(WMR)—In September 2005, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, penned a letter to his friend Judy Miller, the New York Times reporter who was jailed for refusing to testify in the investigation of the leak of Valerie Plame Wilson’s CIA identity to the media and Bush White House officials. Libby wrote: “Out west, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come back to work—to life.” Continue reading →

The bill would increase criminal penalties for those smuggling drugs from Mexico into the United States. Continue reading →
(WMR)—As WMR has reported in past articles, the National Security Agency (NSA) has maintained a series of “mug shots” of journalists it suspects have sources inside the NSA. Often, NSA personnel throught to have been speaking to journalists are called into NSA’s “Q” security group and questioned on whether they have spoken to various journalists. Along with the names of the journalists, are photographs, described by NSA insiders, as “mug shots,” likely culled from the Internet. Continue reading →
(WMR) — WMR’s sources in Bangkok, the Thai capital, report that the recent U.S. and Israeli alert that a Lebanese man, said to have links with Hezbollah, was planning a terrorist attack in Thailand, is the result of Israel and its diamond business attempting to shut out Lebanese Shi’ite competitors who are in Thailand and are competing with the Israelis for access to Southeast Asian gems. Israeli diamond merchants also compete with Lebanese Shi’ites for access to diamonds and other precious gems in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Continue reading →
The Pentagon has already declared World War III and President Barack Obama and the Congress never even carried out their constitutional duties to approve the use of American military power for war. Continue reading →
(WMR)—Sailors aboard the nuclear aircraft carrier USS John Stennis may be surprised to know that the person for whom their ship is named, Senate Armed Services Committee chairman John Stennis of Mississippi, ordered his committee to conduct a full review of the CIA’s 1947 charter to prevent the agency from ever again engaging in secret wars, illegal surveillance as it did during Watergate, and political assassinations. Stennis apparently agreed with his Senate colleagues who believed that the 1947 National Security Act, which created the CIA, was too vague. Continue reading →
(WMR)—As the Obama administration prepares to unleash another crippling round of economic sanctions on Iran, including applying congressional legislation blacklisting the Iranian central bank, Bank Markazi, top congressional sources have reported to WMR that in May 2010, the Obama White House approved the lifting of sanctions for the state-owned Russian arms exporting firm, Rosoboronexport. The Russian firm was on a 2008 blacklist imposed by the Bush administration for selling nuclear and military technology to Iran. However, the Bush administration had conducted business—buying 22 Mi-17s in a ruish order for the reconstituted Iraqi air force—with the Russian firm as late as December 2007. Continue reading →
(WMR)—WMR has learned from an eastern European intelligence source that the CIA, Britain’s MI-6, and George Soros, who actually fronts for the Rothschild family, has been funneling money to Russian protest movements through the Republic of Georgia. Continue reading →
(WMR)—After decades of a global consensus that sought the decolonization of the remaining European colonies around the world, the European Union has reversed course and in a new decision on the member states’ overseas countries and territories—the term “colony” no longer being in vogue—expected for final adoption in March 2012, the EU now maintains that the smattering of EU member states’ overseas dependencies must be less “dependent” on Europe but must be maintained as “strategically important outposts spread all over the world.” The EU also wants European colonies to reflect the EU’s values and to get on board with globalization and international trade policies. Continue reading →
(WMR)—The word from WMR’s sources in Chicago is that the financial collapse of the commodities trading firm MF Global is merely the tip of the iceberg in commodities trading fraud, especially in gold, and that a major cover-up of the extent of the fraud by the Obama administration, including by Attorney General Eric Holder, is currently underway.

(WMR)—Former Representative and 2008 Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney was offered “victim witness” special protection by the FBI after the indictment of four men in northern Georgia for plotting to kill McKinney, Attorney General Eric Holder, and, according to FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Brian Lamkin of the bureau’s Atlanta office, President Barack Obama.

(WMR)—President Obama has, once again, shown a willingness to go beyond George W. Bush in flouting international law and conventions of warfare. Along with the NATO team of Nicolas Sarkozy, David Cameron, Angela Merkel, Stephen Harper, and Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Obama’s and NATO’s decision to disregard several white flags that appeared at day break in Sirte from Qaddafi’s positions and, later, from his convoy, mark a new low in how modern warfare is carried out.

(WMR)—As the so-called “Christian” leaders of the Western nations continue to celebrate the brutal execution of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi at the hands of Libya’s NATO-armed rebels, the bulldozers and other heavy equipment are building what is expected to become the permanent military headquarters for the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) in the heart of the African continent.

(WMR)—Britain’s intelligence services are taking off the gloves over Mossad’s high-level penetration of the British government. As a result of leaks to the press, one high-level Tory Cabinet minister, Defense Secretary Liam Fox, was forced to resign over his granting of access to classified defense information to his reputed homosexual love partner and Israeli-connected lobbyist Adam Werritty.

(WMR)—Borrowing a page from the CIA’s book in the months before it overthrew President Sukarno, the Obama administration has opted to use growing Chinese-Indonesian ties as a reason to step up internal political pressure on the Indonesian government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The Obama administration is copying the Lyndon Johnson administration by ratcheting up tensions with Beijing in East Asia, using Indonesia as a proxy battleground. Continue reading →
(WMR)—The CIA’s infamous “stay-behind” networks, originally established by the CIA to commit acts of sabotage against an expected Soviet invasion of Western Europe, was, instead, used in the 1970s and 1980s, amid calls for peace and an end to the Cold War in Europe, to stage “false flag” terrorist attacks that were blamed on Communist cells in Western Europe. In fact the terrorist attacks were carried out by right-wing paramilitaries on the payroll of the CIA. Continue reading →
CNN, which is competing with Fox News for the title of network for the political descendants of the Ku Klux Klan, Know Nothing Party, and John Birch Society, decided to co-host the last Republican presidential debate with the Tea Party, a Republican contrivance set up by the likes of former House GOP Majority leader Dick Armey and former George H W Bush counsel C. Boyden Gray. However, the Tea Party, unlike other Republican groups, has attracted a number of out-and-out neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen, Jewish Defense League, neo-Confederates, and other gun-toting racist types who are happy to finally find a home where they can vent their hatred on CNN and Fox.

WMR has been informed by reliable sources that the U.S. ambassador to Syria, Robert S. Ford, is the key State Department official who has been responsible for recruiting Arab “death squads” from Al Qaeda-affiliated units in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Chechnya to fight against Syrian military and police forces in embattled Syria.

MONTREAL (WMR)—In addition to pushing the neoconservative agenda in Canada, Tory Prime Minister Stephen Harper is also turning back the clock and restoring the Canadian head of state profile of Queen Elizabeth II, who is represented in Canada by a Governor-General, to full Canadian monarch status.

(WMR)—The corporate media has, once again, been caught acting as stenographers for the CIA-backed Libyan Interim National Transitional Council by echoing the rebel reports that Seif al Islam and Muhammad Qaddafi, two of Muammar Qaddafi’s sons, were captured. Seif and Muhammad were not captured and Seif has taken reporters around parts of Tripoli still held by Qaddafi forces. Tripoli has not fallen to the rebels. Continue reading →
In what may prove to be an old scandal but one that could come back to further tarnish his already poor image, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been heavily implicated in a bribery scandal from the 1990s involving an Airbus deal to supply Saudia Airlines with commercial passenger planes.

U.S. congressional sources have confirmed to WMR that the U.S. Capitol Police and other congressional officials shared sensitive information on members of Congress with Rupert Murdoch’s media outlets in Washington, including Fox News, in a manner similar to the situation in the United Kingdom where reporters for Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World bribed British law enforcement officials for sensitive information on public officials and private citizens.

A well-placed UK source has informed WMR that the suspicious death of Prime Minister David Cameron’s friend and political adviser, Christopher Shale, found dead in a portable toilet on June 25 at the Glastonbury Festival, was, in fact, a political assassination designed to silence an emerging critic of Conservative Party policies.

Democratic Party sources who see President Obama championing cuts in social safety safety net programs instituted by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson, are quietly talking about supporting the GOP presidential candidacy of former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Obama’s ambassador to China. With no Democrat willing to launch a primary challenge to Obama, some Democratic strategists are hoping that with a crowded GOP field of far-right candidates like Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and others, Huntsman could garner enough moderate Republicans, independents, and primary cross-over disaffected Democrats to win key primary states. Continue reading →
Although NATO has in recent years has attacked the former Yugoslavia, invaded and occupied Afghanistan and Iraq, and is now doing the same in Libya, the so-called “defensive” alliance’s first victim was a small sovereign country long since forgotten, In fact, there are probably not many people who have ever heard of the Kingdom of Tavolara, a small island off the north coast of Sardinia.

America’s affection for supporting ‘Souths’ in civil wars
Posted on January 17, 2012 by Wayne Madsen
The United States suffered 33,651 war dead defending South Korea in its fratricidal war, called a United Nations “peacekeeping” action, with North Korea. In a war started by the introduction of U.S. military “advisers,” the United States suffered 47,369 military dead in the civil war in South Vietnam. Now, President Obama is sending U.S. “advisers” to South Sudan during its border war with north Sudan. Although Obama is officially sending five U.S. military personnel to South Sudan, he also exempted them from prosecution by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. One Pentagon observer noted that “five” should be read as “fifty.” Continue reading →
