Stephen Cambone: Another neo-con purged from Pentagon.

December 1-3, 2006 -- In our Nov. 17/18/19 report, we reported that incoming Defense Secretary Robert Gates would eliminate Donald Rumsfeld's pet creation, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence -- widely seen as a competitor to the CIA. The man who sits in that job -- Stephen Cambone -- has just announced he will resign from it on December 31.

While Homeland Security Department under Michael Chertoff hypes secret terrorist rating list and phony cyber-attacks on Wall Street, it permits Russian-Israeli gangsters tied to the same elements who poisoned Alexander Litvinenko to freely travel on forged US passports in and out of the United States.

December 1-3, 2006 -- While the Department of Homeland Security has placed the name of every air passenger traveling into and out of the United States on a secret terrorist rating list based on the mining of various types of personal data and is today hyping a phony "Al Qaeda" cyber attack alert directed at stock and commodities exchanges and other financial houses in the United States, the same department, headed by Michael Chertoff, is ignoring a major breakdown in U.S. national security.

On November 27, WMR reported on the case of Israeli Hazki Hen who was arrested for attempting to smuggle as much as $100 million in counterfeit $100 bills from the semi-independent enclave of South Ossetia via middlemen in Georgia and Israel. We can now report that a similar ring connected to the Russian-Israeli Mafia, involving some key participants in the Iran-Contra scandal and illegal U.S. wars in Central America in the 1980s, is traveling into and out of the United States on cleverly forged U.S. passports.

GOP PageGate buried by GOP House members, staffers, and lobbyists.

December 1-3, 2006 -- WMR's Capitol Hill sources report that a combination of GOP members of Congress, their senior staffs, and pro-GOP lobbyists have cooperated to cover up the scandal known as "PageGate." Although the story about former Rep. Mark Foley's on-line dalliances with underage male pages engulfed a number of other senior GOP House leaders, including the office of Speaker Dennis Hastert, and was the subject of a House Ethics Committee inquiry, an FBI investigation, and a Florida law enforcement probe, the support given by GOP lobbyists to legal defense funds for key staffers, in order to defray legal expenses, has resulted in a mutual cover-up of major proportions.
