A Simple, Primary Fact Concerning Able Danger

Executive Order 12333 Places Final Authority with the President of the United States

By Sean Osborne, Senior Analyst & Military Affairs Expert

15 August 2005: On Friday, 11 August 2005, I outlined where the final legal authority rested that was in effect when the highly-classified US Special Operations Command Project Able Danger military intelligence team attempted to get its intelligence findings about Mohamed Atta and his al Qaeda terrorist cell in the U.S. to the FBI. It was not with the lawyers from the Department of Defense or with the Department of Justice. The defining legal authority of this entire affair DID NOT LEGALLY RESIDE with the reported Department of Justice lawyers who actually prevented that exchange of data. Accordingly, the road block and redirection were patently illegal - but few appear to be getting the very simple but most important point.

ALL US Department of Defense intelligence activities are conducted as specifically mandated per Executive Order 12333, signed by President Ronald Reagan on 4 December 1981. All authority for the conduct of military intelligence operations in conjunction with other federal law enforcement agencies and bureaus resides and has resided since that time with the President of the United States, who is the military Commander-In-Chief as well as the chief constitutional law enforcement officer of the land. The direction found in this Executive Order is completely unambiguous and has remained in effect for the past 19 years. The order is directed to the Directors of US Central Intelligence, the FBI, NSA, NRO, DIA and the US Secretary of Defense, and to all branches of American military intelligence, and has encompassed every administration since the Reagan Administration, including the 8-year tenure of William Jefferson Clinton.

It is just that simple.

Details of E.O. 12333 can be found here.

Specifically, as found section 1.11, line items (d), (f) and (k) Presidential Executive Order 12333 gives direction to the Secretary of Defense as follows:

(d) Conduct counterintelligence activities in support of Department of Defense components outside the United States in coordination with the CIA, and within the United States in coordination with the FBI pursuant to procedures agreed upon by the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General;

(f) Provide for the timely transmission of critical intelligence, as defined by the Director of Central Intelligence, within the United States Government;

(k) Conduct such administrative and technical support activities within and outside the United States as are necessary to perform the functions described in sections (a) through (j) above.

Section 1.12, line item (d) states the following:

The foreign intelligence and counterintelligence elements of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps,

Whose responsibilities shall include: (1) Collection, production and dissemination of military and military-related foreign intelligence and counterintelligence, and information on the foreign aspects of narcotics production and trafficking. When collection is conducted in response to national foreign intelligence requirements, it will be conducted in accordance with guidance from the Director of Central Intelligence. Collection of national foreign intelligence, not otherwise obtainable, outside the United States shall be coordinated with the CIA, and such collection within the United States shall be coordinated with the FBI;

Additionally, EO 12333 concludes with the following:

Agencies within the Intelligence Community are authorized to:

(b) Unless otherwise precluded by law or this Order, participate in law enforcement activities to investigate or prevent clandestine intelligence activities by foreign powers, or international terrorist or narcotics activities;

Finally we come to the strawman legal argument which came from the “administration lawyers” as related by Congressman Weldon regarding the possession of “green cards”. The facts are these: Mohammed Atta and his terrorist cohorts were clearly and factually established as Al-Qaeda functionaries of a foreign government [Taliban of Afghanistan] with Al-Qaeda itself being a Designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (DFTO). Designated terrorist’s do not receive and retain "green card" status, and any card so previously attained would have to be considered a priori fraudulent, null and void.

These are the salient facts regarding the intelligence collected by “Able Danger”. What remains is the also overlooked Congressional oversight of intelligence activities as delineated in EO 12333. The now defunct blue-ribbon 9/11 Commission having dropped the ball once is excused from further inquiry, and we call for a full-scale Congressional investigation which must reveal the truth of the matter to the American people. This is what we taxpayers pay them to do. It what our tax dollars paid “Able Danger” to do, and what EO-12333 signed by President Ronald Reagan in December 1981 directed them to do on our behalf.

Anything less is a white-wash, a cover-up and professionally incompetent.

“Able Danger”: The American People Should Demand Answers

Questions of Legal Issues, Intelligence Oversight and Sharing of Collected Intelligence from US SOCOM that ARE NOT being asked

By Sean Osborne, Senior Analyst & Military Affairs Expert

11 August 2005: As we reported yesterday, Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA) delivered to his peers in Congress on 27 June, 2005 revelations and evidence gained by a secret military intelligence entity, Code Name: “Able Danger” a full year prior to the events of September 11, 2001. (See article below). According to Congressman Weldon, and as reported by FoxNews yesterday, "Lawyers within the administration — and we're talking about the Clinton administration, not the Bush administration — said 'you can't do it'" when referencing the “taking out” of a known terrorist cell that would be the main component of the 9/11 attacks. These “lawyers” then placed 3M Post-It brand stickers over Mohammed Atta's face. In my professional opinion, the words and actions taken by these lawyers were the beginning of a literal, real-world cover-up which would result in the deaths of 2,819 innocent human beings.

This situation begs for Congressional inquiry into exactly who these lawyers are- their names, where are they today and additionally, where is the evidence of any legal oversight of their actions - which appear to be demonstrably illegal, incompetent, negligent and possibly conducted with the highest degree of malfeasance.. Furthermore, additional questions for a Congressional inquiry are: (1) under whose specific direction did they act, and (2) under what legal authority did they act? In general, why did they NOT share information with our intelligence agencies to allow Atta and his fellow terrorists to be stopped when there was ample legal ability to do so?

There is a very salient and critical point virtually every reporting media outlet has been remiss in identifying regarding intelligence collection activities by the United States Department of Defense. It is this: ALL US Department of Defense intelligence activities, just like US SOCOM's "Able Danger," ARE NOT derived from, emanate from or promulgated by US law and Congressional legislation. They arise specifically from Executive Order 12333 (signed by President Ronald Reagan on December 4, 1981) and all the authority resides and has resided since that time with the President of the United States who is the military Commander-In-Chief as well as the chief constitutional law enforcement officer of the land.

And a bit from those lovely coons in the "Nation OF Islam"(spit)

5 August 2005: As the tenth anniversary of the Half-Million (or so) Man March approaches, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is going to try it again this October, according to remarks he made at Mercy Memorial Baptist Church in Milwaukee yesterday. Milwaukee is the first of several cities Farrakhan is planning to visit to promote the Millions More Movement, scheduled for October in Washington. He described the former and upcoming march as a unifying event for men of all, well at least some faiths and backgrounds. Under the color of this unification, however, Farrakhan is promoting divisiveness and cultivating hatred. In a blatantly racist statement made by Farrakhan yesterday, he called on blacks to provide goods and services within their communities “instead of giving their money to merchants of different races.” Simply stated, not much has changed with Farrakhan, who subtly blamed American foreign policy for the 9/11 attacks while the twin towers were still smoldering. The danger posed by the Nation of Islam (and all other branches, such as the Lost Found Nation of Islam, the Five Percent Nation of Islam, and the Ansaaru Allah Community) is how it attracts disenfranchised young black people in America, converts them into followers of Islam who traditionally turn against the U.S. Therefore, it should not surprise anyone that DC beltway sniper John Allen Muhammad, a black man who converted to Islam about 20 years ago, provided security for Louis Farrakhan's "Million Man March" in 1995, or that the Nation of Islam web site publishes articles by such stellar people as convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. It is important to note that The Nation of Islam and “traditional” Islam are two distinctly different “religions” although share some commonalities, including their goal to ultimately take over the United States; Islam by a war of pure religious ideology and the NOI by inciting and advocating racial divisiveness. The tenants Elijah Muhammad espoused by the Nation of Islam teaches that blacks are morally and spiritually superior to whites, and believe that if blacks convert to the Nation of Islam, they will eventually destroy whites, who are described as “devils.” The History of The Nation of Islam The Nation of Islam (NOI), also called “Black Muslims,” was founded in Detroit, Michigan sometime around 1930. Its founder, Wallace FARD was an ex-felon and noted con-man who preached black supremacy and hatred of whites who he described as “blue-eyed devils.” Eventually, FARD announced that he was the “Supreme Ruler of the Universe,” but disappeared after making that announcement. Although his disappearance remains a mystery, it is commonly believed that FARD was murdered. This theory was advanced by statements made by his assistant Elijah POOLE, who told followers that “the Master” (FARD) had gone to “meet Allah.” According to POOLE, FARD’S last act was to appoint him his successor. POOLE then changed his name to Elijah Muhammad and moved the cult to Chicago. He continued FARD’S antagonism against whites, calling all white people an “evil mutation” created by a mad scientist named “Yakob.” During the 1960’s, Malcolm X, a member of the Nation of Islam and once a follower of Elijah Mohammad, visited the Middle East and met members of “traditional” Islam. The bizarre tenets of the NOI theology caused Malcom X to criticize and break away from the NOI. As a result, he was assassinated in New York in 1965. Following his assassination, Elijah MUHAMMAD claimed himself “the true prophet” and wanted a separate state within the U.S. for black people only. MUHAMMAD led the Nation of Islam until his death in 1975 and continues to be revered by the NOI. Wallace MUHAMMAD, one of the elder Muhammad's sons, succeeded him and adopted the tenets of traditional Islam. He named the sect the American Muslim Mission, taking the majority of the Nation of Islam followers with him. He ultimately resigned, stating that the “imams” who operated the group's mosques lacked the proper education in Islam. Enter Louis Farrakhan, 72, who was a high-ranking follower of Elijah Muhammad, who took control over the NOI after Wallace Muhammad broke away. FARRAKHAN, a former calypso singer known as “The Charmer,” was born Louis Walcott in 1933 and joined the Nation of Islam in 1955, proclaiming that he would “dedicate [his] life to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.” Farrakhan ultimately became the leader of the large mosque in Harlem, New York in 1965, just a few months after the murder of Malcolm X. There have been unsubstantiated allegations that Farrakhan played a role in the assassination of Malcolm X, but no charges were ever filed. Farrakhan has a long history of making strong anti-Semitic remarks, called the U.S. and the UK “evil” for giving aid to Israel, a country he described as “a criminal conspiracy” built on “injustice, thievery, lying and deceit.” In a speech in June 1984, Farrakhan also called Judaism a “dirty religion.” Essentially, what Elijah Muhammad taught as the Black Muslim theology has not changed: American blacks are members of the Tribe of Shabazz from the Lost Nation of Asia. The black race is “as perfect as God himself” and inhabited the earth for 66 trillion years until about 4,700 BC when a black scientist named “Yakob” was able to produce the mutant “white devils,” a race which is physically weak and totally evil. The Nation of Islam teaches that white people are enjoying a few years of “grace” on borrowed time until the black man rises up and clears them from the earth. In 1995, Louis Farrakhan mentioned that he had been “kidnapped” by space aliens and had orbited earth in a giant spacecraft. He also said he had often communicated with Elijah Muhammad after his death and that Muhammad is himself riding in perpetuity in a similar spacecraft. Interestingly, Elijah's widow Minister Tynetta Muhammad, a popular NOI “numerologist,” predicted that 2001 would be Armageddon, the end of the earth, for the white race. She also stated that UFOs were seen around the World Trade Center after the attack on September 11, 2001. Writing in the Black Muslim newspaper Final Call, Robert Muhammad, another NOI follower, said that Wallace FARD spoke of “a giant wheel-like plane that contained 1,500 smaller planes built by the finest brains.” According to Muhammad, they were designed to destroy the white man's world.
