The Generals' Revolt
by Patrick J. Buchanan

In just two weeks, six retired U.S. Marine and Army
generals have denounced the Pentagon planning for the
war in Iraq and called for the resignation or firing of
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, who travels
often to Iraq and supports the war, says that the generals
mirror the views of 75 percent of the officers in the
field, and probably more.

This is not a Cindy Sheehan moment.

This is a vote of no confidence in the leadership of the
U.S. armed forces by senior officers once responsible for
carrying out the orders of that leadership. It is hard to
recall a situation in history where retired U.S. Army and
Marine Corps generals, almost all of whom had major
commands in a war yet underway, denounced the civilian
leadership and called on the president to fire his
secretary for war.

As those generals must be aware, their revolt cannot but
send a message to friend and enemy alike that the U.S. high
command is deeply divided, that U.S. policy is floundering,
that the loss of Iraq impends if the civilian leadership at
the Pentagon is not changed.

The generals have sent an unmistakable message to Commander
in Chief George W. Bush: Get rid of Rumsfeld, or you will
lose the war.

Columnist Ignatius makes that precise point:

"Rumsfeld should resign because the administration is
losing the war on the home front. As bad as things are in
Baghdad, America won't be defeated there militarily. But
it may be forced into a hasty and chaotic retreat by mount-
ing domestic opposition to its policy. Much of the American
public has simply stopped believing the administration's
arguments about Iraq, and Rumsfeld is a symbol of that
credibility gap. He is a spent force ..."

With the exception of Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, the former
head of Central Command who opposed the Bush-Rumsfeld rush
to war, the other generals did not publicly protest until
secure in retirement. Nevertheless, they bring imposing
credentials to their charges against the defense secretary.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton, first of the five rebels to speak
out, was in charge of training Iraqi forces until 2004.
He blames Rumsfeld for complicating the U.S. mission by
alienating our NATO allies.

Marine Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold, director of operations
for the Joint Chiefs up to the eve of war, charges
Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith with a
"casualness and swagger that are the special province of
those who have never had to execute these missions – or
bury the results."

Maj. Gen. John Batiste, who commanded the Army's 1st
Division in Iraq, charges that Rumsfeld does not seek
nor does he accept the counsel of field commanders. Maj.
Gen. John Riggs echoes Batiste. This directly contradicts
what President Bush has told the nation.

Maj. Gen. Charles J. Swannack, former field commander of
the 82nd Airborne, believes we can create a stable
government in Iraq, but says Rumsfeld has mismanaged the
war.

As of Good Friday, the Generals' Revolt has created a
crisis for President Bush. If he stands by Rumsfeld,
he will have taken his stand against generals whose
credibility today is higher than his own.

But if he bows to the Generals' Revolt and dismisses
Rumsfeld, the generals will have effected a Pentagon
putsch. An alumni association of retired generals will
have dethroned civilian leadership and forced the commander
in chief to fire the architect of a war upon which not only
Bush's place in history depends, but the U.S. position in
the Middle East and the world. The commander in chief will
have been emasculated by retired generals. The stakes could
scarcely be higher.

Whatever one thinks of the Iraq war, dismissal of Rumsfeld
in response to a clamor created by ex-generals would mark
Bush as a weak if not fatally compromised president. He
will have capitulated to a generals' coup. Will he then
have to clear Rumsfeld's successor with them?

Bush will begin to look like Czar Nicholas in 1916.

And there is an unstated message of the Generals' Revolt.
If Iraq collapses in chaos and sectarian war, and is
perceived as another U.S. defeat, they are saying: We are
not going to carry the can. The first volley in a "Who
Lost Iraq?" war of recriminations has been fired.

In 1951, Gen. MacArthur, the U.S. commander in Korea,
defied Harry Truman by responding to a request from GOP
House leader Joe Martin to describe his situation.
MacArthur said the White House had tied his hands in
fighting the war.

Though MacArthur spoke the truth and the no-win war in
Korea would kill Truman's presidency, the general was
fired. But MacArthur was right to speak the truth about
the war his soldiers were being forced to fight, a war
against a far more numerous enemy who enjoyed a privileged
sanctuary above the Yalu river, thanks to Harry Truman.

In the last analysis, the Generals' Revolt is not just
against Rumsfeld, but is aimed at the man who appointed
him and has stood by him for three years of a guerrilla
war the Pentagon did not predict or expect.

[b]Is Western North America being Targeted by Scalar Weapons? [/b]
Posted on March 28, 2006



A short context preface for the following article:


http://standeyo.com/NEWS/06_USA/060328. ... rance.html


Allstate Insurance Co., battered over the past 15 months by seven of the 10 most-expensive catastrophes in the company's history, is taking steps to reduce its exposure to disasters by discontinuing writing residential and commercial earthquake coverage in most of the nation, including Ohio . The company also is planning to shed some of the 407,000 earthquake policies it has in force nationwide.

"What we're doing is a prudent action to reduce property exposure to catastrophic events," Karen Spica, a spokeswoman for the Chicago-based company, told Business First.

Oh great… Now I am glad I am insured with State Farm!

http://www.millennium-ark.net/Reports/0 ... o.EQs.html The following is from Stan Deyo’s earthquake/earth changes forecasting site:

A major quake threat for the Indonesian region. This is the SAME area as the 9.2 shaker of December 26, 2004. It is a BIG signal.

Offshore seismic indicators from west of the Baja northwards to the tip of the Juan de Fuca region are mounting. Movement of the pressure zones there point to more of a southern Californian flurry.

Now that we have moved past the vernal equinox last week and now have today’s Middle Eastern total solar eclipse, a part of saros eclipse cycle 139 behind us, we can begin to look beyond these dates which historically, whether accurately or not, have been viewed as harbingers of events yet to come. Across the globe chatter persists that something big is lurking. This upcoming time frame may yield not just one major event but maybe a series of smaller events bound together by tight temporal placement. The emotional state of humans on this planet is wound up tight in anticipation!






Scalar EM activities persist across many global tectonics plates but seem to be more tightly focused on the Pacific Ring of Fire plus additional energy’s in southern and . Important earthquakes continue to be edited out of the USGS’s own data. This action is both curious and un-ethical.

Some West Coast faults have been cleaned out of these accumulated scalar energies twice before during the past 36-39 months, and this action by some benevolent force may yet happen once again. This is an unknowable variable. On one occasion the energies were swept southward to lower latitudes resulting in volcanism in southern Mexico in '03-04 then northward resulting in earthquake swarms off the Pacific Northwest Coast earlier last year. So, twice already California has had its earthquake risk greatly reduced.

The Big Alaskan Denali quake, M 7.9 November 3, 2002, resonated with the Yellowstone caldera beginning a disruption of some measure to that volcanic system.

http://www.sg.geophys.ethz.ch/aes/steph ... enali.html

Strong surface waves from the M7.9 Denali fault earthquake, Alaska, and 3100 to 3150 km distant, had a profound impact on the world-renowned hydrothermal systems of Yellowstone National Park . Coincident with the arrival of the large amplitude surface waves, intense earthquake swarms were remotely triggered throughout Yellowstone ’s major geyser basins. In addition, pronounced changes in the eruption behavior of several geysers were observed throughout the park. These changes may be explained by the interaction between large dynamic strains accompanying the Denali fault earthquake surface waves and hydrothermal fluids of the major geyser basins at Yellowstone National Park .

This planet is on the edge. Let us hope, for those of us that live in the Pacific Northwest that the action begins or remains at the far western, the Asian, portion of the Ring of Fire. Past seismic records have nearly always record that these events kick off a chain reaction series of events. We will not know for certain the when and where until the process begins. However, once that begins...

Preparations for an interruption of municipal services are almost too obvious to mention. Do you remember what happened in New Orleans ? These people had three days to get their act together! Yet once the storm was done and the levee’s breached or blown, chaos at varying levels of intensity was the result. With tectonic driven events there is no three days warning! We just don’t get to watch CNN as the event draws nearer in time. Earthquakes just happen. Pop. Simply there is before and then we have the aftermath. You are prepared, or you are not. http://www.ready.gov/

When as individuals, we are in-tune with our higher selves, and listening to the source, we will find that, we and sometimes the ones we care about, are all exactly where we need to be physically when these big events begin to unfold. It may well be that we see the activity confined to Asia and Indonesia this year with the really big events for North America confined to just weather events… and the major Earth changing actions may yet still be a couple of years down the road. All I am doing here is pointing out that man is having an effect in triggering some of these earthquakes much as Defense Secretary Cohen pointed out way back in 1997.

[b]As Americans are distracted by manufactured news of an impending attack on Iran or the baseless threat of a bird flu epidemic, a dedicated campaign of electronic scalar tectonic warfare is ongoing worldwide that will bring America to the brink of destruction.[/b]

Within months, and possibly weeks, the northwestern coast of the United States will experience a tectonic and volcanic cataclysm quite unlike any other in recorded history. In the process, millions of people will die or be injured. The American economy will be shaken to its very foundations. In the process, a draconian form of martial law will be declared that will make our once cherished institute of constitutional democracy a thing of the past.

What would you think if you were told that America was being subjected to a series of irregular, electronically induced scalar tectonic attacks? What if you were shown seismic waveforms with anomalies that do not correspond to normal earthquake activity? Most people would think those waveforms and the claims that preceded them were just a hoax. Unfortunately, what you are about to view is not a hoax.

The seismogram on the left is a typical, normal earthquake waveform. After the arrival of the P and S wave components, there is a normal damped vibration as the waveforms echo and settle.

On the right is a waveform that is different from a normal earthquake. After the event, there are no damped vibrations. This Octopus Mountain, Washington seismogram shows a brief series of large, bipolar spikes. After the last spike occurs, the seismogram resumes its trace as if nothing had happened. These spikes are evidence of an electronic scalar tectonic attack.

Does this mean that the ground at the event location shook during this event? No, it does not. If not, why are we seeing this trace? Don’t seismometers record ground movement?

Many seismometers currently in use detect earth movement using a suspended wire coil that is free to move in one axis. The wire coil sits around a permanent magnet that is mechanically coupled to the ground at the seismometer site. When the earth moves, the coil, because of the way in which it is suspended, does not move. Thus, only the magnet moves with relation to the earth. In doing so, the coil senses a momentary change in flux due to the movement of the magnet, and a small electrical current is induced into the coil. This signal is then electronically amplified and output as a seismogram. The recording shown on this and all the pages of this article are vertical axis recordings.

One of the signatures of a scalar tectonic attack is a change in the magnetic flux level of any magnet in the area where an attack is taking place. In the case of this seismograph, the scalar wave attack component has momentarily changed the flux level of the magnet that sits inside the pickup coil. The coil detects this change in flux and outputs a current in response. Thus what this seismograph is recording is not necessarily a seismic event; it is the dynamic change in the flux level of the magnet. This seismogram image is but one of many examples of a scalar tectonic attack.

The wire coil of a seismometer does not detect a scalar wave directly. This is because scalar waves by themselves do not induct current into a wire coil. It is the momentary change in the flux level of the seismograph magnet that is being detected. As an example, magnets have been known to slide off refrigerator doors before and during local earthquake events. The flux level in these magnets has been momentarily reduced, allowing gravity to take effect.

Scalar (or longitudinal) waves react quite differently than the transverse waves of our electrical world. This will be discussed in greater detail later to enable a more complete understanding of what is happening, but it is important to realize that they react differently than transverse waves.

In the seismogram from Pine Mountain, Oregon on the left, two anomalous events can be seen. Unlike the attack near Octopus Mountain, which was bipolar (moving above and below the event timeline) these scalar attacks move in a negative direction only. Both events shown are off scale and of short duration, with no after oscillations.

These are not normal seismic events. Can scalar waves like these create actual seismic events? Yes, they can.

In the seismogram from Green Mountain, Washington on the right, there is a series of anomalous spiked waveforms. Green Mountain is near the Mt. Baker volcano. Like the Pine Mountain attack, these waveforms are negative going monopolar waves that shoot off the bottom of the chart, and then return quickly to the timeline where they began.

The effect of these spikes is to create a build up or release of scalar energy in highly localized areas of tectonic stress. Tectonic plate margins, fault zones and volcanoes are all receivers and transmitters of scalar energy - by virtue of their basic nature.

The method of electronic transmission of scalar energy into tectonic plate margins, fault zones and volcanoes will be explained in detail later.

Remotely inducing scalar energy into tectonic plate margins, fault zones and volcanoes is within the capability of the present generation of scalar tectonic weapons. This capability produces an overwhelming offensive force that can wreak havoc on humankind and our planet.

Devices having this capability individually or in tandem are known by various acronyms, including HAARP, EISCAT, SPEAR, SOUSY, SUPERDARN and others. They are located in many nations around the world. Norway alone has over seven sites in the Svalbard Islands. It is devices such as these that are creating an electronically manufactured geological Armageddon.
Perhaps the best known of all these acronyms is the HAARP facility at Gakona, Alaska, shown on the right. This is an early photograph showing an array of 48 antennas. The facility now has 180 antennas installed and operational. There is a transmitter building for each group of 6 antennas, for a total of 30 transmitters. HAARP is referred to as an “atmospheric heater,” implying that it only transmits “up” and only heats the atmosphere. Your Acrobat viewer can zoom in close to view this and all the images in this article.

Note the distance between the antenna farm and the control building in the site picture.

While HAARP is promoted as a civilian science project, it is actually owned by the Department of Defense (DOD) and operated by the Navy and the Air Force. HAARP has long been suspected as being a weather control weapon that is used in conjunction with chemtrails. Various opponents cite HAARP as having mind control capabilities. HAARP is also a scalar tectonic weapon.

Effective radiated power estimates for this type of facility abound, and range up to three terrawatts at a single station. For some eye opening perspective, a terrawatt of electrical power is 1,000,000,000,000 watts. The average household light bulb consumes about 50-100 watts. A large electric home oven consumes around 3,500 watts.

There are eight advertised HAARP facilities on the North American continent. Another facility is located at Arecibo in Puerto Rico, and possibly one or more in the Hawaiian Islands. Other HAARP-like facilities may be present, but are operated at clandestine locations. There are far more atmospheric heater sites on our planet than most people realize. The pages that follow will give a sense of the extent of these facilities and the potential danger they represent.

Many of these devices are being used in an ongoing scalar war that few are aware of. The destruction that these devices are creating is being passed off as acts of nature. Mother Earth is taking the blame.
These two seismograms are from DAWY seismic station in Canada. The anomalous, bipolar spiked waveforms seen in these seismograms are clipped at both top and bottom as they exceed the range of this particular type of seismic instrument. DAWY is the nearest Canadian based seismographic station to Alaska based HAARP facilities.

EISCAT, another acronym known for “atmospheric heater” installations, has its own collection of remote facilities. These have a similar power rating to HAARP sites, although only four sites are publicly advertised. The heater facility shown on the left resides at Tromsø in Norway. There appears to be a rather large power station next to the antenna array. Remote facilities of this type cost a considerable amount of money to install, maintain and operate.

Another remotely located facility in Jicamarca, Peru. Note the large size of the antenna array at this station. Atmospheric heaters are typically placed in remote locations due to the vast amounts of radio frequency energy they radiate. The number of these facilities around the world is quite astounding. One possible reason for this is to have installations that are dispersed around the Earth to increase targeting capability. The logic for this will become evident later in a discussion of the uses of three separate transmitting stations to form a highly accurate scalar tectonic weapon.
CEDAR is advertised as “a broad-based, community-initiated, upper atmospheric research program. The goal is to understand the behavior of atmospheric regions from the middle atmosphere upward through the thermosphere and ionosphere into the exosphere in terms of coupling, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics on regional and global scales.” The CEDAR database includes 11 incoherent scatter radars, 23 coherent ionospheric radars and 101 middle atmosphere radars. That’s a lot of radars isn’t it? The map on the left shows the locations of 34 CEDAR facilities.

To the left is an atmospheric heater design for a new heater facility in Indonesia.

On the right is another atmospheric heater facility. This one is located in Japan

Just how many radar research facilities are actually needed to study the upper atmosphere?”

One answer would be the relative importance of this work to humankind. How many multi-million dollar research facilities are seeking to find a cure for cancer?

Another possible answer is that many of these atmospheric heater facilities are not for research at all. They are weapons facilities operating under the guise of “research.”
SUPERDARN has seventeen “research” facilities in the far northern and southern hemispheres. Countries that operate Superdarn radars include: USA, UK, France, Japan, Canada, Australia and South Africa. There are far more “research” radar sites on our planet than are needed for research. We are being deceived about these installations. Many of them are weapons of aggression that are being used in an ongoing scalar tectonic war.

For a scalar tectonic war scenario to make sense:

*
There must first be a conspiracy to carry out scalar tectonic warfare.
*
There must be one or more perpetrators and their lackeys to carry out the conspiracy.
*
The perpetrators must have access to scalar tectonic weaponry that is in the hands of various world governments.
*
By necessity, the perpetrators must have control over governments in order to access the scalar weaponry and/or
*
The conspirators have scalar weaponry of their own.

War in the traditional sense involves two or more factions in order to create a dispute that causes the war in the first place. Without dispute there is no need or excuse for war. Generally accepted examples of dispute include:

*
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, leading to World War I,
*
Germany’s invasion of Poland, leading to World War II,
*
The Tonkin Gulf incident, leading to the Vietnam War,
*
“Weapons of mass destruction” leading to the current war in Iraq.

There is much evidence to support the contention that all of the wars cited above are based on conspiracies manufactured by a small elite, hell-bent on financial enrichment and the eventual total domination of humankind.

A scalar war is different than any previous forms of war because it is covert, not based on a “dispute” and not readily identifiable as even being a war. The rare exception in the detection of scalar tectonic warfare is the property of longitudinal waves to alter the flux levels of magnets. As many seismometers use magnets, some can record these variations in flux level, depending on the way in which they are biased. In fact, anomalous seismographic examples are the only tangible evidence this article has to offer that scalar tectonic warfare is taking place.

Where before it was guns and bombs, now there is electronic technology available that allows for a new kind of war:

*
One that can do infinitely greater harm than previous weaponry
*
One that is essentially invisible
*
One that is relatively inexpensive
*
One that requires no dispute or adversary
*
One that can be conveniently blamed on Mother Nature

It is easy to see why this technology is attractive to an elite intent on dominating our planet - and taking a large percentage of the population out while doing it. A perfect example is the Andaman Island earthquake and tsunami of December 26, 2004. This event was created by the sudden vertical slip of over 1000km of tectonic plate margin. Peak vertical slip was up to 20 meters in some areas. Talk about a whack attack! There were no large aftershocks. The event took the lives of 217,000 innocent people, left millions of others homeless and caused billions of dollars in damage. This campaign was over within a matter of hours. Others to follow will end just as quickly and with even more spectacular results. When the giant waves settle, fingers will point at Mother Nature as the culprit.

The next target on the hit list is the western portion of the North American continent. In this campaign, work is afoot on several fronts since the goal is far greater destruction. Many “atmosphere heaters” are involved in this effort, but not in the atmosphere. The impending events will involve earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and the eruptions of possibly two gigantic calderas. The combined magnitude of all these events will be so great that it will bring down the nation of America and, quite frankly, change life on our planet forever. The attacks that will accomplish this have been ongoing for some time and the results of these efforts will soon reveal themselves with catastrophic consequences.

Like the Andaman Island earthquake, there is a buildup of energy required to achieve the desired and quite sudden result. The larger the target, the more time and energy are required. And, because of the nature of scalar tectonic attack mechanisms, there is little evidence that they are now taking place.

Fortunately, there are seismometers that can detect scalar tectonic attacks. If more people recognize that these unusual and anomalous waveforms signal the presence of scalar tectonic activity, then it is no longer covert warfare.

The Yellowstone caldera problem
The map of Yellowstone Park on the left is overlaid on a chart showing areas of peak acceleration ground movement (the rate of change of velocity of a reference point.)

The green arrows point to red colored areas of maximum acceleration, and hence the greatest danger. The blue arrow indicates the location of the Denny Creek (YDC) seismographic station. The red arrow indicates the location of the Yellowstone caldera (red line.)

The Yellowstone caldera is one of the most potentially dangerous locations in the United States.

Denny Creek sits in a tectonic jigsaw puzzle. It lies to the east of the Foreland thrust belt, to the west of the Cenozoic normal faults and the Yellowstone Caldera, to the north of the Snake River-Yellowstone volcanic rift and inside the Laramide belt. This can be seen in the map on the right.

The Yellowstone caldera itself is located inside the Laramide Belt and is laced with fault lines. Denny Creek would be an excellent location for the influence of scalar tectonic activity that could enhance or speed up the rotation of the Colorado plateau on which the Laramide Belt rests.

Note in the lower section of the map on the right that the Eular pole of relative rotation between the Colorado Plateau and the interior of North America is rotating clockwise from the point shown. Could scalar tectonic activity observed at Denny Creek help to speed up this rotation, thus pushing things along a lot faster than they might otherwise be?


Shown above is one week of seismograms from Denny Creek (YDC) near the western edge of Yellowstone Park from March 8-14 2006. These seismograms reveal the presence of many anomalous, spiked waveforms that are characteristic of scalar tectonic attacks. They can be seen individually on the less active seismograms of March 13-14. This is a mixture of positive going and negative going signals. There appears to be little or no other activity around the active band. It would seem that there are preferential time zones for these events. Are scalar attacks near Denny Creek being carried out on some kind of schedule?
On the right, an earthquake event is superimposed at the bottom of the March 14th seismogram for comparison. Earthquakes are due to earth movement; the spiked waveforms are due to scalar tectonic attacks. The visual difference is evident.

To the left is a close up of a section of this seismogram. The short duration of these spiked waveforms can be seen. They all appear to be clipped at about five divisions. Most of the waveforms in this example are positive going from the timeline on which they originate. Notice that there are no bipolar waveforms of the type associated with normal seismic events. These are not normal seismic waveforms.

Someone is trying to trigger an eruption of the Yellowstone caldera, and Denny Park appears to be one of the locations where they are attempting to do it.
The Mount Rainier problem

Mount Rainier is the highest volcano in the Cascade Range at 14,410 feet. It is regarded as America’s most dangerous volcano. During an eruption 3700 years ago, a lahar (or mud flow like a river of wet concrete) sent a wall of mud over one hundred feet high as far as the waters of Puget Sound. This is one of the largest known lahars in the world. Lahars are formed when the ice and snow on a volcano rapidly melt during eruption. Much of the lowland to the east of Tacoma and the south of Seattle is formed from the debris of Mt. Rainer. The last major eruption was 2200 years ago. The latest eruption was in 1882. US authorities are keeping a close watch on Mount Rainier as you read this.
Over thirty-six miles of glaciers cover Mount Rainier, including 92 x 106 cubic meters of ice and 4.4 x 109 cubic meters of snow. The plains over which a lahar will flow when Mt. Rainier next erupts are now essentially deforested, so there will be nothing to slow it down. It is estimated that Mount Rainier lahars can travel up to 50 mph, and will pose the single greatest danger in an eruption of Mount Rainer.


Classified as an explosive volcano, Mount Rainier can be expected to erupt violently, with hot gas and magma exploding out of the volcano in a shower of dust, ashes, cinders and volcanic bombs. There may be little or no warning, and with the prospect of lahars added into the equation, the lives of millions will be placed at risk. There simply may not be time to evacuate and many will die or be injured. The result could make hurricane Katrina look like a minor thunderstorm by comparison.

The Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network says the following about Mount Rainier: “In an average month, 1-5 well-located, high frequency earthquakes are recorded near the summit of Mt. Rainier. In addition, small swarms of 5-10 earthquakes over a 2-3 day period sometimes occur. All of these earthquakes are shallow, with most locating near sea level (~4 km below the summit), and are interpreted by Moran (1997) to be occurring in response to stresses associated with the circulation of hot fluids beneath Mount Rainier.” With these thoughts in mind, let us view some recent Mount Rainier seismograms. Do you have the picture of a nice calm seismogram with a few random jiggles in your mind?
The seismogram shown on the left is a composite of three days of activity during March 16-18 at Camp Shurman on Mount Rainier.

A transparent green line has been added to the seismogram to highlight an unusual series of waveforms. These appear to form a diagonal line that moves downward to the right. Each horizontal trace of the seismogram is ten minutes. The series of events forming the diagonal line occur every ten minutes and seven seconds with great regularity, hence the skewed appearance of these events. Each event lasts approximately eight seconds. Below is a close up of five such events. The odds of this happening randomly are on the order of trillions to one.

Within minutes after this diagonal series of anomalous waveforms begins, overall activity increases. After approximately three hours of this, the activity increases even more, and continues that way for over four hours. Then the activity drops to below the level that was present before the attack began. Five hours later, a new phase of increased activity begins.

Are these unusual waveforms the result of ground movement from scalar attacks or changes in the flux level of the seismometer magnet due to scalar attacks? Interesting question. Could these short events be some kind of calibration waveform? No, the standard calibration signal for Camp Shurman is shown to exact scale on the left.
The waveforms at Camp Sherman are different from those seen on other seismograms. In addition to short, individual spikes, we now see what look almost like short duration earthquakes. But, if you study the waveforms shown in the close up, it will be seen that most of the waveform are above their individual timelines, quite unlike most earthquakes. This author believes that the spiked waveforms are being used to induce varying degrees of scalar charge into fault zones. Some parts of a zone are being depleted of scalar energy and other parts are being charged up, since fault zones are natural scalar receivers and transmitters by virtue of their nature. The 8-second events on the diagonal line appear to be directly induced seismic events. Thus, at a convenient time, a ‘shaped’ earthquake is being set off to perform a particular function.
The waveforms seen in this seismogram are clearly anomalous. One simply does not find this kind of regularity and seismic ordering in nature. The waveform events that make up the unusual diagonal line may indeed be the result of tangible earth movement, but if so they are not like normal earthquake events because their waveforms don’t quite look like normal earthquakes. The regularity and uniformity of these events is a dead giveaway. How can events like this be considered normal? Your Acrobat viewer can zoom in close on all of these images.

The objective of the events taking place near Camp Shurman is to force the eruption of the Mount Rainier volcano. The electronic stimulation is on the volcano itself, and the process is ongoing. When will Mount Rainier erupt? Soon…

Many more anomalous seismic examples exist from different locations on the west coast of America and Canada. They are not included in this article for the sake of brevity.

The Long Valley caldera problem

The seismogram shown on the left is from the Sherwin Lakes (MSL) seismic station located near Mammoth Lake in California.

A diagonal anomaly reminiscent of the one in the Camp Shurman seismogram can be seen in the MSL seismogram. If fact, two diagonal anomalies can be seen. Two green lines indicate these. The waveforms themselves are quite unlike those seen at Camp Shurman, possibly due to differences in seismometer type or instrument biasing. An extracted sample that approximates the event waveforms can be seen on the right.

As seen in the MSL seismogram, after about seven hours of diagonally arrayed waveforms, activity increases, although the waves appear to reverse polarity during this period. The wave phase reverses again as activity decreases. The similarity of all the large waves on this seismogram rules out the possibility that they are normal seismic activity. Actually, the waveforms on this display do not look like seismic waves at all. It appears that the Long Valley caldera is undergoing scalar tectonic influence as well as the Yellowstone caldera.
One week of seismograms from Sherwin Lakes inside the Long Valley caldera of California from March 8-14 2006.
Seismograms from Mammoth Pass west of the Long Valley caldera of California from March 8-17 2006.
The Puget Sound problem

The Puget Sound is by itself a huge tectonic fault. With six major fault zones, the area is exceptionally prone to earthquakes. The major fault zones can be seen in the map at the left, indicated by purple lines. The brown areas are the locations of lahars from previous volcanic eruptions.

One of the most dangerous of the faults in this area is the Seattle Fault, running from Hood Canal through Puget Sound and South Seattle to Bellevue and Issaquah. Much of this fault is through highly populated areas. A red arrow indicates the fault zone.

Along the Seattle fault, a 6.8 earthquake struck Seattle and Puget Sound on February 28, 2001. The quake injured over two hundred people and caused more than one billion dollars in damage.

More large earthquakes will follow on this fault; it is just a matter of when. If someone wanted to create havoc, Puget Sound would be a convenient place to it.
The Seattle picture is made even more complex by the very active Juan de Fuca plate, as shown in the picture to the left. The red circles indicate earthquakes on and around the boundary of the plate during February 22-24. Notice the clustering of these events around plate margins. On March 25th, four earthquakes between 4.1 and 5.0 struck this plate.

Northwest of Puget Sound is Vancouver Island, and the town of Gold River. It is here that the GDR seismic station recorded highly unusual waveforms. But these have an entirely different set of patterns.
On March 22nd, the Gold River (GDR) seismic station recorded the four groups of anomalous waveforms shown on the left. Each event lasted just over two minutes, with about sixteen seconds between events. These are not calibration waveforms. A check of all available previous waveforms from this site revealed no other similarities or calibration waveforms that look like these.

The clipped waveforms shown here are different because the target in this case is not a volcano or a fault line. It is the Juan de Fuca plate itself that lies in the sights of a scalar tectonic weapon.

To the right is an insert of the GDR seismogram showing the clipped waveforms of two events. The frequency of these waveforms is approximately 0.18 Hz. They do not correspond to any standard calibration waveform. One can argue that earthquakes are bound to happen. This is a given. What is not a given are external forces that act to rapidly accelerate seismic events.

These linear, regular waveforms may have just that capability. The method used to do this will be explained in a moment.

What is the difference between dying from a natural earthquake event in five years and dying from the same event in the next two weeks? Fifty-eight weeks of your life. What is that worth to you?

If the waveforms being directed at the Juan de Fuca plate by a scalar tectonic weapon are at the resonant frequency of the plate, then areas near the plate margins, which are already under stress, are being influenced to either accept increased stress or change their modulus of elasticity. Either can result in massive seismic events.

To understand the term “modulus of elasticity”, it will be useful to explain an industrial process used to remove internal stresses in manufactured metallic parts. When a metal part is either machined or cast into a form, it develops internal stresses that can result in the distortion of the part or its early failure during use. The traditional method of relieving stress in metal parts is to treat them by heating to a plastic state, allowing the object’s molecules to reorient themselves, and then allowing them to cool slowly. This is an expensive, time consuming process. An alternative method is to mechanically vibrate the part at its natural resonant frequency, which changes its modulus of elasticity, making if softer, and allowing the object’s molecules to reorient, thereby eliminating internal stress. This same principle can be applied to tectonic plates.
Tectonic plate margins are areas of mechanical stress. By vibrating a tectonic plate at or near its natural resonant frequencies, the modulus of elasticity can be altered, changing stressed areas into a plastic state. The stress is then relieved through rapid (geologically speaking) movement. That is the purpose of the waveforms seen at GDR.

What usually happens when tectonic plates move rapidly with respect to each other?

*
Earthquakes and their resulting tsunamis
*
Volcanic eruptions
*
Death and destruction
*
Secondary effects including disease, famine, economic and even political disruption

A tectonic weapon is able to achieve all the results shown above in a localized and controlled fashion. It is in fact the perfect weapon for world conquest. But to be effective on something as large as a tectonic plate, it takes two or three scalar tectonic weapons operating in unison at the resonant frequency of the target. Tectonic plates are massive objects requiring tremendous amounts of energy to move, if you can imagine that as a possibility. While multiple scalar tectonic weapons operating at the resonant frequency of their target produce heretofore-unseen amounts of energy, they only have the capability at present to affect the movement of smaller tectonic plates. These are very small movements.

To understand this we can use some research that was conducted in artificially induced movement of the ionosphere of the Earth. The example shown is a simulation, but it is based on actual experiments. The graphic that follows is from:
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 110, A04216, doi:10.1029/2004JA010629, 2005


At the point marked by a red arrow, the ionosphere is stable. The dotted line shows a continuous transmission by a HAARP facility. Note that the ionosphere appears to start oscillating under the influence of the signal, and these oscillations continue to grow in amplitude up to some level and maintain it until transmission ceases. The total experiment time shown here is 900 seconds.

In this example, the experiment is repeated. Now a single HAARP signal is shown, producing essentially the same ionospheric effect. If the diagram were extended, the oscillation in the ionosphere would damp out and settle back to baseline. The result of this and the previous example allow the natural or resonant frequency of the ionosphere to be calculated.

In this example, the experiment is repeated. A series of HAARP signals are applied at discrete intervals that match resonant frequency of the ionosphere. Now the oscillation buildup is continuous. If the diagram were extended in time, it would reveal chaos.

In reality, such a resonant frequency experiment could produce a tear in the ionosphere allowing cosmic and solar energy that is normally attenuated by the ionosphere to strike the Earth below it. The effects of something like that happening are poorly understood, but the danger of doing it is not.

The examples above are based on the transmission of a signal from a single HAARP site at a frequency of 9 Mhz and a level of 83.4 dBW. HAARP’s current energy capabilities are far in excess of this.

Let’s extend this example to tectonic plates. While the ionosphere is a thin, tenuous item, tectonic plates are heavy, ponderous things; so much more energy is required. HAARP-like weapons can generate both transverse and longitudinal waves. Everyday radio and electrical transmissions use transverse waves. Tectonic weapons use longitudinal (or scalar) waves.
Here is a traditional diagram of a transverse electromagnetic wave. Propagation is at right angles to the direction of travel. Shown in the diagram are the two components of an electromagnetic wave: the E plane representing the electric field and the B plane representing the magnetic field. The E and B planes are at an angle of 90 degrees to each other.

Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves, creating compression and rarefaction of the air as they travel though it. The same is true of longitudinal waves in other media....

Israel's Self Deception

By Henry Makow Ph.D.
August 11, 2006
http://www.savethemales.ca

aaadelusion.jpg by Henry Makow Ph.D.

Jews are masters of propaganda, but ultimately self deception might prove their undoing. The same applies to Westerners who accept the distorted Zionist view of reality.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Israel "is fighting the terrorist arm of the megalomaniacal regime in Iran, which has openly proclaimed its ambition to commit genocide against the Jewish nation. If this were not enough, the same regime wants to dominate the Muslim world, and from that base, subdue the entire West."

Zionists can repeat the mantras "terrorist" and "right to self defence" but who are they fooling but themselves?

Self defence? Israel has lost about six people a year to Hezbollah since leaving Lebanon in May 2000. It loses almost 500 people due to traffic accidents annually. Israel exchanged prisoner with Hezbollah in 2004. Why not now?

Because this war is designed to advance the bogus "war of civilizations." Neo cons (a.k.a. Zionists) have grown impatient with the Iraq war and want it expanded. Israeli atrocities are designed to fan the flames. So are the apprehended "terrorist attacks" like the one in London Friday.

Lebanon is another front in the Iraq War. "We are fighting Iran and Syria," Olmert often says.

Young Israeli men are cannon fodder for globalist plans to build a "new Middle East," one that may not even include Israel.

Iran probably has nuclear weapons. If they don't, they would be guilty of criminal stupidity. Iraq was invaded because it didn't have WMD's.

In 2002, a Russian general said Iran has nuclear weapons. China is behind Hezbollah and Iran. There is no way this is going to turn out well for Israel. Tel Aviv and Haifa may be sacrificed as an excuse to nuke Iran.

DELUSION OF "SELF DEFENSE"

Until four years ago, I accepted Israel's self-image as a beleaguered, peace-loving nation in a sea of blood thirsty Arabs. The idea that this tiny state had imperialist designs seemed ludicrous.

But what if, unknown to most people including Israelis, the world's power elite were using Israel to advance their plan for New World Order?

What if Israel's role were to conquer the Middle East and in the process be destroyed. Rising like a phoenix from the ashes, the Masonic New World Order, with its capital in Jerusalem.

Albert Pike, the Freemason Grand Commander wrote to Giuseppe Mazzini in 1871 that the Third World War would be between supporters of Zionism and Islam, and that both will be destroyed. That could include the US and China.

A 63-page on line monograph "Israel's Sacred Terrorism" (1980) by Livia Rokach, suggests that Israel's defensive posture is a ruse.

Rokach's monograph is based on revelations from the personal diary of Moshe Sharett, who was Israeli's first Foreign Minister from 1948-1956, and Prime Minister from 1954-1956.

According to this diary, which Israel tried to suppress, the "Jewish state" always planned to become the dominant power in the region, and "invented dangers" in order to dupe its citizens and provoke wars.

In his diary, Sharett quotes a conversation with Army Chief of Staff Moshe Dayan in May 1955:

"We face no danger at all of an Arab advantage of force for the next 8-10 years...Reprisal actions which we couldn't carry out if we were tied to a security pact are our vital lymph...they make it possible for us to maintain a high level of tension in our population and in the army. Without these actions we would have ceased to be a combative people..."

Sharett concludes: "The state.... must see the sword as the main if not the only instrument with which to keep its morale high and to retain its moral tension. Toward this end it may -- no it MUST -- invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the method of provocation and revenge.... And above all, let us hope for a new war with the Arab countries so that we may finally get rid of our troubles and acquire our space." (41, emphasis mine)

In 2002 Arab nations proposed to recognize Israel within the 1967 boundaries. Iran agreed. But Israel preferred to ignore this and other peace overtures.


THE HARSH REALITY

People would rather believe a lie than admit they are wrong, even if their pig headedness has fatal consequences. They will despise or just ignore the man who tries to reach them. Many Israelis and Jews in general live in a solipsistic bubble. I hate to repeat myself but I am trying to get through to them!

Israel was not created so Jews can have a "national homeland." The Rothschilds who are Freemasons created Israel in order to advance their plan for world dictatorship. They tipped their hand with new Israeli Supreme Court building, which they designed and funded. Full of Masonic symbolism that would bewilder most Jews, it is intended to be the Supreme Court of the New World Order.

The Rothschild's emblem is on the Israeli flag. Their image is on the currency. They financed the Knesset building, just like their henchmen; the Rockefellers donated the land for the UN.

The hardest part for Jews to admit is they financed Hitler, partly to motivate Jews to start a Rothschild state.

The reason that Israel enjoys a blank cheque with the US Treasury is that the Rothschilds control the credit of the US and Europe and every country except Iran and North Korea. I'm not sure about China.

The whole point of the world government dictatorship (i.e. globalization) is to translate this control of credit into total political and social control using mind control (i.e education and media.)

NO THANKS MR. OLMERT

Olmert pleaded for support from the Jewish Diaspora, saying, "We're fighting for you."

No, through your war crimes and atrocities, which I do not have the stomach or space to list, you are an embarrassment to all Jews. You are creating the anti-Semitism that you Zionists thrive on.

It's amazing to me that no one has commented on the unfairness of this conflict, Palestinians- Lebanese vs. Israelis. In terms of firepower, this is like a muscle bound thug mugging an old lady but no one has the courage to intervene.

Israel seems as ready as Hitler or Stalin to apply the philosophy of might makes right and inflict massive suffering on innocent people. The same applies to Neo cons who advocate a first strike against Iran. Might doesn't make right. Morality does.

Attempts to demonize opponents will not work. The people of the world, including Jews, will not adopt a collective death wish. We will not be human sacrifices to the Illuminati god.

I think it gives us hope, by giving us a snapshot of what is to come. And, I think that is important to have this snapshot of hope while we are bombared with the negative influenced data streams on a continuous basis. It is so obvious, that it seems obsurd that there are so many sheeples oblivious to the system of distractions and fear induced on them on a daily basis.

I was comtemplating this while on a jog yesterday morning.

We are FS. FS is complete. We are like cells that make up the body called FS. But it is in our belief in fragmentation of the I that we limit our potentials. As Alex noted in another thread, if the Eagle doesn't know it has wings, how can it even begin to think about soaring the skies?

As I have said before, we have chosen to be here for each individuals' reasons. I feel honored to be here. It is hard work sometimes. I have felt attack from several angles in a physical, emotional, and spiritual way. As hard as that is, I know I must be making a difference or The Powers That Be wouldn't mess with me. I just pray for assistance and feel immediate relief. I then get back on the horse and remind myself that I am in this world, but not of it. I think about what Jesus said about miracles in the bible....that we could do what he did and more. I think about the numerous books that come from so many different walks of life, but share the same concepts of hope and dreams of a new world and it lightens the yoke. I think we have to encourage each other to be strong influences of comassion and to bond this conception into a reality. This board and the people here are a true blessing for me. I thank you all for encouraging me, just by being who you are.

Kimberlee,


You just expressed every single thought that crossed my mind yesterday.
I was sharing this knowledge with a friend via Skype
and at that moment Skype broke down and didn't come back up for several hours.
We carried on via e-mail, but somehow the flow was interrupted. Then with some determination on both sides everything was reconnected.
The key for me was in knowing that we are carrying a torch here that gives our lives a purpose. The teaching that empowers individuals at the grassroots levels must get out there.
I realize that the WMM is not the only source, even though in some aspects it seems unique.
All these teachings are like different blends of fertilizers. Some are more organic than others but all can give an energizing boost to one's growth.

Your letter showed me that we operate as if we were closely related.

[quote][color=blue]Question 41-S3 – In light of the recent tragedy (September 11) how do we recover some perception into the big picture and place these events of terrorism in perspective? [/color]

The world is fragmented into religious and political perspectives that land on various points of an expanding continuum. This fragmentation is the expression of humanity’s collective ignorance of the Wholeness Navigator, or immortal essence. It is this ignorance, and this ignorance alone, that perceptually separates you not only from First Source or God, but also those of your human family and the broader community of life forms that extend throughout the Grand Universe.

This specific condition of ignorance creates the duality of good and evil and its reliable shadow of sin. As depicted so admirably in the media, the enemy of the United States, and indeed the free world at large, has been sculpted into an unrevealed network of terrorists who personify evil; while we, the free world, stand erect as the embodiment of good. I invite you to contemplate the vulnerability of this paradigm.

The conceptual structure of humanity’s success does not lie in the simplistic notion of the triumph of good over evil. Instead, it lies in the investment of scientific and technical resources, coupled to the self-reliant ingenuity of the human race to discover the Wholeness Navigator and share this discovery with the world’s population. This will not be done with the full cooperation of the human race. Indeed, it never is. There is always the dampening effect of those who fear the changes that will follow in the wake of this vital discovery.

The terrorist network is a facet of this dampening effect that will assail all efforts to unify humanity, and it will not be the only form of resistance. As humanity enters into the unfolding of its next three generations, this network will test it repeatedly, and at times, as witnessed this week, with brutal effectiveness. Ironically, terrorism fulfills the very role it eschews inasmuch as the common enemy unifies. Those elements of the population, whether they are countries like North Korea and Iraq, or radical religious factions, have one thing in common: they dread unification of the world’s people because they fear that their unique ethnicity, culture, and religious customs will be extinguished, while those populations who strive for unification believe their cultures will be a foundation stone in the new, global society.

This is a fundamental anxiety of our time. Once a world’s population reaches a stage of global communication, those nations who can apply the global communications platform naturally seek a conceptual structure that unifies the population, first economically, and then, militarily. Earth is well underway in both arenas, but the dampening effect of the terrorist network is what will help to temper the will of the population to unify. Once this unification is established, the population will be better able to collaborate and share, and this is precisely what the scientific discovery of the Wholeness Navigator requires.[/quote]

[quote]Iran and Turkey Prepare for War in Iraqi Kurdistan
Quote

A new Middle East war is in the offing. DEBKAfile’s exclusive military sources in Iraq and sources in Iran reveal that Turkish and Iranian air units as well as armored, paratroop, special operations and artillery forces are poised for an imminent coordinated invasion of the northern Iraqi autonomous province of Kurdistan.

Our sources pinpoint the target of the combined Iranian-Turkish offensive as the Quandil Mountains (see picture), where some 5,000 Kurdish rebels from Turkey and Iran, members of the PKK and PJAK respectively, are holed up. Iranian and Turkish assault troops are already deployed 7-8 km deep inside Iraqi territory.

Turkey to the northwest and Iran to the east both have Kurdish minorities which have been radicalized by the emergence of Iraqi Kurdistan in the last three years. The three contiguous Kurdish regions form a strategic world hub.

A jittery Washington foresees a Kurdish-Iranian military thrust quickly flaring into a comprehensive conflict and igniting flames that would envelop the whole of Iraqi Kurdistan as well as southern Turkey and Armenia.

Tehran is quite capable of using the opening for its expeditionary force to grab extensive parts of Kurdistan and strike a strategic foothold in northern Iraq.

Informed US officials would not be surprised if Turkey took the chance of seizing northern Iraqi oil fields centered on the oil-rich town of Kirkuk, the source of 40 percent of Iraq’s oil output.


When he met US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice in New York Thursday, Sept. 21, Turkish foreign minister Abdullah Gul said: “When we talk about Kirkuk, everybody supposes we want to bring the Kurdish-Turkish issue to the foreground. However, we instead see the uncertainty there as a general issue of Iraq. We are concerned that instability and turmoil in Kirkuk could cause more troubles in Iraq.”
Referring to the recently appointed special US coordinator Gen. Joseph Ralston, Gul expressed his hope that a resolution would be imminent.

The threat was implicit and impatient. Washington was given to infer that Ankara is on the point of deciding whether or not to capture Kirkuk, a step that would undermine a pivotal political and economic base of the Baghdad government and harm US interests in Iraq.

This conversation, which was not nearly as amicable as it looked from the press photos, was clouded by a disturbing incident: A semi-official American military publication recently ran a new map showing parts of Turkish and Armenian territory marked “Kurdistan.”

This map fueled suspicions in Ankara and the Armenian capital Yerevan that the US high military command was in on a plan for Iraqi Kurdish forces led by President Jalal Talabani and Masoud Barzani to help themselves to territory in Turkey and Armenia in a counter-attack to a potential Turkish-Iranian military move in Kurdistan.

This kind of mistrust has lent wings to Ankara’s resolve to go forward against Kurdistan - the sooner the better.

To cool tempers and restrain the Turks, the US ambassador to Turkey, Ross Wilson, stood up in Ankara on Sept 19 and promised: “Northern Iraq won’t serve as a PKK base in the future.” In a speech at a meeting entitled "Agenda 2006," Wilson stated that the map published in an unofficial U.S. military magazine showing parts of Turkish and Armenian territory under the domination of a republic called "Kurdistan" doesn't reflect the official policy of the US.

The ambassador added that the recently stepped-up PKK violent attacks in Turkey “would not be tolerated anymore.”

These words were hardly likely to allay Ankara’s fears, since the ambassador addressed the PKK problem in the future tense, while the Turkish government is troubled by the present.

The approaching conflict, according to DEBKAfile’s military sources, has an Israeli dimension. Since July, Turkish leaders have been impressing on the Bush administration that they have the right to attack Kurdish rebels who mount terrorist attacks in Turkey and take refuge across the border in Iraq’s Quandil Mountains – no less than the Israelis, who with US backing struck back at the Hizballah in Lebanon for its cross-border attacks into northern Israel.

Tehran is not bothering to justify its forthcoming operation in Kurdistan. DEBKAfile’s sources in Tehran report that Iran’s rulers are determined to go in without further ado and crush the Kurdish insurgents carrying out hit-and-run attacks in Iran in recent months.

Vital American and Israeli regional security interests in the Middle East are affected by three additional aspects of the potential anti-Kurdish flare-up.

1. Washington is not convinced by Ankara’s protestations of the absence of Turkish-Iranian military complicity. Turkey and Iran happen to find themselves in the same boat at the same time as targets of terrorists, say the Turks, and both have no choice but to use force to stamp out the violence. But for the Americans, the timing could not be more unfortunate. A possible US (and Israeli) plan to attack Iran’s nuclear installations at this time would be seriously hampered by the closure of Turkish and Kurdish air space to American and Israeli warplanes heading for Iran.

The war plot thickened further this week.

Friday, Sept. 22, while Hizballah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah harangued a million Lebanese spectators in Beirut, Iran’s ambassador to Turkey, Firouz Dolatabadi, spoke in Ankara in ominous tones. He said: “Iran, Turkey and Iraq are key points in the world’s geopolitics. Whoever dominates this region can control the whole world.”

Regarding relations between Iran and Turkey, ambassador Dolatabadi said: “History has it that whenever Iran and the Ottoman Emperor had good relations, we would witness good developments in the region.”

Good for whom? asked worried officials in Washington.

2. An Iranian-Turkish victory in a Kurdish campaign would award Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps its second victory in less than two months. The RG officers who commanded Hizballah forces in the Lebanon war of July and August claim full credit for its gains. They thwarted a key objective of the Israeli assault which was to cut Iran’s assets down to size in Lebanon and the western Middle East at large, and have left Iran’s military grip on the region firmer than ever.


3. Israel is concerned lest military action against Turkish PKK rebels uproot its military and economic presence in Iraqi Kurdistan. DEBKAfile’s military sources report that since 2004 Israeli military instructors and intelligence officer have been helping the Kurds build up their peshmerga army and anti-terrorist forces.
Iran and Turkey are convinced that Israel also maintains in north Iraqi Kurdistan observation and early warning posts to forewarn the Jewish state of a coming Iranian attack. If this is so, the two invaders will make a point of destroying such posts. Israel would then forfeit a key intelligence facility against the Islamic Republic.

Regarding Israel’s oft-reported, never officially-admitted, connection with Kurdistan, the BBC’s Newsnight program of Sept 20 claimed to have obtained the first pictures of Kurdish soldiers trained by Israelis in N. Iraq, as well as an interview with an unnamed former trainer.

DEBKAfile’s sources conjecture that the photos were leaked by two sources:

One, Turkish officials concerned to drum up a justifiable “context” for their coming offensive by smearing the Talabani-Barzani leadership as disloyal to Baghdad.

The Kurdish authorities have denied allowing any Israelis into northern Iraq. The purported Israeli trainer told the BBC interviewer that his team was told they would be disowned if discovered.

Two, Turkish or European elements who are anxious to abort an American or Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear industry by exposing Kurdish installations that might serve to expand Israel’s strategic options against Iran. The BBC producers suggested that refueling stops at the Irbil (Hawler) airport in Kurdistan would help the Israel air force overcome the problem of distance to an air strike against Iran.

The British program quoted the trainer as describing the courses given to Kurdish airport security people and army as diverse special operations forces’ anti-terrorism tactics and weapons. DEBKAfile adds that before Abu Musab al Zarqawi was taken out by American forces, his men sought high and low for Israeli instructors to abduct as hostages, but never found them.

The Bush administration recently appointed former NATO commander Gen. Joseph Ralston as special US coordinator in Ankara for the PKK issue in the hope of de-escalating the crisis caused by PKK attacks and delaying Ankara’s war operation against Iraqi Kurdistan. In the second week of September, he held a round of conferences with Turkish political and military leaders. His essential argument was that military action is the last option. But he made little headway. Many Turkish officials found the Ralston initiative too late to hold back the inevitable clash for a number of reasons.

They believe the delay he urged would play into the hands of the Kurdish rebels and give them time to consolidate their preparations to fight off an offensive.

Turkish intelligence reports that Talabani and Barzani are less busy with Iraqi affairs than with transferring large quantities of anti-tank and anti-air rockets to the anti-Turkish PKK and the anti-Iranian PJAK in their hideouts.

Ankara is keen, furthermore, to get in its blow against Kurdistan before an American action against Iran. The Turks buy Russian and Iranian intelligence evaluations according which the US attack may take place at any time between the last week of September and the end of December, 2006. So they feel the ground is burning under their feet.

Iran, for its part, is waiting for Turkey to make the first move in Iraqi Kurdistan. Its troops will go into action only after the first Turkish soldier and tank are on the move.

Kimberlee,


You just expressed every single thought that crossed my mind yesterday.
I was sharing this knowledge with a friend via Skype
and at that moment Skype broke down and didn't come back up for several hours.
We carried on via e-mail, but somehow the flow was interrupted. Then with some determination on both sides everything was reconnected.
The key for me was in knowing that we are carrying a torch here that gives our lives a purpose. The teaching that empowers individuals at the grassroots levels must get out there.
I realize that the WMM is not the only source, even though in some aspects it seems unique.
All these teachings are like different blends of fertilizers. Some are more organic than others but all can give an energizing boost to one's growth.

Your letter showed me that we operate as if we were closely related.

From the Cloak:

“SEPT. 29, 2006
IDENTIFY THE ENEMIES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN THE 21st CENTURY© AND ANNIHILATE THEM
WITH TOM HENEGHAN

IT GETS REALLY WORSE

Mark Foley (R. Fla), noted for his role in Florida-Gate 2000 in the overthrow of the duly elected U.S. President Albert Gore's election has been now linked to an email in which Foley tries to seduce a 16 year old boy.

This FBI sting will engulf both the Republican and Democrat Parties as well as the following:
William Frist (R. Tenn.), Barney Frank (D. Mass.), Robert Dryer (R. Ca.), and even Bushfraud himself.

Sources close to the FBI sting have linked the occupunk and resident of the White House, to known male prostitute Jeff Gannon and the whorehouses and poker parties tied to the Jack Abramoff scandal.

Note: Bush’s lifelong lover Victor Ashe is now the Ambassador to Poland. And as reported earlier on Cloak and Dagger, the U.S. Media is still covering up Bush’s past including attendance at a Christian conversion center aka Worthy Creators which is a Gay Rehab Center. Clearly it didn’t work.

Note: Hillary Clinton is now abstaining from sex. Good idea since her congenital herpes makes her a sexual terrorist.

P.S. – This all ties in not to a sexual scandal but a major National Security Debacle since it can now be reported that Foxcom Wireless aka Odigo Mossad, used their cellphone contract to spy on the entire U.S. Congress and Media for the purpose of blackmail.

Abramoff , former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, and a former Undersecretary of State Mark Grossman are all tied to this espionage operation.

Reference: Mark Grossman is being linked as we speak to a massive espionage operation against the USA on behalf of the Israeli Government including Grossman’s role in the Valerie Plame case, 9/11, and the attempt to plant WMD in Iraq. Grossman story is developing and the Cloak will have followup as evidence surfaces.”

Bush Moves Toward Martial Law
Quote

In a stealth maneuver, President Bush has signed into law a provision which, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), will actually encourage the President to declare federal martial law (1). It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President's ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions.

Public Law 109-364, or the "John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007" (H.R.5122) (2), which was signed by the commander in chief on October 17th, 2006, in a private Oval Office ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public emergency" and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder."

President Bush seized this unprecedented power on the very same day that he signed the equally odious Military Commissions Act of 2006. In a sense, the two laws complement one another. One allows for torture and detention abroad, while the other seeks to enforce acquiescence at home, preparing to order the military onto the streets of America. Remember, the term for putting an area under military law enforcement control is precise; the term is "martial law."

Section 1076 of the massive Authorization Act, which grants the Pentagon another $500-plus-billion for its ill-advised adventures, is entitled, "Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies." Section 333, "Major public emergencies; interference with State and Federal law" states that "the President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of ("refuse" or "fail" in) maintaining public order, "in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy."

For the current President, "enforcement of the laws to restore public order" means to commandeer guardsmen from any state, over the objections of local governmental, military and local police entities; ship them off to another state; conscript them in a law enforcement mode; and set them loose against "disorderly" citizenry - protesters, possibly, or those who object to forced vaccinations and quarantines in the event of a bio-terror event.

The law also facilitates militarized police round-ups and detention of protesters, so called "illegal aliens," "potential terrorists" and other "undesirables" for detention in facilities already contracted for and under construction by Halliburton. That's right. Under the cover of a trumped-up "immigration emergency" and the frenzied militarization of the southern border, detention camps are being constructed right under our noses, camps designed for anyone who resists the foreign and domestic agenda of the Bush administration.

An article on "recent contract awards" in a recent issue of the slick, insider "Journal of Counterterrorism & Homeland Security International" reported that "global engineering and technical services powerhouse KBR [Kellog, Brown & Root] announced in January 2006 that its Government and Infrastructure division was awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities in the event of an emergency." "With a maximum total value of $385 million over a five year term," the report notes, "the contract is to be executed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers," "for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) - in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs." The report points out that "KBR is the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton." (3) So, in addition to authorizing another $532.8 billion for the Pentagon, including a $70-billion "supplemental provision" which covers the cost of the ongoing, mad military maneuvers in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places, the new law, signed by the president in a private White House ceremony, further collapses the historic divide between the police and the military: a tell-tale sign of a rapidly consolidating police state in America, all accomplished amidst ongoing U.S. imperial pretensions of global domination, sold to an "emergency managed" and seemingly willfully gullible public as a "global war on terrorism."

Make no mistake about it: the de-facto repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA) is an ominous assault on American democratic tradition and jurisprudence. The 1878 Act, which reads, "Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both," is the only U.S. criminal statute that outlaws military operations directed against the American people under the cover of 'law enforcement.' As such, it has been the best protection we've had against the power-hungry intentions of an unscrupulous and reckless executive, an executive intent on using force to enforce its will.

Unfortunately, this past week, the president dealt posse comitatus, along with American democracy, a near fatal blow. Consequently, it will take an aroused citizenry to undo the damage wrought by this horrendous act, part and parcel, as we have seen, of a long train of abuses and outrages perpetrated by this authoritarian administration.

Despite the unprecedented and shocking nature of this act, there has been no outcry in the American media, and little reaction from our elected officials in Congress. On September 19th, a lone Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) noted that 2007's Defense Authorization Act contained a "widely opposed provision to allow the President more control over the National Guard [adopting] changes to the Insurrection Act, which will make it easier for this or any future President to use the military to restore domestic order WITHOUT the consent of the nation's governors."

Senator Leahy went on to stress that, "we certainly do not need to make it easier for Presidents to declare martial law. Invoking the Insurrection Act and using the military for law enforcement activities goes against some of the central tenets of our democracy. One can easily envision governors and mayors in charge of an emergency having to constantly look over their shoulders while someone who has never visited their communities gives the orders."

A few weeks later, on the 29th of September, Leahy entered into the Congressional Record that he had "grave reservations about certain provisions of the fiscal Year 2007 Defense Authorization Bill Conference Report," the language of which, he said, "subverts solid, longstanding posse comitatus statutes that limit the military's involvement in law enforcement, thereby making it easier for the President to declare martial law." This had been "slipped in," Leahy said, "as a rider with little study," while "other congressional committees with jurisdiction over these matters had no chance to comment, let alone hold hearings on, these proposals."

In a telling bit of understatement, the Senator from Vermont noted that "the implications of changing the (Posse Comitatus) Act are enormous". "There is good reason," he said, "for the constructive friction in existing law when it comes to martial law declarations. Using the military for law enforcement goes against one of the founding tenets of our democracy. We fail our Constitution, neglecting the rights of the States, when we make it easier for the President to declare martial law and trample on local and state sovereignty."

Senator Leahy's final ruminations: "Since hearing word a couple of weeks ago that this outcome was likely, I have wondered how Congress could have gotten to this point. It seems the changes to the Insurrection Act have survived the Conference because the Pentagon and the White House want it."

The historic and ominous re-writing of the Insurrection Act, accomplished in the dead of night, which gives Bush the legal authority to declare martial law, is now an accomplished fact.

The Pentagon, as one might expect, plays an even more direct role in martial law operations. Title XIV of the new law, entitled, "Homeland Defense Technology Transfer Legislative Provisions," authorizes "the Secretary of Defense to create a Homeland Defense Technology Transfer Consortium to improve the effectiveness of the Department of Defense (DOD) processes for identifying and deploying relevant DOD technology to federal, State, and local first responders."

In other words, the law facilitates the "transfer" of the newest in so-called "crowd control" technology and other weaponry designed to suppress dissent from the Pentagon to local militarized police units. The new law builds on and further codifies earlier "technology transfer" agreements, specifically the 1995 DOD-Justice Department memorandum of agreement achieved back during the Clinton-Reno regime.(4)

It has become clear in recent months that a critical mass of the American people have seen through the lies of the Bush administration; with the president's polls at an historic low, growing resistance to the war Iraq, and the Democrats likely to take back the Congress in mid-term elections, the Bush administration is on the ropes. And so it is particularly worrying that President Bush has seen fit, at this juncture to, in effect, declare himself dictator.

I watched all three of these videos...produced by the BBC and was very satisfied to learn, what reveals how the war on terror was developed...and how we have been manipulated by fear


It begins in 1939, with two men, with visions of grandure...one inspires radical islamics who are fearful of their religion being poluted by "western ways"...

the other man inspired future "neo cons"...and follows their ideals through our recent history as they use myth and religion to "save" their nations

imagine the worst, without evidence



fear becomes the only agenda...and creates a society that believes in nothing.

well worth watching, well done and very revealing and educational

THE HIGHJACKING OF A NATION



Part 1: The Foreign Agent Factor



By Sibel Edmonds







In his farewell address in 1796, George Washington warned that America must be constantly awake against “the insidious wiles of foreign influence…since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.”



Today, foreign influence, that most baneful foe of our republican government, has its tentacles entrenched in almost all major decision making and policy producing bodies of the U.S. government machine. It does so not secretly, since its self-serving activities are advocated and legitimized by highly positioned parties that reap the benefits that come in the form of financial gain and positions of power.



Foreign governments and foreign-owned private interests have long sought to influence U.S. public policy. Several have accomplished this goal; those who are able and willing to pay what it takes. Those who buy themselves a few strategic middlemen, commonly known as pimps, while in DC circles referred to as foreign registered agents and lobbyists, who facilitate and bring about desired transactions. These successful foreign entities have mastered the art of ‘covering all the bases’ when it comes to buying influence in Washington DC. They have the required recipe down pat: get yourself a few ‘Dime a Dozen Generals,’ bid high in the ‘former statesmen lobby auction’, and put in your pocket one or two ‘ex-congressmen turned lobbyists’ who know the ropes when it comes to pocketing a few dozen who still serve.



The most important facet of this influence to consider is what happens when the active and powerful foreign entities’ objectives are in direct conflict with our nation’s objectives and its interests and security; and when this is the case, who pays the ultimate price and how. There is no need for assumptions of hypothetical situations to answer these questions, since throughout recent history we have repeatedly faced the dire consequences of the highjacking of our foreign and domestic policies by these so-called foreign agents of foreign influence.



Let’s illustrate this with the most important recent case, the catastrophe endured by our people; the September Eleven terrorist attacks. Let’s observe how certain foreign interests, combined with their U.S. agents and benefactors, overrode the interests and security of the entire nation; how thousands of victims and their loved ones were kicked aside to serve the interests of a few; foreign influence and its agents.





Senator Graham’s Revelation

It has been established that two of the 9/11 hijackers had a support network in the U.S. that included agents of the Saudi government, and that the Bush administration and the FBI blocked a congressional investigation into that relationship.



In his book, "Intelligence Matters," Senator Bob Graham made clear that some details of that financial support from Saudi Arabia were in the 27 pages of the congressional inquiry's final report that were blocked from release by the administration, despite the pleas of leaders of both parties in the House and Senate intelligence committees.



Here is an excerpt from Senator Graham’s statement from the July 24, 2003 congressional record on the classified 27 pages of the Congressional Joint Inquiry into 9/11: “The most serious omission, in my view, is part 4 of the report, which is entitled Finding, Discussion and Narrative Regarding Certain Sensitive National Security Matters. Those 27 pages have almost been entirely censured [sic]….The declassified version of this finding tells the American people that our investigation developed information suggesting specific sources of foreign support for some of the September 11 hijackers while they were in the United States. In other words, officials of a foreign government are alleged to have aided and abetted the terrorist attacks on our country on September 11, which took over 3,000 lives.”



In his book Graham reveals, “Our investigators found a CIA memo dated August 2, 2002, whose author concluded that there is incontrovertible evidence that there is support for these terrorists within the Saudi government. On September 11, America was not attacked by a nation-state, but we had just discovered that the attackers were actively supported by one, and that state was our supposed friend and ally Saudi Arabia.” He then cites another case, “We had discovered an FBI asset who had a close relationship with two of the terrorists; a terrorist support network that went through the Saudi Embassy; and a funding network that went through the Saudi Royal family.”



The most explosive revelation in Graham’s book is the following statement with regard to the administration’s attitude on page 216: “It was as if the President’s loyalty lay more with Saudi Arabia than with America’s safety.” Further, he states that he asked the FBI to undertake a review of the Riggs Bank records on the terrorists’ money trail, to look at other Saudi companies with ties to al-Qaeda, to plan for monitoring suspect Saudi interests in the United States; however, Graham adds: “To my knowledge, none of these investigations have been completed…Nor do we know anything else about what I believe to be a state-sponsored terrorist support network that still exists, largely undamaged, within the United States.”



What Graham is trying to establish in his book and previous public statements in this regard, and doing so under state imposed ‘secrecy and classification’, is that the classification and cover up of those 27 pages is not about protecting ‘U.S. national security, methods of intelligence collection, or ongoing investigations,’ but to protect certain U.S. allies. Meaning, our government put the interests of certain foreign nations and their U.S. beneficiaries far above its own people and their interests. While Saudi Arabia has been specifically pointed to by Graham, other countries involved have yet to be identified.



In covering up Saudi Arabia’s direct role in supporting Al Qaeda, the 9/11 Commission goes even a few steps further than the congress and the Executive Branch. The report claims "there is no convincing evidence that any government financially supported al-Qaeda before 9/11." Their report ignores all the information provided by government officials to Congress, as well as volumes of published reports and investigations by other nations, regarding Muslim and Arab regimes that have supported al Qaeda. It completely disregards the terrorist lists of the Treasury and State Departments, which have catalogued the Saudi government's decades of support for Bin Laden and al-Qaeda.



Why in the world would the United States government go so far to protect Saudi Arabia in the face of what itself declares to be the biggest security threat facing our nation and the world today?



Why is the United States willing to set aside its own security and interests in order to advance the interests of another state?



How can a government that’s been intent upon using the terrorist attacks to carry out many unjustifiable atrocities, prevent bringing to justice those who’ve been established as being directly responsible for it?



More importantly, how is this done in a nation that prides itself as one that operates under governance of the people, by the people, for the people?



How did our government bodies, those involved in drafting and implementing our nation’s policies, evolve into this foreign influence-peddling operation?



In order to answer these questions one must first establish who stands to lose and who stands to gain by protecting Saudi Arabia from being exposed and facing consequences of its involvement in terrorist networks activities. In addition to identifying the nations in question, we must identify the interests as well as the actors; their agents. Let’s look at Saudi Arabia as one of the successful foreign nations that have mastered the art of ‘covering all the bases’ when it comes to buying and peddling influence in Washington DC, and identify its hired ‘agents’ and ‘agents by default.’



Foreign Agents by Default

Although when it comes to our complex diplomatic threading with Saudi Arabia the easiest answer appears to be the ‘oil factor,’ upon further inspection the Saudi’s influence and role extends into other areas, such as the Military Industrial Complex and the too familiar Lobbying Games.



According to the report published by the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), Saudi Arabia is America’s top customer. Since 1990 the U.S. government, through the Pentagon’s arms export program, has arranged for the delivery of more than $39.6 billion in foreign military sales to Saudi Arabia, and an additional $394 million worth of arms were delivered to the Saudi regime through the State Department’s direct commercial sales program. Oil rich Saudi Arabia is a cash-paying customer; a compulsive buyer of our weaponry. The list of U.S. sellers includes almost all the major players such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing.



The report by FAS establishes that despite the show of U.S. support demonstrated by this astounding quantity of arms sales, Saudi Arabia’s human rights record is extremely poor; see the U.S. State Department’s 2000 Human Rights Report. Saudi Arabia’s position as a strategic Gulf ally has blinded U.S. officials into approving a level and quality of arms exports that should never have been allowed to a non-democratic country with such a poor human rights record.



Further, there are indications of Saudi’s active role as a player in the nuclear black-market. According to Mohammed Khilewi, first secretary at the Saudi mission to the United Nations until July 1994, the Saudis have sought a bomb since 1975; they sought to buy nuclear reactors from China, supported Pakistan's nuclear program, and contributed $5 billion to Iraq's nuclear weapons program between 1985 and 1990. While the U.S. government vocally opposes the development or procurement of ballistic missiles by non-allies, it has been very quiet in Saudi Arabia’s case, considering the fact that it possesses the longest-range ballistic missiles of any developing country.



The Military Industrial Complex certainly seems to be a winner in having the congressional report pertaining to the Saudi government’s role in supporting the 9/11 terrorist activities being classified. The exposure would have meant grounds for U.S. sanctions and retributions; it would have risked the loss of billions of dollars in revenue from its ‘top customer.’ These companies don’t even have to officially register as foreign agents; after all, their strong loyalty and unbreakable bond with foreign elements exists by default; it is called mutual benefit. They are ‘Foreign Agents by Default.’



This holds true for other parties and players involved within the MIC network; the contractors and the investors. Let’s look at one of these famous and influential players; another foreign agent even if only by default; a man who defended the Saudis against a lawsuit brought by the 9/11 victims’ family members; a man who happens to be the senior counsel for the Carlyle Group, which invests heavily in defense companies and is the nation's 10th largest defense contractor with ties to the Saudi Royal Family, Enron, Global Crossing, among others; James Baker; Papa Bush’s Secretary of State. On the morning of September 11th, 2001, Baker was reportedly at a Carlyle investor conference with members of the Bin Laden family in the Ritz Carlton in Washington DC, while Bush Sr. was on the payroll of the Carlyle group.



The Carlyle Group, a Washington, DC based private equity firm that employs numerous former high-ranking government officials with ties to both political parties, was the ninth largest Pentagon contractor between 1998 and 2003, an ongoing Center for Public Integrity investigation into Department of Defense contracts found. According to this report, overall, six private investment firms, including Carlyle, received nearly $14 billion in Pentagon deals between 1998 and 2003. Considering the fact that Saudi Arabia is the top buyer of the U.S. weapons industry, Carlyle’s investment and its stake, and of course Jimmy Baker’s far reaching influence within the Pentagon and congress, everything seems to come together and fit perfectly to shield this foreign interest no matter the price to be paid by the American public.



The political action committees (PACs) of the biggest defense companies have given $14.2 million directly to federal candidates since Clinton's first presidential bid, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP). In 1997 alone the defense industry spent $49.5 million to lobby the nation's decision-makers.



Between 1998 and 2004, for the six-year period, Boeing Company spent more than $57 million in lobbying. For the same period of time, Lockheed Martin poured over $55 million into lobbying activities. Northrop Grumman exceeded both by investing $83 million in lobbying, and based on a report issued by POGO, it contributed over $4 million to individuals and PACs.



With ‘dime a dozen’ generals on their boards of directors, numerous high-powered ex congressmen and senators at their disposal in the ‘K Street Lobby Quarter,’ tens of millions of dollars in campaign donations, and billions of dollars at stake, the Military Industrial Complex surely had all the incentives to act just as foreign agents would, and fight for their highly valued client; the Saudi Government. They appear to have had all the reasons to ensure that the report would not see the light of the day; no matter what the effect on the country, its security, and its interests.



K Street Lobby Quarter

The fact that Saudi Arabia pours large sums into lobbying firms and public relations companies with close ties to congress does not come as a big surprise. The FARA database under the DOJ website lists Qorvis Communications as one of Saudi Arabia’s registered foreign agents. In 2003, for only a six months period, Qorvis received more than $11 million from the Saudi government. Another firm, Loeffler Tuggey Pauerstein Rosenthal LLP, another registered foreign agent, received more than $840,000 for the same six-month period, and the list goes on. Just for this six month period the government of Saudi Arabia paid a total of more than $14 million to 13 lobbying and public relations companies; all registered as foreign agents.



Why do the Saudis spend nearly $20 million per year in lobbying activities in the U.S. via their hired agents? What kind of return on investment are they getting out of the United States Congress?



Let’s take Loeffler’s group and examine its value for the Saudi government, since it was paid over $3 million in three years between 2003 and 2005. The firm was founded by former Republican Congressman Tom Loeffler of Texas. Loeffler served in the Republican Leadership as Deputy Whip, and as Chief Deputy Whip during his third and fourth term. He was a member of the powerful Appropriations Committee, Energy and Commerce Committee and Budget Committee. In the two Bush campaigns for governor, Loeffler, who contributed $141,000, was the largest donor. In 1998, he served as national co-chair of the Republican National Committee's "Team 100" program for donors of $100,000 or more, and afterwards held the same title during George W. Bush's presidential campaign. Loeffler’s generosity extends to the members of congress as well. In 6 years, he has given more than $185,000 to members of congress, 97% of it going to only Republican members. During the same six-year period, Loeffler’s firm received more than $18 million in lobbying fees.



The firm’s managing director happens to be William L. Ball. Ball served as Chief of Staff to Senators John Tower (R-TX) and Herman Talmadge (D-GA). In 1985, he joined the Reagan Administration as Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs. Later he was assigned to the White House to serve President Reagan as his chief liaison to the Congress. Wallace Henderson is also a Partner; he was Chief Counsel and Chief of Staff to Representative W. J. Tauzin (R-LA), Chief of Staff to U.S. Senator John Breaux (D-LA).



By having foreign agents such as the Loeffler Group, in addition to their foreign agents by default, the MIC, the Saudis seem to have all their bases covered. Former secretaries and deputy secretaries with open access to the current ones, former congressmen and senators who used to be positioned on strategically valuable committees and know the rules of the congressional game, and millions of dollars available to be spent and channeled and re-channeled to various PACs go a long way toward ensuring results. Money counts. Money is needed to bring in votes. Professional skills and discretion are required to get this money to various final destinations. The registered foreign agents, the lobby groups, are geared for this task. The client is happy in the end; so are the foreign agents and the congressional actors.





Other Savvy Nations

Of course, the sanction and legitimization of far reaching foreign influence and strongholds in the U.S., despite the many dire consequences endured by its citizens, is not limited to the government of Saudi Arabia. Numerous well-documented cases can be cited for others such as Turkey, Pakistan, and Israel, to name a few.



I won’t get into the details and history of my own case, where the government invoked the state secrets privilege to gag my case and the congress in order to ‘protect certain sensitive diplomatic relations.’ The country, the foreign influence, in this case was the Republic of Turkey. The U.S. government did so despite the far reaching consequences of burying the facts involved, and disregarded the interests and security of the nation; all to protect a quasi ally engaged in numerous illegitimate activities within the global terrorist networks, nuclear black-market and narcotics activities; an ally who happens to be another compulsive and loyal buyer of the Military Industrial Complex; an ally who happens to be another savvy player in recruiting top U.S. players as its foreign agents and spending million of dollars per year to the lobbying groups headed by many ‘formers.’ Turkey’s agent list includes generals such as Joseph Ralston and Brent Scowcroft, former statesmen such as William Cohen and Marc Grossman, and of course famous ex-congressmen such as Bob Livingston and Stephen Solarz. Turkey too seems to have all its bases covered.



Another well-known and documented case involves Pakistan. Over two decades ago Richard Barlow, an intelligence analyst working for then-Secretary of Defense **** Cheney issued a startling report. After reviewing classified information from field agents, he had determined that Pakistan, despite official denials, had built a nuclear bomb. In the March 29, 1993 issue of New Yorker, Seymour Hersh noted that “even as Barlow began his digging, some senior State Department officials were worried that too much investigation would create what Barlow called embarrassment for Pakistan.” Barlow's conclusion was politically inconvenient. A finding that Pakistan possessed a nuclear bomb would have triggered a congressionally mandated cutoff of aid to the country, and it would have killed a $1.4-billion sale of F-16 fighter jets to Islamabad. A few months later a Pentagon official downplayed Pakistan's nuclear capabilities in his testimony to Congress. When Barlow protested to his superiors, he was fired. A few years later, the Executive Branch would slap Barlow with the State Secrets Privilege.



As we all now know, Pakistan provided direct nuclear assistance to Iran and Libya. During the Cold War, the U.S. put up with Pakistani lies and deception about their nuclear activities, it did not enforce its restrictions on Pakistan's nuclear program when it counted, and as a result Pakistan ended up with a U.S.-made nuclear weapons system. Yet again, after 9/11, the Bush administration issued a waiver ending the implementation of almost all sanctions on Pakistan because of the perceived need for Pakistani assistance in the fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, who ironically were brought to power by direct U.S. support in the 1980s in the first place.



Weiss, in the May-June 2004 issue of the Bulletin states: “We are essentially back where we were with Pakistan in the 1980s. It is apparent that it has engaged in dangerous nuclear mischief with North Korea, Iran, and Libya (and perhaps others), but thus far without consequences to its relationship with the United States because of other, overriding foreign policy considerations--not the Cold War this time, but the war on terrorism.” He continues: “But now there is a major political difference. It was one thing for Pakistan, a country with which the United States has had good relations generally, to follow India and produce the bomb for itself. It is quite another for Pakistan to help two-thirds of the "axis of evil” to get the bomb as well.”



FARA & LDA

An agent of a ‘foreign principal’ is defined as any individual or organization which acts at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a foreign principal, or whose activities are directed by a foreign principal who engages in political activities, or acts in a public relations capacity for a foreign principal, or solicits or dispenses any thing of value within the United States for a foreign principal, or represents the interests of a foreign principal before any agency or official of the U.S. government.



In 1938, in response to the large number of German propaganda agents in the pre-WWII U.S., Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was established to insure that the American public and its lawmakers know the source of propaganda intended to sway public opinion, policy, and laws. The Act requires every agent of a foreign principal to register with the Department of Justice and file forms outlining its agreements with, income from, and expenditures on behalf of the foreign principal. Any agent testifying before a committee of Congress must furnish the committee with a copy of his most recent registration statement. The agent must keep records of all his activities and permit the Attorney General to inspect them. However, as is the case with many laws, the Act is filled with exemptions and loopholes that allow minimization of, and in some cases complete escape from, warranted scrutiny.



There are a number of exemptions. For example, persons whose activities are of a purely commercial nature or of a religious, academic, and charitable nature are exempt. Any agent who is engaged in lobbying activities and is registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) is exempt. The LDA of 1995 was passed after decades of effort to make the regulation and disclosure of lobbying the federal government more effective. However, LDA also has serious and important loopholes and limitations that can be summed up as: Inadequate Disclosure, Inadequate Enforcement, and Inadequate Regulation of Conduct. The recent congressional scandals make this point very clear.



In addition, neither act deals with an important issue: Conflict of Interest. Many of these agents, with their loyalty to the foreign hand that feeds them, end up being appointed to various positions, commissions and special envoys by our government. Recall Kissinger and his appointment to head the 9/11 Commission, and of course the recent revelation by Woodward on his advisory position to the current White House. Take a look at Jimmy Baker’s current appointment on the Iraq commission. Same goes for the father of all the ‘dime a dozen generals’, Brent Scowcroft, and one of his new protégés, General Joseph Ralston. In short, neither FARA nor LDA creates meaningful oversight, control, or enforcement; neither deals with conflict of interest issues, and neither provides any deterrence or consequences for unethical or illegal conduct.





It used to be congressional ‘pork projects’ and ‘corporate influence’ that raised eyebrows now and then; here and there. Gone are those days. Today the unrestricted and uncontrollable money game and influence peddling tricks within the major decision-making and policy producing bodies of the U.S. government have reached new heights; yet, no raised eyebrows are registered. Sadly, today, a new version of ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ would have to be produced as a documentary.



The other day I received a request to sign on to a petition put forth by a group of 9/11 family members urging the congress to reopen the investigations of 9/11 and declassify the infamous 27-pages which deal with foreign governments, U.S. allies, that provided support for those who carried out the attacks on our nation. My heart goes out to them. I do sympathize with them. I am known to take on similar propositions and methods of activism myself. However, looking at the realities, seeing what it takes to get things done in Washington, realizing how this beast works in the Real Sin City, I would encourage them to look at the root cause, rather than the symptoms. There are only two ways I can see that can bring about what they have been fighting for and what the majority of us desire to see in terms of bringing about Truth, Oversight, and Accountability; Justice.



The family members, and their supporters, us, either have to tackle the major cause; the corruption of our government officials via unrestricted and undisciplined ‘revolving doors’ and ‘foreign influence & lobby’ practices, and push for expedient meaningful reforms by the new ambitious congress, and have them prove to us their worth. Or, they may as well give up their long-held integrity, go bid high for one or two former statesmen, hire a few dime a dozen generals, and buy themselves a couple of ex-congressmen turned lobbyists; that will do the job.

The Highjacking of a Nation

Part 2: The Auctioning of Former Statesmen & Dime a Dozen Generals

By Sibel Edmonds



“The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.”- - Justice Felix Frankfurter




It used to be the three branches - congress, the executive, and the courts - that we considered the make-up of our nation’s federal government. And some would point to the press as a possible fourth branch, due to the virtue of its influence in shaping our policies. Today, more and more people have come to view corporate and foreign lobby firms, with their preponderant clout and enormous power, as the official fourth branch of our nation’s government. Not only do I agree with them, I would even take it a step further and give it a higher status it certainly deserves.

Operating invisibly under the radar of media and public scrutiny, lobby groups and foreign agents have become the ‘epicenter’ of our government, where former statesmen and ‘dime a dozen generals’ cash in on their connections and peddle their enormous influence to the highest bidders turned clients. These groups’ activities shape our nation’s policies and determine the direction of the flow of its taxpayer driven wealth, while to them the interests of the majority are considered irrelevant, and the security of the nation is perceived as inconsequential.

In Part1 of this series I used Saudi influence via its lobby and foreign agents by default as a case to illustrate how certain foreign interests, combined with their U.S. agents and benefactors, override the interests and security of the entire nation. This illustrative model case involved three major elements: the purchasing of a few ‘dime a dozen generals,’ bidding high in the auctioning of ‘former statesmen,’ and buying one or two ex-congressmen turned lobbyists. In addition, the piece emphasized the importance of the “Military Industrial Complex (MIC),” which became a de facto ‘foreign agent’ by the universally recognized principle of ‘mutual benefit.’



This article will attempt to illustrate the functioning of the above model in the case of another country, the Republic of Turkey, and its set of agents and operators in the U.S. In doing so, I want to emphasize the importance of separating the populace of example nations - Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, Pakistan… - from their regimes and select key participating actors. As is the case with our nation, they too suffer the consequences of their regime’s self-serving policies and conduct. Not only that, they also have to endure what they consider ‘U.S. imposed policies’ that further the interests of only a few. Think of it this way, the majority of us in the States do not see the infamous and powerful neocon cabal as the chosen and accepted representatives of our nation’s values and objectives. We do not want to be perceived and judged based on the actions of a few at Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo. The same is valid for these nations’ citizenry; so let not their corrupt and criminal regimes be the basis of our judgment of them.



Moreover, as we all know, those subject to criticism in these articles have mastered the art of spinning when it comes to the media and propaganda. The Israeli lobby is quick to stamp all factually backed criticism as ‘anti-Semitic’ and attack it as such. The Turkish lobby, in this regard, as with everything else, follows its Israeli mentors; they label all dissent and criticism as anti-Turkey, or, Kurdish or Armenian propaganda; while the Saudi lobby goes around kicking and screaming ‘anti-Muslim propaganda.’ I am not known to be ‘politically correct’ and am often criticized for it. I readily accept that and all responsibilities associated with it. I am not seeking a position as a diplomat, neither am I serving any business, organization, or media channel furthering a particular ideology. This is me, saying it as I see it; no more, no less. By the end of this series it should be obvious, at least for many, that the selection of the nations encompasses varied sides and affiliations. Moreover, the main purpose, and the target of these commentaries, goes to the heart of our own government and its epicenter; lobbyists and the MIC.

Many Americans, due to the effective propaganda and spin machine of Turkey’s agents in the U.S., and relentless efforts by high-level officials and lobbying groups on Turkish networks’ payroll, do not know much about Turkey; its position and importance in the areas of terrorism, money laundering, illegal arms sales, industrial and military espionage, and the nuclear black-market. Not many people in the States would name Turkey among those nations that threaten global security, the fight against terrorism, nuclear proliferation, or the war on drugs. For the purpose of this article it is necessary to have at least a rudimentary knowledge of Turkey, its strategic location within global criminal networks, its various networks and entities operating behind seemingly legitimate fronts, and its connection to the military and political machine in the U.S.



For many Americans Turkey is one of the closest allies of the United States; a most important member of NATO; a candidate for EU membership; and the only Middle-Eastern close ally and partner of Israel. Some acknowledge Turkey’s highly prized status in the United States due to its location as the artery connecting Europe to Asia, its cross borders with Iran, Iraq and Syria to its East and South, with the Balkan states to its west, and with the Central Asian nations to its north and northeast. Others may recognize the country as one of the top U.S. customers for military technology and weapons.


Interestingly enough, these same qualities and characteristics which make Turkey an important ally and strategic partner for the nation states, make it extremely crucial and attractive to global criminal networks active in transferring illegal arms and nuclear technology to rogue states; in transporting Eastern Narcotics, mainly from Afghanistan through the Central Asian states into Turkey, where it is processed, and then through the Balkan states into Western Europe and the U.S.; and in laundering the proceeds of these illegal operations via its banks and those on the neighboring island of Cyprus.





The Real Lords of the Poppy Fields

It is a known fact that there often is a nexus between terrorism and organized crime. Terrorists use Narco-traficking and international crime to support their activities. Frequently, the same criminal gangs involved in narcotics smuggling have links to other criminal activities, such as illegal arms sales, and to terrorist groups. The Taliban's link to the drug trade is irrefutable. In 2001, a report by the U.N. Committee of Experts on Resolution 1333 for sanctions against the Taliban stated that “funds raised from the production and trade of opium and heroin are used by the Taliban to buy arms and war materials and to finance the training of terrorists and support the operation of extremists in neighboring countries and beyond.”



Afghanistan supplies almost 90% of the world's heroin, which is the country’s main cash crop, contributing over $3 billion a year in illegal revenues to the Afghan economy, which equals 50% of the gross national product. In 2004, according to the U.S. state department, 206,000 hectares were cultivated, a half a million acres, producing 4,000 tons of opium. “It is not only the largest heroin producer in the world, 206,000 hectares is the largest amount of heroin or of any drug that I think has ever been produced by any one country in any given year,” says Robert Charles, former assistant secretary of state for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, overseeing anti-drug operations in Afghanistan.



Heroin trafficking is also the main source of funding for the al-Qaeda terrorists. A Time Magazine article in August 2004 reported that al-Qaeda has established a smuggling network that is peddling Afghan heroin to buyers across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, and in turn is using the drug revenues to purchase weapons and explosives. The article states: “…al-Qaeda and its Taliban allies are increasingly financing operations with opium sales. Anti-drug officials in Afghanistan have no hard figures on how much al-Qaeda and the Taliban are earning from drugs, but conservative estimates run into tens of millions of dollars.” Anti-drug officials say the only way to cut off al-Qaeda's pipeline is to attack it at the source: by destroying the poppy farms themselves. This year, Afghanistan's opium harvest is expected to exceed 3,600 tons—enough to produce street heroin worth $36 billion.



Key congressional leaders have been pressing the Pentagon to crack down on the major drug traffickers in Afghanistan upon learning that Al Qaeda is relying more than ever on illicit proceeds from the heroin trade. Congressional investigators who returned from the region in 2004 found that traffickers are providing Osama bin Laden and other terrorists with heroin as funds from Saudi Arabia and other sources dry up. "We now know Al Qaeda's dominant source of funding is the illegal sale of narcotics," said Rep. Kirk-IL, a member of the House Appropriations foreign operations subcommittee, as reported by Washington Times. Rep. Kirk added that Bin Laden's Al Qaeda terror organization is reaping $28 million a year in illicit heroin sales.



It is puzzling to observe that in reporting this major artery of terrorists’ funding, the U.S. mainstream media and political machine do not dare to go beyond the poppy fields of Afghanistan and the fairly insignificant low level Afghan warlords overseeing the crops. Think about it; we are talking about nearly $40 billion worth of products in the final stage. Do you believe that those primitive Afghan warlords, clad in shalvars, sporting long ragged beards, and walking with long sticks handle transportation, lab processing, more transportation, distribution, and sophisticated laundering of the proceeds? If yes, then think again. This multi billion-dollar industry requires highly sophisticated networks and people. So, who are the real lords of Afghanistan’s poppy fields?



For Al Qaeda’s network Turkey is a haven for its sources of funding. Turkish networks, along with Russians’, are the main players in these fields; they purchase the opium from Afghanistan and transport it through several Turkic speaking Central Asian states into Turkey, where the raw opium is processed into popular byproducts; then the network transports the final product into Western European and American markets via their partner networks in Albania. The networks’ banking arrangements in Turkey, Cyprus and Dubai are used to launder and recycle the proceeds, and various Turkish companies in Turkey and Central Asia are used to make this possible and seem legitimate. The Al Qaeda network also uses Turkey to obtain and transfer arms to its Central Asian bases, including Chechnya.



Since the 1950s Turkey has played a key role in channeling into Europe and the U.S. heroin produced in the "Golden Triangle" comprised of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. These operations are run by mafia groups closely controlled by the MIT (Turkish Intelligence Agency) and the military. According to statistics compiled in 1998, Turkey’s heroin trafficking brought in $25 billion in 1995 and $37.5 billion in 1996. That amount makes up nearly a quarter of Turkey’s GDP. Only criminal networks working in close cooperation with the police and the army could possibly organize trafficking on such a scale. The Turkish government, MIT and the Turkish military, not only sanctions, but also actively participates in and oversees the narcotics activities and networks.



In July 1998, Le Monde Diplomatique reported that in an explosive document made public at a press conference in Istanbul, the MIT, Turkish Intelligence Agency, accused Turkey’s national police, of having “provided police identity cards and diplomatic passports to members of a group which, in the guise of anti-terrorist activities, traveled to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Hungary and Azerbaijan to engage in drug trafficking”. MIT provided a list of names of some of the traffickers operating under the protection of the police. The Turkish police returned the compliment and handed over a list of named drug traffickers employed by the MIT!



In January 1997, Tom Sackville, minister of state at the British Home Office, stated that 80% of the heroin seized in Britain came from Turkey, and that his government was concerned by reports that members of the Turkish police, and even of the Turkish government, were involved in drug trafficking.



In an article published in Drug Link Magazine, Adrian Gatton cites the case of Huseyin Baybasin, the famous Turkish heroin kingpin now in jail in Holland. Baybasin explains: “I handled the drugs which came through the channel of the Turkish Consulate in England,” and he adds: “I was with the Mafia but I was carrying this out with the same Mafia group in which the rulers of Turkey were part.” The article also cites a witness statement given to a UK immigration case involving Baybasin’s clan, and states that Huseyin Baybasin had agreed to provide investigators with information about what he knew of the role of Turkish politicians and officials in the heroin trade. The article quotes Mark Galeotti, a former UK intelligence officer and expert on the Turkish mafia, “Since the 1970s, Turkey has accounted for between 75 and 90 per cent of all heroin in the UK. The key traffickers are Turks or criminals who operate along that route using Turkish contacts.” In 2001, Chris Harrison, a senior UK Customs officer in Manchester, told veteran crime reporter Martin Short that Customs could not get at the Turkish kingpins because they are “protected” at a high level.



In 1998, the highly official International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) of the U.S. State Department, revealed that “about 75% of the heroin seized in Europe is either produced in, or derives from, Turkey”, that “4 to 6 tons of heroin arrive from there every month, heading for Western Europe” and that “a number of laboratories for the purification of the opium used in transforming the basic morphine into heroin are located on Turkish soil". The report stresses that Turkey is one of the countries most affected by money-laundering, which takes place particularly via the countries of the ex-Soviet Union, such as Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan, through the medium of casinos, the construction industry, and tourism. INCSR’s 2006 report cites Turkey as a major transshipment point and base of operations for international narcotics traffickers and associates trafficking in opium, morphine base, heroin, precursor chemicals and other drugs.



We know that Al Qaeda and Taliban’s main source of funding is the illegal sale of narcotics. Based on all the reports, facts, and expert statements, we know that Turkey is a major, if not the top, player in the transportation, processing, and distribution of all the narcotics derived from the Afghan poppies, and as a result, it is the major contributing country to Al Qaeda. Yet, to date, more than five years into our over exhaustive ‘war on terror propaganda’, have we heard any mentioning of, any tough message to, any sanction against, or any threat that was issued and targeted at Turkey?



We all know of our president’s ‘selective evilization’ of countries that have been ‘chosen’ to be on our hit list. But how many of us know of our government’s ‘selective go free cards’ that have been issued to those ‘ally countries’ that directly fund and support the terrorist networks? In fact, our government would rather move heaven and earth, gag ‘whistleblowers’ with direct knowledge of these facts, classify congressional and other investigative reports, create a media black-out on these ‘allies’ terrorist supporting activities, than do the right thing; do what it really takes to counter terrorism.





…and the WMDs we actually located & have known about

In his 2002 State of the Union address, President Bush declared he would keep “the world's most destructive weapons" from Al Qaeda and its allies by keeping those weapons from evil governments. Later he told a campaign audience in Pennsylvania, “We had to take a hard look at every place where terrorists might get those weapons and one regime stood out: the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein.” Well, the Iraqi WMD that never was!



Here is what CIA Director Porter Goss said bluntly before the Senate Intelligence Committee in February 2004, “It may be only a matter of time before Al Qaeda or other groups attempt to use chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons. We must focus on that.” And we know that he knows; has known for the longest time!



Seymour Hersh in his March 2003 article quotes Robert Gallucci, a former United Nations weapons inspector who is now dean of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, “Bad as it is with Iran, North Korea, and Libya having nuclear-weapons material, the worst part is that they could transfer it to a non-state group. That’s the biggest concern, and the scariest thing about all this. There’s nothing more important than stopping terrorist groups from getting nuclear weapons.”



Although numerous prestigious reports by agencies and organizations such as IAEA, and news articles in the European media, have clearly established Turkey, and various international networks operating in and out of Turkey, as major players within the global nuclear black-market and illegal arms sales, the relevant agencies and main media in the U.S. have maintained a completely silent and hands off position.



Nuclear black-market related activities depend on Turkey for manufacturing nuclear components, and on its strategic location as a transit point to move goods and technology to nations such as Iran, Pakistan, and others. Not only that, Turkey’s status and close relationship with the U.S. enables it to obtain (steal) technology and information from the U.S.



Lying at the crossroads not only between Europe and Asia, but also between the former Soviet Union and the Middle East, Turkey is already a well-established transit zone for illicit goods, including nuclear material and illegal weapons sales. According to a report by Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEA), at least 104 nuclear smuggling incidents had occurred in the past eight years in Turkey. For instance, in September 1999, 5 Kilograms of Uranium enriched to 4.6 percent were confiscated from an international smuggling ring in Turkey, which included four Turkish, one Azerbaijani, and three Kazakhstani citizens. The report cites over one hundred incidents like this, and these are only cases that have been intercepted and reported.



Turkey played a major role in Pakistan and Libya’s illicit activities in obtaining nuclear technologies. In June 2004, Stephen Fidler, a reporter for Financial Times reported that in 2003, Turkish centrifuge motors and converters destined for Libya's nuclear weapons program turned up in Tripoli aboard a ship that had sailed from Dubai. One of those detained individuals in this incident, a ‘respected and successful’ Turkish Businessman, Selim Alguadis, was cited in a public report from the Malaysian inspector-general of police into the Malaysian end of a Pakistani-led clandestine network that supplied Libya, Iran and North Korea with nuclear weapons technologies, designs and expertise. According to the report, “he supplied these materials to Libya." Mr. Alguadis also confessed that he had on several occasions met A Q Khan, the disgraced Pakistani scientist who has admitted transmitting nuclear expertise to the three countries. Selim Alguadis remains a successful businessman in Turkey with companies in several other countries. He was released immediately after being turned over to Turkish authorities. His partner, another well-known and internationally recognized wealthy businessman, Gunes Cire, also actively participated in transferring nuclear technology and parts to Iran, Pakistan and North Korea. Although under investigation by several international communities, Alguadis and his partners continued to roam free in Turkey and conduct their illegitimate operations via their ‘legit international business’ front companies.



David Albright and Corey Hinderstein of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) identify Turkey’s major role in the nuclear black-market. According to their report, workshops in Turkey made the centrifuge motor and frequency converters used to drive the motor and spin the rotor to high speeds. These workshops imported subcomponents from Europe, and they assembled these centrifuge items in Turkey. Under false end-user certificates, these components were shipped from Turkey to Dubai for repackaging and shipment to Libya.



Turkey’s illegal arms smuggling activities are not limited to Europe and the Middle East; many of these activities reach U.S. soil. According to a report published by the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, in April 2004 the Italian police searched a container destined for the port of New York onboard a Turkish ship at the port of Tauro during a routine customs inspection, sparked by discrepancies between the various customs declarations. Inside the container more than 8,000 AK47 assault rifles, 11 submachine guns, and magazines worth over seven million dollars were discovered.



Our tough talking president works very hard to sound convincing when he says ‘we have to take a hard look at every place where terrorists might get those weapons;’ in fact, he has succeeded in fooling many into believing those words. However, while he was determined to move heaven and earth to get our nation into a war and a quagmire with a country that did NOT possess ‘those weapons,’ he refused and continues to refuse to look at his own ‘allies-packed backyard’ where he would find a few that not only do possess ‘those weapons,’ but also distribute and sell them to the highest bidders no matter what their affiliation.

* * * *



Curiously enough, despite these highly publicized reports and acknowledgements of Turkey’s role in these activities, Turkey continues to receive billions of dollars of aid and assistance annually from the United States. With its highly placed co-conspirators and connections within the Pentagon, State Department and U.S. Congress, Turkey never has to fear potential sanctions or meaningful scrutiny; just like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The criminal Turkish networks continue their global criminal activities right under the nose of their protector, the United States, and neither the catastrophe falling upon the U.S. on September Eleven, nor their direct and indirect role and ties to this terrorist attack, diminish their role and participation in the shady worlds of narcotics, money laundering and illegal arms transfer.



The ‘respectable’ Turkish companies established and operate bases in Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and other similar former soviet states. Many of these front companies, disguised under construction and tourism entities, have received millions of dollars in grants from the U.S. government, allocated to them by the U.S. congress, to establish and operate criminal networks throughout the region; among their networking partners are Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and the Albanian Mafia. While the U.S. government painted Islamic charity organizations as the main financial source for Al Qaeda terrorists, it was hard at work trying to cover up the terrorists’ main financial source: narcotics and illegal arms sales. Why?



For years and years, information and evidence being collected by the counterintelligence operations of certain U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies has been prevented from being transferred to criminal and narcotics divisions, and from being shared with the Drug Enforcement Agency and others with prosecutorial power. Those with direct knowledge have been prevented from making this information available and public by various gag orders and invocation of the State Secrets Privilege. Why?



Is this due to the fact that the existence and survival of many U.S. allies; Turkey, almost all Central Asian nations, and after the September Eleven attack, Afghanistan; greatly depend on cultivating, processing, transporting, and distributing these illegal substances? Is it caused by the fact that a major source of income for those who procure U.S. weapons and technology, our military industrial complex’s bread and butter, is being generated from this illegal production and illegal dealings? Or, is it the fear of exposing our own financial institutions, lobbying firms, and certain elected and appointed officials, as beneficiaries?



When it comes to criminal and shady global networks most people envision either Mafiosi like entities who keep to themselves and are separated from society, or, street level gangster-like criminals. Contrary to these expectations, the top tier Turkish criminal networks consist mainly of respectable looking businessmen, some of whom are among the top international businessmen, diplomats, politicians, and scholarly individuals. Their U.S. counterparts are equally respected and recognizable; some of whom are high-level appointed bureaucrats within the State Department and the Pentagon; some are elected officials, and others consist of the combination of the two who have now set up their own companies and lobbying groups.

The American Turkish Council (ATC)

Operating tax-free and under the radar is one of the most powerful “non-profit” associations in the U.S., the American Turkish Council (ATC). Some who are familiar with its operations and players describe it as ‘Mini AIPAC;’ this description aces it. ATC followed the AIPAC model; with the direct help of AIPAC & JINSA, it created a base out of which to stretch its tentacles, reaching the highest echelons of our government. While the ATC is an association in name and in charter, the reality is that it and other affiliated associations are the U.S. government, lobbyists, foreign agents, and MIC. Investigative journalist, John Stanton, correctly describes the ATC as an extraordinary group of elite and interconnected Republicans, Democrats and corporate and military heavyweights who are spearheading one of the most ambitious strategic gambits in U.S. history.



Included in ATC’s management, board of directors, and advisors; in addition to Turkish individuals of ‘interest;’ is a dizzying array of U.S. individuals. The ATC is led by Ret. General Brent Scowcroft, who serves as Chairman of the Board; George Perlman of Lockheed Martin, the Executive Vice President; other board members include: Former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, Ret. General Elmer Pendleton, Ret. General Joseph Ralston, Ret. Col. Preston Hughes, Alan Colegrove of Northrop Grumman, Frank Carlucci of Carlyle Group, Christine Vick of Cohen Group, Representative Robert Wexler, Former Rep. Ed Whitfield…Basically many formers; statesmen, ‘dime a dozen generals,’ and representatives.



On the members - paying clients – side; their list includes all the MIC’s who’s who, such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman; the Washington Lobby scene’s who’s who; The Cohen Group, The Livingston Group, Washington Group International…



Of course, there are also many Turkish companies that are members of the ATC. Most of these companies have branches and operations in Libya, Dubai, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan. Although the official listings of their businesses are cited as ‘construction,’ ‘real estate’, ‘manufacturing,’ and ‘tourism’; the main activities of these businesses are known to be related to global illegal arms sales and narcotic processing and trafficking. These companies provide necessary fronts and channels to launder proceeds. Curiously enough, hundreds of millions of dollars have been granted by the United States government, approved by the congress, to these Turkish companies under the guise of various ‘U.S. Central Asian development programs;’ and ‘Iraq & Afghanistan reconstruction programs.’



Stanton notes: ‘ATC is joined in the creation of the New EuroAsia by the American Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce (AACC). AACC’s Honorary Council of Advisors just happens to have General Scowcroft and the following persons of significance: Henry Kissinger and James Baker III. Former Council members include **** Cheney and Richard Armitage, and Board of Trustee members include media-overkill subject Richard Perle of AEI, and Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas.’





The MIC Factor

In part1 we discussed the MIC as ‘agents by default;’ marriages and loyalties based on ‘mutual benefit;’ our previous example was Saudi Arabia, top customer of U.S. weaponry. Well, Turkey only tails the Saudis slightly in that category; between 1992 and 1996, Turkey was the second largest importer of weaponry, spending more than $7 billion in four years. A report by the World Policy Institute shows that Turkey is the third largest recipient of U.S. military aid, behind Israel and Egypt. Between 1994 and 2003, Turkey took delivery of more than $6.8 billion in U.S. weaponry and services.



In fiscal year 1989, U.S. aid to Turkey was $563,500,000. According to a Multi National Monitor Report, in 1991, Turkey received more than $800 million in U.S. aid, “an exceptional return” on its $3.8 million investment in Washington lobbyists. At the time, International Advisors, INC. (Douglas Feith & Richard Perle lobbying firm as registered agents for Turkey) was paid more than $1 million for representing Turkey in the U.S. for the purpose of securing these types of deals. In 2003, Turkey received a $1 billion aid package. During this period their registered and known lobbyists were the Livingston Group, headed by the former Speaker of the House Bob Livingston, and Solarz Associates, headed by a formerly powerful Representative, Stephen Solarz. Turkey, from 2000 to 2004, for only four years, paid Livingston $9 million for his lobbying services. What did the Republic of Turkey get for its $2 million per year investment in Ex-Congressman Livingston’s services?



A Joint Report by the Federation of American Scientists and the World Policy Institute found that the vast majority of U.S. arms transfers to Turkey were subsidized by U.S. taxpayers. In many cases, these taxpayer funds are supporting military production and employment in Turkey, not in the United States. Of the $10.5 billion in U.S. weaponry delivered to Turkey since 1984, $8 billion in all has been directly or indirectly financed by grants and subsidized loans provided by the U.S. government. Many of the largest deals - such as Lockheed Martin's sale of 240 F-16s to the Turkish air force and the FMC Corporation's provision of 1,698 armored vehicles to the Turkish army - involve co-production and offset provisions which steer investments, jobs, and production to Turkey as a condition of the sale. For example, Turkey's F-16 assembly plant in Ankara - a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) - employs 2,000 production workers, almost entirely paid for with U.S. tax dollars.



Let’s recap the above data: Not only does our government, actually, our taxpayers, subsidize $8 billion of Turkey’s $10 billion weapons purchases; the production of this weaponry and the associated employment occurs not in the U.S., but overseas, in Turkey. We, the taxpayers, are subsidizing these purchases; our nation readily transfers its technology to a country that ranks high in global narcotics, terrorist and WMD related activities; while a select few MIC related firms such as Lockheed and the pimping middlemen, the lobbyists, get fatter and richer.





One Stop Shop: The Cohen Group

Like many other former statesmen, William Cohen, former Secretary of Defense, dived into the business of lobbying and consulting, and created his own Washington firm, The Cohen Group, which works for some of the largest companies in the defense industry, such as Lockheed Martin, and serves numerous foreign players. The Cohen Group is one of the primary and most active members of the American Turkish Council (ATC). Cohen’s client, Lockheed Martin, happens to be on the board of ATC, in addition to being listed as ATC’s top paying client.



The group claims on its Website that its principals have "a century and a half of combined experience in the Congress, the Defense Department, the State Department, the White House, and state and local governments" and that they “have developed extensive expertise and relationships with key international political, economic, and business leaders and acquired invaluable experiences with the individuals and institutions that affect our clients' success abroad.” Abroad indeed. With a few ‘dime a dozen generals’ and former statesmen, the firm owes its phenomenal speedy success to interests ‘abroad’ and of course, the MIC! Let’s look, with great amazement, I hope, at how this ingenious lobby venture serves as foreign agent for several influences without having to register as such; with complete immunity against any scrutiny.



According to Intelligence Online, in its March 27, 2006 issue, Cohen accompanied Bush on his trip to India and Pakistan in March 2006. The Cohen Group is very active in India; Joseph Ralston, Cohen’s Vice Chairman, led two delegations of U.S. Defense Chiefs to India the previous year. The trips were organized in conjunction with the U.S. India Business Council; among the participants were Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing.



On June 9, 2006, Intelligence Online reports ‘already operating in India, the Cohen Group headed by William Cohen, has just opened an office in Beijing... Since 2003 the Cohen Group has equally been employing Christine Vick. She is a former Vice President of Kissinger Associates; the consultancy founded by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and had been in charge of the firm’s Chinese business.’



Prior to the October 2005 release of Paul Volcker's report on violations of the United Nations' Iraq oil-for-food program, the Australian wheat exporter AWB Limited hired Cohen’s firm. AWB paid approximately $A300 million in trucking fees on its wheat contracts to a Jordanian company, Alia, which owns no trucks! The funds were funnelled to Saddam’s regime. AWB hired Cohen Group as part of its ‘strategy, ’ code-named ‘Project Rose’, to deal with the UN inquiry headed by Paul Volcker and corruption allegations made against it by U.S. wheat farmers and ‘hostile US politicians.’ Cohen Group is not a law firm; what kind of services and representation is it providing for this criminal case?



So who are the key players at Cohen’s lobby firm, giving it its value? Well of course, a handful of powerful formers; in addition to Cohen as the top principal we have former Undersecretary of State Mark Grossman, and two formerly high-level ‘dime a dozen generals:’ General Joseph Ralston and General Paul Kern; let’s briefly look at them; shall we?







Ret. General Paul Kern

Cohen Group senior counselor is retired general Paul J. Kern, a former head of the Army Materiel Command, who recently served on a panel convened by the Defense Department to recommend improvements in how it acquires weapons systems; of course, a topic of great interest to Cohen clients.



Pentagon’s Defense Acquisition Performance Assessment Panel , DAPAP, was created to recommend changes in the awarding of military contracts. Over half of this panel is executives of large defense corporations. Among the Committee’s six members are Frank Cappuccio, VP of Lockheed Martin, and retired General Kern, who is the Senior Counselor of the Cohen Group!



When the Pentagon is informed of wasteful practices, it commonly ignores them. Congressman Walter Jones, (R-N.C.) is quoted as understating, "We’ve got an agency that is not doing its job of being a watchdog for the taxpayers." Retired Army Reserve officer Paul Fellencer Sr. complained to the Pentagon’s fraud hot line last year about $200-million worth of outrageous overpayments for ordinary supplies. Pentagon investigators never bothered to call him and dismissed his tip as "unsubstantiated," the news service said.



One wonders how many American citizens are aware of the fact that a ‘dime a dozen general’ such as Kern, who happens to be a Senior Counsel of a lobby firm with foreign interests and MIC representation, who happens to sit on the board of Lockheed Martin, gets to sit on a panel that monitors and advises on awarding military contracts to the private MIC companies by the Pentagon. Would it take an absolute genius to figure out that this is ‘putting a fox in charge of the hen house’? If not, then how could this get past the decision makers at the Pentagon? How come our lawmakers, those in charge of ensuring the checks and balances in our government, those we consider our representatives, sit there either unaware or unbothered by this red flag visible from a hundred miles away? What happened to ‘investigative journalists with good noses;’ were they all inflicted by congested sinuses at the same time?





Fmr. Gen. Joseph Ralston

General Joseph Ralston, one of Cohen Group’s Vice Chairmen, is on the board of Lockheed Martin, which paid the Cohen Group $550,000 in 2005, according to a Lockheed filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ralston is also a member of the 2006 Advisory Board of the American Turkish Council (ATC), and one of Turkey’s top advocates. If you think this ‘dime a dozen general’ ended one career and removed himself from the U.S. government by becoming ‘the foreign agent man,’ think again after reading the following.



On August 28, 2006, the U.S. State Department appointed the former U.S. Air Force General, current Vice Chairman of the Cohen Group, board member of American Turkish Council, registered lobbyist for Lockheed Martin, Joseph Ralston, as a “Special Envoy” for countering the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK)! Lo and behold, Ralston’s appointment came as Turkey was finalizing the purchase of 30 new Lockheed Martin F-16 aircraft valued at $3 billion, and as Turkey was due to make its decision on the $10 billion purchase of the new Lockheed Martin F-35 JSF aircraft. Coincidentally, the U.S. Congress approved the sale of the F-16s to Turkey in October 2006, shortly after Ralston’s return from Turkey.



While the implications of Ralston’s appointment caused a major stir within the Kurdish community and organizations, mainly pointing to Ralston’s position with the Turkish lobby in the U.S. (he is on the board of ATC), and within Turkey’s own communities, pointing to Ralston’s position with Lockheed Martin (he is on the board of Lockheed Martin), our own media, watchdog organizations, and congress let this gargantuan conflict of interest pass under the radar.



Our government sent this man, Ralston, as a special envoy to help resolve the highly critical Northern Iraq situation with possible dire consequences in the near future. Considering Ralston’s livelihood and his loyalties, as a member of the board of the directors of Lockheed Martin, as the vice chairman of a lobbying firm with foreign interests, as an advisor and board member for the most powerful Turkish Lobby group, ATC, who did this man represent while in Turkey as the special envoy? What interests did he really represent; Iraq’s situation, Lockheed’s livelihood, which depends on further conflicts and bloodshed; the corrupt and criminal government of Turkey and its representation via ATC; or, the furthering of the Cohen Group’s future pimping opportunities?



Why in the world did no one within the U.S. mainstream media give even the slightest coverage of this conflict of interest? Why did no one, Democrat or Republican, in our congress make a peep? Why haven’t we heard anyone asking Ralston the most important question, in dire need of an answer: ‘Who’s your daddy Ralston; boy?’ Ralston’s position is no different than what is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as: “A person conceived and born out of wedlock.” With the possibility of any one of four daddies, and without the benefit of a DNA test, how do we go about determining Ralston’s real daddy?







Fmr. Undersecretary Marc Grossman

The second Vice Chairman of Cohen’s firm is Marc Grossman, who was the U.S. Undersecretary for Political Affairs in the State Department from 2001 until 2005. From November 1994 to June 1997, he served as U.S. Ambassador to Turkey. In January 2005 Grossman resigned from his position and joined the Cohen Group. In late December 2005, Grossman joined Ihlas Holding, a large and alleged shady Turkish company which is also active in several Central Asian countries. Grossman is reported to receive $100,000 per month for his advisory position with Ihlas.’ Most and foremost, Grossman is known for his extraordinarily cozy relationship with Turkey and Israel; followed by Pakistan.



Here is Grossman as the key speaker at an ATC conference in March 2002; while Undersecretary of State; and here it is followed by Grossman’s visit to Turkey in December 2002, to approve the $3 billion U.S. aid to Turkey for the Iraq Cooperation deal. There he goes again, Grossman back to Turkey in December 2003 re: approval of Turkey’s eligibility to participate in tenders for Iraq’s reconstruction! Here is Grossman as the key speaker at an ATC Conference held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in December 2004, while Undersecretary. Here is Grossman as the guest of honor and key speaker at the American Turkish Society dinner in New York in February 2005, while Undersecretary. Here he is again, at the lavish Turkish Ottoman Dinner Gala in November 2005. Here is Grossman at the award dinner gala by the Turkish lobby group, the Assembly of American Turkish Association (ATAA), in Chicago, receiving his award in November 2005. Here is Grossman as the key speaker at the ATC annual conference in March 2006, and later, in June 2006, at the MERIA Conference to discuss Turkey’s importance to the U.S. & Israel. This list can go on for pages and pages; but I believe you all get it; right?



Here is a comment by Wolfowitz during his visit to Turkey: ”I'm delighted to be back in Turkey and so is my colleague Marc Grossman, who feels like Turkey is a second home.” Second home indeed, Mr. Grossman!



Please do not make the grave and naive mistake of assuming that Grossman found and obtained his highly lucrative and questionable positions after his resignation in January 2005. Within two months after his confident resignation, this boy got the vice chairmanship of the Cohen Group. Only six months later, Grossman ended up securing a ‘special advisory’ position for a foreign company that reported his monthly fee at $100,000 a month. The industrious Grossman seems to be juggling so many balls simultaneously: numerous foreign sponsored dinner speeches, the demanding pimping activities of Cohen’s firm, the very ‘special advising’ of a shady foreign company…



We all have a pretty good idea how long and how much work it takes to secure that level of income and those positions. Did Grossman beat the odds and get lucky as soon as he got out of the State Department? Did he hit the jackpot? Or, did he diligently and industriously work at it, while in his position as the ambassador to Turkey and as Deputy Secretary of State? Did he sell his soul while under his oath of office? Did he sell our government’s soul? Did he sell our nation and its interests? If so; for what and how much?

* * * *



Long gone are the days when generals were content to retire and go back home where they held their heads high as honorable patriots and heroes who had served their nation; where they marched in their towns’ parades as proud distinguished men and women who had fulfilled their duty to the people. Today, as we clearly see, they perceive themselves and their authority as a commodity; they go about marketing their worth (nationally and internationally; foreign and domestic) long before they leave their positions as public servants.



The same goes for many of our statesmen. While in office, Grossman and others like him appear to have one objective in mind and in action: to make sure that their future employer who is waiting for them on the other side of the revolving door will receive special and lucrative arrangements so that they can be compensated handsomely later.



In Part1, we briefly described the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), established to insure that the American public and its lawmakers know the source of propaganda intended to sway public opinion, policy, and laws; and the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) of 1995, which was passed to make the regulation and disclosure of lobbying the federal government more effective. The article emphasized that both of these cosmetic laws are filled with exemptions and loopholes that allow minimization of, and in some cases complete escape from, warranted scrutiny, and have serious loopholes and limitations.



The Cohen Group is an excellent case, illustrating the futility of FARA, since the firm does not have to be registered. They can claim that Turkey is not their ‘direct’ client; they can argue that they are not getting paid ‘directly’ by the government of Turkey or any other foreign entity or government. They certainly can; no matter that Grossman receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from a dubious Turkish company. Does Cohen discount Grossman’s Vice Chairmanship salary accordingly? No matter that half a million dollars per year from their client Lockheed Martin is mainly for services provided to Turkey, and having the group’s second chairman serve on Lockheed’s board is another way to get around all restrictions. The incestuous relationship twists and turns: The Cohen Group on the board of ATC, The Cohen Group a paying member client of ATC, The Cohen Group as Lockheed’s lobbyist, Cohen’s men on the board of Lockheed, Lockheed on the board of ATC, Lockheed also a paying client of ATC…How is your head; spinning yet?



We are proud of the large turnout at the ballot box for the midterm elections a few weeks ago; a sign of participatory citizenship. Perhaps we’ll be repeating this phenomenon, if not increasing it, for the presidential elections in two years; another means to demonstrate our ‘democratic government process in action’ for badly needed change. But who really runs our country? Who really shapes our public policies and determines the flow of our hard-earned tax money entrusted to our government? If you had the patience to go through this article, which sheds light on only a fragment of what really takes place behind our backs, within the halls of our government, in all three branches, you would start questioning your significance as a voter and taxpayer, and you would begin wondering whether you are governed by who you think you are.



The foreign influence, the lobbyists, the current highly positioned civil servants who are determined future ‘wanna be’ lobbyists, and the fat cats of the Military Industrial Complex, operate successfully under the radar, with unlimited reach and power, with no scrutiny, while selling your interests, benefiting from your tax money, and serving the highest bidders regardless of what or who they may be. This deep state seems to operate at all levels of our government; from the President’s office to Congress, from the military quarters to the civil servants’ offices. Let’s let Marcus Cicero’s timeless warning from over two thousand years ago put the finishing touch on this article:

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder[er] is less to fear.”- - Marcus Tullius Cicero

*David Icke Update*

HENRY KISSINGER ...

. CHILD OF BABYLON

*The David Icke Newsletter Goes Out On Saturday *

'It is through Kissinger Associates and other sources, like the Bilderberg
Group, that he has continued to manipulate events while apparently no longer
in government. I say 'apparently' because he has been at the heart of
government through the administrations of Bush-Reagan (the right way round),
Boy Bush-Cheney and even Bill Clinton, who answers to the same web as the
Bush family.

A CIA scientist who was ordered to report to the Oval Office during the
father Bush presidency told me of his shock to find Henry Kissinger sitting
in the president's chair and conducting the whole meeting while Bush just
nodded. This was at a time when Kissinger was supposed to be nothing to do
with government.'

DAVID ICKE SERIOUSLY NEEDS YOUR HELP FOR THIS FINAL PUSH

Next week David Icke goes to court in the United States to secure the
survival of everything he has built and worked for over more than 20 years
of effort against all the odds.

There are forces, of course, who wish to destroy it, and him, and bring an
end to all that he communicates and has already produced to wake up a
slumbering world sleepwalking into the global Nazi state.

Virtually everything he has ever earned has gone into paying massive legal
bills over the last 9 months to meet this challenge to everything he has
done and everything that he stands for.

People have no idea of the challenges he and his family have been facing,
while still continuing to communicate the information that the world so
desperately needs to hear.

Next week will decide the outcome and we need some serious financial support
for the legal costs this will incur. If we don't get that support, the work
of David Icke is basically over.

OK...you have read them all by now...but this one really takes the cake and makes it all so clear...911 was botched! thank god...read how here and consider yourself lucky to have access to this information because it was removed almost as fast as it was posted...


Quote

The best 911 explanation available

...But that's not the most amazinf insight that Shayler has. Even more than this is how 911 was a failed operation. Failed? But it was perfect! The buildings came down!

Yes... but we didn't see the entire game. It's been staring us in the face all this time but it took a brilliant mind with inside information (access to the most classified of intelligence documents) to piece it together. Shayler really is that intelligent. Spend 5 minutes with him and you will see what I mean.

Well, the end game was this: Flight 93 was to land on the Whitehouse. You see, under US law at the time, if that happened, it would be martial law in the US and under those conditions, the entire 911 plot could have been completely tidied up, all the evidence buried. We would not be able to have the 911 truth movement today. Anyone claiming that it was an inside job would be so far out on the extremes of conspiracy theory that they would never be taken seriously and certainly must less of the material available today would have been available to the truth movement.

Now we KNOW that this was planned (martial law) because on the 10th Nov 2001 it had been put in the MSM! There were articles published to the American people about how martial law could be enacted in the event of the US government (Washington DC) being attacked directly. So the US population was actually PRIMED for that.

Not only that, but the antrax attacks DID attack the US government, only it was too late then to declare martial law so Plan B didn't bail them out either. And worse, the antrax was traced by the FBI to US laboratories where on a few select personnel had access to it so it was undeniably and inside job. Which is why the headlines claiming that the anthrax was Iraqi played enough to imprint the mantra in the population's minds, then the entire anthrax hoax was made to quietly and quickly disappear.

So what went wrong?

The shooting down of 93 was a renegade action by a true American hero officer and the pilot that did the deed. The order to shoot down WAS NOT GIVEN. I.e. The inaction was there to guarantee the Whitehouse would be hit. Instead of the lies in the movie "United 93", the real hero of 911 was indeed associated with flight 93 coming down but it was not some fictious all American man in the street blued eyed boys. The real hero remains unknown. Anonymous. Denied. The real hero was the officer that saw the no-shoot as a NORAD botch and did his job and had that aircraft shot down.

The entire planet owes that man its thanks. I wonder if he even lived through the day? They may well have shot him on sight.

Now, I haven't researched this but I am willing to bet good money that if you go back in the news archives, you will find that NONE of the important people were in the Whitehouse on 911. You may even find Bush opponents WERE in the Whitehouse that day!

Not only that, but as Shayler points out, Jeb Bush jumped the gun. He declared martial law too soon in Florida. There was no reason for that declaration and it's one of those key facts that the 911 truth movement has missed. It's key fact for prosecuting as conspiracy to the murders, Jeb Bush as well as the usual suspects in the Administration. It's the smoking gun against Jeb Bush being an insider.

But the "failure" in NORAD and the other points of control, i.e. the things that were meant to allow 93 to hit the Whitehouse were undone by a quick thinking officer who ordered the plane to be taken down. 93 was, to use Shayler's term, a key failure in the plot. A cockup that, to quote Shayler "they simply didn't expect or plan for this".

When you realise this truth, suddenly many of the loose ends click into place. Suddenly, so much makes sense. So many of the Bush "incompetancies" are shown to be not incompetance, but quickstepping out a contingency. The inept neoCon scrambling and bumbling of the invasion is suddenly very clearly a group of well rehearsed, well disciplined, well planned people wrongfooted by the most unexpected of cockups.

Flight 93 is where 911 went wrong for them. And one of the reasons that the propaganda around that plane was in overdrive. United 93 the film, the stories of the heros, the only "black box that survived"... all these were disctractions. Very clever distractions. You see, by keeping the "was is shot down" debate going as an initial catch point for the sheep backed up by the "how come the mobile phones worked?" as the catch point for those not fooled by the first catch point, no-one got thinking about the actual flight itself and the key role it played. No-one has been thinking about the possibility that it was a monumental cockup that the plotters simply hadn't accounted for. No-one has been thinking "what if it had reached its target, what would have happened?". And that's clever human manipulation for you. That's really clever brains thinking at high speed to bail out of a catastrophe.

But 93 went badly wrong for the plotters. Because it gave that little window of opportunity for the truth movement to see the faults in the story, see the holes in the evidence and start to question the official line. Martial law was meant to ensure that no questions could be asked, no evidence could survive and no-one would have the time to ask because of what was meant to immediately follow. The sequence of events would have been so swift that we would be focussed now on the fallout of the WMD use that was almost certainly in the plan. 911 would be a minor footnote that no-one would be interested in by now.

Had 93 reached "mission complete". Had martial law been declared, complete control over the media, release of information and the cleanup (getting rid of the evidence) would have happened and bingo! The entire 911 plot would have played out and the world right now would have been a completely different place. Iran, Syria, Iraq, North Korea, Afghanistan probably would have had nuclear weapons used against them to simply "solve the problem". With the US government "wiped out", no-one would have either held the Bush crowd accoutable nor have the ability to even if they tried.

Which explains another anomally about the plot: How the neoCons so totally screwed up the invasions without an exit strategy. The visible evidence being the mess that Iraq is in with the US having its butt kicked.

See, they never needed an exit strategy because they were never going to invade the way that they were forced to. That was NOT the plan. The plan was to use the overwhelming force of American super weapons in quick, lethal blows that the world would have had to stand by and accept because the US government itself would have been directly attacked, possibly with key opponents to the WH wiped out as part of the deal. Who would stop the US? Indeed, who would even BLAME the US?

Their original plan was perfect. It was a good plan. I was a perfect plan.

There was no need to plant a passport. There was no need to explain 911. If you don't explain then there are no holes in the story because there simply is no story. Your cover is perfect. No 911 commission, no NIST scrambling to prove the impossible, no questions about WTC7. Nothing to attack the neoCon agenda with because no accountability given because under martial law, the US government would be unassailable.

And that also explains those massive FEMA detention camps that GLP was so hyped up about many years ago. We were all mystified as to why they were being built. Now it's clear! Even under martial law there would have been those who didn't agree with the neoCons. Those detention camps would have been filled with these dissidents.

Sit back and think of all the odd behaviour that has puzzled us about the BushCo. How they seem to have wrongfooted themselves all the time. And think about how things would have been different in 93 had hit its target. It all makes perfect sense.

Behind the scenes there must have been frantic redrawing of plans. Years and years of careful, step by step detail was trashed when that missile hit 93. And because of that, errors were made. And because of THAT, we have the truth movement and the very real chance to expose this hoax and nail the guilty party.

Which could be why Bush bought into Paraguay.

Also, look at where Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, Bremer and all the other PNAC players were on the day. Look at their actions. In the light of what was EXPECTED to happen, it all makes sense. Perfect, perfect sense.

This is a startling revelation by Shayler and an absolute lynchpin in understanding 911 and what has followed. It explains so much, ties up so many loose ends and just fits the picture so well, even down to the reactions of the people involved, that it really is the only credible missing piece.

And more still, it's clear that the recycling deal must have been planned months before for the steel shipments from the 911 demolition. All that executed perfectly. But rather than it being a secret kept "for security reasons" away from any public knowledge for decades to come, maybe even centuries, it's now in the open. And one more item to point at the guilty parties with.

For me personally, it's the effectiveness of the psyops of 93 that gets me. How the diversion has worked so extremely well, How the realisation of how 911 was actually a massive cockup simply hasn't featured anywhere up until now.

That makes me shake my head in admiration for the brains that pulled it together. Real professionals. Nasty, evil, but so very clever.
