'Report: CIA Assassin Program Could Operate Anywhere -- Even Inside U.S.'

According and alleged from 'YOUR-RIghts.com' link to Documentary Video 'Bush linked to Kennedy Assassination' and many books published from many former CIA Officials and numerous broadcasts, now archived for viewing on 'Democracynow.org' and inclusive of the former 'School of the Americas' now re-named 'Institute of .....' continues to operate and has been operating for the past 50 + or - years as such.

Considering how accurate CIA intelligence was at the onset of 9/11 regarding Iraqi WMD's I'm surprised anyone would have even considered this program.

So...let's recap:

The Bush Administration used the fictional television show "24" when it came to interrogations.

Now we find out they were using the "Jason Bourne" series for how they thought the CIA should be run?

Again, the crux of this entire story is not that Cheney himself was involved, it's a question of who was targeted and why.

We already know of many deaths which came at convenient times for the Bush administration. I'm not sure I need to go through all of these again, but just a few of them would be Paul Wellstone, Pat Tillman, Dr. David Kelly, Bruce Ivins, and the DC Madam Debra Palfrey.

All of these people had the ability to cause significant damage to the Bush administration and every one of them died a suspicious death. I think the chances of all of these deaths happening in a vaccuum are close to nil.

Almost every day we discover more of how evil the Bush/Cheney gang was. This is what the recent Cheney media onslaught was about, keeping hearings or other forms of investigations into what they were doing from going forward.

Ah yes, the good old KGB.

Always wanted one o' them. Wetwork, asassinations, polonium tea pots, poison ice darts, complete secrecy, judge, jury and executioner, political opponents vanishing right and left...how much one can accomplish if only the principle of accountability and restraint could be eliminated...hmmm....and anyone who refuses to go along is not interested in keeping Americans safe...and if they aren't interested in keeping Americans safe, then logic dictates they MUST be a terrorist sympathiser--in which case we invite them to a polonium tea party. So what's the down side?

This part noted above "No geographical limitations" concerns me and it should concern every American - no matter where they live.

In the U.S., of course, ops are OUT OF BOUNDS for the CIA IAW their charter.

But, imagine an American living and working overseas who unknowningly associates with a "terrorist on the CIA hit list" (it could happen - if the terrorist is slick and savvy and the American is not) ...

BINGO: they could be hit, too? What about that?

...and Congressional Democrats risked being painted as soft on terror...

If Congressional Democrats are more worried about Republicans saying mean things about them than doing the right thing, they have no one to blame but themselves.

That's what makes them look weak. Or rather, that's what makes them weak.

But they never learned that rather obvious lesson in the past eight years. It would be foolish to expect that they'll learn within the next eight years.

There were people added to the Terrorist Watch List between 2001 and 2002 who later in 2004 were alleged to have links to Al Qaeda who hadn't a thing to do with Al Qaeda and weren't terrorists. They were defined as terrorists by VP Cheney and his allies who were defending their personal and family business interests to wreck the people's reputations and make their lives hell. The people represented technologies far superior to the ones offered by Cheney business interests such as Lockheed Martin. People such as me have paper trails from 2002 based on merit from our government, that no other government contractor ever received! I learned ideas of merit travel in our government! They found me, not that I found officials in evaluation posts!

It is a lie to state this hit program wasn't put into effect. It was conceived around January of 2002. It was operational in 2004 and 2005! I head federal operations for the inventing company of the tech standard NIST calls smart wallet. Sometime between 11/01 and 11/02 I was added to the FBI's Terrorist Watch List--a request made by CIA and its German head of Logistics Dusty Foggo.

In 11/02 upon CIA order NSA began hotwiring my house with tiny spy cameras. They weren't remotely discreet and the damage to my house--visible to any layman's eyes remains today!

I am a blonde-hair blue-eye female. In 2004 the public was told that Al Qaeda had begun to recruit blonde-hair blue-eye females. Also, in 2/04, 3/04, 5/04 and 9/05 this hit program was in effect against me! I had a second role w/our company: investor of last resort. With the CIA having taken down our US RnD operation, then German operation (Brant Bassett & Brent Wilkes--TPM got the date wrong in an earlier report...it was 1/05 and the part of east Germany TPM didn't learn about from the grand jury leak: Erfurt, Thuringen) and finally a French operation on a second try (Cheney's son-in-law was caught apart of the 2nd conspiracy in 1/07; Carol Lam shutdown the 1st French conspiracy), part of the sabotage was to destroy our reputation with venture capitalists. I always was being called upon to finance operations.

Had Cheney and friends succeeded with their attempts to have me killed, our company wouldn't have gone out of business. Since 12/1/01 we kept declining another government's financial offers (100 % financing and buyouts). In 7/07 I learned that government orchestrated 911! Hence, to defend their business interests, Cheney & Co. did their best to extradite the world's only next-gen identification and commerce credential into enemy control! My biz partner would have been forced to sell to 911's planners and trainers had Cheney & Co. succeeded in having me killed and with it the credit line I extended the company! Lockheed's biometric smart card solution already was compromised with our enemies! Not only was Lynne Cheney on Lockheed's Board into 9/03, but her son-in-law when not embedded in government service to defend Cheney family biz interests, was a Lockheed lobbyist!

I want to emphasize that not only was this program made operational, but the targets were falsely labeled terrorists. In the name of Cheney corruption there were 4 attempts to kill me! While we moved RnD operations overseas after CIA sabotage of our US operation in 2004, I remained in the US. I remained in the US b/c in 11/04 I made a decision for us to accept a German financing package first offered 19 months before, and bankrolled my biz partner's trip to accept the financing package. 3 days later Tom Ridge was fired. General Hayden that same day told Fox News the resignation was b/c Ridge hadn't funded the next-generation of technologies. I remained in the US b/c Chertoff was supposed to address why Ridge was fired so I could proceed as head of federal operations! His former employer was the same as that of Cheney's son-in-law, so it is of no surprise Chertoff didn't! The attempts to kill me happened in the US!

Kenneth Lay, 64, who was awaiting sentencing after being found guilty of conspiracy and fraud in the Enron fiasco, died early Wednesday in Aspen, Colo., a family spokeswoman said.

This story is unfolding strangely. I can't distinguish between the objective facts and the spin and while I recognize that is par for the course in politics, we don't have any reliable journalists to inflict the right questions in pursuit of truth on a consistent basis. Here and there, maybe, but there is no journalistic constant.

Every leak, every war crime, every possibility of investigating potential wrongdoing gets instantly diluted with accusations of political posturing.

Ordinarily, you would have an independent body that would separate the political from the legal, but this is a mess.

How can you discontinue a program that is entirely secret and self contained? The core principle is loyalty to some power other than the constitution of the United States - unrestricted power to protect the secrecy it operates within. Unbalanced power to control the population through fear.

Able to purge whistleblowers or their families with impunity, this "Neo-mob" would be able to intimidate or erase all investigation. Look at the database it has at its fingertips: Echelon, or whatever they call the domestic equivalent. The next shoe to drop will not happen in the slow news cycle of the summer.

What is the difference between reasonable suspicion and paranoia?

How self-contained might this program been? Or how coordinated with certain allies. I recall this story from the UPI:

"UPI - Israel is embarking upon a more aggressive approach to the war on terror that will include staging targeted killings in the United States and other friendly countries, former Israeli intelligence officials told United Press International. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has forbidden the practice until now, these sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The Israeli statements were confirmed by more than a half dozen former and currently serving U.S. foreign policy and intelligence officials in interviews with United Press International. But an official at the Israeli Embassy in Washington told UPI: "That is rubbish. It is completely untrue. Israel and the United States have such a close and co-operative intelligence relationship, especially in the field of counter-terrorism, that the assertion is ludicrous."

With the appointment of Meir Dagan, the new director of Israel's Mossad secret intelligence service, Sharon is preparing "a huge budget" increase for the spy agency as part of "a tougher stance in fighting global jihad (or holy war)," one Israeli official said. . . A former Israeli military intelligence source agreed: "What Sharon wants is a much more extensive and tough approach to global terrorism, and this includes greater operational maneuverability." Does this mean assassinations on the soil of allies? "It does," he said."

Here's a thought. How about that anthrax attack, the investigation of which the FBI didn't even appear to try to terribly hard so seem convincing when their second choice was suicided?

CIA wouldn't have had anything to do with that, now would they?

CIA hit men is old hat. We've been doing that even before Jason Bourne started doing it. The thing that got old Leon Pinata stirred up was our idea to replace the guys we killed with robots.

And Harvey Korman (1927-2008)

Wow. This piece has really brought out the kooks. I'm surprised that no one brought up the CIA - Martian axis...

"No geographic limitations" simply does not entail operations inside the US. A Presidential Finding cannot override existing law, and the law is quite clear that CIA operations inside the US are forbidden. It's hard to believe that Roth doesn't know this, and this piece is a stain on the sterling job performed by TPM. Roth's deductive leap is, frankly, silly and, at best, deeply irresponsible.
