'60 Minutes': Summer 2009 Communiqués to Service the Ubiquity
of Diplomacy and Help the Coalition Achieve Stated Objectives

Just because it was the summer break and ‘60 Minutes’ producers aren’t airing new episodes doesn’t mean full court press diplomacy takes a vacation. As has been the case every June to September since 2006, they and their crack team of investigative journalists re-script the introductions to embed messages that keep the Chinada threat and Canada’s complicity in the diplomatic back-channel limelight.
As was argued in mid-2006, one can tell there’s some significant to real serious important going on when ’60 Minutes’ broadcasts a segment on an issue. And there are historic and gargantuan ramifications for American security and/or world peace and prosperity when producers high profile a matter in virtually each and every segment non-stop for years.
Running the coalition story in almost every segment in every episode since the spring of ‘06 is unprecedented and will likely remain a record until the next global menace emerges; perhaps in the 22nd century.
When summer re-runs began, producers continued the tradition of slightly re-writing segment introductions; but only to make their public audience aware that what they are about to watch is a re-broadcast. That created the opportunity to insert new or reiterate standard communiqués to continue generating diplomatic ubiquity and drive home that the coalition is going to achieve all its objectives.
June 7 – Scott Pelley: the election of the Custodian Chief Executive; the Custodian-in-Council deconstructing and reconstituting Canada’s economy to comply with democratic and free market principles; another initiative to service his international persona
[0:14: 60 MM] Bernanke is the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the federal reserve system. [...] [0:29: 60 MM] The Federal Reserve controls the economy, primarily by setting interest rates. [...] [0:46: 60 MM] Ben Bernanke may be the most important Fed Chairman in history. The question is 'can he lead America out of this deep recession, and when?'.
-------------------------------------
June 14 – Steve Kroft: Custodian Chief’s status as principal victim of and witness to Canada’s non-transparent governance and China de facto governance and militarization, including the institutionalization of enslaving human experimentation, torture and deprivation
The one person who knows the most [2:56: 60 MM] and is willing to talk about it is [X] – the man who figured out Madoof's scheme before anyone else.
-------------------------------------
June 21 – Anderson Cooper: Canada’s gangster-style and serial human rights abusing governance
Tonight we take you to a place [0:09: Taylor-60 MM] where kidnappings, torture and brutal beheadings are common. We're talking about Mexico.
-------------------------------------
June 21 – Steve Kroft: coalition confidentiality; the Custodian Chief may be one person, but he’s got the coalition’s combined political power, wealth and military might; he’s a multi-billionaire in waiting
[60 MM] If you've never seen Lebron James play basketball, you've certainly seen him in television commercials or on the cover of national magazines. [0:09: Rooney M.] According to no less authority than the Harvard Business school Lebron James is the third biggest name in the sports world. [...] [0:22: 60 MM] As we said when we first broadcast this story last March it already feels like Lebron has been around for a long time. [...] [0:35: 60 MM] His team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, lists him as playing the position of 'small forward', which is a bit of a misnomer since he's big enough to be an NFL linebacker – only much quicker. He [0:45: 60M-Staul M.] also wants to be the first billion dollar sports brand.
-------------------------------------
June 28 – Leslie Staul: enslaving human experimentation leading to stealth cognition technologies, loss of cognitive privacy
The contents of our thoughts are own: private, secret, unknowable by anyone else – until now, that is. [0:22: 60 MM - Staul M.] As we first reported in January neuroscience research into how we think and what we're thinking is advancing at a stunning rate [60 MM] making it possible for the first time in human history to peer directly into the brain and read out the physical make-up of our thoughts; some would say to read our minds.
-------------------------------------
June 28 – Steve Kroft: Canada’s extreme nepotism-patronage exclusion, democracy-adverse power consolidation, economy monopolization and wealth plundering headed by a tiny political and corporate elite; confirmation there were independent assessments made of Fiefdom treatise findings and U.S. government intel
[0:00: 60 MM] In the wild wild west when a poker player was caught cheating it was a capital offense. [...] As we first reported [0:24: 60 MM] last November a small group of people managed to cheat players out of more than $20 million and it would have gone undetected if it hadn't been for the players themselves, who used the Internet to root out the corruption. As a [60 MM] joint investigation by 60 Minutes and the Washington Post reveal it raises new questions about the integrity of the shadowy and highly profitable business that operates outside of U.S. law.
-------------------------------------
June 28 – Scott Pelley: the Custodian Chief’s efforts to liberate Canada from trans-generational corruption and China de facto governance and militarization; Canada’s extraordinary beauty is corrupted by decades of corruption, criminality and China
[0:00: 60 MM] How much can one man do to save a desperate nation? An American entrepreneur [X] is finding out. [...] Mozambique is a country [0:14: 60M-Staul M.] with spectacular beauty but it's been laid waste by decades of war, by malaria, by HIV.
-------------------------------------
July 12 – Scott Pelley: military procured covert regime change employing lethal force if necessary
Shortly after 9/11, the Pentagon ordered a top-secret team of American commandos into Afghanistan with a single, simple order: kill Osama bin Laden. [0:14: 60 MM] It was America's best chance to eliminate the leader of al Qaeda. The inside story of exactly what happened in that mission, and how close it came to its objective has never been told until 60 Minutes and correspondent Scott Pelley reported this story last fall.
-------------------------------------
July 12 – Leslie Staul: Custodian Chief’s status as principal victim of and witness to Canada’s non-transparent governance and China de facto governance and militarization, including the institutionalization of enslaving human experimentation, torture and deprivation
It's a cliché of courtroom dramas – that moment when the witness is asked "Do you see the person who committed the crime here in this courtroom before you?" It happens in real courtrooms all the time, and to jurors [0:15: Natasha M.], that point of the finger by a confident eyewitness is about as damning as evidence can get.
-------------------------------------
August 16 – Scott Pelley: the coalition’s conducted 24.7.365 surveillance and collected intel viz. the Custodian Chief, the East-West Corridor of Diplomacy since 2003 and the operators of Canada’s triangle of power and wealth since the early 1970s
In the midst of a recession, in a music industry fighting for survival, [Coldplay’s] fourth straight multi-platinum album "Viva La Vida" has sold an astounding eight and a half million copies and the bands current world tour is virtually sold out, as 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft first reported in February after [0:25: 60 MM] following the band from Orlando and Chicago to London and Belfast.
-------------------------------------
August 16 – Lara Logan: the development, deployment and proliferation of stealth cognition technologies and the efforts to create defenses; the Custodian Chief qua R&D subject is valuable in helping the Pentagon and its coalition counterparts understand how the 21st century Pandora’s Box operates; coalition confidentiality
Every so often in the history of war, a new weapon comes along that fundamentally rewrites the rules of battle. [0:09: 60 MM] This is a story about a revolution in unmanned aviation [Rooney M.] that is doing just that.
Most people know them as drones; the Air Force calls them "unmanned aerial vehicles." And right now, there are dozens of them in the skies over Iraq and Afghanistan, hunting down insurgents, every minute of every day.
They've [0:30: 60 MM] become one of the most important planes in the United States Air Force – and yet, the pilot is nowhere near the aircraft or the battlefield. They are controlled by remote control, from thousands of miles away.
[0:45: 60 MM] As we first reported in May, many of the details of this weapons program are classified, but our 60 Minutes team was given secret clearance and unprecedented access to bring you this story.
-------------------------------------
August 16 – Steve Kroft: Canada’s Chinada complicit and loyal are going to discover there are severe consequences to their actions, especially failing to capitulate when demanded; the Custodian Chief and other victims are entitled to sue in American courts
For American corporations, the rewards of doing business abroad are enormous, but so are the risks. And over the past 25 years no place has been more perilous than Colombia, a country that is just beginning to emerge from the throes of civil war and narco-terrorism.
Chiquita Brands International of Cincinnati, Ohio, [0:19: 60 MM] found out the hard way. It made millions growing bananas there, only to emerge with its reputation splattered in blood after acknowledging it had paid nearly $2 million in protection money to a murderous paramilitary group that has killed or massacred thousands of people.
[0:38: 60 MM] As we reported last year, the victims' families are now suing Chiquita in an American court, and investigators in Bogota and on Capitol Hill are looking at other U.S. companies that may have done the same thing.
-------------------------------------
August 30 – Steve Kroft: the Chinada threat is a global crisis; the principals of the China-Canada military alliance created a WMD – weapon of mental destruction – that must be contained; Chinada principals have rolled the dice of history and will lose everything; the institutionalization and militarization of illegality in Canada
[0:00: 60 MM] Anyone with more than a casual interest in why their 401(k) has tanked over the past year knows [0:08: Rooney M.] that it's because of the global credit crisis. [60 MM] It was triggered by the collapse of the housing market in the United States and magnified worldwide by the sale of complicated investments that Warren Buffett once labeled financial weapons of mass destruction. [0:22: 60 MM] They are called credit derivatives or credit default swaps.
As we first reported last fall, they are essentially side bets on the performance of the U.S. mortgage markets and some of the biggest financial institutions in the world – [0:36: 60 MM] a form of legalized gambling that allows you to wager on financial outcomes without ever having to actually buy the stocks and bonds and mortgages.
[0:45: 60 MM] It would have been illegal during most of the 20th century under the gaming laws, but in 2000, Congress gave Wall Street an exemption and it has turned out to be a very bad idea.
-------------------------------------
September 6 – Lara Logan: deploying coalition military forces to effect covert regime change
Tonight [60 MM] we're going to tell you about a small group of American soldiers on the frontlines of the war.
We lived with them for a month last September on a small forward operating base in [0:32: 60 MM] eastern Afghanistan, not far from the Pakistani border. It's where the real fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda is happening - in canyon valleys and jagged mountain hideouts which are crawling with enemy fighters.
-------------------------------------
September 6 – Morley Safer: the Custodian Chief’s personal story is one of those unbelievable tales that is true; his adult life is filled with all manner of pain, suffering and loss despite a ‘brilliant’ education and the shining future that came with it; the relationship that emerged and evolved between Custodian Chief and coalition changed them both: he on every level of life, the membership created a new way of conducting diplomacy and fighting and containing new military threats
[0:00: intro-long Taylor M.] This is one of those urban fables that happens to be true. Steve Lopez is a newspaper columnist for the Los Angeles Times; Nathaniel Ayers is a troubled man with a brilliant past.
As we reported last March, they met by chance on the streets of downtown L.A. – an encounter that would change them both. The story of their friendship is a tale about madness, redemption, and the mysterious power of music. At the insistence of Mr. Ayers, who was taught good manners as a child, they call each other "Mister." We will do the same.
-------------------------------------
September 13 – Lesley Staul: coercive diplomacy – threatening the use of lethal military force and empowering the ‘Iron Fist’ accountability tribunal to render the death penalty; the Fiefdom treatise is part diary documenting twenty years of hell
After his death last month [0:04: 60 MM], it seemed everyone had a story to tell about Senator Ted Kennedy: the president, his Senate colleagues, his family and even the Hyannis Port post master.
But Senator Kennedy was determined to tell his own story in his own words before he died [0:18: 60 MM]. So over the last two years, through his illness, he wrote the only memoir ever written by anyone in the Kennedy family. The result [0:27: 60 MM] is a revealing, emotional account of "Big Teddy," as he called himself, and the life he led.
The book, called "True Compass," starts with a harsh diagnosis of his brain tumor, and the doctor telling him somberly that he was about to die [0:44: Rooney M.].
-------------------------------------
September 13 – Steve Kroft: the President’s joint session of Congress speech reminded everyone in the East-West diplomatic corridor how committed the U.S. government and its allies are in containing and neutralizing the Chinada threat and fixing Canada’s dysfunctionalities; the complete deconstruction and reconstitution of the Canadian public and private sector, the security apparatus and administration of justice
This [0:01: 60 MM] past week was a crucial one in the young presidency of Barack Obama. With public support for health care reform and his administration in decline, he decided to regain control over the debate with a speech before a joint session of Congress.
With concessions to intransigent Republicans, reinforcement for wavering Democrats, and even a few specifics for skeptical citizens, the president hoped [0:25: 60 MM] to resuscitate plans for an overhaul of the medical system.
And when we spoke with him Friday at the White House he seemed confident he had succeeded.
