The NWC had plenty of warning on Schindler and chose to ignore the perversions of this NSA spook, propagandist and fraud "professor" until it was too late; now their reputation and credibility are on the line and will be tested with this case
WAYNE MADSEN REPORT
By Wayne Madsen
06/24/2014
Last June, it might be recalled by our readers, this editor came under incessant attack after being interviewed by the UK Observer. I pointed out the existence of National Security Agency (NSA) "Third Party" signals intelligence agreements with several nations complaining about Edward Snowden's revelations that the NSA and its British partner, the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), had their own signals intelligence sharing and operational agreements with the NSA. Among these countries, I pointed out that France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Denmark were at the forefront of Third Party deals with the NSA. The front page interview was soon spiked in the Observer's second print edition, as well as by the paper's website and that of its sister publication, The Guardian.

NSA spook, pervert John Schindler |
One of the cheerleaders of the Twitter campaign directed against this editor and The Observer and Guardian was Naval War College professor John Schindler, who also claimed to be a one-time NSA SIGINT and counter-intelligence officer.
The following is just a sampling of the vitriol Schindler directed against me on Twitter and in interviews, such as one with Business Insider.com:
The Guardian Revealed A Major NSA 'Scoop' Then Deleted It From Their Website
John Schindler
, a professor at the Naval War College and intelligence expert, called Madsen "batsh-- crazy, to use the technical term." (BusinessInsider.com)
We have officially reached Peak Greenwald; if you need to rally Wayne Madsen as backup, it's entirely over.
@20committee Find someone nice who can slowly explain to you what a "byline" is.

And then there are these Twitter comments:
John Schindler @20committee
.@TeeMcSee@guardian It's not a good sign that you're running #NSA story with Wayne Madsen as source. He is just nuts, eg "MOSSAD did 9/11"
John Schindler @20committee 6h
.@intelwire@TeeMcSee@guardian Yes, Guardian is running #NSA story with Wayne Madsen as the source. Calling him a conspiracy nut is kind.
John Schindler @20committee 5h
@NomDePlume9@Green_Footballs@intelwire@TeeMcSee@guardian Most would see source being well known fabricator w fantasy issues...a problem
John Schindler 20@committee 5h
Really still can't believe a well known crank like Madsen could wind up in Anglosphere MSM. Desperation? Sometimes this Twitter thing works!
John Schindler 20@committee 6h
Short version of Madsen: Take pretty much any spy-like conspiracy theory fm last 30 yrs & he's come up with a crazier version, just add Jews
-----------
Within the last 24 hours, it has emerged that Schindler, who was so quick to disparage anyone who criticized NSA, those who supported Snowden as dupes for the Kremlin, and idiots for not possessing a PhD, has been placed under investigation by the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island over an alleged lewd unsolicited photograph sent to a female via Verizon's text messaging network. In addition, there were other suggestive text messages sent via Verizon texting, as well as an email sent via Yahoo.com. Schindler, who had thousands of eager followers for his anti-Russian, pro-NSA feeds on Twitter, has now suspended his Twitter account.
In answer to a question posed by WMR, the Naval War College's Public Affairs Office provided us with the following response on June 23:
"The Naval War College (NWC) received a complaint about inappropriate content allegedly created by a NWC faculty member and posted on social media.
 |
Rear Admiral Walter E. 'Ted' Carter Jr. |
In response to this complaint, Rear Admiral Walter E. 'Ted' Carter Jr., President, NWC, directed an investigation to inquire into the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegation.
The investigation team is currently investigating the alleged misconduct and will submit a report upon completion of their review.
To protect the integrity of an ongoing investigation, the NWC has no further comment at this time."
While no one should take pleasure in the personal problems of others, it was Schindler's constant verbal attacks against those with whom he disagreed which has spawned a great deal of on-line schadenfreude about the investigation by the Naval War College of his social media activities.

Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland |
Schindler often met on-line criticism of his pro-NSA writings and comments on such networks as MS-NBC with vitriolic personal attacks.
It should also be recalled that Schindler was in Twitter contact (below) with Geoffrey Pyatt, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, who, along with the foul-mouthed U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs ("Fuck the EU" she said in her phone call with Pyatt), handed out bread rolls to Maidan
Square protesters in Kiev.

The Naval War College is investigating the following text messages (the first has been redacted due to its graphic nature and the second because it deals with some personal issues involving a Schindler family member -- unlike Schindler's past personal attacks, WMR is not interested in disparaging innocent parties
).
