Well, in my humble opinion, those who controlled the Media ten years
ago...fifty years ago...one hundred years ago...etc, are the same
folks. Only the names have been changed... That would be the days
current Establishment. At times I feel that Israel bullies the
Palestinians just to prove that Jews are as human as are all other
Human Beings.
Being born in 19 35, I grew up in a world that told one another that
we, Americans were the Free World, and as such, we loved our fellow
man.
Forget our treatment of our Black Citizens, and look the other way
while we allowed our Japanese Americans to be locked up and their
property stolen, and why worry about how we treated our Banana
Republics...and on and on and on.
We like to pretend that we are the enlightened ones, but under our
skins of various color, we bully others around because that is the fun
part of being the rich and powerful. What benefit would there be if
we struggled to cheat one another in order to climb to the top of the
heap, if we could not enjoy the plunder and Control that we gained
from our greedy march over the bodies of those folk who were just too
weak? Survival of the fittest, and all that!
But then, if we focused on the real problem, we would discover that
what we needed to do would be to eliminate ourselves. After all, we
really are the Planet's worst nightmare.

Miriam, you are probably just a lucky for AIPACC if you parrot the same
lines that any criticism of Israel has anything to do with any feeling
towards the Jewish faith, which I also have in blood lines and which is why
my father’s middle name is Geza. Since my wife is a Jew I know very well the
difference between the Jewish faith and Israel. The Jewish faith is a
religion and Israel is a terrorist state responsible for atrocities. Your
position runs very convenient duck and cover for a state that is responsible
for deaths even as we speak. And, if you think Israel only limits its murder
to the Middle East then take a closer look at Shin Bet’s operations
world-wide. And if you don’t think it manipulates mass media just remember
what happens to journalists that have spoken out against Israeli atrocities.
Also don’t try to explain who you are or who your family is. You are well
known in the NY area among other blind folks and they can be quite vocal.

Frank,
Usually I manage to refrain from responding to things that you say which
seem really weird of paranoid or just plain crazy. But I know the difference
between fair criticism of Israel and anti-Semitic slurs because I come from
a Jewish background. I grew up in the 1940's when anti Jewish sentiment was
right out there in the open. My family was turned away from hotels because
of anti-Semitism. I even had a psychotherapist once who turned out to harbor
anti Jewish feelings. So I know it when I see it and I do not accept it from
anyone, anywhere!

Miriam, do you really think any book could mention Israel and not get its
publisher blacklisted or worse? Just remember who runs the media.

I can list other books as well. None of them mention Israel. I have no love

Miriam, while the CIA cooperated with the JFK assassination it was Mossad
that was calling the shots, no pun intended. My wife's father was a young
Shin Bet officer at the time. He brags about how Israel killed the Kennedy's
before they had a chance to take a more aggressive stance against Israeli
occupation and more importantly expansion. While Richard (that’s his name)
can prove he was in Dallas that day he cant prove what role he played. He is
so proud of the Kennedy killings that he would make you believe he was even
one of the trigger men. Obviously he wasn’t but he would love for folks to
think he was.

Carl, from the books I've recently read, the CIA was involved in the murder
of JFK so it isn't even the palace guard. It is guarding that ruling class
that you and Roger often refer to.

Looks like the fox guarding the hen house. But then I never thought of the
CIA as being the caretakers of America's morals. Nor have I ever thought
that the CIA was looking out for the wellbeing of all Americans. The CIA,
in my view, was set in place to serve as the Palace Guard.

Sex Crimes of the CIA—Unreported, Unrepented, and Unpunished -
CovertAction Magazine
[Source: thespec.com<http://thespec.com/>]
The CIA rivals the Vatican in covering up sex crimes against children
and then protecting the members of its organization who commit them
Buzzfeed reported early this month that, in response to a Freedom of
Information Act lawsuit, the CIA revealed that 10 employees and a
contractor had committed sex crimes against children—but only one was
ever charged with a crime.
Considering how well the CIA knows how to cover up what it does not
want to be known, we may reasonably speculate that those crimes
represent only the tip of an iceberg—and I say this as someone who served 15
years in the CIA.
The evidence that the CIA released to Buzzfeed in response to a
Freedom of Information Act lawsuit shows that the 10 employees and one
contractor committed crimes including child rape, the purchase of
violent child pornography, and viewing as many as 1,400 photos of nude
children on a CIA computer while overseas on a work assignment.
The contractor had arranged to have sex with an undercover FBI agent
who he thought was a child. The only CIA officer prosecuted for child
sex crimes had also mishandled classified information. Four of the
other accused employees and the contractor were fired, four were
“disciplined administratively,” and the status of one is unknown.
Let’s be clear about these crimes.
These were not “he said, she said” allegations. They were serious sex
crimes against children.
The Buzzfeed information, which includes both internal CIA documents
and a declassified Inspector General’s report, say that besides the
contractor, CIA officers admitted to, “using a government laptop to
view photographs and videos of girls as young as 10 being abused by an
older guy;” having sexual contact with two girls, ages two and six,
and downloading illicit photos of other children; downloading 63
videos of sex between adults and children between the ages of 8 and
16; and distributing lewd photos and videos of children to other
pedophiles.
One CIA officer told investigators that he “did not know it was a
violation of Agency policy to access child pornography.” He was not
prosecuted.

For its part, the Justice Department elected to do practically
nothing, notwithstanding a statement to Buzzfeed that, “The occupation
or employer of the suspect does not factor into that evaluation” (of
whether or not to
prosecute.) “While we cannot comment on the reasons why specific cases
were declined, we do take very seriously any allegation that our
prosecutors declined a potential case based on an improper assessment
of the relevant factors.”
That’s nonsense. The truth is that the Justice Department was afraid
of graymail. That’s the threat of a CIA officer on trial
“accidentally” saying something classified or something that compromises
sources and methods.
It’s
not worth the risk to the CIA to prosecute most cases. And the bottom
line is that the CIA doesn’t care one whit about the children.
I spent 15 years at the CIA. It is a highly-sexualized environment
full of type A personalities, sociopaths, and psychopaths. We had an
old joke that, when you went into a meeting, you should never touch
the conference room table because you didn’t know who was having sex on it
the night before.

There was one incident in a war zone overseas while I was there where
CIA officers were passing around to each other a sexually-transmitted
disease unique to the CIA. A CIA doctor had to fly to the country to
tell them to stop and to remind them to practice safe sex.
Further afield, it was a common occurrence for CIA case officers
developing foreign officials for recruitment to offer them trips to
southeast Asia, where both could partake of prostitutes and indulge in
whatever sexual fantasies they had.
I note in my first book, The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the
CIA’s War on Terror, that one of my senior bosses, with whom I had had
a dispute, tried to lighten the mood by telling me to take some money
out of petty cash to pay for oral sex. I declined, angrily.

I have a standard ethics speech where I give the following scenario to
the audience. Let’s say that you’re a CIA case officer and that you’ve
recruited a bona fide member of a foreign terrorist group. The source
is prolific, and he has given you information that you’ve used to
disrupt terrorist attacks and save lives.
But you go to meet the source one night and he tells you that he isn’t
giving you any more information until you get him a prostitute. Do you
do it?
Usually, about three quarters of the audience says yes. The correct
CIA answer is yes, you do it.
It’s an awful thing to do, but you have to think of the greater good,
right?
But what if the source asks you to get him a child prostitute? Do you
do it?
Of course not! Not under any circumstances.
The point of my speech, though, is that there are very few actual
rules at the CIA. Each officer has to rely on his or her personal morals and
ethics.
Many of them don’t have any.
Case officers get promoted for recruitments and for the development of
classified information. They don’t care about human trafficking. They
don’t care about prostitution. And as it turns out, they don’t even
care about abused children.
It’s accurate to say that I was “shocked but not surprised” when I
read the Buzzfeed allegations.
All Americans should be sickened by them.
I know that I sound like a broken record when I ask, “Where is the
Congressional oversight?”
Why aren’t there hearings or investigations about child sex crimes at
the CIA? Why aren’t the House and Senate Judiciary Committees
investigating why the U.S. Attorneys refuse to take up the cases? Why
are children not being protected?
It’s easy enough to say that we get the government we deserve. But
somebody has to stand up for children. The CIA won’t do it. The
Justice Department apparently won’t. Now that the cat is out of the bag,
where do we go next?
