WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: You Don’t Ever Wanna Do The Things I’ve Done…
by Ulsterman on January 18, 2012 with 95 Comments in News
The second installment of our latest interview with a longtime D.C. political operative reveals a story once kept silent – but now finally finding its voice. ( Part one HERE )
UM: …Just start as you did before – before you decided to not include it in that previous interview.
Insider: I had a good reason for that…still not sure we want to go there. What’s done is done and all I got are thoughts. Suggestions. Bad feelings.
UM: That’s fine – the story has worth.
Insider: Another drink then…and another story for your…for whatever you think it might…
UM: Go ahead. The convention. Denver. 2008.
Insider: Yeah…yes-yes-yes. Yes we fu–ing can. Hope. Change. All bullsh-t…
So let me…let me put it – I’ll start if off like this…
There’s a fella…he’s West Coast…I’m East Coast. Great guy. Hell of a nice guy. Smart. Real sharp.
UM: You’re both – you both do the same thing? Within the Democratic Party?
Insider: Yeah – that’s right. I’ve been at it longer. I’m older…but he’s good. Connected. Well regarded. Funny son-of-a-bitch. Well liked…that’s not easy to do…with what we do…being well liked. I got…plenty…plenty of people don’t care much for me. Comes with the-the job. What it…sometimes what we are required to do.
You know…you know I destroyed a man’s career for the good of the party? That’s what they told me. For the good…they wouldn’t listen to reason. So drop the goods. Get it to that faggot at the Times. Wife. Kids. Shit…that’s all…that’s—
UM: (interrupts) I need you to focus on Denver…the convention…your friend. Focus…
(Pause)
Insider: (smiles) Yeah…my friend. Maybe a friendly acquaintance…he was everybody’s friend though. Even our Republican counterparts liked the guy. Respected him. We didn’t see each other all that much…but there were emails. A phone call here and there. He was a primary contact for the campaign out there…California, had some good people working with us in Nevada. Dealing with the union f-cks out there. J-sus did they screw Hillary on that. I’ve seen some dirty sh-t go down…but that was…they stole it. Bribed it. And she has to know. Has to know…
UM: The convention. Go back to that.
Insider: Ok – yeah…the fu–ing convention…
I’m gonna go there and then jump back…then bring it back…that’s how it went for me. That’s how I started to put it together…what…what left me – what got me worried. Thinkin’ they might of…that something very-very bad went down.
The Denver convention. Big success, right? Barack Obama…the media…just another easy campaign success for us. Everyone falling over themselves to say how brilliant…how fu–ing brilliant Obama was.
UM: You weren’t there.
Insider: No…they had me…I was back east. I watched it on the television like everyone else.
UM: But your friend was there. From the West Coast…the other operative.
Insider: Oh yeah…he was there. He was helping organize it all. That’s how he got so close…closer than I had ever been to Obama up to then.
UM: And he didn’t think of the convention as a success? Is that right?
Insider: No, that’s not right. Everyone knew the convention was a success. Can’t deny that…what a show, right?
…it’s what he saw behind the…behind the scenes.
UM: From the president?
Insider: He wasn’t the f–cking president yet. He was still just a do-nothin’ Senator bought and paid for by those Chicago boys.
UM: Explain what your friend saw – “behind the scenes” as you put it.
Insider: Oh…what he saw – what he saw…yes indeed. What he saw was sh-t that didn’t feel right. What he saw was…was a guy who came in draggin’ and a guy who left bouncin’ off the f-cking walls. What he saw…what he heard was a godd-mn…dammit…I’m forgettin’ how he told it. The term he used…
UM: The chant?
Insider: Yeah – the chant…but he used a term for it and I can’t…it was a word…ah, dammit to hell…
UM: How about you go back to the coming in dragging part…explain that a bit more.
Insider: Not much to explain…Obama comes in…he’s been there already right. Several practice runs…fired up the teleprompter, going over the stage marks…all the typical sh-t. When he’s out practicing…the family is all there, right? But when he’s in the back area…no family. They are…they are in different areas. My friend – he thought that was a bit odd.
UM: The president – Barack Obama…he appeared fine during the rehearsals?
Insider: Sure-sure…he wasn’t close to Obama at that point – but he could see him from a distance…could hear him. He sounded…looked like the candidate on television. The interviews. Smooth. Confident. Charismatic.
UM: But then?
Insider: But…then…later in the back area. Like a meet n greet area…and an adjoining room. Private. Closed off. So my friend is back there…some others too – they are hoping to catch the candidate coming in. You know…everybody wants to shake his hand. All that sh-t.
UM: And Obama comes in.
Insider: Yeah – like I said…draggin’. He’s…he looks wiped. Wiped out. His color is all off. His eyes…he barely…my friend says…my friend SAID…he looked right through them. Like his eyes couldn’t focus enough to see them…and a big fella…Black guy…he was…it looked like he was holding Obama up. Making their way to the-the room…the private area.
UM: Did everyone notice Obama’s condition?
Insider: I don’t know – my friend didn’t say anything about that…but he sure as hell noticed. He thought maybe Obama had gotten sick…it’s not uncommon on the campaign trail. You eat some sh-t food sometimes.
…so Obama is holed up in this room. People are kinda mingling about I guess…maybe ten, fifteen minutes go by. Then a couple folks march on in – that’s how he put it to me…they marched on in…very purposeful. One looked like Secret Service…the other was a woman. Didn’t get too specific. Wish he would have but he didn’t. The woman goes in – the other fella…he stays outside the door. She’s in there for maybe another five minutes…she comes back out and tells ‘em to clear the hall. Clear out. Says they need about ten minutes to prepare.
UM: Prepare?
Insider: That’s what he told me – she said they needed a little time to prepare.
UM: For what?
Insider: Hell if I know.
UM: So did he clear out with the others? Your friend?
Insider: No…he goes up to the guy outside the door…outside the room Obama, the big fella, and the woman are in. He’s just concerned…wants to know if he can help in any way. You know, maybe go get something for a bad stomach?
…But the guy outside the door – he ain’t messin’. It’s all business. Serious. He pushes my friend right on the chest – hard…tells him to step away and to clear the hall. And that’s where…that’s when he hears the chanting. The…he said it sounded like…like a…Gregory chant. That’s the term he used. A Gregory chant.
UM: Gregorian?
Insider: Eh? Greg…yeah…Gregorian.
UM: Was your friend Catholic?
Insider: Catholic…I…I don’t know. But that was the term there…Gregorian. It sounded like a Gregorian chant coming from the room…the room Obama was holed up inside.
UM: Could they have been praying? Singing?
Insider: Maybe..but…this group…the Obamas…prayin’ has never seemed like their thing. The team…they had a bunch of religion jokes you know. Even by then it seemed clear to most of us…like I just told you – Obama is an atheist. Now I’ve developed that little line of reason…0f reasoning later – down the road…but we all figured it then too.
UM: And his wife – Michelle…no sign of her?
Insider: I don’t think so…like he told me…they were never together except on that stage. No wife. No kids. Not until it was showtime apparently.
UM: So what then? Your friend is stopped outside the door and he hears…he hears what is described as chanting…is he the only one around at this point?
Insider: Don’t know that – he didn’t say.
He cleared out – like they told him.
UM: Does he mention this to anyone else there?
Insider: Then? I don’t know…he would mention it later though. I do know that. He told it to some others…that’s a big part of this…where this story…where this is headed. It’s where he f-cked up. It’s where…it’s…(trails off)
UM: That’s not it…tell about when he sees Obama come out of the room again.
Insider: Yeah…it’s maybe 20 or 30 minutes later…he makes his way back into the hall…there’s already a bunch of people there. Somehow the message went out to come back in…I don’t know. So they’re all mingling…the mood is great. Nothing being said about Obama being sick, or acting strange…nothing.
UM: But your friend is still wondering…concerned?
Insider: Oh yeah…that seems natural, right? The guy who is gonna accept the nomination on national television…the guy who is probably gonna be the next President of the United States…he is carried into a room not more than an hour ago? Hell yes you would think he would be wondering what the f-ck is up with that.
UM: But nobody else was concerned?
Insider: I told you – I DON”T KNOW THAT.
UM: Right then…go ahead. Keep going…
Insider: So…you got about…there’s a ton a people now waiting to see the…to see Obama make his way out into the hall. The ceremony is firing up…you can hear the enormous crowd in the stadium…whatever worries there might have been…people mighta just forgot them. Easy to do in that kind of environment. It’s a f-cking rock concert you know. A convention…that last night…the build up…an amazing thing. Like a drug those moments. You get a taste of it…you want more.
UM: So Obama comes back out – he leaves that room.
Insider: Michelle Obama comes out first.
UM: She does? But she never went in…
Insider: Obviously she went in at some point…just…my friend didn’t see that. He wasn’t around. Just…just shut up and let me do this…get through this. Keep your mouth shut for a bit…
…Obama’s wife comes out, there’s another woman carrying a bag thing. That would be makeup. Pretty sure of that. She was always…the amount of cover that Obama wears…I told you about that before right? Cakes that sh-t on. 24/7. It’s why his color seems to change so much…different brand, or product…something like that.
So they come out…the First Lady – soon to be…Michelle…she just walks on by. Not a word to anyone. She’s got a secret service guy who is alongside her. Out she goes and not a word. My friend notices somebody puts their hand on her – trying to say high or something…it’s harmless…but the Secret Service fella, he is right there to intervene. Pushes this other woman…she gets pushed back and the…Obama’s wife…she just keeps on walking. No smile – nothin’.
Another five minutes or so and out comes Obama and a few others – the big fella from earlier, the woman who went in after them, and now there appears to be a couple of Secret Service alongside them.
UM: Was that woman Jarrett?
Insider: Told you – don’t know. He…my friend – he didn’t say…
…so out of that room they come. Everybody is excited…including Barack Obama. It’s like…it’s like one man went into that room and another one came out. An entirely different man walked out of that room than went in. That is how…that’s how he told it to me. A different man walked out. The change…that…the transformation was stunning. He seemed taller. His eyes were…there was an energy to him. Powerful. He was smiling and joking, shaking hands, talking real fast…the suit – the one you see on television…every detail was perfect. Everybody was rushing to shake his hand, tell them they loved him…but my friend…he was shaken up. It was too damn weird, right? What the hell happened in that room? How could one man walk in and another man walk out? We’re talking two extremes here…Obama was just about carried into that room…and he comes out…he’s bouncing off the f-cking walls.
UM: Did your friend get close…up close to Obama at that time?
Insider: Oh yeah…got the handshake. Looked right up at him. And Obama…he looked right down…looked right down and through him.
UM: Through him?
Insider: Yeah boy…right the f-ck through him. He didn’t recognize…my friend…he had been introduced to Obama not more than a day before. He was helping organize the whole fu–ing event there in Denver. He spoke to the president…to the nominee…probably for about ten minutes. And there was nothing odd at that time…Obama seemed like what everybody saw in public. Not what my friend saw go into that room…or what he saw come out of that room. And Barack Obama – my friend was very…he made a point of emphasis there – Barack Obama did not recognize him in the hall. Not a clue. He smiled down at him, shook his hand…kept repeating thank you over and over again…and his eyes were always blinking. Fast.
UM: Blinking…his eyes were…blinking?
Insider: Yeah…like f-cking shutters. Blinking. Over and over again. My friend watched him as we he made his way to the side stage…his eyes were blinking over and over again.
UM: Drugs? Amphetamines?
Insider: I told you before what I know on that…the…his depression…or something along those lines…that was leaking out from the White House after he got in there…so maybe. Maybe somethin’ like that.
But that ain’t the meat of this thing…the…that’s not…I don’t give a f-ck if there were drugs or what involved before he gave that speech in Denver. What I care about…what-what…where this gets…where this leads us here is how people start gettin’ messed up who mighta seen whatever happened in that room before that speech…
…My friend…I heard later he had shared what he saw here and there. I’m guessing that sharing…my gut tells me somebody wanted him to shut the f-ck up about it.
UM: Explain why you have that feeling. Just…put it out there. You’ve gone too far not to finish it.
Insider: I don’t…you don’t…you still don’t have…you’re too bold sometimes and that scares the hell outta me.
UM: This friend you’re talking about – you said they are…they were – younger than you? Quite a bit younger?
Insider: Yeah…younger…young enough anyway.
UM: Enough?
(Long pause)
Insider: Young enough that when they are found dead at home with no sign of…of…of foul play…when the cause is put down as “natural causes”…
…when – I mean natural causes? Really? Just like that? Natural f-cking causes? A guy…he’s in relatively good health…not so bad anyways…he is found dead alone at home…been dead for weeks…natural causes? All neat and tidy like that huh?
Guy in his 50′s…natural causes. Just drifts off of natural causes? Well f-ck you no. Now that just don’t sit right with this here boy.
UM: And no investigation, right? Nothing.
Insider: That’s right – nothing. I get the news…stunned. Pissed. Suspicious. Worried. Sh-t, I had everything running through my mind the moment I got word. The timing…everything pointed to something not being right? Something serious was…it was all…things were not right.
UM: So no specific cause of death?
Insider: No investigation…coroner…the only word on that I heard back was no investigation. Nothing. Was it a heart attack? Some said it appeared that way…but nothing official on that. NOTHING. It just…they found him dead, he was gone…that was it. DONE. A guy in his 50s just up and dies and that’s it? No way.
UM: And then the other stuff you tied together…I haven’t heard that from you yet. Go ahead…tell that now. It should be a part of this.
Insider: You really think so? You really…none of this sh-t scares you?
UM: Yeah…it scares me. If your instinct on this is right…yeah, very much so.
Insider: You doubt what…what I’m sayin’ here? You don’t believe it?
UM: Not at all but you said yourself…this is…this is a feeling you have. Nothing specific. At least nothing you’ve told me yet.
Insider: Oh…oh…the kid wants specifics…that it? So easy to ask for…but then…but then what then?
UM: What?
Insider: You heard me – what then? What’s knowing gonna change in any of this?
UM: Maybe nothing…but keep telling what you know.
Insider: Don’t know it…feel it.
UM: Fine then…what you feel it to be. You said there was – that you put it together. The other pieces.
Insider: Yeah…I did. You want to know all that? How…how if you say too much in this…what I do…step too far out of line and that’s it. Ruin your marriage? How about some jail time? Maybe more? Maybe less? That’s how it is for us…we all…you don’t ever wanna do the things I’ve done.
UM: You’re drunk.
Insider: Yes I am. You’re not?
UM: No.
Insider: You drinkin? Bushmills? I brought it – I asked…you said…that was right?
UM: And then some – and thank you.
Insider: Not drunk?
UM: No.
Insider: Bullsh-t.
UM: Finish the story. Share the pieces.
Your friend dies. No investigation into cause. Then what? Who else? What other – who else is involved?
Insider: The other pieces?
UM: That’s right…the other pieces.
Insider: I won’t name names…not gonna put that on you..not gonna…I don’t want that responsibility.
UM: Fine…but you can still share the details. Don’t need to be specific – just specific enough.
Insider: How about the involvement of one of the most powerful members of the United States Senate? That enough to perk you up? That enough…f-cking specifics for you?
We got the death of a longtimer…an operative. Good solid party guy. Fifty somethin’ years old. Natural causes. No investigation. He sees something about the current United States president…says it…shares it with some others, including this Senator. They are tight. Go way back a ways. She’s got power. If she has…if she gets some kind of information… that makes her a threat. It makes him a threat. There’s a business partner…he…well wouldn’t you know it…he has a serious legal threat brought down on him around the same time! Imagine that? Bet he was told something too, right? No accident there. Warnings is what was going on there. Back the f-ck off – and it was comin’ right from the White House boys. Or worse yet…back to f-cking Chicago. The unions. That vote that pissed ‘em off so much. And then they killed him. And now they are taking on the Senator herself. Right on it. Theft? And the fu–ing thief is…I sh-t you not…she headed up an Obama group. That’s either ballsy or stupid…or both…or just fu–ing insane. The Senator…she knew something. That vote…how she bypassed Obama on the Bin Laden announcement. That wasn’t his call and she knew it. She knew it. Her words that night. “No one knows when. No one knows how. No one knows why.” She was warning them to back off…the White House. Back the f-ck off. The public face…all smiles and nods. That’s how it’s always done…but there’s what’s said off to the side, if you know what to hear…you catch it. It’s there. You just gotta wait for it. You just—
UM: Apologies, but you…can you slow down. You’re throwing out too much too fast here. Slow it down. Please. I apologize but this is…it will be way too difficult to follow.
Insider: For who?
UM: For me…for anyone who reads this.
Insider: I don’t give a f-ck about them…this ain’t…I am…this ain’t for them. You asked me to tell you this…you…this is for you. I…if they can’t follow it…let the dumb bastards try. Piss on ‘em.
UM: Fine – but I can’t follow it…so…start again. The Senator – start with her. Take a bit of time to explain that…
…and then go from there.

So they come out…the First Lady – soon to be…Michelle…she just walks on by. Not a word to anyone. She’s got a secret service guy who is alongside her. Out she goes and not a word. My friend notices somebody puts their hand on her – trying to say high or something…it’s harmless…but the Secret Service fella, he is right there to intervene. Pushes this other woman…she gets pushed back and the…Obama’s wife…she just keeps on walking. No smile – nothin’.
Another five minutes or so and out comes Obama and a few others – the big fella from earlier, the woman who went in after them, and now there appears to be a couple of Secret Service alongside them.
UM: Was that woman Jarrett?
Insider: Told you – don’t know. He…my friend – he didn’t say…
…so out of that room they come. Everybody is excited…including Barack Obama. It’s like…it’s like one man went into that room and another one came out. An entirely different man walked out of that room than went in. That is how…that’s how he told it to me. A different man walked out. The change…that…the transformation was stunning. He seemed taller. His eyes were…there was an energy to him. Powerful. He was smiling and joking, shaking hands, talking real fast…the suit – the one you see on television…every detail was perfect. Everybody was rushing to shake his hand, tell them they loved him…but my friend…he was shaken up. It was too damn weird, right? What the hell happened in that room? How could one man walk in and another man walk out? We’re talking two extremes here…Obama was just about carried into that room…and he comes out…he’s bouncing off the f-cking walls.
UM: Did your friend get close…up close to Obama at that time?
Insider: Oh yeah…got the handshake. Looked right up at him. And Obama…he looked right down…looked right down and through him.
UM: Through him?
Insider: Yeah boy…right the f-ck through him. He didn’t recognize…my friend…he had been introduced to Obama not more than a day before. He was helping organize the whole fu–ing event there in Denver. He spoke to the president…to the nominee…probably for about ten minutes. And there was nothing odd at that time…Obama seemed like what everybody saw in public. Not what my friend saw go into that room…or what he saw come out of that room. And Barack Obama – my friend was very…he made a point of emphasis there – Barack Obama did not recognize him in the hall. Not a clue. He smiled down at him, shook his hand…kept repeating thank you over and over again…and his eyes were always blinking. Fast.
UM: Blinking…his eyes were…blinking?
Insider: Yeah…like f-cking shutters. Blinking. Over and over again. My friend watched him as we he made his way to the side stage…his eyes were blinking over and over again.
UM: Drugs? Amphetamines?
Insider: I told you before what I know on that…the…his depression…or something along those lines…that was leaking out from the White House after he got in there…so maybe. Maybe somethin’ like that.
But that ain’t the meat of this thing…the…that’s not…I don’t give a f-ck if there were drugs or what involved before he gave that speech in Denver. What I care about…what-what…where this gets…where this leads us here is how people start gettin’ messed up who mighta seen whatever happened in that room before that speech…
…My friend…I heard later he had shared what he saw here and there. I’m guessing that sharing…my gut tells me somebody wanted him to shut the f-ck up about it.
UM: Explain why you have that feeling. Just…put it out there. You’ve gone too far not to finish it.
Insider: I don’t…you don’t…you still don’t have…you’re too bold sometimes and that scares the hell outta me.
UM: This friend you’re talking about – you said they are…they were – younger than you? Quite a bit younger?
Insider: Yeah…younger…young enough anyway.
UM: Enough?
(Long pause)
Insider: Young enough that when they are found dead at home with no sign of…of…of foul play…when the cause is put down as “natural causes”…
…when – I mean natural causes? Really? Just like that? Natural f-cking causes? A guy…he’s in relatively good health…not so bad anyways…he is found dead alone at home…been dead for weeks…natural causes? All neat and tidy like that huh?
Guy in his 50′s…natural causes. Just drifts off of natural causes? Well f-ck you no. Now that just don’t sit right with this here boy.
UM: And no investigation, right? Nothing.
Insider: That’s right – nothing. I get the news…stunned. Pissed. Suspicious. Worried. Sh-t, I had everything running through my mind the moment I got word. The timing…everything pointed to something not being right? Something serious was…it was all…things were not right.
UM: So no specific cause of death?
Insider: No investigation…coroner…the only word on that I heard back was no investigation. Nothing. Was it a heart attack? Some said it appeared that way…but nothing official on that. NOTHING. It just…they found him dead, he was gone…that was it. DONE. A guy in his 50s just up and dies and that’s it? No way.
UM: And then the other stuff you tied together…I haven’t heard that from you yet. Go ahead…tell that now. It should be a part of this.
Insider: You really think so? You really…none of this sh-t scares you?
UM: Yeah…it scares me. If your instinct on this is right…yeah, very much so.
Insider: You doubt what…what I’m sayin’ here? You don’t believe it?
UM: Not at all but you said yourself…this is…this is a feeling you have. Nothing specific. At least nothing you’ve told me yet.
Insider: Oh…oh…the kid wants specifics…that it? So easy to ask for…but then…but then what then?
UM: What?
Insider: You heard me – what then? What’s knowing gonna change in any of this?
UM: Maybe nothing…but keep telling what you know.
Insider: Don’t know it…feel it.
UM: Fine then…what you feel it to be. You said there was – that you put it together. The other pieces.
Insider: Yeah…I did. You want to know all that? How…how if you say too much in this…what I do…step too far out of line and that’s it. Ruin your marriage? How about some jail time? Maybe more? Maybe less? That’s how it is for us…we all…you don’t ever wanna do the things I’ve done.
UM: You’re drunk.
Insider: Yes I am. You’re not?
UM: No.
Insider: You drinkin? Bushmills? I brought it – I asked…you said…that was right?
UM: And then some – and thank you.
Insider: Not drunk?
UM: No.
Insider: Bullsh-t.
UM: Finish the story. Share the pieces.
Your friend dies. No investigation into cause. Then what? Who else? What other – who else is involved?
Insider: The other pieces?
UM: That’s right…the other pieces.
Insider: I won’t name names…not gonna put that on you..not gonna…I don’t want that responsibility.
UM: Fine…but you can still share the details. Don’t need to be specific – just specific enough.
Insider: How about the involvement of one of the most powerful members of the United States Senate? That enough to perk you up? That enough…f-cking specifics for you?
We got the death of a longtimer…an operative. Good solid party guy. Fifty somethin’ years old. Natural causes. No investigation. He sees something about the current United States president…says it…shares it with some others, including this Senator. They are tight. Go way back a ways. She’s got power. If she has…if she gets some kind of information… that makes her a threat. It makes him a threat. There’s a business partner…he…well wouldn’t you know it…he has a serious legal threat brought down on him around the same time! Imagine that? Bet he was told something too, right? No accident there. Warnings is what was going on there. Back the f-ck off – and it was comin’ right from the White House boys. Or worse yet…back to f-cking Chicago. The unions. That vote that pissed ‘em off so much. And then they killed him. And now they are taking on the Senator herself. Right on it. Theft? And the fu–ing thief is…I sh-t you not…she headed up an Obama group. That’s either ballsy or stupid…or both…or just fu–ing insane. The Senator…she knew something. That vote…how she bypassed Obama on the Bin Laden announcement. That wasn’t his call and she knew it. She knew it. Her words that night. “No one knows when. No one knows how. No one knows why.” She was warning them to back off…the White House. Back the f-ck off. The public face…all smiles and nods. That’s how it’s always done…but there’s what’s said off to the side, if you know what to hear…you catch it. It’s there. You just gotta wait for it. You just—
UM: Apologies, but you…can you slow down. You’re throwing out too much too fast here. Slow it down. Please. I apologize but this is…it will be way too difficult to follow.
Insider: For who?
UM: For me…for anyone who reads this.
Insider: I don’t give a f-ck about them…this ain’t…I am…this ain’t for them. You asked me to tell you this…you…this is for you. I…if they can’t follow it…let the dumb bastards try. Piss on ‘em.
UM: Fine – but I can’t follow it…so…start again. The Senator – start with her. Take a bit of time to explain that…
…and then go from there.
White House Insider Part 2
White House Insider part 3
WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: I Hung My Head…
by Ulsterman on January 20, 2012 with 56 Comments in News
Following their witnessing of odd and troubling behavior from Barack Obama just prior to him taking the stage at the 2008 Democratic Convention, a longtime political operative is found dead, and those closely associated with him are facing a myriad of legal and financial challenges. Coincidence – or something far more sinister?
Insider: How about the involvement of one of the most powerful members of the United States Senate? That enough to perk you up? That enough…f-cking specifics for you?
We got the death of a longtimer…an operative. Good solid party guy. Fifty somethin’ years old. Natural causes. No investigation. He sees something about the current United States president…says it…shares it with some others, including this Senator. They are tight. Go way back a ways. She’s got power. If she has…if she gets some kind of information… that makes her a threat. It makes him a threat. There’s a business partner…he…well wouldn’t you know it…he has a serious legal threat brought down on him around the same time! Imagine that? Bet he was told something too, right? No accident there. Warnings is what was going on there. Back the f-ck off – and it was comin’ right from the White House boys. Or worse yet…back to f-cking Chicago. The unions. That vote that pissed ‘em off so much. And then they killed him. And now they are taking on the Senator herself. Right on it. Theft? And the fu–ing thief is…I sh-t you not…she headed up an Obama group. That’s either ballsy or stupid…or both…or just fu–ing insane. The Senator…she knew something. That vote…how she bypassed Obama on the Bin Laden announcement. That wasn’t his call and she knew it. She knew it. Her words that night. “No one knows when. No one knows how. No one knows why.” She was warning them to back off…the White House. Back the f-ck off. The public face…all smiles and nods. That’s how it’s always done…but there’s what’s said off to the side, if you know what to hear…you catch it. It’s there. You just gotta wait for it. You just—
UM: Apologies, but you…can you slow down. You’re throwing out too much too fast here. Slow it down. Please. I apologize but this is…it will be way too difficult to follow.
Insider: For who?
UM: For me…for anyone who reads this.
Insider: I don’t give a f-ck about them…this ain’t…I am…this ain’t for them. You asked me to tell you this…you…this is for you. I…if they can’t follow it…let the dumb bastards try. Piss on ‘em.
UM: Fine – but I can’t follow it…so…start again. The Senator – start with her. Take a bit of time to explain that…
…and then go from there.
Insider: From where to there and back again…this…I just don’t see this being part of what we’re doing. What’s done is done. We need to focus on the election, Fast and Furious…getting Holder gone. That’s…I can see that in front of me. -Name deleted – dying…his death…it’s just my speculation…my wondering about…about things.
UM: The story – your story…it has value. Tell the tale. Put it together – how it all fits.
Insider: I ain’t put nothin’ together son…got more questions than answers just like you. Don’t patronize me…don’t EVER patronize ME.
UM: You know that’s not what I’m doing – just get to the story. Start with the Senator and go from there…
Insider: (Long sigh) …Yes…the Senator…the others…you add it up…I may not have the answer but I got the problem…it don’t add up right now does it?
…The Senator…she and -name deleted- go way back. Long time. So if he saw somethin’ in Denver…he woulda told her. I have no doubt about that. He woulda told her, and he woulda told some others. A few folks. He was sharp enough…he was sharp period…he wouldn’t have gone off blabbin’ what he saw…not something like that…that woulda been dangerous to do. But he would…he woulda talked to a few folks about it initially. Carefully.
And he’s connected with Clinton people too…I didn’t tell you that before. A few of them…he mighta told them too as a means to…to protect himself.
UM: He was West Coast – he had ties to the Clintons?
Insider: Oh yeah…close friend of -Name Deleted – Tight. They did some work together back in…way back in ’94 – no….’92. Friends in high places and all that. They were…he mighta told him about it. Very possible.
UM: Back to the Senator…
Insider: The Senator…and another operative. I’ll start with him…he’s connected to the Senator…the story popped up in 2009. Shortly after Obama takes office. I hadn’t heard the story from -Name Deleted- about the convention yet. That would come later…like I said…we go there and back and there again on all this sh-t.
…so this other operative – he’s a big player in the party too. Connected. Gets himself into all kinds of trouble…heading to prison by the way.
UM: Who?
Insider: No names – no fu–ing names. Told you that…not gonna have the responsibility…you keep your mouth shut now and let me…you let me talk…this is coming out now so fine…let me be done with it…let it be done…
…This fella, he’s off to jail, but the sentence…he’ll be out soon enough. But somebody slapped him up hard on this thing…he pissed somebody off bad. The union boys…somebody is jerking his ass back in line…hard. That’s how I thought of back in ’09 when I first heard. Now…now you remember…he’s connected to the Senator…he’s connected to…he’s worked with -Name Deleted- …he mighta been told…I’m certain he was told about what happened in Denver. That’s why he got in trouble…he knew about it…maybe more…so he get’s stepped on. That’s how it’s done. They may not take your life…they’ll just mess you up good.
UM: Can you at least say what they are going to prison for?
Insider: For doing what so many of them are doing…for doing what has and will always be done…it’s just like Blago – EXACTLY like it. That boy knows things…he knows it. So…don’t kill the poor bastard outright…just give him a seriously tough warnin’. Same thing with this other fella – got no doubt about that. I was just trying to figure out the motivation…why they was gettin’ busted up. When I heard the Denver story…then him dyin’ like that…then it came together. Then I got that sick feelin’…way down in your stomach when you just know…you just know somethin’ ain’t right here.
…So this guy…his world starts to come crashing down in 2009…that’s the first big clue to the Denver situation. He’s being told to shut the f-ck up.
…Now we move into 2010…let’s say -Name Deleted-, he’s been tellin’ a few folks about what he saw in Denver…back in ’08. Maybe by now…maybe that got him to looking into some other things…maybe he’s gettin’ a bit…gettin’ scared. Now this is my speculation here…I got nothin’ to point at to confirm none of this…
UM: Understood – but given your track record of success…I’m fine hearing your thoughts. If you have a suspicion – I want to hear it.
Insider: Ok then…so let’s say my friend…he’s looking around a bit. He saw that sh-t go down in Denver…he’s wondering what the hell is up with that. He’s looking in some other places. There’s a campaign in 2010…and a candidate who is very much an Obama approved candidate. Does my friend work her campaign? Logic says hell yes he would, right? He worked to get Obama in during 2008. He helped organize the guy’s convention in Denver, right? So why wouldn’t he help to elect the person the Obama people want in that position?
…Except he doesn’t. He works against her. He works hard against her. And that campaign…that position…if he has concerns about a President of the United States…that position would be a very powerful weapon. Very powerful. So by working that campaign…my friend is working against the Obama people. He’s taking them on. And the position being fought over…it ties into Obamacare, immigration, the union deal…it’s big. Important. And a guy who helped usher…to bring Obama on as president…he’s now working hard against the administration. Somethin’ goin’ on there.
And that union deal…the card check legislation…the same Senator we been talking about…they come out against it. You know how that shook up the Obama White House? How pissed they were over that? Those union fellas…Gerard…the one you wrote so much about…he was all over that convention. Him and the Soros people…they were crawling all over that place. That’s another story there…some of the Hillary people…they were…right up to the day that convention got started…they were talking of staging a walk out…and the union fellas…word is they put the fear of God into them…literally threatened them, their families…they were told to sit the f-ck down. And that might be playing a part in all this too…probably is…the unions…this administration…
UM: Focus on the Senator…your friend…that campaign…
Insider: Right-right…the Senator…they are smacking up…right up against the union vote. Killing it. Kinda outta the blue on that…an odd thing. So you have them doing that…you got that other operative…he’s facing jail time…all this happens at about the same time. All of this…they are closely linked to my friend.
UM: The one who later died?
Insider: Yes…that’s…that’s right.
…and then in 2010 you got my friend going directly against the Obama administration – working against their candidate of choice. And you need to remember…California…Obama lost the primary out there. That plays a part in this…the president needed to lock up this position. That 2010 election was much more important to him than folks realize…and my friend…I’ll repeat it again…he was working against the Obama White House in 2010.
UM: Did your friend’s candidate win? The campaign they were working on?
Insider: Noooo…the Obama candidate won…and my gut says that left my friend…it left them exposed. Losing that election…if he had won it…like I said…he would have had a very powerful weapon against Barack Obama. But he lost…and that loss…that’s when he really started talking about what happened in Denver in 2008 – at the convention…that’s when I heard about it, not just from him, but a few others. So that means he was talking more…I think he was worried…and then it certainly came to the attention of…others.
(Long Pause) …he would be dead within months of losing that election. Timing…timing is everything huh? Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not…
…and the Senator…they don’t get out of this unscathed either…their entire…my understanding is their entire campaign fund…gone. Taken. And THAT is going down around the same time my friend dies. Again…you wanna call that coincidence? How much coincidence can a fella take before they start to question what the f-ck is going on? That’s where I was at at that point…what the f-ck is going on?
UM: Explain your thoughts on the theft – how that ties in to all of this.
Insider: I’ll do more than that – I’m gonna take it farther than what I told you before…this thing…what my friend mighta uncovered…it goes beyond Denver. I think they may have warned him after Denver…but he came across more than that…that’s my gut talkin’ again. My instinct – and I’ve been at this a loooong time. I know this playbook…some might say I helped write it. I certainly have come up with some of the rules over the years…
…that theft…the individual involved…no way they should have been in that position. Who authorized that? They already had baggage, a poor reputation…and she’s the one in charge of the millions of dollars sitting in a United States Senator’s campaign fund? Bullsh-t! NO way. NO fu–ing way. She was placed there by somebody with the authority…with the muscle to make that happen. Not in a state this important. Not with…like I said…all the things on the line…the union legislation…the challenges coming against Obamacare…no way a woman like that is allowed in that position unless she was there to do something very specific.
UM: The theft?
Insider: That is part of it…but I think it goes deeper. You come across those donation allegations that sorta swirled around the Obama campaign back in ’08? All the fake names…how difficult it was to trace the source?
UM: Vaguely.
Insider: What if you had certain groups…unions, foreign donations…whatever…they needed to get money – talking a sh-tload of money to Obama back when he was runnin’. I say this as somebody who experienced how much cash was floating around that campaign – it was unbelievable. Money was never an issue. NEVER. It was everywhere…and how…no way they raised all that money on the up and up. You just knew people were getting around the donation limits – had to be. There was…there was so much damn money in that campaign. Staggering.
UM: How does that relate to…to the theft from the Senator’s campaign?
Insider: What if the individual responsible for that theft…what if they were acting as some kind of laundering organization? And what if she represents a small fraction of the entire fu–ing operation that all ties back to the administration? Tens…hundreds of millions? Billions? Who the f-ck knows? The entire election system…the funding…what if it’s all corrupted? All of it?
This is out there stuff…I know. Sh-t yeah…I know…but what if my friend…he figured it out? Maybe it was that…maybe I’m way the f-ck off the mark here. But…you know the Obama campaign…somethin’ like $300 million…maybe more…probably more…it’s not disclosing those donors? It hasn’t yet? They never will. A ton of donors…laundered in…hidden from view…and that kind of money…you can buy a senator…you can buy a judge…you can buy…
…You’re willing to kill for it.
UM: How’s that possible? $300 million? Undisclosed?
Insider: Yes it’s possible – it was DONE. This president – Obama…he did it. Is doing it…and he’ll do it again…his people…they will do it again. And maybe this time…maybe they’re up to a billion dollars…more? Nobody knows. Money from China? Pakistan? Iran? Libya? Nobody fu–ing knows. That’s what I’m trying to lay out here…and I know it’s a convoluted mish…mish-mashing mess…that’s how they get away with it all. Make it all so damn…messy. You can’t follow it all…it’s impossible.
UM: But you think your friend might have been…looking into this stuff?
Insider: I do. Or something related to it…they were onto something. Let me try and summary – summarize it all up here.
You got a guy who is found dead. Alone. 50-odd years old. Been missing for a coupla weeks before they are discovered. No signs of foul play. The coroner comes out and says natural causes – no investigation. None. Now this person…they are kinda high profile…they got links to presidents for f-cks sake…and NO INVESTIGATION into cause of death? That’s a huge alarm right there. HUGE.
So this person now dead…you look back the past few years. They got a story…an awful strange story about the President of the United States. Soon after that story happened, they have a business associate getting charged – now going to jail. Good chance this individual was told about that story…and maybe more. Or maybe…coincidence?
You got a U.S. Senator…powerful Senator…they come out against the administration shortly after the events in Denver. Not long after. Why? Just politics? Or something else? Then again…maybe just coincidence.
You have my friend in 2010 battling against the Obama approved candidate for a position that could provide the means to take on the administration – full on. Now this campaign is going down less than a year before my friend is to be found dead. Coincidence?
Follow that up with the Senator who then has their campaign fund robbed by a person who once headed up a group called Californians for Obama. Coincidence?
And let’s talk about that time when my friend died. How the Senator…the words they used to describe that death. “No one knows HOW. No one knows WHEN. No one knows WHY.” My gut tells me that Senator may not know the answer to the first two…but they know…yes they know the answer to the third. And that statement…those words were chosen very carefully. And then they follow it up with speaking out BEFORE the president on the only real achievement the administration can try and claim as a victory – the Bin Laden killing? This senator is the one to make the first public announcement – not the president? And they chose to do so at the memorial for my friend? Coincidence?
No…this senator was sending a message. They knew the real deal about Bin Laden…or some of it. They knew enough to challenge…if backed into a corner they would…they would challenge the story the White House was gonna come out with – the story that painted Barack Obama as a hero. The senator was telling the White House to back off…
…you can snuff us out…people like me. But to take on a sitting Senator…even a president has to proceed with caution on that…especially if that senator has the goods, and I am pretty certain this one does.
So there’s that story. You think it’s got some value? Fine…publish it. Whatever. I’m gonna go back to work on Holder…get him out. He knows all of this sh-t. All of it. Get him gone…and it’s gonna be a campaign issue now. They delayed it…the administration…Issa played along…now it’s a campaign issue. Murderers. All of them. Fu–ing murderers…
(Silence)
…God I’m tired.
…You like Cash?
UM: Cash?
Insider: Yeah…Johnny Cash.
UM: Sure.
Insider: There’s a song of his…it was given to me a couple months back…I keep playing it over and over again. The more tired I get…the more I hear that song…
…I’m going to hell you know…done terrible things in this life. Hurt a lot of people. Ignored things I shouldn’t have…
(long pause)
…done…done terrible things…heaven ain’t an option for the likes a me…
UM: So long as you breath…there’s always options. Redemption…God forgives…God forgives even the worst of sin…
Insider: (Laughs) …Oh man…I wish I could see the world through your eyes for just a day…idealistic son-of-a-b-tch…
…No disrespect son…but…you don’t know ME. You really don’t…you don’t know the things…you don’t know what I’m capable of…what…Jesus Lord…the things I’ve done…
UM: You’re not all bad – I’ve seen that.
Insider: I’m a long-long way off from good…
UM: What’s the song?
Insider: What?
UM: The song – the Cash song?
Insider: Ah…the song. I hear it playin’ in my head now…all the time. Been hearing it when I’m talking to you…it just plays over and over…
…Damn tired son. This thing…all of it…I hope that good you say I got…I hope that’s enough…but I don’t think so. Not for me. Heaven ain’t for this old boy…
…That song…Hung My Head. That’s the name of it.
(Long drawn out sigh)
I Hung My Head…
White House Insider part 3
2012-the Year The U.S. falls into Tyranny!
The past year has been a bad one for democracy, and the Republic that once was the United States seems to live in name only. Because of the extreme abuses of power the Federal government has exercised just in the past year, the people of the Nation have been broken, discouraged and must now only be controlled.
A recent report in the state-run Russia Today cites an instructional military book, Non-Lethal Weapons Reference Book (leaked by PublicIntelligence.net) to outline the coming “high-tech crackdown” that may soon befall citizens of the United States deemed unruly.
If you have ever seen a farmer persuade his livestock to bend to his will with less-than-lethal methods such as cattle prods, whips and electric fences, you know how incredibly persuasive they can be to the animals. The U.S. government also knows a thing or two about controlling groups; unfortunately, the target isn’t unruly livestock, but U.S. citizens.
The report references one device that has already made a military debut in Afghanistan and that will likely become commonplace for domestic crowd control as law enforcement agencies throughout the country become increasingly militarized. The Active Denial System, which is described as a “long range, directed energy, vehicle mounted system that projects an invisible electromagnetic millimeter-wave energy beam beyond small arms range,” can be used as a non-lethal way to create extreme discomfort and quell group dissent.
Other military implements that may soon see use within U.S. borders include Acoustic Hailing Devices that provide “scalable, directional warning tones” causing “auditory damage” and the Distributed Sound and Light Array which “uses a combined laser, non-coherent light, and acoustics to produce a synergistic engagement system.” Other systems can completely disable motor vehicles and emit acoustic waves that make it impossible for crowds to shout without discomfort and nausea.
While many Americans deny that the U.S. government will ever use such weapons on a widespread basis against dissenters, recent developments in the country appear to indicate otherwise. The crackdowns on OWS camps carried out by police in riot/military gear, armed with tear gas canisters and rubber bullets, indicate that when large masses of people cry out, no matter what the political agenda, they will be quieted by local, State and/or Federal officials.
Before the crackdowns on the OWS camps, the Federal government demonstrated its willingness to bypass the judiciary system anytime an individual poses a threat to its agenda. In September, the Administration of Barack Obama executed U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki in the mountains of Yemen with a drone strike. Though he often spoke on behalf of al-Qaida, it could be reasonably assumed that al-Awlaki’s citizenship status gave him the right to trial before execution. The Administration disagrees: Pentagon lawyer Jeh Johnson said of the execution that only the executive branch, not the courts, is equipped to make military battlefield targeting decisions about who qualifies as an enemy.
Johnson’s statement would be less alarming if the Administration — with the help of hawkish neoconservatives like Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) — had not recently passed a military spending bill with provisions that effectively designate American soil a battlefield and every American a possible enemy. The bill gives the President the ability to indefinitely detain terror suspects, but this comes at a time when the lines of what constitutes “terror” are becoming increasingly blurry. The Federal government is currently in active negotiations with members of the Taliban, and Obama has made it clear that anyone who rejects his agenda is considered a “right-wing domestic terrorist.”
How long will it take for Federal government to decide it necessary to carry out al-Awlaki style executions on those deemed “domestic terrorists” as they sit in their homes in the United States? With the increasing use of military drones in U.S. airspace, the idea is not so far-fetched. The same Federal agencies that carried out fatally-flawed operations like those in Waco, Texas, and Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in the 1990s now have aerial drones and a license to kill in the name of Homeland Security. Some people may think that the agencies have refined their methods since those days; others have been following news about Operation Fast and Furious, the most recent endeavor by the Department of Justice, and know better.
Those people who do not believe the Federal government is out to harm them by breaking their will, dehumanizing them and bending them to be the subservient masses that will keep it afloat should simply take a flight. If being prodded, poked and virtually stripped naked by poorly trained agents of the Transportation Security Administration is not bad enough, how about having very personal belongings fondled, food stolen and grandmothers groped by the TSA? All are tactics of dehumanization to create subservient masses, and all are things that happened to American travelers last year.
Aside from quashing unruly masses and making problems disappear, the Federal government wants to keep tabs on the information being put out by journalists and bloggers throughout the Nation with a new Homeland Security initiative. According to Russia Today, in a new report, the Department reserves the right to collect personal information from news anchors, journalists, reporters or anyone who may use “traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed.”
And while Homeland Security is busy putting together a plan to rid the country of any bad press, Congress has been working to sanitize the Internet. Pending legislation like SOPA and the Protect IP Act will effectively give American citizens about as much online freedom as citizens of China.
Some Americans may think that if they are not in the public eye, don’t regularly protest and are not members of al-Qaida, they are not subject to government intrusion. But a recent decision by Magistrate Judge David Noce in United States v. Robinson says that as long as you park your vehicle in public parking lots or use public roadways, law enforcement has the ability to install a GPS tracking device with no warrant to log where you travel if they believe you “may be involved in criminal activities.”
When the First Congress enacted the original Crimes Act in 1790, with only 17 recognized Federal crimes, it may have been reasonable to assume that as long as a person was a law-abiding citizen, he was not at risk of intrusion. Today, though, there are more than 4,500 Federal crimes — and many are so obscure that they are nearly indecipherable. In addition to the 4,500 Federal crimes, there are tens of thousands of Federal regulations. Many people commit criminal acts daily without even knowing they are doing so.
Last year was a very busy one for all of those interested in ending American life as it is and has been known. The United States that was a Republic has already collapsed and has very quietly become a totalitarian regime, complete with a dictator named Obama and a Congress that bends to his will and continually legislates in such a way that would make any totalitarian regime proud. Together they have done everything in their power to undermine the Constitution and name themselves as the all-powerful ruling class. And with the undoing of the ideas of the Founders and the ruination of but a few more checks and balances, they will effectively claim their supremacy.
So what have Americans lost and why does the ruling class have to do away with the Constitution and the rights it gives to every American citizen? It is explained by James Madison, who contended that there was no way American lawmakers could declare themselves a ruling class under the provisions of the Constitution, in the 57th volume of the Federalist Papers:
If it be asked, what is to restrain the House of Representatives from making legal discriminations in favor of themselves and a particular class of the society? I answer: the genius of the whole system; the nature of just and constitutional laws; and above all, the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America — a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it.
Those who are working so hard to claim themselves a ruling class know that their goal cannot be achieved if there is such a thing as a population that holds dear its “vigilant and manly spirit.” And they know how to slowly break that spirit without alarm by dehumanizing populations — luring people into accepting tyrannical rule in the guise of laws claimed to exist for public safety, homeland security or the better good of humanity. Unlike Madison, they always leave out words like freedom and never discuss the great threats government poses to the people, but contrarily advise vigilance to combat the people’s threat to the government.
Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has been warning the public of many of these frightening developments for more than 35 years. Now, as he vies for the Nation’s highest office, many of his predictions have come true. Maybe it is time Americans listened to the “kook,” because those things he said would happen — predictions Americans once considered to be crazy and far-fetched — are now reality. He may be the Nation’s last hope to a path back to some semblance of the Constitutional Republic created by the Founders.

White House Insider part 3
WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: I Hung My Head…
by Ulsterman on January 20, 2012 with 56 Comments in News
Following their witnessing of odd and troubling behavior from Barack Obama just prior to him taking the stage at the 2008 Democratic Convention, a longtime political operative is found dead, and those closely associated with him are facing a myriad of legal and financial challenges. Coincidence – or something far more sinister?
Insider: How about the involvement of one of the most powerful members of the United States Senate? That enough to perk you up? That enough…f-cking specifics for you?
We got the death of a longtimer…an operative. Good solid party guy. Fifty somethin’ years old. Natural causes. No investigation. He sees something about the current United States president…says it…shares it with some others, including this Senator. They are tight. Go way back a ways. She’s got power. If she has…if she gets some kind of information… that makes her a threat. It makes him a threat. There’s a business partner…he…well wouldn’t you know it…he has a serious legal threat brought down on him around the same time! Imagine that? Bet he was told something too, right? No accident there. Warnings is what was going on there. Back the f-ck off – and it was comin’ right from the White House boys. Or worse yet…back to f-cking Chicago. The unions. That vote that pissed ‘em off so much. And then they killed him. And now they are taking on the Senator herself. Right on it. Theft? And the fu–ing thief is…I sh-t you not…she headed up an Obama group. That’s either ballsy or stupid…or both…or just fu–ing insane. The Senator…she knew something. That vote…how she bypassed Obama on the Bin Laden announcement. That wasn’t his call and she knew it. She knew it. Her words that night. “No one knows when. No one knows how. No one knows why.” She was warning them to back off…the White House. Back the f-ck off. The public face…all smiles and nods. That’s how it’s always done…but there’s what’s said off to the side, if you know what to hear…you catch it. It’s there. You just gotta wait for it. You just—
UM: Apologies, but you…can you slow down. You’re throwing out too much too fast here. Slow it down. Please. I apologize but this is…it will be way too difficult to follow.
Insider: For who?
UM: For me…for anyone who reads this.
Insider: I don’t give a f-ck about them…this ain’t…I am…this ain’t for them. You asked me to tell you this…you…this is for you. I…if they can’t follow it…let the dumb bastards try. Piss on ‘em.
UM: Fine – but I can’t follow it…so…start again. The Senator – start with her. Take a bit of time to explain that…
…and then go from there.
Insider: From where to there and back again…this…I just don’t see this being part of what we’re doing. What’s done is done. We need to focus on the election, Fast and Furious…getting Holder gone. That’s…I can see that in front of me. -Name deleted – dying…his death…it’s just my speculation…my wondering about…about things.
UM: The story – your story…it has value. Tell the tale. Put it together – how it all fits.
Insider: I ain’t put nothin’ together son…got more questions than answers just like you. Don’t patronize me…don’t EVER patronize ME.
UM: You know that’s not what I’m doing – just get to the story. Start with the Senator and go from there…
Insider: (Long sigh) …Yes…the Senator…the others…you add it up…I may not have the answer but I got the problem…it don’t add up right now does it?
…The Senator…she and -name deleted- go way back. Long time. So if he saw somethin’ in Denver…he woulda told her. I have no doubt about that. He woulda told her, and he woulda told some others. A few folks. He was sharp enough…he was sharp period…he wouldn’t have gone off blabbin’ what he saw…not something like that…that woulda been dangerous to do. But he would…he woulda talked to a few folks about it initially. Carefully.
And he’s connected with Clinton people too…I didn’t tell you that before. A few of them…he mighta told them too as a means to…to protect himself.
UM: He was West Coast – he had ties to the Clintons?
Insider: Oh yeah…close friend of -Name Deleted – Tight. They did some work together back in…way back in ’94 – no….’92. Friends in high places and all that. They were…he mighta told him about it. Very possible.
UM: Back to the Senator…
Insider: The Senator…and another operative. I’ll start with him…he’s connected to the Senator…the story popped up in 2009. Shortly after Obama takes office. I hadn’t heard the story from -Name Deleted- about the convention yet. That would come later…like I said…we go there and back and there again on all this sh-t.
…so this other operative – he’s a big player in the party too. Connected. Gets himself into all kinds of trouble…heading to prison by the way.
UM: Who?
Insider: No names – no fu–ing names. Told you that…not gonna have the responsibility…you keep your mouth shut now and let me…you let me talk…this is coming out now so fine…let me be done with it…let it be done…
…This fella, he’s off to jail, but the sentence…he’ll be out soon enough. But somebody slapped him up hard on this thing…he pissed somebody off bad. The union boys…somebody is jerking his ass back in line…hard. That’s how I thought of back in ’09 when I first heard. Now…now you remember…he’s connected to the Senator…he’s connected to…he’s worked with -Name Deleted- …he mighta been told…I’m certain he was told about what happened in Denver. That’s why he got in trouble…he knew about it…maybe more…so he get’s stepped on. That’s how it’s done. They may not take your life…they’ll just mess you up good.
UM: Can you at least say what they are going to prison for?
Insider: For doing what so many of them are doing…for doing what has and will always be done…it’s just like Blago – EXACTLY like it. That boy knows things…he knows it. So…don’t kill the poor bastard outright…just give him a seriously tough warnin’. Same thing with this other fella – got no doubt about that. I was just trying to figure out the motivation…why they was gettin’ busted up. When I heard the Denver story…then him dyin’ like that…then it came together. Then I got that sick feelin’…way down in your stomach when you just know…you just know somethin’ ain’t right here.
…So this guy…his world starts to come crashing down in 2009…that’s the first big clue to the Denver situation. He’s being told to shut the f-ck up.
…Now we move into 2010…let’s say -Name Deleted-, he’s been tellin’ a few folks about what he saw in Denver…back in ’08. Maybe by now…maybe that got him to looking into some other things…maybe he’s gettin’ a bit…gettin’ scared. Now this is my speculation here…I got nothin’ to point at to confirm none of this…
UM: Understood – but given your track record of success…I’m fine hearing your thoughts. If you have a suspicion – I want to hear it.
Insider: Ok then…so let’s say my friend…he’s looking around a bit. He saw that sh-t go down in Denver…he’s wondering what the hell is up with that. He’s looking in some other places. There’s a campaign in 2010…and a candidate who is very much an Obama approved candidate. Does my friend work her campaign? Logic says hell yes he would, right? He worked to get Obama in during 2008. He helped organize the guy’s convention in Denver, right? So why wouldn’t he help to elect the person the Obama people want in that position?
…Except he doesn’t. He works against her. He works hard against her. And that campaign…that position…if he has concerns about a President of the United States…that position would be a very powerful weapon. Very powerful. So by working that campaign…my friend is working against the Obama people. He’s taking them on. And the position being fought over…it ties into Obamacare, immigration, the union deal…it’s big. Important. And a guy who helped usher…to bring Obama on as president…he’s now working hard against the administration. Somethin’ goin’ on there.
And that union deal…the card check legislation…the same Senator we been talking about…they come out against it. You know how that shook up the Obama White House? How pissed they were over that? Those union fellas…Gerard…the one you wrote so much about…he was all over that convention. Him and the Soros people…they were crawling all over that place. That’s another story there…some of the Hillary people…they were…right up to the day that convention got started…they were talking of staging a walk out…and the union fellas…word is they put the fear of God into them…literally threatened them, their families…they were told to sit the f-ck down. And that might be playing a part in all this too…probably is…the unions…this administration…
UM: Focus on the Senator…your friend…that campaign…
Insider: Right-right…the Senator…they are smacking up…right up against the union vote. Killing it. Kinda outta the blue on that…an odd thing. So you have them doing that…you got that other operative…he’s facing jail time…all this happens at about the same time. All of this…they are closely linked to my friend.
UM: The one who later died?
Insider: Yes…that’s…that’s right.
…and then in 2010 you got my friend going directly against the Obama administration – working against their candidate of choice. And you need to remember…California…Obama lost the primary out there. That plays a part in this…the president needed to lock up this position. That 2010 election was much more important to him than folks realize…and my friend…I’ll repeat it again…he was working against the Obama White House in 2010.
UM: Did your friend’s candidate win? The campaign they were working on?
Insider: Noooo…the Obama candidate won…and my gut says that left my friend…it left them exposed. Losing that election…if he had won it…like I said…he would have had a very powerful weapon against Barack Obama. But he lost…and that loss…that’s when he really started talking about what happened in Denver in 2008 – at the convention…that’s when I heard about it, not just from him, but a few others. So that means he was talking more…I think he was worried…and then it certainly came to the attention of…others.
(Long Pause) …he would be dead within months of losing that election. Timing…timing is everything huh? Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not…
…and the Senator…they don’t get out of this unscathed either…their entire…my understanding is their entire campaign fund…gone. Taken. And THAT is going down around the same time my friend dies. Again…you wanna call that coincidence? How much coincidence can a fella take before they start to question what the f-ck is going on? That’s where I was at at that point…what the f-ck is going on?
UM: Explain your thoughts on the theft – how that ties in to all of this.
Insider: I’ll do more than that – I’m gonna take it farther than what I told you before…this thing…what my friend mighta uncovered…it goes beyond Denver. I think they may have warned him after Denver…but he came across more than that…that’s my gut talkin’ again. My instinct – and I’ve been at this a loooong time. I know this playbook…some might say I helped write it. I certainly have come up with some of the rules over the years…
…that theft…the individual involved…no way they should have been in that position. Who authorized that? They already had baggage, a poor reputation…and she’s the one in charge of the millions of dollars sitting in a United States Senator’s campaign fund? Bullsh-t! NO way. NO fu–ing way. She was placed there by somebody with the authority…with the muscle to make that happen. Not in a state this important. Not with…like I said…all the things on the line…the union legislation…the challenges coming against Obamacare…no way a woman like that is allowed in that position unless she was there to do something very specific.
UM: The theft?
Insider: That is part of it…but I think it goes deeper. You come across those donation allegations that sorta swirled around the Obama campaign back in ’08? All the fake names…how difficult it was to trace the source?
UM: Vaguely.
Insider: What if you had certain groups…unions, foreign donations…whatever…they needed to get money – talking a sh-tload of money to Obama back when he was runnin’. I say this as somebody who experienced how much cash was floating around that campaign – it was unbelievable. Money was never an issue. NEVER. It was everywhere…and how…no way they raised all that money on the up and up. You just knew people were getting around the donation limits – had to be. There was…there was so much damn money in that campaign. Staggering.
UM: How does that relate to…to the theft from the Senator’s campaign?
Insider: What if the individual responsible for that theft…what if they were acting as some kind of laundering organization? And what if she represents a small fraction of the entire fu–ing operation that all ties back to the administration? Tens…hundreds of millions? Billions? Who the f-ck knows? The entire election system…the funding…what if it’s all corrupted? All of it?
This is out there stuff…I know. Sh-t yeah…I know…but what if my friend…he figured it out? Maybe it was that…maybe I’m way the f-ck off the mark here. But…you know the Obama campaign…somethin’ like $300 million…maybe more…probably more…it’s not disclosing those donors? It hasn’t yet? They never will. A ton of donors…laundered in…hidden from view…and that kind of money…you can buy a senator…you can buy a judge…you can buy…
…You’re willing to kill for it.
UM: How’s that possible? $300 million? Undisclosed?
Insider: Yes it’s possible – it was DONE. This president – Obama…he did it. Is doing it…and he’ll do it again…his people…they will do it again. And maybe this time…maybe they’re up to a billion dollars…more? Nobody knows. Money from China? Pakistan? Iran? Libya? Nobody fu–ing knows. That’s what I’m trying to lay out here…and I know it’s a convoluted mish…mish-mashing mess…that’s how they get away with it all. Make it all so damn…messy. You can’t follow it all…it’s impossible.
UM: But you think your friend might have been…looking into this stuff?
Insider: I do. Or something related to it…they were onto something. Let me try and summary – summarize it all up here.
You got a guy who is found dead. Alone. 50-odd years old. Been missing for a coupla weeks before they are discovered. No signs of foul play. The coroner comes out and says natural causes – no investigation. None. Now this person…they are kinda high profile…they got links to presidents for f-cks sake…and NO INVESTIGATION into cause of death? That’s a huge alarm right there. HUGE.
So this person now dead…you look back the past few years. They got a story…an awful strange story about the President of the United States. Soon after that story happened, they have a business associate getting charged – now going to jail. Good chance this individual was told about that story…and maybe more. Or maybe…coincidence?
You got a U.S. Senator…powerful Senator…they come out against the administration shortly after the events in Denver. Not long after. Why? Just politics? Or something else? Then again…maybe just coincidence.
You have my friend in 2010 battling against the Obama approved candidate for a position that could provide the means to take on the administration – full on. Now this campaign is going down less than a year before my friend is to be found dead. Coincidence?
Follow that up with the Senator who then has their campaign fund robbed by a person who once headed up a group called Californians for Obama. Coincidence?
And let’s talk about that time when my friend died. How the Senator…the words they used to describe that death. “No one knows HOW. No one knows WHEN. No one knows WHY.” My gut tells me that Senator may not know the answer to the first two…but they know…yes they know the answer to the third. And that statement…those words were chosen very carefully. And then they follow it up with speaking out BEFORE the president on the only real achievement the administration can try and claim as a victory – the Bin Laden killing? This senator is the one to make the first public announcement – not the president? And they chose to do so at the memorial for my friend? Coincidence?
No…this senator was sending a message. They knew the real deal about Bin Laden…or some of it. They knew enough to challenge…if backed into a corner they would…they would challenge the story the White House was gonna come out with – the story that painted Barack Obama as a hero. The senator was telling the White House to back off…
…you can snuff us out…people like me. But to take on a sitting Senator…even a president has to proceed with caution on that…especially if that senator has the goods, and I am pretty certain this one does.
So there’s that story. You think it’s got some value? Fine…publish it. Whatever. I’m gonna go back to work on Holder…get him out. He knows all of this sh-t. All of it. Get him gone…and it’s gonna be a campaign issue now. They delayed it…the administration…Issa played along…now it’s a campaign issue. Murderers. All of them. Fu–ing murderers…
(Silence)
…God I’m tired.
…You like Cash?
UM: Cash?
Insider: Yeah…Johnny Cash.
UM: Sure.
Insider: There’s a song of his…it was given to me a couple months back…I keep playing it over and over again. The more tired I get…the more I hear that song…
…I’m going to hell you know…done terrible things in this life. Hurt a lot of people. Ignored things I shouldn’t have…
(long pause)
…done…done terrible things…heaven ain’t an option for the likes a me…
UM: So long as you breath…there’s always options. Redemption…God forgives…God forgives even the worst of sin…
Insider: (Laughs) …Oh man…I wish I could see the world through your eyes for just a day…idealistic son-of-a-b-tch…
…No disrespect son…but…you don’t know ME. You really don’t…you don’t know the things…you don’t know what I’m capable of…what…Jesus Lord…the things I’ve done…
UM: You’re not all bad – I’ve seen that.
Insider: I’m a long-long way off from good…
UM: What’s the song?
Insider: What?
UM: The song – the Cash song?
Insider: Ah…the song. I hear it playin’ in my head now…all the time. Been hearing it when I’m talking to you…it just plays over and over…
…Damn tired son. This thing…all of it…I hope that good you say I got…I hope that’s enough…but I don’t think so. Not for me. Heaven ain’t for this old boy…
…That song…Hung My Head. That’s the name of it.
(Long drawn out sigh)
I Hung My Head…
White House Insider part 3
2012-the Year The U.S. falls into Tyranny!
The past year has been a bad one for democracy, and the Republic that once was the United States seems to live in name only. Because of the extreme abuses of power the Federal government has exercised just in the past year, the people of the Nation have been broken, discouraged and must now only be controlled.
A recent report in the state-run Russia Today cites an instructional military book, Non-Lethal Weapons Reference Book (leaked by PublicIntelligence.net) to outline the coming “high-tech crackdown” that may soon befall citizens of the United States deemed unruly.
If you have ever seen a farmer persuade his livestock to bend to his will with less-than-lethal methods such as cattle prods, whips and electric fences, you know how incredibly persuasive they can be to the animals. The U.S. government also knows a thing or two about controlling groups; unfortunately, the target isn’t unruly livestock, but U.S. citizens.
The report references one device that has already made a military debut in Afghanistan and that will likely become commonplace for domestic crowd control as law enforcement agencies throughout the country become increasingly militarized. The Active Denial System, which is described as a “long range, directed energy, vehicle mounted system that projects an invisible electromagnetic millimeter-wave energy beam beyond small arms range,” can be used as a non-lethal way to create extreme discomfort and quell group dissent.
Other military implements that may soon see use within U.S. borders include Acoustic Hailing Devices that provide “scalable, directional warning tones” causing “auditory damage” and the Distributed Sound and Light Array which “uses a combined laser, non-coherent light, and acoustics to produce a synergistic engagement system.” Other systems can completely disable motor vehicles and emit acoustic waves that make it impossible for crowds to shout without discomfort and nausea.
While many Americans deny that the U.S. government will ever use such weapons on a widespread basis against dissenters, recent developments in the country appear to indicate otherwise. The crackdowns on OWS camps carried out by police in riot/military gear, armed with tear gas canisters and rubber bullets, indicate that when large masses of people cry out, no matter what the political agenda, they will be quieted by local, State and/or Federal officials.
Before the crackdowns on the OWS camps, the Federal government demonstrated its willingness to bypass the judiciary system anytime an individual poses a threat to its agenda. In September, the Administration of Barack Obama executed U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki in the mountains of Yemen with a drone strike. Though he often spoke on behalf of al-Qaida, it could be reasonably assumed that al-Awlaki’s citizenship status gave him the right to trial before execution. The Administration disagrees: Pentagon lawyer Jeh Johnson said of the execution that only the executive branch, not the courts, is equipped to make military battlefield targeting decisions about who qualifies as an enemy.
Johnson’s statement would be less alarming if the Administration — with the help of hawkish neoconservatives like Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) — had not recently passed a military spending bill with provisions that effectively designate American soil a battlefield and every American a possible enemy. The bill gives the President the ability to indefinitely detain terror suspects, but this comes at a time when the lines of what constitutes “terror” are becoming increasingly blurry. The Federal government is currently in active negotiations with members of the Taliban, and Obama has made it clear that anyone who rejects his agenda is considered a “right-wing domestic terrorist.”
How long will it take for Federal government to decide it necessary to carry out al-Awlaki style executions on those deemed “domestic terrorists” as they sit in their homes in the United States? With the increasing use of military drones in U.S. airspace, the idea is not so far-fetched. The same Federal agencies that carried out fatally-flawed operations like those in Waco, Texas, and Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in the 1990s now have aerial drones and a license to kill in the name of Homeland Security. Some people may think that the agencies have refined their methods since those days; others have been following news about Operation Fast and Furious, the most recent endeavor by the Department of Justice, and know better.
Those people who do not believe the Federal government is out to harm them by breaking their will, dehumanizing them and bending them to be the subservient masses that will keep it afloat should simply take a flight. If being prodded, poked and virtually stripped naked by poorly trained agents of the Transportation Security Administration is not bad enough, how about having very personal belongings fondled, food stolen and grandmothers groped by the TSA? All are tactics of dehumanization to create subservient masses, and all are things that happened to American travelers last year.
Aside from quashing unruly masses and making problems disappear, the Federal government wants to keep tabs on the information being put out by journalists and bloggers throughout the Nation with a new Homeland Security initiative. According to Russia Today, in a new report, the Department reserves the right to collect personal information from news anchors, journalists, reporters or anyone who may use “traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed.”
And while Homeland Security is busy putting together a plan to rid the country of any bad press, Congress has been working to sanitize the Internet. Pending legislation like SOPA and the Protect IP Act will effectively give American citizens about as much online freedom as citizens of China.
Some Americans may think that if they are not in the public eye, don’t regularly protest and are not members of al-Qaida, they are not subject to government intrusion. But a recent decision by Magistrate Judge David Noce in United States v. Robinson says that as long as you park your vehicle in public parking lots or use public roadways, law enforcement has the ability to install a GPS tracking device with no warrant to log where you travel if they believe you “may be involved in criminal activities.”
When the First Congress enacted the original Crimes Act in 1790, with only 17 recognized Federal crimes, it may have been reasonable to assume that as long as a person was a law-abiding citizen, he was not at risk of intrusion. Today, though, there are more than 4,500 Federal crimes — and many are so obscure that they are nearly indecipherable. In addition to the 4,500 Federal crimes, there are tens of thousands of Federal regulations. Many people commit criminal acts daily without even knowing they are doing so.
Last year was a very busy one for all of those interested in ending American life as it is and has been known. The United States that was a Republic has already collapsed and has very quietly become a totalitarian regime, complete with a dictator named Obama and a Congress that bends to his will and continually legislates in such a way that would make any totalitarian regime proud. Together they have done everything in their power to undermine the Constitution and name themselves as the all-powerful ruling class. And with the undoing of the ideas of the Founders and the ruination of but a few more checks and balances, they will effectively claim their supremacy.
So what have Americans lost and why does the ruling class have to do away with the Constitution and the rights it gives to every American citizen? It is explained by James Madison, who contended that there was no way American lawmakers could declare themselves a ruling class under the provisions of the Constitution, in the 57th volume of the Federalist Papers:
If it be asked, what is to restrain the House of Representatives from making legal discriminations in favor of themselves and a particular class of the society? I answer: the genius of the whole system; the nature of just and constitutional laws; and above all, the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America — a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it.
Those who are working so hard to claim themselves a ruling class know that their goal cannot be achieved if there is such a thing as a population that holds dear its “vigilant and manly spirit.” And they know how to slowly break that spirit without alarm by dehumanizing populations — luring people into accepting tyrannical rule in the guise of laws claimed to exist for public safety, homeland security or the better good of humanity. Unlike Madison, they always leave out words like freedom and never discuss the great threats government poses to the people, but contrarily advise vigilance to combat the people’s threat to the government.
Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has been warning the public of many of these frightening developments for more than 35 years. Now, as he vies for the Nation’s highest office, many of his predictions have come true. Maybe it is time Americans listened to the “kook,” because those things he said would happen — predictions Americans once considered to be crazy and far-fetched — are now reality. He may be the Nation’s last hope to a path back to some semblance of the Constitutional Republic created by the Founders.
