I'm not sure what you are referring to. A 'psyop' being carried out against the Western world? Aimed at regime change in Iran… you mean like by the CIA, MI6 or whatever?

And, if that is what you mean, are you then implying her murder was faked or that someone other than a member of the Basij pulled the trigger?

Is there any evidence for any of this? The psyop or something suspicious? Unless you know of some evidence of something, then I would have to say, no, I don't have any "suspicions".

Was it convenient? Well… I guess coincidence and convenience tend to be a matter of perspective. We can sit here all day and spin up all sorts of theories built on suppositions based on something we imagine might be… I suppose.

Just a couple of random thoughts in general. I seem to recall that during the 2008 Presidential run, Dr. Paul said in a debate that we spent over $40 billion on intelligence gathering, and this was before the Dept of Homeland Insecurity was created. So, spending more will make us, what?

And my other thought was from a conference I attended back in 2007 in which one of the speakers, (Sheldon Richman, who is assoicated with the Foundation for Economic Education) said that despite on the talk of "making Americans safe", this government couldn't even protect the building that is responsible for national defense.
Just some wondering thoughts.

"That said, I did receive an anonymous message a few days after I posted my first comment here (in which I basically told Sibel how attractive I thought she was )suggesting I not "allow infatuation to affect my judgement or actions".

I have recently applied for a job that requires a security clearance.

Make of it what you will."

Overzealous background investigator being paid by the hour vs. Husband warning against some guy hitting on his wife. Pick em.

The incident in question occurred almost three years ago. (I wouldn't characterize it as being unusual or out of the "ordinary", in any case.) And, I only came across this website a couple of months ago. So, I'd have to say "no", there is no connection between the two.

Then again, re-posting the video of the murder of Neda Agha Soltan on my blog and spewing ideas like "Iranians are not our enemy" then suggesting that, er… "someone" should "do something" would probably be enough to attract some attention from certain quarters these days anyway. Who knows. I'm not a rabble rouser and don't intend to become one. But I believe I should be able to show appreciation for what Sibel is trying to do… like uphold the law equally for everyone. How is that a bad thing?

I'd guess you never wanted to be my hero (and maybe nobody's hero outside of your family).

Thank you for being you!

Schakowsky + Celebi + $6000 = HA!

Why am I not surprised?

You remind me of an article by Chris Deliso that I came across while writing the Rendon post. Deliso mentions Ruder Finn in passing, while talking about Rendon's adventures in the Balkans.

Deliso also has a book about the region that's worth a read: The Coming Balkan Caliphate.

The webcams are for automated biometric facial recognition/comparison. Not sure if it is at all points of entry or if it is standard op.

It's been almost three years since the last time I traveled outside the country and I don't recall it being that bad then. However, I do recall that I was held at customs for what seemed an inordinate amount of time while the uniformed agent checking my US passport back into the country asked me a string of seemingly ridiculous questions (what do you do for a living, where do you work, are you in the union, who did you visit and what were you doing where you just came from, etc.???). Wait, am I a foreigner looking to gain entry or am I a citizen returning home? He then ignored me and proceeded to stare at his computer screen, doing what seemed like nothing, for several minutes. During this time, I noticed there were two little webcams mounted on top of the booth and pointed at me, one front view and the other side view when turned to look at the agent. I didn't recall ever seeing that before. Then it dawned on me that he must have been adding my photo(s)(police booking style) to "my file". Cute. I was very tempted to start making funny faces at the camera just to mess with him. Then I imagined myself in a little room like Neo in the Matrix…

"In one life, Mr Anderson, you work for a respectable computer company and you help your landlady carry out her garbage… one of these lives has a future. The other does not."

I must be out of mind for posting comments with my real name and photo on this website (no offense, Sibel).

Actually, I considered changing my profile to anonymous and then I got pissd off that I even have to think like that…
