Boston.com: Three killed, including 8-year-old boy, in explosions at Boston Marathon finish line; President Obama vows to bring perpetrators to justice
The blast came on Patriots Day, Obama noted, which is a state holiday in Massachusetts that celebrates the beginning of the American Revolution.
4/15 is also Tax Day in the U.S. at large. Initial reports numbered as many as four bombs, two detonated about 15 seconds apart; the others apparently were disabled, including one underneath the VIP stand, according to initial reports. Soon after, there was an explosion or fire at the JFK Presidential Library...
The Atlantic Wire: What Happened at Boston's JFK Library?
The day before, Senators Joe Manchin and Pat Toomey appeared on Face The Nation to promote their proposed amendment to gun control legislation that would expand background checks and would bar the "mentally adjudicated" from owning weapons, a "compromise" much reviled amongst Bill of Rights advocates as essentially enabling psychiatric tyranny...

Within minutes CNN announces "Officials believe bomb suspect ID'd" followed by claim that an arrest has been made - note the singular case - only to be retracted minutes later in the midst of a code red bomb threat at the Moakley Federal Courthouse. FBI and media put hold on images of their suspects (now plural) for a day, then release video on April 18. Gun battles ensue, leaving dead police, one dead Chechen and another, his brother, seriously wounded and at large until arrested unarmed after martial law lock-down of Boston on April 19...

Wayne Madsen Report: Tamerlan Tsarnaev's links to CIA operations in Caucasus
Russia's Izvestia is reporting that Tsarnaev attended seminars run by the Caucasus Fund of Georgia, a group affiliated with the neo-conservative think tank, the Jamestown Foundation, between January and July 2012. The U.S. media has been reporting that during this six month time frame Tsarnaev was being radicalized by Dagestan radical imam "Abu Dudzhan," killed in a fight with Russian security last year. However, in documents leaked by the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs's Counterintelligence Department, Tsarnaev is pinpointed as being in Tbilisi taking part in "seminars" organized by the Caucasus Fund, founded during the Georgian-South Ossetian war of 2008, a war started when Georgian troops invaded the pro-Russian Republic of South Ossetia during the Beijing Olympics. Georgia was supported by the United States and Israel, including U.S. Special Forces advisers. The Georgian intelligence documents indicate Tsarnaev attended the Jamestown seminars in Tbilisi.

As the Weathermen Underground used to say: "we're bringing the war home." We do have a President Weatherman, after all. What Iraq and other foreign places get nearly every day, Boston got a taste of this April 15 et seq.
This moderates somewhat the observation made initially for this monthly summary...
We began with a general observation on the domestic mass psychological states of North Korea and the United States: North Korea from within is in a state of perpetual war (albeit imaginary) yet externally only rarely exerting casualty-yielding aggression; the United States, in contrast, domestically is in a state of perpetual peace (albeit an Orwellian "peace") while on a daily basis killing foreign targets, combatants and innocents alike.

A Secret Deal on Drones, Sealed in Blood
That was a lie.
Albeit a joint CIA/Pakistani government lie repeated in the pages of "all of the news fit to print." Doubtless this retraction could be repeated innumerable times.

In the course of human events, it is perhaps advisable to not make public predictions, since in doing so one affords ones adversaries the opportunity to steer events towards ridicule of ones reputation. One should know better, particularly when one acknowledges that the adversaries have the wherewithal to alter the course of events...

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.

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.

The Enhanced Interrogation of John Brennan
[Editor's note - there are a couple of additions since the first posting: especially items relating to Sibel Edmonds and James Robbins]
Never mind this love-fest...
WaPo: John Brennan's confirmation hearing for CIA director
The enhanced interrogations of John Brennan being pursued by independent investigators are yielding astonishing reports. In our exclusive of June 2011 - Compromised by Birth - we put Brennan at the clandestine heart of the so-called "birther" controversy, either as one who scrubbed Obama's passport record (Jerome Corsi's allegation) or, as we argued, one who exploits that record as blackmail against Obama to keep him in line with the "natsec" (short for national security community) agenda, of which Brennan has been a low profile but central player. Just how central he has been to so many of the CIA misadventures and atrocities of recent times is finally coming to light, thanks in large part to veterans of "natsec" itself, who, upon Obama's appointment of Brennan to be Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), have come forth to report what they know about Brennan, all of it unflattering at best, and quite sinister at worst...
Consortiumnews: Brennan’s Loose Talk on Iran Nukes
“Fraudulent” is the inescapably appropriate adjective to describe the pre-Iraq-war intelligence conjured up by those (first and foremost George Tenet) who did the bidding of George Bush and Tony Blair. Former CIA colleagues who served under Brennan before and during the Iraq war tell us that, since he was such a close confidant of Tenet, Brennan almost certainly knew chapter and verse about the deliberate corruption of the intelligence on Iraq. And yet, we have no indication that you [Feinstein et al] have investigated whether Brennan was part of that fateful conspiracy...
Most vociferously in opposition to Brennan's nomination has been Michael Scheuer...
Foreign Policy Journal: John Brennan as CIA chief would serve his own interests, not America’s
Scheuer accuses Brennan of essentially protecting Osama Bin Laden in the 1990s when Brennan was, in the words of George Tenet, “CIA’s senior officer on the Arabian Peninsula.” Scheuer relates this anecdotal joke to convey the tight relationship between Tenet and Brennan:
Indeed, there was a popular joke inside CIA in the 1990’s which ran something like: “Question: Why is George Tenet never photographed from behind? Answer: Because they have not found a way to dislodge John Brennan’s nose.”
Corroborating this account is another CIA vet Larry Johnson...
NoQuarter: John Brennan Must Be Stopped
Then we have former CIA and Sate Department analyst Mel Goodman who, in disputing Brennan's claims that he was somehow out of the loop on renditions and torture, stated on...
Democracy Now: "He Was The Agency" - Ex-CIA Analyst Questions Brennan Claim He Couldn’t Stop Waterboarding, Torture
He was the agency. He was on the seventh floor of the agency. He was an executive assistant to the director [Tenet] and to the executive secretary [A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard] of the CIA.
Given his position, moving from “CIA’s senior officer on the Arabian Peninsula” to the CIA's top echelon at Langley with Tenet and Krongard, and considering a series of evidences, beginning with the close relationship between Tenet and then Saudi ambassador to the U.S. Prince Bandar, conveyed in such revelations as an "all-night shmooze" of the two on the evening of Sept. 8, 2001 (related in David Ottoway's The King's Messenger, Pg. 154), and of Tenet, drunk in Bandar's pool, screaming about Jews (related in in Patrick Tyler's A World of Trouble); then considering - by Senator Bob Graham's account - Bandar's financial support of at least two of the 9/11 hijackers through his BAE/Al Yamamah account in the Riggs Bank (later taken over by HSBC, the bank Obama's justice department has deemed "too big to jail"); then considering George Tenet's direct role - by Richard Clarke's accusation - in preventing the interception of the same hijackers that Bandar was funding; finally, as relates to Buzzy Krongard, when we consider - according to Max Keiser - Krongard's proximity to the United Airlines 9/11 put options through Alex Brown and Sons' Baltimore office; Tenet's and Krongard's deputy dog - John O. Brennan - becomes, to say the least, a "person of interest" in the 9/11/2001 stand-down.
Very tantalizingly, in a series of interviews concerning Operation Gladio "Plan B," Sibel Edmonds reveals - based on her time of FBI wire-tap translating in 2001-02 - that there were meetings held from 1997 through 2001 in Azerbaijan that included Ayman al Zawahiri, Prince Bandar and unnamed U.S. officials. When questioned about those officials, she says that some of them hold both official and advisory positions in the current Obama administration, as well as positions on the boards of top defense companies. Brennan, as counter-terrorism "czar" or as CIA director, would fit that description. Edmonds's comments come at 5:25 in the video at...

LaRouchePAC: Brennan and Obama, British-Saudi Assets?
What LaRouchePAC misses however is Brennan's connection to British intelligence via Damien Perl's Global Strategies Group that we uncovered in Compromised by Birth II.
+
There is also the matter of 9/11/2012 stand-down in Benghazi, leading to the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others, in which Brennan plays an even more central role. Such is the charge levied against Brennan in a recent E-book, Benghazi: The Definitive Report, by Jack Murphy and Brandon Webb. By this account, Stevens is said to have been at odds with the policies pursued by Brennan and Obama, including the overthrow of Qadaffi to begin with, and the spiriting of weapons from Libya into Syria, operations which Stevens was likely to obstruct; hence he as well as then DCI David Petraeus were kept out of the loop of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the Maghreb run by Brennan himself. One of those military operations (mind you, long after the NATO mission had officially ceased) targeted a high level Al Qaeda operative in retaliation for which the Benghazi attack is said to have occurred. Since the State Department and CIA were unaware of the JSOC operations, they were hence unprepared for the likelihood of retaliation by the Al Qaeda affiliated Ansar al Sharia.
It is noteworthy that, as Murphy and Webb write, while "Stevens likely helped consolidate as many weapons as possible after the war to safeguard them..." his better judgement against their proliferation was overruled as "Brennan exported them overseas to start another conflict." This then is very much a gun-running (and not just gun-running, but very likely shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile-running) operation like that of Fast and Furious. So it should come as no surprise, though it was news to us, that as LaRouchePAC reports:

FEMEN campaign for Berlusconi
Berlusconi's flagging campaing for re-election receives a big boo...st in its final hours...
Voice of Russia: Femen girls in nude Berlusconi greeting (VIDEO)
The three women pulled off their clothes, remaining only in jeans, as soon as the former prime minister appeared at the polling station.
They shouted "Basta Berlusconi" ("Enough with Berlusconi"), the same slogan was painted on their bare upper bodies.
The activists broke through a line of journalists at the polling station at the Dante Alighieri School and tried to reach Berlusconi, but they were immediately seized by bodyguards and dragged away.
The three women, Inna Shevchenko, Oksana Shachko and Elvire Duval-Sharle, were quickly detained by police. The women resisted as officers struggled to put jackets and handcuffs on them and seat them in a police car.
The 76-year-old politician’s reaction to the incident was calm...
Indeed, because he knows that more bare breasted femmes means more votes for Berlusconi, and more votes for Berlusconi means more bare breasted femmes... The average Italian male understands this, but do these alleged feminists comprehend the dynamic here? It might just be enough to put Berlusconi over the top.
