The American Taliban and the Salvadoran Oligarchy CIA Trainee*

INDICTED BY THE FACTS
Cross-posted at the Now Public.

Having discovered that Markos C. A.Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (MAMZ), (founder and owner of DailyKos) has a long history of participation in and support of the Republican Party and, moreover, trained or worked or "interviewed" with the US Central Intelligence Agency betwee 2001 and 2003, now research into the life and history of Markos C. A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (MAMZ) has revealed and established the following facts and, therefore, justice and history now bring this thirty-one count indictment of Markos C. A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (MAMZ):

1). Markos C. A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA was actively at Central Intelligence Agency offices in Washington, DC, training to become a CIA agent for two years, between 2001 and 2003, with or without pay. (Listen carefully to MAMZ's speech to the Commonwealth Club, San Francisco, on June 2, 2006.) He says that he started training at the CIA to be a "secret agent" in 2001 and finished his training when the Howard Dean campaign took off, which was in 2003. Since secret agents are trained to offer cover stories, false backgrounds and provide false information, therefore, nothing that MAMZ, his supporters and associates say can be accepted at face value.

2). Markos C. A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA was born in Chicago, not in El Salvador. Therefore, he is a US citizen and is NOT and never was an immigrant, in spite of his habitual assertions to the contrary.

3). Markos C. A. Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) has used at least three aliases, including Mark Moulitsas, and Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga and Markos Moulitsas and Markos C. A. Moulitsas. No one seems to know MAMZ's complete name with certainty, but it certainly is not what he has said it is.

4). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA lied when he said "I don’t have money. I don’t come from a famous or powerful family. I was an immigrant to the United States." CatoUnbound.Org:Markos Moulitsas [ZÚÑIGA] Counter to the rags to riches immigrant story MAMZ has conveniently adopted recently for public consumption, MAMZ has said that he can and does "always close the door" on immigrant identity "in detached selfishness."

5). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA was a Ronald Reagan Republican, taking credit for supporting Ronald Reagan, campaigning for George. H.W. Bush, and for Republican Representative Henry Hyde, the House prosecutor in the Clinton impeachment hearings.

6). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (MAMZ) is not a "liberal" and he is not a "progressive." In an essay submitted to the Northern Illinois University campus newspaper, the Northern Star, MAMZ strenuously opposed ALL service by gays in the US military, a position more extremely Republican and discriminatory than that taken by many other military members and conservatives. Northern Star

7). Like David Duke and the Klu Klux Klan, Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA promotes "states rights," a codeword for opposition to integration and determined acts and policies of segregation. Is DailyKos a White Supremacist Group?

8). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA has told the media, without naming her, that his mother "returned to El Salvador several years ago to run a hotel." San Francisco Gate

9). In fact, Mr. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s family owns a sumptuous and “exclusive” resort hotel and tourism conglomerate in El Salvador called the "Club Joya del Pacífico" (Club Jewel of the Pacific) a unit of which is the (Jaltepeque Suites Hotel).

10). Demonstrating his connection to these, what MAMZ has called "family business" interests, Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA invited his wife, friends and family to celebrate his honeymoon with him at the this Jaltepeque Suites Hotel after he was married in the year 2000. (For some reason, the original link no longer works. Fortunately, we have two screenshots from his wedding album, including their web addresses, to prove that the album was public before its significance was pointed out. And now it's gone.)

11). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA ZÚÑIGA's "family business" actually received five million dollars in foreign investments between 1997 and 2000, immediately before the period in which MAMZ states that he sought work at the CIA because he was "underemployed, unemployed." Audiotape of 2006 Speech to the Commonwealth Club.

12). Carlos Alberto Delgado Zúñiga, the “family” member listed in government records as “manager” of the Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s hotel is also president of the “Junta Directiva” of the CÁMARA SALVADOREÑA DE TURISMO (CASATUR), the national tourism board of El Salvador, according to El Salvador's "La Prensa" newspaper. He has aggregated power in El Salvador through participation in a series of interlocking tourism-related directorates and has used this power to facilitate the destruction of the Jaltepeque Estuary by his hotel conglomerate, Club Jewel of the Pacific, even though the Jaltepeque Estuary is universally recognized by international groups as an endangered habitat for imperiled marine life.

Why Has Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (M.A.M.Z.) Lied About His Wealthy Salvadoran Oligarchy Family Background?

13). Carlos Alberto Delgado Zúñiga, the man listed in public documents as the “manager” of the Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s Jaltepeque Suites Hotel, is also president of the “Junta Directiva” of the CÁMARA SALVADOREÑA DE TURISMO (CASATUR), the national tourism board of El Salvador. In addition, he is a member of the member of the “Junta Directiva” of the “Sistema de Integración de Centroamerica” (System for Integration of Central America).

14). The man listed as the manager of the Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s hotel is also named in Salvadoran Government documents as the “ADMINISTRADOR UNICO PROPIETARIO” (Administrator Sole Proprietor) of PRODUCTOS TURISTICOS Y OTROS, SOCIEDAD ANONIMA DE CAPITAL VARIABLE - PROTURO, S.A. DE C.V. CNR.GOB.SV: Names and Credentials

15).Proturo, S.A. de C.V. is also known as the “Baja Salt Group,” which does business as “Baja Salt.”

16). Baja Salt distributes table salt and industrial salt in the United States, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Central and South America, and maintains offices in Odessa, Texas, where President George W. Bush was born. This Odessa, Texas office shares a telephone number, fax number and physical address with a peculiar equipment rental and petroleum industry business, Light Tower Rentals, Ltd, listed along with Halliburton Energy Services Group in the Texas organization records of USA Oilfield. These activities associated with Carlos Alberto Delgado Zúñiga's Baja Salt Group have not been sufficiently explained. See "The Secret "Family Business" of Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga (DailyKos)"

17). Baja Salt is the sole Central American distributor for the salt produced by Mexico’s Exportadora de Sal, S.A. (ESSA).

18). Baja Salt/ESSA is a notorious polluter of pristine grey whale and sea turtle spawning grounds and habitat in Baja Mexico.

19). ESSA is represented in its environmental pollution cases by the same Skadden, Arps powerhouse law firm that represents The Carlyle Group.

20). The internationally powerful Carlos Alberto Delgado ZÚÑIGA , the “family” member listed in government records as “manager” of the Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s hotel (see screenshot) was on the organizational member board of El Salvador’s ANEP, the Asociación Nacional de Empresas Privadas (National Association of Private Corporations).

21). ANEP is listed by the US Central Intelligence Agency as a right-wing political pressure group.

22). ANEP is "a lobby of El Salvador’s most influential businessmen" that advocates free markets and “wants to privatize El Salvador’s water delivery” and its hospitals, which has led to large popular demonstrations in El Salvador against ANEP’s pro-corporate policies. CountryData.Com

23). The large national and international corporate members of ANEP were the principal political opponents of Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero at the time when he was assassinated. CIA: Political Pressure Groups Mongabay.com

24). ANEP ran a vigorous media campaign against El Salvador’s populist Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero in the months that led up to his assassination on March 24 1980.

25). The corporate members of ANEP were the principal political opponents of Catholic Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero when he was assassinated. CIA: Political Pressure Groups Mongabay.com

26). While Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA was supporting Ronald Reagan and campaigning for other Republicans, the Reagan Administration provided billions of dollars in military and other aid to the Salvadoran Government and to the right-wing pressure groups believed to be responsible for the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero.

Total United States aid to El Salvador rose from US$264.2 million in fiscal year (FY) 1982 to an estimated US$557.8 million in FY 1987. On average over this period, economic aid exceeded military aid by more than a two-to-one ratio.

Economic aid was provided in the form of Economic Support Funds (ESF), food aid under Public Law 480 (P.L. 480), and development aid administered by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). ESF was intended to provide balance of payments support to finance essential non food imports. Assistance with food imports as well as the direct donation of foodstuffs was accomplished through the P.L. 480 program. Development aid covered a broad spectrum of projects in such fields as agriculture, population planning, health, education, and training. For FY 1987, regular non supplemental ESF appropriations totaled US$181.7 million, and combined food and development aid amounted to US$122.7 million. The regular FY 1987 appropriation for military aid was US$116.5 million. Mongabay.Com: Country Studies/El Salvador

27). In 1983, another source provided the U.S. embassy with a chilling account of how death-squad operations were planned, financed and executed. According to the source, these right-wing death squads, which were all connected to D'Aubuisson's group,

“get their orders from paymasters in the Sol family ... younger members of the de Sola family and some members of the National Association of Businessmen (ANEP) ... The chain of command then proceeds to death-masters like [deleted] [who] have contacts with retired officers who go around to the different security forces as "black bag" men, paying off and recruiting likely foot-soldiers. The latter are recruited at the lower and even middle levels (captains and majors) of the different security forces. Death squad hit-men thus recruited are on the receiving end of a vertical hierarchy leading up to the paymasters (whom the foot-soldiers do not know...).”Center for International Policy

28). In spite of the leadership role of Carlos Alberto Delgado ZÚÑIGA in ANEP, and ANEP's role in the events leading to the assassination of Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero, Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA has told the public and his supporters -- cynically and as part of a continuing history of misinformation and deception -- that Archbishop Oscar Romero was one of his "heroes."

29). DailyKos practices blog apartheid, banning Black voices and restricting overall minority membership to less than 4% of membership. Is DailyKos a White Supremacist Group?

30). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA could not be unaware of these facts, and yet, through dozens or hundreds of media interviews, he has persistently hid his knowledge of these facts, and of his family’s role, from his supporters and from the American public.

31). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA has lied to the public about whom he really is, and he is not the person who he pretends to be, but is an impostor who makes a mockery of progressive people and progressive values.

Still, myriad questions remain and demand to be answered about his activities:

1). Why has Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA NEVER, EVER revealed in public the name of even ONE of his blood relatives?

2). What is the name of the uncle of Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA who was once the Minister of Education in El Salvador (if he in fact exists at all)?

3. Why has Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA not revealed that the “manager” of his “family business” in El Salvador, Carlos Alberto Delgado ZÚÑIGA , was a member of the organization member board of ANEP?
4). Who is Maria Elizabeth ZÚÑIGA de Delgado, the woman listed in Salvadoran Government documents as “Alternate Administrator” of Proturo, S.A. de S.V.?

5). To what degree does Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA stand to benefit financially from the ongoing financial and political activities of Carlos Alberto Delgado ZÚÑIGA, Maria Elizabeth ZÚÑIGA de Delgado, Club Joya del Pacífico, the Jaltepeque Suites Hotel unit, the Baja Salt (Group), PROTURO, ESSA, ANEP, Light Tower Rentals of Odessa, Texas, and any related persons, corporations, groups, economic and political activities?

6). Why has Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA never acknowledged, disavowed and disconnected himself from these activities?

7). Is Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA now receiving and/or has he ever received (e.g. in 2001) payments or other compensation from the US Government, directly or indirectly, for his intelligence work or other activities? (Please refer to and review now the audiotape of MAMZ's comments to at the Commonwealth Club on June 2, 2006, in San Francisco, CA.)

8). Why has Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA lied about so many things to so many people and why did he suddenly begin to present himself as a "progressive" during the period of his at least six-months involvement with the Central Intelligence Agency?

9). Why would any responsible candidate or voter of the Democratic Party accept money or advice from an self-acknowledged two-year CIA applicant/trainee?

10). With so many serious and troubling questions raised about the work and history of Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA and his family, the judgment of justice and history call upon and compel the public, the media and elected officials to reevaluate the truth and history of Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA, carefully comparing his unverified stories and self-serving propaganda to the facts documented above.

"Many Liberals Reject Markos Moulitsas's Anti-Conservative Book", says Atlantic Wire

I don't usually follow Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga's (MAMZ's) histrionic behavior because I find his past much more interesting than his present, and his future remains to be seen.  Nonetheless, it appears with regard to MAMZ's most recent book, according to the Atlantic Wire, that, "Many Liberals Reject Markos Moulitsas's Anti-Conservative Book."  Those rejecting the book say that it's absurd, jaundiced and simply wrong to compare the half of America that votes Republican to the Taliban.

Read the Atlantic Wire article and the other articles cited there, if you wish.   For my part, I think I have better things to do with this Sunday afternoon. The "news" that MAMZ's latest book is idiotic is not news to me at all.

Frankly, I'm more amused and intrigued by the creative efforts of his enemies to convince the public that MAMZ engages in homosexual sex acts.  Since MAMZ opposed ALL gay service in the US military, it certainly is relevant to discover whether he did so hypocritically, as a homophobic homosexual.

Was Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúniga's (MAMZ's) virulently homophobia letter "associated with homosexual arousal?"

Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) wrote a letter in which he vehemently opposed the participation of ALL gays in the military.  When we see the level of homophobia in that letter, we cannot help but ask ourselves whether the following study helps us to better understand the mind of MAMZ.  And so I quote the following abstract of  Journal of Abnormal Psychology study:

J Abnorm Psychol. 1996 Aug;105(3):440-5.

Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?

Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA.

Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602-3013, USA.

Abstract

The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.

Gay Bashing and Responses in the Public Square

Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta,

from Jack and Jill Politics Discussion of the Bishop's Alleged Sexual Relationships

with Young People from Within His "Ministry"

Some people say Bishop Eddie Long is "innocent until proven guilty."  They forget that Constitutional Due Process includes the right to be considered innocent BY THE GOVERNMENT until proven guilty in a court of law. Nothing compels private citizens to refrain from drawing our own conclusions from the evidence that is available, and nothing compels us to accept or wait for the decision of a jury or judge, in our own opinions and beliefs.

It is true that if we assert to others that private citizens are guilty of a crime or shameful behavior when they are NOT GUILTY of that crime, then we may be liable for slander and/or libel. But TRUTH is a complete defense to a legal action alleging slander or libel. And a fact-based belief that a public figure has committed horrid acts is enough to go on, because public figures criticize homosexuals in the public square and they must expect public scrutiny of themselves as well.

So, if I have enough information to say with some level of certainty that satisfies me that a very public minister figure's actions have been horrid, there is nothing that prevents me, as a private citizen, from saying so, even before the "minister" has been found guilty in a court of law.

Moreover, when the "pastor" is a public figure, his right to allege slander or libel are reduced. When he steps into the national fray to express his opinions about homosexuality, others have a right to express their opinions about HIS sexuality.

I, however, am content to let the information come out, as it sometimes does, and let the public come to its own conclusions, one person (or thousands) at a time.

Many of us are afraid to "smear" public figures, and we define "smear" as "reporting true or false information that makes someone look bad." To me, a smear is reporting FALSE information that makes someone look bad. Meanwhile, reporting TRUE information is what blogs are made for.

Take Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga, for example. Am I smearing him by pointing out to the public that he published a letter in his college newspaper in which he vehemently opposed ALL gay service in the US military, calling it "inherently uncomfortable" and and an assault on his "sensibilities" to serve in the Armed Forces alongside gay people? That's what he said, and while having said so makes him look bad, I am not smearing him by publishing the Truth About Kos.

As quoted at Jack and Jill Politics, one group decided to confront public figures' gaybashing this way:

"Each day for one week Keith and I profiled a Black pastor highlighting his relationship with the Bush Administration, recent homophobic gay comments, and ending with the question, is this pastor gay? "

Hmmmmm. Maybe we should give all public figures, especially people like US Senator Larry Craig and Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga, the same treatment. If we don't know what the 'C' in Moulitsas Zúñiga's name stands for, there's probably a lot more that we don't know.  As Jack and Jill Politics said yesterday,  Where There's Smoke . . .

DailyKos: "Is this a Democratic Blog?" (W/Color-Aroused Comments)

Yesterday at DailyKos, (while I was taking a little vacation) LynneK posted a diary in which she asked in the title, "Is this a Democratic Blog?"  LynneK questioned the sincerity of DailyKos and Markos C.Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) receiving advertising dollars from the Republican National Congressional Committee, in exchange for exposing and referring DailyKos viewers to Republican Party. 

 . . . I must say that in the past few days, some of the ads have made me wonder. In the past 24 hours, at the top of the home page, have been ads for Republican websites, Republican candidate's donation pages, and even an ad for the Republican Congressional Committee.

( . . . )

This morning, the ad for the RNCC was right at the top of the page, while the frontpage articles were all regarding the disaster that is the Republican Party. It felt to me like I had stepped straight into an episode of "The Twilight Zone." It was surreal to see that ad on this site, which has been referred to by the Republican Party as "The Great Orange Satan."

 In the comments, Bink  posed the question,

Against Despair

[ Parent ](Emphasis added.)

Affecting a pseudo-"Black English" grammar, e.g. "I HAZ" is a common way that color-aroused white antagonists engage in color-aroused-white antagonistic verbal behavior.  For another example, look to cheeseburger.com  Apparently someone thinks it's funny to post a photograph in which the caption reads,  "Ar u da nu slave I haz hired?"  Cylegage claims that no one knows the skin color of others on the Internet, but this is simply untrue.   Merely by his use of the word "haz" an attempt to be funny, I know that Cylegage is white. 

Blacks do not find any of this funny, and this may help to explain why DailyWhitosphere has a four percent Black readership, event though with Blacks constitute 20% of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention--a group with which DailyKos claims to have an alliance. Blacks (4%) and Latinos (1%) don't need or want to go online and engage in sites where we will constantly see whites behaving in ways that are antagonistic to us and to our participation.

Thankfully, we have the Truth About Kos blog, and no one need participate at DailyKos for a nearly a year, as I did, before learning that DK is a blog started by a CIA trainee concurrent with his training to be a "secret agent" (his words) for the CIA. 



When a zealous Republican Party and CIA trainee starts an ostensibly left-wing blog, that's not the mark of  leftists "crashing the gates" of the Democratic Party.  It seems more to me like the mark of Republicans and extreme rightists infiltrating the Democratic Party.

If you're looking to participate in a a "liberal," "leftist," or "progressive" blog, then you will probably have to start your own, since the leftistsphere seems to be infiltrated by individuals with thoroughly sources connections to the Republican Party and the CIA (see transcript of MAMZ's confession  and listen to the audiotape based on which the transcription was prepared).

Also, if you want to know what the Democratic Party is thinking, DailyWhitosphere is the wrong place to find out.  As Quantcast is constantly publicizing, 93% of DailyWhitosphere readers are white.  That leaves very little room for the opinions of Blacks (12.8% of the nation and 20% of the Democratic Party, but only 4% aat DailyKos) as well as Latinos (a populous larger than Blacks in this nation, but constituting only 1% of DailyKos readership, plus or minus one percent).  It's certainly worth pondering why a blog started by a second-generation Salvadoran in the US only has 1% participation by Latinos.

LynneK and her eighteen supporters may not be aware of it, but simply by posting this diary or indicating their agreement with it, they may discover that some of the same people who ridiculed this diary will be among those making determined efforts to drive these "truth trolls" (people who insist on pointing out facts and contradictions) away from DailyKos. I am frankly surprised that the censors there permitted the link to this blog.

Best wishes to all of the valiant truth trolls at DailyKos.  Each time you contradict the story that MAMZ and his minions have told about MAMZ and his blog, you create another Google link on the Internet where readers can discover who the real MAMZ really is.

How Markos Moulitsas REALLY Got Rich

All too many people believe the literally incredible rags to riches story that Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga told, e.g. La Prensa Grafica, about how he became super rich.  The following quote is from the last paragraph of the La Prensa Gráfica article whose screen shot is above.  (Although the link is copied into the right margin of the screen shot, the link no longer works.  Thank goodness we have a screen shot of this article in which MAMZ told a number of bold-faced lies.) 

"In the world before the Internet, someone like me could never have reached this level of success.  I don't have money. I don't come from a famous or powerful family.  I was an immigrant to the United States.  Technology gave me the opportunity to create a publication with more than a million viewers a day without investing a lot of money.   The cost of starting the site was one hundred dollars."

To see how absolutely and purposefully untruthful that is, just refer to a couple of the links cited in The Indictment of Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (MAMZ) by Justice and History (Updated with Additional Information and Counts):

8). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA has told the media, without naming her, that his mother "returned to El Salvador several years ago to run a hotel." San Francisco Gate

9). In fact, Mr. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s family owns a sumptuous and “exclusive” resort hotel and tourism conglomerate in El Salvador called the "Club Joya del Pacífico" (Club Jewel of the Pacific) a unit of which is the (Jaltepeque Suites Hotel).

10). Demonstrating his connection to these, what MAMZ has called "family business" interests, Markos C.A.

18). Baja Salt/ESSA is a notorious polluter of pristine grey whale and sea turtle spawning grounds and habitat in Baja Mexico.

Markos Moulitsas got rich simply by being born into the Zúñiga family to a mother who owned a hotel on prime beachfront land in El Salvador. There might be several more answers to the question of how he continues to get rich, but how he initially became rich is explained above.

It seems likely that when Markos Moulitsas' mother dies (which all people do eventually), Moulitsas will inherit a substantial portion of the "family hotel" as well.

Public Still Googling, "Is Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga Gay?"

One reader of this blog expresses concern that I could be perceived as homophobic if I continue reporting that the public wants to know whether Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) is gay or not, as I pointed out here and here and many other times.  As I said back in August of 2009,

I don't think anyone should "out" gays out of antagonism toward gays or a homophobic desire to embarrass gays. However, when public figures who are secretly gay make a public point and spectacle of denouncing gays publicly, while denying their own private and strong homosexual desires, and sometimes homesexual behavior, then I believe it is constructive to "out" such public figures."

I actually find it discouraging that so many people are interested in MAMZ's sexuality relative to the number of people interested in his self-professed connections to the US Central Intelligence Agency. However, this blog is called "Truth About Kos" because I report the truth, even when it does not directly support or contradict my hypotheses. Whether MAMZ is gay or not has little to do with whether he is infiltrating and distorting the leftist and pseudo-leftist blogosphere for the CIA. 

However, MAMZ's past statements in vehement opposition to ANY AND ALL gay participation in the US military are just one more aspect of his Republican past that make his present protestations of "leftism" seem absurdly incredible

I believe the public is capable of reading MAMZ lettera gainst all gay participation in the military (which letter  I researched, located and published, ) and the GBLT and heterosexual public can easily figure out who despises gays but fears that he, himself, has been insufficiently manly at times in his life.

Reporting what shows up on my Site Meter is not homophobic .  It's a recognition of the interest in MAMZ's sexuality in light of his past public statements.  I certainly hope that those who come here to discover whether he is gay will also discover his professed relationship to the CIA.

Many Truth About Kos Readers Find Sought-After Information

One gay blogger wrote that "Markos Moulitsas is a hypocritical jackass" for opposing gay rights and claiming to be a "liberal blogger."  As the editor and chief writer of the Truth About Kos blog, I watch the Site Meter regularly to find out what brings people to this blog and whether they are finding the information for which they are looking.  In many cases, people come to this blog after googling the phrase "gay Kos," simply because there is a gay island mecca in Greece by the name of "Kos".  Although those people visit the blog, they immediately leave because they are not getting the sought-after information about the gay-friendly Greek island mecca.



What I find much more rewarding is when people come to this blog after they Google "Kos + CIA," (with 982,000 relevant pages at Google) and those readers find exactly what they are seeking.  People also come to this blog after googling "Moulitsas + CIA" (23,000 relevant pages at Google).  They also visit after googling "DailyKos + CIA" (for which there are 711,000 relevant pages at Google).



Those who come here for that information find a treasure trove of background information about MAMZ, his family, and his family's political history, business assets and commercial interests in El Salvador. They also find a transcript of an audio speech in which MAMZ said that he "would have no problem working for the CIA in the present," AND in which he says that he spent two years in training with the CIA to become a "secret agent."

Apart from the gay mecca island of "Kos" in Greece, the Site Meter also tells me that many others come to this blog to find out whether MAMZ is gay (287,000 relevant hits at Google), which has become a persistent rumor, as this article explains and explores.  And while those visitors are disappointed to learn that I cannot tell them that Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga is gay, they DO find a letter and an article, both written by MAMZ himself, that cast serious doubt on MAMZ's own sense that he is enough of a "real man."



I wouldn't think that issue was relevant if MAMZ hadn't written a letter opposing ALL gay service in the US military, and then subsequently written an article in which he says that he joined the US Army in an attempt to become and to feel more like  a "real man."

Needless to say, there are literally billions of men, in the USA and elsewhere, who do not join the US Army and who nevertheless are able to feel like real men without that experience.  MAMZ tells us quite clearly that he is NOT one of the men who could feel like real man without joining the US Army.

What most provides me most pleasure and political vindication (after being banned from DailyKos for criticizing its virtually all-white readers and its owner) is when readers come here and spend five, ten or thirty minutes reading several pages of this Truth About Kos blog.  The time that they spend here and the fact that they view several pages confirms their interest in learning who MAMZ really is that the extensive research I and Stu Piddy have done on MAMZ and his family background is time that has not gone to waste.  Indeed, there are many people in the United States of America who are able to put down discussions of color-arousal long enough to wonder whether the man sitting next to them at Netroots Nation board meetings is a CIA operative, and what are the implications and ramifications of that.

Some people have no concerns over the fact that a leading "leftist" blogger might be receiving his marching orders from the CIA.  I am among the people who sees CIA infiltration of the American Left as a threat to our efficacy as a political force.  So anything that makes MAMZ's dubious background more well-known is all to the good, in spite of anonymous criticisms that I too often point out that MAMZ has expressed a strong concern about gay men looking at this underpants, AND about undressing in front of "members of the opposite sex."  If you feel "inherently uncomfortable" being naked in the presence of gays AND heterosexual women, then who does that leave?

I'm sure MAMZ minions will feel relieved that I am not interested in what MAMZ is doing today and am content to have utterly exposed him for what he is, thereby discrediting in reasonable and thinking people's minds all that he does today.  Anyone who cavorts with him in spite of the fact that his background is so thoroughly documented is a person who wants to be deceived or simply doesn't mind potentially becoming a CIA asset.

Nonetheless, I do follow up on tips that readers place in the comments, particularly if they include links to some new piece of information about which readers should be aware.  I publish guest pieces from others if every single one of their assertions is supported by sufficient documentation that readers can consult for themselves.  And readers are welcome to contact me at francislholland at gmail.com if they have anything useful to contribute.  Ad hominem nonsense and arguments without facts are better posted in the comments, thank you.

People who want to defend MAMZ are welcomed to do so in the comments.  Unfortunately, they never, ever offer any citations to support their assertions and blind confidence in the man who may well be their CIA handler.  Still, I do not censor reader comments, no matter how uninformed and mindless I personally believe them to be.  Often their defenses of MAMZ give me ideas for new lines of research and sources that I had not considered before.  So, I welcome MAMZ minions here and will give them all of the respect they deserve.

For example, the more that MAMZ minion participants at MyLeftWing doubted MAMZ's connection to his Salvadoran oligarchy family (see sidebar), the more I was challenged to prove, conclusively, the nature and extent of those contacts, to the extent possible.  (I still have not determined MAMZ's precise familial relationship to Carlos Alberto Delgado Zúñiga.  Maybe one of the MAMZ minion visitors to this blog will research that and get back to us with more information?) 

Best of all about the Truth About Kos is that you'll find hundreds of links documenting the facts cited here, many of which are in the right sidebar, with none of the "ipse dixit" that masquerades as "credibility" in the whitosphere.

How did MAMZ get the CIA's Permission to "Crash the Gates" of the Democratic Party?

The problem with the Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ), DailyKos, it's Front-Page Writers, Trusted Users, and others who operate DailyKos is that they do so for reasons other than the reasons announced.  They have a private group of nationally known bloggers, by invitation only, called the Townhouse Group.  The Townhouse group gets together (mostly over the Internet, probably) and decides what the American Left will say and what the Left will avoid saying. The problem with this is that at least one founder of this group is a CIA-trained manipulator.

Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) acknowledges having spent two years training with the CIA, and also said in a June 2, 2006 interview at the Commonwealth Club:

I’ve never had any problem with the CIA. I’d have no problem working for them. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA at the Commonwealth Club. 

See transcript and listen to the audiotape for confirmation.
  
MAMZ has never denied that he does work for the CIA at the present, so the information we have, based on his comments, is only that, after training with the CIA, he'd "have no problem working for them."  Maybe HE DOES work for them!  Has anyone asked him and been told otherwise?

Having a CIA agent among the ranks of bloggers of the American Left is like having a convicted pedophile working at a your child's nursery school.  There are laws and corporate policies to prevent that from happening because everyone can see how fundamentally wrong it is to risk the safety of children by hiring someone who is inherently untrustworthy and sexually manipulative.  A CIA agent working among bloggers presents a similar level of risk.  After all, what do "secret agents" learn at the CIA if not manipulation of the groups which they infiltrate?

Since Stu Piddy and I disseminated the information on MAMZ's connection to the CIA, the idea of having a CIA agent working among the Left has become normalized, ostensibly because, in the words of one Black blogger who works directly with MAMZ setting up the yearly Netroots Nation conferences:  "" 

You can't read what the front page writers at DailyKos post for the purpose of determining whether they are sincere or not. You have to ask yourself what purpose the CIA would have in setting up DailyKos.  As Stu Piddy first observed, MAMZ has acknowledged that he was in training at the CIA when he started DailyKos. Pardon me for letting my imagination roam, but I can just imagine MAMZ's conversation with his secret-agent training supervisor at the CIA when MAMZ announced that in his spare time he was starting a "leftist" blog for "crashing the gates" of the Democratic Party:

MAMZ:  Bob, you're my supervisor and there's something I think you should know.  I know the CIA is usually a tool of the rich and a hammer over the head of poor people around the globe, but do you think it would be OK if I start a leftist blog about Leftist revolution while I'm still training at the CIA?

BOB, the CIA Supervisor: We know that you've been working on doing that because we listen in on your telephone conversations and we read your e-mail while you're in training at the CIA. I'm glad you've come to me with this idea instead of forcing me to confront you about it.

MAMZ: You've known all along that I want to be wealthy and famous, like my uncle (?) in El Salvador and you haven't said anything to me about it?

BOB, the Boss: (Begins to smile a devilish smile.) Yes, MAMZ, the truth is we think you starting a Leftist blog is an EXCELLENT idea, and we have a whole team of Internet experts, writers and, psy-ops psychologists who can help you to do this on a major level, with international influence.

MAMZ: But would the CIA help me to do this and expect nothing in return?

BOB: We would expect nothing in return other than your obedience, because we believe we can secretly use your blog and the contacts you make to control the entire American Left AND influence the media that the Left and everyone else reads.

MAMZ: Oh, OK. So, I can start my blog?

BOB: Sure! There's a large airplane hanger-sized office where you can work on your blog that's going to be the size of a Wal-Mart store, and we'll have your team assembled within a week. We even have someone contacting the other "Leftist" blogs so that you can all work in tandem.

MAMZ: Oh thanks! I knew you would understand!

BOB: I understand a lot more than you'll ever know, MAMZ.

While we don't know that the interaction occurred precisely as I say it did, we do know with certainty that it would be impossible to become a well-known "leftist" blogger while training to be a secret agent at the CIA without the issue coming up.  We should ALL want to know how that issue was resolved; what MAMZ got; and what the CIA got.  We should also wonder whether the training he received at the CIA was, from the beginning, precisely for the purpose of infiltrating and manipulating the American Left.

What feeds the rumor that Markos Moulitsas is gay?

Kos (MAMZ) apparently wearing red lipstick.

I've always wondered how rumors seemingly credible and well-known get started. There seem to be a few key points, based strictly on my own observation:

• The target of the rumor is well-know or becomes well-known within a given culture or sub-culture as the rumor spreads.
• The rumor seems to explain other well-known facts that are otherwise inexplicable.
• The people spreading the rumor (if its perceived as negative) are people who never liked the target of the rumor in the first place.
• It is virtually impossible to stop the spread of the rumor, if only because the public target's denial of the purported or strongly suspected facts would tend to spread the rumor further, and get more of the public involved in the quest for the truth, which might well confirm the rumor.
• Rumors must be "sticky" in the sense that they capture suspicions and the imagination of the public, which makes individuals want to pass on the information to others.  "Making a site sticky means that you are giving your readers what they want, and giving them a reason to stay on the site. " 

In the case of Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ), the rumor is that he is a closeted gay homophobe.  This rumor is perceived as credible by many who Google MAMZ because:

• MAMZ seems somewhat effeminate to many people; 
• He admittedly joined the army in an effort to be become and be perceived as a "real man"; 

at least one photograph of him seems to show him wearing bright red lipstick; 

MAMZ himself brought his own sexuality into question and amplified the public doubts when he wrote a letter to his college newspaper in which he said he felt "inherently uncomfortable" around gays because they might be looking at his "underpants," and he said he would feel uncomfortable undressing in front of a woman".

In an autobiographical article that MAMZ wrote for the American Prospect, dated April 16, 2006, MAMZ said of his participation in the US Army:

But basic training was the best thing to ever happen to me. They say they break you down in basic training so they can rebuild you into a real man. I was already broken when I arrived at Fort Sill. For me, it was all building.

Why did MAMZ feel like he was not a "real man" and how likely is it that those feelings were thoroughly extinguished by changing his "underwear" in front of other men for two or three months?

Rather than confirm his sense of manhood, his participation in the Army seems to have left him feeling more insecure.  In a letter to his the student newspaper at his alma mater, Northern Illinois University, MAMZ, after he left the Army, MAMZ said:

Worrying about whether the known homosexual sleeping next to you is watching as you change your underwear may seem trivial as you read this, but to the soldier who’s short-tempered after three weeks in the field and four hours of daily sleep, it becomes a matter of great importance to his pride and sensibilities. And in any case, there aren’t many people who would change clothes in a group of co-workers if members of the opposite sex were in the same room watching. There is something inherently uncomfortable about it. Such fears would go a long way in disrupting efficiency and morale in a unit. 

MARKOS C.A. MOULITSAS 

Undecided Freshman

One particular aspect of that letter seems especially curious and troubling.  MAMZ said:

. . . in any case, there aren’t many people who would change clothes in a group of co-workers if members of the opposite sex were in the same room watching.

For many men, being naked in front of a women "of the opposite sex" has only positive associations, since undressing with a woman present is a necessary and desirable part of having sex with her.  I believe many "real men" feel this way.  Being afraid to be naked in front of a woman seems sexually immature and profoundly un-masculine.  MAMZ seems to conflate and be unable to perceive any difference between undressing in front of gay men and undressing in front of members of the "opposite sex."   


One has to wonder, ïndeed, why MAMZ conflates being naked in front of gay men with being naked in front of women.  Is that really the same thing?  Maybe it is, if you secretly sexually desire naked men as much or more than you sexually desire women.

Many in the blogosphere have wondered what the word "undecided" meant to MAMZ in the letter to the student newspaper, and in the context of a letter about fear of gay men?  It seems reasonable to wonder precisely what MAMZ was "undecided" about, and whether he was ever able completely resolve his indecision.  Certainly the term "undecided" can be understood in ways in this context. 


People constantly Google "gay" and "Kos" and then find their way to this blog. Ironically, the nickname that Kos' associates gave him in the Army is also the name of a notoriously gay mecca resort island of the coast of Greece.  One has to wonder if the nickname was entirely coincidental or was suggestive of some part of MAMZ personality that was perceived and "named" by his Army co-workers.

I believe that much of the speculation about MAMZ`s sexuality comes from gays and lesbians who would like to publicly claim MAMZ as one of their own, but who cannot do so unless and until MAMZ "comes out of the closet," if indeed that's where he is now.

Right-Wing Tea Party Participants Comments Deleted at DailyKos.

In the comments to this diary, "Trusted Users" at DailyKos explain in the comments how they are able to make "Tea Party" comments disappear before most people at DailyKos or anyone else see them and be infected by a perspective other than the approved ones.

People who have participated at DailyWhitosphere (still virtually no Black or Latino participants there) know that Tea Party members are not the only ones whose messages are diligently censored.

The Trusted-User writer of a the diary at DailyKos about Tea Party activists explains why Tea Party comments cannot be seen at DailyKos.

But in writing about them here, I've attracted a couple three trolls, the leader of whom believes that lots of troll comments will "shut them down."

He's evidently unaware of the hidden comments feature.  (Emphasis added.)

The American right wing is discovering what progressives, Blacks and Latinos have learned about DailyKos: Since the discussion there is carefully monitored and censored to exclude many topics and views, it is not possible to assemble a group of bloggers there who disagree with the Townhouse approved messages.  As Chris Suellentrop explained at the New York Times,

The liberal blogosphere — which usually erupts with ad hominem attacks on the messenger whenever it is subject to the mildest, even-handed criticisms — has been eerily silent since last week’s revelation that MyDD.com founder and DailyKos ally Jerome Armstrong is the subject of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation for allegedly taking money to promote a stock on a prominent online bulletin board. The New Republic’s Jason Zengerle, writing on his magazine’s The Plank blog, uncovers an e-mail from Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, the proprietor of DailyKos, that may help explain things.


“TNR obtained a missive Kos sent earlier this week to ‘Townhouse,’ a private email list comprising elite liberal bloggers, including Jane Hamsher, Matt Stoller, and Christy Hardin Smith,” Zengerle writes. “And what was Kos’s message to this group that secretly plots strategy in the digital equivalent of a smoke-filled backroom? Stay mum!”


Zengerle publishes Moulitsas’s e-mail in full. In it, Moulitsas says he is considering suing “some of the wingnut bloggers” who are speculating about the story. He also asks his fellow liberal bloggers to keep quiet: “My request to you guys is that you ignore this for now. It would make my life easier if we can confine the story. Then, once Jerome can speak and defend himself, then I’ll go on the offensive (which is when I would file any lawsuits) and anyone can pile on. If any of us blog on this right now, we fuel the story. Let’s starve it of oxygen.”

Questions for Jack and Jill Politics' Relationship w/ DailyKos/YearlyKos

Jill Tubman of Jack and Jill Politics is on the Board of Netroots Nation, along with Markos C.Alherto Moulitsas Zúñiga, about whom a body of research establishes that he was trained by the Central Intelligence Agency and only became a "progressive blogger" during his training at the CIA.

In preparation for another annual "Netroots Nation" conference of virtually all-white bloggers from around the nation, Jill Tubman asks the Readers of Jack and Jill Politics to submit questions for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with whom she expects to meet during Netroots Nation.

I have the same question for Jill Tubman that I have for Nancy Pelosi. Netroots Nation is the new name for YearlyKos, a meeting of bloggers convened by a man who acknowledges that he was working at or "training" at the Central Intelligence Agency when he founded the DailyKos blog. That man, Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) remains on the Board of Netroots Nation.

My question for Jill Tubman and Nancy Pelosi is, "The founder and a board member of YearlyKos/Netroots Nation acknowledges that he spent two years training with the CIA between 2001 and 2003. Does that compromise the credibility and validity of the YearlyKos/Netroots Nation meeting in any way?

Here's a link to the transcript of the audiotape in which MAMZ acknowledges that he spent two years with the CIA, between 2001 and 2003, while he started DailyKos in 2002, while training with the Central Intelligence Agency.

I have a second question. Jose Antonio Vargas wrote while reporting for the Washington Post in 2007 that Yearly Kos was "a sea of middle-aged white males.". Meanwhile, Quantcast.com, a media analysis company, says that DailyKos has 5% Black participation among its participants and zero (0) percent participation of Latinos. Gina Cooper told the Washington Post reporter, "I hate to use the word diversity."

Why and how has a meeting that has so little Black and Latino participation gained so much traction in a Party which, in many electoral contests, cannot win an election without the votes of Blacks and Latinos?

And now a question for the readers of Jack and Jill Politics: Do you believe that JJP is compromised in any way by its close affilliation with the CIA-trained blogger, Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga through its collaboration with the CIA-trained blogger on the Netroots Nation conference and other matters?

Here's another question: Is it presumptuous and misleading for the meeting to call itself Netroots "NATION," when the group has absolutely no measurable Latino participation and only 5% Black participation?, according to Quantcast.com. In his writing, MAMZ has disavowed his own Latino heritage. See "MAMZ Denies Being Latino in Spite of "ZÚÑIGA" Maternal Surname."

Here's what MAMZ had to say about his relationship to Blacks and Latinos: He said he was blissfully happy in his "selfish detachment" from us and our concerns, this is a quote from an article he wrote:

"I was terribly happy to escape the ugliness of a racist world for the safety of my every day-to-day life. Sure, I could always talk against racism, fight ignorance and prejudice wherever I ran into it, yet I would always be looking in from another room and I could always close the door. My life, in my world, in my own detached selfishness. And as I left the ugly reality of racism behind, it struck me that what was such an easy and trivial exercise for me would be impossible for anyone whose skin color or religious persuassion made them the target of bigotry and discrimination. They would never be able to escape who they were. "

If you read the five articles he wrote, he clearly states that he prefers to live in "selfish detachment" from the very Blacks and Latinos whom he interviewed in order to write the articles about "racism" on his college campus.

OK I know that some readers will say that MAMZ has changed since he made those statements in writing. If MAMZ has changed, then why was he supporting and promoting "states' rights" (the "right" of states to discriminate without Federal Government intervention) as late as 2006? Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) Disavows Membership in Any Ethnic Group other than White Men

The sordid background information on this MAMZ character and his Salvadoran oligarchy family are all thoroughly documented with extensive links to Government, corporate and non-profit organization websites and documents in "The Indictment of Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (MAMZ) by Justice and History (Updated with Additional Information and Counts)"

Most importantly, MAMZ has never denied any of the above. And virtually all of the above comes directly from MAMZ own writings. Why did MAMZ oppose, in writing, ALL gay participation in the US Military, while declaring that working around gays is "inherently uncomfortable"?

How much more do you need to know about MAMZ to realize that he cannot be trusted?
