The war on whistleblowers rages on and the Obama administration adds one more causality to the war on government transparency. On Thursday, former CIA official John Kiriakou was indicted for allegedly leaking information to journalists. Kiriakou is no rookie to whistleblowing; he exposed the CIA's use of waterboarding on terror suspects. If convicted, Kiriakou could receive a maximum of 45 years in prison for the five-count indictment including three charges under the Espionage Act.Stephen Kohn, author of The Whistleblower's Handbook, joins us with his take on Kiriakou's case.

I agree with you thunder24. The list is long of all the conspirators and their willing co-conspirators who have scewed up our country and our world.
But Prez BO is doing alot of damage all by himself. He'll go down in infamy, that's for sure. While this a**hole is indicting whistleblowers who have the integrity to expose criminal activities, BO should expect his own indictment as well. Only his will be for treason.....
And since Bush declared this ridiculous WAR on terror, you know what the punishment for treason during war is, right? Death.

Every Prez is a powerless puppet. Even the neo-Nazi GHWB took orders from Kissinger. Obama is especially impotent, trained from birth like all the others, dancing to the tune of whatever the CFR, who took orders from the Bilderbergers who took orders from the Committee of 33 who took orders from the Committee of 9 who took orders from the Committee of 3 who took orders from the one or two top jackasses, put him in power. It's doubtful that he even has the authority to take a dump when he wants to. He certainly cannot select his own tie.

I just can't see NOT holding this puppet and all the others blameless. How is it that someone like Ron Paul can hold onto HIS honor and integrity in the midst of all this corruption? Does this mean that Prez BO is a weak minded being? I read that he sits around the oval office in t-shirt and shorts all day watching video games, Now there's a leader we can admire, right? Does this mean that the highest office in the country is such an easy job that even a monkey could do it? If the secret is that the cabal is really running the show, why aren't the alarm bells going off! If anything needs to go viral it's this....How the heck did this slip by us all this time?

[Axman]

Not sure how they did it and he came from the state where i live.

Your right whitefeather. Karma is coming for those azz clowns. People in general who knowing do others wrong will also get it.

Problem is - even if you change governments you are still under the control of the Illuminati.

Karma is cool and it will catch up - but things are progressing too fast.

The Final Stage of Obama’s Dictatorship

by David Christie -- on behalf of the national slate of [6+] LPAC-endorsed candidates for US Congress

Be not deceived- Obama’s full frontal attack on the Supreme Court is nothing less than the final phase of his “Hitler dictatorship”. Obama has now effectively adopted the “fuhrerprinzip” of the Nazi legal theorist, Carl Schmitt.

After Adolph Hitler murdered his political opponents during the “night of the long knives”, Schmitt authored a short, but concise justification of the Hitler dictatorship, in August of 1934, which stated that in a “…moment of danger he directly creates law by virtue of his leadership as the supreme judicial authority.... The true Leader is always also Judge. From the Leadership flows the judgeship.” The nature of Obama’s attack on the Supreme Court is to establish him as judge, jury, and executioner. It is the final stage in a process of his attack on due process, in both the detention policy contained in the NDAA, and the targeted assassinations of American citizens without trial.

In a webcast delivered on April 11th, 2009, Lyndon LaRouche identified Obama as a carbon copy of the Emperor Nero. In that webcast, LaRouche elaborated that Obama is a Narcissist, not only as Nero was, but as Adolph Hitler was as well. In the past three years since that webcast, we have now seen LaRouche’s warning play out in Obama’s intense commitment to destroy our nation and the Constitution it is based upon, in his drive to implement a fascist dictatorship. We have seen his utter contempt for the separation of the powers contained in the Constitution by his attack on Libya, refusing to go to Congress for the authorization of war. He has even violated international law by ordering the assassination of the captured Muammar Gaddafi.

But his latest violation of the separation of powers in the Constitution, concerning his attack on the Supreme Court, is the last step in this Hitler coup. He must be removed immediately through impeachment, or by the 25th Amendment. This violation of the judicial review process of the Supreme Court, and his attack on the “unelected judges”, has now finally caught the attention of those within the institutions who had said that LaRouche was “over the top” on both the Nero comparison, and Obama’s Hitler mustache. Impeachment is now being murmured through the halls of our institutions, with a House Concurrent Resolution (H. Con. Res 107) that has been submitted by Walter Jones in the US congress, putting impeachment squarely on the table.

With a serious impeachment drive led by the National LaRouche Slate, the danger is that Obama will start a war abroad, to distract from his problems at home. However, any of the wars that start now, will not be limited to abroad. Any one of the global hotspots in Iran, Syria or North Korea, can set off a chain reaction process, culminating in thermonuclear war. Since the death of Gaddafi last October, LaRouche warned that the collapsing British Empire would use their puppet Obama to threaten Russia and China with thermonuclear annihilation, forcing them to forsake their commitment to true economic progress. The only way to stop this danger of a global thermonuclear holocaust is to immediately remove Obama.

Once he goes, we can implement the platform of the National LaRouche Slate, and return to our Constitution. This platform must be seen as a single integrated conception, beginning with the restoration of Glass-Steagall to wipe out the British Imperial banking syndicate, and then a return to Alexander Hamilton’s policy for national banking. This return to our national banking system will restore our sovereignty, by ensuring that we can finance our own development, instead of relying on the dole of the international banking cartel. What gives credit, or credibility, to the US Dollar, is our commitment to develop the future, with projects like NAWAPA, that create a potential for growth that outpaces attrition by increasing the energy flux density of the system as a whole. Real economics is scientific and cultural advancement, and requires a sovereign banking system to promote that and give us control over our destiny.

What constitutes the existence of the United States is each citizen’s participation in the core principles of our nation contained in the preamble- the general welfare, posterity and sovereignty. The intention of the system of checks and balances in the constitution is to ensure that our nation operates on these principles, not the momentary whims of a king or dictator. We have let Obama stay for too long. He must be removed now.

Afghan war whistleblower Daniel Davis: 'I had to speak out – lives are at stake'

Soldier wrote detailed report claiming US generals 'have so distorted the truth … the truth has become unrecognisable'

"I am – how do you say it? – persona non grata," said Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Davis, as he sat sipping a coffee and eating a chocolate sundae in a shopping mall, just a subway stop from the Pentagon.

The career soldier is now a black sheep at the giant defence department building where he still works. The reason was his extraordinarily brave decision to accuse America's military top brass of lying about the war in Afghanistan. When he went public in the New York Times, he was acclaimed as a hero for speaking out about a war that many Americans feel has gone horribly awry. Later this month he will receive a Ridenhour prize, an award given to whistleblowers that is named after the Vietnam war soldier who exposed the My Lai massacre.

Davis believes people are not being told the truth and said so in a detailed report that he wrote after returning from his second tour of duty in the country. He had been rocketed, mortared and had stepped on an improvised explosive device that failed to explode. Soldiers he had met were killed and he was certain that a bloody disaster was unfolding. So he spoke out. "It's like I see in slow motion men dying for nothing and I can't stop it," he said. "It is consuming me from the inside. It is eating me alive."

Davis, 48, drew up two reports containing research and observations garnered from his last tour. He was not short of material. As part of his job he had criss-crossed the country, travelling 9,000 miles and talking to more than 250 people. He had built up a picture of a hopeless cause; a country where Afghan soldiers were incapable of holding on to American gains. US soldiers would fight and die for territory and then see Afghan troops let it fall to the Taliban. Often the Afghans actively worked with the Taliban or simply refused to fight. One Afghan police officer laughed in Davis's face when asked if he ever tried to fight the enemy. "That would be dangerous!" the man said.

Yet at the same time Davis saw America's military chiefs, such as General David Petraeus, constantly speak about America's successes, especially when working with local troops. So Davis compiled two reports: one classified and one unclassified. He sent both to politicians in Washington and lobbied them on his concerns. Then in February he went public by giving an interview to the New York Times and writing a damning editorial in a military newspaper. Then – and only then – did he tell his own army bosses what he had done.

Davis pulled no punches. His report's opening statement read: "Senior ranking US military leaders have so distorted the truth when communicating with the US Congress and American people in regards to conditions on the ground in Afghanistan that the truth has become unrecognisable."

The report detailed an alarming picture of Taliban advances and spiralling violence. Afghan security forces were unwilling or unable to fight, or actively aiding the enemy. That picture was contrasted with repeated rosy statements from US military leaders. His classified version was far more damning, but it remains a secret. "I am no WikiLeaks guy part two," Davis said. He foresees a simple and logical end point for Afghanistan – civil war and societal collapse, probably long before the last US combat soldier is scheduled to leave. He says the Afghan army and police simply cannot cope and the US forces training and working with them know that, despite official pronouncements to the contrary. "What I saw first hand in virtually every circumstance was a barely functioning organisation often co-operating with the insurgent enemy," Davis's report said.

The document was also damning about the role of the US media in reporting the war. Ever since Vietnam, generals have slammed the press as a potential danger to military operations, but Davis's report lambasted journalists for failing to question the official army line. He said the media were obsessed with getting "access" to military bases and generals and tempered reporting in order to maintain that situation. "Most of the media just takes the talking points and repeats them," he said.

Davis has not been officially sanctioned – because his classified report remains secret, he broke no law – and the military has not set out actively to condemn him. Instead there has been a muted official response, while privately, Davis said, many colleagues have congratulated him for speaking out. Yet he is now experiencing a strange end to a military career to which he devoted his life. It included serving in Germany, both Iraq wars and then two tours in Afghanistan. He said it gave him pride and a sense of purpose in doing a greater good.

"I loved the army. There was nothing I have ever wanted to do more than this job since I started as a private back in 1985," he said. That is a very all-American sentiment, but then so is Davis's background. He was born the son of a football coach and grew up in Dallas, Texas. He is a born-again Christian who sings in a church choir. He said the decision to go public involved heavy "soul-searching".

It has also made any future career advancement highly unlikely. "Maybe no one will listen, but I would not be able to sleep if I made no attempt," he said.

What Davis wants – and what several politicians are lobbying for – are congressional hearings on the issue. He wants the generals grilled on his report and on how their comments compare with the evidence. But that needs the support of party leaders such as Democratic senator Harry Reid or Republican House speaker John Boehner, and that seems unlikely because such hearings would be a political minefield.

This only serves to infuriate Davis. "Wouldn't you want to know the truth when you are making a war-and-peace decision?" Does he have any regrets? "There has never been a fraction of a question as to whether I did the right thing," he said. "Lives are at stake."

WF, I love the positivity, but... I don't understand why you think their time is short... There's nothing I've seen that shows there is any hope. I get the spiritual argument, that we are all one and so on, but I just can't get myself to meditate in the closet while people all over the world are slaughtered.
