Big Peace : WaPo: Arkin's History of Exposing America's 'Top Secrets'

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 05:39:24 +0000

Just as I predicted, IPS (Institute of Policy Studies-the group associated with both Arkin and Priest's husband) is already hyping these articles, claiming that Top Secret America is ,now get this, and try not to laugh too hard, STALINESQUE! http://www.ips-dc.org/blog/trying_not_to_think_of... The purpose has ALWAYS been to construct a new bogeyman for the hard left called "TOP SECRET AMERICA" It doesn't matter that they had to scoop up every gardener and food service employee with clearance to achieve their goal. I just really hope that conservative pundits and pols will see through the smokescreen, and not see this as an effort to improve our security aparatus. That's not the intent of this bunch at all--they want to ditch it. As Arkin has publically stated, 911 was America's fault.

Dana Priest is responsible. She is married to William Goodfellow, a radical marxist who supported the Khmer Rouge in the pages of the NYT in 1975 he is so vile. Goodfellow started at IPS, then went to its spin-off CIP in the seventies, where he has been the executive director ever since. He and Arkin have been running in the same circles for decades, and Priest even admits that she's known him for 15 years. Priest has LIED all along about co-ordinating efforts with her husband. Cliff Kincade of AIM approached the WaPo in 2006 with overwhelming evidence after her "gulag/black sites" stories, and was told that she was objective etc. I'd like to see them say that now. To date, these articles have been pointless--except for the fact that the new interactive database now identifies nearly every top secret facility of any kind in the country. Gee, why would Cuba or Iran need an intel service when they have Priest and Arkin!

Note to Katha Pollitt. I know Juanita Broadderick. Unlike Bill Clinton, she told the truth. Pseudo-feminists like you called Juanita a liar. You raped her reputation . You were Bill Clinton's willing executioner. Now face the consequences. You are no longer politically relevant. You have no integrity.

I really really hope that Big Journalism will go after this story in a big way. I've just done a little research and discovered that Bill Arkin was a key player with the Soviet front org ISP in the 1980--an org that assisted none other than the CIA traitor Philip Agee, The very idea that the Wa Po would let such a marxist joker anywhere near intel reporting is a complete joke--kind of like putting Josef Stalin in charge of Human rights reporting. What in the hell were they smoking! Dana Priest's husband was also a big fan of Agee's by the way.

If the system working? Well, we haven't been hit again now have we. But with an interactive map showing every single government and private contract entity in the country, that certainly could change.

But do we really think that Dana is concerned with out of control government spending? A loss of civil liberties thanks to the new post 911 BigBrother? Here's what I think is really going on. Little Miss Dana is trying to construct a new bogeyman for the left to attack, since the military industrial complex is running out of steam. Thus TOP SECRET AMERICA! Trust me, all the little agitprop orgs that her husband is associated with are getting their troops mustered, and their fund raising letters typed. She and the WaPo have thrown together every single agency, contractor and individual in the federal government who require a top secret clearance. Thus, on the list of TWENTY THREE categories created by the post, we find activities as disparate as Counter-IED explosive operations to building security. And, if that's what you're doing, I don't think that it should be a surprise that 850,000 in this country of 300 million have a top secret clearance of some sort. (and hey, if things are so out of control, then how did she come up with that number? Maybe there are people who do know what's going on!)

Where to begin! Well, first , the irony of Dana Priest, (a woman married to William Goodfellow--a man who in the last 40 years has not met a totalitarian Marxist thug he didn't love) using a free press to investigate a "shadow government" is a joke. I've looked at the article. Try that is Cuba honey! Waste fraud and redundancy in the Federal Government!!! Quell Suprise!!!! But what a joke to say that no one controls it all. Congress controls the purse, and the Executive is the boss. DUH. If Obama and the dems in congress don't like it, let them start making cuts.
