Was Libby In Charge Of Running The Shadow Govt.? Is There A Shadow Govt?

[KittyWampus]

several DU'ers have posted info saying as much... can anyone think of an instance where the Corporate Media has ever mentioned such a thing?

They never did during the whole Iran-Contra affair, though that's pretty much what was going on.

Now, they won't even mention the Office of Special Plans.

Does anyone think the Media will EVER mention the words "Shadow Government"?

1. Woodward said Powell called it a separate government;Gestapo

In Woodward's latest book...

Powell felt Cheney and his allies -- his chief aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby; Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz; and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas J. Feith and what Powell called Feith's "Gestapo" office -- had established what amounted to a separate government.

2. They did right after 9-11

Nothing since - but WE know it is there! AND a LOT more SHADOWY than has been told!

3. After donning flameproof suit

The government we see is only an illusion. It is much more powerful interests that call the shots.

Research it and find out. We might think governments rule...they do not...anyone who wants to find that out is free to try. There have always been men behind the curtain.

7. You just reminded me of the "Plunge Protection Team" for Wall St.

"security". Maybe that's where some of the billions getting looted goes... just to prop up the Pyramid Scheme known as the Stock Market.

[McKenzie]

13. You have it sussed cryingshame

You don't need me to spell it out. Let's just say..."liquidity of capital flow". If liquidity dries up...the system grinds to a halt.

4. There have been rumors for years

That 90 or so men and their families run the entire world. There are no news reports or reporters who would risk saying something they can't prove and possibly lose more than just their jobs. Who knows for sure about this? No one who really knows that it's true has ever proved it.

6. Have you ever heard of Danny Casolaro?

He "committed suicide" just as he was about to publish a book on this theory. He named the secret cabal "The Octopus"

[KittyWampus]

8. somewhat in the same vein as the Cosa Nostra. Mobsters always operate

underneath public scrutiny. It isn't that far fetched.

11. I'd never heard of him

Amazing how many people with interesting information to share "kill themselves". Thanks for the info.

5. I think it is Cheney.

10. What's the name of the

highly secret group that meets a couple times a year by secret invitation? I read about it during the Jeff G. episode, but can't find the article again.

[KittyWampus]

12. Bilderbergers?

[McKenzie]

15. Bullseye

anyone who thinks the capitalist system works through the unseen hand of the "market" (rotflmao) is in for a shock. That hand might be unseen but it is not "free".

[KittyWampus]

17. could have been referring also to Bohemian Grove. Rich White Men

who gather behind closed doors seeking ways to perpertuate the status quo.

[McKenzie]

20. yes, but people won't believe it

anyone who takes the time can find out what is REALLY going on.

[Frustratedlady]

18. No, that isn't it....

Thanks for your reply, though. The one I'm thinking of is U.S. and all I can recall is that nothing can be taped or recorded, the place is highly secret, as is the membership.

I think I'll find a cave and hibernate until this world returns to some sense of sane.

19. Bohemian Grove?

[MGKrebs]

21. Trilateral Commission?

Illuminati?

[Frustratedlady]

22. Yes, I believe that is it.

The hints on the Bohemian Grove led me to it. Thanks to everyone.

16. He Could Run The Country From His "Undisclosed Location"

9. Hard to accept

that Libby would ever do something without Cheney's knowledge. Anyone who has ever been the assistant to an important person would find that beyond belief

14. Seek and ye shall find...

there are reams of info out there for the taking. Just now reading a book copyright 1973..'Secret Team', by L.Fletcher Prouty. I guess it depends on what you mean by 'media'
