http://www.almartinraw.com/column59.html Operation Sellout and Other Humorous Interludes by Al Martin Over the Memorial Day weekend, the TNT channel had what they called the "Salute to George Bush Movie Marathon." Included in the list of movies they played as a salute to George Bush was "Enemy of the State," Conspiracy Theory," "Air America" and "Double-Crossed." The over-arching theme was that TNT was obviously trying to be tongue in cheek. The underlying message is that George Bush is linked to all sorts of nasty illegal covert deeds. Here are the movies, in other words, that portray the Bushonian form of government -- movies about the surveillance society (Enemy of the State), mind control (Conspiracy Theory), State-sponsored drug trafficking (Air America) as well as fraud and backstabbing (Double Crossed). Recently two more of our Dragonfly reconnaissance aircraft crashed due to mechanical failure in Afghanistan -- one smashing a hut and the other squashing a camel in the process. It's interesting to note that with the latest crash of these spy-drones, the US taxpayers should be delighted to know that this brings total material losses in the "War on Terrorism" thus far to $1 billion. And not one of those dollars has been lost in actual combat with any supposed enemy. All those losses have been due to crashes of either helicopter or fixed wing aircraft, the accidental destruction of US military property, when we blew things up, or from ordinance that didn't work and was declared useless. Of course, the reason these aircraft and helicopters keep crashing is because they have inherent design flaws, which the Department of Defense's Inspector General has admitted, when contracts for the Blackhawk were signed. When weapons systems, which have inherent design flaws, are rushed into production. And if you service them with unreliable spare parts, this is what happens. The "War on Terrorism" has cost us a billion dollars - none of which was lost in combat with anybody. French TV also reported on American money drops to the Afghan peasantry. In fact, it's rather deceptive. You'd think that it's a DoD operation. It's not; the CIA is handling it. This all comes under Operation Drumbeat, headed by Brigadier General Simon Ward from Air Force PsyOps (Psychological Operations). It's all geared to increasing support for America's "War on Terrorism," both domestically and overseas. Remember it was Ward who was to be picked for the creation of that new PsyOps disinformation office and suddenly the government backed away from it. Operation Drumbeat involves both domestic and foreign operations to maintain support for the war on terrorism. Drumbeat just announced that all US service personnel stationed in the United States, when they come into contact with civilians, will have to salute senior citizens. This is done in the hopes that it will increase senior citizens' sense of patriotism and thus increase support for the "War on Terrorism." This will be a way to squeeze another five or ten percentage points in the polls, out of these older military veterans. On May 24, the FBI issued a new Grade 1 Terrorist Alert Attack scenario warning all law enforcement agencies of potential terrorist Attacks by scuba divers and balloonists. You know they have to be pretty desperate, if in order to maintain the "drumbeat," they have to make up warnings about attacks by scuba divers. Especially when you know that only one out of every ten people in land-locked Middle Eastern countries even know how to swim. According to the French news, the CIA is complaining about being overburdened with this money drop program. First of all, the CIA won't use American helicopters. They're frightened of them, pursuant to the article in which the CIA called US helicopters "flying coffins." They've bought Soviet helicopters, which are basically cargo and troop carrying helicopters. Of course, the Afghans already know what Russian helicopters look like, so to ensure that the Afghans put two and two together, the CIA hired a French artist to paint on either side of the front of the helicopter a picture of a smiling George Bush who's waving with his right hand, while in his left hand, he's depicted clutching a roll of US hundred dollar bills The translated Arabic scripture at the bottom reads, "Please be America's friend." The CIA is complaining that every time one of our airplanes or spy drones crashes into some Afghan peasant's hut and squashes a camel, or one of our artillery shells goes awry and blows up some goats, we have to get out there with a helicopter and a money drop to placate them. They showed these Afghans bowing down in prayer. They have a new prayer and it sounded like "Yabba, dabba, jabba, wabba." The CIA guy says that they've learned to identify George Bush with the money and it's a prayer to the Great White Father who causes the heavens to rain down C-Notes. The Afghan peasants can't pronounce "Ben Franklin" or "hundred dollar bill," but they can pronounce C-Notes pretty easily. It showed all these Afghan peasants running around with hundred dollar bills in their hands smiling and jumping, saying, "C-Note. C-Note." It was on the French news service. It showed the Afghans with truckloads of color TVs, microwave ovens and air conditioners brought in from Pakistan. The Afghan chieftain explained that they pray to the Great White father "to send us more C-Notes, but please stop allowing falling objects from the sky from smashing our huts and squashing our camels." European TV reports such stories, but we wouldn't. The CIA is complaining about the DoD that every time one of their planes crash or something goes wrong or they blow up the wrong thing or shoot the wrong people, the CIA has to go and make an airdrop of C-Notes. The CIA is running all the PsyOps in Afghanistan, and the money drop is part of a larger PsyOps program, in order to engender support among the Afghan peasantry and warlords. Brigadier General Simon Ward is in charge of overall PsyOps, and the CIA is just carrying out the policy. You can imagine what support it is for George Bush. Some of these Afghan peasants think that George Bush is some sort of god who can rain down C-Notes endlessly. A lot of people have asked me to explain BFLAP (Bush Fantasy Land Accounting Practices.) I'd like to draw an analogy in laymen's terms. BFLAP Accounting is rather like the guy standing on the street corner selling ten-dollar bills for nine dollars. He's doing a booming business, and a little kid comes up to him and says, "Hey Mister, don't you realize you're losing a dollar on every sale you make?" The man smiles at the kid and says, "Yeah that's right. But I'll make it up on volume." That's the best explanation of BFLAP that I can think of - logical but totally pointless. On the hung-out-to-dry front, it looks like FBI Director Robert Mueller will be made the sacrificial lamb for FBI incompetence. It should be remembered that this Mueller is a guy who was yelled at by former Attorney General Billy Barr at the Department of Justice. Barr yelled at him because every time Mueller would try to shred documents, he'd get his shredder all jammed up, and then he had to call maintenance to get his shredder unjammed. Barr reportedly said to Mueller at the Justice Building on the sixth floor, "What in the hell kind of a right wing cabalist are you? You can't even shred documents right." People know that the administration is going to have to make scapegoats at the Department of Justice. Senior agents are in complete turmoil, and about 16% of them have requested retirement since 9-11. It is just utter chaos. The two FBI agents Whitey and Red, mentioned in previous columns, are over in London. They finally got their retirement squared away and they're writing books. A year from now, you can expect to see a whole crop of new tell-all books about the FBI coming out from former senior agents because people will be looking to cover their asses and not be made scapegoats. The FBI is issuing warnings to the American people under pressure from the White House. Simon Ward and this Operation Drumbeat is doing it just to keep up the proverbial "drumbeat" of war. The FBI, however, is complaining that they don't have any real intelligence. They don't have any real sources of information that are really credible. They do not have the time nor do they have the ability to establish a separate intelligence network. The FBI keeps issuing warnings but they have no idea about the "threat" or lack of threat in tips they receive. It just goes down as a threat. The FBI issued so many warnings against all of the nation's airlines, all of the nation's railroads, all of the nations bridges, all of the nation's cruise ships. And they just kept escalating it every single day. Finally the crescendo ended when they issued a warning about a mass attack by scuba divers and balloonists. They have actually issued a terrorist alert against every piece of infrastructure in the nation. And they have no idea of what they're doing. This is just based on speculation and loose threats, and in some cases, they make up the threats themselves because the Bush Administration puts them under such pressure to come up with constant new threats. This is coming right out of the White House. You have to keep up that drumbeat. You want to see that 90% public opinion supporting the "war on terrorism." Mueller understands, but he really has no options. He was never really that bright a guy. We're talking about a guy who was divorced three times, and each time his wife took him to the cleaners. He wasn't even smart enough to hide money in an offshore account. Even the third wife from West Palm Beach in Florida said so herself. In 1985 when I was still working in the shadows of Washington, I inadvertently walked into the office of the then still secret National Programs Office. I could tell it was a highly classified area because the secretary was sitting out front and instead of having the normal fiberboard cubicles it was all enclosed doors with high security pass cards. The secretary was sitting there filing her nails, and I said, "Oh, I must have the wrong office. And by the way, ma'am, what does the National Programs Office do?" And she, without blinking or missing a stroke from her nails, said, like an automaton, "We're involved in National Emergency Management." And I said, "Well, what does that mean?" And, all of a sudden, she looked confused and befuddled. She put down her file, looked at me, and in an annoyed voice said, "Look, pal, I don't have a clue. I just work here." I've often thought how that one incident bespeaks volumes about our government, how it works, in terms of its efficiency, i.e., people actually knowing what they're doing. The National Programs Office was the operation that Oliver North was made Chairman of in August 1983. It was the military end of FEMA under the Department of Defenses. Its operating mandate was to maintain communications in a post-thermonuclear war environment, to have emergency bunkered supplies. It was just a secret agency within the Department of Defense. The agency itself wasn't secret, but the cover story was that it was simply involved in national emergency management. In fact the emergency they were talking about was maintaining communications and operating facilities for any remaining military forces in a post nuclear war environment. (See last chapter in "The Conspirators" by Al Martin) It should be remembered that all those warehouse facilities outside of Panama City Airport were controlled and financed by the National Programs Office. There were also secret facilities at Iron Mountain, Texas, but that's another story altogether. Finally, on the CNN crawl, the FBI admitted in a tersely worded statement that it had no concrete knowledge of threats to assessed threat levels pursuant to all the warnings they issued. The FBI admitted that they are effectively clueless. They're also complaining that the administration is allowing the CIA to effectively step on them. They're really frightened of that. The turf war between the FBI and the CIA is like never before. The Bush Administration has given the CIA expanded domestic authority. The CIA has announced that it will travel to all the major FBI field offices to review their cases and documents. And that is such a slap in the face of the FBI. A lot of the old FBI agents think that it's the CIA just trying to get the upper hand on the FBI by finding out some of the old secrets the FBI has been up to. There's a feeling in the FBI that there will be a lot of selling out to the CIA. Everybody will be dropping the dime on everyone else. It's reminiscent of the old rivalry between the former Soviet KGB and the GRU. The difference is that their protocol was simpler. If the KGB got in the way, the GRU agents just shot them. That's a pretty definite way to settle turf wars. One of our sources, who was at the White House last week says that George Bush himself must be a reader of this website, AlMartinRaw.com How do we know? He used the term you read here first -BFLAP. Evidently the reason we heard and saw so many terrorist alerts last week was because Bush presented Congress with another $29 billion supplemental budgetary appropriation for homeland security. This is now the seventh supplemental "homeland security" spending bill presented before Congress since 9-11. The president was being told by his advisors that senior members on both sides of the aisle are becoming queasy about passing these enormous spending bills that are principally being listed as "unspecified homeland security spending." The Bush Administration has been very hazy about what all these billions are being used for. All of these supplemental appropriation expenditures, of which there have been seven since 9-11, ranging from $9 billion to $90 billion, are all beyond what the Bush Administration used to tag as the "$50 billion emergency reserve." There really was a reserve for supplemental security and/or military spending. The problem is that they've long since blown through the fifty billion. With the passage of this bill, we would have spent, since 9-11, almost $200 billion in supplemental spending. This is all "supplemental," and this is what confuses the American people because the mainstream media doesn't spell it out. The American people are being led to believe that all this supplemental spending is included in Department of Defense appropriations, regular DoD budgets, or other government agency budgets. It isn't. It's all supplemental appropriation. The president was told by one of his advisors, "Sir, we have already overspent the emergency reserve by $143 billion. How are we going to hide this spending? Because if we don't, by the close of fiscal year 2002, (September 2002), we are going to have a federal budget deficit that will be twice as much or more than what we've told the American people it would be. So how are we going to hide this spending?" George Bush purportedly smiled, raised his right finger and said, "BFLAP." At that point, all of his gathered minions in the Oval Office smiled and snickered. We'll hide excess spending the way we Bushes have always hidden excess spending. We'll BFLAP it. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
