Benghazi, David Petraeus, Michael J. Morell and the Destabilization of the Obama Administration

Long pre­dicted in these quar­ters, the desta­bi­liza­tion of the Obama admin­is­tra­tion is in full swing. With the GOP charg­ing that the Obama admin­is­tra­tion was covering-up warn­ings about ter­ror­ism in Libya, it now emerges that it was now-acting CIA direc­tor Michael J. Morell who deleted the ref­er­ences, in oppo­si­tion to the now-deposed David Petraeus.


The “Uber Bowl”: The San Francisco 49ers and SAP (Kudos to “R. Wilson”)

We’ve noted the links between orga­nized crime and the NFL in the past, high­light­ing the milieu of the San Fran­cisco 49ers. It devel­ops that much of the 49ers recent suc­cess was (allegedly) due to their use of sports soft­ware diag­nos­tics devel­oped by Ger­man soft­ware maker SAP and employed by the team’s chief oper­at­ing offi­cer Paraag Marathe. One can but won­der if the con­sum­mately cor­rupt world of the NFL will be used to enhance rev­enues for SAP (and who knows who, or what, else?)


Fee, Fi . . . Ho, Hum: The Usual Suspect Elements Come into Focus in (“How Many Lies Can You Allow Yourself to Believe before You Belong to the Lie?”)

Numer­ous ele­ments have come into focus in con­nec­tion with the inves­ti­ga­tion of the Boston bomb­ing. They include a sub­sidiary of Dick Cheney’s Hal­libur­ton. In addi­tion, the mosque they attended and at which they may have been rad­i­cal­ized is part of the milieu shep­herded by Grover Norquist.


A Lie Can Run a Marathon Before the Truth Can Put Its Running Shoes on: (“Truther” Consequences)

The news cycle in this coun­try is dom­i­nated by cov­er­age of the Boston bomb­ings. This is pre­dictable. So is the ten­dency toward sim­plis­tic and/or one-dimensional analy­sis. Gen­er­ally, we’re hear­ing: It was the “gov­ern­ment,” “home-grown domes­tic (i.e. right-wing, Aryan types) ter­ror­ists,” or “Islamic ter­ror­ists.” As this post indi­cates, the divi­sions among these are not nearly so simple.


Germany’s STERN and Tagesspiegel: Germany Owes Greece Billions of Euros from WWII (Greek Citizenry, Political Parties Agree)

For years, we’ve been cov­er­ing the piv­otal issue of World War II flight cap­i­tal, now on the front burner. Germany’s STERN dis­cusses it. So does Tagesspiegel. 8 of 10 Greeks favor Ger­many pay­ing their WWII debt. So do that country’s polit­i­cal par­ties. Say­ing that the debt has been paid, Ger­many con­tin­ues to dis­sem­ble about the issue.


Saudi-Terrorism Link to Killing of Colorado’s Chief of Corrections?

The assas­si­na­tion of the head of the Col­orado Cor­rec­tions Depart­ment has raised ques­tions. One pos­si­ble motive might be Tom Clements’ recent denial of a peti­tion by Homaidan al-Turki, a Saudi national con­victed on sex­ual abuse charges and sus­pected of involve­ment in ter­ror­ism. Al-Turki enjoys the sup­port of the Saudi gov­ern­ment and pop­u­lace, as well as the State Department.


Grover Norquist Strikes Again!

Ear­lier this month, the Tea Party/GOP Right demon­strated their hypocrisy, as well as the degree of sol­i­dar­ity between the Islamic fas­cists of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood and the GOP. The Jihad Watch web­site received the “People’s Choice Award” at the 2013 Con­ser­v­a­tive Polit­i­cal Action Com­mit­tee. The award­ing of the honor was blocked, how­ever by the Tea Party Repub­li­cans, who would only con­sent to give the award if the admin­is­tra­tors of the site would agree not to crit­i­cize Grover Norquist.


Rudi Dekkers Enters a Sealed Plea: May Never Go to Trial

For years, we’ve cov­ered the heroic, lonely research done by Daniel Hop­sicker on the 9/11-related flight schools in South­ern Florida. One of the prin­ci­pals in the intelligence-community-controlled drug traf­fick­ing milieu through which Mohamed Atta and asso­ciates infil­trated the United States was recently arrested in Hous­ton for drug smug­gling. Dekkers has entered a seal plea agree­ment, which will likely mute any pub­lic dis­clo­sure of the find­ings in the case.


Imagine, “Morsi Is a Textbook Islamic Fascist”: I Told You So, Part 3 (Democracy, Muslim Brotherhood Style, Part 3)

We recall the tsunami of praise, Hosan­nas and Hal­lelu­jahs gush­ing forth from the world’s media and polit­i­cal pun­ditry. Hail­ing the “Arab Spring” as the dawn­ing of a new enlight­en­ment in that part of the world, they missed the boat–fundamentally. We, on the other hand, were warn­ing that this phe­nom­e­non was a Nazi oper­a­tion, hav­ing been ini­ti­ated by pow­er­ful cor­po­rate forces in the sec­ond admin­is­tra­tion of George W. Bush, it had its trig­ger with the Wik­iLeaks milieu–itself a far-right, Nazi-linked entity, as we demon­strated in FTR’s 732 and #745. (In addi­tion to the doc­u­men­ta­tion in the orig­i­nal WikiLeaks/Arab Spring series, see the arti­cle excerpted below.) Before delv­ing into details, an excel­lent overview of recent events in Egypt was pro­vided in an English-language blog by a cit­i­zen of that tor­tured coun­try. The con­tra­dic­tions and deadly under­cur­rents of unfold­ing events were elo­quently summed up by Mah­moud Salem in “Imagine.”


Falling to Earth: September 11th Flight School Operator Rudi Dekkers Arrested for Drug Trafficking

Long able to escape legal ret­ri­bu­tion for his actions, Huff­man Avi­a­tion oper­a­tor Rudi Dekkers appears to have run out of luck. The Dutch/German pilot who ran the flight school through which 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta and his Ger­man and Aus­trian asso­ciates infil­trated the United States has been arrested in Hous­ton for drug traf­fick­ing. It remains to be seen what comes of this inves­ti­ga­tion, but the impli­ca­tions are poten­tially staggering.
