True, we do have a new CIA head, former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, etc, and there's been more than one resignation of this post in the
past four years; however, my interests lie in why it was reported 2 days after a small news source broke this story.
What's to hide? Is it not big enough a story to cover? I realize there are bigger stories happening right now, Amy Winehouse's death, what you can
do to beat the summer heat, etc, but seriously, it was kept hidden, or the entire global news corporations are conspiring to not do this story-a
highly unlikely, although not impossible reason.
I still find only magazines, and small news sources reporting this, actually re-reporting this I should say. There was a huge spike in google search
results after a matter of minutes (from 3k to about 400k results found) when this thread was posted, and with the organic ranking google does, and the
trending of it making headlines in small news outlets, online magazines interested in articles, you think with the math involved, by this time it
would have doubled at least; however, it's actually turning up LESS results found, about 2k less than what it was this morning.
When was the last time you googled breaking news of this proportion (abrupt resignation of our leader of cybersecurity for the United States of
America, and Above Top Secret was on the first page of results, much less being in the top FIVE pages?)
Another weird things, is the poverty of ideas, and lack of input this has with all the conspiracy minded folk, and great imagineers and detectives of
conspiracy theories. I guess it's just not that interesting, or it is, but no one wants to say anything.
I admit, I have nothing to contribute, other than maybe a theory about a super-bot net distributing a "skynet" virus, but other than that, I
primarily wanted to see what others thought, and there are a lot of really good researchers of information on ATS, but apparently not a lot of
research to find.
Maybe I will research Mr. Randy Vickers, and see if I can think of any possibilities based on any ties to anything in his past which could produce
better theories as to the sudden, and as of now, "mysterious" resignation, right in the middle of a digital cyber-war. If you think a war of the
machines isn't happening, then you aren't following the fighters.
The government isn't so flaunting of it's cyber warriors, but the opposition is flamboyant, and bragadocious-they should be I guess, unless it's a
psy-ops, and the cyberwarfare isn't "really" happening, but the Assange trial says otherwise.
Mr. Vicker's retiring is like the President resigning in the middle of a war, and not giving any explanation. If I were resigning, and president of
the U.S. it's because I would be heading to the hills...running away, or to something.
Is he running? Is he hiding? Was it stress, or a disagreement? It needs to be investigated.
I've got my keystroke shovel ready to dig, and any explanation or theory dug up is appreciated.
I'm tired, and gonna watch a movie. I'll find out, and maybe the world, more tomorrow.
A quick search for Randy Vickers reveals on his linked in account, tells us he is a Texan (one thing about Texans, they're very patriotic, and pretty
much anti-government, just look at the Governor-he tried to have Texas
secede from the Union!), a graduate of Texas A&M, and besides showing companies, networks, a single individual, a Miss Shon Harris is the only
"person" in his linked in account.
Here's a video from youtube she did for Logical Security:
Shon Harris is the owner, and president of
www.logicalsecurity.com... and says on her company's website, she is a former instructor, author, and
engineer for the Air Force's Information Warfare Unit.
A quick google search for Air Force Information Warfare Unit returns this wiki entry:
en.wikipedia.org...
The 177th Information Warfare Aggressor Squadron is a unit of the Kansas Air National Guard. Its parent unit is the 184th Intelligence Wing.
A unit of the Kansas Air National Guard? ...weird. then I'll take you to the 184th Intel Wing wiki page:
en.wikipedia.org...
The United States Air Force's 184th Intelligence Wing is located at McConnell AFB, Kansas. It is one of three Air National Guard wings that works
with the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency.
Wichita, KS. I know, my father was stationed there in the mid-seventies, he died this past year of cancer, he did tell me, as did my mom, they used to
go out near the air strip and watch for "triangle" shaped UFOs. My dad was a scifi kinda guy, so between that, it being the seventies, and him
poking smot, who knows if he was kidding, or just boned to the stone. Not really relevant I guess, but thought I'd add it, it was a memory I had
sparked when I saw the AFB name out of KS. I was born there, right on the base as a matter of fact.
Mission Intelligence gathering, information protection, threat deterrence The 184th Intelligence Wing encompasses a variety of missions at the
federal, state, and community levels. 1. Federal: providing combat support for our nation—Guardsmen from our wing provide wartime support in the
form of collecting and analyzing intelligence. Some unit members deploy overseas to augment active duty forces. 2. State: support to civil
authority—The unit's primary responsibility is to the state of Kansas to assist civil authorities during natural disasters and civil strife in our
state. 3. Community—Members of the 184th add value to our local communities by holding an annual science and technology camp for local kids (called
STARBASE), hosting games of the Kansas Special Olympics, and volunteering in various charitable activities.
now, for McConnell (good irish/scott name, lol) AFB:
Global War On Terror After the September 11 attacks in 2001, the 22d initially deployed jets in support of Operation Noble Eagle. Before the end of
the year, McConnell tankers were sent to Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Southwest Asia and other locations to support Operation Enduring Freedom.
not so tired, beginning to wake up after reading this article on "Operation Noble Eagle"
Operation Noble Eagle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Joint NATO & U.S. AWACS service badge for Noble Eagle & Eagle Assist Operation Noble
Eagle (ONE) is the name given to military operations related to homeland security and support to federal, state, and local agencies. The ongoing
operation began 14 September 2001, in response to the 11 September terrorist attacks, although it is believed this operation simply earned its name
after 14 September 2001, and began much earlier.[1] Contents [hide] 1 History 1.1 Requirement 2 Equipment 3 Canadian NORAD Region

personnel to perform security missions on military installations, airports and other potential targets such as bridges, power plants, and port
facilities.These reservists were called to active duty under a mobilization authority known as a Partial Mobilization (10 USC 12302). In time of a
national emergency declared by the President, Partial Mobilization authorizes the President to order members of the Ready Reserve to active duty for a
period not to exceed 24 consecutive months. Additionally, in 2001 and 2002, thousands of members of the National Guard were activated at the order of
their respective governors to provide additional security at airports. They were called up under Title 32 of the U.S. Code, which means they were
under state control, but with federal pay and benefits.[1] Canadian Forces Air Force assisted in providing defense of the northern border of the
United States. Active Duty Army Military Police were sent to Washington D.C. to protect the Capital Building and White House under command and control
of the 759th Military Police Battalion.
wow. now there's a bit to chew on, but it's all "linked in"
Thoughts?
