Probably the biggest failure of US intelligence since 9/11 has been the compromise of the CIA’s communication network, which it had used to keep in touch with agents and assets in foreign nations. The Chinese busted and executed dozens of US spies because of it. A new exposé by Yahoo News says a similar upheaval happened in Iran and that the Iranians managed to defeat the system relatively easily – because it was never intended for the purpose it was used for. The CIA could have prevented the blunder had it listened to a defense contractor named John Reidy, who’d warned about the vulnerability of the system years before the Iranians mastered it. Reidy’s job was to identify, contact and manage human resources for the CIA in Iran. His complaint, however, was not heeded, while Reidy himself was punished by his superiors for the embarrassment he caused, or at least that’s what he believes. “This is one of the most catastrophic intelligence failures since September 11th,” Irvin McCullough, a national security analyst with the Government Accountability Project, told Yahoo News; “And the CIA punished the person who brought the problem to light.”

Adani Linked Corruption/Incompetence
 
 
 
 

I received this from Lock The Gate.

Dear Tom,

I’m a grazier from Central Queensland, and I’ve just found out that the Australian government is playing Russian roulette with the Indian billionaire, Adani, and our water.

Secret documents obtained through Freedom of Information (FOI) has revealed our worst fears: that crucial advice about the impacts of the Adani mine on river water have been ignored*.

The documents obtained by Lock the Gate show that the Department of Agriculture and Water warned about significant risks to our water resources from Adani plans to take 12.5 billion litres of river water each year.

Every day that this drought grinds on hardens my resolve to fight for our water.

As I watch my western Queensland soil crack open and my grasses perish I realise we must prioritise food production over washing coal for export.

Adani wants to take the equivalent of approximately 5,000 Olympic swimming pools of river water each year to run their risky mega-mine.

But the Federal Government has given them the green light to bypass the water trigger and avoid key environmental impact assessments for their impacts on the river system.

If advice from the Dept of Ag had been followed, there should have been a full environmental assessment and independent review.

Another department, Geoscience Australia, also found problems stating that Adani had missed important mapping of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems.

So that’s two government agencies who have shown just how weak and shoddy Adani’s proposals are, but so far government decision makers are ignoring them.

Together, we need to keep piling on the pressure, exposing the secret deals happening behind closed doors, and commissioning research that reveals the true impacts of this project.

It’s not just the Suttor River at risk, Adani’s megamine also threatens recharge aquifers of the Great Artesian Basin.

We absolutely rely on these water resources in Central and Western Queensland. We can’t survive without them.

We can’t afford to let Adani risk it all. In a drying climate we need the strictest controls possible on mining, to allow our rural industries and towns to survive.

Warm regards,

Bruce Currie

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!

Tom
