Every reader needs to read this thoroughly. This is the best description of what is going on that I have ever read.

It could easily have been written by the men I know.

: THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.

: IT IS US OR THEM.

: ONLY ONE SPECIES IS GOING TO LIVE THROUGH THIS!

: Quote from "Reign of Fire" and that surprisingly
: symbolic film about dragons ravaging the planet shows what
: MUST be done.

: Slay the dragon before it incinirates the Earth.

: US or THEM.

: What will it be? That is up to you and what you do.

:'Psychological Operations
: Is My Specialty'
: Confessions Of A Covert Agent
: 7-12-8

: This message comes from an anonymous source believed to be
: within the US intelligence community. Some of the
: statements cannot be verified for authenticity, but the
: general themes and references speak for themselves. I've
: researched everything that is possible to research and it
: all stands up. I have no reason to believe any of this is
: untrue. Read it and decide for yourself. -ed

: Psychological Operations is my specialty. PsyOps.

: Everything I've done has been highly classified, all black
: programs and black operations. Some people I know thought I
: worked for the CIA, but it's much more complicated than
: that. I've worked with people in the CIA, DIA, NSC, NSA,
: SAIC, Army Intel and many more lesser known agencies within
: the intelligence apparatus.

: Before focusing on PsyOps I started out running covert combat
: missions, special operations. I was good at what I did and
: rose through the ranks fast. When the "War on
: Terror" started I was paid a lot of money to consult
: with private military contractors. When private
: paramilitary units needed to get the jobs done that paid
: the most money they would come to me with checkbooks filled
: with US taxpayer dough.

: I've seen the worst things imaginable, hell on earth. Had
: friends die in my arms. Seen piles of rotten corpses. Seen
: men, women and children tortured. I've seen the eyes of
: terrified and confused children being sold into a vicious
: life of slavery and an early death.

: I could get a lot more graphic, but you get the idea.

: That was my life, and all along I was told that I was fighting
: for freedom and working for the "good guys." What
: a ridiculous comment that is! In the black world, that is,
: in the covert world, there aren't any "good guys"
: - just varying degrees of evil.

: As Brigadier General Butler famously stated, "War is a
: racket." It doesn't have anything to do with freedom
: and democracy. It is not good fighting evil. There's just a
: bunch of old greedy gangsta mother****ers making obscene
: amounts of cash and breeding hatred, violence, terrorists
: and sex slaves.

: The truth is, there is no oversight! Meaning, you can get away
: with anything, nothing is illegal because no one knows
: about it, or the few who do are either in on it or have a
: vested interest in keeping quiet. Whether you're runnin'
: guns, weapons, drugs, gold, diamonds, women, children, it
: just doesn't matter. As long as the old guard gets their
: resources, it's all good. And in the end, it's all about
: power. The people who really run this planet know that
: natural resources (oil, water, coltan, cobalt, etc.) are
: the key. The "War on Terror" is just a front for
: a geo-strategic resource grab on a massive scale. Even the
: wars in Northern Africa are all about exploitation of
: resources. Once the good ole CIA boys at Bechtel did their
: NASA satellite studies of the Democratic Republic of
: Congo's (DRC) mineral resources and discovered that it was
: the "richest patch of earth on the planet," all
: hell broke loose! They figured out that the DRC has 80% of
: the world's coltan, among many other vital resources.
: Without coltan, you can't have any technology that requires
: a computer chip: computers, cell phones, satellites and
: weapon systems, of course. So Bechtel, the CitiBank boys,
: the World Bank, IMF and various covert elements have been
: supplying brutal regime after brutal regime in the region.
: Well over four million and counting have died there.

: Same thing with oil in the Middle East. Do you think they
: really give a shit about Iraqi freedom? We worked hard to
: make you believe that, but c'mon, they don't give a shit
: about the Iraqi people. They've killed about a MILLION of
: them! And that's NOT an exaggeration! They sure as hell
: give a shit about Iraqi oil though. They also care about
: Saudi oil, and have a nice deal with a dictatorship that
: brutally oppresses their people. If freedom and democracy
: are the issue, how about freeing the Saudi people? Why do
: you think 15 of the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia?
: We support a regime that oppresses those people. We support
: them because they cooperate on the oil front. So, why
: strike back at them? Let's hit Iraq. They don't give us any
: oil - let's get'em!

: If you look at the history of covert special operations, it's
: all about securing a piece of land that has some valuable
: resource. Once the resource is identified, special ops
: figures out the most efficient way to suppress or
: extinguish the population that is unfortunate enough to
: live near it. Then the big companies come in, from the
: United Fruit Company to the Bechtels and Halliburtons of
: the world. That is the way it has been and still is, from
: John D. Rockefeller and Allen Dulles right through
: Kissinger, Bush Sr. and Cheney. Millions of innocent
: civilians have been slaughtered. Let me repeat that:
: Millions of innocent civilians have been slaughtered. And
: I'm not kidding you. These are evil mother****ers and they
: are no friends of ours. These things don't have anything to
: do with protecting the US people or standing up for freedom
: and democracy. They don't give a shit about the average
: American. In this age of the global economy, the concept of
: nation state is obsolete. If only proud Americans could
: understand that. Pride in the American way is just another
: propaganda device for PsyOps agents - people like me - to
: use to manipulate you and make you think that black is
: white and white is black.

: If you were to ask me who is a bigger threat to the people of
: the US, Cheney or bin Laden, or who has done more damage to
: the US, I would say Cheney without hesitation. Cheney,
: along with Bush Sr. and Kissinger, has been running the
: covert world for about 40 years now.

: A little side note for you: I firmly believe Robert Gates, the
: current Secretary of Defense and Bush Sr.'s right-hand man
: in the covert world, used computer cryptography and
: software security assets to get Bush Jr. elected both
: times. I do not have direct knowledge of the operation, but
: research "Robert Gates," "Bill Owens,"
: "electronic voting security," "HAVA,"
: "VoteHere" and "Scientific Applications
: International Corp." [We will post more on this in the
: near future.] The operation went so well that Gates was
: going to be made the first ever Director of National
: Intelligence. He turned down the job, but then took the
: Secretary of Defense position when Rumsfeld was removed
: from his public position. I don't think there will ever be
: solid evidence linking directly to members of the
: administration; it's all a tangled web of plausible
: deniability. But I do think it will eventually be proven
: that the elections were manipulated to deliver Bush the
: victory. Many people in the covert world take this for
: granted, as common sense.

: Please don't confuse this as partisan propaganda. I don't give
: a shit about the Democrat or Republican PsyOps mind-****
: dynamic. They're just labels to divide a potentially
: powerful united US public.

: It's hard to get the average American to understand these
: things. Most everyone in this country has been mind-****ed
: since birth. For a very blatant example, you can look at
: the advertising industry and the way they have increased
: intensely their focus on the youth. It's all about breeding
: impulsive emotionally driven consumers through repetition -
: over and over again - buy, buy, buy. You hear something
: enough and you internalize the message. It becomes
: something like the air you breathe, like gravity. It's
: there, omnipresent, but you don't realize it or consciously
: think about it. It becomes the spring from which your
: thoughts leap forth.

: What it all boils down to is the exposure rate. You take a
: simple message and you repeat it over and over, such as
: mentioning Saddam and 9/11. You don't have to say Saddam
: was involved in 9/11, because that is not true. You just
: have to mention Saddam and 9/11 in the same simple
: repetitive message thousands of times and people will
: support an attack on a country that didn't have anything to
: do with 9/11 because they've been psychologically
: conditioned to link the two.

: It's psychological operations on a grand scale, mass
: psychology. The scientific art of manipulating public
: opinion is 100 years old now. PsyOps have evolved to the
: point, thanks to the all pervasive mass media, where we can
: make you believe, or at least passively accept, whatever we
: want you to. I secretly worked with the world's most
: powerful media companies to get you to believe what
: "they" want you to believe. The media is the most
: efficient weapon of tyranny and oppression ever created. No
: need to physically control populations anymore when you can
: do it mentally - program it in, internalize the rules.

: To give a little more background on publicly revealed
: psychological operations, in 1977, after the Congressional
: Church Committee investigated CIA manipulation of the news
: media, and right after George Bush Sr. left his post as the
: Director of the CIA, famed Watergate reporter Carl
: Bernstein searched a little deeper into what was known as
: Operation Mockingbird. He revealed that over 400 US
: journalists were actually carrying out clandestine CIA
: PsyOps services. Bernstein identified operations involving
: almost every major US news outlet, most notably The New
: York Times, CBS and Time magazine. The CIA responded to all
: of this with a "limited hangout." A "limited
: hangout" is CIA speak for when classified information
: gets out and you have to make it seem as if you are
: "coming clean" with all the information on the
: operation, but in reality you are really just admitting
: part of the operation so you can cover up other deeper
: parts and continue the program. This worked very
: effectively for them, as the US public quickly moved on and
: this operation has largely been forgotten. Currently, I
: would estimate, with cable news and the Internet now, that
: there are well over a thousand covert operatives spread
: throughout the news media. They have a firm grip on
: television, newspapers, wire services, radio and magazines.
: However, with the Internet - that's their weak spot - it's
: too decentralized and difficult to control.

: The Pentagon's Information Operations Roadmap now describes
: the Internet as an enemy "weapons system." The
: Pentagon doesn't hide the fact that they want total control
: over information, or as they call it "information
: dominance." They very plainly state that they seek to
: "control land, sea, space and information." This
: is what they refer to as "full spectrum
: dominance." If you don't think they see this as a top
: priority, look at Iraq. The plan to "embed"
: journalists with the military in Iraq was a strategic
: operation that considered "journalism as part of
: psychological operations." The journalists that
: weren't "embedded" were considered "enemy
: combatants." More journalists have been killed in Iraq
: than in any other war, and it is the US doing a large
: portion of the killing.

: Before I go too far here, the point I want to make to the US
: public, the bottom line is that the most power crazed and
: greed addicted people are above the law and get away with
: everything. In the covert world rules do not apply.
: Democracy is a fairy tale. Nothing is what it seems,
: reality isn't real. Through the looking glass Alice goes.

: I've fought against it and got nowhere. I've informed people
: that I naively thought could do something, but nothing
: could be done. I took all the blood money I've made and
: donated it to humanitarian causes. Will it make a
: difference? No. Not in the grand scheme of things, but in
: the short run it may save a few people maybe. And that's
: all I can hope for at this point.

: I've become so cynical! I live with guilt and cynicism
: weighing on my every move, my every thought.

: When you've seen the things I have seen, been involved with
: the things I've been involved with, when you've spent the
: majority of your life living like I have, what do you do
: when you decide to give it up and get out? Can you ever get
: out?

: I was able to get out, thus far, when no one I knew thought I
: could get out. But once you lived in the covert world,
: "normal" civilian life feels like a prison
: sentence. Then again, the covert world was a prison
: sentence.

: I've been strongly advised to keep a very low profile and
: forget about things for a while. But I find it hard to just
: fade into the night when we are reaching an event horizon,
: a breaking point. Despite my cynicism, there is a part of
: me that knows I have to keep fighting. The stakes are just
: too high, higher then they've ever been. The human species
: is in serious trouble, facing a set of crises unlike
: anything we've ever faced before. Unless these covert
: forces are exposed, and ultimately eliminated, I don't see
: how we can even begin to make the bold actions that we need
: to start making now - and I mean right ****ing now! These
: covert forces are a root cause and driver, a cancer
: spreading through the system and planet.

: As far as I can tell, you can't change the system from within
: the intelligence community itself. This includes the Senate
: Intel Committee. If the urgently needed changes are ever to
: happen, it has to come from the US public. Now I know first
: hand how the American public has been conditioned to be
: apathetic and not get involved in politics and has been fed
: a steady diet of misinformation. But propaganda only works
: to the point where the population being propagandized is
: not feeling the direct impact and negative consequences on
: a personal level in their daily lives. That's why the draft
: played a large role in bringing an end to Vietnam. We need
: another draft to push the mainstream over the edge and into
: action, but the façade is beginning to crack - 9/11 had
: some effect, the war in Iraq certainly, Katrina, massive
: job loses and an economic downturn that has really just
: begun have all factored into creating a critical mass. Even
: the most propagandized population in the history of
: civilization will have to act when their very survival and
: well-being is directly threatened and impacted. I just hope
: enough people will understand the need for bold decisive
: action now, before it's too late.

: So, to the people who have awareness of the problems facing
: us, if I could give advice, it would be this: 1. Try the
: Bush Administration for war crimes. If the case could ever
: be brought to court, the evidence to convict is definitely
: there. This is why the administration has been strongly
: against the International Criminal Court. If we are to
: begin repairing this country, and the world, we must begin
: by showing these power crazed and covert forces that they
: are accountable. If we can convict someone like Cheney, we
: will send a powerful message to the covert world. If we let
: them walk, we will keep having these problems. New people
: will follow them and take their place.

: 2. Investigate where all the military spending has been
: vanishing off to. There are literally trillions of taxpayer
: dollars unaccounted for. This money is fueling the covert
: world and terrorism in general. As part of this, I would
: include an investigation into war profiteering as well.

: 3. Make it mandatory that all electronic voting machines must
: have a 100% verifiable paper trail.

: 4. Get people into the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
: who will smash the current media ownership rules. The
: concentration of media ownership is the foundation of the
: covert power structure. Without that, the whole thing is a
: house of cards. That's why the FCC is currently trying to
: ram through rules that will further consolidate media
: ownership before the Bush
: administration leaves office. As part of this, it is pivotal
: that we protect the open architecture of the Internet. The
: media belongs to the people, as does the government, in
: theory anyway, but we need an information system that
: actually serves the public interest.

: 5. Declare a national and global emergency on the
: environmental front. We have already reached the breaking
: point. We need organized, governmental, policy driven, bold
: action now.

: 6. We need to address entities that now have power over the
: Constitution, such as the undemocratic and unelected
: corporate global governing structure - institutions like
: the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International
: Monetary Fund (IMF) and "agreements" like NAFTA
: and DR-CAFTA, to name a few. Most Americans don't even know
: what these power structures are, let alone that they have
: power that supersedes the Constitution. We must also
: address the National Security Act, that's where the
: ultimate power of our country lies. The National Security
: Act has effectively made the Constitution meaningless and
: is the primary driver of the covert world. The PATRIOT Act
: and various other newly granted powers must also be
: drastically revised or eliminated completely in order to
: protect our civil liberties.

: 7. Lastly, we need to have publicly financed elections. As
: long as we have a system that requires candidates to raise
: tens of millions of dollars to even be considered for
: office, we will have politicians who bend over backwards
: for the richest one percent and the most powerful elements
: of society at the citizens' expense. An important aspect of
: this has to be a requirement for large media companies to
: provide candidates with free airtime. Candidates have to
: spend the majority of their money on advertising in the
: mainstream media. That's why the major news media spend so
: much time focusing on who is raising the most money,
: because they are the ones who end up with all that money.
: Once we have publicly financed elections and free airtime
: for candidates, we will get people in office who will work
: in the interests of the public because they are not
: beholden to the large and powerful entities. When you have
: politicians depending on the public instead of the private
: sector for survival, all the issues mentioned above could
: be addressed because they won't have to fear the withdrawal
: of support from large corporations and the wealthy and
: powerful who do not want these things to happen. This will
: also enable us to eliminate tax breaks for the richest one
: percent, put an end to corporate welfare practices, and
: stop funding for obscene military and prison industrial
: companies that are profiting off of disasters and no longer
: serve security interests. Then we can redirect that money
: into environmental, education, health care and social
: security programs, to mention a few.

: In the current political environment this may all sound like
: an unrealistic pipe dream, but these are the seven pivotal
: things that MUST happen. If all seven don't happen within
: the next few years, we will have set the world on a
: disastrously irreversible course. This is "the
: unfortunate reality of our current situation." It is
: not going to be easy, but you better start fighting for it
: now, while we still can.

: It really does come down to us. You have to personally, in
: your daily life, do everything you can. With enough public
: pressure all of these things are achievable. Once we get a
: small portion of the population acting in this direction,
: it will quickly catch on and spread. Even though the
: overwhelming majority of the US population is incredibly
: propagandized on the surface, just underneath is the
: realization of the need for mass action. They just need
: leaders to point this out. The mainstream just needs a
: spark. Do what you can to set it off. It is a matter of
: unprecedented significance.
