Whistle-Blower, Beware

SHOULD it be a crime to report a crime? Many top officials in Washington seem to think so, at least in the case of Edward Snowden.

June 6 will be the third anniversary of The Guardian’s publication of top-secret documents provided by Mr. Snowden that showed that the National Security Agency was collecting the telephone records of tens of millions of Americans.

Outraged by this assault on the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition of unreasonable search and seizure, Tea Party Republicans and progressive Democrats joined to block reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act’s surveillance provisions last year. Only after the N.S.A. was required to obtain warrants to examine such records was reauthorization approved.

But Mr. Snowden, the whistle-blower who set this reform in motion with his disclosures, is persona non grata in the nation’s capital. Democrats and Republicans alike have denounced him as a traitor.

Accusations that Pentagon retaliated against a whistleblower undermine argument that there were options for Snowden other than leaking to the media.

Edward Snowden has called for a complete overhaul of US whistleblower protections after a new source from deep inside the Pentagon came forward with a startling account of how the system became a “trap” for those seeking to expose wrongdoing.

The account of John Crane, a former senior Pentagon investigator, appears to undermine Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other major establishment figures who argue that there were established routes for Snowden other than leaking to the media.

Crane, a longtime assistant inspector general at the Pentagon, has accused his old office of retaliating against a major surveillance whistleblower, Thomas Drake, in an episode that helps explain Snowden’s 2013 National Security Agency disclosures. Not only did Pentagon officials provide Drake’s name to criminal investigators, Crane told the Guardian, they destroyed documents relevant to his defence.

Bradley Birkenfeld is the most significant financial whistleblower of all time, so you might think he'd be cheering on the disclosures in the new Panama Papers leaks. But today, Birkenfeld is raising questions about the source of the information that is shaking political regimes around the world.

Birkenfeld, an American citizen, was a banker working at UBS in Switzerland when he approached the U.S. government with information on massive amounts of tax evasion by Americans with secret accounts in Switzerland. By the end of his whistleblowing career, Birkenfeld had served more than two years in a U.S. federal prison, been awarded $104 million by the IRS for his information and shattered the foundations of more than a century of Swiss banking secrecy.

WikiLeaks founder drops 'mass spying' hint

Vatic Note: Here is my concern. ABC is a neocon owned MSM, in addition, Mossad and CIA assassination squads have not missed those they were instructed to eliminate who were a danger to the system. Add to that, the level of leaks and information dispensed by Wikileaks is not at the level it should be for an organization such as this to fear for their very lives. Don't take my word for it, visit the site and see for yourself. Then let me know what you think? I am beginning to simply wonder about this whole thing. Is this a way for the CIA to identify leakers???

Is this a scam as we reported such suspicions and rumors much earlier way back? Remember we had published speculation way back that this group was part of a CIA sting to do exactly that and we counseled then to keep an eye open and observe what happens and see if there is additional actions that might confirm such possibilities before deciding, and this case alone is what makes us question the veracity of this group. I saw the "big video" they released and all it showed was what we already knew as reported by Reuters.  Yes, it was condemning on those that did it, but not on those that ordered it done or who control the system.  So what was the big deal??? 

Think about it for moment. Manning, the whistleblower, believes he has provided massive important documentation (260,000 documents of great import sufficient to be arrested by the Pentagon) to Wikileaks, He gets arrested and WE GET NONE OF THOSE DOCUMENTS RELEASED? So, who is working for who??? Just a question. Anyone elses thoughts are more than welcome on this very disturbing issue. Also, the whistleblower is caught because he bragged to a stranger on the net??? I don't think so since he knew the penalty for doing so and he also knew the net was being monitored and also could assume he was being monitored as well, so why would he do that, but then, who knows. Its just too strange to take at face value for us, but others are welcome to add to the discussion.


WikiLeaks founder drops 'mass spying' hint

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange. (Colbert Report)

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has given his strongest indication yet about the next big leak from his whistleblower organisation.

There has been rampant speculation about WikiLeaks' next revelation following its recent release of a top secret military video showing an attack in Baghdad which killed more than a dozen people, including two employees of the Reuters news agency.

Bradley Manning, a US military intelligence officer based in Iraq, has been arrested on suspicion of leaking the video but it is also claimed that Manning bragged online that he had handed WikiLeaks 260,000 secret US State Department cables.

In an interview with the ABC's Foreign Correspondent, Mr Assange said cryptically of WikiLeaks' current project:

"I can give an analogy. If there had been mass spying that had affected many, many people and organisations and the details of that mass spying were released then that is something that would reveal that the interests of many people had been abused."

He agreed it would be of the "calibre" of publishing information about the way the top secret Echelon system - the US-UK electronic spying network which eavesdrops on worldwide communications traffic - had been used.

Mr Assange also confirmed that WikiLeaks has a copy of a video showing a US military bombing of a western Afghan township which killed dozens of people, including children.

He noted, though, it was a very intricate case "substantially more complex" than the Iraq material WikiLeaks had released - referring to the gunship video.

European news media are reporting that Mr Assange has "surfaced from almost a month in hiding", speaking at a freedom of information seminar at the European parliament in Brussels.

But during the course of the past month, Mr Assange has been talking to Foreign Correspondent for a program examining the efficacy of the WikiLeaks model.

"What we want to create is a system where there is guaranteed free press across the world, the entire world, that every individual in the world has the ability to publish materials that is meaningful," he said.

Whistleblower speaks

The program has also spoken directly to former computer hacker Adrian Lamo who blew the whistle on Bradley Manning after a boastful online discussion in which Lamo alleges the military intelligence adviser revealed himself as a significant WikiLeaks source.

"He proceeded to identify himself as an intelligence analyst and pose the question: What would you do if you have unprecedented access to classified data 14 hours a day seven days a week?" Mr Lamo said.

"He (Manning) was firing bullets into the air without thought to consequence of where they might land or who they might hit."

WikiLeaks has built an information repository it thinks is foolproof. Instead of secret documents physically changing hands, they are anonymously sent to digital drop boxes and stored on servers around the world. Finally, they are posted on the WikiLeaks site.

During Foreign Correspondent's assignment Mr Assange had been preparing to fly to New York to meet his hero - Daniel Ellsberg - the former US military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers which amounted to a devastating expose of the Vietnam War.

Instead, concerned about travelling in the US and attracting the interest of authorities, he used Skype to speak to the conference.

He told the crowd: "Leaking is inherently an anti-authoritarian act. It's inherently an anarchist act."

Mr Assange has been quoted as saying he feels perfectly safe in Europe, "but I have been advised by my lawyers not to travel to the US during this period".

Daniel Ellsberg, named by Henry Kissinger as "the most dangerous man in America", told Foreign Correspondent that Mr Assange was "a good candidate for being the most dangerous man in the world, in the eyes of people like the one who gave me that award".

"I'm sure that Assange is now regarded as one of the very most dangerous men and he should be quite proud of that."

Truth or Dare, Foreign Correspondent's examination of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, airs tonight at 8PM on ABC 1

Majestic 12 - William Cooper - (Rothschild power) Part 2A - Bio, Rev, & Death

Vatic Note: This Biography is Part 2A1 & 2A2 will be his death. The first part (1)dealt with the Rothschilds from early days and the formation of the 13 families through present day today. It lays a foundation that at the time Wm Cooper was around and writing and researching, the average American knew nothing of these people and eventually as others came to know the truth, then the counter propoganda began by calling all those who knew the truth "conspiracy nuts" or "tin foil hat" brigade. Well, we still have many that do not see the big picture yet, but the sheep are waking up, they just don't have the entire picture together. In many cases there are factions who say, "its the israeli's", others who say "Its the catholic church", and yet others who say its the "thirteen Illuminati families", and finally those who say "Its the Rothschilds". What is ironic is, its all of them with varying agenda's and many derived from each other, such as the families derived from the Rothschilds who brought them together for this purpose in the 1700's.

Why did we include Cooper in this presentation? Becuase of all those who wrote about it, he was the one who most scared the elite because of the accuracy of his writings and speaking engagements etc. He was such a threat that they finally had him killed. Further, another reason is THE GAME IS NOT OVER YET AND BILL HAS BEEN RIGHT SO FAR, so lets see where he says this is going and what the "ENDGAME" is suppose to be so we can resist it before it happens. That is where 2 B comes in with the Majestic 12 paper that he wrote.  That is why Bill is still so very valuable now that we have taken the time to listen to him after all these years and the heavy price he paid for it. He knew they were coming after him and that is why he sent his family overseas so they could not get to them and use them against him. Anyway, enjoy the education. I did. Part 2A1 is his biography and his death (2A2). Part 2B will cover his great writing on Majestic 12 and see what we can look forward too if his predictions and information were right, then we know how it will end unless we stop it.

Majestic 12 - William Cooper - (Rothschild power) Part 2

MILTON WILLIAM COOPER,  Biography & Early Revelations (2A1)
http://www.hourofthetime.com/biography.html

William Cooper was reared in an Air Force family. As a child he lived in many different countries, graduating from Yamato High School in Japan. Since he has traveled through or lived in many different foreign countries Mr. Cooper has a world view much different than most Americans.

William served with the Strategic Air Command, United States Air Force. He held a secret clearance working on B-52 bombers, KC-135 refueling aircraft, and Minuteman missiles. William received his Honorable Discharge from the United States Air Force in 1965.

William joined the United States Navy fulfilling a dream previously frustrated by chronic motion sickness. He served aboard the submarine USS Tiru (SS-416), USS Tombigbee (AOG-11), Naval Support Activity Danang RVN, Naval Security and Intelligence Camp Carter RVN, Danang Harbor Patrol RVN, Dong Ha River Security Group RVN, USS Charles Berry (DE-1035), Headquarters Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet, USS Oriskany (CVA-34).

Cooper was a member of the Office of Naval Security and Intelligence serving as a Harbor and River Patrol Boat Captain at Danang and the Dong Ha River Security Group, Cua Viet, Republic of Vietnam. William Cooper was awarded several medals for his leadership and heroism during combat including two with "V" for Valor.

He served on the Intelligence Briefing Team for the Commander In Chief of the Pacific Fleet. William was the Petty Officer of the Watch and designated KL-47 SPECAT operator in the CINCPACFLT Command Center at Makalapa Hawaii. There he held a Top Secret, Q, SI, security clearance.

William Cooper achieved the rank of First Class Petty Officer, QM1, E-6 after only 8 years of Naval service, a difficult task in any branch of the United States military. William Cooper received an Honorable Discharge from the United States Navy on December 11, 1975.

William attended Long Beach City College where he picked up an Associate of Science Degree in Photography. He founded the Absolute Image Studio and Gallery of Fine Art Photography in Long Beach, California.

William held the position of Executive Director of Adelphi Business College, Pacific Coast Technical Institute, and National Technical College. Mr. Cooper was the National Marketing Coordinator for National Education and Software.

He produced several documentaries covering subjects such as the Kennedy assassination and secret black projects that have built flying disk shaped craft.

William is an internationally acclaimed radio personality broadcasting the Hour Of The Time on WBCQ worldwide short-wave 7.415 MHz from 10 PM until 11 PM Eastern Standard Time (0300 to 0400 UTC) Monday through Thursday nights.

William Cooper is the author of Behold A Pale Horse. The book has become the best selling underground book of all time. It is read and promoted by word of mouth by People of all races, religions, and nationalities.

Mr. Cooper is a world class lecturer, one of the few other than superstars, monarchs, and Popes who have appeared at Wembly in London. William Cooper has lectured for 10 years in every State.

William Cooper, Trustee, has founded for Harvest Trust, the CAJI News Service, VERITAS national full size newspaper, The Intelligence Service, Harvest Publications, and has helped over 700 low power FM affiliate stations get equipped and on the air... including the station he manages as Trustee for the Independence Foundation Trust, 101.1 FM Eagar, Arizona, broadcasting to 7,000 people.

Under his leadership Harvest Trust ventured into the publishing trade. The first book under the Harvest Trust imprint was Oklahoma City: Day One by Michele Marie Moore... the definitive classic on the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995.

Shortly after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building Rush Limbaugh read a White House memo on the air during his broadcast which named William Cooper, "...the most dangerous radio host in America". Mr. Cooper considers William Clinton's pronouncement the greatest compliment that he has ever received.

William Cooper's FBI file, promulgated by the investigation required by his security clearances while in military service, was one of those unlawfully in possession of the White House in what has become known as, "Filegate". Shortly after this discovery President Clinton ordered all federal agencies to begin investigation, persecution, and prosecution of Mr. Cooper to shut him up.

After years of filing FOIA requests and researching the IRS William Cooper brought suit against the IRS in Federal District Court in Phoenix Arizona to force the IRS to produce proof of jurisdiction and delegation of authority which the IRS was unable to do. To short circuit Mr. Cooper's attempt to reveal the true nature of the criminal IRS, and to carry out the orders of the White House, the agency lied to a Grand Jury, not allowing William Cooper to testify, and secured indictments against Mr. Cooper and his wife Annie. This ploy successfully stopped Mr. Cooper from continuing his suit against the criminal IRS for fear of being arrested.

In 1998 VERITAS and Harvest Publications was sold to Hallmark Creative Corporation along with the copyright and all rights to all written material produced or ever to be produced by William Cooper including Behold A Pale Horse and Oklahoma City: Day one. Hallmark Creative Corporation has contracted to insure this material is always available to the public.

William Cooper continues to champion the cause of Truth and Freedom for all Peoples of all races, religions, and places of ancestral origin. William is Native American, English, Scotch, and Irish. He lives in Arizona. Formerly with his beautiful Chinese wife Annie, daughters, Dorothy (Pooh), little Allyson and their dogs, Sugarbear, and Crusher. In March of 1999 William Sent his family out of the United States for their security. He now lives and works alone with his two dogs, one rooster, and one chicken.

Vatic Note: These revelations below are included here as part of his biography are just a few of the revelations Cooper gave us way back before most of us had any idea this was going on. They were done before 9-11 and came from his own background in intel and from other insiders he had kept contact with when he left. So these have turned out to be proven true by many who were sceptical at that time. Now its common and public knowledge. He was definitely a man ahead of his time. Frankly, I believe he was killed for information he obtained while working for the Gov as an intel man who had top secret clearance. He chose to expose it at a great risk to himself and it "appears" his Majestic 12 article maybe what got him killed since its been buried deeper than BP's lockdown on info. We will get into that one after we deal with his biography and death.

Summary of some of Coopers revelations: (VN:  They have proven to be true and now its not even questioned anymore by most.)
http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/william_cooper.htm

"...History is replete with whispers of secret societies...

The oldest is the Brotherhood of the Snake,
also called the Brotherhood
of the Dragon, and it still exists under many different names. The
Brotherhood of the Snake is devoted to guarding the 'secrets of the
ages' and the recognition of Lucifer as the one and only true God...

It's secret symbol is the all-seeing eye in the pyramid."

"...the heart of the Bilderberg Group consists of 39 total members of
the Illuminati. The three committees are made up exclusively of members
of all different secret groups that make up the Illuminati, the
FREEMASONS, the VATICAN, and the BLACK NOBILITY. This committee works
year round in offices in Switzerland.

"Cooper states that he has traced the history of the nefarious
Illuminati all the way back to the Ancient Temple of Wisdom in Cairo, long before the birth of Christ. 'The Illuminati exist today under many different names and many different occupations.' Cooper told us. 'They
practice Hegalian conflict/resolution. They appear to oppose each other
at the bottom ranks, but at the highest levels they are actually
organizing and controlling the conflict which they have created to
produce the solution that they seek.  (VN: sound familiar?)

Here is a taste of his presentations back in 1991. Its only 5 minutes,
But it will give you a sense of the professionalism of the man. After all he
did work on the inside.

"'The Illuminati are extremely powerful, very wealthy men. They believe
that they are the guardians of the secrets of the ages. They believe
that the vast majority of people would not know what to do with the
real knowledge and the real truth and the real science -- and would, in
fact, misuse them all. They further believe that everything that they
do is for the ultimate betterment and survival of humankind -- even if
it means killing two billion people to reach their goal...'"

-William Cooper
(Please watch for 2A2 about his death.  Its a long one so be sure and check in)
