"Former CIA Robert Steele reviews Webster Tarpleys 9/11 "Synthetic Terror"" "Reviewer, a former spy and founder of the Marine Corps Intelligence Command, is convinced by Progressive Press offering that 9/11 was a "US-based conspiracy" "Progressive Press announced that its "9/11 Synthetic Terror" has just been cited as the best non-fiction book ever by Amazon's top non-fiction book reviewer, intelligence professional Robert Steele, in a 5-star review at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0930852370">www.amazon.com/dp/0930852370</a> . Progressive specializes in books that contend 9/11 was an "inside job." Publisher John Leonard says "it's a coup to have Steele with us on this. Here you have a level-headed, respected insider, lifelong Republican, veteran spy, and he's breaking the taboos. It's a great tribute and a vindication of the work we put into 9/11 Synthetic Terror." Steele's statement that 9/11 was a "US-based conspiracy" may be a first coming from a senior US intelligence community figure. He came to this conclusion "with great sadness" after reading "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA," which he praises as "without question, the most important modern reference on state-sponsored terrorism." (visit the link for the full press release) From wikipedia: Robert David Steele Vivas (b. July 16, 1952 New York City), is a former Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer for twenty years and was the second-ranking civilian (GS-14) in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence from 1988-1992. Steele is a former clandestine services case officer Central Intelligence Agency.[1] He is the founder and CEO of OSS.Net, Inc. as well as the Golden Candle Society.[2] Steele also was a member of the Adjunct Faculty of Marine Corps University in the mid-1990's. From Strategic Strategy Research Military site: ROBERT D. STEELE is a retired Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer. He is the founder and president of Open Source Solutions, Inc., and is an acknowledged expert on computer and information vulnerabilities. Mr. Steele holds graduate degrees in International Relations and Public Administration from Leigh University and the University of Oklahoma. He has also earned certificates in Intelligence Policy from Harvard University and in Defense Studies from the Naval War College. From Steele's Amazon review: It is with great sadness that I conclude that this book is the strongest of the 770+ books I have reviewed here at Amazon, almost all non-fiction. I am forced to conclude that 9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war (see my review of Jim Bamford's "Pretext for War"), and I am forced to conclude that there is sufficient evidence to indict (not necessarily convict) Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and others of a neo-conservative neo-Nazi coup d'etat and kick-off of the clash of civilizations (see my review of "Crossing the Rubicon" as well as "State of Denial"). Most fascinatingly, the author links Samuel Huntington, author of "Clash of Civilizations" with Leo Strauss, the connecting rod between Nazi fascists and the neo-cons. This is, without question, the most important modern reference on state-sponsored terrorism, and also the reference that most pointedly suggests that select rogue elements within the US Government, most likely led by Dick Cheney with the assistance of George Tenet, Buzzy Kronguard, and others close to the Wall Street gangs, are the most guilty of state-sponsored terrorism." <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/10/prweb451817.htm">www.prweb.com/releases/20...451817.htm</a>

Yeah, guys who know how the game is played recognize a big sacrifice play when they see one. Too bad their own histories... See this highly informative 90 minute video of a Webster Tarpley lecture from 4/1/06 in Seattle. 400 years of false-flag ops from Guy Fawkes on plus Gladio, Northwoods, 9/11, 7/7, many military exercises and how they too often go 'live,' an old trick long used. <a href="http://dragonsjaw.blogspot.com/2006/10/911-truth-webster-tarpley-speaks-in.html">dragonsjaw.blogspot.com/2...ks-in.html</a> Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=hughmanateewins>Hugh Manatee Wins</A> at: 10/20/06 11:36 am

"He is the founder and CEO of OSS.Net, Inc. as well as the Golden Candle Society." Golden Candle Society? It's mentioned <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Robert-David-Steele">here</a> in another Steele bio as a "non-profit," but I can find the term only in relation to an occult card game.

The "Golden Candle" is the award given to pioneers of open source intelligence (OSINT). These are available on Steele's site: <blockquote>Quote:<hr>Golden Candle Awards The open source intelligence revolution is a "bottom up" revolution, and an international revolution. It turns out--no one could have predicted this--that it was also the first necessary step in bringing the seven tribes of intelligence (national, military, business, law enforcement, academia, NGO-media, and religious) "in from the cold" to talk openly with one another about the need for dramatic changes in sources, methods, and the culture of intelligence. From this, aided by the Internet technical revolution has emerged "the new craft of intelligence." Each of the individuals and organizations listed below is part of this total story, with many more yet to be recognized. They are the heros, and to them go the honors. The list is in chronological order, from the first awards given in 1992 to the most recent just awarded in this year.<hr></blockquote> <a href="http://www.oss.net/extra/page/?action=page_show&id=151&module_instance=1">link</a> He sure gives out lots of them. It doesn't look as if any of these folks are connected to him (other than his wife....she gets a candle too), and may not even know he's awarded them this "honor." In any event, it's about the "deep web". Data mining and other techniques for using the open access web for intelligence. He doesn't mention the use of the web for disinformation....but these are the guys who would be doing that as well. In fact, if there is anyone out there who would be doing studies by putting out some little false but interesting conspiracy tidbit and tracking its spread across the web, this would be the guy. In fact...I imagine he's reading this now. Hi Robert! In a sample chapter of his book available on his site he outlines his plans. It's basically the TIA writ global. He wants a global open source intelligence organization that is associated with the UN. He has all the best motives, of course: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> Global Intelligence Burden-Sharing As a further aid to Presidential decision-making, I believe the time has come to create a Global Intelligence Council (GIC) and a Global Intelligence Organization (GIO). The Global Intelligence Council should be an international body responsive to the United Nations but not within its authority or budget, responsible for global intelligence policy and global decisions about burden-sharing with respect to open source collection, selected classified collection missions, and burden-sharing with respect to joint intelligence production activities of mutual interest. The prevention of genocide and mass atrocities, the reduction of trade in women and children, and the elimination of toxic dumping in Africa are all examples of worthy global intelligence projects. This body should be the focal point for orchestrating a matching $1 billion investment from all other nations into open source intelligence collection and production. The U.S. should commit to making the products from its own investments in open sources available to all those who providing matching funds, however modest, with the same expectation. Under this approach, and with the active participation of each of the theater commanders-in-chief with regional responsibilities, we would immediately implement "Global Coverage" with daily, weekly, and "as required" reporting spanning the full range of countries and topics represented in the Foreign Intelligence Requirements and Capabilities Plan (FIRCAP). This information, drawing on the considerable capabilities of selected private sector organizations such as Dow Jones Interactive, the Economist Intelligence Unit, and others, would be accessible by all participating or authorized individuals through the "extranet" that provides for information-sharing at multiple levels of security with an infinite variety of "by name" working groups. In addition, at some future date after trust and confidence has been gained in the Global Intelligence Council, there should be a Global Intelligence Organization. This should be an affiliated international body responsive to the GIC but never associated with the United Nations, responsible for overseeing, coordinating, and managing joint clandestine and technical endeavors that integrate—often in isolation from one another—covert capabilities made available by participating nations. At its best, the GIO will create and manage three international Stations—one in Pretoria focused on Africa, one in Santiago focused on Latin America, and one in Canberra focused on Asia. U.S. satellites, indigenous case officers, and combined US-UK-AUS and indigenous analysis teams will focus on those specific issues that are indisputably of common interest: terrorism, counter-proliferation, crime & narcotics, and trade in women and children, to name just four issues of universal concern.<hr></blockquote> From: ON INTELLIGENCE: Spies and Secrecy in an Open World—Chapter 13 I'm not completely sure what the dog drug in with this one..but I think it's important.

His wife is currently employed by the CIA as well. She'd better get a candle.

...when I started talking about the CIA coup (which is really rather fake as they are simply putting their own back into FORMAL power), but here comes Steele in all his OSS glory to scare us into a... McCain-HART(?).... coup. It's either that or better than even odds of nuclear destruction. <blockquote>Quote:<hr> Chances of Nuclear Event in USA Now Better Than 50-50 With sadness, we conclude that the chance of one or more nuclear events in the USA has gone to better than 50-50. In combination, the unilateral militarism of the Bush-Cheney regime and the possibilities of their actually carrying out an attack on Iran, oblivious to all the reasons why this is an incredibly stupid thing to do--and the growing signs that Bin Laden in now ready to carry out his next attack (generally he makes big moves 5 to 7 years apart)--cause us to believe that one or more nuclear events, and especially in Washington, D.C. and New York City, but perhaps San Francisco and Los Angeles or Houston and Chicago, are now a better than 50-50 chance in the next year. The first link is a warning from an individual associated with Paul Williams, whose book, Osama's Revenge, we reviewed. That review is reprinted below. There is absolutely no question in our mind that Bin Laden has a nuclear capability and that in combination, Pakistani, Russian, and Iranian nulcear experts have "refreshed" and made operational at least two devices suitable for onsite detonation. The second link allows you to buy iodine pills and provides the basic precautionary measures that we are taking, and that we recommend. Your kids should be carrying four days supply of pills with them, and know that if an event occurs, they need to go as deep down in their school as possible, into a back corner, and simply survive for three days and expect Mom or Dad on the 4th day. Let others panic and expose themselves. Stay put and go deep. We were in error to think that we could have an orderly voluntary transition away from the Bush-Cheney regime. It now appears that the Congress needs to carefully evaluate a demand that the President and Vice President resign in favor of a bi-partisan McCain-Hart team that can evacuate our forces from the Middle East as quickly as possible. Bin Laden offered us a truce, this would be a real good time to take him seriously. St. <a href="http://www.oss.net/extra/news/?module_instance=1&id=2731">link</a><hr></blockquote> Notice the interesting phrasing. Not that Congress impeach but that they demand Bush and Cheney resign. Then he calls for an extra-constitutional appointment of a new pres and vice pres. Maybe my civics is a bit off, here. I know the president can appoint a new veep, but when both are gone, I assume the chain of command just goes down the same way it would had they both died. Meanwhile, what he does not mention is what happens if Bush refuses to step down.

DE, Theres an old saying that goes, In order to go forewards, we sometimes have to take a step backwards. Just listening to RBN radio - The Webster Tarpley slot, and he is giving huge thanks to Steele for plugging his book 9/11 synthetic terror, which courtesy of this review has evidently sold out this week at Amazon. Whilst, to youre average Joe, this info is likely frighten the shit out of your average guy to begin with(as indeed it did me when I realised that 9/11 wasnt 19 arabs), we need to start somewhere. If this is the some kind of CIA doublebluff, then I want a thousand such folks as far as Im concerned.
