The original Rasputin.
Ever since my foray to Mordor-on-the-Potomac and the fateful Tuesday hearing's testimony that carried the Gunwalker Plot to the side door of the White House, more information about Kevin O'Reilly has been floating in over the electronic transom here at Sipsey Street, much of it anecdotal yet useful.
Typical, and reinforced by other accounts except on one major point, is this from a source with long government experience:
O'Reilly is a very left-wing operator. Has wide and long contacts with the "CHANGE" gang, Axelrod and Emanuel. . . (He is) a "One World" true believer, who has in the past three years, become close to U.S. Amb. to U.N. Susan Rice. This gives him an entree to the scab-suckers @ U.N.
The fact that he is in the N.S.C. is very troubling. The fact that he has so much juice ... is dangerous !
He has John Donilan's ear... which makes him the political Rasputin who gets to whisper the last thing into The N.S.C. Advisor's ear before he talks to POTUS. He has some long-standing relations with Fmr. CIA's John Brennan (Now Counter-terrorism Guru @ N.S.C.) but can't pin it down to a time and place. May have been during the
election run-up in 2008.
He was a player in forcing Adm. Dennis Blair to resign as Director of National Intelligence, I am told. He made a reputation for himself as a very crafty ... and clever. A staffer up on the Hill, who has a lot of Juice with left wing crowd.
(MBV Note: Probably refers to O'Reilly's time as a Pearson Fellow in the office of Illinois Senator Dick Durbin.)
My sources tell me that he was the "MOLE" inside the N.S.C. who pulled the rug out from under the best National Security Advisor we've had in a long, long time; Gen. Jim Jones, USMC (Ret). He under-mined the General and was rumored to being the leak
at the White House on some very key matters, such as Troop "Surge" in Afghanistan, the McChrystal mess and the embrace of the Obama-labeled "Arab Spring" bullshit. . .
For now he is allegedly focused on creating "WINS" for the Obama National Security Team. I have no mention of the arms trafficking on SWB.
He has been involved in the following Top Tier Issues:
Examples -
(1) Getting Saudi Arabia to move The Gulf Security Council to act as adult supervision for Iraq, as U.S. and Allies pull out. Thereby creating an anti-Iran bloc with ARAB Oil producing States. (It's key to keeping Iran in a BOX.)
(2) Getting the re-start of Six-party talks a lot of good press in order to calm down North Korea, before the Presidential Election in 2012.
(3) De-militarizing the N.S.C. He has been a filter on which DoD officials actually have some sort of access to The White House.
(4) He worked on The "AFRICOM" project. Where to put the Headquarters? This will be a BIG DEAL in the next administration. Big "Africa" will be the scene for chaotic
turmoil. Famine, Drought, large Political upheaval and "discovery" (?) of critical resources, historically unheard of by the world.
He was rumored to move up and replace Dennis McDonough when he departed, but he is still there, ... for now. McDonough is rumored to move over to either CIA or DoD, as a watch-dog for the White House.
"I have no mention of the arms trafficking on SWB."
Yet North America has been O'Reilly's official area of operations at NSC since he started with the Obama administration. Perhaps he's been out-growing his official britches. This happens. Sometimes an operative with the right connections and experience -- someone ruthless enough and discreet enough -- gets tapped for other jobs. Special jobs. Perhaps the source above is full of excrement. Yet others corroborate the general outline presented above, except for his interest in the southwest border and relations with Central and Latin American countries. And of course we have the testimony of him initiating contact by email with "Gunwalker Bill" on a SWB issue.
Said one of my other sources, "He's Restrepo's deputy but he's smarter than Restrepo and more driven." "Driven?" I asked. "Yeah," he answered. "You mean ruthless?" "Yeah," came the answer, "ruthless describes him to a tee."
We need more information from open sources on Mr. Kevin O'Reilly, his Chicago years, his Chicago friends and sponsors, and his State Department career prior to the NSC.
Any volunteers?

Who authorized a gun dealer to sell weapons (over 300) to convicted felons? Pardon or overturn the only way the restriction gets removed. No one has the authority - and everyone from the gun dealer to the ATF to the FBI to the DOJ who authorized it broke federal criminal law.
