Another great vid from Michael Scheuer
0A power packed 11 minute video that covers a variety of different countries, their power structures and the details of their stages of radicalization—great video.
What is the extent of evil?
1One of the most dangerous topics in the world is explored, examined and exposed in this documentary that, if true, has absolutely unbelievable implications.
I’ll concede that perhaps the attached video isn’t conclusive proof that (as it theorizes) a massive Satanic network exists in the world and that it is—with the help of many high level government officials—actively kidnapping young children, torturing them and killing them as part of an organized sacrificial system.
But if there is just the slightest glimmer of a chance that the testimonies in the below video are accurate and people like FBI Bureau Chief Ted Gunderson who detail these atrocities are credible; what kind of people are we to ignore it? What if our family or friends were abducted by these crazed, evil and possessed people?
…could you live with yourself if you knew that your inaction or weak stomach prevented you from knowing the truth and acting accordingly to prevent another crime from happening?
As this previous post about pedophilia in Hollywood details; there are many sources that are revealing this hidden horror to the world.
“Every action has a reaction”
0Few people on the planet have a deeper, more detailed, and precisely educated view on terrorism, al Qaeda and war/foreign policy than former CIA Chief and head of bin Laden’s hunting force, Michael Scheuer. Why does he support Ron Paul?
Why are we attacked?
0Remember, Americans are only hated because we’re free. This is very important. No one cares that our CIA and military has been flying around the world for decades assassinating foreign leaders, propping up ruthless dictators who later ravaged the nation, and engineering their governments by hand to benefit our corporate interests.
To support/defeat this claim, please read the below quote from USMC Major General Smedley Butler, one of only 19 men in history to win the Medal of Honor two times, and three-decade veteran of The Corps.
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914.
I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916.
I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

This is the reason we are targeted by terrorists, this is the reason we are attacked, this is the reason we need to pull our brave troops out of harms way around the world and return to a rational, responsible, reasonable foreign policy.
A SEAL’s account of how Osama bin Laden really died
0*from (to my amazement) YahooNews
Forget whatever you think you know about the night Osama bin Laden was killed. According to a former Navy SEAL who claims to have the inside track, the mangled tales told of that historic night have only now been corrected.
“It became obvious in the weeks evolving after the mission that the story that was getting put out there was not only untrue, but it was a really ugly farce of what did happen,” said Chuck Pfarrer, author of Seal Target Geronimo: The Inside Story of the Mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden.
In an extensive interview with The Daily Caller, Pfarrer gave a detailed account of why he believes the record needed to be corrected, and why he set out to share the personal stories of the warriors who penetrated bin Laden’s long-secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
In August the New Yorker delivered a riveting blow-by-blow of theSEALs’ May 1, 2011 raid on bin Laden’s hideaway. In that account, later reported to lack contributions from the SEALs involved, readers are taken through a mission that began with a top-secret helicopter crashing and led to a bottom-up assault of the Abbottabad compound.
Freelancer Nicholas Schmidle wrote that the SEALs had shot and blasted their way up floor-by-floor, finally cornering the bewildered Al-Qaida leader:
“The Al Qaeda chief, who was wearing a tan shalwar kameez and a prayer cap on his head, froze; he was unarmed. ‘There was never any question of detaining or capturing him—it wasn’t a split-second decision. No one wanted detainees,’ the special-operations officer told me. (The Administration maintains that had bin Laden immediately surrendered he could have been taken alive.) Nine years, seven months, and twenty days after September 11th, an American was a trigger pull from ending bin Laden’s life. The first round, a 5.56-mm. bullet, struck bin Laden in the chest. As he fell backward, the SEAL fired a second round into his head, just above his left eye.”
Chuck Pfarrer rejects almost all of that story.
Purpose, not oversight to blame for CIA-FBI lack of communication pre-9/11
0Key quote: “It wasn’t careless oversight. It was purposeful. No question about that in mind. It was purposeful.” Tom Kean, 9/11 Comissioner
*From Sibel Edmonds at BoilingFrogsPost.com
In his recent book The Black Banners, former FBI agent Ali Soufan portrays a key 9/11 Commission staff member, Doug MacEachin, as believing the CIA deliberately withheld information from the FBI in January 2001. This is in contrast with the Commission’s final report, which states that the CIA failed to pass on intelligence to the FBI on multiple occasions, but puts it down to honest failings.
MacEachin was one of the best-known of the Commission’s staffers before its formation. He was a career CIA officer and even served as Deputy Director for Intelligence between 1993 and 1996.
According to Soufan, MacEachin believed that the CIA purposefully withheld information placing al-Qaeda leader Khallad bin Attash at the Malaysia summit, a gathering of top al-Qaeda figures in Kuala Lumpur in January 2000 that was monitored by the CIA. This intelligence was especially significant because it linked bin Attash, then known to be a mastermind of the October 2000 USS Colebombing, to future Flight 77 hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi.
Had the FBI learned what the CIA knew of the Malaysia summit at this time, its Cole investigators would have focused on Almihdhar and Alhazmi eight months before 9/11, giving them plenty of opportunity to stop the plot.
In his book, Soufan describes a meeting between himself and some Commission staffers, evidently Soufan’s second interview with the Commission on September 15, 2003.
Soufan says he started the interview by discussing a source inside al-Qaeda that he and his partner Steve Bongardt had helped recruit some time before the Cole bombing. In late 2000, the source had been shown a passport photo provided by the Yemeni authorities of a person the FBI thought to be bin Attash, and had identified him as such to a CIA officer known only as “Chris” and FBI agent Michael Dorris. This was another plank in the case being built against bin Attash for the Cole bombing.
Shortly after, in murky circumstances Soufan does not discuss, the CIA sent pictures of Almihdhar and Alhazmi taken at the Malaysia summit for the source to try to identify. While Dorris was out of the room, Chris showed the pictures to the source, who said he did not know Almihdhar, but identified the photo of Alhazmi as bin Attash; the two men had similar facial features.
Although the photo was not actually of bin Attash, it simply caused the CIA to believe something that was, in fact, true. Bin Attash had been at the Malaysia meeting, the agency had photos of him there; it simply omitted to show them to the source.
Whereas Chris had had the previous identification, of bin Attash in the Yemeni-provided photograph, repeated for Dorris’ benefit, this second identification of bin Attash was not repeated. In fact, Chris kept completely silent about it.
Soufan quotes himself as telling the Commission:
After 9/11 we learned that the CIA went behind our backs and showed the pictures of the Malaysia summit meeting—the pictures they wouldn’t share with us—to the source. They didn’t tell us that they had shown him the pictures, nor did they share with us what he told them about the pictures. He didn’t know that the CIA wasn’t sharing information with the FBI; nor was he told why these pictures were important. …
… This shows that the CIA knew the significance of Malaysia, Khallad, and Mihdhar but actively went out of their way to withhold the information from us. It’s not a case of just not passing on information. This is information the FBI representative working with the source should have been told about. It was a legal requirement. Instead we were deliberately kept out of the loop.

Foreign policy flawed, terrorism threat “overhyped” says CIA analyst
6Opinion: I’m a confused man tonight. I don’t know how we can self-righteously glare out at the world through glazed, defiant eyes watching the wild fury of our wars around the world and not choose to stand up and push against our war machine. Somehow we’ve become believers, somehow we’ve become convinced that we are “doing the right thing,” somehow we think there won’t be bold, organized, long-term blowback to our actions.
CIA, counter-terrorism expert Philip Giraldi
Many Americans are rightly appalled at what has happened over the past ten years. A culture of fear has taken hold nationwide and there are regular accounts of swat teams kicking in the wrong door in the middle of the night and killing a homeowner seeking to defend his family from unknown intruders. Neighbors have been encouraged by the government’s Department of Homeland Security to look at those living next door to see if they might be terrorists.
Recently, questionable provisions of the Patriot Act have been extended for an additional four years, without any debate at all. It all means that many constitutional liberties that were taken for granted for more than two hundred years have recently been relegated to the dust bin of history.
And there is considerable danger that the “overseas contingency operations,” as the Obama Administration refers to its war on terror, will increase in number. A section of the current $690 billion Defense Appropriation bill referred to as the “Authorization for the Use of Military Force” will permit the president to wage war against anyone anywhere without any specific approval by congress, an expansion of the executive authority authorized by the legislature to pursue al-Qaeda which was granted in the aftermath of 9/11.
The fact that neither group actually threatens the United States appears to be irrelevant. Congressman Buck McKeon, the drafter of the relevant section of the appropriation bill, has said “the threats posed by al-Qaeda cells in Yemen and Africa underscore the evolving and continuing nature of the terrorist threat to the United States.”
FBI Chief details rampant corruption
0Former CIA asset, and “black ops” soldier Gene “Chip” Tatum and former FBI Bureau Chief Ted Gunderson dive head-first into the strange, illegal and dangerous deeds of international intelligence agencies; including allegations of their drug-running fund raising tactics.
The below video has multiple clips from surprisingly credible individuals with track records in government, military and other agencies that testify—with evidence including flight logs, medical records and secret recordings—that that CIA is coordinating drug running operations, extensive prison camps are being constructed in The USA, and that very high-ranking individuals in government are part of these operations.
This is about as out there as you can get—and maybe everything in this video is a lie—but the people listed are credible and their perspective is needed if we are to cleanse ourselves of the parasitic elements within our government and society.
Anyone who’s ever done a serious detox program (The Master Cleanse is a good one) knows that they usually get sick before they get healthy again when the toxins re-enter their bloodstream; so hang on tight super-humans, a hard cleanse is on the way…
Ex-CIA Chief now an “Infowarrior?”

You have to be careful with stories from PrisonPlanet.com and Alex Jones, Inc., but sometimes they deliver incredible content that has rare, important, well-cited stories.
Here’s one of those in my opinion…

May 30, 2011
Ex-CIA intelligence officer turned whistleblower and activist, Michael Scheuer, has launched a blistering attack on the political establishment, over its handing of the so called war on terror, asserting that the entire rationale behind it is based on outright lies and deception.
Mr Scheuer, who was speaking at the popular Hay Festival in the UK said that the politicians including the US President and the British Prime Minister have “not a clue about what’s going down in the western world”.
”We are being attacked in the west and we will continue to be attacked in the west as long as we are in Afghanistan, as long as we support the Israelis, as long as we protect the Saudi police state.” Scheuer said.
”They can’t cope with the fact that it’s nothing to do with the way we live. It doesn’t have anything to do with elections or democracy or liberty,” the counterterrorism expert added. Scheuer, who headed up the CIA’s Osama Bin Laden tracking station between 1996 and 1999, asserted that ”The main recruitment sergeant for al Qaida is Barack Obama, ” adding that “his speech on May 19 was a declaration of cultural war on Islam.”
Last week, Scheuer penned a scathing commentary piece on the Obama middle east speech, describing the president as a “Neoconservative crusader” who has “out-Bushed Bush and the Neoconservatives by a country mile, calling for U.S.-dictated (and enforced?) regime change in Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Iran, and Yemen.”
”We hear the President, we hear your Prime Minister, talking about thugs and gangsters. We are still in the starting blocks in this war.” Scheuer told the UK audience this past weekend.
When asked what Obama should do regarding the war on terror by a member of the audience, Scheuer replied ”I would ask him to tell the truth.”
”He, the first Mr Bush, then Mr Clinton and the second Mr Bush have assiduously lied to the American people for 20 years and as a result have made the relations in the United States between Muslims and other people much more difficult.” Scheuer said.
My questions: How deep does the Chief Scheuer believe the “deception” and lies about the truth of our foreign policy go? Is he going to join the other ex-military full bore skeptics at PatriotsQuestion911.com next? I’ve just sent him an email, God-willing we will have a chat in the near future.
