At Largely on the Arrigo/'CIA insider' mish-mash: "Take this story with oceans of salt..."

Take this story with oceans of salt...
Larisa Alexandrovna

Yesterday, Kathy posted a very interesting story link to CounterPunch's article regarding an alleged CIA whistle-blower, who made some astonishing allegations, not the least of which include that Halliburton personnel have been given access to high level CIA operations and are rigging no-bid contracts via backdoor programming. In fact, of all he allegations made by the alleged whistle-blower, the only one I find remotely probable are her allegations that the DOD created fraudulent contracts and purchased non-existing machinery from Bechtel.

After having read this piece, I started researching this woman and I must say that her credibility is less than zero for me. I suggest you research Arrigo for yourselves and see if you think she was in the Soviet Union as a "child-spy" at age 10. Yes, there is no question that MKULTRA was a real program, but there is also a whole lot of myth and even propaganda surrounding it too. Now, I don't know her motivation, but if I were holding alleged proof of massive corruption and fraud, I might simply keep that other stuff to myself. So either she is insane (which I tend to favor) or she is lying. There is of course a third possibility that she is a limited hangout in the event that someone should come across actual fixed contracts and such (which would be a given in this administration). I simply don't know. But I do not believe for a moment this woman is telling the truth or at least the real truth/full truth/whole truth.

1. Dear, Dear Lala:

Thank you very much for this. It makes me very glad that I did not go with this story on World News Trust. In my mind, it was just too good to be true.

Say what you will about The Pirates of The Pentagon, but sloppy is one thing they ain't and if this were true, they would have to be very sloppy.

2. I agree T_S....

While I would love to believe it, bells were ringing in my head as I read that article (of course, there is always some sort of noise in my head but this was different).

The "quotes" from Tenet were especially suspect.

3. Yeah, those putative quotes...

Do not sound like the words of a player in DC. Plausable Deniability is the religion there and a player like Tenet would have used cutouts for his cutouts, several layers deep.

There is a small but tenacious cottage industru of people who work the MKULTRA side of the street. None of them, and I mean NONE, have much credibility. The only compelling possible example of that program bearing some dark fruit is Sirhan Sirhan, and that one ain't even close to being settled.

4. I was stressing caution on another short thread last evening. But, I want

to hold out a little. I think more needs to be known about the father. It's not beyond the line to believe that those who were into drug and psychological deceptions through testing could still tell the truth. For someone who is reported by her sister to be schizophrenic, she writes with consistency. They could have kept her in a position to keep their eye on her. If a Hollywood script was being written.

These people are not above writing the most bizarre scripts ever - stealing trillions right out from under the glasses of oversight commitee members - making building falls in a most professional way. Pretending that the country is sound - at least through January 19 of 09 - probably printing money like the Nazis. Turning over museums devoted to the Cradle of Civilization to scavengers and thieves, probably not innocently.

Robots don't do all the work. Maybe mental robots do.

I read some last night - I'm at 50-50 - full red alert, but still open.

5. What I want to know is, was Box Car Willie part of the New World Order?

Link to Cathy O'Brien's 'insider' expose: Trance-Formation of America.

http://www.trance-formation.com/

If you look around, the whole book is on the 'net.

It's great. Group sex featuring Henry Kissinger, Hillary Clinton, the afore mentioned Mr. Willie, Dick (& I do mean dick) Cheney, etc.

Think Gerald Ford was a 'nice guy'? Nope. The full story is here.

The best I can do right now is consider Ms. Arrigo another dis-info loon.

Good dis-info is always that mish-mash of truth, falsity, absurdity & a soupcon of a certain Je ne sais quoi.

:hi:

6. That je ne sais quoi yer' smelling...

Ain't what The Rock is cooking at this time. It's pure, unadulterated, 100% Bullshit. I remember when that "Trance-Formation" book first came out. There was a discussion of the past of the "gentleman" who wrote the book with her and shepearded the project. He is not exactly a paragon of virtue.
