June 20, 2006 -- Yesterday morning, Deputy Secretary of State Robert
Zoellick, fresh from attending the Bilderberg meeting in Ottawa along
with Goldman Sachs International chairman Peter Sutherland, abruptly
announced his resignation in order to become the vice chairman of --
Goldman Sachs International. State Department sources are speculating
that Zoellick may have been asked to resign over the State Department
leak to The Washington Post of a June 6, 2006 cable from the U.S.
Embassy in Baghdad to the State Department. The leak of the cable
reportedly infuriated George W. Bush and Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice who had just painted glowing portraits of the
improving situation in Iraq after Bush's quick visit to the former
Saddam palace that now serves as the US Embassy.
Robert Zoellick: Sacked over leak?
The cable, officially signed by US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad (but
not necessarily written by him), is titled, "Snapshots from the
Office: Public Affairs Staff Show Strains of Social Discord." The
cable claims that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki, who was given
10 minutes notice of Bush's presence in Baghdad when he was summoned,
Warsaw Pact-style, by the president's staff, is reported in the cable
to have no real power. Actual power lies with the militias and local
warlords, according to the cable. The cable also describes Sunni-
Sh'ia tensions among US Embassy staff who must all hide their
employment lest they be killed by the militias for consorting with
"the enemy." The poor electricity situation in Baghdad is also
described in the cable: "employees all confirm that by the last week
of May, they were getting one hour of power for every six hours
without." Temperatures soared to 115 degrees Fahrenheit during the
power outages.
The leak of the cable countered the White House propaganda about the
improving situation in Iraq.
June 20, 2006 -- The spate of physical theft of personal data on
computer storage devices continues at an alarming rate. WMR has
previously reported that most of these thefts are not coincidental
but are part of a coordinated and unprecedented effort by U.S.
intelligence agencies to obtain personal data to populate Total
Information Awareness surveillance databases. The latest theft was
that of a flash memory drive at the University of Kentucky containing
personal information on 6500 current and former University of
Kentucky students. The theft occurred on May 26 but was recently made
public by university officials. The chart in the June 17 article has
been updated to reflect this most recent theft report.
From hard drives and laptops to data tapes and flash memory drives,
personal data is being stolen on a virtual daily basis.
