More evidence that wikileaks is an intelligence operation. The lesson from Watergate, FOLLOW THE MONEY. The money leads to George Sorros and his shady circles of influence. Sorros has always been connected to CIA and its front companies.
Is WikiLeaks A CIA Operation? 2/3
3 December, 2010 — Williambowles.info
[Given all the fuss over body scanners and groping security personnel, this story, written in June 2003 seems worthwhile republishing especially as nothing has changed indeed it's gotten worse what with billions being spent on back-scatter X-ray machines.]
Want to make a lot of money out of the ‘war on terror’? Get into the airport passenger
and baggage screening business and write your own cheques
11 June, 2003 — You’ve probably not heard of NCS Pearson Inc. (now called Pearson Government Solutions), and neither had I until a former employee of one of the previously privately owned companies that used to do the work of screening passengers and baggage in the nation’s 429 commercial airports, wrote and asked me if I would do a story on the company.
911 created enormous possibilities for making money, especially if your company is ‘well placed’ to take advantage of the great gobs of cash being handed out and with virtually no oversight, by the federal government in the climate of fear that has been created since September 2001. This is especially true and for obvious reasons, of the airline industry, which has suffered vast reversals of fortune and which would have probably collapsed completely without the various and sundry federal bailouts.

Netanyahu Humiliates Obama Again
By MJ Rosenberg
According to Ha’aretz, the latest (and most cringe-worthy) moment in the saga came this week when Dennis Ross, the president’s top adviser on Israel-Palestinian issues, convinced Obama that Israel would only agree to an extension of the settlements freeze if Obama would “come off as friendlier” to Bibi.

New U.S. Raids on Pakistan Constitute ‘Naked Aggression’
Editorial
“It’s high time that the Pakistani government wake up to the potential costs of its trickery with its own people. … Even on Sunday, as ISAF officials and their Afghan puppets were crowing that their gunships had killed ‘militants’ in two sorties in North Waziristan, local politicians were in complete denial that any incursion had occurred.”

Sitting on the Evidence: Obama Administration Silent on Israeli Murder of 19-Year-Old American
By Dave Lindorff and Linn Washington
Murder is murder, and terror is terror, you might think. But when terror is committed against an American citizen by the state of Israel the response from the US government is not protest, and it is surely not to demand justice, much less seek vengeance. It is silence.

Blair has never publicly acknowledged that Saddam was actually an enemy of radical Islam: admitting that would drain the last dram of logic from his justification for invading Iraq. So he only talks in general terms about fighting “radical Islam” and hopes that the more ignorant part of the public will think that includes the Iraq war.
