Ray describes brutal arrest in NYC

Ray was interviewed, on Congressional oversight of intelligence, by Tom Klammer (“Tell Somebody,” KKFI Kansas City, 90.1 FM)

( 42 minutes)

Discussion includes the morphing of Senate Intelligence Committee over the past decade from an “oversight” into an “overlook” committee.

A Dick Cheney man, Sen. Pat Roberts, a Republican (Kansas) now running for re-election, was key to Cheney-Bush successful attempt to politicize the “intelligence” conjured up to “justify” the attack on Iraq. Roberts (Senate Intelligence Committee Chair from 2003 to 2007) then succeeded in covering up the FRAUDULENT (not mistaken) nature of the pre-Iraq-war “intelligence” for the next several years. The cat is now out of the bag, but it is still anybody’s guess as to whether the media in Kansas decides to let ordinary Kansans in on Roberts’s role in the corruption of intelligence, when he should have been looking out for their agricultural and other basic equities and interests.

 

Skeleton in the Closet – What Did NSA Agents Learn Listening to Angela Merkel?

Russia TV Channel 1, Sunday evening, Oct. 12 (9 min., in Russian)

Скелет в шкафу – что узнали агенты АНБ, прослушивая Ангелу Меркель?

Ray has two “cameo” appearances. The first lasts only a few seconds at minute 3:00, simply posing the question as to what files the Stasi and others may have on Merkel. The second runs from 6:50 to 7:10; Ray notes that Germany’s intelligence service (its CIA equivalent) delighted Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and then-CIA Director George Tenet by passing along spurious information from its source – we know him as “Curveball”) – on (non-existent) mobile biological weapons laboratories in Iraq. This was just the kind of “intelligence” Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Tenet were lusting after, and it was the centerpiece of Colin Powell’s deceptive speech at UN on Feb. 5, 2003 “justifying” war on Iraq.
