Demanding Truth, Justice and Accountability in Government

The Shadow Government

Reed31463

Huffington Post had a story up about CNN censorship which I largely ignored. But then I happened across this story today on Raw Story. Now my interest is piqued again, so I ACTUALLY watched the video, then it hit me...

Why does this story keep coming back? It may seem small on the surface at first, but after a little research, it then takes a wild turn into the unbelievable. But before the full story blasts to the surface, censorship comes from the highest levels. Here are a few tips of the iceberg that surface and disappear: Ken Mehlman (newest), Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, Dennis Hastert, Jeff Gannon, Karl Rove, Porter Goss & Co, Duke Cunningham, Wade & Wilkes.....

So why does this story keep coming up? I'll tell you why, because it is true! It is exploitation and manipulation at the highest levels of our governmemnt. IMHO it is the secret "Team B"

As part of the Halloween massacre Rumsfeld and Cheney pushed out CIA director William Colby and replaced him with George H.W. Bush, then the U.S. plenipotentiary to China. The CIA had been uncooperative with the Rumsfeld/Cheney anti-détente campaign. Instead of producing intelligence reports simply showing an urgent Soviet military buildup, the CIA issued complex analyses that were filled with qualifications. Its National Intelligence Estimate on the Soviet threat contained numerous caveats, dissents and contradictory opinions. From the conservative point of view, the CIA was guilty of groupthink, unwilling to challenge its own premises and hostile to conservative ideas.

The new CIA director was prompted to authorize an alternative unit outside the CIA to challenge the agency's intelligence on Soviet intentions. Bush was more compliant in the political winds than his predecessor. Consisting of a host of conservatives, the unit was called Team B. A young aide from the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, Paul Wolfowitz, was selected to represent Rumsfeld's interest and served as coauthor of Team B's report. The report was single-minded in its conclusion about the Soviet buildup and cleansed of contrary intelligence. It was fundamentally a political tool in the struggle for control of the Republican Party, intended to destroy détente and aimed particularly at Kissinger. Both Ford and Kissinger took pains to dismiss Team B and its effort. (Later, Team B's report was revealed to be wildly off the mark about the scope and capability of the Soviet military.)

Doesn't this sound familiar? Does the White House Iraq Group strike a chord?

Now you may ask, "Where is this guy going with this and what does the WHIG have to do with Bill Maher and a gay Ken Mehlman?" First let me make a prediction, Bill Maher will come under trememdous pressure to NOT make good with his promise to Larry King on Larry King Live for his friday night show.

Now, why do I make this prediction? Because this very same scenario happened over a decade ago. The first three minutes of this fifty five minute video will explain it all.

I believe that this group is fully intact and continues to operate today from within our government and outside of government controls. They use all of the known tactics: fear, exploitation, manipulation, spying, and censorship. It is their inability to censor blogs that makes bloggers so dangerous.

So tune into Bill Maher's show and see if he actually says what he alluded to on Larry King Live Wednesday night. If he does, I will be surprised.

Beautiful.

Exquisitely crafted with a hope-filled center. It was good to read "old" quotes and relive them again. Thanks for a very inspirational and superbly-honed diary.

Rusty is Keith Olbermann spelled backward.

Comment # 4 ~ Alma ~ 10/26/2006 19:29 GMT

Rusty just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work.

Comment # 5 ~ keenekarl ~ 10/27/2006 01:35 GMT

YES! Rusty, YES! - YES! YES! YES!

The GOP definitely has created a sordid tradition of making the richest richer at the expense of everyone and everything.

Comment # 7 ~ topperfalls ~ 10/27/2006 04:29 GMT

great stuff, but what on earth can we do about these backward states like Tennessee that dont care what Bush does and just vote Repub because theyre anti abortion or whatever...stupid America always seems to trump smart America...and these voting machines have me totally freaked out...

Comment # 8 ~ Rusty ~ 10/29/2006 22:27 GMT

We have big problems to fix all over the place, Topperfalls. No doubt about it.

Comment # 9 ~ Truthinaction ~ 10/30/2006 03:42 GMT

topperfalls, we cannot let the criminal antics stop us from moving forward. At some point this kabal will reveal itself, as you notice it is doing more and more each day. For extra ideas about what to do before the election, go to www.blackboxvoting.org and look up some of what they recommend to ensure the voting process is fair, or to be able to take steps if it is not and you have observed such. They have a lot that you can learn there.

#3, Reed, I wholeheartedly agree. Rusty you're awesome.
