This thread was created to help you identify new and ongoing criminal activities from FBI agents so you can stop it in its tracks.

We now know FBI agents created the 1st World Trade Center bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing and 911.
Why would taxpayer funded FBI agents engage in these activities?
1. With the fall of the the Berlin Wall/Communism there was no longer a illegitimate mandate for them to spy on Americans. The FBI needed a new boogeyman.
2. In the last ten years FBI agents have been identified as principal architects in the
assassination of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King.
3.Waco
4.Ruby Ridge
ad nauseum
We also know other groups of psychopaths were involved including members of the military who supplied the explosives in the Oklahoma City bombing and 911; CIA;
politicians; corporate leaders and foreign government/groups.This is just a partial listing. see: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/OK/PARTIN/ok8.htm

The San Fransisco Chronicle is part of the disinformation public relations firm for the FBI.
In the following article the FBI spin is we need more agents( one of the original reason FBI b agents helped create 911 et al) to insure their Congressional funding for the next three generations. The FBI organization mantra is adopted from the Native American saying "plan now so what you do effects the 7th generation of FBI agents".
In the article below there is a discussion of FBI agents shifted over to terrorism investigations and taken off investigating white collar crime We now know the FBI
were illegaly investigating 100,000 or more people with their criminal use of NSL
letters instead of investigating legitimate crime.

Since 9/11, FBI seeking fewer prosecutions

Ordinary criminal cases way down in 'triage' approach

Thousands of white-collar criminals are not being prosecuted in federal court -- and in many cases, not at all -- because of the Bush administration's restructuring of the FBI after the attacks of 9/11.

Five and a half years later, the White House and Justice Department have not replaced at least 2,400 agents shifted to counterterrorism work, leaving far fewer on the trail of identity thieves, con artists and other criminals.

Two successive attorneys general have rejected the FBI's pleas for reinforcements.

An analysis of more than a million cases touched by FBI agents and federal prosecutors before and after 9/11 found the number of criminal cases investigated by the FBI nationally has steadily declined. In 2005, the bureau brought 20,011 cases to federal prosecutors, compared with 30,485 in 2000 -- a 34 percent drop.

White-collar crime investigations by the bureau have plummeted. In 2005, the FBI reported 3,500 cases, compared with 10,411 in 2000. The FBI office covering coastal Northern California referred 124 white-collar crime cases to prosecutors in 2000, but just 70 in 2005, records show.

While other federal agencies have stepped in to cover more of the load in drug enforcement, in most cases local law enforcement agencies haven't been able to take up the slack.

As agents were shifted to counterterrorism after 9/11, FBI Director Robert Mueller was well aware of the consequences. Without more agents, there was no way to maintain the bureau's grip on its traditional list of crimes, particularly time-consuming fraud investigations.

Mueller asked for help from Attorney General John Ashcroft and his successor, Alberto Gonzales, but was rebuffed. "We were told to do more with less," said David Szady, a former FBI assistant director who retired last year as head of counterintelligence.

In 2005, the FBI sent a five-year strategic plan to the Justice Department that Szady called "the director's attempt to get this agency where it needed to be, including a robust criminal footprint. I know for a fact that the Justice Department beat that down."

That September, the Justice Department inspector general's office said 1,143 agents had been transferred from traditional crime programs and 1,279 more on the books as criminal program agents were being used on counterterrorism work. It concluded that the FBI "reduced its investigative efforts related to traditional crimes by more than 2,400 agents."

Over the past eight years, the ranks of FBI agents have increased 14 percent, to 12,575 from about 11,000, but almost all the increase has been for anti-terror duties, records show. Since 2001, the bureau has doubled its staff of intelligence officers, to more than 2,000.

The Justice Department, attorney general's office and White House Office of Management and Budget say traditional criminal enforcement by the FBI hasn't suffered. They say federal agencies work more efficiently to compensate for the emphasis on homeland security.

"The administration strongly disagrees that the FBI has been anything less than effective in the years since 9/11 in combatting domestic crime issues," Office of Management and Budget spokesman Sean Kevelighan said. "We have worked to achieve a balance between the FBI's homeland security and criminal investigative missions."

FBI Assistant Director Chip Burrus said, "We'll just abide by what the president's budget is. We work a lot smarter than we have in the past."

Mueller, Gonzales and Ashcroft declined to be interviewed.

Burrus acknowledged that the bureau has reduced its efforts to fight fraud, likening its current policies -- in which fraud losses below $150,000 have little chance of being addressed -- to "triage." Even cases with losses approaching $500,000 are much less likely to be accepted for investigation than before 9/11, he said.

There is "no question," he said, that America's financial losses from frauds below $150,000 amount to billions a year.

In San Francisco, officials at the U.S attorney's office and the FBI said in interviews Tuesday that they had not seen significant reductions in staffing or caseloads for white-collar crime.

"We continue to have a number of lawyers dedicated to doing white-collar prosecutions, and they're very busy," said Scott Schools, who was appointed interim U.S. attorney in San Francisco last month. Schools pointed to recent investigations into stock options backdating and into corruption by elected officials in the Bay Area.

"Terrorism is our No. 1 priority, but we are still deeply involved in investigating white-collar crimes," said Joseph Schadler, an FBI special agent. "It is not as high a priority as it once was, but I think that's reasonable."

Northern District Federal Public Defender Barry Portman said he has noticed a change "at the bottom. The low-rent cases are not being brought."

For instance, he said, tellers who steal from the banks where they work were prosecuted regularly in federal court until the past few years.

Portman said it was hard to measure the success of the national and local focus on preventing terrorism. Few cases have been brought in the Bay Area, and investigators won't talk about their work.

"The response has been, 'Trust us -- you haven't seen any planes hit towers in the last five years,' " Portman said.

Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., introduced legislation in February that calls for hiring 1,000 agents at a cost of $160 million a year.

"There's no doubt that fighting terrorism should be a top priority for the FBI, but we can't forget about the risk to our neighborhoods from everyday crime," Biden said.

Hard-pressed agents working white-collar crime now routinely urge banks or lawyers representing victims to do most of the investigating themselves. Even then, the FBI won't necessarily pursue criminal charges.

There are many reasons federal agents are better suited than local police to conduct complex fraud investigations.

The FBI has agents around the nation and the world to run down leads. Even if a local detective could get her chief to approve a trip across country, she has no jurisdiction in another state.

If agents need to subpoena business records, they simply call a federal prosecutor, who can get one easily. That's not true in many state jurisdictions, where it can take a couple of days for a prosecutor to prepare documentation and present it to a judge for a subpoena.

Federal agents have access to wiretaps; local officers often do not except in rare circumstances. Locals need a court order for a body wire; feds don't. FBI agents can record telephone calls if one party consents without going to a judge; locals can't.

And federal sentences for white-collar crimes are generally tougher than those meted out in state courts. So not only are fewer criminals convicted, but they also serve less time.

A few years ago, more than 1,000 people across the country invested roughly $70 million in a scam known as Resource Development International, led by two men who set up their headquarters in Tacoma, Wash.

Though victims in Washington urged the FBI to investigate, the two men didn't face federal charges -- or any criminal case -- in Washington.

The district attorney's office in Santa Clara County ended up taking on the case after an elderly victim in the San Jose area came forward. Deputy District Attorney Paul Colin prosecuted the kingpins, John and David Edwards, a father-and-son team who are now serving 27-year sentences in state prison, and two other men who sold the phony investments to people in California.

But scores of others involved in the scam haven't faced charges.

"If the feds had taken this on, it might have been caught sooner, and more of the people who assisted the Edwardses might have been brought to justice," Colin said. "These scams happen every day to the rich and the poor, and they should be a priority of law enforcement -- particularly at the federal level."

Ousting of Carol Lam should serve as a warning

It's becoming painfully obvious that for U.S. Attorney Carol Lam, whose office brought down U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, it wasn't just her record of prosecutions that led to her ouster but more whom she was prosecuting, and from which political party. 87 Comment(s)

California congressman opposes plan for big security training camp

By: ALLISON HOFFMAN - Associated Press

SAN DIEGO -- A major defense contractor's plan for a 700-acre training camp in Southern California is running into opposition from a local Democratic congressman who claims the company won initial approval by cozying up to local officials and keeping its plans from the public.

Blackwater USA wants to buy a defunct ranch in a rugged mountain valley about 45 miles east of San Diego. Chicken coops would be turned into firing ranges and augmented with a tactical driving track, a ship simulator, a rescue safety training tower and a helipad, according to company documents filed with San Diego County.

U.S. Rep. Bob Filner, who represents the area, said he was not contacted by company officials, who hired an influential San Diego lobbyist to introduce them to local officials with final say over the project. By the time he heard about it from constituents, he said, company officers were on friendly terms with county planners and a local planning board had voted unanimously to support the project.

The project still is two years away from final approval but Filner is exploring legislation that would block the deal pending further review by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has included Blackwater in its review of Iraq war contractors.

"They're under investigation in a couple different ways and I just want to make sure that, if there's something they're doing wrong, we need to know about it before they go further on this project," Filner said.

Blackwater executive vice president Bill Mathews said the company never meant to circumvent Filner. He said project managers initially contacted Republican U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, whose district borders the property and who until January was chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

"When we first started we were under the impression we were in Hunter's district, so we started with his office and worked our way down through to local elected officials," said Mathews, adding that his local staff has since reached out to Filner's office. "It was an honest mistake."

Staffers from Hunter's office attended a meeting with Blackwater officials and a county supervisor last May where the project was discussed. Hunter, bidding for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, supports Blackwater's plan, spokesman Joe Kasper said.

The facility, known as "Blackwater West," would offer five-day and two-week training courses in firearms and tactical training.

It's part of a broader expansion by the company. Earlier this month, the company welcomed the first class of trainees to its new 80-acre camp in Mount Carroll, Ill., known as "Blackwater North."

Company executives said they began scouting Southern California properties in late 2005 and chose the rural community of Potrero for its proximity to San Diego's naval and Marine Corps installations and array of federal law enforcement agencies -- including FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and Border Patrol.

Mathews said the company sees a need for outside training facilities to serve those and other law enforcement organizations.

The satellite facilities will not provide the intensive training offered at the company's 7,000-acre Moyock, N.C., headquarters for active-duty military personnel and civilians who are deployed to augment U.S. government operations, he said.

In a March 2006 speech in Amman, Jordan, Blackwater vice chairman Cofer Black said the decade-old company was interested in creating an army-for-hire to police hotspots such as the troubled Darfur region of Sudan using its 450 permanent employees and roster of independent contractors. Black was a former top counterterrorism official with the CIA and State Department before joining Blackwater.

Blackwater, which has received hundreds of millions of dollars worth of government contracts, has been a subject of congressional hearings. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., in February questioned Blackwater officials about whether the private company had provided sufficient equipment to its security guards before four of them were killed, burned and dragged through the streets of Fallujah in a gruesome 2004 incident that triggered a three-week U.S. offensive.

Company officials said they behaved responsibly in Iraq.

Fueling Democratic suspicions, the company's founder, Erik Prince, contributed $1,000 to Hunter in 2004 and tens of thousands more to other Republican candidates and committees. Blackwater was hired in Iraq as a subcontractor under KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton Co., the company once run by Vice President Dick Cheney.

To help with the California project, the company hired well-known San Diego lobbyist Nikki Clay, whose firm represents San Diego County.

"The credibility of the project goes up with Nikki Clay involved," said Phil Blair, a former San Diego city councilman.

In December, the Potrero planning board voted 7-0 to forward the proposal to the county for review. Local planning officials say the Blackwater facility is at least two years away from a vote by the county board of supervisors, who must decide whether to shift the land from agricultural zoning to commercial use.

Potential stumbling blocks include the site's proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border, wildfire risk, a concentration of Indian archaeological remains and an endangered golden eagle population that nests in the area.

Potrero residents appear split on the project.

Planning Board Chairman Gordon Hammers, a 69-year-old retiree who moved to the area 37 years ago to manage an electronics factory across the border in Tecate, Mexico, said it would provide an economic boost.

"Almost 400 people here in Potrero live in a mobile home park, and we want an economic engine out there to make the community more of a middle-class place," Hammers said.

Several dozen residents attended a county meeting earlier this month to voice dismay about the project, expressing classic not-in-my-backyard sentiments along with a deeper strain of ideological discomfort with Blackwater's mission.

"It started out as a quality-of-life issue," said Jan Hedlun, a new member of the planning board who opposes the facility but did not participate in the December vote. "But the more I've learned about them the more I don't want them for their principles."

Bush sends surveillance revamp to Congress

Associated Press, Wire services

April 14, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration asked Congress Friday to allow monitoring of more foreigners in the United States during intelligence investigations.

The plan is one of several proposed changes, which have been in the works for more than a year, that go to the heart of a key U.S. surveillance law.

The administration says the changes are intended to help the government better address national security threats by updating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to bring it into line with rapid changes in communications technology.

Civil liberties groups see the government's effort as a needless power grab.

The proposal would revise the way the government gets warrants from the secretive FISA court to investigate suspected terrorists, spies and other national security threats.

The administration wants to be able to monitor foreign nationals on American soil if they are thought to have significant intelligence information, but no known links to a foreign power. Under current law, the government must convince a FISA judge that an individual is an agent of a government, terror group or some other foreign adversary.

The administration also wants new provisions to ease surveillance of people suspected of spreading weapons of mass destruction internationally.

And the administration wants to allow government lawyers to decide whether a FISA court order is needed for electronic eavesdropping based on the target of the monitoring, not the mode of communication or the location where the surveillance is being conducted.

One effect of such a change: the National Security Agency would have the authority to monitor foreigners without seeking court approval, even if the surveillance is conducted by tapping phones and e-mail accounts in the United States.

Most often used by the FBI and the NSA, the 1978 FISA law has been updated several times since it was first passed, including in 2001 to allow government access to certain business records.

Among other tools available now, the government can break into homes, hotel rooms and cars to install hidden cameras and listening devices, as well as search drawers, luggage or hard drives.

President Bush has been under fire for his program allowing the NSA to monitor international calls and e-mails coming into the United States, when one party in the communication had suspected links to international terrorism. Earlier this year, Bush asked a federal court to oversee the operations, known as the terrorist surveillance program.

The Associated Press reported many of the bill's details earlier this week. Among other changes, the legislation would:

n Clarify the standards the FBI and NSA must use to get court orders for basic information about calls and e-mails - such as the number dialed, e-mail address, or time and date of the communications. Civil liberties advocates contend the change will make it too easy for the government to access this information.

n Triple the life span of a FISA warrant for a non-U.S. citizen from 120 days to one year, allowing the government to monitor much longer without checking back in with a judge. The Justice Department says this would allow the government to focus its resources on cases involving U.S. citizens because it wouldn't have to get as many time-consuming renewals on warrants for cases involving foreigners.

n Give telecommunications companies immunity from civil liability for their cooperation with any intelligence communications program, such as Bush's terrorist surveillance program. Pending lawsuits against companies including Verizon and AT&T allege they violated privacy laws by giving phone records to the NSA for the program.

n Extend from 72 hours to one week the amount of time the government can conduct surveillance without a court order in emergencies.

Lawyer outlines a broader conspiracy in search for FBI documents on Oklahoma City bombing

By Pamela Manson
The Salt Lake Tribune

Article Last Updated: 04/17/2007 01:15:58 AM MDT

A Utah attorney alleges informants gathering information on Timothy McVeigh or his associates warned the FBI about the plot to bomb the Oklahoma City federal building but the agency took no action to stop the 1995 attack.
    Jesse Trentadue also says there were others involved in carrying out the bombing besides McVeigh and Terry Nichols, despite investigators' conclusion that they were the only ones responsible for the crime.
    The allegations are made in a brief filed Monday in a lawsuit by Trentadue, who believes his brother s death in a federal prison was
    linked to the bombing. The suit, which seeks documents from the FBI under the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), alleges that
    authorities mistook Kenneth Trentadue for a bombing conspirator and guards killed him in an interrogation that got out of hand.
    Trentadue noted in his brief that on Thursday, it will be 12 years since 168 people died in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in downtown Oklahoma City.
    "It will also soon be twelve years since the murder of Kenneth Michael Trentadue, and three years since Plaintiff started out to
    obtain proof that his brother . . . became the 169th victim of the Bombing when he was tortured to obtain information he did not have
    and eventually was strangled with a pair of plastic

handcuffs," the lawyer wrote.
    The U.S. Attorney's Office in Utah, which represents the FBI, received a copy of the brief late Monday afternoon and was still reviewing it.
    The FBI could not be reached for immediate comment. However,agency officials previously have denied any advance notice of the
    plot or mishandling of the investigation into the bombing. They also adamantly deny any wrongdoing in Kenneth Trentadue's death, which was ruled a suicide after several investigations.
    In the brief, Trentadue contends he has documented that at least seven informants were involved with McVeigh and his associates. The informants were allegedly participating in sting operations targeting a white-supremacist compound in Oklahoma and a gang suspected of
    robbing banks to fund attacks on government buildings. McVeigh, who was executed in 2001, had links to both, Trentadue says.
    He alleges that the sting involving the white-supremacist compound a Christian Identity settlement in Adair County, Okla., called Elohim City was a joint operation by the FBI and the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization based in Alabama. He
    claims there is evidence that the SPLC, which heard about the impending attack from the informants, warned the FBI.
    SPLC director Mark Potok could not be reached Monday, but previously has said his group never had an informant or anyone else at the compound and did not know about the plot.
    Trentadue has asked U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball in Salt Lake
    City to allow him to conduct depositions of two men who likely know about the sting operations. They are Nichols, who is serving a life sentence for his part in the attack, and federal death row inmate David Paul Hammer, who was housed on the same prison tier as McVeigh for almost two years.
    Hammer spent much of that time "listening to McVeigh describe the
    bombing in minute detail, including the identities of others involved," according to the brief.
    Trentadue claims the depositions will prove that the FBI has failed to turn over all relevant documents.
    Lawyers for the FBI say the agency has made appropriate searches for documents requested by Trentadue. They also say judges in FOIA
    cases do not have the authority to order depositions.
    Kenneth Trentadue, who had served time for bank robbery, was arrested near San Diego in June 1995, two months after the bombing. He later was sent to the transfer center in Oklahoma City for an alleged parole violation.
    On Aug. 21, 1995, guards found Trentadue's blood-soaked body in his cell hanging from a noose made of torn bedsheets. Prison officials say the 44-year-old inmate committed suicide. However, the inmate's family insists that Trentadue was mistaken for John Doe No. 2, a suspect sought in connection with the bombing who turned out to be bank robber Richard Lee Guthrie.
    Jesse Trentadue claims his brother resembled Guthrie. Both men were about the same height and build, he says, and both had a tattoo of a dragon on the left arm. In addition, Kenneth Trentadue drove a Chevy pickup truck, the same kind of vehicle John Doe No. 2 was reported to be driving.
    Guthrie was eventually captured and struck a plea deal in 1996 on bank robbery charges. A few months later, he was found hanged in his
    cell in Kentucky in what was ruled a suicide.
    In Monday's filing, Trentadue includes a 2004 affidavit by former Cincinnati police Officer Matthew James Moning, who investigated
    suspected members of the Midwest Bank Robbery Gang from August 1993 to June 1994. Moning claims he was told by a Secret Service agent
    that Guthrie killed himself after being told "that he was going to be executed for his role in the Oklahoma City bombing case."
    Moning writes in the affidavit that he believes a third member of the gang, Shawn Kenny, and his wife, Tabitha Kenny, were government informants being paid "by the F.B.I. and Secret Service for God knows what.' "
    Other exhibits attached to Trentadue's motion include:
    A declaration dated April 9, 2007, by Peter Kevin Langan, who was convicted along with Guthrie and other members of the Midwest
    Bank Robbery Gang.
    Langan, currently an inmate in a federal prison in Illinois, claims he was coerced in 1993 into being an informant for the Secret
    Service. He claims that Guthrie told him that cohort Kevin McCarthy was John Doe No. 2 and then said, "Your young Mr. Wizard [Kevin
    McCarthy] took out the Murrah Building."
    McCarthy served five years in federal prison and was released on probation, according to law enforcement officials. His whereabouts are unknown.
    A 2004 letter from Nichols to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft offering to give information about other participants in the bombing.
    Nichols, who is housed in a federal penitentiary in Colorado, alleged that two witnesses at his state and federal murder trials lied with the knowledge of prosecutors. He said one witness, Arkansas gun dealer Roger Moore, obtained explosives for McVeigh.
    In an affidavit submitted in February as part of Trentadue's lawsuit, Nichols said Ashcroft never responded to this 2004 letter
    offering to identity all parties who had a role in the bombing.
    Drawings by Nichols showing three versions of the bomb that blew up the Murrah Building.
    One is the configuration that McVeigh allegedly described to the wife of Army friend Michael Fortier of Kingman, Ariz. Lori Fortier
    said McVeigh illustrated the V-shaped bomb at her home by using soup cans to represent barrels containing fertilizer.
    Another drawing is the configuration of the bomb that Nichols says he constructed with McVeigh the day before the attack, which also was barrels in the shape of a V, with bags of ammonium nitrate fertilizer soaked in fuel oil at the point.
    The third is a J-shaped pattern that McVeigh described in American Terrorist, an authorized book chronicling his life and the attack. In his February affidavit, Nichols said the book version was bigger than the one he built with McVeigh on April 18, 1995, and "displayed a level of expertise and sophistication which neither McVeigh nor I had
    in building a bomb."

Cle Sloan
Gang member and TV producer on fake gang crime numbers, the LAPD’s racist history, and cop crime

Illustration by Scott Gandell

“[Some cops] are as wild as us. In fact, I saw them today, talking shit, right before I got on the phone with you,” says Cle Sloan, a 20-year veteran of the Athens Park Bloods gang based in South Los Angeles. In his new HBO documentary, Bastards of the Party, Sloan – or “Bone,” as he’s known on the streets – traced more than six decades of African-American history in L.A. to figure out how the Black Power movement of the ’60s disintegrated into the brutal gang culture that’s gripped the city since the 1970s. He says he found a police department that instigates hostility, a federal government complicit in killing off a community’s better angels, and powers-that-be uninterested in long-term solutions. As Los Angeles kicks its latest anti-gang initiatives into high gear, he says the LAPD needs to take stock of its past and rethink its cowboy-style get-tough approach.

“What they don’t realize is they’re getting their next generation of enemies,” he says. “I’m hearing eight- and nine-year-old kids say, ‘Fuck the police.’ The police are perpetuating a whole new generation of kids who hate them.”

-- Mindy Farabee

CityBeat: In making your documentary, what did you learn about the genesis of African-American gangs in Los Angeles?

Cle Sloan: Out of the ashes of the Black Panther Party, Crips was born – Community Revolutionary Party Services, or the earliest term was Continuous Revolution in Progress. They wanted to continue the revolution. That was the beginnings of black gangs of that era. If you go back before the Crips and Bloods, all the way to the 1940s, the first gangs in South Central were white gangs called Spook Hunters. As a result of that, other gangs were born, black gangs – the Farmers, the Gladiators, the Slausons, the Businessmen.

At that time, blacks were coming from the South, the whole black migration to Los Angeles. When they got here they were faced with a bunch of racism, and most of the high schools were controlled by white gangs. You had black parents putting their kids into schools and integrating them, and that was when they met resistance from the Spook Hunters, and that led to black gangs being formed to fight off attacks by the white gangs. It was totally self-defense.

Then the whole political agenda came in in ’65, with the Civil Rights movement, the Black Liberation movement. Most of the gangs who were born out of the resistance to the Spook Hunters got politicized. A lot of Slausons went into the Black Panther Party, a lot of your Gladiators went into the Us Organization, [who were] cultural nationalists. You’ve got to understand, we had white flight at this time, too, so that’s how some of these gangs turned on each other – not killing each other, but they had a rivalry, with the whites leaving and blacks remaining as the dominant force in the area.

And you think it’s fair to say the LAPD and federal policies played a role in the Black Power movement devolving into what we think of as street gangs, correct?

From where I stand, the LAPD have always had a hand in this whole situation. I’m not crying victim or saying that’s why we’re banging, but they definitely have a hand in it. You can trace that back to the history of the LAPD; they were recruiting from the South straight to Los Angeles, because they had such an influx of blacks coming in from down South. They did a projection of how many blacks were going to be here by ’65 or ’67, and they felt they really needed to have a stronghold on the black population here. That’s probably the origin of a lot of the racism that’s part of the LAPD’s tradition.

The FBI also definitely had a hand in it. [Former FBI agent] Wes Swearingen explained to me that his job was to come in and neutralize and discredit black leaders. “Neutralize” means put in jail or even kill, and that wasn’t good enough. He said, “We had to discredit them, also.” That’s what the whole Bunchy Carter thing was about. He explained to me they were going to kill Bunchy [of the Black Panther Party] down in the Watts area and make it look like a drug deal gone bad, but some of the infiltrators jumped the gun. Bunchy was later killed up on the campus of UCLA, him and [fellow Panther] John Huggins, but the original hit was going to go down in Watts and they were going to leave drugs around.

That was one of the smoking guns for me, and really confirmation of some of the dirty tricks the LAPD as well as the government was doing.

Do you think we can we have a discussion about new anti-gang initiatives without looking at their historical context?

I don’t think so, because this thing is about criticism and self-criticism. We all played a part in this. I tell people, “Imagine what would have happened if they’d left things in place?” Most of your baby Panthers ended up being baby Crips. They wanted to politicize the community, but that movement was killed. We’re not just a bunch of dysfunctional guys who can’t get themselves together. There’s a reason this has been able to parlay from generation to generation.

For me, if you look at it, millions of dollars have been coming into L.A. to stop the gang violence since the ’70s. But the more money comes in, banging gets worse and worse. For me, it’s the new shakedown. Of course they don’t want to talk about prevention, they want to talk about human storage, about locking guys up. But you can’t prosecute yourself out of this problem. They’ve been trying for years, and it’s not going to work this time, either.

One criticism of the war on drugs is that it presents a financial incentive for police departments to overstate their drug problem as a way to up their budgets. Do you believe gangs are used here in a similar way?

Absolutely. We’re always the hot political ticket here in L.A. We get people elected, we get their budgets broadened every year. But I think now there’s so much money coming down, all these agencies are putting their proposals in because they want a piece of that pie. There is no way [gang violence is] as bad as it was five years ago. The way they’re painting it is just not an accurate picture of what’s going on in the street. If you look at the numbers, they don’t even add up. When they came out with that Top 11 gang list, they said these guys are responsible for six percent of the crime. Six percent? And you’re telling me you need all this money and all this police force for guys who represent six percent of the crime? They also said crime was down, but gang violence was up 41 percent. I know for a fact our numbers are dwindling, our power source is dwindling. In 2004, gang homicides were down; in 2005, gang homicides were down; in 2006, gang homicides were down. Whether that’s by some of the things we’re doing ourselves or stuff LAPD has been doing, whatever the combo is, it’s been a steady decline.

In your film, you talk about anti-gang propaganda the city has put out. What propaganda have you personally witnessed?

The LAPD has committed crimes in gang members’ names, no doubt about it. I can’t prove it, but I know it from the guys I’ve talked to, things I’ve seen, even things the police have admitted to me. They cross out other people’s graffiti; they drop guys off in other neighborhoods – they’ve cuffed me up and taken me to a Crip neighborhood, and said, “We’re going to drop you off here.” They do it in the county jail. They’ll leave a cell of Bloods unlocked and put everyone in the same corridor and take bets on who’s going to win, who’s going to survive. They deface a mural or memorial setting and make it look like other gang’s members did it.

That happens all the time down here. But our cries and our complaints go on deaf ears because of our credibility. We have records; no one believes us.

Wiretapping Woes

By Sandra Upson

Trouble ahead for those wanting to monitor Internet-based calls

Brian Stauffer

The telecommunications world was a much simpler place in 1994, when the U.S. Congress passed a landmark wiretapping law. At the time, the statute was meant to take advantage of the new fact that instead of doing wiretaps the old-fashioned way—by walking into a local phone company office with a warrant and some alligator clips—law enforcement officers now could conduct a wiretap centrally on a carrier's network by duplicating a phone call digitally and directing the copy to police headquarters.

Starting on 14 May, the 1994 law, the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), will also apply to some voice over Internet Protocol providers, and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has asked that it eventually be extended to all Internet-based communications. The wiretapping statute was originally designed for traditional telephone companies, which use circuit switching to create a dedicated channel for each phone call. But today, using Internet telephony, almost anyone can be a telecommunications carrier, including Google, Skype, Vonage, and Yahoo, to name just four companies that didn't exist in 1994.

Internet telephony involves turning phone calls into two-way streams of data chopped up into small data packets, which, after traveling separately to their destinations, are reassembled in their original order. "Interconnected" VoIP providers—the specific group now affected by CALEA—have the ability to route calls over the traditional telephone network, even if only some calls end up traveling that way.

In order to have that capability, an interconnected provider like Vonage has to route all calls through servers it maintains, regardless of whether the destination is a traditional or an IP phone. Those servers provide a location for a tap. On the other hand, with peer-to-peer VoIP services such as Skype, voice packets are mingled with all other Internet traffic and don't necessarily pass through the company's servers.

According to a spokesperson at the Federal Communications Commission, no VoIP provider has filed for an extension on the deadline—meaning that they all expect to be in compliance by mid-May. Vonage, however, is still testing its wiretapping method and won't provide details, according to its vice president for emergency and law enforcement services, Lynne Fleck. The Baller-Herbst Law Group, a Washington, D.C.—based firm, has estimated that implementation of the CALEA requirement could cost each provider up to US $150 000.

But the bigger issues are just down the road.

Last year, the FBI let it be known on Capitol Hill that it would like to extend CALEA to virtually any Internet-based application that allows two people to communicate. Naturally, as VoIP becomes ubiquitous, law enforcement would like to maintain the ability to wiretap. Consumers continue to switch in growing numbers to VoIP services like Skype, and leading companies like Microsoft and Apple have added VoIP features to their videoconferencing software. Both have embedded VoIP in their instant-messaging applications, and the Microsoft Xbox game machine has built into it a way for players to chat during a game, a feature that teenagers sometimes use as a way of making free and convenient phone calls.

But stretching CALEA to encompass all possible VoIP architectures could significantly restrict the number of lawful VoIP system architectures in the United States. That would render it less useful and more vulnerable, claims a June 2006 Information Technology Association of America report, "Security Implications of Applying the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act to Voice over IP." The report suggests that the physical security of networking equipment may be compromised, because VoIP provider employees, who may have minimal experience with wiretapping, will need to reconfigure the equipment themselves, possibly introducing problems or exposing it to tampering by others.

"I worry about any kind of security holes that are introduced into communications technology, especially one that already has such poor security as Internet communications," says Susan Landau, one of the report's coauthors and distinguished engineer at Sun Microsystems Laboratories, in Burlington, Mass. "Internet technology is remarkably nimble and able to route around a crisis. If CALEA were to destroy that or introduce security holes into the communications infrastructure, it would be a lose-lose situation."

What the FBI has sought would be nearly impossible to meet in practice, says John Morris, a lawyer at the Center for Democracy and Technology in Washington, D.C. At present, accessing the content of a purely IP call is beyond reach. "Either the Department of Justice is going to say, 'You can't use that architecture [that bypasses central servers],' or the idea of CALEA compliance in an IP context has to be radically different," Morris says.

Imagine how law enforcement agents might try to wiretap a roving customer, who uses a peer-to-peer service and places phone calls while using wireless networks in public places. According to the letter of the law, agencies must minimize their taps to a specific target. So sifting out the data generated by one person among many sitting in a Wi-Fi-enabled coffee shop or hotel lobby presents a substantial hurdle. Tapping the entire location violates the terms of the act.

Add to that the difficulty of knowing when or where someone may next sign on to a public network-and the possibility that the call recipient, too, may be roaming between airport terminals, hotels, and offices. Unless law enforcement agents can predict a person's movements, they don't know where to watch for a target's Internet activity, or what the person's IP address is at that moment. "Such a communication is realistically uninterceptible because nobody knows who is communicating with whom, and therefore selective targeting is impossible," comments Michael Caloyannides, chief scientist at Ideal Innovations Inc. (I³), a government contractor in Arlington, Va.

Do such communications then become illegal? Caloyannides notes that even without VoIP, a determined caller can still easily place a totally anonymous phone call by buying a disposable cellphone at a convenience store, paying with cash, and tossing the phone after one call. "All the interception in the world will never show who placed that call, and unless every single call in the universe is tapped, that brand-new phone will not be in the FBI's or anyone else's list of targeted phone numbers."

It remains to be seen how the federal government moves next, especially in the wake of the revelation in March that the FBI improperly used national security letters from 2003 through 2005 to obtain thousands of telephone records without judicial approval. "After 9/11, everybody was in favor of letting the FBI do this sort of thing, and of course now people are a little less willing to do that," says Denise Culver, a research analyst at Light Reading, a telecom publication in New York City. What political climate prevails may well determine whether the VoIP of tomorrow looks anything like the VoIP of today.

CBS 2 Investigates: Informant Points Finger At FBI

'Scorpion': Feds At Fault For Paterson Mass Murder

Scott Weinberger
Reporting

(CBS) PATERSON, N.J. A controversial FBI informant is breaking his silence about a brutal mass murder in New Jersey. He's speaking only to CBS 2 HD and is pointing a finger right at the feds.

For Carmen Suarez, there's a question still haunts her almost two years after her husband's murder.

"Why did my husband get killed? What was the reason for him to lose his life?"

On Dec. 12, 2005, Ralph left home to go to a friend's house, but instead ended up at an after hours gambling joint on Railroad Avenue in Paterson, N.J.

That night the club was buzzing and thousands of dollars changed hands. The club's manager, known only as "Scorpion," was an ex-con with a long and violent rap sheet.

But on this night, it's his call to police that would expose this illegal operation and so much more.

*"Scorpion": "183 Railroad Ave. ... murder."

*Operator: "What happened over there?"

*"Scorpion:" "Two men just came up to somebody and shot them in the back of the head, quick."

Police said three men who had been gambling at the club got angry after losing. They would later return to get even.

All four victims were shot execution style.

Tara Woods was a mother of two young children. Her sister agreed to talk to CBS 2 HD, but did not want to show her face.

"(Tara) was a fun loving sister... the life of the party," she said. "She begged for her life but it didn't matter. And she knew this was coming. No one deserves to die this way."

The 911 call also revealed something that even startled the operator.

*"Scorpion": "I work for the FBI."

*Operator: "You work for the FBI?"

*"Scorpion": "Yes."

It's hard to believe, but federal documents obtained by CBS 2 HD confirm that "Scorpion" was an FBI informant, an unlikely government ally recruited for his insight into street level gangs. The Bureau wanted him to set up the illegal club to identify members of the Latin Kings.

"Their expectations were that they would get all the information they could on all the Latin Kings," "Scorpion" said. "The Latin King gang would be broken up, all Latin Kings would be arrested and it would all be over."

The second floor warehouse had been wired by the FBI with surveillance cameras, with one capturing two of the alleged shooters moments before the murders.

When asked who financed the deal, provided gambling tools and the ability to open from Day 1, "Scorpion" didn't hesitate:

"FBI."

An illegal operation run by a convicted felon, which was owned, operated, created and funded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Even though the club was wired, sources said not a single FBI agent personally spent time on surveillance outside the building unless a high-ranking gang member was expected.

"They had to know who was gonna be there, and if they felt that person was important enough then they would be there," "Scorpion" said.

Attorney Rosemarie Arnold represents the families of three of the victims who have filed suit against the federal government.

"The FBI set up an operation that was a murder waiting to happen," Arnold said. "There was money everywhere.

"The FBI didn't pull the trigger. The FBI didn't shoot anybody, but the FBI set everything in motion to the point that murder was inevitable."

Said "Scorpion": "My feeling is, they can blame me and the FBI and the government all they want -- and they're right. There's nothing we can do about that, we messed up. We destroyed their lives."

Linda Wood wasn't about to forgive the FBI or "Scorpion."

"I truly, truly believe that they had a responsibility," Wood said. "They set this up. They put all the wheels in motion. Had it not been for this place she would be alive."

Added Carmen Wood: "They took part of my life away from me. I hope that when they go to sleep they think about what they did."

Just weeks after the murders, Paterson police arrested both shooters. They are awaiting trail. As for "Scorpion," he remains on the run, fearing retaliation not only from the Latin Kings but also the federal government.

When asked for a comment, the FBI would neither confirm nor deny its role.

PRINT ARTICLE E-MAIL ARTICLE CHANGE TYPE SIZE

FBI ON CAMPUS: Marya Bangee, 20, a member of the Muslim Student Union, shown at the "wall" erected for MSU's Israel Apartheid Resurrected week, witnessed the conflict between Yasser Ahmed and an alleged FBI agent on the campus of UCI Monday night as the students were taking down the wall.

LEONARD ORTIZ, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

FBI actions at UCI questioned

Muslim student says he feared agent was going to run him over; bureau says cinderblock was thrown at car.

By Marla Jo Fisher

The Orange County Register

IRVINE – Nearly a year after a top FBI official said the agency does not monitor students at UCI, police are investigating an incident in which a Muslim student says he was threatened by a federal agent.

The incident occurred Monday night in view of campus police and dozens of Muslim student spectators, who were helping to disassemble a large wooden representation of the wall that Israelis have built in occupied Palestine.

"There was a confrontation, if you will," said UCI Police Chief Paul Henisey, who is investigating the incident to determine if any crime was committed. The students "demanded to know why this person was following them, then the person left," he said.

In 2006, an FBI agent created an uproar in the Southern California Islamic community, when she told a group of influential businessmen and women at the Pacific Club that the FBI was fully aware of the high level of activism among Muslim students at USC and UCI.

Later, a spokeswoman for FBI Assistant Director J. Stephen Tidwell e-mailed the Register, saying, "The FBI does not monitor Muslim student groups at UC Irvine, USC or other educational institutions."

On Thursday, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller reiterated that position, saying that the agent came onto campus Monday "in the course of an investigation." She declined to elaborate.

"Agents can be led anywhere during the course of an investigation," Eimiller said. "There is no surveillance being conducted at educational institutions."

This week, UCI's Muslim Student Union has been holding twice-daily speeches and rallies called "Israel: Apartheid Resurrected" to protest Israeli policies toward Palestinians. As part of the protests, students erected a mock wall near the student center.

UCI officials, citing university policy about large displays, have required them to take down the wall every night, requiring the help of many students due to its size and weight.

UCI economics student Yasser Ahmed said he was driving a borrowed truck up onto the Ring Road near the library loading dock Monday night, on intending to haul away the wall, when he noticed a silver Ford Taurus with blackened windows following him.

Ahmed said he stopped the truck in view of other campus observers and stood in front of the Taurus, trying to look through the blackened windshield and asking the driver to identify himself. When he would not speak, Ahmed said he tried to take a photo of the car's license plate with his camera phone.

"He could have just rolled down his window and said, 'I'm an FBI agent,' and that would have been the end of it," Ahmed said. "There was nothing improper going on."

Instead, according to Ahmed, the driver revved his engine threateningly and began pushing him backward with the car's front bumper. Ahmed said he then began calling for help, and dozens of other students ran over to assist.

"I was frightened," Ahmed said. "I felt I could have been killed or seriously injured if I hadn't jumped out of the way."

Sociology student Marya Bangee, a member of the Muslim Student Union, said the incident was frightening.

"The car was revving its engine to look as intimidating as possible," Bangee said. "I thought it was going to come and hit the (mock Palestine) wall."

Eventually, the car roared off, according to witnesses, chased by students on bicycles and a campus police car. Later, Ahmed said a police officer told him that the car had "cold" license plates, meaning they could not be checked through normal computers.

The next morning, Ahmed said, he went to the campus police station and was told by the police chief that the man in the car was an FBI agent.

Ahmed, who lives with his family in Orange County, laughed at the idea the FBI could be investigating him.

Sociology student Bangee said UCI's Muslim Student Union opposes violence and its members are not terrorists.

"All we do is speak out against injustice," Bangee said, though she said she believes the FBI has been spying on students.

"We have nothing to hide," Bangee said. "If something illegal ever happened, it might make sense. But nothing ever has. It's complete xenophobia."

Regarding the allegations that an FBI agent endangered a student, Eimiller said, "The fair thing to do is to let the cops investigate it." She added that a student threw a cinderblock at the agent.

The agent did not violate any policy by refusing to identify himself, Eimiller said, because he was not conducting an arrest.

UCI Police Chief Henisey said the FBI has been cooperating with his investigation.

On Thursday, Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Southern California chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations in Anaheim, said his office "has received many calls from students and parents at UCI expressing extreme concern about the safety and privacy of their students on campus" since Monday.

"The calls came all day yesterday and today," Ayloush said Thursday. "It's understandable that law enforcement might sometimes need to verify certain tips, but the problem in this situation was the manner in which it was conducted."

Harvard Law Classmates Call Out Gonzales

Back in April, embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales attended his 25th reunion at Harvard Law School. At that time, a group of current HLS students protested his attendance. This week, a group of fifty-six of his old Harvard Law classmates took out an ad in the Washington Post condemning Gonzales for his "failure to stand for the rule of law," among other complaints. They did not go so far as to call for the Attorney General's resignation, but rather call for him and the President to "relent from this reckless path." The purpose of the letter was not only to express their displeasure at the administration, but also to encourage others to feel comfortable enough to do the same.

One of the letter's authors, David Abromowitz of Boston, told me that this was not the typical group one might imagine taking out advocacy ads and openly criticizing the sitting Attorney General and President. Many of the signatories are currently working in large, corporate law firms or are very senior in business and financial institutions. Some were editors of the Harvard Law Review. Abromowitz also noted that while some classmates they approached declined to sign because they held public office or had some other conflict, none expressed support for the current administration's policies.

Agency Disputes Account

Bucky Phillips Manhunt Review

More News

more>>

(May 22, 2007) - - A recently released report is putting the spotlight on more new information about last summer's search for fugitive Ralph "Bucky" Phillips. Tuesday, details are emerging about a frightening close call during the search that's recently came under more fire. News 4's Melissa Holmes has more.

It's admitted in the 160-page report there were communication problems between State Police and the multiple outside agencies assisting in the search.

But now, one of those agencies is completely disputing one account detailed in the report.

August 31, 2006. 6:15 p.m. Troopers Joseph Longobardo and Donald Baker, Junior, are keeping watch on Kasey Crowe's Bachelor Hill Road home. They exchange gunfire with someone in the woods. Both troopers are wounded. A full-scale manhunt involving 400 members of law enforcement, on the ground and in air, ensues.

On page 117 of the report, police state that throughout the search "the Erie County Sheriff's Office offered the assistance of an aircraft with high-end camera equipment. However, after observing the ineffectiveness of FBI sophisticated aerial imaging equipment...the offer was declined."

But on the night of the shooting, the report states, Air One helicopter deployed without State Police consent. It adds, "the Erie County pilot made no effort via use of the NYSP aviation frequencies to ascertain the status of NYSP aircraft."

Both choppers apparently had their lights off and only when electronic warnings sounded did the pilots discover they were hovering in the same airspace.

The report states the sheriff's self-deployment "came uncomfortably close to causing a mid-air collision."

But the sheriff's office is now disputing that account. Chief Scott Patronik claims State Police asked the Air One pilot to fly to scene and he was told there were no other helicopters in the area.

Patronik adds the sheriff's department was never contacted afterwards about the incident, and this is the first the sheriff's office has heard this point of view.

Now sheriff's officials are wondering if it was even their helicopter that came uncomfortably close to the State Police helicopter.

Air One's pilot believes he was always a mile or more away from the State Police chopper.

We're tracking down the details right now and we'll bring you latest throughout the day.

Critical FBI Network Full of Security Holes, Government Auditors Report

By Ryan Singel

May 24, 2007 | 1:32:35 PM

fbicioseal A critical FBI communications network containing sensitive law enforcement and investigative data is rife with security flaws and is vulnerable to attacks from outsiders and insiders alike, according to an audit released Thursday by the Government Accountability Office.

The unnamed network is part of the long delayed and scandal plagued Trilogy system that the FBI wants to replace its network of computers and networks, which for years was so bad that agents reportedly couldn't email one another.

System administrators have failed to keep obsolete software off the network, patch computers quickly, ensure passwords and data are strongly encrypted, log and audit security events and prevent insiders from having more privileges than necessary for their job, according to the audit (pdf). The report explicitly refers to rogue former agent Robert Hannsen, who misused his insider access to sell government secrets for years to the Soviets.

Ineffective controls threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the sensitive law enforcement and investigative information transmitted by the critical internal network. Certain information security control weaknesses existed in network devices and services, identification and authentication, authorization, cryptography, audit and monitoring, physical security, and patch management. The bureau’s lack of a comprehensive inventory of the current network operating environment— an enterprise wide view—compounds the effect of these weaknesses.[...] These weaknesses leave the bureau vulnerable to insider threats.

For its part, the FBI's Deputy Chief Information Officer Dean Hall agrees the FBI needs to make some changes, but contends it mostly all good.

"The FBI does not agree that it has placed sensitive information at an unacceptable risk for unauthorized disclosure, modification, or insider threat exploitation," Hall wrote in response to the report.

Open Letter to the President of the American Psychological Association

by Stephen Soldz Page 1 of 5 page(s)

http://www.opednews.com

Last night following Open Letter to Sharon Brehm, President of the American Psychological Association was sent by over 40 psychologists. [It is also available in pdf format at the above link. See also the related briefing paper: Q&A: How the Pentagon's Inspector General Report Contradicts What the APA Has Said About the Involvement of Psychologists in Abusive Interrogations.]

***********************************************************
June 6, 2007

Sharon Brehm, Ph.D.
President
American Psychological Association

Dear President Brehm:

We write you as psychologists concerned about the participation of our profession in abusive interrogations of national security detainees at Guantánamo, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and at the so-called CIA "black sites."

Our profession is founded on the fundamental ethical principle, enshrined as Principle A in our Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct: "Psychologists strive to benefit those with whom they work and take care to do no harm." Irrefutable evidence now shows that psychologists participating in national security interrogations have systematically violated this principle. A recently declassified August 2006 report by the Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General (OIG) –Review of DoD-Directed Investigations of Detainee Abuse-describes in detail how psychologists from the military's Survival, Evasion Resistance, and Escape (SERE) program were instructed to apply their expertise in abusive interrogation techniques to interrogations being conducted by the DoD throughout all three theaters of the War on Terror (Guantánamo, Afghanistan, and Iraq).

SERE is the US military's program designed to train Special Forces and other troops at high risk of capture to resist "breaking" during harsh interrogations conducted by a ruthless enemy. During SERE training, trainees are subjected to extensive abusive treatment, including sensory deprivation, sleep deprivation, isolation, cultural and sexual humiliation, and, in some cases, simulated drowning ("waterboarding"). By SERE's own admission, these techniques are classified as torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.

The OIG report details a number of trainings and consultations provided by SERE psychologists to psychologists and other personnel involved in interrogations, including those on the Behavioral Science Consultation Teams (BSCT), generally composed of and headed by psychologists. The OIG confirms repeated press accounts over the last two years that SERE techniques were "reverse engineered" by SERE psychologists in consultation with the BSCT psychologists and others, to develop and standardize a regime of psychological torture used by interrogators at Guantánamo, and in Iraq and Afghanistan. The OIG report states: "Counterresistance techniques [SERE] were introduced because personnel believed that interrogation methods used were no longer effective in obtaining useful information from some detainees."

The OIG report also clearly reveals the central role of psychologists in these processes:

"On September 16, 2002, the Army Special Operations Command and the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency [the military unit containing SERE] co-hosted a SERE psychologist conference at Fort Bragg for JTF-170 [the military component responsible for interrogations at Guantánamo] interrogation personnel. The Army's Behavioral Science Consultation Team from Guantánamo Bay also attended the conference. Joint Personnel Recovery Agency briefed JTF-170 representatives on the exploitation techniques and methods used in resistance (to interrogation) training at SERE schools. The JTF-170 personnel understood that they were to become familiar with SERE training and be capable of determining which SERE information and techniques might be useful in interrogations at Guantánamo. Guantánamo Behavioral Science Consultation Team personnel understood that they were to review documentation and standard operating procedures for SERE training in developing the standard operating procedure for the JTF-170, if the command approved those practices. The Army Special Operations Command was examining the role of interrogation support as a 'SERE Psychologist competency area'" (p. 25, emphasis added).

It is now indisputable that psychologists and psychology were directly and officially responsible for the development and migration of abusive interrogation techniques, techniques which the International Committee of the Red Cross has labeled "tantamount to torture." Reports of psychologists' (along with other health professionals') participation in abusive interrogations surfaced more than two years ago.

While other health professional associations expressed dismay when it was reported that their members had participated in these abuses and took principled stands against their members' direct participation in interrogations, the APA undertook a campaign to support such involvement. In 2005, APA President Ron Levant created the PENS Task Force to assess the ethics of such participation. Six of the nine voting psychologist members selected for the task force were uniformed and civilian personnel from military and intelligence agencies, most with direct connections to national security interrogations. Perhaps most problematic, it is clear from the OIG Report that three of the PENS members were directly in the chain of command translating SERE techniques into harsh interrogation tactics. Although we cannot know exactly what each of these individuals did, their presence in the chain of command is troubling.

One such task Force member is Colonel Morgan Banks who, according to his Task Force biography

"is the senior Army Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) Psychologist, responsible for the training and oversight of all Army SERE Psychologists, who include those involved in SERE training.... He provides technical support and consultation to all Army psychologists providing interrogation support.... His initial duty assignment as a psychologist was to assist in establishing the Army's first permanent SERE training program involving a simulated captivity experience.... In November 1991 [sic: 2001], he deployed to Afghanistan, where he spent four months over the winter of 2001/2002 at Bagram Airfield, supporting combat operations against Al Qaida and Taliban fighters."

Thus, according to the OIG report, Colonel Banks had direct command responsibility for the SERE psychologists training, consulting, and participating in interrogations and provided "support and consultation" to other psychologists involved in abusive interrogations. In fact, reading the OIG report renders it difficult to imagine that Colonel Banks was not himself directly involved in developing and/or implementing these abusive activities. The OIG report appears to confirm what has been suspected at least since the publication in July 2005 of Jane Mayer's New Yorker article "The Experiment": that Colonel Banks was intimately involved in the teaching and development of the abusive interrogation tactics documented by the International Committee of the Red Cross, and now by the Department of Defense, as being used at Guantánamo.

Colonel Larry James, a second PENS member, "was the Chief Psychologist for the Joint Intelligence Group at GTMO, Cuba" (PENS Task Force member biographies) starting in January 2003. Col. Larry James has often been cited by Gerald Koocher, Stephen Behnke, and others, as the one who 'cleaned up' Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib. The OIG report, however, makes it clear that Guantánamo BSCTs played an essential role in transforming SERE techniques into standard operating interrogation procedure; that the Commander of Guantánamo detainee operations requested official approval for the use of these torture techniques in October, 2002; and that permission was granted by Defense Secretary Rumsfeld in December 2002. Additionally, as stated in his PENS biography, in 2003 James "was the Chief Psychologist for the Joint Intelligence Group at GTMO, Cuba." In 2004, James was Director, Behavioral Science Unit, Joint Interrogation and Debriefing Center at Abu Ghraib. It should be noted that that in 2004, according to many sources, Gen. Geoffrey Miller, Guantánamo Commander, too, went from Guantánamo to Iraq, and brought the SERE techniques with him. James was the commander of the BSCTs at the time the FBI and other law enforcement agents were reporting that severe abuses were occurring at Guantánamo. The FBI and other Criminal Investigative Task Force agents reporting these abuses referred to them as "SERE" and "counter-resistance" tactics in documents obtained by the ACLU under the Freedom of Information Act.

Yet another task Force member, Captain Bryce Lefever, had previously been a SERE psychologist where he supervised "personnel undergoing intensive exposure to enemy interrogation, torture, and exploitation techniques." He "was deployed as the Joint Special Forces Task Force psychologist to Afghanistan in 2002," presumably replacing Col. Banks who had previously held that role. Capt. Lefever "lectured to interrogators and was consulted on various interrogation techniques" (PENS Task Force member biographies). That is, he had the requisite SERE background and it appears that he was involved in interrogations in Afghanistan at the time that, as the OIG report reveals, the abusive SERE-based techniques were being utilized through Special Forces units.

In addition to these three members who were directly in the military chain of command responsible for employing the SERE techniques as interrogation tactics, another member of the PENS Task Force, Scott Shumate, stated in a conference biographical statement that "From April 2001 until May of 2003 he was the chief operational psychologist for the CIA's Counter Terrorism Center (CTC).... He has been with several of the key apprehended terrorists." The CTC, according to press reports, is responsible for managing the CIA's Black Site facilities where the top 14 Al Qaeda operatives in US custody were initially held and interrogated. The "key apprehended terrorists" that Shumate refers to are very likely those Al Qaeda operatives subjected to the CIA's brutal "enhanced interrogation techniques." Thus, the available evidence strongly suggests that the PENS Task Force included a number of individuals who oversaw or directly participated in torture or other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment that is allegedly banned by the APA.

Not surprisingly, given its membership, the PENS Task Force report concluded that "[i]t is consistent with the APA Code of Ethics for psychologists to serve in consultative roles to interrogation and information-gathering processes for national security-related purposes...." The Task Force report further echoed the Department of Defense cover story for employing BSCT psychologists: "While engaging in such consultative and advisory roles entails a delicate balance of ethical considerations, doing so puts psychologists in a unique position to assist in ensuring that such processes are safe and ethical for all participants."

Since the release of the PENS report, numerous articles in the press have documented that psychologists at Guantánamo and elsewhere have utilized abusive SERE techniques on detainees. (Jane Meyer's New Yorker article appeared one week after the PENS report.) All the while, the APA leadership has ignored the mounting evidence to the contrary and reiterated this flawed PENS premise, as you yourself did in response to such an article in the Washington Monthly: "[t]he Association's position is rooted in our belief that having psychologists consult with interrogation teams makes an important contribution toward keeping interrogations safe and ethical."

Judge orders FBI to cough up information about a previously secret computer drive

Judge orders FBI to cough up information about a previously secret computer drive
FBI headquarters in Washington FBI
By Aaron Mehta
June 2, 2011

June files. Zero files. I-drive. The FBI has a history of putting information in locations unknown outside the bureau, making them almost impossible to access from the outside. Now with the discovery of a new drive, a federal judge has ordered the FBI to explain by June 30 whether it is using a previously unknown record-keeping system to hide evidence from defense lawyers.

Concerns about the use of shared drives accessible only to FBI agents are not the first time this issue has come to light. The FBI’s use of these drives goes back at least a decade, and has been criticized by defense lawyers for years as a way for the bureau to handpick what information is made public and what is kept secret — even from federal judges and prosecutors.

Starting in 1996, the bureau began keeping files on something known as the I-drive. The goal of the I-drive was to have FBI agents file all their information into one place. A supervisor would then review the information and decide what would go into the official FBI case files.

While it sounds like a good way to streamline the massive amounts of data gathered by the bureau in any given case, defense lawyers and judges alike have condemned the system. That’s because anything not included in the official case file is not considered discoverable — it does not have to be turned over to anyone outside the bureau, including in response to FOIA requests or to defense lawyers working on a case.

After a 2004 AP article brought the existence of the I-drive to light, groups such as the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers started directing attorneys to specifically request information from the I-drive when making requests of the FBI. But the recent revelation of an S-drive, with the same purpose as the I-drive, may have rendered that moot.

“If it wasn’t such an affront to the Constitution it’d almost be humorous,” said Jesse Trentadue , a lawyer whose legal battles with the FBI helped bring both the I-drive and S-drive to light. The fact that the FBI has set up another drive with the same purpose but a different name creates a “constantly moving target. You think you’ve exposed them and it’s over, and they set up another.”

On May 11, Trentadue says he was in court demanding information from the I-drive when the Department of Justice lawyer representing the FBI mentioned the existence of the S-drive — the first public mention of such a drive. Judge Clark Waddoups, a George W. Bush appointee who was presiding over the case in Utah, ordered the FBI to provide more information about the drive by the end of June.

Two days later, Waddoups issued his written order on the matter, which demanded the FBI affirm whether it had provided “incomplete or otherwise misleading information” to the court and demanded that the bureau search for anything requested by Trentadue on both the I and S drives in response to his FOIA requests.

Waddoups decision was based, in part, on a 2009 case known as Islamic Shura Council of Southern California v. Federal Bureau of Investigation, where a central California judge ruled that the FBI did not respond correctly to the plaintiff’s FOIA request because the agency had not searched beyond the official case files.

By not providing a full response that included information on these drives to the FOIA request, “The Government previously provided false and misleading information to the Court,” according to Judge Cormac Carney. “The Government asserts that it had to mislead the Court regarding the Government’s response to Plaintiffs’ FOIA request to avoid compromising national security. The Government’s argument is untenable. The Government cannot, under any circumstance, affirmatively mislead the Court.”

“The Court simply cannot perform its constitutional function if the Government does not tell the truth.”

Jim Dempsey of the Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit civil liberties group, doesn’t think there’s anything “nefarious” about the drives. To him, they sound like the most recent version of the longstanding view in the FBI that their case files represent the “cleaned up coherent version of events.”

He said the fact these drives exist is a better option that what the FBI had traditionally done. In the past, after the interview summaries were typed up and cleaned, the notes would be thrown out. And while presenting a clean interview document has its benefits, doing so may create an “overly sanitized version of reality.” Because of that, Dempsey said the files should be subject to discovery and FOIA requests.

“Clearly the average person would want to say ‘I see the nice neat version over here, let me see the messy version,’” Dempsey argued. “Once the nice neat version is called into question you want to see the messy version and maybe a different reality emerges. “

Jesse Trentadue, however, is one of many lawyers who say the system is indefensible. “They do it for two reasons,” Trentadue said, “to avoid handing info over to defense counsel in a criminal case, evidence that could be exculpatory, and to frustrate people making FOIA demands.”

The NACDL’s Jack King agreed these drives are a way for the FBI to hide information. “What I think these drives are, are places to keep documents they don’t want to throw away but they never want anyone to see,” he said. “The FBI never throws anything away, but they seem to have trouble finding stuff that doesn’t fit with their theory of the case.”

By not including the information from these drives in their case files, the FBI is withholding information from federal prosecutors as well. While that would seem counter intuitive, King said it’s simply part of how the FBI operates. “The bureau has its own culture, and part of that culture is helping the prosecutor out by not messing up the case by not giving info that would hurt the case.”

The FOIA process is particularly impacted by the use of these

Gang Stalking = COINTELPRO = STASI decomposition

The FBI and all law enforcement agencies are currently using a psychological warfare protocol like "COINTELPRO" which is almost identical to the STASI "decomposition". This is what people are referring to as Gang Stalking.

The earliest forms of this that I know of are from Egypt, Greece and Rome. Each of these societies had pervasive spy/informant networks that were spying on each other as well as looking for spies inside of their own empires. Anyone who did not feel that their own respective empire was the most perfect society could be considered a traitor. In other words they were looking for anyone who had thoughts beliefs and attitudes that were not approved of by the state that could instigate revolt or subversive activity or otherwise make them a danger to the empire. This obviously created a snitch culture and there were bound to be abuses. If a person was not liked by another then it was easy to persuade others to make a complaint and get that person killed or exiled. No one dare say or do anything that was politically incorrect and thus the rulers were able to maintain power and control over the people. Blatant execution or exile is common in an empire but in a democracy it is not as easy to accomplish these punishments so modern psychological operations were developed to accomplish these goals and in this way an empire can masquerade as a democracy.

The STASI decomposition protocol is an excellent example of how these modern psychological operations work. The STASI decomposition is almost identical to the FBI’s COINTELPRO. Here is a link to a document that shows an overview of the STASI decomposition.

· http://www.mediafire.com/?5w80dni99qc1c8w

Law enforcement agencies in concert with government and corporations are using bribery, deception, coercion & blackmail to create an informant & saboteur network out of criminals of all kinds, extremist groups, cults, patriotic zealots, the poor, the homeless, friends, family, neighbors, repair men, fire men, police, military personnel and agents to target individuals and groups that have beliefs and attitudes (such as civil rights and animal rights.) that may cause them to commit acts of terrorism at some future time or motivate others to commit terrorist acts or incite revolt. This pre-crime approach has existed numerous times throughout American history but has reared its ugly head again due to 9/11.

Unfortunately, according to former FBI agent Mike German, many post 9/11 targeted individuals are nothing more than a training exercise.

· http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

Here is a lecture by Noam Chomsky that uncovers the root mindset in America that predicates the targeting of groups and individuals.

The real power behind gang stalking and many other terrible things is the minority of the opulent but the front group making all the policy changes these days is the neoconservatives. Neoconservatisim is a cult ideology that has been bankrolled and nurtured by the opulent just like all of the other cult ideologies created or co-opted by the opulent for their machinations.

Stalin and Hitler were fanatical leaders inspired by a gang mentality and by the concept of "historic mission." They believed that intolerance and large scale brutality were necessary ingredients of social order. Each of them was also supported by the “cult of personality.” The neocons are strikingly similar.

What are the components of gang mentality?

Reputation

· Extreme concern with reputation both inside and outside of the ideology. Neocons are this way.

Respect

· Extreme concern with respect both inside and outside of the ideology. Neocons are this way.

Retaliation

· No challenge will go unanswered. It is so with the neocons as well.

What is the concept of “historic mission”?

In a well documented conversation, Adolf Hitler berated the Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg and stated…

"That is what you say!...But I am telling you that I am going to solve the so-called Austrian problem one way or the other...I have a historic mission, and this mission I will fulfill because Providence has destined me to do so...I have only to give an order and all your ridiculous defense mechanisms will be blown to bits. You don't seriously believe you can stop me or even delay me for half an hour, do you?"

Prominent neocon Michael Ledeen stated…

“Creative destruction is our middle name, both within our own society and abroad. We tear down the old order every day, from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity, which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep pace. Seeing America undo traditional societies, they fear us, for they do not wish to be undone. They cannot feel secure so long as we are there, for our very existence—our existence, not our politics—threatens their legitimacy. They must attack us in order to survive, just as we must destroy them to advance our historic mission.”

What is the cult of personality?

The cult of personality is explained pretty well here…

· http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality

The Straussian philosophy is a cult of personality and the neocons follow the Straussian philosophy

· http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13145.htm

If you select 1 percent of a population (Whistle blowers, dissidents, artists, those that look funny, and act or dress funny) and punish them severely for little or nothing, then you will gain the compliance of the other 99 percent either through fear or because they’ve been conned by the COINTELPRO/STASI type propaganda in to believing that the TI’s must be removed from society for the common good. Then you can implement the social, political and financial changes you want on a grand scale in a relatively short period of time. I.E. advance your historic mission. This has been done enumerable times throughout history.

When the average person considers what the Nazis or Stalin did, they are naturally horrified. When a banker considers what the Nazis or Stalin did they have dollar signs in their eyes. MONEY is the real reason this is happening!!! The bankers know that a one world government is not possible. Empire building has been going on for centuries and a global empire has never been realized. But if you understand finance, history, politics and the military industrial complex, then it is clear to see that it is the EXERCISE of building empires and large scale wars that redistributes the wealth of nations into the hands of the banking elite and keeps the masses under control.

Unfortunately most human beings don't understand how their own minds work nor are they well educated in multiple disciplines. Most of the people that perpetrate these crimes against humanity aren't fully aware that there is such a big conspiracy going on. It’s just that most human beings have so many inherent psychological weaknesses and such a deep lack of education that if you alter the socioeconomic landscape in just the right way, you get what you see here in America today.

Here are a few very credible documentaries that will help you to understand what’s really going on and hopefully survive…

· http://metanoia-films.org/psywar/#watch

· http://metanoia-films.org/human-resources/#watch

One of the biggest mistakes people make when they become TI’s is to attempt to create a counter spy network against those that are surveilling them. This is something that the neocons and the banking elite are OK with. A global spy counter spy network is much like the cold war and the cold war was extremely profitable for the banking elite not to mention a powerful pretext to control people. The global war on terror needs a global terrorist network and since there really is not one, many targets will be manipulated into acting out in ways that can classify them as terrorists thus creating the impetus for law enforcement agencies to demand more tax payer money to fight the war on terror. Targets are all better off contacting a civil rights group and explaining that they have reason to believe they have been placed on the terrorist watch list.

Do yourself a favor and learn as much about economics and finance as possible. It will help you survive. This is all the info you will need to be an educated investor. It’s not a get rich quick thing, just a solid economics and investing education.

Also, listen to as many lectures by Professor Noam Chomsky as possible. They are all over the internet. He is brilliant and has been exposing the machinations of the opulent (Rothschild, Rockefeller etc) for decades. His research is very credible and will help you to separate the facts from the propaganda and give you a measure of mental clarity and peace. Utilizing his research will also help you gain some of your credibility back with others.

Try to explain all of this to your friends and family. Usually when people see the mission statement of the neocons from their websites (PNAC & FPI) they start listening.

According to anti-communist author Ludwik Kowalski

“Mass murder occurs when brutal and sadistic criminals, to be found in every society, are promoted to positions of dominance, when propaganda is used to dehumanize the targeted population and when children are inoculated with intolerance and hatred. It occurs when victims ("inferior races" or "class enemies") are excluded from the norms of morality, when ideological totalitarianism is imposed and when freedom is suspended. Fear and violence, the preconditions of genocide, are likely to be found in societies with large numbers of thieves and informants.”

Here is some info on how to take care of your physical health.

You probably are incapable of wrapping your mind around
the fact the FBI organizational model is that of a death squad.
So I won't overload your circuit boards by reminding you it was your tax
dime that funded the President Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassination.
At about this time your eyes start to glaze over so I won't mention that the FBI is a perfect teacher for the American voter and taxpayer.
What I will tell you is that you have lost the ability to protect yourself as a consequence of hiring bodyguards to protect you instead of creating volunteer patrols to police your community and hiring 3rd party forensic investigators to solve crimes you are incapable of solving.
Restorative Justice is the wave of the criminal justice future.
To bad you won't be around to see it.

Exclusive: Whitey’s Man in the FBI Speaks Out
Jun 18, 2012

FBI agent John Connolly went to jail for enabling the bloody reign of gangster Whitey Bulger. Now, in his first interview since Bulger was caught, he says the extent of the feds' cover-up may never be known.

In the 12 months since notorious mobster James “Whitey” Bulger was captured, he has been revealed to have feet of clay. Stripped of his power, Bulger awaits some form of justice, be it death from old age (he’s 82), or adjudication in federal court, where he stands accused of 19 murders. Either way Bulger will be made to pay, though it has become increasingly apparent that the many people and institutions of government that made Whitey Bulger possible will not be held accountable. One of the most violent and pernicious criminal conspiracies in the history of American mobsterism is over, but for those who hoped that the prosecution of Bulger would be some form of final exposé on the Bulger era, his trial is shaping up to be a whitewash.

Having lived 16 years on the run, 12 of those in an apartment near the beach in Santa Monica, Calif., with $822,198 cash and an arsenal of weapons stashed in a wall, Bulger was finally pinched after a tipster contacted the FBI with information about his fugitive girlfriend, Catherine Greig. Bulger and Greig, age 61, were arrested on June 23, 2011, and returned to Boston, where Whitey had for nearly a quarter century maintained a criminal business that included extortion, loan sharking, narcotics, fraud, illegal gambling, and murder.

Earlier this month Greig received an eight-year prison sentence and $150,000 fine for aiding and abetting a federal fugitive. With time served and allowable reductions for good behavior, she is likely to serve 76 months. Bulger’s trial is scheduled to begin on November 5.

The evidence against Whitey is formidable. Since he went on the run in January 1995, most of his closest associates have cut deals with the government and testified at various hearings and trials, and they are likely to testify against Whitey at his trial. Any attempt to prosecute Bulger, however, is complicated by the fact that at the same time he was committing most of the alleged murders, he and his gangster partner, Steve Flemmi, were also working as top informants for the FBI.

It is Bulger’s role as a government informant, and the way that role was fostered, facilitated, and kept confidential by a vast array of public servants, that has led many to suspect that the true nature of Bulger’s criminal career will never be fully explored in a court of law. Actions taken since Whitey’s arrest one year ago underscore these claims.

“The prosecution of Bulger is being carefully orchestrated,” says Harvey Silverglate, a renowned Boston criminal-defense attorney and author who has written about the case. Silverglate uses the word “cover-up” to describe the prosecution’s motives, adding, “If they wanted to convict Bulger swiftly, they could have tried him in California on gun-possession charges. Would have been an open-and-shut case. He’d have received a 30-year sentence. Or in Oklahoma, where one of the murders occurred; they have the death penalty. But the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston is not about to let this case out from under its control. Because then details might come out that show a pattern of secrecy and cover-up going back generations.”

False Flag Terror and Conspiracies of Silence

by Prof. James F. Tracy

August 10, 2012

http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=32299

The news media’s readiness to accept official pronouncements and failure to more vigorously analyze and question government authorities in the wake of "domestic terrorist" incidents contributes to the American public’s already acute case of collective historical amnesia, while it further rationalizes the twenty-first century police state and continued demise of civil society.

Some may recall "Bugs Raplin" (Giancarlo Espisito), the resolute investigative journalist depicted in Tim Robbins’ 1992 political mockumentary Bob Roberts. After being framed as the culprit in a false flag assassination attempt by corrupt political huckster Bob Roberts (Robbins), Raplin delivers a perceptive soliloquy that among other things effectively describes the American public's moribund civic condition and short-circuited democracy. “The reason Iran-Contra happened,” Raplin begins,

is because no one did anything substantial about Watergate. And the reason Watergate happened is because there were no consequences from the Bay of Pigs. They’re all the same operatives—the foot soldiers at the Bay of Pigs, the plumbers that got busted at Watergate, the gunrunners in Iran-Contra—all the same people, same faces. Now it doesn’t take a genius to figure out the connection here: A secret government beyond the control of the people and accountable to no one. And the closer we are to discovering the connection, the more Congress turns a blind eye to it. “We can’t talk about that in open session,” they say. “National security reasons.” The truth lies dormant in their laps and they stay blind out of choice. A conspiracy of silence.

Twenty years later amidst the vast outsourcing of intelligence and military operations many more events may arguably be added to such a shadow government’s achievements—the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1995 Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building bombing, the September 11 terror attacks, the non-existent weapons of mass destruction prompting the occupation of Iraq, the July 7, 2005 London tube bombings, the shoe and underwear "bombings"—all of which have contributed to the official justification of imperial wars abroad and an ever-expanding police state at home.

Lacking meaningful contexts with which to understand such events in their totality the general public is incapable of recognizing the road it is being forced down. The most recent set of events that give pause are the horrific, military-style shootings in Aurora Colorado and Oak Creek Wisconsin that authorities maintain were carried out by "lone wolf" gunmen.

Operation Gladio in America?

A potential backdrop and precursor to the Colorado and Wisconsin events is the oft-forgotten Operation Gladio, a campaign involving US and British intelligence-backed paramilitaries anonymously carrying out mass shootings and bombings of civilian targets throughout Europe. Hundreds of such attacks took place between the late 1960s and early 1980s by “stay behind armies” of right wing and fascist saboteurs in an overall effort to terrorize populations, deploy a “strategy of tension,” and thereby maintain a centrist political status quo.[1] In the uncertain environment the petrified citizenry pled for stepped-up security and stood poised to part with personal freedoms. At the same time the maneuver allowed for political adversaries---in Gladio's time socialist and communist groups—to be blamed for the attacks and thereby demonized in the public mind.

The string of still unresolved US political assassinations throughout the 1960s suggest how such practices were not restricted to foreign countries. Nor were they solely the terrain of intelligence agencies. Along lines similar to Gladio, in the early 1960s the US Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed Operation Northwoods, where terrorist attacks would be initiated against US civilians in American cities and the violence blamed on Cuban combatants to justify war against the island nation.[2] The Kennedy administration rejected the proposal. While Northwoods exhibited the capacity for government to conceive and propose such plans, Gladio was demonstrably carried out against Western civilian populations in multiple locations over many years.

Consideration of Gladio and Northwoods might be dismissed were it not for early eyewitness accounts following the Colorado and Wisconsin shootings contending how there were two or more killers present at each incident—testimonies contradicting official government narratives that have accordingly been suppressed in the public mind.[3]

As communications historian Christopher Simpson observes, “the tactics that created the [Gladio] stay behinds in the first place are still in place and continue to be used today. They are standard operating procedure.”[4] Such potential explanations will appear foreign to an American public that is systematically misinformed and easily distracted. And in times of crisis especially that very public is tacitly assured of its safe remove from such practices, looking instead to political authorities and experts to reestablish a stasis to the carefully constructed “reality” major media impose on the mass psyche.

In this alternate reality Gladio has effectively been “memory-holed.” A LexisNexis Academic search for “Operation Gladio” retrieves a mere 31 articles in English language news outlets—most in British newspapers. In fact, only four articles discussing Gladio ever appeared in US publications—three in the New York Times and one brief mention in the Tampa Bay Times. Barring a 2009 BBC documentary [5] no network or cable news broadcasts have ever referenced the maneuver.

Almost all of the articles related to Gladio appeared in 1990 when Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti publicly admitted Italy’s participation in the process. The New York Times downplayed any US involvement, misleadingly calling Gladio “an Italian creation” in a story buried on page A16.[6] In reality, former CIA director William Colby revealed in his memoirs that covert paramilitaries were a significant agency undertaking set up after World War II, including “the smallest possible coterie of the most reliable people, in Washington [and] NATO.”[7]

A Plausible Narrative / Conclusion

Gladio's successful concealment for so many years demonstrates how mass atrocities can be carried out by a shadow network with complete impunity. Most incidents from the Gladio period remain unsolved by authorities. In the US, however, a plausible narrative appears to be required for public consumption. For example, just a few hours after the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials swept in and wrested the case from Oak Creek authorities by classifying it as an act of "domestic terrorism."[8]. Less than twenty four hours later one of the federal government's foremost de facto propaganda and intelligence-gathering arms—the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)—developed a storyline that was unquestioningly lapped up by major news media.[9]

In an August 6 Democracy Now interview with SPLC spokesman Mark Potok and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Don Walker, Potok explained in unusual detail how the alleged killer was involved in "white supremacist groups," "Nazi skinhead rock bands," and that the SPLC had been “tracking” the groups he was in since 2000. Potok’s remarks, which dominate the exchange and steer clear of the suspect's experience in psychological operations, contrasted sharply with Walker's, who more cautiously pointed out that the suspect’s “work in [US Army] PsyOps is still a bit of a mystery to all of us ... We talked to a psychiatrist who said that [being promoted to PsyOps is] like going from the lobby to the 20th floor very quickly.”[10]

Like the Aurora Colorado storyline of a crazed shooter who expertly booby-trapped his apartment with exotic explosives, such appealingly sensationalistic narratives serve to sideline the countervailing testimonies of eyewitnesses and are difficult to contest or dislodge once they are driven home by would-be experts through almost every major news outlet.

A similar scenario played out in the wake of the Oklahoma City federal building bombing when the ATF, FBI and SPLC together constructed the dominant frame of Timothy McVeigh as the lone bomber, an account that likewise diverged with the local authorities’ initial findings, early news reports of unexploded ordinance and a mysterious accomplice of McVeigh, and the overall conclusions of the Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation Committee’s Final Report.[11] The narrative nevertheless served to maintain the political status quo while securing the Clinton administration's second term in office. To this day most Americans believe McVeigh was solely responsible for the bombing despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

For its time Raplin’s prognosis was an accurate description of America's cascading socio-political nightmare. Elected officials abdicate their responsibility of oversight for personal gain and thus perpetuate “a conspiracy of silence.” Yet over the past two decades, the quickening pace of “terrorist” events suggests how shadow networks have grown in boldness and strength, while each attack has contributed to the steady erosion of civil society and constitutional rights.

With this in mind both the mainstream and "alternative" news media, through their overt censorial practices, their consistent failure to place events in meaningful historical contexts, and their overall deliberate obeisance to dubious and unaccountable authorities, compound this conspiracy by ensnaring the public in questionable realities from which it cannot readily escape.

When fully deployed, NGI will allow the bureau to integrate a vast array of forensic data culled from local and state law enforcement agencies, including fingerprints, palm prints, scar and tattoo records, and facial photos. Multiple reports peg the cost of the facial-recognition software upgrade alone at $1 billion.

News & Events Alumnus named FBI division chief November 1, 2012 : By Bethany Pico/Liberty University News Service http://www.liberty.edu/news/index.cfm?PID=18495&MID=68850

Alumnus named FBI division chief

November 1, 2012 : By Bethany Pico/Liberty University News Service

Alumnus Jeffrey Mazanec ('85) was recently named Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Richmond Division.

Liberty University alumnus Jeffrey Mazanec (’85) was recently named Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI’s Richmond Division. As the chief executive officer of an FBI field office, he oversees a staff of 200 who protect America from the threat of fraud, terrorism, espionage, and other national crimes.

Mazanec has an extensive career with the FBI, working as a field officer and in several leadership positions, including a detail with the CIA for the Counterterrorism Center after the 9/11 attacks.

During his time at Liberty, he pursued a broad degree in liberal arts and history, which he said provided a foundation on which to build a career in law and government.

“I was exposed to great courses in constitutional law, history, political science, and political philosophy and continued to develop a love of learning throughout my years at Liberty. The professors and the curriculum helped me to grow a sense of wonder and fascination for the world,” Mazenec said.

Like many college students, he had specific interests and studied them in his undergraduate years but did not have a particular career in mind.

“I had no idea where my interests would eventually lead, although I always admired the FBI and its work. Entering college, I began to pursue a career in law,” Mazanec said.

He was involved in many extracurricular activities at Liberty, including leadership in the Student Government Association, the debate team, and the pre-law society. After his sophomore year, Mazenec participated in an internship in Washington, D.C., which he said inspired him to public service.

After he graduated from Liberty, he earned his Juris Doctor from the College of William & Mary.

Mazanec said having a Christian education “helped forge a worldview that prioritized what (I) really value and hold sacred,” and developed in him a “sincere appreciation for civilized society and the rule of law.”

“My education taught me that as I faced the pressures, decisions, and difficulties of the daily working world, I could find strength in the source of all strength and encouragement in God’s Word,” Mazanec said.

Since he graduated in 1985, Liberty has grown and built a more expansive government program for students. Established in the fall of 2004, the Helms School of Government offers 10 residential degree programs with specializations in Politics and Policy, International Relations, Pre-Law, Criminal Justice, Strategic and Intelligence Studies, as well as several minors. Degrees are also available with the convenience of an online education through Liberty University Online.

Mazanec encourages Liberty students to “pursue learning with passion and enthusiasm, learn to discover the interests, talents, and gifts” they have, and to “learn hard work with integrity.”

“Today’s society is overwhelmed with ethical confusion, laziness, without moral compasses, so we must be light and an inspiration. As Jesus said, ‘Be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves.’”

Declan McCullagh by Declan McCullagh November 2, 2012 4:00 AM PDT The FBI's headquarters in Washington, D.C. (Credit: FBI) A federal judge has rejected the FBI's attempts to withhold information about its efforts to require Internet companies to build in backdoors for government surveillance. CNET has learned that U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg ruled on Tuesday that the government did not adequately respond to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Seeborg, in San Francisco, ordered (PDF) a "further review of the materials previously withheld" in the lawsuit, which seeks details about what the FBI has dubbed "Going Dark" -- the bureau's ongoing effort to force companies including Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, and Google to alter their code to ensure their products are wiretap-friendly. One almost-entirely-redacted document that the FBI turned over. EFF says the deletions are too extreme. One almost-entirely-redacted document that the FBI turned over. Click for larger image. (Credit: FBI) "We must ensure that our ability to obtain communications pursuant to court order is not eroded," FBI Director Robert Mueller told a U.S. Senate committee in September. Currently, Mueller said, many companies "are not required to build or maintain intercept capabilities." The FBI says lawful investigations are thwarted because Internet companies aren't required to build in back doors in advance, or because technology doesn't permit it. In May, CNET reported that the bureau has quietly asked Web companies not to oppose a law that would levy new wiretap requirements on social-networking Web sites and providers of VoIP, instant messaging, and Web e-mail. During an appearance two weeks later at a Senate hearing, Mueller confirmed that the bureau is pushing for "some form of legislation." Judge Seeborg's ruling this week also ordered the FBI to make it more obvious which Going Dark-related documents were being withheld from public view, something the EFF said has been unreasonable and confusing. He gave both sides 15 days to "meet and confer to negotiate a timetable for the FBI to complete" its revisions. Seeborg did not, however, make a final ruling about what must be turned over. The Justice Department says it has identified 2,662 pages that might be relevant and has turned over 707 pages. For its part, the EFF argues that they've been heavily redacted -- or had pages completely removed -- in violation of open-government laws. David Hardy, section chief for the FBI's record management division, had told the court that internal documents about a congressional briefing should not be released in full because: Publicity (adverse or otherwise) regarding any internal FBI development projects (e.g. National Electronic Surveillance Strategy), and legislative strategy to make amendments to outdated laws, that these congressional staffers, and DOJ representatives, may be requested to provide input on, may seriously prejudice their effectiveness in helping on other developmental projects, and legislative strategies.... These employees may have to give input on the development of strategy plans, like developing ways to enhance ELSUR [electronic surveillance] capabilities through legislative amendments.... The publicity associated with the release of these congressional staffers involved with an FBI developmental project could trigger hostility toward a particular employee.... An FBI representative declined to comment to CNET, citing the ongoing litigation. Jennifer Lynch, an EFF staff attorney, said: "It's nice to have a court say the government can't do that." Lynch said the ruling shows that the government has "to make an effort" to comply with the entirety of FOIA. The EFF in 2009 requested "all records" about Going Dark. Its second FOIA request, in 2010, asked for examples of surveillance being thwarted on social networks and Skype, as well as documents relating to congressional briefings and meetings with industry representatives. The FBI's proposal would amend a 1994 law, called the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, that currently applies only to telecommunications providers, not Web companies. From the FBI's perspective, expanding CALEA to cover VoIP, Web e-mail, and social networks isn't expanding wiretapping law: If a court order is required today, one will be required tomorrow as well. But privacy groups and civil libertarians -- and Internet companies -- are hardly likely to embrace the idea.

Former FBI agent shares exploits with students

Written by Caitlin Bowling

Traveling around the world, taking down bad guys and helping exonerate the wrongly accused, Steve Moore’s life sounds glamorous — and he will agree that he has loved every minute.

The retired FBI agent gulped down swigs of a Monster energy drink before taking the stage at Western Carolina University last week to offer students a glimpse of his life and times. Moore is the author of Special Agent Man: My Life in the FBI as a Terrorist Hunter, Helicopter Pilot, and Certified Sniper.

Moore spoke to a crowd of about 40 students and faculty about his career exploits, the importance of international travel and safety abroad.

Moore visited WCU as part of International Education Week, a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and foreign exchange studies.

Moore became an FBI special agent in 1983 at age 25 — his first assignment was to go undercover and join the Aryan Nation in Idaho. After six weeks in the white supremacy organization, Moore and his partner were found out and had to continue surveillance of the Aryan Nation from afar.

FBI Fights Order For Deposition Of Oklahoma City Bombing Conspirator

9th November 2008

” … Attorney Jesse Trentdue is seeking to show that his brother Kenneth, a convicted bank robber picked up on a parole violation, was mistaken for an associate of Timothy McVeigh’s and killed during an interrogation that got out of hand. … “

Terry Nichols

David Goodhue – AHN Reporter
November 9, 2008

Denver, CO (AHN) – Justice Department attorneys are trying to stop a Utah lawyer from interviewing convicted Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols and a death row inmate.

The FBI said this week that it disagrees with U.S. District Court Judge Dale A. Kimball’s decision in September to allow Nichols and David Paul Hammer to make a videotaped interview regarding the case and the death of Kenneth Trentdue.

The Justice Department filed notice Nov. 4 that it is asking the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver to reverse Kimball’s order.

Attorney Jesse Trentdue is seeking to show that his brother Kenneth, a convicted bank robber picked up on a parole violation, was mistaken for an associate of Timothy McVeigh’s and killed during an interrogation that got out of hand.

McVeigh carried out the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people. He was executed in 2001.

Kenneth Trentdue died at the Federal Transfer Station in Oklahoma City a few months after McVeigh and Nichols were arrested for their roles in the bombing. The government says Kenneth Trentdue committed suicide.

Nichols and Hammer, who is on death row at the federal penitentiary at Terre Haute, Ind., have both supplied Jesse Trentdue with written affidavits concerning McVeigh.

Nichols is serving a life sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary Administration Maximum Security Facility in Florence, Colo. He is now claiming a high-ranking FBI official “apparently” was directing McVeigh in the bombing plot, the Salt Lake Tribune reported this week.

Nichols says bombing was FBI op
By Geoffrey Fattah, Deseret News
Thursday, Feb. 22 2007 1:02 p.m. MST

The only surviving convicted criminal in the April 19, 1995,
bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City is
saying his co-conspirator, Timothy McVeigh, told him he was taking
orders from a top FBI official in orchestrating the bombing.
The only surviving convicted

Building in Oklahoma City is saying his co-conspirator, Timothy McVeigh,
told him he was taking orders from a top FBI official in orchestrating
the bombing.
A declaration from Terry Lynn
Nichols, filed in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, has proven to
be one of the most detailed confessions by Nichols to date about his
involvement in the bombing as well as the involvement of others.
The declaration was filed as
part of Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue's pending wrongful death
suit against the government for the death of his brother in a federal
corrections facility in Oklahoma City. Trentadue claims his brother was
killed during an interrogation by FBI agents when agents mistook his
brother for a suspect in the Oklahoma City bombing investigation.
The most shocking allegation
in the 19-page signed declaration is Nichols' assertion that the whole
bombing plot was an FBI operation and that McVeigh let slip during a
bout of anger that he was taking instruction from former FBI official
Larry Potts.

Probation for former FBI agent after sharing information with friend

By Mary Pat Flaherty

A former FBI agent from Alexandria was sentenced Tuesday to four years of probation for his part in acquiring confidential information while an agent and passing it along to a friend, prosecutors said.

Ivan Stantchev, 43, was sentenced on a misdemeanor in federal court in Newark, N.J. He had previously pleaded guilty to causing another to exceed authorized access to an FBI computer when he contacted a colleague at the FBI to help him get information for his friend, prosecutors said.

The information the friend ultimately received — and then passed along to others in New Jersey, prosecutors say-- included the existence of an ongoing FBI investigation in Newark, and the existence of an undercover “law enforcement” operation in the city, the name of the FBI’s operation and the federal offenses being investigated.

The friend had asked Stantchev to check four telephone numbers and find out about the people linked to them, according to federal court records.

Stantchev contacted an FBI colleague in the New York area in June 2011 with the phone numbers and, by the end of the month, got back an e-mail from the colleague through the FBI system with information that Stantchev then gave to his friend, court filings show.

FBI to hold top-secret sale

The rare offer for G-men branded gear is good for four hours only. Intelligence locates the store somewhere between the 22nd and 29th floor of 26 Federal Plaza. Special clearance required.

December 13, 2012 3:42 p.m.

Just in time for last-minute holiday shoppers, one of the most exclusive flash sales yet is about to hit Manhattan. On Dec. 20, for the first time in its history, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will open its New York store at 26 Federal Plaza to federal employees for a limited time.

Selling a full line of FBI-branded clothing and merchandise—hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, patches, pens and coins—the store will only be open a brief four hours, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Some items are priced as low as $2, boasted an email sent earlier this week to federal staffers. The store is run by the FBI Recreation Association, a nonprofit headquartered in Washington D.C. Representatives did not return calls requesting comment about this flash sale opportunity.

"The FBIRA board members would like to invite all of their federal partners for a lunch time of holiday shopping," read the email.

In keeping with the exclusive nature of the event, potential shoppers will need to display building and agency IDs and be accompanied by an FBI escort from the lobby's elevator bank servicing the 22nd through 29th floor. No cell phones or other electronic equipment will be permitted. The first-time opportunity to own G-men gear has excited federal employees. The email did not specify which floor the FBI store is on.

In 1999 the Martin Luther King family sued one of the assassins of Martin Luther King in civil court. They did this because Eric Holder of the Department of Justice would not reopen the investigation after the Martin Luther King family uncovered evidence that the FBI, CIA, and Memphis police had assassinated Dr King. The King family also wanted to enter their evidence into a public record so it could be accessed.The jury returned a verdict in favor of the King family and juror members held a press conference saying it was a clear cut case of the FBI assassinating Dr King. There was a media blackout of the trial. Details of the trial can be viewed here or by reading the book called ACT OF STATE THE EXECUTION OF Martin Luther King

written by the trial attorney William Pepper.

Police scandal in Edison grows: Editorial Star-Ledger Editorial Board By Star-Ledger Editorial Board December 16, 2012 When a police department in New Jersey goes off the rails, the rescue falls to the attorney general as a matter of law. That makes it hard to understand Attorney General Jeff Chiesa’s neglect of the dangerous chaos in Edison, and his continuing silence on what he intends to do about it. This department has gone rogue in a hundred ways, as an investigation by The Star-Ledger’s Mark Mueller has established beyond doubt. The latest revelation concerns the internal affairs department, which has been channeling the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover by conducting a witch hunt of political activity in town. Police investigators kept files on the mayor, and on the political donations of police officers and their family members. That breaks every rule in the book, and yet no one was disciplined after Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan found out about it and briefly intervened. Last week, Police Chief Thomas Bryan pointed to the FBI as the culprit, saying the officer who collected this information was asked to do so by the agency. The FBI would not comment on this case, but did offer this: “The FBI does not task other individuals to conduct investigations on our behalf.” Translation: Bryan’s claim is just not true. And even if the FBI did request it, that’s no justification for a witch hunt. This department is split into rival factions, and believe it or not, the group opposing Bryan is even worse. Their top dog is Deputy Chief Mel Vaticano, who tried to get the chief fired based on groundless charges and then took eight months of paid stress leave when the effort failed. A few days after he returned, he left again to burn up some of the vacation time he had accumulated during the stress leave. That is not a joke.

Did I mention the Memphis Police Officers who helped assassinate Martin Luther King?
see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyd_Jowers

Loyd Jowers (November 20, 1926^[1] – May 20, 2000) was the owner of a restaurant (Jim's Grill) near the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. In December 1993, Jowers appeared on ABC's Prime Time Live and related the details of an alleged conspiracy involving the Mafia and the U.S. government to kill King. According to Jowers, James Earl Ray was a scapegoat, and not involved in the assassination. Jowers believed that Memphis police officer Lieutenant Earl Clark fired the fatal shot.

In 1998, the King family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Jowers and "other unknown co-conspirators" for the murder of King. A Memphis jury found Jowers responsible on December 8, 1999, and that the assassination plot contained also "governmental agencies."^[2] At a 1999 press conference following the verdict, Coretta Scott King stated that "there is abundant evidence of a major high level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband, Martin Luther King, Jr... the conspiracy of the Mafia, local, state and federal government agencies, were deeply involved in the assassination of my husband. The jury also affirmed overwhelming evidence that identified someone else, not James Earl Ray, as the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame." Following statements by Dexter King and other family members, Dexter was subsequently asked by a reporter, "there are many people out there who feel that as long as these conspirators remain nameless and faceless there is no true closure, and no justice." He replied:

"No, he [Mr. Lloyd Jowers] named the shooter. The shooter was the Memphis Police Department Officer, Lt. Earl Clark who he named as the killer. Once again, beyond that you had credible witnesses that named members of a Special Forces team who didn't have to act because the contract killer succeeded, with plausible denial, a Mafia contracted killer".^[3]

Author Jim Douglass attended the trial and commented:

This historic trial was so ignored by the media that, apart from the courtroom participants, I was the only person who attended it from beginning to end. What I experienced in that courtroom ranged from inspiration at the courage of the Kings, their lawyer-investigator William F. Pepper, and the witnesses, to amazement at the government's carefully interwoven plot to kill Dr. King. The seriousness with which US intelligence agencies planned the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. speaks eloquently of the threat King and nonviolence represented to the powers that be in the spring of 1968.^[4]

Jowers died from a heart attack on May 20, 2000, at the age of 73

Detective 1st Lt. Stephen Sipes

LANSING, MI — The commander of the Bay Area Narcotics Enforcement Team (BAYANET) has graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va.

Michigan State Police Detective 1st Lt. Stephen Sipes was among 260 students to graduate from the 251st session of the FBI National Academy. The 251st session consisted of men and women from 49 states, the District of Columbia, 29 international countries, four military organizations and six federal civilian organizations.

Human Rights Are Beyond Politics -- Justice Should Be Too

12/24/2012

As we look into the New Year, it is also time to look back and see which governments might free a prisoner or two due to the decline of age or ill health. With honoring the traditions that are represented by a holiday that celebrates a religious figure who focused on forgiveness, love, and redemption, it seems a perfect time to look inward to the United States and outward to another country and to make a single recommendation for each one.

My suggestions for the USA is to finally let Leonard Peltier, who after thirty six years in jail, go home. Convicted in a trial with more procedural and witness issues than would possibly be permitted today, he has served more than enough time to reckon with any sentiment of justice. Multiple murderers have been released more quickly than Peltier and numerous human rights groups internationally have called for his release for two decades. His health is currently frail and the circumstances of his extradition to the United States and prosecution here was, charitably put, questionable. His history brings to mind the wars against the American Indians by white settlers bent on enforcing the delusion of Manifest Destiny even at the price of genocide. Peltier was(is) and Indian traditionalist. He helped defend those ways in a showdown where two FBI against were unquestionably killed, though likely not by him.

Shaky evidence helped convict Peltier for the shooting deaths, but he has always maintained his innocence. He was a member of the American Indian Movement(AIM), a group who believed that standing up for the past as well as the present was important. Not all American Indians joined or supported this movement but AIM was firm in their ways of keeping their own authority with regard to maintaining their cultures and their languages. In the early 70's , many of us in positions to do so gave both material and political support to this movement. Now regardless of how either side of this debate has felt in the past, it is time to say enough already. 36 years suffices for any one with suspicious trial circumstances. His health is failing. He should not die in jail. Our newly re-elected President can free him at this time. It would be gracious and uplifting to all Indian people throughout the Americas, North Central and South. It would be an overdue step to reconciling the indigenous peoples of this land with this nation that claims freedom and liberty for all. Isn't this the time for reconciliation and forgiveness?

Internationally, I'd plead for a commuted sentence for Chen Shui-bian, the former democratically elected two-term President of Taiwan. For four years, his health needs were systematically neglected by the present government of Ma Ying-jeou. Confined to a tiny cell for twenty three hours a day with another cellmate (who had other options to be outside of the cell). He was confined to a cell without a bed, table, shower, or flush toilet. Complaining frequently of illness to the prison authority, he was ignored or dismissed as having "only the flu." Ignoring for a moment the fact that flu viruses are worthy of treatment when one is incarcerated in close quarters, the fact of the matter is that his treatment and appropriate diagnosis wasn't taken seriously even with ten consecutive days of 180+ systolic blood pressure measurements. With medical care limited to flash visits and incredibly quickly rushed tests outside of the prison, but never adhered to modern neutral medical standards of care. After delay and deferral, Mr. Chen's physical and mental health collapsed significantly to the point that he had a number of mini-strokes to his once prodigious wit. He entered a phase of severe depression, slurred speech, and several identified brain blockages.

Finally receiving limited treatment, all bills are being passed on to his already burdened family as prisoners are exempted from coverage by national health insurance (in spite of international standards making medical care for prisoners being the real and financial responsibility of the state for those is incarcerates). There is still a constant menace of being subject to a return to his prison cell regardless of physician recommendations and his years of poor medical care have put him in a condition of permanently damaged health and well-being. The use of a penal system to kill prisoners is an old and tired line of action by desperate regimes. With massive political divides existing between the Green-Blue divide, Chen's DPP (Green) is the only non-KMT government in Taiwan's post-colonial history and Ma's KMT seems to be backsliding towards an only-nominally multiparty system with punitive extractions of all-but-the-KMT (Blue). President Ma's abysmal approval ratings would likely get a substantive lift to move towards reconciliation across this bridge if he would show the courage and honor of commuting a sentence or allowing a real medical parole.

US Soldier Suicides Outnumber Combat Deaths In 2012

December 28, 2012 10:25 AM

Suicides continue to increase in the military, as they outnumber combat-related deaths in Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON (CBS DC) – American soldier suicides continue to outnumber combat-related deaths in 2012, and the trajectory for soldier suicides continues to get worse.

Statistics released by the Department of the Army show that through November potentially 303 active-duty, Reserve and National Guard soldiers committed suicide. As of Dec. 7, Stars and Stripes reports that 212 soldiers have died in combat-related deaths in Afghanistan.

The Army set a grim new record of 177 potential active-duty cases with 2012 coming to a close on Tuesday – 64 of these cases remain under investigation, 113 have been confirmed.

In June of this year, The Pentagon reported there had been at least 154 suicides among active-duty troops – a rate of nearly one each day. The number of suicides continues to increase despite numerous new training and awareness programs put into effect in the past few years.

TOP FBI AGENT IN L.A. PLACED ON LEAVE: Sources say division chief Jim Sheehan is being transferred to Washington after the suicide of his former girlfriend, a colleague.
Los Angeles Times
By Greg Krikorian And Christine Hanley
February 3, 2005

The head of the FBI's criminal division in Los Angeles has been placed on administrative leave pending a reassignment to the bureau's headquarters, law enforcement sources said Wednesday.

The transfer of veteran FBI Special Agent in Charge Jim Sheehan comes amid an internal investigation into the recent suicide of a longtime agent, Wendy Woskoff, with whom Sheehan had been romantically involved until several months ago, sources said.

Woskoff, 54, died of a self-inflicted gunshot Jan. 23 at her Santa Monica home. A 24-year veteran of the FBI, Woskoff was most recently assigned to an intelligence squad in the Los Angeles division.

FBI Agent Commits Suicide in Maine

By Allan Lengel

ticklethewire.com

The FBI wasn’t saying much last week about the suicide of an FBI agent, who shot himself in the Portland, Maine area over the weekend of April 24, according to sources.

FBI agent Greg Comcowich, a spokesman for the Boston FBI Division, which includes Maine, told the ticklethewire.com:

“The type of question which you are inquiring (about)is not something the FBI would comment on.”

Last year, an FBI agent assigned to Quantico committed suicide.

FBI harassed Deputy AG who committed suicide last year

Published: Thursday, March 31, 2011, 3:53 PM Updated: Thursday, March 31, 2011, 4:31 PM

By Bob Martin, Editor & Publisher

A Deputy Alabama Attorney General, who committed suicide last Nov. 5th was being harassed by two FBI agents who mistakenly thought he was trying to help Milton McGregor.

Officials in the AG’s office confirmed that fact and also the tragic self-inflicted death last December after the The Independent submitted questions to them. The agents, both involved in the investigation of McGregor and the current gaming legislation issue, were Keith Baker and John H. McEachern, III.

The Deputy AG, Robert William “Bob” Caviness, was in the process of conducting a background check on an individual with the last name of McEachern, who lived in the Auburn-Opelika area. It was a matter involving worker’s comp fraud.

The Independent was told by the AG’s office that Agents Baker and McEachern became suspicious when they found out through the state’s computer data base that someone in the Attorney General’s office was conducting the search involving McEachern’s name.

Body of Missing Retired FBI Agent Found in Texas: Homicide or Suicide?

The body of a missing retired FBI agent was found in Waller County, Texas late last week near her car, the Waller County News Citizen reported.

The paper said unconfirmed reports indicated Patricia Durney had suffered a bullet wound to the head. It said authorities were trying to determine whether it was a homicide or suicide. Her body was found Thursday, one day after she was reported missing.

A comment from the sheriff’s department made it sound as if they were leaning toward suicide.
