Breaking News and Commentary from Citizens For Legitimate Government | 30 Aug 2009

'I'll Reveal True Identity of Bomber' --Sources close to Megrahi believe he may actually have been a double agent working for the FBI or the CIA. 23 Aug 2009 An American citizen is to be named by the Lockerbie bomber as the man who really carried out the terrorist attack on Pan Am Flight 103. Lawyers for the bomber were to argue that an "elusive" terrorist codenamed Abu Elias planted the bomb in December 1988, causing the deaths of 270 innocent people. Megrahi is now expected to identify the man behind this alias. The Scottish Sunday Express tracked this man down to his home in the US, and he strongly denied having anything to do with the atrocity. However, we can reveal that he has connections to at least two international terrorists and a Palestinian terror group, as well as links to the US intelligence services. The man, who works as a schools engineer for the US government, was to become the central figure in Megrahi’s aborted appeal. [What's interesting about all of this is that if it's proven that a CIA agent carried out oh-but-another terrorist attack, the US media will stop referring to him as a terrorist and start referring to him as an 'activist,' 'militant' or 'rebel,' just like they do with abortion clinic bombers and Luis Posada Carriles. Carriles, another CIA-backed terrorist, is wanted in Venezuela for the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed all 73 people on board. They're busy little bees at the CIA. When they're not drilling or waterboarding people, they're blowing up airplanes. --LRP]

Lockerbie bomber: Megrahi's lawyer to release dossier 'proving' his innocence --The lawyer acting for the freed Lockerbie bomber is flying to Libya to prepare for the release of a dossier of evidence 'proving' his client's innocence. 29 Aug 2009 Tony Kelly, a Scottish solicitor, said that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, who returned to his homeland ten days ago after being released from prison on compassionate grounds, remains determined to show his guilty verdict was unjust... The disclosure... raises the likelihood of further embarrassment for Scotland over the handling of the original trial and it could lead to fresh questions over whether Megrahi was innocent and, if so, who was really behind the bombing.

Megrahi fights on to clear his name 31 Aug 2009 The Scottish lawyer acting for the freed Lockerbie bomber is to fly to Libya to prepare a dossier of evidence ''proving'' his client's innocence. Tony Kelly said Abdel Basset al-Megrahi remains determined to show the guilty verdict at his trial in 2001 was unjust. Megrahi was freed and returned to Libya two days after he withdrew his second appeal against his conviction.

Cheney says cooperation with CIA probe "will depend" [OMG --just arrest his a*s!] McCain concerned about effect on 'CIA morale' [Yes, we wouldn't want to keep a good waterboarder down.] 30 Aug 2009 Former Vice President [sic] Dick Cheney said he might refuse to speak with a prosecutor investigating suspected CIA prisoner abuses, a probe he branded as political and bad for national security. Cheney has been one of the fiercest critics of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's decision last week to name a new special prosecutor to look deeper into harsh interrogations torture of captured terrorism suspects during the Bush regime. The cases under investigation include a mock execution, use of a power drill to scare a prisoner and the waterboarding of accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 183 times.

'They were war crimes.' Blackwater Founder Accused in Court of Intent to Kill 29 Aug 2009 The founder of Blackwater USA deliberately caused the deaths of innocent civilians in a series of shootings in Iraq, attorneys for Iraqis suing the security contractor mercenaries told a federal judge Friday. The attorneys singled out Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL who is the company's owner, for blame in the deaths of more than 20 Iraqis between 2005 and 2007. Six former Blackwater guards were criminally charged in 14 of the shootings, and family members and victims' estates sued Prince, Blackwater (now called Xe Services LLC) and a group of related companies. "The person responsible for these deaths is Mr. Prince,'' Susan L. Burke, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. "He had the intent, he provided the weapons, he provided the instructions, and they were done by his agents and they were war crimes.''

Contractor Accused of Death Threats 28 Aug 2009 A military contractor under investigation on allegations he overbilled and did faulty repair work on Navy and Army aircraft has been charged with threatening to kill witnesses in the case, according to a complaint unsealed Thursday. Keith E. Shaw, owner of Shaw Aero in Louisville, traveled to Tennessee to buy explosives as part of a plot to blow up his former business partner's plane, according to an affidavit filed in federal court by an investigator for the U.S. Department of Defense.

Contractor to pay $15 million to settle lawsuit Staff report 28 Aug 2009 An Air Force contractor has agreed to pay $15 million plus interest to settle a false claims lawsuit involving computer equipment sold to Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., the Air Force announced Thursday. The U.S. Attorney General’s Office had accused Dynamics Research Corporation, known as DRC, of selling computer chips and other equipment that failed to meet Air Force specifications to the Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom.

Guantánamo guard held at Heathrow --Outspoken critic of US policy told the Observer that he had been detained and questioned by US airport officials on Thursday 30 Aug 2009 A former Guantánamo guard who had flown to the UK to address a support group for inmates of the camp is to be deported back to the US this morning after being denied entry on arrival at Heathrow airport yesterday. Terry Holdbrooks, who has been an outspoken critic of the US government over the treatment of prisoners at Guantánamo, said that immigration officials told him he was being refused entry because he was unemployed and living in rented accommodation in the US, raising suspicions he would not leave the UK.

Iraq Blasts 'An Inside Job' 23 Aug 2009 Iraq’s foreign minister admitted yesterday the country’s own security forces may have colluded in the massive truck bombings in which nearly 100 people died. Hoshiyar Zebari also criticised Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki for removing blast walls from Baghdad’s streets, saying it was one cause of Wednesday’s two blasts at the foreign and finance ministries. "According to our information, there has even been collaboration between security officers and the murderers and killers," said Zebari.

Iraqi Who Threw Shoes at Bush to Be Released Early 29 Aug 2009 An Iraqi journalist imprisoned for hurling his shoes at former President [sic] George W.

Independent Investigation Into Pentagon Attack Yields Alarming Information 30 Aug 2009 A three year independent investigation into the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon has yielded new eyewitness evidence [an 81-minute video presentation entitled National Security Alert] which, according to the Southern California-based researchers who conducted the investigation, "conclusively (and unfortunately) establishes as a historical fact that the violence which took place in Arlington that day was not the result of a surprise attack by suicide hijackers, but rather a military black operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception."

The Destabilization of Bolivia and the “Kosovo Option”

"Global Research | The secession of Bolivia’s Eastern provinces is part of a US sponsored covert operation, coordinated out of the US State Department, in liaison with US intelligence.

The death squads armed with automatic weapons responsible for killing supporters of Evo Morales in El Porvenir are supported covertly by the US. According to one report, “USAID has an “Office of Transition Initiatives” operating in Bolivia, funneling millions of dollars of training and support to right-wing opposition regional governments and movements.”(The Center for Economic and Policy Research, September 2008). The US also provides support to various opposition groups through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).

The expelled US Ambassador Philip S. Goldberg worked under the helm of Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, who directly oversees the various “activities” of US embassies around the World. In this regard Negroponte plays a far more important role, acting behind the scenes, than Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. He is also known as one of the main architects of regime change and covert support to paramilitary death squads both in Central America and Iraq.

Philip S. Goldberg’s mandate as ambassador to Bolivia was to trigger the fracture of Bolivia as a country. Prior to his appointment as ambassador in early 2007, he served as US Chief of Mission in Pristina, Kosovo (2004-2006) and was in permanent liaison with the leaders of the KLA paramilitary, who had integrated civilian politics, following the NATO occupation of Kosovo in 1999.

Supported by the CIA, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), whose leaders now head the Kosovar government, was known for its extensive links to organized crime and the trade in narcotics. In Kosovo, Goldberg was involved in setting the stage for the subsequent secession of Kosovo from Serbia, leading to the installation of an “independent” Kosovar government.

In the course of the 1990s, Goldberg had played an active role in the break up of Yugoslavia. From 1994-1996 he was responsible for the Bosnia Desk at the State Department. He worked closely with Washington’s Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke and played a central role as Chief of Staff of the US negotiating team at Dayton, leading up to the signing of the Dayton Accords in 1995. These accords were conducive to the carving up of Bosnia-Herzegovina. More generally they triggered the destruction and destabilization of Yugoslavia as country. In 1996, Goldberg worked directly as Special Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott (1994-2000), who together with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, played a key role in launching the war on Yugoslavia in 1999.

The Central Role of John Negroponte

Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte plays a central role in the conduct of covert operations. He served as US ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985. As Ambassador in Tegucigalpa, he played a key role in supporting and supervising the Nicaraguan Contra mercenaries who were based in Honduras. The cross border Contra attacks into Nicaragua claimed some 50 000 civilian lives. During the same period, Negroponte was instrumental in setting up the Honduran military death squads, “operating with Washington support’s, [they] assassinated hundreds of opponents of the US-backed regime.” (See Bill Venn, Bush Nominee linked to Latin American Terrorism, Global Research, November 2001)

“Under the rule of General Gustavo Alvarez Martnez, Honduras’s military government was both a close ally of the Reagan administration and was “disappearing” dozens of political opponents in classic death squad fashion.

(See Peter Roff and James Chapin, Face-off: Bush’s Foreign Policy Warriors , Global Research, July 2001)

This did not prevent his nomination to the position of US Permanent Representative to the UN under the Clinton administration.

The Salvador Option

Negroponte became Ambassador to Iraq in 2004, where he set up a “security framework” for the US occupation, largely modeled on the Central American death squads. This project was referred to by several writers as the “Salvador Option”.

While in Baghdad, Negroponte hired as his Counselor on security issues, a former head of special operations in El Salvador. The two men were close colleagues going back to the 1980s in Central America. While Negroponte was busy setting up the death squads in Honduras, Colonel Steele had been in charge of the US Military Advisory Group in El Salvador, (1984-86) “where he was responsible for developing special operating forces at brigade level during the height of the conflict.”:

“These forces, composed of the most brutal soldiers available, replicated the kind of small-unit operations with which Steele was familiar from his service in Vietnam. Rather than focusing on seizing terrain, their role was to attack ‘insurgent’ leadership, their supporters, sources of supply and base camps.” (Max Fuller, For Iraq, “The Salvador Option” Becomes Reality, Global Research, June 2005)

In Iraq, Steele was “assigned to work with a new elite Iraqi counter-insurgency unit knownas the Special Police Commandos”. In this context, Negroponte’s objective was to encourage ethnic divisions and factional strife, by triggering covert terrorist attacks directed against the Iraqi civilian population.

Negroponte was appointed as the Head of the Directorate of National Intelligence in 2005, and subsequently in 2007 came to occupy the Number Two position in the State Department.

The Kosovo Option: Haiti

This is not the first time that the “Kosovo model” of supporting terrorist paramilitaries has been applied in Latin America.

In February 2003, Washington announced the appointment of James Foley as Ambassador to Haiti. Ambassadors Goldberg and Foley are part of the same “diplomatic stable”. Foley had been a State Department spokesman under the Clinton administration during the war on Kosovo. He was involved at an earlier period in channeling support to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).

Amply documented, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was financed by drug money and supported by the CIA. ( See Michel Chossudovsky, Kosovo Freedom Fighters Financed by Organized Crime, Covert Action Quarterly, 1999 )

At the time of the Kosovo war, the then ambassador to Haiti James Foley had been in charge of State Department briefings, working closely with his NATO counterpart in Brussels, Jamie Shea. Barely two months before the onslaught of the NATO led war on 24 March 1999, James Foley, had called for the “transformation” of the KLA into a respectable political organization:

“We want to develop a good relationship with them [the KLA] as they transform themselves into a politically-oriented organization,’ ..`[W]e believe that we have a lot of advice and a lot of help that we can provide to them if they become precisely the kind of political actor we would like to see them become… “If we can help them and they want us to help them in that effort of transformation, I think it’s nothing that anybody can argue with..’ (quoted in the New York Times, 2 February 1999)

In other words, Washington’s design was “regime change”: topple the Lavalas administration and install a compliant US puppet regime, integrated by the “Democratic Platform” and the self-proclaimed Front pour la libération et la reconstruction nationale (FLRN), whose leaders are former FRAPH and Tonton Macoute terrorists. (For further details see Michel Chossudovsky, The Destabilization of Haiti, Global Research, February 2004)

Following the 2004 coup d’Etat which led to the downfall of the Aristide government, KLA advisers were brought into Haiti by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to assist in the country’s reconstruction. (See Anthony Fenton, Kosovo Liberation Army helps establish “Protectorate” in Haiti, Global Research, November 2004)

Specifically, the KLA consultants were to assist in restructuring the Haitian police force, bringing into its ranks, former members of FRAPH and the Tonton Macout.

[In support of] the “Office of Transition Initiatives,” (OTI) … USAID is paying three consultants to help consult for the integration of the former brutal military into the current Haitian police force. And who are those three consultants? Those three consultants are members of the Kosovo Liberation Army.” (Flashpoints interview, November 19, 2004, www.flashpoints.net )

USAID’s “Office of Transition Initiatives” (OTI)

The Salvador/ Kosovo option is part of a US strategy to fracture and destabilize countries. The USAID sponsored OTI in Bolivia performs much the same function as a similar OTI in Haiti.

It is also worth noting that there was an Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) in Venezuela, where a plot, according to reports, was recently uncovered to allegedly assassinate President Hugo Chavez. The role of the OTI office in Venezuela is discussed in Eva Golinger’s recent book “Bush vs. Chavez.”

The stated purpose of US covert operations is to provide support as well as as training to “Liberation Armies” ultimately with a view to destabilizing sovereign governments. In Kosovo, the training of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in the 1990s had been entrusted to a private mercenary company, Military Professional Resources Inc (MPRI), on contract to the Pentagon.

Pakistan and the “Kosovo Option”

It is worth noting that in Pakistan, recent developments point towards direct forms of US military intervention, in violation of Pakistani sovereignty.

Already in 2005, a report by the US National Intelligence Council and the CIA forecast a “Yugoslav-like fate” for Pakistan “in a decade with the country riven by civil war, bloodshed and inter-provincial rivalries, as seen recently in Balochistan.” (Energy Compass, 2 March 2005).

According to a 2006 report of Pakistan’s Senate Committee on Defence, British intelligence was involved in supporting the Balochistan separatist movement. (Press Trust of India, 9 August 2006). The Bolochistan Liberation Army (BLA) bears a canny resemblance to Kosovo’s KLA, financed by the drug trade and supported by the CIA.

Washington favors the creation of a “Greater Balochistan” [similar to a Greater Albania] which would integrate the Baloch areas of Pakistan with those of Iran and possibly the Southern tip of Afghanistan, thereby leading to a process of political fracturing in both Iran and Pakistan. (Michel Chossudovsky, The Destabilization of Pakistan, December 30, 2007)

Bolivia considers UNASUR Deal Great

Inside Costa Rica - ‎2 hours ago‎
La Paz - The Bolivia Foreign Affairs Minister David Choquehuanca considered the agreement achieved at the South American Union of Nations (UNASUR) summit held in Bariloche city, Argentine, a great step forward in the area.

During a press conference Choquehuanca emphasized that the fact of rejecting the military presence that put in risk democracy and sovereignty in the sub continent is an important step achieved in the meeting of the integrationist bloc leaders.

He also stressed the need to continue fighting for turning the region into a peace zone as it is stated in the first item of the regional agreement signed by 12 Head of States.

In addition, he announced that the Security Council of the bloc that will meet next September could go deep into a regional doctrine directed to provide one of the rules of UNASUR aimed at seeking for peace in the region.

The final document of the meeting called Final Decision also rejected arms trade and drug trafficking, emphasized the diplomat.

NYTimes.com | Drilling Ordeals Said to Delay Geothermal Project

The Obama administration’s first major test of geothermal energy as a significant alternative to fossil fuels has fallen seriously behind schedule, several federal scientists said this week, even as the project is under review because of the earthquakes it could generate in Northern California.

The fracturing would be virtually guaranteed to induce earthquakes, which the company has said would be so small as to be nearly imperceptible but which local residents and some scientists fear could be larger. The project is in one of the world’s most seismically active areas.

Cave Editorial | Sunday 30August09

While I'm writing I am multi-tasking listening to Webster Tarpley's WORLD CRISIS RADIO program from yesterday.

He begins by talking about Cindy Sheehan's protest:
  • 1 day ago
    Anti-War protestor Cindy Sheehan, the so-called "Peace Mom" who rose to fame several years ago when she protested against the Iraq War outside former ...
    CBS News - 66 related articles »
President Obama is on vacation at Martha's Vineyard playing golf with a wealthy Swiss bankster Robert Wolf - the President for Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) Investment Bank. Wolf also serves as Chairman & CEO for UBS Group for the Americas. (Hedge Fund) $5 Billion has been paid by taxpayers for the survival of this Hedge Fund UBS - under AGI Bailout. Obama is flaunting not hiding this socializing with banksters ...

Cindy Sheehan commented, "While Obama is playing golf with his rich friends, 4 GI's died in Afghanistan".

Obama SAW the anti-war protest ... while flaunting his kissing up to banksters and more troops and paid mercenaries being sent to Afghanistan and our troops are getting killed for a cause that is MORE THAN QUESTIONABLE. Our nation has millions that are loosing their jobs and loosing their homes and our nation's president Obama is playing golf with foreign banksters.

NATO's attack on Afghanistan ... based on the wake of 911 ... now has current Afghanistan's casualties (August) that are approaching the WORSE phase of the Iraq war. Trapley knows his stuff.

Ruling class Wall Street news now talks about "vote fraud" and this talk is ominous in Tarpley's opinion ... representing the card of total chaos. Breakdown of central government of Afghanistan - promoting the collapse of Afghanistan and thereby our administration's hopes that collapse spills over into Pakistan (what to watch for).

The Left was blinded that Obama was a war monger during his campaign ("Butcher Barkey")... "I'm going to bomb Pakistan". Listening to Webster Tarpley is worth your time.

There is currently a famine of foundations to fund the peace movement. Obama's only other employment other than government work was with foundations. These foundations that once funded the peace movement also funded Obama - so they will not now fund the peace movement, i.e., George Soros funded Moveon.org.

SpaceWeather.com | SOLAR SURPRISE - prominence of magnificent proportions

Even during the deepest solar minimum in a century, the sun has the capacity for surprise. Larry Alvarez got one yesterday when he bent over the eyepiece of his solar telescope in Flower Mound, Texas. "I thought it would be just another day with a vanilla-wafer solar disk, but I was in for a blazing shock when I checked out the edge of the sun," he says. "There was a huge worm popping out of the apple--a prominence of magnificent proportions!" Here is what he saw:

"What a doozy," he says. "I watched the prominence for more than two hours and got some really nice shots." He's working on a video now--stay tuned for that.

Realtime images from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory indicate that the prominence remains active. Readers with solar telescopes should take a look. It's no longer a surprise, but still a doozy.

Mount Wilson

The north slope of Mount Wilson as seen from Angeles Crest Highway
Elevation 5,712 feet (1,741 m) NAVD 88 [1]
Location California, USA
Range San Gabriel Mountains
Prominence 150 ft (45 m)

Mount Wilson is one of the better known peaks in the San Gabriel Mountains, part of the Angeles National Forest in Los Angeles County, California. It is the location of the Mount Wilson Observatory and has become the astronomical center of Southern California with 60-inch (1,524 mm) and 100-inch (2,540 mm) telescopes, and 60-foot (18.3 m) and 150-foot (45.7 m) tall solar towers. The summit is at 5,710 feet (1,740 m). Some surrounding peaks are slightly higher. Due to its elevation, snow can sometimes interrupt astronomical activities on the mountain.

Mount Wilson is also referred to as a metro-media center for its relay broadcasting of radio and television for the Greater Los Angeles Area.
