Pedofiilien harhauttaminen on poliisilta kielletty

Turun Sanomat haastatteli miehen, joka halusi seksiä 13-vuotiaalta

Keski-ikäinen perheenisä luuli pääsevänsä harrastamaan seksiä 13-vuotiaan tytön kanssa Helsingissä heinäkuun alussa. Sen sijaan hän joutuikin vastaamaan Turun Sanomien toimittajan kysymyksiin helsinkiläisessä porttikongissa.

”Jusa” oli maalaillut tytölle chateissa kuukauden aikana muun muassa sitä, millä tavoin ”pari” harrastaisi seksiä miehen autossa. Chateissa hän visioi muun muassa sitä, miltä hänestä aikuisena miehenä tuntuisi olla 13-vuotiaan tytön sisässä. Lisäksi hän kyseli tytön kuukautisista ja kehotti tätä lisäämään masturbointia seksin harrastamista varten.

Helsingissä miestä kuitenkin odotti teinitytön sijaan Turun Sanomien ja Väli-Suomen median Sunnuntaisuomalaisentoimittajat. Sunnuntaisuomalaisen toimittaja oli harhauttanut miestä chatissa esiintyen tyttönä kuukauden ajan (Sunnuntaisuomalainen 18.7.). Tuona aikana toimittajan kimppuun oli hyökännyt kymmeniä keskustelijoita, jotka joko kirjoittivat räävittömyyksiä tai suoraan ehdottivat seksin harrastamista. 38-vuotias perheenisä Jusa oli heistä yksi.

Jusa antoi ”tytön” ymmärtää, että he olivat seurustelusuhteessa ja väitti heidän olevan ”ihan rakastuneita”. Mies väitti myös, että tytön on hyvä kokea ensimmäinen kerta aikuisen kanssa.

Väijytys Ruttopuistossa

Kun Jusa saapui Helsingin Ruttopuistoon tapaamaan tyttöä, toimittajat esiintyivät hänelle. Jusa pakeni, mutta Turun Sanomien toimittaja seurasi häntä Esplanadilta Tähtitorninmäen kautta takaisin Yrjönkadulle, josta hän ilmeisesti yritti päästä autolleen. Jusa kuitenkin äkkäsi seuraajansa ja piiloutui. Lopulta porttikongista löydetty Jusa suostui haastatteluun.

– Se on semmoinen fantasiajuttu. Se ei ole Suomessa kielletty, Jusa selitti toimintaansa.

– En mä tiedä, miksi mua kiinnostaa nuorten seksuaalisuus. Se on makee juttu. No joo, ehkä mua kiinnosti nähdä pillu, mutta missään tapauksessa en olisi suorittanut mitään.

Katumusta ja syyllistämistä

Turun Sanomat näytti Jusan vastauksia psykiatrisen vankisairaalan ylilääkärille Hannu Lauermalle . Hänen mukaansa ne ovat tyypillisiä lasta seksuaalisesti hyväksikäyttäneelle.

– Vastauksissa sekoittuu katumuksen ja avunhakemisen vakuuttelu, johon sisältyy itse pyrkimyksen kiistäminen ja vähättely, Lauerma sanoo.

Osassa vastauksista on havaittavissa myös uhrin syyllistämistä, mikä on Lauerman mukaan myös tyypillistä.

– Seksuaalisiin paineisiin liittyy usein tiettyä pakonomaisuutta. Se vähentää halua hoitoon, Lauerma sanoo.

Toimittajien tekemä harhautus on lain mukaan sallittua. Se ei ole rikokseen yllyttämistä, koska lasta ei oikeasti ollut mukana missään vaiheessa. Myöskään Jusa ei syyllistynyt rikokseen, koska chatin toisessa päässä ja puistossa ei ollut teinityttöä. Jos tyttö olisi ollut oikea, seksuaalisen hyväksikäytön tai sen raja olisi saattanut ylittyä.

Poliisille pedofiilien ja Jusan kaltaisten efebofiilien kiinniottaminen olisi paljon helpompaa, jos poliisi saisi esiintyä lapsena internetissä. Poliisi saa esimerkiksi huumausainerikoksissa harjoittaa peitetoimintaa, mutta ei lapsen seksuaalista hyväksikäyttöä selvittäessä tai ennalta ehkäistessä.

Nyt oon saannut sen pääleväongelman kuriin istuttamalla uusia kasveja ja hankkimalla kaks suht iso ja tehokasta pelkoa, mutta enmpä tullut ajatelleeksi, että ne pelkot jyrsii niin paljon tota uppopuuta että nyt akvaariossa leijuu sellasta pientä ruskeaa roskaa kaikkialla, myös kasvien lehdillä…

Tilasin nettiakvaariokaupasta uusia vesi aineita, suodatinvanua ja kaikkea muuta tällasta akvaarion hyvinvointiin liittyvää ja huutonetistä vallisneriaa ja anubiaksia ison kasan, oon myös iskenyt silmäni sellaseen valkoseen ateenalaiseen pylväsraunioon, mutta oottelen tietoa sen mitoista että onko riittävän suuri mun altaaseen tai ei.. :)

Bilderberg

by on June 7th, 2010

Vuosittain kokoontuva salamyhkäinen Bilderberg-ryhmä kokoontuu taas vuosittaiseen tapaan 3.-6.6. Espanjan Sitgesissä. Tämän vuoden kokoukseen osallistuu ainakin Suomen valtiovarainsihteeri ja kokoomuksen puheenjohtaja Jyrki Katainen.[1] Tämän vuoden kokouksen pääasiana on maailmantalouden laskun hallittu jatkaminen.

Suomalaisista osallistujista varmaksi voidaan ilmoittaa vain valtiovarainministeri Jyrki Katainen, mutta suurella todennäköisyydellä kokoukseen osallistuu Shellin toimitusjohtaja Jorma Ollila ja jonkin suomalaisen talouslehden edustaja. Jorma Ollila on osallistunut Bilderberg-kokoukseen jo useita kertoja, johtuen hänen asemastaan Nokian ja Shellin johdossa. Maailmalta kokoukseen osallistuvat muun muassa Rockefeller-perheen johtohahmo David Rockefeller, Espanjan pää- ja ulkoministerit, Hollannin kuningatar, entinen Maailmanpankin johtaja Paul Wolfowitz, Obaman taloudellinen neuvonantaja Paul Volcker ja monta monta muuta. Julkisuuteen vuodetun osallistujalistan voit katsoa täältä.

Bilderbergiä jo yli vuosikymmenen seuranneen tutkijan Daniel Estulinin mukaan tämän vuoden kokouksen yksi tärkeimmistä aiheista on Euroopan yhteisvaluutta Euro ja sen tulevaisuus. Luottamus euroon on viimeisen vuoden aikana vaihdellut hyvinkin paljon ja viimeistään Kreikan valtion talouskriisin yhteydessä usko euron vahvuuteen on hävinnyt vuosia kestäneistä tukitoimista huolimatta. “Isoin painajainen olisi, jos Euroopan maat siirtyisivät takaisin kansallisiin valuuttoihin” toteaa Estulin. Viime vuonna Bilderbergien asialistalla oli Lissabonin sopimuksen hyväksyminen ja maailmanlaajuisen laman hidas, mutta varma syventäminen.

Mikäli Suomen Valtionvarainministeriötä olisi uskominen, olisi Bilderberg-kokous vain konferenssi, jossa “käydään monipuolista vuoropuhelua kansainvälisen politiikan ja talouden kysymyksistä” tai, kuten Jyrki Katainen asian ilmaisi Infosodan haastattelussa “normaali kansalaisfoorumi”. Infosodan pyytäessä Suomen presidentiltä hallussaan olevia Bilderberg-asiakirjoja presidentti julisti kaikki hallussaan olevat Bilderberg-paperit salaisiksi.[2]

Italian parlamentin jäsen Mario Borghezio järjesti kesäkuun alussa EU:n parlamentin tiloissa lehdistötilaisuuden yhdessä The Bilderberg Group -kirjan kirjoittaneen Daniel Estulinin kanssa. Borghezio puhui hyvin voimakkaasti viime marraskuussa EU:n presidentin ja ulkoministerin Bilderberg-jäsenyyksistä ja

Will There Be A False Flag Operation To Implicate Iran?

by on June 7th, 2010
According to news reports, the U.S. military is shipping “bunker-buster” bombs to the U.S. Air Force base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The Herald Scotland reports that experts say the bombs are being assembled for an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The newspaper quotes Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London: “They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran.” [Final destination Iran?, March 14, 2010]
The next step will be a staged “terrorist attack,” a “false flag” operation as per Operation Northwoods, for which Iran will be blamed. As Iran and its leadership have already been demonized, the “false flag” attack will suffice to obtain U.S. and European public support for bombing Iran. The bombing will include more than the nuclear facilities and will continue until the Iranians agree to regime change and the installation of a puppet government. The corrupt American media will present the new puppet as “freedom and democracy.”
If the past is a guide, Americans will fall for the deception. In the February issue of “American Behavioral Scientist,” a scholarly journal, Professor Lance DeHaven-Smith writes that state crimes against democracy (SCAD) involve government officials, often in combination with private interests, that engage in covert activities in order to implement an agenda. Examples include McCarthyism or the fabrication of evidence of communist infiltration, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution based on false claims of President Johnson and Pentagon chief McNamara that North Vietnam attacked a U.S. naval vessel, the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist in order to discredit Ellsberg (“The Pentagon Papers”) as “disturbed,” and the falsified “intelligence” that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction in order to justify the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
There are many other examples. I have always regarded the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Office Building in Oklahoma City as a SCAD. Allegedly, a disturbed Tim McVeigh used a fertilizer bomb in a truck parked outside the building. More likely, McVeigh was a patsy, whose fertilizer bomb was a cover for explosives planted inside the building.
A number of experts dismissed the possibility of McVeigh’s bomb producing such structural damage. For example, General Benton K. Partin, who was in charge of U.S. Air Force munitions design and testing, produced a thick report on the Murrah building bombing which concluded that the building blew up from the inside out. Gen. Partin concluded that, “the pattern of damage would have been technically impossible without supplementary demolition charges at some of the reinforced concrete bases inside the building, a standard demolition technique. For a simplistic blast truck bomb, of the size and composition reported, to be able to reach out on the order of 60 feet and collapse a reinforced column base the size of column A7 is beyond credulity.”
Gen. Partin dismissed the official report as “a massive cover-up of immense proportions.”
Of course, the general’s unquestionable expertise had no bearing on the outcome. One reason is that his and other expert voices were drowned out by media pumping the official story. Another reason is that public beliefs in a democracy run counter to suspicion of government as a terrorist agent. Professor Laurie Manwell of the University of Guelph says that “false flag” operations have the advantage over truth: “research shows that people are far less willing to examine information that disputes, rather than confirms, their beliefs.” Professor Steven Hoffman agrees: “Our data shows substantial support for a cognitive theory known as ‘motivated reasoning,’ which suggests that rather than search rationally for information that either confirms or disconfirms a particular belief, people actually seek out information that confirms what they already believe. In fact, for the most part people completely ignore contrary information.” Even when hard evidence turns up, it can be discredited as a “conspiracy theory.”
All that is necessary for success of “false flag” or “black ops” events is for the government to have its story ready and to have a reliable and compliant media. Once an official story is in place, thought and investigation are precluded. Any formal inquiry that is convened serves to buttress the already provided explanation.
An explanation ready-at-hand is almost a give-away that an incident is a “black ops” event. Notice how quickly the U.S. government, allegedly so totally deceived by al-Qaida, provided the explanation for 9/11. When President Kennedy was assassinated, the government produced the culprit immediately. The alleged culprit was conveniently shot inside a jail by a civilian before he could be questioned. But the official story was ready, and it held.
Professors Manwell and Hoffman’s research resonates with me. I remember reading in my graduate studies that the Czarist secret police set off bombs in order to create excuses to arrest their targets. My inclination was to dismiss the accounts as anti-Czarist propaganda by pro-communist historians. It was only later when Robert Conquest confirmed to me that this was indeed the practice of the Czarist secret police that the scales fell from my eyes.
Former CIA official Philip Giraldi in his article, “The Rogue Nation,” makes it clear that the U.S. government has a hegemonic agenda that it is pursuing without congressional or public awareness. The agenda unfolds piecemeal as a response to “terrorism,” and the big picture is not understood by the public or by most in Congress. Giraldi protests that the agenda is illegal under both U.S. and international law, but that the illegality of the agenda does not serve as a barrier. Only a naif could believe that such a government would not employ “false flag” operations that advance the agenda.
The U.S. population, it seems, is comprised of naïfs whose lack of comprehension is bringing ruin to other lands.

False Flag Operations, 9-11 and the Exopolitical Perspective

© Michael E. Salla, PhD

September 11, 2006

http://www.exopolitics.org

Introduction[1]On the fifth anniversary of the ‘9-11’ attacks, more citizens than ever before are questioning official versions of the attacks and the adequacy of the 9-11 Commission Report. According to an August 2006 Scripps Howard/Ohio University national survey, 36% of Americans believe 9-11 was an ‘inside job’ with government agencies complicit in what occurred.[2] A Zogby poll in May 2006 found that 42% of Americans believed that official explanations and the 9-11 Commission were covering up the truth.[3]There has been a steady stream of authors, journalists, researchers and media personalities coming forward to declare that 9-11 was an ‘inside job’. Some of the more prominent include the theologian Dr David Ray Griffin author/editor of a number of books on 9-11 including 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out (2003), Michael Ruppert author of Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil (2004), and actor Charlie Sheen who went public with his views on March 2006.[4] Finally, a website was recently created by a committee of scholars criticizing official explanations and also arguing that 9-11 was an ‘inside job’.[5] With the ever growing number of those claiming 9-11 was an inside job and that there was an official cover up, it comes as no surprise that many now view the 9-11 attacks as part of an historical pattern of governments using ‘false flag’ operations to overcome opposition to their policy objectives. A false flag operation is best described as a covert operation conducted by “governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities.”[6] An increasing number of books and videos are now discussing historic false flag operations in relation to 9-11. The more prominent include David Griffin’s, The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 (2004); Barrie Zwicker’s more recent, Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9/11 (2006); and Alex Jones recent video, TERRORSTORM: A History of Government Sponsored Terrorism (2006). Griffin, Zwicker and Jones examine historic ‘false flag’ operation to present the historical context for analysis of events surrounding 9-11 and the contrived “war on terror”.  In historic ‘false flag’ operations such as the burning of the Reichstag in 1933, the 1953 Iranian coup, the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, intelligence operatives from governments staged events that would be blamed on targeted groups in a way that would facilitate government polices to increase their power or topple foreign governments. More controversially, Griffin argues that the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack was a false flag operation and that this demonstrates the magnitude to which false flag operations can be conducted. [7] Zwicker and Jones discuss how the Nazis directly benefited by covertly orchestrating the burning of the Reichstag and blaming it on communists. Similarly, they describ how US and British policies directly benefited by false flag operations aimed at the popular nationalist Prime Minister of Iran, Muhammad Mossadeq, who was accused of pro-communist sympathies. This led to a coup in 1953 whereby the Shah of Iran was able to assume dictatorial powers that reversed the controversial nationalization policies of Mossadeq. The 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident according to Zwicker, Jones and Griffin was another false flag operation whereby communist North Vietnam was blamed for two attacks on US warships. Documents later released conclusively showed that the second attack never occurred. They also describe failed false flag incidents such as the attack on the USS Liberty by the Israeli Airforce in 1967 during the six day war. They claim that the sinking of the Liberty would have put great pressure on the US to enter the war in support of Israel which planned to shift responsibility to Egypt.Griffin, Zwicker, and Jones have all cited the Operation Northwoods documents that showed the Joint Chiefs of Staff had approved false flag operations in the early 1960s that involved terrorist attacks against American infrastructure and even cities. These covert actions would have been blamed on

Cuba and used to justify a military invasion but were never approved by the Kennedy administration (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/ ). Griffin, Zwicker and Jones use this and other cases as evidence that false flag operations have a long history in the covert actions of many governments including the US. Having persuasively presented evidence that governments have in the past used false flag operations, Griffin, Zwicker and Jones turn their attention to the 9-11 attack; and, to varying degrees, a number of other ‘terrorist attacks’ in Britain, Spain and Bali. In all these cases, Griffin, Zwicker and Jones present evidence that these were false flag operations. They cite historic documents, interview whistleblowers, identify inconsistencies in official versions, and circumstantial evidence that all point to these recent terrorist attacks being false flag operations. In terms of the 9-11 attack in the US and the July 7, 2005  (7-7) attack in Britain, they examine security drills that led to much confusion on the part of security forces that permitted security lapses that may have allowed the attacks to occur. Zwicker and Jones argue that such drills are a characteristic of false flag operations where it is critical to have security forces not involved in such covert operations stand down. They present persuasive evidence that the war on terror is contrived with the goal of depriving citizens in the US and western democracies of their civil liberties, and to neutralize domestic opposition to the war in Iraq. Who was really behind 9-11 and other terrorist attacks, and why?With regard to the question of who was really behind 9-11 and other terrorist attacks, a number of 9-11 authors provide what they believe to be the real factors driving the contrived war on terrorism. To facilitate this study, I will concentrate on four that represent the major thrust of 9-11 arguments: Griffin, Zwicker, Jones, and Ruppert, and simply refer to them collectively as the 9-11 authors. To varying degrees the 9-11 authors point to efforts led by the US and Britain to capture the oil resources of ‘rogue nations’ such as Iraq in order to gain control of the oil industry. By capturing Iraq, driving oil prices up, corporate interests in the US and Britain stand to make enormous short term profits. As the supply of oil reaches peak production, an idea most strongly championed by Michael Ruppert, this ensures that US/British corporate interests are in the driver’s seat for benefiting in the long term from skyrocketing oil prices as industrializing nations such as India and China generate increasing demand for oil. Control over the vital oil industry would therefore enable US corporate dominance in global financial markets well into the next generation. This would make China and India, potential future competitors to US global dominance, more subservient to US policies.The 9-11 authors argue that it is not just oil interests seeking to benefit from wars in Iraq, but also the armaments industries in the US which are by far the world’s largest weapons suppliers. Essentially, US corporate contractors need a contrived war on terrorism to continue to sell their military products to the Pentagon which needs to conduct punitive missions against rogue nations. The ultimate rationale for the arms industry is driven by corporate greed to take advantage of security threats to maintain a perpetual war economy that is funded at the expense of the ordinary tax payer. Eisenhower’s famous farewell address warning of the dangers of the military-industrial complex is most commonly cited as evidence of such a danger.

In addition to US financial dominance and corporate greed, the 9-11 authors offer their ultimate rationale for the contrived war on terrorism. This is the theory of Pax Americana that what drives US policy is the need to establish US hegemony around the planet. Griffin, Jones, Ruppelt and Zwicker argue that by the Bush administration claiming that ‘rogue states’ are ‘harboring terrorists’, and developing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that would be given to the terrorists, the US has the rationale to launch preemptive wars and establish control over nations opposed to US dominance. They cite neo-conservative figures associated with the New American Century Project as exponents of this imperialist agenda to establish US global dominance.[8] Consequently, the war on Iraq was justified using the WMD thesis that Saddam Hussein was allied with terrorist groups that he would have used as proxies to launch such weapons on the US. While US global hegemony would be justified on the need to make the world safe for democracy, the true rationale according to 9-11 authors is to make the world profitable for key US corporations allied with the oil and armaments industries.The assessments of the 9-11 authors of false flag operations as being rooted in the greed of the oil and armaments industries, and  the imperialist designs of neo-conservatives continues to attract much support from many disenchanted with official explanations for terrorist attacks on the US and Britain; the spinning of the intelligence data used to justify the war on Iraq; and the enormous profits generated by corporations involved in the oil and armaments industries. In particular, Griffin’s, Zwicker’s and Jones’ analysis of false flag operations is helpful in identifying the catalyst for government policies that result in diminished civil liberties and dampen domestic opposition to preemptive wars ostensibly aimed to “protect democracy”, but which provide windfall profits for large US corporations. The 9-11 authors analyses focusing on US imperialism helps identify the enormous influence of neo-conservatives in the Bush administration in dictating official government policy. There is however a missing factor in the analyses of the 9-11 authors focusing on the trifecta of the oil industry, the military-industrial complex, and US imperialism. A factor that provides a deeper level of analysis for what is really driving US policies in the Middle East and elsewhere around the planet. The 9-11 authors are missing the exopolitical factor.

Understanding the Exopolitical PerspectiveExopolitics is based on extensive evidence that extraterrestrial civilizations are visiting the Earth and that this evidence is systematically covered up by both government agencies and military departments in the US and other major nations in what has been described as a “Cosmic Watergate”.[9] The mainstream scientific view that the speed of light presents and insurmountable obstacle to the physical presence of extraterrestrial visitors has been increasingly challenged by new theories concerning faster than light speed travel.[10] Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) suggests that our understanding of science periodically undergoes a paradigm shift. Exopolitics represents a paradigm shift in political thinking about the underlying forces driving domestic and international affairs. Not only is evidence of extraterrestrial visitation in the contemporary era being covered up; but, perhaps more significantly, evidence of an historic extraterrestrial presence that has sponsored past human civilizations is also covered up. This means that both the knowledge and technology of extraterrestrials currently visiting the Earth, and historic evidence of earlier extraterrestrial visitations, have become paramount national security concerns that are kept hidden from the general public. The true extent of the national security implications concerning public disclosure of an extraterrestrial presence is revealed in a Brookings Institute study for NASA in 1960 claiming that public discovery of an extraterrestrial intelligence could lead to the collapse of Western civilization.[11] The impact of an extraterrestrial presence and its implications for politics, science, economy and culture, could very quickly lead to a collapse of vital institutions for every country on the planet thereby threatening the sovereignty of major nations. Furthermore, according to a number of former military whistleblowers, UFOs have disabled or destroyed US nuclear missiles on a number of occasions.[12] This partly reveals the secret concern of policy makers over extraterrestrial visitors. In short, the national security implications of an extraterrestrial presence trumps every other national security issue, and is the Rosetta Stone for understanding the true dynamics underlying global politics and international finance.[13]Evidence for the cover-up of an extraterrestrial presence is extensive and persuasive. Hundreds of credible whistleblowers have emerged from the military, government and corporate sectors to describe the cover up various aspects of UFOs and the extraterrestrial hypothesis. The testimonies of many of these government whistleblowers are available through private organizations such as the Disclosure Project.[14] Furthermore, leaked classified documents have disclosed critical features of the national security system created to deal with the extraterrestrial presence. Many of these documents are available through the popular “Majestic Documents” website.[15] Numerous websites, books and organizations have presented the evidence and testimonies of thousands of witnesses, ‘experiencers’, researchers and whistleblowers revealing the extent of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth.

The 9-11 authors fail to identify a number of key exopolitical factors behind false flag operations. These factors have to do with the political management system created for extraterrestrial affairs; the technology and knowledge about extraterrestrials that are located on the territory of different foreign governments; and with the ‘black budget’ needed to finance covert operations based on acquiring extraterrestrial technologies and information. Given the highly classified nature of extraterrestrial affairs, all these activities occur without any congressional or legislative oversight in the US and other major nations such as Britain, Russia and China. I will now examine five exopolitical factors that need to be considered when analyzing false flag operations in general.  Five exopolitical factors and False Flag OperationsThe first factor is the existence of a covert web of interlocking governmental and military agencies in the US and around the world created to manage extraterrestrial affairs. Often described as the ‘secret government’, this organization operates in parallel with the more conventional political system comprising elected representatives and appointed government officials. This is similar to Lewis Lapham’s distinction between the “provisional government” and the “permanent government” wherein the former comprises elected officials while the latter comprises special interest groups drawn from corporations, military and educational sector.[16] Individuals in the conventional system of government, Lapham’s “provisional government”, are only briefed on the basis of “need to know” and not due to their rank or position. Consequently, it has been demonstrated that sitting Presidents can be kept out of the loop as occurred in the cases of presidents Carter and Clinton.[17] President Clinton reportedly said to senior White House reporter Sarah McClendon: “Sarah, there’s a secret government within the government, and I have no control over it.”[18] The ‘secret government’ managing extraterrestrial affairs sits at the apex of the unelected “permanent government” and has been described as MJ-12 or PI-40.[19] Major false flag operations such as 9-11 almost certainly involve the ‘secret government’ using such operations as part of its broader agenda in managing extraterrestrial affairs. It is very unlikely that transitions in the “provisional government”, such as the 2000 election of George Bush and the appointment of neo-conservatives to prominent positions would be capable of producing false flag operations on the order of 9-11. The ascendancy of neo-conservatives to high government positions would not be sufficient to enable false flag operations to proceed due to the potential opposition of many career bureaucrats and government officials. Only a more long term and secretive management system that exists outside of the rotation of elected political officials could hope to rein in career bureaucrats and government officials. Consequently, given the magnitude of the 9-11 attacks, this could only have occurred with the assent of the secret (or permanent) government that used neo-conservatives appointed to senior positions in the Bush administration (the ‘provisional government’) as the instruments for achieving the former’s policy goals. The uncritical support of major governments such as Britain and Australia in subsequent policies adopted by the Bush administration, is due to the ‘secret governments’ of these nations coordinating their policies in a global management system created for extraterrestrial affairs. This involves many quasi governmental organizations such as the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, and the Council of Foreign Relations that supply the resources and leadership for dictating long term secret government policies around the planet.[20] The second factor to consider for false flag operations is the need by the secret government to maintain exclusive control of all extraterrestrial technology and evidence found around the world. This involves the removal of any physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitation from the public realm, and the relocation of this to the classified scientific laboratories of the US or other major nations. There are numerous instances of extraterrestrial vehicles crashing around the planet. These have been documented and analyzed in a recent book by Ryan Woods, Majic Eyes Only.[21] In all these cases, governments are expected to comply either through inducements or sanctions with these covert efforts led by the secret government which is global in scope. National leaders who do not comply run the great risk of being removed from office. For example, the 1979 coup that removed the Prime Minister of Granada, Sir Eric Gairy, was a false flag operation designed to prevent Gairy from getting the United Nations to seriously move forward in investigating the UFO issue. Gairy was instrumental in Grenada’s sponsorship of the only United Nations Resolution dealing with UFOs (passed in 1978) and was scheduled to meet with UN Secretary General on 13 March 1979, to discuss further UN initiatives on UFOs based on extraterrestrial material recovered in Grenada.[22] On the same day of his meeting, his government was removed from power in a revolutionary coup led by Maurice Bishop. Gairy’s case suggests that false flag operations resulting in coups led by disgruntled elites may be a result of a policy of forcing out of office non-compliant national leaders to the global system covering up UFO/extraterrestrial information. Such leaders are replaced by more compliant individuals who can be easily discredited or removed in the future. The third exopolitical factor is the need to gain control of any territory that once hosted ancient civilizations that contain artifacts providing valuable information or technology left by extraterrestrials. These ancient civilizations have buried within their ruins much information and even technology gained through extraterrestrial intervention that allegedly occurred millennia ago. For example, there is much evidence that the ancient Sumerian civilization was sponsored by an extraterrestrial civilization known as the Anunnaki.[23] Sumer, known as the cradle of western civilization, was located in southern Iraq and was subjected to a number of archeological excavations supported by Saddam Hussein’s regime. There is growing evidence that the 1991 and 2003 US led military interventions in Iraq were aimed at gaining access to some of the ancient archeological sites in Iraq in order to find any information or technology concerning the Anunnaki.[24] The fabrication of intelligence data concerning Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and alliance with terrorist organizations was a false flag operation intended to justify US military intervention in 2003 in order to ensure Iraq’s extraterrestrial assets could not be exploited by Hussein’s regime or fall into the hands of strategic competitors such as Russia and China. Evidence for this fabrication came in the September 2006 Report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that confirms that intelligence data used to justify the Iraq war was ‘overstated’.[25] The fourth exopolitical factor concerns the use of weather modification technologies that former Secretary of State William Cohen confirmed as existing in 1997.[26] False flag operations using weather modification technologies are used to shift blame onto ‘unpredictable’ environmental factors, when in fact such technologies are being used as an instrument of national policy. Such technologies can be used to create natural disasters or events that coerce nations into complying with the global secrecy system concerning extraterrestrial affairs. This global secrecy system ensures that scientific information, alternative energy technologies and information concerning extraterrestrials is not released into the global media. For example, the December 2004 Asian Tsunami affected a number of nations including the Indian sub-continent. At the time, India had been at the forefront of a growing number of disclosures concerning extraterrestrial visitation.[27] It is very possible that the Asian Tsunami served as a signal to India that weather modification technologies could be used if India pursued its disclosure policies. Subsequently, the Bush administration signed in July 2005 an extraordinary agreement to help India develop its nuclear industry, and continued to allow US industries to outsource jobs to India. This suggests that a mix of inducements and sanctions using weather modification technologies is used to gain the compliance of rising nations such as India that might otherwise challenge the global secrecy system. The final exopolitical factor concerns the ‘real’ black budget in the US. Official estimates of the black budget by the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) focus on CIA disclosures revealing the true size of the budget funding the activities of all US intelligence agencies. Revealed by the CIA to be 26.7 billion dollars for fiscal year 1997, this money appears in single line items on the annual Pentagon budget, and has been estimated by the FAS to be 30.1 billion for fiscal year 2007. Conventional wisdom is that the ‘black budget’ is funded by the Pentagon which creates dummy projects and exaggerates the costs of actual defense expenditures (e.g., toilet seats), and channels all these funds into ‘deep black’ projects. However, the real size of the black budget is estimated to be closer to one trillion dollars per calendar year which is more than double the whole Pentagon budget of $420 billion for Fiscal Year 2006. This vast sum of money is accumulated by the CIA not for ensuring US corporate profits nor for financial dominance, but to fund a secret network of deep black projects that constitute a second Manhattan Project.[28] In his book, The Dark Alliance, Gary Webb revealed compelling evidence that the CIA was involved in the drug trade, and that local law enforcement agencies were deliberately undermined in their efforts to capture the major players in the drug trade due to CIA intervention. Evidence for this has been amassed by Michael Ruppert on his From the Wilderness website and book, Crossing the Rubicon.[29] If the CIA is complicit in the funneling of drugs into the US in order to generate an enormous pool of illicit funds, the main purpose of these funds is not to enrich ‘drug barons’ or corrupt politicians, but to fund the second Manhattan Project. Furthermore, profits generated from the armaments, oil and other industries, both legal and illicit, are accumulated by CIA front companies that are also funneled into deep black projects that escape Congressional scrutiny. These highly immoral funding activities are tolerated on the basis of the national security concern of hiding the true extent of the extraterrestrial related projects created in response to an extraterrestrial presence.  Conclusion: Incorporating the Exopolitical Perspective on 9-11 and False Flag OperationsFalse flag operations can lead to US military intervention in areas that can help maintain the drug trade that the CIA uses to generate funding for black budget projects. False flag operations such as the Tonkin incident and the September 11 attack led to military intervention in areas vital for the drug trade: Indochina and Afghanistan. According to Zworkin and Jones, the Tonkin incident was orchestrated to ensure that the US would enter the war in Vietnam to maintain US global hegemony through military efforts to prevent communist expansion in Indochina, and provide armaments industries with new weapons orders. However, the Vietnam war fulfilled deeper exopolitical purposes for the US, one of which was to help the CIA to profit from lucrative drug running operations. This is something that Ruppert himself identifies but he opposes an exopolitical perspective due to his refusal to consider evidence substantiating UFOs.[30] Similarly, the US intervention into Afghanistan was also motivated, according to Ruppert, by the desire to restore the drug trade that had been threatened by the policies of the fundamentalist Taliban regime that had all but eliminated the heroin production cycle.[31] The 9-11 authors provide a cogent case that recent terrorist attacks in the US, Britain and other countries have the distinguishing features of false flag operations that have been used in the past by governments to target potential opponents, create contrived threats, and to erode civil liberties. The various books and videos dealing with 9-11 as a false flag operation are powerful warnings of the extent to which governments can go in order to augment their power. In explaining the ultimate goal of these false flag operations, the level of analysis of the most well known 9-11 authors, Jones, Zwicker, Ruppert and Griffin do not go deep enough into revealing the true agenda and beneficiaries. According to Jones, Zwicker and many others, the ultimate beneficiaries of false flag operations are the corporate barons behind the oil and armaments industries, and the imperialistic designs of US neoconservatives currently dominating the Bush administration. This supposedly provides a persuasive explanation for who is ultimately behind the war on terrorism and why it is being pursued. Rather than corporate greed and imperialistic intentions driving the war on terrorism, there are deeper factors that concern covert policies involving deeply classified projects involving extraterrestrial technologies funded by illicit black budget sources that use front companies in the oil and armaments industries. This is where the explanations for 9-11 offered by Griffin, Jones, Ruppert and Zwicker do not go far enough in identifying the true parameters of the ‘inside job’ that led to 9-11. Corporate greed and neo-conservative imperialism are not the driving force behind the war against terrorism, but the vehicles used to generate funds for a second Manhattan project that trumps all other national security concerns in the US and other major nations. With the internet and increased communications threatening to undermine the global secrecy system covering up evidence confirming an extraterrestrial presence, the war on terror provides a means of distracting the public, discrediting researchers seeking to expose this evidence. The war on terrorism also provides a useful cover for continuing to generate enormous sums of revenue for a second Manhattan project that escapes government oversight and to increase the power of the secret government in control of the distribution of this revenue. The authors and researchers associated with the thesis that 9-11 was an ‘inside job’ have pointed us in the right direction in terms of government complicity. They deserve credit for helping open the eyes of the American public to what really transpired in 9-11 as evidenced in the recent Zogby and Scripps polls.  However, the 9-11 authors do not identify the different exopolitical factors that reveal the deeper agenda behind false flag operations. This is understandable given the way in which advocates of a ‘Cosmic Watergate’ concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation have been ridiculed in the past. Invoking evidence pointing to a “Cosmic Watergate” could easily be perceived by some as a means of jeopardising public consideration of objective studies of 9-11. Even worse, considering exopolitical factors may even lead to accusations of mis-information designed to throw 9-11 researchers off track. However, surveys such as the 2002 Roper Poll show that approximately 70% of the American public believes the government is not telling the truth about UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation.[32] This suggests that there is great benefit in connecting the 9-11 and UFO cover ups to better understand the key actors and institutions involved in false flag operations and possible exopolitical factors. It is only through a systematic understanding of the exopolitical perspective that the true motives underscoring the ‘war on terror’ and the nature of the ‘secret government’ can be fully gauged, and a durable solution found that prevents future false flag operations.

Terrosism

by on June 7th, 2010

“Evenhanded use of the “terrorist” label would mean sometimes affixing it directly on the U.S. government. During the past decade, from Iraq to Sudan to Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan, Pentagon missiles have destroyed the lives of civilians just as innocent as those who perished on September 11, 2001. If journalists dare not call that “terrorism,” then maybe the word should be retired from the media lexicon.”

Carl Boggs

” … the United States, for generations, has sustained two parallel but opposed states of mind about military atrocities and human rights: one of U.S. benevolence, generally held by the public, and the other of ends-justify-the-means brutality sponsored by counterinsurgency specialists. Normally the specialists carry out their actions in remote locations with little notice in the national press. That allows the public to sustain its faith in a just America, while hard-nosed security and economic interests are still protected in secret. “

Robert Parry, investigative reporter and author

History of American False Flag Operations

www.911review.com/

The leaders of smaller and less industrialised nations are not madmen (whatever the media claims). They also are generally better informed than their citizens. In a war an attacker does not need equal forces compared to the enemy. The attacker needs a 5-fold local superiority, or better. No one begins wars without very definite objectives and a quick victory in sight. If a war with more even military balance erupts, someone has been mislead and walked into a trap (usually arranged by third party).

After the American war of Independence (1776-1779), and an English challenge to that independence (1812-1814) no single nation has planned an offensive war against the USA. It is probable that a strong coalition of Anglo-French-led European nations planned to split the USA into two states through diplomatic recognition of the Confederate states possibly followed up by naval blockade embargoing the Union. At that time the British Empire was the strongest naval power, and the French the second strongest. The events led, however, into the Civil War (1860-1865) and due to the Russian intervention 1863 (1863) on the Union’s side, those European plans were quietly abandoned.

Mexican wars 1819, 1846-48

Long series of operations, commencing with the annexion of Florida (1819) and followed by a declaration of independence of Texas from Mexico (1836). Provocative troop movements near the U.S. southern border caused an incident which led to war. (It is said the US built a fortification 150 km inside the Mexican border.) The annexation of Texas by the USA and the conquest of California, New Mexico, and nearby territories followed. Mexico had a weak government at that time, because after Napoleon conquered Spain (1809) their former colonies soon revolted. Mexico had been a colony of the Spanish kingdom but now they revolted and formed a republic. There were a series of revolts, not just one.

Spanish-American war, 1898

The surprise explosion of the battleship Maine at Havana, Cuba. 255 of the crew died. The Hearst press accused the Spanish, claiming that the explosion was caused by a remote-controlled mine. The USA declared war on Spain, and conquered Philippines, Guam and Cuba. Subsequent investigations revealed that the explosion originated inside the Maine and that it was either an accident, such as a coal explosion, or some type of time bomb inside the battleship. Divers investigating the shipwreck found that the armour plates of the ship were blown bending outwards, not inwards.

World War I, 1914-1918

A U-boat torpedo hit ocean liner Lusitania near Britain and some 1200 people, including 128 Americans, on board lost their lives. Subsequent investigations revealed that the major explosions were inside the Lusitania, as it was secretly transporting 6 million pounds of artillery shells and rifle ammunition, as well as other explosives on behalf of Morgan banking corporation to help their clients, the Britain and the France. It was against US laws to transport war materials and passengers in the same ship.

World War II, 1939-1945

A U-boat torpedo hit the ocean liner Athenia near Britain with some 1100 passengers, of which 311 were Americans. The sea was calm and only 118 people on board lost their lives. The ship was sunk because it behaved like a military transport, blackened out and zigzagging. This incident wasn’t enough to precipitate war, and the Germans also refused to be provoked by several American acts of war. Americans confiscated German merchant ships, and Americans started to support the British with various lend-lease items, US volunteer pilots joined the RAF and some RAF pilots were trained in the US, US gave the British 50 old but usable WW1 destroyers and 20 modern torpedo boats, tanks, light bombers, fighter aircraft like P-40s and so on. American destroyers also escorted the convoys bound to Britain, and attacked German U-boats even far away from those convoys. The US did not maintain a neutral stance attitude towards the warring nations.

The US naval intelligence, chief of Japan desk planned and suggested “8 insults”, which should bring Japan into war with the US. President Roosevelt executed this plan immediately and also added some other insults, enraging the Japan. The most serious one was a total blockade of Japanese oil imports, as agreed between the Americans, British and the Dutch. FDR also declared an all-out embargo against the Japan and forbade them the use of Panama canal, impeding Japan’s access to Venezuelan oil.

The Flying Tigers volunteer air group successfully fighting the Japanese in China with some 90 fairly modern P-40Bs was another effective provocation that is not generally acknowledged by historical accounts of World War 2, most of which fail to mention any air combat action prior to 7th December 1941. But at that time the Japanese had already had lost about 100 military aircraft, mostly bombers, to the Tigers. After Pearl Harbor these squadrons were some of the the hardest-hitting ones in the US service.

The attack on Pearl Harbour followed some 6 months later. Having broken the Japanese encryption codes, the Americans knew what was going to happen, when and where, but the president did not dispatch this information to Pearl Harbor. Americans even gave their friends the British 3 Magic decrypting machines which automatically opened encrypted Japanese military traffic. But this same information was not available to the commanders of Hawaii. The movement of the fleet was also visible in the very effective radio direction finding network. Japan had an alliance with Germany, and the Germans upheld their promises by declaring the war against the USA right after the Japanese declaration.

Two scapegoats, the navy commander Admiral Husband Kimmel, and the army commander Lt. General Walter Short were found incompetent and demoted as they were allowed to retire. Short died 1949 and Kimmel 1958. In 1995, the US Congress re-examined this decision and endorsed it. Then in 2000 some archive information came to light and the US Senate passed a resolution stating that both hadserved in Hawaii “competently and professionally”. In 1941 they were denied vital information, and even on presidential orders purposefully mislead into believing that the Japanese feet could be expected from the southwest. These commanders have yet to be rehabilited by the Pentagon.

Korean War, 1950-1953

South Korean incursions (the Tiger regiment etc.) into North Korea (1949) led to contrary claims and into war. The cause of this war propably was covert action involving leaders of Taiwan, South Korea and the US military-industrial complex (John Foster Dulles has been mentioned as an organizer of the hostilities.) After the unpublished hostilities in 1949, the communist powers were strongly backing North Korea.

Chiang Kai Sek was being abandoned, isolated and falling prey to the powerful communist Chinese operations. The right-wing South Korean ruler was expected to loose the soon-to-be-elections. The American military-industrial complex went into high gear again, and huge government orders for equipment were flowing in.

The American-led UN forces had difficult times early in the war, but after sufficient forces arrived they advanced victoriously and penetrated deep into the North Korea. The strong Chino-Russian intervention into the war once again turned the tides, the Chinese with vast armies on ground, and the Soviets less visibly with large numbers of aircraft, nearly costing the UN forces the war.

Finally the front stabilised along the original 38th parallel armistice line. The war resulted in the death of 3 million Korean Chinese and the destruction of virtually all of the Korean cities, and left Taiwan in strong American protection and South Korea firmly in the hands of the right-wing president Syngman Rhee. Some 55,000 Americans lost their lives.

Vietnam War

“The Tonkin incident”, where American destroyer Maddox was supposedly attacked twice by three North Vietnamese torpedo boats in 1964 in the Gulf of Tonkin never happened. What was happening at the time were aggressive South Vietnamese raids against the North in the same general area. Huge American presence wasn’t decisive and President Nixon negotiated a “peace with honour” 1973. This war was lost, when the North Vietnam finally conquered South Vietnam 1975.

Grenada invasion

The Grenadian leader favouring the left and having invited Cubans to help building the infrastructure, extending the airport to accomodate long range Soviet aircraft, was replaced at a moment when he was negotiating in the UN, New York for a more open UN UFO policy based on Grenada initiatives. The proffered reason for the immediate invasion was that American medical students studying in the Grenada were in danger due the Cuban presence. The new leader supported by the US favoured more traditional values and the right.

War on Drugs

The war was launched by Richard M Nixon sometime around June 17,1971. The drug problem was found bad within the army in Viet Nam around 1968 prompting action was required towards the end of the war. Nowadays it is estimated that the military will never win the War on Drugs. The street prices of illicit drugs did not change significantly in the USA despite the military action in foreign drug-producing countries. The Colombian experience, with local military supported by the US, has shown that peace is more important than war against drugs. The Colombians have successfully negotiated some 1000s of guerrilla fighters back into the society and out of jungle.

This “war” actually seems to be a pretext for military invasions into less developed countries, where covert “bad” drug lords on behalf of western intelligence services are producing drugs into US and first world markets. This operation produces huge incomes, generating black budget money for those intelligence services managing the global drug operations.

Panama invasion

The incident between American and Panamanian troops led to invasion. The leader Noriega was changed and the earlier Carter administration plan to hand the control of the canal over to Panama was cancelled. The strategic importance of the canal has surpassed any more just thinking in the US global domination policy.

US-Israeli sponsored war between Iraq and Iran, 1980-1988: The US has built power bases in the Middle East in Iran starting with the CIA-organised coup 1953, where Iranian prime minister Mossadeq was replaced with the Shah of Iran Reza Pahlavi and he by his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Iran was equipped with the best western military equipment, including the American F-14 fighters with Phoenix missiles and the British Chieftain MBTs. Unfortunately there was in 1979 a coup of ayatollah Khomeini replacing the Shah and founding an Islamite nation.

After this, the US warmed up relations with their good Iraqi friend Saddam Hussein, and started to build a nation capable of challenging the Iran. Iraq acquired large numbers of effective weapons including factories able to produce older versions of gas warfare agents. These would later be called WMDs, which of course they were not, being the WW1-vintage weapons.

The war broke out and was fought to exhaustion because third-party powers, especially Israel, were carefully monitoring the power balance supplying more weapons to the side which seemed to be loosing. “Too bad they both cannot loose” is how Kissinger evaluated this situation.

Desert Storm (First Gulf war) 1991

Hussein asked for permission from the US (via their ambassador April Gillespie) and got an answer that the US does not care Arab quarrels. That was a trap, and after Saddam occupied Kuwait, George Bush Sr. mobilised a coalition of some 40 nations to “liberate Kuwait” and to smash the recently-built Iraqi military power base. This also involved a media hoax, where the daughter of Kuwaiti US ambassador played nurse on TV and testified to “witnessing” Iraqi soldiers throwing babies out of incubators in Kuwait.

War on Terror

The war was launched by Bush administration October 2001. The war was claimed to be the response on terrorism, especially the 9-11 incidents. Most of the people in the world today know that these reasons are false and that those events were based on MIH type (make it happen) inside job.

Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan invasion), 10/7/01

Without any evidence, the former CIA-asset, a Saudi-Arabian Osama bin Laden was claimed to be the mastermind behind the 9/11 strikes at the WTC and the Pentagon. Such a complex operation, if actually executed which it was not, in this case would be much beyond the capabilities of anything in Afghanistan. Only some top ten intelligence services in the world could hope to be successful in such an operation involving forgery, infiltration, living “underground” in a foreign non-Muslim country, coordination of moves, illegal arms, hi-quality flight training, accurate aircraft navigation in no-visibility conditions and so on. Perhaps even less, because the friends of the US (at that time, still most of the world) would also have been interested in stopping the attack.

Enduring Justice (Second Gulf war), 3/20/03

later known with less irony as Operation Iraqi Freedom The claimed reason of the attack was that Iraq was a clear and present danger to the US with wmd’s available within less than an hour after the decision to assemble them has been made. Since no wmd’s were found, and after the Iraqi also scrapped some 800 long range Scud style missiles before the US coalition attack, the reason for the invasion was changed into “bringing the democracy into Iraq”.

The Best Enemies Money Can Buy

From Hitler To Saddam Hussein to Osama bin Laden – Insider Connections and the Bush Family’s Partnership with Killers of Americans

Brown Brothers, Harriman – BNL- and the Carlyle Group

FTW, Oct. 9, 2001 – Since the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, major media powerhouses and the increasingly influential alternative media alike have begun to focus attention on Bush family connections and a long history of arming and financing America’s attackers in the months and years prior to the outbreak of war. Recent stories in the Wall Street Journal (Sept. 27 & 28, 2001), ABC News (Oct. 1, 2001), as well as a host of reports from so-called alternative news sources have begun to focus attention on the Bush family’s profit-making role in creating and arming our enemies.

The following is a more comprehensive look at the documented history of these relationships that will also open some new avenues of inquiry for the press, Congress and the American people.

In a world now filled with biowarfare agents, backpack nuclear devices, and chemical weapons like Sarin gas — where there are people in many countries with reasons to oppose the United States – the Bush Administration is following predictable strategies in a way that redefines the concept of brinksmanship. Human survival may depend upon the will and the ability of both the Congress and the press to focus on these relationships and to take appropriate action. Moreover – and I am not the first to say this – if a national security priority is to seize the financial assets of those who support terrorists, then perhaps we should start right here at home.

Adolph Hitler

Meticulous research, including U.S. government records from the era, along with contemporaneous news stories from the New York Times and other papers is presented in the 1992 book entitled, “George Bush, The Unauthorized Biography” by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin, Published by The Executive Intelligence Review and located at http://www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm. The following is sourced entirely from Chapter II of this essential work. [Note: Although FTW does not always agree with conclusions reached by the Executive Intelligence Review, or its founder Lyndon La Rouche, we have never found a single flaw in any of their factual research. History is history, no matter who presents it. And this history is essential to understanding our era.]

George W. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, was the Managing Director of the investment bank Brown Brothers, Harriman from the 1920s through the 1940s. It was Brown Brothers, in conjunction with Averell Harriman, the Rockefeller family, Standard Oil, the DuPonts, the Morgans and the Fords who served as the principal funding arm in helping to finance Adolph Hitler’s rise to power starting in 1923. This included direct funding for the SS and SA channeled through a variety of German firms. Prescott Bush, through associations with the Hamburg-Amerika Steamship line, Nazi banker Fritz Thyssen (pronounced Tee-sen), Standard Oil of Germany, The German Steel Trust (founded by Dillon Read founder, Clarence Dillon), and I.G. Farben, used the Union Bank Corporation to funnel vast quantities of money to the Nazis and to manage their American interests. The profits from those investments came back to Bush allies on Wall Street. Thyssen is universally regarded as having been Hitler’s private banker and ultimate owner of the Union Bank Corporation.

Early support for Hitler came from Prescott Bush through the Hamburg-Amerika Steamship line — also funded by Brown Bothers — that funneled large sums of money and weapons to Hitler’s storm troopers in the 1920s.

According to Tarpley and Chaitkin, “In May 1933, just after the Hitler regime was consolidated, an agreement was reached in Berlin for the coordination of all Nazi commerce with the U.S.A. The Harriman International Company… was to head a syndicate of 150 firms and individuals, to conduct all exports from Hitler Germany to the United States.”

Furthermore, a 1942 U.S. government investigative report that surfaced during 1945 Senate hearings found that the Union Bank, with Prescott Bush on the board, was an “interlocking concern” with the German Steel Trust that had produced:

-        50.8% of Nazi Germany’s pig iron

-        41.4% of Nazi Germany’s universal plate

-        36% of Nazi Germany’s heavy plate

-        38.5% of Nazi Germany’s galvanized sheet

-        45.5% of Nazi Germany’s pipes and tubes

-        22.1% of Nazi Germany’s wire

-        35% of Nazi Germany’s explosives

The business relationships established by Bush in 1923 continued even after the war started until they became so offensive and overt as to warrant seizure by the U.S. government under the Trading with the Enemy Act in 1942.

In 1942, “Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government took over Union Banking Corporation, in which Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian seized Union Banking Corp.’s stock shares…

“… all of which shares are held for the benefit of… members of the Thyssen family, [and] is property of nationals… of a designated enemy country.”

“On October 28, the government issued orders seizing two Nazi front organizations run by the Bush-Harriman bank: the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation.”

“Nazi interests in the Silesian-American Corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his father in law George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act on Nov. 17, 1942…” These seizures of Bush businesses were reported in a number of American papers including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Prescott Bush went on to become an influential Republican Senator from Connecticut who went on to be a regular golfing partner of President Dwight Eisenhower. His attorneys were the lawyers John Foster and Allen Dulles, the later became the CIA Director under Eisenhower.

Saddam Hussein

After becoming President in January 1989, Prescott Bush’s son, George Herbert Walker Bush – father of our current President – authorized a series of programs that not only armed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein but also provided him with technology that assisted in his development of chemical weapons like Sarin gas, and biological weapons, which he still possesses. Apologists for Bush (the elder) say that, after the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s left the region unstable, he was just trying to establish a new balance of power. Not so. Bush directives and policies, including relationships with the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), and the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) were directly and deliberately responsible for creating the army the U.S. fought in 1991.

A story by Russ W. Baker, in the March/April issue the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR), provided the most compelling overview of Iraqgate that I have seen.

“ABC News Nightline opened last June 9 with words to make the heart stop ÔIt is becoming increasingly clear,’ said a grave Ted Koppel, Ôthat George Bush, operating largely behind the scenes throughout the 1980s, initiated and supported much of the financing, intelligence, and military help that built Saddam’s Iraq into the aggressive power that the United States ultimately had to destroy…

“Why, then, have some of our top papers provided so little coverage?” Baker poignantly asks.

” The result: readers who neither grasp nor care about the facts behind facile imagery like The Butcher of Baghdad and Operation Desert Storm. In particular, readers who do not follow the story of the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, which apparently served as a paymaster for Saddam’s arms buildup, and thus became a player in the largest bank-fraud case in U.S. history.

“Complex, challenging, mind-boggling stories (from Iran-Contra to the S&L crisis to BCCI) increasingly define our times: yet we don’t appear to be getting any better at telling them…

“Much of what Saddam received from the West was not arms per se, but so-called dual-use technology — ultra sophisticated computers, armored ambulances, helicopters, chemicals, and the like, with potential civilian uses as well as military applications. We’ve learned that a vast network of companies, based in the U.S. and abroad, eagerly fed the Iraqi war machine right up until August 1990, when Saddam invaded Kuwait.

“And we’ve learned that the obscure Atlanta Branch of Italy’s largest bank, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, relying partly on U.S. taxpayer-guaranteed loans, funneled $5 billion to Iraq from 1985 to 1989. Some government-backed loans were supposed to be for agricultural purposes, but were used to facilitate the purchase of stronger stuff than wheat. Federal Reserve and Agriculture department memos warned of suspected abuses by Iraq, which apparently took advantage of the loans to free up funds for munitions. U.S. taxpayers have been left holding the bag for what looks like $2 billion in defaulted loans to Iraq.

“… In fact, we now know that in February 1990, then Attorney General Dick Thornburgh [appointed by George H.W. Bush] blocked U.S. investigators from traveling to Rome and Istanbul to pursue the case…

“… As New York Times columnist William Safire argued last December 7, ÔIraqgate is uniquely horrendous: a scandal about the Systematic abuse of power by misguided leaders of three democratic nations [The U.S., Britain, and Italy] to secretly finance the arms buildup of a dictator.”

While Democrat Henry Gonzales, Chairman of the House Banking Committee during the period, stood as the lone voice from the wilderness in raising alarms about Bush’s obvious corruption, the rest of the Congress sheepishly ignored all the signs demanding immediate action. Gonzales’ voice reportedly fell silent after his empty car was machine-gunned in a Washington suburb in what passed for a drive-by shooting.

The CJR continues: “Meanwhile, The Village Voice published a major investigation by free-lancer Murray Waas in its December 18, 1990 issue… “That American troops could be killed or maimed because of a covert decision to arm Iraq,’ Waas wrote, “is the most serious consequence of a U.S. foreign policy formulated and executed in secret, without the advice and consent of the American public…”

The L.A. Times, on Feb 23, 1992, dug deep enough to find secret National Security Decision Directives by the Bush Administration in 1989 ordering closer ties with Baghdad and paving the way for $1 billion in new aid. The Times’ series, co-authored with Waas, emphasized that, “buried deep in a 1991 Washington Press piece – that Secretary of State James Baker, after meeting with Iraqi foreign minister Tariq Aziz in October 1989, intervened personally to support U.S. government loans guarantees to Iraq.”

Baker’s CJR report also noted, “On October 3, the [Wall Street] Journal reported [BNL official Christopher] Drogoul’s assertion that the director general of Iraq’s Ministry of Industry and Military Production had told him, ÔWe are all in this together. The intelligence service of the U.S. government works very closely with the intelligence service of the Iraqi government.’ Three weeks later, the Journal reported that [Henry] Gonzales Ôproduced a phone-book-sized packet of documents’ showing the involvement of U.S. exporting firms… The documents mentioned one… which designed parts for Iraq’s howitzers and was financed through BNL…”

In the wake of highly suspicious anthrax outbreaks in Florida, just miles from where several of the WTC suicides pilots trained, we add one final note. In his 1998 book “Bringing the War Home” author William Thomas writes, ” Under that same [weapons transfer] program, 19 containers of Anthrax bacteria were supplied to Iraq in 1988 by the American Type Culture Collection company, located near Fort Detrick, MD, the site of the US Army’s high security germ warfare labs.”

The Carlyle Group, the Bushes and bin Laden

The warnings about the Carlyle Group, the nation’s 11th largest defense contractor, and the Bushes came long before the World Trade Center attacks. The Carlyle Group is a closely held corporation, exempt, for that reason, from reporting its affairs to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Little is known of what it actually does except that it buys and sells defense contractors. As of October 4, 2001, it has removed its corporate web site from the World Wide Web making further investigation through that channel impossible. Its Directors include Frank Carlucci, former Reagan Secretary of Defense; James Baker, former Bush Secretary of State; and Richard Darman, a former White House aide to Ronald Reagan and Republican Party operative.

On March 3, 2001, just weeks after George W Bush’s inauguration, the conservative Washington lobbying group Judicial Watch issued a press release. It said:

“(Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government abuse and corruption, called on former President George Herbert Walker Bush to resign immediately from the Carlyle Group, a private investment firm, while his son President George W. Bush is in office. Today’s New York Times reported that the elder Bush is an “ambassador” for the $12 billion private investment firm and last year traveled to the Middle East on its behalf. The former president also helped the firm in South Korea.

“The New York Times reported that as compensation, the elder Bush is allowed to buy a stake in the Carlyle Group’s investments, which include ownership in at least 164 companies throughout the world (thereby by giving the current president an indirect benefit). James Baker, the former Secretary of State who served as President George W. Bush’s point man in Florida’s election dispute, is a partner in the firm. The firm also gave George W. Bush help in the early 1990’s when it placed him on one of its subsidiary’s board of directors.

“This is simply inappropriate. Former President Bush should immediately resign from the Carlyle Group because it is an obvious conflict of interest. Any foreign government or foreign investor trying to curry favor with the current Bush Administration is sure to throw business to the Carlyle Group. And with the former President Bush promoting the firm’s investments abroad, foreign nationals could understandably confuse the Carlyle Group’s interests with the interests of the United States government,” stated Larry Klayman, Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel.

“Questions are now bound to be raised if the recent Bush Administration change in policy towards Iraq has the fingerprints of the Carlyle Group, which is trying to gain investments from other Arab countries who [sic] would presumably benefit from the new policy,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.”

Judicial Watch noted that “even the Clinton Administration called on the Rodham brothers to stop their business dealings in [The former Soviet Republic of] Georgia because those dealings started to destabilize that country.”

Since the WTC attacks the Wall Street Journal has reported (Sept. 28, 2001) that, “George H.W. Bush, the father of President Bush, works for the bin Laden family business in Saudi Arabia through the Carlyle Group, an international consulting firm.” The senior Bush had met with the bin Laden family at least twice in the last three years – 1998 and 2000 — as a representative of Carlyle, seeking to expand business dealings with one of the wealthiest Saudi families, which some experts argue, has never fully severed its ties with black sheep Osama in spite of current reports in a mainstream press that is afraid of offending the current administration.

The Nation, on March 27, 2000 – in a story co-authored by David Corn and Paul Lashmar – wrote, “In January former President George Bush and former British Prime Minister John Major paid a social call on Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Abdullah…” This story confirms at least one meeting between the elder Bush and Saudi leaders, including the bin Ladens. That the bin Ladens attended this meeting was confirmed in a subsequent September 27, 2001 Wall Street Journal (WSJ) story. The January 2000 meeting with the bin Ladens was also later confirmed by Bush (the elder’s) Chief of Staff Jean Becker, only after the WSJ presented her with a thank you note sent by Bush to the bin Ladens after that meeting.

James Baker visited the bin Ladens in 1998 and 1999 with Carlyle CEO Frank Carlucci.

The WSJ story went on to note, “A Carlyle executive said that the bin Laden family committed $2 million through a London investment arm in 1995 in Carlyle Partners II Fund, which raised $1.3 billion overall. The fund has purchased several aerospace companies among 29 deals. So far, the family has received $1.3 million back in completed investments and should ultimately realize a 40% annualized rate of return, the Carlyle executive said.

“But a foreign financier with ties to the bin Laden family says the family’s overall investment with Carlyle is considerably larger…”

In other words, Osama bin Laden’s attacks on the WTC and Pentagon, with the resulting massive increase in the U.S. defense budget have just made his family a great big pile of money.

More Bush connections appear in relation to the bin Ladens. The WSJ story also notes that, “During the past several years, the [bin Laden] family’s close ties to the Saudi royal family prompted executives and staff from closely held New York publisher Forbes, Inc. to make two trips to the family headquarters, according to Forbes Chairman Caspar Weinberger, a former U.S. Secretary of Defense in the Reagan administration. ÔWe would call on them to get their view of the country and what would be of interest to investors.’”

President G.H.W. Bush pardoned Weinberger for his criminal conduct in the Iran-Contra scandal in 1989.

Our current President, George W. Bush has also had — at minimum — indirect dealings with Carlyle and the bin Ladens. In 1976 his firm Arbusto Energy was funded with $50,000 from Texas investment banker James R. Bath who was also the U.S. investment counselor for the bin Laden family. In his watershed 1992 book, “The Mafia, The CIA and George Bush,” award winning Texas investigative journalist Pete Brewton dug deeply into Bath’s background, revealing connections with the CIA and major fraudulent activities connected with the Savings & Loan scandal that took $500 billion out of the pockets of American taxpayers. A long-time friend of George W. Bush, Bath was connected to a number of covert financing operations in the Iran-Contra scandal, which also linked to bin Laden friend Adnan Khashoggi. One of the richest men in the world, Khashoggi was the arms merchant at the center of the whole Iran-Contra scandal. Khashoggi, whose connections to the bin Ladens is more than superficial, got his first business break by acting as middle-man for a large truck purchase by Osama bin Laden’s older brother, Salem.

Another key player in the Bush Administration, Deputy Secretary of Defense Richard Armitage, left his post as an Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration after a series of scandals connected to CIA operatives Ed Wilson, Ted Shackley, Richard Secord and Tom Clines placed him at the brink of criminal indictment and jail. Shackley and Secord are veterans of Vietnam operations and have long been linked to opium/heroin smuggling. The Armitage scandals all focused on the illegal provision of weapons and war materiel to potential or actual enemies of the U.S. and to the Contras in Central America.

Armitage, a former Navy SEAL, who reportedly enjoyed combat missions and killing during covert operations in Laos during the Vietnam War, has never been far from the Bush family’s side. Throughout his career, both in and out of government, he has been perpetually connected to CIA drug smuggling operations. Secretary of State Colin Powell, in a 1995 Washington Post story, called Armitage, “my white son.” In 1990, then President Bush dispatched Armitage to Russia to aid in its “transition” to capitalism. Armitage’s Russian work for Bush has been frequently connected to the explosion of drug trafficking under the Russian Mafias, which became virtual rulers of the nation afterwards. In the early 1990s Armitage had extensive involvement in Albania at the same time that the Albanian ally, Kosovo Liberation Army was coming to power and consolidating its grip, according to The Christian Science Monitor, on 70% of the heroin entering western Europe. [See FTW Vol. II, No 2 - April 24, 1999]

Armitage and Carlucci are both Board Members of the influential Washington think tank, the Middle East Policy Council.

The connections continue with Vice President Dick Cheney. Amongst the multitude of oil pipeline construction running through the new war zone is one project – according to a Sept. 19, 2001 Wall Street Journal story – a joint venture in which the bin Laden family joined with the construction firm H.C. Price. A researcher named “Phoenix,” writing for the Internet news site Rumor Mills News Agency located at www.rumormillnews.com, reported that Price subsequently changed its name to Bredero Shaw, Inc. and is now owned by a subsidiary of the Halliburton Corporation, Dresser Industries. It was Dresser industries that gave George H.W. Bush his first post war job in 1948. A check of the relevant corporate web sites has confirmed this.

Vice President Dick Cheney, who served as Secretary of Defense during Desert Storm, directing the campaign against Saddam Hussein, was Halliburton’s CEO until last year’s election.

And, according to a 2000 story from Harper’s Magazine, in 1990 our current President, through a position as a corporate director of Caterair, owned by the Carlyle Group – at a time when the bin Laden’s were invested in Carlyle – had additional connections to the bin Laden family. In addition, on March 1, 1995, when George W. Bush was Texas governor and a senior Trustee of the university, the University of Texas Endowment voted to place $10 million in investments with the Carlyle Group. As to how much of that money went to the bin Ladens we can only guess. But we do know that there is a long tradition in the Bush family of giving money to those who kill Americans.

Now, as the people of America are beginning to awaken to what is really being unleashed upon them, as a few brave souls are asking who’s going to get all the money the Bush Administration is “borrowing” from government coffers and who’s going to pay for it – the above history is more than ominous.

Considering that during the 1980s, under the pretext of fighting a Sandinista regime in Nicaragua that never once launched an attack on the U.S., these same people oversaw an explosion in U.S. cocaine consumption that went from 80 metric tons in 1979 to 600 metric tons in 1989 – considering that the CIA trained and equipped death squads that tortured and murdered hundreds of thousands of people from Guatemala to Panama – considering that these same people have brutalized Iraq, leaving portions of it radioactively contaminated by depleted uranium for the next 4 billion years and causing a fivefold increase in the number of childhood leukemia cases amidst a starving population, one can only wonder what they will produce for the world now given the context of the World Trade Center attacks.

Al-Qaida

by on June 7th, 2010

Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that “Al Qaeda” is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Courtesy of World Affairs, a journal based in New Delhi, WMR can bring you an important excerpt from an Apr.-Jun. 2004 article by Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence.

Wayne Madsen Report


“I first heard about Al-Qaida while I was attending the Command and Staff course in Jordan. I was a French officer at that time and the French Armed Forces had close contacts and cooperation with Jordan . . .

“Two of my Jordanian colleagues were experts in computers. They were air defense officers. Using computer science slang, they introduced a series of jokes about students’ punishment.

“For example, when one of us was late at the bus stop to leave the Staff College, the two officers used to tell us: ‘You’ll be noted in ‘Q eidat il-Maaloomaat’ which meant ‘You’ll be logged in the information database.’ Meaning ‘You will receive a warning . . .’ If the case was more severe, they would used to talk about ‘Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.’ Meaning ‘the decision database.’ It meant ‘you will be punished.’ For the worst cases they used to speak of logging in ‘Al Qaida.’

“In the early 1980s the Islamic Bank for Development, which is located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, like the Permanent Secretariat of the Islamic Conference Organization, bought a new computerized system to cope with its accounting and communication requirements. At the time the system was more sophisticated than necessary for their actual needs.

“It was decided to use a part of the system’s memory to host the Islamic Conference’s database. It was possible for the countries attending to access the database by telephone: an Intranet, in modern language. The governments of the member-countries as well as some of their embassies in the world were connected to that network.

“[According to a Pakistani major] the database was divided into two parts, the information file where the participants in the meetings could pick up and send information they needed, and the decision file where the decisions made during the previous sessions were recorded and stored. In Arabic, the files were called, ‘Q eidat il-Maaloomaat’ and ‘Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.’ Those two files were kept in one file called in Arabic ‘Q eidat ilmu’ti’aat’ which is the exact translation of the English word database. But the Arabs commonly used the short word Al Qaida which is the Arabic word for “base.” The military air base of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is called ‘q eidat ‘riyadh al ‘askariya.’ Q eida means “a base” and “Al Qaida” means “the base.”

“In the mid-1980s, Al Qaida was a database located in computer and dedicated to the communications of the Islamic Conference’s secretariat.

“In the early 1990s, I was a military intelligence officer in the Headquarters of the French Rapid Action Force. Because of my skills in Arabic my job was also to translate a lot of faxes and letters seized or intercepted by our intelligence services . . . We often got intercepted material sent by Islamic networks operating from the UK or from Belgium.

“These documents contained directions sent to Islamic armed groups in Algeria or in France. The messages quoted the sources of statements to be exploited in the redaction of the tracts or leaflets, or to be introduced in video or tapes to be sent to the media. The most commonly quoted sources were the United Nations, the non-aligned countries, the UNHCR and . . . Al Qaida.

“Al Qaida remained the data base of the Islamic Conference. Not all member countries of the Islamic Conference are ‘rogue states’ and many Islamic groups could pick up information from the databases. It was but natural for Osama Bin Laden to be connected to this network. He is a member of an important family in the banking and business world.

“Because of the presence of ‘rogue states,’ it became easy for terrorist groups to use the email of the database. Hence, the email of Al Qaida was used, with some interface system, providing secrecy, for the families of the mujaheddin to keep links with their children undergoing training in Afghanistan, or in Libya or in the Beqaa valley, Lebanon. Or in action anywhere in the battlefields where the extremists sponsored by all the ‘rogue states’ used to fight. And the ‘rogue states’ included Saudi Arabia. When Osama bin Laden was an American agent in Afghanistan, the Al Qaida Intranet was a good communication system through coded or covert messages.

Meet “Al Qaeda”

“Al Qaida was neither a terrorist group nor Osama bin Laden’s personal property . . . The terrorist actions in Turkey in 2003 were carried out by Turks and the motives were local and not international, unified, or joint. These crimes put the Turkish government in a difficult position vis-a-vis the British and the Israelis. But the attacks certainly intended to ‘punish’ Prime Minister Erdogan for being a ‘toot tepid’ Islamic politician.

” . . . In the Third World the general opinion is that the countries using weapons of mass destruction for economic purposes in the service of imperialism are in fact ‘rogue states,” specially the US and other NATO countries.

” Some Islamic economic lobbies are conducting a war against the ‘liberal” economic lobbies. They use local terrorist groups claiming to act on behalf of Al Qaida. On the other hand, national armies invade independent countries under the aegis of the UN Security Council and carry out pre-emptive wars. And the real sponsors of these wars are not governments but the lobbies concealed behind them.

“The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive the ‘TV watcher’ to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in making money.”

In yet another example of what happens to those who challenge the system, in December 2001, Maj. Pierre-Henri Bunel was convicted by a secret French military court of passing classified documents that identified potential NATO bombing targets in Serbia to a Serbian agent during the Kosovo war in 1998. Bunel’s case was transferred from a civilian court to keep the details of the case classified. Bunel’s character witnesses and psychologists notwithstanding, the system “got him” for telling the truth about Al Qaeda and who has actually been behind the terrorist attacks commonly blamed on that group. It is noteworthy that that Yugoslav government, the government with whom Bunel was asserted by the French government to have shared information, claimed that Albanian and Bosnian guerrillas in the Balkans were being backed by elements of “Al Qaeda.” We now know that these guerrillas were being backed by money provided by the Bosnian Defense Fund, an entity established as a special fund at Bush-influenced Riggs Bank and directed by Richard Perle and Douglas Feith.

French officer Maj. Pierre-Henri Bunel, who knew the truth about “Al Qaeda” — Another target of the neo-cons

————————————————

On the day after the July 7th, 2005 bombings on London transport, former foreign secretary Robin Cook MP wrote what turned out to behis penultimate newspaper column for the Guardian.  In it he revealed something about al-Qaeda that perhaps he shouldn’t have.

Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies.  Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.

Al-Qaida, literally “the database”, was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians. Inexplicably, and with disastrous consequences, it never appears to have occurred to Washington that once Russia was out of the way, Bin Laden’s organisation would turn its attention to the west.

As far as I know, this was the first time publicly, in the anglophone world, that the al-Qaeda name had been explained as referring to a computer database.

In the francophone world, a colourful former French military intelligence officer, Pierre-Henri Bunel, had had a book published in 2004, “Proche-Orient, une guerre mondiale?“, extracts of which appeared [in French] on a French conspiracy website.  The extract went into some detail of how al-Qaeda originally referred to a computer database of Islamist fighters.  But, AFAIK, it was not untilafter Robin Cook had revealed the same in the Guardian, and after his death a month later, that an English translation of Bunel’s words appeared on the web.  It’s a rough translation, which doesn’t read well.  But the basic outline of his account accords with what Cook had revealed.

Here’s my suspicion:  that Robin Cook knew nothing about P-H Bunel’s book or article, and that his knowledge of the origin of the Qaeda name stemmed solelyfrom his time at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.  In other words, that both men had, independently of each other, revealed that, as they understood it, the designation ‘al-Qaeda’ had originally referred to a computer database.  And, according to Bunel, that that name had been operative at least by the mid-’80s.

But yesterday MI5 the government published its ‘narrative’ of the July 7th bombings [.pdf].  Annex 3 of the whitewash was a chronology of the development of modern jihadism.  Extract:

c1984 Radical preacher Abdullah Azzam set up an organisation called Maktab al-Khidmat (MAK) “Bureau of Services” to disseminate propaganda about jihad in Afghanistan.  Usama bin Laden (UbL) joins.

1989 Withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan.  UbL returns to Saudi Arabia.  Decision by MAK to continue to support jihadist causes.  Thinking around “the base” or “foundation” (translation: Al Qaida) for further operations articulated.

1988-89 UbL disagreement over focus of the cause and starts to form Al Qaida. [...]

So, MI5’s version of the aetiology of the ‘Qaeda’ name makes no mention of computer databases, or its use by western intelligence agencies before 1989, and it repeats previous explanations as to its origins.  So, either Cook and Bunel were wrong, or they were right but wrong to reveal it.  And while Bunel is a peripheral figure lacking credibility, Robin Cook was neither.

When I first read Cook’s July 8th article, and the zinger about ‘al-Qaeda’ as a database, I wondered about what secret he might reveal to us next.  But now I wonder about what, say, MI6 thought about the possibility of the former foreign secretary, who had signed the Official Secrets Act for life, revealing other things that he shouldn’t (if, that is, the database story were true).  Then, it would have become a matter of national security.  How could they prevent him from repeating his mistake?  Could they have had him arrested and charged under the OSA?  Did they try to speak to him, between July 8th and August 6th, 2005, to warn him as to his future conduct?

If Robin Cook was starting to spill secrets, his sudden death one month later would have saved the defence, intelligence and security services from having to confront a difficult problem, one which would have had no obvious, certain solution.

Näkymätön hallitus

by on June 6th, 2010

senaattori Daniel K. Inouye:

On olemassa varjohallitus, jolla on omat ilmavoimansa, oma laivastonsa, oma varainhankintamekanisminsa ja kyky ajaa omia ideoitaan kansallisista eduista, vapaana kaikista rajoituksista ja tarkastuksista, vapaama laista itsestään.

Presidentti Theodore Roosevelt:

Näennäisen hallituksen takana istuu näkymätön hallitus, joka ei ole uskollinen kansalle eikä tunnusta olevansa vastuussa sille. Tämän näkymättömän hallituksen tuhoaminen ja korruptoituneen liike-elämän ja politikan välisen epäpyhän liiton rikkominen on nykyajan valtiomiesten tärkein tehtävä.

Presidentti Woodrow Wilson:

On olemassa valta, joka on niin organisoitunut, niin hienovarainen, niin tarkkaileva, niin kaikkialle tunkeutuva, niin yhteen kytkeytynyt, ettei kannata kuin korkeintaan kuiskata jos puhuu siitä tuomitsevaan sävyyn.

Presidentti Dwight D. Eisenhower:

Meidän ei tule koskaan antaa tämän uuden keskittymän vaarantaa vapauksiamme tai demokraattisia prosessejamme. Emme saa pitää mitään itsestään selvänä, vain valpas ja tiedostava kansa voi rauhanomaisin menetelmin ja tavoittein pitää kurissa valtavan teollisen ja sotilaallisen koneiston, niin että turvallisuus ja vapaus voivat kukoistaa yhdessä.

David Rockefeller Bilderberg ryhmän kokouksessa 1991:

Olemme kiitollisia Washington Postille, The New York Timesille, Time Magazinelle ja muille julkaisuille, joiden johtajat ovat osallistuneet kokouksiimme ja kunnioittaen lupauksiaan valtiolosta lähes neljäkymmentä vuotta… Meille olisi mahdotonta kehittää suunnitelmaamme maailmasta, jos meihin olisi kohdistettu julkisuuden valokeila näinä vuosina.
Mutta maailma on nyt kehittyneempi ja valmiimpi siirtymään kohti maailmanhallitusta. Valistuneen eliitin ja kansainvälisten pankkiirien ylikansallinen valta on varmasti parempi kuin kansallinen itsenäisyys, jota harjoitettiin menneinä vuosisatoina.

Yhteenveto Hannu Yli-Karjanmaan kirjasta valtiot ja terrorismi ( kirjan kaksi ensimmäistä lukua!)

Terrorismi (ransk. terrorisme, latinankielisestä sanasta terrere, ‘aiheuttaa kauhua, pelotella’) on lainvastaista yksilön tai ryhmän harjoittamaa voimankäyttöä tai väkivaltaa henkilöä tai omaisuutta vastaan, jonka tarkoitus on pelotella tai pakottaa hallitusta, siviiliväestöä tai segmenttiä edsistääkseen poliittisia tai sosiaalisia tavoitteita. Koska sanaa käytetään yleensä kuvaamaan ei-valtiollisten tahojen toimintaa, niin sanottu valtioterrorismi rajataan usein sen ulkopuolelle.
Terrorismia käytetään perusteluna lainsäädännön ja ulkopolitiikan suurille muutoksille demokraatiisissa pidetyissä maissa.
Onko kuva ylivoimaa vastaan iskevistä köyhistä terroristeista realistinen? Toisella puolella on käytännössä rajattomat taloudelliset ja inhimilliset resurssit ja toisella puolella katkeruutta, fanaattisuutta ja alkeellisia aseita, kuten syyskuun 11:nnen paperiveitset. Rajoittamattomat taloudelliset voimavarat antavat mahdollisuuden käytää planeetan parhaita aivoja ja manipuloida ja käyttää hyödyksi niitä köyhiä, jotka vastustavat järjestelmää. Tästä näkökulmasta heikkojen sota vahvoja vastaan on terrorismin luonnehdintana toivottoman romanttinen ja lapsellinen ja perustuu pinnalliseen tarkasteluun ja valtioitten itsensä tarjoaman tiedon  kunnioittamiseen.
Monet terroristijärjestöt ovat verrattavissa palkkasotilaisiin. Ne muodostavat hämärän verkoston, joka erottamattomasti kytkeytyy rikollisuuden ja tiedustelupalveluiden alamaailmaan. Usein on mahdontonta määritellä mille taholle tai kenen agendaa se toteuttaa. Tämä johtuu siitä, että järjestöt ovat säännönmukaisesti tiedustelujärjestöjen soluttamia. Tiedustelun, vakoilun ja vastavakoilun maailmassa mikään ei ole sitä miltä se päällisinpuolin näyttää.
Tiedustelujärjestöt ovat ammattilaisia soluttautumaan ja kaappaamaan terroristijärjestöjä.  Alkuperäisten johtajien vangitseminen koordinoiduilla poliisioperaatioilla soluttautuneiden agenttien antamien tietojen avulla mahdollistaa ryhmän kaappauksen ja sitä voi käyttää sen jälkeen omiin tarkoituksiin. Viitteitä tällaiseen antaa Euroopassa Italian punaiset prikaatit ja Saksan  punainen armeijakunta.Terroristi järjestöjen rivijäsenet koostuu yleensä yksinkertaisista kiihkoilijoista, jotka ovat otollista maaperää provokaatioagenttien  johdettaviksi.
Meillä on tietynlainen kuva maailmasta jossa elämme. Kulttuuripiirimme näyttäytyy meille pohjimmiltaan hyväntahtoisena. Viranomaiset, poliisi, turvallisuus- ja tiedustelupalvelut toimivat kansalaisten hyödyksi eivätkö ainakaan toimi oman maansa kansalaisia vastaan. Tämän maailmankuvan vastainen tieto aiheuttaa psyykeessämme voimakkaan torjunnan. Haluamme säilyttää maailmankuvamme eheänä ja uskomme länsimaisten yhteiskuntien oikeamielisyyteen. Historiamme ei tosin anna tälle lapsenuskolle minkäänlaisia perusteita.
Terrorin elementi on aina kuulunut oleellisena osana kaikkeen sodankäyntiin. Kautta aikojen sodissa on pyritty pelottelemaan vihollisen siviiliväestöä ja myös sotilaita. Pelko lamauttaa, saa pakenemaan ja luopumaan vastarinnasta. Toisaalta koettu terrori voi lujittaa päättäväisyyttä ja jatkaa taistelua. Ihminen joka on jo menettänyt kaiken, ei pelkää uhrata henkeään taistelussa.
Poltetun maan taktiikka ja joukkomurhat ovat kuuluneet erityisesti siirtomaasotiin olennaisena osana. Esimerkiksi Britit käyttivät vuosina 1899-1902 buurisodassa armotonta taktiikkaa, jossa sissisotaan siirtyneitä buureja tukeneen väestön elinolot tuhottiin polttamalla sadot ja asumukset ja myrkyttämällä kaivot. Itse väestö siirrettiin keskitysleireihin. Täysin samanlaista taktiikkaa käytti Yhdysvallat Filippiineillä samoin vuosina.
Yksi propagandan rutiiniomaisesti toistama taikasana on “itsemurhaisku”. Teko muuttuu tällöin automaattisesti äärimuslimin toteuttamaksi terroriteoksi, vaikka yleensä ei ole mitään näyttöä siitä, että esimerkiksi pommin autolla kohteeseen ajanut henkilö olisi ollut itsemurhaterroristi. Usein ei ole mahdollista sulkea pois kaukolaukaisun tai ajastimen käyttöä.
Autolla suoritettava itsemurhaisku muuten muistuttaa mielenkiintoisella tavalla Britannian tiedustelun Pohjois-Irlannin terroristeille kehittämää elävän pommin menetelmää, jossa terroristit pakottavat siviilihenkilön ajamaan pommiauton kohteeseen. Myös Irakissa on havaittu varsin mielenkiintoisia “itsemurhaiskuja”.
Nykyaikana entistä useampi uutinen on pelkkä etukäteen suunniteltu mediaoperaatio. Esimerkkeinä tällaisesta Yhdysvaltojen Irakin operaation aikana tapahtuneet Jessica Lyncin vapautus ja Saddamin patsaan kaataminen. Hollywood elokuva Wag The Dog kuvaa tämän kaltaista informaatiosodankäyntiä, jonka painoarvo on viime vuosina nopeasti lisääntynyt.
Historioitsija Webster Griffin Tarpley kiteytti asian valtioterrorismista näin: Torjun sen naivin eli sosioliginsen selityksen terrorismille, että kurjuus, sorto ja epätoivo synnyttävät terrorijärjestöjä, jotka antavat spontaanin ilmaisun näille tunteille. Me elämme aikaa, jona valtavat, kaikkialle levittäytyvät toedusteluoprganisaatiot – CIA, FBI, MI6 FSB(KGB) Mossad BND SPECE SISMI ja muut niiden kaltaiset – manipulopivat poliittista ja yhteiskunnallista todellisuutta jatkuvasti.


Terrorismin yhteydessä voidaan puhua psykologisesta sodan käynnistä, joka on painopistealue suurvalloille. Terrori-iskussahan kohteena eivät ole uhriksi joutuneet ihmiset vaan väestö jota teko järkyttää.
Terrorismi on massojen manipulointia. Se on suunniteltua toimintaa jolla pyritään tarkoin määriteltyihin tavoitteisiin. Kyseessä ei ole fanaatikkojen irrationaalinen toiminta vaikka julkisuuteen usein tällainen kuva välittyykin.
Mitä järkyttävämpi terroriteko, sitä dramaattisempi reaktio kohdepopulaatiossa. Yksi pommi-isku saa aikaan paikallisen vaikutuksen, yhtäaikaisten pommi-iskujen sarja saa aikaan koko maan kattavan vaikutuksen, ja suurkaupunkiin kohdistuva äärimmäisen näyttävä isku, kuten syyskuun 11., saa aikaan maailmanlaajuisen vaikutuksen. Näin synnytetään propagandalle otollinen maaperä, johon haluttu viesti voidaan kirjoittaa ilman torjuntaa. Järkyttävä terroriteko saa ihmiset reagoimaan tunnetasolla  ja kytkemään pois rationaalisen ajattelun. Pintaan nousee vihan ja koston ajatuksia joita valtiojohdon on helppo hyödyntää.
Tämä on olennainen syy, miksi sodan aloittava suurvalta järjestää provokaation sodan perustelemiseksi. Provokaatio ei ainoastaan tarjoa “legitiimiä” syytä häykkäykseen, vaan se kenties tärkeämpi funktio on saattaa kansa vastaanottavaiseksi propagandalle, saillä menestyksekkäällä sodalla tulee aina olla kansan tuki.
Britannian pääministeri Tony Blair totesi The Timesille 17.7.2002: “Ollakseni rehellinen, ei olisi ollut mitään mahdollisuutta saada yleistä hyväksyntää Afganistanin kampanjalle ilman syyskyyn 11:ttä.”


Kumouksellisen liikkeen vastainen sota:

Tunnetusti paras keino kontrolloida oppositiota on johtaa sitä itse. Tästä syystä kaikki poliittisesti uhkaavat järjestöt pyritään soluttamaan varhaisessa vaiheessa. Hyvä esimerkki toiminnasta on FBI:n COINTELPRO-ohjelma vuosina -56-71.
Eräs FBI:n vainoamista toisinajattelijoiosta oli Martin Luther King.
Imperiumin hallitsemisen tehokkain periaate on hajoita ja hallitse, jolla pidetään provokatiivisten veritekojen avulla erilaiset väestöryhmät eripuraisina. Esimerkiksi Israelin tuki Hamasille tähtäsi PLO:n heikentämiseen tämän periaatteen mukaisesti. PLO:n ja Hamasin kannattajien väliset taistelut kertovat taktiikan tehokkuudesta.
Syyskuun 11:nnen tapahtumat Yhdysvalloissa synnyttivät maassamme uuden tutkijoiden ryhmän; terrorismitutkijat. Terrorismi on koettu ilmiöksi, josta tarvitaan lisää tietoa ja siten myös rahoitusta on ollut saatavilla. Moni nuori tutkija onkin erikoistunut tähän aiheesen. Terrorismin tutkimuksessa on kuitenkin sisäänrakennettuna sudenkuoppia, joihin tutkijoiden on helppoa ja miellyttävää langeta.
Terrorismi on ilmiö, joka on suurvaltojen propagandasodan polttopisteessä ja tämä asettaa suuria paineita ja odotuksia myös tutkijoiden työlle. Aihe on korostetun poliittinen ja kriittisen puolueettoman otteen säilyttäminen tutkimustyössä lienee hyvin vaikeaa, etenkin kun otetaan huomioon rahoittajien mahdolliset intressit. Suurvaltojen virallista tiedotusta myötäilevästä linjasta poikkeaminen näyttää olevan vaikeaa.

Vihollisen nimissä tehdyissä hyökkäyksissä

ei ole mitään uutta

Kansalaisten enemmistöä on vaikea saada hyväksymään itsensä tai lastensa tapattamista valtion valtapyrkimysten vuoksi, joten hyökkäyssodat on väärennettävä puolustukselliseksi. Hitlerin valtaannousua junailleen valtakunnanmarsalkka Hermann Göringin mukaan sotavalmius voidaan luoda seuraavasti: ”Se on helppoa. Riittää, kun kerrotaan ihmisille, että heitä vastaan on hyökätty ja tuomitaan rauhantekijät epäisänmaallisesta toiminnasta, joka saattaa maan vaaraan.”

Sotia on siksi tavallista aloittaa provosoimalla vastapuolta tahallaan tai sitten lavastetulla tai luulotellulla hyökkäyksellä, josta syytetään vihollista. Suomalaisille tuttu tapaus on Neuvostoliiton 26.11.1939 ampumiksi osoitetut Mainilan laukaukset, joista se syytti Suomea ja joita se käytti verukkeena talvisodan aloittamiseen.

Valtiopäivätalon poltosta seurannut kiihko ja poikkeustila mahdollistivat natsien diktatuurin pystyttämisen. Hitler perusteli Puolan miehistystä väitteellä, että puolalaiset olivat hyökänneet saksalaista radioasemaa vastaan. Todellisuudessa saksalaiset itse lavastivat tämän hyökkäyksen mm. puolalaiseen univormuun puetun keskitysleirivangin avulla.
Myös USA on aloittanut monet sotansa tämän tyyppisten verukkeiden pohjalla. Tunnetuin esimerkki on Tonkinin lahden välikohtaus, jota käytettiin perusteena Vietnamin sodan aloittamiseen. Julkistetut asiakirjat todistavat, ettei pohjoisvietnamilainen torpedoalus todellisuudessa koskaan hyökännyt amerikkalaista hävittäjää vastaan.
Esimerkin epäonnistuneesta lavastetusta operaatiosta tarjoaa amerikkalaisen tiedustelulaiva USS Libertyn tapaus. Israel hyökkäsi kuuden päivän sodan aikana vuonna 1967 tätä kansainvälisillä vesillä ollutta alusta vastaan hävittäjin ja torpedoin ja sen radioliikennettä häiriten. Hyökkäys kesti tuntikausia. Lähistöllä olleelta amerikkalaiselta lentotukialukselta lähetettiin hävittäjiä puolustamaan USS Libertyä. Ne kuitenkin kutsuttiin takaisin presidentti Lyndon B. Johnsonin määräyksestä. Jos alus olisi uponnut, siitä olisi syytetty Egyptiä, johon Yhdysvallat oli valmistautunut hyökkäämään. Neuvostoliittolaisen vakoilualuksen ilmaantuminen tarkkailemaan hyökkäystä sai kuitenkin israelilaiset vetäytymään, ja USS Liberty pääsi omiensa luokse turvaan. Kymmenittäin merimiehiä kuoli hyökkäyksessä, ja eloonjääneet komennettiin vaikenemaan. Virallisesti tapaus sovittiin “erehdykseksi”.
Pommi-isku berliiniläiseen La Belle -diskoon vuonna 1986, jossa kuoli kaksi amerikkalaista sotilasta, tarjosi USA:lle tekosyyn Libyan pommituksiin. Vuonna 1998 esitetyssä saksalaisessa TV-dokumentissa osoitettiin, että monet epäillyistä olivat CIA:n ja Mossadin agentteja.

Italiassa, Belgiassa ja Sveitsissä yritettiin selvittää näitä tapahtumia parlamentaaristen tutkimuskomiteoiden avulla, mutta tulokset jäivät vaatimattomiksi: tutkimukset kohtasivat vaikenemisen muurin maiden tiedustelupalveluiden vedotessa mm. vaitiolosopimuksiinsa CIA:n kanssa.
Tiedonvapauslain nojalla julkisuuteen saadut asiakirjat kertovat, että vuonna 1962 USA suunnitteli kuubalaisten nimissä tehtyjä terroritekoja, joilla saataisiin syy hyökätä Kuubaan. Tämä “Operaatio Northwoods” olisi sisältänyt mm. kuubalaispakolaisten veneen upottamisen, amerikkalaisen matkustajakoneen kaappauksen ja amerikkalaisen matkustajakoneen alasampumisen vale-Migillä. Jo 1960-luvun alkupuolella siis suunniteltiin lähes syyskuun 11:nnen laajuista operaatiota.
