The Kindle version of THE CLAPPER MEMO continues to climb the charts, now showing up in the #3 spot in Amazon’s “Top 100 Hot New Releases in Terrorism.”
Thanks to everyone who’s helping get the word out about this book which, by the way, comes highly recommended.
THE CLAPPER MEMO is available in paperback and ebook versions from Amazon.
Bob McCarty’s first nonfiction book, Three Days In August, is also available in ebook and paperback at Amazon.
The first five-star customer review of THE CLAPPER MEMO appeared online yesterday under the headline, Blockbuster – A Must Read for Those Fighting Terrorism. The wording of that review, submitted by “Case Officer,” appears unedited below except for minor formatting changes:
Bob McCarty has connected the dots to a story that otherwise would not have seen the light of day. He has exposed the ongoing and unceasing activities of a small group of US government bureaucrats that should outrage the entire US population.
It is unconscionable that administration-after-administration has allowed this national disgrace to continue unabated for the past 50 years. The safety and security of our military members should trump the agenda of a handful of power hungry bureaucrats. The absolute faith by these bureaucrats in a scientifically flawed device – namely the polygraph – appears to have caused significant damage to the international reputation and security of the United States.
Further, the stamp of approval given to the polygraph by the US government appears to have also caused serious damage to other nations as well – Iraq, Afghanistan and Mexico to name a few. The true extent of the damage caused by polygraph will perhaps never be known, since the US government does not publicly admit to such gross maleficence and failures. However, the cases brought to light by Bob McCarty are a damning indictment against continued support of the polygraph by the US government.
It is amazing that otherwise world-class agencies such as the FBI, CIA, DOD, and DHS continue to rely on a 100 year old technology that is scientifically proven to be worthless for intelligence screening operations. This book should be required reading for all involved in the “War on Terror” both at home and abroad. Bob McCarty should be commended for exposing this pseudoscientific government-backed fraud.
You can order a copy of THE CLAPPER MEMO in paperback or ebook versions from Amazon.
Bob McCarty’s first nonfiction book, Three Days In August, is also available in ebook and paperback at Amazon.
At 10 a.m. Eastern Thursday, Navy SEAL Team VI Families are holding a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. According to the NPC web page for the event, the families will reveal the government’s culpability in the deaths of their sons in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan following the successful raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound. Taking place a day after the House Benghazi Hearings, this could be the proverbial “nail in the coffin” of the Obama Administration.
Below is the text of the news advisory on the NPC webpage:
(Washington, D.C.). Three families of Navy SEAL Team VI special forces servicemen, along with one family of an Army National Guardsman, will appear at a press conference on May 9, 2013, to disclose never before revealed information about how and why their sons along with 26 others died in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, just a few months after the successful raid on the compound of Osama Bin Laden that resulted in the master terrorist’s death.
Accompanying the families of these dead Navy SEAL Team VI special operations servicemen will be retired military experts verifying their accounts of how and why the government is as much responsible for the deaths of their sons as is the Taliban.
The areas of inquiry at the press conference will include but not be limited to:
1. How President Obama and Vice President Biden, having disclosed on May 4, 2011, that Navy Seal Team VI carried out the successful raid on Bin Laden’s compound resulting in the master terrorist’s death, put a retaliatory target on the backs of the fallen heroes.
2. How and why high-level military officials sent these Navy SEAL Team VI heroes into battle without special operations aviation and proper air support.
3. How and why middle-level military brass carries out too many ill-prepared missions to boost their standing with top-level military brass and the Commander-in-Chief in order that they can be promoted.
4. How the military restricts special operations servicemen and others from engaging in timely return fire when fired upon by the Taliban and other terrorist groups and interests, thus jeopardizing the servicemen’s lives.
5. How and why the denial of requested pre-assault fire may have contributed to the shoot down of the Navy SEAL Team VI helicopter and the death of these special operations servicemen.
6. How Afghani forces accompanying the Navy SEAL Team VI servicemen on the helicopter were not properly vetted and how they possibly disclosed classified information to the Taliban about the mission, resulting in the shoot down of the helicopter.
7. How military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes who disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah. A video of the Muslim cleric’s “prayer” will be shown with a certified translation.
“This press conference takes on special significance given that our government has over the last twelve years since September 11th committed brave American servicemen to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that, in large part as a result of politics, were poorly conceived of and implemented, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the maiming of tens of thousands of our brave heroes. To make matters even worse, America has effectively lost these wars,” stated Larry Klayman, legal counsel for the families.

Stay tuned for fireworks!
Bob McCarty is the author of two nonfiction books, Three Days In August (October 2011) and THE CLAPPER MEMO (May 2013).
My second nonfiction book, THE CLAPPER MEMO, is now on sale in paperback and ebook!
In THE CLAPPER MEMO, I take readers behind the scenes of a 40-year turf war and share what I learned about polygraph loyalists and their no-holds-barred campaign to eliminate competing investigative technologies that threaten to put them out of business. Most importantly, I connect the dots between three Department of Defense memos — including one signed by James R. Clapper Jr. before he became the nation’s top intelligence official — and hundreds of American casualties resulting from “Green-on-Blue” (a.k.a., “Insider”) attacks in Afghanistan during the past six years.
The product of an exhaustive four-year investigation, this book has already received three major endorsements (shown below):
• “Bob McCarty’s book, THE CLAPPER MEMO, represents perhaps the most thorough investigative reporting I have encountered in years. I direct the attention of the so-called major media to it. This is how it’s done!” — David P. Schippers, former director of the U.S. Department of Justice Organized Crime Task Force in Chicago; Chief Investigative Counsel for the U.S. House of Representatives during Clinton Impeachment Hearings (1998); and author of the book, SELLOUT: The Inside Story of President Clinton’s Impeachment.
• “Any American with a sense of fair play and a desire to see that our intelligence and vetting personnel have the best information possible should read THE CLAPPER MEMO… clearly an unconscionable cover-up.” — Capt. Larry W. Bailey, U.S. Navy SEAL (Ret.), former commander of the U.S. Navy Basic Underwater Demolition/SEALs Training Program (a.k.a. “BUD/S”) and co-founder of Special Operations Speaks; and
• “Bob McCarty has uncovered a high-tech ‘turf war’ pitting those who want the best for our troops against others who seem to be focused on their own self-interests. Sadly, it seems the wrong people are winning this war. I highly recommend THE CLAPPER MEMO.” — Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, U.S. Army (Ret.), former deputy commander, U.S. Army Pacific now serving as chair of two organizations, Stand Up America and Nemo Arms, Inc., he became well known as a senior military analyst on Fox News Channel from 2000 to 2007.
Ebook versions will be available for ordering only via Amazon (Kindle), while trade paperback versions of the book will be available online at Amazon and a number of other online locations. I will update this post as each site “goes live.”
As was the case with my first book, Three Days In August, you will be able to place orders for paperback copies of THE CLAPPER MEMO from most local bookstores after it enters the distribution system. In addition, the paperback will become available at more online retailers during the next few days.
I hope you’ll order a copy of THE CLAPPER MEMO today! Thanks in advance!
Facing charges of first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the shooting death of a stranger less than 48 hours before the 10th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Mohamed H. Dawod withdrew his guilty plea during a hearing Friday in a Springfield, Mo., courtroom. In it’s place, he entered pleas of “not guilty” and “not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.”
Mohamed H. Dawod
Twenty-five at the time the shooting took place at a Greyhound bus station in Springfield, the Glendale, Ariz., native remains in custody and, according to an online docket entry posted Friday, Judge Dan Conklin instructed attorneys on both sides to prepare a proposed order for evaluation by the Missouri Department of Mental Health. That means, he will likely undergo a mental exam soon.
Dawod had been scheduled to stand trial April 16, according to a docket entry dated June 29, 2012; however, pretrial motions delayed that trial from taking place.
More recently, according to an online court docket entry dated March 6, Dawod had been scheduled to be visited in his Greene County Jail cell March 8 and 9 by Dr. Thomas Blansett, a local psychologist. Though the purpose(s) of the visits and/or whether or not they took place was not indicated in the list of docket entries online, it stands to reason that the local psychologist was assessing Dawod’s mental state for purposes of determining whether or not he was in his “right mind” at the time of the shooting.
For more details about this case and why I believe it could be labeled a case of “Show-Me Jihad,” read my April 22 post and others in my series about the Springfield bus station murder case.
EDITOR’S NOTE: While it was nice to see the Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader’s article about the case Friday, the depth of the newspaper’s coverage left much to be desire.
Bob McCarty is the author of Three Days In August: A U.S. Army Special Forces Soldier’s Fight For Military Justice, a nonfiction book available in paperback and ebook via most online booksellers, including Amazon.com. It chronicles the life and wrongful conviction of Army Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Kelly A. Stewart. His second book, THE CLAPPER MEMO, is coming soon.
The Boston Marathon Bombing has garnered a lot of media attention during the past week, in part, because the men suspected of committing the attack were Muslims and the attack itself bore earmarks of Islamic terrorism. Conversely, a deadly shooting that took place in Missouri almost two years ago bears similar earmarks but has received almost no media coverage as it approaches the trial stage.
Mohamed H. Dawod
The bus station murder took place at a Greyhound bus station in Springfield, Mo., in 2011, less than 48 hours before the 10th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The suspect, Mohamed Dawod, was 25 at the time the shooting took place and now faces charges of first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the shooting death of Justin Hall, 32, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
Worth noting, witnesses reported the suspect and his alleged victim were passengers on a bus traveling from Amarillo, Texas, but did not to know each other, and were preparing to board the bus for the last leg of the journey to St. Louis when the shooting took place.
Soon after the shooting took place, police officials in Missouri’s third-largest city were quick to label the incident involving the Glendale, Ariz., native as “random,” according to a report in the Springfield News-Leader.
According to another local television report, those same police officials said that, because of a language barrier, they had only learned Dawod’s name and had asked the FBI to help them with the investigation. Also in that report was this:
Ten separate witnesses say they did not notice the men fighting or arguing before the shooting. One passenger said she watched the suspect wander around the terminal until the call to line up to re-board the bus. “She then observed the suspect remove a silver and black handgun from a back pack he was carrying,” the officer wrote. “The suspect then pointed the handgun upward while saying something. The witness could not understand what the suspect said and didn’t know if he was speaking English.” No matter what was said the witness said Hall didn’t react or turn around. Shortly after the witness says Dawod shot him from a few feet away.
In a report five days later, I wondered aloud whether the words Dawod reportedly shouted as he pointed his gun in the air could have been “Alluh Akbar,” the cry that’s been heard coming from the mouths of so many Islamic extremists moments before they suffer from so-called “sudden jihad syndrome.” Unable to answer that question with certainty, I pointed readers to a same-day report in the Springfield News-Leader that contained more insight about the supposed “language barrier.”
Based largely on interviews with three people who were at the scene of the shooting, the article noted two observations I had reported early on — that is, the shooter tried to fire again but could not because his gun jammed and witnesses believed the shooter intended to shoot several people. In addition, however, it noted that Patrick Beeman, Hall’s traveling companion, said Dawod asked police a question in English after he was arrested: “He said, ‘if I quit shooting at people, can I get back on the bus?’” So he does speak English!
More than 19 months have passed since the shooting took place, but there has been very little news media coverage of the case. In fact, the only recent coverage I’ve found appeared Feb. 24 in a round-up article by Daniel Pipes. He examined eight killings in the United States of non-Muslims by Muslims that have gone unnoticed by the major media.
Dawod had been scheduled to stand trial April 16, according to a docket entry dated June 29, 2012; however, pretrial motions seem to have delayed that trial from taking place.
According to an online court docket entry dated March 6, he had been scheduled to be visited in his Greene County Jail cell March 8 and 9 by Dr. Thomas Blansett. Though the purpose(s) of the visits and/or whether or not they took place was not indicated in the list of docket entries online, it stands to reason that the local psychologist might be assessing Dawod’s mental state for purposes of determining whether or not he was in his “right mind” at the time of the shooting.
During a hearing scheduled Friday at 8:30 a.m. inside a 31st Judicial District courtroom in Springfield, Judge Dan Conklin is expected to rule on two motions filed during the past week by defense attorney Stuart Paul Huffman on behalf of his client, Dawod. It’s expected the judge could order Dawod to undergo a psychiatric examination to determine his competency to stand trial.
As this case draws closer to trial, it will be interesting to see whether or not anyone in the news media — aside from yours truly, that is — pays any attention. Stay tuned!
EDITOR’S NOTE: Please READ and SHARE this report, because members of the national news media appear as if they will not. Thanks in advance!

By Paul R. Hollrah, Guest Writer
Barack Obama stepped before the TV cameras, glanced at his teleprompters, and said, resolutely, “No act of terror will dim the light of the values that we proudly shine on the rest of the world, and no act of violence will shake the resolve of the United States of America.”
Obama’s reaction to the terrorist bombing in Boston? No, those were Obama’s words at a political fundraiser in Las Vegas Sept. 12, 2012, the day after the murder of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans in Benghazi, and less than 24 hours after he claims to have given the order to “secure our people” in Benghazi.
The next day, as he was massaging his radical base at the University of Colorado, and by which time he still had not checked with his Secretary of State or his Secretary of Defense to see what progress they’d made in rescuing our people in Benghazi, he said, “I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished.”
Yeah, right. In the hours after the terrorist attack on innocent civilians in Boston, Obama’s principal concern was that we exercise caution in assigning blame. He certainly wouldn’t want to anger his friends in Cairo or Riyadh. Clearly avoiding the use of the words “terrorism” or “attack,” he said, “We still do not know who did this, or why, and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. But make no mistake: we will get to the bottom of this, we will find out who did this, we’ll find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice.”
Reading between the lines, what he was saying was that he still had not heard from Morris Dees at the Southern Poverty Law Center, instructing him to blame the attack on either right wing militias or Tea Party activists… as was the case with Bill Clinton and Janet Reno in the hours after the Oklahoma City Bombing.
Not only do we not know who carried out the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, we still have not heard from the survivors who’ve been held incognito and who’ve been made to sign non-disclosure forms to prevent them from telling the Congress what they know.
So, Mr. Obama, please allow me to administer a brief multiple-choice test. There is one group of people on the face of the Earth who regularly explode bombs in public places, hoping to kill and maim as many innocent men, women, and children as possible. Would you say that group is composed of: a) Boy Scouts, b) Girl Scouts, c) Rotarians, d) Kiwanians, e) Daughters of the American Revolution, f) Carmelite Nuns, or g) Muslims?
You say you’re not sure? Well, neither were Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, your Democratic predecessors.
President Bill Clinton
On Feb. 7, 1995, ten weeks before the Oklahoma City Bombing, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center attack was arrested in Pakistan and turned over to U.S. authorities. Yet, it still didn’t occur to Bill Clinton and Janet Reno that they were dealing with something far more sinister and far more deadly than an “isolated criminal event,” which is how they characterized the first attack on the World Trade Center.
If they’d learned anything at all from the World Trade Center Bombing and the Islamic terrorists they’d convicted, one would think that they would have been acutely attuned to the possibility that the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City just might be part of a pattern… especially in light of the fact that numerous eye witnesses and security cameras showed at least five individuals, Timothy McVeigh and three or four “Middle Eastern types,” speeding away from the Murrah Building just moments before a massive explosion took it down.
Police investigator Craig Roberts, the Tulsa police investigator assigned to the Oklahoma City investigation, author of The Medusa File, speculates that the FBI dropped the notion of Islamic terrorist involvement when the Southern Poverty Law Center, with an anti-right wing agenda, began spreading the word that right wing militia groups were among the most likely suspects.
Not surprisingly, the FBI investigators made an almost instantaneous 90-degree left turn, totally ignoring mountains of evidence of Middle Eastern involvement developed by local law enforcement and local news organizations.
In fact, when irrefutable evidence of Arab involvement was presented to FBI agents on the scene, they put their hands behind their backs and refused to even touch the documents. Did they have orders from Clinton and Reno to abandon the solid leads they were following and concentrate on chasing right ring militia groups and a couple of disgruntled white guys… McVeigh and Nichols?
Dr. Frederick Whitehurst, the FBI “whistle-blower” who charged the FBI laboratories with falsifying evidence to benefit prosecutions, said, “We (the FBI) find ourselves aligned against an administration that has demonstrated that its first allegiance is to determining guilt, and to hell with truth.”
If the Clinton Justice Department had followed the evidence in Oklahoma City, the trail of evidence would have led them directly to Abu Sayyef, and al-Qaeda in the Philippines. Their leader, Ramzi Youssef, was already aware that the federal building in Oklahoma City would be bombed, months before it happened.
If al-Qaeda had been interrupted at that point in time we might reasonably expect that the attacks on the Khobar Towers (1996), the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (1998), the USS Cole (2000), and the World Trade Center and the Pentagon (2001) might never have happened. Unfortunately, they didn’t do that. Once they had Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in custody they simply stopped looking. They were more interested in “determining guilt” than in finding truth.
Less than eight months after President George W. Bush moved into the White House, Islamic terrorists flew four jet airliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in western Pennsylvania, killing some 3,000 people. Bush recognized the massive attack for what it was… another attack in a war that had been ongoing for many years… and he finally took steps to fight back.
Eric Holder
On Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder said that the FBI was committed to working with Libyan authorities to track down those who attacked and killed four Americans at Benghazi on September 11. Yet, a month later, the FBI still had not sent an evidence team to the American consulate in Benghazi. American newsmen found the floor littered with State Department documents, some of them of a classified nature.
Just hours after the Boston Marathon bombing, the Associated Press reported that “Eric Holder has directed the full resources of the Justice Department be deployed to investigate the bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon.” Are those the same “full resources of the Justice Department” that were assigned to track down the guilty parties in Libya?
A department official said Holder has spoken with FBI Director Robert Mueller and with Carmen Ortiz, the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. The official said Ortiz’s office was coordinating the department’s response with the FBI and other federal, state and local law enforcement authorities.
Now, just four days later, the American people have been shown just what can be accomplished if the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and state and local police organizations are really determined to solve a heinous crime. So why are we still awaiting answers on what happened in Benghazi? When are the guilty parties going to be punished, as Obama promised? Could it be because he and Holder are just not that interested in having the American people learn the truth about Benghazi?
Obama and Holder may think they’re off the hook on Benghazi, but they’re not. Some 700 retired Special Operations officers and non-commissioned officers have signed an open letter to Congress, demanding that the Congress convene a Special Select Committee to get answers to the Benghazi debacle, and they will not relent. The Congress will ultimately get to the bottom of it.
And, oh yes, Mr. Obama, as you should know by now, the answer to the multiple choice question is… g) Muslims. They are the only people on the face of the Earth who regularly explode bombs in public places, hoping to kill and maim as many innocent men, women, and children as possible. And don’t let Morris Dees and his left wing radicals at the Southern Poverty Law Center convince you otherwise.
