ORLANDO SHOOTING DAD A LONGTIME CIA ASSET

The father of the man who slaughtered 50 people in the Orlando nightclub shooting Saturday night is a longtime CIA asset, whose TV show receives funding from the Voice of America -Dari.   Pictured below is Seddique Mateen with California Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher

Rohrabacher was initially elected to Congress in 1988, with the fundraising help of friend Oliver North.  Rohrabacher’s decades-long involvement in “all things Afghan” eventually earned him the nickname “Gunga Dana.” Today he chairs the United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats.

This morning President Obama called him a “home-grown” terrorist.  In a series of phone interviews Monday morning, Donald Trump responded that  “there’s something going on” with the President’s  reaction to the Orlando shooting.

I guess even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

 

“It’s like calling Blackwater XE”

Orlando shooter Omar Mateen’s father said  his son was not motivated by Islamist radical ideology, but in a Facebook video posted early Monday he said, “God himself will punish those involved in homosexuality.”

My own suspicion was first awakened on Monday morning when U.S. news outlets uniformly reported that the father’s TV show aired on  “a U.S.-based Afghan satellite channel.”

safe_imageThat sort of circumlocution is typical when something is being hidden which the corporate media prefers we not ask questions about.

The name of the nameless Afghan satellite channel, Payam Afghan, is said to be widely-known in Southwest Asia as a CIA-Pakistani ISI construct, as this picture from Flicker shows.

The identification of shooter Omar Mateen also involved deception. He was said to work for a security company called G4S, which few have ever heard of. However, “G4S” is merely a re-branded “Wackenhut Corporation,” a name with a storied reputation for scandal in the U.S. and around the world.

Rohrabacher has stated that he sees radical Islam as the source of a major terrorist threat to the U.S. Calls to his office today to request comment on whether he views CIA assets relocated in the U.S. as a terrorist threat have not been returned.

  1. Read the book Crossfire (recently updated) — about the Kennedy assassination and how the CIA staged the whole thing — by Jim Marrs. My impression is that there are “powers that be” that are only interested in protecting their ability to amass fortunes, and will readily overlook “collateral damage” as long as that damage does not interfere with their ability to make money.

  2. The mixture of an authoritarian personality with the jet-fuel of conflicted sexuality and the daily horror-show from Iraq/Afghanistan -does- offer a reasonable narrative to explain these attacks. Most explanations for violent crimes enviably end up taking us to the revenge fantasies of damaged male psyches.

    But as the Tsarnaev’s ‘Uncle Ruslan’ shows (and the brothers’ university prof with CIA connections), we should not rule-out possible intelligence aspects in these cases and I’m glad Hopsicker is working this angle. From here to election day, every act of ‘domestic terrorism’ has the potential of an ‘October Surprise’ as all side look to weaponize the issue to their advantage.

    Every time I seriously dig into a US ‘conspiracy’ case I end up in some right-wing ex-pat community: White Russian, Cuban exiles, Koreans, Chechens, Ukrainians, ect… All these groups have clear intelligence connections because they were the front-line in America’s global war against Communism and were recruited as such. The Cold War eventually made America a melting pot for some of the most reactionary people on the planet as intelligence assets bought homes in Florida, Chicago and Virgina to raise families.

    My condolences to all those involved in the crime and my encouragement to Hopsicker in exploring this topic.

  3. apparently, this guy Marcus Robertson is connected to Mateen, if you really want to jump down a rabbit hole:

    “It is no coincidence that this happened in Orlando,” said a law enforcement source familiar with Robertson’s history of recruiting terrorists and inciting violence. “Mateen was enrolled in [Robertson’s online] Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary.”

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/06/12/orlando-gunman-tied-to-radical-imam-released-from-prison-last-year-say-law-enforcement-sources.html

    “Robertson claims to have served in the elite counter-terrorism unit Joint Special Operations Command before leaving the military as a conscientious objector. A spokeswoman for the National Archives confirmed his service from May 16, 1986 to May 1994, in the U.S. Marine Corps 2nd Force Reconnaissance Company as a field radio operator, but records indicate he was released from active duty in March 1990, discharged in the rank of corporal. Records show he was trained in radio telegraph, scuba diving, marksmanship, parachuting, terrorism counteraction, surveillance, infantry patrolling and finance.

    and here’s a PI’s blog in Florida where he has the claims from Robertson that he was a “Covert Operator” for the CIA/FBI

    https://pibillwarner.wordpress.com/category/imam-abu-taubah-aka-marcus-dwayne-robertson/

    “Ex-Marine Marcus Robertson aka Imam Abu Taubah claims he had a contract with the United States Government in which he was asked to carry out covert operations with and against suspected and known terrorists organizations/groups. During said operations, in the USA and Internationally, the US Government, the FBI and the CIA authorized and assisted Marcus Robertson aka Imam Abu Taubah in the use of firearms, weapons, training of terror suspects by providing various forms of logistics, informations and Monies.
    Furthermore Abu Taubah aka Marcus Robertson claims he was given a Letter of Immunity” assured that no criminal charges would ever be derived due to Abu Taubah aka Marcus Robertson’s “sanctioned actions” and promised that the US government would duly note Abu Taubah aka Marcus Robertson’s patriotic service. Abu Taubah also claims in the Federal Lawsuit that the defendants (FBI et al) full well knew that his only links to terrorism were those that occurred during Abu Taubah aka Marcus Robertson’s employment as a covert operator for the US Government and the FBI Terrorist Task Force.”

    – Former U.S. Marine [Force Recon – claimed JSOC as well]
    – Claimed to be a “secret CIA operative” [went undercover for FBI in return for reduced sentence]
    – Served as the bodyguard for Omar Abdel Rahman also known as the Blind Sheik

They were known to use C4, hand grenades, and other explosive devices.
    – Opened Timbuktu Seminary (an Islamic school in Orlando)
    – Released from prison one year ago. Jailed for illegal weapons charges and tax fraud. Federal prosecutors tried to add additional terrorism charges but failed to make their case in court. He is known by federal law enforcement to influence others to carry out terrorist attacks
