The legacy of MK Ultra lives on and it may be very costly for American manufacturers. Thank you, conservative Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has denied Remington Arms Co.’s bid to block a lawsuit filed by families of victims of the Sandy Hook school massacre. The families say Remington should be held liable, as the maker and promoter of the AR-15-style rifle used in the 2012 killings.

The court opted not to hear the gun-maker’s appeal, in a decision that was announced Tuesday morning. The justices did not include any comment about the case, Remington Arms Co. v. Soto, as they turned it away.

Remington had appealed to the highest federal court after the Connecticut Supreme Court allowed the Sandy Hook lawsuit to proceed in March. In recent court filings, Remington says the case “presents a nationally important question” about U.S. gun laws — namely, how to interpret the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which grants broad immunity to gun-makers and dealers from prosecution over crimes committed with their products.

Remington manufactured the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle that Adam Lanza used on Dec. 14, 2012, to kill 20 first-graders and six adults at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Attention, businesses of any kind. If you sell a product that someone else uses in a crime, then you may be liable. Welcome to Connecticut, 2019. How conservative to step aside and let communists set national policy! Thank you for your service.

The Insidious Evil: When the Unbelievable is 100% True

The Conspiracy is usually a Fact, not a Theory.

No need to fret, [Redacted], whoever prepared the FBI document dump on the Finders also threw in a map produced from the execution of a search warrant on McMartin preschool in Manhattan Beach, CA.

If the name McMartin Preschool rings a bell, it’s because the school gained infamy as ground zero for the child abuse case that kicked off the so-called Satanic Panic.

360 children were alleged to have been abused at McMartin daycare. Many of the children claimed that they’d been subjected to sexual and satanic ritual abuse in a system of tunnels under the school. When investigators declared that excavations turned up nothing, the claim of secret tunnels became a byword for spurious ritual abuse claims.

Now, after a generation of ridicule, the FBI has confirmed the tunnels’ existence, vindicating the children’s testimony.

A Coup by Any Other Name…

As Tom Ironsides told me, Trump has rattled the cages. The CIA and the deep state are pulling a slow, painful coup.

The 2020 Democratic candidate with whom the CIA whistleblower had a “professional” tie is Joe Biden, according to intelligence officers and former White House officials.

Lawyers for the whistleblower said he had worked only “in the executive branch.” The Washington Examiner has established that he is a career CIA analyst who was detailed to the National Security Council at the White House and has since left. On Sept. 26, the New York Times reported that he was a CIA officer. On Oct. 4, the newspaper added that he “was detailed to the National Security Council at one point.”

Michael Atkinson, the Intelligence Community’s inspector general, told members of Congress that the whistleblower had a “professional tie” to a 2020 Democratic candidate. He had written earlier that while the whistleblower’s complaint was credible, he had shown “some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate.”

A retired CIA officer told the Washington Examiner, “From everything we know about the whistleblower and his work in the executive branch then, there is absolutely no doubt he would have been working with Biden when he was vice president.”

The same people who destroyed America and who have set the US Empire into a death spiral are hell-bent on retaining power all the way down. Have they no rope in Washington?

The CIA v. The Donald

Ukraine! Ukraine! Ukraine! just doesn’t have the ring of Russia! Russia! Russia! Regardless, the CIA’s lawyer saw fit to interject herself.

Weeks before the whistleblower’s complaint became public, the CIA’s top lawyer made what she considered to be a criminal referral to the Justice Department about the whistleblower’s allegations that President Donald Trump abused his office in pressuring the Ukrainian president, U.S. officials familiar with the matter tell NBC News.

The move by the CIA’s general counsel, Trump appointee Courtney Simmons Elwood, meant she and other senior officials had concluded a potential crime had been committed, raising more questions about why the Justice Department later declined to open an investigation.

Maybe it’s because the domestic law enforcement (just the jurisdiction and all) didn’t find a crime??? And, this is from an NBC story, so it’s possible it’s all cleverly edited like a Florida 911 call. But, as-is, it’s double hearsay – reporting on a report about things that might have been heard… Impeach!

But, remember: Steve Bannon will now tell you that any conspiracy theory about “THE DEEP STATE” is totally nuts. No word on whether he would tell you that from Jeff Epstein’s house in Paris – where Bannon was a guest just last year. No deep state at all! It’s just the friend of a dead pedophile racketeer and foreign spy telling you to ignore what the fake news broadcasts about the Trumped (ah!) up allegations of a hysterical Congress contrived and based on the complaint of a leaking “asset” (and lawyer) (neither of whom are authorized by law to operate within the US) about the way the chief law enforcement officer and diplomat handled a criminal probe in a foreign country involving yet more usual suspects. Totally nuts…

Come to think of it … the obviously co-opted Judge Napolitano (sad, yeah) would say this is all very criminal. He may be right about the crime but wrong about the suspect.

The Case of the Undercover Fox

A former CIA babe ruffles fake feathers with a new book.

A former CIA officer who says she spent years under deep cover has written what appears to be one of the most revealing memoirs ever put to paper by an American intelligence operative — a book so intriguing that Apple bought the television rights even before its October publication date.

But the book, “Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA,” by Amaryllis Fox, has become embroiled in dual controversies.

Some former CIA officers who have learned about its contents are questioning its veracity, saying key details don’t ring true. Some are casting doubt on the book’s climactic scene, Fox’s recounting of a dramatic solo meeting she says she had in Karachi, Pakistan, with al Qaeda-linked extremists.

And, in an extraordinary move, Fox submitted her memoir to publisher Knopf Doubleday without getting approval from the CIA’s Publication Review Board, in violation of the nondisclosure agreement every agency officer signs, according to three U.S. officials familiar with the matter. That agreement says the CIA must review anything a former officer writes about intelligence matters to insure that she is not revealing secrets or endangering lives.

Not to worry. I have reviewed this matter with Tom Ironsides. He said, referring to Fox as “Foxy A,” that there’s nothing dangerous in her book (and that any allegations of romantic liaisons with him are utterly false, unless otherwise). “A lot of lies were told. Some of them were even true,” he said. It seems not all things NCS are equal. “She learned to shoot at Peary. That’s so cute. Speaking of cute … she [REDACTED…..],” Ironsides added, pouring another Scotch.

Rest assured, the TeeVee (and movie) rights to the Ironsides saga will not be sold to Apple or any other mainstream outlet – barring substantial payment.*

Jeff Epstein: Cosmo Man and Int’l Intelligence Asset

By “a cute Texas girl,” he really meant a literal girl (preferably under 18). Cosmo isn’t the real indicator though.

The Mail described Epstein as an enigmatic figure, rumored to be a concert pianist, a math teacher at an elite girls’ school, and connected to the CIA and Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency. “The most intriguing rumor is that he was a corporate spy hired by big businesses to uncover money that had been embezzled,” the article stated.

In 1993, the Washington Times depicted Epstein as a “maverick investor and Clinton supporter” and “president of the Limited clothing-store empire.” (The New York Times, in a 1991 blurb, identified Epstein as “president of Wexner Investment Company.”)

Going where the prey is? Check.

Dual loyalties? Check.

Birds of a feather? Check.

Rope?

Shouting About The Big Stick

So much for avoiding foreign entanglements. USSOCOM is advising and bragging about overthrowing governments.

No kidding – this is not our headline, but Newsweek’s: “US Special Forces School Publishes New Guide For Overthrowing Foreign Governments” – and as far as we can tell they are the only major mainstream outlet to have picked up on the fact that the US military is now essentially openly bragging on past and future capabilities to foster covert regime change operations.

The 250-page study entitled “Support to Resistance: Strategic Purpose and Effectiveness” was put out by the Joint Special Operations University under US Special Operations Command, which is the Army’s official unified command center which overseas all joint covert and clandestine missions out of MacDill AFB, Florida.

“This work will serve as a benchmark reference on resistance movements for the benefit of the special operations community and its civilian leadership,” the report introduces.

The study examines 47 instances of US special forces trying to intervene in various countries from 1941-2003, thus special attention is given to the Cold War, but it doesn’t include coups which lacked “legitimate resistance movements” — such as the case of ‘Operation AJAX’ in 1953 which overthrew Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh.

MK Ultra And Other Government Crimes – clearing the drafts

***Note*** I’ve got a lot of drafts sitting around, some in existence and unpublished since 2013. It became obvious to me that I’m in no hurry to get around to them. But, they’ve survived various draft purges over the years. If they’re that important I can just come back and elaborate later. For now, I offer them, kind of as-is, in this, a lightning publishing round. The fun will continue while supplies last. Make of these what you will. Or not. I don’t care.

*****

The purpose, the only legitimate purpose, of a government, is to protect the rights of its citizens.  The U.S. government has delegitimized itself by committing crime after crime against the People, here and everywhere else.  I think this will be the first of a long series on the American government’s crimes against the People.  I picked MK Ultra because it is so shocking and because most people have never heard of it.

That’s what I had five and a half years ago. I have had a series, of sorts – maybe not as organized as I had envisioned. The good news is that in that time I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of citizens aware of the evil. MKU was back in the news (ongoing ops) and back on this site last Saturday. And, I’ve mentioned it before – not that that seemed to help. 

MKUltra, the Evil That Keeps on Killing

Thank God for government, right? Without Washington, who would break all the laws passed in Washington?

A Wiki (sorry, Vox) quote about US “intelligence” prior to 1942:

“Prior to the formation of the OSS, the various departments of the executive branch, including the State, Treasury, Navy, and War Departments conducted American intelligence activities on an ad hoc basis, with no overall direction, coordination, or control. ”

Then, came the OSS and, right behind it, the CIA – with all the added illegality, such as project MKUltra. (Read all about that ongoing fiasco – no time to elaborate). If anything changed, the lack of direction, coordination, and control certainly did not.

The CIA should be disbanded and destroyed. It won’t be. But, we appear to be getting the next best thing. If an organization is compromised and run by completely incompetent people, then its harmful effects may be mitigated. So it is. Gina Haspel, the female head of that wayward agency has appointed another woman, Elizabeth Kimber, to run the dreaded Operations division, which controls Clandestine Services, Paramilitary Ops and all. That’s the outfit that killed those who killed Osama (the second bullet-induced death, not the previous renal incident).

If the Q crowd did anything, they showed us that the agency can be electronically blinded, if only temporarily. The new direction of control hormonally guarantees inefficiency and redirection of purpose. The moves should make for a meaner and much viscous culture, but one that’s incapable of actually accomplishing much. For that, we should be grateful.
