[CTRL] Fw: Re: [CTRL] OPERATION CLYDESDALE
-Caveat Lector- Johannes, Raylean with her RuMills is very widely read and enjoys a huge following. You might want to check out her website before so quickly discrediting her. I believe her husband is still being held in a foreign jail but have not been following that lately. Please also note that this refers to an 1985 action-not today. This would have been long disbanded and no longer in operation. It could not possible target a pedophile ring today as some of the members are jailed, dead, etc. I do not understand what is worse than this--you list several things such as murder but how is that different/worse than being killed in a "snuff movie" as that is murder, too, isn't it? Are you saying that murder committed in pedophilia is some how not as bad as other murder? I don't understand what you mean with that. To these child victim's, I am sure nothing could be more horrible. I do not understand your logic that "attempted murder" is worse than a child being killed for the gratification of pedophiles and find your attitude reprehensible. As for these things being thoroughly investigated, I guess the Jon Benet Ramsey case addresses that. Even with all the publicity, that case was once again and typically "bungled" as these so frequently are. Also, a covert operation by the US in 1985 could have the same name as a British one now as this info was supposedly not released until recently. Names could be duplicated with two different countries and the time span. I don't know if the article is truth or fiction but I do pay attention to RuMills as I have learned quite a few things from her over the years. I do not so easily discount what she has to say. It could well be a 'fictionalized' account of something that actually happened also but I tend to believe it has some basis in fact as there are too many substantiating accounts from other sources. Remember the 'caveat lector' on every post means we each decide if it is true or not unless we have absolute proof to the contrary.

Re: [CTRL] OPERATION CLYDESDALE
-Caveat Lector- Well of course your experiences are terrible, but this doesn't change what I wrote. If these paedophiles are openly operating in your town, surely this supposed Operation Clydesdale would have targeted them for termination before they rushed off to Eastern Europe to kill some paedophiles there. Paedophilia is a terrible crime, but it should be looked at in perspective. People get very emotional about it but there are worse crimes, legally, such as: Murder, Treason, Attempted Murder. It is also on a par with crimes such as rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, drug dealing etc. My point was that this article is clearly a very unlikely scenario, and seems to be written more like a (bad) potboiler novel aimed at young adults. It also seems to misrepresent Operation Clydesdale which is a British assassination apparatus rather than an American anti-paedophile 'strike force'.

[CTRL] OPERATION CLYDESDALE--PEDOPHILE ERADICATION
-Caveat Lector- I am a survivor of many pedophiles and your statement saying that the police thoroughly investigate this type of activity. I can see that your remark is from a person who has never been abused. Abused or not, sex abuse and pedophilia is one of the worst criminal acts that a lot is dismissed. Besides, some of the pedophiles are known people. The system has never worked for any victim much. I speak from years of experience on this and anybody here would agree that it is not investigated the way it should be. Others back me up? Ha..if you want. But a statement like this makes me feel so discouraged if this is what the whole world would think. Very hard to get a lot of these crimes persecuted. As a matter of factly, a well known psychiatrist in this area (whom I was seeing at the time) and never done anything to me but a very personal friend who seen him also. Anyway, the doctor relinquished his license as many women started coming forward. But criminally, nothing is being done and it is being ignored as this particular man is part of this town's Illuminati. His best friend is a former chief of police who was thrown out for his misdeeds. Anyway, this survivor remembers all too much what happened with this shrink and others with him. The attorneys are trying to get it on a criminal account too with yet no such luck. This same shrink years ago had a patient die under his care and he was written up only for lack of care and gave 10 years probation for other things he did. But he still got to practice!!! He was being watched per say. Who can watch him at night because his fortress is all locked up. This man is very clever and will no doubt get away with any criminal activity and already trying to get rid of his assests. So please do not say you believe this type of action if taken care of. It is the one crime that gets away with more than any other.

It was a time of grief, abject sadness; a time for the tears we couldn't cry. The cold anger of the men was evident throughout the strained meal. Everyone was merely going through the motions, picking at the food, which was placed in front of them. Three members of my Special Operations Group were dead. Two others had sustained such severe injuries which would, in all likelihood, preclude them from further service with the Group. The civilian death toll, attributed to accidental and or stray rounds, for the entire operation stood at four. The actual ordered or condoned sanctions exceeded a verified body count of sixty-seven. Although the operation was considered a raving success by Rudolph Guilliani, the United States Attorney for the District of New York, we felt betrayed by and through the revocation of the Executive Sanction which had fielded our unit, and given us clear and free hand to terminate, with prejudice, any and all persons associated with the targeted pedophile ring, both at home and abroad. We were stopped short of that mark by
[CTRL] OPERATION CLYDESDALE--PART TWO
-Caveat Lector- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OPERATION CLYDESDALE--PART TWO III. THE MISSION Approximately six and one half miles from Bonn, West Germany, at the end of a remote, tightly secured airstrip, which happened to not appear on any aeronautical charts, the turboprop engines of a Lockheed C-130 shook and roared to max power as it began its takeoff roll and lumbered down the long runway. Steadily gaining speed, the throttles firewalled, the transport rattled and creaked, threatening to come apart at the seams, as it rotated, lifting its broad frame into the cold night air, while climbing slowly away from the retreating lights of the CIA isolation base and mission staging area. We were banking into a slow turn, while gaining altitude, the C-130 heading due east before following a southerly course over the mountainous region of the beautiful Bavarian forest which formed the West German frontier with Czechoslovakia. The course had been most precisely planned to track a narrow corridor, above and parallel to the commercial airline routes of the area; the takeoff time of 2030 hours coinciding with a period of heavy commercial air traffic. If all went according to our plans our effort to divert attention from the Czech radar operators away from the flight path of the C-130 would soon be augmented by elements of the United States Air Force, based out of Rhein Main AFB. The DCI, through proper channels, had requested two formations of fighter aircraft to fly border cover for us. The fighters were scheduled to arrive in the border area at the same time as the C-130. Their mission, the true purpose unknown to the pilots, was to conduct high speed night maneuvers a few miles north of the release point where my Team would exit the transport via HAHO parachute jump. All was going according to the preset plan. We were nearing the point of no return; a point where the mission would be committed to go. I left the cockpit and made my way to the aft section of the plane. Jockeying for position, I saw the faces of the men with whom I would be sharing nods and last instructions. We were set to go. A firm resolve was visible on all the faces the team was ready for whatever might come. I found my seat of nylon webbing, located on the starboard side of the aircraft, while the vibrations of the deck plates traveled up through my entire body. The sound of the engines was somewhat muffled by my helmet, while I listened to the rhythm of my own breathing through the demand regulator attached to my oxygen mask. My thoughts were concentrated on the mission. The details of the OPS Order were burned into my memory, along with the countless other details I would have to call into play, before the long night ahead was to be over. At the staging area, and along the flight to Germany, there had been no false bravado or tough talk about the mission, just a silent confidence and professional ease. Most of the men had served one or more combat tours in Viet Nam, or taken part in some strategic-OPS, planned and orchestrated by our masters in Langley. To a man, we were seasoned veterans, ready to do a job. My eyes settled on B X, the CIA paramilitary specialist seated on the opposite side of the aircraft. X had been chosen by the Agency to act as oxygen safety man and jumpmaster for the HAHO insertion. Needless to say I had questioned him at length at the isolation base, and was more than satisfied that X was far more than merely qualified to handle the tasks assigned to him. The man had made more than two thousand jumps, and had been through special jump schools during his lengthy tour of service with the Army. We were rapidly approaching the drop zone, as we continued to monitor each other, making sure that our systems were being saturated with oxygen, making all the while sure that we weren't hyperventilating. Such irregular breathing, caused by stress or symptoms of hypoxia. We had been prebreathing pure oxygen for thirty minutes prior to take off from the staging area, and would continue to take in such oxygen for the duration of the thirty minute flight to the release point, saturating our systems for the jump. our safety margin was slim as continued to climb to thirty-three thousand feet. At that altitude, hypoxic effects could occur within 45 seconds. We removed the arming pins to permit our main chutes to open at the twenty-five hundred feet level, in the event that any member of the team became dysfunctional or physically incapable of deploying the chute after exiting the aircraft. The aircraft had reached thirty-three thousand feet and was now fully depressurized to the outside air pressure in preparation for the opening of the tailgate ramp. Despite the inefficiency of the heater in the cargo bay, the team was well insulated from the ice cold air. Upon arrival at the isolation base, we had turned in all clothing and personal effects, including all

I didn't think that there would be quite so many of us, as we began the process of finding our seats.

He was an innocent, living in a world that didn't necessarily consider children to be innocent. Quickly, I stole a hurried glance to the man seated to my right. An expression of extreme pain crossed his brow, as he sank his eyes towards his dinner plate. None of the men in the room were able to meet each others eyes.
