The "German Guy" sounds like somebody I know, but I could be wrong. You also mentioned The Library, which was started by Barry Seale before he was assassinated and which still exists, but I haven´t been approached to join. Perhaps I´m not important enough. :-(
There are a large number of "associations" for former and retired agency personnel, which do cut across national divides and which also offer an alternative (and sometimes competing) pool of intelligence and data analysis. Some are formal, but most are very informal. Some are "off the radar" and others print visiting cards.
I´m currently enjoying an extended vacation in Europe and I´m consorting with some of the friends I made here back in the 1980s. They´re all intelligence people, former and current. As you can imagine, one does a lot of reminiscing but also gets to see some real-time stuff. The funny thing is, a lot of the guys I knew who used to be very right-wing are now more liberal than their critics ever were. Retirement definitely mellows intel folk.

I´m not here for shits and giggles, Jim. Keep your $1,000 and spend it on a nice lady.
>>Why next week? Why now? The 19th, what wait does that carry? Symbolism?<<
Riley won´t hang around for more than three weeks within the national boundaries of his target. Two weeks and no more is his style, so he´s now approaching overtime according to his past record. Panchet has gone missing, which means that something is in the works imminently.
Those dates were based on some extrapolations derived from their past record of organized terrorism and bank heists, and on dates expected to see peak volumes in trading. Don´t ask my why: I´m not an economist. But at least five days of steady selling against the dollar in the futures markets will mark the countdown to Day-X.
If you see a lot of bets against the dollar next Monday and this continues throughout the week, then that could mean someone is making a killing based on inside information. Friday would be the logical Day-X. If however this kind of movement doesn´t start until mid-week, then expect the bets to run for four or five working days split only by the weekend of August 20-22.
Everyone on the inside of this operation intends to get rich in the process of killing American citizens, just like they did on 9-11.

>>when do you sleep?<<
Pretty soon. It´s now pushing 02:00, and I´m ready to hit the sack.
-----------------------------------------------------
>>What do you imagine the probability of your warning actually coming true is?<<
I´m convinced they´re going to do it. Not because the government is unaware of these activities, but because it IS AWARE of them and has yet to show its hand in acknowledging my warnings and the warnings issued to the administration by many others active in intelligence work.
From what I´ve learned out here, both the French and German intelligence services have indeed been warning their US counterparts about Panchet & Co for well over a month. Doubtless, the Israelis, knowing full well the nature of Lehrmann´s activities, will also have covered their asses with a neat little memo to Condi Rice.
As for the British, I think those bastards are pulling the strings here. Officially, they disown Panchet and say there´s nothing they can do as he hasn´t broken any laws, such as their Official Secrets Act. But we´re convinced he´s still on the MI6 payroll and is thus duty-bound to provide London with a regular status report.
The big mistake I made in my company days was underestimating the cunning and ruthlessness of the British. If I was Jerkoff, I would arrest every British citizen residing within 200 square miles of Washington and NYC.

>>what next? another war? what country will be blamed?<<
I tried answering those questions a little earlier. For sure, the main object of the event will be to "safely" collapse the markets before the markets collapse America. Any war arising from the event will only be of secondary importance.
I mentioned the freezing of Saudi assets. I didn´t mention an invasion of Saudi Arabia -- effectively turning that nation with all of its oil resources into a US protectorate -- but that is far more likely to happen than an attack on Iran.
Iran is really a huge distraction. She already has a nuclear capability (adapted from missing US SRAM missiles in 1992), and has had one for quite some time. I´m not saying the Israelis won´t strike Iran and take the risk of seeing Tel Aviv evaporate. But Bush won´t.
-----------------------------------------------------
>>Honestly, I don´t understand how the intelligence business can function what with all the insane compartmentalization and the fact that "allies" are all spying on each other.<<
When I joined the CIA, I was told: "We have no enemies, just friends with varying levels of enmity." (To any goodfellows out there: Who said that?)
The British are good at playing off one side against the other. Very good. They´ve had centuries of experience.
-----------------------------------------------------
>>Is it a well known site among the intel community?<<
This forum is certainly known. For my part, I came here for the first time yesterday to scout it out. I like the fact you don´t have to register.
I had heard about Godlike Productions back in the States. Some agency people use it as a dropbox to send coded stuff. Look for meaningless subject lines and cryptic "conversations".
-----------------------------------------------------
>>What does that matter? The government kills people all the time. Why not get a hit man and take Panchet out? When did the government become so concerned with someone they know is a problem who hasn´t broken any laws? They kill innocent people all of the time. Again does not make sense.<<
No, neither does it make any sense to facilitate the training of terrorists on American soil courtesy of the American taxpayer. Nor does Tony Blair´s protection of Haroon Rashid Aswat and Abu Qatada, or Israel´s covert support for Abu Nidal make any sense ... unless you come to realise for whom these men work.
Neither the British nor the Americans want Panchet dead. Not now, not ever.
-----------------------------------------------------
>>Safe & Sound... so what do you think about what German Guy said about the Helping Hand? Or was it the Hidden Hand?<<
I´ll have to read that stuff tomorrow. I´m bushed and it´s now 03:00.
-----------------------------------------------------
>>Ill buy the drinks!<<
Thanks for the offer, AA, but I quit the booze years ago. Maybe we should travel back in time to an old vodka shack I used to frequent when they (mistakenly) sent me behind the Iron Curtain. :-)
-----------------------------------------------------
as I said, Iran is a distraction. Iran has nukes -- not many, but just enough to keep Cheney at bay. Iran has also been in possession of enriched uranium for quite some years.
Some of the people I´m spending time with have been intercepting some very interesting communications between a British government defence officer and a journalist in my current country of temporary residence. What I heard only confirmed what I already knew.
Then yesterday, when I finally got to sit down in front of a proper PC instead of my Notebook, I found that some of this information had found its way onto a website called Counterpunch. I´ll look up a link for you tomorrow.
