<span style="font-size: small;"><span><strong>Phil Marshall had
something that someone was willing to kill to
obtain...</strong></span><br /><br /><span>Philip Marshall,
9/11 analysis author and one-time associate of CIA and Drug Enforcement
Administration informant Barry Seal, had in his possession something that
someone was willing to kill for. Marshall, his 17-year old son Alex, 14-year old
daughter Macaila, and pet Shih-tzu "Suki" were shot to death in their Murphys,
California home some time during the evening of January 31. The Calaveras County
Sheriff ruled the gun shot deaths a murder-suicide with Marshall being the
culprit. Marshalls was found dead with a single bullet to the left side of his
head. Marshall's children had been shot one time each through the head. The dog
was found in a bedroom shot once.<br /><br />The Sheriff's Department authorized the
crime scene to be cleaned by professional cleaners even though on at least two
occasions after the yellow crime scene tape was lifted from the premises, law
enforcement officers, including those driving a state of California vehicle,
were seen searching the Marshall home.<br /><br />On January 20, Marshall attended
an Obama inauguration party at a neighbor's home. In his books, Marshall claimed
that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, the Saudi government, and neo-cons were behind
the 9/11 terrorist attack.<br /></span><span><img border="0" height="251" src="http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/calaverasenterprise.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/b/d6/bd6cd8d0-6f1a-11e2-b049-001a4bcf887a/5110372c44393.image.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="376" /><br /><em>Phil Marshall with his children at a recent family
wedding in North Carolina.</em><br /><br />After WMR investigated the area around
the Marshall home on February 13 and discovered a number of empty banker's boxes
at the front door, we were informed that later that evening, someone broke into
the house via a sliding door at the rear of the home in the gated community of
Forest Meadows.<br /><br />The next day, two family members and a friend of
Ma</span><span>rshall's estranged wife reportedly
entered the home and rifled through drawers and boxes of papers in the garage in
search of something. Forest Meadows Homeowners Association president David
Turner was alerted to their presence and told them they had no permission to
enter the premises. Turner also remarked that they "were making quite a mess."
According to a neighbor, the estranged in-laws claimed they were looking for
bills that had to be paid. It is known that Marshall was working on a fourth
book. Marshall told a close friend shortly before his death: "You're not going
to believe the stuff I'm going to have in the next book."</span><br /><br /><span>Marshall's friends are not sure what happened to his
computer, with some reporting it is being held by the Sheriff's office and
others claiming it is in the possession of Marshall's estranged wife. WMR has
obtained a web posting from an in-law of Marshall's that states that in dealing
with members of the press, high school friends of Marshall's children are to
answer: ". . . this is a result of a DIAGNOSED (caps in original) mentally ill
person getting their hands on a gun."</span> <span>There is no record of Marshall being diagnosed with a
mental illness. He had only been treated temporarily in the past for
depression.</span><br /><br /><img alt="File:Philip Marshall, July 1984.jpg" border="0" height="275" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/Philip_Marshall,_July_1984.jpg/800px-Philip_Marshall,_July_1984.jpg" width="443" /><br /><span><em>Phil Marshall,

July 1984 at the major CIA arms-drugs transfer point of Mena, Arkansas. Mena
operated pursuant to an unwritten agreement between Arkansas Governor Bill
Clinton and CIA director William Casey. Marshall, a contract pilot for the CIA
and DEA before joining Eastern Airlines, flew DEA informant Barry Seal into and
out of Lakefront and Mena after the former TWA pilot and one-time associate of
CIA operatives Ted Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, and Port Goss lost his pilot's
license amid a federal investigation of drug smuggling by Medellin drug lords

of Marshall's told WMR that Marshall, after becoming an Eastern pilot, told him
when he first saw indicted Iran-contra scandal figure Lt. Col. Oliver North on
television he remarked that he had met him at New Orleans Lakefront Airport.
Marshall's first book, a novel titled Lakefront Airport," was based on his
recollections of his time working with Seal, the DEA, and CIA. <br /><br />North was
involved in smuggling cocaine from Colombia in return for Escobar's and the
Medellin cartel's support for arming the Nicaraguan contras. Seal was gunned
down in his car execution-style in 1986 in Baton Rouge shortly before he was to
testify against senior White House officials, including Vice President George H
W Bush, whose private phone number was found in the trunk of Seal's car along

senior judge. The remainder of the cleaning up operation on Seal's estimated
$1.2 net worth was handled by U.S. Judge Martin Feldman, a Reagan-appointee, who
later was found to be a stockholder of BP and Transocean, two firms involved in
the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Feldman did not reuse himself from cases
involving the oil disaster and the firms. Feldman also serves on the top secret

Hey, Michael Scheuer, I think you are getting it figured out.
Why indeed were all your efforts to get bin Laden obstructed? Because
John Brennan was bin Laden’s minder and protector at that time. Bin
Laden was always a CIA asset. In the years before 9/11, when you were
head of Alec Station, he was being carefully cultivated as the the patsy
to take the fall for 9/11. Of course, he had nothing to do with the
actual operation and none of those “hijackers” could fly a plane, which
were remote controlled, and the towers were demolished with planted
explosives – military grade thermite, to be precise. Now Brennan is
going to be head of the CIA under a President who in my view is 100%
complicit with this crime and has taken the destruction of our freedoms
even farther than Bush did. Keep up the good work!<br />
Unfortunately, what you and all the other posters here are failing
to take into account is that the person who did this was not a member of
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, which is a fiercely
non-political scientific association that requires high qualifications
for membership (although anyone can sign their petition). It now has
1700 such highly qualified signatories. It is led by Richard Gage, AIA –
a man of impeccable character and sterling qualifications. The senior
people in AE, I refer to senior physicists, chemists, architects and
engineers, have proved beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt that
World Trade Center 1, 2 and 7 were demolished with explosives. The
evidence is overwhelming. Their “marginalization” is what the government
with its control over the media does to all inconvenient truth-tellers
and whistleblowers. This incident was very, very obviously a government
action to discredit the Architects and Engineers. Most of the people are sheep. Wake up, sheep! You are about to go over a cliff!
For those of you whose slumber is not too deep, here is a video by my
physicist David Chandler. It’s Physics 101 – how to use your eyes...<br />

(بحسب المخطط الاسرائيلي - الاخواني... ) سيجعل من عملية انتقال السلطة امرا سهلا... والشخص المقصود هو فطين البداد الفلسطيني العميل للأجهزة الاسرائيلية... الذي ارتكب فضيحة تجويع اللاجئين السوريين في مخيم الزعتري بعد ان سرق المساعدات الاماراتية والعمانية التي ارسلتها حكومات البلدين للسوريين في المخيم عن طريق شركات نقل يملكها البداد... فباع الاخير المساعدات ولم يصل منها الا " اشانتيون " اي عينات ما ادى الى الاضطرابات الشهيرة بين اللاجئين والشرطة الاردنية... . <br />البداد فلسطيني... حصل على ثروة من خلال ولعه الاسرائيلي... ولعبه دور الوسيط بين المستوطنات الاسرائيلية في الضفة, وبين الزبائن الذي يشتروا المنتجات الزراعية والصناعية لتلك المغتصبات... حيث يبدل البداد عبر عماله ومصانعه, تغليف البضاعة الاسرائيلية باخرى اردنية, ويبيعها الى دول الخليج والى العراق على اساس انها من المنتجات الاردنية... . <br /><br />لكن اخطر ما في علاقات الرجل بالصهاينة... هو عمله الامني, الذي يقال بأنه خطير وهام... فهو من يؤمن للصهاينة كل ما يحتاجونه من امور لوجستية ، وهو يقدم الغطاء لخلايا اسرائيلية امنية وعسكرية... تتحضر في عمان خاصة وفي الاردن عامة... لاثارة اضطرابات امنية تساعد الاخوان على اسقاط النظام والسيطرة على مؤسسات الحكومة... رغم ان الاردن دولة صديقة لاسرائيل... فتحت كل اسرارها الامنية والعسكرية للصهاينة... لا بل ان مركز الموساد والشين بيت وامان في عمان اكثر نشاطا من مثيله في واشنطن.... <br />لكن للمصلحة الصهيونية العليا اولوية ، وانهاء القضية الفلسطينية بتوحيد شرق الاردن مع عشرة بالمئة من غربه لها مفعول السحر على قادة اسرائيل... لذا يبدو انهم مستعدون للتضحية بصديقهم الملك عبد الله الاردني... لتنصيب الاخوان... وصلتهم المشتركة مع الاسرائيليين سيكون له دور في حكومة ما بعد اسقاط الملك... <br /><br />وتقول معلومات اسرائيلية ان عددا من البيوت الامنة يجري اعدادها الان لتتسع لمئات من عناصر القوات الخاصة الاسرائيلية التي ستساعد الاخوان في ساعة الصفر على انهاء حكم الهاشميين من خلال ضرب قواتهم الامنية... وشق استخباراتهم... وادخالها في حالة بلبلة... تنهي امساكها القوي بالامن في البلاد . وفي هذا المجال تقول المعلومات ان من تقود عملية التنسيق مع فطين البداد لاتمام عملية استئجار البيوت الامنة والمخازن والكراجات اللازمة للقوة الاسرائيلية الخاصة... هي اميركية الاصل سوداء اللون... اعتنقت اليهودية... لانها مولودة لام اسرائيلية واب افرو - اميركي... <br />وهي تتابع لحظة بلحظة عملية الترتيبات التي تتشارك فيها مع فطين البداد....<br />واسم العميلة الاسرائيلية المكلفة بالقضاء على الملك عبد الله وعائلته بمساعدة فطين البداد هي: <br /><br />فكتوريا حداثا Victoria Haddatha معروفة ب Vickky <br />تحمل الجنسية الأمريكية .<br />عمرها 40 سنة بشرتها سوداء اللون... <br />عنوان سكنها نيويورك وتتواجد في الأردن بشكل دائم... <br />رقم هاتفها 12675746500 <br /> خلال حرب تموز, شاركت في عمليات امنية خلف خطوط حزب الله... ونفذت عمليات خاصة لمصلحة قوات النخبة في اسرائيل...، كما أن لها شقيق في الجيش الاسرائيل ...<br />تعمل أيضاً لصالح وكالة HABASH لتجنيد الاميركيين والغربيين لصالح اسرائيل في أميركا والعالم ... <br />فضلا عن فضيحة فطين البداد... الذي اشترى ورقا مطبوعا... وزعم انه حصل على الدكتوراة بالمراسلة... !! <br />وفضيحة سرقته لمساعدات ارسلها الخليجيون للاجئين السوريين في الزعتري</b></span>...<br />

Témoignage Aéroport de Beyrouth. Cette fois-ci je
n’atterrissais pas à Damas pour rentrer chez moi. Suite aux sanctions,
les pays voisins sont devenus un passage nécessaire si l’on veut se
rendre en Syrie. Après deux heures de route, me voici à la frontière où
se mêlent familles revenant d’un séjour au Liban, étudiants,
travailleurs mais aussi des personnes fuyant les combats. Certains ont
fait des kilomètres à pied en n’emportant avec eux que le strict
minimum, à l’écart d’autres étaient entassés dans des bus.
Un sentiment d’impuissance et de désolation prit le dessus sur la joie
de retrouver mon pays. Alors que moi je revenais par choix, eux étaient
contraints de partir. Sur le chemin de Damas, je réalisais combien ce
pays m’avait manqué et je venais de comprendre qu’il continuerait à me
manquer même en y étant présente. Ce pays, blessé, que j’ai vu évoluer
au fil des années et qui un jour peut-être pardonnera pour tout ce qu’on
lui fait subir. Les multiples check points de l’armée régulière,
contrôlant véhicules et identités au plus vite afin d’éviter de longues
files où le danger peut surgir de partout, m’ont vite ramenée à la
triste réalité.
Ce voyage ne serait pas comme tous les précédents, on m’avait prévenue.
Plus rien n’était comme avant. Damas était plongée dans un calme
oppressant, contrastant avec l’habituel brouhaha des rues animées auquel
j’avais toujours été habituée. Tout était calme, trop calme. La vie
semblait continuer son cours, mais à chaque visage croisé des questions
se bousculaient dans ma tête. Est-il possible que parmi ces gens il y en
ait qui seraient prêts à porter atteinte à ce qu’il nous reste de
sécurité et qui contribuent à la destruction de notre pays, ou bien
sont-ils comme la majorité des Syriens écorchés, fatigués, et
profondément écœurés par tout ce qui est en train de nous arriver ?
Maintenant, tout nous paraît suspect, on se méfie d’une voiture mal
garée, d’une personne se rapprochant trop près de nous. Le sens
d’observation s’aiguise au fur et à mesure que la méfiance grandit. Tout
parcours anodin devient dangereux. Ça peut sauter n’importe quand,
n’importe où et emporter n’importe qui ou quoi en l’espace d’une
seconde. On vit constamment dans la probabilité, tout en étant sûrs
d’une unique chose, celle que plus rien n’est comme avant. Malgré le
calme trompeur et le risque continuel, Damas grouille de gens. Les
Syriens, las de vingt mois de crise ont besoin de continuer à vivre, à
respirer. Les cafés ne désemplissent pas jusqu’à la tombée de la nuit, à
l’heure où les magasins abaissent leurs rideaux de fer. Schizophrénie
d’un pays en guerre. Les commerçants tentent d’appâter les clients mais
même si les gens flânent dans les ruelles des souks, ils n’achètent plus
comme avant. La majorité de la population, victime de l’inflation
galopante n’a plus les mêmes moyens financiers.
L’économie a été sévèrement touchée, les prix ont plus que doublé suite à
l’insécurité et aux diverses sanctions qui aggravent le quotidien de
milliers de personnes. Sanctions censées punir le gouvernement, mais qui
étouffent surtout le peuple syrien, que la plupart des chancelleries se
sont donné pour mission de "sauver". Contradiction entre les buts fixés
et les résultats qui en découlent.
A cette pauvreté grandissante, s’ajoute une délocalisation interne
importante. Des personnes contraintes de tout quitter trouvent alors
refuge dans d’autres régions du pays. Ces déplacés ne veulent pas être
considérés comme réfugiés, dépendants des aides extérieures, afin de
continuer à vivre. Des jardins publics ainsi que des écoles sont
transformés en lieux plus sûrs pour ces déplacés internes, oubliés des
médias internationaux, n’ayant plus où aller.
Assurément, plus rien n’est comme avant. Les premiers soirs, au loin,
j’entendais les hélicoptères, les explosions, les tirs, mais ne sachant
pas qui a visé quoi ou qui, je me demandais combien d’infrastructures
ont été détruites, combien de personnes ont été blessées ou tuées,
combien de vies ont été brisées et traumatisées à jamais.
Mais au fur et à mesure que les jours passent, je commence à être comme
ceux qui subissent cette pression continue depuis déjà presque deux ans.
Les sentiments se transforment en lassitude et la compassion en haine
parfois. Une haine envers ceux qui nous ont menés à cette situation,
ceux qui en bénéficient et ceux qui nous détruisent lentement tout en
nous faisant croire qu’ils veulent notre bien. Tous. Notre perception du
bruit a changé, maintenant nous nous méfions du calme et les
bombardements et rafales de tirs deviennent la bande son de notre vie
qui se dessine au jour le jour, en se demandant chaque nuit ce que nous
cache le lendemain et chaque matin ce que nous réservent les prochaines
heures.
Les multiples attentats, les assassinats ciblés, les kidnappings, les
exactions les plus abjectes commises sans aucune humanité et en complète
violation de tous les traités internationaux, le pillage de notre
patrimoine historique millénaire, l’impuissance face à la souffrance
indescriptible des habitants d’Alep, Homs, Daraya et de la Syrie tout
entière font désormais partie de notre quotidien.
Aucun mot, aucun sentiment ne sont assez forts pour exprimer ce que nous
ressentons. Plus rien ne sera plus jamais comme avant, nous ne serons
plus jamais comme avant. Au nom du "Printemps arabe", notre ciel bleu a
été envahi par le gris de la fumée et la noirceur s’est emparée de nos
cœurs. Au nom de la liberté, on nous a confisqué notre liberté et privés
de notre sécurité. Au nom de la religion, ils bafouent la religion. Ils
déchirent notre tissu social, ils sèment et alimentent la haine et
trouvent légitime de tuer l’Autre. Ils remplacent l’odeur du jasmin par
celle du sang, ils espèrent accéder au paradis alors qu’ils ne méritent
que l’enfer.
Au nom des droits de l’Homme, on viole les droits de l’homme, de la
femme et de l’enfant, on nous désinforme, on élimine nos scientifiques,
nos intellectuels, on détruit notre patrimoine historique, on souille
nos lieux de culte, on brûle nos écoles et on pousse notre jeunesse à
s’exiler. Au nom d’intérêts géostratégiques, ils soutiennent leurs
ennemis d’hier et de demain en se servant d’eux aujourd’hui, ils nous
ôtent nos choix politiques, ils se permettent de décider de notre avenir
et s’approprient notre futur, ils s’affrontent dans les instances
internationales au risque de faire éclater un conflit régional, ils
peuvent répéter les erreurs sanglantes du passé, ils font fi de nos vies
car nous ne sommes plus que des pions dans une guerre qui se joue
quotidiennement au prix de notre sang. Ils volent la Syrie à la Syrie.
Mais au nom de la Syrie, malgré la douleur et la colère et par respect
pour nos martyrs nous résisterons, comme la fleur de jasmin - symbole de
Damas - répondant au fusil qui la menace qu’elle ne le craint pas. Tout
comme elle n’a pas craint avant lui ni la massue ni le fer de l’épée et
encore moins la force de la pluie, car tous ces dangers ont tour à tour
disparu alors que le jasmin damascène, lui, n’a jamais cessé et ne
cessera jamais de fleurir.

<span style="font-family: Arial;"> The post-Christian Zioconned Western society has basically degenerated to the point where it is unable to articulate anything around the concepts of "right" or "wrong". A society begins by declaring that "God is dead" and you end up having "leaders of the free world" like Clinton, his infamous "cigar"...and his most infamous White House Murder INC,...<br />Leaders, Real men are by definition always deeply moral and principled in all their actions, be it as officers, as husbands, fathers or friends. Ideas such as "God is dead" or "beyond good and evil" sound very "cool", but their practical application always means the decay and eventual death of the entity which attempts to live by such fallacies. You begin with such nonsense, and you end up being ruled by an entire generation of ass-kissing chickenshits...all over the Globe...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The discovery of Broadwell's license in Rock Creek Park in
DC is a mystery... It has been determined that she is hiding out at her
brother's house near the park. But why would Broadwell, the most
easily-recognized woman in Washington, DC, risk being confronted by the public
while jogging in Rock Creek Park. There is the possibility that Broadwell's
license was stolen and was placed in the park as a veiled warning for the
40-year old not to talk about details of her affair with Petreaus and her other
"connections." Broadwell must be fully aware of what Rock Creek Park and
mistresses mean to everyone in Washington, DC: it is the place where Chandra
Levy's remains were discovered a year after she disappeared. We previously
reported that Levy was murdered because she began telling friends what Condit, a
member of the House Intelligence Committee, had told her about the upcoming
terrorist attack using passenger airplanes on the United States. Condit insisted
that Levy not fly back to California but that she should take Amtrak. The
discovery of Khawam's in-laws' lobbying connections to America's airline,
communications, electronic warfare, and intelligence industries should make
Broadwell stop and think what coded messages about Levy's fate and the barbaric
inside Job of 9/11 are being sent her way. Of course, the Khawam in-laws also
have connections to the thousand pound elephant in the 9/11 room: Israel... And
that should focus attention on Cantor, Binyamin Netanyahu's old pal Mitt Romney,
and other members of Congress who were hoping for a Jimmy Carter-like October
Surprise for Obama arising from the Benghazi diplomatic compound
attack.<br /><br />Broadwell's father, Paul Kranz, of Bismarck, North Dakota, has
said, "This is about something else entirely, and the truth will come out."
Broadwell would do well to heed her dad...<br /><br />And as for professional women
who ply themselves to the rich and powerful, Washington, DC was the scene of an
escort service that used highly-intelligent women to bed down politicians,
Pentagon brass, and diplomats. After going public with her clients' phone list,
Pamela Martin & Associates proprietor Deborah Jeane Palfrey was found
hanging in her mother's laundry room in Florida. Levy and Palfrey: two names to
keep in mind as the Petraeus scandal unfolds...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The FBI agent friend of Jill Kelley has been identified as
Frederick W. Humphries, 47 and married. Assigned to Tampa, he has been described
as "obsessive" in pursuit of Arab and Muslim terrorist suspects. In other words,
he fits the bill as an Islamophobe and blends in nicely with the cabal that was
out to set up Obama in an October Surprise, including the Lebanese Maronite
Christian Kelley, nee Khawam. It was Humphries who sent "shirtless" photos of
himself to Kelley, described by Humphries' de facto union general counsel
Lawrence Berger of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers' Association as a
"joke." Kelley has been described as a liaison between Central Command and the
representatives of various Middle East nations. Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, both
involved in supporting the Libyan rebels who attacked the U.S. consulate in
Benghazi, have officers assigned to CENTCOM at MacDill Air Force Base. Kelley
has had her "Friends of MacDill" social pass for the base
revoked...<br /><br />Although Humphries allegedly spoke to Rep. Reichert in
Washington, it was an FBI colleague of Humphries who reportedly spoke to Eric
Cantor. The rabbit hole gets deeper....</span></div>

.<br /> . <br />Even those
pundits who seem to want to distance U.S. foreign policy from<br />Tel Aviv's
demands and begin treating Israel like any other country<br />sometimes feel
compelled to make excuses and apologies before getting<br />down to the
nitty-gritty. The self-lacerating prologues generally<br />describe how much the
writer really has a lot of Jewish friends and how<br />he or she thinks Israelis
are great people and that Israel is a<br />wonderful country before launching into
what is usually a fairly
mild<br />critique.<br />
. <br />Well, I don't feel that way. I don't like Israel very much. Whether
or<br />not I have Jewish friends does not define how I see Israel and
is<br />irrelevant to the argument.
<br /> . <br />And as for
the Israelis, when I was a CIA officer overseas, I certainly<br />encountered many
of them. Some were fine people and some were not so<br />fine, just like the
general run of people everywhere else in the world.<br />But even the existence of
good upstanding Israelis doesn't alter the<br />fact that the governments that
they have elected are essentially part of<br />a long-running criminal enterprise
judging by the serial convictions of<br />former presidents and prime ministers.
Most recently, former President<br />Moshe Katsav was convicted of rape, while
almost every recent head of<br />government, including the current one, has been
investigated for<br />corruption. Further, the Israeli government is a rogue
regime by most<br />international standards, engaging as it does in torture,
arbitrary<br />imprisonment, and continued occupation of territories seized by
its<br />military. Worse still, it has successfully manipulated my country,
the<br />United States, and has done terrible damage both to our political
system<br />and to the American people, a crime that I just cannot forgive,
condone,<br />or explain
away.<br /> . <br />The
most recent outrage is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's<br />direct
interference in U.S. domestic politics through his appearance in<br />a television
ad appearing in Florida that serves as an endorsement of<br />Republican candidate
Mitt Romney. The Netanyahu ad and his involvement<br />in the election has been
widely reported in the media and has even been<br />condemned by several leading
Jewish congressmen, but it has elicited no<br />response from either Obama or
Romney. <br /> .
<br />Both should be condemning in the strongest terms the
completely<br />unprecedented intervention by a foreign head of government in
an<br />American election. That they are saying nothing is a testament to
the<br />power that Israel and its friends in Congress and the media have
over<br />the U.S. political establishment. Romney might even privately approve
of<br />the ads, as he has basically promised to cede to Netanyahu the right
to<br />set the limits for U.S. policy in the Middle
East.<br /> . <br />And
why is Benjamin Netanyahu in such a lather? It is because President<br />Barack
Obama will not concede to him a 'red line' that would<br />automatically trigger a
U.S. attack on Iran. Consider for a moment the<br />hubris of Netanyahu in
demanding that Washington meet his conditions for<br />going to war with Iran, a
nation that for all its frequently described<br />faults has not attacked anyone,
has not threatened to attack anyone, and<br />has not made the political decision
to acquire a nuclear weapon in spite<br />of what one reads in the U.S. press. At
the U.N., Netanyahu's chart<br />showing a cartoon bomb with a sputtering fuse
reminiscent of something<br />that might have been employed by an anarchist in the
1870s failed to<br />pass any credibility test even for the inevitable
cheerleaders in the<br />U.S. media. If the U.S. is to go to war based on a
Netanyahu cartoon<br />then it deserves everything it gets when the venture turns
sour, most<br />likely Iraq Redux, only 10 times
worse.<br /> . <br />Even
more outrageous, and a lot less reported in the media, were the<br />comments made
by Patrick Clawson, director of research for the<br />Washington Institute for
Near East Policy (WINEP), an organization<br />founded by the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). WINEP<br />is widely viewed as a major component
of the Israel Lobby in Washington<br />and is closely tied to the Israeli
government, with which it<br />communicates on a regular basis.
<br /> . <br />Clawson
heads WINEP's Iran Security Initiative. At a briefing on Sept.<br />24 he said, "I
frankly think that crisis initiation is really tough, and<br />it's very hard for
me to see how the United States ' uh' president can<br />get us to war with Iran."
The traditional way America gets to war is<br />what would be best for U.S.
interests."<br /> .
<br />Note that Clawson states his conviction that initiating a crisis to
get<br />the U.S. involved in a war with Iran and thereby fooling the
American<br />people into thinking that it is the right thing to do is actually
a<br />"U.S. interest." He cites Pearl Harbor, Fort Sumter, the Lusitania,<br />and
the Gulf of Tonkin as models for how to get engaged. .<br /><br />Which inevitably
leads to Clawson's solution: "if the Iranians aren't<br />going to compromise it
would be best if someone else started the war"<br />Iranian submarines
periodically go down. Some day one of them may not<br />come up. We are in the
<br />game of using covert means against the Iranians. We could get nastier
at<br />that.- Clawson is clearly approving of Israel's staging an
incident<br />that would lead to war, possibly even a false-flag operation carried
out<br />by Israel that would implicate the United States directly, or he
is<br />urging the White House to do the job itself.
<br /> . <br />Clawson not
surprisingly has never served in the U.S. military and has a<br />Ph.D. in
economics from the New School for Social Research, which would<br />at first
glance seem to disqualify him from figuring out how to set up a<br />covert
operation to sink a submarine and thereby start a war. He might<br />be seen as
moderately ridiculous, but like many of his neoconservative<br />colleagues he is
well wired into the system. He writes regularly for The<br />Washington Post, The
New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal;<br />appears on television as an
"expert" and is a colleague at WINEP of the<br />ubiquitous Dennis Ross, sometimes
called "Israel's lawyer," who was<br />until recently President Obama's point man
on the Middle East. Clawson<br />is a useful idiot who would be registered as an
agent of the Israeli<br />government if the Justice Department were doing its job,
but instead he<br />is feted as a man who tells it like it is in terms of
American<br />interests. The distortion of the foreign-policy decision-making in
this<br />country is something that can be attributed to Clawson and his host
of<br />fellow travelers, all of whom promote Israel's perceived interests
at<br />the expense of the United States. And they do it with their eyes
wide<br />open.<br /> .
<br />I will deliberately avoid belaboring another Israel Firster Pamela<br />Geller
and her New York subway posters calling Palestinians savages and<br />Israelis
civilized, as I am sure the point has been made about how any<br />lie that can
serve the cause of Israel will be aggressively defended as<br />"free speech." A
poster excoriating Jews or blacks in similar terms as<br />"savages" would not
have seen the light of day in New York City,<br />another indication of the power
of the Lobby and its friends to control<br />the debate about the Middle East and
game the system.<br /> .
<br />And then there are the reasons to dislike Israel and what it
represents<br />that go way back. In 1952's Lavon Affair, the Israelis were
prepared to<br />blow up a U.S. Information Center in Alexandria and blame it on
the<br />Egyptians. In 1967, the Israelis attacked and nearly sank the
USS<br />Liberty, killing 34 crewmen, and then used their power over
President<br />Lyndon Johnson to block an investigation into what had occurred.
In<br />1987, Jonathan Pollard was convicted of spying for Israel
with<br />investigators determining that he had been the most damaging spy in
the<br />history of the United States. In the 1960s, Israelis stole uranium
from<br />a lab in Pennsylvania to construct a secret nuclear arsenal. And
the<br />spying and theft of U.S. technology continues. Israel is the most
active<br />'friendly nation' when it comes to stealing U.S. secrets, and when
its<br />spies are caught, they are either sent home or, if they are
Americans,<br />receive a slap on the wrist.
<br /> .<br />And Israel
gets away with killing American citizens - literally - in the<br />cases of Rachel
Corrie and Furkan Dogan of the Mavi Marmara. And let's<br />not forget Israel's
treatment of the Palestinians which has made the<br />United States complicit in a
crime against humanity. Tel Aviv has also<br />played a key role in Washington's
going to war against Iraq, in<br />promulgating a U.S.-led global war on terror
against the Muslim world,<br />and in crying wolf over Iran, all of which have
served no U.S. interest.<br />Through it all, Congress and the media are oblivious
to what is taking<br />place. Israel is a net recipient of over $123 billion in
U.S. aid and<br />continues to get $3 billion a year even though its per capita
income is<br />higher than that of Spain or Italy. No one questions anything
having to<br />do with Israel while Congress rubber-stamps resolution after
resolution<br />virtually promising to go to war on Israel's behalf.
<br /> .<br />I have to
admit that I don't like what my own government is doing these<br />days, but I
like Israel even less and it is past time to do something<br />about it. No more
money, no more political support, no more tolerance of<br />spying, and no more
having to listen to demands for red lines to go to<br />war. No more favorable
press when the demented Benjamin Netanyahu holds<br />up a cartoon at the U.N. The
United States government exists to serve<br />the American people, no more, no
less, and it is time that our elected<br />representatives begin to remember that
fact. <br />

The power of the Imperial dream-weavers to drip-feed our bad habits into us is so great that we cannot hope to break the spell, or the psychological hold that the power of suggestion holds over us. Our only hope lies in a total collapse of the various supply lines of addiction, like TV, or any other modern device. People will not break free from the hypnotic allure of network news and TV, until they are physically separated from it. Until the people are freed from the poison flowing from CNN and the rest, there is a very strong possibility that they will actually buy into this new narrative that has been being beamed into so many heads, in a classic dialectic reversal (SEE: </span><a href="http://www.thedailybell.com/619/Hegelian-Dialectic"><span style="color:#c47131;"><span style="color:#000000;">Hegelian Dialectic</span></span></a><span style="color:#000000;">).</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#c47131;"><span style="color:#000000;">We have reached the point, in the war on terror discourse, where the evil of "Al-CIA-da" has supposedly been eclipsed by the greater evil, of the "anti-democratic" forces, who stand between us and the ideal "democratic" New World Order. News people, like this Nic Robertson of CNN will sell us on this idea of a new, improved, rehabilitated image of "Mujahedeen," NOT terrorists, counting on the American people to be so sick of war by now, that we will embrace the Zawahiris and invite them to fight our battles for us, right alongside all of those private American contractors (who are really servicemen, who claim to have "retired" from active duty, in order to reap the rewards of the improved wages of privatized war.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#c47131;"><span style="color:#000000;">The national media of the United States have willingly become the single greatest threat to democracy we face today. It would be best for all of us if all national news sources were stopped, whatever it took to do that. It would be far better for us all to wage war against the brainwashing services and not against the government itself, since only a small part of government is involved in this great plot against American democracy (most of the bureaucracy serves the common good). It is urgent that the alternative news sources (which recognize the manufactured stories, such as the one about "rehabilitated Al Qaeda") expose the lies and contradictions to the unsuspecting American people, so that they might get a glimpse beyond the mirror held before them.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#c47131;"><span style="color:#000000;">With the exposure of the lies used in Libya and then again in Syria, the American people can see for themselves that the so-called "Islamists" in the American stable of mercenaries fit smoothly into American war plans, almost as if they were part of the plan all along. This is where it is up to us to make at least some of the people see the timeless truth of this statement, that this has always been an employer/employee relationship, all along. It is the latest incarnation of a repeating plan to use guns, drugs and money to build private armies from indigenous peoples, for the American government to use in overthrowing the governments of those people. The plan has been followed in non-Muslim countries, by empowering local drug dealers, vast wealth has been created for them, bringing the need for many guns, creating a functioning "pipeline" for contraband. By then introduction of armed insurgencies, like FARC in Columbia (SEE: </span><a href="http://therearenosunglasses.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/yair-klein-reveals-that-he-was-asked-by-the-colombian-government-to-help-train-farc/"><span style="color:#c47131;"><span style="color:#000000;">Yair Klein Reveals That He Was “Asked by the Colombian government to help train FARC.”</span></span></a><span style="color:#000000;">), or by introducing factionalism, like the </span><a href="http://www.elperiodico.com.gt/es/20111002/domingo/201788/"><span style="color:#c47131;"><span style="color:#000000;">Zetas</span></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> against the other Mexican cartels, by militarizing their competition, then the conflict is created. Once the blood really begins to flow, then "managing the conflict" becomes possible. In the end, American hands appear clean, their intentions seem pure, as US military forces then proceed to "rescue" the victimized countries, spreading their tentacles of control in the process.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#c47131;"><span style="color:#000000;">It takes real Genius to fuck-up the world like we have, especially when the key to their success has been for America to simply throw everything away. Pack everything up and ship it overseas. All that we once were so proud of--our world-renowned craftsmanship, our advances in science, even our human compassion--were all to be tossed aside, in order to make room for the new American-dominated world order. When all that we hear, over and over, is -- "Never was so much owed by so many to so few"-- then how could we, as good Americans, do any less? This is the approach which has been used to motivate young brothers and sons of former servicemen to serve in a foreign cause that considers torture and terrorism to be useful tools. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#c47131;"><span style="color:#000000;">The cause that America is now fighting for will one day be the cause that all men of good conscience fight against....</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#c47131;"></span> </p> <p><span style="color:#c47131;"></span> </p> <p><span style="color:#c47131;"></span><br /></p></div></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc.

Following the propaganda line that Washington has established, RootsAction’s appeal for money and petition signers states that the three Russian women were sentenced to two years in prison “for the ‘crime’ of performing a song against Russia’s president Vladimir Putin in a Moscow church.”</p> <p>This statement is a propagandistic misrepresentation of the offense for which the women were tried and convicted.</p> <p>I have expressed my sympathies for the convicted women, and as a member of Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union, I support human rights.</p> <p>But I do not support the use of human rights organizations in behalf of Washington’s propaganda. </p> <p>If Putin or some other official has the power to commute the sentences, I hope he uses it. But I do not think that the concerted Western propaganda campaign against Putin encourages that result. Twice as many Russians support the sentence than oppose it.</p> <p>If the sentence is commuted in response to the Western propaganda campaign against Putin, Russian nationalists will depict Putin as a weak leader unable to stand up to Western intimidation. The more internal dissension there is in Russia, the easier for Washington to marginalize the country and kick it out of Washington’s path to the overthrow of Syria and Iran by brutal human-rights-violating violence, such as Washington has applied to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. </p> <p>The State Department, the EU, and human rights groups are sufficiently politically astute to be aware of this fact. Yet, the propaganda continues.</p> <p>As Putin has said, “we know what Comrade Wolf is up to.” But what about the human rights organizations? What are they up to? Have they been incorporated into Washington’s propaganda machine, like the Western media, or are they latching on to Pussy Riot as a visibility and fundraising issue for themselves? </p> <p>Do-good organizations hurt for money, because compassion for others is not in abundant supply. Pussy Riot is a fundraising opportunity. If the Russian government succumbs to the propaganda, it provides an opportunity for human rights organizations to tout their influence. In other words, human rights organizations have independent reasons to align with Washington’s propaganda. Their alignment does not necessarily mean that they are conscious tools of Washington.</p> <p>You can bet your last dollar that Washington, which dismisses as “collateral damage” the hundreds of thousands of women, children, and village elders murdered in Washington’s wars against Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, and Syria, is not concerned with the three Pussy Riot women’s 2-year prison sentence. </p> <p>Washington has kept the American hero, Bradley Manning in prison for two years without a trial. Washington claims the power, strictly prohibited by the US Constitution, that “scrap of paper,” to hold US citizens indefinitely in prison without due process of law and to murder them on suspicion alone without due process of law. Does any sentient person really believe that such a government gives a hoot about a two-year prison sentence for three Russian women?</p> <p>The Western media is silent about the collapse of the United States into tyranny. But, on cue from Washington, the Western media is loud about the dire plight of Pussy Riot.</p> <p>For example, this from the UK’s The Week with First Post: “Beyond Pussy Riot: slow death of freedom in Putin’s Russia.” Louisa Loveluck introduces her report: “The Russian government’s distaste for freedom of expression has been in the headlines recently thanks to the trial and subsequent imprisonment of three members of punk collective Pussy Riot. But the persecution of these women forms only a small part of a much broader crackdown on civil liberties in President Vladimir Putin’s Russia.”</p> <p>Has Putin, like the Amerikan presidents Bush and Obama, declared that he has the power to throw Russian citizens in a dungeon for life without ever presenting evidence in a court? No, he has not. </p> <p>Has Putin, like the Amerikan president Obama, declared that he has the power to assassinate Russian citizens without due process of law? No, he has not.</p> <p>Has Putin, like the Amerikan president Obama, declared that he has the legal authority to invade any country of which he disapproves and to overthrow its government? No, he has not.</p> <p>So why is the UK’s Louisa Loveluck going on about a two-year prison sentence in Russia when the UK government, in defiance of international law and in obedience to its Amerikan master, refuses safe passage to Ecuador for Julian Assange, who has been granted political asylum? Even “authoritarian” China grants safe passage to those granted asylum.</p> <p>The hypocrisy of the West, including the rank hypocrisy of human rights organizations, is nauseating. It makes one ashamed. </p> <p>Julian Assange faces life imprisonment in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London because the puppet UK government is helping Washington make an example of what happens to journalists who dare to publish the truth about Washington’s mendacity and war crimes. </p> <p>Is Washington paying Louisa Loveluck’s salary or is she, along with the First Post, simply terrified of Washington’s power? Or are Ms. Loveluck and the First Post simply going with the flow and avoiding criticism by not differing from the propaganda line?</p> <p>No one will investigate, so we will never know.</p> <p>Meanwhile in “freedom and democracy” america, at their Tampa, Florida, nominating convention, the Republican Party showed its true colors. It is a Brownshirt Party. </p> <p>The tyrannical Republican machine refused to allow Ron Paul’s name to be mentioned or his delegate count to be presented. </p> <p>Reports from the Republican nomination convention read like reports of Stalin’s takeover of the Communist Party or the Nazi takeover of the German state. Rules adopted at the convention eliminate any grass roots input. The Republican politburo is supreme. The party is subservient, and the members’ voices are eliminated. Mimicking Lenin, the Republicans declared that Republican rule “means neither more nor less than unlimited power, resting directly on force, not limited by anything, not restricted by any laws, nor any absolute rules. Nothing else but that.”</p> <p>As Mother Jones reported, Ron Paul supporters shouted from the convention floor, “Fuck You, Tyrants!” <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/08/ron-paul-supporters-rebel-convention-floor-fuck-you-tyrants" title="http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/08/ron-paul-supporters-rebel-convention-floor-fuck-you-tyrants " target="_blank">http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/08/ron-paul-supporters-rebel-convention-floor-fuck-you-tyrants </a> </p> <p>The Republicans are the party of “freedom and democracy.” The Republicans are the party most controlled by the neoconservatives, who are strongly allied with Israel’s far right-wing government and are most hostile to the US Constitution. The Republicans are the party that gave us the PATRIOT Act, the first massive assault on the US Constitution. The Republicans are the party that gave us 9/11. The Republicans are the party that gave us the $3 trillion war against Iraq based on the Republican party’s lies about “weapons of mass destruction.” The Republicans are the party that gave us the $3 trillion war in Afghanistan based on lies about Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. The Republicans are the party that gave us the supremacy of the President over both the US Constitution and US statutory law; the executive branch is bound by neither according to the Republican Federalist Society members of the US Department of Justice (sic). </p> <p>Obama is a despicable patsy, a front man for powerful private interests, and Democrats should be totally ashamed to have elevated such a cowardly lowlife. But as awful as Obama is, a vote for Republicans is a vote for Hitler or Stalin. Indeed, the election of Romney and Ryan would be worse than either.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc. ".

Perhaps not openly stated, but maybe the should start a covert program of destabilization against KSA. Surely there are some former KGB officers who remember how to do these things? At the very least in retaliation for each incident that occurs in Russia</i>."</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That is an interesting idea. Needless to say, I have no access to any decision-making on such topics which are of the prerogative of some key elements the Presidential Administration, probably a restricted sub-group of key individuals of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Council_of_the_Russian_Federation">Security Council of the Russian Federation</a> and which could task either the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Foreign_Intelligence_Service">Foreign Intelligence Service</a> (SVR) or the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Directorate_of_Intelligence">Main Intelligence Directorate</a> (GRU), or both, to engage in a destabilization campaign in the KSA. That is in theory. In practice, things are far more complicated than that.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First, it is crucial to understand that between 1988 and 1991 (Gorbachev years) and, even more so, between 1991 and 1991 (Eltsin years) the Russian security services were comprehensively smashed to smithereens. The politically correct expressions for this process of quasi-annihilation are "reformed" or "democratized". One could write an entire PhD thesis on the magnitude of this cataclysm, I will just offer an order-of-magnitude figure which is nothing more than my guesstimate of how much was destroyed. I would estimate that roughly 90% of the global capabilities of the ex-Soviet (and then Russian) security services were destroyed under the rule of these "democratic leaders".</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since Putin's election in 2000 this process has been reversed, there is no doubt about that, but the current Russian security services are still far from having recovered from the "democratic apocalypse" of the 1980s and 1990s.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Furthermore, I would personally argue that the security services of the former USSR were largely bloated and ineffective. I personally was involved in many types of "anti-Soviet" activities for many years and I can attest that the KGB was no nearly as formidable as some imagined it to be. Let's just say that Brezhnev's KGB was nothing like Stalin's NKVD/MGB. Sure within the KGB itself the branch tasked with Foreign Intelligence (the PGU KGB SSSR or First Main Directorate of the KGB) was an elite of a much higher level than the rest of the KGB, but nonetheless, even the PGU was not the all-knowing, all-understanding and almighty <i>Ueber</i>-spy-service some imagined it to be. Bottom line: when Putin came to power his task was not to simply resurrect the former KGB, but to design a new security establishment suitable for post-Communist Russia, an immensely complicated task which he had to tackle in extremely difficult, if not critical, circumstances.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nowadays the major Russian intelligence and security services include the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Federal Security Service (FSB), the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Protective_Service_(Russia)">Federal Protective Service</a> (FSO) and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU). There are a few more services such as several departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), the Federal Border Service (FTS), the small and shadowy Security Service of the President of the Russian Federation (SPB), or the Anti-Terrorism Center of the CIS (ATTsSNG) which all have some intelligence and security functions, but the big players are obviously the SVR-FSB-GRU trio. While their areas of responsibility are roughly similar to the one of their Soviet era counterparts (the SVR's inherited the functions of the 1st Main Directorate of the KGB, the FSB inherited the functions of the 2nd Main Directorate of the KGB (and a few other Directorates), while the current GRU inherited the functions of the old GRU GSh SSSR) this is a misleading comparison because <i>the fundamental missions of the modern SVR-FSB-GRU trio have changed dramatically</i>.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is hardly surprising. The USSR fancied itself as a global empire, a superpower which would challenge the capitalist world in every corner of the planet in a global zero-sum game. As for the Soviet security services, not only were they tasked with protecting the state, there were also tasked with protecting the Soviet regime and even the Communist ideology. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent democratic apocalypse, the Russian internal security services were given a dramatically different set of tasks including such things as the protecting the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation from foreign infiltration and home gown separatist movements, the struggle against Western-backed financial interests or the protection of non-Wahabi Islamic clergy from terror attacks. The <strike>good</strike> bad old KGB never had to deal with such tasks. As for the SVR and the GRU, they put the early detection of World War III on the back-burner and they turned to such matters as economic intelligence and lucrative weapons export contacts.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As for the "conceptual map" of the planet as seen by the Russian security and intelligence establishment it looks like this: the territory of the Russian Federation itself which needs to be protected from economic, social and political crises, the "Near Abroad" (countries of the former USSR) and the "Far Abroad" (the rest of the planet). The absolutely vital territory to defend was, of course, the Russian Federation itself. From this realization came the need to also get directly, if covertly, involved in the "Near Abroad" because developments in this "Near Abroad" directly and immediately affected the national security of the Russian Federation. The Georgian war of 08.08.08 clearly proved beyond any doubt that the entire realm of the "Near Abroad" had to be considered as a real of vital Russian interest. But what about the "Far Abroad", the rest of the planet?</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would argue that Russia made the correct call in deciding that it simply did not have the resources to once again become a global player. In other words, <i>the Russian regime took a monumental, truly historical decision: it decided that Russia would never be an Empire again, that it would take the very deliberate decision to "restrict" itself to being a large but "normal" country</i> whose security would be best promoted by an insistence on the respect for international law and a well-developed system of alliances in a (hopefully) multi-polar world in which other such "non-global" or "non-imperial" countries could join efforts and mutually assist each other.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is quite true that most of us when we hear the words "respect for international law" or "alliances of equals in a multi-polar world" almost instinctively dismiss them as crude propaganda simply because we have heard them used over and over again the disguise or justify US imperial or Western neo-colonial policies and it is now very hard to believe ex-Communists like Putin when they use them. And yet it is absolutely essential to understand that <i>these expressions are not a means to "sell" Russian policies but the instruments chosen by Russia to promote its national security interests</i>. In other words, its not that Putin "believes" in international law, its that Putin believes that a policy of systematic insistence that international law be respected is greatly advantageous for Russia.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In this context, the option to embark on a campaign to destabilize Saudi Arabia or, for that matter, any other country, does not seem compatible with the overall national security strategy of Russia. That does not mean that the Russian regime would not like to pay back the KSA for its multi-billion dollar campaign in support of Wahabi terrorism in Russia - I am sure it would - rather it simply means that Russia does not believe that the appropriate response to the Saudi terror campaign would be to try to retaliate in kind.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Russian anti-Wahabi-terror campaign is, I believe, organized around the following global national security policies:</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><br /></b><b>Policies inside the Russian Federation:</b></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a) Strengthening as much as possible the Russian internal security services on all levels, from the Federal FSB to the local rookie police officer on the beat in the streets of Makhachkala.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">b) Seeking to identify and promote local leaders - such as Ramzan Kadyrov - capable of dealing with terrorism while developing the local economies.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">c) Embark on a systematic campaign of support for non-Wahabi (traditional) forms of Islam in all of Russia, including the capital and all the major Russian cities</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">d) Developing and maintaining a very powerful military "fist" capable of immediate response (2 hours or less) to any major armed attack.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">e) Adopting of a body of laws which strictly punish any forms of national, ethnic or religious discrimination, hatred or hooliganism and the systematic use of such law to punish groups or individuals (Russian and non-Russian) violating these laws.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">f) Adopting a system of laws which will gradually "choke" and eventually bring down to a minimum the activities of covert US/EU/NATO assets in Russia, from the likes of Khodorkovsky to the Pussy Riots crazies, and including a whole galaxy of individuals, movements, organizations and parties, all of which, if taken together, would account to something like 1% to 2% (max) of the Russian population.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">g) Covert internal efforts to prevent the appearance of a real, non Kremlin-controlled, opposition movement or party; the potential interest for such a real opposition to the current regime in power is probably rather strong as the real power-base of dedicated Putin supporters is probably only somewhere in the 40%-50% of the population (Putin got so brilliantly re-elected not so much because all of those who voted for him loved him as because of the fact that there simply is currently no credible opposition or alternative to Putin).</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Policies in the Near Abroad</b></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a) Economic support in terms of grants, credits or preferential pricing policies for those regimes in the Near Abroad who either are supportive of Russia or, at least, not directly hostile.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">b) Security assistance in all forms for those regimes in the Near Abroad who either are supportive of Russia or, at least, not directly hostile.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">c) Economic and political isolation of anti-Russian regimes in the near abroad</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">d) Development and maintenance of armed forces structured into four autonomous and self-sufficient "strategic directions" each controlling a sufficient number ground, naval and air forces to immediately respond to any local conflict or external aggression.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">e) Overt political support for political parties or movement in opposition to the anti-Russian regime in power.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Policies in the Far Abroad</b></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a) Using the Russian power at the UN Security Council to block any unilateral use of force or any unilateral intervention by the US Empire and its subsets (NATO, EU, Anglosphere, Israel, Colombia, etc.)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">b) Insistence that any international crisis be handled by a representative segment of the international community (and not just US puppet regimes) and by all the parties to the conflict (and not just those supported by the USA).</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">c) Development of new international institutions such as BRICS, CSTO, SCO and others

anybody, including first and foremost the USA, absolutely unthinkable.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Policies common to all levels</b></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a) Prepare for the inevitable global financial collapse by such means as reducing the amount of US Treasury holdings, dollars, Western stocks, etc, owned by Russia or Russian interests (many, if not most, Russian experts predict this collapse for 2013 already).</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">b) Re-orienting the Russian economy towards Asia while keeping Europe dependent on Russian energy exports.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">c) Reducing as much as can be the current dependence of the Russian economy and state budget on energy and raw-material exports aboard by the revitalization of high-technology, aerospace, medical, industrial, information technology and other sectors of the Russian economy.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>It is the fundamental mission of the Russian security and intelligence forces to support the implementation of all these policies on their respective levels</i>, a far more complex and diverse task than that which was given by the Soviet leadership to the KGB.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Does that mean that Russia will never use KGB-style techniques to destabilize a regime or use covert operations against an enemy? No, not at all.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For example, it is likely that the SVR is keeping a very close eye on the political struggle between Saakashvili and <a href="http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/2011/07/nino-burdzhanadze-georgias-best-if-not.html">Nino Burdzhanadze</a> and it would be reasonable to expect the SVR to do whatever it can to assist her, but only covertly, of course. Similarly, I am sure that the contact between the Russian and Iranian security services are very close and that the Russian GRU has a very good idea of what Iran might, or might not, be doing in Syria or Bahrain. Finally, I would not be surprised at all if we learned one day that GRU agent had succeeded in infiltrating the CENTCOM's Joint Intelligence Center in Tampa Bay. But neither would I be surprised if I learned that the GRU has succeeded in infiltrating somebody in the J.P. Morgan Chase Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) or in the staff of the China Policy Department of the US Chamber of Commerce. These new targets reflect new realities and new missions.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What I do not see at all is the SVR or the GRU putting the time, effort and money to build up a covert network of agents inside such a tough target country like the KSA not because it fundamentally could not do so, it probably could, but because that would entail fantastic opportunity costs and a redirection of urgently needed resources from far more important priories. And even if there are still "<i>former KGB officers around who remember how to do these things</i>" I suspect that they would nowadays be used either as teachers in the various specialized academies or as advisers to the new leaders.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Ever since the crisis in Syria began I have been clamoring <i>Urbi et Orbi</i> that <i><b>the Russians are not, repeat, not coming!!</b></i> ... In these articles I was referring to a possible military intervention, but today I hope that I have explained why the Russian security and intelligence organizations are not coming either, at least not with any type of covert operation to support Assad or overthrow the House of Saud.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will conclude here by saying that I am personally very happy that the Russians are not "coming". First, Russia does not have any more justifiable reasons than the USA to be policing the planet, regardless of whether it has the means to do so or not. I oppose all "global cops" - regardless of who they are. Second, nobody in the Middle-East has asked for the Russians to "come" and, frankly, even if they did, I don't believe that Russia has any obligation or even any logical reason to agree to such demands. Why? Simple: if Russia was in a deep crisis, do you seriously believe the Syrians, Saudis or Iranians would "come" to "help" Russia? Of course not! Third, the best Russia can do for the people of the Middle-East is take upon itself to shoulder responsibilities commensurate with the real, actual, Russian capabilities. What point is there to "come" only to be defeated? Why make empty promises of support which one cannot deliver upon? Russia did take a very clear and firm stance on Syria and it did that where it mattered the most, at the UN Security Council, where Russia could actually deliver on its promises. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lastly, and unlike the ruling "1%" Western plutocracies who wage constant wars of choice against the clear will of their own public opinions, the Kremlin cannot ignore the fact that a vast majority of the Russian public would be categorically opposed to a Russian military or covert operation into a conflict so far from Russia or the Russian Near Abroad, and in defense of a very dubious ally like Assad. The fact is that the Kremlin is far more democratic than all the western "democracies", at least if by "democratic" we understand "ruling in accordance to the will of a majority of people".</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Makes you wonder where the real "Free World" really is, does it not?</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Saker</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">PS: come to think about it, there is one realm in which the Russians will use the good old "cloak and dagger" type of operations: the elimination of terrorist leaders in the Caucasus. In fact, the Russians openly admit, with some pride, that they killed many Chechen insurgency leaders including Dudaev, Basaev, Khattab, Maskhadov and many, many others. Dokku Umarov has, so far, succeeded in avoiding the Russian killer teams and I wonder if that is not because the Kremlin is more than happy to have him in the role of a "Russian Bin-Laden". Whatever may be the case, there is no doubt in my mind that the Russian security services will hunt down and execute any Wahabi terrorist leader reckless enough to enter the territory of the Russian Federation. I do not, however, believe that the Russians will attempt to kill them abroad even though western sources have claimed that the Russian security services were involved in the murders of Yandarbiev, which I do not believe to be true (nor do I believe that they were involved in the murders of Yamadaev for that matter). The worst instances of terrorism in Russia are currently taking place in Dagestan, which is were I expect the Russian killer teams to be the most active....</span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The problem is that most of the media *INSIDE* Russia is very anti-regime, some in a rabid fashion (Ekho Moskvy) some is a more subtle manner (NTV). So, again, it is hard for Russia to fight an offensive information campaign against Saudi Arabia at the time when it has to fight a *defensive* media campaign inside Russia.<br /><br /><i>Russia should find out who the biggest donors to Wahabi terrorism are and...assassinate them?...No need. Just call them out in public....</i><br /><br />The Russians know *exactly* who pays for the terrorism in Russia, but Russia simply cannot openly accuse the House of Saud, much less so the MI6 or the Pentagon...<br /><br /><br /><i>But I still think that Russia should ally closer with countries that support traditional Islam and oppose Wahhabism, and considering that the greatest opponents of Wahhabis are the Shia, it would be only natural to strengthen relations to Iran and have close contacts with Shia movements in other countries (Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain, even with the Shia minority in KSA).</i><br /><br />AMEN! And, as you well know, I have tried to push that argument forward in this blog as much as I could. And I can also tell you that I did the same with some of the right people to talk to in Russia in the past. There is one caveat to this concept. Not all Shia have the same conceptual clarity about Wahabism. In the case of Iran I would say that yes, absolutely, they "get it" and I know for a fact that they act on it. However, there are still many Shia who have what I call the "my Umma right or wrong" knee-jerk reaction which brings then to automatically side with their "fellow Muslim" against the "Kufar" even when that "fellow Muslim" is a crazed Wahabi maniac who will slit their throat at the first opportunity.<br /><br />This is one of the reasons why the regime in Russia is putting so much efforts in traditional Islamic education: because only a lack of education will trigger the type of primitive knee-jerk responses we so much deplore.<br /><br />But yes, only Iran "got" Chechnya right from day one. ALL the other naively fell right into the Anglo trap...</span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc.

They are determined to perpetuate the senseless violence and mayhem that are the currency of their profession. And they make peace and diplomacy impossible. That is their goal. Sen. Frank Church in 1975, after chairing a Senate committee investigation into U.S. intelligence activities, defined “covert action” as a “semantic disguise for murder, coercion, political assassinations by the Infamous White House Murder INC, blackmail, bribery, the spreading of lies, and consorting with known torturers and international Takfiri-Salafist-Wahhabi-MB-terrorists.” </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: small">The multitudes of crimes these killers, torturers, kidnappers, propagandists, special operations units and spies have carried out in the name of the good American people are well known to those outside the Zioconned US gates.

Another Voina activist grabbed a frozen chicken in a St. Petersburg supermarket and inserted it into her vagina and left without paying. And some nice family photos of jailed Pussy Rioter Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and her husband "in action" in a Moscow museum, with fellatio, masturbation, and copulation as featured acts. This is what Soros's Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Justice Through Music Program are defending, not to mention the State Department, EU, and the UK. This is Soros's and the Rothschilds' work: destroy the culture and religion of a country like Russia. They've already done so to the United States. Pussy Riot should have gotten 20 years in a psychiatric hospital. Hillary Clinton must've been jealous that she missed the museum act, she would've loved to bury her face in Tolokonnikova's nether region.</em><br /><br />How to make my day...:)<br /><br />I have been pontificating about this stuff for many months and I don't think I am getting across what I am trying to say about this. Let me start again. This is not some freak side show in Moscow. This is Gene Sharp Central and they have ambitions no less lofty than to remove Putin and collapse Russia into civil war with these stunts....when I first heard about this Pussy Riot and FEMEN stuff in Russia, I instantly recognized it.<br /><br />We had this in Yugoslavia. Specifically, these were the psyops used to bring down Milosevic. And this continued for several years until Slobo fell. When this began in Russia, I recognized the same identical I]Strickmuster as the Sharp/Soros methods used to collapse Yugoslavia. Successfully so. It is not one Pussy Riot or FEMEN but it is the entire vast network the elites engage - from such offensive groups to charming groups, to lawyerly groups, to sociologists and academics - there are many, many facets to this complex asymmetrical approach but absolutely all of it connects back to the same agenda - how to collapse a country. Color revolutions are part of the same set of Sharp teachings as the principles used by the Pussy Riot and other groups.<br /><br />The part which I think is hard for Americans to understand about this is - what is Pussy Riot's or FEMEN's point? Are they trying to attract sympathy for the jailed band? No. The band is collateral damage. They will be handsomely paid off if they have to sit off a couple of years in prison. They knew this ahead of time and agreed. They are hardcore psyop agent provocateurs who are trained to provoke, get beaten up, jailed, stage hunger strikes for greater effect, get the whole world and western popstars to root for them as dozens of venous around the planet are booked for protests for these contrivances. They agreed to go to prison ahead of time. As Udaltsov does every couple of months, as chess champ Garry Vaynshtein-Kasparov made sure he got arrested when he bit the policeman this weekend in a Pussy Riot protest so he could oy-vey about it and go on hunger strike next... this sort of thing gets more and more social groups engaged in heated passionate tempers. We have seen the instigated paradigm fights over abortion and gay marriage in the US. This is a similar thing but much worse - the idea is to get the whole country heated up, fighting each other, disintegrating into many groups. once the social fabric shatters into social, cultural, ethnic religions political and sectarian strife...that is the end goal...not sympathy for Pussy Riot.<br /><br />There are incredibly clever people behind such stunts who study the cultural fabric of a society and find the weak threads and begin tearing at them. In Serbia, we had Popovic and Marovic (who are the original Otpor CIA team who are active to this day, no longer as rent-a-rebels but as teachers. They have a color revolution school in Belgrade where they teach how to do this stuff. - Here is a video </span><a class="bb-url" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_6zaObmEe4" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">link</span></strong></a><span style="font-family:Arial;"> about this. These guys are a global mobile hard-core psyop hit squad which knows how to incite everything from protests to street fights and social chaos - they started in Belgrade during the Milosevic days, worked in dozens of countries including key roles in ALL Arab Spring countries and the engineered protests - all the way to OWS as the link above shows. This is the elite of Soros rent-a-rebels. I misplaced the link but there is a great video in YouTube which show their lifestyle - 5-star hotels, private jets, exotic locations and dream vacations in the poshest tropical places on earth all catered to them by Team Soros for their 'work' - and lots of work assignments in dozens of countries, either leading protests or teaching and coaching the native rebels how to collapse their country for the Rothschilds.)<br /><br />Their methods are varied - everything from funny, perky, charming which puts a smile on young people's faces (Popovic and Marovic protested in Belgrade by getting a crowd to beat metal trash cans with sticks - it was a deafening roar because they got civilians to join and bring countless metal cans. The police appeared and everyone backed off - the police "arrested" a lot of trash cans and the joke was on Milosevic's police state being stupid and totalitarian for even arresting trash cans - this is how to get a hundred thousand college students to laugh and participate enthusiastically in a Soros protest without knowing they are being politically managed by Team Soros. And there are other methods as well - once the enthusiastic crowds have been secluded with the cute, charming, funny and artistic stuff (in the Balkans, the best popstars were hired and given rebel lyrics written for the occasion to sing and they had every young person in the country singing along - this is powerful stuff..) once the crowds of support get so big, NED and the Soros groups ratchet up the pressure and the they bring out the aggressive ones in the streets which graduate to smashing store windows and setting car tires on fire and attacking police aggressively and leading a large crowd to imitate this stuff...Team Soros then graduates to pushing it over the edge and inciting mass chaos which leads to bloodshed and total instability. There is a direct path between things like Pussy Riot all the way to the "opposition" in Syria - it is all part of the same engineering from beginning to end.<br /><br />They keep turning up the heat on this. Until a society collapses. You will see this happen in Russia if you watch this Pussy Riot and FEMEN stuff because everything else in an engineered collapse of a country attaches to it.<br /><br />Pussy Riot is tugging at social fault lines such as primary attacks on the Russian Synod (</span><a class="bb-url" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synod" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">link</span></strong></a><span style="font-family:Arial;">) - attacks on Putin, attacks on the largest cultural groups and their ideology, sense of identity...the Synod plays a very big role in this. The west has always had a lot of misconceptions and stereotypes about us Eastern European communist countries. CIA scripted evangelizing hordes of church leaders in the west so bemoan the 'war on Christianity' in European communist countries and deliberately distorted the view of what religion in European communism actually looked like...There is virtually no awareness in the west that we have always had a very strong church - Orthodox in Russia - in Yugoslavia, it was both the Catholic underground and Serbian Orthodoxy (Muslims were the least religious of our groups as a mainstream with only tiny groups like the Sandzak Donmeh and splinters of Wahhabis sitting in Yugoslavia since the days of the ottomans who sent them to us as homesteaders).<br /><br />Throughout communism, people clung to their religion. It was just strictly separated from the state. But it survived communism everywhere. People fiercely tied their very ethnic and cultural groupthink definition of their own identity to their religion (which is also always based on ethnicity because our ethnic groups all have a default religion based on ethnicity). So insulting the orthodox church in Russia is a massive insult on the cultural and personal pride and even identity of pretty much every Russian...the old folks are pushing back against these Pussy Riot cultural injuries as is the church. Putin is not nuts for reacting so strongly with this 'hooliganism' jailing. He has no choice. If he does not kick some collective nasty girl butt now and lets Pussy Riot get away with it, he will forever lose the respect of the conservative establishment and common man and woman on the streets who want this Pussy Riot nonsense nipped in the bud and nipped good because they are shocked, offended and grossed out beyond words and want to make sure this does not happen again. How they would be so shocked and offended - look at the pictures Wayne posted and you will understand that a society reacts strongly to this.<br /><br />Then Putin locks them up - and the choreographed west erupts in loud protests. Pussy Riot creates 'art" wails Madonna and half a dozen big western name pop stars sing backup chorus on her protest lines.... The Pussy Riot displays are ugly and offensive but study what they are doing with this because this is the recipe on how to collapse a government, remove its leader, polarize the hell out of society and get everybody fighting mad and not giving in. Those pics are a brilliant find Wayne dug up. It is a study in Soros, Sharp and all the mindfuck talents NED and friends come up with and this is deadly stuff.<br /><br />I wrote about this Pussy Riot behavior for a while now - I described the public fornication and girl shock jock appearances which shocked and rocked all of Russia for some time now. But the pics Wayne posted tell this story and speak for themselves.<br /><br />Putin satisfied the majority in Russia by putting these women in jail. He had to. He had no choice. He would have had far more than half of Russia enraged and screaming for vigilantism if this 'hooliganism' had not been stopped cold. The only place they can put them to keep from having any more public graphic porn displays is jail. Verzilov and Tolonnikova (formerly from Voina, she is a Pussy Riot main player now) whom Wayne mentions copulated with her 9 months pregnant 4 days before giving birth in a museum in Moscow.<br /><br />There is one more episode as an example - this is the baby of Tolonnikova who had publicly copulated before birthing him - </span><a class="bb-url" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12645902" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">link</span></strong></a><span style="font-family:Arial;">. The child was injured when his stroller was slammed against the wall. It is noteworthy that Pussy Riot mama actually made sure her child had at least some injuries - because this is now also sold as proof that they are being abused. As long as the members survive, they accept injury to themselves and their children, incarceration - they will be paid very well for this. And they make sure these things always happen in front of cameras.<br /><br />The group also painted a 65 meter long penis on a bridge. (They would get public indecency, damaging public property and vandalism charges in the US for this but we in the west are pretentiously busy criticizing Russia for oppressing nasty-porn 'art" by these people.) Yes, stuffing an entire whole chicken into Pussy Riot member Natalia Sokol's vagina in front of many cameras and then waddling out of the store with a chicken stuck up there and stealing it surely is art. Russia is terrorized by these tactics. This is Sharp, Soros, NED and CIA work. This is only being ratcheted up more and more and there is a lot of fighting going on in Russia over this - most people want it gone, these women locked up where they don't see daylight any time soon.<br /><br />Young kiddies think this is sooo coooool and that they are part of some revolutionary democratization they themselves can force upon Russia by only supporting Pussy Riot - this is the seduction factor toward youth such psyops have. Soros has a lot of young groups on the ground also who lead them toward support of such behaviors. He buys youth groups and puts employees into offices who then lead youth groups in protest in support of things. The network is huge.<br /><br />Soros hires only the best and brightest in every country he targets. I will write about the Yugoslavia experience another time - two of my best friends worked for Soros - one of the 'human rights" watch groups (in Croatia, it was Helsinki Committee - in Russia it is Helsinki Group - all these things have a chapter in each country and are under Soros' OSI.<br /><br />My friends in the Soros network were - a female judge from Sarajevo who was a refugee (yes, judges have to run in a war, too) and glad to have any job and this was a well-paid job with benefits for Soros. And the other was a young poli sci professor out of Zagreb who had become the best known folk hero name because he became a guerilla fighter leader in the war, was injured in the war, wrote a dozen books and became an icon. I know him well because I brought him to the US and talked Baylor Hospital into pro bono surgical care after he got blown up by a hand grenade and I lived with him for a few years off and in 2 countries in those years - that was a deep insider glimpse into the infinitely vast Soros operations in the country for me...he has a cabinet position in the government now - this is the type of people Soros hires for his work on the human rights end...only the best and brightest people who end up leading the country - where Soros wants it led to.). My friends in the system honestly at the time thought this was really cool work and did not know they were used for a very evil Rothschild agenda. It was 1991 and we were all young and naive. My 22-year-old daughter is constantly back and forth between the Bay Area and Zagreb (she just returned from there this weekend) and all of HER brightest friends in Croatia, Bosnia and into Kosovo are 20-something very bright, very high-paid Fulbright scholarship kids - the next CIA generation on the ground. Soros controls everything. Every damn thing. He does this globally.<br /><br />They don't just copulate in public. Voina (which is a twin operation of Pussy Riot) has thrown Molotov cocktails at police cars some months ago already - they are ratcheting it up. They will cause a lot of dead people in the streets before long by full intention following the Soros recipe. I know these recipes. I watched them for years from inside of Soros' organizations just by having friends in key position inside of virtually identical operations in Yugoslavia when it was targeted by Soros.....<br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc.

The Church of the Nativity was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The criticism of the vote was intense from the United States and Israel.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The inseparable duo of Israel and the United States cut off funding to UNESCO after the Paris-based UNESCO voted to admit Palestine as a full member state last October. UNESCO lost more than one-fifth of its financial support as a result of Washington’s and Tel Aviv’s action.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Although the St. Petersburg vote was secret, some nations later showed their hands. France admitted that it voted in favor of declaring the Bethlehem church endangered, resulting in the standard charges from Israel’s worldwide lobby that France is historically anti-Semitic with the familiar refrain of Alfred Dreyfus’s name being chanted by the lobby. Dreyfus, a French Jewish army officer, was tried for treason in 1895 and imprisoned on Devil’s Island on the charge that he was a spy for the Germans. Dreyfus’s case became a rallying cause for leading Zionists of the time and he was later exonerated and restored to his military rank.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Joining France to vote for the Palestinian request were Algeria, France, India, Iraq, Malaysia, Mali, Mexico, Qatar, Russia, Senegal, Serbia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The six nations voting for the Israeli position were Colombia, Ethiopia, Estonia, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland. The two abstentions came from Cambodia and Thailand.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">It is well-known that the Vatican and the Greek and Armenian Orthodox churches, which have shared responsibility for Jesus’s birthplace, have long protested against Israel’s land grab of church property in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and in Israel proper. Ironically, it was the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) that rallied its members to support the Palestinian request to protect the Church of the Nativity as an endangered World Heritage site. </span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The following press release was sent out by the following the UNESCO vote:</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><em><span style="font-family:Arial;">The Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has welcomed the inclusion of the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem among World Heritage Sites during the meeting of the UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee in St Petersburg, Russia. He described this move as an important achievement for the preservation of heritage and historical sites in Palestine and for their protection against instruments of destruction, which the Israeli occupation practices constitute. The Secretary General extended <strong>gratitude to all Member States that voted in favour of the resolution and commended the efforts deployed by OIC Member States in this regard.</strong></span></em></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The OIC member states that carried the day for Jesus’s birthplace were Algeria, Iraq, Malaysia, Mali, Qatar, Senegal, and the United Arab Emirates. Palestine is a full member state of the OIC.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The UNESCO decision recognized that the birthplace of Jesus was threatened by the presence of Israeli troops, something that the Israelis and their American backers vehemently rejected. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has, over the past several years, forged an alliance with Christian evangelicals in the United States, sometimes resulting in heated arguments with orthodox Jewish members of his own Cabinet who are suspicious of the proselytizing engaged in by evangelical Christian missionaries in Israel, particularly among Russian Jewish immigrants. However, Netanyahu has rejected the orthodox rabbis protests. At one point in time during the George W. Bush administration, Netanyahu explicitly told the rabbis that Christian evangelicals represented Bush’s political base and that Bush was a total backer of Israel on all major issues. Therefore, Netanyahu reasoned that he would do nothing to alienate the evangelicals, especially those who are known as “Christian Zionists.”</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">However, Netanyahu and his Likud Party backers made an explosive pact. On one hand, the Likudniks have curried favor with Christian fundamentalists whose interpretation of the Bible varies greatly from Catholicism, Christian Orthodoxy and Coptic Christianity, Anglicanism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, and other faiths borne from the Protestant Reformation. On the other hand, Likud, which enjoys the support of orthodox Jewish parties like Shas, whose rabbinical leaders mock Jesus as the son of a prostitute and a heretic who was Satan’s spawn, regards Christian holy sites under Israeli occupation as Israel’s business. The anti-Christian rhetoric that emanates from Netanyahu’s political allies has incurred the wrath of established Christian religions that realize that by claiming the final say over the administration of Christian holy places like the Church of the Nativity and other Christian shrines, disregarding Palestine’s role entirely, these sites are in as much danger as Sufi Muslim sites in Timbuktu and Gao in Mali are from Saudi-funded Wahhabist Muslims.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Archbishop Pietro Sambi, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States and the former Vatican envoy to both Israel and Palestine, who died in the United States from complications resulting from surgery, was known to be a harsh critic of Israel’s grabs at church property in the Holy Land. The Franciscan Order of the Catholic Church also raises funds for churches in the Holy Land every Good Friday, reminding Catholic congregations around the world that the church is under extreme pressure in Palestine and Israel. It is quite clear that, for the Franciscans, the threat to the church is from Israel.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Therefore, it made sense for Palestine to raise the issue of the protection of the Church of the Nativity before UNESCO. Israel now fears that Palestine, acting on behalf of the mainstream Christian faiths, will raise protection issues for other Christian holy sites on the West Bank and in east Jerusalem, as well as for Muslim holy sites, including the Dome of the Rock in east Jerusalem, which sits atop the destroyed Second Jewish Temple, which a number of Zionists and their Christian Zionist allies hope to rebuild as the Third Jewish Temple. The rebuilding of the temple would place the Dome of the Rock and the nearby Al Aqsa mosque, Islam’s third holiest site, in jeopardy.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"> </p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">As for the United States, it was quite instructive that the U.S. ambassador to UNESCO, David Killion, was the point man to strong-arm member delegations to vote against the Palestinian resolution and support Israel. Killion is a former chief aide to two rabidly Zionist chairmen of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, Tom Lantos and Howard Berman. </span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The nightmare for Netanyahu and his allies are that Palestine will replace Israel as the guarantor of the sanctity and security of the Christian holy places and the knowledge that Israel threatens Christian holy places will gain currency among Christian evangelical sects. Such an eventuality could drive a wedge between sects like the Southern Baptists, Pentecostalists, and other fundamentalist faiths and Israel’s powerful lobby in the United States. Such a development could cost Israel much needed political support in southern and western states. Therefore, Israel and pro-Israelis in the Obama administration, including Killion, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, and Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, the ZIO-CIA assassin of the most infamous White House Murder INC, in the Levant Jeffrey Feltman, will stop at nothing to prevent UNESCO from being used as a platform from which Palestine and the Vatican can announce that it is Israel that poses the greatest threat to Christian holy places in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.</span></p></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc.

Obama denied he or his staff were behind the leaks, stating, "The notion that my White House would purposefully release classified national security information is offensive. It’s wrong." Like Obama's denial about classified leaks, Nixon, early on, denied the Watergate break-in involved any members of the White House staff.<br /><br />However, our sources report that senior White House aides and campaign officials were behind the leaks in an effort to demonstrate Obama's national security street credentials to counter-act charges from Republicans that he is soft on the "war on terrorism."<br /><br />WMR has been told it was not a single leaker but several who leaked details of the Yemen kill list and the Zioconned CIA's use of Flame in Operation Olympic Games to the media. Details of the latter operation were leaked to <i>New York Times</i> reporter David Sanger.<br /><br />Just as Attorney General John Mitchell used the Justice Department to provide political cover for the Nixon White House in Watergate, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that two federal prosecutors, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ron Machen and U.S. Attorney for Maryland Rod Rosenstein would launch a criminal investigation of the leak. Rosenstein engaged in past political prosecutions for the Bush and Obama administrations, including NSA signals intelligence analyst Ken Ford, Jr. during the Bush administration and FBI Hebrew translator Shamai Leibowitz during the Obama administration.<br /><br />Justice Department observers have told WMR that Rosenstein is a pro when it comes at misuse of his federal prosecutorial powers to engage in political operations.<br /><br />Suspicion of who was behind the leaks is being focused by the CIA and Directorate of National Intelligence on four individuals: presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan, and Obama campaign chairman David Axelrod. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is said to be "livid" over the leaks. The leaks that exposed U.S. operations in Yemen are said to have exposed a network that it has taken the Zioconned CIA years to build in the fractured country....and the ZIOs want to keep the presence of Dozens of covert Israeli Navy operators of Yemeni origin super secret, where they could continue to roam the country freely, mounting their False Flag attacks at will for years to come...all over the Zioconned GCC...and Africa....<br /><br />Intelligence officials have privately told certain key members of Congress with intelligence activities oversight responsibilities that they believe it was the Zioconned White House that was behind the leaks.<br /><br />Zioconned Obama's quick denial that he or his staff were responsible for the leaks has some quarters repeating the famous question posed by ranking Republican member of the Senate Watergate committee: "What did the Zioconned president know and when did he know it?"</span><br /></span></div> <div><span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc.

A "Mediterranean-looking" male </span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">and female were spotted entering Williams's flat in July 2010, weeks before Williams's death. It is also known that in addition to traveling to NSA headquarters, Williams had also attended the annual computer hacker Defcon conference in Las Vegas shortly before his death.<br /><br />On May 10, 2011, WMR reported: </span><span style="font-family:Arial;">A 'Mediterranean looking' young man and woman, believed to be between 20 and 30 years of age, are suspects in Williams's death, now believed by British police to have been due to poisoning. 'Mediterranean' is a politically-correct code phrase used by British police to describe the Israeli Mossad hit team. The FBI uses a similar code phrase, 'Middle Eastern-looking,' to describe Israeli spies in the United States. The Mossad duo was last seen entering the MI-6 residence where Williams lived in July 2010."<br /><br />The investigation of Williams's murder has been plagued by incompetence and friction between the police and MI-6. Mishandling of DNA evidence, non-pursuit of the Israeli lead, refusal by MI-6 for the London police to interview several of Williams's colleagues, and MI-6's seizure of several memory sticks found in Williams's flat have hampered the investigation. Williams reportedly told his sister that "friction" inside MI-6 led to his request to be transferred back to GCHQ shortly before he was murdered.<br /><br />Police discovered designer women's clothing and shoes, as well as women's wigs and makeup, in Williams's flat, as well as computer forensic clues that Williams's computer was used to access a number of sexual bondage websites. It is believed by British intelligence sources that the dresses and other materials were left by Williams's killer or killers as a way to suggest that Williams accidentally killed himself in some sort of bizarre sexual practice.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/custom/medcouple.jpg" border="0" height="199" width="341" /><br /></span><br /><i><span style="font-family:Arial;">Police computerized sketch of Mediterranean-looking couple. i.e., Mossad agents implicated in Williams's murder. </span></i><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">WMR has now been told that Williams had attended Defcon and visited NSA as part of an investigation of Israel's development of the malware computer virus called "Flame." The virus, developed by the criminal Mossad killers, uses Bluetooth wireless technology to infect computers and iPhones and iPads (and their equivalents), and then, using data mining code, provides copies of the infected computer's or device's files to Israeli intelligence. A form of the Flame malware, Stuxnet and a data gathering sub-program called Duqu, was spread by the use of memory sticks and was used to infect the computers Iran uses for its nuclear power development program. The memory sticks found in Williams's flat and seized by MI-6 may have been copies of Flame and other Israeli-developed malicious code that Williams had obtained at Defcon as part of his investigation of Israel's use of viruses and Trojan horses to infect computers worldwide.<br /><br />Flame has infected computers crucial to Iran's oil production, including those at the Oil Ministry. The malware has also infected computers in other nations deemed to be enemies by Israel, including Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon. The Flame malware was also discovered in computers in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Russia, Hong Kong, Hungary, and Austria.<br /><br />The presence of Mossad spies or ZIOCONNED pro-Israeli officials inside MI-6 may have been the cause of agency "friction" Williams that conveyed to his sister. MI-6, NSA, and the CIA are riddled with ZIOCONNED pro-Israeli officials and Mossad informants who are dedicated to ensuring that Israel is never the target for British and U.S. counter-intelligence efforts and that Israel's interests are served by ZIOCONNED British and U.S. intelligence services.<br /><br />When NSA signals intelligence analyst Ken Ford, Jr. discovered in the Spring of 2003 that Iraq possessed no weapons of mass destruction, proving that ZIOCONNED neo-conservative interests had concocted evidence that Saddam Hussein possessed "weapons of mass destruction the story as a reason to invade and occupy Iraq, ZIOCONNED pro-Israeli elements inside NSA ensured that Ford was subjected to a bogus investigation and indictment for removing classified documents from the agency. Later, a ZIOCONNED triumvirate consisting of a pro-Israeli Jewish federal judge, federal prosecutor, and defense attorney ensured that Ford did not receive a fair trial and that he was sentenced to six years in federal prison.<br /><br />In Williams's case, the information he possessed on Israel's cyber-warfare capabilities was so important Mossad decided to kill him and ensure that his reputation was ruined by scattering women's clothing and other materials around his flat with the suggestion that he engaged in bizarre sexual practices....<br /><br /><br /><br /></span></div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span></span><br /></div></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc.

Partners at Akin, Gump include one of President Bush’s closest Texas friends, James C. Langdon, and George R. Salem, a Bush fund-raiser who chaired his 2000 campaign’s outreach to Arab-Americans.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">In addition to the royal family, the firm’s Saudi clients have included bin Mahfouz, who hired Akin, Gump when he was indicted in the BCCI banking scandal in the early 1990s. In 1999, the Saudi’s placed bin Mahfouz under house arrest after reportedly discovering that the bank he controlled, National Commercial Bank in Saudi Arabia, funneled millions to charities believed to be serving as bin Laden fronts.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">A bin Mahfouz business partner, Al-Amoudi, was also represented by Akin, Gump. When it was reported in 1999 that U.S. authorities were also investigating Al-Amoudi’s Capitol Trust Bank, Akin, Gump released a statement on behalf of their client denying any connections to terrorism.

Basically you have a partner for Akin, Gump . . . inside the hen house.”</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">But another longtime Washington political observer, Vincent Cannistraro, the former chief of counter-intelligence at the Central Intelligence Agency, said the political influence a firm like Akin, Gump has is precisely why clients like the Saudis hire them.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">“These are cozy political relationships . . . If you have a problem in Washington, there are only a few firms to go to and Akin, Gump is one of them,” Cannistraro said.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Cannistraro pointed out that Idris hired Akin, Gump during the Clinton presidency, when Clinton confidante Vernon Jordan was a partner at the firm. “He hired them because Vernon Jordan had influence . . . that’s a normal political exercise where you are buying influence,” he said.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">\Akin, Gump is not the only politically wired Washington business cashing in on the Saudi connection.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Burson-Marsteller, a major D.C. public relations firm, registered with the U.S. government as a foreign agent for the Saudi embassy within weeks of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><em><span style="font-size:large;">Boston Herald </span></em><span style="font-size:large;">, December 10, 2001</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Two billionaire Saudi families scrutinized by authorities for possible financial ties to Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network continue to engage in major oil deals with leading U.S. corporations.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi clans, who control three private Saudi Arabian oil companies, are partners with U.

S. oil giants Texaco, Unocal, Amerada Hess and Frontera Resources.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">These business relationships persist despite evidence that members of the two Saudi families – headed by patriarchs Khalid bin Mahfouz and Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi – have had ties to Islamic charities and companies linked financially to bin Laden’s al-Qaeda organization. So far, bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi, who have denied any involvement with bin Laden, have been left untouched by the U. S. Treasury Department, which has frozen the assets of 150 individuals, companies and charities suspected of financing terrorism.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">According to a May 1999 report by the U.

Embassy in Saudi Arabia, Delta Oil was created by 50 prominent Saudi investors in the early 1990s.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The prime force behind Delta Oil appears to be Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi, who is based in Ethiopia and oversees a vast network of companies involved in construction, mining, banking and oil.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Al-Amoudi also owns Corral Petroleum.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The Al-Amoudis’ business interests, meanwhile, are enmeshed with the bin Mahfouz family, which owns the third privately held Saudi oil company, Nimir Petroleum.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Nimir was established by the Mahfouz family in Bermuda in 1991, according to the U.

For example:</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">– The Mahfouz family, through Nimir Petroleum, joined forces recently with Texaco to develop oil fields in Kazakhstan estimated to contain as many as 1.5 billion barrels of oil.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">– The Al-Amoudi family, through Delta Oil, teamed up with Amerada Hess three years ago to develop oil fields in Azerbaijan. Delta-Hess is also part of a consortium hoping to build a $ 2.4 billion oil pipeline from Azerbaijan to Turkey.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">– In the mid-1990s, Delta Oil formed a partnership with Unocal in a failed bid to build oil and gas pipelines from Turkmenistan to the Arabian Sea.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">– In 1994, Delta-Nimir, a joint venture of the Al-Amoudi and bin Mahfouz families, joined with Unocal in a consortium to develop three oil fields in Azerbaijan.

The citation about Mr. Qadi read in part: “He heads the Saudi-based Muwafaq Foundation. Muwafaq is an Al Qaeda front that receives funding from wealthy Saudi businessmen.” It goes on to say that the business community has been transferring millions of dollars to Mr. bin Laden through the charity.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">It is an accusation that Mr. Qadi says he finds absurd, not least because the foundation shut down five years ago.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">“Nothing has been given to bin Laden whatsoever, this is nonsense,” Mr. Qadi, a bearded, 45-year-old businessman, said in an interview.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Accusations against pillars of the Jidda community like Mr. Qadi and the foundation — its six-member board included prominent figures like two members of the bin Mahfouz banking clan.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><em><span style="font-size:large;">Boston Herald </span></em><span style="font-size:large;">, October 14, 2001</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Three banks allegedly used by Osama bin Laden to distribute money to his global terrorism network have well-established ties to a prince in Saudi Arabia’s royal family, several billionaire Saudi bankers, and the governments of Kuwait and Dubai.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">One of the banks, Al-Shamal Islamic Bank in the Sudan, was controlled directly by Osama bin Laden, according to a 1996 U.S. State Department report.

The reason, administration officials said, was the inability of United States officials to locate the charity or determine whether it is still in operation.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">A statement accompanying the list yesterday said this about the foundation: “Muwafaq is an al-Qaeda front that receives funding from wealthy Saudi businessmen. Blessed Relief is the English translation. Saudi businessmen have been transferring millions of dollars to bin Laden through Blessed Relief.”</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">In 1995, the trustees of the Muwafaq Foundation filed a libel suit in London against the newsletter Africa Confidential for linking the foundation to terrorist activities in Africa.

He was identified as the major source of funds for a money-laundering scheme for the Palestinian group Hamas. The case occurred in June 1998, when the Justice Department froze the funds of a foundation near Chicago called the Quranic Literacy Institute and one of its important volunteers, Muhammad A. Salah, for funneling money to Hamas, which the State Department says is a foreign terrorist organization.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">According to court documents, the money was ultimately traced back to Mr. Qadi.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The government said that in 1991, Mr. Qadi, whom it described as a Saudi businessman, transferred by wire some $820,000 from a Swiss bank account for investment purposes. The transaction was intended to conceal the source of the money, which was from Mr. Qadi. The government said some of the money was ultimately used by Mr. Salah to help purchase weapons and reorganize the Hamas leadership in the West Bank and Gaza.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><em><span style="font-size:large;">The Ottawa Citizen </span></em><span style="font-size:large;">, September 29, 2001</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Two imprisoned men, separated by half a planet and what amounts to a royal fortune, may hold the key to unlocking the secret of how Osama bin Laden finances his global terrorist network.

After a financial audit of the bank’s $21-billion assets, Mr. Mahfouz was confined to a military hospital in Taef, Saudi Arabia. Some $2 billion has been reported missing.

One of its assets is Globalstar LP, which has licences for satellite broadcasts in eight Middle Eastern countries.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Some of the Mahfouz wealth is interlocked with another Saudi sheik and billionaire, Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi, who has since been appointed to run the private bank Mr. Mahfouz founded. Its clients include much of the Saudi royal family.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The Mahfouz/Al-Amoudi joint ventures include the port facilities in Yemen where the USS Cole was bombed by Islamic militants while it refueled, an alleged chemical weapons plant in Kenya that former U.S. president Bill Clinton ordered destroyed by missiles, and a Washington-based private company called WorldSpace, which provides satellite-based technology and programming to rural Africa and Asia.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Mr. Mahfouz is no stranger to missing money — or controversy. He is a former director of the infamous BCCI international bank, which triggered a $12-billion U.S. bankruptcy scandal in the early 1990s.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Indicted in the U.S. for a $300-million bank fraud and facing civil claims exceeding $10 billion, he arranged a $225-million settlement with prosecutors and agreed to a permanent prohibition on owning banks in the U.S.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Mr. Mahfouz was also embroiled in a citizenship-for-sale scheme in Ireland, in which foreign millionaires were secretly courted to invest in Irish enterprises in exchange for coveted Irish passports and lucrative tax writeoffs. Mr. Mahfouz purchased 11 passports for Saudi and Pakistani nationals, but failed to make the promised investments.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Is there a connection between Mr. bin Laden and the two far-flung prisoners?</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">U.S. court records — especially evidence entered by British detectives who raided Mr. Fawwaz’s apartment and the ARC office on London’s Beethoven Street in 1998 — leave little doubt that Mr. Fawwaz worked for Mr. bin Laden and personally knew those who were later convicted of the African embassy bombings.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Seized computer hard drives revealed fiercely anti-American “holy war” edicts from Mr. bin Laden, to be relayed to European Muslims through the ARC “charity.” A seized copy of the ARC founding documents bore Mr. bin Laden’s signature.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Wiretap evidence, satellite-phone and fax records confirmed that calls were made to or from the now-convicted African embassy bombers and Mr. bin Laden’s military lieutenant in Pakistan, Mohammed Atef (who is charged with Mr. bin Laden in the African embassy bombings). Seized bank records showed that Mr. Fawwaz held the signing authority for a Barclay’s account for ARC.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The U.S. court records, and testimony from former bin Laden insiders, also indicate that Mr. Fawwaz purchased mobile phone technology that Mr. bin Laden or his aides used to make 140 calls to London and the Kenya bomb group from Afghanistan.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Seizures in Nairobi turned up phone bills for Mercy International in Mr. Fawwaz’s name, and calls to that office from Mr. bin Laden’s satellite phone. Much of the evidence used to convict four of the embassy bomb plotters in a later U.S. trial was found at the charity’s Kenya office.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">A former Mercy International staffer in Ireland, Hamid Aich, had earlier shared a Vancouver suburb apartment for three years with Abdelmajid Dahoumane, the accused accomplice of convicted millennium bomb plotter Ahmed Ressam. (Mr. Ressam, part of an Algerian bin Laden cell based in Montreal, has testified that he and Mr. Dahoumane concocted bomb ingredients to blow up the Los Angeles airport at a Vancouver motel in December, 1999.)</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Mr. Ressam was caught at the U.S. border with the explosives in his car trunk, and convicted after a U.S. trial this year. Mr. Dahoumane fled Canada, facing criminal warrants here and in the U.S. He is believed to be in Afghanistan. Mr. Aich was arrested in Ireland, but released before police realized his connection to the Canadian-based Algerians. His whereabouts is unknown.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Mr. Fawwaz has denied any involvement in the terrorist bombings linked to Mr. bin Laden, and is fighting extradition from Britain to the United States. The evidence being used to support his transfer to the U.S. has not been tested at trial.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The U.S. has not filed any indictments against Mr. Mahfouz, and there is no public evidence linking him to any of the terrorist attacks against U.S. targets. However, the Saudi royal family restricted his travel last year after U.S. officials shared financial evidence gleaned from investigations following the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and subsequent terrorist attacks against the USS Cole, U.S. military barracks near Riyadh, and the African embassies, a failed 1996 plot to bomb 12 airliners over the Pacific, and a failed plot to bomb U.S. consular offices in India.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">American officials had earlier convinced governments in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and Britain to close bank accounts they had linked to Mr. bin Laden. U.S. press reports have disclosed that some wealthy Persian Gulf businessmen also were being “tithed” — or bribed — millions to fund Islamic charities that acted as fronts for Mr. bin Laden. One Associated Press report estimated the donations at $50 million, and another reported that even Saudi pension funds were being routed to the phony charities.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">According to Indian police, a Bangladeshi man caught with explosives destined for U.S. consulates in India confessed to being a former worker for the International Islamic Relief Organization, and said the IIRO president had personally attended a meeting to plan the bomb attacks.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The Philippines chapter of the IIRO was formerly headed by Mr. bin Laden’s brother-in-law, and was fingered as a front for Mr. bin Laden by a man later convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. Mr. Mahfouz’s son was on the board of Blessed Relief in Sudan, a group reportedly linked to the 1995 attempted assassination of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in Ethiopia.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">A Lebanese-born U.S. citizen based in Kenya, later convicted of aiding the African embassy bombings, testified that he began working for the bin Laden network after being recruited for the Islamic relief agency Al Kifa by al-Qaeda military boss Mohammed Atef.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">He later served as a senior business aide to Mr. bin Laden in Sudan, then through Kenya-based groups that combined legitimate aid work and covert al-Qaeda business, such as preparing false passports, masking travel by bomb plotters, and exchanging money and reports with the bin Laden group in Afghanistan. Some of the convicted or at-large indicted bombers had previously worked for Help Africa People.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Mr. Mahfouz was a major investor with sheik Al-Amoudi in the $100-million El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Kenya, which was destroyed by U.S. missiles weeks after the embassies were bombed. The Clinton administration claimed the CIA had earlier detected bomb ingredients in the soil nearby. Yet subsequent lab tests and court actions leave little doubt the El Shifa plant was producing only human and veterinary drugs.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The nominal owner, now based in London and a long-time accountant to Mr. Mahfouz, later sued the U.S. government, which quietly settled the case and unfroze his assets in the United States.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">The U.S. counter-strike against the El Shifa plant was almost certainly aimed at an innocent target. A simultaneous U.S. cruise missile barrage aimed at Mr. bin Laden himself in his Afghan hideout missed its intended target.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Those retaliatory strikes enraged many in the Muslim world, and may have prompted covert donations to the bin Laden cause from some of the Persian Gulf’s wealthy businessmen. They also drew the wrath of military governments in countries like Yemen, Sudan and Ethiopia, where the Mahfouz/Al-Amoudi group often gets preferential projects.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">One example is the multibillion-dollar project to modernize the shipping facilities in the Yemeni capital of Aden, completed a year before the USS Cole was hit there by a suicide barge. The lead investor and builder was the Mahfouz/Al-Amoudi Group, through their companies Yeminvest and Yemen Holdings Ltd.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Mr. Mahfouz and Mr. bin Laden were both born in Yemen, and are revered by many Yemenis. A U.S. probe into the terrorist attack there has been stymied by the Yemeni government, which openly supports a “holy war” against the U.S., and has vowed to provide sanctuary for jihad militants....</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"></span> </p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"></span> </p> <p><span style="font-size:large;"></span><br /></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc.

L’unification européenne a laminé la France, un État fondamentalement national et centraliste : elle l’a non seulement empêché d’intégrer les immigrés, qui n’ont plus eu devant eux de modèle d’identification culturelle clair, de choix impératif, mais elle l’a aussi profondément vidé de son contenu et de son économie.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Les gens qui réclament de la France qu’elle reste un État providence et qui exigent en même temps le multiculturalisme et l’affaiblissement de l’État-nation sont tout simplement des irresponsables. L’État social (la sécurité sociale) ne marche que lorsque des citoyens ont suffisamment de choses en commun pour se serrer les coudes et s’entraider les uns, les autres, en cas de coup dur. Mais, là où il n’y a pas de communauté d’identité, de valeurs, de projet, de mémoire, il n’y a aucune raison pour qu’il y ait de la solidarité. Dans ce sens-là, le projet du PS est profondément irréaliste et voué à l’échec. Il n’y a pas de solidarité sans identité nationale, sans un minimum commun dans l’ordre des valeurs Chrétiennes et de l’imaginaire. Le problème <em>national</em> de la France est ainsi central et il n’y a que des journalistes négligents pour se scandaliser que la campagne n’ait parlé que de cela au lieu de parler de la dette. Il n’y aura pas de solution à la crise économique, sans solution du problème national.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Le slogan rabâché sans cesse du « vivre ensemble » est l’exemple même de cette mystification idéologique. Le problème n’est pas de « vivre ensemble », côte à côte, comme des étrangers, dans un supermarché de droits à géométrie variable. Cette idée fausse a englouti des sommes considérables, des budgets municipaux et régionaux. Le problème est d’«être ensemble »: <em>être</em>, c’est à dire partager, à la base, une même vision des choses, quitte à ce que chacune des communautés lui donne sa variation spécifique. Dans tout État-nation démocratique, il y a une identité culturelle dominante qui doit être la référence déterminante de toute la société dans toutes ses différences. Sans nation, pas d’État-providence ni de solidarité universelle….</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p></span><div style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">C'est un Patrimoine de Riches Mr. Hollande et Mme Royale....</span></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">François Hollande, l’homme qui n’aime pas les riches, vient de déclarer son patrimoine au journal officiel.

J’ai la solution : qu’il fasse don de son patrimoine aux sans-logements, ce qui placera ses paroles très près de ses actes, fera des heureux, et par dessus le marché le libèrera de la torture d’être riche....</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">François Hollande déclare une maison à Mougins (06) de 800.000€. Faux! dit la chambre des notaires, qui estime cette maison à 1 380 000€ (le prix moyen du M2 est 5200€ à Mougins)....</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">L’appartement sur les hauts de Cannes, rue Montrose, de 80m2, est déclaré à 230.000€. Faux! dit la chambre des notaires, qui l’estime à 392.000€ (le prix du m2 est de 4900€)....</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Quand à l’appartement de la rue Montrose, de 54 m2, déclaré à 140.000€, c’est encore faux: il est estimé à 264.600€ selon les mêmes critères.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Donc François Hollande déclare au JO du 11 mai 2012 un patrimoine de 1.170.000€, alors qu’en fait son patrimoine est de 2.036.000€. Somme coquette quand on n’aime pas les riches. Presque le double....</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Mais il semblerait que Mr Hollande ait oublié de « déclarer » des biens immobiliers.</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">A Londres, par exemple, ou il se susurre qu’il serait propriétaire d’un appartement au 6 Thomas More Street, d’une valeur estimée à 2.622.000€</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Mais il a semble-t-il oublié aussi sa SCI La sapinière, inscrite au RCS Paris D 377 552 955, au Capital de 914.694€, dont l’objet était « L’acquisition, la gestion, l’administration, la location, la prise à bail de tous immeubles et notamment de biens et droits immobiliers dépendant d’un immeuble sis à Boulogne-Billancourt, rue Gutemberg », avant d’être modifié en « Location de terrains et d’autres biens immobiliers » qui fait guère plus socialiste, et dont le siège social est 28 avenue Duquesne, 75007 Paris. Lui et Ségoléne possèdent dans cette SCI différents biens dont le revenu est de 218.000€ annuel, ce qui, si l’on veut faire une rapide estimation par application d’une rentabilité généreuse de 5%, donne une valeur des biens de 4.4 Millions d’euros…</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Monsieur Hollande, j’aime les gens pour ce qu’ils sont, pas pour ce qu’ils ont <img class="wp-smiley" alt=";-)" src="http://www.dreuz.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" /> .....</span></p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"> </p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"> </p> <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"> </p></div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc.

Oh to one day join the ranks of the “professional class”; that 5% to 10% of our culture which enjoys unparalleled respect and an assumed position of knowledge, so much so that they are rarely even required to qualify themselves to anyone besides their own compatriots. The goal of every person I knew during my formative years with a desire to succeed was to one day hold in their hands an official looking embossed document announcing their ascension to the ranks of the intellectually anointed. I was never so keen on the idea…</p> <p>The dangers of academic deification are numerous. Those who dominate the educational language of the times determine the moral compass (or lack of compass) of the curriculum. They control who is accepted and who is rejected, not by measure of intelligence or skill, but by their willingness to conform to the establishment ideal. They construct a kind of automaton class, which has been taught not to learn independently, but to parrot propaganda without question. Simultaneously, those of us who do not “make the grade” are relegated to the role of obliged worshippers; accepting the claims of the professional class as gospel regardless of how incorrect they happen to be. To put it simply; the whole thing is disgustingly inbred.</p> <p>Elitism has always lent itself to morbid forms of educational molestation. This is nothing new, especially within their own limited circles. However, to have such perversions of logic and reason gutting the minds of entire generations across endless stretches of our country without any counterbalance is a far more heinous state of affairs in the long run. Ultimately, this highway can only lead to a deterioration of our future, and the death of reason itself.</p> <p>Recently, I attended a discussion panel on Constitutionalism at a university in Helena, the capital of Montana, and admittedly, was not expecting much insight. (At the moment of arrival I noticed the buildings had been plastered with Kony 2012 posters. The campus seemed to be completely unaware that the YouTube film is a George Soros funded ‘Wag the Dog’ farce.) Even in a fiercely independent region such as the Northern Rockies, the collectivist hardline reigns supreme on most college campuses. Sadly, very few actual students attended the discussion, and the audience was predominantly made up of local political players, retired legislators, and faculty. Surprisingly, Stewart Rhodes of Oath Keepers was invited to participate in the discussion, obviously to add at least some semblance of balance or “debate” to an otherwise one-sided affair. The mix was like oil and water.</p> <p>The overall tone was weighted with legal drudgery. Many of the speakers were focused intently on secondary details and banal explorations into individual Constitutional cases without any regard for the bigger picture. When confronted with questions on the indefinite detainment provisions of the NDAA, government surveillance, or executive ordered assassinations of U.S. citizens, the panelists responded with lukewarm apathy. The solutions we discuss regularly within the Liberty Movement, such as state nullification based on the 10th Amendment, assertions of local political control through Constitutional Sheriffs, and even civil disobedience, were treated with indignant responses and general confusion.</p> <p>A consistent theme arose from the academics present, trying to run damage control on Rhodes’ points on federal encroachment and ultimate tyranny. Their position? Defiance is unacceptable (or at least, not politically correct…). Americans have NO recourse against a centralized government. Not through their state and local representatives, and not through concerted confrontation. In fact, to even suggest that states act on their own accord without permission is an outlandish idea. In the end, the only outlet for the public is….to vote.</p> <p>No one seemed to be able to address the fact that both major parties supported the exact same unconstitutional policies, thus making national level elections an act of pure futility. The point was brushed aside…</p> <p>Sickly shades of socialism hung heavy in the room. One speaker even suggested that the states could not possibly survive financially without centralized aid. He was apparently too ignorant to understand that the federal government itself is bankrupt, incapable of producing true savings, and printing fiat Ad Nauseum just to stay afloat. Every 30 seconds I heard a statement that made me cringe.</p> <p>Universities are today’s centers of connection. They are one of the last vestiges of American tribalism and community in an age of self isolation and artificial technological cultism. Adults do not meet face to face much anymore to share knowledge, or discuss the troubles of the day. The academic world provides such opportunity, but at a terrible price. To connect with the world, students must comply. To be taken seriously, they must adopt, consciously or unconsciously, the robes of the state. They must abandon the passions of rebellion and become indifferent to the truth. All actions and ideas must be embraced by the group, or cast aside. They must live a life of dependency, breeding a culture of fear, for that which others keep for us, they can easily take away.</p> <p>How could anyone possibly sustain themselves on a diet of congealing fantasy, and personal inadequacy? The intellectual life bears other fruits as well. Where it lacks in substance, it makes up for in ego, proving that being educated is not necessarily the same as being intelligent. The following is a list of common character traits visible in the average intellectual idiot, a breed that poisons the American well, and is quickly eroding away any chance of Constitutional revival…<br /><strong><br />1) An Obsession With The Appearance Of Objectivity </strong></p> <p>I say “appearance” of objectivity because the intellectual idiot does indeed take sides on a regular basis, and the side he takes invariably benefits the establishment. He would never admit to this, though, because he believes it gives him more credibility to at least be thought of as standing outside an issue looking in. It is not uncommon to find Intellectual Idiots being contrary regardless of your view, even if they would normally agree. They often try to approach debate with the façade of detachment, as if they do not care one way or the other. The costume soon wears away, however, when they are faced with an opponent that is not impressed with their educational status. I have seen lawyers, doctors, engineers, and even politicians devolve into sniveling toddlers when they are derailed by an argument beyond their ability to tap-dance around. Their middle of the road persona evaporates, and the real person erupts like an ugly pustule…<br /><strong><br />2) Clings To Labels And Status</strong></p> <p>Like anyone else, Intellectual Idiots cradle a philosophy they believe in, or are told to believe in. But unlike most of us, they see themselves above the scrutiny of those who do not pursue a similar academic path (i.e. only a lawyer should be allowed to debate another lawyer). The reality is, anyone is privy to the information a proponent of the professional class knows. With the advent of the internet, it is easier than ever to educate one’s self on multiple subjects without aid if that person has the determination to do so. Reputation is not earned by shelling out tens of thousands of dollars for university approval. A Masters Degree or Ph.D is not a get out of logic free card. In fact, because the Intellectual Idiot often uses his position to avoid true opposition, he tends to become lazy and even more incapable of defending his methodologies when the time comes.</p> <p><strong>3) Predominantly Collectivist</strong></p> <p>The curriculum of the average college is partly to blame for this, and because the Intellectual Idiot is so desperate for acceptance and accolades, they can’t help but fall into the trap. Collectivism is marked by a distinct attachment to the state as the source of life. All social and all individual crises thus become a matter of government purview. Individual self reliance is a terrifying notion to them. In fact, many Intellectual Idiots have lived on the dole since they were born, moving from their family’s money, to state money through grants and loans. It is not unheard of for these people to become career students, avoiding work for years, and then moving on to a bureaucratic job when the free money runs out. They cannot fathom why anyone would rebel against the system, because they are a part of a select group which has always benefited from it. How could the federal government be bad when it has paid their way for half of their existence?<br /><strong><br />4) Disconnection From Reality </strong></p> <p>The Intellectual Idiot is not necessarily afraid to acknowledge that the system is troubled. For them, the federal government is not infallible, even if their favorite party is in office, but, it IS unapproachable. Academics revel in the disastrous nature of government. They see political and social catastrophe as a sort of mental gameplay. An exercise in theoretical structures. For them, America is not a country built on an enduring set of principles, but a petri dish; an ongoing anthropological experiment that they can watch through a microscope at their leisure. The idea that the disasters they view from the safety of their sub-cultural bubble might one day come to haunt them is a distant one.<br /><strong><br />5) Abhors Those Who Step Out Of Bounds </strong></p> <p>Have you ever entertained a view that went against the grain of the mainstream only to be met with accusations of extremism and sneers befitting a leper? You were probably talking to an intellectual idiot. The rules, no matter how distasteful or meaningless, hold special power for these people. They make the system what it is, and when the system is your great provider, you might lean towards defending it, even in the wake of oligarchy and abuse. This penchant for overt structure for the sake of centralization is especially damaging to our Constitutional rights, because alternative solutions are never treated as viable. During the panel discussion in Helena, pro-collectivists consistently tried to redirect the conversation away from the 10th Amendment as a method to counter federal overreach. They did this by bringing up abuses of the states, including slavery and segregation, as if that somehow negated the nightmare of the NDAA.</p> <p>Ironically, they saw the use of violence by the federal government to push states to recognize civil liberties as perfectly practical. But, the use of force by states to protect the same civil liberties from Washington D.C.? That would be lunacy…<br /><strong><br />6) Believes Academia To Be Free From Bias</strong></p> <p>The Intellectual Idiot assimilates every bit of information he is given at the university level without a second look. He simply assumes it is all true, and if something appears mismatched, it is only because he does not yet fully grasp it. Very rarely will he go beyond designated source materials to get a different opinion. This habit is the root of his idiocy. Being that most universities draw from the same exact materials, and peer reviewed papers are usually tested by those with the exact same underlying educational backgrounds, I can’t see how it is possible for much variety of thought to form. Whether intentional or not, severe bias cannot be avoided in this kind of environment without considerable strength of heart.</p> <p>The shock that these people express when faced with Liberty Movement philosophies is quite real. They have spent the very focus of their future life within the confines of a miniscule spectrum of truth; like seeing technicolor for the first time after a long limited existence in black and white.</p> <p>It’s hard to say when it all really began, but for decades, Americans have been progressively tuned like pliable radio antenna to the song of the elitist intellectual. Many of us want to be him. Others want to follow him, straight to oblivion if need be, as long as they don’t have to blaze their own trail. This is not to say all professionals are a danger to the Republic. Some are fantastic proponents of freedom. But, without a drastic reversal in current educational trends, I see little hope of Constitutional guardians becoming a mainstay of U.S. campuses in the near term.</p> <p>With mashed potato minds fresh from the psychological Cuisinart of public schools, the next generation in line to inherit the most fantastically schizophrenic nation in history will be like candy for social engineers; utterly unequipped for the mission. Strangely, the drastic financial slide the elites have also triggered might hold the key to our salvation. The next batch of would be statist citizens may find themselves so poor that higher educational brainwashing will be impossible to afford, giving them precious time to think for themselves, and come to their own conclusions. As they say, in all things, there is a silver lining…</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p></div></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Eliott Abrams's White House " Murder Inc. ".
