this is the connection I think. Something happened on the 24th and we took revenge against Obama or something of that nature.

Former Russian spy Col. Stanislav Lunev’s reaction to FBI agent’s arrest for spying
(CNN) – Veteran FBI agent Robert Philip Hanssen was charged February 20 with passing classified documents to Russia and with identifying three KGB agents who were working for the United States as double agents. He spent most of his career in counterintelligence operations designed to catch spies, most recently at the State Department. Hanssen even kept his identity a secret from his Russian controllers.
Colonel Stanislav Lunev is a former Russian spy. He is currently a consultant for the FBI and the CIA and writes a column for NewsMax.com. The highest-ranking military officer ever to defect from Russia to the United States, Lunev defected when Yeltsin came to power in 1992.
CNN Moderator: Welcome to CNN.com, Colonel Stanislav Lunev.
Col. Stanislav Lunev: Hello and thank you for inviting me.
CNN Moderator: Have Russian spy activities in the U.S. increased or decreased since the end of the Cold War?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: From the end of the Cold War, Russian spy activity against the West and the U.S. has decreased until the middle of the 90's, when it increased dramatically. Now, it would be comparable to the coldest days of the Cold War.
CNN Moderator: Why was the spy activity increased during the mid-1990s?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: It was connected to the Moscow’s politics, which were oriented to military preparations and the restoration of Russian military power and international position and influence. In this case, intelligence – as one of the arms of the strategic military arsenal of Moscow – was requested to increase its level of penetration through American secrets and friends of Americans on the Right, such as members of NATO
Additionally, in the beginning of 1996, former Russian President Boris Yeltsin authorized the Russian intelligence to take part in industrial espionage against the West and the United States.
Question from chat room: Should the U.S. be concerned about spies from "friendly" countries like Israel?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: Unfortunately, during the last several years, America’s system of national security has been in some kind of decline. American special services – I mean intelligence and counterintelligence – did not have a chance to protect everything in this country. In this situation, American foes, and sometimes friends, began to use breaks and holes in the American national security protection shield for their penetration to American secrets.
Question from chat room: Does Russia still see the U.S. as an enemy?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: Unfortunately, the Russian government considers the United States as its main potential military adversary. The increase in Russian intelligence activity against America is directly connected to this point of view, and this view is much more popular than it was in the beginning of the '90s.
Question from chat room: How can Russia continue with what I consider deceptive spying and still ask the USA to support it financially?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: It's not Russia itself that is hostile to the United States. The Russian people like America and consider America an example for their democratic reforms and creation of a free market economy. It’s the Russian government that is hostile. This is a government which actually spends all the billions of dollars it receives from the United States on its corrupt Russian elite that have private accounts in Western banks.
The Russian government tries to explain to the Russian people that Russians are living so badly, not because of a corrupted Russian government, but because an enemy would like to destroy Russia like it's already destroyed the former Soviet Union, destroyed Yugoslavia and would like to destroy Mother Russia, too.
Question from chat room: I was wondering why they didn't "flip" this FBI spy and use him for counterintelligence to feed phony stuff to the Russians. Have you ever seen that done or done that yourself?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: That’s a very professional question. If I were handling this case, I might like to use this guy as a double agent. If damage from the information Mr. Hanssen sent to his Russian handlers is overrated, it may not be profitable to use him as a double agent. This could be the reason he was arrested rather than used in double agent operations. I don’t know.
Question from chat room: Does Russia see the former republics as adversaries?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: I haven’t heard anything about this possible situation because Russia has very good relations with former Soviet Central Asian republics. It has a military presence in Georgia and Armenia. However, the Russian government has a more openly hostile relationship with the former Baltic Soviet republics such as Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, and it is having problems with Azerbaijan. Only one, the newly independent state of Transcaucasia, does not have some kind of Russian military presence. As far as military relations with the other republics, some are good and some are not so good.
Question from chat room: What about Cuban intelligence and the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in terms of operations here in the U.S.?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: I am not especially knowledgeable in Cuban intelligence but I know that Russian intelligence is operating against American and Latin American countries.
Question from chat room: How much damage do you think he has done to the U.S.?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: I am not familiar with his case and I do not have enough information to make my own conclusion.
CNN Moderator: What should America be most concerned about at this point?
Col. Stanislav Lunev: I think just now, what has happened with Mr. Hanssen is a very good reminder for all of us that danger from Russian intelligence activity against America is real, very high, and needs to be taken care of – not in the future, not tomorrow, but today.
CNN Moderator: Thank you for joining us today, Colonel Stanislav Lunev.
Col. Stanislav Lunev: Thank you very much for inviting me.
Russia Plans Invasion United States
Some of the Prophecies of Our Lady of the Roses are fast becoming a reality. On March 26, 1983 Our Lady warned, “Russia plans to invade the United States with missiles”. The term “missile” is commonly associated with the much larger ICBM’s and submarine ballistic nuclear missiles. Yet if the term also refers to portable nuclear devices and “briefcase nukes”, this prophecy of Our Lady now appears to be explained and approaching fulfillment.
Threats of nuclear terrorism
One of the latest articles : Apr 11, 2010 – Obama says Nuclear terrorism is the single biggest threat to U.S. In the past there where threats from terrorist bin Laden, and growing evidence that “suitcase nukes” are in the hands of terrorist organizations, may indicate the approaching fulfillment of two Our Lady of the Roses prophecies that Russia plans to invade the United States with “missiles” and a prophetic vision given to Veronica on March 26, 1983 of a nuclear warhead in an abandoned New York City subway tunnel.
KGB defector testifies before Congress In a Congressional hearing in 2000
KGB defector Colonel Stanislav Lunev testified to the presence of small briefcase-sized nuclear devices that have been smuggled into the United States, awaiting a future date when they will be used by KGB agents. Following are excepts as taken from Newsmax, January 25, 2000: Los Angeles – Stanislav Lunev, the highest-ranking Soviet spy ever to defect, warned members of Congress Monday a pre-emptive nuclear strike by Russia on American soil is a real possibility.
At a House Committee on Government Reform hearing here, the one-time colonel in Soviet and then Russian Federation military intelligence, gave a chilling presentation of his country’s Cold War plans to defeat the United States. Under federal witness protection, Lunev was escorted into the hearing room with a black bag covering his head. From behind a screen to shield him from the view of the audience, Lunev testified Soviet generals had designed a special plan for the future war against America and its allies in which special-operation forces commanders would come to the United States and other NATO countries a few days, maybe even a few hours before actual war. Lunev said one of his espionage assignments had been to scout “drop sites” for weapons caches.
He said he believes Russian military weapons are currently hidden in strategic points all across the United States and Europe for just such a purpose. Those hidden stockpiles of weapons would include portable nuclear devices, chemical and biological weapons, conventional weapons and incendiary devices, he said. Lunev told the panel the weapon caches could be used whenever the Russian commanders in charge are given the “go”.
“Ex-spy fears sneak Russian attack”
Stephan Archer (January 25, 2000) 60 Minutes – TV interview of Russian General Lebed General Alexander Lebed was for a short time the chairman of the Russian Security Council and Boris Yeltsin’s senior national security adviser. Lebed revealed on CBS’s 60 Minutes broadcast on September 7, 1997 that Russia had built small, portable nuclear bombs called “Special Atomic Demolition Munitions” that are designed for sabotage, and are truly nuclear “first strike” weapons that would be used at the outbreak of nuclear war by saboteurs.
During Lebed’s short time in power, he ordered the Russian military to make an accounting of these weapons. According to Lebed, “more than a hundred” of the briefcase-sized nuclear devices are missing. He also warned : Can you imagine what would happen psychologically, morally, if this weapon is detonated in a big city ? No government would want to see such a situation. About 50,000 to 70,000, up to 100,000 people would be killed.
Prophecy : My child, the last time We spoke to you, We told you that there was a far greater message to be given to mankind. This is the message: That Russia plans to invade the United States with missiles. There is much that you don’t know, my poor children, or perhaps some think it best that you don’t know what is happening within your governments. Many of the newspapers and other means of relaying this to you have been silenced.
But I, as your Mother, beg intercession through Jesus to the Eternal Father and the Holy Ghost to spare you these terrible punishments. If there is a need for more victim souls, let them be satisfied to know that they have been warned. My child, I know this has been a complete shock to you, but this message must go throughout the world. Awaken those who sleep before it is too late.” (Our Lady, March 26, 1983).

CIA DIRECTOR: WORLD WAR 3 BEGINS IN 12 WEEKS !
The current tensions and saber rattling with North Korea could be coming to a head—which would inevitably kick off world war III—by as early as March 20, 2018, according to intelligence insider, James Rickards. Rickards, who has worked closely with U.S. intelligence agencies over the last two decades, was once asked to simulate asymmetric economic attacks on the U.S. financial system and is an expert at escalation scenarios and end games. Rickards notes that we should expect this war in the next 12 weeks, because “the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency told me,” writes Rickards.
The most important financial or geopolitical issue in the world today is a coming war between the U.S. and North Korea, probably in the next twelve weeks. How can I be so sure about the timing? The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency told me.
In a private conclave in Washington DC on October 20, 2017, CIA Director Mike Pompeo told a small think tank group (including me) that it would be imprudent to assume it would take North Korea more than ‘five months’ to have a reliable arsenal of nuclear-armed ICBM missiles. These could strike U.S. cities and kill millions of Americans. Five months from October 20, 2017 is March 20, 2018. That’s an outside date but the war will likely begin before then.
While Rickards claims could be dismissed as hearsay, they are backed up by recent public admissions from top generals.
Just last week, Marine Corps commandant Gen. Robert Neller warned US troops stationed in Norway that a war is coming.
“I hope I’m wrong, but there’s a war coming,” Neller told them. “You’re in a fight here, an informational fight, a political fight, by your presence.”
FBI Offered Officials Tours of Secret Tunnel Under Soviet Embassy
FBI officials were so proud of a secret tunnel the bureau built beneath the Soviet Embassy for electronic surveillance during the final years of the Cold War that they offered tours to senior officials with top security clearances, former government officials said last week.
While much about the tunnel remains a closely held secret, electronic surveillance experts inside and outside the intelligence community said the tunnel operation gave the FBI the proximity it needed to intercept Soviet communications using a variety of bugs and taps.
"The closer the eavesdropper gets to the target, the more he can do," said one former government expert, explaining how tiny bugs planted throughout the embassy could have transmitted signals to the tunnel through fiber-optic and copper lines that are extremely difficult to detect.
Beyond "hard-wired" bugs directly connected to receivers in the tunnel, the experts said, the tunnel could have enabled the FBI to tap into telecommunications lines and even power cables, whose electromagnetic emanations can be reconstructed and deciphered.
One former law enforcement official said laser technology was deployed in the tunnel, technology the experts said could have been used to capture sound waves emanating from pipes and structural support beams. One former government electronic surveillance guru said tiny microphones could even have been inserted in toilets through water pipes to monitor conversations in bathrooms.
But whatever technologies the NSA deployed to bug the embassy, the useful information it obtained was likely negligible, according to current and former government officials.
Prosecutors now believe that FBI agent Robert P. Hanssen tipped off the KGB to the tunnel's existence early in his alleged 15-year career as a spy for Moscow, nullifying the technological advantages the FBI could have gained from such close range.
One intelligence source with direct knowledge of the technology Hanssen allegedly compromised said the Soviets used the FBI bugs and wiretaps to feed disinformation back to the U.S. government.
"They were obviously feeding a very large quantity of data to us of apparent value but no real value," the source said. "It was a very delicate game that was played out over several years."
One former government official who was offered a tour but declined the invitation because he is claustrophobic said the tunnel was accessed from a residence near the Soviet – now Russian – compound on Mount Alto, a hilltop north of Georgetown between Wisconsin Avenue and Tunlaw Road NW that is one of the highest sites in Washington. The former official said the government purchased the home and started digging the tunnel out of its basement.
Another former official acknowledged that he had toured the passageway but declined to describe it, saying everything about it remains highly classified.
A 109-page affidavit filed in court to support espionage charges against Hanssen never specifically mentions the tunnel. But a senior U.S. official said the affidavit refers indirectly to the eavesdropping operation when it alleges that Hanssen "compromised an entire technical program of enormous value, expense and importance to the United States."
https:// www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/03/11/fbi-offered-officials-tours-of-secret-tunnel-under-soviet-embassy/c2e7e4fe-67d2-4c92-b980-da9f7d96dc05/?utm_term=.074728cb9f09
U.S. officials, in any event, realized the tunnel operation had been compromised years before Hanssen was unmasked last month as an alleged spy for Moscow, former FBI and intelligence officials said.
Indeed, Stanislav Lunev, a former colonel in Soviet military intelligence, said U.S. officials might have been alerted by a broadcast on Soviet television in 1987. In the broadcast, Soviet officials revealed numerous listening devices found throughout the embassy, including its basement.
"Somebody dug in the basement with a shovel and found electronic devices, brand new," said Lunev, who arrived in Washington under cover as a correspondent for the Soviet news agency Tass in 1988 and defected to the United States in 1992.
Lunev said he was never told that a tunnel existed but hardly finds the disclosure remarkable. "To believe there is no tunnel under the embassy would be stupid," Lunev said. "It's real life, a clear practice of intelligence."
One former government electronic surveillance expert said that "hard-wired" bugs accessible using a tunnel are vastly preferable to "radio frequency" bugs that broadcast signals to nearby receivers, often in extremely short bursts to avoid detection.
One such transmitting bug was planted by Russian military intelligence in a seventh-floor conference room at the State Department and discovered in late 1999, the expert said. "A college student with a spectrum analyzer could have found it," he added.
"Any time you see the word 'tunnel,' you assume that cables are being introduced or hard-wired and the tunnel is a terminus for all the bugs in the building," the expert said.
He contended that the Soviets probably would have discovered the listening devices and tiny cables eventually, even without a tip-off. "And if they found fiber-optic listening devices where they shouldn't have been, they would have immediately realized the United States installed them," the expert said.
Even harder than introducing the bugs, however, may have been digging the tunnel itself. Several former intelligence officials said a unit within the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology possesses sophisticated tunneling capabilities and might have been consulted on the project.
"This isn't the only tunnel ever dug," said one former intelligence official. "There's been enough of these things done where there is considerable in-house capability. The deeper you go, the more physical issues you have to confront."
But not all of the challenges involve high technology. In digging any tunnel, the former official noted, "you've got a massive amount of dirt to move."
SLEEPER AGENT
The Chi Mak case and Chinese espionage in the United States
By Thomas Boghardt, November 2008
The bespectacled 67-year-old engineer certainly didn't look much of a spy. Yet Chi Mak's case is emblematic of the gravest espionage threats the United States is currently facing—those from the People's Republic of China (PRC). In the course of his trial, Mak acknowledged coming to the United States in the 1970s "in order to burrow into the defense-industrial establishment to steal secrets." This he did with great skill and extraordinary patience. Having settled in Southern California, Mak became a naturalized citizen in 1985 and subsequently accepted a job with defense contractor Power Paragon, specializing in naval propulsion technology. With the help of his wife, Mak photocopied thousands of pages of sensitive documents and gave them to his brother who passed them along to PRC officials. In 2005, the FBI busted the family spy ring by catching Mak's brother red-handed at Los Angeles International Airport,securing a disk with encrypted sensitive material. In 2008, Mak was found guilty and sentenced to 24 1/2 years in prison. The judge intended the harsh sentence as a warning to China not to "send agents here to steal America's military secrets." That may be wishful thinking. The PRC is interested in both military and civilian technological secrets and employs a diverse network of professional spies, students, and scientists. Since 2000, U.S. authorities have launched more than 540 investigations of illegal technology exports to China. One U.S. official described the broadness of Chinese espionage in the United States as an "intellectual vacuum cleaner." In selecting and training their spies, the PRC displays great patience. Like Mak, agents are often developed over many years. PRC spy handlers also make good use of the fact that members of the far-flung Chinese diaspora in the United States usually retain a degree of attachment to China. Likewise, defections from Chinese intelligence are extremely rare since the "collective blood guarantee" ensures that "all family members and relatives of the defector must share responsibility for defection, and will receive extremely cruel punishment," says Stanislav Lunev, a former Russian military intelligence officer specializing in China. The leverage PRC officials wield over the U.S.-based Chinese diaspora, and the loyalty conflict immigrants may develop, pose a serious challenge to U.S. counterintelligence. "Dual loyalty is a problem we haven't seen on such a scale since the Revolution," says Joel Brenner, the U.S. intelligence community's top counterintelligence officer. Mak, it seems, was never able to sort out his competing loyalties. When sentenced for espionage, Mak told the judge: "I never intended to hurt this country. I love this country."
What Every Rabbit Knows, Dig Deep
"Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong, and every one, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand before it?"
Revelation 6:15-17
As we've already discussed one of FEMA's prime duties over the past 30 years has been to construct and equip a vast network of underground bases and facilities throughout the United States and around the world.
And a place called Mount Weather is their base of operations for the carrying out of this massive project. Now few Americans are even aware of the existence of Mount Weather, a mysterious underground military base carved deep inside a mountain near the sleepy rural town of Bluemont, Virginia.
Located just 46 miles from Washington DC, Mount Weather, also known as the Western Virginia Office of Controlled Conflict Operations, is buried not just in hard granite, but in secrecy as well. In March 1976, The Progressive Magazine published an astonishing article entitled The Mysterious Mountain.
The author, Richard Pollock based his investigative report on Senate subcommittee hearings and upon "several off-the-recon interviews with officials formerly associated with Mourn Weather." His report, and a 1991 article in Time Magazine entitled Doomsday Hideaway, supply a few compelling hints about what is going on underground.
Ted Gup, writing for Time Magazine, describes the base as follows:
"Mount Weather is a virtually self-contained facility. Above ground, scattered across manicured lawns, are about a dozen buildings bristling with antennas and microwave relay systems. An on-site sewage-treatment plant, with a 90,000 gal.-a-day capacity, and two tanks holding 250,000 gal. of water could last some 200 people more than a month; underground ponds hold additional water supplies. Not far from the installation's entry gate are a control tower and a helicopter pad. The mountain's real secrets are not visible at ground level."
Warning signs, 10 foot-high chain link fences, razor wire, and armed guards protects the mountain's real secrets. Curious motorists and hikers on the Appalachian Trail are relieved of their sketching pads and cameras and sent on their way. Security is tight. The government has owned the site since 1903, and it has seen service as an artillery range, a hobo farm during the Depression, and a National Weather Bureau Facility. In 1936, the U.S. Bureau of Mines took control of the site and started digging. Mount Weather is virtually an underground city, according to former personnel interviewed by Pollock.
Buried deep inside the earth, Mount Weather is equipped with such amenities as: -private apartments and dormitories -streets and sidewalks -cafeterias and hospitals -a water purification system, power plant and general office buildings -a small lake fed by fresh water from underground springs -its own mass transit system-a TV communication system Mount Weather's purpose is to be the self-sustaining underground command center for the FEMA.
The facility is also the operational center of approximately 100 other Federal Relocation Centers, most of which are concentrated in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. Together this network of underground facilities constitutes the backbone of America's "Continuity of Government" program. In the event of a disaster the President, his cabinet and the rest of the Executive Branch would be "relocated" to Mount Weather.
It is impossible to measure the damage done to US intelligence through these leaks, but knowledgeable specialists assess the cumulative impact as truly significant. Some losses are permanent and irreversible; others can be recovered, though sometimes only partially, and with the expenditure of substantial resources that could well be spent elsewhere.
While leaks of classified information are often intended to influence or inform US audiences, foreign intelligence services and terrorists are close and voracious readers of the US press. They are keenly alert to revelations of US classified information. For example, a former Russian military intelligence officer wrote:
I was amazed—and Moscow was very appreciative—at how many times I found very sensitive information in American newspapers. In my view, Americans tend to care more about scooping their competition than about national security, which made my job easier.5
I call this the Lunev Axiom: Classified intelligence disclosed in the press is the effective equivalent of intelligence gathered through foreign espionage. Importantly, more than just Russian intelligence officers understand this. Key adversaries of the United States, such as China and al-Qaida, derive a significant amount of their information on the United States and US intelligence from the media, including the Internet. What we need to understand are the legal implications of this key principle.
Reported Examples of Intelligence Losses due to Press Leaks
Soviet ICBM testing, 1958. A New York Times story on 31 January 1958 reported that the United States was able to monitor the eight-hour countdown broadcasts for Soviet missile launches from Tyuratam (now Baykonur), Kazakhstan, which provided enough lead time to dispatch US aircraft to observe the splashdowns and, thus, collect data used to estimate the accuracy of the intercontinental ballistic missiles. Following publication of the article, Moscow cut the countdown broadcasts to four hours, too little time for US aircraft to reach the landing area. Occurring in the midst of the missile-gap controversy, the publication of the press item left President Eisenhower livid, according to Wayne Jackson in Allen Welsh Dulles, Director of Central Intelligence (July 1973, declassified history, Volume IV, pp. 29-31, in Record Group 263, National Archives). According to the same source, some intelligence was lost forever, and, to recoup the remainder, the US Air Force had to rebuild an Alaskan airfield at a cost of millions of dollars.
Politburo conversations, 1971. In a 16 September 1971 column in The Washington Post, Jack Anderson wrote that US intelligence was successfully intercepting telephone conversations from limousines used by members of the Soviet Politburo in Moscow. In his book, For the President’s Eyes Only (New York, NY: Harper Perennial, 1966, p. 359), British historian Christopher Andrew says that this US collection program producing highly sensitive information ended abruptly after Anderson’s revelations.
Soviet submarine, 1975. The Los Angeles Times published a story on 7 February 1975 that the CIA had mounted an operation to recover a sunken Soviet submarine from the Pacific Ocean floor. The New York Times ran with its own version the next day. After this story broke, Jack Anderson further publicized the secret operation on national television on 18 March. In his memoir, Honorable Men: My Life in the CIA (London: Hutchinson, 1978, pp. 413-418), former DCI William Colby wrote: “There was not a chance that we could send the Glomar [Explorer] out again on an intelligence project without risking the lives of our crew and inciting a major international incident. . . . The Glomar project stopped because it was exposed.”
How Leaks Hurt
The Intelligence Community faces improved foreign countermeasures as adversaries use leaks to expand their understanding of US intelligence. In the mid-1990s, for example, dozens of press articles covered the issue of whether Chinese M-11 missiles had been covertly transferred to Pakistan. If missiles had been acquired, Pakistan could be found in violation of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) to which it was a signatory. Under the National Defense Authorization Act, US law mandates sanctions against proven MTCR violators.
Reports in the Washington press claimed that US intelligence had indeed found missiles in Pakistan, but that the information, apparently, was not solid enough to trigger sanctions. Based on numerous leaks, readers of both The Washington Times and The Washington Post learned that intelligence had failed to convince the Department of State of the missiles’ existence. “Spy satellites,” the press announced, were unable to “confirm” the presence of such missiles. The message from the press coverage was, in effect, that any nation—such as Pakistan or other signatories to the MTCR who sought to circumvent its terms— could avert US sanctions if they neutralized intelligence by shielding missiles from satellite observation. These articles not only suggested to Pakistan and China that some key denial measures were succeeding, but also spelled out specific countermeasures that other potential violators could take to prevent US intelligence from satisfying the standards needed for sanctions.
US imaging capabilities are a favorite press topic. An example is leaked intelligence about India’s nuclear program in the mid-1990s. Unauthorized disclosures about issues such as this have revealed to our adversaries, directly and indirectly, unique elements that underpin our analytic tradecraft. Thoughtful manipulation by adversaries, as well as friends, of such knowledge exposed in the press impairs our ability to provide policymakers with timely intelligence before they are taken by surprise—as happened when the Intelligence Community failed to warn of the Indian nuclear tests in May 1998.6
In addition, effective intelligence depends on cooperative relationships with friendly governments and individuals who trust the United States to protect their confidences. Press disclosures can—and sometimes do—undermine these relationships, making both governments and individuals reluctant to share information, thereby inhibiting intelligence support crucial to informed policymaking, counterterrorist efforts, and, when necessary, military operations.
In 1998, for example, newspaper reports provided lengthy coverage of UNSCOM, the UN Special Commission charged with inspecting Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD) facilities following the Gulf war. These reports were widely cited in subsequent worldwide media coverage. Although the articles contained many inaccuracies, information in them interfered with the US government’s ability to aggressively pursue its policy on Iraqi weapons inspections. Other serious leaks clearly have degraded Washington’s ability to obtain intelligence on Iraq. Damaging press disclosures based on imagery-derived intelligence on Iraq have included the movement of missile systems, the construction of a new command and control network, and the dispersal of WMD equipment following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
Terrorists feed on leaks. Through their investigations into whether the 9/11 attacks resulted from intelligence failure, Congress and the special Commission will learn that important intelligence collection capabilities against Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida were lost in the several years preceding September 2001. With the concurrence of NSA, the White House officially released just one of these. As press spokesman Ari Fleischer explained:
And let me give you a specific example why, in our democracy and in our open system, it is vital that certain information remain secret. In 1998, for example, as a result of an inappropriate leak of NSA information, it was revealed about NSA being able to listen to Osama bin Laden on his satellite phone. As a result of the disclosure, he stopped using it. As a result of the public disclosure, the United States was denied the opportunity to monitor and gain information that could have been very valuable for protecting our country.7
What the public cannot easily know, because the overwhelming bulk of this intelligence must necessarily remain classified, is that the bin Laden example cited here is just the tip of the iceberg. In recent years, all intelligence agencies—CIA, NSA, NIMA, NRO, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, to cite just the larger ones—have lost important collection capabilities, including against high-value terrorist targets. These losses have impaired human operations, signals intelligence, and imagery collection. And they have deprived analysts and policymakers of critical information, unavailable elsewhere, that they should have had.
After twenty-seven trips to Russia and countless conversations with men in the know -Alexander Lebed, Boris Yeltsin's former national-security adviser; Marshal Igor Sergeyev, former defense minister of Russia; and Stanislav Lunev, the highest-ranking military spy ever to defect from Russia- Curt Weldon is determined to continue his one-man crusade against complacency. Convinced that the Clinton administration turned a blind eye toward Russia's illegal-arms proliferation under Yeltsin, Weldon wants any and all nuclear materials accounted for, as quickly as possible. His business cards are printed in Russian. He loves the country. But he gets impatient with its bureaucracy when so much is at stake, when so much of Russia's battlefield arsenal is nuclear. He will not stop trotting out his mock-up briefcase, not until someone accounts for the eighty real ones Lebed swears are lost.
Our Lady - "The eagle is plucked. He will not rise again."
Veronica saw in vision an eagle stretched out flat on his stomach, with his head hanging weakly to the side, struggling to get up. His feathers were all about him, plucked out. There were three creatures by him. Two of them were leaving his vanquished form. These two had the forms of a dragon and a lizard. The lizard had a most unusually long tongue. There was the other creature, the third, that looked like a bear, still beating on the fallen eagle. (July 15, 1970)
"He said, 'Congressman, I used all the leverage I have as the president's adviser. We could only locate 48.' Which meant that there were over 80 small atomic demolition devices with the capacity of one to 10 kilotons that they just could not locate.
"I came back and briefed the CIA and they said, 'Basically, we have no way of knowing [if that's true],'" Weldon recalled.
Russian officials subsequently denied Lebed's claim. But U.S. government officials remain concerned that rogue elements in the Mideast - terrorists Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein - may have gotten their hands on some of the missing Russian suitcase nukes.
In September, Rep. Chris Shays, R-Ct., chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security, said "We don't really have a straight answer from our own government" on whether Lebed's report was accurate.
In 1992, former senior KGB intelligence officer Stanislav Lunev defected to the U.S. and revealed KGB plans to plant dozens of suitcase-sized nukes throughout the U.S. He documented his account in his 1992 book, "Through the Eyes of the Enemy."
Lunev is now a contributing writer for NewsMax.com.
In 1999, a second KGB intelligence officer, Vasili Mitrokhin, defected to Great Britain and corroborated many of Lunev's claims.

Major Trojan Horse Problems

Media people and media corporations, who have received written notices of the dangers for the past half century.
Victims−and enablers−the American public, who have throughout this entire period of time ignored the warnings, and continue to do so, suffering the consequences of what their indifference has made possible. They have been used as a feeding trough for the hoard of people in government and elsewhere engaging in frauds and lies.

DAMN, sorry..
“As it becomes increasingly clear the West is controlled by Cabalist Satanists, the most despicable criminals and traitors, our hopes for salvation rest on Russia’s Putin who, in contrast, seems like the paragon of sanity and goodness.
He thwarted the Zionist takeover of Syria and destroyed the barbaric Zionist proxy, ISIS.Nevertheless Putin’s bona fides need to be scrutinized carefully”. (Henry Makow).
“Putin´s statement of December 2013: “Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values. Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation”- and other apparently religious statements as well as his denunciations regarding various crimes of the West. However, taking perspective from his virulently anti-Christian actions as above, we find further understanding of Sacred Scripture”. (The New American).
Henry Makow 16 May 2016: “Politics is a charade. All politicians are members of a satanic cult, Freemasonry. Politics is basically Masonic factions vying for ascendancy.
Just as World War Two was a charade, so will World War Three,
with Putin cast as the opponent of Jewish banker hegemony instead of Hitler”.
thank you for noticing that. literally the only reason I posted that statement.
