Beyond Snowden: US General Cartwright has been indicted for espionage
Oh My God- We just lost another one????

While the world focuses on Washington’s pursuit of NSA whistleblower Ed Snowden, another much more high ranking member of the US power structure has been indicted for espionage this week…
US General James Cartwright was regarded by Washington insiders as ‘Obama’s General’, and now he’s facing prosecution for blowing the whistle on ‘Operation Olympic Games’ which planted the Stuxnet and Flame viruses in Iranian nuclear facilities in order derail Iran’s civilian nuclear program. At closer examination, it appears that Cartwright’s revelations didn’t so much harm US interests per say, but they hindered Israeli ambitions towards a war with Iran.
But why espionage? What is the line between “whistleblowing” and “espionage” in America today?
Journalist Thierry Meyssan give us a historical perspective and tells is what it really means…
Voltaire Net
While the international press plays up the information leaked by Edward Snowden as a revelation concerning the PRISM surveillance program, feigning to have discovered what everyone should already have known for a long time, Thierry Meyssan, is particularly curious about the meaning of this rebellion. From this perspective, he attaches more importance to the case of General Cartwright, who has also been indicted for espionage.
Thierry Meyssan
Are American public servants, civilian or military, who face a minimum of 30 years in prison for revealing U.S. state secrets to the press “whistleblowers” exercising power in a democratic system, or are they “resistors to oppression” at the hands of a military-police dictatorship?
The answer to this question does not depend on our own political opinions, but on the nature of the U.S. government. The answer completely changes if we focus on the case of Bradley Manning, the young leftist Wikileaks soldier, or if we consider that of General Cartwright, military adviser to President Obama, indicted Thursday, 27 June 2013, for spying.
Here, a look back is needed to understand how one shifts from “espionage” in favor of a foreign power, to “disloyalty” to a criminal organization that employs you.
Worse than censorship: the criminalization of sources.
The President of the United States and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Woodrow Wilson, tried to confer on the Executive branch the power to censor the press when “national security” or “the reputation of the government” are in play. In his speech on State of the Union (7th of December 1915), he said:
“There are citizens of the United States … who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life, who tried to drag the authority and reputation of our government in contempt … to destroy our industries … and degrade our policy in favor of foreign intrigue …. We are without adequate federal laws …. I urge you to do nothing less than save the honor and self-respect of the nation. Such creatures of passion, disloyalty, and anarchy must be crushed.”
However, Congress did not heed him immediately. After the U.S. entry into the war, it passed the Espionage Act, taking in most of the British Official Secrets Act. It was no longer a matter of censoring the press, but of cutting off access to information by muzzling the custodians of state secrets. This device allows the Anglo-Saxons to present themselves as “defenders of freedom of expression“, though they are the worst violators of the democratic right to information, constitutionally defended by the Scandinavian countries.
Silence, not secrecy
Thus, the Anglo-Americans are less informed about what is happening at home than are foreigners. For example, during World War II, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada managed to keep under wraps something as big as the Manhattan Project, that created the first nuclear bomb, while it employed 130,000 people for 4 years and it was widely penetrated by foreign intelligence services. Why? Because Washington did not prepare the weapon for this war, but for the next, against the Soviet Union. As shown by Russian historians, the abdication of Japan was postponed until after Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed as a warning to the USSR. If Americans had known that their country possessed such a weapon, their leaders would have had to use it to finish with Germany and not to threaten the Soviet ally at the expense of the Japanese. In reality, the Cold War began before the end of World War II [1].
In terms of secrecy, it should be noted that Stalin and Hitler were informed of the Manhattan Project from its inception. They indeed had inside agents. Meanwhile Truman was informed in his capacity as vice president, but only at the last moment, after the death of President Roosevelt.
The real utility of the Espionage Act
In any event, the Espionage Act deals only secondarily with espionage as shown by its jurisprudence.
In wartime, it is used to punish dissent. Thus, in 1919, the Supreme Court recognized in Schrenck v. United States andAbrams v. United States that calling for insubordination or non-intervention against the Russian Revolution fell under theEspionage Act.
In peacetime, the same law serves to prevent public officials from exposing a system of fraud or crimes committed by the state, even if their revelations are already known, but not yet proven.
Under the administration of Barack Obama, the Espionage Act has been invoked 8 times, a peacetime record. Let’s put aside the case of John Kiriakou, a CIA officer who revealed the detention and torture of Abu Zubaydah. Far from being a hero, Kiriakou is actually an agent provocateur funded by the Agency, whose role it was to delude the public regarding pseudo-confessions extorted from Zubaydah to justify, a posteriori, the “fight against terrorism“ [2].
Let’s also eliminate the case of Shamal Leibowitz, since his revelations were never released to the public. There remain six cases instructing us about the U.S. military-police system.
Stephen Jin-Woo Kim confirmed to Fox News that North Korea was preparing a nuclear test regardless of U.S. threats; a confirmation that caused no harm to the USA other than pointing out their inability to be obeyed by North Korea. In another context, this information had already been released by Bob Woodward without provoking reactions.
Andrew Thomas Drake revealed the mismanagement of the Trailblazer program to a member of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee. He was alleged to have informed those congressmen tasked with keeping an eye on the intelligence agencies with regard to the billions that the NSA was secretly throwing out the window. Trailblazer sought to find a way to plant viruses on any computer or mobile phone. It has never worked.
In a similar vein, Edward Snowden, an employee of the Booz Allen Hamilton technology consulting firm, published various NSA documents attesting to U.S. spying in China as well as on the guests of the British G20. Above all, he has revealed the scope of the military phone tapping and internet spy system, which no one can escape, not even the President of the United States. U.S. politicians described Snowden as “a traitor to kill” only because his documents prevent the NSA from continuing to deny before Congress activities long known to all.
Bradley Manning, a simple soldier, sent to Wikileaks videos of two blunders by the army, 500,000 intelligence reports on military bases in Afghanistan and Iraq, and 250,000 cables on the information gathered by U.S. diplomats in conversations with foreign politicians. None of this is of paramount importance, but the documentation projects a poor image of the gossip collected by the State Department to serve as the basis for its “diplomacy.”
Jeffrey Alexander Sterling is a CIA employee who revealed “Operation Merlin” to the New York Times. More surprisingly, General James Cartwright was number two man in the military, in his capacity as Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and so close an advisor to the President as to be dubbed “Obama’s general“. He supposedly revealed “Operation Olympic Games” to the New York Times last year and has been placed under investigation, according to CNN.
Sterling and Cartwright don’t buy into the Israeli myth of “the atomic bomb of the mullahs.” So they tried to defuse the war into which Tel Aviv is trying to plunge their country. “Operation Merlin” consisted in sending to Iran false information about the manufacture of the bomb. In reality, it was supposed to push Iran to engage in a military nuclear program to justify a posteriori the Israeli accusation [3]. As for “Operation Olympic Games,” it was meant to implant the Stuxnet and Flame viruses in the Natanz plant, to disrupt its operation, notably that of its centrifuges [4]. It was therefore intended to block Iran’s civilian nuclear program. None of these revelations damaged U.S. interests, but they hindered Israeli ambitions.

FINANCIAL TERRORISM, MONEY LAUNDERING, ECONOMIC ESPIONAGE HAS BEEN GOING ON TOO LONG AS OUR INDUSTRY, MANUFACTURING IS SOLD OFF BY THE POWERS THAT BE.. WHO SUBSEQUENTLY ATTEMPT TO DISARM A JOBLESS, HUNGRY SOCIETY..

This nonsense about the US Corporate Body espousing "National Security" as law after law is passed by corrupt Law Enforcement Agencies, US House and Senate Members, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley, US Security Exchange, World Bank, UK Parliament, NSA and NASA, US Dept. of the Treasury, the US Secret Service of the Executive Branch at the White House US/UK Federal Reserve Banking Systems etc., etc., who have known about this Economic Espionage, Financial Terrorism since February 11, 2000, O/A May 23, 2001, but! Instead of Doing Their Duty Upholding, Protecting, and Defending the Law of the united States of America [Constitution, in case you did not know] these JOHNNY COME LATELY DUNDERHEADS stated: "We refuse to investigate the Counterfeit Operation going on in the Philippines! Our only duty is to PROTECT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"

That statement alone is TREASONOUS! 9/11 could have been preempted! had these individuals upheld their Oath and Done their Duty as prescribed by Oath. Instead, the allowances of the TROJAN HORSE inside the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury was the fete accompli of none other than president William Jefferson Clinton, when he unlawfully and unconstitutionally put the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY and FEDERAL RESERVE BANKING SYSTEMS under THE U.S. Dept of the Treasury by Executive Order, then prevailed upon President Ronald Reagan's Executive Order 12333, which allowed THE CI-Ltd CONTRA Operation to operate when-ever and where-ever they chose, with immunity. Here it is read it for yourselves!
EXECUTIVE ORDER 12333 UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES of Dec. 4, 1981, appear at 46 FR 59941, 3 CFR, 1981 Comp.

http://www.theantechamber.net/UsHistDoc/Eo12333.htm

By Giant Steps the National Security of the united States has been allowed to be breached by the United States Federal Representatives, Executives, Executive Branch, Law Enforcement as the sustenance of quality foods, financial structure, our Infra Structure is systematically removed from the "CUPBORDS" of our states of the Union to pay for the MONEY LAUNDERING/PONZI SCHEME Counterfeit Operation which operated with full co-operation of THE WHITE HOUSE (Clinton Adm) which the US Secret Service "Protected" by REFUSING TO INVESTIGATE!?

Believe it or not; THE SAME DAMN INTERFERENCE WAS RUN BY THE TREASURY BOYS AND FBI WHEN "NEIL BUSH" was trying to launder out the CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT from the Savings and Loan Debacle by Ambassador Lynn Schively who blocked INTERPOL BANK FRAUD DIVISION [Copenhagen DK] from obtaining "assistance" of the U.S. TREASURY BOYZ. Bye the way; THAT WAS 1989-91 in case anyone is seriously interested!

That same group of nincompoops, dunderheads, spoiled brats decided they could do a "one up mans-ship on their fathers" as they did not have brains enough to dig into what MADE THIS NATION STRONG! They wanted to do it the easy way! ALLOW THE TROJAN HORSE INSIDE OUR NATIONAL SECURITY/FINANCIAL AND ECONOMICS SYSTEMS!

Subsequently; THEY CAME UP WITH THIS BRILLIANT IDEA OF GOOGLE "MINING"!
The data mining technology that is integral to the Google AdWords experience is a power tool in creating an individual profile for anyone who surfs the web. The amazing capacity to target specific ads to personal search topics, geographic locations and web history is the harbinger of a total recall on your personality. If the benefits of getting relevant advertisement that maximize sales opportunities were the only purpose of the process, the relatively benign intrusion of a materialistic message might be tolerable to most internet users. However, the bull in the china shop is not merely in the business of making a commercial profit. Google is a wonder creation of the calculate surveillance society.

BENGHAZI IS JUST THE TIP OF A VERY OLD ICEBERG... WHICH IF PROPERLY INVESTIGATED WILL RIP THE PROTECTIVE SHEILD FROM AMERICA'S SHIP OF STATE. [VKD]
DO YOU REMEMBER THE BENGHAZI INCIDENT.. THAT WILL OPEN A CAN OF WORMS REGARDING ONGOING STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS ..AND THEIR "MISUSE OF POWER"..
May 28, 2013
SECRETARY KERRY INHERITS HILLARY'S BENGHAZI DEBACLE - SUBPOENAS ISSUED
Darrell Issa, chairman of The House Oversight Committee, has reportedly issued subpoenas today for State Department emails and other communications concerning the Benghazi terror attack. This is an indication that "it ain't over til it's over" on this scandalous matter of Benghazi and the unnecessary deaths of U.S. officials.
In a letter to Secretary of State, John Kerry, Issa indicated a belief that documents are being withheld which doesn't show the cooperation that was promised on this matter.
Isn't it possible that what lies beneath this Benghazi-Gate scandal is also linked deeply to Hillary and the 'Fast & Furious' scandal?! Betcha!

That's the trouble with politics today - some officials must enter in behind scum like Hillary and face that proverbial mountain of manure to attempt to wade through before other, more normal matters of state can be attended.

NO ONE HAS LOOKED INTO HILLARY'S "CHILDRENS DEFENSE FUND" money laundering operation?!

BUT THEN! NO ONE PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT BOTH SHE AND HER HUSBAND, THE CFR had planned for the united States of America!
