White House Creates “Hostage Czar”?
When all else fails due to WH incompetency and ignorance,  Create “American Version Of Russian Czar!” Russians and Putin should be laughing by now. They got rid of their Czar in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917! Yet we resurrected the Czar because no one knows how to negotiate a minor hostage situation here or abroad.
Unbelievable!
As someone who had dealt with hundreds of hostages  all over the world including: the USA [Hanafi Muslims Washington D.C]; Uganda [Idi Amin]; Colombia [FARC]; and in the Middle East [PLO; Habash; Abu Nidal]—it was very easy for me to coordinate all my activities with the FBI, CIA, MI, SOF, Air Force, Navy, State Department, DOD, Metropolitan Police Dept [Wash DC- Police Chief Cullinane] and even the White House [Dr Peter Bourne and others]. I do not claim anything more than the ability to take calculated risks when presented with information from all sources of intelligence ranging from sophisticated NSA sweeping ELINT/SIGINT and HUMINT from the CIA, MI, local police forces, etc. 
Once I had information, I would talk to the families of the hostage when it was necessary. Very often, I assigned competent Foreign Service Officers, CIA operatives and even military or police officials to deal effectively with the respective families that were involved in the hostage negotiations.
Now the WH is spewing nonsensical palaver concerning payments to so-called self-designated terrorist groups. Since I was one of the originators of the presently completely misunderstood state policy of ‘no payment for hostages’, I can assure you that I had a successful rate of recovery because I did whatever it took to get those hostages out of harm’s way. Whether it was money or media attention, I was in the business of negotiating with terrorists along the lines of whatever currency they or I insisted upon. That point is crucial. The key to a successful hostage rescue is rarely to go in with kinetic action and play Jack Ryan on steroids [sorry Tom Clancy].
A terrorist situations as in Washington DC in the late 1970’s involved an intricate analysis by the Washington DC police and the successful use of three very brave Muslim Ambassadors –Gen Yaqub Kahn [Pakistan]; Adeshir Zahedi [Iran]; Amb Ghorbal [Egypt] and a very brave police chief named Cullinane. Eventually President Carter’s orders to ‘stand down’ were refused and the 150 plus hostages in three different buildings were safely released thanks to the brave efforts of everyone. There was no czar or czarina in any position. There was Earl Silbert, intrepid lawyer, who gave me legal guidance before, during and after the event. There were the brave bureaucrats of the Washington DC government and the senior administration officials who provided me and my team cover from the prying media which I eventually terminated [there was no First Amendment Right to incite a hostage siege—I argued correctly].
The media, especially one correspondent from the ABC, was upset that he and the other media personnel were not allowed to cover the hostage siege. I told him and the media subsequently that they would not be allowed to ‘intercede’ as long as I was running a crisis nor would they interview anyone related to the crisis. Not during; nor after.
I was fortunate that the Washington DC judge at the time had ordered at my request a ‘gag ruling’ which meant that no one was allowed to talk about it after the episode.
The past is the past but nothing has changed. Terrorism as I have noted before has become a major business on both sides of the financial aisle. Terrorists around the world have commoditized hostages in terms of dollars and cents. These so-called Security Experts have made a fortune servicing the desperate families with all types of false promises; as well as providing Hollywood with spurious hostage situations and outcomes. Let’s not forget the new Czar position with a salary at the taxpayers expense.

  1. Can only imagine these situations border on "light entertainment " for you Dr p! But the UK probably started the ball rolling with show business hostage situations with the Iranian embassy seige! Now it's 24 hour coverage with experts offering expert analysis whilst not being expert enough to engage their expertise!! No such thing as actions being carried out effectively and more importantly quietly! A cynic may wonder if these games are acted out so as it can be saturated by media so we the public can witness how "great" our leaders are!

    1. In that case Maggie said she did not want any hostage takers coming out alive, whatever happened. In fact some of the women hostages threw themselves over a young 'terrorist' to stop the SAS killing him.

  2. Delegate the duties of hostage resolution(s) to a ' Czar " equates to more "golf time" for Obama, with the benefit of plausible deniability if the Shi@#$#@ ! were to hit the fan. Win Win ! ; )

  3. You have a rare skill set Dr P, so don't be surprised that only someone with similar attributes could do a good job of "calculating risks" in this context. You are a rare bird, you need to clone yourself, and delegate the duty to your clone ! Win Win ! ...as I don't think you can teach people to "think". They either got it, or they don't. And most don't.

  4. The Hanafi Muslims and other tiny groups all by themselves, alone, to stage some dramatic theater of hostages requires the kind of calm and reasoned process which Dr.P employed.

    But those are the rare exceptions, really almost extinct.

    The vast majority of hostage or kidnap situations are with large groups like FARC or others. These groups have massive vulnerabilties of their own to be exploited. I think using the "Dr.P Hanafi Muslim" playbook for these repeated kidnappings for ransom by these huge paramilitary groups is a desaster! A total fucking cluster-fuck desaster!

    What's needed is bargaining and escalation dominance.

    When dealing with ISIS or FARC or Hezbollah in the past or whatever the fuck....

    The key is to strike, and take hostages....and attack loved ones and family members of the leadership!

    Yeah now there's an idea for you!

    Take as hostage the children or parents of the leader of these shitty groups!

    Baby that's how I play.

    I'm a ruthless motherfucker and I get results and no one fucks around.

    Sorry Dr.P but the lily-livered eggheads like you and the State Department lilly-livered ones like Cy Vance and his ilk don't know what it takes.

    It takes a hero [me]

    1. Yes yes yes, if they abduct ordinary citizens, kill their families, and villages, burn them to ground. If they abduct some rich or politician put them in to government and put them in schoolbooks.

    2. In Kuwait who is poorer than Norway twice if you compare gdp per head, people live so much better than than in Norway, comparing it to Sweden which have same gdp per head, is twice funny because average Swede cannot be compared to average Kuwait citizien at all. So how is that, well that is because King cannot have so much members of own family how every capitalistic member of oligarchy can plus families of senators, members of congress, local politicians, local rich guys and their families, of course that people cannot support so many entrepreneurial dreams. And those idiots are telling people, that everyone of us should also go and be entrepreneur, like we have 10 lives, and especially in liberal capitalism where rules are change how rich wants.

    4. Yes Norwegians are of pure clean Germanic stock, unlike 78% Germans. They do not have genocidal tendencies of Goth not so germanic genes. It is also interesting that of female German women, almost 30% of them are Germanic while German males are around 16%.

    5. When American lumberman Travis Walton was accidently injured by an alien spacecraft while lumbering in Arizona he was taken aboard a large spacecraft and kept there for five days while he recovered.

      He describes that onboard the large alien craft that the senior aliens in charge were Nordic looking humans who were tall and had blonde hair and blue eyes.

      Walton's account is highly credible and there were many witnesses to his "abduction" and accident involving the alien spacecraft.

      The German racist magazine of the 1920s "Ostara" promoted the narrative that the "Aryans" were actually Nordic aliens from outer space who had come to earth to build the first virtuous human civilization.

      In the 1990s an Englishman woke up to find two blonde haired blue eyes girls on his bed, and they took turns having sex with him, and then they vanished.

      They left behind pubic hairs which were analized and it was found that the hairs came from females which were fully human but they had none of the known haplotypes or genetic mutations which all earth humans have accumulated.

      These two Nordic girls who were horny were humans but they were produced from human DNA which was hundreds of thousands of years old, or simply was human DNA from a sample somewhere which was not involved in human evolution on the earth....

      But once again they were blonde and Nordic.

      All the non-Nordic peoples out there I'm sorry to have to break this to you but you are not Aryan, as the myth goes, and this myth is based on actual truth and reflects the actual nature of humanity.

      I am however half-Norwegian and half-German and have blue eyes and blonde hair and I am exactly six feet tall and weigh 200 pounds exactly.

      That's just the way it is and it's why when I worked in government with all these non-Aryans from England or the Mediterranean or they were Jews...well they just didn't measure up to me either morally or intellectually.

      I've had to reach the conclusion that these genetic factors are in fact the operative ones and try as they might non-Nordic peoples are just not capable of the highest levels of moral being.

    6. Take for example Noam Chomsky. To me he always exemplified not only a high level of intellect but of social consciousness and empathy.

      However with time I've come to see that even he is very deficit in his moral thinking. His kind of empathy and moral concern is real, but he's incapable of making moral discriminations or distinctions on a finer level. His form of morality is a crude "we must love all people no matter who or what they are," or "All people are basically the same and there by the grace of chance we could be just like them."

      No. That's way off...way..way off.

      The truth is that there are good people and bad people. There are incompetent people and competent ones. There are those deserving of power and those undeserving. There are those who cannot govern themselves because they are primitive and those who are capable of cooperation and empathy.

      Chomsky doesn't see the moral deficits in others based on their gender or race or anything else. He fails to see these moral shortcomings because he doesn't see morality clearly enough, and has trouble defining it seeing what it is or is not.

      He claims that pornography and prostitution is per se humiliating to women. Humiliating to women? How?

      If a woman is horny and enjoys having herself photographed having sex with other people how is that humiliating?

      I think Chomsky is merely docrinal. He's merely a jumble of non-critical and unexamined dogma about what is degrading and what is not.

      But then he's not a Nordic person but a Jew and if he were Nordic he would have more tolerance for horny women, women who want to stay home while their husbands work and make all the money, and every other thing which he falsely claims is malevolent among men and women and so forth..

      And if Chomsky as a Jew is morally deficient then are there any Jews who are not?

    7. I agree with Dr. David Jacobs that there are aliens who are in the process of engineering a new race of humans which will assume power here on earth shortly.

      When this happens humans will become aware that race and genetic endowment are all important, contrary to current dogma.

      Humans will have to learn the truth that there were several different types of humans on the earth in the past, that each type had it's own strengths and weaknesses, and that current races of humans are analagous to these.

      Then we will have to recognize the higher refinement of the newer race which will then be in charge of human affairs.

      And all of this will be made necessary by the destruction of the ecology by non-Nordic human races which is currently underway.....

      Dr.Jacobs claims that every nationality is involved in the current hybridization program...but this is misleading.

      There are in fact no negros involved in this program...nor are their aboriginal peoples such as native Americans or Australians....nor are there hotentots or other primitive peoples.

      There are only specific racial haplotypes involved in this program.

  5. Wow, MIT. No one can give pushback to Dr. P better than you on this blog and likely in more places than this. I would love to see a live debate between the two of you, lol.

    I am swishing sesame seed oil after my Amox Clav 875 antibiotic for an infected tooth. I just changed my address with Mass and lost my dental coverage there, and the next day I have tooth flare up and am supposed to leave tomorrow am for my own apartment and an owner who gives a crap and not in a ghetto like here.

    MIT, I just squished a bug an hour ago and it is a bedbug. I knew it when I saw it on the paper I used. I am honest. I cannot drag my stuff, childhood letters, mohair boa's from France, lanterns my grandparents and great grandparents used before electricity in the 1800's, and now all my things could have this. I have to tell the uppity white landlord in the new place about this. What the f am I going to do now? I am not suicidal, but probably should be. I showed it to a neighbor, and he said, "NO good!" The owners here are superchristians and don't like negative communications.

    I know heat is very expensive and the only way to rid your stuff of these. What am I going to do?????

    Dr. P, forgive me for this so out of line post and my others. I know MIT is smart and can handle complex situations, even if I don't jive with his answers sometimes, he can cope with complex situations and I had a medical anthropologist tell me this week, "My brain is going to explode!" and she doesn't even know my tooth is totally infected and that I just squished a bedbug and need to be asleep right now. I wish you and MIT could fly here and save my diabetic ass. Goodnight.

    1. Tell those super Christians that Jesus said that everyone who does not meet him goes to hell, and that, when he was asked by people how to meet him, that he told them, that they could recognise him because he will one of weakest among them... Demand rightful wealth redistribution... That them also that no rich can enter kingdom of God. Belgium have 80% of tax on inheritance, Belgium is protecting own citizens to go to hell when they die. Only stable officially Catholic monarchies (if they had civil/industrial revolution before) like Belgium are able to do that.

    2. Of course average citizen of Belgium is worse off than average Saudi or Gulf Arab because King of Belgium cannot protect them from capitalists, because capitalistic oligarchy is stronger than king, unlike in those Arab countries which were colonised by UK and which were modernised by real Christian style monarchies.

  6. Maybe someone should have negotiated the release of Freddie Gray from that paddy wagon as the police falsified the charges against him, as having a "switch blade" when in fact it was not a switch blade, which means? He was charged under false pretenses as such he was in essence held against his will for no reason, therefore? He needed someone to rescue him i.e. hostage rescue situation due to his "false imprisonment" ! : /

  7. Now these police officers have some 'splainin to do ! So much for the police motto: "To Protect And To Serve" !
