Wayne Madsen is an American online investigative journalist, author and columnist specializing in intelligence and international affairs.[1][2][3][4][5] He is the author of the blog Wayne Madsen Report.[6]
Contents
Background and early life
Madsen was born in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania on April 28, 1954 to an American mother and a Danish mariner. His grandmother, who emigrated to the U.S. with his father after World War II was Victoria Madsen, a Danish communist party official.[7][8] In the 1950s Victoria Madsen was deported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Madsen attended the University of Mississippi where he joined the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps.[9]
Career
Upon graduation from University of Mississippi, he joined the U.S. Navy. He was commissioned an ensign.
In early 1982 he was stationed at the classified Naval Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) station at Coos Head, which had an allowance of twelve officers, ninety-five enlisted and 15 civilians. He was later given a bad fitness report by his executive officer, Lt. Cmdr. Marney Finch who transferred him to Washington D.C. later that year.[10]
In 1984, Madsen reports that he was loaned to the National Security Agency by the Navy.[11] He resigned from the Navy in 1985 as a lieutenant, having been passed over for promotion. Madsen described himself as the "most senior lieutenant in the Navy".[12]
Between 1985 and 1989 Madsen held a series of jobs, first working for RCA as a government consultant on contracts for the National Security Agency (NSA). Later he worked for the Navy's Naval Data Automation Command as a civilian employee. After this Madsen briefly established his own consulting firm, then worked for the National Bureau of Standards, and later for the State Department.[11] In 1990 Madsen joined Computer Sciences Corporation, working there from 1990 until 1997,[11] when he joined the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) as a senior fellow. In 1998, while at EPIC, Madsen was described by journalist Jason Vest in the Village Voice as one of the world's leading SIGINT and computer security experts,[13] In late January 2005 Madsen left EPIC.[11] While at EPIC he appeared as a guest on 60 Minutes,[14] ABC Nightline,[15]Voice of America,[16] National Public Radio.,[17] and Marketplace,[18]
Blogging and journalism career
He has been described as an "odd individual" devoted to writing in an area that "teeters on a slippery slope, at the foot of which is the whole repository of Internet-perpetuated conspiracy theories" which leads to much of his writing being treated with skepticism.[19] In 2005 Madsen began working as a free-lance journalist. He produces a blog called the Wayne Madsen Report. His articles have appeared in publications such as CorpWatch, CounterPunch, CovertAction Quarterly, In These Times, Multinational Monitor, The American Conservative, The Progressive and The Village Voice. His columns have appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Columbus Dispatch, Houston Chronicle, Philadelphia Inquirer, Miami Herald and the Sacramento Bee.[9][20] He appeared on WETA-TV's "White House Chronicle" in January 2012.[21] He is a frequent contributor to the Alex Jones show.[22] He has appeared as a guest on Al Jazeera,[23] Russia Today,[24] Press TV,[25] and CNBC,.[26]

In 2003 he said that he had uncovered information in a classified congressional report that he claimed contained information linking the September 11 attacks to the government of Saudi Arabia and the Bush administration through financial transactions with the hijackers. The Saudi Foreign Minister demanded the report be declassified so it could respond, however, the Bush administration refused, claiming that to do so would compromise intelligence sources and methods.[27]
In a 2010 interview for Veterans Today, Madsen claimed that the 9/11 attacks were "an operation carried out by Mossad, Saudi intelligence,...and elements of the CIA." [28]
In 2013, after a week of investigation, Madsen concluded that Philip_Marshall was assassinated because of his books about 9/11.[29]

He has stated that members of AIPAC and Israel's Mossad dominate CNN's management and urges his readers to boycott CNN and its advertisers until they are fired. He has begun a project to oppose Israel as a threat to world peace.[32] Madsen has stated in an interview that "the Israeli lobby owns the Congress, media, Hollywood, Wall Street, both political parties and the White House".[33][34]

- ↑ At his first posting in Newport, Ensign Madsen was introduced to the "oldest lieutenant in the Navy". This lieutenant had presented himself for an interview with the controversial Admiral Hyman G. Rickover who told him "You have 15 seconds to piss me off" to which he replied by picking up a model submarine from the admiral's desk and smashing it. This lieutenant didn't get the position he was applying for, never attained further promotion and ended his career as the most senior lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. Madsen says that, when he himself resigned in 1985, he had the same status as the lieutenant he had met in Newport.
