Wayne Madsen:
Well when I burned him on the Democratic Underground Forum in the
middle of the post-2004-election-stealing hoopla, the agency should have
pulled him. No question. Somebody goofed bad.
...and they went Whoaaa. "This guy is ex-NSA!" Then they read how his
story of a multi-million-dollar check to an offshore Bush trust fund being
used to steal the election was a red herring and they went Whoaaa again.
And finally, being as how they were reeling from the Bush "victory" and
trying to figure how they got screwed soooo bad..... when they read that
Madsen had helped to decoy them into expecting an October Surprise
attack on Iran --just days before the election (when Bush actually was
going to steal the vote like in 2000 ) they went Whoaaa for a third tiime.

Then they went back to Whoaaa number 1, and they said "ex-NSA, Eh?"
And they dumped him faster than a pneumatic trash van empties bins.
I was there. I wrote the article. I saw him go down in flames.
But did the agency pull him? Nope. Dumb asses kept him at the station.
Well our old 'friend' Wayne Madsen sure does get around. Maybe because
his reputation in the US is so thin. Folks in Russia and around the world
might not be as up to speed on the background of the 'ex'-NSA employee.
So, Madsen also has a career on Russia Today, having now featured in
a dozen reports on the station --which is an arm of state-owned propaganda
agency RIA-Novosti.
Here's the latest 'agitatsiya' featuring Madsen, on May 15, 2009:
Quote:
Barack Obama is to re-start military tribunals for some prisoners at
Guantanamo Bay, unnamed White House sources say. Washington
investigative journalist Wayne Madsen says the move contradicts
his campaign promises.
That's harmless enough stuff, but Madsen has also defended Russia at the
time of outrage over the assassination by poison of Alexander Litvinenko.
His reassuring words, (letting Russia off the hook ) were:
Quote:
“There was no interest by the Russian government in creating a potential
martyr in an individual, especially in Mr Litvinenko, who had links with all
kinds of unsavoury characters,” says Wayne Madsen, a Washington-
based investigative journalist. “To do this would actually hurt the Russian
government.”

And Russia Today also aired Madsen's tinfoil claims that the recent
Swine Flu outbreak was due to a virus that might have been built in
a laboratory:

Investigative journalist from Washington Wayne Madsen says
the outbreak of the swine flu virus is raising suspicions. The sources
quoted by him say it could be manmade.
Of course, Madsen based that report on 'sources' he never named in print
or on air. But that M.O. is pretty much par for the course for Madsen, who
specializes in sourceless reports that could never make it into print in any
reputable publication.
That's not a problem for Russia Today, which has no reputation to
speak of anyway:
Quote:
Russia Today sets out to present the Russian point of view on events in
Russia and its 'near abroad' and give the viewers an opportunity to get
acquainted with Russian views on world and domestic events. Margarita
Simonyan, Russia Today's editor-in-chief, says the station was born out
of the desire to present an "unbiased portrait of Russia".
Western state and commercial media claim that Russia Today has close
ties with the Russian state authorities and a few years after the channel
started broadcasting, for being a "cheerleader" of the Kremlin, applying
positive spin to reports about governmental institutions and refraining
from criticizing Prime Minister and former Russian president Vladimir
Putin or the government......

Despite it's genesis in Russian State propaganda, the Russia Today
YouTube videos are regularly featured on Google News.
Interesting that someone who is formerly(ahem) of the NSA is
now comfortably providing services to Russian propaganda TV!
He don't mind. They don't mind. You don't matter.
We're all one big happy G20 family these days.
And spinning bullshit at the unsuspecting public is a Global Game. _________________ Minds are like parachutes.
They only function when open.
