Secret FBI, CIA Documents and Sex Video Tapes Found At Egypt's Terror Police Headquarters
This mountain of shredded paper taking over several rooms was found inside the Egyptian Secret Police's headquarters in Cairo last Saturday. About 2,500 angry demonstrators invaded the building in what Egyptians are now calling their Bastille Day, finding documents and tapes that may soon send shockwaves around the world.
Inside the dark quarters of Mubarak's terror police, an enraged population liberated prisoners still in their isolation cells, which were no larger than phone booths. In the process, they found torture devices, mountains of shredded documents, dozens of computers stripped from their hard drives and a stash of video tapes showing famous people—from actors to politicians, both Egyptians and from other countries—having sex. The videos were recorded by the secret police in hotel rooms. Nobody knows who stars in them yet, but I'm sure we will know about it very soon.
The FBI and CIA connection
More worrying for the US government—unless they find some video of Hillary doing naughty things in her hotel room—are the FBI and CIA documents found in possesion of the Secret Police. They allegedly detail some of the collaboration between these agencies and Mubarak's secret terror force, which confirms some of the previous information published by Wikileaks.
Our friends found torture devices, sex films made for [sic] famous personalities. [...] The underground prison was hard to find at first but the people found them. Some were speaking about screams from the underground prison. The cells were found. Some people say they were locked electronically but they were opened. The detainees were released after being years in detention, one of them [was] released [after] 14 years [of imprisonment]! The detainees were allegedly blindfold and stayed in small cell without light!
The liberators obtained plenty of other material, including surveillance material onMubarak's last days in Egypt.
None of these documents have been published yet, but they are probably going to be the source of quite a few scandals in Arab countries and abroad. Even the shredded material, which Wikileaks have offered to reconstruct in a recent tweet. [Egyptian Chronicles]
Insurrection and Military Intervention: The US-NATO Attempted Coup d’Etat in Libya? :
Global Research
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
March 8th, 2011
Part I of a Two Part Article.
Part II. “Operation Libya” and the Battle for Oil
The US and NATO are supporting an armed insurrection in Eastern Libya, with a view to justifying a “humanitarian intervention”.
This is not a non-violent protest movement as in Egypt and Tunisia. Conditions in Libya are fundamentally different. The armed insurgency in Eastern Libya is directly supported by foreign powers. The insurrection in Benghazi immediately hoisted the red, black and green banner with the crescent and star: the flag of the monarchy of King Idris, which symbolized the rule of the former colonial powers. (See Manlio Dinucci, Libya-When historical memory is erased, Global Research, Febraury 28, 2011)
US and NATO military advisers and special forces are already on the ground. The operation was planned to coincide with the protest movement in neighbouring Arab countries. Public opinion was led to believe that the protest movement had spread spontaneously from Tunisia and Egypt to Libya.
The Obama administration in consultation with its allies is assisting an armed rebellion, namely an attempted coup d’Etat:
“The Obama administration stands ready to offer “any type of assistance” to Libyans seeking to oust Moammar Gadhafi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [February 27] “we’ve been reaching out to many different Libyans who are attempting to organize in the east and as the revolution moves westward there as well,” Clinton said. “I think it’s way too soon to tell how this is going to play out, but we’re going to be ready and prepared to offer any kind of assistance that anyone wishes to have from the United States.” Efforts are under way to form a provisional government in the eastern part of the country where the rebellion began at midmonth.
The U.S., Clinton said, is threatening more measures against Gadhafi’s government, but did not say what they were or when they might be announced.
The U.S. should “recognize some provisional government that they are trying to set already up…” [McCain]
Lieberman spoke in similar terms, urging “tangible support, (a) no-fly zone, recognition of the revolutionary government, the citizens’ government and support for them with both humanitarian assistance and I would provide them with arms.”
(Clinton: US ready to aid to Libyan opposition – Associated, Press, February 27, 2011, emphasis added)
The Planned Invasion
A military intervention is now contemplated by US NATO forces under a “humanitarian mandate”.
–”The United States is moving naval and air forces in the region” to “prepare the full range of options” in the confrontation with Libya: Pentagon spokesperson Col. Dave Lapan of the Marines made this announcement [March 1]. He then said that “It was President Obama who asked the military to prepare for these options,” because the situation in Libya is getting worse.” ( Manlio Dinucci, Preparing for “Operation Libya”: The Pentagon is “Repositioning” its Naval and Air Forces…, Global Research, March 3, 2011, emphasis added)
The real objective of “Operation Libya” is not to establish democracy but to take possession of Libya’s oil reserves, destabilize the National Oil Corporation (NOC) and eventually privatize the country’s oil industry, namely transfer the control and ownership of Libya’s oil wealth into foreign hands. The National Oil Corporation (NOC) is ranked 25 among the world’s Top 100 Oil Companies. (The Energy Intelligence ranks NOC 25 among the world’s Top 100 companies. – Libyaonline.com)
Libya is among the World’s largest oil economies with approximately 3.5% of global oil reserves, more than twice those of the US. (for further details see Part II of this article, “Operation Libya” and the Battle for Oil)
The planned invasion of Libya, which is already underway is part of the broader “Battle for Oil”. Close to 80 percent of Libya’s oil reserves are located in the Sirte Gulf basin of Eastern Libya. (See map below)
The strategic assumptions behind “Operation Libya” are reminiscent of previous US-NATO military undertakings in Yugoslavia and Iraq.
In Yugoslavia, US-NATO forces triggered a civil war. The objective was to create political and ethnic divisions, which eventually led to the break up of an entire country. This objective was achieved through the covert funding and training of armed paramilitary armies, first in Bosnia (Bosnian Muslim Army, 1991-95) and subsequently in Kosovo (Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), 1998-1999). In both Kosovo and Bosnia, media disinformation (including outright lies and fabrications) were used to support US-EU claims that the Belgrade government had committed atrocities, thereby justifying a military intervention on humanitarian grounds.
Ironically, “Operation Yugoslavia” is now on the lips of US foreign policy makers: Senator Lieberman has “likened the situation in Libya to the events in the Balkans in the 1990s when he said the U.S. “intervened to stop a genocide against Bosnians. And the first we did was to provide them the arms to defend themselves. That’s what I think we ought to do in Libya.” (Clinton: US ready to aid to Libyan opposition – Associated, Press, February 27, 2011, emphasis added
The strategic scenario would be to push towards the formation and recognition of an interim government of the secessionist province, with a view to eventually breaking up the country.
This option is already underway. The invasion of Libya has already commenced.
“Hundreds of US, British and French military advisers have arrived in Cyrenaica, Libya’s eastern breakaway province,… The advisers, including intelligence officers, were dropped from warships and missile boats at the coastal towns of Benghazi and Tobruk” (DEBKAfile,US military advisers in Cyrenaica, February 25, 2011)
Billionaire Carl Icahn returns $1.76B to investors | Top AP Stories | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
NEW YORK — On the eve of the bull market's second anniversary, billionaire investor Carl Icahn had an unsettling message for his investors: Take your money back. Icahn told investors in his hedge funds that he didn't want to be responsible to them for "another possible market crisis," especially given the rapid increases over the past two years. Stocks have nearly doubled since hitting 12-year lows on March 9, 2009.
Icahn, who has built a fortune from taking stakes in well-known companies and then pressing for changes, also said he was also concerned about the economic outlook and political tensions in theMiddle East. Icahn's targets over the years have included Yahoo Inc., RJR Nabisco and Revlon.
"While we are not forecasting renewed market dislocation, this possibility cannot be dismissed," Icahn said in a letter to his limited partners. The letter was dated Monday and disclosed in a regulatory filing Tuesday.
Outside investors make up just 25 percent, or $1.76 billion, of the $7 billion in assets Icahn oversees. Despite losses in 2008, the funds have had returns of 106.9 percent since their inception in 2004. In the first two months of the year the funds have returned 8.7 percent.
Not everyone believes Icahn is returning his investors' money because he's bearish about the markets.
Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank, said Icahn is likely trying to avoid regulatory scrutiny. Under new laws, hedge funds have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission and allow the agency to inspect them.
"Why submit yourself to regulatory scrutiny when you don't have to?" asked Ablin. "But I think if he had spelled it out that way, it wouldn't have gone over too well."
Icahn is known as a corporate raider with a personal fortune estimated by Forbes to be worth $11 billion, mostly from forcing changes at companies in which he invests.
"When you have that kind of money, why bother with limited partners? Most hedge fund managers dream of managing just their own money," said Michael R. Levin, who writes the blog The Activist Investor.
In his letter, Icahn said he was bothered by the losses that the funds incurred in 2008 and the fact that many of the investors withdrew large amounts of cash at the time.
For the kind of activism that Icahn is involved in, it didn't help that investors were pulling their money out. Activist investors operate in some ways like private-equity funds, said Damien Park, managing partner at Hedge FundSolutions, which advises investors and companies on shareholder activism. Park said that such flight of capital hurts their longer term strategies since they need to have ample capital on hand to manage an activist campaign, which can run as long as two or three years.
By allowing his investors to cash out, Icahn is back to relying on his own funds.
"At the end of this, he will still manage a sizable fund and he is still Carl Icahn," says Park.

NATO starts 24/7 surveillance of Libya - CNN.com
(CNN) -- NATO has launched around-the-clock surveillance flights of Libya as it considers various options for dealing with escalating violence in the war-torn country, America's ambassador to the organization told reporters Monday.
Representatives of key Western powers also highlighted the possibility of establishing a no-fly zone in Libya -- part of growing campaign to break strongman Moammar Gadhafi's grip on power.
British, French and U.S. officials were working on a draft text that includes language on a no-fly zone, diplomatic sources at the United Nations told CNN.
The language in the text will deal with triggers rather than timelines for taking such a step, one diplomat noted. If gross violations of human rights are committed, the diplomat added, the elements of the text could be quickly turned into a resolution.
Any resolution on military intervention in Libya, however, would be subject to a vote by the 15 members of the U.N. Security Council. Such intervention could face sharp criticism from Russia and China, who rarely approve of such measures.
"The violence that's been taking place and perpetrated by the government in Libya is unacceptable," U.S. President Barack Obama said at the White House. Moammar Gadhafi's government "will be held accountable for whatever violence continues to take place there."

Texans rally for secession
The Texas National Movement rallied on the steps of the Capitol building in Austin on Saturday, to mark Texas Independence Day and push for a referendum on secession, The Houston Chronicle reported.
"Texas can take better care of itself than Washington. We are here to raise interest in the Legislature of the possibility of secession to cure the ills of America," said Lauren Savage, vice president of the movement.
One demonstrator, Eric Kirkland, who is a member of the Constitution Party of Texas, said, "I would love to debate [Governor] Rick Perry live because we could once and for all show that the guy is a big government fraud who claims to be conservative."
The group argues in its resolution that the federal government has failed to protect its borders from illegal immigrants.
It goes on to state that the government has, "implemented thousands of laws, mandates and agencies in violation of the United States Constitution that have invaded the sovereignty of the State of Texas."
The rally was sponsored by State Representative Leo Berman (R-Tyler), who is also responsible for introducing a bill to limit Muslim American's rights by outlawing the practice of Sharia -- the Islamic Law.
Similar bills are currently under consideration by a dozen other states including Tennessee.
Berman introduced a bill last year in the Texas House of Representatives that would have forced President Barak Obama to prove he was born in the US.
Berman has previously commented on the election of Obama, saying, “Why don't we know anything about a president who has such a radical agenda?"

March 7th, 2011
Steve Quayle and Greg Evensen will be our guests tonight at 8pm est to talk about this alert and much more.
MARTIAL LAW COMMUNICATIONS NET INCLUDING NUMEROUS FOREIGN ASSETS WAS FULLY ESTABLISHED BETWEEN APPROX. 2:00 TO 3:00 AM EASTERN TIME SATURDAY MORNING MARCH 5TH, INSIDE CONUS.
BEGINNING AS EARLY AS TUESDAY MARCH 1RST ………A NUMBER OF FOREIGN ACCENTED ENGLISH SPEAKERS WERE BEING HEARD IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF OPERATION AROUND THE COUNTRY. THEY WERE INVOLVED, BY TYPE OF SPECIFIC TRAFFIC HEARD , SETTING UP COMMUNICATION OPERATIONS WITH VARIOUS AIRBORNE AND SPACE BORNE MILITARY COMMANDS INSIDE CONUS.
BY FRIDAY MARCH 4TH IN THE AFTERNOON…..THIS ACTIVITY BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED AND A LARGE NUMBER UNITS ON AN APPARENTLY NATION WIDE COMM NET …..SEPARATE FROM AND WITH COMMAND LEVEL SUPERCEDING ANDREWS, BEGAN SENDING AND RECIEVING HF COMMS. BY THE THE EARLY AM HOURS SATURDAY AND AFTER A REPEATED MESSAGE CONTAINING ……….. A “TRIPLE EAGLE” IN THE RADIO DESIGNATOR…….PB2EEE……NEARLY ALL OF THE NET SWITCHED TO ENCRYPTED DIGITAL TRUNKING NET WORKS . ONLY THOSE UNITS IN MORE REMOTE AREAS OF OPERATIONS , TOO FAR FROM FUSION HIVES , WERE STILL USING HF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS.
A DEEP BACKGROUND SOURCE, HAD SUGGESTED ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON, THAT IF TRIPLE EAGLE WAS HEARD A NEW COMMAND STRUCTURE FOR THE UNITED STATES WAS PROBABLY BEING SET UP. IN FACT THEN LATER THAT NIGHT THE PAPA BRAVO 2…..EEE WAS HEARD REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOT LONG AFTER THE NET WENT TO THAT DIGITAL TRUNKING SYSTEM.
AFTER THAT, INFORMATION FROM NUMEROUS LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WERE DETAILING HOW THEY WERE HEARING , ODD UNITS COMMUNICATING ON THEIR TRUNKING SYSTEM NETS…….UNITS THAT WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH U.S. MILITARY OR FEDERAL AGENCY COMMUNCIATIONS PROCEDURES, UNITS WHOSE OPERATORS WERE SPEAKING WITH HEAVY AND UNUSUAL FOREIGN ACCENTS , AND UNITS THEY HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE AT ALL .
SINCE THIS LATEST DIGITAL TRUNKING COMM SYSTEM REQUIRES THE NEW LATEST RADIO HARWARE, DIGITALIZED PERMISSION FROM CENTRAL COMMAND HIVES TO EVEN ACTIVATE THE RADIOS……WELL THEN THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THESE SAID RADIOS AND SPECIFIC DIGITAL PERMISSIONS AND ACTIVATION OF THE RADIOS HAS BEEN DONE BY THE HIGHESTLEVELS OF U.S. MILITARY COMMAND OR BY THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF DHS OR SPECIFICALLY FEMA. THEY COULD NOT BE ON THESE NETS UNLESS AUTHORIZED.
THIS HAS CAUSED QUITE A STIR AMONGST POLICE IN NUMEROUS CITIES WHO MAY NOT BE FULLY IN THE LOOP AS TO JUST WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON.
SUBSEQUENTLY, THIS SUNDAY MARCH 6TH EARLY AM FOREIGN UNIT IN AN OBVIOUS RURAL LOCATION OUT OF RANGE FOR USE OF THE DIGITAL TRUNKING RADIOS…..HIGHLY PROBABLE IN A MOUNTAINOUS REGION ….USED A N HF MILITARY FREQUENCY TO REQUEST A PHONE PATCH ……..THIS FOREIGN UNIT WAS SPEAKING WITH SUCH FOREIGN ACCENTED AND BROKEN ENGLISH THAT IT COULD HARDLY BE UNDERSTOOD…….
THIS UNIT DIDN’T KNOW PROCEDURE AND WAS BASICALLY SAYING ANYBODY OUT THERE …WE NEED A PHONE PATCH. THE ENGLISH WAS REALLY BADLY BROKEN AND FOREIGN ACCENT WAS EXTREMLY HEAVY. (NOTE HERE IS THAT THE ACCENT WAS NOT HISPANIC AND MAY HAVE BEEN MIDDLE EASTERN, ASIAN, OR EAST BLOC…EXACT LANGUAGE UNKNOWN)
AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS……ANDREWS NATIONAL COMM CENTER OPERATOR CAME ON AND SAID ….”YOU HAVE A FOREIGN ACCENT AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HECK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT”
THEN THE FOREIGN UNIT MICROPHONE WAS OBVIOUSLY PASSED TO ANOTHER SPEAKER WHOSE ENGLISH THOUGH STILL VERY FOREIGN HAD A SLIGHT HINT OF A BRIT ACCENT…….LIKE A MIDDLE EASTERN OR ASIAN SPEAKER BUT WITH HINT OF BRITISH ENGLISH ACCENT. HE WAS ABLE TO GET ANDREWS TO UNDERSTAND AND THEN ANDREWS TOOK THE PHONE PATCH OFF AIR .
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THIS IS A FOREIGN MILITARY UNIT OPERATING IN SOME MORE REMOTE LOCATION OF CONUS …IT WAS NOT IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY BUT IN GOOD OLD AMERICA AND IT HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF THE U.S. MILITARY TO BE HERE.
WE HAVE SEEN THESE TYPES OF OPERATIONS TWICE BEFORE……..WITH THE MARTIAL LAW PAPA …AN ULTRA BLACK MILITARY FLAG RANK SETTING UP “LIGHT HOUSE” NETWORK IN 2006 WHEN THE FINANCIAL COLLAPSE BEGAN IN EARNEST AND CONGRESS WAS THREATENED WITH MARTIAL LAW IN U.S. IF THEY DIDN’T VOTE FOR THE TARP BILL.
AGAIN IN 2008 THIS TYPE OF NET WAS ACTIVATED AND IT WAS LARGER THAN “LIGHT HOUSE” ……THIS CURRENT NET IS EVEN MUCH MORE LARGER SCALE AND NOW DIGITAL TRUNKING ENCRYPTED SYSTEM IS FULLY OPERATIONAL.
THE MARTIAL LAW PAPA IS IN CONTROL OF THIS COUNTRY AND HIS MILITARY UNITS, FEDERAL AGENCY PERSONNEL, STATE, COUNTY, LOCAL POLICE UNITS, AS WELL AS LARGE NUMBERS OF FOREIGN MILITARY, MERCENARIES, AND POLICE ARE READY TO FULLY IMPLEMENT MARTIAL LAW. THE GREEN LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN….REPEAT , HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN…….YET.
IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN ANTICIPATION OF SOME LARGE EVENT OR IN A TIMING RELATIONSHIP TO SAY……………MIDDLE EASTERN EVENTS.
SUCH AS THE INTERDICTION OF SAUDI OIL SHIPMENTS DUE TO INTERNAL REVOLUTION, OR AN ERUPTION OF WAR ……ALA THE GOG MAGOG WAR WITH ALL THE RAMIFICATIONS FOR NUCLEAR EXCHANGES.
EITHER OF WHICH WOULD COLLAPSE THE FINANCIAL MARKETS AND BANKING SYSTEMS WORLD WIDE AND WOULD CAUSE SEVERE SHORTAGES OF GASOLINE EVEN AT PERHAPS $10 PER GALLON, IN THE U.S., INACCESSIBILITY OF MONEY FROM BANKS OR ATMS, AND DISRUPTION OF ALL FOOD DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND HENCE MASSIVE RIOTS AND DISRUPTIONS.
IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE GOG MAGOG WAR KICKS OFF FOR REAL THAT RUSSIAN SUBS COULD LAUNCH WITHIN 2 TO 3 MINUTES ON SELECT TARGETS ON THE EAST AND WEST COAST AND EMP STRIKES WHICH COULD TAKE DOWN THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL GRID.
THIS IS NO JOKE……..THE MARTIAL LAW PAPA IS READY , HIS NET IS UP , AND HIS UNITS AWAIT ORDERS……….ALTHOUGH SOME DON’T KNOW IT YET.
WATCH FOR ESCALATION IN LIBYA WITH U.S. AND BRIT INVOLVEMENT AND OF COURSE ANYTHING IN SAUDI ARABIA OR IRAN AND PERSIAN GULF.
ON FRIDAY NIGHT IT WAS SEEN THAT PROBABLY BRITISH SAS WAS EITHER DOING HALO OUT OF A TR3-B OR TR 4 OR A ZODIAC BOAT APPROACH MAY HAVE BEEN DONE.
AS OF SUNDAY THERE ARE NOW REPORTS…THAT AN SAS UNIT AND A JR. DIPLOMAT (READ MI-6 OPERATIVE) WERE CAPTURED BY LIBYAN REBEL GROUPS.
THIS AFTER NOON SOURCES HAVE INDICATED THAT A 210 CHARACTER (WAR LENGTH) MESSAGE WAS PUT OUT ON MIL HF FREQUENCIES.
EXACT TIMING OF ANY THING HAPPENING NOT KNOWN.
PRAY AND PREPARE IN EARNEST.
THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
