An info-satire by Ronald
snook |sno͝ok|
noun (also known as ‘thumb your nose’) informal
• place one’s hand so that the thumb touches one’s nose and the fingers are spread out, in order to express contempt: The LA Times reporter didn’t dare to write Ron West was quick to thumb his nose when the CIA was actually looking.
• openly show contempt or a lack of respect for someone or something; to thumb one’s nose: the very same coward spent a journalism career at the LA Times thumbing his nose at a dumbed-down public.
“Seven non-members of the non-deep state are so enraged by the idea that people might think the totally fake American deep state might be real, that they accidentally publish seemingly coordinated attacks on the very idea. Under very similar titles. All within the same few days. Citing the same “counter examples” of Egypt and Turkey. All acting with symmetrical umbrage” -Off Guardian
Ok, so ‘Kit’ at Off Guardian summarized mainstream [intelligence agency implanted] media denial quite succinctly; in other words just because there are ‘deep state’ symptoms practically every direction one looks, if you happen to believe a rooster should appear, sound, and behave as a rooster, you are likely deluded.
From Steve Bannon to Glen Ford, with James Corbett somewhere in the middle, or in order of those listed, from a paranoid-fascist genius on the right to a no-nonsense social critic on the left, as well an astute neutral observer in the middle, when it comes to a ‘deep state’, all can agree when the same creature crows like a rooster, looks like a rooster and lives in a chicken house, it should be called a rooster, not a snook.
In other words, what should it tell you when The New Yorker, Salon, The LA Times, Politico Magazine, The Atlantic, RealClear Politics, and the Observer all insist a barking dog is actually saying meow? And if you do NOT agree, you’re a paranoid conspiracy theorist? Now, there’s a real snook. But that’s the business of media these days, deliberately thumbing their nose at reality and putting you down if you don’t agree.
First, what the American deep state is NOT:
It’s not Turkey, Egypt or Syria. These are red herrings tossed into print by the USA’s deep state press/mouthpieces.
red herring |ˈˌrɛd ˈhɛrɪŋ|
noun
1 something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting: the CIA recruited academic had produced a deep state debunking article for Counter Punch with red herrings Turkey, Syria & Egypt. So named from the practice of using the scent of red herring in training dogs (not cats.)
What the American deep state IS: a spineless sociopath, multiple-personalities, artificial entity with synthetic soul; which sometimes attacks itself. It has a faux conscious manifest in the National Prayer Breakfast. Its exoskeleton is the facade of democracy. Its muscle mass is the federal bureaucracy. Its ruptured spleen is the Council on Foreign Relations. Its jaundiced liver is NATO. Its irritable bowel syndrome is the USA’s military industrial corporate boards. Its severely diseased heart is Exxon-Mobil. Its anus is Capitol Hill. It’s [soon to be] broken life support machine is Wall Street. In its’ current, more or less schizophrenic mental state, it is the generals versus the spooks; the left brain-dead NSA versus the right brain-dead CIA, also known as (in Trumps head) Snowden is bad, WikiLeaks is good. Its synthetic soul is ‘The Fellowship’ (and its satellite, the Federalist Society.)
snooker |ˈsno͝okər|
noun
• trick, entice, or trap: the public was snookered into buying F-35s at prices that were too high.
• leave (someone) in a difficult position; thwart: The CIA managed to lose its family jewels—the NSA left Gina Haspel snookered.
In short, the CIA’s ‘dirty tricks’ (Special Activities) division had been a rogue player in the orbit of the Prescott Bush family and corporate associates since the days of Allan Dulles. In the seamless transition from ‘dubya’ to Hussein Obama, it was Robert Gates & David Petraeus had welded this branch of the CIA to the Pentagon and brought it under the Pentagon umbrella via the SOC (special operations command) where it could be safely preserved in upcoming euthanasia of those neo-liberal controlled divisions of the CIA at odds with the generals. In other words, bye-bye to the influence of the Council on Foreign Relations, and other, similar, entities because the tacit understanding of bygone days or ‘the balance of tolerance’ (tolerating players you despise, Hussein Obama, Hillary, Soros & associated ‘usual suspects’) are indeed over. The Coe cult has made its move via the generals and the rest, as they say, will be history. Where is ‘the donald’ in this play? He’s allowed himself to become a pawn played to sacrifice in a gambit; that is a stooge and a fool. This had been accomplished via his administration appointments, most notably preceded by his selection of the generals’ favorite Coe cult ‘fellowship‘ Bible-believer Pence:
literal Armageddon planning session
Think that’s far-fetched? Think again:
“To see past and present Bible studies used in the Pentagon click here“
In 2017 what is the Bible study at the Pentagon? That would be the Old Testament’s Jonah. Here follows is reasonable expectation of the lessons our generals take to heart when embracing a 3,000 years old fairy tale (there’s a reason this article begins with a ‘Loony Tunes’ clip)
Jonah:
Jonah was minding his own business.
Nineveh, God said
Speak to Nineveh.
Jonah said:
Screw that,
Those people won’t listen.
And God said:
You don’t get it, Jonah
So try this:
Burped a Whale
The upchucked Jonah
Wanted a bath, badly.
And Nineveh
Did not repent
As much as
Not knowing
Their left hand from right,
In the end
God felt sorry for their cows.
Or, in our generals/Mike Pence spiritual guru Doug Coe’s other study:
^ “I’ve seen pictures of the young men in the Red Guard… They would bring in this young man’s mother. He would take an axe and cut her head off. They have to put the purposes of the Red Guard ahead of their father, mother, brother, sister, and their own life. That was a covenant. A pledge. That’s what Jesus said” -Doug Coe
So, as different factions of the deep state slug it out, Doug Coe will finally eschew Hillary’s blow-jobs (Hillary had always been too busy elsewhere to give Bill what he wanted) and go with the generals, as the Bible studying Pentagon’s NSA (smiling like a hillbilly) slips the Vault 7 greased-pig-job to the CIA:
Meanwhile, over at AIPAC, everything is on track with the Zionists (Christian & Jewish) as the messianic agenda progresses… the problem with ordinary people is, they have no idea of the theological madness behind the perfectly serious(ly insane) Christian crusaders at the Pentagon:
The paranoid Jewish Zionists embrace these rabid anti-Semitic Christian Zionists who fully intend the Jewish Zionists will become extinct once they’ve finished the dirty work of retaking the West Bank for the Christian Zionists necrotic vision on a road to Armageddon, meanwhile the Jewish Zionists label any non-Jewish anti-Zionist as anti-Semitic, when in fact most of the non-Jewish anti-Zionists are the bitter foes of the rabid anti-Semitic Christian Zionists momentarily embraced by the Jewish Zionists.
Now, in the mix of all of this, the anti-Zionist Jewish personalities are in an impossible state of being forced to play a game of ‘shut the fuck up’ or get blasted by all Zionists, Jewish and Christian, while the non-Jewish anti-Zionist is attacked by the paranoid Ashkenazi, who became paranoid and Zionist, on account of the pogroms of anti-Semitic Christian Zionists. These people bite the hand of people who’re actually doing them a favor by taking on the rabidly anti-Semitic Christian Zionists, personalities who intend as soon as the partnership of convenience is over, all those clinging to Judaism will be tossed into a lake of what will almost certainly amount to man-made nuclear fire…
Meanwhile, if you’re too smart to be obsessed with the Russians are to blame for everything gone wrong on this flat earth, in the midst of our deep state’s internecine war, every deep state publishing party wants you to believe the deep state existence is a fantasy, here’s a few samples:
James Corbett is your better bet:

June 2019 update: After a minimum of 2 years of ‘this title is not currently available for purchase’, Evan Wright’s book ‘How To Get Away With Murder In America’ is available again at amazon –
Anyone wishing for a glimpse of irrefutable evidence the USA’s Department of Justice, and its satellite Federal Bureau of Investigation, have been corrupted/co-opted by the Central Intelligence Agency, need look no further than Robert Mueller’s failure to act in the case of Enrique Prado, a drug cartel serial killer whose concurrent career had been high-level official at CIA. It follows, appointing Mueller “Special Counsel” in a case where Western liberal democracies’ intelligence agencies are implicated (MI6/CIA) is brilliantly cynical.
“This title is not currently available for purchase”
^ amazon screenshot
Why has Enrique Prado never been prosecuted? How is it three consecutive FBI Directors, Robert Mueller, James Comey & Christopher Wray, all of them, have let a proven serial killer continue to run free and go on killing? Corruption doesn’t go much deeper than this:
The CIA’s Amazon Books (or how to own a billionaire)
So, how is it a ‘kindle’ e-book detailing the history of a contemporary era CIA assassin is ‘out of print’ at amazon books? Can virtual reality actually have a paper supply problem? Or is it because Jeff Bezos’ amazon (Bezos is amazon’s largest stock-holder & CEO) has a $600,000,000 (six-hundred-million) contract supplying the CIA with ‘cloud’ services?
Small wonder Bezos’ Washington Post is recently the CIA’s preferred street-walker for planting fake news stories even as it had shrieked over ‘fake news.’ Now, going to the banned-at-amazon book:
‘How to Get Away with Murder in America: Drug Lords, Dirty Pols, Obsessed Cops, and the Quiet Man Who Became the CIA’s Master Killer’
^ Enrique Prado (he would be older now, perhaps 60+)
“This is a story that the CIA will not want you to read. It will likely shake your faith in the highest levels of America’s national security establishment. And it will leave you feeling as if you are living not in the United States but in a seedy banana republic where there is no line between the good guys and the bad guys.
“In “How to Get Away with Murder in America,” the celebrated journalist Evan Wright reveals the extraordinary story of Enrique “Ricky” Prado, an alleged killer for a major Miami drug trafficker who was recruited into the CIA. Despite a grand jury subpoena and a mountain of evidence unearthed by a federal task force, Prado was promoted into the agency’s highest echelons and charged with implementing some of the country’s most sensitive post-9/11 counterterrorist operations, including the agency’s secret “targeted assassination unit.” All while staying in close touch with his cocaine-trafficking boss and, evidence suggests, taking part in additional killings for him.
“After Prado retired in 2004 at the rank of SIS-2—the CIA equivalent of a two-star general—he moved to a senior position at Blackwater, the private military contractor, where he continued to run the same, now-outsourced “death squad.” Contrary to government assurances that it was never actually activated, Wright reveals explosive testimony from one of the Blackwater assassins that Prado’s unit was indeed carrying out assigned killings. As a former military intelligence officer told Wright in 2011, “Private contractors are whacking people like crazy over in Afghanistan for the CIA.”
“In “How to Get Away with Murder in America,” Wright discloses never-before-seen federal investigation files and lays out a mind-boggling and ultimately damning indictment of Ricky Prado and the intelligence community that embraced and empowered him. It is the deeply disturbing story of a criminal case abandoned because of CIA intervention, political maneuvering, and possibly corruption. Its cast includes Mafia capos, former U.S. Senator Bob Graham, former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, former CNN host Rick Sanchez, and Prado’s longtime boss at the CIA and then Blackwater, J. Cofer Black, who is now a “special adviser” to presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Wright also delivers a stunning portrait of Prado’s childhood friend Albert San Pedro, a.k.a. “the Maniac,” the drug lord whom he served for years as loyal bodyguard and enforcer, as well as their longtime nemesis Mike Fisten, the detective who began pursuing them more than two decades ago and still hopes to put them both in prison for murder.
“There are many conspiracies in Wright’s story, all of them unsettling. Did the CIA knowingly hire a suspected murderer with strong ties to drug traffickers? Or was the agency a stooge, infiltrated by an underworld hood described by one investigator as “technically, a serial killer”?
“How to Get Away with Murder in America” is likely to have serious repercussions for the U.S. national security establishment. And it will shake to the core your conceptions of government and justice in America”
Sure it could have “serious repercussions” if it were available. The book was offered for sale at amazon in 2012. Bezos picked up the 600 million ‘private cloud services’ contract with the CIA in 2013:
“Professor Robert McChesney, who has published books dealing with conflicts of interest in the media, for example, also blasted the links. “When the main shareholder in one of the very largest corporations in the world benefits from a massive contract with the CIA on the one hand, and that same billionaire owns the Washington Post on the other hand, there are serious problems””
No shit, Sherlock. And serious problems at amazon. After all, when the CIA comes calling, Bezos wouldn’t want things going wrong and a last sight of Enrique Prado’s silenced pistol presented in a follow-up visit:
“When best-selling author Evan Wright began digging into the hard-to-believe life story of Enrique “Ricky” Prado–a former Miami thug who became a top CIA official–he was told to stay away or risk getting “whacked.” One investigator warned, “You don’t want to f— with this guy.” Wright first learned about Prado while researching American Desperado, his shockingly good book about drug trafficker Jon Roberts. At first, he refused to believe that an alleged hitman and bodyguard for a mobster could become a CIA informant and eventually rise to the top echelons of the U.S. national security and intelligence systems. In this riveting account, Wright says the “two halves of Prado’s life…made no sense.” But through dozens of interviews and thousands of documents, Wright tries to make sense of them. The result is a story of two fiercely loyal Cuban-American childhood pals–Prado and his former cocaine-running boss, Albert “the Maniac” San Pedro–whose kinship lasted throughout Prado’s CIA career. Even as Prado rose to the CIA equivalent of a two-star general, he helped San Pedro with numerous deadly deeds. This is investigative journalism at its best—brave, meticulous, and significant” -Neal Thompson

The CIA’s concubine, Associated Press, has run an article on Iranian musician Shahin Najafi, picked up by the CIA’s favorite street hooker, The Washington Post, describing a Tel Aviv concert where an Iranian dissident teamed up with an Israeli dissident; in a concert undermining the deliberately cultivated, political poison practiced on all parties part, Iran, Israel and the USA.
With an Iranian ‘fatwa’ hanging over his head, Shahin Najafi should now understand he has made himself the target of not only Iran’s secret service but has just put a bull’s eye on his back for MOSSAD & CIA as well. How is that? We’ll go there but first:
The Assassins
This next, however mere supposition, is a valid line of inquiry; as too many Russian diplomats have been dropping dead in recent months. But these are the obvious in circumstance where the rogue intelligence agency has taken off the gloves and will resort to anything goes. Here, it is the less obvious proposed as numbers one & two on the CIA’s assassinations ‘laundry list’
Boris Nemtsov posed precisely ZERO political threat to Putin. Realizing this, one can only wonder whether the murderous spooks at Langley had decided Nemtsov was more valuable dead, with his death pinned on Putin, than Nemtsov would ever be effective alive. Demonizing the ‘thug’ and ‘killer’ Putin has been the high sport of the USA’s CIA bed-partner, the Western press. Which brings up this next:
Kim Jong-nam was even less threat to Kim Jong-un, and possessed sub-zero value while alive, to the CIA; he wasn’t political, kept a low profile and for the most part, entirely minded his own business. But a deliberately sloppy assassination, by default pinned on the crude by nature North Korean state, would see a priceless propaganda return, for pennies on the investment in Kim Jong-nam’s murder. This post is not the only source taking this line; as we’ve discovered concurrently published investigation following the assassins tracks to South Korea (they should look for further tracks to the CIA’s chief of stations in Tokyo & Seoul.)
Next Up?
Following on the CIA co-opted American media making a big story of Shahin Najafi’s dissident art, a MOSSAD or CIA hit on Shahin Najafi would make perfect sense. Not only for the immense propaganda value that should come with framing Iran for a hit Iran’s ayatollahs had pre-positioned themselves to receive blame for, but would remove a pro-peace, counter-propaganda irritant for the deep state behind both MOSSAD and CIA.
Watch Your Back Closely Shahin Najafi, because any naïf who’d believe the CIA doesn’t employ professional killers (CIA assassination most definitely isn’t all about drones) should have a read about Enrique Prado:
“Enrique “Ricky” Prado’s resume reads like the ultimate CIA officer: veteran of the Central American wars, running the CIA’s operations in Korea [bold mine, RTW], a top spy in America’s espionage programs against China, and deputy to counter-terrorist chief Cofer Black — and then a stint at Blackwater. But he’s also alleged to have started out a career as a hitman for a notorious Miami mobster, and kept working for the mob even after joining the CIA”

The Poisonous Toad
A creation of the social sciences laboratory at Langley, Virginia, there is a poisonous toad in the field, perhaps comparable to a bt toxin genetically engineered into an otherwise clean crop, could be the metaphor. Prior to the CIA metastasizing a Salifist cancer via the fundamentalist Wahabi Saudi Arabia, and the creation of al Qaida when sponsoring Jihadis to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan, Sufi influenced Islam had been a quiet, hospitable, moderate and stabilising force throughout much of the Islamic world. The lab techs at Langley couldn’t have messed this up any better than a social-science-fiction horror movie. They wrote the script something like this:
Following on dumping many hundreds of millions of dollars into paying, feeding, arming and otherwise supplying the many thousands of Arab & other volunteer ‘Afghani jihadis’ who were motivated via radical Saudi Imams as ‘holy warriors’, the CIA initially abandoned these thoroughly radicalized, but now unemployed, Salafist militia. At loose ends, some of them hooked up in Somalia and brought a ‘Blackhawk Down.’ At least that’s the partial truth and ‘alternative’ line Langley would have you believe, in the day and age where any curious person can sort the CIA was responsible for the birth of al Qaida; the Afgan-Frankenstein brain child of Zbigniew Brzezinski midwifed into existence by George H.W. Bush and Robert Gates in the 1980s. But in actuality, many of these fighters found continued employ in the ‘clandestine’ service of the USA; as many now perfectly Russian hating jihadis were funneled off to Central Asia, the Russian Caucasus, and so far as Western China, to terrorize and destabilize the entire region on behalf of the usual suspects; western big oil corporations and the armaments industry they employ in the attempted strong-arm robbery of nations. The vehicle utilized to coordinate this? A socially illiterate, poisonous toad.
Where would the CIA’s Robert Gates’ lieutenant & Central Asia hit man, Graham Fuller, insert a poisonous toad? Amphibians require a clean environment, and Sufism was the cleanest environment in Islam:
“To Sufis, the outer law consists of rules pertaining to worship, transactions, marriage, judicial rulings, and criminal law—what is often referred to, broadly, as “qanun”. The inner law of Sufism consists of rules about repentance from sin, the purging of contemptible qualities and evil traits of character, and adornment with virtues and good character”
In other words, the ‘inner law’ of the Sufis could be (and has been) described as ‘waging Jihad on all that is inferior in the self.’ A Sufi centered community would be the location you would find the least corrupt and least corruptible persons in Islam. A perfect cover for CIA social scientists wishing to further pursue world class crimes.
The logic must go something like this; having morphed much of the Arab and larger Islamic world into victims of the ultra-radicalized Salafi sect or offshoot of medieval Wahabi Islam centered in Saudi Arabia, where people are executed for so much as possession of new age literature and method of execution can include crucifixion, it would seem the CIA needs to come up with a project to ‘moderate’ Islam into a ‘kinder, gentler world.’ But because this is CIA, that ‘kinder, gentler world’ should also be a vehicle to further the interests of its corporate sponsors.
The answer? Build a world-class, private schools system, costing billions, spanning the globe, where Sufism is the underlying philosophy and place an educated to 5th grade CIA asset who is dirty as sin, but eloquent and nominally Sufi, in place as a figurehead. This toad (a bigger fraud than L Ron Hubbard) will do whatever he’s told to do, because he is not competent to chew gum and tie his shoes, let alone run the logistics of this thing. Then, after having attracted sincere Sufi talent to staff these schools across much of the non-Arab Islamic world, use the entirety of this vast system to provide cover for your agents who’re running false-flag and other terror operations, coordinating international narcotics trafficking, as well gun running to al-Qaida and numerous, related spin-offs, to include Islamic State, while 90%+ of this Sufi education network are kept sincerely clueless as to the real goings on.
Then, when it all starts falling apart, as it has in Turkey, sit back and pretend none of this could be farther from the truth, as the least corruptible community in Turkey, the Sufis, are fired from their civil service jobs in the tens of thousands for the fact they are Sufi and to be Sufi is now associated with Graham Fuller’s CIA introduced poisonous toad: Fethullah Gülen. The Sufis, left un-tampered with, could have brought Turkey forward in many positive respects, with adherence to an authentic, and moderate, rule of law. Instead, since Turkey’s Erdogan has fallen out with his former partner in crimes against Syria, the CIA, the Sufis have been largely purged from Turkey’s civil service, enabling the corrupt to the core Erdogan administration to replace the many upright Sufis, on the pretext of an anti-Gulen purge, with cronies. Now, if/when the paranoid, narcissist Erdogan is finally removed from power by the CIA, following on this past year’s failed coup, a thoroughly corrupted and weakened Turkey will be ripe for exploitation. It seems almost as if it could have been planned that way. Never was a more cynical or greater CIA crime committed against the wider Islamic community.
And so it is, ‘life’ goes on…

June 19, 2012
Google Inc. is back in the news this week, with a fresh round of headlines about the search giant and government censorship. Ironically–though perhaps not surprisingly for the corporate media–the stories are not about Google’s admitted but classified relationship with government agencies like the NSA, though. Instead, they portray the internet company as a protagonist sticking up for users’ privacy rights against governments that are increasingly interested in blocking, scrubbing or banning links, search results, and online videos that those governments want to suppress.
Under headlines like “Google reports ‘alarming’ rise in government censorship requests” and “Google Sees Surge in Censorship Demands,” writers for mainstream publications are dutifully outlining the results of a new Google Inc. transparency report detailing precisely how many times they have been petitioned by governments around the world to censor, block, or scrub material that they find unlawful or objectionable.
The report outlines, for instance, that the US government made 6,192 separate requests for Google to remove information from its services in the latter half of 2011, up from 757 requests in the first half of that year.
Other reports highlight government requests for Google to remove videos from YouTube, including the Thai governments’ request to remove access to hundreds of videos insulting the king (which Google complied with) and Canada’s request to remove a video of a Canadian flushing his passport down the toilet, which Google did not comply with.
The report makes clear that governments are increasingly turning to Google to expunge information that they don’t like–or at least access to that information–from the internet.
As a PR exercise, Google’s latest report is brilliantly executed and timed, deflecting some of the negative press that the company has received in recent weeks over the ongoing Street View debacle, even as it allows news outlets to portray the company as a valiant defender of users’ privacy against increasingly invasive governments. Conveniently left out of the equation is the company’s past, its own repeated violations and abuses of users’ privacy, and the unsettling statements that its executives have made about the very concept of privacy time and again over the years.
Google has always attempted to project itself as the white hat in the wild west of the modern internet. Cloaked in its cutesy “Don’t Be Evil” corporate slogan and its user-friendly design, the company has grown from a simple search engine into one of the largest assemblies of information in the history of the world without the type of scrutiny that one would expect during such a transformation.
The company sprang from PageRank, the end result of a 1996 research project by Stanford University graduate students Larry Page and Sergey Brin that helped users find relevant websites from search queries by counting incoming links to a site. From this simple idea, the pair created the first incarnation of their website on the Stanford University servers, then registered the google domain name in 1997 and incorporated in 1998.
The company had as its explicit goal, the quest to catalogue, organize, and make accessible the sum total of human knowledge, and was aided in this ambitious quest by successive rounds of venture capital funding. Within a decade, it had already made significant inroads on its quest for total information awareness, having branched out into 3D satellite mapping services, launched highly popular webmail and cloud storage services, created its own web browser, acquired YouTube, and branched into mobile technologies with the Android smartphone.
It is not precisely clear when the company caught the attention of America’s intelligence agencies, but high-level whistleblowers suggest it was early on in the company’s history. In a 2006 interview, ex-CIA agent Robert David Steele suggested that it was from the very outset.
“I think Google took money from the CIA when it was poor and it was starting up,” Steele said in the interview. “They’ve been together for quite a while.”
Steele also fingered the company’s point man in the CIA: Dr. Rick Steinheiser in the Office of Research and Development. No further information has been revealed about the precise nature of that relationship, but tidbits continue to emerge from time to time.
It was widely reported in 2010, for example, that Google was in a working relationship with the US National Security Agency. The donation-funded Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a lawsuit requesting details of that relationship, but that suit was thrown out earlier this year. Details of the NSA/Google relationship are effectively classified.
There are also examples of the government-corporate revolving door that make observers of companies like Monsanto and Halliburton uneasy. It was reported earlier this year, for instance, that Regina Dugan of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency would be leaving her post at the Pentagon to take up a senior executive position at Google.
Still, despite the growing amount of information that Google has over every aspect of the daily lives of its billion-plus unique monthly users, it has long avoided any serious scrutiny in the press. Initially sheltered by its “underdog” status in the fight against the tech giants like Apple and Microsoft, even the corporate press has been forced to cover the serious abuses that Google has inflicted on its users in recent years, as those abuses become more flagrant and less easily dismissible.
To the extent that mainstream news stories about Google even address these issues, it is inevitably in a throwaway quote toward the end of the article from someone who is dismissed as a “privacy advocate.” With information on the habits, thoughts, contacts, conversations, physical location, and even financial transactions of a sizable percentage of the population of the planet, however, it is not merely “privacy advocates” who are concerned about the information that the company handles and how it shares that data with governments. Indeed, for anyone who is familiar with the company, its background, its shareholders, or its executives’ personal philosophies, the questions of power that are inevitably raised by the staggering sums of data it holds on a growing percentage of the population are deeply troubling.
Like in so many other matters, however, what can never be mentioned is that the population does have a choice over how their information is used and collected. That information comes from choosing to use Google in the first place. There are plenty of alternative search engines that offer similar (if not identical) results to those offered by Google while simultaneously respecting users’ privacy and refusing to log IP addresses or other recognizable details of its users. There are alternative video sites, alternative email providers, and alternative browsers. By concentrating so much on Google, the press often makes it seem like there is no choice, and that we are all subject to the whims of this monolithic corporation and the whims of its executives as they roll out privacy changes by decree and conspire with government officials in secret.
Once again, it is up to the public to begin detaching themselves from this system and to stop feeding the Google behemoth with their data. By refusing to participate with the monopolization of the web, netizens can make it that much more difficult for their personal information to be bought, sold, or passed to greedy businessman or prying governments, and that much more difficult for videos like this one to be censored from the web.

“Although the CIA insists that MKUltra-type experiments have been abandoned, some CIA observers say there is little reason to believe it does not continue today under a different set of acronyms. Victor Marchetti, author and 14-year CIA veteran, stated in various interviews that the CIA routinely conducted disinformation campaigns and that CIA mind control research continued. In a 1977 interview, Marchetti specifically called the CIA claim that MKUltra was abandoned a “cover story.” Author John D. Marks wrote an award-winning book published in 1979 titled The Search for the Manchurian Candidate disputing CIA Chief Stansfield Turner assurances that mind control programs have been phased out”
Following on this preceding attempted CIA sleight-of-hand, we find:
“Did the CIA terminate the remote viewing program because it feared potential ridicule by association, or did it stage a “public execution” as a means of taking the program underground? Both are legitimate questions. The first is understandable given perception of paranormal activities by many within American society, as well as the CIA’s past experiences involving controversial research efforts.
“Arguably, the second question is more intriguing as it implies that the CIA recognized the value of remote viewing, yet intended to make it appear otherwise. By discrediting the program, was the CIA actually intending to continue using remote viewing but under its own supervision and for its own purposes under a newly established and more tightly controlled program? Or, was the CIA concerned that remote viewing could be used to access sensitive U.S. secrets by both U.S. and non-U.S. remote viewers, particularly if this ability was somehow to become publicly recognized and possibly regarded as intriguing or even stimulating by society at-large? What becomes of intelligence services if or when they can no longer guarantee the security of their respective nation’s most sensitive secrets? Remote viewing could not be controlled and the CIA knew it …”
“Transcendent warfare’s impact extends well beyond remote viewing, which offers a glimpse of the possible. It also holds the potential for fundamentally shifting and expanding our current understanding of reality to such an extent that manipulation of established reality parameters, such as time, becomes possible if not plausible. The first nation or group that actualizes transcendent warfare will therefore possess a strategic advantage that may prove insurmountable” -Commander L.R. (2001) Unconventional Human Intelligence Support: Transcendent and Asymmetric Warfare Implications of Remote Viewing (pdf file download) Marine Corps War College, Quantico, VA (expanded reading HERE)
These preceding need little inference to establish a motive of 1) in the first case ‘Shit! We’re on the verge of this breaking into the open, let’s get it swept under the rug before we’re crucified for taking Mengele’s work forward’
Followed on with a case of 2) ‘Jesus Christ! Maybe nearly anyone could do this! Let’s get it buried before the knowledge spreads!’
“…functions using ultra-miniaturized devices, approximately the size of individual nerve fibers, which could be delivered through minimally invasive injection…”
Now, this third, immediate preceding, is a sweet cover story; if nano-technology can ‘remotely’ move our broken soldiers’ bodies, who would be such a naif as to believe it wouldn’t be adapted to both; kinetic warfare and our malevolent CIA’s long-standing search for the (see first paragraph) ‘Manchurian Candidate’?

Now, to really get a view of what goes under the belly of the beast, one only need watch this following ‘leaked’ Pentagon video proposing pacifying populations with genetic mutation spread via the common cold:
“Last year, the DoD’s Minerva Initiative funded a project to determine ‘Who Does Not Become a Terrorist, and Why?’ which, however, conflates peaceful activists with “supporters of political violence” who are different from terrorists only in that they do not embark on “armed militancy” themselves”
That’s a reasonably good match to what asserted in the video, at least insofar as pointing to area of research undertaken.
Is it a faked video as metabunk.org (less than convincingly) insists? With the film-maker essentially ‘vanished’ or scrubbed from the net, (‘disappeared’?) that’s a less reasonable question everyday goes by; considering what had begun with Project Artichoke, morphed into MKUtra and its many spin-offs, had been decades developed by CIA behavioral science based on research initiated by the Nazis. If this were a real video, every effort would be taken to discredit it. If it were not a real video, it shouldn’t matter; the USA has been demonstrated to be capable of undertaking precisely such behaviors.
The point of the preceding introduction is to break down the barriers in the readers brain, as to what is far-fetched and what is not, relating to government intelligence agencies and longstanding research going beyond the ethical and (seeming) plausible. Now, we’ll go where you’d better have a strong stomach to survive (or stop reading here.)
There is a lot of ‘chatter’ in the Libertarian and ‘Alt-Right’ community concerning ‘PizzaGate’ (& PedoGate) with plenty of speculation, extrapolation and supposed insider ‘leaks’ looking to shape the discourse. From former CIA clandestine services officer Robert Steele’s Public Intelligence Blog and appearance on Alex Jones, to ZeroHedge publishing a supposed DHS insider leaking purported facts (with the informer saying ‘tell this to Robert Steele’ as if the article’s anonymous source couldn’t), the alternative right is being bombarded with both; information and disinformation.
Continuity
What do we actually know?
1. There IS a developed history, with a continuity from the times of MKUltra moved ‘offshore’ (1970s) to present. Sexual abuse (including torture) was one of the areas had been explored in the many MKUltra spin-off projects. George H.W. Bush was a CIA Director during the period of the agency exercising damage control during the Church committee investigations of CIA abuses, investigations including not only MKUltra but also (the Church committee cooperated with Bush) covering up CIA penetration of the American press. Bush was succeeded by Stanfield Turner with the transition from the Ford to Carter administrations. Precisely four years following his departing the CIA directorship on 20 January 1977, George H.W. Bush was sworn in as Vice President of the United States on 20 January 1981 (office attained by the former CIA Director via a secret deal involving cash and arms with the ayatollahs in Iran, who kept the American hostages until after the election, to prevent Jimmy Carter receiving a popularity boost, references HERE, HERE & HERE)
2. It was nearly the end of Reagan’s tenure (1988) the ‘Franklin Scandal‘ began breaking into the open:
“The FRANKLIN SCANDAL is the story of a nationwide pedophile ring that pandered children to a cabal of the rich and powerful. The ring’s pimps were a pair of political power-brokers who had access to the highest levels of our government. Nebraska legislators attempted to expose the network in 1989 and 1990, but the legislators’ efforts were followed by a rash of mysterious deaths and the overpowering responses of federal and local law enforcement, including the FBI and Justice Department, which effected an immaculate cover-up of the trafficking network”
3. Despite the CIA edits at Wikipedia, putting forward the Franklin Scandal as a debunked conspiracy theory and mere allegations, as though the lead investigator’s plane had not exploded in mid-air, and other extraordinary ‘deep state’ efforts to bury reporting on the pedophilia ring servicing the White House…
“A very knowledgeable source involved with what became known as the “Franklin Scandal” told WMR [Wayne Madsen Report] that Caradori flew to Chicago ostensibly to attend the All Star game on July 10 at Wrigley Field. In reality, the trip to the game was a cover for Caradori to meet with a source who handed him photographs that proved that Nebraskan children, some from the famed Boy’s Town orphanage, were being used for the sexual gratification of important political leaders in Washington, including Vice President and President George H W Bush”
…and despite a 1993 withdrawn, under unexplained circumstance at the last moment, Discovery Channel-York TV documentary concerning the witness intimidation, witness murders, and false prosecution of witnesses, the documentary survived being altogether quashed and a copy had been leaked into the public domain:
4. The ‘Franklin Scandal’ has been investigated and re-investigated by several, credible and responsible, parties, both before and since the suppression of the Discovery Channel documentary, including professional investigators, social scientists, attorneys, journalists and former intelligence officers; repeatedly showing the story to be credible and based in fact. Those disputing the narrative are the FBI, primarily, and the FBI had been shown to be complicit in cover-up of the case. Mainstream media, in the meanwhile, has consistently refused to touch the story.
5. It was on Bill Clinton’s watch the Discovery Channel documentary broadcast was killed. Contrary to popular perception, there is consistent (deep state or ‘background’) political continuity from George H.W. Bush attaining the vice presidency on 20 January 1981, through Barack Obama exiting the presidency on 20 January 2017. The last serious challenge to the CIA controlled White House, previous to Trump, had been the time George H.W. Bush had derailed Ross Perot’s third party presidential candidacy by sending Perot highly professional (CIA lab produced) altered photos of Perot’s daughter in faked pornographic scenes, with the threat the photos would be released if Perot did not withdraw from his presidential bid…
Robert Steele on Ross Perot begins at one minute in
…and we’ll see how long the immediate preceding video lasts at youtube. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton had been deeply tied into the George H.W. Bush CIA clandestine services criminal syndicate via the Iran-Contra cocaine smuggling operations at Mena, Arkansas:
From the end of Clinton’s presidency, we had Bush Jr and his elder brother- babysitter, Robert Gates (Gates is so close to George H.W. Bush, he should be considered the elder brother of George W. Bush) and it was Gates a key CIA operative setting up the 1980 deal with the ayatollahs that kept the American hostages in Iran for George H.W. Bush, it was Gates effectively ran the CIA for Bill Casey (on Bush’s behalf) during the Reagan era, after Casey’s stroke, it was Gates at the center of Iran-Contra and associated narcotics trafficking (as detailed by rogue Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben Menashe in his ‘Profits of War‘ and elsewhere), it was Gates was the CIA director for George H.W. Bush, and it was Gates stayed on as Secretary of Defense from the administration of George W. Bush years (from December 2006) into the Administration of Barack Obama (to July 2011) and our CIA-military joint (black budget) venture trafficking Afghanistan heroin (more in depth study HERE)
Career CIA criminal Robert Gates is the most demonstrable line of continuity, showing George H.W. Bush, the highest complicit figure tied to the Franklin Scandal, to be a man with consistent interest in exercising his power to crush criminal investigations (and not only investigations concerning pedophilia.) With the pedophilia of the 1980s, particularly, successfully covered up, there is no reason to expect the activity had ever ceased. It’s not as though pedophiles can be rehabilitated in any case, and the power players were never brought down.
It’s The Sauce
The idea ‘pizzagate’ was run out of a single pizzaria in DC is patently absurd. Perhaps similar to the idiot (and badly compromised) CIA operation run out of Starbucks and Pizza Hut in Beirut, Lebanon, this was likely a meeting point for some but only touches the surface. Did Anthony Wiener’s laptop contain a wealth of information on highly placed politicians compromised with the rapes of children? It’s certainly plausible. Is Robert Steele on the up & up in his endeavor to break this widespread pedophilia into the open? I believe so. Are his attempts the target of counter-intelligence operations? He’d be a fool not to expect it. And I believe he has taken the bait, with his Alex Jones interview promoting the idea Jeff Sessions will be taking this network down. Another problem with Steele’s perception concerns FBI Director James Comey’s ‘turnaround.’ Criminals do not voluntarily surrender their business models and the criminal international narcotics cartels’ HSBC money laundering bank’s board director Comey no doubt possessed intelligence causing his last minute shot at Hillary, endearing him to Trump. A clinical example of how to keep a job.
Related to this, the Zero Hedge piece mentioned earlier, was too slick with the answers, as polished as though the interviewee were experienced with reading from a teleprompter. I expect Jeff Sessions, a ‘family’ man of the ‘new chosen’ where child rape has been excused, was put in the job to quash or at least shape, any direction a forced pedophilia investigation might take. I fully expect the Zero Hedge article is attempt at throwing the bloodhounds off. Insofar as the Zero Hedge piece blaming the Israelis (who no doubt have their own methods and objectives), that’s just bait tossed to the Alt Right, however often unjustly painted with a wide brush as Nazis, there is a not insignificant current of anti-Semitism runs there. Some are into it, others, not.
The Israelis are not stupid, they know ‘family man’ Mike Pence’s apocalyptic theology fully intends the Jewish nation (as opposed to state) on location in Israel is meant to be wiped out in the Christian edition of projected events. I expect MOSSAD would prefer Trump over Pence, another Zero Hedge point in the wrong direction. MOSSAD & CIA often do work together but it is a bad marriage, based in sometimes convergent interests. Make no mistake, there is no love lost there. The Zero Hedge piece pointing to MOSSAD looks like CIA initiated misdirection and smells of information operation.
If indeed Jeff Sessions were to open a prosecution of pedophilia of high politicians, I expect this will follow the line of CIA shedding and sacrificing the most expendable and closing ranks around their most valuable assets and inner circle. The George H.W. Bush (CIA) White House kept a wide open welcome to Pence & Sessions spiritual guru, Doug Coe, whose son & heir apparent David, is on record excusing child rape. The George H.W. Bush White House as well had hosted ‘The Family International’ choir (ostensibly a separate group, David Berg’s ‘sex with children’ cult), Jerry Sandusky’s ‘Second Mile‘ child charity was one of George H.W. Bush’s “Thousand Points of Light” & the Franklin Scandal has another connection to Penn State Sandusky child rape scandal. George H.W. Bush had been vice president when the White House had hosted the child sex tours detailed in the Conspiracy of Silence documentary, as well George H.W. Bush has been fingered, by journalist Wayne Madsen, as a Franklin Scandal child prostitute client.
If one were to question how 30% (the number could be significantly higher & it should be fully expected the Trump White House ‘list’ has missing names) of congressmen, judges and high ranking bureaucrats could fall to political blackmail of filmed encounters having sex with children, here’s the score – it’s the sauce – a CIA produced designer drug that both; breaks down the will and makes ‘ecstasy’ seem benign like an aspirin. After ingestion, the politicians couldn’t care in the moment, even if they could see cameras filming them during their subsequent acts of child rape set up by their handlers. Then (since the Discovery Channel documentary), the victims are euthanized (because dead kids don’t talk.) This is all certainly born of the MKUltra legacy that was moved offshore in the 70s, when the Church committee got too nosy.
In the meantime, Mike Pence has been to the Munich security conference with a message to Europe diametrically opposed to Trump’s message; the implicit message being ‘not to worry, soon it will be President Pence and business as usual.’ Already there is open talk in congress questioning the sanity of Trump and using the 25th Amendment to remove an ‘erratic’ Trump from office, other 25th Amendment removal stories HERE, HERE & online change.org petition HERE) a hand…
“Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President”
…to glove fit of documented MKUltra research:
“The CIA had multiple units working on MKULTRA-related testing, including the Office of Security and the Technical Services Staff (TSS). These units worked under the direction of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the chemist who approved clandestine LSD testing on unwitting citizens. Gottlieb was interested in the effects of LSD as it related to interrogation, but he also believed that dosing public figures without their knowledge could serve several purposes, including discrediting someone in a position of power by making them appear foolish in a very public setting” [by this advanced stage, more subtle drugs have been developed to this purpose]
Finally, the thing with the CIA is, pedophilia blackmail isn’t limited to Washington DC, ‘elite pedophilia‘ has been ongoing opportunity for blackmail at the Vatican certainly, as well in Amsterdam, Lisbon, London, Berlin, Paris and Rome (and other European capitals), with special attention given to Brussels, headquarters of the EU and NATO.
And that, folks, is how Josef Mengele’s Nazi medicine had attained a future and stranglehold on your ‘democracies.’ You can thank the CIA precursor, the OSS, and its ‘Operation Paperclip‘ rescuing Nazi scientists and intelligence officers (with plenty of competent help from the Vatican.) That’s it.

Personal observation: Steele’s ‘look forward, not back’ Obamaesque forgiveness is bullshit. Inasmuch as I expect if the full truth were to come out, there wouldn’t be many lonely lampposts when the mob was finished in DC, and that is a legitimate concern (such an event would no doubt sweep up innocents together with the guilty), ‘truth and reconciliation’ is a non-starter. With a severely corrupted system operating under ‘color of law’ far removed from legitimate constitutional order, there should be a third way that is a road to accountability, return to our constitution and de jure law and order, but I don’t know what that way that is.

Trump’s Director of National Intelligence – A Dire Wolf for Jesus
Updated 25 February 2017
This post makes a case Dennis Kucinich knew exactly what he was talking about when he stated:
“An effort by some in the intelligence community to upend any positive relationship between the USA and Russia … there are people trying to separate the USA and Russia so this military-industrial intel [ligence] axis can cash in … There’s a game going on inside the intelligence community where there are those who want to separate the U.S. from Russia in a way that would reignite the Cold War”
In other words, a hostile relationship with Russia is good for business when you’re invested in Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Boeing, Ratheon, DuPont, Booz-Allen, Dow Chemical, Northrup Grumman et-cetera-ad-nausea.
Very few in the larger intelligence community are betting against the CIA in its present & ongoing, treasonous, war with a sitting President of the United States. Ostensibly, a case is being built against Trump, with CIA employing professional, carefully tailored, false flag information operations widespread in media, advancing the notion Trump and his administration cannot be trusted to possess sensitive intelligence without leaking this information to the Russians. What had begun as a clandestine services mutiny of Clinton aligned CIA efforts to derail Trump attaining the presidency, badly mishandled, is grown and spread.
What in actuality is going on now, is a concerted attack on the president by an intelligence community with a decades history of having its way in all things, to include a President of the United States in a deferential role, one could even make a case of compliant to subservience. This begins with if the CIA says something is so, such as Trump’s team is a danger to our national security, it must be the case; the CIA now joined in its mutiny by growing elements in the larger National Security estate, inclusive of those many corporate board personalities integrated to this estate, in growing consensus the ‘intelligence authority’ is not to be challenged:
“Over the last 15 years, thousands of former high-ranking intelligence officials and operatives have left their government posts and taken up senior positions at military contractors, consultancies, law firms, and private-equity firms. In their new jobs, they replicate what they did in government—often for the same agencies they left. But this time, their mission is strictly for-profit”
“From 2004 through 2008, 80 percent of retiring three- and four-star officers went to work as consultants or defense executives, according to the Globe analysis. That compares with less than 50 percent who followed that path a decade earlier, from 1994 to 1998.
“In some years, the move from general staff to industry is a virtual clean sweep. Thirty-four out of 39 three- and four-star generals and admirals who retired in 2007 are now working in defense roles — nearly 90 percent.
“And in many cases there is nothing subtle about what the generals have to sell — Martin’s firm is called The Four Star Group, for example. The revolving-door culture of Capitol Hill — where former lawmakers and staffers commonly market their insider knowledge to lobbying firms — is now pervasive at the senior rungs of the military leadership”
The pecuniary interest is plain as day; Trump has challenged both the defense industry and the intelligence community. The defense industry on the price of the F35 multi-role jet fighter and Trump has called out the intelligence community on its accusations of friendliness towards, and too cozy a relationship with, the Russians. This, following on the ‘Russians hacked the elections’ total nonsense coming from our CIA in deliberate effort by the agency to undermine Trump. But now, the word appears to be out to the former intelligence officers who’re in private intelligence contracting, to join in these propaganda efforts to protect the status quo:
“In a recent column, I explained how the still-forming Trump administration is already doing serious harm to America’s longstanding global intelligence partnerships. In particular, fears that the White House is too friendly to Moscow are causing close allies to curtail some of their espionage relationships with Washington—a development with grave implications for international security, particularly in the all-important realm of counterterrorism.
“Now those concerns are causing problems much closer to home—in fact, inside the Beltway itself. Our Intelligence Community is so worried by the unprecedented problems of the Trump administration—not only do senior officials possess troubling ties to the Kremlin, there are nagging questions about basic competence regarding Team Trump—that it is beginning to withhold intelligence from a White House which our spies do not trust”
Going to this immediate preceding, the intelligence community’s reach and leverage over the pecuniary self-interest of corporations is quite wide; exceeding the near total leverage intelligence agencies have over media in identical circumstance – and beyond private intelligence contractors staffed by agency veterans- where if you don’t toe the agency line, your bread and butter lifeline can be shut off with denial to access:
“Thousands of technology, finance and manufacturing companies are working closely with U.S. national security agencies, providing sensitive information and in return receiving benefits that include access to classified intelligence, four people familiar with the process said.
“These programs, whose participants are known as trusted partners, extend far beyond what was revealed by Edward Snowden, a computer technician who did work for the National Security Agency”
And then, you have intelligence websites have to choose sides and push the CIA’s neo-con agenda to let the agency know you are on board & willing to play ‘team’ ball:
“Discord and disharmony are not novel concepts in American political life. But the current situation is anything but conventional. It is not normal for the president to summarily fire the chief legal counsel to the US government —acting or not. Nor is it normal for his national security advisor, a man who is privy to the most sensitive secrets of the US government, to be the subject of a counterintelligence investigation, and for one of his senior aides to be denied a security clearance by the CIA. It is unprecedented for a US president to question the usefulness of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization while seemingly consenting to Russia’s annexation of an important American ally —namely Ukraine. It is equally remarkable to watch conservative governments in Western Europe warn against US policies and even refuse to have Mr. Trump address their parliaments. We are witnessing unparalleled developments of inconceivable magnitude, with implications that may well shape the future of America and its place in the world” [bold added, RTW]
Talk about piling the s**t on with a steam shovel named the great sycophant, the ‘Russia annexed Ukraine’ part is beyond political fellatio. Insofar as Ukraine, Kosovo was a weaker example but set a precedent. When the current Ukrainian regime came to power in what the head of STRATFOR had called “the most blatant coup in history” (correctly noted to have been directed by the Americans), Russia acted in its own strategic interest but also with a stronger argument than Kosovo’s enforced split from Serbia by NATO. Crimea had been Russia for 200 years prior to 1954 and its administrative transfer to Ukraine. It’s populace (as cited by the Russians’ in international law) were possessed of the ‘right of self determination’ and there was a referendum held every party to the controversy knew would favor Crimea returning to Russia. As for the Donbass region (southeast of Ukraine), the majority ethnic Russians want nothing to do with the coup government in Kiev. That shouldn’t surprise anyone as it was the leadership aligned with Russia was tossed in the coup. Insofar as corruption, both administrations were/are notorious. The only net gain was heightened tensions with Russia, good for the military-industrial business bottom line.
The western bloc suffers ineptitude and has show poor leadership & decision taking and much of the west’s problems with Russia have been of their own making; not least reneging on George H.W. Bush’s verbal (vital from the Russian view) promise NOT to move NATO’s borders east with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The more NATO moves in ways that can be interpreted as boxing in Russia, the more assertive Russia will become, this is so deeply ingrained in human nature, it’s close to a law of physics. The one-sided perception of this from western view was briefly illuminated by AP reporter Matt Lee when he challenged the Department of State’s John Kirby with ‘You’re moving NATO’s borders to the borders of Russia and claiming Russia is threatening NATO’s borders because Russia has Russian military in Russia.’
Just now Russia has real leadership (whether one admires Putin or not) where the NATO nations have inept-corrupt politicians (for example one need look no farther than the current French campaign) and recently a great American buffoon (you’re fired!) surrounded by competing interests has risen the top, almost all of which said interests are opposed to Trump as a threat to those very interests. Speaking of ‘you’re fired!’ … where is CIA Director Mike Pompeo when it is he should be firing everyone at CIA refusing to cooperate with the new president? Why hasn’t Pompeo stopped the agency in its tracks with the attacks on Trump? Is Pompeo sitting on his hands while looking forward to ‘business as usual’ under a soon to be President Pence?
Trump’s election actually does threaten the balance worked out between special interests in DC, which in turn threatens to upend the entirety of the system’s function for the fact of the system had become so deaf to the desires and needs of its citizens which, predictably over the long haul, delivered us someone, anyone, that wasn’t the perceived as bought mainstream or DC insider. That’s how we got Trump.
Odds are, when the dust settles with Trump’s almost certain removal, via a treasonous CIA instigated coup, a new storm will kick up because the root cause will not have been addressed; political apparatus out of touch with the realities and demands of its’ citizenry, including many of the conservative voters who will reject Pence for the very reasons they chose Trump over the several losing competitors in the Republican primaries.
The USA is in deep trouble, both at home and abroad. The old status quo didn’t know how to, or what is worse, didn’t care to repair our national circumstance. Everyone owes too much to special interests for the places they sit at the apex of power. They had to buy their way in and finally the voters delivered them a joker. When the joker is bounced out the door, there will be no returning to business as usual, there is too much anger and too many divisions … and the system is become corrupted to point it is designed to cull any leadership that isn’t beholden to a class that has separated itself from the ordinary. The beginning of the end of empire, as it were. I expect things will get worse before they get better and in fact circumstance may never get better.
This last is because Pence himself represents an apocalyptic religious entity opposed to rule of law based in constitutional order. Ready for literal Armageddon? How does one prepare for that?
Update: Within hours of my posting this assessment, CIA Director Mike Pompeo has stated:
“The CIA does not, has not, and will never hide intelligence from the president, period. We are not aware of any instance when that has occurred”
Now, this is either disingenuous or flat out wrong. How is that? Where is Pompeo on the CIA demonstrated to be pushing a ‘the Russians hacked the election’ psychological operation and feeding this lie to the public?
“A secret CIA assessment found that Russian operatives covertly interfered in the election campaign in an attempt to ensure the Republican candidate’s victory, the Washington Post reported, citing officials briefed on the matter”
[former UK ambassador Craig] Murray said: “I know who leaked them. I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things”
Complicit in the treason? Now, the question Mike Pompeo has not addressed: Has the CIA informed Trump of the particulars concerning the CIA false-flag information operation directed at undermining Trump, blamed in media on the Russians? Certainly not. In which case the CIA actually HAS with-held critical intelligence from the president. Mike Pompeo just lied about information sharing with the president on a critical count. How can we expect anything coming out of Pompeo’s mouth is on the up & up, following on this? We can’t.
What Pompeo doesn’t know, won’t hurt him. In the alternative scenario, CIA Director Pompeo himself is kept in the dark on the issue by the CIA. How can we expect anything coming out of Pompeo’s mouth is on the up & up, following on this? We can’t.
In this second, immediately preceding possibility, CIA Director Mike Pompeo is demonstrated to be dumber than a box of rocks; for the reasons he did not independently discover, on an issue critical to Trump, what is easily available in open source: A former, entirely credible, UK ambassador, Craig Murray, stating the CIA’s ‘Russian hack’ was in actuality a leak from a DNC insider, from a source Murray attests he had personally met (going to the assassination of Seth Rich, see the link ‘Incompetent Espionage & WikiLeaks’, below.)
Any director of CIA that didn’t independently check into an ongoing story attacking his boss, a story of Russian interference in a report acknowledged to have been produced by a CIA agency famous (inside the intelligence community) for its psychological and false-flag information operations, would have to be either complicit in the treason or so incompetent as to be unfit to hold the office.

“guest” remarking in the comments at jameslafond.com, where a version of this article is posted as ‘the coup’ states:
Here is how William Binney, a former intelligence official turned whistle-blower puts it:
“We were coming into conflict with what I refer to as ‘feasting’ by the corporations that were leeches on the side of NSA and other agencies of the government, the ‘military industrial happiness management complex’. They were keeping each other happy: officials would retire from government, go to work for those corporations, the corporations would send people in to manage the programs, they’d get the contracts back and they’d feed some more.
“It’s a circle, it just keeps going round. The entire leadership at NSA was focused this way and they wanted no creativity, no innovation, no problem solved, “keep the problem going so the money keeps flowing” that was their vision statement, I just didn’t realize it.
“They didn’t want success, because that means you solved the problem, which they need to ask for more money to feed the corporations”
Trump is throwing a wrench into this symbiosis, so he better buckle up!

As we see Washington DC tearing itself apart, I expect there are presently about four ‘deep state’ factions vying for control, inclusive of a Brzezinski aligned rogue CIA cell, set up prior to Obama’s exit, to undermine a Kissinger aligned faction of ’national security professionals’ backing Trump. Both factions are truly nasty players and then you have the apocalyptic Doug Coe led Christian cult, and the USA’s messianic Israeli aligned neocon Jewish clique they sleep with, or AIPAC Zionists (Christian & Jewish) embedded in all of this, where there is not only nastiness but irrationality.
All of these elements have managed to secure positions in the Trump administration.
Trump had to toss a political sop to the religious right led by the deep state Coe cult represented in V.P. Pence, as well (the waiting to be confirmed) Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, who was almost immediately sidelined by Trump with his National Security Council changes. Trump should hope Sessions confirmation will fail but Pence is in the loop to stay.
The Coe cult’s Jewish Zionist partners at AIPAC are solidly in via Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. These are two groups that cynically use each other, the messianic (waiting to be saved from themselves) Jewish Zionists require the far more numerous Christian Zionists to advance their ‘Greater Israel’ agenda and the fundamentalist Christian Zionists depending on the Jewish Zionists realizing a ‘Greater Israel’ to fulfill apocalyptic bible prophecy. Yeah, amazingly, that shit plays at the top levers of power.
Then we have the Brzezinski versus Kissinger visions of global dominance, which differ more in style than substance. Rabid Russophobe Brzezinski, with his more direct & confrontational style, had the upper hand for these past eight years of the neo-liberal Obama rule and now the snake charmer & hypnotist Kissinger’s people are trying to hijack the the Trump national security agenda. This brings us to ‘the cell.’
The Cell
“Brennan had a 25-year career as a spy overseas and a top analyst and executive at home” -from ‘A Man in Full – exclusive interview with CIA Director John Brennan’ by Irish Central News
It’s nice when the spooks let their guard down, maybe Brennan had too much good Irish beer? By comparison, the CIA website’s Brennan mini-bio is evasive. But now we can know Brennan is a veteran of the CIA’s clandestine services, not merely an analyst and ladder climbing bureaucrat with a stint as chief of station in Saudi Arabia. This is an important distinction.
Obama is our second president with closely interlinked CIA ties in his history (a second, longer and more thorough investigative result HERE), the first being George H.W. Bush. But Obama is the first to altogether attempt concealment of those ties. Nowhere in his biography does Obama admit his mother was a clandestine services officer or that Obama himself had been employed by CIA business fronts as a young man. Meanwhile, mainstream media not only shields Obama from his CIA association but does the CIA’s bidding and has for a very long time:
“In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of America’s leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA” -first paragraph of Carl Bernstein’s ‘CIA and the Media’
CIA information operations opposing Trump continue as though John Brennan had never left and Mike Pompeo had never arrived. This ‘deep state’ phenomenon has been acknowledged by spooks to academia:
“He decided to explore the similarities in a 30-page paper that he sent around to a number of his friends, asking them to validate or refute his argument. As it happens, Glennon’s friends were an extraordinarily well-informed bunch, mostly seasoned operatives in the CIA, the U.S. State Department and the military. “Look,” he told them. “I’m thinking of writing a book. Tell me if this is wrong.” Every single one responded, “What you have here is exactly right”
The difference between Trump-Pompeo and Obama-Brennan? Obama-Brennan both have histories that tie deeply into the CIA clandestine services, they are ‘insiders’, whereas Trump and Pompeo are not. The National Clandestine Service (formerly the Directorate of Operations) is a small, comparatively speaking, highly cellularized organization with absolute ability to perform autonomously; the only checks on such compartments are, in many cases, trust in the personnel assigned. As a historically George H.W. Bush fan club, in many cases stacked with anti-Castro Cuban exiles, making a case for one or more of our National Clandestine Service cells ‘going off the reservation’ to serve personal loyalties, is not a stretch of the imagination. Moreover, it is not far-fetched at all, to propose ‘independent’ cells formed by National Clandestine Service employees and/or veterans, operating without the nebulous agency oversight in relation to covert actions and false flag information operations. The “Russians hacked the elections” CIA information operation and the “fake news” psychological operation, though experiencing serious miss-steps, haven’t slowed down. Again, it’s as though Brennan had never left, and Pompeo had never arrived, at Langley, Virginia.
Since the days of Allen Dulles directorship at CIA, the agency’s National Clandestine Service has been closely intertwined with American corporations pursuit of ‘America’s vital interests’ which is euphemism for taking the natural resources wealth of other nations at the point of a gun with bayonet. From the crude oil grab of the 1953 CIA overthrow of Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddeq, to the present attempted ‘regime change’ in Syria over a gas pipeline, this CIA legacy closely intertwines with the Allen Dulles CIA’s Bush family & family ‘friends’ (corporate interests) for many decades (2nd article HERE)
“Early in 1933, both Dulles brothers [Allen & John Foster] attended a meeting in Germany where German industrialists agreed to back Hitler’s bid for power in exchange for his pledge to break the German unions. A few months later, John Foster Dulles negotiated a deal with Hitler’s economics minister whereby all German trade with the United States would be coordinated through a syndicate headed by Averell Harriman’s cousin. With the Nazis enforcing a favorable climate for business, the profits for Thyssen and other companies soared, and the Union Banking Corporation increasingly became a Nazi money-laundering machine. In 1934, George Herbert Walker placed [son-in-law] Prescott Bush [father of George Herbert Walker Bush, father of George W. Bush] on Union Bank’s board of directors, and Bush and Harriman also began to use the bank as the basis for a complex and deceptive system of holding companies”
The transition from the younger George Bush to Obama had been seamless, with Robert Gates, the former CIA director for a former CIA director turned president (Bush Sr) staying on as Secretary of Defense from Bush Jr to Obama. The brilliance of the Obama ‘hope & change’ psychological operation in fact enabled Obama to push the Bush family’s CIA aligned agenda forward without missing a beat. Gates is so close to George H.W. Bush, he could be considered a brother of George W. Bush. Another dead giveaway it was to be Bush CIA aligned business as usual on Obama’s watch was Obama’s first National Security Advisor, General James Jones, is a close Chevron associate of Condoleezza Rice.
Trump’s ‘election by accident’ (probably no one was surprised by his victory so much as Trump) appears to have thrown a monkey wrench into the gears of what Tufts University Professor Glennon has labeled a ‘shadow government.’ The long out of favor Kissinger fans in the national security apparatus long shot bet on Trump (they had no other candidate) paid off and we see a power struggle playing out with the largely Bush aligned CIA National Clandestine Service, the location or origin of what is likely an Obama-Brennan legacy or ‘the cell’ set out to undermine and wreck Trump’s chances at anything and everything; in addition to what’s more actually tearing this all apart from within: a tale of two visions – Brzezinski versus Kissinger – with CIA largely opposed to Trump but, courtesy of Trump son-in-law Kushner and Israeli operatives/allies at AIPAC, Netanyahu’s MOSSAD should be firmly on Trump’s side. The Israeli intelligence agency is a by far greater threat to our republic than the Russians. Finally, the Christian apocalyptic Coe cult is one step away from the Presidency with Vice President Pence’s elevation, likely giving at least some of the spooks at the National Clandestine Service second thoughts about knocking Trump off. But, you can’t even count on that, because, the foremost expert on the religious freaks aspect of this, Jeff Sharlet, in a 2003 interview, had stated concerning the Coe cult:
“A lot of their key men in a country would be the intelligence [CIA] officers in the American embassy. Throughout their correspondence, that’s the kind of guy they would like to have involved”
How this plays out is anyone’s guess. Previous to this we had something like a consensus autocracy by concealed committee of separate but cooperating factions (since JFK), is my impression. But they got too greedy for the resources of empire and the whole thing is tearing itself apart as the White blue collar American middle class had been bled to death and the anger mounted, electing Trump. What Trump will do almost certainly won’t be very smart but I actually somewhat (my evil side) enjoy watching the long vested criminal interests sincerely freaking out.
If this all seems impossible for Trump (not to mention the rest of us) to escape without serious harm, I would agree, except for the remote possibility of escape by luck approaching a miracle .. such as the time when walking through tall grass in Vietnam I had stepped on a large brown monocled cobra; where the snake chose to go down a hole at hand rather than bite me.

In any democracy, ethics, self restraint, tolerance and honesty will always take a second seat to narcissism, avarice, bigotry & persecution, if only because people who play by the rules in any democracy are at a disadvantage to those who easily subvert the rules to their own advantage (Ronald’s Maxim)
^ To Newsweek’s Jeff Stein .. Let’s help you sort this out
While Jeff Stein at Newsweek carries water for the CIA in its’ feud with Trump, one wonders how Mike Pompeo will play it (behind the scene.) What is today’s fake news generated out of Langley, Virginia? Try this:
“For decades, CIA and U.S. military intelligence spy recruiters have held out the promise of eventual resettlement in America to induce foreigners to turn coat and work secretly for the United States against terrorist groups or repressive governments. In reality, many were caught before they ever made it, but during the Cold War countless Eastern Europeans living under communist rule, and more recently, Muslims across the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, have worked secretly for U.S. spy agencies on the promise that they or their children would eventually be extracted. Another effective recruiting tool for U.S. operatives has been to offer their agents’ families medical care or education in the United States”
The intelligence community’s veterans are squealing like stuck pigs over the Muslim visa ban, according to Stein, although he puts it more along the lines of shedding tears:
“Absolutely,” agreed Cindy Storer, a former member of the CIA intelligence team that tracked al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden. “It hurts,” she said in a brief interview. “Capital h-u-r-t-s”
Two things about the preceding quote that concerns intelligence officer turned journalist Stein; the first is, if Stein was being straight with his readers, yeah the ‘rewards program’ worked when it was a Pakistani ISI officer walked in to bag the $25 million reward and a good life in the USA because the CIA couldn’t find its own ass with both hands let alone find bin Laden. But Stein avoids informing his readers how incompetent Central Intelligence has been (what a story that is.) The second thing is, Cindy Storer, Alfreda Bikowsky’s (speaking of stupid) bin Laden hunting professional associate, specifies “Capital h-u-r-t-s” and Stein quotes her using lower case. There’s brilliance for you.
What’s another prominent example of the ‘rewards’ program? How about CIA 3rd party contract ‘torture darling’ Omar Sulieman suddenly ‘falls ill’ and is whisked away to the USA for ‘medical’ treatment about the time Sulieman boss Mubarak’s Egyptian regime was coming apart at the seams and he rather quickly died in hospital. Problem witness silenced (Sulieman ran the CIA’s outsourced torture program in Egypt that Senator Feinstein’s torture investigation never touched.) With friends like CIA…
But neither of these case examples would have been impacted because Trump’s visa ban doesn’t cover Egypt or Pakistan. Oh, and ‘the ban’ doesn’t ban radicalized Islam’s Wahabi terrorist central: Saudi Arabia. Huh. And there’s another thing; the Langley spooks’ prostitute journalist (whether Stein realizes it or not, but hard to believe not, when it’s a former intelligence officer reporting) is almost certainly fronting this as a cover story. So what are the spooks actually fighting for, what is the CIA’s hidden agenda here? Let’s try this…
“During the 1980s, the CIA recruited and trained Muslim operatives to fight the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Later, the CIA would move those operatives from Afghanistan to the Balkans, and then to Iraq, Libya, and Syria, traveling on illegal US visas”
…according to Former USA consular officer in Saudi Arabia, Michael Springmann
What’s more is, when Springmann had been a consular officer in Jedda, Saudi Arabia:
“Michael Springmann, head US consular official in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, later claims that during this period he is “repeatedly ordered… to issue [more than 100] visas to unqualified applicants.” He turns them down, but is repeatedly overruled by superiors
“In one case, two Pakistanis apply for visas to attend a trade show in the US, but they are unable to name the trade show or city in which it will be held. When Springmann denies them a visa, he gets “an almost immediate call from a CIA case officer, hidden in the commercial section [of the consulate], that I should reverse myself and grant these guys a visa.” Springmann refuses, but the decision is reversed by the chief of the consular section”
I suppose a ban could cramp the CIA’s game of shuffling ‘moderate opposition’ around the globe, particularly those from ‘banned’ countries. Certainly we wouldn’t want a precedent like this set because our ‘moderate’ opposition leadership qualifying for the CIA ‘rewards program’ and life in the USA, can’t all be Pakistanis, Egyptians and Saudis. After all, what would the CIA do if it couldn’t move its’ al Qaida fighters into Kosovo and Bosnia? And then on to Syria where we discover:
“There is no difference between “moderate” rebels and al-Qaeda (al-Nusra) or ISIS — they are all the same” -US Representative Tulsi Gabbard, following on location (Syria) fact finding mission.
And finally, we have a 2009 interview by retired CIA officer Phillip Giraldi, with former FBI documents translator Sibel Edmonds:
EDMONDS: Okay. So these conversations, between 1997 and 2001, had to do with a Central Asia operation that involved bin Laden. Not once did anybody use the word “al-Qaeda.” It was always “mujahideen,” always “bin Laden” and, in fact, not “bin Laden” but “bin Ladens” plural. There were several bin Ladens who were going on private jets to Azerbaijan and Tajikistan. The Turkish ambassador in Azerbaijan worked with them.
“There were bin Ladens, with the help of Pakistanis or Saudis, under our management. [The USA Department of State’s] Marc Grossman was leading it, 100 percent, bringing people from East Turkestan into Kyrgyzstan, from Kyrgyzstan to Azerbaijan, from Azerbaijan some of them were being channeled to Chechnya, some of them were being channeled to Bosnia. From Turkey, they were putting all these bin Ladens on NATO planes. People and weapons went one way, drugs came back”
‘Rewards’ visas might be really, very handy, even necessary, to enable operations like the immediate preceding. Enough said? You think? Maybe one more thing; a former clandestine services case officer informs me: “CIA actually issues its own visas and has many ways to completely by-pass the system” in which case the entire premise of Jeff Stein’s article is bogus from the get-go. So what’s the problem? Too little resources devoted to CIA clandestine services forgeries to give up the Department of State visas issued on false pretext? All of the Libyan ‘rewards worthy’ fighters with fake ‘moderate opposition’ Syrian passports have to be re-papered as Egyptians? Too much work to get around increasingly sophisticated border controls where CIA vetted® & moderate™ Salafist militants shouldn’t risk getting busted with multiple identities due to advancing technologies like biometrics? Is it as simple as certain parties at the CIA, in their ongoing feud with Trump, simply wish to smear Trump in the public mind on a national security issue?
At the end of the day it’s anybody’s guess what is behind the patent bullshit in the Newsweek article. What we do know is, other than the certain fact the article is classic misdirection concerning intelligence and would appear to be a psyop fed to the American public, the Trump order seems to have put a bug up the intelligence community’s butt.
Tip of the hat to Intel News (irony, my comment pointing out former consular officer Springmann’s narrative was disallowed, and that is what actually inspired this piece)
