Ex-FBI Translator claims foreign infiltration of DOD
Military.com ^ | October 21,2009 | Bryant Jordan

After seven years of forced silence, a government whistleblower is opening up on what she learned while working as a Turkish translator for the FBI in the wake of 9/11.

In sworn testimony to attorneys on Aug. 8, Sibel Edmonds described a Pentagon where key personnel helped pass defense secrets to foreign agents or provided them names of knowledgeable officials who were vulnerable to blackmail or co-option.

And firmly rooted in this espionage program in the 1990s, according to Edmonds’ deposition, were two men who, with the election of George W. Bush as president in 2000, found themselves in the Pentagon: Douglas Feith, who would head the Office of Special Plans, and Richard Perle, who would become chairman of the Defense Advisory Board.

Heck, all you need do is visit the new food court just in from the Metro entrance and most (if not all) workers behind the counter are illegals. I swear it is third world country there and no English spoken.

read the whole article. They didn’t say those men were foreign rather they were involved in a foreign espionage operation. That is why I hate having to post excerpts. Everyone should read the entire article

Um, NO. Everybody working at Pentagon concessions has been subjected to a background investigation.

There are plenty of foreigners working there. Illegal though? I don't know.

People working the Pentagon Burger King have undergone more investigation than the POTUS.

Yeah. What do Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, and Larry Franklin and Marc Grossman (mentioned in the article) all have in common?

I have been wanting to rant on this for a while.

There are many interested parties who attempt to influence our federal government and its actions by recruiting Agents of Influence. Among the “agents of influence” are politicians, SES (Senior Executive Service), civil servants, and anyone else capable of providing intel or influencing Federal government decisions. The parties trying to gain influence include foreign powers, interest groups (e.g., environazis), corporations (e.g., Goldman Sachs), unions, various causes, and even religious groups (e.g., scientology...OK, they’re not really a religion but they did try to infiltrate the CIA and FBI).

The normal way to gain control over an Agent of Influence is through money, ideology, or blackmail.

For example, I would bet my last dollar that a few congresscritters have secretly been enriched by the Saudis and other OPECKERS to oppose drilling in the USA in order to protect their cartel’s profits.

In order to root out such Agents of Influence I propose that that under the Palin Administration the IRS shall conduct deep, intrusive audits of all members of Congress, all SES, and all senior civil servants. ALL OF THEM REGARDLESS OF PARTY. A deep audit will uncover suspicious money transfers, windfall profits on real estate or other investments, large gifts such as cars, etc. Then the Justice Dept. needs to PROSECUTE anyone who has been evading taxes, taking bribes, or aiding outside groups.

The criminal Agents of Influence will run for the exits at the first sign that such a serious crackdown is on the way.

This cleanup is the prelude to a 80-100% reduction in force of all civil servants. We need to screen and vet the remaining workers to retain only the honest, un-bribable few. There are few critical Federal functions that cannot be better done by outside contractors.

Such a drastic reduction in the civil service workforce is one of the primary strategies for fixing the runaway federal deficit.

We are a mini-UN to our elite. No more constitutional republic. We are here for “diversity” - a collection of foreigners parked here to suck out whatever they can get for themselves and their foreign “peoples.”

Larry Franklin is Roman Catholic, but he was fingered in the probably Obama mediated smear because he understands the threat of Iran. That is why he is lumped with Messrs Feith and Perle.
