OPSEC, The 9/11 Operation, and the “DAMS” process (continued:) Link Updated 02.26.2015

By Donald F. Truax - Posting #213 - The 9/11 Operation

Senator, to continue, if one does a chronological overlay of U.S. Govt. policy starting in 1992 through 2001 the 9/11 Operation comes into clear view with respect to the DAMS five discreet phases as shown below. For emphasis, OPSEC P111 list it somewhat different, but, the point here is that OPSEC operations and it's doctrine are what allows the government to run SCADs operations covertly hidden from public view designed with “plausible denial-ability” via compartmentalized components that keep each component of the operation separate should anyone ever try to reverse engineer the said operation.



p.14-#8 states: Effectively obtaining these goods and services ofter "requires effective management of a complex acquisition system encompassing the design, engineering, construction, testing, deployment, sustainment, and disposal of weapons or related items acquired under contract".

The DoD Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) identifies and validates DoD capability requirements through a document known as the Initial Capabilities Document (ICD)

The Defense Acquisition Management System (DAMS) seeks out the best material acquisition alternatives and strategies for fulfilling the ICD requirement communicated by the JCIDS in accordance with the law (FAR DoDI 5000.1/5000.2)

The DOD Acquisition Management System (DAMS); DAMS consist of five "discreet phases":

In 1986 SAIC performed a "security" assessment of the World Trade Center Complex that would have encompassed a review of the structural stress-points of the World Trade Center buildings. Effectively, this specific information would have been pertinent in developing, designing, and engineering a controlled demolition (to include munitions) that would have been both effective and successful in bringing down such structures as the World Trade Center buildings in their "own footprint" in under ten (10) seconds.

The designing, engineering and construction of demolitions for the 9/11 operation against the World Trade Center Complex:

27.SAIC former employee Bobby Ray Inman is a former Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a former Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), a former director of Naval Intelligence, and a former Vice Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

28.SAIC former employee Robert M. Gates is a former SAIC board member and a veteran of the Iran-Contra scandal.

29.SAIC former employee Khidir Hamza was an Iraq defector who falsely testified about WMD in Iraq. ( See: b,c,d,e )

30.SAIC former employee C. Ryan Henry, corporate vice president for strategic assessment and development for the San Diego-based defense contractor Scientific Applications International Corporation (SAIC), leaves to become deputy to Douglas Feith, head of the Defense Department's policy office.

31.SAIC's vice chairman, Admiral William Owens (Ret.), was a member of the Defense Policy Board, advising Donald Rumsfeld. The company's board members include Gen. Wayne Downing (Ret.), who also worked on domestic and international business development for the company, and was a member of the board of The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq.

32.SAIC former employee Jerome Hauer is a Bio-Warfare expert who is well known in New York City for having created former mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in World Trade Center 7 – the building that inexplicably imploded in a freefall on September 11, 2001, without having been hit by an airplane. Hauer’s corporate affiliations include SAIC, Batelle, CSC-DynCorp, Hollis-Eden, and one of the nation’s most powerful private investigative and security firms Kroll Inc., among others. Now BioPort has been added to his resume.

33. SAIC former employee Jerome Hauer became director of the federal Office of Public Health Preparedness (OPHP) in 2002, succeeding Dr. D. A. Henderson from Johns Hopkins Institute... ...Hauer is controversial among those who are able to connect the dots between his person and shady business deals in biopharmacy since 1998. More interesting, he seems to have had prior knowledge about both so called terrorist-attacks: September 11th and Anthrax. But many private investigators claim since months, he let the attacks happen on purpose to continue his career. Is Hauer Lihopsuspect No.1? He started to work for the NIH under Tommy Thompson on September 10, 2001 as an adviser on national security. On September 11th, he told the White House to take Cipro, the antibiotic that works against the anthrax virus, without bothering to reveal his warning to the American nation.

34. SAIC former employee Duane Andrews  who considered Dick Cheney to be his personal, lifelong hero. While he worked for Cheney, Andrews supervised Stephen Cambone, who went on to become Donald Rumsfeld’s “special assistant.” When Andrews left the Pentagon in 1993, he became chief operating officer for SAIC, where he supervised “much of the company's work on secret projects with defense and national security agencies.” Andrews and Cambone both later hired on to the British intelligence firm Qinetiq, along with George Tenet. Coincidentally, The Carlyle Group was a major shareholder in Qinetiq as of February 2003. (See: link b, c)

35. In the 1990s, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), run by Dick Cheney’s protégé Duane Andrews, trained the Saudi Navy and  instructed Saudi military personnel at its company headquarters in San Diego. SAIC had a greater impact on counterterrorism programs in the United States than any other non-government entity and it profited greatly from 9/11.

While SAIC was training the Saudi Navy, the Carlyle/BDM subsidiary Vinnell Corporation was training the Saudi Arabian National Guard.  Simultaneously, Booz Allen Hamilton was managing the Saudi Marine Corps and running the Saudi Armed Forces Staff College.


36. SAIC installed the Saudi naval command, control, and communications C3 system in the early l980s. The current program involves about 50 technicians employed to maintain and upgrade the system. After the C3 system was commissioned and initial training had been completed, the SAIC staff began a phase-down. The Gulf War demonstrated a significant need for both software and systems upgrades, however, and MODA negotiated a staff increase and contract extension with SAIC.


A few more questions concerning SAIC and 9/11? As stated in Valcichs letter p.4., line item #3:

In the summer of 2001, it was suggested that SAIC do a "phased" pilot so that some aspect fo CityTime could be implemented before the change in Administration. This was conditional on SAIC completing the Pilot Phase 1 by year-end, viz. December 2001.

But the city discovered that the status of the builds had been misrepresented. Build 4A was nowhere near completion. This "contrasted drastically" with what had been represented to the City. It's been a year and a half since then and SAIC is yet to complete the Release 1A test: and of course OPA and FISA have yet to be implemented. In fact the date for their implementation has been delayed three times, totaling 11 months.

Specifically, how many offices did SAIC have in NYC?
Specifically, how many offices of SAIC where empty in NYC/VA on the morning of 9/11?
Specifically, who where the engineers on the SAIC team for Build 1-4A in the summer of 2001?
Specifically, how many SAIC engineers did the team comprise of?
Specifically, what where their backgrounds, and skills-sets?
Specifically, what was the specific geolocation address of the City-Time project?
Specifically, was there more than one geoloacation of the City-Time project?
Specifically, how close to the World Trade Center Complex was the City-Time project in the summer of 2001?
Specifically, was the SAIC City-Time team doing work in any of the World Trade Center buildings in the summer of 2001?
Specifically, what "other" government contracts/projects both classified or unclassified was SAIC working on in NYC prior to 9/11 that have yet to be made public?

                                                  June 2001 FBI SAIC Allegations

In June 2001 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) paid SAIC $122 million to create a Virtual Case File (VCF) software system to speed up the sharing of information among agents. But the FBI abandoned VCF when it failed to function adequately. Robert Mueller, FBI Director, testified to a congressional committee, "When SAIC delivered the first product in December 2003 we immediately identified a number of deficiencies – 17 at the outset. That soon cascaded to 50 or more and ultimately to 400 problems with that software ... We were indeed disappointed."  SAIC executive vice president Arnold L. Punaro claimed that the company had "fully conformed to the contract we have and gave the taxpayers real value for their money." He blamed the FBI for the initial problems, saying the agency had a parade of program managers and demanded too many design changes. During 15 months that SAIC worked on the program, 19 different government managers were involved and 36 contract modifications were ordered, he said.

                                        SAIC at Ground Zero On The Morning of 9/11

Coincidentally, the story of Special Forces expert John Blitch and "Ground Zero" began on the first day of his employment with SAIC: September 11, 2001. According to Wired magazine, on 9/11/01 John Blitch happened to be leaving his position as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army's Special Forces to direct the Center for Intelligent Robotics and Unmanned Systems at the Science Applications International Corporation facility in Colorado. John Blitch had been charged by the U.S. Army's Special Forces with heading the Defense Department's Tactical Mobile Robots Program within the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, over the preceding three years.

According to Kevin Ryan, John Blitch had also been in his U.S. Army career chief of unmanned systems at the U.S. Special Operations Command (US SOCOM), a Command which conducts "covert and clandestine missions", and John Blitch had also won an award for his 'ground-breaking research in robot assisted search and rescue conducted during the Oklahoma City Bombing response.' According the Association for Computing Machinery, John Blitch used his Oklahoma City research to 'develop many of the robot platforms that were eventually used at the WTC.'

                                  Ohio replaces voting machine reviewer SAIC (link b, c, d)

Secretary of State Ken Blackwell has replaced a firm slated to help conduct the security review of Ohio''s newly certified voting machines -- after his office discovered that the firm had a financial interest in one of the machine makers. The decision followed his office''s discovery that an arm of Science Applications International Corp. had promised to make a $5 million investment that would benefit Hart Intercivic. Hart was one of four voting machine vendors qualified this summer to sell voting machines to Ohio counties. SAIC, a Fortune 500 research and engineering firm, was to share the job of reviewing the firms'' machines and software. The review was to identify security weaknesses that might jeopardize the integrity of next year''s presidential election. [...] Blackwell said his office''s procedures for identifying potential conflicts "surfaced a potential area of conflict [for SAIC] that saved us from embarrassment and probably legal entanglements." His decision to disqualify SAIC also headed off a second potential conflict for SAIC: It shares a lobbyist with another of Ohio''s preferred vendors, Diebold Election Systems. (

How Could SAIC Miss This? - Indeed "How Could They"?

By Donald F. Truax - Posting #212 - The 9/11 Operation

Caveat: Corruption [also Deception and Mimicry], that is the insertion of intentionally misleading information; corruption amounts to mimicking a known signal so well, that a receiver cannot distinguish the deceptive signal from the real signal.

But Senator.....don't be fooled; there's more to this than just a "payroll" contract scandal. If one exercises "discernment" they can deduce the "real" and "hidden" golden nugget here in that listed contracts are often nothing more than "front" contracts constructed to hide the real intended purpose of the said contract.

Specifically, it's just not the fact that a "contract(s)" existed in NYC prior to 9/11 which is key, but, as they say "things aren't always what they seem" ;)

Pay attention to the "Covert Bloggers Keyboard PeRpS" whilst they chirp chirp chirp.

Effectively, we now can see the "spin" machine at play to obfuscate:

The objective throughout, accordingly, has always been to keep the public in a state of uncertainly, where everything about these events is believable and nothing is knowable, which is the ultimate objective of disinformation.

Steven Pearlstein: How could SAIC miss this? (The Washington Post - Sat Apr 21)

It was just last June that SAIC executives and directors first informed shareholders that there might be a little $2.5 million overbilling problem with the contract and that federal prosecutors had brought criminal charges against six employees of an SAIC subcontractor. Shareholders had to read deep into Note 9 of that quarterly report to learn that there might be “a reasonable possibility of additional exposure to loss that is not currently estimable” that “could have a material adverse impact” on the company’s finances.

It was just six months ago that SAIC got around to firing the three executives (CityTime was expected to cost $63 million when it was begun in 1998, when the city awarded a competitive contract to a subsidiary of MCI. But the cost ballooned tenfold as the undertaking grew into what prosecutors say became an international conspiracy with lead contractors earning kickbacks for each hour worked by consultants, resulting in unneeded staff and inflated hours billed to the city. Much of the fervent drive to install the system could be traced to one powerful administration insider: the budget director, Mark Page. A veteran bureaucrat and descendant of the financier J. P. Morgan.) who were supposed to oversee the New York operations and letting shareholders know that the board of directors had formed a special committee and hired a couple of law firms to get to the bottom of things.

And it was a month ago that SAIC, acknowledging its responsibility in failing to detect a bribery and kickback conspiracy going on right under its corporate nose, agreed to repay the city $500 million of the $635 million it had received for the completed CityTime system. The settlement will allow SAIC to avoid criminal prosecution and the almost certain debarment from government contracting work that would follow.

deduce:

Most significantly, the vast majority of the work on the CityTime project was done not by SAIC employees but by employees and consultants at TechnoDyne under a no-bid, single-source subcontract that violated SAIC’s procedures, doubled the number of people working on the project and generated billing rates that ran as high as $160 an hour.

The Rise of the Vulcans:

During the summer of 1998, George W. Bush met with Condoleezza Rice at the behest of George H.W. Bush at the Bush estate in Kennebunkport, Maine. Rice had been director for Soviet and East European Affairs of the National Security Council under Brent Scowcroft during George H. W. Bush's administration and Scowcroft had been guiding her career ever since, ensuring she came to the attention of Bush Sr. "Eventually he was quite taken with her," Scowcroft recalled in an interview by James Mann for his book Rise of the Vulcans (2004).

According to Coit D. Blacker, Rice and George W. Bush also "bonded at Kennebunkport" in August 1998.[1] The several days of discussions that followed resulted in Rice agreeing to take charge of foreign policy for George W. Bush’s upcoming presidential campaign. Later that year Paul Wolfowitz, a former protégé of George Shultz and Dick Cheney, was taken on as well. Wolfowitz had also served as foreign policy advisor to Bob Dole during the 1996 U.S. presidential election. In early 1999, a team largely drawn from the middle echelons of the first Bush administration began to act as foreign policy advisors to George W. Bush

Spherion Will Takes it's London Subsidary Public - January 20, 2001

The Spherion Corporation (Spherion consultants are now at the heart of the criminal case), a recruitment and consulting company based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said yesterday that it planned to take its London-based subsidiary, the Michael Page Group, public in an initial public offering that analysts expect to raise $:800 million ($1.2 billion). Spherion acquired Michael Page in 1997 for $578 million. Spherion said it expected to sell an 85 percent stake in the unit to institutions and brokerage firms and use the proceeds to buy back its own stock.

FBI found direct ties between 9/11 hijackers/Saudis living in Florida - ribit ribit ribit

In addition, three of the four future hijackers had lived in Venice — just 10 miles from the house — for much of the year before 9/11. Atta, the leader, and his companion Marwan al-Shehhi, had been learning to fly small airplanes at Huffman Aviation, a flight school on the edge of the runway at Venice Municipal Airport.

A block away, at Florida Flight Training, accomplice Ziad Jarrah was also taking flying lessons. All three obtained their pilot licenses and afterwards,
in the months that led to 9/11, spent much of their time traveling the state, including stints in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale and Delray Beach, among other areas.

W.H.A.T....are you kidding me? Hmm...I guess I'm not the only TI?

VARs Flee from Massive NYC Fraud Case

VAR Executives Flee Country After Indictments In New York Corruption Case

Two executives from a former VAR500 company have fled the country after being indicted as part of an investigation into a New York City payroll project, according to reports.

Reddy Allen, CEO, and his wife Padma Allen, president and CFO, ran TechnoDyne, a Wayne, N.J.-based VAR that allegedly received more than $400 million as a subcontractor in the city's now infamous CityTime payroll project, fled several weeks ago to their native India after being subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury, according to the New York Daily News.

TechnoDyne was No. 295 on CRN's 2010 VAR500, and Padma Allen was previously named in CRN's Diverse 100 list last year. On May 31, the company shut down and fired all employees, according to Newsday. Phone calls to TechnoDyne's Wayne, N.J., office were not answered.

SAIC Technodyne CityTime Scoop (Thanks Suzanna :)

Denault will co-operate with the DOI and implicate the head of CityTime fraud, Joel Bondy.

(How Spherion’s performance was rated by Mr. Bondy had potential implications for the company’s ability to stay on the job and to win future city work.

Mr. Bondy, records show, was deeply impressed with the company’s work. According to two years of evaluations, for the periods from February 2008 through 2009, made available through a state Freedom of Information Law request, he gave the firm an overall rating of excellent, the highest possible level, for its work on CityTime.

And for each of the three areas covered in the evaluations, including fiscal administration and accountability, Mr. Bondy wrote the same seven-word comment in praise of Spherion: “The contractor’s work has consistently exceeded expectations.”)

Joel managed both Denault and Mark Mazer. Imagine being the exec director of OPA and not knowing what your two senior heads were doing on a $130 million/year project. Two similar structures to fraud the taxpayer. Denault + Technodyne on one side and Mazer + DA Solutions + Primeview on the other.

Jellybean is one of the managers under Denault. At least 4 other managers under Denault will be implicated and Technodyne.... look out for them

Spherion lost track of it's responsibilities and afraid of losing consultants to DA Solutions and Primeview ignored the red flags and went along with " the application is doing well and on track..."

Now lets look at the "big picture" that the public doesn't have a clue about:

Listed below are tactics that these CRIMINALS use to retain their “Plausible Deniability”:

Scientific Suggestion: Purpose is to conceal their actions.

Tactic of Replacement: Philosophical view that is used as “bait” to induce the collective to look in another direction i.e. to induce targets to spend their energy in the wrong direction, while the hidden plan un-folds.

Tactic of Counterfeits: When “truth” becomes evident, “others” ideals and symbols are employed for a defense, which, is a delay tactic that allows time to reconstruct a “false truth” leading a reaction in another direction.

Tactic of Inversion: To flip or discredit “proper” ideals that might appear relative, thereby putting the “proper” ideal in a condition that no longer poses a threat.

Tactic of Ricochet: To induce “targets” to take action against another “target” that eventually “ricochets” back on the original “target”, while THEY watch each target destroy each other.

Tactic of Scape Goat: To shift attention onto “other elements” those who are not responsible, thereby directing the reaction against “other elements”.

Tactic of Dilution: Mixing with something else.

Tactic of Surrogates: To act through “others”.

Progress of Dissolution: Processes of dissolving “death”.

Redirection of Action: Mixing “other elements into action, thereby stopping action against the threat posed to themselves.

Tactic of Deliberate Misidentification of a principle with its representatives: To discredit a representative of a given principle thereby discrediting the principle. This tactic employees “character assassination”.

Tactic of Replacing Infiltrations: A Trojan horse, employed to infiltrate an organization or person for the purpose of subversive control or distraction of said target.

"Covert Action" - Confrontation or Collaboration? - or Meme?

By Aki J. Peritz and Eric Rosenbach - Posting #211

A report or more cultural programming? Should the CIA have briefed Congress on secret intelligence programs? What is the legal basis for the President's electronic surveillance program? Is the DNI actually in charge of the Intelligence Community?

Debate about intelligence issues has dominated public discourse since the attacks on 9/11. Unfortunately, the size, complexity and closed nature of the U.S. Intelligence Community often stymie individuals from differentiating fact and fiction on intelligence issues. The vast majority of members of Congress face an even more daunting task: They must provide important oversight with only a very limited background on intelligence. As the 9/11 Commission noted, "Few members of Congress have the broad knowledge of intelligence activities or the know-how about technologies employed."

The former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Bob Graham, believed that members of Congress needed a non-partisan, objective reference that would provide a foundation for improving basic knowledge of intelligence issues currently facing this country. Hence, Eric Rosenbach and Aki J. Peritz, drafted Confrontation or Collaboration? Congress and the Intelligence Community at the Harvard Kennedy School in order to meet that need.

The revised version of Confrontation or Collaboration provides the public with a similar reference. Each chapter is a succinct memo that highlights important information about the Intelligence Community or an issue critical to our national security. The book begins by presenting basic organizational and legal issues pertinent to the Intelligence Community. Next, it traces the history of controversial topics like electronic surveillance and interrogations. Finally, it closes by highlighting new and current challenges that will undoubtedly dominate policymakers' agendas in the next several years.

The goal of Confrontation or Collaboration is to provide a guide to the complexities of the Intelligence Community to policymakers, legislators, students and the public. We hope this book leads to more informed debates and decisions about critical national security issues facing our nation.

The Oklahoma City bombing: A step toward 9/11?

By Kevin Barrett - Posting #210

This Thursday, April 19th, 2012, is the 17th anniversary of the OKC bombing.


In 1993, the FBI built the bomb that killed six people and injured more than a thousand in the World Trade Center. (The FBI informant who hatched and supervised the "radical Muslim plot" is on tape discussing this fact with his FBI handler, asking "why didn't the FBI build a dud, as promised?")

The first WTC bombing was a test designed to find out just how deeply the American people were hypnotized. Would Americans accept the official version of events, even if it required them to believe that a "terrorist" returned to the rental center to get his deposit back on the bomb truck?!


On April 19th, 1995, another FBI-assisted mass-hypnosis-test was conducted - this time in Oklahoma City. Would the American people buy the notion that a fertilizer bomb in a truck parked outside a building could blow up the whole building from the inside? Once again, Americans passed their hypnosis test with flying colors.

Then on 9/11/2001, it was time for the big event. Americans were permanently infantilized through trauma-assisted ultra-intensive mass hypnosis. If they believed this, they would, in the future, believe everything Big Brother told them.

And they would have…except for a little thing called the truth movement.

Kevin here's a little more "historical" context to put things in perspective:







In an interesting coincidence, while the Carlyle/BDM subsidiary Vinnell Corp was training the Saudi Arabian National Guard, SAIC was training the Saudi Navy and bringing Saudi military personnel to company headquarters in San Diego for further study. Simultaneously, Booz Allen Hamilton was managing the Saudi Marine Corps and running the Saudi Armed Forces Staff College. Vinnell now works with SAIC to train the Iraqi military.









GIG-BE was awarded to SAIC in 2001 for $877 million. This contract was for the development, instantiation, and maintenance of the GIG-BE network. SAIC instantly divided the equipment and tasks into subcontracts. These subcontracts are as follows:

. Ciena Corporation- optical transport segment worth $200-$300 million over two years
. Sycamore Networks- optical cross-connect segment worth $100-$150 million
. Cisco Systems- multiservice provisioning platform segment worth $150-$200 million
. Juniper Networks- core IP router portion worth $150-$200 million
. By Light- installation and maintenance worth $100-$150 million

(((3))) SAIC Banks Billions from Top Secret America (((3)))

By VVV Public Relations - Posting #208

The Terrorism Industrial Complex a.k.a. “Top Secret America” may sound like tin foil hat conspiracy to some, but many of you will remember it as the name of an extensive investigation by the Washington Post, whose editors’ intro says: “[This] is a project nearly two years in the making that describes the huge national security buildup in the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks… When it comes to national security, all too often no expense is spared and few questions are asked – with the result an enterprise so massive that nobody in government has a full understanding of it. It is, as Dana Priest and William M. Arkin have found, ubiquitous, often inefficient and mostly invisible to the people it is meant to protect and who fund it.”

Top Secret America

Short of storming the Beltway, the American people may never learn just how much of their money has been pillaged, plundered and simply wasted in the name of “national security” since 9/11, but our research suggests it could easily be an amount that exceeds not only the billions in bailout bucks given to the Banksters since 2008 but the trillions paid to the War Profiteers since 2001. In fact, just as the money being squandered on militarily useless F-22 and F-35 fighter jets will probably exceed our $1.3 trillion federal deficit (see our previous reports), the often untraceable trillions poured into the post-9/11 “too big to fail”, “war on terrorism”, “homeland security” and “black ops” troughs by our corporate-owned politicians and well-lobbied bureaucrats might easily approximate our $15 trillion national debt.

U.S. Debt Clock

One of the hundreds of “security contractors” feeding at those troughs is SAIC – formerly Science Applications International Corporation. Headquartered in McLean VA, SAIC is “a Fortune 500 scientific, engineering, and technology applications company working in national security, energy and the environment, critical infrastructure, and health”. The company’s 46,000+ employees serve the Department of Defense (DoD), the intelligence community, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other federal government agencies. SAIC had revenue of $11.1 billion for its fiscal year 2010.

Top Secret America SAIC

Since 1995 SAIC has contributed over $3.8 million to political campaigns, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, with Barack Obama and John McCain being the top recipients. That amount is eclipsed by the more than $24 million they’ve invested in lobbying since 1997. And over that same period, SAIC’s penalties for federal contractor misconduct have far exceeded their pay-to-play payola: SAIC paid a $24.9 million settlement for rigging bids on General Services Administration (GSA) contracts, $5 million to the Air Force for false claims and defective pricing, and all told over $32 million for a dozen different instances of government fraud, ethics and other violations. Of course, all their penalties and payola combined is chump change compared to the more than $63 billion in defense, security and other federal contracts SAIC has bagged over the past ten years.

Apparently its all forgive and forget at the GSA, because just last week they awarded SAIC a $5 billion telecom systems contract – forgiving their history of bid-rigging, and forgetting that the City of New York recently demanded a $600 million refund on the botched and corruption-riddled “CityTime” system that SAIC installed for them.

SAIC will also be getting at least a $90 million bite out of the $4 billion or so that’s been budgeted to relocate the Department of Homeland Security to what was once St. Elizabeths Hospital, an insane asylum. Conceived in the Mad Hatter days of Bush-Cheney, the megabucks DHS relocation boondoggle is yet another fiscal insanity that has continued unaffected by any imagined wave of “Change” in 2008. SAIC’s piece is to implement a “secure and scalable” IT infrastructure.

Why SAIC would be trusted to provide DHS with a “secure” anything for their new 4.5 million square foot Ministry of Truth facility is a mystery to me. After all, it was only a few weeks ago that they acknowledged the theft of tapes containing the confidential personal information of 4.9 million Tricare military beneficiaries that were allegedly sitting in the car of one of their employees.

Tricare Military Beneficiaries Being Informed of Stolen Personal Data

Anyway… False flag op or not, there can be no debate that since 11 September 2001 trillions of taxpayer dollars have been spent to beat the boogeymen, real or contrived. Has it been worth it? Do you think Americans are “safer” today than we were ten years ago? If so, has any security gained been worth the cost, and the personal privacy and freedoms lost?

No Break Point - The Snake ALWAYS Show It's Ugly Head

MCSE Looking For Opportunity Outside The U.S.

An FBI Whistleblower's Experience: Jane Turner's Blog

Every whistleblower counsels almost anyone who reaches out to them for advice, that the road of a whistleblower is exceedingly difficult, and filled with terrible events. Intimidation, reprisal, being ostracised, loss of friends, and the destruction of a career are typical. Loved ones leave you, and friends are tired of hearing over and over again of the misjustice that was perpetrated against you. The low number of federal whistleblowers demonstrates the world in which we live. A world that is terribly hostile to those who speak truth to those in power.

(snip)

Senator Charles Grassley (R) and others have pointed out that no one in the FBI management team has been fired or punished for 9/11, and in fact, several have been promoted. Later, I will name not only those individuals involved in 9/11 who were negligent, but also name those in my case who were involved in that obstructionism, criminal negligence and careerism, and were subsequently promoted. One of the FBI managers in my case who was involved in misconduct, was also involved in the Moussoui investigation.
