Russian Scientists, these reports say, is not the current H1N1 variant of the new Swine Influenza Virus, but its “certainty” to mix with the much more deadly H5N1 variant known as Bird Flu, and of which we can read:
“In October 2004, researchers discovered that H5N1 is far more dangerous than was previously believed. Waterfowl were revealed to be directly spreading the highly pathogenic strain of H5N1 to chickens, crows, pigeons, and other birds, and the virus was increasing its ability to infect mammals as well. From this point on, avian flu experts increasingly referred to containment as a strategy that can delay, but not ultimately prevent, a future avian flu pandemic.”
Even worse for our World, these reports continue, is that this new H1N1 variant Swine Flu already contains RNA segments of the dreaded H5N1 Bird Flu along with H3N2 swine flu variant only previously found in China, South Korea and Vietnam in a ‘mixture’ that United Nations Scientists say could only have been possible due to deliberate manipulation, and as we can read:
“According to a source known to former NSA official Wayne Madsen, “A top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission “vectors” that suggest that the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon.”
These new fears being raised by the UN we had previously reported on many times, including our April 9, 2005 report “World’s Scientists Confirm Human Origin of Deadly Flu Virus as United States Prepares for Institution of Martial Law” wherein we reported from the Wired News Service:
“Samples taken from South Korean pigs contain genes from a human flu virus created by scientists in 1933, and one American flu researcher says the sequences could represent a dangerous situation for humans.
The World Health Organization, which monitors the worldwide spread of flu, is remaining mum until researchers finish an investigation of the pig samples.
The presence of a man-made human flu virus in pigs may be worrisome for several reasons. First, a man-made virus has no business in pigs -- did the virus get there naturally, or was it a lab accident? More frighteningly, but less likely, was it bioterrorism? Second, viruses often use pigs as a conduit to humans, who would have little or no immune resistance to this particular strain of flu since no one has been exposed to it.
"In terms of flu, pigs have always represented a danger to humans because these animals act as a mixing vessel for various strains of influenza," said Dick Thompson, a spokesman for the World Health Organization.
But WHO won't be convinced that the data is real -- that the human sequences are not a result of laboratory contamination instead of human virus in a pig -- until more laboratories can verify the samples.
Henry Niman, founder of Recombinomics and a researcher who has sleuthed the spread of bird flu and its changing genetic makeup for two years, says the investigation is moving too slowly. If pigs in Korea are carrying a man-made human flu, authorities should take action immediately to prevent it from spreading.”
Russian Scientists further point out in their reports that the difference between the mortality rates in the United States and Mexico from this bizarre Swine Flu variant is due to the American public having been previously “introduced” to a H3N8 RNA component of the Bird Flu unleashed upon dogs in their country 4 years ago which is currently giving these people more immunity than the Mexican people, and which we reported on in our June 10,2005 report, “Mutated Bird Flu Hits Dogs in United States, Tens of Thousands Killed as US Government Issues News Censorship Orders Under New Quarantine Provision Laws”, and wherein we had reported:
“The fatalities in greyhounds this season appear to parallel the deaths in Florida last year, but the scope of the infections is markedly greater this season. Last season dog racing tracks were closed in Florida, but this season the closings are nationwide and the number of fatal infections has increased markedly. Last season H3N8 avian influenza was isolated in Florida. This was the first reported isolation of influenza virus from dogs. H3N8 has been previously associated with equine influenza. There have been H3N8 outbreaks in horses in Florida, Wisconsin, and Kentucky, which may be related to the outbreak in racing dogs.”
Now, to anyone wanting the greatest understanding of this current Swine Flu Pandemic, they must understand the vital connection it has with this H3N8 component that ‘mysteriously jumped’ from horses to birds, a critical component to this unfolding story especially when viewed in light of the US Military this past week releasing the following information:
“Vials of a potentially harmful pathogen have gone missing at Fort Detrick, the Army’s main biodefense lab. The samples of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) virus are relatively small. The Army has found “no evidence yet of criminal misconduct,” the Washington Post reports. And the virus usually causes only “a mild flulike illness” — although “brain inflammation and death” are possible, too. “It has potential for use as a biological weapon but is far less lethal than some other agents the lab works with.”
To the significance of the US Military releasing this information when they did, we can further read as reported by the UPI News Service:
“An investigation of the death of 21 polo horses centers on whether they died from a toxin, a virus or a contagious disease, said officials in Wellington, Fla.
"The magnitude of this is shocking," said Peter Rizzo, executive director of the United States Polo Association. "Whatever killed these horses, we don't want to see it again." The horses died Sunday, some collapsing on the polo grounds where hundreds of people had come to watch the U.S. Open Polo Championship, while others died in a nearby stable, The Palm Beach (Fla.) Post reported Tuesday.
The horses belonged to team Lechuza Caracas, owned by Venezuelan multimillionaire Victor Vargas who cradled several of the horses in his arms as they lay dying, the Post reported.”
There are those, of course, who will claim that it is just a coincidence that after the top banker for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Victor Vargas, had 21 of his finest horses killed, the US Military reports the missing vials of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis from their main bio weapon lab. But, to those knowing how the World’s Intelligence Organizations and Military Services communicate with one another, the message from the US Military about the attack on these horses from Venezuela could not have been plainer: “Prepare for an imminent bio attack!”
And as we had reported in our April 25, 2009 report, “Mexican Drug Cartel Linked With al Qaeda Unleashes Pandemic”, this is exactly what occurred with the unleashing of this Swine Flu bio weapon by the powerful Sinaloa Cartel and their CIA backed al Qaeda allies, and which from these new Russian reports point to it having been an aerosol type release which prior to its full unleashing upon the Mexican people the operatives responsible could not resist the opportunity to also hurt Chavez.
Even worse for our World is the fact that the US Military now controls both the causes and the cures for this new Swine Flu virus as they, not the World Health Organization, are the holders to the secrets of the most dreaded diseases on Earth, and as we can read:
“A large and rapidly growing global US military virus collection system parallels the World Health Organization's Global Influenza Surveillance Network (WHO GISN) but does not entirely share its public health purposes.
The US military system is a source of viruses for the WHO GISN; but it does not give most of its virus collections to WHO. It does keep all the lab specimens and viruses it collects for its own use.
Wider knowledge of the extent of the US military virus collection system and its ambiguous relationship to the WHO GISN system will raise important questions for the WHO Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Inter-Governmental Meeting (PIP IGM), which will convene in Geneva the second week of December.
The extent of the Pentagon's quiet but large virus collecting and its relationships with the WHO GISN will surprise many. For example, the Pentagon claims credit for having collected several important influenza viruses that were subsequently selected by WHO for use in seasonal and H5N1 pre-pandemic vaccines from 2000 through the present, including viruses from Panama, Peru, Nepal, Malaysia, and Indonesia.”
This information on the US Military becomes even more critical when combined with the information we released on July 4, 2008, in our report titled “Top French Bird Flu Researcher Brutally Murdered In London”, and where in we had stated:
“Most interesting about these reports, however, is not just the brutal murder of Mr. Bonomo, but the area of study he was embarked upon at London’s Imperial Collage, one of the World’s premier institutions investigating the deadly H5N1 Avian Flu Virus, and which is being reported to be the claim made by the Indonesian Government that this deadly virus has been ‘engineered’ by the United States.
Indonesian Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari has joined an ever growing list of government officials calling for the ‘immediate’ closure of the United States Naval Medical Research Unit 2 (NAMRU-2) located in their Nation, and has stated:
“This laboratory has been in Indonesia without a permit for over 40 years for research of diseases. Various types of viruses from Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Indonesia had been studied in this laboratory," she said.
The minister suspected that the results of the research work may be used for a certain dangerous and mysterious target and she was also very concerned about the government for being unable to prevent the country from threats of foreign powers already inside the country.”
It is also important to note that yesterday, Indonesia’s Health Minister continued her warnings about the US and this bioengineered Swine Flu, and as we can read as reported by Iran’s Press News Service:
“As swine flu continues to take its toll, claims surface that the deadly four-part flu virus could have been created for "bio-terror attacks." Speaking at a conference to reassure the public over hers government's response to the swine flu threat, Indonesian Heath Minister Siti Fadilah Supari said Tuesday that the controversial virus could have been man-made.
She declined to elaborate on her claim but she had previously accused Western governments of making and spreading viruses in the developing world to boost pharmaceutical companies' profits.”
Important to note in Dr. Supari’s warnings is the fact that those who stand the most to gain in this current pandemic are those of the US Military-Intelligence-Political-Media Establishment, including former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and former US Secretary of State George Shultz who are among the major stock holders of the pharmaceutical company that makes the anti-viral drug Tamiflu.
The amassing of hundreds of millions of dollars during times of crisis like these are the stock in trade for these American Oligarchs as during the 2001 Anthrax attacks upon the United States, the Bush Family and their cronies, through their ownership of the $95 Billion worth Carlyle Group, made tens of millions from the sale of the former Nazi German owned Bayer Pharmaceutical antibiotic drug Cipro.
To any skeptical, or disbelieving Americans, who cannot comprehend the madness being perpetrated against them, they only have themselves to blame as the September 11, 2001 attacks upon their Nation proved, beyond all doubt, that these people have lost nearly all of their ability to separate fact from fiction. And, nowhere is this more evident in the fact that as the World begins closing its doors to North America, and as Egypt is now joining other Nations and had ordered the mass killing of every pig in their country, and as Nation after Nation begins banning the importation of North American pork products, the United States is allowing their borders to stay open and is warning the World not to ban its pork.
Russia, of course, is laughing off these new warnings from the US and is now even expanding its bans on North American meat products, while China has just issued a warning to the Americans to quit blaming it for this new Swine Flu, as both Nations are aware of the insidious plans being laid for the massacre of tens of millions due to this bio attack.
To the CIA being the financial backers of the giant US swine corporation Smithfield’s move to Mexico where it has created the World’s largest pig murdering operation and is said to be the epicenter of this new Swine Flu virus we cannot say.
What can be said though is this, for anyone unleashing an aerosol bio engineered influenza virus, in Mexico they couldn’t have picked a better place if their planning was for the unleashing of a Global Pandemic on a scale not seen since the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918, especially when combined with the fact that pigs are nature’s natural breeding ground for flu viruses and this ‘interesting’ 2004 report from the US Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy that says:
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will soon launch experiments designed to combine the H5N1 virus and human flu viruses and then see how the resulting hybrids affect animals. The goal is to assess the chances that such a "reassortant" virus will emerge and how dangerous it might be.”
Today we know that answer…it’s dangerous, really, really dangerous!

From THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND'S FAVORITE BLOGGER CHRIS STORY (MI-5) at INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY REVIEW
http://worldreports.org/news/211_shoot_out_after_trustees_were_abused_all_weekend
..."The Pig ’Flu dimension: The combination of different strains of influenza, taken from pigs, birds and including two types of human 'flu, can only be achieved in laboratory conditions. The culprit is reported to us to be Fort Detrick, Maryland (Army Medical Command) and dissemination of the virus is reported to have been implemented by US agents during the recent presidential visit to Mexico.
Furthermore we have been told of the existence of a pig farm located in Mexico that is run by a US corporation out of Virginia (viz., US intelligence community-land). It would appear that this release represents a deliberate US counterintelligence diversion and obfuscation exercise. Considered in the context of ‘Executive Order 13295: Making individual US citizens subject to unrestricted arrest and detention in the event of a pandemic’, this is a decidedly sinister development, although it may represent yet another extremely cynical ‘scareism’ tactic.
At all events, this 'flu issue is ‘perfectly formed’ to provide a diversionary background intended to obfuscate the wholesale stealing and diversion of funds over which this Presidency has been presiding, just like its predecessors.
According to the World Health Organisation, this particular strain has never been observed in pigs or human beings before, while a Reuters report has confirmed that the strain is indeed a genetic mix of swine, avian and human 'flu. An Associated Press report cites at least one financial analyst as estimating that up to $388 million worth of sales of Tamilfu may be pending in the near future, even without an epidemic. Tamiflu may deliver quite unpleasant side effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, coughing – in fact the very symptoms that the concoction is supposed to counter.
Japan prohibited this drug in 2007 following links to suicidal behaviour.
The real danger, then, is that, for nefarious reasons including, most pressingly, in order to provide a comprehensive diversion from the cascading exposures of decades of US financial criminality, as well as being beholden to giant pharmaceutical firms, this vaccine may soon be mandated by the US authorities and possibly by other Governments interested in the satanic objectives of population control and reduction, or, more likely, playing around with 'Black experiments' in this connection."......

Who else stands to benefit from a swine flu epidemic?
Venture capital firm set to reap rewards on swine flu

BIOCRYST PHARMACEUTICALS Institutional Ownership - BioCryst is part-owned by Barclays Global Investors, N.A. and Texas Pacific Group Capital, L.P.
http://finance.aol.com/company/biocryst-pharmaceuticals-inc/bcrx/nas/institutional-ownership
BARCLAY'S AND TEXAS PACIFIC GROUP
Nicole Korczykowski from Barclay's died on Flight 3407. She was made a director at Barclay's two days before the crash in Clarence. The firm will be recovering nicely from its current financial woes, thanks to swine flu.
Ms. Korczykowski spoke Arabic and would certainly have dealt with Barclay's Saudi owners had she survived the Flight 3407 crash.
The founder of the Texas Pacific Group is David Bonderman, a director of the World Wildlife Fund - a fairly well-known intelligence front.
RE BONDERMAN, NAZIS & CIA - From a prior post of mine relating to the 2006 Lexington Comair crash:
Bonderman was co-founder of the Halifax Group, formed in January 1999 with David W. Dupree, a former director at The Carlyle Group, William L. Rogers, founding partner of Colony and the Robert M. Bass Group, also Thomas J. Barrack, chief executive of Colony Capital and a former principal at Robert M. Bass. .... Bonderman went to TPG in 1992 direct from the position of chief operating officer at the Bass Group, Inc., then based in Fort Worth, Texas. ...
Bonderman serves on the board of Gemplus International S.A.6 And this is where the Texas Pacific Group shows its true colors as a Nazi/CIA appendage. ...
In January 26th, 2000, Gemplus announced the signing of a financial agreement with the Texas Pacific Group. The latter agreed to pour $300-$500 million in equity into Gemplus: "Texas Pacific Group will join founder and chairman Marc Lassus, Gemplus employees and members of the QUANDT Family of Germany, as one of the major shareholders of Gemplus. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Gemplus will use the new capital to dramatically expand Gemplus' presence in the wireless communications, e-commerce, and Internet security markets."
The partnership was billed as one of the largest private equity investments in technology history. But there was no call for champagne at the next stockholder's meeting. The Quandts have well-deserved reputation for Nazi collaboration, as Jeffrey Myers, Department of History, Avila University, reports:
"With the rise of Hitler, the Quandts became enmeshed in the Nazi horror. The marriage of Gunther Quandt's ex-wife Magda to Joseph Goebbels initially linked the Quandt family to the Nazis, but Guenther Quandt and his sons all played significant independent roles in the Third Reich. Each eventually became a member of the Nazi party, and, more importantly, the Quandt firms of AFA and DWM (as well as the heavily Quandt-invested Daimler-Benz) utilized slave labor from the concentration camps of Hannover-Stcken, Mauthausen, and Sachsenhausen.
In the immediate post-war period, the Quandts were subject to close scrutiny and heavy fines as a result of denazification. The family also faced the loss of factories due to wartime destruction and confiscation of properties in the Soviet zone. The Quandts' version of the Economic Miracle occurred largely thanks to the rearmament of West Germany in the mid-1950s, which made DWM and AFA profitable once again."

Unprecedented “Tidal Wave Of Death” Set To Overtake World, Warns Russia
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)
Russian Health Ministry Officials reporting to President Medvedev today are warning in their reports that the World must prepare for a “tidal wave of death” of “unprecedented dimension” due to the current swine flu pandemic sweeping across the Globe at frightening speed.
Raising the concerns of Russian Scientists, these reports say, is not the current H1N1 variant of the new Swine Influenza Virus, but its “certainty” to mix with the much more deadly H5N1 variant known as Bird Flu, and of which we can read:
“In October 2004, researchers discovered that H5N1 is far more dangerous than was previously believed. Waterfowl were revealed to be directly spreading the highly pathogenic strain of H5N1 to chickens, crows, pigeons, and other birds, and the virus was increasing its ability to infect mammals as well. From this point on, avian flu experts increasingly referred to containment as a strategy that can delay, but not ultimately prevent, a future avian flu pandemic.”
Even worse for our World, these reports continue, is that this new H1N1 variant Swine Flu already contains RNA segments of the dreaded H5N1 Bird Flu along with H3N2 swine flu variant only previously found in China, South Korea and Vietnam in a ‘mixture’ that United Nations Scientists say could only have been possible due to deliberate manipulation, and as we can read:
“According to a source known to former NSA official Wayne Madsen, “A top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission “vectors” that suggest that the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon.”
These new fears being raised by the UN we had previously reported on many times, including our April 9, 2005 report “World’s Scientists Confirm Human Origin of Deadly Flu Virus as United States Prepares for Institution of Martial Law” wherein we reported from the Wired News Service:
“Samples taken from South Korean pigs contain genes from a human flu virus created by scientists in 1933, and one American flu researcher says the sequences could represent a dangerous situation for humans.
The World Health Organization, which monitors the worldwide spread of flu, is remaining mum until researchers finish an investigation of the pig samples.
The presence of a man-made human flu virus in pigs may be worrisome for several reasons. First, a man-made virus has no business in pigs -- did the virus get there naturally, or was it a lab accident? More frighteningly, but less likely, was it bioterrorism? Second, viruses often use pigs as a conduit to humans, who would have little or no immune resistance to this particular strain of flu since no one has been exposed to it.
"In terms of flu, pigs have always represented a danger to humans because these animals act as a mixing vessel for various strains of influenza," said Dick Thompson, a spokesman for the World Health Organization.
But WHO won't be convinced that the data is real -- that the human sequences are not a result of laboratory contamination instead of human virus in a pig -- until more laboratories can verify the samples.
Henry Niman, founder of Recombinomics and a researcher who has sleuthed the spread of bird flu and its changing genetic makeup for two years, says the investigation is moving too slowly. If pigs in Korea are carrying a man-made human flu, authorities should take action immediately to prevent it from spreading.”
Russian Scientists further point out in their reports that the difference between the mortality rates in the United States and Mexico from this bizarre Swine Flu variant is due to the American public having been previously “introduced” to a H3N8 RNA component of the Bird Flu unleashed upon dogs in their country 4 years ago which is currently giving these people more immunity than the Mexican people, and which we reported on in our June 10,2005 report, “Mutated Bird Flu Hits Dogs in United States, Tens of Thousands Killed as US Government Issues News Censorship Orders Under New Quarantine Provision Laws”, and wherein we had reported:
“The fatalities in greyhounds this season appear to parallel the deaths in Florida last year, but the scope of the infections is markedly greater this season. Last season dog racing tracks were closed in Florida, but this season the closings are nationwide and the number of fatal infections has increased markedly. Last season H3N8 avian influenza was isolated in Florida. This was the first reported isolation of influenza virus from dogs. H3N8 has been previously associated with equine influenza. There have been H3N8 outbreaks in horses in Florida, Wisconsin, and Kentucky, which may be related to the outbreak in racing dogs.”
Now, to anyone wanting the greatest understanding of this current Swine Flu Pandemic, they must understand the vital connection it has with this H3N8 component that ‘mysteriously jumped’ from horses to birds, a critical component to this unfolding story especially when viewed in light of the US Military this past week releasing the following information:
“Vials of a potentially harmful pathogen have gone missing at Fort Detrick, the Army’s main biodefense lab. The samples of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) virus are relatively small. The Army has found “no evidence yet of criminal misconduct,” the Washington Post reports. And the virus usually causes only “a mild flulike illness” — although “brain inflammation and death” are possible, too. “It has potential for use as a biological weapon but is far less lethal than some other agents the lab works with.”
To the significance of the US Military releasing this information when they did, we can further read as reported by the UPI News Service:
“An investigation of the death of 21 polo horses centers on whether they died from a toxin, a virus or a contagious disease, said officials in Wellington, Fla.
"The magnitude of this is shocking," said Peter Rizzo, executive director of the United States Polo Association. "Whatever killed these horses, we don't want to see it again." The horses died Sunday, some collapsing on the polo grounds where hundreds of people had come to watch the U.S. Open Polo Championship, while others died in a nearby stable, The Palm Beach (Fla.) Post reported Tuesday.
The horses belonged to team Lechuza Caracas, owned by Venezuelan multimillionaire Victor Vargas who cradled several of the horses in his arms as they lay dying, the Post reported.”
There are those, of course, who will claim that it is just a coincidence that after the top banker for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Victor Vargas, had 21 of his finest horses killed, the US Military reports the missing vials of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis from their main bio weapon lab. But, to those knowing how the World’s Intelligence Organizations and Military Services communicate with one another, the message from the US Military about the attack on these horses from Venezuela could not have been plainer: “Prepare for an imminent bio attack!”
And as we had reported in our April 25, 2009 report, “Mexican Drug Cartel Linked With al Qaeda Unleashes Pandemic”, this is exactly what occurred with the unleashing of this Swine Flu bio weapon by the powerful Sinaloa Cartel and their CIA backed al Qaeda allies, and which from these new Russian reports point to it having been an aerosol type release which prior to its full unleashing upon the Mexican people the operatives responsible could not resist the opportunity to also hurt Chavez.
Even worse for our World is the fact that the US Military now controls both the causes and the cures for this new Swine Flu virus as they, not the World Health Organization, are the holders to the secrets of the most dreaded diseases on Earth, and as we can read:
“A large and rapidly growing global US military virus collection system parallels the World Health Organization's Global Influenza Surveillance Network (WHO GISN) but does not entirely share its public health purposes.
The US military system is a source of viruses for the WHO GISN; but it does not give most of its virus collections to WHO. It does keep all the lab specimens and viruses it collects for its own use.
Wider knowledge of the extent of the US military virus collection system and its ambiguous relationship to the WHO GISN system will raise important questions for the WHO Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Inter-Governmental Meeting (PIP IGM), which will convene in Geneva the second week of December.
The extent of the Pentagon's quiet but large virus collecting and its relationships with the WHO GISN will surprise many. For example, the Pentagon claims credit for having collected several important influenza viruses that were subsequently selected by WHO for use in seasonal and H5N1 pre-pandemic vaccines from 2000 through the present, including viruses from Panama, Peru, Nepal, Malaysia, and Indonesia.”
This information on the US Military becomes even more critical when combined with the information we released on July 4, 2008, in our report titled “Top French Bird Flu Researcher Brutally Murdered In London”, and where in we had stated:
“Most interesting about these reports, however, is not just the brutal murder of Mr. Bonomo, but the area of study he was embarked upon at London’s Imperial Collage, one of the World’s premier institutions investigating the deadly H5N1 Avian Flu Virus, and which is being reported to be the claim made by the Indonesian Government that this deadly virus has been ‘engineered’ by the United States.
Indonesian Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari has joined an ever growing list of government officials calling for the ‘immediate’ closure of the United States Naval Medical Research Unit 2 (NAMRU-2) located in their Nation, and has stated:
“This laboratory has been in Indonesia without a permit for over 40 years for research of diseases. Various types of viruses from Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Indonesia had been studied in this laboratory," she said.
The minister suspected that the results of the research work may be used for a certain dangerous and mysterious target and she was also very concerned about the government for being unable to prevent the country from threats of foreign powers already inside the country.”
It is also important to note that yesterday, Indonesia’s Health Minister continued her warnings about the US and this bioengineered Swine Flu, and as we can read as reported by Iran’s Press News Service:
“As swine flu continues to take its toll, claims surface that the deadly four-part flu virus could have been created for "bio-terror attacks." Speaking at a conference to reassure the public over hers government's response to the swine flu threat, Indonesian Heath Minister Siti Fadilah Supari said Tuesday that the controversial virus could have been man-made.
She declined to elaborate on her claim but she had previously accused Western governments of making and spreading viruses in the developing world to boost pharmaceutical companies' profits.”
Important to note in Dr. Supari’s warnings is the fact that those who stand the most to gain in this current pandemic are those of the US Military-Intelligence-Political-Media Establishment, including former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and former US Secretary of State George Shultz who are among the major stock holders of the pharmaceutical company that makes the anti-viral drug Tamiflu.
The amassing of hundreds of millions of dollars during times of crisis like these are the stock in trade for these American Oligarchs as during the 2001 Anthrax attacks upon the United States, the Bush Family and their cronies, through their ownership of the $95 Billion worth Carlyle Group, made tens of millions from the sale of the former Nazi German owned Bayer Pharmaceutical antibiotic drug Cipro.
To any skeptical, or disbelieving Americans, who cannot comprehend the madness being perpetrated against them, they only have themselves to blame as the September 11, 2001 attacks upon their Nation proved, beyond all doubt, that these people have lost nearly all of their ability to separate fact from fiction. And, nowhere is this more evident in the fact that as the World begins closing its doors to North America, and as Egypt is now joining other Nations and had ordered the mass killing of every pig in their country, and as Nation after Nation begins banning the importation of North American pork products, the United States is allowing their borders to stay open and is warning the World not to ban its pork.
Russia, of course, is laughing off these new warnings from the US and is now even expanding its bans on North American meat products, while China has just issued a warning to the Americans to quit blaming it for this new Swine Flu, as both Nations are aware of the insidious plans being laid for the massacre of tens of millions due to this bio attack.
To the CIA being the financial backers of the giant US swine corporation Smithfield’s move to Mexico where it has created the World’s largest pig murdering operation and is said to be the epicenter of this new Swine Flu virus we cannot say.
What can be said though is this, for anyone unleashing an aerosol bio engineered influenza virus, in Mexico they couldn’t have picked a better place if their planning was for the unleashing of a Global Pandemic on a scale not seen since the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918, especially when combined with the fact that pigs are nature’s natural breeding ground for flu viruses and this ‘interesting’ 2004 report from the US Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy that says:
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will soon launch experiments designed to combine the H5N1 virus and human flu viruses and then see how the resulting hybrids affect animals. The goal is to assess the chances that such a "reassortant" virus will emerge and how dangerous it might be.”
Today we know that answer…it’s dangerous, really, really dangerous!

From THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND'S FAVORITE BLOGGER CHRIS STORY (MI-5) at INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY REVIEW
http://worldreports.org/news/211_shoot_out_after_trustees_were_abused_all_weekend
..."The Pig ’Flu dimension: The combination of different strains of influenza, taken from pigs, birds and including two types of human 'flu, can only be achieved in laboratory conditions. The culprit is reported to us to be Fort Detrick, Maryland (Army Medical Command) and dissemination of the virus is reported to have been implemented by US agents during the recent presidential visit to Mexico.
Furthermore we have been told of the existence of a pig farm located in Mexico that is run by a US corporation out of Virginia (viz., US intelligence community-land). It would appear that this release represents a deliberate US counterintelligence diversion and obfuscation exercise. Considered in the context of ‘Executive Order 13295: Making individual US citizens subject to unrestricted arrest and detention in the event of a pandemic’, this is a decidedly sinister development, although it may represent yet another extremely cynical ‘scareism’ tactic.
At all events, this 'flu issue is ‘perfectly formed’ to provide a diversionary background intended to obfuscate the wholesale stealing and diversion of funds over which this Presidency has been presiding, just like its predecessors.
According to the World Health Organisation, this particular strain has never been observed in pigs or human beings before, while a Reuters report has confirmed that the strain is indeed a genetic mix of swine, avian and human 'flu. An Associated Press report cites at least one financial analyst as estimating that up to $388 million worth of sales of Tamilfu may be pending in the near future, even without an epidemic. Tamiflu may deliver quite unpleasant side effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, coughing – in fact the very symptoms that the concoction is supposed to counter.
Japan prohibited this drug in 2007 following links to suicidal behaviour.
The real danger, then, is that, for nefarious reasons including, most pressingly, in order to provide a comprehensive diversion from the cascading exposures of decades of US financial criminality, as well as being beholden to giant pharmaceutical firms, this vaccine may soon be mandated by the US authorities and possibly by other Governments interested in the satanic objectives of population control and reduction, or, more likely, playing around with 'Black experiments' in this connection."......

LEAHY'S ONLY OPTION: Truth Commission...or nothing....I guess?
http://rawstory.com/08/blog/2009/04/28/truth-commission-to-proceed-despite-obamas-wishes/
Truth commission to proceed despite Obama’s wishes
By John Byrne
Published: April 28, 2009
Updated 10 hours ago
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) plans to proceed with a special commission to investigate alleged Bush administration abuses of power, despite lacking President Barack Obama’s support, according to a report Tuesday.
Sen. Leahy called for a “Truth Commission” in February to probe Bush administration policies on torture, interrogation and surveillance and to — as he puts it — “get to the bottom of what went wrong.” Such an idea would be modeled around truth commissions established in South Africa and Chile, which offered immunity to officials who committed abuses in exchange for the truth.
“Many Americans feel we need to get to the bottom of what went wrong,” Leahy said when announcing his idea in February. “I agree. We need to be able to read the page before we turn the page.”
President Obama, meanwhile, has expressed disinterest in investigating the activities of his predecessor, saying it’s time for the country to move on. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), says he doesn’t want the commission to begin until an inquiry headed by Senate Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) examines the Bush administration’s legal defenses of torture techniques.
But Leahy plans to proceed despite lacking the approval of party leaders, sources familiar with the proposal told Politico’s John Bresnahan Tuesday.
“Leahy plans to move ahead with his proposal anyway,” Bresnahan writes. “While he has not found a GOP co-sponsor for legislation creating a truth commission, Leahy is expected to begin circulating a draft soon.”
In a statement, Leahy said his commission will ultimately jibe with the President’s wishes.
“When I first proposed establishing a nonpartisan commission of inquiry in February, I thought then, as I do now, that it was the best approach to conducting a thorough review of national security policies on detention, interrogation and rendition since Sept. 11,” Leahy said in a statement to Bresnahan. “Whether such a comprehensive review happens immediately or in the weeks and months ahead, the evidence that our country committed torture demands a review of the process by which these flawed policies were developed and implemented. President Obama was correct when he said that any review should be done outside of politics. A nonpartisan commission will accomplish just that.”
Speaking in February, Leahy applauded Obama Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision not to rule out prosecutions during his confirmation hearing.
“There are some who resist any effort to investigate the misdeeds of the recent past,” he said. “Indeed, during the nomination hearing of Eric Holder, some of my fellow Senators on the other side of the aisle tried to extract a devil’s bargain from him in exchange for the votes — a commitment that he would not make… That is a pledge no prosecutor should give and Eric Holder did not give it. But because he did not it accounts for some of the votes against him.”
Some liberals have critiqued the proposal, asserting that Bush officials shouldn’t be granted immunity from prosecution even if they’re forthcoming in a congressional investigation. Conservatives have attacked the proposed commission as a political witchhunt.

Truth commission to proceed despite Obama’s wishes
By John Byrne
Published: April 28, 2009
Updated 10 hours ago
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) plans to proceed with a special commission to investigate alleged Bush administration abuses of power, despite lacking President Barack Obama’s support, according to a report Tuesday.
Sen. Leahy called for a “Truth Commission” in February to probe Bush administration policies on torture, interrogation and surveillance and to — as he puts it — “get to the bottom of what went wrong.” Such an idea would be modeled around truth commissions established in South Africa and Chile, which offered immunity to officials who committed abuses in exchange for the truth.
“Many Americans feel we need to get to the bottom of what went wrong,” Leahy said when announcing his idea in February. “I agree. We need to be able to read the page before we turn the page.”
President Obama, meanwhile, has expressed disinterest in investigating the activities of his predecessor, saying it’s time for the country to move on. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), says he doesn’t want the commission to begin until an inquiry headed by Senate Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) examines the Bush administration’s legal defenses of torture techniques.
But Leahy plans to proceed despite lacking the approval of party leaders, sources familiar with the proposal told Politico’s John Bresnahan Tuesday.
“Leahy plans to move ahead with his proposal anyway,” Bresnahan writes. “While he has not found a GOP co-sponsor for legislation creating a truth commission, Leahy is expected to begin circulating a draft soon.”
In a statement, Leahy said his commission will ultimately jibe with the President’s wishes.
“When I first proposed establishing a nonpartisan commission of inquiry in February, I thought then, as I do now, that it was the best approach to conducting a thorough review of national security policies on detention, interrogation and rendition since Sept. 11,” Leahy said in a statement to Bresnahan. “Whether such a comprehensive review happens immediately or in the weeks and months ahead, the evidence that our country committed torture demands a review of the process by which these flawed policies were developed and implemented. President Obama was correct when he said that any review should be done outside of politics. A nonpartisan commission will accomplish just that.”
Speaking in February, Leahy applauded Obama Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision not to rule out prosecutions during his confirmation hearing.
“There are some who resist any effort to investigate the misdeeds of the recent past,” he said. “Indeed, during the nomination hearing of Eric Holder, some of my fellow Senators on the other side of the aisle tried to extract a devil’s bargain from him in exchange for the votes — a commitment that he would not make… That is a pledge no prosecutor should give and Eric Holder did not give it. But because he did not it accounts for some of the votes against him.”
Some liberals have critiqued the proposal, asserting that Bush officials shouldn’t be granted immunity from prosecution even if they’re forthcoming in a congressional investigation. Conservatives have attacked the proposed commission as a political witchhunt.

MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL unleashes false flag flu pandemic....ILLUMINATI PLAN FOR ONE WORLD ORDER?

Mexican Drug Cartel Linked With al Qaeda Unleashes Pandemic
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)
Disturbing reports are emerging from the Kremlin today detailing what many Russian scientists believe is a biological attack upon the North American continent initiated by members of Mexican drug cartels operating in concert with al Qaeda cells linked to Pakistan who have unleashed as an yet ‘unknown’ influenza type virus reported to have killed at least 150 in Mexico and now being reported in the US States of Texas, California and New York.
According to these reports, Mexican Federal Police have reported to Interpol that the ‘bullet ridden’ bodies of 9 men found in the Mexican resort city of Acapulco have been linked to Yemen, Lebanon and Pakistan and are believed to be members of an al Qaeda cell operating out of the Triple Border Region of South America where Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil meet and is home to one of the largest Lebanese expatriate populations in the World.
These reports continue by stating that evidence found by Mexican police in the vehicles belonging to this alleged al Qaeda cell point to their having transported ‘biological materials’ believed to have been sold to the powerful Sinaloa Cartel that United States Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. called a ‘National Security Threat’ in his launching America’s biggest ever assault ever upon these drug lords of Mexico eight weeks ago.
The purpose of this biological attack, reports the FSB, is but a further escalation in the deadly drug war in Mexico that threatens to topple their government and that the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has reported has killed nearly 10,000 and shows no signs of abating.
Forcing this unprecedented escalation in this war, the FSB further reports, was the arrest of the son of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel leader Ismael Zambada Garcia’s son Vicente Zambada Niebla, also known as “El Vicentillo”, who his father has vowed to free, “no matter what the cost”.
Russian Military Analysts also state in these reports that the ‘biological agent’ being used in this attack was ‘most likely’ created at the secret al Qaeda laboratories located in Algeria which recently suffered a ‘catastrophic’ failure during one of their experiments, and as we can read:
“An al Qaeda affiliate in Algeria closed a base earlier this month after an experiment with unconventional weapons went awry, a senior U.S. intelligence official said Monday.
The official, who spoke on the condition he not be named because of the sensitive nature of the issue, said he could not confirm press reports that the accident killed at least 40 al Qaeda operatives, but he said the mishap led the militant group to shut down a base in the mountains of Tizi Ouzou province in eastern Algeria.
He said authorities in the first week of January intercepted an urgent communication between the leadership of al Qaeda in the Land of the Maghreb (AQIM) and al Qaeda's leadership in the tribal region of Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan. The communication suggested that an area sealed to prevent leakage of a biological or chemical substance had been breached, according to the official.”
Russian Military reports further state that the influenza variant al Qaeda scientists were believed to be experimenting with was meant to be specifically ‘targeted’ against US and NATO Military Forces, and which appears to be confirmed by the World Health Organization who in reporting on this mysterious new flu virus states:
“The majority of these cases have occurred in otherwise healthy young adults. Influenza normally affects the very young and the very old, but these age groups have not been heavily affected in Mexico. Because there are human cases associated with an animal influenza virus, and because of the geographical spread of multiple community outbreaks, plus the somewhat unusual age groups affected, these events are of high concern.”
Western news sources further report about this growing tragedy:
“The World Health Organization said on Friday it was calling an emergency committee to advise whether outbreaks of swine flu in humans in the United States and Mexico constituted an international public health threat.
A deadly strain of swine flu never seen before has broken out in Mexico, killing as many as 60 people and raising fears of a possible spread across North America.
“WHO will convene, sometime in the very near future, an emergency committee under the International Health Regulations, which will consider whether or not this event constitutes a public health event of international concern,” WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told Reuters in Geneva.”
FSB reports also state that this mysterious virus has infiltrated the United States following the known drug routes from Mexico into the US States of Texas, California and New York and will, ‘most likely’ continue its spread across the entire North American continent should preventative measures fail to contain it.
President Obama is reported to be monitoring this deadly situation and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is reported to have activated his States Joint Emergency Operations Center in response to this crisis, though strangely, the US has stated that it is not yet advising its citizens to avoid traveling to Mexico.
Russian Medical Authorities in these reports state that though deadly, the dangers of contracting this, or any other type of influenza, can be countered by sound hygiene practices such as staying away from all medical care facilities unless emergency treatment is needed, staying away from crowds, wearing of face masks to minimize the spread of this disease through inhalation and the vigorous washing of hands after any contact with other human beings or surfaces they may have touched.
It is also interesting to note that the Conficker computer virus many believed would wreak havoc on April 1, is reported to be ‘slowly reactivating’ in a curious coincidence with the spread of this mysterious new virus, and which FSB sources state is ‘preparing’ for some as yet ‘unknown event’ believed to be imminent.

Obama’s Air Force One In Shootdown Scare Over New York City
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)
Russian Military Officers are reporting to Prime Minister Putin this morning that President Obama [pictured top left with UN Secretary General Ban] was stopped by US Air Force fighter jets while Air Force One was attempting to land in New York City where Obama was scheduled to meet UN, Russian and Chinese diplomats for what the White House had communicated was ‘critical and vital’ information relating the influenza pandemic currently overrunning the World.
Though the US propaganda media is portraying this shocking incident involving the most secure aircraft in the World as a ‘photo op’ staged by the Pentagon, statements from some the thousands of New Yorkers made to flee for their lives as this aerial battle unfolded portray a quite different story, and as we can read:
David Frank of Jersey City wrote:
“I work in 30 Hudson, which is the largest building in NJ and is right on the water facing the Statue of Liberty. I ran out of the building after a stampede of people began running out of the building as they saw the jumbo jet being followed by two fighter planes veer sharply towards our building and climb right over it. By the time I got outside, it was coming around for its THIRD pass, and I watched it level off below building height over the water and then once again veer sharply towards the building. Several hundred of us began to run away fearing for our lives before it climbed steeply and flew over our building. Whoever thought that this 'photo op' was a good idea should be removed from command...why couldn't this simply be done with Photo Shop? Hollywood can create an entire armageddon on film but the US military can't photo shop a plane by the Statue of Liberty?”
Patrick Kennell of NYC wrote:
“We saw a low-flying 747 buzz the Southwest edge of Manhattan, at Battery Park City, with a fighter jet appearing to chase it on its left wing. At about Rector Street or so, it took a hard left and looked to be headed straight for Jersey City. It flew over J.C., turned south, and continued to climb over Newark. It left our sight, only to return on the same path a second time about five minutes later. It was confusing and panicked the office. We dialed 9-1-1 and considered whether to evacuate. We were told by 9-1-1 that it was 'authorized' to be there. We later learned, from your website, that it was part of a DOD 'photo op.' NotifyNYC advises it was 'part of an approved federal activity.' To conduct a 'photo op,' unwarned in advance to Lower Manhattan residents and workers, in that manner was completely irresponsible.”
Nancy in Lower Manhattan wrote:
“Our building, One New York Plaza, was evacuated, as were most of the high rises in this area. How could the US MILITARY think that NYers wouldn't be alarmed by low-flying jets? Why was the city not notified beforehand?”
Video taken of this aerial battle between Air Force One and US fighter jets clearly show that the strangeness of the statements issued by Pentagon officials that this type of incident was ‘normal’, even though no existing records exist of any incident of this type ever occurring before.
These reports go on to detail that signal intelligence intercepts by Russian Military satellites show that just prior to Air Force One landing, two US F-16 fighter jets ordered the American President’s plane to return to Washington D.C., which Obama’s pilot refused to do. Upon Air Force One refusing the orders to return to Washington D.C., these reports continue, one of the F-16’s in pursuit ‘locked on’ its air-to-air missiles which then made Air Force One take evasive maneuvers causing it to veer towards the sky scrapers of Manhattan in a ‘defensive move’ that Russian Air Force Officers state was deliberately done as Obama’s pilots did not believe they would be shot down over a major American city in full view of tens of thousands of witnesses.
Upon being made aware of the plight of the US President, both Russian and Chinese Military Officials ‘ordered’ the Pentagon under threat of ‘immediate and swift reprisal’ to cease their attack and allow Air Force One safe passage back to Andrews Air Force Base, which according to these reports US Military Authorities acceded to.
These reports further state that President Obama was scheduled to inform the UN, Russian and Chinese diplomats of the ‘full facts’ underlying the current Global influenza pandemic that include its being a bio-weapons attack initiated by the powerful Mexican Sinaloa Cartel operating in league with al Qaeda cells linked to the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), who Obama is currently engaged in a bitter battle for control over the United States, and as we had previously reported on in our report, “Mexican Drug Cartel Linked With al Qaeda Unleashes Pandemic”.
President Medvedev, upon his learning, this past Friday, of the full implications of the deadly coup taking place in the United States, was informed by the FSB that the leader of Russian Military Intelligence (GRU), General Valentin Korabelnikov, had knowingly cooperated with anti-Obama CIA forces in the unleashing of this pandemic, to which Medvedev immediately signed a decree dismissing General Korabelnikov from his post and placing him under FSB arrest and control.
As the death toll in Mexico due to this pandemic has soared to 149, reports now place this dreaded influenza virus in: The United States, Britain, Scotland, France Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Israel and Brazil, with the World Health Organization expected to soon issue its highest pandemic warning as the US has already declared a Public Health Emergency and the European Union is warning its citizens not to travel to North America.
Strangely though, as the United States Homeland Security Department is now reporting that it is “preparing as if swine flu is a pandemic”, reports from the US continue to show the American people are not heeding even the simplest of protection measures such as wearing masks in public.
Russian Military Analysts, however, state that the American people are being given contradictory information by the propaganda media sources who these reports say for the most part are backing the CIA against President Obama and who stand the most to gain should Obama fail in his efforts to rid his government of the Bush-Clinton Global Drug Cartel who have lead that beleaguered Nation for nearly 30 years. And, as we had previously reported on in our January 22, 2009 report, “Obama Re-Sworn To Office After Foiling Coup Attempt”, the fight against the new American President by those who oppose him in the Bush and Clinton controlled CIA is not only far from over, it is now bringing our entire Earth one step closer to Total War.

White House Apologizes For NYC Military Fly-By
F-16s Escort A 747 From Air Force One Fleet Near Statue Of Liberty; Defense Dept. Says It Was Just Photo Op
FAA: Mayor's Office, NYPD, NJ State Police & Other Authorities Were Notified
Concerned Residents, Workers Flood CBS 2 With Phone Calls
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
Some military aircraft flying over lower Manhattan, including a Boeing 747 from the Air Force One fleet, caused a brief scare for residents, workers, and pedestrians on Monday, but CBS 2 has learned the jets were part of a Department of Defense photo shoot and that there was no threat to the city.
The head of the White House Military Office issued an apology just after 4:30 p.m.
"Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision. While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it's clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused," Director Louis Caldera said in a statement.
According to many callers who flooded CBS 2 HD with their concerns, at about 10 a.m. the aircraft were seen flying at low altitudes over the Statue of Liberty and parts of lower Manhattan. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that two F-16s escorting a Boeing 747 -- which CBS 2 confirmed is also used as an Air Force One -- were part of the Department of Defense photo shoot......

Air Force Jets Over Manhattan Spark Panic

MYFOXNY.COM - People evacuated from office buildings in Lower Manhattan and Jersey City after a commercial-sized jet was seen circling the city with two fighter jets following it.
It turns out, the planes were part of a planned photo shoot by the military involving the presidential plane. Shortly after the incident, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he had no information about the flight, but by Monday evening, the head of the White House Military Office apologized for the flight.
WATCH ANDREA DAY'S REPORT (VIDEO, LEFT)
The FAA said planes circling Lower Manhattan were part of "photo op." Spokesman Jim Peters told the Wall Street Journal that the Defense Department was conducting a photo shoot that involved two F-16s escorting a Boeing 747 in the vicinity of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. He said the maneuver is not an emergency and was coordinated in advance with the FAA and state and local officials. But the Port Authority told the WSJ that it was not notified of the event.
New York City Michael Bloomberg was not notified of the shoot beforehand and said he would have tried to stop it if he had known.
Officials say the Boeing 747 is used by President Barack Obama and called Air Force One when he's aboard.
A man emailed MyFoxNY.com saying his wife and her co-workers at Goldman Sachs in Jersey City were evacuated because of the planes.
Another Web site viewer had emailed MyFoxNY.com that they has seen a flight being escorted by a fighter jet from the window of their Staten Island home.....

4) SOLUTION TO THIS OUTRAGE FOR OBAMA: have HOLDER take Bean's statements and offer to testify against the BUSH CRIME FAMILY who murdered CHRISTINA MOORE, RICH GORDON, MARK DEFENBAUGH, JOHN KABIESEMAN, Bob Nelson...AND OTHER ATTEMPTED MURDERS.

White House Apologizes For NYC Military Fly-By
F-16s Escort A 747 From Air Force One Fleet Near Statue Of Liberty; Defense Dept. Says It Was Just Photo Op
FAA: Mayor's Office, NYPD, NJ State Police & Other Authorities Were Notified
Concerned Residents, Workers Flood CBS 2 With Phone Calls
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
Some military aircraft flying over lower Manhattan, including a Boeing 747 from the Air Force One fleet, caused a brief scare for residents, workers, and pedestrians on Monday, but CBS 2 has learned the jets were part of a Department of Defense photo shoot and that there was no threat to the city.
The head of the White House Military Office issued an apology just after 4:30 p.m.
"Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision. While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it's clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused," Director Louis Caldera said in a statement.
According to many callers who flooded CBS 2 HD with their concerns, at about 10 a.m. the aircraft were seen flying at low altitudes over the Statue of Liberty and parts of lower Manhattan. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that two F-16s escorting a Boeing 747 -- which CBS 2 confirmed is also used as an Air Force One -- were part of the Department of Defense photo shoot......

MYFOXNY.COM - People evacuated from office buildings in Lower Manhattan and Jersey City after a commercial-sized jet was seen circling the city with two fighter jets following it.
It turns out, the planes were part of a planned photo shoot by the military involving the presidential plane. Shortly after the incident, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he had no information about the flight, but by Monday evening, the head of the White House Military Office apologized for the flight.
WATCH ANDREA DAY'S REPORT (VIDEO, LEFT)
The FAA said planes circling Lower Manhattan were part of "photo op." Spokesman Jim Peters told the Wall Street Journal that the Defense Department was conducting a photo shoot that involved two F-16s escorting a Boeing 747 in the vicinity of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. He said the maneuver is not an emergency and was coordinated in advance with the FAA and state and local officials. But the Port Authority told the WSJ that it was not notified of the event.
New York City Michael Bloomberg was not notified of the shoot beforehand and said he would have tried to stop it if he had known.
Officials say the Boeing 747 is used by President Barack Obama and called Air Force One when he's aboard.
A man emailed MyFoxNY.com saying his wife and her co-workers at Goldman Sachs in Jersey City were evacuated because of the planes.
Another Web site viewer had emailed MyFoxNY.com that they has seen a flight being escorted by a fighter jet from the window of their Staten Island home.....

NEW REPORT FROM THE IMF/WORLD BANK SPRING MEETINGS STARTS HERE:
Washington, DC:
CALENDAR OF PERTINENT EVENTS FROM 8TH APRIL
In order to understand what we believe to have occurred with respect to 'the Settlements' as viewed from the Press Room here at the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, we will first sumarise what sources reported to us from 8th April onwards....
• 8th April 2009: Michael Wise, the former Chairman of Silverado Savings and Loan, was reported by The Denver Post [on 14th April: note the huge time delay] to have jumped from the 9th Floor of a parking garage at Tampa International Airport. This information was reported by Henry Poage, of the Hillsborough Medical Examiner's Office. According to this source, Mr Wise drove a rental car to the ninth floor of the short-term parking garage.
The Medical Examiner's Office 'ruled that the death was a suicide', explaining that a security video shows Wise pacing, before stepping off the side and landing in a landscaped area with palm trees and some greenery, according to Tampa International Airport spokeswoman Brenda Geoghagan. Wise was taken to hospital but died in the emergency room at 1:39pm. So we are to believe that a report which did not surface for a week after the event is accurate in all respects, even though if one were to be determined to commit suicide, hiring a car beforehand might be considered very odd, while surviving a nine-story fall even into some greenery is highly improbable.
This 'suicide' must be considered in the context of the spate of Clintonesque murders that have been taking place, as the crooks try to 'clean up the playground' so that the massive unravelling of their financial criminality that is now in full swing will encounter as many 'dead ends' as possible. There are 'connections' with the death of Mr Wise that are believed to be spectacular.
• 15th April, 10:22 pm UK time: Notwithstanding that he is under indictment, George H. W. Bush Sr. was STILL attempting to move funds irregularly on this date, in response to which Euroclear was shut down so that anticipated or identified irregular financial movements would not take place. We speculated internally that this development might also be connected with a Chinese lien on funds.
• 17th April, 10:15pm UK time: It was reported to us that the Bush Crime Family had summoned a 'top-level' meeting in Texas, to which key co-conspirators with Bush Sr. and Dr Alan Greenspan, his chief trader, were invited. A significant number of Bush Sr.'s leading foreign co-conspiratorial assets who flew to Dallas or Houston for the meeting were reportedly apprehended at the airport. This meeting was believed to have been summoned because of the need to repatriate funds.
This is consistent with earlier reports of key parties falling below the radar. For instance, a Dallas-based broker-Trustee who had been in DIRECT and continuing touch with the Editor of this service for at least two and a half years, sending emails describing 'imminent payment scenarios' which were always disappointed, has not been heard from since 11th April 2009. On that date, he had commented very sensibly on the situation that seemed about to arise if the IMF had been minded to impede, on the instructions of the White House, the Editor's press accreditation for the Spring Meetings. (This was the serious situation referenced in our reports dated 13th/14th April).
On 14th April 2009, the Editor sent emails to this contact, which bounced. Altogether, we sent nine emails spaced over a period of days, and they have all bounced. The return emails contain an NSA code which is intended to indicate that the contact was now prohibited from communicating with us. In other words, the 'loop' of information using us as the fulcrum had outlived its usefulness, and was closed down, implying some change or other in the overall situation.
This episode will be incorporated in a detailed but separate study on the innumerable deception techniques and operations to which the Editor has been subjected throughout these extensive investigations. More broadly, the closing down of this information 'loop', reaching straight back to Bush Sr., we have solid reason to believe, could be interpreted as a positive sign of progress.
Such techniques are used in intelligence to gauge how a particular deception is performing, and whether it should be continue or be modified. It was clearly felt that communicating with the Editor would facilitate the feedback that these people thought they needed, to see how far they could push their thievery. But following the G-20 meeting in the London area, the situation changed.
We should clarify here the earlier information about Greenspan's latest arrest. It was specifically reported, and confirmed, that this crook had been arrested and was incarcerated for a 30-day period pending a hearing before a Magistrate Judge. It is possible that when our sources speak of 'arrests' at this level, what may actually be meant here is 'apprehended'.
The fact that Greenspan reportedly delivered one or more speeches which overlapped the period of alleged incarceration is not material, as he has a speech-writing team and could have submitted papers before these events. However much one may dig around looking for further and better particulars, though, a veil is usually drawn over these arrests of such prominent operatives.
Neverethless, Dr Greenspoon, like Bush Sr., is reported to us to be under indictment. That's what matters in view of what follows. In addition, following the G-20 jamboree, we received at least half a dozen reports of further extensive arrests, both in Europe and in North America.
• 21st April, 9.35pm UK time: It is reported that (a) 'a lot more arrests' have taken place during the day and possibly earlier, and that (b) George H. W. Bush Sr. and Greenspan intervened OPENLY to block settlement moves, apparently in the most brazen manner. The explanation given to us was that with Vice-President Biden in charge of the National Security Council, which tells the President of the United States what to do [see the preceding report], and Biden working with the Clintons who are close long-term collaborators (and simultaneously enemies) of the Bush Crime Nexus, Bush Sr. may assume that he remains inviolable, EVEN THOUGH HE IS UNDER INDICTMENT.
21st April: For the first time, the Editor learns that the International Monetary Fund has acquired a large volume of gold for smelting. (When the Fund acquires gold, it is smelted immediately). These reports, from impeccable sources, could not specify the SOURCE of the gold acquired by the Fund.

__________________
At the Spring Meetings, the Editor has attempted to ascertain the answer to this question, so far without success. Obviously, parallels with the stealing of The Queen's gold on 29th-30th March 2007 suggested themselves, but after consideration we did not suspect there had been any such repetition: those involved got a nasty shock when that theft was publicised by this service, and the gold had to be restored. So the issue remained, for the time being, up in the air.
Nevertheless, the Editor formulated the following question, which he had intended to attempt to ask the Managing Director of the IMF (but unfortunately, again, at a Press Conference on Saturday, the IMF convenor appeared deliberately NOT to call the Editor of this service). The question would have been:
'What is the source of the gold reportedly acquired and being smelted by the IMF, and are IMF tax-exempt accounts being used to hide diverted or stolen funds, or have they been used for these purposes in the past?'.

• 22nd April 2009: The Editor learns that David Kellermann, aged 41, the Chief Financial Officer of Freddie Mac, was found dead by his wife this morning. The news surfaced on the US broadcast media at about 9:30 am EST: so at least, compared with the Wise 'suiciding' that occurred on 8th April but was not reported by The Denver Post until 14th April, no attempt was made to hold back this sinister news. But everything else that surfaced (and has not yet been publicised in the so-called 'mainstream' media), is distinctly sinister. Thus:
• Mr Kellerman asked for protection (i.e. he'd been threatened) but received only very light cover.
• Mr Kellerman was sent home for two weeks. (Reason: they couldn't 'get at him' while he was out and about so they needed him to be in a fixed location, our informants advised us at the time).
• Mr Kellerman shot himself and after he had shot himself he hanged himself [sic]. This is a feat which not even Houdini in all his glory could ever have achieved.
First, Kellerman was reported to have been found hanged. However special information received from reliable sources by this service indicates that the was SHOT FIRST, AND THEN HANGED.
Mrs Kellerman informed local media that her husband had committed suicide.
• As you can imagine, there is far more behind this hideous event than has surfaced. Indeed, the imperative to prevent Mr Kellerman testifying to what has been going on, which can conveniently be summarised as THE WHOLESALE STEALING OF ASSETS FOR COLLATERALISATION AND TRADING PURPOSES, would appear to have been so intense that he 'had to be liquidated'.
In March 2009, Freddie Mac disclosed that it was being investigated by the US Attorney's Office in Virginia, and had been supoenaed for documents related to accounting disclosure and corporate governance issues back to September 2008, which was precisely when, as previously advised, the $14.0 trillion of assets belonging to sovereign parties was placed into 'lockdown' (between 10th and 12th September), followed by the 'triple gunshot threat' left on the Editor's voicemail and the warning that the Editor should be careful on his forthcoming visit to Washington for the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in October 2008. Special protection was provided throughout that visit.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is also conducting an investigation into Freddie Mac, and has interviewed staff. A spokesman for Freddie Mac stated on 22nd April 2009 that the institution 'knows of no connection between this personal tragedy and the ongoing regulatory enquiries': which seems quite extraordinary, since what has so far been revealed is just the tip of the most immense iceberg in the Northern Hemisphere, we understand.
As indicated in the Update of 22nd April appended to our report dated 14th April, we are now in the Third Clinton Administration, with no checks and balances evident. The Clintion operatives have reverted to their usual form: liquidations. So far during the Spring Meetings, the Editor has heard no mention of the two 'suicides' referenced above, even though anyone who has not completely squashed their brains by sitting on them too hard must sense that these 'Black' developments are directly and specifically related to the headlong unravelling of the criminal finance Octopus.
• Note: Although the Clintons' ill-gotten gains are believed to have been frozen (explaining why Bill is hardly rushing to the financial assistance of his CIA wife who has recently been described by another source as being more senior within the CIA than William Jefferson), they appear to have been attempting to use blackmail, the trade-off being 'release our funds and we'll cooperate'.
• 23rd April: We are informed that 147 key figures involved in the thefts and corruption have again been advised that they face indictment, and that NONE can rely on any prospect of immunity. This is the same number of indictments, or potential indictments, that were mooted back in 2007, but that went nowhere because of the usual high-level interference with law enforcement. However on this occasion, the information was accompanied by the following further elaboration:
• The 147 co-conspirators (including a large number of very well-known names) were told that if diverted funds were not 'restored' by close of business EST on Friday 24th April 2009, they would be arrested. We were separately advised that:
• Relevant law enforcement personnel (US Marshals) were IN PLACE ALL OVER WASHINGTON effective from 6.00pm on Friday 24th April, to effect the arrests. A large number of arrests was thought to be imminent, presumably if the stolen funds had not been 'restored'.
• 23rd April: Hywel Jones, 55, a former Natwest banker, former prominent Director of the Bankers' Association of the Bahamas and of the Bahamas Institute of Bankers, is shot in the back of the head by a sole gunman waiting in ambush outside the office of his offshore financial services company in Nassau, capital of the Bahamas. The 'slim, dark male' gunman escaped on a motorcycle.
On 25th April, Mr Jones, from Wales, was reported to be critically ill in a coma and was under police guard after having undergone emergency surgery.
It is believed that the bullet passed through his head. Mr Jones was arriving for work when he was shot. This is now thought to be a Stanford-connected liquidation. Recall that Stanford's lone British accountant on Antigua, whose accounting contract with Stanford ended on 31st December 2008, died suddenly and mysteriously on New Year's Day.
There are no coincidences when imploding cascades of crimes unravel like this...
• 24th April: In the context of the US banks' so-called 'stress tests', it has transpired that these institutions are now formally considered to be 100% liable for their off-balance sheet 'assets'.
This 'clarification' has inevitably emerged because of the convoluted Geithner scheme whereby what are now suddenly being called 'legacy assets' are supposedly to be revalidated, following the devastating 'shock' delivered to the derivatives environment when interbank market liquidity, with the exception of drug money, dried up following the events of 10th-12th September 2008.
The problem that the designers of Geithner's original scheme may not have factored in to their thinking in the rush to develop a formula which would enable the White House and its cronies to retain control of trading (according to the underlying thinking here) was that if those fraudulent assets are to be revalidated, the banks' liabilities remain intact. (The same would apply even if, as we expect, Geithnerism collapses in ignominy, as there will be, as we predicted, few, if any 'takers' for repackaged 'formerly toxic' assets remarketed to restart the collapsed derivatives system).
Anyway, the upshot of this is that since the banks are liable for the fraudulent off-balance sheet assets, this means in practice that the off-balance sheet assets are in effect on-balance sheet! So this appears to be another case of shooting oneself and then hanging oneself afterwards.
But the situation has CHANGED during the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings as will be explained.
• 24th April: The Editor attends a Press Conference off the Press Room given by the Canadian Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Canada. The meeting was held in between sessions of the Group of Seven (G-7). The Editor was able to take the microphone, and asked why discussions at these meetings were focused on repairing a broken financial system by attempting to restore the integrity of 'Structured Products' (derivatives) which had been demonstrated to be worthless and fraudulent inter alia because there is NO RECOURSE to the underlying source of real money (e.g. from the original mortgagor).
• It was tantamount to repairing a collapsed building with faulty cement.
The Editor pointed out that the Bank of Canada (unspoken, of course: which was deeply involved in dodgy financial operations preceding this crisis) and the Ministry of Finance know perfectly well that derivatives assets are fraudulent. He concluded by mentioning that 'there IS a straightforward solution: it's called trading on the books'.
At this, the room erupted and the Governor commented: 'I thought there'd be a question like this, which is why a representative from the G-7 is at this meeting'! The clear implication was that the Governor of the Bank of Canada knows all about the G-7-Approved private sector Dollar System Refunding Programme using sovereign LOAN funds referenced in earlier reports, which would reliquefy the banks ON THE BOOKS, deliver massive ongoing taxation accruals to the US Treasury (and to the British Treasury as this programme is to be run from London, and trading funds held within the UK financial jurisdiction for 24 hours are liable for UK tax).
However after these comments, the Governor reverted to his script consistently with the 'line' at these meetings, which is to avoid all references to Fraudulent Finance, Ponzi Schemes, criminal operations, diversion, the Bush Crime Family and stealing of funds, and the ransacking of private monies which these people know all about but which are taboo subjects in these refined circles.
• 24th April: The Editor is informed that key Trustees have been put 'on standby' for payment in the coming week, starting on Monday. This would be consistent with the requirement imposed on the 147 perpetrators for stolen and diverted funds to be 'restored' by close of business on 24th April. As of 9.00pm EST on Saturday evening in the Press Room, where this report was being prepared, the Editor had not received any information about arrests having taken place.
• FACT: What normally happens is that these sequences follow a standard pattern, and that when the payments are anticipated WITHOUT draconian action having been taken, as on this occasion (?), the payments are aborted. So, pending confirmation of remittances (which may well be quite hard to come by) it won't be possible to tell whether this nightmare is indeed coming to an end.
• 25th April: HOWEVER, M. Dominique Strauss-Khan, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, told the media repeatedly on Saturday that 'green shoots of recovery' HAVE been detected and that the Fund's view, thanks to substantial 'progress' which he says has been made at these meetings [see below], is that these will mature into signs of real recovery by around the third quarter, with tangible growth emerging in the first half of 2010.
WHAT LIES BEHIND STRAUSS-KAHN'S CONFIDENCE IN RECOVERY?
This makes no sense whatsoever in view of facts such as that a further five million foreclosures are anticipated in the United States in due course, with obvious implications for unemployment and consumption, while losses sustained to date arising from the crisis are now estimated in the many trillions of dollars. The Editor learned at one meeting, held in the IMF Governors' Board Room, that the total value of new development contracts worldwide that have actually been cancelled since September last year exceeds $1,600 billion. And given the unprecedented contractions in real Gross Domestic Product predicted for the key European countries and Britain, these assertions from the IMF's Managing Director fly in the face of all available evidence, even though the British Chancellor of the Exchequer used similar language recently (and was ridiculed for his pains).
GOLD, CHINA, RUSSIA & BRAZIL'S $1.0 TRILLION TAKEN FROM DISGORGED BUSH LOOT
So what on earth could M. Strauss-Kahn have been talking about? Here's the likely answer:
(1) That the International Monetary Fund has acquired a large volume of gold which went for smelting very recently, has been separately confirmed by several key sources.
(2) The Wall Street Journal reported on 25th April that China, Brazil and Russia are to purchase the IMF's first-ever bond denominated in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). This is the IMF's own unit of denomination, consisting of nothing but its name. It is backed by NOTHING WHATSOEVER. (Certain IMF statistics are denominated in SDRs, so that the poor analyst has to translate the numbers into dollars in order to get a 'handle' on what they mean).
• FACT: Assets denominated in SDRs will be as FRAUDULENT as the worthless 'toxic' derivatives with which we are familiar, since the SDR has no backing whatsoever and exists only in name. If, as we suspect, the intention is to launch this new SDR-denominated bond as a prelude to introducing a new generation of 'asset' which can be exploited along lines similar to the derivatives, the seeds have been sown for a NEW BUBBLE, which will implode just like the derivatives bubble.
And the IMF's reputation and standing will be destroyed along with the SDR bond mountain that we believe is liable to take off as a consequence of this duplicitous 'smoke and mirrors' arrangement. The phrase 'money laundering' of course also springs readily to mind.
(3) Brazil is reported by The Wall Street Journal to be contributing up to $1.0 trillion which will be used to purchase these IMF Special Drawing Right-denominated bonds. BUT SEE BELOW...
(4) All of a sudden, the IMF has started signalling not only that 'the worst may now be over', but that global economic growth will be restored starting late this year and into 2010.
(5) China's reserves of gold have risen very sharply, from around 600 tonnes, to over 1000 tonnes.

tommy: DIRECTOR MUELLER AT FBI HQ....can you audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox?

RECONSTRUCTION OF WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE
It will be recalled that China, having obtained lien power from the World Court, demanded that the United States pay debts owed to it following the expiry of the 70-year maturity period of historical debts which the United States had reneged on and which may have explained the stealing of The Queen's gold that we exposed in 2007, an operation that had to be aborted after our exposure, and the consequent restoration of the gold to its rightful owner.
Very recently, the Chinese declined to accept US currency or Treasuries, and tensions rose to fever pitch when President Obama reportedly 'refused' a Chinese demand that the United States must pay China in gold, a state of affairs that reconfirmed that China has lost confidence in the US dollar. China demanded that its payment must be 'guaranteed': and the only guaranteed means of payment is in gold. We therefore believe that what has taken place is the following:
• The large volume of gold recently 'acquired' by the IMF and smelted as always happens when the Fund acquires gold, has been credited for the account of CHINA, fulfilling China's requirement.
• To satisfy the other side of the balance sheet, Brazil, as noted above, will suddenly be funding the IMF to the colossal tune of $1.0 trillion. This is FAR MORE than Brazil owns, which is why not a lot has emerged about this deal (certainly, nothing on that score that the Editor has been able to pick up in the Press Room and at the various meetings he has so far attended). So where has this huge sum of money suddenly materialised from?
• Answer: From hidden Bush Crime Family diverted and stolen funds stashed in Brazil.
In other words, the corners of this 'smoke and mirrors' triangle consists of China, the IMF and Brazil. Which helps to explain a number of recent developments, viz:
• The appearance of President Obama at the recent Organization of American States (OAS) meeting in Mexico, although of course this was a pre-arranged forum. But these meetings are in fact the outer face of what goes on behind the scenes. Deals were being done below the radar (including drug-trafficking and laundering transactions) as is always the case on these occasions.
• The fanfare with which the G-20 was 'relaunched' in London on 2nd April, when the Brazilian President Lula was seen hobnobbing with Presidents and Royalty at Buckingham Palace. All of a sudden, Brazil is on the map, but NOT for the reasons commonly supposed. No. The reason Brazil has 'risen' in the hierarchy of nations is that the Brazilian Government appears to have been very diligent in cooperating to freeze and confiscate the Bush Crime Octopus's ill-gotten funds which have been accumulated in Brazilian institutions.
UPDATE, SUNDAY 26TH APRIL: 5:00pm EST: TRIANGLE ALREADY COMING UNSTUCK?
Notwithstanding the accuracy of the foregoing (reconfirmed to us on Sunday afternoon), the new arrangements to get the White House off the hook and able to exploit trading as intended, seemed ALREADY TO BE COMING UNSTUCK ON SUNDAY. Two days earlier, the Brazilian Finance Minister attending the Spring Meetings, Guido Mantega, apparently dismissed the substance of the Fund's proposed sale of bonds denominated in SDRs as 'insufficient' and 'premature'. However this was not revealed until the 26th, implying that the Brazilians had woken up to the likelihood that they have been pressurised to provide the third side of the triangle against their better judgment.
Should the Brazilians demur (which seems likely), the situation will be completely out of control since one element of the surreptitious 'smoke and mirrors' gold and money laundering operation will have been completed without the corresponding, albeit fraudulent, matching transaction.
Mantega was also reported by Bloomberg (on Sunday) as having said that any contributions by the four largest developing nations would be 'provisional', pending reforms that would increase their say in the forum of the International Monetary Fund. Because the United States is now beholden to these countries, the US Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, said in a Treasury statement issued in the Press Room that he supports a 'realignment' of power in the Fund to reflect 'the realities of the global economy', along with a reduction of the number of IMF Board Members from 24 to 20.
That won't please the Europeans, especially the British, one little bit.
WHERE THE $1.0 TRILLION IS FEATURED IN THE G-7 COMMUNIQUE
The 'Statement of the G-7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors' Meeting' dated 24th April carefully included a reference to the $1.0 trillion, in a sudden outbreak of 'transparency'. Actually, what we observe is 'candor', which should NEVER be confused with TRUTH.
The text states:
'We welcome progress being made in mobilizing temporary bilateral financing for the IMF; this financing will be rolled over into the IMF's New Arrangements to Borrow, which in turn will be increased by up to $500 billion and see its membership expanded. We will work to implement the $250 billion general SDR allocation, as well as to use the additional resources from the IMF's agreed gold sales to support the poorest, consistent with the IMF's new income model. We are implementing the initiative to provide at least $250 billion in trade finance'.
• Total: $1.0 trillion.
The next paragraph begins: 'We welcome the IMF's introduction of new facilities, such as the Flexible Credit Line...'. This is to be another element of the new use that is to be made of SDRs, involving monthly credit extensions which could be construed as inflationary and will certainly underpin the intended exploitation of SDR-denominated bonds/assets that we detect.
IMF ARRANGEMENT THOUGHT TO REPLACE THE LOMBARD ODIER SCHEME
It is further believed that our exposure of the Lombard Odier Swiss guaranteed insurance wrap arrangement which was to have been operated in conjunction with the known CIA operative or asset Warren Buffett, literally 'blew' that scheme, which may explain the apparent earlier intent of the White House and therefore the IMF not to respond to this Editor's routine application for press accreditation for this Spring Meeting (which was in turn apparently 'blown' when we indicated that this would free up the Editor to criticise the IMF and the World Bank, which is quite hard to do if you are at the same time accepting their generous hospitality).
The present analysis criticises the arrangement that is identified here, but it should be borne in mind that the Fund jumps to the command of the White House, whatever may be alleged to the contrary. The World Bank is of course a creature of the White House, and is currently fronted by the rather competent but colourless CIA operative Mr Robert Zoellick. Listening to Robert Zoellick on Saturday, the Editor formed the view that he has a very good grasp of his responsibilities and brief.
Anyway, the point here is this:
• The IMF SDR bond arrangement, financed by disgorged Bush Crime Family money from Brazil, effectively REPLACES the Lombard Odier scheme which collapsed after we had exposed it.
• It is designed with White House approval (hence Lula's recently publicised close association with President Obama) to provide the new platform which is to be used to launch the fresh generation of 'assets' which (we believe) will soon grow up 'alongside' revived 'legacy assets' until these have been 'successfully' transferred onto the US Treasury's books, in exchange for the 'new generation' of exotic Treasury 'legacy' instruments' with extremely long maturities, probably varying from 30 to 45 or even 50 years out into the future. But there will be no 'legacy', since the 'Trashets' exchanged for these exotic US Treasury instruments will have no value, just as the paper that replaces them will have no value (i.e. their backing will be spurious).
The idea that such trash will be 'worth something worthwhile' in 25 years' time is deviant stupidity. Incidentally, Paul Volcker has told the President to his face that Mr Geithner's arrangements are absolutely unacceptable and, by implication, fraudulent.
With the new IMF 'Flexible Credit Line' in place, the prospect and probable intention is for outside parties quickly to become involved as counterparties, so that the International Monetary Fund will henceforth become the central player in what we foresee to be a new generation of exotic funding which, as noted above, will be JUST AS FRAUDULENT AS DERIVATIVES given that Special Drawing Rights are backed by nothing at all, except the very favourable standing of the Fund, which will be destroyed when the Fund's reputation collapses along with the prospective SDR bond bubble.
WITH CHINA OUT OF THE WAY AND THE WHITE HOUSE'S DEMANDS 'SATISFIED', WHAT NEXT?
If this analysis is correct, China has been dealt with and the Geithner arrangements are in the process, as a direct result of developments during the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings and the transfer of the huge volume of gold to China which we think occurred on 24th April, of being given the kiss of life, having shown (as we predicted) every sign of being stillborn. With the IMF at the centre of the carousel, revival of the derivatives sector so that these false assets can at least be transferred progressively onto the Treasury's books as described, may proceed, and Mr Geithner needn't be fired immediately. Paul Volcker, who made a number of very sober comments at the seminar that the Editor attended on Saturday, won't be amused, but he's not at the White House.
In particular, Volcker will be chagrined that the SDR, backed by zilch, is to become the new asset of preference, exploitable as was never intended, without any discernible steps being taken to back it by anything except the existing air which sustains it. No doubt Paul Volcker will be having further words with the President on this score. The IMF's credit lines will extend credit based on NOTHING. And Volcker will doubtless be pointing out that even though the Oval Office and the Treasury will be associated with the Fund in this venture, that doesn't make what is being proposed any less fraudulent. It simply incorporates the International Monetary Fund as an institutional co-conspirator in the blatant perpetration of financial fraud against future generations of Americans.
And to use the unbacked SDR as the lynch-pin for the refunding of the whole world seems to us to be inviting a catastrophe which, despite all the waffle that the Editor has so far listened to at these Spring Meetings, will, once again, NOT BE ANTICIPATED.
Because as with Geithner Plan Number One, the Treasury will be accumulating vast quantities of completely unnecessary debt which could be avoided if it were to come to its senses and permit implementation within the United States of the G-7-Approved private sector Refunding Programme using the LOAN funds provided for the purpose but which had to be withdrawn effective from 29th January 2009 because President Obama broke his signed, formal undertakings on that score: and so far as the sovereign lenders were concerned, 19 months of glaring, in-your-face, US criminalist abuse of their funds was enough, thank you very much.
SENSE THAT 'SOLUTIONS' ARE DRIVEN BY LUST TO REVITALISE TRADING
We have a distinct sense from all this that the exotic IMF arrangements outlined here represent compromises reached in order to astisfy the White House, rather than objective solutions that have been brought forward in order to meet the needs of the International Monetary Fund's constituent government clients. This perspective is reinforced by the obvious fact that what is discussed for the consumption of the world's press here is the front-facing information that is presented to the people, and which masks the sordid deals and trade-offs, that are reached behind the scenes.
This has been more obvious than usual this year, because on the several occasions when the Editor has so far been allowed to ask why he never hears words like Fraudulent Finance, Ponzi Schemes and criminal enterprise etc. mentioned, the point has been taken politely (for instance by the Governor of the Bank of Canada and also, separately, by the Finance Minister for Zambia) but then wholly dropped, with the rest of the answer focused on the 'line', which is all about how the Fund and the 'rich' countries are 'responding' to the crisis.
In other words, discussion of the criminal, fraudulent CAUSE of the calamity, and of the fact that this is a CRIMINAL FINANCE crisis first and foremost, rather than primarily a systemic crisis, is taboo.
And the reason for THAT is that the White House, CONTRARY to advice tendered by Paul Volcker, but of course influenced by the Clintons (for heaven's sake) intends to reconstitute the carousel and the Fraudulent Finance operations, come what may. It is impervious to common sense. And its boss, the National Security Council, which controls the CIA controllers, tells Obama what to do.
NEXT STEP: THE SETTLEMENTS, OR SOME OF THEM...
Which leaves the Settlements, or some of them. Here we observe that the stimulus money that the President 'fought for' as though he was still fighting the election, HAS NOT MATERIALISED.
On 20th April, the Editor was informed that the US States were expecting to be paid stimulus funds that had been agreed upon, for them to finance infrastructure and other projects, as well as some welfare payments, and that the payments to the US States were due that week.
On 25th April, the Editor learned that Pennsylvania HAD TO BORROW $480 million, just to finance its immediate unemployment benefit obligations, subject to receipt of $18 billion pledged to it by the Federal Government, much of which is urgently need to fill an immense hole in its public employee pension arrangements, clearly implying that the payments to the US States had NOT taken place.
In some supermarket stores, there are hardly any customers. New York City diners that the Editor uses that were full of clientele even the last time he was in the United States in March, are almost empty much of the time. THE STIMULUS MONEY IS OR WAS, NOT AVAILABLE.
In the light of the foregoing developments (China out of the way and the White House having stitched up a variant of the Geithner Plan without in fact telling anyone), certain Settlements payments will probably now go ahead, and the States may finally get their delayed stimulus money.
Moreover the deliberate talking-up of the prospects for recovery late this year and into 2010 by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, in the face of quite appalling data and further shocks which can be seen lurking on the horizon, tells us that the Trustees who have been told to be on standby this time may actually find that they are paid and can 'spend' their funds.
We cannot enter into ANY second-guessing as to which categories of recipient may be paid, as it is not even certain that these deductions are solid (although as a first-hand, on-the-spot observer here in Washington, the Editor has a clear sense that they are). Quite apart from anything else, if there are any further problems, M. Strauss-Kahn is going to have egg all over his face in short order, so that any ambition he may harbour of succeeding M. Sarkozy will not be realised.
THE LATEST OFFICIAL DERIVATIVES NUMBERS
The IMF's latest Financial Stability Report was not available from the printers but the Statistical Appendix was obtained. Table 4 shows that the notional value of derivatives contracts outstanding at end-June 2008, using Bank for International Settlements statistics adjusted for double-counting, stood at $683,725 billion, compared with $595,407 billion six months earlier.
Thus the notional value of these (actually worthless) 'trashets' rose by nearly $90 trillion ahead of the 'lockdown' of the $14.0 trillion in mid-September 2008 which occurred as the direct result of the advice we gave that the exploitation of the loan funds since 19th-20th June 2007 when they were first made available, was quite intolerable and should be made to cease by having the loan funds withdrawn. This advice was accepted. The rest is history.
As recently as the end of June 2006, the notional value of derivatives 'assets' outstanding, was $370,178 billion: so the volume doubled in the two years to mid-2008. Since the carousel stalled in mid-September 2008 (although compounding will have continued), the really interesting number will only surface into the public domain this time next year in the IMF data.
QUANTIFIED EUROPEAN BANK LOSSES
An IMF Working Paper which was the subject of the mentioned seminar, entitled 'Financial Stability Frameworks and the Role of Central Banks: Lessons from the Crisis', by Erlend Wlater Nier, shows quantified losses arising from the crisis attributed to banks in key European countries.
The figures shown are as follows: Banks in Italy, $2.4 billion; Netherlands, $12.1 billion; France, $25.1 billion; Belgium, $10.8 billion; Switzerland, $54.3 billion; United Kingdom, $61.3 billion; and Germany, $56.0 billion. It should be pointed out also that European banks are compliant with the Basel-II requirements monitored and brokered by the Bank for International Settlements.
Yet European banks (especially the big German and British banks) have accumulated even larger portfolios of rubbish fraudulent assets than even the US banks that we have described as criminal enterprises. How come, then, that the big US money center banks are not or have not been Basel-II compliant when some of the European banks which are in an even worse position, are compliant?
UK TREASURY TAKING EXPENSIVE LESSONS FROM BANKERS REPONSIBLE FOR THE CHAOS
One could go on for ever identifying the stupidities and aberrations of these people, but we'll close with some revealing information published in The Times, of London, very recently, in an instance of the 'mainstream' here doing a first-rate job. The report revealed that the British Treasury is paying vast fees, thought to have exceeded $150 million to date, to the very bankers whose 'irresponsible' behaviour has resulted inter alia in the British Government having to increase its indebtedness in the space of the year to come, by more than the entire volume of debt incurred by the Government of the United Kingdom since it first started borrowing from the Bank of England in 1692.
Specifically, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse and Citibank have all been hired at enormous cost as advisers to the Treasury, suggesting that the Treasury has lost control and basically had no idea what was going on in its own bailiwick. The Credit Suisse team is based at Canary Wharf, the new high-rise financial sector development to the East of the City of London, but decamps regularly to the Treasury. Its team consists of at least 20 people. The Deutsche Bank team of four experts in Fraudulent Finance includes an Irish dealmaker who advised Barclays on its failed bid for ABN Amro. Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank alone are believed to have scooped $100 million sterling equivalent between them, and separate fees are being shelled out to Citigroup, which had to be bailed out by the US authorities.
The impression to be gained from this exposure is that the British Treasury had no clue what was happening, and so was completely taken by surprise by the events of mid-September 2008 and their consequences: which probably explains why the British Treasury is staggered that a solution exists which has the capacity to reliquify the banks without incurring any Treasury debt while at the same time delivering massive windfall tax accruals to the Exchequer.
• It's called trading on the books.
• UPDATE: 27TH APRIL: 9:00pm EST: IMPORTANT CLOSING POSTSCRIPT:
As a general rule, when divisions arising at these international meetings are openly reported in the ‘mainstream’ media, the disagreements alluded to do not reflect the specific underlying tensions accurately. The cracks in the parched ground at the surface appear narrow, masking cavernous voids beneath. Such seems to be the outcome of the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings ending in Washington, DC, on Sunday, amid considerable dissension and acrimony.
Simply put, with at least $34 trillion having been stolen and diverted by the Bush Crime Nexus, nothing like the total has yet been recovered under Obama, who knew about this state of affairs long before the Inauguration, has had more than his first 100 days to impose his will on the grim situation and to remove all who have been standing in the way of the resolution, and has failed to deliver.
Accordingly, the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings 2009 took place essentially in a financial vacuum. No mention whatever was made of these colossal thefts, and the Editor detected only one obscure hint of the criminal dimension – indicating with crystal clarity that the Fund operates in a virtual environment, the parameters of which are dictated (we know for a fact) by the White House.
For public consumption, the world's press has got hold of the idea that the divisions between the financial powers that surfaced at the Spring Meetings concerned inter alia a failure to agree upon how to raise $500 billion in additional funding for the International Monetary Fund that was pledged at Gordon Brown’s G-20 jamboree at Canning Town, London, on 2nd April. It appears that over $300 billion has been ‘pledged’; but as we all know, ‘pledges’ and undertakings, following untold years of double-cross, lies and duplicity by the US Treasury, are devoid of all meaning. Deceit is catching, and, like pig flu, it’s become a worldwide epidemic. So far, no actual hard money (with the possible exception of a Japanese amount) has been forthcoming. It’s been all talk and very little action.
A second reported dispute that erupted during the Spring Meetings concerned the vexed issue of representation on the Board of the International Monetary Fund. Here, the open press reports, and the buzz in the Press Room, was that China, Brazil and India are throwing their new weight around by expressing reservations about their prospective and ASSUMED (by the United States and the IMF) participation in the exotic IMF funding arrangements described in part above, pending a full reform of their ‘quotas’ in the Bretton Woods institutions that represent their voting power, and an expansion of their status. The Times of London summed up the position, as perceived for public consumption, thus: ‘Along with other emerging market nations, China is reluctant to make bigger financial commitments in the IMF without being allowed a much greater part in decision-making at the Fund and its sister body the World Bank’.
Additionally, tensions emerged above the radar over attempts to persuade more countries to make one-off crisis contributions to the Fund’s resources, or to increase their existing commitments: the word ‘commitment’ in this unpleasant environment being meaningless: collectivization is admired in theory by these brainwashed socialist ideologues, but resisted in actual practice when it comes to forking out hard cash. And really, since there's a money famine, where's the incentive?
And following years of the rampant, in-your-face corruption orchestrated by the Bush Crime Family (for DVD, Dachau) working hand-in-glove with his top criminal trader, Dr Alan Greenspan – with the Bush dimension of the DVD-controlled element of the CIA secretly financing the ‘Islamic Terror’ operation, while Greenspan, assisted these days, one suspects, by Rahm Emanuel, presides over the secret funding of the opposite dimension of the dialectic, namely the hardened Israeli Nazi war party – the whole world has been corrupted, and the dirty tricks and duplicity deployed by the US criminalist intelligence gangs are being replicated by other powers, notably the big emerging ones.
(Encouragingly, the new Israeli Government has just explicitly stated that it will not be so stupid as to attack Iran; but the underlying objective of getting the United States to do Israel’s dirty work in the Middle East, remains unchanged).
Some of the new ‘big players’, notably Brazil, still need training in how to recognise that they are being targeted by US ‘Black Arts’ operatives into making ‘commitments’ that they’ll come to regret. Thus, as soon as it became known (two days after the event) that the Brazilian Finance Minister, Guido Montaga, had expressed reservations (about the rôle assigned to Brazil as described in this report), we formed the impression that the Brazilians had got decidedly cold feet, having belatedly realised that they may have been dragooned into what will inevitably turn out to be a typical US ‘bait and switch’ stitch-up. If they have 'twigged' that they are being duped, they are learning fast.
Given the sophistication of routine US official duplicity, the rule these new powers should follow without deviation is: don’t make commitments or agree to anything with the Americans that you don’t feel comfortable with, which in practice means that you must have the ‘money in the bank’ before signing up for anything that Washington tries to stick to you. That may well mean not doing deals with these people at all, certainly not without a very long (Green)spoon.
In this connection, the ‘mainstream’ media got the entire dynamic back to front. Quoting the London Times one more time, ‘China, Brazil and India led developing nations in forcing through measures under which the IMF will sell bonds on world markets to raise additional funding as an alternative to some countries offering longer-term loans’.
In reality, the scheme to sell SDR-denominated bonds was concocted to complete the corrupt triangle described above under pressure from the White House which tells the IMF in general, and Dominique Strauss-Kahn in particular, what to do. And this White House is taking its instructions from Bush 41 and Greenspan. This information comes from impeccable sources.
• It is consistent with this Editor’s elaboration above that ‘developments’ at the Spring Meetings were driven by the imperatives laid down by the White House and NOT by the needs of the IMF’s constituent Governments. Which means that the IMF is PERVERTING ITS JOB.
Moreover since the basis of the putative arrangements is rotten, as described, it is NO SURPRISE that no sooner have they been deconstructed (by us), than they start to unravel. In this connection, not only have the Brazilians allowed their acute reservations and nervousness about being set up by the Americans to be known, but it has been specifically reported to us that the Chinese have been advised not to touch the IMF’s proposed SDR bonds with a thousand-foot bargepole.
Which of course probably means that the SDR-denominated bond scheme, like the Lombard Odier insurance-wrap scheme and the Geithner-Paulson-Obama operation on behalf of the ‘privileged’ to revalidate the moribund and dead derivatives sector so that the crooks can recover their currently unrealisable ‘value’, leaving future US generations holding the bag, won’t get off the ground either.
This postscript analysis is closing because the Editor is now suddenly in receipt of dramatic further information which will more conveniently be publicised in a separate report that is being started immediately. Thank you for your attention!

NEW REPORT FROM THE IMF/WORLD BANK SPRING MEETINGS STARTS HERE:
Washington, DC:
CALENDAR OF PERTINENT EVENTS FROM 8TH APRIL
In order to understand what we believe to have occurred with respect to 'the Settlements' as viewed from the Press Room here at the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, we will first sumarise what sources reported to us from 8th April onwards....
• 8th April 2009: Michael Wise, the former Chairman of Silverado Savings and Loan, was reported by The Denver Post [on 14th April: note the huge time delay] to have jumped from the 9th Floor of a parking garage at Tampa International Airport. This information was reported by Henry Poage, of the Hillsborough Medical Examiner's Office. According to this source, Mr Wise drove a rental car to the ninth floor of the short-term parking garage.
The Medical Examiner's Office 'ruled that the death was a suicide', explaining that a security video shows Wise pacing, before stepping off the side and landing in a landscaped area with palm trees and some greenery, according to Tampa International Airport spokeswoman Brenda Geoghagan. Wise was taken to hospital but died in the emergency room at 1:39pm. So we are to believe that a report which did not surface for a week after the event is accurate in all respects, even though if one were to be determined to commit suicide, hiring a car beforehand might be considered very odd, while surviving a nine-story fall even into some greenery is highly improbable.
This 'suicide' must be considered in the context of the spate of Clintonesque murders that have been taking place, as the crooks try to 'clean up the playground' so that the massive unravelling of their financial criminality that is now in full swing will encounter as many 'dead ends' as possible. There are 'connections' with the death of Mr Wise that are believed to be spectacular.
• 15th April, 10:22 pm UK time: Notwithstanding that he is under indictment, George H. W. Bush Sr. was STILL attempting to move funds irregularly on this date, in response to which Euroclear was shut down so that anticipated or identified irregular financial movements would not take place. We speculated internally that this development might also be connected with a Chinese lien on funds.
• 17th April, 10:15pm UK time: It was reported to us that the Bush Crime Family had summoned a 'top-level' meeting in Texas, to which key co-conspirators with Bush Sr. and Dr Alan Greenspan, his chief trader, were invited. A significant number of Bush Sr.'s leading foreign co-conspiratorial assets who flew to Dallas or Houston for the meeting were reportedly apprehended at the airport. This meeting was believed to have been summoned because of the need to repatriate funds.
This is consistent with earlier reports of key parties falling below the radar. For instance, a Dallas-based broker-Trustee who had been in DIRECT and continuing touch with the Editor of this service for at least two and a half years, sending emails describing 'imminent payment scenarios' which were always disappointed, has not been heard from since 11th April 2009. On that date, he had commented very sensibly on the situation that seemed about to arise if the IMF had been minded to impede, on the instructions of the White House, the Editor's press accreditation for the Spring Meetings. (This was the serious situation referenced in our reports dated 13th/14th April).
On 14th April 2009, the Editor sent emails to this contact, which bounced. Altogether, we sent nine emails spaced over a period of days, and they have all bounced. The return emails contain an NSA code which is intended to indicate that the contact was now prohibited from communicating with us. In other words, the 'loop' of information using us as the fulcrum had outlived its usefulness, and was closed down, implying some change or other in the overall situation.
This episode will be incorporated in a detailed but separate study on the innumerable deception techniques and operations to which the Editor has been subjected throughout these extensive investigations. More broadly, the closing down of this information 'loop', reaching straight back to Bush Sr., we have solid reason to believe, could be interpreted as a positive sign of progress.
Such techniques are used in intelligence to gauge how a particular deception is performing, and whether it should be continue or be modified. It was clearly felt that communicating with the Editor would facilitate the feedback that these people thought they needed, to see how far they could push their thievery. But following the G-20 meeting in the London area, the situation changed.
We should clarify here the earlier information about Greenspan's latest arrest. It was specifically reported, and confirmed, that this crook had been arrested and was incarcerated for a 30-day period pending a hearing before a Magistrate Judge. It is possible that when our sources speak of 'arrests' at this level, what may actually be meant here is 'apprehended'.
The fact that Greenspan reportedly delivered one or more speeches which overlapped the period of alleged incarceration is not material, as he has a speech-writing team and could have submitted papers before these events. However much one may dig around looking for further and better particulars, though, a veil is usually drawn over these arrests of such prominent operatives.
Neverethless, Dr Greenspoon, like Bush Sr., is reported to us to be under indictment. That's what matters in view of what follows. In addition, following the G-20 jamboree, we received at least half a dozen reports of further extensive arrests, both in Europe and in North America.
• 21st April, 9.35pm UK time: It is reported that (a) 'a lot more arrests' have taken place during the day and possibly earlier, and that (b) George H. W. Bush Sr. and Greenspan intervened OPENLY to block settlement moves, apparently in the most brazen manner. The explanation given to us was that with Vice-President Biden in charge of the National Security Council, which tells the President of the United States what to do [see the preceding report], and Biden working with the Clintons who are close long-term collaborators (and simultaneously enemies) of the Bush Crime Nexus, Bush Sr. may assume that he remains inviolable, EVEN THOUGH HE IS UNDER INDICTMENT.
21st April: For the first time, the Editor learns that the International Monetary Fund has acquired a large volume of gold for smelting. (When the Fund acquires gold, it is smelted immediately). These reports, from impeccable sources, could not specify the SOURCE of the gold acquired by the Fund.

__________________
At the Spring Meetings, the Editor has attempted to ascertain the answer to this question, so far without success. Obviously, parallels with the stealing of The Queen's gold on 29th-30th March 2007 suggested themselves, but after consideration we did not suspect there had been any such repetition: those involved got a nasty shock when that theft was publicised by this service, and the gold had to be restored. So the issue remained, for the time being, up in the air.
Nevertheless, the Editor formulated the following question, which he had intended to attempt to ask the Managing Director of the IMF (but unfortunately, again, at a Press Conference on Saturday, the IMF convenor appeared deliberately NOT to call the Editor of this service). The question would have been:
'What is the source of the gold reportedly acquired and being smelted by the IMF, and are IMF tax-exempt accounts being used to hide diverted or stolen funds, or have they been used for these purposes in the past?'.

• 22nd April 2009: The Editor learns that David Kellermann, aged 41, the Chief Financial Officer of Freddie Mac, was found dead by his wife this morning. The news surfaced on the US broadcast media at about 9:30 am EST: so at least, compared with the Wise 'suiciding' that occurred on 8th April but was not reported by The Denver Post until 14th April, no attempt was made to hold back this sinister news. But everything else that surfaced (and has not yet been publicised in the so-called 'mainstream' media), is distinctly sinister. Thus:
• Mr Kellerman asked for protection (i.e. he'd been threatened) but received only very light cover.
• Mr Kellerman was sent home for two weeks. (Reason: they couldn't 'get at him' while he was out and about so they needed him to be in a fixed location, our informants advised us at the time).
• Mr Kellerman shot himself and after he had shot himself he hanged himself [sic]. This is a feat which not even Houdini in all his glory could ever have achieved.
First, Kellerman was reported to have been found hanged. However special information received from reliable sources by this service indicates that the was SHOT FIRST, AND THEN HANGED.
Mrs Kellerman informed local media that her husband had committed suicide.
• As you can imagine, there is far more behind this hideous event than has surfaced. Indeed, the imperative to prevent Mr Kellerman testifying to what has been going on, which can conveniently be summarised as THE WHOLESALE STEALING OF ASSETS FOR COLLATERALISATION AND TRADING PURPOSES, would appear to have been so intense that he 'had to be liquidated'.
In March 2009, Freddie Mac disclosed that it was being investigated by the US Attorney's Office in Virginia, and had been supoenaed for documents related to accounting disclosure and corporate governance issues back to September 2008, which was precisely when, as previously advised, the $14.0 trillion of assets belonging to sovereign parties was placed into 'lockdown' (between 10th and 12th September), followed by the 'triple gunshot threat' left on the Editor's voicemail and the warning that the Editor should be careful on his forthcoming visit to Washington for the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in October 2008. Special protection was provided throughout that visit.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is also conducting an investigation into Freddie Mac, and has interviewed staff. A spokesman for Freddie Mac stated on 22nd April 2009 that the institution 'knows of no connection between this personal tragedy and the ongoing regulatory enquiries': which seems quite extraordinary, since what has so far been revealed is just the tip of the most immense iceberg in the Northern Hemisphere, we understand.
As indicated in the Update of 22nd April appended to our report dated 14th April, we are now in the Third Clinton Administration, with no checks and balances evident. The Clintion operatives have reverted to their usual form: liquidations. So far during the Spring Meetings, the Editor has heard no mention of the two 'suicides' referenced above, even though anyone who has not completely squashed their brains by sitting on them too hard must sense that these 'Black' developments are directly and specifically related to the headlong unravelling of the criminal finance Octopus.
• Note: Although the Clintons' ill-gotten gains are believed to have been frozen (explaining why Bill is hardly rushing to the financial assistance of his CIA wife who has recently been described by another source as being more senior within the CIA than William Jefferson), they appear to have been attempting to use blackmail, the trade-off being 'release our funds and we'll cooperate'.
• 23rd April: We are informed that 147 key figures involved in the thefts and corruption have again been advised that they face indictment, and that NONE can rely on any prospect of immunity. This is the same number of indictments, or potential indictments, that were mooted back in 2007, but that went nowhere because of the usual high-level interference with law enforcement. However on this occasion, the information was accompanied by the following further elaboration:
• The 147 co-conspirators (including a large number of very well-known names) were told that if diverted funds were not 'restored' by close of business EST on Friday 24th April 2009, they would be arrested. We were separately advised that:
• Relevant law enforcement personnel (US Marshals) were IN PLACE ALL OVER WASHINGTON effective from 6.00pm on Friday 24th April, to effect the arrests. A large number of arrests was thought to be imminent, presumably if the stolen funds had not been 'restored'.
• 23rd April: Hywel Jones, 55, a former Natwest banker, former prominent Director of the Bankers' Association of the Bahamas and of the Bahamas Institute of Bankers, is shot in the back of the head by a sole gunman waiting in ambush outside the office of his offshore financial services company in Nassau, capital of the Bahamas. The 'slim, dark male' gunman escaped on a motorcycle.
On 25th April, Mr Jones, from Wales, was reported to be critically ill in a coma and was under police guard after having undergone emergency surgery.
It is believed that the bullet passed through his head. Mr Jones was arriving for work when he was shot. This is now thought to be a Stanford-connected liquidation. Recall that Stanford's lone British accountant on Antigua, whose accounting contract with Stanford ended on 31st December 2008, died suddenly and mysteriously on New Year's Day.
There are no coincidences when imploding cascades of crimes unravel like this...
• 24th April: In the context of the US banks' so-called 'stress tests', it has transpired that these institutions are now formally considered to be 100% liable for their off-balance sheet 'assets'.
This 'clarification' has inevitably emerged because of the convoluted Geithner scheme whereby what are now suddenly being called 'legacy assets' are supposedly to be revalidated, following the devastating 'shock' delivered to the derivatives environment when interbank market liquidity, with the exception of drug money, dried up following the events of 10th-12th September 2008.
The problem that the designers of Geithner's original scheme may not have factored in to their thinking in the rush to develop a formula which would enable the White House and its cronies to retain control of trading (according to the underlying thinking here) was that if those fraudulent assets are to be revalidated, the banks' liabilities remain intact. (The same would apply even if, as we expect, Geithnerism collapses in ignominy, as there will be, as we predicted, few, if any 'takers' for repackaged 'formerly toxic' assets remarketed to restart the collapsed derivatives system).
Anyway, the upshot of this is that since the banks are liable for the fraudulent off-balance sheet assets, this means in practice that the off-balance sheet assets are in effect on-balance sheet! So this appears to be another case of shooting oneself and then hanging oneself afterwards.
But the situation has CHANGED during the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings as will be explained.
• 24th April: The Editor attends a Press Conference off the Press Room given by the Canadian Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Canada. The meeting was held in between sessions of the Group of Seven (G-7). The Editor was able to take the microphone, and asked why discussions at these meetings were focused on repairing a broken financial system by attempting to restore the integrity of 'Structured Products' (derivatives) which had been demonstrated to be worthless and fraudulent inter alia because there is NO RECOURSE to the underlying source of real money (e.g. from the original mortgagor).
• It was tantamount to repairing a collapsed building with faulty cement.
The Editor pointed out that the Bank of Canada (unspoken, of course: which was deeply involved in dodgy financial operations preceding this crisis) and the Ministry of Finance know perfectly well that derivatives assets are fraudulent. He concluded by mentioning that 'there IS a straightforward solution: it's called trading on the books'.
At this, the room erupted and the Governor commented: 'I thought there'd be a question like this, which is why a representative from the G-7 is at this meeting'! The clear implication was that the Governor of the Bank of Canada knows all about the G-7-Approved private sector Dollar System Refunding Programme using sovereign LOAN funds referenced in earlier reports, which would reliquefy the banks ON THE BOOKS, deliver massive ongoing taxation accruals to the US Treasury (and to the British Treasury as this programme is to be run from London, and trading funds held within the UK financial jurisdiction for 24 hours are liable for UK tax).
However after these comments, the Governor reverted to his script consistently with the 'line' at these meetings, which is to avoid all references to Fraudulent Finance, Ponzi Schemes, criminal operations, diversion, the Bush Crime Family and stealing of funds, and the ransacking of private monies which these people know all about but which are taboo subjects in these refined circles.
• 24th April: The Editor is informed that key Trustees have been put 'on standby' for payment in the coming week, starting on Monday. This would be consistent with the requirement imposed on the 147 perpetrators for stolen and diverted funds to be 'restored' by close of business on 24th April. As of 9.00pm EST on Saturday evening in the Press Room, where this report was being prepared, the Editor had not received any information about arrests having taken place.
• FACT: What normally happens is that these sequences follow a standard pattern, and that when the payments are anticipated WITHOUT draconian action having been taken, as on this occasion (?), the payments are aborted. So, pending confirmation of remittances (which may well be quite hard to come by) it won't be possible to tell whether this nightmare is indeed coming to an end.
• 25th April: HOWEVER, M. Dominique Strauss-Khan, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, told the media repeatedly on Saturday that 'green shoots of recovery' HAVE been detected and that the Fund's view, thanks to substantial 'progress' which he says has been made at these meetings [see below], is that these will mature into signs of real recovery by around the third quarter, with tangible growth emerging in the first half of 2010.
WHAT LIES BEHIND STRAUSS-KAHN'S CONFIDENCE IN RECOVERY?
This makes no sense whatsoever in view of facts such as that a further five million foreclosures are anticipated in the United States in due course, with obvious implications for unemployment and consumption, while losses sustained to date arising from the crisis are now estimated in the many trillions of dollars. The Editor learned at one meeting, held in the IMF Governors' Board Room, that the total value of new development contracts worldwide that have actually been cancelled since September last year exceeds $1,600 billion. And given the unprecedented contractions in real Gross Domestic Product predicted for the key European countries and Britain, these assertions from the IMF's Managing Director fly in the face of all available evidence, even though the British Chancellor of the Exchequer used similar language recently (and was ridiculed for his pains).
GOLD, CHINA, RUSSIA & BRAZIL'S $1.0 TRILLION TAKEN FROM DISGORGED BUSH LOOT
So what on earth could M. Strauss-Kahn have been talking about? Here's the likely answer:
(1) That the International Monetary Fund has acquired a large volume of gold which went for smelting very recently, has been separately confirmed by several key sources.
(2) The Wall Street Journal reported on 25th April that China, Brazil and Russia are to purchase the IMF's first-ever bond denominated in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). This is the IMF's own unit of denomination, consisting of nothing but its name. It is backed by NOTHING WHATSOEVER. (Certain IMF statistics are denominated in SDRs, so that the poor analyst has to translate the numbers into dollars in order to get a 'handle' on what they mean).
• FACT: Assets denominated in SDRs will be as FRAUDULENT as the worthless 'toxic' derivatives with which we are familiar, since the SDR has no backing whatsoever and exists only in name. If, as we suspect, the intention is to launch this new SDR-denominated bond as a prelude to introducing a new generation of 'asset' which can be exploited along lines similar to the derivatives, the seeds have been sown for a NEW BUBBLE, which will implode just like the derivatives bubble.
And the IMF's reputation and standing will be destroyed along with the SDR bond mountain that we believe is liable to take off as a consequence of this duplicitous 'smoke and mirrors' arrangement. The phrase 'money laundering' of course also springs readily to mind.
(3) Brazil is reported by The Wall Street Journal to be contributing up to $1.0 trillion which will be used to purchase these IMF Special Drawing Right-denominated bonds. BUT SEE BELOW...
(4) All of a sudden, the IMF has started signalling not only that 'the worst may now be over', but that global economic growth will be restored starting late this year and into 2010.
(5) China's reserves of gold have risen very sharply, from around 600 tonnes, to over 1000 tonnes.

RECONSTRUCTION OF WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE
It will be recalled that China, having obtained lien power from the World Court, demanded that the United States pay debts owed to it following the expiry of the 70-year maturity period of historical debts which the United States had reneged on and which may have explained the stealing of The Queen's gold that we exposed in 2007, an operation that had to be aborted after our exposure, and the consequent restoration of the gold to its rightful owner.
Very recently, the Chinese declined to accept US currency or Treasuries, and tensions rose to fever pitch when President Obama reportedly 'refused' a Chinese demand that the United States must pay China in gold, a state of affairs that reconfirmed that China has lost confidence in the US dollar. China demanded that its payment must be 'guaranteed': and the only guaranteed means of payment is in gold. We therefore believe that what has taken place is the following:
• The large volume of gold recently 'acquired' by the IMF and smelted as always happens when the Fund acquires gold, has been credited for the account of CHINA, fulfilling China's requirement.
• To satisfy the other side of the balance sheet, Brazil, as noted above, will suddenly be funding the IMF to the colossal tune of $1.0 trillion. This is FAR MORE than Brazil owns, which is why not a lot has emerged about this deal (certainly, nothing on that score that the Editor has been able to pick up in the Press Room and at the various meetings he has so far attended). So where has this huge sum of money suddenly materialised from?
• Answer: From hidden Bush Crime Family diverted and stolen funds stashed in Brazil.
In other words, the corners of this 'smoke and mirrors' triangle consists of China, the IMF and Brazil. Which helps to explain a number of recent developments, viz:
• The appearance of President Obama at the recent Organization of American States (OAS) meeting in Mexico, although of course this was a pre-arranged forum. But these meetings are in fact the outer face of what goes on behind the scenes. Deals were being done below the radar (including drug-trafficking and laundering transactions) as is always the case on these occasions.
• The fanfare with which the G-20 was 'relaunched' in London on 2nd April, when the Brazilian President Lula was seen hobnobbing with Presidents and Royalty at Buckingham Palace. All of a sudden, Brazil is on the map, but NOT for the reasons commonly supposed. No. The reason Brazil has 'risen' in the hierarchy of nations is that the Brazilian Government appears to have been very diligent in cooperating to freeze and confiscate the Bush Crime Octopus's ill-gotten funds which have been accumulated in Brazilian institutions.
UPDATE, SUNDAY 26TH APRIL: 5:00pm EST: TRIANGLE ALREADY COMING UNSTUCK?
Notwithstanding the accuracy of the foregoing (reconfirmed to us on Sunday afternoon), the new arrangements to get the White House off the hook and able to exploit trading as intended, seemed ALREADY TO BE COMING UNSTUCK ON SUNDAY. Two days earlier, the Brazilian Finance Minister attending the Spring Meetings, Guido Mantega, apparently dismissed the substance of the Fund's proposed sale of bonds denominated in SDRs as 'insufficient' and 'premature'. However this was not revealed until the 26th, implying that the Brazilians had woken up to the likelihood that they have been pressurised to provide the third side of the triangle against their better judgment.
Should the Brazilians demur (which seems likely), the situation will be completely out of control since one element of the surreptitious 'smoke and mirrors' gold and money laundering operation will have been completed without the corresponding, albeit fraudulent, matching transaction.
Mantega was also reported by Bloomberg (on Sunday) as having said that any contributions by the four largest developing nations would be 'provisional', pending reforms that would increase their say in the forum of the International Monetary Fund. Because the United States is now beholden to these countries, the US Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, said in a Treasury statement issued in the Press Room that he supports a 'realignment' of power in the Fund to reflect 'the realities of the global economy', along with a reduction of the number of IMF Board Members from 24 to 20.
That won't please the Europeans, especially the British, one little bit.
WHERE THE $1.0 TRILLION IS FEATURED IN THE G-7 COMMUNIQUE
The 'Statement of the G-7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors' Meeting' dated 24th April carefully included a reference to the $1.0 trillion, in a sudden outbreak of 'transparency'. Actually, what we observe is 'candor', which should NEVER be confused with TRUTH.
The text states:
'We welcome progress being made in mobilizing temporary bilateral financing for the IMF; this financing will be rolled over into the IMF's New Arrangements to Borrow, which in turn will be increased by up to $500 billion and see its membership expanded. We will work to implement the $250 billion general SDR allocation, as well as to use the additional resources from the IMF's agreed gold sales to support the poorest, consistent with the IMF's new income model. We are implementing the initiative to provide at least $250 billion in trade finance'.
• Total: $1.0 trillion.
The next paragraph begins: 'We welcome the IMF's introduction of new facilities, such as the Flexible Credit Line...'. This is to be another element of the new use that is to be made of SDRs, involving monthly credit extensions which could be construed as inflationary and will certainly underpin the intended exploitation of SDR-denominated bonds/assets that we detect.
IMF ARRANGEMENT THOUGHT TO REPLACE THE LOMBARD ODIER SCHEME
It is further believed that our exposure of the Lombard Odier Swiss guaranteed insurance wrap arrangement which was to have been operated in conjunction with the known CIA operative or asset Warren Buffett, literally 'blew' that scheme, which may explain the apparent earlier intent of the White House and therefore the IMF not to respond to this Editor's routine application for press accreditation for this Spring Meeting (which was in turn apparently 'blown' when we indicated that this would free up the Editor to criticise the IMF and the World Bank, which is quite hard to do if you are at the same time accepting their generous hospitality).
The present analysis criticises the arrangement that is identified here, but it should be borne in mind that the Fund jumps to the command of the White House, whatever may be alleged to the contrary. The World Bank is of course a creature of the White House, and is currently fronted by the rather competent but colourless CIA operative Mr Robert Zoellick. Listening to Robert Zoellick on Saturday, the Editor formed the view that he has a very good grasp of his responsibilities and brief.
Anyway, the point here is this:
• The IMF SDR bond arrangement, financed by disgorged Bush Crime Family money from Brazil, effectively REPLACES the Lombard Odier scheme which collapsed after we had exposed it.
• It is designed with White House approval (hence Lula's recently publicised close association with President Obama) to provide the new platform which is to be used to launch the fresh generation of 'assets' which (we believe) will soon grow up 'alongside' revived 'legacy assets' until these have been 'successfully' transferred onto the US Treasury's books, in exchange for the 'new generation' of exotic Treasury 'legacy' instruments' with extremely long maturities, probably varying from 30 to 45 or even 50 years out into the future. But there will be no 'legacy', since the 'Trashets' exchanged for these exotic US Treasury instruments will have no value, just as the paper that replaces them will have no value (i.e. their backing will be spurious).
The idea that such trash will be 'worth something worthwhile' in 25 years' time is deviant stupidity. Incidentally, Paul Volcker has told the President to his face that Mr Geithner's arrangements are absolutely unacceptable and, by implication, fraudulent.
With the new IMF 'Flexible Credit Line' in place, the prospect and probable intention is for outside parties quickly to become involved as counterparties, so that the International Monetary Fund will henceforth become the central player in what we foresee to be a new generation of exotic funding which, as noted above, will be JUST AS FRAUDULENT AS DERIVATIVES given that Special Drawing Rights are backed by nothing at all, except the very favourable standing of the Fund, which will be destroyed when the Fund's reputation collapses along with the prospective SDR bond bubble.
WITH CHINA OUT OF THE WAY AND THE WHITE HOUSE'S DEMANDS 'SATISFIED', WHAT NEXT?
If this analysis is correct, China has been dealt with and the Geithner arrangements are in the process, as a direct result of developments during the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings and the transfer of the huge volume of gold to China which we think occurred on 24th April, of being given the kiss of life, having shown (as we predicted) every sign of being stillborn. With the IMF at the centre of the carousel, revival of the derivatives sector so that these false assets can at least be transferred progressively onto the Treasury's books as described, may proceed, and Mr Geithner needn't be fired immediately. Paul Volcker, who made a number of very sober comments at the seminar that the Editor attended on Saturday, won't be amused, but he's not at the White House.
In particular, Volcker will be chagrined that the SDR, backed by zilch, is to become the new asset of preference, exploitable as was never intended, without any discernible steps being taken to back it by anything except the existing air which sustains it. No doubt Paul Volcker will be having further words with the President on this score. The IMF's credit lines will extend credit based on NOTHING. And Volcker will doubtless be pointing out that even though the Oval Office and the Treasury will be associated with the Fund in this venture, that doesn't make what is being proposed any less fraudulent. It simply incorporates the International Monetary Fund as an institutional co-conspirator in the blatant perpetration of financial fraud against future generations of Americans.
And to use the unbacked SDR as the lynch-pin for the refunding of the whole world seems to us to be inviting a catastrophe which, despite all the waffle that the Editor has so far listened to at these Spring Meetings, will, once again, NOT BE ANTICIPATED.
Because as with Geithner Plan Number One, the Treasury will be accumulating vast quantities of completely unnecessary debt which could be avoided if it were to come to its senses and permit implementation within the United States of the G-7-Approved private sector Refunding Programme using the LOAN funds provided for the purpose but which had to be withdrawn effective from 29th January 2009 because President Obama broke his signed, formal undertakings on that score: and so far as the sovereign lenders were concerned, 19 months of glaring, in-your-face, US criminalist abuse of their funds was enough, thank you very much.
SENSE THAT 'SOLUTIONS' ARE DRIVEN BY LUST TO REVITALISE TRADING
We have a distinct sense from all this that the exotic IMF arrangements outlined here represent compromises reached in order to astisfy the White House, rather than objective solutions that have been brought forward in order to meet the needs of the International Monetary Fund's constituent government clients. This perspective is reinforced by the obvious fact that what is discussed for the consumption of the world's press here is the front-facing information that is presented to the people, and which masks the sordid deals and trade-offs, that are reached behind the scenes.
This has been more obvious than usual this year, because on the several occasions when the Editor has so far been allowed to ask why he never hears words like Fraudulent Finance, Ponzi Schemes and criminal enterprise etc. mentioned, the point has been taken politely (for instance by the Governor of the Bank of Canada and also, separately, by the Finance Minister for Zambia) but then wholly dropped, with the rest of the answer focused on the 'line', which is all about how the Fund and the 'rich' countries are 'responding' to the crisis.
In other words, discussion of the criminal, fraudulent CAUSE of the calamity, and of the fact that this is a CRIMINAL FINANCE crisis first and foremost, rather than primarily a systemic crisis, is taboo.
And the reason for THAT is that the White House, CONTRARY to advice tendered by Paul Volcker, but of course influenced by the Clintons (for heaven's sake) intends to reconstitute the carousel and the Fraudulent Finance operations, come what may. It is impervious to common sense. And its boss, the National Security Council, which controls the CIA controllers, tells Obama what to do.
NEXT STEP: THE SETTLEMENTS, OR SOME OF THEM...
Which leaves the Settlements, or some of them. Here we observe that the stimulus money that the President 'fought for' as though he was still fighting the election, HAS NOT MATERIALISED.
On 20th April, the Editor was informed that the US States were expecting to be paid stimulus funds that had been agreed upon, for them to finance infrastructure and other projects, as well as some welfare payments, and that the payments to the US States were due that week.
On 25th April, the Editor learned that Pennsylvania HAD TO BORROW $480 million, just to finance its immediate unemployment benefit obligations, subject to receipt of $18 billion pledged to it by the Federal Government, much of which is urgently need to fill an immense hole in its public employee pension arrangements, clearly implying that the payments to the US States had NOT taken place.
In some supermarket stores, there are hardly any customers. New York City diners that the Editor uses that were full of clientele even the last time he was in the United States in March, are almost empty much of the time. THE STIMULUS MONEY IS OR WAS, NOT AVAILABLE.
In the light of the foregoing developments (China out of the way and the White House having stitched up a variant of the Geithner Plan without in fact telling anyone), certain Settlements payments will probably now go ahead, and the States may finally get their delayed stimulus money.
Moreover the deliberate talking-up of the prospects for recovery late this year and into 2010 by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, in the face of quite appalling data and further shocks which can be seen lurking on the horizon, tells us that the Trustees who have been told to be on standby this time may actually find that they are paid and can 'spend' their funds.
We cannot enter into ANY second-guessing as to which categories of recipient may be paid, as it is not even certain that these deductions are solid (although as a first-hand, on-the-spot observer here in Washington, the Editor has a clear sense that they are). Quite apart from anything else, if there are any further problems, M. Strauss-Kahn is going to have egg all over his face in short order, so that any ambition he may harbour of succeeding M. Sarkozy will not be realised.
THE LATEST OFFICIAL DERIVATIVES NUMBERS
The IMF's latest Financial Stability Report was not available from the printers but the Statistical Appendix was obtained. Table 4 shows that the notional value of derivatives contracts outstanding at end-June 2008, using Bank for International Settlements statistics adjusted for double-counting, stood at $683,725 billion, compared with $595,407 billion six months earlier.
Thus the notional value of these (actually worthless) 'trashets' rose by nearly $90 trillion ahead of the 'lockdown' of the $14.0 trillion in mid-September 2008 which occurred as the direct result of the advice we gave that the exploitation of the loan funds since 19th-20th June 2007 when they were first made available, was quite intolerable and should be made to cease by having the loan funds withdrawn. This advice was accepted. The rest is history.
As recently as the end of June 2006, the notional value of derivatives 'assets' outstanding, was $370,178 billion: so the volume doubled in the two years to mid-2008. Since the carousel stalled in mid-September 2008 (although compounding will have continued), the really interesting number will only surface into the public domain this time next year in the IMF data.
QUANTIFIED EUROPEAN BANK LOSSES
An IMF Working Paper which was the subject of the mentioned seminar, entitled 'Financial Stability Frameworks and the Role of Central Banks: Lessons from the Crisis', by Erlend Wlater Nier, shows quantified losses arising from the crisis attributed to banks in key European countries.
The figures shown are as follows: Banks in Italy, $2.4 billion; Netherlands, $12.1 billion; France, $25.1 billion; Belgium, $10.8 billion; Switzerland, $54.3 billion; United Kingdom, $61.3 billion; and Germany, $56.0 billion. It should be pointed out also that European banks are compliant with the Basel-II requirements monitored and brokered by the Bank for International Settlements.
Yet European banks (especially the big German and British banks) have accumulated even larger portfolios of rubbish fraudulent assets than even the US banks that we have described as criminal enterprises. How come, then, that the big US money center banks are not or have not been Basel-II compliant when some of the European banks which are in an even worse position, are compliant?
UK TREASURY TAKING EXPENSIVE LESSONS FROM BANKERS REPONSIBLE FOR THE CHAOS
One could go on for ever identifying the stupidities and aberrations of these people, but we'll close with some revealing information published in The Times, of London, very recently, in an instance of the 'mainstream' here doing a first-rate job. The report revealed that the British Treasury is paying vast fees, thought to have exceeded $150 million to date, to the very bankers whose 'irresponsible' behaviour has resulted inter alia in the British Government having to increase its indebtedness in the space of the year to come, by more than the entire volume of debt incurred by the Government of the United Kingdom since it first started borrowing from the Bank of England in 1692.
Specifically, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse and Citibank have all been hired at enormous cost as advisers to the Treasury, suggesting that the Treasury has lost control and basically had no idea what was going on in its own bailiwick. The Credit Suisse team is based at Canary Wharf, the new high-rise financial sector development to the East of the City of London, but decamps regularly to the Treasury. Its team consists of at least 20 people. The Deutsche Bank team of four experts in Fraudulent Finance includes an Irish dealmaker who advised Barclays on its failed bid for ABN Amro. Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank alone are believed to have scooped $100 million sterling equivalent between them, and separate fees are being shelled out to Citigroup, which had to be bailed out by the US authorities.
The impression to be gained from this exposure is that the British Treasury had no clue what was happening, and so was completely taken by surprise by the events of mid-September 2008 and their consequences: which probably explains why the British Treasury is staggered that a solution exists which has the capacity to reliquify the banks without incurring any Treasury debt while at the same time delivering massive windfall tax accruals to the Exchequer.
• It's called trading on the books.
• UPDATE: 27TH APRIL: 9:00pm EST: IMPORTANT CLOSING POSTSCRIPT:
As a general rule, when divisions arising at these international meetings are openly reported in the ‘mainstream’ media, the disagreements alluded to do not reflect the specific underlying tensions accurately. The cracks in the parched ground at the surface appear narrow, masking cavernous voids beneath. Such seems to be the outcome of the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings ending in Washington, DC, on Sunday, amid considerable dissension and acrimony.
Simply put, with at least $34 trillion having been stolen and diverted by the Bush Crime Nexus, nothing like the total has yet been recovered under Obama, who knew about this state of affairs long before the Inauguration, has had more than his first 100 days to impose his will on the grim situation and to remove all who have been standing in the way of the resolution, and has failed to deliver.
Accordingly, the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings 2009 took place essentially in a financial vacuum. No mention whatever was made of these colossal thefts, and the Editor detected only one obscure hint of the criminal dimension – indicating with crystal clarity that the Fund operates in a virtual environment, the parameters of which are dictated (we know for a fact) by the White House.
For public consumption, the world's press has got hold of the idea that the divisions between the financial powers that surfaced at the Spring Meetings concerned inter alia a failure to agree upon how to raise $500 billion in additional funding for the International Monetary Fund that was pledged at Gordon Brown’s G-20 jamboree at Canning Town, London, on 2nd April. It appears that over $300 billion has been ‘pledged’; but as we all know, ‘pledges’ and undertakings, following untold years of double-cross, lies and duplicity by the US Treasury, are devoid of all meaning. Deceit is catching, and, like pig flu, it’s become a worldwide epidemic. So far, no actual hard money (with the possible exception of a Japanese amount) has been forthcoming. It’s been all talk and very little action.
A second reported dispute that erupted during the Spring Meetings concerned the vexed issue of representation on the Board of the International Monetary Fund. Here, the open press reports, and the buzz in the Press Room, was that China, Brazil and India are throwing their new weight around by expressing reservations about their prospective and ASSUMED (by the United States and the IMF) participation in the exotic IMF funding arrangements described in part above, pending a full reform of their ‘quotas’ in the Bretton Woods institutions that represent their voting power, and an expansion of their status. The Times of London summed up the position, as perceived for public consumption, thus: ‘Along with other emerging market nations, China is reluctant to make bigger financial commitments in the IMF without being allowed a much greater part in decision-making at the Fund and its sister body the World Bank’.
Additionally, tensions emerged above the radar over attempts to persuade more countries to make one-off crisis contributions to the Fund’s resources, or to increase their existing commitments: the word ‘commitment’ in this unpleasant environment being meaningless: collectivization is admired in theory by these brainwashed socialist ideologues, but resisted in actual practice when it comes to forking out hard cash. And really, since there's a money famine, where's the incentive?
And following years of the rampant, in-your-face corruption orchestrated by the Bush Crime Family (for DVD, Dachau) working hand-in-glove with his top criminal trader, Dr Alan Greenspan – with the Bush dimension of the DVD-controlled element of the CIA secretly financing the ‘Islamic Terror’ operation, while Greenspan, assisted these days, one suspects, by Rahm Emanuel, presides over the secret funding of the opposite dimension of the dialectic, namely the hardened Israeli Nazi war party – the whole world has been corrupted, and the dirty tricks and duplicity deployed by the US criminalist intelligence gangs are being replicated by other powers, notably the big emerging ones.
(Encouragingly, the new Israeli Government has just explicitly stated that it will not be so stupid as to attack Iran; but the underlying objective of getting the United States to do Israel’s dirty work in the Middle East, remains unchanged).
Some of the new ‘big players’, notably Brazil, still need training in how to recognise that they are being targeted by US ‘Black Arts’ operatives into making ‘commitments’ that they’ll come to regret. Thus, as soon as it became known (two days after the event) that the Brazilian Finance Minister, Guido Montaga, had expressed reservations (about the rôle assigned to Brazil as described in this report), we formed the impression that the Brazilians had got decidedly cold feet, having belatedly realised that they may have been dragooned into what will inevitably turn out to be a typical US ‘bait and switch’ stitch-up. If they have 'twigged' that they are being duped, they are learning fast.
Given the sophistication of routine US official duplicity, the rule these new powers should follow without deviation is: don’t make commitments or agree to anything with the Americans that you don’t feel comfortable with, which in practice means that you must have the ‘money in the bank’ before signing up for anything that Washington tries to stick to you. That may well mean not doing deals with these people at all, certainly not without a very long (Green)spoon.
In this connection, the ‘mainstream’ media got the entire dynamic back to front. Quoting the London Times one more time, ‘China, Brazil and India led developing nations in forcing through measures under which the IMF will sell bonds on world markets to raise additional funding as an alternative to some countries offering longer-term loans’.
In reality, the scheme to sell SDR-denominated bonds was concocted to complete the corrupt triangle described above under pressure from the White House which tells the IMF in general, and Dominique Strauss-Kahn in particular, what to do. And this White House is taking its instructions from Bush 41 and Greenspan. This information comes from impeccable sources.
• It is consistent with this Editor’s elaboration above that ‘developments’ at the Spring Meetings were driven by the imperatives laid down by the White House and NOT by the needs of the IMF’s constituent Governments. Which means that the IMF is PERVERTING ITS JOB.
Moreover since the basis of the putative arrangements is rotten, as described, it is NO SURPRISE that no sooner have they been deconstructed (by us), than they start to unravel. In this connection, not only have the Brazilians allowed their acute reservations and nervousness about being set up by the Americans to be known, but it has been specifically reported to us that the Chinese have been advised not to touch the IMF’s proposed SDR bonds with a thousand-foot bargepole.
Which of course probably means that the SDR-denominated bond scheme, like the Lombard Odier insurance-wrap scheme and the Geithner-Paulson-Obama operation on behalf of the ‘privileged’ to revalidate the moribund and dead derivatives sector so that the crooks can recover their currently unrealisable ‘value’, leaving future US generations holding the bag, won’t get off the ground either.
This postscript analysis is closing because the Editor is now suddenly in receipt of dramatic further information which will more conveniently be publicised in a separate report that is being started immediately. Thank you for your attention!
What happened to POSSE COMITATUS ACT? CIA under GOSS guilty of TITLE III FELONIES?
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/04/did_goss_target_harman.php#more
Did Goss Target Harman?
By Zachary Roth - April 27, 2009, 5:33PM
In our last post on the Jane-Harman/AIPAC story, we noted growing evidence that Bush administration officials worked aggressively to prevent Congress from learning about Harman's wiretapped conversation with that suspected Israeli agent. But Ron Kampeas of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency had an (unfortunately titled) post late last week that took things in a very different, but equally interesting, direction.
Kampeas conducts a close reading of a New York Times report on the affair from last week to make a strong case that it was Porter Goss, then the CIA director, who took the initiative in going after Harman after hearing her on the wiretap, by trying to have authorized a separate wiretap of the lawmaker herself.
Kampeas:
Piecing this doozy together requires jumping from the lede in the NYT story, way way down. But look:
WASHINGTON -- The director of the Central Intelligence Agency concluded in late 2005 that a conversation picked up on a government wiretap was serious enough to require notifying Congressional leaders that Representative Jane Harman, Democrat of California, could become enmeshed in an investigation into Israeli influence in Washington, former government officials said Thursday.
Now skip 9 grafs:
Former officials said that Mr. Goss had first seen the transcripts of Ms. Harman's phone conversations in late 2005, when the government was renewing its requests to a special court to wiretap the calls of the Israeli operative, whom they would not identify. Ms. Harman was not the target of the eavesdropping but her conversations were picked up because she spoke with the Israeli agent.
Note the operative verbs: Lede: It was Goss who "concluded" that the tap required more action. He drew this conclusion not because Harman's alleged involvement was raised with him, but during a periodic review of material supposedly incriminating an entirely different person. Tenth graf: The review is when the transcripts were "first seen" by Goss. As in, no one had bothered to bring it to Goss' attention before. Maybe because it wasn't all that.
Or:
Operatives tracking Israeli guy (let's call him "Bob") routinely listen in on his calls. The Bob operatives need to run their transcripts by a court periodically to renew the wiretap. Porter Goss reviews the request (as a matter of routine? or did he know something?) and says, wait a minute. This involves Jane!
Or, perhaps, "This involves JANE, bwahahaha."
As Kampeas notes, Goss and Harman had a history of tension. She had led an aggressive probe of the Duke Cunningham scandal, which brought down CIA Number 3 Dusty Foggo, who had been appointed by Goss. Fallout from the scandal eventually contributed to Goss's forced resignation as CIA chief in 2006.

TOMMY:
Don't forget GOSS was CIA CHIEF when a cooperating material witness, and signer of a 47 page US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT, Thomas S. Bean, WAS ILLEGALLY CHIPPED WITH A MIND CONTROL RFID CHIP while sleeping in his own home.

And, FBI DIRECTOR BOB MUELLER, would also make a good witness, because...his FBI were looking pretty hard at me for along time (sometimes it was an official FBI paper investigation, sometimes it was a SECRET FBI POLICE STATE CONTRACT SURVEILLANCE TYPE INVESTIGATION in which "illegally obtained info collected in violation of Title III" was used...which is also a violation of Title 18 USC SECTIONS 2510--et. al., SPECIFICALLY SECTION 2517.).

Hastert: Source Said Negroponte Blocked Me From Getting Briefed On Harman Wiretap
By Zachary Roth - April 27, 2009, 12:29PM
The Jane-Harman/AIPAC story is only getting more interesting.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert has gone on the record with information that suggests a broader effort than we'd yet been aware of by the Bush administration to keep secret the fact that it had wiretapped a member of Congress.
________________
tommy:
Correct me if I am wrong here...but...when I went to law school, the STATE AND FED CRIMINAL CODES PROHIBITED WARRANTLESS WIRETAPPING.
Now...can somebody...anybody...tell us WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A VALID STATE, TITLE III, OR FISA CT ORDER to sanction this wiretapping?
The AIPAC CASE is far enough into discovery to let us know THAT FRANKLIN was wiretapped legally...so...uh....WHO TRIED TO SET UP HARMAN by getting the KIKES to call her...to create SUSPICION AND POTENTIAL EMBARASSMENT?
Around this time of the wiretapping...I WROTE A MEMO TO HARMAN...and put her name on the envelope...so...WITH A TIME LINE ANALYSIS does that explain "how Jane became an 'enemy of the CIA state' under Goss?".
What was in that memo?
Same info sent to IOWA US SENATOR CHARLES GRASSLEY...no?
Shortly thereafter, Grassley's finance aide, got attacked with a baseball bat...by a surveillance contractor working for....BLACKWATER INC.?
We know...FBI HQ was all over my communications for the last 24 years (legally or illegally)...so...WHAT DID MUELLER DO WHEN HE FOUND OUT THAT SENATOR GRASSLEY'S FINANCE AIDE GOT ATTACKED BY A STALKER WHO USED A BASEBALL BAT?
DID MUELLER CHECK THE CALEA WIRETAP EVIDENCE archived at every main frame computer hard disc at every telecomm provider (who are required under The CALEA LAW passed in 1996 shortly after OK CITY)?
______________
Hastert told CQ's Jeff Stein -- who broke the original story last week and since then has led the pack on advancing it -- that in the fall of 2006, a "CIA-connected whistleblower" alerted his office to the fact that John Negroponte, then the Director of National Intelligence, had blocked the CIA from informing congressional leaders about the Harman wiretap, as it was required to do by a separation of powers protocol in place since the 1980s.
In response, Hastert says, he wrote to Alberto Gonzales, then the Attorney General, demanding an explanation. But after a few weeks passed, DOJ told Hastert's office that there was no reason to brief the speaker.
Next, Hastert says, he had his office notify the office of Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi about the Harman wiretap.
It's not clear whether the whistleblower informed Hastert's office of exactly what Harman was recorded as saying -- that is, that Harman discussed weighing in on the AIPAC case, in exchange for help lobbying Pelosi to give Harman the job of intelligence chair -- and if so, whether Hasert's office passed that information on to Pelosi.
______________
tommy:
DOES THIS MEAN THAT HARMAN THOUGHT THAT "MOSSAD'S AIPAC (aka The "fucking Kikes" in Beanspeak) HAD the power to USE PELOSI SO THAT ISRAEL APPOINTS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN?
Isn't that a fucking problem in river city?
Isn't that a story about how weak, worthless, gutless, and shamelessly corrupt our Government stooge scum are?
Why the fuck are CIA--FBI--NSA--DOD--JCS--DIA--DOJ allowing "The Fucking Kikes" this much hegemony in our government? Isn't this why we have a FISA CT STATUTE FOR AGENTS OF FOREIGN POWER?
_______________
And as an additional note, Stein adds that Michael Hayden, who in May 2006 took over from Porter Goss as CIA director, learned of the wiretap from a memo left by Goss, but did nothing to notify congressional leaders. But a year later, Hayden gave Harman, the the ranking Democrat on the house intelligence committee, an award "in appreciation for her thoughtful and thorough oversight of CIA."
What to make of all this?
Hastert's unsuccessful appeal to Gonzales is certainly ironic, because Stein's earlier reporting has suggested that it was Gonzo who blocked then-CIA director Porter Goss from briefing Congress. The then-AG also reportedly went so far as to quash DOJ's burgeoning investigation into Harman, believing the hawkish Democrat could be helpful in defending the administration's warrantless wiretapping program. In other words, Gonzales, Negroponte, and Hayden all appear to have deliberately worked to keep Congress in the dark about the wiretap.
Was that because, as Gonzo reportedly believed, it continued to view Harman as an ally whose reputation needed protecting? Or because it wanted more broadly to limit the amount of information disclosed to Congress and the public about its wiretapping activities? Some combination of the two? And which other Bushies helped keep this secret?
Something tells us this isn't the end of the story....
Did Goss Target Harman?
By Zachary Roth - April 27, 2009, 5:33PM
In our last post on the Jane-Harman/AIPAC story, we noted growing evidence that Bush administration officials worked aggressively to prevent Congress from learning about Harman's wiretapped conversation with that suspected Israeli agent. But Ron Kampeas of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency had an (unfortunately titled) post late last week that took things in a very different, but equally interesting, direction.
Kampeas conducts a close reading of a New York Times report on the affair from last week to make a strong case that it was Porter Goss, then the CIA director, who took the initiative in going after Harman after hearing her on the wiretap, by trying to have authorized a separate wiretap of the lawmaker herself.
Kampeas:
Piecing this doozy together requires jumping from the lede in the NYT story, way way down. But look:
WASHINGTON -- The director of the Central Intelligence Agency concluded in late 2005 that a conversation picked up on a government wiretap was serious enough to require notifying Congressional leaders that Representative Jane Harman, Democrat of California, could become enmeshed in an investigation into Israeli influence in Washington, former government officials said Thursday.
Now skip 9 grafs:
Former officials said that Mr. Goss had first seen the transcripts of Ms. Harman's phone conversations in late 2005, when the government was renewing its requests to a special court to wiretap the calls of the Israeli operative, whom they would not identify. Ms. Harman was not the target of the eavesdropping but her conversations were picked up because she spoke with the Israeli agent.
Note the operative verbs: Lede: It was Goss who "concluded" that the tap required more action. He drew this conclusion not because Harman's alleged involvement was raised with him, but during a periodic review of material supposedly incriminating an entirely different person. Tenth graf: The review is when the transcripts were "first seen" by Goss. As in, no one had bothered to bring it to Goss' attention before. Maybe because it wasn't all that.
Or:
Operatives tracking Israeli guy (let's call him "Bob") routinely listen in on his calls. The Bob operatives need to run their transcripts by a court periodically to renew the wiretap. Porter Goss reviews the request (as a matter of routine? or did he know something?) and says, wait a minute. This involves Jane!
Or, perhaps, "This involves JANE, bwahahaha."
As Kampeas notes, Goss and Harman had a history of tension. She had led an aggressive probe of the Duke Cunningham scandal, which brought down CIA Number 3 Dusty Foggo, who had been appointed by Goss. Fallout from the scandal eventually contributed to Goss's forced resignation as CIA chief in 2006.

KIKES steal 50 billion from FREDDIE MAC: HLS nut Napiltano stigmatizes anti KIKE radicals?
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1226.htm
April 23, 2009
Top Freddie Mac Official ‘Suicided’ After $50 Billion Traced From US To Israel
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)
New reports circulating in the Kremlin today are showing that the rising tensions between the US and Israel have escalated even further after the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), David Kellermann, 41[photo, 2nd left], of the US government-controlled home funding provider Freddie Mac was found hanged in what the FSB is describing as an ‘Israeli Mossad initiated suicide’ after his tracing of over $50 billion in United States government funds that were ‘funneled’ to Israel and led to the collapse of the American mortgage giant.
According to Western News Sources, “The chief financial officer of money-losing mortgage giant Freddie Mac was found dead in his basement early Wednesday morning in what police said was an apparent suicide. A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said it was an apparent hanging. He declined to be identified because the investigation was ongoing.
David Kellermann's death is the latest in a string of blows to Freddie Mac since it was seized by the government last September. The company, which owns or guarantees about 13 million mortgages, has been criticized for financing risky loans that fueled the real estate bubble and are now defaulting at a record pace.
Freddie Mac lost more than $50 billion last year, and the Treasury Department has pumped in $45 billion to keep the company afloat.”
These FSB reports, however, report that Mr. Kellermann had become so concerned about his safety after discovering the flow of US funds to Israel from Freddie Mac that he used a ‘substantial part’ of his recently paid $800,000 bonus to hire private security guards to protect himself and his family, but with his death were proved unable to protect him.
These reports further state that the ‘suiciding’ of Mr. Kellermann was ‘most likely’ an Israeli Mossad attempt to discredit top Obama adviser, and White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, who along with his having been a former member of the Mossad, was also a board member of Freddie Mac and has been implicated by some CIA sources as being at the forefront of the Israeli-American cabal currently intent upon destroying the United States.
Tensions have been raised lately between Israel’s new right-wing government under Prime Minister Netanyahu and Rahm Emanuel as we can see evidenced by the reporting of the Jerusalem Post, who state:
“National Union chairman Ya'acov “Ketzele” Katz sent a letter to White House chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel last week admonishing him not to forget his Jewish and Israeli origins. Katz's missive came in response to a reported verbal exchange between Emanuel and an unidentified American Jewish leader.
Katz claims that in a private meeting with the unnamed leader, Emanuel said, “In the next four years, there will be a peace agreement with the Palestinians on the basis of two states for two peoples, and it does not matter to us who is the prime minister.”
Important to note about White House Chief of Staff Emanuel is that his father, Benjamin Emanuel, was a top member of the militant Zionist group National Military Organization in the Land of Israel (Irgun) that was led by former Prime Minister Menachem Begin, information that upon the election of Obama was deleted from the Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia, but has remained archived on many US and Israeli websites.
So radical was Menachem Begin and his Irgun members, including Emanuel’s father, that in 1948 during a visit to the United States he was given a letter signed by Albert Einstein, Sidney Hook, Hannah Arendt, and other prominent Americans and several rabbis which described Begin's Herut party as “closely akin in its organization, methods, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties and accused his group (along with the smaller, militant, Stern Gang) of having inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community”.
Throughout most of his political career, Begin was ostracized by Israel’s main parties as being ‘too radical’ and their being afraid of his terrorist past, however:
“In 1978 Begin, aided by Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, negotiated the Camp David Accords, and in 1979 signed the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty with Egyptian President, Anwar Sadat. Under the terms of the treaty, brokered by US President, Jimmy Carter, Israel was to hand over the Sinai Peninsula in its entirety to Egypt. The peace treaty with Egypt was a watershed moment in Middle Eastern history, as it was the first time an Arab state recognized Israel’s legitimacy whereas Israel effectively accepted the land for peace principle as blueprint for resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict. Given Egypt’s prominent position within the Arab World, especially as Israel’s biggest and most powerful enemy, the treaty had far reaching strategic and geopolitical implications.
Almost overnight, Begin’s public image of an irresponsible nationalist radical was transformed into that of a statesman of historic proportions. This image was reinforced by international recognition which culminated with him being awarded, together with Sadat, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978.
Yet while establishing Begin as a leader with broad public appeal, the peace treaty with Egypt was met with fierce criticism within his own Likud party. His devout followers found it difficult to reconcile Begin’s history as a keen promoter of the Greater Israel agenda with his willingness to relinquish occupied territory. Agreeing to the removal of Israeli settlements from the Sinai was perceived by many as a clear departure from Likud’s Revisionist ideology.”
Begin retired from public life in 1983 and was reported to have been ‘greatly disappointed’ that he did achieve peace with Lebanon, and he died in 1992.
Begin’s legacy, though, of achieving peace between Israel and all of its Arab neighbours, including the establishment of a separate state for the Palestinian peoples, was carried forth by Yitzhak Rabin, who, like Begin, was a leader of the Jewish terrorist paramilitary group known as the Haganah, of which it has long been known that as a deputy commander in 1948, Rabin engaged in ethnically cleansing Palestinians, and some 40 years later, while serving as Israeli defense minister, Rabin ordered Israeli troops to “break the bones” of Palestinian demonstrators, almost all of whom were children.
Rabin, however, unlike Begin, was unable to fulfill his mission for peace as he was assassinated on November 4, 1995 by a right-wing Israeli student many have linked to the Mossad.
Another former Haganah commander, and alleged war criminal, Ariel Sharon, soon followed Rabin into the leadership of Israel where upon he promptly ordered Israel’s evacuation from the Gaza Strip, a move which angered the Israeli right and led to his ‘deliberately’ being placed in a coma by the Mossad, a condition which he remains in to this day.
What is most important to realize about Begin, Rabin and Sharon, is that aside from all three of them being, perhaps, among the worst Jewish mass murders in history, they came to realize how Israel was being manipulated by the European Royal Houses and the United States as the ‘foil’ to initiate Total Global War from which their Nation would not survive, nor the Jewish people. In their knowing this fact, they established within both Israel and the United States a secret counter insurgency organization to battle against the Mossad, of which Raum Emanuel was recruited and according to his FSB file is still active in as its leader in the US.
And Kellermann’s murder, these reports continue, was a part of this internal Israeli intelligence war and in ‘direct response’ to Emanuel’s releasing to the US press this past week the National Security Agencies (NSA) wiretaps of US Democratic Congresswoman Jane Harman bargaining with Mossad who was seeking to obtain the release of their AIPAC lobbyist spies captured by the Americans and awaiting trail in exchange for the Mossad pressuring US Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, into giving Harmon the coveted chairmanship of the US House Intelligence Committee.
US House Leader Pelosi, however, has stated that she was informed about Congresswoman Harmon’s treachery to her country, and as we can read:
“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that she was aware a few years ago that Rep. Jane Harman had been overheard on a government wiretap. “A few years ago, maybe three years ago, they did brief me,” Pelosi told reporters at an event hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
She said that when a member of Congress is recorded as part of a wiretapped conversation, intelligence officials inform congressional leaders. “That happened at that time,” Pelosi said. She added that the classified briefing was not detailed, and she did not tell Harman at the time.”
Though the new right-wing Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, stated to Russian daily Moskovskiy Komosolets that “Believe me, America accepts all our decisions”, his views do not match the facts concerning Obama and Israel, and as we can read:
“[Israeli] Military Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin said Monday that the Middle East policy of U.S. President Barack Obama's administration could endanger Israel. “The Obama administration is determined to take initiative and move forward central processes in the Middle East," Yadlin told ministers at a special cabinet meeting.”
These reports further state that Obama and Emmanuel are set to further inflame Israel’s new right-wing government by cooperating with Norway’s planned charging of Israeli leaders with war crimes, and of which we can read:
“Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and opposition leader Tzipi Livni may face war crimes charges in Norway over their role in Israel's offensive against Hamas in Gaza, AFP reported Tuesday. The news agency said six Norwegian lawyers announced plans Tuesday to accuse the pair, as well as Defense Minister Ehud Barak and seven senior Israel Defense Forces officers, of the crimes. The lawyers, who planned to file their complaint with Norway's chief prosecutor on Wednesday, were quoted as saying they would also call for the arrest and extradition of the Israeli leaders.”
Most important of these events, however, are how the American people remain nearly clueless as to the machinations ongoing between their power elite and the right-wing Israelis which will, and sooner than these people can believe, plunge them into a Total Global War from which they could be totally destroyed.

Important to note about White House Chief of Staff Emanuel is that his father, Benjamin Emanuel, was a top member of the militant Zionist group National Military Organization in the Land of Israel (Irgun) that was led by former Prime Minister Menachem Begin, information that upon the election of Obama was deleted from the Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia, but has remained archived on many US and Israeli websites.
So radical was Menachem Begin and his Irgun members, including Emanuel’s father, that in 1948 during a visit to the United States he was given a letter signed by Albert Einstein, Sidney Hook, Hannah Arendt, and other prominent Americans and several rabbis which described Begin's Herut party as “closely akin in its organization, methods, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties and accused his group (along with the smaller, militant, Stern Gang) of having inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community”.
Throughout most of his political career, Begin was ostracized by Israel’s main parties as being ‘too radical’ and their being afraid of his terrorist past, however:
“In 1978 Begin, aided by Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, negotiated the Camp David Accords, and in 1979 signed the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty with Egyptian President, Anwar Sadat. Under the terms of the treaty, brokered by US President, Jimmy Carter, Israel was to hand over the Sinai Peninsula in its entirety to Egypt. The peace treaty with Egypt was a watershed moment in Middle Eastern history, as it was the first time an Arab state recognized Israel’s legitimacy whereas Israel effectively accepted the land for peace principle as blueprint for resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict. Given Egypt’s prominent position within the Arab World, especially as Israel’s biggest and most powerful enemy, the treaty had far reaching strategic and geopolitical implications.
Almost overnight, Begin’s public image of an irresponsible nationalist radical was transformed into that of a statesman of historic proportions. This image was reinforced by international recognition which culminated with him being awarded, together with Sadat, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978.
Yet while establishing Begin as a leader with broad public appeal, the peace treaty with Egypt was met with fierce criticism within his own Likud party. His devout followers found it difficult to reconcile Begin’s history as a keen promoter of the Greater Israel agenda with his willingness to relinquish occupied territory. Agreeing to the removal of Israeli settlements from the Sinai was perceived by many as a clear departure from Likud’s Revisionist ideology.”
Begin retired from public life in 1983 and was reported to have been ‘greatly disappointed’ that he did achieve peace with Lebanon, and he died in 1992.
Begin’s legacy, though, of achieving peace between Israel and all of its Arab neighbours, including the establishment of a separate state for the Palestinian peoples, was carried forth by Yitzhak Rabin, who, like Begin, was a leader of the Jewish terrorist paramilitary group known as the Haganah, of which it has long been known that as a deputy commander in 1948, Rabin engaged in ethnically cleansing Palestinians, and some 40 years later, while serving as Israeli defense minister, Rabin ordered Israeli troops to “break the bones” of Palestinian demonstrators, almost all of whom were children.
Rabin, however, unlike Begin, was unable to fulfill his mission for peace as he was assassinated on November 4, 1995 by a right-wing Israeli student many have linked to the Mossad.
Another former Haganah commander, and alleged war criminal, Ariel Sharon, soon followed Rabin into the leadership of Israel where upon he promptly ordered Israel’s evacuation from the Gaza Strip, a move which angered the Israeli right and led to his ‘deliberately’ being placed in a coma by the Mossad, a condition which he remains in to this day.
What is most important to realize about Begin, Rabin and Sharon, is that aside from all three of them being, perhaps, among the worst Jewish mass murders in history, they came to realize how Israel was being manipulated by the European Royal Houses and the United States as the ‘foil’ to initiate Total Global War from which their Nation would not survive, nor the Jewish people. In their knowing this fact, they established within both Israel and the United States a secret counter insurgency organization to battle against the Mossad, of which Raum Emanuel was recruited and according to his FSB file is still active in as its leader in the US.
And Kellermann’s murder, these reports continue, was a part of this internal Israeli intelligence war and in ‘direct response’ to Emanuel’s releasing to the US press this past week the National Security Agencies (NSA) wiretaps of US Democratic Congresswoman Jane Harman bargaining with Mossad who was seeking to obtain the release of their AIPAC lobbyist spies captured by the Americans and awaiting trail in exchange for the Mossad pressuring US Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, into giving Harmon the coveted chairmanship of the US House Intelligence Committee.
US House Leader Pelosi, however, has stated that she was informed about Congresswoman Harmon’s treachery to her country, and as we can read:
“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that she was aware a few years ago that Rep. Jane Harman had been overheard on a government wiretap. “A few years ago, maybe three years ago, they did brief me,” Pelosi told reporters at an event hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
She said that when a member of Congress is recorded as part of a wiretapped conversation, intelligence officials inform congressional leaders. “That happened at that time,” Pelosi said. She added that the classified briefing was not detailed, and she did not tell Harman at the time.”
Though the new right-wing Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, stated to Russian daily Moskovskiy Komosolets that “Believe me, America accepts all our decisions”, his views do not match the facts concerning Obama and Israel, and as we can read:
“[Israeli] Military Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin said Monday that the Middle East policy of U.S. President Barack Obama's administration could endanger Israel. “The Obama administration is determined to take initiative and move forward central processes in the Middle East," Yadlin told ministers at a special cabinet meeting.”
These reports further state that Obama and Emmanuel are set to further inflame Israel’s new right-wing government by cooperating with Norway’s planned charging of Israeli leaders with war crimes, and of which we can read:
“Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and opposition leader Tzipi Livni may face war crimes charges in Norway over their role in Israel's offensive against Hamas in Gaza, AFP reported Tuesday. The news agency said six Norwegian lawyers announced plans Tuesday to accuse the pair, as well as Defense Minister Ehud Barak and seven senior Israel Defense Forces officers, of the crimes. The lawyers, who planned to file their complaint with Norway's chief prosecutor on Wednesday, were quoted as saying they would also call for the arrest and extradition of the Israeli leaders.”
Most important of these events, however, are how the American people remain nearly clueless as to the machinations ongoing between their power elite and the right-wing Israelis which will, and sooner than these people can believe, plunge them into a Total Global War from which they could be totally destroyed.

RAHMBO: Mossad's little Kike Spy ain't out of the woods yet
Emanuel Was Director Of Freddie Mac During Scandal
New Obama Chief of Staff, Others on Board, Missed "Red Flags" of Alleged Fraud Scheme
By BRIAN ROSS and RHONDA SCHWARTZ
November 7, 2008
President-elect Barack Obama's newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot "red flags," according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com.
According to a complaint later filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Freddie Mac, known formally as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, misreported profits by billions of dollars in order to deceive investors between the years 2000 and 2002.
Emanuel was not named in the SEC complaint (click here to read) but the entire board was later accused by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) (click here to read) of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention."
In a statement to ABCNews.com, a spokesperson said Emanuel served on the board for "13 months-a relatively short period of time."
The spokesperson said that while on the board, Emanuel "believed that Freddie Mac needed to address concerns raised by Congressional critics."
Freddie Mac agreed to pay a $50 million penalty in 2007 to settle the SEC complaint and four top executives of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation were charged with negligent conduct and, like the company, agreed to settle the case without admitting or denying the allegations.
The actions by Freddie Mac are cited by some economists as the beginning of the country's economic meltdown.
The federal government this year was forced to take over Freddie Mac and a sister federal mortgage agency, Fannie Mae, pledging at least $200 billion in public funds.
Freddie Mac records have been subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of its investigation of the suspect accounting procedures.
Emanuel was named to the Freddie Mac board by President Bill Clinton in 2000 and resigned his position when he ran for Congress in May, 2001. ....

Rahm Emanuel's profitable stint at mortgage giant
Short Freddie Mac stay made him at least $320,000
Before its portfolio of bad loans helped trigger the current housing crisis, mortgage giant Freddie Mac was the focus of a major accounting scandal that led to a management shake-up, huge fines and scalding condemnation of passive directors by a top federal regulator.
One of those allegedly asleep-at-the-switch board members was Chicago's Rahm Emanuel—now chief of staff to President Barack Obama—who made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort.
As gatekeeper to Obama, Emanuel now plays a critical role in addressing the nation's mortgage woes and fulfilling the administration's pledge to impose responsibility on the financial world.
Emanuel's Freddie Mac involvement has been a prominent point on his political résumé, and his healthy payday from the firm has been no secret either. What is less known, however, is how little he apparently did for his money and how he benefited from the kind of cozy ties between Washington and Wall Street that have fueled the nation's current economic mess.....
...On Emanuel's watch, the board was told by executives of a plan to use accounting tricks to mislead shareholders about outsize profits the government-chartered firm was then reaping from risky investments. The goal was to push earnings onto the books in future years, ensuring that Freddie Mac would appear profitable on paper for years to come and helping maximize annual bonuses for company brass.
The accounting scandal wasn't the only one that brewed during Emanuel's tenure.
During his brief time on the board, the company hatched a plan to enhance its political muscle. That scheme, also reviewed by the board, led to a record $3.8 million fine from the Federal Election Commission for illegally using corporate resources to host fundraisers for politicians. Emanuel was the beneficiary of one of those parties after he left the board and ran in 2002 for a seat in Congress from the North Side of Chicago.
The board was throttled for its acquiescence to the accounting manipulation in a 2003 report by Armando Falcon Jr., head of a federal oversight agency for Freddie Mac. The scandal forced Freddie Mac to restate $5 billion in earnings and pay $585 million in fines and legal settlements. It also foreshadowed even harder times at the firm.
Many of those same risky investment practices tied to the accounting scandal eventually brought the firm to the brink of insolvency and led to its seizure last year by the Bush administration, which pledged to inject up to $100 billion in new capital to keep the firm afloat. The Obama administration has doubled that commitment.
Freddie Mac reported recently that it lost $50 billion in 2008. It so far has tapped $14 billion of the government's guarantee and said it soon will need an additional $30 billion to keep operating.
Like its larger government-chartered cousin Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac was created by Congress to promote home ownership, though both are private corporations with shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The two firms hold stakes in half the nation's residential mortgages.
Because of Freddie Mac's federal charter, the board in Emanuel's day was a hybrid of directors elected by shareholders and those appointed by the president.
In his final year in office, Clinton tapped three close pals: Emanuel, Washington lobbyist and golfing partner James Free, and Harold Ickes, a former White House aide instrumental in securing the election of Hillary Clinton to the U.S. Senate. Free's appointment was good for four months, and Ickes' only three months.
Falcon, director of the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, found that presidential appointees played no "meaningful role" in overseeing the company and recommended that their positions be eliminated.
John Coffee, a law professor and expert on corporate governance at Columbia University, said the financial crisis at Freddie Mac was years in the making and fueled by chronically weak oversight by the firm's directors. The presence of presidential appointees on the board didn't help, he added.
"You know there was a patronage system and these people were only going to serve a short time," Coffee said. "That's why [they] get the stock upfront."...

THE JEWISH-CONTROLLED US DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY is now turning against upright American citizens.
Directing the Department’s targeting of American citizens is the Zionist Jew, Joseph Lieberman, the Senate Homeland Security Chairman, and Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security, an obvious Zionist shill and reputed lesbian.
In an alarming ‘Gestapo-oriented’ Report by US Homeland Security issued on April 7, 2009, entitled, Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment, the fascist Department of Homeland Security specifies a new ‘threat’ to America’s security, namely, all critics of Jewry’s agenda to destroy America, whom the Department labels: “Anti-Semitic extremists.”

THE POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS OF KARL ROVE: documentary film...free online
http://www.politicalprosecutions.org/
Good documentary, free online....on the topic of KARL ROVE'S DOJ CONSPIRACIES TO ENGAGE IN MALICIOUS PROSECUTIONS OF DEMOCRATS in key swing states.
CLICK BLOG POST TITLE ABOVE TO GET LINKED to a free documentary.
One of the questions that immediately sprang up in the wake of the US Attorney scandal was, what about the other 84 USAs who apparently did not meet with Karl Rove's disapproval? Indeed, the Shields-Cragan study found a heavily biased litany of prosecutions of Democratic office holders, Democratic campaign contributors and other Democratic affiliates, where it was found that Democrats were seven (7) times more likely to be investigated and/or indicted by various accommodating US Attorneys, with generous help of the FBI.
Director John McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) has pieced together a documentary regarding the vast swamp of political prosecutions that occurred during the reign of GOP terror that has come to define the Bush regime.
The Political Prosecutions of Karl Rove is a must see (and is going to be added to the Shockfront Must See TV section) McTiernan does something here that no one else has done, so far as I've seen: he has traced the pattern of low level prosecutions and found -- surprise! -- that much of the DoJ chicanery focused on the swing states. Subsequent to the film's debut, and after thrashing about with the DoJ for two years in the wiretapping case of Anthony Pellicano, McTiernan now finds himself indicted again. The timing of the indictment appears to be … inauspicious.

Sibel Edmonds interviewed by Electric Politics
Sibel gave a 75-min interview to Electric Politics on April 10. You can listen to it here. Mizgin has an overview of the interview here. A partial transcript follows:
Bipartisan Coverup: The US Deep State
GK: When was the last time that you had any contact with Waxman's office?
SE: That would be, having real conversation/contact was before the election in 2006, but in March 2007, I spoke with one of his staff people... and he said the congressman was very serious about having these hearings. But just as he was planning on scheduling a hearing for my case - this is the State Secrets Privilege and the whole FBI case - he was called into a hearing with Nancy Pelosi, they went into a meeting for about 30 minutes, Chairman Waxman came out and told his staff that they were not going to have these hearings, including my case.
And interestingly, this was during a time that they were putting together this junket, this trip, to several countries, the first one being Israel, and Chairman Waxman was not on that list. After this meeting, two or three days later, his name was added to the list. I don't know if that means anything or not, if it was a coincidence, I don’t know. That was the last time.
GK: Sibel, do you suppose that there are any currently serving members of congress who would be affected by an open hearing?
SE: Yes. Yes. This is the point that I wanted to bring up when you asked the question. When I went inside the SCIF, with Congressman Waxman's staff, all the people who attended had clearance, so I started going through the facts because I can disclose to the appropriate committee, people with clearance etc, and I can talk about details.
So, as I started talking about congressional members, or certain appointed officials under both administrations who were involved in certain activities that were targeted by the FBI at one point, the legal counsel with clearance for congressman Waxman stopped me and said "I need to stop you right here and ask you a question. How many Democrats are involved here in the House or the Senate?" and I answered the question, I said "Concretely to answer that, the ones that I know for sure would be three." And he looked at his watch, and said "OK I think we have enough, we don't want to hear any more. What we would like to do is we want to receive the classified version of the Inspector General's report, which we never got, and after that we will contact you and ask you to continue."
Basically they said they didn’t want to hear it because if they heard it they would be responsible. So the meeting ended there - this was the SCIF meeting, and again, this was witnessed because I got the report from the Capitol police that came and declared that the room was secured, the date... so the fact that I went inside the SCIF with them, who I met, everything has been recorded, but this is how it went.
GK: That's fascinating. Let me ask you a related question, Sibel. Do you think that there are any currently serving officials in the administration who would be affected by open hearings?
SE: Yes. Absolutely. Because a lot of these people are recycled as you know. I'm sure you're aware of it because, it's very easy, and this is one of the fallacies from the Left groups, and that is they like to boil down all the bad and evil into maybe three or four or five faces, whether it's Wolfowitz, ok, Cheney, ok, the big bad evil people, and limit it to these people and say 'OK. These are the evil-doers, and we want to see them gone.' Well, it's much deeper than that. You really need to look at those people who keep getting recycled.
GK: So what this begins to look like is the Deep State that Peter Dale Scott talks about...
SE: Absolutely
GK: ...having transferred from Turkey over here to the US.
SE: Correct, because they usually refer to that term in Turkey. It's a very known term - in fact, even if you go to Wikipedia if you look even a lot of even international perspective in Turkey, it is a Deep State, and that is, Deep State consists of the military and intelligence and their involvement in a lot of criminal activities - part of it is narcotics, the other ones have to do with certain money laundering activities.
But within the US we have a much bigger, much more important, much more influential Deep State. I mean, I'm just going to throw a name - look at people like Henry Kissinger. Name one administration that has not had Henry Kissinger as a White House advisor.
And another one, because this is public. Now, if you look at the Chairman of ATC, you will see Brent Scowcroft, OK. Well just recently, President Obama appointed him as a special - whatever - envoy and now he is actually working for the Obama administration. But he's still residing as chairman of ATC. I mean nobody is even talking about conflict of interest.
Why the States Secrets Privilege? Grossman, Dickerson and Susurluk
GK: Now when you separated from the FBI, my guess is that you knew that there were a lot of different threads out there, but it probably took you a while to make sense of the bigger picture? Or did it?
SE: Yes, it did. Actually, while I was working there, and here is another interesting angle of this case, is that the case came out and was known publicly as the espionage case, and this is the angle that has already been confirmed by Congress, by the IG report: the Dickersons case.
Well, here is the interesting thing, as this espionage case angle came out in the New York Times and Washington Post and CBS 60 Minutes, yet no-one, not a single reporter ever asked 'Who the hell are these Dickersons?' Not one! Nobody even looked at it. Just a simple check on the Dickersons would have brought out so much information and the stuff that they are considering State Secrets Privilege.
When you look at Dickerson - Melek Can Dickerson - US citizen, Turkish born, her husband at the time, an Air Force Major, although he worked for DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, Douglas Dickerson. If they looked at Douglas Dickerson, they would have seen on the record that Douglas Dickerson was stationed in Turkey between 1992 and early 1997, and worked directly under Ambassador Marc Grossman in Ankara in the military attaché.
And then they would see that Marc Grossman and Douglas Dickerson were pulled out of their positions in Turkey at the same time, removed from Turkey, even though Grossman's term still had some time left, and the same thing with Douglas Dickerson, and this was right after the Susurluk scandal, OK? And then they would see that Douglas Dickerson, at the end of 2001, started working for Douglas Feith's office, dealing with certain Central Asian countries including Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Well, nobody ever looked, or wanted to look, or wanted to see this.

BLACKMAIL, CONTROL, COERCION, EXTORTION, mind control, frameups: HOW CHENEY passed WAR COMMISSIONS ACT

Harman and the NSA Wiretaps
Are Members of Congress Being Blackmailed?
By DAVE LINDORFF
For some time now, many Americans have wondered how Congress, the elected body that the nation’s Founding Fathers saw as the bulwark of liberty, could have been so thoroughly unwilling to, or incapable of challenging the dictatorial power-grabs and the eight-year Constitution wrecking campaign of the Bush/Cheney administration.
There has been speculation on both the far left and the far right, and even among some in the apolitical, cynical middle of the political spectrum, that somehow the Bush/Cheney administration must have been blackmailing at least the key members of the Congressional leadership, most likely through the use of electronic monitoring by the National Security Agency (NSA).
I’ll admit that (even though we know J Edgar Hoover did keep a dirt file on members of Congress to help him support his budget allocation each year) I always considered the idea of White House blackmail a bit far out. But now suddenly there is at least some evidence that such seemingly wild speculation may not have been off the mark, with reports that the NSA was indeed monitoring Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), and that the Bush Administration used the evidence it had obtained of her improper conversations with and promises to assist agents of the Israeli government and its lobby here in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to blackmail her into supporting the NSA’s warrantless spying program—the very kind of spying that led to her being caught on tape plotting with an agent of a foreign power.
At the time of the taping of Harman’s incriminating phone conversations, the administration was trying desperately (and ultimately successfully) to get the New York Times to hold off on publishing a shocking investigative report by journalist James Risen about a massive campaign of warrantless tapping of Americans’ phone and internet communications.
According to a report by Jeff Stein, published in the latest issue of Congressional Quarterly, the NSA in 2006 recorded Rep. Harman negotiating with an alleged Israeli agent about helping Israel win a reduction in the espionage charges filed by the US in 2005 against two members of the AIPAC lobby accused of providing US intelligence information to the Israeli government (the case against AIPAC’s Stephen Rosen and Keith Weissman is still waiting to go to trial). According to the transcript, a copy of which was obtained by CQ, the Israeli agent offered to have AIPAC lobby, and more specifically to have a it arrange for a wealthy Jewish pro-Israel donor in California donate money to Rep. Nancy Pelosi, in order to get her, once she became House Speaker, to name Harman as chair of the House Intelligence Committee. At the end of the phone conversation, Rep. Harman, who offered to help, was heard to say, “This conversation doesn’t exist.”
According to reports in CQ and in the New York Times, which ran a story on the scandal as its lead news item on Tuesday, then Attorney General Alberto Gonzales subsequently intervened with the FBI to prevent any prosecution of Harman, a key member of Congress on whom the administration was relying to help it persuade the Times to withhold its NSA wiretapping exposé until after the 2006 election. In the event, Rep. Harman did later make calls to a Times editor, the paper did hold its story until after the election, and Harman later was a leading backer of the administration’s controversial (and illegal) NSA spying program. (Harman never did get the chair of the Intel Committee, though she did make a run at it. It is possible that the reason she didn’t get the position was that, as Pelosi now admits, she was informed early on by the NSA of the tap it had done on Harman.)
There are several serious issues here. One is the extraordinary glimpse it offers into the extent to which Israel has penetrated the centers of power in Washington. It is illegal for foreign governments to directly lobby and to offer to arrange financial contributions for members of the US government, but here, clearly, Israeli agents were doing just that. The role of AIPAC as a front for the Israeli government in Washington, as exposed here, is simply stomach-turning, and should make it a toxic organization to politicians. Instead, they flock enmasse to its annual meetings, as President Obama did almost immediately upon winning the November election, and a large proportion of both houses from both parties happily accept its campaign largesse.

Don't forget MOSSAD'S ECSTASY RING using CALEA BACKDOORS to get tipped on DEA--FBI CALEA wiretaps.

A second, even bigger, issue is the NSA’s spying activities themselves. According to CQ, the particular wiretap that caught Rep. Harman inflagrante with an Israeli agent was a court-approved tap—part of an investigation into Israeli government spying activities. But even if this is true—and at this point, we’re relying on what the government is telling us about it—it shows how dangerous the broader unwarranted monitoring program of the NSA has been, and remains.
Back in 1978, Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in direct response to the disclosure during the Watergate hearings and subsequent investigations that the Nixon Administration had been using the NSA to conduct illegal monitoring of the communications of anti-war activists, and of members of Congress. To prevent such police-state outrages in the future, Congress passed the FISA legislation, establishing a secret court staffed by a panel of top-security-cleared federal judges, whose sole responsibility was to consider and grant requests from the NSA for warrants to conduct secret electronic surveillance within the US or involving American citizens abroad.

THAT ANALYSIS ignores FISA exclusively used for "AGENTS OF A FOREIGN POWER ENGAGED IN CLANDESTINE ACTIVITY" to create a NATIONAL SECURITY EXIGENCY to rationalize the secrecy. TITLE III WARRANTS are just as good...but...the NATIONAL SECURITY EXIGENCY for FISA CT ORDERS creates a wall to go around for defense attorneys who want to see the application to test for FRANKS DOCTRINE problems.
_________________
President Bush used the pretext of the 9-11 attacks to secretly order the NSA to begin a massive compaign of surveillance without going through the FISA Court for warrants, even secretly soliciting the cooperation of the nation’s several telecom companies in splicing in routers at their switching hubs to make it possible to monitor all conversations moving across the wires and the internet. It seemed to some observers, myself included, that the only reason the administration could have had for bypassing the FISA court (which over 30 years of operation has been incredibly accommodating of government spying requests) was that it was planning to engage in spying that would outrage the public and the Congress and even the FISA judges.
It also seemed likely, given the Bush/Cheney administration’s public stance that everyone was either “with us or against us,” and that critics of the administration’s “War on Terror” or of its plans to invade Iraq, were “unpatriotic” or “soft on terror,” that congressional opponents of the administration would be obvious—and indeed irresistible--targets of that surveillance.
Now that we have seen proof that the prior administration was not above using its NSA-acquired knowledge to pressure a member of Congress, it becomes absolutely essential that Congress and the Justice Department investigate to see whether other members of Congress were also victims of agency spying, and whether others besides Rep. Harman were similarly extorted or otherwise compromised.

The American public can, at this point, have zero confidence in the integrity of the Congress or of their own representatives, knowing that politicians and government officials may be acting not in the public interest but rather under duress in the interest of those who control the National Security Agency. We can have zero confidence either in the integrity of the president, who likewise may well have been compromised by NSA surveillance conducted on him before he became president.

______________
The only possible position for the public to adopt as of today is to be suspicious of any politician who opposes a full and public investigation into the NSA’s seven-year-long campaign of sweeping, warrantless electronic eavesdropping, since opposition to such an investigation, in the wake of the Harman episode, could well be an indication that the political figure in question is afraid she or he has been monitored, or worse, that she or he has been threatened by those who have the records.
Every citizen concerned about the fate of American democracy should demand that his or her senators and representative promptly call for such a public probe. Even if the administration isn’t blackmailing individual members of Congress, given that many of them are sure to have ethical, legal or moral skeletons in their closets that they would not want revealed, just knowing that the NSA has been and could be monitoring their communications, and that the White House hasn’t been above using that information against a member, could make them pliant and cowardly.
It is no longer a wild idea at all to imagine that our Congress has been reduced to the status of a Potemkin legislature because of real or imagined spying by the NSA.

IS ISRAEL BLACKMAILING AMERICA?
FOX NEWS SPIKES FOUR PART STORY ON PHONE TAPPING SCANDAL
note: CLICK BLOGPOST TITLE ABOVE TO GET LINKED TO THE STORY
What follows is the original article I wrote when the news story first broke regarding the existence of a system to tap into any phone in America built into the surveillance system used by law enforcement authorities. Several cases were cited where investigations ranging from drug running and money laundering to the events of 9/11 had been compromised by leaks from the company that operated the phone taps as well as phone data from an associated company that handles billing services for almost every phone in America.
The focus of the article was a single question. Could Israel be blackmailing the entire US Government and media.
The answer is now obvious. Fox News, the so-called "We report, you decide" all news network, has removed the four part story from their website. No explanation is given except for the single Orwellian sentence at the end of one of the links, "This story no longer exists". (It can still be read HERE)
Israel, purportedly our friend, has been spying on us all. And we're not talking about individual spooks like Jonathan Pollard, or small-time networks such as the 140 Israelis arrested by the FBI prior to 9/11, or the 60 arrested since (including 5 arrested who were cheering and celebrating as the World Trade Towers collapsed).
It turns out that Israel has had a potential wiretap on every phone in America for years, along with the ability to monitor and record who any person is calling, anywhere in America; information of great value even if one does not listen to the calls themselves. Amdocs, Inc. the company which sub contracts billing and directory services for phone companies around the world, including 90 percent of American phone companies, is owned by Israeli interests. Yet another company, Comverse Infosys, is suspected of having built a "back door" into the equipment permanently installed into the phone system that allows instant eavesdropping by law enforcement agencies on any phone in America. This includes yours.
Concerns about allowing an Israeli company such intimate access to the infrastructure go back many years. As reported by Fox News, the Israeli company Amdocs was implicated in the leaking of police phone data that resulted in the collapse of on investigation into a massive drug and credit card fraud operation with Israeli connections.
In a telling repeat of the Los Angeles drug case, investigators looking into the attacks on the World Trade Towers are again reporting that confidential telephone information is again being leaked in a manner that is interfering with the investigations. Again, Amdocs was implicated.
Not content with the phones of ordinary citizens in the United States, evidence has surfaced that t.Israel compromised the telephone systems at the highest levels of the US Government.
Now, I want you all to stop and think for a minute of the full ramifications of this. Israeli interests have the ability to listen in on ANY phone in America connected to any of the systems used by Amdocs or Comverse Infosys. They have had this ability for several years. They can listen in and track the phone calls made by anyone's phone, whether police officer, elected official, media talking head, editor, policy setter, news mogul, even the President of the United States. The Ken Starr report on Whitewater describes how Bill Clinton warned Monica Lewinsky that a foreign government was tapping their phone calls.
Few indeed are the people in America who do not have something to hide. That insider trade, the brief but torrid affair, the stolen votes, the deliberate smear, the role one played in an assassination, the acceptance of money from drug runners to look the other way. Be honest. Is there a skeleton in your closet you hope will stay there? Something nobody knows about? Well, if that skeleton involved a phone call, someone may know about it. Amdocs and Comverse Infosys. And their Israeli owners.
Just think about it for a moment. Everyone's private phone traffic, right up to the President, potentially visible to Israeli interests. And you cannot find the phone taps or bugs because they are built right into the phone system!
Suddenly, a lot of events which have puzzled observers start to make sense.
Like the way the US vetoed the UN resolution calling for peace in Palestine, despite being the only 1 out of 15 voting nations to have voted against the measure. The USA gained nothing by this veto. But Israel did.
Over the last few weeks, the people of the United States have seen a great deal of evidence pointing the finger of blame for 9/11 at Osama bin Laden and Arabs in general, evidence which is circumstantial, often self-contradictory, and in some cases faked. Yet as was reported in the news, evidence also exists linking many of the arrested Israeli spies (some of whom worked for the Israeli telecom companies above) with the events of 9/11. Yet this evidence is NOT being broadcast endlessly on the news. In fact, this evidence is CLASSIFIED. Someone has "persuaded" the US Government and the media that the American people are ONLY supposed to see the evidence that points a certain direction, and must never see any evidence that points someplace else. Likewise, the media has been "persuaded" not to report evidence that Israel knew of the 9/11 attacks ahead of time. The foreign press has outright accused the Mossad of taking part in the 9/11 attacks but the American media have been "persuaded" not to cover these accusations.
It was well known that there was an Israeli spy inside the Clinton White House. But Clinton ordered the FBI to cease searching for the mole, code-named "Mega". It is now known that "Mega" was not just Mossad spy but top Mossad agent in America. The cancellation of the hunt for "Mega" occurred at the same time Clinton warned Monica Lewinsky that their phone conversations were being recorded. This strongly suggests that Clinton was "persuaded" to call off the FBI's hunt for "Mega" with the threat of a recorded phone sex session being made public.

Because of the purported links between Muslims and the attacks on the World Trade Towers, the US Government has been shutting down all Muslin linked charities in the USA. But the Chairman of the Jewish Defense League, a group with a violent history, was arrested recently in a plot to bomb a US congressman. But the US Government has been "persuaded" not to take actions against Jewish charities, while the media has been "persuaded" to allow the story of hard evidence of JDL terrorism to fade away as quickly as possible.
Two Mossad agents were arrested with dynamite inside the Mexican Congress.

The Mexican government was persuaded to release the two men without trial. Meanwhile, the American media has been "persuaded" not to report on the Mexican arrests.
Israel receives a hugely disproportionate share of foreign aid from the United States, about $5 billion a year. A large segment of the US population questions the sending so much money to such a small population while so many people remain homeless on our own streets. But somehow, Congress is "persuaded" to keep sending more cash each and every year.
Sharon faces war crimes trial.
The American media is "persuaded" not to make a big deal of the story.
Israel is in violation of the Geneva Accords.
The American media is "persuaded" not to make a big deal of this story.
The United Nations accuses Israel of using torture on children.
The American media is "persuaded" not to make a big deal of this story, either.
How is such persuasion possible?
Blackmail.
The revelation of an Israeli-linked system for monitoring and potentially listening in to the phone calls of every single person in the nation at will opens up the possibility that a massive blackmail operation, unprecedented in scale, is the real force shaping media bias and United States policy.
The reality is that this nation's politicians and media leaders all have secrets to hide. Mistresses, drug habits, links to that airfield in Mena, Arkansas, BCCI cash sitting in that bank in Barbados, loot from ADFA in the Cayman's; in a corrupted society only the corrupt can reach the heights of power, and they all have secrets to hide. They are all vulnerable to blackmail. And being the kind of people who were willing to, and usually did, anything to get power, they are also the people willing to do anything to keep it. Look the other way when the drugs come in, spike an embarrassing news story or plant a fake one that embarrasses your enemy, alter the books, destroy a report, falsify data, destroy evidence, maybe even allow the military might of the United States and the blood of her children to be tricked into fighting someone else's war.
History has shown that if a crime is possible, it is also inevitable. The cold hard reality is that Amdocs and Comverse Infosys are the most powerful tools a blackmailer could ever hope for, opening up the private lives of everyone in the nation, including the secrets of targets able to control the media and US policy.
Dare we ignore this potential threat?
Or will the media be "persuaded" that all this fuss about Israeli-owned companies with wires into the phone system is just a lot of nonsense?
There is one more aspect to this issue that needs to be looked at. If indeed Israel is blackmailing our officials and media icons, it is because those who are being blackmailed ARE blackmailable. If we elect a government of criminals, we elect a government subject to blackmail. Finally, given the fact that blackmail may be assumed to be as widespread as the collection system itself is, those who persist in trying to defend Israel may no longer be assumed to be operating from the purest of motives. After all, who will defend a blackmailer more staunchly than those who are the blackmailer's victims?
Harman and the NSA Wiretaps
Are Members of Congress Being Blackmailed?
By DAVE LINDORFF
For some time now, many Americans have wondered how Congress, the elected body that the nation’s Founding Fathers saw as the bulwark of liberty, could have been so thoroughly unwilling to, or incapable of challenging the dictatorial power-grabs and the eight-year Constitution wrecking campaign of the Bush/Cheney administration.
There has been speculation on both the far left and the far right, and even among some in the apolitical, cynical middle of the political spectrum, that somehow the Bush/Cheney administration must have been blackmailing at least the key members of the Congressional leadership, most likely through the use of electronic monitoring by the National Security Agency (NSA).
I’ll admit that (even though we know J Edgar Hoover did keep a dirt file on members of Congress to help him support his budget allocation each year) I always considered the idea of White House blackmail a bit far out. But now suddenly there is at least some evidence that such seemingly wild speculation may not have been off the mark, with reports that the NSA was indeed monitoring Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), and that the Bush Administration used the evidence it had obtained of her improper conversations with and promises to assist agents of the Israeli government and its lobby here in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to blackmail her into supporting the NSA’s warrantless spying program—the very kind of spying that led to her being caught on tape plotting with an agent of a foreign power.
At the time of the taping of Harman’s incriminating phone conversations, the administration was trying desperately (and ultimately successfully) to get the New York Times to hold off on publishing a shocking investigative report by journalist James Risen about a massive campaign of warrantless tapping of Americans’ phone and internet communications.
According to a report by Jeff Stein, published in the latest issue of Congressional Quarterly, the NSA in 2006 recorded Rep. Harman negotiating with an alleged Israeli agent about helping Israel win a reduction in the espionage charges filed by the US in 2005 against two members of the AIPAC lobby accused of providing US intelligence information to the Israeli government (the case against AIPAC’s Stephen Rosen and Keith Weissman is still waiting to go to trial). According to the transcript, a copy of which was obtained by CQ, the Israeli agent offered to have AIPAC lobby, and more specifically to have a it arrange for a wealthy Jewish pro-Israel donor in California donate money to Rep. Nancy Pelosi, in order to get her, once she became House Speaker, to name Harman as chair of the House Intelligence Committee. At the end of the phone conversation, Rep. Harman, who offered to help, was heard to say, “This conversation doesn’t exist.”
According to reports in CQ and in the New York Times, which ran a story on the scandal as its lead news item on Tuesday, then Attorney General Alberto Gonzales subsequently intervened with the FBI to prevent any prosecution of Harman, a key member of Congress on whom the administration was relying to help it persuade the Times to withhold its NSA wiretapping exposé until after the 2006 election. In the event, Rep. Harman did later make calls to a Times editor, the paper did hold its story until after the election, and Harman later was a leading backer of the administration’s controversial (and illegal) NSA spying program. (Harman never did get the chair of the Intel Committee, though she did make a run at it. It is possible that the reason she didn’t get the position was that, as Pelosi now admits, she was informed early on by the NSA of the tap it had done on Harman.)
There are several serious issues here. One is the extraordinary glimpse it offers into the extent to which Israel has penetrated the centers of power in Washington. It is illegal for foreign governments to directly lobby and to offer to arrange financial contributions for members of the US government, but here, clearly, Israeli agents were doing just that. The role of AIPAC as a front for the Israeli government in Washington, as exposed here, is simply stomach-turning, and should make it a toxic organization to politicians. Instead, they flock enmasse to its annual meetings, as President Obama did almost immediately upon winning the November election, and a large proportion of both houses from both parties happily accept its campaign largesse.

IS ISRAEL BLACKMAILING AMERICA?
FOX NEWS SPIKES FOUR PART STORY ON PHONE TAPPING SCANDAL
note: CLICK BLOGPOST TITLE ABOVE TO GET LINKED TO THE STORY
What follows is the original article I wrote when the news story first broke regarding the existence of a system to tap into any phone in America built into the surveillance system used by law enforcement authorities. Several cases were cited where investigations ranging from drug running and money laundering to the events of 9/11 had been compromised by leaks from the company that operated the phone taps as well as phone data from an associated company that handles billing services for almost every phone in America.
The focus of the article was a single question. Could Israel be blackmailing the entire US Government and media.
The answer is now obvious. Fox News, the so-called "We report, you decide" all news network, has removed the four part story from their website.

It turns out that Israel has had a potential wiretap on every phone in America for years, along with the ability to monitor and record who any person is calling, anywhere in America; information of great value even if one does not listen to the calls themselves. Amdocs, Inc. the company which sub contracts billing and directory services for phone companies around the world, including 90 percent of American phone companies, is owned by Israeli interests. Yet another company, Comverse Infosys, is suspected of having built a "back door" into the equipment permanently installed into the phone system that allows instant eavesdropping by law enforcement agencies on any phone in America.

The Ken Starr report on Whitewater describes how Bill Clinton warned Monica Lewinsky that a foreign government was tapping their phone calls.
Few indeed are the people in America who do not have something to hide. That insider trade, the brief but torrid affair, the stolen votes, the deliberate smear, the role one played in an assassination, the acceptance of money from drug runners to look the other way. Be honest. Is there a skeleton in your closet you hope will stay there? Something nobody knows about? Well, if that skeleton involved a phone call, someone may know about it. Amdocs and Comverse Infosys. And their Israeli owners.
Just think about it for a moment. Everyone's private phone traffic, right up to the President, potentially visible to Israeli interests. And you cannot find the phone taps or bugs because they are built right into the phone system!
Suddenly, a lot of events which have puzzled observers start to make sense.
Like the way the US vetoed the UN resolution calling for peace in Palestine, despite being the only 1 out of 15 voting nations to have voted against the measure. The USA gained nothing by this veto. But Israel did.
Over the last few weeks, the people of the United States have seen a great deal of evidence pointing the finger of blame for 9/11 at Osama bin Laden and Arabs in general, evidence which is circumstantial, often self-contradictory, and in some cases faked. Yet as was reported in the news, evidence also exists linking many of the arrested Israeli spies (some of whom worked for the Israeli telecom companies above) with the events of 9/11. Yet this evidence is NOT being broadcast endlessly on the news. In fact, this evidence is CLASSIFIED. Someone has "persuaded" the US Government and the media that the American people are ONLY supposed to see the evidence that points a certain direction, and must never see any evidence that points someplace else. Likewise, the media has been "persuaded" not to report evidence that Israel knew of the 9/11 attacks ahead of time. The foreign press has outright accused the Mossad of taking part in the 9/11 attacks but the American media have been "persuaded" not to cover these accusations.
It was well known that there was an Israeli spy inside the Clinton White House. But Clinton ordered the FBI to cease searching for the mole, code-named "Mega". It is now known that "Mega" was not just Mossad spy but top Mossad agent in America. The cancellation of the hunt for "Mega" occurred at the same time Clinton warned Monica Lewinsky that their phone conversations were being recorded. This strongly suggests that Clinton was "persuaded" to call off the FBI's hunt for "Mega" with the threat of a recorded phone sex session being made public.

Because of the purported links between Muslims and the attacks on the World Trade Towers, the US Government has been shutting down all Muslin linked charities in the USA. But the Chairman of the Jewish Defense League, a group with a violent history, was arrested recently in a plot to bomb a US congressman. But the US Government has been "persuaded" not to take actions against Jewish charities, while the media has been "persuaded" to allow the story of hard evidence of JDL terrorism to fade away as quickly as possible.
Two Mossad agents were arrested with dynamite inside the Mexican Congress.

The Mexican government was persuaded to release the two men without trial. Meanwhile, the American media has been "persuaded" not to report on the Mexican arrests.
Israel receives a hugely disproportionate share of foreign aid from the United States, about $5 billion a year. A large segment of the US population questions the sending so much money to such a small population while so many people remain homeless on our own streets. But somehow, Congress is "persuaded" to keep sending more cash each and every year.
Sharon faces war crimes trial.
The American media is "persuaded" not to make a big deal of the story.
Israel is in violation of the Geneva Accords.
The American media is "persuaded" not to make a big deal of this story.
The United Nations accuses Israel of using torture on children.
The American media is "persuaded" not to make a big deal of this story, either.
How is such persuasion possible?
Blackmail.
The revelation of an Israeli-linked system for monitoring and potentially listening in to the phone calls of every single person in the nation at will opens up the possibility that a massive blackmail operation, unprecedented in scale, is the real force shaping media bias and United States policy.
The reality is that this nation's politicians and media leaders all have secrets to hide. Mistresses, drug habits, links to that airfield in Mena, Arkansas, BCCI cash sitting in that bank in Barbados, loot from ADFA in the Cayman's; in a corrupted society only the corrupt can reach the heights of power, and they all have secrets to hide. They are all vulnerable to blackmail. And being the kind of people who were willing to, and usually did, anything to get power, they are also the people willing to do anything to keep it. Look the other way when the drugs come in, spike an embarrassing news story or plant a fake one that embarrasses your enemy, alter the books, destroy a report, falsify data, destroy evidence, maybe even allow the military might of the United States and the blood of her children to be tricked into fighting someone else's war.
History has shown that if a crime is possible, it is also inevitable. The cold hard reality is that Amdocs and Comverse Infosys are the most powerful tools a blackmailer could ever hope for, opening up the private lives of everyone in the nation, including the secrets of targets able to control the media and US policy.
Dare we ignore this potential threat?
Or will the media be "persuaded" that all this fuss about Israeli-owned companies with wires into the phone system is just a lot of nonsense?
There is one more aspect to this issue that needs to be looked at. If indeed Israel is blackmailing our officials and media icons, it is because those who are being blackmailed ARE blackmailable. If we elect a government of criminals, we elect a government subject to blackmail. Finally, given the fact that blackmail may be assumed to be as widespread as the collection system itself is, those who persist in trying to defend Israel may no longer be assumed to be operating from the purest of motives. After all, who will defend a blackmailer more staunchly than those who are the blackmailer's victims?

Seventy-Five Ex-AGs To Holder: Review Siegelman Case
By Zachary Roth - April 22, 2009, 5:29PM
Former Alabama governor Don Siegelman is stepping up his campaign to persuade Attorney General Eric Holder to take another look at his case.
Seventy-five former state attorneys general, including ten Republicans, have sent a letter to Holder saying that Siegelman's defense lawyers have raised "gravely troublesome facts" about whether he got a fair trial, reports the New York Times. The letter cites Holder's recent decision to ask that the charges against Ted Stevens be dropped, thanks to prosecutors' failure to turn over evidence to the defense, as required. It argues that there is evidence of similar misconduct in Siegelman's case, and that the charges should similarly be dropped if that's borne out in an investigation.
Earlier this month, Siegelman's lawyer sent a letter to Holder making a similar point, and asking the AG to review the case.
The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating the Siegelman case, so Holder may be inclined to wait for the results of that effort before making any move.

The Secret APPEASMENT of BARACK OBAMA: nothing new, more "pragmatic politicization of our Government"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30292790/page/2/
Obama presidency keeps some Bush secrets
Despite open government pledge, administration keeps lid on FBI database
updated 7:31 a.m. PT, Sun., April 19, 2009
WASHINGTON - Despite a pledge to open government, the Obama administration has endorsed a Bush-era decision to keep secret key details of an FBI computer database that allows agents and analysts to search a billion documents with a wealth of personal information about Americans and foreigners.
President Barack Obama's Justice Department quietly told a federal court in Washington last week that it would not second-guess the previous administration's decisions to withhold some information about the bureau's Investigative Data Warehouse.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights advocacy group, had sued under the Freedom of Information Act to get records showing how the FBI protects the privacy of Americans whose personal information winds up in the vast database.
No public list of databases
As a result, there is no public list of all the databases the FBI sucks into this computer warehouse; no information on how individuals can correct errors about them in this FBI database; and no public access to assessments the bureau did of the warehouse's impact on Americans' privacy.
"In light of all the fanfare at the highest levels of the administration about a new transparency policy, it's remarkable that not one word of additional material has been released as a result of that new policy," said David Sobel, the foundation's lawyer in the case.
The administration's handling of the decision fit a pattern that emerged this month: Highly visible announcements when Obama breaks with Bush policy in order to open hidden government files, but an almost stealthy rollout of decisions when Obama endorses secrecy.
"There has been a lack of consistency on the part of the administration when it comes to secrecy issues," said James Dempsey, vice president for public policy at the Center for Democracy and Technology, an open government advocate. "They do seem to be torn between two conflicting tendencies: One is openness and other is a control-the-news tendency. But it's still early in the administration, so I cut them some slack for not having this fully thought out yet."
Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler offered a different explanation: "Some withholdings are necessary in order to protect privacy, national security and other interests."
There's no lack of openness when Obama changes Bush policies.
On his first day in office, Obama reversed a policy on releasing government documents so there is a "presumption in favor of disclosure." Attorney General Eric Holder promptly beat Obama's deadline by two months for issuing new guidelines that urged release unless "foreseeable harm" would result.
Secret legal opinions opened
With a flourish, the Justice Department has opened two batches of secret legal opinions crafted to support Bush's anti-terrorism polices. Just Thursday, four Bush-era legal opinions that relaxed restrictions against torture of prisoners were made public, accompanied by a department news release and a statement from Obama.
In contrast, the decision to endorse Bush's withholding of records about the FBI's data warehouse was filed in federal court last Monday with no other public word from the current administration.
On April 3, the Obama administration issued no presidential statement or general Justice Department news release when it told a federal court in San Francisco that a lawsuit by AT&T customers to stop domestic wiretapping by the National Security Agency must be halted to avoid disclosing state secrets.
Instead, a court brief containing the decision was filed electronically with the San Francisco court at 8 p.m. EDT Friday.
Schmaler said the department had a statement prepared in case anyone called to ask about the filing. But in the NSA case, and the FBI case, the department did not follow the Bush administration practice of e-mailing reporters a copy of government briefs in newsworthy cases as soon as they are filed with a court.
State secrets privilege
During the presidential campaign, Obama said Bush invoked the state secrets privilege too often, and Holder has ordered a review of those cases. But Obama has since reasserted it in two cases where Bush earlier claimed it to prevent disclosure of his anti-terror tactics.
The NSA wiretapping case, filed shortly before Bush left office, was the first time Obama asserted the privilege on his own to try to kill a suit.
Last Monday's decision not to release additional documents about the FBI data warehouse was the first one about a pending case since Holder issued the new freedom of information standard and said Bush-era decisions involved in pending suits could be revisited.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton had given the government 60 days to decide whether the new guidelines might alter its position. The government's response declining to disclose more data did not say whether the Justice Department used the time to re-evaluate the Bush-era decisions.
Comparing the Obama decisions, attorney Sobel said, "The `torture' memos affected a handful of people while this database potentially affects millions of American citizens. The average American was not likely to be tortured at the Guantanamo Bay prison, but they are likely to have information about them in this massive database which remains a black hole. We don't even know what material they're collecting."
Begun in 2004, the data warehouse contains at least 53 databases that are refreshed regularly. Nearly three-quarters of the data comes from outside the FBI. Some 13,500 FBI agents, 2,000 FBI analysts and selected other federal, state and local law enforcement officers on joint task forces with the FBI can access the material, which includes unclassified documents and data classified confidential or secret, but not top secret.
Censored documents released
The heavily censored documents already released show the warehouse contains the FBI's electronic case files; its lists of people and groups "associated with" violent gangs and terrorist organizations; criminal histories from the National Crime Information Center; messages between the FBI and other agencies; newspaper stories from around the world; data about lost, stolen or fraudulent passports; CIA intelligence reports; suspicious banking activity reports; and lists of people barred from aircraft or subject to extra searches before flying.
But the names of more than half the data sets in the warehouse are blacked out.
In the Justice Department's brief, FBI freedom of information chief David Hardy said that "knowledge of the data sources ... would enable individuals involved in criminal or terrorist activities to adapt their activities and methods to avoid detection." New department guidance for deletions like this cautions agencies to "ensure that they are not withholding based on speculative or abstract fears."
The released documents also show the FBI assessed the data warehouse's impact on the privacy of Americans, but won't make those assessments public because it believes federal law doesn't require that.
The new Justice guidance, however, says agencies "should not withhold information simply because (they) may do so legally." It urges release of information that can be made public without "foreseeable harm."

Conyers To Hold Hearings On Torture Memos
By Zachary Roth - April 21, 2009, 4:39PM
Rep. John Conyers, who chairs the House Judiciary committee, has announced that he plans to hold hearings into the Bush-era OLC memos released last week.
Despite his pledge to hold hearings in his own committee, Conyers said he agrees with President Obama's statement that he favors a probe conducted by a bipartisan commission, rather than solely by a congressional committee.

Levin's Torture Report: A Round-Up
By Brian Beutler - April 22, 2009, 10:05AM
Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) has picked up where he left off almost a year ago last night by unveiling an unclassified report (PDF) detailing the origins of U.S. torture policies and the route those policies took through the government and into the darkened rooms where military interrogators put them into practice.
The release of this report is coincidental to last week's release, by the Obama Justice Department, of a series of Bush-era memos written to justify a number of torturous CIA interrogation techniques.
Levin got this process rolling in June of last year, releasing a shorter report and a series of Pentagon memos--the fruits of a two year investigation--which painted a more skeletal picture than last night's report does.
For instance, we've known since last year that, in July, 2002, senior Pentagon officials compiled information on Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape (SERE) techniques. (The military operates a number of SERE schools, where soldiers are trained to withstand the horrors that might be inflicted upon them if captured by regimes that don't adhere to the Geneva Conventions). We've known many of those officials' names for some time. And we've known how the techniques they authorized moved from the realm of theory into practice, first in Guantanamo and then in Iraq.
Today, we learn much more. For instance, we learn that, "[i]ntelligence and military officials under the Bush administration began preparing to conduct harsh interrogations long before they were granted legal approval to use such methods -- and weeks before the CIA captured its first high-ranking terrorism suspect, Senate investigators have concluded."...

When the Deal Goes Down: Obama Signals Move to Save Bush Bigwigs on Torture
Chris Floyd
April 21, 2009
..."Once again, Team Obama is underscoring the fact that they will not prosecute the torturers themselves, and they will not prosecute "the officials who ordered the policies carried out." They will only consider taking some unspecified action (which could be no more than disbarment) against the lawyers who wrote down the weasel-words to "justify" the tortures which Bush and Cheney specifically wanted and ordered.
Yes, of course such lawyers should face criminal prosecution, and serve hard time upon conviction. That's not the point here. The point is the astounding position that Obama is now taking. For how can it possibly be a punishable offense to write a memo condoning torture -- but NOT a punishable offense to order the memo to be written, to order the torture to be carried out, and to actually carry it out? Yet that is precisely what the constitutional lawyer in the Oval Office is suggesting: "We will not prosecute Al Capone for ordering a hit; we will not prosecute the hitman himself. But by golly, we just might think about looking into maybe prosecuting the guy who told the hitman what Al Capone wanted done!"
We've noted often here before that the ruling elite is certainly not averse to offering up a sacrifice now and then to get sticky issues off the front burner, and give the cynical appearance of the rule of law to their reckless and lawless depredations. And if the heat gets high enough, then a deal just might be struck: We'll give you ByBee, Yoo and Bradbury, but you let the worst perps -- the higher perps -- walk. (They might even go as far as throwing the hapless Alberto Gonzales into the stewpot, if the first few nuggets don't do the trick.)
The Bush gang has done this kind of thing before, when they made Scooter Libby walk the plank to save the hide of Karl Rove and Dick Cheney for their treasonous outing of a CIA operative. (Of course, they made sure that Scooter's landing was a comfy as possible.) Just as they didn't care how many people died and suffered as a result of their Terror War policies abroad and their corporate rapine at home, they certainly don't care if a few of their ex-servants bite the dust.
We may never get to that point, of course. No doubt Obama is hoping that his suggestion of possible future action on the side issue of the lawyers will be enough to quell the furor. Or, if not, then perhaps the usual blue-ribbon, "bipartisan" commission of trusted "elders" will obfuscate and bury the issue at last. But what is most remarkable about the situation is Obama's dogged insistence that he will not prosecute the actual authors and perpetrators of these base, foul crimes, no matter what. He is certainly showing an iron-clad consistency in protecting the elite lawlessness at the core of the imperial system.

Conyers To Hold Hearings On Torture Memos
By Zachary Roth - April 21, 2009, 4:39PM
Rep. John Conyers, who chairs the House Judiciary committee, has announced that he plans to hold hearings into the Bush-era OLC memos released last week.
Despite his pledge to hold hearings in his own committee, Conyers said he agrees with President Obama's statement that he favors a probe conducted by a bipartisan commission, rather than solely by a congressional committee.

Levin's Torture Report: A Round-Up
By Brian Beutler - April 22, 2009, 10:05AM
Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) has picked up where he left off almost a year ago last night by unveiling an unclassified report (PDF) detailing the origins of U.S. torture policies and the route those policies took through the government and into the darkened rooms where military interrogators put them into practice.

The first 100 days of appeasement:SECRET TEAM STILL CONTROL
Obama’s First 100 Days: Worse Than Even We Predicted
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Monday, April 20, 2009
As President Barack Obama approaches his first 100 days in office, the corporate media prepares a new round of fawning idolatry about the Obama administration’s “achievements,” yet a summary glance at what Obama has actually done in that short time with regard to expanding the Bush police state and the Neo-Con empire is worse than even we predicted.
The day after Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States in November last year, we challenged Obama supporters and the administration itself to follow through on the rhetoric of “change” by starting to dismantle the architecture of the Bush police state and beginning to roll back the unwieldy morass of the American empire. Obama has done neither, and in fact his every action has been about ensuring the Bush police state remains in place, that the people who put it in place are protected from prosecution, and that the empire continues to expand.
We presented Obama and his supporters with a series of issues on which to make progress. While we did not expect Obama to accomplish much in his first few months in office, we at least challenged the new President to take the first steps in reversing eight years of what was a de facto dictatorship and plotting the course for the “change” that was so consistently promised.
We asked the following questions of an Obama presidency;
- Will Obama support Dennis Kucinich’s efforts to bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for deceiving the country into a war or will he protect them against such charges like Nancy Pelosi has done?
In April 2008, Obama promised that as President he would ask his Attorney General to “immediately review” potential war crimes that occurred under the Bush White House. Obama or his Attorney General have done no such thing, and every noise they have made suggests that top Neo-Cons will be protected from deceiving America into a war.
Similarly we asked;
- Will Obama bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for authorizing torture and will the torture of suspects under U.S. detention, a complete violation of both the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions, cease under an Obama administration?
As we found out last week, the answer was a resounding NO.
Upon the release of the torture memos, Obama’s right-hand man, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, told ABC News that top Bush administration officials “should not be prosecuted either and that’s not the place that we go.” In addition, Obama’s statement that accompanied the release of the torture memos stated, “In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution.”
So no retribution for the people who ordered the torture, and no retribution to the people who carried it out, thus setting the precedent that future administrations are free to order torture - safe in the knowledge that they will face no consequences whatsoever.

OBAMA-HOLDER have killed the TORTURE ISSUE by ignoring all the facts from all the parties. I COULD CHANGE THIS DEBATE REAL FUCKING QUICK...TOO BAD HOLDER does not have the character and fitness for the job?.
_________________________________
- Will Obama withdraw American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan without sending them away again to bomb another broken-backed third world country?
The answer again is a resounding NO. Upon taking office, Obama announced that he would be sending another 17,000, and eventually perhaps as many as 30,000, extra troops to Afghanistan.
Regarding Iraq, after the “withdrawal” of U.S. troops in 19 months, a timescale that has since been put back again, “Mr. Obama plans to leave behind a “residual force” of tens of thousands of troops to continue training Iraqi security forces, hunt down foreign terrorist cells and guard American institutions,” reported the New York Times.
In terms of bombing another broken-backed third world country, Obama has beefed the U.S. military role in Pakistan beyond that pursued by the Bush administration and “expanded the covert war run by the Central Intelligence Agency inside Pakistan,” according to the New York TImes, with an increase in missile attacks by drone aircraft.
Meanwhile, Obama’s war chest demands came to a total of around $800 billion in war funds and subsidiary costs just to cover the rest of 2009.
Does any of this sound like a move towards bringing the troops home and rolling back the American empire, as Obama promised before he was elected?
- Will Obama end the warrantless secret surveillance and phone-taps of American citizens?
You’ll be shocked the learn that the answer was a resounding NO.
Earlier this month, “The Obama administration formally adopted the Bush administration’s position that the courts cannot judge the legality of the National Security Agency’s (NSA’s) warrantless wiretapping program,” reported the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
“President Obama promised the American people a new era of transparency, accountability, and respect for civil liberties,” said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. “But with the Obama Justice Department continuing the Bush administration’s cover-up of the National Security Agency’s dragnet surveillance of millions of Americans, and insisting that the much-publicized warrantless wiretapping program is still a ’secret’ that cannot be reviewed by the courts, it feels like deja vu all over again.”
- Will Obama cease his support for the Bush-administration backed banker bailouts, hated by the majority of Americans, and target the real cause of the problem - the Federal Reserve - or will he continue to give taxpayers’ money to banks who are merely hoarding it all for themselves?
Obama’s zealous push for more bailouts, along with increased power for the Federal Reserve and the implementation of global regulations that will effectively end any notion of a free market was perhaps the defining issue of his first 100 days as President. Obama has vigorously promoted the same financial policies that were introduced by the Bush administration in its final few months.
- Will Obama repeal Patriot Acts I and II as well as reversing Bush’s signing statement and acknowledging the repeal of the John Warner Defense Authorization Act?
Will Obama seek to continue the militarization of America and preparations for martial law through Northcom and the secret government or will he dismantle the police state that has been constructed over the last eight years by the Bush administration?
________________
tommy:
I assure you...OBAMA has not a clue, nor does he have a legal curiosity about HOW THE SURVEILLANCE STATE WORKS, WHAT LAWS ARE BROKEN, AND WHAT BOGUS HOLLOW MANTRAS ARE EMPLOYED TO RATIONALIZE THE RIGHT WING ORWELL MEETS KAFKA POLICE STATE MAD HOUSE.
OBAMA is extorted all the way.
No guts, no glory...nothing new..
_________________
Despite initial rhetoric about reversing Bush’s infamous signing statements, Obama himself stated that he will continue to use signing statements. The Patriot Act and its additions as well as the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, both core planks of the Bush police state, remain firmly in place, with no sign of any reversal.
Regarding militarization through Northcom, weeks after Obama’s election victory it was announced that, “The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.” Militarization of law enforcement and troops being used domestically in preparation for martial law is continuing apace under the Obama administration.
- Will Obama follow through on his rhetorical support for the second amendment or will he seek to ban guns as he did in Illinois?
Despite Obama promising that he was not interested in going after the second amendment before his election, one of his first actions was to appoint the rabidly anti-gun Eric Holder as his Attorney General. Obama has also falsely blamed the drug war crisis in Mexico on American gun shops. The leaked Obama gun ban list would make millions of Americans criminals for owning weapons such certain types of rifles or pistols. Anti-gun legislation has found its way into stimulus and other unrelated bills as pork barrel. The first steps of the Obama administration with regard to gun control have resulted in record firearm and ammunition purchases across the country.
Upon Obama’s election we made a cynical but unfortunately accurate prediction of how the much vaunted promise of “change” would actually manifest itself. The fact is that the “change” began and ended on the day Obama won the election.
- Illegal warrantless surveillance and wiretapping of American citizens will continue under Obama.
- Top Bush administration officials who ordered torture and those that carried it out will be protected from prosecution under Obama.
- Top Bush administration officials who deceived America into a war will be protected from prosecution under Obama.
- The expansion of the military empire through continued occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and further military incursions into Pakistan will continue and expand under Obama.
- Banker bailouts, reckless spending, inflation of currency through overprinting and global regulations stifling the free market, all of which were initiated under Bush, will continue under Obama.

CHENEY PRINTED MONEY...on his own authority?
No charges...Mr Holder?
________________
- The militarization of the United States and the architecture of the police state that was set up under Bush will be preserved and expanded under Obama.
- The attack on the second amendment right to bear arms will continue under Obama.
“The egregious spending will continue, government will balloon in size, American soldiers will be used as cannon fodder for more interventionist wars of the military-industrial complex, U.S. citizens will continue to have their phone calls tapped and their rights curtailed,” we forecast last year, “and the Federal Reserve will continue to rule the financial system with an iron fist while the middle class is squeezed out of existence.”
Who can deny that all those things have only intensified under the Obama administration?
The honeymoon is over - Barack Obama has proven himself to be nothing more than we predicted all along - another stooge for the global banking syndicate that has controlled every U.S. president since JFK, and nothing more than a black face on the new world order - sworn to continue and intensify the same agenda that the Bush-Clinton-Bush dynasty advanced before him.

Change you have been told to believe in: A closer examination of Barack Obama’s foreign policy
Freedom of Information
April 17, 2009
“What you want in a media system is ostensible diversity that conceals actual uniformity”
- Joseph Goebbels
The election of Barack Obama has been rightly heralded across the world as a defining moment in the history of the United States. The election of the nation’s first black president is symbolic of the progress made in terms of attitudes towards racial harmony and acceptance in a country where less than fifty years previously basic rights and entitlements were routinely denied to non-white people, and a dehumanising structure incorporating segregation and separation kept people permanently excluded from any sort of meaningful political representation according to their ethnicity.
Obama’s victory has cued an outpouring of elation and hope both among the American people and abroad, which says much for the disastrous two-term presidency that preceded his victory. For many Americans and those of the younger generations in particular, the election of the Democratic candidate represents a rejection of eight years of George W. Bush’s neoconservative rule. The Bush administration was characterised by callous militarism, total disregard for international consensus on matters such as war and torture and policies that have progressively eroded civil and constitutional rights within the United States.
Bush left office with plummeting approval ratings, his hugely unpopular policies having engendered overwhelming anti-American sentiment internationally and created a climate of fear and intimidation in the United States that has undermined the preservation of freedom of speech and justice. The wars started by Bush’s administration have taken an enormous toll; an ORB survey estimates that more than a million Iraqis had died by August 2007 following the 2003 invasion of that country[1], in addition to the millions of displaced, and American military casualties since Bush took office now number more than 5,000, with over 100,000 soldiers estimated wounded.
Public opinion demanded an end to the wars of aggression, the torture and warrantless wiretapping. The American people cried out for an end to the no-bid contracts for Halliburton and a halt to the intimate relationship with the highest echelons of elected power enjoyed by big business. People had had enough of a government which seemed to revel in trampling on the country’s core values, and under whose rule those suspected of being enemies of the state are now guilty until proven innocent. It was in this context that Barack Obama was elected; indeed his campaign could be succinctly represented by one word: “Change”.
Those who elected Obama on anti-war grounds, however, had not read the small print. Indeed, Obama’s status as a champion of pacifism can be attributed in no small part to the stance taken by his Republican opponent during the campaign; compared to John McCain’s overt belligerence, Obama became the candidate of peace by default. Whereas McCain hypothesised that American military involvement in Iraq could continue for “a hundred years”, Obama affirmed in September 2007 that, “[t]here is no military solution in Iraq and there never was. The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq’s leaders to resolve their civil war is to immediately begin to remove our combat troops. Not in six months or one year - now.”[2]
In July 2008, Obama said that a previous commitment and campaign pledge to complete a full withdrawal of combat troops within 16 months could be “refined” at a later date[3], and following his inauguration he indeed extended the timetable for the prospective pullout to between 19 and 23 months[4]. Obama’s current position is that a “residual force” of up to 50,000 troops will be left in the country after this 23-month period has elapsed[5] – giving rise to consternation from anti-war activists and from some within the Democratic Party. There are currently 142,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, and therefore the proposed 50,000-strong residual force represents more than one third of the American forces currently serving in the country. Under an agreement signed between George W. Bush and the Iraqi government in 2008, all U.S. troops must be out of Iraq by December 31st 2011.
Aside from the somewhat confused stance with regards to the Iraq pullout, President Obama has been criticised by opponents of the ‘war on terror’ for pledging to almost double the number of U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan. His proposal to supplement the existing force of 36,000 with an additional 30,000 troops[6] – presumably consisting in no small part of soldiers who have already served in Iraq – contradicts statements made in July 2008, in which Obama had suggested increasing the U.S. presence in Afghanistan by just 7,000[7]. Since taking office, Obama has already dispatched an additional 17,000 U.S. troops to the country[8].
The newly elected President wasted no time whatsoever in continuing another policy inherited from his predecessor; attacks by unmanned drones inside Pakistani territory. In September 2008, Obama called the first attacks carried out by the government of George W. Bush inside Pakistan a “small step in the right direction.” Susan Rice, top foreign policy advisor to Obama’s campaign, said of the raids – undertaken without approval from Islamabad - that the U.S. had a right “Not to invade. Not to take over Pakistan’s sovereignty, but to take out that target as an act of self-defence”[9].
Obama stated publicly as far back as July 2007 that he had no qualms whatsoever about using military force against “al-Qaeda” in Pakistan, even without consultation with the Pakistani government[10], provoking outrage in a country that has been a key strategic ally of the United States during the ‘war on terror’. Following his inauguration, Obama did not dawdle in making good on those threats.
The new President carried out the first such strike just three days into his term in office on January 23 2009, killing 22 people inside Pakistani territory and provoking huge protests in the tribal heartlands of North & South Waziristan[11]. The total number of unauthorised U.S. raids inside Pakistani territory since August 2008 now stands at more than 30. Pakistani officials were quick to condemn these attacks as violations of their national sovereignty, pointing out that many civilians have been killed by missiles fired from unmanned drones since the raids began last summer, and emphasising that in terms of winning hearts and minds in the region such aggressions are counter productive to say the least.
Another potential sphere of conflict following Obama’s electoral success is Iran. In a statement made before the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) – widely considered to be the most powerful lobby group representing the interests of any foreign nation in Washington - in March 2007, Obama called Iran “a threat to all of us” and received a standing ovation from the crowd in attendance as he said global leaders must do “whatever it takes” to stop Iran from enriching uranium – refusing to rule out a recourse to force, and called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad “reckless, irresponsible and inattentive”[12].
In an address to the Iranian people given in March 2009, Obama appeared to change tack somewhat, declaring, “The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations. You have that right - but it comes with real responsibilities.”[13] This apparent reference to Iran’s nuclear programme, which the Persian state claims is purely for civilian and not military purposes, reiterates the line taken by the Bush administration. Earlier in the month Barack Obama had extended U.S. sanctions against Iran that began under Bill Clinton in 1995 and had been continued throughout the presidency of George W. Bush, claiming that Iran poses a threat to U.S. “national security”.
The sanctions would have expired automatically had Obama not extended them for another 12 months. In an address to the U.S. congress, the new President stated, “The actions and policies of the government of Iran are contrary to the interests of the United States in the region and pose a continuing and unusual and extraordinary threat”[14]. Obama’s refusal to rule out using force against Iran and his decision to extend American sanctions has not gone unnoticed in Tehran. “Unlimited sanctions which still continue and have been renewed by the United States are wrong and need to be reviewed”, said President Ahmadinejad in response to Obama’s message to the Iranian people. “By fundamentally changing its behaviour America can offer us a friendly hand,” he added. A fundamental change in behaviour does not look on the cards however, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates confirmed as much when he stated, “the opportunity for success in is probably more in economic sanctions [in Iran & North Korea] than it is in diplomacy”[15]
One area of U.S. foreign policy that the newly elected President is coming under increasing pressure to act on is the United States’ controversial relationship with Israel, particularly in the wake of evidence that the Israeli military committed war crimes during the 23-day Gaza war. Barack Obama maintained a deafening silence throughout the Israeli onslaught, which was carried out in the period between his election and his inauguration, even though the then President-elect was vocal in his condemnation of the attacks in Mumbai, and gave numerous statements regarding the global financial crisis during the same period.
In his aforementioned address to AIPAC in March 2007, Barack Obama stated, “We must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs”. The then senator’s performance at the forum received a rave review from the Washington correspondent of Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, who remarked that Obama “sounded as strong as Clinton, as supportive as Bush, as friendly as Giuliani. At least rhetorically, Obama passed any test anyone might have wanted him to pass. So he is pro-Israel. Period.”[16]
Israel has been the largest recipient of foreign aid from the United States since the Second World War, receiving approximately $3 billion per year in grants since 1985[17]. In August 2007 under the government of George W. Bush, the U.S. signed an agreement pledging Israel $30 billion in armaments over the next decade[18]. 26.3% of the money may be spent on arms produced by Israeli manufacturers, with the rest being earmarked for the purchase of weapons and military equipment from U.S. arms producers. Nicholas Burns, the U.S. Undersecretary of State who signed the deal during Bush’s presidency called it an “investment in peace”, saying that, “peace cannot be made without strength”.
Some of the appointments the new President has made since taking office have also done little to assuage those who fear there is little difference between his policies and those of his predecessor. Obama decided to retain Robert Gates as Defense Secretary, who picks up where he left off in the same position to which George W. Bush appointed him.
Obama has appointed Rahm Emanuel, a former investment banker and one-time volunteer in the Israeli army, as his Chief of Staff. Emanuel is a particularly polemic figure in the context of the economic downturn because of his strong ties to Wall Street – he has been one of Congress’ top recipients of Wall Street contributions since his congressional election in 2002. Indeed, Rahm Emanuel was the top House recipient in the 2008 election cycle of contributions from hedge funds, private equity firms and the securities/investment industry[19] – putting him at odds with Obama’s frequent criticism of Wall Street’s financial institutions, although Obama himself also took large contributions from the securities and investment industries[20].
Despite Obama’s affirmation that none of his appointees would be placed in positions that, “directly and substantially related to their prior employer, for two years”, the new President has selected William J. Lynn III as deputy Defense Secretary[21]. This has provoked outrage among peace campaigners and anti-war activists, as Lynn served as head of government relations for arms manufacturer Raytheon, where he was also a top executive, prior to his selection by Obama, prompting accusations of a conflict of interest. In November 2007, Obama announced that,
“I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over. I have done more than any other candidate in this race to take on lobbyists and won. They have not funded my campaign, they will not run my White House, and they will not drown out the voices of the American people when I am president.”

However just weeks into his administration that is already starting to look like dated campaign rhetoric. Other notable lobbyists appointed to high-level positions by Obama include former lobbyist for investment banking giant Goldman Sachs Mark Patterson who has been selected as Chief of Staff at the Treasury[22], Attorney General Eric Holder who formerly lobbied for the now bankrupt telecommunications firm Global Crossing Ltd.[23] and Mona Sutphen, who lobbied for a number of corporate clients including Angliss International, who has been selected as deputy White House Chief of Staff[24].
Finally, one of the first high-profile ‘changes’ Obama made after taking office was to sign an order that many media outlets reported would close the United States’ detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba within a year and return America to “the moral high ground” in the ‘war on terror’[25]. Such reports were premature however, and skated over the fact that Obama has signed executive orders since taking office that preserve and protect the controversial practice of rendition; secret abduction and transfer of prisoners and ‘terror suspects’ to “countries that cooperate with the United States”[26].
Current and former U.S. intelligence officials even stated that there might be an “expansion” of the practice of rendition given that other avenues for ‘interrogation’, such as the transfer of suspects to Guantanamo Bay, have been closed by the government. Obama administration officials confirmed that the orders to shut the CIA’s network of secret prisons “do not refer to facilities used only to hold people on a short-term, transitory basis”, according to the LA Times. Suspects who have been held in secret prisons have given harrowing accounts in recent years of brutal torture experienced at these ‘black world’ camps in countries such as Algeria and Poland, and under executive orders signed by Obama such treatment of detainees will be allowed to continue.
It is frequently stated that Obama and his administration must be given time before judgement can be passed; that perhaps Obama is holding back his more radical policies until he is able to gain a stronger grounding that will enable him to better implement real change.
However, in the face of the available information, this looks like wishful thinking. Barack Obama has unquestionably softened the rhetoric used in comparison with his predecessor, who seemed unmoved by his overwhelming unpopularity and by consistent opposition to his unethical policy decisions. Obama is a much more palatable figure than the likes of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney; he is more charismatic, more charming and clearly more intelligent than the man he has replaced as president, and this has evidently endeared him to many in the U.S. and around the world. The underlying problem is that, as notorious neoconservative commentator Ann Coulter observed whilst commenting on Obama’s handling of issues of ‘national security’, “we ought to be gloating because he seems to be continuing the policies of George Bush”[27].
Smooth rhetoric aside, as of yet there is precious little that distinguishes President Obama from his Republican forerunner in terms of foreign policy and the rolling out of a draconian police state within the United States. It is looking increasingly unlikely with each passing day that those who were wooed by the most expensive presidential campaign in U.S. history and swept Barack Obama into the White House on an unprecedented wave of popular fervour will stand up and hold the new President to account for the flagrant violations of his campaign’s principles that are already piling up within the first hundred days of his term in office.

As President Barack Obama approaches his first 100 days in office, the corporate media prepares a new round of fawning idolatry about the Obama administration’s “achievements,” yet a summary glance at what Obama has actually done in that short time with regard to expanding the Bush police state and the Neo-Con empire is worse than even we predicted.
The day after Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States in November last year, we challenged Obama supporters and the administration itself to follow through on the rhetoric of “change” by starting to dismantle the architecture of the Bush police state and beginning to roll back the unwieldy morass of the American empire. Obama has done neither, and in fact his every action has been about ensuring the Bush police state remains in place, that the people who put it in place are protected from prosecution, and that the empire continues to expand.
We presented Obama and his supporters with a series of issues on which to make progress. While we did not expect Obama to accomplish much in his first few months in office, we at least challenged the new President to take the first steps in reversing eight years of what was a de facto dictatorship and plotting the course for the “change” that was so consistently promised.
We asked the following questions of an Obama presidency;
- Will Obama support Dennis Kucinich’s efforts to bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for deceiving the country into a war or will he protect them against such charges like Nancy Pelosi has done?
In April 2008, Obama promised that as President he would ask his Attorney General to “immediately review” potential war crimes that occurred under the Bush White House. Obama or his Attorney General have done no such thing, and every noise they have made suggests that top Neo-Cons will be protected from deceiving America into a war.
Similarly we asked;
- Will Obama bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for authorizing torture and will the torture of suspects under U.S. detention, a complete violation of both the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions, cease under an Obama administration?
As we found out last week, the answer was a resounding NO.
Upon the release of the torture memos, Obama’s right-hand man, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, told ABC News that top Bush administration officials “should not be prosecuted either and that’s not the place that we go.” In addition, Obama’s statement that accompanied the release of the torture memos stated, “In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution.”
So no retribution for the people who ordered the torture, and no retribution to the people who carried it out, thus setting the precedent that future administrations are free to order torture - safe in the knowledge that they will face no consequences whatsoever.

OBAMA-HOLDER have killed the TORTURE ISSUE by ignoring all the facts from all the parties. I COULD CHANGE THIS DEBATE REAL FUCKING QUICK...TOO BAD HOLDER does not have the character and fitness for the job?.
_________________________________
- Will Obama withdraw American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan without sending them away again to bomb another broken-backed third world country?
The answer again is a resounding NO. Upon taking office, Obama announced that he would be sending another 17,000, and eventually perhaps as many as 30,000, extra troops to Afghanistan.
Regarding Iraq, after the “withdrawal” of U.S. troops in 19 months, a timescale that has since been put back again, “Mr. Obama plans to leave behind a “residual force” of tens of thousands of troops to continue training Iraqi security forces, hunt down foreign terrorist cells and guard American institutions,” reported the New York Times.
In terms of bombing another broken-backed third world country, Obama has beefed the U.S. military role in Pakistan beyond that pursued by the Bush administration and “expanded the covert war run by the Central Intelligence Agency inside Pakistan,” according to the New York TImes, with an increase in missile attacks by drone aircraft.
Meanwhile, Obama’s war chest demands came to a total of around $800 billion in war funds and subsidiary costs just to cover the rest of 2009.
Does any of this sound like a move towards bringing the troops home and rolling back the American empire, as Obama promised before he was elected?
- Will Obama end the warrantless secret surveillance and phone-taps of American citizens?
You’ll be shocked the learn that the answer was a resounding NO.
Earlier this month, “The Obama administration formally adopted the Bush administration’s position that the courts cannot judge the legality of the National Security Agency’s (NSA’s) warrantless wiretapping program,” reported the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
“President Obama promised the American people a new era of transparency, accountability, and respect for civil liberties,” said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. “But with the Obama Justice Department continuing the Bush administration’s cover-up of the National Security Agency’s dragnet surveillance of millions of Americans, and insisting that the much-publicized warrantless wiretapping program is still a ’secret’ that cannot be reviewed by the courts, it feels like deja vu all over again.”
- Will Obama cease his support for the Bush-administration backed banker bailouts, hated by the majority of Americans, and target the real cause of the problem - the Federal Reserve - or will he continue to give taxpayers’ money to banks who are merely hoarding it all for themselves?
Obama’s zealous push for more bailouts, along with increased power for the Federal Reserve and the implementation of global regulations that will effectively end any notion of a free market was perhaps the defining issue of his first 100 days as President. Obama has vigorously promoted the same financial policies that were introduced by the Bush administration in its final few months.
- Will Obama repeal Patriot Acts I and II as well as reversing Bush’s signing statement and acknowledging the repeal of the John Warner Defense Authorization Act?
Will Obama seek to continue the militarization of America and preparations for martial law through Northcom and the secret government or will he dismantle the police state that has been constructed over the last eight years by the Bush administration?

I assure you...OBAMA has not a clue, nor does he have a legal curiosity about HOW THE SURVEILLANCE STATE WORKS, WHAT LAWS ARE BROKEN, AND WHAT BOGUS HOLLOW MANTRAS ARE EMPLOYED TO RATIONALIZE THE RIGHT WING ORWELL MEETS KAFKA POLICE STATE MAD HOUSE.
OBAMA is extorted all the way.
No guts, no glory...nothing new..
_________________
Despite initial rhetoric about reversing Bush’s infamous signing statements, Obama himself stated that he will continue to use signing statements. The Patriot Act and its additions as well as the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, both core planks of the Bush police state, remain firmly in place, with no sign of any reversal.
Regarding militarization through Northcom, weeks after Obama’s election victory it was announced that, “The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.” Militarization of law enforcement and troops being used domestically in preparation for martial law is continuing apace under the Obama administration.
- Will Obama follow through on his rhetorical support for the second amendment or will he seek to ban guns as he did in Illinois?
Despite Obama promising that he was not interested in going after the second amendment before his election, one of his first actions was to appoint the rabidly anti-gun Eric Holder as his Attorney General. Obama has also falsely blamed the drug war crisis in Mexico on American gun shops. The leaked Obama gun ban list would make millions of Americans criminals for owning weapons such certain types of rifles or pistols. Anti-gun legislation has found its way into stimulus and other unrelated bills as pork barrel. The first steps of the Obama administration with regard to gun control have resulted in record firearm and ammunition purchases across the country.
Upon Obama’s election we made a cynical but unfortunately accurate prediction of how the much vaunted promise of “change” would actually manifest itself. The fact is that the “change” began and ended on the day Obama won the election.
- Illegal warrantless surveillance and wiretapping of American citizens will continue under Obama.
- Top Bush administration officials who ordered torture and those that carried it out will be protected from prosecution under Obama.
- Top Bush administration officials who deceived America into a war will be protected from prosecution under Obama.
- The expansion of the military empire through continued occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and further military incursions into Pakistan will continue and expand under Obama.
- Banker bailouts, reckless spending, inflation of currency through overprinting and global regulations stifling the free market, all of which were initiated under Bush, will continue under Obama.

No charges...Mr Holder?
________________
- The militarization of the United States and the architecture of the police state that was set up under Bush will be preserved and expanded under Obama.
- The attack on the second amendment right to bear arms will continue under Obama.
“The egregious spending will continue, government will balloon in size, American soldiers will be used as cannon fodder for more interventionist wars of the military-industrial complex, U.S. citizens will continue to have their phone calls tapped and their rights curtailed,” we forecast last year, “and the Federal Reserve will continue to rule the financial system with an iron fist while the middle class is squeezed out of existence.”
Who can deny that all those things have only intensified under the Obama administration?
The honeymoon is over - Barack Obama has proven himself to be nothing more than we predicted all along - another stooge for the global banking syndicate that has controlled every U.S. president since JFK, and nothing more than a black face on the new world order - sworn to continue and intensify the same agenda that the Bush-Clinton-Bush dynasty advanced before him.

Change you have been told to believe in: A closer examination of Barack Obama’s foreign policy
Freedom of Information
April 17, 2009
“What you want in a media system is ostensible diversity that conceals actual uniformity”
- Joseph Goebbels
The election of Barack Obama has been rightly heralded across the world as a defining moment in the history of the United States. The election of the nation’s first black president is symbolic of the progress made in terms of attitudes towards racial harmony and acceptance in a country where less than fifty years previously basic rights and entitlements were routinely denied to non-white people, and a dehumanising structure incorporating segregation and separation kept people permanently excluded from any sort of meaningful political representation according to their ethnicity.
Obama’s victory has cued an outpouring of elation and hope both among the American people and abroad, which says much for the disastrous two-term presidency that preceded his victory. For many Americans and those of the younger generations in particular, the election of the Democratic candidate represents a rejection of eight years of George W. Bush’s neoconservative rule. The Bush administration was characterised by callous militarism, total disregard for international consensus on matters such as war and torture and policies that have progressively eroded civil and constitutional rights within the United States.
Bush left office with plummeting approval ratings, his hugely unpopular policies having engendered overwhelming anti-American sentiment internationally and created a climate of fear and intimidation in the United States that has undermined the preservation of freedom of speech and justice. The wars started by Bush’s administration have taken an enormous toll; an ORB survey estimates that more than a million Iraqis had died by August 2007 following the 2003 invasion of that country[1], in addition to the millions of displaced, and American military casualties since Bush took office now number more than 5,000, with over 100,000 soldiers estimated wounded.
Public opinion demanded an end to the wars of aggression, the torture and warrantless wiretapping. The American people cried out for an end to the no-bid contracts for Halliburton and a halt to the intimate relationship with the highest echelons of elected power enjoyed by big business. People had had enough of a government which seemed to revel in trampling on the country’s core values, and under whose rule those suspected of being enemies of the state are now guilty until proven innocent. It was in this context that Barack Obama was elected; indeed his campaign could be succinctly represented by one word: “Change”.
Those who elected Obama on anti-war grounds, however, had not read the small print. Indeed, Obama’s status as a champion of pacifism can be attributed in no small part to the stance taken by his Republican opponent during the campaign; compared to John McCain’s overt belligerence, Obama became the candidate of peace by default. Whereas McCain hypothesised that American military involvement in Iraq could continue for “a hundred years”, Obama affirmed in September 2007 that, “[t]here is no military solution in Iraq and there never was. The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq’s leaders to resolve their civil war is to immediately begin to remove our combat troops. Not in six months or one year - now.”[2]
In July 2008, Obama said that a previous commitment and campaign pledge to complete a full withdrawal of combat troops within 16 months could be “refined” at a later date[3], and following his inauguration he indeed extended the timetable for the prospective pullout to between 19 and 23 months[4]. Obama’s current position is that a “residual force” of up to 50,000 troops will be left in the country after this 23-month period has elapsed[5] – giving rise to consternation from anti-war activists and from some within the Democratic Party. There are currently 142,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, and therefore the proposed 50,000-strong residual force represents more than one third of the American forces currently serving in the country. Under an agreement signed between George W. Bush and the Iraqi government in 2008, all U.S. troops must be out of Iraq by December 31st 2011.
Aside from the somewhat confused stance with regards to the Iraq pullout, President Obama has been criticised by opponents of the ‘war on terror’ for pledging to almost double the number of U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan. His proposal to supplement the existing force of 36,000 with an additional 30,000 troops[6] – presumably consisting in no small part of soldiers who have already served in Iraq – contradicts statements made in July 2008, in which Obama had suggested increasing the U.S. presence in Afghanistan by just 7,000[7]. Since taking office, Obama has already dispatched an additional 17,000 U.S. troops to the country[8].
The newly elected President wasted no time whatsoever in continuing another policy inherited from his predecessor; attacks by unmanned drones inside Pakistani territory. In September 2008, Obama called the first attacks carried out by the government of George W. Bush inside Pakistan a “small step in the right direction.” Susan Rice, top foreign policy advisor to Obama’s campaign, said of the raids – undertaken without approval from Islamabad - that the U.S. had a right “Not to invade. Not to take over Pakistan’s sovereignty, but to take out that target as an act of self-defence”[9].
Obama stated publicly as far back as July 2007 that he had no qualms whatsoever about using military force against “al-Qaeda” in Pakistan, even without consultation with the Pakistani government[10], provoking outrage in a country that has been a key strategic ally of the United States during the ‘war on terror’. Following his inauguration, Obama did not dawdle in making good on those threats.
The new President carried out the first such strike just three days into his term in office on January 23 2009, killing 22 people inside Pakistani territory and provoking huge protests in the tribal heartlands of North & South Waziristan[11]. The total number of unauthorised U.S. raids inside Pakistani territory since August 2008 now stands at more than 30. Pakistani officials were quick to condemn these attacks as violations of their national sovereignty, pointing out that many civilians have been killed by missiles fired from unmanned drones since the raids began last summer, and emphasising that in terms of winning hearts and minds in the region such aggressions are counter productive to say the least.
Another potential sphere of conflict following Obama’s electoral success is Iran. In a statement made before the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) – widely considered to be the most powerful lobby group representing the interests of any foreign nation in Washington - in March 2007, Obama called Iran “a threat to all of us” and received a standing ovation from the crowd in attendance as he said global leaders must do “whatever it takes” to stop Iran from enriching uranium – refusing to rule out a recourse to force, and called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad “reckless, irresponsible and inattentive”[12].
In an address to the Iranian people given in March 2009, Obama appeared to change tack somewhat, declaring, “The United States wants the Islamic Republic of Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations. You have that right - but it comes with real responsibilities.”[13] This apparent reference to Iran’s nuclear programme, which the Persian state claims is purely for civilian and not military purposes, reiterates the line taken by the Bush administration. Earlier in the month Barack Obama had extended U.S. sanctions against Iran that began under Bill Clinton in 1995 and had been continued throughout the presidency of George W. Bush, claiming that Iran poses a threat to U.S. “national security”.
The sanctions would have expired automatically had Obama not extended them for another 12 months. In an address to the U.S. congress, the new President stated, “The actions and policies of the government of Iran are contrary to the interests of the United States in the region and pose a continuing and unusual and extraordinary threat”[14]. Obama’s refusal to rule out using force against Iran and his decision to extend American sanctions has not gone unnoticed in Tehran. “Unlimited sanctions which still continue and have been renewed by the United States are wrong and need to be reviewed”, said President Ahmadinejad in response to Obama’s message to the Iranian people. “By fundamentally changing its behaviour America can offer us a friendly hand,” he added. A fundamental change in behaviour does not look on the cards however, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates confirmed as much when he stated, “the opportunity for success in is probably more in economic sanctions [in Iran & North Korea] than it is in diplomacy”[15]
One area of U.S. foreign policy that the newly elected President is coming under increasing pressure to act on is the United States’ controversial relationship with Israel, particularly in the wake of evidence that the Israeli military committed war crimes during the 23-day Gaza war. Barack Obama maintained a deafening silence throughout the Israeli onslaught, which was carried out in the period between his election and his inauguration, even though the then President-elect was vocal in his condemnation of the attacks in Mumbai, and gave numerous statements regarding the global financial crisis during the same period.
In his aforementioned address to AIPAC in March 2007, Barack Obama stated, “We must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs”. The then senator’s performance at the forum received a rave review from the Washington correspondent of Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, who remarked that Obama “sounded as strong as Clinton, as supportive as Bush, as friendly as Giuliani. At least rhetorically, Obama passed any test anyone might have wanted him to pass. So he is pro-Israel. Period.”[16]
Israel has been the largest recipient of foreign aid from the United States since the Second World War, receiving approximately $3 billion per year in grants since 1985[17]. In August 2007 under the government of George W. Bush, the U.S. signed an agreement pledging Israel $30 billion in armaments over the next decade[18]. 26.3% of the money may be spent on arms produced by Israeli manufacturers, with the rest being earmarked for the purchase of weapons and military equipment from U.S. arms producers. Nicholas Burns, the U.S. Undersecretary of State who signed the deal during Bush’s presidency called it an “investment in peace”, saying that, “peace cannot be made without strength”.
Some of the appointments the new President has made since taking office have also done little to assuage those who fear there is little difference between his policies and those of his predecessor. Obama decided to retain Robert Gates as Defense Secretary, who picks up where he left off in the same position to which George W. Bush appointed him.
Obama has appointed Rahm Emanuel, a former investment banker and one-time volunteer in the Israeli army, as his Chief of Staff. Emanuel is a particularly polemic figure in the context of the economic downturn because of his strong ties to Wall Street – he has been one of Congress’ top recipients of Wall Street contributions since his congressional election in 2002. Indeed, Rahm Emanuel was the top House recipient in the 2008 election cycle of contributions from hedge funds, private equity firms and the securities/investment industry[19] – putting him at odds with Obama’s frequent criticism of Wall Street’s financial institutions, although Obama himself also took large contributions from the securities and investment industries[20].
Despite Obama’s affirmation that none of his appointees would be placed in positions that, “directly and substantially related to their prior employer, for two years”, the new President has selected William J. Lynn III as deputy Defense Secretary[21]. This has provoked outrage among peace campaigners and anti-war activists, as Lynn served as head of government relations for arms manufacturer Raytheon, where he was also a top executive, prior to his selection by Obama, prompting accusations of a conflict of interest. In November 2007, Obama announced that,
“I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over. I have done more than any other candidate in this race to take on lobbyists and won. They have not funded my campaign, they will not run my White House, and they will not drown out the voices of the American people when I am president.”

___________________
However just weeks into his administration that is already starting to look like dated campaign rhetoric. Other notable lobbyists appointed to high-level positions by Obama include former lobbyist for investment banking giant Goldman Sachs Mark Patterson who has been selected as Chief of Staff at the Treasury[22], Attorney General Eric Holder who formerly lobbied for the now bankrupt telecommunications firm Global Crossing Ltd.[23] and Mona Sutphen, who lobbied for a number of corporate clients including Angliss International, who has been selected as deputy White House Chief of Staff[24].
Finally, one of the first high-profile ‘changes’ Obama made after taking office was to sign an order that many media outlets reported would close the United States’ detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba within a year and return America to “the moral high ground” in the ‘war on terror’[25]. Such reports were premature however, and skated over the fact that Obama has signed executive orders since taking office that preserve and protect the controversial practice of rendition; secret abduction and transfer of prisoners and ‘terror suspects’ to “countries that cooperate with the United States”[26].
Current and former U.S. intelligence officials even stated that there might be an “expansion” of the practice of rendition given that other avenues for ‘interrogation’, such as the transfer of suspects to Guantanamo Bay, have been closed by the government. Obama administration officials confirmed that the orders to shut the CIA’s network of secret prisons “do not refer to facilities used only to hold people on a short-term, transitory basis”, according to the LA Times. Suspects who have been held in secret prisons have given harrowing accounts in recent years of brutal torture experienced at these ‘black world’ camps in countries such as Algeria and Poland, and under executive orders signed by Obama such treatment of detainees will be allowed to continue.
It is frequently stated that Obama and his administration must be given time before judgement can be passed; that perhaps Obama is holding back his more radical policies until he is able to gain a stronger grounding that will enable him to better implement real change.
However, in the face of the available information, this looks like wishful thinking. Barack Obama has unquestionably softened the rhetoric used in comparison with his predecessor, who seemed unmoved by his overwhelming unpopularity and by consistent opposition to his unethical policy decisions. Obama is a much more palatable figure than the likes of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney; he is more charismatic, more charming and clearly more intelligent than the man he has replaced as president, and this has evidently endeared him to many in the U.S. and around the world. The underlying problem is that, as notorious neoconservative commentator Ann Coulter observed whilst commenting on Obama’s handling of issues of ‘national security’, “we ought to be gloating because he seems to be continuing the policies of George Bush”[27].
Smooth rhetoric aside, as of yet there is precious little that distinguishes President Obama from his Republican forerunner in terms of foreign policy and the rolling out of a draconian police state within the United States. It is looking increasingly unlikely with each passing day that those who were wooed by the most expensive presidential campaign in U.S. history and swept Barack Obama into the White House on an unprecedented wave of popular fervour will stand up and hold the new President to account for the flagrant violations of his campaign’s principles that are already piling up within the first hundred days of his term in office.

Federal prosecutor resigning, hopes to become new voice for conservatives
Johnny Sutton, the lead U.S. prosecutor for the Western District of Texas, will be stepping down from his U.S. Attorney post effective Sunday, at midnight, on April 19.
His resignation garnered a bit of press in Texas, but has gone largely unnoticed by the national media — which helped to hype Sutton’s career in the wake of the sentences meted out to two Border Patrol agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean.
The duo was prosecuted by Sutton’s office and each sentenced to more than a decade in prison for attempting to cover up their roles in shooting a dope smuggler in the posterior in 2005. President Bush, just prior to leaving office this year, commuted the sentences of Ramos and Compean, though did not pardon them for the crime.
Sutton’s pending departure from the U.S. Attorney post based in San Antonio, Texas, provided an opportunity for the Texas media to revisit that case, and to once again give Sutton a soap box to defend his prosecution of the Border Patrol agents as being just, though resulting in sentences that he agrees were too harsh but beyond his control.
But that same media was silent about another case marked by the fingerprints of Sutton, one that cost the lives of at least a dozen people and which, to this day, remains mired in a cover-up that reaches to the top of the departments of Justice and Homeland Security.

______________________
The murders were carried out in 2003 and early 2004 with the assistance of a U.S. government informant overseen by federal agents seeking to make a drug case for Sutton against a Juarez, Mexico-based narco-trafficker named Heriberto Santillan Tabares. That case, dubbed the House of Death, also nearly resulted in the assassination of a DEA agent and his family at the hands of the Santillan criminal cell as a result of decisions made by Sutton’s office that permitted their informant to continue his homicidal assignment. That callous indifference to life, arguably complicity in murder, seemed to work to Sutton’s advantage, allowing him to potentially lay claim to a big drug-case stat to feather his hat and advance his political fortunes.
But a lone DEA commander in El Paso, Texas, threatened to unravel Sutton’s glory when he wrote a memo — delivered to Sutton — decrying the needless murders in the House of Death case and the inexcusable actions of those who allowed the informant to aid and abet those crimes with the blessing of federal agents and prosecutors.
Sutton is no amateur when it comes to the ancient political art of sticking the knife in the back of a perceived enemy, however. And that DEA agent, Sandy Gonzalez, was deemed such a threat.
In order to assure the House of Death remained buried with its victims, Sutton used his connections within the Department of Justice and White House — he rose to power on the coattails of Bush after all — to retaliate against and silence Gonzalez (resulting in his early retirement from the DEA).
The informant, a former Mexican cop named Guillermo Ramirez Peyro, a potential witness against the government in the House of Death case, is now facing the threat of deportation back to Mexico, where even Justice Department attorneys concede he will likely be murdered by the narco-traffickers he betrayed; the only inquiry to date into the House of Death, known as the JAT report, has been deep-sixed by both DEA and ICE, the federal law enforcement agency that employed the informant; Santillan is now in prison in the wake of a sweetheart plea deal cut by Sutton, who dropped the murder charges against the narco-trafficker; and the mainstream media has been deflected (preoccupied by a buttocks shooting) from digging into the cover-up.
The bodies of the House of Death victims, discovered in the backyard of a house in Juarez in 2004, distorted in the grisly poses of the torture that delivered their deaths, are by now little more than bones in the ground that forms the border between Mexico and the U.S., forgotten sacrifices to the hypocrisy of the drug war.
So Sutton, who even staged a press conference earlier this week to broadcast his plans to step down from the U.S. Attorney post, will now step into the private sector in harmony with his compadre, Bush, (who describes Sutton as a “dear friend”) by aligning himself with the former president’s sentence commutation in the Ramos and Compean case — which serves a useful role as a media distraction for a far more heinous act of inhumanity.
“Serving as United States Attorney has been one of the greatest honors of my career and I will be forever grateful to President Bush for giving me the opportunity to fight for justice on behalf of the American people,” Sutton said in prepared remarks announcing his resignation as U.S. Attorney.
Thus, Sutton, with his political future intact thanks to the House of Death cover-up, and with the help of a servant media, is allowed to project an image as a tough-on-crime prosecutor who is willing to take the heat for a “just” prosecution of criminal law enforcers like Compean and Ramos. He is that rare conservative whose principled approach to justice is even respected by liberals.
Yes, this man has a future in politics.
The script has been set in motion, then, played perfectly by Sutton, who recently told the Austin American-Statesman that he has landed a job in the private sector, though he declined to disclose specific details. He also told the same newspaper that he plans to continue using the mainstream media to manipulate reality to his benefit — well, he colored it in more heroic terms designed to play to his base.
From an April 14 story in the Austin American-Statesman:
"The [Ramos and Compean] case was an amazing tidal wave of misinformation," said Sutton, who noted that his critics were mostly right-leaning. "I want to be a conservative voice of reason in the media."
Sutton then punctuates his plans to cultivate a future role as a TV pundit — a move necessary for building the name recognition so essential to a political play on a national level — by saying, according to the Statesman: “I don’t mind a good knife fight.”
Sutton certainly has proven that point — though I wouldn’t recommend turning your back on the man in such a fight.
Narco News did try yet again to get an interview with Sutton to discuss the House of Death case. The PR spokesman for his office promised to run it past Sutton, but no word yet, nor is it likely Sutton will agree to talk about the case.
After all, the mainstream media has given him a pass on his role in the carnage, so why would he willingly sow such a seed with Narco News?
But Sutton should keep in mind that even he cannot control destiny. The House of Death is not going away, even if it has failed, to date, to capture the national media spotlight.
It is like a worm in the wood, gnawing away day and night at the foundation of the phony drug war on which politicians like Sutton choose to build their careers. And one day, as sure as the wind blows across the border, it will all come crashing down on them. And all the corpses buried under that foundation will be, at long last, exposed to the light of day.
And then Sutton will realize that no one can win a knife fight with the dead.
Stay tuned …..

Sutton certainly has proven that point — though I wouldn’t recommend turning your back on the man in such a fight.
Narco News did try yet again to get an interview with Sutton to discuss the House of Death case. The PR spokesman for his office promised to run it past Sutton, but no word yet, nor is it likely Sutton will agree to talk about the case.
After all, the mainstream media has given him a pass on his role in the carnage, so why would he willingly sow such a seed with Narco News?
But Sutton should keep in mind that even he cannot control destiny. The House of Death is not going away, even if it has failed, to date, to capture the national media spotlight.
It is like a worm in the wood, gnawing away day and night at the foundation of the phony drug war on which politicians like Sutton choose to build their careers. And one day, as sure as the wind blows across the border, it will all come crashing down on them. And all the corpses buried under that foundation will be, at long last, exposed to the light of day.
And then Sutton will realize that no one can win a knife fight with the dead.
Stay tuned …..

Obama seeks to boost CIA morale
Mr Obama will talk about the importance of the CIA's mission
US President Barack Obama is to visit the CIA, in a bid to reassure staff stung by the release of memos detailing harsh interrogation techniques.
The visit follows comments by a former CIA chief who said the memos would limit its ability to pursue terrorists.
___________
tommy:
There was nothing in these memos. DC beltway dumbfucks bellyache about nothing while successfully intimidating a very WEAK, GUTLESS, SNIVELING, VERY OVERRATED PUSSY PRETENDING TO BE THE PRESIDENT when everyone on the inside know...OBAMA IS EXTORTED, DID NOT PICK HIS CABINET, AND IS NOTHING BUT A PUPPET ON THE SECRET TEAM'S STRING.
OBAMA is and will be a monumental failure.
There is no difference between OBAMA, AND CHENEY...right?
_______________________
Mr Obama released the memos last week but said CIA staff would not be prosecuted for the methods, which critics say are torture.
It has been revealed that two al-Qaeda suspects were waterboarded 266 times.
Quoting one of the memos, The New York Times said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-confessed planner of the 9/11 attacks, was subjected to the technique, which simulates drowning, 183 times.
The method was used on another suspect, Abu Zubaydah, at least 83 times.
BBC defence and security correspondent Rob Watson says this contrasts starkly with previous accounts given by US intelligence sources that implied both men told all after only the briefest exposure to the technique.
The new information could hardly have emerged at a more sensitive time for President Obama, our correspondent says.
Though highly critical during his election campaign of the CIA's methods, he adds, since coming to office Mr Obama has been anxious to boost morale at the agency and to draw a line under the controversies of its recent past.
CIA 'still exposed'
Mr Obama is expected to deliver a public message on "the importance of the CIA's mission" when he visits the organisation's headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
He will also hold private meetings with staff. Correspondents say he will seek to renew assurances made last week that agents and officials who authorised or carried out harsh interrogation methods will not be prosecuted.

Obama Exceeds Bush in Lawlessness
"Obama has set a precedent of whitewashing White House lawlessness in the name of national security that will lie around like a loaded weapon ready for resurrection by any commander in chief eager to appear “tough on terrorism” and to exploit popular fear."
Former Reagan Justice Department official Bruce Fein writes that Obama's decision to release CIA memos without prosecuting Bush administration officials flouts his constitutional duty.
On Thursday, April 16, in response to a lawsuit initiated by the American Civil Liberties Union, President Barack Obama released four redacted Office of Legal Counsel memoranda from the Bush administration to the CIA justifying torture or cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment. (The CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques were modeled on the Chinese Communist coercive brainwashing program against Americans captured in the Korean War to induce false confessions.) Each memorandum hedged its conclusions with substantial caveats, such as the absence of judicial precedents and concessions that reasonable persons could dispute their exculpatory conclusions. The memoranda were later renounced as bad law.
Obama, however, promised non-prosecution of all CIA personnel complicit in torture who relied on the flawed OLC advice. He further pledged to defend them from criminal investigations initiated by foreign jurisdictions and to indemnify them if they are held liable in damages for constitutional or statutory wrongdoing. Obama is similarly defending former OLC Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo against a torture suit initiated by Jose Padilla, convicted of terrorism in 2007 after the government dropped charges that as an “enemy combatant” he plotted to set off a “dirty bomb.”
The Yoo memoranda on torture have also been renounced and discredited. Obama also promised to follow the Bush-Cheney duumvirate in claiming secrecy for alleged national-security secrets because “the world is dangerous.” Indeed, he did not voluntarily initiate release of the four OLC memoranda, but responded to a Freedom of Information Act suit. And President Obama has echoed the Bush-Cheney state secrets arguments to block lawsuits challenging the legality of spying on Americans without warrants in contravention of the Fourth Amendment or federal law, or seeking damages for torture.
Moreover, Obama has been unable to recite a single instance where transparency proved more dangerous to the liberties of the American people than has secrecy, the birthplace of COINTELPRO, Shamrock, Minaret, Abu Ghraib, and torture of 14 “High Value al Qaeda” detainees in secret prisons abroad (according to the International Committee of the Red Cross).
On the same day Obama was excusing torture and promising more secret government, The New York Times published a front-page story disclosing the National Security Agency’s apparently illegal interceptions of emails and phone calls of American citizens in the United States without individual judicial warrants.
The interceptions exceeded even the sweeping group warrant authority to spy on persons reasonably believed to be outside the United States that were authorized in amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act enacted last September. President Obama has declined to sanction a single official implicated in the latest apparent violation of a statute he supported as a senator. He has similarly chosen non-prosecution for former President Bush, former Vice President Cheney, and high-level officials at the NSA and CIA who authorized more than five years of FISA felonies: namely, warrantless NSA spying on American citizens on American soil in flagrant contravention of FISA, about which more anon.
The evidence is now undeniable.
President Barack Obama is flouting his unflagging constitutional obligation enshrined in Article II, Section 3 to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” He is also reneging on his signature campaign promise to restore the rule of law, transparency, and accountability to the White House. He is displaying the psychology of an arrogant empire as opposed to a modest republic in continuing and escalating the Bush-Cheney duumvirate’s global and perpetual war against international terrorism heedless of foreign sovereignties or the lives of civilians.
Even more disappointing, Obama has proven a political coward dangerous to the republic.
Before April 16, he had decided against any criminal investigation of the Bush-Cheney duumvirate or their inner circles for their boasted complicity in torture, i.e., waterboarding, which Attorney General Eric Holder has declared is torture. He has similarly declined investigations of extraordinary renditions that have occasioned, among other things, the indictments and in absentia trials of 26 CIA operatives in Milan, Italy, for the kidnapping and torture of Egyptian cleric Abu Omar.
Obama made no effort to square his refusal to investigate credible and substantial evidence of felonies with his constitutional obligation to faithfully execute, not sabotage, the laws. He relied solely on politics, as though law was nothing more than a constellation of political calculations with ulterior motives.
Obama insisted that investigations of Bush-Cheney would disturb the Toscanini-like symphony he had promised to the political class in the corridors of power. Comparable political calculations explain why Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai declines to prosecute the countless officials implicated in staggering corruption, inefficiency, and subjugation of women—all of which are deplored by President Obama.
In sweeping the Bush-Cheney lawlessness under the rug, Obama has set a precedent of whitewashing White House lawlessness in the name of national security that will lie around like a loaded weapon ready for resurrection by any commander in chief eager to appear “tough on terrorism” and to exploit popular fear. Obama urges that the crimes were justified because the duumvirate acted to protect the nation from international terrorism. But Congress did not create a national-security defense to torture or commit FISA felonies.
President Obama should have invoked his pardon power if he believed circumstances justified the crimes by Bush and Cheney and the CIA’s interrogators. A pardon or lesser clemency properly exposes the president to political accountability, as Bush discovered with Cheney’s Chief of Staff Scooter Libby and President Ford with former President Nixon. More significant, a pardon does not set a precedent making lawful what was unlawful. It acknowledges the criminality of the underlying activity, and acceptance of the pardon is an admission of guilt by the recipient. Pardons leave unsullied the doctrine of Ex parte Milligan (1866): “The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men at all times and in all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government.”
Obama can be summoned against his own non-prosecution policy, secrecy, and non-accountability. In releasing the four OLC memoranda on April 16, Obama asserted: “Enlisting our values [like the rule of law or transparency] in the protection of our people makes us stronger and more secure. A democracy as resilient as ours must reject the false choice between our security and our ideals [like the rule of law or government in the sunshine]… I believe strongly in transparency and accountability… The United States is a nation of laws.”
These words should be taken cum granis salis. Bush and Cheney also insisted that everything they did was constitutional and indispensable to thwarting another 9/11.
Obama’s promise of change has proven nothing more than verbal jugglery.
Bruce Fein was associate deputy attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, and has authored Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy.

JANE HARMAN dirty on spying with KIKES...gets flipped as a TURNCOAT ON WIRETAPPING
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/20/gonzales-harman-nsa/
Gonzales Stopped FBI Probe Of Rep. Harman Because He ‘Needed Jane’ To Support Warrantless Wiretapping
gonzo0409web.jpgCQ’s
Jeff Stein reports that sometime before the 2006 elections, the National Security Agency wiretapped Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) offering a quid pro quo to unnamed Israeli agents: Harman would lobby the Justice Department to “reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee,” while the Israelis would lobby soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to name Harman chair of the Intelligence Committee.
_______________
tommy:
Does this make sense?
HARMAN gets flipped to back the kikes...with what dirt on Harman? that should have been prosecuted? And then...the kikes are supposed to use leverage on PELOSIWHORE to appoint HARMAN, who is dirty on something?
What is the leverage on all this?
No doubt, the kikes, working with FBI--DOJ--NEOCONS...gave money to HARMAN, who did not report?...to use as leverage to flip DEMS LIKE PUPPETS ON A STRING?
This is enough to lead to ethics investigations of both HARMAN and PELOSIWHORE who are both "puppet sell out scum" who never once did anything other than promote APPEASEMENT OF FASCISM when Enabling laws were passed without debate, holds, or congress reading the WAR COMMISSIONS ACT, PATRIOT ACT, OR FISA SELLOUT?
Want to know why there is no leadership from the punk Dems?
They are extorted and dirty, and just jerk around like puppets.
Also...looks like GONZO is OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE by stopping an indictment and investigation of HARMAN, while also using that to OBSTRUCT THE AIPAC PROSECUTION?
____________________
While this story has been previously reported, “what is new,” Stein reports, is the court-approved NSA wiretap. Previous reports also said that an investigation of Harman was dropped because of “lack of evidence.” However, Stein reports that one official “with first-hand knowledge” of the case “called that ‘bull****’” and that “according to knowledgeable officials,” it was actually then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales who intervened on Harman’s behalf in mid-2005 to stop the FBI’s investigation in exchange for her help selling the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretap program:
[Then-CIA Director Porter] Goss, a former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, deemed the matter particularly urgent because of Harman’s rank as the [House Intelligence] panel’s top Democrat.
But that’s when, according to knowledgeable officials, Attorney General Gonzales intervened. According to two officials privy to the events, Gonzales said he “needed Jane” to help support the administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, which was about to be exposed by the New York Times.
Harman, he told Goss, had helped persuade the newspaper to hold the wiretap story before, on the eve of the 2004 elections. And although it was too late to stop the Times from publishing now, she could be counted on again to help defend the program.
Gonzales was right. Just five days after the Times reported on the NSA program, Harman came out in defense of the Bush administration:
On Dec. 21, 2005, in the midst of a firestorm of criticism about the wiretaps, Harman issued a statement defending the operation and slamming the Times, saying, “I believe it essential to U.S. national security, and that its disclosure has damaged critical intelligence capabilities.”
Indeed, nearly a year later, Harman continued to express her approval. “I support the program,” she said in Feb. 2006.
Stein reports that a spokesman for Harman “declined to discuss the wiretap allegations” but instead issued an “angry denial.” “It’s the deepest kind of corruption which was years in the making,” a national security official involved with the AIPAC investigation said.

Sources: Wiretap Recorded Rep. Harman Promising to Intervene for AIPAC
By Jeff Stein, CQ SpyTalk Columnist
Rep. Jane Harman , the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the most powerful pro-Israel organization in Washington.
Harman was recorded saying she would “waddle into” the AIPAC case “if you think it’ll make a difference,” according to two former senior national security officials familiar with the NSA transcript.
(Join Jeff Stein for a live online chat at 3 p.m. today about his story, or submit a question for Jeff.)
In exchange for Harman’s help, the sources said, the suspected Israeli agent pledged to help lobby Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif., then-House minority leader, to appoint Harman chair of the Intelligence Committee after the 2006 elections, which the Democrats were heavily favored to win.
Seemingly wary of what she had just agreed to, according to an official who read the NSA transcript, Harman hung up after saying, “This conversation doesn’t exist.”
Harman declined to discuss the wiretap allegations, instead issuing an angry denial through a spokesman.
“These claims are an outrageous and recycled canard, and have no basis in fact,” Harman said in a prepared statement. “I never engaged in any such activity. Those who are peddling these false accusations should be ashamed of themselves.”
It’s true that allegations of pro-Israel lobbyists trying to help Harman get the chairmanship of the intelligence panel by lobbying and raising money for Pelosi aren’t new.
They were widely reported in 2006, along with allegations that the FBI launched an investigation of Harman that was eventually dropped for a “lack of evidence.”
What is new is that Harman is said to have been picked up on a court-approved NSA tap directed at alleged Israel covert action operations in Washington.
And that, contrary to reports that the Harman investigation was dropped for “lack of evidence,” it was Alberto R. Gonzales, President Bush’s top counsel and then attorney general, who intervened to stop the Harman probe.
Why? Because, according to three top former national security officials, Gonzales wanted Harman to be able to help defend the administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, which was about break in The New York Times and engulf the White House.

Israeli Spying:
The Mother of all Scandals
Once again, Israel has been caught with spies at the highest levels of the US Government.
At the heart of the investigation are two people who work at The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington. The FBI investigation, headed up by Dave Szady, has involved wiretaps, undercover surveillance and photography that CBS News was told document the passing of classified information from the mole, to the men at AIPAC, and on to the Israelis.
CBS sources say that last year the suspected spy, described as a trusted analyst at the Pentagon, turned over a presidential directive on U.S. policy toward Iran while it was, "in the draft phase when U.S. policy-makers were still debating the policy." This put the Israelis, according to one source, "inside the decision-making loop" so they could "try to influence the outcome." [CBS News]
Once again Israel denies wrongdoing, or faced with incontrovertible evidence (in this case one of the spies has reportedly cooperated with the FBI) dismisses the spying with the claim that such spying is harmless, because Israel and the United States are such good friends.
Well, let us take a closer look at that idea of “harmless espionage” by recalling Israel’s most famous failed spy, Jonathan Pollard.
Jonathan Pollard is an American of Jewish descent, born in Galveston Texas, who established a career as an intelligence analyst for the US Navy. There have been many theories offered as to why Pollard decided to betray his country of birth to the Jewish state, but that Pollard did betray his country of birth to Israel is beyond all doubt. Pollard’s defense was that he did not spy so much against the United States, only that he spied for Israel, sending them documents that in his opinion the US should have shared with Israel anyway.
That it was never Pollards job to decide what documents Israel should have was apparently irrelevant. Pollard arrogated that authority to himself. From his position of trust within the US Navy, Pollard delivered over 1000 classified documents to Israel for which he was well paid. Included in those documents were the names of over 150 US agents in the Mideast, who were eventually “turned” into agents for Israel.
But by far the most egregious damage done by Pollard was to steal classified documents relating to the US Nuclear Deterrent relative to the USSR and send them to Israel. According to sources in the US State Department, Israel then turned around and traded those stolen nuclear secrets to the USSR in exchange for increased emigration quotas from the USSR to Israel. Other information that found its way from the US to Israel to the USSR resulted in the loss of American agents operating inside the USSR. Casper Weinberger, in his affidavit opposing a reduced sentence for Pollard, described the damage done to the United States thus, "[It is] difficult to conceive of a greater harm to national security than that caused by... Pollard's treasonous behavior."
This should end the suggestion that Israel’s spies are harmless. They are not. The United States’ nuclear deterrent cost an estimated five trillion taxpayer dollars during the 50s and 60s to build and maintain, and less than $100,000 for Pollard to undermine. Israel waited 13 years to admit Pollard had been spying for them, and now lobbies for his release, having granted him Israeli citizenship.
Pollard is hardly the only Israeli spy operating in the United States. He just had the misfortune to get caught. Here are just a few examples of the Israeli spy operations that have been detected.
1947. Information collected by the ADL in its spy operations on US citizens is used by the House Select Committee on Unamerican Activities. Subcommittee Chair Clare Hoffman dismisses the ADL’s reports on suspected communists as “hearsay."
1950 John Davitt, former chief of the Justice Department's internal security section notes that the Israeli intelligence service is the second most active in the United States after the Soviets.
1954 A hidden microphone planted by the Israelis is discovered in the Office of the US Ambassador in Tel Aviv.
1956 Telephone taps are found connected to two telephones in the residence of the US military attaché in Tel Aviv.
1954 "The Lavon Affair". Israeli agents recruit Egyptian citizens of Jewish descent to bomb Western targets in Egypt, and plant evidence to frame Arabs, in an apparent attempt to upset US-Egyptian relations. Israeli defense minister Pinchas Lavon is eventually removed from office, though many think real responsibility lay with David Ben-Gurion.
1965 Israel apparently illegally obtains enriched uranium from NUMEC Corporation. (Washington Post, 6/5/86, Charles R. Babcock, "US an Intelligence Target of the Israelis, Officials Say.")
___________
tommy:
ISRAEL also got enriched uranium from KERR--McGee in Oklahoma...a whistleblower got murdered over that...the lawsuit showed alot of missing radioactive material, and the spooks came out of the woodwork.
______________
1967 Israel attacks the USS Liberty, an intelligence gathering vessel flying a US flag, killing 34 crew members. See "Assault on the Liberty," by James M. Ennes, Jr. (Random House). In 2004, Captain Ward Boston, Senior Legal Counsel for the Navy’s Court of Inquiry into the attack swears under oath that President Lyndon Johnson ordered the investigation to conclude accident, even though the evidence indicates the attack was deliberate. Given the use by Israel of unmarked boats and planes, and the machine-gunning of USS Liberty’s lifeboats, the most likely explanation is that USS Liberty was to be sunk with all hands, with evidence left to frame Egypt for the sinking. This would have dragged the US into the war on Israel’s side.
1970 While working for Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Richard Perle is caught by the FBI giving classified information to Israel. Nothing is done.
1978, Stephen Bryen, then a Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffer, is overheard in a DC hotel offering confidential documents to top Israeli military officials. Bryen obtains a lawyer, Nathan Lewin, and the case heads for the grand jury, but is mysteriously dropped. Bryen later goes to work for Richard Perle.
1979 Shin Beth [the Israeli internal security agency] tries to penetrate the US Consulate General in Jerusalem through a “Honey Trap”, using a clerical employee who was having an affair with a Jerusalem girl.
1985 The New York Times reports the FBI is aware of at least a dozen incidents in which American officials transferred classified information to the Israelis, quoting [former Assistant Director of the F.B.I.] Mr. [Raymond] Wannal. The Justice Department does not prosecute.
1985 Richard Smyth, the owner of MILCO, is indicted on charges of smuggling nuclear timing devices to Israel (Washington Post, 10/31/86).
1987 April 24 Wall Street Journal headline: "Role of Israel in Iran-Contra Scandal Won't be Explored in Detail by Panels"
1992 The Wall Street Journal reports that Israeli agents apparently tried to steal Recon Optical Inc's top-secret airborne spy-camera system.
1992 Stephen Bryen, caught offering confidential documents to Israel in 1978, is serving on board of the pro-Israeli Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs while continuing as a paid consultant -- with security clearance -- on exports of sensitive US technology.
1992 "The Samson Option," by Seymour M. Hersh reports, “Illicitly obtained intelligence was flying so voluminously from LAKAM into Israeli intelligence that a special code name, JUMBO, was added to the security markings already on the documents. There were strict orders, Ari Ben-Menashe recalled: "Anything marked JUMBO was not supposed to be discussed with your American counterparts."
1993. The ADL is caught operating a massive spying operation on critics of Israel, Arab-Americans, the San Francisco Labor Council, ILWU Local 10, Oakland Educational Association, NAACP, Irish Northern Aid, International Indian Treaty Council, the Asian Law Caucus and the San Francisco police. Data collected was sent to Israel and in some cases to South Africa. Pressure from Jewish organizations forces the city to drop the criminal case, but the ADL settles a civil lawsuit for an undisclosed sum of cash.
1995 The Defense Investigative Service circulates a memo warning US military contractors that "Israel aggressively collects [US] military and industrial technology." The report stated that Israel obtains information using "ethnic targeting, financial aggrandizement, and identification and exploitation of individual frailties" of US citizens.
1996 A General Accounting Office report "Defense Industrial Security: Weaknesses in US Security Arrangements With Foreign-Owned Defense Contractors" found that according to intelligence sources "Country A" (identified by intelligence sources as Israel, Washington Times, 2/22/96) "conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally." The Jerusalem Post (8/30/96) quoted the report, "Classified military information and sensitive military technologies are high-priority targets for the intelligence agencies of this country." The report described "An espionage operation run by the intelligence organization responsible for collecting scientific and technologic information for [Israel] paid a US government employee to obtain US classified military intelligence documents." The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (Shawn L. Twing, April 1996) noted that this was "a reference to the 1985 arrest of Jonathan Pollard, a civilian US naval intelligence analyst who provided Israel's LAKAM [Office of Special Tasks] espionage agency an estimated 800,000 pages of classified US intelligence information."
The GAO report also noted that "Several citizens of [Israel] were caught in the United States stealing sensitive technology used in manufacturing artillery gun tubes."
1996 An Office of Naval Intelligence document, "Worldwide Challenges to Naval Strike Warfare" reported that "US technology has been acquired [by China] through Israel in the form of the Lavi fighter and possibly SAM [surface-to-air] missile technology." Jane's Defense Weekly (2/28/96) noted that "until now, the intelligence community has not openly confirmed the transfer of US technology [via Israel] to China." The report noted that this "represents a dramatic step forward for Chinese military aviation." (Flight International, 3/13/96)
1997 An Army mechanical engineer, David A. Tenenbaum, "inadvertently" gives classified military information on missile systems and armored vehicles to Israeli officials (New York Times, 2/20/97).
1997 The Washington Post reports US intelligence has intercepted a conversation in which two Israeli officials had discussed the possibility of getting a confidential letter that then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher had written to Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat. One of the Israelis, identified only as “Dov”, had commented that they may get the letter from "Mega”, the code name for Israel’s top agent inside the United States.
1997 US ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, complains privately to the Israeli government about heavy-handed surveillance by Israeli intelligence agents.
1997 Israeli agents place a tap on Monica Lewinsky’s phone at the Watergate and record phone sex sessions between her and President Bill Clinton. The Ken Starr report confirms that Clinton warned Lewinsky their conversations were being taped and ended the affair. At the same time, the FBI’s hunt for “Mega” is called off.
2001 It is discovered that US drug agents’ communications have been penetrated. Suspicion falls on two companies, AMDOCS and Comverse Infosys, both owned by Israelis. AMDOCS generates billing data for most US phone companies and is able to provide detailed logs of who is talking to whom. Comverse Infosys builds the tapping equipment used by law enforcement to eavesdrop on all American telephone calls, but suspicion forms that Comverse, which gets half of its research and development budget from the Israeli government, has built a back door into the system that is being exploited by Israeli intelligence and that the information gleaned on US drug interdiction efforts is finding its way to drug smugglers.
The investigation by the FBI leads to the exposure of the largest foreign spy ring ever uncovered inside the United States, operated by Israel. Half of the suspected spies have been arrested when 9-11 happens. On 9-11, 5 Israelis are arrested for dancing and cheering while the World Trade Towers collapse. Supposedly employed by Urban Moving Systems, the Israelis are caught with multiple passports and a lot of cash. Two of them are later revealed to be Mossad. As witness reports track the activity of the Israelis, it emerges that they were seen at Liberty Park at the time of the first impact, suggesting a foreknowledge of what was to come.
The Israelis are interrogated, and then eventually sent back to Israel. The owner of the moving company used as a cover by the Mossad agents abandons his business and flees to Israel. The United States Government then classifies all of the evidence related to the Israeli agents and their connections to 9-11. All of this is reported to the public via a four part story on Fox News by Carl Cameron. Pressure from Jewish groups, primarily AIPAC, forces Fox News to remove the story from their website. Two hours prior to the 9-11 attacks, Odigo, an Israeli company with offices just a few blocks from the World Trade Towers, receives an advance warning via the internet. The manager of the New York Office provides the FBI with the IP address of the sender of the message, but the FBI does not follow up.
2001 The FBI is investigating 5 Israeli moving companies as possible fronts for Israeli intelligence.
2001 JDL’s Irv Rubin arrested for planning to bomb a US Congressman. He dies before he can be brought to trial.
2002 The DEA issues a report that Israeli spies, posing as art students, have been trying to penetrate US Government offices.
2002 police near the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in southern Washington State stop a suspicious truck and detain two Israelis, one of whom is illegally in the United States. The two men were driving at high speed in a Ryder rental truck, which they claimed had been used to "deliver furniture." The next day, police discovered traces of TNT and RDX military-grade plastic explosives inside the passenger cabin and on the steering wheel of the vehicle. The FBI then announces that the tests that showed explosives were “false positived” by cigarette smoke, a claim test experts say is ridiculous. Based on an alibi provided by a woman, the case is closed and the Israelis are handed over to INS to be sent back to Israel. One week later, the woman who provided the alibi vanishes.
2003 The Police Chief of Cloudcroft stops a truck speeding through a school zone. The drivers turn out to be Israelis with expired passports. Claiming to be movers, the truck contains junk furniture and several boxes. The Israelis are handed over to immigration. The contents of the boxers are not revealed to the public.
2003 Israel deploys assassination squads into other countries, including the United States. The US Government does not protest.
2004 Police near the Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Tennessee stop a truck after a three mile chase, during which the driver throws a bottle containing a strange liquid from the cab. The drivers turn out to be Israelis using fake Ids. The FBI refuses to investigate and the Israelis are released.
2004 Two Israelis try to enter Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, home to eight Trident submarines. The truck tests positive for explosives.
This brings us to the present scandal. Two years into an investigation of AIPAC’s possible role as a spy front for Israel, Larry Franklin, a mid-level Pentagon Analyst is observed by the FBI giving classified information to two officials of AIPAC suspected of being Israeli spies. AIPAC hires lawyer Nathan Lewin to handle their legal defense, the same lawyer who defended suspected Israeli spy Stephen Bryen in 1978.
Larry Franklin worked in the Pentagon Office of Special Plans, run by Richard Perle, at the time Perle (who was caught giving classified information to Israel back in 1970) was insisting that Iraq was crawling with weapons of mass destruction requiring the United States to invade and conquer Iraq. There were no WMDs, of course, and Perle has dumped the blame for the “bad intelligence” on George Tenet. But what is known is that the Pentagon Office of Special Plans was coordinating with a similar group in Israel, in Ariel Sharon’s office.
With two suspected Israeli spies (at least) inside the office from which the lies that launched the war in Iraq originated, it appears that the people of the United States are the victims of a deadly hoax, a hoax that started a war.
The leaking of the investigation of AIPAC to the media on August 28th, 2004 gave advance warning to other spies working with Franklin. The damage to the FBI’s investigation was completed when United States Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered the FBI to stop all arrests in the case. Like the Stephen Bryen case and the hunt for “Mega”, this latest spy scandal seems destined to be buried by officials who have their own secret allegiances to protect, barring a massive public outcry.
The organization at the heart of the latest spy investigation, AIPAC, wields tremendous influence over the US Congress. Through its members and affiliated PACs, AIPAC directs a huge flow of campaign cash in favor of, and occasionally against, Senators and Representatives solely on the basis of their willingness to support Israel. As an example, in 2002, U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, D-Birmingham received so much help from pro-Israeli pacs that 76% of his campaign budget came from OUTSIDE the state of Alabama, mostly from New York.
Let me repeat that. A Congressman AIPAC wanted elected received more money from pro-Israel groups outside his state than from his own constituents inside his state. Who is that Congressman going to be thinking of when he votes in Congress?
So here is the mother of all scandals.
For two years, the FBI has suspected AIPAC of spying for a foreign country, and for those two years (and for decades before) that group suspected of spying for Israel has been reshaping the US Congress for the benefit of a foreign government.
And THAT is the mother of all scandals.
Think about that as billions of your tax dollars flow to Israel while your roads and schools crumble and decay and services are cut.
Think about that as the coffins come home with your loved ones inside.
Think about that when you and a million of your fellow citizens march down the streets of America opposing wars built on lies and deceptions and wonder why the government just doesn’t want to listen to you any more.
Gonzales Stopped FBI Probe Of Rep. Harman Because He ‘Needed Jane’ To Support Warrantless Wiretapping
gonzo0409web.jpgCQ’s
Jeff Stein reports that sometime before the 2006 elections, the National Security Agency wiretapped Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) offering a quid pro quo to unnamed Israeli agents: Harman would lobby the Justice Department to “reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee,” while the Israelis would lobby soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to name Harman chair of the Intelligence Committee.
_______________
tommy:
Does this make sense?
HARMAN gets flipped to back the kikes...with what dirt on Harman? that should have been prosecuted? And then...the kikes are supposed to use leverage on PELOSIWHORE to appoint HARMAN, who is dirty on something?
What is the leverage on all this?
No doubt, the kikes, working with FBI--DOJ--NEOCONS...gave money to HARMAN, who did not report?...to use as leverage to flip DEMS LIKE PUPPETS ON A STRING?
This is enough to lead to ethics investigations of both HARMAN and PELOSIWHORE who are both "puppet sell out scum" who never once did anything other than promote APPEASEMENT OF FASCISM when Enabling laws were passed without debate, holds, or congress reading the WAR COMMISSIONS ACT, PATRIOT ACT, OR FISA SELLOUT?
Want to know why there is no leadership from the punk Dems?
They are extorted and dirty, and just jerk around like puppets.
Also...looks like GONZO is OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE by stopping an indictment and investigation of HARMAN, while also using that to OBSTRUCT THE AIPAC PROSECUTION?

Israeli agents recruit Egyptian citizens of Jewish descent to bomb Western targets in Egypt, and plant evidence to frame Arabs, in an apparent attempt to upset US-Egyptian relations. Israeli defense minister Pinchas Lavon is eventually removed from office, though many think real responsibility lay with David Ben-Gurion.
1965 Israel apparently illegally obtains enriched uranium from NUMEC Corporation. (Washington Post, 6/5/86, Charles R. Babcock, "US an Intelligence Target of the Israelis, Officials Say.")
___________
tommy:
ISRAEL also got enriched uranium from KERR--McGee in Oklahoma...a whistleblower got murdered over that...the lawsuit showed alot of missing radioactive material, and the spooks came out of the woodwork.

1967 Israel attacks the USS Liberty, an intelligence gathering vessel flying a US flag, killing 34 crew members. See "Assault on the Liberty," by James M. Ennes, Jr. (Random House). In 2004, Captain Ward Boston, Senior Legal Counsel for the Navy’s Court of Inquiry into the attack swears under oath that President Lyndon Johnson ordered the investigation to conclude accident, even though the evidence indicates the attack was deliberate. Given the use by Israel of unmarked boats and planes, and the machine-gunning of USS Liberty’s lifeboats, the most likely explanation is that USS Liberty was to be sunk with all hands, with evidence left to frame Egypt for the sinking. This would have dragged the US into the war on Israel’s side.
1970 While working for Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Richard Perle is caught by the FBI giving classified information to Israel. Nothing is done.
1978, Stephen Bryen, then a Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffer, is overheard in a DC hotel offering confidential documents to top Israeli military officials. Bryen obtains a lawyer, Nathan Lewin, and the case heads for the grand jury, but is mysteriously dropped. Bryen later goes to work for Richard Perle.
1979 Shin Beth [the Israeli internal security agency] tries to penetrate the US Consulate General in Jerusalem through a “Honey Trap”, using a clerical employee who was having an affair with a Jerusalem girl.
1985 The New York Times reports the FBI is aware of at least a dozen incidents in which American officials transferred classified information to the Israelis, quoting [former Assistant Director of the F.B.I.] Mr. [Raymond] Wannal. The Justice Department does not prosecute.
1985 Richard Smyth, the owner of MILCO, is indicted on charges of smuggling nuclear timing devices to Israel (Washington Post, 10/31/86).
1987 April 24 Wall Street Journal headline: "Role of Israel in Iran-Contra Scandal Won't be Explored in Detail by Panels"
1992 The Wall Street Journal reports that Israeli agents apparently tried to steal Recon Optical Inc's top-secret airborne spy-camera system.
1992 Stephen Bryen, caught offering confidential documents to Israel in 1978, is serving on board of the pro-Israeli Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs while continuing as a paid consultant -- with security clearance -- on exports of sensitive US technology.
1992 "The Samson Option," by Seymour M. Hersh reports, “Illicitly obtained intelligence was flying so voluminously from LAKAM into Israeli intelligence that a special code name, JUMBO, was added to the security markings already on the documents. There were strict orders, Ari Ben-Menashe recalled: "Anything marked JUMBO was not supposed to be discussed with your American counterparts."
1993. The ADL is caught operating a massive spying operation on critics of Israel, Arab-Americans, the San Francisco Labor Council, ILWU Local 10, Oakland Educational Association, NAACP, Irish Northern Aid, International Indian Treaty Council, the Asian Law Caucus and the San Francisco police. Data collected was sent to Israel and in some cases to South Africa. Pressure from Jewish organizations forces the city to drop the criminal case, but the ADL settles a civil lawsuit for an undisclosed sum of cash.
1995 The Defense Investigative Service circulates a memo warning US military contractors that "Israel aggressively collects [US] military and industrial technology." The report stated that Israel obtains information using "ethnic targeting, financial aggrandizement, and identification and exploitation of individual frailties" of US citizens.
1996 A General Accounting Office report "Defense Industrial Security: Weaknesses in US Security Arrangements With Foreign-Owned Defense Contractors" found that according to intelligence sources "Country A" (identified by intelligence sources as Israel, Washington Times, 2/22/96) "conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally." The Jerusalem Post (8/30/96) quoted the report, "Classified military information and sensitive military technologies are high-priority targets for the intelligence agencies of this country." The report described "An espionage operation run by the intelligence organization responsible for collecting scientific and technologic information for [Israel] paid a US government employee to obtain US classified military intelligence documents." The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (Shawn L. Twing, April 1996) noted that this was "a reference to the 1985 arrest of Jonathan Pollard, a civilian US naval intelligence analyst who provided Israel's LAKAM [Office of Special Tasks] espionage agency an estimated 800,000 pages of classified US intelligence information."
The GAO report also noted that "Several citizens of [Israel] were caught in the United States stealing sensitive technology used in manufacturing artillery gun tubes."
1996 An Office of Naval Intelligence document, "Worldwide Challenges to Naval Strike Warfare" reported that "US technology has been acquired [by China] through Israel in the form of the Lavi fighter and possibly SAM [surface-to-air] missile technology." Jane's Defense Weekly (2/28/96) noted that "until now, the intelligence community has not openly confirmed the transfer of US technology [via Israel] to China." The report noted that this "represents a dramatic step forward for Chinese military aviation." (Flight International, 3/13/96)
1997 An Army mechanical engineer, David A. Tenenbaum, "inadvertently" gives classified military information on missile systems and armored vehicles to Israeli officials (New York Times, 2/20/97).
1997 The Washington Post reports US intelligence has intercepted a conversation in which two Israeli officials had discussed the possibility of getting a confidential letter that then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher had written to Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat. One of the Israelis, identified only as “Dov”, had commented that they may get the letter from "Mega”, the code name for Israel’s top agent inside the United States.
1997 US ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, complains privately to the Israeli government about heavy-handed surveillance by Israeli intelligence agents.
1997 Israeli agents place a tap on Monica Lewinsky’s phone at the Watergate and record phone sex sessions between her and President Bill Clinton. The Ken Starr report confirms that Clinton warned Lewinsky their conversations were being taped and ended the affair. At the same time, the FBI’s hunt for “Mega” is called off.
2001 It is discovered that US drug agents’ communications have been penetrated. Suspicion falls on two companies, AMDOCS and Comverse Infosys, both owned by Israelis. AMDOCS generates billing data for most US phone companies and is able to provide detailed logs of who is talking to whom. Comverse Infosys builds the tapping equipment used by law enforcement to eavesdrop on all American telephone calls, but suspicion forms that Comverse, which gets half of its research and development budget from the Israeli government, has built a back door into the system that is being exploited by Israeli intelligence and that the information gleaned on US drug interdiction efforts is finding its way to drug smugglers.
The investigation by the FBI leads to the exposure of the largest foreign spy ring ever uncovered inside the United States, operated by Israel. Half of the suspected spies have been arrested when 9-11 happens. On 9-11, 5 Israelis are arrested for dancing and cheering while the World Trade Towers collapse. Supposedly employed by Urban Moving Systems, the Israelis are caught with multiple passports and a lot of cash. Two of them are later revealed to be Mossad. As witness reports track the activity of the Israelis, it emerges that they were seen at Liberty Park at the time of the first impact, suggesting a foreknowledge of what was to come.
The Israelis are interrogated, and then eventually sent back to Israel. The owner of the moving company used as a cover by the Mossad agents abandons his business and flees to Israel. The United States Government then classifies all of the evidence related to the Israeli agents and their connections to 9-11. All of this is reported to the public via a four part story on Fox News by Carl Cameron. Pressure from Jewish groups, primarily AIPAC, forces Fox News to remove the story from their website. Two hours prior to the 9-11 attacks, Odigo, an Israeli company with offices just a few blocks from the World Trade Towers, receives an advance warning via the internet. The manager of the New York Office provides the FBI with the IP address of the sender of the message, but the FBI does not follow up.
2001 The FBI is investigating 5 Israeli moving companies as possible fronts for Israeli intelligence.
2001 JDL’s Irv Rubin arrested for planning to bomb a US Congressman. He dies before he can be brought to trial.
2002 The DEA issues a report that Israeli spies, posing as art students, have been trying to penetrate US Government offices.
2002 police near the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in southern Washington State stop a suspicious truck and detain two Israelis, one of whom is illegally in the United States. The two men were driving at high speed in a Ryder rental truck, which they claimed had been used to "deliver furniture." The next day, police discovered traces of TNT and RDX military-grade plastic explosives inside the passenger cabin and on the steering wheel of the vehicle. The FBI then announces that the tests that showed explosives were “false positived” by cigarette smoke, a claim test experts say is ridiculous. Based on an alibi provided by a woman, the case is closed and the Israelis are handed over to INS to be sent back to Israel. One week later, the woman who provided the alibi vanishes.
2003 The Police Chief of Cloudcroft stops a truck speeding through a school zone. The drivers turn out to be Israelis with expired passports. Claiming to be movers, the truck contains junk furniture and several boxes. The Israelis are handed over to immigration. The contents of the boxers are not revealed to the public.
2003 Israel deploys assassination squads into other countries, including the United States. The US Government does not protest.
2004 Police near the Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Tennessee stop a truck after a three mile chase, during which the driver throws a bottle containing a strange liquid from the cab. The drivers turn out to be Israelis using fake Ids. The FBI refuses to investigate and the Israelis are released.
2004 Two Israelis try to enter Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, home to eight Trident submarines. The truck tests positive for explosives.
This brings us to the present scandal. Two years into an investigation of AIPAC’s possible role as a spy front for Israel, Larry Franklin, a mid-level Pentagon Analyst is observed by the FBI giving classified information to two officials of AIPAC suspected of being Israeli spies. AIPAC hires lawyer Nathan Lewin to handle their legal defense, the same lawyer who defended suspected Israeli spy Stephen Bryen in 1978.
Larry Franklin worked in the Pentagon Office of Special Plans, run by Richard Perle, at the time Perle (who was caught giving classified information to Israel back in 1970) was insisting that Iraq was crawling with weapons of mass destruction requiring the United States to invade and conquer Iraq. There were no WMDs, of course, and Perle has dumped the blame for the “bad intelligence” on George Tenet. But what is known is that the Pentagon Office of Special Plans was coordinating with a similar group in Israel, in Ariel Sharon’s office.
With two suspected Israeli spies (at least) inside the office from which the lies that launched the war in Iraq originated, it appears that the people of the United States are the victims of a deadly hoax, a hoax that started a war.
The leaking of the investigation of AIPAC to the media on August 28th, 2004 gave advance warning to other spies working with Franklin. The damage to the FBI’s investigation was completed when United States Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered the FBI to stop all arrests in the case. Like the Stephen Bryen case and the hunt for “Mega”, this latest spy scandal seems destined to be buried by officials who have their own secret allegiances to protect, barring a massive public outcry.
The organization at the heart of the latest spy investigation, AIPAC, wields tremendous influence over the US Congress. Through its members and affiliated PACs, AIPAC directs a huge flow of campaign cash in favor of, and occasionally against, Senators and Representatives solely on the basis of their willingness to support Israel. As an example, in 2002, U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, D-Birmingham received so much help from pro-Israeli pacs that 76% of his campaign budget came from OUTSIDE the state of Alabama, mostly from New York.
Let me repeat that. A Congressman AIPAC wanted elected received more money from pro-Israel groups outside his state than from his own constituents inside his state. Who is that Congressman going to be thinking of when he votes in Congress?
So here is the mother of all scandals.
For two years, the FBI has suspected AIPAC of spying for a foreign country, and for those two years (and for decades before) that group suspected of spying for Israel has been reshaping the US Congress for the benefit of a foreign government.
And THAT is the mother of all scandals.
Think about that as billions of your tax dollars flow to Israel while your roads and schools crumble and decay and services are cut.
Think about that as the coffins come home with your loved ones inside.
Think about that when you and a million of your fellow citizens march down the streets of America opposing wars built on lies and deceptions and wonder why the government just doesn’t want to listen to you any more.

Controlled and Extorted OBAMA loses the left who stupidly believed in Hope
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naomi-klein/hopeover-hopelash-hopebre_b_188180.html
HopeOver, HopeLash, HopeBreak: A Lexicon of Disappointment
All is not well in Obamafanland. It's not clear exactly what accounts for the change of mood. Maybe it was the rancid smell emanating from Treasury's latest bank bailout. Or the news that the president's chief economic adviser, Larry Summers, earned millions from the very Wall Street banks and hedge funds he is protecting from reregulation now. Or perhaps it began earlier, with Obama's silence during Israel's Gaza attack.
Whatever the last straw, a growing number of Obama enthusiasts are starting to entertain the possibility that their man is not, in fact, going to save the world if we all just hope really hard.
This is a good thing. If the superfan culture that brought Obama to power is going to transform itself into an independent political movement, one fierce enough to produce programs capable of meeting the current crises, we are all going to have to stop hoping and start demanding.
The first stage, however, is to understand fully the awkward in-between space in which many US progressive movements find themselves. To do that, we need a new language, one specific to the Obama moment. Here is a start.
Hopeover. Like a hangover, a hopeover comes from having overindulged in something that felt good at the time but wasn't really all that healthy, leading to feelings of remorse, even shame. It's the political equivalent of the crash after a sugar high. Sample sentence: "When I listened to Obama's economic speech my heart soared. But then, when I tried to tell a friend about his plans for the millions of layoffs and foreclosures, I found myself saying nothing at all. I've got a serious hopeover."
Hoper coaster. Like a roller coaster, the hoper coaster describes the intense emotional peaks and valleys of the Obama era, the veering between joy at having a president who supports safe-sex education and despondency that single-payer healthcare is off the table at the very moment when it could actually become a reality. Sample sentence: "I was so psyched when Obama said he is closing Guantánamo. But now they are fighting like mad to make sure the prisoners in Bagram have no legal rights at all. Stop this hoper coaster -- I want to get off!"
Hopesick. Like the homesick, hopesick individuals are intensely nostalgic. They miss the rush of optimism from the campaign trail and are forever trying to recapture that warm, hopey feeling--usually by exaggerating the significance of relatively minor acts of Obama decency. Sample sentences: "I was feeling really hopesick about the escalation in Afghanistan, but then I watched a YouTube video of Michelle in her organic garden and it felt like inauguration day all over again. A few hours later, when I heard that the Obama administration was boycotting a major UN racism conference, the hopesickness came back hard. So I watched slideshows of Michelle wearing clothes made by ethnically diverse independent fashion designers, and that sort of helped."
Hope fiend. With hope receding, the hope fiend, like the dope fiend, goes into serious withdrawal, willing to do anything to chase the buzz. (Closely related to hopesickness but more severe, usually affecting middle-aged males.) Sample sentence: "Joe told me he actually believes Obama deliberately brought in Summers so that he would blow the bailout, and then Obama would have the excuse he needs to do what he really wants: nationalize the banks and turn them into credit unions. What a hope fiend!"
Hopebreak. Like the heartbroken lover, the hopebroken Obama-ite is not mad but terribly sad. She projected messianic powers onto Obama and is now inconsolable in her disappointment. Sample sentence: "I really believed Obama would finally force us to confront the legacy of slavery in this country and start a serious national conversation about race. But now he never seems to mention race, and he's using twisted legal arguments to keep us from even confronting the crimes of the Bush years. Every time I hear him say 'move forward,' I'm hopebroken all over again."
Hopelash. Like a backlash, hopelash is a 180-degree reversal of everything Obama-related. Sufferers were once Obama's most passionate evangelists. Now they are his angriest critics. Sample sentence: "At least with Bush everyone knew he was an asshole. Now we've got the same wars, the same lawless prisons, the same Washington corruption, but everyone is cheering like Stepford wives. It's time for a full-on hopelash."
In trying to name these various hope-related ailments, I found myself wondering what the late Studs Terkel would have said about our collective hopeover. He surely would have urged us not to give in to despair. I reached for one of his last books, Hope Dies Last. I didn't have to read long. The book opens with the words: "Hope has never trickled down. It has always sprung up."
And that pretty much says it all. Hope was a fine slogan when rooting for a long-shot presidential candidate. But as a posture toward the president of the most powerful nation on earth, it is dangerously deferential. The task as we move forward (as Obama likes to say) is not to abandon hope but to find more appropriate homes for it -- in the factories, neighborhoods and schools where tactics like sit-ins, squats and occupations are seeing a resurgence.
Political scientist Sam Gindin wrote recently that the labor movement can do more than protect the status quo. It can demand, for instance, that shuttered auto plants be converted into green-future factories, capable of producing mass-transit vehicles and technology for a renewable energy system. "Being realistic means taking hope out of speeches," he wrote, "and putting it in the hands of workers."
Which brings me to the final entry in the lexicon.
Hoperoots. Sample sentence: "It's time to stop waiting for hope to be handed down, and start pushing it up, from the hoperoots."

What's Obama smiling about?
The Obama presidency is becoming a reverse fairy tale: The prince is turning into a frog.
Elected as an anti-war candidate, he has dispatched 21,000 more troops to Afghanistan, stepped up CIA drone killings in Pakistan, and given the order for the world's most sophisticated navy to blow away three pirates in a skiff. Like his predecessor, the current Chider-in-Chief has lectured European nations on their failure to supply more troops to the mission. Don't they know NATO is just another American division?
As for Iraq, the promise to end the war is turning into a Clintonian exercise in twisted diction. It all depends on what "withdrawal" means. The dates for leaving are as blurred as a bad forgery. It doesn't matter. The president can hardly say he's pulling out when as many as 50,000 U.S. combat troops are staying behind to guard the gas station.
What about integrity in government? Judging by his gutter-ball series of appointments and attempted appointments, I am beginning to think that either his vetting process was actually looking for crooks or the president is moving in the wrong circles.

_________________________
Obama put a tax-cheat in the U.S. Treasury, tried to put an even bigger tax-cheat in Health, and only reluctantly dropped an accused influence peddler as commerce secretary. He can't even get a Kennedy into the Vatican as America's ambassador. Didn't he know the Pope doesn't approve of abortion? Didn't any of the Chicago millionaires around the president know that Caroline Kennedy does?
Remember all that change coming? George Bush spied on Americans illegally and then said it was OK because the terrorist surveillance program was all about national security. Candidate Obama and his running mate were shocked and appalled.
But in the first court test of those illegal wiretaps, Jewel vs. National Security Agency, the Obama justice department moved that the case of an American citizen be dismissed because "state secrets" might be revealed.
Wasn't that the whole point! Dirty little secrets about crimes committed by government and the telecom companies were supposed to be revealed. Otherwise, why was Obama shocked and appalled when Bush broke the law in the first place?
Obama was once all in favour of truth in government. When the Bush administration recalled the U.S. ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, for using the word "genocide" to describe what happened back in 1915, then Sen. Obama noted the "cowardice" of the state department. He added that "America deserves a leader who speaks truthfully about the Armenian genocide and responds forcefully to all genocides. I intend to be that leader."
But in Turkey, President Obama became a sly diplomat, refusing to use the word "genocide." "If they (the Turkish and Armenian people) can move forward and deal with a difficult and tragic history, then I think the entire world should encourage that." Turkey's help in Iraq and the guarantee of safe transit of oil across the Caucasus are apparently still needed.
The list goes on -- denouncing torture but no torture trials, not putting war costs in his nation-killing budget, mute on inevitable tax increases ...
And then there is the economy. Appalled as a candidate at the profligacy of the Bush years, the president has made his predecessor look like a piker. He has misappropriated money from the overwhelming majority of responsible citizens of the United States to fork it over to the most rapacious practitioners of organized theft the world has ever seen.
Makes you wonder what the guy on the big lily pad is really smiling about.

Tortured Logic: Obama Writes Off Old Crimes While Promoting New Outrages
Chris Floyd
....If Obama truly believes that prosecuting unknown CIA operatives would constitute some kind of disturbing disunity that the country could not bear in the present situation, then how likely is he to pursue the even more "disturbing" prospect of investigating and indicting a former president and his top officials?
And now focus closely on this astonishing phrase:
...we must resist the forces that divide us, and instead come together on behalf of our common future.
It is clear in the context of his statement that "the forces that would divide us" refers to those who are calling for the instigators and perpetrators to be prosecuted. They are the ones insisting on the disturbing, disunifying course of "laying blame for the past." But what, in the name of God, are America's "core values," if they do not include prosecuting people who order and commit the high crime of torture?
And cannot every criminal on the face of the earth now claim the Obama defense:
"Surely, your honor, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past. So let's forget the fact that I (raped/murdered/robbed/tortured), and move forward, shall we?"
For the Obama defense is nothing other than the Nuremberg defense:
"I was only following orders. I was given assurance by the highest authority that my actions were legal in all respects."
Is this what we have come to?
Is that what now constitutes bold, progressive action?
Is this, really, part of our "core values," an essential embedded component of our "national greatness?"
The more one considers Obama's remarks, the more offensive they become, and the more flagrantly they insult the intelligence. For the very memos that he has released give the lie to his own statement. Obama says it would be wrong to prosecute CIA underlings for carrying out actions that they were told were legal. Leaving aside the fact that apparently none of these great, courageous, self-sacrificing, vigilant defenders of our "core values" (as Obama lauds them) considered these tortures to be inherently immoral, but simply wanted to cover their ass legally before they wall-slammed the hell out of somebody or poured water down their throats until they began to choke and drown -- the fact is, they were told quite specifically by Bush's White House shysters that there was no guarantee that their actions would be considered legal by a court.
Glenn Greenwald points out the "smoking gun" memo that destroys Obama's entire defense -- for it is a defense -- of the CIA tortures: A signed statement by Steven Bradbury, one of the key paper-pushers in the torture regimen.
Bradbury told the front-line torturers:
Given the paucity of relevant precedent and the subjective nature of the inquiry, however, we cannot predict with confidence that a court would agree with this conclusion [i.e., the green light for heinous tortures].
To be sure, Bradbury was politically astute enough to recognize that the essential unity of America's power-structure elite means that it is almost impossible for anyone who would genuinely and actively pursue imperial crimes to ever reach the top, for he added:
...the question [of prosecution for the torture techniques] is unlikely to be subject to judicial inquiry.
And just as Bradbury foresaw, Obama has slammed the door shut on such judicial inquiries.
In the overblown, self-regarding prose that has become his trademark, Obama lauds himself and his administration for their fealty to the "rule of law" in releasing the memos. But of course, the "rule of law" also dictates that those who have planned, ordered and committed torture be prosecuted.
The law has no special dispensation for crimes that might be "too disturbing" to prosecute. And so his ringing conclusion -- "we have taken steps to ensure that the actions described within them never take place again" -- rings completely hollow. How will failing to prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes deter any future perpetrator in high office? The latter will know that their crimes will be "too disturbing" to prosecute -- in much that same way that the biggest fraudsters on Wall Street today are "too big to fail," and must be allowed to escape the consequences of their actions.
In the end, of course, it doesn't matter. This story will be buried in a day, or less, just as all the other many, many stories about the American torture program have been buried, year after year after year. And even this story -- as morally repulsive as it is -- deals only with the tip of the iceberg of America's global gulag. It refers only the CIA's treatment of a very limited number of high-profile prisoners. Yet tens of thousands of people have passed through the belly of the gulag beast, where many have been tortured, held captive for years, even murdered. And not only is this still going on, but the Obama Administration is moving strenuously in court to drive these captives even deeper into limbo, asserting that no one who is plunged into the netherworld of America's little Gitmos in Afghanistan has the slightest right to any tincture of legal redress -- even they had been kidnapped from the streets of some foreign city and "renditioned" to Afghanistan.
The old crimes are being written off; the new crimes keep going on.

NO HOPE...from pussies...who have the law, the facts, the means, and the legal I.Q....to...use my info as a weapon to "push back" THE SECRET CHENEY LACED POWER CONTROL ILLUMINATI, FALSE FLAG, TREASONOUS SWINE.
HopeOver, HopeLash, HopeBreak: A Lexicon of Disappointment
All is not well in Obamafanland. It's not clear exactly what accounts for the change of mood. Maybe it was the rancid smell emanating from Treasury's latest bank bailout. Or the news that the president's chief economic adviser, Larry Summers, earned millions from the very Wall Street banks and hedge funds he is protecting from reregulation now. Or perhaps it began earlier, with Obama's silence during Israel's Gaza attack.
Whatever the last straw, a growing number of Obama enthusiasts are starting to entertain the possibility that their man is not, in fact, going to save the world if we all just hope really hard.
This is a good thing. If the superfan culture that brought Obama to power is going to transform itself into an independent political movement, one fierce enough to produce programs capable of meeting the current crises, we are all going to have to stop hoping and start demanding.
The first stage, however, is to understand fully the awkward in-between space in which many US progressive movements find themselves. To do that, we need a new language, one specific to the Obama moment. Here is a start.
Hopeover. Like a hangover, a hopeover comes from having overindulged in something that felt good at the time but wasn't really all that healthy, leading to feelings of remorse, even shame. It's the political equivalent of the crash after a sugar high. Sample sentence: "When I listened to Obama's economic speech my heart soared. But then, when I tried to tell a friend about his plans for the millions of layoffs and foreclosures, I found myself saying nothing at all. I've got a serious hopeover."
Hoper coaster. Like a roller coaster, the hoper coaster describes the intense emotional peaks and valleys of the Obama era, the veering between joy at having a president who supports safe-sex education and despondency that single-payer healthcare is off the table at the very moment when it could actually become a reality. Sample sentence: "I was so psyched when Obama said he is closing Guantánamo. But now they are fighting like mad to make sure the prisoners in Bagram have no legal rights at all. Stop this hoper coaster -- I want to get off!"
Hopesick. Like the homesick, hopesick individuals are intensely nostalgic. They miss the rush of optimism from the campaign trail and are forever trying to recapture that warm, hopey feeling--usually by exaggerating the significance of relatively minor acts of Obama decency. Sample sentences: "I was feeling really hopesick about the escalation in Afghanistan, but then I watched a YouTube video of Michelle in her organic garden and it felt like inauguration day all over again. A few hours later, when I heard that the Obama administration was boycotting a major UN racism conference, the hopesickness came back hard. So I watched slideshows of Michelle wearing clothes made by ethnically diverse independent fashion designers, and that sort of helped."
Hope fiend. With hope receding, the hope fiend, like the dope fiend, goes into serious withdrawal, willing to do anything to chase the buzz. (Closely related to hopesickness but more severe, usually affecting middle-aged males.) Sample sentence: "Joe told me he actually believes Obama deliberately brought in Summers so that he would blow the bailout, and then Obama would have the excuse he needs to do what he really wants: nationalize the banks and turn them into credit unions. What a hope fiend!"
Hopebreak. Like the heartbroken lover, the hopebroken Obama-ite is not mad but terribly sad. She projected messianic powers onto Obama and is now inconsolable in her disappointment. Sample sentence: "I really believed Obama would finally force us to confront the legacy of slavery in this country and start a serious national conversation about race. But now he never seems to mention race, and he's using twisted legal arguments to keep us from even confronting the crimes of the Bush years. Every time I hear him say 'move forward,' I'm hopebroken all over again."
Hopelash. Like a backlash, hopelash is a 180-degree reversal of everything Obama-related. Sufferers were once Obama's most passionate evangelists. Now they are his angriest critics. Sample sentence: "At least with Bush everyone knew he was an asshole. Now we've got the same wars, the same lawless prisons, the same Washington corruption, but everyone is cheering like Stepford wives. It's time for a full-on hopelash."
In trying to name these various hope-related ailments, I found myself wondering what the late Studs Terkel would have said about our collective hopeover. He surely would have urged us not to give in to despair. I reached for one of his last books, Hope Dies Last. I didn't have to read long. The book opens with the words: "Hope has never trickled down. It has always sprung up."
And that pretty much says it all. Hope was a fine slogan when rooting for a long-shot presidential candidate. But as a posture toward the president of the most powerful nation on earth, it is dangerously deferential. The task as we move forward (as Obama likes to say) is not to abandon hope but to find more appropriate homes for it -- in the factories, neighborhoods and schools where tactics like sit-ins, squats and occupations are seeing a resurgence.
Political scientist Sam Gindin wrote recently that the labor movement can do more than protect the status quo. It can demand, for instance, that shuttered auto plants be converted into green-future factories, capable of producing mass-transit vehicles and technology for a renewable energy system. "Being realistic means taking hope out of speeches," he wrote, "and putting it in the hands of workers."
Which brings me to the final entry in the lexicon.
Hoperoots. Sample sentence: "It's time to stop waiting for hope to be handed down, and start pushing it up, from the hoperoots."

What's Obama smiling about?
The Obama presidency is becoming a reverse fairy tale: The prince is turning into a frog.
Elected as an anti-war candidate, he has dispatched 21,000 more troops to Afghanistan, stepped up CIA drone killings in Pakistan, and given the order for the world's most sophisticated navy to blow away three pirates in a skiff. Like his predecessor, the current Chider-in-Chief has lectured European nations on their failure to supply more troops to the mission. Don't they know NATO is just another American division?
As for Iraq, the promise to end the war is turning into a Clintonian exercise in twisted diction. It all depends on what "withdrawal" means. The dates for leaving are as blurred as a bad forgery. It doesn't matter. The president can hardly say he's pulling out when as many as 50,000 U.S. combat troops are staying behind to guard the gas station.
What about integrity in government? Judging by his gutter-ball series of appointments and attempted appointments, I am beginning to think that either his vetting process was actually looking for crooks or the president is moving in the wrong circles.

_________________________
Obama put a tax-cheat in the U.S. Treasury, tried to put an even bigger tax-cheat in Health, and only reluctantly dropped an accused influence peddler as commerce secretary. He can't even get a Kennedy into the Vatican as America's ambassador. Didn't he know the Pope doesn't approve of abortion? Didn't any of the Chicago millionaires around the president know that Caroline Kennedy does?
Remember all that change coming? George Bush spied on Americans illegally and then said it was OK because the terrorist surveillance program was all about national security. Candidate Obama and his running mate were shocked and appalled.
But in the first court test of those illegal wiretaps, Jewel vs. National Security Agency, the Obama justice department moved that the case of an American citizen be dismissed because "state secrets" might be revealed.
Wasn't that the whole point! Dirty little secrets about crimes committed by government and the telecom companies were supposed to be revealed. Otherwise, why was Obama shocked and appalled when Bush broke the law in the first place?
Obama was once all in favour of truth in government. When the Bush administration recalled the U.S. ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, for using the word "genocide" to describe what happened back in 1915, then Sen. Obama noted the "cowardice" of the state department. He added that "America deserves a leader who speaks truthfully about the Armenian genocide and responds forcefully to all genocides. I intend to be that leader."
But in Turkey, President Obama became a sly diplomat, refusing to use the word "genocide." "If they (the Turkish and Armenian people) can move forward and deal with a difficult and tragic history, then I think the entire world should encourage that." Turkey's help in Iraq and the guarantee of safe transit of oil across the Caucasus are apparently still needed.
The list goes on -- denouncing torture but no torture trials, not putting war costs in his nation-killing budget, mute on inevitable tax increases ...
And then there is the economy. Appalled as a candidate at the profligacy of the Bush years, the president has made his predecessor look like a piker. He has misappropriated money from the overwhelming majority of responsible citizens of the United States to fork it over to the most rapacious practitioners of organized theft the world has ever seen.

Obama consulted widely on memos
By MIKE ALLEN | 4/16/09 6:30 PM EDT
White House senior adviser David Axelrod says President Barack Obama spent about a month pondering whether to release Bush-era memos about CIA interrogation techniques, and considered it “a weighty decision.”
“He thought very long and hard about it, consulted widely, because there were two principles at stake,” Axelrod said . “One is … the sanctity of covert operations … and keeping faith with the people who do them, and the impact on national security, on the one hand. And the other was the law and his belief in transparency.”

____________________
The president consulted officials from the Justice Department, the CIA, the director of National Intelligence and the Homeland Security Department, according to his adviser.
“It was a weighty decision,” Axelrod said. “As with so many issues, there are competing points of view that flow from very genuine interests and concerns that are to be respected. And then the president has to synthesize all of it and make a decision that’s in the broad national interest. He’s been thinking about this for four weeks, really.”
A former top official in the administration of President George W. Bush called the publication of the memos “unbelievable.”
“It's damaging because these are techniques that work, and by Obama's action today, we are telling the terrorists what they are,” the official said. “We have laid it all out for our enemies. This is totally unnecessary. … Publicizing the techniques does grave damage to our national security by ensuring they can never be used again — even in a ticking-time- bomb scenario where thousands or even millions of American lives are at stake."

“I don't believe Obama would intentionally endanger the nation, so it must be that he thinks either 1. the previous administration, including the CIA professionals who have defended this program, is lying about its importance and effectiveness, or 2. he believes we are no longer really at war and no longer face the kind of grave threat to our national security this program has protected against.”
Obama did not act on an arbitrary timeline. There was a deadline in a court case with the ACLU on Thursday. It had been extended, but the ACLU was not going to agree to another.
The memos can be read here, here, here and here.

I visited KABIESEMAN IN YANKTON, before he got whacked.
I was UNDER DOUBLE SECRET FBI--NSA TSP surveillance....who fed info to SF FBI, who fed info to DOD CIFA UNIT using BLACKWATER INC. CONTRACTORS?
My section 1983 lawsuit (NEUTRALIZED BY ATTORNEY MURDERS, MAIMINGS)included the following facts:
----ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE ARREST WARRANT FOR MIAMI FBI AGENT TERRY NELSON'S BIG SKY MONTANA DRUG DISTRIBUTION CONSPIRACY that was facilitated by GOP PUNK MARC RACICOT whose emails were subpoenaed by Waxman...drug money laundery into GOP CAMPAIGNS...(MR OBAMA: I just gave you the weapon needed to back off the secret team who has extorted you in the past);
----SAN ANTONIO FBI COINTELPRO CONSPIRACY TARGETING SINGER WILLY NELSON because Nelson supported The Farm Aid activism that helped family farmers...FBI VIOLATED NELSON'S CIVIL RIGHTS WHEN CONSPIRING TO COERCE NELSON'S FINANCIAL EXPERTS TO GET NELSON TO SIGN OFF ON BOGUS TAX SHELTERS, latter used to bankrupt Nelson, (INFO CAME FROM AUSTIN FBI INFORMANT STEVEN GOLDFEIN, nephew of Nelson's tax attorney Goldfein from New York);
----AUSTIN FBI AND AUSTIN US ATTY ANTHONY "uncle tom" BROWN's RICO CRIMES involving the MEXICAN MAFIA PROTECTION by AUSTIN PD, AUSTIN FBI, AUSTIN US ATTORNEYS...See, MEXICAN MAFIA DEFENSE COUNSEL AFFADAVIT OF THOMAS S. BEAN...online at AUSTIN IMC....info from former Austin junkie GEORGE REYES at "tragicstarlet@hotmail.com"...former member of Austin band "The 7% Solution"....
----CHRISTINA MOORE MURDER AFFADAVIT of THOMAS S. BEAN...leads to NSA 902ND...NSA TSP surveillance...CALEA SIGINT...TITLE III FELONIES....etc....murder of ENRON WITNESS BY CHENEY who shot Whittington (Austin lawyer...the "cutout" on SIGINT used to facilitate the murder);
A whole lot more...too bad HOLDER is hiding under a desk eating a block of cheese with the pussified punk Democratic clowns who pretend to BE DOING OVER SIGHT, BUT...UH...HMMM....LOOKS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO POLYGRAPH ME?

The president consulted officials from the Justice Department, the CIA, the director of National Intelligence and the Homeland Security Department, according to his adviser.
“It was a weighty decision,” Axelrod said. “As with so many issues, there are competing points of view that flow from very genuine interests and concerns that are to be respected. And then the president has to synthesize all of it and make a decision that’s in the broad national interest. He’s been thinking about this for four weeks, really.”
A former top official in the administration of President George W. Bush called the publication of the memos “unbelievable.”
“It's damaging because these are techniques that work, and by Obama's action today, we are telling the terrorists what they are,” the official said. “We have laid it all out for our enemies. This is totally unnecessary. … Publicizing the techniques does grave damage to our national security by ensuring they can never be used again — even in a ticking-time- bomb scenario where thousands or even millions of American lives are at stake."

TOMMY:
None of these torture techniques are necessary...since...FBI--CIA--DOD know how to do a COUNTERINTELIGENCE SUBLIMINAL DEBREIFING that does not involve humiliation, pain, harassment, threats, etc.
MIND CONTROL run on me...works rather well.
No evidence....except the chip in my head....and no WAR CRIMES ISSUES?

“I don't believe Obama would intentionally endanger the nation, so it must be that he thinks either 1. the previous administration, including the CIA professionals who have defended this program, is lying about its importance and effectiveness, or 2. he believes we are no longer really at war and no longer face the kind of grave threat to our national security this program has protected against.”
Obama did not act on an arbitrary timeline. There was a deadline in a court case with the ACLU on Thursday. It had been extended, but the ACLU was not going to agree to another.
The memos can be read here, here, here and here.

BEFORE the pussies, liars, and drug dealing, false flag terrorists at CIA--DOD--FBI cry like little punk babies whose DEMONIC M.O. has been righteously taken away....
...lets focus on TORTURE OF US CITIZENS LIKE RICH GORDON, DR MARK GORDON, CHRISTINA MOORE, LEROY ROGERS, MARK DEFENBAUGH (YPD SGT), JOHN KABIESEMAN, JON VAN PATTEN, BOB NELSON....etc.
Lets talk about TORTURE OF BEAN, with mind control chipping...AFTER BEAN SIGNED A US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT. Tampering with a Witness...is a fed crime...MR HOLDER?
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ILLEGAL FELONIOUS USE OF DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS TO CAUSE ALL THE BRAIN STROKES, TUMORS, AND HEART ATTACKS.
SD US SEN TIM JOHNSON...got my info...BRAIN STROKED by DOD?...CIA under Goss?...
WHITE HOUSE "quid pro quo" negotiated by MEIRS and BOLTEN (WH attorneys) for SD AG LARRY LONG (opened bogus investigation OF SD US ATTY MICHELLE TAPKEN'S SON, when SD AG INVESTIGATED DAN NELSON AUTO LOAN BUSINESS to get leverage on Tapken's son?...resulting in MICHELLE TAPKEN'S SD FED GRAND JURY shutting down?
No indictment from Tapken's grand jury?
Where are the transcripts of that testimony...Mr Holder?
SD US SENATOR TIM JOHNSON was supposed to die of a brain tumor (like Rich Gordon).
He survived....barely, unlike Daschle's ex chief of staff, Rich Gordon (murdered with DEW by CIA?...DOD?...FBI?).
If SENATOR JOHNSON would have died...SD ATTY GEN LARRY LONG was gonna be named US SENATOR FROM SOUTH DAKOTA after SD GOVERNOR ROUNDS named him.
THAT IS A SCANDAL THAT OBAMA--HOLDER--MUELLER are covering up.

Obama’s Immunity For CIA Agents Still Leaves Prosecutions Of Senior Bushies On The Table
Yesterday, as he released four Bush-era legal memos authorizing the torture of terrorist suspects, President Obama made it clear he would not support any prosecutions of low-level interrogators who actually carried out Bush’s policies. “[I]t is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution.”
Obama also added, “This is a time for reflection, not retribution,” and said “nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past.” Some progressive commentators were outraged; Keith Olbermann pleaded, “Prosecute, Mr. President.” CBS’s Andrew Cohen interpreted this to mean Obama would not support any prosecutions for torture:
One by one, the hammer blows fell upon civil libertarians and millions of other Americans who believe that the people who legally sanctioned and then implemented torturous “enhanced interrogation tactics” should have had to defend their conduct in our courts of law. One by one, those enthusiastic supporters of the Obama administration’s legal values and policies realized that they had just lost a battle (been wiped out, in fact) that they had every reason to believe they would win. There will be no torture trials. Period.
However, Obama’s statement was carefully worded to include only “those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice” — not the Bush officials who actually gave out that advice.

GOOD FAITH DOCTRINE for TORTURE?
Hmmm...we need real facts, specific personal pronouns, and legal arguments in a Fed Court Room.
I'm talking specifics, not the punk bullshitstorm from MAINSTREAM MEDIA ILLUMINATI DISINFO NETWORKS.
I'm talking about...MINNEAPOLIS FBI COOPERATING WITNESS DR MARK GORDON getting hounded, defamed, slandered at his jobsite, extorted, tortured, monitored with GPS, pin hole spy cameras in home, breakins, stalked interstate, spit on by FBI INFORMANT PROVOCATEUR, coerced, polygraphed by FBI.
DR GORDON WAS not guilty of anything other than knowing me, and talking to me on the phone...Gordon repeated the dialogue from the JERKY BOYS COMEDY ALBUM and NSA 902ND picked it up illegally...gave it to SIOUX FALLS, SD FBI AGENTS DAVE "fuckface" HELLER (already secretly fired after my US DOJ OIG complaint became a secret unprosecuted FBI OPR COMPLAINT) AND DAN "shithead" REYNALDS (also fired, replaced by COUNTERINTELLIGENCE SPECIAL AGENT STEVEN PLUTA FROM MINNEAPOLIS FBI?).
SD US ATTY JAMES "Brady Violation" MCMAHON also got fired...quietly.
THOSE ARE FACTS PROVING FED VIOLATIONS THAT A SERIES OF US ATTORNEYS AT SD DOJ refused to police, investigate, or prosecute?
HOLDER and his staff, refuse to meet with me?
HOLDER has one version of the facts (from the police state who have alot to hide), and has made decisions against this country that effects our rights...and...NO MEDIA PUNK has confronted HOLDER'S DUBIOUS, SLY, SECRET, FORGETTABLE, LACK OF PERFORMANCE IN THIS AFFAIR.
I'm not satisfied with SECRET JUSTICE BY DOJ HQ, when my CIVIL LIBERTIES AND OTHERS GET VIOLATED. SEEN it before when DAVE NELSON--HOPE MATCHAN--DOUG BARTHEL--SFPD--SF FBI--SD US ATTY MARTY JACKLEY all colluded to OBSTRUCT JUSTICE when the SFPD AND A STATES ATTORNEY colluded to "deliver two teenage minor girls" to a predatory black pimp (pays off SFPD for protection...another RICO FELONY CRIME FOR SFPD) who delivered the girls to THE RUSHMORE HOTEL for sex with a wanted EL RUKN GANG BANGER NAMED CHARLES SMITH (arrested by the SHOCK DOCTRINE PROSECUTOR AND SFPD for sexually assaulting the teenage girls).
NO ARREST FROM FBI AGENT STEVEN PLUTA, AND NO FED INDICTMENT FROM SD DOJ US ATTY MARTY JACKLEY (selected by GOP STOOGE US SEN JOHN THUNE, appointed by PRES BUSH).
HOLDER has not fired JACKLEY? OR BROWN OR SUTTON at WEST. DIST. OF TEXAS US ATTY OFFICE?
AIN'T no state secrets for Title III (Wiretapping is not a national security issue or a secret to anybody?).
_________________________________
ACLU lead counsel Jameel Jaffer told Glenn Greenwald that Obama did not shut the door to all prosecutions:
I think it’s a mistake to read the grant of immunity too broadly. I don’t think that President Obama’s statement should be taken as a sign that there’s no chance that the architects of torture program will be prosecuted. And even with respect to the interrogators, it’s only the interrogators who relied “in good faith” on legal advice who are protected.
Indeed, Marc Ambinder reported yesterday that “senior administration officials have made it clear” to him that the immunity would not apply to those officials who “who did NOT act in good faith, or who did not act according to the guidelines spelled out by the OLC.” Obama himself seemed to indicate that some sort of investigations have already begun, telling CNN en Espanol, “I think that we are moving a process forward here in the United States to understand what happened.”

I CAN TELL YOU THE INVESTIGATION is dubious, because.......I'M THE KEY WITNESS WHO SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBPOENAED TO LAY A FOUNDATION LEADING TO OBVIOUS ANALYSIS OF THE SIOUX FALLS SD FBI'S JOINT FED LOCAL TERRORISM TASK FORCE'S CRIMES committed with NSA TSP surveillance.
BRADY VIOLATIONS by Dave Nelson and his staff (named in my SD STATE BAR ETHICS COMPLAINTS).
NO SPECIAL PROSECUTOR FROM OUTSIDE THE CORRUPT POLICE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA, to take my investigative leads....while STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS RUNS OUT?
WHAT IS HOLDER DOING...AND NOT DOING...when the guy "will not dispatch a trusty stooge deputy" to talk to me about the POLICE STATE PROBLEMS COVERED UP BY FBI HQ IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND AUSTIN TEXAS?
HOLDER has not talked about the recent DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON ATTACK ON ME, while I was asleep in my truck at VON'S SUPERMARKET IN BOULDER CITY, NEVADA. HOLDER has not investigated or prosecuted FBI INFORMANTS DIRECTED BY FBI AGENTS WHO WERE NOT ACTING IN GOOD FAITH, but were...ACTING IN BAD FAITH AS THEY STALKED A COOPERATING MATERIAL WITNESS NAMED THOMAS S. BEAN WHO TRIED TO STOP THE FBI FROM BLOWING UP THE MURRAY BUILDING IN OK CITY?
HOLDER has written the infamous "TRENTADUES AND TRENTADON'TS" memo as proof that he has already joined a CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT NUMEROUS FBI MURDERS OF THE OK CITY CHILDREN OF FED EMPLOYEES....when....TRENTADUE'S LAWSUIT IS NOW IN DISCOVERY STAGE TO GET NICHOLS UNDER OATH to tell us THE NAME OF THE FBI AGENT running MCVEIGH AND NICHOLS as the MK ULTRA FBI OPER. SLAMMER patsies "who lit up that anfo firecracker" that could not POSSIBLY HAVE DONE ANY OF THE DAMAGE TO THE FED BUILDING.
INFRAGUARD AND FBI HQ...are behind the surveillance team using DEW on me.... and...BOULDER CITY PD CHIEF deployed his patrol cops to provide cover and protection for this NEVADA CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT FELONY ASSAULT, as well as the FED CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT A FED CRIME OF VIOLENCE. Mr Holder, "...no good faith" for attempted murder using the WARRANTLESS GPS IN MY TRUCK so FBI CAN HARASS INTERSTATE...doncha know?
As I said on this blog...DEW ATTACKS are only pseudo legal under WAR COMMISSIONS ACT, and...PRESIDENT OBAMA is the only person who can designate THOMAS S. BEAN AS AN ENEMY NON COMBATANT ENGAGED IN HOSTILITIES AGAINST THE U.S.
More "bad faith Torture" by INFRAGUARD?...FBI HQ?...DOD under GATES?
So...THAT LEAVES OPEN A FED PROSECUTION FOR TORTURE, FED CRIME OF VIOLENCE, TAMPERING WITH A WITNESS, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, TITLE 18 USC SECTIONS 241, 242.
IT IS ALL IN HOLDER'S HANDS....and...he has not talked to me?
OBAMA--HOLDER--MAINSTREAM MEDIA FAGGOT ACT should be focusing on real facts, and real legal analysis based on real sworn testimony, like:
1----NSA TSP MERCS VIOLATING THE STATE AND FED LAWS, while being coached, aided, abetted, and criminally protected by scumbag punk slime known as THE SOUTH DAKOTA POLICE MAFIA CRIME FAMILY (SD AG LARRY "butt nutt" LONG, MARK BARNETT, DON SRSTKA, DAVE NELSON, HOPE MATCHAN, RANDY SAMPLE, JUDGE DOYLE SAGE, DOUG BARTEL, DAN REYNALDS, DAVE HELLER, JAMES MCMAHON, STEPHEN MULLINS, MARTY JACKLEY, etc, etc, etc.
2----FBI'S OPERATION SLAMMER mind control ran on me for 24 years...very difficult to prove or find witnesses on compartmentalized MKULTRA used to "create the terrorism problem" so cops can "create the no bid, front loaded, Gov gravy train of surveillance contract money" that is ALL KICKED BACK TO PROSECUTORS AND COPS AND FEDS who also...protected the whole thing;
3----FBI--YPD--SFPD--MINN CTY STATES ATTY harassment of an innocent medical doctor named DR MARK GORDON, who had pin hole spy cameras in his home, and that info was used by civilian contractors to tip off SFPD who made a bogus DUI arrest after manufacturing probable cause for the stop...BRADY VIOLATIONS BY DAVE NELSON'S STATES ATTORNEYS using THE CIVILIAN RULE EXCEPTION TO THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE and of course...THE BRADY VIOLATIONS AS A PRIME FACIE CASE FOR FED CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE while engaged in a POLITICIZED STALKING CAMPAIGN TARGETING DASCHLE'S EX CHIEF OF STAFF, RICHARD GORDON (brother of DR MARK GORDON);
4----TORTURE OF THOMAS S. BEAN by CIA?...DOD CIFA UNIT?...BLACKWATER INC?...with a directed energy weapon...that focuses microwave radiation on the target who is fried while living in his own home?????????????
5----FOUR MEMOS TO former SD US ATTORNEY MICHELLE TAPKEN, her grand jury, and THE CHENEY WHITE HOUSE CONSPIRACY WITH SD ATTY GENERALS LARRY LONG, MARK BARNETT, DON SRSTKA who OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE BY OPENING A BOGUS CRIM INVESTIGATION OF DAN NELSON AUTO LOAN BUSINESS (to get leverage on MICHELLE TAPKEN'S SON) AND OBSTRUCTION OF MY VOLUMINOUS COMPLAINTS NAMING DOCTORS, LAWYERS, PROSECUTORS, JUDGES, THOMAS C. BARNETT JR, and others not yet named in complaints (CITY ATTY ALLAN EIDE, SD SUPREME COURT JUDGE GILBERTSON, NANCY TURBACK, THE SD STATE BAR DISCIPLINARY BOARD, THE SOUTH DAKOTA JUDICIAL ACCOUNTABILITY BOARD, etc.).
LETS SEE GATES, GOSS, TENET, PANETTA, DUMSFIELD, CHENEY, ADDINGTON, YOO, explain "GOOD FAITH DOCTRINE" to cover up POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CONSPIRACIES TO COMMIT FED CRIMES OF VIOLENCE targeting two witnesses.
Those two witnesses are:
--THOMAS S. BEAN (chipped, mind controlled, fried with DEW after he wrote DASCHLE CAMPAIGN WIRETAPPING MEMO, US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT, TEN PAGE MEMO TO IOWA SEN CHARLES GRASSLEY, SD BD OF MED AND OSTEOPATHIC EXAMINERS COMPLAINT, SIX SD STATE BAR ETHICS COMPLAINTS).....and,
--DR MARK GORDON (fried with DEW, pin hole spy camera in home, while GORDON COOPERATED WITH MINNEAPOLIS FBI who had EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE resulting in BRADY VIOLATIONS BY DAVE NELSON, and his unindicted coconspirators to FED CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE...including the SFPD--FBI--CIA?--DOD CIFA UNIT--DAVE NELSON conspiracy to violate SIOUX FALLS CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE PETER GREGORY'S CIVIL LIBERTIES under color of law, and as a civilian vigilante NSA TSP MERC conspiracy to violate civil liberties.
All complaints were OBSTRUCTED BY A VARIETY OF POLICE STATE ACTORS INCLUDING THE DEAD EYE DICK CHENEY WHITE HOUSE (dirty with HAYDEN, WHITTINGTON, on the Christina Moore Murder in Round Rock, Texas).
CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE IS A FED CRIME...that no amount of "GOOD FAITH DOCTRINE" is gonna explain.
GOP NEOCON NAZI TRASH...are going down eventually.
STICK IT UP YOUR FAT ASS BILL "luffa boy" O'REILLY.
THIS IS OBAMA'S ONLY WEAPON to "push back" at the SECRET TEAM WHO EXTORTED HIM AND THEN PICKED HIS CABINET FOR HIM (The pre Inauguration visit in Hawaii).
Like I said, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HOLDER, OBAMA, LEAHY, CONYERS, WAXMAN, OR FEINSTEIN.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, no f------ faggot, jerk off, punk, rubber stamping, GOP pussy, stooge judge...is ever gonna stop me from testifying by alleging STATE SECRETS, NATIONAL SECURITY, etc.
Ain't no way...these pussies are getting away with "good faith doctrine" to murder A PREGNANT CHRISTIAN HOUSEWIFE NAMED CHRISTINA MOORE because she gave info to ROBERT MOORE, who broke the story ON CHENEY'S SECRETIVE ENERGY TASK FORCE (aka FERC helping the "pump and dump" ENRON scam, with CALIF ENERGY CRISIS being manufactured in a very tight effective CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD ENERGY USERS IN CALIFORNIA).
NO GOOD FAITH for CHENEY--DUMSFIELD murder of RICH GORDON.
NO GOOD FAITH FOR OTHER MURDERS AND TORTURE MAIMINGS OF MY ATTORNEY ASSOCIATES.
AIN'T NO WAY.
FOX NEWS CAN FAG AROUND ALL DAY WITH BLOWHARD LYING PUSSIES who do not mention real facts, made under oath.

SO FAR, THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PUSSIFIED FAGGOT ACT has...(like a lot of spineless punks in D.C. on both sides of the aisles at US SENATE AND US HOUSE)......remained silent, like the good "Banality of Evil" clown punks that they are, have been, and will likely continually be.

I SUGGEST THAT EITHER LEAHY, CONYERS, OR FEINSTEIN...put my name either on a subpoena, or "INVITE A COOPERATING WITNESS TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH" to lay the foundation that forces HOLDER'S HANDS.
I SUGGEST the PUSSIES, FAGS, COWARDS, AND SHAMELESS BOTTOM FEEDING CLOWN ACTS with White House press passes to OBAMA'S PRESS CONFERENCES......might want to elicit some answers to questions (based upon these facts mentioned at this blog)from both OBAMA AND HOLDER when they get the chance.
SO FAR, THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PUSSIFIED FAGGOT ACT has...(like a lot of spineless punks in D.C. on both sides of the aisles at US SENATE AND US HOUSE)......remained silent, like the good "Banality of Evil" clown punks that they are, have been, and will likely continually be.
It's in the hands of the pussies...and they have failed.

TORTURE MEMOS...TITLE 18 USC SECTIONS 241, 242, 1512, 1513
Recently the much ballyhooed TORTURE MEMOS were released.
Big deal.
Nothing new here.
Sleep Deprivation, nakedity, bouncing heads off of walls...it's what you would expect from a secret military operation that was operating on a "war time footing" (aka "No rule of law applies on a battlefield, the world is the battlefield, and therefore, WE HAVE GOD LIKE POWER TO DO ANYTHING TO ANYBODY FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME FOR ANY POLITICAL REASON).
WHAT IS IGNORED BY THE SENATE DEMS, HOUSE DEMS, AND DOJ HQ PUSSIES IN HOLDER'S BOGUS CLOWN ACT IS: the TORTURE OF COOPERATING WITNESSES WHO ACTUALLY SIGNED DOJ COMPLAINTS UNDER PENALTY OF PROSECUTION after they "tried to stop the FBI FROM BLOWING UP THE MURRAY BUILDING USING MCVEIGH AND NICHOLS" and the detonators manufactured at the electronic assembly plant staffed by ALLAN DOERING who worked as an electronic engineer when the schematic and request for bid offer was made.
NO INTEREST FROM DEMS ON FALSE FLAG BY FBI USING MK ULTRA PATSIES?
NO INTEREST FROM DEMS ON THE TRENTADUE DEPOSITION OF TERRY NICHOLS who has already named the FBI HANDLER who ran McVeigh and Nichols?
No INTEREST IN THE TRINITY OIL FRAUD AND MONEY LAUNDERING OF BARRY SEAL'S DRUG PROFITS FROM CLINTON'S ARKANSAS?
NO INTEREST IN THE TRINITY OIL FUNDING OF MCVEIGH AND NICHOLS, with RICHARD BEN VENISTE doing the legal work to incorporate Trinity Oil?
My thoughts on the latest NYTIMES article and TORTURE MEMOS include:
1) What was LICTBLAU and RISEN talking about in their latest scoop at NYTIMES?
A Congressional leader was wire taped in 2004-5? The source was A high ranking law enforcement source with prerogative to enforce Title III (The Fed Crim Wiretap Statute)?
That sounds alot like my DASCHLE CAMPAIGN MEMO that got me TORTURED BY WHO?
I THOUGHT ALL CITIZENS HAD A DUTY TO UPHOLD THE PROHIBITION ON MISPRISION OF A FELONY (the failure to report all FED FELONIES....DASCHLE WIRETAPPING WAS A TITLE III FELONY...no?)
THE TORTURE INVOLVED THE INVOLUNTARY SURGICAL INSTALLATION OF AN RFID MIND CONTROL CHIP placed in my nasopharyngial cavity near the ocular bone (above the right eye...where the first two sets of x rays showed a milled pice of metal with a definitive ninety degree angle).
Was Daschle Campaign in Sioux Falls, SD, wiretapped using the CALEA COMPUTERIZED WIRETAP INTERFACE installed at every main frame computer at all main terminals of all telecom providers?
Was my knowledge of this federal felony crime conspiracy the secret cause for DECLARING THOMAS S. BEAN AN "ENEMY NON COMBATANT ENGAGED IN HOSTILITIES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES?" (See, WAR COMMISSIONS ACT, and how ANY US CITIZEN CAN BE TORTURED ANYWAY FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME).
IS THE USE OF MICROWAVE RADIATION using a Directed Energy Weapon, part of the CIA TORTURE REGIME, that OBAMA and HOLDER have carefully and intentionally ignored?
MICROWAVE RADIATION AS A TORTURE TECHNIQUE is hidden behind STATE SECRETS?
MICROWAVE RADIATION was used to MURDER DASCHLE'S EX CHIEF OF STAFF, RICHARD GORDON with a brain tumor...no? THEN, CHENEY--GOSS--RUMSFIELD ordered the TORTURE MURDER OF RICH'S BROTHER, DR MARK GORDON, who was coerced into working for MINNEAPOLIS FBI as SIOUX FALLS FBI went after me while "investigating the MEXICAN MAFIA MURDERS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS" that I discussed over my NSA ILLEGALLY WIRETAPPED TELEPHONE?
FBI uses illegally obtained info to run TERRORISM INVESTIGATIONS that have nothing to do with terrorism?
HOW IS MARK GORDON (cooperating witness for MINNEAPOLIS FBI) a terrorist, and how is TORTURE WITH MICROWAVE RADIATION a legitimate legal technique when...THE INTERROGATION OF GORDON was done with a polygraph by FBI, who had already interrogated Gordon and found BRADY MATERIAL, that SF FBI AND SD US ATTORNEY JAMES MCMAHON did not turn over to MINNEHAHA CTY STATES ATTORNEY DAVE NELSON?
2) IF ANYBODY IN CONGRESS WANTS TO TALK ABOUT TORTURE OF US CITIZENS, especially when that TORTURE HAS NO REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO AN INTERROGATION SEEKING INFO TO PREVENT TERRORIST ATTACKS, then, uh...you would want to send me an email?
How come Democrats (Leahy, Conyers, Feinstein, Holder, Obama) have never once tried to communicate with me, and have never once used specific pronouns and facts from my complaints when they had MUELLER, HAYDEN, GONZO, and others in front of the US SEN JUD COMM, AND US HOUSE JUD COMM?
3) The interception of communications by NSA--FBI includes the COINTELPRO TRICK OF MISDIRECTING COMMUNICATIONS to prevent my association with lawyers, the media, and over sight committees. CLEARLY, MR HOLDER can distinguish the issues based on all the facts? Yet, HOLDER has shown no interest in talking to me? How does OBAMA AND HOLDER make policy decisions, while also remaining intentionally ignorant of ALL THE FACTS AND EVIDENCE FROM ALL THE PARTIES INCLUDING THE TORTURE VICTIMS DR MARK GORDON, AND THOMAS S. BEAN?!
This is why...based on HOLDER'S INTENTIONAL CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE, that I turned on OBAMA--HOLDER ALONG TIME AGO.
HOLDER is blowing smoke, while ignoring my complaints.
ERIC, you ain't gonna fool all the people all the time.
Eric, I assure you...that bullshit ain't gonna work with me.
4) I wonder if, "...drafting another complaint focusing on TORTURE, MIND CONTROL, FBI'S OPERATION SLAMMER, USE OF DEW, SLEEP DEPRIVATION, AUDIOGRAMS, CHILLING ASSOCIATION RIGHTS, NEUTRALIZING SIXTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS, SUBVERTING DUE PROCESS LIBERTY INTEREST IN MEDICAL COURSE OF CARE" are issues that OBAMA--HOLDER--LEAHY--CONYERS--FEINSTEIN want to focus on, or ignore at AMERICA'S PERIL?
5) Recently, I got tortured again in BOULDER CITY, NEVADA while sleeping in my truck (only way to survive is "keep moving and stay away from microwave radiation" from DOD DARPA WEAPON CALLED DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON (DEW).
INFRAGUARD (The FBI's new name for the old COINTLEPRO contract civilian vigalante system of tyranny that replaces the old designation NSA TERRORISTIC SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM) had been working surveillance on me with BOULDER CITY, NEVADA POLICE DEPARTMENT, and the usual secret hidden FBI AGENTS who always "hide their felonies" behind a snitch, or civilian front.
FOR THIS NEW TORTURE WITH DEW TO APPROACH LEGALITY, THE WAR COMMISSIONS ACT WOULD HAVE TO BE INVOKED AND....PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT, is the only person who can designate THOMAS S. BEAN as an "enemy non combatant engaged in hostilities against the United States".
So...uh....MR OBAMA, MR HOLDER, MR ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, III...."IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS ORDERED THE TORTURE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER OF THOMAS S. BEAN?"
That is the real legal issue, totally ignored by MR HOLDER, FBI HQ, AND BARACK OBAMA.
If there is not such a designation by Obama, then the TORTURE ON SATURDAY IN BOULDER CITY, NEVADA, was illegal, unconstitutional and in clear violation of TITLE 18 UNITED STATES CODE SECTIONS 241, 242, 1512, 1513, and the prohibition on INTERSTATE STALKING, as well as FELONY ASSAULT AND ATTEMPTED MURDER UNDER NEVADA LAWS.
6) I have stated in the past, "I would be glad to hear from the pussies at DOJ HQ to coordinate any sort of legitimate investigation into my latest ORWELL MEETS KAFKA TORTURE SESSION by whom?"
7) Again, the pussy, the liar, the extorted chump on a string (OBAMA--HOLDER) have shown their true colors, and will IGNORE ANOTHER OUTRAGEOUS CRIME SPREE protected by a top ranking ILLUMINATI CRIMINAL NAMED ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, III.
It is FBI HQ, with INFRAGUARD, who did the surveillance and used the ILLEGALLY PLACED GPS TRACKING DEVICE IN MY VEHICLE.
NO LEGITIMATE WARRANT EXISTS FOR THE 24 YEAR STALKING CAMPAIGN that uses GPS TRACKING DEVICE.
To get around the TRACKING DEVICE WARRANT REQUIREMENT, MUELLER HAD SPECIAL AGENT STEVEN PLUTA manipulate my father (who also acted as my physician?) to "mislead, and fraudulently trick me" into signing my title to my vehicle over to DR DAVID W. BEAN.
THE FBI LIE involved the coercive threat that I would be arrested for not having insurance (South Dakota Codified Law) unless I waived my RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND THE RIGHT TO OWNERSHIP AND THE RIGHT TO BE LEFT ALONE.
The FBI then, backdated the title transfer made in 2006, to clumsily PAVE THE WAY FOR THE FUTURE PERJURY, SUBORNATION OF PERJURY, AND CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE that the FBI UNDER BOB MUELLER IS FAMOUS FOR COMMITTING ON A DAILY "Win at All Costs" basis.
Recently, we found out that MUELLER AND HIS VAUNTED FBI CONSPIRED TO SUBORN THE PERJURY OF DR IVINS SON, who was offered 2.3 million dollars to cooperate with the bogus frame up slander of a murdered DR IVINS (the improbable patsy used by Mueller to cover up MOSSAD'S DR ZACK'S ANTHRAX LETTERS TREASONOUS CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES).

Scarborough: Torture Opponents Want "Washington DC And Los Angeles To Be Obliterated By A Nuclear Blitz"
By Zachary Roth - April 17, 2009, 12:36PM
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough went on quite a rant this morning, attacking President Obama's decision to release the torture memos.
He ended up by calling for an honest (kind of) debate: "If you'd like Washington DC and Los Angeles to be obliterated by a nuclear blitz [rather than permitting the use of waterboarding], I respect your opinion."
________________
tommy:
More confusion and intentional dis info from a lowlife punk named JOE SCARBOROUGH who smugly and presumptively announces his show as "...SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY" (almost like he is assuming the mantle of NARCISSISTIC DELUSIONAL GRANDIOSITY when THE UNITED STATES AND PUBLIC AUDIENCES are now part of this faggot's punk fantasy kingdom?).
JOE has some explaining to do about his dead intern found dead in his Florida office.
Shortly after this murder, (conspicuously tied to other dead D.C. interns?) BIG, BAD, SMUG, LOWLIFE, GOP LYING PUNK JOE SCARBOROUGH RESIGNED FROM CONGRESS?
HERES SOME REAL FACTS THAT THE PUNK MAINSTREAM MEDIA FAGGOTS DON'T TALK ABOUT ON THE BILL "luffa boy jack off sex criminal" O'REILLY no spin zone:
1) TORTURE SATURDAY ON ME IN BOULDER CITY, NEVEDA, had nothing to do with preventing any terroristic attack with suitcase nukes. In fact, THOMAS S. BEAN TRIED TO STOP THE FBI FROM USING SD DETENATORS MANUFACTURED IN CANISTOTA, SD, AT AN ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY PLANT WHERE ALLAN DOERING WORKED AS AN ELECRONIC ENGINEER WHO SAW THE SCHEMATIC AND REQUEST FOR BID OFFER.
THOSE DETENATORS WERE LATER STOLEN AT A ROCK QUARRY IN KANSAS.
MCVEIGH AND NICHOLS' FBI HANDLER made sure the detonators were there to be stolen, pursuant to the plan. NO ARREST BY SD POLICE MAFIA CRIME FAMILY FOR THE CONSPIRACY TO POSSESS, MANUFACTURE, AND DISTRIBUTE?
2) THE TORTURE AND MURDER OF SD US SENATOR TOM DASCHLE'S EX CHIEF OF STAFF, RICHARD GORDON....had nothing to do with preventing an act of violence.
The MURDER BY CHENEY and others had an obvious motive: "Preventing a DASCHLE SPONSORED INVESTIGATION INTO THE CANADIAN WARRANT FOR MIAMI FBI AGENT TERRY NELSON'S MONTANA DRUG PIPELINE protected by GOP BUSH CRIME FAMILY BUTT BUDDY, GOVERNOR MARC RACICOT (See, Waxman's subpoenae of RACICOT'S GOP TREASURY emails).
3) THE TORTURE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER OF RICH GORDON'S BROTHER, DR MARK GORDON (known associate of mine) was done while GORDON WORKED FOR MINNEAPOLIS FBI who did not bother to "protect their own investigation of me" and "FBI DID NOT PROTECT THEIR OWN COOPERATING WITNESS"?????????????
MUELLER said he was just, "...following our pussified corrupt politicized protocol..." to cover it all up, LIKE LEAHY--CONYERS--OBAMA--HOLDER are doing today.
4) OTHER TORTURES AND MURDERS OF MY KNOWN ASSOCIATES OCCURRED.
LAWYERS ENDED UP DEAD.
LAWYERS ENDED UP MAIMED WITH STROKES.
A SD US SENATOR NAMED TIM JOHNSON and his Sioux Falls, SD, staff...got my info. JOHNSON GOT FRIED WITH TORTURUOUS AMOUNTS OF MICROWAVE RADIATION FROM A CIA DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON while PORTER GOSS was running CIA.
WELLSTONE GOT WHACKED OUT WITH EMP PULSE CANNON, and MINNEAPOLIS FBI (same guys looked away from MURDER OF RICH GORDON, AND ATTEMPTED MURDER OF THEIR OWN WITNESS, DR MARK GORDON) also....illegally stole the DULUTH, MN, AIRPORT LOGS WITHOUT A WARRANT?.... showing FBI time of arrival in Duluth...proving PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE WELLSTONE MURDER that FBI announced was not an act of TERRORISM while FBI does not have an investigative jurisdiction over plane crashes unless NTSB gives them a criminal referral?.
5) A Syrian CIA agent named ROLAND CARNEBY was gunned down by HOUSTON PD. HE RAN, because he had info proving the MOSSAD'S MURDER OF PALESTINIAN PEACE ACTIVIST, HAMID--FOUND MURDERED IN LADYBIRD LAKE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
HAMID'S hands were tied behind his back....APD ruled it a suicide.
Later, CARNEBY GETS WHACKED, and...FBI COVERS IT UP REFUSING TO ACCESS CALEA INTERFACE SHOWING TITLE III WIRETAPPING.
CHENEY dispatches THE SECRET SERVICE to access the evidence from CARNEBY'S electronics?
WHAT THE FUCK?
How come SECRET SERVICE FROM CHENEY'S DETAIL, is running a post PATRIOT ACT MURDER INVESTIGATION TO STEAL THE EVIDENCE OF CHENEY'S FALSE FLAG SUITCASE NUKE IN THE MIDDLE EAST that Carneby stopped using HAMID?
ANYBODY stopping the GOP RIGHT WING ILLUMINATI FALSE FLAG TERRORISM...gets tortured, murdered, shot, harassed, chipped, tortured....etc.
JOE, shutup and stop entering terroritory you do not belong in (NATIONAL SECURITY, FALSE FLAG BY GOP POLICE STATE)....and...go ask OK CITY BATF INFORMANT CAROL HOWE about her ACCESS TO MCVEIGH AT ELOHIM CITY...where she got info and gave info to OK CITY BATF to stop MCVEIGH--NICHOLS--FBI'S murder of the children at the Daycare Center at The Murray Building.
JOE...go ask DENVER US MARSHALLS INFORMANT CARY GAGEN, about his report to DENVER DOJ concerning the IRAQIS, THE DETENATORS, THE C4, AND THE MURRAY BUILDING SCHEMATIC.....what happened the most important witness in the history of uncovering FALSE FLAG TREASON BY THE GOP SECRET TEAM?
JOE SCARBOROUGH: "...go grow a 33 inch DICK CHENEY, and GO BUSH YOURSELF...".
Big deal.
Nothing new here.
Sleep Deprivation, nakedity, bouncing heads off of walls...it's what you would expect from a secret military operation that was operating on a "war time footing" (aka "No rule of law applies on a battlefield, the world is the battlefield, and therefore, WE HAVE GOD LIKE POWER TO DO ANYTHING TO ANYBODY FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME FOR ANY POLITICAL REASON).

More TORTURE OF THOMAS S. BEAN (signed US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT) BY BOB MUELLER AND FBI HQ using INFRAGUARD in Boulder City, Neveda
1) On SATURDAY, APRIL 11TH, 2009, (at VONS SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT IN BOULDER CITY, NEVADA, at 9:00 pm) I was once again TORTURED AND FRIED WITH A DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON POINTED AT MY TRUCK WHERE I WAS ASLEEP IN THE BACK.
2)The only vehicle with a line of sight was a small white RV with smoked glass windows on the side...and...the blacked out windows made a perfect location to hide the weapon and also direct microwave radiation at the back of the truck, where my head was resting. Gee...I wonder if MUELLER'S GOON SQUAD CIVILIAN VIGALANTEES, KNOWN AS "INFRAGUARD" is the new version of NSA TSP MERCS?
GEE, I wonder if BOULDER CITY, NEVADA PD CHIEF knows what the vigilante surveillance (INFRAGUARD) is doing...while BOULDER CITY, NEVADA PD joins the conspiracy and earns civil liability for SECTION 1983 torts?
3) THE PAIN IS ALWAYS SPECIFIC TO THE LINE OF SIGHT SO THAT...the body parts closest to the line of fire, will experience more pain, and distress.
I have been fried with DEW WEAPONS BEFORE. I got fried in my own home, after FBI'S JOINT FED LOCAL TERRORISM TASK FORCE found info from the MAGIC LANTERN keystroke logger on my computer.
THAT INFO INCLUDED MY UNFINISHED DRAFT OF MY CIVIL SUIT, MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN FED DIST COURT IN SIOUX FALLS, SD, and...MOTION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS ordering DOJ HQ to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate CHENEY--HAYDEN--GOSS--DUMSFIELD--MUELLER'S PATRIOT ACT MURDERS OF MY KNOWN ASSOCIATES.
THE PAIN IS ALWAYS SPECIFIC TO THE LINE OF SIGHT SO THAT...the body parts closest to the line of fire, will experience more pain, and distress.
4) A RED HAIRED LADY working for Bob Mueller's FBI HQ (provocateurs hidden behind corporate surveillance fronts so big, bad, murdering, drug dealer BOB MUELLER CAN HIDE HIS PUNK ASS) WAS NERVOUSLY FIDGETING INSIDE THE RV when I approached to finish my investigation.
5) THIS IS HOW BOB MUELLER AND HIS INFRAGUARD NEUTRALIZE COOPERATING WITNESSES WHO SIGN US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINTS. THE WAR COMMISSIONS ACT THAT SENATOR FEINGOLD wants to overturn...MAKES TORTURING US CITIZENS...PSEUDO LEGAL until a Fed Court decides the constitutional issue. OF COURSE, THAT IMPLIES THAT A MIND CONTROLLED TORTURE VICTIM can actually talk to attorneys without the FBI CHILLING ALL SIXTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS when the surveillance "follows the target to law firms" to defame, slander, and seize all attorney--client confidential documents and computer CDs.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO MY EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COUNSEL.
FBI CHILLED AND STALKED AND ASSERTED STATE SECRETS TO STOP THE FILING OF A SECTION 1983 CIVIL SUIT AND MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.
SD US ATTORNEY MARTY JACKLEY stood down...not seeing any felony violation?
FBI DIRECTOR BOB MUELLER also...did not see a violation of Title 18 USC SECTIONS 241, 242, 1512, 1513, etc.
ERIC HOLDER also...does not see a criminal problem with SURVEILLANCE USED TO SLANDER AND CHILL SIXTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS???
THIS WAS ONE APPLICATION OF THE PATRIOT ACT SECTION GRANTING 100 FBI BADGES TO DOD--CIA COINTELPRO GOONS...who use the FBI badge to "neutralize the threat of exposure" by slandering and using illegally obtained info from FBI'S OPERATION SLAMMER MIND CONTROL PROGRAMS. Same program used on ELIOT SPITZER, MIQUEL RODRIGUEZ (US Attorney in SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA), Sioux Falls, SD, Circuit Court Judge PETER GREGORY (who refused to JOIN MUELLER--FBI--DAVE NELSON--STEVEN PLUTA'S CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE when FBI WANTED THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR TITLE III FELONIES FROM JUDGE GREGORY WHO REFUSED TO TURN OVER HIS JUDICIAL COPY OF DAVE NELSON--FBI--SFPD'S bogus, fraudulent, ex parte warrant application.
FBI WAS CAUGHT HIDING BRADY MATERIAL...like SENATOR STEVENS IN ALASKA...right Eric?
6) THIS IS WHAT HAPPENs when BARKY OBAMA is extorted by The Secret Team (Colonel Fletcher Proudy's word for the CORPORATE FASCIST POWER ELITE who have ensconced themselves in The Fed Gov at every key position to facilitate as much corruption, torture, murder, stalking, wiretapping, and extortion).
7) This recent DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON torture is ROBERT SWAN MUELLER'S RETALIATION FOR ALL MY EFFORTS TO EXPOSE FBI FELONY CRIMES including the following documents that should put Mueller in the fed pen:
A)----47 page US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT covering FBI's MIND CONTROL OPERATION SLAMMER aka SCHOOL SHOOTERS ON A SHELF PROGRAM as part of the SHOCK DOCTRINE in which the right wing secret Gestapo "creates the problems, terrorists, scapegoats, so that...the police state swindling punks in law enforcement can CREATE THE SOLUTION WITH A NO BID, FRONT LOADED SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT with kickbacks to all fed, state, and local law enforcement including prosecutors who "do a good job protecting the illegal felonious surveillance" while also...USING ILLEGALLY OBTAINED INFO...BRADY VIOLATIONS...OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE...PERJURY...SUBORNING PERJURY...MISPRISION OF A FELONY...ETC.
[NOTE: For the pussies and dumb fuckers at the mainstream media faggot act...The complaint was OBSTRUCTED BY DOJ HQ UNDER CHENEY.
Only Senator PAT LEAHY followed up and asked GLEN FINE "what the fuck?"
FINE WAS FORCED TO INVESTIGATE, and did a piss poor job, ignoring alot of PATRIOT ACT ABUSES. FINE did not contact me. Fine missed the "illegal use of SNEAK AND PEAK" IN WHICH "SNEAK AND PEAK" is used by civilian contractors to harass the target while FBI AND COPS AND US ATTORNEYS use the "tickling the wire" entrapment game to hide BRADY VIOLATIONS while TAPEING THE TARGET WITHOUT MENTIONING THE HARASSMENT AS A CAUSITIVE FACTOR TO ELICIT THE INFLAMMATORY STATEMENT?
FBI, NSA, and cops...all work with prosecutors to also...RELABEL THE TAPE RECORDING so it comforts with the warrant applicaiton dates. Changing the date on a tape, is nothing for PERJURING, LYING, SUBORNING PERJURY, OBSTRUCTING LOWLIFES in law enforcement who play a WIN AT ALL COSTS GAME knowing that OBAMA--HOLDER will not ever INDICT, ARREST, OR INVESTIGATE ANY FBI, DOJ, OR POLICE STATE ACTOR.
FINE did not cover the SPECIAL SERVICE provision of the PATRIOT ACT that gave 100 FBI BADGES TO CIA GOONS, who ran wild running COINTELPRO FELONIES ON THE TARGET, who is often times, just a cooperating witness who wrote a complaint?
TAMPERING WITH A WITNESS, INTERSTATE STALKING, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE....etc...IT'S ALL COVERED UP BY BOB MUELLER'S PUSSIFIED FAGGOT ACT AND HIS BOGUS ASSERTION IN FRONT OF LEAHY THAT, "....we followed our protocol..." while ignoring GOP--NSA--DOD--FBI--CIA PATRIOT ACT MURDERS OF LAWYERS, COPS, and pregnant christian housewives????]
B)---TEN PAGE MEMO TO IOWA US SENATOR CHARLES GRASSLEY that tripped THE NYTIMES finally printing the story on The NSA TSP wiretapping (All Title III felonies...no REAL AUTHENTIC TERRORISTS INVOLVED...ALL FBI COINELPRO).
MR HOLDER, what is in that memo to Grassley that forced MUELLER--CHENEY--HAYDEN--RUMSFIELD to send goons to attack Grassley's finance staffer with a BASEBALL BAT?
LEO WANTA TRUST FUND SWINDLE BY BUSH CRIME FAMILY....perhaps?
See, THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND'S BLOGGER CHRIS STORY at (INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY REVIEW) who gets info from MI--5....Cheney and neocons stiffed the Queen, and did not want to pay her back?...just like BUSH STIFFED PUTIN, FORCING HIM TO ATTACK GEORGIA TO SEIZE THE PIPELINE...no?;
C)---SOUTH DAKOTA BOARD OF MEDICAL AND OSTEOPATHIC EXAMINERS COMPLAINT mentioning the FBI'S MEDICAL STOOGES, DR CHAD CARDA, AND JENNIFER BURGER who violated their fiduciary duty to the medical patient. The DOCTORS WERE CONTACTED BY SIOUX FALLS FBI COUNTERINTELIGENCE CRIMINAL STEVEN PLUTA who "ordered the Doctors to hide the x rays showing the chip" and also "ordered them to falsely report x rays results to mislead, humiliate, and denigrate the medical patient".
The doctors were also ordered to NOT GIVE THE PATIENT THE MEDICAL X RAYS SHOWING THE CHIP, and instead....were told to PROMOTE FIVE OTHER X RAYS THAT WERE NOT FILM OF MY SKULL. All done to confuse, mislead, and misdirect BOB MUELLER'S FBI OPERATION SLAMMER MK ULTRA TERRORIST. Shock Doctrine: CREATE THE PROBLEM TERRORIST, AND THEN CREATE THE SOLUTION WHILE HIDING THE BRADY MATERIAL. That is Mueller's punk game.
Eric Holder has never once...thought about appointing a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO TALK TO ME ABOUT CRIMINAL CHARGES?????!!!!!
D)---SIX SOUTH DAKOTA STATE BAR ETHICS COMPLAINTS naming prosecutors, judges, defense counsel, and THOMAS C. BARNETT, JR. These complaints were OBSTRUCTED BY SF FBI AGENT STEVEN PLUTA to cover up the STATE AND FED FELONY CRIMES COMMITTED BY PLUTA'S JOINT FED LOCAL TERRORISM TASK FORCE.
HOLDER has no interest?
BARKY OBAMA has no interest?
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE for state and fed misdemeanors and felonies committed by cops, feds, states attorneys, judges. All hidden by STATE SECRETS DOCTRINE in which NO STATE SECRET OR NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE EXISTS???!!!!
8) POLITICALLY MOTIVATED TORTURE AND ATTEMPTED MURDERS OF US CITIZENS CONTINUES UNDER BARACK OBAMA'S "Audacity of Hopelessness" in a ORWELL MEETS KAFKA POLICE STATE protected by ERIC HOLDER AND HIS NEW BOGUS CLOWN DOJ HQ?
HOLDER, LEAHY, CONYERS, FEINGOLD....none of them want my version of the truth?
How can you overturn PATRIOT ACT, FISA LAW, AND WAR COMMISSIONS ACT (as it is applied to legalize all torture of all US Citizens and complainants) if THE DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THE CRAP THAT COMES OUT OF HOLDER--OBAMA?
HOW CAN THE DEMS DO OVERSITE, when they do not call dissenting witnesses to accuse, direct, obviate, and imply all the POLITICALLY MOTIVATED FELONIES COMMITTED BY PAST GOP MILITARY GESTAPO POLICE STATE ACTORS who performed the false flag terrorism and school shooters to whip up hysteria???!!!
2)The only vehicle with a line of sight was a small white RV with smoked glass windows on the side...and...the blacked out windows made a perfect location to hide the weapon and also direct microwave radiation at the back of the truck, where my head was resting. Gee...I wonder if MUELLER'S GOON SQUAD CIVILIAN VIGALANTEES, KNOWN AS "INFRAGUARD" is the new version of NSA TSP MERCS?
GEE, I wonder if BOULDER CITY, NEVADA PD CHIEF knows what the vigilante surveillance (INFRAGUARD) is doing...while BOULDER CITY, NEVADA PD joins the conspiracy and earns civil liability for SECTION 1983 torts?
3) THE PAIN IS ALWAYS SPECIFIC TO THE LINE OF SIGHT SO THAT...the body parts closest to the line of fire, will experience more pain, and distress.
I have been fried with DEW WEAPONS BEFORE. I got fried in my own home, after FBI'S JOINT FED LOCAL TERRORISM TASK FORCE found info from the MAGIC LANTERN keystroke logger on my computer.
THAT INFO INCLUDED MY UNFINISHED DRAFT OF MY CIVIL SUIT, MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN FED DIST COURT IN SIOUX FALLS, SD, and...MOTION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS ordering DOJ HQ to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate CHENEY--HAYDEN--GOSS--DUMSFIELD--MUELLER'S PATRIOT ACT MURDERS OF MY KNOWN ASSOCIATES.
THE PAIN IS ALWAYS SPECIFIC TO THE LINE OF SIGHT SO THAT...the body parts closest to the line of fire, will experience more pain, and distress.
4) A RED HAIRED LADY working for Bob Mueller's FBI HQ (provocateurs hidden behind corporate surveillance fronts so big, bad, murdering, drug dealer BOB MUELLER CAN HIDE HIS PUNK ASS) WAS NERVOUSLY FIDGETING INSIDE THE RV when I approached to finish my investigation.
5) THIS IS HOW BOB MUELLER AND HIS INFRAGUARD NEUTRALIZE COOPERATING WITNESSES WHO SIGN US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINTS. THE WAR COMMISSIONS ACT THAT SENATOR FEINGOLD wants to overturn...MAKES TORTURING US CITIZENS...PSEUDO LEGAL until a Fed Court decides the constitutional issue. OF COURSE, THAT IMPLIES THAT A MIND CONTROLLED TORTURE VICTIM can actually talk to attorneys without the FBI CHILLING ALL SIXTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS when the surveillance "follows the target to law firms" to defame, slander, and seize all attorney--client confidential documents and computer CDs.

Two FBI Whistleblowers Confirm Illegal Wiretapping of Government Officials and Misuse of FISA

Two FBI Whistleblowers Confirm Illegal Wiretapping of Government Officials and Misuse of FISA
State Secrets Privilege Was Used to Cover Up Corruption and Silence Whistleblowers
The National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC) has obtained a copy of an official complaint filed by a veteran FBI Special Agent, Gilbert Graham, with the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (DOJ-OIG). SA Graham’s protected disclosures report the violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in conducting electronic surveillance of high-profile U.S. public officials.
Before his retirement in 2002, SA Gilbert Graham worked for the FBI Washington Field Office (WFO) Squad NS-24.
One of the main areas of Mr. Graham’s counterintelligence investigations involved espionage activities by Turkish officials and agents in the United States.
On April 2, 2002, Graham filed with the DOJ-OIG a classified protected disclosure, which provided a detailed account of FISA violations involving misuse of FISA warrants to engage in domestic surveillance.
In his unclassified report SA Graham states: “It is the complainant’s reasonable belief that the request for ELSUR [electronic surveillance] coverage was a subterfuge to collect evidentiary information concerning public corruption matters.” Graham blew the whistle on this illegal behavior, but the actions were covered up by the Department of Justice and the Attorney General’s office.
Click here to read the unclassified version of SA Graham’s Official Report.
The report filed by SA Graham bolsters another FBI whistleblower’s case that became public several months after Graham’s official filing with the Justice Department in 2002. Sibel Edmonds, former FBI Language Specialist, also worked for the FBI Washington Field Office (WFO), and her assignments included the translations of Turkish Counterintelligence documents and audiotapes, some of which were part of espionage investigations led by SA Graham.
After she filed her complaint with the DOJ-OIG and Congress, she was retaliated against by the FBI and ultimately fired in March 2002. Court proceedings in Edmonds’ case were blocked by the assertion of the State Secrets Privilege by then Attorney General John Ashcroft, and the Congress gagged and prevented from investigating her case through retroactive re-classification of documents by DOJ. To read the timeline on Edmonds’ case Click here.
Edmonds’ complaint included allegations of illegal activities by Turkish organizations and their agents in the United States, and the involvement of certain elected and appointed U.S. officials in the Department of State, Pentagon, and the U.S. Congress in these activities.
In its September 2005 issue, Vanity Fair ran a comprehensive piece on Edmonds’ case by reporter David Rose, in which several former and current congressional and Justice Department officials identified former House Speaker Dennis Hastert as being involved in illegal activities with the Turkish organizations and personnel targeted in FBI investigations.
In addition, Rose reported: “…much of what Edmonds reportedly heard seemed to concern not state espionage but criminal activity. There was talk, she told investigators, of laundering the profits of large-scale drug deals and of selling classified military technologies to the highest bidder.” In January 2005, DOJ-OIG released an unclassified summary of its investigation into Edmonds' termination.
The report concluded that Edmonds was fired for reporting serious security breaches and misconduct in the agency's translation program, and that many of her allegations were supported by convincing evidence.
Another Former Veteran FBI Counterintelligence and Espionage Specialist at FBI Headquarters in Washington DC also filed similar reports with DOJ-OIG and several congressional offices regarding violations of FISA implementation and the covering up of several espionage cases involving FBI Language Specialists and public corruption cases by the Bureau.
The cases reported by this whistleblower corroborate those reported by SA Graham and Sibel Edmonds. In an interview with NSWBC investigators the former FBI Specialist, who wished to remain anonymous, stated: “…you are looking at covering up massive public corruption and espionage cases; to top that off you have major violations of FISA by the FBI Washington Field Office and HQ targeting these cases. Everyone involved has motive to cover up these reports and prevent investigation and public disclosure. No wonder they invoked the state secrets privilege in Edmonds’ case.”
William Weaver, NSWBC Senior Advisor noted that,”These abuses of power are precisely why we must pay attention to whistleblowers. Preservation of the balance of powers between the branches of government increasingly relies on information provided by whistleblowers, especially in the face of aggressive and expanding executive power. Through illegal surveillance members of Congress and other officials may be controlled by the executive branch, thereby dissolving the matrix of our democracy. The abuse of two powers of secrecy, FISA and the state secrets privilege, are working hand in hand to subvert the Constitution. In an abominably perverse arrangement, the abuse of FISA is being covered up by abuse of the state secrets privilege. Only whistleblowers and the congressional and judicial oversight their revelations spawn can bring our system back into balance.”
Several civil liberties and whistleblowers organizations have joined Edmonds and NSWBC in urging congress to hold public hearing on Edmonds’ case, including the supporting cases of SA Graham and other FBI witnesses, and the erroneous use of state secrets privilege by the executive branch to cover up its own illegal conduct. The petition endorsed by these groups is expected to be released to public in the next few days.

By ERIC LICHTBLAU and JAMES RISEN
Published: April 15, 2009
WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency intercepted private e-mail messages and phone calls of Americans in recent months on a scale that went beyond the broad legal limits established by Congress last year, government officials said in recent interviews.
Several intelligence officials, as well as lawyers briefed about the matter, said the N.S.A. had been engaged in “overcollection” of domestic communications of Americans. They described the practice as significant and systemic, although one official said it was believed to have been unintentional.
The legal and operational problems surrounding the N.S.A.’s surveillance activities have come under scrutiny from the Obama administration, Congressional intelligence committees and a secret national security court, said the intelligence officials, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because N.S.A. activities are classified.
When SIOUX FALLS FBI put an illegal "keystroke logger" on my home computer....they picked up in real time, my drafting of THE INFAMOUS DASCHLE CAMPAIGN MEMO that Dems had, and could have used to swing the election to US SEN TOM DASCHLE who lost to Thune.
Classified government briefings have been held in recent weeks in response to a brewing controversy that some officials worry could damage the credibility of legitimate intelligence-gathering efforts.
The Justice Department, in response to inquiries from The New York Times, acknowledged Wednesday night that there had been problems with the N.S.A. surveillance operation, but said they had been resolved.
As part of a periodic review of the agency’s activities, the department “detected issues that raised concerns,” it said. Justice Department officials then “took comprehensive steps to correct the situation and bring the program into compliance” with the law and court orders, the statement said. It added that Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. went to the national security court to seek a renewal of the surveillance program only after new safeguards were put in place.
In a statement on Wednesday night, the N.S.A. said that its “intelligence operations, including programs for collection and analysis, are in strict accordance with U.S. laws and regulations.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees the intelligence community, did not address specific aspects of the surveillance problems but said in a statement that “when inadvertent mistakes are made, we take it very seriously and work immediately to correct them.”
The questions may not be settled yet.
Intelligence officials say they are still examining the scope of the N.S.A. practices, and Congressional investigators say they hope to determine if any violations of Americans’ privacy occurred. It is not clear to what extent the agency may have actively listened in on conversations or read e-mail messages of Americans without proper court authority, rather than simply obtained access to them.
The intelligence officials said the problems had grown out of changes enacted by Congress last July in the law that regulates the government’s wiretapping powers, and the challenges posed by enacting a new framework for collecting intelligence on terrorism and spying suspects.
While the N.S.A.’s operations in recent months have come under examination, new details are also emerging about earlier domestic-surveillance activities, including the agency’s attempt to wiretap a member of Congress, without court approval, on an overseas trip, current and former intelligence officials said.
After a contentious three-year debate that was set off by the disclosure in 2005 of the program of wiretapping without warrants that President George W. Bush approved after the Sept. 11 attacks, Congress gave the N.S.A. broad new authority to collect, without court-approved warrants, vast streams of international phone and e-mail traffic as it passed through American telecommunications gateways. The targets of the eavesdropping had to be “reasonably believed” to be outside the United States. Under the new legislation, however, the N.S.A. still needed court approval to monitor the purely domestic communications of Americans who came under suspicion.
In recent weeks, the eavesdropping agency notified members of the Congressional intelligence committees that it had encountered operational and legal problems in complying with the new wiretapping law, Congressional officials said.
Officials would not discuss details of the overcollection problem because it involves classified intelligence-gathering techniques. But the issue appears focused in part on technical problems in the N.S.A.’s ability at times to distinguish between communications inside the United States and those overseas as it uses its access to American telecommunications companies’ fiber-optic lines and its own spy satellites to intercept millions of calls and e-mail messages.
One official said that led the agency to inadvertently “target” groups of Americans and collect their domestic communications without proper court authority. Officials are still trying to determine how many violations may have occurred.
The overcollection problems appear to have been uncovered as part of a twice-annual certification that the Justice Department and the director of national intelligence are required to give to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on the protocols that the N.S.A. is using in wiretapping. That review, officials said, began in the waning days of the Bush administration and was continued by the Obama administration. It led intelligence officials to realize that the N.S.A. was improperly capturing information involving significant amounts of American traffic.
Notified of the problems by the N.S.A., officials with both the House and Senate intelligence committees said they had concerns that the agency had ignored civil liberties safeguards built into last year’s wiretapping law. “We have received notice of a serious issue involving the N.S.A., and we’ve begun inquiries into it,” a Congressional staff member said.
Separate from the new inquiries, the Justice Department has for more than two years been investigating aspects of the N.S.A.’s wiretapping program.
As part of that investigation, a senior F.B.I. agent recently came forward with what the inspector general’s office described as accusations of “significant misconduct” in the surveillance program, people with knowledge of the investigation said. Those accusations are said to involve whether the N.S.A. made Americans targets in eavesdropping operations based on insufficient evidence tying them to terrorism.
And in one previously undisclosed episode, the N.S.A. tried to wiretap a member of Congress without a warrant, an intelligence official with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The agency believed that the congressman, whose identity could not be determined, was in contact — as part of a Congressional delegation to the Middle East in 2005 or 2006 — with an extremist who had possible terrorist ties and was already under surveillance, the official said. The agency then sought to eavesdrop on the congressman’s conversations, the official said.
The official said the plan was ultimately blocked because of concerns from some intelligence officials about using the N.S.A., without court oversight, to spy on a member of Congress.

Another Former Veteran FBI Counterintelligence and Espionage Specialist at FBI Headquarters in Washington DC also filed similar reports with DOJ-OIG and several congressional offices regarding violations of FISA implementation and the covering up of several espionage cases involving FBI Language Specialists and public corruption cases by the Bureau.
The cases reported by this whistleblower corroborate those reported by SA Graham and Sibel Edmonds. In an interview with NSWBC investigators the former FBI Specialist, who wished to remain anonymous, stated: “…you are looking at covering up massive public corruption and espionage cases; to top that off you have major violations of FISA by the FBI Washington Field Office and HQ targeting these cases. Everyone involved has motive to cover up these reports and prevent investigation and public disclosure. No wonder they invoked the state secrets privilege in Edmonds’ case.”
William Weaver, NSWBC Senior Advisor noted that,”These abuses of power are precisely why we must pay attention to whistleblowers. Preservation of the balance of powers between the branches of government increasingly relies on information provided by whistleblowers, especially in the face of aggressive and expanding executive power. Through illegal surveillance members of Congress and other officials may be controlled by the executive branch, thereby dissolving the matrix of our democracy. The abuse of two powers of secrecy, FISA and the state secrets privilege, are working hand in hand to subvert the Constitution. In an abominably perverse arrangement, the abuse of FISA is being covered up by abuse of the state secrets privilege. Only whistleblowers and the congressional and judicial oversight their revelations spawn can bring our system back into balance.”
Several civil liberties and whistleblowers organizations have joined Edmonds and NSWBC in urging congress to hold public hearing on Edmonds’ case, including the supporting cases of SA Graham and other FBI witnesses, and the erroneous use of state secrets privilege by the executive branch to cover up its own illegal conduct. The petition endorsed by these groups is expected to be released to public in the next few days.

WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency intercepted private e-mail messages and phone calls of Americans in recent months on a scale that went beyond the broad legal limits established by Congress last year, government officials said in recent interviews.
Several intelligence officials, as well as lawyers briefed about the matter, said the N.S.A. had been engaged in “overcollection” of domestic communications of Americans. They described the practice as significant and systemic, although one official said it was believed to have been unintentional.
The legal and operational problems surrounding the N.S.A.’s surveillance activities have come under scrutiny from the Obama administration, Congressional intelligence committees and a secret national security court, said the intelligence officials, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because N.S.A. activities are classified.
When SIOUX FALLS FBI put an illegal "keystroke logger" on my home computer....they picked up in real time, my drafting of THE INFAMOUS DASCHLE CAMPAIGN MEMO that Dems had, and could have used to swing the election to US SEN TOM DASCHLE who lost to Thune.
Classified government briefings have been held in recent weeks in response to a brewing controversy that some officials worry could damage the credibility of legitimate intelligence-gathering efforts.
The Justice Department, in response to inquiries from The New York Times, acknowledged Wednesday night that there had been problems with the N.S.A. surveillance operation, but said they had been resolved.
As part of a periodic review of the agency’s activities, the department “detected issues that raised concerns,” it said. Justice Department officials then “took comprehensive steps to correct the situation and bring the program into compliance” with the law and court orders, the statement said. It added that Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. went to the national security court to seek a renewal of the surveillance program only after new safeguards were put in place.
In a statement on Wednesday night, the N.S.A. said that its “intelligence operations, including programs for collection and analysis, are in strict accordance with U.S. laws and regulations.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees the intelligence community, did not address specific aspects of the surveillance problems but said in a statement that “when inadvertent mistakes are made, we take it very seriously and work immediately to correct them.”
The questions may not be settled yet.
Intelligence officials say they are still examining the scope of the N.S.A. practices, and Congressional investigators say they hope to determine if any violations of Americans’ privacy occurred. It is not clear to what extent the agency may have actively listened in on conversations or read e-mail messages of Americans without proper court authority, rather than simply obtained access to them.
The intelligence officials said the problems had grown out of changes enacted by Congress last July in the law that regulates the government’s wiretapping powers, and the challenges posed by enacting a new framework for collecting intelligence on terrorism and spying suspects.
While the N.S.A.’s operations in recent months have come under examination, new details are also emerging about earlier domestic-surveillance activities, including the agency’s attempt to wiretap a member of Congress, without court approval, on an overseas trip, current and former intelligence officials said.
After a contentious three-year debate that was set off by the disclosure in 2005 of the program of wiretapping without warrants that President George W. Bush approved after the Sept. 11 attacks, Congress gave the N.S.A. broad new authority to collect, without court-approved warrants, vast streams of international phone and e-mail traffic as it passed through American telecommunications gateways. The targets of the eavesdropping had to be “reasonably believed” to be outside the United States. Under the new legislation, however, the N.S.A. still needed court approval to monitor the purely domestic communications of Americans who came under suspicion.
In recent weeks, the eavesdropping agency notified members of the Congressional intelligence committees that it had encountered operational and legal problems in complying with the new wiretapping law, Congressional officials said.
Officials would not discuss details of the overcollection problem because it involves classified intelligence-gathering techniques. But the issue appears focused in part on technical problems in the N.S.A.’s ability at times to distinguish between communications inside the United States and those overseas as it uses its access to American telecommunications companies’ fiber-optic lines and its own spy satellites to intercept millions of calls and e-mail messages.
One official said that led the agency to inadvertently “target” groups of Americans and collect their domestic communications without proper court authority. Officials are still trying to determine how many violations may have occurred.
The overcollection problems appear to have been uncovered as part of a twice-annual certification that the Justice Department and the director of national intelligence are required to give to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on the protocols that the N.S.A. is using in wiretapping. That review, officials said, began in the waning days of the Bush administration and was continued by the Obama administration. It led intelligence officials to realize that the N.S.A. was improperly capturing information involving significant amounts of American traffic.
Notified of the problems by the N.S.A., officials with both the House and Senate intelligence committees said they had concerns that the agency had ignored civil liberties safeguards built into last year’s wiretapping law. “We have received notice of a serious issue involving the N.S.A., and we’ve begun inquiries into it,” a Congressional staff member said.
Separate from the new inquiries, the Justice Department has for more than two years been investigating aspects of the N.S.A.’s wiretapping program.
As part of that investigation, a senior F.B.I. agent recently came forward with what the inspector general’s office described as accusations of “significant misconduct” in the surveillance program, people with knowledge of the investigation said. Those accusations are said to involve whether the N.S.A. made Americans targets in eavesdropping operations based on insufficient evidence tying them to terrorism.
And in one previously undisclosed episode, the N.S.A. tried to wiretap a member of Congress without a warrant, an intelligence official with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The agency believed that the congressman, whose identity could not be determined, was in contact — as part of a Congressional delegation to the Middle East in 2005 or 2006 — with an extremist who had possible terrorist ties and was already under surveillance, the official said. The agency then sought to eavesdrop on the congressman’s conversations, the official said.
The official said the plan was ultimately blocked because of concerns from some intelligence officials about using the N.S.A., without court oversight, to spy on a member of Congress.

Former NY Cardinal Spellman linked to 1980’s pedophile rings by NY police detective
By Greg Szymanski, JD
April 11, 2009
Readers recently wanted the Arctic Beacon to emphasize the connection between Vatican influence and money to the 1982 kidnapping of newspaper boy Johhny Gosch.
John “Johnny” David Gosch was kidnapped on September 5, 1982, at age 12, only two blocks from his home in West Des Moines, Iowa, while delivering newspapers. Soon after, he was drugged, molested, sold, and prostituted.
His complete story can be found at www.justiceforjohnnygosch.com
The connection to the huge pedophilia ring operating in this country was recently made on Greg Szymanski’s Investigative Journal radio show at www.libertyradiolive.com by former New York City police detective Jim Rothstein.
Rothstein, appointed by the governor of New York in the early 1980s to get to the bottom of the pedophile rings, found solid evidence leading to the doorstep of then Vatican Cardinal Spellman as well as high level government officials and businessmen in and around New York City.
Rothstein said the investigation was quashed by District Attorney Robert Morgenthau to protect the “bigshots”.
Instead of wiretaps being authorized on Spellman, who Rothstein said was one of “the most powerful and evil men” in the U.S., the evidence was confiscated on Morgethau’s orders, leading to a travesty of justice of enormous consequences.
“Morgenthua is still in office and still covering up the massive pedophile rings,” added Rothstein, who is privately helping Noreen Gosch, the mother of Johnny has been trying to get justice for her for more than 25 years. “The problem today is even worse than in the 1980s and in light of all the children kidnapped off the streets, there has never been one investigation that has gone right to the top in order to nab the perpetrators.”
Several people from the Des Moines area who listened to the Rothstein radio interview said the former investigator needs to look into the Vatican connection to the local police department, the Des Moines Register, Gosch’s employer, and WHO radio station.
The connection between the above organizations and organizations like the Knights of Columbus and Knights of Malta needs to be investigated, according to several Iowa readers.
Further, readers said people investigating the pedophilia rings need to thoroughly understand biblical authority when it comes to understanding the Vatican’s influence behind advancing perversion and child abuse.
“I don’t know what it is going to take to wake people up,” said Des Moines area radio personality Tom Friess, who hosts a morning talk show on Liberty Radio Live.
“Des Moines is home to one of the most powerful “clear channel” AM radio stations in the country, WHO 1040. Its logo is an owl, the same owl logo used at Bohemian Grove. Bohemian Grove and the Vatican are connected to the Gosch case. If investigators like Rothstein want to get to the perpetrators of the Gosch kidnapping they need to look into the local archdiocese’s connection. We must ask why the local archdioces was dropped as a defendant in the recent Franklin cover up case?”
Friess also emphasized behind the scenes Vatican involvement in pedophilia, homosexuality and child abuse as well as anti-biblical religious practices like idolatry and changing the commandments of God need to be fully comprehended in order to understand how the Vatican instigates and finances pedophilia and pornography.
Freiss added people need to read Exodus Chapter 20 and Romans Chapter 1 to get the complete picture.
Further, Frank O’Collins, author of The Almanac of Evil, in a recent article gave a historial perspective into the Vatican’s thirst for perversion and the occult.
Here is what O’Collins had to say:
Child Molestation (to “Molest” also known as Pedophilia) is when an adult engages in intimate sexually related contact with a child under the generally accepted completion age of puberty. It is also one of the oldest and most sacred rituals of the Roman Cult since the 14th Century in enabling the “sacrificing of innocence” of children to Moloch without having to physically kill them as had been the tradition under the worship of Cybele and Moloch.
Etymology of the word “Molestation”
The words Molestation/Molest come from the 14th Century religious term “Mollista” created from Moll (from Latin Mollis meaning “soft, weak, young child/boy) and Ista (Latin suffix used to indicate adherence to a certain doctrine or custom).
The original official and religious meaning of Molest (Mollista) is “the adherence to the doctrines and customs (of the Roman Cult) concerning the soft, weak, and young child/boys.”
The common definitions ascribed to “molest”—from late Latin molestus meaning
“troublesome, disagreeable, annoying” are deliberately misleading and designed to hide the religious origin and religious significance of the word.
For example, the Latin words laedo ledo which mean “strike, hit, hurt, damage, offend, annoy, violate” were in historic use for hundreds of years to defined the exact same claimed meanings of molestus –defying a rational explanation why a new word like “mollista” (molestus) was needed, unless it had a different implied meaning.
To add to the confusion, the word Molestation was again altered in its apparent “common” meaning by being introduced into Scottish law by 1456 to mean “the harassing of a person in his possession or occupation of lands” as well as English common law as “injury inflicted upon another.”
As a sacrifice of “innocence” to Moll (Moloch)
In spite of the deliberate efforts to confuse both the origin and key original religious meaning of the word “Molest”, there exists strong evidence of a second important meaning of the word in relation to the common meaning of Moll in the 14th Century onwards.
In England, the word Moll by the 16th Century became a common euphemism for “criminal” and prostitutes became commonly known as “Molls”—the claim it is a shortened version of Mary a ridiculous diversion.
However, prior to the word Moll becoming associated openly with the notion of criminals, it appears the word was used at least from the 13th Century as a shortened version of the name of Moloch and actions undertaken in the name of Moloch, or “Molls”.
This gives us then a second important and credible religious meaning associated to the word “Molest” being “the adherence to the doctrines and customs (of the Roman Cult) concerning the soft, weak, and young child/boys and a sacrifice to Moloch.”
The modern clinical term Pedophilia
The term Pedophilia (first recorded in 1951) is a modern term created from the Greek words (gen. paidos) “child” (see pedo-) + philos “loving.”
Contrary to public belief, the term Pedophilia has the unfortunate literal meaning of “loving children”, than the criminal action of child abuse. While Pedophilia has absolutely no religious significance as a word, its continued use as a term to describe child molestation and child abuse is misleading—implying those branded as “pedophiles” have some emotional empathy towards their victims (implied by philes/philos-love).
The history of religious and systematic abuse of children
To date, the Roman Cult, otherwise known as the Vatican is the only organization in history to orchestrate as a “sacred” religious ceremony the systematic and widespread encouragement of its clergy to abuse of children from as late as the 14th Century.
The physical and mental abuse of tens of millions of children for 700 years by the clergy of the Vatican is the largest unbroken “child abuse ring” of all time, still in complete operation today.
The motivation for such evil remains the dedication of the innocence of children to the demon god of sacrifice- Moloch either consciously or unconsciously by the Roman Catholic and some Christian clergy.
Due to the lack of understanding of religious terms and the true meaning of words, some parents with children under the care of Catholic clergy mistakenly believe that the Roman Cult of the Vatican have openly repudiated the “sacred act” of molestation—a false assumption.
The Vatican – always precise with their words—has condemned pedophilia which is a modern term and has absolutely nothing to do with the ancient worship of Moloch, nor the religious term molest/molestation.
No parent who values the sanctity of the innocence of their children should ever believe that their children are safe in the hands of Catholic Clergy until the Roman Cult and Vatican is disbanded. Until that day, all children in the care of Catholic Clergy remain at extreme risk throughout the world from ongoing, encouraged molestation.

Anatomy of Bush's Torture Paradigm
W, the Torture Decider
By RAY McGOVERN
The prose of the recently leaked report of the International Committee of the Red Cross on torture seems colorless. It is at the same time obscene — almost pornographic.
The 41-page ICRC report depicts scenes of prisoners forced to remain naked for long periods, sometimes in the presence of women, often with their hands shackled over their heads in "stress positions" as they are left to soil themselves.
The report's images of sadism also include prisoners slammed against walls, locked in tiny boxes, and strapped to a bench and subjected to the drowning sensation of waterboarding.
How could it be that we Americans tolerate the kind of leaders who would subject others to systematic torture — yes, that’s what the official report of the international body charged with monitoring the Geneva agreements on the treatment of prisoners concludes — torture.
Over the past week I have been asked to explain how this could have happened; who authorized the torture in our name? The Red Cross report lacks the earmarks of rogues or “rotten apples” at the bottom of some barrel.
This is what I have been telling those who ask:
Rather than Harry Truman’s famous motto on his Oval Office desk, “The Buck Stops Here,” this was a case of “The Buck Starts Here.” President George W. Bush set the tone and created the framework, with strong support from Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
The first hints of what was in store came from the President himself in the White House bunker late on Sept. 11, 2001, at a meeting with his closest national security advisers after his TV address to the nation about the terrorist attacks that morning.
The vengeful bunker mentality prevailing at that meeting comes through clearly in the report of one of the participants, Richard Clarke in his book, Against All Enemies. Describing the President as confident, determined, forceful, Clarke provides the following account of what President Bush said:
“We are at war.… Nothing else matters. … Any barriers in your way, they’re gone.”
When, later in the discussion, Secretary Rumsfeld noted that international law allowed the use of force only to prevent future attacks and not for retribution, Bush nearly bit his head off.
“No,” the President yelled in the narrow conference room, “I don’t care what the international lawyers say, we are going to kick some ass.”
‘Taking the Gloves Off’
In the weeks that followed, the air in Washington hung heavy with demons of retribution. Afghanistan was invaded in October 2001, and during a prisoner uprising on Nov. 25, a CIA officer was killed there.
A young American citizen, John Walker Lindh, was discovered among the prisoners in the area. There was not the slightest evidence that Lindh had anything to do with the killing.
But documents show that U.S. Joint Special Operations troops were told that the office of the Defense Secretary’s counsel (William J. Haynes II, was Pentagon general counsel at the time) had authorized an Army intelligence officer “to take the gloves off and ask whatever he wanted” of Lindh.
Despite urgent intervention by Justice Department ethics attorney Jesselyn Radack, Lindh was not properly read his rights. Instead, the FBI agent on the scene ad-libbed in an offhand way, “You have the right to an attorney. But there are no attorneys here in Afghanistan.”
Lindh had been seriously wounded in the leg. Despite that, U.S. troops put a hood over him, stripped him naked, duct-taped him to a stretcher for days in an unheated and unlit shipping container, and threatened him with death.
Parts of his humiliating ordeal were captured on film (a practice that became tragically familiar with the photos of Abu Ghraib).
In her book, Canary in the Coalmine: Blowing the Whistle in the Case of John Walker Lindh, attorney Radack comments that official documents pertaining to this case provide “the earliest known evidence that the Bush Administration was willing to push the envelope on how far it could go to extract information from suspected terrorists.”
(Because she protested, Radack was fired as Justice Department legal ethics advisor, put under criminal investigation, and even added to the “no-fly” list.)
End-Run Around Geneva
But the Bush administration was just getting started.
On Jan. 18, 2002, White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales advised the President that the Justice Department had issued a formal legal opinion concluding that the Geneva Convention III on the Treatment of Prisoners of War (GPW) does not apply with respect to al Qaeda.
Gonzales added that he understood that Bush had “decided that GPW does not apply and, accordingly, that al Qaeda and Taliban detainees are not prisoners of war under the GPW.”
On Jan. 19, 2002, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld told combat commanders that the President had “determined that al-Qaeda and Taliban individuals under the control of the Department of Defense are not entitled to prisoner of war status for purposes of the Geneva Conventions of 1949.”
Secretary of State Colin Powell asked the President to reconsider his decision and to conclude, instead, that the GPW does apply to both al Qaeda and the Taliban. But Powell’s protest was couched in bureaucratic politeness, rather than in anger and outrage. [See Consortiumnews.com’s “Cowardice in the Time of Torture.”]
The next step took the form of the fateful memorandum of Jan. 25, 2002, signed by Alberto Gonzales but drafted by counsel to the Vice President David Addington. That memo outlined for the President “the ramifications of your decision and the Secretary’s [Powell’s] request for reconsideration.”
It described a “new paradigm” that, the writers claimed “renders obsolete Geneva’s strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners, and renders quaint some of its provisions.”
Gonzales and Addington urged the President to disregard Powell’s misgivings and move ahead. But they cloaked their argument in lawyerly language that obscured what was to come.
The lawyers argued that it was “appropriate” and “consistent with military necessity” to waive Geneva regarding the treatment of al Qaeda and Taliban detainees, but they inserted assurances that the prisoners would be treated “humanely” and “in a manner consistent with the principles of GPW.”
Powell Rebuffed
Brushing aside Powell’s objections, President Bush adopted the Gonzales/Addington language and signed a memorandum to that effect on Feb. 7, 2002. The memo went to Vice President Cheney, Secretary of State Powell, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Chief of Staff to the President Andrew Card, Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Condoleezza Rice, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Richard Myers.
The memo amounted to an executive order, although it was not labeled as such. In it, the President alludes fulsomely to Justice Department opinions and recommendations, as well as “facts” supplied by the Defense Department.
Bush then takes clear responsibility for the decision to spurn Geneva: “I determine that common Article 3 of Geneva does not apply to either al Qaeda or Taliban detainees. … I determine that Taliban detainees … do not qualify as prisoners of war under Article 4 of Geneva … and that al Qaeda detainees also do not qualify as prisoners of war.”
The Feb. 7, 2002, memo bears the Orwellian title “Humane Treatment of al Qaeda and Taliban Detainees.” In it, Bush lifts verbatim the language from the Gonzales/Addington memo of Jan. 25, 2002, and makes it his own.
Bush claimed, for example, “the war against terrorism ushers in a new paradigm [that] requires new thinking in the law of war.”
Bush then tries to square a circle, directing (twice in the two-page memo) that “detainees be treated humanely and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with military necessity, in a manner consistent with the principles of GPW.”

Rather than Harry Truman’s famous motto on his Oval Office desk, “The Buck Stops Here,” this was a case of “The Buck Starts Here.” President George W. Bush set the tone and created the framework, with strong support from Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
The first hints of what was in store came from the President himself in the White House bunker late on Sept. 11, 2001, at a meeting with his closest national security advisers after his TV address to the nation about the terrorist attacks that morning.
The vengeful bunker mentality prevailing at that meeting comes through clearly in the report of one of the participants, Richard Clarke in his book, Against All Enemies. Describing the President as confident, determined, forceful, Clarke provides the following account of what President Bush said:
“We are at war.… Nothing else matters. … Any barriers in your way, they’re gone.”
When, later in the discussion, Secretary Rumsfeld noted that international law allowed the use of force only to prevent future attacks and not for retribution, Bush nearly bit his head off.
“No,” the President yelled in the narrow conference room, “I don’t care what the international lawyers say, we are going to kick some ass.”
‘Taking the Gloves Off’
In the weeks that followed, the air in Washington hung heavy with demons of retribution. Afghanistan was invaded in October 2001, and during a prisoner uprising on Nov. 25, a CIA officer was killed there.
A young American citizen, John Walker Lindh, was discovered among the prisoners in the area. There was not the slightest evidence that Lindh had anything to do with the killing.
But documents show that U.S. Joint Special Operations troops were told that the office of the Defense Secretary’s counsel (William J. Haynes II, was Pentagon general counsel at the time) had authorized an Army intelligence officer “to take the gloves off and ask whatever he wanted” of Lindh.
Despite urgent intervention by Justice Department ethics attorney Jesselyn Radack, Lindh was not properly read his rights. Instead, the FBI agent on the scene ad-libbed in an offhand way, “You have the right to an attorney. But there are no attorneys here in Afghanistan.”
Lindh had been seriously wounded in the leg. Despite that, U.S. troops put a hood over him, stripped him naked, duct-taped him to a stretcher for days in an unheated and unlit shipping container, and threatened him with death.
Parts of his humiliating ordeal were captured on film (a practice that became tragically familiar with the photos of Abu Ghraib).
In her book, Canary in the Coalmine: Blowing the Whistle in the Case of John Walker Lindh, attorney Radack comments that official documents pertaining to this case provide “the earliest known evidence that the Bush Administration was willing to push the envelope on how far it could go to extract information from suspected terrorists.”
(Because she protested, Radack was fired as Justice Department legal ethics advisor, put under criminal investigation, and even added to the “no-fly” list.)
End-Run Around Geneva
But the Bush administration was just getting started.
On Jan. 18, 2002, White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales advised the President that the Justice Department had issued a formal legal opinion concluding that the Geneva Convention III on the Treatment of Prisoners of War (GPW) does not apply with respect to al Qaeda.
Gonzales added that he understood that Bush had “decided that GPW does not apply and, accordingly, that al Qaeda and Taliban detainees are not prisoners of war under the GPW.”
On Jan. 19, 2002, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld told combat commanders that the President had “determined that al-Qaeda and Taliban individuals under the control of the Department of Defense are not entitled to prisoner of war status for purposes of the Geneva Conventions of 1949.”
Secretary of State Colin Powell asked the President to reconsider his decision and to conclude, instead, that the GPW does apply to both al Qaeda and the Taliban. But Powell’s protest was couched in bureaucratic politeness, rather than in anger and outrage. [See Consortiumnews.com’s “Cowardice in the Time of Torture.”]
The next step took the form of the fateful memorandum of Jan. 25, 2002, signed by Alberto Gonzales but drafted by counsel to the Vice President David Addington. That memo outlined for the President “the ramifications of your decision and the Secretary’s [Powell’s] request for reconsideration.”
It described a “new paradigm” that, the writers claimed “renders obsolete Geneva’s strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners, and renders quaint some of its provisions.”
Gonzales and Addington urged the President to disregard Powell’s misgivings and move ahead. But they cloaked their argument in lawyerly language that obscured what was to come.
The lawyers argued that it was “appropriate” and “consistent with military necessity” to waive Geneva regarding the treatment of al Qaeda and Taliban detainees, but they inserted assurances that the prisoners would be treated “humanely” and “in a manner consistent with the principles of GPW.”
Powell Rebuffed
Brushing aside Powell’s objections, President Bush adopted the Gonzales/Addington language and signed a memorandum to that effect on Feb. 7, 2002. The memo went to Vice President Cheney, Secretary of State Powell, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Chief of Staff to the President Andrew Card, Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Condoleezza Rice, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Richard Myers.
The memo amounted to an executive order, although it was not labeled as such. In it, the President alludes fulsomely to Justice Department opinions and recommendations, as well as “facts” supplied by the Defense Department.
Bush then takes clear responsibility for the decision to spurn Geneva: “I determine that common Article 3 of Geneva does not apply to either al Qaeda or Taliban detainees. … I determine that Taliban detainees … do not qualify as prisoners of war under Article 4 of Geneva … and that al Qaeda detainees also do not qualify as prisoners of war.”
The Feb. 7, 2002, memo bears the Orwellian title “Humane Treatment of al Qaeda and Taliban Detainees.” In it, Bush lifts verbatim the language from the Gonzales/Addington memo of Jan. 25, 2002, and makes it his own.
Bush claimed, for example, “the war against terrorism ushers in a new paradigm [that] requires new thinking in the law of war.”
Bush then tries to square a circle, directing (twice in the two-page memo) that “detainees be treated humanely and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with military necessity, in a manner consistent with the principles of GPW.”
