My name is Robert Steele. I am an unemployed spy turned do-gooder who in passing has become the #1 Amazon reviewer for non-fiction, reading in 98 categories, with 1831 in-depth reviews (My actual library was close to 4,000 volumes, I gave 1,000 to the local library and 3,000 to George Mason University).
I’ve got time on my hands and certainly appreciate Reddit from when its front page turned someone else’s six minute video of me
into a hot YouTube item. Also an eleven-minute interview by Warren Pollock on my new book, THE OPEN SOURCE EVERYTHING MANIFESTO: Transparency, Truth & Trust. Picking up where the book stops, I publish a free online round-up at 2200 Eastern every day, OPEN SOURCE EVERYTHING HIGHLIGHTS, twitter hash #openall. So go ahead AMA!—I am committed to short serious answers that will be useful.
What, in your opinion, is the biggest cover-up by the CIA that the general public should know about? What are five books a person should read in order to be “well-informed” in a variety of issues? If you could assassinate one person over the last 100 years (besides hitler, stalin, or the other big. dicts) who would it be?
HOOOOO! Now we get to the good stuff.
CIA has lacked intelligence and integrity for a very long time, but I believe that its role in both the JFK assassination (not CIA itself but key people in CIA), and the cover up of the JFK assassination, was a turning point in history. The extreme wealthy realized they could not only kill a president, but get away with it. Every president since then has been led around by the balls and Obama, a smart man, was very quick to become house-broken–never mind that he got $750M of which $300M has still not been accounted for.
Do not read five books, read reviews of 500 books, use Scoop It, and follow Howard Rheingold’s stuff on both staying informed and on crap detection. If I answer your third question I can legitimately be investigated by the Secret Service, which is really pissed off about being part of DHS, and the last thing I want to do is get them interested in me.
Let me just say that of all the people I will not grieve for when they die of natural causes, Henry Kissinger and Dick Cheney are among them. [–]
Well to be quite honest I am sure this thread has already piqued their interest. What are your thoughts on the 9/11 conspiracies?[–]robert_steele
It is not a conspiracy if it is true. There is absolutely no question about the following:
01) 9/11 has not been honestly or thoroughly investigated. 02) FBI had two walk-ins in advance, and nine countries warned us in advance. 03) Dick Cheney scheduled the nation-wide counterterrorism exercise that allowed him to control entire US Government on “the day,” MONTHS IN ADVANCE 04) Pentagon was hit by a missile 05) WTC 7 (which held all the SEC files on on-going investgations) was not hit by anything 06) All scientific evidence points to controlled demolitions and possibly some pulverizing form of mini-nuclear energy laser combination–steel beams every 14 inches do not pulverize nor even “give” 07) Highly likely the controlled media was a party to the conspiracy. 08) Give me Larry Silverstein, Rudy Guliani, and Dick Cheney for 90 days in the isolated comfort of Guantanamo, and I will give you the truth

So what do you think the ultimate purpose of the attacks were? I believe that the following common interests were in alignment
01) Dick Cheney wanted a Pearl Harbor so he could lead the telling of 935 now-documented lies that would take us into a 3 trillion dollar war and get Bush reelected so Cheney could continue to be the SHOGUN
02) Larry Silvertein had an asbestos problem he could not fix, and very likely an insurance company partnership happy to oblige when the Mossad clued Larry and AIG and Goldman Sachs into the forthcoming false flag attack.
03) AIG, Goldman Sachs, and many others on Wall Street were under severe pressure from SEC investigatons that could have prevented the economic melt-down from deregulation being legitimized by a corrupt US Senate, a corrupt US House, and a corrupt US White House (Clinton let Rubin destroy the US economy)
04) The Pentecostalists in the Pentagon were ready to do “whatever it takes” to take the US to war against the Arabs on behalf of Israel — seven countries in five years see the Wes Clark video
05) Israel was eager to get the US deep into the Middle Eastern quagmire and so on. I would love to be able to create a war-room and mobilize the nation to actually investigate this stuff, there are at least 100 people I would like to put into benign interrogation.
