National Security Whistleblowers Coalition:Congress, Whistleblower Protect

National Security Whistleblowers Coalition:
Congress, Whistleblower Protection & Accountability

An unprecedented group of national security whistleblowers have formed a united front as the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC). They will collectively attend two bipartisan congressional meetings today to demand that Congress act to end government retaliation against those who expose national security blunders, that Congress hold hearings into the federal government’s actions against whistleblowers, and that Congress act to require ‘individual accountability’ for retaliation against whistleblowers. The congressional meetings will be followed by a press conference featuring speakers from the NSWBC and guest speakers.

If Congress does not take action, Edmonds said, the coalition is prepared to run newspaper ads publicizing the names and salaries of individual managers who are alleged to have committed wrongdoing.

are obviously crackpots and conspiracy theorists. /irony off

I notice we have a former "Red Team" leader from the FAA there, Bodan Dzakovic. Red Team/Blue Team, that's air force war games as far as I know.

"Almost any branch of the government gets into covert operations. And they do it in a team fashion. That's why I called it The Secret Team. Because I saw just as many people working in covert operations in the Customs Service, in the Treasury Service, even in FAA sometimes, as I did when we saw CIA people and defense people working. It just depends on what type of operation you're in or who wants it done. It's not the CIA all the time, although they all get together and say it was the CIA."

Veteran Special agent, Counterterrorism, FBI, about 9/11:

"There's so much more. God, there's so much more. A lot more."

Glad to see him on the list.

Aren't you watching C-SPAN?

:hi:

I'm not a big fan of Griffin anyway, and I've already listened to the audio recording. I wish they had invited someone like professor Peter Dale Scott, who is soon to release a book on 9/11, and who actually, shall we say, knows what he is talking about. I'd like to see Griffin's "overwhelming evidence" that a Boeing 757 did not strike the Pentagon, for instance, and I would also like to know why a theologian is suddenly an expert on plane crashes. I don't completely discount the possibility (of demolitions and remote controlled airplanes - you know what Dov Zakheim's old company SPC makes, right?), but I think that 90% of people, or at least the people that watch C-Span, when they hear about missiles and controlled demolitions, they think "tinfoil" and it turns them away from the subject altogether, and I think Griffin gets on fairly thin ice at times.

It is certainly possible to expose 9/11 without getting into these contentious "physical" issues, the evidence for which remains inconclusive. But that's just my $0.02, to be taken for what it's worth. :beer: Guess it's good to get the idea out there anyway, that there's more to 9/11 than we've been told. People can do their own research if they're interested.

Sibel Edmonds on the 9/11 Commission:

"The countdown is finally over, and a five hundred sixty seven-page Commission report is out. According to the Commission Chairman, they have seen 'every single document' and have interviewed 'every single relevant witness and authority'.

According to all Commission members, this report should be considered a resounding success, since it encompasses all information relevant to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and very little, almost none, has been redacted, classified, or glossed over. Yet we have heard no one screaming 'classification', 'sensitive diplomatic relations', 'highly sensitive foreign business relations', or 'national security implications.'

This is highly puzzling and curious.

This puzzles me, considering that every investigation by the Congress and the IG into my issues, every report involving my already confirmed allegations involving serious lapses within the FBI, and every legal procedure and due process dealing with my case alone, has been blocked, gagged, entirely classified, and stopped.

This puzzles me, knowing the detailed information, I, myself, provided to the commission during a three and a half hour tape-recorded briefing; yet, finding only one footnote (footnote 25) briefly stating insufficient translation capability within the Bureau. It is highly curious that the report mentions nothing regarding the 'intentionally blocked translations by certain Middle Eastern Translators, who also breached FBI security, as confirmed by the Senate Judiciary'; nothing regarding 'adamant resistance to investigations of certain terrorist and criminal activities; refusing to transfer them to Counterterrorism from existing counterintelligence investigations, solely based on the vague notion of protecting certain foreign relations'; nothing regarding 'continued efforts to cover up certain highly specific information received prior to September 11, even now, years after 9/11,'; or nothing regarding 'knowingly allowing certain individuals, directly or indirectly related to terrorist activities, to leave the United States months after 9/11, without any interrogation, and per the State Department's request.'

I am highly puzzled and curious.

This puzzles me, having first hand knowledge of ongoing intelligence received and processed by the FBI since 1997, which contained specific information implicating certain high level government and elected officials in criminal activities directly and indirectly related to terrorist money laundering, narcotics, and illegal arms sales. It is highly curious that the report omitted all this information, knowing that others in the Congress have been briefed on these issues, having been given the names of targets involved, Special Agents, translators, field offices, and files."

The CEO of SPC

Dr. Dov Zakheim has been nominated to serve as Under Secretary of Defense and Comptroller. He is presently the CEO of SPC International, and in the past he has served as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Planning and Resources as well as in a variety of Defense Department positions under former President Reagan. He was a member of the Task Force on Defense Reform under then-Secretary of Defense William Cohen and in February of 2000 he was appointed to the Defense Science Board Task Force on the Impact of DoD Acquisition Policies on the Health of the Defense Industry. He has received the Department of Defense Distinguished Public Service Medal; the Bronze Palm to the DoD Distinguished Public Service Medal and the CBO Director's Award for Outstanding Service. A New York native, Dr. Zakheim is a graduate of Columbia University and has also studied at the London School of Economics. He received his doctorate degree from St. Anthony's College at Oxford University.

It was an SPC subsidiary, TRIDATA CORPORATION, that oversaw the investigation after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

He's the one that should know where all the money is!

Just good to see something on the TV. You know no one will believe unless it's on the tube.

Yes, he was the comptroller who lost a trillion. That's got to be a world record? Dov's got some splainin' to do!

Presently Vice President of BoozAllen Hamilton with James Woolsey, another 9/11 suspect extraordinaire, they are also partners in the current Committee on the Present Danger. Dov was employed by the Foreign Policy Research Institute, which from the start in 1955 explicitly stated that their mission was to work for the realization of a new world order dominated by an American empire. Other affiliates of the FPRI have been Alexander Haig, Richard Perle and Daniel Pipes.

Dov has been busy in the think-tank world: Center for Security Policy, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Heritage Foundation, Wilson Center for International Scholars, and of course the PNAC! - There, too, with his buddy James Woolsey.

He was responsible for "defense guidance planning for nuclear war" in the Reagan Pentagon. At the same time, he was a lobbyist for Northrop Grumman and McDonnell Douglas, he persuaded the Israelis to accept American sale of McDonnell Douglas F-15s to Saudi Arabia, for instance. Dov is at the centre of the military-industrial complex.

BoozAllen Hamilton was "consulted" in the development of the Total Information Awareness system. Dov was Bush's senior foreign policy adviser in his first presidential campaign.

A suspicious man.

A National Press Club luncheon last week honored the winners of the
"truth telling" awards named for the late Ron Ridenhour, the New
Orleanian who as a soldier helped expose the My Lai massacre in
Vietnam and later became an award-winning investigative journalist.
The award recipients are Seymour Hersh, The New Yorker magazine
investigative reporter who helped break the prisoner abuse story in
Iraq; Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, whose book "Random Family: Love
Drugs, Trouble and Coming of Age in the Bronx" was hailed as a
haunting account of the day-to-day realities of urban poverty; and
Kristen Breitweiser, a Sept. 11 widow who was unrelenting in her push
for a public accounting of what went wrong on the tragic day in 2001
and the months preceding it. Another New Orleanian and friend of
Ridenhour, Randy Fertel and his Fertel Foundation, underwrote the
three $10,000 prizes.
