Why the CIA is the World's Number One Terrorist Organization

The time has come to abolish the CIA --to smash it into a thousand pieces --as JFL had promised! Its leadership should be dismissed and investigated. Where there is probable cause, CIA members should be investigated and tried for crimes against humanity.The CIA, itself a ruthless, terrorist organization inspires terrorism in response. In some cases, notably the CIA and al Qaeda, the relationship between the CIA and terrorism is symbiotic. The CIA perpetuates an "American Holocaust", the deaths of some 6 million people from its inception to the year 1987. For as Long as the CIA Exists, the US will never be safe from terrorism. It has long been time to realize JFK's dream of smashing the CIA into a 'thousand pieces'.

CIA operations follow the same recurring script. First, American business interests abroad are threatened by a popular or democratically elected leader. The people support their leader because he intends to conduct land reform, strengthen unions, redistribute wealth, nationalize foreign-owned industry, and regulate business to protect workers, consumers and the environment. So, on behalf of American business, and often with their help, the CIA mobilizes the opposition. First it identifies right-wing groups within the country (usually the military), and offers them a deal: "We'll put you in power if you maintain a favorable business climate for us." The Agency then hires, trains and works with them to overthrow the existing government (usually a democracy).

Pakistan is a case in point.

Since 9/11, the Bush administration has been propping up Musharraf's military regime with $3.6 billion in economic aid from the US and a US-sponsored consortium, not to mention $900 million in military aid and the postponement of overdue debt repayments totaling $13.5 billion. But now the administration is debating whether Musharraf has become too dependent on Islamic extremist political parties in Pakistan to further US interests, and whether he should be pressured to permit the return of two exiled former prime ministers, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif, who have formed an electoral alliance to challenge him in presidential elections scheduled for next year.

--Pakistan: Friend or Foe? The US shouldn't prop up President Musharraf's military regime, Selig S. Harrison

The late Benazir Bhutto revealed the truth before she was brutally gunned down in the streets of Karachi: US policy causes world terrorism. Conveniently for 'official terrorists, she died before she could tell the rest of the story.

When the United States aligns with dictatorships and totalitarian regimes, it compromises the basic democratic principles of its foundation -- namely, life, liberty and justice for all. Dictatorships such as Musharraf's suppress individual rights and freedoms and empower the most extreme elements of society. Oppressed citizens, unable to represent themselves through other means, often turn to extremism and religious fundamentalism.

Benazir Bhutto, A False Choice for Pakistan

A favorite CIA tactic is the CIA "front".

The May 12 terrorist attacks on the al Hamra, Jadawal and Vinnell compounds in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, which killed more than 90 people, were not merely assaults on “symbols” of the imperialist West. The bombers were also intent on weakening the rule of Saudi royal family.While the timing of the bombings in Saudi Arabia and in other countries — just hours before US Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived in Saudi Arabia — suggested a coordinated assault on US targets, the bombings in Riyadh were targeted at key props of the reactionary regime.All three Saudi Arabian targets were associated with Saudi Arabia's role as a US client state: residential compounds housing mainly expatriates working in the country, the offices of the Vinnell Corporation and the residences of its employees.Vinnell, founded in California in 1931, first gained a foothold in Saudi Arabia in 1975. An article by Matt Gaul in the June 1998 Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review, revealed that it was the culmination of a close relationship between the corporation, the US military and Washington's intelligence agencies. This relationship stretched back to the end of World War II, when the US government used the company to ship supplies to the China's counter-revolutionary party, the Kuomintang.During the 1950s and '60s, Vinnell constructed US military airfields in Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Thailand and southern Vietnam. According to Gaul, it was during this period that Albert Vinnell, the corporation's founder, “offered his staff's services to the [CIA], and several CIA agents used employment with Vinnell as cover for operations in Africa and the Middle East”.

How does the CIA do it?

It uses every trick in the book: propaganda, stuffed ballot boxes, purchased elections, extortion, blackmail, sexual intrigue, false stories about opponents in the local media, infiltration and disruption of opposing political parties, kidnapping, beating, torture, intimidation, economic sabotage, death squads and even assassination. These efforts culminate in a military coup, which installs a right-wing dictator. The CIA trains the dictator’s security apparatus to crack down on the traditional enemies of big business, using interrogation, torture and murder. The victims are said to be "communists," but almost always they are just peasants, liberals, moderates, labor union leaders, political opponents and advocates of free speech and democracy. Widespread human rights abuses follow.

--Steve Kangas, A Timeline of CIA Atrocities

The CIA uses all those methods to install dictators like Musharraf, whom it most certainly trained. The CIA is ruthless in its on-going efforts to eliminate with torture and murder, in necessary, all opposition to the interests of American imperialists. Saddam Hussein was among the dictators propped up by the US, the CIA specifically. Saddam ran afoul of Bush Sr by opposing efforts by the Bush regime to keep the price of oil high. The transcript of US Ambassador April Glaspie's interview with Hussein on the eve of his invasion of Kuwait proves conclusively that Hussein had been set up by the master spy --George Bush Sr. The CIAs allegiance to the US oil industry is overt and is most certainly at the very heart of well-founded suspicions about the CIA, Texas oil barons, and JFK. Dealy Plaza is said to have been the nexus of all three! The origins of Bush's war in Iraq may be found in the Arab Oil embargo of the 1970s.

Three decades ago, in the throes of the energy crisis, Washington's hawks conceived of a strategy for US control of the Persian Gulf's oil. Now, with the same strategists firmly in control of the White House, the Bush administration is playing out their script for global dominance. In the geopolitical vision driving current US policy toward Iraq, the key to national security is global hegemony -- dominance over any and all potential rivals. To that end, the United States must not only be able to project its military forces anywhere, at any time. It must also control key resources, chief among them oil -- and especially Gulf oil.

--Robert Dreyfuss, Mother Jones

JFK promised to "smash the CIA into a thousand pieces". Bill Clinton, on the 50th anniversary of "the company", defended it with an absurdity that one might have expected from the GOP! Americans, Clinton said, don't know or understand what the CIA does and should, therefore, lay off! Out not knowing what the CIA is up to is precisely the problem. Bill Clinton is as dead wrong on this issue as Barack Obama is dead wrong about Ronald Reagan. Both positions are premised upon the idea that the American people are stupid and those that are not ought to be! The fact is: the CIA is out of control and they will continue to get away with it as long as the American people are either ignorant, kept in the dark, or both! The CIA is unaccountable and because it is, it remains a cancerous source of unchecked corruption and most certainly the inspiration for generations of American hating terrorists who will fight back in kind! Much has been written about the CIA’s operations, [The Modus Operandi of the CIA] by insiders and outsiders. One insider who has chronicled what he witnessed in the CIA is Ralph McGehee. He worked for the CIA from 1952 until 1977 and now writes about intelligence matters, notably the book Deadly Deceits -- My 25 years in the CIA (New York: Sheridan Square Press, 1983). He has compiled a computer data base on CIA activities. Persons interested may write to him at: 422 Arkansas Ave., Herndon, VA 22070. (See http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA/CIA_SOP.html .) Here are some excerpts of what he has written:

“...it is essential to provide background on the scope and nature of its worldwide operations. Between 1961 and 1975 the Agency conducted 900 major or sensitive operations, and thousands of lesser covert actions. The majority of its operations were propaganda, election or paramilitary. Countries of major concern, such as Indonesia in the early 1960s, were usually subjected to the CIA's most concerted attention. Critics of the CIA have aptly described the mainstays of such attention: "discrediting political groups... by forged documents that may be attributed to them. . . ." faking "communist weapon shipments,'' capturing communist documents and then inserting forgeries prepared by the Agency's Technical Services Division.

--Ralph McGehee

Much of the rest of the world knows the truth about the CIA; Americans are kept in the dark. The media dare not tell the truth about the CIA and the Bush administration, in particular, is complicit. Rare media outlets that dare tell the truth are demonized. Writers and "liberal" activist Steve Kangas turned up dead just outside the office of Richard Mellon Scaife, the multi-billionaire about whom it is no stretch to say he coordinated and bankrolled the "vast right wing conspiracy" to impeach, remove and, in other ways, smear Bill Clinton. As more documents are declassified and the hidden history is made painfully clear, the CIA’s predictable response is compared to the Medieval Church’s oppressive response to the Scientific Revolution. Indeed, there are many things about the CIAs relationship to the world around it that are medieval: intolerance, fear, repression, secrecy and torture. Initially, the CIA would merely harass American writers but foreign writers were tortured and/or murdered. With the death of Steve Kangas, one wonders if the CIA now operates against the domestic media. What's next? An inquisition? The CIA, whose very is name is enough to inspire generations of "terrorists", has outlived its usefulness.

The US and China: One Side is Losing, the Other is Winning

......In China, it all started with a revolution….

capitalism, notably China and South Korea are competing with the US for global power. Asian global power is driven by dynamic economic growth, while the US pursues a strategy of military-driven empire building.One Day’s Read of the Financial Times

Even a cursory read of a single issue of the Financial Times (December 28, 2009) illustrates the divergent strategies toward empire building. On page one, the lead article on the US is on its expanding military conflicts and its ‘war on terror’, entitled“Obama Demands Review of Terror List”. In contrast, there are two page-one articles on China, which describe China’s launching of the world’s fastest long-distance passenger train service and China’s decision to maintain its currency pegged to the US dollar as a mechanism to promote its robust export sector. While Obama turns the US focus on a fourth battle front (Yemen) in the ‘war on terror’ (after Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan), the Financial Times reports on the same page that a South Korean consortium has won a $20.4 billion dollar contract to develop civilian nuclear power plants for the United Arab Emirates, beating its US and European competitors.

On page two of the FT there is a longer article elaborating on the new Chinese rail system, highlighting its superiority over the US rail service: The Chinese ultra-modern train takes passengers between two major cities, 1,100 kilometers, in less than 3 hours whereas the US Amtrack ‘Express’ takes 3 ½ hours to cover 300 kilometers between Boston and New York. While the US passenger rail system deteriorates from lack of investment and maintenance, China has spent $17 billion dollars constructing its express line. China plans to construct 18,000 kilometers of new track for its ultra-modern system by 2012, while the US will spend an equivalent amount in financing its ‘military surge ’in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as opening a new war front in Yemen.

China builds a transport system linking producers and labor markets from the interior provinces with the manufacturing centers and ports on the coast, while on page 4 the Financial Times describes how the US is welded to its policy of confronting the ‘Islamist threat’ with an endless ‘war on terror’. The decades-long wars and occupations of Moslem countries have diverted hundreds of billions of dollars of public funds to a militarist policy with no benefit to the US, while China modernizes its civilian economy. While the White House and Congress subsidize and pander to the militarist-colonial state of Israel with its insignificant resource base and market, alienating 1.5 billion Moslems (Financial Times – page 7), China’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew 10 fold over the past 26 years (FT – page 9). While the US allocated over $1.4 trillion dollars to Wall Street and the military, increasing the fiscal and current account deficits, doubling unemployment and perpetuating the recession (FT – page 12), the Chinese government releases a stimulus package directed at its domestic manufacturing and construction sectors, leading to an 8% growth in GDP, a significant reduction of unemployment and ‘re-igniting linked economies’ in Asia, Latin America and Africa (also on page 12).

While the US was spending time, resources and personnel in running ‘elections’ for its corrupt clients in Afghanistan and Iraq, and participating in pointless mediations between its intransigent Israeli partner and its impotent Palestinian client, the South Korean government backed a consortium headed by the Korea Electric Power Corporation in its successful bid on the $20.4 billion dollar nuclear power deal, opening the way for other billion-dollar contracts in the region (FT – page 13).

While the US was spending over $60 billion dollars on internal policing and multiplying the number and size of its ‘homeland’ security agencies in pursuit of potential ‘terrorists’, China was investing $25 billion dollars in ‘cementing its energy trading relations’ with Russia (FT – page 3).

The story told by the articles and headlines in a single day’s issue of the Financial Times reflects a deeper reality, one that illustrates the great divide in the world today. The Asian countries, led by China, are reaching world power status on the basis of their massive domestic and foreign investments in manufacturing, transportation, technology and mining and mineral processing. In contrast, the US is a declining world power with a deteriorating society resulting from its military-driven empire building and its financial-speculative centered economy:

1. Washington pursues minor military clients in Asia; while China expands its trading and investment agreements with major economic partners – Russia, Japan, South Korea and elsewhere.

2. Washington drains the domestic economy to finance overseas wars. China extracts minerals and energy resources to create its domestic job market in manufacturing.

3. The US invests in military technology to target local insurgents challenging US client regimes; China invests in civilian technology to create competitive exports.

4. China begins to restructure its economy toward developing the country’s interior and allocates greater social spending to redress its gross imbalances and inequalities while the US rescues and reinforces the parasitical financial sector, which plundered industries (strips assets via mergers and acquisitions) and speculates on financial objectives with no impact on employment, productivity or competitiveness.

5. The US multiplies wars and troop build-ups in the Middle East, South Asia, the Horn of Africa and Caribbean; China provides investments and loans of over $25 billion dollars in building infrastructure, mineral extraction, energy production and assembly plants in Africa.

6. China signs multi-billion dollar trade and investment agreements with Iran, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Bolivia, securing access to strategic energy, mineral and agricultural resources; Washington provides $6 billion in military aid to Colombia, secures seven military bases from President Uribe (to threaten Venezuela), backs a military coup in tiny Honduras and denounces Brazil and Bolivia for diversifying its economic ties with Iran.

7. China increases economic relations with dynamic Latin American economies, incorporating over 80% of the continent’s population; the US partners with the failed state of Mexico, which has the worst economic performance in the hemisphere and where powerful drug cartels control wide regions and penetrate deep into the state apparatus.

Conclusion

China is not an exceptional capitalist country. Under Chinese capitalism, labor is exploited; inequalities in wealth and access to services are rampant; peasant-farmers are displaced by mega-dam projects and Chinese companies recklessly extract minerals and other natural resources in the Third World. However, China has created scores of millions of manufacturing jobs, reduced poverty faster and for more people in the shortest time span in history. Its banks mostly finance production. China doesn’t bomb, invade or ravage other countries. In contrast, US capitalism has been harnessed to a monstrous global military machine that drains the domestic economy and lowers the domestic standard of living in order to fund its never-ending foreign wars. Finance, real estate and commercial capital undermine the manufacturing sector, drawing profits from speculation and cheap imports.

China invests in petroleum-rich countries; the US attacks them. China sells plates and bowls for Afghan wedding feasts; US drone aircraft bomb the celebrations. China invests in extractive industries, but, unlike European colonialists, it builds railroads, ports, airfields and provides easy credit. China does not finance and arm ethnic wars and ‘color rebellions’ like the US CIA. China self-finances its own growth, trade and transportation system; the US sinks under a multi trillion dollar debt to finance its endless wars, bail out its Wall Street banks and prop up other non-productive sectors while many millions remain without jobs.

China will grow and exercise power through the market; the US will engage in endless wars on its road to bankruptcy and internal decay. China’s diversified growth is linked to dynamic economic partners; US militarism has tied itself to narco-states, warlord regimes, the overseers of banana republics and the last and worst bona fide racist colonial regime, Israel.

China entices the world’s consumers. US global wars provoke terrorists here and abroad.

China may encounter crises and even workers rebellions, but it has the economic resources to accommodate them. The US is in crisis and may face domestic rebellion, but it has depleted its credit and its factories are all abroad and its overseas bases and military installations are liabilities, not assets. There are fewer factories in the US to re-employ its desperate workers: A social upheaval could see the American workers occupying the empty shells of its former factories.

To become a ‘normal state’ we have to start all over: Close all investment banks and military bases abroad and return to America. We have to begin the long march toward rebuilding industry to serve our domestic needs, to living within our own natural environment and forsake empire building in favor of constructing a democratic socialist republic.

When will we pick up the Financial Times or any other daily and read about our own high-speed rail line carrying American passengers from New York to Boston in less than one hour? When will our own factories supply our hardware stores? When will we build wind, solar and ocean-based energy generators? When will we abandon our military bases and let the world’s warlords, drug traffickers and terrorists face the justice of their own people?

Will we ever read about these in the Financial Times?

In China, it all started with a revolution…

The current battle against the State Secrets Privilege

The current battle against the State Secrets Privilege By Sibel Edmonds Jun 11, 2009, 00:19

During the past few months I have been actively following the latest activity on the State Secrets Privilege (SSP)......http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_4791.shtml.

First, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this issue of extreme importance to our civil liberties and constitutional rights was finally getting long overdue and deserved attention from the media. After all, the memories of fighting SSP in the federal courts all the way up to the Supreme Court, holding press conferences together with the ACLU to bring needed media attention to this draconian abuse, making the rounds in Congress to have them address this ‘privilege’ through legislation to restrict its misuse and abuse, are still fresh and vivid for me.

Then I started detecting some troubling common trends showing up in media reports and subsequently in discussions and statements within Congress. The most suspicious of these came in the form of sanitizing major SSP abuse cases from reports put forth by both the mainstream media and some in alternative publications. The first invocation of the SSP by the Bush administration was in my case. Back then, if you had done a Google search on ‘state secrets privilege’ you would have come up with only seven results; three of them repeats. After successfully getting away with SSP invocation in my case, the administration opened the floodgates for others. Now I invite you to search all the archived news reports on SSP in the last year or so. As you will see, in every single report in which the abuses of SSP and its history are cited, you will not find this first case, my case. Further, if you were to look for other major abuses of SSP, such as the Barlow case, you will find none. The valid cases cited are mainly limited to: Khalid Al-Masri, Maher Arar, Al Haramain Islamic Foundation, Binyam Mohamed, with a note here and there on ‘NSA’ related information and the historical Reynold’s case from 1953.

Finally, I decided to dig further and explore the reasons behind these significant omissions and the accompanying information spin that seems to be packaged with the intention of fulfilling Washington’s objective -- seeing the related campaign and activities fail. Of course, based on my own case and experience with SSP, I had my own theories as to why the issue was being narrowed down to certain ‘selected’ cases and interpretations; counterproductive to the objective shared by SSP recipients and organizations who have been truly active in seeking to have it abolished or reformed through congressional legislation. But I was also interested in getting the opinions of those who have been actually involved with these cases, either as plaintiffs or attorneys representing SSP cases, or even a few trusted insiders in Congress with direct knowledge. So I contacted several and include their views and interpretations here.

The congressional angle

A well seasoned congressional staff member connected to a well-known ‘centrist’ office active in the current SSP debate, who ‘insisted’ on being granted anonymity, had the following to say: “Contrary to what they may claim in order to pacify the recent ‘Anti-State Secrets Privilege’ movement, the Congress does not want to deal with this issue. And this applies to members of both parties . . . of course we will hold a couple of hearings and show we have investigated and reviewed cases . . .”

He then went on to list several enlightening points regarding the ‘real’ factors driving the current position on SSP:

• We are being told that the president [Obama] will veto any proposed legislation dealing with State Secrets Privilege . . . that and that no one in Congress really wants to touch this area. Having the press limit the information to ‘War on Terror Suspects’ [Emphasis added] helps both: the President and the reluctant Congress.
  
  
• The cases before us are ‘selectively’ [Emphasis added] related to the War on Terror. A few Arab guys with their claims will not bring sympathy from the majority in this country. Not in Iowa, not in Utah . . . you catch my drift?
  
  
• . . . I am talking about cases where there are no questions of ‘Criminality’ being involved or covered up. We won’t touch those cases. No one will go for that. The reasons . . . obvious . . . Being unfair or making the wrong call to determine if someone is a terrorist does not constitute ‘criminal.’ [Emphasis Added]. As for the NSA related case, well, the new legislation took care of that . . .
  
  
• By the way, we don’t expect to see any cases of abuses of SSP by the Clinton administration cited anywhere. Holder’s office in the background and the majority leaders up on the front lines are ensuring this through the media and the NGOs.

Let me recap what is being said, the reality ‘on the ground’ here: Like any other president before him, and probably those who’ll come after him, President Obama is not going to limit his presidential powers when it comes to this draconian absolute executive power. He has made it clear to the majority party members and they are set to follow his guideline on this. It is a slam-dunk position with a guaranteed ‘win’ since the minority in Congress also encourages and backs this position.

Somehow the executive branch and the Congress have managed to accomplish their objectives on SSP through the U.S. media. They want the reporting massaged and messaged in such a way that the publicity on SSP is limited to only ‘select’ cases where ‘executive criminality’ and or ‘covering up executive criminality’ will not be an issue. Those SSP cases where the executive branch used this level of secrecy to cover up criminal deeds would make the need for congressional action on SSP far greater. After all, we even have an Executive Order that currently prohibits secrecy and classification from being used by the executive branch in order to conceal violations of law. Of course with the case(s) involving NSA warrantless wiretapping, as quoted by the congressional source above, they no longer have to worry, since they took care of it through retroactive legislation.

With cases involving wrongful detention and abuse of those ‘wrongfully accused’ in the government’s war on terror, it has been set up so that these cases can be written off as ‘egregious labeling, handling and treatment’ committed immediately following the September 11 attacks. Excuses such as ‘extraordinary’ circumstances, ‘bureaucratic bungling,’ and the previous administration’s ‘excess’ have been all lined up to be used if or when SSP makes it’s way into Congress. Further, the government also counts on bigotry to insure that there will be no major public pressure, since the involved victims are not (at least most) Americans, have Arabic names, and are of Muslim background. They believe that the majority of Americans will not be sympathetic to these plaintiffs, so there will be no problem killing any chance of restraining the long-abused SSP through meaningful legislation.

Richard Barlow & the State Secrets Privilege

Richard Barlow, an intelligence analyst and a former senior member of the Counter-Proliferation unit at the CIA lost his job when he objected internally to the George H.W. Bush administration’s misleading Congress over Pakistan’s nuclear program. Following Congress-ordered investigations, the inspector-general at the State Department and the CIA concluded that Barlow had been fired as a reprisal. Further, a final investigation by Congress’ own Government Accountability Office completed in 1997 largely vindicated Barlow. The Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees concluded that Barlow was due Congressional relief in light of unjustified DOD actions against him and cover-ups with Congress. A relief bill was introduced, but the Senate Judiciary Committee referred the bill to the Court of Federal Claims for more “fact finding” in what is known as a Congressional Reference, in which the Congress still remains the deciding body. For more detailed background and related official documents on Barlow see here.

On February 10, 2000, in the Barlow case before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the CIA signed a declaration and a formal claim of SSP. Separately, in another declaration, Michael Hayden, director of NSA, also formally invoked SSP. The decision by the court to accept the government’s broad invocation of SSP prevented Barlow from obtaining needed facts and evidences. With the court proceedings closed to the public, without the ability to present numerous official reports and evidence due to the court’s acceptance of the blanket SSP, Barlow’s case lost in 2002. For more legal background and facts on the court case, see the memo by Louis Fisher of the Congressional Research Service.

On ‘executive criminality & cover up’:

Top U.S. officials were allowing Pakistan to manufacture and possess nuclear weapons, and the A.Q. Khan nuclear network was violating U.S. laws. Not only that -- the same officials were also lying to Congress. They were hiding these activities because the truth would have legally obligated the U.S. government to cut off its overt military aid to Pakistan.

On partisan focus & excluding other administrations’ abuses:

Barlow’s SSP case involved four administrations: Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush.

The case involved both parties; Democrats & Republicans.

On Congress’ bigoted view of public sympathy:

The invocation of SSP in Barlow’s case can not be easily written off as extreme measures for extreme situations under the ‘war on terror.’

Mr. Barlow was and is an exemplary U.S. citizen, was awarded the CIA’s Exceptional Accomplishment Award in 1988, and was considered a patriot for serving America’s interests by Congress and even by the executive branch who went after him.

When I contacted Mr. Barlow and asked for his view on the troubling trend by the media and Congress in packaging SSP related information to mislead the public and destroy any chance of reform, this is what he had to say: “Long before the Congress even begins to address issues relating to the use of SSP in court cases involving private charities, foreigners, suspected terrorists, or any private parties, it clearly needs to first address the use of SSP by the Executive Branch to conceal crimes, abuses, or fraud by the Executive Branch against the Congress itself or against federal intelligence officers or other federal employees [who] are the victims, and especially when it involves issues [of] Congress being lied to or willfully misled regarding intelligence information.”

He then added, “The media must go further than merely reporting the actions and inactions of Congress and the courts: we need investigative reporting on why the Congress has failed to address cover-ups of illegal activity by the executive branch and what members of Congress are responsible for this abdication of constitutional responsibility, particularly if Obama continues to break his campaign promises on SSP and follow in the footsteps of Bush on this and other national security matters.”

Sibel Edmonds & the State Secrets Privilege

I am not going to revisit the many times repeated details of the SSP invocation in my case. The legal outline of SSP abuse by the Bush administration invoked to cover up ‘criminal’ activities and subsequent cover up of these criminal activities can be found on the ACLU site.

According to Ann Beeson, former legal director at the ACLU, “The state secrets privilege should be used as a shield for sensitive evidence, not a sword the government can use at will to cut off argument in a case before the evidence can be presented. We are urging the Supreme Court, which has not directly addressed this issue in 50 years, to rein in the government’s misuse of this privilege.”

In my case the government also used the privilege to exclude members of the press from covering the court proceedings: “The ACLU is also asking the Supreme Court to reverse the D.C. appeals court’s decision to exclude the press and public from the court hearing of Edmonds’ case in April. The appeals court closed the hearing at the eleventh hour without any specific findings that secrecy was necessary.”

How does this case fit the Congress’ criteria to exclude?

On executive criminality & covering it up by invocation of SSP & abuses of classification:

In addition to the Dickerson Case, which was characterized by Senator Grassley as “a very major internal security breach, and a potential espionage breach,” and later confirmed by the DOJ-IG (investigation [PDF]), my case also involves espionage activities by several high-level U.S. officials, both elected and appointed. Several elected officials, an official at the State Department, and a few high-level officials in the Pentagon were involved in passing highly classified information to foreign entities connected to Turkey, Pakistan and Israel. Along with the confirmed Dickerson case involving Lt. Colonel Douglas Dickerson -- who worked for Douglas Feith and Marc Grossman -- other connected officials’ espionage activities were also covered up by invoking SSP.

On partisan focus & excluding other administrations’ abuses:

• The information involved in my case covered the time period 1996-2002. It involved two administrations and two political parties.
  
  
• Similarly, information implicating several elected officials in major corruption cases also involved both parties.

On Congress’ bigoted view of public sympathy

• My case does not fit the ‘War on Terror’ excuse.

• The case didn’t involve a ‘mistaken’ suspect terrorist or suspect organization.
  
  
• I, as the plaintiff, was and am a United States Citizen, thus my constitutional rights were directly violated by invocation of SSP.

I believe providing background on and an overview of these two relevant and major SSP cases will suffice to establish the reasons behind the intentional sanitization of SSP media coverage and other reports -- so far successfully achieved by the executive branch and the Congress.

The recent ‘supposed’ leak of a report by the Congressional Research Service on SSP under the title of “The State Secrets Privilege and Other Limits on Litigation Involving Classified Information” is a very appropriate example: “The Congressional Research Service has prepared a new account of the state secrets privilege, which is used by the government to bar disclosure of certain national security information in the course of civil litigation. While the CRS report contains nothing new, it is a detailed, dispassionate and fairly comprehensive account of the subject. A copy was obtained by Secrecy News.”

Assuming that this report in fact was leaked (my congressional sources claim otherwise, but I couldn’t substantiate it definitively.), I invite the readers to review the ‘analyzed’ and ‘cited’ cases. Please carefully review the citations, and take note of the cases taken into examination, especially those since 2000. Here is the list:

Al-Haramain Islamic Fund v. Bush, El-Masri v. US, Mohamed v. Jeppesen Dataplan

Not surprisingly, the ‘leaked’ report intended for Congress based on the ‘latest’ anti State Secrets Privilege movement’s pressure on Congress to act, meets the ‘qualification’ criteria.

I contacted Mark Zaid, a Washington attorney who has represented many plaintiffs in SSP cases, including me, and this is what he had to say, “The abuse of the privilege extends beyond protecting Bush administration policies; it is often focused on covering up institutional misconduct and embarrassment that transcend political lines.”

Regarding the latest media coverage, mainstream and alternative, and their either naïve or agenda-driven case selections, Mr. Zaid states, “This provides an incomplete portrait of the dangers of the invocation of the privilege and in some ways fosters further abuse.”

Based on the ‘sanitization’ criteria as explained by the quoted congressional staff member, it is obvious why the major SSP cases provided above ‘could not’ be included in any potential/future congressional discussions and or hearings. These cases cannot be quickly written off under the excuses of ‘war on terror’ or ‘bureaucratic bungling.’ The inclusion of them would make it difficult, if not impossible, for Congress to shrug off SSP and let its abuses continue. The coverage of these cases would likely garner outrage by the public majority regardless of political partisanship.

What is not obvious is how the press, both mainstream and alternative, has come to implement these shrewd political objectives, serving both the Congress and the executive branch. As for the mainstream media, it doesn’t come unexpected. We have gotten used to it, whether from their record and coverage in leading us to war in Iraq, or the latest revelations of their inner workings when it came to the NSA warrantless wiretapping of Americans.

However, I am not ready to attach the same cynical but realistic agenda to the alternative press. The reasons may be as simple as pure ignorance, naivety, myopic partisanship, or simply stupidity. Whatever the reasons, the likely consequences of them playing into the hands of the political establishment and their agenda is to help us lose the battle against SSP when we seem to finally have momentum and a strong movement to address this draconian abuse once and for all through sound legislation with teeth.

Obongo's lies, speeches and soft power, limited audience and limited impact to sway the skeptical

Obongo's lies, speeches and soft power, limited audience and limited impact to sway the skeptical....

Obama’s address at the Cairo University on June 4,2009, which was billed in advance by his staff as a historic message of goodwill and reconciliation to the Islamic world, had a limited audience. Though projected as an address to the Islamic world, it was largely an address to the Arab world and focused largely on issues of interest to the Arabs.

2. The Arabs constitute a minority in the Islamic world. Non-Arab Muslims living in countries such as India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia constitute the majority. The issues, which agitate them, are different from the issues which agitate the Arab world. Osama bin Laden understands this better than Obama and his advisers. That was why in his audio message released through Al Jazeera a day before Obama’s Cairo address, bin Laden focused on issues of immediate concern to the non-Arab Muslims in the Af-Pak region such as the large-scale displacement of Pashtuns from the tribal areas of Pakistan. By focusing on their plight and by holding the Americans responsible for it, he sought to make it certain that the anti-American anger in the Af-Pak region will increase rather than decrease.


3. Outside India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia, the attitude of the Muslims towards the US is characterized by feelings of hostility or anger or skepticism. There is hardly any feeling of empathy or warmth. There are various reasons for the negative feelings towards the US. Some are country-specific, some are region specific and some are ethnicity specific. The negative feelings of the Arabs towards the US may be due to the Palestine issue and the perceived US support for Israel, but Palestine and Israel are not such burning issues in the non-Arab Islamic world.


4.Obama’s address seemed to have been constructed around the belief that the Muslims constitute a monolithic community and that their actions are motivated by certain issues of common concern to all the Muslims of the world. This is a wrong belief. The Muslims are not a monolithic community and there is no common thread uniting the anger motivating the Muslims in different countries and different regions. There are Muslims and Muslims and issues and issues.


5. If Obama wanted to address the Muslims of the world, Cairo was the wrong place from which to seek to do so. There was a time when Egypt was seen as the beacon of the Arab world. It is no longer so. Al Qaeda and pro-Al Qaeda organizations project Egypt and its leaders as apostate. President Hosni Mubarak is a very unpopular Arab leader .Obama going to Cairo to deliver the address is seen by large sections of pro-Al Qaeda and pro-Taliban leaders as a leader of the American infidels traveling to the country of apostates to deliver an address to the Muslims from a platform provided by the apostates.


6. There are two ways of judging the impact----- what has been and what will be the impact on those Muslims, who have taken to terrorism against the US and other countries of the world and what will be the impact on ordinary Muslims, who stay away from the so-called global jihad, but at the same time do not nurse any feelings of empathy for the US?


7. The impact on the world of global jihad will be very little. Their views towards the US have been formed as a result of years of brainwashing in extremist mosques and madrasas. They are not going to change as a result of a beautifully-drafted speech beautifully delivered before an audience carefully assembled by the so-called apostates. They will continue to fight against the US, which will have to defeat them in the battle-field. bin Laden’s projection of the US President as Bush in Obama’s clothing will make a greater impact on the minds of the jihadis than the words and phrases of Obama.


8. The jihadi behaviour till now was influenced by the visuals, which came out of Iraq and Afghanistan. As the impact of those visuals decreases, Al Qaeda and pro-Al Qaeda organizations are trying to exploit the visuals of the plight of nearly three million internally displaced Pashtuns, driven out of their homes by a Pakistani war ordered by the US as bin Laden projected it in his message.


9. The impact on the ordinary Muslims outside pockets of urban elite will not be significant. Ordinary Muslims are not so naïve as to be impressed by a couple of quotations from the Holy Koran. Muslims outside India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia are not enamoured of democracy. They have nothing against authoritarian rulers, provided they care for the ordinary Muslims. Mubarak is not an example of a caring ruler. Among Muslim rulers blessed and supported by the US, there is hardly anyone whom one can call caring for the common Muslims. The ordinary Muslims will judge the US by the company it keeps in the Islamic world than by the speeches of Obama.


10. Obama’s speech may help him back home by pushing up his popularity. Americans love such orations. It may not help the US much in the Islamic world. The use of soft power to counter pernicious ideologies coming out of the Islamic world is important. They have to be countered in a more subtle and sophisticated manner through personal interactions, dialogue in small groups, radio and TV programmes, Internet chats etc. A Cairo-style address is not suited for this purpose.


11. A mix of Wahabism and Deobandism of the Pakistani brand is the driving force of the global jihad and of the hostility towards the US. Deoband is in India. The Indian brand of Deobandism was benign and continues to be benign The Pakistani brand is venomous and behind much of the negative ideas influencing the attitudes and conduct of millions of Muslims. Unless the pernicious Wahabi-Deobandi ideas emanating from Pakistan are countered in an intelligent manner, the divide between the Muslims and the non-Muslims will continue to widen. How to do so? That is the question that should occupy the minds of US policy-makers.

9/11 core of corruption continues under OBUSHMA

9/11 rogue U.S.-Israeli Mossad BLACK OP attacks on New York City

UNITED STATES of America - It can now be reported that the Obushma Administration is in disarray and has descended into lawless with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in total rebellion and operating without oversight.

Obama's White House Chief of Staff and Israeli Mossad agent Rahm Emanuel AP (L),

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder

On Wednesday, May 13, 2009, the former head of the North American Israeli Mossad, Rahm Emanuel, barged into the office of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and demanded that U. S. Attorney General Holder have the Obama Justice Department grant former Federal Reserve Bank of New York Chairman Stephen Friedman immunity from prosecution in regards to Friedman's role with former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and noted convicted Ponzi Scheme artist, Bernard Madoff, in the looting of the U.S. Treasury and the transfer of TRILLIONS of dollars to Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate offshore secret CIA proprietary accounts in Pakistan.

This was Emanuel's spitting in the face of the Joints Chief of Staff who have warned him on many occasions that if he crossed the line one more time there would be severe consequences.

Question: Does Emanuel now face severe consequences from the U.S. Military?

HIGH Treason TRAITORS
Stephen Friedman, Alan Greenspan, Bernard Madoff

Note: Israel was used as the middleman in the transfer of funds.

All of this dovetails to a new escalating investigation of former BushFRAUD White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove's firing of U.S. Attorneys with a specific emphasis on the U.S. Attorney case involving the frame up of former Democratic Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.

Siegelman, a former FBI informant and Bush-Clinton-Mena, Arkansas-Iran/Contra whistleblower, had also uncovered evidence that the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate laundered proceeds from the old Iran-Contra money laundry through a medical supply and rehabilitative health company called HealthSouth with evidence linking Stephen Friedman's Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Bernard Madoff Ponzi Scheme, the General Electric Corporation and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

The proceeds from this money laundry were then used, not only to transfer funds to secret offshore CIA proprietary accounts, but to BRIBE both Republican and Democratic elected officials in the state of Illinois with massive General Electric Medical Systems campaign contributions that would effectively prevent cheaper prescription Canadian drugs from reaching the United States and, accordingly, competing with the General Electric-HealthSouth medical supply Ponzi Scheme.

TRAITOR

Reference: U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Patrick Fitzgerald, has ignored two (2) criminal referrals naming none other than current White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and former BushFRAUD White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove as persons of interest. [Traitor Fitzergald is in frequent communication with Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate partner daddy Bush].

Fitzgerald, rather than pursue the truth, is trying to use former Democratic Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich as a patsy and a firewall as to divert away from the REAL criminal activity of both Rahm Emanuel and Karl Rove.

Item: A new impaneled Federal Grand Jury in Washington D.C. is not only looking now at the activities of both Emanuel and Rove but also U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as well as BushFRAUD appointed Alabama Judge Mark Fuller, who took a $300,000 BRIBE from HealthSouth as to arrange a frame up trial against the former Democratic Governor of Alabama, Don Siegelman.

How dare you, you conspiratorial tyrants
and kings and notable queens!

Note: Listen to this, folks. Guess who showed up on MSNBC's Chrissy Pooh Matthews aka Tweety Bird's political gossip talk show aka Hardball on Friday afternoon to try to poo-poo the escalating investigation of Karl Rove.

Well, it was none other than alleged Chicago Tribune journalist, British Intelligence asset and homosexual in-the-closet James Warren.

Message to Chrissy Pooh: This is your last warning. Quit enabling obstruction of justice in your attempt to protect the Bush-Clinton Family Syndicate gang from being prosecuted by putting on these extortion-friendly, blackmailer-types, media whores like James Warren, who should all be taken to Guantanamo Bay.

P.S. As much as torture-gate, like Ms. California's opposition to homosexuals, is a diversion by the controlled media from dealing with the REAL stories like the illegal PRE 9/11 domestic spying against the American People as well as the looting of the U.S. Treasury by the conspiratorial Federal Reserve, today let us bring you some real TRUTH about the BushFRAUD Administration's torture of alleged terrorists.

Reference: It is important to remember that it was our great ally of 200 years, the Republic of France, and its Intelligence services, that intercepted an Israeli-British cable that had originated in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), that contained the 9/11 command and control attack order:

"The time is now, the match is hot."

This PRE 9/11 warning was passed on to the BushFRAUD State Department aka Condoleezza Rice as well as the FBI; it was utterly ignored by the BushFRAUD Administration.

Now let's really connect the dots here, folks.

This Israeli-British cable intercepted by the French, and now classified in Great Britain under the British Secrets Act, is titled "WD 199".

The cable, which also reached alleged Al Qaeda cells inside the United States, gave various alleged terrorists aka Pakistani Intelligence officers a heads up on what was about to occur.
Note: As we have described in previous intelligence briefings, all of the alleged Al Qaeda cells on American soil have been infiltrated PRE 9/11 by the Israeli Mossad with its headquarters at the noted New Jersey-based Urban Moving Systems.

As previously reported, the BushFRAUD Administration ignored the PRE 9/11 warnings that were given to them by their own FBI and French Intelligence.

In fact the FBI field office in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the late FBI New York Special Agent in Charge, John P. O'Neill, had already identified the Al Qaeda cells in Minneapolis that got a PRE 9/11 heads up as early as July of 2001.

Note: The late FBI field agent John P. O'Neill died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, a victim of the rogue U.S.-Israeli Mossad attack on New York City and the United States of America.

This included alleged 9/11 mastermind aka U.S.-CIA-Pakistani Intelligence officer Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

U.S. employees
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Tim Osman aka Osama bin Laden

Mohammed, like Osama bin Laden aka CIA Tim Osman, were U.S. government employees at the time, reference their role with the Mujahadeen in the 1980s, in their war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.

Most of the evidence that FBI investigator John P. O'Neill and the Minnesota FBI office had gathered against the alleged Al Qaeda cells and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed dealt with only with PRE 9/11 knowledge of an alleged "big show" that was about to take place.

There was no evidence linking them to the operational planning of what we now know was a rogue U.S. government BLACK OP aka inside job that was the 9/11 attack itself.

Reference: It was only after the 9/11 attack itself that the alleged members of these Al Qaeda cells, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, were arrested and taken to Guantanamo Bay and named "enemy combatants".

Of course, you see now, folks, these guys were not military combatants, they were nothing more than "gossip merchants".

Accordingly, rather than deal with the Israeli role in the infiltration of these cells and the use of these alleged Al Qaeda as patsies by the REAL 9/11 plotters, they were then tortured and waterboarded into making false confessions regarding their roles in 9/11.

U.S.-Canadian Red/Blue War Games, which took place on 9/11, were used as a disguise to shut down the U.S. defense shield NORAD to allow the BLACK OP attacks on New York City and the Pentagon

The torture, of course, was ordered by Vice pResident Dick Cheney who, himself, was in charge of the Red-Blue U.S.-Canadian 9/11 war games that were used as a disguise to shut down the U.S. NORAD Air Force defense shield that allowed the 9/11 BLACK OP attack to take place and succeed.

The question is out there, folks.

If you are going to try to put on trial or detain or even torture alleged Al Qaeda aka patsies for knowing in advance about 9/11, then isn't it time for the U.S. Marshal Service to arrest Cheney, BushFRAUD, Condoleezza Rice and neo Nazi Michael Hayden and all of their conspirators for knowing in advance of 9/11 and doing nothing!

A personal note: I would keep Guantanamo Bay open for these folks and, along with former Vice President now year 2000 non-inaugurated, duly elected natural born President Albert Gore Jr., ourselves administer the waterboarding on TRAITORS BushFRAUD, Cheney, Rice, Hayden and its corporate media fascist enablers like James Warren.

P.P.S. Congratulations to year 2000 duly elected natural born President Albert Gore Jr. for touching on these subjects to some degree in his remarks about misfit draft dodger and 9/11 co-conspirator, former Vice pResident Dick Cheney.

Albert Gore touched on the alleged torturing of individuals that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Let us connect the dots, folks.

Gore is referring to the torture of alleged Iraqi Intelligence Officers.

Gore's remarks connect the dots concerning the "Big Lie" that former Vice pResident Dick Cheney circulated concerning alleged representatives of Saddam Hussein aka Iraqi Intelligence Officers that took place in Prague, Czechoslovakia well before 9/11 with members of alleged Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden aka CIA's Tim Osman.

We now know folks the meeting never took place in Prague and that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11, at all!

What happened, folks, is that these alleged Iraqi Intelligence Officers were taken to Guantanamo Bay after 9/11 and were tortured and waterboarded in an attempt to procure false confessions concerning a meeting that we now know never happened.

As you know, folks, as time went by the BushFRAUD Administration continued its crime spree (which started with the THEFT of the year 2000 presidential election), and continued their lies, with gross misrepresentation of alleged WMDs in Iraq, and the biggest lie of them all, that Saddam Hussein was working on a nuclear weapon vis a vis a forged British Intelligence document out of Niger that claimed Saddam had procured "yellow cake" for the purpose of making a nuclear bomb.

BushFRAUD went on to the United Nations to continue to promote the big lie aka his mushroom cloud speech.

Note: It was the head of French Intelligence that warned both BushFRAUD and Condoleezza Rice the yellow cake document was a British Intelligence forgery and was not solid evidence concerning the prospect of Iraq developing a nuclear bomb.

Of course, BushFRAUD, who then ignored another French Intelligence warning, proceeded to go to the UN to promote his "big lie", invited his 9/11 co-conspirator Dunblaine pedophile and soon to be fellow Iraq War criminal, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, to the White House to plot the TREASONOUS illegal war in Iraq, which has killed thousands of American soldiers, thousands of innocent Iraqis, empowered Iran and cost the U.S. Treasury and its Taxpayers 9.7 TRILLION dollars.

Note: BushFRAUD then proceeded to mount a personal vendetta against America's greatest ally, the Republic of France, whose only actions were an attempt to stop 9/11, save American lives and stop BushFRAUD from murdering innocent American soldiers and innocent Iraqi civilians in his criminal and TREASONUS war aka British Petroleum oil grab in Iraq.

How dare you, you conspiratorial tyrants
and kings and notable queens!

Item: It was former Vice President, now year 2000 duly elected natural born President Albert Gore Jr., who was one of few notable Democrats that opposed the Iraq War from the beginning and knew what HIGH Treason and criminal activity Bush and Cheney had embarked on.

It is interesting, folks, that every time our duly elected President Gore gives a speech CNN puts election-stealing, illegal Iraq War enabler, BushFRAUD stooge, 5th degree witch and James Carville's wife, Mary Matalin, immediately on CNN to personally attack former Vice President Gore.

Message to Matalin's husband, James Carville: It is in your best interest to keep your 5th degree witch wife locked in your house given her criminal and TREASONOUS activity against the American Republic. She needs to be taken immediately to Guantanamo Bay, duct taped and handcuffed.

Rumor has it that Tipper Gore would like to spend five minutes along with the sociopath witch Matalin. At that point, Matalin's career as an anti-Al Gore commentator would come to an end.

P.P.P.S. At this hour a full scale feminazi tribalist war has broken out between Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Congresswoman from California and Israeli Mossad agent Jane Harman.

Both are leaking on each other and trying to destroy each other's career.

Jane Harman (top), Jonah Goldberg (L), Matt Drudge (R)

The attacks on Pelosi are being orchestrated by Harman's Israeli Mossad 'handlers' and noted right wing free lance journalist, Kenneth Starr-Monica Lewinsky enabler of the 1990s, Jonah Goldberg, and internet mogul, Israeli Mossad asset and 1990s Kenneth Starr, anti-Al Gore stooge, Matt Drudge aka Drecht.

Note: Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate enabler, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, now wants to investigate Pelosi but not Israeli Mossad agent Jane Harman.

Newt Gingrich and 3rd wife Callista

Gingrich, an archenemy of duly elected President Albert Gore, also participated with Kenneth Starr in covering up the Bush-Clinton-Mossad "TRUE COLORS" assassination teams during the 1990s.

Gingrich belongs in a federal prison for Obstruction of Justice and Misprision of Felonies based on his illegal activities in the 1990s.

Reference: It is also important to recall that Gingrich married Jackie his high school math teach 7 years his senior; he then engaged in an extra-marital affair and later requested a separation while she was recovering from sugery for cancer; during the Israeli Mossad agent Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton period, on Mother's Day, Gingrich asked for a divorce from his 2nd wife just after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis to marry his long time adulterous lover Callista, a one-time Congressional aide 23 years his junior and known hooker from Madam Palfey's Washington D.C. escort service.

Drecht who, along with Clinton Administration era Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, had run the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate's Monica Lewinsky diversion, is an archenemy of duly elected President Albert Gore Jr. and actually a personal friend of loser and lesbian in-the-closet U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodenhurst Clinton.

Drudge aka Drecht, currently is not seen in public but talks to Jonah Goldberg on a daily basis, also travels on a monthly basis to Tel Aviv, Israel to receive treatment for the HIV virus, which Drudge received aka got infected from his lifelong Japanese lover.

We can now report that Drudge aka Drecht is dying of full blown AIDS.

Final note: As we close this intelligence briefing, the corporate fascist, extortion-friendly media elite filth continue to cover up the criminal activities of this Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate cabal that has destroyed the United States of America.

Example: David Gregory, host of NBC Meet the Press, who makes $5 million a year and enjoys reporting on female horses, gay marriage, abortions and trivial gossip type news, wants to have us all "move on" and not deal with the crimes and HIGH TREASON perpetrated against the American People by the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate.

My opinion, folks, is if this media filth does not want to report REAL news, then let them take a pay cut and spend their time at horse racing barns deciding which horse they like best the male or female horse.

Given what we know about this media filth they probably would like both horses and invite them to one of their tribalistic toga parties in Washington, D.C.

Stay tuned for our future intelligence briefing, which will include foreign born alleged President Obama's latest attempt to appoint Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate bagman, Utah Mormon Governor Jon Huntsman, as the U.S. envoy to China.

Mormon Mitt Romney and Republican Utah Governor Jon Huntsman

Huntsman is personal friends of derivative Ponzi Scheme expert, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and former Citibank CEO Robert Rubin, and has major ties to former Republican Presidential candidate and member of the Church of Satanic Latter Day Saints, Mitt Romney, with connections to offshore hedge funds and the noted daddy Bush CIA bank, the Key Bank of Utah.

Message to foreign born alleged President Obama: A lot of Democrats and Patriotic American citizens patience with you is running out.

Your support is collapsing among your own Democratic Party base.

We know, as well as you do, President Obama, that the polls showing you with massive approval from the American People are bought and paid for by the same criminal Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate-Federal Reserve Banks that you are supporting, financing and enabling on a weekly basis at the expense of the American People's U.S. Treasury.

The presence of "Skull and Bonesman" Greg Craig, Israeli Mossad agent Rahm Emanuel and Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate's queen, loser and lesbian in-the-closet Hillary Rodenhurst Clinton in your cabinet should have told us months ago what your "true colors" really are Barack Obama.

DEFENDERS OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION

We announce to the criminal government and its criminal corporate media enablers: YOU ARE TOO CORRUPT TO CONTINUE!

the Chief culprit is Asef SHAWKAT for the execution of the massacre since January 24th 2002 and the Hit on Mr. Elie HOBEIKA, same tactics, & signature

New evidence that Hariri assassination was ordered in Washington and Jerusalem and the Chief culprit is Asef SHAWKAT for the execution of the assassinations since January 24th 2002 and the Hit on Mr. Elie HOBEIKA, same tactics, same signature...on behalf of the infamous White House Murder INC,... Syrian Military Intelligence always acts as a cut-out for the CIA.... remember Lockerbie...and PANAM 103....?

On April 29, 2009, UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon pre-trial Judge Daniel Fransen ordered the release from prison of four Lebanese generals who had been implicated in the 2005 car bombing assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The special tribunal convened on March 1 of this year and the UN took over the case against the four generals from the Lebanese government.

The four generals, who are considered pro-Syrian, were thought by the initial UN investigators and the Lebanese government to have been involved in a conspiracy hatched by Damascus to kill Hariri. However, as WMR previously reported, the evidence against Syria in the assassinations of Hariri and other leading Lebanese politicians was always flimsy. In fact, the assassinations of Lebanese leaders was cooked up by the Bush administration neo-conservatives and their allies in Jerusalem to force the withdrawal of Syrian forces from Lebanon.

In 2005, under pressure from the Bush administration, a UN investigative committee charged that Syrian and Lebanese intelligence were behind Hariri's assassination. Prior to the release of the four generals, Mohammad Zuhair al-Siddiq, a former Syrian intelligence officer, was arrested in the United Arab Emirates as a suspect in Hariri's assassination.

The four Lebanese generals released were Jamil Sayyad, the chief of Lebanese General Security under the Syrian occupation; Ali al-Hajj, the former chief of the Internal Security Forces; Raymond Azar, the former head of Lebanese Army intelligence; and Mustafa Hamdan, the chief of the Presidential Guard under then-President Emile Lahoud. They were held for four years in prison without charges being brought or even being questioned by prosecutors.

Chief UN prosecutor Daniel Bellemare asked Fransen to drop the case against the "four generals" because a key witness against them retracted his testimony, causing the case to collapse.

Lebanon's Hezbollah welcomed the release of the four generals.

In December 2008, the UN Special Tribunal in a report to the UN Security Council, stated: "Those responsible for the attacks were professional and took extensive measures to cover their tracks and hide their identity. Much of the Commission's activity at this point . . . focuses on piercing this smokescreen to get at the truth."

On October 24, 2006, WMR reported: "A senior French DGSE -- Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure-- intelligence officer has told WMR that Lebanon's ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was killed in a car bombing arranged by Israel's Mossad. The revelation from French intelligence is significant as the French government of Jacques Chirac joined the Bush administration and the neo-con policy establishments in Washington and Israel in blaming Syria for the attack. According to the DGSE officer, Israel and its American backers wanted to blame Syria for the assassination of the popular Lebanese leader in order to blame Syria for the attack thus forcing the popular Lebanese revolt that saw the withdrawal of Syrian forces. That left Lebanon defenseless for the 'Clean Break' attack launched by Israel, with US support, against Hezbollah and Lebanon's infrastructure. WMR was one of the first to report Israeli and American involvement in the assassination of Hariri, as well as those of Elie Hobeika, George Hawi, and other Lebanese politicians."

On March 28, 2008, WMR reported: "A UN panel headed by former Canadian prosecutor Daniel Bellemare has concluded that former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was assassinated by a 'criminal networK' and not by either Syrian and Lebanese intelligence or Lebanese Hezbollah as proffered by the neocon propaganda mill operating out of Washington, DC and Jerusalem. The UN panel said that a 'Hariri Network' had the ex-Prime Minister under surveillance before the Beirut massive car bombing that killed Hariri and 22 other people in November 2005. WMR previously reported that the 'criminal network' was composed of Lebanese and rogue Syrian intelligence agents connected to Israel's Mossad and a White House operation run by National Security Council senior staff member Elliott Abrams, the formerly convicted Iran-contra figure."

It is not yet known whether al-Siddiq, the former Syrian intelligence agent arrested in the UAE, is thought to be a member of the criminal network, described by the UN, that killed Hariri.

On March 28, 2008, WMR also stated: "Although for political reasons the UN refrained from identifying the members of the 'criminal element,' WMR has reported it included rogue Syrians, Druze, and Palestinian intelligence operatives in Lebanon, as well as mercenaries linked to now jailed international arms smuggler Viktor Bout and members of the Russian-Israeli 'organizatsiya' criminal syndicate. WMR was criticized by the neocon press when it first reported on the actual elements behind Hariri's assassination and charges of 'anti-Semitism' were the rule rather than the exception."

On November 1, 2005, WMR reported: "WMR has obtained the Confidential version of the Mehlis Report on the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Mehlis is the Senior Public Prosecutor in the Attorney General's Office in Berlin. He was named Commissioner of the UN International Independent Investigation Commission into the Hariri assassination. Mehlis is a darling of neocons who served in the Reagan administration. It was his investigation of the 1982 La Belle Discotheque bombing in West Berlin that was used as justification by Reagan to launch a 1986 bombing attack on Libya. Mehlis concluded that Libya was behind the attack conveniently at the same time that pro-Israelis in the Reagan administration, including Richard Perle, Michael Ledeen, Paul Wolfowitz, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Scooter Libby, and others were calling for an attack on Muammar Qaddafi. The Mehlis Report, dated October 19, 2005, states the Commission 'focused on the crime scene, technical aspects of the crime, analysis of telephone intercepts, the testimony of more than 500 witnesses and sources, as well as the institutional context in which the crime took place.' The confidential copy indicates that certain information, all of which implicates Syria and pro-Syrian Lebanese officials, was added just before the report was issued."

The dropping of all charges against the four generals is yet additional proof that the Mehlis Report was a neocon fraud aimed at destabilizing Lebanon in 2005, forcing the withdrawal of the Syrians from the country, sending Syria a warning to close its border with Iraq to prevent fighters from entering Iraq to fight U.S. occupation troops, and leaving Lebanon wide open for a brutal Israeli attack in 2006. WMR's November 1, 2005 report concluded: "Given all the bogus intelligence emanating from the neo cons and their Israeli, British, Italian, and Iraqi allies prior to the invasion of Iraq, the 'intelligence' contained in the Mehlis Report, which may have been placed therein by unconfirmed US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton and his staff, makes the charges against Syria highly dubious."

The dropping of the charges against the four generals is seen as a boost the electoral chances for Hezbollah in June elections. Currently, Lebanon is governed by a pro-U.S. and anti-Syrian government led by Prime Minister Fouad Siniora. The nationalistic and anti-Israeli opposition primarily consists of the Shi'a-dominated Hezbollah and an influential Christian faction led by retired General Michel Aoun.

On April 1, 2005, the a U.S. State Department neocon propaganda unit, referring to this editor as a "self-described journalist," attacked the reports about Hariri being assassinated by U.S. and Israeli interests. The Obama administration continues to maintain the Bush-era State Department propaganda website that attacks journalists who cite American crimes and malfeasance in other countries.

Hariri targeted by US/Israeli circles beginning in 1996....

WMR has learned from knowledgeable Middle East intelligence sources that former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri earned the wrath of neocon circles in the United States and Israel as early as 1996. Eventually, after the 9/11 attacks when U.S. foreign policy was being dictated by neocon circles in Washington and Jerusalem, a false flag operation was launched that resulted in the 2005 car bombing assassination of Hariri in Beirut and subsequent blame being placed on Syria.

In April 1996, Israel launched a military blitz against targets in Lebanon's south and in Beirut in a military campaign known as Operation Grapes of Wrath. The operation coincided with a campaign to derail Middle East prospects by a group of American neocons that culminated in a policy paper titled, "A Clean Break: a New Strategy for Securing the Realm."

The blueprint called for an end to the Middle East peace strategy that began with Camp David and the Carter administration. It would serve as the underpinnings for the extreme foreign policy of incoming Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Behind the scenes, the "Clean Break" was also endorsed by leading neocons inside the Clinton administration, including a number of pro-Israeli foreign policy-makers destined for a possible future Hillary Clinton administration.

Grapes of Wrath ended with an agreement known as the "April Understanding," a tacit agreement on April 26, 1996, between Lebanese Hezbollah and Israel (with the support of France, Syria, and Lebanon) that both sides would refrain from attacking each other's civilian targets. One of the events that prompted the agreement was the Israeli attack on the UN compound at Qana in south Lebanon where 106 Lebanese women, elderly, and children refugees from the fighting were killed in an Israeli attack.

During this time, Hariri lobbied hard for Paris, other European Union capitals, and Washington to accept Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah as a negotiating partner and grant Hezbollah international recognition. Although the April Understanding represented a virtual agreement by Israel to respect cease fire on civilian targets with Nasrallah and Hezbollah, the agreement did not sit well with neocons and their allies in Israel (including then-Prime Minister Shimon Peres) and the United States. In fact, the Clinton administration began to undermine Hariri immediately.

Middle East intelligence sources have confirmed that not only was Hariri targeted by the neocons in retaliation for the lobbying for Nasrallah and brokering the April Understanding but that this revenge targeting was ultimately implemented in the car bombing of Hariri on February 14, 2005. In addition, the neocons, using Mossad agent-of-influence President Nicolas Sarkozy of France as their conduit, successfully achieved the punishment of former French President Jacques Chirac, a supporter of Hariri, and Chirac's then-presidential secretary, former Foreign Minister Dominique deVillepin. Both Chirac and deVillepin have been indicted as part of the neocons' and Mossad's revenge operations.

The ruse that there was some type of coordinated U.S. and Israeli attack, code-named Operation Orchard, on a suspected Syrian nuclear installation at Dayr az-Zwar was yet another neocon plot to discredit Syrian President Bashar Assad after attempts to link him with the car bombings of Hariri and several other Lebanese politicians fell under suspicion by several of the world's intelligence agencies. In the case of the attack on the so-called Syrian nuclear site, WMR's intelligence sources report at the most, the site was a missile construction center. Syria said it was a desertification research center. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) rejected suggestions that the site was a nuclear center.

CIA uses Islamists and backwards youth all over conflict zones

CIA uses Islamists and backwards youth all over conflict zones

Islamist Mehsud; working for the CIA?


There are very few Islamists in Pakistan!

In the 2008 general election in Pakistan, "the parties linked, or at least sympathetic, to the Taliban and 'al Qaeda' saw their share of the votes slashed to about 3%".

So, only 3% are wild Islamists.

(Islam at the Ballot Box - WSJ.com )

Remember that the CIA can offer no evidence that Osama is in Pakistan.

And, the UK government can offer no evidence in its latest 'Pakistani terrorist plot'.

Reportedly, in Pakistan, the Islamists are secretly backed by the CIA.

The CIA appears to be using its Islamist friends to break up Pakistan.

Rememeber that in 1978, President Carter's regime was training and building up the wild Islamists in Afghanistan.

The aim was to topple the government of Afghanistan, which was seen as being friendly with Russia.

Afghanistan's heroin was important to the USA. Afghan poppy production tripled between 1979 and 82; and there are now drug lords in the government of President Hamid Karzai. (Afghanistan: U.S. Escalates the Illegal Drug Industry)

Who will control the oil and heroin?

Ahmed Quraishi, on 9 April 2009, at http://www.ahmedquraishi.com/, tells us:

Cut CIA’s Footprint In Pakistan

Among the points made:

1. Many in Pakistan believe the terror in Pakistan is linked to the CIA.

2. In July 2008, Pakistan’s military gave CIA and U.S. commanders evidence showing that the US government was indirectly protecting anti-Pakistan terrorists.

3. The so called Islamist Abdullah Mehsud (who may be linked to the CIA) was used to attack Chinese interests in Pakistan.

Until now CIA drones have never targeted Abdullah or Baitullah Mehsud or any other militia that is committed to attacking Pakistan.

4. The Indian and Afghan intelligence services are aiding terrorism inside Pakistan.




5. In 2002, the US was allowed to set bases in Balochistan, in Pakistan.

The CIA was allowed to recruit Pakistanis in the tribal belt in Pakistan.

These two areas are now the most disturbed parts of Pakistan.

6. The US government is hoping to make it impossible for China 'to pursue trade and energy corridors through Pakistan'.



Simple minded patsies?


And what about Kasab and the Mumbai Attacks?

Is Kasab a poorly educated patsy?

In late 1998, black-clad ninjas murdered hundreds of innocent people in East Java, In Indonesia.
Some of the victims were mentally handicapped youths, easy targets.

(Murder in Java: Psychological warfare and the New York Times)

Bloody decapitated heads were paraded around the streets.

Reportedly, the killings were part of a psychological terror campaign ( like that waged in 1965 by the US-advised Indonesian Army, when at least 500,000 civilians were killed.)

In 1998, as in '65, there was the distribution of death lists to terrify the public, the arrival of assassins in trucks, mutilation of corpses and display of body parts in public places.

Some observers believed that a faction of the US-trained army was fomenting terror to justify a military crackdown.

Army members were arrested by local authorities for the killings, and then mysteriously released.

Pro-democracy activists in Jakarta pointed out that'Ninja' is the term popularly used to designate the Army Special Forces (Kopassus) in disguise.



Are the security services using mentally backward people for false flag operations?

1. Nicky Reilly, who was involved in the nail bomb explosions in Exeter, England, in May 2008, was under surveillance by the Security Services. ( Face of the 'nail bomber': Police were tailing Muslim convert ...) . Was he being used by them?

2. "GENTLE giant Nicky Reilly may have been 'brainwashed' into becoming a would-be suicide bomber... police say.

"The mentally ill 22-year-old was arrested on Thursday after a homemade nail bomb blew up in his face in a busy restaurant. ( Mentally ill man 'brainwashed' into suicide bomb bid, police say)

"Mr Reilly’s stepfather, Philip Dinner, is a convicted heroin dealer and his younger brother, Luke, 20, is serving a six-year prison sentence for kicking a man unconscious in a violent robbery." (Neighbours tell of Nicky Reilly’s troubled past )

"One neighbour, Daniel Turner, 20, said... 'He is mentally ill and probably has the mental age of a 10 year old'...

"The chairman of the local Islamic Centre, Syed Rahman, said Mr Reilly may have prayed at the mosque but denied any knowledge of him. 'Certainly no one who attends our mosque has anything to do with extremism,' he said. 'This guy may have come to us, but we do not know him and we do not recognise him.'" (Exeter bombing suspect was 'brainwashed', friends insist)



3. It has been alleged that the American trained Indonesian military used mentally backward youths in their terror plots.

In 1998, elements of the Indonesian military wanted to topple Indonesia's President Wahid.

Allegedly, in East Java, members of the military dressed up as Ninjas.

Allegedly the military then dumped mental patients in villages.

When the village vigilantes arrived, they thought the mentally backward youths were Ninjas and chopped their heads off.

Indonesia was destabilised.

There is a suspicion that the security services recruit their patsies from among the weakest members in society: people with mental problems, people who are petty criminals, people who can be easily brainwashed. (aangirfan: TERROR IN INDONESIA : THE CIA CONNECTION
http://www.fair.org/extra/9901/java.html )


4. The mentally disturbed Marinus Van der Lubbe was accused by the Nazis of causing the Reichstag Fire. Many believe that he was manipulated by the Gestapo.

Historians Bahar and Kugel used evidence from Gestapo archives to argue that the fire was almost certainly started by the Nazis. They say that a commando group of at least three, and at most ten SA men led by Hans Georg Gewehr set the fire using self-lighting incendiaries, and that Van der Lubbe was brought to the scene later.[13]

5. 'Retarded Prisoner Was Informant For London Terror Raid', according to the London Mirror, June 18 2006

(http://www.propagandamatrix.com/articles/june2006/180606Retarded.htm )

A MAN with an IQ of just 69 is believed to be the trigger behind the bungled terror raid in Forest Gate, East London.

Ex-waiter Mohammed Abu Bakr Mansha, 22, was a childhood pal of the innocent two brothers arrested in the dawn swoop by police two weeks ago.

In January he was jailed for six years for terror offences - and even described in court as an "utter incompetent". Soon afterwards, friends of brothers Abul Kahar, 23, and Abul Koyair, 20, visited him at top-security Belmarsh prison, in South-East London.

And, the Sunday Mirror has learned, that meeting sparked a surveillance operation on the men by the security services. According to a friend of the brothers, they laughed at constantly being followed. Our source said: "It was so obvious we treated it as a joke."

Then new information came through, said to include detailed drawings of a suicide vest.

That led to Operation Volga - the botched police operation to arrest the brothers, which led to Kahar being shot. After seven days in custody they were released without charge amid claims of incompetence and brutality.

Friends of the men believe dim Mansha was the trigger for the extraordinary operation.

Mansha's lawyer Sara O'Keefe revealed how her client was moved just before the raid from category 'A' Belmarsh to a softer category 'B' jail. She did not know why he got the favourable treatment, or whether he unwittingly helped MI5. Told that the brothers knew they were being followed she said: "That sounds about right."

Mansha - serving six years for possessing an old address of a British Army war hero, which police suspected was part of a terror plot - is appealing against his sentence. His trial revealed him to be educationally subnormal with an IQ of 69 - compared to the average of 100.

In the US that would make his court evidence unreliable.

If Mansha is confirmed as the trigger for the raid, it will be hugely humiliating for the security services in their battle against terror.

Police and intelligence officials claim the information was from a reliable single source who knew the brothers and whom the security services had dealt with before.

But our probe suggests that if Mansha was at the centre of the investigation, the intelligence is highly suspect and deeply embarrassing for MI5. Vajahat Sharif, lawyer for one brother, slammed the "scattergun" approach, saying it would lead to police targeting more innocent people. He said: "Where does this stop? What about Mansha's friends, family or neighbours? They know him, so presumably they're terrorists."

A friend of the brothers said they'd grown up with Mansha. He said: "We used to play in the street. Abu was strange. He'd suddenly lose it. Once while playing street football, he got upset as no one passed to him. He took out a gun and went pop, pop, pop."

He added: "Once I saw him pee in the eye of a man lying on the floor, for fun. I've seen him do all sorts, bad things, because he's a nutter - but he's no al-Qaeda bomber. He needs help, not banging up. A few guys visited him in jail. I didn't go as I didn't like him, but suddenly Kahar and Koyair were being followed. It was so obvious we all treated it like a joke. Maybe if I'd gone too they'd have raided my house and shot me. It's a f***ing outrage."

On June 2 at 4am 250 officers, including forensic and chemicals experts, waited at the terraced home of their parents Abul Kalam and Alif Jan. Bursting through a window, 50 cops met Kahar and Koyair on the stairs. Kahar was shot in the shoulder. They were held for seven days as police dug the garden and drilled holes into walls seeking a chemical device.

A week later police issued a grudging apology, outraging locals. The brothers are suing for distress, wrongful imprisonment and damage to their house. But a pal said: "They don't blame Abu, he's an old friend. But he's capable of saying and doing anything. If he did say anything it would be madness if the police took him seriously."

Simpson lawyer's letter to Greg Craig, White House Counsel, on Karl Rove matter

Karl ROVE should end up in jail, right next to BUSH, RUMSFELD, George TENET and Dick CHENEY...

On February 20, 2009, We reported on White House Counsel Greg Craig's conflict-of-interest in his relationship with Karl Rove in matters dealing with Craig's intervention with the House Judiciary Committee on Rove's testimony on matters dealing with the political prosecution of former Alabama Democratic Governor Don Siegelman.

The February 20, 2009, article stated: "We have now learned from extremely well-placed sources that Craig has major conflicts-of-interest in representing Barack Obama and the White House in the Rove matter. Bush's attorney in the executive privilege case involving not only Rove but former Bush White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten and former Bush White House Counsel Harriet Miers, is Emmet Flood, a partner with Craig's former law firm Williams & Connolly in Washington, DC. Moreover, Flood was special counsel to President Bush who ordered the Republican National Committee to withhold e-mails from the House Judiciary Committee on the U.S. Attorneys firings investigation."

The following is the letter sent by former Alabama GOP political adviser Dana Jill Simpson, whose testimony before the House Judiciary Committee about the role of Rove and other top Republicans in the prosecution of Siegelman resulted in the House Judiciary Committee's probe of Rove.

RE: Your position regarding advising the President on the pending testimony of Karl Rove

Dear Attorney Craig:

I represent Dana Jill Simpson, an attorney in Rainsville, Alabama, who testified before Congress in September 2007, regarding Karl Rove’s involvement in the U.S. Justice Department prosecution of Gov. Don Siegelman.

She is very concerned that you have violated the Rules of Professional Conduct 1.6 , 1.7 and 1.10, while citing 1.9 to decline representation. She is equally concerned about the person or persons to whom you have divulged her confidential information. Your recent efforts on the part of negotiating a settlement between Congress and Karl Rove have been noted, as well as your efforts to delay matters before the D.C. Court of Appeals, regarding Rove and other Bush administration officers claiming executive privilege.

For this reason, she is asking that you step down from your position as White House Counsel, at least in all matters dealing with the Bush administration. Further, she is asking that you furnish her with a list of each and every person with whom you have communicated regarding this matter; that is, Miss Simpson’s affidavit, testimony, knowledge, research and any other matters touching or information furnished by Miss Simpson.

In recapping the events linking you and Miss Simpson:

1.) Upon information and belief, Gov. Don Siegelman or his agent made the direct call to you at your law firm, Williams & Connolly, soliciting your pro bono representation of Ms. Simpson, with regard to her affidavit about Karl Rove’s involvement in Siegelman’s prosecution.

2.) According to Ms. Simpson, you called her up to four times on or about March 16-17, 2007, and you faxed her your resume.

3.) She initially asked, “Before we really start this, do you have any contacts with George Bush, Karl Rove, Don Siegelman or Bob Riley?”

4.) You indicated you did not and said, “Tell me who this is about.”

5.) Your initial conversation with Ms. Simpson lasted about 10 to 15 minutes.

6.) In three conversations of nearly two hours, you extracted particular details of her involvement, and you asked her specifically about the length of time and character of her contact with Karl Rove, the extent of her work with the GOP and her knowledge of U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller’s owner-interest in Doss Aviation, a major federal contractor, and matters dealing with lobbyist G. Stewart Hall’s then-Federalist Group and the steering of contracts to Fuller’s company and companies related to Gov. Bob Riley’s son, Rob Riley.

7.) After this extensive questioning, which included another session for the questions you had formulated, you announced that you couldn’t represent her because you had represented Sen. Richard Shelby during the 2004-2005 investigations of his alleged national security leaks.

8.) Ms. Simpson says that you related to her that Sen. Shelby had told you “ in confidence” that he “owned and controlled Doss Aviation out of the federal courthouse in Montgomery,” and that Doss Aviation’s, 1 Church Street, mail was delivered to Shelby’s Senate office, even before Fuller was appointed judge. You told her that you “didn’t really like” Shelby, that the Doss connection had not been discovered during the previous hearing, but that, “It will come up, if you really go into it.”

9.) You failed to mention to Miss Simpson, however, that you were a friend of Karl Rove, had shared drinks with Karl Rove, that your law firm, Williams & Connolly, was representing Vice President Cheney on Scooter Libby’s role in the Valerie Plame case in which Rove was involved; that your firm has advised the White House not to turn over GOP emails regarding the firing of nine U.S. Attorneys. Nor did you disclose your firm’s involvement in defending Iran-Contra figures, which you knew or should have known play a key role in the current military contracts routed to Doss Aviation.

Now, I understand your firm is handling Karl Rove’s book deal. Currently, your former close associate and mentor, Emmet Flood is representing former President Bush in executive privilege matters before the D.C. Court of Appeals with regard to political firings of U.S. Attorneys who failed to act on orders to prosecute Democrats prior to elections – matters in which you are directly involved in your role as President Obama’s White House Counsel.

You had a duty to disclose your relationship with Rove to Miss Simpson before she revealed the details of her involvement, because you knew from initial contacts that you had a conflict. You have a duty now to turn over any material relating to disclosure of that information as well as to allocate to whom you passed the knowledge. She also inquires whether you or anyone to you contacted is responsible for recommending legal services from Washington attorney David Laufman, also known as “Bush’s Cleaner,” or Montgomery Republican Tommy Gallion, who after months of intensive discussions with Ms. Simpson, indicated he was in regular contact with President Bush on her matter.

Ms. Simpson asks that you withdraw from any representation of the President on these matters due to your conflicts and those of Williams & Connolly in this area. If you respect the legal Code of Professional Conduct, you must take action to remedy the damage you have done to Ms. Simpson, Mr. Shelby and the legal profession.

We would appreciate an answer no later than three business days.

Sincerely,
Priscilla Black Duncan
Attorney for Jill Simpson
