Missing DA
Imprisoned In
Bulgaria
By: George Smiley, Jr.
Centre County in the very middle of Pennsylvania, lost its district
attorney; lost, as in mislaid, can't find, vanished.
Pretty sloppy
if you ask us.
Most people won't miss a district attorney or
two.
Still, even DAs are people.
Until now the DA has not been
located, dead or alive.
A confidential source has perhaps tracked down what may have happened to the disappeared district attorney Ray Gricar. In April 2005, Mister Gricar was required to meet secretly with a CIA agent called "Maud." The DA had been drafted by the spy agency for what it called counter-intelligence work. The rendezvous was at a busy flea market. There the DA could deliver information without appearing suspicious. Mister Gricar brought with him information he'd collected about a top secret electronics communications project. It appears to be a project conducted at Penn State University, but off-campus. Most of Penn State University is in Centre County, Ray Gricar's jurisdiction. The project appears to envision the use of microscopic radio chips to track every American, perhaps to eavesdrop on them. It's a technology, "RFID" pioneered by Wal-Mart, of all places, to spy on its customers. The CIA project may be part of a much larger government contract relating to locating and intercepting all Americans' communications. Whatever information Mr. Gricar had obtained he carried to the flea market meeting in his laptop computer. He made the serious error of trusting the federal agents who'd recruited him. They kidnaped him. Maud, with other agents, switched drives with the one from his computer. The CIA wasn't much interested in details of what Mr. Gricar had learned about the secret program. They already know all about it. It's their scheme. The CIA suspected that unauthorized Americans, especially the media and Democrats had learned about the research. Such subversives might reveal it. An important role for the CIA with the NSA has long been to spy on Democrats by eavesdropping and collecting communications records. After the CIA seized him, Mister Gricar may have been taken by truck to a federal detention facility in Minersville, Pennsylvania. There he was apparently tortured or "questioned" for a short period of time. Unnotice, he was flown from the tiny Schuylkill County Airport to Albany, New York. In a routine called "rendition," a private contracted CIA jet carried him from that small international airport to Malta and then on to one of the CIA's secret prisons in Romania. At some point the EU [European Union] seems to have learned of the secret CIA prison in Romania. With other secret prisoners, Ray Gricar may have been taken by military vehicle to Bulgaria. There appears to be a secret CIA prison and torture facility not far outside Sofia. We stress that our source, Rebecca Romulata, cannot confirm all the details of this account. It may be fiction. It has been confirmed that the administration and its spy agencies are, and have been, collecting information on political, business and media enemies. That surveillance is justified because the subjects are, by definition, "terrorists." As the president has ordered, "you're either with us or against us." Subversives who question administration policies, actions and tactics are dangerous to national security and to the vital interests of big businesses. An examination of contracts let by the government and private firms such as Halliburton to Penn State is very illuminating. A certain pharmaceutical firm, for example, may be developing a biological marker to identify suspected Democrats. Investigating such claims is beyond our resources. Where is the new generation of honest investigative reporters?
