James O’Keefe, left, and Stan Dai leave the St. Bernard Parish jail in Taxi cab.

I just finished reading a story about how CIA agents are moonlighting in the corporate world for companies like Goldman Sachs and other big names on Wall Street. It was a great read, I laughed my way through every word (and all four pages), then I stumble onto “Gumbo-gate“:

Last week’s breakin at Senator Mary Landrieu’s office in the New Orleans Federal Building was more than it seemed, much more.  All of the 4 arrested had been trained by the CIA and, possibly, Israel.  One arrested, Stan Dai, is listed as an Operations Officer of the Department of Defense Irregular Warfare Program and  a known expert and lecturer on, not only surveillance but explosives training, assassinations and “false flag operations.”  If you wanted a plane to crash, an enemy to get sick and die or a building to blow up, Dai would be the man to know how to make it happen.  Problem is, his skills were being used as part of a criminal conspiracy inside the United States against members of our own government.

Any body remember James O’Keefe from the ACORN Affair? Using a hidden camera, O’Keefe, accompanied by a young woman posing as a prostitute, shot videos in various ACORN offices where staffers appeared to offer illegal tax advice and to support the misuse of public funds and illegal trafficking in children.

The independent filmmaker who brought ACORN to its knees last year with an undercover expose was arrested this week along with three others, including the son of a federal prosecutor, and accused of trying to interfere with the phones at Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office. [Keep Reading...]

Yes, that’s our man, James O’Keefe, the conservative filmmaker who dressed as a pimp to sting the activist group ACORN. If he is convicted, he’ll no doubt tread the well-worn path of previous Republican criminals like Liddy and North and Colson. I expect he’ll have his own talk show within a few years.

FBI Special Agent Steven Rayes alleges that O’Keefe aided and abetted two others, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, who dressed up as employees of a telephone company and attempted to interfere with the office’s telephone system. The FBI’s affidavit noted that Flanagan and Basel were in the building with O’Keefe, and a federal law enforcement official confirmed to AP that Dai was the one in the car.

Mr. Stan Dai was picked up in a car that was parked a few blocks away. He had a “covert receiver” with him which one can safely assume was being used to record the office bugs his buddies were attempting plant on the phone lines into the Senator’s office. One political commentary by Gordon Duff refer to this Dai person as “a highly trained operative” which put into my head the image of a middle-aged man sitting in a nondescript white van.

Dai, an immigrant from China, was president of the Conservative Student Union at George Washington University. In 2008, he was assistant director of an intelligence community “center for academic excellence” at Trinity Washington University.

“Stan Dai was a junior program administrator for one year in a grant-funded program at Trinity Washington University,” Ann Pauley, media relations director at Trinity Washington University. “The program was called the Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence (ICCAE).

Is it a conspiracy yet?

The arrest of Dai, has raised questions conspiracy and possible involvement of foreign governments all over the Internet. But a quick look a this this kid’s photo reveals he is still wet behind the ears, which makes me laugh when I read “highly trained operative.” Who are we kidding here?

In college, Stan Dai co-wrote a satirical work entitled The Penis Monologues, apparently a takeoff on the Vagina Monologues. I don’t know which is scarier. That the CIA would be involved in something like this. Or that the people they train are this stupid. A CIA trained operative tries to bug a senators office and records what he’s doing with a cell phone camera?

The CIA doesn’t teach its operatives how to hide a camera?

Walter Sobchak: You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me.
  There are ways, Dude. You dont wanna know about it, believe me.
The Dude: Yeah, but Walter...
Walter Sobchak: Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 oclock this
  afternoon... with nail polish. These fucking amateurs...

ummm…

why in hell would they want to tap Landrieu’s office for anyway?

As a series of reports called “The Family Jewels” reveal, the CIA has violated its charter from the 1950s onward. The reports reveal the CIA engaged in kidnapping, illegal wiretapping, surveillance of newspaper journalists, break-ins and warrantless entries, mail opening, assassination, amassing files on antiwar activists (Project RESISTANCE, Project MERRIMAC and Operation CHAOS), forging ID and documents in violation of state laws, and testing of electronic equipment on U.S. telephone circuits.

Knowing the history of the CIA has lead some to question whether or not these fools acting alone or if they were recruited by the CIA (or a foreign government) to wire-tap the Senator office in the New Orleans.

Operatives recruited in universities and managed thru conservative think tanks receive paid “vacations” to Israel and elsewhere, places where they are trained in silent killing, use of poisons, explosives and other potentially useful skills whether their career is in intelligence or politics.  As with other terrorist suspects such as those who travel to Afghanistan for their training, these domestic types are funded covertly through the US government but, as we see in New Orleans, rented out to either Israel, India or the Republican party.

Is it a conspiracy let?

Last week, Veterans Today outlined the many high security projects being monitored from Senator Landrieu’s office which included, not only terrorist money laundering and other security issues but investigations targeting tens of billions of dollars being hidden offshore illegally by Americans, many with ties to Israel.

I don’t know about Israel, aren’t they busy harvesting organs in Haiti right now? Let see, who else could be behind this conspiracy? I can see this being tied to drug money.  Everyone knows drug money saved banks in global crisis, maybe those Wall Street boy don’t want the world to know $352 Billion in criminal proceeds was effectively laundered by their financial institutions. Wait… we already know that… damn….  then again, maybe this whole thing is just a false flag op to make conservatives look bad.

But seriously, was this a highly trained CIA domestic black-op team?

or just a botched job by dumb and dumber?

If they were recruited–perhaps both–at least that is one theory. But wait a second, patsies don’t work as a team do they? Even the Watergate burglars had fake ID’s. And what was this crap about using a cell phone to capture the whole thing on video? No, these fools are way too obtuse to be either CIA or patsies. Sorry, I don’t buy it.

What do you think Wo?

I think Walter Sobchak nailed it.

Seven CIA agents were killed and six wounded in an Afgah suicide attack

Blackwater (Xe Services/CIA operatives) Among Dead in Suicide Bombing

Two of the seven “CIA officers” killed in Afghanistan on Dec. 30 were Blackwater contractors.  The CIA considered the Blackwater mercenaries to be CIA officers.  A former top CIA officer says that the agency and Blackwater have developed a “brotherly relationship” and that the mercenary group has become “an extension of the agency.”

Blackwater has officially changed its name to “Xe Services” but everybody still calls it “Blackwater,” so I will too. One has to wonder if these spies of fortune had to take an oath of office, or if they were subject to the same rules and laws that apply to real CIA agents.  I doubt it.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Two of the CIA workers killed in Afghanistan were private contractors with the security company formerly known as Blackwater.

An obituary released Wednesday for 35-year-old Jeremy Wise said he was a former Navy SEAL from Virginia Beach, Va., who was working with the company now known as Xe. MindyLou Paresi of Dupont, Wash., said in an interview with The News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., that her husband, 46-year-old Dane Clark Paresi, was also a Xe contractor who was killed. ~news.yahoo.com

A few weeks ago, a federal judge dismissed criminal charges against five guards working for the security firm Blackwater who were accused of killing 17 unarmed Iraqi civilians. The killings strained US-Iraq relations and sparked an outcry over the military’s use of private contractors. Mercenary security guards like the ones who just skated in federal court are not subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, as the Baghdad slaughter case Judge Urbina just threw out clearly illustrates.

In a separate case, federal prosecutors in North Carolina, where the company is based, are investigating whether executives engaged in a broad array of criminal activities, including weapons smuggling, money laundering and tax evasion, according to lawyers and others familiar with the inquiry. ~NYtimes.com

The Jordanian suicide bomber was likely a doctor the CIA employeed to oversee the prisoners in the CIA secret prison in Jordan prior to being recruited as a CIA field agent. His cover story was he was jailed in Jordan where he was recruited by the Jordanian Intelligence organization.

The bomber was a source who came to the base camp in Khost near the Pakistan border for a meeting on December 30, a senior U.S. official also confirmed. The man had been used by both countries’ intelligence services in the past, and had provided information about high-value targets, the senior U.S. official said. ~CNN.com

It appears that Blackwater employees (working as CIA operatives) conducted a midnight raid in Afghanistan which resulted in the slaughter of a large number of Afghanistan children and young men. If the allegations are true, it constitutes a war crime of ominous proportions.  Afghan President Hamid Karzai has forcefully demanded that the US military hand over the perpetrators of an operation in which Special Operations forces were air-dropped outside of Ghazi Khan village in Kunar Province last week, who then took children ranging from ages as young as 11 to 18 from their beds, handcuffed them, and shot them.

President Karzai’s security chiefs have demanded that America should hand over the gunmen behind a night raid in eastern Afghanistan that government investigators and the United Nations say killed at least eight schoolchildren….

It is the first time that Mr Karzai has tried to hold foreign forces directly accountable for killing civilians, although he has issued impassioned responses to civilian casualties that threaten to undermine Nato’s mission in Afghanistan.

The question is: What caused the Jordanian MD, turned CIA field agent, to kill himself along with his fellow agents and former CIA base commander? Did the Jordanian MD know some of the murdered children?

Was the Jordanian MD’s children among those victims?

The midnight raid where handcuffed childern were killed appears to be the trigger the set-off the Jordanian MD. What else would cause a medical doctor to turn into a suicide bomber? What we do know is he suddenly decide to take his own life along with the lives of as many CIA agents and formerly named Blackwater employees as he could. We can only guess what his motives may have been, but I suspect this doctor was acting in retaliation for these childern murdered in cold-blood.

This war crime is chilling beyond imagination. And although all are innocent until found guilty, a weight of evidence and credible investigation has been established to warrant an independent investigation ordered by the President of the United States.

There are many questions which we should be asking.  First, who ordered the operation?  Did the commanders know at the time of planning that school children would be found, and included in the “targets?”  If not, once inside, were the executions the work of one or two rogue individuals, or did the entire unit proceed with orders?  Once recognized to be children, did any of the soldiers protest the orders, or refuse to obey them?

If this stands, the Empire has crossed an invisible line of no return, going from accidental deaths that are the needless result of a needless war, to the  institutionalized, cold-blooded murder of children.

War is a Racket by Smedley D. Butler

Via: ABC News:

As he justified sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan at a cost of $30 billion a year, President Barack Obama’s description Tuesday of the al Qaeda “cancer” in that country left out one key fact: U.S. intelligence officials have concluded there are only about 100 al Qaeda fighters in the entire country.

A senior U.S. intelligence official told ABCNews.com the approximate estimate of 100 al Qaeda members left in Afghanistan reflects the conclusion of American intelligence agencies and the Defense Department. The relatively small number was part of the intelligence passed on to the White House as President Obama conducted his deliberations.

President Obama made only a vague reference to the size of the al Qaeda presence in his speech at West Point, when he said, “al Qaeda has not reemerged in Afghanistan in the same number as before 9/11, but they retain their safe havens along the border.”

A spokesperson at the White House’s National Security Council, Chris Hensman, said he could not comment on intelligence matters.
