Shining some light into the "shadow government's" operations and lies.

Let's see, there is the so-called "oil for food scandal" coupled with the Bolton nomination and many connected dots in this first article by Wayne Madsen, "Galloway hounded by AIPAC cell within U.S. Congress; Bolton tied to same cell"
http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/051305Madsen/051305madsen.html

Then there is the matter of over $100,000,000 going to "contractors" for some really ominous sounding domestic stuff from DoD in this article by John Stanton, "Rumsfeld's Mystery Contingency Operations: CACI Gets Bigger"
http://cryptome.org/rummy-op.htm

Can anyone add some additional dots to connect to shadow gov's agenda?

1. We've got John Negroponte as "czar of US intelligence" kids!

Porter Goss at the CIA despite his close ties to Pakistan's ISI and real terrorists, Douglas Feith and Steve Cambone in the Rumsfeld/Myers DoD and Paul Wolfowitz at the World Bank.

Cheney, Rice, General Boykin...:banghead:

2. I Haven't Seen Anything RIGHT About This Administration Yet...

...so I would have to guess that "EVERYTHING WRONG" is connected to the shadow gvt.
The P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Acts are another "dot to connect", compare them with Hitler's Enabling Act. Compare the circumstances. Compare...

7. Report Critical of Rumsfeld Is Pulled After DOD Protest

By Mike Allen

A government commission studying overseas military bases sent Congress a report that included criticism of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's strategy, then removed the document from the commission Web site after the Pentagon complained that it divulged classified information.

The congressionally appointed panel contends that the 262-page report is based only on public sources, and several commission officials say they believe the Defense Department was annoyed because their conclusions include harsh criticism of some elements of Rumsfeld's plan for streamlining the military.
An official involved in the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the Pentagon's primary complaint appeared to be that the report specified Bulgaria and Romania as countries U.S. forces would rotate through for training, rather than using a more vague regional identification such as Eastern Europe.

The Overseas Basing Commission released a partial version of the report at a news conference on May 9, but now the panel has removed that version from its Web site because of the Pentagon's complaints.

8. Directed energy weapons and other exotic thingies have been deployed

in Afghanistan and Iraq. Hey, it's a shadow government growth industry. The private military companies are really into this.

"Non-Lethal" and Directed Energy Weapons
http://www.datafilter.com/mc/nonlethalWeapons.html

There are plans for these revolutionary weapons, as well as our US armed forces. This is what Rumsfeld means when he talks about "Force Transformation". It isn't about protecting, defending and expanding our Constitution-which is US--it's about RW military empire, much of it space based. (Note the passage concerning base closings in this article.)

9. The wacky world of government contracts

Now Hiring: Park rangers, interrogators
Commentary: The wacky world of government contracts

ARLINGTON, VA (CBS.MW) -- We learned this week that civilian interrogators used by the Army at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad were hired under a Department of the Interior contract for information technology.

Yes, the Interior Department, best known for running the national parks, apparently has a side business administering contracts for other government agencies. And under what is known as a "blanket purchase agreement" for the government to buy technology services from CACI International of Arlington (CAI: news, chart, profile), the Army was able to order up prison interrogators.

Welcome to the wild, wacky world of government contracting.

It's strange enough that Iraq intelligence gathering is contracted out to the private sector, and even stranger that Baghdad prison interrogators are working under an Interior Department technology contract. But what really bothers me is this type of thing is not that uncommon, and it's seen as "efficiency" in the federal government.

It's hard for an outsider to see what's efficient about the complex web of government contracting. I'm sure it made sense, to someone, for the Army to ask a technology company to hire interrogators -- but to me it seems like going to a lumber yard to buy a computer.

Now that the deal is public, the government has ordered investigations.

Interior Department spokesman Frank Quimby said Tuesday the department's inspector general wants to find out if it was proper to hire interrogators under an information technology contract. He was speaking on a conference call, so we don't know if he was able to keep a straight face.
