I could give a Ted talk on the primary problem in our culture being a lack of familiarity with the muses. Thalia, Terpsichore and Polyhymnia are particularly missed.

Im okay with fast and loose history in a good story like this.

Not accurate to history but so good and such a fun watch while being emotional.

TURNER, USN Subj: Recent reduction in intake of Navy's non-satellite collection systems 1. The reduction in the intake of certain intelligence collection systems has decreased considerably the Navy's ability to respond to the National need for loaation and track infornation on Soviet missile equipped surface vessels and missile carrying submarines. This reduction in collection has resulted from several causes as outlined below. a. Soviet naval emission control (EMCON) has continued to become more effective, their use of secure communications has increased steadily and their deployment of significant naval forces into ever greater geographical areas have all combined to overtax our collection capabilities. The impact of these developments on just the HEDF and SOSUS systems has been as follows: (1) HEDF the use of (b) Surface Ships. In recent months the Soviets have tested transmissions in ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and shore- to-ship modes. They have also employed a mobile terminal to relay from afloat units to the USSR. The use of such a command and control system negates our conventional HEDE systems as a source of locating information on Soviet combatant units. If employed in certain areas of the world and if used on frequencies that propagate only to medium ranges, these 1 signals will not be intercepted by existing intercept sites.. The sites already suffer from definiencies in spectrum coverage. (c) Aircraft. In July 1969, two flights of BEAR D aircraft flew into the North Atlantic. In both and were located only by fixing their cases the flights observed HF EMCON transmissions, once they departed radar coverage in the 7a93 SECRET TOP SECRET - UMBRA EARPOr 3 •HANDLE VIA BYEMAN CONTROL SYSTEM ONLY 0 3 _ copies Hoilla via BYEMA™

This coincides with Task Force 157 begining its covert HUMINT work. The Leningrad area, Black Sea Ports, and Kola Inlet ended up withbso many eyes. Downloaded by [McGill University Library] at 02:22 21 November 2014 Task Force 157: The US Navy's Secret Intelligence Service, 1966-77 JEFFREY T. RICHELSON Testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee in 1973, Rear Admiral W.D. Gaddis, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Logistics), noted that the 'Navy's human intelligence collection program is expanding operations in sensitive areas'.' The remainder of his remarks were deleted from the public version of his testimony. At the time only a few individuals knew that Admiral Gaddis was referring to a small secret intelligence unit designated Task Force 157. Since the first public revelation of its existence, in 1977, Task Force 157's activities have been the focus, or part of the focus, of a number of articles and books. It has been described as everything from a 'low-buck, low-profile outfit' to 'an intelligence gathering arm of the US navy which ... evolved into a highly secretive CIA covert action or "dirty tricks" organization'.? The actual story of Task Force 157 is that of the creation, operation and demise of a military human intelligence collection organization whose very existence was secret through all but the last few months of its existence. Indeed, had it not been for two circumstances, discussed below, the existence of the task force might remain a secret even today. Only been in the last few years has any meaningful documentation concerning its formation and activities become available. Use of the Freedom of Information Act has resulted in the declassification, in whole or in part, of the original Department of the Navy order establishing a clandestine naval human intelligence program, three annual histories of the unit produced by the task force, a composite history written several years after its disestablishment, and some memoranda related to its di…

DISPATCH JONATHAN MARSHALL The friends of Michael Hand ICHAEL HAND WAS tough. He could take the heat. Highly decorated for bravery in Vietnam, he boasted, "I'm frightened of nothing. I've killed men from behind a machine gun while under fire and out-numbered." But even Hand had to admit that Vietnam "was nothing compared to the mess I've been left with to clean up this bank." Frank Nugan, his partner at the Nugan Hand bank in Australia, had been found with his bul-let-riddled brains splattered all over the inside of his car. Nugan had departed from this world leaving the bank with millions in debts and unrecorded trans-actions. As Australian commonwealth police, Royal Commission investigators, and agents of the CIA, FBI, and U.S. Customs began sniffing around, ugly rumors began to surface about the bank's ties to prominent politicians, to drug runners and mobsters in Australia and the United States, and even to the CIA. It was time to run. Hand ran. Built like a linebacker, Michael Hand was a wholesome, all-American boy. He studied forestry at Syracuse University, then worked bricfly as a teacher in Los Angeles. In 1965 he went off to fight in Vietnam. He served in the army Special Forces, whose exploits included secret missions for the CIA into North Victnam, Laos, and Cambodia. It was then, perhaps, that he made the first of a long string of less than savory friendships. In a rough war, Hand's buddies were the roughest of the lot. Hand won the Distinguished Service Cross for rescuing his commanding officer during a savage firefight in the highlands of central Vietnam. Hand left Vietnam in 1968 to settle in JONATHAN MARSHAII. is an associate editor of INQUIRY. INQUIRY Sydney, where he and other American soldiers had so oftcn gone for "rest and recreation."

"Im glad the CIA is immoral" by Thomas W. Braden officially blew an already exposed operation but more importantly signalled an abandonment of the non communist left. The China Lobby deliberately refused to understand that our best allies againat communism often had socialist ideals.

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu proposed annexing parts of the Gaza Strip to maintain Smotrich's support in the government.

Plan gives Hamas several days to agree to a ceasefire, or annexation will begin. Netanyahu informed his cabinet that the Trump Administration has approved the plan. -Haaretz

The speed with which staunch supporters of Israel’s crimes are turning on it the moment popular opinion shifts goes to show how little their support had to do with morality and supporting Jewish people. Nothing changed apart from your popularity.

Israel has used food as a weapon of collective punishment in Gaza for many decades while screaming "blood libel" any time it was acknowledged. In 2006 Olmert's govt said it was "putting Gaza on a diet."

Israel's policy, with bipartisan US support, inevitably led to starving toddlers.

Bayo Pawley article.

Why did life magazine invest $15,000?

In ad spend magazines were TV before TV became a behemoth. Unfortunately the Congress for Cultural Freedom, Time Magazine, Life Magazine and the Saturday Evening Post were all CIA propaganda assets. Time Life even sponsored a Cuban Exile/Mafia raid against Cuba to try and destroy Kennedy

Relax Guy! Its just a mural.

It is a desecration of the martyr doctors who gave their lives studying "hunger disease" in the Warsaw Ghetto to pretend not to understand that mass starvation is a drawn out process that must be instituted as a genocidal goal to reach the point where people en mas drop dead from it. Remember them

More strongly worded letters and deep concerns from all the nations arming a genocide that a genocide is taking place.

Mass media acting astonished that a genocide is horrific after years of manufacturing consent for it.

“Our first priority is coming home safe at the end of the shift.”

Ok, didn’t realize you were actually a security guard, you can refund your overpayment and renounce your pension at the desk over there.

Given the subject matter and presence of federal police, I’d say the protesters keep things light. Several dancing, one told me “oh shit, my Colombian side is coming out,” and began dancing. A few others dancing now. It’s always fascinating to me how much dancing there is at LA protests.

So much is truly wild about the operation but I also want to FOIA records about the stupid fender bender with my dad. lol. It ended fine because the local pd backed my dad but they escalated for no reason. Endlessly amused by the stats 160 arrests, $145 mil seized, 1 dent in Chris's Suburban

Casablanca, an Epic Money Laundering Story Without bankers knowing it, for three years there was a time bomb ticking in a nondescript storefront export-import business 15 miles south of Los Angeles, in a city called Santa Fe Springs. The massive operation, whose underlying investigation was by the U.S. Customs Service, lasted 30 months. Operation Casablanca is the largest money laundering case ever ? three banks and 28 bankers have been indicted for money laundering. At least 40 other banks and businesses have, for the moment dodged the criminal bullet, but face millions of dollars in loss through civil penalty and forfeitures. 1 As if taking their cue from Claude Rains at the end of Casablanca to ?round up the usual suspects,? U.S. Customs Service agents on May 18 rounded up 28 bankers, and more than 130 other persons charged with money laundering and drug trafficking in the largest criminal money laur doring case ever filed.
