CIA Agent Caught Red-Handed Aiding Pakistani Terrorism?
CNN notes:
News
that the American accused of killing two Pakistani men is a CIA
contractor has intensified an already highly charged situation in
Pakistan.
"Raymond Davis is a CIA Guy," read the headline in the Daily Times newspaper Tuesday.
***
Davis
was jailed January 27 after fatally shooting two men who pulled up to
him on a motorcycle in a bustling Lahore neighborhood.
***
The
36-year-old Davis is a former member of the U.S. Army special forces
and had been employed by security firm XE Services, previously known as
Blackwater.
Davis began working for the CIA nearly four years
ago. He was assigned to Pakistan in late 2009. He was living with other
security personnel at a safehouse in Lahore before the shooting
incident.
On Monday, a U.S. government official also said that Davis was a CIA contractor providing security for CIA officers.
The
U.S. at first falsely claimed that Davis was a diplomat with the State
Department and should therefore be granted diplomatic immunity:
Despite
the revelation of Davis' true line of work, U.S. officials on Monday
renewed their argument that he has diplomatic immunity and must be
released.
***
Before Monday, U.S. officials
had described Davis only as an employee who was attached to the U.S.
Embassy in Islamabad and who was working at the U.S. Consulate in
Lahore at the time of the shootings.
But the deeper story is that Davis allegedly actively aided and abetted terrorism. As CNN notes:
Some newspapers cited unnamed sources to link Davis with "terrorist activity" and the Pakistani Taliban.
"CIA agent Davis had ties with local militants," read the headline in The Express Tribune.
The Tribune quoted an unnamed "senior police official" as saying Davis was suspected in masterminding terrorist activity.
"His
close ties with the TTP (The Pakistani Taliban) were revealed during
the investigations," the paper quoted the police official as saying.
"Davis was instrumental in recruiting young people from Punjab for the
Taliban to fuel the insurgency."
The Star explains:
In
a story published Tuesday, the English-language Express Tribune quoted
a Punjabi police official who said Davis was actually working with the
Pakistani Taliban in a bid to stoke insecurity in Pakistan and support
the argument that its cache of nuclear weapons isn’t safe.Call
records of Davis’s cellphone allegedly establish his link to 27
Taliban militants and a sectarian group known as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the
police source said.
Reuters points out
that two other CIA contractors were involved in a fatal car accident
last month while trying to help Davis. Reuters notes, and have now quickly departed
from Pakistan, and notes:
Two U.S. officials confirmed media reports the
two men involved in the fatal accident were working and living in the
same building in Lahore as Davis. They said all three men were working
on similar security assignments for the CIA.
Most dramatically, South Asian news agency ANI reports that - according to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service - Davis was giving nuclear and biowarfare materials to Al-Qaeda:
Double
murder-accused US official Raymond Davis has been found in possession
of top-secret CIA documents, which point to him or the feared American
Task Force 373 (TF373) operating in the region, providing Al-Qaeda
terrorists with "nuclear fissile material" and "biological agents,"
according to a report.
Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is
warning that the situation on the sub-continent has turned "grave" as
it appears that open warfare is about to break out between Pakistan and the United States, The European Union Times reports.
The SVR warned in its report that the apprehension of 36-year-old Davis, who shot dead two Pakistani men in Lahore last month, had fuelled this crisis.
According
to the report, the combat skills exhibited by Davis, along with
documentation taken from him after his arrest, prove that he is a
member of US' TF373 black operations unit currently operating in the
Afghan War Theatre and Pakistan's tribal areas, the paper said.
While
the US insists that Davis is one of their diplomats, and the two men
he killed were robbers, Pakistan says that the duo were ISI agents sent
to follow him after it was discovered that he had been making contact
with al Qaeda, after his cell phone was tracked to the Waziristan
tribal area bordering Afghanistan, the paper said.
The most ominous point in this SVR report is "Pakistan's ISI stating
that top-secret CIA documents found in Davis's possession point to his,
and/or TF373, providing to al Qaeda terrorists "nuclear fissile
material" and "biological agents", which they claim are to be used
against the United States itself in order to ignite an all-out war in
order to re-establish the West's hegemony over a Global economy that is
warned is just months away from collapse," the paper added.
However, ANI's allegations are uncorroborated at this time, and it is unknown whether Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service said anything of the sort.
See this, this, this, this and this for background.

The only disinfo comes from you GW you American
hating douchebag!
If you dislike his posts, then stop reading them. I grow tired of reading your hate.
Am I anti-American? I don't think so. But, if believing in free speech and real democracy is anti-American, then I guess I am. If believing that a government should not lie endlessly is anti-American, then I guess I am. If believing that a government should not spy on its own citizens is anti-American, then I guess I am. If believing that a government should not kidnap, torture and murder is anti-American, then I guess I am. If believing that a government shouldn't slaughter millions of innocent people simply to further enrich the same old handful of psychopathic bastards and their offspring is anti-American, then I guess I am.
This wants that people who act in a fashion diametrically opposed to the values which America claims to represent follow the American way (which includes duplicity, as people do not have to be honest on their ways)
Not behaving in such a way is un-american.
In the gang mindset that prevails in the American way, underlining the way the Americans behave is anti-american (can be depicted as factual report though, but not in a US citizens mindset context) It is part of the American way package.
Not behaving in the American way, being unamerican is not a defect.
No David you are not un-American, in fact you are a a patriot in the true sense of the word, when I have engaged discussions with people about current events related to this topic and start to get a look, eyes roll, head shakes, uncomfortable body language, I ask them if they have ever read Neil Sheehans book A Bright Shinning Lie, if they have not, I implore them to read it and then come back to me and we will talk more, but not until.
Dapper Dan:
I am about as un-ameriKlan as one can get.
Consider myself more of a Humanist... never did buy into that patriot crap.
Been out of there, an ex-pat for over 40 years ... did not even go back for my parents' funerals... but that is another long story.
A Bright Shinning Lie about sez it all.
Thanks for the kind response.
hat's off to you sir!

"A Bright Shinning Lie about sez it all."
lt col JPV....a great soldier, a great american...a great human being..........
My my my... you used the d-bag word.
Personally I have decided it is high time to clean my vocab up a touch. And by extension I guess I must be guilty of spreading disinformation as well since I also have contradicted words printed and spoken by the Administration and/or MSM.
Let's just be a little more specific and less ad-hom next time shall we?
Thanks for the comment. I'll look to sign up as well...
True Americans who love our country will fight to protect her from false flag attacks that would destroy her. Period.
I love the smell of fissile material in the morning. Smells like...victory.
More like Neutrons actually...
Mission Impossible - Blog Comment Version.
IMF Commander: Mr. Davis, your mission is to establish contact with Al-Qaeda, using fabricated secret WMD documents as bait to attract the interest of high value targets. You will entice them to a monitored kill zone, where they will be neutralized by our drone assets. The U.S. Embassy and Pakistani do not know of your mission, and local elements of Pakistan’s ISI may be allied with Al-Qaeda. If you are compromised, we will disavow any knowledge of your identity and mission. This blog comment will self destruct in 10 seconds. Good luck.
IMF Agent Davis: Can I carry a gun for self protection?
IMF Commander: Use your discretion. It’s your neck on the line.
Probably closest to the truth, given that the US police state excels at framing people/groups in order to pad their stats (and generate business with the military-industrial-prison complex).
If the Russians say it, it must be true.
And whatever you hear is false...
James Risen found himself in hot water for writing a book which contained details about how the CIA sold blueprints for making a nuclear bomb to IRAN of all people. He detailed how they modified the equations somewhat, thinking this would render the plans useless, discounting the fact mathematical experts might be able to figure this out.
The plan was to expose Iran for trying to build a nuclear weapon, even though the US was using their favorite technique, entrapment, to do it.
There is nothing the Powers will not do in order to establish or re-establish their hegemony, including killing millions of people. We just don't matter to them. In fact, we're nuisances.
Once upon a tim the US was actively trying to get the Iranians to build nuclear power plants. And no days you hear nothing but chants of war as Iran is actually doing so.
When the US can't get contracts for its corporations then it's saber rattling... fascism, oh what fun!
GW,
I wish you haven't blown your credbility with your previous articles.
Now I don't know what to think!
I think you should stop being so lazy.
You have the worlds best truth finding tool at your fingertips.
well said
Yes the Blackwater development is a disgusting new twist in the game provoked by men who evidently don't want to know what the words : ethics, responsibility, accountability mean in international relations. Nobody wants to bite the bullet. Nobody has the gall to say the buck stops right here... It's open market fellas and everything goes. No holds barred and may the devil take the hindmost... How can you moralise in the UN when you are tarred with this brush? Shades of the 2003 UN debate on WMD in Iraq...Blair's big shilly-shalling raising 10 billion USD for Afghanistan (in 2004?), to no effect, except to fuel the drug trade parabolically sky high under Karzai! Brave new world.
The ends justify the means. "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!" -- B. Goldwater. Unfortunately for the proletariat/sheep Barry's owners are the ones that get to define "justice" and "liberty". When the sheep is in the mutton stew, he no longer bleats so loudly, especially if the Flock Owner also controls the media and the historian.
The Anglo-American Power Elite/Flock Owners aren't too concerned how many sheep get slaughtered to maintain their control. They know they can always steal someone else's sheep and besides, sheep breed quickly if they're properly encouraged to do so.
Speaking from the viewpoint of a sheep though, this policy is not so attractive.
I call bullshit on the russian claim.
They have lost so much fisile material they would love to confuse the issue when the dirty bomb goes off.
It is the truth - simple as that. Guess the CIA is finally getting caught.
I won't believe it until its in the National Enquirer.
..."But the deeper story is that Davis allegedly actively aided and abetted terrorism...."
goddamned right he was....the cia is the sponsor and catalyst for world terrorism.....read fletcher prouty's stories about how the cia instigated the vietnam war (to say nothing of philipines insurrections) nothwithstanding that there were already troubles there before the cia arrived....it reveals the usa's deep involvement in criminal murderous activities.....it has continued unabaited despite the church committee....read confessions of an economic hitman to see the cia's financial operations.....
the cia and military have moved to privateers because they think that they can evade laws which apply only to the military....
"...to say nothing of philipines..."
1902
The U.S. establishes concentration camps in the Philippines. Eventually, hundreds of thousands of Filipinos will be held captive in the camps and thousands will die in them.
American troops commit countless war crimes and atrocities, systematically destroying everything outside the so-called “dead lines”, including crops, boats, animals, houses, farm buildings and human beings.
Property belonging to the concentration camp inmates is stolen. U.S. troops enslave Filipinos, particularly those of Chinese descent, as forced labor.
Torture is standard American procedure.
The so-called water cure was very widely used by the U.S. in its war against the people of the Philippines.
Other beneficiaries of "benevolent assimilation" were hanged by the thumbs, dragged by horses or hung with fires then started beneath them.
A favorite American torture was tying a victim to a tree and shooting him or her through the legs. The victim was shot again each day until either he "confessed" or died.
American troops routinely murdered wounded Filipinos and bragged of "taking no prisoners".
Official reports claimed that fifteen Filipinos were killed by the U.S. for every one wounded, almost the inverse of the norm.
General Arthur McArthur, never one to miss an opportunity for a racist comment, explained the unsual death/wounded ratio by saying that whites do not succumb to wounds as readily as people of "inferior races."
"The war in the Philippines has been conducted by the American army with scrupulous regard for the rules of civilized warfare, with careful and genuine consideration for the prisoner and the non-combatant, with self-restraint, and with humanity never surpassed."
Elihu Root, U.S. Secretary of War
Root, highly paid shyster for some of the most ruthless Americans in history including William "Boss" Tweed and robber barons Jay Gould and E. H. Harriman was, not surprisingly, a little flexible when it came to matters of truth.
Awesome recital...father and son got the congressional...both so loved the Philippines... The MacArthurs, alike Teddy Roosevelt & Teddy Jr, were 'congressionals' for proud services rendered, obviously brave soldiers. Kermit Jr, the grandson, of course was instigator of 'Operation Ajax' and poor Mossadegh's removal...Oh Roosevelt!
I guess the possibility he was talking to the opposition political parties isnt a paranoid enough explanation for you guys.
that's cause one side is always good and the other side is always bad, right?

It seems there are much simpler ways of acheiving the hypothetical outcome. Too easy for this to be true.
Governments ADMIT That They Carry Out False Flag Terror
I'm not saying false flag ops never happen, but "If it's too bad to be true, it could be DISINFORMATION." Moreover, it is likely that most black market offers to sell nukes are exercises in entrapment. This is something the people seeking to buy know very well, but there is no propaganda benefit for the average person being informed about this because it might make them feel safe. We know the local police are hungry to catch a CIA agent because everyone detests the drones. By all accounts, the ISI is a multi-headed rogue monster, so who knows what really was happening. That the CIA and ISI collaborate is bad craziness, but they deserve each other. If Pakistan lets him go, the ISI will retaliate tit for tat. Now that his cover is blown, he is out of a job, and no longer useful, so he will be very lucky get out alive.
So fucking what. Like that's a revelation everyone with a fuctioning brain hasn't figued out already?
You rehash stuff people intuitively know already.
Let me guess. You next rant will be:
"Now Proven, Wall Street Is Corrupt!"
Great, click the link and read all of the articles
about shit that happened 50 years ago!
what difference would it make if it happened 50 years ago? Does that mean it doesn't still occur? What makes you think we are above it now?
Did evolution STOP when we grew thumbs?
"...shit that happened 50 years ago!"
1950s: SOUTHEAST ASIA.
Following the usual pattern, the leaders of the "Nationalist Chinese" army, organized by the CIA to wage war against the government of China, become the opium barons of The Golden Triangle (parts of Burma, Thailand and Laos), the world's largest source of opium and heroin.
Always eager to give a boost to private enterprise, Air America, the CIA's own airline, delivers the drugs all over Southeast Asia.
1950s: UNITED STATES.
James Jesus Angleton, CIA counter-intelligence chief who, as an OSS operative, had arranged the escape of Mussolini's money man, Justo Valerio Borghese from Italian resistance fighters following World War Two, shows some photographs to John Weitz, another former OSS agent.
The photographs show FBI Director J. "Edna" Hoover performing fellatio on his main squeeze, FBI Assistant Director Clyde Tolson.
In 1967, Angleton shows the same photos to a CIA-connected electronics expert, Gordon Novel. According to Novel, the photos were used, among other things, to blackmail Hoover into complying with CIA directions regarding the "investigation" of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
On the Angleton issue : Great movie by Robert de Niro : The Company, showing the formation of 'all the kings horses and all the king's men, the best and the brightest, the skull and bones brigade'. We can even hear the bells chiming in Leopoldville (Kinshasa) where the Company took out Lumumba and installed the great Ponzi of Mobutu. Great stuff of the 1960's. Allen Dulles, key player in the great game. One of the four horsemen of the American Apocalypse : Joe McCarthy, J.Edgar Hoover (the inside 'defense' team), John Foster & Allen Dulles (the outside 'offense' team). Great game that led Eisenhower to say what he did about the 'military industrial complex' and Curtis B Lemay iconised the man who wanted to Nuke Vietnam, after wanting to Nuke Berlin/Moscow.
Well the other Bones Man James Buckley put it all together nicely : the great communist menace ideology, the conservative creed, the libertarian philosophy, to give us his dream leader Ronald Reagan (tricky Dickie was a nice first try that went sour). And then the great american spiel of all spiels : Reaganomics, fireworks in the inflated asset FIRE economy to socialise the losses and privatise the gains. We're home and dry now. The 1% own it all, and WOW even the Stalin boys are jealous of how Jefferson's land is now the great new world state who runs it all from the new Kremlin on the Potomac. Brave new world...
true dat, I'm referring to the logistics. Why not just turn a tribal stink bomb and leave a "crudely designed device" unattended. Shit, skip all the variables and have a disgruntled ex-con do it. The whole Pakistan connection could be fabricated. IMO that would be more likely.
"Oh what a tangled web we weave....."
Where's Jack Bauer to sort all this out?
This dude IS Jack mmmkay? "Rogue elements" in the ISI sent three assassins to whack this fellow because he had more than 27 phone numbers. I guess they now know they should have sent more than three.

LOL, I was just thinking that...
GW, you're gonna be big enough for the Alex Jones show someday, I'm sure of it.
Unlike the apprehended miscreant, jack bauer is fiction.
Propaganda to sell torture fiction.
Propaganda to sell torture porn.
Listen, I am sure this guy is no angel. But I will tell you something I know for certain having followed this region for 20 years. Don't accept as true what you read in Pakistani Newspapers (I use the term news very loosely), from Russians and from the ISI. Mix it all with the CIA and you have one big cesspool of twisted reality.
