The US government has allegedly set up a special security wing with the sole task of distancing Washington from any involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen claims the group has since grown into a disproportionate counter-intelligence force, mainly targeting journalists and prosecuting whistle–blowing security officials.

According to Madsen, this group is fully operational and is called the “Q Group” of the National Security Agency and its headquarters are within the headquarters of NSA at Fort Meade, Maryland. Q Group works in close cooperation with the FBI counter intelligence officers, as well as local police department intelligence units.

Madsen insists that the group is very large and approximately 1,000 agents and informers are employed by this secret agency within the already secretive NSA.

“Under Obama there has been no effort to curtail this organization. Unfortunately, the NSA’s power is growing because the Obama administration is now giving them new powers to conduct surveillance in cyberspace, placing cyber command under the control of NSA,” said Madsen.

The USA is slow moving into Stalinism, it already has established it's own gulags. Mainstream media is controlled by a few corporation, all of them bowing to governments policies. In 10+ years or so people will start fleeing from USA to search for "freedom" somewhere else.

Obama is just the face and mouthpiece of the corporation known as the "United States Company Corporation", which is impersonating government. Obama has taken on the same role as Bush or Reagan... Not much has changed except the face and the slogans, and that the agenda of those in control has been furthered. As the Chinese ambassador pointed out, "Why in the world would we fight a war with the United States when we can simply buy their politicians?... And they are all so cheap!

Academics in the USA always seem to have been blinded to what goes on around them every time they comment publicly. Why is that the case? If Pearl Harbour in Hawaii - a US enclave at the time - had not been attacked by Imperial Japan's War Machine in 1941 the government of the USA would still have been allied with the fascist Axis Powers. Britons despise them for not entering the War in Europe in 1939. The USA Statutes of the day were absolutely racist splashed with a dash of a hint of democracy for all. The Congress was split 50:50 until Pearl Harbour as to how best help Hitler and the Nazis and Mussolini and the Fascists to win the War against the Communists in Europe seeing them as the real threat to a prosperous Big Business [USA-based] empire. If Britain was out of the picture that would help that cause greatly. To them Japan was only interested in Jungles until then. The policies of support for reactionary and/or corrupt anti-popular regimes around the Globe still goes on unabated - at home. The "UN-American Activities Act" and the "Patriot Act" pale into insignificance when you realize the way JFK brought about the end of the Vietnam and Indochina War by escalating it. ///snowyone.
