Very few Americans, not directly
affected by this man of many faces have no idea, of who really directs the
duties of the 180,000 government employees in DHS: Duties that this man
now holds in his stained and conflicted hands. It seems that the variety
of controversies which have paralleled Michael Chertoff's meteoric rise in
government have been allowed to languish in the shadows for far too long.
If the public does not soon become familiar with who their Director of
Homeland Security really is-then they may live to regret that oversight.
The details of Michael Chertoff's personal history should have
disqualified him for high office: but instead his nomination for this job
was approved without objection by the Senate.
"The Senate voted 98-0 to
approve Chertoff on February 15. Chertoff, 51, took the oath of office
that night in a 'private ceremony at the White House.'
DHS has a $32 billion budget,
180,000 employees, and jurisdiction over immigration, customs and
transportation security, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service and the
Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The question of Chertoff's
dual-nationality doesn't seem to have concerned a single U.S.
senator."
Many have wondered who let the
detained suspected Israeli agents go back to Israel, immediately after
911. Apparently it was Michael Chertoff.
"Chertoff allowed scores of
suspected Israeli terrorists and spies to quietly return to Israel . In
several cases, Israeli suspects working for phoney moving companies, such
as Urban Moving Systems from Weehawken, N.J., were caught driving moving
vans which tested positive for explosives. On September 14, Dominic Suter,
the owner of the moving company, which was found to be a Mossad front
company, fled to Israel after FBI agents requested a second interview.
One group of 5 Israelis was seen
on the roof of Urban Moving Systems videotaping and celebrating the
destruction of the World Trade Center. These Israeli agents were returned
to Israel on visa violations.
These Israeli suspects, and
others, who had apparently transported explosives in the New York area,
were allowed to return to Israel without being properly interrogated or
their presence and activities in the United States having been vigorously
investigated." (1)
What is publicly available about
Chertoff's life and his various careers is not comforting, if you care
about either law or justice-and it's especially troubling if you demand a
depth of character from those who occupy the highest offices in this land.
Ah but then this is the Cheney-Bush Era of Empire, so that 'quaint idea'
is probably now completely without merit.
"Chertoff is credited with
authoring the Patriot Act, the 300-plus page blueprint for the modern
National Security State; patterned to great extent on the successes of the
KGB in the Soviet system. He's admired among his Bush cadres for making
sure that government surveillance operates at maximum efficiency. Under
his stewardship at the Dept of Justice, the 4th amendment has withered
like summer grass. The long-held belief that citizens, have a right to a 'reasonable expectation of privacy' has buckled under the
demands of 'Big Brother' and the new 'intrusive'
security paradigm."
And: "Chertoff's record of
failure at Justice is second only to that of Ashcroft. His 4 year tenure
hasn't produced even one identifiable success. (Check out his 'obstruction of justice' in the John Walker Lindh case on
Democracy Now) Instead, his personal ineptitude and his palpable contempt
for the law have only showered more disgrace on the institution of
American justice. That probably explains why he's being moved up the
bureaucratic dog-pile to the top rung of Homeland Security. In Bush-world
"failing upwards" is more commonplace than cowboy boots at a
Crawford tent-show." (2)
As someone that controls the
largest Federal Agency in the US government; the life and accomplishments
of Michael Chertoff ought to be available and easy to locate: but that has
not been the case. Instead the important details concerning Michael
Chertoff's past have been meticulously scrubbed from the net. The basics
are available from Wikipedia but the facts surrounding the depth of his
family's involvement in the actual creation of the State of Israel, have
disappeared.
"Chertoff is the co-author,
along with Viet Dinh, of the
PATRIOT Act, signed into law October 26,
2001. As head of the Justice Department's criminal division, he advised
the Central Intelligence Agency on the outer limits of legality in
coercive interrogation sessions." (3)
One of the little known aspects
inside all the secrecy surrounding The vile National ID Card, the HOMELAND
Security Act, and the shadowy FEMA camps that many believe are about to be
used-concerns the other master criminals that Cheney-Bush hired to ensure
that Americans will become as completely controlled a population, as were
the people of Communist East Germany or the old USSR.
For Instance: "This
"card" (the National ID Card) was designed for Homeland Security
by the former East German STAZI chief, Marcus Wolfe, a master of
manipulation and intimidation and Primakov the former head of the KGB in
the USSR. These two former spy chiefs are who really run our SECRET
National Interior Spy Service. Bush employed them specifically for what
they brought from their communist states - now they decide who lives and
who dies in America! These men have not changed, they are who they are,
and that's why Bush & the Bandits hired them for HOMELAND Security. If
these men appeared for work, in the uniforms of their former States, the
public would be outraged, and rightfully so! How is it that the radical
right continues to decry Communism, yet they have allowed Bush to employ
top communist counter-intelligence officers to oversee every facet of our
lives?" (4)
Throughout this long
international nightmare there remains the still incomplete tragedy of the
insertion of Israel, as a State, into what was once Palestine. This
conflicted and war-torn place has been the international flashpoint of
privilege over human rights and bondage over freedom for over half a
century. Flames and blood from this dispute were ignited by greed and by
those dark and destabilizing dreams of Empire that were beginning even
before the First World War. Here's something that one woman adds to the
on-going dialogue in Palestine-because what she's found is pivotal to the
veracity of claims made by the Zionist extremists that control
"Israel" today. This is why the dual citizenship of our Homeland
Security Czar is incompatible with his position in government today. The
USA is large enough to require that all our highest officials be Americans
without dual citizenships, or conflicts of national interest, from any
other nation. (5)
