Ex-C.I.A. Officer Charged in Information Leak

ISLAMABAD/PULLACH (Eigener Bericht) – Die deutsche Auslandsspionage
tarnt ihre Agenten selbst in Kriegsgebieten als Entwicklungshelfer.
Dies geht aus übereinstimmenden Berichten über die Festnahme dreier
Mitarbeiter des Bundesnachrichtendienstes (BND) im pakistanischen
Grenzgebiet zu Afghanistan am vergangenen Wochenende hervor. Demnach
gaben die drei Spione an, in der sogenannten Entwicklungspolitik tätig
zu sein, und nutzten Fahrzeuge und Visitenkarten mit dem Logo der
Deutschen Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). Die
GIZ ist – wie andere deutsche Organisationen auch – in dem Grenzgebiet
tätig, in dem der Westen einen auf erheblicher geheimdienstlicher
Unterstützung basierenden Krieg gegen Helfer der Aufständischen in
Afghanistan führt. Der BND nimmt mit seiner Tarnpraxis eine
zusätzliche Gefährdung der Entwicklungshelfer in Kauf. Im
pakistanischen Grenzgebiet zu Afghanistan ist der BND seit den 1980er
Jahren aktiv; er unterstützte dort Warlords, die bis heute am
Hindukusch Krieg führen. Die damalige BND-Tätigkeit trug auch dazu
bei, den Geheimdienst Pakistans zu stärken, der heute als eine der
maßgeblichen Kräfte im pakistanischen Establishment gilt.

“Open Society” : Georg Soros und seine Cooperation mit den kriminellen Steinmeier Banden

Wie die “Open Society” arbeitet und tief über die Georg Soros Kontakte auch tradionell im Drogen- und Waffenhandel drinnen steckt, ist über 30 Jahre gut dokumentiert worden und allgemein bekannt, was unter den diversen kriminellen Organisationen des Georg Soros, der “Open Society” abläuft!

Die “Open Society” arbeitet Weltweit hoch kriminell, vor allem durch die Bestechungs von Adminstrativen und mit Geldquellen aus dem Drogen Handel und Georg Soros und Drogen- und Waffenhandel ist schon vor Jahrzehnten dokumentiert worden. Georg Soros ist auch ein geouteter CIA Agent!

Vor wenigen Tagen wurde auch noch offiziell von Georg Soros Vertretern in Albanien geoutet, das Bill Clinton (der mir den Mafiösen Betrugs Freunden um Marc Rice und Co.) die Anweisung gab, das UN Waffen Embargo auf dem Balkan zu brechen und in den Kosovo Waffen zu liefern.

Warum Georg Soros und der CIA eine Offene Gesellschaft „Open Society“ wünschen, um Staaten zu destabilisieren. …….2001 setzte sich Al Gore dafür ein, daß Rich in den letzten Stunden der Clinton-Präsidentschaft eine Begnadigung erhielt. Bei späteren Aussagen vor dem Kongreß gab Libby zu, daß er die Begnadigung für Rich durch seine Kontakte zu Gores früherem Stabschef Jack Quinn
(sowie über zwei frühere Mossad-Agenten im Dienste von Rich) erreichte.

Organizations Funded Directly by George Soros and his Open Society Institute

By Discover The Networks

Organizations that, in recent years, have received direct funding and assistance from George Soros and his Open Society Institute (OSI) include the following. (Comprehensive profiles of each are available in the „Groups“ section of DiscoverTheNetworks.org):

• Advancement Project: This organization works to organize „communities of color“ into politically cohesive units while disseminating its leftist worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department.
• Air America Radio: Now defunct, this was a self-identified „liberal“ radio network.
• All of Us or None: This organization seeks to change voting laws — which vary from state to state — so as to allow ex-inmates, parolees, and even current inmates to cast their ballots in political elections.
• Alliance for Justice: Best known for its activism vis a vis the appointment of federal judges, this group consistently depicts Republican judicial nominees as “extremists.“
• America Coming Together: Soros played a major role in creating this group, whose purpose was to coordinate and organize pro-Democrat voter-mobilization programs.
• America Votes: Soros also played a major role in creating this group, whose get-out-the-vote campaigns targeted likely Democratic voters.
• America’s Voice: This open-borders group seeks to promote “comprehensive” immigration reform that includes a robust agenda in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens.
• American Bar Association Commission on Immigration Policy: This organization „opposes laws that require employers and persons providing education, health care, or other social services to verify citizenship or immigration status.“
• American Civil Liberties Union: This group opposes virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by the U.S. government. It supports open borders, has rushed to the defense of suspected terrorists and their abettors, and appointed former New Left terrorist Bernardine Dohrn to its Advisory Board.
• American Constitution Society for Law and Policy: This Washington, DC-based think tank seeks to move American jurisprudence to the left by recruiting, indoctrinating, and mobilizing young law students, helping them acquire positions of power. It also provides leftist Democrats with a bully pulpit from which to denounce their political adversaries.
• American Family Voices: This group creates and coordinates media campaigns charging Republicans with wrongdoing.
• American Federation of Teachers: After longtime AFT President Albert Shanker died in in 1997, he was succeeded by Sandra Feldman, who slowly “re-branded” the union, allying it with some of the most powerful left-wing elements of the New Labor Movement. When Feldman died in 2004, Edward McElroy took her place, followed by Randi Weingarten in 2008. All of them kept the union on the leftward course it had adopted in its post-Shanker period.
• American Friends Service Committee: This group views the United States as the principal cause of human suffering around the world. As such, it favors America’s unilateral disarmament, the dissolution of American borders, amnesty for illegal aliens, the abolition of the death penalty, and the repeal of the Patriot Act.
• American Immigration Council: This non-profit organization is a prominent member of the open-borders lobby. It advocates expanded rights and amnesty for illegal aliens residing in the U.S.
• American Immigration Law Foundation: This group supports amnesty for illegal aliens, on whose behalf it litigates against the U.S. government.
• American Institute for Social Justice: AISJ’s goal is to produce skilled community organizers who can “transform poor communities” by agitating for increased government spending on city services, drug interdiction, crime prevention, housing, public-sector jobs, access to healthcare, and public schools.
• American Library Association: This group has been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration’s War on Terror — most particularly, Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, which it calls „a present danger to the constitutional rights and privacy rights of library users.“
• The American Prospect, Inc.: This corporation trains and mentors young leftwing journalists, and organizes strategy meetings for leftist leaders.
• Amnesty International: This organization directs a grossly disproportionate share of its criticism for human rights violations at the United States and Israel.
• Applied Research Center: Viewing the United States as a nation where “structural racism” is deeply “embedded in the fabric of society,” ARC seeks to „build a fair and equal society“ by demanding “concrete change from our most powerful institutions.“
• Arab American Institute Foundation: The Arab American Institute denounces the purportedly widespread civil liberties violations directed against Arab Americans in the post-9/11 period, and characterizes Israel as a brutal oppressor of the Palestinian people.
• Aspen Institute: This organization promotes radical environmentalism and views America as a nation plagued by deep-seated “structural racism.”
• Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now: This group conducts voter mobilization drives on behalf of leftist Democrats. These initiatives have been notoriously marred by fraud and corruption.
• Bill of Rights Defense Committee: This group provides a detailed blueprint for activists interested in getting their local towns, cities, and even college campuses to publicly declare their opposition to the Patriot Act, and to designate themselves „Civil Liberties Safe Zones.“ The organization also came to the defense of self-described radical attorney Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 of providing material support for terrorism.
• Black Alliance for Just Immigration: This organization seeks to create a unified movement for “social and economic justice” centered on black racial identity.
• Brennan Center for Justice: This think tank/legal activist group generates scholarly studies, mounts media campaigns, files amicus briefs, gives pro bono support to activists, and litigates test cases in pursuit of radical „change.“
• Brookings Institution: This organization has been involved with a variety of internationalist and state-sponsored programs, including one that aspires to facilitate the establishment of a U.N.-dominated world government. Brookings Fellows have also called for additional global collaboration on trade and banking; the expansion of the Kyoto Protocol; and nationalized health insurance for children. Nine Brookings economists signed a petitionopposing President Bush’s tax cuts in 2003.
• Campaign for America’s Future: This group supports tax hikes, socialized medicine, and a dramatic expansion of social welfare programs.
• Campaign for Better Health Care: This organization favors a single-payer, government-run, universal health care system.
• Campaign for Youth Justice: This organization contends that “transferring juveniles to the adult criminal-justice system leads to higher rates of recidivism, puts incarcerated and detained youth at unnecessary risk, has little deterrence value, and does not increase public safety.”
• Campus Progress: A project of the Soros-bankrolled Center for American Progress, this group seeks to „strengthen progressive voices on college and university campuses, counter the growing influence of right-wing groups on campus, and empower new generations of progressive leaders.“
• Casa de Maryland: This organization aggressively lobbies legislators to vote in favor of policies that promote expanded rights, including amnesty, for illegal aliens currently residing in the United States.
• Catalist: This is a for-profit political consultancy that seeks „to help progressive organizations realize measurable increases in civic participation and electoral success by building and operating a robust national voter database of every voting-age American.“
• Catholics for Choice: This nominally Catholic organization supports women’s right to abortion-on-demand.
• Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good: This political nonprofit group is dedicated to generating support from the Catholic community for leftwing candidates, causes, and legislation.
• Center for American Progress: This leftist think tank is headed by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta, works closely with Hillary Clinton, and employs numerous former Clinton administration staffers. It is committed to „developing a long-term vision of a progressive America“ and „providing a forum to generate new progressive ideas and policy proposals.“
• Center for Community Change: This group recruits and trains activists to spearhead leftist „political issue campaigns.“ Promoting increased funding for social welfare programs by bringing „attention to major national issues related to poverty,“ the Center bases its training programs on the techniques taught by the famed radical organizer Saul Alinsky.
• Center for Constitutional Rights: This pro-Castro organization is a core member of the open borders lobby, has opposed virtually all post-9/11 anti-terrorism measures by the U.S. government, and alleges that American injustice provokes acts of international terrorism.
• Center for Economic and Policy Research: This group opposed welfare reform, supports „living wage“ laws, rejects tax cuts, and consistently lauds the professed achievements of socialist regimes, most notably Venezuela.
• Center for Reproductive Rights: CRR’s mission is to guarantee safe, affordable contraception and abortion-on-demand for all women, including adolescents. The organization has filed state and federal lawsuits demanding access to taxpayer-funded abortions (through Medicaid) for low-income women.
• Center for Responsible Lending: This organization was a major player in the subprime mortgage crisis. According to Phil Kerpen (vice president for policy at Americans for Prosperity), CRL “sh[ook] down and harass[ed] banks into making bad loans to unqualified borrowers.” Moreover, CRL negotiated a contract enabling it to operate as a conduit of high-risk loans to Fannie Mae.
• Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: Reasoning from the premise that tax cuts generally help only the wealthy, this organization advocates greater tax expenditures on social welfare programs for low earners.
• Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS): Aiming to redistribute wealth by way of higher taxes imposed on those whose incomes are above average, COWS contends that „it is important that state government be able to harness fair contribution from all parts of society – including corporations and the wealthy.“

Der Kriegsreporter des staatlichen Fernsehsenders France 2, Gilles Jacquier, wurde am 11. Januar 2012 im syrischen Homs getötet. In Übereinstimmung mit allem, was sich bisher zu dem Ereignis im Netz finden läßt, berichtete auch die Frankfurter Allgemeine am nächsten Tag, dem 12. Januar 2012:

Zusammen mit einer Gruppe von Kollegen befand sich Jacquier auf Einladung der Regierung im Land. In Homs wurden sie völlig unerwartet mit Mörsergranaten beschossen. Mehrere Journalisten und Fotografen wurden verletzt, Jacquier und acht Syrer kamen ums Leben. Sie befanden sich in einem Quartier, das dem Diktator ergeben ist und von seinen Truppen kontrolliert wird.

Die Umstände legen nahe, daß Feinde der Regierung die Granaten abgeschossen haben. Le Figaro war schneller als die FAZ und berichtete schon am Tag der Tat, dem 11. Januar 2011, was Mohammed Ballout, Sonderreporter des BBC in arabischer Sprache vor Ort außerdem an Einzelheiten herausgefunden hatte:

Vor dem Krankenhaus in Zahira, einem Ortsteil von Homs, hätten Assad-Anhänger Parolen gerufen, als ein Geschoß aus einer RPG, einem Granatwerfer zur Panzerabwehr, der von Hand abgefeuert werden kann, in die Menge flog, acht Assad-Anhänger tötete und Umstehende verletzte. Jacqiers Besuchergruppe sei herangeeilt, um zu sehen, was passiert war. Da sei ein zweites Geschoß in die Richtung geflogen und habe auch Gilles Jacquier getötet. Das Viertel Zahira, so der BBC-Reporter Mohammed Ballout, sei eine Bastion der Allewiten, der Minderheit in Syrien, die zur Zeit das Land beherrscht. In diesem Viertel, schon mehrfach Zielscheibe von Aufständischen, gebe es oft Schüsse von Scharfschützen aus dem aufständischen Lager.

… devant l’hôpital de Zahira, un attroupement s’est formé de militants pro-Assad qui ont commencé à scander des slogans favorables au régime. Soudain, une roquette RPG a frappé la foule. Huit activistes pro-Bachar ont été tués sur le coup, il y a eu des blessés également.

Les journalistes du groupe de Jacquier sont accourus pour voir ce qui se passait. À ce moment-là, un deuxième RPG a été tiré dans leur direction. Gilles Jacquier est mort sur le coup. Un journaliste de la radio flamande VRT a été blessé à la tête. Le caméraman de France 2 n’a pas été blessé. L’attaque s’est passée dans la rue.

Zahira est un bastion alaouite qui a été visé plusieurs fois dans le passé par les manifestants. Dans ce quartier, il y a souvent des tirs de snipers de la part des manifestants.

[Englische Übersetzung des französischen Originals vom 12. Januar 2012 bei Michael Weiss, The Telegraph]

Da diese Einzelheiten zeitnah berichtet und von drei NATO-nahen, also eher Assad-feindlichen Organen kolportiert wurden, kann ich, von Hamburg aus, nur zu dem Schluß kommen: Assad-Gegner haben den France-2-Reporter Gilles Jacquier ermordet.

Doch was macht die Frankfurter Allgemeine aus den Informationen, die auch ihr zur Verfügung standen? Jürgen Altwegg bekundet:

In Syrien umgekommener Reporter

Tod im Hinterhalt

12.01.2012 · Frankreich trauert um den Reporter Gilles Jacquier. Er war vermutlich in eine Falle geraten. Das syrische Regime gerät nun in harsche Kritik von Jacquiers Kollegen – und unter Mordverdacht

Von Jürg Altwegg, Genf

Und was hat er als Belege für seine Vermutung zur Hand? Dies:

… Im französischen Rundfunk erklärte ein Reporter, die Gruppe sei womöglich von regimetreuen Soldaten gezielt unter Beschuss genommen worden. Denn danach habe es keinerlei Zwischenfälle gegeben: „Vielleicht war es ein Hinterhalt.“ Verdächtig schnell seien die syrischen Medien präsent gewesen, die alles filmten – und umgehend als Anschlag von Terroristen bezeichneten. Jacquier wurde in ein christliches Krankenhaus gebracht. Seine Kollegen mussten die Syrer daran hindern, sich vor dem Eintreffen des Botschafters der Leiche zu bemächtigen. Die französische Regierung und „Reporter ohne Grenzen“ (1) verlangen von der Regierung in Damaskus eine Untersuchung. „Von einer Manipulation zu sprechen scheint mir zumindest verfrüht“, erklärte am Donnerstagnachmittag der Programmdirektor von France 2.

Jürgen Altwegg kommt nicht, wie ich, von Hamburg, sondern von Genf aus zu dem Schluß, die syrische Regierung sei des Mords an Gilles Jacquier verdächtig. Was, zum Teufel, ist anders am Standort Genf als am Standort Hamburg?

Na, am geographischen Standort wird’s wohl nicht liegen.

Iran Captive Amir Hekmati:
Intelligence Analyst for Six3 Systems in 2011
by John Stanton
[This is an update to Iran Should Release Amir Hekmati: A Hapless Product of the US Army’s Human Terrain System]
Amir Hekmati is currently on death row in Iran for allegedly spying for the United States of America. In addition to being a former member of the US Army’s Human Terrain System—and trained as a cultural intelligence collector– he was most recently a former employee of Six3 Systems located in McLean, Virginia. His title with the company was Intelligence Analyst with a US Army contract expiration date of 9/23/2011 and a government contactor ID that was set to expire in November 2011. At one point earlier, Hekmati owned a company called Lucid Linguistics whose purpose was to improve the US military’s ability to communicate in the Middle East.
All of which makes the focus on his links to KUMA LLC video games rather absurd as a lead story pushed by many media outlets around the world.
Six3 Systems is a portfolio company held by GTCR, a private equity company, which does have a former high level CIA employee in its leadership ranks (see below). The GTCR description of Six3 Systems is as follows: “Six3 Systems is a high-end national security and defense intelligence services provider focused on developing and acquiring specialized capabilities that cater to the security intelligence community, Department of Defense and civilian security agencies. This national security and defense company is primarily focused on opportunities involving biometrics security, advanced data interpretation and analysis, cyber security and security intelligence / counterintelligence operations, training and support.”
The CEO of the company is Robert Coleman. His experience includes “…his tenure at the White House National Security Council Crisis Management Center during the Reagan and Bush I administrations, where he developed systems to assist in the collection and dissemination of critical intelligence data. He has additional experience supporting national security efforts while working for SAIC and Raytheon Technical Services.” The Vice President for Business Development is Ryan Wagener who is a former CACI employee. He “…leads all activities associated with pursuing and winning new business in the Intelligence, Defense, and Civilian markets…Wagener brings 16 years of experience in the intelligence and national security federal contracting community.”
Six3 Systems biometrics guru is Mike Zembrzuski. He is “a former commander of the Army’s premier counterintelligence battalion in CONUS, Mike led the Army effort to integrate missions with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces. He is an acknowledged expert in the areas of homeland security and technology protection and has extensive experience at the highest levels of the U.S. Government. His overseas experience is remarkable, with deployments to Afghanistan, Bosnia, Croatia, Guantanamo, and Iraq, along with service throughout Europe.”
Tom Ladd, executive vice president for ISR is the “former CEO of BIT Systems, a leading provider of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Software development solutions to the Intelligence Community and DoD. As one of the three founders of BITS, Mr. Ladd was responsible for the day to day running of BITS including hiring, new business efforts, human resources, accounting, and contracts. Mr. Ladd began his career at CIA as a technical weapon’s analyst. He spent three years supporting weapons inspections and finished his career at CIA as the Branch Chief for the Missile Systems Branch, responsible for the assessment of foreign ballistic and cruise missile capabilities.”

Iran Should Release Amir Hekmati:
A Hapless Product of US Army’s Human Terrain System
by John Stanton
“The poor guy,” said a source.
Nathan Hodge writing for the Wall Street Journal has confirmed that Amir Hekmati worked for BAE System’s as a member of the US Army’s Human Terrain System. “An industry official familiar with his civilian contracting work said he was involved in training for the Human Terrain System, a U.S. Army program to provide cultural advice to military units, before went to work for the Army,” Hodge writes. “Troy Rolan, an Army spokesman, confirmed Mr. Hekmati’s employment there, and said he left the Army in June 2011.
This is disturbing news indeed.
Human Terrain System program manager Colonel Sharon Hamilton announced in public at a Special Operations conference before the 2011 holidays that the Human Terrain System (HTS), Version 2.0, is now officially an intelligence collection activity.  According to some, this leads back to the murky intelligence activities of a former HTS employee named Stephen James “Banger” Lang.
In a recent video, Hamilton discusses HTS 2.0 pointing out that the Office of the Secretary of Defense/Intelligence gave marching orders to HTS leadership to figure out how HTS can evolve to support Special Operations Village Stability Operations, and work other Human Terrain projects within the Pentagon’s Geographic Combatant Commands. The “power of HTS”, she points out in the video, is the ability to determine the how’s and why’s of indigenous populations and feed that information to commanders before negotiation, invasion and occupation. The wording Hamilton uses is interesting as such information, going forward, would have to be gathered covertly, one assumes.
If HTS is going to support USSOCOM, which is not confined to one continent, then the classification level of program participants would have to rise beyond the “secret” level. And in fact, that is happening as CGI/Oberon Associates, now in possession of $227 million (US) to run the program, brings in a bundle of new contractors in the form of sub-primes or individual contractors.
The history of HTS is, quite simply, grotesque and an embarrassment to the US military and the men and women who tried, but failed, to get the program to work. It has been a disaster for Civil Affairs as millions have been burned to make HTS work that should have gone to Civil Affairs units at Fort Bragg and elsewhere.  For years critics of the program—the most vociferous from within HTS—argued that HTS always was an intelligence program run out of US Army TRADOC, G2. There are some 70 articles written over a three year period that report on the program’s failings, deaths, inadequate recruiting and training, allegations of fraud, waste and abuse, murder, hostages, sexual harassment, and more. Those pieces also offer recommendations for improvement. Numerous investigations run by the DOD-IG, the US Army CID, and the US Congress Office of Special Counsel have been conducted on HTS 1.0.
If the Iranians new how screwed up HTS 1.0 was and the inadequate training Hekmati received they would set him free. He is the product of damaged US Army and Pentagon leadership. Give the poor guy a break.
