Wayne Madsen worked in US Naval Intelligence for many years and he has published numerous articles for Russia Today. Rightardia in now a subscriber to the Wayne Madsen Report and will be using material from his blog.
In 2005 Madsen became a blogger and free-lance journalist. He currently edits the Wayne Madsen Report, which he describes as following in the tradition of Drew Pearson, Jack Anderson's famous "Washington Merry-Go-Round" syndicated column, and columns by I.F. Stone.
His columns have appeared in The Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle, Philadelphia Inquirer, Columbus Dispatch, Sacramento Bee, and Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Madsen is a member of the Society of Professional Journalists, Investigative Reporters and Editors, Association of Former Intelligence Officers, and the National Press Club (USA).
Madsen says that in 2001 he was denied a press pass as an Internet journalist to cover the first inauguration of George W. Bush. This increased his credibility with Rightardia.
Reporting and Opinions
In 2000, Madsen expressed concern over the Carnivore Internet information monitoring program of the FBI and Project Echelon of the National Security Agency which he said were threats to the privacy rights of Americans.
In 2002 he suggested to the Guardian newspaper that the United States Navy had aided in an attempted overthrow of Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez. In January 2002 he expressed concern over the possible use of torture by the United States government against suspected terrorists, as well as possible plans to use the military in domestic law enforcement, in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
In 2003 he said that he had uncovered information linking the September 11 attacks to the government of Saudi Arabia as well as to Bush administration. In 2005, he wrote than an unidentified former CIA agent claimed that the USS Cole was actually hit by a Popeye cruise missile launched from an Israeli Dolphin-class submarine.
In 2005 he said that the pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC, had pressured American politicians to stay away from protests against the Iraq war.
In 2006 he criticized the Iraq Study Group
"I think it is a whitewash group and nothing will come of it, except that they may concoct some reason for the US to stay the course in Iraq, with perhaps a little more international support, like Germany and Canada.
The commission is a whitewash because the members are all consummate Washington insiders, many of whom have a political and financial stake in the successful outcome of the war. The longer the war goes on the more money they make."
Later that year he criticized the movie industry for indirectly causing suffering in Africa by promoting diamonds in movies like Breakfast At Tiffany's and Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.
He included Leonardo DiCaprio, whose film Blood Diamond dealt with the issue, as well as Russell Simmons who is selling a line of "nonconflict diamonds." Madsen said about them, "It's a p.r. campaign. They should be saying, 'Don't buy diamonds at all.'"
In a 2008 Arab News article, Madsen is quoted as suggesting that the criminal prosecution of New York State governor Eliot Spitzer was partly due to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
In July 2009, Madsen released a report claiming the existence of a Q Group within the National Security Agency. This unit is, according to Madsen, tasked with concealing US government involvement in 9/11.
We anticipate we will get some interesting articles form Mr. Madsen.We have one on the way.
