Frank Wizner's FATHER was the CIA OPERATIVE INVOLVED WITH OVERTHROW in IRAN, Gautemala, in 1950's!

[KoKo]

Remember when over this past weekend Hillary Clinton and later Obama came out against Frank Wizener's being sent as spokesperson/envoy for State and Obama? Turns out Wizner's Father is BIG CIA OPERATIVE.

So...that Obama and Hillary Pushed Back makes sense given that they had "fingers crossed" that MEDIA OVER THE WORLD would NEVER connect the dots between Frank Wizner Jr. and Frank Wizner, Senior who was a FIXER our Foreign Policy under both BUSH I, Clinton and BUSH II! MEET THE SAME OLD.. FIXERS BROUGHT IN ...DYNASTIES!

THIS IS A MUST WATCH! for BACKGROUND!

"The Empire’s Bagman:" Obama Egypt Envoy Frank Wisner Says Mubarak Should Stay


The official U.S. response to events unfolding in Egypt remains mixed. Over the weekend, the Obama administration distanced itself from U.S. “crisis envoy” to Egypt Frank Wisner after he issued a statement in support of President Hosni Mubarak. Revealing a possible conflict of interest, British journalist Robert Fisk recently reported Wisner works for the law firm Patton Boggs, which openly boasts that it advises "the Egyptian military, the Egyptian Economic Development Agency, and has handled arbitrations and litigation on the government’s behalf in Europe and the U.S." We are joined by Trinity College Professor Vijay Prashad, who has written about Wisner’s history with the U.S. Department of State and his close relationship with Mubarak.

1. Studies have shown that Democracy Now! listeners are more cynical..

...than the population at large.

Maybe in another dimension there is an opposite world where Amy Goodman is a nightly network news anchorwoman.

:banghead:

2. I feel your pain on this.......and other.....

:banghead:

My hope is that someone will take this post revised out onto DU "GD" or "GD Presidential." I think those folks need to know about this. But, I have only one post and that's here in Editorials...and this news about Wizner's Father had to come from an ARAB NEWS SITE and NOT USA!

It's disgusting!

:banghead: ...I don't know what else to say that this has been concealed from those who watch the Cables and News we pay so dearly for in our dwindling funds.

It's, indeed, a NEW WORLD where VOICES ARE CRYING OUT! Whatever.....

3. Might you have meant "skeptical" instead?

Are the referenced studies actual or just figmental? Or is the sarcasm tag missing? Cynical minds need to know. (oops, bad PBS program...)

[Webster Green]

4. Perhaps "skeptical" works better. I'm both.

It's a personal study from a daily listener (me).

Throw in a few other Pacifica shows like 'Flashpoints', 'Guns & Butter', and 'Uprising', and you're really screwed.

5. Nice catch. n/t

6. The straight face saying "This is an ideal moment for him to show the way forward"

has to be a pinnacle of showmanship, of illusion, of manufacturing consent.. Imagine that you've been president for 30 years, you are surrounded by a million angry protestors, their top demand is for you to step down, the worldwide media wonders when...and up pops a happy face touting your 60 years of service and claiming that "This is an ideal moment for you to show the way forward".

It's IDEAL, man. This is your IDEAL moment.

Of all the phrases that might come out of someone's mouth, IDEAL is laughably inappropriate, yet somehow the US's policy thugs deliver their lines with a straight face. Wow. I stand in awe of the imagination at work behind such statements.

7. How was Frank Wisner Sr a "fixer" for Bush I etc when he died in 1965 ?

So...that Obama and Hillary Pushed Back makes sense given that they had "fingers crossed" that MEDIA OVER THE WORLD would NEVER connect the dots between Frank Wizner Jr. and Frank Wizner, Senior who was a FIXER our Foreign Policy under both BUSH I, Clinton and BUSH II! MEET THE SAME OLD.. FIXERS BROUGHT IN ...DYNASTIES!

Eh, no. Frank Sr committed suicide in 1965 with a shotgun. But maybe he faked it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Wisner

He is supposedly buried at Arlington so you could dig the body up and see if it really is him. I am guessing you would need a court order for that though and that might be a tad difficult to get as tinfoil hat conspiracy theories would not be sufficient grounds.

8. Google Frank Wisner and Reinhard Gehlen.

Read The Secret History of the CIA by Joseph J. Trento. Wisner Sr. was instrumental in getting the OSS through Allen Dulles to provide protection for thousands of high-ranking Nazis. Gehlen's Branch 12 organization of Foreign Armies East was turned into a US-controlled intelligence asset that in 1956 became the intelligence service for the new West German government.
