IRAQ-TERROR

ISLAMISTS WORKING FOR ISRAEL

2012-02-11T08:09:00.000-08:00

Turkey's Erdogan IS JEWISH?

1. Most of the top Islamists secretly work for Israel and its allies, it seems.

Turkey's Erdogan, the Saudi leadership, and the leaders of the Qatar, Libya and Tunisia all follow the Israeli-US-NATO line and criticise Assad of Syria.

This is in spite of the fact that the Arab league monitors found that the slaughter in Syria is the work of foreign-backed subversives

Pepe Escobar exposes: the agenda in Syria:

"The report was leaked. (Here it is, in full.)

"The report is adamant.

"There was no organized, lethal repression by the Syrian government against peaceful protesters.

"Instead, the report points to shady armed gangs as responsible for hundreds of deaths among Syrian civilians, and over one thousand among the Syrian army, using lethal tactics such as bombing of civilian buses, bombing of trains carrying diesel oil, bombing of police buses and bombing of bridges and pipelines..."

The Syrian government is fighting heavily armed foreign mercenaries.

The report largely confirms these suspicions.

JEWISH CONTROL OF SAUDI ARABIA?

2. The Israeli-US-NATO Arab Spring has attempted to:

(A) move countries such as Libya firmly into the Israeli-US-NATO camp.

Libya now appears to be the main base for the CIA's al-Qaeda.

(B) weaken countries such as Egypt economically.

The Arab Spring could not have succeeded without there being traitors within the Arab elite.

The Arab spring economies are in deep trouble according to The Economist

Tunisia did have fast GDP growth.

Under Ben Ali, there were some clever entrepreneurs.

Now the Tunisian government says the economy has contracted by 1.8%.

Egypt has seen a decline from 5% to 1%.

Libya’s economy is thought to have contracted by more than 50%.

In Tunisia many hotels remain closed.

A Tunisian analyst reckons 120 foreign firms have shut up shop, cutting 40,000 jobs.

Who are they really working for?

3. What have the Israelis and their allies done to the 'Arab Spring' countries?

Libya is now largely lawless. (The Economist)

In Egypt the police force has withdrawn from many districts, leaving control to local youths.

"George Bahna, who runs an engineering-services company, says he abandoned a large project near the city of Suez when locals raided his warehouse and fought gun battles over control of his property." (The Economist)

Tunisia's government "has recorded a total of 330 sit-ins and other protests in the first three weeks of this year over a lack of government services." (The Economist)

There are a huge numbers of strikes.

"Businessmen complain of red tape becoming 'even redder'". (The Economist)

Egypt's foreign-currency reserves have dropped from $36 billion to $10 billion in the past year.

4. Nothing is quite what it seems in the Arab world. Some might say that very few of the Islamists can be trusted.

The Gaza Flotilla was a NATO-MOSSAD false flag operation.

"The agent who co-ordinated the NATO / Mossad Operation was Abdelhakim Belhadj, who is now in charge of NATO´s training of the so called 'Free Syrian Army'.

"Further more, the Palestinian Intelligence Source stated, that 'certain high ranking members of Hamas had been involved in planning the operation', and that Hamas or at least a strong fraction of Hamas had entered into agreements with Turkey and NATO, to establish a 'Palestinian Spring' as soon as the campaign against the government of Syria had succeeded..."

Belhaj

"It is thought that the Gaza flotilla massacre was a huge deception orchestrated by Turkey and Israel in order to facilitate the elimination of certain Turkish figures who had been opposed to Erdogan’s intended war on Syria..."

"In addition to al-Harati, NATO darling Abdelhakim Belhaj himself was also on board the Mavi Marmara on that fateful night."

Was the Gaza Flotilla Massacre a Turkish-Israeli False Flag and Precursor to the War on Syria?

5. What should the Arab World do?

Former World Bank vice president Shahid Javed Burki has said that the Arab world should begin to delink from the West and connect with other parts of the world for their economies to grow. (Asian nations 'key to Arab economies)

US-ISRAEL SEEK IRAQ VIOLENCE

Iraq by salwan s. alabdaly

In January 2012, there have been bomb attacks across Iraq.

US, Israel benefit from violence in Iraq

Press TV: The current situation is also being portrayed by many as a sectarian struggle. But then again, who benefits from an unstable and disunited Iraq?

Lawrence Davidson, professor of West Chester University: Well, who benefits from it is the United States benefits from it and the Israelis benefit from it and the American political right wing benefits from it because they can point a finger at Obama and say, you see, you withdrew from the country and you left it to have civil war.

But in fact, the country went into a potential civil war mode when the Americans came in and invaded. So it is very difficult for the Americans to really put distance between themselves and whatever consequences there are now in Iraq, but in terms of benefit, look for the American Republican right wingers to make an issue of this during the presidential campaign.

On 12 December 2011, the BBC reported on the 'Cleansed' Libyan town spilling its terrible secrets

1. The 30,000 people living in Tawergha, a town in Libya, have been driven from their homes.

2. Gaddafi forces had been based in Tawergha.

3. Tawerghans are scattered across Libya in camps.

4. Human rights groups have described this as collective punishment possibly amounting to a crime against humanity.

5. Tawerghans are mostly descendants of black slaves. They are generally poor.

6. In Tawergha building after building is burnt and ransacked.

The possessions of the people who lived here are scattered about.

7. In one refugee camp, Umm Bubakr says there are nightly raids by Misrata militiamen on the camp, to take away young men.

They are not seen or heard of again.

"They drove us out because they want our land and homes," she says.

8. In Misrata, workmen are converting a government building into a prison.

About 60 men from Tawergha are held here.

LIBYA IS A FAILED STATE RUN BY LOOTERS AND TORTURERS

2011-11-13T08:46:00.000-08:00

In the UK's Sunday Telegraph, on 6 November 2011, Nick Meo asks: as lawlessness spreads in Libya, are the rebel 'good guys' really the bad guys?

Nick Meo reports on how, in Tripoli, the forces of the new government kidnapped Abdul Mojan, stole his money, and stole the office block that he managed.

Many of Tripoli's residents have had similar experiences, writes Nick Meo.

The forces of the new government have been stealing cars, fridges and TV sets.

The government's gangs have been fighting each other.

"There have been three big fights in the capital alone in the past week; shoot-outs at a hospital, Martyr's Square, and the military airport, which have left several dead and dozens wounded."

The new government has been "rounding up hundreds of suspected Gaddafi supporters in a wide-scale witch-hunt, often on the basis of little more than rumour and accusation."

The result of NATO's war - By PRIMAVERA

A businessman called Omar was kidnapped by government forces and taken away for torture.

One of Omar's relations reports: "Next day they turned up at his house, and threatened his wife and children. Can you believe this? We have hundreds of little Gaddafis now."

No government has been formed.

The former rebels cannot agree on how to share out power.

The new prime minister spent most of the last 30 years at universities in the USA.

The leader of one notorious government gang has taken up residence in the posh suburb of Regatta.

"Now the suburb has an eerie, deserted feeling.

"Doors and windows have been smashed so looters can get in, and the militias have spray-painted graffiti over walls."

LIBYA JUST LIKE IRAQ

2011-10-12T01:18:00.000-07:00

The CIA-backed scum who have taken over Libya are falling apart, like warring Mafia gangs.

It looks very possible that NATO troops will soon be sent into Libya to take over the running of the country.

According to the Wall Street Journal (factions), on 8 October 2011:

The people who now run Libya have "begun to disintegrate into a spiral of infighting..."

There are "violent flare-ups."

Rivalries are "close to exploding into open warfare in the capital."

In July 2011, some of the people who now run Libya murdered their own top military commander, General Abdel Fatah Younis.

Now, in October 2011, "Everybody is getting their knives out," according to Mohammed Benrasali, the head of Tripoli's civilian stabilization team.

Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jabril "is deeply unpopular in the capital, and other parts of Libya, and is especially mistrusted by many of the country's Islamist leaders."

Qatar is supporting Abdel Hakim Belhaj, the military boss in Tripoli, but he is "facing a growing chorus of discontent."

EXPECT CIVIL WAR

2011-09-12T02:53:00.000-07:00

Whom should we thank for the bloodshed and misery in Libya?

On 7 September 2011, Pepe Escobar, at Asia Times Online, reported that in Libya: The real war starts now

According to Pepe Escobar:

1. Leaked plans suggest there may soon be troops from Turkey on the ground in Libya.

NATO member Turkey is keen to get contracts in Libya.

There may also be troops from Jordan and various Gulf monarchies.

2. Libya's economy is 'paralyzed'.

3. Libya's ruling Transitional National Council (TNC) appears to be clueless, and a lame duck.

The new rulers are splitting into factions.

Young Libyans today

4. The Obeidi tribe has fallen out with the TNC.

The Obeidi tribe is unhappy about the assassination of army commander Abdul Fattah Younis.

Chief suspect in the killing is the Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah brigade.

The Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah brigade regards both the TNC and NATO as "infidels".

5. The Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), linked to al-Qaeda, may attack the TNC.

Some militias want the LIFG's Abdelhakim Belhaj sacked as leader of the military in Tripoli.

The LIFG may soon be fighting the TNC, other militias, or both.

6. In Tripoli, rebels from Zintan, in the western mountains, control the airport.

Rebels from Misrata control the central bank, Tripoli’s port and the Prime Minister’s office.

Berbers from the mountain town of Yafran control Tripoli’s central square.

During the 1930s about 25,000 Jews lived in Libya.

7. Libya can be seen as a new Lebanon.

The war in Lebanon began when each neighborhood in Beirut was carved up between Sunnis, Shi’ites, Christian Maronites, Nasserites and Druse.

8. Large numbers of Salafis, who fought in the Sunni Iraqi resistance against the US, have been freed from prison.

9. The African Union (AU) will not recognize the TNC.

It charges the NATO rebels with the indiscriminate killing of black people.

Reportedly, one-third of the population of Libya is black.

10. The very large southern Libyan desert has not been conquered by NATO.

The TNC has no access to virtually all of Libya’s water and a lot of oil.

Gaddafi can easily base guerrillas in the southern desert with a safe haven in Algeria - or even in Niger.

11. NATO dropped at least 30,000 bombs over Libya killing many thousands of Libyans.

Soon NATO may be targeting more civilians.

"The real war starts now."

The Sorman massacre [Voltaire Network]

Everyone had gathered to celebrate the third birthday of little Al-Khweldy.

Her father, Khaled Al-Hamedi, is president of one of the most important Arab humanitarian associations.

The grand-parents, the brothers and sisters and cousins were crowding inside the family house located in Sorman.

About thirty children were running around among the animals.

Among the guests, a spy had sneaked in.

He was pretending to twitter his friends.

In reality, he had just marked the targets and was relaying them, through the social network, to NATO Headquarters.

During the night of 19 to 20 June 2011, NATO missiles struck.

The spy had placed markers in the children’s bedrooms.

Twelve mutilated bodies lay under the rubble.

On 1st July, 1.7 million people demonstrated in Tripoli to defend their country.

WHOSE WAR IN IRAQ?

2011-06-12T03:10:00.000-07:00

Website for this

The 24 March 2003 issue of "The American Conservative" had an article about Iraq entitled: "Whose War?"

(The American Conservative - Whose War? / Pat Buchanan's Iraq Conspiracy - TIME)

The article, by Patrick Buchanan, pointed out that American foreign policy had been hijacked by a 'cabal' of 'neoconservatives' such as Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Elliott Abrams.

These neocons, wrote Buchanan, are "deliberately damaging U.S. relations with every state in the Arab world that defies Israel or supports the Palestinian peoples' right to a homeland of their own."

They 'harbor a passionate attachment' to Israel.

Buchanan may fail to see that the alleged 'fascists' such as Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and George W Bush were in alliance with Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Elliott Abrams.

They were also in alliance with 'fascist' Moslems and Hindus among others.

To be fair, Buchanan DOES see that it is not just one nation that is capable of 'evil'.

Buchanan has claimed that the British started the terror bombing in World War II, causing the Germans to retaliate.

And he has claimed that, in World War I, 'lying British propaganda' got the U.S. into war with Germany.

The British are bad?

The first bombing of the villages of Iraq was by the first British Labour government in 1924.

British soldier in Malaysia

Why was Iraq invaded?

The following is an extract from a post at the excellent gowans.blogspot

http://gowans.blogspot.com/2006/03/weve-done-it-before-so-why-all-shock.html

"Many people seem to forget, or perhaps never knew, that the United States, like other advanced capitalist countries, has been aggressively expansionist from the beginning.

"From the moment of its founding, it has been driven to extend its domain on behalf of the dominant economic group and has used force to do so.

"The logic of the US slave system drove the United States to annex Texas and wage war on Mexico.

"Later, the logic of capitalism drove the US state to acquire the Philippines, Cuba, Guam, Hawaii and Samoa as colonies and semi-colonies and dependencies, and to intervene militarily over and over again in Latin America to establish an effective suzerainty over the Western hemisphere.

"The same logic demanded wars be fought in the post WWII period, on north Korea, Vietnam, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan, as the weakening of Japan, Germany, Britain, and later the collapse of the Soviet Union, opened up space for the US to pursue profit-making opportunities for its corporations on a worldwide basis.

"(I use corporation throughout in its broadest sense, to include manufacturing, service, resource-extractive and financial corporations.)

"Countries that stood in the way, that nationalized assets owned by US corporations and closed their doors to further exploitation by US economic interests, were attacked, if not militarily, then in other ways.

"The same logic is behind aggression, by threat of military intervention, economic blockade, and the financing of internal subversion, carried out today against Cuba, north Korea, Belarus, Venezuela, Zimbabwe and Iran – all countries which rank at the very top of the list of states considered by Washington to be economically 'unfree' (that is, that block, limit or place conditions on US investment and exports.)

"Viewed within the context of US history, and the social and economic forces which have shaped Washington’s foreign policy, the US aggression against Iraq can be seen to be part of this coherent whole, not an anomaly that has sprung from an immanent lust for power residing deep in the psyches of George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, nor a consequence of a unique set of events arising out of a social-economic vacuum.

"This has important implications for understanding what realistic options are available to those who seek to change this recurrent pattern of war, of domination, and of spoliation of foreign countries.

"New personalities won’t do it, because personalities aren’t the cause.

"Third parties alone won’t do it, because third parties, as any other, are subordinate to the same systemic logic that has driven all parties in power, whether conservative, liberal, socialist and even communist (e.g. Yugoslavia) to pursue policies that facilitate the profit-making of the dominant economic class, including by the use of force to extort or secure opportunities from unwilling third countries.

"The solution is to step outside (to overthrow) the logic that compels this behavior, not to tolerate it or assume wrongly it can be tamed and harnessed.

The Lead-Up to the Invasion

"Two events are distantly critical to the decision of US planners to target Iraq for regime change:

*The 1958 revolution that overthrew the British-dominated monarchy,

* and the expropriation of British and US oil companies in the early 1970s.

*The first established Iraq’s nominal political independence;

*the second imbued the first with significance, by giving Iraq control over important economic assets.

"The constitution under Saddam Hussein held that 'natural resources and the basic means of production are owned by the People.'

"Oil revenue was used to 'underwrite a handsome program of social supports, including free education through university' and medical care considered "the finest in the Middle East" (Workers World, August 20, 2005).

"The price of basic goods was subsidized, and a largely state-owned economy was used to provide jobs – and income – to millions of Iraqis.

"While not socialist, Iraq’s economy had many features of a socialist economy, and all the hallmarks of an economy advanced capitalist countries love to hate: restrictions on foreign ownership; preferential treatment of domestic firms; state intervention in the economy to achieve public policy goals; and limits on the sphere of private investment.

"Henry Kissinger pseudonymously wrote an article in 'the March 1975 issue of Harper’s, titled 'Seizing Arab Oil’' in which he 'unabashedly outlined plans for a U.S. invasion to seize key Middle East oil fields to prevent Arab countries having control over the U.S.’s most vital raw material'.

(Linda McQuaig, "History will show US lusted after oil," The Toronto Star, December 26, 2004).

The article continues:

Iraq was at the center of the plans.

Owing to the dangers of a possible Soviet response, Kissinger’s plan was never carried out.

But after the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, all kinds of possibilities opened up for the US.

"Kissinger’s old idea was taken up by the Project for a New American Century, whose membership included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz" (McQuaig).

The Project members, some of whom would soon become key figures in the Bush administration, urged then President Bill Clinton to step up efforts already in place to overthrow Saddam Hussein’s government, "whose control over 'a significant portion of the world’s oil’ was considered a liability" (McQuaig).

The liability, however, wasn’t one of the US being dependent on Arab countries for access to a vital resource, but of US oil companies being cut out of the action.

It’s widely believed that the US is highly dependent on imports of Middle Eastern oil, and that Arab control over the region’s petroleum resources leaves the United States in a highly vulnerable position. It’s true that production decisions made by oil-producing Arab countries can affect the price of oil on the world market, but the US depends on the Middle East for comparatively little of the oil it consumes.

For the US, maintaining tight control over the Middle East isn’t crucial to ensuring US manufacturers and consumers have uninterrupted access to a vital resource. Half of the oil the US consumes is produced domestically. Of the remaining half, the bulk, 80 percent, comes from two neighbors, Canada and Mexico. And a significant part of the remainder comes from Venezuela, also close by. Only a small fraction comes from the Middle East, and most of that, from Saudi Arabia.

James Arlin, US ambassador to Saudi Arabia under Kissinger, told author and journalist Linda McQuaig that "the plan to take over Iraq [was] a revival of the old plan that first appeared in 1975. It was the Kissinger plan" (McQuaig).

But the aim of the plan wasn’t to safeguard US access to vital oil supplies. In reality, Middle Eastern oil mostly flows to Europe, China and Japan.

Instead, the aim was to carve out and reclaim investment opportunities for US-based oil companies in the Middle East, which would sell oil from the Middle East to Spain, France, Germany, China and Japan.

Other US-based transnationals could profit too.

If Iraq was turned over to the control of a Washington-selected puppet government, US engineering giants, like Bechtel, could snap up contracts to build Iraq’s infrastructure.

American capital could invest in Iraq’s public utilities. Iraq’s military could be integrated into a US-led military alliance, to become a customer for war machinery produced by Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon, Boeing and other key Pentagon contractors, some of the largest and most influential corporations in the US.

In the summer of 2003, then US Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was asked why Iraq, which didn’t have weapons of mass destruction, was invaded, while north Korea, which claimed to have a nuclear deterrent, wasn’t.

One of the reasons is plain enough, though Wolfowitz didn’t mention it. North Korea’s claimed nuclear arsenal makes Washington think twice about a ground invasion; Iraq, on the other hand, was easy pickings.

But Wolfowitz decided to draw attention to another reason.

"Let’s look at it simply," he said. "The most important difference between north Korea and Iraq was that economically we had no choice in Iraq"

("Wolfowitz: Iraq war was about oil," The Guardian, June 4, 2003).

With Britain’s investments in Iraq having been nationalized after the revolution against British rule, and corporate America on the sidelines owing to Washington’s sanctions and Baghdad’s hostility, European transnationals were busily working deals in Iraq.

The French oil giant, Total Fin Elf, landed a $4 billion contract to develop Iraqi oil.

The Russian oil firms, Lukoil and Zarubneft, netted drilling agreements worth tens of billions of dollars.

Scores of German firms inked deals to furnish Iraq with weapons and industrial machinery.

But the problem for the Russian, French and German companies that signed deals with Baghdad was that with Iraq crippled by sanctions, the country was in no position to become the bonanza of profits the European transnationals desperately wished for.

But if sanctions were lifted, and Iraq was allowed to get back on its feet, the profits might start rolling in, with competition from their effectively frozen out British and American rivals held at bay.

Through the late 90s pressure to lift the sanctions started to build.

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, many of them children under the age of five, died from otherwise easily preventable diseases that had spread unchecked as a result of the privations imposed by the sanctions regime.

The political scientists, John Mueller and Karl Mueller, writing in Foreign Affairs, pointed out that sanctions had "contributed to more deaths during the post Cold War era than all the weapons of mass destruction throughout history" (Foreign Affairs, May 1999).

The sanctions had become weapons of mass destruction themselves, "sanctions of mass destruction" the Mueller’s called them – far deadlier than the chemical weapons Iraq and Iran had lobbed at each other in the 80s, and deadlier than the invasion of Kuwait the sanctions were ostensibly meant to punish Iraq for.

What’s more, after years of UN inspectors supervising the destruction of Iraq’s banned weapons, it had become clear that Iraq had been effectively disarmed.

Saddam Hussein’s weapons chief, and son-in-law, Hussein Kamel, told UN weapons inspectors and the CIA in 1995 that he had ordered the destruction of all of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.

A transcript of his debriefing, obtained by Newsweek (March 3, 2003) has Kamel telling UN and CIA interrogators, "All chemical weapons were destroyed. I ordered destruction of all chemical weapons. All weapons – biological, chemical, missile, nuclear – were destroyed"

("Missing From ABC’s WMD 'Scoop’, Star defector Hussein Kamel said weapons were destroyed," FAIR Action Alert, February 17, 2006, http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2825 ).

The justification for continuing to uphold the sanctions regime had melted away.

The US and Britain, however, weren’t going to relinquish their grip on the noose they had wound tightly around Iraq’s neck.

Kamel’s admission that Iraq had destroyed its weapons was hushed up (Newsweek, March 3, 2003).

If sanctions were lifted, French, Russian and German firms would share in the bounty of Iraq’s oil economy, while American and British transnationals looked on enviously.

It was clear to US planners what had to be done.

Despite Iraq’s being crippled, wracked by war, and deprived of the means of defending itself from attack by the US, it had to be presented as a clear and present danger.

A US-led war would be necessary to change the regime in Baghdad.

The war would be said to be necessary to force Iraq to comply with UN demands that it disarm.

A new government would be installed, with much fanfare about democracy and freedom.

The new government would change Iraq’s laws to usher US and British corporations back into the county.

Beginnings of the War

The war didn’t begin in March 2003.

In fact, it can be said to have continued uninterrupted from the moment the Gulf War began in 1991, shifting form and intensity in the interim, but never coming to a close.

The period between the formal cessation of the Gulf War and the invasion of March 2003 was marked by sanctions and blockade, their object the same as that of the Gulf War: to bring down the regime of Saddam Hussein and replace it with a puppet government that would open the country to exploitation by US- and British-based transnationals.

The outcomes, too, in terms of death and misery, were the same, if not greater in magnitude.

Over a million Iraqis were estimated to have perished as a result of sanctions, enforced during the presidency of the Democrat, Bill Clinton, victims of hunger and water-borne diseases, easily prevented if Iraq had been allowed to rebuild the water and sewage treatment facilities US and British forces had deliberately destroyed.

During the Gulf War, coalition forces bombed Iraq's eight multi-purpose dams, destroying flood control systems, irrigation, municipal and industrial water storage, and hydroelectric power plants.

Major pumping stations were targeted, and municipal water and sewage facilities were razed.

These attacks were prohibited under Article 54 of the Geneva Convention.

But illegal US attacks on civilian infrastructure had been carried out by US forces before, in other wars.

In the war on north Korea, to name just one example, the US leveled north Korean dams, causing extensive flooding, even though dams, as civilian infrastructure, are outlawed as military targets.

US compliance with international law and conventions and the rulings of international courts is notoriously spotty and invariably one-sided.

The US does what it likes, when it likes, and complies with international law when there’s nothing to be lost.

It can do this, because there is no overarching sovereign to enforce compliance, and because the information environment is controlled by the US state to make Americans believe the United States is an upholder of international law and all that is good.

The Gulf War attacks on Iraq’s civilian infrastructure were aimed at throwing Iraq to the mat.

The straightjacket sanctions that followed were aimed at keeping it there.

Accordingly, materials vital to the wellbeing of the population, chlorine for water treatment, for example, were blocked from entering the country on grounds they could be used to make chemical weapons.

The consequences for the Iraqi population were grim, but they had been fully anticipated by US planners, and accepted.

Washington knew sanctions would prevent Iraq from rebuilding, and that epidemics would ensue.

But the results, said Bill Clinton’s secretary of state Madeleine Albright in a 1996 60 Minutes interview, were "worth it."

Writing in the September 2001 issue of The Progressive, Thomas Nagy, a George Washington University professor, cited declassified documents that showed the United States was aware of the civilian health consequences of destroying Iraq's drinking water and sanitation systems, and knew that sanctions would prevent the Iraqi government from repairing the degraded facilities.

One document, written soon after the bombing, warned that sanctions would prevent Iraq from importing "water treatment replacement parts and some essential chemicals" leading to "increased incidences, if not epidemics, of disease."

Another listed the most likely diseases: typhoid, hepatitis A, diphtheria, pertussis, meningitis and cholera. As anticipated, disease ravaged the population, carrying off the weakest.

At least a half a million Iraqi children died needlessly, by UNICEF’s estimates.

Fitting the Intelligence to the PolicyAfter more than a decade of sanctions, Washington made the improbable claim, at the point pressure was building to lift sanctions and a pretext to invade had to be found, that Iraq had reconstituted its weapons of mass destruction program.

That a country that had been blockaded and harassed for over a decade could pull off such a feat was beyond belief, but no claim then, or since, as ever been shelved by Washington on grounds of absurdity.

The techniques of mass persuasion, aided amply by the compliance of the mass media, ensure that obvious lies can be readily passed of as truths, and are, on an almost daily basis.

The passing of the war from one of slow strangulation with deaths coming in small numbers ever day, to renewed military intervention where deaths come all at once, began, not in March, 2003, with the unleashing of the terror bombing campaign dubbed "shock and awe," nor in October, 2002, when the US Congress authorized the Pentagon to launch a land invasion.

The new phase of the war began secretly, without authorization from the US Congress and without the imprimatur of the UN, in May, 2002, soon after British Prime Minister Tony Blair privately pledged Britain’s full cooperation in the conquest of Iraq at a summit meeting with President Bush in Texas (Los Angeles Times, May 12, 2005).

In May of that year, US and British pilots begin to fly secret bombing raids.

The aim of the raids, which the British Foreign Office warned in a leaked internal memo were illegal under international law, was to weaken Iraqi air defense and provoke a reaction from Baghdad that could be used as a pretext for war (Times Online, June 19, 2005).

By the summer, Iraq had not reacted and Washington was left without its desired pretext for war.

Bush decided he could delay no further and that a land invasion must go forward.

On July 23, 2002, Sir Richard Dearlove, the head of MI6, returning from a visit to Washington, told Blair that Bush "wanted to remove Saddam through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and [weapons of mass destruction.]

But, said Dearlove, "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

"The case was thin,"

"Saddam was not threatening his neighbors," and Iraq’s "WMD capacity was less than that of Libya, north Korea or Iran" (Los Angeles Times, May 12, 2005).

The thinness of the case hardly mattered.

Intelligence could be readily fit to the policy, and lies could be told, on top of innuendo and sly suggestion.

By August, Vice-President Dick Cheney was warning that "Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction" and that "there is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, our allies and against us" (Times Online, June 19, 2005).

This was all duly reported, with hardly a jot of skepticism.

Similar nonsense issued from the mouths of other Bush administration figures in the months that followed, amplified and passed along uncritically by a jingoistic media.

On September 12, 2002, Bush said: "Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons."

On October 5th: "We have sources that tell us Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons – the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have."

The State of the Union address on January 28, 2003, was a model of prevarication.

"Saddam Hussein has upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents," Bush warned. "Saddam Hussein has recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" and had "attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons productions."

Iraq had "a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas."

This was a farrago of half-truths, bald-face lies, and deliberately misleading insinuations crafted to present a crippled, war-ravaged and disarmed country as a clear and present danger. (Canada has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that can be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas too: its commercial aircraft and weather balloons.)

The warnings built toward a critical date, February 5, 2003 – when US Secretary of State Colin Powell would present the US casus belli to the UN Security Council.

The presentation, as Dearlove’s words adumbrated more than half a year before, was based on cherry-picked intelligence and outright falsifications fixed around a policy of war decided on long before.

Picasso’s haunting painting Guernica, which hangs outside the doors of the Security Council chamber, was covered over for the occasion.

The painting depicts the horrors of Nazi bombing of the Spanish village of Guernica, one of the first uses of bombing civilians as the main method of war, though not the first.

"The first conspicuous peace-time demonstration of strategic bombing…was the bombing of the villages of Iraq by the first (British) Labour government in 1924."

Bombing civilians was "a more economic way of punishing villages for non-payment of taxes than the old fashioned method of sending an expedition"

(R. Palme Dutt, Problems of Contemporary History, International Publishers, New York, 1963, p. 62).

Torture Chambers

When, after the invasion, the team of US weapons experts sent to Iraq to find banned weapons failed to find any, George Bush increasingly turned to Plan B: depicting the deposed Iraqi government as a criminal regime whose ouster had been a humanitarian necessity.

To reinforce this claim, Bush repeatedly referred to the "dictator’s rape rooms and torture chambers."

What Bush didn’t point out was that the United States was exercising its own dictatorship in Iraq, that its troops were engaged in the sexual abuse and humiliation of Iraqi prisoners, and that it was operating its own torture chambers, not only in Iraq, but elsewhere, in secret prisons in Eastern Europe and most notoriously on a strip of land the US had long ago effectively stolen from Cuba and was refusing to give up, Guantanamo.

Guantanamo, a concentration camp, may yield to another prison as a shibboleth for the brutality of the US state’s treatment of political prisoners.

That prison is the US prison at Bagram, in Afghanistan.

With the US Supreme Court ruling that prisoners at Guatanamo must be given basic due process rights, the US has redirected the flow of prisoners to Bagram, where there are no due process rights.

The conditions at Bagram are even more primitive than those at Guantanamo, with men penned in overcrowded cages (New York Times, February 26, 2006).

The horrors of Washington’s own torture chamber at Abu Ghraib, the US run prison in Iraq, were not hushed up, though not for lack of trying.

Leaked photographs were flashed around the world: of blood-streaked cells; of the battered face of a corpse packed in ice; of guards threatening cowering prisoners with dogs; of hooded prisoners being forced to masturbate; of naked prisoners being forced to lie in a heap; of men being made to wear women’s underwear on their heads; of a prisoner "standing on a box and wearing a hood and electrical wires" (The Guardian, February 17, 2006).

There are other images, which depict the cruel, brutal reality of occupation: The US soldier exonerating himself for desecrating the Koran, explaining that only a few drops of urine had splashed onto the Islamic holy book. The desecration was never intended, he said. He was only urinating on the head of a prisoner.

The horrors of the US occupation seemed to be summed up in the words of one Iraqi who had been picked up by US forces and thrown into prison –and as is the practice - without charge: "The Americans brought electricity to my ass before they brought it to my house"

(Abu Ghraib prisoner, cited in "What I heard about Iraq in 2005," London Review of Books, Vol. 28, No. 1, January 5, 2006).

Human Rights Watch, which presents itself as a neutral human rights watchdog, but is in reality connected to the US foreign policy establishment, functions, whether intentionally or not, to furnish the US state with human rights pretexts to intervene in countries that impose restrictions on US investment and exports.

The group’s standard operating procedure is to provide fodder that can be used by Washington to justify military intervention in countries too weak to defend themselves, as crusades for human rights.

It serves another function of upholding the fiction that the United States is the world’s champion of formal civil liberties by acknowledging US human rights abuses, but painting them as anomalies, regrettable departures that call into question an implicitly assumed American moral authority.

Even so, while the organization’s indictments of US behavior serve the purpose of reinforcing the deception that the US is a defender of human rights, and not one of the world’s most zealous enemies of the exercise of any right that stands in the way of the profit-making activities of US corporations, its complaints against the US state are telling.

"In the course of 2005, it became indisputable that the U.S. mistreatment of detainees reflected not a failure of training, discipline or oversight, but a deliberate policy choice," the group said. "The problem could not be reduced to a few bad apples at the bottom of the barrel" (New York Times, January 12, 2006).

The US Navy’s general counsel foresaw the horrors that would be perpetrated by US occupation forces at Abu Ghraib two years before the US practices of torture and humiliation came to light. His conclusions were based on the fact that the US state was operating on the basis of "legal theories granting the president the right to authorize abuse despite the Geneva Conventions" (Washington Post, February 20, 2006).

Last month, Robert Grenier, the head of the CIA’s counter-terrorism center was sacked "because he opposed detaining al-Qaeda suspects in secret prisons abroad, sending them to other countries for interrogations and using forms of torture" (Times Online, February 12, 2006).

Also last month, a UN Human Rights Commission report condemned the United States for "committing acts amounting to torture at Guantanamo Bay" and seriously undermining "the rule of law and a number of fundamental universally recognized human rights" (Times Online, February 15, 2006).

The US state has adopted mistreatment and torture as a policy choice.

Embarrassed by the revelations of systematic abuse at Abu Ghraib, and persistent evidence that "battlefield detainees" were being tortured at the US concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay, US legislators sought to impose restraints on the state, limiting the latitude of US government employees to practice torture, or what is euphemistically called "enhanced interrogation techniques."

This didn’t sit well with the Bush administration, which wanted carte blanche to treat prisoners in any way it desired.

Vice-President Dick Cheney and CIA Director Porter J. Goss asked the US Congress to exempt the CIA from the legislation banning "cruel and degrading treatment of any prisoner in U.S. custody" (Washington Post, November 2, 2005).

In Cheney’s and Goss’s view, the CIA would continue to humiliate, degrade and torture Iraqis and others in US custody for resisting US domination and invasion of their homelands – that is, doing to the Americans what the resistance movements throughout Europe did to the Nazis.

The USA did not free Iraq.

They wrecked it.

This was deliberate.

Satellite TV has been kept away from the recent deadly protests against poverty and misery in Iraq.

(February 2011 -Iraq's protests test Maliki's leadership‎)

Baghdad rail station 1959 - Website for this image iraqimojo.blogspot.com

Iraqis can see what could be going to happen to Libya, Tunisia and Egypt.

On 3 March 2011, we read that, Iraq's Moqtada al-Sadr urged Iraqis to protest against any possible US military intervention in Libya. (Iraq's Sadr urges protests against US over Libya)

According to Sadr, the USA installed Gaddafi and now wants to remove him.

Sadr accused the USA and western nations of:

1. Planting agents in Arab states.

2. Supporting dictatorships.

3. Then intervening in the name of democracy and claiming to liberate Arabs.

Saddam was put into power by the CIA.

Saddam offered to leave Iraq in order to avoid a war.

The real Saddam escaped to Belarus.

CNN (CNN.com - UAE official: Hussein was open to exile - Nov 2, 2005) reported:

"Days before the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, Saddam Hussein agreed in principle to accept an offer of exile from the United Arab Emirates... a UAE government senior official told CNN.

"The reported offer came before an emergency Arab League meeting in Egypt in discussions between UAE officials and a Hussein aide...

"The UAE official's account was repeated by another source who attended the Arab League summit and, separately, by a senior UAE government official...

"News of the reported offer from the UAE emerged... during an interview broadcast by the Arab network Al-Arabiya with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, one of the United Arab Emirates.

"The offer was spearheaded by his father, then-UAE President Sheikh Zayed Ben Sultan Al Nahayan, who died November 3...

'"We had secured the approval of the main players, everyone who was involved, and the man concerned - Saddam Hussein - in 24 hours,' he said...

CNN.com - UAE official: Hussein was open to exile - "Nov 2, 2005

Saddam was put into power by the CIA.

Richard Sale, UPI Intelligence Correspondent, wrote about Saddam and the CIA on 4/10/2003 (Exclusive: Saddam Was key in early CIA plot).

According to Sale, British scholars and former U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials say that Saddam Hussein was used by the U.S. intelligences services for over 40 years.

In 1959, Saddam was part of a CIA-authorized six-man squad trying to assassinate Iraqi Prime Minister Gen. Abd al-Karim Qasim.

CIA operative Miles Copeland told UPI the CIA had had "close ties" with Iraq's Baath Party, and with the Egyptian intelligence service.

Roger Morris, a former National Security Council staffer, confirmed that the CIA had chosen the Baath Party "as its instrument."

According to another former senior State Department official, Saddam was in his early 20s, when he became a part of the U.S. plot to get rid of Qasim.

Adel Darwish, Middle East expert and author of "Unholy Babylon," said that Saddam's CIA handler was an Iraqi dentist working for CIA and Egyptian intelligence.

U.S. officials separately confirmed Darwish's account.

The 1959 assassination was botched. Qasim escaped death, and Saddam escaped to Tikrit, thanks to CIA and Egyptian intelligence agents, several U.S. government officials said.

Saddam then moved to Beirut, according to Darwish and former senior CIA officials. In Beirut, the CIA put Saddam through a training course, former CIA officials said.

Saddam then moved to Cairo. According to former U.S. intelligence officials, Saddam made frequent visits to the American Embassy.

In 1963 Qasim was killed in a Baath Party coup. Morris claimed that the CIA was behind the coup.

The CIA provided the Iraqi National Guardsmen with lists of suspected communists who were then murdered, according to former U.S. intelligence officials.

Middle East expert Adel Darwish told UPI that Saddam presided over the mass killings.

A former senior CIA official said: "It was a bit like the mysterious killings of Iran's communists just after Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in 1979. All 4,000 of his communists suddenly got killed."

Saddam became head of al-Jihaz a-Khas, the secret intelligence service of the Baath Party.

The CIA/Defense Intelligence Agency connection with Saddam continued.

According to a former DIA official, the U.S. shared satellite intelligence with both Iraq and Iran during the Iran-Iraq war in an attempt to produce a military stalemate.

The typical CIA guy.

According to bhtimes.blogspot (In Search of Saddam Hussein’s WMD:Russian Intelligence, Belarus & Highway 11 http://bhtimes.blogspot.com/search?q=highway+11+saddam)

"On March 29 and 30, Saddam contacted Belarus.

"The former Soviet Republic had been one of many that offered Saddam exile in the days just prior to the war...

"Saddam had a Belarusian IL-76 transport plane flown to Baghdad... and flown back to Belarus.

"After the fall of Saddam's regime, it was found that many of the senior leaders who had fled went to Syria and Belarus."

Faisal II, King of Iraq

Hussein Given Safe Haven in Belarus?

"Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has obtained safe haven in Belarus, several intelligence agencies believe.

"Western intelligence sources said several intelligence agencies in the Middle East and Europe base this assessment on new information about a March 29 flight from Baghdad to Minsk.

"They said the flight of a chartered cargo plane could have transported Saddam, his sons and much of his family to Belarus.

"'There's no proof that Saddam was on the plane but we have proof that a plane left on that day from Baghdad airport and arrived in Minsk,' a senior intelligence source said.

"'If you can think of anybody else who could obtain permission to fly out of Baghdad in the middle of a war, then please tell me.'...

"U.S. officials said Saddam had been exploring the prospect of fleeing to Belarus over the last year.

"They said the Iraqi ruler was in close contact with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and that Minsk became a major military supplier to Baghdad.

"Within hours after the departure of the cargo flight to Minsk on March 29, the Saddam regime was awash with rumors that the president had escaped.

"Intelligence sources said the rumors spread rapidly throughout the military command and among field officers.

"'There was a significant decline in Iraqi combat strength starting from around March 31,' an intelligence source said.

"'In interviews with coalition interrogators, Iraqi commanders have attributed the decline in combat to the feeling that Saddam had fled.'"

Was Saddam put on trial or was it a double?

It seems to us that the Saddam who was on trial was a fake.

The body language was not that of the dictator.

Mrs. Saddam says defendant Saddam is not her Saddam

From: Idaho Observer: Mrs. Saddam says defendant is not her husband

BAGHDAD -- Seldom in history has there been a question as to the true identity of a defendant in a court trial.

However, in the alleged trial of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, controversy abounds as to whether or not the man being tried is, indeed, Saddam Hussein.

Mike Ruppert reported June 18, 2004, that the Russian newspaper Pravda published a story claiming the U.S. finally allowed Saddam's wife Sajida Heiralla Tuffa to see her husband.

Within moments of entering the prison in Quatar where the deposed president is allegedly being held, she reportedly reemerged screaming in a rage, “This is not my husband, it's his double, where is my husband? Take me to my husband!”

Since Tuffa's public display of outrage, several reporters have noted that live footage and photos of the man being tried as Saddam reveal that he has bad teeth and an underbite. Conversely, photos of the real Saddam consistently show that he has near perfect teeth and an overbite.

The following is from Prison Planet and was written by Joe Vials.

Sajida Heiralla Tuffah was Saddam's wife and the mother of his children.

Mrs Saddam says Saddam is not Saddam Joe Vialls June 18 2004

"After the Russians applied enormous diplomatic pressure, America was finally obliged to allow Sajida Heiralla Tuffah access to her husband in Qatar, where he had been flown in some luxury aboard a United States Air Force VIP jet.

"The facilities at Baghdad Airport were considered to be sub-standard, besides which, people were beginning to talk about the laughing and bourbon-swilling Muslim prisoner, who was the only one in sight not wearing a hood and sensory deprivation earphones, and not being sexually abused by Ricardo Sanchez.

"Well, you could have heard a pin drop all the way across Qatar.

"Sajida arrived from Syria with her official escort Sheikh Hamad Al-Tani, and then entered the prison, emerging only moments later pink with rage and shouting, "This is not my husband but his double. Where is my husband? Take me to my husband".

"American officials rushed forward to shield Mrs Saddam from perplexed Russian observers, trying to insist that Saddam had changed a lot while in custody and she probably didn't recognise him.

"This was certainly not the best way to handle the Iraqi President's wife. "You think I do not know my husband?" Sajida shouted furiously, "I was married to the man for more than twenty-five years!" Then she stormed off, never to return.

"This remarkable confrontation was reported by Pravda and four other newspapers in the east between 13 and 17 April, but the New York Times and others made damn sure you didn't read or hear about it in the west."

CAPTION CONTEST

It is entirely likely that Saddam, who was trained and put into power by the CIA ( aangirfan: Saddam worked for the CIA), was not hanged and that the hanging video was some kind of fake.

We know that Saddam offered to leave Iraq before the war started.

EGYPT, IRAQ & THE USA'S GREATER MIDDLE EAST

2011-02-11T08:08:00.000-08:00

The USA wants military and economic control of the 'Greater Middle East' from Morocco to Kazakhstan.

Mubarak opposes the 'Greater Middle East' project.

On 7 February 2011, at Voltairenet, US analyst F. William Engdahl has written: Egypt’s Revolution: Creative Destruction for a 'Greater Middle East’

Among the points made:

1. This is a repeat of the US-orchestrated colour revolutions that hit the former Soviet countries.

The USA is using local opposition leaders coached by the NED (National Endowment for Democracy NED) and other such American organizations.

2. The USA is trying to orchestrate regime changes in Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Jordan and beyond.

3. The process, sometimes called "creative destruction", has been developed by the Pentagon, US intelligence agencies and various think-tanks such as RAND Corporation over decades.

One example was the May 1968 destabilization of De Gaulle in France.

4. The broad outlines of a US strategy are clear.

Egypt’s Mubarak was a major obstacle to the larger US agenda.

Mubarak was opposed to Obama policies on:

A. Iran and how to deal with its nuclear program.

B. Obama policies towards the Persian Gulf states, to Syria, to Lebanon and to the Palestinians.

5. The day of the 'remarkably well-coordinated' demonstrations against Mubarak, key members of the Egyptian military were all in Washington as guests of the Pentagon.

That neutralized the Army.

Khaled Mohamed Saeed died under disputed circumstances in Alexandria in Egypt on June 6, 2010.[1] It was stated by family members that he was "tortured to death for possessing video material that implicates members of the police in a drug deal."[8]

6. The 'New Middle East' project is a strategy to break open the states from Morocco to Afghanistan.

7. In the Egypt revolt, the people involved include:

Twitter-savvy well-trained youth.

Mohammed ElBaradei

The Muslim Brotherhood, whose links to British and American intelligence and freemasonry are widely reported.

A Facebook-based organization calling itself the April 6 Movement.

The Kefaya Movement, the main force behind ElBaradei’s candidature.

8. Kefaya is at the heart of mobilizing the Egyptian protest demonstrations that back ElBaradei’s candidacy.

US defense establishment think-tank the RAND Corporation has conducted a detailed study of Kefaya.

The Kefaya was "sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Department of the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community".

9. RAND has been perfecting techniques of regime change under the name "swarming," the method of deploying mass mobs of digitally-linked youth.

Washington NGOs are being used to advance the Pentagon agenda of global Full Spectrum Dominance.

Egypt by Samer M

10. In May 2009 Hillary Clinton hosted Egyptian activists in Washington under the auspices of Freedom House, another "human rights" Washington-based NGO with a long history of involvement in US-sponsored regime change.

Freedom House and US government-funded regime change NGO, National Endowment for Democracy (NED) are at the heart of the uprisings now sweeping across the Islamic world.

11. The USA's Greater Middle East Project aims to bring Islamic countries from Afghanistan to Morocco under the yoke of the dollar system and all that implies.

12. Washington’s NED (National Endowment for Democracy NED) has been preparing regime destabilizations across North Africa and the Middle East since the 2001-2003 US military invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

The NED website lists Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Sudan.

The NED is active from Tibet to Ukraine, from Venezuela to Tunisia, from Kuwait to Morocco in reshaping the world into a New World Order.

The architect and first head of the NED, Allen Weinstein, told the Washington Post in 1991 that, "a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA".

The NED Board of Directors includes or has included such people as Frank Carlucci and Wesley Clark.

Egypt by Eric Nicholas

13. The Greater Middle East is a blueprint to extend US military control to all of the region.

And to control the oil of the region.

And to control the economies of the region.

The G8 Map of Washington’s Greater Middle East extends right to the borders of China and Russia and West to Morocco.

14. An article in the French Le Monde Diplomatique in April 2004 noted, "besides the Arab countries, it covers Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and Israel."

15. Notably, in 2004 there was vehement opposition from Mubarak of Egypt and from the King of Saudi Arabia.

16. The idea is to have a Greater Middle East under firm US grip as a major control of the capital flows and energy flows of a future China, Russia and the European Union.

The Washington strategy of "creative destruction" is clearly causing sleepless nights not only in the Islamic world but also reportedly in Tel Aviv, and ultimately by now also in Beijing and Moscow and across Central Asia.

Egyptians by upyernoz

Some figures (Egypt.):

1. Between 1980 and 2007 Egypt’s Human Development Index (HDI) rose 42%.

2. Egypt’s average annual HDI growth was 10th fastest worldwide and almost double the global average.

3. Between 2005 & 2008 Poverty, as defined by those living under $2/day, fell over 11%

4. Only 16% of the population now live on less than $2 per day.

5. The Gini Index, the international measure of wealth inequality, fell 7% between 1999 & 2007.

6. The share of the poorest 10% in national income rose 5% and the share of richest 10% fell 6% in the same period.

The ratio of the wealth of the richest to the poorest 10% also fell 10%.

TUNISIA - THE NEW IRAQ

2011-01-18T13:33:00.000-08:00

On 16 January 2011, top French scholar Bernard Lugan wrote about Tunisia.

(L'africaniste Bernard Lugan ne se réjouit pas de la chute du régime tunisien de Ben Ali ... Translate this page / Bernard Lugan news on Tunisia)

According to his article:

1. President Ben Ali changed Tunisia for the better.

Under Ben Ali, Tunisia attracted capital and modern industries.

Tunisia was a pole of stability and tolerance in the Muslim world.

Thousands of patients came to Tunisia for its European-standard medical care.

Youth was well educated.

Women were free.

And girls did not wear the veil.

2. Today, it is all destroyed.

There is systematic looting.

Thugs knock down doors and loot and rape.

Honest citizens live in terror.

They form themselves into militias.

The only political leaders quoted by the media seem to be the leaders of the Communist Party of Tunisia.

3. The blindness of the journalistic world is breathtaking.

How can they forget, these uneducated parrots, the fall of the Shah and ...the mullahs?

4. The next country which will be wrecked is Egypt and then the consequences will be incalculable.

The scenario is known in advance: uprisings due to the increase in food prices and the suicidal population, a strong police response whipped up by the eternal sermonizers and finally a Western media campaign against the Mubarak family accused of enrichment.

And the road will be open for an Islamic republic.

5. These tragic events inspire a renewed contempt for our "political class".

(Bernard Lugan (born 1946 in Meknès, Morocco) is a contemporary French historian and Associate Professor of African history at Jean Moulin University Lyon. He also teaches at the French Institute of Defense Studies. A specialist of Africa since 1971, he has authored many books on the African continent. He was the editor of "L'Afrique réelle".)

Tunisia: the new Iraq. George W. Bush talked about 'democracy' taking hold in Iraq and then the region.

According to The Telegraph (Tunisia's new government implodes on day one): 18 Jan 2011:

"Police were forced to use tear gas and baton charges to break up multiple protests in Tunis city centre.

"Outside the capital, official authority disintegrated as provincial towns were swept by rampaging mobs...

"Whole corporations providing employment for tens of thousands have been shuttered."

The Ayatollah trvelled from France to Iran accompanied by his friends in MI6.

The mad Moslems all work for the CIA and its friends (THE CIA'S MOSLEM FRIENDS, FROM BIN LADEN TO THE MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD.)

According to Andrew Gavin Marshall, at Global Research, 5 September 2010, (The “Arc of Crisis”):

When Jimmy Carter became President, his government decided to support the Ayatollahs in Iran.

In 1978, Zbigniew Brzezinski referred to "an arc of crisis" and according to Time magazine, in January 1979, the "center of gravity of this arc is Iran, the world's fourth largest oil producer."

According to Peter Dale Scott, in The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America, "There was this idea that the Islamic forces could be used against the Soviet Union."

In 1978, Carter named George Ball to head a special White House Iran task force.

"Ball recommended that Washington drop support for the Shah of Iran and support the fundamentalist Islamic opposition of Ayatollah Khomeini." (F. William Engdahl, A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order. )

Manouchehr Ganji was a minister in the Shah's government and he has Defying the Iranian Revolution: From a Minister to the Shah to a Leader of Resistance.

According to Ganji, in 1978, the Shah believed that "the Carter administration was plotting to topple his regime."

In 1978, the Shah's wife, told Ganji that, "I wanted to tell you that the Americans are maneuvering to bring down the Shah... they even want to topple the regime."

Ramsey Clark, a former US Attorney General, and a professor Richard Falk, visited Khomeini in Paris.

According to Manouchehr Ganji, James Bill, a Carter adviser, felt that, "a religious movement brought about with the United States' assistance would be a natural friend of the United States."

The BBC broadcast pro-Khomeini programs daily in Iran. (F. William Engdahl, A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order)

At the 1979 Bilderberg meeting, Bernard Lewis, a British historian, presented a British-American plan which supported "the radical Muslim Brotherhood movement behind Khomeini, in order to promote balkanization of the entire Muslim Near East along tribal and religious lines."

While Khomeini was in Paris, a representative of the French President organized a meeting between Khomeini and "current world powers." (http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=43328)

In February 1979, Khomeini was flown out of Paris on an Air France flight, to return to Iran, "with the blessing of Jimmy Carter."

(Michael D. Evans, Father of the Iranian revolution. The Jerusalem Post: June 20, 2007: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1181813077590&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull)

Covertly, the United States immediately stirred up war in the region.

Iraq invaded Iran, in April 1980.

Two months before the war, Brzezinski met with Saddam Hussein in Jordan, where he gave support for the destabilization of Iran.

Ghannouchi

Tunisia's former president, Ben Ali, maintained that the Islamist threat was Tunisia's major problem. (The Islamist Threat In Tunisia.)

Tunisians are moderate Moslems.

So the 'Islamist' threat means the CIA-Mossad threat.

Annahda is the Tunisian Islamist group created in 1989 and led by Rachid Ghannouchi.

Interestingly, Rachid Ghannouchi lives in London, but is now planning to return to Tunisia.

In April 2002, a terrorist attack in Djerba in Tunisia, was claimed by the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (CIA-Mossad).

This became Al Qaida (the CIA-Mossad) in the Islamic Maghreb in 2007.

Naturally, Ben Ali had to run a tight ship to avoid destabilisation by the CIA and its 'Islamist' friends.

Soldiers aid the work of the traffickers in arms, heroin, human organs and children.

These trafficking gangs are often alliances of people whose origins are Jewish, Moslem, Christian, Hindu, and atheist.

Osama bin Laden is reported to have worked with the Jewish Russian Mafia. (Mafias)

Moslem Hashim Thaci's gang is reported to have sold stolen human organs to Jewish gangsters.

1. Remember that Britain's SAS trained the Khmer Rouge.

And the policies of the Pentagon helped the Khmer Rouge to come to power. (Henry Kissinger)

The Khmer Rouge policy of mass murder "was remarkably similar to the one being carried out by the US under Theodore Shackley's Operation Phoenix..."

"Kissinger and other officials began to see the potential of the Khmer Rouge for implementing the genocidal population reductions that had now been made the official doctrine of the US regime." (Chapter 14 – Bush in Beijing « TARPLEY.net)

All soldiers are pretty much the same. Mass murder of women and children, by the British military, in Dresden 1944.

The Vietnam-Cambodia story is about making money from armaments and from heroin.

"During US military involvement in ... Indo-China, Air America flew opium throughout the area.

"A laboratory built at CIA headquarters in northern Laos was used to refine heroin.

"After a decade of American military intervention, South-east Asia had become the source of 70% of the world's illicit opium and the major supplier of raw materials for America's booming heroin market." (Who controls Crime?)

The day General McArthur signed the peace treaty with Japan half the weapons stored on Okinawa were shipped to Ho Chi Minh and General Giap who met these shipments at the docks of Hai Phong harbor with Lucien Conein, the CIA case officer for Diem.

Hashim Thaci (left), 'involved in selling heroin, weapons and human organs.'

2. NATO soldiers deliberately stirred up problems in Yugoslavia and put the gangster Hashim Thaci into power in Kosovo.

In 1979, German military intelligence (the BND) sent a team of secret agents to Zagreb.

Their mission was to support Franjo Tudjman, a racist who actively promoted ethnic hatred and did all he could to cause the break-up of Yugoslavia. (What really happened to Yugoslavia.)

Osama bin Laden was used by NATO in Kosovo. (THE CIA'S MOSLEM FRIENDS.)

NATO put the Moslem 'gangster' Hashim Thaci into power in Kosovo.

Thaci has said "I love Israel. What a great country! Kosovo is a friend of Israel." (Kosovo Nationhood: Problem for Israel?)

Thaci's gang reportedly captured Christians and slowly harvested their organs. (Kosovo's Thachi: Human Organs Trafficker)

Human organs were reportedly sold by the Moslem gang to Jewish gangsters.

Supporting Thaci are the soldiers of the USA, UK and NATO.

Twelfth Bough: exposes much more of the story!

3. Soldiers do the work of big bad businessmen.

World War One was started and kept going by certain plotters.

During World War One, Sir William Wiseman, a Jew who was high up in British Intelligence, kept in friendly touch with Max Warburg, the Jew in charge of German Intelligence,

And, the British Naval Attaché in Scandinavia, Rear Admiral M.P. Consett, kept track of the movement of war supplies from the Jewish bankers to the Germans.

Consett, in his book Triumph of the Unarmed Forces (published 1923), writes that if the bankers had not continually supplied Germany with money and materials, then World War I would have ended in less than a year.

Soldiers keep the Feudal System in place. Famished Chinese child dying in a gutter, by George Silk 1946.

"American bankers supplied Adolf Hitler with millions of dollars to help build up his Nazi party...

"Hitler received $10 million from Kuhn Loeb and Cie. during 1929, further payments of $15 million in 1931, and $7 million when Hitler took power in 1933." (Cached)

Famous partners of this Jewish firm included Otto Kahn, Paul Warburg, Felix Warburg, Mortimer Schiff, Benjamin Buttenwieser, Lewis Strauss and Sigmund Warburg. (Kuhn, Loeb & Co. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

American soldiers killed the innocent parents of this blood-spattered girl at a checkpoint in Iraq. When the photo was published, photographer Hondros was kicked out of the unit. Photo by Chris Hondros 2005.

What about Soviet Russia?

Lenin and his friends were helped by certain big bad businessmen.

"There is the statement (substantiated by a cablegram) by William Boyce Thompson - a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a large stockholder in the Rockefeller-controlled Chase Bank, and a financial associate of the Guggenheims and the Morgans - that he (Thompson) contributed $1 million to the Bolshevik Revolution." (Cached)

nobody reminded us of the American Kay Griggs (website here) whose former husband, Colonel George Griggs, was reportedly head of NATO's Psychological Operations.

Kay Griggs reports her husband as saying that "we've never been an enemy to the Soviet Union."

Kay came to the conclusion that the US military was all about drug-running and weapons sales. - (Kay Griggs Talks - Home.)

And let's not forget that Saddam and the Ayatollahs were put into power by the Pentagon and CIA.

War is a racket, kept going by soldiers. This 12-yr-old girl with a cross around her neck and with multiple wounds uses a stick to hobble through debris in Dong Xoai. Her father, sister and a brother were killed and their home destroyed. Photo by Horst Faas 1965.

Goebbels awarding Willi Huebner the Iron Cross.

The big bad gangsters and the big bad businessmen work in alliance with the soldiers.

People who salute the military are at the same time helping to keep the bad guys in power.

TERRORISM 1910 - 2010

2010-11-24T11:56:00.000-08:00

Facing Jewish terrorists on Sidney Street, London, in 1911

We see lots of headlines about terror in Iraq (Police: 11 killed in attacks across Iraq)

Terrorism is not new.

In 1910 and 1911, a bunch of mainly Jewish terrorists attacked targets in London. (Siege of Sidney Street - Wikipedia)

The group included Jekabs Peterss, Peter (the Painter) Piatkow, George Gardstein, Janis Jakle, Morris Stein, Sara Trassjonsky, Luba Milstein, Betsy Gershon, Fritz Svaars and William Sokoloff.

Jekabs Peterss is the one thought to have killed three British policemen.

He was 'a close associate of Feliks Dzerzhinsky, founder of the Cheka.'

In 1911, in Libya, the Italians bombed innocent civilians from the air. (It's not just the Israelis who murder kids and steal ...)

In 1919, in the USA, certain Italians were said to be responsible for a parcel bomb which was aimed at Senator Thomas Hardwick.

It was one of many bombs sent to American politicians, judges and businessmen. Several people were killed. (A history of parcel bombs: Going postal The Economist)

Churchill, who helped start World War I, Truman who helped start the Korean War and Stalin

Jewish terrorists killed British soldiers in Palestine.

By 1948, some 200 British Soldiers and 90 British policemen had been murdered by Jewish terrorist gangs such as Irgun.

Jewish terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in 1946, killing 91 people. (THE REAL TERRORISTS; THE ATTEMPT TO BOMB THE HOUSE OF ...)

In 1946 a number of bombs exploded in London and an attempt was made to drop on a bomb on the House of Commons from a hired plane.

The culprits were Jewish terrorists.

The House of Commons was saved when French Police discovered members of the Jewish Stern Gang preparing to fly across the channel in a plane containing a large bomb. (Source: BBC - Radio 4 Document - A Laudable Invasion)

In 1954, Israeli agents, working in Egypt, planted bombs in several buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and left evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. (Dahab, King David, Lavon...)

This was the Lavon Affair.

American Imperialism

In 1961 Israel’s secret service, Mossad, sent a parcel bomb to Alois Brunner; he lost an eye. Another attack in 1980 robbed him four fingers.

After the Munich Olympics massacre in 1972, Israel launched the Wrath of God operation, which sent many parcel bombs to its enemies. (A history of parcel bombs: Going postal The Economist)

In 1967, Israel, in league with the Pentagon, attacked and attempted to sink the USS Liberty, so that Egypt could be blamed. (aangirfan: The US government tried to sink the USS Liberty).

Zionist Michael Ledeen is one of the people linked to the CIA and NATO's Operation Gladio.

"Ledeen's Zionist/fascist views had been shaped by George Mosse, 'a German Jewish emigré, who had been on good terms with such Nazi leaders as Joseph Goebbels and Herman Goering." (NEOCONSERVATISM - FASCIST ZIONISM)

Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony: 'You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force ... the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security." (The Bologna Bomb 1980, Gladio, terrorism in Europe)

The CIA's torture of children in MK ULTRA

Reportedly, in 1986, at Berlin's La Belle Disco, people working for Mossad, and the CIA, killed two US servicemen, a Turkish woman. 229 people were maimed.

In 1986, during the Reagan administration, Mossad broadcast false-flag messages from a location in Libya (termed Operation Trojan Horse) in order to unfairly blame Libya for the La Belle terror attack.

(Victor Ostrovsky: How Mossad got America to bomb Libya and fight Iraq) (aangirfan: Abu Nidal reportedly worked for the CIA and MOSSAD / aangirfan: The CIA, Abu Nidal and Lockerbie)

Between 1978 and 1995, America Ted Kaczynski, allegedly Jewish, sent 16 parcel bombs, killing three people.

In 2001, letters containing anthrax spores were sent to American senators and news organisations, killing five and infecting seventeen.

Apparently, the Anthrax Letters were sent by a Jew, but intended to frame an Arab. (News Story identifying Dr. Philip Zack as the man caught entering the Anthrax storage area at Fort Detrick without authorization.)

David Headley has admitted that he helped plan the 2008 attacks on Mumbai.

David Headley's mother, allegedly, was an American Jewish lady. (according to a comment here: Cached)

David Headley visited various Jewish sites in India.

He claimed to be Jewish when he reportedly stayed at the Chabad centre in Mumbai in July 2008.

The American FBI found a book in his bag in Chicago entitled 'To Pray as a Jew'. (Cached )

David Headley.

According to recently revealed documents, certain military leaders planned acts of terrorism which were to be blamed on al-Qaeda. (Newly exposed coup planned to turn the clock back to 1923 )

Ergenekon is the secret fascist organisation in Turkey which from time to time commits acts of terrorism and which from time to time carries out fascist coups.

Ergenekon is linked to the Turkish military.

Turkish and other media have reported that Mossad has supported Ergenekon. (Mossad implicated in a coup plot in Turkey.)

There have also been reports that the CIA has supported Ergenekon. (aangirfan: Gladio-style terror in Istanbul, New York, Jakarta ... )

Ergenekon has been linked to heroin smuggling from Afghanistan through Turkey. (Deep State Coup Averted in Turkey - by Christopher Deliso )

On 30 January 2010, we learn that elements of the Turkish military, linked to Ergenekon, devised Operation Cage as part of its plans to topple the Turkish government. (Cage probe deepens with Poyrazköy indictment)

Operation Cage reportedly included the idea of detonating explosives during school field trips to military museums.

The intention was to kill lots of kids.

Operation Sledgehammer, which is linked to Ergenekon, (OPERATION SLEDGEHAMMER AIMED TO DOWN AN AIRCRAFT) helps us to understand 9 11 and the London tube bombings.
It is a suitcase of documents which reveals Operation Sledgehammer, the 2003 plan for acts of terrorism and a Turkish coup

The documents reveal that the Turkish military planned to down a Turkish aircraft.

The documents reveal the military's plans to detonate bombs in mosques. (KILLING KIDS ON A FIELD TRIP; ERGENEKON AND 9 11)

THE MILITARY DOES NOT DEFEND US

2010-10-29T07:55:00.000-07:00

Daddy avoided getting killed in a stupid war started by militarists, imperialists and bankers.

The military does not defend us.

Prior to World War II, there were many people within UK military intelligence who were fans of Hitler, or working for Stalin.

Maxwell Knight, the model for James Bond's boss M, served as Director of Intelligence of the British Fascists from 1924 to 1927.

Before the start of the Vietnam war, America shipped weapons to Ho Chi Minh. (The New U.S.-British Oil Imperialism)

Three of the alleged 9 11 hijackers listed their address on drivers licenses and car registrations as the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. (http://www.newsweek.com/id/75797)

The Italian military did not prevent the masonic lodge P2 from organising the Bologna Bombing of 1980.

P-2 included within its ranks 195 top military officers. (The Strategy of Tension in Italy libcom.org)

The UK military turned a blind eye to America's links to the IRA.

In November 1982, five men were acquitted of smuggling arms to the IRA after they revealed that the CIA had approved the shipment.[98]

There are two sorts of people within the military:

1. The small corrupt elite who know what is going on.

2. The rest.

Edith Cavell

In 1914, Edith Cavell, an English nurse, was running a hospital in Belgium.

Edith took charge of the Belgian Relief Commission which aimed to get food and medical supplies to war-ravaged Belgium.

Allied charities sent huge amounts of food and medicine to Belgium.

Edith discovered that certain people in Britain were making sure all these supplies ended up in the German Empire.

She discovered that Jewish-owned banks in England were sending money to the Germans to help them buy these supplies.

This was causing famine in Belgium.

Edith wrote a letter of protest to a British magazine The Nursing Mirror, which published the letter on 15 April 1915.

Edith’s letter was shown to Sir William Wiseman, a Jew who was high up in British Intelligence.

Reportedly, Wiseman contacted Max Warburg, the Jew in charge of German Intelligence, and told Warburg to execute Edith as a British spy.

Max Warburg

Wiseman also contacted Max’s brother Paul, the Jewish head of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Thousands of Germans wrote letters to their government demanding that Edith be released.

Americans wrote to the British Red Cross; but the head of the British Red Cross was Robert Cecil, reportedly a Jew.

Edith was shot.

Robert Cecil, who had Jewish origins, became a minister in Britain's government.

The British Naval Attaché in Scandinavia, Rear Admiral M.P. Consett, kept track of the movement of war supplies from the Jewish bankers to the Germans.

Consett, in his book Triumph of the Unarmed Forces (published 1923), writes that if the bankers had not continually supplied Germany with money and materials, then World War I would have ended in less than a year.

German U-boats were made from Swedish iron ore; Swedish vessels bringing iron ore to Germany needed coal, and coal was controlled by Britain.

Reportedly, the Jewish bankers sent coal to Swedish ship owners.

Rear Admiral Consett protested.

An earlier Robert Cecil was the brains behind the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a notorious act of fake terrorism.

Robert Cecil, the British Minister of 'Blockade', was reportedly a friend of the Jewish bankers.

Reportedly, Robert Cecil told Admiral Consett to keep quiet.

Germany also needed glycerin (animal fat) to manufacture explosives. England controlled the world glycerin trade.

The Jewish bankers sold glycerin to neutral countries, which sold it to Germany.

Lusitania

Reportedly, William Wiseman, the Jewish head of British Intelligence in the United States, made sure there were no British warships available to protect ocean liners at key locations.

The Lusitania was sunk by German torpedoes. The USA entered the war.

The Omagh Bombing was said to have been the work of MI5 and its friends.

The UK military has been linked to 'terrorism'.

Allegedly, the UK military decided to discredit the Irish nationalists by infiltrating them and then carrying out attrocities.

In 1972, in the United Kingdom, British troops shot dead 13 British civilians.

Seven of the dead were kids.

At least five people were shot in the back.

This was Bloody Sunday. (Bloody Sunday (1972) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

From October to November 1974 there was a wave of 'IRA bombs' in British pubs killing 28 people.

In October 1984, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's cabinet narrowly escaped an 'IRA bomb' which killed five people at a hotel in Brighton.

In November 1982, five men were acquitted of smuggling arms to the IRA after they revealed that the CIA had approved the shipment.[98]

'CIA agent Gaddafi' supplied the IRA with weapons.

In December 1988 Pan Am 103 crashed on the town of Lockerbie, Scotland, and the CIA has been accused of carrying out this act of terrorism (Lockerbie evidence 'planted by CIA' - UK Politics. / aangirfan: Lockerbie Evidence)

On 7 July 2005 blasts on London transport killed 52 people.

There is evidence that in the case of the 7/7 LONDON BOMBINGS, FASCISM WAS AT WORK

The real terrorists are people like Irgun and the Stern Gang.

isupporttheresistance.blogspot.com has an article entitled: Political Violence and Terrorism

Here is a brief extract:

In the early hours of the 12th of July, 1947, two British field security NCOs, Sergeants Paice and Martin, were held up by five armed members of Irgun and driven off to a secret hiding place.

Three weeks later their bodies were found hanging from a eucalyptus tree...

By 1948 some 200 British Soldiers and 90 British policemen had been murdered by nationalist terrorist gangs such as Irgun...

The nationalist ‘fight’ was also extended to acts of terrorism in Britain and against British people and property in Europe.

The terrorist groups Irgun and the Stern Gang (known as Lehi in Hebrew) were active in Britain throughout the late 1940s.

It is a matter of record, for example, there were plans to crash an aircraft into the House of Commons, and to murder members of the British armed forces.

The British Embassy in Rome was bombed.

In November 1944 Lord Moyne was murdered by members of the Stern gang in Cairo and there are reliable reports of the existence of plans to assassinate Government Ministers, including the Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevan.

In 1946 a female agent of Irgun planted a bomb at the Colonial Office in London. According to Commander Leonard Burt of Special Branch this would have “blown the sort of hole that was blown in the King David Hotel”.

It was only by good fortune that a failure of the pocket-watch timer prevented detonation.

Another Irgun terrorist operating in Britain at the time was Monty Harris. Harris was sentenced to seven years imprisonment after being convicted of making thermite incendiary bombs on his premises at Gravel Street near Petticoat Lane. The use to which these devices were to be put was never established.

Livni and friend

Tzipora Livni was Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs.

She is the daughter of Eitan Livni, born in Poland, and Sara Rosenberg, both of whom were members of the anti-British, Jewish terrorist organisation called Irgun.

Journalist Louis Heren (Media Lens Israel's New Foreign Minister.) wrote in The Times, 11 February 1992:

"Eitan Livni was not a leader of a militant Jewish independence movement.

"The Irgun Zwai Leumi was a terrorist oganization, and a particularly nasty one.

"Even its defenders, who argued that the end could justify the means at decisive moments in history, were horrified by the massacre at Deir Yassin and the hanging of the British sergeants."

Irgun killed British people.

Marvin Paice and Clifford Martin, the two british sergants who were hanged in Palestine, 1947, by the Irgun.

In The New York Times, 5 February 2006, Steven Erlanger (Israel's New Foreign Minister.) wrote:

"Tzipi Livni, 47, is ... the daughter of Zionist guerrillas - terrorists in some eyes -who met in the Irgun, the underground organization that fought the British... and that blew up the British headquarters in the King David Hotel in 1946, killing 91 people.

Jewish terrorists bombed the King David Hotel, killing many British people.

"Her father, Eitan, was the Irgun's head of operations, and on his gravestone is the map of greater Israel, extending over both sides of the Jordan River...

"She served in the army, becoming a lieutenant, and at the age of 22 began working for the Mossad, the intelligence service, where she stayed for four years."

Greater Israel

According to The Times Obituary, 5 February 1992:

"Eitan Livni was born Yerucham Bzozowitch in Gerodna, Poland, in 1919.

"On the night of April 2, 1944, a few dozen Jewish insurgents sabotaged railway stations and bridges along 25 miles of line in Palestine.

"They belonged to the Irgun group, headed by Menachem Begin, which had begun a campaign of violence against the British administration in Palestine at the beginning of that year...

"Livni... in August 1947 was dispatched by Begin to organise Irgun's military activities against British targets in Europe...

Jews tried to bomb the British parliament

The Jews were prepared to use terrorism against Britain.

The Stern gang (Lehi) were Jewish terrorists. They tried to bomb the British Parliament.

In 1946 the British security services issued this warning:"Members of the Stern group are now being organised and are under training. It is expected that they will be sent to the United Kingdom to assassinate important members of his majesty’s government, particularly, Mr Bevin."

In 1946 a number of bombs exploded in London and an attempt was made to drop on a bomb on the House of Commons from a hired plane.

The House of Commons was saved when French Police discovered members of the Stern Gang preparing to fly across the channel in a plane containing a large bomb. (Source: BBC - Radio 4 Document - A Laudable Invasion)

In 1940, The Stern Gang (Lehi) proposed intervening in World War II on the side of Nazi Germany. (Lehi (group) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Mountbatten was killed by a bomb in 1979.

In an interview with The Guardian on 9 January 1984, former UK government minister Enoch Powell claimed that the Americans murdered Lord Mountbatten and Margaret Thatcher's friend Airey Neave.

"The Mountbatten murder was a high-level 'job' not unconnected with the nuclear strategy of the United States" (Guardian 9th January 1984). Mountbatten was said to be in favour of nuclear disarmament.

Powell claimed the evidence came from a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary with whom he had a conversation. (Simon Heffer, Like the Roman: The Life of Enoch Powell, 1999, p. 881.)

Lord Mountbatten was rumoured to have been a visitor to Northern Ireland's Kincora children's home which "was run as a virtual gay brothel by loyalist leaders and MI5." (Lord Mountbatten linked to Kincora child - united kingdom)(aangirfan: Child abuse at the Kincora boys' home)

12 October 1984 bomb - Grand Hotel Brighton

In the USA, in November 1982, five men were acquitted of smuggling arms to the IRA after they revealed that the CIA had approved the shipment.[98]

On 12 October 1984, a bomb went off at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England.

The bomb, planted by Patrick Magee, a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), was intended to kill Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet, who were staying at the hotel for the Conservative Party conference.

The Irish National Liberation Army was a rival to the Official IRA, and may have been set up in order to weaken the Nationalist cause.

There is a theory that many of the Irish terror groups were Mafias run by elements of the CIA and MI6. It was all about making money from drugs and guns.

Kevin Fulton, a former British soldier claimed that he had flown to New York, met FBI and MI5 agents and was given money to buy an infra-red device to be used to set off IRA bombs. (Congress probes 'IoS' revelations on IRA link.)

The INLA murdered 113 people in the 80s and 90s.

Neave was murdered in 1979.

When Margaret Thatcher's close friend Airey Neave was assassinated in 1979, in a car-bomb attack at a House of Commons carpark, the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) was among the groups that claimed responsibility for the assassination.

Journalist Paul Routledge, in his book Public Servant Secret Agent, floated the idea that Neave was killed by people within MI6 and the CIA.

In 2002, Journalist Paul Donovan wrote, in the Irish Democrat, about "A tangled web of intrigue"

According to Donovan:

1. Neave sought to clean up the corruption within the security services.

2. Neave was killed by a bomb. Gerald James, former chief of the armaments firm Astra Holdings, wrote that the mercury switch on the bomb was only available to the CIA at the time.

3. Enoch Powell claimed that the CIA wanted a united Ireland within NATO.

Former UK cabinet minister Tony Benn, who supports nuclear disarmament and has publicly supported Sinn Féin and the unification of Ireland

From Wikipedia we learn:

UK politician Tony Benn records in his diary (17 February 1981) that a journalist from the New Statesman, Duncan Campbell, told him that he had received information from an intelligence agent two years previously that Neave had planned to have Benn assassinated if there was a possibility that Benn might be elected Labour Party Leader.

The New Statesman printed the story on 20 February 1981, naming the agent as Lee Tracey.

Tracey claimed to have met Neave and was asked to join a team of intelligence and security specialists which would "make sure Benn was stopped". Tracey planned a second meeting with Neave but Neave was killed before they could meet again.[8]

Kevin Cahill, an Irish investigative journalist, claims Neave was on the verge of a massive overhaul of the security services, possibly involving a merger of MI5 and MI6 and arising from his belief in corruption in the security services.

Neave

Cahill suggests a link between Neave's murder and Sir Richard Sykes' murder and the attempted murder of Christopher Tugendhat in December 1980.

Cahill claims that Neave would have been head of the combined security services with Sykes and Tugendhat as his deputies, with Sykes responsible for foreign operations and Tugendhat responsible for home operations.

Cahill concluded that Neave was murdered by MI6 agents working with the CIA because Neave sought to prosecute senior figures in the intelligence establishment for corruption.[9]

On 18 October 1986 Enoch Powell returned to the subject of Neave's death in a speech to Conservative students in Birmingham.

He told them that INLA had not killed Neave, but that he had been assassinated by "MI6 and their friends".

Powell claimed Neave's Northern Ireland policy had been one of integration with the rest of the UK.

His murder, alleged Powell, was intended to make the British Government adopt a policy more acceptable to America in her aim of a united Ireland within NATO.[11]

nobody reminded us of the American Kay Griggs (website here) whose former husband, Colonel George Griggs, was reportedly head of NATO's Psychological Operations.

Kay Griggs reports her husband as saying that "we've never been an enemy to the Soviet Union."

Kay came to the conclusion that the US military was all about drug-running and weapons sales. - Kay Griggs Talks - Home.

The U.S. sold $50 billion dollars worth of weapons to Iraq before the first gulf war.

Libya was supplied with hundreds of Green Beret trainers and 42,000 lbs of C-4 plastic explosives prior to U.S. attacks on Libya.

The U.S financed the Kama River truck plant which produced the trucks for Russia's Afghanistan invasion and built the highways used by the Russian tanks.

The day General McArthur signed the peace treaty with Japan half the weapons stored on Okinawa were shipped to Ho Chi Minh and General Giap who met these shipments at the docks of Hai Phong harbor with Lucien Conein, the CIA case officer for Diem.

So, who are the people that cause conflicts and wars?

Sir William Wiseman, the Jewish head of British intelligence in the USA, who, during World war I, was reportedly friendly with Max Warburg, the Jewish head of German intelligence.

What were the reasons for World War One?

Some people blame Imperialism.

For example, the Austrian Empire and the Russian Empire clashed over Serbia; the British Empire, the German Empire and Turkish Empire had clashing interests in Iraq.

Some people blame Militaristic Nationalism. There were plenty of Germans and Englishmen who looked forward to a fight.

What role was played by Zionist bankers?

AGAINST ZIONISM had a post entitled LUCIFER MURDERS AN ANGEL which argues that in 1914 a cabal of Jewish bankers wanted a war in order to:

1. Destroy certain empires.

2. Build a large private banking empire.

Have Zionist Jews occupying key positions in international banks in Europe and North America.

Have the bankers use the weapon of debt to control people and nations.

3. Obtain the promise of a Jewish homeland - the Balfour Declaration.

4. Make lots of money.

THE CIA'S USE OF MILITANT MOSLEMS OVER A PERIOD OF 50 YEARS

2010-09-30T08:19:00.000-07:00

Website for this image

For more than fifty years, the CIA and its friends have been employing militant Moslems to do their dirty work.

1. Before World war II, British intelligence used the Moslem Brotherhood against Britain's German rivals in North Africa.

(The British, Muslim Terrorism and September 11)

2. Around 1955, the CIA began to co-operate with the Moslem Brotherhood.

The CIA and MI6 used the Moslem Brotherhood to weaken both Egypt and Syria.

(The British, Muslim Terrorism and September 11)

3. In the 1960s, MI6 supported Islamic guerrillas in Indonesia.

According to The Independent (UK): "Cabinet papers show that British spies, including MI6, supported Islamic guerrillas in order to destabilise Sukarno."

(The Secret State: MI5 (Home Office/MoD), The Security Service and ...)

4. Israel funded the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, in order to divide the Palestinians.

(The British, Muslim Terrorism and September 11)

5. In 1979, the CIA and MI6 used the Moslem Brotherhood to topple the Shah of Iran and install the Ayatollahs.

(The British, Muslim Terrorism and September 11)

6. In 1979 the CIA was building up and arming the militant Moslem Mujahadeen in Afghanistan.

The idea was to lure Russia into Afghanistan.

(CRG -- The CIA's Intervention in Afghanistan)

Website for this image

7. In 1991, the CIA and NATO used Al Qaeda to break up Yugoslavia.

(Global Research, 8 September 2010, Andrew Gavin Marshall: "The Anglo-American Terror Network")

Yugoslavia was a friend of Russia and was next door to a lot of oil wealth.

Moslems arrived in Bosnia from Afghanistan and other Moslem countries.

Clinton gave the 'green light' to Iran to arm the Bosnian Muslims.

Israel armed the Bosnian Serbs.

The idea was to foment conflict.

The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which took control of the Balkan heroin trafficking routes, fought the Serbs.

The KLA, which had links to bin Laden, was trained and armed by the USA.

8. The CIA and its friends employed Moslem militants to create trouble for Russia in its province of Chechnya.

("The Anglo-American Terror Network")

US intelligence helped fund and transport al-Qaeda into Chechnya in the early 1990s.

In Chechnya, the two main rebel leaders who came to power had been trained by the CIA in Afghanistan.

A war in Chechnya was planned in a secret meeting in 1996 attended by Osama bin Laden and officials of the Pakistani ISI.

In other words, the CIA was directing the war through the ISI.

US intelligence helped fund and transport al-Qaeda into Chechnya in the early 1990s.

9. In 2002, it was revealed that, “British intelligence paid large sums of money to an al-Qaeda cell in Libya in a doomed attempt to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi in 1996 and thwarted early attempts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice.”

Anas al-Liby, a Libyan al-Qaeda leader, “was given political asylum in Britain and lived in Manchester until May of 2000 when he eluded a police raid on his house and fled abroad.”

("The Anglo-American Terror Network")

10. In the 1990s, Osama bin Laden “built a shadow air force to support his terrorist activities, using Afghanistan's national airline Ariana, a surplus U.S. Air Force jet and clandestine charters.”
(Global Research, on 8 September 2010, Andrew Gavin Marshall: "The Anglo-American Terror Network")

Bin Laden’s US Air Force jet in 1992 “was used to ferry Al Qaeda commanders to East Africa, where they trained Somali tribesmen..."

And now, Algerians and Moroccans are said to be in El Qaeda training camps in Israel. (Algerians and Moroccans in El Qaida training camps in Israel )

More and more people are realising that most acts of terrorism are inside-jobs.

The fascists were not defeated in 1945.

ISRAEL WANTS IRAQ BROKEN UP

2010-08-15T08:20:00.000-07:00

Sadr City district of Baghdad, by The U.S. Army

Reportedly, Israel would like to balkanize Iraq into several countries. (false flag terrorism in Iraq ... )

On 15 August 2010, we read in The Observer (Obama's exit strategy from Iraq under threat once again):

"Throughout this most brutal of summers (where the daytime temperature in Baghdad has rarely been below 48C), Iraqis have been getting by with around four hours per day of electricity (usually too weak to run more than one air conditioner).

"Even more concerning is the creeping return of terror; almost daily assassinations, a spike in bombings and rocket fire...

"The much-vaunted 31 August combat withdrawal deadline is largely about symbolism and emotional detachment from a war that Obama reluctantly inherited.

"There will still be six US brigades and 94 bases."

In 1982, Oded Yinon, an Israeli journalist with links to the Israeli Foreign Ministry wrote an article for a publication of the World Zionist Organization in which he outlined a "strategy for Israel in the 1980s."

In this article, he stated, "The dissolution of Syria and Iraq into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon is Israel’s primary target on the Eastern front."

LIES ABOUT IRAQ AND IRAN

Iraqi victim of the American military-industrial-narco-complex.

The military-industrial-narco-complex needs wars.

Mad jingoists support the military, and believe its lies.

Carne Ross did not believe the lies.

Carne Ross was the UK diplomat in charge of the Iraq dossier at the United Nations.

He resigned from the Foreign Office over the Iraq war.

Ross has told the UK's Iraq Inquiry that the UK and US gradually exaggerated the threat Saddam posed, suppressing contrary opinion.

According to Ross: "This process of exaggeration was gradual, and proceeded by accretion and editing from document to document, in a way that allowed those participating to convince themselves that they were not engaged in blatant dishonesty.

"But this process led to highly misleading statements about the UK assessment of the Iraqi threat that were, in their totality, lies."

In the Financial Times, 22 July 2010, David Gardner writes (Iraq intelligence fiasco could happen again): "Why is all this so important?

"Because it lays bare the ways in which governments can ignore reasoned advice, embellish fragmentary evidence and manipulate public opinion over matters as great as going to war – and that this could happen again.

"There is now a ratcheting up of the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions."

VALERIE PLAME, IRAQ AND 9 11

2010-05-30T10:30:00.000-07:00

Fair Game, starring Sean Penn, is the film based on Valerie Plame's memoir, Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House.

Naomi Watts is Plame; Sean Penn is Plame's husband, Joseph C. Wilson.

In 2003, Bush announced that he had seen British intelligence proving that Iraqis had been in Africa buying yellow cake uranium.

Congress agreed to go to war in Iraq.

Jo Wilson knew the yellow cake uranium story was a lie and told this to the New York Times.

Karl Rove and Dick Cheney "turned the entire weight and ammunition of government ... against the man's family.

"They punished Joe Wilson’s outcry by 'outing' his wife, Valerie Plame, who had spent years working undercover as a highly trained CIA agent...

"At one point (Plame) found that the screws that held together the decking attached to her house - decking that was 10ft off the ground and a place where her small twins played - had been unscrewed."

In 2010, the killing continues in Iraq.

"The US may well be rethinking its withdrawal plans, and particularly its withdrawal of all combat troops at the end of August." (Turmoil in Iraq threatens US withdrawal plans‎)

On 3 May 2010, in the Guardian, John Kampfner reminds the people of the UK that "We remember Iraq in this election."‎

"In 2005 around one million voters deserted Labour as a result of Iraq...

"It is the issue that defined the Blair premiership, the issue that reinforced the intense public animosity towards the mainstream political process."

In the UK, the three biggest political parties support the war in Afghanistan, which is why they do not have our support.

The Scottish National Party is one of the parties that has opposed the wars in Yugoslavia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The deaths continue in the USA.

Bill Van Auken reports on the Hidden Toll of the US Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.‎:

"An average of 18 US military veterans are taking their lives every day as the Obama administration and the Pentagon grow increasingly defensive about the epidemic of suicides driven by Washington’s wars of aggression.

"The stunning figure was reported last week by the Army Times, citing officials in the US Veterans Affairs Department.

"The department estimates that there are 950 suicide attempts every month by veterans who are receiving treatment from the department."

ELECTION RIGGED IN FAVOUR OF ALLAWI?

2010-03-29T11:22:00.000-07:00

Allawi

In the March 2010 election in Iraq, Iyad (Ayad) Allawi's Iraqi National Movement reportedly got slightly more votes than Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's party. (Can Dr Iyad Allawi heal Iraq's wounds?)

Looks like it was rigged.

The US and UK want Iyad (Ayad) Allawi as leader of Iraq.

Allawi once worked closely with Saddam Hussein.

He is a former Ba'athist.

He helped found the political party called the Iraqi National Accord (INA).

In the lead up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq the INA provided intelligence about alleged weapons of mass destruction to MI6. (Ayad (Iyad) Allawi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Allawi Helped CIA Sabotage Iraq: Report

Exiled Allawi was responsible for 45-minute WMD claim

Allawi's group also gave MI6 a letter purporting to show that Sept. 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta received training in Iraq from now-dead terrorist Abu Nidal in 2001.

Some have regarded him as an MI6-CIA puppet. (:: www.uruknet.info. )

Allawai was prime minister of Iraq in 2004.

Allawi allowed US troops to launch the large offensives in Najaf and Fallujah.

Allawi shot prisoners in cold blood, according to witnesses

"Allawi's tenure was marked by corruption, a feckless approach to basic services, and a widespread perception of thuggishness.

"In one particularly intense episode, he's said to have personally (and summarily) executed six suspected insurgents at a Baghdad police station.

"Perhaps most importantly, his support for the devastating military incursions into Fallujah and Najaf in 2004 earned him the hatred of both Shia and Sunni Iraqis." (ezraklein.typepad.com/.../allowing-for-al.html)

Each and every year, the Iraqi town of Fallujah has been having around 1,000 cases of birth defects.

That's one thousand per year, in a medium sized town.

(BBC News - Birth defects 'have risen since US Falluja operation')

The birth defects include a baby born with two heads and babies with multiple tumours. (Huge rise in birth defects in Falluja Guardian)

"Every doctor, and every parent I spoke to there, believed the problem was the highly sophisticated weapons the US troops used against Falluja six years ago." (Birth defects 'have risen since US Falluja operation')

The USA and its allies committed genocide amongst the children of Iraq. (Violations of Iraqi Children Rights Under the American Occupation )

One American atrocity against Iraqi children was the bombing of the Ameriyah Shelter in Baghdad on February 13, 1991 using the "Bunker Bombs". This resulted in the incineration of more than 300 children.

The USA was involved in the direct killing and abuse of children when American troop raided civilian areas in Fallujah, Haditha, Mahmodia, Telafer, Anbar, Mosul, and other Iraqi cities.

The Americans, in prisons like Abu Graib, raped, and tortured children.

The historian Andrew Roberts is quite right when he states in the Financial Times on 3 March 2010 that Israel is no more rogue than America

"Two articles in this newspaper last week, by Henry Siegman and David Gardner, have been violently critical of Israel...

"Mr Siegman wrote of how “Israel’s colonial ambitions” and “checkpoints, barbed wire and separation walls” were “turning Israel from a democracy into an apartheid state”, thereby creating a “looming global threat to the country’s legitimacy”.

"Two days later Mr Gardner wrote of how Israel’s “militarist extroversion” over the Dubai murder demonstrated an “Israeli preference for instantly satisfying executive solutions to complex political and geopolitical problems” which would “widen the international battle-space for tit-for-tat attacks” and “encourage the perception that [Israel] is a rogue state”."

OBAMA TO BOMB IRAN TO SAVE HIS PRESIDENCY?

Iranians, by Abtin (commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Qazvin-boys-fruits.jpg)

On 3 February 2010, Seumas Milne, in the Guardian, reported that The lessons of Iraq have been ignored. The target is now Iran

According to Seumas Milne:

1. The US is escalating the military build-up in the Gulf.

2. Ahmadinejad has renewed Iran's earlier agreement to ship most of its enriched uranium abroad to be reprocessed. But, the US is dismissive.

The UN nuclear agency, the IAEA, has not found any evidence that Iran is trying to acquire nuclear weapons.

3. As was the case with Iraq, "we are told that a dictatorial Middle Eastern state is secretly developing weapons of mass destruction, defying UN resolutions, obstructing inspections, threatening its neighbours and supporting terrorism."

4. As with Iraq, "no evidence has been produced to back up the WMD claims."

And "bogus leaks about secret programmes are regularly reproduced in the mainstream press."

A former CIA official reported that "US intelligence believed documents, published in the Times, purporting to show Iran planning to experiment on a 'neutron initiator' for an atomic weapon, had been forged."

5. Tony Blair "was allowed to turn what was supposed to be a grilling into a platform for war against Iran."

6. 37% of the British people now believe Blair should be put on trial for war crimes.

But Blair remains the Middle East envoy of the Quartet "even as he pockets £1m a year from a UAE investment fund currently negotiating a slice of the profits from the exploitation of Iraqi oil reserves."

7. Daniel Pipes recently wrote that the only way for Obama to save his presidency was to "bomb Iran".

PRINCE WILLIAM'S JEWISH MENTOR, WHO HAS LINKS TO THE IRAQ WAR

2010-01-18T12:43:00.000-08:00

As Sir David Manning flew over Staten Island, he saw smoke coming from the World Trade Center. (New Statesman - NS Profile - David Manning)

Sir David Manning is Jewish and is linked to 9 11 and the Iraq war.

He appears to be an éminence grise behind the British royal family.

Manning, at the suggestion of the Queen, has been appointed senior adviser to Prince William at the start of his first foreign tour, of New Zealand and Australia.

"Sir David meets the Princes from time to time.

"He also meets the Royal household more frequently.

"Sir David has a desk, if he needs it, at St James's Palace, but he is always on the end of the phone if his expertise is required." (The Queen insists on a 'wise man' for Prince William at start of first tour )

From left to right: Bertie Ahem (prime minister of Ireland), Sir David Manning (British ambassador to the USA), Paul Murphy (British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland), George W. Bush and Ambassador Mitchell Reiss

Who are the people who secretly run the governments of so-called democracies such as the USA and UK?

One of these people is Sir David Manning.

1. Sir David Manning, who is Jewish, was in Washington meeting Richard Armitage around the time of 9 11. (US State Department, September 10, 2001).

Some conspiracy theorists might speculate that Manning was one of the planners of 9 11.

Manning was UK ambassador to Israel between 1995 and 1998, foreign policy adviser to Blair from 2001 to 2003 and UK ambassador to the USA from 2003 to 2007.

2. Manning helped plan the Iraq War, and memos have revealed how he knew Blair had promised to go to war with Bush a year before the conflict. (Tony Blair's Iraq adviser Mail Online)

3. Manning is one of the people who wanted the Bank of Scotland to be taken over by an English bank.

Sir David Manning is on the board of Lloyds TSB.

4. On 16 November 2008, we learnt that Manning, won a £50000 U.S. defence job (Mail Online)

Manning has been given a senior post with U.S.-owned arms company Lockheed.

Lockheed earns large sums from the Ministry of Defence.

5. Manning has joined a shadowy UK intelligence firm set up by former spies.

Manning is on the advisory board of Hakluyt, a private intelligence firm partly staffed by former MI6 officers. (Hakluyt set up by former MI6 agents spied on campaign groups for ...)

Hakluyt was set up by former MI6 agents in 1995.

The firm once spied on environmental campaign groups such as Greenpeace on behalf of oil companies.

Frances Shand Kydd and Diana (www.dailymail.co.uk/.)

Lady Diana's mother was Frances Shand Kydd, who was born Frances Ruth Roche.

Reportedly, Frances had Jewish origins. (Davidic Ancestry of Prince William.)

Lady Diana's father may have been Jewish.

William, may have Jewish origins.

Mostaque Ali drew our attention to gossip about Lady Diana and Prince William.

On 7 September 2007, the Independent (Ireland) produced an article entitled: A Murky Question, by Declan Lynch

(The Mail also covered the story. Were Diana and Jemima sisters? Mail Online)

Acording to Declan Lynch:

Princess Diana's father was Sir James Goldsmith.

Sir James was the son of Frank Goldsmith, the descendant of a Jewish banking family from Frankfurt.

Sir James Goldsmith who has links to the Rothschilds (Cached). He multiplied his fortune as a brash corporate raider in the United States during the 1980s (Billionaire with a Cause vanityfair.com ) "He inherited many of his traits from his father Frank Goldsmith, the descendant of a distinguished Jewish banking family from Frankfurt once as famous as the Rothschilds." (Obituary: Sir James Goldsmith - People, News - The Independent)

According to Declan Lynch:

The "Goldsmith" version "had been circulating in aristocratic circles for a long time."

Officially, Diana was the daughter of the Earl Spencer and Frances Shand Kydd.

Sources have long maintained that Goldsmith was conducting an affair with Frances around the time that Diana was conceived.

Nobody denies that the affair took place, "at a time when Frances was deeply unhappy in her marriage to the Earl, who was 'drinking heavily' and 'being beastly towards her'".

Tina Brown, author of The Diana Chronicle, suggests it was a long-running affair.

In Brown's version, there is strong support for the idea of Goldsmith being the father of Lady Diana, though she can't prove it.

Zak Goldsmith, son of Sir James Goldsmith.

Diana has a physical resemblance to Sir James' children, Jemima Khan (nee Goldsmith), Diana's best friend, and Zak Goldsmith.

Ben Goldsmith

Benjamin Goldsmith (born in 1980) married Kate Emma Rothschild (b. 1982), daughter of the late Amschel Rothschild

Diana was like her father in looks, "but also in her charisma, her sexual appetites, her madness, and her propensity for causing trouble."

VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS HELP THE CIA CREATE TERROR AND WAR

2009-12-25T03:44:00.000-08:00

The military industrial complex needs continual wars.

Reportedly, the CIA uses its agents within the governments of various countries to carry out acts of terrorism, so as to keep the wars going.

The CIA assets are found within the security services of the UK, India, Indonesia, Spain, Pakistan, Australia and so on.

On 24 December 2009, Peter Chamberlin, in an article entitled 'Committing Treason for a Piece of the Pie', points out the following:

1. The US military "consistently refused to contain the forces they fought against ... and they always stopped fighting just short of victory...

"Continuing the Iraq and Afghan wars was more important than winning or ending them..."

2. "It is imperative that the still free citizens of the world understand that their own leaders consider the continuation of America’s wars more important than anything else in the world right now.

"Every leader on the world stage has a financial stake in our war...

"Nothing less can explain how all of them could sell-out their own people for the opportunity to sign deals with the United States, or worse, how they all cover up crimes committed by American agencies."

3. India "has more to gain from partnering with the United States than any other compromised nation...

"Beyond the scientific and economic partnership is the US/India military partnership.

"This extends ... to the secret covert level."

www.takeoverworld.info/false-flag.html

4. The Pakistan intelligence service helps the CIA create terror in Pakistan.

The Indian intelligence service helps create terror in India.

"If it is proven that the CIA has been running ops against the Indian government, then it is probable that Indians are part of the plan...

5. Will prosecuting David Headley for the Mumbai attack "implicate Indian players, possibly drawing-in RAW and the military?

"It is difficult to see how India can pursue real leads in their Mumbai investigation (other than their usual anti-Pakistani propaganda) without exposing their own responsibility in that false flag attack upon mostly Indian citizens."

6. "A central element of the Mumbai attack was the elimination of Hemant Karkare, chief of the Mumbai Anti-Terrorist Squad and his associates, in order to cover-up the Indian hand in previous false-flag attacks against Muslims within India."

7. In the case of Headley, "Pakistani assets are developed to be used in a 'false flag' attack upon India by a consortium of agencies, which included Indian assets, intended to implicate Pakistan.

"In Pakistan, you have the same set-up with the TTP, the Pakistani Taliban, where Pakistanis are helping Indians and Americans by hurting other Pakistanis."

8. "The destabilizing mission planned for the sub-continent and all of Central Asia required active collaborators in every targeted state, to stage the attacks and battles required to incite war hysteria and to agitate for the revenge attacks that are necessary to fuel the war cycle against the 'Islamist' perpetrators of the terror attacks."

9. "By seducing India with economic incentives and promises of thermonuclear technology needed to overcome deficiencies in its arsenal, the United States has acquired a new economic lifeline, as well as the means to proceed with its own nuclear tests (through India), thereby ducking the political heat for the apparent hypocrisy of conducting nuclear tests while trying to eliminate nuclear arms.

"India is to serve as an American anchor, to help hold the subcontinent, while land is pacified ahead of the pipeline construction crews."

10. Indian reporters are now "suggesting the unthinkable"—that Headley is a US agent.

WAR IS A RACKET

Iraq Bombs

2009-12-08T23:34:00.000-08:00

Who is behind the December 2009 bombings in Iraq?

"The bombers went after the central institutions of civilized and communal life: a college, a courthouse, a market, a mosque, a residential neighborhood not far from the Interior Ministry.

"That last is a clue about the bombers: the ministry is controlled by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki at one level, and by former Shiite militiamen at another.

"The ministry is the enforcer of Shiite hegemony in Iraq." (Tigris Terror Surge: The Message Behind Baghdad Bombings )

In 2005, "Iraqis apprehend two Americans disguised as Arabs trying to detonate a car bomb in a residential neighborhood of western Baghdad's al-Ghazaliyah district...

"A number of Iraqis apprehended two Americans disguised in Arab dress as they tried to blow up a booby-trapped car in the middle of a residential area in western Baghdad on Tuesday.

"Residents of western Baghdad's al-Ghazaliyah district told Quds Press that the people had apprehended the Americans as they left their Caprice car near a residential neighborhood in al-Ghazaliyah on Tuesday afternoon (11 October 2005). Local people found they looked suspicious so they detained the men before they could get away. That was when they discovered that they were Americans and called the Iraqi puppet police."

SECRET PAPERS REVEAL IRAQ BLUNDERS AND LIES

2009-11-22T04:15:00.000-08:00

The Sunday Telegraph (UK) claims to have obtained hundreds of pages of secret Government reports on the lessons learnt from the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

On 22 November 2009, Andrew Gilligan, in The Sunday Telegraph, (Secret papers reveal blunders and concealment) reveals:

1. British military planning for Iraq regime change began in February 2002.

Throughout 2002 Tony Blair stated that Britain's aim was "disarmament, not regime change."

On July 16 2002, Blair was asked: "Are we then preparing for possible military action in Iraq?"

He replied: "No."

According to the leaked documents, "formation-level planning for a (British) deployment (to Iraq) took place from February 2002".

Maj Gen Graeme Lamb, the director of special forces during the Iraq war, is quoted as saying: "I had been working the war up since early 2002."

2. Blair concealed the invasion plan from Parliament and all but "very small numbers" of officials.

This "constrained" the planning of the invasion.

3. The invasion operation was "rushed" and "lacking in coherence and resources."

This caused "significant risk" to troops and "critical failure" in the post-war period.

Some soldiers went into battle with only five bullets each.

Some had to get to the war on civilian airlines, taking their equipment as hand luggage.

Some soldiers had their weapons confiscated by airport security.

Former BBC chief Greg Dyke accused the UK Government of "trying to kill" Andrew Gilligan, the journalist who, with the help of Dr David Kelly, revealed the truth about the dodgy dossier on Iraq. (Richard Sambrook.)

RAPE AND TORTURE BY UK TROOPS IN IRAQ?

The Independent: Did UK collude with US in abuse of Iraqis?

In 2007, Nassir Ghulaim, a young Iraqi, was playing football with friends.

British soldiers took them to a British base.

"The soldiers then made us squeeze together in a pile, while a soldier stood on top of us and shouted and laughed."

Ghulaim says the soldiers forced a younger Iraqi to strip naked and started playing with his penis and taking photographs.

Ghulaim says "used an electric baton on various parts of my body."

After three days of detention, Ghulaim was freed without charge.

Hussain Hashim Khinyab, arrested in April 2006, claims that he was tortured at a British camp and sexually abused by female personnel.

In 2003, a 16-year-old Iraqi was among a group of Iraqis taken to the Shatt-al-Arab British camp to help fill sandbags. The 16-year old says he was raped by two British soldiers.

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Mr Adolf Hitler.

The Nobel company has been involved in controversial arms deals to countries such as India and Iran. (Nobel Industries AB -- Company History)

Norway's Mr Vidkun Quisling said that Herr Hitler is "just as good a man as Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Kissinger, who did so much for the bomb manufacturers."

(Nearly 4 million tons of bombs were dropped on Southeast Asia while Kissinger was helping to run the Vietnam war.)

Alfred Nobel, known as "the merchant of death", because he was an arms manufacturer and the inventor of dynamite.

Among the crowd in Kabul, there was widespread cynicism at the news of Her Hitler's Nobel peace prize.

"I don't know how he can get this prize," said Naji. "Maybe it's been awarded for all the bombing."

In Jerusalem, a Christian Palestinian said of Hitler: "He doesn't deserve it. He's not with us. He says he supports us, but nothing has changed."

Meanwhile, Britain's Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Atkinson, has spoken about Hitler's invasion of Poland.

"In a world as complicated as ours has become," said the archbishop, "it would be a very rash person who would feel able to say without hesitation, this was absolutely the right or the wrong thing to do, the right or the wrong place to be."

An Iraqi teenager called Samir worked for the British army.

He accidentally opened the door of a room where two male soldiers were having gay sex.

(British soldiers accused of raping Iraqi man)

Reportedly, Samir was pulled into the room by the British soldiers and repeatedly raped.

According to Samir:

"The man who had punched me was stronger than me, he grabbed me by the neck and kicked my legs from under me and I fell to the floor.

"I fell on my back.

"He took out a knife and held it against my neck … I was terrified that they were going to kill me at this point.

"The other soldier started to rip my trousers down … I started screaming.

"He then pulled my underwear down.

"All this time the other man was holding me down and putting the knife against my throat.

"They then flipped me on to my stomach."

Samir says both soldiers took it in turn to rape him.

They then slashed him with the knife.

The Sunday Herald has a piece on the abuse of children in Iraq:

From Iraq's Child Prisoners:

Kasim Mehaddi Hilas says he witnessed the rape of a boy prisoner aged about 15 in the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

"The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with sheets," he said in a statement given to investigators probing prisoner abuse in Abu Ghraib.

"Then, when I heard the screaming I climbed the door … and I saw [the soldier’s name is deleted] who was wearing a military uniform."

Hilas describes in horrific detail how the soldier raped "the little kid".

THE WAR PROFITEERS

2009-08-20T10:03:00.000-07:00

Reportedly, Rockefeller's Standard Oil provided oil for Hitler's U boats. (MySpace)

The Vietnam war was very bad news for the ordinary folks of Texas or Saigon, but it was wonderful news for certain big American corporations.

Now wars mean very good business for private military companies.

That sector is now worth up to $120bn annually with operations in at least 50 countries. (Making a killing: how private armies became a $120bn global ...)

On 11 August 2009, former Canadian diplomat Profesor Peter Dale Scott, at Global Research, wrote The Real Grand Chessboard and the Profiteers of War

Among the points made:

1. Certain countries expand their empires and develop "secretive corporations and agencies".

Eventually such countries may weaken through "needless and crushing wars."

Such wars brought down Spain, Holland and the UK.

The USA is next.

2. A country trying to dominate the world may look mad.

But wars make money for certain people.

"What looks demented from a public viewpoint makes sense from the narrower perspective of those profiting from the provision of private entrepreneurial violence and intelligence."

3. In 1919 Sir Halford Mackinder stated:

"Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the heartland commands the World Island; Who rules the World Island commands the World."

Napoleon and Hitler discovered that this kind of thinking does not work.

4. Henry Kissinger did not speak of dominance but of "equilibrium".

This is the Kissinger who saw America defeated by Vietnam.

Brzezinski

5. Now we have Zbigniew Brzezinski, who speaks of global dominance.

Brzezinski built up the Moslem militants in Afghanistan so as to lure in the Russians, and thus weaken the Soviet Empire.

When he was asked whether Islamic fundamentalism represented a world menace, Brzezinski replied, "Nonsense!"

6. Brzezinski reportedly seeks to control the Eurasian heartland.

"For America, the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia... Now a non-Eurasian power is preeminent in Eurasia - and America's global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is sustained." (p.30 of Brzezinski's 1997 book The Grand Chessboard)

According to Brzezinski, "the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy" are:

A. To prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals or underlings.

B. To keep tributaries or smaller countries pliant and protected.

C. To keep the barbarians from coming together. (p.40 The Grand Chessboard)

Private army

7. The 1992 draft DPG (Defense Planning Guidance), prepared for Defense Secretary Cheney by neocons Paul Wolfowitz and Lewis "Scooter" Libby, stated:

"We must maintain the mechanisms for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role."

According to Joint Chiefs of Staff strategic document Joint Vision 2020, "Full-spectrum dominance means the ability of U.S. forces, operating alone or with allies, to defeat any adversary and control any situation across the range of military operations."

This is arguably insane.

It is however useful to the corporations who make money from oil and wars.

8. Brzezinski is wrong.

"Vassals" are human being, not chess pieces.

The idea of a single chess player in control is wrong.

In Central Asia, the US, Russia, China and the local states are all weak.

Here, corporations like BP and Exxon are more important than local states and US forces.

Here, "agitated Muslims" and drugs barons are important.

Whatever happened to the Empires of Britain and Holland?

9. Brzezinski’s goal is "to exert permanent restraints on the power of China and above all Russia."

He has sensibly opposed destabilizing moves like a western strike on Iran.

However, Brzezinski promotes a policy that suits the oil industry and its backers, including the Rockefellers, who first launched him into national prominence.

10. In March 2001 the biggest oil corporations were secretly involved with Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force.

The Task Force developed a map of Iraq’s oil fields.

In February 2001, a Bush National Security Council document had noted that Cheney’s Task force would consider "actions regarding the capture of new and existing oil and gas fields."

Earlier the oil companies had taken part in a non-government task force calling for "an immediate policy review toward Iraq including military, energy, economic and political/diplomatic assessments."

11. After 9/11, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Douglas Feith set up the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans (OSP) which became President Bush’s main source of intelligence regarding Iraq’s possible possession of weapons of mass destruction and connection with Al Qaeda.

Feith, and others, had links to Israel, which wanted US armies to become established militarily in Central Asia.

Big corporations do well from wars.

12. According to counterterrorism expert, retired U.S. Army colonel Andrew Bacevich: "invading and occupying other countries ...is ...going to bankrupt the country and break the military."

Donald Rumsfeld increased the use of Private Military Contractors (PMCs) in the Iraq War.

Diligence "set up shop in Baghdad [in July 2003] to provide security for companies involved in Iraqi."

It is virtually a CIA spin-off.

Mike Baker, its chief executive officer, spent 14 years at the CIA.

Whitley Bruner, its chief operating officer in Baghdad, was once the CIA station chief in Iraq.

Its partner in Diligence Middle East (DME) is New Bridge Strategies, "a consulting firm to advise companies that want to do business in Iraq."

New Bridge has top Republicans on its board.

The Financial Times linked the success of New Bridge to its relationship with Neil Bush.

13. Another Private Intelligence Contractor or PIC is Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC).

SAIC is "the invisible hand behind a huge portion of the national-security state."

SAIC represents "a private business that has become a form of permanent government".

SAIC epitomizes the "military-industrial-counterterrorism complex."

SAIC is "not a unified bureaucracy, but more like a platform for individual entrepreneurship in obtaining contracts".

Robert Gates was a member of SAIC's board of directors.

SAIC personnel have been recruited from the CIA, NSA, and DARPA, among them John M. Deutch, C.I.A. director under President Bill Clinton.

SAIC "helped supply the faulty intelligence about Saddam’s WMD" that then got lots of contracts in Iraq.

9/11 served the interests of private intellience and military contractors including SAIC.

Private firms now not only provide, but also analyse intelligence.

Overseas associates of Diligence LLC and its allies have been accused of false-flag operations intended to provoke war.

The Patriot Act provides a new area of profit for SAIC contractors - domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens.

14. Donald Rumsfeld created CIFA in 2002.

The Counterintelligence Field Activity office was used against people suspected of opposing the Bush administration.

Blackwater is facing new claims of child murder and child prostitution in Iraq, according to the legal team for certain Iraqi families.

Allegedly, young Iraqi girls have been taken to the Blackwater compound in Baghdad, to provide oral sex to people working for Blackwater.

Lawsuit now accuses Xe contractors of murder, kidnapping

The US State Department employs Blackwater, which is a private military company, now called Xe.

Blackwater has CIA connections.

For example, Cofer Black, the company's current vice chairman, was director of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center (CTC) at the time of the 9 11 attacks in 2001.

Blackwater was founded by Erik Prince.

Allegedly, Erik Prince's companies have taken part in homicides, tax evasion, weapons smuggling, kidnapping and child prostitution.

A 9 year-old boy is said to be among those allegedly murdered in Iraq by people working for Blackwater.

Blackwater founder Erik Prince is alleged to be involved in kidnapping and child prostitution.

The child prostitution charge involves young Iraqi girls allegedly being brought to the Blackwater compound in Baghdad, to provide oral sex to contractors for $1.

IRAQ WAR LIES

2009-06-22T12:08:00.000-07:00

Elements of the US military-industrial complex wanted the war in Iraq.

Israel wanted the war in Iraq.

And, "AIPAC, a de facto agent for a foreign government, has a stranglehold on Congress."

(John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt in the London Review of Books)

And, it looks like it was a MAINLY JEWISH CABAL that was involved in the events in the UK leading up to the Iraq war.

"A five-page document, written by Blair's foreign policy adviser, Sir David Manning, and copied to Sir Jeremy Greenstock, the UK ambassador to the UN, Jonathan Powell, Blair's chief of staff, the chief of the defence staff, Admiral Lord Boyce, and the UK's ambassador to Washington, Sir Christopher Meyer, outlines how Bush told Blair he had decided on a start date for the war." - Memo reveals US plan to provoke invasion

We assume Manning, Greenstock and Meyer are of Jewish origin.

To get the war started, there had to be a false flag act of terrorism.

"Mr Bush told Mr Blair the U.S. had hatched an extraordinary plan to fly aircraft painted in UN colours over Iraq in the hope that Saddam would shoot them down."

(So what role did Alastair Campbell have to play. / What Bush Told Blair Could End the Wars / Iraq, and Bush's Bizarre Fake UN Spy Plane Plot Back In The News)

And did Bush and Blair and their Jewish pals plan 9 11, so there would be an excuse to invade Iraq and Afghanistan?

Iraq now worse than under Saddam

2009-06-01T11:18:00.000-07:00

Some of Saddam's former opponents believe that Iraq is now worse than it was under Saddam.

A former political exile, recently returned to Iraq, said (Corruption reigns ):

"Under Saddam things were bad, but now they are worse.

"I was astonished by the levels of corruption.

"And what frightens me most is the effect this will have on the security situation.

"Millions of dollars are being stolen, and some of this money is going to terrorist groups."

Reportedly, Obama lied.

US troops will remain in Iraq.

According to Chris Floyd:

"The (withdrawal) plan clearly envisions a substantial and essentially permanent American military presence in Iraq, dominating the politics and policy of this key oil nation – which was of course one of the chief war aims of the military aggressors in the Bush Administration all along."

- Orwell in Babylon: Obama's War-Continuing "Withdrawal" Plan Written by Chris Floyd

Chris Floyd tells us more (Obama's Non-Withdrawal Withdrawal Plan):

From the New York Times:

"Even with the withdrawal order, Mr. Obama plans to leave behind a “residual force” of tens of thousands of troops to continue training Iraqi security forces, hunt down foreign terrorist cells and guard American institutions..."

And a "senior military officer" dispatched to pipe the spin to the Los Angeles Times added another potential role for the remaining American troops: fighting Iraq's war for it. He was also refreshingly frank on the plan's ultimate intentions:

"The senior officer said the troops also could help protect Iraq from outside attack, something the Iraqis cannot yet do.

"'When President Obama said we were going to get out within 16 months, some people heard, 'get out,' and everyone's gone. But that is not going to happen,' the officer said."

Dutch to investigate support for iraq invasion.

On 2 February 2009, Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende announced that a committee will be set up to investigate the decision making process which led to the Dutch government's support for the invasion of Iraq by the United States and Britain in 2003.

(Dutch to investigate own support for Iraq invasion)

The leader of the Center-left D66 party, Alexander Pechtold, said the committee inquiry would not be independent because the lower house of parliament cannot check the documents the committee gets to see. The D66 and the Green Left Party will continue to call for a parliamentary inquiry.

The prime minister's announcement followed a string of revelations in January 2009 by the Dutch media, which embarrassed the government.

1. According to documents obtained by Dutch media, in 2003 the Dutch government, under Balkenende, had planned to give military support to the invasion of Iraq.

The Dutch government had previously insisted that it had never planned to give military support.

The Dutch government did not send troops but gave political support to the Iraq invasion, which was not authorized by the United Nations.

2. It was also revealed that the lawyers of the Dutch Foreign Ministry had warned in 2003 that there was no proper legal basis for the Dutch government's political support for the invasion of Iraq.

The 'good effects' of bombing a village market in Afghanistan

For very many years, the Americans and Europeans have been committing atrocities which could be described as 'Nazi-style', or 'Israeli-style'.

From The Guardian 16 December 2008:

"The first bomb hit a large group of children who had run on ahead of the main procession.

"It killed most of them instantly.

"A few minutes later, the plane returned and dropped another bomb, right in the centre of the group.

"This time the victims were almost all women...

"I was still holding my grandson's hand but the rest of him was gone..."

('I was still holding my grandson's hand - the rest was gone')

This happened in an area called Kamala in Afghanistan.

In Afghanistan, around 750 civilians have died in Nato and US air strikes this year.

The number of innocent people killed this way has almost doubled from last year, and tripled from the year before that.

The British started it.

Ninety-three years of bombing the Arabs

In 1911, the Italians bombed Libyan civilians from the air.

In 1912 the French began bombing Moroccan civilians from the air.

In 1913 the Spanish began bombing Moroccan villagers from the air.

They later used poison gas.

In 1915 the British began the aerial bombardment of Pathan villages on India’s North-West Frontier.

In 1919 the British bombed Afghan civilians from the air.

The British aerial bombardment of Dacca killed 600.

Over 90 years of terrorist activity by western countries.

Killing kids.

The world's first air bombardment took place on 1 November 1911, when an Italian pilot named Giulio Gavotti dropped four hand grenades on Turkish troops camped in Libya.

(Axis of Evel Knievel: November 1)

Italy stole Libya from the Turkish Ottoman Empire in order to make it a colony.

For twenty years, the Libyans fought the Italians, in the hope of gaining their freedom.

In 1912, French pilots dropped bombs in Morocco.

In 1913, Serbs in French-built planes bombed Turkish forces during the First Balkan War.

In 2005, in Iraq, US Marines reportedly massacred two dozen civilians in the town of Haditha.

Among the dead were six children under the age of fourteen as well as an elderly man shot to death in his wheelchair.

Nine-year-old Eman Waleed, who lived in the first house attacked by the US, described the events to Time magazine:

First, they went into my father's room, where he was reading the Koran and we heard shots. . . .

I couldn't see (the Marines') faces very well—only their guns sticking into the doorway.

I watched them shoot my grandfather, first in the chest and then in the head. Then they killed my granny.. . .

THE PENTAGON STRANGLES AMERICA

2008-09-29T10:46:00.000-07:00

Chalmers Johnson, at Asia Times, 30 September 2008 writes about US military spending (We have the money)

"On Wednesday, September 24, right in the middle of the fight over billions of taxpayer dollars slated to bail out Wall Street, the House of Representatives passed a $612 billion defense authorization bill for 2009 without a murmur of public protest or any meaningful press comment at all...

"One of America's greatest authorities on the defense budget, Winslow Wheeler, worked for 31 years for Republican members of the senate and for the General Accounting Office on military expenditures. His conclusion, when it comes to the fiscal sanity of our military spending, is devastating:

"America's defense budget is now larger in inflation-adjusted dollars than at any point since the end of World War II, and yet our army has fewer combat brigades than at any point in that period; our navy has fewer combat ships; and the air force has fewer combat aircraft. Our major equipment inventories for these major forces are older on average than any point since 1946 - or in some cases, in our entire history.

"This in itself is a national disgrace. Spending hundreds of billions of dollars on present and future wars that have nothing to do with our national security is simply obscene. And yet Congress has been corrupted by the military-industrial complex into believing that, by voting for more defense spending, they are supplying "jobs" for the economy.

"In fact, they are only diverting scarce resources from the desperately needed rebuilding of the American infrastructure and other crucial spending necessities into utterly wasteful munitions. If we cannot cut back our longstanding, ever-increasing military spending in a major way, then the bankruptcy of the United States is inevitable."

What did the people of the USA or Asia gain from the Vietnam War?

In Le Monde, 26 April 2008, Chalmers Johnson wrote: The Pentagon Strangles Our Economy: Why the U.S. Has Gone Broke

Among the points made by Johnson:

1. Bush's Pentagon failed to think about how it was going to finance its imperialist wars, just as Enron failed to think how it was going to finance its schemes.

2. In 2008, the United States is having a problem finding to money to maintain its 'high' living standards and its large military.

3. The Bush government puts off these costs for future generations to deal with.

In the 1930s, many top Americans were fans of the Nazis.

4. In the year 2008, the US is spending 'insane' amounts of money on 'defense' projects that 'bear no relation to the national security of the U.S'.

5. The US is keeping income tax very low for the very rich.

6. The US is losing factories and jobs to foreign countries. The US is unwisely trying to compensate for this by spending more on the miliary.

7. The US is failing to invest in 'social' infrastructure, such as education, health pollution control and the provision of manufacturing jobs.

8. The US military budget for 2008 is larger than all other nations' military budgets combined.

Destruction in Vietnam

9. The supplementary budget to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is larger than the combined military budgets of Russia and China.

10. Defense-related spending for 2008 will exceed $1 trillion.

11. Defense spending has more than doubled since the mid-1990s.

12. Some 30-40% of the defense budget is 'black,' involving hidden expenditures for classified projects.

Vietnam War civilians

13. Members of Congress profit from defense spending and pork-barrel projects in their areas.

14. $23.4bn of Department of Energy money goes on developing and maintaining nuclear warheads.

$25.3bn in the Department of State budget is spent on foreign military assistance (primarily for Israel).

The Department of Veterans Affairs gets at least $75.7bn.

Neglected Americans

$46.4bn goes to the Department of Homeland Security.

$38.5bn from the Department of the Treasury goes to the Military Retirement Fund.

$7.6bn goes to the military-related activities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

There is well over $200bn in interest for past debt-financed defense spending.

This brings U.S. spending for the military to at least $1.1 trillion.

Certain US generals reportedly have always been fans of fascism.

15. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury declared that the national debt was over $9 trillion.

In 1981, the national debt was $1 trillion.

16. The US goes in for military Keynesianism: a permanent war economy.

"By 1990 the value of the weapons, equipment and factories devoted to the Department of Defense was 83% of the value of all plants and equipment in U.S. manufacturing".

17. In 2007, the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington released a study on the long-term economic result of increased military spending. This study showed that after 6 years the effect of increased military spending turns negative. The study concluded: "most economic models show that military spending diverts resources from productive uses, such as consumption and investment, and ultimately slows economic growth and reduces employment."

The historian Thomas E Woods Jr. noted that, during the 1950s and 1960s, between one-third and two-thirds of all U.S. research talent went into the military sector.

18. The US has seen a decline in its manufacturing industry and its basic infrastructure.

Azzaman, on 3 September 2008, at http://www.uruknet.info/ writes that Iraq is said not to be in favour of U.S. firms developing its oil fields

According to Azzaman:

1. Sources at the Iraqi oil ministry say that Iran is pressuring Iraqi authorities to exclude U.S. oil majors from contracts to develop the country’s massive oil fields.

2. The sources at the oil ministry say the authorities currently favour Chinese and Russian companies rather than those of the United States.

3. In August 2008, the oil ministry signed a $3bn services contract with China’s state-owned oil firm CNPC. This relates to the Ahdad oilfield which CNPC originally agreed to develop in 1977.

China is the first country to win such a contract since the 2003 U.S. invasion of the country.

Ezekial's-Tomb-at-Kifel.jpg‎

4. In 1977 Russia signed a deal to develop one of Iraq’s largest fields, West of Qurna.

5. The Ministry of Oil and other key portfolios such the Ministry of Interior and Finance are in the hands of pro-Iran Shiite factions.

Analysts say it is difficult today for any major development, whether economic or political, to take place in Iraq without Iranian consent.

6. Iran has emerged as the country’s top trading partner. Its firms are present in the Kurdish north and southern Iraq carrying out projects worth billions of dollars.

Iranian goods are the most conspicuous merchandise in Iraqi shops.

7. Iraq, though occupied and administered by America, has grown to be so pendent on Iran that some analysts see it as a satellite state of Tehran.

Jonathan Steele in The Guardian, 22 August 2008, reports that there is No deal yet to keep US troops in Iraq till 2011.

Condoleeza Rice has admitted that American negotiators have not yet got Iraqi officials to agree to keep US troops well into the next president's first term.

The US government seeks an agreement to replace the UN mandate covering the US-led occupation.

Bush wants a pact to authorise a troop presence at least until 2011.

Iraq prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, is insisting on:

1. a clear timetable for withdrawal,

2. the lifting of judicial immunity for US troops who commit abuses,

3. a veto on US military operations, including the arrest of Iraqis.

Rumsfeld with Saddam, who was reportedly trained and put into power by the CIA.

According to Jonathan steele, the pact has been downgraded into a "memorandum of understanding."

This avoids the need for the US Senate to approve it.

The Iraq parliament has to approve any pact.

The Iraqi officials want a withdrawal of US combat troops from Iraqi cities by the end of June, and for all troops to leave a year or so later.

Rice, and John McCain, wants only only "aspirational timetables."

Barack Obama has pledged to pull all combat troops out of Iraq by June 2010.

From Iraq to Afghanistan

2008-08-01T10:19:00.000-07:00

According to the media, Al-Qaeda (CIA) leaders are 'leaving Iraq to bolster the fight in Afghanistan'

Photo of Afghan children from: http://flickr.com/photos/46595582@N00/93022980.

The CIA would like you to think that America and Europe are fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

The reality is that the USA and NATO are fighting people who want to end the colonial occupation of their country by people who have allowed the heroin trade to flourish.

People claiming to be al-Qaeda are usually working for the security services of one country or another.

Asia Times , 24 July 2008, (Al-Qaeda's got a brand new bag by Pepe Escobar) quotes Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed, 'a senior al-Qaeda commander in Afghanistan.'

Most likely, al-Yazeed is employed by the CIA to promote their propaganda.

In an interview with Pakistan's Geo TV, al-Yazeed says:

1. "There is no difference between the American people and the American government itself."

In other words, the CIA wants the American people to think they might as well support Bush.

2. "If we see this through sharia law, American people and the government itself are infidels and are fighting against Islam."

In other words, the CIA wants people to think the struggle in Afghanistan is not about gaining independence from the occupiers, but about extremist Islam.

Photo Gallery of US victims in Afghanistan The Afghan Victim Memorial Project by Prof. Marc www.rawa.org/temp/runews/2008/03/19/six-civil...

3. "We have to rely on suicide attacks which are absolutely correct according to Islamic law. We have adopted this way of war because there is a huge difference between our material resources and our enemy's, and this is the only option to attack our enemy."

In other words, the CIA wants to paint the Afghan resistance as a bunch of fanatics rather than freedom fighters.

The CIA does not want people to know that suicide bombings can be faked by the CIA.

(Give a young person an 'important package' to deliver, along with a large amount of cash as a delivery fee. When the person has arrived at the delivery point, press the electronic trigger that sets off the explosives in the package. - cached text )

4. "It is the government of Pakistan which has most damaged our cause. President Musharraf violated the trust of Muslims and contributed to the destruction of the Islamic government of Afghanistan ... Musharraf and his government have made big mistakes, there is no such example in other Islamic states."

In other words, the CIA does not want people to know that it has fallen out with Musharraf and wants him toppled and wants Pakistan broken up. ( aangirfan: CIA TO TOPPLE MUSHARRAF OF PAKISTAN? / aangirfan: Accusations that the CIA murdered Benazir Bhutto)

Bush may not get Iraq deal this year

2008-07-08T12:38:00.000-07:00

Iraq warns US on withdrawal date

The United Nations mandate authorising the presence of U.S.-led forces in Iraq following the 2003 invasion expires at the end of December 2008.

(FACTBOX-Iraq's thorny negotiations with US / Bush administration says it may not get Iraq deal this year)

The United States is negotiating new agreements with Iraq, covering such issues as how long US troops stay in Iraq.

In the USA, Democrats complain that the agreement on U.S. forces could lock the United States into a long-term military presence in Iraq.

Many Iraqis, including cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, see the agreement as a surrender of Iraq's sovereignty to an occupying force. They complain it could pave the way for a permanent U.S. troop presence in Iraq.

The Iraqi government has made clear it does not see eye-to-eye with the Bush administration on the agreements.

Photo - Iraq was once controlled by the British.

Patrick Cockburn, in The Independent, 5 June 2008, tells us of US plans to stay in Iraq.

Revealed: Secret plan to keep Iraq under US control

"A secret deal being negotiated in Baghdad would perpetuate the American military occupation of Iraq indefinitely, regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election in November."

The terms of the deal, leaked to The Independent, are as follows:

1. US troops would have more than 50 permanent bases in Iraq.

2. US troops would be able to conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law.

The deal 'would undercut pledges by the Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, to withdraw US troops if he is elected president in November.'

The Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has called on his followers to demonstrate against the agreement on the grounds that it removes Iraq's independence.

The Bush administration is conceding for the first time that the United States may not finish the security agreement with Iraq before President Bush leaves office.

The Bush administration says it may not get Iraq deal this year

Faced with stiff Iraqi opposition, it is "very possible" the U.S. may have to extend an existing U.N. mandate, said a senior administration official.

That would mean major decisions about how U.S. forces operate in Iraq could be left to the next president, including how much authority the U.S. must give Iraqis over military operations and how quickly any handover takes place.

The Bush administration is conceding for the first time that the United States may not finish the security agreement with Iraq before President Bush leaves office.

The Bush administration says it may not get Iraq deal this year

Faced with stiff Iraqi opposition, it is "very possible" the U.S. may have to extend an existing U.N. mandate, said a senior administration official.

Obama on Iraq

"On Iraq, Obama says he will pull out all US troops by next year, but his staffers have several times conceded this is aspirational and that a final decision will depend on military advice available only to the president...

"McCain, who unlike Obama has always supported the Iraq engagement, says he can see US troops leaving Iraq by 2013..." - Obama's Iraq challenge: debate me

"McCain has long denounced timetables for withdrawal, but said for the first time Thursday that he would like to see most U.S. troops out of Iraq by a specific date: 2013.

"Obama has emphasized his plan to withdraw all combat brigades within 16 months of taking office, but also has carefully hedged, leaving the option of taking more time -- and leaving more troops -- if events require.

"The positioning is noteworthy because McCain and Obama have made Iraq war policy a core element of their campaigns. But McCain has bowed to the political reality that American impatience with the war is growing, and Obama to the fact that a poorly executed exit would risk damage to other vital U.S. interests." - John McCain and Barack Obama tilt toward the center on Iraq plans
