The book is a damning indictment of the cowardice of men in leadership, as well a testament to the courage and sacrifice of those they presume to lead. For anyone who’d thought a nascent and growing extreme fundamentalism in the USA merely a threat, this book should make them think again and should rightfully frighten and galvanize to action anyone concerned a cult within our military can both: break the mentality of, and train a young officer for future assignment to launch nuclear weapons.

Where to begin? I could write essays on multiple subjects of peril this book has only scratched the surface of, yet that scratch bleeds profusely throughout its pages. It may seem odd to some that, for me, the most striking and empathetic passages of the book is a wife and mother with Multiple Sclerosis surrendering her dream of a life as uncomplicated as possible, as a matter of principle, giving up her pursuit of happiness and the American Dream to take on the malignant social cancer infesting and infecting what must ultimately be what our nation is judged by in the eyes of today’s world; The perception of American empire, the Armed Forces of the United States of America.

The human dimension is profound, the humiliation, the grief, the sacrifice and the fighting back against stacked odds at every turn for those ethical civilian and military warriors detailed in this book.

Where to begin? Striking is the thought, here is the true story’s protagonist with impeccable conservative credentials, Michael L. ‘Mikey’ Weinstein, breaking down every stereotype and smashing every barrier in a focused, concerted effort which, if successful, and there is no guarantee of success, should win the admiration of dyed in the wool liberals, feminists particularly, and people of every sane persuasion. Mikey has marched a long march to arrive on the cusp of achieving immortality in history.

This is no small achievement in it’s own right, that a man, Mikey Weinstein, would have come so far in his personal evolution as to overcome his history of working to keep Iran-Contra from spilling into the open under Reagan, to win my avowed admiration. But here again is a striking moment, it was my own experiences as a soldier had turned me against wars altogether, no different to Howard Zinn. Mikey fits the same mold, only we each have our separate timelines to fated evolution and goals.

Mikey’s goal is quite straight forward. To take the American military, the most lethal military in the world by far, out of the hands of and keep it out of the hands of, what can only be accurately described as Madmen. Any such endeavor is highly worthy of my liberal support.

Where to begin? Critically important, the book makes a case for young American service women and men dying in vain on account of the narcissism, and nothing more, of those General Officers and politicians trusted with our soldiers care at the highest levels of these United States of America’s institutions, whether at the level of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or sitting in either house of Congress.

This last will be the focus of my essay, I will leave the several other critically important subjects to the insights of other reviewers. I cannot speak to nukes as an expert, there are better qualified to speak to contemporary military/civilian life, but one thing I had dusted off and polished these past several years were my intelligence analysis skills. Here follows my analysis, in lockstep with the books conclusions, insofar as how deeply penetrated and compromised our military’s highest offices and ranking officer corps have become by dominionism and will yet cost us dearly in American lives and blood.

In my day, our Special Operations Forces had not yet become pervasively criminalized. We saw ourselves more along the lines of an elite Peace Corps working the most hazardous territories of a Cold War world. Critical to our mission was pacification of populace in the areas we worked, and pacification is and was a straightforward word. We worked to bring peace to neighborhoods in conflicts. John Wayne stereotype aside, the military aspects were honest endeavor to provide self-defense training to remote villages with an objective the populace could not be easily exploited by irregular militia, but that was never going to be accomplished in any case, except that we understood and respected and even integrated to the local customs and culture. That we had elite and lethal training was primarily survival oriented, yes there were the occasional ‘special operation’ to perhaps decapitate the leadership of a particular guerrilla group or undertake sabotage behind enemy lines in the course of our work, examples given, but this was the exception, not the rule. Primarily our superior skills were required to operate small teams in areas where we might meet with considerably stronger numerical force. The highly honed and elite skills of the 1960s and 1970s Green Berets teams were more often than not, more than equal to any larger irregular force. If vastly out numbered, we knew how to inflict savage and costly casualties on our pursuers in the course of evasion. In our pacification work, Action Anthropology was the norm of the day. We integrated to our human and social environment. We were armed educators, medical providers and social workers. We were not primarily meant to be offensive, to the contrary, restraint was a big piece of our discipline and training. Cowboy mentalities were not tolerated.

It is quite clear things have changed away from this focus, dramatically, for the military applications of special operations forces, in the approximately four decades since Vietnam.

In the span of a few hours or so in Iraq, one Special Forces team leader, inflamed by watching the ‘Passion of the Christ’, instigated an incident that effectively made a war zone of an entire neighborhood and radicalized several hundred, perhaps several thousand Muslims. This commissioned officer had used a bullhorn to have “Jesus kill Mohammed” blared into a Muslim neighborhood, and when the perfectly predictable reaction was everyone with a gun in that area of the city showing up to shoot at this moron, a weapon that could blow through the front and back wall of a house was turned on the neighborhood homes by the Special Forces team.

Many of those consequently radicalized Iraqis no doubt turned to local militia and offered their services to train to kill our regular American soldiers over this one of many [unpunished] incidents of Christian extremism provided elite training. Our ‘elite’ forces had just accomplished the absolutely criminal act of getting more Americans killed in future battles. This is the criminalization of our special operations forces by extremist Christian fundamentalist commanders. Who are those commanders? I will name two.

General William G. Boykin. A rabid fundamentalist Christian, his career in special operations is littered with tactical disasters, it would seem his only qualifications to have advanced throughout his career is his ‘belief in God.’ That and his belief in his special operations crusaders. With these mentalities at the top of command, what is promoted under you will be a solid corps of those with shared bigoted beliefs. General Boykin, since his retirement in 2007, had to be ‘dis-invited’ from speaking at West Point Academy on account of his virulent hatred of all things and people that are ‘not Christian or not Christian enough.’ Consider it is today’s special operations trained veterans who move into SWAT jobs in your local and state police force, are hired by Blackwater [then Xe Corp, now Academi, a lot of changed identities over a string of fundamentalism motivated crimes] and other de facto corporate militia, join the CIA and FBI or simply become mercenaries. These people with elite training and extreme belief will be getting many more Americans killed over a long haul ahead of us and not only in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Their numbers are only growing, thanks in large part to:

General Patraeus. It is common political knowledge in Washington DC, that President Obama had appointed General Patraeus to head the CIA as a means of sidelining the General’s political ambitions over serious concerns Patraeus would hook up with the likes of Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman in a run against Obama for the presidency in 2012. Either way you have it, a commander-in-chief, whether a military veteran or not, is a sword that can cut two ways. Obama’s naiveté in military affairs, having never served, is the 2nd worst possible circumstance in an America where naked fundamentalist ambition has overtaken the leadership of American military command structures, outside an out and out fundamentalist president. That Obama would, as a matter of political expediency, appoint Patraeus to head up the CIA with its out of control Operational Division working in close concert with the radicalized and criminalized Christian extremist special operations forces of today’s American military, is simply asking for disaster. General Patraeus was key [together with Robert Gates] in convincing Obama to radically beef up the USA’s special operations forces, at a time it was already decided the overall troop numbers would have to be reduced.

General Patraeus has had a close association with special operations forces throughout his career. Since Patraeus appointment to DCI [Director of Central Intelligence or CIA] Admiral William H McRaven, now overall boss of the special operations forces which these days are routinely assigned to CIA operational missions, has requested his forces be allowed to operate outside the traditional Department of Defense channels. This is, no doubt, a sleight-of-hand grab for these elite forces away from normal supervision via established Department of Defense structures, and away from oversight by Admiral McRaven’s professional associate CIA Director Patraeus. This cannot be a good thing.

The myth of General Patraeus in the public purview is a demonstrable tactical lie. In fact the ‘surge that turned around the war in Iraq’ for which he became famous was at best a deceit along the lines of a shell game or bait and switch. General Patraeus beefed up the American force, momentarily disrupted the insurgency with an all out push that could not be sustained in any case, and then pulled the bulk of the American forces back to their bases and took the Americans, for the first time, largely out of public circulation before the insurgents could regroup. It is this removing the American soldiers from the everyday Iraqi life which had dramatically dropped the violence in Iraq, nothing more. The same could have been accomplished in 2004, and honestly at that, were it not for literally crusading extremist neo-con commanders and secular officers afraid to speak out and challenge the status quo at the CIA and Pentagon, to call a spade a spade, a career ending move. It is truly Faustian, if you speak out your career is over and you have been weeded from the ranks which only become more Christian extremist with the favored or ‘blessed’ replacements, if you keep your mouth shut, it all evolves towards fascism regardless.

Moving over to Afghanistan, notoriously there have been many special operations forces crimes, inclusive of attacking weddings and other incidents where fleeing women and kids had been shot in their backs, cold blooded murders. We pay the Afghans compensation but the root problem of anti-Islam fundamentalism is never effectively addressed and the hate for the Americans only spreads. General Patraeus has had a large hand in keeping these American special operations independent of NATO, effectively exercising impunity and generating a strengthened Taliban when the Americans are seen as a worse curse.

Now, we are seeing the full fruition of the crusading mentality and criminal anti-social behaviors with the ‘burning of the Koran’ riots in Kabul triggering a long pent up but growing frustration of the Afghan people as a whole. No Snowflake in an Avalanche points towards the inevitable conclusion: Our fundamentalist neo-con Generals, in the guise of patriotism, have handed an untrained Obama a perfect storm. This is no accident.

The book’s holdings are consistent with the scenario I have drawn for the reader from my knowledge of social psychology, special operations intelligence and tactics. The book meticulously documents the facts of the extremism in our military leadership, it is a well written book, concise and cohesive to the points of sedition and treason at the highest levels of the United States Armed Forces and matches my independent assessment of these past several years, summarized in the preceding.

There is a long and consistent history of strong circumstantial evidence amassed in the public domain, evidence enough to support an overwhelming American civil law ‘preponderance of the evidence’ burden of proof, pointing to military/industrial associated spy services and associated professional para-military contractors as organized crime cartels precisely meeting the definition of RICO or “Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations.”

What has definitively happened since 1970, and particularly since September 2001, has been a government agency sanctioned and run amok murder ring, with attending insanity where caution and restraint has been thrown to the wind. This fact, combined with a ‘security’ apparatus which has grown to gargantuan proportions, can no longer conceal what has become a criminal enterprise, comprising religious extremist politicians,  top military brass who happen to be the politicians’ allied Christian fanatics, coupled with extremist professional corporate mercenaries largely staffed by former spooks and military special operations veterans euphemistically known as ‘contractors.’

These, and the leadership of spy agencies and law enforcement agencies all vector with and ultimately converge on the most powerful players in American politics, whether right wing multi-national corporate billionaires, former CIA Directors, some of whom have become congressmen, and the past and current Attorney General and present FBI Director that protect them.

First as a soldier, then investigator and now as a journalist, my experience has taught me to keep a longstanding and healthy mistrust of intelligence agencies. This began with eye-witnessing CIA personnel (via Air America) trafficking in heroin on a large scale in Vietnam.

Following Vietnam, there was another large CIA associated trafficking operation tied to Iran Contra. Fast forwarding to 2010, one of those Iran-Contra players had a ‘private’ CIA operating in Afghanistan, run by an Air Force contractor named Michael Furlong The New York Times had reported.

Some 40 days after this story broke, we see this:

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has opened an inquiry into whether civilian Department of Defense (Air Force) employee Michael Furlong had “violated rules” by using his position inside a highly secured military facility to coordinate a secret, unauthorized spy ring employing private contractors, to include convicted Iran-Contra CIA operative Duane ‘Dewey’ Clarridge.”

By waiting 40 days since this had spilled, Robert Gates had given damage control in this affair ample time to meet, plan, erase tracks, create false leads, and destroy evidence.

Throughout his series, the New York Times reporter neglects to mention Robert Gates is also an Iran-Contra figure, investigated by prosecutor Lawrence Walsh who stated:

“By October, when Gates claimed he first remembered hearing of the diversion, Casey ordered an inquiry and later made a report to Poindexter; but, by then, the Hasenfus aircraft had been shot down and Casey and Gates were beginning to cover

This “Hasenfus aircraft” had been tied to narcotics smuggling, related murders, including murders of American citizens within the United States, not only arms trafficking during the Iran-Contra operations (Hasenfus was shot down while supplying arms to Contra rebels.)

The use of ‘hires’ had followed on the CIA forced to divest itself of Air America by Congress in the 1970s, and is when ‘former’ CIA operatives moved over to ‘contracting’ to fill the void for the CIA. It was during this period of covering up Iran-Contra, when existing air operations were ‘hot’, the CIA took advantage of its long affiliation with the United States Forest Service as a cover, to open a new avenue and access to aircraft that could not be associated with operations tied to the USA government and the Department of Defense operations and the CIA particularly. Again, there were strong allegations of arms trafficking ties to narcotics.

It was in this new post Air America scene of using contractors, that things began to unravel for the criminal ring that has hijacked the CIA’s operational division. In a world of hotshot cowboys, there is the problem of some people attracted to the work have ethics. Now, with a covert program where military C-130 cargo planes were shell gamed to CIA contractors under cover of a Forest Service/Department of Defense surplus aircraft program (ostensibly intended to support firefighting) a tenacious whistle blower who knows how the agency works and access to information, nearly blew the lid off. But with adroit jockeying, the CIA, just barely, managed to escape the ensuing investigations that removed a Forest Service Chief, into planes that supposedly used for firefighting almost certainly were running guns and narcotics.

Fast forward to 2005 and you find Gulf Stream jets used in the CIA renditions are passing through the hands of known CIA assets, to cartel traffickers, one had crashed in Mexico carrying 4 tons of Cocaine as noted in the narco-sphere news:

“the Gulfstream II was purchased less than two weeks before it crashed in Mexico by a duo that included a U.S. government operative who allegedly had done past contract work for a variety of US law enforcement and intelligence agencies, according to a known CIA asset (Baruch Vega) who is identified as such in public court records. The four tons of cocaine onboard of the Gulfstream II at the time of its crash landing, according Vega, was purchased in Colombia via a syndicate that included a Colombian narco-trafficker named Nelson Urrego, who, according to Panamanian press reports and Vega, is a U.S. government (CIA) asset”

By 2010, military contractor aviation has become multi-hundred million dollar business, flying around the world on contracts to the Department of State which had provided cover of diplomatic immunity to renditions flights.

Back to Furlong. With an undetermined source of funding, and no knowledge of who supervises his work and who in the military chain of command might be involved, Furlong had hired private security companies [military contractors] employing former Special Operations Forces and CIA Agents to spy and assassinate. Furlong was working out of the United States Air Force Strategic Command complex requiring highest security clearance, in a program in close association with the highest levels in the Central Command and the Pentagon. There had been red flags raised by the Furlong operation since late 2009.

A military intelligence specialist, Furlong’s past operations have been in the Balkans, a central area of European organized crime and contract murder. His Balkans ties points to possible Air Force or military links to narcotics trafficking and assassination or contract murders in Europe.

Furlong’s supposed ‘real’ work was in a social psychology intelligence program designed to enhance pacification efforts. His ‘possibly rogue’ operation, a presumption his military supervisors might not have been aware of what he was up to, is laughable, considering the security level and scrutiny required where Furlong worked.

The now known operation coordinated by Furlong employed International Media Ventures, run by veterans of General McChrystal’s Special Operations forces, American International Security, run by a former Green Beret, and most interestingly, as we have seen, a company belonging to Duane ‘Dewey’ Clarridge, a former top CIA official with close ties to Robert Gates and Iran-Contra and utilized by the FBI in Afghanistan, following this debacle.

Not only did Gates wait well over a month to “open an inquiry” to see whether “rules were violated” (notice contract murder is suddenly a mere ‘rules violation’ and that is what Furlong was ultimately slapped with) but look at the following intelligence our brilliant U.S. Military had left out in plain view on the web, bragging Furlong’s credentials.

“Michael D. “Mike” Furlong, a Senior Level executive, is the Strategic Planner and Technology Integration Adviser, Joint Information Operations Warfare Command, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Mr. Furlong analyzes national and combatant command-level information operations requirements and develops strategic information plans. He assists with integrating COCOM IO plans with U.S. government interagency strategic communication plans; assesses the effectiveness of those plans and makes recommendations to refine them; and surveys relevant commercial technology to develop programs to meet the IO capability requirements of the IO community.”

Translated to sensible civilian terms, Furlong ostensibly created or improved apparatus related to information gathering and sharing, seemingly innocous enough, however keep in mind his job description indicates he has access to our CIA and military intelligence top secret “inter-agency” networking [improving and/or integrating, that is his job cover according to the government] which makes his Pentagon provided cover of developing social information to improve our military’s community building relationship to Afghan civilians a bit like disinformation.

Further, consider Furlong worked for our top commanders in a super-secret military facility taking that into account, let’s look at Furlong’s military bio:

“Mr. Furlong received a regular Army commission in May 1977 as a distinguished military graduate from Loyola University, serving for 25 years. During his military career, he held assignments with the Joint Staff, Army Staff, U.S. Special Operations Command and U.S. European Command. Mr. Furlong was also a defense contractor for eight years. He was the project manager for the establishment of three U.S. government-funded independent television and radio networks on the ground in Bosnia, Kosovo and Iraq. He also served in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations/Low-Intensity Conflict in the department of defense and in the Secretary of the Air Force’s Space Policy Office”

Furlong’s CV:

Special Operations Forces Warrior Foundation

Based on profiling the preceding, any idea Furlong was assigned to a benign assessment of society and culture to identify methods of pacification through community relations building projects [as has been put forward by the Department of Defense when this story first broke] is simply nonsense. Furlongs job description, while running the private spy and murder network out of his office is a cover for something else altogether, because:

1) the man is expert in Low Intensity Conflict/Special Operations

2) the man is expert in psychological warfare

3) the man is expert in satellite communications relevant to targeting

4) the man is expert in the field of defense contracting, which presumes a high knowledge of inter-entity cooperation in the operations of war. Sub-point here would be his connections in the private sector of so-called ‘contractors’ [mercenaries]

5) Furlong is tied to command level work throughout his career

You don’t give this kind of guy a job coordinating cultural anthropology. The preceding, taken together with the fact he worked in a operations and command center secured as cryptically secret, substantiates the idea there is no way Furlong’s activities could have gone on undetected for a week, let alone months or years, by his superiors. His was a known program deliberately concealed at his work location.

How did the moron Furlong get busted? Not by the military security where he worked, the assumption has to be he was authorized to do whatever he was up to, but because he had a loose mouth, and an ego assuming the people he bragged his activities to, would not betray his program. In fact it was an ethical military contractor that initially blew the whistle, which began an investigation EXTERNAL to the command center where Furlong ran his so called ‘unauthorized’ program. That is why the investigation was not nipped in the bud, Gates and his generals were unaware of it until the investigators presented their information, the investigators presuming Furlong’s crimes were not authorized.

When the investigative report was turned in and factually pointed to Furlong at his desk, mysteriously, it appears the investigation was stopped in its tracks and finally the Secretary of Defense himself had “opened an inquiry.”

I suppose that means Robert Gates personally oversaw the direction of things from time of exposure, as best he was able. What do you suppose Gates, who was accused [but not indicted] by special counsel of engineering cover-up in Iran-Contra, was covering up now? I will conjure it up:

Psychological warfare, when combined with special operations, can be reverse engineered, for instance, instead of destabilizing the enemy, these skills can be used to strengthen an enemy such as appears to have been the case in Afghanistan since it became apparent Obama would become president.

Afghanistan had largely been a ‘sleeping’ conflict for years, somewhere between a low intensity conflict and a real war. Suddenly that theater of operations came apart like hell in a hand bag, the Taliban community support skyrocketed across the entire country and in rushed the Bush assembled Robert Gates led military team of neo-con generals, men who hate everything Obama ever said he stands for, political lies or not, to save the day for Obama.  Afghanistan was engineered to come apart by the generals he is depending on to win the ‘peace.’

Using the ‘private’ network of contractors made up from Christian extremist General McChrystal’s special operations veterans comprising religious extremist founded corporate militias like Blackwater, to provide deliberate targeting of civilians [engineered out of a top secret Air Force installation by Furlong] to the witting or unwitting special operations on the ground, as well, targeting civilians with smart bombs and drone missiles, has in the course of the past few years, radicalized nearly the entire population of Afghanistan and destabilized and alienated Pakistan’s populace as well. On 29 May 2010 the AP WIRE had reported:

“U.S. military investigators found that “inaccurate and unprofessional” reporting by U.S. operators of a Predator drone was responsible for a missile strike that killed 23 Afghan civilians in February, according to a report released Saturday”

This is consistent with Furlong’s operation.

Placing the added irritant of many small CIA coordinated American Special Operations forward bases performing night raids throughout the Afghanistan, including areas where there were no Taliban or Al Qaida, served to turn those communities into Taliban and Al Qaida supporters. [see 2, 3, 4, & 5 linked night raid articles]

Meanwhile, neo-con CIA operatives and associated Special Operations Forces, and corporate militia fanning Islamic hate for the USA is by no means limited to Afghanistan with night raids, or Iraq with its infamous mass murders such as the State Department hired Blackwater deliberately select religious extremist security detail opening fire into a crowd, murdering 17 people without provocation.

Over in Somalia you have essentially identical policy choices, insofar as results, as noted in the NATION:

“But by most credible accounts, the Al Qaeda influence at the time was small—consisting of about a dozen foreign operatives and a handful of Somalis with global jihadist aspirations. A UN cable from June 2006, containing notes of a meeting with senior State Department and US military officials from the Horn of Africa task force, indicates that the United States was aware of the ICU’s diversity, but would “not allow” it to rule Somalia. The United States, according to the notes, intended to “rally with Ethiopia if the ‘Jihadist’ took over.” The cable concluded, “Any Ethiopian action in Somalia would have Washington’s blessing.” Some within the US intelligence community called for dialogue or reconciliation, but their voices were drowned out by hawks determined to overthrow the ICU

After 3 years the Al Qaida aligned Shabab had control:

“With the ICU dismantled and the brutal Ethiopian occupation continuing for two more years, the Shabab emerged as the vanguard of the fight against foreign occupation. “For them, it was the break that they were looking for,” says Aynte. “It was the anger that they had been looking for, to harness the anger of the people and present themselves as the new nationalist movement that would kick Ethiopia out”

Destabilization of nations gives cover for pre-positioning American Special Operations, demands increased defense spending, profits corporate militia and armaments industry and even can be used as a mask for [clandestine purpose] repositioning of American armies to attack Iran, as could be the case for the artificial war generated in Afghanistan.

This deliberate destabilization would be easily coordinated with the assets at Furlongs disposal, presuming an authentic conspiracy in the command structure which is either entirely incompetent [not a credible excuse] or had deliberately allowed Furlong to operate.

Iran, for several years, ran war games anticipating a possible attack from American forces coming out of Iraq. Iran was concerned enough, it used its influence in Iraq to secure an Iraqi demand the USA could not attack Iran from Iraq in the USA/Iraqi security agreement. Moving the American Army over to attack Iran from Afghanistan does not neutralize the Iranian preparations, but it takes the edge off, reorganization, strategic analysis and retraining time, actually several years is required by Iran to re-engineer and hone its defenses to the previous optimal level. Vietnam was engineered by an attack known as the Gulf of Tonkin Incident:

“A highly classified program of covert actions against North Vietnam known as Operation Plan 34-Alpha, in conjunction with the DESOTO operations, had begun under the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 1961. In 1964 the program was transferred to the US Defense Department and conducted by the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (SOG)”

We as easily could have a deliberately engineered ‘Gulf of Hormuz’ incident, in fact there are reports of the Obama White House further pursuing exactly that, the Bush CIA para-military operations engaging Iran.

Now, I have been studying Obama for enough time to arrive at a conclusion. I believe in conspiracies which can be detected and proven in reality and although I do not believe Obama is a ‘manchurian candidate’ per se, I simply believe he is narcissistic in the extreme, but this is, under the circumstance, effectively the same thing.

Obama’s intelligence agencies and generals he trusts to be American patriots, it would appear, have caused this artificially engineered realignment of American armies to Afghanistan at the unnecessary price of American, American allies and Afghan blood, of their own accord, passing it off as a deteriorating circumstance funded/driven by Taliban drug trafficking profits [which the formerly Robert Gates and presently General Patreaus directed CIA colludes in.]

Obama and his political allies have believed them. These generals are the very men who resist every effort by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation to blunt the spread of Christian religious extremism in our Military. Men who believe “all Muslims are always evil, all of the time.” Men who have no conscience in pursuing their systemic murder of Muslims. Men who actually believe in a necrotic fantasy of literal Armageddon.

1) In the 1930s there was a group of American businessmen expediting finances for the NAZI war machine. Note the names involved include not only Prescott Bush, but also Foster Dulles. ‘Foster’ Dulles is John Foster Dulles, brother of Allen Dulles, Foster is his name in professional and business circles. John Foster Dulles was a ‘deeply religious’ conservative. Incidental to this, the NAZI political platform emphasizes ‘Positive Christianity’. Elements of ‘Positive Christianity’ portraying Jesus as a “Fighter” with violent, apocalyptic world view are today associated with extreme theology in the American religious right

Guardian article on Bush/Dulles Nazi connections

‎2) John Foster Dulles brother, Allen Dulles, rescued numerous NAZI war criminals by providing them with new identities in violation of explicit instruction by Harry Truman. Allen Dulles is written extensively about by former Pentagon liaison to the CIA, Colonel L Fletcher Prouty, in his work ‘The Secret Team.’ Allen Dulles, a former military intelligence officer, was first civilian and longest serving CIA Director. Colonel Prouty points directly to Allen Dulles as at the point of an internationally active ’secret team’, which he calls a “new religion”, working to undermine democracy around the world on behalf of American corporate boardrooms

‎3) CIA Director Allen Dulles sat on United Fruit Board of Directors, and John Foster Dulles served as United Fruit’s legal counsel. United Fruit is now Chiquita Brands, with extensive holdings in Latin America and a long history of CIA undermining Latin American governments to benefit its profits via corruption, cocaine & gun running, and associated mass murders. Meanwhile, evangelical Christianity and ‘pentecostalism’ has boomed throughout Latin America, so far as a variant becoming the religious cult belief of Drug Cartels such as ‘Los Zetas’ and ‘La Famiglia.’ After the Dulles brothers had died, Eli Black outbid the George H.W. Bush owned Zapata Corporation for control of United Fruit, and anything you can possibly imagine that could go wrong, did go wrong for Eli, including much of United Fruit’s paper assets magically vanishing, a fat bribe called ‘Bananagate’ pinned on Eli suddenly turned up with an SEC investigation, and the 54 year old Jewish businessman who likely (physically) could not fight his way out of a paper bag, miraculously broke an industrial strength window and ‘jumped’ from the 44th floor of a skyscraper. With Eli conveniently out of the way, Chiquita Brands was taken over by close Bush buddy & religious right Republican big shot Carl Lindner

History of Chiquita Brands at Wikipedia here

4) Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder served as legal counsel for Chiquita Brands and is directly involved in shielding Chiquita Brands corporate executives from ‘murder for hire’ prosecutions, when Chiquita had hired the Columbian AUC terrorist group’s right wing death squads to protect its banana interests in Columbia. Meanwhile, Holder has also been shielding criminal acts of the CIA with the ’state secret’ and ‘national security’ doctrine

Huffington Post article on Holder and Chiquita murder

5) CIA Director George H.W. Bush, son of NAZI financier Prescott Bush, after he became president, promoted Iran-Contra/narcotics and guns runner Robert Gates as his CIA Director. Robert Gates is so close to George H.W. Bush, it could be said Gates is the brother of evangelical George W. Bush. Robert Gates has been Obama’s Secretary of Defense and just now Afghanistan is the world’s leading supplier of heroin. With Robert Gates leaving Department of Defense for private sector and to be replaced by the fig leaf Panetta, General Patraeus, the American commander in Afghanistan, is scheduled to take over the CIA. General Patraeus is close to Robert Gates and the Bush dynasty

‎6) 40 years after Colonel Prouty had written about a CIA centered new religious group he described as ‘The Secret Team’ dedicated to American corporate boardrooms taking over our republic, investigative reporter for Harper’s Magazine, Jeff Sharlet, documents the evolution of a new variant extreme Christian cult, ‘The Family’, founded by NAZI sympathetic American businessmen in the 1930s .. and this is precisely why the Bush/Cheney regime criminals will never be prosecuted by Chiquita lawyer Eric Holder

7) Meanwhile, George H.W. Bush and Robert Gates had, while positioning a CIA backed corporate empire, sunk Jimmy Carter’s re-election by making a secret deal with Iran’s ayatollahs to keep the American Embassy hostages in Iran until after the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan. Since, the Reagan administration’s man in charge of coordinating Christian conservatism with government, Iran-Contra scandal implicated Attorney General Ed Meese, had mentored Antonin Scalia to the U.S. Supreme Court. After that, the Ed Meese inspired Federalist Society has provided us with three more justices, Clarence Thomas by association, and Samuel Alito and John Roberts by membership. The society has  many events and members featuring Bush associated criminal personalities to include Dick Cheney, Cheney’s former Vice Presidential counsel and mutual friend of John Roberts Shannen Coffin, Condoleezza Rice, and torture lawyer John Yoo. Dick Cheney was ranking Republican for the Iran-Contra Congressional hearings and that is how much damning information was suppressed

8 ) Again, Colonel Prouty had pointed to corporate boardroom centered, CIA backed ‘Secret Team’ new religion penetrating every facet of American security services, to include the FBI and military. Since, former Air Force officer and lawyer Mikey Weinstein has been documenting an extreme Christian cult military leadership having overtaken the USA’s Air Force Academy particularly, and force feeding our troops religious right propaganda throughout our military. Our Christian extremist Officers Christian Fellowship led Pentagon has, via Chiquita lawyer Eric Holder’s Department of Justice, been fighting Mikey Weinstein’s efforts tooth and nail

Additional notes: Throughout this information there emerges a portrait of wealthy men with careers in intelligence who profess patriotic motivation where action promotes self-serving/self-enriching interests. To put Colonel Prouty in simple terms, he’d told his story, giving excellent descriptions of what he’d seen in historical context and concluded ‘something here just doesn’t smell right.’ In the 40 years since, there have been many developments that can be seen as having filled in the blanks. That Jeff Sharlet (personal communication) cannot tie ‘The Family’ to ‘The Secret Team’ does not, in my view, detract from what otherwise can only be described as events beyond coincidence: The Dulles brothers connection as a common thread between 1930’s American businessmen involved with financing the 3rd Reich war machine, and the post WW II Dulles brothers positions and activities including rescuing NAZI crimiinals, with corporate boardroom ties spanning the entire period of criminal activities. If there had been a script written to fill in the blanks for the picture Colonel Prouty had drawn, ensuing events and what Jeff has documented entirely independently appears a close match. As noted in Colonel Prouty’s work, the CIA (and elements of the larger intelligence community) is organized into cells, which more often than not, are not aware of each other or assignments and objectives. There is a large redundancy built into these organizations to prevent mission failure, were one element to be penetrated and/or exposed. This is a premier challenge facing people in the business of espionage. With men like Allen Dulles at the point of a concerted effort at treason, it stands to reason any corporate boardroom ventures bent on the undermining of democracy and overthrow of our republic based on motivation of narcissistic greed shrouded in facade of ‘god and country’ would be organized into cells of the same nature. The Department of State and the CIA are siamese twins and that was never more apparent than in the case of the Dulles brothers, with John Foster Dulles as Secretary of State and Allen Dulles as Director of Central Intelligence. That Prescott Bush is tied to the pre-war Dulles brothers business ventures with the 3rd Reich and George H.W. Bush is tied to the post war Dulles brothers business empire, is beyond dispute. The pre and post WW II crimes on all parties part, individuals and corporations, appear to merge at critical times in the operational sector of the CIA, which gives Colonel Prouty’s hypothesis credit. What clinched it for me, is my running these proposed facts by my Department of State insider for confirmation and I quote the reply: ”One word: Yup. I don’t remember all the details, and that’s what makes it difficult to make a case. I’ve never kept reference lists for all I’ve read, in part because a good portion of it might still be classified.”
Also it should be noted here there are many over-lapping branches of extreme Christian fundamentalism. Not all right-wing evangelicals are pentecostals and the pentecostals themselves are a diverse group. And certainly not all evangelicals or pentecostals dedicate themselves to a church in supremacy over democracy, however many in both groups do. Additionally, there are elements of right-wing catholics who make common cause with these protestant extremists .. as appears to be the case with some lay catholics and certain societies such as Opus Dei and Pius X, also the present administration at the Vatican.
Beyond this, any ‘family’ or ’secret team’ (whether you believe they are different organizations or separate cells of the same) would not hesitate to utilize unsuspecting groups whom they held some beliefs in common with. In any group there almost certainly will be ‘levels’ of initiation or confidence, similar to security clearance, determining how proactive one is expected to be. This would be modeled after security technique of classified information made accessible to people on a ‘need to know’ basis. Keith Olberman series on “Crusaders” in Iraq (since covered up with minimal prosecutions)

Flamey Prudeman of Demented Neighborhoods: Today we interview Glenn Beckwald on the Obama administration’s openly gay foreign policy and the war in Liberacestan. Glenn has been the most effective liberal anti-war shill or, alternately, accused of being the most effective possible shill for the witch hunting, child torturing closet-gay neo-con agenda when it comes to the closet gays exercising impunity in the public eye, a necessary propaganda ploy in our homosexual nationalist culture, to make certain people feel by merely donating, rather than demonstrating in the streets, they are doing more than wringing their hands and shedding a tear or two, to fight the fascist-closet-gay war agenda.

DN: It has been stated the liberal openly gay agenda you support has in fact propped up the neo-con closet gay agenda you oppose, or restated, all things being equally gay in our interventionist policies, the closet gays’ claim transparency is a threat to National Security, and this is the gay issue which most turns you on. How do you respond to that?

Beckwald: Flamey, nothing could be further from the truth. The closet gays suffer immense moral turpitude and for anyone to claim my open ‘gayness’ could in any way prop up the closet gay agenda is simple non-sense. The only healthy culture is an openly gay culture and I’ve not heard any liberal or otherwise credible source claim ‘in the closet’ is a good thing. Herein lie the problem: until the closet gays are outed, and these most insidious of National Security secrets are revealed, our nation’s policies will be dishonest. A national security policy kept in the closet is not a healthy national security. It’s simply not possible for my openly gay position to prop up the closet gay agenda.

DN: Bacha Bazi, also known as bacchá, is sexual slavery and child prostitution, in which prepubescent and adolescent boys are sold to wealthy or powerful men for entertainment and sexual activities. This business thrives in Liberacestan, in fact our military aid has put many of these boys into Liberace army mascot uniforms. Some of the individuals involved report being forced into sex. The authorities have been reluctant to crack down on the practice by military commanders. Your organization ‘Re-weinerize Liberacestan’ has made this a ‘seminal issue’ by demanding the boys be volunteers, paid equitably, and the pedophile commanders come out of the closet and demonstrate authentic gay pride by legitimizing their homosexual child concubines with legal same sex partnerships. This should temper the exploitation of these children, correct?

Beckwald: Absolutely Flamey. This a cornerstone of ‘Re-weinerize Liberacestan’ policy, to raise awareness and impart democratic values to what has been to now a hopelessly backwards culture. The sooner the closet gay commanders become comfortable with their sexuality in public, we all can begin to kiss and make up, the Taliban commanders, American neo-con generals and Karzai’s war lords can all find common ground. Male sexuality is SO misunderstood and when repressed it leads to ALL sorts of malevolent behaviors which manifest as being SO angry. The sooner Liberacestan is openly gay, there will be no need for wars, we will have created heaven on earth, heck, I might live part time there!

DN: This past week in Philadelphia, three priests and a teacher were charged with raping boys. Their supervisor, Monsignor William Lynn, was not accused of molesting children but of endangering them. A damning grand jury report said at least two boys were sexually assaulted because he put two known pedophiles in posts where they had contact with youngsters. Comparatively speaking, is there not a conflict, to describe Liberacestan’s homosexual pedophile culture as backwards? It’s not like this is some isolated incident in Western culture.

Beckwald: Flamey, this is not only a crass intrusion on Church affairs in violation of the wall between church and state, this is a nature versus nurture thing. Without openly nurturing homosexuality in children, how would the misogynist western culture’s males ever be able to express their true sexuality without hate and consequent wars? Homosexual pedophilia should be decriminalized, otherwise we must criminalize ALL male hierarchal order based in masculine narcissism, and all associated judeo-christian derived misogynist/homosexual religions which are behind aggression and war. You know I live in Brazil, where these problems don’t crop up for the Catholic Church and there is a wide open gay culture where it is SO easy to find and live openly with your male same sex partner. When pedophilia is decriminalized, the Church as well, will be free to come out of the closet, stop inspiring torture, inciting wars, et cetera and the Pius X Society will surrender its fascism for free love with children. This is why ‘Re-weinerize Liberacestan’ is in the forefront of the fight against fascism with raising national awareness of how Bacha Bazi could be a force for peace and why it should come into the American public eye. The sooner we legitimize these boys sexually comforting the closet gays in American minds, including our neo-con generals, the sooner there can be peace. This should be a prioritized focus of the USAID programs in Liberacestan, it would be so much better more American tax dollars are stolen from there, than current expenditures on CIA drone missiles fed bad targeting information through closet gay mercenary contractors like Iran-Contra associated criminal Michael Furlong at Strategic Command, resulting in murdering entire families.

DN: ‘Re-weinerize Liberacestan’ associated experts express a sentiment we should be very gentle in liberating the closet gays. Is this why you’ve not gone after the individual generals with your resources, those generals involved in crime personally, hands on? For example Colonel Ann Wright has documented numerous cases of raped and murdered American women soldiers who’d the misfortune to be assigned to corrupt commands in Iraq, including rape and murders of women assigned directly to General Petreaus command. Why not help Colonel Wright on this issue with your tremendous organizational resources? Why not go after the individual commanders and push these identifiable corruption associated rapes and murders that can be tied to top commanders into the public eye and mainstream news? Or for that matter, the epidemic rape of our women soldiers overall? Wouldn’t this be a powerful tool to get a real examination of the war on track and public outrage demanding answers and the wars shut down?

Beckwald: Many liberals don’t understand how these things must be finessed, Flamey. Yes, we must be very gentle liberating the closet gays, because as soon as we start naming names to specific crimes, the closet gays become paranoid and come after us. Just more violence and you know that it is the violence we are against. Especially violence against us. For instance, we are perfectly aware since 2008 specific war crimes can be tied to specific closet gay commanders in Liberacestan, but if we push neo-con “C Street” associated individuals like Generals Petreaus, McChrystal and Odinero into the spotlight, the chances of them ever coming out of the closet on their own, as gentle and beautiful, openly gay people, are practically nil.

When the people of America voted for “Hope” and “Change” they were voting for a new political culture, not more political lies and certainly not Chicago politics. But it was precisely those things, more political lies and Chicago politics, which Obama had brought to the White House.

Now the voters have delivered Obama a spanking. Does he get it? NO. Because only a man of exceedingly great narcissism could fail to see the people desire RADICAL departure from the norm of Washington, the kind of RADICAL departure that requires BALLS, not rhetoric. The kind of RADICAL moves that shuns establishment politicos rather than employs them as a circle of cronies, people who crack down, kick ass if you will, on the incredible ongoing stupid stuff. People who do not lie. That is how you get the people behind you and win elections. Obama has not done that. He prosecutes law abiding whistle-blowers. He shields Bush criminals. He keeps on religious extremist generals that trapped him into escalating a war he cannot now escape easily or gracefully. Et cetera add nausea, or one might say Obama has stabbed “Hope” and “Change” in the back and that is why he is where he is one week’s fallout after the mid-term elections

Now, what I pose to the reader as she/he peruses this lampoon of a deliberately selected Obama speech, is to ponder what is more frightening: Obama the liar or the narcissistic Obama who actually believes his own lies. Because there is one certain thing in this following speech.. it is shot through and through with political lies

My et ceteras [going to thoughts that might be in the back of Obama’s or a listener’s mind] in italics

“I want to acknowledge a few people who are here. We have President Mikhail Gorbachev is here today, and I want everybody to give him a big round of applause. I want to thank Sergei Gurief, Director of the New Economic School. Max Boiko, their Chairman of the Board. And Arkady Dvorkovich, who is the NES board member, President of the Alumni Association and is doing an excellent job for President Medvedev, because he was in our meeting yesterday

Obama had to tell Russian students who Mikhail Gorbachev is! How stupidly condescending was that? How about simply ‘I am honored you are attending President Gorbachev’, for the single great man in his audience, because the name dropping game goes to ingratiating, condescending and narcissistic.. big time

“Good morning. It is a great honor for me to join you at the New Economic School. Michelle and I are so pleased to be in Moscow. And as somebody who was born in Hawaii, I’m glad to be here in July instead of January

“I know that NES is a young school, but I speak to you today with deep respect for Russia’s timeless heritage. Russian writers have helped us understand the complexity of the human experience and recognize eternal truths. Russian painters, composers and dancers have introduced us to new forms of beauty. Russian scientists have cured disease, sought new frontiers of progress and helped us go to space

Let me suck up by telling you the obvious!

“These are contributions that are not contained by Russia’s borders, as vast as those borders are. Indeed, Russia’s heritage has touched every corner of the world, and speaks to the humanity that we share. That includes my own country, which has been blessed with Russian immigrants for decades; we’ve been enriched by Russian culture, and enhanced by Russian cooperation. And as a resident of Washington, D.C., I continue to benefit from the contributions of Russians — specifically, from Alexander Ovechkin. We’re very pleased to have him in Washington, D.C.

And if I want borscht, because I know what that is, the White House chefs are there for me!..  tell us of a single great Russian cultural contribution embraced by common Americans.. reach, Obama, reach

“Here at NES, you have inherited this great cultural legacy, but your focus on economics is no less fundamental to the future of humanity. As Pushkin said, “Inspiration is needed in geometry just as much as poetry.” And today, I want particularly to speak to those of you preparing to graduate. You’re poised to be leaders in academia and industry; in finance and government. But before you move forward, it’s worth reflecting on what has already taken place during your young lives

“your young lives” Oh, how I love talking down to Russia’s most brilliant young people!

“Like President Medvedev and myself, you’re not old enough to have witnessed the darkest hours of the Cold War, when hydrogen bombs were tested in the atmosphere, and children drilled in fallout shelters, and we reached the brink of nuclear catastrophe. But you are the last generation born when the world was divided. At that time, the American and Soviet armies were still massed in Europe, trained and ready to fight. The ideological trenches of the last century were roughly in place. Competition in everything from astrophysics to athletics was treated as a zero-sum game. If one person won, then the other person had to lose

Let me explain the real ‘zero sum game’ because you’re not old enough to understand Chicago politics!

“And then, within a few short years, the world as it was ceased to be. Now, make no mistake: This change did not come from any one nation. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years, and because the people of Russia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peaceful

So unlike my bible thumping White House Faith Director and neo-con generals plans for Iran

“With the end of the Cold War, there were extraordinary expectations — for peace and for prosperity; for new arrangements among nations, and new opportunities for individuals. Like all periods of great change, it was a time of ambitious plans and endless possibilities. But, of course, things don’t always work out exactly as planned. Back in 1993, shortly after this school opened, one NES student summed up the difficulty of change when he told a reporter, and I quote him: “The real world is not so rational as on paper.”

That is because the American government conceals its criminal irrationality on papers concealed as state secrets- “but of course things don’t always work out exactly as planned”, like the plans the American people had for the ‘hope’ and ‘change’ my Department of Justice has stabbed in the back- with a ‘state secrets’ doctrine shielding some of the greatest criminals in world history because ‘I want to look forward, not back’, and ‘looking forward, not back’ is why my Attorney General and Department of Justice pursue the Bush agenda destroying our civil liberties

“Over two tumultuous decades, that truth has been borne out around the world. Great wealth has been created, but it has not eliminated vast pockets of crushing poverty. Poverty exists here, it exists in the United States, and it exists all around the world. More people have gone to the ballot box, but too many governments still fail to protect the rights of their people. Ideological struggles have diminished, but they’ve been replaced by conflicts over tribe and ethnicity and religion. A human being with a computer can hold the same amount of information stored in the Russian State Library, but that technology can also be used to do great harm

America’s crushing new poverty can’t be considered a pocket, and oh yeah, our ‘private’ intellectual property rights extend to the ‘proprietary’ computer codes on our Diebold voting machines which don’t leave a paper trail when tipping elections, and, and, and, oh yeah, ideological struggles have been swept under the carpet in America because I have a Pentecostal White House Faith Director who is cozy with bible fascist Rick Warren who believes secular republican government is a sin against god, and that is why my administration is ‘inclusive’ of Bush criminals like Robert Gates who continues Bush policies and, and, oh, I greatly expanded my generals capacity for unsupervised cyber warfare and put it under the director of a spy agency violating civil rights with cyber crimes against my own people, and, and, uh, oh yeah..

“In a new Russia, the disappearance of old political and economic restrictions after the end of the Soviet Union brought both opportunity and hardship. A few prospered, but many more did not. There were tough times. But the Russian people showed strength and made sacrifices, and you achieved hard-earned progress through a growing economy and greater confidence. And despite painful times, many in Eastern Europe and Russia are much better off today than 20 years ago

They’re called oligarchs, those prospering, and I stole the ‘new’ Russia line from Don Rumsfeld

“We see that progress here at NES — a school founded with Western support that is now distinctly Russian; a place of learning and inquiry where the test of an idea is not whether it is Russian or American or European, but whether it works. Above all, we see that progress in all of you — young people with a young century to shape as you see fit

And we won’t ever get a working agreement on climate change at G-8 because my administration shields big corporate polluters, so it will be certain you can shape that new century’s problem as you see fit.. when it is your generations turn in a climate turned back 400 million years

“Your lifetime coincides with this era of transition. But think about the fundamental questions asked when this school was founded. What kind of future is Russia going to have? What kind of future are Russia and America going to have together? What world order will replace the Cold War? Those questions still don’t have clear answers, and so now they must be answered by you — by your generation in Russia, in America, and around the world. You get to decide. And while I cannot answer those questions for you, I can speak plainly about the future that America is seeking

I can’t answer those questions because I am not actually a man of vision.. I actually only pose and sound like one.. in video sound-bytes.

“To begin with, let me be clear: America wants a strong, peaceful and prosperous Russia. This belief is rooted in our respect for the Russian people, and a shared history between our nations that goes beyond competition. Despite our past rivalry, our people were allies in the greatest struggle of the last century. Recently, I noted this when I was in Normandy — for just as men from Boston and Birmingham risked all that they had to storm those beaches and scale those cliffs, Soviet soldiers from places like Kazan and Kiev endured unimaginable hardships to repeal — to repel an invasion, and turn the tide in the east. As President John Kennedy said, “No nation in history of battle ever suffered more than the Soviet Union in the Second World War.”

I quote JFK because I am a video sound-byte visionary who depends on Michelle to hold my hand at the Lincoln memorial while I pose in noble-sanctimonious-empty-minded-ness, a sort of Chicago political Buddhism meant to comfort America’s masses of Black sheep.. and now I will reprise that kodak moment by parodying Alex Haley’s rediscovery of his Black African “Roots” [scripted by my handlers] with a visit to Ghana to keep my Black sheep calm in their perpetual abandonment to poverty while I tax-debt-burden the middle class of all colors out of existence with wars costing nearly as much as shoring up the fortunes of corrupt investment bankers

“So as we honor this past, we also recognize the future benefit that will come from a strong and vibrant Russia. Think of the issues that will define your lives: security from nuclear weapons and extremism; access to markets and opportunity; health and the environment; an international system that protects sovereignty and human rights, while promoting stability and prosperity. These challenges demand global partnership, and that partnership will be stronger if Russia occupies its rightful place as a great power

That is why Russia does not occupy its rightful place yet, because I’m not convinced it will live up to my hypocritical standards on human rights, going to issues which remain Bush era concealed crimes I have instructed my Attorney General not to reveal or prosecute.. and we don’t belong to the International Criminal Court and have no real or present plans to join because I back an international system that protects sovereignty and human rights, oh and Russia has not yet kissed my butt enough on my economic colonialism favoring western interests, like expanding NATO in your face with pushing the lie of Georgia as ‘Russian Occupied’ on behalf of Chevron corporation.. it’s called prosperity my way or the highway as I keep up military spending that exceeds all of the other nations on earth combined and give away equal amount of American’s money to investment bankers whose actions are collapsing the world economy, to promote stability and prosperity

“Yet unfortunately, there is sometimes a sense that old assumptions must prevail, old ways of thinking; a conception of power that is rooted in the past rather than in the future. There is the 20th century view that the United States and Russia are destined to be antagonists, and that a strong Russia or a strong America can only assert themselves in opposition to one another. And there is a 19th century view that we are destined to vie for spheres of influence, and that great powers must forge competing blocs to balance one another

Which has nothing at all to do with my record of pushing NATO in your face

“These assumptions are wrong. In 2009, a great power does not show strength by dominating or demonizing other countries. The days when empires could treat sovereign states as pieces on a chess board are over. As I said in Cairo, given our independence, any world order that — given our interdependence, any world order that tries to elevate one nation or one group of people over another will inevitably fail. The pursuit of power is no longer a zero-sum game — progress must be shared

That is why I am pushing NATO in your face and spend more on military than the rest of the nations on earth combined

“That’s why I have called for a “reset” in relations between the United States and Russia. This must be more than a fresh start between the Kremlin and the White House — though that is important and I’ve had excellent discussions with both your President and your Prime Minister. It must be a sustained effort among the American and Russian people to identify mutual interests, and expand dialogue and cooperation that can pave the way to progress

While I push NATO in your face

“This will not be easy. It’s difficult to forge a lasting partnership between former adversaries, it’s hard to change habits that have been ingrained in our governments and our bureaucracies for decades. But I believe that on the fundamental issues that will shape this century, Americans and Russians share common interests that form a basis for cooperation. It is not for me to define Russia’s national interests, but I can tell you about America’s national interests, and I believe that you will see that we share common ground

“It is hard to change habits” because I am a lying Chicago politician and that is why I am denying reality while pushing NATO in your face

“First, America has an interest in reversing the spread of nuclear weapons and preventing their use

That is why my nuclear facilities are refurbishing 80 strategic nuclear warheads a year and why any treaty on nuclear arms between us won’t touch the battlefield nuclear weapons that by far outnumber strategic nuclear weapons

“In the last century, generations of Americans and Russians inherited the power to destroy nations, and the understanding that using that power would bring about our own destruction. In 2009, our inheritance is different. You and I don’t have to ask whether American and Russian leaders will respect a balance of terror — we understand the horrific consequences of any war between our two countries. But we do have to ask this question: We have to ask whether extremists who have killed innocent civilians in New York and in Moscow will show that same restraint. We have to ask whether 10 or 20 or 50 nuclear-armed nations will protect their arsenals and refrain from using them

That is why I don’t fire my holy roller generals who have command and control of battlefield nuclear weapons as we escalate in Afghanistan, and have left 100,000 armed mercenary contractors in Iraq and meanwhile my pet Homo Erectus, Joe Biden, says Israel can attack Iran.. incidently with American weapons and money.. escalating the potential for nuclear war immensely

“This is the core of the nuclear challenge in the 21st century. The notion that prestige comes from holding these weapons, or that we can protect ourselves by picking and choosing which nations can have these weapons, is an illusion. In the short period since the end of the Cold War, we’ve already seen India, Pakistan and North Korea conduct nuclear tests. Without a fundamental change, do any of us truly believe that the next two decades will not bring about the further spread of these nuclear weapons?

That is why the only country ever to use nuclear weapons has a Pentecostal White House Faith Director and bible thumping, holy rolling generals with command and control over battlefield tactical nuclear weapons.. and that is why we refused North Korea a non-aggression pact and then pushed war games in North Koreas face, reversing their disarmament, and that is why I, as head of the greatest aggressor nation on earth would not dream of unilateral nuclear disarmament setting an example in sanity for survival sake

“That’s why America is committed to stopping nuclear proliferation, and ultimately seeking a world without nuclear weapons. That is consistent with our commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That is our responsibility as the world’s two leading nuclear powers. And while I know this goal won’t be met soon, pursuing it provides the legal and moral foundation to prevent the proliferation and eventual use of nuclear weapons

I mean the disarmament part won’t be met soon with my refurbishing nuclear weapons, and eventual use could actually be imminent USA battlefield use.. with my pet Homo Erectus Joe Biden saying Israel can attack Iran and a Pentecostal White House Faith Director cozy with holy rolling generals escalating in Afghanistan.. and with hired CIA mercenary armies on either flank of Iran

“We’re already taking important steps to build this foundation. Yesterday, President Medvedev and I made progress on negotiating a new treaty that will substantially reduce our warheads and delivery systems. We renewed our commitment to clean, safe and peaceful nuclear energy, which must be a right for all nations that live up to their responsibilities under the NPT. And we agreed to increase cooperation on nuclear security, which is essential to achieving the goal of securing all vulnerable nuclear material within four years

That is why my pet Homo Erectus says Israel can attack Iran and also why I have holy rolling generals.. and that is why the substantial reduction does not include battlefield nuclear weapons even as I refurbish my strategic nuclear arsenal

“As we keep our own commitments, we must hold other nations accountable for theirs. Whether America or Russia, neither of us would benefit from a nuclear arms race in East Asia or the Middle East. That’s why we should be united in opposing North Korea’s efforts to become a nuclear power, and opposing Iran’s efforts to acquire a nuclear weapon. And I’m pleased that President Medvedev and I agreed upon a joint threat assessment of the ballistic challenges — ballistic missile challenges of the 21st century, including from Iran and North Korea. This is not about singling out individual nations — it’s about the responsibilities of all nations. If we fail to stand together, then the NPT and the Security Council will lose credibility, and international law will give way to the law of the jungle. And that benefits no one. As I said in Prague, rules must be binding, violations must be punished and words must mean something

That is why the USA is not party to treaties creating courts of international justice and that is why the USA shields its war criminals from war crimes and genocide trials at the Hague and why my administration conceals Bush era crimes, and that is why I don’t extradite CIA criminals to Germany to face charges of kidnapping and delivery innocents to torture.. because I support international law, not the law of the jungle

“The successful enforcement of these rules will remove causes of disagreement. I know Russia opposes the planned configuration for missile defense in Europe. And my administration is reviewing these plans to enhance the security of America, Europe and the world. And I’ve made it clear that this system is directed at preventing a potential attack from Iran. It has nothing to do with Russia. In fact, I want to work together with Russia on a missile defense architecture that makes us all safer. But if the threat from Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program is eliminated, the driving force for missile defense in Europe will be eliminated, and that is in our mutual interests

And that is why we never come clean and teach American students the truth of our international history of CIA crimes that create radical and rabid regimes like Iran, so Raytheon Corporation can make my bible thumping, stock-holding, holy roller generals rich with the necessary consequent missile defense programs which only increase instability and risk of nuclear war

“Now, in addition to securing the world’s most dangerous weapons, a second area where America has a critical national interest is in isolating and defeating violent extremists

Extremists created by American policy and the CIA, with the help of Bush Sr CIA Director Robert Gates who just happens to be my holy roller Secretary of Defense in charge of my bible thumping generals that believe in literal Armageddon but I don’t want to even think about, let alone talk about defeating those violent extremists and replacing them with sane minds and less aggressive policies

“For years, al-Qaida and its affiliates have defiled a great religion of peace and justice, and ruthlessly murdered men, women and children of all nationalities and faiths. Indeed, above all, they have murdered Muslims. And these extremists have killed in Amman and Bali; Islamabad and Kabul; and they have the blood of Americans and Russians on their hands. They’re plotting to kill more of our people, and they benefit from safe havens that allow them to train and operate — particularly along the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan

That is why I keep Bush Sr CIA Director Robert Gates in charge of my war footing presidency, substituting for me as commander-in-chief, because as a CIA officer he created Al Qaida when he organized the Arab volunteer resistance to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, so, like the sorcerer’s apprentice with a broom, bucket and mop, he will clean Al Qaida up, everything will be cool while my holy roller generals plot Armageddon with war games and computer simulations attacking Iran

“And that’s why America has a clear goal: to disrupt, dismantle and defeat al-Qaida and its allies in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We seek no bases, nor do we want to control these nations. Instead, we want to work with international partners, including Russia, to help Afghans and Pakistanis advance their own security and prosperity. And that’s why I’m pleased that Russia has agreed to allow the United States to supply our coalition forces through your territory. Neither America nor Russia has an interest in an Afghanistan or Pakistan governed by the Taliban. It’s time to work together on behalf of a different future — a future in which we leave behind the great game of the past and the conflict of the present; a future in which all of us contribute to the security of Central Asia

Iran does not want the Taliban governing either, and Iran and Russia would both like the heroin production in Afghanistan cleaned up, also Iran kept numerous Al Qaida locked up in for years until my administrations hardline rhetoric and actions pissed off Iran to a point they recently released a top Al Qaida strategic genius to the Afghan tribal regions because I don’t want to think about Iran’s help in the fight with Al Qaida or any honest peace with Iran and I have a Pentecostal White House Faith Director with a political science degree, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates is a holy roller like my generals who believe Muslims are the children of Satan.. so it does not require rocket science to know we will never come clean in our relations with Iran, only I’ll let things escalate until tensions erupt into regional war that escalating to a point which threatens world survival with Armageddon to please my Christian extremist generals in their literal Crusade for Jesus

“Now, beyond Afghanistan, America is committed to promoting the opportunity that will isolate extremists. We are helping the Iraqi people build a better future, and leaving Iraq to the Iraqis. We’re pursuing the goal of two states, Israel and Palestine, living in peace and security. We’re partnering with Muslim communities around the world to advance education, health, and economic development. In each of these endeavors, I believe that the Russian people share our goals, and will benefit from success — and we need to partner together

That is why there is still no electricity and running water in Iraq and why there are reliable reports of one million dead Iraqis directly accountable to the USA invasion and consequent broken infrastructure that are never mentioned in my corporate aligned or owned mainstream press, and that is why my attorney general uses ‘state secrets’ to conceal crimes by my holy rolling generals who believe Muslims are the children of Satan

“Now, in addition to these security concerns, the third area that I will discuss is America’s interest in global prosperity. And since we have so many economists and future businessmen and women in the room, I know this is of great interest to you

Now I will, without saying so, explain why my Treasury Secretary met with the president of Switzerland to negotiate not having to fork over 52,000 American tax cheats names.. I won’t mention how complicated that is, with a judge not liking playing the game.. but the Swiss government will do me a favor and refuse the information that goes from pallets of cash meant to rebuild infrastructues missing in Iraq to real estate ponzi schemes by investment bankers.. so I don’t have to face that… or face the fact some of those single secret name accounts hold multiple hundreds of millions of dollars with those names we don’t want made public because there might be holy rolling generals and former CIA directors and ex-presidents and sitting senators and congresswomen and congressmen and missing pallets of cash from Iraq and enhanced CIA black budgets from heroin trafficking in Afghanistan and cocaine trafficking in South America, not only investment banker’s ponzi money, and, and, and.. burst bubble fortunes being covered by my taxpaying public.. protected by the Swiss Government’s threatened seizure of those records to prevent their becoming available to the rule of law, the same criminal Swiss government that destroyed evidence implicating a pair of double agents with Swiss citizenship who worked for the CIA that were involved in nuclear back marketing together with Pakistan’s ‘father of the bomb’

“We meet in the midst of the worst global recession in a generation. I believe that the free market is the greatest force for creating and distributing wealth that the world has known. But wherever the market is allowed to run rampant — through excessive risk-taking, a lack of regulation, or corruption — then all are endangered, whether we live on the Mississippi or on the Volga

That explains it away!

“In America, we’re now taking unprecedented steps to jump-start our economy and reform our system of regulation. But just as no nation can wall itself off from the consequences of a global crisis, no one can serve as the sole engine of global growth. You see, during your lives, something fundamental has changed. And while this crisis has shown us the risks that come with change, that risk is overwhelmed by opportunity

As we tax-debt-burden the middle class out of existence to shore up corrupt investment bankers and pursue military adventures which promise war in perpetuity

“Think of what’s possible today that was unthinkable two decades ago. A young woman with an Internet connection in Bangalore, India, can compete with anybody anywhere in the world. An entrepreneur with a startup company in Beijing can take his business global. An NES professor in Moscow can collaborate with colleagues at Harvard or Stanford. That’s good for all of us, because when prosperity is created in India, that’s a new market for our goods; when new ideas take hold in China, that pushes our businesses to innovate; when new connections are forged among people, all of us are enriched

Whew, dodged why the real estate bubble burst.. feed em dreams.. and NEVER mention our economy is so corrupt at this point that on top of many hundreds of billions of taxpayers dollars given away to shore up the banks who blew the economy  to bits with their greed, it is required the real estate foreclosures go on to keep on shoring up the housing industry, so those re-sold homes can shore up a government backed ponzi scheme feeding secret Swiss accounts while my treasury secretary in collusion with my Department of Justice managed a deal with the criminal president of Switzerland for American criminal fortunes to be kept secret with the case settled out of court and a tax evasion amnesty for those few criminals who were caught

“There is extraordinary potential for increased cooperation between Americans and Russians. We can pursue trade that is free and fair and integrated with the wider world. We can boost investment that creates jobs in both our countries, we can forge partnerships on energy that tap not only traditional resources, like oil and gas, but new sources of energy that will drive growth and combat climate change. All of that, Americans and Russians can do together

Provided my holy rolling Pentecostal White House Faith Director and gas and oil stock holding CIA aligned secret Swiss account bible thumper generals don’t blow up your young world

“Now, government can promote this cooperation, but ultimately individuals must advance this cooperation, because the greatest resource of any nation in the 21st century is you. It’s people; it’s young people especially. And the country which taps that resource will be the country that will succeed. That success depends upon economies that function within the rule of law. As President Medvedev has rightly said, a mature and effective legal system is a condition for sustained economic development. People everywhere should have the right to do business or get an education without paying a bribe. Whether they are in America or Russia or Africa or Latin America, that’s not an American idea or a Russian idea — that’s how people and countries will succeed in the 21st century

Within the same rule of law I trash with my treasury secretary arranging with the Swiss president to protect concealed illicit fortunes, and because the rule of law must be honored is why I approve my justice department concealing and refusing to prosecute Bush crimes and why I don’t honor outstanding arrest warrants with extradition of criminal CIA agents to Germany, and why my Attorney General falsely prosecutes a whistle-blower who followed the rules when he revealed billions wasted in a corrupt program that spies on Americans in violation of our civil liberties, because I believe in the rule of law

“And this brings me to the fourth issue that I will discuss — America’s interest in democratic governments that protect the rights of their people

Oh yes, and that is why I’ve carried on the Bush legacy of trashing our Bill of Rights, because the USA is a democratic government which protects the rights of its people, and that is why my USA intelligence services assassinate American citizens world-wide, not only kidnap and deliver to torture foreign nationals, and that is why CIA Director Panetta had to confess to Congress the CIA has “outright lied” to the people in charge of oversight about CIA activities.. and specific to that, that is why there has been an exclusion to executive order 12333 banning assassinations- an exclusion made for U.S. Citizen Ronald West on account of his non-violent political dissidence employing considerable investigative skills and satire, because of “America’s interest in democratic governments that protect the rights of their people”

“By no means is America perfect. But it is our commitment to certain universal values which allows us to correct our imperfections, to improve constantly, and to grow stronger over time. Freedom of speech and assembly has allowed women, and minorities, and workers to protest for full and equal rights at a time when they were denied. The rule of law and equal administration of justice has busted monopolies, shut down political machines that were corrupt, ended abuses of power. Independent media have exposed corruption at all levels of business and government. Competitive elections allow us to change course and hold our leaders accountable. If our democracy did not advance those rights, then I, as a person of African ancestry, wouldn’t be able to address you as an American citizen, much less a President. Because at the time of our founding, I had no rights — people who looked like me. But it is because of that process that I can now stand before you as President of the United States

That is why the corporate monopolies history of the USA is repeating itself, and why rapacious oil and gas corporations like Chevron hire Blackwater CIA veteran mercenaries to infiltrate political organizations and assassinate persons opposed to their corporate rule of people while my Department of Justice looks the other way, and why a bible thumper retired marine corps general who believes Muslims are the children of Satan has been my National Security Advisor and came to his job direct from Chevron Corporation board of directors.. just like Condoleezza Rice had become National Security Advisor for Bush.. direct from Chevron.. and that is why a culturally White, Black Chicago politician can dump his congregation of twenty years for a culturally White, Black Pentecostal White House Faith Director with a political science degree who is cozy with bible fascist Rick Warren who believes our secular rule of law is a sin against god, so I can say this next lie..

“So around the world, America supports these values because they are moral, but also because they work. The arc of history shows that governments which serve their own people survive and thrive; governments which serve only their own power do not. Governments that represent the will of their people are far less likely to descend into failed states, to terrorize their citizens, or to wage war on others. Governments that promote the rule of law, subject their actions to oversight, and allow for independent institutions are more dependable trading partners. And in our own history, democracies have been America’s most enduring allies, including those we once waged war with in Europe and Asia — nations that today live with great security and prosperity

That is why we had to create a department of homeland security that has put National Security Agency spies in charge of civilian ‘cyber-security’ and why my nation’s economy is collapsing and why my economic policies threaten the entire world’s economic stability, and why I shield Bush cronies from answering to crimes against my nations Citizens, my nations constitution and crimes against citizens of other nations in international law, so I could stand here and say that bald-faced political lie- because I support governments that promote the rule of law

“Now let me be clear: America cannot and should not seek to impose any system of government on any other country, nor would we presume to choose which party or individual should run a country. And we haven’t always done what we should have on that front. Even as we meet here today, America supports now the restoration of the democratically elected President of Honduras, even though he has strongly opposed American policies. We do so not because we agree with him. We do so because we respect the universal principle that people should choose their own leaders, whether they are leaders we agree with or not

Actually I’m only saying this because I dare not give Hugo Chavez the high ground on that one.. and because my out of control CIA imposed Latin America banana republic game is not played out and I will have to eat my words when people read Ron West’s lampoon of this speech a year from now.. but hoping no one in the USA will remember this pack of lies I’m feeding you today

“And that leads me to the final area that I will discuss, which is America’s interest in an international system that advances cooperation while respecting the sovereignty of all nations

Like respecting the sovereignty of the nations with outstanding arrest warrants we refuse to extradite CIA criminals to, to answer for crimes against those nations sovereignty

“State sovereignty must be a cornerstone of international order. Just as all states should have the right to choose their leaders, states must have the right to borders that are secure, and to their own foreign policies. That is true for Russia, just as it is true for the United States. Any system that cedes those rights will lead to anarchy. That’s why we must apply this principle to all nations — and that includes nations like Georgia and Ukraine. America will never impose a security arrangement on another country. For any country to become a member of an organization like NATO, for example, a majority of its people must choose to; they must undertake reforms; they must be able to contribute to the Alliance’s mission. And let me be clear: NATO should be seeking collaboration with Russia, not confrontation

That is why we have been pushing Georgia’s NATO membership on your borders and in your face, and why the USA armed, and militarily trained, and put an American educated stooge in charge of Georgia who attacked and attempted to occupy South Ossetia, which has been historically a part of Russia for much, much longer than Texas has been a part of the USA, because I believe in secure borders, and that is why my Secretary of State promotes the propaganda and political lie of South Ossetia as “Russian occupied”, promoting anarchy and instability on Russia’s border, because state sovereignty must be a cornerstone of international order

“And more broadly, we need to foster cooperation and respect among all nations and peoples. As President of the United States, I will work tirelessly to protect America’s security and to advance our interests. But no one nation can meet the challenges of the 21st century on its own, nor dictate its terms to the world. That is something that America now understands, just as Russia understands. That’s why America seeks an international system that lets nations pursue their interests peacefully, especially when those interests diverge; a system where the universal rights of human beings are respected, and violations of those rights are opposed; a system where we hold ourselves to the same standards that we apply to other nations, with clear rights and responsibilities for all

That is why the USA does not belong to the International Criminal Court and why the USA does not prosecute, but rather conceals Bush era crimes, and my justice department falsely prosecutes whistle-blowers who broke no laws, and why a former American oil company lobbyist that happens to be the world’s top drug lord with CIA mercenary army protection can elect himself president of American occupied Afghanistan with stuffed ballot boxes, because we hold ourselves to the same standards we apply to other nations

“There was a time when Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin could shape the world in one meeting. Those days are over. The world is more complex today. Billions of people have found their voice, and seek their own measure of prosperity and self-determination in every corner of the planet. Over the past two decades, we’ve witnessed markets grow, wealth spread and technology used to build — not destroy. We’ve seen old hatreds pass, illusions of differences between people lift and fade away; we’ve seen the human destiny in the hands of more and more human beings who can shape their own destinies. Now, we must see that the period of transition which you have lived through ushers in a new era in which nations live in peace, and people realize their aspirations for dignity, security, and a better life for their children. That is America’s interest, and I believe that it is Russia’s interest as well

Oh, my [lying] rhetoric soars, now, be impressed and eat this frosting

“I know that this future can seem distant. Change is hard. In the words of that NES student back in 1993, the real world is not so rational as on paper. But think of the change that has unfolded with the passing of time. One hundred years ago, a czar ruled Russia, and Europe was a place of empire. When I was born, segregation was still the law of the land in parts of America, and my father’s Kenya was still a colony. When you were born, a school like this would have been impossible, and the Internet was only known to a privileged few

Change is hard, that is why I lied through my teeth to the American people during my election campaign, because I am a Chicago politician and change is hard.. that is why I stabbed “hope” and “change” in the back, because I am a Chicago politician and change is hard.. and that is why I am lying to you.. because change is hard

“You get to decide what comes next. You get to choose where change will take us, because the future does not belong to those who gather armies on a field of battle or bury missiles in the ground; the future belongs to young people with an education and the imagination to create. That is the source of power in this century. And given all that has happened in your two decades on Earth, just imagine what you can create in the years to come

Yeah, you decide, suckers. After I am out of power and the next lying Chicago politician visits.. if there is a world left behind for you, “Left Behind” [google that Pentecostal fantasy book series] by my bible thumping Pentecostal White House Faith Director and holy rolling generals

“Every country charts its own course. Russia has cut its way through time like a mighty river through a canyon, leaving an indelible mark on human history as it goes. As you move this story forward, look to the future that can be built if we refuse to be burdened by the old obstacles and old suspicions; look to the future that can be built if we partner on behalf of the aspirations we hold in common. Together, we can build a world where people are protected, prosperity is enlarged, and our power truly serves progress. And it is all in your hands. Good luck to all of you. Thank you very much

No thanks to you at all, Obama, you lie too much

A note on this speech of Obama [sans italics] would be the Russian students were really very much unimpressed.

Probably the most interesting thing to me relating to political lies is how the masses of lawyers remain largely silent as our constitution is altogether circumvented by the Congress these days making any law they see fit without regard for the necessary constitutional amendment process that would make their many unconstitutional laws authentic law, this is even more striking to me than a supreme court writing color of law [counterfeit] decisions such as ‘Citizens United’ for which every justice who voted in the majority should be impeached. But when career criminals like John Yoo, author of ‘torture is legal’ memos for our Department of Justice, are subsequently employed as constitutional law professors at our most prestigious universities, it is suddenly understandable, and money talks politics and politics puts judges on the bench and keeps them there, and any court which need not fear impeachment, need not fear to make a mockery of our foundational law

A prime example of this chicanery is Robert Gates this week giving himself cover by asking Congress to repeal the patently unconstitutional ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ legislation. In fact were congress to repeal ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’, there would no longer be a case for the courts to strike down ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ and no precedent set for the courts ordering the military to behave within constitutional boundaries, a ruling he knows his neanderthal religious extremist Generals belonging to the “Officer’s Christian Fellowship” would flip their middle fingers at with a campaign of officially sanctioned harassment, giving the Military Religious Freedom Foundation more ammunition pointing to cavalier disregard of our soldiers rights, on top of the present widespread force-fed right wing Christian extremism pushing our wars as religious crusades presently shoved down our troops throats [and all that on top of the epidemic military rape of American woman soldiers covered up by a command structure which has gone so far as to order a top military expert on sexual abuse not to testify to Congress]

In fact were the presumed Commander-in-Chief Obama, ostensibly a constitutional law professor, to possess both integrity in constitutional law and personal courage as a politician, he would simply order his military to drop ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ and challenge the Congress to take his decision to court where the Congress should properly lose on 14th Amendment grounds. But cowards do not meet religious right extremists head on, even when the religious extremists are a marked minority and on the wrong side of the law, and that is just one example of how “Change” and “Hope” gets stabbed in the back and why the people did not cover Obama’s back in the 2010 mid-term elections

A post script to everyone who voted for the tea party candidates: already the tea party so called ‘leadership’ is opposing campaign finance reform meant to take out the multiple millions unrestricted corporate money buying elections, so your betrayal is already arrived and your turn will be coming next week’s blog: ‘If the Left are sheep, the Right are fish’

phucuuu | phuc•uuu |ˈphucjuː

noun ( pl. –s )

a nocturnal, highly vocal lizard that has adhesive pads on the feet to assist in climbing on smooth surfaces. It is indigenous to coastal regions of Vietnam. • Gekkonidae family

ORIGIN middle 1960s.: imitative of its cry.

The Lizards of Vung Tau (or The Great Phuc Uuus Massacre)

Iraq bothered me because I was certain my eldest son would go [he did not]… a peacekeeper veteran of Bosnia in the Guard. Iraq also bothered me because it seemed we had learned nothing POLITICALLY as a result of Vietnam. Our Vietnam deep involvement was engineered by our combined military/State Department/CIA/corporate industrial complex profit motive with the phony ‘Gulf of Tonkin’ incident… a remarkably false event sharing the identical value of political deceit found in our accusations of Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and Al Qaida ties… one million dead Iraqi civilians later, this is all a part of process in my head, a process not entirely set aside from multiple attempts on my life for my combined life experience and politic- going to military intelligence and psy-ops skills… not only my successes as an investigator. The bottom line is this: It is all about money, a corporate share-holder orgy in government and, now days, with the beyond ‘orwellian’ twist of religious fanaticism, Christian fanaticism and corporate Christian driven Islamic fanaticism thrown in and moving on to Afghanistan.. it all brings me back to Vietnam

I remember the Medal of Honor winner who would not cut his hair for Nixon at his White House ceremony after leaving the Army, he’d told the press “I was stoned and I freaked out”… relating to his acts of heroism. I wonder what our ‘Bible Patriots’ of today’s American military’s 15,000 strong fundamentalist “Officer’s Christian Fellowship” would think of him? Maybe they would spit on him like the rumors had of our returning Vietnam Veterans experience?? That never happened to me…

Our Veterans service organizations drive off members with their redneck social ignorance and drunken bar scene of regaled war glory, lives and years past, in utter disdain of persons like myself, providing no sober and peace devoted alternative… “blessed are the peace makers”, Jesus wasn’t talking about Colt revolvers… and they can get you psycho money, as your veteran adovocates, with their fill in the blank (your name) forms requesting disability reviews for physical and/or mental disability

Funny how that psycho rating climbs but not the rating for physical disability even with your health deteriorating as you help Native Americans win successes against corporate criminals… corporate criminals who counterfeit compliance to the law to steal Indian resources… corporations like Chevron with Condoleezza Rice sitting on the board of directors… while government attorneys with names like Yoo fix things on the inside

I did not appreciate having to go to the same major university medical center the Veterans Administration sends it schizophrenics to be studied, for my evaluation, and pay quite a bit of money out of pocket to get a clean bill of mental health and undo their label ‘psycho’… how would they turn my clean result down? They could not. Our labeling and persecuting political enemies had been a bit more careful than that of the old Soviet Union… our more effective dissidents are quietly murdered, typically with difficult to detect poisonings meant to look like natural deaths, or arranged accidents when they cannot be discouraged or discredited. Very likely people such as Karen Silkwood and Paul Wellstone, not only Omar Torrejos…

And then you have veterans peace organizations driving off (with their socialist drivel) people who’d otherwise be members, leftists who won’t work with the conservative anti-war folk to push change for our common secular sanity and very life survival

Our grassroots reform culture, liberal and conservative, seem like a couple that always fight, gossip and consequently turn off the neighbors… to the wealthy corporate criminals’ advantage and life is a drama like some morbid reality show, when in fact this essay is a fair glimpse of a very present reality in relation to reality past… we are NOT learning from our mistakes and uniting to force change in our politics, rather allowing the same players play the same subversions of our rule of law with their corporate criminal influence buying game in ever more dangerous gambits in an ever more dangerous world

The 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, 1972

I did not know anyone who went to church. Some undoubtedly did, but it was not pushed in our face. Our self-sobriquet in those days, the jumping junkies, was a barracks neurosis of fitness, drugs and frequent lockdowns. A murderous collective killing machine to face in battle, no doubt, despite numerous soldiers whose life was a cocktail of fitness and drugs… men that easily could win commendations or medals for valor, ‘freaking out while stoned’, our training was that good, that had been demostrated by many of us already in Vietnam. No one I knew needed to be motivated to patriotism or simply do a good job as a soldier with mandatory Bible studies, the fundamentalist crap being force fed today’s troops. I’m getting ahead of myself in the story’s timeline, but I wonder how our Vietnam experience stacks up to today’s military’s fundamentalist Christian reality, my recollections are of a more honest military, or are just more honest… and certainly no less brave

Fort Lewis, 1969

In Indian country, where I am from, it is the size of your heart that counts. I was in two fights in basic training, and I did not start either of them. The first was picked by my trainee squad leader who thought he had to be a bully to lead. I did not back down. He was easily 1/3 larger than I, physical stature and weight. He won that fight, but I was not defeated and he knew it… I gave him far more than he ever could have expected, in fact about the limit he could handle, and showed no fear. He left me alone after that go round and stopped picking on people. He was smart enough to learn. The second guy I fought, closer to my size and none too bright, was put onto me by a bigger guy that did not want to take me on. I made short work of him. No one made us go to church.

Fort Rucker, 1969-1970

Your army gratitude for graduating the light observation helicopter maintainance class at the aviation school… which means you could be sitting on the back floor of a four seater, legs out the side, feet on the skids and with a machine gun in your lap, playing tease for a gunship you are partnered with in a ‘hunter-killer team’… is to be washing pots and pans in the school’s cafeteria while waiting for your assignment

West! Vietnam! I never saw the guy’s face, my orders appeared as papers clutched in a fist thrust through the slot for trays with dirty dishes… my reaction was a strange mix of adrenaline and sinking stomach… nobody was making us go to church

At Travis Air Force Base, 1970, shipping out

I’d heard of the Vietnam ‘fuck you lizards’ and took it to be an environmental psychosis, I did not, I could not, see this as anything short of a soldier’s urban legend. Lizards simply do not say “fuck you.” That was my naieve reality… and the fact is, no one was marching us to church. And lack of church is NOT why we lost Vietnam.

At Vung Tau, 1970-71

I’d been transferred to Vung Tau after six months inland as a member of the smallest combat assault aviation unit in Vietnam, I had been assigned to headquarters aviation at a brigade of elite light infantry shock troops. We were brutal to the enemy in combat AND unchurched. I’d never heard a ‘fuck you lizard’ so much as mentioned, let alone seen or heard one

It was on my first night shift guard duty at Vung Tau, I’d had smoked a joint of potent Vietnamese marijuana, that was normal by now, was settled in behind my small sandbagged breastwork for what I figured would be a boring night. And then, from ten feet behind me… clearly, and not meekly, a human voice had stated:

“Phuc uuu”

With every hair follicle on my body an instant goose bump, I spun 180 degrees and would have cut anyone standing there in half with my Colt automatic rifle… if someone had been there.

Now, worse than the non existent Viet Cong taunting me, the marijuana paranoia called the ‘noids’, began to work. I had completely forgotten about ‘fuck you lizards’ and my sanity was crumbling… no one at Vung Tau had warned me of this enemy because, for the soldiers already stationed there, this was ‘normal.’ I probably thought, ‘man, I should have gone to church.’

The lizard’s accent is like an American saying ‘fuck you’ through a kazoo, only 95% human and 5% kazoo… hence the perfect Vietnamese accent and spelling- ‘phuc uuu.’

It must have been the alpha male phuc uuus which were at times particularly vocal, a sort of major mucus throat clearing, before hurling the spitwad: “oh-aw-ickk-phuc-uuu-phuc-uuu-phuc-uuu”

The CIA propaganda teams trained the lizards, that and the fact of our Vung Tau Viet Cong phuc uuu  heroin smugglers, kind of makes me snigger at the idea of $500 million Taliban heroin profit claims… because it was phuc uuu reptiles dressed like ‘Men in Black’ delivering the heroin via the CIA’s “Air America” planes, to supply our Vung Tau addicted soldiers.

The Vung Tau Viet Cong phuc uuu lizards were selling our good food downtown, using U.S. Army trucks to deliver, our soldiers had to buy their own food back to get a decent meal, sort of making me laugh at the thought of our ‘Christian’ military leaders pointing fingers to corruption in Afghanistan, following on Halliburton in Iraq

One of our cooks was so outraged at preparing the substituted friendly fire killed Water Buffalo for our meal, he made marijuana brownies for our phuc uuus (and went to jail saying oh-phuc)

The lizards took a cut of the taxi fares, from those taxis allowed to use the premium parking outside our base gate, the phuc uuus drove up the fares this way and our soldiers drove the taxis away from the gate with a wrist rocket and ball bearings, muttering: ‘phuking phuc uuus’

That got us all into trouble and we became the phuc uuus confessing in formation. Our phuc uuu 1st Sergeant: “I want the device and I want the responsible parties to step up front and center!” From the back of the formation: “Phuc uuu.” That came from my squad and suddenly the 1st Sergeant was at the rear of our formation, in my face, “West! Who said that!!” From the front of the formation came the words: “Phuc uuu.”

The ‘Biggus Diccus’ scene in Monty Python’s “Life of Brian” HAD to have been inspired by the “phuc uuus” in formation at Vung Tau

And the one guy I knew of in our company who’d ever gone to church, our Jesus freak, was a good guy, but by far most of us knew no piety at all and we did great work rebuilding the war torn helicopters

At Camp Frenzel-Jones (Long Binh) 1970

We called him O, no kidding, simply that, O. Behind his back some called him Psych-O, one of his helicopter combat team-mates had told me O became sexually aroused in combat.  I thought that was interesting but who cared? O was a killer and a good one and, that was premium in our business

But killers, in the military, not only on the street, must be managed, like the time I was driving an errand and O had wanted to come along because it was along the route where he could buy good opium laced marijuana cigarettes. Coincidentally, these were commonly called ‘o-jays’ by the soldiers, rather fitting…  I stopped at the small business stand on the highway between Long Binh and Saigon where O made his purchase, I’d gotten out of the truck and was checking things out when O’s eyes suddenly seemed to roll up behind his lids and come up again from below, a different person… he had pulled a 38 caliber pistol from his pocket and was about to shoot his drug dealer for short changing him when I stepped between them, pushed O’s arm holding the pistol away while making eye contact and saw recognition registering as I told him “Get in the truck O, we’re leaving…” I was not a serious pothead, just curious

O was a 50 caliber door gunner on a Bell UH-1-H model helicopter converted to a gunship, a frightening killing machine packing O’s 50 Cal, as well there was a modified XM-27 ‘mini’ gun system: a large volume, multiple barrel, high speed modern 7.62mm crew directed Gatling gun driven by an electric motor- a grenade launcher was onboard, also assorted hand grenades that could simply be dropped out of the aircraft by the crewmen (our crews flew with the doors removed), these included fragmentation and ‘white phosphorus’ grenades… a white phosphorus grenade dropped into enemy positioned using jungle canopy for cover can be especially effective in panicking and flushing targets into open space where they are easy kills. I don’t recall we were ever taught this was a war crime violating Geneva Conventions, or maybe it was not banned yet, but I doubt it would have mattered… it was about killing the armed enemy in combats and it was called ‘whatever works.’

Being good killers does not come naturally to just anyone, and most of us, unlike O, had to learn. Many learned to kill by learning to hate. I recall one of my fellow soldier’s laughing about having dropped a CS (tear) gas grenade on a buddhist funeral procession as they flew over at low level… I thought that was pretty mean but it was emotional survival to him, he had learned to hate the “Gooks” in order to feel right about killing them. He might still be maintaining his hate and emotional survival by telling war stories while drunk in a Veterans of Foreign Wars club.

None of the soldiers I knew believed our political leaders godless communist enemies were ‘children of satan’ we could indiscriminately kill, families included… that is happening now days with our special operations in Afghanistan… Our Vietnam soldiers accepted surrenders and I never knew of any murder of civilians other than the My Lai massacre and the murder I prevented. But our crews did have lots of those ‘feels right’ hate opportunities to do things like drop tear gas on outdoor weddings and funerals.. because we flew just above treetop level most of the time… in order to be a brief and fleeting target away from any unexpected enemy groundfire

Back at Vung Tau

I don’t know or cannot recall who began it. Maybe it was a soldier snapped and said “I’ll show you fuck you!” It was after dark, on a weekend. Between thirty and forty of us had not gone to town on pass because we had no money or simply did not care to. The numerous phuc uuus were especially vocal that night. Someone had found a stick and began killing the phuc uuus and the soldiers suddenly mobilized as though ordered to the attack and went on a lizard killing rampage. Flashlights were brought out. More and more killing sticks were located. It went on for maybe two or three hours, until a living phuc uuu could not be found. Lizard bodies were everywhere

If there was anything we could have learned in Vietnam, it is: even the lizards were meant to hate us.

Please support the Military Religious Freedom Foundation – the organization which has exposed the 15,000 Christian extremists in the “Officers Christian Fellowship” drive to turn our wars into a literal Crusade and are the greatest threat to world peace and human survival in history (it ain’t just the left on the side of sanity folks, sane conservatives DO exist, but of course the political Left would prefer to whine to death before they’d admit that)

Last updated 7 June 2011- updates are at the bottom of the article

The New York Times on the WikiLeaks Afghan war documents release:

“It is sometimes unclear whether a particular incident report is based on firsthand observation, on the account of an intelligence source regarded as reliable, on less-trustworthy sources or on speculation by the writer. It is also not known what may be missing from the material”

“The unfiltered intelligence and incident reports are sometimes consistent with data released to the public. But the archive is clearly an incomplete record of the war. It is missing many references to seminal events”

This [above] is absolutely consistent with methodology using a select collection of authentic documents employed to deceive as described in “The Secret Team” by Colonel Prouty, former Joint Chiefs of Staff/CIA liason. Colonel Prouty pointed out the Pentagon Papers had been a deliberately engineered psy-ops operation to shift political responsibility in the public eye for the colossal intelligence and policy failures in Vietnam, stating the Pentagon Papers are:

“unreliable, inaccurate and marred by serious omissions. They are a contrived history

Welcome to a cyber-age WikiLeaks repeat of a 40 year old social deceit

This psy-ops trick does not conceal the policy failures, that cannot be done. What is actually happening here is a deliberate twist put on the facts to further the political agenda of one party undermining another party with dirty tricks. The Afghanistan effort had actually only begun coming apart at the seams [as documented in my blog over the past two years] since it became apparent Obama would become president

Now up to his neck in a mess engineered to sink him, the timing of this manipulated documents history released by WikiLeaks is sweet for the neo-con engineers of the professionally engineered psy-ops project: Mid-term elections. It will not get progressives to vote for neo-cons but is intended to undermine liberal support for their candidates while the right wing will be motivated to support theirs. Meanwhile Obama marches forward with Secret Team [also known as “FAMILY”] CIA career criminal Robert Gates directing operations. Narcissism is a blinding thing and the criminal element in our neo-con run military intelligence employing psy-ops operations, enabling taking political advantage of people like Obama, are having a field day. This operation is clearly designed to cause social and political upheaval undermining the administration [not that I am particularly sympathetic to this administration, people who reads my essays know I am not, I’m pointing out what I see going on from my knowledge and training]

What should Obama do? Clearly, if he wishes to survive, he fires Gates and his Generals and begins getting out of Afghanistan NOW, particularly because this entire affair’s timing has buried former Bush CIA director Michael Hayden (a neo-con general) having stated attacking Iran is presently pushed to top of the CIA/neo-con agenda- which certainly will bring world social chaos and possibly nuclear war, playing to neo-con consolidation of control through disaster with emergency dictates and security measures

The virtue of patience is rewarded in the business of countering counter-intelligence, the web of deceit employing disinformation called psy-ops to put spin on the reality of facts which cannot be otherwise concealed. With a certain training and identifiable targets, the sniper out to target liars only need wait for a mistake to be made. People who lie to the public to serve an agenda of the corporate powerful’s intelligence agencies have made their first mistake already- in servicing and promoting dishonesty in humanity which leads to their inevitable coming into focus in a snipers scope. Truth is unforgiving. Liars cannot forever cover their tracks because of the very laws of physics, if for no other reason, and I am pleased to take this shot at wikileaks founder Julian Assange

“The Independent on Sunday” since 1990 “Free from party political ties” & “free from proprietorial influence” has demonstrated this 18 July 2010 it is not free of being ‘used like a stooge’ and interviewed the disingenious Assange who very nicely blew his cover to bits on record without himself or the newspaper even realizing it [read article]

My advice to the Independent is to hire a former military intelligence man with a sense of despise for his former profession when pursuing these sorts of interviews (no, I am not available, I only want a girlfriend and bungalow in the country at which time I will be happy to walk away from this entire business ;o)

“The U.S. has wanted him for questioning since March” so what on earth is he doing in Britain whose intelligence agencies are so in bed with USA intelligence, the two countries should be treated for sex addiction? British intelligence has repeatedly fought British courts and judges over state secrets revealing British involvement in USA kidnapping and torture on the pretext it would jepoardize “intelligence sharing with the CIA” on top of have a “no proof needed” extradition treaty- if the CIA actually wanted Assange, they had him, right there. Assange was in England (unmolested) to lecture at an investigative journalists forum.

Assange: “I’m constantly annoyed people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11

Lets have a former United States Army General of “Intelligence” speak to that:

Major General Albert Stubblebine [watch video]

Assange’s “I’m constantly annoyed people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11” sounds like exactly the message a CIA seeking “FAMILY” military/industrial corporate control through staged disaster would run: in a counter-intelligence psy-ops operation promoting disinformation at an investigative journalists forum: ‘Don’t look any closer at 9/11’

Do I think the CIA was behind 9/11? I don’t know. But when we are told by the presently famous ‘web journalist’ and founder of wikileaks to ignore the obvious (taking an even more conservative approach than General Stubblebein in the video) such as building #7 (nothing hit building 7) having been brought down by classic and highly professional implosion or demolition technique, I think we need to look more closely at BOTH: 9/11 and the famous guy telling the world’s investigative journalists ‘don’t look any closer at 9/11’

Assange states “everyone’s email is being read” and accordingly advises ‘leaking the old fashioned way’ with a “drop to the post office box”

NO-no-no Julian Assange, it does not work like that unless you wish to do intelligence agencies like the CIA a big favor- the daily 1.6 billion “everyones” email collected by American intelligence cannot be read, it is a logistical impossibility. Text extraction computing software is imperfect and pick ups by far more false leads than real leads and ‘read mails’ of those people singled out for surveilliance [like myself] can read by more than one country’s agencies, including law enforcement [a fact for which I am personally pleased] and that is how, among other things, Italian law enforcement can bring down a criminal CIA rendition

It is actually much easier for intelligence agencies to track the physical mail system. It leaves tangible clues: postmarks, finger prints, DNA.. whereas the experienced someone who is keen not to be monitored or discovered while whistle-blowing crimes [unlike myself, I do not need to conceal my identity] working inside/outside the system will leak with a untraceable to the source used or stolen laptop at a wireless café where one can create an online email account in minutes, attach, upload and send documents in a few minutes more, abandon the mail account, wipe the drive, destroy and dispose of [dumpster] the computer and never frequent that particular wireless café again. Another means is upload from a parked car sitting in the street, having found a random open wireless signal and DO NOT leak to WikiLeaks

Trained intelligence people know this. Trained counter intelligence people would also want Julian Assange putting out the word to use physical a P.O. Box to leak, so they can better track leaks to their source. Assange profiles for CIA and by the way, someone else who thinks Assange is in bed with intelligence is Wayne Madsen

Another hole in Assange’s story is the frequent moving and ‘safe houses’ coupled with his statement “Is it in the interest of the CIA to assassinate me? Maybe. But who would do it?” Firstly, frequently moving largely increases the successful possibility of assassins with the CIA’s resources- particulary moving from country to country with close CIA ties (Britain for instance) because it vastly enlarges the range of possibilities for coordinating a successful hit operation. But if you are CIA as I expect Assange is, it is not a problem in any case except again, everyone proving sympthetic to Assange by providing ‘safe houses’ has given themselves up to intelligence and does not even realize it- on top of the absurdity of believing the safe houses would not be monitored and known by MI5 & and MI6 who would in any case be interested and has information sharing arrangement with CIA.

By comparison, I had confined myself to approximately a 2 square km area with limited access for a year and a half in a country with a healthy suspicion of British intelligence and by extension the CIA. Accordingly I’d made it exceedingly difficult for ‘hostiles’ to make a hit without detection and, insofar as Assange’s “who would do it?” one only has to read my blogs. A Sabrina DeSousa would do it. A Gary Berntsen would do it. And they would do with an agency or corporate support team. The very fact of Assange’s being alive and running freely around Britain demonstrates the CIA’s actual disinterest in taking him out of public circulation with a hit AND the Pentagon’s disinterest in bringing Assange into custody for questioning.

As for Assange’s not caring about sources but only the documents authenticity, one only need read how the CIA uses authentic documents to pursue a public disinformation [psy-ops] agenda through leaks with the so-called “Pentagon Papers” as detailed by a former Colonel of Intelligence who worked supporting the CIA [Colonel Fletcher Prouty, author of The Secret Team]

I compare Julian Assange to Daniel Ellsberg and that is NOT a good thing despite popular legend. Who is Daniel Ellsberg? According to a former top USA intelligence officer [L Fletcher Prouty] writing about the so-called ‘Pentagon Papers’

“As you may recall, this treasure trove of TOP SECRET papers was delivered to the New York Times, and other newspapers in mid- June, 1971, by a then-unknown “Hippie” of that period. His name was Daniel Ellsberg. What few people have learned since that time is the fact that .. Daniel Ellsberg .. had worked in the office of International Security Affairs (ISA)”

So, Daniel Ellsberg, purported American dissident, got his start as an American intelligence officer. And? Leaked the ‘Pentagon Papers’ which Colonel Prouty describes as:

“unreliable, inaccurate and marred by serious omissions. They are a contrived history

Colonel Prouty goes on to note:

“that I had written parts of some of them [Pentagon Papers] proves that they were not genuine Pentagon papers, because my work at that time was devoted to support of the CIA”

The above [quotes] are from ‘The Secret Team’, a suppressed history of the CIA

Now, some 40 years later, we have the Pentagon in a manhunt for the founder of ‘wikileaks’ and this is just too rich to pass up-

Anyone who has ever encountered the ‘intelligence’ community from the inside [worked there] is bound to be a little freaked out, is probably paranoid, and likely demented if they did not get out at first opportunity after realizing just what goes on there, and then it is likely too late. My blogs are a little bit freaked out, somewhat paranoid, and absolutely demented at times but I try for the most part to keep ‘demented’ limited to satire for the sake of my overall mental health ;o)  All going to my past in ‘intelligence.’

Because in ‘intelligence’, particularly when it comes to counter-intelligence and psy-ops [psychological operations] truth is a relative thing and the problem with that is, truth being relative IS NOT healthy. It is not healthy for people and it is not healthy for society

Now, we have a cyber-age repeat of the ‘Pentagon Papers.’ What did the ‘Pentagon Papers’ episode serve to do? A professionally engineered psychological operation, it shifted, for the public consumption, responsibility for the colossal intelligence and policy failures in Vietnam, from the CIA to the military. In the end, only the CIA and their close friends in the military/industrial complex who profit from war, and those promoted CIA agents in military service cover, benefited. Accountability never happened

It really is that simple. Former [or current] intelligence agent Daniel Ellsberg, unwitting or witting, is the CIA generated ‘myth’ on whose axis that shift of responsibility was accomplished via the ‘Pentagon Papers’

Replay Afghanistan & wikileaks:

CIA agent Robert Gates [from the operational sector, rose to be director of CIA or DCI] took over Department of Defense for George W Bush and the incredibly narcissist [blind] Obama kept him on despite Gates’ relationship bordering on gay love with the Bush’ family. So what would you expect? They are all dirt-bags, left and right, so now the neo-con CIA via the Gates religious extremist controlled military, is going to release TONS of [legitimate] dirt on the ‘Obama’ foreign policy just in time to influence mid-term elections to the joy and satifaction of all lovers of family Bush or, that is to say to the purile  satisfaction of closet-sadistic-gay ‘jesus is coming’ neo-con philosophers and followers. All nicely arranged by the same people [CIA] who have sent Afghanistan to hell in a handbasket to undermine their president with their uniquely loyal to jesus patriotism, and they will present themselves as smelling like a rose by comparison to what they’ve just pinned with real documents on the [legitimately dirt-bag] Democrats

Here is how it profiles:

Julian Assange, wikileaks founder, got his start in the ‘Chaos Computer Club’ or ‘CCC’

Chaos Computer Club reeks of intelligence agency penetration, manipulation and control. If there were ever an open field invitation for CIA, KGB, STASI, et cetera, playing the game, this is it. Wikileaks credibility, from a standpoint of secure against counter-intelligence operations, dies right here, with the CCC association

“In 1989, the CCC was peripherally involved in the first cyberespionage case to make international headlines. A group of German hackers led by Karl Koch, who was loosely affiliated with the CCC, was arrested for breaking into US government and corporate computers and selling operating-system source code to the Soviet KGB.” -wikipedia

Now, this, above, is a bit of fine information.. or not. Intelligence, and particularly counter-intelligence, often take advantage of a truth, to create a lie

By the time of this incident [above] senior CIA operative Duane Clarridge had established a ‘counter-terror’ program in western europe over the same period of time ‘CCC’ had seen its operations established and grow. You can bet your bottom dollar ‘CCC’ has the acronym CIA and the name ‘Clarridge’ written into it. Chaos makes a fine third initial. That is likely why those guys who played ball with KGB were caught and arrested. Freelance is fine until you play ball with people we [CIA] may not like. Many CCC participants would not know of agency penetration, manipulation and at times, control

Meanwhile a felon/hacker who under any circumstance would be under surveilance by the USA authorities has ‘come forward’ and ‘warned’ the military about a military intelligence soldier’s leak to wikileaks including 160,000 pages of classified diplomatic cables and military documents the soldier has described as ‘criminal’ and pointing to Hillary Clinton particularly. This one, folks, stinks to high, high heaven. I find it difficult to sympathise with the soldier who most likely was profiled to leak [has a conscience] and deliberately provided opportunity to leak select for him documents by even worse neo-con criminals [yeah, they come even worse than Hillary although she is REALLY BAD], because:

CIA stooge |c|i|a|stoōj|

noun

1 professional- an ignorant person who unknowingly serves to support or assist CIA in doing unpleasant work : he fell for that CIA psy-ops act and now are their manipulated stooge [aka ‘fish’ or ‘sucker’]

• element of a psy-ops counter-intelligence operation employed to release damaging documentation in deliberately engineered context to undermine political enemies, employing persons ignorant of being used, effectively a ‘plant for a snitch’ [similar to ‘bait and switch’]

26 October 2010 update: If the WikiLeaks release of nearly 400,000 low level classified documents had been significant in uncovering a seminal issue the U.S. military command is truly concerned with keeping secret, or had the release been authentic in a sense of unscreened or unedited collection of documents, there would have been something had jumped out and made headlines worldwide: Covered up: More than 1/3 of American woman soldiers raped

8 December 2010 update: A close scrutiny of WikiLeaks points to a glaring error of missing rape reports on American woman soldiers in the Iraq war documents, an oversight showing a pre-screened documents collection. This single fact is the Achilles heel of the entire operation and factually shoots down every claim of WikiLeaks authenticity.

There can be no escaping what you claim is falsified, when in fact what you claim is demonstrably not there. WikiLeaks claimed unedited collection of Iraq war field reports. The many cases of American woman soldiers raped are not there but present in other sources.  The document collection had without question been tampered with prior to release. See the previous update of 26 October, with link to related article on the covered up epidemic rape of woman soldiers in the USA military. The documentary evidence is too strong to dismiss and yet is missing from the WikiLeaks release

So, now it turns out it is a woman with Cuban exile contacts claiming rape in Sweden. Her code name for this chapter in the WikiLeaks psy-op affair could be ‘Judas’ and her instruction to hang Assange out to dry. The CIA operational sector is infected with anti-Castro exiles to a point of gangrene

It’s time the WikiLeaks program has to be abandoned for the reasons: 1) Assange is out of control and 2) WikiLeaks has been reverse-engineering exposed by demonstrating what is MISSING as opposed to what is present in the leaks, it was an unanticipated development, but one that can gain traction if it is drawn to the attention of enough thinking people

Another red flag is Assange’s mother’s close relationship with the international branch of the ‘The Family.’ If you have any doubts this cult formerly known as ‘The Children of God’ is an associated cell of the organization centered at ‘C Street’ in Washington, DC, also known as “The Family” you only need know the “The Family” [Children of God] children’s choir sang every Christmas at the White House during the Reagan years, that is, until it was exposed for promoting child sex [a specialty of C Street personalities, for members of the Washington DC branch of “The Family” child rape is not a ‘sin’]

Almost certainly the ‘Children of God’ was at least partly born out of the CIA Monarch and MK ULTRA mind control programs which came to the America via USA [Washington, DC] ‘family’ members John and Allen Dulles who’d rescued NAZI war criminals from justice after World War II and employed them at the CIA. CIA projects Monarch and MK ULTRA used NAZI medical research techniques on children, including studies of mind-altered states in children in process of child rapes. Allen Dulles directed the CIA when projects Monarch and MK ULTRA were initiated and 99% of project records were destroyed by the CIA when the program was investigated by Senator Frank Church in the 1970s

Assange is tied directly into the worst of the American neo-con religious-extremist fascist cult that has become international and has been since his childhood. Their program is power over the world, initially through chaos, and then consolidation of power via a religious-extremist controlled police state to bring order out of chaos. The avenues employed are anything that works, including providing child sex and subsequent blackmail. WikiLeaks is a major contributor to chaos, justifying growing national militarization and security apparatus, all the while “Family” aligned politicians disingenuously protest WikiLeaks powerful service to their agenda. But compromised operations must be dismantled and covered-up as effectively as can be, it is a rule of the intelligence game.

The irony is classic. Framed by his own CIA operational sector contact to give credibility to another woman’s legitimate rape claim, taking Assange out of the game. He must have been going out of his wits since August, seeing what was coming and nowhere to turn, absolutely trapped. That’s what you get for sleeping with the devil [working for the CIA operational sector, the most criminal organization on earth]

Nice pedigree behind Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, eh?

30 December 2010 update: It is interesting media has noted the CIA has come through unscathed in the Department of State cables release. This points again to an intelligence ‘black’ psy-ops for the following reason: The Department of State and the CIA are siamese twins, that is State is the cover for every CIA station chief in the world, and many, many more undercover CIA agents use consular or diplomat status or are State employees in the face they present to the public. The top secret cables are compromising everything EXCEPT CIA operatives and operations. People in the Department of State using what they believed was a secure system would have compromised at least some CIA operations, even were the CIA using an altogether system- because people who believe they are secure in their communications are going to discuss these things conveniently, regardless of the system they are on, again, that is when they believe they are secure. People, when feeling secure, relax and are careless, it is human nature. This is one more indication of pre-screened and consequently deliberately skewed information via WikiLeaks

Note added 31 December 2010: I don’t agree with Gordon Duff on WikiLeaks in some regards, particularly in regard to MOSSAD as the primary player behind the operation, and hold the main people behind WikiLeaks are ‘Family’ neo-cons.

There are two possibilities in regards to this, the more likely is a ‘faustian’ relationship of ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ in cooperation with MOSSAD, and the other, less likely but more scary possibility is, Israel’s leadership is a neo-con or dominionist “Jews for Jesus” branch of ‘The Family’

The “FAMILY” is simply two big, too entrenched, and too well organized for this to be MOSSAD without at least tacit ‘Family’ cooperation. And “The Family” represents the largest single branch of Zionism in the world, theologically speaking, the neo-conservative right wing Christians, compromising about 35-40 million American “Christian Domionists”, see themselves as mandated by God to rule the world as the ‘chosen’ “Perfected in God’s sight Jews” as proposed by St Paul. And it is from this talent pool the ‘Family’ draws its members.

If WikiLeaks has cables compromising the CIA, why are they being held back?

Note added 11 January 2011- We have a ’sort of’ (non-sensical) answer to the previous question of cables being held back, simply pointing to the self-centered narcissism of Julian Assange. The 10 January 2011 International Herald Tribune [International Edition of the New York Times]  article ‘Twitter subpoena in WikiLeaks case’ states Assange’s ‘insurance file’ is an encrypted file of the unreleased cables downloaded by his supporters from around the world. So, the man claiming a principled stance on openness [and supposedly has gone forward with his work despite threat of assassination according the Independent interview of Assange referenced in my article, as well according to the Daniel Ellsberg video, linked above] is holding hostage by far the larger amount of cables as a ‘personal’ insurance and the key opening the files will supposedly be released if the Americans take him into custody. What an unprincipled coward in fact, if this were to be true, his principled stance dies right there. Compare that to the sacrifice of the duped Bradly Manning. I’d be rather wary of a trojan created by intelligence agencies, targeting Assange’s supporters, as much as expect to see previously unreleased cables, were the ‘key’ to the ‘insurance file’ released.

This is one I’ve pulled out of the archives and dusted off simply to demonstrate how LITTLE things have changed since Obama became president.. we are losing the Afghan war and Obama Attorney General Holder is continuing to shield Bush crimes against Muslims with the ’state secrets’ doctrine argued in the courts, crimes underlying the Afghan population’s alienation to the USA efforts, demonstrating Obama effectively continuing failed Bush policies – (the original composition date is 16 May 2009)

My former secular hero Roger Cohen I’d extolled in glory for his courageous stance as a Jew pointing to our Israel policy as a disaster, has ‘pulled a boner’ [exhibited extreme male cowardice] by jumping on Obama’s ‘don’t prosecute for torture’ bandwagon…

Roger needs a lesson in what the term “Rule of Law” is all about, and the idea constitutions make presidents, not vice versa, meaning our constitution informs Obama how things are going to be, and I will simply add to that a Writ of Mandamus is a court ordering public officials [could possibly include a president as military commander-in-chief and most certainly any attorney general] to carry out their constitutional duties to enforce the rule of law and it is a huge embarassment to American democracy when that particular legal weapon must be employed… second only to a consent decree… thought I’d note that before I consigned Roger to the booby hatch of legal ignominy with the distinct sound of a flush… bye-bye Roger… (Roger might crawl his way out of the sewer if he stays away from the ‘I knew it was wrong but thought it was legal’ sewage of Anglo-Saxon law, good lawyer joke, eh? ;) Law Ignoramus award.

FBI man Ali Soufan’s “Tortured Decision” editorial, in which he puts on his adopted country’s liberal-bleeding-White-heart sheepskin, admits keeping his mouth shut for seven years and only now speaks out because of the torture memos release… Soufan reveals there is more as yet unclassified memos… think about it. This is the FBI concealing crime for seven years and STILL CONCEALING EVIDENCE OF CRIME… enough on this bit before I aspirate my puke… a sort of self-simulated drowning… Soufan earns torturer/traitor/coward awards combined…

Renown ‘civil liberties’ lawyer Harvey Silvergate argues against torture prosecutions, claiming they will make bad law, he appears to rationalize/justify “terror and pain” short of “disfigurement and death”, making the case that Bush did not go as far as the Nazis, so it doesn’t seem so bad… now, going to his legal ignorance on top of his criminal ethics… his idea that: because the torturers supposedly did not know what they were doing was illegal on account of ‘Yoo Principle’ legal memos, they cannot be charged under our Anglo-Saxon laws heritage requiring criminal intent… sorry Harvey but you get the law proverb “a man who represents himself [in his editorial] has a fool for an attorney” award… because Harvey ‘nincompoop’ Silvergate goes on to mention the case of the Nazi trials where Americans at Nuremburg convicted people for crimes that seemed perfectly legal in a criminal regime, going to the primal International Law principle “no nation may go against it’s own acts”, also known as, ‘what is good for the goose is good for the gander’… more to this point, we also convicted Japanese of war crimes for waterboarding, perfectly fitting this International Law rule which now consequently holds our own people accountable despite the Anglo-Saxon ‘I knew it was wrong but thought it was legal’ principle of law which is now history, past, had been, was the case, in fact legally dead in cases like this, because of the precedent we set for ourselves in the prosecution of others… additionally, under the ‘the Silvergate nincompoop rationale’, a certain Nazi camp guard following orders in his assigned duties likely could not have been recently deported to Germany to face criminal charge. Silvergate earns a Nincompoop award.

Nancy Pelosi admits she knew the Bush administration was spying on (wiretapping) Rep Jane Harman and kept the treasonous secret (for the Bush people), from Harman, notice none of these people ever takes responsibility or shows courage? Pelosi: “I was not allowed to tell [Harman]“, what was to stop Pelosi telling the entire congress from her podium except cowardice? Pelosi awarded torturers trash the 4th amendment AND friendship ‘Judas’ special award

Obama Treasury Secretary Timothy ‘get out of jail free’ Geithner meets with President of Switzerland Hans Merz in apparent negotiations to excuse the Swiss bank UBS from having to fork over the names of 52,000 wealthy American tax cheats with secret Swiss accounts… anybody up for a game of “Monopoly?” Timothy just drew what should be a “Go to Jail” card… as he is giving out “Get out of Jail free” cards. Can’t be torturing the wealthy tax cheats with prosecutions… Torturer administration’s Equal protection clause Traitor award.

Robert Gates’ fundamentalist Christian led military is flaunting the legally binding security agreement Bush made with Iraq, conducting multiple illegal raids, killing and kidnapping Iraqi innocents… another operation was busted by the Iraqi government, the USA admits a ‘mistake’, the abductees had to be set free… the USA’s ‘Campus Crusade for Christ’ continues on the Iraqi front, not only escalates in Afghanistan, under Christian Dominion Central Command’s General Patreaus… who’d just as soon kill as torture. Federal death penalty elgible treason award.

Harper’s Magazine cover story “Jesus killed Mohammed” is out, detailing Robert ‘tonton macoutes’ Gates’ Christian military’s religion inspired hate crime against Islam, Jews, Blacks, Women, kids, cartoons and the author of this blog, but particularly noting constitutional law professor Obama, who swore on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible to uphold our constitution and enforce our laws, has abdicated taking on the constitutional crimes against separation of church and state in our military in his role as our commander-in-chief… meanwhile Obama is photographed in the International Herald Tribune together with Gates, evoking Tammy Wynette… “Stand by your man… give him two arms to cling to…” Loving Christians torture of Muslims for Jesus award

Former Attorney General Robert Kennedy had written a legal memo recommending lifting the travel ban to Cuba, noting the travel ban was unconstitutional, he was correct, American’s have a right to freely associate and travel, he was overuled by our torturing CIA infested Department of State which kept his memo classified as a state secret for 46 years… State Department gets a corporate service tortured law and treason award [unit citation]

New York Times columnist Roger Cohen takes another stride out of the cesspool of Anglo-Saxon law and the ‘I knew it was wrong but thought it was legal’ no criminal intent defense, by continuing to write on other subjects, maybe soon he will have access to a shower and change of clothes… in his editorial ‘Of loos and language’ (in almost excellent ‘dry’ British humor, ugh) Roger points out the most notable difference between Bush and Obama to now, is Obama can actually speak English… Kudos Roger!! Of course Roger’s title for his editorial could easily be pointed to this blog, no problem, ‘we’ (you know, the British royal use of ‘we’, as in I admit I’m being a royal asshole) welcome ratings ;o) my noting here Roger had pointed out to me he’d begun his journey out of the Anglo-Saxon ‘loo of law’ with a key title word in a previous editorial: ‘pirouette’ :) )

A Spanish judge has opened the fourth investigation in Spain going to Bush administration torture… two of the investigations had been previously dismissed or shelved, either for lack of evidence or because of political pressures from the USA. The two investigations opened since Obama taking office are now ongoing, the weaker one previous to this most recent had been opposed by Obama and the USA who have pressured Spain, and this new investigation poses the largest threat yet to his administrations ongoing ‘I knew it was wrong but thought it was legal’ ‘Yoo principle’ attempts to give the Bush people and his CIA criminals a get out of jail free card… the judge: “an authorized and systematic plan of torture and abuse of people stripped of liberty, without charges and denied the basic rights afforded detainees” and the court will “seek personal responsibility in the different structures of execution, direction and design and authorization for this systematic torture plan” which of course upon the judicial investigations completion I predict must include American leaders I will name in this blog, not only Bush and cronies but notably Nancy Pelosi… Obama given a treasonous torturing coward’s campaign star for having opposed these efforts…

Russia is retiring 23,000 military officers in a force ‘modernization’ reorganization, a course of action I highly recommend to Commander-in-Chief Obama (torquemada?) who should have already dumped the 15,000 USA armed forces officers belonging to the byzantine ‘Officer’s Christian Fellowship” that actually believe if you are not a fundamentalist Christian, every motivation you have, no matter how noble, is a subversion of humanity “spearheaded by satan”- torturers holy inquisition resurrection award

The cognitive dissonace of a case just dismissed at our Justice Department’s prosecutors request… some lobbyists for Israel that probably really deserve to go to jail for treason (espionage) can’t be prosecuted because the judge refused to go along with some of the prosecutions demands for state secrecy in evidence… now our crooks can get off the hook by demanding typical evidence discovery rights of defendants, something judges rightly should not deny, with defendant likely knowing there are so many worms in this particular case’s can of ‘justice’, the Justice Department dare not produce the can… our tortures the law Justice Department gets a ‘can of worms’ award

Retired British spook gets it, MI6 man Alastair Crooke (all financiers are in some sense crooks?, Crooke was a banker who left the industry because he did not like the greed before he was a spy), founded “Conflicts Forum” which seeks to establish the validity of opposing points of view for adversaries so they can honestly negotiate instead of “talking past each other.” Brilliant!! Now, to the disturbing thought his ‘Conflicts Forum’ raised when I read the article and discovered it includes “former spies, dipolmats and peace activists…” is the reporter/writer a moron or did he actually mean “former peace activists”… (context, dude, should have been ‘peace activists, diplomats and former spies, although ‘diplomat’ and spy’ are synonyms ;) journalism moron award, but bringing to mind:

One of our human rights organizations has been staffed by CIA in executive position, information I could be arrested and jailed for if I were to go so far as revealing ‘state secret’ identities… who are your CIA? Think about it. These are highly educated people who do 20 years or 30 years and retire to a sailboat or second job or both, depending on the USA retirement plan. Meanwhile, in the operational sector, they chill out under cover when not needed or even use straight jobs AS their cover. Not just a few of them are highly paid professional assassins. They are your diplomats, corporate board members, lawyers, educators (the pretty much out of the closet Rice/Chevron/Hoover Institute/Yoo/Stanford relationship can be seen), cops, FBI agents, pastors, human rights executives and journalists (that is just SO wrong), military officers, diverse corporate executives and employees, doctors, etcetera, normal seeming people afforded frequent vacations or travel frequently in their work… all cover for CIA. This is a socially criminal organization which has penetrated every aspect of society and should be disbanded, as easy as shutting off their money… Amnesty International earns the ‘we declined to meet with Ron West and rather wish he was dead’ human rights front for intelligence services award…

Hillary goes to press saying “I love my job” which actually can only mean ‘I love jobbing the millions of women who voted for me on social issues’, reiterating Hillary could have had any cabinet position she liked but chose one far away from any reality of insuring health care reform or putting forward an American ‘women’s rights’ stamp on this administration… woman Judas award

My buddy Roger Cohen at the New York Times reads the Harper’s Magazine article “Jesus Killed Mohammed”, poops his pants and pirouettes on his honest column of the previous week accurately dipicting Obama as differing from Bush only in the fact Obama can actually speak English… now Roger does journalistic fellatio on Obama’s foreign policy, ‘dripping’ praise for Obama’s differing approach contrasted to the factual “War on Islam” of Bush… neglecting to note the Harper’s article and Obama’s callow inability to take on Defense Secretary Gates’ religious extremist generals… in which case the “War on Islam” actually continues as a Bush/Obama policy… Bozo Boner award to Roger [male cowardice]

Roger returns to sensibility in his past two columns, dealing with peace in the middle east, recovering the pseudo of his manhood, but from here out I am going with Maureen Dowd over Roger’s PMS and mood swings, you just can’t know what to expect from Roger, I’ve been checking out Maureen and she is HOT! A better writer altogether, she has superior courage and took up the theme Roger had abandoned in his panic attack, Maureen, in her much more direct editorial “Cheney grabs a 3rd term” writes how it appears Cheney and Rumsfeld are making policy for their “boy toy” Obama ( good one ;o) Maureen Dowd earns a beauty, courage and truth award

Hamas leader Khalid Meshal on Obama: “His language is different and positive” earning Meshal a honorable mention ‘a sucker is born every minute’ award. Meshal (who to now the Obama administration will not include in any mid-east peace process at the insistence of Israel) and myself share the dubious distinction of having survived bungled intelligence service assassination attempts, Meshal poisoned by mossad at the orders of the Israeli prime minister Netanyahu.. multiple attempts on myself at the orders of the mossad/CIA/Department of Defense combined ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ rogue intelligence agents ‘in the service of our religious extremist super-friends alliance’… mossad/CIA and religious extremist super-friends alliance earn a Corporate-Star-Chamber/Curia-Borgia bungler assassins award

“As long as they don’t exclude any option, let the United States select the order of things,” Nobel Peace Prize winner Israeli President Shimon Peres states while dictating terms it’s banana republic USA may employ in exploring a new relationship with Iran… Peres making the point a bombing Iran “option” belongs to the USA first and then Israel will start the war the USA will have to fight [with USA armies on either flank of Iran] if the Americans won’t blow up the ayatollahs… after an Israeli dictated ‘what the USA policies will be’ meeting on nuclear weapons with Obama and we all know Israel will be using American weapons and money and any Israeli attack would be no different that the USA initiating hostilities from Iran and the entire Islamic world’s point of view- Nobel Peace Prize selection committee gets ‘pulled a boner’ award [made a stupid mistake]

USA hog farming giant Smithfield Corporation murders ‘Wilber’ of Charlottes Web, since they have moved into Romania, Smithfield has run roughshod over the environmental laws ill equipped to deal with the new mega-hog’s super-barns… as well in a mere four years they had driven the number of Romanian small pig operations from 477,000 to 52,000… with the impact felt as far away as African pig farmers who cannot compete with the sharp and sudden influx of cheap pork. Shareholders swine flu off-shore-tax-haven award, meanwhile, speaking of some real pigs:

Defense Secretary Gates’ ‘open fly’ boys, piloting bombers sporting JESUS SAVES logos on their ‘cock’pits, shred scores of kids and women in Afghanistan, like Mickey Mouse killing 70 giants at a single ‘blow’, AGAIN… even as Gates’ religious extremist generals are busted by Al Jeezera TV for lying about concerted effort in command structure promoting Christian proselytizing of Afghans… led by the U.S. Army Chaplains and fundamentalist friends working on saving the souls of those Muslim “children of satan” in a military that consequently blows the idea ‘Jesus loves the little children’ to bits with air strikes when the kids say ‘no thanks’…

Now, considering United States had planned, authorized and implemented torture, violating treaties we are signed to (never mind just how creepy that is) and that torture will now be altogether excused by our Department of ‘Just Us’ fundamentalist Christians (next paragraph)… no problem with the cover-up and denial of the USA’s ‘holy war’ crime that goes on, eh Commander-in-Chief Obama? Any guess why the Afghans might prefer the theology of the Taliban to the ‘liberation’ theology of your military?? Commander-in-Chief Obama- ‘I’m still standing behind my Christian Crusaders’ war crimes award

It’s come back to ‘I knew it was wrong but thought it was legal’ no criminal intent Anglo-Saxon law at Attorney General Holder’s Justice department… where waterboarding is torture but there is no crime involved… The Department of Justice, investigating itself, the same method the Israeli and American militaries use to insure they cannot discover evidence of war crimes or religious extremists and hate crimes that exist in it’s ranks… now the Justice department internal inquiry draft report finds ‘lapses but no crimes’ relating to the people preparing the ‘torture is legal’ memos, Obama’s Justice Department is determined EVERYONE will get off the hook, includes those who systematically planned, authorized, and implemented war crimes in the treatment of captives… welcome to the United States of Mugabe, Robert ‘tonton macoutes’ Gates in charge, all of Gates’ harem ‘boys’ curtsey to their polyandrous spouse… Gates- earns a Bugs Bunny in drag ‘gay wabbit’ award (that was a cruel rabbit, just ask Elmer Fudd)

‘queen’ Condoleezza (mirror, mirror on the wall) tells a student at a forum torture is: “legal by definition, if the president authorizes it”, and you just have to wonder at the Israeli philosophy of ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ because their’s has become a case of ‘with friends like these, who needs enemies?’ It is likely gonna be déjà vu for American Jews, not only the Jews in Israel, the American kneejerk support for Israeli policy, no matter how self destructive, is looking more and more like a case of the chickens headed home to roost when these “perfected in God’s sight Jews” [Ann Coulter, citing St Paul] fundamentalist Christians’ coup is complete and the “Christ killers” [U.S. military’s Officer’s Christian Fellowship ‘passion’ theology sobriquet for Jews] are told on ‘the waterboard’ to convert (as though that had not happened before, I’m writing from Spain) because Mel Gibson’s Latin ‘rite’ wing Pius X “pray for the Jews” is back in vogue at Rome where waterboarding makes sense, because the church can save the amazon this way, which the Pope has said is equally important to saving the world from homosexuals, rather than waste wood burning the Gays, Jews, Secular Humanists, Witches, women generally, kids that don’t behave, especially alter boys that talk, people who sue the church..  Condoleezza awarded the ‘president authorized it’ ‘Gangrene Heart’ lapel pin…

Another spook gets it, ex-CIA Kabul (Afghanistan) station chief Graham Fuller’s New York Times “Out of Afghanistan” editorial, where he makes the case the 40 million ethnic Pashtuns divided between Pakistan and Afghanistan are turning to the Taliban more as an expression of Pashtun power and independence under pressure from American military policy “drone bombings and assassinations” than any great love for Taliban politics… pointing out “Pashtuns are amoung the most fiercely nationalist, tribalized and xenophobic peoples of the world.” I hope Obama reads the paper because his Defense Secretary Gates’ fellow fundamentalist Christian and Obama National Security Advisor, former Chevron Board Director and Marine Corps General James ‘the reverend jim’ Jones, won’t be telling Obama these truths.. and Obama needs to think about the modern day number of FORTY MILLION of the same Pashtuns Alexander the Great could not defeat with superior weapons and training, and since Alexander had failed, no one has ever defeated the Pashtuns, Soviet Union included… Fuller wins a rehabilitation to truth award, a rare honor for CIA..

Speaking of CIA “drone bombings and assassinations”, I’d neglected to mention awhile back the Zirdari photo in the New York Times, Zirdari grinning like the cat that ate the canary with his wife out of the way, flanked by photos of Benazir Bhutto as though those photos were feathers of a bird clinging to the corners of his mouth… Zirdari sucks up to the CIA in ways Benazir never would have… Zirdari wins a ‘sucks up to the CIA at any price to bring me to power’ award

Obama’s National Security Advisor, Chevron Board Director and Marine Corps General James ‘the reverend jim’ Jones, continues using the press to step out of the shadow and draw attention away from the discredited Department of Defense relating to airstrikes that kill scores of kids and their moms… “we can’t fight with one hand tied behind our back”… gee, he just admitted he can’t nearly as effectively kill kids and women without airstrikes… meanwhile ‘Campus Crusade’ General David ‘a jihad for jesus’ Patraeus appoints a “one star general” to ‘study’ the airstrike massacres “problem”, you know ‘one star’ only has to please his fellow Christian extremist generals and ‘one star’ will become two… while a Pope who has rehabilitated the anti-semitic extremist ‘passion for pius x’ calls for tolerance even as the ‘passion’ inspired American special operations generate holy war… as Defense Secretary (de facto commander-in-chief by default actually) Robert ‘tonton macoutes’ Gates calls for a major revamp of our military to beef up those very special operations forces which are ideal for commiting war crimes under cover… Bonanza of torturing Bozos award

Constitutional law professor Obama takes the coward’s moral midget road and moves to block the release of war crimes photos ordered released by TWO courts, on behalf of his recent bosom buddy, the war criminal Defense Secretary Gates, oblivious to the ONLY means of defusing holy war with the Muslim world which is: to come clean and prosecute… the New York Times reporters continue to suck up to the incompetence in Afghanistan, writing on the war as though it were not yet the total fiasco it is, giving the war creedence by quoting generals who make an unwinnable war even more unwinnable than necessary… no one is asking the hard questions, ignoring how to win peace, like clearing out the religious extremism… meanwhile Congress “grumbles” as it prepares to ante up the hundreds of billions upon wasted trillons to keep it all going downhill… cluster of tortured boners award

The homophobic Boy Scouts of America’s “Explorer Scouts”, some as young as 14, are given anti-terror SWAT training by police who have to take online anti-sexual abuse courses, as though that would stop a pedophile, on account of past civil and criminal cases concerning police sexual abuse of the Explorer Scouts… Boy Scouts earn a closet-pedophile ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ award

Supreme Court Justice Scalia says he does not believe in legislative intent… now I really hate to spill scalding coffee on the bluge in Scalia’s lap, but if this is the case as he states, Scalia has a problem. There is this ‘thing’ in our Constitution called “unenumerated rights” and if Scalia can only read the language of the law itself without taking into account the legislative intent, those “unenumerated rights” must be forever “unenumerated” in which case they can never be “rights”… congress sent an idiot to the bench award

Sociopathic CIA agent in denial Sabrina De Sousa is wanted in Italy for kidnap and delivery to torture… this dufus 53-year-old-4-year-old-in-denial sues the USA for diplomatic immunity she is not elgible for in her former consular work (lawyers will try anything for money, in this case the dufus Sabrina’s money), denying she was a CIA agent, the case draws the media’s attention and they of course go to their sources who are also CIA and the sources blow it for her by saying Sabrina is CIA… HOW STUPID WAS THAT SABRINA? The interesting thing here is the State Department (Sabrina’s cover) sources saying they are trying to get the Italian case involving Sabrina shut down, hell yes, they are because this is the case where an Italian intelligence agency defendant brought out the information Condoleezza Rice was in charge of the USA’s delivery to torture program called ‘extraordinary renditions’. Interesting, I seem to recognize Sabrina from her photo, our paths had crossed in Germany? (remarkable, a perfect stranger SMIRKS at you in Wiesbaden, duh) Sabrina gets CIA bungler award

Which brings us back to Obama and Gates trying to shut down the photographic evidence of abuse by Americans ordered released by our courts… Obama’s statement (parroting the denial of Bush era) indicating isolated incidence “carried out in the past by a small number of individuals” is a bald-faced, through the teeth lie.   This is Constitutional law professor Obama’s assault on the rule of law in the tradition of John Yoo, because we know now this photographic evidence reflects only a few instance of a several agencies wide (CIA, Justice, Defense and State) program involving many hundreds of people and thousands of cases of war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, Black Sites and proxies, which in part have been described by a judge in Spain as “an authorized and systematic plan of torture and abuse of people stripped of liberty, without charges and denied the basic rights afforded detainees”   There is ONE WAY OUT of our war with Islam begun by Bush/Cheney, and that one way out is: GOOD FAITH PROSECUTIONS to stop the ONGOING religion motivated crime.

NOW…. Here are the CIA briefed American leaders who approved, initiated and/or pursued carrying out the torture program.   CIA briefers were then director George ‘torture’s’ Tenet and deputy director John Mc-Laugh-lin

Briefees included George ‘baby doc’ Bush, ‘big dick’ Cheney, ‘queen’ Condoleezza (mirror, mirror on the wall), Don ‘tin man’ Rumsfeld, and John ‘muslims are the children of satan’ Ashcroft, no surprizes there…

Colin Powell? Oops, his claim he was duped into presenting false intelligence info at the UN, justifying Iraq’s invasion, I think just turned into the kid run over by the ice cream truck…

Senate hawks Bob ‘cracker’ Grahm and Richard ‘confederate general’ Shelby, Florida and Alabama respectively, ok, perfectly straightforward right wing honkies, to be expected… no surprizes there either..

Congressman Porter ‘former director of CIA’ Goss, I’d be surprized if he had NOT been named, and:

NANCY ‘aeps’ PELOSI

If ever there were a doubt Nancy suffers ‘acquired ego-priapism syndrome’, I think it is safe to say now the diagnosis has been confirmed… AEPS, pronounced APES, as in ‘apes’ cowardly male behaviors…   Nancy is the surprize add to the list of war criminals the USA is obliged to prosecute according to our constitution’s ‘supremacy clause’ …“any treaty made shall be the supreme law of the land” unless of course Obama is going to jettison either our constitution or the torture treaty the USA is signed to…

So, constitutional law professor Obama, as Attorney General Holder plows through his medieval Anglo-Saxon medicine chest, looking for remedies to treat the migraine of a plausable ‘writ of mandamus’ in his forced grand jury referals and preparation of criminal indictments under the torture treaty, did you really want to protect Pelosi from war crimes culpability like Pelosi protected Bush from impeachment (suddenly, totally understanding Pelosi was covering her own war criminal ass…)

And to the question of pardons, how fortunate a person is innocent until proven guilty under the USA legal practice, meaning Obama cannot constitutionally pardon anyone prior to a trial and conviction…

House Republican leader John ‘boner’ Boehner who described a report pointing to the dangers of right wing soldiers as a future threat to domestic security offensive and called on the government to apologize to veterans. As a veteran, I call on Representative ‘Boner’ to apologize to all Americans for the acts of our future Timothy McVeighs represented in unprosecuted special operations war criminals being released back into our society…

‘bozo boner’ awardees, whose political lies and/or rhetorical stupidities can often be found in my blogs, in order of lie or stupidity’s magnitude: Barak Obama (to Turkish Parliament “USA is not at war with Islam”), George Bush (”People who are allowed to worship freely in society, are people who are going to be peaceful citizens” as our Christian extremist led military pursues holy war he started), Supreme Court Justice Alito (”Marauding Indians” in a firearms decision, OMG, Geronimo!), Senator Kit Bond in a Senate hearing, (”you can’t believe what you read” about CIA torture), Attorney General Eric Holder (too many to recite), Nancy Pelosi, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton (because I think the ‘girlz’ who behave like ‘boyz’ deserve to make the ‘boyz’ list ;)

Closet republican morality disclaimer, also known as the Senator Larry Craig clause: for the purposes of this blog, the term “boner” is the first (1) given in the Oxford Dictionary, however any Barney Frank-o-philes are permitted to imagine it is the second (2), in which case any prurient lampoons should be ‘tasteful’

boner |ˈbōnər| noun 1 informal a stupid mistake. 2 vulgar slang an erection of the penis. ORIGIN early 20th cent. (originally U.S.): from bone + -er 1

Here is how a ‘Barney Frank-o-phile’ (‘hitting’ on the liberals) lampoon could work in the comments:   Instead of walking out on Iranian President ‘mouthy’ Mahmoud, at the UN forum on racism, when ‘mouthy’ truthfully called Israel “cruel and repressive”, why didn’t one of those western diplomats, instead of disappearing like cowards, stand up and shout out “Fair enough, now, what I want to know, is there a ‘boner’ involved when Iran puts it’s women to death, for adultry, by stoning?” Of course that would make worldwide headlines and Iran would realize it had REALLY ‘pulled a boner.’

Here is how a ‘closet republican morality’ (‘nailing’ the conservatives) lampoon could be ‘pulled off’   The UN Rapportuer on racism has stated “defaming religion” should be dis-allowed, wow, I suppose that means the office in Rome called the congregation for the doctrine in the faith will be ‘coming out’ of the closet, to be called the holy inquisition again, and anyone posting here will be charged by the prosecutor Gonadius [worse than ‘pig’ Latin, eh? gonad + ius], with the crime of having ‘pulled a boner’ (of course that can only mean ‘made a stupid mistake’ ;)   Subtle difference, you think?

And of course, there is always the morality neutral or ‘ethics free’ example (getting digs into the ‘I’m in it for me’ sociopath public figure), in this case a ‘half truth’ :   Rahm Emmanual: “The Republicans are the party of no ideas”, neglecting to mention he is the ‘wormtongue’ (wet tongue?) in the ear of a Democratic president with brain-dead ideas…

“Know thyself” –the pedophile Socrates, executed for “corrupting the youth of Athens”

It seems fitting this should degenerate into a legal treatise designed to constitutionally box in the ‘boyz’, and as such, is apropos to pick on Chief Justice John ‘boy’ Roberts, who went from ‘Waltons’ family lawyer to chief executive at the violent pornography industry of Anglo-Saxon law…   John ‘boy’s’ court had been recently accused of ‘pulling a boner’ [a cowardly legal decision] by much more principled conservative judges than the dwarves on the conservative wing of this Supreme Court… who have been accused by those more principled men of legal ‘mealy mouth’ in a recent ‘right to bear arms’ or 2nd Amendment case, and called it a right wing Roe v Wade for mincing around the ‘hard’ facts…

Just like the all male Roe court could not ‘bear’ to give women the 4th amendment’s protection of “privacy in their papers”:   ‘Dear diary, today I had to choose between raising a child in poverty for a father I’ve discovered would never be there for us, or terminating…’  No differently, John ‘boy’s’ court could not call a spade a spade and admit the founders meant “the right of the people to bear arms” to be a clause against a coup of the power corrupt over our rule of law… this could have been intelligently addressed by BEING HONEST and calling the right to bear arms what our constitution meant it to be, a militia of the people (that does NOT shoot “marauding Indians” at casinos ;) , giving states a bit of control over assault rifles (that actually cannot be constitutionally taken from the people so long as the 2nd Amendment and a modern arms military both exist), like one assault rifle per militia member which is any person of good legal standing in the community, no record of domestic violence and with brains enough to pass an 8th grade constitutional ethics test, weapon stays locked up in the home… and use of ANY firearm in a crime could consequently be made a statutory case of domestic treason for violating a fellow citizen’s civil liberties.

But naw, self serving cowards can’t pull their heads out from where the sun never shines, because the idea I just proposed would preserve our constitution AND DRAMATICALLY REDUCE the number of assault rifles and ALL other firearms on our streets as well as shut down the weapons exports to Mexican drug cartels, too bad that would hurt the gun lobby…   Now, where do you suppose John ‘boy’ will come out on torture? Will he allow prosecutions of his corporate class peers??

Since now days the 4thAmendment appears to only protect the privacy of the papers held as corrupt corporate class state secrets concealing crimes, the prognosis is not good, but I have an idea.

Uncle Sam has this Latino dude named ‘Stare Decisis’ in his honky law library, he is the bouncer, all his work is about is, there should be stability and quiet in the case-law or, that had been the way it worked and so that is the way it generally should be.

Now John ‘boy’s’ honkies have been ganging up on this Latino dude recently, so Stare Decisis brings a knife to work to defend himself. Returning to ‘nincompoop’s’ let’s duck responsibility with a honky defense rationale, I do believe the Latino dude can take out a certain Anglo-Saxon’s ass, that is, the whole idea surrounding ‘I knew it was wrong but thought it was legal’ as a legitimate ‘no criminal intent’ defense.

Here is how it could work: Anglo-Saxon right wingers (includes dark rye ‘cracker’ Clarence ‘anita’s bad hair day’ Thomas) like to kill people, that is easy to see in John ‘boy’s’ conservatives putting retarded and insane people to death… and honky states like to force anti-psychotics into defendants so they become fit at trial to understand why they are going to die for something they could not understand when they did it. So if John ‘boy’s’ ‘boss-hog’ federal court has let those state decisions stand, bingo, suddenly Stare Decisis, the Latino dude, whips out his knife! And he goes beserk from being picked on!! The Supreme Court takes anti-psychotics to understand what is happening in the real world and the Anglo-Saxon no criminal intent ‘I knew it was wrong but thought it was legal’ defense is knife wounds like the slashers in the movies make (oh, our lovely 1st Amendment) across their blindfolded bitch’s Anglo-Saxon body of no criminal intent law, Stare Decisis just cut her to pieces!!!!! Your averaged IQ of 90 could puzzle through the shit in that process’ result- “Whoa, check it out, THAT BITCH IS DEAD!!!!!!!”
