The Pentagon is set to create [yet another new intelligence / defense / espionage organization] to focus on global strategic threats and the challenges posed by countries including Iran, North Korea, and China. The move will bring to 17 the total number of intelligence organizations in the US.

The Defense Clandestine Service is supposed to work closely with its counterpart in the CIA, the National Clandestine Service, recruiting spies from the ranks of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and deploying them globally on perceived long-term threats to US national interests.

Hayden’s Note:

Just what we need.  As if the DHS, ICE, HSI, FBI, ATF, DEA, CIA, DIA, NSA, TSA, NCS, TFI, INR, NRO, ONI, NSI, DOD, and the CBP weren’t enough, now we get another “defense intelligence” organization.

Welcome to 1984.

After Google played a central role in the campaign in rallying the public against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R – MI) claims that Google is secretly supporting the bill many are calling “SOPA 2.”

Hayden’s Note:

You can file this one under, “Duh!”  Google recently tried appealing to the common man and acting as though they were staunchly against CISPA.  I’ve learned to distrust any mega-corporation, especially one that has such bedroom-ties to the NSA, cyber-security, politics, and an endless checkbook… especially when they can profit handsomely from getting the bill passed.

“They’ve been helpful and supportive of trying to find the right language in the bill,” Rogers said of Google, who declined to comment one way or the other on the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), the new bill.

The bill aims primarily at the sharing of private information, empowering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect data from private companies on anything they decide is a “cyber threat.”

A trawl of Chinese crowdsourcing websites—where people can earn a few pennies for small jobs such as labeling images—has uncovered a multimillion-dollar industry that pays hundreds of thousands of people to distort interactions in social networks and to post spam.

The report’s authors, at the University of California, Santa Barbara, also found evidence that crowdsourcing sites in the U.S. are similarly dominated by ethically questionable jobs. They conclude that the rapid growth of this way of making money will make paid shills a serious security problem for websites and those who use them around the world.

Ben Zhao, an associate professor of computer science at UCSB (and a TR35 winner in 2006), started looking into the largely uncharted crowdsourcing industry in China… Zhao was intrigued to see a lot of relatively sophisticated attempts to send spam and promote brands by users that appeared to be working with specific agendas.

When he and colleagues investigated the source of that activity, the team was surprised by what it found, says Zhao: “Evil crowdsourcing on a very large scale.” Influencing public opinion with fake “grassroots” activity is known as astroturfing, leading Zhao to coin the term “crowdturfing,” since it is done via large crowdsourcing sites....

In what represents the most confrontation between the West and Russia over the issue of Syrian intervention to date, Haaretz reports that a Syrian news agency said that Russian warships are due to arrive in Syrian territorial waters.

Haaretz characterizes this move as “a clear message to the West that Moscow would resist any foreign intervention in the country’s civil unrest,” and indeed it is a clear message that comes with threat of military repercussions.

Hayden’s Note:

In most news reports regarding Syria, you’ll often see the mainstream media use the phrase, “…mostly unarmed protesters…”  What this signifies and plainly says – without making a big deal out of it – is that some protesters ARE armed and that Syria is cracking down on it.  Would you expect the United States Gov’t to stand idle if thousands of armed protesters began shooting up Wall Street with RPGs and heavy machine guns? 

These “mostly unarmed protesters” are simply the same old tactic that was used in Egypt, Somalia, Libya, and several other countries.  It is a clear cut, textbook play from the intelligence community.  If the US wants regime change in Syria, they co-opt “People’s Revolutions” or simply start them in order to topple the leader.  In Syria, it seems as though they have ramped it up a bit, choosing armed insurrection over Tweets and Facebook – much like Libya, who is now flying the black flag of al-Qaeda…err, excuse me, All-CIA-Duh, over its capital buildings....

Israel’s prime minister has ordered an investigation into alleged leaks of plans to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, it has been reported.

According to the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida, the main suspects are the former heads of the Mossad and the Shin Bet, respectively Israel’s foreign and domestic intelligence agencies.

Netanyahu is said to believe that the two, Meir Dagan and Yuval Diskin, wanted to torpedo plans being drawn up by him and Ehud Barak, the defence minister, to hit Iranian nuclear sites.

Hayden’s Note:

This is interesting, for a number of reasons. I’ve been hearing whispers and rumors in various circles regarding a… shift; a shift in the strategic military and intelligence players’ way of thinking.  I’ve heard hints of two different factions within the intelligence world and it’s not what you’d think.  There are many senior and former senior members that seem to be doing everything they can to thwart a coming global war and to slow the massive machinery of the power grabbers.  From stories about the underground bases and military tunnels in Denver and Virginia being bombed, to rumors of this Israeli intelligence defiance (of all people!) … something is peculier....

The wave of civil unrest that has swept the globe over the past year has prompted the Department of Homeland Security to step up its monitoring of Twitter and other social networks in a bid to pre-empt any sign of social dislocation within the United States.

“Department of Homeland Security Undersecretary Caryn Wagner said the use of such technology in uprisings that started in December in Tunisia shocked some officials into attention and prompted questions of whether the U.S. needs to do a better job of monitoring domestic social networking activity,” reports the Associated Press.

Wagner announced that the federal agency would implement new guidelines that would focus on “gleaning information from sites such as Twitter and Facebook for law enforcement purposes.”

Under the new framework, when the department receives information about a “potential threat,” it will then ask its contractors to look for relevant search references using “open source” information.

Although it’s somewhat naive to think that Homeland Security wasn’t already scanning the likes of Facebook and Twitter for social trends and signs of civil unrest, the fact that its now being announced publicly illustrates the increasing concern that riots which have hit the Middle East and Europe over the last 18 months will soon manifest themselves inside the United States....

The Washington Post, one of a handful of media outlets alerted to the public court documents by a London-based rights group, said they include flight logs and logs of phone calls to CIA headquarters and officials.

On Aug. 12, 2003, a Gulfstream IV aircraft carrying six passengers took off from Dulles International Airport and flew to Bangkok with fueling stops in Cold Bay, Alaska, and Osaka, Japan.

Before it returned four days later, the plane also touched down in Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates and Ireland. As these unusual flights happened, U.S. officials took custody of an Indonesian terrorist, Riduan Isamuddin, who had been captured in Thailand and would spend the next three years being shuttled among secret prisons operated by the CIA.

The Gulfstream IV’s itinerary, as well as the $339,228.05 price tag for the journey, are among the details of shadowy CIA flights that have emerged in a small Upstate New York courthouse in a billing dispute between contractors. The court documents offer a rare glimpse of the costs and operations of the controversial rendition program....

The CIA has plans to relocate the headquarters of its domestic division, which is responsible for operations and recruitment in the United States, from the CIA’s Langley headquarters to Denver, a move designed to promote innovation, according to U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials.

Hayden’s Note:

This is interesting news for a variety of reasons…  Mostly conspiratorial reasons, but I find it quite interesting, nonethless.  The entire hub of domestic CIA work is headed towards Denver, and more than likely, will be stationed underneath the expansive Denver International Airport. 

From Langley, Virginia to Denver, Colorado.  I’m pretty sure there are intracontinental military tunnels connecting the two locations, as well as the Denver International Airport to many other places.  Also, similarly strong earthquakes rocked both locations last week.  Do I smell a conspiracy theory brewing?

The half-brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai was assassinated by a trusted local security official Tuesday, a political killing that was immediately claimed by the Taliban and makes grimly clear the vulnerability of Afghan officials as the United States prepares to reduce its military presence.

Ahmed Wali Karzai — head of Kandahar’s provincial council and widely considered the most powerful man in southern Afghanistan — was meeting with tribal elders and politicians in his heavily fortified home in downtown Kandahar city Tuesday morning, according to two people at the house at the time.

Hayden’s Note:

Lovely.  The mainstream media is already using this to twist the “reduction of military presence.”  This has NOTHING to do with a reduction of military presence and has everything to do with intelligence operations, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, tribal warlords, opium, defense contractors, perhaps Russia and even the CIA.

Hopefully, if the Russians have any cojones – like I imagine they DO, at least back in the KGB days – they were behind this.  And rightly so.  Russia has fallen victim to the incredible surge of heroin since the US invasion and subsequent opium field protection by US soldiers.  See, before the invasion, the Taliban was keeping the opium production to a minimum and within stable hands.  Since the invasion, people such as Ahmed Karzai – who runs and owns one of the largest para-military security companies in Afghanistan, rules the Helmand and Kandahar province and extracts bribes and compensation for use of strategic routes such as Highway 1 – have been in control, courtesy of defense contractors and intelligence agencies....

The Economist magazine is out with an article entitled “The end of mass media: Coming full circle.” It actually provides us with a kind of sub-dominant social theme – that “social media” take us back to the pamphleteering days of Samuel Johnson, Ben Franklin, Thomas Paine and others.

This has been, in a sense, a message of ours for many years. And here at DB, we’ve regularly compared the output of the Gutenberg Press and its revolutionary influence to the Internet. The Economist is about 10 years late in joining the party.

Even so, I think The Economist is making the wrong comparison and doing it on purpose. Blogs and websites are a far more appropriate comparison to the Gutenberg Press than “social media.”

There is likely a reason that The Economist, a power elite mouthpiece, wants to talk up social media. Here’s the beginning of an article from Global Research written way back in March 2009, when Facebook only had 20 million users but was well on its way to success:

Undeclared Israeli Nuclear Weapons: CIA Knew In 1974 That Israel Had Nuclear Weapons

Commentary and Title change by Kevin Hayden

Much attention has been placed on Iran and their supposed nuclear weapons program by the United States and Israel.

What isn’t talked about on a regular basis in the corporate controlled media is the fact that Israel has an illegal, undeclared nuclear arsenal.  While many are already aware of the facts regarding the Israeli Nuclear Program, there is an absurd amount of people who still pretend Israel is a sitting duck surrounded by powerful enemies.

Hayden’s Note:

This is a topic that I have brought up time and time again.  Israel is not a helpless victim.  They are a nuclear-armed country with financial backing from the United States.  In fact, they receive more financial and military aid from the United States than any other country in the world.  And they have nukes.  And Israel is not a signatory on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. 

So, when Israel whines and cries about Iran gaining nuclear capability, I have ZERO sympathy for them.  Or anyone else for that matter.  Iran is a sovereign nation, like it or not, and if Israel, the United States, India, Pakistan, France, the UK, China, etc can have nuclear capability, why can Iran not?  You want to talk about liberty issues?  Fairness?  Sovereign means just that; sovereign.  And this policy of pre-emptively striking countries is absurd and not in line with the Rule of Law, both technically and morally.  Iran is years and years away from having a refined weapon of mass destruction and until that day comes; until they have the intention and capability, you can’t undermine their sovereignty. 

When the designers and engineers of the first atomic weapon described it as “opening Pandora’s box,” they were correct.  We were the first to design and use one and now have to constantly play this juggling act and make sure only certain others acquire the technology and material.  We made this bed and now we get to lie in it.  Sadly, we often DO “lie” about weapons of mass destruction, other nations’ intentions and justify pillaging a country for its resources as “protective, pre-emptive kinetic action, limited in scope and duration.”

Granted, this is my non-interventionist, peaceful-while-still-being-protective opinion. 

The reality is that our government knew, as far back as 1974, that Israel most likely possessed nuclear weapons.  In 2008 the National Security Archive released a once classified CIA document that indicated that Israel already had a stockpile of nuclear weapons in 1974....

The two articles on TruthOffering.com that garner the most attention, both ask the exact same question:

Who owns the TV networks?

And it’s a great question; one you should know the answer to.

The first article I posted on this topic was written by Eustace Mullins. It’s a great piece that examines those who run the television networks on an individual level.

The second article examines which corporations own which television channels; also a very beneficial article that allows you to dissect each channel’s agenda based on what their top-level corporate interests are.

Polish state prosecutors are considering bringing charges against members of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) for their alleged involvement in secret CIA prisons located on Polish soil between 2002-2005. The prisons were allegedly used to torture terrorist suspects from al-Qaeda.

Officials from the leftist SLD government in power at the time, including former Prime Minister Leszek Miller, may be charged with violating Poland’s constitution, helping to illegally imprison a number of people and with participating in crimes against humanity.

Hayden’s Note:

How about bringing some of those charges against those actually responsible for it, such as the Bush Regime, the CIA, private “defense” contractors and others?  If the Polish go down in flames for “crimes against humanity” for merely assisting; for simply offering a place for these torture interrogations to take place, what should those responsible for the actual torture be held for?  Sickening.  All of it.  Intelligence is not gained from torture.  It is gained from analyzing reports, interviews, tips, informants, street actions and quality, covert operatives. 

Anyone can bully their way into a country when flanked by M1 Abram tanks and an Air Force, capture random people and torture them until they glean a tiny fraction of knowledge.  But to truly be an investigator, to conduct an intelligence operation while maintaining some semblence of ethical and moral integrity, it takes a lot more skill.  Besides, torture just doesn’t work as well as most think and then you spend your time analyzing all sorts of false and confusing information that you’ve been fed from a half-crazed, tortured street soldier....

In a sensational and explosive TV report, the Pakistani News Agency has provided a live interview with an eye witness to the US attack on the alleged compound of Osama bin Laden. The eye witness, Mohammad Bashir, describes the event as it unfolded. Of the three helicopters, “there was only one that landed the men and came back to pick them up, but as he [the helicopter] was picking them up, it blew away and caught fire.” The witness says that there were no survivors, just dead bodies and pieces of bodies everywhere. “We saw the helicopter burning, we saw the dead bodies, then everything was removed and now there is nothing.”

I always wondered how a helicopter could crash, as the White House reported, without at least producing injuries. Yet, in the original White House story, the SEALs not only survived a 40-minute firefight with al Qaeda, “the most highly trained, most dangerous, most vicious killers on the planet,” without a scratch, but also survived a helicopter crash without a scratch....

Veterans from the most infamous private security firm on Earth and one of the military’s most controversial datamining operations are teaming up to provide the Fortune 500 with their own private spies.

Take one part Blackwater, and another part Able Danger, the military data-mining op that claimed to have identified members of al-Qaida living in the United States before 9/11. Put ‘em together, and you’ve got a new company called Jellyfish.

Jellyfish is about corporate-information dominance. It swears it’s leaving all the spy-world baggage behind. No guns, no governments digging through private records of its citizens.

“Our organization is not going to be controversial,” pledges Keith Mahoney, the Jellyfish CEO, a former Navy officer and senior executive with Blackwater’s intelligence arm, Total Intelligence Solutions. Try not to make a joke about corporate mercenaries.

Jellyfish’s chief technology officer is J.D. Smith, who was part of Able Danger until lawyers for the U.S. Special Operations Command shut the program down in 2000. Also from Able Danger is Tony Shaffer, Jellyfish’s “military operations adviser” and the ex-Defense Intelligence Agency operative who became the public face of the program in dramatic 2005 congressional testimony....

Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, shockingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.

Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.

Recruited by Lawrence Eagleburger as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Management, Pieczenik went on to develop, “the basic tenets for psychological warfare, counter terrorism, strategy and tactics for transcultural negotiations for the US State Department, military and intelligence communities and other agencies of the US Government,” while also developing foundational strategies for hostage rescue that were later employed around the world....

A former undercover FBI informant who once told ABC News he could’ve stopped the Sept. 11 attacks is in custody in El Paso, Texas, after he allegedly tried to run over a police officer.

On Thursday, El paso police attempted to pull over Elie Assaad for speeding, according to an officer’s complaint. Assaad allegedly refused to stop and instead led the police officer on a chase that ended up racing through University of Texas El Paso campus.

Eventually, Assaad did stop, but when the officer got out of his vehicle to approach Assaad’s car, Assaad rammed him before taking off again as the officer opened fire on the car, El Paso police spokesman Darrel Petry told ABC News.

The chase only ended when Assaad flipped his vehicle on a nearby street. He was apprehended shortly afterwards.

Assaad, 38, has been charged with assaulting the officer, but Petry said police do not know why Assaad fled in the first place. No illicit materials were reportedly found in the car. At some point during the chase, a woman got out of Assaad’s car and ran away on foot, Petry said....

Double murder-accused US official Raymond Davis has been found in possession of top-secret CIA documents, which point to him or the feared American Task Force 373 (TF373) operating in the region, providing Al-Qaeda terrorists with “nuclear fissile material” and “biological agents,” according to a report.

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is warning that the situation on the sub-continent has turned “grave” as it appears that open warfare is about to break out between Pakistan and the United States, The European Union Times reports.

The SVR warned in its report that the apprehension of 36-year-old Davis, who shot dead two Pakistani men in Lahore last month, had fuelled this crisis.

According to the report, the combat skills exhibited by Davis, along with documentation taken from him after his arrest, prove that he is a member of US’ TF373 black operations unit currently operating in the Afghan War Theatre and Pakistan’s tribal areas, the paper said.

While the US insists that Davis is one of their diplomats, and the two men he killed were robbers, Pakistan says that the duo were ISI agents sent to follow him after it was discovered that he had been making contact with al Qaeda, after his cell phone was tracked to the Waziristan tribal area bordering Afghanistan, the paper said....

The US State Department has begun sending Twitter messages to Iranians, alluding to the “historic role” social media have played in mass protests against Iran’s 2009 disputed presidential polls.

The Twitter feeds began Sunday as US officials accused Iran of hypocrisy by supporting the anti-government revolt in Egypt but seeking to prevent anti-government demonstrations in Iran.

Gee, imagine that.  The State Department is trying to stir up problems and create drama in Iran.  Pretty bold of them to do it so openly on Twitter.  But, that’s a sign of the times we’re in.  The intelligence and defense community can openly taunt other countries, on social media and get away with it.  This is a blatant attempt to create another “color-coded revolution.”

On the Twitter account, USAdarFarsi, the State Department said it “recognizes historic role of social media among Iranians We want to join in your conversations.”

In another Tweet, the State Department said: “Iran has shown that the activities it praised Egyptians for it sees as illegal, illegitimate for its own people.”

In a third Tweet, it said “US calls on Iran to allow people to enjoy same universal rights to peacefully assemble, demonstrate as in Cairo.”

Major Edward A. Dames, United States Army (ret.), is a decorated military intelligence officer and an original member of the U.S. Army prototype remote viewing training program. He served as both training and operations officer for the US government’s top secret psychic espionage unit.

The recent movie, The Men Who Stare at Goats, was based in-part on this secret Army program.  After only a few short years of remote viewing, Ed Dames – a Captain at the time – received multiple citations and awards for uncovering Soviet weapon locations, plots and threats.

In a recent interview, Dames discussed the current cases his private remote viewing agency is working on, as well as provided updates on sunspot activity and military events around the world, including a possible terrorist attack on the US in which fuel-air weapons are to be employed.

When we first reported on the rumored “confiscation” of 1.5 tons (or is that tonnes?) of gold by deposed Tunisian surging food inflation-beneficiary Ben Ali, we joked that the next WGC update of Tunisian gold assets would be strangely lower by 23%. Once again, the Onion-like reality sets in as we uncover we were right. Dow Jones reports that “Tunisia’s central bank this week said it held about 5.3 tons, but dismissed reports that the family of ex-leader Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had withdrawn the gold, saying the bank vaults were “under draconian security measures.” Um, yeah, that’s just off by the amount that Ben Ali is now desperately trying to eat…

From Dow Jones:

Tunisia had 6.8 tons of gold in December, a level unchanged for at least a decade, according to a December online report issued by the World Gold Council, which is also in line with estimates issued by the International Monetary Fund in October.

The WGC regularly publishes global statistics on gold and is considered an authority on the sector.

According to French intelligence cited by French daily Le Monde, Ben Ali’s wife Leila Trabelsi had gone to the bank to withdraw the gold.

Update at bottom – Cause of death: Blunt Force Trauma from Attack

On December 28th, 2010, John Wheeler III boarded a train in Washington and eventually ended up in a landfill.  Newark Police are investigating the death of John Wheeler III, but because of his work at the Pentagon, there has been some communication with the FBI, according to Newark police spokesman Lt. Mark Farrall.

Wheeler was a Pentagon official in three Presidential administrations, working for Presidents Reagan, Bush I and Bush II, and was instrumental in helping build the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.  According to a USA Today article, Wheeler also worked as a lawyer on the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), helped found the Earth Conservation Corps under President George Bush I and was later CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers during Bush I′s presidency.

He was no mere lawyer for the SEC – He was the Assistant General Counsel, Special Counsel to Chairman, and Secretary, for the Securities and Exchange Commission from 1978-1986.  His work included major insider trading investigations.  Hmmmm.

When Wheeler was murdered, he was working as a consultant for a defense contractor named Mitre, which–according to the company website–deals in “aviation system development, defense & intelligence, federal sector modernization and homeland security.”  Mitre is now working the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), one of the fastest growing sectors of defense contracting, where a virtual treasure trove of taxpayer dollars are being paid to private and public corporations....

Cass Sunstein, President Obama’s appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated “cognitive infiltration” of groups that advocate “conspiracy theories,” such as the ones surrounding 9/11.

A Harvard law professor at the time, Sunstein co-wrote an academic article entitled “Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures,” in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine” those groups.

As head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is in charge of “overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs,” according to the White House Web site.

Sunstein suggests that people who believe in conspiracy theories have a limited number of sources of information that they go to and trust. Therefore, Sunstein argued in the article, it would not work to simply refute the conspiracy theories in public — the very sources that conspiracy theorists believe would have to be infiltrated.  An admired and trusted “spokesman” or leader would need to be created or compromised....

A counter-terrorism consultant told a meeting of law enforcement officials that the way to combat militant Muslims is to “kill them … including the children,” says a news report.

The comment highlights growing concerns among human rights advocates that US law enforcement is turning to extremists for training in the fight against terrorism. It also highlights concerns among senior counter-terrorism officials that standards for counter-terror training are inappropriate, and possibly harming national security.

According to Berlet’s anonymous source, Shoebat’s comments got a warm reception from at least some of the people attending the conference:

New York Rep. Peter King has exploited the hysteria surrounding the Wikileaks case to introduce legislation to make it illegal to publish the names of American intelligence sources who provide information to the US military or intelligence community, according to Homeland Security Today.

King has called Assange a terrorist and demands Eric Holder and the Justice Department deal with him.

HR 6506, called the SHIELD Act (Securing Human Intelligence and Enforcing Lawful Dissemination), is a companion bill to a Senate bill introduced earlier this month by senators Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), John Ensign (R-Nev.), and Scott Brown (R-Mass.). Both bills would amend U.S. Code Title 18 Section 798, also called the Espionage Act, to provide legal protections that already apply to communications intelligence to human intelligence sources.

“Julian Assange and his cronies, in their effort to hinder our war efforts, are creating a hit list for our enemies by publishing the names of our human intelligence sources,” Ensign said in a statement. “Our sources are bravely risking their lives when they stand up against the tyranny of al Qaeda, the Taliban, and murderous regimes, and I simply will not stand idly by as they become death targets because of Julian Assange....
