Roald Dahl: Spies Like Us (And The Rest.)

“I had to show a birth certificate to get my passport and I show my kids certificates to enroll them in school. If he has no valid certificate, then how did he accomplish those tasks?” 

What do you know about Roald Dahl? 

British novelist? Short story writer? Screenwriter? Well he was all of those but for a brief while he was a spy working in Washington, and I think part of what he was doing was discrediting isolationist types. He was srewing some rich guys wife as well as part of the deal. The things you do for King and Country. 

But he came pretty late to that job after suffering an injury as a pilot. Britain had a whole network of agents of influence trying to get you into the war and discrediting Americans who were more concerned with the lives of American lads, and who wanted to sit that one out. 

So the British were influential in Washington. But the Soviet influence would have dwarfed that. Now note that both these outfits could easily mock up any dodgy paperwork that can be imagined. 

Ever since then it is the case, and has to be the case, that foreign countries send people to America to spy on you, and to try and influence you. Even your friends. It is pointless being reflexively shy about this sort of influence. Its pointless to rule out conspiracy and be EMBARRASSED about conspiracy. After all embarrassment is only fear. And we are grown-ups now and must exercise control over many of our fears. 

Subjectively speaking the Sauds seem to have exercised immense influence in Washington over the last few years. And earlier than that Israel did seem to have quite a lot of influence. But I say that in the same spirit as pointing out that the British wielded this sort of regime-based influence in the lead-up to your involvement in the war. But really its better if you can isolate yourselves from all this trickery, sort out truth from falsehood, and act decently but in your own national interests. 

It was by no means in Americas self-interest to get involved in World War II in the way that she did and a more Reaganesque policy would have been better in keeping with your authentic self-interest. 

Now the thing is this. No global movement every put over so much of this sort of black ops influence as did the various communist countries. Communism was a movement awash in conspiracy and dirty tricks. 

The Soviet Union kept its head above water on a steady diet of American food that came out of farm subsidies and were sold to them via loan guarantees that were never paid out. How did they do this? How can we assess how much of the perversity of this American behaviour was due to spontaneous bureaucratic stupidity and how much was the careful influence exercised via domestic operators? 

How about the weapons technology. The leaking of weapons secrets which brought America technology to the Soviets to such an extent that the Pentagon was competing with itself all that time? How much of this is due to enemy action? From people planted in your country? And how frequent do you imagine was the use of dodgy paperwork? 

Any regime can put together documentation and a great chunk of the worlds regimes will be operating within your country. 

So once we see that the young Barrack Hussein Obama was bundled up with a communist terrorist movement then all bets are off and anything is possible. 

Bill Ayers was underground for many years. He brought up kids. He got by. He had a support network no doubt? Imagine yourself bringing up kids and getting by? Would it not take some sort of documentation and some sort of support network? 

How did Bill Ayers send his kids to school when he was underground? If indeed he did? In a court of law we presume innocence until guilt is proven. But in matters of this sort we must presume regime assistance until we know for sure that this is not the case. 

Once you are bundled up with Bill Ayers and the weather-underground all bets are off and it is up to us not to be silly about this and to suspect the worst. 

Thats a whole network there. An whole infrastructure. A whole set of introductions even as they look for an attractive young man with prospects. Even as they introduce him to the right beautiful young marxist girl from a rich family. 

Naturally I’m extrapolating there. But Jack Cashill has already determined, through textual analysis and other contextual evidence, that Bill Ayers was ghost-writer for Obama’s memoir. 

In view of the speed with which it has been shown that a determined network can insert their people into high places there is nothing here that can be ruled out. 

“I had to show a birth certificate to get my passport and I show my kids certificates to enroll them in school. If he has no valid certificate, then how did he accomplish those tasks?” 

In one of those two cases Michelle could have easily filled in the forms one would think.
