CIA - Obama's Marketing Team?

CIA HQ: No Moles Allowed; just Hollywood Film Crews

One of our National Treasures!

We learn today that the Administration is collaborating with Hollywood to exploit the SEAL Team Six raid which terminated Osama bin Laden with Extreme Prejudice. 

Worse, it is the Administration that has opened the doors to the CIA and the Pentagon to let Hollywood scriptwriters and cameramen wander the halls, capturing images of CIA officers, assigned and visiting, and visually documenting access procedures.

Peter King: Chair, Homeland Security

According to Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King [R-NY], the film-makers were granted "...extremely close, unprecedented and potentially dangerous collaboration... from the Administration."

Judicial Watch disclosed that documents they obtained through the FOIA revealed that the film-makers met with the White House and were also granted access to "The Vault" where the Osama raid was reportedly planned.

 
We try not to reveal the existence, much less the location of our most sensitive installations at all, much less to Hollywood filmsters -- who now know the location and the details of the building.

Libby: Tried & Convicted by Media

So, when Scooter Libby identified the leak [Joe Wilson] of sensitive information to the NY Times as the husband of a CIA admin officer, the Democrats proclaim that he outed a CIA operative.

That would be Valerie Plame, whose status as a covert officer was that she used, as did all CIA personnel on international travel, a cover identity.

But,she was just a CIA paper pusher  -- a higher pay grade than the janitor or security guard, but with about as much access and classified activity.

Nonetheless, both the New York Times and the Washington Post declared her to be a COVERT OPERATIVE, so, it must be true!

In the past, a number of Hollywood films have included the entrance foyer to the CIA so they could film the CIA logo on the floor.

But, the lobby was their limit, and only on weekends when CIA officers were not visible.

 

So, when I press this button, the soldiers shoot him in the face?  (c) Bossip

The Administration is desperately trying to exploit the raid on Osama's house in Pakistan so he can pretend to have participated; as we recall, the Secret Service had to drag him off the golf course so he could be on hand to sign the order for, and witness the assault and execution of Osama.

His presence was necessary since the POTUS must sign and Executive Action order -- i.e., the execution of a foreign national leader of significant prominence.

We are surprised at General Petraeus, the current Director of the CIA, for going along with this security breach.  Then again, we suspect he was the best person for "damage control" given the circumstances.
 
On the other hand, we have Leon Panetta in charge of the Pentagon, so, we can assume any secrets there have been fully disclosed to Hollywood.

 
When it comes to national security, it seems this Administration has less self-control than Jack Kennedy, whose distribution of state secrets ended with his visit to Dallas.

There is no telling how many years it will take to undo the damage to our national security once the Administration changes in January.

[UPDATE  CIA is now tasked with spinning the legend that Moscow hacked tens of thousands of voting machines throughout the US to elect Donald Trump.  That of course, flies in the face of the hundreds of Soros  programmed voting machines placed in key urban centers where Hillary was awarded 100% of the vote - a statistical impossibility.  But, keep in mind, Brennan is now in charge of the CIA, and he's been Mr Obama's puppet for quite some time, and will do as he's told -- to the frustration of CIA analysts and operatives]

#Clinton suppressed terrorist reports

Clinton Legacy?

We've previously addressed the unique relationship of Hillary with the Muslim Brotherhood and Sisterhood, as well as Hillary's foiled covert meeting with Iran's President Ahmadinijad leaders; we've also noted Bill's seeming incompetence when it came to pursuing Osama bin Laden.

But, now we learn from US Intelligence officers and executives that Bill actually suppressed evidence of terrorism sponsored and carried out by Muslim extremists, with support from Saudi and Iranian backers.

Here's the list, as presented by IBD in the referenced article:
1)   1993: World Trade Center Bombing:  Six killed, 1,000 injured.
      No follow-up action

2)   1995: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia US Military Training Center Bombing:
       Five Americans killed.

3)   1996: Khobar Towers Bombing:
      19 US Servicemen killed; hundreds wounded.
      a) The six Saudis involved in the attack told the FBI they obtained
          their Iranian passports and reported to an Iranian general.
      b) FBI Director Louis Freeh confirmed that Bill Clinton and NSC chief
          Sandy Berger called the evidence "hearsay" and ordered Freeh to
          not disseminate lest it undermine closer relations with Iran.
      c) Clinton's knowledge of this evidence was confirmed in a 1999 Top Secret cable [now
          declassified] in which he discussed with then President Mohammad Khatami of "credible
          evidence" that members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps worked with Hizballah
          in the bombing of the Khobar Towers resident complex in Saudi Arabia.
      d) Wayne White, a State Department Intelligence Officer [1979-2005] advised that intelligence
           on the attack had been cut off by Sandy Berger, National Security Advisor to Bill Clinton.

4)  1996:  Sudan's President Bashir offers to
     arrest and extradite Osama bin Laden to Saudi
     Arabia; in the absence of a US response,
     bin Laden was "evicted".  Sudan also tossed
     out a number of the functionaries in the 2001
     bombing of the World Trade Center in New
     York.  Clinton's non-response was an
     indicator that Sudan might be targeted by
     Clinton for political purposes; thus Bashir's
     eviction notice to bin Laden.

5)  1998: Bombings of US Embassies in Nairobi,
     Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania:
     224 killed; 5,000 injured.

6)  1998: US bombing [political] of Iraqi sites to
      distract Media attention from Monica
      Lewinski Impeachment scandal.
      [The Iraqis had fully cooperated with US/UN inspection demands, until the US 
      demanded access to Saddam's personal quarters.  Clinton used this refusal as the basis for 
      bombing Iraq.]

7)  2000: USS Cole bombing by al Qaeda in Yemen:  17 US Sailors killed, 37 injured.
     Clinton blamed Sudan.  Bin Laden celebrated and received massive new donations and
     large numbers of new recruits.

Interestingly, this new reporting supports the history of Democrats forcing the Intelligence Community to distort or suppress actionable or exculpatory intelligence to support the sitting President's political agenda.

It dates back to FDR's suppressing Intelligence that the Japanese were planning to bomb Pearl Harbor, LBJ's creating the "evidence" of hostile actions by North Vietnam as the basis for his assault on Tonkin Bay to escalate US involvement, Jimmy Carter's muzzling of the US Intelligence Community on reporting on North Korea and, later, on Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini; and, of course, Mr 0bama's consistent dismissal of his daily Intelligence Briefs ignoring Russian and Chinese threats to the US -- not to speak of his loosely shaded links to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The IBD asks [rhetorically],
"Do we want another Clinton in the Oval Office?"

Evacuation Plan for Gazans: Swim for It!

July 14, 2014 - John Stewart, DAILY SHOW on Comedy Central

[I'm republishing this July, 2014 postand several other posts on the 

Israel-Palestinian conflict to provide independent views from those 

who hold Israeli citizenship  - but who disagree with Israel's current actions

which I regard as provocation/justification to destroy Palestine  

Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz) is an

 American comedian, writer, producer, director, 

political commentator, actor, and television host. 

He hosted The Daily Show, a satirical news program

 on Comedy Central [1999-2015); he now hosts 

The Problem with Jon Stewart (2021–present).

He has received 22 Primetime Emmy Awards,

two Grammy Awards, 

and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

[Stewart's family are Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants 

to America from Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus]

The Daily Show's John Stewart offers some much needed comic relief in this fair and unbiased breakdown of the Gaza-Israeli conflict.

"Both sides are engaging in aerial bombardment, but one side appears to be bomb-better at it."

Israelis have Red Alert (an iPhone app) which provides real time alerts for rocket, mortar, or missile strikes on Israel -- which is protected by the US-sponsored Iron Dome protection against incoming missiles and rockets.

Meanwhile Gazans are being notified by ... being bombed.

The warning to Palestinians in Gaza is an exploding mortar round three [3] minutes before full scale air strikes. That three [3] minutes is an alert to evacuate before being repeatedly being bombed by Israel.

Stewart asks:

What are the Gazans supposed to do?  

Evacuate to where?

Have you fucking seen Gaza?!

Israel blocked this border and Egypt blocked this border.

What are they supposed to do? Swim for it?!

Israel's response to Gaza is indeed a living political cartoon for the war in the Middle East.
The world has gone mad.  Is this the Israeli Manifest Destiny?

We're reminded of the Highway of Death in the First Gulf War, in which the slaughter was so egregious that US pilots refused to continue strafing and bombing, and ground troops turned away in disgust.

Suffrage

100 Years ago, women couldn't vote                        [National Archives]

As we celebrate the anniversary of the Women's Suffrage March of 1913 [the beginning of Woodrow Wilson's first term] -- in conjunction with the anniversary of Martin Luther King's Civil Rights March on Washington in 1963, it's worthwhile to review the history of that era surrounding the Women's Suffrage Movement -- which played a major role in Martin Luther King's strategy some 50 years later.

Regarding the Suffragette Movement, Wilson, and Race issues:
1) Black Women were requested to march in the last ranks of the Suffragette parade 
2) President Woodrow Wilson [D] was
     a) Vehemently against women's suffrage and tossed their leaders into Lorton federal prison
     b) "Deeply racist in his thoughts and politics" [PBS]

PBS produced a program titled Wilson - A Portrait: Women's Suffrage a while back; this was their report on Wilson's gentlemanly treatment of the women:

Parody of Suffragettes in prison        [National Archives]

1) "In late June 1917, six women were arrested. Eleven more were detained on July 4. Ten days later, a third group was taken into custody. All the women were charged with 'obstructing traffic'."

2) "The protesters were sentenced to 60 days in the workhouse. There, they suffered beatings, forced feeding, and unsanitary conditions. But the pickets - and the arrests - continued."



3) "In August, scuffles broke out right in front of the White House gates. For three days suffragettes were dragged, punched and choked by angry crowds. City police stood by, refusing to intervene."

It would seem the greatest enemy of both Blacks and Women in that time frame was 
Woodrow Wilson - a Democrat!

Woodrow Wilson [D]

Wilson also
1) Engaged us in World War I,
2) Signed off on the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank
3) Signed off on the Sedition Act and the Espionage Act [suspending the Constitution and making it a crime to criticize the government or government officials]
4) Introduced the Income Tax
5) Set the stage for WW2 when he betrayed the defeated Germans with the brutal terms of the Treaty of Versailles -- which had promised "...an equitable peace."  The post-war reparations demands destroyed the economy of Germany and created the environment in which Hitler was welcomed by desperate Germans as a savior with his message of "Forward! Hope, and Change!"

Wilson's Advisors

But, Wilson is little known for his racist policies to destroy the socio-economic progress of Blacks
1)  He supported the KKK [Ku Klux Klan] 

      and declared it was "understandable"
2)  As President of Princeton, he barred Blacks

     from attending
3)  As Governor of NJ, he barred Blacks from

     working for the state

4)  As President, he supported segregation in

      the federal government, stating:

      a) "Segregation is not humiliating but a benefit" and,
      b)  It is "... distinctly to the advantage of the colored people themselves"

He solicited the Black vote through the support of W.E.B. DuBois, to whom he promised his support.  Once elected, he advised he had
"...made no promises in particular to Negroes, except to do them justice."
[Source:  Woodrow Wilson: American Prophet (1958)]


As a footnote, the racism of President Wilson was reversed by Wilson's successors, 

Warren G Harding

1)  President Harding [R]:
.....a) Advocated Civil Rights and political,
         economic and educational equality
         for Blacks
.....b) Appointed Blacks to federal positions
.....c) Advocated international commission to
         improve race relations between
         Whites and Blacks
.....d) Supported the Dyer "Anti-Lynching"
         Bill [Defeated by Senate
         Democrat filibuster]

Calvin Coolidge

2)  President Coolidge [R]:
......a) Urged the creation of the
          "Negro Industrial Commission"

               to promote mutual understanding
......b) Hosted James W Johnson, the first
          Black to head the NAACP, at the White House
......c) Openly confronted and opposed the KKK
......d) Publicly endorsed and supported the first 

          Black Congressional nominee in NYC:
......e) Quoted Teddy Roosevelt's words in
           support of racial equality

"I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope 

                                                                -- the door of opportunity - is to be shut upon any man, no 

                                                                matter how worthy, purely on the grounds of race or color"

Herbert Hoover

3)  President Hoover [R]:
.....a) Desegregated the Department of Commerce
.....b) Invited Robert Moton of the Tuskegee Institute to
         public ceremonies at the White House
.....c) Invited to White House Tea the wife of  Black Congressman
         Oscar de Priest of Chicago
----d) Commuted the death sentence of a Black man convicted
          of murdering a White woman
.....e)  Sharply increased appropriations for Howard University
.....f)  Publicly condemned lynchings



Although Republican Presidents provided positive support for both Women's Suffrage and for the advancement of Blacks, both Women and Blacks have traditionally leaned towards the Democrats at the voting booth since LBJ introduced his Great Society welfare program.

Notably, the accomplishments of Conservatives in support of 

Blacks and Women have either been erased from, or 

minimized in our textbooks 

- and on the Internet.

A few notable Democrats who have disparaged the Blacks who revered them:
