SSR SPECIAL SERIES
EXEMPT FROM LEGAL RECOURSE:
"And if you somehow think habeas corpus has not been
suspended for American citizens but only for everybody else,
ask yourself this: If you are pulled off the street
tomorrow, and they call you an alien or an undocumented
immigrant or an “unlawful enemy combatant”—exactly how are
you going to convince them to give you a court hearing to
prove you are not? Do you think this attorney general is
going to help you?"
Keith Olbermann,
from
'Beginning of
the end of America'

Just Another Small Bump in the Road to Disclosure?
by Gary S.
Bekkum
This has become a difficult story to tell; a tale not unlike
superstring M-theory, that consists in part of mystery, magic
(or should that be 'MAJIC'?) and murkiness. The deeper one looks
into the actors and players, the darker and less defined the
story becomes. The plot thickens but cannot be divined by
ordinary mortal detective work. This is a tale of our time, for
all times.
It is also very clearly a tale of some serious investigative
inquiries, and here we speak of threats backed by no legal
recourse; as we skim the edge of this dark abyss we pause to
wonder briefly how close we dare approach the rumblings without
becoming trapped by the movement below. Some among us have
ventured quite closely and are understandably cautious. The
recent problems of a certain New York Times reporter involving
leaks and scandals over the secret identity of a CIA covert
employee weigh in the back of our minds.
Rather than add to the ever-growing shadow of confusion, let me
make one point quite clear. The same official of the United
States Government that previously requested that Starstream
Research remove specific items from a story we published and
later retracted in July of this year (2006) has also raised a
serious issue about a potential threat to the national security,
perhaps involving espionage and foreign powers, and has acted to
interpret that threat to the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence. We aren't about to release his name, position or
name his associates that are tangentially involved in this
sordid affair, but we have been partially freed to tell this
tale by a mutual contact, our man in Washington, Dan T. Smith,
who faithfully produces a blog about his (mis-?) adventures with
the men in black suits.
We also made an overture to someone closely aligned with both
sides of this
recent scuffle, thus far without response. Giving this
individual the benefit of the doubt, as he is understandably
busy performing his day job, we await patiently for his expected
rebuttal.
"I am of course aware of far more than what has been posted at
Dan's blog,
coming from various sources. Your input is highly valued, as I
am hoping for something more from you than, 'no comment.' Thank
you."
Meanwhile, it appears that Mr. Smith is quite willing to push
the envelope, but having not quite knocked the ball
out of the park, he is not quite ready to run the bases to home
plate. We must give credit where credit is due, however, keeping
in mind that Mr. Smith points to his intelligence connections as
providing direction for his own 'rogue' activities.
A few items posted by Mr. Smith at his blog are of particular
interest. We reproduce them here for the curious reader, with
permission, and without further comment, knowing that a fish or
two may have been caught up in the net (or should that be the
network?) and released. Others may look forward to the frying
pan, no doubt!
For those readers that remain uninitiated
into 'AVIAN' politics, we suggest a little background material
prior to attempting any understanding of what follows.
The following material in quotations
are excerpts taken verbatim from Mr. Smith's blog:
"Some months ago (a year ago?) Joe Stefula told me that he had
alerted the FBI to some new and allegedly classified material
that had surfaced. Actually, Joe had asked me to take up this
matter with the Baltimore office of the FBI, to follow up on my
two previous visits there. I had begged off of this task, and
Joe went ahead with it himself. I'm thinking that this may have
been in reference to some of the documents contained in Bob
Collin's EfD book. These were documents allegedly provided by
Rick Doty. I was told later that the FBI had contacted RMC and
BJ about this matter. They knew better than to go after Rick for
the umpteenth time. These may have been some of the same
documents referred to by CF, as mentioned above. I don't recall
now that any of this directly involved SERPO, beyond the
indirect linkage stated by CF in the 9/1 entry. Also recall the
6/26 entry wherein CF was threatening to ask the FBI to serve
warrants on people involved in the circulation of the MJ-12
documents, as being possible material witnesses to treasonable
activity. I have not been further informed about the status of
that threat."
"This from CF yesterday to us other three fish:
'I just wanted to let you know that during the past few days I
have been involved in several e-mail exchanges with Rick Doty.
In those exchanges, Rick has claimed not to have accessed
SANDIA, LLNL or sensitive military installations since his
retirement from USAF. He also has claimed to have no
involvement with UFOs since January 2006, no knowledge of the
source of the names of DIA employees linked to SERPO or the
identification of [JG] as Mr. Anonymous. These claims appear to
conflict with what most of us generally perceive as reality.
Nevertheless I have no strong evidence that counters his
claims. I would appreciate photos or other evidence that I
could share with Rick that might seem to counter his claims. I
certainly want to extend to Rick an opportunity to demonstrate
he is not involved with SERPO or UFO stories as he claims. But
if true, then who was it that escorted [xxx] into sensitive
military facilities? Since I first heard of Rick Doty there
have been perplexing stories of multiple Doty's. Perhaps his
dimensionally shifted twin it the culprit, but I would not know
how to differentiate between such otherwise identical Dotys.
Any suggestions?'
DF and I believe that we do have access to such information.
One sticking point is that CF is subsequently demanding photos.
I have pointed out to him that any unauthorized photos taken on
a military base would subject the photographer to arrest.
I have stated that we ought to be able to obtain a sufficiently
detailed description of the secure vault that was accessed by
Rick to enable the interested parties to confirm that this did
happened. This entails negotiation with a third party who was
present. That may take a few more days."
"Yesterday CF sent the following:
'Please provide any photos that document Doty accessing secure
military facilities and I will forward them to his supervisor
for positive identification. I do not want photos of Doty
attending UFO conferences, standing outside military facilities,
or doing any of the activities common to UFO investigators.'"
"Meanwhile CF has contacted Rick's supervisor in the NMSP
concerning threats
made to Shawnna. CF has made some of his correspondence with
Rick available to someone at the RU forum asking him to withhold
any posting of it for another couple of days while Rick is
allegedly dealing with a personal matter. This correspondence
indicates that Rick is refusing to cooperate, and instead is
making threats against CF.
It is my understanding that Rick has been put on administrative
leave for some weeks as a result of the earlier threats which
are posted on RU. It is my further understanding that BJ
remains supportive/defensive of Rick's role in the SERPO affair,
while he personally supposes that SERPO is largely a piece of
disinformation. TBMK, BJ also remains open to aspects of the
core story, as does CF to somewhat different aspects. It
remains unclear as to what if any is the overlap of the
respective aspects. CF does discount the biological aspects
presented by BJ.
Let us suppose that there are no major developments in this
story over the weekend. Where will that leave us? Will any new
light have been shed on SERPO or the core story? It does appear
that Rick's personal stability has effectively been called into
question. This can only detract from whatever remaining
credibility he may previously have had. At this late date, it
would be very difficult to simply factor out Rick's very
significant contributions to the core story.
If Rick is permanently sidelined and BJ's and RC's credibilities
are correspondingly impugned in the process, this then leaves
the fate of that story largely in the hands of CF."
"Rick has until Wednesday to respond positively to CF's request
for cooperation before he lodges a formal complaint with the
NMSP. He remains doubtful that Rick will respond. Rick is
between a rock and a hard place. It is no small matter for an
officer of the law to suborn testimony to a federal agent, i.e.
BJ who is working under various federal code-name clearances,
overseen by CF. On the other hand, if Rick has any real
sources, these should have been reported immediately to the NMSP
on the clear suspicion that they were trafficking in sensitive
information. Rick is not a journalist. He is an officer of the
law. He has none of the lenience usually granted to the
former. CF avers that the local police are deputized to
investigate matters pertaining to national security, in lieu of
the FBI who have long-since tired of investigating officer Doty.
But then there was something else. CF expects that Rick will
respond more forthrightly to an internal inquiry."
"Later today I'm expecting to receive from CF his correspondence
with Rick,
concerning Rick's involvement in the SERPO circus earlier this
year. I will post that to a temporary page here, just to allow
the interested parties time to transfer it to their own
locations. I don't expect there to be any attempt to conceal
the identity of CF in that correspondence.
There is no point for DF and me to involve ourselves in this
controversy any more than we are already implicated through an
association with CF. DF
continues to be more the skeptic relative to the core story than
am I.
Where we go from here is the question of the day. That depends
in good
measure upon the outcome of any further investigation involving
Rick's
alleged DIA sources. I understand that a third name has
surfaced in that
connection. CF has terminated his correspondence with Rick at
this point.
The only ongoing investigation would be internal to the NMSP,
presumably
with some feedback to us. If there were any actual involvement
of the DIA
beyond what is already known, I don't know if that information
would be
conveyed to us.
That Paul Murad of the DIA may have communicated with Rick about
SERPO is
quite possible, but whether he was the source of any possibly
sensitive
information about other DIA personnel is quite another matter.
That issue could use some clarification."
"You were correct that my interest is not specifically in Doty.
My interest in temporarily removing Doty from the plot is to
test whether another actor will fill the role. Dan had
commented several months back that the story might have created
Doty rather than the other way around. Indeed your viral
hypothesis may benefit from some refinement. Individuals that
are infected do not simply become part of a larger sickness
pool, but rather they fill specific and unique niches. But how
unique are these roles and what determines their specifics?
With Doty temporarily removed, will someone fill in as simply
another of the mythical and indistinguishable Dotys? Or will
that someone fill in with unique characteristics clearly
distinguishable from Doty? Will that someone move the story
forward to the next chapter?"
We are anxiously waiting to turn the
page in this ever-evolving soap opera.

"Without the added Melodrama I'll stick to
what I was told or know. I was told the documents were hoaxes,
but the CONTENT is real and to expect a visit from the FBI. They
told me the DIA Office at LANL couldn't find the Code Words or
Serial Numbers. But in the government that means little, since
one government agency or person will lie to the other government
agency or person. The reason the FBI (or others) won't
investigate is because of the nature of the subject. It's just
better to say nothing. They don't want to touch this with a ten
foot pole. But for anything else the FBI would be all over you
... Also, my own sources ran those DIA Docs thru the DIA Office
at LANL. The DIA Office claimed they couldn't find the Code
Words or Serial Numbers but guess what; the CONTENT is real as
those same sources told me ... And, no government agency will
acknowledge real classified documents
publicly, you should know that ... They will call them fakes or
hoaxes..."
