FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Neither the CIA nor the Pentagon disputed the authenticity of the documents. A
spokesman for the National Security Council said the White House would have
no comment on the documents beyond those issued last August by presidential
press secretary Jay Carney, who said the White House had not given the
filmmakers classified information.
The CIA and Pentagon said there was nothing unusual about their dealings with
the filmmakers.
“The CIA has been open about our engagement with writers, documentary
filmmakers, movie and TV producers, and others in the entertainment industry,”
said Jennifer Youngblood, an agency spokesman.
She added: “Our goal is an accurate portrayal of the men and women of the
CIA, their vital mission and the commitment to public service that defines
them. The protection of national security equities is always paramount in
any engagement with the entertainment industry.”
Pentagon spokesman George Little said, “The Department of Defence, as
well as other agencies and departments, regularly engage with the
entertainment industry to inform projects ranging from books to
documentaries to feature films.
“Many individuals in the industry expressed interest in developing
projects on what can only be described as one of the top intelligence and
military successes of a generation,” Mr Little added. “Our
engagement on these projects was driven by a desire to inform, not by timing.”In
a statement posted on its website, Judicial Watch said the documents
indicate that the Pentagon granted Bigelow and Boal access to a “planner,
Operator and Commander of SEAL Team Six,” the Navy commando unit that
carried out the raid during which bin Laden was killed in Abbotabad,
Pakistan, where he apparently had lived for years.
Among the documents the group said it obtained is a transcript of a July 14,
2011, meeting with Pentagon officials in which Bigelow and Boal indicate
that Boal met with White House National Security Council official Denis
McDonough and chief counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan to discuss the
film project.
According to Judicial Watch, the transcript quotes Michael Vickers, the
Pentagon’s intelligence chief, giving the filmmakers the identity of a
senior SEAL team member involved in the raid on the condition that “you
not reveal his name in any way as a consultant, because … he shouldn’t be
talking out of school.”
The group says that it also obtained an internal CIA email that indicates
Bigelow and Boal were granted access to “the vault,” a CIA
installation where some of the planning for the bin Laden raid took place.
However, the group says that other correspondence released by the government
indicates that although they were helping the filmmakers, Obama
administration officials otherwise sought to limit media access to those
involved in the bin Laden operation and other counter-terrorism insiders.
Judicial Watch says that it has a June 13, 2011, email in which Vickers
advises Douglas Wilson, the Pentagon’s public affairs chief, that the
Defence Department “would like to shape the story to prevent any gross
inaccuracies,” but it did not “want to make it look like the
commanders think it’s OK to talk to the media.”
Judicial Watch said another Pentagon email describes how a representative of
the Glover Park Group, a Washington lobbying firm with close ties to the
Democratic Party, helped arrange the filmmakers’ access to administration
officials.
The Glover Park group had no immediate comment.
Judicial Watch said it launched its investigation of the Obama
administration’s dealings with the filmmakers after seeing press reports
suggesting that the administration might have leaked classified information
as source material for the film.
Zero Dark Thirty is being filmed in India and Jordan and stars Chris Pratt,
Jessica Chastain and Joel Edgerton, according to the film website IMDB. It
is schedule for release in December.
