Links? How about first hand experience? How about being in a family for more than 26 years who are directly involved — did you read the link I listed? I attended Willow Creek from 1999 to end of 2005 and while in a “Men’s Meeting” witnessed a new person being hired to drive the weekly “Pepper Truck” loaded with $100 million in cocaine from Texas. He sat at my table and asked everyone where he could find work. He was an out of work Minister and was sent to talk to the Ministry’s Director who happened to be leading our class. This person after talking to him sent him to talk to one of the Drug criminals who hired him. He was gone for a month or so and when he came back he wasn’t happy.

The family often talked about the Pepper Truck as it was this shipment they were directly involved with laundering money into property for those involved. The Pepper Truck if you can find the articles on the Tribune and Sun-Times site happened around March 2004 If I’m not mistaken.

While at Willow Creek, after services many usually stayed and ate in the Atrium. It was there many times that someone walked around with a pad of paper looking for people to schedule to go places. In this case they wanted someone to go to a store at a certain time and all you needed to do wsa look around but don’t buy anything. My exwife told me that they send out gangs hired by the big stores to monopolize the smaller newer store so they couldn’t service customers and had to spend a lot of time cleaning up afterwards. Eventually all the stores they did this to ended up going out of business.

But there are other setups leading to harming and possibly murder of targets too. When you’re a target, you have to question everyone around you because you could very well be swamped by a gang of people trying to encourage you to do things that you shouldn’t do.

Style, unfortunately I’m not allowed to discuss certain details. What I am telling you should be out in the news later so then you will have “links” to read. The drug system is a fast moving landscape of routines quick planning. Once the Pepper Truck was nailed, they switched over to something else as the customers always need their fix. I was told about the Pepper Truck back in the early 90’s and it was in 2004 when it was taken out. It may have been in operation for almost 10 years.

Detainees Shown CIA Officers’ Photos
Justice Dept. Looking Into Whether Attorneys Broke Law at Guantanamo

By Peter Finn

………………….

Investigators are looking into allegations that laws protecting classified information were breached when three lawyers showed their clients the photographs, the sources said. The lawyers were apparently attempting to identify CIA officers and contractors involved in the agency’s interrogation of suspected al-Qaeda terrorists in facilities outside the United States, where the agency employed harsh techniques.

If detainees at the U.S. military prison in Cuba are tried, either in federal court or a military commission, defense lawyers are expected to attempt to call CIA personnel to testify.
The photos were taken by researchers hired by the John Adams Project, a joint effort of the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, to support military counsel at Guantanamo Bay, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the inquiry. It was unclear whether the Justice Department is also examining those organizations.

………………..

If proved, the allegations would highlight how aggressively both military lawyers and their allies in the human rights community are moving to shed light on the CIA’s interrogation practices and defend their clients.
Defense attorneys, however, described the investigation as an attempt by the government to intimidate them into not exposing what happened to their clients

He succeeded Tom Ridge as United States Secretary of Homeland Security on February 15, 2005.

Since leaving government service, Chertoff has worked as Senior Of Counsel at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Covington & Burling.[1] He also co-founded the Chertoff Group, a risk management and security consulting company, which employs several senior officials from his time as Security of Homeland Security as well as Michael Hayden, a former Director of the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency.[2](Wiki)

CHERTOFF OKs TORTURE

Bizarre Choice for Homeland Czar Deep in Scandal

By James P. Tucker

Controversy continues to swirl around Michael Chertoff, President George W. Bush�s pick to replace Tom Ridge as chief of the Homeland Security Department. As the Senate began considering Chertoff�s nomination on Feb. 2, news broke that Chertoff had been implicated in advising the CIA on the legality of various means of torturing detainees held in U.S. prison camps in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.

But as per its usual stand in the face of criticism, the White House officially denied that Chertoff did anything wrong or that he even had any part in issuing legal advice on torture techniques.

However, according to The New York Times, one current federal official and two former senior officials say Chertoff told the CIA that certain forms of torture were entirely permissible under the currently existing U.S. anti-torture statute.

Chertoff allegedly issued his advice in his capacity as head of the Justice Department�s criminal division following inquiries from CIA employees who wanted legal counsel as to how far they could go in physically manhandling terror suspects who were being interrogated.
Evidently the conflict in the stories between Chertoff and his accusers arises because the Justice Department does not want to be seen as having issued any standards that could be construed as unconditional approval for the use of torture.

It is alleged that Chertoff left open the possibility of other forms of mistreatment, depending on the condition of the suspect.

OK WITH ME IF OK WITH BYBEE

Chertoff told the CIA that it could use forms of mistreatment if they were in accordance with an August 2002 memorandum from Jay S. Bybee of the Office of Legal Counsel to Presidential Counsel Alberto Gonzales.

Bybee�s memo said that harsh interrogation techniques qualified as torture only if they were enough to cause organ failure or imminent death. This is the same memo that has plagued Gonzales, Bush�s pick to replace Attorney General John Ashcroft.

It has been argued that this memo set the legal justification for the CIA and the Department of Defense to use brutal, inhuman methods on terror suspects as documented in reports by the FBI, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Justice Department.

Legal experts say that the memo, along with Chertoff�s recommendations, violates specific international conventions and the anti-torture statute passed by Congress in 1994, Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 113(c), Sec. 2340(a) and 2340(b) which provides for 20 years in prison or even death for torture.

Chertoff has denied that he made any specific recommendations on torture to the CIA or the Pentagon.______________________________________2/05/2005

The CIA today refused to discuss the involvement of Blackwater, but did not deny it either. George Little, a CIA spokesman, acknowledged that there had been a counter-terrorism effort and it amounted to “more than a PowerPoint presentation”.

General Michael Hayden, the director of the CIA from 2006 to this year, today defended the use of outside contractors, saying the agency used “whoever was best suited for the job”. Speaking at a press conference in Washington, he denied that contractors had been used so the CIA could avoid blame. “We do not go outside the agency in order to deflect responsibility,” he said. “Period.”

I suspect the missing nuke is being stored somewhere in the U.S. with the intent of using it in a black flag op, possibly implicating Iran, and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it’s detonated inside the U.S. to reignite the shock and fear factor.

I bet someone has told Obama there’s a missing nuke. I believe this because it explains Obama’s continuation of Bush policies. Obama can say to himself, “Progressives may complain but they don’t know what I know.” In other words it gives him a clear conscience, which is what he seems to be exhibiting regarding his continuation of Bush policies.

It would really suck for all involved if Prince is a double agent, or not as ‘loyal’ as he claims.

And is the Blackwater/XE private navy ship still sailing, or did recent activites involving crew racism and threats of violence dock it?

Well, you know, a captain has absolute authority on his ship. So, y’know, at sea Xe is a country all unto itself. I wonder which country his ship is registered in?

But then, the security pros were no doubt chased out of CIA back when Goss promoted Foggo (of fraud, hookers, and gambling fame).
