23 September 2010. Add Kushner message.

7 September 2010

Cryptome purchased today for $30 a copy of the the journal of Intelligence and National Security article referenced by Dr. Kushner: http://cryptome.org/0002/kushner-douglas.zip (802KB. No commercial use.).

The withdrawn allegedly forged article can be seen here, dated 4 September 2010: http://tbrnews.org/wordpress/

Cryptome had dealings with "Gregory Douglas" in 2000: http://cryptome.org/cia-2619.htm

We have read several works by Douglas and find them as entertaining as earnest spy "garbage" by scholars, official spies and the spy industry which charge much more for promoting expensive agendas (tuition, taxes, contracts, war deaths, $30 for an article). Whether "Douglas" is also a paid promoter is unknown but he sells books like the professionals -- chockfull of elaborate schemes, threats, betrayals and deceptions, mixing fact and fiction in accord with the day's means and methods. Cryptome does not authenticate, that is left to readers and authoritatives with hands out.

Israel vs the United States and Iran a Forgery

This is not me. It is an idiot with a million aliases, most recently "Walter Storch" of TBR News. He is retaliating for an article authored by me along with Mohan Srivastava and Tom Kimmel in the August, 2009 issue of "Journal of Intelligence and National Security" which proved the same idiot, who was using the alias "Gregory Douglas" had forged a particular WWII conversation transcript.

This idiot is notorious for writing garbage and putting other people's names on it.

Hi John;

Thank you for straightening out the hoax regarding my "authorship".

I just found a website (yours?) that prints your retraction but credits me as being "Head of University of Texas Mathematics Department". This title is more Storch bs. When at UT, I was simply a local lecturer.

If you would like to read a little more on this fraud, please examine my new website "www.tbrnewsbullshit.com" .

Thanks;

Phil
