Roland Carnaby story with updates

http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/

April 30, 2008 -- BREAKING NEWS. UPDATED 4X. CIA agent gunned down
by Houston police

Houston police shot and killed Roland Vincent Carnaby, 52, the local
Houston chapter president of the Association for Intelligence
Officers (AFIO). AFIO is a membership organization of current and
former U.S. intelligence officers, primarily those who work or
worked for the CIA and military intelligence agencies. AFIO's
national board includes President George H. W. Bush who is honorary
chairman. The honorary board also includes Shirley Temple Black,
Frank Carlucci, former National Security Agency (NSA) director Gen.
Lincoln Faurer, former NSA director and CIA deputy director Bobby
Ray Inman, former CIA and FBI director William Webster, and former
CIA director James Woolsey. The chairman of the active board is M.
E. "Spike" Bowman, the former head of the FBI's National Security
Law Unit and the person who denied the Minneapolis FBI office a
special warrant to search Zacarias Moussaoui's belongings prior to
the 9/11 attacks.

Details about the shooting remain cloudy, but local Houston veterans
of AFIO are discounting the Houston police's portrayal of the events
that led to Carnaby's shooting death. Although Carnaby described
himself as a federal intelligence but was never specific about his
actual employer. According to the Houston Chronicle, Carnaby mentioned
in the past the CIA and Department of Homeland Security. The CIA
denied any connection to Carnaby.

Fred Platt, the Vice President of the Houston AFIO chapter, said
Carnaby's job was so classified, Houston police homicide detectives
will come up blank when they run his name. Platt said Carnaby's job
involved homeland security and it involved Houston's airports and
the port of Houston.

In what is being described as a case worthy of an episode of the
"X Files" television show, the FBI in Houston, the Harris County
Sheriff, and the Houston Police Chief are all denying knowing
Carnaby. The denials are absurd considering Carnaby led the premier
organization that brought together Houston's intelligence and law
enforcement communities for professional and social events. In fact,
Carnaby would have been presiding over the Spring 2008 dinner of
Houston's AFIO chapter in a few weeks. Scheduled to speak are Michael
Scheuer, the former head of the CIA's "Alex Station" that targeted
Osama Bin Laden; Arthur R. Bland III, the Special Agent in Charge
of the FBI's Houston Division, who spent nineteen months in Iraq
prior to his arrival in Houston; and Carlos J. Barron, FBI Assistant
Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Counter Terrorism Intelligence
Group, (CTIG) Houston Division, an FBI Joint Task Force (JTIF)
initiative with the CIA. For the FBI and CIA to deny they knew
Carnaby is laughable on its face.

Carnaby was said to have traveled frequently for his job. Carnaby
used two different UPS Store mailboxes as addresses for his driver's
license and his Jeep registration. Houston police reported that
Carnaby was shot by two Houston police officers Tuesday morning
around 11:30 am after a high-speed chase by the Houston police. The
Chronicle reported that Carnaby sped off after being stopped for a
routine traffic stop and after officers learned that Carnaby has a
concealed weapons permit. The Houston police officers said they
fired after seeing Carnaby reach under his seat. They said they
feared for their lives.

Platt said Carnaby was engaged to be married and had no reason to
run from the police. Police said they initially found no weapons
in Carnaby's Jeep but said later they found two pistols and a shot
gun and one was within reach of the subject. WMR has learned from
US intelligence sources in Houston that the weapons were planted
in Carnaby's Jeep after the vehicle was impounded by Houston police.

WMR has also learned that Carnaby possessed knowledge of something
the Bush administration or Israel did not want made public and that
the "hit" on Carnaby involved Israeli Mossad agents operating in
Houston.

Story developing.

Background on AFIO from its website:

"During the 1970s the Intelligence Community was buffeted by a
number of leaks and revelations, culminating in the Church and Pike
Congressional investigations. CIA officer David Atlee Phillips took
early retirement in 1975 to respond to the growing sentiment that
the CIA was a 'rogue elephant.' As part of this effort, Phillips
founded this organization, known then as the Association of Retired
Intelligence Officers (ARIO). Although much attacked at the time
when many people called for the dismantlement of the CIA, Phillips
toured the world to speak out in favor of the need for a strong
intelligence community. He was subsequently personally accused of
being a participant in the Kennedy and Letelier assassinations. He
successfully sued several publications for libel, retractions were
issued and monetary damages awarded. Phillips donated some of these
proceeds to ARIO for the purpose of creating a legal defense fund
for American intelligence officers who felt they were the victims
of libel.

In 1978 the name of the organization was changed to Association of
Former Intelligence Officers to reflect a pool of members who were
not necessarily retired, which widened the pool of eligible members,
and in 2006 the acronym AFIO was changed to stand for Association
For Intelligence Officers to reflect the current dynamic membership.
From its inception in Dave Phillips living room and a few hundred
members in 1975, AFIO has grown to over 5000 members, with 24 active
chapters across the United States."

UPDATE 1: WMR has learned from a reliable source that Houston has
become a major station for Mossad activities, especially in
warehousing, retail sales, aviation, and shipping. Carnaby was
looking at the security for the Port of Houston and the area's
airports. Local Houston news reports indicate Carnaby was trying
to call the Houston FBI on his cell phone to have them verify his
identity with the police when the police shot him to death.

UPDATE 2: Houston-based CIA agent Roland Carnaby was shot and killed
by Houston police less than six blocks away from the home of former
President George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush.

UPDATE 3: KPRC-TV Houston is now reporting that Roland Carnaby's
credentials discovered by Houston police investigators show that
he was a CIA intelligence officer. Carnaby apparently used more
than one CIA-issued alias, including "Tom." A top CIA official is
reportedly on his way to Houston to verify Carnaby's CIA credentials.
Houston police are now saying that Carnaby was reaching for his
cell phone, not a weapon, was he was shot by the police.

UPDATE 4: WMR's earlier report that Carnaby's death involved Mossad
assets in Houston is now gaining additional credence as some
well-known blogs, linked to right-wing Jewish political and
intelligence operations in the United States and Israel, are now
beginning the predictable character assassination of Carnaby as a
"fraud" and a "former" U.S. intelligence agent. WMR has learned
that Carnaby was targeted by Mossad in a high-stakes game of
tit-for-tat since the CIA and FBI went after long-time Israeli agent
Ben-Ami Kadish last week in New Jersey and vowed to identify, expose,
and prosecute other Israeli moles in high positions inside the Bush
administration.

May 5, 2008 -- Carnaby CIA status confirmed

Although two CIA spokesmen have stated that Roland Carnaby, the
retired CIA agent who ran a private intelligence firm in Houston
contracted to the CIA, was not an employee of the the agency, a
Middle East source with close connections to the CIA's clandestine
service has told WMR that Carnaby was, in fact, a longtime CIA agent
with an extensive network in the Middle East and Europe.

It is apparent that CIA director Michael Hayden, a longtime parrot
for the neocons while serving as director of the National Security
Agency (NSA) and deputy Director of National Intelligence under
John Negroponte, is now pressuring his agency to distance itself
from a former clandestine services officer who served in the same
capacity as a contractor. Two CIA spokesmen who have denied any
connections to Carnaby are George Little and Paul Gimigliano.

In addition, WMR has learned that Carnaby may have been silenced
partly because of his knowledge of a major CIA intelligence source
inside Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office. WMR has previously
reported that there is an intense street war now raging between the
CIA and FBI on one hand and the Mossad and their assets in
Russian-Israeli organized crime on the other.

There is a possibility that one or more Israeli intelligence moles
inside the CIA are responsible for the trashing of Carnaby's status
and bona fides.

May 6, 2008 -- The Middle East firestorm was to have started on
April 25

WMR has learned from its Middle East intelligence sources that a
leak from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office
resulted in the last minute scuttling of an Israeli intelligence
operation in Beirut that would have started a series of events that
would have likely resulted in the outbreak of warfare between Israel
and Lebanon, Syria, and possibly, between Iran and the United States.

Israel's Mossad planned an April 25 assassination, likely by its
favorite method, a massive car bomb, of Lebanese Hezbollah leader
Hassan Nasrallah. Because the assassination would have triggered
the "perfect storm" for the outbreak of war in Lebanon, with the
involvement of Israel, the United States, Syria, and Iran, an
official in Olmert's office leaked the assassination plan. When it
became apparent that there was a leak, Mossad scuttled the entire
operation.

The plan was immediately known by the CIA and Hezbollah. It is known
that retired CIA officer and contractor Roland Carnaby, a
Lebanese-American, had close contact with all of Lebanon's various
factions. On April 29, four days after the planned assassination
of Nasrallah by Mossad, Carnaby was killed in broad daylight by
Houston police. WMR previously reported that Carnaby had successfully
penetrated a Mossad ring active in the Houston area.

It is clear that Israel would not have carried out the Nasrallah
assassination without the knowledge and approval of the neocon cell
operating from Vice President Dick Cheney's office and extending
to elements of the U.S. Air Force, CIA, and other federal agencies.

Nasrallah's assassination by Israel would have resulted in a massive
Hezbollah strike on Israel and, possibly, through Moqtada al Sadr's
forces in Iraq, on U.S. troops in that country. The outbreak of
massive violence between U.S. and Sh'ia forces in Iraq may have
laid the groundwork for a U.S. strike on alleged training camps in
Iran and other targets of opportunity.

WMR has also obtained a copy of the civil suit filed by Carnaby's
widow, Susan Carnaby, against the City of Houston for the wrongful
death of her husband.

May 13, 2008 -- Carnaby subjected to character assassination campaign

WMR has discovered that CIA officer Roland Carnaby, gunned down in
an assassination by Houston police on April 29, has been the subject
of a concerted character assassination campaign carried out by
Israeli agents of influence in the Houston Police Department; the
Houston Chronicle, a Hearst-owned newspaper; and NBC News in New
York.

Individuals linked to a major Israeli intelligence operation that
was targeted by Carnaby and his team of contract investigators have
falsely claimed to have had a close relationship with Carnaby in
an effort to discredit him. One individual involved in establishing
the bona fides of a Carnaby "close associate" was fired by the CIA
after being accused of passing classified information to Israeli
intelligence agents in Washington, DC.

It is apparent that the Israeli espionage ring targeted by Carnaby
extended into the CIA itself. Israeli moles have flourished within
the agency under the directorships of Porter Goss and retiring Air
Force General Michael Hayden, who will stay on as director after
hanging up his uniform in July.

WMR has also learned that the two pistols and a shotgun allegedly
found by Houston police in Carnaby's Jeep Commander after it was
impounded were "drop guns." Drop guns are a hallmark of the Houston
police, which often plants hard-to-trace weapons on the victims of
police shootings.

WMR has also learned of unprecedented secrecy involving the official
Houston police report on carnaby's shooting. Even the basic police
blotter information normally released to the media is being treated
as "secret" in the Carnaby killing.

May 14, 2008 -- SPECIAL REPORT. CIA agent kept Mossad "close"

WMR has obtained a copy of the Houston Police Offense Report on the
April 29 shooting death by two Houston police officers of Roland
Carnaby, a retired CIA officer who was contracted to the agency.

The police report lists Carnaby's address as 1302 Waugh Drive,
Number 475, Houston. The address is a UPS Store and 475 is a mail
box number. WMR discovered the address was for Carnaby's non-official
cover (NOC) firm, Carnaby Shipping Company, Ltd. Carnaby's security
work with the CIA and Houston's Joint Terrorism Task Force involved
the Port of Houston and Houston area airports. Carnaby maintained
two mail boxes at the UPS Store and, according to knowledgeable
sources, Carnaby's widow has requested that they be kept open.

Carnaby's company used a mail box at UPS Store also the location
of a real estate development and management firm named Braun
Enterprises.

WMR has also discovered that Carnaby, also known as "Tony," was not
only close to former CIA director George Tenet but had cultivated
close ties to members of Israel's Mossad. According to a colleague,
Carnaby said he maintained contact with Mossad agents because he
believed in "keeping one's friends close, but one's enemies even
closer."

A copy of Tenet's book contained an inscription by Tenet to "Tony"
that was verified as Tenet's signature and handwriting.

According to a US intelligence source, there was also a concerted
effort by Carnaby's enemies to tarnish his image and bona fides in
a "carefully orchestrated effort" to create a false CIA persona in
order to damage Carnaby's own actual record as an agent.

WMR has learned that the discrediting of Carnaby involves a Kingwood,
Texas resident named Alan Premel who claimed to have served as a
CIA agent in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans where he claimed
to have fought "Chechens." WMR has been told by an associate of
Carnaby that the murdered agent never knew Premel.

However, there are references to an interview, not confirmed as
authentic, between Premel and NBC News' investigative reporter Adam
Ciralsky, a former employee of the CIA's General Counsel's office
who was terminated by the agency in October 1997 for flunking two
polygraph examinations, failing to report a trip to Israel, and,
as claimed by Ciralsky, for his involvement with Jewish causes and
relationships with dual U.S.-Israeli citizens. In May 2004, the FBI
wiretapped a phone conversation in May 2004 between convicted Israeli
Pentagon spy Larry Franklin, who was found guilty of passing
classified information to two American Israel Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC) officials, Keith Weissman and Steven Rosen. Ciralsky told
Salon.com that he felt he was caught up in a US government sting
designed to ferret out an Israeli agent code-named "Mega" discovered
in an intercepted Israeli diplomatic cable.

The Ciralsky lawsuit eventually resulted in sensitivity training
being administered to CIA counter-intelligence personnel. The
training was administered by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL),
implicated in the past in targeting innocent Arab-Americans with
illegal intelligence gathering and surveillance. The surveillance
included Lebanese-Americans. Carnaby was a Lebanese-American.

Ciralsky eventually sued the CIA and FBI for wrongful termination
and Tenet was named as a defendant. Ciralsky retained Neal Sher, a
former federal prosecutor and executive director of AIPAC, as his
attorney. Ciralsky later became an investigative reporter for CBS
60 Minutes and NBC News' Dateline.

Carnaby's widow has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for
Southern Texas in Houston against the City of Houston and Houston
police officers Cecil Foster and Andrew J. Washington for the
shooting death of Carnaby. The complaint states that Carnaby "died
of a gunshot would to the back which caused fatal loss of blood."

May 15, 2008 -- CIA agent was monitoring Israeli finances

WMR has learned that Roland V. Carnaby, the longtime CIA veteran
and President of the Houston chapter of the Association for
Intelligence Officers (AFIO), was involved in monitoring Israeli
firms moving money and goods in and out of Israel.

Carnaby was gunned down in an April 29 "hit" by Houston police
officers. WMR has also learned that the Houston Police Department
originally misidentified one of the policemen involved in Carnaby's
slaying as "Charles Foster." It was later discovered that Charles
Foster was actually Cecil Foster. A Charles Foster had previously
retired from the Houston police force.

Carnaby was also working with the Joint Terrorism Task Force in
Houston, as well as the CIA's Counter-terrorism Center (CTC) in
attempting to beef up security for the Port of Houston. Carnaby,
WMR has learned, was involved in conducting security surveys of the
port and discovered that the Department of Homeland Security had
tolerated gaping holes in port security.

Carnaby and Houston intelligence and law enforcement personnel were
also investigating the presence of "Middle Easterners" who were
conducting surveillance of the Port of Houston. The "Middle Eastern"
designator is the term used by the FBI for Israelis in order to
avoid "political" problems with superiors.

The word from the federal agents who were involved in identifying
weaknesses in Houston port security is they did not want to see
"another 9/11-type part false flag."

WMR has also learned that Carnaby was a longtime player in Houston
area intelligence matters and had established a close relationship
with former President George H. W. Bush. However, WMR has also
learned that the elder Bush's mental acuity is being affected by
the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease.

WMR has also learned that Carnaby's Lebanese family, which used the
original spelling of Karnabe, is very well-respected by different
political and religious factions in the country. WMR has also learned
that Carnaby had stumbled across some significant intelligence
impacting the overall situation in the Middle East and that at the
time of his death Carnaby wanted the intelligence to personally
reach CIA director Michael Hayden without delay. WMR has been asked
for assistance by US intelligence sources in Lebanon to assist in
conveying the critical intelligence to Hayden. WMR has been told
that the CIA and FBI have been infiltrated by gatekeepers that are
ensuring that critical intelligence does not reach top U.S. policy
makers in intelligence and law enforcement.

May 16-18 --Was CIA agent's computer compromised?

WMR has discovered that the story proffered by the Houston Police
Department that the CIA was sending someone from Virginia to Houston
to check on the validity of CIA contract agent Roland Carnaby's CIA
identification card was a ruse to cover up the fact that the police
had impounded Carnaby's lap top computer and cell phone along with
his Jeep Commander. Carnaby's ID card was already known to be
authentic by CIA Headquarters in Virginia.

The CIA was concerned that details of Carnaby's classified and
covert work for the CIA in the Port of Houston, as well as his
non-official cover Carnaby Shipping Company Ltd. and American Global
Enterprise contacts in the United States and Lebanon may have been
compromised to Israeli Mossad agents who have infiltrated the Houston
Police Department primarily through blackmail techniques. The Israeli
Consulate General in Houston is reportedly at the center of the
Israeli influence and intelligence ring in the fourth largest city
in America and the home to the largest port for imports in the
United States.

WMR has also been informed that Carnaby worked out of one the CIA's
offices in Houston. A physical examination of the building also
revealed that the entire ninth floor is occupied by the "Office of
George Bush," the former President. The office building was once
the headquarters of the Resolution Trust Corporation, the entity
tasked with cleaning up the Savings and Loan fraud of the 1980s, a
scandal that involved Bush's sons, particularly Neil and Jeb.

Carnaby was gunned down by Houston police on the 610 feeder road
in the West/Hidden Oak neighborhood of Houston. The location is
around the corner from the building housing George H. W. Bush's
office. WMR has also learned that Carnaby was trying to call the
local CIA office before he was shot by the police.

WMR has been told by individuals familiar with Houston Police
practices that after a police shooting the practice of the police
is to "demonize the victim." Carnaby has not only faced such a
barrage from the police but a concerted effort by Israeli-influenced
media to paint Carnaby as a fraud.

The chief purveyor of the disinformation campaign has been the
Houston Chronicle and particularly one of its senior reporters,
Mike Tolson who even referred to a known fraud by the name of Alan
Premel. WMR previously reported that CIA sources have told us that
Carnaby never knew Premel and that media references to their past
"association" are forgeries designed to harm Carnaby's image and
reputation. Tolson refers to "conspiracy blogs" reporting that
Carnaby had infiltrated a local Mossad ring. In fact, it is the
Chronicle, a Hearst paper that is living up to its corporate parent's
long tradition of offering up yellow journalism, a history that
began with the fake stories used by founder William Randolph Hearst
to push the United States into war with Spain.

Carnaby's exact time of death is expected to be released in the
next few days when the full autopsy report is completed. Carnaby
was carrying between $7,000 and $10,000 in cash on him when he was
shot by the police. Reliable sources told WMR that the money was
often used to pay off contacts and sources. We have also learned
that Carnaby's concealed permit weapons were spotted earlier in the
morning of April 29, but it has not been determined if these are
the same weapons later "discovered" by police after Carnaby's vehicle
was impounded.
