September 5, 2005

Life inside the White House is like being in a zoo at feeding time only in this case, it is the public that is feeding on the animals. There is complete panic here as it is finally being realized that Bush has shot himself, and his friends, in the feet and they are all running around holding round the clock meetings to plan how to further con the American public. I said recently that Bush and his henchmen are racists. They are and now I can see this awful truth emerging in the mainline media. I have said before that this present administration is even more corrupt than the Grant and Harding ones. Neither Grant nor Harding were personally corrupt but in the present case, Bush is worse than his hirelings.

As a case in point, let’s discuss FEMA here. There is no point in giving a background to this organization other than to say: The organization is called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Originally conceived in the Richard Nixon Administration, it was a product of a Presidential Executive Order, Executive Order Number 12148, and it was refined by President Jimmy Carter and given teeth in the Ronald Reagan and George Bush Administrations.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is under the newly-created Department of Homeland Security and interfaces with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies, the bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic. Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry.

FEMA has worked on National Security programs since 1979, and its predecessor, the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency, has secretly spent millions of dollars before being merged into FEMA by President Carter in 1979.

FEMA has developed 300 sophisticated mobile units that are capable of sustaining themselves for a month. The vehicles are located in five areas of the United States. They have tremendous communication systems and each contains a generator that would provide power to 120 homes each, but have never been used for disaster relief.

Under emergency plans already in existence, the power exists to suspend the Constitution and turn over the reigns of government to FEMA and appointing military commanders to run state and local governments. FEMA then would have the right to order the detention of anyone whom there is reasonable ground to believe...will engage in, or probably conspire with others to engage in acts of espionage or sabotage. The plan also authorized the establishment of concentration camps for detaining the accused, but no trial.

Now that we have a background on FEMA, who is in full charge of the disaster in the Gulf, let’s look at the man who directs it, Michael Brown., or “Brownie” (no doubt referring to the color of his nose)as the President likes to call him.

From an official puff-piece we read: “Michael D. Brown was nominated by President George W. Bush as the first Under Secretary of Emergency Preparedness and Response in the newly created Department of Homeland Security in January 2003. As the head of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Under Secretary Brown leads federal disaster response and recovery operations and coordinates disaster activities with more than two dozen federal agencies and departments and the American Red Cross. He also oversees the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration, and initiates proactive mitigation activities.

Additionally, Under Secretary Brown helps the Secretary of Homeland Security ensure the effectiveness of emergency responders, and directs the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Integration Center, the National Disaster Medical System and the Nuclear Incident Response Team.

Under Secretary Brown has led Homeland Security’s response to more than 164 presidentially declared disasters and emergencies, including the 2003 Columbia Shuttle disaster and the California wildfires in 2003. In 2004, Mr. Brown led FEMA’s thousands of dedicated disaster workers during the most active hurricane season in over 100 years, as FEMA delivered aid more quickly and more efficiently than ever before.

Previously, Mr. Brown served as FEMA's Deputy Director and the agency's General Counsel. Shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks, Mr. Brown served on the President's Consequence Management Principal's Committee, which acted as the White House's policy coordination group for the federal domestic response to the attacks. Later, the President asked him to head the Consequence Management Working Group to identify and resolve key issues regarding the federal response plan. In August 2002, President Bush appointed him to the Transition Planning Office for the new Department of Homeland Security, serving as the transition leader for the EP&R Division.

Prior to joining FEMA, Mr. Brown practiced law in Colorado and Oklahoma, where he served as a bar examiner on ethics and professional responsibility for the Oklahoma Supreme Court and as a hearing examiner for the Colorado Supreme Court. He had been appointed as a special prosecutor in police disciplinary matters. While attending law school he was appointed by the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee of the Oklahoma Legislature as the Finance Committee Staff Director, where he oversaw state fiscal issues. His background in state and local government also includes serving as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight and as a city councilman.

Mr. Brown was also an adjunct professor of law for the Oklahoma City University.

A native of Oklahoma, Mr. Brown holds a bachelor's degree in Public Administration/Political Science from Central State University, Oklahoma. He received his J.D. from Oklahoma City University’s School of Law. “

Brown, has never had any experience with crisis management, other than being removed as an executive of the International Arabian Horse Association for, as the numerous lawsuits filed against him state, “for intentional interference with prospective business advantage; 3) defamation; and 4) violation of the Colorado Consumer Products Act.” This ugly business can be found in public records, viz

David C. Boggs vs. IAHA, Michael Brown, Tom Connelly, and Mary Anne Grimmell

Civil Action No. 99-CV-3430, Division 3,District Court, Arapahoe County, State of Colorado October, 1999

When Brown was elevated to high political office by Bush’s order, the press release read:

“From 1991 to 2001, Brown was the Commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association, an international subsidiary of the national governing organization of the U.S. Olympic Committee.”

IAHA was never connected to the Olympic Committee, but then, the White House never tells the truth either.

Brown joined the Bush administration in February 2001 as General Counsel for FEMA. Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, he was nominated by Bush to be the deputy director of FEMA and was confirmed in that position by the U.S. Senate on Aug. 1, 2002.

As deputy director, Brown functioned as FEMA's Chief Operating Officer, assisting Director Joe M. Allbaugh, Brown’s college roommate, with oversight of the agency's activities. In particular, Brown served on Bush's Consequence Management Principals Committee, which functioned as the policy coordination group within the White House for the federal government's domestic response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The President later asked him to head the Consequence Management Working Group to identify and resolve key issues regarding the federal response plan. Brown also played a key role in managing FEMA's recovery programs for the victims of the World Trade Center attacks. Brown assisted Allbaugh with the approval of $5.5 billion dollars in federal assistance for New York City and anticipates the total to reach nearly $9 billion.

Brown is a grossly incompetent recipient of naked political patronage, but he is a Bush loyalist, all that matters to the President. To highlight the FEMA director’s total inability to function, a number of incidents arising from the New Orleans disaster need to be highlighted. These are not from secret files but taken directly from mainline media coverage such as the New York Times September 5, 2005:

· The hospital ship, USS Bataan “equipped with six operating rooms, hundreds of hospital beds and the ability to produce 100,000 gallons of fresh water a day” was sitting in the Gulf of Mexico, unoccupied by a single person, by specific order of FEMA director Brown.

· Wal-Mart sent “three trailer trucks of water” to the stricken area but these were deliberately turned away by FEMA officials.

· FEMA workers prevented the U.S. Coast Guard, the only federal agency that effectively saved lives, from delivering 1,000 gallons of badly-needed diesel fuel to hospitals needing it to fuel their emergency generators,

· FEMA workers deliberately cut the emergency communications network in New Orleans, causing local police officials to reinstall it and post armed guards to prevent angry FEMA employees from further attempts to disconnect it.

· FEMA workers deliberately blocked badly-needed aid from other states, including offers from Chicago’s mayor Daley, and the Governor of New Mexico, Richardson.

The opportunities to take a profit from disaster lie in this: FEMA is given huge sums of money by Congress to deal with national emergencies. This money is to be spent at the pleasure of the Director of FEMA and is not to be accounted for. A good investigative reporter, wishing to make a name for himself and his paper, ought to dig, as I have done, into the payment of “Disaster Relief” funds in the aftermath of the Florida hurricanes. It would be interesting to note which companies, run by staunch Republicans and Bush supporters, took in enormous sums of money and, even more interesting, how much of this largess was funneled back into the hands of those who gave it out in the first place.

The results of this investigation would, <>without question<., make even more embarrassment for the Bush people than their flippant and unconcerned behavior during recent days. Great embarrassment indeed. Knowing what I do, New York Attorney General Spitzer would have half of FEMA under investigation but in the end, Bush would never replace Brown. To the President, blind loyalty and financial usefulness is far more important to him than peculations, thefts and moral leprosy.

During the Middle Ages, so-called alchemists labored for decades to transmute lead into gold but with no success. Now, we see the Bush administration completely successful in transmuting blood into gold…and lining their pockets with it.

The terrible disaster in New Orleans was not unforeseen. In spite of his too-little too-late bleatings, Bush personally scrapped a multi-million dollar program to strengthen the dikes around that flooded mass of tragedy but took the money for his criminal war in Iraq.

We now see a genuine phenomenon with dozens of American television reporters, on the ground and on the scene in New Orleans and southern Mississippi, turning against both the Administration and the governments of both Louisiana and Mississippi for their utter failure to relieve the terrible suffering of hundreds of thousands of trapped, starving and sick citizens.

I would like to add something to the bubbling pot that might cast a light on the disgusting official breakdown of rescue and support. This afternoon, I was having lunch at the Cosmos Club out on Massachusetts Avenue. A good friend is a member of the posh club (that once was the elegant town home of Sumner Welles), and while at lunch, I was privy to a very vocal conversation at one of the big round center tables in the club dining room.

One man was giving an overview of the situation to a group of his friends. The speaker was an undersecretary of an important department, well-liked by Bush and often in the White House to consult. The others ranged from an academic economist whose writings can be seen in a right wing paper and a number of Washington-based businessmen, all of whom are active and heavy contributors to the Bush White House.

The loud one had obviously had a few drinks at the bar and this is probably why he was not more discreet. The gist of his comments was horrible to contemplate and it sounded like a top Nazi discussing Jews.

It is well known here that the Bush family and many of the top advisers at the White House are racists but instead of detesting Jews, in this case, they all detest blacks. Their rationale, aside from their view of racial superiority, is that blacks are all “welfare queens, unwed mothers and drug dealers.” It was the very firmly stated view of the host that it was better for everyone that New Orleans was under water for the time being.

In that way, we were told (and I was not the only person in the dining room who heard all this), this served to “chase out the niggers” and permit Bush-supporting businessmen from buying up the soon-to-be condemned sodden houses for five cents on the dollar from friendly insurance companies (which one of them was a CEO of) and put up an enlarged and very profitable combination of industrial park and office building section. The money for this would, naturally, come from government grants which a terrified Congress (Mid Term elections are coming) had just voted for and the contracts to demolish the wrecked low-income slums would go, as a no-bid contract, to another stellar Bush supporter.

As for the refugees, our table of proto-fascists all commented on the fact that most of them were on welfare and probably all voted Democratic so they could all be shipped to California or Chicago at the public expense and allowed to occupy less valuable public housing there.

This conversation went on in a similar vein for some time and it was difficult for both myself and my host to refrain from making nasty comments or, for that matter, to enjoy our meal. These people are greedy and purely evil and I am <>positive<> from the overall conversations that Bush is conversant with this attitude and has no intentions of interfering with it.

He had an unparalleled opportunity to revive his sagging opinion polls and make an appearance in New Orleans, naturally with an army of sycophants and eager media, and be seen (in a safe place…probably in Baton Rouge…because the desperate black citizens of New Orleans have taken to shooting at people and Bush is scared to death of violence) holding a small and photogenic black child whilst comforting its mother. Instead, Bush, typically, opted to sail overhead in his luxury Air Force One and having seen the inundated city below, retired to his small but elegant dining room for a nice lunch with some of his top aides.

I should also note here that Bush now has added the Mayor of New Orleans and a half a dozen irate and very articulate news reporters to his hate list because they have <>dared<> to criticize him to a very large audience.

Maybe this time, the Democrats will organize and nail him and his friends to a wall somewhere and then open the flood gates and watch them drown like the rats that they are.

I have spoken several times about the strong possibility of a joint US/Israeli attack on Iran. This has not happened but understand that it has been on the drawing board for some time now waiting for events to “clarify” as the President says. Also being planned is a January, 2006, attack on Syria. This is not because Syria threatens the United States (to the contrary, seeing the destruction and slaughter of civilians the US troops are wreaking daily in their neighbor, they want nothing to do with us. The idea is that Kurdish oil from northern Iraq is wanted to ship, via a pipeline across Syria, to a shipping port in Haifa, Israel. At one stroke, Israel will gain access to cash-rich oil and get rid of a military and political danger on its eastern flanks. They hope the U.S. will do al the dirty work…and especially to suffert he casualties. They are weighing this now at the highest levels. Question: Would the American people put up with another disastrous war? The answer is probably not but Israeli pressure in Washington is awesome.

I have seen, and copied, a list of the US units have been earmarked for the actions against Syria, in the event that they are needed. A significant number of these are:

Also, on a final note, know that the recent “assassinate Chavez” crap from the loony Pat Robertson was a cooked-up deal between Rove and Robertson. Nothing would happen to Brother Pat but it would clearly serve (as it did) to kick the Sheehan woman off the front pages. I hope you notice that previous press comments about Karl Rove, the Fat Eunuch, being put in the spotlight on the Plame business have suddenly, and very quietly, vanished. Rove and his crew of poison dwarves must love the damage down in New Orleans because it was becoming increasingly difficult to use the Aruba business to entertain the general public. Is the media controlled in America? Yes, Virginia, it is and Karl Rove is the very skilful ringmaster.. Some day, if there is a God, the tables will be turned and it will be our turn to take a bullwhip to his flabby big butt.

Bush was booed at a Vet’s meeting and there was genuine hostility evident…but of course the media “forgot” to report it. I was not there but a colleague was and he said Bush was livid with rage that anyone had dared to boo him and was heard to ask if somehow military pensions could be terminated! And at home, we have to put up with the manic mouthings of senile and vicious Pat Robertson. A fine soldier he would have made! I have a report that talks about how he ran weeping to his father, a Congressman, when he was on a troopship enroute to Korea and was promptly taken off and sent to a safer place. It’s amazing, looking at the sheep-faced anus, that one can pile shit so high and not have it fall over.

The problem is that Brother Pat does not represent the Christian Right. They are growing more and more disenchanted with Pat and Bush but can do nothing about him because Bush likes him and, in truth, agrees with the idea of offing Chavez.

I have to admit that some of the political planks in the Christian Right’s platform are not unattractive to me personally. They object to a steady diet of filth and sleaze in the flicks and on the boob tube. I personally find much of it disgusting and not even entertaining. Mel Gibson’s Jesus movie was nothing but a homosexual/sadism drama, badly done and in awful taste. I don’t personally approve of censorship but one of the reasons that Hollywood’s summer films are tanking badly at the box office is because a lot of the citizenry are getting fed up with slick, fake and lewd movies and won’t spent $10 a pop to go and take their kids. They won’t even go themselves. Not that I advocate the “Sound of Music” or “Mary Poppins” for one and all but most of the new films outdo each other in ripoffs of what has gone before, tarted up with nipples and foul language. Gas prices are causing spastic colon here.

No one can do anything about it and Bush doesn’t care. He isn’t running again and believe me, he has raked in the loot off the top during his eight years. Like all sleazoids, Bush leaves the mess he personally created for someone else to clear up. “Take the money and run,” is his motto. And remember that they are seriously planning to have a “military action” against Syria in January of 2006. Reason: The Israelis are working with us to secure Syria to permit an oil pipeline to run through conquered Syria from the Kurdish area of northern Iraq, pumping oil to Israel where a pumping station (for US oil tankers) will be set up near Haifa. In this way both of our forward-thinking, liberty-loving democracies will make lots of money, get more oil and get rid of the Syrians whom Sharon hates.

Aside from the growing catastrophe in Iraq, we are now sinking deeply into a disastrous economic swamp as far as oil is concerned. The world-wide depletion of oil reserves, the failure of the U.S. to get effective control of the huge Iraqi reserves, the growing need for oil in the rest of the world, especially China, Bush’s bullying and threatening attitude towards once-friendly oil producers and worst of all, the dawning realization on the part of Muslim Fundamentalist terrorists that the U.S. is growing every more dependant on oil to prevent serious public eruptions makes refineries, tankers, pipelines etc very tempting and easily attacked targets. Here is some information about our current stocks of oil held by the Government and under the direct control of the President:

· The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil. The federally-owned oil stocks are stored in huge underground salt caverns along the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico.

· Decisions to withdraw crude oil from the SPR are made by the President under the authorities of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. In the event of an energy emergency, SPR oil would be distributed by competitive sale. Although the SPR has been used for emergency purposes only once (during Operation Desert Storm in 1991), its formidable size (more than 600 million barrels) makes it a significant deterrent to oil import cutoffs and a key tool of foreign policy.

· Today, the SPR has the capacity to hold 727 million barrels. It is the largest emergency oil stockpile in the world. Together, the facilities and crude oil represent a more than $21 billion investment in energy security ($4 billion for facilities and $17 billion for crude oil).

· On November 13, 2001, President George W. Bush ordered the SPR to be filled to approximately 700 million barrels by continuing to use the Royalty-in-Kind program carried out jointly between the Department of Energy and the Department of the Interior. The royalty-in-kind program applies to oil owed to the U.S. government by producers who operate leases on the federally-owned Outer Continental Shelf. These producers are required to provide from 12.5 percent to 16.7 percent of the oil they produce to the U.S. government. The government can either acquire the oil itself or receive the equivalent dollar value

· Strategic Petroleum Reserve Inventory for August 11, 2005
Current Inventory
Sweet 284.6 million bbls
Sour 414.9 million bbls
Total 699.5 million bbls
Royalty-in-Kind to be Delivered 1.3 million bbls

While none of this is secret, it is also not generally known to the public. The price of oil to the United States is sharply escalating, partially because of the natural trends of the marketplace but also because of the aura of fear and hatred that Bush has deliberately fostered. He does not understand that if we were not so tied up militarily in Iraq, we would have plenty of troops available to enforce our acquisition of desperately needed oil. Try as he and his supporters may, the resistance in Iraq is far too effective and far too strong to permit U.S. exploitation of the huge Iraqi reserves (one of the main reasons for the war) and we could not invade Venezuela, also a strong desire on Bush’s part, because, frankly we do not have the troops. Bush doesn’t care what the UN or the rest of the world would say about such naked and greedy aggression but the vital troops are not there.

In point of fact, governors of mainly Republican states are wailing that Bush has stripped their State National Guards of warm bodies so that in the anticipated civil disturbances (skyrocketing oil, diesel fuel and heating oil prices followed by problems with truckers delivering food and supplies throughout the country because of exorbitant fuel prices) appearing on the horizon, there won’t be any force to deal with them except local police and, maybe, a mobilized fascistic Republican storm troopers made up of right wing nuts. Bush cannot recall troops now, as necessity dictates, because we are literally on the ropes in Iraq and Bush’s weak personality precludes him from taking even one step backwards. He feels, his aides have said repeatedly, that this would make him look “weak” (which he is) and this he will never permit.

All reputable foreign oil industry sources state that oil will certainly go as high as $100 a barrel but even if it does and riots ensue here as outraged citizens can no longer drive to work, to school, to shop, Bush has said categorically that he will never, never release a drop of the oil in the reserves. The military have put a stop to this saying that any future military action plans against Iran or North Korea, now in the works, would be useless without oil reserves to draw upon.

August 19, 2005

The oil situation is rapidly reaching critical mass. Bush’s arrogance and bullying tactics coupled with the disruption of Iraqi production added to the diminishing supply of oil is leading to a catastrophe here. Gas is shooting up at the pumps and although there are vast amounts of oil readily available in the Strategic Reserve, none of this will be released because the Bush people figure they can sell it for money which will help them out when they retire. Couple this with a growing resistance to the U.S. shouted demands to the rest of the world to obey it’s dictums or else, everyone now realizes that we are a paper tiger and cannot just assault Venezuela as we would love to do.

China and Russia are essentially rearming because they are afraid that an irrational Bush, losing power every day, might just launch some kind of an attack on them to divert the rest of the public from their growing, and serious, economic woes. Even the fanatic Republicans are getting nervous at what they elected and many, many members of Congress are beginning to hold private meetings, Republicans especially, to see how to distance themselves from Bush’s suicidal behavior without incurring his Imperial and spiteful wrath. That some kind of a revolt is looming in Congress is beyond a doubt but no one here has any idea of when or how.

August 15, 2005

There is a great flap in the Rove quarter here inside the Monkey Palace. While the Imperial President is taking a long vacation from his serious duties in Texas, Rove and his evil dwarves are doing their very best to trash Cindy Sheehan , the mother who lost a son in Iraq and whom the thoroughly arrogant and stupid President will not talk to. The ongoing plan is to get Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Couilter and Drudge and his pin headed friends to trash her. Rove calls this the “Grass-Roots Response” task force and orders have been issued to the Friends in the Media to go ahead. Faked interviews with obscure White House staffers disguised as grieving parents of the recently killed in Iraq have been going on in the basement for a week now and I happened to blunder into one. If it wasn’t so sick, it would be funny. This is just like something out of ‘Wag the Dog’ but in the case of Rove, it would be ‘Grease the Pig.’ Then these faked sound bites are sent off to paid media employees at the various networks: CNN, FOX, NBC and others to be played on prime time as “growing public outrage” at the “lies and self-seeking” efforts on the part of Ms. Sheehan and a “gang of left-wing Bush haters” and “anti-military left-wingers.”

I have seen one of the scripts that O’Reilly is supposed to read, and will read, believe me, and it reads like something Dr. Goebbels would have trouble with it’s so fake. Rumor around here has it (Bush is not here but his any friends are) is that he was ranting around his very bad taste “ranch house” that he wanted “that goddam bitch” arrested but since the media is now involved, the sight of Secret Service goons dragging off a Gold Star mother in front of the cameras is too much for anyone else (but Bush and Rove) to take. The Rove people, via the FBI, have been dredging the files looking for something…anything…bad to use against her. The slobbering Drudge would be given reports of jay walking, overdue library books, bad school grades or whatever these perverts can dig up. Well, to those of you fools who voted for him, George W. Bush is your man, not ours and you are stuck with him. You can wear the little flags or the crosses in your lapel but you still stink and shine like a dead mackerel in the moonlight.

August 10, 2005

Since you seem to have drawn down the twittering wrath of the infestation of bloggers on the internet, I ought to put out a bit of information on some of these creatures. There is serious and growing criticism against Bush and his destructive war and this has now reached a level as to thoroughly alarm both the White House that instigated the war and the Pentagon who has to maintain troop levels to replace the slaughtered.

It is no secret here that the Rove people have been hiring bloggers to put out a number of wild stories in the hopes that the internet people (who read other news than the crap from the controlled press and media) will be so bemused by stories of Bush being indicted or running away or of military plots against him that the terrible stories about the very high death and injury tolls will be forced off the net or so trashed that no one will believe them.

For an example of rabid pro-Bush propaganda, read Matt Drudge or NewsMax or watch FOX news. In the end, the nonsense will drift away like the phony smokescreen it is and the truth will once more become evident. People do not like being lied to but Rove feels that if he can distract the public and sidetrack serious and escalating criticism of his beloved sweetie, he will have succeeded.

August 8, 2005

Because of the growing importance of oil and the diminishing supply thereof, the Bush people, especially including Cheney, are growing more and more alarmed about the possibility that growing hostility towards Bush’s aggressive and imperialistic policies could further curtail the oil being sold to the US. Also, there is growing anger with both North Korea and Iran, both of whom (Pakistan, our bribed “friend” has dozens of atomic weapons and the capacity to deliver some of them to our enemies, is conveniently ignored these days) have the capacity to make, and probably have, atomic weapons.

In light of all this anxiety, the Neocons have concocted an interesting two pronged program to both secure unlimited amounts of guaranteed oil and neutralize both North Korea and Iran. These theses are expounded in a “secret” paper (there are no secrets in Washington) that has been circulating amongst the Bush people.

The idea will be for the CIA to cause “incidents” in Saudi Arabia that will terrify the Saud dynasty. The recent death of the invalid King is seen as an opportune moment to launch this operation. It is known that the Wahhbists (Saudi Muslim fundamentalists sponsored many years ago by King ibn Saud. Ed) are determined to oust the “hedonistic, pro-Westerners [Americans] and those who have turned from the True Faith.”

The Neocon plan is to so agitate the royal family with faked incidents, “proving” the dreaded Wahhbists are plotting a bloody overthrow, that the King will be offered a “sincere” plan on the part of the Americans.

If he is sufficiently alarmed, we would send in some “security specialists,” to include the FBI and military specialists, to “help the Saudi intelligence and local police” to regain and maintain strict control. Actually, these “professionals” would be the thin edge of the wedge. Once they are in, and the royal fears would have to overcome the bulk of Saudi Arabia’s detestation of both the U.S. and Israel to permit this, there would be more and more “professionals” coming in.

The plan is to downsize our troops in Iraq and move them to Saudi Arabia. Then, when we had enough troops to enforce matters, we would advise the royal family that the United States was taking Saudi Arabia “under its protection,” just like the Nazi Protectorate in former Czech lands, and we would not only be able to secure the oil but stop the Saudis from financing Muslim groups we did not approve of and, <>more important from the Israeli point of view<>, have the country as a rich, undisturbed forward base for the inevitable attack on Iran.

And that leads me to the second scenario. First, both Iran and North Korea will be heavily bribed by the Bush people to give up atomic research. Much will be promised and some things delivered and when these two “rebel states” are happy with an influx of new cars, money for the top leaders and Hollywood porn films and heroin for the masses, (the degeneration of Afghanistan in the past two years into the world's second worst narco-state, run by warlords friendly to the US, is not an accident - the Afghan heroin production is destined for Iran and is encouraged by the US) and lulled into a false sense of security, the US would strike suddenly and militarily to neutralize both countries.

Japan does not want to be the staging ground for such at attack on North Korea so we have chosen Okinawa. Now once we get our hands on North Korea, mass show trials and subsequent executions of the current militant Communist regime would follow. Bush himself insists on this.

As far as Iran is concerned, our beef is that they raided our Embassy years ago and humiliated us, have been supplying guns and money to groups of Muslims that fight against the US occupation troops, are daring to sell oil to the Chinese and not to us, and have establish an “unhealthy relationship” with the evil Putin’s Russia.

If there is any problem in Riyadh over our massive occupation forces, we will threaten the Saudis with destruction of the Muslim holy sites in Mecca, something the Israelis have been advocating for years now. That, as the Neocon paper says, “should force them into silence and continued cooperation.”

The only problem with this Hitlerian scheme is that someone inside one of the agencies has leaked the text of this paper, which is now circulating around here, to Tehran and very possibly, they will actually support a genuine fundamentalist rising in Saudi Arabia and then the US would be faced with another popular insurgency like they have basically lost in Iraq.

And like Iraq, we would then lose any claim to Saudi oil because if the fundamentalists get into power, we are automatically cut off, just like in Venezuela. We lost there because the clumsy CIA couldn’t get rid of Chavez and only made him more hostile.

Another factor in all of this oil business is the growing realization that the increasingly violent and more frequent hurricanes in the Gulf area are posing a real threat to our offshore oil drilling capacity. Two more Ivans in the same area could send domestic gas prices over $5.a gallon, hence the frenzy to guarantee (by force) the continued access to the Saudi oil resources.

The news from the front in Iraq is getting worse and worse but Bush pays no attention to it. It’s like water off of a duck’s back with him. Muslims could burn fifty GIs to death in front of a camera and while he’s lying around in Crawford (where he spends more time than the White House) he would go right on smiling at the cows. The high level military people are getting mad as hell but Bush pays no attention to them. Losses are getting out of hand and the news that there are hundreds of young GIs dumped into mass graves is going to come out and when it does, there will be real anger in the Pentagon…and nothing in the White House but yawns and little funny Texas stories from Bush. His sycophantic staff will all laugh and clap their backs at his stupid jokes, most of which have long beards and Bush will smirk and beam. I see that the Pentagon has reluctantly allowed to permit “a few” pictures of dead GI’s coffins at Dover but, as Bush says, “Goddam few!” In all truth, sarcasm aside, this has become an Imperial Elite House and Bush really thinks he is anointed by God to rule over the rest of us. He detests Congress and a “fucking talk shop” and no one dares to contradict him on any subject. He was bad enough in the beginning but I swear that he has slipped his leash and is a complete, certified megalomaniac. God save us all.

August 1, 2005

I am about to discuss an interesting topic, fully aware that jealous bloggers and Republicans will wail and rend their garments, saying all is vanity and vexation of spirit. There are plans, drawn up,but certainly not finalized, to withdraw a significant number of combat troops from Iraq under the pretext that everything is now OK, send them for R&R and then go after Iran. Yes, I know how this sounds and I can just see the idiot bloggers babbling about this but it is true. Is Bush going to do this? Bush wants to do this and when he wants to do something, he does it, regardless of how moronic or dangerous it is. None of his staff, or those who supply the Monkey Palace with information dare to produce anything that runs counter to the Imperial Will. Will Bush invade Iran? No, he won’t but it will not be for trying.

Case in point,: John Bolton is a loud-mouthed, arrogant prick who antagonizes everyone he comes in contact and is a worthless boor and egomaniac who is loathed everywhere he goes. In spite of this, Bush, who hates the UN, just bypassed Congress and sent Bolton to the UN as the US Ambassador. I met him once and he is the sort of snotty dog’s fundament you want to kick in the crotch while putting a cigarette out in his nose. But, Bush likes him and hates the UN so now the hog is in the garden, ripping up the beets. This is pure Bush. Not bright but very stubborn, he will bring a nuclear war down on us as sure as God made small green peas. He hates the military because he was a drunk who was basically 86ed from the USAF and never forgot the humiliation. Will he invade Iran? Israel wants him to and they have been pressuring him and his weak ego structure is such that he may very well do this, in spite of all the opinions of the sane part of the Beltway. It’s easy to say that the idiot fringe elected him but the rest of us will die alongside the rabid nuts if the Muslims set of a bomb somewhere which everyone I have met in DHS and the Pentagon who is aware of such things firmly believe will happen. One can only hope that Bush is trying to get a good suntan on the comparative safety of the White House roof (he is terrified of assassination and only goes outside when he has a bodyguard of three hundred agents) when the balloon goes up, or comes down.

July 27, 2005

Although it will never be published anywhere in the United States, I am sending you a foreign accounting, with ten pictures, of dead GIs that were simply dumped into shallow holes in the ground and left to rot. This Iraq business stinks, literally, beyond belief and if the American public ever discovers the truth about the endless deaths of their sons and lovers, the collapsing morale of the troops, and the increasing and unstoppable massacres and civil wars in Iraq, there will be terrible consequences come the mid-term elections.

This is Vietnam redux.

The Bush people think, hope and pray they can find something soon to distract the public and are certain that if they are successful, everyone will forget this disgusting business when they learn about a new and thrilling Michael Jackson-type scandal, real or invented, and they know for a certainty that the obedient press will make their usual mindless and distracting noises.

To call the American media a pack of whores would only serve to insult valuable members of the First Oldest Profession.


More comments on the “suicide bombers” in London.

A bunch of idealistic young Muslims, mostly Pakistani, were approached by someone currently unknown but most certainly not a terrorist, claiming to be “testing” the security on British public transportation. These idiots, who ought to have known better, were offered large (and of course unpaid) sums of money for these “security tests.” They were asked to get onto crowded commuter trains at peak hours carrying “dummy” backpacks, travel a specified distance and get off, bringing the packs with them. The poor schmucks were subsequently blown to bits when the “dummy” packs went off., which ensured their permanent silence, and the establishment in England now had a rallying cry for the discredited Tony Blair. Also, there is growing significant popular resentment in Britain against the huge influx of Arabs, blacks and others ‘coloured peoples” and this kind of provocation can be politically useful to someone, or some group, using immigration as a political issue. And is.

The U.S. is annoyed in the extreme with Britain because there are a large number of disaffected young Muslims who are allowed to travel to our dear ally, Pakistan, where they are recruited into Muslim jihadist schools and then allowed back in England to spread their deadly poison. There is a feeling here that the Brits ought to expel all such people to Pakistan or the West Indies and forbid them future entrance to England. There are strong suggestions here that all the disaffected Muslims should be stripped of U.S. citizenship (if they have it) and thrown out of the country. The President himself is a strong advocate of this draconian policy as is Cheney and a number of the Neocons.

Over fifty people dead but this is a typical sort of ploy for certain agencies to execute.

I remember an old British saying: ‘Treason doth never prosper/What’s the reason? Why if prospers, none dare call it treason!’ Apt. Or as a Greek writer once said, ‘Boys kill frogs for sport but the frogs die in earnest.’ Good morning, frogs, and be sure to die in earnest

Interesting financial news: There is muted consternation in certain Treasury Department circles over the news that Iranians have succeeded in counterfeiting perfect copies of U.S. $100 bills. They are engraved, not photo-copied, the paper is absolutely correct and the bills pass the fluorescence tests with flying colors. Soon, I will post a list of the blocs of numbers used on these fake bills. This is said to be making foreign banks very nervous.

July 24, 2005

It is reasonably obvious to those of us who have seen this sort of thing before, that the first set of London bombings were instituted and implemented by professionals. There is some confusion but it now appears that the actual “suicide bombers” may well have been dupes, fingered by MI5 and then approached and conned by our own people. All of the doers were blown to bits so they could never talk. The timing was too pat to be true and very convenient for Blair’s sagging popularity. And Bush could not afford it if Blair was booted out, or forced to resign, with any subsequent PM deciding to pull UK troops out of Iraq.

The second attempt is very obviously the work of rank amateur copy-cats but note that the London police quickly shot a suspect to death. That he turned out to be completely innocent is very bad PR for them but had he been the real thing, he could hardly talk with his brains all over the underground platform, could he? Even among cynical and experienced Beltway Boys, this one is too much to swallow and if the Brits ever start to believe this was another CIA manipulation, Blair will not only go but probably be executed for treason in the Tower of London. Mark me, Bush and his sick crew of fascists will use this as an excuse for clamping further controls down on the rest of us.

July 20, 2005

With the Rove Scandal growing daily as the press starts a feeding frenzy, the obvious failures in Iraq are another source of panic here in the Monkey Palace. A new plan, concocted by two of the Neocon fascists, is to foment a revolution in Iran, cause maximum internal destruction there and probably, note the word “probably,” wreck or delay the dreaded atomic weapons programs obviously in train there. Unfortunately, the Russians, who are now clandestine but effective allies of Iran, have intercepted certain CIA/USIA codes messages from Saudi Arabia that clearly outline the plottings. Russian code breakers are much better than the US code makers and the result is that many of our so-called “unbreakable diplomatic and intelligence” codes are not. It is becoming obvious that utter stupidity reigns here and everyone is aware of it…except the leadership. Talk about the blind leading the blind! The CIA and other intelligence agencies are terrified of crossing the Bush people and wouldn’t dare submit a report that thwarts the Royal Will with the result that there are very unhappy people in Langley and the Pentagon. They see the blindness and fanaticism of the current empire builders as leading us right over a cliff into the abyss. When a bartender at the Cosmos Club is able to discuss all kinds of deep secrets with some of the patrons, as he did with me recently, we have no security left. The DHS is useless and the FBI is fighting everyone for turf, the CIA is quivering with terror and the NSA is doing its dirty work in private. No one is cooperating and the Bush people have created a Byzantine atmosphere that makes any kind of coordination impossible. The Russians and the Arab militants are laughing at us as are the North Koreans, the PRC people and now even the French and British. The latter are stuck, for the time being, with Suckass Blair but it is strongly rumored that his own party is going to dump him…and the UKs participation in the Iraqi Disaster. As far as Bush is concerned, the Imperial wagon train is starting to circle and the frightened Rove is making irrational noises because he knows he will have to be thrown to the wolves if he can’t find a major distraction soon. The Aruba nonsense has about run its course and there is no more Michael Jackson to occupy the trailer park people. They are getting frantic and frantic people, desperate to hang on to what once appeared to be inexorable Imperial power, will do very stupid things. When this happens, the mass of the public will eventually demand their removal and it will then be so.

July 18, 2005

Here I am, sticking a sharp pencil into the ear of our God-Given Protectors! I am referring to the little bit I sent out on the computer hacking in your last issue. Roars of fury from various sources, some of which penetrated into the Fag Palace here and which I have gleefully been listening to. Well, there will be official silence, for the time being, on this but I stumbled onto an interesting study, which I will have sent on to selected members of Congress and the sterling mainline media of the United States. In short, what I said last time about interdiction, invasion and clandestine looting of the websites of foreign governments and banks has been going on for some time. There is an ongoing struggle, at very high levels, between the newly cleansed DHS [National Cyber Security Division (NCSD)] and the ultra secret NSA over such break-ins. The DHS sub agency responsible for this is called the IIA or the Internal Intelligence Agency and is credited with completely illegal invasions of not only private computers in America but also very high level diplomatic systems located at the various embassies inside the Beltway…those people out on Massachusetts Avenue’s embassy row get all kinds of kind attentions from “telephone” repairmen and other pleasant types but most of the dirty work is done all the way across the continent.

Targeted inside the United States are anti-Bush websites and the personal emails of those running them, businesses that are not friendly to the President, financial institutions that might be involved with financing individuals or projects looked upon with disfavor by the Bush/Rove gang and anyone disliked by senior members of DHS to include relatives, personal enemies, ex-wives and so on. There is <>absolutely no oversight<> to this crew whatsoever and they have even been known to look into senior officers at the Pentagon that do not 100% support Our Sacred President’s Dreams of Empire. It is rumored, from otherwise reliable sources inside the Beltway, that these snoops have even gotten into the computer systems of Guckert/Gannon types to see if there might be future trouble for the Head Chimpanzee. In the course of their poking, they apparently came across Certain Very Sensitive Names and by all accounts, are planning to use this to increase both their power and budget. Exactly what the late Colonel John Edgar Hoover used to do.

July 15, 2005

Had lunch today with a good friend from Department of State. Fascinating conversation that your readers might be interested in. Seems the folks there are becoming highly agitated because a certain “front operation” for DHS has been breaking into the confidential computers of mid-east banking concerns, initially spying on certain Saudi bank accounts believed to be controlled by the bin Laden family. I made notes and these are the banks involved in the clandestine hacking:

National Commercial Bank, Riyad
Riyad Bank, Riyad
Saudi American Bank, Riyad
Al Rajhi Banking and Investment Corp., Riyad
Saudi British Bank, Riyad
Arab National Bank, Riyad (Arab Bank Subs.)
Al Bank Al Saudi Al Fransi, Abha
Saudi Hollandi Bank, Riyad
Al-Jazeera bank, Riyad
Al-Akami bank, Riyad
Al Bank Al Saudi Al Tejari Al Muttahed, Dammam
Faysal Islamic Bank of Bahrain, Jeddah
International bank, Riyad
Islamic Development Bank, Jeddah
Saudi Arabian Agricultural Bank, Riyadh
Saudi Cairo Bank, Riyadh
Saudi Development and Industrial Corp., Riyadh
Saudi French bank, Riyad
Saudi Investment Bank, Riyad
Saudi United commercial bank, Riyad
United Saudi Bank, Riyadh
Western union, Jeddah
World Bank, Riyadh

It looks like the clearing house SAMA uses is SWIFT, The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, Avenue Adèle 1, B-1310 La Hulpe, Belgium. Their “secure” electronic transfers have also, apparently, been breached by the snoopers. State is afraid that if the Royal family of Saudi Arabia ever finds out that we are snooping, if we are, into their own personal financial dealings, it could cause immense trouble over oil. The State people are livid with rage over this because of the collateral damage that could result but my friend told me that DHS is run by a bunch of rejects from the BATF and who have no oversight and less intelligence. I would wager that certain previous financial transactions between the Bush interests and the bin Laden family will never be mentioned. Toss this up in the air and see if anyone is interested. Perhaps Conyers might be and even the New York Times (who is growing increasingly disenchanted with the Bush machine) might find this of interest. There are some very skilled hackers out there and even worse are the so-called “crackers” who are contract specialists hired specifically to break high level security codes. Surely the right hand knoweth not what the left hand doeth! Selah

July 7, 2005

The explosions and carnage in London were terrible, though not as serious as the Madrid ones, but not unexpected. The Mossad had wind of this and tipped off both the U.S. and British people. Either the Anglo-Saxons people are stupid (in the case of the Brits, not so) or this was viewed, like 911, as something that would be beneficial to the Coalition to stiffen flagging British, and American, growing resistance to the war. Cynical but typical of both Bush and Blair, his head puppet. Odd it should happen right when all the leaders are in Scotland, just in time for them all to vow to fight to the bitter end. No one knows how many died and there were many hundreds of wounded, many of whom will die. Qui bono!

July 3, 2005

A nasty fight over the Supreme Court is obviously brewing. The Christian Right wants an appointee who will dish any kind of abortion and the Republican Right wants one that will make Bush President-For-Life. They have already been trying to repeat the Amendment that mandates only two terms but that fell flat. There are muttered plans to revive a draft because the recruiting has tanked, Weekend Warriors are dying like flies and there are rumors of growing anger in both the troops on active duty in Iraq and their families. By releasing their documents and keeping their reporter out of jail, TIME has revealed what all of us here knew; that it was Fat Karl Rove who outed the Palme woman. This is a clear cut felony so we are all rubbing our hands together, picturing Fat Karl in the Showers at some Federal Penal country club being Gannoned by a black person of the type that Rove hates. Sweet revenge for all of us. If Bush keeps old Turdblossom on after all this, he will have committed a cardinal sin for which he and his administration will pay dearly. No, Bush will keep Rove as long as he can and no, Bush will never get out of Iraq.

July 1, 2005

The is growing and increasingly frantic concern here in the Monkey Palace about the loss of popular support for both Bush and his programs. Note that when Bush gave his “important” pep rally to the soldiers, none of them applauded. They sat on their hands. The Bush people were livid and now they have concocted the story that the soldiers were “ordered not to applaud” so as not to disturb the “vital message the President” was delivering. Bush is detested in professional military circles. He is seen as wrecking the Army for his weird political agenda and for such stupid acts as replacing the Humvee with thin-skinned mini-vans, huge numbers of which were ordered at the request of a failing GM. A BB gun would make a hole in these completely unarmored vehicles and the command structure is boiling at what is obviously a money-making ploy on the part of what is increasingly seen as a corrupt White House. No, they sat on their hands this time and probably Bush is never going to address a canned audience again.

Bush’s speech is typical of the man. He is not going to get out of Iraq. Bush never backs down and will not budge an inch, no matter how much logic, and public opinion, is against him. The rebels are getting stronger, in spite of the official babblings that they are “on their last legs,” and the death tolls, even the doctored ones, are continuing to rise. One of these find summer days, the lid will blow off of this sorry mess and we here will all be unemployed. On another note, the Gannon businesshave mercifully, for Bush, vanished but the Buklldog, stupid as a post, has put it around that he wants to come back and be a member of the White House Press Corps! Never happen. The Neocons are hissing into the President’s ears that we must have a draft if Dreams of Imperial Glory are to be realized but if an increasingly alienated Congress gets wind of this, they will nail Bush up in a box and toss it into the Potomac.

June 25, 2005

Never mind the bad economy, the guarantee of very high gas prices soon or the Chinese takeover of American oil businesses and IBM, the real bugbear for the Monkey Palace people is the growing public perception of an utter disaster in Iraq. The fact that the devastating death tolls are starting to come out and the statement by Rumsfeld that the US has to stay in Iraq for at least <>ten years<> more, is causing genuine public fury that is bewildering FatAss Karl and his team of trained weasels. They can conduct clever campaigns, manipulative a la ‘Wag the Dog’ but they cannot plan domestic policy. They can destroy enemies, lie like rugs and keep in a constant state of contemptuous warfare against what they see are the stupid public but they cannot govern. They are antagonizing many moderate Republicans in Congress, unifying the shaken Democrats, disillusioning many Republicans loyalists who voted for Bush and treating Congress with the same cold, dismissive contempt they show for the rest of the public. These are ideologues who listen to their own drummer and, I can assure all of my readers, are doing terrible damage to the United States and its reputation throughout the world.

The Chinese muscle-flexing has terrified members of Congress but Bush and his people can care less. They are obsessed with power and how to keep it and expand it. None of them have any business running the United States. Bush is a dunce but Rove is very, very clever and Rove runs Bush like a dysfunctional hand puppet. They have antagonized almost all of the U.S. senior military leadership (except for the loonie General ‘Jesus H. Christ’ Boykin…who by all rights belongs in St. Elizabeth’s Local Nut Emporium doing interesting things with crayons) who do not want a draft and who realize, almost to a man, that the war in Iraq will destroy their military establishment and essentially leave this country completely helpless if any kind of a serious military emergency should suddenly erupt, say at the Mexican border or in Venezuela. Bush himself is narrow-minded and fixated on false goals, incapable of dialog and personally is one of the most unpleasant and nasty men I have ever met. I have said it before: It isn’t God Bless America these days but God Save America.

June 24, 2005

Now I am about to excite the bloggers with the usual silly gossip that is beneath their dignity. As a matter of fact, let’s talk about the means by which Karl Rove attempts to delude and confound the American public, whom he loves to call the Sheepie Club. Bush calls Rove, “Turd Blossom” which is a wonderfully apt observation on the part of our witty and intellectual President. Karl and his top aides have managed to bribe a number of journalists to publish what they want, frighten others into silence and as an added insult, they have preempted a number of popular blog sites with money and other goods to attack their enemies and support their friends.

Right now, Bush is falling down badly and is probably beyond recovery. Note how nasty and hysterical they have become recently.

As long they worked in a vacuum, their clever little manipulative games worked very well but Rove’s machinations are like a delicate Swiss clock that can only work when covered by a glass dome to keep the dust out. The dome is now gone and we can watch them running around the Fag Palace here mad as hell that Rove’s Master Plan to have one political party and the destruction of any and all liberal institutions seems to have lost its drive and its wheels.

Well, the public is getting aroused, Karl, so be very careful about what you say and tell your Fuehrer to stop making shrill, hateful speeches or your removal from the Monkey Palace will come much sooner than 2006.

June 19, 2005

Looking at some of the negative comments about me on Google does my heart good. Consider the sources! Anyway, the objection has been made that I spend too much time on “trivia” such as the Gannon/Bush union or “gossip” about pending military actions against Iran. I went through files here in the Monkey Palace and culled out some interesting CIA material. This deals with how to snitch on your fellow government workers and I am sending a digest of this on for the public to look at. This has become a polarized country with the rabid right foaming at the chops like a rabid hog and the disorganized liberals struggling to regroup. You know, I wouldn’t recommend that your Brian Harring ever go to Washington. I have it on the best authority that Fat Karl Rove, the Eunuch, is planning to come up behind Harring and knock him down with his purse and then stomp on him with his stiletto-heels. Enjoy! More “silly gossip” next time.

The categories, which—like the adjudicative guidelines—mix CI, security and reliability issues, are listed below. Only two—(b) and (c)—are strictly related to CI issues.

(a) Involvement in activities or sympathetic association with persons which/who unlawfully practice or advocate the overthrow or alteration of the United States Government by unconstitutional means.

(b) Foreign influence concerns/close personal association with foreign nationals..3

(s) Business dealings with nationals or firms of countries of concern.

In summary, DoD Instruction 5240.6, flowing from higher-level policies such as a Presidential Decision Directive and an Executive Order, lays out the basic requirement for CI awareness and briefing programs in the DoD. Air Force and Navy wrote instructions that closely parallel the DoD instruction; the Army elaborated on the instruction, providing more details and specifics. Requirements vary somewhat from one entity to another. PERSEREC staff decided that a short, succinct list of reportable behaviors is needed rather than having supervisors, coworkers, and agencies deal with the plethora of different approaches and degrees of specificity found in the different policies..

Appendix B


RECRUITMENT

Foreign intelligence entities are on the lookout for people who can be solicited to commit espionage against the U.S. At the same time, willing would-be spies often approach foreign intelligence operatives on their own initiative, thus volunteering for recruitment. It is a major task of counterintelligence to intercept these relationships. The recruitment cycle requires, first, that contact be established between the foreign intelligence agency and the potential spy, whether by direct recruitment or by volunteering. While the recruitment relationship almost always involves contacts with foreigners, an already-committed U.S. spy may approach you or a colleague on the job for recruitment into espionage.
Reportable Behaviors

· you become aware of a colleague having contact with an individual who is known to be, or is suspected of being, associated with a foreign intelligence, security, or terrorist organization.

· you discover that a colleague has not reported an offer of financial assistance by a foreign national other than close family.

· you find out that a colleague has failed to report a request for classified or unclassified information outside official channels to a foreign national or anyone without authorization or need to know.

· you become aware of a colleague engaging in illegal activity or if a colleague asks you to engage in any illegal activity.
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE


REPORTING ESSENTIALS (CORE)

If you become aware of any of the following behaviors or activities, you should report them to your security officer or supervisor. These behaviors are derived from the DoD Instruction 5240.6 Counterintelligence Awareness, Briefing, and Reporting Programs..B-7


INFORMATION COLLECTION

Before classified or other kinds of sensitive materials can be passed to a foreign intelligence agency, they must be collected. They can simply be stolen (e.g., paper placed in a briefcase and taken out of the office), photographed, collected via computers, or obtained through eavesdropping or other surveillance devices. The computer age, with its e-mail and database capabilities, has offered new opportunities to potential spies for collecting data. While technical countermeasures can control some situations, it is up to coworkers to watch for and, if possible, identify breaches in the system that allow classified and sensitive information to be collected for espionage purposes.
Reportable Behaviors

· a colleague asks you to obtain classified or other protected information in any format to which the person does not have authorized access.

· a colleague asks you to witness signatures for destruction of classified information when you did not observe the destruction.

· you observe a colleague operating unauthorized cameras, recording devices, computers, or modems in areas where classified data are stored, discussed, or processed.

· you become aware of the existence of any listening or surveillance devices in sensitive or secure areas.

· you find out that a colleagues has been keeping classified material at home or any other unauthorized place.

· you discover a colleague acquiring access to classified or unclassified automated information systems without authorization.

· you observe a colleague seeking to obtain access to sensitive information inconsistent with present duty requirements..B-8


INFORMATION TRANSMITTAL

In former days the transmittal of classified or sensitive information took the form of stealing documents and physically handing them to the foreign intelligence agent. In addition, spies could photocopy paper materials, smuggle materials out in briefcases, even illicitly take photographs in the workplace. Nowadays, there are many more opportunities to transmit information. With the advent of e-mail, faxes, and other technological capabilities, it is possible to transmit large quantities of information without being immediately caught. Coworkers must be aware of this problem and, if an illicit transmission is detected, report it directly and immediately to the designated cognizant counterintelligence or security authorities. Once a relationship with a foreign intelligence agent is established and information begins to flow, illicit trips abroad by the recruited spy usually follow (meetings are easier to arrange abroad than in the U.S.). These journeys are often concealed by the person and the foreign contact is not reported. If you learn of such journeys or contacts, you should report.


Reportable Behaviors

· you see someone removing classified material from the work area without appropriate authorization, either by physically taking it home or on travel, or by e-mailing or faxing it out of the office. The same rule applies for other protected materials, such as export-controlled or proprietary items.

· you observe a colleague using unclassified FAX or computer to transmit classified material.

· you observe a person improperly removing the classification markings from documents.

· you hear a colleague discussing classified information on a nonsecure telephone.

· you become aware that people with TS/SCI or contractors with a reporting requirement have attempted to conceal any work-related foreign travel and any personal foreign travel..


SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIORS

The new DoD Instruction 5240.6, Counterintelligence (CI) Awareness, Briefing, and Reporting Programs (August 7, 2004) lists an additional series of eight items that, while not exactly clear-cut violations, have been traditionally considered behaviors that may well be connected to counterintelligence and security problems. These behaviors do require some degree of judgment before reporting. Often you might not know about them directly but only by hearsay. Often they may easily carry plausible alternative explanations. They are included here with the caveat that they do require a judgment call before reporting. If you are at all uncertain, it is better to report the behavior than to make no report at all.

· Attempts to expand access to classified information by repeatedly volunteering for assignments or duties beyond the normal scope of responsibilities.

· Extensive use of copy, facsimile, or computer equipment to reproduce or transmit classified material that may exceed job requirements.

· Repeated or un-required work outside of normal duty hours, especially unaccompanied.

· Unexplained or undue affluence, including sudden purchases of high value items (e.g., real estate, stocks, vehicles, or vacations) where no logical income source exists. Attempt to explain wealth by reference to inheritance, luck in gambling, or some successful business venture.

· Sudden reversal of financial situation or sudden repayment of large debts or loans.

· Attempts to entice DoD personnel into situations that could place them in a compromising position.

· Attempts to place DoD personnel under obligation through special treatment, favors, gifts, money, or other means.

· Short trips to foreign countries or travel within the United States to cities with foreign diplomatic activities for reasons that appear unusual or inconsistent with a person’s interests or financial means.

Your articles on the short-changed DoD death lists are not making you very many friends inside the Beltway. If this ever get out to the masses of Americans, there will be serious trouble. I have heard Bush say that there is no way anyone is going to dictate to him and his policy is to remain in Iraq as long as he feels it is necessary, come what may. This leaves his toadies to cover up the growing criticism over this ill-advised project . All the polls, and increasingly the media, are pointing out that the public is growing very unhappy with this Iraq business and Bush’s ratings are rapidly tanking. The media, timid as ever, is slowly beginning to realize the way the wind is blowing and are starting to trim their corporate sails.

In defiance of the Amnesty International severe criticism of Guantanamo Gulag, the people here refuse to consider doing away with it. Under increasing public scrutiny and criticism, Rumsfeld , Cheney and Bush absolutely refuse to budge an inch on any of this. This is typical of the inflexibility of the administration and without a doubt, given the upcoming Mid-Term elections, Congress is growing restive, fearful that an outraged voter base might chuck them out…pry them away from the money pot…and you are seeing more and more moderate Republicans moving away from the far right wing of their party and, like Clinton, towards the center. Pretty soon, all Bush and his bully boys will have left are a handful of nuts like Santorum, DeLay and a few others and this will not constitute any kind of a governing majority. I have seen this before and from comments I have heard from nervous Republican lawmakers, a consummation devoutly to be wished. Congress has passed stem cell legislation against Bush’s wishes and has now begun to pick away at the notorious Patriot Act, let along tampering with his budget demands. All beginnings are difficult but hopefully the tide will turn.

Here is an interesting attempt on the part of the Bush worshippers to dish the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution that limits a President to two terms:

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

February 17, 2005

Mr. HOYER (for himself, Mr. BERMAN, Mr. SENSENBRENNER,Mr. SABO, and Mr. PALLONE) introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:

------------------------------------------------------

JOINT RESOLUTION

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the 22nd amendment to the Constitution.

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification:

`Article --

`The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is repealed.'

Isn’t this nice? Sieg Heil, Mein Führer!

The Bush people have now set up an entire system to permit instant military crackdowns inside the United States in the event that, to quote from an official order, now in my safe, “provides the vehicle for the reestablishment of domestic order in the event of civil insurrections…” I have sent this to TBR in the hopes that they will publish parts of it to entertain those interested in the neo-fascist rompings in the Chimpanzee Retirement Home.

And from a friend in the DoD (upper level bureaucrat who detests Bush and his band of trained snakes) this bit of neonazi fun. It seems that since recruiting has tanked totally, the next step is to recruit school dropouts, dimbulbs, those with “minor” criminal records or 18 year olds who might find themselves inside an institution for the delinquent. (!)

The second part of this program is scary, even for one who lives inside the Beltway.

A study has been concluded aimed at permitting the DoD to recruit men who are convicted of felonies and currently on parole for same or incarcerated in a Federal or State penitentiary! However, only those convicts or ex-convicts with prior military service will be considered! And certain categories of convictions such as arson, rape or murder will not be considered…’unless said individual possesses skills that can be considered essential to the War on Terrorism’ (!)

The question here is this: Will these dregs of society be used inside or outside of the United States? The study concludes that there are over 3,000,000 such individuals in prison and the states incarcerating them are begging Bush for relief. The right-wing crazies have wanted to lock up every pickpocket or newspaper thief for life but the states can no longer afford to feed them.

This plan has met with considerable approval in the Oval Office because it will relieve the military manpower problem and avoid a very unpopular and potentially fatal universal draft (wanted by Bush but not by the military) and take tens of thousands of mouths off of the public tit.

The suggestions have been made to those working this project up is that the convict brigades only be used outside of the United States. What these sweet and charming dregs of society would do if in uniform and armed is so terrible of contemplation that there is no point even thinking about it. But what if they decide they do not like Bush? Look what happened to the Roman Emperor Caligula.

This will be in a slightly different format than before. News from the CIA: Just before the DNC resigned (under pressure) he issued an order to delete over 200 secret files from the data bases at the CIA. These consisted of CIA reports, the publication of which would cause serious damage to Bush. Tenent’s reward? The nice Medal of Freedom.

News from the White House: Recent revelations about Gannon are going to cause a great purge of gays from the White House staff. 35 are slated to be dumped. There was a similar, and like this one, strictly private, purge during the Clinton Administration and the Reagan one. These people get very bold and bring their lovers into the Monkey Palace for fun and games.

News from the FBI: Both the Bureau and the DHS are growing increasingly frustrated. Vague and phantom threats against US security are of such a nature as to make enforcement of all the nice new Nazi-style laws impossible to execute. The solution? Grab anyone with an Arab surname and accuse them of being a member of a terrorist cell. After they have spent a year in the slammer, courtesy of the Patriot Act, the poor shits will say anything to get out. Result? Another great “anti-terrorist” victory for the draggers of knuckles.

News from the DoS. Empress Rice is boiling mad because the OAS has summarily rejected her demands to permit the US to set up an “advisory board” to oversee and control political progress in Central and South America. Private comments among diplomats, monitored by the NSA, indicate that the opinion of Queen Condoleeza and Queen George are lower than whale droppings. General comments: The Bush people want a draft. They are also alarmed about the number of serious death threats pouring into the Chimpanzee Mansion and so are drawing up plans for an “exercise” in martial law. This will consist of sending loyal troops (there are some units that are certainly not loyal and Bush feels cannot be trusted in case of any kind of public “disobedience.”) as well as iron control over the internet. There will be a “practice” shutting down of the non-business sector of the internet for a brief time, just to show people that Uncle Asshole means business and also to test the shut down system. Also, there is juice boiling in Congressional tails over the growing interest in and concerns about the huge genuine death and injury tolls that our Pentagon is sweeping under the rug. Mid-terms elections are coming and the natives are becoming very restless. More and more evangelicals are writing to the Chimp Palace, protesting the war, the gay connections, the slipping economy and Bush’s dismal failure to stop stem cell research, promulgate the Ten Commandments as a replacement for our Constitution and the general growing perception that Curious George is a fraud and a sham.

Medical report: Two of my friends here tell me that in the middle of a small meeting last week, Bush suddenly stopped talking, his jaw dropped down and he began to stare at nothing. About the time his listeners were about to shout for a medic, he blinked, shook his head and began talking…about something not on the agenda. His dog was part of the mindless babble. We all pray that he does this live on CNN or better, FOX. George does not wear suits well being bowlegged and slightly humpbacked but he would look so wonderful in a straight jacket! On the 6 PM news at that!

June 4, 2005

I think, given all the publicity the Voice of the White House is getting and the increasingly large number of viewers, both domestic and foreign, who seem to like what the site has to say, that is would be in order to give everyone more information about what, and who, is behind all of this. I know a legion of self-important bloggers are jealous because someone is coming out with new information and that you have many interested and loyal readers who would like more concrete information.

Let’s give it to them, OK?

VOTWH is a joint venture, not mine alone. It started out that way when I came across some information about Bush’s medical problems. I tried contacting people I knew at the New York Times, the Washington Post (who will print almost anything, true or not) and several other papers. None expressed even the slightest interest so I searched Google and came across TBR News and its Controlling the News. I read some of these and decided you were not PC and would print important matters so I sent my first information off to you. You printed it, it was caught up everywhere and reprinted and the White House erupted in fury. As I recall, some wuss working here got into it with you and later ceased to work here because no one here dares to talk off the record to the media.

I have been around the Beltway on and off for years and know many people. Not the movers and shakers but the grunt men…the middle level people, the pr people for various other agencies and so on. On a Wednesday, sometime after my first exposure, I had a small poker party at my house after work, My wife is very tolerant of this because it keeps me home and she had learned to open the windows or turn on the air conditioner to disperse the cigarette and cigar smoke.

The subject of the posting came up from one of my player friends and one thing led to another. When I basicially admitted to being the source, one of my friends, with the DoJ said it was too bad he didn’t have such an outlet because of what he had learned during the course of his work down on Pennsylvania Ave. Another player, this time a charming woman, works for DoS and chimed in about certain matters outside the country.

Both of them loathe Bush and his neo Nazis and gave me a long list of interesting material. Of course I can’t quote directly but with a press background, I made notes and wrote them up. And you published them for me, albeit edited a little.

Gradually, our circle of players expanded, new members brought in by the older ones, myself excluded, until we had seven around the table. Soon, we got more interested in what we had to exchange and less and less on the chips and cards so now we have a pokerless poker party once a week with occasional meetings on a one to one basis in various public places.

We now have people from the DIA, the CIA, Treasury and DoHS on board., with some occasional input from someone at NSA and the NSG.

Poker is not played and we do not get together on Wednesday night. Generally, there is a discussion by various attendees about matters of interest and significance, I tape the meeting and later I transcribe my notes. Since the public seems to prefer gossip to heavier material, I write my studies for you more along that line but have decided to cover more substantive matters than the Gannon business or the gays in Washington

There are no secrets in this town but a lot of them never get outside of it. This is a pity because here is where policy is conceived and implemented so future postings will have more substance. If your readers complain too much about this, we can go back to the lavatory wall type of journalism.

The Monkey Palace nazis are waiting for Chief Justice Rehnquist to croak so they can elevate one of their far right fascist friends to the Court. This, of course, is obvious but some of the potential appointees are going to make real trouble when confirmation time comes. Congress is facing mid-term elections coming up and the cattle are becoming restless in their pens, shifting around and mooing as they sense an approaching storm.

June 2, 2005

Just for the sake of accuracy, I am going to fill you in on how Gannon was discovered. It is absolutely not the self-lauding material now puffing up the internet but life is tough.

It seems that a junior grade member of the Secret Service’s President Detail noticed, by checking the logs, that Gannon was loose in the White House at various times, not during any press conferences. As there is strict protocol for such matters, he made notes and submitted them to a higher official in the same detail. This person made enquiries further up the ladder and eventually, it got to Andrew Card, the President’s Chief of Staff. Card, apparently, then asked questions of others with the result that the Detail people were informed that Gannon was, in essence, an FOG (“Friend of George) and his presence at odd hours inside the White House was “OK.”

At the same time, the brass wanted to know who initiated this request but the SS section head said that he had received an anonymous request and he was merely acting on it. I must tell you that very few people, myself not included, had any knowledge of this funny business at the time. The Monkey Palace is huge and full of people, night and day and I personally cannot remember ever seeing Gannon at any time and neither can most of the daytime people I know.

At any rate, simultaneously with this inquiry, it seems that a gay Beltway Democrat, who had seen the “Bulldog” male prostitution site, informed a friend on the District police force who, in turn, asked the White House people. This meant that the story was now out of official control and it was decided to, at the least, “retire” Gannon until the story blew over or did not get legs. This clearly explains that why, on his website, Gannon claims he is only “on leave” from the White House Press Room.

However, the gay Democrat, or perhaps a local cop, began to send copies of the “Bulldog” nude websites around to members of the mainline media (which predictably did not do a damned thing about it nor make any inquiries at the White House) as well as to a large number of internet people. A subsequent investigation by the Secret Service disclosed that a District official computer was used to spread the fertilizer all over the country but no one can be pinpointed as the sender.

Following this effort, Gannon was informed that he had to go, gracefully, at least for a time, and then the so-called “blogs” took credit for this. A very gay, but very much closeted, blogger knew all about Gannon from having often visited his several male porn sites, squealed with delight at the chance to beat his old drum, and we then saw a great outpouring of accusatory emails from every side.
While the “bloggers” have been taking full credit for “outing” Gannon, in truth they just ran with something someone else sent them and have been crowing about it ever since. Very much like Woodward getting some inside gossip from Felt and then heavily embroidering it with his own self-serving (and very profitable) creations out of whole cloth.

This has really become a dead issue. Gannon is gone, the mainline media is keeping their mouths tightly shut about this, as usual, and you should know that my own digging into Gannon/Guckert’s background, which you published at TBR, was the most complete yet done.

The silly “bloggers” are now running around like a hyper Pomeranian, yapping frantically over a very long-dead cat on the back porch that is now rotting in the sun. Whoever got this out initially, and it was not the bloggers , did terrible damage to the basic fabric of the self-righteous Bush people but now it is no longer of any interest, unless and until the outraged Gannon decides to publish his “confidential journals.” His funeral would not be very well attended. …… And now that the mythic ‘Deep Throat’ turns out to be a jealous and spiteful senior FBI executive, we can well imagine that within weeks, the busy bloggers will put forth as many manic theories about who ‘Deep Throat’ really was as they have hairs on their head. I can just see the “Bloggerblitz” headlines screaming that ‘Kidnapped Paperboy Johnny Gosch was actually Deep Throat!’ Or that the sinister Illuminati, whom we all know run the USPS can claim the honors. This ought to keep them busy until the next opportunity comes along to let everyone in the entire world know what they and their cousin Edna really think about the secret plots of the Bilderburgers and the Hidden Hand.

The solution to all this proliferating and obnoxious idiocy? Take a Midol, honey, and spend more time trying to have a dialog with Jesus than bothering the rest of the sane population.

Many readers think I am homophobic because I use strong language when talking about the lying perverts in the Bush Administration. This is not true – what offends me is not someone's sexual orientation, but their lying about it and then attacking innocent people who never did anything to anyone, just to cover their own sorry asses. I call those sorts of people fudgepackers because of the evil filth of their minds, not because of their activities. Bush is one small step from being the Antichrist, but shovels the shit like a pro, assuming a mantle of holiness and righteousness that has about half the American public fooled.

I have been told that correspondents to TBR News have expressed surprise at my "inside" knowledge of the gay scene in DC. One of the underlings here in the Fag Palace who happens to be gay is a confidant of mine. He knows I respect him, and we discuss the goings-on upstairs - he is my source for commentary and background on the gay community in DC, including the escapades of Fat Karl at the Mid-Atlantic Leather weekend, the secret love-life of Kenny Mehlman, Scotty M the loyal Irish Terrier, Bulldog Gannon, and of course, POTUS him/herself. I respect the accuracy of his Gaydar - he has a sixth sense about these things, and can spot another one like himself a mile away.

Here's the scoop: He tells me that The Hammer, Tom DeLay, sets all his alarm bells a-jingling. He told me, in his own words: "Just look at the way she walks, the angle she holds her head when she speaks, her hand gestures, the movement of her eyes - God, what a flaming queen!"

He went on, "Sister Tom DeLilah is a Friend of Dorothy, no doubt about it. She may not even know about it herself, but I swear, what his dick craves more than anything is a good shag with a real man.......

"You know, the dick has a brain of its own, you can pretend to yourself and others all you like, but you put a queer in the room with a hot man and his dick will do its own thing, no matter how many prayers he prays to Jesus. That's probably why Tom DeLay hates us faggots so much - we cause his dick to betray his righteous Christian bullshit, and he despises himself for it. He probably wears Spandex underpants to keep it down."

Well, well! There is an old African saying to do with the fact that many Africans have ample behinds: "It takes a big Hammer to drive a long Nail." Let us add to that one an even more apt Japanese saying: "The Nail that sticks up gets Hammered down," and we may have an inkling of a possibility which we never suspected: Tom DeLay, the man's man, is really Tammy DeLilah, the Closet Queen. Remember, folks, you heard it here first. When this all breaks in the MSM, on the day the business interests decide to dispose of Bush and replace him with someone else, please join with me in singing a hymn for Miss DeLilah: "Hey Sinner Man, where you gonna run to, all on that day?

And what other things can we hang on the Sinner come to Judgment? He has: Paid family members more than $500,000 out of campaign contributions, diverted funds from a children's charity for lavish celebrations at the Republican convention, used corporate money given to his PAC to finance Texas campaigns in violation of state law, stacked the House Ethics Committee with representatives who have contributed to his legal defense fund, accepted trips from the lobbyist for a foreign government in violation of House rules, and accepted trips from corporations and later helped kill legislation they opposed. All of this and I’ll bet he looks gorgeous in mesh stockings and a real-human-hair wig, just like the one our Beloved President’s beloved Senegambian cross-dresser loves to wear!
