wikileaks: a big dangerous US government con job

William Engdahl provides, perhaps, the best summation of America's plight in a recent article and podcast. In last month's article, "Wikileaks--a Big Dangerous US Government Con Job," Engdahl's observations are chillingly apt. Wikileaks is too well-scripted to be true. Bradley Manning, the alleged leaker, had impossible access and his leaked material's content is not "top secret". Manning is, now, incarcerated and incommunicado - all too convenient. Once, the 250,000 leaked pages reached Julian Assange and Wikileaks, "Assange decides to selectively choose several of the world’s most ultra-establishment news media to exclusively handle the leaking job for him...The New York Times even assigned one of its top people, David E. Sanger to control the release of the Wikileaks material... sits as a member of the elite Council on Foreign Relations as well as the Aspen Institute Strategy Group..." observes Engdahl.

The clear conclusion of the article is, "but for anyone who has studied the craft of intelligence and of disinformation, a clear pattern emerges in the Wikileaks drama. The focus is put on selected US geopolitical targets...".  F William Engdahl sees right through the entire operation. "The Wikileaks is a big and dangerous US intelligence Con Job which will likely be used to police the Internet." You may catch today's Deadline Live interview of Engdahl here, which makes a great audio companion to the article!

jack blood reports on false alarm or drill gone live?

Jack Blood reports on shooting at NASA Glenn Research Center in Brook Park, Ohio next to the Cleveland Airport on his Deadline Live Nov. 5, 2010 broadcast. Blood adds alleged shooting was quickly amended to a false alarm and all clear broadcast over the base's public announcement system by 11:50am, Friday.

There were reports at 9:50 am of a man with a gun in Building 77 and of shots fired. Building 77 was placed on lockdown. Local ambulances and SWAT teams were dispatched to the base. The false alarm was, later, announced by officials as caused by a message sent in error to someone at Glenn meant for an employee at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida where a test (drill?) was in progress. "An employee at NASA Glenn with the same last name as a person at the other center mistakenly received a call at about 9:30 a.m. from an automated system with the message that there 'is a shooter in the building'. The employee did not realize it was a test."

Blood jumps on the similarities to the Fort Hood Shooting and rightfully so, exactly one year ago! Blood asks, "could the same thing have happened?" You have to ask, "how far did the drill go?" We will never know! Two days earlier, there was a similar incident at Vandenberg AFB. It's a sad commentary that nearly everyone misses these reports, present writer included, and fail to see the similarities right down to the dates! It's a tip of the hat to Jack Blood!
