American Intel Meltdown
You
won’t read about it anywhere. We could say the problem, and that term
is an understatement, was caused by many factors. This is not the truth.
We know who caused it, we know why.
Insiders call it an “apocalypse.” It is the utter and absolute collapse of American intelligence capabilities.
If current
American policy seems disjointed, inconsistent and unfocused, there is a
reason. American government is and has been more than “blind.” The “big
lie” message intended as a “cover and deception” exercise, a war on an
imaginary “Islamo-facist superpower,” has now written itself into a
fearsome reality none can or will stand against.
A dream
world set up a conmen and gangsters is now perpetuated in, not only
popular fiction and orchestrated news but parroted around the world by
those fearful of failing to comply with prevailing conspiracies.
Worse
still, those who should know better, high level intelligence, military
and law enforcement officials are part of the problem. Those who had
spoken out from day one, men like Pakistan’s former ISI Director
General, Hamid Gul and so many others, under continual attack.
Others were pushed form
A recent
highly classified report seen only by select members of congress has
cited the entire American intelligence community, from squad level to
the Pentagon to the agencies themselves, the 16 or so we know of and the
several so dark just following their funding alone is a dizzying
process, as totally worthless.
Equipment
doesn’t work, predictive software is a joke, information flow is
non-existent, in fact, no one that needs information ever has it, not
real information, not the truth.
American
intelligence, the tens of billions of dollars spent each year seems, as
the secret study notes, to exist only to mislead, obfuscate and
misinform.
“American intelligence” is, in fact, a form of infection,
a cancer at every level of every organization, seemingly, as the report
indicates, tasked with supporting a “narrative inconsistent with
national interest and reality as we know it.”
The
problem is with American intelligence, not just the CIA or NSA, not
simply the failure to stop “9/11” or find those missing WMD’s. The
failure is so broad it could be described as “epic.” Nothing works, no
matter how advanced the technology, how many spies were hired, how many
diplomats or scientists have been blackmailed or bribed.
A clear
decision was made well before the questionable, I am being generous
again, let’s admit it, “rigged” 2000 election. This was the actual
approach:
“Since we know what we want anyway, an “event” to drive a suppression of dissent in the US prior to a global restructuring…”
The
actors, Wolfowitz, Kristol, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, may well only have
been just that, “actors.” When playing out a tragedy with real blood, a
certain “moral flexibility” is always desired.
How it began
The
problem begins with “privatization.” By 2005, most US intelligence
functions from intelligence gathering to analysis had been outsourced.
The companies getting the contracts were, for the most part, offshoots
of the neocon political agenda. Each was formed by a key member of
congress in collusion with financial backers who, in turn, looked to
“less capable” former members of military or intelligence groups who
were willing to “do anything for a buck.”
This is
where Blackwater came from, an offshoot of Michigan GOP politics, a
former gubernatorial candidate, Dick DeVos, a billionaire, major
contributor to right wing causes. Erik Prince is Dick Devos’ son in law.
DeVos
himself is one of the biggest “political fixers” in the US. We all know
the history of Blackwater, a company that began from nothing and became,
not only the biggest player in the “War on Terror” with billions in
no-bid contracts but also a huge embarrassment to the United States.
Halliburton
is worse, an oil supply company that fed our troops, furnished water,
at times water taken directly out of the Euphrates River laded with
effluent (human feces), carrying a myriad of diseases.
The
majority of companies are small, subcontractors to Lockheed or General
Dynamics and other defense conglomerates. The hammer is falling on them
first.
For years
they have simply fabricated intelligence or created broad mixes of total
fiction with some fact, always pushing a political agenda that
supported Bush foreign policy.
In turn,
they also supported the creation and growth of the massive narcotics
industry in Afghanistan, one that has flooded the US political system
with unaccountable cash laundered through unlimited corporate “slush
money” made allowable through a highly controversial 5/4 US Supreme
Court decision in the “Citizens United” case.
The
virtual “army” of intelligence fabricators, small firms tasked with
creating and supporting a fictional narrative of America besieged by
imaginary enemies, many of late proving to be of its own making, are now
finding themselves accountable for their misdeeds.
However,
it is they who are accountable and not the conglomerates and dozens of
key members of congress who helped orchestrate the fraud that has, for
over a decade, manipulated events beginning with 9/11 and continuing to
this day in Syria, the Ukraine and elsewhere.
Mythology as truth
We
have no “baseline” to cite divergence, when popular mythology took a
very special bent into the “Twilight Zone.” Using 9/11 is a convenience
but, more truthfully, the first mentions of Al Qaeda, a post-Gladio
construct and bin Laden as a “terrorist mastermind” are perhaps a good
place to start.
What
America has awakened to and is now trying to repair is more than simple
organized crime taking control of a government or the action of a
clandestine “ministry of propaganda” pushing a nation into an
uncontrollable tailspin.
As of
today, not just in the US but around the world, anyone who stands up to
the fictional narrative written at PNAC (Project for a New American
Century) those long years ago, reinforced through the Heritage
Foundation, Rand Corporation, Potomac Institute, the American Enterprise
Institute, the US Chamber of Commerce and others, faces being branded a
terrorist or despot.
Any “truth
teller” operating in any realm other than “alternative media” will end
up in a fiery car crash, die of a mysterious “cancer” or, if a national
leader, find himself subject to a “color revolution” or worse.
As for
America and its intelligence output, its official history and the
continuing decent into a geopolitical milieu based on “Imagineering” and
psychobabble, there may well be no way to correct what has been
imprinted into the collective “intelligence” of millions.
Please excuse my misuse of the term “intelligence.”
Picture
yourself as an American. One day you awaken and find Senator John McCain
not only meeting with Al Qaeda leaders but openly backing arming them,
not just with guns but missiles capable of downing airliners anywhere in
the world.
Nobody says anything; nothing can be so absurd that Americans can’t simple listen, ignore and move on with life.
What can’t be accomplished is the rebuilding of America’s national intelligence framework, not with what is available.
Even
though American military and intelligence policy makers have openly
accepted what others have long known, that living in an imaginary
universe and expecting salient intelligence analysis is, just perhaps,
an unreasonable expectation, America believe it can clean its own house
and not end up with more of the same.
The term “purge” comes to mind. Even that would not be enough.
