Thank you to the reader who sent this my way. The often interesting Lame Cherry points to a recent NY Times article that outlines and implicates the Obama administration’s role in helping to arm Islamic militant groups. A quick disclaimer to those who have voiced dislike for the method of Lame Cherry’s communications…read past the profanity and focus instead on the actual content. This example in particular has something important to say…
EXCERPT (via Lame Cherry)
New York Times has confirmed the major points of this blog in B. Hussein Obama was funneling weapons to al Qaeda in Libya and these weapons have now transferred to Syria.
The spin in the Times proves a desperation in the Obama regime is now blaming Qatar for all of this, and no mention is being made of Turkey or other more powerful sources.
________________
Within weeks of endorsing Qatar’s plan to send weapons there in spring 2011, the White House began receiving reports that they were going to Islamic militant groups.
Some of the arms since have been moved from Libya to militants with ties to Al Qaeda in Mali, where radical jihadi factions have imposed Shariah law in the northern part of the country, the former Defense Department official said. Others have gone to Syria, according to several American and foreign officials and arms traders.
After discussions among members of the National Security Council, the Obama administration backed the arms shipments from both countries, according to two former administration officials briefed on the talks. -New York Times

“This is a direct admission and direct confession that the Obama regime violated the law.”
Violation of the Law #26,344 by this Administration. Meaning? Nothing.
No one will ever be held to account for any of it owing to traitorous sycophants in both the LSM and the GOP Congressional “leadership” …
Obamatollah outdoes himself, again.
Pop Quiz:
Which is sinking into hell faster?
A) President Omoslem’s sabotage of the USA.
B) The moral standards of the American populace that allows answer “A” to keep getting worse.
C) Both “A” and “C” are locked in a death-spiral into hell, so they’re both plummeting at the same speed.
Oh, BSMoslem, you cynic you! I think you see what I see.
Hate to burst your bubble on all this, but providing weapons to various opposition groups fighting against regimes the US doesn’t like is not illegal – unless Congress passes laws that specifically prohibit such transactions. The USG has been doing this at least since the Lend-Lease program of the 1940′s, when we provided military assistance to the Brits who were fighting the Nazis (prior to Pearl Harbor). All that is required for such weapons transfers to be made is for a president to sign a document known as a “presidential finding,” in which he “finds” that a particular group or government is a threat to U.S. national security. Those findings are usually very brief and very highly classified.
The Iran-Contra dust-up became a big deal in Washington because Congress had passed a specific law making it illegal for USG (Reagan Admin) to use federal funds to provide military assistance to the Contra rebels fighting in Central America.
NYT story may reveal a political smoking gun, but not necessarily a legal one. That’s why NYT actually printed the story, and then only after the election. More evidence that the “Grey Lady” is actually a corpse.
Yep, the old grey mare, she ain’t what she used to be. And even then she was just a nag.
Actually he/it/ev-il has violated/participated in several areas of criminal activity
Aiding and Abetting the Enemy Act- Selling/giving weapons weapons to egypt and libya, including the radical islamists in syria fall into that category. Also installing Muslim Brotherhood terrorist into key government rolls, not to mention violent communists like van jones.
Providing the Material Support of Terrorism – Patriot Act Violation (The media could be included in this as well)
Treason – Attempting and succeeding in the overthrow of the US Constitutional Government. Treason consists of two elements: ”adherence to the enemy; and rendering him aid and comfort.
Violating the Oath of Office.
Rico Act Violations – Working in a group of two or more to defraud, murder or commit crimes
Patriot Act Violation – Use of terrorism/violence to promote a political ideology (media complicit)
You could probably hold 90% of all govt and media officials accountable for each of these acts.

@ CitizenWatcher
Thanks for the Link!! I agree!!
Obama & company are guilty of “TREASON” against the United States of America.
Clare Lopez, a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy,
“Official U. S. policy now is to assist al-Qaida, the Muslim Brotherhood and other jihadists to overthrow what have been termed ‘unfaithful Arab/Muslim rulers’ who failed to enforce Islamic law (shariah) … and to replace them with jihadist Muslim Brotherhood leadership that has pledged its commitment to re-establishment of the Caliphate and strict implementation of Shariah,” she said.
Lopez said the change in policy is a consequence of “infiltration” of Islamist operatives in the United States government.

Yes, I have posted that site, commieblaster.com many places for the last few years, hoping to help others. TONS of mindbloggling info there. That’s why I always say, most everyone in America has NO EXCUSE (especially those in our elected offices that vote on issues, etc.) for being ignorant about all this – which includes RI. Either they have chosen to be ignorant or know and are lying and/or living in denial — all dangerous and horrendous, despicable.
I’m posting this right after the one that PUBLIUS did — great comments from all three of you guys.
@Jules, just the right touch of sarcasm to lend substance to the commentary.

AtB, I am looking forward to learning your views on UM’s article since it highlights your nat’l treasure and long-lost-separated-at-birth twin the mystical, sweet little, ever lovin’ l.c.
I like LC! I read him/her every day with my first cup of joe. I would love to know if you all think the proposals for the resurrection of the USA are doable.
Thank you Jules, I’ll take that as a compliment…
LC has written about this for some time…as have i. …the only difference now is others like the Breitbart article and the NYT’s article, both of which I posted on the 5th, are reporting LC’s information.
That the arms sales leaked out in Spring of 2011 might give some pause…Oh yes, the fake murder of Osama took place at that same exact time…hmmmm. Think perhaps Obama wanted an Osama distraction?
Now Petraeus resigns due to an affair …so to avoid testifying to Congress about the missile running…And the Chief Operating Officer of Lockheed resigns that very same exact day….because he too is having an affair….hmmm… No testimony there….Yet that COO of Lockheed tripled, yes X’s 3…their arms sales in 2011….hmmmm.
Fast and Furious I Mexico…. (first known as “Direct Commerce”)
Fast and Furious II Libya….Missile Runner
When those Stinger Missiles show up in Syria…we no longer are simply selling arms and the 30,000 missing missiles to Al Qaeda, the enemy of the USA, to install The Muslim Brotherhood across the Middle East…. but now Obama has traceable US Stinger Missiles ….breaking our NATO TREATY….that is more serious and readily traceable ….
One might ask..”Why was Stevens in Benghazi?” ….”Was he retrieving the arms…30,000 missing missiles and Manpads”..or “Was he an arms dealer for Obama, selling those arms”?
One might ask..
“Why was the Turkish Counsel meeting Stevens in Benghazi on 9/11″?….
“Why did the tanker filled with arms leave Benghazi and head to Turkey…the conduit for arms into Syria”?…
“Why not a word as Christians are slaughtered in Egypt, Syria, Nigeria…and more”?
The Arab Spring is anything but…the arsonist of the Middle East has created such chaos….and proceeded through a veil of lies to install dictators of his choosing…IslamoCommunists all…makes one wonder if Obama’s working for Iran…it is certainly a stretch to believe anyone could be this incompetent, only to have his poor decisions result in a bonanza for the Muslim Brotherhood…Ask Huma…

AtB, you’re welcome – it was meant as a compliment. Regarding Op. Direct Commerce, was Honduras, aka ‘the trampoline’ somehow involved in that too?

You will love this little talked about fact. The Chairman of the Board at The American Trukish Council (Sibel Edmonds ATC) is non other than Richard “Dick the Valerie Plame leaker” Armitage
I actually don’t quite trust Sibel Edmonds, or whoever she is.
There is this, which I’m not sure about either:
http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=american-turkish_council
If you scroll to the bottom, you see mention of Armitage as Chairman.
I know you obviously already knew, Whistle, just linking fwiw. Chicago-related, though, right?
Agree Jules…chaos reigns …so it’s difficult to see who plays for which team
Reminder
Dennis Hastert stepped down as speaker, and did not finish his term as congressman due to the ivestigation of the Turks in Chicago. He was taking big time bribes, investigation into Hasterst was halted. Hastert then became a paid lobbyist for the Turks
Whistleblower, interestingly Marc Grossman is mentioned at Jules’ link…Turkey a front for Palestine, Armitage a representative for Colin Powell…too many in government shills for others….
Whistleblower please share some of your world view…why it all goes back to Chicago…Where this is taking us? If there is anything we can do to stop it. The electronic voting suggests we no longer have a voice…What is the end game? Can you give me a synopsis?
Being led to the well is not accomplishing much….

Voter fraud will be a distraction. There are better ways to stop these criminals. Thats the point, the GOP has no interest in doing so. They just want to give the appearance a wanting to.
It has all been a dog and pony show.
Why did Fitzgerald go to Chicago? To clear the way for Obama.
Who sent him to Chicago? The George Bush DoJ
Why was Fitz appointed special counsel when they knew it was Armitage that leaked? Distraction.
Why are the republicans not calling for a special prosecutor to talk to John Chase of the Chicago Tribune?
Fitz Heads up 10 state Acorn investigation. Goes nowhere (under Bush)
etc. ect. etc. The Problem is Washington. We are all being played. First step is to expose that.
Whistleblower, so Washington has decided Israel is expendable …and elevated a Muslim to further the cause of the Muslim Brotherhood and to protect our oil interests…
All others are simply parasites enjoying the symbiotic relationship with the IslamoCommunist.
Don’t believe this will turn out well.
And for every crisis they will put forth a solution coming out of the U.N., its all about U.S sovereignty.
The numbers don’t work and everyone knows it. With each crisis, Americans will lose freedoms.
Oh my goodness….could it possibly be that the death of OBL was a………lie????!!
Nah……could’t be.:
“Obama lied to every American and the rest of the world about the date of the alleged Osama Bin Laden killing, according to recently released Department of Defense emails. (Email redactions by DOD) According to a live speech given to the country late night on May 1, 2011, Obama stated “Today at my direction the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound (where Osama allegedly was) in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a fire fight they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body.”
The emails in my possession received directly from the Department of Defense as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request for Osama Bin Laden’s killing and burial related documents, reveal that the mission to allegedly “kill Osama” occurred April 28, 2011 or earlier, not May 1, 2011, as Obama claimed.
In one of the emails with a date time of April 29, 2011, 4:58 AM, Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Samuel Perez asks an unidentified email sender (Redacted) regarding the “burial”: “Do I need any special religious/ceremonial preparations?” Email strings that were released concerning the alleged burial of Osama go back to April 28. This means that “Osama” .. was killed April 28, 2011 or earlier.
Obama continued to lie to the American people two other times in his speech that Osama was killed that day – May 1, 2011.
At 6.13 minutes, Obama stated “Tonight I called President Zardari and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts. They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations,” stated Obama.
At 8.37 “Today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country,” stated Obama.
.. This video is very important in understanding how the federal courts continue to fraudulently weasel out .. taken away our right to petition the federal court regarding unconstitutional issues.
Did those unnamed men in leadership even look in the body bag?
Also, the Department of Defense, in their Freedom of Information Act response, stated that the USS Carl Vinson (the carrier in which Osama’s body was allegedly dumped) had no documentary evidence of Osama’s burial. However, in the released emails RDML Charles M. Gaouette stated: “The paucity of documentary evidence in our possession is a reflection of the emphasis placed upon operational security during the execution of this phase of the operation.”
Paucity means a small amount. So the military leadership in coordination with Obama’s DOD stated that there is no documentary evidence (a lie), even though RDML Gaouette had said there was a “paucity” of evidence.
Was Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette relieved from command because he did not like that the U.S. military and Obama were lying to the American people? Was the admiral being set up by the Obama administration for not wanting to keep the Osama lie quiet?
Navy Admiral kicked off his ship, sent back to Bremerton. Why?
A man who climbed the Navy’s ranks over a long career has been unceremoniously removed as commander of the USS Stennis Carrier Strike Group and sent back to the homeport in Bremerton.
A U.S. Navy spokesperson is not giving an explanation for the change, other than to say that questions had arisen about Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette’s “leadership judgment.” …….
……..NBC News interviewed Neal Zerbe, a retired Navy Captain, who says, “The particular commander being relieved, and you know translating that to just moving him back to a continental U.S. base while the investigation continues, is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”

Oh….and another little tidbit….re no WMD’s in Iraq; seems they were there but moved…..guess to where?:
“As the regime of Bashar Assad disintegrates, the security of his chemical arsenal is in jeopardy. The No. 2 general in Saddam Hussein’s air force says they were the WMDs we didn’t find in Iraq.
King Abdullah of neighboring Jordan warned that a disintegrating Syria on the verge of civil war puts Syria’s stockpile of chemical weapons at risk of falling into the hands of al-Qaida.
“One of the worst-case scenarios as we are obviously trying to look for a political solution would be if some of those chemical stockpiles were to fall into unfriendly hands,” he said.
The irony here is that the chemical weapons stockpile of Syrian thug Assad may in large part be the legacy of weapons moved from Hussein’s Iraq into Syria before Operation Iraqi Freedom.
If so, this may be the reason not much was found in the way of WMD by victorious U.S. forces in 2003.
In 2006, former Iraqi general Georges Sada, second in command of the Iraqi Air Force who served under Saddam Hussein before he defected, wrote a comprehensive book, “Saddam’s Secrets.”
It details how the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria in advance of the U.S.-led action to eliminate Hussein’s WMD threat.
As Sada told the New York Sun, two Iraqi Airways Boeings were converted to cargo planes by removing the seats, and special Republican Guard units loaded the planes with chemical weapons materials.
There were 56 flights disguised as a relief effort after a 2002 Syrian dam collapse.
There were also truck convoys into Syria. Sada’s comments came more than a month after Israel’s top general during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Moshe Yaalon, told the Sun that Saddam “transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria.”
Both Israeli and U.S. intelligence observed large truck convoys leaving Iraq and entering Syria in the weeks and months before Operation Iraqi Freedom, John Shaw, former deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, told a private conference of former weapons inspectors and intelligence experts held in Arlington, Va., in 2006.
“According to Shaw, ex-Russian intelligence chief Yevgeni Primakov, a KGB general with long-standing ties to Saddam, went to Iraq in December 2002 and stayed until just before the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.
Anticipating the invasion, his job was to supervise the removal of such weapons and erase as much evidence of Russian involvement as possible.”

T&J,
Thank you for this post.
Without getting myself in hot water, I can say that I was ‘in the business’ when all this was coming down. You may recall that Saddam Hussein was giving the weapons inspectors fits by refusing to allow them to do their job. While he was stalling, his weapons were indeed being moved to Syria; lots of weapons. I know this for a fact.
What you don’t read about were the vast stockpiles of chemical weapons Hussein maintained. Those who bang the drum that there weren’t any only need ask the Kurds whose numbers were decimated by Hussein ordering chemical attacks on them well before the U.S. entered Iraq to launch Operation Iraqi Freedom. IMO, this information wasn’t reported because the puppy press wanted to make Bush look like an idiot for ‘invading’ a country who supposedly did not have WMDs.
Something else you never heard about: When the U.S. entered Iraq in 2003, chemical labs were found buried in the desert. These were not mom and pop operations rather, fully finctioning chemical labs capable of producing enough deadly chemicals (nerve agents, blister agents, etc.) to kill their own population ten times over.
The weapons were there; you can take that to the bank.
One more thing….
The body that was buried at sea was NOT binLaden; he died shortly after 9/11. You might remember that there were only ‘audio’ tapes of ‘his’ voice with scripted messages; he had not been seen on video for several years.
Why the haste to dump his body into the sea? Perhaps because it wasn’t him. Why were photos of the body never released to prove it was him? Because it wasn’t; more than likely, it was one of his goons or relatives who was taken out. The funeral at sea wasn’t his.
I find it amusing that binLaden was ‘kept alive’ for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was that his ‘people’ would begin an all out war if they knew their dear leader was dead. It was known that he had severe kidney disease, so you have to ask yourself how dialysis equipment was maintained in a cave at Tora Bora?
This rabbit hole of lies and deception goes very deep….
Thanks – yes, from the beginning, I always thought in my “gut” (and common sense) that those weapons were there but moved. I remember ppl talking about that back then but then it was swept under the rug like everything else “they” don’t want you to know. I kept hoping that the Bush Admin. would have come out and defended that.
And yes, I also heard about OBL not really being killed when Obama announced it & more likely a relative. Mind boggling to say the least – but I keep hoping that the truth will come out in the not so distant future.
” . . .None of this is new in the Obama regime. When Obama was making deals illegally with terrorists worldwide to get that 300 million dollar wire fraud transfer to his campaign . . ” If Obama would do that, what makes RI think he wouldn’t steal the election? Totally corrupt. Totally. In for a penny, in for a pound, as they say. I wouldn’t put anything past him.
I must say that the referenced Lame Cherry article is the most lucidly written that I’ve read. Smoking gun indeed! But will anything be done about it? I doubt it. It has become business as usual, I’m afraid. What a world we live in, eh?
Regarding LC, it’s hard to believe a true prophet of God could have such overt lesbian tendencies, and would keep asking for money all the time as well. I expected that modern day prophets might have to follow the teachings of Scripture (Romans 1, Philippians 4), but what do I know?
TandJ, Whistleblower,…you remember convoy after convoy leaving Iraq and into Syria, no doubt with Saddam’s WMD….before the UN could manage a cohesive resolution. You remember the 550 metric tons of yellow cake that made its way out of Iraq and into Canada in July of ’08 with little to no fanfare??? (AP, page 18) so YES…there were WMD….and Bush didn’t lie but Colin Powell DID LIe….
It appears the long game by the Globalists and Marxists have dismantled our sovereignty through the United Nations and satellite agencies.
The American Turkish Council appears to be one such entity that houses the cabal of treasonous traitors suh as Armitage…Colin Powell’s front man. The American Turkish Council was charged by Edmond’s as having bought off the Black Caucus…a group of Marxist traitors willing to dissolve and dismember the USA..
Turkey appears to be the link pin in the chaos of the Middle East..as well as the conduit for Obama’s illegal arms sales of missile running….and as Obama uses that chaos for his purposes, the world becomes more dangerous and less free and the Fabians remould it with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood…Go ask Huma…I think she’ll know…
Osama was but a distraction to the missile running which had been outed at the very same moment in time…And where oh where is Osama’s equally tall son Hamsi….who since that time virtually disappeared… never to have been seen again?
As noted in the Seal’s book No Easy Day..they were curious that Osama looked so incredibly young and fit for a man on long term kidney dialysis…and surprised by his dark hair and beard…..The skeptical among us were of courses silenced by John Brennan’s wry remarks concerning the hair dye found at “Osama’s” compound…and the DNA testing confirmation that could not have been completed in the short time allowed….And that 26 memebers of Seal Team 6 were put on a single dinosaur aircraft only to be murdered under new rules of engagement imposed by Obama where flight plans are given to the corrupt Afgan army and two other corrupt agencies….does not rise any suspicion
….Bet those traitors are very worried who might be coming after them in the light of day or dark of night….and don’t want to awake to a Seal memeber….When we begin to see those accidents among the traitor class…we’ll know it’s game on and not everyone rolled over for the communist traitors…
ATB
You will find this interesting. Keep in mind that Armitage and Clarridge are pals from the Iran-Contra days.
“Even as the FBI was following the trail of the forgers, the Italians were looking into the matter from their end. A parliamentary committee was charged with investigating, and they issued a heavily redacted report: now, I am told by a former CIA operations officer, the report has aroused some interest on this side of the Atlantic. According to a source in the Italian embassy, Patrick J. “Bulldog” Fitzgerald asked for and “has finally been given a full copy of the Italian parliamentary oversight report on the forged Niger uranium document,” the former CIA officer tells me:
“Previous versions of the report were redacted and had all the names removed, though it was possible to guess who was involved. This version names Michael Ledeen as the conduit for the report and indicates that former CIA officers Duane Clarridge and Alan Wolf were the principal forgers. All three had business interests with Chalabi.”
Alan Wolf died about a year and a half ago of cancer. He served as chief of the CIA’s Near East Division as well as the European Division, and was also CIA chief of station in Rome after Clarridge. According to my source, “he and Clarridge and Ledeen were all very close and also close to Chalabi.” The former CIA officer says Wolf “was Clarridge’s Agency godfather. Significantly, both Clarridge and Wolf also spent considerable time in the Africa division, so they both had the Africa and Rome connection and both were close to Ledeen, closing the loop.”
Now check out the email in this PayToPlay piece.
Sun Times’ report on Frawley sentencing in error
http://illinoispaytoplay.com/2012/04/19/sun-times-report-on-frawley-sentencing-in-error/
Ledeen’s view: In a 2003 column entitled “A Theory,” Ledeen outlined a possibility that France and Germany, both NATO allies of the United States, “struck a deal with radical Islam and with radical Arabs” to use “extremism and terrorism as the weapon of choice” to bring down a potential American Empire. He stated, “It sounds fanciful, to be sure,” but that, “If this is correct, we will have to pursue the war against terror far beyond the boundaries of the Middle East, into the heart of Western Europe. And there, as in the Middle East, our greatest weapons are political: the demonstrated desire for freedom of the peoples of the countries that oppose us.”[23] See also: Eurabia (conspiracy theory)

Free Republic…An explanation worth reading and considering…
The Petraeus Espionage File
Pajamas Media Michael Ledeen
I may have awakened him. The late James Jesus Angleton, once the chief of CIA counterintelligence, sounded kinda groggy to me after I got him–loud and clear!–on my famously untrustworthy ouija board. Of course I have no idea whether he gets to sleep at all. I don’t quite know exactly “where” he is, after all, and he doesn’t answer direct questions on the subject. Anyway, there he was, and I started right in.
ML: So what am I supposed to think about Petraeus?
JJA: That you’re living in a country where espionage is rampant.
ML: Huh?
JJA: Have you read those stories about the “software breakdowns” in the Romney get-out-the-vote program “Orca”?
ML: Sure, it didn’t work, passwords didn’t work, it was a gigantic snafu.
JJA: Uh huh. And has anyone raised the possibility that the Romney organization was penetrated in order to introduce “fatal errors” in their computers?
ML: Actually I don’t believe I’ve seen that in print, although I’m sure somebody must have thought of it.
JJA: I mean, the Obama people know all about Stuxnet, right?
ML: Yes, the killer worm that was fed into the computers that run the centrifuges in the Iranian nuclear program.
JJA: So if politics is war by other means, why shouldn’t they use similar methods in the election?
ML: Haven’t you inverted that? Didn’t Clausewitz say that “war is the continuation of politics by different means”? You’re the literary expert, but still…
JJA: I expected you’d like the inversion. Anyway, “Orca” is a good case for espionage, don’t you think?
ML: Ok, I’ll buy that. But what does it have to do with the Petraeus story?
JJA: Everything. Both are potential espionage stories. On Petraeus, for starters, we’re told that the FBI was investigating some “broader” thing, and they just happened to come across emails between him and her. As if the bureau weren’t running an investigation into Petraeus all along.
ML: Why would they do that?
JJA: Jeez, nobody knows anything any more! (coughing again, he’d probably lit up a Camel). It’s routine. The FBI always monitors the top levels of CIA, especially the director, any time there is reason for them to worry about a national security counterintelligence matter. Everybody in the business knows that. And all they need to open one of those investigations is a complaint, or a tip, from anybody. You can’t imagine how many hours are devoted to checking out anonymous leads. I can give you lots of recent stories about promotions and nominations being held up because some fabulist sent a little whisper across the transom of an inspector general’s office…
ML: And the CIA guys know that? Petraeus knew that?
JJA: Of course. And he also knew what any moderate geek knows, namely that gmail is an open book. Any skilled nerd can read most anybody’s emails. We don’t ever use email here.
ML: You’ve got computers?
JJA: Indeed. What do you think that “cloud” thing is all about anyway? We control it.
ML: I should have known! So Petraeus knew that people were reading, or at least could read, all his passionate emails to his lover.
JJA: Yes. And he knew enough about such matters to realize that when the counterintel people became aware of the affair, the bureau would instantly worry that he could be blackmailed. So they would go back through all his emails, and all hers as well, to everyone.
ML: Just because they were having an affair?
JJA: Unlikely. Most of the time, there’s either evidence, or allegations, that classified information has been compromised. The Intelligence Community, and the national security crowd more broadly, isn’t a model of virtue. CIA has had many cases of top officials sleeping around, sometimes with underlings, sometimes with outsiders. Sometimes the Agency has taken punitive action, sometimes not…
ML: Yeah, I know. And by the way, you know that letter to the New York Times’ “ethicist” from a cuckolded husband that everyone suspected to be about the Petraeus affair? The Times says it wasn’t. So…
JJA: So, if the letter is kosher, there’s another high-level official carrying on an affair. No surprise.
ML: I think that blackmail is not what it used to be. When I had to pass security exams, I was told, for example, that gays could be blackmailed because they were terrified of being outed. But that was in the eighties. I doubt a threat of exposure would be very effective nowadays.
JJA: That’s what I hear, too. So why did the bureau fear Petraeus might be blackmailable?
ML: Right. If someone threatened to expose him, couldn’t he just say “be sure to print the really great pictures”?
JJA: I’d have to know more about his psychology. But I found his “message to the CIA” confession quite amazing. It reminds me of confessions from the Soviet purge trials. It’s one of the most humiliating statements ever. Which baffles me. Why didn’t he just resign?
ML: Indeed. And there’s that odd statement from him, “the president permitted me to resign…”
JJA: As if he couldn’t just turn in his badges and go home.
ML: Maybe that’s where the blackmail comes in.
JJA: Good one! The White House knew about the investigation (the FBI would have briefed Holder, and he would have told the president) for quite a while, but kept him at Langley until the election was over.
ML: Makes sense.
JJA: Sure, but it also suggests that they had some way to keep him on the job, doesn’t it? And that “some way” isn’t loyalty or friendship, because when he went, he went in the most devastatingly damaging way possible.
ML: And you’re saying that’s not his decision, it was imposed on him?
JJA: What do I know? But it sure stinks of that. He wasn’t very masochistic, was he?
ML: Not at all. He was famous, already in the early days in Iraq, for going around with a phalanx of Public Affairs officers squiring him from meeting to meeting. He’s very attentive to his image, and some of his colleagues resented that no end.
JJA: There you go. So he’s not the sort who would be overcome with guilt and driven to make a piteous public confession of sins.
ML: I never met him, but the humiliating confession seemed out of character to me.
JJA: Don’t you love counterintelligence? You start with the theory that he was blackmailed out of office, and you quickly move to a theory that he was blackmailed into remaining in office. That’s why “wilderness of mirrors” is such a good description…
ML: So, if the sex scandal doesn’t work, what could they have used to keep him chained to his desk? Some other scandal? Corruption in Iraq? In Afghanistan?
But he was gone. Maybe back to sleep. Wouldn’t blame him.
Hmmm…

Yes, Obama could blackmail him. I saw the Broadwell interview on the Stewart Show. One of the last things she says before the commercial break is that Petraeus isn’t a strategic thinker. He had a good reputation with the public and he’s not a strategic thinker and he’s slavishly loyal to his superiors. Just what Obama wanted. And the CIA is tasked to look at what’s going on outside the United States. Now, if you’re Obama, and you’re setting the Middle East on fire for fun and profit, you’d better make sure to have someone you can control in charge of the agency who just might discover your dirty little secret. Obama was blackmailing Petraeus and it was easy as fishin’.
“Rafael Prieto, well, dead men tell no tales.”
Speaking of…. I had no clue his estranged wife was involved in the Seal Team 6 movie.

From Lamecherry :
The anti Christ Progenitor
When the kingdoms of Israel and Judah reached their end times during antiquity, they were a people exactly as their American and western children are today.
They have appointed rulers from other sources. Their debt was massive. They thought they were powerful enough to thwart invasion and they thought that bribing other nations in alliances made them secure.
What the above is, is the exact policy of B. Hussein Obama. America under B. Hussein is more isolated, more weak, more depleted and more in jeopardy than any time in her history.
The reality is the Founders by God’s Grace actually had Christian alliances with France, with other empires in Spain and Germany actually rooting for the American upstarts bloodying the British Empire. Today America has no alliances of worth as none of her allies are economic, security nor have enough population fodder to import nor use that population to consume the common enemy. America is nothing but weaker than she was just four years ago.
The world is a weakened place. In wars, it is the massed hordes against the civilized slovens. To destroy hordes it requires literal weapons of mass destruction of populations in quantity. Only at that point could a conventional war be waged once the playing field is leveled.
These Obama destabilizing wars, with propaganda of WMD’s in Syria all to progress the Obama feudal world agenda, are working effectively in bleeding America of funds and warriors.
Is it not an amazing thing that “all these Bush wars” were having to be paid for, and in reality the Obama wars from Egypt, Libya, Syria and soon other regions, costing billions more in American debt are never spoken of, but Mr. Obama instead implements more defensive cuts.
It is not that Naval power is sitting duck obsolete and really worthless, so Obama cuts it, but it is the reality that Naval power is absolute in one needs ships to project American power……meaning a nation must have ships loaded with munitions as one can not fly enough men and bullets into any theater to fight a war.
Richard Nixon effectively implemented what was called the China card, in pitting Russia against China and China against Russia. What Mr. Obama has is bribing both China and Russia in making them more strong and more allied for future attacks upon America.
Kim Jong Un to Ahmadinejad are a host of proxy warrior leaders that Obama has America engaged with, while the Peking and Moscow leaders are at leisure to plot next maneuvers.
What is required is simple, and that is a reality of the crimes of Barack Hussein Obama are in the way of the real needs for American survivability.
Oil is high because Mr. Obama wants it high to force people to buy his crony green products. In equality, the big oil tycoons have prices high making huge profits off of horrid tar sands oils. There is in this nothing taking place for the economic gain of America.
Inflation then spikes crude prices further in shipping and other piping measures, no matter the source, so the few are being rewarded while the majority are being robbed.
It is of no value in “what needs to be done” from retroactive taxes on world financeirs to recoup the treasure looted from America in the 500 trillion dollar range it is now being spoken of. Nothing is going to be done. All that will be done is more talking and more telling the robbed to wait for a new election.
The cartel is not spiking domestic terror events due to the reality they are extremely concerned that a few group Joker events would in fact enlist a national revolution of marching in the streets. If such a revolution was started, the military and state police would slaughter the masses as an example. It would be one of hot spot wars which would benefit the elite, but with every home GPS tracked now, Star Wars neutralization would be enlisted in people being easy baked in their own homes.
It is amazing to listen to the vomit being repuked by the media as none addresses the change which has taken place in stolen American elections and the reality that America is dead and her grave is being covered over daily to being forgotten.
Being an American is now a criminal act, and the state police are enforcing that act as is the US military by threat.
America is a dream which became a nightmare, and only when the spectre of her dies in the darkness, weaning the masses from their fantasy, will the remaining Americans be saved from the illusion and awaken to liberty.

Mark Levin should scream louder or get hisself a blondeberry daugther to fondle as he goes through the paces. There is not one of these Mockingbird elite on the right or left who does not know what has taken place and what continues to manifest, and yet they continue to spew out lies to keep the mob from revolting, to protect their own mansion wealth.
Real revolution comes only from passively caring for yourself and your families. The reality is one never hear about Russian or Chinese espionage as why should they spy when their advocate is at 1600 Penn Avenue running the world terror groups of al Qaeda.
Does anyone but this blog ask after Obama’s Muslim springs which were warned of here, in what will happen when al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood have diplomatic immunity to ship WMD’s and have full access to all the university, hospital and nuclear facilities for chemical, biological and radioactive weapons?
Did it work when Brzezinski educated the radical Muslims? No it turned bin Laden as an engineer into a structural terrorist. Did it work in Brzezinski turning out militant Muslims for his Soviet war? No, it got America attacked on 9 11.
This same credo of Brzezinski in the Obama order now has Muslims being handed over nation backed technology and cover. It will end in a global war as is the intention.
There are no ways to fix the world when the elite are intent at breaking it at every turn for a feudal empire.

The false messiah of Barack Hussein Obama is the progenitor of the anti Christ. Everything that Christ overcame will be manifested in the coming last cycle. It will be war, famine, pestilence, disease, want, conflict, chaos, rape and murder.
Demon influence is at an orgy scale in this covenant of Obama election theft. It does not matter that Obama stole the election in being illegitimate, what matters is the masses condoned it by not speaking out, and this binds them to it, and the American nation to demonic possession.
You have witnessed this uneasy change this past 4 years, but will notice the glowing weird faces of those in power enticed by all of this license and now willing to invoke it on the unprotected.
We exist in a demonic world now, and the greater demons will be unleashed as the consumption curve draws power. The Creative energy which brought about the universe will become a counter energy in destruction to end this onslaught.
It is the Age of Obama in the grave of the abyss.
Utter ruin was the warning in 2009. It will only build as this is not utter ruin yet.
