What Is Woodward’s ‘Secret Weapon’ in Iraq?
September 13th, 2008The human thermal fingerprint is a pretty strange. I have no idea if that’s it, but look at page 12 of this U.S. Special Operations Command briefing paper on Continuous Clandestine Tagging, Tracking and Locating (CTTL). They want “battery independent” tracking devices that harvest energy from ambient RF fields, movement and wind. Via: Wired: I’m […]
Secret Assassination Program is Key in Iraq, Woodward Says
September 10th, 2008Oh sure, Bob. During the Vietnam War, the Phoenix Program ran from 1967 through the Tet Offensive and until the Americans fled Vietnam. I seriously doubt that an assassination program is working in Iraq. More likely, the cash bribes that the U.S. has been paying to insurgents to stay home, or kill their religious enemies […]

Barack Obama Assassination Plot?
August 26th, 2008Reminds me of Jane Greenhow and her friends. The feds are already saying hinting that there’s nothing to see here. That’s almost certainly because the feds are involved—in a COINTEL capacity—with this crew. Via: Telegraph: One of the group said he was “going to shoot Obama”, who is in Denver, Colorado, for the Democratic National […]

And Now: White House Briefed On Potential For Mars Life
August 3rd, 2008UPDATE: Toxin in Soil May Mean No Life on Mars I’ll comment a bit more on this: If you know what a galaxy is, and know that there are over 100 billion of them in the universe, you’d just about have to assume that there’s lots of life out there. The UFO/alien issue, however, has […]

Bush publicly acknowledged the existence of a CIA program in which agency-leased aircraft fly terrorism suspects between secret prisons and interrogation sites around the world. “This program has helped us to take potential mass murderers off the streets before they have a chance to […]

Then there’s the little Mohammad Atta ISI issue, which, of course, is nowhere to be found in the New York Times piece below. Via: New York Times: American intelligence agencies have concluded that members of Pakistan’s powerful spy service helped plan […]
