Owl: YouTube (5:50): Suspects Leave WITH Backpacks, Craft Paramilitary Contractors Run Out WITHOUT Backpacks

Who?  Who?
Who? Who?

Since the start of this I have had the persistent feeling or hunch that this did not go as planned by Government false flaggers. One reason for this nagging feeling is that maybe they had more bombs – experimental nukes? – that did not go off, since every new technology is prone to fail until bugs get worked out. Maybe with more horrific death and destruction they could have brought about a dictatorship imposition agenda? But the aggregated Phi Beta Iota explanation may better account for why I've had this feeling, especially if we factor in the lack of amputation confirmation and the presence of actors. If they wanted it to be a lot worse I don't think they would use actors and fake amputees, which would require planning to include. But if the PBI collective is right, this could be a very dangerous next couple of weeks in the Republic, because if these killers, the ones who did the Kennedys and MLK, 911, etc., are afraid of being outed due to their over-reach here, they may feel compelled to use a major mass casualty option, neutron bombs, gas attacks, over large urban areas, for starters? In light of the astonishing article posted by Gordon Duff, they are certain to get Israeli blacks ops renegades involved in any such an initiative. If so though, they don't have much time to make it happen. They will have to hit very hard or face the music, unless, of course, the American people go back into their usual comatose state with “Dancing With the Stars” and baseball.

Anatomy of a False Flag

By Stephen Lendman – Posted on 21 April 2013

False flags are an American tradition. They go way back. The Boston bombings appear the latest. More on that below.

Notable earlier false flags or incidents approximating them include:

In 1845, America lawlessly annexed Texas. It was Mexican territory. President James Polk deployed US troops. A future president led them. General Zachary Taylor paraded them along the disputed border.

In May 1846, Polk told cabinet officials that if Mexican forces retaliated, he'd ask Congress to declare war. He wanted it whether or not Mexico attacked. After an incident occurred, Polk told Congress:

“Mexico has passed the boundary of the US and shed American blood on American soil.” The Mexican War followed.

SchwartzReport: Whistleblowing is Treason

07 Other Atrocities, 11 Society, Corruption, Government, Idiocy, Law Enforcement, Military

schwartz reportIn my view history is going to condemn the Obama Administration as one of the most destructive in the country's history for three reasons: Its disregard for personal privacy, with the resultant surveillance state we now have; its absolute attempt to stop whistle blowers from revealing the corruption and incompetence that is so rife in our government; and its complete unwillingness to hold villains accountable if they are big and rich. ! The combination of these three things is destroying people's faith in the American system, as poll after poll makes clear.

Whistleblowing Now Akin to Treason
MARCY WHEELER – Salon

When Thomas Drake, then an official at the National Security Agency, realized that the agency’s decision to shut down an internal data analysis program and instead outsource the project to a private contractor provided the government with less effective analysis at much higher cost, he tried to do something about it. Drake’s decision to join three other whistleblowers in asking the agency’s inspector general to investigate ultimately made him the target of a leak investigation that tore his life apart.

In 2005, the inspector general of the Department of Defense, of which NSA is a part, confirmed the whistleblowers’ accusations of waste, fraud and security risk.

Earlier this year, former NSA Director Michael Hayden even conceded that TrailBlazer, the program for which the NSA paid over $1 billion to the Science Applications International Corporation, had failed. The agency, after killing its own program (called ThinThread) ‘outsourced how we gathered other people’s communications,” he said in response to a question from investigative journalist Tim Shorrock. ‘And that was a bridge too far for industry. We tried a moonshot, and it failed.”

Nevertheless, Drake’s efforts to expose that waste and abuse would ultimately lead to his being charged under the 1917 Espionage Act – a law intended for the prosecution of spies, not whistleblowers.

Drake, a subject of a new documentary, War on Whistleblowers: Free Press and the National Security State, could have been put away for the rest of his life. ‘Speaking truth to power is now a criminal act,” Drake told filmmaker Robert Greenwald.

This is a gifted script ably presented. The specific details of false flag actions by US, Russia, Israel, and the United Kingdom are compelling. Excellent concluding focus on how the government has shifted its “anti-terrorist” focus toward gun owners, third parties, and civil libertarians.

Phi Beta Iota: We have never, in our history, watched a more professional, more specific, and more timely call to arms for public intelligence in the public interest. This seven minute video is the cyber-equivalent of Bunker Hill. James Corbett, from Japan.  Utterly extraordinary.  The line is drawn.

Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Acquisition: Issues for Congress, April 16, 2013

Summary

Increasing calls for intelligence support and continuing innovations in intelligence technologies combine to create significant challenges for both the executive and legislative branches. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems are integral components of both national policymaking and military operations, including counterterrorism operations, but they are costly and complicated and they must be linked in order to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of issues based on information from all sources.

Relationships among organizations responsible for designing, acquiring, and operating these systems are also complicated, as are oversight arrangements in Congress. These complications have meant that even though many effective systems have been fielded, there have also been lengthy delays and massive cost overruns. Uncertainties about the long-term acquisition plans for ISR systems persist even as pressures continue for increasing the availability of ISR systems in current and future military operations and for national policymaking. These challenges have been widely recognized.

A number of independent assessments have urged development of “architectures” or roadmaps setting forth agreed-upon plans for requirements and acquisition and deployment schedules. Most observers would agree that such a document would be highly desirable, but there are significant reasons why developing such an architecture and gaining an enduring consensus remain problematic.

Winslow Wheeler: Pentagon’s budget realities mandate new Defense team

The tired old ideas in SecDef Hagel's first defense budget make clear that he needs new thinking from his DOD team, or a new team.

Pentagon's budget realities mandate new Defense team

By Winslow T. Wheeler – 04/16/13 07:25 PM ET

President Obama's budget for the Department of Defense for 2014 is a strange document. As if to justify its disconnect from reality, someone in the administration advertised it to the press as basic to Obama's overall negotiations with Republicans. If true, that does not augur well for needed change in the Pentagon.

What the Defense budget request really shows is that there is no new thinking in the Pentagon for putting defense spending on a constructive path. There is not even anything that promises a departure from the last-minute, hysterical decision making we observed in the denouement of the 2013 defense budget process.

As submitted, the new Defense plan simply wishes away the statutory reality of sequestration, and to pretend to save money, it trots out only tired old ideas.
