Osborne Ultimatum

Operation "Kill Bill": May It Rest In Peace

Osborne has sincere concerns about blanket assaults on the Constitution, such as SB 1959 (HB 1950), the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act. If this bill is passed and becomes law, your words and actions could be considered terrorism. It eviscerates free speech. It empowers the government to declare anything deemed an "extremist belief system" to instantly make you a 'terrorist'. Labelling can lead to stripping of US citizenship, torture, and/or execution, with no habeas corpus rights, no ability to challenge, even in the US Supreme Court.

I have read the [bills] and have several serious concerns about the core competencies of the persons who constructed the document. In my opinion, "the persons don't know counter intelligence and more importantly, they don't know or nor understand covert action intelligence operations,especially secret para-military operations."

By the way, the number for Congress is: 202-224-3121 or 202-225-3121. Ask for Senator Obama's office and tell the aide who answers what you think. The mailing address is: Senator Obama, 713 Harty Building, Washington D.C. 20510; e-mail on obama.senate.gov. His office says he hasn't yet made up his mind on his vote on S1959

The Spy Who Came Out of the Cold War

Osborne maintains his interests in intelligence and is an active lobbyist for his own issues. He is an entrepreneur with an idea whose time may have come: a downscale, privatized mini CIA clone, marketing to both the government and private sector. This vision has taken a few tentative forms to exercise Osborne’s domestic and international experience in transformation, risk analysis and homeland security. Inside sources name him as the #3 terrorism expert.

During Osborne’s years of service (1957-1984) as a spy supervisor, the CIA veteran was on the inside of several of the biggest scandals and mysteries of clandestine service. This era saw everything from UFO cover-ups and disinformation, to MK Ultra, to what Osborne calls the "KKK assassinations" of JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King, secrets of the Watergate debacle, CIA drug trade, insights on George Bush, Sr. and Jr., and the question of the real 9/11 perpetrators.

9/11 Foreknowledge Events

He reported his findings on 9/11 coverage to the Senate Intelligence Committee. Mike Ruppert’s From the Wilderness (FTW) website confirms that the complete version of Izvestia coverage came into its possession "thanks to former CIA counter-terror case officer, Leutrell Osborne. . . .The story had been brought to his attention by his Russian-speaking son and had fortunately been saved in its original form before it was sanitized of several key sentences". The original unsanitized version curiously began:

"Yesterday at the headquarters of Central Intelligence Service in Langley a confidential meeting between one of the Deputy Directors of CIA and a special messenger of Russian Intelligence Service took place. According to NewsRu sources he delivered to his American colleagues some documents including audio tapes with telephone conversations directly relating to terrorist attacks on Washington and New York last Tuesday. According to these sources, Russian Intelligence agents know the organizers and executors of these terrorist attacks. More than that, Moscow warned Washington about preparation to these actions a couple of weeks before they happened."

LMO: “When I left the CIA in 1984, I thought the Afghan War was one of the few successful CIA Covert Action intelligence operations. As a Cold Warrior, I like many thought the US had given the Soviet Union its Vietnam. That theme died quickly as I began my research after 9/11. For me, the blowback began in 1993 with characters such as Ramzi Yousef, Amil Kanzi and the 19 Arabs in 9/11. They fit the mold of characters getting back at the hands that feed them, meaning acts against the USA. Russian foreknowledge led me to understand Russian intelligence operations were still collecting and reporting on the Arabs from the Afghan War.”

"I knew Gust Avrakotos, who armed the Afghan tribesmen for their 1980’s guerrilla war. Now the story is back in the news with Tom Hank’s movie, “Charlie Wilson’s War.” The same weapons were used in their own civil war, and when the U.S. went to war with Afghanistan in 2001."

Q.: What do your investigations reveal lately about 9/11? What is your current thought on the true perpetrators?

LMO: The false flag Mossad led operation and US supported 911 model has greater probability than some Arab grown non nation state theme that the public has been spoon fed by the Overt Action operating elements of the US government. Before blindly accepting the alleged smoking gun let's focus and monitor events closely to follow the treads. We should continue to press sources for truth, motive and due diligence posturing.

Osborne is not alone in his quest, but what distinguishes him from these other CIA commentators is that he comes from Operations not Analysis:

On Sept. 23, 2007, seven CIA veterans announced their criticisms of 9/11 accounts, calling for further investigations of cover-up. Like Osborne, Raymond McGovern is a 27-year veteran of CIA. He chaired the National Intelligence Estimates during the seventies, delivering intelligence briefings to Reagan, Bush 41 and Joints Chiefs of Staff. “There are a whole bunch of unanswered questions. And the reason they’re unanswered is because this administration will not answer the questions,” he said. http://www.opednews.com

William Christison, 29-year CIA veteran, former National Intelligence Officer (NIO) and former Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis also describes the 9/11 Commission Report as a "joke" and "monstrous series of lies." Melvin Goodman, Ph.D., Division Chief of CIA's Office of Soviet Affair and Senior Analyst (1966-1990) concurs with the cover-up appraisal.

Robert Baer, 21-year CIA veteran and specialist in the Middle East, whose novels were the basis of the movie “Syriana”, questions how al-Qaida could accomplish 9/11 alone. He declares, "9/11 was at minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war."

Former Italian President, the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, Francesco Cossiga, has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy's most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad. He claims this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies.

LMO: Then, there are Mike Ruppert's interviews with Delmart "Mike" Vreeland who passed forewarnings to the Canadian government. Whatever other attempts were made by Vreeland and his attorneys to alert U.S. and Canadian officials of the attacks, it is clear that he did pass information about the pending attacks to his guards in August. I know that there have been other U.S. citizens with a similar [undercover naval intelligence] background used on missions similar to what has been alleged by Vreeland. This man fits a pattern. I would like for the Secret Service to put him on a polygraph. http://leutrellosborne.50megs.com/whats_new_1.html

This may be the one thing that gets my attention since I have refused buy into the 9/11story that maintains it was a random “Arab Attack on America” without nation-state participation. It does appear to include blowback from the Soviet's Afghan War. We are not ready to declare 9/11 an inside job, but we still maintain that there is evidence of US foreknowledge, including warnings from Russia.

The statement of the fireman who assisted in the hunt for the four black boxes got my attention since he said they found three black boxes, but no one in government will admit that they found any black boxes.

We are continuing to watch and monitor the arguments especially the technical arguments that are continuing to grow indicating a US inside job. However, the paradigm we hold is just a little different. First as a true counter intelligence expert, I have not bought into any story yet. I’m not ready to drink the “conspiracy kool aid,” of any single theorist. The real story of damage control remains to be told.

Wizard of Osborne

A highlight of Osborne’s life was attending the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. while he was stationed in Europe in 1964. Just age 25, he spent a precious hour with the civil rights leader, gleaning treasures from his wisdom.

Later, Osborne found disturbing new details investigating King’s death, identifying his attackers as FBI agents or at least back pocket agents. He found E. Howard Hunt might have been involved in the MLK assassination.

Osborne interviewed the only official MLK assassination investigator Gary Revel for a story released 11/15/02 and again in April, 2006. On March 22nd, 1977 Revel was commissioned by Chief Counsel Richard Sprague of the House Select Committee on Assassinations to investigate the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

An agent of transformation, Osborne continues pursuing his investigation through the Martin Luther King Truth Committee. www.fastpitchnetworking.com/pres...e.cfm

Big Brother Spy Program

One of Osborne’s pet peeves is the FBI’s COINTEL PRO program aimed at U.S. citizens, including Blacks, Native Americans and the Peace Movement. Osborne also has first-hand knowledge CIA and DOD were also involved in actions against Black Panthers and other groups.

Domestic covert action did not end when it was exposed in the 1970s. The war at home continued unabated. It persisted throughout the 1980s and become a permanent feature of U.S. government, including smear campaigns, disinformation, and politically motivated persecution.

The big news from Osborne on this COINTEL PRO topic is that this government program was not retained within the walls of the FBI nor was it counter intelligence. Osborne says it is "almost just the opposite." COINTEL PRO was a government covert action intelligence operation aimed and directed at US citizens." He says, "the person on the street will get the message when one says that the covert action intelligence operations are simply dirty tricks."

While the problems of the 1960s movements were enormous, their strengths might have enabled them to overcome their weaknesses had the upsurge not been stifled before activists could learn from their mistakes. Much of the peace movement and civil rights movement's inability to transcend their initial limitations and overcome adversity can be traced to COINTEL PRO.

COINTEL PRO helped calculatedly destroy the peace movements of the 1960s. Since this covert action was used mainly against the progressive movements of the 1960s, its impact can be grasped only in the context of the momentous social upheaval, which shook the country during those years. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “A lie cannot live.” Yet, sadly, this type of activity is not relegated to the past, but continues in hydra-headed forms today.

Dec. 6, 2007 - "Donald Kerr, a former NRO director who is now the No. 2 at ODNI, recently explained to reporters that the intelligence community was no longer discussing whether or not to spy on U.S. citizens: "Our job now is to engage in a productive debate, which focuses on privacy as a component of appropriate levels of security and public safety,'' Kerr said. ''I think all of us have to really take stock of what we already are willing to give up, in terms of anonymity, but [also] what safeguards we want in place to be sure that giving that doesn't empty our bank account or do something equally bad elsewhere.'' http://www.alternet.org/rights/69105/

Inside Outsider

Question: There is a perception that once someone is CIA, they are always CIA; what is your current relationship with the Agency?

LMO: "People can keep and have what they want to believe. Most recently the challenge for me has been to prove that I had service with CIA. My 25 year certificate is not enough. CIA will provide proof of employment however. I don't currently work for nor have strong contact at the Agency. I do have my network of friends who have worked there before. Linkedin has been an excellent tool for me to connect with some former Agency types who I didn't even know in the Agency. As the saying goes, I am a free Spirit without a connection, not greater than any other former employee.”

Q.: What led to your disillusionment with covert actions and governmental intelligence agencies, in general?

LMO: "Over the years my objections to Covert Action intelligence operations have come more from the knowing that most often these operations "fail." When they fail, there is blowback. I see 911 as blowback from our interventions in Afghanistan. My 'tude [attitude] is that there can be greater Congressional oversight especially since any one or more of the 16 government agencies and departments may be able to conduct Covert Action intelligence operations."

Q: Has there been any personal "blowback" for you for publically pursuing these touchy investigations?

LMO: "Yes, and indications are there probably will be more as I get into more issues especially in the re-opening of the investigation on the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and continuing COINTEL PRO-type covert actions. "

Q: Current legislation may grant the government the right to collect a range of information on American citizens inside the United States without warrants, as long as the administration asserts that the spying concerns the monitoring of a person believed to be overseas. SB 1959 follows other bills that attempt to gut the Constitution. It is concerning that suppressive programs akin to COINTEL PRO haven’t stopped, and in fact, may be escalating.

LMO: "This domestic spying is only part of the question. In short, this is collection of information. The real issue and concern that is yet to come is the Covert Action intelligence operations that potentially follow such domestic spying. That's another aspect of the “Osborne Ultimatum,” right? "

COVERT ACTION: At Home & Abroad

LMO: Recently it has come to my attention that the FBI’s mission and functions appear to be less precise and clean than the paradigm I had serving the CIA as a Counter Intelligence Officer. The history of COINTELPRO demonstrates the injustices that occur when the US government turns covert actions on our own citizens.

The main question is what is the difference between countering adversaries and intelligence operations (foreign or domestic) against the USA. We presume the basics are three types of intelligence operations, or do we? 1). Collection of information, 2). Countering intelligence operations and 3). Covert action intelligence operations. Please note that the latter includes paramilitary intervention, dark ops and dirty tricks.

At home and abroad, sting operations, lies and false statements about the adversary, and terrorist operations, aka, paramilitary and guerrilla warfare, need explanation and clarification. There has to be agreement that what these activities are and who oversights them. They are only secret when undetected the adversary. Then the originator’s identity is protected.

Once the adversary can detect the true origin, covert action operations are no longer secret in any sense. There are two other levels but in both the originators involvement is not known. Put simply, the domestic operation, COINTEL PRO is not only an FBI counter intelligence program, it is also an FBI covert action operation.

COINTEL PRO was actually a Covert Action intelligence program against U.S. citizens, especially African Americans and Native Americans. If that was not enough, the domestic intelligence program had coordination within the CIA in l968.

As far as I am concerned, this demonstrates the genuine sickness in the United States because while this harmful domestic covert action intelligence program was taking place, the US Government, especially the leaders were saying that equality is what they wanted for all citizens. Please note that Covert Action intelligence operations may include assassinations along with paramilitary activities.

Current Affairs

Q.: Over the past six years, the Bush administration has spent almost $100 million on a highly classified program to help Gen. Pervez Musharaf, Pakistan’s president, secure his country’s nuclear weapons, according to current and former senior administration officials.

Conspirituality: The Heart of Darkness

We can express our relevant contemporary approach as Sacred Activism. Our true work remains to know ourselves and express that from the deepest levels outward in practice and compassionate service. We can identify, analyze and neutralize adversarial energies with reclaimed courageous voices. If we see the Big Picture, we can link information to action, like 2020 Vision.

We must draw the line at our hearts, bending back toward soul and spirit, becoming more fully human. Self-defeating and self-fulfilling prophecies can shape the future or prevent it from happening. We have to claim our future and humanity by developing by consolidating (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) human survival technologies.

Sacred Activism is service in motion. If you have a value, stand up for it. Let's build better humans from the primordial field upwards. There is only one race, and it's the human race and we are losing it. Our culture must be defined by our hearts not by banks, oil, academia, media, corporations, drug companies or poor government.

For our species to survive, we have to begin at the primal foundation of our Being, creating and allowing more compassionate human beings who recognize that the only sustainability possible for ourselves is to realize at the deepest level that WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER. And any delusion that creates separation, including exploitation, prejudice and degradation, manifests loss of opportunities for us all to realize our spiritual genius. This has been the stumbling block for the race of mankind as a dynamic whole.

We are indeed, ONE
