Scott Bennett, Ph.D., US Army Special Operations Officer (11th Psychological Operations Battalion)
http://noliesradio.org/archives/89945This show was broadcast on October 12, 2014
We live in an age of out-of-control psy-ops…and nobody understands that better than Scott Bennett, U.S. Army Special Operations Officer (11th Psychological Operations Battalion, Civil Affairs-Psychological Operations Command) and global psychological warfare-counterterrorism analyst, who is outraged that the CIA-linked Deep State is funding ISIS (“the best enemy money can buy”) and al-Qaeda.
Scott was formerly with defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. He received a Direct Commission as an Officer, held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmentalized Information (TS/SCI) security clearance, and worked in the highest levels of international counterterrorism in Washington DC and MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.
He has developed and managed psychological warfare theories, products, and operations for U.S. Special Operations Command, U.S. Central Command, the State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism, and other government agencies. He served in the G.W. Bush Administration from 2003 to 2008, and was a Social Science Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Since 2010 Scott has filed numerous military-government whistle-blowing reports with Congressional Committees, including: the Intelligence, the Armed Services, the Government Oversight and Reform, the Homeland Security, the Judiciary, the Foreign Affairs, the Banking, and the Terrorism Committees.
His educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Advertising and Spanish Minor from San Jose State University in California, a Master of Arts in International Business and Public Policy from George Mason University in Virginia, and a Ph.D. (ABD) in Political Theory from the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. He currently resides in California.WARNING: In the event of my untimely death, additional documents and materials will be immediately released which expose all previously undisclosed persons, networks, operations, and financial accounts relating to illegal foreign and domestic terrorism activities. All materials have been safely uploaded to legal counsel. Congress and Military authorities have been notified of this.

Bennett is a twice-convicted liar. Did Bennett write the book while he was in prison?
http://tbo.com/news/prosecutors-army-reservist-inflated-role-with-military-245210
Then came the lies, prosecutors say.
Even before his evaluation was done, Bennett wrote an email to his civilian employer, military contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, seeking a position at MacDill Air Force Base. In the email, Bennett inflated his role with the Army.
In the email, introduced this morning at Bennett's federal trial on charges that he lied his way onto housing at MacDill Air Force Base, Bennett told Booz Allen Hamilton officials that he was a "psychological operations officer" with counterterrorism experience and an "Islam analyst" who had worked with U.S. Special Operations Command and the State Department.
He wrote that he had a secondary military specialty as a personnel officer.
But that wasn't true, Lt. Col. Joel Droba, an Army reservist and commander of Bennett's battalion, testified.
Bennett was not a psychological operations officer, had not undergone the training, and served in a support role as a personnel officer. And Bennett never had any orders from Special Operations Command during his tenure with the battalion. Army Lt. Col Frank Harrar, aide de camp to Special Operations Command chief Adm. Eric Olson, later testified that Socom had no record of contracts with Bennett.

Not only did Bennett wear his Reserve uniform and falsely claim to be a Special Operations Officer on active duty, he claimed that he was an aide to Special Operations Command commander Adm. Eric Olson (apparently he had lied his way onto a plane carrying Olson to MacDill by claiming to be on active duty and having an "emergency assignment"
. When asked for a copy of his orders to get the housing, he claimed he couldn't immediately provide a copy because he was on a "top secret mission" and would need to get clearance to release them. Bennett was sentenced to three years in prison for this misadventure. But amazingly, he was already on probation for making “willful false and misleading representations” to the U.S. government:

The employee, Scott Allan Bennett, had received one of the highest-level security clearances available in late 2008, even though a few months earlier he had been convicted of making “willful false and misleading representations” to the U.S. government.
The case, raised in Senate correspondence last week by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), concerned an effort Bennett made on behalf of a South African woman he had met on the Internet who wanted to visit the United States. According to court documents, Bennett sought to get her a visa by falsely claiming that she would be working with the White House and the State Department while in the United States. He was sentenced to three years of probation.

Bennett is a fabulist whose story is all over the net; apparently No Lies Radio isn't really all that picky.
