I wrote a piece about the Torricelli Amendment. That Amendment said that a field operative had to give the name of any informant who had a police to the CIA HQ in DC and get him celared or else stop using that informant.
That was AFTER the Cold War. But DURING the Cold War, you NEVER sent anything to CIA HQ DC.
But the response to the Torricelli Amendment is instructive about the decades before it.
Not one single field head of station (Yes, I am using the wrong terms, but screw it) sent in a single name to CIA HQ.
In recent times, there was a WOW! discovery. When the KGB files opened up, it turned out that McCarthy was a wimp. There were a LOT more KGB informers in the US Government than McCarthyism ever DREAMED of.
In the decades before those KGB files were opened up, we lived with that.
We DIED by that.
Instead of sending names to DC CIA HQ, it would have been simpler to send them straight to the KGB.
Better. The KGB would have lost them.
The KGB was pitiful, but that’s another story.
So here you are, trying to fight the Reds while you know all the officials who get all the money are either on their side or trust people who are on the other side.
Fun, huh?
Have you ever heard of the Church Commitee? Senator Church exposed the inner operations of the CIA.
Now the fact is that the CIA is a bureaucracy. Most of what it does is absurd.
But wht is not so easy to understand is that the CIA was a bureaucracy with a “TOP SECRET” stamp on it.
The only thing more hopeles than a bureaucracy is a bureaucracy that can hide everything it does behind TOP Secret. So Senator Church was able to uncover what, even by FEDERAL standards, was misbhavior beyond the level of lunacy.
Meanwhile there were those of us who were perfectly aware what the CIA was, but found some ways to make it do some useful things precisely because so much was covered up.
If you look at the records of the Church Committee, they never missed an opportunity to toss NAMES and INFORMERS into their legitimate list of grievances. The KGB got what it wanted, and a lot of people disappeared.
Anybody connected with the Church Committee staff did not have to make names public. They just told their buddies at a party in Georgetown and the guy or gal disappeared.
So are you going to make that connection to the media?
No way. That would be paranoia and McCarthyism. No editor would touch it.
Let’s step back a moment. This was the world we LIVED in.
I remember two lectures from two lawyers I got, years and thousands of miles apart. I remember observing that the two lectures were clones of each other.
They both said that, no matter how old I got, I must NEVER say what really happened. I was warned that leftists NEVER forget.
My boss was ranking Republican onthe House Select Intelligence Committee. I was in the direct line of clearance for ALL civilian employees of the Federeal Government.
Used correctly, these positions give you a certain access to files, including your own.
Mine is as clear as a whistle.
I was never an anti-Communist. Nobody can ever accuse me of doing those awful things.
But there are thousands of others out there who are waiting for the other shoe to fall, while the Greatest Generation brags and brags and brags and brags.

NOT SPAM Well in market speak we have had basically what amounts to the “final
washout”, and now is the time to buy. Personally I can conceive of the
final days of “Liberalism”, and regardless if BW renounces anti-communism
or not Liberalism is aging faster than Elizibeth Taylor. The West’s god
of cheap energy is failing and the halcyon days of acting like messiah
to the dark masses are mostly in the rearview mirror of history. Two things
research “Peak Oil” and recommend a book about the last real white men
fighting the good fight in Rhodesia.

Well that was funny.
I have no doubt that if “they” “knighted” Bob and DDD, all of StormFront would follow down the proverbial Rabbit hole!
Now that is funny for my kind of mind set. I am not saying YOU should find it funny, or even aggree with me.
I got banned from SF for saying things. But Bob is not like that because he knows that if you ban people it is a sign of weakness. And of course it is.
Obviously if SF became a viable movement “They” would TRY to take it over. I am not even going to talk about who “They” are. And of course the majority of followers would not have the integrity of its leaders. That was basically the PRIMARY problem Hitler had to solve. And to solve it was not nice.
For us to solve it ain’t going to be nice either!
Baning PeterGene [Sibelius] from SF is not going to fix it. They are going to have to kill Sibelius!
Point is, the intelligent engagement with “that” is what Bob has been working hard at teaching us. And it was what Hitler had been screaming about: Don’t follow the leader, understand the cause and if it is in your heart then follow the cause.
That means there must be a VIABLE cause. The German National Socialists had a viable cause and THAT is the reason WHY they are now – as some kind of Neo-incarnation – so feared, HATED and repressed. That is why Irving is in jail and not because he denied the “Holocaust”! What “Holocaust”? Do you really belive “They” belive there was a Holocausts? Now i reckon the Bilderberger meeting would know if there exists NOW a viable cause of the Nazi calibre or not [i don’t mean a Nazi cause but a cause of THAT calibre].
And i am not saying – BTW – all leaders are corruptable. But only that you can’t rely on leaders entirely. Leaders have a function but they are human like you and me and can be broken. AND you can’t rely on idiology either because you then have a brain dead mass which is even more easily corrupted than any leader!
That is why “They” want democrazy everywhere.
And who are the “little people”?
I see myself as honestly humble [ not because i am moral but because life forces me to be] but certainly not “little”. SF had to ban me because i am definitely not little! They are small because they can’t see that i have no power over them other than the power they give me. To ban someone gives him immense power! It is silly for them to do that in the context! I don’t do know if these people ever raised children? The context being that i am NOT a leader! I was testing them and they reacted to what – in the big picture – was nothing. That tells me immediately that they can’t handle a heavy attack!!! So i have done my service for the people i love! It is now up to Bob! But i warn you, when the Jew gets into SF he will show you NO mercy AND….. he will always say the right things! He won’t spit the dummy and act an idiot like i did!
“They” exterminated my people so i KNOW how “They” operate.
I have recently [few weeks ago] written a message, not to SF nor the Bob’s Blog.
But to someone who some weeks later took on Der Spiegel in a controversial interview. I believe my letter influenced his response to Der Spiegel.
Here i share it with you:
>>To the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
Dear Sir
I understand that this email will be intercepted and analysed by people whose job it is to determine if it has some value for you and thus it may or may not be forwarded to you.
I appreciate that your time must not be wasted by having to answer letters from crazy and hateful people. My letter may also require translation.
I am an Australian Citizen, but i am of German birth.
My family was destroyed in the greatest tragedy that has befallen mankind! This happened during World War 2 in Germany.
No, we are not Jews, we are GERMANS!
Germans were the victims and we were NOT the abusers in that terrible tragedy for all mankind!
I wrote to my friend in Adelaide, Australia, Dr, Fredrick Toeben of the Adelaide Institute
http://www.adelaideinstitute.org , who has recently visited your country on a lecture tour of some of your Universities, the following words:
>> We are German at heart and blood Fredrick and we know the terror of the enemy the Iranian people may soon face. Our people faced that terror. My family was destroyed by that terror!
