A TSA agent convicted of stealing more than $800,000 worth of goods from travelers said this type of theft is “commonplace” among airport security. Almost 400 TSA officers have been fired for stealing from passengers since 2003.
Pythias Brown, a former Transportation Security Administration officer at Newark Liberty International Airport, spent four years stealing everything he could from luggage and security checkpoints, including clothing, laptops, cameras, Nintendo Wiis, video games and cash.
Speaking publicly for the first time after being released after three years in prison, Brown told ABC News that he used the X-ray scanners to locate the most valuable items to snatch.
“I could tell whether it was cameras or laptops or portable cameras or whatever kind of electronic was in the bag,” he said.
Brown often worked alone, screening luggage behind the ticket counters. He was frequently told the overhead surveillance cameras, installed to prevent theft, were not working.
“It was so easy,” he said. “I walked right out of the checkpoint with a Nintendo Wii in my hand. Nobody said a word.”
With more electronics than any one individual could need, Brown began to sell the stolen items on eBay. At the time of his arrest, he was selling 80 cameras, video games and computers online. Brown said the theft was comparable to an addiction.
“It was like being on drugs,” he said. “I was like, ‘What am I doing?’ but the next day I was right back at it.”
Brown was finally caught after selling a camera he stole from the luggage of a CNN producer. When he sold the camera on eBay, he forgot to remove the news networks’ logo stickers.
“I got complacent,” he said.

TSA’s culture of theft

But while Brown believes he might have been one of the worst thieves at the TSA, he imagines the agency’s culture makes it easy for others to do the same. Many officers don’t care about their work and complain about low pay and being treated badly, he claims, which prompts them to steal. To make it even easier to get away with, TSA managers also never search their employees’ bags.
The agency says it has a zero-tolerance policy for theft and terminates the contracts of all thieves within the TSA. In the past ten years, almost 400 TSA officers have been fired for stealing, 11 of which were fired this year.
ABC’s interview with Brown highlights the extent of the dilemma passengers face when traveling with valuables. Brown is just one of many officers caught in the act of stealing goods worth thousands.
In February, 2011, two TSA officers were arrested for stealing $40,000 in cash from a checked bag in New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport. Using an X-ray machine, the men found that the bag contained $170,000 and removed some of the money.
In the first two months of this year, a TSA baggage screener in Orlando was arrested for stealing valuables by hiding them in a laptop-sized hidden pocket in his jacket and selling the goods on Craigslist. And, a New Jersey-based agent stole $5,000 in cash from a passenger’s jacket as he was going through security
While in April, a Texas-based TSA officer stole eight iPads from checked bags, while another officer stole a $15,000 watch from a passenger at the Los Angeles International Airport in May.
“It was very commonplace, very,” Brown said, describing the frequency of theft within the TSA.
“TSA is probably the worst personnel manager that we have in the entire federal government,” said Rep. John Mica, chairman of the House Transportation Committee. “It is an outrage to the public and, actually, to our aviation security system.”

Assange and Arab Spring: More Deceit than “Openness”

Press TV: Exclusive: Assange-Mossad ties unveiled – Okay, what will you do with this story – and why? ~J

Assange and Arab Spring:  More Deceit than “Openness”

By Gordon Duff and Press TV
September 30, 2012
Source: Veterans Today

The aftermath of the last world altering months may mean life or death, war or peace for millions, perhaps the entire world.  Real conflict in Syria, the attempts by others to expand regional conflicts, tribal feuds and ethnic rivalries into war of aggression is becoming openly recognized, perhaps for the first time in history.
Since the days of Machiavelli, war through deception has been the rule but the information age has made deception a more powerful tool than ever imagined.
Perhaps it is time the tables were turned and the “deceivers” were to receive some of the recognition they have, for so long, been denied.
Today’s story will involve Julian Assange, Wikileaks, Israel, the Mossad.  Along with Netanyahu, Assange has tried to insert his way into the American election on the side of a losing candidate whose platform is simply war with Iran.  Some explanation is needed.
His recent statement, theoretically to the United Nations, one attacking President Obama, always sparing any mention of Israel or the rights of the Palestinian people, are cheap showmanship, utter lies and a form of “holocaust flag waving” he learned from Netanyahu.
No move has ever been made against Wikileaks by the United States, they and their allies in the paid press and Israeli lobby and intelligence services have had free reign while the kingly live of Julian Assange sheds crocodile tears over the imprisonment of Bradley Manning whose relationship with Wikileaks has become increasingly remote.
I know heroes, I work with them daily, Veterans Today has many on its staff who have sacrificed their futures, their safety and several, their lives, putting out hard truths that aren’t filtered by the rich and powerful.  A dozen lifetimes of training in counter-espionage, psychological warfare and “cover operations” has left our staff more than able to tell a “pig” from a “chicken.”
Our most recent episode and the concurrent orchestrated reactions, the things no news agency would see or touch is where we begin.
Nothing at the UN General Assembly meeting or anything else that went on in New York happened the way some wanted.  A critical issue is the US election.  It shouldn’t be but it is.
Currently, Iran and the United States are going through a period of, what many of us hope, will lead to more dialog and even reconciliation.
Few Americans are aware of the CIA’s role in the 1953 overthrow of Iran’s government or the brutality of the Shah.  However, many Americans remember decades of working with the Iranian people, their friends there and how, one day in 1979, all of that changed.
There were Americans in Iran supporting the government’s oppression of the people, part of what was considered a policy justified by the “Cold War” against the Soviet Union.  America had forced dozens, many dozens of dictatorships on the people of the world to “oppose communism.”  Some of those governments survive to this day, some in the Middle East.
This week, from his balcony at the Ecuadorian embassy, Assange unleashed his program, carefully coordinated with the world’s druglords, his “bankster” friends and, closest of all, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, his strongest supporter, one to interfere in the American election on behalf of Mitt Romney.
We got to know Assange initially with his video of a US helicopter killing civilians in Iraq.  The problem is, of course, Assange supported the war in Iraq, supported a US attack on Iran for Iraq, supported war with Pakistan, supports US interference in Syria and, where he stands apart from most well informed people of the world, is a lead figure in suppressing an investigation of 9/11.
Yet no media outlet ever asked why someone whose official beliefs support war on Islam for Israel would build a cult of personal fame directing world attention to US actions when those actions are commonly known to have been proof of American submission to pressure from the AIPAC lobby that totally controlled the Bush administration.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were Israel’s wars, words never to pass Julian Assange’s lips.
Assange is a pure Islamophobe.
Assange, an intelligence asset of Israel, as Zbigniew Brzezinski pointed out on December 2, 2010 on National Public Radio in an interview with Judy Woodruff, one tasked with supplying a platform for Israeli intelligence to insert carefully crafted “pointed intelligence” wrapped in “Wikileaks.”
The whole thing is not just a con.
When, back in early 2011, it was exposed to the world that all Wikileaks were filtered through Israel and then the “pop culture” mainstream media before release, meaning there is no more censored source of information than Wikileaks, he fell from grace.
When the Mossad’s Assange hogs the controlled news, the same way the CIA’s Terry Jones hogs the news with his blasphemies against the Prophet, it is a clear demonstration of how rogue intelligence agencies, how rogue states, no matter how small, how morally decrepit, are able to control the public agenda through orchestration of the media and manufactured drama.
Assange, living as a princeling for years, obsesses on his life of imaginary victimization.  Not one document has ever been filed in the United States asking a question of Assange much less accusing him of a crime or attempting extradition.
In fact, he is totally free to travel unmolested in America at will, or would be except for the risk of extradition to Sweden.  In fact, he is totally free to seek political asylum in the United States if capable of making a prima fascia case for political persecution.
Assange has many friends in America, the entire Israel lobby, billionaire “banksters” wait to fete him, Fox News has a standing offer to let him openly broadcast on government approved public airways all day every day.
This is his persecution.
As Jones is tasked with making America appear to be a nation at war with Islam, something that ended with the election of President Obama, Julian Assange is tasked with selling Iran as a threatening nuclear power.
Assange, Murdoch and Netanyahu are as “of the same mother,” perhaps one not of human origin however.
We could go “technical.”
Last week, both President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledged receipt of a letter from IAEA Lead Consultant and the world’s top nuclear weapons expert, Clinton Bastin who plainly stated that no process exists for turning uranium hexafluoride gas into a metal in order to build nuclear weapons.
This letter was leaked by Jim Dean with Press TV.  Such information, exposing world threatening international corruption is considered “untouchable “by Wikileaks.  After all, it exposes Netanyahu as a liar.
America can’t do it, Iran can’t do it but a rogue IAEA “related”  group whose spokesman, Israeli David Albright hogs the press like Terry Jones and Julian Assange, peddles junk science straight into the New York Times, the same channel Assange used to sell his message supporting war on Islam.
For those who never noticed, Julian Assange is the darling of Europe’s ultra-nationalists and “anti-immigration” crowd, seemingly a genetic twin to Andrew Breveik, the Norwegian mass murderer who killed 77 children of party members who supported the Israeli boycott.
We started a fire?  Who is “we?”  We are the freedom loving people of the world, representing the Non-Aligned Movement, Americans willing to retrench the old “policeman of the world” foreign policy and those who politically stand on the front lines, groups like “Occupy,” that stand up for the “99%” or the “47%” as Romney told his audience of guests largely from Israel during his secretly recorded private dinner back in May.
Few look behind the politics to the actual agenda of the New World Order, the “Malthusians” who believe that there are simply what they call too many “useless eaters.”
What is a “useless eater?”
It is you and me.
It is our children.
What is “their plan” for useless eater, the invisible faces behind Romney and Netanyahu, behind Koch and Adelson, behind Terry Jones and Julian Assange?
Their goal is a decline in world population, overtly through manipulation of food supplies, fuel prices, currency collapses and orchestrated war.
Their real agenda goes much further, well into the conspiracies we see on the internet and beyond, manipulated weather, genetically modified foods, billions spent on bio-chemical warfare in the US, Israel, Britain, Russia and elsewhere that is totally unregulated and never explained.
No one is touching these questions, real conspiracies, all tied to well established policies of those secret societies whose agenda has long been public, the need to end population growth or drastically lower its levels, the desire to control all human information and a willingness to suppress technologies, manipulate wars and destroy economies to bring about a world no one admits to wanting but that so many “respected” national leaders are more than comfortable with.
Do we at least respect Netanyahu and Mitt Romney because they are overtly among the despised and hateful, willing to stand, at least partially unmasked as the representatives of the unseen cabal where human life is worthless, where a well fed and educated child with a certain future is very much “the enemy?”
President Ahmadinejad has suggested that the NAM (Non-Aligned Movement) may well be the real United Nations.  No western leader will acknowledge the key issue, that five nations, leftovers of feudal nation states or newfound economic neocolonialists, warring over the world’s resources, represent national interests that can only exist if dialog is stifled, if dissent is crushed, if human aspirations are denied.
It was no accident that the current financial collapse in the West was engineered to leave no option but war, increased oligarchical rule, and descent into brutalization and totalitarianism in order to feed what is perceived as the “too big to fail” economic model that has bred generations of poverty.
That poverty is now engulfing even the United States where fully 25% of Americans suffer malnutrition and where 85% know real poverty at some time during their lives.  Nearly half of the citizens of what had been the greatest economy in the world live “one paycheck” from disaster.
As long as our attention is “bought” so cheaply, like the blood of the innocents, bought by the braying of narcissistic asses, the gifts of the ruling elites to us, the useless eaters, the underlings, those not yet chosen for slaughter, those of us yet to be fully bled, we empower our predators.
They lead us to feed on our own and we offer them only thanks.

US Family Massacred After Begging Russia For Help

October 1, 2012

US Family Massacred After Begging Russia For Help

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A shocking new Federal Security Service (FSB) report circulating in the Kremlin today alleges that an entire American family that sought Russian protection from the Obama regime was massacred by US intelligence agents within hours of their planned escape from the United States.

According to this report, on 22 September a woman who indentified herself as Kathleen Peterson visited the Russian Centre for Science and Culture in Washington D.C.under the pretense of signing up to take a course titled Russian Language Express Course A-1 for beginners set to begin on 26 September whereupon she approached director Yuriy Zaytsev and “slipped into his hand,” while shaking it, an encrypted computer thumb drive covered in a small note that said “please help us we’re in danger.”

Following “standard protocols” for such instances, when Russian officials are approached on American soil by US citizens, this report continues, the note and thumb drive in question were “processed” according to “established procedures” and revealed the plans of Mrs. Peterson, her husband Albert [both pictured 2^nd photo left], and their two children, Mathew and Christopher, to leave Washington D.C. on 23 September on a flight to Paris where it was requested they be met by Russian security personal as this family feared their lives were in danger.

Within 24 hours of Mrs. Peterson passing her information to Russian officials, this report says, she, her husband and two children were violently gunned down in their Fairfax County Virginia home on 23 September with this massacre being blamed by US police officials on a murder-suicide plot initiated by her husband, Albert, with at least one Western news source, quoting a source indentified only as “Maggie L.”, stating this tragedy was due to his, Albert’s, fears over Obama being reelected as US President.

According to US news sources, Albert Peterson was a longtime employee of the US defense giant Northrop Grumman until he resigned in 2009, and Kathleen Peterson was employed by the US defense contracting firm Blackbird Technologies located in Herndon, Virginia.

This FSB report, however, says that the likelihood of two highly placed US defense contractors holding America’s most top secret security clearances, such as Kathleen and Albert Peterson did, makes the report of their deaths being a murder-suicide “highly implausible” as only the most sound of mind persons are able to obtain such classified ratings.

This FSB report further states that the “most likely” reason for this families massacre was information possessed by Mrs. Peterson from her working with Blackbird Technologies, which Russian intelligence sources in this report name as one of the most feared and secretive organizations in the United States charged with establishing a total police state upon the American people.

Blackbird Technologies is a technology solutions provider that says their mission is to solve challenging problems for customers in the US Defense, Intelligence, and Law Enforcement Communities. They further state that their technical expertise, innovation, and operational experience meets their customers' unique and complex challenges and lists as one of their core competencies: “tagging, tracking, and locating expertise, including experience with technical systems that provide a clear picture of operational assets and targets.”

Russian intelligence sources in this report, however, state that Blackbird Technologies real mission is to produce and keep constantly updated what is called the “Obama Kill List” that was described by the Washington Post News Service as an “assertion of a presidential prerogative that the administration can target for death people it decides are terrorists — even American citizens — anywhere in the world, at any time, on secret evidence with no review.”

Virtually unknown to the American people about Obama’s Kill List was his expansion of it with his midnight 31 December 2011 signing of a new law called the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA) which allows the American President to not only kill anyone he wants to without trial or charges, but, also, inSection 1021, allows the US Military to detain indefinitely without trial anyone, including US civilians, it chooses to.

Though not reported by the US mainstream media, at a recent conference on the NDAA law by some of America’s most prominent freedom advocates, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges, said he believed that there are already America citizens held in military detention by the US at home and abroad.

Mr. Hedge’s views were shared by others opposing the NDAA law who wrote this past week on the US Federal Court Case opposing it who said: “If the Obama administration simply appealed it, as we expected, it would have raised this red flag. But since they were so aggressive it means that once Judge Forrest declared the law invalid, if they were using it, as we expect, they could be held in contempt of court. This was quite disturbing, for it means, I suspect, that U.S. citizens, probably dual nationals, are being held in military detention facilities almost certainly overseas and maybe at home.”

This FSB report further notes Blackbird Technologies “tracking and tagging” of those US citizens destined to be placed in America’s most feared prisons calledCommunication Management Units, or CMU’s. These secretive political prisons for “domestic terrorists” radically restricts prisoner communications with the outside world to levels that rival, or exceed, the most restrictive facilities in the country, including the dreaded “Supermax”, and any other such prison operating in the Western world.

To the exact reason the Peterson family was targeted for elimination by the US may, in fact, never be known, but should send a chill down any Americans spine as yet another example of the fate one faces should they dare to challenge the regime ruling over them.

Benjamin Fulford Blurb: United States of America Corporation Looting Individual Bank Accounts to Postpone Bankruptcy

. Weekly Geopolitical News and Analysis The United States of America Corporation, a subsidiary of the bloodline family owned Federal Reserve Board, has resorted to stealing private funds, and blaming it on “Iranian cyber-attacks,” in order to stave off bankruptcy, according to CIA and other sources. This desperate stalling maneuver comes as the members of the old pentagram of power, David Rockefeller, George Bush Senior, Queen Elizabeth, Evelyn de Rothschild and the Pope all argue amongst each other over what to do next. The overall picture is that the Queen and the Pope are funneling money to Obama and pushing for his re-election, while the Rockefellers and Bushes are looking towards Asia, according to both CIA and Vatican sources. This leaves the Rothschild’s out on a limb and isolated. Their plan to start war and mayhem in the Middle-East, prior to doubling oil prices, is now starting to look like a really bad, if not fatal, chess move. Word has also now come back from the Vatican archives about the fate of the Menorahs taken from the Temple of Solomon by troops of the Roman Emperor Titus. According to a senior Vatican archivist,

Swimming through the quicksand: Casper, Keenan, Whistleblower, Drake

http://removingtheshackles.blogspot.ca/2012/10/swimming-through-quicksand-casper.html

The smoke and lies are ridiculously thick right now.  In the past month the Cabal has heightened their fear porn to unbelievable levels, and the disinfo agents are working overtime to muddy the waters till it's like swimming through quicksand.

I happen to like this article from Rumour Mill News because Xavier makes some very good points in here- points that echo a theory that has been bubbling in my own brain.  Some of these people are not who they portrait themselves to be.

Over the past two weeks I have had some serious insight into the background of some of the actors in this play, and some of them - ones whom many here have supported and applauded and defended from all comers- are not as pristine nor "white knightly" as they would have us believe.  And some are downright wrong, in every way.  At this moment I'm not at liberty to talk about this in any detail, but suffice to say: Keep your bullshitometers finely tuned and read everything with discernment.

For anyone who missed the first few chapters of this soap opera, a friend helped me compile the list of links below.

Found at Kauilapele's blog: Highlights During that period [September] you have as Lightworkers done so much to lift the levels of consciousness, and a grand awakening is taking place. You have not seen extensive arrests take place as expected, but nevertheless all the changes previously spoken about are proceeding. The outer happenings are not essential to your progress, but present to you an opportunity to understand what the future holds for you. What is important [for Ascension] is how you are inside and whether you have been able to look outwards and accept that you are All One. That will go a long way forward to helping you create a higher consciousness level. You do of course have to make friends with your ego, that will still try to maintain the “old you”… That is where your big changes occur as you are lifting out of the lower vibrations, and all that is part of it. Through the Law of Attraction you will naturally find yourselves gravitating towards souls of a similar vibration. Bear in mind that every soul has come to Earth from another civilization, and you are as much extraterrestrials as any others. …press on with your upliftment and do not be deterred by what is happening outside of you… Do not waste your energy worrying about other matters… Soon progress will speed up immensely as new devices are making there [their] way into the public domain, and will be even quicker once we arrive on your Earth. …we are still very much pushing for a result from the work our allies have put in to get the dark Ones out of the way. The answer to it is to send you Love and Light wherever the threat exists, and in particular to the leaders that are directly involved. Be positive and do your share to help uplift the Earth and all life upon it. Not least of all are the animals, many of whom are your pets or have been domesticated to serve your needs.

WHY YOU NEED TO WORK HARDER!

WHY YOU NEED TO WORK HARDER!

: True story yesterday at the dealership.....

   

Unfortunately here in Napa there are a lot of people just like her...and then there are the rich here too...nowhere hardly in between behaving ourselves and just making it. Subject: True Story At Local Car Dealer    From Tom Selkis' (Latham  Ford) Facebook.. I'll try to make this as short and to the point as I can. One of my salesmen here had a woman in his office yesterday wanting to lease a brand new Focus. As he was reviewing her credit app with her he noticed she was on social security disability. He said to her, "You don't look like you're disabled and unable to work." She said "Well, I'm really not, I could work if I wanted to, but I make more now then I did when I was working and got hurt. (a non-disabling injury) She said that the gov't sends her $1500.00 a month in 1 check, she gets $700.00 a month on an EBT card (food  stamps), and $800.00 a month for rent. Oh yeah and 250 mins. free on her phone.  That is just south of $3500.00 a month. When she was working she was taking home about $330.00 per week. Do the math and then ask yourself why the hell should she go back to work. If you multiply that by millions of people you start to realize the scope of the problem we face as a country. Once the socialists have 51% of the population in that same scenario we are finished. The question is when do we cross that threshold if we haven't already. BTW, She didn't lease a Focus here because the dealer down the road beat our deal by $10.00/month. Glad to know she is so frugal with her (our) hard earned money." __________________________________________________________
