CIA intelligence officer sheds light on conspiracy theories

Don't think this way. We are making a difference. In case you haven't noticed, the revolution is happening.

People are waking up. The american electorate is a sleeping giant that when woken up is going to be very very angry.

Look at yourself. Did you ever think of getting rid of the Federal Reserve or CIA until recently? More and more people are coming to the same realization everyday.

Change cannot occur without pain. Until it becomes more painful to do nothing, things don't change. The question is how much pain is required to bring about real change?

How many people must go bankrupt? How many kids must die in unjust wars? How much heroin must the CIA import before more people say enough is enough?

By visualizing change, YOU CAN MANIFEST IT. JUST BY THINKING ABOUT A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION, IT WILL HAPPEN.

Fairly interesting vids. Though I have to wonder Robert Steele gave a talk at the Last Hope in '08. I take it that means he's no longer doing anything in the actual intelligence community? As far as I'm aware all the people who have given talks at the various HOPE conferences are usually freelance security experts or part of the commercial industry with no current connection to government.

Here is a great article from early '09 about everything MindWar related

MindWar: How Military PsyOps Plan to Control Your Mind

Indeed, according to both Ronson and The New Yorker writer Jane Mayer, many of the torture techniques employed at Guantanamo Bay, at Abu Ghraib, and at such less-well-known locales as al-Qa-im near the Syrian border in Iraq, are based on Channon and Alexander's non-lethal schemes, but with lethal consequences in some cases. Ronson confirmed that a facility at al-Qa-im was conducting "interrogations" of captured Iraqi insurgents, after playing, non-stop, for days at a time, the theme song from Barney the Purple Dinosaur, "I Love You." Ronson is convinced that the music was a cover for subliminal frequencies, very high- or very low-frequency sounds that affect brain functioning, to break prisoners' resistance. The prisoners were kept in metal shipping containers in the scorching sun, blindfolded and in crouching positions, surrounded by barbed wire, with the music (and subliminals) blaring. In an article published in the July 11-18, 2005 issue of The New Yorker, Mayer revealed that Special Forces psychologists from the Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) program at the JFK Special Warfare School at Fort Bragg had been brought to Guantanamo Bay, to oversee interrogation strategies. The SERE psychologists formed a core of the Behavioral Science Consultation Teams (BSCT, or "Biscuits") that "reverse engineered" the techniques that were used on Special Forces soldiers, to train them to survive enemy torture/interrogations, as part of the advanced special warfare program at Fort Bragg. Jim Channon confirmed, in another e-mail exchange with author Ronson, that many of the ideas adopted by the Army Intelligence interrogators at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and al-Qa-im came right out of his First Earth Battalion blueprint. 'Living Embodiment' of First Earth Battalion At one point in his probe of the military's spoon-benders, author Jon Ronson asked Stuart Heller, the friend of Marilyn Ferguson and Jim Channon, if he could name one soldier who was "the living embodiment" of the First Earth Battalion. Without a second thought, Heller replied: "Bert Rodriguez." "Bert's one of the most spiritual guys I've ever met," Heller told Ronson. "No. Spiritual is the wrong word. He's occultic. He's like a walking embodiment of death. He can stop you at a distance. He can influence physical events just with his mind. If he catches your attention he can stop you without touching you." As Jon Ronson reported, "In April 2001, Bert Rodriguez took on a new student. His name was Ziad Jarrah. Ziad just turned up at the US 1 Fitness Center one day and said he had heard that Bert was good. Why Ziad chose Bert, of all the martial arts instructors scattered around the Florida shoreline, is a matter of speculation. Maybe Bert's uniquely occultic reputation preceded him, or perhaps it was Bert's military connections. Plus, Bert had once taught the head of security for a Saudi prince. Maybe that was it." Ziad Jarrah presented himself as a Lebanese businessman, who traveled a great deal and wanted to protect himself. "I liked Ziad a lot," Rodriguez later told Ronson. "He was very humble, very quiet. He was in good shape. Very diligent." Rodriguez taught Jarrah "the choke hold and the kamikaze spirit. You need a code you'd die for, a do-or-die desire." Rodriguez added, "Ziad was like Luke Skywalker. You know when Luke walks the invisible path? You have to believe it's there. And if you do believe it it is there. Yeah, Ziad believed it. He was like Luke Skywalker." Rodriguez trained Ziad Jarrah for six months, and gave him copies of several knife-fighting books he had written. Jarrah shared them with a friend, Marwan al-Shehhi, who boarded with him at the Panther Motel and Apartments in Deerfield Beach, Fla. On Sept. 11, 2001, Ziad Jarrah took control of United Airlines flight 93, and crashed it in a field in Pennsylvania. Marwan al-Shehhi commandeered United Airlines flight 175 and crashed it into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan.

It doesnt even matter what he says....its gonna sit here on ats...and we as always wont do anything about it. We just want our paycheck and our tv....nothing is going to change.

I bash Obama because he is a righty pretending with a lot of smooth talk & masses of gullible people that he is a lefty.

Healthcare reform?

Corporate welfare on steroids.

No Universal care,
No Single payer insurer,
Not even the fig leaf of a public option,

& Mandates to force people to buy insurance from the very thugs who are at the heart of the problem & subsidies to be funneled to them?

& the big Pharma give-away?

it is really sick,
& it absolutely ISN'T 'reform' in any way shape or form.

Awesome vid OP thank you
