The Scorpion's Gate is a geopolitical thriller by former United States
intelligence and Counterterrorism official Richard A. Clarke. The
Scorpion's Gate is his first novel, but it is not his first book —
unlike his non-fiction policy books this is an attempt to convey vital
foreign policy ideas through fiction. The subtitle on the cover reads:
"Sometimes you can tell more truth through fiction." The hardcover
edition is 320 pages long.
A coup in Saudi Arabia topples the
sheiks and installs an Islamic government in its place. The weaknesses
of the new government, combined with the oil riches of the country,
attract attention from all over the world as larger, oil-hungry
countries attempt to realign the map of the Middle East.

Richard
Alan Clarke (born October 27, 1950) is the former National Coordinator
for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism for the
United States.
Clarke worked for the State Department during the
presidency of Ronald Reagan. In 1992, President George H.W. Bush
appointed him to chair the Counter-terrorism Security Group and to a
seat on the United States National Security Council. President Bill
Clinton retained Clarke and in 1998 promoted him to be the National
Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and
Counter-terrorism, the chief counter-terrorism adviser on the National
Security Council. Under President George W. Bush, Clarke initially
continued in the same position, but the position was no longer given
cabinet-level access. He later became the Special Advisor to the
President on cybersecurity, before leaving the Bush administration in
2003.
Clarke came to widespread public attention for his role as
counter-terrorism czar in the Clinton and Bush administrations in March
2004, when he appeared on the 60 Minutes television news magazine,
released his memoir about his service in government, Against All
Enemies, and testified before the 9/11 Commission. In all three
instances, Clarke was sharply critical of the Bush administration's
attitude toward counter-terrorism before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and
of the decision to go to war with Iraq. Following Clarke's strong
criticisms of the Bush administration, Bush administration officials and
other Republicans attempted to discredit him or rebut his criticisms,
making Clarke a controversial figure.

Alex Jones Show - Commercial Free Podcast: Tuesday (1-7-13) William Jasper & Dr. Christopher Busby
On this Tuesday, January 7 edition of the Alex Jones Show, Alex
continues his coverage of the Fukushima radioactive ocean plume making
its way toward the West coast of the United States. Officialdom in
California remains perplexed by an increase of radiation and has
downplayed its significance. Alex also takes a look at a call from the
corporatist media for Obama to dispense with Congress, the Constitution
and the American people and demand he instead rule by decree like a
Roman autocrat. On today's show, Alex talks with Dr. Christopher Busby, a
director of Green Audit Limited and a visiting professor at the School
of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Ulster. Dr. Busby talks
about the growing threat of Fukushima radiation. Alex also welcomes back
to the program William F. Jasper, a researcher, author and editor of
The New American. Jasper talks about transatlantic convergence and the
under the radar threat of a globalist contrived Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership. Infowars Nightly News reporter Lee Ann McAdoo
files a report from outside the Austin, Texas city council where
anti-fluoride activists are holding a hunger strike.
