“Goss introduced his legislation,
H.R. 4584, on June 16—before the September 11 commission issued its
own recommendations for the creation of a national intelligence
director as well as a new National Counterterrorism Center that would
conduct “joint operational planning” of counterterrorism operations
involving both the FBI inside the United States and the CIA abroad.
The congressional official familiar with the Goss bill pointed to that
proposal as a recognition of the increasingly fuzzy lines between
foreign intelligence operations and domestic law enforcement. The
proposal comes at a time when the Pentagon is also seeking new powers
to conduct intelligence operations inside the United States. A
proposal, adopted last spring by the Senate Intelligence Committee at
the request of the Pentagon, would eliminate a legal barrier that has
sharply restricted the Defense Intelligence Agency and other Pentagon
intelligence agencies from recruiting sources inside the United
States.” Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball Newsweek Magazine 08-11-04
Last night I watch a replay of the
day’s earlier Senate Confirmation Hearings of Florida Congressman
Porter Goss as Bush’s nominee to replace George Tenet as CIA Director.
Civil libertarians are alarmed by Goss’ nomination because Goss
introduced legislation on June 16 that would make it legal for the CIA
to conduct clandestine operations inside the US. When the CIA was
created in 1947 the legislation that created it prohibited the new
agency from domestic operations and gave it no domestic jurisdiction.
What is more unsettling is Goss himself is a former CIA clandestine
operative and has been the head of the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence for eight years. A closer look at Goss is
cause for even more alarm. Goss is a graduate of Yale (1960) who upon
graduation entered the US Army as an intelligence officer thus keeping
a long tradition of Yale grads as spooks alive. Goss later switched to
the CIA keeping the Yale cause and effect relationship between
business, government and war alive (it was Yale graduate Wall Street
lawyers who formed the CIA). It has not been determined but I wouldn’t
be surprised if Porter Goss wasn’t a member of the Skull and Bones
fraternity which also boasts John Forbes Kerry and George W Bush as
members. Goss served as Congressman for the 14th Congressional
District of Florida for sixteen years. He served as head of the House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. If you are a conspiracy
buff, consider this: Porter Goss is a Republican congressman from
Florida (the state pivotal in Bush’s theft of the 2000 election) he is
a former CIA operative with an extremely close relationship with both
Bush and Dick Cheney who helped orchestrate a move by Republicans to
waive the rules allowing Goss to remain as Intelligence Committee
Chairman beyond the normal six years, Goss also played an influential
role in the Joint Congressional Report on 9-11, deflecting any
culpability away from the Bush administration and at one time Goss’s
counterpart on the Senate Intelligence Committee was former Democratic
Senator Bob Graham, also from Florida! The Florida connection
guaranteed the Bush Junta had friends in key positions so 9-11 could
be pulled off and a thorough cover up would be aided and supported.
When we begin to connect the dots the fact that on June 16 of this
year Goss who had never introduced any legislation pertaining to
intelligence before introduced H.R. 4584 a bill legalizing domestic
clandestine operations by the CIA against US citizens, is cause for
great concern. Keep in mind, the CIA has conducted covert operations
domestically (Operation CHAOS during the Vietnam era to spy on and
disrupt the anti-war movement, this is one reason Kerry’s opposition
to the Vietnam War are being made an issue in this election, to link
dissent with treason) but they were done illegally and without
congressional authorization or oversight. (See the Church and
Rockefeller reports on CIA irregularities). While several Democratic
senators did raise the issue of domestic CIA operations during the
confirmation hearing yesterday and Goss was forced to say publicly he
did not favor giving the CIA arrest powers; it is clear the Bush Junta
and their New World Order overlords will pursue their plans to create
a totalitarian national secret police. The rash of proposals to create
a national intelligence director and unified spy apparatus are clear
indications the NWO plan to create a police state is in high gear. To
facilitate the NWO agenda Goss was part of the cover up of the 9-11
debacle. A Fox News reported on August 10, 2004, “Along with fellow
Floridian, Democratic Sen. Bob Graham, then the chairman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, Goss led a joint congressional inquiry into
the attacks, which identified numerous miscalculations that prevented
authorities from derailing the attacks.” Notice the cunning use of the
word “miscalculations” as opposed to saying it was treason or
deliberate intervention by top Bush administration officials that
allowed 9-11 to happen. As the Bush administration schemes to steal
another election, they are recruiting weasels to help them spy and
prey on the US hen house.
