I've made the big time on FreeRepublic
Edited on Fri May-01-09 06:38 PM by formercia
They have me spending a year and a half in a mental institution.

I didn't know physical rehab is now considered being in a mental institution.

More choice tidbits:

Interesting. Interesting also that DUmmie "formercia" misstates the timing of the mining of Nicaragua's harbors. From a post of his copied on your link: "I was one of the CIA Officers that worked on the mining of the harbors in Nicaragua program. In January of 1982, I notified my superiors that I felt the program was illegal. Apparently, Poppy took great offense to this."

You'll see at The Consortium that the idea of the mining venture didn't come about until January 1984. And it was in 1984, according to other sources, that Congress became up in arms about their being left out of the picture.

It seems odd to me that someone with so much animosity toward the CIA and a former administration would be so specific about a date ("January of 1982") yet get it so wrong.


--snip--

Actually, the project began in the fall of 1981. I know because I was there. sorry, assholes.

The mines were not dropped until the Spring of 1984. That's where they're confused.

2. Freepers confused? No way!

According to freepers, everything starts and ends in the same day and in a vacuum.

That's why they blame Obama for the DHS report about extremist groups.

It's part of the binary, black/white mental disorder. They really seem to only able to process 2 dimensions, no such thing as change over time.

Obsessive, snoopy, stalking behavior is really loser-ish.
I'm pleased that no one on DU stoops to that level.

20. They just choose whatever time-line suits their argument.
If they had to sit down and actually do some scholarly research, trying to actually absorb the facts and have them conflict with their preconceived fantasies might just cause a psychotic break, or as some have referred to as"their heads exploding."

34. The project was shelved temporarily
It was only one project of many. I had transferred back to DC but was recalled back to reactivate the project when Operations decided to go ahead and deploy the mines. Operations knew of my objections to the project but I was the only one who knew the internal workings to complete the wiring assemblies and arm the mines. They could have briefed someone else but that would have taken too long.
I went to my Division chief at the time and expressed my concerns over what they were about to do. He suggested that I speak to the Inspector General and made arrangements for me to do so.

40. That asshat isn't the REAL Frank Solich (Neb coach), right? Isn't he the one using Solich's name
who also smeared Andy as lying about his medical condition?

The REAL Frankie Solich wouldn't betray his Holy Name upbringing to lie a dying man into an early grave. Holy Namers were brought up to be generous to the needy and to extend a hand to the outcast and the ill.

That evil asshat on FR can't POSSIBLY be the REAL Frankie Solich.

It delayed the surgery he needed desperately by a few days when PayPal wouldn't release the funds.

45. He was a leader of a campaign
to harass Andy and those who were helping him. They threw a monkey wrench into the Paypal account that was set up to help pay for his surgery. The surgery had to be delayed because the account was temporarily frozen, IIRC. They also made wild, awful accusations about him when he was in a precarious medical situation.

Nothing like kicking a dying man when he's down, eh?

52. I've read some of formerica's...
...comments and his story.

I don't know whether or not his story is true. However, neither do you
or all of the other people snickering like sorority girls.

Your absolute certainty is a bit absurd, don't you think?

What is so outlandish, anyway? The Bush crime family has no problem
murdering our troops or more than one million innocent Iraqis and lying
to every U.S. citizen about their intentions.

Are you actually going to suggest that this same crime syndicate would never, ever
do something as horrific as doling out some payback to a government official who
spoke out against their deeds? Are we talking about the same people who worked
endless hours, to ensure that they would be able to torture human beings without
any accountability?

Oh please.

It's entirely possible.

63. It's true
When it began, there was no Internet or any way to share my experiences with others. Since then, I have met 2 other people who had similar experiences to mine. One was former CIA and the other had a long career in the FBI before getting into a confrontation with those who were trying to take over this Country by extra-legal means.
As time goes on and those who were persecuted by Bush Gang feel safe, they will begin to come forward and tell their stories.

5. The cornered beast always expresses its true nature.

When times were good, they could put on a pretty face and lie at will, knowing that they were in control and that anyone who dared say that "the king hath no clothes", could be ridiculed, discredited with more lies and banished to the fringes of society.




You could imagine them a shill in a perverted version of Abbott and Costello.

Are you actually suggesting that the same Bush crime syndicate that tortured in secret prisons
and murdered our soldiers and millions of Iraqis--is absolutely and totally incapable of
engaging in a little retaliation against someone who spoke out against them?

Your reaction is a bit over the top, don't you think?

I can see where someone might wonder if the OP's words are true. It's a valid point to
question what someone writes on a messageboard.

However, we routinely discuss the evil actions of Dick Cheney, Richard Armitage, Donald
Rumsfeld, the Bush family and the rest of the neocons.

I'm not understanding where you find such hilarity--when it's common knowledge that this
is how these people operate.

Healthy skepticism...fine. Knee-slapping guffawing, designed to demean someone...kinda weird.

103. You have a reading comprehension problem...
...and I'm going to attribute that to a lack of real-world experience.

I said repeatedly, that I have no stake in this. I don't know if the OP is telling
the truth. But the fact remains...neither do you.

You can guess. You can laugh and make your little laugh-on-the-floor guys. You
can even insult me.

You don't know whether or not the OP's assertions are correct. You don't know, and
I don't either.

But then again, I'm not the one following the OP around DU, like a stalker--insisting that
I am the bearer of ultimate truth, by being royally obnoxious and infantile.

I don't expect many people to believe me. I'm just hoping that someone with the clearances and full access to the archives, will do some research and set the record straight. History goes to the victor, as the old saying goes. This Country deserves a true record of events.

What everyone else believes is neither here nor there. It's just idle chit-chat.

51. They've discovered this post: "formercia just LOVES the attention:"
And they seem to LOVE being humiliated.

"Simple Google searches" don't tell you the WHOLE story, assholes.

64. It also means that any falsehoods they spew must be refuted
lest they be repeated often enough for them to become 'fact' in the reich-wing universe.

people ignored the dangers of the BFEE for too long, and look where we are now.

59. I suspect that your story is true.
Edited on Sat May-02-09 06:05 PM by Maat
I worked for General Dynamics in SoCal about the same time, and let's just say I have an idea of some companion activities that took place around the globe.

It breaks my heard that I pay for these things as a taxpayer.

Enough! I no longer want to pay for the CIA ("operations," "paramilitary"). I want to pay for education, social security, healthcare for every American resident, and the like. I don't want to pay for empire, or over 750 bases around the world (or whatever).

The Ultra-rich can pay for their empire out of their own pockets.

61. If Carter had been re-elected, they would have ceased to exist.
The head of Ops at the time took a very dim view of their activities and ordered a lot of their more controversial capabilities destroyed. When Poppy became VP, things did a complete turn-around, and by the fall of 1981, their funding had increased tremendously.

Perhaps this would be a good time for the Obama Administration to review this subject and hopefully put an end to it.If an operation can't stand the light of day, then this Country should not be engaging in those activities and training people to carry them out.

77. I sure as hell want to pay for a CIA.
But a competent CIA. A well-managed CIA. A CIA that is truly watching out for real threats against us, not causing more problems than they solve. We haven't had that kind of CIA for more than 50 years.

92. After that nonsense you posted, it only fits the pattern that you're surprised
to see anything but this kind of reaction.

96. It's not nonsense and I'm surprised to hear that coming from you.
You're entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong.
