We the People take a deeper look at the pResident's information warfare

by
Virginia Braddock Simson


With the revelations of the past few weeks stemming from Freedom of Information Act disclosures about information used against the American public (We the People), it is clear that We don't need to prove the pResident did anything, yet our investigations continue. It's the job of the court or Congress or war crimes prosecutors to provide the final legal answers to what should be done with the Bush administration and provide the nexus.

But We the People have a job: to establish what is most likely happening; outline that problem; and most importantly, maybe, to discuss solutions. Then we can discuss a coherent strategy. Whether the US Congress or the international community agree or disagree is irrelevant. Our contract is obviously with the US Constitution and our obligation to uphold Geneva, which is the Supreme Law of the Land.

To meet our goals, we must examine the emerging date showing there is a domestic threat to the US Constitution. This data is in the recently released DoD emails.

Some are getting lost in the details, but missing the larger nexus.

Some are confused about what needs to be proven. The data speaks for itself. We're not here to prove the email is or isn't part of information warfare, it is. The question is not whether the data and information that we have does or does not fit with the Department of Defense (DoD) information warfare guidance. It does.

The issue is whether we will broaden our horizon and act on the assumption that there is information warfare against American citizens, and look for other programs that threaten the US Constitution. The information is there. Our job is to find it. Our task is to examine the open source information for the clues to who else is involved, what is going on and how these patterns fit in with other lines of evidence related to other illegal activity.

Once that is established that we don't need perfect information on the details (that is someone else's job), but to consider the other types of programs the pResident and the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (DoJ OLC) organized under this DoD information warfare umbrella. That umbrella has provided a "temporary" shelter for a coup which took place with the stolen election of 2000. We the People are now engaged in the process of taking that "shelter" away by showing precisely how it conflicts with international accords and the legacy of Nuremberg.

It is beyond dispute there is a reasonable basis to request information through the FOIA process about this larger, vague but emerging nexus. We must stop waiting for evidence to ask questions. We must ask questions. We must ask questions to understand what evidence might exist.

That same pattern - that of having key players crossing between two issues - is how, in part, We demonstrated the connection between the National Security Agency (NSA) and contractors; and how We the People discovered some details of the still not-fully disclosed illegal activity. We're recognizing some of the common, loose threads of the same nexus. The same information connections to new, emerging lines of evidence in other illegal activity. It is the same nexus, not a new or isolated problem.

Some may not be familiar with these violations of international law or human rights. Our job is to focus on these violations, and not be preoccupied debating whether the nexus is real. Our time is better spent focusing our energy on finding information that would confirm or deny the scope of the illegal nexus. Although the information supporting the nexus outweighs the information against it, we're not here to debate whether the symptoms are real. Our job is to lawfully confront the problem of this unacceptable - and illegal - nexus with solutions.

This is not asking anyone to avoid questions, or stop independent research. That important work must continue, in parallel.

Some believe this information is hidden. Some of it is, but some data is out there, still to be discovered, through the FOIA process. Other data can be pieced together using the open sources to guide others to important, new insights.

Our job is to lay the foundation for those asking for information to show there is specific evidence supporting these FOIA requests. This asks that you keep an open mind about how these findings fit in with the larger nexus, and how the smallest piece of information can make the difference. This is of critical importance to We the People, you and I. We need every one involved to notice the details in the emails. They are important and connect to other things that cannot remain hidden.

The information is available in public. This effort will hopefully guide others. The FOIA responses - and by this I mean in particular to questions about the digital data forensics, conference coordination and data exchange between the IT industry - will give us more details. This will strengthen the connection between the FBI contacts in re Wecht; and the NSA illegal domestic surveillance.

The larger issue isn't illegal Federal Intelligence Security Agency (FISA) violations. That is a symptom. The larger nexus is the common information warfare. It includes NSA FISA violations, POW abuse, Wecht jury tampering and the military analysts' domestic propaganda.

Indeed, it is time confusing for We the People to comb through these documents. But the Constitution demands we continue our work, finding the connections and pathways, examining the decayed foundation below our nation's house. Combined, each of our points of light forms a giant torch, illuminating new tunnels within this nexus.

Some data from one cavern reflects from one inconsequential rock, and bounces across the tunnels, illuminating a new pathway we missed. Our job is to notice where the stray light falls, and recognize the new jewels newly flickering in these untraveled caverns. We must shine our lights, adjust to the unfamiliar light, and notice what is new. The smallest flicker may lead to the important tunnel. Our job is to find it, then lead the way.

To put this another way, the fact that the government has hidden information that is otherwise available through open sources strongly supports the assertion that the aim is NOT to protect "private information" (which is disclosed elsewhere), but to hide information useful to show the DoD information warfare guidance largely matches the evidence related to FBI jury tampering, NSA domestic surveillance/FISA violations, and information directed at civilians.

We the People need to recognize that the issue isn't that there is or isn't evidence. The problem is that people are NOT seeing each new disclosure doesn't contradict the original assertion; the assertion was and continues to be that DoD guidance was used to organize this illegal information warfare, which the telecoms, NSA, DoD and White House used to violate FISA and our Constitution of the United States.

If you take a close look (even just a smidgen of a glance!) it appears the DoD emails substantially complement the lines of evidence showing there is illegal data mining, domestic surveillance and information warfare.

The pResident hopes to distract us from the larger nexus. As evidence emerges from the walls, people have begun arguing of whether the data/evidence related to the symptoms is or isn't real. That is a misdirection, and a waste of our energy. But of course, this was intended, under the plan for information warfare !

As we connect the tunnels, and examine new jewels within these taverns, prepare to stumble upon convoluted maps with false trails, invalid arguments, and convoluted rewards for delay. These are from trolls. These disinformation agents are surfacing within blog threads, weakening our nation's foundations, but not our resolve. Beware those bearing false maps, singing a promise that others will do the work. They are bought and paid for by DoD, the US State Department or outside Contractors, and other alphabet-soup agencies. It is our job to find the way, not be lulled into inaction. We must continue.

The DoJ Inspector General's (DOJ IG) report - long awaited by We the People - has been discredited, and it does not focus on key DoD guidance or other decisions made outside the FBI to block investigations. DOJ IG is focusing on the parsin of the interrogation-connection, but fails to explain why Nuremberg precedents were enforced. That claim of "unclear guidance" is irrelevant.

The DoJ IG report substantially contradicts the US government's contentions about the FBI contacts with Wecht jury members. FBI agents at Guantanamo did object; but one cannot say the same in re those jury contacts.

The Wecht case, jury tampering and the DoD emails are NOT the points to prove - they are symptoms of the larger data information warfare. We the People are called to establish just how much other activity under his information warfare umbrella of which We are unaware. We don't need data proving the pResident personally did anything. The fact that all data is well couched by the DoD information warfare guidance is the basis for the FOIA:

- what other emails related to this information warfare;

- How was the email related to these other information warfare destroyed, not preserved; and

- When did legal counsel discuss war crimes in re using illegal information against civilians ??

What can We the People conclude?
  • A. There is a reasonable basis to use the DoD emails to prosecute US contractors for illegal information;
  • B. There is a link between the President and jury tampering;
  • C. The pResident ignored the restriction against POW abuse and jury tampering;
  • D. The FBI inconsistently argued it was doing the right thing on the POW abuse; but contradicts itself by doing the wrong thing on the jury tampering.
I have provided the first installment of "InfraGard - First in a Series" to show you how infragard relates to the NSA violations and Wecht jury tampering; It's part of the same information warfare against US citizens. The pResident is still waging illegal information warfare against us US citizens (and Canada, too) with Wecht jury tampering, NSA violations, propaganda (and the attendent cointelpro efforts) as well as the harassment of bloggers who are outside the propaganda matrix.

We the People must rise above the weeds! This citizen of We the People and our attorneys post this in the hopes We will soon hear back from you whether this perspective is helpful; or let us know whether you would like some additional assistance, discussion, or dialog. We would be most interested to learn if you have had trouble with accessing or posting to your blogsites or any interference in commenting to share the truth!

To read:

"The DoJ IG report contradicts the US government's contentions about the FBI contacts with Wecht jury members. FBI agents at Guantanamo did object, as they should have; but they did not sustain their love of civilized conduct. The FBI did to Americans civilians what they refused to do to POWs: They illegally agreed with others to violate our rights. They didn't do in public what they would have us believe they can be trusted to do in secret."

The timing of a key DoD email to the White House shows the President and others wanted to deflect criticism of POW abuse, and focus on favorable aspects of information warfare.

These were not narrow public relations efforts. White House counsel was involved to ensure public information moved away from war crimes problems.

The DoD email shows the White House, State, and NSC were well aware of the military analysts, and their role in providing White House messages. One email provides no introduction, suggesting there were regular meetings within the White House to explore how to use military analysts to distract attention from the White House Press corps.

Ongoing Strategy Meetings To Spin Illegal Presidential Programs

In 2005, the Guantanamo abuses were prompting calls for its closure. The White House has a problem with war crimes.

The trip to Guantanamo was to dissuade public criticism of Guantanamo, precipated by the POW abuses. In parallel, the White House and DoJ were suppressing FBI efforts to retain war crimes evidence files.

The key phrase on page 120 is:

"As you may know", indicates DoD PA knew the White House and others had been told previously about what was going on. Before this transcript was provided, White House staff knew enough about the details to not require much background information.

"Once again" suggests DoD provided (another) example for the White House of a quick response to the President's public war crimes problem.

There would be no little reason to CC: White House legal Bartlet unless war crimes legal issues discussed.

The email is not an introduction, but a status report of things they were well aware. The email provides no information, as it should, if this was the first time the White House, State, and NSC were informed.

The comment isn't saying, "As you may know, we have a program," but does the opposite: It is very specific about a recent trip. The White House and others well knew what was going on. The trip was related to recent criticisms about the detention center in Cuba. Two weeks earlier, McClellan was hammered on Guantanamo.

Trips were planned to manage unfavorable public information about illegal activity. This trip was designed to repaint this Guantanamo story. McClellan: "there is a hundred substantiated charges of allegations of abuse and a little more than a hundred people that have been held to account. You're talking about less than 1 percent that have been found to have committed illegal acts against detainees"

It was only a "small" war crimes problem.

DoD PA to White House: "If you go there" it is "much more difficult to criticize the program." The White House used the analysts to focus on the benefits "intelligence gathering", and distract attention from the illegal activity, war crimes, and POW abuse.

Exactly how is this at all related to the Wecht Trial?
