Note that in addition to propping up Quisling centers at expense of the tribal periphery, we will be fanning the fires of the sectarian warfare and killing gobs of innocents with more signature strikes (note dependency on “technical collection”).

Drones for “Regime Protection”

The CIA’s insurance plan for Karzai and Maliki—and what it means for Syria

By PHILIP GIRALDI, American Conservative, May 1, 2013

Media reports of CIA preparations to use drones to target al-Qaeda-linked rebels in Syria, should the post-Assad situation warrant such an intervention, are only party correct. The plan to use drones under certain circumstances is in reality part of the much larger CIA program in Iraq that parallels the program being set up in Afghanistan. CIA initiatives in both countries are related to what is being mandated by the National Security Council as a policy of “regime survival” to help keep in place governments that are at least nominally friendly to Washington and that will be dependent on American technology and intelligence resources for the foreseeable future to maintain their own security. The CIA will bear the brunt of the two operations, as it can do so without a highly visible military footprint. In Iraq it includes, among other elements, the continued training of something akin to an elite counter-terrorism Praetorian Guard to protect senior officials while also advancing efforts against a growing Salafist presence in the country, linked to resurgent Sunni terrorism that is attempting to weaken the government of Nouri al-Maliki. The Obama administration is hoping to develop a level of cooperation with the Iraqi government that will enable the identification of extremist elements, some of which are taking the opportunity to transit into Syria. They are a threat to what are perceived to be the long-term interests of America and Iraq’s Shia government. Those who are identified as al-Qaeda-linked militants could become drone targets in Syria, if the situation in that country deteriorates.

G. I. Wilson: Intelligence Lessons Learned in Boston — and the Lack of Honest Competent Counterintelligence in the USA

07 Other Atrocities, 09 Terrorism, Corruption, Government, Idiocy, Ineptitude, Law Enforcement

Seems some of the same old flaws we have highlighted for years…hoarding info giving a false sense of power, no appreciation of the value of OSINT- social media, and silo's of information concordant with age old turf sequestration. DNI has done little to reduce the overall intel community's friction but added to it…makes me believe the intel community has way too many layers and internal bureaucracies to be effective…too big to function but big enough to fail dramatically,yet, not change…..no organizational learning…we never learn we never learn.

Intelligence Lessons From the Boston Attacks

Scott Helfstein

Foreign Affairs, April 23, 2013

Last week’s attack at the Boston Marathon, like the attempted car bombing of Times Square almost three years ago, shows that the line between local conflicts and global ones has become thinner. Faisal Shahzad, the would-be terrorist in 2010, had legally lived in the United States for seven years and had earned citizenship the year before hatching his plot. He would later say that he was inspired to carry out the attack by the radical Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, but the United States discovered that the plot had, in fact, been organized and possibly financed by an extremist group called the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which usually targets the Pakistani state and military. The organization’s attempt to strike in the United States showed that its own distinction between the near and far enemy had become increasingly blurred.

Josh Kilbourn: Citizen Overview of Boston False Flag Anomalies & Many Links

Corruption, Government, Ineptitude, Law Enforcement, YouTube

One citizens tears the official narrative apart — completely.

Published on Apr 23, 2013

IF it is true that the FBI called the brothers to inform them they were suspects, why did they do that instead of picking them up for questioning, when Djohar was at school? It seems that the authorities wanted there to be a manhunt and a lockdown. And besides that, there are a lot of things about the official narrative that don't add up.

Many links from YouTube posting are below the video.

Owl: Boston Narrative Unravels Further….

Corruption, Government, Ineptitude, Law Enforcement, Media

The Boston bomber official “narrative” just keeps on keeping on falling apart, and virtually on a daily basis. After the full article below, I have put a commentary from someone else drawing parallels between 9/11 and the Boston bombing.

Boston Terror Narrative Starts Falling Apart

Chechen Brothers Did NOT Rob 7-11

We have no idea whether or not the Chechen brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were the Boston terrorists.

But several parts of the official narrative are already falling apart.

Owl: From Boston with Love — Police TV House to House

Ineptitude, Law Enforcement

Here's what may be called “Police State TV” – a new but an increasingly popular TV genre, brought to you by Youtube and a house owner in Boston during the bombings:

WATERTOWN, MA — On Friday, April 19, 2013, during a manhunt for a bombing suspect, police and federal agents spent the day storming people's homes and performing illegal searches. While it was unclear initially if the home searches were voluntary, it is now crystal clear that they were absolutely NOT voluntary. Police were filmed ripping people from their homes at gunpoint, marching the residents out with their hands raised in submission, and then storming the homes to perform their illegal searches.”

Berto Jongman: Online Trackers, Inaccurate Assumptions, Dangers

Commerce, Ineptitude

Online tracking debate heats up after flaws exposed

North Carolina resident Dan Tynan has taken a stand against marketing companies that track his movements online by exposing the comical inaccuracies of the data they collect.

After noticing several ads for mobile phones for the elderly as he browsed the web, Tynan discovered that hundreds of marketers were tracking his every move and coming to inaccurate conclusions about his identity.

“Some thought I was a soccer mom and some thought I was a trendy homemaker,” says Tynan, who is clearly neither.

Privacy advocates warn collecting data about individuals through the web could be dangerous, for instance because it could enable groups like insurance companies to make assumptions that could hurt consumers.

Meanwhile, US policymakers have been debating a series of proposals labelled Do Not Track, which would enable internet users to turn off online ad tracking.

But the Direct Marketing Association, which represents online marketers, says most internet users know they are being tracked online and find the ads helpful.

In light of this blog post, it is evident the official versions of this event is losing more and more and more credibility. If they are lying about how the older brother died, what else are they lying about?

This blogger poses some pointed questions that imply the police account of the death of the oldest Boston marathon bomber is a fraudulent one. While this blogger makes no effort to offer a conspiracy theory positioned from a larger context, other than indicate the cops may be merely covering up their trigger-happy engagement with the suspect, his observation and other questions, at the very end of the post, provides further material for those of us concerned about a wider false-flag conspiracy committed by the US federal government.

If he died from the cop's trigger-happy shooting, why does the autopsy picture of the suspect not show him riddled Swiss cheese-like with many more bullets than is evident in the photo? It seems only a limited number of bullets (or “multiple”, as the MD says below), plus bomb blast shrapnel, killed him. The MD below also said his body was not disintegrated, which one would expect of a human body hit by a barrage of bullets coming from many guns. Unfortunately, the blogger says nothing about this. The autopsy picture is reproduced above.
