We have just received a notice from a firm that specializes in digging electronic information out of the woodwork. The firm lists several pages of topics, some of which are unbelievable. They are very expensive but one must assume that their data is correct. We are excerpting some of this list and have included their address for those who have the money to learn the truth as, according to the précis, it has never been available before.

• Successor to the NSA ‘Harvest” programs that catalog important overseas telephone calls made via communications satellites.
• In depth information on the DoD’s  DISA sytems / VIPER and others

There are many more fascinating offerings but it should be noted that on the list we were sent, prices are very high indeed but approved credit cards, especially American Express, can be used. We have not availed ourselves of this reported service but as it might prove to be interesting to our many readers, especially those with large amounts of cash, we are including the address for your general information: www.spywarelabs.com  and one must apply for an entrance code.

Voice of the White House

In the past two issues, we carried comments from a reporter assigned to the White House press corps. Some of these remarks, most especially one about Bush’s physical and mental problems, drew an enormous number of viewers and hundreds of inquiries, most especially from foreign press entities. The reporter advised us by email that there was rampant fury in the White House and security was becoming very tight. As a result of this, he decided to lay low for a few weeks and see how the wind was blowing. Yesterday, he sent us the following material which we are now posting. Some of it is outrageous in the extreme but to date, no one has proven him wrong.

            “Bush has told the CIA chief to either resign or be forced to take the entire blame for the Iraq prison scandal. It is always pleasant to see how much trouble you can cause and still not get into trouble yourself. You have been posting my comments (but not all of them…why?) and one of the staff in the White House replied. You posted his objections, gave me the courtesy of rebutting him and it all went up. This fellow made the mistake of putting down his DoD address at the White House with disastrous results. His address was on the DISA system and after your posting, the system was immediately attacked from outside and there were serious problems. Their Niper and Sniper nets were put in danger and there is now hell to pay here. They still haven’t found me, not for want of trying, but they do hate your site. Someone here said you were a “Satanist Communist bastard” with “no respect for what our wonderful President is trying to do.” That’s a direct quote, by the way. I have it on my pocket recorder in case you are interested. Bush had a Rose Garden Experience with the tame members of the press. Questions, known in advance, were asked of him and he responded with his coached answers. He didn’t look very good all in all. Someone asked him about rising gas prices and like some small child, he squalled “It’s all the fault of Congress! They wouldn’t pass my wonderful energy bill so blame them.” Pathetic. We have rising gas prices because the Bush people have invaded an Arab country, declared a religious Crusade against the evil Muslims and generally behaved like a bull in a china shop. Since Muslims control most of the world’s oil, we wonder why they took so long to retaliate. The poor Saudis are caught between the rock of Arab fundamentalism and the hard place of American business needs. When they announced that they were unilaterally going to increase production at Bush’s strong demand, the fundamentalists attacked foreign workers there, killing quite a few and scaring the shit out of the rest. The survivors are now fleeing in huge numbers, causing terrible damage to Saudi oil production.  This was a shot across the Saud family bows and now we have to see which way they will jump. If they support Bush, they will also suffer more “incidents” and eventually be toppled. If they support the fundamentalists, the Bush people will threaten to invade them. Of course Bush can’t do this because he can’t even conquer Iraq so this is an idle threat and the Arabs know it. If gas prices continue to escalate, Bush is doomed in November. In my opinion, he is doomed anyway. If this trend isn’t reversed, people here are afraid of criminal actions, impeachment proceedings (which are unlikely now) and other, less pleasant things. The Bush people hate anyone who does not agree with them and slavishly obey the President’s every wish, tolerate the British, love Israel and detest China (a growing business rival.) The security people are now having a full plate and people like me who leak have dropped a notch on the screen but we are still there. You will see a lot more very serious leaks before it is over and it won’t be over until November, we all hope. Nixon had the character (?) to resign when he saw he had lost the game but they will have to drag Bush screaming out of the Oval Office. The rest of them will all flee to Israel where they will be safe from prosecution. That’s Israel’s problem in the end. Arab suicide bombers on one side and the Neo Cons on the other.”

            “Here is an interesting conundrum for you and your people to chew on: The Pentagon is hastily moving US troops stationed in Europe and Asia either to Iraq or to nearby areas like Italy. They are moving two divisions from Germany, one from South Korea and others from different areas. Also, main headquarters is being shifted from England to Italy. Now couple this information with the extension of tours of duty of all American military units now on active service, Kerrey’s “backdoor draft” and we have an interesting situation. If Bush wants to withdraw from Iraq within a month, why all of these troop movements? I had dinner with a friend of my wife’s whose husband is a civilian with the DoD and from that source I learn that we are not going to get out of Iraq. Loud proclamations that we are going to leave will be made but at the very last moment, the new puppet régime there, bought and paid for by the US, will make an “impassioned appeal” to Bush to allow American troops to remain “for just a little while” until the fledgling new and democratic Iraqi government can get safely off the ground. This request, as I understand it, was written in the White House, sent to the Pentagon and forwarded to Iraq. The scenario has been carefully scripted, down to the last “sad but resolute” GI interview from a soldier that really wants to go home but realizes now that our beloved President has the vision and compassion to assist the growth of democracy in an area where it has never been before. Sounds just like something Josef Stalin would order done. No, we are not going to get out of Iraq at all; we will be there for at least five more years according to three sources who ought to know. Recruitment has effectively stopped so the military won’t release those men whose tours are over. They will stay in either until Bush is defeated in November or, if he is reelected, he can institute the draft he and his people have carefully planned for all along. When I said a few days ago that the witch hunt for leakers has died down, I was wrong. It has just gone underground but is still just as intense. Bush is in a crazy rage about all the resistance he has been facing. He believes very firmly that he is acting on the orders of God Almighty and that anyone, be it the head of the CIA or some rogue reporter, must be punished for daring to thwart the Will of God! Some of the saner staffers here are becoming distinctly edgy and some are thinking of quitting but God help any of them who quit and talk! They have signed agreements to never, never discuss anything that they have learned while in the White House. I said before that Bush was a mean, vicious man and it is starting to slop out of the Presidential bedpan into the halls of power. I said there is something really wrong with this man (I personally think that he is as crazy as a loon…an unscientific diagnosis but given what I have seen and heard of him, not inaccurate) and events will prove me right!”

Note: After our recent dissection of Bush’s erratic and peculiar behavior in the White House, as reported by a member of the Press Pool, the ‘Madness of King George’ has gotten world-wide attention and a number of foreign papers are beginning to ask questions about the President’s sanity. Tbrnews, however, is never credited with bringing these facts to the public attention but, in the final analysis, all of us here are satisfied that the world is finally learning what happens when the lunatics run the asylum.

Bush's Erratic Behavior Worries White House Aides

President George W. Bush’s increasingly erratic behavior and wide mood swings has the halls of the West Wing buzzing lately as aides privately express growing concern over their leader’s state of mind.

In meetings with top aides and administration officials, the President goes from quoting the Bible in one breath to obscene tantrums against the media, Democrats and others that he classifies as “enemies of the state.”

Worried White House aides paint a portrait of a man on the edge, increasingly wary of those who disagree with him and paranoid of a public that no longer trusts his policies in Iraq or at home.

“It reminds me of the Nixon days,” says a longtime GOP political consultant with contacts in the White House. “Everybody is an enemy; everybody is out to get him. That’s the mood over there.”

In interviews with a number of White House staffers who were willing to talk off the record, a picture of an administration under siege has emerged, led by a man who declares his decisions to be “God’s will” and then tells aides to “fuck over” anyone they consider to be an opponent of the administration.

“We’re at war, there’s no doubt about it. What I don’t know anymore is just who the enemy might be,” says one troubled White House aide. “We seem to spend more time trying to destroy John Kerry than al Qaeda and our enemies list just keeps growing and growing.”

Aides say the President gets “hung up on minor details,” micromanaging to the extreme while ignoring the bigger picture. He will spend hours personally reviewing and approving every attack ad against his Democratic opponent and then kiss off a meeting on economic issues.

“This is what is killing us on Iraq,” one aide says. “We lost focus. The President got hung up on the weapons of mass destruction and an unproven link to al Qaeda. We could have found other justifiable reasons for the war but the President insisted the focus stay on those two, tenuous items.”

Aides who raise questions quickly find themselves shut out of access to the President or other top advisors. Among top officials, Bush’s inner circle is shrinking. Secretary of State Colin Powell has fallen out of favor because of his growing doubts about the administration’s war against Iraq.

The President's abrupt dismissal of CIA Directory George Tenet Wednesday night is, aides say, an example of how he works.

"Tenet wanted to quit last year but the President got his back up and wouldn't hear of it," says an aide. "That would have been the opportune time to make a change, not in the middle of an election campaign but when the director challenged the President during the meeting Wednesday, the President cut him off by saying 'that's it George. I cannot abide disloyalty. I want your resignation and I want it now."

Tenet was allowed to resign "voluntarily" and Bush informed his shocked staff of the decision Thursday morning. One aide says the President actually described the decision as "God's will."

God may also be the reason Attorney General John Ashcroft, the administration’s lightning rod because of his questionable actions that critics argue threatens freedoms granted by the Constitution, remains part of the power elite. West Wing staffers call Bush and Ashcroft “the Blues Brothers” because “they’re on a mission from God.”

“The Attorney General is tight with the President because of religion,” says one aide. “They both believe any action is justifiable in the name of God.”

But the President who says he rules at the behest of God can also tongue-lash those he perceives as disloyal, calling them “fucking assholes” in front of other staff, berating one cabinet official in front of others and labeling anyone who disagrees with him “unpatriotic” or “anti-American.”

“The mood here is that we’re under siege, there’s no doubt about it,” says one troubled aide who admits he is looking for work elsewhere. “In this administration, you don’t have to wear a turban or speak Farsi to be an enemy of the United States. All you have to do is disagree with the President.”

The White House did not respond to requests for comment on the record.
