Dr. Scott Bennett, formerly of the U.S. Army 11th Psychological Operations Battalion, attempted to blow the whistle by contacting the commercially-controlled media and writing to US politicians after being sacked from his job as terrorist finance investigator after he proved too zealous at the job.
Contents
Background
Scott Bennett had a background in advertising, before being fast tracked into the US military PSYOPS division, receiving a Direct Commission as an Officer, and held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmentalized Information (TS/SCI) security clearance.
Arrest and imprisonment
Some spurious charges were leveled at Bennett, which lead to his being imprisoned with whistleblower Brad Birkenfeld, who had also been framed. After some period of puzzling over documents which Birkenfeld held, Bennett's experience at tracking terrorist financers allowed him to understood the connections. Birkenfeld was later awarded over $100M as a whistleblower in connection with the 19,000 bank accounts which he had discovered while investigating money laundering at UBS.
Whistleblowing
Bennett submitted two reports to congress. The first warned of the impending 2012 Benghazi attack in Libya. The second concerned complicity by banks in terrorist financing, and how civilian US Government officials conspired to cover this up.[1]
Attempts to blow the whistle
Bennett compiled a large report based largely on the material given him by Brad Birkenfeld, but combined with his own experience. No one in the military was interested enough to get back to him, nor was Dianne Feinstein, chair of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. No one in the commercially-controlled media expressed any interest in his revelations.
Shell Game - Report To Congress
On memorial day, May 27, 2013, Bennett submitted an 83 page "whistleblowing report to the United States Congress". It was entitled "Shell Game: The Betrayal and Cover-up by the U.S. Government of the Union Bank of Switzerland-Terrorist Threat Finance Connection to Booz Allen Hamilton and U.S. Central Command".[1]
Media coverage=
On 1st October, 2014, Bennett was interviewed by Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot.[2] While in prison, he was interviewed by two reporters from the commercially-controlled media for a story about security clearances. He spoke for about 2 hours. Subsequently, about 3 lines were written about him, not including mention of the events he had testified about.[3] Due to lack of corporate media coverage, he was deemed "not notable" by Wikipedia.
