Reply #160: The Valerie Plame story seems to be just that. Even David Swanson [View All]

[Trevelyan]

of AfterDowningStreet.com wrote a disgusted paragraph about Plame and Wilson revelling in their celebracy and they posed not only for Vanity Fair but in a very clear picture of Valerie Plame's features at a table at a fundraiser, I didn't realize that by doing so she was continuing to endanger her "team. Swanson also wrote that the bloodstained CIA has been used by most presidents as their own personal mafia.

Citizen Spook has an incredible article in his last post about Plame and Wilson being double agents. I had read about the outing of Khan in a long article a few months ago and bits about Cheney and Rumsfeld being involved in the nuclear blackmark or WMD "Walmart" at the Khan Institute cover in Pakistan being the reason Plame's network was deliberately destroyed rather than the "spin" that it was for revenge of Wilson's yellowcake uranium bunk.

Very long, technical article, these are just excerpts should be read and pondered by every concerned citizen.

THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, JOSEPH WILSON, ROBERT NOVAK, DAVID CORN,VALERIE PLAME ET ALS HAVE CONSPIRED TO EXPOSE NETWORKS OF GENUINE INTELLIGENCE AGENTS AND THEIR SOURCES WHO WERE CLOSING IN ON TREASONOUS ACTS PERPETRATED BY THE WHITE HOUSE TO FURTHER AN INSIDIOUS AGENDA OF EMPIRE EXPANSION THROUGH STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM DESIGNED TO CREATE A THIRST FOR REVENGE AND JUSTICE IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The meticulous outing of Plame and the media circus that ensued was
designed as a smokescreen to cloud the truth and the law while they
exposed CIA networks operating to stop WMD proliferation. Genuine
agents and sources were left out in the cold while targets were warned
and allowed to escape.

~~~~~
The concept that all of these spook perpetraitors put their faith in was that if Joe Wilson was talking about the IIPA as the controlling law, then the IIPA would be accepted, by the media and the people, as the controlling law, since Joe Wilson, more than anybody, would want to see the evil Bush administration put away for outing his CIA wife. And when Joe Wilson issued statements to the effect that conviction under the IIPA was probably not going to happen, the rest of us could justlet this blow over while a few Bush operatives were given slaps on the wrist.

All the while, Joe Wilson was running protection for the leakers because Wilson and his wife are Bush administration double agent operatives who have something to hide, something big, something towering.

~~~~~~~~~

Once you understand 18 USC 794(b), air tight convictions for the Plame leakers become apparent. There's nothing to argue about. There's no wiggle room. The law was drafted to stop espionage, to stop people from exposing our intelligence assets. Maybe you're familiar with them; the CIA, NSA, FBI, departments of our Government we the people pay hundreds of billions for, to protect us from being attacked here at home, and to protect our soldiers abroad.

18 USC 794 has been used to put traitors away for life.

It's the law of the land.

Their ruse involved spinning the Plame leak as revenge and political payback connecting it to the decision to go to war thereby causing "we the people" to become divided. Then they threw a complicated statute into the mix, the IIPA, which allows convincing arguments, both for and against conviction under these facts, so the political smokescreen expanded to an opaque impenetrable thickness.
Following such a national debate, US citizens will demand to know why the Bush administration risked prosecution under such punishing laws. And they will also demand to know why Joe Wilson hasn't been calling for prosecution under these laws.

Once we the people start asking the right questions, the Government andmedia spin trance fails, they lose control of our minds, and we beginto think for ourselves, to use our minds instead of allowing our mindsbe used by the enemy.

They created "wiggle room" where there was no wiggle room by guiding
your attention, from both liberal and conservative media sources, to
the irrelevant Intelligence Identities Protection Act.

Violation of 18 USC 794(b) can lead to the death penalty or life in
prison, a much greater punishment than under the IIPA. So you would
expect that those involved with outing a CIA operative and a CIA front
company might think twice about breaking this law. And this leads to
the following questions about motivation which really get to the heart
of this intricate ruse:

1. WOULD THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION VIOLATE 18 USC 794 KNOWING SUCH A
VIOLATION COULD LEAD TO DEATH OR LIFE IN PRISON JUST TO "SMEAR" JOE
WILSON?

No. They aren’t' that stupid. These are intelligent people who have
procured the Executive Branch of the US Government. 18 USC 794 has put
people like Aldrich Ames away for life. This is a very serious law.
Nobody in the Bush administration was going to break it just to bitch
slap Joe Wilson. That's the fecal toast Joe Wilson and David Corn
originally served over two years ago, a meal that has been uniformly
consumed by America, so please don't eat it anymore. It's a lie, and a
rather bad one at that.

Focus on the penalty; death or life in prison. The motivation of a
bitch slap does not fit the crime. The Bush administration must have
had a greater motivation to risk prosecution under 794(b).

It's really quite an amazing quote which history may record as being
the smoking dung gun that toppled this administration and put Joe
Wilson and the other co-conspirators behind bars.

USA, you've been hoodwinked big time.

~~~~~~~~~
The law does not provide a motive defense. They can tell the judge and jury at trial, "Yeah, so we outed her network, but we did it to shmeer Joe Wilson, not to cause damage to national security." But the cold hard fact remains,18 USC 794 doesn't care. There's no "motive" requirement. Sorry Joe, this is treason. You said it yourself, "This is the stuff of Aldrich Ames". What an amazing quote.

The cold, made of steel, unbendable law, 18 USC 794, is the reason Wilson has been guiding American attention spans to the IIPA. As long as we were focused on the IIPA, convictions would be very hard to come by.

Wilson was running protection.

repeats the mantra that it was done for revenge, political payback,
etc. But the true motivation was to stop the agents she was working
with from gathering evidence of mass murder; past present and future.
Wilson's book references the IIPA on pages; xxxviii-xxxix, xl, 4, 346,
349, 350-351, 358-360, 384-385, 388, 395-396, and 445. Do you know how
many times 18 USC 793 and 794 are mentioned? None, nada, zero. Why do
you think that is? Because Wilson never heard of these laws? No. This
CIA couple know the law inside out. And they know the carnage that
outing her caused to the operations and operatives she was overseeing,
people that trusted her whose lives were in her hands.

Corn was the media ringleader on the left. Novak held that title on theright. And together they pulled the wool over the eyes of the Nation.

Valerie Plame will be the toughest conviction in this treason
conspiracy. I suppose a creative prosecutor, if he establishes that
Plame's likeness was information related to the public defense, could
successfully prosecute her for transmitting that information to the
enemy by agreeing to be photographed for the cover of Vanity Fair. If
Fitzgerald were to bring witnesses from the CIA to testify that they
never would have given her permission to be photographed for the cover
of a major magazine, and those witnesses could bring evidence that her
likeness "might be used", or was used, by the enemy, she could be
prosecuted under 18 USC 793 and 794(b) and (c).

Daithí Mac Lochlainn of Melbourne
Indymedia; first alerted me to the Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan
leak situation. Daithi is organizing a petition to gather support
insisting that the Government investigate this incredible treason.

Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com; has written a very interesting report on that leak: Who 'Outed' Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan?:

What I'd like to know, however, is who is working as a double agent inside our own government? Because someone has sure sabotaged the hunt for Bin Laden and his cohorts just as effectively as if they'd been working for the Islamists."


There are some very strong indications.

Roger Payne's Blog; of August 5th, 2005, discusses the Khan leak and mentions a very interesting quote by Joe Klein writing for Time Magazine:
"Joe Klein reported; in Time Magazine, June 26, 2004 that Plame 'may have been active in a sting operation involving the trafficking of WMD components.'

A WMD sting? Really? Now, that's interesting."

Wayne Madsen; (an independent investigative journalist who has covered DC politics,national security, and intelligence issues since 1994, has written for The Village Voice, The Progressive, Counterpunch, and more) offered the following commentary for Morphizm.com;in an extensive report about the Asher Karni situation:

"It is no coincidence that FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds uncovered nuclear material and narcotics trafficking involving Turkish intermediaries with ties to Israel at the same time Brewster Jennings and the CIA's Counter Proliferation Division was hot on the trail of nuclear proliferations tied to the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon and the A. Q. Khan network of Pakistan..

It will be interesting to see who decides to cooperate with Patrick
Fitzgerald as heads begin to roll and testimony is traded for immunity.
