Quote: "The Central
Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media."
-- William Colby, former CIA Director, cited by Dave Mcgowan, Derailing
Democracy
The Sunday morning media talking heads had a synchronized
message: force Trump surrogates to say
that the CIA’s “intelligence” report proves unequivocally that Russian
President Vladimir Putin ordered a cyber-attack on the US election. This is in spite of legions of
ex-intelligence officers debunking these claims by the Director of National
Intelligence, James Clapper who has lied under oath before congress in the
past. From US News:
Excerpt:
Lock Him Up? Lawmakers Renew Calls
for James Clapper Perjury Charges
Some lawmakers reacted to the
long-expected resignation announcement from Director of National Intelligence
James Clapper on Thursday by wishing him an eventful retirement, featuring
prosecution and possible prison time.
The passage of more than three
years hasn’t cooled the insistence in certain quarters that Clapper face charges for an admittedly
false statement to Congress in March 2013, when he responded, “No,
sir" and "not wittingly” to a question about whether the National
Security Agency was collecting “any type of data at all” on millions of
Americans.
About three months after making
that claim, documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed the answer was untruthful and that the
NSA was in fact collecting in bulk domestic call records, along with various
internet communications.
To his critics, Clapper
lied under oath, a crime that threatens effective oversight of the executive
branch.
Quote: "For some time I
have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from its original
assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of
the government.... I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it
would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations." --former
President Harry Truman, 22 December 1963, one month after the JFK
assassination, op-ed section of the Washington Post, early edition
The fact that the media is demanding President-elect Trump
take the word of James Clapper as gospel that Vladimir Putin hacked the DNC
computer to assist Trump in getting elected, is absolutely outrageous. There has been no evidence to-date that Putin
had anything to do with the hacking, or that hacking even occurred.
Quote: "The ideal form of government is
democracy tempered with assassination." – Voltaire
However, even more shocking is Senate minority leader, Chuck
Schumer intimating to Rachel Maddow that the CIA is plotting against
President-elect Donald Trump for questioning their veracity. From The Hill:
Excerpt:
New Senate Minority Leader Charles
Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is “being
really dumb” by taking on the
intelligence community and its assessments on Russia’s cyber activities.
“Let me tell you, you take on the
intelligence community, they have six
ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC's Rachel
Maddow.
“So even for a practical,
supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this...” Schumer said that as he understands, intelligence officials are "very upset
with how [Trump] has treated them and talked about them."
Did New York Senator Chuck Schumer just say that the CIA is
plotting against the President of the United States? I wrote about the CIA’s threats against the American
government in April of last year:

Count Down to WWIII - The Bush
Crime Family and the CIA Controlled Presidential Election
The CIA controls the duopoly in
America and therefore controls the delegates who appoint the nominees for
President of the United States of America.
What is happening in the 2016 election process is the unveiling of how
dangerous and disgusting the CIA controlled process has become.
World War III has begun, it began
when the American government was overthrown in 2000 and George W. Bush, son of
George H.W. Bush the 41st President of the United States and former Director of
the C.I.A. was installed as President.
To understand how we have come to this horrific point in time, one needs
to review where it began. From Sonic:
Excerpt:
Summary Of The Bush Crime Family*
History
The most blatant initial historical
record is when Grandpa Prescott Bush and some of his cronies tried to entice
General Smedley Butler to muster enough World War I veterans to take over the Presidency of The United
States in 1933.
Then again, in 1942 (a year after
the U.S. joined World War II), Prescott Bush and this same cabal -- in their
drive toward fascism -- were finally forced by the "Trading With the Enemy
Act" to terminate their extensive
business dealings with Hitler.
After WWII, this American branch
of the Nazis didn't lose the war, they just transformed the battleground. They
expanded their "connections" with Hitler's intelligence networks from
The War into the formation of our own
CIA.
It is also this same group that
President Eisenhower opaquely identified as the "Military Industrial
Complex," in his dark farewell speech to us. Later, it was Poppy George
H.W. Bush who sat on a boat (named Barbara) off-shore and directed the Cuban Bay Of Pigs fiasco.
As a direct consequence of that
largely unsolicited action, John Kennedy
banished him and his CIA brothers from his administration, albeit only
temporarily, as George H.W. Bush,
then an active CIA agent, was later
photographed in Dealey Plaza that sunny November day in 1963.
From FDR to today, the Bush Crime
Family and their fixated core of corporate fascists have, using unbridled corporate power, been tightening their grip on the
throats of the American political, legal, economic and media systems…
Quote: As
terrible as it is to live in a nation where the press in known to be controlled
by the government, at least one has the advantage of knowing the bias is
present, and to adjust for it. In the United States of America, we are taught
from birth that our press is free from such government meddling. This is an
insidious lie about the very nature of the news institution in this country.
One that allows the government to lie to us while denying the very fact of the
lie itself.—What really happened
What is happening in America today is a culmination of years
of the CIA infiltrating and condensing media as part of the CIA’s Operation
Mockingbird. From What Really Happened:
Excerpt:
MOCKINGBIRD: The Subversion Of The
Free Press By The CIA
Who Controls the Media? Soulless corporations do, of course… It is beginning to dawn on a growing number
of armchair ombudsmen that the public print reports news from a parallel
universe - one that has never heard of politically-motivated assassinations, CIA-Mafia banking thefts, mind control,
death squads or even federal agencies
with secret budgets fattened by cocaine sales - a place overrun by lone
gunmen, where the CIA and Mafia are usually on their best behavior… This unlikely land of enchantment is the
creation of MOCKINGBIRD.
It was conceived in the late 1940s,
the most frigid period of the cold war, when the CIA began a systematic infiltration of the corporate media, a
process that often included direct
takeover of major news outlets… With
or without the cooperation of local governments, Frank Wisner, an undercover
State Department official assigned to the Foreign Service, rounded up students
abroad to enter the cold war underground of covert operations on behalf of his
Office of Policy Coordination.
Philip Graham, __a graduate of the Army Intelligence School in
Harrisburg, PA, then publisher of the
Washington Post., was taken under Wisner's wing to direct the program code-named Operation MOCKINGBIRD.
"By the early 1950s,"
writes former Village Voice reporter Deborah Davis in Katharine the Great, "Wisner 'owned' respected members
of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and
other communications vehicles, plus stringers, four to six hundred in all,
according to a former CIA analyst…"
Early MOCKINGBIRD influenced 25
newspapers and wire agencies consenting to act as organs of CIA propaganda.
But what is even more shocking is the dismissal by the
Sunday morning talking heads of the failure of the FBI to stop the Fort
Lauderdale airport shooter who shot 13 people.
From the Business Insider:
Excerpt:
The suspect in the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting was known to the
FBI
The man authorities believe shot 13 people, five of them fatally,
at Fort Lauderdale International Airport on Friday was known to the FBI prior to carrying out the massacre, an FBI
official said during a news conference Friday night.
FBI spokesman George Piro said the suspected assailant, 26-year-old
Esteban Santiago, walked into an FBI
office in Anchorage, Alaska, in November 2016 claiming voices in his head were telling him to join ISIS. ISIS videos were apparently found on his
computer, NBC's Pete Williams reported, citing federal officials.
Piro, the FBI spokesman, said
Santiago was taken into custody by local police in Anchorage and sent to a
medical facility for an evaluation… Santiago,
who was born in New Jersey but moved to Puerto Rico with his family when he was
2 years old, served in Puerto Rico's National Guard and was deployed to Iraq in 2010…
Santiago received a "general
discharge" from the National Guard in August for "unsatisfactory
performance," a lieutenant with the Alaska National Guard told CBS. His
aunt, who lives in New Jersey, told
reporters that Santiago had started acting strangely when he returned from Iraq,
and about a month ago "lost his mind…"
Santiago flew Delta from Anchorage,
Alaska to Fort Lauderdale via Minneapolis-St. Paul on Thursday night, NBC
reported. He arrived in Fort Lauderdale late Friday morning, which is when he apparently he used a gun he had
checked into his luggage to carry out the massacre in the baggage claim
area of Terminal 2.
Why wasn’t Santiago placed on a “no fly” list? The failure of the FBI to stop terror attacks
appears to be the “new normal” as far as the media is concerned. It’s absolutely shocking that the billionaire
owned media is far more interested in undermining President-elect Trump than in
reporting on the failures of America’s intelligence agencies. Not long ago I wrote in my blog about another
terrorist known to the FBI who shot up the Pulse nightclub in another city in
Florida, Orlando.
Excerpt:
Our Orwellian Government is stoking
up the rhetoric pointing fingers at each other for not using the term, radical
Islamists. Don’t be fooled, the rhetoric is to divert our limited
attention span from acknowledging the real terrorists in the American
government. The Orlando gunman was employed by a British based security
contractor who was in charge of airport security at the three airports involved
in the 911 attacks. From Washington Blog:
Excerpt:
The shooting in Orlando on June
12th demonstrated features that were present in many recent terrorist acts. For
example the suspect was quickly killed and the official account immediately
attempted to blame the attacks on Islam. However, as with most terrorist
suspects in the U.S., Omar Mateen had been closely followed by the FBI. He
also worked for a company suspected of engaging in prior terrorist events.
Mateen was well known to the FBI.
In fact the Bureau had interviewed him several times and had evaluated his
potential for terrorism on at least three occasions. This fact is noteworthy
considering that both before 9/11, and since then, FBI leaders appear to have
facilitated or manufactured terrorist acts.
Although U.S. authorities claim
that Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS “in the midst of the attack,” Mateen’s
family were surprised at the claim that he had any connection to a radical
terrorist group. In fact, they
said he was not particularly religious… Mateen’s
employer, G4S, has some
interesting links to previous terrorist events. And it benefits from terrorism.
Mateen worked for the British company G4S since 2007. Throughout that time, G4S
has been what people might call a
private, special operations military outfit. It is said to be three times
the size of the British military. In 2012, a G4S employee was charged with
making a bomb threat at the Olympics. Similar bomb threats were connected to
G4S in 2013 and May 2016.
Previously called Securicor,
G4S PROVIDED SECURITY AT ALL THREE AIRPORTS AFFECTED BY THE 9/11 ATTACKS. Securicor/G4S had bought Argenbright
Security—the 9/11 airport security firm—just nine months before the 9/11
attacks. The company later
ran operations at Guantanamo Bay…
No one at the FBI appears to have been disciplined or even
investigated for their failure to stop the Orlando nightclub attack. These failures of the intelligence community
are of no interest to the American media and that is criminal. The media’s refusal to question the
intelligence selectively fed to them is a greater threat to democratic
elections than any alleged hacking or leaking.
Don’t forget, it was James Comey, the FBI Director who
derailed Hillary Clinton’s campaign and it is he who should be answering
questions before congress for election tampering. From National Memo:
Excerpt:
Ethical Questions Surround FBI
Director’s Decision On Email Probe
With a tweet that trumpeted “Case
reopened,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) set off a sustained roar of hyperbole
about Hillary Clinton’s emails. As chair of the House Oversight Committee,
Chaffetz and seven other Republican committee chairs — along with the ranking
Democrats — received a very brief letter
on Friday from FBI Director James Comey.
In three paragraphs, he informed
them that while looking into “an unrelated case,” his agents had found “emails
that appeared to be pertinent” to the Clinton server investigation. He had
directed investigators to look at the emails, he wrote, and determine their
significance… Contrary to Chaffetz’s
excited tweet, the FBI director’s letter
did not indicate that the bureau has “reopened” its investigation of Clinton.
The emails in question were not found on Hillary Clinton’s email server,
although some or all of them may be merely copies of emails previously examined
by the FBI. Those emails did not
represent evidence intentionally withheld by Clinton from the FBI. And there was no indication that those emails
had prompted Comey to reconsider his July recommendation against prosecution,
or his related conclusion that there was “no
intentional misconduct” in the handling of evidence by Clinton and her
lawyers…
But to protect himself, Comey decided to disclose the emails’ existence
to the Congressional committee chairs within a day after learning of them
himself, knowing that the Republicans would instantly exploit and distort that
information for partisan purposes. (He knows that because Republican leaders
distorted the facts to defame him.) Certainly he had no legal obligation to reveal the existence of the emails before
he knew anything about them.
The FBI has been hunting the Clintons for over thirty years,
first dispatching 200 agents to comb through every trailer park in Arkansas to
dig up dirt on President Bill Clinton and most recently the partisan
investigation of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails by Republican Director James Comey.
James Comey, who served in the Justice Department of George
W. Bush, was appointed Director of the FBI by Barack Obama. During Comey’s time in the Bush
Administration, millions of e-mails were destroyed illegally, for which there
was no FBI investigation. From Newsweek:
Excerpt:
THE GEORGE W. BUSH WHITE HOUSE
‘LOST’ 22 MILLION EMAILS
For 18 months, Republican
strategists, political pundits, reporters and Americans who follow them have
been pursuing Hillary Clinton’s personal email habits, and no evidence of a
crime has been found. But now they at least have the skills and interest to focus
on a much larger and deeper email conspiracy, one involving war, lies, a private server run by the Republican Party
and contempt of Congress citations—all of it still unsolved and unpunished.
Most troubling, researchers found a suspicious pattern in the White House
email system blackouts, including periods when there were no emails
available from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney. “That the vice
president’s office, widely characterized as the most powerful vice president in
history, should have no archived emails in its accounts for scores of
days—especially days when there was discussion of whether to invade
Iraq—beggared the imagination,” says Thomas Blanton, director of the
Washington-based National Security Archive.
Perhaps Mr. Comey himself should be investigated for his possible participation in the scrubbing of the White House e-mails that took place in the Bush Administration. But I digress.
Excerpt:
Does Trump Now Accept the Phony
Russian Hacking Claim?
Since his Friday intelligence
briefing, he hasn’t refuted his earlier assessment, debunking the notion. I
check his tweets daily to see what he's saying.
No Russian hacking occurred. No
evidence proves it. Yet on Fox News Sunday, his incoming White House chief
of staff Reince Priebus said otherwise, accepting the fake news report as
factual.
Was he speaking for himself alone?
Or was he also stating what Trump now believes? The president-elect hasn’t said
either way since Friday so it’s unknown…
Former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan
Craig Murray acted as an intermediary between one or more Democrat party
insiders, passing on leaked DNC and John Podesta emails to WikiLeaks. Interviewed on RT (Russia Today), he called Friday’s intelligence community
report “hilarious…devoid of evidence…”
“It seems such a mockery of what
we’ve had, which is weeks and weeks of assertion without evidence. And it was
so totally devoid of evidence, that I thought it must be a joke.” Its “assertions…are factually untrue.” Its contents are “built on nothing.” “The report asserts, for example, that
President Putin must have ordered the hacking. It doesn’t say that the hacking
of the election or influencing actually happened…”
It’s intentionally provocative, wanting Trump’s election delegitimized,
adversarial relations toward Russia continued, increasing the risk of
US-initiated confrontation. Murray
correctly said a report this obviously fabricated could only have been issued, knowing Western media would support it
unquestionably.
No sensible person would buy the rubbish in it.
Media scoundrels accepting it are the same ones buying phony accusations about
nonexistent Saddam’s WMDs in the run-up to US-led aggression, the same ones
one-sidedly supporting Hillary, the same ones still bashing Trump. What it all comes down to is wanting
America’s imperial agenda continued - responsible for endless wars on humanity
at home and abroad.
Heavy pressure is on Trump to maintain the status
quo or risk removal from office by impeachment or more sinister means.
As the hearings to confirm Trump’s cabinet commence, the
media continues to push the false narrative that Russia hacked the US election
and the FBI’s investigation of Hillary’s e-mail reveal criminality. The only thing we can believe from the
mainstream media is, anything they say is a lie.
The biggest lie of all is America has a free
press that works as a watchdog for the people.
The watchdog is dead and has been replaced with a CIA trained lapdog. The next four years will be a battle of Trump
vs. the CIA’s “intelligence.”
