Headline Story Killed Over National Security Concerns
Starstream Research has pulled an on-going investigative news article from publication at the request of an official of the U.S. government, and his associate in the private sector. In an email addressed to Starstream Research founder Gary S. Bekkum, the officer requested removal of his name and position, writing "These are irrelevant to your story and compromise personal and national security." Following redaction of the sensitive information, an associate of the officer raised additional concerns about the content of the story, resulting in an editorial decision to remove the article.
(PRWEB) July 9, 2006 -- Starstream Research has pulled an on-going investigative news article from publication at the request of an official of the U.S. government, and his associate in the private sector. In an email addressed to Starstream Research founder Gary S. Bekkum, the officer requested removal of his name and position, writing "These are irrelevant to your story and compromise personal and national security." Following redaction of the sensitive information, an associate of the officer raised additional concerns about the content of the story, resulting in an editorial decision to remove the article.
The request came in response to a Starstream Research inquiry about leaked background information that made its way into a widely distributed email list, resulting in exposure of the confidential identity of a government official who reports directly to John Negroponte, the Director of National Intelligence.
The story was briefly posted on July 5th, 2006, and shortly after removed from the Starstream Research website. The story was dropped prior to release through the on-line newspaper "The American Chronicle."
The original email included a series of allegations that were passed through various parties on the Internet, and shortly thereafter appeared in a series of emails distributed to an extensive list of contacts, including numerous scientists with government email addresses, a Nobel prize winner, various journalists, a former Director of the CIA, and other former and present government employees and consultants. Several of the recipients are high ranking intelligence officials and consultants to the U.S. government in the area of national security.
One of the allegations contained in the original series of messages was that Starstream Research founder Gary S. Bekkum was "a de-facto member of the Aquarium; we would expect you to play this on the wild side, relatively speaking," implying that Starstream Research might be part of an on-going counter-intelligence operation.
Bekkum denies that he is involved in any intelligence operation, "except to the extent that I maintain contacts with various individuals that sometimes provide interesting leads for our stories at the Starstream Research web site."
In the last year Starstream Research has focused on the CIA STAR GATE files, a collection of over eighty-thousand pages of previously classified documents about the efforts to use psychics to spy on targets that could not be accessed using conventional means. In 2005 Starstream Research uncovered a series of documents in the STAR GATE collection featuring imagery that strongly resembled the 9/11 events, suggesting that some of the psychic spies may have foreseen 9/11 in the 1980's. Many of the CIA released documents may be viewed at the Starstream Research web site at:
