CIA, Black Budget, 911, Aliens, Psyops<br><br>While researching articles on the CIA's Black Budget (mind-blowingly estimated in the last several years to be around 1.1 trillion bucks a year) I came across this 2002 article by whistleblower Catherine Fitts, who found herself at the peculiar nexus between issues of the CIA's Black Budget, routine and systematic 'secret' pillaging of Federal Agencies, covert behind-the-scenes asset-mining of financial institutions, the big mystery of WHY were top Gov. officials complicit with or guilty of gross criminal negligence on 911, what KIND of big-ticket intelligence and technology was being 'bought' with the CIA's huge Black Budget, and howthefu? the issue of Gov. marketting ALIENS to the public figured into this mindfuck riddle. <br><br>I guess the thing that strikes me the most, W/R/T 'secret' wars and mass-disinfo and so-called 'intel' failures and the incredible boondoggle fiasco which is the twin-edged War on Drugs and Terror, along with 'Peak Oil' and Patriot Act and a thoroughly bogus and misleading 'official' US history as the land of free and home of the brave etc., the 911 act of treason and Imperialism as a neo-liberal act of sedition, along with the impending of natural or man-made or Armeggedon-GOD type of catastrophe with the tantalizing suggestion that Aliens will either deliver us or eat us, is the keen suspicion that the issue of 'Aliens' is being prepared by our 'leaders' as a sophisticated psyops circus to provide the public with a fool-proof distraction and 'cover' -- for the whole miserable misplaced history of US massive abuse of power, fraud, corruption, diversion of wealth and resources, mismanagement, political malfeasance, election-fraud, thousands of political assassinations, intelligence failures and disasters, wholly disasterous and ruinous covert and overt wars on behalf of US Corporate interests that have devastated dozens of nations and together with secret State Dept/IMF/World Bank collusion have plunged nations into extreme debt-peonage conditions (where for example 50 percent of Ecuador's annual GDP goes to 'serve' its debt), and where poverty has increased dramatically (preserving the US as a prime venture-capital market with a high standard of living from where third-world cheap-labour and regulatory vacuum and offshore tax-breaks can be comfortably exploited -- aka 'managed'), war-crimes and atrocities, squandering of resources, massive criminal collusion, routine dangerous medical and psychological (ie. MK-ULTRA) experimentation on uninformed and non-voluntary individual citizens and groups including kidnapping, torture, abuse, enslavement and forced pandering for sinister and secret purposes, radiation and chemical and biological-agent mass-experiments and research on whole regions and communities have been conducted (all contrary to civil and human rights and national and international law), the multi-generational funding of terrorism and espionage and subversion and propaganda, and etc. <br><br>-- In short, the whole sad. mad panopoly of crimes and horrors and even worse abuses that have slowly come to light esp. in the past dozen years which have become so great that the official sources can no longer keep them Top Secret and Classified, excised from the public archives but patiently discovered and disseminated by stubborn researchers or leaked by courageous (or desperate) whistleblowers and gutsy survivors or remorseful former-insiders, and who knows just WHAT more or how many more grisley secrets besides -- being 'legitimized' as having been for a DAMN GOOD CAUSE, ie, to defend against, defeat, forestall, subvert, incorporate, prepare-for or whatever, the GREAT ALIEN Challenge ... I dunno, I guess I've been thinking a little about Prophet Yahweh's planned 'demonstration' (and the bizarre record of cropcircles and abductions, documented but unexplained UFO sightings, and other 'stories', as likely-fitting --or where not convertable then being subsumed by-- the Military Disinfo program of distraction-bafflement-entertainment-fearmongering, sleight-of-hand as clever wireless 'messages' are relayed thru complex circuits and into our -pre-conditioned hopefully-expectant Heads (perhaps potentiated by Chemtrails' lagacy of microwave-facilitating barium and aluminum salt-crystals saturating the EMS medium?)<br><br>Lordy, who KNOWS ...?<br>Anywho -- 'nuff babblin.<br>Starman<br><br><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0209/S00126.htm">www.scoop.co.nz/stories/H...S00126.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br> <br>UQ Wire: What's Up With the Black Budget?<br>Monday, 23 September 2002, 3:02 pm<br>Column: www.UnansweredQuestions.org <br><br>Unanswered Questions: Thinking For Ourselves<br>Presented by… <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.unansweredquestions.org/">www.unansweredquestions.org/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>The $64 Question: What's Up With the Black Budget?<br>The Real Deal with Catherine Austin Fitts<br><br>"Engrave this upon my heart: ~ There isn't anyone you couldn't love once you've heard their story." --- Mary Lou Kownacki<br>"What is relevant is what solves the problem.

WHO GOVERNS AND MANAGES THE BLACK BUDGET AND OPERATIONS?<br><br>4. WHY HAVE SO MANY DECENT PEOPLE SUPPORTED AN ILLEGAL BLACK BUDGET OPERATION OF SUCH MAGNITUDE FOR SO LONG?<br><br>5. IS THE WAR ON TERRORISM MOVING THE BLACK BUDGET ON BUDGET?<br><br>I do not know the answer to these questions. What I do know is that asking these questions brings up a whole pile of challenging uncertainty. (For background on my experience dealing with black budget/slush fund operations at FHA and Ginnie Mae at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Justice, Treasury and the New York Federal Reserve Bank, see my article, "The Myth of the Rule of Law," <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0208/S00055.htm)">www.scoop.co.nz/mason/sto...00055.htm)</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>When dealing with challenging uncertainty, I find that many researchers simply delete the existence of such uncertainty from their reality. That is a big mistake --- again pretending that we do not have a very big crazy aunt sitting in the living room. George Orwell once said that "Omission is the greatest lie." Hence, our crazy aunt has to be dealt with. <br><br><br>If you listen to the Ferdinand video/audio depositions in the Carone/Tyree lawsuit ( <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.blackopradio.com/inc_archives2002.html),">www.blackopradio.com/inc_...002.html),</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> what you will hear is something I have heard many times. Carone gives his family the sense of all of the organized crime operations by CIA, Army and Mafia through the 1970's as legitimate for national security purposes that then got out of hand and turned bad in the 1980's. That is, what started out as justifiable got out of hand. This begs the question ---- Why Were Such Activities Considered Justifiable?<br><br>The way to deal with uncertainty is with scenario design and probability -- ie to create a framework of the possible explanations with your best estimate of the plausible scenarios and the probability (all adding up to 100%) of each one being true based on intuition. Maintaining such a framework allows data collection on key variables and assumptions and an evolution to occur that can enlighten --- even determine --- concrete questions and answers over time.<br><br>So, let me tell a story, give you my framework that I use to handle the fact that I do not have the answers and invite your framework. I am not looking to hear only what is wrong with my framework. I am looking to improve mine or find a better one. Or better inform my estimate of the probabilities that this one or that one is true. Hence, I invite you to put forward your framework for managing this uncertainty. If we had the truth of the issue I am going to introduce, I dare say we could get to the bottom of 9-11 faster.<br><br>In 1998, I was approached by John Peterson, head of the Arlington Institute, a small high quality military think tank in Washington, DC. I had gotten to know John through Global Business Network and had been impressed by his intelligence, effectiveness and compassion. John asked me to help him with a high level strategic plan Arlington was planning to undertake for the Undersecretary of the Navy.<br><br>At the time I was the target of an intense smear campaign (NOTE: Resulting from US Gov. reprisals and character assassination to discredit Fitts re: her development of a novel financial-statistics analysis program through which she discovered the US HUD fund was being systematically pillaged by billions of dollars -- leading to CIA Black Budget and covert appropriations -- ed) that would lead the normal person to assume that I would be in jail shortly or worse. John explained that the Navy understood that it was all politics ---- they did not care.<br><br>I met with a group of high level people in the military in the process --- including the Undersecretary. According to John, the purpose of the plan --- discussed in front of several military or retired military officers and former government officials--- was to help the Navy adjust their operations for a world in which it was commonly known that aliens exist and live among us.<br><br>When John explained this purpose to me, I explained that I did not know that aliens existed and lived among us. John asked me if I would like to meet some aliens. For the only time in my life, I declined an opportunity to learn about something important. I was concerned that my efforts with Arlington could boomerang and be connected with the smear campaign and the effects that I was managing. I regret that decision. At John's suggestion I started to read books on the topic and read about 25 books over the next year on the alien question, the black budget, and alien technology.<br><br>I had to drop from the project due to the need to attend to litigation and the physical harassment and surveillance of me and some of the people helping me. This process ---which turned out to be incredibly time consuming --- I now believe was connected with the black budget/slush fund activities connected with FHA and Ginnie Mae at HUD. (See, "The Myth of the Rule of Law") John then asked me if I would join the board of the Arlington Institute.<br><br>When I attended one of my first meetings, I joined in discussion with about 10 people which included James Woolsey, former head of the CIA in the Clinton Administration, Napier Collyns, founder of Global Business Network and former senior Shell executive, Joe Firmage, John, and other members of the Arlington board. The main topic of discussion was whether or not the major project for the coming year should be a white paper on how to help the American people adjust to aliens existing and living among us. I said nothing -- just listened. Not that long after, I dropped from the board due to the continued demands related to litigation with the Department of Justice and their informant.<br><br>To cut a series of additional long stories short, when I talk with my few sources from the military and intelligence community, I hear the same themes:<br><br>1. Aliens exist and live among us;<br><br>2. In part for this reason as well the accumulated investment over the last 50 years, the technology we have access to through the black budget is far more advanced than is commonly understood;<br><br>3. The black budget/slush fund construct was created to deal with this issue, which is why reasonable people thought selling drugs to the children who were US citizens was the better of several options --- including the option of telling the American public the truth and funding the expenses on budget.<br><br>As a result of these experiences, here is my framework for dealing with this very large pile of uncertainty.<br><br>ONE OF THE THREE FOLLOWING POSSIBLE SCENARIOS MUST BE TRUE<br><br>SCENARIO #1. ENTRE NOUS: The alien question is the single largest and most expensive disinformation campaign in the history of our race. A portion of the human race has advanced technologically so far beyond the rest of us --- and is attributing various things to aliens as a way of managing their resulting risk---that we have become as aliens to each other. To fully understand this scenario, we need to try to understand the use of individual mind control such as criminal hypnosis to effect financial and government fraud and corruption and the truth, whatever it is, of wider subliminal programming and brainwashing. These are slippery subjects for most people to deal with unless they have the training and ability to do so.<br><br>% PROBABILITY SCENARIO #1 IS TRUE ______ (You fill in)<br><br>SCENARIO #2 --- HOLY COW!: Aliens exist and live among us. Planet earth is subject to the politics, economics and laws and/or lawlessness of a larger system or systems. The transfer of advanced technology into a society that has not evolved governance and legal systems to manage a world with the presence of such technology and the influence of such other system(s) helps to explain current events. To fully understand this scenario, we must also try to understand the use of individual mind control such as criminal hypnosis to effect financial and government fraud and corruption and the truth, whatever it is, of wide subliminal programming and brainwashing. Again, these are slippery subjects for most people to deal with unless they have the training and ability to do so.<br><br>% PROBABILITY SCENARIO #2 IS TRUE ______ (You fill in)<br><br>3. SCENARIO #3 --- MUDDLED: Some combination of (1) and (2) above.<br><br>% PROBABILITY SCENARIO #3 IS TRUE ______ (You fill in)<br><br>TOTAL % PROBABILITY OF SCENARIOS #1,2 & 3 BEING TRUE 100%<br><br>Could my experiences with Arlington and the Navy or any subsequent contacts fit with a disinformation scenario? Absolutely. I have no evidence to support any scenario. The only evidence I believe I have is my experience dealing with tremendous amounts of money siphoned off over the years, whether through Iran-Contra S&L, HUD and BCCI fraud, or the latest round of money missing from the federal government in the last five years. This is all documented in the articles below. This cash flow and the operations and syndicates it appears to fund are important to what drives the governance and allocation of resources in this country and around the globe. There is a reason that power and money are centralizing and the rich are getting richer. I want to know what it is.<br><br>Whichever scenario is true ---and I do not know which one is ---- if we had the truth it will help us grapple with 9-11 and the War on Terrorism. It would also help us better understand all the efforts to press for centralization of economic and political power that have grown as the black budget has grown since WWII. The reality is the possibilities of why 9-11 occurred and how it was operationalized are impacted by the facts of the US black budget and the advanced technology it has developed. Why would sane and even decent people think it was the best option for the good of the whole?<br><br>We must sit in the shoes of the person or people who gave the order ---whoever they may be and wherever they may be ---- and understand how their power and money worked. Why would a group with the operational and financial capacity to effect a 9-11 operation give the green light to plan 9-11, finance 9-11, do 9-11, stand down so 9-11 could happen, take advantage of 9-11 or to make sure the truth was not illuminated?<br><br>My experience in Washington and Wall Street would indicate that there is a reasonable chance that all these various people and many in the food chain Are Not Bad Or Irrational People. That is, we have a better chance of finding the truth if for purposes of our explorations we assume that the people involved in all these roles were people like you and me --- just with a different map of certain parts of the world and dealing with a variety of stress and pressures trying to build cooperation or achieve goals that we do not understand.<br><br>Watching the federal government contract announcements and without benefit of seeing the full budget and assuming The Disclosure Project allegations regarding the estimates of the black budget size, if I had to guess today my guess would be that 9-11 has been highly successful in permitting the black budget to be moved on budget, partly in the normal budget and partly in the budget that is only disclosed to the Congressional intelligence committees.<br><br>The solution to continued growth and funding of the black budget may have been to steal as much money and assets as possible from the federal budget and then to move the black budget on budget when control of media, Congress, Justice and Securities & Exchange Commission ensured that the legal budget was non-transparent, controlled by private government contractors and could not be harmed or fiddled with by Congress. (See various stories on the disappearance of over $3.3 trillion from the federal government from fiscal 1998-2001 <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0207/S00031.htm#a">www.scoop.co.nz/mason/sto...0031.htm#a</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> ) Grossly oversimplified, by the end of the 2004 fiscal year, covert operations and the black budget may be fully legal, run and controlled by corporations and banks without interference from knowledgable career civil service, taxpayer funded, and non-transparent.<br><br>Why do I say all of this? We do not have time to pay attention to people who use smears like "conspiracy theorist" to waste our time. Money, budgets, finance...these are all facts. If something does not work, and it continues to not work, there is a reason. Systems have a logic. They have a rationale. Money helps explain and illuminate that rationale. Anyone who would smear a serious researcher or writer for trying to understand where a great deal of money is disappearing to as a "conspiracy theorist" is someone who would never be taken seriously or associated with in the circles in which I travel. The exception is if the person doing the smearing is a professional being paid to smear those who have the scent of "the real deal" --- Cointelpro or related public relations. The number of people paid to do such things are many and growing.<br><br>9-11 was an operation that was implemented by a conspiracy. To get to the bottom of what happened and why one must develop and use conspiracy theories to research in what can only be described as a conspiracy reality. We know in regards to 9-11 one of two scenarios must be true ---- some portion of the US military and intelligence are (i) complicit and/or (ii) guilty of criminal gross negligence. We also know that the official story is not truthful. Either scenario and the reality of the official story beg the question, "why?" This course always leads us to consider the fact that US military and intelligence have enjoyed significant expansion of their budgets and powers as a result of 9-11. We are rewarding failure. 9-11 was great for business. Lockheed Martin's stock is up over 50% in a falling stock market. The oil companies have their pipeline.<br><br>When a system does not work and continues to not work, there is something that prevents its learning. Ultimately what we must understand that the problem is not that the system does not work and that it is not learning. The problem is that the system is controlled and operated by the most powerful forces in that system and that the system is indeed working and learning in the general direction they want it to go. This happens in a manner that is highly organic and requires lots of planning, trial and error and factionalism that involves competition and cooperation over time in the pursuit of the system's real goals. Hence, the system is working and is learning. It is our construct that is wrong. We do not understand the system and the goals of the system. Once we are clear that the system is working and is learning, once we stop falling back on scapegoating as a technique to explain events, we can start to understand the real system that we are a part of. This is how power and money work in reality.<br><br>The amount of money and power spent to keep the general population from understanding this --- and focused on things like scapegoating which keep us from building a good map of "the real deal" or gaining the power to impact events by using our money and time as a vote in the marketplace in which the banks and corporations must thrive ----is immense. That is why I strongly encourage reading Jon Rappoport's back interviews on his Infomonster and becoming a subscriber for his ongoing interviews.<br><br>For those would like to know more, I would refer you to articles on all the money missing from the US Treasury and the manipulation of the gold markets as well as the Disclosure Project video of their event at the National Press Club. You can find them on the web. As for me, I do not have the answers. I wish I did.

Salla, PhD <br>Center for Global Peace/School of International Service <br>ABSTRACT: <br>This report examines the existence of a CIA ‘black budget’ and an extensive network of ‘deep black projects’ that it funds. The report identifies the legal framework established by the US Congress for the creation of a CIA ‘black budget’ from the appropriations earmarked for other federal agencies that are siphoned through the CIA as the sole conduit of black budget funds. The report investigates the legal challenges to the constitutionality of the CIA’s black budget; how the CIA uses its legal authority to extract appropriations from government agencies such as HUD; how the CIA launders non-appropriated money through other federal agencies; and the efforts the CIA goes to prevent these financial transfers from being exposed. Using as a case study the legal difficulties faced by an innovative mortgage finance company, Hamilton Securities, the report will argue that the CIA’s covert role in Hamilton’s demise is compelling evidence that the CIA was involved in funding irregularities in HUD. It will be finally argued that the size of black budget, the secrecy surrounding it, the extent senior officials in Federal agencies go to targeting individuals and companies that threaten to reveal where congressional appropriations are ultimately going, suggest a vast number of ‘deep black projects’ that collectively form a highly classified second Manhattan Project whose existence, goals and budget are kept secret. <br>. . . Conclusion: It is worth repeating that the CIA is legally authorized by Congress to transfer, “without regard to any provisions of law”, funds from other government agencies for the generation of a black budget. There is strong evidence that the CIA uses this power to disregard law to complement whatever funds it can generate through Congressional appropriations, with funds gained through the drugs trade and organized crime that is laundered through different government agencies. The total annual sum of the black budget is best estimated in the form of accounting anomalies in the main departmental recipient of all black budget funds, the DoD, and is in the vicinity of 1.1 trillion dollars that funds a network of classified intelligence activities and covert operations that collectively form a second Manhattan Project. <br><br>*<br>www.arcticbeacon.citymaker.com/ articles/article/1518131/24982.htm <br><br>CIA 'Black Budget" Estimated at Over $1.1 Trillion Per Year; Scheme to Fund Spy Group Unconsitutional But Lawmakers Don't Care<br>Citizens who fund 'secret money' have no legal recourse to sue; no one has even challenged the constitutionality of the CIA's budget methods since 1967<br>May 1, 2005 <br><br>By Greg Szymanski<br>Secret money given to the CIA for operations home and abroad is a topic most government officials avoid like the plague. They avoid it since the amount of money and where it comes from remains a guarded mystery.<br>Over the years, many mere mortals have attempted to unravel it, but all have failed. Even Indiana Jones and his Lost Crusaders of the Arc would probably find tracking the CIA’s "black budget" impossible, since it’s like trying to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow or trying to pinpoint the exact location of the Holy Grail.<br>Why is it so difficult? It’s difficult because the CIA has the unique ability to generate funds through appropriations earmarked for other federal agencies, collecting money secretly without regard for any provisions of law or the intent behind public disclosure of congressional expenditures.<br>Critics of the CIA "black budget" call the process grand theft, a rip-off of taxpayer money and a blatant violation of Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution. Supporters claim the "black budget" process is legal by the passage of the 1949 CIA Act and a subsequent 1974 U.S. Supreme Court decision.<br>Whatever the case, no one will argue that the CIA funding process is unorthodox at best, out-of-control at worst and at least ripe for debate since billions upon billion of hard-earned taxpayer dollars makes the whole process possible in the first place.<br>"Every year billions of dollars of Congressional appropriations are diverted from their sanctioned purposes to the CIA and DOD based intelligence agencies without knowledge of the public and with the collusion of Congressional leaders," said PhD Michael Salla, who authored an extensive 2003/04 CIA funding analysis for the Center of Global Peace in Washington D.C. <br>"The covert world of ‘black programs’ acts with virtual impunity, overseen and regulated by itself, funding itself through secret slush funds and it’s free of the limitations that come from congressional oversight, proper auditing procedures and public scrutiny."<br>[ More ]<br><br>(Fitt's recommended): Selected Articles on Money Missing from the Federal Government:<br><br>The War on Waste, CBS News, (January 29, 2002)<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/01/29/eveningnews/main325985.shtml">www.cbsnews.com/stories/2...5985.shtml</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>Black Programs - Pentagon Defied Laws, Misused Funds, by Tim Weiner, New York Times, (July 1999)<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/6583/coverup042.html">www.geocities.com/Area51/...up042.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>The Myth of the Rule of Law: The Destruction of Hamilton Securities by Catherine Austin Fitts (November 2001)<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0208/S00055.htm">www.scoop.co.nz/mason/sto...S00055.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>Real Deal: Saving Tennessee by Catherine Austin Fitts (June 2002)<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0207/S00031.htm">www.scoop.co.nz/mason/sto...S00031.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>Real Deal: Saving Tennessee - The Cartoon Series<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0207/S00032.htm">www.scoop.co.nz/mason/sto...S00032.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>Software That Steals: Mortgage Market Unanswered Questions - Hitting On HUD (August 2002) <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/archive/scoop/stories/17/3a/200208121132.47a0a862.html">www.scoop.co.nz/archive/s...0a862.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>The Kelly O'Meara "Missing Money" Series:<br><br>Why is $59 Billion Missing from HUD?

black budgets

Postby michael meiring » Fri Jun 03, 2005 5:25 am

starman,<br><br> Some great links there, these can go into my newly quadrupled back up reference 'library'.<br><br> Great how these agencies/beneficeries of the BB's are unaccountable, uninvestigatable to anyone or any law.<br><br> These people can do what they like, when they like, and how they like, all with the citizens tax dollars.<br><br> Maybe that helps to explain why these governments never publish 'the bugdet figures?'. Here in the UK the peasants/sheeple/masses get whipped into a frenzy over IMMIGRANTS and BENEFITS!!!! All a convienient SMOKESCREEN and mother of all RED HERRINGS for where most of the tax goes, military spending. Why they even uphomise that with DEFENSE SPENDING?!!!!. Shouldant that be ATTACK SPENDING?.... <br><br> Ministry of Defense my arse, it should be Ministry of Attack!!!!<br><br> Maybe this is why Chemical Georgie Bush is bringing in even more draconian measures to stop all declassified documents being released per say in the future?<br><br> How does it go again? Freedom and democracy....God bless America....Onward christian soldiers marching off to WAR?!!!! with their crosses of jesus? (we actually have religious fanatics singing this in churches here!!!)....makes me want to puke..... <p></p><i></i>

....<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>In 1998, I was approached by John Peterson, head of the Arlington Institute, a small high quality military think tank in Washington, DC. I had gotten to know John through Global Business Network and had been impressed by his intelligence, effectiveness and compassion. John asked me to help him with a high level strategic plan Arlington was planning to undertake for the Undersecretary of the Navy.<br><br>At the time I was the target of an intense smear campaign (NOTE: Resulting from US Gov. reprisals and character assassination to discredit Fitts re: her development of a novel financial-statistics analysis program through which she discovered the US HUD fund was being systematically pillaged by billions of dollars -- leading to CIA Black Budget and covert appropriations -- ed) that would lead the normal person to assume that I would be in jail shortly or worse. John explained that the Navy understood that it was all politics ---- they did not care.<br><br>I met with a group of high level people in the military in the process --- including the Undersecretary. According to John, the purpose of the plan --- discussed in front of several military or retired military officers and former government officials--- <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>was to help the Navy adjust their operations for a world in which it was commonly known that aliens exist and live among us.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->When John explained this purpose to me, I explained that I did not know that aliens existed and lived among us. John asked me if I would like to meet some aliens. For the only time in my life, I declined an opportunity to learn about something important. I was concerned that my efforts with Arlington could boomerang and be connected with the smear campaign and the effects that I was managing. I regret that decision. At John's suggestion I started to read books on the topic and read about 25 books over the next year on the alien question, the black budget, and alien technology.<br><br>I had to drop from the project due to the need to attend to litigation and the physical harassment and surveillance of me and some of the people helping me. This process ---which turned out to be incredibly time consuming --- I now believe was connected with the black budget/slush fund activities connected with FHA and Ginnie Mae at HUD. (See, "The Myth of the Rule of Law") John then asked me if I would join the board of the Arlington Institute.<br><br>When I attended one of my first meetings, I joined in discussion with about 10 people which included James Woolsey, former head of the CIA in the Clinton Administration, Napier Collyns, founder of Global Business Network and former senior Shell executive, Joe Firmage, John, and other members of the Arlington board. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>The main topic of discussion was whether or not the major project for the coming year should be a white paper on how to help the American people adjust to aliens existing and living among us.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> I said nothing -- just listened. Not that long after, I dropped from the board due to the continued demands related to litigation with the Department of Justice and their informant.<br><br>To cut a series of additional long stories short, when I talk with my few sources from the military and intelligence community, I hear the same themes:<br><br>1. Aliens exist and live among us;<br><br>2. In part for this reason as well the accumulated investment over the last 50 years, the technology we have access to through the black budget is far more advanced than is commonly understood;<br><br>3. The black budget/slush fund construct was created to deal with this issue, which is why reasonable people thought selling drugs to the children who were US citizens was the better of several options --- including the option of telling the American public the truth and funding the expenses on budget.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>can't quite get me head around this. Have run this by <br>various folks in search of interpretive context & haven't <br>found anything satisfactory.<br><br>Jeff, what's your take on this? Anyone?<br><br><br>... <p></p><i></i>

Re: "Aliens live among us"

Postby Qutb » Fri Jun 03, 2005 9:25 pm

As I agree with the overall opinion on this board that it is very unlikely that we are being visited by humanoids from other planets, a couple of possibilities remain. One is that Fitts is a conscious disinfo agent. She was a secretary of HUD in the Bush 41 adm., after all, who turned around and became a "conspiracy theorist". But I find that unlikely too. She has in particular focused on exposing government-sanctioned drug trade, which I doubt a disinfo agent would do (as I assume it's real and not something the govt would want exposed).<br><br>Another possibility is of course that she's making it up. But why? She hasn't devoted much of her writings to this, and her other stuff seems serious and "reality based".<br><br>A more likely possibility, I think, is that she has been mislead and manipulated by people who knew she was going to expose some damaging stuff, and wanted to divert her attention towards the "government covering up alien presence/huge underground alien bases" meme. Who knows what she would have been shown had she accepted the invitation to see an alien. But I find it incredibly unlikely that she would be invited to a meeting with James Woolsey et al. and told about the aliens just like that - without there being any purpose to her knowing about it. "You can come to our top secret meeting about the aliens, if you're interested in that kind of stuff. Want to see one? sure, no problem". Hmmm, my experience with "government cover-ups" is limited to watching the X-files, but somehow I don't think that's how it works.<br><br>A forth possibility is that the participants in that meeting were themselves mislead and manipulated. James Woolsey is one of the central neocons and a former CIA director, so I would perhaps think that he would be in on whatever is going on, but all the others might not have been. But I think Catherine Austin Fitts has been duped here. <p></p><i></i>
