The CIA, Carl Oglesby, and Business International Corp.

Update:

[I should clarify that the article on the site, which is devoted to LaRouche is not from the EIR itself, but from a critic, who has added some more interesting details to the story, in the comment section0.

Update:

Just to be clear, my link to the Lyndon LaRouche site (at the bottom) isn’t meant to support the man’s theories.  LaRouche is a Hamiltonian. I am not. He was also involved, allegedly, in cult-like behavior toward followers.

However, LaRouche, as even his strongest critics (like Chip Berlet here) admit, has good research. [ To clarify, the piece is not by LaRouche but by a critic who keeps tabs on his work and thus stores an archive of it.]

Linking to people like LaRouche, Stewart Rhodes of Oath-keepers (whom someone now informs me is considered a neo-Nazi)  is a no-no, apparently, in the PC world.

One is supposed to link only to certified organic, FDA-approved, brand-name thinkers.

On top of that, I just read today that the phrase “Talmudic Jew” is considered “Nazi” language.  Now, I don’t think I’ve ever used it, but I’ve surely written somewhere about Talmudic Judaism.

And to add to my sins, I’ve defended Ayn Rand (not that I am a Randian by any means). But when the media piles on someone,  some instinct in me compels me to rush to their defense.

Dear lord.  We say “Biblical Christian” all the time. And “Shia Muslim.” What about “Vedic Hindu?” Those are fine, aren’t they? Why the difference?

I know I can denounce the “bourgeoisie” as vermin all day long and still be OK. I can even talk about  femi-nazis without a  problem. ….just so long as I approve of Chip Berlet’s employers bombing the right sort of victims.

I give two figs for such puerile nonsense.

Because someone might read the  theories behind Hitler or Mao and try to understand them, it doesn’t follow that they are Nazis or Maoists themselves.

Vegetarianism doesn’t become Nazi become Hitler adopted it.

Hitler, Mao, PolPot…as monstrous as the crimes they enabled might be, they are not qualitatively different from the crimes of the average man.

No untouchables please, whether physically – through legal deprivations of their rights…or intellectually….through ghettoization and demonization.

Carl Oglesby: “Revolutions do not take place in velvet boxes. . . . Nuns will be raped and bureaucrats will be disemboweled.”

One of the most respected student leaders of the antiwar movement in the 1960s was Carl Oglesby, who worked with Murray Rothbard, says Charles Burris at Lew Rockwell.

Not being more than a cursory student of this period, I did a little digging.

Here’s what I came up with:

Oglesby was initially a technical writer/editor with a defense contractor called Bendix, before entering politics. He soon rose to the head of  Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the best-known antiwar group.

The SDS was a splinter group from the Student League for Industrial Democracy, which was affiliated with the  National Student Association, formed in 1947.

The NSA was outed in 1966 as a CIA front.

(also here).

This was in an expose in Ramparts Magazine, a Catholic left-wing magazine.

The writers were Robert Scheer and Stanley Scheinbaum, who is described here as a communist activist.

This Catholic writer says Ramparts was a communist front posing as Catholic outlet to better attack the church.

In 2006, I wrote a piece called “Portrait of the CIA as an artist,” about cultural outlets that were set up or operated by the CIA, as the Cold War developed. Among the CIA-funded outfits was the Congress for Cultural Freedom .

All this is well known.

Besides that, several leaders in the antiwar movement, including feminist leader Gloria Steinem, received funding from the CIA.

Again, this is well-known.

New to me was that there was a  meeting set up between the business establishment and the leadership of the SDS. The  outfit involved was something called Business International, which seems to be the same Business International Corporation for which Barack Obama worked.

It’s long been considered an intelligence front.

So, you have a high-security employee of a defense contractor that was working for NASA and was later affiliated with Raytheon, entering an anti-government student movement, quickly becoming its spokesman, and letting the CIA spy on the movement without a qualm,…..but, yo,  it’s all good…

The ex- Bendix employee  suspects the company is an intelligence front trying to co-opt the movement, but that’s a good thing, because there’s an even worse bunch of business interests called “cowboys” that needs to be bested.

So, no problem.

The student movement thereafter develops a violent faction that blows up – literally as well as figuratively –   while from 1968 onward, the whole antiwar “scene” turns into a drug-addled, bead-wearing, orgiastic escape into self-help.

Oglesby worked closely with Murray Rothbard, about whose interactions with suspected CIA-affiliated figures – James Dale Davidson (of Agora Inc.), Robert Kephart, and Noam Chomsky –   I’ve blogged at length.

The Business International connection adds to the list.

Of course, I make no hard and fast claims. I just raise the issue.

Some links:

“Clinton, Quigley, and Conspiracy,” Daniel Brandt (NameBase.org):

“Almost everything that happened to the student movement (Lila: the antiwar protests against US involvement in Vietnam) is best explained without conspiracy theories. There are, however, some bits of curious evidence that should be briefly mentioned. Each of these alone doesn’t amount to much, but taken together they suggest that something more was happening — the possibility that by 1969 a significant sector of the ruling class had decided to buy into the counterculture for purposes of manipulation and control:

  • Student leaders James Kunen[19] and Carl Oglesby[20] both report that in the summer of 1968, the organization Business International, which had links to the CIA, sent high-level representatives to meet with SDS. These people wanted to help organize demonstrations for the upcoming conventions in Chicago and Miami. SDS refused the offer, but the experience convinced Oglesby that the ruling class was at war with itself, and he began developing his Yankee-Cowboy theory.
  • Tom Hayden, who by 1986 was defending his state assembly seat against those trying to oust him because of his anti-war record, was quoted as saying that while he was protesting against the Vietnam War, he was also cooperating with U.S. intelligence agents.[21]
  • The CIA was of course involved with LSD testing, but there is also evidence that it was later involved in the distribution of LSD within the counterculture.[22]
  • Feminist leader Gloria Steinem[23] and congressman Allard Lowenstein both had major CIA connections. Lowenstein was president of the National Student Association, which was funded by the CIA until exposed by Ramparts magazine in 1967. He and another NSA officer, Sam Brown, were key organizers behind the 1969 Vietnam Moratorium.[24] (In 1977 Brown became the director of ACTION under Jimmy Carter; his activism, which was more intense and more sincere than Clinton’s, didn’t hurt his career either.)
  • Symbionese Liberation Army leader Donald DeFreeze appears to have been conditioned in a behavior modification program sponsored by elements of U.S. intelligence.[25]
  • The CIA has a long history of infiltrating international organizations, from labor to students to religion. I submit that if an anti-war activist was involved in this type of international jet-setting, the burden is on them to show that they were not compromised. Clinton comes close to assuming this burden.

For more on Carl Oglesby’s meeting with Business International (the CIA front):

“Omnisicient Gentlemen of the Atlantic,” Maureen Tcacik at The Baffler, 2012 (Tcacik is an exceptionally talented writer and astute analyst of politics):

“In one of the many surreal chapters of Journey in Faith, Gene [ Lila: Gene Bradley] later attempted to influence—thought-lead?—what he saw as the perilously bereft civic “education” of the student left. The year was 1968, and the official story is that he was researching a Harvard Business Review feature—which he produced, although the research seems to have been rather more intensive than required. Gene describes consulting with the FBI, a connection made via “mutual good friends,” and a deputy of J. Edgar Hoover’s gladly inviting him to take a look at the Bureau’s secret files on the student left; then traveling through Switzerland, Germany, and France “observing” demonstrations (though none are shared in the book or the story); and, finally, most bizarrely, leading a delegation of fellow businessmen in a “debate” with Students for a Democratic Society leader Carl Oglesby—hosted (“with the best of intentions but with a full measure of naiveté,” he writes) by a concern called the Business International Corporation.

It seems likely that the 1968 summit at which Bradley “debated” one-time SDS president Carl Oglesby was the same SDS-BI meeting referenced in James Simon Kunen’s SDS memoir The Strawberry Statement: Notes of a College Revolutionary. In the SDS version, the purpose of the meeting is straightforward. Certain unnamed businessmen who portray themselves as “the left wing of the ruling class” are seeking to “buy off some radicals”—purportedly because they’re rooting for Gene McCarthy to win the presidency. The businessmen “see fascism as the threat, see it coming from [segregationist George] Wallace,” Kunen reports. The idea is that heavy protests, which the businessmen offer to finance, will “make Gene [McCarthy] look more reasonable.”

This stated fear and motive seems dubious. Gene, after all, reported in the first chapter of his memoir how effectively he repressed his own fear of fascists. And the only people spooked by Wallace were those powerless enough to intimidate. Whatever the executives wanted from a bunch of college hippies, though, they were willing to both lie about and pay for. It’s all too easy to see in retrospect that lopsided “debates” of this sort had accumulated into a political reality that, for the lifetime of a college kid in 1968 anyway, was inextricable from the concoctions of Cold War propagandists.

Just the year before, the National Student Association, the dominant campus activism network that had spawned SDS, had been outed (along with the CCF enterprises) as a CIA front. It would not be until the late seventies that the bland-sounding sponsor of the Oglesby Bradley forum, Business International, would concede its own dual role as a CIA operation.”

“Ravens or Pigeons: SDS Meets Business International” (From Lyndon Larouche’s archives):

In his monumental history of SDS, Kirkpatrick Sale arguably makes a monumental goof. In his detailed discussion of 1968, he fails to mention one critical incident: the attempt by former SDS president Carl Oglesby to broker an alliance between SDS and the “Eastern Establishment” via Business International (BI), a firm that published sophisticated economic reports and advised top corporations. Sale’s mistake seems especially odd since the debate over Business International inside SDS was hardly a well-kept secret; there was even a long article about BI in New Left Notes.

The SDS-BI talks inspired the discovery of a supposed war between the “Yankee” and “Cowboy” factions of U.S. capitalism. In April 1968, Oglesby wrote a long article in the National Guardian promoting the idea of a deep split in the ruling class between two capitalist factions that he labeled “Yankees and Cowboys.”12 He argued that SDS should align with the Eastern Establishment Yankees, who, he argued, were anti-war, pro-Bobby Kennedy and opposed to newer and meaner factions of U.S. capital centered in the South and Southwest.13 In an August 1974 Ramparts article, Steve Weissman reports that in 1968 there was even a “vague proposal” by the Business International network to do “whatever was possible” to help SDS stage “a massive demonstration against Humphrey” in Chicago and one against Nixon in Miami.14 Weissman then recalled that SDS “refused the offer.”

In his memoir Ravens in the Storm, Oglesby discusses his negotiations with BI president Eldridge Haynes.15 Oglesby recalls that he first met Haynes at the Gotham Hotel in New York in the spring of 1968. As for Haynes:

He was a Harvard man. He had spent much of his career in the Foreign Service but had left government during the Kennedy years to become a consultant to businesses operating in the “frequently turbulent” countries of the Third World. This work had grown into Business International, Inc. CIA, right?16

The next day Oglesby took part in a roundtable presentation about SDS to a select group that included executives from GM, GE, AT&T, IBM, Ford, the AP, and even “a man from the State Department.” Two weeks later, Oglesby helped organize another dialog between BI clients and half a dozen SDSers from Columbia and CCNY. . . . SDS groups without me continued these meetings, sitting down with BI people four times that spring. . . . Haynes and I kept meeting. A little later that same spring, Haynes popped the big question. “Suppose Robert Kennedy were to become a presidential candidate. Do you imagine, Carl, that SDS might be inclined to support him?”17

Oglesby then explains:

I must confess, too, that I’d been scared of heavy-metal politics from the beginning . . . My fears of SDS’s leftward inclinations were strengthened by my sense, as of the BI meetings, that an alternative to a politics of rage was within our reach, and that it was essential that we choose it. . . . There was no way for us to achieve our objectives, I thought, without at some point establishing a sotto voce relationship with mainstream grown-ups.18

Clearly Haynes had done his homework and chose his first big SDS contact well.

Oglesby relates a conversation he had with Bernardine Dohrn who, like the vast majority of SDS members, opposed any alliance with BI, “sotto voce” or not. Oglesby says that he told Dohrn that even if “Haynes or the CIA has a secret agenda, I believe it’s not to screw us up but to use us in some way to help make RFK president.”

[Lila: as I believe the CIA – and Ron Paul’s campaign – used the Ron Paul libertarians to make Barack Obama president again.]

Dohrn replied:

Well, it could be both, couldn’t it? . . . You say this BI’s thing is to gather intelligence on Third World countries and sell it to the guys you once denounced as corporate imperialists. I don’t understand you, Carl. It seems like you talk one way and act another.“19

Oglesby remarked that Dohrn “was probably right in assuming that BI and Haynes were tied to Kennedy and very possibly to the CIA. . . . But who cared? As far as I was concerned, the more the CIA knew about SDS, the better. We had nothing to hide!”

Gene Bradley was one of the participants in a BI-sponsored meeting with Oglesby. A Christian Science devotee, Bradley headed up the International Management Association. In a 2012 article for The Baffler, Maureen Tkacik notes that Bradley’s life reads like the history of a “big-time spook.”20 In September 1968 Bradley, a vice-president of the National Strategic Information Center as well as a businessman, wrote an article for the Harvard Business Review entitled “What Businessmen Need to Know about the Student Left.” In his memoir The Story of One Man’s Journey in Faith, Bradley reports that as part of his research, “mutual friends” invited him to meet Hoover’s top FBI aide William Sullivan, who let Bradley read FBI files on the New Left. Bradley also recalls debating SDS’s “Carl Ogilsvie.”

Lila:

And, finally, here is Russell Kirk on the progression of Carl Oglesby from high-security employee of  defense contractor Bendix, which made telecom equipment for NASA, to president of  SDS, whose parent organization was a CIA front.

Oglesby was a friend of both Bernadine Dorn and of Hillary Clinton…until he finally left politics to write history and make music.

“Humane Letters and the Clutch of Ideology”

(Russell Kirk, The Imaginative Conservative, March 2012, originally published in The Political Science Reviewer, Fall, 1973)

“Indeed, the eagerness of certain contributors to withdraw from political activism into literary scholarship is almost embarrassing. Take Mr. Carl Oglesby, who once led the riots at the University of Wisconsin.

Mr. Oglesby here gives us an essay entitled “Melville, or Water Consciousness 8c Its madness.” Herman Melville, he says, found a madness he could live with. Ahab was evil, exploiting his crew, and Moby Dick was the victim of Ahab’s imperialism.”

QUOTE FROM OGLEBY

“So with a subdued Melville, I ask: Given some broad estimate of the scale, tempo and rhythm at which protoimperial systems condense out and acquire historical outline and social architecture, then swell and grow fevered, finally either to hang suspended a moment before a sometimes luminously sweeping descent, or else to burst all at once and splash blood everywhere, leaving little behind besides shards, cripples and memories that everyone who survives them pants to forget: given ‘these choices, what is the political utility of the concept anti-imperialism?”
END QUOTE

Russell Kirk:

“Is this rich, beautiful prose, transcending the sorry time? Mr. Oglesby clearly hopes so. But Mr. Oglesby’s prose will make no revolution; it may not even make sense. He sedulously avoids any direct reference to Viet Nam, as if he were writing in the Circum- locution Office – as if he would be prosecuted for so heroic a dissent. One thinks of a remark by Georges Sorel, meant to be approbatory: “Our experience of the Marxian theory of value convinces me of the importance which obscurity of style may lend to a doctrine.

They talk of liberty, but hunger for power; they idolize the People, but serve the ego. If one is bound for Zion, it is not well to plod round a prickly pear planted long ago by Mr. Marx of the British Museum; nor is that a good exercise for rousing the literary imagination. Nevertheless, the cactus land of ideology is perfectly safe for an American writer nowadays.

Blessed are the academic revolutionaries, for they shall know tenure.”

Aaron Swartz: folk hero and also NWO front? (Update)

Posted on by

Update:

And confirming my suspicions, here’s a detailed piece about Swartz’s ties to the hacker community, linking Aaron Swartz to Wikileaks (which had already claimed he was a source after his death); to Jacob Applebaum. Applebaum is the WL hacker whom I’ve mentioned before as being linked (in a Rolling Stones article) to imagery from the  “V for Vendetta”  movie. Swartz is also linked to Bradley Manning.

The Manning tie suggests a motive for Swartz’s depression (if indeed depression was what led to his death).

Swartz might have feared much worse from the Feds than just the investigation of the JSTOR articles.

It also makes one wonder if someone else might have had a motive for eliminating him. It was always implausible to me that Bradley Manning got all those documents on his own.  If someone had to get them for him, who better than Aaron Swartz, with his savant0-like skills.

ORIGINAL POST

I’ve never swallowed the media’s uncritical praise for “information activist,” Aaron Swartz.

One story that kept getting repeated was how Swartz co-founded Reddit.

Indeed he did no such thing. He was the founder of Infogami.

The founders of Reddit were Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian. Infogami merged with Reddit and one of the pay-offs to Swartz was that he got to claim that he was co-founder.

It’s time put that story to bed. Along with the notion that Aaron Swartz was a hacktivist who gave his life for information freedom.

That’s the story pushed by the media establishment, including its Internet billionaires, who, naturally can make anything a story all on their own, with no factual “there” there.

Aaron Swartz made a lot of money out of what’s in the public realm. He just couldn’t let other people do the same thing.

Just as Julian Assange wanted everyone else’s secrets outed, but not his own.

That’s a  self-contradiction so obvious only the media here could gloss over it.

Swartz, a Chomsky and Michael Moore admirer, achieved Internet sainthood, but it is the sainthood conferred by cyber-swarms that engage in kamikaze attacks on any blog that doesn’t join their enthusiasms.

Aaron Swartz was very smart and gifted, but he was also young and naive.   He was, I believe, used by the globalist establishment in its ongoing attack on the nation-state of America……..in the services of the supra-national world order.

[Added, Nov. 9. The NWO both attacks and defends the nation-state alternately so as to co-opt both sides of the struggle, but it’s an international order. If there was a natural devolutionary process, I would be all for it. A managed devolution can have only the result all managed processes have –  a top-heavy central bureaucracy and increasingly hollowed -out societies.]

[Lila: Nov 8. I rewrote one passage above because I was much too sharp toward Swartz, who was, after all, only 26 or 27. He couldn’t be expected to know all the forces at work in politics nor understood how attractive a great talent would be to them, as a mouthpiece for their ambitious projects. ]

The nation-state is dead. Long live the global state.

When Reddit was created, it struggled initially. Then it suddenly acquired millions of readers and was bought out by Conde Nast publications.

Who is behind Conde Nast?

Samuel Newhouse, the 47th richest American in 2011 (according to Forbes) and the chairman and CEO of Advance Publications, which owns Conde Nast.

Through Conde Nast, Newhouse owns a whole host of magazines: Vogue, Vanity Fair,  The New Yorker, Glamour, Ars Technica, Wired, Architectural Digest, and many others.

Yes. Ars Technica, where the only internet record of Edward Snowden surfaced, wearing the handle the True Hoo Ha .

One meaning of Hoo Ha is vagina. Does that ring a bell?

Vagina was the 2012 book by OccupyWallStreet advocate and chief agitator, Naomi Wolf.

Vaginas are called “p******” in slang.

P**** Riot was the CIA-inflected group behind agitation against the Orthodox Church in Russia.

The New World Order ostentatiously celebrates female sexuality, although it ostentatiously denounces female fertility.

Wired is the magazine whose chief investigative writer Kevin Poulsen worked on a project with Swartz.

Poulsen was once a serial black-hat hacker. He also worked in Silicon Valley in the employ of defense contractors and he hacked into telephone systems, spying on and stealing information from anyone. Poulsen was in the thick of a fight between Glenn Greenwald and Salon on the one hand and Wired and Poulsen on the other about whether chat logs between Adrian Lamo and Bradley Manning actually showed evidence of Wikileaks’ involvement. Poulsen was accused of withholding information, in the same way Greenwald is in turn accused of withholding information.

Is it just coincidence that the same outfits keep showing up in these squabbles or can we surmise that though on opposing sides they set up the parameters of the debate and indeed create the debate?

That Swartz hid his tracks  shows he knew what he was doing wouldn’t be passed off as a prank.

That he chose to commit suicide only lends credibility to the suspicion that he might have been used by more powerful entities.

Yes, the prosecution was over-zealous and blundering. But Swartz himself was not doing anything completely innocuous. He was engaged in the “propaganda of the deed” and had been for a while. That made him an enemy of the government.

Too stupid to uncover the networks behind Swartz, the government, as usual, hit the weak link in the chain with as big a hammer as it could.

Swartz took his life.

No telling where the investigation might have led.

Had we even the suspicion of a press, someone would have followed the money…

The real story behind much contemporary  “hacktivism” and a good deal of  social activism.

You heard it first here –

Aaron Swartz was a front.

Advance Publications was the 52nd largest private company in the US in 2012 and it is the holding company for the Newhouse family’s interests.

Through Advance, the Newhouse family owns such cable/telecom companies as Brighthouse Networks and a 31% share in the cable-network Discovery Communications.

Discovery’s other owners include reclusive billionaire John Hendricks, its founder.

Discovery’s most famous shows are the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. In 2009 it ran a viral pandemic survival show.

Discovery Channel has been fingered by several independent bloggers as a venue for the dissemination of disinformation that sanitizes or mainstreams the New World Order and its symbols.

Newhouse and Advance are the powers that propelled Reddit to fame and success.

A precocious savant, Swartz used his credibility as a computer genius to enter politics on behalf of bigger government, surely a strange career move for a “libertarian” folk-hero.

I’m not talking of a law changed here or there. I am not talking about removal of subsidies and enforcement of existing laws.

Schwartz was a front for Democrat interests, as the mover behind Demand Progress and  Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

PCCC was behind the rise to stardom of chief “sheriff” on Wall Street, Elizabeth Warren:

“The campaign to draft Elizabeth Warren was declared “The Most Valuable Campaign of 2011” by The Nation magazine.[13] With almost 50,000 individual contributions, the PCCC raised more than $800,000 for Warren’s campaign. (Wikipedia)

The point is not the individual positions for which PCCC advocated – whether for Wall Street reform and net neutrality or against SOPA and Stand Your Ground. I have been on the same side on some of them.

The point is that the PCCC advocated progressive Democrat positions across the board.

It was a partisan political organization. Not an individualist advocate of this or that position, each judiciously considered on its own merits.

Swartz’s last post on his blog before his suicide was about the film, “Dark Knight,” according to a blog calling itself Digital Dark Knight (it carries the subtitle The Ethics of Anonymous).

This Digital Dark Knight blog appears to carry only a few posts from January to April 2013 and they deal with Anonymous, the Dark Knight, the Joker, Swartz and Batman.

Apparently on his personal blog, Raw Thought, Swartz had been writing about The Dark Knight. It was his last entry.

Swartz wrote:

“The movie concludes by emphasizing that Batman must become the villain, but as usual it never stops to notice that the Joker is actually the hero. But even though his various games only have one innocent casualty, he’s much too crazy to be a viable role model for Batman. His inspired chaos destroys the criminals, but it also terrorizes the population. Thanks to Batman, society doesn’t devolve into a self-interested war of all-against-all, as he apparently expects it to, but that doesn’t mean anyone enjoys the trials.”

The Dark Knight is another of those movies, like “V for Vendetta,” “Avatar,” and “Zeitgeist,” that propagates images and themes needing to be impressed on the public mind.

The masks from Vendetta appear in a Rolling Stone article about Wikileaks and Jacob Applebaum.

Imagery from Dark Knight follows Julian Assange in his media appearances.

The Digital Dark Knight blog looks much like one of the fake internet persona promised to us by the new information warfare technology of the government and its corporate big brothers.

It seems to have been set up solely to make a connection between Swartz and Dark Knight.

Swartz must be linked in the public consciousness with liberation and salvation.

Assange/Swartz/Anonymous are batmen. Lulz and other pranksters are the Joker.

This is subliminal prepping of the public mind for revolution against the state. But it is a corporate-state sponsored revolution, like Occupy Wall Street.

Behind Wikileaks we find the Rothschild machinery.

Behind Anonymous, Snowden and Greenwald,  mega-billion dollar spy corporations.

Behind Aaron Swartz and the anti-IP movement, the cyber-warriors, and the hacktivists, we will also find the information/internet billionaires who make money from the use of public information but object to others doing exactly the same thing.

Their objection is not an ideological one. It is simply a pragmatic one, a partisan one.

The more information a company can take without paying for it, the more money it makes when it commercializes the information. The bigger their market share, the less for others (so they believe) and the more power – financial, social, and political- they gain.

Theft is a great business model, saving R&D costs.

How better to get the public to regard theft as innovation than by adding the word activism to hack?

Doing well by doing good.

Sometimes, just doing well.

Leave doing good to the movie.

Greenwald-backer Omidyar: front for CIA, data-mining, biowarfare

Posted on by

UPDATE 2:

Madsen seems to be behind The Rancid Honey Trap on this

UPDATE:

The piece I posted in excerpt, by Shimatsu, seems to rely a lot on research done at Wayne Madsen’s Report. The biowarfare conspiracy theory (the weakest part) seems to be Shimatsu’s addition. Perhaps that’s the disinformation bit meant to discredit the rest.

[lLila, March 16, 2022:  Shimatsu was a lot MORE prescient than I suspected and the biowarfare theory now sounds DEAD ON. No conspiracy at all. This was 2013 and  this is 2021 bioterror is what it is all about. Hats off to Shimatsu. ]

An excerpt from Madsen’s piece October 23, 2013)I

“And Snowden and Obama are not the only ones with connections in Hawaii. It turns out that Omidyar’s parents settled in Hawaii after living for a short time in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC before moving to Hawaii. Omidyar attended the elite private Punahou High School in Manoa for the eighth and ninth grades, having arrived at the school in 1979, the same year Obama graduated from the school. Omidyar’s wife, Pamela Wesley Omidyar, is a graduate of Hawaii’s I’olani school, another of Hawaii’s elite private secondary schools. Omidyar maintains a residence in the wealthy Kahala neighborhood of Honolulu.

Omidyar is interested in supporting Hawaiian culture. However, that ruse has been used by the Mormons for years to increase their influence not only in Hawaii but also in Pacific island nations of Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands. Another cult that is active in Hawaii is the Bahais, which originated in Persia and now have their global headquarters in Haifa, Israel. The Bahais not only push the Polynesian culture theme in the same manner as the Mormons but even consider Mormon founder Joseph Smith to be a true seer of God. Some observers have pointed out that the Omidyars’ Roshan Foundation pushes Bahai-like principles. The Shah of Iran supported the Bahais to counter the influence of the Shi’a mullahs who ultimately overthrew him in 1979, the year the Omidyars moved to Hawaii from the Washington, DC area.

Iran has accused the Bahais of being involved in cyber-attacks on Iranian computer systems and networks, as well as working with the CIA-supported terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) guerrillas that have launched violent attacks inside Iran. With their headquarters in Haifa, the links between the Bahai organization and Mossad are well-known throughout the Middle East and South Asia.

ORIGINAL POST

Yet another embarrassing chapter in the ongoing brain-washing of the endlessly malleable public, reported by Hong-Kong journalist Yoichi Shimatsu at DavidShurter.com.

Shimatsu is a Japanese journalist who writes anti-NWO pieces. Some say he passes on disinformation. But the analysis of the Snowden story sounds quite credible to me, except for its faith in Mr. Snowden.

Shimatsu’s thesis is that the super-snitch was a patsy in a frame-up concocted by lawyer-blogger Glenn Greenwald and that Greenwald is one of the infiltrators promised by Obama’s surveillance czar, Cass Sunstein.

Cass Sunstein’s program had as its goal the  cognitive infiltration of conspiracy theorists.

First, activists and dissidents were gulled by Greenwald’s performance as “good cop” opposite Sunstein’s “bad cop” in a well-publicized face-off. That enabled Greenwald to lure his readers into the banal legal quibbling that diverted outrage against the Bush administration’s war crimes from effective prosecution into toothless debate.

In this blog post, Shimatsu presents a compelling picture of Greenwald’s new financial backer, Ebay founder and billionaire Pierre Omidyar as as an intelligence-front from way back, the perfect “minder” for the  spy warfare (MI6 & CIA versus NSA) that plausibly produced the whole Snowden saga.

Shimatsu is more trusting of Snowden’s role in all this than I am, but the post is quite a read.

Some outstanding take-aways include his description of Omidyar’s mother, a PhD linguist, engaged in work similar to that of Barack Obama’s mother, who was an anthropologist in Asia:

“For purposes of discussion here, the Omidya valorization of Persepolis indicates attachment to the Shah of Iran, whose court included many advisors and officials were Bahai followers or Jewish by birth.

Oddly, the Roshan Institute board includes only one cultural expert, Dr. Omidyar. The others are deans, which makes sense because Roshan’s main activity is to provide scholarships to students and place them in allied universities. One of the more interesting board members is former Democrat Florida congresswoman Jan Scheider, a former staffer with Terry McAuliff and lawyer for Bill Clinton. Mrs. Omidyar is one of her campaign contributors.”

and this:

“Among the board members is former University of Hawaii Mano chancellor Virgina Hinton. The microbiologist is a top expert in the avian influenza or bird flu virus, which whe weaponized poses the greatest threat of a mass-destruction epidemic. Before coming to Hawaii , Dr. Hinton served as head of the animal lab at the University of Wisconsin Madison . Her chosen successor at that position was Yoshikiko Kawaoka, the Japanese scientist from Kobe University who in fact did soon at UW weaponize H5N1 into a highly lethal and contagious super-flu strain.”

Shimatsu even sees the Greenwald-Omidyar alliance as a replay of earlier New World Order alliances:

“Occult Triangle

The triangular relationship of the Disraeli/Rothschid – Oxford Movement – Bahai/Salafism of the 19th is now being reflected in the Snowden affair with the collusion of the Zionism/Greenwald – Guardian/Royalist – Bahai/Omidyar. History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as a farce.

As Israel edges toward a first-strike attack against Iran , while ramping up its covert wars against Iranian influence in Sudan and Palestine , is it any wonder that Pierre Omidyar and Glenn Greenwald are preparing to launch a major online propaganda mouthpiece? Is this new media venture, too, part of the Bahai plan to prepare for the imminent End of the World to be delivered by an unstoppable contagion of super-flu?”

This part seems to reach a bit but Shimatsu analyses the Snowden affair well:

“Whistle-blower Edward Snowden was taken for a ride by con artists in the service of the US and UK intelligence agencies.

[Lila: I disagree that he was “taken in.” I  think he’s part of the staging.]

Under the cover of “independent journalism”, the scammers conned him out of his trove of secret NSA files, hustled him from Hong Kong ahead of legislature-sponsored public hearings on cyber-espionage, and unceremoniously dumped him, minus documents, in a transit lounge at Moscow Airport . This report shows how the American and British spymasters retrieved the top-secret files by luring the fugitive into a well-laid trap, while the mass media went along with the deception to aid the authorities in evading public calls to abolish the global surveillance state.

Pierre Omidyar, founder of the online flea market e-Bay, is betting a reported $250 million that the accomplices of whistleblower Edward Snowden can follow up their caper with the launch of an online news site with global reach. The ethnic Iranian tycoon is funding a new media project for the team of Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill because he became “more alarmed about the pressures coming down on journalists with the various leak investigations in Washington .” (Pacific Business News)

An angel investor committed to press freedom and opposed to government surveillance is every journalist’s dream even though it sounds too good to be true. There are serious grounds for questioning the credibility of Greenwald and his newest patron, whose business venture Omidyar Network is closely connected with NSA contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, Edward Snowden’s erstwhile employer.

[Lila: Which suggests that Snowden is himself complicit in some way. Perhaps as a patsy, perhaps with more culpability.]

Known for his globalist vision and “social-impact” projects in the developing countries,

[Lila: Public philanthropy from the inner circle of the Internet billionaires is rarely charity but simply business as usual.]

..backed by immense personal wealth, Omidyar follows in the footsteps of other billionaires who launched their own electronic media projects: George Soros with his slew of propaganda organs, Ariana Huffington at HuffPost and Michael Bloomberg with his financial news arm, to name a few. These well-oiled publicity machines hardly qualify as standard-bearers of objective reporting since each of these opinion-shapers has a political agenda, from running City Hall to fomenting uprisings for regime change in support of market economics. Early on, it already appears that Omidyar, for all his sentimental sound bites, could turn out to be the worst of a bad lot.

Partnering Booz Allen

In stark contrast to his libertarian posturing

[Lila:  The Internet billionaires (Thiel, Omidyar, Zuckerberg, Brin, Page) whose corporations profit from data collecting profess everything from left to right libertarianism and liberalism]

I’ve blogged about this repeatedly, in relation to Wikileaks, Face-book, and Google.]

Omidyar is connected at the hip to the very same intelligence nexus that he publicly condemns, particularly Booz Allen Hamilton, the NSA security contractor that employed Snowden in Hawaii and Japan . One of the major investment partners with Omidyar Network, Salvadore ”Sal” Gambianco, sits on the board of directors of Booz Allen Hamilton Holdings.

[\As head of Omidyar Network’s human capital operations, Giambanco vets trainees and assesses employee performance for promotion or termination. For more than a decade, Omidyar Network has had a revolving door for its employees with Booz Allen, shuttling staffers and interns for intelligence-related postings. Just a few of these individuals who worked for both Omidyar Network and Booz Allen include:

– Dhaya Lakshminarayan who was sent to Cuba to research development programs;
– Pranay Chulet hired to head Omidyar-backed Quikr in India ;
– Patricia Sosrodjojo, Indonesian venture capital expert in Jakarta ; and
– Michael Kent, a Booz Allen counter-terrorism specialist who served as a research associate at the Omidyar campus in Redwood City , California .

The relationship, simply put, is corporate collusion, and if businesses could be married, Booz Allen and Omidyar Network are husband and wife.

Inside the NSA’s Big Tent

Booz Allen and Omidyar Network are corporate members of an NSA-linked consortium called Innocentive, a consultancy focused on crowdsourcing (read: data-mining of public-opinion polls, consumer surveys and Internet-based personal data).

[Lila: That’s what “transparency” is all about. It’s “transparency” for us and “privacy” for them.]

Other member-companies include In-Q-Tel, a developer of communications monitoring software spawned with millions in start-up capital from the CIA.

Also represented is the In-Q-Tel spin-off Palantir, which creates fictive personas or virtual trolls to mount smear campaigns to debunk or threaten journalists and critical websites online and in letters to editors.

{Lila:  I ‘ve really wondered about a few trolls who’ve followed me around. They always seemed to me to be phony…)

“Palantir, which refers to itself as an “electronic warfare” firm, has created a meta-data collection program similar to the NSA’s PRISM. Michael Leiter, former head of the National Counter-Terrorism Center , is the executive counsel to Palantir.

[Another corporate partner in Innocentive is Lilly Ventures, the investment arm of Eli Lilly pharmaceuticals, which produced LSD for the MK-ULTRA mind-control program and is now the lead partner in the Obama-sponsored national brain-mapping project. Full-spectrum surveillance is advancing from wireless electronics into the bio-network of the human synapses, the last frontier for total mind control. The objective of pre-crime pre-cognition, that is, the detection of criminal tendencies, for instance, resistance to authority, and intervention before the crime can happen. Using drugs to impair the mental capabilities of individuals is, of course, only a part of a wider and larger program of social engineering to ensure domination of the globalist elites over any increasingly dependant and expendable population.

As birds of the feather that flock together, Booz Allen Hamilton and Omidyar Network are a pair of ducks in the NSA-CIA pond. These intelligence links are so thinly guised, it beggars belief that an attorney like Greenwald who practiced law in New York City could be so oblivious to the conflict of interest in regard to the security of his client Edward Snowden.

Either Glenn Greenwald is a gullible village idiot or he is one of many actors planted in this spy charade. Nobody in the intelligence game is allowed to be that naïve, especially when it is crystal clear from these interlocking corporate connections that Pierre Omidyar is hardly an innocent when he has every incentive to work on behalf of Booz Allen and the NSA to recover the Snowden files.”

Jean Raspail: sage dystopia or severe diplopia?

Posted on by
At Zobenigo blog, Jean Raspail’s gloriously muddle-headed dystopia about the destruction of a virginal Europe by inchoate brown masses (the yellow peril recycled) gets a keen rebuttal:
“The reasons for the popularity of Le Camp des saints are easy enough to decode. Here’s the novel’s synopsis from the usual place:

The story begins in Bombay, India, where the Dutch government has announced a policy that Indian babies will be adopted and raised in the Netherlands. The policy is reversed when the Dutch consulate is inundated with parents eager to give up their infant children as it would be one less mouth to feed. An Indian “wise man” then rallies the masses to make a mass exodus to live in Europe. Most of the story centers on the French Riviera, where almost no one remains except for the military and a few civilians, including a retired professor who has been watching the huge fleet of run down freighters approaching the French coast. The story alternates between the French reaction to the mass immigration and the attitude of the immigrants. They have no desire to assimilate into French culture but want the plentiful food and water that are in short supply their native India. Near the end of the story the mayor of New York City is made to share Gracie Mansion with three families from Harlem, the Queen of England must agree to have her son marry a Pakistani woman, and only one drunken Soviet soldier stands in the way of thousands of Chinese people as they swarm into Siberia.

In short, it’s the OYPA — the old yellow peril alarm — all over again.THE OYPA seems a weird beast to me since I have spent all my life being bored with the familiar and seeking out out the exotic as its antidote. I welcome Asian immigration on several grounds: first, the wonderfully zany Indians seem a million times more interesting to me than the predictable familiar boring French, whom I have no reason to love anyway; certainly, on average, Pakistani women are prettier than the English; the food they bring is more tasty; etc.

I therefore cannot fit into my head: why would not everyone else feel the same way?

What is more interesting about Jean Raspail’s brain is that it appears to be internally split: while writing his Dantean yellow perilist visions about foreigners flooding (and destroying) good old France, he simultaneously writes other books of scathing criticism of the very same modern France as a rotten perversion of its former self. He is a monarchist to the core and writes movingly about the spark of divinity which resides in the person of the king; his inviolability and irreplacability; the dire consequences of regicide; the lack of proper legitimacy in the person of a merely elected President; lack of authority; lack of respect for authority; etc. This is not merely a political fantasy: Jean Raspail senses that there is something deeply and fundamentally rotten about modern French (and, more generally, European) culture (about which he is probably right) and seeks its causes in the abolition of the monarchy two hundred years ago (I withhold my opinion).

But then he defends that very same rotten France against subversion by foreigners. Why? If France is rotten, then, heck, why not let it sink?

This is known to psychologists as cognitive dissonance.”

God-father of Rothbardian libertarians was CIA source?

Update 2:

I found this in Calvin Kephart’s writings about his ancestor Weisel (Calvin was Robert Kephardt’s father):

“Thus, the armorial insignia of the barons in the First Crusade are the very oldest in Europe, older than those of any royal family unless a king later descended from one of these barons. They were self-designed and self-adopted and were not granted by any prince. Many had the cross in the design because of the religious aspect of this adventure; others did not. All were simple in style.

We have not yet learned whether our Weisel ancestor was among the knights in the First Crusade. If so, then this coat-of-arms dates from that time. If not, then it was designed and adopted only a generation or two later (probably by 1150), when thousands of other noble families were finding it desirable to do so, for uses in both peace and war. With this historic setting, it is a noble heritage, distinct from all others, and is the emblem of the Weisel clan in the same way that Old Glory is the emblem of the American people as a nation. Its use today is mainly sentimental, chiefly for ornamental purposes, but because of its great age and its meaning it should be prized and be preserved among our other family traditions. ”

C. I. K.

Update 2

Several people named on the list have criticized John Young for publishing the Crowley files, claiming that since the names are often the same as those listed at the professional organization for former intelligence officers (AFIO) their publication must constitute a violation of copyright, as well as an invasion of privacy.

John Young, to his credit, has not given in to the criticism and has continued to run the files at his site.

However, Daniel Brandt, creator of the news archive, NameBase.org, says the names listed at Cryptome include many people who were not sources but simply aficionados of intelligence.  However, even on his terms (see below), Kephart’s name does seem to merit its entry.

UPDATE:

For evidence that the Robert D. Kephart listed at Cryptome.org is the same Robert D. Kephart who  was the editor of Human Events and the godfather of the organizational end of Rothbardian libertarianism, I offer the following:

1.http://www.ancientfaces.com/person/robert-d-kephart/30649469

“Robert D Kephart 1922 – 2004 was a member of the Kephart family. Robert was born on March 31, 1922. Robert died on October 14, 2004 at 82 years old. Robert D. Kephart’s last known residence is at Faber, Nelson County, VA 22938.”

Cryptome lists Kephart’s address as a PO Box in Faber, Va.

http://www.crow96.20m.com/

2. The obituaries published by Liberty magazine and  Human Events give the same death date for Robert D. Kephart.

3. Friends refer to Robert D. Kephart’s helmsmanship and days in the US navy.

4. The Crowley files themselves mention a Robert Kephart of Human Events and a US Navy Commander Kephart whom they list together. I understood this to be an aggregation of all references to the same person in the files.

5. Evaluation of the Crowley list by Daniel Brandt. Brandt says that the list cannot be considered in any way an accurate list of CIA sources and includes a number of people who were merely interested in intelligence issues or approved of the use of intelligence by the US.

He matched the names against the AFIO (Association of Former Intelligence Officers) directory and listed the ones that did NOT show up. Kephart’s name is not on his list. It follows that Kephart’s name is on the AFIO list, which has gone back behind a password.

If I am in anyway in error in identifying Robert D. Kephart of Human Events as a CIA source, I welcome you to send this blog contradictory information.  You can do so anonymously, with a request not to publish the post, which I will honor.

I do not respond to private emails.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE

I’ll begin with something related.

There was a revelatory post at Lew Rockwell about how Russell Kirk, the godfather of the American conservative movement, was on the payroll of the CIA for a short while.

QUOTE::

“You know, Russell Kirk, his writings both before and after he went on the Buckley payroll are quite wonderful on foreign policy.  During the period he was on the payroll, unfortunately, they were just like everybody else.”

This fascinating assertion wasn’t documented in any way, although I think on its face it’s quite credible. The unpalatable fact is that almost all prominent figures in the media or academics then and even now are co-opted in some fashion by the intelligence agencies.

Some wittingly, some unwittingly.

Anyway, in looking for further evidence for the Kirk-was-CIA story, I ran into passages from Murray Rothbard’s “Betrayal of the American Right” on the history of the subversion of the old right:

“In the light of hindsight, we should now ask whether or not a major objective of National Review from its inception was to transform the right wing from an isolationist to global warmongering anti-Communist movement; and, particularly, whether or not the entire effort was in essence a CIA operation. We now know that Bill Buckley, for the two years prior to establishing National Review, was admittedly a CIA agent in Mexico City, and that the sinister E. Howard Hunt was his control. His sister Priscilla, who became managing editor of National Review, was also in the CIA; and other editors James Burnham and Willmoore Kendall had at least been recipients of CIA largesse in the anti-Communist Congress for Cultural Freedom. In addition, Burnham has been identified by two reliable sources as a consultant for the CIA in the years after World War II.[10] Moreover, Garry Wills relates in his memoirs of the conservative movement that Frank Meyer, to whom he was close at the time, was convinced that the magazine was a CIA operation. With his Leninist-trained nose for intrigue, Meyer must be considered an important witness.

Furthermore, it was a standard practice in the CIA, at least in those early years, that no one ever resigned from the CIA. A friend of mine who joined the agency in the early 1950s told me that if, before the age of retirement, he was mentioned as having left the CIA for another job, that I was to disregard it, since it would only be a cover for continuing agency work. On that testimony, the case for NR being a CIA operation becomes even stronger. Also suggestive is the fact that a character even more sinister than E. Howard Hunt, William J. Casey, appears at key moments of the establishment of the New over the Old Right. It was Casey who, as attorney, presided over the incorporation of National Review and had arranged the details of the ouster of Felix Morley from Human Events.”

At least here, Rothbard doesn’t mention Kirk.

Nonetheless, confirmed or merely a suspicion, the story only adds more fuel to the widespread belief that most of the American media is infiltrated by intelligence.

I’ve suspected that and blogged as much, as you can see from this post which compiles a few of the relevant links.

What Rothbard and Rockwell don’t mention though is that it was not just the conservative movement.

There’s a good deal of evidence that the CIA is also behind a large part of the libertarian movement. I’ve blogged about that several times.

What I haven’t blogged until now is that one of the godfathers of American libertarianism is listed as a CIA source or informant.

That is Robert D.  Kephart, who died in 2004. He was the publisher of the conservative magazine, Human Events from 1968-1975.

He later became a very influential libertarian. Perhaps one of the most, from the point of view of organizing the movement.

You can find Kephart’s name listed at Cryptome.org in the Crowley files, as one of scores of CIA sources (a source is not an agent but a figure who keeps the intelligence services posted on what’s going on and how to keep it in line with the agenda of the Agency).

More here on Kephart and his ties to the whole Agora Inc. – Lew Rockwell- Mises Institute world of Rothbardians.:

“He [Kephart] was a publisher of Human Events and an early supporter of Laissez Faire Books, the world’s largest publisher of books on libertarian topics. He founded Libertarian Review magazine and Books for Libertarians in the 1970s, influencing thousands of young people who became advocates of a free society. He was dedicated to the cause of liberty.”

Laissex-faire books is now owned by Agora Inc.  and it employs former Mises scholar Jeffrey Tucker and Independent Institute scholar Wendy McElroy, both also Rothbardians from a long while back.

Kephart’s father Calvin Ira Kephart was a Southern historian, reportedly of a racist bent.

Calvin Kephart is described as a fierce opponent of the civil rights movement, an opponent of racial integration, a believer in the superiority and inferiority of races and a deep believer in eugenics.

He spent a lot of time tracing his aristocratic lineage.

Son Bob, a US naval commander, was a close friend of Rothbard himself, as well as of Lew Rockwell and of leading figures in the libertarian and hard money community,  and  John Pugsley of Agora Inc’s, Sovereign Society.

Bill Bonner, owner of Agora Inc. was a close friend of Kephart and called him the father of the newsletter business.

More specifically, this is how Kephart ties in to the libertarian movement:

First, Kephart was influential in the survivalist community,  a fringe but important part of modern American anti-state thinking.

Survivalists have had their share of intelligence infiltration. A prominent survivalist, Joel Skousen, is the older brother of Mark Skousen, who is closely associated with Agora Inc. and was himself once on the CIA payroll.

Joel Skousen was formerly in the US air-force and has been an editor of various Conservative magazines. One can only speculate how free of Agency influence he could be, especially since the Skousens are  nephews of Cleon Skousen, a conservative commentator and a racist/racialist historian who was for several years a  senior FBI agent.

Interestingly, Joel Skousen was originally a Romney supporter but later switched his support to Ron Paul.

Second. Another nexus of the libertarian movement with intelligence is through Ron Paul, also a Kephart associate.

Paul has a long-standing association with Agora Inc., which published and promoted his newsletters for decades. This, rather than the over-blown “racist” news-letter business is the real untold story, since Agora Inc. has multiple ties to intelligence and intelligence-related stock operations.

Third. Kephart was also the editor of The Libertarian Review and played a prominent role in the development of American libertarianism as a movement, though he kept in the background (maybe because of his role as an informant).

A short list of the outfits to which he “provided guidance” (as a CIA informant) include:

“For many years he has generously provided guidance and funding for a long list of organizations, including Families Against Mandatory Minimums, Forfeiture Endangers American Rights, Human Rights Watch, Institute for Justice, National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, Post-Conviction Relief, and the American Civil Liberties Union. He has also been a benefactor to organizations working for economic liberty and general restrictions on government power. These include the Foundation for Economic Education, Cato Institute, Future of Freedom Foundation, R.A. Childs Fund for Independent Scholars, and Separation of School and State Alliance.”

Many of these outfits have played a large role in promoting both Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, to the consternation of independent bloggers and activists, who have long since concluded that the two are intelligence-related operatives.

Let’s just say the CIA continues to “give guidance.”

A fourth point tying Kephart to the New World Order, with its British Israelite and masonic underpinnings, is his father.

(Correction: While he did write a history of masonry, he seems to have repudiated British Israelism. He was also an isolationist on WW2, from what I’ve read. It’s also fair to note that eugenics was advocated by many intellectuals, right and left, from Yeats to the Fabians. And, finally, Kephart’s racial notions cannot, of course, be judged by the standards of today. They were widely held).

Calvin Ira Kephart, was, as I said earlier in this blog post, a scientific racist, a Southern historian and anthropologist of race who was a passionate advocate of eugenics to create a master race and  euthanasia for the mentally handicapped or otherwise “defective.”

He opposed the civil rights movement and wanted blacks shipped backed to Africa. He was also, fascinatingly,  a masonic historian.

That’s the toxic environment from which the god-father of the libertarian movement developed:

“By 1932 Kephart had begun this research, which culminated in his lengthy book,Races of Mankind: Their Origin and Migration , published in 1960 by the Philosophical Library in New York.In this work Kephart claimed to have written the definitive “ethnographic” book on the development of “advanced and retarded races.” The collection also includes advertisements for this book as well as his Concise History of Freemasonry (1964); his short pamphlets TrueChristianity andOrigin of the Name “Russia”; an article in support of eugenics, entitled “World Population Explosion”; a few reviews of his books and articles; and nine letters to the editor from 1961 to 1968, seven published in the Evening Capital of Annapolis Maryland. In most of these letters and other writings Kephart expressed his extreme right-wing views—his fierce opposition to racial integration and the civil rights movement; support for the repatriation of African-Americans to Africa; and advocacy of the forced sterilization of the insane, the mentally retarded, prisoners, prostitutes, and women who had one or more illegitimate children.”

This doesn’t mean, of course, that Bob Kephart himself believed any of his father’s theories.

But it should make anyone who finds some echoes of this kind of thing in Rothbard’s writing or his promotion of the theories of Charles Murray look very closely at the assumptions and consequences of this “anarchist” way of thinking.

To what does it really tend?

What might be the underlying agenda of anti-state capitalism which has the benediction of a CIA informant?

What might it mean that that informant was the son of a genuine scientific racist and eugenicist, not just someone exercising his first amendment right to mouth rude epithets on the fringes, but someone whose thinking was no different from that of any Nazi theorist.

Final point.

Bob Kephart also came together in the 1970s with Murray Rothbard and two individuals who have been separately linked to intelligence themselves:

1. Noam Chomsky (alleged by John Coleman and other journalists to be deep-cover CIA)

2. James Dale Davidson,  founder of Agora Inc., and founder of the anti-tax National Tax-payer’s Union,  who is alleged to have been involved in intelligence-related stock-pumping, from several accounts.

He is linked to Rothschild journalist Rees-Mogg, also of Agora Inc.

NWO Psyop? Reserve Bank Governor affirms Indian citizenship

Posted on by

Update:

On looking through the website from which I got the information about the new RBI governor,  I began to have a few second thoughts. Although, it appears to be an anti-NWO website, some of  the information on it (besides the story about Rajan)  seems baseless or exaggerated.

I don’t know enough to say, but caveat lector.

ORIGINAL POST

I posted earlier that the new governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan, has been described by the English language media itself as an Indian and US national, and asked how that could be, as India doesn’t allow dual citizenship.

On October 29 Rajan came out clearly with a statement that he was and is an Indian citizen and only holds a US Green Card (work and permanent residence permit).

That was in The Hindu, which I’ve said before, has been very left-leaning and sympathetic to globalism, both under the chief editorship of N. Ram and under ex-editor,  Siddharth Varadarajan, brother of Tunku Varadarajan, contributing editor at the Wall Street Journal and vocal neocon.

Now, notice the comments under The Hindu piece, attacking those media outlets that raised the question of Rajan’s nationality.

The idea is that any criticism of Rajan must come from the BJP and anti-foreign xenophobes. They are dismissed as paranoid because they jumped to the conclusion that Rajan was a US citizen when he clearly wasn’t.

The implication is that everything else the BJP claims – including conspiracies about the globalists –  must be nonsense too.

Well, BJP or not,  Rajan’s citizenship is a very legitimate issue to raise, especially, as it was the Rothschild media that put out that information in the first place.

Let me show you.

Go back to my earlier blog post.

The piece I posted before linked to an anti-NWO blog,  GreatGameIndia.wordpress.com. The graphic accompanying the post clearly described Rajan as an Indian and an American national.

That makes it a legitimate question for people to raise.

Take a look at the graphic here:

http://greatgameindia.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/raghuram-rajan-new-world-order.jpg

It was taken from The New Indian Express:

http://newindianexpress.com/business/news/Rajan-says-RBI-governorship-not-meant-to-win-Facebook-likes/2013/09/05/article1769127.ece

Since the globalists (British imperialists) like to leave their signature on their capers, they also had Rajan quoting Kipling (the premier poet of the British Empire):

“But I hope to do the right thing, no matter what the criticism, even while looking to learn from the criticism,” Rajan said.

“Rudyard Kipling put it better when he mused about the requirements of an ideal central banker in his poem ‘If’: If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: Kipling’s reference to “men” only dates these lines, but his words are clear.”

Check out the picture in the New Indian Express, which is the one carried at GreatGameIndia.

It clearly carries a description of Rajan as an American national. It also carries the logo PTI on the side of the picture.

That’s the Press Trust of India.

Now, what is the Press Trust of India?

It’s board of directors is comprised of editors of some of the leading publications in India, including The Hindu.

Here is a list of everyone on the Board, taken from the PTI’s own website (my descriptions are colored and in caps):

Mr K N Shanth Kumar     Chairman (The Printers,Mysore)

PUBLISHER OF THE DECCAN HERALD,  SOUTH INDIA, ENGLISH

Mr Mahendra Mohan Gupta    Vice Chairman (The Jagran)

DELHI  E-PAPER – HINDI

Mr R Lakshmipathy     Dinamalar

TAMIL NADU, SOUTH INDIA,  TAMIL

Mr Vineet Jain    Bennett, Coleman & Co Ltd

INDIA’S LARGEST PRESS CONGLOMERATE, OWNS THE TIMES GROUP, WHICH INCLUDES THE FLAGSHIP, “TIMES OF INDIA” PAPER; FORMERLY, FOREIGN-OWNED

(ENGLISH)

Mr M P Veerendra Kumar    Mathrubhumi

KERALA,  SOUTH INDIA  – MALAYALAM

Mr Sanjoy Narayan    Hindustan Times

NATIONAL PAPER – ENGLISH

Mr N Ravi    The Hindu

NATIONAL, TAMIL NADU, SOUTH INDIA, ENGLISH

Mr Riyad Mathew    Malayala Manorama

KERALA – SOUTH INDIA –  MALAYALAM

Mr Aveek Kumar Sarkar    Ananda Bazar Patrika

NATIONAL – HINDI

Mr Shekhar Gupta    Indian Express

NATIONAL, SOUTH INDIA – ENGLISH

Mr Hormusji N Cama    Bombay Samachar

BOMBAY –  PARSI (PARSIS HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN AFFILIATED WITH THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND THE ROTHSCHILDS)

Mr Vijay Kumar Chopra    Hind Samachar

NORTH INDIA – HINDI

Mr S P Bharucha    Former Chief Justice of India

Mr Fali S Nariman    Legal Luminary

Prof E V Chitnis    Scientist

So,  The Hindu’s editor and a dozen other leading press men are on the board of directors of the very outfit that put out the information that Rajan was an American national (which means citizen).

And what is the rest of the board like?

Out of 12 newspapers or media outfits represented there, fully SIX are based in South India, and all six belong to just two states in the South (Kerala and Tamil Nadu).

Both states are closely tied to the West

1. Through ideology – communist Kerala and corporatist Tamil Nadu

2. Through history – British intervention in South Indian secessionist movements

3. Through the English language – more prevalent in the South than in the North

4. Through finance –  especially in Chennai and Bangalore, the site of massive Western investment

5. Through religion – the church and church related organizations are both wealthy and powerful in Kerala and in Tamil Nadu.

Six newspapers from two states, while the rest of India’s 28 states are represented by one Delhi urban  paper and one Bombay paper run by a Parsi (Parsis as a community have historically been affiliated with the British empire); one international outfit (Bennett Coleman); and just TWO Hindi papers.

The weighting toward Tamil Nadu, the home of the globalist-funded Afro-Dravidian secessionist movement, is striking, and it bolsters Rajiva Malhotra’s thesis in “Breaking India.”

After the issue was raised by politicians, Rajan gave an interview in The Hindu (owned by the same N. Ram on the PTI’s board) affirming that he wasn’t an American citizen.

Comments from readers at The Hindu (and you know how they can be manipulated) claim it’s the paranoia, incompetence, and bigotry of the right-wing BJP that’s behind the whole issue.

So how could the  Press Trust of India be associated with any kind of globalist agenda?

Isn’t it just a national outfit?

Back to Wikipedia:

“It [PTI] exchanges information with several other news agencies including 100 news agencies based outside India, such as Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, The New York Times and Bloomberg L.P.. Major Indian subscribers of PTI include The Hindu, Times of India, the Indian Express, the Hindustan Times, the All India Radio and Doordarshan. PTI has offices in Bangkok, Beijing, Colombo, Dubai, Islamabad, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow, New York and Washington D.C..[3]

In other words, PTI has a  thoroughly global network, with a distinctly international point of view, at the very least. At worst, it’s a regional mouthpiece for the “international community.”

Whichever the case,  PTI is hardly a disinterested vendor of “news.” After all, what is deemed to be news is, in the first place, a very value-laden and political choice.

More from Wikipedia:

“PTI correspondents are also based in leading capitals and important business and administrative centres around the world. It also has exchange arrangements with several foreign news agencies to magnify its global news footprint.”

In other words, PTI is in business with foreign news agencies, which are, as anti-NWO activists have shown, owned by a small group of Anglo-Zionist business interests, just six companies, in fact.

These are the six, with their most notable properties:

1. General Electric  or GE (owns Universal Pictures, Focus Features)

2. Viacom (owns MTV, NICK JR, BET, CMT, Paramount Pictures)

Majority owner – Sumner Redstone (born Sumner Murray Rothstein)

Wikipedia:

“Viacom is one of the companies that uses the services of Wiki-PR, a public relations firm specialized in editing of Wikipedia that is accused of subverting Wikipedia content for business interest.[27]”

3. Disney (owns ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Miramax, Marvel Studios)

Disney is publicly owned and its CEO was until recently Michael Eisner.

4. Time Warner (owns HBO, Time, Warner Bros, CNN)

Owned by Edgar Bronfman, who until recently (2011) was the CEO.

5. Columbia Broadcast Corporation or CBS (owns Jeopardy, Sixty Minutes, NFL.com (National Football League), Smithsonian Channel, Showtime, Simon & Schuster)

Majority owner – Sumner Rothstein

6. News Corp (owns Fox, Wall Street Journal, New York Post, The Sunday Times, Times Literary Supplement, Dow Jones & Co., HarperCollins)

Created and owned by Rupert Murdoch, in 2012 turned into publicly traded companies, with Murdoch as CEO and with controlling shares.

News Corp owns the top newspapers on three continents (including but not limited to The Wall Street Journal in the US, The Sun in the UK, and The Australian, in Oz.

The 232 executives at these companies control the views of about 277 million people in the US alone, not to mention their enormous influence over the world.

In addition, there are powerful single individuals like Samuel Newhouse, who owns 2 dozen daily newspapers, the publishing companies like Random House, Knopf, Crown, Ballantine, and the Conde Nast group of magazines (including Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ, The New Yorker)

The de facto ownership of almost all of these media conglomerates is, at the risk of coming across as anti-Semitic, Jewish and Zionist.

Murdoch, as is well-known, rose to his position with help from the Rothschilds.

[Bronfman has Rothschild ties

The Bronfman family is very active in Zionist causes:

“”The Bronfmans still move in an elegant world where the fabulously rich mingle with the powerful and famous. Edgar Jr.’s aunt Minda married a French banker with Rothschild ties and became a baroness. His father belongs to that small circle of New Yorkers who can get Presidents to answer their telephone calls. Edgar Jr.’s friends include the director Steven Spielberg and Senator Thomas Daschle.

One of the reasons the Bronfman dynasty has retained a glittering aura is that family members, though rich, have never been content to sit on their wealth and watch the world from afar. Edgar Sr. became president of the World Jewish Congress and exposed former United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim’s Nazi past. His brother, Charles, is one of the founders of Birthright Israel, which pays for young Jewish people to visit the country. Now, however, the family may have to scale back its philanthropic endeavors because of what happened to Vivendi. “It hasn’t [affected my charitable giving] yet,” says Edgar Sr. darkly, “but it will.”

Every one of these media conglomerates is thus ultimately associated with the Rothschild (imperial British) entity.

Do you suppose PTI, alone among major international media,  defies the diktat of the press barons of the world? I don’t think so.

Not only that, PTI has its own satellite network according to Wikipedia:

“Press Trust of India is the only news agency in South Asia which operates its own communication satellite , an INSAT , to broadcast news and information.”

So PTI is not just a national outfit. It is a powerful international news outfit, the post-Independence heir to the Rothschild media in India. It has a bevy of Indian editors on board, with a heavy concentration from South India (the locus of foreign investment, as well as of foreign intervention), with strong business ties with the international (that is, Rothschild) press; it has its own satellite network.

Any chance PTI is NOT a globalist mouthpiece?

I’d say none whatsoever.

Now, who is the chairman of PTI?

Wikipedia again:

I”ts current chairman is R Lakshmipathy.“

An Economic Times piece describes R. Lakshmipathy, as the publisher of the Tamil daily, Dinamalar, and twice earlier the chairman of PTI.

The chairman before him was M. P. Veerendrakumar, also from a southern state, this time,  Kerala (Matrubhoomi newspaper).

There’s yet another South Indian connection.

All these Tamil papers are strongly supportive of Tamil secession.

Vice chairman Shankthakumar also represents the south, in his case, the Deccan Herald and some Kannada papers.

So PTI is tremendously slanted toward the south and to corporate investment (Chennai and Bangalore).

Tamil Nadu, as I’ve said repeatedly, is the locus for the globalist intervention intended to fracture India. Whatever one thinks of secession, it must be voluntary, not covertly manufactured by people with their own agenda.

Otherwise, its proper name is manipulation and aggression.

Given all this, is the Rajan story just an innocent blunder by the media?

No. To me it looks like a Rothschild psyop intended to discredit any criticism of Rajan as Hindu fundamentalist obfuscation.

The story looks just like the Obama birth certificate story, where the object of the media psyop was to discredit anyone who “fell” for the word of a  racist sheriff, deliberately inserted into public debate by the major media.

[Another example of this kind of media psyop was the Trayvon Martin business, where dozens of libertarian and conservative sites rose to the bait and looked like racists as a result. Of course, a few of them really are, but that’s another story.]

Pope Francis: Nightmare for Catholics?

Posted on by

Note: No offense intended to Catholics or Jesuits.

At Slate Michael Dougherty, national correspondent for The American Conservative writes:

“But the other way to look at the dawn of this papacy is that it is one more in the pile of recent Catholic novelties and mediocrities. He is the first Latin American pope, the first Jesuit to be pope, and the first to take the name Francis. And so he falls in line with the larger era of the church in the past 50 years which has been defined by ill-considered experimentation: a “pastoral” ecumenical council at Vatican II, a new synthetic vernacular liturgy, the hasty revision of the rules for almost all religious orders within the church, the dramatic gestures and “saint factory” of Pope John Paul II’s papacy, along with the surprise resignation of Benedict XVI. In this vision, Benedict’s papacy, which focused on “continuity,” seems like the exception to an epoch of stunning and unsettling change, which—as we know—usually heralds collapse.

There are reasons to believe that Pope Francis is a transitional figure, unlikely to effect major reform at the top of the church. He is not known as a champion of any theological vision, traditional or modern. He is just two years younger than Pope Benedict was upon his election eight years ago. He has deep connections to Italy, but little experience with the workings of the Vatican offices. A contentious reading of Pope Francis’ rise is that Benedict’s enemies have triumphed completely. It is unusual for a one-time rival in a previous election to triumph in a future one. And there is almost no path to Bergoglio’s election without support from curial Italians, combined with a Latin American bloc. Low-level conspiracy theories already flourish in Italy that Benedict’s resignation was the result of a curia determined to undermine his reforms. This election will only intensify that speculation. An older pope who does not know which curial offices and officers need the ax, will be even easier to ignore than Benedict.

Besides his lack of knowledge of the ins and outs of the Vatican, there is almost no evidence of him taking a tough line with anyone in his own diocese. Are we to believe that Buenos Aires has been spared the moral rot and corruption found almost everywhere else in the Catholic clergy? Or, more likely, do we have another Cardinal who looked the other way, and studiously avoided confrontation with the “filth” in the church, no matter the danger to children or to the cause of the church?  Presumption and detraction are sins, but Catholics should gird themselves; the sudden spotlight on his reign may reveal scandal and negligence.”

Comment:

Meanwhile, at ibtimes.com, Conor Adams Sheets noted the following, just before Francis’ accession:

“Even an opinion writer for Pravda, a communist newspaper in Russia, discussed such beliefs two days after Pope Benedict made the unexpected announcement:

“Last night, a lightning stroke [sic] a dome in the city of the Vatican,” he wrote, referencing a widely circulated image showing the freak natural occurrence. “Was it a plot of Haarp program or a sign of an angry sky? Of course, it could be considered as a sign of the Illuminati, one day after the pope’s resignation, which has despaired many of the traditionalist Catholics who believed in him as their last chance.”

Haarp is the acronym for the High Frequency Active Auroral Program, an Alaska-based program funded by the United States military, the University of Alaska and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. It has been invoked in a number of wild conspiracy theories, and the Pravda writer, Nicolas Bonnal, invoked the program’s name in the same breath as his mention of the Illuminati, pointing to the wide range of rumors that have plagued the Catholic Church since Pope Benedict declared that he would be resigning from the papacy.

A variety of conspiracy theories about the Catholic Church gained international attention when author Dan Brown’s popular novels, including 2003 best-seller “The DaVinci Code,” discussed a number of conspiracy theories about the founding of Christianity and the history of Catholicism, including the concept that there was a fight between the shadowy Priory of Sion and Opus Dei groups over the possibility that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene.

The popular books include repeated references to — and symbols of — leading conspiracies about the church, drawing from rumors about the Knights of the Templar, pentacles, Satanism, the legend of the Holy Grail and more.”

Miriam Carey: Was she a threat to the government (Updated)

Posted on by

Update 9: I just checked American Everyman, the blog run by Scott Creighton, which was excellent in deconstructing the Snowden business, and I notice that he is also certain that that Infiniti was NOT damaged in the photos.

He links to an earlier post of his that turns out to have analyzed exactly the same map in the NY Daily too.

I guess there were only so many sources to go to and we both reached the same conclusion. The “ramming” story is a bit of a crock, with the caveat that some video in the future might show it. So far, though, no cigar.

Sigh. I could have saved myself a lot of work over the weekend.

In any case, I suppose it’s good that the video footage be reviewed from as many different angles as possible.

I’m linking his analysis here.

Update 8: An anonymous poster at the CBS website claims that the chase began not from Penn. and 15th or E and 15th (in some accounts), but from East Executive and Alexander Hamilton Place, NW.

Looking it up, I find a guide to White House tours on a congressman’s website that lists the usual entry point for guests:

Tour instructions: Groups should enter the White House complex at the corner of 15th Street and Alexander Hamilton Place. Uniformed National Park Service Rangers are posted to assist groups as they arrive.

So it was normal for visitors to go to this area (all 3 locations are close to each other) if they wanted to visit the White House. There was no reason to find Carey suspicious just because she was there. On that day, of course, the area might have been cordoned off, because of the drill, or for some other reason. But surely an out of state visitor (and her tags would have shown she was out of state) couldn’t possibly be expected to know about that.

So the paranoia and aggression displayed by the police can’t be excused.

Unless, of course, the police were under the impression that  DRILL  was under way and Miriam Carey was part of it…

Update 7:

Whoa. Look at this:

“Ruwe was acting as the Incident Commander and worked with the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, II Marine Expeditionary Force, during the opening day of Capital Shield 14, at the Lorton Va., emergency training site, Sept. 30.

Lorton was the site where Aaron Alexis,  the Navy Yard shooter, bought his gun.]

More than 38 participating agencies from DOD and capital region response agencies performed mock mass casualty rescues, defense support to civil agency technical rescues and law enforcement tactical responses.”

So convenient. A young mother who never said anything about going to DC, suddenly shows up 270 miles away from where she’s supposed to be, on the final day of an emergency drill coordinated by 38 agencies from the DOD, and ends up being shot.

Here’s another thought.

Did Carey’s baby, Erica, the one who is so cool while being handled by strangers, after she just saw her mother shot to death by multiple bullets, after a high-speed chase involving at least five police cars, two injured officers, and three damaged vehicles, did Erica also just make those 270 miles with her mom the night before? If so, where did these two troopers stay?

Did they just camp out in the Infiniti? If so, that’s one heck of a tough kid….

Update 6: Looks like there was a drill going on at the time of Miriam Carey’s killing, Capital Shield 2014, according to the US Army website:

(hat-tip to Blacklisted News)

WASHINGTON (Oct. 1, 2013) — First responders in the National Capital Region need to keep their skills at a high level of proficiency. Participating in Capital Shield 14 is one of the methods they used to maintain their expertise.

Capital Shield 2014 is a joint training exercise in the National Capital Region, or NCR, that runs from Sept. 30 thru Oct. 3, and is hosted by the Joint Force Headquarters – National Capital Region. It brings federal, state, local and municipal agencies together to realistically test interagency operability during a crisis impacting the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland. It also trains and prepares the Department of Defense to provide defense support to civil authorities and employ appropriate force protection measures as requested.

“The importance of Capital Shield lies in the fact that emergencies are imminent,” said Cory R. Wright, JFHQ-NCR/MDW Capital Shield Exercise director. “They happen. When will they happen? We don’t know, but the importance of knowing who will respond and what their capabilities are can contribute to an emergency within the nation’s capital.”

Update 5: Michael Savage is rightly outraged. I understand cops might have been on high alert after the Navy Yard shooting two weeks ago (mid-September), but there’s nothing I can see here to make anyone figure Carey was a similar threat.

I’ve watched 3 different videos of this incident, several times each, and I routinely see people on the road driving in much more dangerous ways (heard of the game “chicken”?) than anything this poor woman did here.

Update 4:

Here is some video footage from the news outfit (Alhurra) referenced in the Time piece. The Time piece says that Carey’s Nissan Infiniti crashed into a police car.

Well, this particular Youtube video doesn’t show that, as far as I can see.

[Note: In the following passages I incorrectly describe the Alhurra footage as depicting the scene at the START of the chase. In reality, it’s from the middle of the chase, when the first shots were fired; it’s at Garfield Circle. I haven’t found any footage of the beginning of the chase at 15th St. and Penn Ave.]

In the opening shot, you can see the first incident that supposedly set off the police chase.

One poster at the CBS website has claimed that the real location is not 15th and E (or Pennsylvania Ave.:

“Note the diagonally placed buildings in the background, consistent with the scene being at East Executive and Alexander Hamilton Place, N.W.”

And it looks mighty strange to me.

There are 2-3 cops cars around Carey already as she drives up in a confused way to the barrier.

The cop cars look like they’re already boxing her in and she’s done nothing except wander into a place forbidden to the public.  Anyone can make that mistake.

Second point. She’s not driving fast at all, as the New York Daily News describes it:

“The drama began around 2:20 p.m., officials said, after Carey — driving a black Infiniti — sped into the driveway leading to the White House and tried to breach security at 15th St. and Pennsylvania Ave. NW, officials said.

Doesn’t look like speeding nor an attempt to breach security. Could just have been a mistake. She lost her way and bumped – or nearly bumped – into the barrier.

One more car seems to join the group as the incident develops. Looks like at least 4, if not 5, cars at the scene, when she takes off.

Then there’s a noise like someone hit something. It coincides with the police car on Carey’s left (viewer right) hitting the barricade with its bumper.

[Lila: OK. That’s when one police officer  got injured, when he bumped up against a barrier.]

The barricade looks like metal posts with nothing in between. I don’t see Carey or her car injuring anyone in this video either.

But the NY Daily News says this:

“Thwarted by the concrete barriers and confronted by cops with their guns drawn, Carey spun the car around and hit the gas — knocking a Secret Service agent over the hood of the car as she sped away.”

I didn’t see any of that in the Alhurra footage.

[Correction: I see now that the Alhurra footage is from the time she entered the Garfield Monument area and isn’t the start of the chase.

Then, Carey sets off with cops firing around her. There are 7 gun shots at this point, from the Alhurra video footage. I counted them and I heard one of the commentators on the videos (I forget which one) use that number too.

The New York Post reports that there were at least a dozen shots fired at her during the chase.

Not sure if they counted the ones at the Garfield Circle when they came up with the figure.

Finally, when the chase ends, in front of the Hart Senate building, there are multiple shots to her body.

The NY Daily News claims (below) that the first shooting took place at the Garfield Circle.

But if you watch the video, there were shots fired as soon as she took off from the barricade area, which I thought was at 15th Street and Pennsylvania Ave.

[Correction: The footage I saw was apparently from the Garfield Circle area and not from the start of the chase].

“At Garfield Circle, she raced through her first hail of bullets. At Constitution Ave. and Second St., she collided with a Capitol Police car and then barreled into some barricades outside the Hart Senate Office building.”

In this version, Carey is being reported as having hit a Capitol Police car AND the barricades. So she hit three things (two barricades and a police car) and there’s hardly visible damage on the bumper of her car. at the end of the chase. Mighty odd.

Update 3

The IJ (Independent Journal) Review has some graphics for the story (taken from the New York Daily News).

It looks like the Youtube video  I posted below (Update 2) only shows parts of the chase.

HER SPEED

Carey  might have been going slower in the video, but it’s possible she could have been doing 80 MPH when she was racing down Pennsylvania Ave to the Capitol.

A witness (NY Daily News) described the “screaming” of the car as it was chased by 3 police cars.

The video I posted before (update 2) looks to be from about the time she was driving around the Garfield Monument and was stopped. That was when the first round of shots were fired.

CRASHING THE BARRICADE

What’s interesting to me is that her Infiniti is supposed to have crashed into a barricade, setting off the chase, and then, been stopped by crashing into another barricade (in some accounts) or into a police car (in others) or into both (in another account).

But, the Infiniti, even at the end, looks quite intact. I thought I saw some slight damage around the left wheel, and of course, the pictures are not clear, but it’s not the kind of damage you’d get from ramming a barricade (or a car), while going at least 40 MPH….and possibly 80 MPH.

The hood of the car would have popped up with that impact and the child would have been squalling and agitated.

Instead, at least in the one photo two photos I saw, the child looks extremely composed.

There are many contradictions in the news reporting. Here’s one:

The New York Daily News, from where the map is taken in the IJ Review piece, claims that she crashed a second time into a police cruiser.

http://d1ovi2g6vebctw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/capitalcitymap.jpg

The Time reports that according to footage from Alhurra, she crashed into a secret service car guarding the Capitol.

That seems consistent with the damage on the side of the police car shown in the IJ Review piece.

But other articles say the second time she crashed, it was again, into a barricade.

But, whether into a barrier or into a police car,  the visible state of the Infiniti doesn’t seem to support the claim of a crash.

And while some pieces describes a “police cruiser” as having been damaged by crashing into a barrier,  the photo in the IJ Review shows a police car with extensive damage to the side.

It looks T-boned to me. How do you crash into a barrier from the side, like that? That’s not side-swipe damage. [Probably that’s the car she crashed into and the cruiser that crashed into the barrier is the one being shown in the Alhurra footage at Garfield Circle, where it bumps into a metal barrier.]

Finally, there’s another picture at the IJ Review of Erica, Carey’s 1-2 year old baby, being carried by a cop. She looks quite placid even there. She also looks much older than 1-2.  Reports about the age of the baby and when Carey got pregnant are also contradictory, although that’s too be expected in early reporting.

The New York Post says she was 2-3 (which is also what the family reported first):

“A child believed to be a girl about 2 or 3 years old was found unhurt in her black Infiniti sedan, which had Connecticut license plates.”

The child in the pictures I saw was not 1. It was more like 2 or 3.

The contradictions about the crash events themselves are less forgivable.

INJURED POLICEMEN

The New York Daily News also claims Carey injured two policemen.

Thwarted by the concrete barriers and confronted by cops with their guns drawn, Carey spun the car around and hit the gas — knocking a Secret Service agent over the hood of the car as she sped away.

The same piece describes the two injured officers as a Secret Service agent (perhaps the one above) and  Capitol Hill police officer (probably the one whose car got damaged).

Update 2 (October 6):

I watched the video of Miriam Carey on youtube.

From what I saw, it looks like

1. Her Nissan Infinity (the luxury end of Nissan’s offerings) was not damaged. The front bumper and license plate were intact. Even if she did bump into the barricade, she could not have done much damage, it seems to me. Much more likely, she got close, and then fled when she was surrounded.

2.  When she drives off and circles the area, she doesn’t seem to me to be driving carelessly. Her turns are not careening and wild, as they usually are in high-speed chases.

3. Everyone said she was doing 80 mph. But from what I saw, she wasn’t going that fast. Too fast for the neighborhood, but not that crazily fast. More like 40 mph 50 MPH.

4.  I didn’t see her ramming anyone else [the part where she evades the 5 officers in the beginning is obscured though), bearing down on any by-standers, returning gunfire, or in anyway threatening anyone else. I fail to see why she was treated as if she were committing vehicular homicide.

5. Why the macho response, with what looked like 5 policemen circling her with guns? Looks like she just drove into the wrong place. Do the cops shoot you for that?

6.  The cops materialized very fast. It definitely looked a bit staged to me. Of course, the family is said to have identified the body. But I truly wonder.

Possibilities: This was a bad bit of over-reaction from the cops, who are now in full CYA (cover your ass) mode…OR

It is some kind of staged event, some kind of learning moment that intelligence agencies have devised, perhaps to make maternity a psychiatric event, with a full panoply of therapy and drugs that will be introduced into some future health care program…..or, as I blogged before, to draw attention to electro-magnetic harassment.

OR

The woman was a known threat…someone who had to be eliminated for some reason…and was then framed as a psychotic. Perhaps that “stair-case fall” was not an accident, but a previous attempt on her life. That would be supported by her own fears of being stalked, her complaint that her car tires were slashed. Some neighbor is supposed to have said she always drove too fast. Again, this sounds very exculpatory for the cops. Could this convenient quote have been coerced or bribed out of someone? Or, had Carey panicked and raced away before, thinking she was being followed? Or, are the negative remarks evidence of some kind of concerted “group” harassment of her?

Hard to tell without much more information.

Update:

As I review what I’ve read, the only theory that covers all the facts so far is that Miriam Carey actually interacted with Obama and may have posed a threat to him – or to someone close to him.

That would account for her going to the White House. It would account for her so-called “fixation” with him and her fear he was stalking her. It would account for her sudden run of bad luck; it would account for the gang-stalking; it would account for the way her apartment was searched (with robots, in case there was a bomb there); it would account for her crying jags and depression.

It would explain why she had to be killed.

And, of course, there is not a shred of hard proof that she ever met him.

It is pure speculation on my part…..

ORIGINAL POST

Miriam Carey, the 34 year old dental hygienist who was killed by DC cops after she allegedly crashed her car into a barrier at the White House and then supposedly led a high-speed chase that injured police, is said to have been suffering from post-partum depression.

CORRECTION After reading the reports in detail and looking at video footage, I have to say the media is making a lot of incorrect claims. It’s not clear how “high-speed” the chase was. So far, I’ve seen the Infiniti doing about 50 MPH.

Carey doesn’t seem to have injured the policeman. He injured himself hitting a barrier (if that is the case). From the lack of damage to the front part of the Infiniti, even after the second crash, it doesn’t look as if she hit any barricades.

Anti-depressants were allegedly found by law enforcement at her Stamford Connecticut apartment, and her family has testified to her depression.

Stamford is a bedroom community for New York. Carey, born and raised in Brooklyn, where she lived from 1997 on, had moved to Stamford because rents were too high in New York.

She was fired from her job at Advanced Periodontics in August 2012, for “being too rough.”

Her former employer said she had a staircase fall in January 2012, and suffered head and neck injuries. That’s around the time she is said to have begun exhibiting symptoms of what reports are now alleging is post-partum depression.

Others report the fall as having taken place in April, 2012. She is said to have found out she was pregnant at the time.

Other issues: Carey is said to have been sued by her condo association for not having paid her dues.

“According to a report from the Associated Press, Carey stopped paying association dues on her Stamford, Connecticut, condo in August 2010 and was sued by the condo association in November last year for $1,759 in unpaid fees plus collection costs. The lawsuit was settled in February.”

She is reported to have been fired from her job because the handicap parking permit she got as a result of her injuries led to a fight with her employers.

“Carey worked as a dental hygienist in Hamden, Conn. until August 2012, according to NBC Connecticut. Her former boss, Dr. Barry Weiss, described her as “hot-tempered” but said “nothing in her behavior would have led us to think this would have happened.” Carey’s license to practice as a dental hygienist expired Thursday.

Dr. Brian Evans, who also oversaw Carey while she worked at the Hamden clinic, revealed she was hospitalized a few years ago. She “fell down some stairs and she had a pretty significant head injury,” Evans told the New York Daily News. As she recovered in the hospital, she discovered she was pregnant and “seemed happy,” he said.

Carey was ultimately fired from the practice in 2012, Dr. Weiss said, after “complaints about her from patients.”

Reports also allege that she claimed to the police that she was a prophet and that she knew that Barack Obama was stalking her electronically and would lock down Stamford because of her.

Coincidence One:

She has a sister, Valery Carey, who is an entrepreneur in the area of female hormones. Valery Carey’s outfit is called Time Of The Month (TOTM) – a reference to menstruation cycles.  Post-partum depression is part of TOTM’s agenda.

Valery Carey is a “community activist,” (shades of community organizer par excellence, Barack Obama) formerly with the NY police department. She notes the following on her Facebook page (italics are mine):

My partners along with the cofounders of 5Linx have donated over $57,000 to the Trayvon Martin Foundation. THIS is why I’m in Florida. — with Schmoll Reaves-Bey at Orange County Convention Center.

I have blogged about the Trayvon Martin case as an example of the kind of media-driven, racially polarizing public debate that is likely to have been contrived/fanned by the same elements that planned an Obama re-election campaign centered around race-baiting.

Valery Carey writes at her website:

“TOTM! Time Of The Month!® is not just a calendar planner to track your menstrual cycle. It’s a movement of female empowerment!”

Coincidence two:

The media is reporting that Carey thought she was being stalked by President Obama.

Her sister had apparently been involved with a group that once hosted President Obama.  There is a real chance that Miriam Carey met Obama in person.

If so, could there have been some kind of relationship?

That would account for many things in this strange story….

Coincidence three:

Carey lived in Stamford, Connecticut.

Newtown, Connecticut is the site of the Sandy Hook school shooting (Dec. 14, 2012), the second deadliest in US history.

Stamford is only 51 minutes from Newton, if I go by Google.

In January 2013, the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center, a notable hate-monitoring (and some would say, hate-purveying) site mentioned a Stamford  property as the target of a police investigation.

Bombs and racist propaganda had apparently been found.

The Anti-Defamation League devotes special attention to Stamford, as a hotbed of white racism (not just the KKK, but conservative groups), as well as of sovereign citizen and paramilitary groups.

Stamford even has a book written about it – “Rogue Town,” which describes its time as the headquarters of the Genovese and Gambino crime families during the 1970s and 1980s.

Supposedly, it was cleaned up in the 90s.

But how can we be sure? The Gambino and Genovese crime families are intimately connected to Wall Street and the stock market.

President Barack Obama, was, of course, the choice of the hedge-fund community.

Coincidence Four:

Like Aaron Alexis, the Navy Yard shooter of only two weeks ago (Sept 16, 2013), Carey claimed to have suffered electro-magnetic harassment.

Question one: Can we find out if Carey did meet Obama, at some point? Why did she think he was stalking her? Or is this “fact” just being put out by the media uncritically? Is there any other source for it besides the police and her boyfriend?

Carey’s business was also adversely affected by Obama’s health care policy initiatives.

Question two: Could her professional problems have made her more politically active than her friends think she was? Could her activism have led to her becoming a target?

Question three: How do we know that drugs were not planted in her apartment?

Question four: How do we know she wasn’t being gang-stalked? See this website about gangstalking.

The pseudonymous author of the website, Peacefrog, suggests, plausibly, that Carey was being gang-stalked by the Stamford police and that the media reports about her dispute with her neighbors, unflattering comments by neighbors, and her complaint that her tires were slashed in 2012, are all evidence of gang-stalking.

Several websites –  I can’t say how reliable –  specifically mention the Stamford police and gang-stalking. Frankly, her resume doesn’t sound like that of a delusional woman.

Even if she did suffer from some post-partum depression, it doesn’t follow that that was the cause of her belief that she was being stalked. Perhaps, instead, it was the stalking that caused her to fall into a depression in the first place.

5. Is this, like the Snowden “revelations,” some kind of government damage-control exposure, intended to let the public know that yes, electronic harassment and gang-stalking DO go on, while limiting the range of discussion and implicitly threatening/intimidating the public?

[Notice the violent, over-the-top law enforcement response; the innuendos about terrorism; the imputation of mental disorder to the dead woman.]

Woman killed by DC cops tied to pro-Obama elements

Posted on by

Daily Caller:

“Despite assertions by liberals that the problematic individual at the center of Thursday’s shooting episode was probably a tea partier, Carey was described as a “non-political person.” And her family doesn’t seem to be composed of Rush Limbaugh fans.

Carey’s sister Valarie Carey, a retired New York City police sergeant, is the founder of the menstural cycle-themed company TOTM! Time of the Month! and author of “the essential calendar planner for girls and women of all ages.”

Valarie Carey also hosts a radio show offering menstrual-cycle advice and expertise that has featured former WNBA legend Kym Hampton and other notable guests. Valarie Carey has appeared on the Lifetime network. She is on the board of Brooklyn CARES, a chapter of the National CARES Mentoring Movement founded by Susan Taylor, who co-hosted a 2009 Washington awards dinner featuring President Obama. Taylor also joined first lady Michelle Obama, Spike Lee, Magic Johnson, and others at a 2010 youth leadership event in Detroit.

Valarie Carey posted a message Thursday from her family’s attorney and spokesman on her Facebook page.

“Attention Media: I am representing the family of Miriam Carey, the woman involved in the DC shooting incident. From this point, please refrain from trying to contact the family and direct any inquiries to me. We will be giving an official statement in the near future,” wrote Eric Sanders, Esq.

Friends and family speculate that Carey thought President Obama was stalking her. As The Daily Caller’s Jim Treacher noted Friday, this is “probably because she saw his face wherever she went. Just like the rest of us.”

“The idea here is that if lots of people add suspicious words to their messages, the world’s intel agencies will be too busy with spurious input that they will have to give up reading it all.

Anyone who has read the source code of my homepage or Prayers Pay will see the list below with some additions here and there, You might want to sprinkle some of these words into your X-headers for a little fun. Most to nearly all of these words have been collected using open sources, (books, online, seminars, conventions, broadcasts, movies, etc…)But I am always looking for more. Mail me if you have any.
