Scott Armstrong, Michael Tigar, Amy Goodman & George Soros And Democracy Now,

... The Strong Bond That Unites Armstrong, Tigar & Democracy Now!

Another task that is a must for a thorough analysis in order to get down to the agenda is identifying the actors involved in information, or in this case, misinformation delivery. I did exactly that. And, I found a common bond tying all the participants of this misinformation campaign broadcasted by Democracy Now! 


Here we go:  Scott Armstrong~~
Amy Goodman sitting next to/ Scott Armstrong
Allow me to introduce him via his bios presented by Amy Goodman [All Emphasis Mine]:
 
    Scott Armstrong, a journalist formerly with The Washington Post who has closely followed the case. He is founder and former executive director of the National Security Archives and former chairperson of the Government Accountability Project.
 

   I really don’t have to elaborate on his position with one of the most disreputable mainstream outlets in the country. Do I? I didn’t think so.

Okay, let’s move to the National Security Archives founded by Armstrong. For years and years, Armstrong’s business (yeh, they call it nonprofit; whatever!), has been one of George Soros’ top recipients of large sums. In 2010, only for one year, he received $650,000 from Mr. Soros.  Are you with me so far? Good. Let’s continue:

Mr. Armstrong is also with the Government Accountability Project (GAP). Lo and behold, GAP is also one of Mr. Soros’ top recipients of chunky sums. They have been receiving yearly generous funds from Soros for many years. For that same year (above), GAP received $600,000 from George Soros.
There are several other very direct and intimate ties between Mr. Armstrong and George Soros, but let’s move to our other actors in this staged story.

Democracy Now!


Let’s get down to it by using well-documented and sourced information on Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzalez, and the stage called Democracy Now! [All Emphasis Mine]:

Serious questions have arisen about how Democracy Now!, begun and developed with the resources of Pacifica Radio and grants from the Carnegie Corporation, the Ford Foundation, the J.M. Kaplan Fund and others, suddenly became independent and the effective property of Amy Goodman without recompense to Pacifica. This transfer apparently included valuable assets such as trademarks, ownership of years of archived programs, affiliate station access, and more. In a contract that remains secret, Amy Goodman is also receiving $1 million per year for a five-year period that began in 2002, according to Pacifica Treasurer Jabari Zakiya, to continue doing what has become Pacifica’s flagship morning news program. This is more than double Goodman’s officially stated stipend of $440,000 per year from Pacifica Radio. Democracy Now! receives indirect funding from George Soros, and direct funding from the Ford Foundation, the Glaser Foundation, Soros’ Open Society Institute…

By the way, Amy Goodman has this in common with these people:

    Prominent journalists like ABC’s Christiane Amanpour and former Washington Post editor and now Vice President Len Downie serve on boards of operations that take Soros cash. This despite the Society of Professional Journalists’ ethical code stating: ”avoid all conflicts real or perceived.”


Everyone knows that Goodman and her stage, Democracy Now!, has received millions and millions of dollars from Gorge Soros directly. Of course, no one knows how much exactly, because, Democracy Now is never available to answer that question when asked:

    Just that one Soros-funded operation is heard ”on over 900 stations, pioneering the largest community media collaboration in the United States.” But it posts no formal audience numbers. Phone calls to ”Democracy Now!” were not returned.


Michael Tigar & Scott McCellan, S. McCellan testifying Re: Valarie Plame
Michael Tigar

Tigar is introduced by Goodman as Michael Tigar, the renowned attorney, law professor and author, who is representing Rick Bourke. You’d think as an academic and attorney he’d be outside Soros’ sphere, right? Well, no!

Mr. Tigar’s program(s) and work is also being funded, even partially, by George Soros. Soros-funded “Institute for Policy Studies” gives mouthwatering generous sums to Duke Law.

Mr. Tigar is known, even by the mainstream media, as one of the most theatrical attorneys in the country. Based on his performance, and that fact he was hired by Bourke, I’d say he must be!


Now I know there is such a thing called coincidence. I am even aware of this notion called ‘the law of coincidences.’ But come on! We have four participants in this staged show, and every one of them receives George Soros money, and is highly connected to him. Would you call this simple coincidence? If you do, then consider this:

For years and years, George Soros has been directly funding the opposition in … you guessed it, Azerbaijan!

    Are George Soros’ Billions Compromising U.S. Foreign Policy?


    George Soros is rich enough to buy his own foreign policy, but is it wise to let him have one? Soros’ strange pattern of investments and gifts, especially in the former-Soviet states of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, amounts to a personal foreign policy.

    Soros has also funded opposition parties in Azerbaijan, Belarus, Croatia, Georgia, and Macedonia, helping them into either power or prominence. All of these countries were once Russian allies. Of course, Soros doesn’t work alone…
 

    Soros is actively working to leverage his influence to support Samir Sharifov, perhaps by promoting another “Rose Revolution.”… Azerbaijan officials openly wonder if Soros is freelancing or acting with the approval, spoken or unspoken, of the State department and White House in support of Azerbajan’s Sharifov. Actually, they wonder only as a matter of politeness. They think they know the answer and that Soros is doing Obama’s bidding.

    If you read the breathless Russian press coverage of Soros, you’d think Glenn Beck was a decaffeinated moderate. Consider the Russian press coverage of Azerbaijan president Aliyev’s visit with Soros in New York in 2004 ....


Do I have to elaborate on Soros’ role and objectives and dirty games in Azerbaijan and the rest of Central Asia and Caucasus?

As for his investment in the region, specifically those directly linked to Azerbaijan, oil and pipeline-stan? Who are his partners? Let’s see if you recognize any of them:

    According to Clark, Soros’ International Crisis Group “boasts such ‘independent’ luminaries as the former national security advisers Zbigniew Brzezinki and Richard Allen, as well as General Wesley Clark, once NATO supreme allied commander for Europe. The group’s vice-chairman is the former congressman Stephen Solarz, once described as ‘the Israel lobby’s chief legislative tactician on Capitol Hill’ and a signatory, along with the likes of Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz, … Who are Soros’s business partners at the Carlyle Group—one of the world’s largest private equity funds, which makes most of this profit from defense contracts? They include the former secretary of state James Baker and Frank Carlucci, former defense secretary, George Bush, Sr, and “until recently, the estranged relatives of Osama Bin Laden.” Soros has invested more than $100 million in Carlyle, Clark tells us.

Isn’t it interesting how the most important figures involved in corruption, bribery, sabotage and black-mail, and even assassination in Azerbaijan are not mentioned, name-dropped, by Goodman, González, Tigar, Armstrong, or Bourke himself?! Yeh, I say, it is very interesting. Knowing what I know, 1996-2001 operators were pretty much limited to actors not mentioned in Amy Goodman’s staged exposé.

And finally, not trying to show off or anything, I consider myself, to a certain extent, an expert on whistleblowers and whistleblowing. Drawn from being one for 12-years, having the only whistleblowers-only organization, having known hundreds of government whistleblowers mainly from intelligence and law enforcement agencies, in addition to years of research and writing about them … Well, I am some sort of an expert, if you may. With that, let me tell you something:

This convicted crook multi-millionaire, Rick Bourke, is anything but a whistleblower. This entire staged saga, with all its participants, down to the mainstream media operators showcasing it, is nothing but a massive setup geared towards some dirty objectives pursued by the Intelligence community, and of course, the real business moguls.

If you really want to know what this story is about you will have to wait. Wait until you hear some news about the latest warming relationship between Russia-Azerbaijan. Or wait until you hear about some extradition being issued for some Russian intelligence or businessman figure by the U.S. government. Or until you see the next blows thrown from the United States towards Russia with intentions of getting even with Putin on the latest … Or…Meanwhile, consider yourself to a large degree wizened by seeing the CIA-Mega Business interest misinformation operation via outlets marketed as independent and alternative!
