CDC Say They Destroyed Documents That Prove Vaccines Cause Autism

Posted on July 30, 2015 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai in News, US // 0 Comments

A current CDC senior scientist has blown the whistle on a monumental cover-up that confirms the link between vaccines and autism.

Dr. William Thompson says that CDC researchers conspired to destroy documents relating to a study that proved vaccinations caused autism. Four co-authors of the study met in a meeting room, and brought all the hardcopy documents of an explosive report, in order to destroy them.

Sharylattkisson.com reports:

Despite this whistleblower testimony, which Dr. Thompson provided to Rep. Bill Posey, R-Florida, there is little chance of a meaningful hearing or investigation.

In an untainted news environment, the allegations would make headlines in most legitimate publications and would trigger federal inquiries. However, the interests of the powerful pharmaceutical industry reach deeply into Congress and the news media through lobbyists, propaganda and advertising dollars.

The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. –CDC Senior Scientist Dr. William Thompson

That’s why Congressman Posey resorted to simply reading some of Dr. Thompson’s statement today on the House floor…including the part in which Dr. Thompson says he retained the evidence that had been thrown in the garbage can, in the unlikely event that a neutral investigative or scientific body would like to see it today.

“[B]ecause I assumed it was illegal and would violate both FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] and DOJ [Department of Justice] requests, I kept hardcopies of all documents in my office, and I retain all associated computer files,” Posey quotes Dr. Thompson as reporting.

The CDC and Thompson’s co-author Dr. Frank DeStefano, CDC Director of Immunization Safety, have defended the controversial study as originally published.

One final note: Rep. Posey unequivocally states that he is pro-vaccine. However, the propaganda campaign typically falsely portrays anyone who addresses vaccine safety issues as “anti-vaccine.”

Congressman Posey speaks on the House floor about a CDC whistleblower exposing deception at the CDC. July 29, 2015:

Rep. Posey’s entire statement about Dr. Thompson:

“I rise today on matters of scientific integrity and research. To begin with, I am absolutely, resolutely, pro-vaccine. Advancements in medical immunization have saved countless and greatly benefitted public health. That being said, it’s troubling to me that in a recent Senate hearing on childhood vaccinations, it was never mentioned that our government has paid out over $3 billion through a vaccine injury compensation program for children who have been injured by vaccinations.

“Regardless of the subject matter, parents making decisions about their children’s health deserve to have the best information available to them. They should be able to count on federal agencies to tell them the truth. For these reasons, I bring the following matter to the House floor.

“In August 2014, Dr. William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, worked with a whistleblower attorney to provide my office with documents related to a 2004 CDC study that examined the possibility of a relationship between [the] mumps, measles, rubella vaccine and autism. In a statement released in August, 2014, Dr. Thompson stated, ‘I regret that my co-authors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics.’

“Mr. Speaker, I respectfully request the following excepts from the statement written by Dr. Thompson be entered into the record.

“Now quoting Dr. Thompson.

“‘My primary job duties while working in the immunization safety branch from 2000 to 2006, were to later co-lead three major vaccine safety studies. The MADDSP, MMR autism cases control study was being carried out in response to the Wakefield-Lancet study that suggested an association between the MMR vaccine and an autism-like health outcome.

There were several major concerns among scientists and consumer advocates outside the CDC in the fall of 2000, regarding the execution of the Verstraeten Study. One of the important goals that was determined up front, in the spring of 2001, before any of these studies started, was to have all three protocols vetted outside the CDC prior to the start of the analyses so consumer advocates could not claim that we were presenting analyses that suited our own goals and biases.

We hypothesized that if we found statistically significant effects at either 18 or 36 month thresholds, we would conclude that vaccinating children early with MMR vaccine could lead to autism-like characteristics or features. We all met and finalized the study protocol and analysis plan. The goal was to not deviate from the analysis plan to avoid the debacle that occurred with the Verstraeten thimerosal study published in Pediatrics in 2003.

‘At the Sept 5th meeting we discussed in detail how to code race for both the sample and the birth certificate sample. At the bottom of table 7, it also shows that for the non-birth certificate sample, the adjusted race effect statistical significance was huge.

‘All the authors and I met and decided sometime between August and September 2002, not to report any race effects from the paper. Sometime soon after the meeting, we decided to exclude reporting any race effects. The co-authors scheduled a meeting to destroy documents related to the study. The remaining four co-authors all met and brought a big garbage can into the meeting room, and reviewed and went through all the hardcopy documents that we had thought we should discard, and put them into a huge garbage can. However, because I assumed it was illegal and would violate both FOIA and DOJ requests, I kept hardcopies of all documents in my office, and I retain all associated computer files. I believe we intentionally withheld controversial findings from the final draft of the Pediatrics paper.’

“Mr. Speaker, I believe it is our duty to insure that the documents that Dr. Thompson are not ignored. Therefore I will provide them to members of Congress and the House Committees upon request. Considering the nature of the whistleblower’s documents as well as the involvement of the CDC, a hearing and a thorough investigation is warranted.

“So I ask, Mr. Speaker, I beg, I implore my colleagues on the appropriations committees to please, please take such action.”

NSA REQUESTED WARRANTLESS SURVEILLANCE BEFORE 9/11

Report: Bush administration used blackmailed judges to approve NSA spying

NSA Requested Warrantless Surveillance BEFORE 9/11

Image Credits: ndrwfgg / Wiki.

by WAYNE MADSEN | INFOWARS.COM | JULY 30, 2015


Officials of the National Security Agency requested warrantless wiretapping from the chairman of the President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Council (NSTAC) at a meeting at NSA headquarters on February 27, 2001, seven months before the 9/11 attack.

This stunning revelation was made by the former NSTAC chairman, Joseph Nacchio, who cited court documents from the government’s retaliatory 2005 case against him for insider trading. Nacchio made his remarks at a Newsmaker press conference at the National Press Club on July 29.

In response to NSA’s request, Nacchio asked the agency representatives if they had a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant. The reply was no. Nacchio then asked them if they had presidential executive authority. The answer was again no. Although Nacchio also served as chairman and CEO of Qwest Communications, his refusal to provide NSA with warrantless wiretapping of Qwest lines was made more significant in his role as NSTAC chairman. Other NSTAC members quickly followed suit in rejecting NSA’s request. They included AT&T, SBC Communications, Sprint, Bell South, Verizon, WorldCom, and others.

The Bush administration retaliated against Nacchio by indicting him for insider trading in 2005, five days before the expiration of the statute of limitations. Rather than try Nacchio in the Southern District of New York, where the alleged trades were made, or the Northern District of New Jersey, where Nacchio resided, the Department of Justice went judge shopping and decided to indict in Denver, the location of Qwest’s corporate headquarters. George Nottingham, the judge chosen was in a blackmailable position.

After trying Nacchio, Nottingham resigned after he was accused of obstruction of justice involving prostitutes and strippers. It was clear that NSA, which operates a large signals intelligence processing center in Aurora, near Denver, was aware that Nottingham had personal problems that could be exploited by Justice Department prosecutors. And that is exactly what happened when Nottingham disallowed Nacchio’s defense team’s evidence of NSA’s attempt to get Nacchio to break the law in 2001 by permitting unlawful intercepts. The NSA wanted to make Nacchio an example for all the other telecommunications CEOs. As a result, the Bush administration discovered that its warrantless program code named STELLAR WIND had the full support of the CEOs who fell in line after 9/11.

An unnamed U.S. intelligence agency also requested Nacchio to have Qwest’s European subsidiary hire certain employees for unspecified purposes. As a result of Edward Snowden’s revelations, it is now known that NSA’s and its British counterpart’s Operation SOCIALIST, implanted engineers into Belgacom’s switches in Brussels to conduct illegal wiretapping.

Bacchio served six years at the federal penitentiary in Schuykill, Pennsylvania. He was released in 2013. Nacchio maintains his innocence and says that he was selected for prosecution by a Justice Department willing to retaliate for his refusal to follow NSA’s orders.

Nacchio also cited court records showing that he was lured to NSA in February 2001 to supposedly meet with General Michael Hayden, NSA’s director. Hayden never showed for the meeting as it was a ruse to get Nacchio into one of NSA’s top secret rooms called a SCIF.The meeting started out with a conversations about GROUNDBREAKER, a new signals intelligence infrastructure, which, along with TRAILBLAZER, were major pet projects of Hayden. Both systems also disregarded the U,S, Constitution and NSA’s own regulations against eavesdropping on U.S. citizens. NSA insiders charged Hayden with his own “insider trading” by awarding lucrative contracts to his favorite firm, SAIC, in return for a cushy job after his retirement from the Air Force. Hayden is now a business partner of Michael Chertoff, the former Homeland Security Secretary.

Nacchio criticized the government’s prosecutori regime. He said that 98 percent of all federal indictments are plea bargained out.Of the two percent that go to trial, the governmrent has a 95 percent win rate, which is greater than those of the USSR and Nazi Germany.

Conservatives Successfully Defeat Egregious Corporate Welfare: Export-Import Bank Remains Expired

 

CONGRESS MUST PRESERVE TODAY’S WIN FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS

July 30, 2015 | 202-228-7561

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement regarding the Senate's final passage of a long-term highway reauthorization bill. Immediately following its passage, the Senate approved a three-month highway extension, which the House passed earlier in the week. This short-term extension did not include a provision to resurrect the Export-Import Bank and has been sent to the president for his signature.

"Today was a major win. Just one week ago, the Washington Cartel was certain that the Export-Import Bank -- a quintessential example of cronyism and corporate welfare -- would be reauthorized. The fix was in. And yet, after a long battle on the Senate floor, as Mark Twain might say, reports of Ex-Im's revival were greatly exaggerated.

"The House stood strong and refused to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank. And, today, the Senate was forced to relent and pass a three-month extension in the Highway bill, without reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank.

"I commend House conservatives for their strong leadership. This Fall, no doubt, the Washington Cartel will make yet another run at reviving Ex-Im. Lobbyists will descend on Congress, doling out checks and trying to extend hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer loan guarantees to a handful of giant corporations. But, if the House continues to demonstrate their courage of their convictions, together we will make permanent a major victory for hard-working taxpayers. No more cronyism; instead, opportunity for all, and favoritism towards none."

LEFTISTS SUGGEST AFRICAN LIONS MORE IMPORTANT THAN AFRICAN-AMERICANS

Media cares more about "Cecil the Lion" than African-American killed by police

Leftists Suggest African Lions More Important Than African-Americans

by KIT DANIELS | INFOWARS.COM | JULY 30, 2015


The mainstream media has published over nine times as many articles about the late Cecil the Lion than Samuel DuBose, the unarmed African-American who was shot in the head by a University of Cincinnati cop.

Additionally, leftist politicians and media pundits are also trying to prevent a pro-life group from releasing more undercover Planned Parenthood videos, even though nearly 2000 African-Americans are aborted every day in the U.S. alone.

A quick search on Google News reveals that around 12,600,000 articles containing the phrase “Cecil the Lion” were published over the past couple of days, but in comparison there’s been only 1,800,000 articles about DuBose, who died after Officer Ray Tensing shot him during a July 19 traffic stop over an alleged missing license plate.

073015dubosestroked

Even comedian Jimmy Kimmel choked up on air over the death of Cecil, who was killed by a Minnesota dentist during a safari hunt on July 1, but Kimmel hasn’t similarly shed tears over DuBose nor has he ever commented on Boko Haram, the Ebola crisis and the bloodshed in Sudan.

“Also absent from his [Cecil the Lion] monologue was any mention that Zimbabwe is run by a maniac accused of genocide who ate a baby elephant at his 91st birthday party,” Twitchy reported.

And Zimbabwe residents are confused as to why leftists care more about a lion than people.

“Why are the Americans more concerned than us?” Zimbabwe resident Joseph Mabuwa said to Reuters. “We never hear them speak out when villagers are killed by lions and elephants in Hwange.”

But while liberals are exploding in rage over the death of Cecil, they are not quite as angry at Planned Parenthood for chopping up dead African-American babies for resell.

9:37 AM - 30 Jul 2015

*********

“I’m against online mobs as a general rule, but [Cecil’s killer] Walter Palmer deserves all of the public shaming,” Time’s Jill Filipovic tweeted only hours after claiming Planned Parenthood was ‘saving lives’ by salvaging aborted babies.

The reality, however, is that African-Americans account for over one-third of all abortions in America even though they represent only around 12% of the population and black babies are five times more likely to be aborted than whites.

Overall, since Roe v. Wade in 1973, an estimated 16 million blacks have been aborted.

“We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger famously said in 1939.

“The idea that “Cecil the Lion” is eliciting more grief than the children who have fallen victim to Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer-subsidized human butcher shop ought to make you as itchy as it does me. There’s a moral equivalency at work there that gives me the willies.”

Protesters left signs and stuffed animals in front of the Minnesota dental practice of Walter Palmer, who is accused of killing Cecil, a beloved lion, in Zimbabwe.

TNS/Protesters left signs and stuffed animals in front of the Minnesota dental practice of Walter Palmer, who is accused of killing Cecil, a beloved lion, in Zimbabwe.

For bow-hunting an animal in Zimbabwe, Walter Palmer’s family, livelihood and very life are now under threat. The Minnesota dentist has been driven into hiding by a nearly global mob armed with everything short of torches and pitchforks. He’s closed his thriving dental practice in the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and has literally closed the door on the world against a torrent of invective ranging from disinterestedly disapproving to imaginatively graphic. Signs outside Palmer’s dental practice ran the gamut from the dubious “We Are Cecil” to the hyperbolic “ROT IN HELL!”

Of course, the media set up camp outside the poor guy’s home and business like the Turks laying siege to Vienna. Reporters flipped perfect hair and flashed perfect smiles from the foot of the Palmer family driveway. Actresses like Mia Farrow even published the Palmer family’s address, extending the cone of malevolence to include Palmer’s wife and two children, who have yet to be accused of anything.

I hunt regularly, although I don’t take trophies. I have no objection to trophy hunting, as long as the remainder of the animal is consumed. All true hunters agree that dragging some animal out of the bush so you can nuke it with a perfectly tuned .375 H&H from the comfort of an air-conditioned Range Rover is the sporting equivalent of fishing in an aquarium — especially if you add the unpardonable sin of leaving the carcass to spoil rather than properly dressing it and disposing of the offal. And all true hunters frown on illegally baiting and taking the animal outside a legal area. But I believe there are legal recourses for that level of criminal behavior. To the best of my recollection, they generally involve fines. If Palmer, who maintains his innocence, did knowingly participate in the illegal harvesting of a regionally popular animal, then he ought to pay for it. The guy coughed up 55 large to play cowboys and lions; I expect he can afford to scrape together a hefty fee to remunerate the Zimbabwean government for its time. God knows they’re strapped for cash in Robert Mugabe’s personal African playground.

But that’s not enough for quite a few members of his sudden chorus of critics. These people want blood — in some cases, quite literally. Disgraced former game show host Piers Morgan declared his hope to “skin (Palmer) alive, cut his head from his neck, and (take) a bunch of photos of us all grinning inanely at his quivering flesh.” A British guy who thinks the 2ndAmendment needs work would like to brutally murder another human being because he killed a fluffy, lovable lion with an adorable little nickname.

And that brings up what I think is an entirely fair question: Have you people lost your bloody minds? Planned Parenthood has killed millions of babies right here in the United States, and they’ve done it on your nickel! 

If the trend of the stomach-churning anti-humanity Planned Parenthood butchers have displayed in the series of videos famously hitting the Web of late continues on the same upward curve, the next one will feature Planned Parenthood honcho enjoying a nice meal of white wine and grilled toddler. The idea that “Cecil the Lion” is eliciting more grief than the children who have fallen victim to Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer-subsidized human butcher shop ought to make you as itchy as it does me. There’s a moral equivalency at work there that gives me the willies.

And if the ongoing holocaust of abortion and baby parts black markets doesn’t sway your sensibilities back into balance, think of it from a scientific perspective. Over 4.4 billion years, Cecil the Lion’s ancestors fought their way through the perils and pitfalls of natural selection to arrive in 2015 as 500-pound, 35 mph-running, razor-sharp claw-swiping, top-of-the-food-chain predators. Palmer’s ancestors spent the same amount of time developing cerebral cortices and opposable thumbs. Humanity wins, because humanity always wins — except when it preys on itself.

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DEFENDS PLANNED PARENTHOOD: ‘NOT A LOT OF EVIDENCE,’ STING VIDEOS OBTAINED ‘FRAUDULENTLY’

Does ANYONE care about the babies??? ANY OF YOU???? HELLOOO....your president doesn't give a crap, your government has turned inside out and all I ask is where is the rage? Are you calling? writing? your representatives or do you really think this practice of mutilating babies is just fine? Or maybe you just don't care. SHAME ON YOU AMERICA, SHAME ON YOU FOR STAYING ASLEEP, FOR ACCEPTING THE STATUS QUO BECAUSE YOU THINK THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. Americans should hang their heads in shame if they do nothing to stop the killing of innocent babies, if Americans do nothing to stop the takeover of this once great Republic by the most vile and corrupt in-humans ever allowed to breathe. GOD BLESS THE LAST STANDING PATRIOTS OF AMERICA AND GOD BLESS THE MILLIONS OF BABIES WHO HAVE DIED AT THE HANDS OF AMERICANS

White House says it has no intention of launching investigation into fetal organ harvesting allegations

by INFOWARS.COM | JULY 30, 2015


White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended Planned Parenthood at a press conference Thursday, saying videos showing representatives explicitly discussing the alleged sale of aborted fetal tissue are “not a lot of evidence” of illegalities, and that Planned Parenthood “lives up to the highest ethical standards.”

Speaking to Fox News’ Doug McKelway, Earnest said the Obama administration has no intention of pursuing an investigation into the allegations, despite numerous calls from members of Congress to defund the abortion provider, and independent investigations launched by various state governors.

“Has the White House had any communication with Planned Parenthood about standardizing procedures for fetal tissue research? Has the White House had any concerns about illegalities in this realm? Have you had any sort of investigation, or are you considering one?” McKelway asks.

“Not that I’m aware of,” Earnest says. “I think Planned Parenthood has been quite specific about the policies and procedures that they have in place, and I know they have described those policies and procedures as living up to the highest ethical standards.”

Man Shot Over Confederate Flag

Posted On 28 Jul 2015 By : admin

It was only a matter of time before the media-driven kerfuffle over the Confederate flag led to violence, and now that time has come. In South Bend, Indiana, a 28-year-old man was shot Thursday when he got into a confrontation at a local convenience store. According to the South Bend Tribune, the incident took place around 6:30 in a predominantly black section of town. Witnesses say the man pulled into the store driving his white SUV which displayed the controversial flag. There, he got into a shouting match with a group of black men in the parking lot.

“I’ve never known him to use any racial slurs,” said one of the victim’s friends, Cally Baker. “Unless someone provoked him, I can’t imagine him just blurting out the N-word.”

Witnesses say he was provoked, however, leading to racial slurs on both sides of the encounter. At some point in the confrontation, one of the black men pulled a gun and shot him twice. The victim was found later a block east of the scene, bleeding but alive. He is currently resting at home and is expected to make a full recovery.

“The whole situation is kind of crazy,” said Baker. “I just don’t want it to become a huge racial thing.”

Well, it’s a white man shot by blacks, so there’s little danger of that. If the races had been reversed, this story would be on the front page of every newspaper in the country. Protestors would be back out on the streets. If a white man had shot a black man waving a Black Panthers flag, every pundit in America would have something to say about it. Hell, even with the story the way it is, it won’t take long for enterprising liberals to blame white racism for the violence.

Alas, this is what happens when the media ignites a firestorm over symbols that mean something dear to millions of Americans. They have done everything in their power to equate the Confederate flag with the Nazi swastika, and a great many people are buying into it hook, line, and sinker. They don’t understand that to southerners – and even a fair share of northerners – that flag represents something much bigger than slavery or racism or whatever else the elitists think. It represents freedom, solidarity, culture, and heroism. And the people who stand behind those concepts are not about to let the New York City establishment tell them that they are bad people.

So where does that leave us? It leaves us with a country divided ever further. This may be the first shooting in direct connection to the Confederate flag, but it probably won’t be the last. Racial tensions are higher than they’ve been in years, and eventually that anger is going to boil over.

China’s Stock Market Just Crashed in the Most Predictable Way

By Joshua Krause
Just last month, Chinese stocks were on one hell of a hot streak. The Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges had risen to unprecedented heights, and were worth a total of $10 trillion.
But by early July, their value had plummeted by a whopping 30% in a very short time frame.
The Chinese government stepped in with several market controls to stabilize their stocks, which actually succeeded for a while. The government worked with several top financial firms to buy $20 billion in stocks, and over 1,400 companies were allowed to suspend the trading of their shares, among many other measures.
However, they just found out the hard way, that you can’t really plug a sinking ship.

Chinese equities have suffered the sharpest one-day crash in eight years, sending powerful tremors through global commodity markets and smashing currencies across East Asia, Latin America and Africa.
The Shanghai Composite index fell 8.5pc despite emergency measures to shore up the market, with a roster of the biggest blue-chip companies down by the maximum daily limit of 10pc. The mood was further soured by news that corporated profits in China are now contracting in absolute terms, falling 0.3pc over the past year.
The violence of the moves unnerved investors worldwide, stirring fears that the Communist Party may be losing control after stoking a series of epic bubbles in property, corporate investment and equities to keep up the blistering pace of economic growth.

In all honesty, this was entirely predictable. I described how well this strategy would work on July 7th when the Communist party first decided to dump money into their stock market, in the hopes that this would stop its precipitous decline.
What’s worse, is how financial institutions in China are reacting to the healthy dose of realism that their stock market so desperately needed. The country’s top stock brokerages decided to collectively buy almost $20 billion in stocks to help stabilize the market, part of which was supplied by the government. You might recognize this as the award winning strategy that was employed by several top financial firms in the US, just after the market crash of 1929. The Great Depression quickly followed.
Of course, anyone could have predicted that. While a depression has yet to develop in China, their stocks are falling despite the best efforts of their government and other major financial institutions (which are really just an extension of the Communist Party). There is a clear historical precedent for this sort of thing. Once a bubble pops, pumping more air into it will never blow it back up. The best you can do is blow more bubbles into other sectors of the economy, which is exactly what China has been doing for years to stave off a genuine correction in their markets.
You might notice that this is the same strategy employed by America’s financial elite. We’ve managed to keep our economy afloat for decades by bouncing from one economic bubble to the next, accumulating more and more debt along the way. But at the end of the day, that can’t work forever. There needs to be a correction at some point, and the longer they wait, the worse it will be when it finally comes crashing down. And that day seems to be long overdue for the likes of China, the US, andthe rest of the world.

Marine from Chattanooga DESTROYS Obama in Viral Video – Brutal Response in 11 Words!

By TPIWriter | 4,551 views

1marine

Never mess with the United States Marines! That’s what President Barack Obama just learned from a furious Marine (below) who is not happy with the lack of respect for those we lost in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Watch (below) as this Marine veteran – who doesn’t give his name – explains how he served in Chattanooga and is willing to speak out against the Commander in Chief publicly.

He noted the hypocrisy between Obama’s reaction in Chattanooga, and his responses to the death of Michael Brown, the Baltimore riots, and even the death of Whitney Houston. Obama’s priorities are seriously misguided.

He said this to Obama about his response:

“You sit slumped down in a chair and ramble through some poorly scripted apology that sounds as sincere as ‘if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor’.”

And,

“If you want our respect, earn it, because right now all you have is our resentment.”

He continued:

“Our Founding Fathers knew this day would come, so they left us, the people, the power to overcome. Mr. Obama, you are a tyrant and nothing more.”

Watch his bold video here:

What do you think about this Marine’s strong words for Obama? Please share his video on Facebook with friends. Every American should see this!

In response to a popular online petition calling for pardoning Edward Snowden, the White House says the former NSA analyst should return home to “be judged by a jury of his peers.”
The 2013 petition calling for a pardon drew 167,000 responses.
“Instead of constructively addressing these issues, Mr. Snowden’s dangerous decision to steal and disclose classified information had severe consequences for the security of our country and the people who work day in and day out to protect it,” a White House response to the petition posted on the We the People website states.
“If he felt his actions were consistent with civil disobedience, then he should do what those who have taken issue with their own government do: Challenge it, speak out, engage in a constructive act of protest, and — importantly — accept the consequences of his actions. He should come home to the United States, and be judged by a jury of his peers — not hide behind the cover of an authoritarian regime. Right now, he’s running away from the consequences of his actions,” said Lisa Monaco, the White House homeland security and counterterrorism adviser.
Details disclosed by Snowden revealed just how pervasive government surveillance of the American people is.
Leaked court orders show the NSA collects virtually every phone call record in the United States and agency Powerpoint slides document how the NSA conducts “upstream” collection of data directly from telecommunications providers.
Under the name “Cincinnatus,” Snowden contacted the journalist Glenn Greenwald and then filmmaker Laura Poitras. He decided to work with Greenwald and Poitras after The Washington Post refused to publish 41 PowerPoint slides exposing the PRISM electronic data mining program.
After The Guardian published Greenwald’s articles on NSA surveillance, dozens of other media sources followed suit, including Der Spiegel, Le Monde and, eventually, The Washington Post and The New York Times.
The reporting earned The Guardian and The Washington Post the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for exposing “widespread surveillance” and for initiating a “huge public debate about the extent of the government’s spying,” Politico reported.
Following the revelations, Snowden applied to 21 countries for political asylum. In response, the US government and Vice President Joe Biden pressured governments to refuse asylum.
The Russian government eventually granted asylum under a caveat, issued by Vladimir Putin, that Snowden discontinue “his work aimed at harming our American partners.”
Despite the US government’s contention Snowden’s revelations are criminal, he has received a number of awards, including the German “Whistleblower Prize” and “Big Brother” award, the Sam Adams Award, the Ridenhour Truth-Telling Prize, the IQ Award issued by Mensa, and others.














CRITICS TROUNCE HILLARY CLINTON AND HER SEXUAL PREDATOR HUSBAND

Victim Kathleen Willey introduces website dedicated to Clinton scandals

Critics Trounce Hillary Clinton and Her Sexual Predator Husband

by KURT NIMMO | INFOWARS.COM | JULY 28, 2015


On Sunday Kathleen Willey rolled out a website dedicated to showcasing the scandals of Hillary Clinton.

Willey was a White House volunteer aide who told 60 Minutes in 1998 that President Clinton had sexually assaulted her in 1993 during his first term.

She later wrote “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton,” a book that accuses Hillary of enabling her sexual predator husband.

The website, titled A Scandal A Day, is calling for other victims to reveal their experiences at the hands of Clinton.

“I think it’s time for people to start coming forward,” Willey said. “I know I’m not the only one.”

“In light of what’s happened with Bill Cosby, I thought I’m going to add to that: ‘If you or any one you know has been harassed, sexually harassed, assaulted or intimidated by Bill Clinton, please send your name and email address and you can be assured that your anonymity will be ensured and it will be honored and you will be safe and we will make sure that you are safe,’” she said.

In addition to highlighting the crimes of Bill Clinton, Willey’s website will draw attention to Hillary Clinton, whom she calls “the most corrupt human being, the most corrupt politician that this nation has ever seen, man or woman.”

In May Willey said Hillary Clinton is “absolutely unqualified to run this country. Just look at something as simple as her judgment… She enabled his behavior. It’s as simple as that. She looked the other way… I don’t want that woman to be my president.”

Camille Paglia: Bill Clinton is like Bill Cosby

On Tuesday the cultural critic Camille Paglia told Salon Bill Clinton is like accused sexual predator and rapist Bill Cosby. She said the connection between Clinton and Cosby spells trouble for the Hillary campaign.

“Right from the start, when the Bill Cosby scandal surfaced, I knew it was not going to bode well for Hillary’s campaign, because young women today have a much lower threshold for tolerance of these matters,” she said. “The horrible truth is that the feminist establishment in the U.S., led by Gloria Steinem, did in fact apply a double standard to Bill Clinton’s behavior because he was a Democrat. The Democratic president and administration supported abortion rights, and therefore it didn’t matter what his personal behavior was.”

Paglia singled out “Gloria Steinem and company” for failing to protect Monica Lewinsky.

“What bigger power differential could there be than between the president of the United States and this poor innocent girl? Not only an intern but clearly a girl who had a kind of pleading, open look to her—somebody who was looking for a father figure,” she said.

In March Paglia launched into an anti-Hillary rant during and interview with Nick Gillespie of Reason TV.

“Hillary is a mess, okay? We’re going to reward with the presidency a woman who has enabled Bill Clinton; the depredations and the exploitation of women by that cornpone husband of hers?” she said.

VIDEO: OBAMA TELLS AFRICANS “I’M A PRETTY GOOD PRESIDENT… IF I RAN AGAIN, I COULD WIN” ???CAN YOU SAY DELUSIONAL???

President says he would be victorious for a third term in office
by STEVE WATSON | INFOWARS | JULY 28, 2015

In a speech to African Union leaders on Tuesday, US President Barack Obama brazenly stated “I’m a pretty good president… If I ran again, I could win.”
Obama made the remarks as a way of ridiculing African leaders who have refused to step aside at the conclusion of their terms in power.

“Now, let me be honest with you,” Obama said. “I do not understand this. I am in my second term. It has been an extraordinary privilege for me to serve as the President of the United States. I cannot imagine a greater honor or a more interesting job. I love my work. But under our Constitution, I cannot run again.”
“There’s a lot that I’d like to do to keep America moving, but the law is the law.” Obama added.
As far as a third Obama term goes, even if the Constitution were to be changed, less than half of America thinks he’s doing a good job in his second term.
And this is the higest his approval rating has been for almost two years.
The man appears to be pretty deluded.

ONE THAT WON’T MAKE HEADLINES: MAN WITH CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT PREVENTS MASS SHOOTING

Saves lives of three other people, including 1-year-old

One That Won't Make Headlines: Man With Concealed Carry Permit Prevents Mass Shooting

Image Credits: 131462800@N04, Flickr.

by STEVE WATSON | INFOWARS | JULY 28, 2015


Here’s a story that won’t make many headlines in the mainstream media, because it doesn’t neatly fit the anti-Second Amendment agenda.

An Ohio concealed carrier prevented a tragedy Sunday, as he fired upon a man who was trying to kill a woman he got into an argument with, as well as her one year old child, and innocent bystanders.

Cincinnati’s Fox19 reports that 62-year-old Thomas McCary pulled a gun on Patrick Ewing when Ewing attempted to settle a dispute between his own sister, Jeaneta Walker, and McCary.

McCary shot at Ewing three times, according to the report, prompting Ewing to pull out his own firearm, which he has under a concealed carry license.

Ewing hit McCary in the leg, but it didn’t prevent him from returning to his house and emerging with yet more firepower.

McCary, now carrying two handguns, came out firing at anyone in sight, including Ms Walker, the child, and another man in the vicinity.

Ewing again opened fire as close to McCary as he safely could, diverting his attention, and allowing the innocents to run to safety.

McCary was eventually arrested and taken to hospital where he was treated and released into police custody. He is being held without bond in Hamilton County jail on four counts of felonious assault.

Ewing is being hailed as a local hero and will almost certainly not face charges for using his weapon, as this was a case of self defense.

As The Washington Post noted this week, Americans are increasingly viewing more responsible gun owners as a solution, rather than a problem.

A recent Pew Research poll found a nine-point rise in the number of Americans who think gun ownership could “protect people from becoming victims of crime.”

The Post reported:

The post-Newtown shift was most significant among Republicans, whose support for gun ownership in the two years since the attack rose from 63 percent to 80 percent.

The poll also marked the first time in two decades of Pew surveys that more Americans supported gun rights rather than gun control (though public opinion had been shifting that way for years).

THIRD PLANNED PARENTHOOD VIDEO RELEASED: WHISTLEBLOWER REVEALS “IT’S BASICALLY A HUGE TRAFFICKING OF FETAL TISSUES”

As expected, footage shows harvesting of fetal organs and body parts

by STEVE WATSON | INFOWARS | JULY 28, 2015


WARNING: THERE IS VERY DISTURBING IMAGERY OF ABORTED FETUSES IN THE VIDEO ACCOMPANYING THIS REPORT

A third undercover expose video of Planned Parenthood has been released by the Center For Medical Progress, and as expected, it shows footage of fetal body parts after abortions.

The video features whistleblower Holly O’Donnell, who claims that a biomedical company she was working for was in the business of paying Planned Parenthood clinics for fetal organs, according to the condition of the tissue after being extracted from an abortion.

O’Donnell, a former technician for California-based Stem Express, says “The more valuable the tissue the more money you get, so if you can somehow procure a brain or a heart you’re going to get more money than just umbilical cord.”

“So I guess that’s incentive to try and get the hard stuff because they get more money.” she adds in the documentary style footage.

O’Donnell explains that she was looking for employment as a phlebotomist, simply drawing blood from patients, yet when she applied for a position with Stem Express, the company failed to explain what the role would entail.

“I thought I was going to be just drawing blood, not procuring tissue from aborted fetuses“ she says.

O’Donnell soon discovered, after landing the job, that the company hires procurement techs to “draw blood and dissect dead fetuses, and sell the parts to researchers. They partner with Planned Parenthood and they get part of the money.”

The claims, if true, blow out of the water Planned Parenthood’s repeated denial that they do not profit from selling aborted tissue and organs.

“We were asked to procure certain tissues, like brain, liver, sinus, pancreas, heart, lungs, and pretty much anything on the fetus. It’s basically a huge trafficking of fetal tissues” O’Donnell reveals.

“They weren’t looking for a compassionate individual, at all. They were just looking for someone who could get as much money, as many samples. I think that’s why they were interested in me, as a phlebotomist, cause I can draw quick… They wanted someone who could get the numbers up.” she adds, calling Stem Express “a pretty sick company.”

“Whatever we could procure, they’d get a certain percentage. The main nurse was always trying to make sure we got our specimens. She knew that Planned Parenthood was getting compensated, so she wanted to make sure that everything was going great for us” O’Donnell explains.

O’Donnell revealed that on her first day on the job, she watched people digging through aborted body parts, causing her to pass out and have to be taken to a recovery room.

The video footage also shows medical director for Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest, Katharine Sheehan, talking about procuring fetal organs with an undercover journalist again posing as a buyer for a biomedical company.

As InfoWars reported last week, Planned Parenthood, engaging in desperate damage control, preemptively notified Congress that it believed undercover journalists had footage of clinics harvesting fetal organs.

Planned Parenthood, remarkably, sidestepped any questions of the legality of this process, and accused the Center For Medical Progress of breaking the law.

Rand Paul and other Republicans are pushing for investigations into Planned Parenthood’s procedures, and to defund the “non-profit” organisation.

Planned Parenthood’s President, Cecile Richards, has described the organisation’s opponents as “militant extremists”.

Vaccines, Mercury & Dirty Money – A Message From Robert Kennedy Jr.

By Robert F. Kennedy Jr Global Research, July 27, 2015

Waking Times 24 July 2015 Region: USA Theme: Science and Medicine

big-pharma-cancer-industry-300x169

Waking Times Editors’ note: This column by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was rejected for publication by major newspapers. Mr. Kennedy published it in USA Today as a paid advertisement. Re-printed here in full.

I am pro-vaccine. I had all of my six children vaccinated. I believe that vaccines save millions of lives. So let me explain why I edited the book “Thimerosal: Let The Science Speak,” which exposes the dangerous – and wholly unnecessary – use of the mercury-based preservative thimerosal in vaccines being given to millions of children and pregnant women here and around the world.

Vaccines are big business. Pharma is a trillion-dollar industry with vaccines accounting for $25 billion in annual sales. CDC’s decision to add a vaccine to the schedule can guarantee its manufacturer millions of customers and billions in revenue with minimal advertising or marketing costs and complete immunity from lawsuits. High stakes and the seamless marriage between Big Pharma and government agencies have spawned an opaque and crooked regulatory system. Merck, one of America’s leading vaccine outfits, is currently under investigation for deceiving FDA regulators about the effectiveness of its MMR vaccine. Two whistleblowers say Merck ginned up sham studies to maintain Merck’s MMR monopoly.

Big money has fueled the exponential expansion of CDC’s vaccine schedule since 1988, when Congress’ grant of immunity from lawsuits suddenly transformed vaccines into pay dirt. CDC recommended five pediatric vaccines when I was a boy in 1954. Today’s children cannot attend school without at least 56 doses of 14 vaccines by the time they’re 18.

An insatiable pharmaceutical industry has 271 new vaccines under development in CDC’s bureaucratic pipeline in hopes of boosting vaccine revenues to $100 billion by 2025. The industry’s principle spokesperson, Dr. Paul Offit, says that he believes children can take as many as 10,000 vaccines.

Public health may not be the sole driver of CDC decisions to mandate new vaccines. Four scathing federal studies, including two by Congress, one by the U.S. Senate, and one by the HHS Inspector General, paint CDC as a cesspool of corruption, mismanagement and dysfunction with alarming conflicts of interest suborning its research, regulatory and policymaking functions. CDC rules allow vaccine industry profiteers like Dr. Offit to serve on advisory boards that add new vaccines to the schedule. In a typical example, Offit in 1999 sat on the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee and voted to add the rotavirus vaccine to CDC’s schedule, paving the way for him to make a fortune on his own rotavirus vaccine. Offit and his business partners sold the royalties to his rotavirus vaccine patent to Merck in 2006 for $182 million. Offit told Newsweek, “It was like winning the lottery!”

A 2009 HHS Inspector General’s report found that the CDC certified financial disclosure forms with at least one omission for 97 percent of committee members – and most forms had more than one type of omission. The same report stated that as many as 64 percent of committee members had potential conflicts of interest that CDC did not identify or resolve before certifying their forms. In addition to lucrative business partnerships with Merck, Offit holds a $1.5 million research chair, funded by Merck, at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia. From this industry sinecure, he broadcasts vaccine industry propaganda and annually publishes books urging unlimited vaccinations and vilifying safe-vaccine advocates.

The corruption has also poisoned CDC’s immunization safety office, the research arm that tests vaccines for safety and efficacy. In August 2014, 17-year CDC veteran Dr. William Thompson, who is author of the principal study cited by CDC to exculpate mercury-preserved vaccines from the autism link, invoked whistleblower protection, and turned extensive agency files over to Congress. Thompson, who is still employed at CDC, says that for the past decade his superiors have pressured him and his fellow scientists to lie and manipulate data about the safety of the mercury-based preservative thimerosal to conceal its causative link to a suite of brain injuries, including autism.

Thimerosal is 50 percent ethylmercury, which is far more toxic and persistent in the brain than the highly regulated methylmercury in fish. Hundreds of peer-reviewed studies by leading government and university scientists show that thimerosal is a devastating brain poison linked to neurological disorders now epidemic in American children. My book, “Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak,” is a summary of these studies, which CDC and its credulous journalists swear don’t exist. Although Thompson’s CDC and vaccine industry colleagues have created nine patently fraudulent and thoroughly discredited epidemiological studies to defend thimerosal, no published study shows thimerosal to be safe.

The common canard that U.S. autism rates rose after drug makers removed most thimerosal from pediatric vaccines in 2003 is wrong. That same year, CDC added flu shots containing massive doses of thimerosal to the pediatric schedule. As a result, children today can get nearly as much mercury exposure as children did from all pediatric vaccines combined in the decade prior to 2003. Worse, thimerosal, for the first time, is being given to pregnant women in flu shots. Furthermore, CDC’s current autism numbers are for children born in 2002, when kids were still getting thimerosal in their pediatric vaccines. The best science suggests that thimerosal’s complete removal from vaccines is likely to prompt a significant decline in autism. For example, a 2013 CDC study in JAMA Pediatrics shows a 33 percent drop in autism spectrum disorder in Denmark following the 1992 removal of thimerosal from Danish vaccines. That paper is among 37 peer-reviewed studies linking thimerosal to the autism epidemic.

Thimerosal has precipitated a journalistic as well as a public health crisis. Big Pharma pumps over $3.5 billion annually into TV, newspapers and other advertising, targeting news departments, which have become vehicles for pharmaceutical sales and propaganda platforms for the industry. Television and print outlets feature spokespeople like Dr. Offit – without identifying their industry ties – while censoring criticisms of vaccine safety and excluding the voices of informed vaccine safety advocates. Busy journalists parrot the deceptive talking points dispensed by government and pharma officials rather than reading the science themselves. Unable to argue the science, they bully, pillory and demonize vaccine safety advocates as “anti-vax,” “anti-science” and far worse. The unwillingness of the press to scrutinize CDC has emboldened both industry and agency to follow the lowest paths of easy profit and bureaucratic preservation.

The measles scare was classic disaster capitalism, with media outlets dutifully stoking public hysteria on editorial pages and throughout the 24-hour broadcast cycle. With Dr. Offit leading the charge, CDC, drug makers and industry-funded front groups parlayed a garden variety annual measles outbreak into a national tidal wave of state legislation to ban religious and philosophical vaccine exemptions. The national media frenzy over 159 measles cases left little room for attention to the the autism cataclysm which has debilitated 1 million American children since the pandemic began in 1989, with 27,000 new cases annually. CDC refuses to call autism an “epidemic.” In defiance of hard science, and common sense, CDC and Offit have launched a denial campaign to gull reporters into believing the autism plague is an illusion created by better diagnosis.

Big Pharma is among the nation’s largest political donors, giving $31 million last year to national political candidates. It spends more on political lobbying than any other industry, $3 billion from 1998 to 2014 – double the amount spent by oil and gas and four times as much as defense and aerospace lobbyists. By February, state legislators in 36 states were pushing through over 100 new laws to end philosophical and religious vaccine exemptions. Many of those state lawmakers are also on the industry payroll. You can see how much money bill sponsors from your state took from Big Pharma onhttp://www. maplight.org.

Normally plaintiffs’ tort lawyers would provide a powerful check and balance to keep vaccines safe and effective and regulators and policymakers honest. But Pharma’s dirty money has bought the industry immunity from lawsuits for vaccine injury no matter how dangerous the product. An obliging Congress disposed of the Seventh Amendment right to jury trial, making it impossible for vaccine-injured plaintiffs to sue pharmaceutical companies for selling unsafe vaccines. That’s right! No class actions. No discovery. No depositions and little financial incentive for the industry to make vaccines safer.

Vaccine industry money has neutralized virtually all of the checks and balances that once stood between a rapacious pharmaceutical industry and our children. With the research, regulatory and policymaking agencies captured, the courts closed to the public, the lawyers disarmed, the politicians on retainer and the media subverted, there is no one left to stand between a greedy industry and vulnerable children, except parents. Now Big Pharma’s game plan is to remove parental informed consent rights from that equation and force vaccine-hesitant parents to inject their children with potentially risky vaccines the Supreme Court has called “unavoidably unsafe.”

Ending exemptions is premature until we have a functioning regulatory agency and a transparent process. The best way to insure full vaccine coverage is for the vaccine program to win back public trust by ending its corrupt financial ties with a profit-making industry.

To educate yourselves about CDC corruption and the truth about vaccine science, I hope you will read “Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak” and download the important movie “Trace Amounts” and insist your legislators watch it before voting on any of these bills.

A Terrorism Expert’s Secret Relationship with the FBI

 

DOOGIE HUCKSTER

A Terrorism Expert's Secret Relationship with the FBI

 Trevor Aaronson July 27 2015, 8:25 a.m.

EVAN KOHLMANN IS the U.S. government’s go-to expert witness in terrorism prosecutions. Since 2004, Kohlmann has been asked to testify as an expert about terrorist organizations, radicalization and homegrown threats in more than 30 trials.

It’s well-paying work — as much as $400 per hour. In all, the U.S. government has paid Kohlmann and his company at least $1.4 million for testifying in trials around the country, assisting with FBI investigations and consulting with agencies ranging from the Defense Department to the Internal Revenue Service.  He has also received another benefit, Uncle Sam’s mark of credibility, which has allowed him to work for NBC News and its cable sibling, MSNBC, for more than a decade as an on-air “terrorism analyst.”

Kohlmann’s claimed expertise is his ability to explore the dark corners of the Internet — the so-called deep web, which isn’t indexed by commercial search engines — and monitor what the Islamic State, al Qaeda and their sympathizers are saying, as well as network the relationships among these various actors. Kohlmann doesn’t speak Arabic, however, and aside from a few days each in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Dubai and Qatar, has hardly any experience in the Arab world. Kohlmann’s research is gleaned primarily from the Internet.

Indeed, Kohlmann is not a traditional expert. Much of his research is not peer-reviewed. Kohlmann’s key theory, to which he has testified several times on the witness stand, involves a series of indicators that he claims determine whether someone is likely a homegrown terrorist. Yet he has never tested the theory against a randomly selected control group to account for bias or coincidence.

For these and other reasons, Kohlmann’s critics describe him as a huckster.

Kohlmann’s works are “so biased, one-sided and contextually inaccurate that they do not provide a fair and balanced context for the specific evidence to be presented at a legal hearing,” said one terrorism researcher.
In a court filing, Marc Sageman, a forensic psychiatrist and former CIA officer who has been called to the witness stand several times to discredit Kohlmann’s claims, described his testimony and reports as “so biased, one-sided and contextually inaccurate that they do not provide a fair and balanced context for the specific evidence to be presented at a legal hearing.”

In recent months, however, the small cohort of defense lawyers nationwide who battle the government in terrorism prosecutions have been asking themselves another question: What’s in the government’s mysteriously classified materials about Kohlmann?

The question began circulating last year. While representing at trial Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, of the Finsbury Park Mosque in London, New York lawyer Joshua Dratel, who has security clearances, was given classified materials about Kohlmann, a witness in the Mustafa prosecution. “It was the integrity of a prosecutor who learned of [the materials] some way,” Dratel said, crediting a single Justice Department employee for providing a rare full disclosure about Kohlmann.

Dratel has reviewed the classified materials in full, but he is prohibited from discussing their contents publicly. “It’s hard to talk about it without talkingabout it,” he said.

However, the judge in the Mustafa case allowed very limited references to the contents of the classified materials during Dratel’s cross-examination of Kohlmann — providing a clue to what the government is hiding about its star terrorism expert.

“You have done more than consulting for the FBI, correct?” Dratel asked Kohlmann.

“Correct,” Kohlmann said from the witness stand.

“You have done more than act as an expert for the government, correct?” Dratel followed.

“That’s correct, yes,” Kohlmann admitted.

That’s as far as the judge would allow.

Kohlmann and the Justice Department did not respond to repeated requests to comment for this story.

Asked if he thinks the information about Kohlmann should be classified, Dratel commented: “I think it’s unjustifiably classified now. I think the rationale for its classification is more connected to litigation, to protecting Kohlmann as a witness.”

KOHLMANN GREW UP in South Florida and attended Pine Crest School, a tony prep school with campuses in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton.

“I applied to college not really knowing what I wanted to do, but I spent summers in France — my father grew up there — and I was always interested in foreign affairs,” Kohlmann said in a 2006 profile in Penn Law Journal, titled “Terrorists Beware; Kohlmann is on the Case.”

Kohlmann studied political science at Georgetown and later law at the University of Pennsylvania, though he never took the bar exam. His steeping in terrorism studies can be credited to Steven Emerson, who founded a nonprofit think tank, the Investigative Project on Terrorism, which a young Kohlmann joined in 1998. “I started obviously as an intern, but by the time I left the Investigative Project in 2003, I was a senior analyst,” Kohlmann said in court testimony.

Prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Emerson successfully portrayed himself as a credible terrorism expert, thanks in part to his 1994 documentary, Terrorists Among Us: Jihad in America, which aired on PBS Frontline. His work at the Investigative Project on Terrorism, which he founded shortly after the airing of Terrorists Among Us, helped fuel speculation linking University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Holy Land Foundation to Hamas. In addition to Kohlmann’s, Emerson also helped launch the career of Rita Katz, who runs the SITE Intelligence Group.

“The Investigative Project was a nonprofit enterprise seeking to collect and harvest information — difficult-to-find information about the recruitment, communications, and financing of particular international terrorist organizations,” Kohlmann said in court testimony. “Then taking this information, and both in its raw form and by distilling it into unclassified memorandums, congressional testimonies, and other documents, including media … we then provided this information to a variety of different people, including, again, everyone from policymakers in Washington, DC, law enforcement, other academics, media, you name it.”

(In recent years, while Kohlmann and Katz have maintained close relationships with the U.S. government and news media, Emerson has seen his star fade due to two embarrassing Fox News appearances — one in 2013, when he claimed a U.S. government official told him that a Saudi national initially suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings was being deported on national security grounds, and another this year, when he said Birmingham, England, was “totally Muslim” and off limits to non-Muslims.)

While at the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Kohlmann wrote what would become his book, Al-Qaida’s Jihad in Europe: The Afghan-Bosnian Network. He initially submitted the manuscript to the University of Pennsylvania Press, where Sageman, who would become a chief critic of Kohlmann’s work as a government expert, was asked to serve on a peer review panel. He recommended against publishing the book. Kohlmann found a publisher in the United Kingdom, Oxford International Publishers, which had no affiliation with the University of Oxford. (Kohlmann has been asked whether he has intentionally tilted his testimony to leave the impression that his book’s publisher was linked to the prestigious university. “I did not deliberately attempt to exaggerate my credentials,” Kohlmann said in court testimony last year, countering this question.)

With his book and stint with the Investigative Project on Terrorism as credentials, Kohlmann became an expert witness for the Justice Department and a consultant for the FBI. An FBI agent described the baby-faced expert as “the Doogie Howser of Terrorism,” and a George Washington University law professor described Kohlmann to New York magazine as having been “grown hydroponically in the basement of the Bush Justice Department.”

Among Kohlmann’s earliest cases was the 2006 prosecution of Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain in Albany, New York. It was the first FBI counterterrorism sting to use Shahed Hussain, an aggressive criminal-turned-informant who was involved in the investigations of the so-called Newburgh Four — a sting involving four defendants and a plot to bomb synagogues in the Bronx and attack a nearby airport — and of Khalifah al-Akili, a botched sting operation in Pittsburgh in which the FBI informants’ covers were blown. The Albany case was a convoluted one involving a loan between Hussain, the informant, and Hossain, a local businessman who owned a pizzeria and a few rental properties. Aref, a local imam originally from Iraq, was brought in to observe the loan transaction and terms in accordance with Islamic law. The government alleged that Hossain and Aref knew the money was connected to the importation of missiles — the informant used a code word for the missiles, chaudry, the government alleged — but defense lawyers for the two men maintained that they believed the arrangement was a loan, not money-laundering for terrorists.

To support charges that the pair was involved in terrorism, the government used the transcript of a recording between Hossain, the pizzeria owner who was originally from Bangladesh, and the FBI informant. “We are members of Jamaat-e-Islami,” Hossain said in the recording.

The government initially claimed that Jamaat-e-Islami, a political party in Bangladesh, was linked to terrorism through a proxy organization, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen. Rohan Gunaratna, a terrorism scholar at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, was originally going to testify to this connection as an expert. But the government instead brought in Kohlmann.

Kevin A. Luibrand, a lawyer for Hossain, challenged Kohlmann’s knowledge as an expert.

“Can you name any of the major political parties in Bangladesh from the year 2000 to 2004?” Luibrand asked Kohlmann in a deposition.

“Other than Jamaat-e-Islami?” Kohlmann asked.

“Yes.”

“That’s — I’m not familiar off the top of my head,” Kohlmann said.

“Have you ever heard of an organization known as the Bangladesh National Party?” Luibrand followed.

“Vaguely.”

“Do you know what it is?”

“I’m assuming it’s a political party, but again — the name vaguely sounds familiar but …” Kohlmann answered.

“Do you know what, if anything, it stands for politically within Bangladesh?” Luibrand asked, cutting off Kohlmann’s answer.

“Sorry, can’t tell ya,” Kohlmann said.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party, to which Luibrand was referring, is one of the two largest political parties in Bangladesh and allied with Jamaat-e-Islami.

“You can’t tell me because you don’t know?” Luibrand asked Kohlmann in a follow-up question.

“I don’t know off the top of my head,” Kohlmann said.

Kohlmann also admitted in the deposition that he had never written about Jamaat-e-Islami of Bangladesh. Luibrand asked to have Kohlmann disqualified as an expert, arguing that Kohlmann was unable to demonstrate knowledge of the groups he was testifying about. A judge denied the request and allowed Kohlmann to testify. Aref and Hossain were convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

From there, Kohlmann’s career as a government witness skyrocketed. In all, he has testified in more than 30 trials, including the trial of the Fort Dix Five, a group of men who allegedly planned to attack a U.S. military base in New Jersey; of medical doctor Rafiq Abdus Sabir, who was caught in a sting swearing allegiance to al Qaeda; and of Mohamed Osman Mohamud, who plotted with undercover FBI agents to bomb a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon. Among more recent court appearances, Kohlmann testified in the Tampa, Florida, trial of Sami Osmakac, a counterterrorism sting target FBI agents described privately as a “retarded fool” whose targets for an attack were “wishy-washy.”

At the same time, Kohlmann has amassed what he has described as seven terabytes of information related to terrorism and illicit activity. He has described the database as proprietary, and he’s never been asked to turn it over as part of his expert testimony. He also leverages it, according to court testimony, to provide information and services to private sector clients; as of 2014, working for the government represented only about 40 percent of Kohlmann’s income.

Sageman, one of Kohlmann’s harshest critics, alleges that the use of this database in trial testimony and expert reports lacks transparency and makes it difficult, if not impossible, to challenge his conclusions. “He uses the appearance of scholarship, such as footnote references, but is extremely selective in his references basing them not on actual scholarly work, but on anecdotes from obscure references that he often has privileged access to, preventing other scholars from checking the context of the reference,” Sageman wrote in a court report.

Sageman also alleged in the same report that Kohlmann views his expert testimony not as well-researched and settled science to be discussed honestly at trial, but as a kind of information clay to be molded for the prosecution’s benefit. Referring to a conversation he had with Kohlmann over lunch, Sageman wrote: “He selects what is most supportive for the side that retains him. Indeed, he told me so at one time when I challenged him about his testimony in the [Hammad] Khurshid case in Copenhagen, because he had neglected to mention important facts under oath. He justified his one-sidedness by saying that it was an adversarial process and it was up to the defense attorneys to cross examine him.”

Among the topics Kohlmann often testifies to is his theory of homegrown terrorists — a series of indicators showing that a disillusioned individual living in the United States likely has stepped over the line to become a terrorist. He has testified that the indicators include choosing a scheme to travel abroad to fight or launch an attack in the United States; acquiring training material and propaganda from the Internet or elsewhere; adherence to an extreme ideology, particularly radical Islam; using “logistical subterfuge” by, for example, encrypting electronic communications or taking indirect routes when traveling; and attempts to contact like-minded individuals. “Not every case necessarily has one of these or all of these, but you do tend to see these factors pop up again and again,” Kohlmann testified in a 2011 hearing in the case of the so-called Triangle Terror Group in North Carolina. “And these tend to be the most definitive factors leading to judge whether something is, indeed, a valid home-grown terrorist or home-grown extremist network or violent extremist network.”

However, the number of indicators in Kohlmann’s theory appears to be malleable, depending on the case. In the North Carolina trial, he testified to five factors. Two years later, in court testimony in the 2013 case of Mohamed Osman Mohamud in Portland, Oregon, Kohlmann listed six factors. In a hearing in the Triangle Terror Group case, Kohlmann conceded that his terrorism indicators, and his methodology in general, are not supported by any statistical analysis that would prove their veracity.

“You go through marriage, camouflage, dressing or what someone wears, the use of guns or paint-balling and training, propaganda and travel and draw certain conclusions from that, correct?” asked defense lawyer James M. Ayers III.

“That’s correct, yes,” Kohlmann answered.

“Now, you have done no statistical studies as to what percent of the population that engages in these various activities are terrorists or not, correct?” Ayers followed.

“No, that’s correct,” Kohlmann said, adding later that he did not believe numerical statistics were applicable to studying homegrown terrorism because of the infrequency of cases.

And it’s not just that Kohlmann chooses not to subject his theory to rigorous testing; he doesn’t seem know much about social science research at all. In a July 2014 hearing in the case of Ralph Deleon, a citizen of the Philippines, and Sohiel Omar Kabir, an Afghanistan-born U.S. citizen — who along with two others were swept up in an informant-led counterterrorism sting — defense lawyer Angela Viramontes quizzed Kohlmann on commonly used terms in the social sciences.

“What is your understanding of an attribute in social science research?” Viramontes asked Kohlmann.

“I don’t understand the question, Your Honor,” Kohlmann said, turning to the judge.

“I think the question speaks for itself. If you don’t know the answer, you don’t know,” Viramontes followed.

“I don’t know the answer,” Kohlmann said.

THE PRIMARY CRITICISM of Kohlmann’s work is that his knowledge about terrorist groups and purported expertise are based primarily on Internet research. The other concern is a question of impartiality, and how much information from the deep web Kohlmann may be giving the FBI for investigations.

Yet the U.S. Department of Justice continues to employ Kohlmann as an expert witness. Most recently, he was proposed as an expert in the prosecution of Agron Hasbajrami, an Albanian citizen who pleaded guilty on June 26 in New York to attempting and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists, before Kohlmann could testify in his trial.

In other cases, Kohlmann has testified to the fact that he has assisted the FBI with investigations — but it’s unclear how far Kohlmann’s work crosses the line from independent expert and consultant to paid criminal investigator for the FBI. That’s why, among defense lawyers in terrorism cases, there’s a lot of interest in what the government is hiding in classified materials about Kohlmann.

These lawyers started swapping information in earnest last year, when Joshua Dratel provided a signed declaration to the lawyers representing Deleon and Kabir in Southern California. “It is my opinion that review of the classified materials is essential to any cross-examination of Evan Kohlmann, whom the government has apparently proposed as its expert witness in theKabir prosecution,” Dratel wrote. “It is also my opinion that the classified materials are extraordinarily material to such cross-examination; indeed, I do not believe there could be more material information.”

Jeffrey Aaron, who represented Kabir, asked the judge to force the government to provide the classified materials on Kohlmann. “We felt that he didn’t seem like a legitimate academic expert to us,” Aaron said. “He seemed like an advocate, and it seemed to us that he was a witness who would always find a way to support the government’s case. We suspect that the material under top-secret protection probably dealt with him cooperating with the FBI or being a quasi-government agent. And honestly, we thought that was very disturbing.”

The judge in the Kabir case, Virginia A. Phillips, refused to give defense lawyers access to the classified materials — but she did hint at their contents in her written ruling: “The materials requested by the defendants to be produced in discovery relate to work on other investigations performed by Evan Kohlmann for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (‘FBI’) and do not address the facts of this case or the conduct of the defendants.”

When Dratel was given access to the classified materials on Kohlmann, and offered a limited opportunity to question him about them on the witness stand during the Mustafa case, he appeared to push Kohlmann to disclose the information — offering even more hints about what might be in the classified materials.

“You testified in a case called United States v. Mehanna?” Dratel asked Kohlmann in the hearing last year.

“Yes,” Kohlmann answered.

Tarek Mehanna was a Massachusetts man who, in a case widely criticized by civil libertarians, was convicted of charges that included providing material support to terrorists because he translated radical Arabic texts into English for a website — the type of activity Kohlmann monitors as a part of his business.

“In that case, in preparing for that case, or at any time during that case, did you inform the prosecutors in that case of your precise relationship with the FBI?” Dratel continued.

“I don’t know what you mean by ‘precise,’ but the prosecutors in that case I had worked with on a previous case, and they were fully aware of the nature of my work with the FBI,” Kohlmann answered.

“No, the precise nature of your relationship with the FBI,” Dratel said, speaking cryptically due to the classified material and the limits the judge had placed on his questions.

“Objection, your Honor,” the prosecutor interrupted.

“Did you inform them?” Dratel asked Kohlmann.

“Sustained,” said U.S. District Court Judge Katherine B. Forrest. “Asked and answered.”

Dratel couldn’t go any further.

And Kohlmann didn’t actually answer the question.
