The federal government is notorious for concocting fallacious incidents in an effort to rally the people in a certain direction and mindset.

My prior military service has revealed much into the secretive ways of government and the shocking reality of how they do not even trust the ones carrying guns in our alleged defense.

The fact that Umar is the son of a high-ranking Nigerian military officer is likely of significance, in my opinion. I suggest to Kurt the possibility that blackmail, hypnotic suggestion, drugs, or psychological torture or manipulation may have been used to obtain Umar's "cooperation" or participation as a "patsy," wittingly or unwittingly. To the layman, such possibilities seem more like something from the pages of spy novels or movies. However, as documented in a book by John Marks, In Search for the "Manchurian Candidate," such tactics have actually been employed on a regular basis by covert operatives in our government's service. <br /><br />Kurt's suspicion that the failed bombing incident was intended to provide a pretext for body scanning machinery to be acquired and installed at the country's airport security stations may be partially, or even entirely, correct. Even well connected people like Michael Chertoff cannot for their self-interested reasons alone get the country's entire national security apparatus (across two administrations governed by two opposing political parties) to comply and conspire in the service of their narrow wishes. I suspect the imperative for purchasing more intrusive security devices was more likely a convenient byproduct rather than a conscious policy decision. More likely there is a larger, overriding "national security" objective involved in the "underwear bomber" case: to make the population more fearful of a mostly fictitious foreign enemy of our own creation, and more obedient to the will of the State. <br /><br />After the demise of the Soviet Union we have needed a new enemy. A former U.S diplomat to the Soviet Union and military leader, George Kennan, stated in a forward to Norman Cousins's 1987 book, The Pathology of Power: "Were the Soviet Union to sink tomorrow under ... the ocean, the American military-industrial complex would have to go on, substantially unchanged, until some other adversary could be invented."Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-88288421106881885962012-02-21T05:43:19.414-05:002012-02-21T05:43:19.414-05:00To lawyers like yourselves, the information above ...To lawyers like yourselves, the information above probably describes corruption that goes well beyond what even you envisioned about our government. It may seem "radical" and "far-fetched;" yet it is the well-documented and unpleasant truth. According to Michael Parenti in his book Against Empire: "To fulfill its role as protector of existing order, the state often circumvents whatever democratic restraints exist within government. The late FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover noted in a 1970 interview that 'justice is merely incidental to law and order. It's a part of law and order but not the whole of it.' Indeed, the whole of it, the indispensable goal of the law enforcement agencies of the state, Mr. Hoover made clear by his actions on many occasions, was the preservation of existing class relations, safeguarding the socio-economic structure from fundamental·reform and revolutionary change. The preservation of public safety and justice are secondary concerns of the state. The state will violate both when it is deemed necessary to secure the dominant social order."<br /><br />After damning revelations about the FBI and other government agencies throughout much of the 1970's in widely broadcast Congressional hearings (following the equally infamous Watergate-related scandals), the FBI's counter-intelligence programs were supposedly terminated. However, much evidence exists to indicate that the FBI has merely been more careful to keep its operations more covert and less subject to discovery of an internal paper trail of documents. For instance, it is apparent by the circumstantial evidence that the FBI attempted (or was complicit in) the assassination of environmental activist Judi Bari in 1989. The present prosecution of Muslims like the Lackawanna Six is a manifestation of continuation of COINTELPRO tactics involving agents provocateur that do not catch criminals so much as create them from the ranks of certain targeted politically-oriented ethnic groups.Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-74470492154366149632012-02-21T05:40:28.081-05:002012-02-21T05:40:28.081-05:00Among the numerous assassinations against American...Among the numerous assassinations against American dissidents, the most brazen and clearly documented were those of Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark in December of 1969. The Chicago apartment of Hampton was violently attacked at an early morning hour by a special police unit attached to the office of Cook County District Attorney Ed Hanrahan, but secretly instigated by the FBI who had an infiltrator / agent provocateur (a convicted car thief) planted in the Chicago Panther organization. The charismatic Hampton was a resourceful organizer and respected young leader in Chicago's African-American community and held promise to assume a national role. These qualities also made him a prime target of the FBI and its COINTELPRO. The People's Law Office in Chicago was able to see some semblance of justice done when it ultimately won a wrongful death civil lawsuit, awarding the families of the two murder victims and other Panther survivors $1.85 million in 1982. <br /><br />Another blatant example of official terrorism is the attempted blackmailing of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1963 shortly before he was to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. A doctored audio tape recording and anonymous letter originating with the FBI were sent to drive Dr. King to commit suicide. The recording purported to represent Dr. King engaging in raucous and possibly sexual activities with various people. It turned out that most of the audio recording was fraudulent. And what wasn't fraudulent - sounds captured from the FBI's illicit wiretaps and bugs - did not have to do with anything torrid going on. And don't believe for a second the official myth that has been propagated by the FBI and our government that Dr. King was assassinated by a supposed white racist named James Earl Ray. <br /><br />In fact, a 1999 wrongful death civil lawsuit brought by Dr. King's family against Loyd Jowers and various government agencies presented overwhelming and conclusive evidence to the contrary, and the jury unanimously agreed. The 200 feet distance between the sniper and the target, Dr. King, required that a highly skilled marksman to have been responsible for that one well-aimed shot. The sniper was NOT James Earl Ray who possessed no such marksman skills, had no credible motive, and never previously shot anyone or committed a violent act with a gun. The trial testimony showed that the shooter was almost certainly the Memphis police department's expert marksman, Earl Clark. The Memphis police and fire department (a combined force) was headed by Frank Holloman, a long-time secretary to Hoover and a 25-year FBI veteran. Hoover and Holloman had plenty of motive to have Dr. King assassinated, as well as having access, and the lethal means to accomplish their nefarious aim. FBI inter-office memoranda reveal that its top officials regarded Dr. King as "the most dangerous Negro in the future of this Nation from the standpoint of communism, the Negro, and national security ... it may be unrealistic to limit [our actions against King] to legalistic proofs that would stand up in court or before Congressional committees."Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-60652627242522570992012-02-21T05:38:50.117-05:002012-02-21T05:38:50.117-05:00What you need to recognize about the FBI is that t...What you need to recognize about the FBI is that throughout its entire history it has had a substantial role (unconstitutionally, I might add) of behaving as a political policing institution for the State. Created early in the 20th Century by United States Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, the agency concerned itself in its earliest days with supporting companies such as Pullman Carriage against labor organizers and agitators, and later communists, socialists, the civil rights and black liberation movement, the "New Left," the indigenous American Indian population, the Puerto Rican independence movement, and other political groups - non-violent and militant alike - whose ambition it has been to empower people lacking political power and wealth in our society. <br /><br />The mainstream media has revealed little about the real nature of the COINTELPRO. The public has generally been led to believe that the FBI was guilty of little more than overzealous, illegal wiretapping and surveillance. In reality, COINTELPRO tactics involved infiltration, psychological warfare, harassment through the legal system, and force and violence. Agents provocateur and informers did not merely spy on political activists; their main purpose was to discredit and disrupt. The FBI and police used myriad "dirty tricks" (fraud and deceit, by legal definition), such as planting false media stories and publishing bogus leaflets, posters, and other publications in the name of targeted groups. They forged correspondence, sent anonymous letters, and spread malicious rumors to divide and alienate members of targeted groups against each other and their supporters, They pressured employers, landlords, school officials, and others to cause trouble for activists, such as having them fired by their employer, expelled from school, or evicted from their homes. The FBI and police abused the legal system to harass dissidents and make them appear to be criminals. Officers of the law gave perjured testimony and presented fabricated evidence as a pretext for false arrests and wrongful imprisonment. When the previous tactics did not fully achieve the desired end of "neutralizing" their target, the FBI and police threatened, instigated, and themselves conducted break-ins, vandalism, assaults, beatings, and in some cases, political assassinations. Taken altogether, these tactics have to be regarded as a form of official "terrorism."Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-64944375144791401052012-02-21T05:37:50.927-05:002012-02-21T05:37:50.927-05:00COINTELPRO was only uncovered by chance when on th...COINTELPRO was only uncovered by chance when on the night of March 8, 1971, all the files in the desks and file cabinets were "liberated" from the FBI's Media, PA office by the self-appointed "Citizens Commission to Investigate the FBI." Of these, some 30% were manuals, routine forms, and similar procedural materials. <br />The remainder was as follows:<br />40% Political surveillance and other investigation of political activity. Of the cases, 2 were right wing, 10 concerned immigrants, and over two hundred were on left or liberal groups.<br />25% Bank robberies <br />20% Murder, rape, and interstate theft<br />7% Draft resistance, including refusal to submit to military induction <br />7% Leaving the military without government permission <br />1% Organized crime, mostly gambling<br /><br />So you can see from the above statistics the relative proportion of the FBI's illegitimate political policing activities vis-a-vis its legitimate law enforcement and investigative functions.Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-8238081542300076022012-02-21T05:36:44.003-05:002012-02-21T05:36:44.003-05:00I was born in 1955, well before you, Kurt and Lori...I was born in 1955, well before you, Kurt and Lori, and experienced in my youth the traumatic political assassinations and turbulence of the 1960's and 1970's. These events are probably only of historical interest to many younger people, but to me they speak very significantly to what has transpired in this country and throughout the world since those times, and are very much relevant today. The government's Machiavellian tactics have not changed much at all. <br /> <br />Don't be intimidated by people, and especially so-called "journalists" working for the corporate-owned mass media, ridiculing you for espousing "conspiracy theories." It is a pejorative term that seems to have been specifically designed to thwart citizen scrutiny and skepticism of the official narratives emanating from our (often corrupt) government-corporate establishment. One of the foremost and most well-documented examples of government criminal conspiracy is the FBI's Counter-intelligence Program (COINTELPRO). I recommend for your reference The COINTELPRO Papers: Documents from the FBI's Secret Wars Against Dissent in the United States by Churchill and Vander Wall. Become familiar with this literature and others and you will be well-armed and more confident in taking on detractors who attempt to label you as "paranoid" and "mentally unbalanced."Terrynoreply@blogger.com
