CIA CONSPIRACY THEORIST
The Daily Standard ^ | February 16, 2005 | Thomas Joscelyn

Posted on 02/16/2005 6:14:19 AM PST by sinanju

"...According to Scheuer, the tiny nation of Israel is not a valuable ally in the Middle East, but instead the author of a vast conspiracy to hijack the direction of American foreign policy. Scheuer explained to the CFR crowd that Israel dictates the course of its relationship with the United States. He explained, "we can no longer afford to be seen as the dog that's led by the tail." Scheuer further warned, "I don't think we can afford to be led around, or at least appear to be led around by them."

So, not only has Israel "covertly" targeted the U.S. Congress, used the Holocaust Museum to make Americans "feel guilty," controlled the "the extent and even the occurrence of an important portion of political discourse [in the U.S.]," but it has also made it exceedingly "dangerous" for Scheuer to discuss this grand scheme.

In offering his appraisal of Israel's clandestine activities, Scheuer told the CFR audience that he wished "our clandestine service could do as well." Indeed, reforming this nation's clandestine service is a top priority for the new director of Central Intelligence, Porter Goss. But as Goss moves forward with his reformation of the CIA, perhaps we can get a better understanding of the challenges he faces by remembering Scheuer's views on the U.S.-Israeli relationship. If his opinions are widely held by other members of the CIA, then Goss has more work to do than any of us previously imagined."

Israel may very well be the only remaining true ally that we have in this screwed up world.


We don't have allies, we have dependents.............

Do we have to excerpt articles from the weeklystandard.com?

Examples? His book, "Imperial Hubris", has many. One that bothered me was his statement that most of the Jewish terrorism experts were just "shills for the State of Israel", therefore we must discount everything they say. This is coming from one of the top men at the CIA -- who would have been expected and required to work closely with Israeli anti-terror intelligence.

I've OCR'd dozens of pages of "Imperial Hubris" and I'm in the process of checking line-by-line for errors and converting to HTML. I'll ping you when it's ready and we can discuss it.

Here's some previous discussions:

Ex-CIA Man Uncovers Jewish Conspiracy!

The "Cranks" at the CIA

CIA renditions of terror suspects 'out of control:' report-Boiling prisoner suspects' body parts

An Interview With Anonymous - Author of "Imperial Hubris"

Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror

The Worst Idea

Why I Resigned From the CIA / The agency did its job, but higher-ups endangered the nation.

Bin Laden not 'admirable' (Why the CIA needed a total house-cleaning)

The Evidence Scheuer Ignored

nuffsenuff: This Scheuer guys pretty much lost his marbles huh?

iopscusa: Scheuer needs professional help and vast quantities of medicine...he is wacko. Wonder how many more CIA wackos are bouncing around, ready to go off at any time!

I know of at least one other:

AB "Buzzy" Krongard, the CIA’s third most senior executive until Dec. 2004 -- has also gone on record saying he viewed Bin Laden "not as a chief executive but more like a venture capitalist", That Bin Laden has "turned into more of a charismatic leader than a terrorist mastermind", and that America should just:

Noam Chomsky... the list goes on

Noam Chomsky's one claim to fame, IIRC "Comparative Lingusitics" is just as made up as Ward Churchill's "scholarship", with no empirical verification. Another slick-talking snake oil salesman.

Thanks for the links and looking forward to your "Imperial Hubris" discussion.

One that bothered me was his statement that most of the Jewish terrorism experts were just "shills for the State of Israel", therefore we must discount everything they say.

Interesting, but I was looking for antisemitic (more precisely, anti-Jewish) comments of his, or examples of where he contradicted himself.

Almost. There's also Australia.

And that's absolutely it!

No you didn't.

Australia is our nation's first and best ally and its People are of the same quality of ally as are the Nation of Israel and the Israelis.

And there are no others on Earth that even come close -- let alone the bloody Limeys!
