Another CIA agent arrested

Pakistani authorities have arrested a US government security contractor amid a worsening spy agency row between the countries, with Pakistani intelligence calling on the Americans to "come clean" about its network of covert operatives in the country.

The arrest came at the start of the murder trial of another American held in Pakistan, the CIA agent Raymond Davis.

Peshawar police arrested Aaron DeHaven, a contractor who recently worked for the US embassy in Islamabad, saying that his visa had expired.

The people of Pakistan will revolt amid rising tensions in an already volitile atmosphere of anti-American backlash on a world wide scale. The empire that the US has sought to build is crumbling like all empires have before them. The war in Afghanistan is the reason that the CIA is fanning a kind of furnace in Pakistan. They need to keep the Taliban resistance up to require the presence of NATO and US troops in Afghanistan until the pipeline from the petroleum rich Caspian Basin is built by 2014. Hence the draw down date for troops. The war has always been about energy and coporatism. Coporate financed wars equate to FASCISM. One day we will go to war over rice or water. Time to end the corporate driven wars. If Davis and DeHaven are given a free pass to leave, Pakistan will follow the path of Egypt. Another shift in a geopolitical stance against US driven policy. Keeping in mind Pakistan is a nuclear armed power, who will be in control of those weapons? Americans will soon learn they cannot kill with immunity. Killing is still killing, no more blood for oil. Prosecute Davis and Dehaven.

Accused swindler Starr invested in ‘private CIA’
By Jeff Stein
Kenneth I. Starr, the disgraced financial adviser with an A-List stable of Hollywood
clients, was a major investor in GlobalOptions, a controversial Washington firm that once
billed itself as “a private CIA,” financial filings show.
Starr is charged with swindling at least $59 million from a glittering list of film and
media stars including Uma Thurman, Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese, Neil Simon,
newscaster Diane Sawyer and photographer Annie Leibovitz.
Federal agents found him hiding behind coats in his closet on May 27, "forcing them to
yank him out by the collar," the Associated Press reported.
Starr “was an early investor in GlobalOptions,” according to a former employee. SEC
filings show that he had major investments in the company as recently as January 2009.
Since its founding in 1998, GlobalOption’s board of directors has also included Starr’s
son, Ronald, who is also managing director of his father’s investment firm.
So many of Starr’s clients were stockholders in GlobalOptions that the company felt
compelled to tell the SEC that the cross-ownership “would not interfere with [Starr’s]
independence, as defined by Nasdaq’s rules and regulations."
GlobalOptions was founded by Neil C. Livingstone, a behind-the-scenes adviser to
Reagan White House official Col. Oliver North during the arms-for-hostages deal with
Iran. Livingstone left the company in late 2006 to start a similar firm, Executive Action
LLC, headquartered in Dupont Circle. He took GlobalOptions' "private CIA" with him.
“Think of us as a McKinsey & Company with muscle,” a brochure for Executive Action
says, "a private CIA and Defense Department available to address your most intractable
problems and difficult challenges."
While Livingstone was still CEO of GlobalOptions, the firm said its foreign clients
operated "primarily in Russia and the Caribbean,” according to an SEC filing unearthed
by Harper’s magazine blogger Ken Silverstein in 2007.
One was Ukrainian businessman Dimytro Firtash, who “brokered several billion-dollar
deals between Gazprom and the government of Ukraine,” which drew “criticism from the
U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine at the time for the deals’ lack of transparency,” according
to the Wall Street Journal.
Now headed by Harvey Schiller, a former sports and broadcasting business executive and
onetime executive director of the U.S. Olympic Committee, GlobalOptions today stops
short of advertising itself as “a private CIA.”
But the heart of its business remains in security services and corporate intelligence.
“With a single call, through a single point of contact,” the company’s brochure says, “you
can access our entire array of international risk services – from security and
investigations, to disaster preparedness and management, to fraud prevention and
litigation support.”
The company did not return a call seeking comment.
Livingstone, reached by telephone Friday, said he is no longer privy to the internal
workings of GlobalOptions, but doubted the firm was damaged by the collapse of Starr’s
financial empire.
“I don’t think it will hurt them,“ he said.
Livingstone, who was once accused by GlobalOptions of stealing the firm’s clients -- "it
was settled in my favor,” he said -- also said none of Starr’s clients invested in Executive
Action.
The Paris-based newsletter Intelligence Online reported Thursday that GlobalOptions
“carried out numerous missions on behalf of Kenneth Starr and his clients” when
Livingstone ran the company.
But Livingstone, now mulling a run for governor in Montana, his home state, described
the "missions" as “the routine problems and issues that show business people get into” --
stalkers, missing children, accusations of sexual dalliances, property stolen by household
help and the like. “Mundane stuff, nothing spooky or unusual,” he maintained.
Two principals of GlobalOptions, former FEMA chief James Lee Witt and former New
York City police commissioner Howard Safir, recently announced their departure from
the company, shortly before the Starr indictment was handed down.
The company’s advisers have included such national security luminaries as former FBI
directors William S. Sessions and William H. Webster (who also headed the CIA in the
1980s), former CIA director James Woolsey and former NATO commander Wesley
Clark.

Raymond A. Davis

U.S. Department Of Defence Contractor Raymond A. Davis
CIA spook. Arrested in Pakistan.

The ISI (Pakistani intel agency) learned their "enhanced interrogation" techniques from the CIA which Mr. Davis is no doubt getting a ring side seat demonstation. This could escalate into a major war. At the very least this may have prevented a false flag nuclear hit on the U.S. by the CIA. There is still one missing nuclear missile from the Minot / Barksdale 2007 affair. Keep in mind Al Qaeda does not exist as an Islamic terrorist group but is a CIA front. This could implode the myth of Al Qaeda and at that point so does the notion of 19 Al Qaeda operatives crashing aircraft on 9/11/01. The tipping point is now, this is a game changer for the Americans. Obama, you don't have enough leverage to pressure the Paki's to release your boy and they can blow the whistle on your game, CHECKMATE.


Kashmir Watch, Feb 21
By Lt Col Zaheerul Hassan (R)

On January 29, I along with my family while going to my house passed through the Jail Road and viewed the seen of the unpleasant event. In that incident on January 27, 2011 an American undercover secret agent Raymond A Davis killed two young boys just in front of famous “Bhatti Tikka Shop”. The site was marked with the nylon rope and the bloodshed of killed citizens over road was visible from a distance as well. Out of these murdered persons, two were killed by Raymond who allegedly shot eight times with pinpoint accuracy through his car windshield and third one totally innocent young boy was crushed by another American vehicle which came for the rescue of the killer. Davis and others Americans fled the vehicles away from the seen of the crime but thanks to Almighty Allah Who created a defect in a private car of the unknown lady just in front of Davis’ car, and forced him to stop. At that moment chasing police party successful captured Raymond Davis before he would has entered into the consulate. But the vehicle which crushed Obaidur Rehman escaped itself and went to US consulate. Despite repeated requests of Punjab government, US consulate has not produced the driver along with the vehicle to the police. Reportedly, the driver and occupants of this vehicle have been secretly transported to Afghanistan by road and later on from there were flown to US.

The investigating Agency (Punjab Police) failed to completely open the trained CIA agent Davis. However, the police recovered from him private pistol, few bullets, camera, cell phones, highly sophisticated wireless set and dollars. The screening of camera revealed that Davis has carried out the photography of Pakistani bunkers situated on Eastern border, fort located at Waris Road (ex location of an Army Unit), sensitive buildings and locations. The calls records of his mobile phones indicate that Davis was in connection with different Taliban groups (working in the interest of India and US). According to “The European Union Times Report” Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) revealed that top secret CIA documents found in Davis’s possession point his connection with al-Qaeda terrorists and use to provide them “nuclear fissile material” and “biological agents” which could be used against the United States itself in order to ignite an all-out war in order to reestablish the West’s hegemony over a Global economy that is warned is just months away from collapse.

The report further disclosed the information about Davis while quoting the report of “Times of India” that includes: “According to records from the Pentagon, Davis is a former Special Forces soldier who left the army in August 2003 after 10 years of service. A Virginia native, he served with infantry divisions prior to joining the 3rd Special Forces Group in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In 1994, he was part of the U.N. peacekeeping force in Macedonia. The American Spy is in the habit of drug taking {“Charse filled cigarette & Niswar” (both these drugs are extensively being used by the male inhabitants of Afghanistan and tribal area of Pakistan)}

According to the officers of investigating agencies, neither US consulate nor Mr. Davis has cooperated n interrogation of the case. It is also mentionable here that Investigating Agency has openly negated Davis stance over killing of the two citizens in self-defense.

Washington’s foreign office and US ambassador instead assisting local police for fair investigation started crying for immunity of a spy under the Vienna acts. The actual situation of the case of immunity is, Mr. Davis’ name has not been included in that list which was provided by the US consulate to Interior Ministry for getting diplomatic facilities on January 23, 2011. His name has been included in that list which was dispatched to Interior Ministry of Pakistan on January 28, 2011 (after the murder of Pakistani Citizens). Thus, Davis name was listed maliciously to prove him as diplomat. Mr. Obama, Hilleary Clinton & John Kerry also tried to built up pressure on government of Pakistan to release Mr. Davis on the plea that his status comes under the Vienna act which gives immunity to diplomats. Pakistan's former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had pressurized him to verify the diplomatic immunity to Raymond Davis arrested for gunning down two men in Lahore. "Hillary Clinton called me and wanted me to publicly confirm diplomatic immunity of Davis. However, I refused to do so because it was against the factual position in the case," Qureshi was quoted as saying by Dunya News Saturday night. In this regard government of Pakistan straight away refused to provide him the immunity and stated that matter would be decided by the court.

Anyhow, the above revealed facts forced Pakistani authorities to dig out the truth since now it’s not the matter of two simple murders in self defence. In fact it is matter of Pakistan’s national security, integrity, respect, survival and sovereignty. To reach the conclusion, the investigating agencies have to find out the answers of significant questions which are frustrating everyone’s mind. The questions could be, (one) why Mr. Davis was roaming in Lahore with a loaded pistol and carried out photography of important sensitive places, (two) is murder of the two young citizens result of some secret operation “agent burning of”, (three) was Davis on some covert mission and thought that he had been compromised due to continuous chase by some local intelligence people, thus decided to get rid of them ,(four) was he working as a duel agent of RAW & Mossad apart from his parent organization CIA, (five) has he been given the mission of sabotaging already scheduled US-Pakistan-Afghanistan Dialogues,(six) was he really helping Al-Qaida in getting small yield nuclear weapons (seven) was he having some connection or clue in killing and abduction of Col (Retired ) Imam, (eight) why US consulate is reluctant in handing over the car along with driver for investigating which crushed a passing bye motor cyclist ,(nine) Do the operators of Mr. Davis’s desire to sabotage Obama’s plan of leaving Afghanistan soon,(ten) is he on the mission to sabotage forth coming Indo-Pak talks,(eleven) Has CIA decided to get rid of Mr. Davis?,

The analysis of the evidence available and questions raised in this article are giving indication that CIA spy Mr. Davis was on some secret mission and killed innocent Pakistani citizens considering them chaser of local intelligence organization or on “agent burning mission’.

On under discussion issue of Davis top military and political leadership has unanimous view i.e. dealing the case with dignity, fairly and without taking the pressure of US. In this connection on February 18, 2011, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani called on President Asif Ali Zardari at the Presidency. “Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Kayani was also present during the meeting. In this sitting issues relating to the war against militancy was discusses. However, an official privy to meeting revealed that the issue of terrorism was deliberated upon during the talks, but the focus was on the Pakistan-US diplomatic row over the fate of the detained American citizen. Pakistani judicial system is matured and independent. Davis case is in the court so American top brass should respect the local courts which will definitely deal the case the on merit. It is mentionable here that Pakistani government would never like to commit political suicide without taking the nation in confidence by unconditionally releasing CIA Spy. Moreover the government will never like to sign on her death warrant just because of Davis stupidity or to win American sympathies. Pakistani government should instruct foreign embassies to curtail their employees’ activities. US top brass if believe in long term strategic relations with Pakistan then she has to respect the emotions of the people and local laws. America should also realize that she cannot fight the war on terror without Pakistan support. In overall scenario the point to be pondering here that “Pakistani masses have started thinking whether America is their strategic friend or strategic enemy”. Thus, US authorities must control “Black Water” which has become the black spot for US.

More on the R.Davis affair.

American official Raymond Davis, arrested in the Pakistani city of Lahore for gunning down two armed men, had "close links" with the Taliban and was "instrumental" in recruiting youths for the militant group, a media report said on Tuesday.

The claim about his links to Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan was made to The Express Tribune newspaper by unnamed police officials in Punjab province, a day after US media reported that Davis was working for the CIA as a security contractor.

"The Lahore killings were a blessing in disguise for our security agencies who suspected that Davis was masterminding terrorist activities in Lahore and other parts of Punjab," a senior official of Punjab Police was quoted as saying by the daily.

"His close ties with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan were revealed during the investigations... Davis was instrumental in recruiting young people from Punjab for the Taliban to fuel the bloody insurgency," the official was quoted as saying.

Call records retrieved from mobile phones found on Davis had allegedly established his links with 33 Pakistanis, including 27 militants from the banned Taliban and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, sources were quoted as saying by the newspaper.

The report claimed Davis was "said to be working on a plan to give credence to the American notion that Pakistan's nuclear weapons are not safe."

It added: "For this purpose, he was setting up a group of the Taliban which would do his bidding."

Former military ruler Pervez Musharraf had cut a secret deal with the US in 2006 to allow clandestine CIA operations in Pakistan, the daily reported.

However, "the government and security agencies were surprised to know that Davis and some of his colleagues were involved in activities that were not spelled out in the agreement," a source told the newspaper.

Davis' job was to trace the links of the Taliban and al-Qaeda in different parts of Pakistan but instead investigators found that he had developed "close links" with the Taliban, the source claimed.

Investigators recovered 158 items from Davis, including a 9mm Glock pistol, 75 bullets, a GPS device, an infrared torch, a wireless set, two mobile phones, a digital camera, a survival kit, five ATM cards and Pakistani and US currency.

The camera had photographs of Pakistani defence installations.

Intelligence officials claimed these items proved that Davis was involved in "activities detrimental to Pakistan's national interests."

Davis was arrested in Lahore on January 27 after he shot and killed two armed men he claimed were trying to rob him.

American newspapers lifted a self-imposed gag on Davis' CIA links on Monday.

The New York Times, citing American government officials, reported that Davis "was part of a covert, CIA-led team of operatives conducting surveillance on militant groups deep inside the country."

Among the groups that Davis was keeping an eye on was the banned Lashker-e-Taiba, which carried out the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, The New York Times reported.

The US had earlier described Davis as a member of the "technical and administrative staff" of its embassy in Pakistan.

Pakistani leaders, fearful of a public backlash, have turned down repeated US demands for Davis to be freed on grounds of diplomatic immunity and insisted that his case will be decided by the courts according to the country's laws.

2 million

The very idea that 2 million Egyptians will march on Jerusalem could spell the end of Israel. RFO

Egypt

The people win for now. The CIA's point man in Egypt is Vice President (appointed, not elected) Suileman. He was the go to man for CIA extraordinary rendition (kidnapping, a.k.a. forced adoption) and torture. He is a CIA asset who has threatened to "unleash dark bats in the night". They have replaced a madman with an insane man. Do not let up the Egyptian army is the current power do not let this insane person resume any type of power or all will be lost. One day Americans could be so bold as to shake off the fear a tyrranical government imposes on it's people and rise to the occassion such as the Egyptians dared to. To live in fear is to live in slavery and servitude. Fear is their only card, call them on the bet for we are a million to one on them we can do it also. As Robert Duvall once said, "some day this war is going to end". "smells like VICTORY". One day...

Egypt and the Al Qaeda Lies

The riots in Egypt have proven the false notion of Al Qaeda being the source of terrorism. AL QAEDA DOES NOT EXIST. There I feel better now.
AQ is put there by the powers that be to instill fear and to control the people through fear. The Egyptian people have cast off that fear and are now taking control of their own destiny. When will the people of the so called "civilized" world realize they have been fucked over by the scheme?
LA Times report of the New years day bombing of the Coptic (Catholic) Church in Alexandria Egypt:

Egypt has 'conclusive' evidence that Al Qaeda group was behind church bombing
Palestinian militants linked to Al Qaeda are blamed in the New Year's Day attack that killed 25 Coptic Christians. With foreigners named as the culprits, religious tensions may ease.

January 24, 2011|By Jeffrey Fleishman, Los Angeles Times
Reporting from Cairo — The Egyptian government announced Sunday that it had "conclusive proof" that an Al Qaeda-linked Palestinian militant group orchestrated the New Year's Day bombing outside a Coptic Christian church that killed 25 worshipers and exacerbated sectarian tensions across Egypt.

Interior Minister Habib Adly blamed the attack on the Army of Islam, an extremist organization based in the Gaza Strip. The naming of foreigners as the culprit may help Egyptian authorities in easing escalating tensions between Muslims and Copts, who make up about 10% of the nation's population.

Now the same interior minister Adly is accused of busting out prisoners and recruiting them to be the "terrorist organization". However he did not plan on being ratted out. The real story is coming out.Egyptian Christians and Muslims are united against the repressive regime of Mubarac and their evil empire.
The story from Al Arabiya;
Egypt's general prosecutor on Monday opened probe on former Interior Minister Habib el-Adly's reported role in the New Year's Eve bombing of al-Qiddissin Church in Alexandria in which 24 people were killed, an Egyptian lawyer told Al Arabiya.

Laywer Ramzi Mamdouh said he had presented a proclamation to Egyptian prosecutor Abd al-Majid Mahmud to investigate news media reports suggesting that the former interior ministry had masterminded the deadly church attack with the intent to blame it on Islamists, escalate government crackdown on them, and gain increased western support for the regime.

Mahmud said the information contained in some reports were "serious."

The proclamation, numbered 1450, pointed to the news reports sourcing a UK diplomat who explained the reasons why Britain has insisted on the immediate departure of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his regime, especially his interior ministry's security apparatus previously directed by el-Adly.

According the UK diplomatic sources quoted in the reports, the former interior minister had built up in over six years a special security system that was managed by 22 officers and that employed a number of former radical Islamists, drug dealers and some security firms to carry out acts of sabotage around the country in case the regime was under threat to collapse.

The proclamation also pointed, sourcing reports on UK intelligence services, that interior ministry officer Maj. Fathi Abdelwahid began in Dec. 11, 2011 preparing Ahmed Mohamed Khaled, who had spent 11 years in Egyptian prisons, to contact an extremist group named Jundullah and coordinate with it the attack on the Alexandria church.

"Discipline the Copts"Khaled reportedly told the group he could assist with providing weapons he had allegedly obtained from Gaza and that the act was meant to "discipline the Copts."

After contact was made, a Jundullah leader named Mohammed Abdelhadi agreed to cooperate in the plot and recruited a man named Abdelrahman Ahmed Ali to drive a car wired with explosives, park it in front of the church and then leave it to be detonated by remote control, according to the report.

But Maj. Abdelwahid, who worked for the interior ministry, reportedly detonated the car before the Jundullah recruit got out, therefore killing him and 24 worshipers in the church.

After the attack, the interior ministry officer asked Khaled to go meet the Jundullah leader in an Alexandria apartment and evaluate the success of the attack.

A few days later the two men met in an apartment in Alexandrian's Abdel-Moneim Riad street. During their meeting Maj. Abdelwahid and his security forces raided the apartment and arrested them. They were then driven immediately on ambulance to an interior ministry building in Cairo.

They stayed in detention until Jan. 28 when the ministry of interior and its security system broke down allowing them to escape as did thousands of prisoners around the country.

When they fled, both the men went straight to the UK embassy in Cairo and told the story of how they were set up by the government to carry out terrorist attacks, according to the reports.

Imagine a world in which U.S. citizens realized that the same "Al Qaeda" does not exist and was not behind the 9/11 attacks. That it waas set up from within the very government that is supposed to protect them. The street would fill with angry citizens...

Amnesty International representatives detained in Cairo

The bastards detain 2 Amnesty Int. workers but let a known Israeli Mossad General go free.
3 February 2011

Two Amnesty International representatives have been detained by police in Cairo after the Hisham Mubarak Law Centre was taken over by military police this morning.

The Amnesty International staff members were taken, along with Ahmed Seif Al Islam, Khaled Ali, a delegate from Human Rights Watch and others, to an unknown location in Cairo. Amnesty International does not know their current whereabouts.

“We call for the immediate and safe release of our colleagues and others with them who should be able to monitor the human rights situation in Egypt at this crucial time without fear of harassment or detention,” said Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International.

Israel Sending Crowd Dispersal Equipment to Egypt.

This news article from the Middle East Moniter. 3 Cargo planes loaded with crowd dispersal gear landed in Cairo on Saturday. The implications could set the stage for all out war.
Rights NGO claims that Israeli planes carrying crowd dispersal weapons have arrived in Egypt
Monday, 31 January 2011 14:20
Three Israeli planes landed at Cairo's Mina International Airport on Saturday carrying hazardous equipment for use in dispersing and suppressing large crowds.
The International Network for Rights and Development has claimed that Israeli logistical support has been sent to Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak to help his regime confront demonstrations demanding that he steps down as head of state. According to reports by the non-governmental organisation, three Israeli planes landed at Cairo's Mina International Airport on Saturday carrying hazardous equipment for use in dispersing and suppressing large crowds.

In the statement circulated by the International Network, it was disclosed that Egyptian security forces received the complete cargoes on three Israeli planes which were, it is claimed, carrying an abundant supply of internationally proscribed gas to disperse unwanted crowds. If the reports are accurate, this suggests that the Egyptian regime is preparing for the worse in defence of its position, despite the country sinking into chaos.

On Sunday 30 January, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Israeli government ministers in a public statement saying: "Our efforts aim at the continued maintenance of stability and security in the region… and I remind you that peace between the Israeli establishment and Egypt has endured for over three decades… we currently strive to guarantee the continuity of these relations." Netanyahu added, "We are following the events unfolding in Egypt and the region with vigilance… and it is incumbent at this time that we show responsibility, self-restraint and maximum consideration for the situation… in the hope that the peaceful relations between the Israeli establishment and Egypt continue…"

The Israeli prime minister urged Israeli government ministers to refrain from making any additional statements to the media.
