If the archives of the Education Forum were lost, it would have an impact in its own way similar to the destruction of the Library at Alexandria. http://ehistory.osu.edu/world/articles/articleview.cfm?aid=9 Another way of looking at value and impact of the research and writings that appear on the Education Forum can be found in this vitally important article about the Open Source Revolution: The open source revolution is coming and it will conquer the 1% - ex CIA spy The man who trained more than 66 countries in open source methods calls for re-invention of intelligence to re-engineer Earth From the article: "My motto, a play on the CIA motto that is disgraced every day, is 'the truth at any cost lowers all other costs'", he tells me. "Others wiser than I have pointed out that nature bats last. We are at the end of an era in which lies can be used to steal from the public and the commons. We are at the beginning of an era in which truth in public service can restore us all to a state of grace." http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/jun/19/open-source-revolution-conquer-one-percent-cia-spy

John, I typed “Google, Bing and Operation Mockingbird” into Google, and your recent posting on the Education Forum popped right up. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=google%2C+bing+and+operation+mockingbird You also posted your article on Facebook and Twitter but Google did not archive these posts. The value of posting an article on the Education Forum is that it is archived forever by Google. This is invaluable for research and writing. Postings on Facebook and Twitter are transitory. Thus, there is value in posting an article in all three places for it to gain wide circulation but especially on the Education Forum if you want it to be remembered.

After 7 Months, British Hacking Case Heads to the Jury By KATRIN BENNHOLDJUNE 10, 2014 The New York Times LONDON — With one of Britain’s most riveting trials — a seven-month courtroom marathon that exposed the inner workings of the tabloid news media and the personal lives of two friends of the prime minister — nearing its conclusion, the judge gave this reminder to the jury: “No one is so powerful they can ignore the law.” Among those on trial are Rebekah Brooks, who ran Rupert Murdoch’s British newspaper empire until 2011, and one of her former deputy editors, Andy Coulson, who went on to become the chief spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain. While the case centers on allegations of hacking into the mobile phones of people in the news, it has also become a guided tour through the precincts of wealth and power in London. Justice John Saunders has been offering jurors detailed instructions on how they should consider each count against the defendants since he began the process of summarizing the case last week. On Tuesday, he focused on allegations that evidence was hidden. The 11 jurors (one has had to abandon her duty for personal reasons) are expected to retire to consider their verdict on Wednesday. Since October, Ms. Brooks and Mr. Coulson, former lovers and former editors of Mr. Murdoch’s weekly News of the World, have been denounced by prosecutors, defended by lawyers and dissected by the news media. They became the subject of the kind of salacious headlines they used to splash across their pages. They face charges linked to the illegal interception of the voice mail messages of celebrities, royalty and, most controversially, a kidnapped teenager, who was later found dead. They are also accused of condoning payments to public officials for information and, in the case of Ms. Brooks, conspiring to conceal evidence from the police with the help of her husband, secretary and security chief. Seven defendants are on trial, all of whom deny all charges. The trial has also become a test of whether Britain’s infamously aggressive tabloid culture — the six-figure prices paid for scoops, the scavenging in celebrity trash cans, the relentless invasion of privacy — can be tamed to prevent similar transgressions in the future. It has exposed the cozy ties among the news media, politicians and the police, and in particular the influence of Mr. Murdoch’s newspapers, which have dominated the industry in Britain for many years. When he began his instructions to the jury last Wednesday, Justice Saunders warned the jurors not to be “dazzled” by the defendants. “Some of those on trial enjoyed a lifestyle you can only dream of, not just in financial terms but influence they brought to bear,” Justice Saunders said. “They were friends of politicians; they are friends of the stars.” “You do not envy them their success or be dazzled by it,” he said. “Respect their success, but everyone is subject to the law of the land.” The jurors have up to a month to reach a decision, one that is expected to make its impact felt not just in newsrooms across the country but also on Downing Street. Mr. Cameron’s aides worry that the conviction of a formerly trusted adviser could revive questions about the prime minister’s judgment ahead of next year’s general election. Many in the British establishment have been ensnared or embarrassed by the investigation, including former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who, according to evidence presented at the trial, offered to act as an “unofficial adviser” to Ms. Brooks and Mr. Murdoch. At least 1,000 people from politics, sports and the media, including Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, are believed to have had their phones hacked. Indeed, the case had all the ingredients of a juicy tabloid story: tales of Mr. Cameron’s inviting Ms. Brooks to his birthday party; computers hidden in trash bags (along with pornography belonging to Ms. Brooks’s husband); and a steamy love letter read in court documenting the on-and-off intimacy between Ms. Brooks and Mr. Coulson. Prosecutors asserted that because of their relationship, if one of them knew about phone hacking, both were likely to have known. The case centers on the practice of illegally intercepting voice mail messages remotely, which took place from 2000 to 2006 and took advantage of the fact that many people never changed the default access codes provided by cellphone operators. In 2007, a private investigator employed by The News of the World, Glenn Mulcaire, and the tabloid’s editor overseeing coverage of the royal family, Clive Goodman, went to jail after pleaded guilty to intercepting voice mail messages. Mr. Mulcaire has admitted targeting the cellphone of Milly Dowler, the teenager who was killed, in April 2002 when Ms. Brooks was editor and Mr. Coulson her deputy. Several former news editors have also admitted to being aware of the practice. The jury members now need to decide whether they believe Ms. Brooks and Mr. Coulson, who say they were unaware of the phone hacking at the time. Ms. Brooks has maintained that she learned about the hacking of Ms. Dowler’s phone only when the story broke in The Guardian in 2011. Whatever the verdict — and it could be followed by appeals — the case has already left its mark, said Roy Greenslade, a journalism professor at City University in London. News editors have been humbled, and politicians put on notice, he said. “After years of Wild West activity the sheriff has ridden into town,” Professor Greenslade said. “If you look at the tabloid end of the British press, it’s cleaner than it’s ever been before.” Correction: June 10, 2014 Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated the day that Justice John Saunders told the jury, “No one is so powerful they can ignore the law.” He said that last Wednesday, not Tuesday

Extremely valuable compilation of key books. Thanks, Robert.

I am posting this article without comment. I know it will be greeted with criticism by some forum members. What intrigued me most about the article was that President John F. Kennedy created the NRO and DIA in the first year of his administration, only a few months apart in 1961. What information did he possess that caused him to do this? http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=2211&category=Environment

Phone-hacking trial told of 'very ugly' cover-up after NoW royal editor's arrest Clive Goodman's barrister says Andy Coulson and others used 'carrot and stick' approach to ensure silence on wider criminality By Lisa O'Carroll theguardian.com, Tuesday 27 May 2014 12.01 EDT Clive Goodman was 'groomed' as the 'fall guy' for wider hacking at the News of the World, his barrister has told the phone-hacking trial. A "very ugly" and "cynical" cover-up operation swung into action when the News of the World's royal editor was arrested for phone-hacking offences, the Old Bailey has heard. Clive Goodman was being "groomed" as the "fall guy" for the wider hacking at the defunct tabloid back in 2006 and even told he could keep a job if he went to prison, his barrister, David Spens QC, has claimed. Quoting US president Lyndon B Johnson's description of FBI chief Edgar J Hoover, Spens said it was as if the News of the World had decided it was "better to have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in". In his closing speech Spens said that the editor at the time, Andy Coulson, and others adopted a "carrot and stick" approach to ensure his silence on the wider criminality at the paper. "We say that the cover-up is a very ugly story. "Mr Goodman was vulnerable. Promises and inducements were made to him. He was gong to have his legal expenses paid, he was suspended on full pay, and he was being offered the prospect he might return to work and he was, we suggest, being groomed to be the fall guy," said Spens. He said it was a "somewhat shocking and cynical strategy of carrot and stick at the News of the World to ensure Mr Goodman's silence as to the extent of phone hacking." Goodman was arrested in August 2006 on suspicion of phone hacking and a few months later decided to plead guilty to the offences, meaning there was no trial. Spens told jurors that once Goodman was jailed, at the end of January 2007, his previous supporters abandoned him. He was sacked and "discarded" after imprisonment and "the News of the World ship steamed on without him", said Spens. Spens questioned claims by Stuart Kuttner, the former managing editor of the paper and co-defendant in the hacking trial, that he put the supportive arm of the company around Goodman in the months after his arrest. He said Kuttner's visit to Goodman following his release from the police station that August was a "charade" and was a fact-finding mission designed to "pump" him for information about the police's case. Spens said Coulson had a "golden opportunity" to dismiss Goodman after he not only admitted he had broken the Press Complaints Commission code of practice but "admitted to the world that he had committed a criminal offence". He added: "Why didn't Coulson dismiss him? Answer: He couldn't take the risk of upsetting Mr Goodman.". The jury was shown an email from a member of the editorial staff to Coulson about some questions which might be asked that will be difficult to "brush off" in the "long gap" between a potential statement about Goodman pleading guilty and his sentencing. "So this is [the unnamed executive] about what Goodman could say between 28 November and sentencing. He had to be kept in line. " The jury was also reminded of an email from Coulson to a News International executive about a potential press statement to be issued after Goodman's guilty plea. In the first draft Coulson told the executive he would says he would "put in place additional measures" to ensure Goodman's offences were not repeated. Spens said this suggested measures were already in place warning staff hacking was not tolerated. He said Coulson must have realised this as he said in an email sent a minute later that his proposed statement should actually say he had "put in place measures". Spens told the jury that News International increased its severance settlement with Goodman from £50,000 to £140,000 plus legal costs after he launched an appeal against his dismissal. There was a confidentiality clause and the "truth" about the true extent of hacking may "never have seen the light of day" were it not for the judge's decision to allow his charges be heard with Coulson's. "Bad luck to Mr Coulson," Spens said, because it meant Goodman could be asked about hacking. Coulson, Goodman and Kuttner deny all charges against them. The trial continues.

Watergate conspirator Jeb Stuart Magruder's final lie By Roger Stone Published May 27, 2014 FoxNews.com http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/05/27/watergate-conspirator-jeb-stuart-magruder-final-lie/ Jeb Stuart Magruder, the former White House aide who served seven months in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal that forced Richard Nixon to resign from the presidency in 1974, died earlier this month, on May 11. He was 79. Before John Mitchell was scheduled to resign as Attorney General and move to the Committee to Reelect the President, H.R. Haldeman recruited 34-year old Magruder to set up the committee as acting chairman until Mitchell arrived. A cosmetic marketing guy from Southern California, Magruder was impossibly handsome and clean cut, resembling a Ken doll. The old Nixon hands like Nick Ruwe, Charlie McWhorter, and Ron Walker called Jeb Stuart Magruder “Steve Stunning” for his model looks. Everything about Magruder was too perfect. perfect hair, perfect teeth, perfect wife, perfect kids, perfect golf swing, perfect tennis arm, perfect tan, and perfectly polished shoes. Magruder and his family had all-American good looks and he took brown nosing and social climbing to a whole new level. Magruder could be obsequious if you were on the political and social scale above him and an utter jerk if you were on the political or social scale below him. Late one night during the 1972 campaign, I was leaving the CRP headquarters where I worked as the youngest member of the staff, when the elevator stopped on the floor occupied by the senior staff of the 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue building where the campaign was housed and Magruder got on. We both said hello but then rode to the basement garage in silence. Magruder and I walked towards our cars. I was driving a red Volkswagen Bug that had a ‘Reelect the President’ bumper sticker as well as one for the reelection of Congressman Joel T. Broyhill of Virginia. “Is this your car?” Magruder asked. I nodded. “What is this?” he asked, pointing to the Broyhill sticker with his highly polished wingtip. “Get it the f*ck off of there.” He turned and proceeded to his car without further comment. When Watergate came crashing down Magruder would claim that Attorney General John Mitchell approved the Watergate break-in at a meeting in Key Biscayne, Florida. Mitchell and Mitchell Aide Fred LaRue, was was present denied this but that was Magruder's story for thirty years. Despite LaRue and Mitchell's accounts to the contrary, Watergate prosecutors accepted Magruder's testimony. Then, three decades later Magruder went a step further with his account of the Key Biscayne meeting adding the claim of an overheard phone call between the president and the attorney general. According to Magruder, Mitchell called Nixon Aides Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman to discuss the DNC/wiretapping enterprise further. Magruder said that sometime during the call he heard the familiar voice of Nixon on the other end personally giving the order for the break-ins. “John… we need need to get the information on Larry O‘Brien, and the only way we can do that is through Liddy’s plans,” Nixon allegedly told Mitchell. "And I could hear his voice distinctly indicating that he wanted the Liddy plan to go ahead," Magruder added. "And Mitchell got off the phone and said to me: 'Jeb, tell Maurice Stans to give $250,000 to Gordon Liddy and let's see what happens.'" According to John Taylor, executive director of the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda until 2009, Magruder's claim is undoubtedly false. "The White House Daily Diary, which details all the president's meetings and telephone calls, shows that Mr. Ehrlichman did not meet or talk with President Nixon at any time on March 30, 1972," Taylor said. Even John Dean would contradict Magruder's late claim, telling the Associated Press, "I have no reason to doubt that it happened as he describes it, but I have never seen a scintilla of evidence that Nixon knew about the plans for the Watergate break-in or that the likes of Gordon Liddy were operating at the reelection committee." Dean historian Stanley Kutler, an expert on Nixon's White House tapes, called Magruder's allegation "the dubious word of a dubious character." Roger Stone is Fox News contributor. He is a political consultant, strategist, and lobbyist. He has been involved in politics since his teenage and college years, and served as a senior staffer in eight national Republican presidential campaigns including those of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. His forthcoming book "Nixon's Secrets" will be published by Skyhorse Publishing in September.
