Unholy Trinity - Bolton, Negroponte and Hayden

Postby seemslikeadream » Fri May 06, 2005 9:47 pm

The unholy trinity of electronic snooping: Bolton, Negroponte and Hayden<br><br>By Wayne Madsen<br>Online Journal Contributing Writer<br><br>May 5, 2005—As the Senate Foreign Relations Committee prepares to vote on the nomination of Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security John Bolton to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, further details are emerging from within the U.S. Intelligence Community on unofficial and back channel intelligence operations directed over the past four years from neo-conservative cells in Vice President Dick Cheney's office, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the National Security Agency (NSA). <br><br>....<br><br>However, the reign of terror instituted by Hayden and his staff against NSA employees has resulted in a blowback effect. Although NSA employees are known for being the most indoctrinated in the intelligence community in that they have no historical legacy in revealing classified information to the public, their mistreatment has resulted in a number of embarrassing disclosures:<br><br>1. NSA has recorded tactical communications intelligence—overheard on a speaker system in the NSOC—that demonstrates that United Flight 93 was shot down by U.S. fighter planes over Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, and the Bush administration concocted a phony "patriotic" cover story about the passengers and crew deliberately crashing the plane into the ground.<br><br>2. NSA conducted telephone surveillance of phone calls between Secretary of State Colin Powell and New Mexico Democratic Governor and former ambassador to the UN Bill Richardson concerning a visit by a North Korean UN delegation to New Mexico to meet with the governor in an attempt to reinstate direct negotiations with the U.S. government over nuclear issues.<br><br>3. NSA possesses communications intelligence that proves the A.Q. Khan nuclear smuggling ring in Pakistan was also selling nuclear components to Saudi Arabia.<br><br>4. Intercept evidence of Chinese intelligence penetration of U.S. intelligence services is not being acted upon by the Bush administration. Similarly, signals intelligence data involving Israeli intelligence operations inside the United States and deep within the Bush administration are being covered up.<br><br>5. That NSA's poorly managed, fraudulent, and wasteful Trailblazer and Groundbreaker technical upgrade and reorganization contracts have resulted in massive intelligence failures. For example, fratricide or "friendly fire" incidents have occurred in Iraq and Afghanistan because faulty and outdated SIGINT/ELINT (signals intelligence/electronic intelligence) threat/non-threat data was retained in databases distributed to field military units. Such erroneous data was responsible for the Patriot missile shootdown of the British RAF Tornado and death of its two crew members near the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border shortly after the outbreak of the war, the four Canadian troops killed by a USAF F-16 in Afghanistan, the Navy F-14 attack on a Kurdish convoy in northern Iraq, and numerous other fratricide incidents. Trailblazer and Groundbreaker also involve questionable and possibly illegal procurement conflicts of interest between certain NSA officials and contractors such as SAIC, Booz Allen, Computer Sciences Corporation, and CACI.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/050505Madsen/050505madsen.html" target="top">www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/050505Madsen/050505madsen.html</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br> <p></p><i></i>

Ah, the always-tantalizing Wayne Madsen.<br><br>He's very frustrating. I wish to god he'd follow through on ONE thing rather than skip around all over the map like this.<br><br>It's difficult to really take him seriously. <p></p><i></i>

Hey seemslikeadream, no way, man, I love your posts and love you over at DU. Between you, Octofish, and Minstrel Boy, my mind is often blown repeatedly.<br><br>I didn't know this about Wayne Madsen. It's pretty fascinating.<br><br>I still think he's "tantalizing" and frustrating. He comes out with some incredible stuff, and never seems to follow through on it. I.E. the voter fraud 2004 business. SOMEBODY needs to seriously do some following through on that. <br><br>Maybe he has and I just haven't heard of it. I dunno.<br><br>Maybe he's tried and hit dead ends. Again I dunno.<br><br>He reminds me of many of the "SP" temperament types that I know who are always onto something new. Bad about follow-through. <p></p><i></i>

Re: Re:blowback No. 2 at State Dept. Put Restrictions on Bol

Postby seemslikeadream » Tue May 10, 2005 12:57 am

No. 2 at State Dept. Was Said to Put Restrictions on Bolton<br><br>By DOUGLAS JEHL <br>Published: May 10, 2005<br>WASHINGTON, May 9 - A new portrayal of John R. Bolton describes him as having so angered senior State Department officials with his public comments that the deputy secretary of state, Richard L. Armitage, ordered two years ago that Mr. Bolton be blocked from delivering speeches and testimony unless they were personally approved by Mr. Armitage.<br><br>The detailed account was provided to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by Lawrence S. Wilkerson, a longtime aide to former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell. Mr. Wilkerson said that Mr. Bolton, who was then an under secretary of state, had caused "problems" by speaking out on North Korea, the International Atomic Energy Agency and other delicate issues in remarks that had not been properly cleared.<br><br>"Therefore, the deputy made a decision, and communicated that decision to me, that John Bolton would not give any testimony, nor would he give any speech, that wasn't cleared first by Rich," Mr. Wilkerson said, according to a transcript of an hourlong interview with members of the committee staff last Thursday.<br><br>In an e-mail message on Monday, Mr. Wilkerson said of the restrictions imposed on Mr. Bolton that "if anything, they got more stringent" as time went on. "No one else was subjected to these tight restrictions," he said.<br><br>The Senate committee is to vote Thursday on Mr. Bolton's nomination as ambassador to the United Nations, and the Republican chairman, Richard G. Lugar, has said he believes that the nomination will be sent to the Senate floor on a 10-to-8 vote, along party lines. But only on Monday, after a 10-day recess, were senators beginning to review the documents and interview transcripts assembled by the staff over the past three weeks.<br><br>Mr. Wilkerson, a retired Army colonel who was Mr. Powell's chief of staff from 2002 to early 2005, was among the last of more than 30 witnesses to be interviewed by the committee staff. The transcript shows that Mr. Wilkerson made clear that he was speaking for himself, not for Mr. Powell or Mr. Armitage. <br><br>Mr. Wilkerson said that Mr. Bolton had been a major cause of tension and resentment at the highest levels of the State Department because of his temperament, his treatment of subordinates and the fact that he had "overstepped his bounds" on a number of occasions, including what Mr. Wilkerson called "his moves and gyrations" aimed at preventing Mohamed ElBaradei from being reappointed as the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations' nuclear monitoring body. <br><br>"Now, what do I mean by that?" Mr. Wilkerson said. "I mean, going out of his way to bad-mouth him, to make sure that everybody knew that the maximum power of the United States would be brought to bear against them if he were brought back in," Mr. Wilkerson said of Mr. Bolton's approach to Dr. ElBaradei.<br><br>Mr. Wilkerson also disputed one account that had been provided by Mr. Bolton, and said that it was Mr. Armitage, and not Mr. Bolton, who decided in the summer of 2003 to postpone Congressional testimony that Mr. Bolton had planned to give on Syria and that had touched off significant opposition from American intelligence agencies. Mr. Wilkerson also provided a new account of the reaction within the State Department to a speech that Mr. Bolton delivered on North Korea in the summer of 2003, saying that the speech had not been fully vetted and that Mr. Armitage had become "very angry - that's to put it mildly" - at an assistant secretary of state who signed off on Mr. Bolton's language.<br><br>In his capacity as chief of staff, Mr. Wilkerson said, he was often visited in his office by other high-level State Department officials who would ask, "Can I sit down?"<br><br>"Sure, sit down," Mr. Wilkerson said he would say. "What's the problem?" Invariably, Mr. Wilkerson said, the answer would be "Bolton."<br><br>Mr. Armitage has declined a reporter's interview request on the topic, but did speak briefly to an Associated Press reporter who intercepted him outside an event last week. The A.P. reported that Mr. Armitage had said he regarded Mr. Bolton as "eminently qualified" and "one of the smartest guys in Washington."<br><br>"It was the president's choice, and I support my president," Mr. Armitage was quoted as saying.<br><br>Transcripts of the committee's interviews with Mr. Wilkerson and a second official, Robert L. Hutchings, the former chairman of the National Intelligence Council, were provided by a Congressional Democrat opposed to Mr. Bolton's nomination.<br><br>On the dispute involving Syria, Mr. Hutchings told the committee that a protracted and "particularly acute" debate had taken place between Mr. Bolton and intelligence analysts over the assertions he sought to make about Syria's weapons program, a transcript of that interview shows.<br><br>"I wouldn't say he was making up facts," said Mr. Hutchings, whose job was to coordinate the government's formal intelligence estimates. "Let's say that he took isolated facts and made much more of them to build a case than I thought the intelligence warranted. It was a sort of cherry-picking of little factoids and little isolated bits that were drawn out to present the starkest-possible case."<br><br>In an interview on Monday with Larry King on CNN, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said: "I have seen nothing that suggests that John was anything but an interested consumer of intelligence, and asked difficult questions. I don't think there's anything wrong with someone, a policy maker, asking difficult questions of the intelligence community."<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/10/politics/10bolton.html">www.nytimes.com/2005/05/1...olton.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://eclectech.co.uk/b3ta/rawkaroo.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>Thanks hanshan <br> <p></p><i></i>

Re: Unholy Trinity - Cracks Showing in the Pro-Bolton Facade

Postby seemslikeadream » Tue May 10, 2005 7:41 pm

May 10, 2005<br>Cracks Showing in the Pro-Bolton Facade: Paula Dobriansky Next in Line for U.N. Job? <br><br>TWN has just learned that State Department officials are worried that Bolton's nomination will not go through.<br><br>The combination of stone-walling, withholding of key documents, shenanigans related to the long-awaited NSA intercepts and names of U.S. officials requested by John Bolton, dysfunctional behavior questions, and recent relevations about the extent that Colin Powell and Richard Armitage felt they needed to go to guard themselves and U.S. diplomatic efforts from the potential damage that John Bolton might do has seriously undermined the administration's confidence in the nomination.<br><br>There is a crack in the facade of the pro-Bolton forces.<br><br>The Office of the Vice President and the Secretary of State refuse to acknowledge that the Bolton nomination is limping -- and there has been a tremendous game of psychological warfare underway to convince Bolton opponents that a party line vote is on its way.<br><br>This is not the case -- at least not by my read of circumstances.<br><br>There are several names quietly being floated as the back-up alternative to John Bolton, the most prominent and impressive of whom is Paula Dobriansky, currently Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs.<br><br>There are others being discussed, but TWN has not confirmed how serioualy these other candidates are being considered. . .while TWN has confirmed that back room gossip is that Dobriansky is a strong alternative candidate.<br><br>The Center for Security Policy has cynically argued that those who oppose John Bolton are really just sore losers about the 2004 Presidential Race. I disagree, strongly.<br><br>The question for Frank Gaffney and his allies is whether they can live with Paula Dobriansky. I sometimes find myself at odds with Under Secretary Dobriansky's views -- but also find a lot of common ground. In my view, she is the perfect combination of U.N. skeptic combined with a very seasoned and capable diplomatic touch.<br><br>She would get the work done at the U.N. that we need done. And she doesn't take lip from anyone for those who want a "tough as nails" candidate.<br><br>Pull John Bolton. There is real doubt among the pro-Bolton ranks about his candidacy. <br><br>Replace him. Paula Dobriansky can work, I think. There are other possibilities.<br><br>The Senators need to compare the stories of foreign policy recklessness that they are hearing and reading about with Paula Dobriansky's impressive record.<br><br>More to do. Get to work. <br><br>-- Steve Clemons<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/000597.html" target="top">www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/000597.html</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Re: Re:- Bolton, Negroponte and Hayden AIPAC cell

Postby seemslikeadream » Sun May 15, 2005 12:17 am

Galloway hounded by AIPAC cell within U.S. Congress; Bolton tied to same cell<br><br>Bolton had on his staff a "special adviser" named Matthew Freedman who pulled down a $110,000 per annum salary. Freedman is also a lobbyist who represents "private clients." He refused to tell the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who those clients were. However, it has been discovered that Freedman, a long time GOP operative like Bolton, is tied to the same oil industry network that once used Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as agents of influence.<br><br>While working for the GOP-connected public relations firm of Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly (BMS&K) and the PBN Company, Freedman counted Chevron, Bechtel, Shell, and the governments of Nigeria and Kazakhstan as clients. Freedman also represented Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and Philippine President Salvador Laurel. According to The Washington Times, Laurel sought the assistance of the George H. W. Bush administration to oust President Corazon Aquino in a military coup.<br><br>Other espionage charges have swirled around Bolton. The State Department's Bureau of Near East Affairs reported that Bolton met with Mossad officials in Israel without obtaining country clearance from the bureau. During a trip to the United States, former Mossad official Uzi Arad was questioned by FBI agents about his connections to Larry Franklin. FBI officials were also interested in an Israeli Embassy official named Naor Gilon, the chief of political affairs and widely believed a major Mossad asset at the Washington diplomatic post. The FBI possesses videotaped surveillance tape of Gilon having a luncheon meeting with two AIPAC officials and Franklin at a Washington hotel.<br><br>Bolton is also under suspicion for his ties to Taiwan. Before joining the Bush administration, Bolton was on the payroll of the government of Taiwan, advocating UN membership for the breakaway island nation. Like Bolton's secret trips to Israel, Britain, and other nations, Donald Keyser, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs and a colleague of Bolton, made secret trips to Taiwan. He was arrested by the FBI in September 2004 after he was witnessed passing classified documents to Taiwanese agents in Washington.<br><br><br><br>The following memo from NSA Director Gen. Michael V. Hayden refers to suicides affecting employee and mission challenges. Like the State Department, CIA, and Pentagon, NSA is losing experienced intelligence professionals to "suicides." Without trustworthy law federal law enforcement and independent broadcasters, these deaths will continue to go uninvestigated and unreported.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/051305Madsen/051305Madsen/NSA-1-500.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/051305Madsen/051305Madsen/NSA-2-500.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m11735&l=i&size=1&hd=0" target="top">www.uruknet.info/?p=m11735&l=i&size=1&hd=0</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
