Here are some choice parts of Steve Watson's new article: ================================= This is an open admission that it is the Pentagon that has released this tape and not Al Qaeda. this dovetails with our previous analysis that revealed that the footage has been seen before in a docudrama, the Road to Guantanamo, where it is shown to detainees at camp Delta as an intelligence surveillance tape. Along with experts on Islamic terrorist groups who are baffled by the video and have declared that it has come from a security agency, the very journalist who received the tape also says the source was not Al Qaeda. It is also interesting that this journalist, Yousri Fouda is not only a Sunday Times journalist but also the London Bureau Chief of Al Jazeera. He is the guy who normally breaks all the Al Qaeda tapes anyway, so really the London Times connection is just a smokescreen. All evidence indicates that the tapes are provided to Fouda and Al Jazeera by As Sahab, the "production company" of Al Qaeda, via a group known as Intelcenter, who also SELL the videos online. <img src="http://infowars.net/pictures/Oct06/051006intelcenter.jpg"/> Intelcenter normally have the tapes available for sale as soon as they are released, indeed in the past they have even predicted when they are going to get a tape before it is released, as they did with the second London bomber tape on the anniversary of 7/7. Intel center is run by Ben Venzke, who is an interesting character. A google search results in the revelation that he used to be the director of intelligence at a company called IDEFENSE, which is a verisign company. IDEFENSE is a web security company that monitors intelligence from the middle east conflicts and focuses on cyber threats among other things. It is also heavily populated with long serving ex military intelligence officials. The Director of Threat intelligence, Jim Melnick, served 16 years in the US army and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and worked in psychological operations. From the IDEFENSE website: Prior to joining iDefense, Mr. Melnick served with distinction for more than 16 years in the U.S. Army and the Defense Intelligence Agency. During this period, Mr. Melnick served in a variety of roles, including psychological operations, international warning issues with emphasis on foreign affairs and information operations and Russian affairs. He also served in active political/military intelligence roles with an emphasis on foreign affairs. Mr. Melnick is currently a U.S. Army Reserve Colonel with Military Intelligence, assigned to the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Mr. Melnick has been published in numerous military and foreign affairs journals, and has received numerous military and DIA awards. Mr. Melnick has a Master of Arts in National Security and Strategic Studies from the U.S. Naval War College, a Master of Arts in Russian studies from Harvard University, and a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Political Science from Westminster College. So here we have a company that by it's own admission has a senior military psy-op intelligence officer who has worked directly for Donald Rumsfeld. As Intelcenter and Ben Venzke are directly connected to IDEFENSE, this puts Rumsfeld 3 small steps away from the Al Qaeda propaganda videos. The NBC "US analysis" should be the focus of the latest tape and not the Times articles. It is an astounding piece of psyop propaganda that attempts in a shoddy way to fill in the "gaps" in 9/11 intelligence. The analyst, Evan Coleman, after admitting that the Pentagon has been "sitting on it" goes on to say: "It is important for people to watch and realize that this video is conclusive proof that 9/11 was orchestrated by Al Qaeda at the most senior levels." He then makes a direct assault on the 9/11 truth movement by saying: "This is the kind of video proof that is going to put a lot of 9/11 conspiracy theorists out in the cold and for good reason." <a href="http://infowars.net/articles/October2006/051006Rumsfeld.htm">infowars.net/articles/October2006/051006Rumsfeld.htm</a> Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=onoi812>OnoI812</A> at: 10/5/06 10:53 pm

Well Mr. Arkin, it's not about catching terrorists but managing terror in the most profitable manner. It's about selling off lunky government to private, unaccountable interests with vice replication for sale to the highest bidder. That way, no one is accountable, everyone profits and a global security market order comes closer to reality. It's the corporate world steadily downsizing the de facto power of government. No bid crony contracts, revolving door private CEO politicians & former .gov's in business, and rigged elections via private machines. This new mil-intel "cottage industry" is not so much "feeding at the trough" as much as laying facts on the ground, setting precedents, and irreversibly entrenching the already nasty operations of government in a corporate-driven model. <blockquote>Quote:<hr>Counter-Terrorism Profiteers, With Your Money by William M. Arkin April 21, 2006 blogs.washingtonpost.com A National Counter-terrorism Center and a Director of National Intelligence with ever greater authority. An FBI Terrorist Screening Center that can reach far and wide to local law enforcement. The Defense Intelligence Agency’s Joint Task Force for Counter-Terrorism and a Counterintelligence Field Activity at the Defense Department. And of course a Department of Homeland Security and its military counter-part the U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM). Broken stovepipes of information, a PATRIOT act, actionable intelligence out the whazoo. Post 9/11, the government argues - it doesn’t even have to argue, it is just assumed – that the intelligence and law enforcement nexus has never been closer, that warnings are so seamless and complete if anything most people worry that the government has too much information, not too little. No potential terrorist is going to sneak through this new system, no government agency is ever going to go wanting for more information. So it just burns me up this week to see a prominent military command preparing to pay a private company to provide it with terrorist warnings. This week U.S. Air Force Space Command, a major command headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO, issued a solicitation called "Terrorism Threat Research" (thanks MS) saying that it was planning to license a "terrorism research database" to receive "real-time" warnings via pager, cell phone, and PDA. The database is produced by IntelCenter, one of a cottage industry that has sprung up since the early 1990’s to feed at the counter-terrorism trough. According to the group’s website, the IntelCenter’s “primary client base is comprised of military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the US and other allied countries around the world." Space Command wants to obtain 20 licenses to the IntelCenter’s U.S. Government Terrorism Threat Intelligence Package ($1650.00 per license according to the IntelCenter website). This database, according to Space Command, includes "weekly and or real time email notifications of all significant terrorist, rebel group and other related activity, including bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, significant dates, threats and organizational changes within groups." IntelCenter will also provide warnings relating to "developments concerning intelligence agencies around the world including operational issues, organizational developments, new initiatives, espionage trials, new technologies and other related issues." And finally, IntelCenter will receive "real-time dissemination of raw statements, fatwas, announcements, and other messages directly from terrorist, rebel, extremist, and other organizations themselves." The immediate question is: isn’t this what all of these new “long war” commands and reorganized and beefed-up intelligence agencies with all of their new databases and data mining and authorities supposed to do? Okay, by government standards, $32,000 annually is petty cash. But there must be dozens of additional agencies and commands buying the IntelCenter product and hundreds if not thousands of licenses paid for with your and my tax dollars. Everyone senses that we have a contractor crisis in our national security community, too many contractors acting like wild west prospectors in Iraq and the Middle East, contractors doing what we used to think of as "mission essential" jobs in headquarters and agencies. More power -- and money -- to IntelCenter for turning al Qaeda into a business; I'm sure their product and work are excellent. But it makes you wonder what the tens of thousands of government employees working in U.S. intelligence agencies actually do. It makes you wonder why it could be that if this information is so useful to Space Command and the government that it shouldn’t be provided by our $40 billion intelligence community directly.<hr></blockquote> <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=ARK20060421&articleId=2309">www.globalresearch.ca/ind...cleId=2309</a> Ah the good old days when governments and militaries and intelligence agencies merely did the bidding of Big Business (United Fruit, Standard Oil). The trend now is that Corporations and Private Outfits (Rendon Group, Choicepoint, L3, Lockheed, IntelCenter, Wackenhut and many, many others) are slowly becoming the government, with interlocking private equity firms, think tanks and big banks acting as The Coordinators of the ruling elite. The trans-national sociopathic character of markets, corporations and secret societies does not bode well for national interests or people interests, sovereignty, autonomy, or dignity in the long run.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>The trans-national sociopathic character of markets, corporations and secret societies does not bode well for national interests or people interests, sovereignty, autonomy, or dignity in the long run.<hr></blockquote> Couldn't agree more Gouda. One slightly spooky bit of weirdness about Intelcentre is their symbol, Its not a swastika, but ... (nothing wrng with swastikas btw, every culture on earth probably uses them, they are definitely found on every continent.) If anything it reminds me of the symbol of some Africaans nationalist party from the 80s, that I saw on the telly once or twiice. OH and its kind or like the fractal alien image from that tv show "Threshold". That is quite spooky. Great product line they have. I'm not gonna post a link to intelcentre here, (just indulging my paranoia <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"> ) but you can google it and go there to see what it looks like if you want. By the way they spell center with an "er" not the way I did.
