Wayne Madsen Report: Obama helps cousin in Kenya with campaign cash and pressure on opponent

African intelligence sources have reported to WMR that President Barack Obama has personally intervened in the Kenyan presidential election to ensure a victory for trailing candidate of the George Soros-backed Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Raila Odinga, against his International Criminal Court (ICC)-indicted opponent, Uhuru Kenyatta. Odinga is the son of Obama's father's friend and fellow Luo tribesman Oginga Odinga, a bitter political rival of Uhuru's father, Kenya's founding president, Jomo Kenyatta...

Herein lies a major problem for Obama. If it can be proven that the President of the United States ordered campaign cash sent from the United States to the campaign of a relative, albeit a distant cousin, the president may be in violation of several U.S. laws, including the Foreign Corrrupt Practices Act and laws against international money laundering.

American JudasSynopsizing Sibel Edmonds - The Evolution of Operation Gladio Part OnePart Two

With the contents of the above series in mind, consider the case of Anwar Al Awlaki...

GuardianThe NYT and Obama officials collaborate to prosecute Awlaki after he's executed

Glenn Greenwald's piece is something of a "limited hang-out" since, while noting that White House sources seek to justify Awlaki's death penalty by way of his unproven association with the "underwear bomber" Abdulmutallab, he fails to mention the very questionable circumstances surrounding that case (i.e. the official who insured that Abdulmutallab boarded the flight) and that of Awlaki himself (in spite of his connections to several of the 9/11 hijackers, he in 2002 had been allowed entry into the U.S. after being briefly detained by the FBI for an arrest warrant, and he enjoyed the privilege of having dinner at the Pentagon as a "moderate muslim"). All of these circumstances would put Awlaki into the orbit of what Edmonds charts out as Gladio Plan B, and would suggest the true motive for his assassination as based on the necessity of eliminating a witness who might have potentially demolished the entire house of cards in the 9/11 cover-up, were he to get his due process.

Ilsa: She-Wolf of the CIA

"For reasons of national security," we can't know her name - so let's call her Ilsa the She-Wolf - she works at the CIA and is looking to get a promotion as chief of clandestine services at the agency. She was in the chain of command of the indefinite detention and "enhanced interrogation" programs in the immediate aftermath of 9/11; and in 2005, as chief of staff to then head of clandestine services Jose Rodriguez, she signed off on the destruction of 92 interrogation videotapes recorded in Thailand - a purging of files akin to the purging that took place in 1973 of  MKULTRA files by the head of the program Sidney Gottlieb under orders of then DCI Richard Helms, files which possibly included audio tapes and films recorded by George Hunter White at CIA safe houses at 81 Bedford St. in Greenwich Village, NYC and 225 Chestnut St. in Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, as part of Operation Midnight Climax. (However, Gottlieb's administrative assistant who burned the files makes no mention of destroying tapes or films in her recollection as reported in A Terrible Mistake, by Hank Albarelli, Pg. 452. The audio and films of these "experiments" may still be out there somewhere).

Oddly enough, the actions taken against the detainees in the Thailand videos very likely demonstrated techniques or the use of substances and devices that were developed in the MKULTRA program and programs that followed it. Since MKULTRA continued certain types of experiments conducted by nazi scientists that were imported to the CIA through Project Paperclip, there is a contiguous line of "inquiry" that extends from the fictionalized Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS to our real but pseudonymous Isla: She-Wolf of the CIA.

"Ilsa" is presently the acting chief of the division pending the decision of newly installed DCI John Brennan who has decided to form a committee to make the decision to promote "Ilsa" for him.
