Using his previous experience as a telephone technician, Turner is able to track down Joubert and begins to discern that a rogue presence inside CIA ("a CIA within the CIA") is conducting top secret, illicit operations. At one point, he comes face-to-face with Joubert again, but escapes another attempt on his life. In fact, it is often Turner's inexperience in the field that makes him unpredictable and allows him to continue to elude his pursuers.
Turner eventually discovers that Joubert was hired by the secret cabal to eliminate all the people in the New York office because Turner's report indicated they had stumbled onto one of their contingency plans to invade the Middle East in the event of an oil crisis. He tracks down the mastermind to his home and takes him captive. However, Joubert arrives soon afterwards. Surprisingly, he kills his former employer, because the contract has changed; he now works for the CIA. He befriends Turner, to the extent this is possible, and advises that Turner, for his own safety, settle in Europe. Turner declines, saying he was born in the United States and that he misses it when he's gone too long. Jourbert remarks that this is a pity. Turner adds, he doesn't regard it as one. When Turner asks Joubert why he kills for a living, Joubert contradicts Turner's assumption that such a life would be unbearable by inferring that it's peaceful and that there are no sides to follow but rather "...the belief is in your own precision." Before they part, Joubert warns him that he is still a target and tells him how he will likely be set up for his own assassination.
The "Government" is not any one thing - generally. Specifically, there are aspects of the US Government that actively resist and subvert the interest of the American people.
In fact the "government" is not trying to carry out the law of the land - but rather to use law as an instrument of power. The Government would abolish private, reserve currency, were it "desperately attempting, against all odds, trying to sensibly enforce the bogglingly complex and conflicted laws of the land." The argument is disingenuous.
This "Government" - including the highest courts in the judiciary - have recently held forth on the proposition, that for legal purposes, prisoners in extra-judicial detention by the military and executive agencies are not "persons". Therefore, they are not afforded Constitutional guarantees for persons. Simultaneously, the rights of corporations as 'persons" for First Amendment protections - among others - is upheld. What is wrong with this picture? If you try and rationalise this situation, you are put in the position of "the good Gerrmans". The worst are American Liberals - completely enabling the subversion of basic rights and law, through rational acceptance of evil.
Anyone who claims to have any interest in the idea of American Government, should be able to meditate deeply on the real intention of the founders of the Republic - the touchstone of which is in the Introduction and Preamble to the Declaration of Independence.
This is just like CIA Claims Cyber Attackers Blacked Out Cities Do you see the common thread here? Same SANS "expert", too. The guy who gave CIA props for their "disclosure". I remember when SANS was a good, technical security training and education outfit. Now they are on the Richard Clarke / Howard Schmidt CyberTerror disinformation campaign. I would doubt the spook "creds" - if you'd call 'em that - of Alan Paller. The worst theft and correlation of personal data is an ongoing effort by the state - with the telcos CA-CHING! Billing all the while. The crooks and Terra-ists are a joke in comparison. T'rists didn't "lose" several BILLION US dollars in small, unmarked bills in Iraq.
Who loses track of that kind of money? No one. Mistakes aren't made like that. Plans are. But we're supposed to be afraid of teh Internet now. Why? Cos' if we didn't have the 'net, we wouldn't know about that missing cash - or the validity of Operations MOCKINGBIRD, MKUltra, Northwoods, etc.
We also have secret wars, illegal financing, blackmail, brainwashing, manipulation of the press, assassination, extra-judicial surveillance, detention and punishment. What'd I leave out? Oh, yeah! "Harsh Interrogation". That's just "torture" between us. But I digress. The mainline business is lying - it's like the life-blood of the other operations.
Now trust us on this one: The Internet is extremely dangerous.
Really. You'll have to get on board with us over this one, as we begin to curtail the Internet. I know it's a useful tool for communication. But we'll all have to live with censorship, spying and blockage, to stop an Internet 9/11.
It is most important that you associate political speech and action on the Internet with suspicious motive - even with predilection for terror. We will develop this theme over the next few years, so stay tuned - and stay safe.
Israel claims it is the home of all Jews - even the Atheists. I do not believe that being Jewish is identical with adopting the religious practices of Judaism.
In this, it is an ethnological affinity - not one of creed or association.
