COMMENT: IMHO, incredibly irresponsible behavior by UK judicial system. However, I really wonder whether USG will really degrade the special relationship because I suspect it would be cutting our nose off to spite our face. While I think we have clear dominance in some intelligence disciplines and coverages, I also think the UK dances rings around us in others. Marcus

Journal: USA Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians

Uncategorized

COMMENT: I know senior retired military officers who object to highlighting political corruption and ethical shortfalls. Marcus

Phi Beta Iota: Sadly, the raw fact is that until we get the truth on the table and achieve transparency, the corrupt few will continue to be a cancer in the body politic. Judicial Watch is a serious accredited non-profit and renders a public service. This is a time de-limited list, focused on the current “public servants” in power, and it therefore does not include the many equally pernicious qualified individuals from the other party monopolizing the power to loot the public purse. Visit the source to read the full indictment for names as listed.

Phi Beta Iota: We first displayed a post on the US cheating others with gold wrapped around tungsten on 18 November 2009, at Journal: Fake Gold Bars from China to India, Made in the USA–Federal Reserve and Bank of NY Accused–Meanwhile, Prison Planet and Bullion Vault Say No. The story is now resurfacing, and in the course of looking it over (with some skepticism, but confident that the matter has not been properly investigated by the US Government which is evidently culpable on multiple fronts.

Is the Dollar “Good as Tungsten”? (FOFAO,November 15, 2009)

This is the best overall summary we have found, with devastating looks at Larry Summers' past published speculation on how manipulating the gold price downwards could improve the value of Treasury issues, the connections with Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin–it all hangs together and is elegantly brought together.

Journal: Who Over-Rode State to Allow Xmas Bomber?

Government, Law Enforcement

photo tarpley new — Webster Griffin Tarpley

MR. KENNEDY: We — as I mentioned in my statement, Mr. Chairman, if we unilaterally revoked a visa — and there was a case recently up — we have a request from a law enforcement agency to not revoke the visa.

We came across information; we said this is a dangerous person. We were ready to revoke the visa. We then went to the community and said, should we revoke this visa?

And one of the members — and we'd be glad to give you that out of — in private — said, please do not revoke this visa. We have eyes on this person. We are following this person who has the visa for the purpose of trying roll up an entire network, not just stop one person.

Phi Beta Iota: Emphasis added. Source: 27 Jan 2010 Hearing. DNI was probably NOT consulted, but he is the responsible authority for the rat's next. Not only does the public need to know who over-rode visa cancellation, but we still have not seen the public appearance of the man who took the video of the incident and we still believe there is a strong Israeli false-flag element that has not been properly investigated. “Heads will roll,” Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas to all.
