The Blacklisting of Helen Thomas January 08, 2011 Danny Schecter explains how the Lobby works Danny Schechter, executive editor of MediaChannel.org, discusses his new article that revisits journalist Helen Thomas’s career-ending Israel gaffe; how selective quotation from the “gotcha” clip turned Thomas’s poorly phrased response into “proof” of her anti-Semitism; the media hit pieces, gloating about Thomas’s exile, that make clear there is little tolerance in Washington for Israel-critics; and Schechter’s firsthand account – while working for ABC News in 1982 – of an Israeli campaign to stop the airing of an investigative news story about the West Bank.

Saturday, January 8, 2011 CIA Asset Susan Lindauer blows the whistle on 9/11, Iraq Susan Lindauer, author of Extreme Prejudice, is the first CIA asset to have spoken out, under her own name and for the record, on Israeli complicity in 9/11, the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center, and the specific, detailed foreknowledge of the time, target, and means of the 9/11 attacks held throughout the months prior to 9/11 by the CIA in general and Lindauer's CIA handler, Richard Fuisz, in particular. She has also exposed her first-hand knowledge of pre-war intelligence and negotiations showing that Iraq was willing to give the US "anything it asked" and that the war was therefore--from the perspective of US interests--not only utterly unnecessary, but wildly counterproductive. Lindauer's evidence points strongly to 9/11 being a coup d'etat by hard-line Zionists determined to steer the US into a self-destructive war on Israel's enemies. truthjihad.blogspot.com/2011/01/cia-asset-susan-lindauer-blows-whistle.html

About Thomas' quote. One step needed to stop terrorism By John D. Harbon Foreign Affairs Analyst - Thomson News Service January 13 1986 Excerpt: Not Facing Facts Both the Israelis and their intelligence services refuse to accept a harsh fact of life, the one that more than any other has set the Middle East on flame since 1948. This is the Israeli refusal to permit the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian exiles who live and work around the world who are not terrorists, to return home and reclaim their lands. At the same time, those world Jews who have never lived in Israel (the pre-1948 British mandate of Palestine) but who have immigrated to Israel, can and do become Israeli citizens.

Former NSA Chief Called CIA 'Out of Control' Jan 14, 2011 – 7:53 PM The CIA is "out of control" and often refuses to cooperate with other parts of the national security community, even undermining their efforts, said former National Security Agency head William Odom, according to a recently released record of a 9/11 Commission interview. cryptome.org/nara/dod/dod-03-1112.pdf (6pp) "The CIA currently doesn't work for anyone. It thinks it works for the president, but it doesn't and it's out of control," says a report summarizing remarks made by Odom, a retired three-star general who served as director of the NSA from 1985 to 1988. www.aolnews.com/2011/01/14/former-nsa-chief-william-odom-called-cia-out-of-control/I'm not sure if this already is posted: Hersh: 'Executive assassination ring' reported directly to Cheney Published: Wednesday March 11, 2009 Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh dropped a bombshell on Tuesday when he told an audience at the University of Minnesota that the military was running an "executive assassination ring" throughout the Bush years which reported directly to former Vice President Dick Cheney. The remark came out seemingly inadvertently when Hersh was asked by the moderator of a public discussion of "America's Constitutional Crisis" whether abuses of executive power, like those which occurred under Richard Nixon, continue to this day. Hersh replied, "After 9/11, I haven't written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it. They haven't been called on it yet." rawstory.com/news/2008/Hersh_US_has_been_running_executive_0311.html

It looks like Obama was blackmailed to shut his Purple Hotel Democrat trap, about anything having to do with the official, few-bad-apple narrative.

After Eight Years, Awal Gul Dies of Exercise in Gitmo Perhaps this is how Obama will close the facility, suggests Jason Ditz after reporting on the death of Awal Gul, he will let everyone die. After eight years in Gitmo, Gul was found dead in the shower. The "seventh captive to die in U.S. custody at Gitmo," it is alleged that he suffered from a heart attack after exercising. "As with many other detainees at the facility, the U.S. claimed to have considerable evidence against Gul, but never attempted to charge him with any crime and, nine years after his capture and eight and a half years into his stay at Guantanamo Bay, he died a prisoner, but an uncharged one." news.antiwar.com/2011/02/03/8-years-in-gitmo-without-charges-detainee-dies-of-exercise/

Jimmy Carter Sued for $5 Million for Criticism of Israel Book's Criticism 'Violates NY Consumer Protection Law' Insists Lawyer by Jason Ditz, February 03, 2011 In a move that calls back to the attempt by Texas cattlemen to sue Oprah Winfrey for “defamation of beef.” an Israeli lawyer has filed a class-action lawsuit against former President Jimmy Carter, seeking $5 million in damages because his book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” allegedly defamed Israel. Attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner insisted that Carter’s book violated New York State’s Consumer Protection Laws by asserting things, largely that Israel was not inherently reasonable and Syria was not inherently unreasonable, that “even a child” knows is untrue. The suit went on to condemn Carter, saying he had an “agenda of anti-Israel propaganda” and condemned publisher Simon and Shuster for advertising the book as a work on non-fiction. The legal complaint insists Carter has the right to publish a book “to put forward his virulent anti-Israel bias” but insisted that such a book could only be sold as a work of fiction. news.antiwar.com/2011/02/03/jimmy-carter-sued-for-5-million-for-criticism-of-israel/
