OUTFOXED :Rupert Murdoch's
War on Journalism











Outfoxed examines how media empires, led by
Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a
"race to the bottom" in television news. This film
provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the
dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking
control of the public's right to know.

The Pentagon, a building, institution, and
symbol, was conceived at the request of
Brigadier General Brehon B. Sommervell,
Chief of the Construction Division of the
Office of the Quartermaster General, on a
weekend in mid-July 1941. The purpose was
to provide a temporary solution to the War
Department's critical shortage of space.
The ground breaking ceremony took place on
September 11, 1941. The building was
dedicated on January 15, 1943, nearly 16
months to the day after the ground breaking.

Legalize marijuana

In New York, we spend about $1 billion on marijuana
enforcement, not including long-term jailing. With a
$13 billion budget gap, why not save ourselves the
money and shift to a legalization, regulation and
taxation policies similar to that of alcohol? There
are also the documented health benefits afforded
to suffering AIDS and cancer patients forced to go
into a dangerous underground market to get what
many feel is their medicine. Luckily, New York is at
least taking the medicinal uses seriously, as shown
by bills in the Assembly (A0576) and Senate (S.
4041-A).

Contact your state legislators. Tell them we cannot
afford current marijuana laws, and urge them to
support their respective bills. As a person
acquainted with two people suffering from cancer, I
believe it's a shame they cannot legally obtain a
drug that has been shown to improve the quality of
life while they go through their treatments.

Should the World Bring Bush and
Cheney to Trial?

Vincent Bugliosi has expressed recent exasperation
over the issue of torture being mentioned currently
with greater frequency over what the former L.A.
County prosecutor believes to be the key issue over
which George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should face
trial -- murder.

Bugliosi's concern, through which he urges action
from an American prosecutorial body to bring Bush
and Cheney to trial, could be directly addressed
through the international tribunal of the International
Court of Justice at The Hague.
A reputable source of keeping up to date about the
number of Iraqi civilians killed since the initial "shock
and awe"- attacks on Baghdad ordered by Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld prior to occupying that
city and the nation of Iraq is Just Foreign Policy. This
informative site provides international detailed
analysis of significant events throughout the world.
Just Foreign Policy publishes numbers based on the
highly respected international medical journal The
Lancet. According to The Lancet's detailed continuing
study, supportive evidence of which is supplied by
Just Foreign Policy, the current death figure is much
higher than that reported by America's mainstream
media on those rare occasions when any such
information is presented.

A current check of Just Foreign Policy reveals the
Iraqi civilian death toll following the U.S. invasion to
be 1,320,110. The continuing study of The Lancet
reveals that 600,000 Iraqi civilians had been killed by
July 2006 with the remainder of more than double
occurring
in the less than three years since then.

A major area of misunderstanding arising even
among progressives opposing the war has been the
labeling within the mainstream media and elsewhere
of the conflict as "pre-emptive war."- Under the rules
that governed the Nuremberg Trials, the UN Charter,
and other recognized international bodies,
pre-emptive war is international legal terminology for
legitimate self-defense and is permissible.

The rule governing pre-emptive war is akin to the
famous First Amendment principle enunciated in the
Supreme Court by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of
"clear and present danger."- Under the pre-emptive
war concept a nation faces reasonable imminent
threat from a foreign invader and under those
circumstances possesses a right to attack based on a
principle of self-defense.

Bush-Cheney propagandists have been successful in
being able to make the term pre-emptive war stick
when in reality the issue is that of preventive war,
which is clearly illegal under international law.

The brilliant two hour opening presentation by U.S.
Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson at the main
Nuremberg Trial involving the leading figures of Nazi
Germany was centered on connecting German Fuhrer
Adolf Hitler with specific plans to attack Poland and
England. Jackson sought to link Hitler and his regime
with European aggression through preventive war,
that which is indefensible under international law.

Recently there has been talk from certain UN sources
that if after that body's own investigation concludes
that U.S. leadership engaged in such aggressive
preventive war along with unjustifiable torture tactics
and the hunting down of victims without recourse to
the law, then arrests could be made on U.S. soil.

On this rationale such arrests could be made without
the U.S. government being involved in any way,
obviating any necessity of action on the part of
congressional bodies or U.S. courts.

Should George W. Bush be so approached in a
specific effort to arrest him under international law, it
has been noted that he is accompanied by armed U.S.
Secret Service agents to protect him.

To use a term from a sport President Barack Obama
loves to play and watch, basketball, "The ball would
be in his court"- and the crucial and ultimately
decisive question of whether he would be willing
under those circumstances to order Bush's Secret
Service detail to "stand down"- in the interest of
international law.

author: reposter















The US in the mad rush to create a
microwave surveillance society without
any public approval is going to kill off its
farmers--and its people--if the chipping
nonsense ever gets that far. Why? RFID
is cancerous. Detailed articles below.
This should be more well known both for
animal rights and human rights.
Moreover, it should be more well known
because Tommy Thompson is connected
to it--he's a suspect in 9-11 related
Cipro/Anthrax terrorism issues for the
Bush Administration.) Ban animal and
human chipping on health grounds if
human and animal rights issues aren't
good enough for you. To farmers,
various states are starting to require
you to chip your animals--this means you
are going to endanger and kill your
livestock, livelihoods, and yourself.
Spread the word. Forward to a farmer
you want to save. NO MORE 'CANCER
CHIPS.' SAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR
ANIMALS FROM 'CHIP CANCER.' It's
already illegal in Wisconsin as well as
California to force human chipping.

The next step is to save our pets, other
animals, and feedstock from excessive
cancer--that will get passed to the
consumer.

Once the consumer knows that RFID
chipping creates cancer, they will
DEMAND an unchipped food supply and
an unchipped child. Commentary

     Julian Assange Courageous
Hero or Terrorist?
    (FinalCall.com) - Had
    Julian Assange
    emerged in China, Iran
    or perhaps another
    country that the
    American government
    regards as
    authoritarian and
    repressive, he would
    probably be hailed as a
    courageous fighter
    against tyranny.



NEWS ANALYSIS
Since his revelations have stung the shapers of
American policies at home and abroad, he is
labeled an “anarchist,” a “terrorist” and Wikileaks,
the not-for-profit media organization he directs is
under attack.

Kimber Heinz, national organizing coordinator for
the New York based War Resisters League sees
the crackdown on Mr. Assange coming from U.S.
officials as another way of the U.S. creating a new
definition of terrorism to include anyone who
criticizes the American government's foreign or
domestic policy.

“Since U.S. policy is taking militarism up a notch
every chance it can get whether it be in our
communities or parts of central and south Asia then
anyone who is trying to work against that either by
releasing documents or working in organizations
against those policies is going to be labeled a
terrorist,” Ms. Heinz told The Final Call.

In a view shared by many across the globe, the
Nation of Islam's UK representative Hilary
Muhammad said the sexual assault charges against
Julian Assange are “trumped up.”

Mr. Muhammad said it brought tears to his eyes
when he saw Mr. Assange being taken into police
custody.

“He (Assange) reminded me of one who is following
in the footsteps of divine because he is willing to
pick up his cross and carry it. He has access to all
of that information knowing that it would serve the
public interests, and knowing in advance that he
would have governments opposing him. He still
was willing to take the responsibility of being
opposed by government to inform the masses,”
said Mr. Muhammad. “The information being
published is all in the public's interest, and when
you juxtapose that with the amount of gossip and
slander and false accusations—nothing that has
been published has been refuted as false,” he
added.

“It seems to me the reaction is kill the messenger,
forget the message,” said Hodari Abdul-Ali,
chairman of the Social Justice Task Force for the
Muslim Alliance in North America. “The political
witch-hunt against (Mr. Assange) is so
transparently ridiculous, I'm pretty sure it is going
to backfire,” he added.

As opposed to the controlled U.S. media which has
focused primarily on the case against Mr. Assange
and his arrest, foreign media such as Press TV, Al-
Jazeera and Der Spiegel are emphasizing the
actual details of the Wikileaks Cablegate files.

Activists like Mr. Abdul-Ali, Ms. Heinz and others
who monitor foreign media believe this is critical in
understanding the long-range impact of the
Wikileaks revelations.

“The outcry in non-U.S. countries is a lot louder and
a lot stronger than we see in the U.S.,” said Ms.
Heniz. “In other countries, the media is much more
focused on how the U.S. is handling it, but also
what the U.S. did and are holding the U.S.
accountable.”

There have also been numerous protests by anti-
censorship activists on behalf of Mr. Assange
worldwide. Internet activists have mounted denial
of service attacks against PayPal, Visa, MasterCard
and PostFinance, all financial institutions that cut
off Wikileaks' ability to receive donations from the
public.

Control of Africa detailed in files

Whether using religion, economics, or outright
racism, Western imperialism has always been on
display when it comes to its dealings with the
African continent.

Whether it is the British, the Americans or the
French, the West benefits from the land and
resources that exist in Africa, while the people
remain in poverty, ravaged by disease and mired in
wars.

Mr. Muhammad said the Wikileaks cables reveal a
modernization of the methods used to subdue the
African continent with the overarching goal of
continued hegemonic rule.

“These cables demonstrate that Africa is still under
Western control,” Mr. Muhammad told The Final
Call.

With Western powers still choosing Africa's
leaders, they manipulate internal organizations to
achieve their desired results and get rid of leaders
who are not compliant with their foreign policy
objectives, Mr. Muhammad said, adding that it is
simply the modern proof of an old Western strategy
of imperialism.

Neither Africans nor Blacks in the United States
should wait for an apology from the Western
powers, nor any sincere attempt to right historical
wrongs through reparations because the West still
benefits economically and politically, he said.

“Slavery never really ended,” said Mr. Muhammad.
“In their mind, they never stopped using and
abusing us. They never stopped, so how are you
going to apologize for something that you are still
doing? They never stopped so it's farcical for them
to apologize.”

Attempts at increased Western control and
influence in different parts of the globe appear
throughout the Wikileaks documents, however, the
desire to influence the political and military
realities in Africa are among the most glaring
examples of this dynamic at work.

Disparaging comments listed in Wikileaks files by
former U.S. Ambassador Chris Dell, who left Harare
in 2007, paint a troubling picture of America's view
of the situation in Zimbabwe.

Although named specifically in Mr. Dell's memos,
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai would not
comment on Amb. Dell's words about him in the
leaked cables. However, Rugare Gumbo, a
spokesman for President Robert Mugabe's ZANU-
PF party, said Amb. Dell's words were clear
evidence of “a regime change agenda” to oust Mr.
Mugabe and install a puppet leader to replace the
man who has led Zimbabwe for over 30 years.

Other cables from the U.S. State Department show
an interest in the agricultural policies in Burundi,
the Republic of Congo, and Rwanda, perhaps in
preparation for the export of genetically modified
foods and continued rape of the land and its
resources.

And the stories of corruption keep on coming:

Unrelated to Wikileaks but another example of the
U.S. and its insatiable appetite for oil and
resources, former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney
and the oil services firm Halliburton Co. has been
charged with 16 counts of bribery by Nigeria's anti-
corruption police.

Femi Babafemi a spokesman for Nigeria's Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, says Mr.
Cheney's firm allegedly paid $180 million to
government officials to win a contract to build a $6
billion natural gas plant in the oil-rich southern
delta.

The militarization of Africa via the U.S. Pentagon's
United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) starting
in October 2007 has been criticized since its
inception by activists and political commentators
citing another attempt at Western hegemonic
influence in the region.

In the Somalian conflict, the West ostensibly
supports an 8,000-strong African Union
peacekeeping mission charged with protecting the
embattled government operating out of the capital
of Mogadishu, however the insurgents have
continued to fight.

Wikileaks documents show Yemen's president Ali
Abdullah Saleh, telling top NATO commander
General David Petraeus that his country would
publicly state American missile strikes against a
supposed Al-Qaeda-linked group were conducted
by Yemen's own military forces, even though NATO
forces were behind the attacks.

Citing a cable he read in Wikileaks from a U.S.
diplomat to the Ukrainian government questioning
whether a shipment of tanks marked for Kenya was
in fact going to Sudan, in the correspondence, the
U.S. portrayed itself as an innocent dupe, when in
reality, it is the world's largest weapons supplier to
combatants in conflicts raging globally.

“America orchestrates all of these military
transactions,” said Mr. Abdul-Ali.“During this
comprehensive peace agreement, in Sudan, both
sides agreed not to rearm. But the United States
has been arming and facilitating the delivery of
arms through third parties like Chad or Israel in
order to escalate the military tension. It is shameful
and this is just one small incident in terms of how
America has conducted its foreign policy,” Mr.
Abdul-Ali added.

U.S. damage control efforts

While refusing to cite any specific examples, U.S.
Department of Defense spokesman Col. Dave
Lapan said there are indications that foreign
powers are “pulling back” from their dealings with
the U.S. following the release of diplomatic cables.

According to the Associated Press, Col. Lapan told
reporters “believing the U.S. is not good at
keeping secrets ... certainly changes things” and
“generally, there has been a retrenchment” in
cooperation.

After the U.S. halted talks with Israel regarding
continued West Bank settlement construction and
the resumption of peace talks with the Palestinians,
in somewhat critical remarks, Israel's Defense
Minister Ehud Barak told a parliamentary committee
the American government was too consumed with
Wikileaks fallout and increased tensions between
North and South Korea.

U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder said the U.S. had
been put at risk by the publication of the diplomatic
documents released by WikiLeaks and recently
announced the authorization of a criminal
investigation.

The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to
hold a Dec. 16 hearing on the potential application
of U.S. espionage laws and constitutional issues
raised by Wikileaks.

Although U.S. President Barack Obama and
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton initially attempted
to downplay the information revealed in the leaked
files, an embarrassing picture of American
“diplomacy” is emerging.

There is evidence to believe the Obama
administration is worried other damaging
information may come to light in subsequent weeks.

Mr. Abdul-Ali believes there is more to come and
for the U.S. government, the embarrassing
revelations are sure to continue.

“The United States empire is crumbling right in
front of us, and they have been—up until now—
successful in bullying countries through financial
institutions, through the military and through
cultural domination and on all her fronts, they are
being challenged in an unprecedented manner,”
said Mr. Abdul-Ali. “It's another example of how we
the people have to be vigilant, with regards to the
conduct of the American government. It is a wake-
up call around the world. Other governments
around the world are seeing this,” he added.
Obama’s Drone Escalation War Crime?











President Obama is pursuing a dangerous and
reckless course of action in Pakistan hoping to get
a lucky kill on a top level terrorist that he can turn
into political domestic advantage. While the Obama
administration is complaining about the Bush
administration giving a few admitted terrorists
some pain, his reckless policy of escalating drone
attacks in Pakistan has falsely claimed to have killed
many terrorists but instead has only inflamed the
Pakistani population against the U.S. Ironically his
decisions may put him at risk of being labeled a war
criminal by the international community.

In Jan. 13 the Atlanta Jewish Times featured a column
by its owner-publisher suggesting that Israel might
someday need to “order a hit” on the president of the
United States.
























In the column, publisher Andrew Adler describes a
scenario in which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
would need to “give the go-ahead for U.S.-based
Mossad agents to take out a president deemed
unfriendly to Israel.”

The purpose? So that the vice president could then
take office and dictate U.S. policies that would help
the Jewish state “obliterate its enemies.”

Adler wrote that it is highly likely that the idea “has
been discussed in Israel’s most inner circles.”

Numerous Jewish leaders quickly condemned Adler,
who has now apologized for the column, resigned,
and put the newspaper up for sale. An Israeli
columnist noted that the hatred being stirred up
against Obama is similar to conditions in Israel that
led to the murder of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin by a Jewish extremist.

Many of those criticizing Adler claim that he defamed
Israel by suggesting that it would ever do such a
thing. Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL),proclaimed: “There is absolutely no
excuse, no justification, no rationalization for this
kind of rhetoric. It doesn’t even belong in fiction.”

In reality, however, Adler’s expectation that Israel’s
inner circles have explored such a course of action,
and would be willing to undertake it, may be entirely
accurate. The fact is that Israel has killed and plotted
to assassinate people throughout the world; a
number have been Americans. One alleged plot was
chillingly similar to Adler’s suggestion.

There is evidence that in 1991 an Israeli undercover
team planned to assassinate a U.S. president. The
intended victim was George Herbert Walker Bush.

The first person to write of the plot was a former 11-
term Republican congressman from Illinois, Paul
Findley. In a 1992 article in the Washington Report for
Middle East Affairs, Findley described the alleged
scheme and how it was revealed.

Findley wrote that the U.S. Secret Service had
received a warning that elements of Israel’s spy
agency might target Bush when he went to Madrid for
the opening day of the peace conference to be held
that year.

According to Findley, a former Mossad agent named
Victor Ostrovsky, who had written a book exposing
Israel’s spy agency, told a group of Canadian
parliamentarians that he had received secret
intelligence suggesting that the “the Mossad’s hatred
of Bush — and support for Vice President Dan Quayle
— might lead to an attempt on the president’s life.”

Israel considered Quayle much closer to Israel than
Bush. Bush had particularly angered Israel by
attempting to pressure Israel into ending its illegal
settlement expansion on confiscated Palestinian land
by withholding loan guarantees until Israel ended this
practice.

Findley wrote that Ostrovsky’s statements were
relayed to Findley’s friend and former colleague Paul
“Pete” McCloskey, a prominent former Republican
congressman from California who had recently been
named by Bush to the National and Community
Service Commission.

McCloskey, a decorated Marine veteran and graduate
of Stanford Law School who had at one time been
considered a presidential contender, flew to Ottawa
to debrief Ostrovsky in person and evaluate his
information.

Findley reported that Ostrovsky told McCloskey that
the Mossad wanted “to do everything possible to
preserve a state of war between Israel and its
neighbors, assassinating President Bush, if
necessary.” Ostrovsky said that a PR campaign was
already underway in both Israel and the United States
to “prepare public acceptance of Dan Quayle as
president.”

Convinced that Ostrovsky was legitimate and his
information significant, McCloskey jumped on the
next flight to Washington, where he reported
Ostrovsky’s intelligence to the Secret Service and
State Department.

The apparent plot never went forward, perhaps
because Ostrovsky and McCloskey had given it away.

Ostrovsky gave more details about the plot two years
later in his 1994 book, The Other Side of Deception: A
Rogue Agent Exposes the Mossad’s Secret Agenda,
published by HarperCollins.

In the book, Ostrovsky wrote that an extremist group
within Mossad was responsible for the plan. He said
they kept the plan secret from then–Israeli Prime
MinisterYitzhak Shamir, though they believed that
Shamir would have ordered such a hit himself if he
hadn’t been constrained by politics. In the lead-up to
Israel’s 1948 founding war, Shamir had headed up a
terrorist group known for its assassinations.

In his review of Ostrovsky’s book, Ambassador
Andrew Killgore, a retired career foreign service
officer and publisher of the Washington Report,
called the book an “insider’s probing exposé of some
Middle East realities that have been hidden too long
from all but Israeli eyes.”

Ostrovsky wrote that the Israelis planned a “false
flag” operation, in which they would pin the
assassination on Palestinians. They kidnapped three
Palestinian militants from Beirut who were to be the
scapegoats, took them to Israel’s Negev desert, and
held them incommunicado.

“Meanwhile,” Killgore writes, “Mossad-generated
threats on the president’s life, seemingly from
Palestinians, were leaked. These were designed to
throw suspicion on the organization of rogue
Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal. Names and
descriptions of the three terrorists were leaked to
Spanish police so that, if the plot was successful,
blame would automatically fall on them.”

Ostrovsky reports that after the assassination plot
was eventually canceled, the three Palestinian
prisoners were “terminated.”

Targeting Americans

If the plot had gone forward, this would not have
been the first time that Israel targeted Americans for
death. Nor would it be the first false-flag operation.

• In 1954 the Mossad planned to firebomb American
installations, libraries, and other gathering places in
Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood was to be blamed for
the attacks, thus causing American animosity toward
Egypt. An accidental early detonation of one of the
devices caused the plot, known as the Lavon Affair,
to unravel before it could kill or mutilate the intended
Americans.

• In 1967 Israeli air and sea forces perpetrated an
almost two-hour assault in which they tried to sink a U.
S. Navy ship with a crew of 300. While the attack failed
to sink the ship, it succeeded in killing 34 Americans
and injuring 174. Some analysts have conjectured that
this was also a false-flag operation; it is highly likely
that Egypt would have been blamed for the attack if
the ship had gone down.

• In 1973 Israeli fighter pilots were ordered to shoot
down an unarmed U.S. reconnaissance plane (at the
time the U.S. was delivering massive weaponry to
Israel to prevent it from losing the “Yom Kippur War”
with Egypt and Syria). While the Israelis were unable
to reach the altitude of the U.S. plane, they did
manage that same year to shoot down a civilian
Libyan airliner that had strayed over Israeli territory,
killing 104 men, women, and children. One was an
American.

• In 1990 a Canadian-American scientist and father of
seven, Gerald Bull, was assassinated in Belgium. All
indications are that it was an Israeli Mossad hit team
that drilled five bullets into the back of his head and
neck. (Israel has assassinated a number of scientists
of various nationalities. The most recent is a 32-year-
old father of a young son from Iran.)

• In 2003 it came out that Israeli leaders had officially
decided to undertake assassination operations on U.
S. soil. An FBI spokesman, queried about the Israeli
plans, said only: “This is a policy matter. We only
enforce federal laws.”

• In recent years a growing number of American peace
activists have been intentionally killed, maimed, and
injured by Israeli forces, including 23-year-old Rachel
Corrie, 21-year-old Brian Avery, 37-year-old Tristan
Anderson, 21-year-old Emily Henochowicz, and 21-
year-old Furkan Dogan.

All of this has been minimally reported in the U.S.
press. While major news organizations from England
to Israel to Australia covered the Jewish Times’
apparent endorsement of a possible Israeli
assassination of a U.S. president, the scandal has
been largely missing from U.S. media. Even Atlanta’s
AP bureau inexplicably initially decided not to write a
report on it, only finally sending out a story many days
later.

Such news omissions concerning Israeli partisans are
not rare. In 2004 a fanatic Israel loyalist wrote a letter
saying that he was going to burn down Presbyterian
churcheswhile worshippers were inside (he was
furious at the Presbyterian Church’s decision to
divest from companies profiting from the illegal
Israeli occupation of Palestinian land). This grisly
threat also received minimal media play.

Despite Israeli violence against Americans (even
while American taxpayers have given far more of our
tax money to Israel than to any other nation) American
presidential candidates, with the exception of Ron
Paul, continue to vie over who is most devoted to
Israel.

It is ironic that Adler considers Obama so bad for
Israel, given that Israeli analystshave rated him
second only to Mitt Romney in his fidelity to Israel.
And Obama has now released a seven-minute video
that may catapult our first African-American president
into first place in pandering to an apartheid nation.

Perhaps he’ll be safe from assassins.

The Mossad and 9/11
by Gordon Thomas
Globe-Intel
6/17/02
The complex and often uneasy relationship between
Israel's Mossad and the U.S. intelligence community
is emerging as a prime reason for the catastrophic
failure of the CIA and FBI to act on advance warnings
of an impending attack on America.

Eight days before the September 11 attack, Egypt's
senior intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman, informed
the CIA station chief in Cairo that "credible sources"
had told him that Osama bin-Laden's network was "in
the advanced stages of executing a significant
operation against an American target."

Prior to that, the FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley
had revealed, there was a similar warning from
French intelligence.

Both warnings, Globe-Intel has established, originally
came from Mossad.

The Israeli intelligence service chose to pass on its
own intelligence to Washington through its contacts
in French and Egyptian intelligence agencies
because it did not believe its previous warnings on
an impending attack by the bin-Laden network had
been taken seriously enough in Washington.

Part of the reason has already emerged by President
Bush acknowledging for the first time there had been
a serious breakdown between the twin pillars of the
U.S. intelligence community – the FBI and CIA.

"In terms of whether or not the FBI and the CIA were
communicating properly, I think it is clear that they
weren't," he has said.

Behind this admission is the long-standing suspicion
that both the FBI and CIA have about Mossad and its
ongoing activities in the United States.

Ostensibly, Israel denies it has ever spied on its most
powerful ally. But the reality is otherwise. Both the
FBI and CIA regard Mossad as a clear and present
danger to U.S. national security. It places the Israeli
spy agency just below the espionage totem pole that
has China's Secret Intelligence Service at its top.

A full ten months before Mossad started to sound its
own warnings against bin-Laden, senior officials in
both the FBI and CIA saw them as "blowing smoke" to
divert attention from Mossad's own activities in the
United States.

Evidence of this may well be contained in the more
than 350,000 documents that the CIA has already
turned over to the hearings of the Senate and House
of Representatives intelligence committees.

These are now underway in sound-proofed rooms
before 37 members of those committees.

Already, in the atmosphere of leak and counter-leak
in Washington, the consensus is emerging on Capitol
Hill that the U.S. intelligence community had enough
data to have been able to prevent the September 11
attacks.

Richard Shelby, the senior Republican on the Senate
intelligence committee has spoken about "a massive
intelligence failure."

A hint of the extent of that failure has come from
Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak. He has spoken of
"a secret agent who was in close contact with the bin-
Laden organisation."

Globe-Intel has been told that the "agent" was in fact
the senior Mossad source who tipped off Egypt's
intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman, that an attack on
America was coming.

During last year, senior Egyptian officials have told
Globe-Intel there were five separate contacts
between Suleiman and his Mossad counterpart,
Efraim Halevy.

Understandably, Israeli government sources in Tel
Aviv have denied such contacts.

But an official close to Mubarak have confirmed that
they did take place.

Mubarak's public statements on the matter – the first
ranking statesman to break cover over the building
controversy of who-knew-what-and-when, will at
minimum be seen as clear indications that there were
lapses in the interpretations of both the CIA and FBI.

Coupled to the warnings that Mossad arranged to be
passed through French intelligence and which
Coleen Rowley has used to lambaste her chief, FBI
director Robert Mueller, the failure to act assumes
frightening proportions.

The revelations make a mockery of George Tenet's
claim that he was "proud" of the CIA's record. Its
embattled director, currently in Israel trying to broker
a doomed peace deal, has found in his absence that
his own staff are admitting to mistakes.

"Part of the problem is that the CIA and FBI are loath
to share vital information with each other, or with
other government agencies because they have this
deep-seated fear of compromising their own
sources," a senior State Department analyst told
Globe-Intel.

But in the coming days the relationship between
Mossad and the CIA and FBI will become the subject
of close scrutiny in the closed hearings of the
intelligence committees picking their way through
the mass of documents now in their possession.

It is beginning to emerge that intelligence relating to
pre-September 11 stopped at the desk of National
Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice.

The question as to why the President was not fully
briefed has led to others. Had a decision been taken
by Rice in consultation with Secretary of Defense and
other high-ranking members of the Bush
Administration to effectively not inform Bush of what
was developing because they did not trust his limited
experience in dealing with global terrorism – or a
major threat of any kind?

Officially such a question is dismissed around the
White House as nonsensical. Yet it persists within
the State Department – where Secretary of State
Colin Powell remains outside the charmed inner
circle surrounding Bush.

There, senior officials point to the fact that the CIA
briefing to Bush last August, less than a month
before the attacks on the World Trade Center and
Pentagon, turned out to be conspicuous by what was
not said.

Yet, at that time the CIA knew of the impending
threat. There are other pointers that the President
may have been kept out of the loop.

Within his own circle there is a determination to
distance him from taking the advice of his father.
President George Bush Snr is seen by some in the
White House as being out of touch with todays world.
And that the advice he proffers his son during their
Texas cookouts is out-moded.

All this may go some way to explain why President
Bush has now publicly acknowledged there was an
intelligence failure. Much else will flow from that.

WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange will
host a talk show on a
Russian TV network
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has
championed the exposure of government secrets, is
getting his own TV show — on a network bankrolled
by the Russian government.

Assange will host a talk show on the Kremlin-backed
RT news network starting in March, focusing on what
the network said in an announcement Wednesday is
“his favorite topic: controversy.”
WikiLeaks, Assange’s Web site, has posted classified
U.S. military documents and videos, as well as
American diplomatic cables that were apparently
taken from classified U.S. databases.

In a news release, WikiLeaks said the Australian-born
Assange, 40, will host 10 half-hour conversations with
“key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries
from around the world.” The content and guests
remain “secret for now,” according to RT (formerly
known as Russia Today).

One potential production problem: Assange is under
house arrest in Britain and is fighting extradition to
Sweden, where he is facing sexual assault allegations
by two women. He has denied the charges. His legal
troubles have strained WikiLeaks’ financial resources.

In interviews in late 2010, Assange threatened to
release documents about Russia and other
“repressive regimes” but never followed up.

Western news organizations and some Russians have
called RT a propaganda arm of the Kremlin. The
English-language network — whose slogan is
“Question more” — is aired throughout the
Washington area by MHz Networks, a Falls Church-
based educational broadcaster that carries channels
from Japan, France and other countries. MHz is also
carried by satellite and cable systems that reach
about 35 million homes across the country.

While U.S. officials have been harshly critical of
WikiLeaks and Assange, he appears to be viewed
differently in Russia. In December 2010, Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin called Assange’s detention in
Britain undemocratic. The Guardian newspaper of
London quoted a source close to Russian President
Dmitry Medvedev that same month suggesting that
Assange should be nominated for a Nobel Prize.

In addition to the publicity WikiLeaks has received,
many Americans are familiar with Assange because of
a parody of him on “Saturday Night Live,” on which he
was played several times by actor-comedian Bill
Hader.     Watch video on upcoming show
