Maybe everybody at the DNI and DHS who have been pimping the
“share by rule, withhold by exception,” concept for the last nine years
will change their tune a little, and acknowledge that “need to know” is
still a valuable idea.

Like Assange expected.

a firm designed to look into corporate and government programs that could involve white collar crime and compliance issues.

Uh huh. Wonder where those contracts are coming from now.

Yee haw!!! Go get ‘em!!

This makes me wonder how Jim Casey is any different than Bradly Manning or how Stratfor is different from Wikileaks. Ah, Stratfor serves the 1%, while Wikileaks was serving the 99%.
If Obama wants to get rid of whistle blowers, he needs to start with the Jim Casey types. Casey needs to spend a year in isolation, like Bradly Manning. We need equal justice under the law.

Jane, you’re the bomb! Love it!

Good luck with that one. There will be no justice under The Rule of the Robber Barons 2.0.

We need Grover Cleveland 2.0 to end The Crime Syndicate.

Jane, are you sure you won’t run for Senate?? It would be so much fun to watch you document the daily nonsense of the Senate from an insiders’ perspective.

You are awesome. Great research. Great story.

So Jim Casey isn’t spending more time with his family.

Silly. Manning/wikileaks are on the wrong side. Stratfor/Casey are on the right side.

He’s been planning it all along.

yeah… all along… ever since Anonymous tweeted “rats for donovan.”

Any idea… who is donovan? It would be delicious, if Wikileaks eventually highlights a Donovan in the USG who is central to Stratfor intel.

One interesting, obvious takeaway is that a good amount of Stratfor intel was definitely reliable.

“Strapping on a big ‘ol one”? I think that about says it all. These people are sociopaths.

Better if Jane rescued some dolphins from the Navy and they could help her intercept these and other emails and cables in real time.

Way off topic:

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart dies in LA.

… and extreme fetishists

I’ve no idea of the context, but Donovan headed the OSS and recruited the forefathers of CIA.

He is now…

THAT Donovan. Ya mean Wild Bill! Back in the days when real men read each other’s mail.

Or inside-the-agency scuttlebutt

LOL! I wouldn’t wish the Senate on my worst enemy.

This would all be very funny if it weren’t so tragic.

Reading a book on 3 golden ages: Renaissance Italy, Elizabethan England, early U.S. Just about finished with the second. Have grave doubts about the third. But what strikes me is that the U.S. has fallen so low, it doesn’t even have satirists good enough to mock it. Stewart/Colbert are the best U.S. has to offer.

On edit, link added: Link

Obama sez:

My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government.

What he doesn’t say: the unprecedented level is verrrrrrrry low.

Ya got that right. The viagara club of intellectually disabled.

Apparently Anonymous tweeted the files to Wikileaks on Dec 31. “Rats for Donovan” was the message to which the files were attached.

I read something about that this week. Anonymous was asked how / when they transferred the files. The only response was a vague non-response mentioning that tweet.

See eCAHNomics wikilink @ 16, who knows.

I have read sooo many books about the CIA, I feel I know these guys personally.

In both Renaissance Italy and Elizabethan England, the satirists were also the leading edge of the next paradigm. Our collapse is not to that point yet. And also, the satirists were supported by the next 1%. I don’t think that Viacom and MTV qualify as being the next 1%.

So we are to conclude that the Special Agent in Charge of the Jacksonville FBI office was in the loop for a secret grand jury and indictment whose jurisdiction was supposedly Virginia. And that that is reliable information.

If true that means that FBI SAIC’s don’t know that loose lips sink ships.

Sic transit gloria Richard Prior/Bill Hicks/George Carlin.

The other night I watched The Leopard (Sicily and the 1860 Garibaldi wars), Burt Lancaster is of the old nobility, he has two telescopes in his library, a Jesuit priest ministers to his family, is always at the estate, always sweaty and sniffling, always employing his hanky. In one scene (the priest and Prince Burt are disputing about Confession and faith), Burt ends the dispute and walks over to his window to survey all he is master over, the priest has lost, he takes out his hanky and burnishes part of the telescope with unconscious care. Oy, a very long movie in badly dubbed Italian w/ hard-to-read subtitles, but I have to watch it again. And a third time to listen to Nino Rota’s score.

Did you see The Good Shepherd?

Very interesting. The author, Mapp, of whom I know nothing, clearly has an agenda. I picked up the book years ago from a discount table at Colonial Williamsburg gift shop. I picked it up to read about a week ago bc I needed a break from current scene in U.S. Mapp does not say Word One about what followed those Golden Ages.

I wrote about Dutch Golden Age in context of “new economy” of U.S. in middle of 1999 (pooh bah diktat) and noted that if you fly into Schiphol at night you can still see miles of lighted green houses growing tulips. I randomly wondered what would be left of the dot-com U.S. in 300 years. :-)

No. Do tell.

Probably relates. But considering it’s Anonymous, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a double entendre… and we find a modern day Donovan too!

As for Casey, reading this story makes me think it’s likely that the story on al-Aliki was not directly whispered by the WH to the MSM. They probably ran stuff like that thru the “intel/MSM” wing of the Crime Syndicate. The POTUS didn’t want anyone to know about his assassination list. So keeping their fingerprints off that stuff was probably paramount to them in the days before it was discovered (was it Greenwald who outed it?).

And if someone was approved for dishing intel… it’s entirely possible that they dish unapproved intel. And then what to do with them now? If they get investigated, it’s a circus and they could turn state’s evidence… and then the Crime Syndicate has to worry about how to avoid everything blowing up… easiest to retire… and probably be given a wink and a nod that they’ll be “widely respected” when they join the intel/msm crew.

Do we know if he was SAIC in Jacksonville a year ago? Transfer possible?

George Carlin’s mother was a Mad Ave pooh bah. Dinner table conversation was obsessed with how you sell bad stuff to unsuspecting know-nothings. It’s what gave Carlin his intimate knowledge from which his satire stemmed. A life lost too early. I’ll have to think about that more.

FBI – James Casey – Special Agent in Charge

James Casey, a 23-year veteran of the FBI, is the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Jacksonville Field Office.

Mr. Casey entered on duty as a special agent of the FBI in 1987. Upon completion of training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, he was assigned to the Detroit Field Office, where he primarily worked international terrorism and undercover investigations. In 1995, he was promoted to a supervisory special agent position in the Counterterrorism Division at FBI Headquarters. In that role, Mr. Casey assisted with response to incidents such as the Oklahoma City bombing and the explosion of TWA 800.

In late 1997, Mr. Casey was assigned to the Indianapolis Field Office as the counterterrorism and counterintelligence supervisor. Immediately after 9/11, he returned to FBI Headquarters to assist with increasing the capacity of the Counterterrorism Division. He also traveled to the FBI’s legal attaché in Manila to assist with leads related to 9/11 and al Qaeda.

In 2002, he was named assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Cincinnati Field Office and served as acting special agent in charge for six months during his tenure there. In 2004 and 2005, he was assigned as a Director of Intelligence Programs on the National Security Council at the White House, where he focused on intelligence community reform and the development of the Bush Administration’s response to the 9/11 Commission and WMD Commission reports. Thereafter, Mr. Casey served as section chief of the Counterintelligence Division’s Eurasian Section at FBI Headquarters, until his appointment as Jacksonville Special Agent in Charge in 2008.

Mr. Casey holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia; a Master of Arts Degree in Criminology from Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana; and a graduate diploma in International Relations from the University of London. Prior to joining the FBI, he served as a police officer in Arlington, Virginia and worked for the U.S. Department of State.

He and his wife of more than 25 years have four children.

No, it tells itself, about Wild Bill’s (Di Niro) OSS recruiting and the James Jesus Angleton (Matt Damon) chief in OSS then CIA, United Fruit thru Bay of Pigs. Buy it or rent a stream version for your PC. Very dense, one viewing is insufficient, but a movie not worth seeing twice ain’t worth seeing once.

I worked closely with retired FBI agents, also with strong academic cred, and with retired Treasury Agents (basically the same kind of guys with the same bosses). They are highly skilled in subterfuge and with the ability to refute factual information. Many are employed to contain information, which is one important reason it’s a felony to give them false information when they ask for any: they want to know everything you know.

What Angleton webs we weave, once we practice to deceive.

where he focused on intelligence community reform

Well that’s comforting.

Just why have USG state secrets become fair trade income for spooks?
Retirement benefits?
They are doing what wikileaks does. And there is plenty of money for insider information. Thousands of corporations and 196 countries in the world who can pay.

I particularly love the ‘special’ agent designation. I would like to know what a not-special-FBI-agent is. Sounds just like grade inflation to me.

Also, self-mockery that they can’t self-perceive. Like every photo of a pooh bah is an editorial statement. Classic might be shah’s photo on cover of Time right before his ouster. Pompous as shit. Military medals out the wazoo. Petraeus’ testimony in full military regalia with ribbons down to his crotch, seemed reminiscent.

The great and unique thing about movies is that you can ‘say’ stuff that’s libel and censor proof — as long as the shooting script doesn’t spell out the visual shot.

I just love rhetorical Qs.

I suppose so. I personally find the books more informative, but that’s just the pedantic, pop culture moron me.

You don’t recall in The Caine Mutiny when E.G. Marshall asks Lee Marvin about his campaign chevrons?

Sorry for the OT, but I can’t help myself.

No Shit, Dick Tracy?!?!

No idea if it’s reliable information, but everyone knew about the Wikileaks grand jury. I was there when they questioned David House.

But Burton clearly thought Casey was in the Wikileaks loop when he sent the email asking what the next releases would include. It’s also quite possible that Casey was just talking shit.

Thru a glass dimly.

Geez, AitchD, you might edumacate me into moviez, and then where will I be? Exec decision about whether to read a book or watch a movie? How would my soul ever survive? :-)

Best belly laugh of the night. Thanks.

They are doing what wikileaks does. And there is plenty of money for insider information. Thousands of corporations and 196 countries in the world who can pay.

You’re so right. They’re just trying to cut out the competition.

Thru a glass dimly.

Evidently you recall well when Jose Ferrer toasted Fred MacMurray at the end, tossing the champagne in his face. Pity there’s no Oscar for sneering, Jose was the best.

Delete by waynec

Nope. That is not in my memory bank, even dimly.

Watch Casablanca again, you know, the greatest movie ever made by, for, and about The Greatest Generation, and notice how every scene, every action is filled with deception, is about deception.

x2

You musta walked out or switched it off after the verdict and exoneration. That scene is the epilogue.

That’s just plain disgusting…

This is impressive. This is huge. All the people who follow my work are saying, “Wow,” to me on Twitter.

I kinda sat there shaking my head when I pulled up the Times-Union article and went, “seriously? February 29? Are you shitting me?’

How about the House? Move up here. Run against Don Young.

Does anyone know the process for opening a grand jury? Can citizens force / encourage the creation of a grand jury?… either at the federal or state level?

J. Edgar Hoover was a marketing genius re the FBI. It is grade inflation before the term was invented.
