Obama's carrying Bush's blackwater and BW=Z!

How else will Messiah Obomber give us the Holy Rapture if there were no Prince of Blackwater involved.

Hitler seanced for War Demons.

Why did Hitler invade Russia after making a Treaty with Russia?.

A French/ Japanese women was part of a group in Paris that banished Hitlers War Demon from earth

The United States today:

"Silently the Corpse awaited the autopsy."

Certainly you jest! The CIA deceive? The question that should be asked: Have they ever told a truth?

I think it's appropriate if Ray McGovern's editorial about the CIA in Michael Moore's site is referred to:

Blackwater/Xe is a business...what if Pakistan/Yemen/Afganistan/Irzaq/Iran/AlQaeda offered them a better deal?

The true forerunner of the CIA was not the OSS, but the Keystone Kops.

Mercenary forces are indispensable to empires, and the US Hegemony is no exception.

In the aftermath of the declaration of the Global War on Terror, reprehensible organizations like Blackwater, Custer Battles, etc. were like extra arms surgically attached to the US Armed Forces. They're more like poison tentacles than arms, though.

The general impression is that the US government/military "needed" extra help, as retail establishments at one time hired scads of temp workers to conduct an inventory. Or a banquet hall hiring temporary waitstaff, etc. Once the Big Event winds down, the temps can be dismissed.

In truth, it's not so simple: as superb independent investigative reporters like Jeremy Scahill have been shouting from the rooftops during this century, the relationship is much more symbiotic, enduring, and fundamental than the average person-- perhaps even the average Elected Misrepresentative-- thinks.

In a triumph of disaster capitalism, our military and state security services have privatized as they've mushroomed; the bottom line definitely isn't Truth, Justice, and the American Way, assuming for discussion's sake that it ever was.

I believe that these sinister and secretive private state security organizations run the same kinds of clandestine operations and disinformation campaigns against governments-- both client governments and "host" governments, e.g. the Iraqi and Af-Pak-Ye governments-- as they purportedly do on terrorist organizations.

That's one reason I've remained skeptical and unimpressed when naïve and gullible persons cheer that "Obama ended the occupation in Iraq" or "Obama put an end to torture".

When governments dance with the mercenary devil-- especially now that mercenaries come in the form of professional international corporations-- the result is a cross-purposes quadrille in which the parties occasionally step on each other's cloven hooves, or jump to avoid being stepped on, but nevertheless remain locked in an embrace intended to allow them to remain upright.

The hapless Elected Misrepresentatives may get all a-flutter and squawk with indignation when confronted by scandalous or embarrassing events; they may demand to know What's Going on Here, or alternatively threaten to Get to the Bottom of This!

Senators Sheldon Whitehouse or Russ Feingold, like Jan Schakowsky, may briefly rear up on their hind legs and "vow" or "resolve" to get a firmer grip on the mercenary tiger's tail. But the tail's got a grip of its own.

Besides, it's a foregone conclusion that such would-be reformers will allocate such limited resources to their efforts, and be so aggressively spun in circles by their own government, from Team Obama to the Pentagon to the Truman Building (State) to Langley, that they'll emerge knowing less than when they started.

It's possible that persons like Erik Prince will one day get their comeuppance, but even that's a long shot. At best, he's a potential scapegoat; as lovely as it would be to see Prince "frog-marched" in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs, it would amount to his "taking one for the team"-- like in "Goodfellas", when circumstances demand that a "made man" take a rap for the family or organization's benefit.

I can't say whether CIA Director Panetta is True Believer or a careerist dupe, but I'm confident that WHOEVER is really running the CIA would answer the question, "Blackwater and the Khost Bombing: Is the CIA Deceiving Congress?" by replying, "If we're not, we're not doing our job."

Good on Jan Schakowski. But the only meaningful reform is campaign reform to get money and revolving doors out of politics.

"The two Blackwater men were reportedly in the room for the expected briefing by the double agent, Humam Khalil Muhammad Abu Mulal al-Balawi, who claimed to have recently met with Al Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri."

Would the deputy Chief of your local police department set up a meeting at his headquarters, with a dozen of his top vice squad operatives simultaneously present, to interview a snitch-informant who claimed to have met recently with the head of the town's most notorious, dangerous drug dealing gang?

Why would there have been a couple of private detectives also present for any such meeting?

Who is in charge here? Not congress, and not the president. Is it organized crime (gunrunners, etc.)? Nobody seems ever to do anything about the CIA and the "contractors" who kill and maim and lie. They are getting lots of money for themselves and those who tell them what to do. Now, back to my original question: Who is in charge here?

Does anyone really, seriously believe that Blackwater and the CIA are separate entities? My guess is that the CIA invented Blackwater, just like they did the Mujihadin (Al Ciada) and a number of other terrorist groups over the last half century. They've created quite a few front corporations as well as more than a few banks. My guess is that they've even created a church or two. This is like a perfect combination. A corporation, and a Christian terrorist army all rolled into one - with more immunity from the law than the CIA , if that were possible. If they didn't create it I'm guessing they wish they had, and would have had they thought of it.

How are Blackwater's operations paid for? How are their bases supplied? Is this money in the Pentagon budget, or some other place in the Federal budget, or just completely off-budget slush funds? Do they run their own supply operations or are do they just order from the Pentagon?

Think about this - the U.S. military that spends as much as the rest of the world's militaries combined still ISN'T BIG ENOUGH! They need hundreds of thousands of mercenaries as well. It shows you how out of control and unsustainable this empire is.

I suggest poeple watch this Video....American Idiot we are ok with it all.

Liars lying to liars about liars who lie to us about lying.

the CIA , NSA and sundry other institutions of the US Surveillance Police State can't possibly be anything other than fundamentally about lying, obfuscation, secretiveness, underhandedness ...it's the nature and essence of their very existence.

it's just a matter of creating something - the security system - that becomes a Frankensteinian Monster with a life of its own and a law unto itself and a shadow government.

it doesn't matter if it has people that are "law abiding" or "honest" or "serious professionals".

as some wise person said about governance:

when secret things keep on and on..and in the case of the CIA and surveillance, it just increases over time -

"everything secret degenerates".

obviously - in any complex organization such as a nation -- the doings of a government or institutions or parts of a society can not possibly be KNOWN by all as a matter of the wealth of information flying around. and not necessarily out of intentional secretiveness.

but the CIA and such institutions are INHERENTLY secretive and from THERE BECOME degenerate - to include LYING to those it supposedly serves for no better and more banal a reason than to promote and protect its OWN power regardless of its usefulness ...it begins to exist for its own sake...to the point that -- far more than any dangers it supposedly protects against, IT becomes the real and primary danger to those it supposedly "protects".

it is like nurturing a pet crocodile and leaving it in the backyard with a swimming pool to guard one's baby..while one goes shopping...to protect the baby from dogs outside the fence.

the question :"DID THE CIA LIE TO CONGRESS?"

Is the SUN HOT? does rain fall? do we breathe air?

The American people never do learn, Do they?

Just wait until Xe (Black Water) takes over security from the NSA and FBI. Once the power elite are able to pull that off then we are all screwed! The fact is that you only have rights under our constitution when you are dealing with the government bureaucracy. If you are dealing with a private security firm you have no constitutional protections, you are at their mercy! Now don't you feel alot safer?
We now return you to your CNN/Fox News programming already in progress.

Obama was paid for by the CIA/Wall Street Gang, and Poppy, to continue what Junior Bush started,- beginning with 9/11. The CIA, Xe, are the terrorist who deliberately invaded a foreign country to murder. Our troops are the scrape goats.

Who's in charge?

it's like our obedient servant's analogy to the tail/head dragon except that it seems a manyheaded/manytailed dragon eating and shitting on itself simultaneously. and absolutely no one is in charge. the man behind the screen is us and we can't find and shut off the automatic pilot button.

The CIA deceiving Congress? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Please say it ain't so. Not the CIA, those patriotic, kind, loving, peace-spreading folks who selflessly help people all over the world with their internal affairs and, in particular, with deposing and/or picking their governments, whether they like it or not. And if you don't believe me, ask the Iranians or the Hondurans or the Chileans. They can tell ya a story or two or three for that matter.
