Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.

I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Yemen False Flag Operation

For a nation that laudes Western Civilization Ethos of Morality, Ethics, and Logic, the position the United States of America has taken on the Palestinian people's undeniable right to Statehood, Self-determination, and their Unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is not only contrary to everything our forefathers have fought and died for but a black mark on the brow of Liberty itself.

Notes on Dedication of Book

The dedication pages of books are filled with esoteric ramblings oft reserved to honor family members or friends who have been instrumental to the authors task at hand or supportive of the cause the book speaks to. A dedication might conjure up the image of heroic deeds or perhaps be written to pay tribute to some battle weary warrior who has paid the ultimate sacrifice upon a majestic verdant field, blood soaked in the grist of humanity, whilst grasping the banner of freedom and rattling the gates of heaven and hell with memorable verse that will serve to awaken the dead and dying for generations to come. In the case at hand, my decision to dedicate this book to former Israeli Education Minister Shulamit Aloni is straightforward unabashed propaganda, in order to pay tribute to the King of David and a group of people so adept at the art form that they are now turning it upon themselves in a last ditch effort to convince themselves that the anvils of alchemy have been assuredly reserved for the children of Israel. I first learned of Shulamit Aloni when I read an opinion piece she wrote back in 2007 that was published in the online version of the popular Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, entitled Still a Democracy? With great courage and an honesty rarely displayed in the Jewish, Israeli, or American press, Ms. Aloni clearly stated that Israel is not a Jewish State and it is misguided thinking on the part of the Israeli government to demand that Palestinians and others consider it so. She goes on to state other truths such as the fact that Jews are indeed a group of people and not a nation and that being Jewish does not determine nationality:
The same is true of France; the Jews there are French. In Canada, they are Canadians, and in Holland they are Dutch. They uphold their Jewish lives in their communities, since in democratic nations there is freedom of religion and freedom from religion. If they were to register the Jewish citizens in these countries as "Jewish" in the nationality category, we would accuse them of being anti-Semitic. There is a difference between a people and a religion and a nationality, since nationality is decided by citizenship - a people as opposed to a nation - and therefore citizenship is nationality. The affinity of a citizen to the state is based on citizenship and not on religion; it is not based on the tribe nor on the heritage of the genes of the mother. [http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/still-a-democracy-1.233243]

What Ms. Aloni brings to the light of day is the exposition of long heralded Jewish and Israeli propaganda that has been used to oppress the Palestinian people and hoodwink Christian Americans and others

around the globe. I do not speak with Ms. Alonis elegance and the words in this book attest to this fact, however my message parallels hers and goes further to insist that the this Zionist perpetrated media fraud must be legitimately and immediately challenged by honest citizens of all nationalities across the globe. It is sad really that the dialogue is always reduced to name calling, sound bites and pure propaganda in its rawest form. Ms. Aloni in an interview with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now stated the following when asked about the charge of anti-semitism that is often leveled against the proponents for fairness in Israeli political affairs: Semantic Hijacking in Progress
Well its a trickwe always use it. When from Europe somebodys criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust, when in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are anti-semiticsand the organization is strong and has a los of moneyand the the ties between uh Israel and the American establish.Jewish establishment are very strong and they are strong in this country as you know..uh they have power, which is ok, they are talented people, and they have power of money and media and other things and their attitude is Israel my country right or wrong the identification.and they are not ready to hear criticism and its very easy to blame people who criticize certain acts of the Israeli government as anti-semitics and to bring up the holocaust and the suffering of the Jewish people.and that that it justifies everything we do to the Palestinians [http://youtu.be/jUGVPBO9_cA]

Today it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a paranoid group of insecure secular Jews who along with staunch Zionist Jews have inclinations towards racial exclusivity and bigotry. It is quite evident that they either fail to grasp or simply dismiss(due their own narrow worldview, or perhaps out of a genuine religious-based despite for gentiles or the goyim)the fact that there are literally millions of writers, thinkers, and concerned world citizens who voice their discontent with Israels policies of apartheid and the timid U.S. Foreign policy of blind appeasement towards Israel in its disregard for the human rights of its semitic Arab neighbors in the Middle East, not out of dislike, hatred, or the desire to see harm come to Jewish people in any form or fashion, but rather out of a profound sense of fairness, justice or the miscarriage thereof. Even as I write these words, there are Zionist propaganda specialists cooking up a new enhanced brand of so-called anti-semitism which they are now matter-of-factly, methodically, and diabolically labeling the new anti-semitism. This new version, which has been meticulously designed to assist in the advancement of the apartheid policies of Israel, is basically a catch-all for any argument that the Zionist or the bigoted and racist amongst the Jews cannot win due to the inherent fallacy of logic embedded in their own arguments. Racism is fast becoming a central tenet of Israels national identity and will remain

so as long as the super-racist Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in power. There is a growing belief amongst Middle Eastern observers that Netanyahu is becoming increasingly irrational in his thinking. This can be dangerous for any nation, let alone one that is constantly embroiled in regional conflict with its neighbors. Recently, Netanyahu attempted to force upon a democratic nation a level of religious-based racist bigotry not seen since the days of World War II era fascism. In an article that appeared on Harretz.com on October 10th, 2010 written by Chaim Levinson and Jonathan Lis entitled Netanyahu wants loyalty oath bill to include Jews as well which described Netanyahus cabinet ministers decision to implement a new extension to Israels loyalty oathan oath that requires not only allegiance to Israel but requires the citizen or resident alien to acknowledge that Israel is both a Jewish and a democratic stateit was stated that the response from opposition leaders was swift and the new oath was condemned as blatant racism:
Ahmed Tibi, Chairman of the United Arab List-Taal, said "the idea in its original form is bad." "There is no place for this version, not for Jews or for Arabs, unless someone feels the need to give in to Lieberman's whims or to battle his fascism," said Tibi. "Forcing a principal ethical identity on Jews and Arabs as one is completely unnecessary. It is redundant and is an attempt to enforce an ideology which Jews and Arabs need to adamantly oppose." Last week, leader of the opposition and Kadima chairwoman Tzipi Livni condemned the loyalty oath bill, calling it "politics at its worst." Hadash chairman Mohammed Barakeh blamed Netanyahu and Barak for supporting and promoting "mega-racist legislation." Israeli Arab MK Talab al-Sana said that "the amendment is a serious blow to democracy and will cause the exclusion of 20 percent of the country's citizens... [It] will situate Israel as the successor of Apartheid-era South Africa."

On July 18th, 2010, Netanyahus loyalty oath passed with the exception that it only applies to non-Jews seeking to immigrate to Israel. I wonder how the world Jewry would feel if the right wing elements of the U.S. Congress demanded a loyalty oath to the United States as both a Democracy and a Christian nation. Fortunately, there are Jews the

world over including those in America that do not support Netanyahus way of thinking. And for the record, NOT ALL JEWS THINK ALIKE, contrary to what is presented in the U.S. mainstream news media. The following is the statement J Street put out on Netanyahus fascist policy. [J Street is the powerful Jewish Lobby in Washington, D.C.]:
Statement on Proposed Israeli Loyalty Oath October 8, 2010 at 11:30 am J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami released the following statement upon news that the Israeli Government is considering an amendment to the Citizenship Act that would demand that new citizens pledge their loyalty to a Jewish, democratic state: J Street opposes the proposal Israels Government is considering to amend the oath that non-Jewish applicants must take to acquire Israeli citizenship. The oath, which currently asks new citizens to pledge loyalty to the state of Israel and its laws, would now include the phrase as a Jewish, democratic state. Israels laws and its Declaration of Independence speak for themselves in affirming Israels Jewish and democratic nature. Adding the new language serves no purpose other than furthering the political agenda of some factions in the present governing coalition. Further, the new language will put Israel at odds not only with other democracies, but with its stated commitment to full equality for its Arab, Druze, Muslim, Christian and other non-Jewish citizens. We are unaware of another democracy in the world that requires an oath of loyalty to the religious identity of the state. Certainly none discriminates in this manner in the conditions for citizenship on the basis of religion. We share the concerns expressed by such leading Israelis as Deputy Prime Minister and Likud Party member Dan Meridor who said the proposal would harm relations with Israels Arabs and damage the countrys international reputation, and Minister for Minority Affairs Avishai Braverman who said this is an outrageous, irresponsible move that pours oil on the fire of Israels delegitimization around the world. As renowned Israeli political observer Nahum Barnea put it this morning, With this bill, Israel is buying an exit ticket from the family of nations and an entry ticket into the family of Kahane. This is an anti-Zionist bill. [Editorial Comment: Here we find an interesting comment. The statement This is an anti-Zionist bill is propaganda statement designed to confuse people as to what Zionism is. Zionism is Netanyahu. Netanyahu and those like him are the true face of Zionism.] We join with these and other leading Israelis across the political spectrum in calling on the government of Israel to pull back from this proposal which runs

counter not just to the values enshrined in the countrys Declaration of Independence, but puts at risk the very democratic nature of the state itself. Update: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now called for the oath to extend to both Jews and non-Jews seeking citizenship. J Street remains opposed to the proposal for the reasons enumerated in the statement above.

Abe Foxman is the overrated. When Abe rises out of bed in the morning, he looks in the mirror and says, I am G-ds chosen people. Abe simply doesnt understand that the word people is plural and not every Jew is bigoted and racist as he. Old Abe fully supports Netanyahu. On his ADL website, he issued a press statement calling for Israel to extend the loyalty oath to anyone wishing to immigrate to Israel.
New York, NY, October 11, 2010 The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called on the government of Israel to extend a proposed amendment to the citizenship law to cover all immigrants seeking citizenship. Under the 1952 Citizenship Law, naturalized immigrants currently declare: " I will be a loyal national of the State of Israel." A similar declaration is not required of those seeking citizenship under Israel's Law of Return. The amendment approved by the Cabinet adds the words: "as a Jewish and democratic state, and I promise to honor the laws of the state." Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement: In the spirit of Israel's founding principles of equality, we urge Israel's government to adopt further modifications to the proposed amendment to the citizenship law so it will apply to all immigrants to Israel, including those entering under the law of return. Many countries around the world, including the United States, require new citizens to take such oaths of allegiance to their new country.

If Israel revises its current law, it is appropriate that it apply to everyone seeking to become a citizen of Israel.

Unfortunately, for the average American reader that has not ventured into the realm of Israeli, Palestinian, or other semitic news publications in order to better understand the views of the Arab, the Jew, and other Semites in the Middle East, and, unless one regularly watches a BBC news channel, it is most likely that much of what is read in this book shall be new information and hopefully educational and insightful. The mainstream media in the United States has a serious deficit in the ethics department and this in turn creates a vacuum of current and usable world news for consumers. The words fair and balanced no longer apply to the U.S. mainstream media. They have been replaced with censorship by omission, and yellow journalistic sensationalism.

If one is fortunate enough to own a major media network, one wields a considerable amount of real power and with this power comes responsibility or burden of ethical behavior. If this burden cannot be met by the network owners and producers, then they do not deserve the power they assume. And by golly, it can be taken away from them if it comes to that. Americans have been known to march on Washington. We could march en masse and demand our airwaves back. Just as Rupert Murdoch has recently been found by the British Government to be unfit to run a multinational media firm, I believe that those who use pure propaganda techniques in news delivery also fit this category. Yellow journalism is rampant in this country, and the exploitation by the mainstream media of the poor and underprivileged is on the upswing. When one cowers behind deception because ones world view is so distorted that it is publicly indefensible, it is a true sign of a man to be pitied. And today, I pity the media owner and producer that are involved in the day to day operation of running the national media in the United States, those that are intentionally manipulating news to fit a Zionist world view, whether by commission or omission. I did not see a single story on the U.S. mainstream news channels about the street protests that occurred in Israel during the Arab Spring uprisings. But in fact there is growing political unrest there. However, when Bibi the Bully comes to town and drops in on the U.S. Congress to deliver a speech to a gushing group of congressional lapdogs that worship Jewish campaign dollars more than the U.S. Constitution, all of a sudden, Israel is the focus of attention. Shame on you all! For rational Americans that fully understand the legacy and responsibility of being a citizen in the longest running Democracy in the free world, there is growing concern about recent actions undertaken by the U.S. Department of State and particularly in the Middle Eastern and Near Eastern Departments on our behalf, actions that for all practical purposes are serving to aid and abet the apartheid State of Israel in setting up the foundational basis on which a policy of ethnic cleansing may be implemented. There is sufficient evidence of this in State Department documents and recently disclosed embassy communications transcripts, think tank position papers, world news reports, and even in the training documents at the Joint Forces Staff College, an institution that was established by the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 28 June 1946 as the Armed Forces Staff College (AFSC) and was renamed in Oct. of 2000 under the Defense Authorization Bill. The mission statement of this fine institution is as follows:

To educate national security professionals to plan and execute operational-level joint, multinational, and interagency operations to instill a primary commitment to joint, multinational, and interagency teamwork, attitudes, and perspectives. However, it was recently uncovered that some of the teachings of a one Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley did not reflect that professionalism and traditions of the institution. Dooley was teaching a course that he personally developed and titled: Jihad: Defined and Operationalized. In the materials that were shown to officers in the presentation were a few racist cartoons presenting Arabs and Muslims in ridiculous stereotypes. Now personally, I am all for politically incorrect cartoons about any and every race, gender, and religion on the planet earth simply because I am not a politically correct individual and believe such nonsense makes for a dull world, but my personal sense of humor was checked at the door when I entered the United States Air Force years ago, and remained so until the day I received my discharge papers and returned to being a private citizen. Here are a few ideal Lt. Col. Dooley was pushing: This model calls for a direct ideological and philosophical confrontation with Islam (as it is self-defined, in Islam's own words). This confrontation will likely make anyone who sees the world in morally equivalent and/or religiously equivalent terms very uncomfortable. This model presumes that Islam (as it currently defines itself) is an ideology rather than solely a religion; with the normally associated protections we afford such beliefs. This model asserts Islam has already declared war on the West, and the United States specifically, as is demonstrable with over 30 years of violent history. It is, therefore, illogical to continue along our current global strategy models that presume there are always possible options for common ground and detent with the Muslim Umma without waging near "total war." Some actions offered for consideration here will be seen as not "politically correct" in the eyes of many, both inside and outside the United States (Examples: Decision Points considered in PH III where Saudi Arabia threatened with starvation Mecca and Medina destroyed. Islam reduced to cult status). This model presumes Geneva Convention IV 1949 standards of armed conflict and the pursuant UN endorsements of it are now, due to the current common practices of Islamic terrorists, no longer relevant or

respected globally. This would leave open the option once again of taking war to a civilian population wherever necessary (the historical precedents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki being applicable to the Mecca and Medina destruction DP in Phase III). This model presumes we have already failed at Phase 1Deterrence therefore Phase I is not shown as a part of this OP Design framework. This model restates previous internationally accepted Geneva Conventions for protections afforded to combatants captured in uniform and reiterates removal of protections for those who are caught fighting/operating out of uniform (spys, terrorists, criminals).

Dooley then delineates his political goals: Near Term End to Politically Correct Information environment that precludes open, public discussion of Islam as it truly defines itself Unambiguous STRATCOM warning to terror net financial support actors and nation-state colluders prevents potential US escalation (Branch#1: destruction of Islamic capital cities and major Islamic holy sites) Each nation-state agrees to a clearly defined UN standard for VEO accountability as a means to achieving a political option for resolution of GWOT Intermediate Term The establishment of negotiated political agreements that lead to sustainable security Middle-East, Africa, and the Far-East focused on staking in Islamic countries on accountability to suppress radical Islam. Long Term Islam undergoes a fundamental transformation to something that it currently is not. Islam then achieves peace with other religions and systems of governance, with no accepted doctrinal adherence to lesser jihad (war) as a requirement. Representative governments throughout the world that respect the human rights of all people (HR not defined by Sharia)

Law enforcement and military forces globally sufficient to maintain domestic order and to deny safe havens for VEOs.

Lt. Col. Dooley frames his philosophy on an answer he provides to a question he asks of his officers: Why are we Culturally Vulnerable to this Threat? His answer: This nation was founded under a judeo-christian" ethic of reason and tolerance. Intolerance is usually marginalized and compromise often celebrated. The 1st Amendment is a manifestation of the above cultural norm and reflects an enshrinement of both free-speech and protection of religious practice. The deconstructionist philosophies (popularized in the 1960s) have given rise to a cultural willingness to accept moral equivalency in all matters. According to deconstructionalism, one person's meaning (or religion, or ideology) is equal in truth and validity to any other. By extension then Islam and its ideology/politics of hate/violence are just us legitimate as Christianity, capitalism or representative democracy. Ergo, the West" can make no philosophical claim to be better" and have no legitimacy in demanding any compromise from the Islamic community.

How absurd. Especially the part about Islam=Violence and Christianity=Capitalism=Representative Democracy. So what does he propose to call peaceful capitalist Muslims? Lt. Col. Dooleys view of history is a bit skewed. Perhaps his home library is missing a few books. As we shall learn in subsequent chapters, the promotion of capitalism often equates violence no matter whether it be Christians or Muslims standing in the way of its progress, and history has proved over and over again that capitalism has been forced upon one unwilling nation after another at the barrel of a gun. It was confirmed by the Pentagon on May 12th, 2012 that Lt. Col. Dooley was relieved of his teaching position, although he remains an employee of the Joint Forces Staff College.

Does that mean that Dooley is 100% wrong in his assessment of his enemy?No it does not, and considering the voracious appetite many American Christians have for exercising their Second Amendment rights, I would be willing to bet that quite a few would be willing to use those arms should an invading army ever set foot upon American shores. And I

am also willing to bet that there are quite a few fundamentalist Christians willing to go to war over their belief in the Biblethat great historical record about the Jews that contains the literature of not only Semitic peoples to include both Arabs and Jews, but also Persiansbecause apparently some Christians do not possess the mental faculty necessary to logically discern fact from fiction, and the Bible is full of both.

Recently, as a result of years of successful and unchecked political bullying, Zionist ideologues within the membership of the American Jewish lobby have been successful at pressuring nave bureaucrats in the Obama Administrations Department of Education and Justice

Department to implement newly minted and un-Constitutional antidiscrimination rules that are being applied to the fine art of suppressing free speech on college campuses. In his most recent paper entitled The New OCR Anti-Semitism Policy, which was published in on April 30th, 2011, professor Kenneth L. Marcus, who holds the title of Lillie and Nathan Ackerman Chair in Equality and Justice in America at Baruch College in New York City, informs us that the Obama administration will now attempt to stop bullying on college campuses by prosecuting anyone who speaks out against Apartheid Israel or the terrorist ideology of Zionism, under what will be hence forth known as the Ali Rule. The Ali Rule is named after Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights Russlynn Ali. According to Professor Marcus: On October 26, 2010, the Obama Justice Department released an opinion letter confirming the legal correctness of the 2004 policy. This letter, written by Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez to Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights Russlynn Ali, quotes the key section of the 2004 Policy and concludes simply, We agree with that analysis.[9] The relevant portion of the 2004 Policy, which now carries the imprimatur of the Obama Justice Department, reads as follows:
Groups that face discrimination on the basis of shared ethnic characteristics may not be denied the protection of our civil rights laws on the ground that they also share a common faith. Similarly, the existence of facts indicative of religious discrimination does not divest OCR of jurisdiction to investigate and remedy allegations of race or ethnic discrimination. OCR will exercise its jurisdiction to enforce the Title VI prohibition against national origin discrimination, regardless of whether the groups targeted for discrimination also exhibit religious characteristics. Thus, for example, OCR aggressively investigates alleged race or ethnic harassment against Arab Muslim, Sikh, and Jewish students.[10]

Simultaneously, Assistant Secrertary Ali accepted IJCRs recommendation and affirmed the Marcus Policy in a guidance letter directed to recipients of federal education funding (the Ali Policy).

Marcus explains the history of the policy as follows:

Until 2004, OCR typically refused to investigate anti-Semitism complaints on the grounds that Jews are a religion, not a race or national origin. In 2004, late in my tenure as head of OCR, I issued a series of policy statements announcing that OCR would henceforth investigate anti-Semitism

complaints to the extent that they implicate ethnic or ancestral bias (the 2004 Policy or the Marcus Policy).

He then elaborates on what I deem to be the un-Constitutional part of the policy:

First, the Ali Policy establishes that unlawful anti-Semitic harassment on federally funded campuses does not have to include intent to harm.[13] This is significant because perpetrators often deny that they are anti-Semitic and insist that they did not mean to harm any individual Jews. These denials have been given more credence than they deserve, because so many contemporary incidents of the new anti-Semitism may appear at first blush to target Israel or Zionists rather than Jewish students per se. The denials are typically implausible though in several respects: because the new anti-Semitism shares extensive common tropes with its precursors, because research demonstrates a close relationship between anti-Israel and anti-Semitic views, and because antiSemitism and racism are commonly repressed or denied in the post-War West as an unconscious response to guilt associated with these phenomena.[14] Under the Ali Policy, such defenses will be given no credence. Good policies are one thing, but effective enforcement is another. Whether this policy succeeds in practice will depend on three factors. First, OCR must address anti-Semitic incidents that masquerade as anti-Israelism. On college campuses and especially in protests brought by the anti-Israel boycotts, divestment and sanctions movement it is now widely understood that attacking Jews by name is impolitic, but that one can smear Zionists with impunity.[18] In its preliminary resolution of the landmark University of California at Irvine case, OCR appeared unable to recognize the extent to which [a]nti-Semitic bigotry in the words of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights could be camouflaged as anti-Israelism or anti-Zionism.[19] [http://spme.net/cgi-bin/articles.cgi?ID=7967]

This absurd new claim by Zionist Jews is being advanced like a high interest loan from the local pawn and gun, apparently out of desperation due to the fact that they have been steadfastly losing the debate over the legitimacy of Israels supremacy in the land of Palestine and losing the debate over their efforts to confuse as many people as possible over the notion as to whether the word Jew represents a religion, a culture, or a nation. This is something that Shulamit Aloni succinctly pointed out in her writings. The propaganda arm of Zionist Jews is now working feverishly around the clock to ensure that anyone who dares make a negative statement about Israel is lumped in with genuine Jew-haters, a breed of scoundrels that apparently still exists around the world on the fringes of polite society. This is a dangerous path that we as a nation are now headed down given the reality of the very real interconnectedness between the State of Israel and the United States. Considering the un-Constitutional U.S.

Obama-Ali policy of the suppression of free speech on college campuses based on illogical Zionist arguments taken together with Israels misguided policy of loyalty and it becomes astonishingly apparent that we have a recipe for totalitarianism and ethnic cleansing. Even the former head of the Israeli Mossad is now jumping on the new anti-semitism bandwagon. In a recent April 29th, 2012 article entitled Dagan: There is a New Form of Anti-Semitism in the World that appeared in the Jerusalem Post, Dagan is reported to have stated at a recent New York Jerusalem Post Conference that "there is an unholy alliance" between left-wing radicals and Islamists. I recently viewed the video that was posted on the Jerusalem Post website of this event. It is interesting the choreography that goes into the production of such spectacles. The conference was opened with Israeli singer Neshema Carlebach (whom by the way has a beautiful voice) out front with a group of African American Baptist back-up singers. The imagery is not lost on those of us that fully understand the art of subtle propaganda, although I sincerely doubt that Carlsbach grasps that she is being used for such purposes. But then again, the way in which she attempts to pull the crowd in to Israel-worship with her gentle cooing, I may be underestimating her talents. Neshema Carlebachs father was Rabbi Scholomo Carlebach who founded the Baal Teshuva Movement that advocates for young secular Jews to return to religious Judaism. The movement has had limited success in America as most American Jews dont speak or read Hebrew and most would most likely be repulsed by what is written in the Talmud should they ever take the time to read it. Examples of Talmud literature is disclosed in an article written by Benjamin H. Freedman in Part IV, Chapter 9 of in this book. Among the speakers noted to be at the event were Professor Alan M. Dershowitz, who is the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School; Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents; Dr. David Breakstone Vice Chairman of the World Zionist Organization; and Jerusalem Post columnist Isi Leibler, former leader of the Australian Jewry. The video for this event was posted on the Jerusalem Post. Normally they allow their videos to be embedded on websites. Perhaps this one was too controversial. I wish to make the case that we Americans, to include Jews, Christians, Islamists, Buddhists of all nationalities came to America for one reason, to escape tyranny and freely worship and be free from debtors prisons. If we allow Israel to hijack our system of fairness and balance in laws, then we have indeed become a nation of spineless supplicants, and I for one refuse to believe that and refuse to allow it to happen.

I am also in firm belief that amongst the remaining Jews who actually experienced the horrors of World War II there are indeed those that hold internal fears they find hard to repress, whether or not these may seem logical or rational in the context of modernity and progress to an outside observer, and some of this fear I am quite certain is more pronounced with some Jews than others depending upon what they personally experienced during the war. However, some younger Jews that I have observed on YouTube Videos filmed at public forums balling like cry-babies when arguing with such notable Jews of logic as Norman Finkelstein over the legitimacy of the uniqueness of the suffering of Jews, and who are now three generations removed from World War II, in my book are simply charlatans and snake oil salesmen that have perhaps been brainwashed during their summer retreats to Israel where they are occasionally spoken to by a couple of seventy year old hard-core bearded Zionists that implore them to marry someone Jewish, go to worship regularly, and move to Israel as soon as possible. I actually feel sorry for these Jews; for they are squandering the opportunity the internet provides to genuinely share their culture with others, those that may be interested in learning more from them than fear, bigotry and hatred and the notion that they are somehow G-ds chosen people. I am Gods chosen writer and I am not Jewish. How do I know this?Because he told me so when I got lost in the desert of my thoughts the other night and wandered around the house in a blind stupor for forty minutes and forty seconds. Of course, the whiskey no doubt improved the vision. I am also in firm belief that some Jews take full advantage of the notion of Jewish suffering to perpetuate their own bigotry and domination over others, and in order to conveniently dismiss any legitimate argument that is contrary to their cause and beliefs. I have long held out the invitation that any Semite, whether he be a Jew or Arab, Israeli or Palestinian, is welcome to sit at my dinner table on the condition they converse with me in a civil manner and check their sidearms at the front door if they are so inclined to war mongering. Persians, Hindus, Asians, and others are equally welcome, and for my fellow Americans that dont know the differenceIranians are not Arabs by the way, theyre Persian and they speak the language of Farsi, not Arabic. I may not agree with your world view and your politics, but I still do not hate you, as there is no room for hate in a world that is growing smaller by the day, hour, and minute. If we as a group of humans are to

continue to dwell on the planet earth together, these differences and hatreds must be sorted out in an honest manner. I, like many other Americans, am simply fed up and tired of listening to the slogans of bigots, those that shout out anti-semitism every time the topic of fairness in U.S. foreign policy and Israels Policy of Apartheid is discussed or the racist elements of Zionism and the filth in the Talmud are brought to the attention of over-zealous Rabbis. I personally wont stand for it and quite frankly neither should you. Does that mean I am going to reach for my shot-gun and commence shooting Jews for sport? No, it most certainly does not. My shotgun is reserved for squirrel hunting back in Tennessee and given my sublime enjoyment of nature these days; I doubt the squirrels are in too much danger either. But I will reach for my pen, my typewriter, or my laptop and freely express my views as I am entitled to do as a taxpaying citizen of these here United States of America. And if you are a bigoted and racist Zionist Jew and I happen to rub you the wrong way, so be ityou are still welcome at my house for dinner, but you will have to check your sidearm and your bigotry at the door. The meal will however cost five bucks per head for Jews and nickel for Palestinians because I want a rebate on my tax dollars and that should work out in proportion to the aid we have been giving both sides.

Shulamit Aloni
Miss Aloni was born on November 29th, 1928. She is 83 years old. She founded the Ratz in Israel and served as a leader in the Meretz Party. From 1992 to 1993, she was Israels Minister of Education. She has been a vocal opponent of the occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza strip. With the founding of the Ratz party, she became a leading voice in the push for the separation between religion and state, and for the civil rights of all citizens. Israeli politics are a rough and tumble game, with religious overtones and disatified party members representing many factions and opinions of Israeli life. Often new parties spring up at the drop of a hat. Through this all, Miss Aloni has been an advocate for Peace. She defended President Jimmy Carters usage of the word Apartheid to describe the current political situation in Palestine and has been a voice for womens issues, a voice that is often drowned out by the male hormone infested political arena of the Middle East. Shulamit Aloni was the 1998 sole recipient of a special lifetime achievement award of the Emil Grunzweig Human Rights Award bestowed by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and in 200 she received one her nations highest honors in her acceptance of the Israel Prize. She is also noted as being on the list of 200 Greatest Israelis. Ms. Aloni worte Lo yekholah aheret which translates to Democracy in Shackles in 1997 in which she makes the case that Israels woes are due to the extremism of Israels Orthodox Jews. [ASIN B007V6MOVE] There is a chapter written about her in Elinor & Robert Slaters book entitled Great Jewish Women which was published in 2006. [ISBN10: 0824603702][ISBN-13: 978-0824603700]

Acknowledgements
I would like to thank the following individuals for helping me through the process of writing this book. First, my wife of 20 years whom I love and adore and who patiently awaits me at the end of the day when I turn off my laptop to join her for a cup of coffee as we sit and listen to the birds chirping and evening crickets as the sun retreats to the horizon in a brilliant palette of pink and orange, the hallmark of a South Texas sunset. Next, Lem Londos Railsback, Ph.D., professor, friend, and confidant, who patiently reads my work, judiciously cautions me on my candor and exuberance for colorful language, but also understands my zeal to change things in our world that could use some improvement. I would also like to acknowledge his great courage in the face lifes trials and tribulations in which he sets a high example for one to follow. I spent hours reading books, papers, blogs and websites of Persian writers, thinkers and political activists, many of whom are living in exile awaiting the great awakening that is surely coming someday, one which will allow them the freedom to return to their homeland to a government worthy of its great peopleone free of religious fanaticism and inhumane brutality. As I seek to better understand the wide range of views on Iran, I am grateful for the insights shared with me by new acquaintances and friends and would like to especially thank Mrs. Roya Parsay, who took the time to explain names, correct my spellings, and point me in the right direction as I was sought out additional information, and Ahreeman, the founder of Iran Politics Club.net for opening my eyes to viewpoints that are being suppressed by the mainstream media. And finally, I would like to thank Providence for allowing me the good fortune of having been born in a nation blessed by the good works of sensible and honorable men, namely James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Patrick Henry, John Adams, and Thomas Paine, men of great courage who participated in creating the greatest political system known to modern man, although imperfect, that has lasted over two hundred yearsup until about the time the GWBush league lawyers, U.S. State Department constitutional usurpers, and the zealots responsible for setting up the Israeli-modeled Department of Homeland Security, ran amuck and hijacked our democracy, setting it back 100 years. And I would be remiss in my duty as an American Citizen should I fail to mention Old Hickory, who had the integrity and fortitude to remind the Supreme Court of just how much power they really have when it comes right down to it, lest they forget.

On the Creation of Israel

Alongside the newer considerations of strategic and commercial interests stands the long tradition of American disinterestedness in the domestic political affairs of other peoples and its profession of democratic idealism, best expressed in the Middle East through the philanthropic work of private American organizations. It is very much in the national interest of the United States that the "reservoir of goodwill" engendered by such activity not be squandered. It is the very antithesis of American tradition to play a partisan role in fixing the political destiny of the Arab peoples, especially one in opposition to the expressed wishes of a population's majority. Millions of Middle Easterners regard our official sponsorship of a Jewish state in Palestine as "un-American"; persistence in such a policy will undermine the moral prestige of the United States in this area for years to come. It is such considerations as these that are very much on the minds of American planners, and it is proper that they should be. They also pose a question which Americans, Zionists or otherwise, should ponder: Will the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine jeopardize the position of the United States in the Middle East? When all factors are taken into account it is difficult to arrive at anything but an affirmative answer, for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine would disrupt the Arab world and very possibly obstruct the development of democratic stability among the Arab peoples. It will undermine the American prestige among them for years to come, andof more pressing concernease the path of Soviet infiltration. Kermit Roosevelt Jr., February 1947

Preface What this book is and what it isnt:

This book is meant to be entertaining and educational at the same time. In general, I suspect that most readers of this book will fit one of four categories: 1. U.S. Citizens seeking to learn the truth about the Transportation Security Administrations urgent implementation of head to toe back-scatter X-rays and offensive full body pat-downs at our nations airports. 2. U.S. Foreign Policy & Constitutional Usurpers embedded over at the U.S. Department of State. 3. Scholars looking for something that may have missed. 4. Soldiers looking for the answer to the question why? 5. Semantic hijackers looking for a new angle. To that regard, I will begin by stating that there is enough information in this book to go around, to give each reader his fair share. However, there will no doubt be a few readers, those whom support ideas foreign to individual liberty and freedom, who will become highly uncomfortable, perhaps a even a bit agitated and frustrated over the fact that men such as James Madison and his good friend and supporter Thomas Jefferson saw to it that Americas writers were provided a Bill of Rights that includes the rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. Let me state up front that I am not a politically correct writer. Within the pages of this book I have most assuredly managed to insult conservatives, liberals, democrats, republicans, liberal conservatives, conservative liberals, scientists, war-lords, thugs, nincompoops, military strategist, queers, hookers, trollops, salon keepers, bullies, Christians, Muslims, Jews, jackasses, communists, socialists, tyrants, Iranians, Iraqis, Arabs, Israelis, semantic hijackers, bankers, oil drillers, writers, gunrunners, yellow journalists, scholars, critics, historians, God, G-d, gods, goddesses, the devil, horse thieves, jelly bean eaters, government censors, news anchors, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNBC, CNN, XYZ, the CIA, terrorists, madrasahs, mullahs, muckrakers, assassins, the pencil industry, and a few morally deprived prevaricators, and the fascist Zionists that cooked up Americas Homeland Security Administration in general. If, after having read this book you discover I left someone out,

31

shoot me a letter and Ill add another chapter and include it in the next print run. This book is not intended to be a scholarly work per se. Consider it a written documentary. I want the reader to have a resource book that may assist them in better understanding what is afoot over in Washington and to expose a few historical events in our history that have been obscured from school books and the public at large, prior to the Internet Revolution, that have shaped our government and gotten us into the situation we now find ourselves in, that being an often despised democracy that in many parts of the world is no longer respected as we once were. A scholarly work would require the mundane socialist idea of properly annotating references to some Chicago academicians notion of just what is kosher and what isnt. I also state this clearly, because I do read the book reviews that my books receive, often to my bemusement, especially when the reviewer unveils himself to be what he is, and what he isnt, and I have been criticized my work not being scholarly even though I never intended it to such. One feller who took offense to the words I wrote in one book claimed it was written at a fourth grade level and was not a scholarly work. Of course the reviewer was lacking a good deal of information from which to draw such a conclusion i.e., my intent, and the last time I checked, the average reading ability of the average American is around the eighth to ninth grade level. Now I certainly would be embarrassed should I not give my reader his fair share of literacy and I am acutely aware that insulting the intelligence of my reader by assuming they read at a level no higher than the average American reads would not be in my best economic interest. Thus, I have installed Flesch-Kincaid calculator module installed on my computer that not only counts words, but multiple, divides, cubes, squares, halves, parallels, pats them down for illicit nouns, x-rays them for communist infiltration and occasionally curses at them, but at that end of all that spits out a fairly accurate readability score that advises me to either lighten up or occasionally pull out my trusty sentence-extender. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that the feller who gave me the negative critique indeed reads at the 12th grade level. I suspect the fourth graders he was referring to were all born on leap year. That being said, I fully intend to continue writing books at around this level as I wish them to be read by the broadest possible audience without alienating either extremely low level readers or extremely high level technical readers. The low level readers may have to occasionally whip out their dictionaries, but that is a good thing, is it not?

General Organization of Information:

Literally over a thousand news sources, to include books, videos, articles, discussions, interviews, and documents where read, studied, turned upside down, some thrown out the window like a boomerang in hopes of receiving them back with new and better information attached, or in some cases in hopes of having some information slide off the page, others were shaken up, stirred up, tossed up, and in the case of a few Chicago-based White House documents, shaken down in order to ascertain that truth of the matter at hand or perhaps in hopes of finding a quarter for a cup of coffee. Part I examines the 1953 Coup dtat of Mossadegh, the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, the characters involved, the use of media as a propaganda tool of government and clandestine intelligence operations, and the consequences of such actions. Part II will no doubt excite a few members of the scientific community to a frothing state of what?as it brings to light a unique perspective of how our U.S. Department of State got to be in the mess that it is today, and first up are a few essays on Einstein that explore his contribution to our body of knowledge on American foreign policy as related to the formation of the State of Israel. These writings are immediately followed by an extremely important document that should ameliorate any fears American citizens and Israelis alike may have as to the intentions of Iran and its nuclear power program. This document is the National Director of Intelligence, James Clappers January 31st, 2012 report entitled Unclassified Statement for the Record on the Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. We shall let this document set the tone for this book. The bottom line coming from this document is as follows: 1. Al Qaeda is no longer a serious threat to America 2. Iran has no known intention to make nuclear weapons We next examine little known facts about Israel, its growing divide between the rich and the poor, its Nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction Program and the whistle blower who informed the world about Israels WMD (weapons of mass destruction) program, a man by the name of Mordechai Vanunu that was subsequently imprisoned for 24 years, and information on tricks of the Israeli propaganda machine which are important if one is to understand why the usurpation of U.S. foreign policy continues unchecked.

33

Part III examines how Wikileaks and Julian Assange have played an unexpected, somewhat suspicious, and certainly important part in our nations current foreign policy history in the Middle East. Included here is the Court Order directed at the California-based internet hosting company that allegedly hosted Assanges Wikileaks website ordering them turn over all information related to Wikileaks to include all the names and IP addresses of anyone that ever even took a peek at said documents. Quite frankly, I was surprised that the order did not ask for a list of New York Times Newspaper subscribers. Part IV unravels the mystery of the Yemen False Flag Operation. This section includes my introduction to the subject matter at hand, in which I make the case that our current U.S. Foreign Policy is misguided and that the U.S. Department of State is increasingly being used by the President in a role that was explicitly reserved in the War Powers Act of the U.S. Constitution for Congress to undertake, that being to declare war and use the nations resources to that regard. So lets jump right in with a reminder to Congress, the President, and the State Department:
U.S. Constitution: Article I, The Legislative Branch, Section 8, Powers of Congress:

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations; To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years; To provide and maintain a Navy; To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces; To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Following the introduction, the reader is taken back to Katy Courics October 28th, 2010 evening news report the night it was announced by the mainstream media that bombs bound for Chicago synagogues had been discovered on airplanes originating from Yemen.

34

Next, a timeline is provided that outlines news and media events that took place more or less within the year prior to and up until the present day as related to the event and Americas new ambition to expand the War on Terror to Yemen and Somalia. Following this, I take the reader back in time to the Vietnam War to review one of the most famous false flag operations in our nations history, that being the Gulf of Tonkin Incident that President Lyndon B. Johnson leveraged to propel the United States into an undeclared war on the Vietnamese people in the name of containment or to halt the spread of world-wide communism. What many do know is that Johnson was the top salesman for Bell Helicopter Corporation each year he was in office. In the next chapter, I introduce the Firebombing of Japan to those readers that have never heard of this incident and the fact that it slaughtered more Japanese lives that did both Atomic Bombs combined that were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Napalm bombs, or jellied petroleum was dropped on no less that 67 Japanese cities. This incident was concealed from the U.S. public for more than fifty years. Had we the United States not been victorious in World War II, and had not the post-war focus been on atrocities committed against the Jews by the Nazi war machine, the U.S. generals and politicians behind this event most likely would have been charged with war crimes. This statement will be hard to swallow for World War II veterans that experienced first hands the horrors of that war and believed they were fighting to free the good people of Europe and avenge the Japanese so-called sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, but it is time for we the people of the United States to admit that we do occasionally turn a few nut-jobs lose in our armed services to conduct war on our behalf, lest the government censors plan on erasing from our written history the Massacre at Mai-Lai, and more recently an Afghanistan village slaughter allegedly carried out by a U.S Army Staff Sergeant for whom we yet hold out hope had a reasonable motive if true. We will not know until a fair and impartial jury hears his case. In chapter 4, I begin the discussion in earnest of the events leading up to and surrounding the Yemen False Flag Operation, and the evidence of this charade that pulled the wool over the eyes of gullible Americans everywhereAmericans who have grown complacent and compliant to the rising tide of fascism in the United States, a fascism that is being perpetrated by those, who apparently out of fear of losing their own position and status in life, are now attempting at all costs to corral and control the masses by suppressing the free flow of information around the globe.

35

Also included in Part IV are Transportation Security Administration related documents to include a schedule of penalties and fines a U.S. citizen airline passenger might incur for looking at a TSA agent crooked, or for refusing to be felt-up by a baggage handler. What I did not find in the TSAs schedule of penalties and fines was information that states a citizen might get Taserd and beaten by a baton as happened to U.S. Army National Guard Sergeant Mark England back in January of 2007 at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada after he questioned a TSA agent. Of course the TSA agent had the help of a couple of Las Vegas Metros finest assisting in the beat-down. Moral of the story: Police bullies usually hunt in packs because they have wee little bitty batons they are ashamed of when alone. [http://youtu.be/1kiPuyssrko] The final document in Part IV is Whitehouse Executive Order 13324, which makes a terrorist out any international business man who happens to support his own government back home should the leaders of that government come up short when their ideals and actions are examined by the three wise men of Zion who are currently running roughshod over the U.S. Department of States Middle Eastern and Near Eastern affairs departments. Ok, so maybe there are a few hard-core terrorists in the bunchbut a list of 400,000 names by the summer of 2008? Come on! Shame on us! No, I take that backshame on the witch-hunting zealots that cooked up the policy and the bureaucrats that expect the over-worked and understaffed FBI to get right 100% of the time. According to the U.s. Department of Justices OIG Audit Report 09-05 from May of 2009 entitled The Federal Bureau of Investigations Terrorist Watchlist Nomination Practices, we learn the following about the number of individuals on the watchlist:
Since the establishment of the watchlist in 2004, the FBI has nominated or processed the nominations for more than 68,000 known or suspected terrorist identities.3 As of December 31, 2008, the consolidated terrorist watchlist contained more than 1.1 million known or suspected terrorist identities.4 [note 4 4 This number does not represent the number of individuals on the watchlist. One individual can have numerous records with each record providing information for a different identity the individual uses, such as aliases. The consolidated terrorist watchlist averages just over two records per individual watchlisted. The TSC estimated that, as of September 9, 2008, the total number of unique individuals on the watchlist was approximately 400,000. ]

I point out the fact that (note 4) reduces the 1.1 million number down to 400,000 because the ACLU has sensationalized the number as being a million. By doing so, I believe the ACLU loses credibility with the public and courts. The ACLU does some could work but needs to ensure their reporting is free of propaganda. Four hundred thousand people on

36

a government watch list is way too many. Four hundred in my book is way too many. In the summary of findings, the May 2009 report states the following:
Finally, in February 2008, in response to our data request, we were provided a list of all terrorist identities sourced to the FBI in the consolidated terrorist watchlist. This list contained a total of 68,669 known or suspected terrorist identities. In analyzing this list, we found that 35 percent of these identities were associated with FBI cases that did not contain current international terrorism or domestic terrorism designations. Rather, many of these watchlisted records were associated with outdated terrorism case classifications or case classifications unrelated to terrorism and had been nominated by various FBI field offices and headquarters units. Our review of a sample of these nominations revealed that many of the records were for individuals who had originally been appropriately watchlisted but should have been removed from the watchlist after the case had been closed. In one instance, we identified a former subject who remained watchlisted for nearly 5 years after the case had been closed. [http://www.justice.gov/oig/reports/FBI/a0925/final.pdf]

Welcome to the homeland America! Other information in the final section of the book includes a CIA assessment of Yemen and what were once considered to be classified State Department cables that offer some insight on the newly declared battleground nation of Yemen which has been chosen to host President Obamas ever expanding War on Terror. The State Department documents are the cables that Julian Assange and The New York Times along with other major news organizations de facto declassified by virtue of making them available to the general public and openly discussing them in the press. I In closing out this preface, I must make clear that the opinions stated in this book are mine alone. I have compiled the views and statements of dozens of individuals to include government officials, writers, and witnesses to historical events. The inclusion of this information in no way implies that these individuals either share or endorse my views on the issues discussed in this book I have attempted to draw from a broad and diverse set of resources in hopes of introducing to the reader information that he may not be aware of or not have the time to research for himself. The fact is that the mainstream media in the United States is so heavily censored and biased that American news consumers are fed up and in my view seeking more honest sources of news. This is the primary reason major newspapers around the nation are going belly upfed up Americans no longer trust

37

what is printed in those papers, and therefore are increasingly turning to blogs, local websites, and social networks to get their news. By the simple act of omitting important international news, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, HLN, and others, attempt to keep the American public ignorant to world affairs. Most Americans have no idea that deadly riots have broken out on the streets of Greece or that gangsters are now running the country, or that there have been major street protests in Tel Aviv, where people have grown tired of Netanyahus bluster. This is the kind of information that one will find in the pages of this book. So grab a cocktail, a whiskey, a cup of coffee, or an iced tea, and sit back and enjoy the book. Its Ok to curse every now and then. Only you and G-d will know.

Benjamin Netanyahus BIG FAT CANARD

Abe Foxman, National Director for the ADL and protector of all things Zionist, loves the word canard. He often perseverates on the word as if it gives him some extraordinary sense of self-satisfaction or fulfillmentperhaps in the same way a milkshake gives a diabetic a sugar high. Abe uses the word over and over again, especially on national TV. Some say he learned the word back at the Yeshiva of Flatbush where as a child he also learned that a yarmulke is not a beard, and that Jews are far superior to their counterparts. Abe mostly uses the word canard when he wishes to cover-up unpalatable realities about Israel, Zionists, or Jews. From Merriam Websters online dictionary we find the following definition for the word:
Definition of CANARD 1 a: a false or unfounded report or story; especially : a fabricated report b: a groundless rumor or belief

Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed over and over again that the leaders of Iran call for a new holocaust and vow to wipe Israel off the map. Recently, Dan Meridor, Deputy Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Intelligence admitted on the record in an interview on AlJazeera that President Ahmadinejad of Iran never really said this. Here are the sources that collaborate Netanyahus BIG LIE:
Aljazeera, April 16, 2012, Dan Meridor: We misquoted Ahmadinejad[http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/talktojazeera/20 12/04/2012413151613293582.html] FAIR Blog: Fair and Accuracy in Reporting: April 19, 2012 Now They Tell Us: Iran Didn't Actually Threaten to Wipe Israel Off the Map [http://www.fair.org/blog/2012/04/19/now-they-tell-us-iran-didntactually-threaten-to-wipe-israel-off-the-map/]

And Holy of Holies, the New York Times, finally admits to Israel and Benjamin Netanyahus Canard! I wonder why they didnt print it on the Front Page?

The War Crimes of Benjamin Netanyahu

The silence of the U.S. media during the bombardment of Gaza by the Israeli Defence Forces in 2008 is unforgiveable. As the IDF pounded Gaza with phosphorus munitions, innocent women and children were disfigured and killed indiscriminately and consequently died horrific and painful deaths. The cowardly yellow journalists sitting at the CBS NBC, CNN, CNBC, HLN, and FOX News desks bear their fare share ofl responsibility in the cover-up of these crimes. The death toll for the Palestinians is estimated to be between 1200 to 1400 souls. The Zionists now running Wikipedia claim only a hundred or so died. As mentioned elsewhere in this book, Wikipedia data related to Israel and the IsraeliPalestinian conflict cannot be trusted. It is skewed with extreme bias to favor Israel. Wikipedia claims to fight such bias, but I find little evidence of this. I also find it quite peculiar as to how the eyes of the International Court of the Hague seem mysteriously diverted when it comes to war crimes committed by the United States of America and its client states. Of course, since the U.S. does not recognize the court, I suppose being the worlds largest bully state has its advantages when it comes to the perceived need to run cover for the illegal actions of its surrogate state, Israel. As a United States citizen, let me state clearly that I object to my tax dollars being forked over to the Apartheid Sate of Israel in order for Benjamin Netanyahu and his water well and olive tree stealing band of racist thugs to in turn purchase illegal weapons of war with to conduct illegal wars that kill innocent men, women, and children. In my book, Benjamin Netanyahu is a Racist War Criminal. This truth is quite undeniable no matter how much effort the U.S. news media expends to cover this fact up. I personally believe Netanyahu has gone over the edgethat he is a modern day madman and I believe if he were not occasionally restrained by the United States that he would butcher anyone in the Middle East that does not have a Star of David tattooed on his forehead. On September 4th, 2012 I watched John Hofmeister, the ex-CEO of Shell Oil Company go on CNBC in an afternoon interview with Maria Bartiromo and make a personal war-mongering speech on behalf of Israel. Hofmeister runs Citizens for Affordable Energy.org, yet he has

40

agreed to be a propaganda tool for Israel and Netanyahus maniacal bid to bomb Iran come hell or high water. Hofmeister knows full well what such an action will do to the price of oil should Bibi pull the trigger. He readily admitted that the price of oil would soar to $150-$200 per barrel. Hofmeister is apparently just another racist Jew who does his part for the cause and attempts to use his influence to convince the rest of the world to join in the State of Israels unquenchable thirst for the blood of Arabs. CNBC is now allowing an assortment of Jewish businessmen who are staunch Israel supporters to come on the show on a regular basis to do a bit of fear mongering about how Iran is gonna obliterate Israel. This same type of rhetoric is now being taken up as some sort of oath within the ranks of the ignoramuses running the GOP as was recently demonstrated at the Republican National Convention when delegates were asked to show their hands as a signal they support Israel as if it is some messianic state and to agree that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Woe be unto Israel, the Second Holocaust is coming! Right Bibi? WHAT A BUNCH OF TRIPE? More like the state of the Big Con! I grew up in a Southern family. We were taught to live by a code of chivalry, to be honorable men. What our foreign policy makers and some businessmen now support and advocate for our nation is not based on the reflection of honorable men. Indiscriminate murder is not chivalrous. I have been in direct contact with citizens involved in the conflicts written about in this book and am grateful for their kind responses and willingness to share with me information that the main stream media refuses to publish. The following photos were shared with me by an incredible individual by the name of Eva Bartlett who runs the website [http://ingaza.wordpress.com] which shares the daily struggles of the Palestinian people as they continue to be dispossessed of their farms, homes, orchards, and water wells. The photos shown below are not included for sensationalist effect. They are being shown to let my fellow U.S. citizens see the horrific impact our foreign policy is having on innocent women and children in the Middle East. These photos break my heart.

Netanyahus Missile
Late last year a member of the international press corps asked a question that shocked world leaders and rattled the very foundations of freedom in the Middle East. At a New York City press conference a reporter brought up a disturbing claim that had been circulating throughout the world-wide intelligence communitya claim that Israel had recently developed the worlds first nuclear weapon of mass destruction using nanotechnology, a missile that was small, compact, and so powerful that it had the potential of altering the balance of power not only in the Middle East, but the world at large. Up until this press conference the missile had not been photographed. Its size had been questioned and some in the scientific community doubted its existence. The photos on the following page are from that press conference. The weapon was dubbed Netanyahus Missile.

Dear Jack, Here is my 2012 Message.

From Hiroshima to Fukushima, My Hiroshima message in 2012 is: Only after Hiroshima, Fukushima, Japan and the rest of the world are wild awake, and acting very decisively against the danger of atomic weapons, and now also ending nuclear energy. It was not enough for Japan and Germany to see the disaster of Hiroshima; they needed also to see the catastrophe of Fukushima accident. The Hiroshima tragedy was a catastrophe which brought to the world the birth of atomic weapons. This nuclear test on human beings and a city of civilians did not teach the world to stop all the nuclear production. Rather the opposite: the super powers and other small states like Israel moved to produce and engaged in NWs production, proliferation. At the same time, this Hiroshima catastrophe was a big obstacle to any use of any atomic bombs, during all the cold war. Hiroshima photos of all the victims were in the mind and that kept all the world wide awake during all the cold war, to prevent any use of nuclear weapons again. And it has never been used again. The end of the cold war set all the world free from the fear of nuclear war. But the world is still in danger of some small states, like here in the Middle East who can use the Bombs. Also, the world has still many nuclear bombs, and we want all the world free from any nuclear bombs. States like Japan, Germany, Canada, France and others did not realize the danger of nuclear activities, and moved in full speed to build many nuclear reactors for energy. The Chernobyl accident was not enough to wake up all the world to end nuclear energy. So the world needed a new catastrophe in Japan to wake up all the Japanese people and the rest of the worldfrom the dangers of nuclear accident and the danger of all the materials that had been produced from the use of nuclear energy. The catastrophe of Fukushima sent the world to demand freedom also from any use of nuclear energy. So my 2012 Hiroshima, Fukushima Message is: End all nuclear weapons in the world including the Middle East, also in Israel. What Israel wants for itself all the M E. wants. End Nuclear weapons everywhere including in Israel (Dimona) or all the M E. will have Nuclear weapons exactly like in Dimona. The second message of Fukushima from Japan is that a highly developed Industrial state like Japan can work and produce without any Nuclear Energy. All the world can be free from Nuclear weapons, and also from Nuclear Energy. 100 years ago the world was hungry for new Energy, and was running very fast to adopt all kinds of nuclear energy. Now after 100 years the world has had enough from nuclear energy, and the world learned to work and survive without any use of nuclear energy. So 2012 from Japan to all the world, End Nuclear Energy, and all the Atomic Bombs. Freedom to every one, freedom Now,!!!!!!. Mordechai Vanunu

Israel Sells U.S. Weapons Technology to the Chinese From a recently declassified 20 July 1974 diplomatic cable from the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv we learn that Israel would not be in existence if it were not for the billions of dollars in aid money that U.S. taxpayers generously give it each and every year.
4. PERES CONTINUED THAT ISRAEL HAS RECOGNIZED THAT IT HAS NO CLAIMS ON THE UNITED STATES; IT HAS, RATHER, JUST GRATITUDE TOWARD US FOR OUR UNFLICHING SUPPORT. PERES POINTED OUT THAT ISRAEL IS WELL AWARE THAT EVEN ITS BEST FRIENDS IN CONGRESS GET A COLD CHILL WHEN GOI CITES THE AMOUNTS OF ASSISTANCE THAT ISRAEL NEEDS FROM THE UNITED STATES IN THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS ($1.5 BILLION GRANT PER YEAR). UNFORTUNATELY, HE CONTINUED, ISRAEL NEEDS THIS TO SURVIVE. PERES NOTED THAT THE VISIT OF SECRETARY SIMON WAS MOST IMPORTANT FOR ISRAEL AT THE TIME IN ORDER TO GIVE THE ISRAELI LEADERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN IN DETAIL THEIR PROBLEMS AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS. [http://aad.archives.gov/aad/createpdf?rid=101032&dt=2474&dl=1345]

Notice in the cable that Israel expresses its gratitude. But that was then and now is now. It is now known for a fact that some of this money the United States gave to Israel was diverted into their Weapons of Mass Destruction program, as they had been building atomic bombs during this time period, while lying to the United States and claiming their nuclear program was for peaceful purposes only. Over time, Israel has become arrogant and much too cavalier about its relationship with the United States and the billions of welfare dollars they are sucking out of the American taxpayer. According to an article written by Sudha Ramachandran that appeared in the Asia Times on December 21st, 2004, from 1980 to 1992 prior to Israel establishing formal diplomatic relations with China, it covertly sold China over $4 billion dollars worth of weapons. After 1992 with formal diplomatic ties established, weapons sales have accelerated. Included in these sales was the Patriot Missile technology that the U.S. gave to Israel to protect Israel from Iraqi Scud missiles. Talk about a slap in the face. And in 2000, the U.S. Congress had to threaten Israel that it might not get its U.S. Taxpayer funded welfare gravy if it went through with the sale of an advanced Israeli-made airborne radar system known as Phalcon. According to Ramachandran:
Washington has also alleged on several occasions that Israel violated agreements by exporting restricted US technology it buys with yearly US subsidies. This was the case with the largely US-funded Lavi fighter-plane program. Israel, the Americans believe, passed on technology to Beijing. China's F-10 fighter jet is believed to be almost identical to the Lavi.

57

The Israel-China military relationship also contributed to China softening its anti-Israel stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. China's policy moved from its pro-Arab tilt to a more nuanced appreciation of the Israeli position. (Chinese criticism of Israel increased markedly after the cancellation of the Phalcon deal.)

The declassified diplomatic cable shown on the next two pages cites the names of the Israeli spies that were involved in the sale of the Patriot Missile system to China. Notice that in the cable, the words alleged are used. This is a clear indication that members of the U.S. Department of State are now afraid to point a clear finger at Israels misdeeds. This represents a serious breach of duty on the part of U.S. State Department personnel and represents a serious threat to our government. It is also a clear indication that Israel, through AIPAC has way too much sway with the U.S. Department of State and our government in general.

Or

Real History U.S. Public School Teachers Arent Allowed to Teach in School In 1951 Iran was a fully functioning DEMOCRACY with a Prime Minister (Mohammed Mossadegh) as head of state and a western styled Parliament. Iran and the United States were on friendly terms. Prime Minister Mossadegh and President Harry S. Truman were friends. In his first term as president Truman under lobbying pressure from Zionists recognized the State of Israel against the advice of nearly every politician that had a lick of common sense. According to Wikipedias write-up of the event:
Truman made the decision to recognize the establishment of the State of Israel over the objections of Secretary of State George Marshall, who feared it would hurt relations with the Arab states. At a meeting in the White House on November 10, 1945, he told envoys to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt: "I am sorry, gentlemen, but I have to answer to hundreds of thousands who are anxious for the success of Zionism: I do not have hundreds of thousands of Arabs among my constituents. Rejecting Arab, British, and U.S. State Department warnings that Jewish immigration to Palestine and a Jewish state would destabilize the Middle East, Truman and Congress continued to support the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people. American policy makers in 194748 agreed that the highest foreign policy objective was containment of Soviet expansion as the Cold War unfolded. From Washington's perspective, Palestine was secondary to the goal of protecting the "Northern Tier" of Greece, Turkey, and Iran from Communism, as promised by the Truman Doctrine. Truman set three goals for the region: a peaceful solution, unwillingness to send US troops, and the need to prevent Soviet penetration. [Editorial commentary directed towards Wikipedia: That last thar sentence is called a fragment boysyou wiki-fellers need to clean up your act.] According to George Lenczowski, Truman's policy on Palestine was influenced by Jewish lobbyists. In his memoirs, Truman wrote that top Jewish leaders in the United States put pressure on him to promote Jewish aspirations in Palestine. At the urging of the British, a special UN committee, UNSCOP, recommended the immediate partitioning of Palestine into two states. With Truman's support, the plan was approved by the General Assembly on November 29, 1947. Secretary of State George Marshall and foreign affairs experts continued to oppose the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. When Truman agreed to meet with Chaim Weizmann, the Secretary of State objected but did not publicly dispute his decision. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal

67

warned about the perils of arousing Arab hostility, which might result in denial of access to petroleum resources in the area, and about "the impact of this question on the security of the United States. Truman recognized the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, eleven minutes after it declared itself a nation.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_S._Truman#cite_note-106]

[Editorial Commentary: If only Truman had listened to his advisors, perhaps the world would be a better place today. Certainly the Middle East would be much better off. What the Jewish editors of Wikipedia fail to mention however is that Truman was blackmailedWITH LETTER BOMBS mailed by the Stern Gang, a depraved band of blood-thirsty murdering rapists and cut-throat terrorists. The Zionists had begun a campaign of terror in the final days leading up to the announcement of their newly formed government. They had grown increasingly frustrated with stalling by the British Mandate Government in their push forward to achieve agreement on the formation of a new state and turned to terrorism to achieve their goals. They blew up the British Mandate Governments headquarters in the King David Hotel in 1945 and then went on a murderous rampage that increased with intensity up until David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of the racist State of Israel on May 14th, 1948. Just a month before the announcement, the Irgun had murdered six British soldiers in cold blood. The Irgun and the Stern Gang, both with growing reputations for sensationalist acts of blatant terrorism, were responsible for hundreds of murders. On a side note, Americans may be interested to know that the father of Rahm Emanuel, Benjamin M. Emanuel, was a member of The Irgun. Rahm Emanuel was President Obamas first Chief of Staff and is now the Mayor of Chicago, a city well known for its storied past of infamous gangsters such as Al Capone. Ironically, some Israeli hard-liners see Emanuel as a sell-out for working with the Obama Administration, and in the Jerusalem Post, he was labeled a traitor to Israel.
[http://www.jpost.com/JewishWorld/JewishNews/Article.aspx?id=175829] [See Part I of this book The Origins of Terrorism.] Should anyone need further proof that Israel has been a state sponsor and promoter of terrorism, they have to look no further than Tel Aviv where there is a museum dedicated to The Irgun]

Not only was our government on friendly terms with the Persian government during Mossadeqs tenure as Prime Minister, we were also fast becoming their strategic ally as Iran feared the Soviet Union and looked to the West for protection. The great commie-craze was in full swing in America. Everywhere one looked a communist could be found. And Senator Joseph McCarthy, Americas most voracious commie hunter, was wielding power in the U.S. Senate like the King of Siam. Although McCarthy made some egregious errors in his communist witch hunt, his overall thesis about the ills of communism has proved to be dead on and documents now coming out of the NSA Venona Project, which was the most sensitive Top Secret intelligence gathering project ever to be developed to uncover the spying activities of the former Soviet

68

Union, have vindicated McCarthy and proved that many of the names on his infamous list were indeed passing information to the commies. And these commies kept infiltrating society, and by the 1960s they were even getting inside Robert Allen Zimmermans head which drove him halfnuts so he changed his name to Bob Dylan and started a singing career in New York City no less. Zimmerman converted to Christianity seeking to distance himself from the trappings of Zionism. However, he did not appreciate being called Born-again by the news-media. But the Zionist newspaper owners were simply doing what they do best, attempting to shame Zimmerman for abandoning his people. They were wrong all along as Zimmerman still occasionally participates in Jewish religious observances. Heres a nice shot of Zimmerman with Joan Baez:

Israel's got the Bomb

In the blockbusting book Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America by John Earl Haynes and Havey Klehr, there is a list of over three hundred names of individuals that worked as spies for the Soviet Union. These names were discovered when a code-breaker by the name of Meredith Gardner, using all available information that been discovered and assembled by others cryptographers at the time, figured out the final pieces to the puzzle of the Soviets messaging system. He was then able to infiltrate the Soviets two top intelligence gathering agencies, the NKVD and the GRU. To make a long story short, the Venona list pretty well

69

matched up with McCarthys list, thus vindicating the spirit of his witch hunt. And I would be willing to bet that the main reason that the New York Times and other newspapers in cahoots with the CIA went after McCarthy with such vigor is that most of the names on the list are Jewish. Of course those in the Jewish propaganda camp will claim that the some of the documents are forgeries, but the real evidence does not support this. Now we know. Facts are facts. In a later chapter in this book, I adequately address the fact that the creators of Communism were also Jewish. This is a simple matter of history. If one is Jewish and believes in Communism, one may be proud of this knowledge; if one is Jewish and distains Communism, one may find this knowledge unsettling. It is all a matter of perspective. But the Jews were in good company, as plenty of Christians signed up for the cause also, but the numbers of Jews involved in communism were much higher. The one thing that this whole episode brings to light is that is that the Jews have been responsible for just as many killings as any other group of people on the planet no matter how much they would like to deny it. And it didnt start with Lenin and Trotsky. Heck, any Christian worth his Bible-thumping can attest to this fact, Catholics in particular have an even better understanding of this fact than do Protestants, for the Catholic Bible, or what is known as the official bible of the Catholic Church, the Douay Bible, contains the books Maccabbees I & II which delineate the lineage of a fierce band of Jewish priests that slaughtered their enemies with great wrath and vengeance in the name of G-d. The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah [Chanukah is the Romanized version of this word] is celebrated in the name of the Maccabbees defeat of the Greeks and the retaking of Jerusalem and the re-sanctifying of the Temple around 165 to 166 BCE depending upon who is writing the history. [The tales begin at I
Maccabbees 4:36 & II Maccabbees 1:18].

[see Catholic Encyclopedia [http://www.newadvent.org/catheno514-1.htm]]

If you have never read Maccabbees I & II, I highly recommend it. It is a great tale of blood and guts spent upon the holy lands. But I dont advise one to study on this history too intently lest one draw the conclusion that Palestine or what is modern day Israel needs to be given back to the Egyptians. Wouldnt that be a hoot? The gate keepers at Wikipedia would have you believe this area always belonged to the socalled twelve tribes of Israel as laid out the Old Testament book of Joshua; Zionist are quite well known for their selected memories this way.

This particular URL links the reader to a government document Appendix A SECRECY - A Brief Account of the American Experience which was prepared for the U.S. Congress. What follows is an exerpt from this report:
However, secrecy can confer a form of power without responsibility, about which democratic societies must be vigilant. A disturbing instance occurred after the discovery, beginning with the Army Security Agencys codebreaking in 1946, of a most considerable Soviet espionage apparat in the United States, including, by all the evidence, senior officials of the United States Government. The person who most needed to know this was the President of the United States. The issue was national security and he was Commander-in-Chief. It would appear, however, that President Truman was not told. In their superb account of these events, VENONA: Soviet Espionage and the American Response, 1939-1957, published by the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency (in connection with a major October 1996 conference on VENONA), Robert Louis Benson and Michael Warner write: Trumans repeated denunciations of the charges against Hiss, White, and othersall of whom appear under covernames in decrypted messages translated before he left office in January 1953suggest that Truman either was never briefed on the Venona program or did not grasp its significance. Although it seems odd that Truman might not have been told, no definitive evidence has emerged to show he was. In

71

any event, Truman always insisted that Republicans had trumped up the loyalty issue and that wartime espionage had been insignificant and well contained by American authorities.21 Benson and Warner continue: The long spate of prosecutions and loyalty hearings coincided with, and helped heighten, the atmosphere of suspicion and accusations now known as McCarthyism. Republicans in Congress were echoing widespread sentiment when they criticized the Truman administration for its failure to prevent Communism from conquering Eastern Europe and China. Softness on Communism abroad was portrayed by Republicans as the corollary of laxness at home. Suspicions that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations had neglected internal security fed charges of a Democratic-led coverup of the wartime Amerasia affair, as well as Eisenhower administration Attorney General Herbert Brownells 1953 accusation that then President Truman had ignored FBI warnings about Harry Dexter White in 1946. Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy and allies exploited this confusion and rancor, blaming Communists in the State Department for losing China and accusing Federal workers of disloyalty on flimsy pretexts. The tacit decision to keep the translated messages secret carried a political and social price for the country. Debates over the extent of Soviet espionage in the United States were polarized in the dearth of reliable information then in the public domain. Anti-Communists suspected that some spiesperhaps including a few who were known to the US Governmentremained at large. Those who criticized the governments loyalty campaign as an over-reaction, on the other hand, wondered if some defendants were being scapegoated; they seemed to sense that the public was not being told the whole truth about the investigations of such suspects as Julius Rosenberg and Judith Coplon. Given the dangerous international situation and what was known by the government at that time, however, continued secrecy was not illogical. With the Korean war raging and the prospect of war with the Soviet Union a real possibility, military and intelligence leaders almost certainly believed that any cryptologic edge that America gained over the Soviets was too valuable to concedeeven if it was already known to Moscow.

The decision to share or to withhold information could becan behighly personal and political, or purely professional. The Central Intelligence Agency was not informed about VENONA until 1952. The KGB cables indicated that the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in World War II had been thoroughly infiltrated with Soviet agents. As the CIA was widely regarded as the successor to the OSS, the Army and the FBI were appropriately cautious in sharing their secrets. That is a problem not to be avoided. But when secret information is withheld for personal or political reasons, the democracy can be put at risk.

But lets move forward with the task at handso lets return to the question of how Iran as became our Enemy. On October 20th, 1947 CIA analysis of the current situation in Iran stated the following:

72

The current political situation in Iran contains many factors of weakness. While technically a constitutional monarchy, Iran is an oligarchy. Control of Parliament and predominant influence in the affairs of the country are in the hands of wealthy landowners and merchants, army generals, and tribal leaders. Within the governmental framework, the two most important political figures are the Shah and the Prime Minister. The great mass of the people is largely illiterate and politically impotent.
[http://www.foia.cia.gov/docs/DOC_0000256620/DOC_0000256620.pdf]

If one were to substitute a few wordssay high school dropouts for illiterate and church leaders for tribal leaders this assessment could be describing the United States in present day, just a thought. The report goes on to state:
The ruling groups are united in their fear of Soviet ambitions, and with the decline of British power in the Middle East, they are turning more and more to the US and the UN for support, a policy which is consistent with the basic anti-Soviet, anti-Communist, and pro-US attitude of the majority of the people. However, the continued failure of the government to rectify critical internal conditions is seriously jeopardizing Iranian stability. Widespread corruption practiced by civil and military officials and their discriminatory policies against tribal groups are alienating major population elements whose support is essential to successful resistance to Soviet demands. Throughout the country, the authorities' continued failure to give effective execution to long-standing promises of economic and social reforms lends encouragement to leftist elements and other dissident groups. Moreover, despite the determination of all major political factions to resist Soviet encroachment, internal political conflicts and the personal ambitions of Iranian politicians may prevent Iran from implementing any effective plans for resistance. The support of the Western Powers and of the UN against Soviet action prejudicial to Iranian independence will have no lasting effect unless the Iranian Government makes strenuous efforts to bolster its internal stability by: (a) resolving the personal conflicts among the Shah, the Prime Minister, and the Chief of Staff; (b) endeavoring to obtain the loyalty and cooperation of tribal and other population elements; and (c) initiating and executing long-overdue economic and social reforms. Without these reforms and with a continuation of the present Iranian technique of solving international problems by procrastination and by reliance upon the support of other powers, Iran may ultimately be absorbed into the Soviet sphere of influence.

Keep in mind that this was written in 1947 and the state of Israel had yet to be officially formed. There is no mention of Iran having any difficulty with its neighbors other than their fear of the Soviets. Under the

73

topical subtitle of foreign affairs, the following was stated regarding Britains relations with Iran:
Traditionally, Iran has considered, the British as a counterbalance to Russian ambitions. Now, however, motivated by domestic political considerations, by their declining position in the Middle East, and by the desire to protect their own oil concession in southern Iran, the British have not been willing to give unequivocal support to Iran's resistance to Soviet demands for access to northern oil resources. The Iranians are therefore counting more and more on the US and the UN to support them in resisting Soviet encroachment. The Iranians hope further that the US will serve as a moderating influence on traditional Anglo-Russian rivalry and will also act as a guarantee against any possible Anglo-Soviet agreement for the partition of Iran into spheres of influence.

From these three paragraphs we find all the necessary information from which to learn a great deal about how the government of the United States of America acted upon the intelligence it received. Lets break down the intelligence into its three basic conclusions: Iran wants to be our friend Britain wants to protect its oil Iran needs some help sorting out how to run a newly formed Democracy I bet you a million bucks the State Department wishes today that Afghanistan and Pakistan were as far along in their so-called democratic statehood formations as was Iran in 1947. What an opportunity we had it could have been so easy and so different. Here is what we should have done: Convinced the British not to be so damned greedy and eventually turn the oil fields back over to Iran through a planned and peaceful hand-over Established highly public diplomatic relations with Iran Given all the aid necessary to help them sort out their governance issues

But what did we do instead upon Irans nationalization of the Abadan oil refinery and other assets of the British owned Anglo-Iranian oil company: Backed Britain in its greed

Used our knowledge of the Iranian governments internal bickering as a basis for the propaganda phase and operational starting point to pursue a Coup dtat in order to install a puppet government Effectively destroyed a fledgling democracy

Back in 1933, Britain had been granted an oil concession. In 1951, Premier Mossadeq and the Iranian Parliament nationalized the nations oil believing the 1933 agreement with Britain was immoral and the natural resources of a nation belong to a nation. According to former Ambassador to Iran, John Limbert, in his book Negotiating with Iran: Wrestling the Ghosts of History, it is noted that the original revenuesharing agreement with Britain was signed during a world-wide depression, when low world oil prices, depressed demand and general economic difficulties put strong pressures on the Iranians to settle for less than they could have gained a few years earlier.
[Editorial Commentary: John Limbert is a Harvard graduate with a Ph.D. in History and Middle Eastern Studies. His parents worked for the U.S. Information Agency in Iran in 1962. Limbert worked in Iran with the Peace Corps from 1964 to 1966, and returned to become an English instructor at Pahlavi university from 1969-1972. Fluent in Persian, he joined the U.S. diplomatic corps in 1973. Limbert was one of the 1976 Embassy takeover hostages. Limbert also served as the Deputy Coordinator for Counterterrorism with the U.S. Department of State in 2000. He was appointed to be the first U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Iran in late 2009. He resigned after a year and a half on the job, apparently out of frustration with the Obama Administrations foot-dragging on making diplomatic inroads with Iran. There is most likely more to this story that we learn down the road with future releases of State Department Documents. ]

Thus in 1948, the Iranians pressed for a better agreement demanding a larger share of the pie and the right to look at AIOCs books in order to ensure they were indeed receiving what was due them. A new agreement was eventually reached in July of 1949 which increased Irans royalty from 22 to 33 cents per barrel. Limbert states the following:
Most basic to the dispute was the Iranians view, right or wrong, that the British looked down on them as a people. Noting the all-important human and psychological side of the crisis, the historian William Roget Louis writes: The Iranians knew that the British regarded them as inefficient if not incompetenteven more, that the British thought of them as inferior human beings. This was a psychological reality that bore as much on

75

the actual negotiations as the abstract debate about the validity of the 1933 agreement and the practical amount of compensation to be paid to the company.

And by golly, this is the way most Americans would feel. Aint it? We certainly would not turn over our oil fields to a foreign power, would we? Who knowswe might, if Ben Bernanke and his band of merry counterfeiters keeps printing dollars and the Congress continues their reckless path of spending more money than we the people kick into the federal coffers in the way of taxes. The point is, we admonish Iran for thinking in the best interest of Iran, and I say every nation has that right. What say ye good American men of integrity and honesty? Be ye bigoted racists or honorable men? The eventual nationalization of the oil assets of course did not sit well with the British because they considered their Iranian oilfield their largest monetized asset within the ever shrinking British Empire. Therefore, immediately after the nationalization was announced, they fomented a Red Commie Scare claiming that Iran would sell the oil to the Soviets and cause a shift in the balance of power in the Cold War. This was designed to suck in their American allies and it worked quite well. This was all the good ole boys over at the CIA needed to hear and before you could say mount that camel, a Coup dtat was cooked up with the British and a more favorable puppet leader was installed. The Red Commie Scare was pure unadulterated balderdash. There is video footage from the 1950s now available on YouTube that lays that myth to rest.
Here is the description that accompanies the YouTube footage: [LONGINES CHRONOSCOPE WITH CHARLES L. HARDING National Archives and Records Administration 1951-09-28 ARC Identifier 95702 / Local Identifier LW-LW-12 TELEVISION INTERVIEW: L.A. Brophy and William Bradford Huie talk with Mr. Harding, Coordinator, Middle East Operations and Member of the Board of Directors, Socony-Vacuum and Arabian Oil Company, on Iranian crisis in the oil fields, effect upon the economy of the European nations and the U.S., Korean Conflict, and U.S. relations with other Middle Eastern countries. DVD copied by IASL Master Scanner Katie Filbert.]

In this video, Mr. Harding, who was an oil executive, very plainly states that the Soviets would not be able to access the oil and that the disruption of the Iranian supply would not affect U.S. consumption or affect the logistics of supplying our U.S. troops the oil they needed on the

76

Korean Peninsula as the U.S. was embroiled in the Korean Conflict at the time. Prior to implementation of the Coup dtat, the British sent a fleet of warships to the Gulf and implemented a blockade. They also convinced the rest of the world to boycott Iranian oil. In preparation for regime change, the CIA sent in the bagmen with carpetbags full of dollars to bribe anyone willing to participate in the pre-Coup propaganda scheme, to include politician, steroid-pumped gangsters, military officers, and clerics. According to Wikipedia, as a result of the crisis, Great Britain, the United States and Saudi Arabia effectively stole the profits that rightfully belonged to the Iranian people:
As a result of the crisis, Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh [note spelling of this name varies with source] was ousted from power. During the coup, codenamed Operation Ajax, the CIA and the MI6 restored Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to power. In August 1954, the company was set under the control of an international consortium. Initially, ownership shares in the Consortium proposed to be divided along the following lines: 40% to be divided equally (8% each) among the five major American companies; British Petroleum to have a 40% share; Royal Dutch/Shell to have 14%; and CFP, a French Company, to receive 6%. Iran got now 25% of the profits compared to 20% of the original treaty with the AIOC. Saudi-Arabia and other oil-exploiting countries of the region received up to 50% of the profits in cooperation with American oil companies at the same time.

CIA Propaganda Logistics From USIA to State Department backed NGOs The CIAs propaganda logistics modus operandi is quite well known throughout the world, mostly due to the high volume of regime change operations that have already been conducted over the past sixty years or so. What has not been learned by foreign powers from experience on the ground is now readily available in tell-all books written by those involved in the actions, through hundreds of media-leaks, and for the past fifteen years or so, internet publications. CIA tradecraft as a state secret is practically non-existent today other than what is currently being accomplished within the realm of cyber-warfare, and to some degree not even this information is safe from enemy hands. During the 1950s through the end of the 1990s, nearly every college student in every third world nation that had been a target of our CIA sponsored Coup dtats knew exactly where the CIAs operations were headquartered and more specifically where the U.S. Information Agency offices and other assets were located. As a testament to this fact, these buildings were always the first to be on the receiving end of Molotov cocktails when the action got under way. The propaganda concept is not rocket science and the operations are usually easy to detect. Information always precedes gunplay in a regime change operation. The first step is to open up or construct the appropriate facilities and staff them in accordance with the depth and breadth of the plan if existing facilities cannot be purchased and local personnel cannot be persuaded to join the team with cash payment for services rendered. This is easier accomplished if the family of the dictator we are about to install has friends and influence over local businesses and thugs willing to lend a helping hand. However this method has its limitations due to embedded philosophical differences and un-American thoughts that tend to resurface after the cash runs out. Thus, cash payments for loyalty, much like any other economic value proposition, offer limited and diminishing rates of return over time, and even more so if we happen to wear out our welcome in the host country due to unintended misfortunessay a stray missile exploding here or there. I assert that the United States government has never quite caught on to this concept, for if it did, we would not continue repeating the stupidity of Vietnam over and over and over again. Of course Bell Helicopter and other manufacturers that are members of the militaryindustrial complex that have lined their pockets with war profits through the years would disagree with me and perhaps pull out their Bibles and

83

other propaganda in order to preach the evils of the spread of Communism, and the evils of folks that were not lucky enough to have been born in post World War II America in the Baby Boomer Generation. Perhaps our government is simply being run by a cruel bunch of SOBs that have no care or concern for the loss of life and limb and have not the guts to fight their own battles. If politicians were forced to personally take up arms and settle their affairs upon the battlefield amongst themselves, I predict the military-industrial complex would collapse faster than one could exclaimhey, whos that one-legged yellow bellied sap-sucking politician over there that just stepped on a landmine? But as we all well know, those brave men up in Washington and the ones that hide out in State legislatures around the nationyou know the onesthe ones that are quick to send our young men and women off to war to fight the battles for them under the false banner of Patriotism, and proclaim on the national news media and at memorial services just how proud and thankful they are for our warriors services, are much too yellow for that. They are thankful alright; thankful they are not the ones doing the dirty work. What Im dying to see is our U.S. Senators and House of Representative members take up arms and march into Iran, Iraq, and North Korea and call out their counterpartsthe ones who are running the axis of evil. I have a feeling the North Koreans would kick the living daylights out of the likes of Old Gummer Barney Frank, Joseph Lets protect the Zionist Homeland Lieberman, Big Budget Eric Cantor and Meek as a Mouse Mitch McConnell before they could holler out Call in the extraction team! Heck, we could then fly in the Wall Street Bankers and the Federal Reserve Money Manipulators to rescue them if things got too hot on the ground. At least they could all proclaim upon returning home to have served in the military which would go a long way to clearing up the gaping holes in a few Congressional resumes. OK, I stand corrected; McConnell did manage to do a grueling six months in the National Guard. But wed have to keep a close eye on Senator Lieberman, because the minute we turned our back on him, hed sure enough be looking for a deferment of some sort. Back in the good old days during the 1950s through the 1990s, when we were dealing with Banana Republics and other third world nations, the logistics of establishing the propaganda arm of a regime change operation were fairly easy to accomplish and quite straight forward: Open a few radio stations Open a TV station or two if possible

84

Open a book printing operation Open up some libraries and bring in state sponsored exhibits

A team of blue-blooded operatives with Top Secret security clearances, men such as Kermit Kim Roosevelt, Jr., would be brought in country to manage the operation. In the case an operation required that we open a full-fledged book publishing company; the newly established corporation would engage in legitimate enterprise within the context of the local publishing industry as its cover. Of course important subversive messaging could then be embedded into school book print runs, university reading materials, and pamphlets. Magazines could be printed and banners made for demonstrations. TV and radio station operations might have to be run from a friendly neighboring country situated on a border where the power could be amped up so the message could come across the airways loud and clear. Hijacking the other guys signal was no big deal and in the heat of the revolution this would be fully exploited. Over the years, the sophistication of our service delivery has broadly increased as the push for aggressively developing global markets has increased. Today, our government is no longer alone in attempting to dominate the hearts and minds of the worlds citizenry. We have plenty of competition and much of that is now coming from the Chinese. In the case of one well-known propaganda operation that our government currently has running against the Cuban Castro regime, and being managed out of Miami, Florida called Radio and TV Marti, the TV message is broadcast via satellite and or pre-recorded on pen drives and shipped in bulk lots inside of shipping containers. A high-flying aircraft with and onboard signal generator is also employed to beam down the message. This operation has cost a few good journalists their jobs after it was discovered they were taking payola from the U.S. government. In a Sept. 27, 2006 article written by Elena Shore that appeared on New American Media.com entitled Double Standard for Hispanic Media? Miami Scandal put Journalists Under Fire it was noted that:
On Sept. 7, three journalists were fired from El Nuevo Herald for receiving payments from the U.S. government to appear on Radio and TV Marti, the U.S.sponsored anti-Castro broadcast to Cuba. A Sept. 8 article in The Miami Herald revealed that at least 10 journalists from Hispanic media outlets in South Florida, including three from El Nuevo Herald, have been regularly paid to participate in programs on Radio and TV Mart, the U.S.-government sponsored broadcast to Cuba. The article compared the

85

journalists to Armstrong Williams, the talk-show host who received $240,000 to promote President Bush's No Child Left Behind education program in 2004. Since 2001, El Nuevo Herald staff reporter Pablo Alfonso, who wrote an opinion column and covered Cuba, was paid almost $175,000 to host programs on Radio and TV Mart. During the same time period, staff writer Wilfredo Cancio, who covered the Cuban exile community and politics, received almost $15,000; Olga Connor, a freelance reporter who wrote about Cuban culture, was paid about $71,000. Both Alfonso and Cancio were dismissed, and Connor's relationship with The Miami Herald was terminated.

Todays operations of course include internet messaging and Facebook operations. Yep, you can bet your bottom dollar that old Zuckerberg over at Facebook loves his new role as the CIAs go to guy for disinformation campaigns, and covert intelligence gathering. Over the last couple of years leaders of major world powers have made the trip to Facebook Corporations front door in order to court Zuckerberg and discuss the New World Order. This adds a whole new dimension to the idea our Baby Boomer parents taught us that we must indeed be careful whom we choose as friends. President Eisenhower kicked off the first USIA operation during the overthrow of the Mossadeq regime. Eisenhower thought propaganda should remain a state secret to be effective; therefore an agency with controllable employees was needed. Today we just throw billions of dollars at hundreds of NGOs and hope something along the lines of usable democracy sticks. Of course there are a few CIA implants in the bunch. That may sound facetious, but it is more or less what is going on. The U.S. Information Agency was the operational branch for clandestine media operations from 1953, the same year of the Iranian Coup dtat up until October 1st, 1999 when its activities were transferred over to the United States Department of State. Now think about that for secondour diplomatic corps is now engaging in full blown subversive activities at various levels. I think this says something about us as a nation, and I dont think what it says is necessarily a good thing. If diplomacy is fully equated with a war footing, then the message we project around the world from our State Department is not one of diplomacy. This gives us a better understanding of why our government is so upset with Julian Assange and Wikileaks; many of the so-called diplomatic cables he exposed deal with subversion and overt aggression and assassinations, not diplomacy.

The following information is taken from the USIAs factsheet: The UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY (USIA) is an independent foreign affairs agency within the executive branch of the U.S. government. USIA explains and supports American foreign policy and promotes U.S. national interests through a wide range of overseas information programs. The agency promotes mutual understanding between the United States and other nations by conducting educational and cultural activities. USIA maintains 190 posts in 142 countries. Overseas, USIA is known as USIS, the U.S. Information Service. Pursuant to the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, USIA will be integrated into the Department of State on October 1, 1999. Penn Kemble is Acting Director. BUDGET - The Commerce/State/Justice Congressional subcommittee appropriation covering USIA's budget provides $1.109 billion for USIA in fiscal year (FY) 1999. PEOPLE - After implementing reductions in 1997, USIA has 6,352 employees, of whom 904 are Foreign Service personnel and 2,521 are locally hired Foreign Service nationals overseas. There are 2,927 Civil Service employees based in the United States, of whom 1,822 work in international broadcasting and 1,105 are engaged in USIA's educational and informational programs. USIA'S WORK ABROAD - The overseas operations of USIA are mainly carried out by its 520 Foreign Service officers who are assigned to American missions abroad. With guidance, support and material from Washington headquarters, they manage educational, cultural, and information programs in support of American foreign policy objectives and greater mutual understanding between the U.S. and foreign societies. [Editorial Commentary: Mutual understanding often means see things our way or take the highway. There are a half a dozen or so deposed Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Dictators around the world that can attest to this fact.] EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE ACTIVITIES - USIA operates the U.S. government's programs of educational and cultural exchange. The best known of these is the Fulbright exchange program, which operates in over 125 countries. Additionally, each year over 2,400 foreign leaders and professionals come to the United States at USIA's invitation as International Visitors, and

87

some 1,800-2,000 voluntary visitors come under private auspices for up to 30 days of professional appointments arranged by USIA. Many partners cooperate in USIA exchange activities: the academic community, U.S. private organizations, foreign governments and American volunteers. BROADCASTING - The International Broadcasting Act of 1994 established a Broadcasting Board of Governors to oversee USIA's Voice of America (VOA), Radio and TV Mart, and WORLDNET Television, as well as two surrogate international broadcast services -- Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the new Radio Free Asia. Unlike USIA's other federally funded broadcast services, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a non-profit private corporation, and Radio Free Asia receive funding through grants from the USIA's Broadcasting Board of Governors. VOA broadcasts 660 hours of programming weekly in 53 languages, including English, to an international audience. Radio Mart, established in 1985, broadcasts 24 hours a day in Spanish to Cuba. TV Mart telecasts 4-1/2 hours daily. Programming consists of news, information, and entertainment from a variety of sources. WORLDNET, USIA's satellite television network, transmits news, educational and cultural programming 24 hours a day to millions of foreign viewers through American embassies, USIS posts, and foreign television and cable networks. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, including its Czech and Polish affiliates, broadcasts over 500 hours per week in 23 languages to Central Europe, Russia, Iran, Iraq, and the republics of the New Independent States. INFORMATION PROGRAMS Electronic and Printed Materials: The Washington File information service provides both time-sensitive and in-depth information in five languages. The File includes full transcripts of speeches, Congressional testimony, articles by Administration officials, and materials providing analysis of key issues. Other materials include on-line publications dealing with democratic developments, trade, security, and other issues. The Agency has worldwide web sites for domestic and overseas audiences which contain information about the United States, USIA programs, and key international events and issues. Speakers and Specialists Program: The Speakers and Specialists Program enables hundreds of Americans to share their expertise with audiences abroad. For speakers who are requested on short notice, required for a single event, or

88

are unable to travel, digital video conference programs allow foreign audiences to communicate electronically with their U.S. counterparts. Information Resource Centers: Over 100 information resource centers are electronically equipped for rapid delivery of information relevant to U.S. interests abroad to foreign leaders in government, media and academia. In some developing countries, USIA supports public-access libraries that encourage in-depth study and understanding of American society and institutions. Foreign Press Centers: USIA operates foreign press centers in Washington, New York, and Los Angeles to assist resident and visiting foreign journalists. The centers work cooperatively with privately sponsored international press centers in Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Miami, and Seattle. U.S.- NIS EXCHANGES - USIA programs for the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union focus on academic, cultural and information exchanges that encourage the development of democracy and free market economies. Examples include: 1) the Edmund Muskie Fellowship program and the Freedom Support Act Graduate Fellowship Program, which bring qualified NIS college graduates to the U.S. for graduate study programs in law, business, economics, and public administration, 2) programs for post-doctoral scholars and research fellowships in the social sciences and humanities at U.S. institutions, and 3) under the Freedom Support Act Undergraduate Program, USIA enables undergraduates to study at U.S. universities for one year. EASTERN EUROPE INITIATIVES - USIA participates in the Support for Eastern European Democracies (SEED) program, an initiative begun in FY 1990 to help Central and Eastern European countries develop democratic and free market institutions. Since FY 1990, USIA has funded training programs in a range of fields, including management, English teaching, educational reform, the rule of law, and library training. RESEARCH AND MEDIA REACTION - This is the only office in the U.S. government responsible for advising the President, Secretary of State, and other foreign affairs policymakers on foreign public opinion about the U.S. and its policies. The research staff commissions public opinion surveys in nearly every country. It also provides twice-daily reports on foreign media

89

commentary around the world on various issues that is provided to officials throughout the government. HISTORY - USIA was established by President Eisenhower in August 1953 and operated under that name until April 1978, when its functions were consolidated with those of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the Department of State and the agency was called the International Communication Agency (USICA). The agency's name was restored as USIA in August 1982. AUTHORITY - The agency's basic legislative mandates are the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961. The International Broadcasting Act of 1994 reorganized and consolidated all non-military U.S. government international broadcasting into USIA, supervised by the Broadcasting Board of Governors. This authority will continue to guide public diplomacy programming following USIA's integration with the Department of State. Much of this work is now being farmed out to a growing number of NGOs or so-called non-governmental organizations that are supposedly set up to help people around the globe. Hundreds of graduating seniors from Harvard and other Ivy League schools known to be hooked into the government intelligence loop open up NGOs and get on the government gravy train to earn a living after graduating from college. So dont get too excited when a nation like Iran accuses our NGOs of spying; many of them are. This is all part of the new diplomatic game. According to the United Nations DESA (Department of Economic and Affairs) website in an article entitled Record number of NGOs seeking participation in the UN that was published on January 1st, 2011:
During this years session, the Committee is expected to go over 170 new applications, and 180 applications deferred from earlier sessions. Completing this process is a key task of the committee since once accredited, NGOs can have access and participation in all of the subsidiary bodies of the Council such as the Commission on the Status of Women, the Commission on Sustainable Development, and the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

In an interesting article that appeared on the OneWorld South Asia website it was noted that India has a mind-blowing 3.3 million NGOs, or one for about every 400 people living in India. According to the article:
India has possibly the largest number of active non-government, not-forprofit organisations in the world. A recent study commissioned by the

90

government put the number of such entities, accounted for till 2009, at 3.3 million. That is one NGO for less than 400 Indians, and many times the number of primary schools and primary health centres in India. Even this staggering number may be less than the actual number of NGOs active in the country. This is because the study, commissioned in 2008, took into consideration only those entities which were registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 or the Mumbai Public Trust Act and its variants in other states. [India, More NGOs, than schools and health centres 07 July 2010]
[http://southasia.oneworld.net/todaysheadlines/india-more-ngos-than-schools-andhealth-centres]

The numbers in India may seem incredible, but that is nothing compared to the statistics for Brooklyn, New York, which sits in Kings County and is the home of the largest Jewish population in the United States. Brooklyn has a mind-boggling 12,422 tax-exempt organizations listed with taxexemptworld.com as of March 14th, 2012 with assets of $12,353,141,957, and income of $14,064,719,774. That works out to one NGO for every 201 citizens, and 129 NGOs per square mile. But thats not all. Would it be possible to triple those numbers? Heck, we can do you one better, for in New York County, which is home to Manhattan, there are a mind-boggling 31,921 NGOs with assets of $266,528,626,239, and income of $184,628,177,877. This works out to one NGO for every 48 citizens, and 945 per square mile. I suppose the tax-benefits and possibility of creating oneself a lifelong income from an NGO is an attractive proposition for folks having to tolerate the high cost of living up in New York City. Heck, with the 2012 income from Manhattans NGOs, one could write every man, woman, and child living in the United States a $500 check this year alone. And I hear NGOs incomes are actually down. This calls for further investigation, but well leave that for the topic of another book for another day. It has been noted time and time again that NGOs are for all practical purposes running the island nation of Haiti. A book was released in 2005 titled Canada in Haiti, The Poor Majority written by Yves Engler and Anthony Fenton, both noted activist types. The book covers the subversive activities of the U.S. and Canadian governments in Haiti. The content page of the book lists the chapters to be as follows:
An Introduction to Haiti and the Aristide Government Destabilizing Unfriendly GovernmentsWhy and Howand Weve Seen It All Before How CIDA and USAID Used Civil Society to Destabilize an Elected Government

91

Power in the Barrel of CIA-supplied Guns Ottawa Takes the Initiative Lining Up the OAS, the UN and the Media When a Coup Is Not a Coup The AftermathA Human Rights Disaster What next? Will We Let Them Get Away With It?

The following constitutes a description of the book given on the Fernwood publishing website:
While western leaders make speeches about building democracy, their actions speak louder than words. Based upon documents gathered using Access to Information requests, human rights investigations and in-country interviews, Canada in Haiti tells how Canada, the USA and France undermined the overthrow of Haitis elected government. In a country already the poorest in the western hemisphere, this has led to thousands of deaths, unimaginable suffering and further impoverishment. Canada in Haiti is a cry to the citizens of rich countries to understand what is being done in our name to the descendants of the worlds only successful slave rebellion.

In an article by William Booth entitled NGOs in Haiti face new questions about effectiveness that appeared in the The Washington Post on February 1, 2011, we learn some disturbing realities about the operational environment many of these organizations work in and we also learn that Haitian government officials believe their own power is being usurped by NGOs:
Hundreds, maybe thousands, of nongovernmental organizations, known as NGOs, poured into the country after the Jan. 12 earthquake to provide emergency services. The groups - from international brand names such as Save the Children to unknown Baptist missionaries from Oklahoma - were supported by overwhelming global generosity, including more than $1.4 billion in donations from Americans. But the effectiveness of the NGOs is now being questioned, by the groups themselves, and especially by Haitian leaders who complain that NGOs have become a parallel government hobbled by poor coordination, high turnover and a lack of transparency. In the squalid camps where 800,000 people still languish, many Haitians routinely say their misery is exploited by NGOs to raise funds rather than raise them up from poverty. Children throw rocks at photographers from aid groups trying to take their pictures, demanding money.

92

Haiti is not the first government to complain about NGOs being used as arms of Western Imperialism. Russian President Putin questioned the independence of many NGOs due to how they are funded. His belief is that if they are funded by a government, they are an extension of that government. See critiques of NGOs on Wikipedia:
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-overnmental_organization#Critiques]

In another chapter in this book, I cover a more recent incident involving NGOs that occurred in Egypt during the s0-called Arab Spring uprisings. Lets just say that the Arab Spring uprisings were more like soft-money preliminary coups backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. A little research into the background of the NGOs booted out of Egypt will open ones eyes to what is really going onbut more on Egypt later. Just recently, I read an article that stated NGOs are demanding the sovereign state of Pakistan do as they say regarding Pakistans internet censorship policy. While I whole heartedly disagree with internet censorship, I equally whole heartedly disagree with the intrusion of foreign government influence via NGOs into the sovereign affairs of other nations. Heck, it only goes to prove Putin is right, and this kind of thinking is one day going to force U.S. Citizens to have to bow down and be subjected to the socialist laws currently being cooked up over at the UN. [https://www.cdt.org/blogs/erica-newland/0304global-ngos-demand-pakistan-dropcensorship-plans]

NGOs are also now attempting to assert UN-guaranteed rights to enter into any country they please without having to first seek the permission of the host country. This is bad policy and part of the New World Order strategy of the U.S. Federal Reserve and other world bankers. Their philosophy: The world is by G-d going to be a dictatorial democracy whether by bullet or NGO. Type the words NGOs demand into any internet search engine and it is astounding the number of arrogant demands being made upon nations by groups or sniveling greenhorns, college kids with fresh ink stains on their hands from cut and pasted plagiarized master thesis on such topics as The Sex Life of Bullied Queers that Refrained From Committing Suicide, turned in under the wire, many of whom have never worked a day in their lives and certainly do not possess the intimate knowledge that comes with age and experience required to make assessments on the condition of foreign governments. Sorry boys, I agree with Putin on this oneboot all of them NGO hippies out of your countries and make them go back home and work for a living like the rest of us. This new arrogant and demanding attitude of NGOs is being fostered up in Canada of all placesso much for the Great Northern

93

American Frontier. What a big letdown for we Americans that once thought Canada was really the land of the free. I bet a draft dodger would have a rough go at it in Canada today, as this great Northern American nation over the past decade has become the hotbed of New World Order planning activity. And part of that planning involves NGOs and a little known doctrine called RtoP or Responsibility to Protect. The best way to introduce this subject is to share the thesis of their stated objectives and doctrine. The following comes straight off the Responsibility to Protect.org website:
In 2001, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) released The Responsibility to Protect report, which redefined collective security by introducing a concept of shared responsibility. Since that time, other governments, international officials, academics and civil society organizations have taken up the Responsibility to Protect and contributed to its evolving meaning in the international community. The International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) was formed in September 2000 under the sponsorship of the Government of Canada with the goal of developing global political consensus about how and when the international community should respond to emerging crises involving the potential for large-scale loss of life and other widespread crimes against humanity. ICISS concluded that state sovereignty entails responsibility for the protection of the states population. The report also emphasized that there is a secondary responsibility of the international community: "where a population is suffering serious harm, as a result of internal war, insurgency, repression or state failure, and the state in question is unwilling or unable to halt or avert it," it becomes the responsibility of the international community to intervene for protection purposes. The ICISS principles became known collectively as the Responsibility to Protect and the international community is urged support these Responsibility to Protect principles, emphasizing that prevention must be a priority.

I will close this chapter by stating that I personally do not support the U.S. Government being used as a tool of world bankers, oil drillers, and merchants to overthrow any government, no matter it is a dictator, a tyrant, or democratically elected leader. I believe that businesses should compete on the merit of their products and services and not on the projection of U.S. power via gunboats, high-flying drones, and economic terrorism. My view is that such actions as overthrowing a tyrant must be brought on by the oppressed citizens of the countries in which the oppressor man lives. The oppressed must rise up to challenge the

94

oppressor or else they will forever be kow-towing to the patrons that did the overthrowing for them. And if I were an oppressed people living in our world today, I would certainly not trust the United States Government to have my back, as they have been known to cut and run on a whim, the smell of fresh money elsewhere, a new oil find on the other side of the globe, or the change of weather and the change of politicians in Washington. Just this week as Syrians are now crying out for U.S. intervention, and after having been prodded by American tax dollars and NGOs to rise up against Mubarak, Secretary of State Hillary Its all about the Glam Clinton went on national TV last night, May 31, 2012, proclaiming it is not yet time for U.S. involvement in Syria. She instead casts the blame at Russias feet, claiming the Russians are pushing Syria towards a Civil War, similar to what happened in Bosnia. She then gushes about the need for the international community to act as one on this deal and how all of a sudden the U.S. has limited ability to act at the present time. Talk about pandering in the historical mirror of hypocrisy. If this is not proof in the pudding for anyone putting their faith in the flimsy fly-by-night diplomacy of American money politics, I dont know what is. This is why people around the world grow to hate Americans and quite frankly why I and many of my fellow Americans, to include Congressman Ron Paul, are sick and tired of our politicians putting us in this situation. Hell, an American can no longer freely travel around the world without harboring the unnatural fear of being kidnapped or accosted due to the unjust and often belligerent U.S. Foreign Policy being dictated by the arrogant buffoons running our government. Putin fired back at Clinton today, June 1st, 2012, stating that Russia is not supplying weapons to be used in civilian massacres and believes the issue must be resolved through the United Nations. Germany supports Putins position of achieving resolution via the UN. Of course Putin is asserting his power as George Bushs soul-mate and letting the world know that Russia still counts. Putting Syria in context of current Middle Eastern and New Eastern Policy, this all goes back to the policies of Zionist-embedded U.S. Department of State. The goal in all of this is to eliminate anyone in the region that the Apartheid State of Israel claims to be a threat to its sovereignty. Wake up America! You are being taken for a big old kosher ride! Does this mean I support Mubarak, the Iranian Mullahs, and the other strongmen in the region? No it does not. Does this mean that I support Islamic Fundamentalism and dictatorships? No it does not.

95

What it means is that I DO NOT support my nation acting as the worlds police force and taking over the world in the process. When I go to France I want to see Frenchmen and eat French food, not over-stuffed Americans eating at McDonalds.

The Legacy of Dorothy Thompson, Col. William A. Eddy, and Brigadier General Robert A. McClure What the Cables Tell In the short few years following World War II leading up to the CIA backed Coup dtat of Irans democratically elected government, the United States diplomatic corps and intelligence agencies were spending a considerable amount of time putting out fires that were fueled during the creation of the State of Israel. The other focus was on finding accommodation with our allies who were operating in the region and respecting their interests while keeping a watchful and concerned eye on the ambitions of the Soviet Union. The Cold War was on. It is quite apparent from the multitude of the diplomatic cables flying back and forth between the United States from our Middle Eastern embassies that there was to some degree a deficit in our understanding of the cultures we were dealing with and thus attempting to bridge this knowledge gap often came at the cost of missteps, mistakes, miscalculations and blunders. Add to that the arrogance of the elitists that often made up the rank and file membership of U.S. intelligence agencies at the time, and our version of diplomacy often resulted in the base idea that money could buy what wooing and propaganda could not. It is also clear that we had ample opportunity to address many of the issues that haunt us yet today had we done things in a different manner and not succumbed to Zionist propaganda at the time. For starters, after World War II, Western Christians, Secular Persians, and Arab Islamists were on the same page when it came to Communism. This may come as a shock to American Christians today that think Muslims and Persians have always had it in for them. This simply is not true. Even today, contrary to the simplistic understanding that many in the United States have of the Middle East and the Near East, most people are unaware that there is a group of Jews successfully living in Iran as this is being written. Jews have lived throughout Middle and Near Eastern nations for time immemorial and mostly without persecution as is often thought from the few incidents that have been blown out of proportion for Zionist propaganda sake. It cannot be legitimately assumed that every defeat in battle the Jews suffered was a result of religious prosecution. I reviewed literally hundreds of articles archived by the JTA from 1923 up until the Iranian Revolution and most of them reflected favorable relations between Israel and Iran. And in many cases Iran often verbally defended the right of Israel to exist within the United Nations General Assembly. Chaim Weizmann was a BIGOT, a RACIST, and a LIAR,

97

someone that the Southern Poverty Law Center today would most likely want to put on trial for racism and race-based murder. Many of the news articles of the time reflect numerous lies spoken by Chaim Weizmann, the mouthpiece and founder of Zionism. Weizmann claimed he was against violence, but the fact is Israel was founded after numerous episodes of extreme violence perpetrated against the Arab and Persian landowners that were dispossessed of their farms and land. Once you start a movement, you own it. If it runs afoul of your original ideals and aspirations, you still own it. Period. Its called accepting responsibility for ones actions. The Zionist stole from the Palestinians just as the Nazis stolen from them. Weizmanns arguments for a Zionist State also underscore the racism embedded in the idea of Single Ethnicity State. Sample Articles from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA):
July 31, 1949 The Department said it has no record of 10,000 active Israeli applications for American visas, a figure which was mentioned in reports from Israel earlier this week. One consular official who returned from Israel a few days ago said that a figure of 3,000 would be more nearly accurate and that most of this number was made up of Jewish refugees from Shanghai who were resettled in Israel. Dec. 5, 1949 During the week-end, the Political Committee approved a $54,900,000 program of both direct relief and works projects for the Palestine Arab refugees. Aubrrey S. Eban, Israel's delegate to the U.N., pointed out during the discussions that direct negotiations between Israel and each Arab state are necessary for the political settlement of the Middle East. Declaring that Israel was ready for peace, Mr. Eban said."We hope the bitterness of war will recede and will become partners in the economic development of the vast territory." At the same time, striking back at Arab attacks on Israel which had even brought rebuke from the Moslem chairman of the Committee, Nasrollah Entezam, of Iran, Mr. Eban emphasized that a nation's right to survival took precedence over all other considerations .

Nov. 27th, 1947 Representatives of the World Jewish Congress, speaking

yesterday at a meeting of the sub-committee of the U.N. Human Rights Commission, which is currently taking place here, expressed support of an American-Iranian proposal for adoption of strong safeguards providing for the implementation of all recommendations on human rights. Mar. 10, 1946 Jerusalem (Feb. 8) Words of Weizmann Dr. Chaim Weizmann came before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine today, as it opened hearings here, and in a calm, at impassioned fourand-a-half hour statement pleaded with them to allow the building of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The high points of Dr. Weizmann's testimony, which was frequently interrupted by questions from the visibly interested committee members, were:

98

1.

2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Although he favors the eventual establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, when the Jews are in a majority, he does not demand the establishment of such a state immediately, but wants maximum Jewish immigration. He is not interested in the "trappings" of a Jewish state, but wants state power" for Jews to develop the country, and the immediate abolition of the White paper. He wants peace with the Arabs and is willing to meet with them at any time to discuss the future of the country. He does not believe that there is any future in Europe for most of that continent's Jews. He revealed that Winston Churchill, when Prime Minister, promised that when the war ended, he would try to convince the U.S. Government to go along with Zionist aspirations. He is "profoundly opposed" to violence and would do everything in his power to curb it.

Aug. 2nd, 1945 The world Zionist leader (Chaim Weizmann) pledged that the Arabs in Palestine will retain their possessions and their linguistic, cultural and religious identity, as well as complete equality of rights and natural ties with their brethren in the neighboring countries where Arab nationalism, he said, has ample scope. October 12th, 1943 Washington (Oct. 11) - Speaking at a press conference, Dr. Silver estimated that Palestine could absorb 100,000 Jews-a year from Central and Eastern Europe for the next 10 years. He hoped, he said, to marshal public opinion here and in England against the policy that would halt Jewish immigration into Palestine on March 31 next. He expressed the opinion that after the war, only 3,000,000 of Europe's 6,000,000 Jews would be left alive and that even these could not be reabsorbed into the strained economics of the continent. Dr. Silver denied that Zionists oppose "legitimate Arab national aspirations," adding that Jews were ready to help Arabs develop Palestine. [Editorial Comment: This 1943 statement that there were 6,000,000 Jews in Europe number is inconsistent with the notion that 6,000,000 Jews were killed in Europe during the war, a number that came out at the Nuremberg Trials. Surely there is a legitimate explanation for this?] Jan. 27th, 1942 Jewish Negotiations with Arabs urged by Professor Wise Elementary political sense and decency, however, must recognize that Palestine can be made available for this purpose only by negotiations with the native Arab population of the country. No people will submit to being made a minority in their own land. Against any such attempt the Arabs will certainly fight, and in such a fight they will have the support not only of 30,000,000 fellow-Arabs but the sympathy of all lovers of democracy and fair play." Dec. 11th, 1936 Shanghai Iran's liberalism to her 50,000 Jews and her friendliness to Zionism were described by A. R. Mirfendereski, new consul-

99

general of Iran, in an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. He said the Jews of the land which was formerly called Persia enjoy full rights, are permitted to raise funds at will for Palestine (there are restrictions in some parts of the Near East) and that many Jews hold Government positions. Jul. 17th, 1935 Tehran, Iran The Shah of Iran (Persia) today sent a personal invitation by cable to Professor Ernst Blumenfeld, famous German Jewish physician, to take charge of the entire hospital system. Professor Blumenfeld was dismissed by the Nazis under the "Aryan" paragraph.

A notable exception to the regional ignorance of the average Middle East hand with the U.S. Government was W. A. Eddy who was raised in Persia. In a letter from W.A. Eddy addressed to a one Miss Dorothy Thompson in June of 1951 we learn the following:
[Editorial note: this is the second page of a letter that does not state how it got into the hands of the NSA as the first page of the letter is missing as well as the formal cable data.]

should have been allies with Germany against Russia. He claims that his actions at the time are now being vindicated in the arming of Germany by the Allies against Russia. The Mufti has no interest in the shifting alliances between the Powers intended to maintain a balance of power but he stated emphatically that all historic religion will be destroyed if Russia conquers the world. He spoke cordially of the cooperation which would be offered by Muslims to promote a joint propaganda with Christians to make this danger clear. III. While in an audience with the King of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Aziz Saud, this week, the King Addressed himself strongly to the same point. He confirmed that both Christianity and Islam are threatened by Communism, their common enemy. Christians and Muslims both worship the one true God and Russia is determined to destroy the worship of God. Therefore, Muslims in the East and Christians in the West, should be allies in this trouble to defend their historic faith. I feel sure that a statement along these lines, or quotation, could be secured formally from the King if a way were found to quote a number of other representative persons at the same time who could speak for large numbers of believers among Christians and Muslims. As the ruler of the land of the Holy Cities, Mecca and Medina, to which over 100,000 of the faithful from Morocco to China travel every year, and as head of the puritanical Wahhabi movement to restore the pure faith and practices of Islam, the King is without any doubt the most representative and influential Muslim in the world today.

IV. Finally, I enclose translation of portion of an address made at Cairo, late in March of this year, by Muhammed Ali Allouba Pasha, formerly Minister of Education in Egypt and a recongnized leader of Islamic and Arab movements. A few years ago it would have been inconceivable that a Muslim, prominent in public life, would stand on the platform of an American university and speak in public so reverently of Jesus and so respectfully of the Christian religion. What makes this address even more significant is that the lecturer and author requested the noted Egyptian writer, Fuad Sarruf Bey, to please bring the speakers views to responsible and sympathetic circles in the USA. Perhaps you will find some way to have this done or some publication in which Alloub Pashas remarks may be published. I shall write to you soon on other points raised in your letter of April 16. I had intended to do so earlier but I have been travelling almost constantly during the past two months. Sincerely yours, /s/ W. A. EDDY W.A. Eddy WAE/jk Enclosure: cc: F.A.Davies, Aramco, Dhahran J.T. Duce, Aramco, 505 Park Ave., NY H.O.Thompson, The Rt. Rev. Arthur McKinstry, Bishop of Delaware Wilmington, Delaware Brig. Gen. Robert A. McClure, Director of Psychological Warfare, Dept. of Defense, Washington, D.C. The W.A. Eddy mentioned in the cable was Colonel William Eddy. According to an informative article written about his legacy that appeared in the Economist on November 6th, 2008 entitled Colonel Bill Eddy, An earlier envoy, Eddy was born in 1896 to the son of a Protestant Missionary in Sidon, or part of modern day Lebanon. Eddy was fluent in the Arabic language.
Bill Eddy was from first to last a loyal Marine. Wounded in France in the first world war, he became an intelligence officer in Tangier in 1942-43 and helped prepare the ground for the Allied landing in north Africa. Soon he was named President Franklin Roosevelts emissary to King Abdel Aziz of Saudi Arabia, Prince Bandars grandfather (see article). In 1945 he shepherded the battle-scarred old king and his entourage to an historic meeting with FDR on a ship in the Suez canal.

With Colonel Eddy translating, the two leaders got on well. The Saudi king was pleased that Roosevelt promised to take no action on Palestinewhere Britain was trying to hold the ring between Arabs and Jewswithout first consulting the Arabs. Within weeks of the encounter, though, Roosevelt was dead. When his successor, Harry Truman, committed himself to the Zionist cause, the Saudi monarch felt betrayed. Eddy, who shared the kings anti-Zionist sentiments, resigned. Back in Washington, he became involved in the great post-war restructuring of American intelligence. When he returned in 1951 to Lebanon, the land of his birth, Eddy worked officially for Aramco, an oil company, and unofficially for the CIA.

Brigadier General Robert A. McClure, whose name is listed as one of the recipients of this cable was considered the father of Army special warfare. In a great biographical article written by Colonel Alfred H. Paddock, Jr. (USA Retired) that appeared as a reprint on the website psywarrior.com we learn the following as related to McClures Iran involvement:
By early 1953, most of McClures major programs had been launched; nevertheless, he was surprised to learn that he was being assigned to Iran as chief of the U.S. Military Mission. The rationale was that he had been in a specialized activity too long. The Army Chief of Staff, General Collins, implied that McClures chance for promotion would be enhanced by the new assignment. In Iran, McClure formed close associations with the Shah and the Iranian senior military. [http://www.psywarrior.com/mcclure.html]

The surprise spoken to above came for General McClure as he had just finished successfully setting up the 10th Special Forces Group and basically designed the modern combat units known as the Green Beret. Obviously the U.S. Government was looking for their best men to head up their Middle Eastern operations. It has also been noted that this was the only means McClure could add another star to his lapel.
[Editorial Commentary]:
[Retired Army Colonel Dr. Alfred H. Paddock, Jr., the author of the full article from which these quotes were drawn, is an extraordinary American soldier by his own right. He runs a great website called the Small Wars Journal. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great information on US Army Special Forces history and operations.

Perhaps the most interesting name in the aforementioned cable is that of Dorothy Thompson, the addressee of the letter from W.A. Eddy. Thompson was the first journalist kicked out of Germany by the Nazis prior to the start of World War II for poking fun of Adolf Hitler, calling him a little man. Thompson became one of the most influential journalists America has ever known. According to a biographical sketch of Thompson in Sam Rileys book Biographical Dictionary of American Newspaper Columnists, Thompson was born on July 9th, 1893 and died on January 30th, 1961. She championed many causes from womens suffrage back in 1914 to the plight of the Palestinian people after the birth of the State of Israel. Her famous newspaper column that appeared in the New York Herald Tribune from 1936-1941 was syndicated in over 170 newspapers. After World War II she wrote for the New York Post, the paper couldnt accept her criticism of Zionism so they charged her with the ridiculous notion of anti-semitism and a little man running the paper fired her. His name was Ogden Mills Reid, a reputed drunk and a queer, that spent most of his time away from his wife in an alcoholic stupor in Paris, France in his lavish Mansion located at 4 Rue de Chevreuse in Montparnasse. Ogdens son, Ogden R. Reid would become the U.S. Ambassador to Israel from 1959-1961. For those that think the Jews own every publication in the country, Ive got a newsflash for you, they dont. The Ogdens were Presbyterian Christians. However, they wholeheartedly supported Zionism. According to a 1962 article that appeared in the JTA on November 7th, 1962, Ogden R. Reid was listed along with nine Jews that were elected to Congress that year. Ogden and another gentile were noted as being Candidates of Jewish Interest:
A number of new legislators of Jewish interest were elected. They included Ogden R. Reid, New York Republican, who served from 1959 to 1961 as U. S. Ambassador to Israel; and Claude Pepper, Florida Democrat, who won a House seat. He had previously served in the Senate and became known as a leading advocate of Jewish and Zionist causes.

The United States squandered the opportunity to bring Middle Eastern and Near Eastern states on board the democracy train for a prosperous ride into the future by foolishly backing the play of Great Britain in Iran and by acquiescing to the creation of the State of Israel. And this chapter is as good of a place as any to state that Great Britain has created more chaos around the globe than any nation on earth up until the 1990s when the United States of America under the Bush Dynasty went on the warpath. Great Britain is directly responsible along with the United States for many of todays problems with terrorism around the globe. There is no denying this. The good peoples of these regions did not come guns-a-blazing looking for a fight with the West. Anyone who thinks this is delusional. I have read nearly every diplomatic cable that has been declassified by every alphabet agency in the United States Government and they all lead to one basic conclusion; our greed, miscalculation, over-reach, and foreign policies towards the State of Israel have created for America nearly every single problem we face today, especially as related to the socalled war on terror. Let me ask you a question. If today, the Federal Government came on to your ranch, farm, or to your home, city, community or state and said pack up and move, we are giving it back to the native Americans,

104

what would you do? Would you peacefully move into a tent city, a refugee camp, without a fight? And if they kept you there without being given any compensation for the move and loss of property and then began giving the Native Americans billions in aid dollars so they can point their nuclear-powered bows and arrows at you, would you take is laying down, or would you form a militia and begin making raids into Indian Territory? Keep in mind that the Jews running the newspapers will brand you a terrorist, and eventually the Indians will use phosphorus tipped arrow grenades to launch an all out slaughter on your refugee camp. Dont even think about setting up a government in your camp. Democracies are only for those that have the backing of AIPAC, and you sure the hell wont have that, what? Wake up America! Zionists have hijacked the U.S. Government! .

TPAJAX - An Invitation to Information

As was noted in the previous chapter, Iran had been leaning towards the west prior to the Mohammad Rez Shh Pahlav being installed as the wests marionette as a means to appease British oil lust and greed. The United States became the manipulator. In 1951, the year Iran nationalized its oil, the CIA assessment of the Middle East reflected an era of unprecedented U.S. diplomacy, yet with a thumb still hanging in the gun belt, as we were fresh out of World War II, and there were lots of old warriors walking around in need of a battleground. This new war however would be different. It would involve a greater use of stealth, craftiness, and psychological operations than did World War II. The OSS had broken ground for the U.S. intelligence apparatus during the world war and methodologies were tried and tested. The skill sets developed during the war would be honed in the 1950s to perfection and this would require the use of techniques that would prove to haunt up until present time. We are on the brink of war in the Middle East today due to arrogance and not having pushed back on the British over fifty years ago when they demanded satisfaction over the nationalization of what they considered to be their private property. Had we insisted that the British work out a different solution, we most likely would be looking at a different scenario in Persia today, and Iran might have been a flowering first rate democracy? At British insistence and persuasion, we instead chose to go down a path of subversion and regime change, thus developing a subversive diplomatic skill set that we have honed so well that today we are able to remove leaders around the world with no real reaction of objection from our s0-called allies. And as was the case when Tony Blair in 2003 acquiesced to President Bushs misrepresentation of CIA intelligence, thus propelling us yet into another war in the Middle East. Perhaps George Bush was merely calling in a marker from a previous eraback in 1951 when the British came calling looking for our help in a psychological operation against the government of Iran. The following documents are but a few of the remaining documents that were not admittedly destroyed by the CIA related to Project TPAJAX, a fact admitted to Tim Weiner of the New York Times by the U.S. intelligence community in 1997. According to Weiners article entitled CIA Destroyed Files on 1953 Iran Coup:
A historian who was a member of the CIA staff in 1992 and 1993 said in an interview on Wednesday that the records were obliterated by "a culture of destruction" at the agency. The historian, Nick Cullather, said he believed that records on other major cold war covert operations had been burned, including

107

those on secret missions in Indonesia in the 1950s and a successful CIAsponsored coup in Guyana in the early 1960s. "Iran -- there's nothing," Cullather said. "Indonesia -- very little. Guyana -that was burned."

However, in his view, high policy of the two governments calls for further exploration of cooperation in the psychological field. He suggested that consideration be given to initiating an exploration of way and means of psychological cooperation possibly by British and American officials in the field. Mr. Phillips replied that while he agreed with Mr. Watsons general suggestion, he felt that conversations might be initiated informally in Washington. Mr. Jones shared this view. Mr. Watson then said he proposed to send a telegram to his government suggesting that the Foreign Office discuss with Mr. McGhee at his forthcoming visit to London the desirability of some common exploration of the psychological objectives and programs of the two governments in the Arab world. He also undertook to prepare and furnish to the Department of informal memorandum on the subject which might be considered at the McGhee-Furlonge conversations in April. Secret

This cable is describing an Iranian newspaper article that is either an example of what the USIA would perhaps plant or it is a cable in which the writer appears to be on to the American propaganda: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CONFIDENTIAL 2-Tehran-827-1/21/52 The Iranian announcer, as instructed by his boss, speaks on behalf of the humanitarian (I) and peace-loving (I) America. Instead of broad casting programs from which our people may benefit, he tells stories about the good quality of American nylon toy-balloons and rubber-covered roads in U.S.A. and, interesting enough, he is not paid even a cent for the services which he performs by his lords.

The remainder of the article deals with matters of salaries, qualification of Radio Tehran personnel, etc. without attention to USIE. References to tank factories, fantastic incomes, nylon toy-balloons and rubber covered roads in this case, represent pure invention or very considerable distortion of the material in the scripts.

POST MARK - NOV 5, 1052 DATE STAMP - NOV 24, 1952 CONFIDENTIAL This Draft Must be Returned to Central Files 511.8621/11-552 CS/H Pg. 1 Unreadable Pg. 2 4. (Assessment of the Influence of Communism in the Region) ..Arab States except Saudi Arabia enjoyed a genuine and free political Independence. The economic life of the region, unsupported by either capital resources or advanced technology, the twin bases of Western, economy, and constrained by feudal pattern of agriculture, has remained at a low level, and its weaknesses were brought to sharper realization by closer contrast with the relatively high economic level of Europe and America. The discovery tht this region held a rich share of the worlds known resources of petroleum aggravated rather than solved the problem. The lack of capital and skill and the political weakness of the Arab states laid these resources open to Western exploitation through gigantic enterprises that often appeared to be foreign enclaves in the Arab economy. The second World War exacerbated Arab feelings and those of the Middle Ease generally. Military necessity dictated intervention into the territory and affairs of Middle Eastern countries (e.g., Egypt and Iran). The war also demonstrated Western dependence on Middle Eastern countries (e.g., Egypt and Iran). The war also demonstrated Western dependence on Middle Eastern oil and weakened the ability of the Western powers to maintain their traditional political hold over the area. These events gave the spur of bitterness and the enticement of prospective success to an intensely nationalistic, indeed a fanatical, drive to be free of Western control, a drive to which patriotic, racial, religious, and economic motives alike impelled nearly all classes. Final intensity was given this drive by the explosive Arab reaction against Western and particularly American support for the partition of Palestine and the creation of Israel. The primarily negative reaction against the West with which we need to deal therefore revolves around the belief that the west has over a long period sought to exploit the people and the resources of the Arab world for its own purposes, that this exploitation has involved the deliberate continuation of a quasi-colonial political status, and that it has produced or at least perpetuated and aggravated the poverty of the area. Envy has reinforced suspicion, and helplessness and frustration have made it irrational. To this set of attitudes has been added a hostility arising from religious sources perhaps no longer primarily a zealous detestation of the infidel but rather a resentment of the contempt or indifference with which the West is thought to view Islam and Islamic civilization coupled with a conservative aversion to what are thought to be the materialism, godlessness, and immorality of Western and particularly American life.

113

This conviction that the West contemns the Arab world and is prepared to use it for its own ends has particular relevance to international relations, since twice in a generation the Arab area has been the theater of hostilities between Western powers in which Arabs have felt they had no stake or were defrauded with respect to the stakes they had. The support of Israel they construe as another evidence of the willingness of Western, and especially American, political leaders unconcernedly to sacrifice vital Arab interests for temporary domestic political advantage. Similarly, efforts to promote a joint defense to the Middle East against Russia are viewed cynically as schemes to use Arabs in the defense of resources and routes vital to the West rather than as evidence of a genuine desire to protect the Arabs themselves against totalitarian enslavement. In contrast, though most Arabs dislike Russia and detest Communism, they are inclined to dismiss the Soviet threat as one remote and unfamiliar in comparison with what they hold to be the known and present evils of Western control. Though few Arabs are prepared even to consider the acceptance of Communism for themselves there is still a reckless willingness in many quarters to consider it as a desirable counterpoise to the West in the creation of a balance of power within which a neutral Islamic third force may have room to bargain itself into a genuinely independent position of power. These considerations of international relations are complicated by internal factors. Economically, the Arab are has steadily fall farther and farther behind the West; and there exist now few conditions for rapid economic growth. The income of the area permits only minimal subsistence, not capital formation. Technical education does not meet the demands of technical development. Psychological attitudes and traditional social structure alike impede economic change. While blind nationalization dreams of immediate industrial and the management of enormous oil enterprises, equally blind class interest opposes the changes in land tenure and credit arrangements essential to the attainment of even modest improvement in the standards of living. The consequence is disparity between rich and poor and ever more acutely unbearable misery among the people generally that make unstable and undependable every possible political or military arrangement with this area. It is not, of course, our responsibility to deal with this economic situation directly, but insofar as its causes and consequences are psychological, they lie within our sphere. A second internal factor is the similar political instability. There is almost no political authority within the Arab world which enjoys the legitimacy of long tradition or overwhelming acceptance. The peoples of none of the Arab countries, unless possibly it be the Lebanon, have been drawn together into any functioning body politic capable of according any meaningful consent of the governed. Naked power, narrow class interest, corrupt selfseeking have characterized most Arab governments. Assassination is likely to be the source as well as the fate of authority. This absence of stable and responsible political authority has enormously complicated the task of the Western powers in working out understanding with the Arab world. Especially has it imposed obstacles to Western cooperation in achieving indispensable economic reforms.

114

Finally, political and economic instability has been coupled with a rigid and traditional religious system which has reinforced the fanatical and irrational elements in Arab attitudes and made difficult if not impossible any reasonable course of compromise. The pessimism of this picture is by no means unrelieved. The power and the wealth of the West and especially of America have created respect as well as envy and suspicion. Individual Americans are likely to be well regarded and American educational an missionary enterprises have won both prestige and affection. The gravity of the Soviet menace is being more clearly seen. There is a growing if reluctant realization that only the West has the resources of capital and technical skill necessary to development of the Arab world and that collaboration with the West is inescapable. Optimists may view the chaos of the last year or two as involving a revulsion against the worst in the present situation and groping toward responsible government. At least the promise of the initiation of essential economic reform is in prospect. And finally, within Islam itself there are important, if as yet minority movements, towards the reconciliation of traditional faith with contemporary empiricism and pragmatism. This all too summary view, which omits highly important distinctions of class and country, nevertheless emphasizes that American and Western interests have more immediately to fear from the negative collapse of the tenuous economic and political order of that area than from the positive success of Communist doctrine. Unless it be imposed by force from without, Communism is unlikely to come to power except as a means of resolving chaos. It si desirable that Aras have a healthy awareness of Soviet Communism as the implacable enemy of all of their aspirations in order to provide a stimulus toward prompter association with the West in measures of common defense. But an even more urgent psychological objective is the establishment of such attitudes toward the West and towards the internal problems of the area as may permit a close collaboration between the West and the Arab area in strengthening the economy of the latter, in aiding it toward the achievement of political stability, and in establishing a joint defense of the area. II. Objectives of Franklin Publication The various psychological objectives of the United State in this area can be achieved through varying media. Those to which we believe the ITA-financed operations of Franklin Publications should be particularly addressed are: 1. Minimizing the difficulty of Arab-Western negotiations by reducing Arab ignorance, suspicion, and resentment of the West and particularly the United States and by emphasizing the candor, integrity, and friendliness of Western and particularly American motives in the area. Creating a realistic and comprehensive world-view in whish Arabs can see a secure and respected role for themselves, their countries, and their culture.

2.

115

Aiding in the acquisition by Arab literate groups of insights into the character of responsible government, of sound social and economic policy, and of effective economic organization. 4. Establishing an understanding of and sense of communion with the central themes of Western thought, with especial emphasis on those most eloquently stating Western ideals of dignity and freedom of individual man. III. Basic character of operations and relations with Arab officials and institutions. It is obvious that Franklin Publications will have an important effect on Arab attitudes by the character and tone of its operations as well as by the content of the books it publishes. Three things should always be borne in mind in this connection: The deeply felt suspicion, or even conviction, that the Arab people are merely the object of Western policy used by the West for the latters ends; the cynical suspicion of propaganda; and the primacy among your objectives of aiding to establish attitudes that can facilitate Arab-Western collaboration. It is therefore of the utmost importance, not merely in selection titles for use, but also in the character of your local contracts and arrangements that all other consideration be subordinated to the establishment of reciprocal good faith in its broadest sense. Specifically, this means: 1. You should on the one hand avoid the kind of association with American political and information activities that would aggravate the suspicion as to your motives that will undoubtedly be encountered in any case. 2. You should, on the other hand, be prepared candidly to admit that the operations of Franklin are aided by contributions from the State Department. This should be pictured in the same terms as States aid to the Institute for International Education or the United States Book Exchange as a desire by the Government to forward a worth effort at international understanding. 3. You should open negotiations with cultural and educational officials and leaders on the basis of seeking to determine what kinds of publications can be most effectively useful to the mutually shared ends of the United States and the Arab area. These negotiations should be and can be carried on in entire good faith, since it is the case that basic Arab and American objectives in the area are very largely identical. 4. In this connection it should be borne in mind that a genuinely close working relationship with the effective foci of opinion formulation and dissemination in the area, such as ministries of education and universities, can open the way to returns incomparably more important to the United States than any that can be achieved by operations that will incur their resentment and distrust.

3.

116

5. Similarly, close cooperation with and utilization of local publishers, printers, and distributors is desirable as a means of assuring their good will and avoiding resentment or suspicion that the Corporation is an instrument of competitive commercial intrusion. Other aspects of cooperation with the local industry are dealt with below. 6. The Corporation should plan its operations not only as an instrument for communication between the West (especially the United States) and the Arab area, but also as an instrument for helping in the solution of the grave problems of internal communication within the Arab world. That is, insofar as they contribute to the objectives previously defined it should endeavor to aid in providing channels of expression for the sane, constructive, and progressive elements of the Arab world itself and cooperate in meeting the needs of the Arab states for educational and similar materials. IV. Relations to United States embassies and legations in the area. Though, as noted above, it will be desirable both in your present trip and in any field operations Franklin Publications may maintain in the area to avoid the degree of association with the Embassy which would tend to establish Franklin Publications in local eyes as a mere tool of the State Department, it will be necessary to maintain a close liaison with the public affairs officers in the missions concerned. Each public affairs officer will be very helpful to you in reviewing current psychological problems in his country and in giving you information about the local nationals with whom you will be dealing. The views of every public affairs officer should be solicited in detail and given the fullest consideration in developing the program. No publication should be produced or distributed in a country against the wishes of the public affairs officer for that area. As you know, public affairs officers at most major posts have had allocated to them in the past sums of money with which they have been enabled to make contracts with local publishers for the production of desired translations. In the Arab areas large allotments have gone only to Cairo, and as Already know, a very limited translations program has been carried on in that area thus far. However, shortly before the close of the last fiscal year the Embassy at Cairo negotiated contracts with five or six Egyptian publishers calling for the translation and publication of some fifty books, the titles to be subject to later determination and agreement between the Embassy and the publishers. These and other contracts or commitments in the being will, or course, be executed and should be taken into account in your program. Until Franklins plans could be more definitely formulated, we have not yet made allotments from fiscal 1953 funds to public affairs officers in the Arab area for translations projects. But we will be able to make modest allotments in that area in order to enable public affairs officers to maintain working relationships with they think desirable with local publishers; to enable them to arrange for the production of books which it is unwise to have produced through the Franklin channels; and to avoid an abrupt cessation of existing translations activities which would call undesirable attention

117

to Franklins association with the Department. The amount in each case can be fixed after the public affairs officer has been able to determine his needs after discussion with you. It will be assumed, however, that Franklin Publications will take on the bulk of translations activities in this area, not replacing the public affairs officers activities in this field but rather affording him a more efficient instrument for accomplishing them than he has. Similar instructions will have been given the public affairs officers prior to your arrival. You should make a special point of familiarizing yourself with the plans and operations of the reproduction center at Beirut, which produces for the International Press Service pamphlets, leaflets, cartoon narratives and similar materials. Though these materials complement rather than in any sense duplicate anything that Franklin will propose, they should be taken fully into account; and there should be the freest exchange of information between any future Franklin Publications field office and reproduction center. V. Business relations with local publishers. Though as pointed out earlier, it is highly desirable to make the maximum possible use of local publishing, manufacturing, and distributing facilities in order to avoid commercial competition, it should be borne clearly in mind that a principal reason for the establishment of Franklin Publications is the inadequacy of existing facilities for those purposes. Much or our aim would have been defeated if the operations of Franklin Publications did not result in an enlargement and improvement of existing publishing channels in the country concerned. This can be accomplished by a number of means. With the prior approval of the Department in each case advances of working capital can be made to local publishers. Equipment can in some cases be provided. Technical assistance and advice should be freely available. The facilities of Franklin Publications can be used to make possible the distribution through all the Arab states of publications produced in any of them. New channels of distribution can be developed jus as reprints came to be put on sale in drug stores in this country. Educational institutions and organizations of all sorts can be developed as a means of distribution. The success with which this sort of thing is accomplished will be in large part a measure of the success of the project itself. VI. Establishment of the field office. I think it would be essential to establish the field office of the Franklin Publications, which, though it may have only limited editorial responsibility, will need to have a great deal of freedom in business matters. I hope you will be able to get this lined up while you are in the area. There seems to be a definite consensus that Cairo is the appropriate place for such an office. VII. Type of books to be produced. A. Audience

118

Franklin Publications should be aimed, I believe, at a broad audience that excludes at the one extreme the highly sophisticated Western educated intellectual who was a fluent command of one or more Western languages and at the other extreme at the semi-literate and illiterate masses. Of perhaps special importance are: 1. College and university students 2. The white-collar class generally 3. Government officials and employees 4. The conservative intellectual community who have received a traditional Muslim rather than Western education B. Types of Publications Attention should, I believe, be concentrated on textbooks, reference works having a political, social, and economic content, and trade books in inexpensive format. Pamphlets, magazines, cartoon narratives and the like will not be produced with the funds granted by the Information Center Service. In all of the classes of books enumerated below to which this consideration is relevant, it would be desirable, I think to conceive of three possible levels, one aimed at the university student and middle level government official, one at the high school educated clerk level, and one at the juvenile level. C. Subject matter and themes The subject matter of publications that would be most useful from our objectives is to some extent defined by the four objectives set forth earlier in this letter, and the various themes are here grouped under these four headings. 1. Related to minimizing the difficulty of Arab-Western collaboration by reducing Arab ignorance and resentment of the West. a. The first (not necessarily first in either importance or timing) should be works aimed at making Westerners and particularly Americans more familiar and understandable. The simple novel and simple poetry may be the best instruments. Emphasis should be given to the egalitarianism of American life, to family stability, and to its moral, idealistic, and cultural qualities. Obviously not all publications of the types described can be financed with the available IIA funds, and individual projects will, of course, require Department approval before their actual initiations. It is in the following fields, however, we believe projects can be most fruitfully developed. A second category should be aimed at emphasizing the specifically liberal, democratic, and humane aspects of American government and economic order. The writing of the Revolutionary period, selections from Jefferson, Lincoln, Wilson, and Roosevelt, simple American histories, biographies of national heroes, an account of TVA are examples.

b.

119

c.

d.

A third should emphasize the independence of American economic development from imperialism. A simple account of American relations with the Philippines might be in order. A fourth should emphasize persistent American friendliness for and interest in the Arab world. Accounts of American philanthropic activities in the area, Wilsons support of self-determination, the growing interest in Arab history and civilization, the Point Four program, are all suitable themes. An especial effort should be devoted to publications that emphasize U.S. neutrality between Israel and the Arabs, and awareness of Arab rights in the controversy, and a determination to help the whole area achieve stability and prosperity.

2. Related to helping the Arabs achieve a sound and comprehensive world picture n which they may play a respective role may be mentioned: Brief encyclopedias and other reference works. College texts in the general field of world history, contemporary international affairs, economics, and related matters. c. One category of this general group would be works on contemporary history that would help place the Arab world in Western journals like Foreign Affairs, Pacific Affairs, the Middle East Journal, etc., would be desirable, as well as a thoughtful but simple written series of books. d. Similar general works on population and food would be useful. Castros The Geography of Hunger comes to mind, as do the economics surveys ECOSOC and FAO. Resources for Freedom (the recently issued report of the Presidents Materials Policy Commission) is another example to be considered. Any work placing the Arab economic situation it its realistic world frame would be desirable. e. Essential in this category is material clarifying current Russian tyranny and imperialism, especially as it affects the Middle East, Islam, and the opportunity for freedom and rational selfdevelopment in nations it controls. 3. Related to aiding Arabs in the acquisition of insights into the character of responsible government, of public, social and economic policy, and of economic organization. Here I am not thinking of publications whose purpose is to convey the actual techniques, but of those aimed at conveying the understanding of social (including political and economic) organization in terms that are viable in the present Arab situation. a. Simple materials on democratic processes, on taxation, on social security, on land policy, on soil conservation, on labor organization, on cooperative, on farm organizations, on government irrigation policy, on a. b.

120

rural health services, on educational theory and practice are all desirable to the end. b. Also useful would be a body of material aimed at a more realistic knowledge of economics, especially the economics of development on the Point Four sense. A general work at the elementary level on economics, and others on agriculture economy, transport, and world trade would be helpful. c. Especially useful would be works recounting the experience of similarly situated countries in achieving a stable and socially responsible governmental and economic organization. Turkey is perhaps the best example, but India, Indonesia, and perhaps the Philippines and Pakistan afford useful material. Indigenous materials of those countries is best, and should not, of course, have tone of superiority to the Arab area. 4. Finally, works related to or embodying the central themes of Western thought from Plato onward, with especial emphasis on those most-eloquently stating the Western ideals of the dignity and freedom of individual man. The most practical approach here may be through anthologies and series of selections. a. Under this heading might be a simple general work on the history of Western philosophy, a series of selections or and anthology of Western political thought, and the texts of a carefully selected halfdozen works embodying contemporary thought. Also to be included here would be some treatment of science as a mode of thought perhaps Conants recent work, perhaps a selection from Deweys essays, perhaps some of Whiteheads less difficult essays.

b.

A somewhat difficult problem is imposed by the question of technical and scientific publications. It is not believed to be an appropriate use of IIA funds to sponsor the publication of such materials except in terms of their psychological significance. Funds are separately allotted to the Department under the Mutual Security Act to enable it to carry on in these area technical assistance activities that are devoted to the actual improvement of the productivity and economic level of the area. You will undoubtedly encounter a large local demand to produce a great deal of material of this sort; and there is no reason why you should not do so in those instances in which you believe, and we concur, that the proposed project will serve a psychological purpose-that is, will affect the attitudes on public issues of the people of the area. You should consult on this point very closely with the Point Four mission in the field, and it may be that Franklin Publications can go father and produce for them materials whose primary justification is actual economic sediment. Obviously the two objectives go hand in hand, an dit would be highly desirable that Franklin Publications should have a wellrounded line in the this field, but I do not feel free to approve the use of IIA funds for large-scale operations the primary purpose of which is clearly technological. One possibility is cooperative undertaking in which the Arab countries themselves may

121

undertake to defray a large part of the local production costs of scientific and technical publications which Franklin Publications could help them select, edit, and procure rights for, etc. I should be very glad to see our funds used to support this type of operation in which a close cooperation with ministers of education might be established. There is no need to confine operations of the project to the translations of the works of American authors. The publication of suitable writing by indigenous authors should be actively developed and an especially good use may be made of publications emanating from other countries with similar problems (e.g., Pakistan). Other Western publications may be used to whatever extent they serve our objectives. Sincerely yours, Dan Lacy Director Information Center Service Cleared in draft with IPO- Mr. G.H.

Professor Louise S. Robbins wrote Publishing American values: the Franklin Book Programs as Cold War cultural diplomacy, in which she relates in great detail the history of the company, when and where in the Middle East it operated and on whose money. She also discussed many of the types of information and books that were published by the company over the years and brings a very human element to the care, concern, and constraints related to the environment in which it operated.

TPAJAX CIA History

Pg. 1 - (U) "ZENDEBAD, SHAH!": THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY AND THE FALL OF IRANIAN PRIME MINISTER MOHAMMED MOSSADEQ, AUGUST 1953 Scott A. Koch History Staff Central Intelligence Agency Washington, DC June 1998 CL BY: CL REASON: DECLAS ON: DRV FROM: 217605 1.5(c, d) XI, X5 LIA 3-82, Met 31-87

[Editorial Commentary: What follows is a highly biased view of the political events surrounding CIA Operation TPAJAX (or the 28 Modaq Coup as is known in Iran) from the CIAs perspective. Right off the bat we find the disingenuous lack of enterprise on CIA Historian Dr. Scott Kochs part seeing he is unable to bring himself to utter that earth-shaking phrase Coup dtat, perhaps in fear the seismic ripples might undermine the integrity of the oil regions oil-drilling platforms. He instead settles on the much more palatable phrase, the fall of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq. The words Coup dtat do however appear in a footnote around page 13 of the document. Perhaps I should not be hard on the author as I am sure he was working under government restraint so to speak when writing this. Note there are many redacted paragraphs and lots of pages missing. The document is also presented in a haphazard fashion, pages out of order, some with original page numbers at the bottom, some without page numbersin my view in a highly unprofessional manner that shows either our government simply does not have its act together or they really dont give a damn about open government. And the narrative of Dr. Scott A. Koch proves to be quite arrogant at times. General David Patraeus should really make an effort to clean this mess up. I am not sure what purpose it serves to write up a history that is too sensitive to share with the nation. We can only hope that those outer space aliens that were written up in the Majestic 12 Project will one day share this information with us, but that would make them conspiracy theorists, what? At one point in this document, Koch quotes controversial historian Stephen E. Ambrose, whose career was somewhat diminished in his later years in life due to the discovery in his lifetime body of work numerous distortions of fact, outright lies, and plagiarism found in his work. One would think that the CIA should have known this about Ambrose as this particular document was written in 1998, four years prior to Ambroses death. But maybe they didnt because much of Ambroses plagiarisms and inaccuracies were exposed in 2001 and 2002. But in

123

America, we award those that toe the line rather than tell the truth, thus Mr. Ambrose was awarded the National Humanities Prize in 1998, and in 2000, the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service. He also received a half dozen other awards along the way to include the Will Rogers Award. Of course Will Rogers was known for getting up on stage and spinning a good yarn.]

Edward Shirley's Know Thine Enemy: A Spy's Journey into Revolutionary Iran recounts several conversations he had with Iranians while traveling through that country. One asked Shirley for help: (U) 'Americans should help us. Your secretary of state was spit upon by Khomeini. He calls Iran the most evil state in the world, but he does nothing. Unless you want Iranians thinking that you like the mollahs, you should bring them down. The British put them in, and America should drive them out. The young Shah, he

124

[Balance of Page Redacted] Pg. 5 (U) Source and Classification Note [Redacted Paragraph] (U) I have also examined relevant records from the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the National Security Agency. These records were not as plentiful or as helpful as I had hoped. I was nonetheless able to fill in some gaps with documents from these organizations. The vast majority of surviving documents on the operation itself remain {grammatical error} with the CIA, but for reasons provided below even these are not as numerous as one might expect. [Redacted Para.] (U) Copies of cables sent [Redacted] during the operation also were among the files the Division destroyed in its attempt to gain more filing space. At the time, the copies were already nine years old and no one thought that they were important. A record copy may have remained in the Agencys former Cable Secretariat for some time, but such records too have long since disappeared in routine house cleanings. An extensive search of CIAs archives has failed to uncover any surviving copies. Pg. 6. (U) A problem with this thesis is that Mossadeq's Iran was not moving toward democracy. The Prime Minister's increasing political isolation and the fragmentation of the National Front, as documented above, had weakened his position and made him desperate. His dictatorial grab for power from the Majlis alienated his former allies and gained him new political enemies. Iran was, to repeat Iran specialist Kuross Samii's apt metaphor, "an old ship swept away by a storm with no one on board capable of dealing with the attendant frenzy."10 (U) In fact, Khomeini's revolution was a reaction against secularism, modernization, and the Shah's misrule, not a push for a return to the. National Front. The streets of Tehran rang with shouts of fanatical support for Khomeini rather than nostalgic calls for Mossadeq. The Ayatollah was not interested in Mossadeq or the things he stood for. The last thing Khomeini wanted was a secular government with multi-party participation. He would have called for fundamentalist revolution against any government, including a National Front or Tudeh Government, that promoted modernization, the emancipation of women, and secularization.

125

(U) Edward Shirley, the former CIA DO employee who journeyed through revolutionary Iran, argues that the revisionist thesis also underestimates the role the clerics played in TPAJAX. Without the support of Ayatollahs Kashani and Behbehani, Shirley doubts the covert political action could have succeeded. What the ayatollahs did in 1953 with American and British help, they might have been able to do later without such help. Alternatively, given Mossadeq's growing political weakness and isolation from Iranian society, the clerics may have defeated him and the National Front in general elections. (U) In short, according to Shirley, the 1953 aborted-democracy theory is appealing, but is "too convenient in its diabolization of the CIA and M16, and too Persian in its determination to make someone else responsible for failure." [Redacted Para.] Pg. 7 Copyright Notice This publication contains copyrighted photographs that may not be reproduced or used further without explicit written permission from the copyright holder. Pg. 8 - [Redacted Para] (U) American Universitys Amos Perlmutter belongs to the school of thought that considers Mossadeqs fall inevitable regardless of Western actions. In a forward to Zabihs The Mossadegh Era: Roots of the Iranian Revolution Perlmutter writes that the CIAs role in these climactic events was not very significant, despite some of the heavily unsubstantiated claims of the old boys such as Kermit Roosevelt. (U) To a large extent, the return of the Shah and the downfall of Mossadegh were made possible by divisions among the political forces of the left and right, the left split among nationalists, Marxists and Communists and the right split among the reactionary and xenophobic clergymen and their more liberal counterparts.8

(U) Perlmutter is correct in saying that Iranian political divisions made the fall of Mossadeq possible, but merely because something is possible does not ensure that it will happen. CIAs role was significant. Without Kermit Roosevelts leadership, guidance, and ability to put some backbone into the key players when they wanted to quit, no one would have moved against Mossadeq. Iran had many political factions but few legitimate leadersand even fewer leaders with the discipline and will necessary to take risks.

(U) A key difference between Mossadeq and his domestic opponents was his ability to control the streets. Although much of th e National Front had deserted the Prime Minister, the Tudeh, by this time Irans only disciplined political party, rallied to him when its aims and Mossadeqs coincided. Tudeh demonstrations intimidated the opposition and kept the army on the sidelines. Mossadeqs opponents would have unable to overcome these disadvantages without outside help. (U) The notion that Mossadeq would have fallen anyway ignores the realities of Iranian politics. No group was able, without help, to contest control of th streets of Tehran with the Tudeh.

By 1950 the British oil concession in Iran, which the Shah had renewed in 1949, was a sore point in relations between the two countries. In March 1951, when Mossadeq was a member of the Majlis (the Iranian Parliament), he submitted a bill, which the Majlis quickly passed, nationalizing the AIOC. He signed the bill into law on 1 May 1951, just three days after the Shah appointed him Prime Minister. Nationalization went into effect on 2 May 1951 and was made retroactive to 20 March 1951. (U) AIOCs nationalization brought Mossadeq and Iran into immediate conflict with Britain. The British government owned half of AIOCs stock and did not intend to let Mossadeq nationalize its assets without adequate compensations as required under international law.14 (U) Britain Responds to The Antics of Incomprehensible Orientals (U) The two countries tried to resolve the dispute, but differing negotiating styles and the personalities involved hindered these efforts.

He and millions of Iranians believed that for centuries Britain had manipulated their country for British ends. Many Iranians seemed convinced that British intrigue was at the root of every domestic misfortune. In 1951 Mossadeq told US. Special Envoy W.

Secure in the knowledge that the US would support Iran against the USSR, the Shah was able to turn his attention to domestic matters. He began a series of far-reaching modernization efforts, including land reform and steps toward the emancipation of women. (U) TPAJAX came at a time when the events in pre-war Europe were a fresh memory. American had seen how Nazi subversion could destroy a country like Czechoslovakia. They had seen the consequences of weakness and appeasement before Nazi and Japanese demands. They had suffered the incalculable cost of failing to act when action might have stopped further aggression. Many were determined never again to let the appearance of weakness and indecision encourage aggression. (U) Neither the White House nor State Department had the slightest doubt that the Soviets coveted Iran and would do whatever they could, short of war, to bring that country within the Soviet orbit. The Azeri crisis of 1947 showed that unless checked, Stalin would continue to test the Wests resolve. (U) Stalins death in 1953 added a dangerous element of ambiguity to Soviet intentions. Who would succeed the late dictator, the breaker of nations?3 Would Soviet policy become more or less aggressive? Would the Soviets reoccupy Iranian Azerbaijan? Would they encourage the Tudeh to topple Mossadeq? The White House, the State Department, and CIA struggled to find answers to these questions. (U) Sending American troops to Iran was never a practical option for logistical and political reasons. An American military occupation almost certainly would have led to war. The USSR would have invoked the terms of the 1921 Treaty of Friendship Between Iran and the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic and occupied the northern part of the country. Iran would have been divided into a Communist north and free south. Fear of partition lay behind Washingtons objection to the proposed British occupation of the port city of Abadan early in the oil nationalization crisis. (U) A covert political operation promised to attain American foreign policy and strategic in objectives Iran without the threat of war. DIA gave the Eisenhower administration flexibility where diplomacy ad failed and military action was not practical. In Addition, CIA gave the US Government plausible deniability.

He insisted that the Shah should reign and not rule. To that end, he worked to enhance the power of the Majlis at the Shahs expense. The flash point came in July 1952, when Mossadeq resigned during a dispute over whether the Shah or the Prime Minister should appoint the war minister. (U) During the elections for the 17th Majlis earlier in the year, votetampering by the Iranian Royal Court had convinced Mossadeq that the governments survival depended on the control of the military. On 16 July he demanded the right to appoint himself minister of war. The Shah refused and Mossadeq resigned.19 Mossadeq appealed directly to the public and accused the Shah of violating the Constitution. (U) Mossadeqs resignation initially appeared to be a shrewd political move that underscored his mastery of Iranian politics and his ability to gauge and exploit public opinion. The Shah appointed Ahmad Qavam, Prime Minister during the Azeri crisis with the Soviet Union in 1947, to succeed Mossadeq. In response, the National Front, a broad coalition formed in 1949, organized mass demonstrations in Tehran demanding Mossadeqs return. The demonstrations turned violent69 people died and more than 759 were injuredbut the Shah refused to use the police or the military to restore order. Qavam lacked broad support and was unable to organize counter-demonstrations. For five days the National Front controlled the streets of Tehran and other cities. On 21 July 1952 the Shah bowed to the pressure and replaced Qavam with Mossadeq.20 (U) Once back in power, Mossadeq struck back at the Shah and the military. He transferred Reza Shahs lands back to the State, appointed himself Minister of War, forced the Shahs twin sister Princess Ashraf to leave the country, and forbade Mohammed Reza Pahlavi from communicating directly with foreign diplomats.

As support for Mossadeq narrowed, the Tudeh would soon be the only group willing to take to the streets on his behalf. (U) Ayatollah Kashanis defection and increased squabbling among the deputies effectively paralyzed the Majlis. Opposition politiciansincluding former Mossadeq allies like Kashaniblocked the Prime Ministers legislation. In early June 1953, fistfights broke out in the Majlis. The Prime Minister won a temporary victory when Abdullah Moazemi, a Mossadeq supporter, succeeded Kashani as speaker in a close Majlis vote (41 to 31) on 1 July 1953. Mossadeq recognized, however, that the Majlis was hopelessly deadlocked and that dissolution and new elections were necessary to break the stalemate.27 (U) Under the Iranian constitution only the Shah could dissolve the Majlis. The government could request him to do so. Mossadeq knew the Shah would not agree to such a proposal, so he devised a plan to achieve the same end. He asked all National Front members and supporters to resign, which they did, and

131

simultaneously announced the dissolution of the Majlis. The Iranian people, he held, could ratify or reject his decision in a referendum on the theory that popular will superseded the constitution. Iranian scholar Ervand Abrahamian has noted the irony in Mossadeqs rationale. Mossadeq, the constitutional lawyer who had meticulously quoted the fundamental laws against the shah, Abrahamian wrote, was now bypassing the same laws and resorting to the theory of the general will.28 (U)From 3 to 10 August 1953, Iranians voted on Mossadeqs bold and unconstitutional act. The results of the rigged election were never in doubt. Mossadeq purposely excluded rural areas from the balloting, ostensibly because it would take too long to count the votes from remote areas. The ballot was not secret, and there were separate polling places for yes and no. In the end, Mossadeq claimed victory, gaining over 2,043,300 of the 2,044,600 ballots cast throughout the country and 101,396 of the 101,463 ballots cast in the capital.29 (U) The dissolution of the Majlis and the tainted referendum alienated Iranian liberals and conservatives alike. Jamal Imami, a pro-British member of the Majlis, warned that Mossadeq was leading the country toward anarchy. Ayatollah Kashani declared the referendum illegal under Islamic religious law. At his trial in late 1953, Mossadeq defended his actions on the ground of popular sovereignty.

The West might well lose so much of its influence that it could not stop Tehran from moving (errormissing word (to)) the Soviet orbit. Or the Iranian political situation could simply descend into chaos, in which case the Soviet-backed TudehIrans best organized, best financed, and most effective political organizationwould be ready to fill the vacuum. In the State Departments view, such developments would jeopardize the security and stability of the entire Middle East, would serve notice that the West could not preserve the independence of important Third World states, and could deprive the West not only of Irans oil but ultimately that of its Arab neighbors as well.49

(U) In contrast, the British regarded Iran as basically a conservative country that would not seek Soviet help nor collapse internally if London held out for the kind of oil settlement it wanted. The British also feared that bad settlement (one not on their terms) would severely diminish their global political and economic power, already starting to decline with the post-World War II emergence of independence movements in much of the British empire.50 (U) The only suggestion for resolving these differences offered in the State Departments internal memorandum further consultation to determine the political, military, economic, and psychological effects of the loss of Iran to the west as balanced against the political and economic effects of an agreement with the Iranians on the oil situation which might prejudice other concessions elsewhere and diminish British prestige throughout the world. The memorandum concluded that unless the US and the United Kingdom agreed on the importance to the West of an independent Iran, there was little chance the two would be able to forge a common policy.51 (U) Eleven months later the National Security Council set forth basic US policy toward Iran. NSC 136/1 emphasized that the United States was committed to preventing Iran from falling under communist control and that Irans strategic position, its oil, and it vulnerability to Soviet political subversion or military attack made it a tempting target for Soviet expansion. If the Tudeh Party seized or attempted to seize control of the Iranian government, the document argued, the United States should, in conjunction with the British, be ready to support a non-communist Iranian government militarily, economically, diplomatically, and phychologically.52 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------48 49

When the Shah checked into the Excelsior Hotel, Dulles was standing next to him trying to do the same thing. (U)John Waller remembers that he got a call from Frank Wisner between 0200 and 0300. Wisner was agitated. Hes gone to Rome, Wisner told Waller. A terrible, terrible coincidence occurred. Can you guess what it is Waller could not. (U) Well, Wisner continued, he went to the Excelsior Hotel to book a room with his bride, and the pilot, there were only three of them, and he was crossing the street on his way into the hotel. Guess, can you tell me, I dont want to say it over the phone, can you imagine what may have happened? Think of the worst thing you can think of that happened. (U)Waller said, He was hit by a cab and killed. (U)No, no, no, no, Winer responded impatiently, by this time almost wild with excitement. Well, John, maybe you dont know, that Dulles had decided

140

to extend his vacation by going to Rome. Now can you imagine what happened? (U)Waller answered, Dulles hit him with his car and killed him.: (U)Wisner did not think it was funny. They both showed up at the reception desk at the Excelsior at the very same moment. And Dulles had to say, After you, your Majesty. (U)The meeting between Dulles and the Shah was completely fortuitous but fraught with embarrassment for the US Government and CIA had the news media learned of it. They did not, so the incident passed unnoticed. Wisners reaction strongly suggests that the meeting was coincidental. It was unlikely that he would have called Waller at 0200 in a panic and revealed sensitive information over an open telephone line if there had been a plan for the DCI to meet the Shah in Rome.26 [Redacted para.] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------26

Iranian officers considered legaland would obeyany order of the Shah coming from the Chief of Staff. The officer corps considered the Shahs silence about the Chief of Staffs actions as implied consent. Failure to follow orders even under these conditions was tantamount to treason. The American military attachs concluded that if the Shah opposed the Chief of Staff, or if the Chief of Staff with the Shahs support opposed the Prime Minister, Mossadeqs control of the Army would evaporate.29 [Redacted para.] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------28 (U)Ibid. 29 (U)Ibid.

In his memoirs, the Shah said: However, following the pre-arranged plan, the Queen and I had left Tehran before learning of the revolutions success. It had been decided weeks before that if Mossadegh should use force to resist his deposition, we would temporarily leave the country. I had decided upon this move because I believed that it would force Mossadegh and his henchmen to show their real allegiances, and that thereby it would help crystallize Persian public opinion.

Shaban Jafari CIA Henchman In CIA documents related to the 1953 Coup dtat of democratically elected President Mohammad Mossadegh, Shaban Jafari is referred to as a popular Iranian athlete. According to former U.S. Ambassador to Iran, Dr. John W. Limbert in his 2009 book entitled Negotiating with Iran, Wrestling the Ghosts of History, Shaban Jafari was a street thug paid by the CIA with U.S. tax dollars to intimidate the supporters of President Mossadegh during the second coup attempt which began on Aug. 16th and ended on the Aug. 19th. The initial attempt which began on Aug. 14th had failed to deliver Mossadeghs resignation.
The CIA reportedly channeled money to Ayatollahs Kashani and Behbehani and publicized the shahs original decree dismissing Mossadegh and appointing Zahedi in his place. The notorious gang leader Shaban Jafari (Shaban the brainless) also organized anti-Mossadegh demonstrations among the mobs of south Tehran.

The following is a Persian send-off for Jafari on the announcement of his death in 2006 from the weblog My Unedited Life written by Mrs. Roya Parsay who is the niece of the first female minister of Iran, FarrokhRu Parsay. Her remembrance is based on the oral testimony of family and friends, to include her own father and that of Dr. Ahmad MatinDaftari, who served as Irans Prime Minister from Oct. 26th, 1939-June 26th, 1940 and was an eye-witness to the events of the coup as they unfolded on the ground.
He was the man who has reputation of stabbing people with a knife or sending his gang members to stab people. Some say he was a child abuser too, but the most disgusting thing he did was stabbing Dr. Fatemi, the best friend of Mossadegh and his comrade. While Dr. Fatemi's hands were tied by Savak, Shaboom Jafari stabbed him. He also helped the Shah to come to power and Mossadegh was sent to prison for life in his house in Ahmad Abad. We condemn him for that and for that matter we condemn Mrs. Homa Sarshar for writing a book about him and calling him a hero, making the name of heroes bad. A woman that could have written about the suppression of women in Iran chose to write about a man who stabs people when their hands are tied. Pro-Mossadegh people will never forgive Shaboom Jafari (Bimokh=NO BRAIN). [Editorial note* - statement grammatically edited for clarity.]

Iran Politics Club President Obama, Ambassador Limbert and the Politics of Appeasement On the previous page I quoted from a book written by former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Iran in the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Dr. John Limbert. One might be inclined to assume a diplomat with his credentials would have a readymade solution to Irans problems that would be acceptable to all parties involved in the current crisis. This however does not appear to be the case. Within the Persian community there are a wide range of views on Iranian politics and many of them are unknown to the broader American public due to mainstream U.S. media censorship and IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran) propaganda. One of the most dominant views of the Persian people living in the United States is that the Islamic regime must go as they are an anathema to democracy. On this point I whole-heartedly agree; I however do not agree to wholesale slaughter just because I disagree with ones point of view. In my book, any religious regime is an anathema to democracy whether that is one run by a slate of Islamic mullahs or a congress of Southern Baptist zealots. Here in Texas we have on occasion been exposed to the extreme views of some members of the religious right. It is amazing how many Bible-thumping Baptist politicians preach the Gospel of Jesus to their Sunday school classes, preach the Gospel of family values to the masses up in Austin, and then come deer hunting season, head for the nearest whore house south of the border to preach the Gospel of free love while sowing the seed of man so to speak while forgetting all about their betrothed, beloved, and now betrayed back home. And while the good Texas men-folk are trollamollandering for trollops and white tail, the little wifey, whom hubby believes to be that same straight-laced cheerleading Suzy-homemaker that he married the day they graduated from high school, is in fact taking advantage of hubby being gone deer hunting and is pleasuring ole Jose, the Mexican gardener, in the pool house in the afternoons and exploring her wild-side with hubbys best friends over at the downtown Marriott Hotel bar in the evenings. Texas Baptists are some of the most hypocritical religious zealots ever to walk the planet earth. If you ever visit the State House up in Austin on Congress Avenue you may wish to take a spray bottle of Lysol with you. No telling what has passed though the hands of some of those

149

politicians. The foul smell of seedy back room pandering permeates the joint. Hypocrisy in politics is nothing new though and the same goes for international politics and the same goes for the politics of the Middle East and the Near East where a media propaganda battle is being played out in United States in order to sway U.S. policy, U.S. politicians, and the U.S. people to one particular viewpoint or another. American politicians have a bad habit of attempting to find a consensus view or come up with a middle of the road solution they believe will appease everybody. There are times when appeasing everybody is not a good thing. This is the stupidity embedded in the politically correct ideology of both liberals and conservatives that play the game of big money politics. Conservatives have no more right to harp on political correctness when stuffing their pockets full of greenbacks than do liberals. The real answers only come from facing reality head on and dealing with issues in a just manner. One cannot claim to stand for Womens Issues and an Islamic Fundamentalist Regime at the same time. I personally do not believe in the United States interfering in the politics of other nations. But I also do not believe in starting something and then not finishing it, and then abandoning our allies to murder by oppressor. We have let so many good people down around the globe that our reputation as a nation has suffered because of it. In 1978 when the student movement swept through Iran, no one could be sure of the outcome until the outcome became apparent. When a regime, whether it be the regime of a Shah or the regime of a Religious Zealot must execute members of the opposition in order to maintain or come to power, it is a clear sign that the power or the regime in charge is illegitimate. The Shah of Iran had people executed, so did Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini when he took over. Iran needs to be free from both legacies in my view, but again, I am not Persian and am not the one that has to live with the result of whatever form of leadership the nation ultimately chooses. I can only state that I do not want my tax dollars being spent foolishly for political expediency and quick political fixes that perpetuate the results of our past mistakes. I also do not want the United States waging war on behalf of this group or that group in order to appease a wide range of views between of world citizenry. And I do not wish the United States to be the host of proxy wars between the dissatisfied parties. Go somewhere else if you want to kill each other off. There is way too much collateral damage in war. Smart bombs dont have a high enough IQ to keep them from going astray and stray bombs are ultimately policy killers and democracy killers. What good is

150

it to bomb the Ayatollahs back to the Stone Age if we bomb thousands of innocent people in the process, therefore creating a new problem and a new group of American-hating fanatics? The problem we Americans face today in our foreign policy is a direct result of the short-sighted policies and kow-towing of previous administrations, such as Truman did when he bowed to the demands of the Zionists and allowed the racist state of Israel to become a nation, or when we kow-towed to Britain and joined in their Coup dtat of President Mossaddegh. We bear much of the responsibility for the mess the Middle East now finds itself in. Thus we bear the responsibility of helping to fix the problem. But this cannot be accomplished if we continue to look at every problem in the region through an Israeli lense, or an anti-Islamic lense. Not all Baptists are wacko bible-thumpers and not all Islamists are terrorist misogynists. And not all Persians will agree with my views, but they will most certainly agree with me that we are not looking at this problem through a Persian lense as it should be. While we are on the subject of culture, I will also state that I dont like it when folks come to America and take from its bounty, enjoy its freedom and then return home and bash it or attempt live here and mold it into some mini-version of wherever it is they came from. If you want to move to America, then prepare to become an American, dress like an American, and live like an Americanto hell with Chinatowns, Korean towns, and mini-Mexicos. Liberals can stick their multi-culturalism up their arces. That doesnt mean I wont respect an individual and be willing to learn about their background and culture. What it means is I dont want special rules being set out in our law books or special privileges being granted in our schools for this culture or that culture. If you want to cover your face with hijab, go back to your own country and do so. The worst offenders of this kind of nonsense were the American Jews in early part of the 20th Century. Many Americans dont know this because most simply dont take the time to delve into our nations real history. Henry Ford wrote a great article on this subject matter in the Dearborn Press entitled How the Jews Use Power. In this article there is a sub-section entitled Attacks on Christianity. Most American Christians today do not realize that the same two-faced Jews that are attempting to sway Christians to join them in pre-meditated Holy-land Worship, have been stabbing them in the backs for years. Lets take a look at the facts that Henry Ford disclosed to the American people back in 1923:

151

[Beginning of Henry Ford Transcript]

Previous to the formation of the Kehillah and the Jewish Committee, this sort of attack on the rights of Americans was sporadic, but since 1906 it has increased in number and insistence. Under cover of the ideal of Liberty we have given the Jews liberty to attack Liberty. What America has been tolerating is intolerance itself. Let us look rapidly down the years and see one phase of that attack. It is the attack upon Christianity. Here are a few items from the record. They are recorded over a period of years following the rise of Jewish power in America: 1899-1900. The Jews attempt to have the word "Christian" removed from the Bill of Rights of the State of Virginia. 1906-1907. The Jews of Oklahoma petition the Constitutional Convention protesting that the acknowledgment of Christ in the new State constitution then being formulated would be repugnant to the Constitution of the United States. The Jews force "The Merchant of Venice" to be dropped from public schools in Texas, Ohio. 1907-1908. Widespread demand by the Jews for the complete secularization of the public institutions of this country, as a part of the demand of the Jews for their constitutional rights. Supreme Court Justice Brewer's statement that this is a Christian country widely controverted by Jewish rabbis and publications. Jews agitate in many cities against Bible reading. Christmas celebrations or carols in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Paul and New York met with strong Jewish opposition. 1908-1909. Protests made to Governor of Arkansas against "Christological expressions" employed by him in his Thanksgiving Day proclamation. Professor Gotthard Deutsch protests against "Christological prayers" at the high school graduating exercises at Cincinnati. Jewish community in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania defeats resolutions providing daily Bible reading in schools. Local Council of Jewish Women of Baltimore petitions school board to prohibit Christmas exercises. Boycotts were instituted in New York against merchants who opened on Saturday. Special efforts at this period to introduce the idea of the Jewish Sabbath into public business. Jews refused to sit as jurors in court, thus postponing cases.

152

1909-1910. On demand of the Jews, the school board of Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, votes to discontinue the recitation of the Lord's Prayer in the school. In Newark, New Jersey, the rabbis ask the night schools to discontinue Friday evening sessions, because the Jewish Sabbath begins at sundown on Friday. The work of introducing the idea of Jewish national holidays into public life especially active. 1910-1911. An attempt to have Hebrew officially recognized was frustrated by Supreme Court Judge Goff. Chicago Jews have election date changed because the official date fell on the last day of the Passover. Jews oppose Bible reading and singing of hymns in Detroit schools. Rabbis force Hartford, Connecticut, school board to drop "The Merchant of Venice" from reading list. New York Kehillah does two contradictory things; favors bill to permit Jews to do all kinds of business on Sunday, and pledges itself to co-operate in the strict enforcement of the Sunday laws. 1911-1912. Jews in Passaic, New Jersey, petition school board to eliminate Bible reading and all Christian songs from the schools. At request of a rabbi, three principals of Roxbury, Mass., public schools agree to banish Christmas tree and omit all references to the season from their schools. A Jewish delegate to the Ohio Constitutional Convention suggests that the Constitution be made to forbid Christian religious references in schools. The Council of the University Settlement, at the request of the New York Kehillah, adopts this resolution: "That in the holiday celebrations held annually by the Kindergarten Association at the University Settlement every feature of any sectarian character, including Christmas trees, Christmas programs and Christmas songs, shall be eliminated." 1912-1913. Jews at Jackson, Tennessee, seek an injunction to prevent the reading of the Bible in City schools. Annual Convention Independent Order B'nai B'rith at Nashville, Tennessee, adopts resolution against reading of the Bible and singing Christian songs in public schools. Chicago Board of Education, scene of much Jewish agitation, approves recommendation of sub-committee to remove Christmas from the list of official public holidays in schools.

153

1913-1914. The energies of the Jewish powers were concentrated on the task of preventing the United States from changing the immigration laws in a manner to protect the country from undesirable aliens. 1914-1915. More Kehillah attempts to secure modification of the Sunday laws. 1915-1916. Jewish opposition to various movements towards making the schools free to use the Bible. 1916-1917. Jews busy carrying out an immense campaign against the "literacy clause" of the Immigration Bill. On demand of the Jews the New Haven Connecticut, Board of Education prevents the reading of "The Merchant of Venice," and extends the prohibition to "Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare." 1918-1919. Provost Marshal Crowder, in charge of the Selective Draft U.S. Forces, had issued an order to all medical examiners, under direction of the Surgeon General, stating "The foreignborn, especially Jews, are more apt to malinger than the nativeborn." Louis Marshall, head of the American Jewish Committee, telegraphed demanding that the "further use of this form shall be at once discontinued." President Wilson ordered the excision of the paragraph. The United States Shipping Board sent an advertisement to the "New York Times," calling for a file clerk and stating that a "Christian" was preferred - by which is meant always a non-Jew the paper rejected it. Louis Marshall again went into action and protested to Bainbridge Colby, Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of State, demanding "Not because of any desire for inflicting punishment, but for the sake of example and the establishment of a necessary precedent this offense should be followed by a dismissal from the public office of the offender, and the public should be informed the reason." Attention is called to the tone which the American Jewish Committee adopts when addressing high American officials in the name of Jewry. It is not to be duplicated in the addresses of any other representative of any other race or faith. The Plattsburg Manual, published for officers in the United States officers' training camps, contained the statement that "the ideal officer is a Christian gentleman." The A J.C. at once protested against "Christological manifestations," and the Manual was changed to read "the ideal officer is a courteous gentleman."

154

The Anti-Defamation Committee claimed that 160 American cities had excluded "The Merchant of Venice" from the public schools. 1919-1920. The Kehillah was so successful in its campaign that it was possible for a Jewish advertiser in New York to say that he wanted only Jewish help, but it was not possible for a non-Jewish advertiser to state his non-Jewish preference.

And so it goes on, year after year, right up to the present day. The incidents quoted are typical not occasional. They represent what is transpiring all the time in the United States as the Jews pursue their "rights." There is no interference with Jewish ways and manners. The Jew may use his own calendar, keep his own days, observe his own form of worship, live in his own ghetto, exist on a dietary principle all his own, slaughter his cattle in a manner which no one who knows about it can approve - he can do all these things without molestation, without the slightest question of his right in them. But, the non-Jew is the "persecuted one." He must do everything the way the Jew wants it done; if not he is infringing on Jewish "rights."
[http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/ij_ch7.htm] [End of Henry Ford Transcript]

And today, the Jews involved in American public education are shoving multiculturalism down our throats and in our public schools, yet one would be hard pressed to find a student of Jewish origin in a public school. It is my opinion that unless you attended public schools and have your kids in public schools, you should keep the hell out the business of public schools. Read into the backgrounds of most of the big names being worshipped in the U.S. public school reform movement and one will find they are mostly of Jewish ancestry. What gives? Do Jews really have all the answers? What the Kehillah was doing for the Jews at the turn of the century, the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, and World Jewish Congress is doing for them now. Here is the history of the Jewish Kehillah as Henry Ford presented it in 1921:

155

[Beginning of Henry Ford Transcript]

HOW THE JEWS USE POWER Two organizations, both of which are as notable for their concealment as for their power, are the New York Kehillah and the American Jewish Committee. The Kehillah is the most potent factor in the political life of New York; it is the organization which today wields so large an influence on the rest of the world, which consciously issues a program which on one side is pro-Jewish and on the other anti-Gentile. It is the central group, the inner government, whose ruling is law and whose act is the official expression of Jewish purpose. It offers a real and complete instance of a government within a government in the midst of America's largest and politically most powerful city, and it also constitutes the machine through which pro-Jewish and anti-Gentile propaganda is operated and Jewish pressure brought to bear against certain American ideas. That is to say, the Jewish government of New York constitutes the essential part of the Jewish Government of the United States. The word "Kehillah" has the same meaning as "Kahal," which signifies "community," "assembly" or government. It represents the Jewish form of Government in dispersion. In the Babylonian captivity, in Eastern Europe today, the Kahal is the power and protectorate to which the faithful Jew looks for government and justice. The New York Kehillah is the largest and most powerful union of Jews in the world, the center of Jewish world power has been transferred to that city. That is the meaning of the heavy migration of Jews all over the world toward New York in recent decades. It is to them what Rome is to the Catholic and what Mecca is to the Moslem. The Kehillah is a perfect answer to the deceptive statement that the Jews are so divided among themselves as to render a concert of action impossible. That is one of the statements made for Gentile consumption. All experience shows, even to the most casual observer of Jewish activities, that the capitalist and the bolshevik, the rabbi and the union leader are all united under the flag of Judah. Touch the conservative capitalist who is a Jew, and the red communist who is also a Jew will spring to his defense. It may be that sometimes they love each other less, but altogether they hate the non-Jew more, and that is their common bond. The Kehillah is an alliance, more offensive than defensive, against the "Gentiles." It is a strange and impressive spectacle which the Kehillah presents, of a people of one racial origin, with a vivid belief in itself and its future,

156

disregarding internal differences, to combine privately in a powerful organization for the racial, material and religious advancement of its own race, to the exclusion of all others. The American Jewish Committee came into being in 1906. There had been a government investigation into the "White Slave Traffic," the result of which was a direct set of public opinion into channels uncomplimentary to the Jews, and a defensive movement was begun. The Kehillah organized protests against the statement by General Bingham, then police commissioner of the City of New York, that 50 per cent of the crime in the metropolis was committed by Jews. Very soon afterward, General Bingham disappeared from public life, and a national magazine of power and influence which had embarked on a series of articles setting forth the government's finding in the White Slave investigation was forced to discontinue after printing the first article. The Kehillah has mapped out New York just as the American Jewish Committee has mapped the United States, and practically every Jew belongs to one or more lodges, secret societies, unions, orders, committees and federations. The list is a prodigious one. The purposes interlace and the methods dovetail in such a manner as to bring every phase of American life not only under the watchful eye, but under the swift and powerful action of experienced compulsion upon public affairs. At the meeting which organized the Kehillah a number of sentiments were expressed which are worthy of consideration today, Judah L. Magnes, then rabbi of Temple Emanu-el, chairman of the meeting, set forth the plan: "A central organization like that of the Jewish community of New York City is necessary to create a Jewish public opinion," he said. Rabbi Asher was loudly applauded when he said: "American interests are one, Jewish interests are another thing." The delegates at the first open meeting in 1906 represented 222 Jewish societies - religious, political, industrial and communal. Just over a year later the number of Jewish organizations under the jurisdiction of the Kehillah aggregated 688, and in 1921 well over 1,000. When the aggressive program of the Kehillah to make New York a Jewish city, and through New York to make the United States a Jewish country, was announced some of the more conservative Jews of New York were timorous. They did not expect that the American people would stand for it. They thought the American people would immediately understand

157

what was afoot and oppose it. There were others who doubted whether the same Kehillah authority could here be wielded over the Jews as was wielded in the old country ghettos. An official of the Kehillah wrote: "There were those who doubted the ultimate success of this new venture in Jewish organization. They based their lack of belief on the fact that no governmental authority could possibly be secured; in other words, that the Kehillah of New York could not hope to wield the same power, based on governmental coercion, as the Kehillahs of the Old World." There is much in this paragraph to indicate the status of the Kehillah in Jewish life. Add to this fact that all the Jews who entered America lived under the Kehillahs of the old world, whose power was based on coercion, and the situation is simple. Regimentation, the destruction of individual liberty which has risen to curse the world, is the basic principle of Jewish government of the Jews, by the Jews. What else can happen when world government of the Gentiles by the Jews for the bankers becomes established? However, the misgivings of some Jews were not justified. The Americans made no protest. The Kehillah went ahead with its campaign and America submitted. New York became Jewish. American life, American thought, and American politics, became Jewish-dominated in the decades that followed. But with it all, the Jews exhibit a sense of the insecurity of this usurpation of power. It does not belong to those who have seized it; it does not belong either by right of numbers, or by right of superior ability, or yet by right of a better use made of that power. They have taken power in America by audacity; they have taken it in such a way as to make resentment of it seem like an anti-racial movement - and that is why they have held it as long as they have. That is the only way to explain the meekness of the Americans in this matter, and it also accounts for the sense of insecurity which even the Jews feel in the position they hold. The American is the slowest person in the world to act on any line that savors of racial or religious prejudice. This makes for a seeming aloofness from matters like the Jewish Question. This also leads uninformed public men to sign protests against. "anti-semitism" which are really designed to be protests against the publication of Jewish facts. The foundation, organization and rapid success of the Kehillah in New York is an object lesson set in the sight of the world, as to what the Jew can do and will do when he exalts himself to the seat of rule. As to the Kehillah being officially representative, it may be added that the Kehillah has in it representatives of the Central Conference of

158

American Rabbis, Eastern Council of Reform Rabbis, Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, Independent Order of B'rith Shalom, Independent Order of Free Sons of Israel, Independent Order of B'rith Abraham, Federation of American Zionists - orthodox Jews, reform Jews, "apostate Jews," rich Jews, poor Jews, law-abiding Jews and red revolutionary Jews. At the 1918 Convention there were present: Jacob H. Schiff, banker; Louis Marshall, lawyer, president of the American Jewish Committee; Adolf S. Ochs, proprietor of the "New York Times"; Otto A. Rosalsky, judge of the General Sessions Court; Otto H. Kahn, of the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb and Company - AND -- Benjamin Schlesinger, who had lately returned from Moscow where he had a conference with Lenin; Joseph Schlossberg, general secretary of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America; Marc Pine, also a recent consultant with the Bolshevik rulers of Russia; David Pinski; Joseph Barondess, labor leader. The high and the low were there; the first world war was closing, the Russian revolution had been won. Judge Mack, who headed the War Risk Insurance Bureau of the United States Government, and the little leader of the reddest group in the East End - they all met in the Kehillah, as Jews. Adolph Ochs of the great "New York Times" together with the most feverish scribbler on a Yiddish weekly that calls for blood and violence, all of them of all classes, bound together in a solidarity which has been achieved by no other people so perfectly as by Judah. Banded together for the purpose of "protecting Jewish rights."* THE JEWISH DEMAND FOR "RIGHTS" IN AMERICA What rights have Americans that Jews in America do not possess? Against whom are the Jews organized and against what? What basis is there for the cry of "persecution"? None whatever, except the Jews' own consciousness that the course they are pursuing is due for a check. The Jews always know that. They are not in the stream of the world, and every little while the world finds out what Judah always knows. The program of the Kehillah was ostensibly to "assert Jewish rights." No Jewish rights have ever been interfered with in America. The expression was a euphemism for a campaign to interfere with non-Jewish rights. The New York Kehillah is the pattern and parent Jewish community in the United States, the visible entourage of the Jewish government, the dynamo which motivates those "protests" and "mass meetings" which are frequently heralded throughout the country, and the arsenal of that kind of dark power which the Jewish leaders know so well how to use. It is the "whispering gallery," where the famous whispering drives are originated and set in motion and made to break in lying

159

publicity over the country. The liaison between this center of Jewish power and the affairs of the people of the United States is made by the American Jewish Committee. The Committee and the Kehillah are practically identical as far as the national Jewish program is concerned. Through their foreign associations they are also identical as far as the world program is concerned. The United States is divided into 12 parts by the American Jewish Committee and every State belongs to a district headed by the most powerful and representative Jews. The Committee represents the focusing point of the religious, racial, financial and political will of Jewry. It is also the executive committee of the New York Kehillah. New York Jewry is the dynamo of the national Jewish machinery. Its national instrument is the American Jewish Committee. Among its direct leaders and supporters today are the owners of powerful newspapers, officials in Federal, State and City administration, influential office holders on public boards and corporations, members of the judiciary and police departments, financiers and heads of banking houses, mercantile and manufacturing establishments, labor leaders and political party organizers of all colors. There are certain announced purposes of these associations, and there are certain purposes which are not announced. The announced purposes may be read in printed pages; the purposes not announced may be read in the records of attempted acts and achieved results. To keep the record straight let us look first at the announced purposes of the American Jewish Committee, then of the Kehillah; next at the line which binds the two together; and then at the real purposes as they are to be construed from a long list of attempts and achievements. The American Jewish Committee, officially organized in 1906, announced itself as incorporated for the following purposes: To prevent the infraction of the civil and religious rights of the Jews in any part of the world. To render all lawful assistance and to take appropriate remedial action in the event of threatened or actual invasion or restriction of such rights, or of unfavorable discrimination with respect thereto. To secure for Jews equality of economic, social and educational opportunities. To alleviate the consequences of persecution wherever they may occur, and to afford relief from calamities affecting the Jews. It is an exclusively Jewish program. The Charter of the Kehillah empowered it, among other things, to establish an educational bureau, to

160

adjust differences between Jewish residents or organizations by arbitration or by means of boards of mediation or conciliation; while the Constitution announces the purpose to be: "To further the cause of Judaism in New York City and to represent the Jews in this city with respect to all local matters of Jewish interest." Where the American Jewish Committee and the Kehillah join forces is shown as follows: Committee was a national organization, the Jewish Community (Kehillah), of New York City, if combined with it, would have a voice in shaping the policy of Jewry throughout the land. It is expressly understood that the American Jewish Committee shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all questions of a national or International character affecting the Jews generally."

It will be seen, therefore, that the Kehillah and the American Jewish Committee are one. The capital of the United States, in Jewish affairs, is New York. Perhaps that may throw a sidelight on the efforts which are constantly made to exalt New York as the spring and source of all the thoughts of the day. (Editor's Note: and now the seat of the United Nations system of world government)! New York, the Jewish capital of the United States, has been made the financial center, the art center, the political center of the country. But its art is oriental sensuousness, its politics those of a Judaized Tammany. It is the home of anti-American propaganda, of pro-Jewish hysteria, a mad confusion of mind that now passes all over the world as the true picture of America. The doctrine with which so large a mass as the citizens of America have been inoculated is making havoc with the whole American program today. It is "broadening" America out of all semblance to its distinctive self and blurring out of recognition those determining ideals and ideas on which American institutions were based. JEWISH RIGHTS" CLASH WITH AMERICAN RIGHTS This study of the Jewish Question in the United States is not based upon religious differences. The religious element does not enter except when it is injected by the Jews themselves; they persistently inject it in three ways: First, in their allegation that any study of the Jews is "religious persecution"; second, by their own records of what their

161

activities in the United States consist of; third, by the impression which is very misleading if not corrected, that the Jews are the Old Testament people. The Jews are not the Old Testament people and the Old Testament can be found among them only with difficulty. They are a Talmudical people who have preferred the volumes of rabbinical speculation to the words of the ancient prophets. In this series of articles we have set aside every non-Jewish statement on this religious question, and have accepted only that which proceeds from recognized Jewish sources. It has been most illuminating, in studying the proceedings of the New York Kehillah and the American Jewish Committee, and their affiliated organizations, as represented by their activities throughout the country, to find how large a part of these activities have a religious bearing, as being directly and combatively antiChristian. That is to say, when the Jews set forth in the public charters and constitutions of their organizations that their only purpose is to "protect Jewish rights," and when the public asks what are these "Jewish rights" which need protection in this free country, the answer can be found only in the actions which the Jews take to secure that "protection." Thus interpreted, "Jewish rights" seem to be summed up in the "right" to banish everything from their sight and hearing that suggests Christianity or its Founder. It is just there, from the Jewish side, that religious intolerance makes its appearance.
[End of Henry Ford Transcript]

One may be suspect of Fords motivations but one cannot deny historical facts. This scares the hell of Abe Foxman and those like him that are unable to adequately censor the internet to their own bigoted satisfaction. One of the most interesting websites I ran across when researching for this book is iranpoliticsclub.net. The website owner is a Persian that has been living in America since the days of the Iranian student movement in 1978, a revolution that became a nightmare. Ahreeman, the websites owner came to America to attend college and then dived into the American dream the old fashioned way and experienced the land of opportunity from the ground up, literally. Ahreeman runs one of the few Persian sites that allow unfettered conversations to be carried out by all participants in the debate over the future of Iran within the Persian community and beyond. Ahreemans describes his site and notes its objective as follows:

162

IPC as a largest Iranian Website in the world, as an independent media and not part of the Iranian Media Mafia. Is set to serve the Iranian Opposition. IPC is at the disposal of the Iranian Opposition and Freedom Fighters of Iran. IPC is here to protect and serve, to propagate and expose the IRI Lobbying in America. IPC is bounded to support the Iranian Opposition and this puts us at war with Hezbollah. This war will continue until the total destruction of the Islamist Regime of Iran and establishment of a free secular democratic federal republic of Iran.

Reading not only the articles written by Ahreeman, but also those of his guest writers, I have received an enlightening education on the disparate views on the subject of Iranian politics. The views of both the Obama administration as well as the views of Ambassador Limbert have been challenged on his site. Many Persians see the Obama Administration views as promoting an intolerable policy of appeasement to an evil empire. I highly recommend one read through the documents and writings on this website as it will surely expose the reader to a whole new perspective on the debate. What I found enlightening is the effort that has been made by the sites founder to expose the propaganda efforts of the Islamic regime. What I also like is the fact that the sites founder allows others to express their views, but he is equally willing to express his own even though his may very well differ from those of other writers on the site. For instance, the founder of IPC does not necessarily see eye to eye with a group known as MEHR.org, (Mission for Establishment of Human Rights in Iran). In an open letter from MEHR.orgs President, Mohammad Parvin, we learn the following about Ambassador Limbert and the Obama Policy from Parvins view:
John Limbert, along all other individuals and lobby groups, has deliberately reduced the US\IR relations to two extremes of either military intervention or friendly relationship. The solution is neither the military intervention against Iran nor dialogue with the Islamic Regime. There is a third option that, if adopted, can eliminate the danger of this regime for the entire world. A smart sanction against the religious dictatorship in Iran will send a clear and strong message to the Iranian people that the world community is with them and is willing to weaken their enemy. This will empower the Iranian people and will advance their nonviolence struggle and civil disobedience towards establishing a secular regime.

In an article by IPCs founder entitled, we learn his views on the Obama Administration and how it is handling the Iranian situation and the War on Terror:
War on Terror has been declared; however, Hussein Obamas Regime is pussyfooting around with the terrorists; furthermore, Washington DC shows urges to flirt and meet with the terrorists (Ahmadinejad, Chavez, North Korea, IRI, IRGC, Hezbollah, etc.). While Obamas Socialist Regime is flirting with the terrorists, bending over backwards for Islamists and welcoming the IRI Lobby Groups in the wide arms of the American Family, we the Iranian Opposition have a crucial duty and a much difficult task to battle the Islamist Beasts abroad (Iran Internet Crime Police) and the domestic IRI Agents in Suits and Ties (IRI Lobby Groups in USA). Through his appeasement policies, Hussein Obama has provided nourishment for the blooming State Sponsor Terrorists (IRI, Syria, North Korea, etc.) and Nourishing Islamist Terrorist Organizations (Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.) around the globe, while at the same time his incompetent liberal regime is welcoming and empowering the Terrorist Lobby Groups in America (IRI Lobby Groups in USA). Hussein Obama is not commander in chief but he is Enemy of the State. Hussein Obama has brought to power by American Liberal Media, Special Interest (George Soros, etc.), Corrupt Labor Unions (AFL, CIO, etc.) and Arab Oil to destroy US Constitution, US Capitalism, US Exceptionality in the globe and to make sure that US seizes drilling her own oil, so she can stay dependant to the Arab Oil. Hussein Obamas job during the last 2 years, has been bowing to the Arab Kings, Bending Over Backwards for Muslims, Destroying the Social Fabrics of America by trying to replace them with Euro-Pee-On Socialism and indeed going around the globe and conducting his American Apology Tour! Hussein Obama will be remembered as the worst president in the history of America. I never thought that someone can possibly top Carter, but obviously Obama did!

The lobby groups Ahreeman refers to as the Iranian Media Mafia include a long list of Iranian media sites that he believes are designed to promote appeasement of the IRI. The following URL links to his article on this subject matter: [http://iranpoliticsclub.net/movement/mediamafia/index.htm]

164

According to Ahreeman the goals of the IRI media propagandist are as follows:
What is Their Goal? To monopolize the Iranian Media any which way they can, so they will be the only voice heard by the Iranians, hence they can effect and brainwash the Iranian minds in to the Liberal Reformist mindset. You see, inside Iran, they have a systematic method of brainwash through schools, propaganda, mosques and even speakers on the intersections of the main streets, but in exile they allow their media to do this chore! Methods To create cheesy mottoes such as: No War - Make Love, Let Us Unite, Can we all get along? etc To form coalitions, to promote pacifism, to lobby in US Congress, to preach tolerance for all and all to inject in public's brains that: Islamic Republic of Iran is misunderstood, must be tolerated and any change must come from Reforms from within the Islamic System! So they portray the Blood thirsty IRI as a Reformable Regime, but their hidden agenda is not a regime change but to prolong the life of the Islamic Republic of Iran so the business can go on as usual. Reformists scoop as low as using immoral business practices and forming coalitions of Big Boys to keep the outsiders, out forever! Always remember: Hezbollah is Hezbollah, may they be Fundamentalists, Moderates or Reformists.

IPC founder Ahreeman also provides a whos who list of IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran) lobbyists and propagandists: [http://iranpoliticsclub.net/movement/pahlavi-IRI/index.htm]

Ahreeman believes the Islamic revolutionaries in Iran should be physically wiped out and sent scurrying like rats back to their Mosques. While I am all for sending the Mullahs and their followers back to the Mosques where they belong and eradicating religious extremism, I believe it must not be unilaterally directed at Muslims alone. If it is to be done, it must be done to all religious extremists, including Talmudic Jews, Fundamentalist Baptists, and any other war-mongering people of faith attempting to shape the world at the point of a gun or race-based law and usurpation of power. The only difference between how these three groups set about controlling folks is their methodology. The Mullahs do it by Edicts, Fatwahs, and Religious based law. The Jews do it by Religious based law, race-based support of Israel, the Usurpation of foreign government power and in this case I am speaking about the

165

control of the U.S. government as a foreign power to Israel, a government which is no longer able to distinguish itself from the government of Israel due to Zionist influence. The Baptists and other weak-kneed Christian groups have acquiesced to Jewish control of their affairs, both religious and secular. The extreme elements of all three groups treat their women like chattel.

The Day that Reza Khan was forced in to exile to Africa, he took a handful of Iranian soil with him. When he came, Iran was shattered and destroyed. When he left, he only took a handful of soil from the Modern Iran, which he had built. Photo & Text - IranPoliticsClub.net Interview with Ahreeman

Interview with Ahreeman

Founder of Iran Politics Club.net

Now it is one thing to describe another fellers point of view, but I prefer having it up front from the party of the first part so the voice isnt filtered by the party of the second part; therefore, after having read dozens of articles on the Iran Politics Club website, I sent Ahreeman an email to inquire whether or not he would be open to answering a few of my questions. He graciously granted me the interview and emailed back his answers. [Transcript] Ahreeman: On the short notice, quick responses without elaborations: Question: Had the British accepted the fact that Iran's oil belonged to Iran and stepped back, where do you thing Iran would be today? Ahreeman: Oil was nationalized with or without Mossadeq. Eventually Shah played a role in it later on. The better question to ask is: On 28 Mordad, 1953, if the CIA / MI6 Coup would have not occurred and Mossadeqs regime would have remained in power, then where would Iran be today? I used to believe that if 28 Mordad did not occur, then Iran would have been worst off! Now I believe that if 28 Mordad would have not occurred, Iran would be better off! Why you ask? Worst Scenario: Tudeh Communist Party would have seized control and pushed Mossadeq and Jebhe Meli aside. Iranian Marxist Regime as a satellite of USSR would have been at least progressive and people would have been more educated; therefore, on 1979 they would have not made an Islamic Revolution. Best Scenario: Mossadeq would continue rule either as a Democratic Regime or as a Nationalist Semi Dictatorship regime in the form of Constitutional Monarchy or Republic. Either way, Iran would have moved towards democracy and the Absolutist Imperial Dictatorship would have not resulted in suffocation and as a backlash an Islamic Revolution would have not occurred.

167

Have in mind that I am an Anti Mossadeq and Anti Jebhe Meli, yet I still believe Iran would have been better off today, if the 1953 Coup would have not occurred. Question: Were you born in Iran? and if so, what are you best memories, what are your worst? Ahreeman: Yes I was born in Iran. First 16 years of my life until 1979 was spent there. A Best Memory: Riding my dads 1965 Classic convertible Ford Thunderbird right by the Caspian Sea Shores on the sand with my wild girl and guy cousins and friends riding along. Afterwards hanging in Port Pahlavi (Todays Anzali) Boulevard, dinner at Hotel and then hit the Nightclub dancing with live Rock music during our early teen years. A Worst Memory: 1978 street to street rumble with Hezbollah and Khomeini thugs, while writing Anti Khomeini graffiti on the walls, predicting that these Islamist Baboons would take over the nation and turn the progressive Iran in to an Islamic Shiite Hole while we could do nothing about it! It was fighting a lost battle!

Question: Should American Iranians or exiled Iranians be involved in the "American way" of putting together exiled coalition governments and therefore becoming future American puppet regimes? Or has American gotten so powerful that this is the only way forward? (I read your piece on the pots of money being tossed out by the State Dept. and the CIA) Ahreeman: With the present situation of the Iranian Opposition as the most disunited opposition in the world, the only way to bring IRI down is the US military invasion/occupation of Iran. Whatever part of opposition willing to participate is welcomed and whatever part does not participate so be it. There is no other solution. You could have not bring the Nazi Germany down only by wishful thinking that the German opposition could succeed! A total war was needed. IRI is similar to Nazi Germany. I do not see invasion and liberation of Iran as American Imperialism but I see it as the only solution left. CIA wastes a lot of money supporting the irrelevant so-called opposition while they have to support effective opposition inside and outside. CIA has no clue who to support and they have been wasting money for decades supporting leaches and career exilists in the west.

168

Question: Would you move back to Iran if it had Democratic government? Do you think most Persians living in Iran would move back or stay here? Answer: Yes I will. I have big plans for the future regime. My first task would be drafting a task force to kidnap and drag all IRI Lobbyists and Agents in America and UK back to Iran to be put on public trials (Like Capture of Nazi Criminals, MOSSAD Style) and then to take care of these baboons who lived like kings in the west serving as IRI 5th Column in the west while the average Iranian had to hold 2 or 3 jobs only to make ends meet. What you mean is if most Iranian Americans (2.7 million) would return or stay in America? Majority will stay in America. They are not political people and they do not care what happens to Iran. The minority will return to rebuild Iran. Question: Which individuals if killed by the U.S. Governmentsay a typical stray drone-fired missile or two, or maybe 200would cause the Islamic government to collapse? Do you think the U.S. Government already has such a hit list? Ahreeman: IRI will not collapse by a hit list of 200 people. A good 2 million people will fight to death for IRI. Their lives depend on the regime. Fundamentalist, Moderate or Reformist Hezbollah makes no difference; they will all defend this regime. They know very well that if this regime goes, this may be the end of Islam and Islamic government in Iran. IRGC, Qods, Basij, Ansar Hezbollah and their satellites including Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrians, Shiite Afghans, Shiite Iraqis, Foreign Legion of IRGC, etc. will fight to death to save IRI because if Mullahs go, they go. I have no problem eliminating 2 million Iranian Hezbollah to save the other 73 million inside and 7 million outside.

Why CBS Cannot be Trusted

In the Introduction to Part IV of this book, I lay out the history of how CBS came to be the go-to news organization when the federal government wants propaganda put forth to the American people. Here, I will present an example with documentation to back up this assertion. Eric Sevareid was a well known CBS news reporter during World War II. He was hired by Edward S. Murrow of CBS as a war correspondent. In 1943, he gained hero status amongst journalist for having bailed out of Curtiss-Wright C-46 Commando over Burma with a bottle of gin and a parachute. The plane had developed engine trouble. He was recovered behind enemy lines by a U.S. Air Force search and rescue team. After the war he continued on with CBS as a commentator on the evening news. Sevaraid became CBS European Correspondent from 1959-1961, and later became a contributor to CBS Reports, which was one of the first documentary shows of its time. What follows on the next page is the text of an internal White House memorandum sent to H.R. Bob Haldeman from Dwight R. Chapin in 1969 during the Nixon Administration. As a historical reference Halderman was President Nixons Chief of Staff, and Dwight R. Chapin was Deputy Assistant to Nixon. Chapin had worked for Nixon in the 1962 California gubernatorial race. While still in college, he was given a job with the J. Walter Thompson ad agency in L.A. where Haldeman was and agency executive. Haldeman was Nixons campaign manager. JWT today is considered the fourth largest ad agency in the world. Chapin returned to the advertising industry after doing a one year stint in prison for his involvement in running Nixons dirty tricks department during the 1972 Presidential Election. This all came out in the Watergate investigation. Chapin is purported to have run this department. Haldeman was also indicted for his role in the Nixon cover-up and served 18 months in prison. He was asked to resign by Nixon and would later beg him to give him a Presidential Pardon. Nixon, being a narcissist egomaniac, refused. Haldeman believed Nixon was involved in the Kennedy Assassination. Haldeman stated in his 1978 book The Ends of Power that Nixons recorded statement that the Watergate affair could open up the whole Bay of Pigs thing referred to the Kennedy Assassination. Hit men teams had been assembled to take out Castro. According to the testimonies of dozens of witnesses, President Nixon, President Lyndon B. Johnson, and FBI Director J.Edgar Hoover all had a hand in the assassination. Hoover and Johnson were poker buddies. According to Johnsons mistress, a woman who bore LBJ a love child, LBJ told her the night before the assassination that after tomorrow, I will never have to be humiliated by those SOBs again. She stated that LBJ had a

171

172

violent temper and suspected that he was behind the disappearance of her personal housekeeper after the housekeeper accidently caught a glimpse of LBJ and the mistress together in a hotel. What follows is the complete Wikipedia write-up on Madeleine Brown, LBJs mistress: Madeleine Duncan Brown (July 5, 1925 June 22, 2002) was born Madeleine Frances Duncan in Dallas, Texas on July 5, 1925. She was a businesswoman who worked for Glenn Advertising in Dallas. She is noted for her claim to have been the mistress of U.S. President Lyndon Johnson and for implicating Johnson in a conspiracy to kill President John F. Kennedy. Brown said that she met Johnson in 1948, following the death of her husband James Glynn Brown. She went public with the claim of a relationship with Johnson in 1997 a relationship that was considered "an open secret" in Texas. She also said that her son, Steven Mark Brown, was fathered by Johnson. Steven Brown was born December 27, 1950, and died September 28, 1990. On June 1, 1987 Steven Brown filed a 10.5 million dollar lawsuit against the former president's widow, Lady Bird Johnson claiming, "My legal birthrights have been violated and a conspiracy was formed to deprive me of my legal heir-ship."[1] Steven Brown died before the case could be settled. In the documentary The Men Who Killed Kennedy, Madeleine Brown and May Newman (an employee of Texas oilman Clint Murchison) both placed FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover at a social gathering at Murchison's mansion on November 21, 1963 the night before the assassination of President Kennedy.[2] Also in attendance, according to Brown, were John McCloy, Richard Nixon, George Brown, R. L. Thornton, and H. L. Hunt.[3] At the end of the evening, the sitting Vice President of the United States Lyndon Johnson arrived at the gathering. Brown gave this account:
Tension filled the room upon [Johnson's] arrival. The group immediately went behind closed doors. A short time later Lyndon, anxious and red-faced, reappeared. I knew how secretly Lyndon operated. Therefore I said nothing ... not even that I was happy to see him. Squeezing my hand so hard, it felt crushed from the pressure, he spoke with a grating whisper, a quiet growl, into my ear, not a love message, but one I'll always remember: "After tomorrow those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again that's no threat that's a promise."[4]

Brown also claimed to have seen Lee Harvey Oswald with Jack Ruby in the latter's Carousel Club prior to the assassination. In addition, Brown said that on New Years Eve 1963, Lyndon Johnson confirmed the conspiracy to kill Kennedy, insisting that "Texas oil and those fucking renegade intelligence bastards in Washington" had been responsible.[5][6]

173

Brown said that the plan to kill the President had its origins in the 1960 Democratic Convention, at which John F. Kennedy was nominated presidential candidate with Johnson as his running mate, where H.L. Hunt, an American oil tycoon, and Lyndon Johnson began to hatch the assassination plot:
When they met in California Joe Kennedy, John Kennedy's father, and H.L. Hunt met three days prior to the election they finally cut a deal according to John Currington (an aide to H.L. Hunt) and H.L. finally agreed that Lyndon would go as the vice president ... this came from the horse's mouth way back in 1960 when H.L. came back to Dallas I was walking ... with him ... and he made the remark, "We may have lost a battle but we're going to win a war," and then the day of the assassination he said, "Well, we won the war."[7]

Madeleine Brown died on June 22, 2002. Social Security records show the spelling of her name as Madeline F. Brown, and that she died in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.

The videos of recorded testimonies related to the Kennedy Assassination are available on Youtube. Here are links to the ones I found to be the most credible:

174

[http://youtu.be/VI07govlUqI] The Men Who Killed Kennedy, Contains the testimony of Col. Dan Marvin, CIA trained US Army Green Beret hitman. Marvin and those like him were trained to kill Vietnamese politicians and other communists for Operation Phoenix, a program designed and set up by the CIA to be used as a counterinsurgency operation during the Vietnam War. [http://youtu.be/bqL1ANq7VPM] The Men Who Killed Kennedy Contains the testimony of the former wife of the CIA mortician that was used to put Kennedys head back together with wax after the assassination. [http://youtu.be/70lOKs0Kr_Y] Testimony of Madeleine Brown, LBJs mistress. This is the most credible testimony ever given. Miss Brown has intimate knowledge of some Texas most famous men. Many of the men she names now have their names on public buildings and highways in Texas. When she talks about speaking with Lew Sterret, she is talking about the man the Lew Sterrett Justice Center in Dallas is named after. R.L. Thorton has two sections of Dallas freeway named after him, a school, and a statue in his honor. Clint Murchinson was the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, and H.L. Hunt was the richest oil man in Texas and purported to be the richest man in world at the time of the Kennedy Assassination. Not all of these men were involved with the assassination. They just happened to be members of the in crowd that Brown and LBJ partied with.

[Editorial Commentary: Richard M. Nixon was in Dallas, Texas on the day Kennedy was shot. Nixon had a peculiar way about showing up during and immediately after the toppling of democratically elected presidents back in the 1950s and 1960s. He just so happened to be in Iran the day after Mossadegh was deposed to meet with pro-Nazi General Fazlollah Zahedi, the man that was picked by the U.S. to be the new Prime Minister. Zahedi was given over $5 million U.S. dollars to pass around immediately following the coup in order to buy off anyone that wasnt quite on board yet. See photo on next page.]

DESIGNED AS A COORDINATED DRIVE AGAINST THE VIET CONG'S SHADOW GOVERNMENT SYSTEM BY VIETNAMESE AND AMERICAN FORCES, IT WAS CONTROLED BY THE UNITED STATES AND 12,000 AMERICAN CIVILIAN AND MILITARY PERSONNEL WERE INVOLVED IN IT AT THE HEIGHT OF THE WAR. "PHOENIX CAME UNDER ATTACK IN 1971 BECAUSE OF A SYSTEM OF QUOTAS WHICH ASSIGNED PROVINCIAL COMMITTES A SPECIFIED NUMBER OF VIET CONG "NEUTRALIZATIONS" EACH MONTH. CRITICS CHARGED THAT INNOCENT VICTIMS WERE KILLED TO FILL QUOTAS, AND THAT SOME VIETNAMESE OFFICIALS AND AGENTS ALSO USED THE SYSTEM TO SETTLE PERSONAL GRUDGES. "COLBY TESTIFIED BEFORE A CONGRESSIONAL SUBCOMMITTEE THAT TARGETS WERE KILLED ONLY WHEN THEY RESISTED ARREST. HE SUPPLIED FIGURES SHOWING THAT 20,587 VIET CONG SUSPECTS WERE KILLED UNDER THE PROGRAM FROM 1968 TO (GARBLE) VIETNAMESE OFFICIALS HAVE SAID TWICE THAT NUMBER WERE KILLED IN THE SAME PERIOD. "CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF THE PROGRAM UNDER ANOTHER NAME CAME TO LIGHT WITH AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT IN DECEMBER THAT ONE PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE HAD REPORTED FULFILLING 135 PER CENT OF ITS QUOTA OF NEUTRALIZATIONS FOR THE YEAR. "SAIGON GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS DECLINED TO COMMENT FURTHER ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT OR PROVIDE FIGURES FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, CITING GROUNDS OF "NATIONAL SECURITY". "ACCORDING TO SOURCES HERE, ABOUT 100 AMERICAN PERSONNEL ARE NOW INVOLVED IN MONITORING THE PROGRAM. THEY SAID THAT OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR WATCHING IT RESTS WITH A US AIR FORCE OFFICER ON DETACHED DUTY WITH THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN SAIGON.

THE STORY IS, OF COURSE, COMPLETELY FALSE. THE FACTS ARE

178

AS FOLLOWS: 4. THE STATEMENT THAT THE "UNITED STATES IS STILL INVOLVED WITH THE SUCCESSOR TO THE ILL-FAMED PHOENIX PROGRAM" IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. NO ELEMENT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS INVOLVED IN ANY WAY WITH ANY PROGRAM IN VIETNAM OF ANY SUCH DESCRIPTION. 5. CONTRARY TO WHAT THE ARTICLE CLAIMS, THERE IS NO "SPECIAL POLICE INVESTIGATING SERVICE" (SPIS) IN VIETNAM. THERE IS, OF COURSE, A SPECIAL BRANCH OF THE NATIONAL POLICE COMMAND, CONCERNED WITH SECURITY AND COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE MATTERS, WHICH WAS ORGANIZED ON BRITISH LINES AND IS SIMILAR TO ORGANIZATIONS EXISTING IN MALAYSIA, SINGAPORE, AND MANY OTHER (INCLUDING WESTERN EUROPEAN) COUNTRIES. THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAS NO ADVISORY RELATIONSHIPS TO THIS ORGANIZATION WHATSOEVER. THUS, THE STATEMENT THAT THE SO-CALLED SPIS "CONSISTS OF ABOUT 14,000 SPECIAL TROOPS WHOSE OPERATIONS ARE MONITORED ON A PART-TIME BASIS BY US CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA) OPERATIVES IN SAIGON AND PROVINCE CAPITALS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY"HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE TRUTH. 6. THERE IS NO "US AIR FORCE OFFICER ON DETACHED DUTY WITH THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN SAIGON." THERE IS NO OFFICER OF ANY KIND IN THE EMBASSY WITH ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR MONITORING ANY SUCH PROGRAM AS DESCRIBED IN THE ARTICLE. 7. WHILE THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE UNITED STATES EMBASSY TO COMMENT ON THE PHOENIX PROGRAM, IT MAY BE WORTH NOTING THAT THE PROGRAM ALREADY EXISTED WHEN MR. COLBY ARRIVED IN VIETNAM. HE DID NOT SET IT UP. THIS IS BY WAY OF COMMENTING ON THE GENERAL RELIABILITY OF THE STORY. UNCLASSIFIED PAGE 04 SAIGON 00393 111317Z IM THERE IS A "COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION" WHICH MAY BE MEANT BY THE "COMPUTER SCIENCES SERVICES, INC." MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE. A PREVIOUS US FUNDED CONTRACT BETWEEN COMPUTER SCIENCES AND THE NATIONAL POLICE WAS TERMINATED AS OF APRIL 1974 AND A CONTRACT WITH USAID WAS TERMINATED IN JUNE 1974. IN ANY CASE, THAT CONTRACT HAD NO RELATIONSHIP WHATEVER TO ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS THE PHOENIX PROGRAM. 9. AT THE PRESENT TIME, COMPUTER SCIENCES HAS A COMMERCIAL CONTRACT WITH THE VIETNAMESE NATIONAL POILICE IN LOGISTICS AND PERSONAL (PAYROLLING, ETC.) BUT IS ALSO UNINVOLVED IN ANY

179

COUNTERINSURGENCY OR OTHER OPERATIONAL MATTERS. THE PRESENT CONTRACT IS NOT FUNDED BY ANY ELEMENT OF THE USG. 10. THIS SORT OF REPORTING IS THE KIND OF SENSATIONAL STORY, TOTALLY UNRELATED TO THE FACTS, WHICH WE HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM UPI WHICH HAS IN RECENT MONTHS PRODUCED A STEADY STREAM OF MANUFACTURED FALSEHOODS ON VIETNAM AND VIETNAM RELATED SUBJECTS. ANOTHER RECENT EXAMPLE WAS THE UPI STORY DATELINED SAIGON ON THE SAILING OF THE ENTERPRISE (REFTEL 0211). 11. IT SEEMS TO US THAT THE SITUATION HAS REACHED A POINT AT WHICH DEPARTMENT SHOULD CONSIDER AN APPROACH TO UPI AT A SENIOR RESPONSIBLE LEVEL IN ATTEMPT INJECT SOME SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY IN REPORTING ON VIETNAMESE MATTERS.

The Confession of Madeleine K. Albright Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright Remarks before the American-Iranian Council March 17, 2000, Washington, D.C. As released by the Office of the Spokesman U.S. Department of State [Editorial Comment: What follows is a section of the speech Secretary of State Albright delivered as the United States attempted to reestablish diplomatic relations with Iran. In these paragraphs, she admits U.S. involvement in the overthrow of the Iranian democracy. She also displays a good deal of arrogance if the face of the realities of diplomatic causes and effect, that being her leveling blame on Iran for the problems between the two nations. She states at one point that there is blame on both sides. I find her remarks to be both trite and disingenuous, especially in the eyes of history. A nation such our United States has no right to expect our human rights to be respected when we do not honor the human rights of others. And sadly enough, our U.S. government just cant seem to help itself from repeating the same arrogant mistakes over and over and over again. The CIA backed Coup dtat that is spoken to below cost over 800 Iranian lives. There is no justification for such policy. We have now repeated our atrocities in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Over 600,000 Iraqi citizens have died since George W. Bush struck out to seek revenge for the hit put on his father by Sadam Husseins henchmen. Iran offered their hand in friendship to stop this from happening. We ignored it.]
As is evident in this room, Iranians have enriched the United States as well. Nearly a million Iranian-Americans have made our country their home. Many other Iranians have studied here before returning to apply their knowledge in their native land. In fact, some were among my best students when I taught at Georgetown School of Foreign Service. It's not surprising, then, that there is much common ground between our two peoples. Both are idealistic, proud, family-oriented, spiritually aware and fiercely opposed to foreign domination. But that common ground has sometimes been shaken by other factors. In 1953 the United States played a significant role in orchestrating the overthrow of Iran's popular Prime Minister, Mohammed Massadegh. The Eisenhower Administration believed its actions were justified for strategic reasons; but the coup was clearly a setback for Iran's political development. And it is easy to see now why many Iranians continue to resent this intervention by America in their internal affairs.

183

Moreover, during the next quarter century, the United States and the West gave sustained backing to the Shah's regime. Although it did much to develop the country economically, the Shah's government also brutally repressed political dissent. As President Clinton has said, the United States must bear its fair share of responsibility for the problems that have arisen in U.S.-Iranian relations. Even in more recent years, aspects of U.S. policy towards Iraq, during its conflict with Iran appear now to have been regrettably shortsighted, especially in light our subsequent experiences with Saddam Hussein. However, we have our own list of grievances, and they are serious. The embassy takeover was a disgraceful breach of Iran's international responsibility and the trauma for the hostages and their families and for all of us. And innocent Americans and friends of America have been murdered by terrorist groups that are supported by the Iranian Government. In fact, Congress in now considering legislation that would mandate the attachment of Iranian diplomatic and other assets as compensation for acts of terrorism committed against American citizens. We are working with Congress to find a solution that will satisfy the demands of justice without setting a precedent that could endanger vital U.S. interests in the treatment of diplomatic or other property, or that would destroy prospects for a successful dialog with Iran. Indeed, we believe that the best hope for avoiding similar tragedies in the future is to encourage change in Iran's policies, and to work in a mutual and balanced way to narrow differences between our two countries. Neither Iran, nor we, can forget the past. It has scarred us both. But the question both countries now face is whether to allow the past to freeze the future or to find a way to plant the seeds of a new relationship that will enable us to harvest shared advantages in years to come, not more tragedies. Certainly, in our view, there are no obstacles that wise and competent leadership cannot remove. As some Iranians have pointed out, the United States has cordial relations with a number of countries that are less democratic than Iran. Moreover, we have no intention or desire to interfere in the country's internal affairs. We recognize that Islam is central to Iran's cultural heritage and perceive no inherent conflict between Islam and the United States. Moreover, we see a growing number of areas of common interest. For example, we both have a stake in the future stability and peace in the Gulf. Iran lives in a dangerous neighborhood. We welcome efforts to make it less dangerous and would encourage regional discussions aimed at reducing tensions and building trust.

CIA Rigged Elections, Corporations for Assassins, & Not So Secret Spies
The New York Times March 31, 1997 Foreign Taint on National Election? A Boomerang for U.S.

In Lebanon in 1957, the CIA supported Christian parties with U.S. government money and donations by American oil companies that wanted to insure a friendly government in Lebanon, a pivotal Middle Eastern country. Wilbur Crane Eveland, a CIA officer, later described driving his gold and white DeSoto onto the grounds of President Camille Chamoun's residence in Beirut and delivering political payoffs. "Throughout the elections, I traveled regularly to the presidential palace with a briefcase full of Lebanese pounds, then returned late at night to the embassy with an empty twin case" to be replenished with CIA money, Eveland wrote in "Ropes of Sand" in 1980, a history of American policy failures in the Middle East.

[http://www.emayzine.com/lectures/usmeddling.htm]

In an article that appeared on pg. 28 in the Washington Report on Middle Eastern Affairs for March 1990, we learn more about CIA Operative Eveland:
After 1953, Eveland worked for the CIA as a troubleshooter for its chief, Allen Dulles. He became such an effective player in the Middle East arena that CIA political operative Miles Copeland said in his recent book, The Game Player, "I still think of the period 1957-60 as the Eveland Era of Arab-American politics." He is remembered as well for his informality, style and quick wit. Eveland was on a first-name basis with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and CIA top brass cousins Kermit and Archie Roosevelt. He knew Egyptian leader Gamel Abdul Nasser and the Shah of Iran. In his book he recounts involvement in such 1950s CIA covert activities as an attempt to rig elections in Lebanon and overthrow the Syrian government in Damascus. Eventually his work for the CIA was done on a contract basis, he said, to provide the agency with deniability for his actions. He was in Rome through most of the 1960s where, under cover as vice president of Vinnell Corporation, he carried Vinnell/Defense Department ID with GS-18 status, making him the equivalent of a lieutenant general. In the 1970s, Eveland nearly saw substantial wealth as vice president of the Fluor Corporation, but after tangling with some of the heavyweights in the world of

187

international business and politics, he landed penniless in a Singapore prison in 1976.

[In Memoriam, A Respectful Dissenter: CIA's Wilbur Crane Eveland By Mary Barrett][http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/0390/9003028.htm]

Once on the gravy train of the military industrial complex, companies such as Fluor and Vinnell are locked in for near guaranteed profit off the back of the American Taxpayer. It is in their best interest that we stay at war somewhere. Ex-CIA Director James Woolseys wife joined the board of Fluor in 2004. Back in 2003, when Fluor was submitting its bid for a multibillion dollar construction contract in Iraq (keep in mind the war hadnt started yetthey just somehow had great insight you see), it was brought out in the British newspaper the UK Guardian that Fluor was facing a multi-billion dollar lawsuit for its dark past (no pun intended) in Apartheid South Africa where they have been accused of brutalizing workers:
Lawyers acting for thousands of victims of the racist regime are to file a detailed suit in the US this week, which includes the claim that Fluor hired security guards dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes to attack unarmed workers protesting against poor pay and conditions. The action comes at an awkward time for Fluor, one of five firms controversially invited by the US government to bid for a $600 million contract to rebuild Iraqi roads and public buildings. John Ngcebetsha, a lawyer for former employees, said: 'This company has a long history of human rights violations in South Africa. It cares nothing about the societies in which it works and its involvement in Iraq would be disastrous.'
[http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2003/apr/06/iraq.theobserver]

The Vinnell Corporation is also still going strong after sixty years of sucking off the taxpayers tit. According to their Saudi website, they are currently looking for employees to help modernize the Saudi Arabian National Guard. Vinnell Corporation is headquartered in Arlington Virginia and is a division of Northrop-Grumman Corporation. Back during the Vietnam War, Vinnell had over 5000 personnel working in Vietnam. Although they were contracted primarily for logistics and construction, they were also involved in intelligence work, and it has been speculated that they may have provided cover for CIA sponsored assassination squads. You might call them the precursor to Blackwater USA, the private army that was run by Erik Prince, the ex-navy seal, who now lives in the

188

United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi where he is purportedly working working with another company called Reflex Responses which he denies owning, and was reported to be training anti-pirate squads. However it has been discovered that what he is really up to is training a private mercenary army for General Juma Ali Khalaf Al Hamiri, Head of HR and Administration, GHQ, UAE Armed Forces. In a press statement released on the United Arab Emirates News Agency website we find the following statement by the general:
Statement by General Juma Ali Khalaf Al Hamiri, Head of HR and Administration, GHQ, UAE Armed Forces

May 16, 2011 - 12:31 Abu Dhabi, 15 May 2011 (WAM) - General Juma Ali Khalaf Al Hamiri, Head of HR and Administration, GHQ, UAE Armed Forces, has made the following statement: The United Arab Emirates armed forces have been through an accelerated and extensive process of development and Emiratisation since their creation at the founding of the UAE four decades ago. The result is that the UAE armed forces have been able to make meaningful and significant contributions in theatres of operations such as Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan and most recently Libya. At the heart of the successful approach has been strong alliances within the international community and in part the sourcing of expertise through the private sector. International contractors providing planning, training, development and operational support have been integral to the successful development of what is a robust military capability of over 40,000 Emirati personnel at a high state of readiness. Importantly these third parties have also played significant roles in supporting the UAE Armed Forces in training Iraqi and Afghani security forces with the aim of contributing to the stability of both countries. The UAE armed forces currently engage a number of third parties, such as Spectre, which delivers academy training capabilities; Horizon, a pilot training partner and R2 which provides operational, planning and training support. As you would expect of a proactive member of the international community, all engagements of commercial entities by the UAE Armed Forces are compliant with international Law and relevant conventions.

The New York Times confirmed that the company the general was speaking of if connected to Prince. Apparently, Sheik Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan of Abu Dhabi hired Prince to the tune of $579 Million Dollars to train his goon squad or private army made up of mercenaries.
[United Arab Emirates Confirms Hiring Blackwater Founders Firm By EMILY B. HAGER and MARK MAZZETTI, Published: May 15, 2011 in the New York Times] [http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/15/world/middleeast/15prince.html?ref=middleeast]

189

Of course no one has really uncovered how it is that Prince is getting away with creating armies for making war on foreign soil when there is apparently a law on the books to prevent it? Perhaps this is something that the United State Congress should address. According to Mazzetti and Hager, Prince simply pays millions in fines and keeps on trucking. I suspect he has cut a secret deal backed by Obama and the CIA. He is a billionaire after all and his money is good in Washington just like everybody elses. When folks like him come to town and rent hotel rooms it is good for the local economy, OK? Princes old company, Blackwater has changed its name several times in an attempt to outrun its past. It went from calling itself Blackwater USA to Blackwater Worldwide to Xe Services LLC and is now operating as Academi. Prince sold the company to a group of investors back in 2010. Blackwater was hired to assassinate terrorists by the CIA back in 2009. The program purportedly never got off the ground. Ex-CIA Chief Leon Panetta admitted to its existence to a New York Times reporter. Thats just the way Panetta rolls. Hes got a big mouth and likes to talk. But then again, so do a lot of our so-called secret agent mennothing much secret about that though is there. Most folks on the whole get the urge to come clean before they die, especially if they have been involved in murder, including spies. It is now fashionable in the United State for morally corrupted politicians to out spies if it is deemed to be politically expedient. Bush Administration whores did it to Valerie Plume. Erick Prince claims it was done to him. You dont suppose the liberal thugs running the White House were getting some payback on the conservative thugs that just left now do ya? One day, hopefully the United States will have its honor restored but that will not happen until it begins teaching honor to its leaders, something that has somehow been lost along the wayside in American politics. The following URL will link the reader to the $579 Million Dollar contract that was set up between the GHQ Armed Forces of the United Arab Emirate, represented by Staff Major General Eissa Saif Mohamed Al Mazzoui (First Party) and Erik Princes proxy-company, Reflex Responses, that is supposedly owned by one Michael Roumy (Second Party). Keep in mind that Prince denies he owns this company, so for arguments sake we will assume Roumy owns it:
[http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/CONTRACT.pdf?ref=middleeast]

And according to a follow-up article by Mazzetti and Hager in the New York Times, Roumy denied to a Congressional inquiry letter that

190

Prince is involved in running the company. In his response to officials, he stated:

He is not an officer, director, shareholder, or even an employee of R2, wrote the companys president, Michael Roumi, referring to the company by its common name.

However, thats not the way others quite see it:

The former employees said that Mr. Prince took pains to mask his role in the operation, and that his name did not appear on contract documents between R2 and the U.A.E. that were provided to The Times. R2s origins and affiliations are unclear; most corporate records are not public in Abu Dhabi. R2s commercial license lists two other companies as partners, and the name of a third business was posted outside the office suite R2 had been using in the last year.
[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/world/middleeast/07prince.html]

Why would I bring all this to the readers attention, one might be inclined to ask. I bring it up because American citizens need to understand what is happening to our Democracy and our Republic. In my view, there is now a certain class of citizens to include banksters, and ex-intelligence types that seem to be getting away with murderliterally, and theft of U.S. taxpayer resources through connections, contracts, and esoteric knowledge of how to raid the U.S. Treasury when no one is looking. I am in hopes that when the reader is done with this book, he will have an uneasy feelingone that may propel him to begin a letter writing campaign to Congress. If we are to keep our Republic and our middle class way of life, we must act now before it is too late.

Is Islam a Threat?
From an Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser and the father of MSNBCs Morning Joe Co-host, Mika Brzezinski
[From an interview conducted by Le Nouvel Observateur, Paris, 15-21 January 1998, Posted at globalresearch.ca 15 October 2001, Translated from the French by Bill Blum] [http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/BRZ110A.html]

Question: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today? Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire. Question: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists? Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war? Question: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today. Brzezinski: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.

Iran: Time for a New Approach

Report of an Independent Task Force, July 2004 Sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations Zbigniew Brzezinski and Robert M. Gates, Co-Chairs Suzanne Maloney, Project Director [http://www.cfr.org/iran/iran-time-new-approach/p7194]

Excerpts from the Report: Why Iran Matters Iran thus lies at the heart of the arc of crisis in the Middle East. Its intricate political, cultural, and economic ties to Afghanistan and Iraqincluding long-standing involvement with opposition movements that have worked with Washington to establish successor governments in each countrymake Iran a critical actor in the postwar evolution of both countries. Its large endowment of natural resourcesapproximately 11 percent of the worlds oil reserves and the second-largest deposits of natural gaspositions Iran as an indispensable player in the world economy. Its status as the largest Shia state and heir to the first religious revolution in modern times means it heavily influences wider doctrinal debates surrounding Islamic governance and jurisprudence. Finally, Irans long history as a cohesive state with a tradition of constitutionalism and experience in representative government means that its political experience may prove a valuable model for any regional transition to a more democratic order.

CFR Staff Member Opinions of Report:

Richard H. Matzke,
In consideration of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligences report of July 7, 2004, on Iraq and 9/11, I believe the Council on Foreign Relations Task Force report on Iran should be very circumspect on what it concludes is happening in Iran. Until such time as U.S. intelligence is confirmed reliable, or Americans can be assured the administration has not distorted the intelligence it receives, the report should be very cautious on what it recommends based on the assumption its intelligence is correct. Furthermore, I would have preferred that the final report dealt with engagement, beginning with subjects of common interest to the United States and Iran, rather than suggesting that engagement selectively deal only with well-known but unconfirmed contentious subjects. It is certain Iran would have its own list of similar issues that the United States perceived to threaten its security. This is not a starting point for effective engagement. In a relative sense, in the region, I do not agree that Iran is an unstable country. In fact, it well may be the most stable. Although not quantified, it appears that those who have long been supported most aggressively by the United States have a much higher potential for instability than does Iran. The reports conclusion that isolation,

195

containment sanctions, and the like have failed as foreign policy practices by the United States is welcomed. And the conclusion that the United States should adopt measures to broaden political, cultural, and economic linkages with the people of Iran is even more welcomed. [Richard H. Matzke - is President of NESW Solutions; a member of the Board of Directors of OAO LUKoil, Russias largest oil company; former Vice Chairman of the Chevron Texaco Corporation; and Co-Chairman of the American Iranian Council.] Shaul Bakhash, I wish to stress that support for dialogue and diplomatic and economic relations between Iran and the United States does not imply acquiescence in the violation by the Iranian government of the civil rights and liberties of its own citizens. Some Iranians understandably fear that relations with the United States will reinforce the status quo and therefore regime durability in Iran. In fact, any study of Iranian history over the last century and more suggests that interaction with the outside world greatly accelerates, rather than hinders, the pace of internal political change. I believe enmeshing Iran with the international community, expanding trade, and improving economic opportunity and the conditions for the growth of the middle class will strengthen, not weaken, the democratic forces in Iran.

Frank Carlucci,
While I agree with the main thrust of the report I do not agree that the U.S. interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan may offer Iran new incentives to open a mutually beneficial dialogue. On the contrary, I believe Iran has few incentives for dialogue. They are convinced we intend to overthrow them, and they believe we are bogged down in Iraq and have lost what support we had in the Arab world. From their perspective, it is better to wait and let us stew in our own juice. Overtures on our part, under these circumstances, are likely to be interpreted as a sign of weakness and be rebuffed.

Facts About Iran

The Zionist Controlled Mainstream U.S. Media Will Not Tell You

Established the worlds first Monotheism Religion called Zoroastrianism, pre-dating both Judaism, and Islam. Iranians freed the Jews from slavery under the Babylonians. There is a thriving Jewish Community in Iran estimated to be between 35,000 to 50,000 people. Prior to the creation of Israel and the Iranian Revolution, the number of Jews living in Iran was over 80,000. Iran has not invaded another nation in 900 Years. Iran is a founding member of the United Nations. Iran has a population of 69,000,000 people. Human Rights were invented by Cyrus the Great during the Achaemenid Empire or the First Persian Empire. The Median Empire (Iranian) preceded the First Persian Empire Iranian inventions and firsts include algebra, guitar, coins, insurance eating utensils, ice cream, chariot, roads, taxes, Coins, insurance, welfare, postal system, the battery, hospitals, roads, taxes, poker, agriculture system, biscuit, the free market The Achaemenid Empire was an Iranian Empire The Cyrus Cylinder was discovered in 1879 by a team of archaeologists including Hormuzd Rassam of Mosul an Sir Austen Henry Layard which show Iran to have the first system of Human Rights. Cultural Controversy

The British Museum is now being run by a queer named Neil MacGregor who is attempting to reinterpret history to suit his kinder and gentler world view, and who appears to pander to Jewish patrons. This is important to note in the context that there is a religious battle being conducted amongst religious archaeologists whom are attempting to legitimize their own religious views. This fact has led to many frauds being perpetrated as things keep popping up from below ground that were buried there by religious zealots. MacGregor has also attempted to discredit the notion that the Cyrus Cylinder has anything to do with human rights, blather that is the typical tripe promoted amongst anglicized racists as they attempt to one-up the rest of the world with their historical interpretations. See video of MacGregors multiculturalism speech on Jewish website, Jewish Ideas Daily: [http://www.ted.com/talks/neil_macgregor_2600_years_of_hi story_in_one_object.html]

197

MacGregor uses the word jew which did not exist until the 18th century in the English language when bibles where being rewritten and printed in Europe. McGregor also pushes a political agenda of multiculturalism by claiming the Persian empire of Cyrus was a multicultural society. In his speech however, MacGregor does not mention the fact that the British Museum played politics with the Cyprus Cylinder by attempting to prevent the Cyrus Cylinder from going to Iran. In an article that appeared in The Telegraph UK, in February of 2910 entitled Iran severs cultural ties with British Museum over Persian treasure, it is noted that:
The Cultural Heritage Organisation has cut all its relations and cooperation with the British Museum. Hamid Baghaei, head of Iran's Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organisation, said the decision to keep the cylinder was unacceptable and politically motivated. Mr. Baghaei has reportedly said his organisation will send a letter of complaint to the United Nations' cultural body, Unesco. He has also threatened to write to all world museums to warn them against working with the British Museum. The British Museum said in September that it would be delaying the hand-over of the 2,500-year-old clay cylinder due to unspecified ''practicalities''.

Translated Text of the Cyrus Cylinder

Translated by Robert William Rogers (1864-1930) (...) his troops (...) quarters of the world (...) a weakling was established as ruler over his land and (...) a similar one he appointed over them, like Esagila he made (...) to Ur and the rest of the cities, a command dishonouring them (...) he planned daily and in enmity, he caused the daily offering to cease; he appointed [ . . . ] he established within the city. The worship of Marduk, king of the gods [ . . . ] he showed hostility toward his city daily [ . . . ] his people; he brought all of them to ruin through servitude without rest. On account of their complaints, the lords of the gods became furiously angry and left their land; the gods, who dwelt among them, left their homes, in anger over his bringing into Babylon. Marduk [ . . . ] to all the dwelling places, which had become ruins, and the people of Sumer and Akkad, who were like corpses [ . . . . ] he turned and granted mercy. In all lands everywhere he searched; he looked through them and sought a righteous prince after his own heart, whom he took by the hand. He called Cyrus, king of Anshan, by name; he appointed him to lordship over the whole world. The land of Qutu, all the Umman-manda, he cast down at his feet. The black-headed people, whom he gave his hands to conquer, he took them in justice and righteousness. Marduk, the great lord, looked joyously on the caring for his people, on his pious works and his righteous heart. To his city, Babylon, he caused him to go; he made him take the road to Babylon, going as a friend and companion at his side. His numerous troops, in unknown numbers, like the waters of a river, marched armed at his side. Without battle and conflict, he permitted him to enter Babylon. He spared his city, Babylon, a calamity. Nabonidus, the king, who did not fear him, he delivered into his hand. All the people of Babylon, Sumer, and Akkad, princes and governors, fell down before him and kissed his feet. They rejoiced in his sovereignty; their faces shone. The lord, who by his power brings the dead to life, who amid destruction and injury had protected them, they joyously blessed him, honoring his name. I am Cyrus, king of the world, the great king, the powerful king, king of Babylon, king of Sumer and Akkad, king of the four quarters of the world, son of Cambyses, the great king, king of the city of Anshan, grandson of Cyrus, the great king, king of the city of Anshan; great-grandson of Teispes, the great king, king of the city of Anshan; eternal seed of royalty whose rule Bel and Nabu love, in whose administration they rejoice in their heart. When I made my triumphal entrance into Babylon, I took up my lordly residence in the royal palace with joy and rejoicing; Marduk,

199

the great lord, moved the noble heart of the residents of Babylon to me, while I gave daily attention to his worship. My numerous troops marched peacefully into Babylon. In all Sumer and Akkad I permitted no enemy to enter. The needs of Babylon and of all its cities I gladly attended to. The people of Babylon [and . . . ], and the shameful yoke was removed from them. Their dwellings, which had fallen, I restored. I cleared out their ruins. Marduk, the great lord, rejoiced in my pious deeds, and graciously blessed me, Cyrus, the king who worships him, and Cambyses, my own son, and all my troops, while we, before him, joyously praised his exalted godhead. All the kings dwelling in palaces, of all the quarters of the earth, from the Upper to the Lower sea dwelling [ . . . ] all the kings of the Westland dwelling in tents. brought me their heavy tribute, and in Babylon kissed my feet. From [ . . . ] to Asshur and Susa,Aga de, Eshnunak, Zamban, Meturnu, Deri, with the territory of the land of Qutu, the cities on the other side of the Tigris, whose sites were of ancient foundation the gods, who resided in them, I brought back to their places, and caused them to dwell in a residence for all time And the gods of Sumer and Akkadwhom Nabonidus, to the anger of the lord of the gods, had brought into Babylonby the command of Marduk, the great lord, I caused them to take up their dwelling in residences that gladdened the heart. May all the gods, whom I brought into their cities, pray daily before Bl[1] and Nab for long life for me, and may they speak a gracious word for me and say to Marduk, my lord, "May Cyrus, the king who worships you, and Cambyses, his son,their [ . . . ] I permitted all to dwell in peace [ . . . ]

The Pioneering Voice of Irans Women The most rewarding aspect of writing this book comes from the results of research which has not only enhanced my understanding on topics of interest to me, but has led to the discovery of new knowledge and allowed me the opportunity to interact with people who have something worthwhile sharing with the world that I might not have met otherwise. One such individual is Mrs. Roya Parsay, who has shared her knowledge on the subject of womens issues with me as seen through her eyes having being a participant in and affected by the changes that have come to Iran over the past thirty-five years. I wish in turn to honor her memories here and share with the reader her voice and ideas. The following is an interview Mrs. Parsay gave back in 2005 in which she answered a series of questions over a couple of weeks time regarding womens issues in Iran, and more specifically on the role her aunt, Dr. Farrokh-Ru Parsay, who was not only Irans first female Education Minister, but was also an advocate for the advancement of womens issues and education. In the transcript that follows, Mrs. Roya Parsays words follow the letter A which designates answer for the given question. I have added her name in brackets to the original transcript for clarity. [Transcript] March 14th, 2005 Q - From KianB : I know your aunt was working very hard to improve the situation of Iranian women and children on a legislative level both in parliament and the government. Shah and the rest of his cabinet were also busy building a very strong road for development of Iran as one of the best countries in the region. The immediate results were easily seen in late 60s and 70s where Iran was modernized. That, in its turn, led to the revolt by youth in 1979. Shah was remembered as a dictator and his economical, political and social plans were in ruin. How do you think the situation of Iranians in general and particularly Iranian women was improved in that time and how much did that take? What were the most significant improvements for Iranian women? And on which points we still needed to work?

203

Dr. Farrokh-Ru Parsay

Education Minister of Iran 1968-1971

204

A (R. Parsay) - When you work for advancement of women it does not matter what country or under what regime you do that. Of course it matters if there is a Queen Farah there who encourages this or Princess Ashraf helping women, as opposed to a regime like Khamaneis who is having mandatory hijab and encouraging women to stay in the kitchen and say that women can only go to heaven thru their husbands! I hear mixed stuff about Princess Ashraf but would like to think she was for advancement of women, rather than the opposite. I also should mention that from Queen Farah I always heard movements for women and nothing of the opposite. In fact there was a project called Yakhchiabad project and heard that Queens mother would visit it , thou Dr. Parsay was running this project and it was for 5000 students and for the first time the idea of co-ed was introduced there.. Also, Dr. Parsay had another project that I really liked and that was to build thousands of new schools and encouraged the public to dedicate a school for each section of different towns. I remember my grand pa dedicated one school on the road to sea side, (North of Iran) and it was one room and a blackboard and chairs. If anybody remembers the name of that school email me as the least to do to keep her good works alive. I walked in there proudly couple of times, could it be Foomeh? Not sure. At any rate for improvement of womens situation she put so many women at work in education department, that some had to reject it due to their husbands place of work and location. She created a lot of opportunities for women. What hurt her was the free nutrition program that she had and was introduced for the first time and in there she had to have contracts with here and there, and those companies started to steal money for more benefit. It was a corrupted system especially in Bazar and that hurt Shahs reputation too. But in the end as a woman in those times coming forward and working in an atmosphere of all men needed courage which my aunt had. Also Khomeinei from the first moment that she was appointed, made a vow to execute her, since Khomeini never wanted to have strong women around him and that is where his philosophy of mandatory hijab come from. As for how the situation of Iranian women improved, you can see that number of women in Majilis increased, the barrier for appointing a

205

woman for sensitive jobs were broken. All in all the outlook for women and her capability in holding a high position job in Iran was improved by appointing Dr. Parsay, a woman, a physician, a teacher and a mother to that job. She stood strong to the end, as her hand written last will hours before her execution shows, in her last moments she was strong with no shaking of hands or loosing concentration. I will post her will later. We need more women like Dr. Parsay and her mother Mrs. Fakhr Afagh Parsay to be taken as role model to make a better world for women and men all over the world. March 11th, 2005 Q - From KianB: So what happened for you in International Women's day? In Iran, according to the news, the women gathered in Tehran's Laleh Park and were later arrested by anti-riot police. Of course there was no mention of Parsay Family. I hope one day your book gets published so new generation know more about their past. A (R. Parsay) - Hello. Your question touches a sore spot! It is a pity that this silence is over these 2 pioneer women. While a lot of foreign women are mentioned and appraised by Iranian TVs and also some Iranian women, who either voted for Khatami or are writing books about men, rather than women, are being mentioned and interviewed, one notices that a struggle starting from around 1920 by Fakhr Afagh Parsay is still having a long way to go to bring the awareness of men and women to a higher level to at least know who's struggles would be mentioned, followed and give them bravery to fight against the suppression of women . Like fighting against forced hijab on a day called International Women's day. Sorry to say I approached a radio requesting an interview to emphasis my grandmother's struggle for requesting no hijab for women and equal rights for women and was refused! At the same day I saw women like Mrs. Farnoodi who voted for Khatami who is anti-woman, pro-hijab, pro-stoning women was interviewed or those women who write books about men like Mrs. Sarshar writing about shaboon Jafari is

206

being respected more than those who really deserve to be mentioned on this day. Their story (Parsays) has to be told and retold, until people's awareness and braveness level is raised by making them a model. Encouragement of the issue is our duty. Wishing a brighter future for women of the world and wishing the Iranian women freedom specially from forced Hijab. Regards, Roya March 6th, 2005 Q - From KianB: I am somehow one of the kids who was growing under your aunt' policies when I was in kindergarten and primary school in the 70's. Too young to remember everything, now after looking 30 years back, I realize how intelligent and self-giving they were working to develop a prosperous future for next Iranian generations. That is of course something I am proud of. But there are a lot of leftists and Islamists propaganda to demonize Shah and his people as a justification for 1979 revolution. Please tell us a bit how you grew up and what was the sphere in that time to grow up in a country with an optimistic future? And how Iranians react to the fact that revolution destroyed our future? A (R. Parsay) - I do want to answer this question for the sake of the younger generation or somehow older ones like you who asked this question. You see we were in a state of transition from old ways to new ways. We did not know how good we have it since we did not see the neighboring countries and TV would not show them realistically. TV would not even show Iran realistically. What was hidden from us for example was Khomeini himself. I was seeing a lot of growth economically, advancement, but people were not growing with it. I learned about politics after the revolution, at that time I was just watching what happened to us. I was a pure ignorant about politics. I would see my aunt as Secretary of Education to go to work every day at 6 am and come back home with a pile of files to continue to work at night. I also would see my father appraising Mossadegh and I loved both of them I mean both the Shah and Mossadegh and also both my aunt and my father. I could see my father and my aunt loving each other at the same time as discussing issues with each other, in fact my father was not

207

physically and emotionally able to leave his house for 5 days when he heard my aunt was executed by firing squad. But I could not have a discussion with a leftist (chap) or any other political person in public or didn't know any in private cause it was not allowed or talked about. But the society was living in peace, harmony and struggling too. Nothing compared to what is going on now, we were a proud nation then and we are a shameful nation now. We are ashamed of how our religion is portrayed to the world by this regime in Iran, these terrorist people in power, beliefs, customs and the way the government is running in Iran. We are back to dark ages. We dont want to be associated with them and ask that this regime be eliminated totally. We want the old days back. When we did not have to wear a veil by force or when we proudly had a woman in the cabinet. Dr. Parsay was a pioneer and I want her way to be continued.

Is Iran a Threat to World Peace?

BBC Radio Program Any Questions Feb. 3rd, 2006 [Partial Transcript]
[http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/anyquestions_transcripts_20060203.shmtl]

Lloyd Balford Lloyd: Is Iran a threat to peace in the world? Jonathan Dimbleby [Presenter]: You have significant dealing with Iran, Lord Lamont. Lord Norman Lamont: Well I think the idea of Iran getting a nuclear weapon is alarming. I think also President Ahmadinejad of Iran is a rather threatening person because of what he said. Having said that I think we ought also to understand that there is an Iranian perspective which we dont always see in these matters. The first is that I think Iran actually has a deep sense of insecurity. The history of Iran has been interfered with by foreign countries. They remember how a prime minister, Mossadegh, was removed because he wanted by the Americans and the British because he wanted to nationalize oil. They remember above all the Iran-Iraq War in which Iraq with Western weapons invaded them, half a million people died. Theyre surrounded by countries with nuclear weapons as well. Second point I would just make about Iran is Iran is not nearly as anti-West, anti-American or as religious as it appears from the members of the government you see on television. After 9.11 there were demonstrations in favor of America in Tehran. President Khatami, the president of Iran at that time, actually made the strongest most eloquent condemnation Ive heard from anybody. Now the one Im certain of is that a situation will not work and we will find ourselves getting into a situation from which there is no exit. America already has sanctions because of the hostage crisis that maintained them ever since. I think a far better policy in the past would have been if wed had no sanctions against Iran, wed encouraged full economic ties, trade with Iran, admitted them to the World Trade Organization. It may be too late now. I dont think Iran is going to invade anybody but I think Iran-Iran has been a major beneficiary of the Iraq War that is one of the problems which has emboldenedmade them more confident. But I think in the past we have ostracized them, we have kept them at bay. I think Jack Straw has handled this very, very well because hes kept a dialogue going and although we are in a difficult situation I hope that Straw and the Europeans will still continue to maintain contact and still try to find a diplomatic solution, even though it is backed up with ultimate sanctions.

Wall Street Journal Propaganda Falsely tying Iranian President Mossadegh to Communists Lessons From Iran August 21, 1953 Editorial, Printed 2 days after the Coup The counter-revolution in Iran may not last, or may not provide stable government. But whatever happens, the fact that it was possible to overthrow the dictator Mossadegh is a large lesson for our times. It is a reminder to other dictators that they may be least secure when they feel most secure. It is a warning to would-be authoritarians that the price of absolute power is often death or disgrace. It is a challenge to oppressed people everywhere that oppressors can sometimes be removed. Particularly it has a moral for Communists. The Communist in Iran thought they were playing it smart. Long outlawed, they had mostly kept in the background. On a couple of occasions they passed up opportunities to make a grab for control of the nation in their own name. Instead, they figured their more promising opportunity was to work though Mossadegh, with his tacit approvaland when Mossadegh saw his chance to become absolute ruler, the Communists were supporting him. The people, however, werent having any. The army proved largely loyal to the deposed Shah, which was not surprising. What must have surprised the Communists was that the people, from the streets of Teheran to remote tribal villages, turned out in riotous mobs against Mossadegh; and not the least of their complaints against Mossadegh was his hook-up with the Communists. The Communists might still be able, now or later, to take over Iran. But the ouster of Mossadegh demonstrates that they wont have an easy time gaining or keeping control. That, finally, is a lesson for U.S. policy-makers, who have predicated much of their foreign-aid effort against the spread Communism on the theory that Communism thrives on poverty and illiteracy. Yet whatever happens next week, impoverished and not very literate Iran this week rejected even a path to Communism. In a country where Communism should flourish almost spontaneously, according to theorists, it will have to be imposed by force if it is imposed at all.

More Media Propaganda from the Wall Street Journal & The New York Times The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times intentionally manipulate news in order to put Iran in a negative light. This has been well documented on one of the best websites on the internet:

Race for Iran.com

Race for Iran.com is run by Dr. Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett. The objectives of the site are as follows: First, The Race for Iran will present cutting-edge analyses of Iran and its geopolitics. Second, The Race for Iran will serve as a clearing house for essential material on Iran and its geopolitics. Third, The Race for Iran will provide a forum for an ongoing conversation about Iran and its geopolitics, for interested persons all over the world. [http://www.raceforiran.com]

Dr. Flynt Leverett has an impressive resume. He is currently a professor at Pennsylvania State Universitys School of International Affairs. Prior to teaching, he served in the George W. Bush Administration as Senior Director for Middle East Affairs at the National Security Council, was on the Secretary of States Policy Planning Staff and worked for the CIA as a Senior Analyst. Dr. Leverett, like many good men of conscious, departed company with the Bush war machine in 2003 over differences in philosophy about the direction the war on terror was headed and Middle East foreign policy. He has many publications to his credit, and has contributed to many different publications on the subject of Iran and it role in the geopolitical strategy of the United States. Along with his wife Hillary Mann Leverett, (whose resume is equally impressive), Dr. Everett released their co-written book entitled Going to Tehran: Why the United States Must Come to Terms with the Islamic Republic on January 8th, 2013, published by Metropolitan Books. In this book, the Leveretts make the case that America must move past old prejudices and go to Iran and engage the nation in sensible diplomacy, rather than from a distance. The bottom line: The Leveretts are experts on Iran.

213

Recently, the Leveretts posted an article published on April 15th, 2012 entitled Iran Myths Perpetuated by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. In this article they reference several incidents of media manipulation of behalf of both newspapers that serve to mislead the reader by either misinformation of omission of information. This article asserts the Leveretts status as two of the worlds foremost experts on the topic of Iran as related to U.S. diplomacy. They not only understand the subtle nuances of political rhetoric and the yellow journalism of the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal, but they also are able to accurately discern fact from fiction. Any journalist finding their names on the Leveretts blog may as well hang up their professional credentials and begin dusting off their resumes for it is doubtful they will be around for long in their respective news organizations should their editors get wind of the errors discovered in their reporting. There are so many good articles on this site that I thought the best way to cover them is to provide the reader with a list of a few titles they may wish to read later after finishing this book should they desire to go from laymans view to masters craft. Simply type these titles into any search engine on the internet and one should arrive at the right place: Moving Beyond Regime Change in Americas Middle East Policy Why Should Iran Trust President Obama Nuclear Talks With Iran Highlight the Downsides of Americas Ongoing Quest for Middle East Hegemony Did Obama Take the Military Option Against Iran Off the Table?

The U.S. Congress & Senate is currently full of yellow bellied, sap-sucking cowards unable to stand up to AIPAC, Zionists and the Israeli Lobby. The Founding Fathers would have run these small minded little men and women out of town. Not only are these cowards incapable of independent thought, but most of them are just plain ignorant as to how they are being hoodwinked by a pathetic little group of Jews that do not really have the power they portend. This power is being given to the Jews by the Congressional Cowards.

A LESSON IN PRESSURE POLITICS BY KERMIT ROOSEVELT

PAMPHLET NUMBER 7 Issued by The Institute of Arab American Affairs 160 Broadway, New York 7, N. Y. February, 1948 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------PREFACE

IT

TOOK England more than a quarter of a century of pain and

bitterness to adjust her Middle East policy to the political, economic and social evolution of the Arab East. Mr. Kermit Roosevelt's pleas for a similar adjustment in the United States policy is most timely and opportune. Palestine is the core of that adjustment and the broad, far-sighted views of Mr. Roosevelt and others like him who possess an intimate knowledge of the Near East will prove valuable to all American citizens who want to be fair-minded and who are entitled to all the facts. Long before oil, military strategy, economic and political interests became paramount in the life of the Middle East, the Arabs had faith and respect for American democratic institutions, our national character and our spirit of fair play. An objective American approach to the Palestine problem will certainly repair the damage done by Zionism. It will, above all, uphold our cherished tradition of fair-mindedness. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRIOR TO the entry of the United States into World War II, American
interests in the Middle East were largely private interests and privately advanced. The commercial relations and philanthropic activities which American citizens and organizations had developed were such as to win for the United States a unique regard and respect, especially among the peoples of the Arab world. Some Americans have also, since World War I, given extensive financial and moral support to the Zionist cause in Palestine. As with American activity elsewhere in the Middle East, this support was offered, until recently, for humanitarian rather than political ends, and with little concern for the national interests of the United States. The disinterestedness of the American Government was generally recognized, and only the highest motives were attributed to it. During World War II the position of the United States in the Middle East changed in two respects. First, its economic and strategic interests in the area assumed obvious and increased importance. A national Middle East policy became for the first time an imperative necessity. Secondly, American support of Zionism grew more and more official in character, committing not merely groups of American citizens but the government as well. At the same time, the canse supported came to be a political rather than a humanitarian one: this dual development climaxed in the aggressive support given by the United States Government and private citizens at the United Nations General Assembly to the proposed partition of Palestine and the creation of a Jewish political state. Are these two processes-recognition of national interests in the Middle East and support of political Zionism-complementary or antagonistic? Almost all Americans with diplomatic, educational, missionary, or business experience in the Middle East protest fervently that support of political Zionism is directly contrary to our national interest, as well as to common justice. How then is our policy to be explained? Parts of the explanationperhaps the most interesting partsare still well-kept secrets. But enough is already clear to make an instructive, and disturbing, story. II In 1922, by Joint Resolution, the United States Congress proclaimed That the United States of America favors the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of Christian and all other non-Jewish communities in Palestine, and that the holy places and religious buildings and sites in Palestine shall be adequately protected.1

225

This resolution differs in several respects from the Balfour Declaration.2 For example, the American declaration fails to include specific protection of the rights and political status enjoyed by the Jews in any other country. The most significant difference is that while the British promised to use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of that object [the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people], Congress simply favors it. The United States also concluded a convention with Great Britain concerning Palestine in December, 1924, but its purpose was to assure to American citizens the same rights in Palestine as those granted to nationals of states belonging to the League of Nations.3 In conversations with British representatives and British Zionists, State Department officials made it clear that the United States Government considered Zionism as a private enterprise and nothing more. In general this continued to be the position of the United States Government in the period between the wars. So long as Britain was strong in the Middle East, and so long as the political leadership of Zionism remained with English Jews, all the Zionists required from the United States was financial assistance from private individuals and resolutions of support from the government. However, Zionist need of United States support began to grow more acute during the nineteen-thirties as Britains Palestine policy reflected a growing realization that full support could no be given the Zionist without damaging Arab interest and antagonizing not only Palestinian Arabs but the Arab States as well. In 1939, the British change in policy was expressed in a White Paper placing a definite limt upon Jewish immigration into Palestine, and seriously restricting the land purchase program of the Zionists already there.4 What the Zionists wanted first of all appeared to be American pressure upon the British: British action rather than direct American action, was still the main goal. But, as the course of war seemed to spell the end of Britains imperial might, the Zionists decided Britain was too weak a reed on which to rely. Some turned to Russia, but the majority saw their greater hope in the United States. This trend became explicit in 1942 with the visit of Ben Gurion, Chairman of the Jewish Agency, Dr. Weizmann, and other Zionist leaders to the United States. On May 11, at an assembly of American Zionists in New York, the so-called Biltmore Program was approved. It called for the recognition of a Jewish Commonwealth and a Jewish army, urged that responsibility for immigration into Palestine be removed from Britain and vested in the Jewish Agency, and denounced the White Paper of 1939.5 Although many Jews in Palestine and the United States opposed the Biltmore Program,6 a committee of the General Council of the World

226

Zionist Organization finally endorsed it by a large majority in November 1942. From that moment on the Zionists efforts were directed toward making use of the United States as, in the past, they had made use of Great Britain. Zionist pressure to this end was exerted systematically and on large scale. In 1942 and 1932 resolutions supporting Zionism were introduced in numerous state legislatures. There being no organized opposition, and also no commitment binding the states to any given action, most of these resolutions were passed in routine fashion. This concerted Zionist drive to commit the United States by sheer number of resolutions included also the C.I.O. and the A.F. of L. as well as numerous religious and charitable bodies. Many Senators and Congressmen were induced to give support to Zionism, but a Congressional resolution on the subject was shelved in 1944 at the request of General Marshall. The Chief of Staff had inquired of our military attachs in the Middle East whether they thought its passage would damage the war effort. On the basis of their replies he concluded that reaction to the resolution would limit the military contribution which could be made from the Middle East to the invasion of France, for if it were passed British and other Allied troops, which could otherwise be used in establishing the Second Front, would be needed to maintain order there. The net result would be greater drain on American troops and resources. The proposed solution stated that the United States shall use its good offices and take appropriate measures to the end that the doors of Palestine shall be opened for free entry of Jews into that country, and that there shall be full opportunity for colonization so that the Jewish people may ultimately reconstitute Palestine as a free and democratic Jewish commonwealth.7 This was the first official resolution which would have involved expenditure of United States strength in support of Zionism. A few days after it had been tabled, President Roosevelt, following a visit from Zionist leaders, issued a statement supporting Zionist aspirations; but this, like the local state resolutions, involved no immediate action by the United States. Nevertheless, the Presidents statement marked a significant development. Hereafter, policy on Palestine began to be made in the White House, often against the express advice of the War, Navy, and State Departments, in which opposition to a policy committing the United States to support of Zionism continued, and perhaps increased. The next step in the growing reliance of the Zionists on the United States was the substitution, in the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization, of American for British leaders. This was not a wholly peaceable operation. Britain had been, and was still, the active agent of

227

Zionismthe power responsible under the League of Nations mandate for the administration of Palestine. However, aside from the fact that British Zionists were at a disadvantage in appealing to American Jews, it was becoming clear that American Zionists, through the United States Government could bring more pressure on the British Government that British Zionists either could or were willing to do. British Zionists would seem to have been awareas, indeed, British citizens should beto some extent at least of British as well as Zionist interests, and were frequently reluctant to urge their government to adopt courses of action advocated by the more aggressive Americans. It was becoming increasingly difficult for them to reconcile British over-all interest with the program of such extremists. The result was that British Zionists became a moderating force in Zionism at a time when extremism was riding high. Their inhibitions as British citizens put them at a disadvantage compared to American Zionists, whose country had no such long established tradition of interests and politics in the Middle East. The climax of the struggle came at the Basel Conference in December 1946, when the conciliatory policy advocated by the grand old man of Zionism, British scientist Chaim Weizmann, was defeated. Rabbi Abba Hillel Silvers promises of American support carried the dayand the final vote of the UN Assembly proved his ability to deliver what he had promised. Whether the campaign to gain American support was good either for Zionism or the Jewish community in general is still a question. The trend it took has widened the gap between Zionist Jews and those considerable numbers of American Jews who fervently oppose setting their race apart as a national group. The extensive publicity attendant upon the Zionist struggle also has made non-Jewish Americans increasingly conscious of the presence of Jews among them and has raised the specter of increased anti-Semitism. So far as their position in Palestine is concerned, the Zionists exchanged the protection of Great Britain and the British army for a United Nations recommendation which the United States, although voting in its favor, may be unwilling or unable to implement. The answer depends in large measure on the extent to which Zionist aims are beneficial or detrimental to the interests of the United States. For if the American public decides that Zionist pressure has forced this country into difficult straits, the reaction will quick and unmistakable. The Zionists will then have lost their last powerful friend.

228

III At the same time that American Zionists groups were assuming the lead in the fight for a Jewish state and endeavoring to commit the United States Government to its support, the pattern of American interests in the Middle East was being clearly outlined by the events of World War II. The most dramatic of these was the near loss of the Middle East by the Allied forces to the Axis armies of General Rommel. The British victory at Al-Alamein was made possible in part by the American decision to send military supplies to Egypt at a time when MacArthur and the Russians were pleading for all we could send them. Both MacArthur and the Russians had powerful friends in Washington, but none could deny the tremendous importance of the Middle Eastern theater to the war as a whole. German strategy was at fault in not allocating greater forces and material to the desert drive. But the German General Staff cannot be accused of underestimating the significance of the area. Captured documents show that the Germans had planned an over-whelming spring campaign in 1943 which was to give them control of the Persian Gulf. The German plans went no further; the General Staff was confident that once Germany held the Middle East, it would have won the war as a whole. With plenty of oil, and its enemies effectively split, the futility of further resistance would be plain to all. Other captured documents show that to gain the Dardanelles and a foothold in the Middle East, Russia was willing in 1940 to join the Axis and in 1943 to sign a separate peace with Germany. But even then, when the Nazi decline was well underway, Berlin found these demands tool steep. Post-war developments make it clear, however, that the Russians have not abandoned the goal. They have tried in Greece, in Turkey, and in Iran to advance toward it. Only the most determined opposition by Britain and the United States has held them in check. It seems logical to conclude that the Soviet support of the partition of Palestine represents Russias most recent move toward that long established end. If this conclusion be correct, as many observers believe, the Russian decision on partition was calculated to achieve three objectives: to strengthen the Soviet Union among Zionists everywhere; to gain a military foothold in the Middle East, on the assumptions that partition must be imposed by force and that force used for this purpose by UN must involve Russian participation; and most important, to ensure chaos and confusion in the Middle East by creating, against Arab opposition, a Jewish state surrounded by Arabs. A further reason is suggested by the tone of Russian speeches at UN, which seemed bent on establishing the

229

principle of partition. They pleaded the right of minority to separate itself from the majority and form its own state. Application of this principle to Azerbaijanis and Macedonians, to Kurds and Armenians and other Middle East minorities would suit the Soviets well. The Iron Curtain could be drawn over the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean by process of partition as well as by any other means. That the State Department took Soviet Russia into account when considering the Palestine question was one of the accusations made by Mr. Bartley Crum in recounting his experiences as a member of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in 1946.8 Yet the seriousness of this offense is difficult to comprehend. Surely an important State Department responsibility is to warn our top officials of pitfalls which will endanger American interests abroad. If a position in the Middle East was essential to winning the war against Germany, we are now learning that it is equally essential to winning the peace against Soviet Russia. Te strategic importance of the lands embracing the eastern Mediterranean cannot be exaggerated, for the area provides a base of operations at the hub of three continents. If an aggressive power became dominant in it, whether by conquest in time of war or by infiltration and revolution in time of peace, the security of a far wider zone would be threatened. The United States can fight against such an eventuality by taking direct action, as it has attempted to do in Iran, Turkey, and Greece, to block the spread of Russian influence towar the Middle East. It can also fight against it by following a policy calculated to assure the political stability and social and economic advancement of the Middle Eastern peoples. Among other factors which have assumed for the United States new and vital significance in the Middle East are its oil deposits. These deposits are generally recognized to be the greatest pool of oil in the world. If properly developed they could provide Europe with cheap power for the next century. The importance in the Marshall plan has been clearly implied but not emphasized. The plan provides for the expenditure of over a billion dollars to reconstruct and expand Europe's refineries and other oil installations. These had best be supplied in large measure with Middle Eastern oil, because oil from there can reach Europe more cheaply than from the Western Hemisphere, and because its use would enable the nations of North and South America to save their resources against a day when no other supplies might be available to them. Alongside the newer considerations of strategic and commercial interests stands the long tradition of American disinterestedness in the domestic political affairs of other peoples and its profession of

230

democratic idealism, best expressed in the Middle East through the philanthropic work of private American organizations. It is very much in the national interest of the United States that the "reservoir of goodwill" engendered by such activity not be squandered. It is the very antithesis of American tradition to play a partisan role in fixing the political destiny of the Arab peoples, especially one in opposition to the expressed wishes of a population's majority. Millions of Middle Easterners regard our official sponsorship of a Jewish state in Palestine as "un-American"; persistence in such a policy will undermine the moral prestige of the United States in this area for years to come. It is such considerations as these that are very much on the minds of American planners, and it is proper that they should be. They also pose a question which Americans, Zionists or otherwise, should ponder: Will the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine jeopardize the position of the United States in the Middle East? When all factors are taken into account it is difficult to arrive at anything but an affirmative answer, for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine would disrupt the Arab world and very possibly obstruct the development of democratic stability among the Arab peoples. It will undermine the American prestige among them for years to come, andof more pressing concernease the path of Soviet infiltration. IV By early 1946 it was clear that the United States had acquired many of the same broad national interest in the Middle East that Britain had had for generations. Peace and security in the area having become important to us, it followed that we should logically share responsibilities there as well. But whereas British Zionists, ot of their longer experience, have both perceived and attempted to reconcile the divergence between the welfare of Britain and the advancement of Zionism, recognition of the new situation of the new situation has not led to a moderation of Zionism in the United States. Quite the contrary. The end of the war had removed the military considerations which had blocked the 1944 Congressional resolution on Palestine. Universal sympathy for the distress and suffering of Europes displaced persons heightened the emotional appeal of Zionism, although its opponents pointed out that only a portion of them were Jews. They questioned further whether Palestine, or countries such as Brazil, Australia, or the United States, could best provide homes for these refugees. They argued that there was no necessary connection between the humanitarian problems of succoring the displaced persons of Europe the political

231

problem of creating a new nationalistic state in Palestine. Finally, they asked whether it was just to make the Arabs atone for Europes sins. However, the Zionists were not to be balked in their aims. In may 1945 Zionist spokesmen at the San Francisco Conference, in furtherance of the Biltmore Program, urged that the United Nations immediately recognize a jewish commonwealth in Palestine. The UN did not place the item on its agenda, but in August 1945 a World Zionist Conference, meeting in London, endorsed the program and on August 31 President Truman wrote Prime Minister Attlee suggesting that 100,000 Jews be admitted to Palestine at once to relieve the suffering in Europe. Attlee rejected the suggestion, but proposed that an Anglo-American Committee be appointed to study the entire subject. In April 1946 the Committee presented an unanimous report recommending the admission of 100,000 as suggested by President and denying the exclusive claim of Arabs or Jews to a state in Palestine. The report rejected partition as a solution and proposed instead continuance of the mandate, pending the execution of a trusteeship agreement under the United Nations, until existing hostilities shall disappear. The ultimate form of government was vaguely described: Jew shall not dominate Arab and Arab shall not dominate Jew, and the religious rights of Christian, Moslem, and Jew were to be protected in Palestine.9 Taken as a whole, the report was an honest effort to grapple with a difficult problem. But almost no one took it as a whole. Zionists found it generally unacceptable except for the recommendation that 100,000 Jews be admitted to Palestine immediately. It is interesting to note that President Trumans public comment singled out that particular recommendation for praise, together with two lesser aspects of the report also favorable to Zionism. Of the rest he remarked that it deals with many other questions of long-range political policies and international law which require careful study and which I will take under advisement.10 Another aspect of the report is of great interest and, one hopes, of significance for the future. Certain American members of the Committee were reputed to be Zionist sympathizers before their appointment. Meeting as members of a responsible body representing the United States Government and, therefore, over-representing the United States Government and, therefore, over-all American interests, they joined in approval of a report which went in many respects contrary to Zionist policy. As responsible public officials, in other words, they determined against the creation of against the creation of a Jewish political state in Palestine. Later, as private citizens exposed again to the pressures of

232

political Zionism, they modified their stand. But this does not change, it rather underlines, the significance of the Committees unanimous vote. The British Government refused to discuss execution of only one of the Committees proposalsthe famous 100,000apart from the rest. Another group of Americans and British thereupon assembled in London to discuss ways of carrying out the whole report. In August they come out with a report of their own providing for a complicated cantonal arrangement, which was promptly rejected by Arabs and Zionists and buried with little comment by the American Government. The White House obviously disapproved. Yet 1946 was an election year, and some stand would have to be taken. On October 4, President Truman issues a statement calling again for the immediate admission of 100,000 Jews to Palestine. He also supported the Jewish Agency proposal for the creation of a viable Jewish state in control of its own immigration and economic policies in an adequate area of Palestine11 The story behind this statement is simple, and was partially reported at the time.12 Messers. Mead and Lehman, good Democrats, were waging a losing campaign for Governor and Senator respectively in New York State. Political leaders believe, though this has never been tested, that Zionists in New York would vote as a bloc and might win or lose an election. In the heat of the campaign, Mead and Lehman informed the White House that a statement favoring Zionism must be made immediately, for Dewey. Meads opponent, was reported to be on the point of issuing one himself.13 The White house referred the matter for drafting to the State Department, but was not satisfied with States first effort. Meanwhile New York called again: If President Truman did not issue a statement, mead and Lehman would do so, publicly calling upon Mr. Truman to support it. Working under great pressure domestic political pressure logically unrelated to Palestinethe October 4 statement was produced. It turned ou to be one of the most disturbing and fateful ever made about Palestine. It was disturbing because it emphasized, more dramatically than ever before, but not for the first or last time, the blatant way in which local political concerns may determine American forwign policy. Even the timing was obviousnot only close to election day, but on the eve of an important Jewish religious festival. Many Jews deplored this appeal to deep religious sentiment for obviously political purposes. It was fateful because of its effect upon the British, who were patiently conducting meetings in London trying to work out a solution and whose negotiations were thrown into confusion by the unexpected intrusion. Mr. Bevin expressed himself strongly at the time, and felling

233

lingers on. A recent New York Times dispatch reports: The British Government appears to feel that Britain had been well on the way toward a solution of the crisis there [in Palestine] on a cantonal basis when President Truman upset the applecart by making his speech demanding the immediate entry of 100,000 Jews.14 The effort to win New York votes by promises on Palestine convinced the British that they could not rely on responsible American action in support of a solution there. Once they had reached that conclusion, their withdrawal from the scene was inevitable. The statement was fateful also because, in President Trumans mid, it committed the United States to thorough-going support of partition. Its genesis also re-emphasized the role that was to be allowed the State Department in the formulation of Palestine policy. Shortly after the statements appeared, White House officials warned that State Department personnel must not criticize their governments position. Later, Secretary Brynes was questioned on what he proposed to do about Palestine. He replied that he had nothing to do with it, he just carried messages. The final act in the partition of Palestine was played out at the General Assembly of the United Nations in the fall of 1947. On October 11, our delegation declared itself, with a few reservations, in favor of the plan for partition as submitted by the UNs Special Committee. Its support was based on two assumptions: that Arab opposition would be negligible, and that the proposed Jewish state could be made a going concern,despite the consensus of expert opinion that neither assumption was sound. After its decision was made, the delegation proceeded on the principle that other countries should be allowed to make up their own minds. This principle was modified, however, when it became apparent that if it were followed the partition plan would be defeated. A straw vote taken in UN on Saturday, November 22, showed 24 states supporting partition, 16 opposed, and the rest abstaining or undecided. The American delegation was told at that point that the United States was committed to partition and that it must go through. By Wednesday, November 26, when the vote was taken in committee, the result was 25 to 13one vote gained for partition, three lost to its opponents, and the abstentions increased by two. That was still not enough for the two-thirds majority needed for passage. So the Zionists took the fight into their own hands. Rallying a group of influential Americans and selecting their targets with care, they exerted all possible influencepersonal suasion, floods of telegrams and letters, and political and economic pressure. Six countries which had

234

indicated their intention of voting against partition were the chosen targets: Haiti, Liberia, the Philippines, China, Ethiopia, and Greece. All except Greece were either won to voting for partition or persuaded to abstain. That these countries, and others as well, may have had sound reasons for voting against partition was no impediment. Aside from moral scruples about sel-determination and the possible injustice of imposing partition on a country against the will of a majority of its inhabitants, there were hard political facts to be taken into account. For instance, some of the countries concerned have pressure goups which might prove as powerful in their own land as the Zionists in the United States. Haiti has a sizeable number of Syrian citizens. Liberia, China, and the Philippines have large numbers of Moslems among their populations. Ethiopia and Greece wish to be on good relations with their Moslem neighbors, who strongly oppose partition. But they are all small or weak countries; why should they be allowed the luxury of voting for interests which run counter to those of a powerful group in a powerful country like the Unites States? The delegates of those six nations and their home governments as well were swamped with telegrams, phone calls, letters, and visitations. Many of the telegrams, particularly, were from Congressmen, and others as well invoked the name and prestige of the United States Government. An ex-Governor, a prominent Democrat with White House and other connections, personally telephoned Haiti urging that its delegation be instructed to change its vote. He spoke firmly, and might be presumed to speak with authority. A well-known economist also close to the White House, and acting in a liaison capacity for the Zionist Organization, exerted his powers of persuasion upon the Liberian delegate. Both state reversed themselves and voted for partition. How far our delegation was directly involved in this lobbying is hard to say, and it must have been even harder for the small nations and their representatives to put a tru value on many of the tactics employed. What happened at the United Nations was a repeat performance of what had already happened in the United States. Using the same methods that had been so successful here, and having the United State Government to assist in their use there, the Zionist succeeded in getting what they wanted. The very pertinent question is, where do we go now? Partition has been approved, but no method of enforcing it is provided. That problem, which will soon develop into a threat to peace, will fall within the jurisdiction of the Security Council. In other words, it will be subject to veto. The United States held the initiative for a time and produced partition. But because it was politically difficult to admit

235

that Arab resistance would be strong, and even more politically difficult to commit Unites States forces to putting down that resistance, we have let the question slideright into the Security Council and the veto. The initiative is lost. The gain? Further complication and exacerbation of an already bitter tangle, which must now be handled by a council that has rarely found agreement. The future of Palestine itself looks blacker that ever before, and meanwhile important American economic interest in the Middle East have been placed in jeopardy. If the future of our position in the Middle East is dark, at least the lesson to be learned from the Palestine case is clear. The process by which Zionist Jews have been able to promote American support for the partition of Palestine demonstrates the vital need of a foreign policy based on national rather that partisan interests. A Palestine Zionst, indeed, may dismiss the Russian threat to the United States from his consideration, but an American may not, even if he is a Zionist. And as every American Zionist should think of himself as an American first, so should every Democrat and Republican. Only when the national interest of the United State, in their highest terms, take precedence over all other considerations, can a logical, farseeing foreign policy be evolved. No American political leader has the right to compromise American interest to gain partisan votes. The role the United States assumed in the Palestine question is not the responsibility of Zionists alone, but of each American citizen. The present course of world crisis will increasingly force up Americans the realization that their national interest and those of the proposed Jewish state in Palestine are going to conflict. It is to be hoped that American Zionists and non-Zionists alike will come to grips with the problem.

Committee, following somewhat similar lines. At the opposite end of the Zionist scale were the Revisionist extremist; the New Zionist Organization and the Jewish State Party, both advocating the establishment of a Jewish state comprising Transjordan as well as Palestine. Opposition to a Jewish commonwealth, as outlined in the Biltmore Program, came also from anti-Zionist groups, notably the American Council for Judaism, which has consistently repudiated the concept of a Jewish political state in its entirety.

Not only you as the president but the American people as a whole should realize that if the American government decided to support the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, they are committing the American people to the use of force in that area, since only by force can a Jewish state in Palestine be established and maintained.

Professor Albert Howe Lybyer, who served with Kermit Roosevelt alongside Professor Virginia Gildersleeve (Dean of Barnard Womens College), on the board of The Institute for Arab-American Affairs, also served as a technical advisor to the King-Crane Commission in 1919. The commission was set up to determine what would be the best course of action for American foreign policy in the Middle East, especially the areas that were non-Turkish during the Partitioning of the Ottoman Empire immediately following World War I. These areas included Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Anatolia. The committee was frustrated in its work due to backroom deals being cut by the British and the French who had been vested in the region long before the United States showed an interest. With the power of and prestige of the United States growing after World War I, Americans began to realize the necessity of engaging the citizens of this now strategically important region, and one growing in importance since oil had been found in Persia by the British in 1908. With the goal of determining how the governments in the region should be treated, the King-Crane Commission received minimal support of the other major colonial powers. Without international sponsorship, the commission ventured out on its own. The Commission was named after the two gentlemen the President Wilson sent as his emissaries, Henry Churchill King and Charles R. Crane. King was president of Oberlin College in Ohio, and Crane was the heir of and oldest son of a plumbing parts magnate, Richard T. Crane who founded R.T. Crane & Bro., to manufacture brass fittings and plumbing supplies. Richard Crane became wealthy outfitting Chicagos public buildings such as the Cook County Courthouse with steam pipes and other equipment and supplies. His son Charles became an Arabist and a diplomat. He was appointed to serve under President William H. Taft as minister to China, but that appointment was revoked by Secretary of State Philander Knox over Cranes purported publication of an article in a Chicago paper about U.S. Chinese relations as related to U.S. objections over ongoing treaties between Japan and China. He would later serve Wilson in 1917 as a Special Diplomat to Russia as part of the Root Commission which was involved in the Paris Peace Conference and thus the great division of

241

Europe. Charles Richard Crane is also famous for having financed the very first explorations for oil in both Yemen and Saudi Arabia and played an important role in getting the Saudi Oil Concession for America:
In his book, Arabian Oil Ventures, Harry St. John ('Abd Allah) Philby, who was 'Abd al-'Aziz's confidant on Western affairs, tells how, in response to 'Abd al-'Aziz's concerns about his Depression-wracked financial situation, Philby remarked that the king and his government seemed "like folk asleep on buried treasure." When 'Abd al-'Aziz replied that he might consider granting a new concession, Philby suggested that he talk to Charles Crane, an American plumbing tycoon and philanthropist who was then sponsoring development projects in neighboring Yemen. As Crane happened to be in Cairo, it was easy enough to invite him for a visit. On February 25, 1931 'Abd al-'Aziz greeted him in Jiddah with a banquet, and presented him with a bundle of carpets and swords as well as two Arabian horses. In return, Crane offered to send, at his own expense, one of his mining engineers, Karl Twitchell, then working in Yemen, to search for artesian wells for the king. It took Twitchell some time to make the 2400-kilometer (1500-mi) journey north, complete the surveys which encompassed much of the Peninsulaand prepare a report. The news, he noted, was mixed: There was no water, but there might be oil. Twitchell noted the similarity between the geology of eastern Arabia and that of Bahrain. Should SOCAL find oil in Bahrain, he reasoned, the likelihood was great that oil would be found in al-Hasa, too, and possibly in much greater quantities, owing to al-Hasa's greater area. When Bahrain 1 came in, it confirmed Twitchell's expectationsand those of 'Abd al-'Aziz. The king quickly dispatched Twitchell to the United States to find an oil company willing to invest in a search for oil in eastern Arabia.

In 1919 Crane and King set about the business of recommending policy regarding the post-war makeup and official status of Middle Eastern nations to include a recommendation on the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine. The report concluded the following to this regard:
Not only you as the president but the American people as a whole should realize that if the American government decided to support the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, they are committing the American people to the use of force in that area, since only by force can a Jewish state in Palestine be established and maintained.

Early Christian Voices against Zionism Excerpt from: Christian Attitudes towards the State of Israel by Paul Charles Merkley 2001 by McGill-Queen's University Press Even in 1947-48, when the desperate circumstances of the European Jews disposed most American politicians and most Church leaders to endorse the Zionist solution, there was a formidable opposition. In the forefront were spokesmen for the Protestant missionary societies that had worked with creditable success among the Arab populations of the Middle East for over a century. In the United States, they were allied with anti-Zionist Jewish organizations, notably the American Council for Judaism. Virginia Gildersleeve, (Jewish Christian) then President of Barnard College and a member of the board of the American University in Beirut, was perhaps the most influential leader of this Christian anti-Zionist lobby. In her memoirs, Professor Gildersleeve recalls: "It was not until the middle of World War II, that I began to realize the critical strategic importance of the Middle East to my country from a military and political point of view," and she thereupon concluded that it was essential that the US not be won by the cause of Zionism, "a movement which was to plunge much of the region into war, sow long-lasting hatred and make the Arabs consider America not the best-liked and trusted of the nations of the West...but the most disliked and distrusted." In 1948 she helped found the Committee for Justice and Peace in the Holy Land and became its chairman. Later the CJPHL was merged into the American Friends of the Middle East, which remains an active anti-Israeli lobby. The AFME spoke bitterly of the leverage that Jewish money had over public opinion and policy making in the US but was not above accepting subsidies from Aramco, the Saudi-US oil combination.

Relatively Relative I recently discovered after reading Walter Isaacsons book Einstein, His Life and Universe, that I actually knew very little about this giant man of science other than what is commonly regurgitated amongst school children about him having dyslexia or being a slow learner or something like that and the fact that the Theory of Relativity that is printed up as E=MC2 on the colorful posters alongside the man with mad hair which may be found the walls of every high school science lab in America. Two things I quickly figured outOne, I am not the only one that has been hoodwinked by slick scientific sound-bites, and prolific photographic propaganda, andTwo, Einstein was not all that he was cracked up to be. But then again, our childhood heroes have often been washed in the blood of the lamb so they may stand tall upon the mountain top in all their glory and pontificate from upon high with other gods of man so the rest of us have somebody to look up to. If one doesnt succumb to a stiff neck, or ask to many questions, the gods may remain high upon their pedestals and continue to be worshiped and no one will be the wiser. Most folks I have met and those I have lately have been quizzing, do not realize that Einsteins 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics was not attained for bedazzling the world with his Theory of Relativity per se, but rather for services to theoretical physics and his contribution to the large and growing volume of work on the Photoelectric Effect that had been earlier discovered by Philip Lenard. Einstein was credited by the Nobel Prize committee with its discovery which is another myth, or at least a science extender. Most of the early observations and theoretical groundwork was conducted by scientists experimenting in the late 1800s and the turn of the 20th Century to include the work of Heinrich Hertz, Philip Lenard, Alexandre Edmond Becquerel, Willoughby Smith, Johan Elster, Hans Geitel, Wilhelm Hallwachs, Aleksandr Stoletov, J.J. Thompson, James Clerk Maxwell, and last but not least, Max Planck. Had it not been for the work of these men, Einstein would have had nothing to theorize about. His contribution was to describe the combined work of these men with a mathematical predictive model. But being the layman that I am, I must accept at face value the judgment of his peers that this was indeed a worthy scientific endeavor. The Nobel Prize in Physics was first awarded in 1901. Einstein wrote his description of the Photoelectric Effect in 1905. Even though it is stated that his award was for 1921, it was not awarded until 1922 because the committee actually determined that none of the work, including Einsteins, fit the criteria for the prize that year. According to Nobel Prize.org, the official website for the prize:

247

Albert Einstein received his Nobel Prize one year later, in 1922. During the selection process in 1921, the Nobel Committee for Physics decided that none of the years nominations met the criteria as outlined in the will of Alfred Nobel. According to the Nobel Foundation's statutes, the Nobel Prize can in such a case be reserved until the following year, and this statute was then applied. Albert Einstein therefore received his Nobel Prize for 1921 one year later, in 1922.

The truth of the matter is that the general public oft forgets that a theory is just that, a theory. With a bit of math and a set of integers, a half or dozen or so other symbols designed by the community of describers, otherwise known as theorists, or scientists, one can whip up a clever mathematical equation to describe just about anything from a circle to a dark hole, say. In other words, theories in my opinion are highly overrated by the scientific community, but make for great afternoons of whiskey drinking and chalkboarding. That does not mean Einstein was not highly intelligent and did not contribute to the scientific body of knowledge at the time. That also does not mean some theories are not worth considering if they indeed can be applied to something tangible that has some value to humanity. Take rocket science for instance and the math of trajectory science. The equations used to calculate these are based on simple Euclidian geometry. [See The English
Galileo, Thomas Harriots Work on Motion as an Example of Preclassical Mechanics. Vol. I by Matthias Schemmel]

Thus, such notions as a gravity slingshot are useful bits of science as they determine whether or not our astronauts arrive at the desired destination. This kind of reasoning is in fact why Einstein was denied the Nobel Prize over and over again. Interestingly enough, Einstein attempted to disprove Euclidean geometry to prove his notion about general relativity. The Nobel committee members wanted real discovery and applicable science and in fact, the Nobel Prize criteria as described by Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, demanded it. What follows is an excerpt from Alfred Nobels last will & testament which lays out the prize criteria in its purist form:
The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way: the capital, invested in safe securities by my executors, shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind. The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics; one part to the person who shall have made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who shall have

248

made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiological or medical work by the Caroline Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm, and that for champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting. It is my express wish that in awarding the prizes no consideration whatever shall be given to the nationality of the candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be a Scandinavian or not.

Einsteins theory however, does not put men on the moon. The actual discovery of the Photoelectric Effect was discovered by Philip Lenard who had won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1905. In fact, Einsteins work did nothing practical for humanity other than perhaps spark the imaginations of dreamers. The milk carton however is another story. Alfred Nobels prize was to be awarded for something tangible, for something to benefit humankind, and I would estimate that the milk cartoon has been more important to humankind that Einsteins Theory of Relativity. The theory though has been a great money maker for Israel University, considering the thousands of posters and bobble-heads that are sold each and every year. And in fact, Einsteins granddaughter is not too happy about this arrangement. She recently questioned the legitimacy of money being made off her own heritage without receiving a piece of the action.
Albert Einstein made many contributions to modern science, but it's the videos, bobblehead dolls and Halloween masks using his image those continue to generate millions of dollars long after his death. But his granddaughter, Evelyn, said she hasn't received a dime from the marketing and sales of Einstein merchandise, while others have profited. "I'm outraged," said the younger Einstein, who says she is a 69-year-old cancer survivor and needs the money for health care. "It's hard for me to believe they would treat the family the way they have, which has been abysmally."

But lets take a closer look at Einstein. After all, he is an intriguing historical figure.

Einstein, Obama and the Nobel Prize Myth Over the years, much has been made about Albert Einsteins Special Theory of Relativity or STR as it is abbreviated by quantum scientists. But not much has been made of the fact that he had an incestuous relationship with his first cousin Elsa Einstein who was already an Einstein prior to marrying Albert. (Elsas mother was the sister of his mother and her father the first cousin of Alberts father). In fact, Albert would later marry Elsa. During the tumultuous months leading up to the breakup and subsequent divorce from his first wife Mari, Albert treated her like a maid-servant by making chauvinistic demands worthy of a Teutonic king or an observant Islamic militant. According to biographer Walter Isaacson, the following are the actual written terms that Einstein dictated to his wife and by which she agreed so as to keep face within their Berlin community, while struggling to make sense of Einsteins infidelity: Condition: A. You will make sure 1. that my clothes and laundry are kept in good order; 2. that I will receive my three meals regularly in my room; 3. that my bedroom and study are kept neat, and especially that my desk is left for my use only. B. You will renounce all personal relations with me insofar as they are not completely necessary for social reasons. Specifically, you will forego 1. my sitting at home with you; 2. my going out or traveling with you; C. You will obey the following points in your relations with me: 1. you will not expect any intimacy from me, nor will you reproach me in any way; 2. you will stop talking to me if I request it; 3. you will leave my bedroom or study immediately without protest if I request it. D. You will undertake not to belittle me in front of our children either through words or behavior. [Foot-noted in Isaacsons book as coming from a memo from Anna Besso-Winteler to Heinrich Zangger, Mar. 1918 as related to Einsteins breakup found in the CPAE or collected papers of Albert Einstein]

251

Many today would consider Einsteins behavior boorish; however, a different set of rules applied during the 20th Century in Europe where marrying first cousins often proved to be a most satisfactory arrangement provided a proper dowry was in place. And after all, how could a man of science expect to be popular amongst the bohemian set if romance were neglected. Einstein is considered the father of quantum physics based on his Special Theory of Relativity and the first thing that may be said about STR is that it is indeed what it states it is; a theory. A theory, as most eager sixth grade science students who have sat up front next to the teacher can tell you, is nothing more and nothing less than a basic semantic expression applied to an observed event. Now a Tennessee squirrel hunter may have theory about why a Canadian bitch Cur in heat will not hunt as well as one that is not in heat, but squirrel hunters on the whole have never felt the necessity to justify their sport by handing out prizes to other squirrel hunters based on their erudite observations of Canadian bitch behavior. Of course squirrel hunters do not have to put on a grand show of notational scribbles and other black-board gobbelty-gook in order to maintain their station in life either. Einstein borrowed most of his ground-breaking work from two other masters of the black board, namely Hendrik Antoon Lorentz and Henri Poincare, among dozens of others making a living with esoteric chalk during the turn of the 20th Century. The fundamentals and basic foundation of Einsteins theory rests with no less than the esteemed Sir Isaac Newton, a devout Christian. Keep in mind that ego plays an all important role in science as the end game that sums up a mans life in scientific endeavor should he discontent with gift of knowledge he possesses, is to have his name attached to some theory or equation or process or perhaps a star or an asteroid or a cats ass if cats happen to be in fashion amongst other likeminded individuals at that particular time in history and depending upon whom is holding sway over the academy. Quantum Physics was basically created by a group of eager young men that somehow believed they could better describe or express the observations of moving objects than did Sir Isaac Newton. Interestingly enough, quantum scientists, much like Alan Greenspan of US Federal Reserve banking fame, use a great deal of deliberate obfuscation to trick the mind of the reader into believing that what they state to be true is indeed true whether or not it actually is.

252

Therefore I submit to ye here and now that Greenspans Theory of General Obfuscation is far more easily proven than Einsteins Theory of Relativity. I thought it would be proper in my research on Einsteins theory to begin where a reasonable mind of scientific inquiry would begin, that being taking a look at experiments that have been conducted with the express goal of drawing a favorable conclusion of the theory. Therefore, I shall be at some point in this essay, drawing from a document written Dr. Tom Roberts, entitled: What is the experimental basis of Special Relativity. Roberts is an Associate Research Professor of Physics at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and a member of the U.S. Department of Energys Fermilab Project, a little known laboratory that employs top scientists for theoretical research in nuclear weapons proliferation or particle beam acceleration as stated in polite company. Heres a bit more information on Fermilab. Fermilabs Mission Statement: Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory advances the understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy by providing leadership and resources for qualified researchers to conduct basic research at the frontiers of high energy physics and related disciplines.

History: Fermilab, originally named the National Accelerator Laboratory, was commissioned by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, under a bill signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on November 21, 1967. Founding Director Robert R. Wilson committed the laboratory to firm principles of scientific excellence, esthetic beauty, stewardship of the land, fiscal responsibility and equality of opportunity. Universities Research Association built the laboratory, and has operated the facility under those principles since its founding. On May 11, 1974, the laboratory was renamed in honor of 1938 Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi, one of the preeminent physicists of the atomic age. Fermi's widow, Laura Fermi, spoke at the dedication ceremonies. Now I am quite sure most US taxpayers may not quite appreciate the meaning of the historical description given above as regards the notion of aesthetic beauty, but certainly can appreciate the notion of fiscal responsibility. And to this regard, much like the US Post Office,

253

Fermilab has its own online retail store which sells hats, shirts, umbrellas, coffee cups, posters, and other knickknacks to support its endeavors. But apparently the online store is just not delivering enough money to the coffers as it was announced in January of 2011 that the US Department of Energy will be shutting down Fermilabs Batavia, Illinois Tevatron particle accelerator this August due to lack of funding. The closure is a crying shame, as these government employees currently enjoy a plethora of perks such as a $100 per year gym membership, onsite government-subsidized childcare, and discounted tickets to government sponsored arts events. Heck, the government even kicks in 10% of employees base salaries into their Supplemental Retirement Plan. If you believe this select group of US Citizens deserves such government sponsored perks, then please feel free to write your congressman and make your case for Fermilab to continue to receive US Government funding. But on a more serious note, the shutdown of this lab is a real blow to the U.S. scientific community. Science, much like art, is underappreciated by the idiots running our nations government and the bankers running the nations economy into the ground. I am now convinced that there are those in Washington that have their heads buried so far up their conservative arces that they could care less whether or not Americans have great roads to drive on, scientific achievements to be proud of, or great cities that do not resemble match boxes stood end to end with an occasional fast food joint thrown in to keep the free grazers happy. The ridiculous race by the right-wingers to shut down the whole government is in fact quite bizarre for a nation that claims to be the remaining super power of the free world. One would think by now, we would have restored our old cities to former grandeur and rebuilt or infrastructure over the last four years from top to bottom considering the number of citizens out of work. But no, instead we have magnanimous bankers and corrupt politicians running cover for them while they attempt to squeeze the last slippery dime out of humanity, to include individuals and sovereign states alike, until neither have a pot to piss in. Instead, it is China that is building magnificent cities, high-speed trains, and financing the sloppy behavior of bankers and politicians alike. Each and every day I hear the market barkers on CNBC whining about how the Greeks wont play ball to their satisfaction, and how the Germans wont cough up another dime to bail out Europe. I say amen to the Greeks and bully for the Germans. I say to every Greek citizen out there to throw your middle fingers high up in the air and tellem to all to go to hell, for surely it is hot enough to melt gold there is it not?

254

It amazes me that folks actually think the bankers are getting hurt in this. That is balderdash for they already made their money in the runup in the real estate bubble. Anything they manage to squeeze out the taxpayers and sovereign nations (once again, the taxpayers) is pure gravy, they know it and I know it, and it you didnt know it before reading this, now you do. When the price of a home is over-valued by 300%, the banker cleans up and makes more off of the first three to five years in interest off a thirty year mortgage than he would have made in fifteen years had the asset prices not inflated. If the bankers had not squandered his firms capital through multi-million dollar bonuses over the years leading up to the bubble, they would not be crying poor today, blaming homeowners for their own potential demise due to their own excesses. Returning to the intended theme of this paper, lets move on to the experimental proof of Einsteins Theory of Relativity. First of all, keep in mind that Einstein was indeed an esteemed Jewish scientist. Why is this important? It is quite important in the context of this book because it must be recognized that like anything else considered to be the intellectual property of the collective Jewish Diaspora, whether historical balderdash, creative thinking, or in this case, a theory, all must be judiciously and vehemently protected, therefore it must necessarily be stated that anyone attempting to debunk a Jewish scientist of Einsteins stature amongst other Jews is most assuredly an anti-semite. Armed with the shield of anti-semitism, Jewish scientists closed ranks around Einstein during the 1930s to stave off his critics, thus adding a whole new dimension to the term peer review. Along the way, a new theory developed, that being the theory of Jewish self-promotion which has proved to pay off with big dividends, especially when it comes to the awarding of the Nobel Prize. This wonderful term anti-semitism is often applied by Zionist propagandists as the catch-all phrase by which to label anyone that debunks the racist and bigoted pseudo-science theories, social politics, and anything that judicious Jews wish to claim as their birthright. This enhances their narcissist view that the Jew is somehow mentally superior to the Gentile. Einstein himself used the anti-semite card to come to his own defense in Europe when coming under intellectual attack from evil German scientists, and it has been noted that he left Germany out of a delusional fear of assassination. Perhaps someone really did wish to kill him. Who knows? And yes, it has been adequately documented that Jews have come under attack from those inclined to bigotry and hatred from time immemorial. I simply find it difficult to swallow that every

255

affront to a Jewish person is some form of anti-semitism. This notion is ridiculous. Ive personally never met a Jew I didnt like, but I am also quite amused with the very real fact that many of the Jews attempting to defend Zionism by extending their defense mechanism to anything remotely related to the Jewish culture, take such a nasty attitude towards people that otherwise might be their friends should they simply stick out their hands and just be human instead of super-Jews. Einsteins defenders would state that his critics were just not adept at the modern math of modern physics. Of course it is now well known that anyone with a basic understanding of math and geometry can chalk up equations that may be balanced and mathematically proven to equal some certain something no matter how pointless and meaningless the exercise becomes. After all thats what math is it not, add a few zeroes, take a few away, and wal-lah, we have magic. Both Jews and Gentiles of any learning know this to be true as true as a Rube Goldberg machine is useless. OK now, dont be offended because I mentioned old Rube. I happen to find his work fascinating. In my opinion some folks over-estimate the esteem of the prize. However, some within the scientific community rely on such prizes to prop up their highly over-estimated view of their own self-importance. The Nobel Peace Prize has lost its prestige in the eyes of many principled men of independent thought throughout the world given its recent award to Barack Hussein Obama by the Socialists sitting on the committee who merely wish to further their own personal and political agendas. Interestingly enough, the socialist US President, Barrack Obama, rather than being a beacon of peace and cooperation as advertised during his campaign, is currently dividing America to the point of irreparable polarization. Endowing Obama with the socialists blessing has done nothing for the esteem of the Nobel Peace Prize. I highly recommend that the committee stick to giving their prizes to folks that actually achieved something, this way there will be no confusion as to its proper meaning. Another idea would be to rename the prize The New World Order Sheep prize. But I suppose that it easier to just give the prize to a black man of no particular consequence in order to parlay the shoulderrubbing at the prize ceremony into something tangible from the American taxpayers-say perhaps a new weapons system, or maybe the hope that he will nudge America towards socialism and the control of a one world government whereby everyone that is not already benefitting from the American taxpayer and join in the fun. Nobel Prize winning books often leave readers scratching their heads and wondering what the committee was thinking. And with the current Great Depression of the 21st Century well under way, most

256

members of the worlds business community now fully recognize that the theories of a few Nobel Prize winning economists have come up short, or at any rate have not well received nor respected by the Wall street crowd that recently took great pride in crashing the world economy. Perhaps the recall or voluntary surrender of a few of those prizes is now in order. President Obamas 2010 Nobel Prize committee consisted of the following Norwegian individuals: Thorbjrn Jagland (Chairman) President of the Storting Geir Lundestad (Secretary) Professor, Director of the Nobel Institute Kaci Kullmann Five (Deputy Chairman) Adviser Public Affairs Sissel Rnbeck (Member) Deputy Director, Directorate for Cultural Heritage Inger-Marie Ytterhorn (Member) Senior Political Adviser to the Progress Party's Parliamentary Group got Valle (Member) Member of Parliament

Thorbjrn Jagland was the controversial Prime Minister of Norway from 1996-1997. He was forced to resign his post in 1997 and was considered by many to be the most incompetent prime minister ever to have held the position. A communist sympathizer, the Soviet Unions KGB was proud to call him comrade. He is currently a vice president of Socialists International, the front group for world-wide socialists. He has also been recently elected to serve as the Secretary of the Council of Europe. Geir Lundestad, another avowed socialist, has written passionately bemoaning Americas aversion to joining Europe and walking hand in hand towards the New World Order. He, much like Jagland, sees socialist promise in Obama. Lundestad received a letter from Israeli nuclear scientist and whistleblower Dr. Mordechai Vanunu in February of 2010 in which Vanunu, who was imprisoned in Israel for 18 years for exposing the State of Israels nuclear weapons program, declined the Nobel Prize committees offer of the peace prize. According to Rannie Amiri:
He [Vanunu] has written letters to us this year and last year also, where he stated explicitly that he did not want to be a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. The reason he gave was that Simon Peres had received the Nobel Peace Prize, and Peres he alleged was the father of the Israeli atomic bomb and he did not want to be associated with Peres in any way. - Geir Lundestad, Director of

257

the Norwegian Nobel Institute and Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, 24 February 2010. [http://thisiszionism.blogspot.com/2010/03/mordechai-vanunus-nobelstand.html]

This letter by Vanunu exposes the Nobel Prize committees political scheming and machinations for what they are. Unfortunately, even the esteemed Nobel Peace Prize winner Simon Peres did not come to Vanunus aid when he was recently returned to prison for three months for the crime of violating his parole. According to an article that appeared in Jerusalems Haaretz newspaper entitled Shame on you, democracy, Vanunu yells as he returns to prison by Nir Hasson, Vanunu stated:
I survived 18 years I could survive another six, and He warned that the Shin Bet security service controls the prisons and that they will try to torture him psychologically, the same way they did the last time he was incarcerated.

Vanunu further stated:

Shame on your Israel, he continued. The stupid Shin Bet and Mossad spies are putting me back in prison after 24 years of speaking nothing but the truth. Shame on you democracy, the Knesset, synagogues and the world media. Shame on you all the Arabs that are allowing me to be put back in prison. Shame on you Senate, congress, and the chairman of the International Atomic Energy Agency for not protecting my freedom. Shame on you all the worlds religions, the stupid spied, the Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Everyone knows that Israel has nuclear weapons, he went on to say, but no one is talking about itThe world doesnt want nuclear weapons not in Israel, not the Middle East and not anywhere in the world.

Yes, Nobel Prize Committee indeed. The prize committee is heavily lobbied and as it is well-known, especially in the United States, Germany, and England that AIPAC has competent lobbyists. AIPAC members will readily attest to this. H.M.S. Gertrude Stein, an intellectually stimulating lesbian bitch, broad in the beam, and her lover Alice B. Toklas, another Jewess, set up a small fiefdom in France under the duress of having to live on trust fund money and the pretense of her being some sort of literary goddess. During the day, she could be found sitting in her rather robust parlor chair holding court. Stein promoted authors that had the foresight to

bow down to her highness in the appropriate fashion. This includes the American authors F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway. [I used the
word bitch for effect; it got your attention did it not. And no I am not a misogynist, so put your label back in your politically correct slingshot. Stein was fat. Stein was Jewish. Stein was known to be a bitch at times. This is documented fact and noted in Alice B. Toklass autobiography.]

During World War II, Gertrude Stein continued to live and thrive in Paris or Vichy France as it was known under Nazi occupation. She lived on Hitlers patronage during a time when other Jews known to be collaborators, were supposedly being shot by their own people; or at least that is what the popular culture of Hollywood would have us believe. A little know fact about Stein is that she lobbied the Nobel Prize committee to give Hitler the Nobel Peace Prize, asserting that he had indeed set up Germany for peace by kicking out all of the left-wing elements, including Jews. For some reason, the Jewish intellectual community on the whole still holds Stein in high esteem. [New York Times Magazine, May 6 1934] The gay and lesbian communities in San Francisco, who apparently adore Stein, have had a hard time coming to terms with the nasty truths that have surfaced about her. In a June 9th, 1996 article by SF Gate staff reporter Stephen Schwartz entitled Gertrude and the Fuehrer / Did Gertrude Stein campaign to get Hitler the Nobel Peace Prize? And if she did, was she serious?, Schwartz stated: Some experts expressed concern but remain positive about Stein."Let's not be in a hurry to judge her," said Jim van Buskirk, program manager of the Gay and Lesbian Center at San Francisco's New Main Library. "We should look at the documentation and review as many sources as possible. It should all be put in context; she would not be the only intellectual to be charged with fascist leanings." Keep in mind that Schwartz is half-Jewish on his fathers side which means he is not a true Jew according to Jewish beliefs which require the mother to be Jewish for the child to be Jewish. He is also an admitted communist who once worked for Fidel Castro and lately become an Islamic convert, so his view on Stein is most certainly filtered through a sympathetic lense. So why do I tell this story? Because there are realities that need to be aired in American culture that have not been spoken to out of Christians fears of being branded anti-semites should they discuss anything remotely related to the Jewish culture. Therefore lets unmask a few dirty little truths that most Americans shy away from speaking about. Young writers today should keep in mind that most of the so-called writers and artists over the past 300 years have either come from rich

259

families or were under the patronage of rich people like the Steins in Paris. The greatest myth ever put forth in literature is the notion of the starving writer or artist in the Paris salon at the Turn of the Twentieth Century. It just wasnt so. And today, if you are incapable of kow-towing to Jewish publishers, the fact is, it is unlikely your book will ever see the light of day unless you self-publish it. Oh boy Jackthat statement smacks of anti-semitism, doesnt it? Wait a minute, because Im not finished yet I would submit that this is why many writers either consciously or sub-consciously embed Jewish characters into their book plots. It has become an unspoken reality amongst writers wishing to break through the close knit world of book publishing. Thank G-d, the internet has somewhat leveled the playing field. Book stores are now dropping like flies on a camels arce. I want the world to enjoy what I write based on its entertainment value, not whether or not I have been appropriately vetted by a Jew and inclusive in my writing so as not to offend any known group of peoples that are easily offended by not being able to spot a mirror image of themselves within the pages. If there happens to be a Jew in my story, by God, Ill let you know about it. And it just so happens that in this story there is: FREE VANUNU! According to world renowned evangelist Ravi Zacharias, The Wall Street Journal exposed the deception of 1992 Nobel Prize winning author Rigobertha Menchu, who fabricated many of the events in her autobiography. In an essay entitled Facing God with Faces of Falsehood, Ravi stated the following:
Indeed, just last week The Wall Street Journal printed an article about 1992 Nobel Laureate author Rigobertha Menchu, who in her widely read autobiography fabricated stories of poverty and horror to expose the plight of impoverished Guatemalans. A new book by anthropologist David Stoll uncovers these lies and Journal writer Stephen Schwartz comments on an editorial which lauded Menchu despite her deceit: "Her promoters view her tale as a morality play about the genocide of indigenous peoples at the hands of white invaders. They take the position that the 'higher truths' they believe in are ultimately more important than the facts. In an editorial on Thursday (24 December 1998), the New York Times explained that Ms. Menchu's lies were ultimately of small account next to the 'criminal oppression of indigenous peoples in Guatemala.' Geir Lundestad of the Norwegian Nobel committee also dismissed the story, stating that 'all autobiographies embellish to a greater or lesser extent.'"

260

I for one was not previously aware of Geir Lundestads asserted axiom that all autobiographies embellish to a greater or lesser extent. But now I know. Now you dont suppose that Lundestads Axiom, as we shall henceforth call it, has been applied to the work of other Nobel Prize Laureates do you? Say for instance the work of famed Nazi hunter, Elie Weissel, or Holocaust survivor Imre Kurtesz? That is a disturbing possibility, and the legitimacy of future Nobel Prize winners will no doubt be viewed by many with a great deal of skepticism. Thus far we have proven with only two members of the esteemed Nobel Prize Committee that the committee includes socialists and those susceptible to artistic prevarication. Kaci Kullmann Five, the third member of Obamas Nobel Prize selection committee objected to the Obama nomination. Sissel Rnbeck and Jagland were in fact the only two members of the committee that strongly supported Obama for the prize. Inger-Marie Ytterhorn flat out stated Obama could not be trusted to keep his promises. Inger-Marie Ytterhorn has been proven correct. Obviously, there is readily available much more evidence to support the notion that a great deal of bias goes into the Nobel Prize selection process, and therefore the awarding of the prize to Einstein in 1921 for his work in the photoelectric effect deserves closer scrutiny. Keep in mind that by 1921, Communism was in full bloom and the subject of fashionable conversation in European salons from Paris to Berlin. The Russian Tsar Nicolas II, his wife and family had been murdered by Jews who were backed by Wall Street Jewish banker Jacob Schiff, who gave Trotsky and company $20 Million US Dollars in gold to finance the Russian Revolution. The Jewish communists, Lenin and Trotsky were brutally running the show in Russia by the time Einstein received his Nobel Prize in 1921 and as world opinion once again turned against the Jews. Therefore, the Jews were in need of hero that was not a villain in the eyes of the Western World, so why not Einstein? Oh please Jacknow youre really insulting us. Dont worry mate, you are still welcome at my house for dinner, and I promise to keep my Ku Klux Klan paraphernalia locked up in my footlocker along with my imaginary Lugerand dont believe everything you read or hear, what? On an interesting side note, George Bush, who was known for his kow-towing to New World Order Zionist Jews, (yes, this is a new subcategory that might prove useful to the observer in order to differentiate known Zionists interests) appointed Leon Trotskys great granddaughter, Nora Volkow, to run the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a US

261

government run research institute that is now the driving force behind the Obama administrations nonchalant attitude towards marijuana usage. Volkows appointment as Director underscores how the socialist left in the United States is dominated by Jewish intellectuals who lobby on one anothers behalf for high government positions and for the reception of thought-to-be prestigious prizes, awards, and selfaggrandizing accolades. The following is noted about Volkow on her Directors page of the NIDA website:
During her professional career, Dr. Volkow has been the recipient of multiple awards, including her selection for membership in the Institute of Medicine in the National Academy of Sciences and the International Prize from the French Institute of Health and Medical Research for her pioneering work in brain imaging and addiction science. She was recently named one of Time Magazine's "Top 100 People Who Shape our World", and was included as one of the 20 people to watch by Newsweek magazine in its "Who's Next in 2007" feature. She was also included in Washingtonian Magazine's 2009 list of the "100 Most Powerful Women" and named "Innovator of the Year" by U.S. News & World Report in 2000.

Now to be perfectly honest with my reader, there is nothing wrong with lobbying as it the accepted norm in U.S. politics and one has to admire the Jewish people for their dedication to organization, and for me personally, it is a trait that I admire. If I were only as adept at it, I would most certainly be sitting in some grand Washington smoking parlor right now making my case for the U.S. to stop pouring billions of dollars into Israel, money that is mainly being used for the build-up of a war machine that is currently in the hands of mad man that has an itchy trigger finger. As far as the science goes, Einstein was basically a genius mathematician, and chalkboard magician with the gift of gab. As previously mentioned, the actual theory of the Photoelectric Effect for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize was not in fact Einsteins, but rather the collective work of a half a dozen other physicists and scientists to include Heinrich Rudolph Hertz, Philipp Lenard, and Max Planck. Planck received the Nobel Prize in 1918 for his own work Einsteins contribution to science that earned his prize was his fancy mathematical explanations of the other scientists theories which apparently enamored Einsteins peers. Einstein was a quick-study or a practical man if you will, and immediately ascertained the value in the fame and notoriety of such prizes, and soon joined forces with colleagues as they began lobbying on behalf of one another to bring in the money and the prestige that s came with the prizes. Einsteins peers pushed for his nomination literally dozens of times.

262

Einsteins theory of Special Relativity has since been disproven, yet his Nobel Prize has not been returned. But that wouldnt be kosher now would it. According to Associate Professor Roberts who keeps an office at the Fermilab laboratory and appears to be the Chief Einstein Theory Defender in residence:
As SR has become the foundation of every one of our current fundamental theories of physics, it is essential that it be thoroughly tested. There are literally hundreds of successful tests of SR. But there are a handful of experiments that appear to be in conflict with SR; a careful analysis of them shows they do not really refute SR. The primary reason for this is the experiments are old and did not include a comprehensive error analysis, and their actual error bars are large enough to include the prediction of SR.

Of course the experiments are wrong Associate Professor Roberts they must befor we certainly could not have the very foundation of your ridiculous notion of Quantum Physics debunked for the flowery blackboard chalking snake oil that it has become now can we? Roberts, like others in his field who jealously defend their livelihood lest the imperfection of Einsteins theories unwind a whole cottage industry created around them, in my opinion speaks with a forked tongue in order to attempt to be partially intellectually honest. On his website, Roberts states:
Note, however, that SR is not perfect (in agreement with every experiment), and there are some experiments that are in disagreement with its predictions. See Experiments that apparently are not Consistent with SR where some of these experiments are referenced and discussed. It is clear that most, if not all, of these experiments have difficulties that are unrelated to SR. Note also that few if any standard references or textbooks even mention the possibility that some experiments might be inconsistent with SR, and there are also aspects of publication bias in the literature. That being said, as of this writing there are no reproducible and generally accepted experiments that are inconsistent with SR, within its domain of applicability.
[http://www.eduobservatory.org/physicsfaq/Relativity/SR/experiments.html#Experiment s_not_consistent_with_SR#Experiments_not_consistent_with_SR]

Wow, did you get that Einstein? Let me state it again:

There are no reproducible and generally accepted experiments that are inconsistent with SR within it domain of applicability.

Of course theyre not any professor, for who in their right mind would attempt to debunk the great Albert Einstein, whose photo is

263

plastered all over the walls of every junior high and high school in America? Some institutions we just dont touch, what? Examining the life of Einstein, reasonable thinkers that are not gullible to pre-conditioned Einstein mythology will most certainly walk away with the feeling that most of Einsteins work is not ground-breaking and that his life is not all that notable other than the fact that he did use his celebrity for a number of good causes in later life. In what I suspect will turn out to be one of the most comprehensive biographies written on Einstein, Isaacsons book entitled Einstein, His Life and Universe is replete with examples that point out the flaws of falling into the trap of Einstein worship. Though, I am certain that Isaacson had a different purpose in mind when writing the book, it no less leaves the intelligent reader scratching his head in dismay and Einstein looking like he just received a haircut. Common myths about Einstein are disproved in Isaacsons book, including the one that the socialist happy-clappers, who have invaded our nations schools, attempt to plant in the head of slow learners for the sake of making them feel good about themselves, that being that Einstein was a failure at math. He was indeed not. In fact, he learned the known advanced mathematics of algebra, geometry and calculus by the age of 15, which is the average age that most decent scholars of math today learn the same. So as regards Einsteins math knowledge, there is no mystery here, no longer any mythology worth googol-gawking over, pardon the pun, and certainly nothing to excessively brag about. Einstein was pushed into the notion of becoming a professor by his old physics professor Alfred Kleiner, who helped Einstein realize that becoming a professor carried more prestige than working in the patent office or be becoming a high-school teacher. But even Kleiner was reluctant in his own pursuit of standing for Einstein. It took a great deal of political schmoozing to get Einstein a post, one which was created for him, apparently due to his lack of teaching skill. According to Isaacson,
Einstein was upset, and he became even more so when he heard that Kleiners criticism of his teaching skills was being widely circulated, even in Germany.

Only by pitching the idea that the University of Zurich would achieve certain acclaim by opening up a theoretical physics department, was Kleiner able to overcome other objections to hiring Einstein. Einstein was pragmatic and not the bungling professor as oft implied by popular mythology. He carefully pursued a career of upward mobility, recognizing the importance of position over self. He even lied about his atheism in order to land his second paying position at the

264

University of Prague, a position that doubled his salary from the mere 5500 francs he received as his final salary in Zurich. Einstein wrote in Mosaic for religion which implied a religion based on belief in the concepts of religion as related to the biblical Moses. Most intelligent Jews fully understand that Einstein was being cute with semantics as the word Mosaic to Jews is really nothing short of Judaism. From a Catechism for Jewish Children by Isaac Leeser, Chapter 2, the following text describes Mosaic religion: 1. What religion do you profess? I believe in the Mosaic Religion, which was revealed by the Lord; and I esteem the same as the true, pure, and unmixed word of God. 2. Are you firmly convinced of the truth of this belief? I am firmly and completely convinced of the truth thereof, for the following reason: because the Mosaic Religion is based upon that celebrated revelation which God imparted in the immediate presence of a whole people, amidst extraordinary signs and wonders. 3. What is the peculiar distinguishing feature of the Mosaic Religion? It teaches that there is but one God, and that He is incorporeal and indivisible; that is to say, that there exists no other being who has power to create any thing, or to destroy the least of those things which God has made. That this God does not possess a material figure like all those things which we can perceive by our senses, which are called corporeal or bodily substances; and that lastly, He cannot by any means be divided into different parts, being always the same, and not liable to change. 4. Whence is the name "Mosaic Religion" derived? From MOSES, the son of Amram, of the tribe of Levi, through whom God communicated his law to the people of Israel. So also teaches the Bible: "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, to whom I commanded on Horeb statutes and judgments for all Israel." Malachi 3:22.

265

5. Was not the Deity known and worshipped already before Moses? Yes; for the patriarchs, and even before them, Enoch and Noah, acknowledged the Lord God, and worshipped Him. Although not all secular Jews share a similar Zionist philosophy as those embedded in the U.S. State Department, many Jews will close ranks and speak with one voice when it comes to their collective perception of identity and self-preservation in the context of their belief that their suffering has somehow been unique due to the number of Jews that lost their lives during World War II. Most Christians understand this point but what they fail to understand is that not many Jews are willing to die for their religion. Devout Christians and Muslims are willing to die for their religions. Jews are not. Zionists however are. There is a distinct difference. Christians make the mistake of assuming that Israels unbending stance in the peace talks is due to a fervent belief in God and Judaism. Nothing could be further from the truth. Israel is nothing short of a bully state that has the full faith and credit of the United States government backing its play. This is a point that U.S. Diplomats should take to heart when dealing with the so-called Middle East Peace process. If the world truly wants peace in the Middle East, then the United States must withdraw its support of Israel and let Israel know should they ever attempt to use nuclear weapons in a conflict that there would be hell to pay. One would think that taking this position with Israel would most certainly force it to make peace with its neighbors. However, given the fact that the U.S. State Departments Middle Eastern Affairs and Near Eastern Affairs Departments have a few Zionist ringers calling the shots, this is unlikely to happen anytime soon, and there are some that believe if we did this, Israel my prove itself to be the most maniacal aggressor state on the planet earth. This is a shame really, because I am quite certain that many Israelis just want to live in peace. During Einsteins tenure at the University of Prague, he attended a privately funded symposium called the Solvay Conference, put on by a rich industrialist who was a science junkie and dabbled in physics. What Einstein presented at the conference were his ideas on quanta, or that light particles existed in atom form, or measurable packets (quantized). According to Isaacson, as footnote 29 on page 169, Einstein noted on the subject of light that: These discontinuities, which we find so distasteful in Plancks theory, seem really to exist in nature.

266

Isaacson then states:

Really to exist in nature. It was, for Einstein, an odd phrase. To a pure proponent of Mach, or for that matter Hume, the whole phrase really to exist in nature lacked clear meaning. In his special relativity theory, Einstein had avoided assuming the existence of such things as absolute time and absolute distance, because it seemed meaningless to say that they really existed in nature when they couldnt be observed. But henceforth, during the more than four decades in which he would express his discomfort with quantum theory, he increasingly sounded like a scientific realist, someone who believed that an underlying reality existed in nature that was independent of our ability to observe or measure it.

As Einstein continued his work and came up with his general theory of relativity, he used an increasing amount of math which became known as Einsteins field equations to explain his theory. For example, Einstein created a mathematical formula for a cosmological constant in order to theorize that the universe was constant, neither contracting nor expanding. He was proven wrong. Observations by astronomer Edwin Hubble proved the universe is expanding, which left Einstein wringing his hands and having to accept the fact that he made a humiliating blunder. The most interesting chalkboard work by Einstein was his hoodwinking of the scientific community with a creatively written mathematical equation to explain the so-called law of conservation of energy which had already been mechanically explained by Joule, and which as pointed out by Scottish mathematical physicist Peter Guthrie Tait in 1877 was simply a rehashing of Sir Isaac Newtons propositions 40 and 41 in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathemetica; wa-lathe conservation of energy, proven by Newton by the use of geometry. It seems to me that most of the magical chalking done by Einstein and others who created the so-called field of quantum mechanics was a mere exercise in creative writing, and artistic mathematical symbolism rather than pure science as demonstrated through observation and application. There will of course be the dozens of philosophical arguments made by philosophers, professors and students whom occupy time and space in university lecture halls, beer halls, and coffee parlors, that pure science does not exist, and so on and so forth. It makes for great beer drinking. But what the heck, it sure looks good when scribbled across a blackboard, what? Surely Einstein and Alan Greenspan must have crossed paths in a former life. The more one reads the equations and the footnotes related to the equations put forth by so-called quantum

267

physicists, the more apparent it becomes that they are mostly snake-oil that can be reduced down to the elements of Euclidian geometry. So what does this all mean? Well that all depends upon whether or not one believes in hero worship, snake-oil, the Jewish superiority myth perpetuated some proud members of the Jewish community at large, and modern Quantum Physics. At the very least, it may shed some light on a few historical frauds and inconsistencies that help perpetuate popular mythology and the hero worship of popular historical figures such as Albert Einstein, Alan Greenspan, The Nobel Prize Committee, and Barack Obama. It also serves to educate U.S. citizens about the snake oil they have been sold in the name of history which has a direct bearing on how the U.S. Department of State is now negotiating on behalf of all Americans. In my view, it is a fools game that is being played out in Washington D.C., and within the context of so-called Middle East Peace Process, we the people are looking pretty foolish in the eyes of the other 7 billion other people that populate the planet earth.

Contemplating Dynamite The reference here is actually to a substance known as cordite, not dynamite. Dynamite however seemed the more appropriate title as it reflects both the Nobel Peace Prize reference and another and less well known fact about Einstein, that being that his first heroic visit to the United States where he triumphantly disembarked his ship on April 3rd, 1921 to both the singing of the National Anthem and the Zionist theme song, had nothing to do with science, but rather had all to about Chaim Weizmanns Zionist ambition of establishing a Jewish homeland. According to Walter Isaacson, Einsteins trip was fully managed by Weizmanns Zionist organization; however the people in America had no interest in Zionism at the time and only wanted to hear more about Einsteins science:
As soon as they were permitted, dozens of reporters and cameramen rushed aboard. The press officer of the Zionist organization told Einstein that he would have to attend a press conference. I cant do that, he protested. Its like undressing in public. But he could, of course, and did.

When asked about those scientists that opposed his theories, Einstein pulled out the anti-semitism card in response. He was now fully on board with the Zionists. During his trip, Einsteins handlers had clashes with the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice of the United States, Louis Brandeis, who was noted to be a leader of a U.S. based Zionist group. Brandeis was a Harvard graduate and Weizmanns crowd felt slighted by the institution of, Harvard because Einstein had not been invited to give lectures there plus the president of the University, A. Lawrence Lowell spoke to him in French. I would also note that whomever the Jewish editor is that is the gatekeeper for editing the Wikipedia file on Haim Weizmann, has intentionally attempted to mislead the public about Einsteins trip to the United States. In Wikipedia, the entry reads:
In 1921, Weizmann went along with Albert Einstein for a fund-raiser to establish the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and support the Technion Israel Institute of Technology.

Walter Isaacson, the highly respected historian sets the record straight:
Einstein had initially thought that his first visit to America might be a way to make some money in stable currency in order to provide for his family in

271

Switzerland. I have demanded $15,000 from Princeton and Wisconsin, he told Ehrenfest. It will probably scare them off. But if they do bit, I will be buying economic independence for myselfand thats not a thing to sniff at. The American universities did not bite. My demands were too high, he reported back to Ehrenfest. So by February 1921, he had made other plans for the spring: he would present a paper at the third Slovay Conference in Brussels and give some lectures in Leiden at the behest of Ehrenfest. It was then that Kurt Blumenfeld, leader of the Zionist movement in Germany, came to Einsteins apartment once again. Exactly two years earlier, Blumenfeld had visited Einstein and enlisted his support for the cause of creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Now he was coming with an invitationor perhaps an istructionin the form of a telegram from the president of the World Zionist Organization, Chaim Weizmann. Weizmanns telegram invited Einstein to accompany him on a trip to America to raise funds to help settle Palestine and, in particular, to create Hebrew University in Jerusalem. When Blumfeld read it him, Einstein initially balked. He was not an orator, he said, and the role of simply using his celebrity to draw crowds to the cause was an unworthy one. Blumenfeld did not argue. Instead, he simply read Weizmanns telegram aloud again. He is the president of our organization, Blumenfeld said, and if you take your conversion to Zionism seriously, then I have the right to ask you, in Dr. Weizmanns name, to go with him to the United States. What you say is right and convincing, Einstein replied, to the boundless astonishment of Blumenfeld. I realize that I myself am now part of the situation and that I must accept the invitation.

Zionist critics of this book are no doubt burning up in red-faced shame about now, having been caught red-handed at manipulating the historical record on Zionism in order to make it more palatable to the U.S. Taxpayers whom have been propping up the Welfare State of Israel, but I can assure them its ok, as not too many Christian American supporters of Israel have a clue as to whom Chaim Weizmann was in the first place. The fact that Zionists continue to feel a need to manipulate the media in order to present their case to the consciousness of worldopinion speaks volumes as to why the U.S. State Department is misguided in its Middle Eastern foreign policy as related to Israel. There are also a couple of videos posted on YouTube that cover the Zionists desire to manipulate the content of Wikipedia. One of the videos covers a seminar given in Israel where the specific goal of the event was to teach Zionist Jews how to properly edit Wikipedia in order to set the Jewish record straight. One must assume that such editing was indeed done to doctor up the dossier on Chaim Weizmann. Here is the link to two videos that

272

point out the bias of Wikipedia, should they still be available on YouTube and not removed by the JIDL censors:
[http://youtu.be/Fx0aX7sAT4U] [http://youtu.be/hMBramnCg_s]

In the second video related to Wikipedia editing, Naftali Bennet who is the Director of the Yesha Council, the organization that put on the seminar, stated the following:
In conjunction with My Israel has arranged uh..instruction day for wiki editors, the goal of the day is touhteach people how to edit in Wikipediawhich is the number one source of information today in the worldas way of exampleif someone searches the Gaza Flotilla.we wanna be there, we wanna be the guys who influence what is written there, how its written, and to ensure that its balanced and Zionist in nature.

Sorry Mr. Bennet, but the words balanced and Zionist just dont work in the same sentence. However, what is more important to the overall subject matter of this book is not whether or not Einstein was a Zionist, supported Zionism, or rejected it, but rather who was this man named Chaim Weizmann, Einsteins Zionist recruiter. According to Isaacson:
Weizmann was a brilliant biochemist who had emigrated from Russia to England, where he helped his adopted nation in the First World War by coming up with a bacterial method for more efficiently manufacturing the explosive cordite. During the war he worked under former prime minister Arthur Balfour, who was then first lord of the Admiralty. He subsequently helped to persuade Balfour, after he became foreign secretary, to issue the famous 1917 declaration in which Britain pledged to support the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.

Weizmann eventually became the first Prime Minister of Israel on February 1st, 1949.

Einstein's Photo

This photo taken of the King David Hotel being blown up proves that the intent of the Jewish terrorist group, The Irgun, was to kill British citizens. This photo also proves that the Zionist claim that they gave the British a warning was false as the member of the Irgun who took this photo could have physically warned the British and stopped the plot. One also has to question why this photo was in the possession of Einstein's estate. What did Einstein know of this crime prior to it being carried out?

Protest Letter against Menachem Begins Visit to New York City Presented to the New York Times on December 2nd, 1948 [Editorial Commentary: To put this letter in perspective, we must remember that the State of Israel had been announced on May 14th, 1948, and President Truman on behalf of the United States officially recognized Israel on the same day in order to get the Zionists off his back. He also had a few letter bombs fresh on his mind that had been sent his way courtesy of the Stern Gang. Many Jewish intellectuals in the United States and elsewhere did not support the Zionist cause due to its involvement in terrorism as a means to achieve its objectives. Albert Einstein, who had once been hoodwinked by Chaim Weismann into supporting the Zionist cause, was one of them. His signature is at the bottom of the following letter.] Letter to the New York Times: New Palestine Party Visit of Menachem Begin and Aims of Political Movement Discussed To the Editors of the New York Times: Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine. The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States. Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin's political record and perspectives, could add their names and support to the movement he represents. Before irreparable damage is done by way of financial contributions, public manifestations in Begin's behalf, and the creation in

275

Palestine of the impression that a large segment of America supports Fascist elements in Israel, the American public must be informed as to the record and objectives of Mr. Begin and his movement. The public avowals of Begin's party are no guide whatever to its actual character. Today they speak of freedom, democracy and antiimperialism, whereas until recently they openly preached the doctrine of the Fascist state. It is in its actions that the terrorist party betrays its real character; from its past actions we can judge what it may be expected to do in the future. Attack on Arab Village A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war, and had even fought off Arab bands who wanted to use the village as their base. On April 9, terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants240 men, women, and children and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem. Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent a telegram of apology to King Abdullah of TransJordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre, publicized it widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the country to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Deir Yassin. The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party. Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultranationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their stead they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model. During the last years of sporadic anti-British violence, the IZL and Stern groups inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community. Teachers were beaten up for speaking against them, adults were shot for not letting their children join them. By gangster methods, beatings, window-smashing, and wide-spread robberies, the terrorists intimidated the population and exacted a heavy tribute. The people of the Freedom Party have had no part in the constructive achievements in Palestine. They have reclaimed no land, built no settlements, and only detracted from the Jewish defense activity.

276

Their much-publicized immigration endeavors were minute, and devoted mainly to bringing in Fascist compatriots. Discrepancies Seen The discrepancies between the bold claims now being made by Begin and his party, and their record of past performance in Palestine bear the imprint of no ordinary political party. This is the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a "Leader State" is the goal. In the light of the foregoing considerations, it is imperative that the truth about Mr. Begin and his movement be made known in this country. It is all the more tragic that the top leadership of American Zionism has refused to campaign against Begin's efforts, or even to expose to its own constituents the dangers to Israel from support to Begin. The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a few salient facts concerning Begin and his party; and of urging all concerned not to support this latest manifestation of fascism.

This photo is of the King David Hotel after having been blown up with a bomb by the Irgun on July 22, 1946, the Jewish terrorists who were pushing to get the British to allow more Jews to move into Palestine. The Hotel housed the British Secretariat, the military command and the Criminal Investigation Division of the police. Israel's terrorist organization, the Irgun, was founded in 1931, a full 51 years earlier than Hezbollah. This group also murdered two British Military Officers and hung their bodies from trees after the British hung three of the groups terrorists. Five were to be executed, however two blew themselves up with suicide bombs, thus it was Israeli terrorist that invented the suicide bomber. The Irgun eventually merged with the the right wind Heretz political party which has evolved since into the Likud Party, the party of PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Member of the Irgun joined Fascist Muslims in World War II to fight the British. King David Hotel Bombed by Jewish Terrorists on July 22, 1946.

The Origins of Terrorism

"In almost every conquered village, Zionist forces committed war crimes such as indiscriminate killings, massacres and rapes."

From 1947 to 1948, which was the final year of the British Mandate Government in Palestine , and prior to U.N. Declaration 281 which split Palestine into two area, the soldiers of the Yishuv (Jews living in Palestine), committed over 70 massacres on their Arab neighbors of the ethnic cleansing variety by slaughtering men, women, and children. The Jews also turned on the British who refused to allow more Jewish refugees into Palestine following World War II due the British realization that it would cause a major conflict with non-Jewish Palestinians. The Jewish terrorist organization The Irgun used kidnapping, murder, and bombings in an attempt to help the Palestinian Jews accomplish their goals of ethnic cleansing. In 1946, the Irgun blew up the King David Hotel which housed the HQ of the British government. Ninety-one people were killed in the blast which demolished the southern wing where the British government offices were located, to include only thirty-five Englishmen; the remaider were Arabs and Jews. John Shaw, Chief Secretary of the Mandate Government in a taped interview with the BBC stateded that no phone calls were received at the hotel as the Irgun claimed were made in warning to the British. Shaw states this was a fabrication by Menachem Begin, the leader of the Irgun. This video is available on YouTube
[http://youtu.be/4ZHHTjuv5jc]

[Partial Transcript:] When asked about the supposed Irgun warning, John Shaw emphatically states:
NO, definitely not, that is a very old story which was put out by Mr. Begin and the Irgun after the eventI dont want to comment on the story except to say that it is absolutely untruethat no warning was made to me or any member in the buiding, or reached us in any way whatever and even if I had of done,and even if I had of done, even supposing I had received it, I could not have in the time evacuated the site.

The Irgun were terrorists, yet in 2006, the Menachem Begin Center in Israel held a celebration to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the event. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former terrorists of the Irgun were in attendance. [http://youtu.be/2cWn_GrCVqk].

What follows is the complete reference from the Smith book noted on previous page: Pg. 229 - On another occasion, in the summer of 1947 I was summoned back to Washington from my vacation because controversy over important issues, including the Palestine question, had greatly increased the volume of mail to the President. I was rather surprised that the volume should be more than could be handled routinely by the office but when I got back I found that not all the difficulty was due to volume. Some of the letters received had obviously been intended to kill. There had been a flurry in England in June of that summer Pg. 230 - because eight or more government officials and political personages had received terrorist letters in which explosives were cleverly concealed. Among those who got such letters were Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech Jones, President of the Board of Trade Sir Stafford Cripps, and former Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. Crippss secretary noticed that the letter he received was hot (police said later it was apparently about ready to explode) and he stuck it in water. Eden carried his letter unopened in his briefcase for twenty-four hours before a secretary, tipped off by police, found it. There were two envelopes, the outer one about eight by six inches and cream-colored. The inner envelope was marked Private and Confidential, presumably in an effort to see that it was opened by the man to whom it was addressed. Inside the second envelope was powdered gelignite, a pencil battery, and a detonator arranged to explode when the envelope was opened. Police exploded one experimentally and said that it was powerful enough to kill a man. The so-called Stern gang of Palestine terrorists later claimed responsibility for having sent the letters from its branch in Europe. The letters were postmarked from Italy. The same kind of terrorist letters had been found in the White House mail, and as a result the staff had been handling all letters with great care, thus slowing up the routine. So far as I know none of those received in this country resulted in an explosion, which may have been due to the excellent system introduced for handling the White House mail during the war.

Assassination Attempt on Truman by Jewish Terrorists, The Stern Gang

"Sorry about the Bomb fella, How about a Menorah to Make Amends" President Truman graciously accepts a Menorah from Zionist Terrorist David Ben-Gurion, the first PM of Israel. Abba Eban, Israel's first Ambassador to the U.S. looks on.

285

On December 11th, 0f 1947, six Arabs were killed by bombs tossed into Arab buses in the City of Haifa. The bombs were thrown by Jewish terrorists. Twelve other Arabs were killed and many more were injured by other Zionist attacks near Haifa on the same day. So now we know why Arabs placed bombs on buses during the Intifadathey were merely following the example shown them by their Semitic Jewish cousins! In Safad on December 19th of the same year, the Haganah blew up two houses killing ten Arabs. Once a group of killers gets the taste of blood on their lips, it is hard for them to stop killing. In April of the following year 120-200 Arabs in Deir Yassin were slaughtered depending upon who is telling the story. Deir Yassin up until that point had been neutral in the conflict between Arabs and Jews. The Jews went house to house throwing grenades and shooting innocents in the back. One Arab who witnessed the event stated that after the main slaughter, fourteen of those remaining alive were lined up in a rock quarry and mowed down by machine guns, and then their bodies were dumped in the quarry. Others state that rape and other atrocities occurred. If this image is disturbing, it should be, because this is exactly what happened to Jews in Poland during World War II. All told, over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were kicked off their lands, disposed of their homes and farms, and forced into refugee camps. In this two year period, 385 Arab villages were completely demolished. If you are an honest American that believes in freedom and justice, you have to ask yourself one question? Why should one group of people be allowed to profit from terrorism? The second question, directly related to the first, why are we Americans supporting Israel, a nation founded on terrorism, a nation that invented terrorism for media effect, and a nation that invented the suicide bomber? Once again, I suspect some readers may be dumbfounded about now, having learned a disturbing bit of historical truth. I urge all Americans to delve into the history of Israel and stop ignorantly believing what the Jewish controlled media filters out of the news in order that American tax payers are unable to make informed opinions as to whether or not we should be aiding and abetting the State of Israel and its policy of Apartheid. Once you do, and if you are honest and not biased by religious bigotry or hatred, you may come to a very different view of the nation of Israel. Does this mean all Israelis are to be scorned? No it does not. And there are a growing number of Israelis that fully understand what a Democracy is and should be.

286

Many Christian Americans seem to blindly support Israel because of what they believe about religion. Newsflash: Zionists use religion in the United State to manipulate Christians. Way too many Americans have been hoodwinked by the notion that Jews are Gods chosen people, just because their Good Book says it is so. This provides a clever means by which to persuade Christians to follow their lead in world affairs. Most Christians have simply never thought it through, for if they did they would realize that the first Christians were in fact converted Hebrews, or Judeans as the word Jew did not exist in the time of Christ. There will be more on this subject later. Religion is a powerful force to be reckoned with due to the fact that thousands of years of brainwashing are hard to overcome, even when one is dealing with rational minds proclaiming to believe in the scientific method. When you write your own book, you can pretty much say whatever suits you, and it is amazing that in the 21st Century, religious people who believe the world is round have not figured out this profound and key element of religious mind control and brainwashing. The Jewish hierarchy fully understands this, and many laugh privately at what they consider to be the ignorance of Christians. Christians will most likely be surprised to learn that over 35% of all Jews do not believe in God. The following statement comes from the website [simpletoremember.com, Judaism online]:
On the one hand belief in G-d is slightly up from the 1990 survey [from 63% - 65%]. Belief in reward and punishment, that the Torah is G-d given, and that we are the Chosen Nation is all up. Yet, the numbers of people defining themselves as traditional has dropped from 42% to 35% while the numbers who define themselves as non-religious has risen from 38% to 43%. This reflects a greater polarization of Israeli society, and it means that future kiruv efforts towards the secular Israeli population are likely to become more challenging. [kiruv means the practice of converting secular or worldly Jews into Orthodox or perhaps right wing Zionists that believe homosexuality is an abomination, women are second class citizens, and Christians have no place in Israel].

The key mythology that serves as the foundation of Judaism, and therefore Christianity as laid out in the books [i.e., Scrolls, Torah, Bible, Gospels, etc.,] was lifted or plagiarized from earlier Egyptian religious mythology, namely the myth of Osiris, which was the model for both the Old Testament Joseph Myth and the New Testament Jesus Myth. The theme of One Sun/Son and Twelve Tribes, Twelve Sons, Twelve Apostles

287

and Twelve symbols of the Zodiac should serve as a clue to anyone wishing to debunk religious mythology as being the gospel truth so to speak. It appears that ancient man in this respect was far ahead of modern man. Ancient man figured out the astrological Zodiac by scientifically studying the stars. Those who were bent on controlling other men used this scientific information through the very first mechanical element of literature known as allegory to establish religions. The uneducated masses that did not possess the astrological knowledge of the scientists were the first to be hoodwinked and have successfully been hoodwinked ever since. It is utterly amazing that intelligent people today have not figured this out and returned to science which includes astrology. However true, the power of emotions and the depth to which believers of religious myth have been brainwashed more often than not prevails over rational thought and common sense. The real shocker is that the real Jews or should we say the ones that espouse Zionism do not follow the Bible, or the Torah, but rather the Talmud as being the final say so on what is and what aint. And brother, let me tell youthis stack of books has some mind-blowing things written in it. The Talmud purports to explain the laws, customs, and events as delineated throughout the history of Jews. I put the word jew in brackets because attempting to define what a Jew is and what a Jew aint, is tedious at best. For the sake of generalization, I will use the word Jew rather loosely to describe the persona of a Jew as imagined by the average Christian, that being one that comes to us straight from God straight out of the Old Testament straight out the freaking desert smack dab in the middle of the Holy Lands. But let me state at the same time that most Christians are totally ignorant on the History of the so-called Jews. This is not meant as an insult to my reader but rather a starting point from which one may wish to do more research upon the completion of reading this book, thus I have included additional information throughout this book to help one get started at it should one desire to do so. In America, the average person generally holds some belief in one religion or another. I believe that all religions should be respected to some degreesay up to about 99.9C however I make the assertion that Christianity is now under attack from the Jewish owned media and the New Left, [Socialists, and Communists]. No matter how much intellectual balderdash is thrown into the defense of the mainstream media claiming otherwise, facts are facts and if you hold the power to deliver to millions of people a message twenty four hours each day, you also hold the responsibility of using that power in a responsible, non-bigoted manner.

288

The JDL, or Jewish Defense League otherwise known as the pit bulldog watch-group for defending anything remotely construed as intellectual property of the Jewish people, and who will most certainly find blasphemous and anti-semitic fault with this book, is quite clear on the notion that the integrity of the Jewish blood line and keeping orthodox religiosity pure is key to the survival of Jews everywhere. Atheism is also listed as an Enemy of the Jews because it undermines their sway over the ignorant masses, which includes the millions of Christians they manipulate by keeping their attention focused on the Holy Lands. The so-called bridge-building Christian groups that are supporting Jewish organizations which are becoming more prevalent in America are nothing short of cogs in the Zionist propaganda machine. On the JDL website will be found a link at the bottom of the home page labeled Enemies. Under this tell-tale heading the sub-heading Threats and Adversaries will be found, followed by a list of so-called threats that in many instances are flat out bigoted, and prejudiced against any peoples of non-Jewish descent. Included here one will find among others: Assimilation & Intermarriage, Atheism, Political Correctness, Jewish Traitors, and Scholarly Jew Hatred. Quoting directly from the JDL website, we learn the following:
On Assimilation and Intermarriage: There is perhaps no greater threat to the well-being of Am Yisrael, the Jewish nation, than assimilation and its all too natural consequence, intermarriage. The Jewish Defense League seeks to combat not only the multifarious physical and spiritual forms of Jew-hatred but also the spiritual malaise of Jewish indifference and ignorance, and the threat of Jewish affection for the non-Jew. On Atheism A natural outcome of assimilation and secularism is atheism, and it's a pernicious threat to Jews. This is an on-going tragedy that has been with Jews as a serious problem for at least the last one hundred years with the establishment of Reform Judaism, although the problem goes back further than that to the beginning of normalization of Jewish citizenship in the Exile.

It is a simple truth that those who live by the gun, die by the gun. So in the end, all terrorists eventually get whats coming to them. Yitzak Rabin, although both the Prime Minister of Israel at two separate times in history and a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize along with

289

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, eventually got his comeuppance in the way of three bullets fired from the gun of another Jew who actually thought Rabin had gone soft as a Zionist. We as a nation can tap dance around this reality all we want. We can call others terrorist while ignoring the terrorists we support when it suits us, and we can ignore our own immoral terrorist activities and socalled pre-emptive acts of murder. But what goes around comes around so to speak. You may call it karma, providence, God speaking, or a coincidence, whatever your proclivity, it simply doesnt matter. And it does not matter whether you are the foot soldier on the battlefield, the commander sitting high upon the hill in a tent or a commander in chief looking down from upon an ivory towerif you kill others unjustly, you will eventually suffer either from the reciprocation of death as an act of revenge from the offended party, an accidental bullet from your own gun, or your own soul will torment you to the point of you getting cancer, other diseases, or perhaps placing your own gun to your right temporal lobe and blowing your own brains out. I highly recommend Russian roulette to any murderer out there looking for a thrill. It is especially recommended for Zionist agitators and I can assure you it is a game that you can win, for after all, you always winas long as you have American tax dollars funding your killing. You know who you are. You know that you have slaughtered innocents. Surely you are man or woman enough to spin the cylinder, what? For does it not require a really big man to take a sniper shot at an innocent Arab kid playing in a field?

The Propaganda Value of Harry S. Truman Israeli Zionist fully understand the value of making amends for the failed assassination attempt on Truman In order to make amends for the assassination attempt on President Harry S. Truman by the Stern Gang, the Israeli propaganda machine quickly jumped into action and immediately began naming things after Truman. However, no members of the Truman family ever set foot in Israel to be present at the dedication of the sites. According to an article entitled Independence Day, How Israel remembers Harry Truman, the U.S. president who recognized Israel, that was first published in the South Dakota Jewish Press-Heritage on May 5th, 2000 and now appears on website jewishsightseeing.com written by Donald H. Harrison, we learn the following:
"President Truman was a friend of Israel," Miriam Yaari explained to visitors earlier this year. "But in all due respect to him, I would have preferred it still be named for the Palmach. A lot of blood was shed." In Jerusalem, years later, Truman was accorded a far more enthusiastic honor: The Hebrew University named for him its Harry S Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace. B'nai Har'el was hardly more than a rough settlement in 1950 when representatives of the Jewish Agency approached the villagers. If they would be willing to change the name to Kfar Truman, the Jewish Agency would encourage the Israeli government to grant the community official recognition, thereby entitling it to such services as roads, running water and electricity. The founders agreed, and eventually representatives of the American Jewish community came to the village and, with the residents, conducted a ceremony officially changing its name. For good measure, the forest alongside Kfar Truman was renamed for Margaret Truman, daughter of the American president. No representative of the Truman family or even of the United States government attended the ceremony changing the addresses of approximately 70 families, according to Yaari. "The only people who came were from the committee (of American Jews) and the Jewish Agency," he said.

Harrison claims in the same article that Truman was too frail to travel to Israel in 1970 for the dedication of the The Truman Institute at Hebrew University. Harrison obviously has been hoodwinked by the Zionist propagandists for in 1970, biographer Thomas Fleming was drinking whiskey with the ex-President and dining with him and his wife for eight day straight while they worked on the biography Fleming was writing with the help Trumans daughter Margaret. Here is an excerpt from that biography.

291

President Truman insisted we had to christen Margarets literary venture with bourbon and branch water, and I found myself with a rather dark brown glass in my hand. Truman gazed at me for a moment through his thick glasses and said, Young man, theres one more thing I need to know about you. Have you always been a Democrat? There was a twinkle in his eyes, but I sensed he was not entirely joking. Fortunately I was brought up in the bosom of the Democratic Party, in Jersey City, a town famous for its ferocious politics. In our front hall, where many other Irish-American families displayed a print of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, my politician father hung a framed portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Mr. President, I replied, My father was leader of the Sixth Ward in Jersey City. As far as I know, no one in the family has ever voted anything but the straight ticket. Thats what I wanted to hear! Truman exclaimed, and all but knocked the glass out of my hand with a resounding clink. So began eight of the most remarkable days of my life. Margaret and I spent our mornings and afternoons at the nearby Truman Presidential Library, plowing through the presidents papers. We had lunch and dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Truman each day and usually spent an extra hour or two with them after dinner, chatting in their tiny library.

In any respect, if Israel had really wanted to honor Truman, why did they wait until he was 84 years old to do so? I personally find the whole sideshow despicable on the part of Israel.

James R. Clapper Director of National Intelligence January 31, 2012

Terrorism
Core Al-Qaida in Decline With Usama bin Ladins death, the global jihadist movement lost its most iconic and inspirational leader, even for disaffected members of the group. We do not assess that al-Qaidas new leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, will change al-Qaidas strategic direction, but most al-Qaida members find Zawahiris leadership style less compelling than bin Ladins image as a holy man and warrior, and will not offer him the deference they gave bin Ladin. The death or capture of prominent al-Qaida figures since bin Ladins death has shrunk the layer of top lieutenants directly under Zawahiri. These losses, combined with the long list of earlier losses since CT operations intensified in 2008, lead us to assess that core al-Qaidas ability to perform a variety of functionsincluding preserving leadership and conducting external operationshave weakened significantly. [Editorial Note: CT operations refer to counter-terrorism hunt down and kill squads, both with ground based intelligence and CIA drones] We judge that al-Qaidas losses are so substantial and its operating environment so restricted that a new group of leaders, even if they could be found, would have difficulty integrating into the organization and compensating for mounting losses. We judge that with its degraded capabilities al-Qaida increasingly will seek to execute smaller, simpler plots to demonstrate relevance to the global jihad, even as it aspires to mass casualty and economically damaging attacks, including against the United States and US interests overseas. With sustained CT pressure, we anticipate that core al-Qaida will suffer sustained degradation, diminished cohesion, and decreasing influence in the coming year.

Leadership of the Global Jihad We assess that core al-Qaida still communicates with its affiliates, but its ability to do so probably rests with only a few remaining senior leaders and their communications facilitators. We judge senior leaders almost certainly believe that persistent contact with affiliates is necessary to influence them to act on al-Qaidas global priorities and preserve a unified narrative.

295

The IC judges that al-Qaidas regional affiliatesal-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), and al-Shabaabwill remain committed to the groups ideology, and in terms of threats to US interests will surpass the remnants of core al-Qaida in Pakistan. We expect that each group will seek opportunities to strike Western targets in its operating area, but the intent and ability of each affiliate to conduct transnational attacks varies widely. The future of any affiliate, and its role in the jihadist movement, will depend on how external forces (primarily the pace and effectiveness of CT operations) and internal forces (the competition between the local and global jihadist agendas) play out. Despite the death in September of AQAP transnational operations chief and US person Anwar al-Aulaqi, we judge AQAP remains the node most likely to attempt transnational attacks. His death probably reduces, at least temporarily, AQAPs ability to plan transnational attacks, but many of those responsible for implementing plots, including bombmakers, financiers, and facilitators, remain and could advance plots. We assess that AQI will remain focused on overthrowing the Shia-led government in Baghdad in favor of a Sunni-led Islamic caliphate. It probably will attempt attacks primarily on local Iraqi targets, including government institutions, Iraqi Security Forces personnel, Shia civilians, and recalcitrant Sunnis, such as members of the Sons of Iraq, and will seek to re-build support among the Sunni population. In its public statements, the group also supports the goals of the global jihad, and we are watchful for indications that AQI aspires to conduct attacks in the West.

In Africa, AQIM and al-Shabaab are prioritizing local interestscombating regional CT operationsover transnational operations. Al-Shabaab has many sub-clans with divergent interests; most rank and file fighters have no interest in global jihad. Internal divisions and diminished local support for al-Shabaab in the wake of the 2011 humanitarian crisis, coupled with military pressure from the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), Transitional Federal Government (TFG), Kenya, and Ethiopia, have eroded al-Shabaabs control in southern Somalia. In late 2011, Kenyan troops moved to encircle the port of Kismaayo, the port al-Shabaab has used in past years to generate much of its revenue. The ability of anti-Shabaab forces to consolidate gains, control proxy forces, and win support of local clans will be key to preventing al-Shabaabs reclamation of Somali territory. We assess that most al-Shabaab members in 2012 will remain focused on battling AMISOM, TFG, and Ethiopian/Kenyan-backed forces in Somalia. However, other al-Shabaab leaders may intend to expand the groups influence and plan attacks outside areas that al-Shabaab controls in southern and central Somalia, such as in East Africa; al-Shabaab fighters were responsible for twin bombings in Uganda in July 2010. Members of the groupparticularly a foreign fighter cadre that includes US passport holdersmay also have aspirations to attack inside the United States; however, we lack insight into concrete operational plans outside the Horn of Africa.

Other militant and terrorist networks will continue to threaten US interests outside their primary operating areas. However, we judge that most lack either the capability or intent to plan, train for, and execute sophisticated attacks in the United States. Tehrik-e Taleban Pakistan (TTP), for example, is likely to remain heavily engaged against the

296

Pakistani military and Coalition forces in Afghanistan, while providing some support to the Afghan insurgency.

WMD Threat: Iran We assess Iran is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons, in part by developing various nuclear capabilities that better position it to produce such weapons, should it choose to do so. We do not know, however, if Iran will eventually decide to build nuclear weapons. Iran nevertheless is expanding its uranium enrichment capabilities, which can be used for either civil or weapons purposes. As reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency, to date, Iran in late October 2011 had about 4,150 kg of 3.5 percent LEUF6 and about 80 kg of 20-percent enriched UF6 produced at Natanz. Iran confirmed on 9 January that it has started enriching uranium for the first time at its second enrichment plant, near Qom. Irans technical advancement, particularly in uranium enrichment, strengthens our assessment that Iran has the scientific, technical, and industrial capacity to eventually produce nuclear weapons, making the central issue its political will to do so. These advancements contribute to our judgment that Iran is technically capable of producing enough highly enriched uranium for a weapon, if it so chooses. We judge Iran would likely choose missile delivery as its preferred method of delivering a nuclear weapon. Iran already has the largest inventory of ballistic missiles in the Middle East, and it is expanding the scale, reach, and sophistication of its ballistic missile forces, many of which are inherently capable of carrying a nuclear payload. We judge Irans nuclear decision making is guided by a cost-benefit approach, which offers the international community opportunities to influence Tehran. Iranian leaders undoubtedly consider Irans security, prestige, and influence, as well as the international political and security environment, when making decisions about its nuclear program. Irans growing inventory of ballistic missiles and its acquisition and indigenous production of anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM) provide capabilities to enhance its power projection. Tehran views its conventionally armed missiles as an integral part of its strategy to deterand if necessary retaliate againstforces in the region, including US forces. Its ballistic missiles are inherently capable of delivering WMD, and, if so armed, would fit into this strategy.

US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta States No Iranian Bomb No information on Iran decision to build a nuclear bomb: Panetta [Editorial Note on Copyright: This article republished in entirety in hopes
of preventing nuclear war.]

US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says Washington has not yet achieved any concrete information that proves Iran is building a nuclear weapon. "I do not have any specific information that indicates (the Iranians) have made any decision one way or another" on whether to build a nuclear weapon, Panetta told reporters on Thursday after a meeting with his Chilean counterpart Andres Allamand, AFP reported. Panetta also pointed to the recent remarks by Israel's military chief Lieutenant General Benny Gantz describing Iran's leadership as very rational and expressed hope his statements were "correct." In an interview with the Israeli daily Haaretz published on Wednesday, Gantz said the Iranian leadership "is composed of very rational people" who are not likely to make a decision to manufacture a nuclear bomb. The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program. Washington and Tel Aviv have time and again threatened Tehran with the "option" of a military strike against its civilian nuclear facilities. Iran argues that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. The IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence indicating that Tehran's nuclear energy program has been diverted to nuclear weapons production.

Political Unrest in Israel is Growing

A little known fact about Israel is that poverty is skyrocketing and the division between the rich and the poor is greater than anywhere else on the face of the earth. Here are little known facts about a growing crises that is masked behind political subterfuge and a disinformation campain by the Apartheid Israeli government:
Many on the left in Israel are also deeply troubled by the political and economic power of right-wing settlers on the West Bank, but most decline to bring the Palestinian issue into the movements demands for fear of losing support among the middle class. For the same reason, the way the Israeli movement was inspired by Tahrir Square and the Egyptian revolution has been downplayed, although Walk like an Egyptian signsa reference both to the Cairo demonstrations and the 1986 Bangles hit songhave been spotted on Rothschild Avenue. Most of the Israeli activists in the coastal cities know that they are victims of the same neoliberal order that displaces the Palestinians, punishes them, and keeps them stateless. Indeed, the Palestinians, altogether lacking a state but at the complete mercy of various forms of international capital controlled by elites elsewhere, are the ultimate victims of the neoliberal order. But in order to avoid a split in the Israeli protest movement, a quiet agreement was reached to focus on economic discontents and so avoid the divisive issue of the much-despised West Bank settlements. There has been little reporting in the Western press about a key source of Israeli unease, which was palpable to me when I visited the country in May. Even then, before the local protests had fully hit their stride, Israelis I met were complaining about the rise to power of an Israeli 1%. There are now 16 billionaires in the country, who control $45 billion in assets, and the current crop of 10,153 millionaires is 20% percent larger than it was in the previous fiscal year. In terms of its distribution of wealth, Israel is now among the most unequal of the countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Since the late 1980s, the average household income of families in the bottom fifth of the population has been declining at an annual rate of 1.1%. Over the same period, the average household income of families among the richest 20% went up at an annual rate of 2.4%.

Israeli Nuclear Scientist Mordechai Vanunu Exposed Israel's Nuclear Weapons Program Now incarcerated for over 24 years under Israel's Apartheid Regime

24 Years of Apartheid for Vanunu

[Reprinted by Permission of Dr. Vanunu]

Mordechai Vanunu, a former Israeli nuclear technician, completed his entire 18-year sentence in Israel's Ashkelon Prison on April 21, 2004, for blowing the whistle on his government's secret nuclear weapons program. Captured by Israeli agents on September 30, 1986, he spent more than 11 1/2 years in solitary confinement. One of 11 children of Moroccan Jewish parents who emigrated to Israel in 1963, when he was 9 years old, Vanunu served in the Israeli army and then went to work as a young man in the Dimona nuclear "research center" in the Negev Desert near his home at Beersheba. The facility harbored an underground plutonium separation plant operated in strictest secrecy. As the years went by he grew increasingly troubled as he realized his work was part of Israel's nuclear bomb program. In 1985, before leaving Dimona, he took extensive photographs inside the factory in order to document the truth for his fellow citizens and the entire world. Traveling through Asia with the film in his backpack, Vanunu made his way to Sydney, Australia, where he found companionship in an Anglican church social justice community with whom he shared the story of his nuclear background. In Sydney he also converted to Christianity and was baptized in July, 1986. A British newspaper, the London Sunday Times, learned of his story and sent a reporter to Sydney to check it out. The newspaper then flew Vanunu to England, where his photos and facts were further checked by British scientists familiar with nuclear weapons. Vanunu's story, published October 5, 1986, gave the world its first authoritative confirmation that tiny Israel had become a major nuclear weapons power, with material for as many as 200 nuclear warheads of advanced design. Israeli agents got early wind of Vanunu's intentions. Even before publication of the story they had lured him from Britain, abducted him in Italy, and dumped his drugged body onto an Israeli cargo vessel bound for Israel. In the following months he was charged with espionage and treason and convicted at a closed-door trial. All legal appeals were exhausted, and he was consistently denied parole or probation. For the first 11 1/2 years of his imprisonment Vanunu was held in solitary confinement, denied human contact except with his guards, a lawyer, a priest, and the occasional visits of his siblings. This treatment was

305

condemned by Amnesty International as " cruel, inhuman, and degrading." On March 12, 1998, he was released into the prison population but was still subject to many restrictions - no contact with Palestinian prisoners, no phone use and his mail was censored. During the last 6 years he spent in prison, Vanunu was also able to have occasional visits with Nicholas and Mary Eoloff, the St. Paul, Minnesota couple who adopted him in the fall of 1997. Despite years of isolation in prison, Vanunu remains steadfast in his belief that what he did was necessary and right. He was released on April 21, 2004, but the Israeli government imposed severe restrictions on his movement and speech, including the condition that he is not allowed to leave the country. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel represented Vanunu in an appeal of the restrictions to the High Court. In July, the Court rejected the appeal, on the grounds that Vanunu "might be in possession of additional secrets he had not yet revealed". Vanunu continues to assert that he has no more secrets, and told everything he knew to the London Sunday Times when he blew the whistle in 1986. At a mandated six-month review in October, 2004, the restrictions were renewed. On November 11, 30 armed Israeli police stormed St. George's Cathedral and arrested Vanunu. (He had been given sanctuary there by the Episcopal Bishop of Jerusalem, and has been living there since his release from prison.) He was questioned about his interviews with foreign press, which he conducted in open defiance of the restrictions, believing the restrictions to be a violation of his freedom of speech. He was released late that night to a week of house arrest. Vanunu was also detained on Christmas Eve, December 24, as he attempted to enter the off-limits West Bank city of Bethlehem for worship at the Church of the Nativity. He was released several hours later to five days of house arrest. The next review of Mordechai Vanunu's restrictions will take place on April 21, 2005. There is continued pressure from campaigns, supporters and anti-nuclear and human rights activists around the world, urging Israel to lift the restrictions and let him go. An international delegation will go to Israel April 18-22.

Vanunu is very much looking forward to his complete freedom and the end of his long ordeal, and hopes to soon be able to leave Israel and begin a new life. But that has yet to be, as he is still being held against his will in Israel Time Line of Vanunus Illegal Incarceration by the Zionist Apartheid Government of Israel RECENT NEWS Jan 18 2012 - I moved back to East Jerusalem. Renting a small apartment, Tel Aviv is not for me, only Freedom Now. Back to the same life of East Jerusalem, Here I am waiting to my freedom Now!!!!!!.1986-2012. Nov 29 2011 - Now the judge decided they will hear the case when,?,the clerics will tell as very soon. I saw what they wrote, they wrote very short, repeating again and again that this law is new and my case is 20 years ago, so it can not be use for my case. I spoke with Feldman my lawyer, I told him it does not matter this Law, I am asking them to revoke my citizenship, with this law or without this Law, as I asked them in 1998. At that time they answer I need to have other different citizenship. But with this new law they can take any citizen his citizenship even if he don't have other citizenship. So it will take more months until the court will decide. Oct 7 2001 - Here is my message to israel arrogant state,people. Samuel Clemons- -"What you do not make free will never grow. The idea that you can make others grow and help their growth, that you can direct and guide them, always retaining for your self the Freedom of the Teacher, is NONSENSE, a Dangerous LIE which has retarded the growth of millions and millions of Human Beings in the World.

"United States President Barack Obama should demand my freedom. He wants a world without nuclear weapons", he said today (Monday) after his case was heard before the Supreme Court. Vanunu appealed through his lawyers, Avigdor Feldman and Michael Sfard, against a sentence of three months of community service imposed on him after he violated orders prohibiting him from speaking with foreigners. Feldman claimed the govt refuses to debate Vanunu service jobs in West Jerusalem, where he fears harassment and violence towards him, and can not perform community service in East Jerusalem because he said he was informed community service can be performed "only in Israel". He claimed the emergency order issued against Vanunu belongs to "the most

Norwegian lawyers petition for Vanunu: Kontaktadresse: Fredrik S. Heffermehl Niels Juels g. 28 A, 0272 Oslo fredpax@online.no, www.vanunu.org Oslo, 14. mai 2008 Regjeringen Statsminister Jens Stoltenberg 0032 Oslo Norway should grant Vanunu asylum and demand that Israel allows him to leave the country. This petition, signed by lawyers and law students, urges the Norwegian Government to grant Mordechai Vanunu asylum and influence Israeli authorities to lift the ban prohibiting him from leaving the country. In 1986 Vanunu was sentenced to prison for having told the British paper, The Sunday Times, that Israel possesses nuclear weapons. He was kept for 11 years in solitary confinement and served the full prison term of 18 years. After his release from jail in April 2004 Vanunu has been under strict official control, including a ban against travel, advance approval of his domicile on territory under Israeli control, prohibitions against talking with foreigners, and approaching foreign embassies and the Israeli border, etc. These restrictions constitute a very severe, indefinite, additional punishment. They violate the rights of Vanunu under the UN Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which Israel has ratified, including Article 19 on freedom of speech, Article 12 on freedom of movement and freedom to choose domicile and Article 7 prohibiting degrading treatment. We may have varying ideas on how the conflict between Israel, the Palestinians and the Arab world should be solved. We note, however, that Vanunu gave the world evidence of the existence of an Israeli nuclear arsenal. Israel possesses nuclear weapons in contravention of the purpose of the 1986 Non-Proliferation Treaty, which only Israel, along with India, Pakistan and North Korea, have refused to join. The use of nuclear weapons is, in view of inter alia the consequences for civilians, against international law, as a general principle also in self defense.

323

In some cases it is not only morally praiseworthy, but also justified under law, for a person to refuse to obey the laws of the land and orders of their superiors. In keeping with this and the ideas on individual responsibility expressed by the Nuremberg tribunal after World War II, Vanunu should be considered a whistleblower entitled to the protection of the international community. In 2005, the Norwegian competent authority in charge of asylum questions (UDI), correctly considered the treatment of Vanunu since his release in 2004 as a case of persecution under the Convention on Refugees and the Norwegian act on foreigners. It is not a requirement that an applicant for asylum is under Norwegian jurisdiction when the application is launched and the Government of Norway is undoubtedly entitled to grant Vanunu a permit to stay in Norway on humanitarian grounds and issue a Norwegian passport for foreigners to him, while he is still in Israel. By delivering 20 tons of heavy water to Israel in 1959, without proper control that the shipment was not used for production of nuclear weapons, Norway gave a decisive contribution to Israels development of nuclear weapons. This gives the Norwegian government a special reason to demonstrate that our opposition to nuclear arms and proliferation is real and credible, by ensuring that Vanunu is permitted to travel to Norway and offering him a decent life here. Specifically, we call on the Norwegian government to urgently implement the following three-point action plan within the framework of international and Norwegian law: 1. The Government must direct the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI), under the rules on transfer refugees, to grant Vanunu permission to work and stay in Norway, based on his need for protection (on humanitarian grounds), with the intention to offer Vanunu asylum upon his entry into Norway. 2. At the same time the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration should be directed to issue a Norwegian passport for foreigners, enabling Vanunu to travel to Norway without an Israeli passport. 3. As a final step, Norway should inform Israel that Vanunu has been granted a permit to work and stay in Norway, and via courier make sure that Vanunu receives the documents on the decisions together with the Norwegian passport for foreigners, and then request Israel to allow him to travel to Norway.

324

Implementation of this three-point plan will show that Norway is taking human rights violations seriously, even when they occur in countries with whom Norway has close relations. At the same time it may help solving a situation that today is causing serious harm to the reputation of Israel, both in Norway and elsewhere in the world. Sincerely, Fredrik S.

The Strange Case of Julian Assange

A Short & Historical Look at Wikileaks.org Through a Cautious Lense

Depending upon ones point of view, Julian Assange is either a internet folk hero, a criminal, a vehicle for Israeli or U.S. intelligence disinformation, or an intelligence operative. I personally suspect is may be a managed asset of the CIA, and whether he is actually on their payroll or not is irrelevant. He may have no idea he is being used in this manner. What better way to stir up the Middle East than to dump millions of so-called classified documents onto the publics lap that are full of information that will ultimately stir up the passions of dictators, war lords, and government sycophants in the hope it will massage an opening for a total policy solution for the region that is favorable to the State of Israel. How does one come into the motherload of all document dumps and read through, skim, glance, view, peruses, and ultimately claim to vet them with a handful of volunteers? Is this really possible? If the document dumps were intentional and an intelligence organization were behind them then logic tells us they would clearly think through every possible scenario related to this question, and therefore would need to come with an answer, or a cover. And if that answer was to set up an innocent U.S. Army private to be the fall guy to make the dump look plausible, then this thing turns ugly really fast. Is Private Manning really doing hard time in prison as a patsy, or is he living in a private cell with the promise of a full pension after adequate time has passed for the call to go out: Mission Accomplished. One must ask who benefitted from the document dumps to Wikileaks, especially the supposed U.S. Embassy Cables that caused extreme embarrassment to our top diplomats and third party negotiators. From what is available in the press at this time, both Israel and the United States surface to the top of the list. Hardly any of the information has any critical negative bearing on our ongoing diplomacy, or if it had, we would have heard about it already. And if the documents were intended to have Middle Eastern enemies turn on each other and do each other in without the U.S. or Israel having to pull the trigger, then all the better right? Lets take a look at the visible evidence. The first document up is a court order filed on January 4th, 2011 seeking information of Wikileaks data files.

When the U.S. Government goes on a witch hunt, it often oversteps all boundaries of U.S. Constitutionality, common ethics, restraint, international law, and diplomacy. This was certainly the case when the U.S. Government demanded that Twitter turn over all information on twitter accounts that were associated with Wikileaks. In an article written by Dominic Rushe that appeared in the UK Guardian on Friday, January 7th, 2011 entitled Icelandic MP fights US demand for her Twitter account details it was noted that the U.S. Dept. of Justices demands for Girgitta Jonsdottir to turn over her private correspondence with Wikileaks for whom she served as a volunteer is outlandish, and quite frankly I agree. There are certain diplomatic courtesies that are not breached in this manner, and the U.S. Justice Department looks rather boorish and unsophisticated in making such an arrogant demand of a foreign states official. Beyond the diplomatic problems with the demand is the fact that it is none of the U.S. Justice Departments business what is in private communications whether it be in the United States or elsewhere, especially without explicit U.S. Constitutional authority. I am quite sure the Justice Department most likely believes they have this authorization under the so-called Patriot Act, but herein lays the danger in the Patriot Act. This is a perfect case of abuse of power and the move towards fascism that is currently underfoot in the United States of America. Notice that according to the court document on the previous page, Dynadot is located in San Mateo, California, a relatively small California city of 100,000 that is a hotbed of internet and gaming activity. Capcom, the Japanese game maker of such blockbusters as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Lost Planet Ace Attorney, Mega Man, and Monster Hunter has its USA HQ there. I thought the names from Capcoms games fit right in with the Julian Assange bit...the resident evil government man from the lost planet was on a monster hunt looking for mega man Julian Assange, called in his ace attorney to sick their street fighter on himjust saying, what. I find it curious given the long list of internet companies on the San Mateo Wikipedia page that Dynadots name is not among them. Perhaps someone has been washing dishes in San Mateo. Is it possible someone does not wish to be associated with Wikileaks? Or is something else going on here? Could it be possible that Dynadot is in bed with the CIA? Daly City, California is situated 13.5 miles to the northeast of San Mateo. The CIA runs a Psychological Human Resources operation in Daly City. Dynadot would therefore make a convenient partner in a highly sophisticated disinformation intelligence operation. This observation however proves nothing, but it is worth noting.

We do not sell information to mailing lists, or send advertisements on behalf of other companies. One must assume that a court order fits the noted exception of absolutely necessary, and that Dynadot.com forked over what the government asked for. If so, it remains to be seen what the federal witch hunters intend to do with this information. If Assange is part of an intelligence operationand he and Private Manning are the fall guys then the operators will continue the charade and allow the end game to play out no matter what happens or who goes to jail. If Assange is an operative, which I doubt, he will either eventually fade in to the sunset as a free man, or mysteriously disappear or suffer some unknown malady sometime in the near or distant future. Let it also be noted that some of the elite citizens of this world have been known to hold grudges. However, Assange appears to be in good hands in Europe, and as some critics see it, maybe too good. It has been observed that he is staying with a few well connected media titans and has recently started his own talk show with RT online where he will produce 12 shows.
Last week, Assange had kicked off his 12 episodes of the talk show with an interview with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. It was his first Englishlanguage TV interview since 2006 and quickly became a top 10 Twitter trend when it first aired on April 17.

Obviously his choice of guests will make the Israelphiles at the Whitehouse angry, but what would one expect from the man that is trying to level the playing field and give voice to all sides of the Middle East conflict. I fully expect the government will continue its public criticism and legal assault against Assange, as with any sophisticated intelligence operation, information is highly compartmentalized. At this point in the

342

game, the players, to include government lawyers and court employees most likely have no knowledge of a wider plot. The government employees are simply following orders. The puppet masters simply sit in the background and monitor the events as they unfold, making adjustments along the way as necessary. Being this case is now outside of the top-secret intelligence part of operation, (unless of course Assange knows about it), the persecution of Assange will continue. However, I suspect the government prosecutors may be stuck on the U.S. Constitution and legal precedents established during the Deep Throat revelations about the Nixon Administration and Watergate regarding sources and leaked information, and as related to the prior Pentagon Paper leak, a massive volume of information that was based on classified U.S. Government documents that had been prepared for Defence Secretary McNamara by the RAND Corporation think tank and subsequently revealed to the New York Times by Daniel Ellsberg, a RAND Corporation employee. The Pentagon Papers were finally declassified by the CIA in 2011. The government sued the New York Times and won their case in an appellate court, however, that decision was overturned by a 6-3 decision of the Supreme Court in New York Times Co. v. United States. This case will most likely be retested if the government does not drop its witch hunt against Julian Assange and Wikileaks. According to an article that appeared on the Wall Street Journals Law Blog in an article entitled Pentagon Papers II? On WikiLeaks and the First Amendment which was published on July 26th, 2010
The question, as posed by Fred Schauer, a law professor at the University of Virginia, goes like this: What can be done and to whom when information that was originally obtained illegally is then published? The most obvious Supreme Court case to spring to mind is the New York Times v. U.S., the famous Pentagon Papers case from 1971. In the case, the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment barred the Nixon administration from keeping the New York Times and Washington Post from publishing classified information related to the Vietnam War. Schauer said the opinion isnt necessarily conclusive, partly because it was issued as a brief per curiam decision, and didnt adopt a categorical rule on when the government might prevent publication of such information. Still, Schauer said that the case, along with two others, Landmark Communications v. Virginia and Bartnicki v. Vopper, all go in the direction of dictating that the person at WikiLeaks who got the information would likely elude criminal prosecution or liability unless that person was, said Schauer, involved in getting the material in the first place.

343

But someone who actually leaked the classified information, like Daniel Ellsberg did with the Pentagon Papers, might not evade the long arm of the law, Schauer said.

Excerpts from the Pentagon Papers actual documents will appear in Chapter 2 History of U.S. False Flag Operations: Gulf of Tonkin Case Study. I assert that what the U.S. State Departments Middle Eastern and Near Eastern Departments need more of today are Jewish men of honor such as Daniel Ellsberg that are not blinded by Zionist propaganda and un-American Israel-as-homeland tendencies. Ellsberg is one of a handful of anti-Zionist American Jews that has stood up for Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli scientist that blew the whistle on Israels top-secret nuclear weapons program and was subsequently imprisoned for over 18 years. The following statement was made by Dr. Daniel Ellsberg in 2005 when George W. Bush, who was being egged on by the likes Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and Don Rumsfeld, was threatening Iran with a nuclear solution and talking bigger than his britches and his own personal history back in the the State of Texas would allow. Daniel Ellesberg, 2005
The fact that Israel has a large and growing nuclear arsenal larger than Britain's has been recognized by the rest of the world ever since Mordechai Vanunu revealed it conclusively 19 years ago. For demolishing his country's policy of concealment, denial, and "ambiguity" of its status as a nuclear weapons state, Vanunu served 18 years in prison, including an unprecedented period of 11 and a half years of solitary confinement in a six-bynine-foot cell. Meanwhile, not one of the harms that some feared might result from his revelations has materialized in the slightest degree. The notion that any further details he could disclose, 19 years later, could harm Israel's national security is absurd. Why then, after he has served his full sentence, is the State of Israel invoking British Mandate Emergency Regulations of 1945, pre-dating its own independence, to threaten him with prison for exercising his fundamental human rights to speak to foreigners and foreign journalists? Why do its leaders still insist on suppressing any open discussion in Israel itself of its real military posture and its implications for their security? Here's one possible answer. This very month, both Israel and the U.S. are making open threats of armed attacks as early as this summer on Iran's nuclear weapons potential. For Israel to confirm openly Vanunu's revelations at this particular time dramatically abandoning forty years of obfuscation would

344

attract unfavorable attention to the fact that such threats or attacks against Iran are aimed not at achieving a nuclear-weapons-free zone in the Middle East but at prolonging, indefinitely, Israel's monopoly of nuclear weapons in the region. That is an unstated aim for both the U.S. and Israel, but a less than compelling justification for war. This may be a reason but not a legitimate one for returning Mordechai Vanunu to silence in solitary. What the world needs of this prophet of the nuclear era is not his silence but his freedom to speak and travel, to inspire others to follow his example of truth-telling in their own countries, above all here in the United States.

Assange has had no problem attracting top legal talent to defend his upcoming case. Alan Dershowitz joined the team board back in November of 2011. According to an article that appeared on Nov. 2nd, 2011, Israel based Haaretz entitled Alan Dershowitz to join WikiLeaks founder Assange's legal team by Natasha Mozgovaya:
The United States is encouraging, of course, the new media in Iran, in Egypt, and other parts of the world and at the same time it's obviously seeking to chill the use of those media by seeking the records of people who follow on Twitter or tweets or use WikiLeaks, and so we think double standards are being applied in the form of rights for me but not for thee, Dershowitz told CNNs Eliot Spitzer.

When one types in the word Wikileaks into Dynadot.coms blog at [http://www.dynadot.blogspot.com] search engine, nothing comes up, no mention of Dynadots previous involvement with the court case in San Mateo or the fact that they are the ICANN registrar of record for Wikileaks.org. Assange has registered Wikileaks.com in France with Ghandi SAS. This appears to be a recent move. Perhaps he will soon move the .org domain also.

Assange has also moved his hosting service several times seeking a free state from which to operate. But by golly, they are few and far between which sadly enough says something about the good ole USA the land of the free and the home of the brave. What is says is that we are longer the country of choice for those seeking protection from tyrants against intrusion into their privacy and civil liberties. Assanges search for Internet Freedom is an indictment of the Rise in Fascism here in the United States. God fearing Americans everywhere had better wake up and smell the coffee or one day..I will allow the reader to finish this statement. For a an informative and interesting take on the changes currently underfoot in America, I refer the reader to an article written by Lem Londos Railsback, Ph.D., entitled The Rise of American Fascism in the 20th and 21th Centuries: Erosion in the Higher Learning.
[https://www.thelastamericannewspaper.com/2012/04/07/the-rise-of-american-fascismin-the-20th-and-21th-centuries-erosion-in-the-higher-learning/].

Dr. Railsback is a retired educator with more than 50 years of public service as both a teacher in public education and for Texas A&M International University as a full professor of Education. He is also retired from the U.S. Navy, having served 35 years in both the regular navy and the reserves. At 74 years of age he is an intrepid observer of what he considers the sad failure in our Democracy to live up to its potential. On a personal note, he is my friend. It was reported that as of December 10th, 2010, Assange is using servers that are sheltered in a nuclear-proof bunker in Sweden belonging to Bahnhof, a company founded by Jon Karlung. It also reported that he has other servers feeding the internet at various hidden locations around the globe that cryptographically protected from detection.

346

Prior to Wikileaks most recent legal problems, a lawsuit was filed against Assange and Wikileaks back in 2008 by Bank Julius Baer, a private Swiss banking concern that apparently had millions of dollars worth of client assets sitting offshore in secret numbered bank accounts in the Cayman Islands. Julian Assange learned quickly learned firsthand what happens when one attempt to expose the money habits of the rich and famous. Assange asserted the bank was covering up tax evasion and money laundering and with thousands of account files forwarded from a Bank Julius Baer bank employee, set out to expose the elites. During the trial, it was reported that the PRQ hosting facility in Denmark housed Wikileaks DNS servers that contained some of the information the banking elites were attempting to keep secret were destroyed.

The Swedish Wire.com is the hippest website on the internet for keeping track of all things Swedish and keeping tabs on Julian Assanges latest moves. The last bit of news about Wikileaks surfaced back on Friday, December 11th of 2011 when Assange announced that he was releasing thousands of documents revealing a massive worldwide surveillance system that is facilitated by software firms that are willing to sell high tech email and website monitoring software to anyone with the greenbacks that can afford the installation, to include some of the cruelest dictators that have ever graced the planet earth:
The Wikileaks files reveal the activities of about 160 companies in 25 countries which develop technologies to allow the tracking and monitoring of individuals by their mobile phones, email and Internet browsing histories. "Today we release over 287 files documenting the reality of the international mass surveillance industry -- an industry which now sells equipment to dictators and democracies alike in order to intercept entire populations," Assange told reporters in London. He said that in the last 10 years it had grown from a covert industry which primarily supplied government intelligence agencies such as the NSA in the United States and Britain's GCHQ, to a huge transnational business.

In the same article, it is noted that Assange is currently working on building a new and safer website from which whistleblowers may post their documents. [http://www.swedishwire.com/politics/12123-new-wikileaks-spyfiles-show-global-surveillance-industry-]

There is a batch of files floating around cyberspace that allegedly constitute early emails between Julian Assange and potential Wikileaks cadre members. I had thought to include those file in this book, however

347

they run well over a hundred pages, so I will share URL instead: [http://cryptome.org/wikileaks/wikileaks-leak.htm] Many of the emails within these files are from John Young who runs Cryptome.org. Young was listed as the registrant for Wikileaks on Dynadot.com for a short time back in 2007. Young stated in a 2010 interview with Alex Jones on PrisonPlanet.com that he worked for Wikileaks for one month. After learning that Assange had ambitions to raise $5 million dollars for Wikileaks in a short period of time, Young become suspicious and questioned both his motivations and legitimacy. It is apparent that Young he did not trust Assange after learning of his fund-raising ambitions and hypothesized that he might be a CIA plant. At the time, little information was known about Assange and very few documents had been seen or released by the public. However, there are always two sides to every story. In one of the final emails between Assange and Young, Assange pleads with Young not to expose the emails containing the names of those involved. Young thought otherwise and dumped the whole batch which included phone numbers and other identifying information of some of Wikileaks contributors. This may have been an irresponsible act, maybe not. It depends on the final analysis of whether one believes Assange is an intelligence asset or if he is for real. A legitimate question one would have to ask is did Young feel like he was about to be upstaged with a bit of competition considering he had been running his site since 1996 and Assange was a latecomer to the scene. However, Youngs site is much different in nature than Wikileaks. Much of the information on Cryptome.org is public information, along with the unique and hard to come by stuff. Young has basically culled from excellent resources what he considers useful to the inquisitive mind whether it be a document sent in by a whistleblower or discovered sitting in plain sight on a government website. Regardless of ones opinion on the outcome of the dispute, both John Young and Julian Assange run excellent websites for anyone seeking information and useful knowledge on a variety of topics. However, one must establish a considerable reputation on the internet to accomplish what John Young has done with the consistency over time with which he has done it. That is no easy feat, for when one is dealing with this type of information it can be psychologically challenging. This I admire. The jury is still out on Assangeliterally.
Cryptome welcomes documents for publication that are prohibited by governments worldwide, in particular material on freedom of expression, privacy, cryptology, dual-use technologies, national security, intelligence, and secret governance -- open, secret and classified documents -- but not limited to those.

Hunting Julian Assange with Carp Bait & a Kangaroo Court Dr. Alex Karp likes to think of himself as a really smart guy. OK, so he is a really smart guy. He is also the CEO and co-founder of Palantir Technologies, a software company that makes spy software for government agencies that wish to spy on the American public and for corporations that wish to spy on their own employees. If you happen to work for one of the following corporations, let this serve as your fair warning. How do you know if you company is using Palantir? Just ask and watch the surprise on the tech guys face. If they are using it, he will get shaken up. If not, he will most likely ask you to repeat the name. Dr. Karp recently appeared on the Charlie Rose show where he bragged about his penchant for making money and the fact that his company has its engineers doing the selling of his intrusive spying software which he claims is being used by various U.S. intelligence agencies for data mining. He claims that engineers are more honest and are not motivated by money. Really? I wonder how his lowly paid engineers feel about making a mere $127k, when the company is boasting about revenues of $80+ million dollars per year. In an article entitled Palantir, the War on Terror's Secret Weapon by Ashlee Vance and Brad Stone which was published by Bloomberg Businessweek on November 22, 2011, it was noted that:
To get a job at the company, an applicant must pass a gauntlet of brain teasers. An example: You have 25 horses and can race them in heats of 5. You know the order the horses finished in, but not their times. How many heats are necessary to find the fastest? First and second? First, second, and third? (Answers: six, seven, and seven.) If candidates are able to prove themselves as what Karp calls a software artist, theyre hired. The company gives new arrivals some reading material, including a guide to improvisational acting, a lecture by the entrepreneur Steve Blank on Silicon Valleys secret history with the military, and the book The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. Theyre also rewarded with a low wage by Silicon Valley standards: Palantir caps salaries at $127,000.
[http://www.businessweek.com/printer/magazine/palantir-the-vanguard-ofcyberterror-security-11222011.html]

One must ask why a CEO demands his employees to read on particular authors take on 9.11. The book was written by a noted New York Times reporter Lawrence Wright for which he received a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-fiction in 2007. Wright is a well-respected writer and the book obviously received glowing reviews. But that does not answer the question as to why Karp, who claims to not be interested in

353

the surveillance of civilians would encourage the reading of this book. Even the U.S. military does not go to such lengths to indoctrinate its soldiers, or does it? Well examine this question later in this book. Many of Karps employees and prospective employees whom have interviewed with his company to become members of his coding cadre have expressed their perceptions of the company on the website glassdoor.com where folks go to vent their frustrations about salary and other employee related issues. Karp also uses the firm TechExpo as a recruiting tool for showcasing his company to potential employees. If you happen to run a website that exposes leaks or monitors big brother companies such as Palantir and would like to post Palantirs employees comments on your site to learn more about this company, here is the code:
[<div class="gdWidget"><a href="http://www.glassdoor.com/api/api.htm?version=1&action=employer-combo&t.s=wm&t.a=c&format=300x400&employerId=236375&activeTab=I" target="_gd">Palantir Technologies Salaries</a> | More details for <a href="http://www.glassdoor.com/api/api.htm?version=1&action=employer-jobs&t.s=wm&t.a=c&employerId=236375" target="_gd">Palantir Technologies Jobs</a> | <a href="http://www.glassdoor.com/api/api.htm?version=1&action=employer-review&t.s=wm&t.a=c&employerId=236375" target="_gd">Palantir Technologies Reviews</a> | <a href="http://www.glassdoor.com/api/api.htm?version=1&action=employerinterview&t.s=w-m&t.a=c&employerId=236375" target="_gd">Palantir Technologies Interview Questions & Reviews</a></div><script src="http://www.glassdoor.com/static/js/api/widget/v1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>]

Of course, as with most biased Charlie Rose interviews, a good deal of information is left out. Karp states he started the firm with Peter Thiel. No mention was made of the other founders, Peter Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Nathan Gettings. But this is the way Charlie Rose rolls so to speak, or likes to do things when he wants to build up a persona of someone that has the right stuff. Charlie Rose did however briefly note that Karp got involved due to his perception of anti-semitism, a subject matter that neither he nor Rose elaborated on. I now suspect Karp may be deploying his software with Jewish organizations such as Abe Foxmans JDL in order to assist them in constructing illegal dossiers on American citizens that they believe disagree with their point of view on Israels Apartheid policies. I hope this is not true, but if it is, Karp will have plenty of questions to answer in a court of law some day. The Charlie Rose interview also uncovers three things about Karp when put in the context of his companys history; Karp is arrogant, a hypocrite, and cannot be trusted to keep his mouth shut about his work with U.S. government intelligence agencies. Old school contractors

would never go on national TV bragging about the work they have done in the past. I am flabbergasted that our government would continue doing business with someone that has discussed past intelligence operations on the Charlie Rose show. And for being a firm that claims to be heavily involved in surveillance for intelligence agencies, Karp has left his employees vulnerable to retaliatory attacks by foreign agencies. In doing the research for this book, I was able to discover the names of hundreds of Palantirs employees through such social network sites as Linkedin.com. Many of his employees tend to brag about working for Palantir. This is unwise on his part for allowing this to happen. Alex Karps Palantir Technologies Company, along with another firm run by Aaron Barr named HBGary Federal, and a third firm called Benrico Technologies, recently produced a Power Point Presentation that describes their methodology, and how their technology could be used to violate the Civil Rights of Julian Assange and his associates at Wiki-leaks. Here is Palantirs assessment of Wikileaks and what they believe is possible when conducting a Wikileaks witch-hunt: [Beginning of Presentation] WikiLeaks was launched in 2006 by self-described Chinese dissidents and interested parties from five Continents - Within a year of its launch, WikiLeaks claimed to possess over 1.2 million documents from thirteen countries As of January 2010, the WikiLeaks team consisted of five full-time employees and about 800 volunteers - The employees and volunteers are spread across the world, with their identities largely unknown. Palantir then lists the following members as the founders of Wikileaks. On their Power Point Presentation they had either a photo or an avatar figure placed on a Venn diagram to show the relationship I have listed below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Glenn Greenwald Journalist Daniel Matthews Journalist David House Volunteer Jacob Applebaum IT Specialist w/notes: Glenn was critical in the Amazon OVH transition It is this level of support that needs to be disrupted These are established professionals that have a liberal bent, but ultimately will choose professional preservation over cause, such is the mentality of most business professionals. Without the support of people like Glenn, Wikileaks would fold.

Part of the strategy involves incorporating and registering Wikileaks in different countries under different auspices that provide maximum protection under the laws of these countries: a library in Australia, a foundation in France, a newspaper in Sweden, and two no-name tax exempt 501c3 non-profits in the United States are some examples. Money of the releases of documents from a while were based in Iceland were laws are extremely protective of speech. All of those moves are simply to protect the organization. Strengths Their strength is their global following and volunteer staff. This allows them to have a very loose organization. Little if any direction or coordination is actually passed it just inferred as part of the cause. Julien pronounces and the minions follow. Larger infrastructure is fairly pointless to attack because they have so many other points and organizations that are willing to distribute the information and help them get new hosting services.

Weaknesses Financial: They are under increasing financial pressure because authorities are blocking their funding sources. Security: Need to get to the Swedish document submission server. Need to create doubt about their security and increase awareness that interaction with Wikilieaks will expose you.

356

Mission: There is a fracture among the followers because of a belief that Julian is going astray from the cause and has selected his own mission of attacking the US. Despite the publicity, Wikileaks is NOT in a healthy position right now. Their weakness are causing great stress in the organization which can be capitalized on.

Speed Is Crucial! [Editorial Comment: this is Karps idea of a highpressure sales pitch] There is not time to develop an infrastructure to support this investigation The threat demands a comprehensive analysis capability now Combating this threat requires advanced subject matter expertise in cybersecurity, insider threats, counter cyber-fraud, targeting analysis social media exploitation Palantir Technologies, HBGary Federal, and Berico Technologies represent deep domain knowledge in each of these areas.

[END of PRESENTATION]

After being called out on Wikileaks and other websites after Leading Civil Rights Activist hacker group Anonymous hacked into one of the spy companies databases and forwarded to Wikileaks the Palantir PowerPoint presentation, Karp publicly apologized for this unforgivable assault on the Wikileaks teams Civil Rights. In a February 11th, 2011 article written by Andy Greenberg of Forbes.com entitled Palantir Apologizes For WikiLeaks Attack Proposal, Cuts Ties With HBGary, Further research on the Wikileaks team listed in Palatirs presentation reveals the following:
Now, just a few days later, one of those firms, Palo Alto-based Palantir, has publicly cut ties with HBGary and apologized for its role in the WikiLeaks response plan, essentially verifying the reality of that plan and isolating HBGary further. In a statement to the press, Palantir chief executive Alex C(K)arp writes, I have directed the company to sever any and all contacts with HBGary. Karp adds that Palantir Technologies does not build software that is designed to allow private sector entities to obtain non-public information, engage in socalled cyber attacks or take other offensive measures. I have made clear in no uncertain terms that Palantir Technologies will not be involved in such activities.

Forbes Blogger, Oliver Chiang, in an article in which he discussed an interview he had conducted with Palantir start-up partner and exPayPal executive Peter Thiel, had this to say about the incident:

358

Lets start with the controversy. Up until a few weeks ago, only Lord of the Rings nerds knew what a palantir was (a seeing stone the company is named after). But recently, Palantir has found itself in headlines for putting together a proposal along with HBGary and Berico Technologies, to launch cyber-attacks and other dirty tricks against Wikileaks and its supporters, on behalf of Bank of America, and against website ThinkProgress on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Pro-Wikileaks hacker collective Anonymous found the proposal and emails by hacking into the account of HBGarys chief executive.

Chang also point out that Thiels private equity fund The Founders Fund bankrolled much of the startups initial costs. In his interview with Charlie Rose, Karp makes out like he and Thiel were on equal footing. Thiel is also a huge shareholder in Facebook. Citizens of America need to pay attention to this because what we have here is one group of private citizens to include Karp and other software developers that believe they can get away with privacy intrusion simply because they happen to sell some software to the Homeland Security Agency or other government intelligence entity. This is both illegal and unethical behavior. And if major corporations such as Bank of America and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are launching cyber-attacks against private citizens as retaliatory measures, then this also needs to be investigated. I am however pleased to see Karps apology, but it in no way excuses the behavior. On a more pleasant note, I will give Karp kudos for developing software that takes a unique analytical look at various stock market and industry cycles. This type of information is useful and is appreciated. Big Brother clandestine machinations are not. In his interview with Charlie Rose, Karp stated that firms such as his are basically creating new industries and demand for innovative products that have never existed previously. He finds some social good to his software as he claims it has been used by U.S. Army Intelligence to target Afghanistan terrorists in Americas ongoing war on terror. Basically, Karps software in its simplest form is a computer generated set of Venn diagrams that can be overlaid on maps or simply used to show connections between people, groups, and or where they have been online in cyberspace. The benefits of the software to Palantirs clients were described by reporters Vance and Stone in the Bloomberg Businessweek piece as:

359

An organization like the CIA or FBI can have thousands of different databases, each with its own quirks: financial records, DNA samples, sound samples, video clips, maps, floor plans, human intelligence reports from all over the world. Gluing all that into a coherent whole can take years. Even if that system comes together, it will struggle to handle different types of datasales records on a spreadsheet, say, plus video surveillance images. What Palantir (pronounced Pal-an-TEER) does, says Avivah Litan, an analyst at Gartner (IT), is make it really easy to mine these big data sets. The companys software pulls off one of the great computer science feats of the era: It combs through all available databases, identifying related pieces of information, and puts everything together in one place.

Critics claim that what Palantir brings to the table is really nothing new; it has already been done before by major U.S. government contactors such as General Dynamics, ITT Corporation, SAIC, and Northrop Grumman which is the largest supplier of IT services to the federal government. Northrop Grumman which has made dozens of acquisitions over the years, and in 1999 formed a partnership with SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation) named AMSEC LLC to service the Navy shipbuilding industry. SAIC is also a key supplier of IT services and has been working with U.S. intelligence agencies since its founding in 1969. Much of the hoopla over Palantir is pure biased media hype coming out of silicon valley and up in New York City where any upstanding Jewish boy that makes good is put high upon a pedestal by the likes of Charlie Rose and promoted as being the be all to end all in his field. And apparently, Palantirs star program may not run as well as advertised as there is a lengthy trouble-shooting page on Palantirs website for clients to refer to in case the program jams up on its customers.

In an article written by Shane Harris that was published on the Washingtonian.com on January 31st, 2012 entitled Killer App, a further description of capabilities Palantirs software is given. In the article Harris relates how Dr. Karp and Palantir was called upon to help hunt down the Mexican Cartel killers of U.S. Customs agent Jaime Zapata after he was ambushed on a Northern Mexico highway:
To conduct what became known as Operation Fallen Hero, investigators turned to a little-known Silicon Valley software company called Palantir Technologies. Palantirs expertise is in finding connections among people, places, and events in large repositories of electronic data. Federal agents had amassed a trove of reporting on the drug cartels, their members, their funding

360

mechanisms and smuggling routes. They had dossiers, reports from informants, surveillance images, intercepted electronic communications, footage from drone aircraft. But investigators lacked a way to assemble and share all that intelligence with one another and to quickly find leads buried in mountains of information. Investigators with Zapatas agency bought Palantirs software, plugged it into their databases, and used it to track down members of the cartel. The results were astonishing. Palantir helped identify connections among key individuals and organizations. Officials later reported that this kind of painstaking detective workreading reports, piecing together clues, drawing links among peoplewould have taken months without technological assistance. With the help of Palantir, large amounts of data from disparate sources were analyzed within days.

The article goes on to state that the U.S. government has purchased licenses for Palantir software for 1150 investigators across the country. In my view this is exactly the type of big brother technology that can be easily abused. The ACLU has also taken note of Palantir. On their blog, Blog of Rights, an article entitled Beware of data miner offering protection that was published on December 1, 2011, Jay Stanley reflects on a recent Businessweek story that was written about data mining companies to include Palantir: Speaking of fiction, Palantir is named after a device in Lord of the Rings
that allows characters to omnisciently see anything, anywhere. Ironically, in the novels, those who peer into a Palantir are often deceived by what they see. But Businessweek quotes the companys CEO as saying they believe their mission is to protect the Shire. When we at the ACLU hear we need lots of amazing new powers in order to protect you, our response is, watch out. Unfortunately, we know that since 9/11, our security agencies have been irresistibly drawn towards mass surveillance as a principal strategy in the socalled war on terror. Instead of working outward from known leads and actual evidence based on individualized suspicion, they have turned towards the misguided strategy of sifting through millions of innocent peoples communications and activities boiling the ocean in the hopes of finding what is, essentially, a freak occurrence: somebody plotting an attack. (Unsurprisingly, the Government Accountability Office has found that DHS has not properly evaluated the effectiveness of its data-mining systems.) Businessweek also passes along government anecdotes about how this technology helped with various law enforcement successes. The government usually issues such stories to support privacy-invading technologies, but as always we have no way to verify them or what helped really means, and whether it boils down to, the success would have happened even without the privacy-invading tool, but the tool did play some minor part.

361

[http://www.aclu.org/blog/technology-and-liberty/beware-data-miners-offeringprotection]

In a major paper written by the National Research Council entitled Protecting Individual Privacy in the Struggle Against Terrorists; A Framework for Program Assessment, two fundamental recommendations are mad regarding technology and its impact on privacy rights of the individual:
Recommendation 1. U.S. government agencies should be required to follow a systematic process (such as the one described in the framework proposed in Chapter 2) to evaluate the effectiveness, lawfulness, and consistency with U.S. values of every information-based program, whether classified or unclassified, for detecting and countering terrorists before it can be deployed, and periodically thereafter. Recommendation 2. The U.S. government should periodically review the nations laws, policies, and procedures that protect individuals private information for relevance and effectiveness in light of changing technologies and circumstances. In particular, Congress should reexamine existing law to consider how privacy should be protected in the context of information-based programs (e.g., data mining) for counterterrorism.

While these two recommendations may seem well-meaning and innocuous, I would challenge that the research of groups such as the ones making the recommendations must be kept under surveillance to make sure they are not concocting a bunch of horse-hockey by which to further suppress individual liberty and freedom. The most disturbing piece of information in this 352 page report is the following paragraph:
Public opinion polls also indicate that the public tends to defend civil liberties more vigorously in the abstract than in specific situations. At the same time, people seem to be less concerned about privacy in general (i.e., for others) but rather with protecting the privacy of information about themselves. In addition, most people are more tolerant of surveillance when it is aimed at specific racial or ethnic groups, when it concerns activities they do not engage in, or when they are not focusing on its potential personal impact. Thus the perception of threat might explain why passenger screening and searches both immediately after September11, 2001, and continuing through 2006 consistently receive high levels of support while, at the same time, the possibility of personal impact reduces public support for government collection of personal information about travelers. The public is also ambivalent regarding biometric identification technologies and public health uses, such as prevention of bioterrorism and the sharing of medical information. For these, support increases with assurances of anonymity and personal benefits or when they demonstrate a high degree of reliability and are used with consent.

One of Karps partners in the infamous Power Point Presentation was Aaron Barr, the founder of HBGary. According to an article entitled Pervert or Vigilante, published on March 24th, 2011 on Crowdleaks.com, (a competitor of Wikileaks), Mr. Barr allegedly admitted in a couple of the 71,000 some emails that were hacked from his server by Anonymous that he surfs anonymously under the name Naughty Vicky in order to elicit photos of teenage girls from chat rooms after convincing them to turn off their anti-virus software so he can plant a remote access Trojan(RAT) or a keylogger in order to raid their stored photos. This does not seem like appropriate behavior for an executive of a company that reportedly sells software to U.S. intelligence agencies.
[http://crowdleaks.org/aaron-barr-pervert-or-vigilante/]

Anonymous didnt stop there. Members showed up to protest HBGarry at a major San Francisco RSA Security conference and then followed up with it most dramatic hack yet, virtually wiping out HBGarys backup data. Barr pulled a Hollywood stunt and claimed he was being stalked and pulled the plug on his companys participation in the conference. According an article written by Nate Anderson entitled Anonymous vs. HBGary: The Aftermath:
The fallout from the whole debacle endures. In the wake of the attack, HBGary's Penny Leavy and Greg Hoglund (they are married) entered the Anonymous IRC channel #ophbgary to plead in vain for Greg's e-mails to stay private. (Several less relevant remarks have been removed from the transcript for easier reading.) <+greg> so you got my email spool too then <&Sabu> yes greg. <@`k> greg we got everything <+Agamemnon> Greg, I'm curious to know if you understand what we are about? Do you understand why we do what we do? <+greg> you realize that releasing my email spool will cause millions in damages to HBGary? <@`k> yes <+c0s> greg: another reason its not out yet. <+Agamemnon> yes we do greg <@`k> greg is will be end of you :) and your company

Asked if HBGary has in fact seen a financial impact from the Anonymous attack, Butterworth would only say, "Time will tell." He did admit that the hack had an impact on the company"the tainting of a brand name, a company that has a very good product"and that "we've received indications that folks are having second thoughts" about working with the firm.

For more information on how HBGarry developed computer viruses to be used by anyone with a big enough bank account to pay his fee, (supposedly government agencies), there is a lengthy article written by
Nate Anderson for the Law & Disorder page of website ARS Technica entitled Black ops: How HBGarry wrote backdoors for the government. In the summation of this article, Anderson concludes: The actions of HBGary Federal's Aaron Barr also serve as a good reminder that, when they're searching for work, private security companies are more than happy to switch from military to corporate clientsand they bring some of the same tools to bear. When asked to investigate pro-union websites and WikiLeaks, Barr turned immediately to his social media toolkit and was ready to deploy personas, Facebook scraping, link analysis, and fake websites; he also suggested computer attacks on WikiLeaks infrastructure and pressure be brought upon journalists like Glenn Greenwald. His compatriots at Palantir and Berico showed, in their many e-mails, few if any qualms about turning their national security techniques upon private dissenting voices. Barr's ideas showed up in Palantir-branded PowerPoints and Berico-branded "scope of work" documents. "Reconnaissance cells" were proposed, network attacks were acceptable, "target dossiers" on "adversaries" would be compiled, and "complex information campaigns" involving fake personas were on the table. Critics like Glenn Greenwald contend that this nexus of private and public security power is a dangerous mix. "The real issue highlighted by this episode is just how lawless and unrestrained is the unified axis of government and corporate power," he wrote last week. Especially (though by no means only) in the worlds of the Surveillance and National Security State, the powers of the state have become largely privatized. There is very little separation between government power and corporate power. Those who wield the latter intrinsically wield the former. The revolving door between the highest levels of government and corporate offices rotates so fast and continuously that it has basically flown off its track and no longer provides even the minimal barrier it

364

once did. It's not merely that corporate power is unrestrained; it's worse than that: corporations actively exploit the power of the state to further entrench and enhance their power.

This tit for tat war of hacker activists against the denizens of the big brother state eventually caused a Congressional investigation to be launched by Congressman Hank Johnson, a Democrat from Georgias 4th District and 19 other congressmen into the activities and contracts of Palantir, HBGary, and Berico Technologies:
The hacked HBGary Federal emails that were posted online showed the three firms had proposed a plan to the Chamber of Commerces legal representative Hunton & Williams to infiltrate and discredit the Chambers opponents with fake documents, personas, and potentially even malicious software. There were also proposals to track and intimidate supporters of WikiLeaks.

In a Washington Post Article on the same subject penned by Dan Eggen that was published on February 28th, 2011 entitled Democrats call for an investigation of law firm, 3 tech companies, it was noted that:
A group of House Democrats is calling on Republican leaders to investigate a prominent Washington law firm and three federal technology contractors, who have been shown in hacked e-mails discussing a "disinformation campaign" against foes of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The lawmakers say it is "deeply troubling" that "tactics developed for use against terrorists may have been unleashed against American citizens."

By the time these allegations against Palantir were disclosed, Palantir was already embroiled in a legal dispute in which competitor I2 filed a lawsuit on August 9th, 2010 accusing Palantir of stealing trade secrets, engaging in fraud, racketeering and criminal copyright infringement. [http://www.law360.com/ip/articles/186211] Palantir attempted to have the case dismissed to no avail. The title of the case is i2, Inc. et al v. Palantir Technologies, Inc. et al and was filed in Eastern Virginia under case # 1:10-cv-00885. District Judge Liam O'Grady presided over the case and then it was referred to Magistrate Judge John F. Anderson. According to an article that appeared on February 16th, 2011 in online

365

VentureBeat.com/Deals entitled Palantir's third black eye: i2 lawsuit settled written by Owen Thomas:
According to i2, Palantir employee Shyam Sankar obtained i2 software representing himself as a principal of SRS Enterprises, a company registered under the names of his parents in Florida. Sankar then allegedly proceeded to analyze i2s software and use the results to develop tools to import data from i2s software for use in Palantirs analytical tools.
[http://venturebeat.com/2011/02/16/palantirs-third-black-eye-i2-lawsuit-settled/]

Owen noted that the settlement was private with both sides ceding certain points. The most salient point of Thomas article is the question he raises about whether or not U.S. intelligence agencies should trust a company that is constantly embroiled in controversy. It also appears that the way to diffuse a big brouhaha like the Wikileaks spying PowerPoint deal is for everyone to duck and cover. For not only did Palantir disassociate itself from HGBarry, but so did the third software company involved, Berico Technologies. Berico was founded by Afghanistan war veterans according to information in Wikipedia. From their website we learn the following:
Berico Technologies was founded in 2006 by a group of analysts and engineers who identified two significant opportunities to address how current solutions are approached: first, while many solutions focused on handling the volume of "big data," few providers truly focused on tackling its complexity; and second, the end user's real world needs were often neglected or misinterpreted by software developers.

Of the three firms, Berico is the only one with a code of business conduct listed on its website which states:
Berico prides itself on being a results-driven organization with unparalleled integrity. This Code of Business Conduct is supplemented by the Berico Technologies Standards of Business Conduct When Dealing with the United States Federal Government, with which our employees are expected to be familiar. All Berico team members are trained to report any suspected ethical misconduct to or to seek ethical guidance from their supervisor, Bericos corporate compliance officer, or to our Hotline. There is no retaliation or consequence for such reporting or inquiries. The company follows up and responds to all reports.

Bericos website makes no mention as to whether this policy was in place prior to the assault against Wikileaks. In a Washington Post investigative article entitled Top Secret America we learn that Berico has 9 work locations, 3 government clients and conducts business in cyber

366

operations, ground force operations, specialized military operations, and technical intelligence. They were noted as having revenue of only $6 million dollars. Much of their work appears to be directly related to battlefield operations. In 2007 they received $550k in loans from SBA. In doing the research for this book, I discovered that in Virginia alone, over $367 million dollars worth of SBA loans to over 1800 businesses were made.
[http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/companies/berico-technologies/]

[Editorial comment: I have not yet followed up to see how that compares to the rest of the country, but at least somebody is lending out money since the banks seem to be sitting on theirs. If the national average happens to be say $300 million per state then that works out to a whopping $15 billion dollars, although some folks like Ben Bernanke and his Federal Reserve Bankers might consider that chicken feed since they prefer to talk in Trillions, what?]

Further research on the names that Karp listed as being Wikileaks associates gives us a better idea of the diversity of the Wikileaks organization. President Obama embraces diversity, therefore, he shouldnt have problem embracing Wikileaks. Perhaps the Congressional probe kicked off by the Democrats looking into Palantir was an indication of a kinder and gentler Obama Administration. But I doubt it and heres why. According to the UK Guardian, Wikileaks team member James Ball is a data journalist working for the Guardian investigations team. He joined the Guardian from Wikileaks, and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. He is the Washington Post Laurence Stern Fellow for 2012. Jennifer Robinson is a civil rights lawyer who is working for Assange and recently had her own Civil Rights violated as she was put on a do not fly list in London. According to an article entitled: WikiLeaks lawyer, on inhibited person travel list, stopped at airport by Bernard Keane:
Robinson was stopped when checking in at Heathrow early this morning Australian time and told she was an inhibited person and that approval from the Australian High Commission would be needed before she was allowed to proceed. She tweeted: Security guard: you must have done something controversial
because we have to phone the embassy. Certain government agencies list.

Intriguingly, however, no Australian agency uses the term inhibited person. A DIAC spokesman told Crikey the only mechanism that would restrict uplift of a person to Australia is the Movement Alert List (MAL).

367

The government doesnt discuss who is on the MAL, but it is understood it would be highly unusual for an Australian to be on the MAL.This raises the possibility that, in spite of what she was told, Robinson was stopped not at the behest of an Australian agency but a foreign agency. In December, Robinson was in the US to monitor the pre-trial hearing of Bradley Manning and was sharply critical of the conduct of the hearing. In January, she confronted US Attorney-General Eric Holder about the Obama administrations treatment of WikiLeaks when both of them attended the Sundance Film Festival.

According to a follow-up recently posted on Wikipedia under Ms. Robinsons name:

After arriving in Australia and speaking personally with Nicola Roxon, Robinson tweeted that Roxon "confirmed the Australian government had nothing to do with the issue I had at Heathrow and expressed concern for protection of lawyers".[12] Bernard Keane reported in Crikey that "inhibited person" is "not a term used by Australian agencies" but for a secret watch list of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Theodor Reppe is the owner of Wikipedia.de, the German registered site that is often used as a URL for passing on Wikileaks information. Reppes home was raided in 2009 after he posted a list of websites that have been placed on a banned website list in Australia. Most folks think of Australia as a democratic nation. Apparently over the past several years, their government has been leaning towards the fascist side of democracy which in my view is a real black mark on the reputation of the Land Down Under. Back in 2006, a journalist led group out of Paris, France Reporters without Borders released a list of thirteen countries they deemed to be enemies of the internet, where free speech is suppressed.

Stephen Conroy, Australia's Internet Censor

URL for Australia's Draconian Internet Censorship Law http://libertus.net/ censor/netcensor.html#pc

Australia has gotten so bad that it has threatened to imprison any Australian that distributes the list. According to an article that appeared in the The Sydney Morning Herald entitled: Leaked Australian blacklist reveals banned sites by Asher Moses that was published on March 19th, 2009:
The Australian communications regulator's top-secret blacklist of banned websites has been leaked on to the web and paints a harrowing picture of Australia's forthcoming internet censorship regime. The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, said the leak and publication of the ACMA blacklist would be "grossly irresponsible" and undermine efforts to improve cyber safety. He said ACMA was investigating the matter and considering a range of possible actions including referral to the Australian Federal Police. Australians involved in making the content available would be at "serious risk of criminal prosecution".

In an article that appeared two days earlier, the Australian government was threatening anyone that linked to one of the banned sites with a $11,000 dollar per day fine.
The Australian communications regulator says it will fine people who hyperlink to sites on its blacklist, which has been further expanded to include several pages on the anonymous whistleblower site Wikileaks.

369

Wikileaks was added to the blacklist for publishing a leaked document containing Denmark's list of banned websites. The move by the Australian Communications and Media Authority comes after it threatened the host of online broadband discussion forum Whirlpool last week with a $11,000-a-day fine over a link published in its forum to another page blacklisted by ACMA - an anti-abortion website.

These facts serve to remind me just how little we here in America really knew about our democratic allies around the world due to lack of reliable international news broadcasting. The Australian story does not end with news of internet censorship however. On March 24th, 2012, it was announced that a literary historian working in the National Archives building in Sydney discovered 793 boxes of banned books dating back to the 1920s and up through the 1980s. Many of the books appear to be cheap sleaze novels and other pulp that was once the mainstay of many U.S. bookstores. According to an article that appeared on the ABC News website entitled Historian uncovers Australias censored books, the following information is disclosed about the find: The ghostly collection, including copies of the Karma Sutra and first-edition comics from the 1950s, reveals attitudes towards sexuality, politics, birth control, reading, pleasure and race. According to Professor Nicole Moore, who discovered the books, most of them were censored for offense obscenity, and the rest were banned for sedition or blasphemy. Apparently, the Australian government still has a few dinosaurs homesteading high positions as they now attempt to do the same thing to the internet. Many observers have noted that in fact Australia is making a fool of itself. But my take is that they are in good company, since here in the United States, we are not far off from having the same degree of censorship.

Birth of the Banana Wars Within the Chapters of Frederick Upham Adamss Conquest Of The Tropics, The story of the Creative Enterprises conducted by the United Fruit Company, published by Doubleday, Page & Company, Garden City, New York, 1914, it quickly becomes apparent after reading a few paragraphs that Mr. Adams was in the employee of the United Fruit Company. Throughout the book, he plays the role of apologist for the Monopolist. On pg. 12 we find him apologizing for the exploitation of the tropics and its peoples and then rationalizing the conquest:
There has been inculcated in the public mind an impression that the American should venture into the tropics is either a fool or a knave. It has openly been affirmed by public men of influence that American citizens have no rights which tropical nations are bound to respect ro our Government obligated to protect. If an individual attains in the tropics a measure of success after great risks and hardships, and despite absolute lack of sympathy or support from his home Government or his home people, he is likely to be rewarded with the insinuation that he has exploited the tropics and its natives. It is high time that the sober, thoughtful, and just majority of the America people called a halt on this discrimination against the pioneers in the development of the tropics bisected by the Panama Canal. The day has arrived when we have the choice of accepting and profiting by a legitimate opportunity, or of neglecting it and reaping thereby a harvest of misfortune and a loss of national prestige. Every American citizen should in this connection know, consider, and profit by the history of the inception and development of the United Fruit Company. It is a story of the peaceful and honorable conquest of a portion of the American tropics, and one of which every citizen should be proud. It is a record of monumental constructive work performed amid surroundings so difficult that the plain narrative seems more like a romance that the account of deeds actually performed.

In Chapter V, entitled Growth of the Great Enterprise, Adams claims United Fruit was forced into its leadership role, and appears to be issuing a warning on behalf of United Fruit to anyone that might attempt to become a competitor to the company: The blunt truth of the matter is that the United Fruit Company was forced into its present leadership in the banana industry because of the ignorance and indifference of the investing public of the United State concerning the tropics at their southern gates. The United Fruit Company to-day has certain assured advantages, and these advantages must be taken into account by any new rival which bids for its trade and business.

Even though there is a Publisher Note at the beginning of the book which statesThis book is the first of a series planned to describe certain big
businesses whose histories and operations concern and should interest the public. The publisher follows that statement with a caveat: The publishers do not wish any one to be deceived into believing that this series is any different from what it pretends to be as now announced. It is planned as an open and above-board presentation frankly putting forth the interesting points of large business enterprises. In the chapters which follow, a large portion of the information as to facts has been obtained through courtesy of the officials of the United Fruit Company. The deductions of the author stand on his reputation as a student and analyst of issues of public concern. This method will be pursued in the preparation of the books of this series, which later will be announced. It is the belief of the publishers that a series of books thus planned will possess an interest and have a real value not only to those who are investors in these great enterprises, but also to a public which is demanding that far-reaching corporations shall give an account of their stewardship.

What McAdams could not know is that 50 years later the United States Government on behalf of United Fruit would be assassinating politicians using CIA trained hit men and staging Coup dtats of democratically elected leaders to ensure the continued success of the company. Yes, the CIA operation named PBSUCCESS was the result of President Arbenz in Guatemala committing to a land reform movement at a time when United Fruit Company owned a whopping 40% of the arable land in Guatemala. The elitist bastards running the United States Government and corporate enterprises just couldnt have Guatemalans owning their own land in their country what? So the good President Eisenhower ordered Arbenz and his government to be taken down. The CIA operation was designed to paint Arbenz as a communist. This has since proven to have been a pure text-book psychological warfare operations fabrication. I grew up in the baby boomer generation. I was born in 1961. The things I was taught in school about America and the honor of Americans has since become clear to me to be blatantly false. Had the internet not come along, perhaps I would have remained blissfully ignorant in my idealism. However, that was not to be the case, and since 1995, the year I first signed up for internet service, my knowledge about my nations sins has become so extensive that at times it is an unwelcome mental burden to shoulder. Noble ides become ignoble when murder is used a tool of state power. The United States has used murder over and over again to assert its power. I personally would like to see that change. I truly want my

376

nation to live up to the ideal America that I was taught existed. However, I am no longer nave, and I am almost certain that this will not occur in my lifetime as one President after another continues to use murder to accomplish the so-called goals of our nation. Many people in America thought Obama would be different. Newsflash: Obamas middle name is not Hussein, as the news media has stated. It is Bush and I can prove it, because you seejust like his predecessor of the same family name, Obama kow-tows to AIPAC and the Zionist U.S. Department of States. Obama is not his own man! He is a Zionist Puppet! If he were, he would not allow the murder of U.S. Citizens and foreigners to continue in the name of an Illegitimate War on Terror a war born out of a policy of appeasement to Apartheid Israel and its bigoted and racist Zionist leaders. The only president since World War II that has not used murder is President Jimmy Carter. President Jimmy Carter was and is an honorable man.

Conquest of the Tropics

by

Frederick Upham Adams Chapter VI - Birth of the United Fruit Company Only those who have lived in the tropic and are familiar with the hazards which confront the cultivation and marketing of its fruits can readily understand the motives which impelled a union of the interests of the Boston Fruit Company and those headed by Minor C. Keith. It was not a move calculated to control competition or to rear a monopoly; it was the business step imperatively required to secure the permanency of the banana industry. In 1898, the year preceding the organization of the United Fruit Company, the total importation of bananas from the American tropics did not exceed 12,000,000 bunches, or about one-fourth of those imported in 1913. It is doubtful if any food product has shown a similar increase in any equal period in the worlds history. The sole reason why the year 1913 did not exceed the figure of 50,000,000 bunches of imported bananas is that no more were available for shipment to the consuming sections of the United States and Europe. The problem in 1898 was to produce more bananas for a steadily mounting popular demand. That is the problem to-day. The field was open to all comers in 1898. It is open to all who care to enter it to-day. Under such conditions the presumption that a banana monopoly ever existed, now exists, or is possible cannot be entertained by those who understand the first rudiment of the laws of business and commerce. At the time of the organization of the United Fruit Company the following firms, corporations, and persons were engaged in importing bananas into the United States: Boston Fruit Company, Tropical Trading and Transport Company, Ltd., Columbian Land Company, Ltd., Snyder Banana Company, J.D. hart Company, Orr & Laubenheimer Company, Ltd., Camors, McConnell & Company, New Orleans Belize Royal Mail & Central American Steamship Company, W.W. & C.R. Noyes, John E. Kerr & Company, J.H. Seward Importing & Steamship Company,

379

Aspinwall Fruit Company, West Indian Fruit Company, Monumental Trading Company, West India Trading Company, Henry Bayer & Son, Camors-Weinberger Banana Company, Ltd., J.B. Cefalu & Brother, S. Oteri, The Bluefields Steamship Company, Ltd., W.L. Rathbun & Company. There were undoubtedly other firms and individuals engaged in a small scale in the banana business, but the above list includes all those of consequence in the trade. The first four were merged into the United Fruit Company. Some of the others have retired, others have been absorbed by the companies which now compete with the United Fruit Company, but not a firm, corporation, or individual engaged in the banana business at the time of the incorporation of the united Fruit Company has failed because of the operations of that company. Prior to 1899, the year of the formation of the United Fruit Company, there had been organized, according to the best available information, not less than 114 companies or firms which engaged in the importation of bananas to the United States. Of this large listas has been statedonly twenty-two of any consequence were still in existence when the United Fruit Company was formed. Most of these banana companies were inadequately financed, and most of them were under the management of men who had no practical knowledge of the banana industry. Few had been in business for as long a period as ten years, and most of them handled insignificant quantities of bananas. With monotonous regularity these mushroom banana companies would spring into being, struggle along for a short time, and then drop out of existence, leaving behind no assets for their stockholders. Such experimental banana companies still are founded, most of them with capital stock ranging from $50,000 to $200,000. These amounts of money are sufficient to finance a banana plantation, but it is as idle to expect to become a producer, importer, and national distributor of bananas with such capital as it would be to expect to compete successfully with the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph with a new company thus financed. When the banana industry was in its infancy there was a possibility of temporary success even with the most crude and wasteful of methods.

380

The cargoes were small, and it was not difficult to dispose of the fruit over the ships sides a few bunches at a time. The market was largely confined to the port in which the ship docked, the prices were high, and the consumption small. The fruit was generally secured by purchase from the native tropical planters, sometimes by contract, but more often in the open market. Few companies, even in the late 90s, grew any bananas on their own plantations, and when they did, these formed merely the nuclei of their cargoes, the remainder being secured by purchase. Practically all of the importers of this early period looked to one source of supply and had only one port of entry in the United States. In some instances, the importer simply chartered space on steamers and stored it with bananas; the more ambitious importers chartered ships, but these were of low speed and had a capacity for a comparatively small number of stem of bananas. Arriving in the United States, the fruit was unloaded by hand, and in the early days the prospective purchasers would assemble on the wharves to secure their supplies. Naturally, they chose their own fruit, buying as they did only a few bunches at a time. In later years, however, the importers adopted the custom of selling the fruit by steamer run, viz: as it came out of the steamer, declining to permit the buyer to pick out the best bunches. Some importers had stores and ripening rooms where they could keep a portion of their fruit and sell it gradually. What was left, after every possible local demand had been satisfied, was then shipped to various interior points usually consigned to some broker. Sometimes the fruit was shipped a long distance, from New Orleans to Chicago, but it was not often necessary to assume such risks. The importers knew little concerning the business as a whole; they were not familiar with the interior markets or how to reach them, and the industry in all of its departments was conducted in a wasteful and haphazard manner, the public paying their share of these blunders in high prices for bananas, and the importer paying their share in losses which generally ended in bankruptcy. New Orleans took the first step for a business organization designed to secure a proper distribution of bananas in 1896, three years prior to the formation of the United Fruit Company. In this year, four of the New Orleans companies formed the New Orleans Importing Company, a selling organization intended to dispose of the fruit imported by its members. The New Orleans experiment was successful while it lasted, but jealousies and dissensions among the heads of the four companies requiring it services caused its dissolution after a few months. Another effort in the same direction was made early in 1899 when similar problems resulted in the formation of the Southern Banana

381

Exchange. Like its predecessor, it worked satisfactorily, but its usefulness was cut short in three or four months by the inability of its members to get along without friction. The truth of the matter is, that the banana industry, prior to the formation of the United Fruit Company, had made sorry progress compared with other importing enterprises. The Boston Fruit Company and those concerns headed by Mr. Keith were the most progressive in their methods, but they were handicapped by conditions which will now be considered. The Boston Fruit Company and the Keith interest were the leading factors in the banana industry. The Boston Fruit Company derived its product solely from the West Indies and confined its market to the Atlantic coast and to the northern sections of the interior of the United States. The Keith interests cultivated bananas in Central America and Colombia and shipped them mainly to New Orleans and other Gulf ports, but lacked the facilities for reaching far into the southern and western territory naturally tributary to these shipping and railroad termini. The competition between the Boston Fruit Company and the Keith interests, nor was there any prospect that their activities would conflict. Neither of these interest had the capital with which to take advantage of obvious opportunities, but the time had arrived when moneyed men were willing to listen to the possibilities of the banana as an investment. They still declined to class it as a conservative investment, and, such is the proverbial timidity of capital, it is not so considered to-day, as stock quotations eloquently testify. Your cautious man of money seek investments which he can look at and study personally from day to day, the securities of which he can convert into cash almost at a moments notice, and the tropicswell, the tropics are far from New York and Boston. Hence a tropical investment must prove and double prove itself before the average man of money will consider it, and then the lure must be attractive, in dividend per cents. But in the years which had passed since Carl B. Franc, Captain Lorenzo D. Baker, Andrew W. Preston, Minor C. Keith, and others faced the hardships and risks of the pioneer, certain things had been proved beyond possibility of doubt. The most favorable thing proved by these pioneers was that the people of the United States liked bananas and would eat them in unlimited quantities if offered at prices which would compete with such home fruits as apples, peaches, pears, and oranges. The second favorable consideration proved was that bananas could be grown cheaply and in large quantities in certain tropical sections, provided weather condition continued favorable.

382

The disturbing and discouraging element was found in the fact that a flood, drought, or high wind would destroy a crop in a given section and eliminate it as a source of production for a year or more. Capital pays more attention to one flaw in a new proposition than it does to ten of its glowing promises. Possibly this is the reason why we have such a thing as capital. In any event, capital in 1898 declined to enthuse over an enterprise which could not prove its ability to supply at all times the commodity in which a large investment was to be made. There was ample justification for this attitude. The Boston Fruit Company had learned by grim and expensive experience that the tropics could frown as well as smile. Hurricanes leveled some of their best plantations in Jamaica. The replanted tracts would later be swept away by roaring floods. Drought shriveled the fronds of the banana plants in Cuba and San Domingo. Nor was nature the only one strike blows. Warring factions waged revolutions and counter-revolutions in Cuba and San Domingo. There was no stability of governments, no assurance that the field workers of to-day would not follow some ambitious general on the morrow in the quest of liberty or loot. The Boston Fruit Company did not have a source of banana supply which it could insure against sweeping disaster without warning. Under the most favorable circumstances its total supply was insufficient to meet the rapidly increasing demand, and any curtailment meant not only money losses but damaged prestige as well. The enterprises headed by Mr. Keith faced the same menace. Terrific floods in Costa Rica and Panama Swept away the railroad tracks and bridges and overwhelmed the loaded plants in large districts. In one year a protracted drought in the Santa Marta district of Colombia practically killed all the plantations. Revolutions in some of the Central American republics played their part in determining whether crops would be harvested or not. But luck, chance, or the law of average decreed that these disasters to the banana crops should be local, and that a large portion in the American tropics would survive in any year despite the rage of the elements and the fury of warring political factions. The obvious remedy of a banana importing concern was to provide for sources of supply in many district scattered all over the America tropics. This expedient was so obvious and so imperative that it should have suggested itself and been adopted years prior to the formation of the United Fruit company. It was the natural, reasonable, sensible, and logical thing to do. The consolidation of the interests of the Boston Fruit Company and the companies controlled by Minor C. Keith was brought about, as a matter of fact, not as the result of a carefully considered plan, but

383

through a financial disaster which seriously threatened Mr. Keith. In the latter part of 1898 the firm of Hoadley & Company failed. Mr. Keith had drawn bills against this company to the amount of $1,500,000. He was conducting extensive operations in many tropical sections, and this failure was serious blow. For Year Mr. Keith had consigned his bananas to Hoadley & Company, through the port of New Orleans. There was consequent shattering of his plans for the marketing of bananas. I told in a former chapter of the time when 1,500 Jamaica negroes worked nine months for Mr. Keith without wages owing to the inability of the Government of Costa Rica to pay money due for railroad construction. He failing of Hoadley & Company and the financial crippling of Mr. Keith gave Costa Rica a chance to prove that republics are not always ungrateful. This crisis found Mr. Keith obligated to Costa Rica, which held his drafts in large amounts, but this made no difference. The government officials of that republic promptly offered to lend Mr. Keith any reasonable amount of money to tide him over his difficulties, and he accepted their aid. The Costa Rican banks and others cooperated, and two weeks after the failure Mr. Keith arrived in New York City and made a settlement in full with his creditors. Mr. Keith, on account of the failure of his agents, was compelled to make new arrangements for the sale of his fruit and entered into negotiations with Andrew W. Preston, president of the Boston Fruit Company. The latter organization had just formed the Fruit Dispatch Company for the purpose of expediting and extending the distribution and sale of bananas. An arrangement was made by which a portion of the Mr. Keiths product would be handled by the Boston Fruit Company or its branches, and it was in this manner that Mr. Preston and Mr. Keith came in closer business contact. It has been explained that Mr. Keith took up banana cultivation and transportation as a means to supply freight for his tropical railroads, but in the years which had passed since 1871 his banana enterprises had progressed to a stage which demanded a large share of his time. Instead of being a secondary interest, as mr. Keith had intended it to be, his banana enterprises threatened to divert his whole time from the railroad projects on which he had set his ambition. Andrew W. Preston, president and directing spirit of the Boston Fruit Company and its branches, was anxious to secure new sources of banana supply, and was fully aware that some of these should come from Central and South America. Under such conditions it was easy to initiate and conclude negotiations looking to the lawful consolidation of the properties of these two non-competitive groups of banana companies. Mr. Preston, Mr. Keith, and their associates were also influenced by a hope that such an

384

amalgamation would create an enterprise sufficiently conservative and devoid of risks to attract the outside capital required to place the banana business on a more secure financial foundation. It had been obvious of years that the banana industry was one which must be conducted on a large scale. It could be gambled in on a small scale, but there is a wide difference between rearing a conservative banana enterprise and taking a chance on the luck of a ship and a local banana plantation. Most agricultural products can be raised on a small scale. Wheat, corn, oats, barley, garden truck, apples, pears, grapes, and scores of other food and fruit products can be brought from the soil by individual of limited means, who can compete successfully with those who cultivate much larger tracts. Cotton is in the same class, but sugar and bananas are in an entirely different class. Sugar and bananas can be produced on a small scale, but their economical production positively demands vast acreage and vast expenditures for the complicated equipment of handling and transportation. It was a demonstrated fact in 1899 that no banana enterprise could hope for permanent success unless financially equipped to insure a widely scattered source of supply, adequate means of transportation, and, finally, methods of distribution which would place bananas within speedy reach of all of the consuming centres in the United States. Investors had never been offered a chance in a banana enterprise of this character. Would it prove attractive? Mr. Keith, Mr. Preston, and their associates discussed the question of a consolidation of interest and gave careful consideration to the various details. It was found possible to enlist financial support for the organization of a properly equipped banana enterprise. The United Fruit Company was not, strictly speaking, a consolidation of the interest of the northern and southern groups headed respectively by Andrew W. Preston and Minor C. Keith. The United Fruit Company was incorporated on March 30, 1899, under the laws of New Jersey, as a single, individual corporation, with an authorized capital of $20,000,000. Shortly thereafter, $1,650,000 was subscribed and paid for in cash at par, and during the first year $11,230,000 in stock was subscribed. It was authorized under its charter to acquire, by purchase or development, banan and other properties and to conduct them in the manner provided by law. Under this charter the United Fruit Company, on April I, 1899, offered to purchase all of the property, business, and shares of the Boston Fruit Company and of its associated companies of $5,200,200 cash. This offer was later accepted and resulted in the acquisition by the United Fruit Company of the assets of the Boston Fruit Company, and its seven

385

branch companies, viz: the American Fruit Company, Banes Fruit Company, Buckman Fruit Company, Dominican Fruit Company, Quaker City Fruit Company, and Sama Fruit Company, also the Fruit Dispatch Company. These seven branches of the Boston Fruit Company were organized from time to time for business convenience, and were owned outright or largely controlled by the parent company. This system of branch companies was the conventional expedient of the time and was not a subject of comment or criticism. The Banes Fruit Company, Dominican Fruit Company, and Sama Fruit Company were companies organized and owned by the Boston Fruit Company, and were operated solely for the purpose of owning plantations and growing bananas in Cuba and San Domingo. They were strictly agricultural propositions. The American Fruit Company, Buckman Fruit Company, and Quaker City Fruit Company were organized by the Boston Fruit Company to transport bananas from Cuba, San Domingo, and Jamaica to the United States, and to sell them in different points in the northern and northeaster sections of the country. The Boston Fruit Company imported bananas into the port of Boston; the American Fruit Company imported bananas to New York City, the Quaker City Fruit Company to Philadelphia, and the Buckman Fruit Company to Baltimore. The Boston Fruit Company furnished to the American, Quaker City, and Buckman companies all of the bananas imported and sold by them. In other words, all of these companies were merely branches of the Boston Fruit Company. The Fruit Dispatch Company was organized and wholly owned by the Boston Fruit Company, and was a selling corporation only. It still maintains a separate corporate existence, but is owned outright by the United Fruit Company. To all intents and purposed the Boston Fruit Company and the branches organized and owned by it were one corporation in 1899. The branches were organized and maintained for purposed of convenience and for conventional business reasons, mainly local. It was within the power and the right of the Boston Fruit Company to absorb its branches at any time, or to make such other disposition of them as it saw fit. Despite this obvious fact, it has been alleged that the United Fruit Company acquired these branch companies because they were competitive with the Boston Fruit Companyan absurd and utterly unfounded statement. The source of banana supply did not extend south of Jamaica and there was no port of entry south of Baltimore. So much for the northern or Boston group.

386

On April 5, 1899, the United Fruit Company purchased from Minor C. Keith and his associates all of the properties owned by the Tropical Trading and Transport Company, Ltd., the Colombian Land Company, Ltd., and the Snyder Banana Company, all three of which had been under the management and control of Mr. Keith. These three properties were acquired for about $4,000,000. The Colombian Land Company, Ltd., and the Tropical Trading and Transport Company, Ltd., were corporation whose operations were restricted solely to the cultivation of banana plantations in Colombia and Costa Rica respectively. The Snyder Banana Company owned plantations in Panama and chartered a few steamers which carried its fruit and other freight from Bocas del Toro to New Orleans and Mobile. The width of the Caribbean separated this group from the one to which it had been united, and the ports of entry and distribution were no nearer than Baltimore and Mobile. Such is the plain history of the organization of the United Fruit Company. Its legal incorporation meant more than the birth of a corporation. (It was the actual birth of the banana industry.) It had taken thirty-four years of blunders, experiments, disasters, partial successes and assumption of the innumerable risks and hardships incident to a struggle with the virgin tropics to create an enterprise fit to take advantage of the experience which had so dearly been bought. The great experiment of whether bananas could be produced and handled on a vastly larger scale had yet to be made, and there were many who did not hesitate to predict that the ambitions plans of the newly organized United Fruit Company would end in overwhelming failure.

Introduction
The events of October 29th, 2010 flashed simultaneously across the major media outlets almost as if they had each received a tip from some secret omniscient source at the same instance in time. Although this may seem inconceivable, it is possible, but not probable. More likely than not, each broadcaster has someone monitoring the FAA and keeping abreast of airline events as they unfold. Or perhaps they were tipped by someone within the federal government. Who broke the story first is debatable, but my guess would be that it was CBS as they fully understand the proper relationship that should be played by the media during times of national crisis. You might say CBS is akin to GM, and Goldman Sachs too big to fail.

Governments come and go but CBS has been doing the governments bidding since the days of The Great Depression after its founding in 1928 by William S. Paley. Through his marriage to William Randolph Hearsts third son John Randolph Hearsts ex-wife Dorothy Hart Hearst (a woman whom apparently knew what she wanted as she was married not only to Hearst and Paley but also to a Walter Hirshon, a New York Stock Broker and a third marriage also ending in divorce), Paley was thrust into the light of the Roosevelt Administration. [Dorothy H. Hirshon, 89, Dies; Socialite and Philanthropist by Enid Nemy, New York Times, January 31, 1998] During World War II, Paley honed his skill set as a media manipulator working for the Office of War Informations Psychological Warfare Department under General Dwight D. Eisenhower. During this time he also became friends with Edward R. Murrow. This friendship

389

was short lived however after a fallout over a bit of hard hitting reporting Murrow was doing that cost CBS some serious advertising dollars from the Alcoa Corporation. Profits run a newspaper, not news. Thus, news can be manipulated, bought and sold for a sum certain quantity of advertising dollars. CBS is no different than any other broadcaster in this respect, but its long relationship with government and Paleys constant critical eye to this regard up until his death in 1995 has given CBS the needed credibility with government agencies as the go to guys when the U.S. Government needs to put the fix in. Caveat; one might have to excuse Dan Rathers faux pas newscooking scheme using forged documents with the intent to make President Bush look bad during his re-election bid back during the 2004 Presidential Election over his military service or lack thereof. Apparently, the government and CBS are back on speaking terms.
[http://www.consortiumnews.com/2010/112310.html]

Paley was also known to be in bed with the CIA. According to an article that appeared in Rolling Stone magazine on October 20th, 1977 by Carl Bernstein that took an in-depth look at the special relationship between broadcast and print journalists and the CIA:
The Columbia Broadcasting System -- CBS was unquestionably the CIA's most valuable broadcasting asset. CBS president William Paley and Allen Dulles enjoyed an easy working and social relationship. Over the years, the network provided cover for CIA employees, including at least one well-known foreign correspondent and several stringers; it supplied outtakes of newsfilm to the CIA; established a formal channel of communication between the Washington bureau chief and the Agency; gave the Agency access to the CBS newsfilm library; and allowed reports by CBS correspondents to the Washington and New York newsrooms to be routinely monitored by the CIA. Once a year during the 1950s and early 1960s, CBS correspondents joined the CIA hierarchy for private dinners and briefings.

CBS has lost much of its credibility over the past several years following the Dan Rather incident due to the fact that they continue to manipulate news coverage. Their most recent yellow journalist crime which sinks to an all time low of despicability occurred back in 2009 when Mike Wallace was presented with the rare opportunity to interview Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and then edited what President Ahmadinejad actually said in order to present an inaccurate view of the Iranian Presidents beliefs. The actual words of Ahmadinejad had everything to do with the democratic process and not Israel being wiped off the face of the earth as was broadcast around the globe by the Zionist influenced U.S. Media. Mike Wallace is a liar. Unfortunately, he

390

is dead now and not around to make amends for this crime against democracy and the free press. To make matters worse, Wallace also accepted an Emmy for the 60 Minutes Interview, handed to him by none other than Katy Couric, thus being rewarded for a fabricated sham created because the resulting full interview did not fit the Zionists desired outcome. Katy Couric has now joined the ever swelling ranks of sullied yellow journalists willing to sell out their reputations due to the ridiculous, real, and unhealthy fear that all network journalists have because they must kowtow to Zionist philosophy in order to keep their jobs.

A durable peace will only come about once the views of the people are met, so we said allow the people of Palestine to participate in a Referendum to choose their desired government, and of course for the war to come to an end as well. Why are they refusing to allow this to go ahead?

Even the Palestinian administration and government which has been elected by the people is being attacked on a daily basis, and its highranking officials are assassinated and arrested. Yesterday the speaker of the Palestinian Parliament was arrested, elected by the people, mind you. How long can this go on? We believe that this problem has to be dealt with ah fundamentally, I believe that the American government is blindly supporting this government of occupation.it should lift its support, allow the people to participate in free and fair elections.whatever happens let it be.we will accept and go along.the result will be as you said earlier sir [End of Exchange] For the version that aired on 60 Minutes for dumbed down American consumption, Mike Wallace and Morely Safer edited out the parts about democracy in case folks in the United States should get the wrong impression about President Ahmadinejad. The bottom line is that CBS cannot be trusted by the American people unless the Zionist are cleared out of the organization and I dont see that happening anytime soon unless the government steps in and demands fair and balanced reporting. So just how does the CIA use CBS and other readily available media assets? The answer to this can be found in the following CIA Operational Doctrine that was used to overthrow the communist regime in Guatemala back in the 1950s. According to an article written by Tim Weiner entitled CIA in 1950's Drew Up List of Guatemalan Leaders to Be Assassinated which was published by the New York Times on May 28th, 1997:
In 1953, under President Eisenhower, the CIA drew up plans for assassinations, sabotage and propaganda to overthrow Arbenz. The assassination list contained the names of at least 58 Guatemalan supporters of Guzman who the CIA suspected were Communists. Late that year, the National Security Council gave Operation Success the go-ahead. The State Department, now led by John Foster Dulles, the brother of the director of central intelligence, Allen Dulles, worked closely with the CIA. The coup went quickly, from June 16 through June 27, 1954, with radio propaganda and political subversion proving to be the most effective weapons. Arbenz resigned, denounced the United States, and took refuge in Mexico. CIA plans for Operation Success called for the assassinations, and these plans were discussed in great detail at very high levels of the agency and the State Department, the records show.

393

No record of the formal approval or disapproval of these plans by Eisenhower or the Dulles brothers has been made public. None likely exists. The newly released files include a 22-page how-to manual on murder that says, "No assassination instructions should ever be written or recorded." The CIA records show it conducted what it called a "nerve war" against some of these targets -- government officials, "unfriendly army officers" and the like -- in 1953 and 1954. Its plans included sending them death threats; telephoning them, "preferably between 2 and 5 a.m.," with blood-curdling warnings; and denouncing them to their superiors with accusations, ranging "from treason to tax evasion."

CIA Study on Assassination DEFINITION Assassination is a term thought to be derived from "Hashish", a drug similar to marijuana, said to have been used by Hasan-Dan-Sabah to induce motivation in his followers, who were assigned to carry out political and other murders, usually at the cost of their lives. It is here used to describe the planned killing of a person who is not under the legal jurisdiction of the killer, who is not physically in the hands of the killer, who has been selected by a resistance organization for death, and who has been sele cted by a resistance organization for death, and whose death provides positive advantages to that organization. EMPLOYMENT Assassination is an extreme measure not normally used in clandestine operations. It should be assumed that it will never be ordered or authorized by any U.S. Headquarters, though the latter may in rare instances agree to its execution by members of an associated foreign service. This reticence is partly due to the necessity for committing communications to paper. No assassination instructions should ever be written or recorded. Consequently, the decision to employ this technique must nearly always be reached in the field, at the area where the act will take place. Decision and instructions should be confined to an absolute minimum of persons. Ideally, only one person will be involved. No report may be made, but usually the act will be properly covered by normal news services, whose output is available to all concerned. JUSTIFICATION Murder is not morally justifiable. Self-defense may be argued if the victim has knowledge which may destroy the resistance organization if divulged. Assassination of persons responsible for atrocities or reprisals may be regarded as just puni shment. Killing a political leader whose burgeoning career is a clear and present danger to the cause of freedom may be held necessary. But assassination can seldom be employed with a clear conscience. Persons who are morally squeamish should not attempt it.

395

CLASSIFICATIONS The techniques employed will vary according to whether the subject is unaware of his danger, aware but unguarded, or guarded. They will also be affected by whether or not the assassin is to be killed with the subject hereafter, assassinations in which the subject is unaware will be termed "simple"; those where the subject is aware but unguarded will be termed "chase"; those where the victim is guarded will be termed "guarded." If the assassin is to die with the subject, the act will be called "lost." If the assassin is to escape, the adjective will be "safe." It should be noted that no compromises should exist here. The assassin must not fall alive into enemy hands. A further type division is caused by the need to conceal the fact that the subject was actually the victim of assassination, rather than an accident or natural causes. If such concealment is desirable the operation will be called "secret"; if concealment is immaterial, the act will be called "open"; while if the assassination requires publicity to be effective it will be termed "terroristic." Following these definitions, the assassination of Julius Caesar was safe, simple, and terroristic, while that of Huey Long was lost, guarded and open. Obviously, successful secret assassinations are not recorded as assassination at all. Khun Worawongsathirat of Thailand and Augustus Caesar may have been the victims of safe, guarded and secret assassination. Chase assassinations usually involve clandestine agents or members of criminal organizations. THE ASSASSIN In safe assassinations, the assassin needs the usual qualities of a clandestine agent. He should be determined, courageous, intelligent, resourceful, and physically active. If special equipment is to be used, such as firearms or drugs, it is clear that he must have outstanding skill with such equipment. Except in terroristic assassinations, it is desirable that the assassin be transient in the area. He should have an absolute minimum of contact with the rest of the organization and his instructions should be given orally by one person only. His safe evacuation after the act is absolutely essential, but here again contact should be as limited as possible. It is preferable that the person issuing instructions also conduct any withdrawal or covering action which may be necessary.

396

In lost assassination, the assassin must be a fanatic of some sort. Politics, religion, and revenge are about the only feasible motives. Since a fanatic is unstable psychologically, he must be handled with extreme care. He must not know the identities of the other members of the organization, for although it is intended that he die in the act, something may go wrong. While the Assassin of Trotsky has never revealed any significant information, it was unsound to depend on this when the act was planned. PLANNING When the decision to assassinate has been reached, the tactics of the operation must be planned, based upon an estimate of the situation similar to that used in military operations. The preliminary estimate will reveal gaps in information and possibly indicate a need for special equipment which must be procured or constructed. When all necessary data has been collected, an effective tactical plan can be prepared. All planning must be mental; no papers should ever contain evidence of the oper ation. In resistance situations, assassination may be used as a counter-reprisal. Since this requires advertising to be effective, the resistance organization must be in a position to warn high officials publicly that their lives will be the price of rep risal action against innocent people. Such a threat is of no value unless it can be carried out, so it may be necessary to plan the assassination of various responsible officers of the oppressive regime and hold such plans in readiness to be used only i f provoked by excessive brutality. Such plans must be modified frequently to meet changes in the tactical situation. TECHNIQUES The essential point of assassination is the death of the subject. A human being may be killed in many ways but sureness is often overlooked by those who may be emotionally unstrung by the seriousness of this act they intend to commit. The specific technique employed will depend upon a large number of variables, but should be constant in one point: Death must be absolutely certain. The attempt on Hitler's life failed because the conspiracy did not give this matter proper attention.

397

Techniques may be considered as follows: 1. Manual. It is possible to kill a man with the bare hands, but very few are skillful enough to do it well. Even a highly trained Judo expert will hesitate to risk killing by hand unless he has absolutely no alternative. However, the simplest local tools a re often much the most efficient means of assassination. A hammer, axe, wrench, screw driver, fire poker, kitchen knife, lamp stand, or anything hard, heavy and handy will suffice. A length of rope or wire or a belt will do if the assassin is strong and agile. All such improvised weapons have the important advantage of availability and apparent innocence. The obviously lethal machine gun failed to kill Trotsky where an item of sporting goods succeeded. In all safe cases where the assassin may be subject to search, either before or after the act, specialized weapons should not be used. Even in the lost case, the assassin may accidentally be searched before the act and should not carry an incrimin ating device if any sort of lethal weapon can be improvised at or near the site. If the assassin normally carries weapons because of the nature of his job, it may still be desirable to improvise and implement at the scene to avoid disclosure of his ident ity. 2. Accidents. For secret assassination, either simple or chase, the contrived accident is the most effective technique. When successfully executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually investigated. The most efficient accident, in simple assassination, is a fall of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface. Elevator shafts, stair wells, unscreened windows and bridges will serve. Bridge falls into water are not reliable. In simple cases a private meeting with the subject may be arranged at a properly-cased location. The act may be executed by sudden, vigorous [excised] of the ankles, tipping the subject over the edge. If the assassin immediately sets up an outcry, playing the "horrified witness", no alibi or surreptitious withdrawal is necessary. In chase cases it will usually be necessary to stun or drug the subject before dropping him. Care is required to insure that no wound or condition not attributable to the fall is discernible after death. Falls into the sea or swiftly flowing rivers may suffice if the subject cannot swim. It will be more reliable if the assassin can arrange to attempt

398

rescue, as he can thus be sure of the subject's death and at the same time establish a workable alibi. If the subject's personal habits make it feasible, alcohol may be used ( )to prepare him for a contrived accident of any kind. Falls before trains or subway cars are usually effective, but require exact timing and can seldom be free from unexpected observation. Automobile accidents are a less satisfactory means of assassination. If the subject is deliberately run down, very exact timing is necessary and investigation is likely to be thorough. If the subject's car is tampered with, reliability is very low. The subject may be stunned or drugged and then placed in the car, but this is only reliable when the car can be run off a high cliff or into deep water without observation. Arson can cause accidental death if the subject is drugged and left in a burning building. Reliability is not satisfactory unless the building is isolated and highly combustible. 3. Drugs. In all types of assassination except terroristic, drugs can be very effective. If the assassin is trained as a doctor or nurse and the subject is under medical care, this is an easy and rare method. An overdose of morphine administered as a sedative will cause death without disturbance and is difficult to detect. The size of the dose will depend upon whether the subject has been using narcotics regularly. If not, two grains will suffice. If the subject drinks heavily, morphine or a similar narcotic can be injected at the passing out stage, and the cause of death will often be held to be acute alcoholism. Specific poisons, such as arsenic or strychine, are effective but their possession or procurement is incriminating, and accurate dosage is problematical. Poison was used unsuccessfully in the assassination of Rasputin and Kolohan, though the latte r case is more accurately described as a murder. 4. Edge Weapons Any locally obtained edge device may be successfully employed. A certain minimum of anatomical knowledge is needed for reliability.

399

Puncture wounds of the body cavity may not be reliable unless the heart is reached. The heart is protected by the rib cage and is not always easy to locate. Abdominal wounds were once nearly always mortal, but modern medical treatment has made this no longer true. Absolute reliability is obtained by severing the spinal cord in the cervical region. This can be done with the point of a knife or a light blow of an axe or hatchet. Another reliable method is the severing of both jugular and carotid blood vessels on both sides of the windpipe. If the subject has been rendered unconscious by other wounds or drugs, either of the above methods can be used to insure death. 5. Blunt Weapons As with edge weapons, blunt weapons require some anatomical knowledge for effective use. Their main advantage is their universal availability. A hammer may be picked up almost anywhere in the world. Baseball and softball bats are very widely distributed. Even a rock or a heavy stick will do, and nothing resembling a weapon need be procured, carried or subsequently disposed of. Blows should be directed to the temple, the area just below and behind the ear, and the lower, rear portion of the skull. Of course, if the blow is very heavy, any portion of the upper skull will do. The lower frontal portion of the head, from the eyes to the throat, can withstand enormous blows without fatal consequences. 6. Firearms Firearms are often used in assassination, often very ineffectively. The assassin usually has insufficient technical knowledge of the limitations of weapons, and expects more range, accuracy and killing power than can be provided with reliability. Since certainty of death is the major requirement, firearms should be used which can provide destructive power at least 100% in excess of that thought to be necessary, and ranges should be half that considered practical for the weapon.

400

Firearms have other drawbacks. Their possession is often incriminating. They may be difficult to obtain. They require a degree of experience from the user. They are loud. Their accuracy is consistently over-rated. However, there are many cases in which firearms are probably more efficient than any other means. These cases usually involve distance between the assassin and the subject, or comparative physical weakness of the assassin, as with a woman. (a) The Precision Rifle. In guarded assassination, a good hunting or target rifle should always be considered as a possibility. Absolute reliability can nearly always be achieved at a distance of one hundred yards. In ideal circumstances, t he range may be extended to 250 yards. The rifle should be a well made bolt or falling block action type, handling a powerful long-range cartridge. The .300 F.A.B. Magnum is probably the best cartridge readily available. Other excellent calibers are . 375 M.( ) Magnum, .270 Winchester, .30 106 p.s., 8 x 60 MM Magnum, 9.3 x 62 kk and others of this type. These are preferable to ordinary military calibers, since ammunition available for them is usually of the expanding bullet type, whereas most ammunition for military rifles is full jacketed and hence not sufficiently let hal. Military ammunition should not be altered by filing or drilling bullets, as this will adversely affect accuracy. The rifle may be of the "bull gun" variety, with extra heavy barrel and set triggers, but in any case should be capable of maximum precision. Ideally, the weapon should be able to group in one inch at one hundred yards, but 21/2" groups are adequate. The sight should be telescopic, not only for accuracy, but because such a sight is much better in dim light or near darkness. As long as the bare outline of the target is discernable, a telescope sight will work, even if the rifle and shooter are in total darkness. An expanding, hunting bullet of such calibers as described above will produce extravagant laceration and shock at short or mid-range. If a man is struck just once in the body cavity, his death is almost entirely certain. Public figures or guarded officials may be killed with great reliability and some safety if a firing point can be established prior to an official occasion. The propaganda value of this system may be very high.

401

(b) The Machine Gun. Machine guns may be used in most cases where the precision rifle is applicable. Usually, this will require the subversion of a unit of an official guard at a ceremony, though a skillful and determined team might conceivably dispose of a loyal gun crow without commotion and take over the gun at the critical time. The area fire capacity of the machine gun should not be used to search out a concealed subject. This was tried with predictable lack of success on Trotsky. The automatic feature of the machine gun should rather be used to increase reliability by placing a 5 second burst on the subject. Even with full jacket ammunition, this will be absolute lethal is the burst pattern is no larger than a man. This can be accomplished at about 150 yards. In ideal circumstances, a properly padded and targeted machine gun can do it at 850 yards. The major difficulty is placing the first burst exactly on the target, as most machine gunners are trained to spot their fire on target by observation of strike. This will not do in assassination as the subject will not wait. (c) The Submachine Gun. This weapon, known as the "machine-pistol" by the Russians and Germans and "machine-carbine" by the British, is occasionally useful in assassination. Unlike the rifle and machine gun, this is a short range weapon and since it fires pistol ammunition, much less powerful. To be reliable, it should deliver at least 5 rounds into the subject's chest, though the .45 caliber U.S. weapons have a much larger margin of killing efficiency than the 9 mm European arms. The assassination range of the sub-machine gun is pointblank. While accurate single rounds can be delivered by sub-machine gunners at 50 yards or more, this is not certain enough for assassination. Under ordinary circumstances, the 5MG should be used as a fully automatic weapon. In the hands of a capabl e gunner, a high cyclic rate is a distinct advantage, as speed of execution is most desirable, particularly in the case of multiple subjects. The sub-machine gun is especially adapted to indoor work when more than one subject is to be assassinated. An effective technique has been devised for the use of a pair of sub-machine gunners, by which a room containing as many as a dozen subjects can be "purifico" in about twenty seconds with little or no risk to the gunners. It is illustrated below.

402

While the U.S. sub-machine guns fire the most lethal cartridges, the higher cyclic rate of some foreign weapons enable the gunner to cover a target quicker with acceptable pattern density. The Bergmann Model 1934 is particularly good in this way. The Danish Madman SMG has a moderately good cyclic rate and is admirably compact and concealable. The Russian SHG's have a good cyclic rate, but are handicapped by a small, light protective which requires more kits for equivalent killing effect. (d) The Shotgun. A large bore shotgun is a most effective killing instrument as long as the range is kept under ten yards. It should normally be used only on single targets as it cannot sustain fire successfully. The barrel may be "sawed" off for convenience, but this is not a significant factor in its killing performance. Its optimum range is just out of reach of the subject. 00 buckshot is considered the best shot size for a twelve gage gun, but anything from single balls to bird shot will do if the range is right. The assassin should aim for the solar plexus as the shot pattern is small at close range and can easily penetrate the head. (e) The Pistol. While the handgun is quite inefficient as a weapon of assassination, it is often used, partly because it is readily available and can be concealed on the person, and partly because its limitations are not widely appreciated. While many well known assassinations have been carried out with pistols (Lincoln, Harding, Ghandi), such attempts fail as often as they succeed, (Truman, Roosevelt, Churchill). If a pistol is used, it should be as powerful as possible and fired from just beyond reach. The pistol and the shotgun are used in similar tactical situations, except that the shotgun is much more lethal and the pistol is much more easily concealed. In the hands of an expert, a powerful pistol is quite deadly, but such experts are rare and not usually available for assassination missions. .45 Colt, .44 Special, .455 Kly, .45 A.S.( ) (U.S. Service) and .357 Magnum are all efficient calibers. Less powerful rounds can suffice but are less reliable. Sub-power cartridges such as the .32s and .25s should be avoided.

403

In all cases, the subject should be hit solidly at least three times for complete reliability. (f) Silent Firearms The sound of the explosion of the proponent in a firearm can be effectively silenced by appropriate attachments. However, the sound of the projective passing through the air cannot, since this sound is generated outside the weapon. In cases where the velocity of the bullet greatly exceeds that of sound, the noise so generated is much louder than that of the explosion. Since all powerful rifles have muzzle velocities of over 2000 feet per second, they cannot be silenced. Pistol bullets, on the other hand, usually travel slower than sound and the sound of their flight is negligible. Therefore, pistols, submachine guns and any sort of improvised carbine or rifle which will take a low velocity cartridge can be silenced. The user should not forget that the sound of the operation of a repeating action is considerable, and that the sound of bullet strike, particularly in bone is quite loud. Silent firearms are only occasionally useful to the assassin, though they have been widely publicized in this connection. Because permissible velocity is low, effective precision range is held to about 100 yards with rifle or carbine type weapons, while with pistols, silent or otherwise, are most efficient just beyond arms length. The silent feature attempts to provide a degree of safety to the assassin, but mere possession of a silent firearm is likely to create enough hazard to counter the advantage of its silence. The silent pistol combines the disadvantages of any pistol with the added one of its obviously clandestine purpose. A telescopically sighted, closed-action carbine shooting a low velocity bullet of great weight, and built for accuracy, could be very useful to an assassin in certain situations. At the time of writing, no such weapon is known to exist. 7. Explosives. Bombs and demolition charges of various sorts have been used frequently in assassination. Such devices, in terroristic and open assassination, can provide safety and overcome guard barriers, but it is curious that bombs have often been the implement of lost assassinations. The major factor which affects reliability is the use of explosives for assassination. The charge must be very large and the detonation must be

404

controlled exactly as to time by the assassin who can observe the subject. A small or moderate explosive charge is highly unreliable as a cause of death, and time delay or booby-trap devices are extremely prone to kill the wrong man. In addition to the moral aspects of indiscriminate killing, the death of casual bystanders can often produce public reactions unfavorable to the cause for which the assassination is carried out. Bombs or grenades should never be thrown at a subject. While this will always cause a commotion and may even result in the subject's death, it is sloppy, unreliable, and bad propaganda. The charge must be too small and the assassin is never sure of: (1) reaching his attack position, (2) placing the charge close enough to the target and (3) firing the charge at the right time. Placing the charge surreptitiously in advance permits a charge of proper size to be employed, but requires accurate prediction of the subject's movements. Ten pounds of high explosive should normally be regarded as a minimum, and this is explosive of fragmentation material. The latter can consist of any hard, ( ) material as long as the fragments are large enough. Metal or rock fragments should be walnut-size rather than pensize. If solid plates are used, to be ruptured by the explosion, cast iron, 1" thick, gives excellent fragmentation. Military or commercial high explosives are practical for use in assassination. Homemade or improvised explosives should be avoided. While possibly powerful, they tend to be dangerous and unreliable. Anti-personnel explosive missiles are excellent, provided the assassin has sufficient technical knowledge to fuse them properly. 81 or 82 mm mortar shells, or the 120 mm mortar shell, are particularly good. Anti-personnel shells for 85, 88, 90, 100 and 105 mm guns and howitzers are both large enough to be completely reliable and small enough to be carried by one man. The charge should be so placed that the subject is not ever six feet from it at the moment of detonation. A large, shaped charge with the cartridge filled with iron fragments (such as 1" nuts and bolts) will fire a highly lethal shotgun-type pellet to 50 yards. This reaction has not been thoroughly tested, however, and an exact replica of the proposed device should be fired in advance to determine exact range, pattern-size, and penetration of fragments. Fragments should penetrate at lea st 1" of seasoned pine or equivalent for

405

minimum reliability. Any firing device may be used which permits exact control by the assassin. An ordinary commercial or military explorer is efficient, as long as it is rigged for instantaneous action with no time fuse in the system. The wise ( ) electric target can serve as the triggering device and provide exact timing from as far away as the assassin can reliably hit the target. This will avid the disadvantages of stringing wire together between the proposed positions of the ass assin and the subject, and also permit the assassin to fire the charge from a variety of possible positions. The radio switch can be used to fire charges, though its reliability is somewhat lower and its procurement may not be easy. EXAMPLES Trainees may be presented brief outlines, with critical evaluations of the following assassinations and attempts: Marat, Hedrich, Lincoln , Hitler, Harding, Roosevelt, Grand Duke Sergei Truman, Pirhivie, Mussolini, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, Benes, Rasputin, Aung Sang, Madero, ( ), Kirov, Abdullah, Huey Long, Ghandi, Alexander of Yugoslvia, Trotsky

Further down in this same 238 page CIA document under assessment of Operation PBSUCESS we find the following additional clues as to the interaction of USIA (US Information Agency) personnel and Guatemalan assets considered important to this particular mission: III. Friendly Assets and Potential: 2. KUFIRE: In Guatemala, the KUFIRE assets of Guatemala Station consist of one agent taken over from the FBI and of a former Spanish Republican, both of whom have access to medium-level and high-level political and personality information. There are several informants who supply virtually overt psychological intelligence. The Station has limited surveillance assets. The Station has no penetration of the PGT, government agencies, armed forces or labor unions. In Honduras, there is no CIA Station. RUFUS has an intelligence service operating from Honduras against Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras. His nets in Guatemala consist of one alleged medium-level Communist Party penetration agent; one high-level Guatemalan Army informant; and an undetermined number of loosely controlled agents and informant throughout the Armed forces and government political groups. FUFUS assets in Honduras consist of one low-level Communist Party penetration with apparent growth potential; one informant in the Guatemalan Embassy; and one Guatemalan government [Redacted]. In addition to this there are several informants in the Honduran government and police, and friends in the diplomatic corps and the Costa Rican migr group. In both Nicaragua and El Salvador RUFUS maintains resident P/As who have what appear to be fairly reliable informants in diplomatic and government circles. 3. KUGOWN In Guatemala, [Redacted] guides and supports, but does not control, the CEUA group which distributes ant-communist posters, stickers, handbills and flyleaves, and which has just begun the printing of a weekly paper called El Rebelde. This group is associated with RUFUS. In addition, the independent press, sometimes with the assistance of USIA, publishes anti-Communist material of varying quantities and qualities. The impact of these activities cannot now be measured.

It is also noted on page 30 of this document in relation to the Operational Plan laid out above that: B. Create dissension and defection within the target: Utilizing available assets and media, a program of exposing true and notional facts concerning target government and personalities will be initiated in order to create dissension within the target. An attempt will be made through black psychological warfare to create a Tito-type faction to serve as a wedge within the target. Character assassination of key target personalities will be undertaken. Defection of key personnel within the target will be undertaken rigorously in order to develop and support KUHOOK operations in establishing resistance cells. The purpose of these operations will be to weaken the discipline and cohesion of the target. D. Discredit target at home and abroad: Above operations will be expanded and exploited to discredit target within its home and abroad. KUGOWN facilities of the WHD will be utilized to disseminate above material throughout WH with the purpose of arousing Hemispheric sympathy for the people of target country and opposition to the Communist regime. [Editorial Note Known CIA Acronyms - KUHOOK CIA Negotiations/Logistics, KUGOWN CIA Propaganda, KUFIRE CIA Intelligence, WHD White House Director, WH White House] Thus, as noted in section D of this assessment, the CIA would pass on propaganda information (KUKOOK) to the Whitehouse (WH) which would ultimately be used in Congressional Speeches and picked up by the mainstream press corps. Another critical key to the governments relationship with CBS is the role of the Council on Foreign Relations and its relationship to both high ranking members of the United States Federal Government and to CBS. In Charlotte Iserbyts book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America [ISBN 978-0966707106], it is noted that:
Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of the

424

countryIt remains a fact in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by this relatively small number of personsAs civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented. [By Edward Bernays in his 1921 book Propaganda taken from The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America]

According to Iserbyt, who was a former Reagan Era Senior Policy Analyst for the U.S. Department of Education, Bernays was the nephew of known cocaine addict and absurdly narcissistically twisted psychological experimenter and apparent pervert, Sigmund Freud, and chief advisor to William Paley, Founder of Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). These men along with Secretary of War Henry Stimson, the man who initiated George Bush into Skull and Bones, were some of the early members of the Council on Foreign Relations. The CFR was founded in 1918 with the idea of being the premier philosophical group responsible for advising U.S. Presidents on issues and implications of setting and carrying out U.S. Foreign Policy. According to the CFR.org website under the sub-heading history:
Headed by Elihu Root, the secretary of state under Theodore Roosevelt and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, this select group called itself the Council on Foreign Relations. It began with 108 members, Shepardson recorded, high-ranking officers of banking, manufacturing, trading and finance companies, together with many lawyers. Its purpose was to convene dinner meetings, to make contact with distinguished foreign visitors under conditions congenial to future commerce

[Editorial Comment: Keep in mind that this was at the end of World War I and the United States was positioning itself as an emerging world power.] It is further noted that:
Perpetually renewing its membership and its mission, reaching out beyond an elite circle to help educate the entire public, the Council grew into a model that is now emulated by a host of newer research centers, in the United States and abroad. Their common challenge is to stimulate concerned citizens in their thinking about power and politics among nations.

Others however see this organization as something different, something a bit more sinister due to the peculiarities of the odd assortment of characters that have shaped the organization since its founding and the particularities of certain issues the CFR has taken on such as the perceived necessity of a One Word Order or Government, NAFTA, Free-Trade, Globalism, World Court, and a North American Union whereby the United States, Canada, and Mexico would form one giant union akin to the European Union or EU, a union which now appears to be coming apart at the seams and is currently being glued back together with counterfeit money being printed in both Europe and America at an alarming rate as the U.S. Fed and European Central Banks attempt to monetize the massive debts created by banking fraud perpetrated in the U.S. by the likes of Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan. The secrecy in which many of these policies have been developed and the deception played out with the help of the mainstream news media in selling these policies to the U.S. Public has caused a great deal of concern amongst Americans that value and demand transparency at all levels of government. One recent historical case specifically involving the CFR and the U.S. governments role in transportation policy involves the 2008 Presidential Election and the Republican Primaries when Senator Ron

426

Paul brought up the issue of the formation of a North American Union during a Prime Time Debate. A few days later several U.S. Journalists that were analyzing the debates flat out lied on national TV about the existence of a map depicting a formalized national highway system running from Mexico to Canada. These events were memorialized on several YouTUBE Videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEE3YSp1mys] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wCdULj6fOQ] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hiPrsc9g98] On the other hand, Americans are also hoodwinked by false rumors that are connected to actual facts, therefore confusion sets in and the facts are obscured by disinformation and fiction. An example of this was the notion that an Amero coin had been minted by the U.S. government. This is fiction. The coin shown on YouTube and across the internet of an Amero is a privately minted coin produced by coin designer David Carr. One may purchase them from his website at [http://www.dc-coin.com] by clicking on the world trade coin link in the left hand column of his homepage. Most of his coins sell out soon after being minted as he mints them in limited quantities. Carr was the designer for the New York and Rhode Island State Quarter. During the Bush administration, the private issue coins were connected to the actual fact of policy makers pushing for a three nation alliance with Mexico and Canada. The coins were a mere suggestion that took on urban legend status. The maps and push for one big union are real ideas that are actually on the minds of globalists living on the North American Continent.

Task Force Urges Measures to Strengthen North American Competitiveness, Expand Trade, Ensure Border Security May 17, 2005 Council on Foreign Relations May 17, 2005--North America is vulnerable on several fronts: the region faces terrorist and criminal security threats, increased economic competition from abroad, and uneven economic development at home. In response to these challenges, a trinational, Independent Task Force on the Future of North America has developed a roadmap to promote North American security and advance the well-being of citizens of all three countries. When the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States met in Texas recently they underscored the deep ties and shared principles of the three countries. The Council-sponsored Task Force applauds the announced "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America," but proposes a more ambitious vision of a new community by 2010 and specific recommendations on how to achieve it. Pointing to increased competition from the European Union and rising economic powers such as India and China in the eleven years since NAFTA took effect, co-chair Pedro C. Aspe, former Finance Minister of Mexico, said, "We need a vision for North America to address the new challenges." The Task Force establishes a blueprint for a powerhouse North American trading area that allows for the seamless movement of goods, increased labor mobility, and energy security. "We are asking the leaders of the United States, Mexico, and Canada to be bold and adopt a vision of the future that is bigger than, and beyond, the immediate problems of the present," said co-chair John P. Manley, Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. "They could be the architects of a new community of North America, not mere custodians of the status quo." At a time of political transition in Canada and Mexico, the Task Force proposes new ideas to cope with continental challenges that should be the focus of debate in those two countries as well as the United States. To ensure a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America, the Task Force proposes a number of specific measures:

428

Make North America safer: Establish a common security perimeter by 2010. Develop a North American Border Pass with biometric identifiers. Develop a unified border action plan and expand border customs facilities. Create a single economic space: Adopt a common external tariff. Allow for the seamless movement of goods within North America. Move to full labor mobility between Canada and the U.S. Develop a North American energy strategy that gives greater emphasis to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases -- a regional alternative to Kyoto. Review those sectors of NAFTA that were excluded. Develop and implement a North American regulatory plan that would include "open skies and open roads" and a unified approach for protecting consumers on food, health, and the environment. Expand temporary worker programs and create a "North American preference" for immigration for citizens of North America. Spread benefits more evenly: Establish a North American Investment Fund to build infrastructure to connect Mexico's poorer regions in the south to the market to the north. Restructure and reform Mexico's public finances. Fully develop Mexican energy resources to make greater use of international technology and capital.

Institutionalize the partnership: Establish a permanent tribunal for trade and investment disputes. Convene an annual North American summit meeting. Establish a Tri-national Competition Commission to develop a common approach to trade remedies. Expand scholarships to study in the three countries and develop a network of Centers for North American Studies.

Co-chair William F. Weld, former Governor of Massachusetts and U.S. Assistant Attorney General, said, "We are three liberal democracies; we are adjacent; we are already intertwined economically; we have a great deal in common historically; culturally, we have a lot to learn from one another." Organized in association with the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales and the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, the Task Force includes prominent former officials, businessmen, and academic experts from all three countries. A Chairmen's Statement was released in March in advance of the trinational summit; the full report represents the consensus of the entire Task Force membership and leadership. Chief Executive of the Canadian Council of Chief ExecutivesThomas d'Aquino, President of the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales Andrs Rozental, and Director of the Center for North American Studies at American University Robert A. Pastor serve as vice chairs.Chappell H. Lawson, Associate Professor of political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is director. Building a North American Community: Report of the Independent Task Force on the Future of North America is available on the Council website. Founded in 1921, theCouncil on Foreign Relations is an independent, national membership organization and a nonpartisan center for scholars dedicated to producing and disseminating ideas so that individual and corporate members, as well as policymakers, journalists, students, and interested citizens in the United States and other countries, can better understand the world and the foreign policy choices facing the United States and other governments. The Mexican Council on Foreign Relations (COMEXI) is the only multidisciplinary organization committed to fostering sophisticated, broadly inclusive political discourse and analysis on the nature of Mexico's participation in the international arena and the relative influence of Mexico's increasingly global orientation on domestic priorities. The Council is an independent, non-profit, pluralistic forum, with no government or institutional ties that is financed exclusively by membership dues and corporate support. The main objectives of COMEXI are to provide information and analysis of interest to our associates, as well as to create a solid institutional framework for the exchange of ideas concerning pressing world issues that affect our country.

430

Founded in 1976, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives is Canada's premier business association, with an outstanding record of achievement in matching entrepreneurial initiative with sound public policy choices. A not-for-profit, non-partisan organization composed of the chief executives of 150 leading Canadian enterprises, the CCCE was the Canadian private sector leader in the development and promotion of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement during the 1980s and of the subsequent trilateral North American Free Trade Agreement.

The CFR task force is not the only group pushing this issue. From personal experience due my geographical location, I can attest that Ron Paul and the so-called conspiracy theorists, to include CNNs Lou Dobbs who exposed the North American Union were on the mark because I had personally been handed a brochure back in 2008 from a powerful economic development group known as Codefront that depicts a transnational transportation corridor spanning Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. This group, headquartered in the State of Nuevo Leon, Mexico has attempted to persuade the Laredo, Texas City Council to obtain the permits and construct a rail bridge miles outside of the central city structure of Laredo that would abut a narrow strip of land belonging to the State of Nuevo Leon. This narrow strip of land was negotiated years ago by a very astute Mexican politician who wanted to ensure the State of Nuevo Leon had access to the border of the United States. Most of the Mexican border connecting to the United States lies in the state of Tamaulipas which includes the City of Nuevo Laredo, or the twin city of Laredo, Texas. According to a January 2009 Border Commerce Coordinator report published by the Texas Secretary of State and the Border Commerce Coordinator, Esperanza Hope Andrade:
Port of Corpus Christi officials met three times in 2007 with representatives of CODEFRONT, the Corporation for the Development of the Nuevo Len Border Region, to plan ways to expedite Texas exports to Mexico at the LaredoColumbia Solidarity Bridge.

Among the duties of the Border Commerce Coordinator as spelled out in the Texas Government Code is the following: (1) Examining trade issues between the United States, Mexico, and Canada This is a rather broad directive which leaves room for a lot back parlor negotiating that may not sit well with the Texans or the national electorate for that matter which has proved to be the case in Texas where the proposed Texas Section of the superhighway otherwise known as the I-35 Corridor was hands-down hammered out of existence by a massive grass roots effort taken up by ranchers and land owners. The resistance here in Laredo to the placement of a rail bridge has not only come from Laredoans leery about the Laredo business establighment being by-passed to the benefit of San Antonio, but also by the owners of the railroad itself, Kansas City Southern, who in my

433

estimation has grown weary of dealing with corrupt Laredo Politicians. Kansas City Southern has since basically informed Laredo officials they will build when and where it suits them. The following is a document link dealing with Codefront and the U.S. Government Federal Highway Administration: [http://www.borderplanning.fhwa.dot.gov/mm_12-2-08.asp] The next link is to the best blog in Texas that has done a fantastic job following the Texas view of the Trans-Texas Corridor section of this proposed super highway into Canada: [http://corridornews.blogspot.com/] The Council on Foreign Relations has been formulating the underpinnings of such tri-national transportation and economic policies for many years. In a 2005 Report entitled Building a North American Community; Report of an Independent Task Force:
The security and well-being of its citizens are at the pinnacle of any governments responsibilities. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the futures of Canada, Mexico, and the United States are shared as never before. As a result, all three countries face a historic challenge: Do they continue on the path of cooperation in promoting more secure and more prosperous North American societies, or do they pursue divergent and ultimately less secure and less prosperous courses? To ask the question is to answer it; and yet, if important decisions are not pursued and implemented, the three countries may well find themselves on divergent paths. Such a development would be a tragic mistake, one that can be readily avoided if they stay the course and pursue a series of deliberate and cooperative steps that will enhance both the security and prosperity of their citizens. At their meeting in Waco, Texas, at the end of March 2005, U.S. President George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin committed their governments to a path of cooperation and joint action. We welcome this important development and offer this report to add urgency and specific recommendations to strengthen their efforts.

The next quote from this report is the one that should give all patriotic Americans pause and question just for what reasons and to whom we are negotiating away our national sovereignty in the so-called name of progress:
As liberal democracies, the governments also share common principles: protecting individual rights, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring equality of opportunity for their citizens. North America, in short, is more than an expression of geography. It is a partnership of sovereign states with overlapping economic and security interests, where major developments in one country can and do have a powerful impact on the other two.

434

More than a decade ago NAFTA took effect, liberalizing trade and investment, providing crucial protection for intellectual property, creating pioneering dispute-resolution mechanisms, and establishing the first regional devices to safeguard labor and environmental standards. NAFTA helped unlock the regions economic potential and demonstrated that nations at different levels of development can prosper from the opportunities created by reciprocal free trade arrangements. Since then, however, global commercial competition has grown more intense and international terrorism has emerged as a serious regional and global danger. Deepening ties among the three countries of North America promise continued benefits for Canada, Mexico, and the United States. That said, the trajectory toward a more integrated and prosperous North America is neither inevitable nor irreversible. In March 2005, the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States adopted a Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), establishing ministerial-level working groups to address key security and economic issues facing North America and setting a short deadline for reporting progress back to their governments. President Bush described the significance of the SPP as putting forward a common commitment to markets and democracy, freedom and trade, and mutual prosperity and security. The policy framework articulated by the three leaders is a significant commitment that will benefit from broad discussion and advice. The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the partnership can be pursued and realized. To that end, the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders that our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary. Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America.

One might be inclined to ask what the connection is between the NAFTA, the SPP, the TSA, and a Yemeni based false flag operation. The answer has to do with the context of both the aforementioned CFR report and that of the current reports coming out of the TSA and major news organizations that being they are all based on the psychological warfare operations principle of instilling fear in a population so in a moment of chaos, rapid change may be implemented before the last honest-to-Godfearing patriots in the nation have time to grab their shotguns. Notice that in the CFR report, the case is made that security threats are a major driving force for the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to join forces. Notice also that the protocol adopted is called the SPP or Security and Prosperity Partnership. For such a plan to succeed, the powers that be will first need to convince the general public that we are under some dire security threat that requires the three nations to band together. You will find this same argument now being used by the TSA as it pushes forward the implementation of an intrusive full body scan and pat down policy at major U.S. airports. This brings us to the point of fact that the mainstream media has not changed much from the days that CBS Chief Paley became a founding

435

father of the CFR, and through decades of cross-bred relationships, CBS can be counted on to do the CFRs bidding so to speak. The following CBS personnel have been members of the CFR: Katie Couric, Dan Rather, Lesley Stahl, Edward R. Bradley, Martha Teichner, Marquita Pool-Eckert, Marshall Loeb, Lowell A. Bergman, George Crile III, Neeraj Khemlani, Barbara Cochran, Charles Collingwood, Marlene Sanders, David A. Andelman, Joseph A. Califano Jr., and William S. Bill Cohen
[http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/CFRMedia.html] [http://www.cfr.org/content/about/annual_report/ar_2010/Membership_Roste r2010.pdf]

In chapter two the reader will learn just how quickly CBS was able to cobble together an amateurish-looking cover-story to meet the Obama Administrations perceived need to hood-wink the American public into buying into the implementation of the Transportation Safety Administrations (TSA) full-body x-rays and pat-down, and the surrender of their constitutional rights. Read carefully the descriptions of the propaganda that was deployed throughout the broadcast, especially the symbols of terrorism and of a photo of an American citizen that President Obama and the Zionists embedded into the broadcast. The Middle Eastern and Near Eastern Departments of the State Department decided to alleviate this man of his civil rights, elevate him to terrorist status, and then subsequently murdered him with a U.S. manufactured drone from upon high with G-d, while over Yemeni airspace. The Obama Administration, much like the Bush Administration, believes that America must have an enemy and that enemy must have a face for popular news consumption by the American people, even though the Director of National Intelligence clearly states that the current threat from al Qaeda and Iran is minimal. I assert that until Netanyahu gets his pound of flesh in Iran, we will continue to see various characters elevated to super-terrorist in order to convince the American public that we indeed have an enemy. Let me make a couple of things perfectly clear before we go any further. Im a U.S. Citizen, and a USAF veteran. I believe in the following: a law abiding civil society, the U.S. Post Office, Social Security, the necessity of removing insurance companies from the health care equation, the National Park System, the necessity of abolishing the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Reserve System, legalized whiskey, fishing, squirrel hunting, the small American farmer, the U.S. Constitution to include the Bill of Rights and other amendments, the unspoken obligation of Dick Cheney, Richard Perle, Paul Frum, Douglas Feith, Elliot Abrams, Robert Woolsey, John Bolton, and Paul Wolfowitz to visit disabled war vets once a week and to be on hand at all military

436

funerals, and my Thomas Jefferson given inalienable rights as outlined in the Declaration of Independence to include Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, not necessarily in that order. I support both our veterans and troops on the ground, because I fully understand why our government grabs them youngbefore they become aware that they may be used as tools of aggression in a U.S. foreign policy that has run amuck and become increasingly out of touch with core American values and has in fact become downright unAmerican like. However, like millions of other Americans, I do not support the Zionist policy of pre-emptive strike, and I implore the reader to have no doubt about it; George W. Bush did not cook the policy up on his own, and I suspect as he now sits and reflects over his evening whiskey up in Preston Hollow, that he most likely does a good bit of praying and asking God for forgiveness for taking America down the wrong path.

Wolfowitz as God

Verily Verily, I say unto ye, after we have mopped up in the Middle East, the Far East is next.
His Zionist handlers came up with the policy that is indisputable. Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld, along with their Zionist allies listed above, and others that are currently taking up freedoms space over at the U.S. State Department are responsible for this policy which is as a matter of fact illegal under international law for dozens of reasons and despicable to the collective American conscious. It is time for the citizens of the United States to stand up and demand changes be implemented at the state department. It is time to

437

demand the removal of the unbalanced Zionist anathema that has infiltrated it. If Americans only knew half the personal character history a few of the characters that have been making U.S Foreign Policy, they would immediately disengage both the Democratic and the Republican political parties and demand a new party be built from the ground up. For example, Richard Perle, who was Assistant Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan, has committed countless what might be deemed un-American offenses. They are adequately enumerated in Wikipedia, so I will use their complete citation to make this point:

Photo of Pearl

Israeli Spy
Wikipedia: Richard Perle Bribery Accusations and Alleged Conflicts of Interest Perle has on occasion been accused of being an Israeli agent of influence. It has been reported that, while he was working for Jackson, "An FBI summary of a 1970 wiretap recorded Perle discussing classified information with someone at the Israeli embassy," writes Paul Findley (They Dare To Speak Out, Chicago, Ill, Lawrence Hill Books 1989)."He came under fire in 1983 when newspapers reported he received substantial payments to represent the interests of an Israeli weapons company. Perle denied conflict of interest, insisting that, although he received payment for these services after he had assumed his position in the Defense Department, he was between government jobs when he worked for the Israeli firm." From 1981 to 1987, Perle was Assistant Secretary of Defense for international security policy in the Reagan administration. In a New York Times article Perle was criticized for recommending that the Army

438

purchase an armaments system from an Israeli company that a year earlier had paid him $50,000 in consulting fees. Perle acknowledged receiving the payment the same month he joined the Reagan administration, but said the payment was for work done before joining the government and that he had informed the Army of this prior consulting work. Perle was never indicted for anything related to the incident. (New York Times, 17 April 1983, "Aide Urged Pentagon to Consider Weapons Made by Former Client", Jeff Gerth. See also New York Times, 21 April 1983, "On buying weapons and influence", Editorial.). In March 2004, another New York Times article reported that, while chairman of the Defense Policy Board, Perle had contracted with the troubled telecommunications giant Global Crossing to help overcome opposition from the FBI and the Pentagon to the sale of its assets to Hong-Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa. Since the military employed the company's fiber optics network for communications, the brass argued that sale to a foreign-owned, especially Chinese, corporation would compromise national security. Perle was to be paid $125,000 to promote the deal, with an extra $600,000 contingent fee on its approval.[16] This controversy led to accusations of bribery, and Perle resigned as chairman on March 27, 2003, though he remained on the board.[17] Perle is also known to have demanded payment for press interviews[18] while he was the chairman of the Defense Policy Board, a practice that has raised accusations of not only ethical, but legal impropriety.[19] 16.)

And thats not all. Not only did Richard Perle dishonor his service to America by committing the aforementioned offenses, but he was also implicated in another multi-million dollar fleecing of a U.S. public corporation back in 2004. According to Washington Post entitled Report Details Kleptocracy at Newspaper written by Frank Ahrens and published on September 4th, 2004, Section A01:
Press tycoon Conrad M. Black and other top Hollinger International Inc. officials pocketed more than $400 million in company money over seven years and Black's handpicked board of directors passively approved many of the transactions, a company investigation concluded. A report by a special board committee singled out director Richard N. Perle, a former Defense Department official, who received $5.4 million in bonuses and compensation. The report said Perle should return the money to the Chicago company.
[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50704-2004Aug31.html]

In this case, it was not the Washington Post calling the management of the company a Kleptocracy; it was the United States Government and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the findings of the investigation into the looting of the Hollinger Corporation the following is noted about Richard Perle:
12. Richard Perle 12.1 Perle repeatedly breached his fiduciary duties as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board. Perle repeatedly signed Unanimous Written Consents without evaluating (or even reading) them, including several that authorized many of the unfair related-party transactions discussed in this Report in a manner that enabled Black and Radler to evade full (or any) disclosure to the Audit Committee or the Board. These include: (i) Hollingers September 1997 loan of $42.5 million to HLG on unfair terms; (ii) the subordination of Hollingers seller- financing of the July 2000 Bradford transaction, and Hollingers guarantee of Bradfords bank loan for that transaction; (ii) the September 2000 transfer to Horizon of Hollingers valuable Bishop and Blackfoot properties; and (iv) the January 2002 improper interest rate reduction from 13% to 90-day LIBOR + 3% (i.e., approximately 5%) on Hollingers $36.8 million loan to HLG. Those transactions alone have to date resulted in well over $10 million in losses to Hollinger.

440

Perles abject failure to fulfill his fiduciary duties as an Executive Committee member subjects him to personal liability for breaching his duty of good faith. 12.2 As Perle knew, he was not an independent Board member, but instead was beholden to Black and other insiders for his compensation. During his tenure as an Executive Committee member, Perle received more than $3 million in bonuses under the Digital Incentive Plan, as well as hundreds of thousands more in Digital and Hollinger compensation. Perle therefore had a motive to abdicate his fiduciary duties as an Executive Committee member so as to accommodate Black and Radler, two of the three members of the Digital compensation committee, which administered the Digital Incentive Plan. 12.3 By putting his own interests above those of Hollingers shareholders, Perle has violated his duties of good faith and loyalty. As a faithless fiduciary, Perle should be required to disgorge all compensation he received from the Company.

Now you have to ask yourself just one question as an American: Is this the character of a man that you wish to have advising your President on going to war? The Richard Perles of the world have been put on notice by the American people. We are watching you closely. This is America, not Israel, and it is time the U.S. Department of State learned the difference. By the way, how can we have a ratio of 30% Jews in the State Department when they make up less that 2% of the U.S population? Oh, so you wish to claim religious discrimination based on that statement do ya? But I thought the word Jew meant culture and race. You see how confused you have me? By the way, what happened to affirmative action? As was pointed out in James Clappers intelligence assessment, Iran is not a threat and currently has no nuclear weapons ambitions. How quickly many Americans seem to have forgotten how George W. Bush hoodwinked the nation into going to war with Iraq over bogus intelligence reports. We are presently faced with an identical scenario, only this time, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is the front man. According to veteran reporter Robert Naiman in a piece he wrote for The Huffington Post entitled The U.S. and Iran Are Talking. Why Is the New

York Times Peddling Iran Islamophobia? which was published on April 19th, 2012:

At long last, the United States and Iran are engaged in serious talks about Iran's nuclear program. But instead of celebrating the fact that President Obama is keeping his promise to the people who voted for him to pursue diplomatic engagement with Iran, the New York Times has suggested to its readers that Iran's Supreme Leader is uniquely and intrinsically untrustworthy when he says that Iran will never pursue a nuclear weapon. Why? Because, according to the Times, Iran's leaders are Shiites, and Shiites have a religious doctrine called "taqiyya," which allows them to lie. No scholar or analyst was cited by the New York Times in support of this argument, which should have been a red flag for Times editors for an argument claiming that the leadership of a country against which the United States has threatened war is essentially different from us because they belong to a different religion.

The hypocrisy of the New York Times Zionists statements is glaring. I wonder what they call Israeli lies, like their ongoing denial of having nuclear weapons at their Dimona facility. Matter of fact, why havent Israels nuclear facilities been discussed as part of the ongoing conversation about Irans nuclear ambitions?

Point of Conspiracy: The Fix is In
On the evening of October 29th, 2010, Katie Couric of CBS appeared on TV and laid out a fantastical plot against U.S. transportation assets and Chicago Synagogues. What follows is a complete transcript of that broadcast taken by my hand: TEASER: Couric: Tonight, the President calls it [Cut away to White House briefing with President Obama] Obama: A Credible terrorist threat against our country [Back to Katie Couric] Couric: Two packages from Yemen addressed to Chicago Synagogues Obama: They do apparently contain explosive material FULL BROADCAST: Couric: Good Evening Every One: Once again terrorists have tried to strike the United States in what President Obama calls a credible terror threat two packages containing explosives addressed to Synagogues in Chicago but acting on a tip from the Saudis, authorities intercepted them today, one aboard a cargo plane in England the other aboard a cargo plane in Dubai. Both packages were sent from the same address in Yemen Our justice correspondent Bob Orr in Washington is following this still developing story and Bob there was some thought initially that this was an attempt to test the system Orr: Well Katie, US Officials now increasingly believe it was a real attempt to do real harm and there is little doubt in anyones minds that the two potential bombs found on US bound cargo jets were the handiwork of a Yemen based terror group thats tried to hit us before [Cutaway to fade in shot of still photo of SANAA INTL AIRPORT in Yemen]

[Cutaway to footage airport ramp in Detroit and PA] Orr: continues - The discovery of the devices overseas led authorities to quarantine and searches of 3 UPS cargo planes which arrived today in Philadelphia and Newark sources say officials were on the lookout for 10 to 20 packages that were shipped from Yemen at about the same time as the apparent bombs. Nothing dangerous was found. But the scare sent security forces scrambling on multiple fronts In New York City the police pulled over a UPS truck and late today, fighter jets escorted a passenger jet inbound from New York from Dubai thought to be carrying packages from Yemen. Searches of the truck and the passenger plane revealed no new dangers. [Cutaway to picture of circuit board with TERROR THREAT graphic and words Designed to explode?] Orr: continues Officials do not know if the devices found in England and Dubai were designed to explode in the air or if that needed to detonated by a person on the ground presumably once they arrived in Chicago.

Chapter 2
Historical U.S. False Flag Operations; Gulf of Tonkin Incident
To think ones government might engage in a false flag operation may be disconcerting to some, and even unbelievable to others, while many would relegate such notions to the realm of so-called conspiracy theorists. But our history books paint a very real and different picture. The two most notable historical events that come to mind are the sinking of the battleship Maine on February 15th, 1898 off the coast of Cuba which ultimately led to the Spanish-American War and the Gulf of Tonkin Incident that led to an increased American presence in Vietnam. Although never officially acknowledged, the sinking of the battleship Maine which was blamed on Spain at the time but has since been recognized by reputable engineers as most likely being a magazine explosion set off by burning coal and not an underwater mine. In both cases, foreign governments (Flags) were blamed for the incidents. We will explore the Tonkin Gulf Incident in some detail as more accurate and timely information is readily available as compared to the Maine explosion. Gulf of Tonkin Case Study In The Miami News May 2, 1954 Edition in an article written by Joseph and Stewart Alsop entitled Carriers In Gulf of Tonkin, Ready For Action, If Ordered, the early stages of U.S. Involvement in Vietnam are being set. This article was written during the critical last days of the French Armys last heroic stand and utter annihilation at Dien Bein Phu. A force of American carriers has been on station in the Gulf of Tonkin, within convenient striking range, since the critical Indochinese battle of Dien Bien Phu began to move towards its climax. It will probably be officially denied, but the carriers were of course ordered to the scene for use if need be. They are there to provide immediate air support for Dien Bien Phus defenders, if they are ordered to do so by the President and the National Security Council. The article notes that perhaps it is too late for a pre-emptive massive American air intervention and that The heroic force of Gen. Christian de Castries now holds a diminished fortress less than one square mile in area.

451

U.S. Air intervention never materialized and our World War II allies, the French forces were slaughtered on that last square mile of ground. Meanwhile, the bickering over the constitutionality of intervention was in full swing back in Washington. According to the Alsop article: Official reports have warned the American policy makers that a defeat at Dien Bien Phu will be a psychological blow to the French, causing them to want to end the Indochinese war at all costs. What is means to us: Because of the peculiar political-military pattern in Indochina, any kind of compromise settlement by partition of otherwise will certainly be fatal. If the French buy a compromise, the whole of Indochina must eventually fall into Communist hands. The President an National Security Council long ago agreed that the loss of Indochina would surely be followed by the eventual loss to Communism of all the rest of Asia. After Indochina goes, there is nowhere in Asia to draw a defensible line. During the historical time frame of Joseph Alsops article, major newsmen of the day played an increasingly important role in the U.S. governments information management during wartime. Newsmen like the Alsop brothers were well known and expressed their political views on the record. Although Stewart Alsop characterized himself and Joseph as New Deal Liberals [paraphrased - see Editorial Note that follows] it was well known at the time that Joseph supported U.S. intervention in Vietnam. This was also the era of Cold War spying and deception; the days when the Soviet Union used blackmail as a political tool, often taking explicit videos of U.S. Politicians, and other personalities such as newsmen in precarious situations that could be used to trade for information with the West. According to a previously quoted article by Carl Bernstein that appeared in the Rolling Stone magazine on October 20th, 1977: In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of America's leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA. Bernstein also pointed out the Joseph Alsops brother Stewart had a much more intimate relationship with the CIA.

452

Stewart Alsops relationship with the Agency was much more extensive than Sulzbergers. One official who served at the highest levels in the CIA said flatly: Stew Alsop was a CIA agent. An equally senior official refused to define Alsops relationship with the Agency except to say it was a formal one. Other sources said that Alsop was particularly helpful to the Agency in discussions with, officials of foreign governmentsasking questions to which the CIA was seeking answers, planting misinformation advantageous to American policy, assessing opportunities for CIA recruitment of well-placed foreigners. Absolute nonsense, said Joseph Alsop of the notion that his brother was a CIA agent. I was closer to the Agency than Stew was, though Stew was very close. I dare say he did perform some taskshe just did the correct thing as an American.... The Founding Fathers [of the CIA] were close personal friends of ours. Dick Bissell [former CIA deputy director] was my oldest friend, from childhood. It was a social thing, my dear fellow. I never received a dollar, I never signed a secrecy agreement. I didnt have to.... Ive done things for them when I thought they were the right thing to do. I call it doing my duty as a citizen. Alsop is willing to discuss on the record only two of the tasks he undertook: a visit to Laos in 1952 at the behest of Frank Wisner, who felt other American reporters were using anti-American sources about uprisings there; and a visit to the Philippines in 1953 when the CIA thought his presence there might affect the outcome of an election. Des Fitzgerald urged me to go, Alsop recalled. It would be less likely that the election could be stolen [by the opponents of Ramon Magsaysay] if the eyes of the world were on them. I stayed with the ambassador and wrote about what happened. Alsop maintains that he was never manipulated by the Agency. You cant get entangled so they have leverage on you, he said. But what I wrote was true. My view was to get the facts. If someone in the Agency was wrong, I stopped talking to themtheyd given me phony goods. On one occasion, Alsop said, Richard Helms authorized the head of the Agencys analytical branch to provide Alsop with information on Soviet military presence along the Chinese border. The analytical side of the Agency had been dead wrong about the war in Vietnamthey thought it couldnt be won, said Alsop. And they were wrong on the Soviet buildup. I stopped talking to them. Today, he says, People in our business would be outraged at the kinds of suggestions that were made to me. They shouldnt be. The CIA did not open itself at all to people it did not trust. Stew and I were trusted, and Im proud of it.

453

It was also the era of McCarthyism where anyone thought to be affiliated with the Communist Party or where homosexuals were often faced with humiliating open Congress interrogations and public embarrassment. A book by David K. Johnson entitle The Lavender Scare; The Cold War Persecution of Gays and Lesbians in the Federal Government published by the University of Chicago Press in 2004 [ISBN 9780226404813] explores these issues. In a University of Chicago Press interview with the author the following question was asked and what follows is a response that sums up the attitude towards gays and lesbians during this time frame. Question: Why were homosexuals considered a threat to national security? Johnson: The politicians behind the Lavender Scare asserted that homosexuals were susceptible to blackmail by enemy agents and so could be coerced into revealing government secrets. In other words, the official rationale wasn't that homosexuals were communists but that they could be used by communists. A Senate subcommittee spent months investigating this claim and came up empty-handed. They found no evidence that even a single gay or lesbian American civil servant had ever been blackmailed into revealing state secrets. The only proof they offered was the well-known case of Colonel Alfred Redl, an Austrian double agent who was exposed just before World War I. Nevertheless, the subcommittee's final report stated emphatically that homosexuals posed a threat to national security and called for their removal from all federal agencies.

Syndicated columnist Joseph Alsop was subjected to the government witch-hunt as he was a known homosexual around Washington circles and it was revealed by the Soviet Union that they had photos of Alsop engaged in homosexual acts. At one point during the Johnson Administration, Alsop thought the Lyndon B. Johnson was tapping his phones: LBJ Library Audio Recording - Citation No.: 7185 Tape: WH6503.15 Program No.: 5 Length: 5:56 Speaker: Nicholas Katzenbach, Date 03/30/1965, Time 10:03A, Place MANSION, LBJ (Y/N)?

About the same time as Joseph Alsop is expressing his fears of a White House ordered phone tap, we find President Johnson suggesting that to McGeorge Bundy his National Security advisor that Alsop may wish to speak with Senator Fulbright on the topic of Vietnam.

Joseph Alsop and reporters of the day counted heavily on relationships with club members and contacts to provide the leaks that eventually made headline news in the cozy world of political journalism as related to Washington politics. From a transcript of a speech delivered to the Council on Foreign Relations on November 30th, 2010 in their National History Center Series: Presidents and the Lure of War, Speaker Evan W. Thomas, Editor-At-Large of Newsweek makes the following point to Presider Douglas G. Brinkley, Editor-At-Large, Newsweek; and apparently co-author with Thomas on a book entitled The War Lovers: Roosevelt, Lodge, Hearst, and The Rush to Empire, 1898 that reflects how Joseph Alsop operated as a journalist during the 1950s. BRINKLEY: Most of you, I'm sure, know, but Evan wrote the book "The Wise Men" with Walter Isaacson, which -- about six friends and the world they made. Lovett and Kennan and Chip Bohlen and McCloy -you know, I'm forgetting one or two there, but the -- Harriman -- but the -- that group, the wise men, became -- so your book became so popular. Is there a group of wise men today in the United States that

455

President Obama's relying or listening to? Or is that a tradition that is fading from our American scene? THOMAS: Well, a couple of thoughts on that. My short answer is no, I don't see any sign of a wise man around, which is too bad. I don't think he's getting much good advice on, certainly, big-picture things. But the world has changed so much. The wise men really couldn't exist today, because in 1946, 47, there was no national-security staff. It didn't exist. It was mostly -- you know, it might be Clark Clifford having breakfast with James Forrestal at the F Street Club. I mean, that's -- that -- there was no staff. I mean, it was -- it was such a(n) intimate, small-scale thing that you could have these strong figures who knew each other, who got along with each other, who had a great sense of public service and who didn't leak and who didn't play games. I was just reading about Bobby Cutler (sp), somebody you -- I'm not sure you've even ever heard of Bobby Cutler (sp). He was Eisenhower's national security assistant, the Mac Bundy job. And he really -- and Ike said to him, you know, loose lips sink ships. Clam up. And Cutler (sp) didn't speak to anybody at all, ever. Joe Alsop couldn't believe it. They'd been Porcellian Club buddies together, and Alsop comes to see Cutler and says, well, surely you're going to leak to me. And Cutler (sp) says, no, I'm not going to speak to you ever again. And Alsop trashed him for the next four years in his columns, but Cutler (sp) was doing the principled thing.
http://www.cfr.org/publication/23561/national_history_center_series.html?cid =rssdefense_homelandsecuritynational_history_center_series-113010] [Editorial Note on Joseph and Stewart Alsop taken from NPS Website for Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, Hyde Park, New York] Joseph Alsop, born in 1910, was the older brother of Stewart Alsop, born in 1914, both of whom would come to be known for their work as political journalists for the New York Herald Tribune, the Saturday Evening Post, and Newsweek. Their mother, Corinne Robinson Alsop, was Eleanor Roosevelt's first cousin, and the Alsops maintained a relationship with the first lady until her death in 1962, despite sometimes breaking with her publicly on issues of policy, or even on issues of fashion and taste. After graduating from Harvard, Joseph joined the New York Herald Tribune's Washington bureau as a reporter where he remained through the war. His brother, on the other hand, worked in publishing following the completion of his studies at Yale and in 1944 joined the Office of Strategic Services. Joseph and Stewart partnered after the war to produce their famous "Matter of Fact" column, which they wrote jointly from 1946 to 1958. It was during this period that the Alsop brothers earned the recognition and level of circulation (at one point their column was the most heavily syndicated in the

456

United States) that made them, alongside other notables like Walter Lippmann, two of the most important political newspapermen of the twentieth century. Although Stewart left the New York Herald Tribune for the more liberal Saturday Evening Post and then for Newsweek, his brother continued to produce the syndicated opinion column. While Stewart was more liberal than Joseph, he nonetheless characterized both of them as "New Deal liberals," despite Joseph's affiliation with the Republican party and his support for conservative foreign policies, including the war in Vietnam.

Explaining the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, the U.S. National Security Agency claimed a naval battle had ensued on August 4th, 1964 that engaged the battleship Maddox. The NSA later retracted their statement claiming the only real incident that had happened was on August 2nd, in which the Maddox engaged three North Vietnamese Patrol boats. What makes this incident a False Flag Operation is the fact that the North Vietnamese were blamed for an act of aggression that they did not commit and U.S. Foreign Policy towards Vietnam was shaped around this nonexistent-event. At the time of the incident, South Vietnamese military were running covert operations deep into North Vietnam gathering intelligence and destroying specific military and economic targets. The U.S. deployed Destroyers were basically running cover for these operations under a highly classified program known as Op Plan 34A. The 34A designation in NSAM 314 below refers to this Top Secret covert operation being conducted by South Vietnamese under Operational Plan 34A against North Vietnam. The plan was cooked up by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 1961 and then transferred over to the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (SOG) which was an operation unit for unconventional warfare run by the Pentagon. The following State Department Cable offers some clues as to the progress of the program by the time President Johnson put Rolling Thunder into action, the B-52 carpet bombing operation that escalated the war after the passage of the Tokin Gulf Resolution based on the Gulf of Tonkin Incident.

GP-1 BT Hamiltondon? EXDISpenSS TOP SECRET APPROVED FOR RELEASE 19 JUL 1997 By 1966, the CIA had assessed the Rolling Thunder program as a failure, that the United States was not achieving a good return on its investment in men, materials and economic devastation to the enemy. The following is the synopsis of a November 1966 CIA Intelligence Memorandum entitled The Effectiveness of the Rolling Thunder Program in North Vietnam 1 January 30 September 1966. Had the average Joe read this briefing in 1966, he might have come to the conclusion that it was high time for the United States to get the hell out of Vietnam. The Effectiveness of the Rolling Thunder Program in North Vietnam 1 January-30 September 1966 Directorate of Intelligence Approved for Release Jul 2000 Handle via Comint Channels TOP SECRET TRINE The Rolling Thunder air offensive against North Vietnam has been accelerated sharply in 1966, compared with operation in 1965. The 59,000 attack sorties flown in the first nine months of 1966 against targets in North Vietnam were abou 2.3 times the ordnance delivered on targets in 1965. The 1966 air operations have also been carried out more efficiently than the 1965 campaign. The average bomb lad per attack sortie has increased, and the rate of aircraft losses has been some 58 percent of the 1965 rate.

459

In spite of these improvements, it is estimated that the cost effectiveness of the air campaign diminished in 1966. The direct operating cost of inflicting a dollars worth of damage in North Vietnam has increased by about 28 percent...from an estimated $6.80 in 1965 to about $8.70 in 1966. The major determinants of this decrease in cost effectiveness have been the far greater proportion of attack sorties accounted for by armed reconnaissance strikes (as opposed to initial strikes on fixed targets) and the geographic concentration of the air effort against logistic targets in the southern areas of North Vietnam, principally Military Region IV. By the end of 1965, a growing scarcity of fruitful fixed targets outside of sanctuary areas, as well as other operational restrictions virtually forced a continually increasing emphasis on armed reconnaissance. This trend was temporarily interrupted by the strikes against petroleum storage installations, which began late in June 1966. Strike sorties against JCS fixed-target systems dropped more than 30 percent of the total sorties flown in 1965 to less than 3 percent in 1966. Armed reconnaissance sorties increased by over 230 percent, from about 17,300 sorties in 1965 to 57,300 in 1966. Almost two-thirds of these..37,000 sorties..were directed at the southernmost areas of North Vietnam, the Panhandle section south of Vinh. The air campaign over Laos shows similar emphasis on the attempted interdiction of the infiltration network into South Vietnam. Attack sorties flown under the Barrel Roll and Steel Tiger programs increased from 11,000 sorties in 1965 to about 38,000 during the first nine months of 1966. Ninety-five percent of the attack sorties flown in Laos in 1966 were on armed reconnaissance missions. The major measurable effect on North Vietnam of Rolling Thunder attacks are: 1. About 20 percent, or 70,000 of the total military forces are engaged directly in defensive programs and countermeasures against the Rolling Thunder program. About 220,000 full-time and 100,000 part-time workers have been diverted to repair, reconstruction, and dispersal programs in North Vietnam and Laos. In 1965 and 1966, from 25,000 to 35,000 persons are tentatively estimated to have been casualties of air attacks in the North.

460

2. Physical damage to economic and military targets has also increased. This damage amounted to $65 million in 1965 and an additional $95 million in the first nine months of 1966. Of the latter total, over 70 percent represented damage to economic targets. Despite the increased weight of the air attack, North Vietnam continues to increase its support to the insurgency in South Vietnam. The Rolling Thunder program has not been able to prevent about a threefold increase in the level of personnel infiltration in 1966. The external logistic support needed to maintain the expanded VC/NVA force in South Vietnam has been adequate. In particular, despite the neutralization of the major petroleum storage facilities in the North, petroleum supplies have continued to be imported in needed amounts. Taking a broader view, during the course of the Rolling Thunder program the North Vietnamese capability to support the war effort has improved. 1. The capacity of the transportation system, at least as it affects the ability to handle the flow of men and military supplies to South Vietnam, has increased. 2. The sizable manpower drain has peaked, unless there is a sharp increase in estimated VC/NVA manpower losses in South Vietnam or a radical change in the nature of the air campaign against north Vietnam. In 1965 and 1966, North Vietnam had to mobilize 80 percent of its physically fit males as they reached draft age. Subject to the assumptions just delineated, this levy could be as low as 50 percent of the 1967 class. 3. Aid for the USSR and Communist China received in 1965 and 1966 has amounted, in estimated value, to about five times the total damage caused by Rolling Thunder attacks The fact that a large share of the imports now flowing into North Vietnam is not military aid but machinery and equipment seem particularly significant. On the one hand, it reflects a willingness of the major Communist powers to provide additional equipment for warrelated industrial facilities, probably encouraged by the fact that the modern industrial sector of the North Vietnamese economy has been largely off-limits to air attack. On the other hand, it suggests that adequate reserves of skilled manpower, electric generating capacity, and other essential inputs are available on a significant scale for

461

conversion to a war-supporting role. While this new emphasis accelerates the ability to support military operations in the short run, it does postpone Hanois long-run plans for the development of heavy industry. Nor has Rolling Thunder served visibly to reduce the determination of Hanoi to continue the war. We see no signs that the air attack has shaken the confidence of the regime, and with increased Soviet and Chinese aid to bolster its capabilities, North Vietnam in the short term, at least, will apparently take no positive step toward a negotiated settlement. In any event, it is estimated that Hanoi will continue to be insistent on a cessation of the bombings as a prerequisite for negotiations. Analysis of popular attitudes in North Vietnam indicates a continued firmness in support of the regimes policies. Although the long-term effects of the war may have some wearying effect on the population, there is no evidence that it has yet reached a point sufficient to deter Hanois leaders from their present policies. Finally, the course of the air campaign in 1966 has had no significant effect on the attitudes of third countries. From the resumption of the bombings in January 1966 to the escalation represented by the bombing of the petroleum storage facilities, thirdcountry attitudes have been predictably, relatively constant. The unyielding attitude of the North Vietnamese, particularly during the January bombing pause, has had a somewhat sobering impact on some third countries. Indeed, the escalation against POL storage facilities produced a reaction more restrained and less critical than had been anticipated. Among Communist third countries, the USSR and the Eastern European countries would prefer a negotiated settlement because they regard a continuation of the war as potentially dangerous to themselves and in any case as posing an awkward dilemma for them within the Communist world. The Chinese Communists, however, remain adamant in their attitudes toward the war and any steps leading toward a negotiated settlement. Over and above the measurable effects discussed in the foregoing, the Rolling Thunder program has certain intangible aspects such as enemy morale and determination which are much more difficult to assess. The Rolling Thunder program has been the object of much neutralist criticism and the target of a concerted Communist diplomatic and propaganda campaign. In one sense, this must serve to stiffen Hanois back; at the same time, the program has become one way Hanoi probably measure US determinationthough the extent of US

462

commitment on the ground conveys this determination far more persuasively. Moreover, the Rolling Thunder operation carries some threat of further escalation, and in this way may exert a certain worrisome pressure on Hanoi. On the other hand, if Rolling Thunder were to be terminated at this point without concession, the United States would be deprived of one form of leverage against Hanoi which it now has. The information presented above constitutes only the first ten pages of the CIA assessment. The remainder of the sixty-five page recently declassified CIA PDF document goes on to lay out an accounting of manpower, materials, sorties flown, and detailed accounting of bomb tonnage dropped, railroad bridges destroyed, Soviet and Chinese equipment delivered to the north, and among other things, Communist economic aid extended to North Vietnam. One of the more tenuous parts of the report to read is the section on aircraft lost in the sorties. It speaks in terms of equipment and cost of equipment lost, but there is no mention of pilots lost or shot down.

C. Aircraft Losses A total of 229 planes, including support as well as attack air-craft, were lost during the nine-month period January-September 1966. All were US aircraft. The ratio of total losses to attack sorties was about .38 percent in 1966 compared with a ratio of approximately .65 percent in 1965. This is equal to an average loss of a little more than 3.8 aircraft per 1,000 attack sorties in 1966, compared with a loss of 6.5 aircraft per 1.000 attack sorties in 1965. Losses, by model, of fixed-wing aircraft in 1965 and 1966 are compared in Table 3. Losses as a percent of total sorties flown by models of aircraft most used either remained the same or declined. D. Cost Effectiveness of Operations Against North Vietnam in 1966 The value of the aircraft lost in the sorties against Vietnam in 1966 may be estimated at about $480 million, on the basis of average costs for production models of the types of aircraft lost. A preliminary estimate of the sortie overhead costs for the attack sorties and for the accompanying support sorties is about $200 million. If the ordnance mix in 1966 was about the same as in 1965, the cost of the ordnance

463

delivered by sorties against North Vietnam in 1966 may have been in the neighborhood of $150 million. On this basis, the direct operating cost (excluding manpower losses) of the aerieal attack on North Vietnam during the first nine months of 1966 may be estimated at about $830 million, as follows:

Million US $ Aircraft losses 480 Sortie overhead costs 200 Ordnance costs 150 Total 830 A preliminary estimate of the damage done to North Vietnam by the aerial attack is about $95 million. Thus the cost of one dollars worth of damage to the DRV may be estimated at roughly $8.70. This is an increase of about 28 percent above the cost of $6.80 per dollars worth of damage in 1965. The increase in cost per unit of damage has been caused by loss of planes of more expensive models, by the increased sortie overhead cost resulting from flying a larger number of sorties, and the fact that many of the attractive targets were destroyed in 1965. There is a lot of great information that could be extrapolated for political interpretation from this assessment such as the idea that of what the implication would be of the statement many of the most attractive targets were destroyed in 1965. Operation Rolling Thunder raged on until 1967, so what do you suppose they were dropping bombs on if all the good targets had been destroyed two years earlier. Other CIA assessments surely bear this out, but it is beyond the scope of this book. However I believe it might be of interest to the reader here to understand what can be at stake when our government starts down the path of a False Flag Operation; as shown here, it could mean years of endless and fruitless warfare at the countless cost of human life and suffering for our so-called enemies. The stark cold reality of man and machine at war is apparent in the CIA briefings that came out of the Vietnam War. Media Assessment of The Gulf of Tonkin Incident Newspaper interpretations of the incident were all over the place as witnessed by the following excerpt from an article that appeared in the August 15, 1964 edition of The Montreal Gazette from the HTNS (Hong

464

Kong Times News Service) entitled Did Gulf of Tonkin Crisis Result from a Mistake written by Stanley Knarnow: Selective air and coastal harassment of Vietnam have been going on for years. In the newly charged atmosphere of a fortnight ago, however, the Communists nervously expected something bigger. Thus, when South Vietnamese ships reportedly shelled a couple of North Vietnamese islands, North Vietnamese torpedo boats a week ago Sunday attempted to sink the U.S. destroyer Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin. In view of analysts here, the Communists erroneous conviction that they were being invaded is the only plausible explanation for the second, suicidal torpedo attack the following Tuesday against the destroyers Maddox and C. Turner Joy. Recognition of that blunder may well be the reason why Peking insists that the second incident never took place at all. Or as the Chinese radio put it, the attack was sheer fabrication created by U.S. imperialism in order to extend the war Roscoe Drummond with the Tri-City Review wrote a piece called Why The Attacks by Reds In The Gulf of Tonkin on Aug. 9, 2010. What conceivable misjudgment could cause the Asian Communist to launch an attack on the Unites States Navy in the International waters of the Gulf of Tonkin? There must be some reason which is prompting the leaders of North Vietnam to take this dangerous and reckless action. It cant be accidental, because the American fleet was well away from North Vietnamese waters. It cant be the trigger-happy decision of a military subordinate, because already there has been more than one attack. Roscoe then goes on to answer his own question with a series of rallying cries: Have the Asian Communists come to believe their own propagandathat the United States really is a paper tiger without the will to defend itself? Or that US ships are armed with spitballs and their commanders instructed not fire? On the assumption that Peking, while very belligerent with words, tends to attack the weak, such as Tibet, and to step back from full-scale

465

war, as in India, I doubt that it wants a direct confrontation with the United States. The Tri-City Herald at the time was published by Glen C. Lee and R.F. Philip. It covers the small communities of Pasco, Kennewich, and Richland, Washington. It is heralded as being the only major Englishlanguage newspaper east of the Yakima River and South of Spokane. Today, Ken Robertson is the Executive Editor and Rick Larson in the Managing Editor. On a side note being as we are currently experiencing an economic depression, an enterprising young man may wish at the present time to visit this newspaper organization as it currently has 32 newspaper routes available as of December 11, 2010. [http://www.tri-cityherald.com/1178] According to Dorothy J. Gaiter of The New York Times who wrote an obituary remembrance piece on Roscoe Drummond, he died at the age of 81 as a syndicated political columnist who had covered presidents as far back as Calvin Coolidge. Drummond, like Joseph Alsop worked for the New York Herald Tribune. Roscoe Drummond was also one of the four member panel fielding questions to Kennedy and Nixon during the Oct. 21, 1960 Presidential debates. Roscoe Drummond was also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). In Gary Allens 1971 book Nixon, the Man Behind the Mask, Allen makes liberal use of Roscoe Drummond rhetoric to expose Nixon as a closeted liberal that in fact carried out Lyndon B. Johnsons liberal policies. In Chapter One of the book, he states: Few have gushed over the New Nixon as has the nationally syndicated columnist Roscoe Drummond, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations Establishment. Drummond began even before President-elect Nixon took office, by declaring RMN to be a "secret liberal" The most significant political fact of the hour is now so evident it cant be seriously disputed: President Richard M. Nixon is a "secret liberal." He may not welcome the description. He resists labels and sees himself as a pragmatist, a problem-solver - neither liberal nor conservative who wants to do what needs to be done. But Nixon is already proving himself a liberal-in-action if not a liberal-in-theory -- and this is what counts.

The evidence: Lyndon Johnson initiated and Congress approved the largest volume of social legislation of any president in history. And

466

Nixon prepares to carry forward every major Johnson measure. During the eight Eisenhower years 45 new welfare programs were passed. During the five Johnson years some 435 welfare programs were passed and Nixon is not proposing to dismantle them. He is proposing to build on them and his goal is to make sure they achieve their purposes more effectively. Finally, Nixon has committed his administration to a big openended increase in Social Security benefits by advocating that they be boosted regularly to match higher living costs.

Lyndon B. Johnson quoted Roscoe Drummond articles when he was the Senate Democratic Leader in both 1957 and 1958. He sent letters to Roscoe containing his column quotes along with copies of the Congressional Record under which they appeared.
[http://www.library.georgetown.edu/dept/speccoll/fl/f208%7D1.htm]

Again, we find a well manicured relationship with Lyndon B. Johnson and certain members of the U.S. Press Corps. One might assert that these relationships could be counted on for the support of the type of article that would give an event such as the Tonkin Gulf Incident the appropriate spin when the time arose for such media manipulation in the name of National Security. Many of these articles including the Drummond piece above appear to be propaganda pieces that were peppered throughout U.S. Newspapers emphasizing various points of minutia related to the Gulf of Tonkin Incident that presented a picture of credibility for the Johnson Administration cover story. The following information was noted in an article that appeared in The Free Lance Star of Fredericksburg, Virginia on August 5, 1964 AP entitled Vital Water Highway, Gulf of Tonkin Important. Although the Gulf of Tonkin is a sizable International body of water150 miles wide and 300 miles long-North Viet Nam and Red China seem to regard it as their private lake. They are wary of any shipping in the gulf other than their own. The article further notes that the gulf is regularly patrolled by the U.S. 7th Fleet and that any sea invasion of North Viet Nam would have to come by way of the gulf. An interesting side note to this article has to do with the newspaper The Free Lance Star itself which is one of the oldest privately owned newspapers in the nation. According to Fredericksburg, Virginias

467

website The Free Lance Star is expanding its facilities, a move that speaks to the fruits of prudent management of a newspaper organization in the modern day War of the Disappearing Newspaper nationwide. The paper has been owned by the Rowe Family for the past 90 years. Apparently, prudent family management in a news enterprise is far superior to that of corporate titans that have seen their profits swept off the table by Wall Street pirates and raiders. A $50 million print facility began commercial production in the City in December, 2009, adding a new revenue stream to The Free Lance Star Companies, a local, family-owned business which also holds a newspaper, on-line media and four radio stations in Fredericksburg. The total building improvement was $17 million and printing equipment valued at $30 million will produce the companys newspaper. The Flexible Printing System is only one of its kind in the United States and one of just three in the world. Additional commercial work will utilize the extraordinary capacity of the print facility and boost revenues for the media company. The print facility is located on 14 acres of a 24-acre parcel in the Citys Battlefield Industrial Park. The project also opens two five-acre parcels for development. With the recent declassification of intelligence documents, the truth has finally borne out. What follows is a collection of the most important documents related to the Gulf of Tonkin Incident and as related to the coordination (manipulation) of the media efforts surrounding U.S. Government action in Southeast Asia. The first two documents relate to management of the media and the image of the United States in context of support of South Vietnam. The first document is NSAM 273, issued on November 26, 1963 and signed by McGeorge Bundy which basically has the White House laying down the law to all government agencies to get on board with support of the conflict. The President expects that all senior officers of the Government will move energetically to insure that full unity of support for established U.S. policy in South Vietnam. Both in Washington and in the field, it is essential that the Government be unified. It is of particular importance that express or implied criticism of officers of other branches be scrupulously avoided in all contacts with the Vietnamese Government and with the press. The most striking comment made in the second document, NSAM 308, is the statement by President Johnson that:

468

Mr. Manning is instructed to draw as necessary upon the resources of all government agencies in obtaining and disseminating the facts needed by the American people. NSAM 308 On June 22, 1964, the White House issued National Security Memorandum No. 308 Memorandum To: The Secretary of State, The Secretary of Defense, The Director of Central Intelligence, The Director, U.S. Information Agency, The Administrator, Agency for International Development Domestic understanding and support are essential to the success of United States operation in Southeast Asia. The national interest requires full understanding of our policy and purpose in this area. I am not satisfied with the performance of the several departments in this area; we require stronger arrangements. I have therefore designate Mr. Robert J. Manning, Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, to generate and to coordinate a broad program to bring to the American people a complete and accurate picture of the United States involvement in Southeast Asia, and to show why this involvement is essential. Mr. Manning is instructed to draw as necessary upon the resources of all government agencies in obtaining and disseminating the facts NEEDED by the American people. He will call as necessary upon the senior policy and information officers of your agency. I request that you take the steps necessary to ensure that he receives their unstinting cooperation on a priority basis. I have instructed Mr. Manning to inform me if he encounters any delays or obstructions. Signed: Lyndon B. Johnson Secret Declassified 5/1/80 [Caps and bold letters are in place as editorial highlights] The following document, NSAM314, was written prior to a CIA Special National Intelligence Estimate dated 10-3-64 entitled Probable Communist Reactions to Certain Possible US/GVN Courses of Actions,

469

which obviously points to the probability that President Johnson knew much more about the Gulf of Tonkin Incident prior to the CIA assessment. NSAM314 On September 10, 1964 the White House issued National Security Memorandum NSAM 314: Resumption of Operation in SEA Top Secret The White House, Washington National Security Action Memorandum No. 314 To: The Secretary of State, The Secretary of Defense The President has now reviewed the situation in South Vietnam with Ambassador Taylor and with other advisers and has approved the following actions: U.S. naval patrols in the Gulf of Tonkin will be resumed promptly after Ambassador Taylors return. They will operate initially well beyond the 12-mile limit and be clearly dissociated from 34A maritime operations. The patrols will comprise two to three destroyers and would have air cover from carriers; the destroyers will have their own ASW capability. 2. 34 A operations by the GVN will be resumed after completion of the first DeSoto patrol. The maritime operations are by far the most important. North Vietnam has already publicized them, and is likely to publicize them even more, and at this point we should have the GVN ready to admit that they are taking place and to justify and legitimize them on the basis of the facts of VC infiltration by sea. 34A air drop and leaflet operations should also be resumed but are secondary in importance. We should not consider air strikes under 34A for the present. 3. We should promptly discuss with the Government of Laos for limited GVN air and ground operations into the corridor of Laos, together with Lao air strikes and possible use of U.S. armed aerial reconnaissance. On the basis of these discussions a decision on action will be taken, but it should be recognized that these operations will in any case have only limited effect. 4. We should be prepared to respond as appropriate against the DRV in the event of any attack on US units or any special DRV/VC action against SVN. 1.

470

The results of these decisions will be kept under constant review, and recommendations for changes or modifications or additions will be promptly considered. 6. The President reemphasizes the importance of economical and political actions having immediate impact in South Vietnam, such as pay raises for civilian personnel and spot projects in the cities and selected rural areas. The President emphasizes again that no activity of this kind should be delayed in any way by any feeling that our resources for these purposes are restricted. We can find the money which is needed for all worthwhile projects in this field. He expects that Ambassador Taylor and the country team will take most prompt and energetic action in this field. 7. These decisions are governed by a prevailing judgment that the first order of business at present is to take actions which will help to strengthen the fabric of the Government of South Vietnam; to the extent that the situation permits, such action should precede larger decisions. If such larger decision are required at any time by change in the situation, they will be taken Signed: McGeorge Bundy Top Secret Declassified 5/23/ 78 The following is the CIA Special National Intelligence Estimate dated 10-3-64 entitled Probable Communist Reactions to Certain Possible US/GVN Courses of Actions: Scope Note The courses of action addressed in Section 3 have been given to the intelligence community for the purpose of this estimate and are not meant to represent the full range of options open to the US. It should also be noted that the paper is confined to consideration of Communist reactions and does not discuss possible reactions in the rest of the world. BACKGROUND: THE COMMUNIST VIEW OF THE SITUATION IN INDOCHINA 1. The Communist powers most directly concerned, i.e, North Vietnam and Communist China, undoubtedly feel that present trends in South Vietnam are much in their favor. They anticipate that a political vacuum is forming which they can probably fill with a neutralist coalition government dominated by proCommunist elements. They see a temporary stalemate in Laos, but

5.

471

in their view this is strictly a secondary theater in which trends will become more favorable form them as soon as South Veitnam falls their way; in the meantime their major concern in Laos is to keep the corridor and areas bordering North Vietnam and China in Communist hands. 2. For these reason, they are willing for the time being to accept the Laos situation about as it is. Both there and in South Vietnam they wish to avoid actions which might risk altering the present apparently favorable course of their campaign to undermine the government of south Vietnam (GVN). While they will seek to exploit and encourage the deteriorating situation in Saigon, they probable will avoid actions that would in their view unduly increase the chances of major US response against North Vietnam (DRV) or Communist China. We are almost certain that both Hanoi and Peiping are anxious not to become involved in the kind of war in which the great weight of superior US weaponry could be brought against them. Even if Hanoi and Peiping estimated that the US would not use nuclear weapons against them, they could not be sure of this. As of the present, however, both Hanoi and Peiping appear willing to persist in support of the Viet Cong, even to the extent of risking limited US retaliation against North Vietnam, probably on the calculation that victory is near in the South and they could through political counteraction prevent prolonged or expanded US attacks in the North. 3. The limited US response to the Tonkin Gulf incident followed by assurances that US intentions were specifically limited probably lessened Communist fear of an early major move by the US to bring the war to the North. On the other hand, natural caution plus their ideological bias makes the Communists highly suspicious of the US. Both Hanoi and Peiping have indicated serious concern over the possibility that the US will eventually carry the war to the Northa danger which they probably think becomes more likely as the situation in the South deterioratesand both have taken defensive measures to meet this contingency. 4. To the face of new US pressures against the DRV, further actions by Hanoi and Peiping would be based to a considerable ectent on their estimate of US intentions, i.e., whether the US was actually determined to increase its pressures as necessary. Their estimates on this point are probably uncertain, but we believe that rear of

472

provoking severe measures by the US would lead them to temper their responses with a good deal of caution. 5. On the other hand, it is possible that at anytime Hanoi and Peiping would come to believe that the situation in South Vietnam had become so fragile that an all0-out Viet Cong effort, aided by increased infiltration of personnel, would topple the antiCommunist GVN before the US could take any major action against the North. We believe that the Communists are likely to attempt this in the immediate future because they are not yet certain enough of their capability to achieve a quick decision by such means and probably consider the risks of major US retaliation too great. Whether or not they make such an all out effort, however, they will continue to work for the establishment of what has been their longstanding goal...a neutralist coalition government dominated by Communists which would destroy the basis of the US position.

6. The USSR is probably uneasy about the situation in Indochina for several reasons, the most important being a realization that it might escalate to general war. If tensions increased, we believe that the Soviet interest would be to contain or reduce a crisis. B. Specific Courses and Reponses: Category I Resumption of [redacted] patrols [redacted] 7. We do not believe that the North Vietnamese would initiate attacks on patrol destroyers unless a close approach to share (at least a penetration of the Communist-claimed 12-mile limit) [redaction] led them to believe the destroyers were associated with an attack. However, Hanois desire to keep track of these vessels could accidentally lead to new incidents.

8. If for some reason the DRV did go after the US destroyers and the US retaliated with air strikes, subsequent Communist reactions would depend at least in part upon the severity of the strikes. If the strikes were confined to North Vietnam and to targets associated with the Communist attacks, as were those of 5 August, Communist reaction would probably be limited to (a) DRV selfdefense with fighters, anti-aircraft, and small arms, (b) political maneuvers and propaganda by Communist elements through the world, (c) additional Communist Chinese logistic support to the

473

CRV, including possibly the introduction of more aircraft into North Vietnam. 9. If the US retaliatory strikes hit critical DRV targets not directly associated with the provocation, but were prompt and of short duration, we believe the DRV response would be about as described in para. 8. If, on the other hand, US attacks on nonoassociated targets were heavier and sustained, then we believe the reactions of Hanoi and PeiPing would be about as described in para. 15. 10. We think it most unlikely that the Chinese Communist would deliberately become involved with [redacted] patrols; but they could become inadvertently involved in an action arising from a DRV-US patrol engagement. If so, and if the US retaliation was confined to Chinese Communist targets directly associated with the engagement, the Communist military response would again probably be limited to defensive action. It must be noted, however, than an attack by the US against bases in Communist China, whether provoked unintentionally or deliberately by the Chinese, would introduce a new factor in the Southeast Asian situation, i.e., a direct confrontation of US-Chinese forces. In such case, the Chinese Communists might feel obligated to play a more direct role in the US/DRV conflict. On the international diplomatic front widespread fear of a major international war would enable the Communists to stir up substantial pressures against the US. 11. [Followed by a fully redacted paragraph] Category III: Air action and/or ground operations against infiltration-associated targets in the Lao panhandle. 12. Communist response to US/GVN air action against the infiltration-associated targets in the panhandle would probably be confined to (a) some improvement in passive and AAA defense in the area (b) political and propaganda responses, and (c) Viet Cong sabotage and ground raids directed against the US/GVN air bases. We do not believe that they would launch air attacks on these air bases, because of their very limited capabilities and the fear of provoking air retaliation on their own bases.

474

13. The reaction of GVN or US/GVN ground action against the panhandle infiltration route would depend largely upon the magnitude and duration of the action. At the lower end of the scale, a small hit-and-run raid with a limited objective would probably evoke little more than an attempt to improve PL/DRV capabilities for early detection and ambush of similar future efforts. On the other hand, actions penetrating a considerable distance which threatened PL/DRV use of infiltration routes and bases would probably draw additional Communist forces into the area. We believe it unlikely that the DRV would initiate any largescale aggression in Laos or GVN, although some additions to or redeployments of PAVN forces in Laos might occur. It is also possible that the Communists would counter by seizing such vulnerable targets in southern Laos as Attopeu and Saravane. Category IV: A Systematic pattern of gradually intensifying US/GVN attacks against targets in the DRV itself, including those associated with infiltration routes and military and economic targets. These attacks on the DRV would not include the use of nuclear weapons or US ground forces in organized US combat units. This program would be combined with directly communicated assurances that US objectives were confined to eliminating outside Communist support and guidance of the Viet Cong and Pathet Lao insurrections. 14. This category corresponds closely to the latter stages of the courses (or assumption) which formed the basis for SNIE 50-2-64, Probable Consequences of Certain US Action with Respect to Vietnam and Laos, dated 25 May 1964. Since the publication of the SNIE the GVN position in South Vietnam has deteriorated, the Tonkin Gulf incidents have occurred, and Communist China has furnished North Vietnam with additional support. In addition, divisions within the Communist camp have increased. [Editorial Note: this statement indicates that either the CIA was lying to President Johnson or Johnson may have been coerced by the CIA into providing plausible deniability for US involvement in the Tonkin Gulf Incident.] 15. With the initial phase of US attacks on targets within the DRV which were not directly connected with retaliation, Hanoi and

475

Peiping would probably conclude that the US had embarked on a systematic pattern of attacks on DRV military-related targets. At this point we believe they probably attempt to dissuade the US by a mixture of moves, including some apparent concessions to US wishes, effort to mobilize international opinion against the US, and actions designed to underline Communist determination. Hanoi would probably direct the Viet Cong to launch no dramatic new attacks and might direct them to reduce temporarily the tempo and size of the attacks. To mobilize international pressure against the US, Communist and leftist propaganda facilities would attack US war madness and stress the danger that US actions might bring on World War II. Hanoi would probably make an all out propaganda and diplomatic drive for negotiations and, to this end, there might be private hints of some willingness to accommodate US/GVN views. Hanoi would probable make an all out propaganda and diplomatic drive for negotiations and, to this end, there might be private hints of some willingness to accommodate US/GVN views. Hanoi and Peiping would increase their threats of counteractions and both would probably undertake force deployments designed to add to the credibility of these threats, though we doubt that the DRV would attempt any overt invasion of Laos or South Vietnam. Hanoi would certainly appeal for Chinese Communist defensive assistance, (radars, anti-aircraft artillery, additional combat aircraft, patrol craft, and technical assistance personnel) which Peiping would probably. We doubt that Hanoi would request these Chinese Communist ground troops at this juncture. However, Hanoi would exploit offers of Chinese volunteers, and, to this end, might publicize arrivals of Chinese advisors. Hanoi would also appeal to the Soviets. The USSR would make propaganda and political efforst on behalf of the DRV, and perhaps consent to furnish some military equipment, but would almost certainly take steps to insure that Hanoi and Peiping were kept aware of the limits of Soviet support. 16. If, despite Communist efforts, the US attacks continued, Hanois leaders would have to ask themselves whether it was not better to suspend their support of Viet Cong military action rather than suffer the destruction of their major military facilities and the industrial sector of their economy. In the belief that the tide has set almost irreversibly in their favor in South Vietnam, they might calculate that the Viet Cong could stop its military attacks for the time being and renew the insurrection successfully at a later date.

476

Their judgment on this matter might be reinforced by the Chinese Communist concern over becoming involved in a conflict with US air and naval power. The DRV might consider this a reasonable price to pay in order to reduce the likelihood of damaging US attack on DRV. They would then press for a negotiated cease-fire in the South and try to promote an international conference to pursue their ends. However, they would not be prepared to make any meaningful economic concessions such agreeing to effiective international inspection of infiltration routes. 17. [Editorial Note: This particular paragraph holds the view supported at the time by The Director of Intelligence and Research, Department of State] - On the other hand, in a test of wills with the US, the Communists might embark on a bold course, feeling that the prize to be won by all-out attacks on South Vietnam outweighed any damage to be suffered from the continued US attacks on the DRV. They might feel that any benefits to be gained by buying time would be more than offset by a loss of momentum at a time when victory appeared near, by a loss of face with the VC, and by the consequent bolstering of US/GVN morals. Hanoi would have in mind that concessions under such circumstances might only invited the US to resume strikes upon any renewal of Viet Cong military activity. It this case the DRV would carry on the fight and proceed to send Its own armed forces on a large scale to Laos and South Vietnam. Hanoi might assume that the US would unwilling to undertake a major ground war, or that if it was, it could ultimately be defeated by the methods which were successful against the French. 18. In a situation involving so many levels of possible escalation we cannot make a confident judgment as to which course the DRV leaders would choose. On balance, we inclined to the view that they would choose the conservative course outlined in para. 16, largely on the grounds that they would consider that they were not giving up much more than a little time in return for avoiding great physical damage to their country and escaping the risk of uncontrollable further escalation. There is substantial danger, however, that the DRV might choose the more aggressive course discussed in para. 17. 19. If the DRV should choose the more aggressive course, the question of Communist Chinese intervention would arise. At this state,

477

Peiping would probably make its theats of intervention stronger and more specific. If it had not already done so, it would almost certainly deploy large forces to areas near Vietnam and Laos. Peiping might commit units of it air force to defensive action over North Vietnam at this point, but in view of the magnitude of US air and naval superiority we doubt that Peiping would do so. However, Hanoi and Peiping would probably introduce limited numbers of Chinese Communist ground forces as volunteers, both to prepare for further escalation and to make clear Peipings commitment to assist the North Vietnamese. It is also possible, though unlikely, that unacknowledged Chinese Communist units would make deep incursions into Laos and perhaps even into Thailand and Burma. 20. We believe that Communist China would be very reluctant to become directly involved in fighting in Indochina lest this be taken by the US as a cause for major retaliation against the Chinese mainland. In or view, the Chinese-Communists would not be disposed to engage openly with US forces unless they felt it was necessary in order to prevent destruction of the Communist regime in North Vietnam. We therefore believe there would not be high risk of the introduction of large-scale Chinese ground force combat units unless major US/GVN ground units had moved to occupy areas of the DRV or Communist0held territory in northern Laos, or possibly, the Chinese had committed their air and had subsequently suffered attacks on CCAF bases in China. Nevertheless, there is always a chance that Peiping might so intervene either for reasons that seem irrational to us or because it miscalculated the objectives of US moves in the area. Communist Chinas capability for conducting a ground war in adjacent areas of southeast Asia is formidable. 21. As the escalation progressed, the USSR would be increasingly concerned to bring an end to the crisis. It would probably make plain to Hanoi and Peiping that they could look for no substantial Soviet support. The Soviets would seek to augment international pressures on the US to bring it to the conference table. To this end they might offer hints of intervention, but we believe that they would refrain from military actions in the area and would not take the occasion to provoke a crisis with the US elsewhere. C. General Consequences

478

22. Even if US actions along the lines described about iv Category IV clearly succeeded in halting outside support for the Viet Cong effort, the principal accomplishment would not be a solution to the larger problem of South Vietnam, but rather the buy of time in which to continue US efforts to establish a viable regime in the South and deal with indigenous Viet Cong insurgency. Footnote The Director of Intelligence and Research, Department of State, believes that the DRV would find the arguments in paragraph 17 more persuasive and would choose that course, considering that at this juncture it had optimum provocation as well as international acceptance for overt retaliation in South Vietnam. On August 7th, 1964 Congress passed Johnsons Gulf of Tonkin Resolution based on the publicly reported spin version of events presented by mainstream media organizations and the words of President Lyndon Baines Johnson himself: Gulf of Tonkin Resolution Joint Resolution To promote the maintenance of international peace and security in southeast Asia. Whereas naval units of the Communist regime in Vietnam, in violation of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and of international law, have deliberately and repeatedly attacked United States naval vessels lawfully present in international waters, and have thereby created a serious threat to international peace; and Whereas theses attacks are part of a deliberate and systematic campaign of aggression that the Communist regime in North Vietnam has been waging against its neighbors and the nations joined with them in the collective defense of their freedom; and Whereas the United States is assisting the peoples of southeast Asia to protect their freedom and has no territorial, military or political ambitions in that area, but desires only that these peoples should be left

479

in peace to work out their own destinies in their own way: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression. Sec. 2. The United States regards as vital to its national interest and to world peace the maintenance of international peace and security in southeast Asia. Consonant with the Constitution of the United States and the Charter of the United Nations and in accordance with its obligations under the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty, the United States is, therefore, prepared, as the President determines, to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed force, to assist any member or protocol state of the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty requesting assistance in defense of its freedom. Sec. 3. This resolution shall expire when the President shall determine that the peace and security of the area is reasonably assured by international conditions created by action of the United Nations or otherwise, except that it may be terminated earlier by concurrent resolution of the Congress. Years later, on Feb 21, 1968 in a UPI article entitled McNamara Defends Presidents Actions On Gulf of Tonkin that appeared in the Lodi News-Sentinel the following statement appeared: Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara said Tuesday it was monstrous for anyone to suggest that the Johnson Administration deliberately provoked the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident as an excuse to start the bombing of North Vietnam According to the article, McNamara statements were made before a closed investigatory hearing being conducted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee headed by staunch anti-war committee chairman Senator J. William Fulbright, D-Ark. McNamara was noted as making the following additional points to this incident:

480

The United States had received advance word in an intelligence report of a highly classified and unimpeachable nature that North Vietnam had planned to attack the Maddox and Turner Joy. At no time during the patrol did either of the destroyers leave the high seas and enter areas claimed by the North Vietnamese or recognized by the United States as national waters. At the time of incident, he said, North Vietnam claimed its territorial waters extended thee miles, and a month later it declared a 12-mile limit He said the primary mission of the ship to be involved, the Maddox, was to observe North Vietnamese naval activity and infiltration into South Vietnam but added that the destroyer carried no radio gear indication a more sinister purpose. He said the primary mission of the first ship to involved, the Maddox, was to observe North Vietnamese naval activity and infiltration into South Vietnam but added that the destroyer carried no radio gear indicating a more sinister purpose. The Destroyers had not taken part of two North Vietnamese islands in the gulf two days earlier. (This was an apparent reply to one suggestion by Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., supporting his contention that the destroyers might provoked a Communist attack President Johnson had sufficient information beyond any doubt that the destroyers had been attacked by North Vietnamese torpedo boats before he ordered retaliatory raids. McNamara also raised the question, if there were an attack Aug. 4 against the Maddox, whether Washington authorities had enough solid evidence at the time to support the retaliatory air strikes. He answered his own question by replying that a message from the destroyers indicated doubts about the validity of the ships sonar, or underwater radar, reports. He said he called Adm. U.S. Grant Sharp, commander of American forces in the Pacific and told him there would be no retaliatory attack until we were absolutely positive of the attack.

481

The Admiral told him by phone later, McNamara sais that he was satisfied from all the reports he had on hand, that an attack on our ships had taken place. By the next year on December 9, 1969, the same day Charles Manson, Charlie Watson, Susan Atkins, Pat Krenwinkel, Linda Kasabian and Leslie Sanston were indicted for the Murder in the Helter Skelter slaughter of Movie Star Sharon Tate, it was reported in the The Modesto Bee in an article entitled Tonkin Gulf Repeal Move Wins Scott, Mansfield Support that: Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and minority leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania support a proposal by Sen. Charles Mathia Jr., R-Ind, that the 1963 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution be repealed. [Editorial Note The paper got the date wrong on the Tonkin Gulf Resolution - it should have read 1964] It was also noted in a separate article in the same paper on the same day written by George Esper entitled 400 Plane Strike Reds in Laos Daily that: As many as 400 American warplanes a day are now attacking the Ho Chi Minh Trail and North Vietnamese troop and supply columns moving down it through Laos to South Vietnam, sources in Saigon indicated today. This particular article also spoke to the frustration of many of the U.S. military officers under orders from the Nixon Administration not to discuss the raids. Some officers in Saigon said they hoped Nixons admission [Editorial note: of the bombings] would prompt the Pentagon to issue new guidelines allowing the daily disclosure of the number of missions flown, the targets attacked, results of the raids, and other such details missing from the daily communiqus since U.S. planes switched from targets in North Vietnam to targets in Laos. The official position of the Nixon administration at the time according the article at the time was no comment.

Chapter 3
The Firebombing of Japan
More recently, George W. Bushs implied (now proven to have been false) association of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) with the Iraqi Regime and the claim that Saddam Hussein supported terrorism as a pre-text to attack Iraq could be classified as a False Flag Operation. This reinforces the notion that our government continues to believe it somehow has the right to gut the very essence of the U.S. Constitution as it continues to deploy such tactics in the name of National Security and the so-called War on Terrorism. Among the questions we now face as a nation is: When we look over our long and storied history as a nation, and at how we have postured ourselves in the framework of international affairs, is the result one we can live with and one that measures up to the fulfillment of our national identity as the Founding Fathers and authors of the U.S. Constitution envisioned it. Furthermore, do we wish to be held in high esteem as a nation of honor, or tolerated out of fear for our capacity to commit atrocities on our enemies in the name of perhaps some personal vendetta, or misguided policy that has no legitimate value to our true national interests? In fact, it may come as a surprise to some that many foreigners take for granted that the United States engages in such tactics as false flag operations on a regular basis. The recent release of classified diplomatic cables by Julian Assange and Wikileaks, with the guidance and assistance of the New York Times in the United States, the UK Guardian in England, Le Monde in France, Der Speigal in Germany, and La Pais in Spain, has exposed a good deal of U.S. Government State-craft that one may be sure the U.S. Government would have preferred remain secret. According to an Associated Press article that appeared on Stateman.com written by Jamey Keaten and Brett J. Blackledge entitled Wikileaks, 5 major newspapers collaborate: Days before releasing any of the latest documents, Assange appealed to the U.S. ambassador in London, asking the U.S. government to confidentially help him determine what needed to be redacted from the cables before they were publicly released. The ambassador refused, telling Assange to hand over stolen property. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley called Assange's offer "a half-hearted gesture."

485

But U.S. officials did submit suggestions to The New York Times, which had asked government officials to weigh in on some of the documents the newspaper and its partners wanted to publish. While Keller has emphasized to readers that the Times is "not a 'media partner'\u2009" of WikiLeaks and that it didn't receive the State Department documents from WikiLeaks, his public comments describe a working relationship with the group on the release of the material and decisions to withhold certain information. Looking at the current state of affairs in the United States since 911, we have seen a steady erosion of our civil liberties in the name of National Security. From the Patriot Act to school lock-downs and airport feel-ups otherwise known to power-usurping politicians as pat-downs, U.S. citizens are being asked to give up more and more in terms of privacy and our individual freedom of movement which is now under surveillance from the time we get in our cars and pass under the camera at the stop light down the street, until we enter our places of work and show an ID badge to gain entry into the safety of the inner sanctum of workplace democracy. Not since The Cold War and the Duck and Cover scam, have Americans been subjected to such fear-mongering by Federal Officials. For those readers too young to remember, films were made for school children to teach them how to duck down and cover their bodies or heads under a desk in order to withstand a nuclear explosion. However humorous this may sound to students of a modern era that have the internet ready at hand 24-7 which gives them a better understanding of how the world works, back in the 1950s, a much more gullible public were easily persuaded to follow their leaders after watching the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. The atomic bombs dropped on Japan were thought at the time to be the most horrific deaths delivered during the cruelty of that war, but in fact, a much more devastating event occurred towards the end of World War II that makes the atomic atrocities look like childs play. The U.S. government has for years covered up the fact that hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians were slaughtered with Napalm bombs made from jellied petroleum. Ask someone interested in war today and they might tell you oh yeah, napalmNapalm bombs were first used in Vietnamthats the stuff you see burning the trees down in the movie Apocalypse Now. This ignorance of true and documented events (though scarcely documented one must admit) belies an irrational truth about our government and its lack of trust in we the

486

people to grasp the ethics, evils, liabilities, and responsibilities of having committed atrocities in the name of the preservation of freedom and protecting the homeland. Pretending an event does not exist or simply ignoring what may be considered unpalatable history is a hallmark of U.S. intelligence organizations. Much of what is known about The Tokyo Firebomings has only recently been divulged through declassified documents, interviews, and the work of U.S. military veterans interested in sharing their knowledge for the betterment of mankind. I use quotation marks to bring attention to the event known historically in the U.S. as The Tokyo Firebombings in order to point out that in reality, this event should be called The Illegal and Immoral Japan Firebombings of 67 Cities by Air Force General Curtis LaMay under the orders of Robert McNamarra instead. But then again that requires admission to war crimes, and as we all well know, those were conveniently reserved for Nazis only in World War II. I must also point out that atrocities and horrific killings were committed on all sides in this war, and the Japanese did their fair share to include the slaughter of hundreds of Korean islanders on Cheju-do by beheadings. This does not however excuse humanity for its sickness of the propensity to conduct war, nor does not it excuse the cover-up of such events from a nations citizens by the mentally twisted little men running state departments that choose to go to start wars on behalf of nations if we have any hopes of advancing our civilizations to the point of permanently shelving our war plans and figuring out how to live with one another. The following is a description of the firebombing written by Wayland Mayo, a historian for the website B-29s Over Korea, a site dedicated to preserving the History of the Korean War. Mr. Mayo was an Aerial Photo Gunner on the RB-29 Tiger Lil of the 91st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron during the Korean War conflict:
[http://www.b-29s-over-korea.com/index.html#firebombing]

In 1944 a group of manufacturers including Standard Oil and Du Pont came up with a jellied gasoline called napalm. It would stick to anything and set ferociously hot fires. Gen. Thomas Power, Commander of the 314th Bombardment Wing, carried out a fire raid test over Tokyo. On March 9, 334 B-29s took off from Guam, arriving in Japan under good weather conditions. The planes were stacked up from 4,900 ft. to 9,200 ft. They dropped one 500 pound cluster of fire bombs every 50 feet. The target area was 3 by 5 miles, containing a large industrial

487

complex, however each square mile held over 100,000 civilians. The bombs fell, and within thirty minutes the resulting fires were out of control, driven by 40 mph winds. Tokyo, hit by strings of incendiaries, became a holocaust. Water boiled in the canals after the temperature reached over 1800 degrees F. For three hour the B-29s kept coming. Only a few fighters appeared causing little damage. We lost 14 planes with damage to 42. An official Japanese count reported nearly 84,000 killed, 41,000 injured, and over 250,000 buildings destroyed in this one raid. 16 square miles burned out. The Japanese called the raid "Slaughter bombing".] Robert McNamara who was the Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968 under both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations stated the following about The Firebombing of Japan in an interview with film maker Errol Morris in the documentary The Dogs of War. Notice how McNamara does not quantify the scope of whole raid in the first part of his interview; he merely discusses Tokyo. He later lets the cat out of the bag about the other cities involved: LeMay was focused on only one thing: target destruction. Most Air Force Generals can tell you how many planes they had, how many tons of bombs they dropped, or whatever the hell it was. But, he was the only person that I knew in the senior command of the Air Force who focused solely on the loss of his crews per unit of target destruction. I was on the island of Guam in his command in March of 1945. In that single night, we burned to death 100,000 Japanese civilians in Tokyo: men, women, and children. Errol Morris: Were you aware this was going to happen? Robert McNamara: Well, I was part of a mechanism that in a sense recommended it. I analyzed bombing operations, and how to make them more efficient. i.e., Not more efficient in the sense of killing more, but more efficient in weakening the adversary. I wrote one report analyzing the efficiency of the B29 operations. The B29 could get above the fighter aircraft and above the air defense, so the loss rate would be much less. The problem was the accuracy was also much less.

488

Now I don't want to suggest that it was my report that led to, I'll call it, the firebombing. It isn't that I'm trying to absolve myself of blame. I don't want to suggest that it was I who put in LeMay's mind that his operations were totally inefficient and had to be drastically changed. But, anyhow, that's what he did. He took the B29s down to 5,000 feet and he decided to bomb with firebombs. I participated in the interrogation of the B29 bomber crews that came back that night. A room full of crewmen and intelligence interrogators. A captain got up, a young captain said: "Goddammit, I'd like to know who the son of a bitch was that took this magnificent airplane, designed to bomb from 23,000 feet and he took it down to 5,000 feet and I lost my wingman. He was shot and killed." LeMay spoke in monosyllables. I never heard him say more than two words in sequence. It was basically "Yes," "No," "Yup," or "The hell with it." That was all he said. And LeMay was totally intolerant of criticism. He never engaged in discussion with anybody. He stood up. "Why are we here? Why are we here? You lost your wingman; it hurts me as much as it does you. I sent him there. And I've been there, I know what it is. But, you lost one wingman, and we destroyed Tokyo." 50 square miles of Tokyo were burned. Tokyo was a wooden city, and when we dropped these firebombs, it just burned it. Lesson #5: Proportionality should be a guideline in war. Errol Morris: The choice of incendiary bombs, where did that come from? Robert McNamara: I think the issue is not so much incendiary bombs. I think the issue is: in order to win a war should you kill 100,000 people in one night, by firebombing or any other way? LeMay's answer would be clearly "Yes." "McNamara, do you mean to say that instead of killing 100,000, burning to death 100,000 Japanese civilians in that one night, we should have burned to death a lesser number or none? And then had our soldiers cross the beaches in Tokyo and been slaughtered in the tens of thousands? Is that what you're proposing? Is that moral? Is that wise?"

489

Why was it necessary to drop the nuclear bomb if LeMay was burning up Japan? And he went on from Tokyo to firebomb other cities. 58% of Yokohama. Yokohama is roughly the size of Cleveland. 58% of Cleveland destroyed. Tokyo is roughly the size of New York. 51% percent of New York destroyed. 99% of the equivalent of Chattanooga, which was Toyama. 40% of the equivalent of Los Angeles, which was Nagoya. This was all done before the dropping of the nuclear bomb, which by the way was dropped by LeMay's command. Proportionality should be a guideline in war. Killing 50% to 90% of the people of 67 Japanese cities and then bombing them with two nuclear bombs is not proportional, in the minds of some people, to the objectives we were trying to achieve. I don't fault Truman for dropping the nuclear bomb. The U.S. Japanese War was one of the most brutal wars in all of human history ? kamikaze pilots, suicide, unbelievable. What one can criticize is that the human race prior to that time ? and today ? has not really grappled with what are, I'll call it, "the rules of war." Was there a rule then that said you shouldn't bomb, shouldn't kill, shouldn't burn to death 100,000 civilians in one night? LeMay said, "If we'd lost the war, we'd all have been prosecuted as war criminals." And I think he's right. He, and I'd say I, were behaving as war criminals. LeMay recognized that what he was doing would be thought immoral if his side had lost. But what makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?

The importance of these events and others like them throughout our U.S. History should serve as a warning or perhaps a wakeup call for citizens who are interested in improving our calling as a nation of civilized individuals working for the common good of mankind if that is to be our mantra as there is no honor in war or slaughter. Thus, we can also draw the conclusion from our past history that the role of False Flag Operations may be thought of as indicators that war may be close at hand, as many of these operations have proved to be the consequential event that generally positioned our nation on the brink of war, escalation of war, or commitment of troops to such endeavors. That brings us to the question of what we are now faced with in the light of the recent so-called terrorist ink toner cartridge bombs being placed in cargo planes supposedly originating from the nation of Yemen and bound for Chicago synagogues. So now is the time to put on our investigative hats. Just keep in mind that once one puts on such a hat, it might well begin to rain, and one will a high degree of certainty be labeled a conspiracy theorist by yellow journalist media trollops and the political pimps they work for that have something to hide or suppress. Government officials are quick to dismiss anything that rings of such theoretical endeavors up until the beans are spilled and they are unable to put them back in the sack. In fact, if one were to reasonably examine the words conspiracy theory, one would find the words are steeped in the age old art of back-room government parlay at the highest levels, something that is not new, and certainly cannot be easily dismissed as theory by the very government officials who are intimately involved in day to day operation of our State Department, White House, and Congress. Take the New World Order for instance. I assert that this is no longer fodder for conspiracy theorists. It is a proven conspiracy that came to pass in September of 2008 when the U.S. Government kowtowed to Secretary of Treasury Hank Paulsons bullying and sold out the U.S. Taxpayers at the behest of the world bankers now calling the shots worldwide. The only conspiracy that I currently see is the one Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is cooking up with White House and the U.S. Department of Labor in order to cook the unemployment numbers.

Chapter 5
How to Properly Describe an Ink Toner Cartridge Bomb
According to an article that appeared on Jewish website MatzaTV.com on Oct. 30, 2010, entitled Video: Obama Confirms: Explosive Packages Bound for Chicago Area Jewish Institutions, the bombs headed for Chicago synagogues originated from the same address in Yemen:
Authorities in Dubai intercepted one explosive device. The second package was aboard a plane searched in East Midlands, which is north of London, and officials said it contained a printer toner cartridge with wires and powder. White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan said the devices were in packages about the size of a breadbox.

Video and article appear here: [http://matzav.com/obama-confirms-explosivepackages-bound-for-area-jewish-institutions]

In this video Obamas announces to the world that the United States is about to launch a new war in Yemen. In a CNN article that appeared under the law enforcement section of CNN online written on October 29, 2010, describes the bombs as containing massisve amounts of explosives:
Two suspicious packages found abroad that were bound for Jewish organizations in the United States contained a massive amount of explosive material that -- had the suspected terror plot not been thwarted -- would have triggered a powerful blast, a source close to the investigation said Friday.
[http://articles.cnn.com/2010-10-29/us/security.concern_1_suspicious-packages-petnexplosive-material?_s=PM:US]

In an Oct. 30th, 2010 article entitled Al Qaeda ink cartridge bomb found on jet was linked to mobile phone SIM card, The Daily Mail in the UK, put it this way:
The packages were addressed to synagogues in Chicago, and were on Chicago-bound cargo planes that had set off from Yemen in the Middle East.

505

 The police said they were tipped off by a call from abroad. It warned of the possibility of an explosive device hidden in postal packages onboard the FedEx flight from Yemen. The first package was found in the early hours yesterday. It had arrived on a United Parcel Service (UPS) flight which stopped at East Midlands Airport, on the Derbyshire and Leicestershire border. It was taken off the plane and placed in a UPS storage depot just 300ft from the runway and half a mile from the passenger terminal, which is used by five million a year. From there, it would have been transferred on to a cargo plane bound for Chicago. But other sources said the packages may have been dummies adapted to look like real bombs in a dry run as preparation for a real plot. Hours after the discovery at East Midlands, two UPS planes at Philadelphia airport were moved to a secure area and checked, while searches were also carried out on an aircraft arriving from the UK in Newark, New Jersey. UPS said it was immediately suspending service out of Yemen until further notice 'because security is of the utmost importance'.

[Editorial Note: The photos accompanying this article from SKY News are interesting as they show a plane originating from the United Arab Emirates being searched supposedly at the JFK Airport after having been escorted in by a fighter jet, the claim being it had a package on it that had originated from Yemen.]
[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1324948/Al-Qaeda-ink-cartridge-omb-jetlinked-mobile-phone-SIM-card.html]

While beguiling an audience with her womanly charms, Diane Feinstein, not to be outdone, claimed the new fangled-bombs were simply the latest fashion coming in from London:
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-California, called the potential plot "a new novel thing -- and that is using FedEx and UPS planes to perhaps bring in something that might be explosive." In a statement Saturday, Dubai police said explosives in a package set to be shipped on a FedEx cargo plane had been "professionally" loaded in a package and connected via an electric circuit to a mobile phone chip hidden inside a printer.

506

"The plot style carries features similar to previous attacks carried out by terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda," the statement said according to WAM official news agency. Another suspicious package, found at the UK's East Midlands Airport, contained a "manipulated" toner cartridge and had white powder on it as well as wires and a circuit board, a law enforcement source said. [Editorial Note: A photo of the toner cartridge also accompanies the CNN story. The problem is that it in no way matches the type of cartridge shown in the UK story.]
[http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/10/29/security.concern/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1]

I hope by now the reader is beginning to discover the usefulness of this exercise. As the photos on the next page will show, the toner cartridges from CNN and the UK Daily Mail are not the same. The physical structures at several key points are simply different, indicating they were removed from two different devices, or perhaps one of the news agencies cooked their story or the photos were furnished by intelligence sources. However, all the news reports noted that the only one of the bombs was in a toner cartridge. The other was said to be in a package, (the size of a breadbox). There also appears to be confusion in the details of the origination of the bombs. Was it Fed-ex, UPS, were they on airplanes? When one attempts to manufacturer evidence for wide distribution, controlling the outcome can be a daunting task. I assert that either one of the newspapers has manufactured the photos or they were supplied to them by intelligence operatives. Fox News just flat out attempted to make conjecture appear to be fact. But I suppose the Murdochs are currently unde a lot of stress over their latest legal issues, so they probably simply do not have enough times to properly ascertain fact from fiction. On the next page we will examine the timeline that was published on the CBS News Website in order to help further determine the veracity of the news stories. The timeline is suspect as most of it is irrelevant to the actual bombs. First we will view the complete CBS Timeline, and then we shall view my version with what I deem to be the irrelevant bullet items removed.

CBS Timeline Dissected The CBS Timeline has 24 items of information. Below, for our intitial analysis we have removed the fluff, or the information that is irrelevant to the specific case of President Obama and John Brennan stating that they have a credible terrorist threat. We start by removing the first 6 items which have no proven relationship to the next items. We

Posssible Facts (in this case, I am using the word fact to describe the news media reported physical descriptions of the bombs, statements made by authorities, and photographs.this does not mean the fact is factual.)

Conjecture (items likely to be smoke & mirrors as no follow-up as been discussed in media and some items were disproven.)
Item 10 - Oct. 29, 2010: News emerges about four UPS planes quarantined and searched for suspicious packages in the U.S., and other suspicious packages being checked out in the U.K. and France. Item 11 - NYPD seize a UPS truck known to have a package from Yemen on board. Truck was later cleared. Item 12 - Report says anti-terror authorities in the U.S. and the U.K. examining suspected explosive packages addressed to Chicago-area synagogues and packed aboard cargo jets.

Item 24 - U.K. forensic experts say one of the two bombs was linked to a mobile phone, the other was attached to a timer, and were designed to explode in mid-air. [Editorial Observation on Statements 23 & 24 as related to PETN: I am surprised that anyone would make the statements as found in Items 23 & 24 given the readily available information on the internet about the properties of PETN. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, PETN requires either the addition of TNT or RDX in order to make a viable explosive. Neither one of these compounds was noted to have been found. Secondly, it is noted that PETN requires a mechanical shock.

513

It is noted to be use as a detonator for other explosives. This information appears to be at odds with the scenario of it blowing up in mid-air.
PETN, abbreviation of pentaerythritol tetranitrate, a highly explosive organic compound belonging to the same chemical family as nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose. PETN has the chemical formula C5H8N4O12. It is prepared by reacting pentaerythritol (C5H12O4), an alcohol traditionally used in paints and varnishes, with nitric acid (HNO2). The reacting solution is chilled to precipitate the PETN, which is filtered out, washed, dried, and recrystallized to produce a colourless crystalline material that is generally stored and shipped as a mixture with water and alcohol. PETN retains its properties in storage for longer periods than do nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose. Nevertheless, it is a sensitive compound and is easily detonated by an appropriate mechanical shock. PETN was first synthesized in 1894 and was introduced as a commercial explosive after World War I. It has been valued in both military and civilian applications for its shattering force and efficiency. It is used by itself in detonators, blasting caps, and a detonating fuse known as Primacord, which is used to propagate a series of detonations from one explosive charge to another. A mixture of roughly equal amounts of PETN and trinitrotoluene (TNT) creates a military high explosive called pentolite, which is used in grenades, artillery projectiles, and shaped-charge warheads such as the ones launched by the old bazooka-type antitank weapons of World War II and their modern descendants. Mixed with the extremely powerful compound RDX in an appropriate solvent, PETN forms a plastic explosive mixture known as Semtex.]

Irrelevant (items added to the timeline for fluff)

Item 1 - Sept. 3, 2010: UPS cargo plane crashes at an air force base shortly after take-off from Dubai airport, killing two crewmembers on board. Reports said a fire had broken out in the plane just after it took off from Dubai international airport.
[Editorial Comment & Analysis: Even though al-Qaeda supposedly claimed responsibility for this on Nov. 5, 2010, it is doubtful, as U.S. FAA officials had already issued a warning on Oct. 13, 2010 to pilots of planes, like this one, that are loaded with lithium batteries as their cargo to the potential of fire hazard.

Item 2 - Sept. 4, 2010: Yemen announces the arrest of a top AQAP leader, ex-Gitmo detainee Jaber al-Fayfi.

514

[Editorial Comment & Analysis: The claim here is that al-Fayfi tipped off authorities about the cargo bomb plot, yet Yemeni authorities arrest a 22 year old female college student by the name of Hanan al-Samawi for the plot according to the UK Mail Online in an article published on Nov. 10th, 2011 written by David Williams entitled Al Qaeda supergrass foiled cargo jet 'printer bombs' with eight times amount of explosive needed to down plan,
[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1325625/Al-Qaeda-ink-bombs-8-timesexplosives-needed-plane.html]

Either David Williams did some sloppy reporting, or didnt have his facts straight because in the following section of his article in which he mentions al-Samawi, he does not state the date of her release, or perhaps this inattention to detail was intentional. Following this excerpt, I have included one from The Christian Science Monitor that claims al-Samawi was released from custody on the same day she was arrested.
Meanwhile, there were demonstrations for a second day in Sanaa by students in support of the 22-year-old Hanan al-Samawi, who was freed after being held together with her mother by Yemeni officials in connection with the bomb plot. Both were released after investigators said her details and telephone number used to post both packages had been stolen and used by another woman. 'They detained me, investigated with me and found out that I was innocent so they released me,' the engineering student said.

However, the Christian Science Monitor reported on October 31st that alSamawi had already been released on the same day, October 31st, 2010.
Samawis contact details, including her mobile number, were found on one of the explosive packages, which allegedly had been intended for synagogues in Chicago. A tip from a foreign intelligence agency forwarded her name and phone number to Yemeni authorities, says the Yemeni government. But a Yemeni official briefed on the ongoing investigation but not authorized to speak to the press has confirmed that Samawi has been freed. "During the questioning, the shipping agent was called in to identify the suspect and informed authorities that she wasnt the individual who signed the shipping manifesto. Authorities concluded that this was a case of stolen identity by an individual who knew the detained suspects full name, address, and telephone number," said the official. [Yemeni officials free suspect in Al Qaeda bomb plot by
Laura Kasinof, The Christian Science Monitor, Oct. 31, 2010, Yemeni officials free suspect in Al Qaeda bomb plot]

515

A third article entitled We are with you Hanan al-Samawi that was publishe in the Yemen Observer on Nov. 2, 2010 writtend by Jeb Boone, Majid al-Kibsi, and Abdul Aziz Oudah speaks to her arrest and states that as of Tuesday, November 2, 2010, she was still being held after being picked up the previous Saturday night on October 31st, 2010. This article may be the most reliable as it came from a local Yemeni source, which therefore begs the question why the mainstream U.K. and U.S. media got it all wrong.
Suspected parcel bomber Hanan al-Samowi, arrested by the Yemeni national security force on Saturday night, was a fifth year engineering student in the computer science department of Sanaa University. On Saturday morning, hundreds of students gathered outside Sanaa University to demand alSam wis release, maintain her innocence. Following the demonstration, Yemeni security forces shut down the school, forcing students and media to leave the scene. A national security force investigation is taking place currently inside Sanaa University. In an email given to the Yemen Observer, al-Samawi wrote to a friend asking for help with fixing the cooling fan on her laptop, stating that she did not know where to put the wire on the computers motherboard. The email was sent three days before the parcel bombs were found.

But thats not all. There is a fourth version to this story and this one comes from Americas trusted news network, CBS. And by golly we should believe what they tell us rightfor afterall, they are Americas most watched news network. CBS reported on Monday, Nov. 1st, 2010 that Ms. al-Samawi had been released on bail on Sunday, Oct. 31st.
The young Yemeni woman arrested on suspicion of mailing powerful bombs to U.S. synagogues was released on bail Sunday, and a Yemeni official said authorities no longer believe she shipped the bombs. Authorities arrested the woman after tracking the name and address used on the packages. But after the woman was arrested, the shipping agent said she wasn't the one who signed the shipping documents, the official said. The release means investigators no longer have any suspects in custody in a suspected al Qaeda plot that authorities believe was intended to take down cargo jetliners. The Yemeni official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said investigators now believe someone stole her identity and used it to mail the bombs.

We will begin with my transcript of Obamas speech on the Evening of October 29th, 2010 in which he stated: [President Obama: I wanna briefly update the American people on a credible terrorist threat against our country..and.the actions that we are taking with our friends and our partners to respond to it.

Those measures led to additional screening of some planes in Newark and Philadelphia. The Department of Homeland Security is also taking steps to enhance the safety of air travel including additional cargo screening.. we will continue to pursue additional protective measures for as long as it takes to ensure the safety and security of our citizensI have also directed that we spare no effort in investigating the origins of these suspicious packages and their connection to any additional terrorist plotting. although we are still pursuing all the facts, we do know the package originated in Yemen..we also know that al-Quaeda in the Arabian peninsula a terrorist group based in Yemen continues to plan attacks against our homeland, our citizens and our friends and allies. John Brennan, who you will be hearing from spoke with President Saleh today about the seriousness of this threat and President Saleh pledged the full cooperation of the Yemini government in this investigation. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen our cooperation with the Yemeni government to disrupt plotting by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and to destroy this al-Qaeda affiliate. We will also continue our efforts to strengthen a more stable secure prosperous Yemen so that terrorist groups dont have the time and space they need to plan attacks within its borders..

As reported in the YemenPost.net on Friday, Oct. 29th, 2010:

Mohammed al-Shaibah, Air Cargo Director for Yemenia Airways said to Yemen Post, "No UPS cargo plane left Yemeni lands over the land 48 hours. These accusations are false and baseless." He added, "No UPS or DHL cargo packages heading to Chicago through Yemen took place in the last 48 hours as well." "All packages are checked very carefully in Yemen, and there is no evidence to prove that this package came through Yemen." CNN reported the suspicious package, which contained a "manipulated" toner cartridge, tested negative for explosive material, the source said, but it led to heightened inspection of arriving cargo flights in Newark, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a UPS truck in New York.

As reported on Press TV on Oct. 30th, 2010:

The United Arab Emirates' Civil Aviation Authority has rejected claims that a US-bound Emirates' flight from Dubai contained "suspicious" parcels from Yemen. Fighter jets were scrambled on Friday to accompany an Emirates plane into New York's JFK airport after a security alert, US media reported. Emirati authorities, however, said flight 201 carried no 'suspicious' cargo from Yemen as claimed by US-Canadian military agency NORAD. UAE officials rejected the claim and said the plane was not a source of threat. "The Emirates plane that arrived today in the United States from Dubai did not contain any packages from Yemen," the official Emirati WAM news agency quoted an unnamed source with the country's civil aviation body as saying. North American military agency caused a media hype after it reported the suspicious flight.

As reported on the Yemen News Agency on Oct. 30th, 2010: SANA'A, Oct. 30 (Saba) No UPS cargo planes left Yemen to other countries in the last days and there are no direct flights from Yemen to the United Kingdom or the United States, a Yemeni official said, after allegations that British and U.S. officials had found suspicious packages on planes that originated in Yemen. The official wondered how the media mentioned the name of Yemen reporting that an explosive device was found onboard a cargo plane that landed in London coming from Yemen. UPS planes never land or take off in Yemen, the official made clear. We urge the media not to make hasty judgments about sensitive issues and the media should wait until investigations reveal the truth, the official said, as he pointed out that Yemen has launched an investigation into the allegations and planned to coordinate with the United Arab Emirates, Britain and the U.S. over the issue.

The deadly al-Qaeda ink bomb was removed by unsuspecting baggage handlers, it was revealed last night. By Alun Palmer

The deadly al-Qaeda ink bomb was removed by unsuspecting baggage handlers, it was revealed last night. Two workers at East Midlands Airport were simply ordered to unload a container from an aircraft after authorities received a tip-off about a bomb in a printer cartridge. Last night a Yemen-based al-Qaeda group claimed responsibility for the bomb, which was reportedly just 17 minutes from detonation. At first it was thought trained officers removed the suspect device but the cargo handlers were shocked to discover the seemingly routine job last Friday could have killed them. A colleague of the pair said: "They were horrified. No one can understand why they were anywhere near a suspect device. Surely they should have left it to the bomb squad? They were really shaken up when they realised what had happened."

When investigating a government conspiracy to cover-up something, no stone can be left unturned. It is often a small detail that is the key to the plot, something that may be missed if the whole picture is not analyzed in great detail. I would also caution the reader that what I am presenting in this book will likely remain a mystery, or as some would have it, a conspiracy theory in the minds of detractors, government and yellow journalist propaganda specialists and naysayers up until that glorious day in the distant futuresay 50 years or so from now when some bureaucrat determines the American people can handle another dose of the truth. At that time, a magical stamp will be pulled from the bottom drawer of some unknown battle scarred bureaucrats desk draweryou know the one, that elderly lady with horn-rimmed bifocals that is cordially referred to as Ms. Confidentialthe one that knows the deep dark secrets and once was JFK Jrs babysitter back in the glory days when communists were hiding under the carpets of the Whitehouseand she shall be the one to ink that stamp up, take out a thick file, cross out the name of a few honorable men and then stamp it DECLASSIFIED. In the meantime, we will make do with what is presented to us on the internet such as Homeland Security TSA Contract #HSTS03-05-CCAO071, which lists under Section C-STATEMENT OF WORK: Inkjet and Laser Printer Cartridge Recycling ..to be carried out at literally every federally regulated airport in the nation. The contract has half a dozen or so attachments in order to accommodate all the names of the airports. Now, Im just a country boy from Tennessee, but it sure seems to me that there would be a readily available supply of Inkjet and Laser Printer Cartridges laying around to play with if someonesay a top secret agent man from some mysterious alphabet agencywanted to create a little mischief and perhaps hoodwink the American people, just saying, what?

Pistole Goes to Yemen where TSA Personnel Have Been Deployed TSA Administrator Visits Yemen, Meets with International Security Officials in Germany [http://www.tsa.gov/press/releases/2010/1103.shtm] [Editorial Comment: I have edited this release to include only the part that focuses on Pistoles trip to Yemen] Press Release November 3, 2010 Washington - Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator John S. Pistole today visited Yemen to meet with government officials including Deputy Prime Minister Rashad al-Alimi, officials from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Interior as well as the U.S. Ambassador. The TSA Administrator also received briefings from TSA inspectors deployed to Yemen and expressed his gratitude for their work. Additionally, Pistole toured a cargo facility in Sanaa. Yesterday, Pistole spoke to the International Air Transport Associations (IATA) AVSEC World Conference in Frankfurt, Germany, met with international aviation security officials and signed an international security agreement with Germany. Following the disruption of an attempt last week to ship explosive devices on board aircraft bound for the U.S, TSA and the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) took immediate measures to enhance existing protocols for screening inbound cargo, including grounding packages originating from Yemen destined for the U.S. and deploying a team of inspectors to assist the government of Yemen with their cargo screening procedures. I am pleased with the work of our TSA inspectors and the cooperation of Yemeni officials to improve cargo security practices, said TSA Administrator John S. Pistole. We face a determined enemy, one who modifies their actions looking for any opportunity to exploit security. Working closely with counterterrorism officials here and abroad, TSA will continue to use the best intelligence, leverage the latest technology, and remain vigilant to address evolving threats.

Media Manipulation by The Arizona Star

Beyond the ink toner photo manipulation, other news was being manipulated as well. An AP story written by Ben Nuckols about exploding packages that were sent to Federal buildings in the North East, one of which was apparently addressed to Janet Napolitano, was published in dozens of Newpapers and their online editions around the nation. The original article as shown in the San Mateo, California paper showed what appear to be police and other officials investigating a quarantined Federal building nestled in the woods. Accompanying the photo was a map that had arrows showing the location of this particular federal site to the other locations that received similar packages. This map appears in this book in the next page. But here is where the story gets interesting. This same map was used by a couple of newspapers around the country with a simple headline above it suggesting the packages that are referenced on the map as having ignited, were somehow connected to the so-called ink toner bombs headed for Jewish houses of worship from Yemen. This was a pure fabrication. This headline with the map appeared both in the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the Arizona Daily Star. Even worse, the manipulation had to have been done after the headline in the Daily Star and the Post Dispatch were entered into the computer because the map did not appear until Knuckols article appeared on January 7th, 2012. Thus the map was added to an old headline and two unrelated media events were merged together in what appears to be an attempt to confuse the public, scare them, or manipulate public opinion by making it appear an ink toner bomb from the Yemen False Flag Operation story had actually exploded. I photographed the manipulation by the Arizona star on my laptop. The photos are in safekeeping. I also had a friend do the same in order to have solid evidence of the event after this book comes out. I have included four additional photographs following the photo of the original map photo. I did this so the reader can see the rotating banner ad on the right hand side of the photo, which changed during the few seconds that it took for me to snap the photos. This URL may have been removed by now, but it is what I used to get to the story:

Chapter 6
Discerning Motive
When the U.S. Government involves itself in international affairs, whether the stated objective is nation building, disbursement of foreign aid, or the engagement of other nations in wars of freedom and deliverance from evil dictators, and in the smoke and mirror world of false flag operations, one may be rest assured that 99.999% of the time, the bottom line involves a bottom line on some corporations balance sheet. Rarely have we stepped up to do the right thing for a nation without taking advantage of their particular situation by making perhaps unwelcome advances into the sovereignty of the target nation by suggestion of some U.S. favorable policy, demanding the opening up of certain business interests to American investment or the suggestion and follow-up of the deployment of U.S. dollars via foreign aid in order to grease the wheels of democracy. This modus operandi also appears to apply to the recent phenomena of our government advancing the Patriot Act vis-a-vis the suppression of freedom and movement and the surveillance of U.S. citizens through Homeland Security. Thus, when one attempts to sort out motive in the actions of our government, the first thing that should be investigated is the money trail; who stands to profit from the situation at hand? The second question to be asked is comparative to the first, that being, is there a quid pro quo political trade-off being made in the seedy back offices of Washingtons elite power brokers for either goods, services or votes on particular pieces of legislation, or is the action being undertaken solely in the name of making pure unadulterated profits. In the realm of motives as applies to the TSAs recent policy of full body scans and pat-downs at our nations airports, a third consideration much more sinister in nature must be considered, that being that the rape of the American taxpayer over the housing bubble has become so unpalatable to U.S. citizens that certain members of our government are now in fear for their own well-being and safety to the extent that they perceive a need to exert more authority and control over the masses. In the case of the TSA related False Flag Operation over alleged ink toner cartridge bombs originating from Yemen and supposedly destined for Chicago synagogues, I assert that it is a little bit of both at work here, both a profit motive and an absurd belief that a clampdown is needed on U.S. citizens freedom of movement, and right to privacy. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been awash in U.S. taxpayer cash since 9-11 and the implementation of the Bush Doctrine

543

and the fascist Patriot Act. Obama campaigned on a platform that was critical of these policies, yet he has proven to be a wolf in sheeps clothing and has whole-heartedly embraced nearly every single Bush policy he claimed to be against. President Obama has become known in some circles around the globe as the Merchant of Death as he uses the CIA as his own personal hit-squad in the name of fighting the so-called War on Terror. Obama has personally overseen the assassination of dozens of human beings since being elected to office, to include three US citizens. The U.S. government operates like a high rolling gambler at times, throwing a big wad of cash onto the table and lets the chips fall where they may. The information available on the website of Homeland Security clearly indicates that the department is rolling in the dough. This department, much like the U.S. Department of Education, operates on the highly wasteful model of making grants available to anyone bold enough and ingenious enough to step up to the plate to bid on the needed (perceived need) equipment or service. And in the esoteric world of government grant monies, the most highly organized private interest groups and corporations that have grant writers on staff and invest in political pandering and employ ex-government officials as lobbyists are in a much better position to navigate this landscape and ensure they receive the largest share of this taxpayer gravy simmering in Homeland Securitys gold-plated skillet. The gravy train by the way is directly tied to the War on Drugs, a war I assert they do not wish to win because it would cut off their share of the illegal drug industries profits that are collected through traffic stops, raids, busts, and banking surveillance. Among notable organizations that have gamed this system include AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which lobbies for the State of Israel and thus has gravy slobbering off its chin to the tune of $3.1 billion taxpayer dollars per year. Matter of fact, Jewish synagogues and private Jewish schools have been the biggest recipients of taxpayer generated homeland security gravy. Jewish schools and synagogues across the country have convinced the federal government that they should be considered prime terrorist targets and therefore deserve receive funding to security-harden their facilities. In 2011, Jewish organizations received the bulk of Homeland Security Department grants to this regard. In an article that appeared on January 12, 2012 online in the Saint-Louis Post Dispatch entitled Jewish Groups get most money from federal security grants written by Tim Townsend, it is noted that:

544

In an event announcing $1.7 billion in Department of Homeland Security grants, Napolitano noted that 63 percent of nonprofit grant recipients were "affiliated with Jewish organizations." The Department of Homeland Security has awarded $119 million in grants to nonprofit groups since the program began in 2005. The grants are available to any nonprofit that can prove to federal security officials that it "or closely related organizations (within or outside the U.S.)" was the victim of a prior threat or attack "by a terrorist organization, network, or cell," according to the grant application From Boston to San Diego, synagogues, community centers, schools, office buildings and elder-care centers have used the grants of up to $75,000, for surveillance cameras, digital video recorders, vehicle barriers, lighting, perimeter fencing, bulletproof windows and identification systems, among other improvements.

Zionist Jews such as Abe Foxman use the self-centered notion of their perceived unique suffering on the worlds historical stage as the rallying banner by which to make their case for their highly unbalanced share of the pie and they make no bones about it. In my opinion, it is time these ridiculous notions were challenged. World War II is over, and as far as I know, not too many Jews have been slaughtered lately, and they surely have not stepped up to the plate and used their unique position as victims to stop the holocaust that is currently ongoing in the Eastern Congo as this is being written. In fact, Jewish diamond merchants and owners of various gold and mineral mining corporations such as Anglo American have profited handsomely from the brutal conflict in which 5.4 million Africans have been slaughtered. According to corporatewatch.org in an article entitled The Vile Scramble for Loot: How British corporations are fuelling war in the DR Congo: British companies, such as Afrimex, Anglo American, and the Amalgamated Metal Corporation and others have played an instrumental role in this exploitation According to the British charity Save the Congo, You could take all lives lost in Bosnia, Rwanda 1994 and Darfur then add the 2005 Asian

545

tsunami, then add a 9-11 every single day for 356 days and then go through Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Put all of those together, multiply by 2 and you still dont reach the number of lives [...] lost in the DRC since the war started. The charity also reported that in Eastern DRC, [hundreds of thousands] of women and young girls have been brutally gang raped and around 40% of all adult women have been made widows.2 In a July 21, 2011 article by Marina Levinsky entitled Firms Fuelling 'Conflict Minerals' Violence, Report Says that appeared on the ipsglobalnet.org website, Levinsky discusses a recent report about the conflict produced by Global Witness and thus sums up the nature of the conflict as follows: The "conflict minerals" at the centre of the violence include cassiterite, coltan and wolframite, which are moved from the DRC, usually through Rwanda or Burundi, to East Asia where they are processed into valuable metals, like tin and tungsten, needed for electronics products. One of the companies featured in the report is THAISARCO, the world's fifth-largest tin-producing company, owned by British metals giant, Amalgamated Metal Corporation (AMC). THAISARCO's main supplier, Congo-based Panju, sells cassiterite and coltan from mines controlled by the FDLR. Another company is the British-based Afrimex, already found by the British government in 2008 to be in breach of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises for buying from suppliers who made payments to a rebel group. The British government has yet to take any concrete action on this information. Examining the motives behind the Yemen False Flag Operation, I have come to the conclusion that one of the primary reasons Yemen was chosen as the origination point of the toner cover-story was to enable the Obama administration the needed pretext by which to both hoodwink the American public in order to convince them to accept the TSA airport scanners and to enable the establishment of a covert base of operations from which to launch Obamas CIA run private drone war now being conducted against rogue elements of al-Quaeda in northern Africa and in support of Israeli military ambitions and objectives in the region, i.e., monitoring Irans nuclear capabilities. The CIA could then clean out the

546

bad elements that might attempt to retaliate when Israel decides to pull the trigger. Notice in the timeline laid out in Chapter 3 that on July 14th, 2011, Yemen suddenly came onto the IMF radar with a request to borrow $369 billion dollars in foreign aid which was readily approved only two short weeks later on August 2nd. I assert that this money is a de facto payment made by the United States through the IMF in exchange for the right of U.S. intelligence operators to stage drone attacks and to pretty much say whatever they feel is necessary to implement their dirty little war and assist in the aid of such operations as the implementation of TSAs fully body scanners in our nations airports over the objection of most American citizens. Thus, we had the sudden appearance of a terrorist threat a few days prior to the full implementation of the new policy. A few days after the alleged ink toner plot, we find TSAs John Pistole flying to Yemen to make a statement on terrorism from a remote hanger in Yemen in which he attempts to give the appearance that he is there for a State visit. He in fact spoke in front of a small group of individuals, and Yemen was allowed to complain that they had nothing to do with it. Thats the short version.

Chapter 7
Why Yemen?
False Flag Operations have many operational dimensions and components. In the case of the Yemen False Flag Operation, one of the primary goals was to hoodwink the American public into acquiescing to the encroachment by the U.S. government upon our personal liberty and the constitutionally guaranteed right from unlawful search and seizure. The TSA full-body pat downs and body scans are a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution which reads as follows:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Why fifty million Americans did not march on Washington in November of 2010 is beyond me other than the fact that our we have become a nation of fat, lazy, dumbed-down sheeple, rendered unconscious by the mainstream media with it nightly lullaby of yellow journalism snake-oil and propaganda. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams would have met the both the Bush and the Obama administrations at the tip of sword had this been 1776. But we are where we are and therefore things will remain status quo until the great awakening takes place, the one that is surely coming some day in the future when those with courage and fire in their belly for freedom and true democracy finally stand up and shout at the top of their lungs, enough is enough. We are almost there. I can feel it. In a false flag operation, each part of the message is served up to the public like a delectable seven course French supper, each morsel tantalizing to the consumers palate, each plate anticipating a follow-up, and each recipe instrumental to the outcome of the whole. The CIA model for the subversive overthrow of governments laid out in the introduction of this book attests to this fact, and it is quite likely that the 2010 TSA full body scanner operation was also being run by according to the CIAs playbook. The timeline in Chapter 3 was created to give the reader a perspective from which to see the big picture, something that may not be clear otherwise unless one is a student of foreign affairs or works in the

551

Mideast Affairs Department of the U.S. State Department or the CIA. What is included are news reports, government documents, and related bits and pieces of information that serve to lay out a solid case of circumstantial evidence from whence I draw my conclusion that the events which transpired were not mere coincidence, but rather a well orchestrated opera, with the fat lady singing at airports all around the nation as the maestro waved his magic baton on the CBS evening news the night the so-called terrorist plot was announced, while far off in the distance, CIA drones substituting for the canon fire in the 1812 overture delivered there deadly payload in remote North African landscapes. Before I address some of the individual data, I will first lay out a few basic facts that served for me as indicators that something was amiss in this deal from the get go, from the moment Katie Couric micd up and began her well rehearsed recital of the CIAs cookbook. First of all, Obama is from Chicago and I would assert that given Rahm Emmanuels successful bid to become the Mayor of Chicago, and the fact that his replacement as White House Chief of Staff to Obama was none other than William M. Daley, the brother of the outgoing Chicago Mayor that Obama and Co. have the Chicago political scene locked up tight, the implication being that they can pretty much make things happen in Chi-town at the drop of a hat, whether that be the concoction of cover stories for covert government action or the elicitation of support from donors and supporters no matter what the task at hand. Amazingly enough, of all places in the world, our mystery terrorists just happened to pick Chicago to send their packages, and on top of that, they just happened to pick Jewish targets. Rahm Emmanuel is Jewish and once served in the Israeli Defense Force. Interesting, is it not? Sometimes, when one begins lying and a little white lie gets expanded into a whopper, the soul of the liar becomes so tormented and corrupted that they just cant seem to stop and the outlandishness of the lies increases with each step of the way. So not only do we have bombs headed for Rhamobamaland, but on top of that we soon learn the astonishing fact from a Chicago Rabbi that one of the packages was addressed a particular synagogue being used by lesbians and homosexuals! Keep in mind around about this time the yellow journalists in the mainstream media began heavily pushing their homosexual and lesbian agendas in an effort to victimize gays and lesbians as targets of the GOP and evangelicals in order to help Obama push through and openly gay military policy. So what the heck, why not make queers a target of a renegade group of camel riding Yemeni terrorists? You just cant make this stuff up? It had me in stitches when it dawned on me what was really going on.

552

Hell boys, Im surprised that the imaginary package headed to the gay and lesbian congregation did not have a big ole Ku Klux Klan emblem emblazoned under the address, along with an NRA membership pledge, a return address to the Yemen based Tea Party, and the missing paragraph from the U.S. Constitution, what? This stuff reminds me of the Afghani Taliban commander that recently turned himself in for the $100 finders fee. It just doesnt get any better than this. And no, Im not kidding. According to the U.K. based Telegraph in an article entitled: Chicago Jews learn of bomb plot at their synagogue written by Philip Sherwell in Chicago on November 3r, 2012:
The package the Emanuel Synagogue's address bore the name of the Or Chadesh congregation, a small group for gay and lesbian Jews that uses the building alongside a mainstream congregation. Rabbi Zedek said that he had been told by "an extremely respected and well-placed figure" in the city's Jewish community that suspicious packages were sent from Yemen to at least four Chicago synagogues. "He told me, 'the good news is that the Emanuel congregation was not targeted, the bad news is that Or Chadesh was," Rabbi Zedek added. Rickie Jacobs, who runs the Emanuel Synagogue website, said that just two weeks ago she was unnerved when it received a mysterious 83 "hits" from an internet address in Egypt. The timing and the targeting of the president's home city could indicate that the plot was a deliberate attempt to garner maximum publicity. His inner circle at the White House has included two prominent Chicago Jewish figures David Axelrod, his chief political advisor, and Rahm Emanuel, his former chief of staff.
[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/yemen/8099263/ChicagoJews-learn-of-bomb-plot-at-their-synagogue.html]

And take a wild guess as to who was in Egypt running an NGO called the International Republican Institute at this time, and NGO that was being funded by the U.S. Government, andwho was rounded up in a crackdown on NGOs on January 21, 2012 and accused of not paying taxes, and sowing the seeds of discontent amongst the population of Egypt? None other than Sam LaHood, the son of Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, another member of the Chicago based Rhamobamaland gang. Now, Im not accusing either LaHood or a member of his NGO of surfing gay Jews websites, but it sure does look funny, Im just saying. Perhaps when LaHood is allowed back in to Egypt, he could ask around, although it doesnt look like he will be going

553

back anytime soon. LaHood was bailed out of Jail by his NGO, and managed to hide out in the U.S. Embassy until a deal was negotiated for his deportation out of the country. Now his Egyptian colleagues are the ones who left holding the bag and will have to answer to the Egyptian government on the trumped up charges. We can only wish them well, as the government goon squad in Egypt is well known for its propensity for brutality. In a recent blog post on the Washington Post, it is pointed out the Egyptians believe many of the NGOs including LaHoods IRI to be spying for the CIA.
Publicly, Naga and other Egyptian officials have accused the NGOs, including the U.S.-backed IRI, NDI and Freedom House, of working to sow unrest in Egypt. Documents from the case accused the groups of working to implement an American and Israeli plot against Egypt and accused the NGO workers of having links to the CIA. The U.S. government and the NGOs have denied the allegations. Nagas office has ignored repeated interview requests. Were all still very worried about our Egyptian colleagues who remain on trial. Were hopeful this can be resolved in a way that makes sense and is fair, LaHood said.

This toner cartridge bomb plot is a great storyline if you can sell it to the American public. The problem Obama and the TSA faced at the time and yet today is that the American public is not quite as gullible as it used to be, especially after being hoodwinked by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on the Bailouts just two short years prior. And the sour taste left in everyones mouth over Bushs Weapons of Mass Imagination didnt help matters. Add to that the recent advent of YouTube in 2005 which quite suddenly awakened the world like never before as folks could now share that which for all practical purposes was unknowable during the dark days of 9-11, and we suddenly had a volatile mix of information that literally scared the hell out societies elites and their fascist government puppets that could no longer keep the lid on state secrets. No longer could governments and politicians hide behind the cloak of mainstream yellow journalists working for CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News, and with the addition of hi-resolution cell phone cameras, a well-armed, world-wide group of truth seekers began setting the historical record straight. Governments could no longer hide from

554

their citizens the live news events and investigative journalism that was occurring across the globe unless the rise of censorship through fascism reared its ugly head. But just like clockwork, it did not take long before groups of selfproclaimed censors come upon the scene, the most notable being a highstrung group of Jewish kids that have already attempted to police YouTube by creating the JIDL or the Jewish Internet Defense League, a nervous bunch which attempts to squash any information they deem to be anti-semitic. Notice that I do not capitalize this word as a protest against semantic hijacking by a certain group of Jews hell-bent on seeing the world seeing the world as they be seeing the world. I just so happen to be seeing it differentlyimagine that. So why was Yemen picked as the epicenter of this operation? The answer to that lays in its geography and its close proximity to both our political allies, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, the State of Israel, and our stated enemies, a group of specific mid-eastern countries that have recently been targeted for regime change first by the Bush Administration and now by Obama.

In a series of speeches delivered in 2007 related to a book tour for his newly released book, A Time to Lead: For Duty, Honor and Country, retired four star General Wesley Clark let the cat out the bag on the truth behind the Bush family regimes foreign policy coup d'tat. The following is a synopsis and a couple of quotes from the message that he delivered to his audiences:
Around about 1991, Under-Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz informed General Clark that it was the intent of the George H.W. Bush government war planners to overthrow the old Soviet satellite regimes of Syria, and others. Clark goes on to say that again, ten years later, he was in the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 10 days after 9-11 and was pulled into the office of a three-star general that informed him were going to invade Iraq. Clark asked the general why, and then asked him if a link had been found between 9-11 and Saddam Hussein. The reply from the three-star was no, I dont know whythey just dont know what to do about terrorism, but they know that the army can take down Iraq and invade his government. Clark returned to Washington about six weeks later and visited the same general and asked him if we were still going to invade Iraq. The general picked up a piece of paper and stated: Oh sir, its worse than that, this is a memo I just got from the third floor (office of Secretary of Defense) that outlines a five year campaign strategywere going to go first into Iraq, then Syria, then Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and then Iran, five years, seven countries.

Lets take stock of the current regime change situation: Iraq is done, Libya is done, Yemen is on board (thanks to a CIA led regime change in the summer of 2011), and Somalia is currently a work in progress, Lebanon was a failed operation attempted by Israel but stopped by overwhelming and negative world opinion, Sudan is in the planning stages and Iran is currently in Israels gun sights. For all practical purposes, the U.S. and Israel are partners in crime in this caper, so when one acts it can be rest assured that both have in fact acted. An article entitled The CIAs Secret Sites in Somalia by Jeremy Scahill and published in the The Nation.com on July 12, 2011 states:
Nestled in a back corner of Mogadishus Aden Adde International Airport is a sprawling walled compound run by the Central Intelligence Agency. Set on the coast of the Indian Ocean, the facility looks like a small gated community, with more than a dozen buildings behind large protective walls and secured by guard towers at each of its four corners. Adjacent to the compound are eight large metal hangars, and the CIA has its own aircraft at the airport. The site, which airport officials and Somali intelligence sources say was completed four months ago, is guarded by Somali soldiers, but the Americans control access. At the facility, the CIA runs a counterterrorism training program for Somali intelligence agents and operatives aimed at building an indigenous strike force capable of snatch operations and targeted combat operations against members of Al Shabab, an Islamic militant group with close ties to Al Qaeda.

The article goes on to detail some of the operations that have been conducted by the Obama administration in Somalia to include the assassination of terrorists known to be operating in the area.

From the CIA World Factbook, we learn that Gerald M. Feierstein is the United States Ambassador to Yemen. Mr. Feierstein has been a MidEast hand with the State Dept. since graduating from college in the early 1970s. He has served in Islamabad, Pakistan (1976-1078), Tunis (19831985) Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (1985-1987), Peshawar, Pakistan (19891992), Muscat, Oman (1995-1998), Jerusalem, Israel (1998-2001), Beirut, Lebanon (2003-2004), Islamabad, Pakistan (2008-2010), and since September of 2010, Yemen. Feiersteins most significant post as relates to the topic of this book was during the years 2006-2008 in which he was the Principal Deputy Assistant Coordinator and Deputy Assistant Coordinator of Programs in the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism.

Feierstein is now running cover for CIA ops in Yemen, and according to the most recent news report coming out of Yemen, many Yeminis are not happy with this situation. In an article entitled: American Drone Strikes Provoke Yemenis Against Interim Government published on February 2nd, 2012 in the Yemen Times, Shatha Al-Harazi, and Anas Rawi point out the following:
ABYAN, Feb. 1 Many Yemenis, and especially those in Abyan governorate, are blaming the new government for a loss of sovereignty after a US drone strike killed 11 Al-Qaeda members on Yemeni soil on Monday. One of the reasons the public protested against the regime last year was its record of allowing the US to take military actions on Yemeni lands as part of their counter-terrorism strategy. The National Unity government was expected to assuage public anger and act on its demands. Its frustrating that the National Unity government could not keep Yemeni sovereignty on Yemeni air and land, but they do face big challenges...it is early to blame them said Mohammed al-Said, Abyan local council member. Al-Said added however that the council can't offer any reassurances to Abyan citizens that such strikes won't hit them or that their lives are safe. The local council has been marginalized for six months now as a result of the governorate's security situation. One of the threats in the area is these drone strikes, he said. Saeed Al-Jumhi, a research specialist in terrorism and militant groups, said that what happened doesn't necessarily indicate anything negative against the upcoming president or that he might have relatives with links to Al-Qaeda. However, Al-Jumhi said that if the upcoming president does have relatives linked to Al-Qaeda, this might provide an opportunity to fight terrorism. For his part, Al-Jumahi warned that American drone activity could allow terrorist groups to grab public sympathy fast, allowing them to recruit more members. The military attacks against these groups will help in eliminating two or three or even ten terrorists but on the other hand will provide the militant groups with acceptable excuses for being in the area. This will make people stand on their sides and picture the situation as an American invasion of Yemen. Al-Jumahi explained that the National Unity Government faces many challenges in running the country and gaining control over the situation. One of the biggest dangers is that the government could lose control of Aden, one of Yemen's biggest cities. Therefore, the new government's international

557

relationships, and especially its relationship with the US, will be even weaker since the US sponsored the very deal that put them in power. The fact that the government is not in harmony being as it is a mix between what the regime and the opposition was - they cannot prevent the Americans from attacking Yemeni lands, especially since the US has had permission to do so for a long time.

From this article we glean several salient facts: The United States Government under the Obama Administration has continued George W. Bushs Policy of Pre-emptive Strike; 2. Obama is indeed fighting a dirty war using the CIA as his own personal hit squad in the name of the so-called War on Terror; 3. The current government of Yemen was established with the help of the support of the U.S. Government which translates to CIA covert action and regime change; 4. The situation appears to be ripe for further and direct U.S. Intervention; 5. The current regime is keeping their mouths shut after having received $369 billion dollars in U.S./ IMF aid. [*See Timeline in
Chapter 3, and CIA Facts in Appendix I.]

6. Many average citizens of Yemen feel frustrated and powerless to stop what many perceive to be an invasion of their Sovereignty by the United States. Ever since the Obama Administrations push to remove President Saleh and install its puppet government in Yemen, dozens of journalists have been booted out of the country, especially during the protests in the summer of 2011. [http://wlcentral.org/node/1470] According to an article entitled Journalist Expelled from Yemen & Al Jazeera Journalist Threatened with Kidnapping of Children submitted to WL Central, (The #1 unofficial Wikileaks resource) on March 15th, 2011, we learn the following:
The journalists deported were: Oliver Holmes (Wall Street Journal, Time) Portia Walker (Daily Telegraph, Washington Post) Haley Sweetland Edwards who had returned to Yemen for a few weeks, (Los Angeles Times, Atlantic) and Joshua Maricich, a climbing enthusiast, photographer and researcher who had recently written a government supported book on Yemen.

558

This same incident was also reported in the UK Guardian under the headline: Yemen expels four foreign journalists amid fears of clampdown.
[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/14/yemen-expels-four-foreign-journalists]

And in the same message thread, we learn that Yemeni protestors wrote an open letter to President Obama with the following message:
As spiritual leaders of our community, we are deeply concerned about violence against peaceful protesters in Yemen, including credible medical reports about the use of neurotoxic agents in violation of the Geneva Convention. Although you did not create the policy of befriending corrupt dictators who kill and torture their citizens, you will still be held morally accountable for the suffering inflicted by those the US befriends. For years your predecessor in the White House told us that hostility towards America in the Arab world arose from the fact that "They hate our freedoms." Now we see peaceful civilians around the Arab and Muslim world who are giving their lives for free and fair elections, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, habeas corpus and the right of free association. If we truly support these values, not only for ourselves in the privileged West but for others around the world, we cannot stand silent when unarmed protesters are attacked by the army, security forces, riot police or thugs. Please speak out in protection of the people of Yemen and Bahrain. The war crimes must stop.

What these protestors were not privy too was the fact that it was the Obama administration that was instigating and funding the protests through USAID as part of the overall plan to overthrow of Ali Abdullah Saleh. The fact that western journalists were booted out of the country in the process is of no consequence to the U.S. Government as long as the endgame of regime change is achieved. I suggest the reader take the time to read the U.S. government cables that were recently declassified by Wikileaks and their media partners to include the New York Times, the UK Guardian, Rolling Stone Magazine, and a half a dozen other liberal news organizations. In these documents it becomes apparent as to just how adept our generals and diplomats are at coddling a dictator with a bag of dollars in one hand while sticking him in the back with regime change in the otherall in the name of the War of Terror. President Saleh to his betrayal felt comfortable enough with his handlers to express that if the Saudis assisted in going after pirate in the Gulf of Aden that he had no objection if they happened to be smuggling whiskeyas long as it was good whiskey.

The following background information from the CIA World Factbook will serve to shed some light onto the political situation as it unfolded over the past couple of decades in Yemen:

Background
North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. The British, who had set up a protectorate area around the southern port of Aden in the 19th century, withdrew in 1967 from what became South Yemen. Three years later, the southern government adopted a Marxist orientation. The massive exodus of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis from the south to the north contributed to two decades of hostility between the states. The two countries were formally unified as the Republic of Yemen in 1990. A southern secessionist movement in 1994 was quickly subdued. In 2000, Saudi Arabia and Yemen agreed to a delimitation of their border. Fighting in the northwest between the government and Huthi rebels, a group seeking a return to traditional Zaydi Islam, began in 2004 and has since resulted in six rounds of fighting - the last ended in early 2010 with a ceasefire that continues to hold. The southern secessionist movement was revitalized in 2008 when a popular socioeconomic protest movement initiated the prior year took on political goals including secession. Public rallies in Sana'a against President SALIH - inspired by similar demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt - slowly built momentum starting in late January 2011 fueled by complaints over high unemployment, poor economic conditions, and corruption. By the following month, some protests had resulted in violence, and the demonstrations had spread to other major cities. By March the opposition had hardened its demands and was unifying behind calls for SALIH's immediate ouster. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in late April 2011, in an attempt to mediate the crisis in Yemen, proposed an agreement in which the president would step down in exchange for immunity from prosecution. SALIH's refusal to sign an agreement led to heavy street fighting and his injury in an explosion in June 2011. The UN Security Council passed Resolution 2014 in October 2011 calling on both sides to end the violence and complete a power transfer deal. In late November 2011, President SALIH signed the GCC-brokered agreement to step down and to transfer some of his powers to Vice President Abd al-Rabuh Mansur HADI. Following elections in February 2012, won by HADI, SALIH formally transferred his powers.

Interestingly enough, as the CIA ramped up its drone war in Yemen, one of President Salehs envoys was mistakenly killed as reported in the Wall Street Journal on June 14, 2011 in an article entitled CIA Plans Yemen Drone Strikes; Covert Program Would Be a Major Expansion of

560

U.S. Efforts to Kill Members of al Qaeda Branch. According to the article:

The U.S. military narrowed its criteria after a botched strike in May 2010, when U.S. missiles mistakenly killed one of Mr. Saleh's envoys and an unknown number of other people. That strike infuriated Mr. Saleh and sparked a debate in the Obama administration over whether to target only known militants, such as Mr. Awlaki, or to continue a broader campaign of airstrikes aimed at weakening al Qaeda through attrition.

Are you beginning to see the big picture here? The intelligent mind should now be led to question the details surrounding both the logistics and timing of the bomb and perhaps further inquiry in to just who it really was that set off the explosion that which Saleh around the 3rd of June a month later. [*note in the CIA
Factbook, Saleh is spelled Salih]

Notice that the CIAs World Factbook background information states that his refusal to sign off on stepping down from power led to his overthrow. Curious is it not? Perhaps this is the CIAs version of the character Don Corleone in the Godfather making Salih an offer he could not refuse, in this case: Step down, or well take your life. By now, I am quite certain that a few bells may be are going off about now as the reader connects the dots to the Yemen False Flag Operation and the current political situation and CIA private war being ramped up in both Yemen and Somalia. Remember, that Somalia is next on Obamas hit list and is just across the water from Yemen. By blaming the so-called ink toner bombs on Yemen, the Obama Administration killed two birds with one stone: Set up the fix for the CIAs Yemen regime-change operation and allow for the establishment of a CIA base for illegal U.S. drone strikes. 2. Attempted to legitimize the implementation of the TSAs full body pat downs and body scans by convincing we the people that those oh so scary terrorist operating out of Yemen are out to get us, in full violation of our 4th Amendment Rights under the U.S. Constitution. I dont know about you, but I just aint scared. You want to know why? Well, to start with, I read the Director of Intelligences Threat 1.

561

Assessment at the beginning of this book and believed what I read given it was a matter of public record presented to the U.S. Congress. Matter of fact, I am downright bemused that the Zionist leaning diplomats running the Middle and Near Eastern Branches of the U.S. State Department actually think we the people are that gullible. Of course the State Dept. no longer care what we the people think. This is made clear in an AP news wire article written by Kimberly Dozier entitled CIA Building Secret Air Base in Persian Gulf Region, AP Reports and published on cnsnews.com on June 15, 2011 that expresses the boldness in which they are now conducting their illicit war in Yemen:
Yemeni officials have indicated their preference toward drones, versus allowing U.S. counterterror strike teams on Yemeni soil, saying they are less apt to incense the local population. But the new base would enable continued operations without Yemeni approval. The U.S. needs to keep the pressure on, to break al-Qaida's momentum there, the State Department's counterterror coordinator, Daniel Benjamin, said Tuesday. There are growing concerns that AQAP will use the chaos to acquire more weapons, and also to fuel connections between al-Qaidalinked militants there and al-Shabab insurgents in Somalia, he added. The Obama administration has been working for months in concert with the mediation efforts of Yemen's Gulf neighbors to persuade Saleh to transfer power. Saleh was evacuated for emergency medical treatment in Saudi Arabia, after being hit by explosive devices planted in the presidential mosque more than a week ago.

Am I the only one that finds it odd that Jewish names keep popping up as the overseeing warlords to Americas so-called War on Terror? I am beginning to believe that the Zionist element that now makes up over 30% of the personnel in U.S. Department of States Middle Eastern and Near Eastern Affairs Divisions are fighting their own private war at U.S. taxpayer expense in support of the ultimate goal of having Israel being the dominant Middle Eastern Power Broker. In fact, I had thought to title this chapter: Where have all the Gentiles gone in the U.S. State Department? Counter Terrorism Coordinator Daniel Benjamin is Jewish and has worked as a journalist for both Time and the Wall Street Journal. He also served on the National Security Council from 1994 to 1999. From 20062009 he worked for the Brookings Institute, a hawkish leaning think tank with left-wing credential that defends all things Zionist. Andrew Ross Sorkin, in an article entitled Schlepping to Moguldom that appeared in the New York Times on September 5, 2004, describes how Israeli media

562

mogul Haim Saben founded the Brookings Institutes Saban Center for Middle East Policy: Background Facts on Haim Saban:
A self-described "cartoon schlepper," Mr. Saban became a billionaire by turning the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers into a global franchise that he merged with Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and, in 2001, sold to the Walt Disney Company for $5.3 billion. He has since emerged as perhaps the most politically connected mogul in Hollywood, throwing his weight and money around Washington and, increasingly, the world, trying to influence all things Israeli. "I'm a one-issue guy and my issue is Israel," he said in his first extensive interview in years. In 2002, he pledged $13 million to start a research organization at the Brookings Institution called the Saban Center for Middle East Policy. Sorkin: Why is he so supportive of Israel? Haim: It is the right thing for us to do to be supportive of Israel. The reasons go back to the beginning of time. I think that any resolution will have to go both on the Palestinian side and Israeli side to some form of civil war. It's not going to be without spilling blood. Saban on the Patriot Act: I'm a Democrat for the reinforcement of the Patriot Act. It's not strong enough. The A.C.L.U. can eat their heart out, but they are living in the 1970's. We should all have ID's. You betcha. What do you have to hide? Some friends of mine on the left side think I'm crazy

One must ask how is it possible that anyone would take seriously the research coming out of a think tank whose founder is an egocentric and bigoted Zionist that wishes to stomp on U.S. Citizens First, Fourth, and Sixth U.S. Constitutional Amendment Rights. I personally have a few spare words for Haim Saban:

How dare you sir come to America and attempting to buy fascism with a fist full of dollars! I recommend you move your Saban Center of Apartheid back to Israel where it belongs!

563

Just recently, on April 18th, 2012, the tainted Brookings Institute Saban Center ran an article entitled Testing the Israel Lobby Thesis, written by none other than Itamar Rabinovich, the Bronfman Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Saban Center for Middle East Policy. Rabinovich was the Israeli ambassador to the United States during the Clinton administration from 1993-1996. He was also the President of Tel Aviv University. The article is my opinion is amateurish coming from a man presumably schooled in statecraft. It is basically his own personal rant against the groundbreaking work presented in an essay written by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt entitled The Israel Lobby, which blew the lid off the reality of the Zionist takeover of the U.S. State Department and the stranglehold AIPAC has over the U.S. Government. Professor John Mearsheimer is a distinguished professor and Chairman of the Political Science Department at the University of Chicago. Stephen Walt is a distinguished Harvard Professor of International Affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government. You may read the entire essay which was later turned into a book at the London Review of Books website:
[http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/john-mearsheimer/the-israel-lobby]

The following is the official description of Mearsheimer and Walts Book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, published by Farrar,

564

Straus and Giroux on August 27, 2007, under ISBN # 0374177724. It is available at most online bookstores:
The Israel Lobby," by John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, was one of the most controversial articles in recent memory. Originally published in the London Review of Books in March 2006, it provoked both howls of outrage and cheers of gratitude for challenging what had been a taboo issue in America: the impact of the Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy. Now in a work of major importance, Mearsheimer and Walt deepen and expand their argument and confront recent developments in Lebanon and Iran. They describe the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds. This exceptional relationship is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. Mearsheimer and Walt provocatively contend that the lobby has a far-reaching impact on America's posture throughout the Middle East--in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--and the policies it has encouraged are in neither America's national interest nor Israel's long-term interest. The lobby's influence also affects America's relationship with important allies and increases dangers that all states face from global jihadist terror.

Professor Mearsheimers latest book, Why Leaders Lie, published by Oxford University Press in 2011 under ISBN #978-0715641569, is also a compelling read for the student of covert ops and false flag operations. In a book review of Why Leaders Lie written by Alexander Barker entitled International Deceit that appeared in the Issue 17.1, October, 2011 of The Oxonian Review, it is noted: Why Leaders Lie offers two contributions to our understanding of dishonesty
in foreign policy. The first is the initially counterintuitive finding that states lie to each other relatively rarely, and that it is democratic leaders who are most likely to lie to their own populations.
[http://www.oxonianreview.org/wp/international-deceit/]

Ambassador Rabinovich, writing for the Zionist Saban Center, somehow feels compelled to go on the defensive time and time again as if a sharp truth is cutting deep inside him. Quite amazingly, Rabinovich actually had the nerve to quote Jewish carnie barker and side showman Abe Foxman. For G-ds sake was my first thought are you kidding me? Why would someone of high esteem such as an ex-Israeli Ambassador to the United States quote the vilest prevaricating Zionist Jew on the planetunless he has something to hide, defend, or attempt to sell to the U.S. Taxpayer? In this case, I must assume that Rabinovich simply cannot stand to read or hear the truth when it comes from Americans who disagree with his point of view. In his op-ed, he states the following:
The books publication was then accompanied by an anti-book, Abe Foxmans refutation of the main arguments raised by the original essay. Both remain on the top ten foreign affairs hardcover best-seller list. It is fair to say, then, that if the authors merely wanted to revive and upgrade conversation about a subject that, contrary to their own protestations, has long been with usat least since Congressman Paul Findley published They Dare Speak Out in 1985, George Ball wrote The Passionate Attachment in 1992, and Senator J. William Fulbright referred to the Congress as Israeli occupied territorythen they have succeeded.

By digging into a limited list of whose who, we have now uncovered more circumstantial evidence in support of our assertion that the Yemen False Flag Operation was part and parcel of the embedded Middle East Takeover Policy of the Zionists in charge of the U.S. State Department. We started this section by looking into the background of Daniel Benjamin. Lets continue. After serving as the Senior Fellow of Foreign Policy Studies at The Brooking Institution, he joined up with the State Department, where he now serves as the Coordinator for counter-

566

terrorism. His rank is Ambassador at Large, which presumes he is given a lot of flexibility as to where he goes and what he does. According to the State Departments Bureau of Counter-Terrorism Website:
International terrorism threatens the United States, its allies and interests, and the world community. Defeating the terrorist enemy requires sound policies, concerted U.S. Government effort, and international cooperation. [Editorial Note: The one idea I agree with is sound policies, unfortunately when a whole arm of the U.S. Government has been hijacked by bigoted Zionist, such statements are reduced to the status of pure rhetoric] Led by Ambassador-at-Large Daniel Benjamin, the primary mission of the Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) is to forge partnerships with non-state actors, multilateral organizations, and foreign governments to advance the counterterrorism objectives and national security of the United States. Working with our U.S. Government counterterrorism team, CT takes a leading role in developing coordinated strategies to defeat terrorists abroad and in securing the cooperation of international partners.

Benjamins name comes up in a December 4th, 2010 New York Times article that describes U.S. State Department Cables leaked to Wikileaks about dealings with the government of Yemen. The tenor of these cables is that President Saleh of Yemen is a wild-card in the War on Terror and may not be trustworthy, which led me to the conclusion that the Wikileaks cables were carefully scripted documents of both information and laced with disinformation intentionally put out by the State Department and the CIA to set the stage for the ultimate regime change that has now occurred. The timing of the cables leads me to believe that Julian Assange may have been taken for a big ole ride courtesy of Uncle Sams CIA and what may turn out to be one of the most sophisticated intelligence operation ever cooked up in support of Israel. The timing of the release of the cables was just too coincidental to the events at hand.

The Three Wise Men of Zion

Daniel Benjamin, Coordinator for Counterterrorism at U.S. Depart. of State

Gerald Feierstein, US Ambassador to Yemen

Jeffrey D. Feltman, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs

A picture is worth a thousand words, or in this case these pictures attest to the fact that there are a disproportionate number of Jews controlling the U.S. Department of State

568

I would also like to reiterate that Daniel Benjamin was once on the Wall Street Journals payroll and Time Magazine. His journalist background fits perfectly into the historical context of past CIA covert operations that were laid out in the first chapter of this book. Working arm in arm with Daniel Benjamin in implementing regime change in Yemen is another man of Jewish ancestry, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman. Feltman has a lengthy resume of service to the region, especially in the Gaza strip where he has participated in the so-called Israeli and Palestinian peace process. Assessments of this character have been mixed depending upon which group of Palestinians or Israelis is making the assessment. And lets make one thing clear. The fact that I point out these men are of Jewish decent has no bearing on their professionalism or competency. The question mark would lie with where their loyalty lies, but technically since the United States official position is to support Israel at all costs, then questioning their loyalty also becomes a mute point other than I find the whole setup questionable as regards the benefits that actually accrue to the United States as a nation and our esteem among nations as a member of the world community at large. Feltman was quick on the scene in Yemen after President Saleh was hit by an explosion at his palace mosque on or around June 3rd, 2011 that resulted in serious injury to his person. Feltman was photographed sitting with Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, the vice president of Yemen on Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011 discussing the U.S. Governments desire to remove Saleh from power. On June 23rd, 2011 an article about his visit appeared in Al Jazeera entitled US envoy urges speedy transition in Yemen. The article notes the following:
A senior US state department official has called for an "immediate" transfer of power in Yemen after a meeting with the countrys vice president and acting leader. We continue to believe that an immediate, peaceful, and orderly transition is in the best interest of the Yemeni people," Feltman said. "We urge all sides to engage in dialogue that peacefully moves Yemen forward. Feltman again endorsed a plan created by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), under which Saleh would relinquish power within 30 days in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Saleh refused to sign the deal on several occasions. Jeffrey Feltman, the US assistant secretary of state for near eastern affairs, told reporters on Thursday that Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh should approve a quick transition to a new government. Feltman's remarks came after a meeting on Wednesday with Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, Yemens vice president.

569

Hadi has been at least nominally in charge of Yemen since Saleh travelled to Riyadh for medical treatment earlier this month. Saleh was injured in an explosion at his palace mosque.

Feltman has been in and out of Yemen ever since, with his latest four day visit announced on March 25th, 2012. According to an AFP report entitled Top US diplomat to visit Yemen in 4-day tour:
A top US diplomat is to arrive in Yemens capital, Sanaa to meet with senior government officials and activists as the US-backed Yemeni government fears for its stability. US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman will arrive in the capital on Sunday and his visit will last until Wednesday, AFP reported. Former dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled Yemen for 33 years, stepped down in February under a US-backed power transfer deal in return for immunity after nearly a year of mass street protests against his rule. His deputy, Hadi, a UK-trained field marshal, replaced him on February 25 following a single-candidate presidential election backed by the United States and Saudi Arabia. Hadi will serve for an interim two-year-long period as stipulated by the power transfer deal.

Jeremy Scahill, a sharp young investigative reporter for The Nation describes the current situation as follows:
Obama, though, did something that President Bush had only done once, to my knowledge, and that is to start to bomb Yemen. On December 17th, 2009, President Obama authorized cruise missile strikes against Yemen, and they smashed into a remote village in Abyan province called al-Majala and killed more than 40 Bedouins. And when that incident happened, on December 17th, 2009, the Yemeni government took responsibility for those bombings and said that it was a counterterrorism operation that had it succeeded, that a number of al-Qaeda people were killed. There were even reports that Awlaki himself was killed. Well, it turns out that, in fact, it was a U.S. missile strike, that it was Tomahawk cruise missiles. In fact, we were able to interview people from that village: one woman who lost seven members of her family; another man, 17 members of his family. It was a dirt poor Bedouin village that was hit. There was only one man that anyone in the area could identify as having any connection to al-Qaeda, and it washe was a mujahideen during the war in Afghanistan, which, of course, the United States was supporting the mujahideen during the mujahideen war in the 1980s. That then kicked off a series of air strikes. The Obama administration began an air war in Yemen. Sometimes the strikes hit the people that were the intended targets, but oftentimes civilians were killed. And so, what happened is that the prophecy envisioned by the leaders of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and envisioned by Anwar al-Awlaki, came

570

true. And that was that the United States intended to turn Yemen into its next Afghanistan, its next Iraq, its next Pakistan. So you had the one-two punchor actually, there were three punches. The first one is the air strikes. The second one is supporting Saleh family military units. And then the third is not funding any humanitarian programs and allowing the vast majority of the U.S. money to go toward units which were then used as agents of domestic repression.

What follows is the text of a cable leaked to Wikileaks that collaborates

Cahills allegations: 1. (S/NF) SUMMARY: Commander of the U.S. Central Command General David Petraeus congratulated President Saleh on recent successful operations against AQAP, and informed him that U.S. security assistance to the ROYG would increase to USD 150 million in 2010, including USD 45 million to equip and train a CT-focused aviation regiment under the Yemeni Special Operations Forces. Saleh requested that the U.S. provide 12 armed helicopters and train and equip three new Republican Guard brigades. Saleh rejected the General's proposal to have USG personnel armed with direct-feed intelligence present inside the area of CT operations, but agreed to a have U.S. fixed-wing bombers circle outside Yemeni territory ready to engage AQAP targets should actionable intelligence become available. END SUMMARY. SALEH: HELICOPTERS, HELICOPTERS, HELICOPTERS -------------------------------------------2. (S/NF) CENTCOM Commander General David Petraeus, accompanied by the Ambassador, CENTCOM aides, the Embassy DATT, and EconOff note taker, congratulated President Saleh on successful operations against AQAP during a January 2 meeting. The General told Saleh that he had requested USD 150 million in security assistance for 2010, a substantial increase over the 2009 amount of USD 67 million. Also present were Minister of Defense MG Muhammed Nasser Ahmad Ali and Deputy Prime Minister for Defense and Security Affairs Rashad al-Alimi. Raising a topic that he would manage to insert into almost every item of discussion during the hour and half-long meeting, Saleh requested that the U.S. provide the ROYG with 12 armed helicopters. Possessing such helicopters would allow the ROYG to take the lead in future CT operations, "ease" the use of fighter jets and cruise missiles against terrorist targets, and allow Yemeni Special Operations Forces to capture terrorist suspects and identify victims following strikes, according to Saleh. The U.S. could convince Saudi Arabia and the UAE to supply six helicopters each if the American "bureaucracy" prevented quick approval, Saleh suggested. The General responded that he had already considered the ROYG's request for helicopters and was in discussions with Saudi Arabia on the matter. "We won't use the helicopters in Sa'ada, I promise. Only against al-Qaeda," Saleh told General Petraeus.

571

3. (S/NF) Saleh agreed to General Patraeus' proposal to dedicate USD 45 million of 2010 security assistance funds to help establish and train a YSOF aviation regiment, allowing YSOF to focus on al-Qaeda targets and leaving Sa'ada air operations to the Yemeni Air Force. Without giving much detail, Saleh also requested that the U.S. equip and train three new Republican Guard brigades, totaling 9,000 soldiers. "Equipping these brigades would reflect upon our true partnership," Saleh said. The General urged Saleh to focus first on the YSOF aviation regiment. AQAP STRIKES: CONCERN FOR CIVILIAN CASUALTIES 4. (S/NF) Saleh praised the December 17 and 24 strikes against AQAP but said that "mistakes were made" in the killing of civilians in Abyan. The General responded that the only civilians killed were the wife and two children of an AQAP operative at the site, prompting Saleh to plunge into a lengthy and confusing aside with Deputy Prime Minister Alimi and Minister of Defense Ali regarding the number of terrorists versus civilians killed in the strike. (Comment: Saleh's conversation on the civilian casualties suggests he has not been well briefed by his advisors on the strike in Abyan, a site that the ROYG has been unable to access to determine with any certainty the level of collateral damage. End Comment.) AQAP leader Nassr al-Wahishi and extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki may still be alive, Saleh said, but the December strikes had already caused al-Qaeda operatives to turn themselves in to authorities and residents in affected areas to deny refuge to al-Qaeda. Saleh raised the issue of the Saudi Government and Jawf governorate tribal sheikh Amin al-Okimi, a subject that is being reported through other channels. 5. (S/NF) President Obama has approved providing U.S. intelligence in support of ROYG ground operations against AQAP targets, General Petraeus informed Saleh. Saleh reacted coolly, however, to the General's proposal to place USG personnel inside the area of operations armed with real-time, direct feed intelligence from U.S. ISR platforms overhead. "You cannot enter the operations area and you must stay in the joint operations center," Saleh responded. Any U.S. casualties in strikes against AQAP would harm future efforts, Saleh asserted. Saleh did not have any objection, however, to General Petraeus' proposal to move away from the use of cruise missiles and instead have U.S. fixed-wing bombers circle outside Yemeni territory, "out of sight," and engage AQAP targets when actionable intelligence became available. Saleh lamented the use of cruise missiles that are "not very accurate" and welcomed the use of aircraft-deployed precision-guided bombs instead. "We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours," Saleh said, prompting Deputy Prime Minister Alimi to joke that he had just "lied" by telling Parliament that the bombs in Arhab, Abyan, and Shebwa were American-made but deployed by the ROYG. 7. (S/NF) Pointing to the ROYG's problems in combating rampant drug and arms smuggling, Saleh told General Petraeus that U.S. maritime security

572

assistance was insufficient to cover Yemen's nearly 2,000 km of coastline. "Why not have Italy, Germany, Holland, Japan, Saudi, and the UAE each provide two patrol boats?" Saleh suggested. The General told Saleh that two fully-equipped 87-foot patrol boats destined for the Yemeni Coast Guard were under construction and would arrive in Yemen within a year. Saleh singled out smuggling from Djibouti as particularly troublesome, claiming that the ROYG had recently intercepted four containers of Djibouti-origin TNT. "Tell (Djiboutian President) Ismail Guelleh that I don't care if he smuggles whiskey into Yemen -- provided it's good whiskey ) but not drugs or weapons," Saleh joked. Saleh said that smugglers of all stripes are bribing both Saudi and Yemeni border officials. 8. (S/NF) Saleh told the General that he welcomed PM Gordon Brown's announcement of the London conference and said that the cooperation on Yemen between the U.S., EU, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE would be benefitial. Qatar should not be involved, however, because "they work with Iran." In this regard, Saleh also identified Qatar as one of those nations working "against Yemen," along with Iran, Libya, and Eritrea.

The casual manner in which these gentlemen conduct their war is incomprehensible, but again, they are living in a manufactured chaos that seems to have no rules. But there remains one question that the reader should be asking about now: Other than being in the region for the support of the Apartheid State of Israel, what else is at stake in Yemen? For the answer to that question, we need to look no further than in the annual report of a well known California based oil company called Oxy, or Occidental Petroleum.

Chapter 8
Occidental not Accidental Since oil is never mentioned in the same breath as Yemen by either President Obama or State Department regime change facilitator Jeffrey Feltman, it might be hard for one to make the connection. Even the CIAs assessment of Yemen states that the nation is suffering from declining oil revenues. So what gives? My guess is that there is plenty of oil left to be found in Yemen that has yet to be exploited and that U.S. oil companies are simply waiting until the regime change is complete, al-Qaeda has been wiped out, and then major investments will once again start to pour in and those oil revenues will suddenly enrich both Yemen and the U.S. oil companies, dependent upon what kind of deal they strike. I imagine deals are being facilitated as this is being written while the United States is still in the drivers seat calling the shots with the newly installed Yemini administration. What was that my liberal political friends? You thought Obama didnt care about oil? Occidental is currently pulling out a combined total of around 27,000 barrels of oil and gas per day out of Yemen and around 382,000 out of the Middle East combined to include Bahrain, Dolphin, Iraq, Libya, Oman, Qatar, and Yemen. Oxys total mid-east oil production, y equals roughly 147 MMBL per day. For arguments sake, lets peg oil at $80 per barrel. Multiplying 147,000 barrels x $80 x 365 Days per year = $4.3 Billion dollar per year. Oil prices recently have been above $100. But why speculate when we can read the quarterly reports and related news releases. What we will find is that my estimate is a bit low, as I dont expect oil prices to continue above $100 per barrel for the whole year. I could be wrong. According to Oxys First Quarter 10k news release:
April 26, 2012 07:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time Occidental Petroleum Announces First Quarter of 2012 Income Q1 2012 net income of $1.6 billion ($1.92 per diluted share) Q1 2012 total daily oil and gas production of 755,000 barrels of oil equivalent, the highest in Occidentals history Q1 2012 domestic daily oil and gas production of 455,000 barrels of oil equivalent, record for the 6th consecutive quarter. LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:OXY) announced net income of $1.6 billion ($1.92 per diluted share) for

575

the first quarter of 2012, compared with the first quarter of 2011 net income of $1.5 billion ($1.90 per diluted share). In announcing the results, Stephen I. Chazen, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, For the quarter, we generated strong results with diluted EPS of $1.92 per share, cash flow from operations of $2.8 billion and annualized ROE of 16 percent. We increased our annual dividend rate by $0.32 per share, or 17 percent, to $2.16 per share. Our first quarter total company production of 755,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day was the highest in Occidentals history and our domestic production of 455,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day was a record for the sixth consecutive quarter. We are the largest liquids producer in the lower 48 states and we increased our domestic liquids production by 6,000 barrels per day from the fourth quarter of 2011 and 35,000 barrels a day, or 12 percent, from the first quarter of 2011. Oil and Gas Oil and gas segment earnings were slightly higher at $2.5 billion for the first quarter of 2012, compared with the first quarter of 2011. Higher oil prices and total sales volumes in the first quarter of 2012 were partially offset by higher operating costs, increased DD&A rates and lower natural gas prices. For the first quarter of 2012, daily oil and gas production volumes averaged 755,000 barrels of oil equivalent, compared with 730,000 barrels of oil equivalent in the first quarter of 2011. As a result of higher year-over-year average oil prices and other factors affecting production-sharing and similar contracts, production was lower in the Middle East/North Africa, Colombia, and Long Beach by 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The first quarter 2012 production volume increase was a result of 51,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day higher domestic volumes, partially offset by reduced volumes in the Middle East/North Africa and Colombia. The across-theboard domestic increase reflects the positive impact of our higher capital programs. The Middle East/North Africa was lower due to the December expiration of Yemens Masila Field contract and price impacts on production-sharing contracts, partially offset by higher Libya production, including additional entitlements related to the post civil unrest period. Colombia daily volumes decreased due to higher insurgent activity resulting in pipeline interruptions. Daily sales volumes increased from 728,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first quarter of 2011 to 745,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first quarter of 2012.

576

Oxys realized price for worldwide crude oil was $107.98 per barrel for the first quarter of 2012, compared with $92.14 per barrel for the first quarter of 2011. The first quarter of 2012 realized oil price represents 105 percent of the average WTI and 91 percent of the average Brent price for the quarter. Worldwide NGL prices were $52.51 per barrel in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $52.64 per barrel in the first quarter of 2011. Domestic gas prices decreased 33 percent from $4.21 per MCF in the first quarter of 2011 to $2.84 per MCF for the first quarter of 2012.

What is not mentioned is the revenue number. For the quarter, Oxy raked in $6.28 Billion dollars. Now fellers, thats some money. Why would you be ashamed of that? According to current analyst estimates, Oxy is expected to generate $27 billion dollars in revenue for 2012. Thats a staggering sum. According to their 2011 annual report, 37% of revenues are now generated in the Middle East/North Africa and oil and gas production has increased at an annualized 15% per year from 2008 to 2011. Stockholders have raked in the rewards. Shareholder returns to include stock price and appreciation increased 110% for the five years ending in 2011 and 796% over the past 10 year period. Occientals stock price currently sits at $91.76 per share. On a side note, small investors may wish to take a look at this company because it has a Dividend Reinvestment plan whereby one may purchase shares directly from the company once 25 shares are accumulated on the open market. And if our government is going to spend an increasing amount of our tax dollars on regime change in the Middle East, then we the taxpayer are entitled to a return on the investment are we not? Surely some economic value should be placed on the head of an Arab dictator, what?
Dividend Reinvestment Plan Occidental stockholders owning 25 or more shares of common or preferred stock registered in their name are eligible to purchase additional shares of common stock under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan by investing dividends on a minimum of 25 shares and optional cash payments of up to $10,000 per month.

However, the most interesting thing we learn from Oxys 2012 Q1 earnings release is that Occidentals lease in the Masila field expired and according to the U.S. Energy Information Agencys most recent country analysis brief for Yemen which was updated on February 12, 2012, the Masila field is now under the control of state owned PetroMasila:

577

Sector Organization Yemen's General Corporation for Oil, Gas and Mineral Resources is a loose affiliation of several state-owned subsidiaries including: Yemen Oil Company (YOC), Yemen Refining Company (YRC), Petroleum Exploration and Production Authority (PEPA), Yemen Gas Company (YGC), Oil Products Distribution Company, General Department of Crude Oil Marketing, and Safer E&P Operations Company (Safer). General Corporation for Oil, Gas and Mineral Resources is responsible for managing industry contracts and relations with operators and partners, as well as the government's share of crude exports. All branches report to the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources, which is responsible for oil policy. The oil sector is open to private company investment on a production-sharing basis with YOC. Contracts with foreign oil companies, however, require parliamentary approval. Safer, Yemen's leading national oil company, was formed in 2005 to take over Marib Block 18 when Hunt Oil and ExxonMobil's license expired and the parliament vetoed its extension. Nexens contract for the Masila oil field expired December 2011 and the contract was taken over by newlycreated state-owned PetroMasila, which plans to maximize government revenues from the field.
[http://www.eia.gov/emeu/cabs/Yemen/pdf.pdf]

Nexen was once called called Canandian Occidental Petroleum. According to Nexens website:
Nexens origins date back to the formation of Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. (Canadianoxy), a Western Canadian oil and gas producer, in 1971. Our early success in Canada fuelled the companys first discovery in Yemen in 1990. It was a bold move that tripled our proved plus probable reserves and exceeded expectations by yielding more than a billion barrels of oil.

From Occidental Petroleums historical timeline the mystery is cleared up on Nexens relationship to Occidental Petroleum. Here are the entries for the year 1964:
The New York Stock Exchange lists Occidental with the ticker symbol OXY. Oxy makes its first major oil find, at the intersection of Beverly Drive and Pico Boulevard in the West Pico Field, West Los Angeles. Oxy acquires Jefferson Lake Sulfur Company, the third-largest producer of sulfur in the U.S., and its Canadian subsidiary, which later becomes Canadian Oxy.

578

In the U.S. Energy Information report on Yemen, Occidental is not mentioned. From their 2011 annual report we glean the following information about their Middle East Holdings which include their Yemen holdings:
Bahrain In 2009, Occidental and its partners began operating the Bahrain Field under a 20-year development and production sharing agreement (DPSA). Occidental has a 48-percent working interest in the joint venture. Since handover of operations, Occidental and its partners have increased gross gas production capacity more than 40 percent from an initial level of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day to over 2.1 billion cubic feet per day and increased gross oil production by 60 percent from 26,000 barrels per day to 42,000 barrels per day. Occidental plans to continue growing gross gas production capacity to over 2.3 billion cubic feet per day and gross oil production to over 75,000 barrels. Occidental's share of production from Bahrain during 2011 was approximately 173 million cubic feet (MMcf) of gas and 4,000 barrels of oil per day. Iraq In 2010, Occidental and its partners signed a 20-year contract with the South Oil Company of Iraq to develop the Zubair Field. Occidental has a 23.44-percent interest in this contract, which entitles Occidental to receive oil for cost recovery and a remuneration fee, as a result of having achieved an initial gross production threshold of approximately 180,000 BOE per day in 2010. Occidental and its partners plan to increase production to a contractually targeted production level of 1.2 million BOE per day by 2016 and maintain this level of production for seven years. Occidental's share of production in Iraq was approximately 7,000 BOE per day in 2011. Libya Occidental, under agreements with the Libyan National Oil Corporation, participates in Sirte Basin producing operations. These agreements continue through 2032. In early 2011, Occidental ceased exploration activities and its participation in production operations in Libya due to civil unrest in the country and United States sanctions. The United States government lifted its sanctions in September 2011 and Occidental resumed its participation in the producing operations at that time. Occidental Libyas 2011 and 2010 production volumes were approximately 4,000 and 13,000 BOE per day, representing less than 1 percent and 2 percent, respectively, of Occidentals worldwide volumes. Oman In Oman, Occidental is the operator of Block 9 and Block 27, with a 65-percent working interest in each block; Block 53, with a 45-percent working interest; and Block 62, with a 48-percent working interest. Occidental and its partners signed a 30-year PSC for the Mukhaizna Field (Block 53) with the Government of Oman in 2005, pursuant to which Occidental assumed operations of the field. By the end of 2011, Occidental had drilled over 1,400 new wells and continued

579

implementation of a major steam flood project. As of year-end 2011, the exit rate of gross daily production was over 16 times higher than the production rate in September 2005, reaching 124,000 BOE per day. Occidental plans to steadily increase production through continued expansion of the steam flood project. The term for Block 9 is through December 2015, with a potential 10-year extension. The term for Block 27 is through September 2035. In 2008, Occidental was awarded a 20-year contract for Block 62, subject to declaration of commerciality, where it is pursuing development and exploration opportunities targeting gas and condensate resources. Occidental's share of production from the Oman properties was approximately 76,000 BOE per day in 2011. Qatar Occidental operates three offshore projects in Qatar: Idd El Shargi North Dome (ISND) and Idd El Shargi South Dome (ISSD), with a 100-percent working interest in each project, and Al Rayyan (Block 12), with a 92.5-percent working interest. The terms for ISND, ISSD and Block 12 extend through 2019, 2022 and 2017, respectively. In 2011, Occidental received approval from the Government of Qatar for the fourth phase of field development of the ISND Field, focusing on continued development of mature reservoirs while further delineating and developing less mature reservoirs. Drilling under this phase is planned to be completed in 2012. Occidental also received approval for field development plans for ISSD and Al Rayyan, which would include additional drilling through 2013. Occidental also has an investment in Dolphin, which was acquired in 2002, consisting of two separate economic interests through which Occidental owns: (i) a 24.5-percent undivided interest in the operations under a DPSA with the Government of Qatar to develop and produce natural gas and NGLs in Qatars North Field through mid-2032, with a provision to request a five-year extension; and (ii) a 24.5-percent interest in the stock of Dolphin Energy Limited (Dolphin Energy), which is discussed further in "Midstream, Marketing and Other Segment Pipeline Transportation." Occidental's share of production from all of its operations in Qatar was approximately 126,000 BOE per day in 2011.

United Arab Emirates In the first quarter of 2011, Occidental acquired a 40-percent participating interest in the Al Hosn Gas Project. Occidental partnered with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in a 30-year joint venture agreement for the project. The project is anticipated to produce over 500 MMcf per day of natural gas, of which Occidentals net share would be over 200 MMcf per day. In addition, the project is expected to produce over 50,000 barrels per day of NGLs and condensates, of which Occidentals net share would be over 20,000 barrels per day. Occidentals 2011 capital expenditures for this project were approximately $460 million, with an additional $500 million paid for Occidental's share of preacquisition development expenditures. A substantial portion of the total expenditures to date have been incurred in connection with plants and facilities, which are included in the midstream and marketing segment. As the development project progresses, higher portions of the capital will be spent to drill wells, which will be reflected in

580

the oil and gas segment. Occidental believes that its share of remaining capital until production from the field begins (expected to be in 2014), will be approximately $3 billion. Occidental conducts a majority of its Middle East business development activities through its office in Abu Dhabi, which also provides various support functions for Occidentals Middle East/North Africa oil and gas operations. Yemen Occidental owns contractual interests in two producing blocks in Yemen, Block 10 East Shabwa Field with a 40.4-percent interest that includes an 11.8-percent interest held in an unconsolidated entity, and Block S-1 An Nagyah Field, which is an Occidental operated block with a 75-percent working interest. Occidentals working interests in the Block 14 Masila Field expired in December 2011. Occidental's share of production from the Yemen properties was approximately 27,000 BOE per day in 2011, which included nearly 11,000 BOE per day from the Masila Field.

Currently under production in the United States are 4,646,000 acres compared to 541,000 in the Middle East and North Africa. Occidental also holds over 16,453,000 net acres of undeveloped oil and gas fields in its Middle East and North Africa inventory. That dwarfs what they hold in the United States by nearly 600%. Obviously, they are counting on the Middle East to sustain the companys revenues going forward. What is also obvious from the asset allocation and investment breakdown above is that in user friendly countries, there is lots of activity going on. In the areas of instability there is much less. Therefore, a reasonable assumption would be, if the Middle East were stabilized to our international oil companies satisfaction, production could be dramatically increased. Oxys CEO Stephan I. Chazen included the following statements in his letter to shareholders in the 2011 annual report regarding growth in the Middle East and return on assets:
Over the longer term, we expect that our newest Middle East projects also will provide substantial growth for the company. We plan to increase our capital program by approximately 10 percent in 2012 to $8.3 billion from the $7.5 billion we spent last year. Approximately $500 million of this increase will be in the U.S., mainly in the Permian Basin, and the rest in international projects including the Al Hosn Gas Project in Abu Dhabi. Of our total capital expenditures, 84 percent will be in oil and gas, about 11 percent in midstream operations and 5 percent in chemicals. These investments are intended to promote growth and value creation.

581

International Performance Oxy is highly regarded in the Middle East for technical expertise and safe, cost efficient project management, as well as effective working relationships with strategic partners. We have a strong track record in the region based on more than four decades of success in increasing both production and reserves through enhanced recovery techniques and exploration, and we continue to deliver high returns on invested capital. In 2011, 37 percent of our worldwide production about 273,000 BOEPD came from our operations in Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Bahrain, Iraq and Libya. This reflects an approximately 5-percent decrease from our 2010 Middle East/North Africa production, primarily attributable to commodity price effects of production sharing contracts and the temporary cessation of our production in Libya. Oxy is a partner with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) on the Al Hosn Gas Project to develop one of the largest gas fields in the Middle East. Under the 30-year joint venture agreement, which was finalized in the first quarter of 2011, Oxy holds a 40-percent participating interest in this $10billion project. The Al Hosn Gas Project is anticipated to produce over 500 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day of natural gas, of which Oxys netshare would be more than 200 MMcf per day; and over 50,000 barrels per day of NGLs and condensate, of which Oxys net share would be more than 20,000 barrels per day. Production is expected to begin in 2014. Oxy is one of the largest oil producers in Oman. During our more than 30year tenure in the country, we have steadily increased production and reserves. At the Mukhaizna Field in south-central Oman, the 2011 exit rate of gross daily production was approximately 124,000 BOEPD more than 16 times higher than the production rate in September 2005, when Oxy assumed operation of the field. We expect Oman to continue to be a growth driver for Oxy. In Qatar, where Oxy is the second-largest offshore oil producer, we operate three offshore projects: Idd El Shargi North Dome (ISND), Idd El Shargi South Dome (ISSD) and Al Rayyan. In addition, we are a partner in the Dolphin Energy Gas Project, which is the premier transborder natural gas project in the Middle East, serving markets in the UAE and Oman. We received approval in 2011 from the government of Qatar for the fourth phase of field development of the ISND Field. The project will focus on continued development of mature reservoirs while further delineating and developing reservoirs that are less mature. Drilling for this phase is projected to conclude in 2012. We also received approval of field development plans for ISSD and Al Rayyan, where we anticipate additional drilling through 2013.

The bottom line is that U.S. oil company investment in the Middle East is growing and even though over the past few years, much ballyhoo has been made about the Balkan-Shale find up in North Dakota and the Eagle-Ford Shale in South Texas, the investment in these areas pales in comparison to what has already been invested overseas.

582

According to Rig Zone Magazine in an article written by Jaime Kammerzell published on April 27th, 2012 entitled Compensation Tracker: Working in the Middle East:
The Middle East holds an abundant amount of oil and gas. The region accounts for about 40 percent of total world gas reserves and 30 percent of total world oil production. It is a key region as it exports much of its reserves all over the world, including to the U.S. As production declines offshore West Africa and in the North Sea, look for Middle Eastern countries to make up for the loss. New developments in Iran, Libya and Yemen are expected to ramp up oil and gas production in the future, but first need infrastructure and laborers to support this growth.
[http://www.rigzone.com/news/article.asp?a_id=117346]

Thus, we now have an economic motive behind the current regime change operation being carried out in Yemen and the U.S. State Department perfectly understands it expected role to this regard. As a matter of fact, U.S. oil company interests have always been protected by both the United States government, and our U.S. court system, and in many cases, by foreign based guerilla or mercenary armies that are more than happy to take a working interest in an oil field so to speak. Occidental Petroleum is no stranger to private security arrangements and has occasionally suffered its image because of such arrangements. According to an article that appeared on the International Labor Rights Fund website on Apr. 24th, 2003 entitled Lawsuit Filed Against Occidental Petroleum for Involvement in Infamous Colombian Massacre:
(Los Angeles, CA)-- On April 24, 2003, a group of international human rights attorneys shall be bringing suit under the Alien Tort Claims Act against Occidental Petroleum (OXY) and its security contractor, Airscan, Inc., for their role in the murder of innocent civilians in the hamlet of Santo Domingo, Colombia on December 13, 1998. The suit is being filed by International Labor Rights Fund (ILRF) and the Center for Human Rights at the Northwestern University School of Law. The lawsuit, which will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, centers around the aerial assault on the small town of Santo Domingo which led to the deaths of 19 civilians, including the mother, sister and cousin of the Plaintiff in the lawsuit, Luis Alberto Galvis Mujica. This case builds upon the success we have had in using the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) to address egregious human rights violations committed by U.S. companies in their overseas operations, said Terry Collingsworth, ILRFs Executive Director. The ILRF has made it a priority to focus on human rights

583

violations in Colombia, and based on recent decisions in cases brought against Coca-Cola and Drummond Coal, we are confident that our case against OXY will go forward. Companies should not be profiting from murder. This case is the first of several we envision against OXY for its ongoing and willful participation in murder and other human rights violations in Colombia. On December 13, 1998, the Colombian Air Force (CAF) -- an official branch of the Colombian military receiving direct funding from Occidental in return for protecting Occidentals pipeline in Cano Limn -- dropped U.S.-made cluster bombs upon Santo Domingo. The CAF, carrying out this raid in U.Smade Blackhawk helicopters, received the coordinates for this bombing directly from Defendant AirScan, Inc., which was working in its capacity as a security contractor and agent of Defendant Occidental. AirScan, through three of its U.S.-born employees who were flying a Skymaster plane at the time -- the Skymaster plane having been provided directly by Occidental -- provided aerial surveillance for this mission during the bombing, helped the CAF identify the target for bombing and chose the places for Colombian military troop disembarkment during the mission. Accompanying the three Airscan pilots in the Skymaster plane during the bombing raid was a Colombian military officer who at the time served as air force liaison to Occidental. This bombing, moreover, was planned by the CAF and AirScan in Occidentals complex in Cano Limn, Colombia. [http://lrights.igc.org/press/oxy042403.htm]

The case was dismissed by the trial court and again at the appellate level, with the courts citing various reasons why it was out of their jurisdiction. The case was later filed as Luis Mujica, et al v. Occidental Petroleum Corporati, et al in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in October of 2010. The very first argument made by Occidental against the appeal pretty much sums up how the U.S. government feels about big oil. (See next page.)

THE UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY INTERESTS ARE A PROPER BASIS FOR DISMISSAL OF THE PLAINTIFFS CLAIMS Occidentals Winning Argument based on the Infallibility of U.S. Foreign Policy Interests
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT _______________ Nos. 05-56175, 05-56178, 05-56056 _______________ LUIS ALBERTO GALVIS MUJICA, ET AL., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, and AIRSCAN, INC. Defendants-Appellees-Cross-Appellants. _______________ ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA _______________ BRIEF OF THE UNITED STATES AS AMICUS CURIAE IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES-CROSS-APPELLANTS INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 29(a), the United States hereby submits this brief in support of affirmance of the district courts judgment of dismissal. The plaintiffs are Colombian nationals who have sued private companies for injuries incurred in a bombing of Santo Domingo, Colombia, reportedly conducted by the Colombian Air Force. The plaintiffs ask a U.S. court to declare unlawful a military action assertedly undertaken by the Colombian Air Force, which was engaged in fighting against a guerilla insurgency in that country. The United States expresses no view on the merits of the plaintiffs allegations, and deplores any violation of human-rights law that might have occurred. Because adjudication of this case would adversely affect the United States foreign policy interests, however, we participate as amicus curiae in support of affirmance. The district court dismissed the plaintiffs claims on the ground that U.S. foreign policy interests render the claims non-justiciable and preempt the plaintiffs state-law claims. While the United States agrees with this ultimate disposition, we believe that dismissal of the plaintiffs claims is most appropriate as a matter of international comity. The plaintiffs have been awarded a substantial compensatory judgment in Colombia for harms suffered in the Santo Domingo bombing. Under

585

Colombian law, that judgment, unless reversed on appeal, precludes another lawsuit by the plaintiffs seeking additional damages for the same harm. Permitting this lawsuit to go forward in a U.S. court, potentially second-guessing the findings of a Colombian court, would be inconsistent with Colombias rule against double recovery and could harm our relations with that foreign sovereign. Because the dismissal of the plaintiffs claims can be affirmed on the ground of international comity, it is unnecessary to consider whether the claims would fail on other grounds as well. As we next show, however, the plaintiffs claims under the Alien Tort Statute, 28 U.S.C. 1350 (Section 1350 or ATS), also fail as a matter of federal common law, and their claims under California law are barred. For the reasons articulated below, a court should not recognize claims under Section 1350 challenging a foreign governments treatment of its own citizens within its own borders, without a Congressional directive in this regard. Absent Congressional direction, furthermore, a court should not exercise its narrow common-law authority under Section 1350 to recognize a civil claim for aiding and abetting a vast expansion of liability that would interfere with the Executives conduct of foreign policy.

Chapter 9
Revolutionary Oil Man Occidental Petroleum was founded in 1920 and remained a fledgling oil company that almost went belly up by the 1950s. In 1955 Russian born Jew and Soviet sympathizer Armand Hammer invested $50,000 in two oil wells Occidental was drilling in California that hit paydirt. Prior to investing in Oxy, Hammer had made a fortune under Vladimir Lenin in the Soviet Union after being granted a concession to make pencils for school children that were being indoctrinated into communism. According to the Encyclopdia Britannica:
The son of a doctor, Hammer had made his first $1,000,000 through his enterprising ventures in his fathers pharmaceutical company before receiving a medical degree from Columbia University in 1921. Journeying to Soviet Russia in 1921 to give medical aid to that countrys famine victims, he was personally persuaded by Vladimir Lenin to turn his business talents to account there instead. In 1925 he obtained a concession from the Bolsheviks to manufacture pencils for the Soviet Union, and his firm soon became the largest supplier of cheap, reliable pencils in the country. His business ventures were bought out by the Soviets in the late 1920s, and Hammer returned to the United States in 1930 laden with innumerable paintings, jewelry pieces, and other art objects formerly owned by the Romanov imperial family and sold to him by the cash-hungry Soviets. In the 1930s Hammer sold the majority of these valuables and embarked on such profitable post-Prohibition business ventures as whiskey making and the manufacture of whiskey barrels, as well as cattle raising.

The Romanovs were Christians. I wonder if there are any living Romanovs alive today or did Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov and Lev Davidovich Bronshtein, along with their band of blood-thirsty communists kill them all? For the answer to this we can look to a wellresearched article written by Professor Kent Sole, Department of Political Science, Georgia Southwestern State University and Paul Gilbert entitled The Fate of the Romanovs, The Survivors:
When Emperor Nicholas II abdicated the Russian Throne in March of 1917 there were fifty-three Romanovs living in Russia. One of these, the Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinovich died of natural causes at Tashkent in February 1918. Of the remaining fifty-two, seventeen were murdered by the Bolsheviks! The remaining thirty-five members of the family all escaped by various methods narrowly managing to escape the same fate as their relatives.

589

This article goes on to give a very detailed account of the Romanov lineage up to present day. I highly recommend the website [RoyalRussia.org] which is kept up by Paul Gilbert up in Canada. I wonder if the Romanovs should be entitled the return of any of their confiscated wealth. This would only seem natural given the precedent established after World War II by the Reparation Agreement signed between Israel and West Germany on September 10th, 1952. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander is it not? Should the family of Mr. Armand Hammer, the Bolshevik entrepreneur who saved and then later ran Occidental Petroleum not have to return the artifacts that Mr. Hammer purchased from mass murderers Lenin and Trotsky, who in turn stole them from the Romanov family?. Israeli based Jewish victims of World War II who were deprived of their property or had been put in prison camps and used for slave labor continue to demand money from Germany over such offenses. In an article entitled Israel to seek another 1b euros Holocaust in reparations from Germany written by Moti Bassok and TheMarker that appeared in Haaretz on December 12th, 2009 it was noted that:
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz will demand between 450 million to 1 billion euros in reparations from Germany on behalf of Jews forced into slave labor during the Holocaust, it emerged on Sunday. Minister Steinitz will reportedly present German government with the demand on behalf of 30,000 Israeli survivors of forced labor in wartime ghettos, during a joint session scheduled to take place in early 2010 in Berlin.

Soviet Jews Lenin and Trotsky set up the Soviet Unions first slave labor camps. Surely some of the Jews living in Israel are former Bolsheviks are they not? Should not that make Israel responsible somehow for the action of Communist Jews that set up the Soviet Empire? These facts may astound many Americans from the Baby Boomer generation that were hoodwinked into believing the only party that made money in the Communist Soviet Union was the Communist State. This simply was not true. If one were a member of the Communist Party such as Hammer, one could operate a business. The other fact that most Americans are unaware of is that it was a Jew who founded Communism. Baby Boomers were also taught that communists were their enemy, for after all, the Cold War, that lasted from around 1948-1989 (1945-1991 depending on ones view of history) was launched on that premise. Vladimir Lenin whose real name was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Leon Trotsky, whose real name was Lev Davidovich Bronshtein, and Joseph Stalin whose real name was Joseph David Djugashvili were responsible

590

for the slaughter of millions of innocent victims during the Russian Revolution and the years that followed leading into World War II. It was Lenin that turned Stalin loose on the masses. Had Lenin won a Nobel Peace Prize, the Jewish editors of the Lenin Wikipedia page would have shouted out loud that Lenin was a Jew. Instead, because he was also a mass murderer, the Jewish editors attempt to paint him as having a diverse background. Of course this is perfectly understandable, for what culture would want to be associated with mass murderers that were responsible for the deaths of millions of people. And when it comes to Stalin who was also Jewish, suddenly the Jewish editors forget that Jews by their own admission for hundreds of years have changed not only their names, but religious affiliations in order to live in societies that for one reason or another did not welcome them. But lets look to a famous Jew for an informed opinion on the matter:
The distinctive character of the Jew does not arise solely from his religion. It is true that his race and religion are indissolubly connected, . . but whatever be the cause of this junction of the race idea with the religion, it is very certain that the religion alone does not constitute the people. A believer in the Jewish faith does not by reason of that fact become a Jew. On the other hand, however, a Jew by birth remains a Jew, even though he abjures his religion. [Leo N. Levi, President of Bnai Brith 1900-1904.]

Bnai Brith was a race-based Jewish group founded in 1843 by twelve German Jewish immigrants. This group helped organize American Jews in order to see that families of immigrant Jews were always taken care of. They established a life insurance plan and built retirement homes for aging Jews. To their credit they established Americanization schools for new immigrants, something that I assert would be a great idea to be brought back today, but for all immigrant groups. It was quite apparent to the early Jews in America that there were those in this country that despised the Jewish immigrants. This is undisputed fact. Most Jew hatred in this country has been founded on ignorance and unfounded rumors about what Jews are and what Jews are not. Why these rumors got started in the first place is beyond the scope of this book, but from my own personal observations, the defensive stance that many Jews take today when it comes to defending all things Jewish is being taken way too far and in fact, much of the information on Jews today is self-written history which makes it extremely biased and not always based on fact.

591

No other group of people in the history of mankind has been allowed the right, privilege, or downright arrogance of selfinterest by which to write their own history and then demand others believe it to be 100% accurate 100% of the time.

History is written based on what are construed to be facts, and or the perception of facts that are often shaded and or biased by the historian writing the facts. Some Historians attempt to achieve a balance in their views in the spirit of telling the truth as it were but all histories have superimposed interpretations embedded in the final written product. Histories in general are biased to one degree or another and are often filled with fiction and mysteries that may remain for future generation to discern and unravel. If a historian chooses to omit certain known facts subject to the event in question, then bias is embedded and eventually will be discovered by another historian in the same camp or by a historical revisionist. When the world collectively looks at a group of people and determines them to be human-eaters due to the size and shape of the bones piled up next to the fire pit, then some sort of definition must be applied, in this case the descriptor is cannibal. People then form judgments and opinions based on that information. One may choose to live amongst the cannibals, or perhaps steer clear based on the fear that one might just end up in the stew pot. Other people may collectively determine that their own value system is just what these cannibals need, yes, lets give them religion so to speak. Other people may in fact decide these cannibals must either change their ways or be wiped off the face of the earth. Only the convergence of people, ideals, action, inaction, and timing may conclude the outcome. The Jewish survivors of World War II Germany know this only too well. One would think that one of the lessons from such an event would be that unbiased truth must always be apparent. But unfortunately, many Jews today do not think this way. Today, as the world continues to condemn Israel for its Apartheid against the Palestinian people, the Zionists continue to spew out propaganda that intelligent people see clearly as false and unjust ideology based on self-preservation Zionist ideology that has simply been carried way to far, thus becoming an ideology of racism and bigotry. In my opinion, when a group of people (in this case Israel) demand their own racially-centric nation and wish to suppress the rights of anyone not living up to their religiously bigoted and racist notion of citizen, it then becomes quite clear that it is not in fact that Israels neighbors cannot get along with Jews or Israelis (depending upon whom is attempting to semantically confuse whom), but it is indeed the fact that the Zionist Jews living in the State of Israel are the ones that cannot get

592

along with others. This reality in fact is at the very rotten core of Zionism. An ethically centric Jewish state should never have been allowed to have been formed in the first place. Intelligent men from all sides of the debate to include Jews, Arabs, and Gentiles alike warned of this, but the Zionists would hear no such arguments. What is unknown to most Americans today is the extent to which Chaim Weizmann and his Zionist compatriots were willing to go in order to ensure the success of their movement. They not only blacked-mailed a U.S. president (Wilson) through a U.S. based Jewish law firm and later dragged America into World War I with the intentional sinking of the Lusitania, but vowed to crush the British Empire should England not sign off on the Balfour agreement. According to a 1983 paper written by historian Robert John, a British historian and co-author along with Sami Hadawi of the 1970 two volume historical work entitled, The Palestine Diary: British, American, and United Nations Intervention, 1914-1948, Chaim Weizmann made the following remarks to William Yale, who was a Special Agent with the U.S. State Department in 1919:
Yale said he had a talk with Weizmann "somewhere in the Mediterranean in 1919," and asked him what might happen if the British did not support a national home for the Jews in Palestine. Weizmann thumped his fist on the table and the teacups jumped, "If they don't," he said, "we'll smash the British Empire as we smashed the Russian Empire."

Robert John also offers the following insight into the blackmailing of President Woodrow Wilson in the same paper:
In the United States, the President's adviser, Louis D. Brandeis, a leading advocate of Zionism, had been inducted as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court on 5 June 1916. That Wilson was vulnerable was evident, in that as early as 1911, he had made known his profound interest in the Zionist idea and in Jewry. Malcolm described Wilson as being "attached to Brandeis by ties of peculiar hardness," a cryptic reference to the story that Wilson had been blackmailed for $40,000 for some hot love letters he had written to his neighbor's wife when he was President of Princeton. He did not have the money, and the go-between, Samuel Untermeyer, of the law firm of Guggenheim, Untermeyer & Marshall, said he would provide it if Wilson would appoint to the next vacancy on the Supreme Court a nominee selected by Mr. Untermeyer. The money was paid, the letters returned, and Brandeis had been the nominee. Wilson had written to the Senate, where opposition to the nominee was strong: "I have known him. I have tested him by seeking his advice upon some of the most difficult and perplexing public questions about which it was necessary for me to form a judgment When Brandeis had been approved by the Senate,

593

Wilson wrote to Henry Morgenthau: "I never signed any commission with such satisfaction." "Relief" might have been a more appropriate word. And when Weizmann needed America to enter World War I to assist England in taking over Palestine, he turned once again to American Jews for assistance: Bryan [William Jennings] had resigned as Secretary of State in June 1915 because he believed Wilson was jeopardizing American neutrality and showing partiality towards England. In his last interview, he told Wilson bitterly, "Colonel House has been Secretary of State, not I, and I have never had your full confidence." House, a secretive and subtle flatterer who had performed services relating to the Federal Reserve Bank and currency legislation for Jacob W. Schiff and Paul Warburg, was perceived by Wilson as the "friend who so thoroughly understands me," "my second personality....my independent self, His thoughts and mine are one." Bryan had wanted to go on a peace mission to Europe at the beginning of 1915, but the President sent House instead. House had actually sailed on the British ship Lusitania and as it approached the Irish coast on 5 February, the captain ordered the American flag to be raised. The Intimate Papers of Colonel House record that on the morning of 7 May 1915, he and the British Foreign Secretary Grey drove to Kew. "We spoke of the probability of an ocean liner being sunk," recorded House, "and I told him if this were done, a flame of indignation would sweep across America, which would in itself probably carry us into the war." An hour later, House was with King George in Buckingham Palace. "We fell to talking, strangely enough,'' the Colonel wrote that night, ''of the probability of Germany sinking a transAtlantic liner... " He said, "Suppose they should sink the Lusitania with American passengers on board... " That evening House dined at the American Embassy. A dispatch came in, stating that at two in the afternoon a German submarine had torpedoed and sunk the Lusitania off the southern coast of Ireland. 1,200 lives were lost, including 128 Americans. It took 60 years for the truth about its cargo to be confirmed; that it had carried munitions which exploded when the torpedo hit. But Secretary of State Bryan remarked to his wife, "I wonder if that ship carried munitions of war If she did carry them, it puts a different face on the whole matter! England has been using our citizens to protect her ammunition." In a telegram to President Wilson from England on 9 May 1915, House said he believed an immediate demand should made to Germany for assurance against a similar incident. I should inform her that our Government expected to take measures ... to ensure the safety of American citizens. If war follows, it will not be a new war, but an endeavor to end more speedily an old one. Our intervention will save, rather than increase loss of life. We can no longer be neutral spectators.

594

In another telegram on 25 May, he noted that he had received from Ambassador Gerard a cable that Germany is in no need of food. "This does away with their contention that the starving of Germany justified their submarine policy." The next day, House lunched with Sir Edward Grey and read him all the telegrams that had passed between the President, Gerard and himself since last they had met. And he wrote on 30 May 1915, "I have concluded that war with Germany is inevitable, and this afternoon at six o'clock I decided to go home on the S.S. St. Paul on Saturday. I sent a cable to the President to this effect." After his arrival in the United States, he wrote to the President from Rosslyn, Long Island, on 16 June 1915, a long letter which included the paragraph: I need not tell you that if the Allies fail to win, it must necessarily mean a reversal of our entire policy. [Editorial Commentary: The Colonel House referred to in this passage was Edward M. House, son of Thomas William House, who sailed to America from England in 1835 and was of Dutch stock. According to the Texas State Historical Society: In May 1835 House landed in New York, where for a year he earned his living as a baker. His proficiency caused him to be discovered by the proprietor of the St. Charles Hotel. He was induced to move to New Orleans and take charge of the bakery of that famous establishment. In 1838 the firm of House and Loveridge, bakers and confectioners, opened in Houston, Texas. The next year House formed a partnership with Charles Shearn, who was later chief justice of Harris County. In 1840 House married his partner's daughter, Mary Elizabeth Shearn; and it was in this year that he began accepting bank deposits. Alone in business for a time, he produced and sold the first ice cream in Houston. He restricted his confections to one side of the store and filled the other with dry goods, developing an extensive wholesale trade with the interior.

Colonel House
As he prospered, House bought a dry goods concern and became the largest wholesaler in Texas. He accepted cotton as payment for goods and eventually bought a sugar plantation in Arcola and planted cotton on his 70,000 acre ranch.

595

House then started a steamship company and a half a dozen other successful enterprises. He was instrumental in the development of many businesses in the State of Texas and especially in Houston to include the first organized utility and the Board of Trade and Cotton Exchange. His cotton factoring business grew into a private banking empire. During the Civil War he supplied the Confederacy and ships did a good bit of blockade running through the Union controlled ship channels around Galveston. Thomas son Edward had developed friendships with northeastern blue bloods during his days attending New England prep schools and through attendance at Cornell University. When his father died in 1868, he had to drop out of Cornell and return to Texas to help run his familys empire. His title of Colonel was not due to actual military service, but bestowed upon him after helping James Hogg win the 1892 Texas gubernatorial race. After participating in Texas politics for a number of years, Colonel House sold off the family plantation assets, and headed for New York City in 1902. He met Woodrow Wilson when he was the governor of New Jersey and quickly ingratiated himself and became a close friend and confidant. Colonel House would later become Wilsons foreign policy advisor and served in this capacity until 1919 when Wilson married his second wife who did not like House. According to Robert John, House often stayed at private quarters that were made available to him in the White House prior to being kicked out of the kingdom by Wilsons second wife. It has also been noted by that House was not the sharpest diplomat on Wilsons team, but that Wilson thoroughly enjoyed the Colonels lengthy and descriptive reports that he sent back from Europe.]

Ask any school boy what it means when one particular student cannot seem to get along with anyone else on the playground day in and day out and the answer that comes back will be highly predictablehes the school yard bully. When a large group of people as defined by the word nation exhibit such behavior, there are only one or two words that may be applied-those being the words racist and bigoted. The verdict is now in on Israel and the facts are quite clear: Israel has become the school yard bully of the Middle East. Jews thrive in Iran, Jews thrive in Syria, and Jews thrive Egypt. Arabs do not thrive in what is now considered Israel and no longer thrive in their own homeland, Palestine. On Yahoos Answers page, where people submit questions to editors, the question of Stalins ethnicity comes up: Question: Was Stalin really of Jewish descent? Yahoo Answer: No Stalin was not a Jew. Lenin only was 1/4 Jew: His
maternal grandfather, Israel (Alexander) Blank, was a Ukrainian Jew who was later baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church. But Soviet Jews were many

596

among the founders and pioneers of Soviet Russia: Trotsky, Kamenev, Yakov Sverdlov ,Grigori Zinoviev , Karl Radek, Maxim Litvinov ,Moisei Uritsky. The prominent part in the system of terrorism applied by the Extraordinary Commissions for Combatting Counter-Revolution [the Cheka] has been taken by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses. Lenin's first Politburo was dominated by men of Jewish origins. This abundance of Jews in the revolution is largely at the origin of Hitler's hatred for the Russian revolution and the Jewish people. One must comprehend this strong presence of Jews among revolutionaries as a sign of revolt against centuries of oppression by the Tzarist system against the Jews. For the Jews it was a huge liberation but it is nevertheless true that they committed in turn some terrible excesses.

The answer is quite obviously written by a Jew and not historically significant other than it seems to have been quickly answered by a Lenin apologist. Notice the instant defense of Lenin, whom the question was not about. And notice the final sentence of the explanation in which mass murder is reduced to the act of committing terrible excesses. This type of answer is typical for the intellectually dishonest Jews that attempt to defend the indefensible. This happens over and over again all over the internet and in newspapers and books. I feel sorry for those Jews that feel a need to be intellectually dishonest in order to express their views. Perhaps it is time to stop the nonsense and just be honest with the world. The world in my view has dealt fairly honestly with the Jews with a few notable exceptions. The Jewish notion of never again as regards the Holocaust is indeed a worthy one, but unfortunately, the world has experienced several additional Holocausts since. Communism as a romantic ideal may have been glamorous and appealing to the masses of disenfranchised peasants in Russiauntil they later learned that it meant one thing for western news consumers as written up in the great communist rags and the international press of the day, and quite another for peasants actually living under the communist system, and quite another for the high level party officials who thrived under the system. The Jewish editors of Wikipedia that are keeping up the wiki-pages related to Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, and the Russian Revolution misrepresent history when they state:
From 1930 onwards, fear of social disorder caused by the upheavals of forced collectivization of peasants and the resulting famine of 19321933 and massive and the uncontrolled migration of millions of peasants into cities, became the major obsession of Party and police authorities.

Anyone that is not intellectually dishonest recognizes that the statement from 1930 onwards there was a fear of social disorder is a misstatement of fact. There was social disorder from day one up of the

597

Revolution up until the day Lenin opened up the first slave labor camps. There are always splinter groups and factions during revolutions that must be dealt with and Wikipedia editors are attempting to have the public believe that all evils in Communism occurred on Stalins watch instead of Lenins and Trotskys. According to Pavel Sudoplatov, a Soviet Spymaster the unveiled a plethora of Communist secrets in his 1994 book entitled Special Task: The Memoirs of an Unwanted Witness A Soviet Spymaster: The country had developed more or less steadily only after the end of the collectivization drive in 1934. Up until then it had undergone civil war and chaos, turmoil, and upheavals. Only by the mid-thirties did industrialization begin to bear fruit. The book was co-written by Anatoli Sudoplatov, with Jerrold L. and Leona P. Schecter and published by Little, Brown and Company, London. [ISBN # 0316773522 or 978-0316773522] The Wikipedia wunderkinder attempt to paint Stalin as a Christian due to religious affiliation, which as pointed out previously has nothing to do with the cultural affiliation of Jews. If you really want to understand how much in love the wikiwonks are with Communism, take a look at the entry for Earl Browder. Wikipedia practically has a book on the guy. I would say based on the depth of information that is written on Browder that there are quite a few old commies sitting around Jewish retirement homes in Palm Springs, Miami, Phoenix and New York City willing to spill the beans on their involvement with the United States Communist Party back in the glory days. No matter, the facts of history are indisputable, and the facts show us that both Jews and Christians alike have participated in slaughters. So this truth stands. We now know that both Jews and Christians alike are capable of mass murder. We also know that each perpetrator of mass murder generally articulates a justification for his actions, whether that murderer is a madman acting on behalf of a state, a dictator acting as the state or a state acting on behalf of its citizens. History has also proven that we as humans have a high tolerance for mass murder for there certainly has been no shortage of bodies over the past ten years, the past twenty years, or the past fifty. Society judges mass murderers on the justification of their actions. Right or wrong, a justification in no way excuses the murder of human beings, whether that murder be committed out of aggression for land, power, money, or other perceived self-interest, or committed in

598

retaliation for some perceived wrong. Murderers are murderers plain and simple. One of the hallmarks of state sponsored mass murderers is that most are highly religious and commit their acts with some form of a god on their side (or at least verbalize a chant to God as cover), as this is often necessary in order that the murderer can commit his crimes against humanity and hopefully get a good nights sleep afterwards. Religion for some takes the edge off the sword so to speak. Those that oppose madmen, or stand in the way of state murder often end up as enemies of the state and are themselves murdered for their morality. This type of action also brings some comfort to the murderer, especially if he can persuade others to participate in the bloodletting, perhaps by making political promises, or doling out political favors, or by assuring the yellow journalist that he will surely get the next big scoop on the next months atrocity and assuring the ones doing the actual throat slitting that their actions are legitimate under the authority of the state, government, or revolutionary council. Of course with the invention of the internet, it is becoming much more difficult to get away with it. Murder is much more palatable in smaller dosessay a stray bomb getting away from a U.S. Air Force Pilot and wiping out a family in Iraq, or a misguided cruise missile launched from a U.S. Nuclear powered submarine hitting the wrong target, or perhaps a few heads, hands or feet chopped off down at the town square in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Saudi Arabia over a loose woman, a hooker, homemade beer, gambling debts, a Dutch carton, or an insult to Allah, or perhaps a thousand Palestinians lit up like the 4th of July with white phosphorus grenades and other warheads delivered by Israels IDF, or a few Israelis blown apart by suicide bombers, an Iranian nuclear scientist blown up by a fast moving Israeli Mossad agent on a motorbike, or perhaps a faulty cruise missile launched from CIA drone slicing the legs and arms off of a three year old innocent child in Yemen, and of course lets collectively not forget to wipe out as many Africans as possible in one genocide after another by simply ignoring the facts but please Mr. Politician man keep the number under that magical predetermined level of suffering that would constitute the need for some sort of reparations, the stifling of free speech, and the wholesale censoring of Wikipedia, YouTube, and any other website deemed offensive by communist censors. More people have been murdered by Communist Regimes than any other mass murderers in history, with historical body counts in the Soviet Union as high as 28,000,00023 million under Stalin and 5 million under Lenin and Trotsky.

599

These numbers are estimates. The best source I have found on the internet by which to find the most detailed information of the number of people killed during the Russian Revolution come from a librarian by the name of Matthew White who maintains the website [necrometrics.com]. On his site are hundreds of historical citations detailing nearly every atrocity committed by man since the beginning of time. White estimates 9 million to be the average historical estimate of deaths during the years of the Russian Revolution and subsequent civil war from 1917-1921. White quotes from all available known secondary resources written that are based on primary resources in order to get the best researched numbers. For example, he notes the following regarding the Russian Revolution: Brzezinski, Zbigniew, Out of Control: Global Turmoil on the Eve of the Twenty-first Century (1993). 6 to 8 million people died under Lenin from war, famine etc. Norman Lowe, Mastering Twentieth Century Russian History (2002) TOTAL: 7,000,000 to 10,000,000 Red Army Battle: 632,000 Disease: 581,000 Whites: 1,290,000 battle + disease White Terror: "tens of thousands" Red Terror 1.

CNBC Commie Lovers Many socialist Jews today, including Jim Cramer of CNBCs Mad Money fame, love to wax on nostalgic about Vladimir Lenin. Cramer has stated on his show that he studied Russian History in college. He even has a photo of Lenin on his set. Matter of fact, one has to wonder what exactly is the philosophical agenda of CNBC these days. On Monday, May 6th, 2012, on Squawk on the Street, CNBC aired a short segment from an interview Michelle Caruso Cabrera had with a Greek Communist Party Presidential Candidate named Alexis Tsipris Who asked Michelle if she understood why Warren Buffet has recently been stating that millionaires need to pay more taxes. The Communist then stated that Buffet is saying this because he knows that if his (Buffets elite class) class does not pay more of their fair share, and then the Proletariat will rise up. What follows is my transcript of a video segment and interview recorded on September 19, 2011 and presented on CNBC on Squawk on the Street on May 7th, 2012. The video segment entitled Greek Election Fallout started with an introduction by David Faber and then cut to Michelle Caruso Cabrera in Greece from her previous interview with Communist Party candidate Alexis Tsipras: [Begin Transcript]
Michelle Caruso Cabrera: Yeah it is complicatedit was a surprising resultmaybe not surprising to your point David.the parties that supported the Bailoutthey were punished in this election.what we saw.Greek voters choose to push their votes to extremist element on either side of the parties uh.within the electionI think the best way to describe it is if you supported the Troika Plan, the voters punished you, if you didnt support the Troika Plan you got a lot more reward from the votersits easy for us in our cultural context to say is this right versus leftits not quite that simple in GreeceNow What is the big surprise is the second place winner, uh, its a Communist Party, the leader is Alexis TsiprisI interviewed him actually several months agohe had a very small position within the parliament at the time but he very much struck us as someone that we thought could absolutely go placeshe was extremely charismatic, ..he was absolutely building a following..he is a communistwhat makes him different than the other Communist party in uh Greece is that he supports the Eurohe just doesnt support the current planbut he does support more State Control over all the resources within the countryHe did not want to give us an interview in Englishbut he does speak Englishso we hired a translatorwe did the whole thingas were doing the interviewhe suddenly breaks into Englishhe was very determined to speak in Englishabout one thingWarren Buffet

Cutaway to Interview: Alexis Tsipras: This is the main problem. Who will pay the crisiswho will pay the banks? The poor or rich people... do you whats Buffet? Michelle Caruso Cabrera: ..yes I do Alexis Tsipras he said this before. he said oh come on, let me pay. Why did he say that? He say that because he can understand the danger.

The real surprise for me came when Cabrera made the following comment about Tsipras: but he very much struck us as someone that we thought could absolutely go placeshe was extremely charismatic CNBC is either now pushing a commie agenda or they are using this video in hopes that Americans who voice their anger over the current too big to fail banking policy in the U.S. will be associated with communists. Perhaps CNBC and Cabrera are attempting to invoke the old Cold War Anti-communist sentiments of mainstream America. Sorry CNBC, those of us here in America that are against welfare sucking bailed out banks are not communists and never will be, we simply do not want our tax dollars going to international swindlers and tax-dodging criminals. Only time will tell what the outcome will be in Greece. What we do know based on past history is that international bankers generally get what they want. But who knows, perhaps a Greek tragedy is in order. If Tsipras is successful in forming a coalition government capable of thwarting the bankers, he might just find himself on the receiving end of another CIA backed Coup dtat.

Bankers and Communists worked together during the Russian Revolution because it served the aims of Zionism. Had it not been for Stalin ending the Bolshevik dream, Russia might have become the Zionist homeland instead of Palestine. In an article that appeared on April 27th, 1926 in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency entitled Nearly $4,000,000 Raised at Three Dinners Launching New Yorks $6,000,000 Drive in United Jewish Campaign, it was noted that land was being set aside by the Bolsheviks for Jews:
"So anxious is the Russian Government that the land shall be occupied that for a term of years there will be no taxation; the people who go to the land are given transportation for themselves and their property, such as they have, at a very low rate, below the regular rates. There have been placed upon the land up to the present time, through the Joint Distribution Committee, under the supervision of Dr. Rosen, under the tutelage of that wonderful man and the experts whom he has working with him, who are Russians, who know what Russian farming is, whose ancestors lived on the land, and whose descendants lived upon the land since the days of Nicholas I, six thousand families amounting to thirty thousand souls and last year they had under actual cultivation five hundred thousand acres of land. The Russian Government, whatever we may think of it--you will understand, of course, that I am not a bolshevik or communist, the Russian Government, you may say, truly treats all people alike. There is no difference on the subject of religion, race or nationality. The Jew has the same rights, the same opportunities, the same privileges and stands before the law just as anybody else would. The Soviet Government has stated, and it has said it repeatedly, and to no less a man than Dr. Joseph Rosen, who if there ever was a saint, who if there ever was a Moses, is one to whom those appelations may apply.--They have set aside for the use of the Jews in the Ukraine and the Crimea three and a half millions acres of land, the most fertile land in Russia, the black soil which is the most productive of all of the lands in that great Empire--three and a half million acres, which in the State of New York, or in Pennsylvania, or in the Far West would cost a minimum of one hundred dollars an acre--and I am sorry to say that it would cost as much as that even in Palestine, that is a sad fact which we must take into consideration

However, the messianic Zionists would never accept anything less than Palestine as their homeland due to its role in historical biblical mythology. It was then and is today much easier to persuade Christians to join in with their cause being the land of Israel is glorified in Christianity and most Christians have been hoodwinked into believing that the Jews in Israel are the original Hebrews of the biblical era. Most Christians have no idea that the word jew did not exist in the original bibles, or that the United States was indeed NOT founded on so-called

605

Jude0-Christian principals. Nor do they understand that true Judaic Hebrews are few and far between. Benjamin H. Freedman, who had been a card carrying Zionist up until the point that he realized the German people had been duped by his Zionist brethren during World War I, wrote a pamphlet in 1954 in the form of a letter addressed to a Jew who had recently converted to Catholicism and written an article about it in a local newspaper. In Facts are Facts, The Truth about Khazars, Freedman explains the origins of many of the Jews now residing in Israel? Since this is a 76 page document, I have included what I consider to be some of the more important points that Freedman makes. The complete test of Facts are Facts may be read at [www.thelastamericannewspaper.com]. Excerpts from Facts are Facts: First Appearance of the word Jew It is an incontestable fact that the word "Jew" did not come into existence until the year 1775. Prior to 1775 the word "Jew" did not exist in any language. The word "Jew" was introduced into the English for the first time in the 18th century when Sheridan used it in his play "The Rivals", II,i, "She shall have a skin like a mummy, and the beard of a Jew". Prior to this use of the word "Jew" in the English language by Sheridan in 1775 the word "Jew" had not become a word in the English language. Shakespeare never saw the word "Jew" as you will see. Shakespeare never used the word "Jew" in any of his works, the common general belief to the contrary notwithstanding. In his "Merchant of Venice", V.III.i.61, Shakespeare wrote as follows: "what is the reason? I am a Iewe; hath not a Iewe eyes?". In the Latin St. Jerome 4th century Vulgate Edition of the New Testament Jesus is referred to by the Genitive Plural of "Iudaeus" in the Gospel of John reference to the inscription on the Cross, - "Iudaeorum". It was in the 4th century that St. Jerome translated into Latin the manuscripts of the New Testament from the original languages in which they were written. This translation by St. Jerome is referred to still today as the Vulgate Edition by the Roman Catholic Church authorities, who use it today. Jesus is referred as a so-called "Jew" for the first time in the New Testament in the 18th century. Jesus is first referred to as a so-called "Jew" in the revised 18th century editions in the English language of the 14th century first translations of the New Testament into English. The history of the origin of the word "Jew" in the English language leaves no

606

doubt that the 18th century "Jew" is the 18th century contracted and corrupted English word for the 4th century Latin "Iudaeus" found in St. Jerome's Vulgate Edition. Of that there is no longer doubt. The available manuscripts from the 4th century to the 18th century accurately trace the origin and give the complete history of the word "Jew" in the English language. In these manuscripts are to be found all the many earlier English equivalents extending through the 14 centuries from the 4th to the 18th century. From the Latin "Iudaeus" to the English "Jew" these English forms included successively: "Gyu", "Giu", "Iu", "Iuu", "Iuw", "Ieuu", "Ieuy", "Iwe", "Iow", "Iewe", "leue", "Iue", "Ive", "lew", and then finally in the 18th century, "Jew". The many earlier English equivalents for "Jews" through the 14 centuries are "Giwis", "Giws", "Gyues", "Gywes", "Giwes", "Geus", "Iuys", "Iows", "Iouis", "Iews", and then also finally in the 18th century, "Jews". With the rapidly expanding use in England in the 18th century for the first time in history of the greatly improved printing presses unlimited quantities of the New Testament were printed. These revised 18th century editions of the earlier 14th century first translations into the English language were then widely distributed throughout England and the English speaking world among families who had never possessed a copy of the New Testament in any language. In these 18th century editions with revisions the word "Jew" appeared for the first time in any English translations. The word "Jew" as it was used in the 18th century editions has since continued in use in all elections of the New Testament in the English language. The use of the word "Jew" thus was stabilized. As you know, my dear Dr. Goldstein, the best known 18th century editions of the New Testament in English are the Rheims (Douai) Edition and the King James Authorized Edition. The Rheims (Douai) translation of the New Testament into English was first printed in 1582 but the word "Jew" did not appear in it. The King James Authorized translation of the New Testament into English was begun in 1604 and first published in 1611. The word "Jew" did not appear in it either. The word "Jew" appeared in both these well known editions in their 18th century revised versions for the first times. Countless copies of the revised 18th century editions of the Rheims (Douai) and the King James translations of the New Testament into English were distributed to the clergy and the laity throughout the English speaking world. They did not know the history of the origin of the English word "Jew" nor did they care. They accepted the English word "Jew" as the only and as the accepted form of the Latin "Iudaeus" and the Greek "Ioudaios". How could they be expected to have known otherwise?

607

The answer is they could not and they did not. It was a new English word to them. When you studied Latin in your school days you were taught that the letter "I" in Latin when used as the first letter in a word is pronounced like the letter "Y" in English when it is the first letter in words like "yes", "youth" and "yacht". The "I" in "Iudaeus" is pronounced like the "Y" in "yes", "youth", and "yacht" in English. In all the 4th century to 18th century forms for the 18th century "Jew" the letter "I" was pronounced like the English "Y" in "yes", "youth", and "yacht". The same is true of the "Gi" or the "Gy" where it was used in place of the letter "I". The present pronunciation of the word "Jew" in modern English is a development of recent times. In the English language today the "J" in "Jew" is pronounced like the "J" in the English "justice", "jolly", and "jump". This is the case only since the 18th century. Prior to the 18th century the "J" in "Jew" was pronounced exactly like the "Y" in the English "yes", "youth", and "yacht". Until the 18th century and perhaps even later than the 18th century the word "Jew" in English was pronounced like the English "you" or "hew", and the word "Jews" like "youse" or "hews". The present pronunciation of "Jew" in English is a new pronunciation acquired after the 18th century. The German language still retains the Latin original pronunciation. The German "Jude" is the German equivalent of the English "Jew". The "J" in the German "Jude" is pronounced exactly like the English "Y" in "yes", "youth", and "yacht". The German "J" is the equivalent of the Latin "I" and both are pronounced exactly like the English "Y" in "yes", "youth" and "yacht". The German "Jude" is virtually the first syllable of the Latin "Iudaeus" and is pronounced exactly like it. The German "Jude" is the German contraction and corruption of the Latin "Iudaeus" just as the English "Jew" is the contraction and corruption of the Latin "Iudaeus". The German "J" is always pronounced like the English "Y" in "yes", "youth", and "yacht" when it is the first letter of a word. The pronunciation of the "J" in German "Jude" is not an exception to the pronunciation of the "J" in German. The English language as you already know, my dear Dr. Goldstein, is largely made up of words adopted from foreign languages. After their adoption by the English language foreign words were then adapted by contracting their spelling and corrupting their foreign pronunciation to make them more easily pronounced in English from their English spelling. This process of first adopting foreign words and then adapting them by contracting their spelling and corrupting their pronunciation resulted in such new words in the English language as "cab" from the French "cabriolet" and many thousands of other words similarly from

608

their original foreign spelling. Hundreds of others must come to your mind. By this adopting-adapting process the Latin "Iudacus" and the Greek "Ioudaios" finally emerged in the 18th century as "Jew" in the English language. The English speaking peoples struggled through 14 centuries seeking to create for the English language an English equivalent for the Latin "Iudaeus" and the Greek "Ioudaios" which could be easily pronounced in English from its English spelling. The English "Jew" was the resulting 18th century contracted and corrupted form of the Latin "Iudaeus" and the Greek "Ioudaios". The English "Jew" is easily pronounced in English from its English spelling. The Latin "Iudaeus" and the Greek "Ioudaios" cannot be as easily pronounced in English from the Latin and Greek spelling. They were forced to coin a word. The earliest version of the New Testament in English from the Latin Vulgate Edition is the Wyclif, or Wickliffe Edition published in 1380. In the Wyclif Edition Jesus is there mentioned as One of the "iewes". That was the 14th century English version of the Latin "Iudaeus" and was pronounced "hew-weeze", in the plural, and "iewe" pronounced "hewwee" in the singular. In the 1380 Wyclif Edition in English the Gospel by John, XIX.19, reads "Ihesus of nazareth kyng of the iewes". Prior to the 14th century the English language adopted the Anglo-Saxon "kyng" together with many other Anglo-Saxon words in place of the Latin "rex" and the Greek "basileus". The Anglo-Saxon also meant "tribal leader". In the Tyndale Edition of the New Testament in English published in 1525 Jesus was likewise described as One of the "Iewes". In the Coverdale Edition published in 1535 Jesus was also described as One of the "Iewes". In the Coverdale Edition the Gospel by John, XIX.19, reads "Iesus the Nazareth, kynge of the "Iewes". In the Cranmer Edition published in 1539 Jesus was again described as One of the "Iewes". In the Geneva Edition published in 1540-1557 Jesus was also described as One of the "Iewes". In the Rheims Edition published in 1582 Jesus was described as One of the "Ievves". In the King James Edition published in 1604-1611 also known as the Authorized Version Jesus was described again as one of the "Iewes". The forms of the Latin "Iudaeus" were used which were current at the time these translations were made. The translation into English of the Gospel by John, XIX.19, from the Greek in which it was originally written reads "Do not inscribe `the monarch of the Judeans' but that He Himself said `I am monarch' ". In the original Greek manuscript the Greek "basileus" appears for "monarch" in the English and the Greek "Ioudaios" appears for "Judeans" in the English. "Ioudaia" in Greek is "Judea" in English. "Ioudaios" in Greek is "Judeans" in English. There is no reason for any confusion.

609

My dear Dr. Goldstein, if the generally accepted understanding today of the English "Jew" and "Judean" conveyed the identical implications, inferences and innuendoes as both rightly should, it would make no difference which of these two words was used when referring to Jesus in the New Testament or elsewhere. But the implications, inferences, and innuendoes today conveyed by these two words are as different as black is from white. The word "Jew" today is never regarded as a synonym for "Judean" nor is "Judean" regarded as a synonym for "Jew". As I have explained, when the word "Jew" was first introduced into the English language in the 18th century its one and only implication, inference and innuendo was "Judean". However during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries a well-organized and well-financed international "pressure group" created a so-called "secondary meaning" for the word "Jew" among the English- speaking peoples of the world. This so-called "secondary meaning" for the word "Jew" bears no relation whatsoever to the 18th century original connotation of the word "Jew". It is a misrepresentation. The "secondary meaning" of the word "Jew" today bears as little relation to its original and correct meaning as the "secondary meaning" today as for the word "camel" bears to the original and correct meaning of the word "camel", or the "secondary meaning" for the word "ivory" bears to the original and correct meaning of the word "ivory". The "secondary meaning" today for the word "camel" is a cigarette by that name but its original and correct meaning is a desert animal by that ancient name. The "secondary meaning" of the word "ivory" today is a piece of soap but its original and correct meaning is the tusk of a male elephant. The "secondary meaning" of words often become the generally accepted meanings of words formerly having entirely different meanings. This is accomplished by the expenditure of great amounts of money for well-planned publicity. Today if you ask for a "camel" someone will hand you a cigarette by that name. Today if you ask for a piece of "ivory" someone will hand you a piece of soap by that name. You will never receive either a desert animal or a piece of the tusk of a male elephant. That must illustrate the extent to which these "secondary meanings" are able to practically eclipse the original and correct meanings of words in the minds of the general public. The "secondary meaning" for the word "Jew" today has practically totally eclipsed the original and correct meaning of the word "Jew" when it was introduced as a word in the English language. This phenomena is not uncommon.

610

The United States Supreme Court has recognized the "secondary meaning" of words. The highest court in the land has established as basic law that "secondary meanings" can acquire priority rights to the use of any dictionary word. Well-planned and well-financed world-wide publicity through every available media by well-organized groups of socalled or self-styled "Jews" for three centuries has created a "secondary meaning" for the word "Jew" which has completely "blacked out" the original and correct meaning of the word "Jew". There can be no doubt about that. There is not a person in the whole English-speaking world today who regards a "Jew" as a "Judean" in the literal sense of the word. That was the correct and only meaning in the 18th century. The generally accepted "secondary meaning" of the word "Jew" today with practically no exceptions is made up of four almost universally-believed theories. These four theories are that a so-called or self-styled "Jew" is (1) a person who today professes the form of religious worship known as "Judaism", (2) a person who claims to belong to a racial group associated with the ancient Semites, (3) a person directly the descendant of an ancient nation which thrived in Palestine in Bible history, (4) a person blessed by Divine intentional design with certain superior cultural characteristics denied to other racial, religious or national groups, all rolled into one. The present generally accepted "secondary meaning" of the word "Jew" is fundamentally responsible for the confusion in the minds of Christians regarding elementary tenets of the Christian faith. It is likewise responsible today to a very great extent for the dilution of the devotion of countless Christians for their Christian faith. The implications, inferences and innuendoes of the word "Jew" today, to the preponderant majority of intelligent and informed Christians, is contradictory and in complete conflict with incontestable historic fact. Christians who cannot be fooled any longer are suspect of the Christian clergy who continue to repeat, and repeat, and repeat ad nauseam their pet theme song "Jesus was a Jew". It actually now approaches a psychosis. Countless Christians know today that they were "brain washed" by the Christian clergy on the subject "Jesus was a Jew". The resentment they feel is not yet apparent to the Christian clergy. Christians now are demanding from the Christian clergy, "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth". It is now time for the Christian clergy to tell Christians what they should have told them long ago. Of all religious groups in the world Christians appear to be the least informed of any on the subject. Have their spiritual leaders been reckless with the truth?

611

Countless intelligent and informed Christians no longer accept unchallenged assertions by the Christian clergy that Jesus in His lifetime was a Member of a group in Judea which practiced a religious form of worship then which is today called "Judaism", or that Jesus in His lifetime here on earth was a Member of the racial group which today includes the preponderant majority of all so- called or self-styled "Jews" in the world, or that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" throughout the world today are the lineal descendants of the nation in Judea of which Jesus was a national in His lifetime here on earth, or that the cultural characteristics of so- called or self-styled "Jews" throughout the world today correspond with the cultural characteristics of Jesus during His lifetime here on earth and His teachings while He was here on earth for a brief stay. Christians will no longer believe that the race, religion, nationality and culture of Jesus and the race, religion, nationality and culture of so-called or self-styled "Jews" today or their ancestors have a common origin or character. The Talmud From the Birth of Jesus until this day there have never been recorded more vicious and vile libelous blasphemies of Jesus, or Christians and the Christian faith by anyone, anywhere or anytime than you will find between the covers of the infamous "63 books" which are "the legal code which forms the basis of Jewish religious law" as well as the "textbook used in the training of rabbis". The explicit and implicit irreligious character and implications of the contents of the Talmud will open your eyes as they have never been opened before. The Talmud reviles Jesus, Christians and the Christian faith as the priceless spiritual and cultural heritage of Christians has never been reviled before or since the Talmud was completed in the 5th century. You will have to excuse the foul, obscene, indecent, lewd and vile language you will see here as verbatim quotations from the official unabridged translation of the Talmud into English. Be prepared for a surprise. In the year 1935 the international hierarchy of so-called or selfstyled "Jews" for the first time in history published an official unabridged translation of the complete Talmud in the English language with complete footnotes. What possessed them to make this translation into English is one of the unsolved mysteries. It was probably done because so many so-called or self-styled "Jews" of the younger generation were unable to read the Talmud in the many ancient languages in which the original "63 books" of the Talmud were first composed by their authors in many lands between 200 B.C. and 500 A.D.

612

The international hierarchy of so-called or self-styled "Jews" selected the most learned scholars to make this official translation of the Talmud into English. These famous scholars also prepared official footnotes explaining unabridged translation of the Talmud into English where they were required. This official unabridged translation of the Talmud into English with the official footnotes was printed in London in 1935 by the Soncino Press. It has been always referred to as the Soncino Edition of the Talmud. A very limited number of the Soncino Edition were printed. They were not made available to any purchaser. The Soncino Edition of the Talmud is to be found in the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library. A set of the Soncino Edition of the Talmud has been available to me for many years. They have become rare "collector's items" by now. The Soncino Edition of the Talmud with its footnotes is like a double-edged sword. It teaches the Talmud to countless millions of the younger generation of so-called or self-styled "Jews" who are not able to read the Talmud in the many ancient languages in which the Talmud was written by its authors between 200 B.C. and 500 A.D. It also teaches Christians what the Talmud has to say about Jesus, About Christians and about the Christian faith. Someday this is bound to back-fire. Christians will some day challenge the assertion that the Talmud is the "sort of book" from which Jesus allegedly "drew the teachings which enabled him to revolutionize the world" on "moral and religious subjects". The rumbling is already heard in places. Verbatim quotations from the Soncino Edition of the Talmud are required to illustrate the enormity of the Talmud's iniquity. My comments with verbatim quotations will prove inadequate to do that. In spite of the low language I will of necessity therefore include in this letter to you I have no compunctions in the matter because the United States Post Office authorities do not bar the Soncino Edition of the Talmud from the mails. Nevertheless I apologize in advance for the language which will of necessity appear in this letter to you. You now understand. The official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud published in 1935 was "Translated into English with Notes, Glossary and Indices" by such eminent Talmudic scholars as Rabbi Dr. I. Epstein, Rabbi Dr. Samuel Daiches, Rabbi Dr. Israel W. Slotki, M.A., Litt.D., The Reverend Dr. A. Cohen, M.A.', Ph.D., Maurice Simon, M.A., and the Very Reverend The Chief Rabbi Dr. J.H. Hertz wrote the "Foreword" for the Soncino Edition of the Talmud. The Very Reverend Rabbi Hertz was at the time the Chief Rabbi of England. The following are but a few of the many similar quotations with footnotes from the Soncino Edition of the Talmud, the "sort of book"

613

from which Jesus allegedly "drew the teachings which enabled him to revolutionize the world" on "moral and religious" subjects: (Book) SANHEDRIN, 55b-55a: "What is meant by this? - Rab said: Pederasty with a child below nine years of age is not deemed as pederasty with a child above that. Samuel said: Pederasty with a child below three years is not treated as with a child above that (2) What is the basis of their dispute? - Rab maintains that only he who is able to engage in sexual intercourse, may, as the passive subject of pederasty throw guilty (upon the actual offender); whilst he who is unable to engage in sexual intercourse cannot be a passive subject of pederasty (in that respect) (3). But Samuel maintains: Scriptures writes, (And thou shalt not lie with mankind) as with the lyings of a woman (4). It has been taught in accordance with Rab: Pederasty at the age of nine years and a day; (55a) (he) who commits bestiality, whether naturally or unnaturally: or a woman who causes herself to be beastially abused, whether naturally or unnaturally, is liable to punishment (5)."

(footnotes) "(1) The reference is to the passive subject of sodomy. As stated in supra 54a, guilt is incurred by the active participant even if the former be a minor; i.e., less than thirteen years old. Now, however, it is stated that within this age a distinction is drawn. (2) Rab makes nine years the minimum; but if one committed sodomy with a child of lesser age, no guilt is incurred. Samuel makes three the minimum. (3) At nine years a male attains sexual matureness. (4) Lev XVIII, 22 (5) Rashi reads ("xxx") (Hebrew characters, Ed.) instead of ("zzz") (Hebrew characters, Ed.) in our printed texts. A male, aged nine years and a day, who commits etc. There are thus three distinct clauses in this Baraitha. The first-a male aged nine years and a day - refers to the passive subject of pederasty, the punishment being incurred by the adult offender. This must be its meaning: because firstly, the active offender is never explicitly designated as a male, it being understood, just as the Bible states, Thou shalt not lie with mankind, where only the sex of the passive participant is mentioned; and secondly, if the age reference is to the active party, the guilt being incurred by the passive adult party, why single out pederasty: in all crimes of incest, the passive adult does not incur guilt unless the other party is at least nine years and a day? Hence the Baraitha supports Rab's

614

contention that nine years (and a day) is the minimum age of the passive partner for the adult to be liable." (emphasis in original, Ed.) Before giving any more verbatim quotations from the "sort of book" from which it is falsely alleged Jesus "drew the teachings which enabled him to revolutionize the world" on "moral and religious subjects" I wish to here again recall to your attention the official statement by Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer in `Look' Magazine for June 17, 1952. In that official statement made by Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer on behalf of The American Jewish Committee, self- styled "The Vatican of Judaism", informed the 20,000,000 readers of "Look' magazine that the Talmud "IS THE LEGAL CODE WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF JEWISH RELIGIOUS LAW AND IT IS THE TEXTBOOK USED IN THE TRAINING OF RABBIS". Please bear this in mind as you read further. Before continuing I wish also to call your attention to another feature. Confirming the official view of Rabbi Morris N. Kertzer, the New York `Times' on May 20, 1954 ran a news item under the headline "Rabbis Plan a Fund to Endow Two Chairs". The news item itself ran as follows: "Special to the New York Times, Uniontown, Pa. May 19 - Plans for raising $500,000, for the creation of two endowed chairs at the `Jewish Theological Seminary of America' were announced today at the fifty-forth annual convention of the `Rabbinical Assembly of America'. THE PROFESSORSHIPS WOULD BE KNOWN AS THE LOUIS GINSBERG CHAIR IN TALMUD..." This is further proof that the Talmud is not yet quite a dead-letter in the "TRAINING OF RABBIS". Is further proof needed on that question? The world's leading authorities on the Talmud confirm that the official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud translated into English follows the original texts with great exactness. It is almost a word-forword translation of the original texts. In his famous classic "The History of the Talmud Michael Rodkinson, the leading authority on the Talmud, in collaboration with the celebrated Reverend Dr. Isaac M. Wise states: With the conclusion of the first volume of this work at the beginning of the twentieth century, we would invite the reader to take a glance over the past of the Talmud, in which he will see... that not only was the Talmud not destroyed, but was so saved that NOT A SINGLE LETTER OF IT IS MISSING; and now IT IS FLOURISHING TO SUCH A DEGREE AS CANNOT BE FOUND IN ITS PAST HISTORY...THE TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD. During the twenty centuries of its existence...IT SURVIVED IN ITS ENTIRETY, and not only has the

615

power of its foes FAILED TO DESTROY EVEN A SINGLE LINE, but it has not even been able materially to weaken its influence for any length of time. IT STILL DOMINATES THE MINDS OF A WHOLE PEOPLE, WHO VENERATE ITS CONTENTS AS DIVINE TRUTH... The colleges for the study of the Talmud are increasing almost in every place where Israel dwells, especially in this country where millions are gathered for the funds of the two colleges, the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York, in which the chief study is the Talmud... There are also in our city houses of learning (Jeshibath) for the study of the Talmud in the lower East Side, where many young men are studying the Talmud every day."

[Editorial Note: Today, the mission of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York which is a tax exempt organization has a new mission according to Wikipedia and now accepts Lesbian, Gays, and Mixed Queers: Admission of LGBT students Since March 2007, JTS has accepted openly gay students into their rabbinical and cantorial programs (the Seminary's other three schools upheld such non-discrimination policies prior to this date). A survey conducted prior to the decision indicated that 58% of the rabbinical student body supported this change.[41] The school issued a press release[42] announcing the new admission policy, without taking a stance on same-sex unions. JTS marked the first year anniversary of the change with a special program. Some students who opposed the change in admission policy said they felt excluded from the day's program because it did not sufficiently recognize the pluralism in the student body. In April 2011, JTS held a Yom Iyyun, or day of learning, about LGBTQ issues, and their intersection with Judaism. Joy Ladin, a transgender woman who teaches English at Yeshiva University, gave a talk about her life. Other programs included creating welcoming communities, and inclusive prayer, among others.

New Mission In May 2010, the Jewish Theological Seminary under Arnold Eisen's leadership unveiled the following mission statement: The Jewish Theological Seminary of America is a preeminent institution of Jewish higher education that integrates rigorous academic scholarship and teaching with a commitment to strengthening Jewish tradition, Jewish lives, and Jewish communities. JTS articulates a vision of Judaism that is learned and passionate, pluralist and authentic, traditional and egalitarian; one that is thoroughly grounded in Jewish texts, history, and practices, and fully engaged with the societies and cultures of the present. Our vision joins faith with inquiry; the covenant of our ancestors with the creative insights of today; intense involvement in the society and State of Israel with devotion to the flowering of Judaism throughout the world; service to the Jewish community, as well as to all of the communities of which Jews are a part: our society, our country, and our world. JTS serves North American Jewry by educating intellectual and spiritual leaders for Conservative Judaism and the vital religious center, training rabbis, cantors, scholars, educators, communal professionals, and lay activists who are inspired by our vision of Torah and dedicated to assisting in its realization.[43][44] The Seminary sees its mission statement as based on six principles: [44] Scholarship in Service to Judaism and the Jewish Community Excellence in Teaching and Learning Synergy (bringing students from its different schools together) Partnerships (with other institutions) Reaching New Types of Students Engaging and Strengthening Conservative Judaism and the Religious Center][End of Editorial Commentary] Freedman letter cont. This "divine truth" which "a whole people venerate" of which "not a single letter of it is missing" and today "is flourishing to such a degree as cannot be found in its history" is illustrated by the additional verbatim quotations which follow:

617

(Book) SANHEDRIN, 55b: "A maiden three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband's brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. The penalty of adultery may be incurred through her; (if a niddah) she defiles him who has connection with her, so that he in turn defiles that upon which he lies, as a garment which has lain upon (a person afflicted with gonorrhea)." (emphasis in original text of Soncino Edition, Ed.) (footnotes) "(2) His wife derives no pleasure from this, and hence there is no cleaving. (3) A variant reading of this passage is: Is there anything permitted to a Jew which is forbidden to a heathen. Unnatural connection is permitted to a Jew. (4) By taking the two in conjunction, the latter as illustrating the former, we learn that the guilt of violating the injunction `to his wife but not to his neighbor's wife' is incurred only for natural but not for unnatural intercourse." (emphasis in original, Ed.)

(Book) SANHEDRIN, 69a " `A man'; from this I know the law only with respect to a man: whence do I know it of one aged nine years and a day who is capable of intercourse? From the verse, And `if a man'? (2)-He replied: Such a minor can produce semen, but cannot beget therewith; for it is like the seed of cereals less than a third grown (3)." (footnotes) (2) `And' (`) indicates an extension of the law, and is here interpreted to include a minor aged nine years and a day. (3) Such cereals contain seed, which if sown, however, will not grow." (Book) SANHEDRIN, 69b "Our rabbis taught: If a woman sported lewdly with her young son (a minor), and he committed the first stage of cohabitation with her, -Beth Shammai say, he thereby renders her unfit for the priesthood (1). Beth Hillel declare her fit...All agree that the connection of a boy nine years and a day is a real connection; whilst that of one less than eight years is not (2); their dispute refers only to one who is eight years old. (footnotes) (1) i.e., she becomes a harlot whom a priest may not marry (Lev XXL,7.). (2) so that if he was nine years and a day or more, Beth

Hillel agree that she is invalidated from the priesthood; whilst if he was less than eight, Beth Shammai agree that she is not." (Book) KETHUBOTH, 5b. "The question was asked: Is it allowed (15) to perform the first marital act on the Sabbath? (16). Is the blood (in the womb) stored up (17), or is it the result of a wound? (18). (footnotes) "(15) Lit., `how is it'? (16) When the intercourse could not take place before the Sabbath (Tosaf) (17) And the intercourse would be allowed, since the blood flows out of its own accord, no would having been made. (18) Lit., or is it wounded? And the intercourse would be forbidden." (Book) KETHUBOTH, 10a-10b. "Someone came before Rabban Gamaliel the son of Rabbi (and) said to him, `my master I have had intercourse (with my newly wedded wife) and I have not found any blood (7). She (the wife) to him, `My master, I am still a virgin'. He (then) said to them; Bring me two handmaids, one (who is) a virgin and one who had intercourse with a man. They brought to him (two such handmaids), and he placed them on a cask of wine. (In the case of ) the one who was no more a virgin its smell (1) went through (2), (in the case of) the virgin the smell did not go through (3). He (then) placed this one (the young wife) also (on the cask of wine), and its smell (4) did not go through. He (then) said to him: Go, be happy with thy bargain (7). But he should have examined her from the beginning (8)." (footnotes) "(1) i.e., the smell of wine. (2) One could smell the wine from the mouth (Rashi).

(8) Why did he first have to experiment with the two handmaids." (Book) KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. "Rabba said, It means (5) this: When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (6), it is as if one puts the finger in the eye (7), but when a small boy has intercourse with a grown up woman, he makes her as `a girl who is injured by a piece of wood' ".

(footnotes) "(5). Lit., `says'. (6) Lit., `here', that is, less than three years old. (7) Tears come to the eyes again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years." (Book) KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b. "Rab Judah said that Rab said: A small boy who has intercourse with a grown up woman makes her (as though she were ) injured by a piece of wood (1). Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood." (footnotes) "(1) Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood."

But, surely it is written, (1)- They might rule that in the natural way even the first stage of contact is forbidden; and in an unnatural way, however, is (that the ruling might have been permitted) (3) even in the natural way (4) alleging (that the prohibition of) the first stage (5) has reference to a menstruant woman only (6).

From the age of nine years and one day. (37a) for inasmuch as he is then capable of the sexual act he likewise defiles by emission.

That in connection with the designated bondmaid (is required) as has just been explained (12). That in connection with a married woman excludes intercourse with a relaxed membrum (13). This is a satisfactory interpretation in accordance with the view of him who maintains that if one cohabited with forbidden relatives with relaxed membrum he is exonerated (14); what, however, can be said, according to him who maintains (that for such an act one is) guilty? The exclusion is rather that of intercourse with a dead woman (15).

History of the Khazars (The Jews of todays Israel) With a complete and accurate knowledge of the origin and history of the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe, my dear Dr. Goldstein, it is quite impossible for yourself or for anybody to intelligently understand the harmful influence the Talmud has exerted for ten centuries, and the "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer for seven centuries upon the course of world history. These two little known factors are the hub and the spokes of the "big wheel" rolling merrily along the road to complete world domination in the not distant future, without arousing suspicion, and wearing the innocent disguise of an alleged religious belief as their only defense mechanism. This insidious intrigue creates a most effective camouflage for the conspirators. The virility of their plot presents a problem in the defense of the political, economic, social and cultural ideologies developed under a Christian civilization. You will probably also be an astonished as the 150,000,000 Christians years ago when I electrified the nation with the first publication by me of the facts disclosed by my many years of research into the origin and the history of the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe. My many years of intensive research established beyond the question of any doubt, contrary to the generally accepted belief held by Christians, that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe at any time in their history in eastern Europe were never the legendary "lost ten tribes" of Bible lore. That historic fact is incontrovertible. Relentless research established as equally true that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe at no time in their history could be correctly regarded as the direct lineal descendants of the legendary "lost ten tribes" of Bible lore. The so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe in modern history cannot legitimately point to a single ancient ancestor who ever set even a foot on the soil of Palestine in the era of Bible history. Research also revealed that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe were never "Semites", are not "Semites" now,

625

nor can they ever be regarded as "Semites" at any future time by any stretch of the imagination. Exhaustive research also irrevocably rejects as a fantastic fabrication the generally accepted belief by Christians that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe are the legendary "Chosen People" so very vocally publicized by the Christian clergy form their pulpits. Maybe you can explain to me, my dear Dr. Goldstein, the reason why and just how the origin and the history of the Khazars and Khazar Kingdom was so well concealed from the world for so many centuries? What secret mysterious power has been able for countless generations to keep the origin and the history of the Khazars and Khazar Kingdom out of history text-books and out of class-room courses in history throughout the world? The origin and history of the Khazars and Khazar Kingdom are certainly incontestable historical facts. These incontestable historic facts also establish beyond any question of doubt the origin and history of the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe. The origin and history of the Khazars and Khazar kingdom and their relationship to the origin and early history of the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe was one of history's best kept secrets until wide publicity was given in recent years to my research on this subject. Do you not think, my dear Dr. Goldstein, that it is time this whole subject was dragged out of its hiding place? In the year 1948 in the Pentagon in Washington I addressed a large assembly of the highest ranking officers of the United States Army principally in the G2 branch of Military Intelligence on the highly explosive geopolitical situation in eastern Europe and the Middle East. Then as now that area of the world was a potential threat to the peace of the world and to the security of this nation I explained to them fully the origin of the Khazars and Khazar Kingdom. I felt then as I feel now that without a clear and comprehensive knowledge of that subject it is not possible to understand or to evaluate properly what has been taking place in the world since 1917, the year of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. It is the "key" to that problem. Upon the conclusion of my talk a very alert Lieutenant Colonel present at the meeting informed me that he was the head of the history department of one of the largest and highest scholastic rated institutions of higher education in the United States. He had taught history there for 16 years. He had recently been called back to Washington for further military service. To my astonishment he informed me that he had never in all his career as a history teachers or otherwise heard the word "khazar" before he heard me mention it there. That must give you some idea, my dear Dr. Goldstein, of how successful that mysterious secret

626

power was with their plot to "block out" the origin and the history of the Khazars and Khazar Kingdom in order to conceal from the world and particularly Christians the true origin and the history of the so-called or self- styled "Jews" in eastern Europe. The Russian conquest in the 10th-13th centuries of the little-knownto-history Khazars apparently ended the existence for all time of the little-known-to-history 800,000 square mile sovereign kingdom of the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe, known then as the Khazar Kingdom. Historians and theologians now agree that this political development was the reason for the "IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE WORDING OF THE `KOL NIDRE' by Meir ben Samuel in the 11th century, and for the policy adopted by the so-called or self-styled "Jews" that "THE LAW OF REVOCATION IN ADVANCE WAS NOT MADE PUBLIC". Will you be patient with me while I review here as briefly as I can the history of that political emergence and disappearance of a nation from the pages of history? Prior to the 10th century the Khazar Kingdom had already been reduced by Russian conquests to an area of about 800,000 square miles. As you can see on the map from the Jewish Encyclopedia [Reproduced in the book form of this tract, "Facts are Facts"] the territory of the Khazar Kingdom in the 10th century was still by far the largest of any nation in Europe. The population of the Khazar Kingdom was made up for the most part of Khazars with the addition of the remnants of the populations of the 25 peaceful agricultural nations which had inhabited this approximately 1,000,000 square miles before their conquest by the invading Khazars. In the 1st century B.C. the Khazars had invaded eastern Europe from their homeland in Asia. The Khazars invaded eastern Europe via the land route between the north end of the Caspian Sea and the south end of the Ural Mountains. (see map.) The Khazars were not "Semites". They were an Asiatic Mongoloid nation. They are classified by modern anthropologists as Turco-Finns racially. From time immemorial the homeland of the Khazars was in the heart of Asia. They were a very warlike nation. The Khazars were driven out of Asia finally by the nations in Asia with whom they were continually at war. The Khazars invaded eastern Europe to escape further defeats in Asia. The very warlike Khazars did not find it difficult to subdue and conquer the 25 peaceful agricultural nations occupying approximately 1,000,000 square miles in eastern Europe. In a comparatively short period the Khazars established the largest and most powerful kingdom in Europe, and probably the wealthiest also. The Khazars were a pagan nation when they invaded eastern Europe. Their religious worship was a mixture of phallic worship and

627

other forms of idolatrous worship practiced in Asia by pagan nations This form of worship continued until the 7th century. The vile forms of sexual excess indulged in by the Khazars as their form of religious worship produced a degree of moral degeneracy the Khazar's king could not endure. In the 7th century King Bulan, ruler at that time of the Khazar Kingdom, decided to abolish the practice of phallic worship and other forms of idolatrous worship and make one of the three monotheistic religions, about which he knew very little, the new state religion. After a historic session with representatives of the three monotheistic religions King Bulan decided against Christian and Islam and selected as the future state religion as the religious worship then know as "Talmudism", and now known and practiced as "Judaism". This even is well documented in history. King Bulan and his 4000 feudal nobles were promptly converted by rabbis imported from Babylonia for that event. Phallic worship and other forms of idolatry were thereafter forbidden. The Khazar kings invited large numbers of rabbis to come and open synagogues and schools to instruct the population in the new form of religious worship. It was now the state religion. The converted Khazars were the first population of socalled or self-styled "Jews' in eastern Europe. So-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe after the conversion of the Khazars the descendants of the Khazars converted to "Talmudism", or as it is now know "Judaism", by the 7th century mass conversion of the Khazar population. After the conversion of King Bulan none but a so-called or selfstyled "Jew" could occupy the Khazar throne. The Khazar Kingdom became a virtual theocracy. The religious leaders were the civil administrators also. The religious leaders imposed the teachings of the Talmud upon the population as their guide to living. The ideologies of the Talmud became the axis of political, cultural, economic and social attitudes and activities throughout the Khazar kingdom. The Talmud provided civil and religious law. It might be very interesting for you, my dear Dr. Goldstein, if you have the patience, to allow me to quote for you here form Volume IV, pages 1 to 5, of the Jewish Encyclopedia. The Jewish Encyclopedia refers to the Khazars as "Chazars". The two spellings are optional according to the best authorities. The two are pronounced alike. Either Khazar or "Chazar" is pronounced like the first syllable of "costume" with the word "Czar" added onto it. It is correctly pronounced "cos(tume)Czar". The Jewish Encyclopedia has five pages on the Khazars but I will skip through them:

628

"CHAZARS: A people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF THE HISTORY OF THE JEWS OF RUSSIA ... driven on by the nomadic tribes of the steppes and by THEIR OWN DESIRE FOR PLUNDER AND REVENGE ... In the second half of the sixth century the Chazars moved westward...The kingdom of the Chazars was firmly established in MOST OF SOUTH RUSSIA LONG BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE RUSSIAN MONARCHY BY THE VARANGIAN (855) ... At this time the kingdom of the Chazars stood at the height of its power AND WAS CONSTANTLY AT WAR ... At the end of the eighth century ... the chagan (king) of the Chazars and his grandees, TOGETHER WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF HIS HEATHEN PEOPLE, EMBRACED THE JEWISH RELIGION ...

629

The Jewish population in the entire domain of the Chazars, in the period between the seventh and tenth centuries, MUST HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLE ... about THE NINTH CENTURY, IT APPEARS AS IF ALL THE CHAZARS WERE JEWS AND THAT THEY HAD BEEN CONVERTED TO JUDAISM ONLY A SHORT TIME BEFORE... It was one of the successors of Bulan named Obadiah, who regenerated the kingdom and STRENGTHENED THE JEWISH RELIGION. He invited Jewish scholars to settle in his dominions, and founded SYNAGOGUES AND SCHOOLS. The people were instructed in the bible, Mishnah, and the TALMUD and in the `divine service of the hazzanim'.. In their writings the CHAZARS USED THE HEBREW LETTERS ... THE CHAZAR LANGUAGES PREDOMINATED... Obadiah was succeeded by his son Isaac; Isaac by his son Moses (or Manasseh II); the latter by his son Nisi; and Nisi by his son Aaron II. King Joseph himself was a son of Aaron, AND ASCENDED THE THRONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE CHAZARS RELATING TO SUCCESSION ... The king had twenty-five wives, all of royal blood, and sixty concubines, all famous beauties. Each one slept in a separate tent and was watched by a eunuch ... THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN THE BEGINNING OF THE DOWNFALL OF THE CHAZAR KINGDOM ... The Russian Varangians established themselves at Kiev... until the final conquest of the Chazars by the Russians ... After a hard fight the Russians conquered the Chazars... Four years later the Russians conquered all the Chazarian territory east of the Azov ... many members of the Chazarian royal family emigrated to Spain... Some went to Hungary, BUT THE GREAT MASS OF THE PEOPLE REMAINED IN THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY." The greatest historian on the origin and the history of the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe was Professor H. Graetz, himself a so-called or self-styled "Jew". Professor H. Graetz points out in his famous "History of the Jews" that when so-called or self-styled "Jews" in other countries heard a rumor about so-called or self-styled "Jews" in the Khazar Kingdom they believed these converted Khazars to be the "lost ten tribes". These rumors were no doubt responsible for the legend which grew up that Palestine was the "homeland" of the converted Khazars. On page 141 in his "History of the Jews" Professor H. Graetz states: "The Chazars professed a coarse religion, which was combined with sensuality and lewdness...After Obadia came a long series of Jewish Chagans (kings), for ACCORDING TO A FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF THE STATE ONLY JEWISH RULERS WERE PERMITTED TO ASCEND THE THRONE...For some time THE JEWS OF OTHER COUNTRIES HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONVERSION OF THIS POWERFUL

KINGDOM TO JUDAISM, and when at last a vague rumor to this effect reached them, THEY WERE OF THE OPINION THAT CHAZARIA WAS PEOPLED BY THE REMNANT OF THE FORMER TEN TRIBES." When the Khazars in the 1st century B.C. invaded eastern Europe their mother-tongue was an Asiatic language, referred to in the Jewish Encyclopedia as the "Khazar languages". They were primitive Asiatic dialects without any alphabet or any written form. When King Bulan was converted in the 7th century he decreed that the Hebrew characters he saw in the Talmud and other Hebrew documents was thereupon to become the alphabet for the Khazar language. The Hebrew characters were adopted to the phonetics of the spoken Khazar language. The Khazars adopted the characters of the so-called Hebrew language in order to provide a means for providing a written record of their speech. The adoption of the Hebrew characters had no racial, political or religious implication. The western European uncivilized nations which had no alphabet for their spoken language adopted the alphabet of the Latin language under comparable circumstances. With the invasion of western Europe by the Romans the civilization and the culture of the Romans was introduced into these uncivilized areas. Thus the Latin alphabet was adopted for the language of the French, Spanish, ENGLISH, Swedish and many other western European languages. These languages were completely foreign to each other yet they all used the same alphabet. The Romans brought their alphabet with their culture to these uncivilized nations exactly like the rabbis brought the Hebrew alphabet from Babylonia to the Khazars when they introduced writing to them in the form of the Talmud's alphabet. Since the conquest of the Khazars by the Russians and the disappearance of the Khazar Kingdom the language of the Khazars is known as Yiddish. for about six centuries the so-called or self- styled "Jews" of eastern Europe have referred to themselves while still resident in their native eastern European countries as "Yiddish" by nationality. They identified themselves as "Yiddish" rather than as Russian, Polish, Galician, Lithuanian, Rumanian, Hungarian or by the nation of which they were citizens. They also referred to the common language they all spoke as "Yiddish" also. There are today in New York City as you know, my dear Dr. Goldstein, many "Yiddish" newspapers, "Yiddish" theaters, and many other cultural organizations of so-called or self-styled "Jews" from eastern Europe which are identified publicly by the word "Yiddish" in their title. Before it became known as the "Yiddish" language, the mothertongue of the Khazars added many words to its limited ancient

631

vocabulary as necessity required. These words were acquired from the languages of its neighboring nations with whom they had political, social or economic relations. Languages of all nations add to their vocabularies in the same way. The Khazars adapted words to their requirements form the German, the Slavonic and the Baltic languages. The Khazars adopted a great number of words from the German language. The Germans had a much more advanced civilization than their Khazar neighbors and the Khazars sent their children to German schools and universities. The "Yiddish" language is not a German dialect. Many people are led to believe so because "Yiddish" has borrowed so many words from the German language. If "Yiddish" is a German dialect acquired from the Germans then what language did the Khazars speak for 1000 years they existed in eastern Europe before they acquired culture from the Germans? The Khazars must have spoken some language when they invaded eastern Europe. What was that language? When did they discard it? How did the entire Khazar population discard one language and adopt another all of a sudden? The idea is too absurd to discuss. "Yiddish" is the modern name for the ancient mother-tongue of the Khazars with added German, Slavonic and Baltic adopted and adapted numerous words. "Yiddish" must not be confused with "Hebrew" because they both use the same characters as their alphabets. There is not one word of "Yiddish" in ancient "Hebrew" nor is there one word of ancient "Hebrew" in "Yiddish". As I stated before, they are as totally different as Swedish and Spanish which both likewise use the same Latin characters for their alphabets. The "Yiddish" languages is the cultural common denominator for all the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in or from eastern Europe. To the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in and from eastern Europe, "Yiddish" serves them like the English language serves the populations of the 48 states of the United States. Their cultural common denominator throughout the 48 states is the English language, or wherever they may emigrate and resettle. The English language is the tie which binds them to each other. It is the same with the "Yiddish" language and so-called or self-styled "Jews" throughout the world. "Yiddish" serves another very useful purpose for so-called or selfstyled "Jews" throughout the world. They possess in "Yiddish" what no other national, racial or religious group can claim. Approximately 90% of the world's so-called or self-styled "Jews" living in 42 countries of the world today are either emigrants from eastern Europe, or their parents emigrated from eastern Europe. "Yiddish" is a language common to all of them as their first or second language according to where they were born. It is an "international" language to them. Regardless of what country in the world they may settle in they will always find co-religionists who also

632

speak "Yiddish". "Yiddish" enjoys other international advantages too obvious to describe here. "Yiddish" is the modern language of a nation which has lost its existence as a nation. "Yiddish" never had a religious implication, although using Hebrew characters for its alphabet. It must not be confused with words like "Jewish". But it is very much. Directly north of the Khazar Kingdom at the height of its power a small Slavic state was organized in 820 A.D. on the south shore of the Gulf of Finland where it flows into the Baltic Sea. This small state was organized by a small group of Varangians from the Scandinavian peninsula on the opposite shore of the Baltic Sea. The native population of this newly formed state consisted of nomad Slavs who had made their home in this area from earliest recorded history. This infant nation was even small than our state of Delaware. This newly-born state however was the embryo which developed into the great Russian Empire. In less than 1000 years since 820 A.D. this synthetic nation expanded its borders by ceaseless conquests until it now includes more than 9,500,000 square miles in Europe and Asia, or more than three times the area of continental United States, and they have not stopped. During the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries the rapidly expanding Russian nation gradually swallowed up the Khazar kingdom, its neighbor directly to the south. The conquest of the Khazar Kingdom by the Russians supplies history with the explanation for the presence after the 13th century of the large number of so-called or self-styled "Jews" in Russia. The large number of so-called or self-styled "Jews" in Russia and in eastern Europe after the destruction of the Khazar Kingdom were thereafter no longer known as Khazars but as the "Yiddish" populations of these many countries. They so refer to themselves today. In the many wars with her neighbors in Europe after the 13th century Russia was required to cede to her victors large areas which were originally part of the Khazar Kingdom. In this manner Poland, Lithuania, Galicia, Hungary, Rumania, and Austria acquired from Russia territory originally a part of the Khazar Kingdom. Together with this territory these nations acquired a segment of the population of so-called or selfstyled "Jews" descended from the Khazars who once occupied the territory. These frequent boundary changes by the nations in eastern Europe explains the presence today of so-called or self-styled "Jews" in all these countries who all trace their ancestry back to the converted Khazars. Their common language, their common culture, their common religion, and their common racial characteristics classify them all beyond any question of doubt with the Khazars who invaded eastern Europe in

633

the 1st century B.C. and were converted to "Talmudism" in the 7th century. The so-called or self-styled "Jews" throughout the world today of eastern European origin make up at least 90% of the world's total present population of so-called or self-styled "Jews". The conversion of King Bulan and the Khazar nation in the 7th century accomplished for "Talmudism", or for "Judaism" as "Talmudism" is called today, what the conversion of Constantine and the western European nations accomplished for Christianity. Christianity was a small comparatively unimportant religious belief practiced principally in the eastern Mediterranean area until the conversion to the Christian faith of the large populations of the western European pagan nations after the conversion of Constantine. "Talmudism", or "Judaism" as "Talmudism" is known today, was given its greatest stimulus in all its history with the conversion of the large pagan Khazar population in the 7th century. Without the conversion of the Khazar population it is doubtful if "Talmudism", or "Judaism" as "Talmudism" is known today, could have survived. "Talmudism", the civil and religious code of the Pharisees, most likely would have passed out of existence like the many other creeds and cults practiced by the peoples in that area before, during and after "Pharisaism" assumed its prominent position among these creeds and cults in the time of Jesus. "Talmudism", as "Pharisaism" was called later, would have disappeared with all its contemporary creeds and cults but for the conversion of the Khazars to "Talmudism" in the 7th century. At that time "Talmudism" was well on its way towards complete oblivion. In the year 986 A. D. the ruler of Russia, Vladimir III, became a convert to the Christian faith in order to marry a Catholic Slavonic princess of a neighboring sovereign state. The marriage was otherwise impossible. Vladimir III thereupon also made his newly-acquired Christian faith the state religion of Russia replacing the pagan worship formerly practiced in Russia since it was founded in 820 A.D. Vladimir III and his successors as the rulers of Russia attempted in vain to convert his so-called or self-styled "Jews", now Russian subjects, to Russia's Christian state religion and to adopt the customs and culture of the numerically predominant Russian Christian population. The so-called or self- styled "Jews" in Russia refused and resisted this plan vigorously. They refused to adopt the Russian alphabet in place of the Hebrew characters used in writing their "Yiddish" language. They resisted the substitution of the Russian language for "Yiddish" as their mothertongue. They opposed every attempt to bring about the complete assimilation of the former sovereign Khazar nation into the Russian nation. They resisted with every means at their disposal. The many forms

634

of tension which resulted produced situations described by history as "massacres", "pogroms", "persecution", discrimination, etc. In Russia at that period of history it was the custom as in other Christian countries in Europe at that time to take an oath, vow or pledge of loyalty to the rulers, the nobles, the feudal landholders and others in the name of Jesus Christ. It was after the conquest of the Khazars by the Russians that the wording of the "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer was altered. The new altered version of the "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer is referred to in the Talmud as "the law of revocation in advance". The "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer was regarded as a "law". The effect of this "LAW OF REVOCATION IN ADVANCE" obtained for all who recited it each year on the eve of the Day of Atonement divine dispensation from all obligations acquired under "oaths, vows and pledges" to be made or taken in the COMING YEAR. The recital of the "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer on the eve of the Day of Atonement released those so-called or self-styled "Jews" from any obligation under "oaths, vows or pledges" entered into during the NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. The "oaths, vows and pledges" made or taken by so-called or self-styled "Jews" were made or taken "with tongue in cheek" for twelve months. The altered version of the "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer created serious difficulties for the so-called or self-styled "Jews" when its wording became public property. It apparently did not remain a secret very long, although the Talmud states "the law of revocation in advance was not made public". The altered version of the "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer soon became known as the "Jews Vow" and cast serious doubt upon "oaths, vows or pledges" given to Christians by so-called or self-styled "Jews". Christians soon believed that "oaths, vows or pledges" were quite worthless when given by so-called or self-styled "Jews". This was the basis for so-called "discrimination" by governments, nobles, feudal landholders, and others who required oaths of allegiance and loyalty from those who entered their service. An intelligent attempt was made to correct this situation by a group of German rabbis in 1844. In that year they called an international conference of rabbis in Brunswick, Germany. They attempted to have the "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer completely eliminated from the Day of Atonement ceremonies, and entirely abolish from any religious service of their faith. They felt that this secular prologue to the Day of Atonement ceremonies was void of any spiritual implication and did not belong in any synagogue ritual. However the preponderant majority of the rabbis attending that conference in Brunswick came from eastern Europe. They represented congregations of Yiddish-speaking so-called or self- styled "Jews" of converted Khazar origin in eastern Europe. They insisted that

635

the altered version of the "Kol Nidre" (All Vows) prayer be retained exactly as it was then recited on the Day of Atonement. They demanded that it be allowed to remain as it had been recited in eastern Europe since the change by Meir ben Samuel six centuries earlier. It is today recited in exactly that form throughout the world by so-called or self-styled "Jews". Will the 150,000,000 Christians in the United States react any differently when they become more aware of its insidious implications? How genuine can the implications, inferences and innuendoes of the so-called "brotherhood" and "interfaith" movements be under these circumstances? These so-called movements are sweeping the nations like prairie fires. If the Talmud is the axis of the political, economic, cultural and social attitudes and activities of so-called or self-styled "Jews" participating in these two so-called movements, how genuine are the "oaths, vows or pledges" taken or given in connection with these two socalled movements by so-called or self-styled "Jews"? It would be a superlative gesture of "brotherhood" or of "interfaith" if the National Conference of Christians and Jews succeeded in expunging from the Talmud all anti-Christ, anti-Christian, and anti- Christianity passages. At a cost of many millions of dollars the National Conference of Christians and Jews succeeded in expunging from the New Testament passages which so-called or self-styled "Jews" regarded as offensive to their faith. A great portion of the cost was supplied by so-called or self-styled "Jews". Christians might now supply funds to expunge from the Talmud passages offensive to the Christian faith. Otherwise the so-called "brotherhood" and "interfaith" movements are merely mockeries. The National Conference of Christians and Jews might look into the millions of dollars being invested today by so-called or self-styled "Jews" to insure that the Talmud shall remain the axis of political, economic, cultural and social attitudes and activities of so-called or self-styled "Jews" today, and future generations. Violating the basic principle of "brotherhood" and "interfaith" so-called or self-styled "Jews" are spending millions of dollars each year to establish and equip quarters where the teachings of the Talmud can be indoctrinated into the minds of children from the time they are able to read and write. These few news items were selected from hundreds like them which are appearing daily in newspapers clear across the nation: "Two new Jewish Centers, built at a cost of $300,000 will be opened to 1000 students for daily and Sunday school activities next month, it was announced by the Associated Talmud Torahs." (Chicago Herald-Tribune, 8/19/50.) "The Yeshiva School Department now provides daytime an approved English-Hebrew curriculum for grades 1 to 5 (aged 51/2 to 10). The afternoon Talmud Torah has opened a new

636

beginner's class and is accepting enrollment of advanced as well as beginner students." (Jewish Voice, 9/18/53.) "RABBI TO TALK ON TALMUD TO SHOLEM MEN. Dr. David Graubert presiding rabbi of Bet Din, and professor of rabbinical literature at the College of Jewish Studies, will present the first of his series of four lectures, ``The World of the Talmud'. (Chicago Tribune, 10/29/53.) "MARYLAND GRANTS DEGREE IN TALMUD. Baltimore, (JTA). New Israel Rabbinical College has been granted here authority by the Maryland State Board of Education to issue degrees of Master of Talmudic Law and Doctor of Talmudic Law." (Jewish Voice, 1/9/53.)

638

Benjamin H. Freedman Speech Delivered at the Willard Hotel in Washington in 1961 Here in the United States, the Zionists and their co-religionists have complete control of our government. For many reasons, too many and too complex to go into here at this time, the Zionists and their coreligionists rule these United States as though they were the absolute monarchs of this country. Now you may say that is a very broad statement, but let me show you what happened while we were all asleep. What happened? World War I broke out in the summer of 1914. There are few people here my age who remember that. Now that war was waged on one side by Great Britain, France, and Russia; and on the other side by Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey. Within two years Germany had won that war: not only won it nominally, but won it actually. The German submarines, which were a surprise to the world, had swept all the convoys from the Atlantic Ocean. Great Britain stood there without ammunition for her soldiers, with one week's food supply and after that starvation. At that time, the French army had mutinied. They had lost 600,000 of the flower of French youth in the defense of Verdun on the Somme. The Russian army was defecting, they were picking up their toys and going home, they didn't want to play war anymore, they didn't like the Czar. And the Italian army had collapsed. Not a shot had been fired on German soil. Not one enemy soldier had crossed the border into Germany. And yet, Germany was offering England peace terms. They offered England a negotiated peace on what the lawyers call a status quo ante basis. That means: "Let's call the war off, and let everything be as it was before the war started." England, in the summer of 1916 was considering that -- seriously. They had no choice. It was either accepting this negotiated peace that Germany was magnanimously offering them, or going on with the war and being totally defeated. While that was going on, the Zionists in Germany, who represented the Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet and -I am going to be brief because it's a long story, but I have all the documents to prove any statement that I make -- they said: "Look here. You can yet win this war. You don't have to give up. You don't have to accept the negotiated peace offered to you now by Germany. You can win this war if the United States will come in as your ally." The United States was not in the war at that time. We were fresh; we were young; we were rich; we were powerful. They told England: "We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side,

639

if you will promise us Palestine after you win the war." In other words, they made this deal: "We will get the United States into this war as your ally. The price you must pay is Palestine after you have won the war and defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey." Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the United States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason whatsoever. It's absolutely absurd that Great Britain, that never had any connection or any interest or any right in what is known as Palestine should offer it as coin of the realm to pay the Zionists for bringing the United States into the war. However, they did make that promise, in October of 1916. And shortly after that -- I don't know how many here remember it -- the United States, which was almost totally pro-German, entered the war as Britain's ally. I say that the United States was almost totally pro-German because the newspapers here were controlled by Jews, the bankers were Jews, all the media of mass communications in this country were controlled by Jews; and they, the Jews, were pro-German. They were pro-German because many of them had come from Germany, and also they wanted to see Germany lick the Czar. The Jews didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win this war. These German-Jew bankers, like Kuhn Loeb and the other big banking firms in the United States refused to finance France or England to the extent of one dollar. They stood aside and they said: "As long as France and England are tied up with Russia, not one cent!" But they poured money into Germany, they fought beside Germany against Russia, trying to lick the Czarist regime. Now those same Jews, when they saw the possibility of getting Palestine, went to England and they made this deal. At that time, everything changed, like a traffic light that changes from red to green. Where the newspapers had been all pro-German, where they'd been telling the people of the difficulties that Germany was having fighting Great Britain commercially and in other respects, all of a sudden the Germans were no good. They were villains. They were Huns. They were shooting Red Cross nurses. They were cutting off babies' hands. They were no good. Shortly after that, Mr. Wilson declared war on Germany. The Zionists in London had sent cables to the United States, to Justice Brandeis, saying "Go to work on President Wilson. We're getting from England what we want. Now you go to work on President Wilson and get the United States into the war." That's how the United States got into the war. We had no more interest in it; we had no more right to be in it than we have to be on the moon tonight instead of in this room. There was absolutely no reason for World War I to be our war. We were railroaded into -- if I can be vulgar, we were suckered into -- that war

640

merely so that the Zionists of the world could obtain Palestine. That is something that the people of the United States have never been told. They never knew why we went into World War I. After we got into the war, the Zionists went to Great Britain and they said: "Well, we performed our part of the agreement. Let's have something in writing that shows that you are going to keep your bargain and give us Palestine after you win the war." They didn't know whether the war would last another year or another ten years. So they started to work out a receipt. The receipt took the form of a letter, which was worded in very cryptic language so that the world at large wouldn't know what it was all about. And that was called the Balfour Declaration. The Balfour Declaration was merely Great Britain's promise to pay the Zionists what they had agreed upon as a consideration for getting the United States into the war. So this great Balfour Declaration, that you hear so much about, is just as phony as a three dollar bill. I don't think I could make it more emphatic than that. That is where all the trouble started. The United States got in the war. The United States crushed Germany. You know what happened. When the war ended, and the Germans went to Paris for the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 there were 117 Jews there, as a delegation representing the Jews, headed by Bernard Baruch. I was there: I ought to know. Now what happened? The Jews at that peace conference, when they were cutting up Germany and parceling out Europe to all these nations who claimed a right to a certain part of European territory, said, "How about Palestine for us?" And they produced, for the first time to the knowledge of the Germans, this Balfour Declaration. So the Germans, for the first time realized, "Oh, so that was the game! That's why the United States came into the war." The Germans for the first time realized that they were defeated, they suffered the terrific reparations that were slapped onto them, because the Zionists wanted Palestine and were determined to get it at any cost. That brings us to another very interesting point. When the Germans realized this, they naturally resented it. Up to that time, the Jews had never been better off in any country in the world than they had been in Germany. You had Mr. Rathenau there, who was maybe 100 times as important in industry and finance as is Bernard Baruch in this country. You had Mr. Balin, who owned the two big steamship lines, the North German Lloyd's and the Hamburg-American Lines. You had Mr. Bleichroder, who was the banker for the Hohenzollern family. You had the Warburgs in Hamburg, who were the big merchant bankers -- the

641

biggest in the world. The Jews were doing very well in Germany. No question about that. The Germans felt: "Well, that was quite a sellout." It was a sellout that might be compared to this hypothetical situation: Suppose the United States was at war with the Soviet Union. And we were winning. And we told the Soviet Union: "Well, let's quit. We offer you peace terms. Let's forget the whole thing." And all of a sudden Red China came into the war as an ally of the Soviet Union. And throwing them into the war brought about our defeat. A crushing defeat, with reparations the likes of which man's imagination cannot encompass. Imagine, then, after that defeat, if we found out that it was the Chinese in this country, our Chinese citizens, who all the time we had thought were loyal citizens working with us, were selling us out to the Soviet Union and that it was through them that Red China was brought into the war against us. How would we feel, then, in the United States against Chinese? I don't think that one of them would dare show his face on any street. There wouldn't be enough convenient lampposts to take care of them. Imagine how we would feel. Well, that's how the Germans felt towards these Jews. They'd been so nice to them: from 1905 on, when the first Communist revolution in Russia failed, and the Jews had to scramble out of Russia, they all went to Germany. And Germany gave them refuge. And they were treated very nicely. And here they had sold Germany down the river for no reason at all other than the fact that they wanted Palestine as a so-called "Jewish commonwealth." Now Nahum Sokolow, and all the great leaders and great names that you read about in connection with Zionism today, in 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, and 1923 wrote in all their papers -- and the press was filled with their statements -- that the feeling against the Jews in Germany is due to the fact that they realized that this great defeat was brought about by Jewish intercession in bringing the United States into the war. The Jews themselves admitted that. It wasn't that the Germans in 1919 discovered that a glass of Jewish blood tasted better than Coca-Cola or Muenschner Beer. There was no religious feeling. There was no sentiment against those people merely on account of their religious belief. It was all political. It was economic. It was anything but religious. Nobody cared in Germany whether a Jew went home and pulled down the shades and said "Shema 'Yisroel" or "Our Father." Nobody cared in Germany any more than they do in the United States. Now this feeling that developed later in Germany was due to one thing: the Germans held the Jews responsible for their crushing defeat. And World War I had been started against Germany for no reason for which Germany was responsible. They were guilty of nothing. Only of

642

being successful. They built up a big navy. They built up world trade. You must remember that Germany at the time of the French Revolution consisted of 300 small city-states, principalities, dukedoms, and so forth. Three hundred separate little political entities. And between that time, between the times of Napoleon and Bismarck, they were consolidated into one state. And within 50 years they became one of the world's great powers. Their navy was rivaling Great Britain's, they were doing business all over the world, they could undersell anybody, they could make better products. What happened as a result of that? There was a conspiracy between England, France, and Russia to slap down Germany. There isn't one historian in the world who can find a valid reason why those three countries decided to wipe Germany off the map politically. When Germany realized that the Jews were responsible for her defeat, they naturally resented it. But not a hair on the head of any Jew was harmed. Not a single hair. Professor Tansill, of Georgetown University, who had access to all the secret papers of the State Department, wrote in his book, and quoted from a State Department document written by Hugo Schoenfelt, a Jew whom Cordell Hull sent to Europe in 1933 to investigate the so-called camps of political prisoners, who wrote back that he found them in very fine condition. They were in excellent shape, with everybody treated well. And they were filled with Communists. Well, a lot of them were Jews, because the Jews happened to comprise about 98 per cent of the Communists in Europe at that time. And there were some priests there, and ministers, and labor leaders, and Masons, and others who had international affiliations. Some background is in order: In 1918-1919 the Communists took over Bavaria for a few days. Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht and a group of other Jews took over the government for three days. In fact, when the Kaiser ended the war he fled to Holland because he thought the Communists were going to take over Germany as they did Russia and that he was going to meet the same fate as the Czar. So he fled to Holland for safety, for security. After the Communist threat in Germany was quashed, the Jews were still working, trying to get back into their former status, and the Germans fought them in every way they could without hurting a single hair on anyone's head. They fought them the same way that, in this country, the Prohibitionists fought anyone who was interested in liquor. They didn't fight one another with pistols. Well, that's the way they were fighting the Jews in Germany. And at that time, mind you, there were 80 to 90 million Germans, and there were only 460,000 Jews. About one half of one per cent of the population of Germany were Jews. And yet they controlled all the press, and they

643

controlled most of the economy because they had come in with cheap money when the mark was devalued and bought up practically everything. The Jews tried to keep a lid on this fact. They didn't want the world to really understand that they had sold out Germany, and that the Germans resented that. The Germans took appropriate action against the Jews. They, shall I say, discriminated against them wherever they could. They shunned them. The same way that we would shun the Chinese, or the Negroes, or the Catholics, or anyone in this country who had sold us out to an enemy and brought about our defeat. After a while, the Jews of the world called a meeting in Amsterdam. Jews from every country in the world attended this meeting in July 1933. And they said to Germany: "You fire Hitler, and you put every Jew back into his former position, whether he was a Communist or no matter what he was. You can't treat us that way. And we, the Jews of the world, are serving an ultimatum upon you." You can imagine what the Germans told them. So what did the Jews do? In 1933, when Germany refused to surrender to the world conference of Jews in Amsterdam, the conference broke up, and Mr. Samuel Untermyer, who was the head of the American delegation and the president of the whole conference, came to the United States and went from the steamer to the studios of the Columbia Broadcasting System and made a radio broadcast throughout the United States in which he in effect said, "The Jews of the world now declare a Holy War against Germany. We are now engaged in a sacred conflict against the Germans. And we are going to starve them into surrender. We are going to use a world-wide boycott against them. That will destroy them because they are dependent upon their export business." And it is a fact that two thirds of Germany's food supply had to be imported, and it could only be imported with the proceeds of what they exported. So if Germany could not export, two thirds of Germany's population would have to starve. There was just not enough food for more than one third of the population. Now in this declaration, which I have here, and which was printed in the New York Times on August 7, 1933, Mr. Samuel Untermyer boldly stated that "this economic boycott is our means of self-defense. President Roosevelt has advocated its use in the National Recovery Administration," which some of you may remember, where everybody was to be boycotted unless he followed the rules laid down by the New Deal, and which was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of that time. Nevertheless, the Jews of the world declared a boycott against Germany, and it was so

644

effective that you couldn't find one thing in any store anywhere in the world with the words "Made in Germany" on it. In fact, an executive of the Woolworth Company told me that they had to dump millions of dollars worth of crockery and dishes into the river; that their stores were boycotted if anyone came in and found a dish marked "made in Germany," they were picketed with signs saying "Hitler," "murderer," and so forth, something like these sit-ins that are taking place in the South. At a store belonging to the R. H. Macy chain, which was controlled by a family called Strauss who also happen to be Jews, a woman found stockings there which came from Chemnitz, marked "Made in Germany." Well, they were cotton stockings and they may have been there 20 years, since I've been observing women's legs for many years and it's been a long time since I've seen any cotton stockings on them. I saw Macy's boycotted, with hundreds of people walking around with signs saying "murderers," "Hitlerites," and so forth. Now up to that time, not one hair on the head of any Jew had been hurt in Germany. There was no suffering, there was no starvation, there was no murder, there was nothing. Naturally, the Germans said, "Who are these people to declare a boycott against us and throw all our people out of work, and make our industries come to a standstill? Who are they to do that to us?" They naturally resented it. Certainly they painted swastikas on stores owned by Jews. Why should a German go in and give his money to a storekeeper who was part of a boycott that was going to starve Germany into surrendering to the Jews of the world, who were going to dictate who their premier or chancellor was to be? Well, it was ridiculous. The boycott continued for some time, but it wasn't until 1938, when a young Jew from Poland walked into the German embassy in Paris and shot a German official, that the Germans really started to get rough with the Jews in Germany. And you found them then breaking windows and having street fights and so forth. Now I don't like to use the word "anti-Semitism" because it's meaningless, but it means something to you still, so I'll have to use it. The only reason that there was any feeling in Germany against Jews was that they were responsible for World War I and for this world-wide boycott. Ultimately they were also responsible for World War II, because after this thing got out of hand, it was absolutely necessary for the Jews and Germany to lock horns in a war to see which one was going to survive. In the meanwhile, I had lived in Germany, and I knew that the Germans had decided that Europe is going to be Christian or Communist: there is no in between. And the Germans decided they were going to keep it Christian if possible. And they started to re-arm. In November 1933 the United States

645

recognized the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was becoming very powerful, and Germany realized that "Our turn was going to come soon, unless we are strong." The same as we in this country are saying today, "Our turn is going to come soon, unless we are strong." Our government is spending 83 or 84 billion dollars for defense. Defense against whom? Defense against 40,000 little Jews in Moscow that took over Russia, and then, in their devious ways, took over control of many other countries of the world. For this country now to be on the verge of a Third World War, from which we cannot emerge a victor, is something that staggers my imagination. I know that nuclear bombs are measured in terms of megatons. A megaton is a term used to describe one million tons of TNT. Our nuclear bombs had a capacity of 10 megatons, or 10 million tons of TNT, when they were first developed. Now, the nuclear bombs that are being developed have a capacity of 200 megatons, and God knows how many megatons the nuclear bombs of the Soviet Union have. What do we face now? If we trigger a world war that may develop into a nuclear war, humanity is finished. Why might such a war take place? It will take place as the curtain goes up on Act 3: Act 1 was World War I, Act 2 was World War II, Act 3 is going to be World War III. The Jews of the world, the Zionists and their co-religionists everywhere, are determined that they are going to again use the United States to help them permanently retain Palestine as their foothold for their world government. That is just as true as I am standing here. Not alone have I read it, but many here have also read it, and it is known all over the world. What are we going to do? The life you save may be your son's. Your boys may be on their way to that war tonight; and you don't know it any more than you knew that in 1916 in London the Zionists made a deal with the British War Cabinet to send your sons to war in Europe. Did you know it at that time? Not a person in the United States knew it. You weren't permitted to know it. Who knew it? President Wilson knew it. Colonel House knew it. Other insiders knew it. Did I know it? I had a pretty good idea of what was going on: I was liaison to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., in the 1912 campaign when President Wilson was elected, and there was talk around the office there. I was "confidential man" to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., who was chairman of the Finance Committee, and I was liaison between him and Rollo Wells, the treasurer. So I sat in these meetings with President Wilson at the head of the table, and all the others, and I heard them drum into President Wilson's brain the graduated income tax and what has become the Federal Reserve, and I heard them indoctrinate him with the Zionist

646

movement. Justice Brandeis and President Wilson were just as close as the two fingers on this hand. President Woodrow Wilson was just as incompetent when it came to determining what was going on as a newborn baby. That is how they got us into World War I, while we all slept. They sent our boys over there to be slaughtered. For what? So the Jews can have Palestine as their "commonwealth." They've fooled you so much that you don't know whether you're coming or going. Now any judge, when he charges a jury, says, "Gentlemen, any witness who you find has told a single lie, you can disregard all his testimony." I don't know what state you come from, but in New York state that is the way a judge addresses a jury. If that witness told one lie, disregard his testimony. What are the facts about the Jews? (I call them Jews to you, because they are known as "Jews". I don't call them Jews myself. I refer to them as "so-called Jews", because I know what they are). The eastern European Jews, who form 92 per cent of the world's population of those people who call themselves "Jews", were originally Khazars. They were a warlike tribe who lived deep in the heart of Asia. And they were so warlike that even the Asiatics drove them out of Asia into eastern Europe. They set up a large Khazar kingdom of 800,000 square miles. At the time, Russia did not exist, nor did many other European countries. The Khazar kingdom was the biggest country in all Europe -- so big and so powerful that when the other monarchs wanted to go to war, the Khazars would lend them 40,000 soldiers. That's how big and powerful they were. They were phallic worshippers, which is filthy and I do not want to go into the details of that now. But that was their religion, as it was also the religion of many other pagans and barbarians elsewhere in the world. The Khazar king became so disgusted with the degeneracy of his kingdom that he decided to adopt a so-called monotheistic faith -- either Christianity, Islam, or what is known today as Judaism, which is really Talmudism. By spinning a top, and calling out "eeny, meeny, miney, moe," he picked out so-called Judaism. And that became the state religion. He sent down to the Talmudic schools of Pumbedita and Sura and brought up thousands of rabbis, and opened up synagogues and schools, and his people became what we call "Jews". There wasn't one of them who had an ancestor who ever put a toe in the Holy Land. Not only in Old Testament history, but back to the beginning of time. Not one of them! And yet they come to the Christians and ask us to support their armed insurrections in Palestine by saying, "You want to help repatriate God's Chosen People to their Promised Land, their ancestral home, don't you? It's your Christian duty. We gave

647

you one of our boys as your Lord and Savior. You now go to church on Sunday, and you kneel and you worship a Jew, and we're Jews." But they are pagan Khazars who were converted just the same as the Irish were converted. It is as ridiculous to call them "people of the Holy Land," as it would be to call the 54 million Chinese Moslems "Arabs." Mohammed only died in 620 A.D., and since then 54 million Chinese have accepted Islam as their religious belief. Now imagine, in China, 2,000 miles away from Arabia, from Mecca and Mohammed's birthplace. Imagine if the 54 million Chinese decided to call themselves "Arabs." You would say they were lunatics. Anyone who believes that those 54 million Chinese are Arabs must be crazy. All they did was adopt as a religious faith a belief that had its origin in Mecca, in Arabia. The same as the Irish. When the Irish became Christians, nobody dumped them in the ocean and imported to the Holy Land a new crop of inhabitants. They hadn't become a different people. They were the same people, but they had accepted Christianity as a religious faith. These Khazars, these pagans, these Asiatics, these Turko-Finns, were a Mongoloid race who were forced out of Asia into eastern Europe. Because their king took the Talmudic faith, they had no choice in the matter. Just the same as in Spain: If the king was Catholic, everybody had to be a Catholic. If not, you had to get out of Spain. So the Khazars became what we call today "Jews". Now imagine how silly it was for the great Christian countries of the world to say, "We're going to use our power and prestige to repatriate God's Chosen People to their ancestral homeland, their Promised Land." Could there be a bigger lie than that? Because they control the newspapers, the magazines, the radio, the television, the book publishing business, and because they have the ministers in the pulpit and the politicians on the soapboxes talking the same language, it is not too surprising that you believe that lie. You'd believe black is white if you heard it often enough. You wouldn't call black black anymore -- you'd start to call black white. And nobody could blame you. That is one of the great lies of history. It is the foundation of all the misery that has befallen the world. Do you know what Jews do on the Day of Atonement, that you think is so sacred to them? I was one of them. This is not hearsay. I'm not here to be a rabble-rouser. I'm here to give you facts. When, on the Day of Atonement, you walk into a synagogue, you stand up for the very first prayer that you recite. It is the only prayer for which you stand. You repeat three times a short prayer called the Kol Nidre. In that prayer, you enter into an agreement with God Almighty that any oath, vow, or pledge that you may make during the next twelve months shall be null and void.

648

The oath shall not be an oath; the vow shall not be a vow; the pledge shall not be a pledge. They shall have no force or effect. And further, the Talmud teaches that whenever you take an oath, vow, or pledge, you are to remember the Kol Nidre prayer that you recited on the Day of Atonement, and you are exempted from fulfilling them. How much can you depend on their loyalty? You can depend upon their loyalty as much as the Germans depended upon it in 1916. We are going to suffer the same fate as Germany suffered, and for the same reason. [End of Speech]
[Editorial Commentary: There is substantial evidence from dozens of sources that back up the assertions in Freedmans speech. Yet, in Wikipedia he is labeled an anti-semite and an anti-Zionist. Heck, who wouldnt wish to be labeled an anti-Zionist? Being an anti-Zionist should be a badge of honor for anyone that stands against racism and bigotry and the apartheid policies of Israel. And as Freedman puts it anti-semitism is meaningless. What is also interesting to note is that Wikipedia does not tag Freedman as a Jew since he converted to Catholicism. This demonstrates how Zionists Jews manipulate culture, religion, and identity to suit the flavor of the day. Ones Jewish identity as their persona is secure if one is not out of favor with the Zionists. Should one stray from the Zionist fold by committing any number of offenses against the Zionist cause ones Jewish identity is stripped from them. This is racism in its purist form. There is a website called the S.H.I.T. list where so-called self-hating-Israeli-threatening Jews are put up for public mockery amongst the Jewish Diaspora. If this were a list of say gay journalists, the government would outlaw it and the Jewish owned media would be all over it. [http://www.masada2000.org/shit-list.html]]

But for reasons unknown, all of this rich history is lost even on the great Bolshevik aficionado Jim Cramer and his socialist comrades over at CNBC. Somehow they cannot imagine that it was their great communist hero Lenin who set up the first slave labor camps in Russia, and it was Lenin that brutally executed those that dared speak out against the Communist Party that he personally founded. Lenin was responsible for thousands of murders, and by the time of his death in 1924, the labor camp population had already swollen to over 6,000 slaves. Lenin created the Soviet Unions Communist party. This is undisputed fact. Period! The result of Communism has been murder, more murder and human suffering and misery in the worst way. It has failed in all its forms around the world. And yet, some today believe it is a novel political ideal worthy of reconsideration. The problem with all novel political ideals that have wealth-spreading or wealth redistribution as the basic tenet to the philosophy is that eventually the novelty wears

649

off and someone wants to do less than the next guy for the same pay and privileges and on the other side of the coin, someone will always desire more that his fair share, whether that be a Chinese Communist Party member with his hand in the western businessmans pockets, a Mexico City politician with his hands in Wal-Marts pockets, an ex-U.S. Secretary of Treasury with his hands in the taxpayers pockets, a U.S. President with his hands in everybodys pockets, or the ex-military man rapidly turning billionaire by pedaling weapons in some back ally Afghanistan bazaar, or a conscientious Vladimir Lenin that hands out pencil manufacturing concessions to the founders of U.S. oil companiessay like Mr. Armand Hammer. And that my friend brings us back to the circumlocution department where we started this chapter. Hammers $50,000 investment in Occidental Petroleum paid off handsomely and in 1957, he bought stock in the company and become its CEO and Chairman of the Board. By the 1960s, Occidentals revenues had grown to over half a billion dollars per year. Occidental increased this to nearly $2 billion per year after Hammer negotiated an oil concession with Libya and diversified the company into the manufacture of chemicals. When Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi came to power, Occidental saw a reduction in their oil output and thus a dramatic decrease in revenues. However, there is more to Armand Hammer than meets the eye. According to investigative researcher and writer Edward Jay Epstein, who wrote a fascinating book entitled Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer:
The public persona that Hammer polished, at great expense, was that of a renegade oilman who made billions from Libyan oil, chummed around with politicians up to White House level and adorned acres of galleries with paintings, some priceless, others fake. Hammer's lawyers bedeviled honest journalists who tried to write otherwise while he was alive, and they mostly succeeded. Steve Weinberg, author of an earlier critical biography, estimated to me that his British publisher spent $2 million defending a libel suit; it died when Hammer did, at age 92, in 1990.

The public persona is what was stated by Encyclopdia Britannica at the beginning of this chapter. Now lets open that up a bit with the assistance of an online summation of Mr. Epsteins research on Hammer that was written by Reed Irving (1922-1904) who was the founder of media watchdog group Accuracy in Media or AIM. The organization used to put out a newsletter called the AIM Report. An obituary article written about Mr. Irving appeared in the Washington Post on November 18th, 2004 entitled Media Watchdog Reed Irvine, 82, by Patricia Sullivan. Miss Sullivan wrote of Mr. Irvine:

650

Mr. Irvine, an economist, annoyed and infuriated major media for years with his syndicated critiques, prolific letters to the editor, and confrontational questions at corporate meetings that routinely accused the press and broadcasters of a liberal bias. In vilifying the media, he was at the forefront of a conservative movement that over the next several decades evolved into a wellfunded cottage industry. I think he was the first to really sound the trumpet of liberal bias," said Michael Hoyt, executive editor of Columbia Journalism Review, based at New York's Columbia University. Among his campaigns was an effort started 16 years ago to "Can Dan" Rather, the CBS News anchor. Mr. Irvine forced the Public Broadcasting System to run an hour-long rebuttal by his group to the 1983 documentary "Vietnam: A Television History." [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A588522004Nov17.html]

In Mr. Irvines book review of Jay Epsteins book on Armand Hammer, the now deceased former CEO and Chairman of the Board of Occidental Petroleum, we learn the following:
When the Bolsheviks seized Russia in 1919, Julius worked with Ludwig Martens, Lenin's de facto "ambassador" in the United States. Julius used Allied, of which Martens was the covert half-owner, to launder sales proceeds of smuggled diamonds --- money that financed a revolutionary Communist Labor Party (CLP) dedicated to "overthrowing the government, expropriating banks, and establishing a proletarian dictatorship." Julius held card No. 1. The CLP eventually became the Communist Party USA and part of the Communist International (Comintern). On another level, Julius used Allied Drug to ship equipment to the Soviet Union for which the U.S. government refused export licenses. Julius certified that the shipments were bound for Latvia; in fact, they continued on to Russia. The Soviets were so pleased with Julius' services that they offered Allied a trading concession that stood to earn him millions. Then, disaster. Julius ran a small clinic in which young Armand worked while attending medical school. In 1919, the wife of a czarist-era Russian diplomat went to the clinic for an abortion; she died the next day. Julius would not deny that an abortion had been performed, but he insisted that it had been medically justified. A judge disagreed and sent him off to three and one half to twelve years of hard labor. Years later, Armand Hammer confided to a mistress that the wrong Hammer went to jail, that in fact he had performed the fatal operation. Julius had reasoned that a licensed doctor might beat the charge but that a medical student stood no chance. With his father in jail, in 1921 Armand took over the import deals and left for Moscow on the first leg of an odyssey that would make him "one of the great con men of the twentieth century," in Mr. Epstein's words.

651

Hammer's cover story was that he helped feed starving Bolsheviks. This was a lie. The Soviets, from Lenin on down, saw him as the ultimate "useful tool" in breaking the Soviet Union out of economic isolation and in providing a conduit through which Moscow could finance espionage and subversion abroad. Mr. Epstein tells in gripping detail how the Soviets used the willing Hammer as a financial errand boy. Lenin's grand scheme was to "advance the image of a non-threatening and potentially profitable Soviet Russia." Lenin relied on capitalist greed to make U.S. German and British businesses vie for Russian concessions and to force their governments to lift trade restrictions. When one of Lenin's aides asked where he would obtain the rope with which to hang the capitalists, he replied famously, "They'll supply us with it." Lenin used Hammer as his opening pawn in this economic chess game, offering him an abandoned asbestos mine in return for a promise to bring in wheat. Everyone concerned realized the mine was worthless, but it gave the Soviets a means to transfer money to Comintern agents. Lenin issued orders to" make note of Armand Hammer and in every way help him on my behalf if he applies." There were admonitions to keep the relationship secret lest there be a "fatal effect" on Hammer. Expansion was swift. Hammer persuaded automaker Henry Ford to move into the Soviet Union to develop the "Fordson" tractor. There were fur deals, and a Hammer pencil factory was given a Soviet monopoly. The Soviets permitted Hammer sweetheart deals on sales abroad of precious czarist art. (When Hammer depleted his stock of Faberge eggs, no problem: He counterfeited them in New York.) The most important element was Allied Drug, which acted as the Soviets' de facto banker in the United States, laundering millions of Soviet dollars through sham transactions. Hammer eventually made millions in such enterprises as liquor, oil refining and art. The constant element, according to Mr. Epstein, was bribery and sharp dealing, including his capstone deal, the acquisition of Libyan oil rights for his Occidental Petroleum Co.

Hammer believed in dealing with the top when it came to government officials, and this philosophy paid off handsomely for Occidental, but with this kind of success comes a trade-off in acceptable U.S. business practices, or at least the practices that are currently being taught in the academic world. Jay Epstein has a transcript on his website of one of the many tape recordings that Hammer allegedly made during his tenure as CEO of Occidental Petroleum in which he is discussing the bribing of Venezuelan officials in order to obtain lucrative Maracaibo oil concessions during the 1970s:

652

Transcript:
Armand Hammer: You talked to the Minister, didn't you? John D. Askew: Yes sir. Armand Hammer: He's getting paid isn't he? John D. Askew: You betcha. Armand Hammer: Well, then why in the hell wont he deliver? This isn't such a big thing. John D. Askew: Yes it is to them. It's beyond their powers. It's strictly political. [A moment later] Armand Hammer: "... Well, you know what I would do? I hate discussing this but maybe you're not paying this Minister enough. John D. Askew: I don't think its under the decision. Armand Hammer: How much are we paying? John D. Askew: The total amount of money? Armand Hammer: Yeah. John D. Askew: We've paid 3 million dollars. The first voice is that of Armand Hammer, the industrialist, art collector and philanthropist, who died in 1990. At the time this conversation took place in November 1971, he was Chairman of Occidental Petroleum. He has invited the second man to his home in Los Angeles to discuss a highly sensitive subject-- the bribing of high officials in Venezuela. As he has done on other such occasions, he surreptitiously records what is said through a microphone concealed in his desk. The second man, who has a deep southern accent, is John D. Askew. He is Hammer's "conduit and agent." In other words, he is the bag man. Askew, a native of Arkansas who has been doing business in Venezuela since 1946, he had sought out Hammer some three years earlier with a proposition. Venezuela then was planning to invite foreign oil companies to bid on developing five large tracts near Lake Maracaibo that contained an estimated 3 billion barrels of oil. These concessions were to take the form of "service contracts" that guaranteed the foreign companies a substantial proportion of the recovered oil for seven years. Even though two international oil companies,

653

Esso and Shell, dominated oil production in Venezuela up until then--and planned to bid on these new tracts, Askew persuaded Hammer that he had the connections in Venezuela to win three of the five tracts for Occidental. It would cost $1 million a tract in cash that, as Hammer described it in the taped discussion, was "outside the money that is paid under the contract." In the summer of 1971, it was announced that Occidental's bids had prevailed, and Hammer had to make good on his cash commitments. He transferred the $3 million to Askew along a very convoluted route. It went from the World Wide Trading Corporation, Occidental's Liberian subsidiary, through a shell corporation, called Noark International. Most of it was then channeled into the bank accounts of two Panamanian shell corporations and then withdrawn by unknown individuals in cash.

By the mid 1980s, Hammer was growing old. He went through a series of CEOs that he found unsatisfactory and eventually settled on Palestinian Ray R. Irani in 1990. Hammer was now 91 years old. Irani had been with the company for twenty years at the time of his selection. He had served as both a director, COO and President, from 1984-1990. Irani holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and helped Occidental build out its lucrative chemical business. It is interesting this relationship between the Jew, Hammer and the Arab, Irani. Perhaps Irani is getting the last laugh of the intifada. Actually, it is most inappropriate of me to make light of this high dollar romance, as perhaps this could serve as a model to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflictperhaps it could be called adopt a billionaire from the other side of the fence. Since 2005, Irani has reportedly collected over $857 million dollars in compensation from Occidental. In 2006 alone, he was paid $469 million dollars. According an article that appeared in the Wall Street Journals blog, Deal Journal, on August 3, 2010, written by Michael Corkery entitled Is Occidentals Irani Worth His Big Pay Check?, it is noted that:
Calsters, the giant pension fund for California teachers, and Relational Investors LLC, think the CEO of Occidental Petroleum gets paid too much. The two funds sent a letter to Iranis employer, Occidental Petroleum, saying they are fed up with the CEOs lavish pay, which totaled $857 million over the past 10 years. The funds are so miffed by what they call Iranis lavish pay out that they are looking to unseat four of 13 board members. In the letter, the funds point out that Iranis target awards are now nearly twice those of the CEO at Exxon Mobil, the largest company in the world, and over three times that of Occidentals peer group average.

654

The article also notes that Occidental now has the largest volume of proven oil reserves amongst major energy companies: Occidentals also has amassed the highest percentage (73%) of proved reservesor the percentage of reserves that are almost certain to be able to yield oilamong the big U.S oil companies, according to Raymond James.

Now thats a valuable piece of information that investors might want to take note of. And on October 14th, 2010 it was noted on the Financial News Network [fnno.com]s online YouTube channel that Ray Irani would be stepping down in 2011 as CEO and Stephen Chazen would replace him. Irani will remain as Oxys Executive chairman until 2014. It was also noted that the company is now revamping its executive compensation plan.

Chapter 10
The TSA Propaganda Machine John Pistole by all accounts is an honorable man with impeccable credentials, and is held in high esteem by his peers. He also happens to the be the head of the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), and the point man for implementing the Obama Administrations unethical and constitutionally illegal pat-down and full-body scan policy. Pistole was forced awkwardly upon the scene as the The Yemen False Flag Operation got underway. When John Pistole stood for his Senate nomination hearing to become Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration and Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on June 10th, 2010, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson of Texas had several things to say to Mr. Pistole that sheds some light on the chaos he was walking into as head of an agency that had had no per se boss for past several years. I have highlighted several points that have some bearing on the publics perception of TSA. The first two bullets are from her opening remarks and the final two are her second and third points written down in her prepared statement:
And the other point that I would just make is that you, having served in the FBI, are serving in an agency that has, what, 102 years of history, but youre going in to be the top of an agency that has been in business for 9 years. And there have been a few stumbling blocks. We were here when we were writing the bill that created the TSA. And we looked carefully at all the different ways to organize it, and we gave it to Homeland Security, and we made it a separate agency there, and we wanted to make sure that we do all of the right things for this important position. And so, there have been kinks, but largely it has worked. And I hope that you will be the one that sets the standards for the future, for the way the agency operates. And it has to be efficient, and it has to also not encroach on the traveling public to too great a degree. And theres just a fine balance there. I want to say that, in my experience in the airports, for instance, the employees at TSA do a great job, and theyre friendly, and theyre nice, and they understand the frustrations of the passenger that has to be the one who is screened. And I certainly have had that experience myself, and its not fun. But, theyve been very, very nice and polite and understanding. Second, I strongly encourage TSA to work to develop better relationships with all of its stakeholders. The success of the agencyand the security of our nationis linked to cooperation and

659

trust between industry and government. Over the years, constituents and modal industry stakeholders alike have noted that TSA too often pays lip-service to partnerships and frequently tries to institute policies that have great economic impact without first seeking industry input. A safe and effective security system is mutually beneficial to industry and government alike; properly coordinating to create a seamless and secure environment will be a daily challenge. The traveling public wants and deserves a security experience that is effective, but without being overly cumbersome or economically unrealistic. Third, as is the case with several other government departments and agencies, TSA often seems to find itself playing catch-up, fighting the last terrorist battle, and getting caught in the trap of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on unproven equipment and programs. I believe that the head of TSA needs to be willing to make the tough decisions about programs and projects that do not work as desired, and focus on making TSA an agency that is ahead of the curve, rather than behind it. Mr. Pistole, if you are confirmed, I hope that you will bring your leadership experience and valuable intelligence and law enforcement expertise to an agency that could really benefit from the unique professional background you hold.

So here we find Pistole was taking on an organization that been restructured from the ground up with a tenuous mandate that required finesse, hard-work, and common sense. It would be no easy task, but by all outward appearances he was up for the task and appears to be doing a good job given unconstitutional policy that he is currently administering. I would rather hope that such a man of integrity and honor would publically step down from his post and denounce the policies that are fostering fascism within our federal government, especially a man of John Pistoles background and character. Something to consider According to his official biography listed on the TSA website as of April 20th, 2012:
Pistole came to TSA as a 26-year veteran of the FBI with extensive national security and counterterrorism experience. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, he was put in charge of the FBIs greatly expanded counterterrorism program, eventually becoming the FBIs Executive Assistant Director for Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence. In 2004, Pistole was named Deputy Director for the FBI. Pistole has led or been involved in several high profile investigations, including the attempted car bombing in Times Square on May 1, 2010; the December 25,

660

2009, attempted attack on Northwest Flight 253; the plot against New York City subways in 2009; the 2006 UK liquid explosives plot; and the May 2003 suicide bombings of three housing compounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in which 35 people died, including nine Americans. Pistole began his career as a Special Agent with the FBI in 1983, serving in the Minneapolis and New York divisions before his promotion to Supervisor in the Organized Crime Section at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. In 1999, as Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Boston, he helped lead investigation and recovery efforts for the Egypt Air Flight 990 crash off the coast of Rhode Island.

Hum, did you notice that? Read it again? OK Jack, I give up, pray tell? Amazingly, there is nothing listed on his biography about the singular event that thrust John Pistole into the public limelight and made him a household name, (or perhaps an occasional cussword), that being the Chicago-bound Jewish Synagogue targeted, ink-toner cartridge bomb plot. Imagine that? And I really wasnt looking for any additional circumstantial evidence today as I add this final chapter to this book. But there it is, glaring out like a missing piece of the puzzle. Of course the simple answer would be that his biography has not been updated since the event happened, but I find that a bit odd considering the world of minutiae in which guys like Pistole spend their lives. Anyways, just thought it was worth pointing out. And interestingly enough, after sufficient time had passed and a new set of rules was written for airport screeners that allows for 80% of all passengers to skate on through security, the name John Pistole seems to have faded back into the shadows from whence it came. But today, we are not letting him off the hook quite so easily. Let us first examine his outfit, the TSA, especially as related to the handling of the media, and obtaining goods and services under contract. For some reason, I envision that my government agents are competent individuals, capable of taking on task at hand, whether that be the day to day operations of people pushing, pencil pushing, or press pushing. Nothing could be further from the truth. The TSA buys the services of three different PR Firms to handle its media events at a cost of a whopping $3,000,000 dollars to each firm. And that was for 2006 through 2008. I imagine that figure has since been renegotiated upwards. I have located to of the contracts, HST-S03-04-COM005, which was awarded to David Johnson and DWJ Television out of Ridgewood, New Jersey, and HST-

S03-04-COM006 awarded to Charlie Brotman and Steve Winter, of Brotman-Winter-Fried out of Washington, D.C. Brotman-Winter-Fried was founded by Charlie Brotman, a wellknown sports broadcaster that has been in Washington for decades. From 1957 till 1971, he called the play by play action for the Washington Senators baseball team. He has also been the emcee for the past every Presidential Inauguration Parade since Dwight D. Eisenhowers reelection in 1956. According to an article written by Michael Neibauer of the Washington Business Journal, Vienna based Sage communications bought Brotman, Winter & Fried in November of 2011. Sage had been looking for a way to break into the GSA business and Brotman already had a foot in the door. Sage is adding Communications to the end of the name. Sage was founded by David Gorodetski and Larry Rosenfeld.

Charlie Brotman is the kind of guy that everybody likes, a real American icon. This is the kind of man I like seeing make good in this country and through hard work moving up in a business that he did for heart and not money. It is a shame that it has come to the point in America where the work his firm is now doing is aiding our government in the suppression of individual liberty and freedom. Im sure Charlie doesnt see it that way as he most likely sees duty to our government as a responsibility and a privilege. I hope that our government may one day revert back to a day when folks were proud to be a part of it. Why would the TSA need such services in a Democracy which is supposed to run by a limited government? I propose that this is just another clear indicator that our government is becoming increasingly arrogant and cavalier towards the people it is elected to serve and this is dangerous to our Republic. When an agency feels the need to pre-tape and rehearse media events and concoct said events to have the appearance of live events, something is amiss. This my friends is a clear indicator that we the people may not always be privy to the truth. Only someone in need of hiding or manipulating news needs this type of service. This is exactly how wartime propaganda was produced during World War II. And if one is to successfully ramp up operations in which U.S. citizens are to be harassed and interrogated at airports, one will definitely require a slew of court reporters to record the interrogationssay enough to cover 416 locations throughout the United States. Regina Wagner and Diversity Reporting Services located at 1102 16th St. NW, Washington D.C. 20036 was the lucky gal that landed a big contract with TSA on September 9, 2005 under Contract # HSTS03-05-D-CSL128 *note, the L may be a D or an O as it is hard to read. This contract has offending

662

redactions. Thats right folks, were paying for it but we are not allowed to know what it is we are getting for our hard earned tax dollars. Yes, the TSA had been planning their airport screening operation for some time. The contracts for the court reporting services and the media services follow on the next few pages. I have only included pertinent pages that basically explain the services and ID the contractor. Since Brotman and DWJ Televisions contracts read the same, I only included the first page of Brotmans.

TSA, Dennis Hightower, Accenture plc & The Sellout of American Businesses Dennis Hightower, business executive and former Harvard lecturer who holds a B.A. from Howard University, an MBA from Harvard and an honorary Ph.D. from Howard, sits on the board of Irish firm Accenture plc. From August 2009 till August 2010 Hightower served as the United States Deputy Secretary of Commerce. Hightower has been a board member with Accenture plc since 2003 and served up until his Commerce Department appointment. After leaving commerce, he rejoined the board. The Mission Statement of the Department of Commerce is as follows: 1. The U.S. Department of Commerce promotes job creation, economic growth, sustainable development and improved standards of living for all Americans by working in partnership with businesses, universities, communities and our nations workers. 2. To drive U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace, the Commerce Department works to strengthen the international economic position of the United States and facilitates global trade by opening up new markets for U.S. goods and services. Here at home, the Commerce Department promotes progressive business policies that help Americas businesses and entrepreneurs and their communities grow and succeed. Cuttingedge science and technology at the department fosters innovation, and a focus on research and development that moves quickly from the lab to the marketplace generates progress and new 21st century opportunities. No matter where businesses are in their life cycle, whether just getting off the ground or looking to expand into overseas markets, the Commerce Department is singularly focused on making U.S. companies more innovative at home and more competitive abroad, so they can create jobs. 3. The Commerce Department also provides effective management and monitoring of our nations resources and assets to support both environmental and economic health. Accenture plc, has pocketed well over a BILLION dollars of U.S. Taxpayer money since 9-11. On April 3rd, 2012 it was announced that Accenture plc was awarded another huge contract with TSA to to help modernize the agencys threat assessment and credentialing

687

infrastructure. According to an article written by Jacob Goodwin of American Security News: Accenture Federal Services, of Reston, VA, has landed an important contract from TSA to help modernize the agencys threat assessment and credentialing infrastructure, a sweeping effort which could yield Accenture as much as a quarter-billion dollars.
[http://www.gsnmagazine.com/node/26028?c=access_control_identification]

Between 2001 and 2002, Accenture plc was awarded $662 million dollars in contracts from the newly established Homeland Security Department, and most of these contracts were for the TSA. So not only are Americans forced to follow the TSAs un-Constitutional Pat Down policy, but they also have to foot the bill for the privilege. TSA security screeners are being paid a pittance compared to the profit built into the lucrative contracts that Accenture plc has been awarded by the U.S. Government. It was noted in a FedBidOps.gov publication on July 23, 2010 Accenture plc was being given preferential treatment in the renewal of a contract to continue providing services for the TSAs PASS program (Performance, Accountability, and Standards System) as contract # HSTS01-10-R-HRM145 to be a continuance of contract # HSTS01-09-RHRM023. This extended contract provides Accenture plc with another $22.19 million dollars worth of U.S. taxpayer gravy for the years 2011 and 2012. This contract was extended without the TSA having to rebid the contract. Twelve American firms were in bid pool and listed as Interested Vendors for this contract: Cranford and Associates of Midwest Illinois, Inc. from Aurora, Illinois which is both a minority owned business, and a veteran owned business Mobile Audit, Inc. of Ashburn, Virginia which is a Women-owned small business Advanced Government Solutions, Inc. of Bowie, Maryland which is a Woman-owned business Anton J Mitchell of Aberdeen, Maryland which is a Womanowned business One Source Consulting out of Lauderdale, Florida LD Ness, Inc. out of Herndon, Virginia which is a Women-owned small business Integron Inc. out of Rochester, New York with is a small womenowned disadvantaged small business

Now heres the real kickerAccenture plc is an Irish corporation that is publically traded on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker symbol ACN. Since 9-11 and the implementation of the Patriot Act which has led to increased public surveillance, Accentures stock price has soared from $12.75 per share to an all time high of $65.89 per share on March 26th, 2012. The following are the financial highlights from Accentures 2011 annual report: Posted our highest-ever annual revenues, of $25.5 billion, an increase of 15 percent in local currency. Grew EPS 28 percent, to $3.40. Delivered record annual bookings of nearly $29 billion, demonstrating continued strong demand for our services. Achieved an operating margin of 13.6 percentwithin our expected range. Maintained a strong balance sheet, generating free cash flow of $3.0 billion. Is this a sign of the new normal that Ben Bernanke of the U.S. Federal Reserve speaks about, where U.S. citizens remain underemployed and U.S. based businesses are passed over for foreign based multi-national corporations? Sure Accenture hires U.S. workers, but there is a difference between being a lowly paid wage worker and a business owner that is awarded multi-million dollars contracts. Wake up America! And to think we are being sold out by our ex-Commerce Department employees who have learned the trick of the revolving door where board seats are traded for American jobs. So what do you think? Is the U.S. Commerce Department living up to its Mission statement?

689

Prior to reading Accentures Sell-out the American Taxpayer Contract one may wish to go grab a bottle of Jim Beam in order to prepare for the insulting redactions that blanket much or the document. This is America by God and hiding from the American people what their dollars are paying for is disgraceful and insulting. Let this book and this chapter in particular serve as notice to the United States Congressmen and the United States Senators that are allowing these tax payer abuses to continue; you had better stop these practices if you want to stay in office. The people have had enough. I am curious to know just how a multi-national corporation lives up to the spirit of hiring small businesses and minority and women owned businesses. Accenture plc has signed documents to this effect? Accenture is the contractor, so just what subcontractors are used under this contract? Why is all of this information redacted? And thats not all Folks! These guys are being paid BONUSES! Yes, Bonuses! For what you rightly ask? For doing their job says I. What says Ye? You mean to tell us Jack that these ying yangs get bonuses for doing the job they were contracted to do? Yep boys, I do. So as they say in Texas holdem, readem and weep!

Transportation Security Administration
OFFICE OF HUMAN CAPITAL PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY AND STANDARDS SYSTEM (PASS)

Justification and Approval

TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) , Office of Human Capital, Office of Performance Management and Improvement, (PM I) and Office of Acquisition propose to enter into a contract on the basis of other than full and open competition. The procurement request number is 211 0200HRM145, and the Office of Acquisition's J&A tracking number is 1-2010-143. The purpose of this document is to provide justification for contracting without providing for full and open competition. Specifically, the justification for awarding a modification to Accenture under contract number HSTS01-09-C-HRM023, to extend the total contract period of performance beyond the current expiration date of October 22,2010. The extension period will consist of twenty-nine (29) months (12-month base plus one 12-month option period and a second 5-month option period). Approval of a sole source justification is required to ensure that the TSA Office of Human Capital (OHC), Performance Accountability and Standards System (PASS) FY11 performance period is not delayed as TSA completes the newly updated acquisition process and transitional activities associated with the acquisition process for a follow-on vendor (or vendors) to support its performance management program services. The FY11 PASS System was originally scheduled for recompete in January 2010, with award in April 2010. This timeline was established to allow enough time for a new vendor to be selected and on-board, and a new system to be developed, tested, and deployed, in time for the FY11 performance period (October 1, 2010). However, a final review of the original FY11 PASS System Request for Proposal in January 2010 by the Office of Acquisitions (OA), Infrastructure Division, highlighted a number of application development requirements potentially more appropriately accomplished using the previously competed Operational Applications Support and Information Services (OASIS) Task Order against the Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions (EAGLE) contract. The OASIS Task Order is in place to support the full range of application development and infrastructure services, and move TSA applications toward a more service-oriented architecture. OHC leadership agreed to this approach. It aligns the PASS System with TSA's over-arching "One DHS" goal of having an integrated suite of services and systems, and mitigates a number of the postprocurement development and deployment issues that typically delay and add expense to building a new stand-alone system. This includes Certification and Accreditation, obtaining a DHS-approved Data Management Plan, system migration to the DHS server, and data warehouse planning and implementation. OHC has partnered with the Office of Information Technology to conduct an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) to provide the government a final recommendation as to whether services for a new PASS system are better accommodated through the OASIS Task Order, Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software development obtained through a new competitive award, or another approach entirely. A final develo ment, testin ,and deplo ment SChedule will be dependent on the completion of the AoA

ID Requirements for Airport Checkpoints Adult passengers (18 and over) are required to show a U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID in order to be allowed to go through the checkpoint and onto their flight. We understand passengers occasionally arrive at the airport without an ID, due to lost items or inadvertently leaving them at home. Not having an ID, does not necessarily mean a passenger wont be allowed to fly. If passengers are willing to provide additional information, we have other means of substantiating someones identity, like using publicly available databases. Passengers who are cleared through this process may be subject to additional screening. Passengers whose identity cannot be verified by TSA may not be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint or onto an airplane. Acceptable IDs include: U.S. passport U.S. passport card DHS "Trusted Traveler" cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST) U.S. Military ID (active duty or retired military and their dependents, and DOD civilians) Permanent Resident Card Border Crossing Card DHS-designated enhanced driver's license Drivers Licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent) A Native American Tribal Photo ID An airline or airport-issued ID (if issued under a TSA-approved security plan) A foreign government-issued passport Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) card Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Non-US/Canadian citizens are not required to carry their passports if they have documents issued by the U.S. government such as Permanent Resident Cards. Those who do not should be carrying their passports while visiting the U.S.

TSA ENFORCEMENT SANCTION GUIDANCE POLICY INTRODUCTION: On November 19, 2001, Congress enacted the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), which created TSA, and which transferred authority for enforcement of civil aviation security requirements from the Federal Aviation Administration to TSA. On July 21, 2009, TSAs Investigative and Enforcement Procedures, including the maximum civil monetary penalty amounts for violations of TSAs security regulations, were amended to conform to the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. The current civil penalty monetary amounts became effective on August 20, 2009. PURPOSE: This sanctions policy provides guidance for imposing civil monetary penalties up to $27,500 per violation for aircraft operators, up to $10,000 per violation for surface transportation modes, and up to $11,000 per violation for all other persons, including but not limited to individuals, airport operators, indirect air carriers, and small business concerns. This sanction guidance provides agency enforcement personnel with guidance in selecting appropriate sanctions for civil penalty enforcement actions and to promote consistency in enforcement of TSA regulations; it does not restrict TSA from proposing higher penalties or penalties for violations not listed in the Sanction Guidance Table. The purpose of this guidance is to assist, not replace, the exercise of judgment in determining the appropriate civil penalty in a particular case. GENERAL GUIDELINES: The Sanction Guidance Table (Table) below represents the normal sanction range for a single violation of a particular regulation. Pursuant to a philosophy of progressive enforcement, the sanction generally increases with each repeated violation or based upon other aggravating factors. In selecting an appropriate sanction, TSA considers the totality of circumstances, including any aggravating and mitigating factors. A sanction amount at the higher end of a range is appropriate where there are aggravating factors surrounding the violation, while a sanction amount at the lower end of the range is appropriate for first time violations and where mitigating factors exist. Based on extreme aggravating or mitigating factors, TSA may seek a sanction amount that falls outside the Tables sanction ranges. AGGRAVATING and MITIGATING FACTORS: As a general matter, TSA considers the following aggravating and mitigating factors:

737

1) Significance or degree of the security risk created by the violation; 2) Nature of the violation (whether the violation was inadvertent, deliberate, or the result of gross negligence); 3) Past violation history (compliance should be the norm, this factor is considered only to assess the need for an increased sanction); 4) Violator's level of experience; 5) Attitude of violator, including the nature of any corrective action taken by the alleged violator; 6) Economic impact of the civil penalty on the violator; 7) Criminal sanctions already paid for the same incident; 8) Disciplinary action by the violators employer for the same incident; 9) Artful concealment; and 10) Fraud and intentional falsification. INDIVIDUALS: Section VI below addresses sanction amounts for individual violations. Penalty considerations for violations by individuals, who are not regulated entities or employed by a regulated entity, differ from the considerations for regulated entities such as an aircraft operator, airport, or indirect air carrier. Deterrence against an individual generally does not require a penalty range as high as that against a regulated entity. As a result, the Table contains ranges that list dollar amounts for violations by individuals. Egregious or intentional violations may support a civil penalty outside of the listed range. Reduced civil penalties allowed under the Notice of Violation (NOV) program are a program incentive and are not based on the typical mitigating factors. SMALL BUSINESS ENTITIES: The maximum civil penalty that may be assessed against a violator that qualifies as a small business entity is $11,000. TSA may consider the fact that the entity qualifies as a small business in determining the appropriate amount of the civil penalty. This information may not be readily available prior to the issuance of a proposed civil penalty and may be considered at any time after the initiation of enforcement action. Generally, it is the responsibility of the alleged violator to provide reliable evidence of its inability to pay a proposed civil penalty or of the impact the civil penalty it will have on its ability to continue in business. MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS: Where multiple violations arise from the same incident, inspection, or investigation, a sanction amount generally should be calculated for each violation of the regulations. Similarly, a separate sanction amount generally should be assessed for each violation

738

where there are continuing violations or related violations addressed in the same case. CRIMINAL REFERRAL: Referral for criminal investigation and enforcement is appropriate where there appears to be a violation of criminal laws. Criminal penalties and fines are different and wholly separate from the civil penalties assessed by TSA. Withdrawal of criminal charges will not affect civil penalty charges, and vice versa. TABLE RANGES: The Table describes civil monetary penalties as minimum, moderate, or maximum for a single violation of a particular regulation. These terms are defined as follows:
(1) Violations Committed by Aircraft Operators Maximum $18,000-$27,500 Moderate $9,000-$17,999 Minimum $2,500-$8,999 (2) Violations Committed by Airport Operators Maximum $7,500-$11,000 Moderate $3,700-$7,499 Minimum $1,000-$3,699 (3) Violations Committed by Indirect Air Carriers Maximum $7,500-$11,000 Moderate $3,700-$7,499 Minimum $1,000-$3,699 (4) Violations Committed by Rail Carriers, Shippers, and Receivers; and Violations Committed by Passenger Rail and Public Transportation Agencies Maximum $6,000-$10,000 Moderate $3,000-$5,999 Minimum $1,000-$2,999

With the ROYG and international community refocused on the long-running battle against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the civil war against the Houthi rebels in northern Saada governorate continues to rage, despite rumors that Houthi commander Abdulmalik al-Houthi is dead. Local sources report that airstrikes increased in late December, and relief organizations describe an increasingly dire humanitarian situation with an influx of thousands of new IDPs and a general population hard-hit by nearly five months of continual war. With the ROYG determined to end the conflict militarily and the Houthis able to operate successfully at the local level, Yemen will welcome the new year still embroiled in this five-year-old conflict. END

SUMMARY. 2. (S/NF) For the second time since the August 2009 start of the Sixth War in Saada, rumors have swirled regarding the welfare and whereabouts of top Houthi leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi (Ref A). Official media began reporting on December 20 that Houthi died from wounds sustained in mid-December airstrikes in the Matara district of Saada and was immediately buried. Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi, however, told the CDA on December 28 that he could not authenticate rumors of Abdulmalik al-Houthis death, but Qirbi noted that it was odd that Houthi had not made any public statements in weeks, even during the Shiite holy day of Ashoura on December 27. ICRC Head of Delegation Jean-Nicolas Marti told the CDA on December 28 that the Saudi Ambassador to Yemen had told him that the Saudis were sure that Houthi was dead because of radio intercepts from the rebels. (Note: Sensitive reporting indicates that Saudi officials believe Houthi died on December 23 of wounds sustained from December 16 airstrikes in Yemeni territory. End Note.) Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdusalam, however, issued a statement on December 28 denying reports of Houthis death. 3. (S/NF) The ROYG has continued heavy battles against the Houthi rebels, with local sources reporting an increase in the intensity of airstrikes in late December. Continuing the ROYGs firm stance on defeating the Houthis militarily before considering a political settlement, Qirbi told the CDA, We are not going to end the Sixth War only to prepare for the seventh. The ICRCs Marti said his local staff in Saada City estimate that government forces now control about 75 percent of the city, whereas the Houthis controlled most of the city as recently as November. 4. Civilian casualties and a mushrooming IDP population continue to make news on the humanitarian front. Local media reported that a December 20 airstrike in Saadas northern Razah district killed 54 people, including women and children, a week after a strike on a market town in the area reportedly killed up to 73 people (Ref C). Saada Governor Hassan Manaa told official media on December 28 that the Houthis had killed 500 civilians since August. UN Resident Coordinator Pratibha Mehta said that the UNs camps had received an influx of new refugees since December 21. The ICRCs Marti said that its camps in Saada City, al-Buqa and al-Madaba all saw increases in late December as well; ICRCs Sub-Delegation Head in Saada Irfan Sulejmani said that a

746

few thousand new families had shown up at the camps in the last few days. Of the perhaps 200,000 IDPs from the Saada conflict, relief groups estimate that they can provide services to less than half. The ROYG also established a new committee to oversee the IDP camps, headed by former Aden Governor Mohammed Ahmed Kohlani, according to Qirbi, and continues to hold regular meetings with donor countries regarding aid to Saada. COMMENT ------5. Although Houthis death, if confirmed, would prove a symbolic victory for the ROYG and perhaps a blow to Houthi morale, it is doubtful that his death alone would end the years-long conflict. Abdulmalik is only the latest in a string of Houthi brothers who have led the rebel movement since 2004. Press reports have stated that Abdulmaliks brother-in-law, Yousef al-Madani, may have already taken over leadership of the organization. Relief organizations such as ICRC report that in their dealings with the Houthis, they assess that local leaders have a great degree of autonomy because of the difficulty in communicating among Houthi leaders. The ROYG, however, still appears determined to end the conflict militarily. END COMMENT. BRYAN

SANAA 01995 b. SANAA 02079 c. SANAA 01669 Classified By: Ambassador Stephen Seche for reasons 1.4(b) and (d). 1. (S/NF) SUMMARY. As the sixth war against the Houthis continues to squeeze Yemen's conventional military, the ROYG has looked to its U.S. and U.K.-funded and trained counterterrorism forces to provide some relief to battered army forces. The Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) trained to detect small terrorist cells and investigate and prevent terror attacks on civilian targets - is a poor tactical choice for use against a longterm domestic insurgency. The ROYG, desperate to defeat the Houthis at any cost, has largely ignored USG concerns regarding deployment of the CTU to Sa'ada. The CTU has been unable to go after genuine terrorist

748

targets like al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula(AQAP) while it has been tied down in Sa'ada. CTU involvement in a ROYG operation against AQAP on the morning of December 17 is a welcome return to its core mission, although it remains to be seen if this was any more than a one-off occurrence. END SUMMARY. Signs of royg desperation in sa'ada ----------------------------------2. (C) As the sixth war in Sa'ada, now in its fifth month, drags on in a titfor-tat struggle between ROYG military forces and Houthi rebels, the ROYG has attempted to use its elite CT forces to provide needed extra muscle.xxxxx, told PolOff in late November that he felt his forces were being pulled into the Sa'ada conflict because of the perception that the CTU is made up of "super-men that can solve any problem and defeat anybody." (Note: CTU forces were initially sent to Sa'ada in July to investigate the kidnapping of a group of Western aid workers. Post assesses that the CTU was drawn into the Houthi conflict in earlySeptember. End Note.) Such a misperception of the CTU's capabilities and mission was hurting the unit, xxxxx added. During the U.S.-Yemen Joint Staff Talks hosted in Sana'a November 8-11, xxxxx publicly impressed upon Brigadier General Ali Dahan of the Yemen Special Operations Forces (YSOF), another elite military unit also involved in CT operations, and other senior Ministry of Defense (MOD) leadership the severity of the situation in Sa'ada and the toll it was taking on the CTU. He told Dahan, "You may not be feeling the hurt of this war, but the CTU is fighting in Sa'ada and is taking casualties." (COMMENT: xxxxx was angry with Dahan for stating that the YSOF was "ready and available for more training exercises with U.S. forces" while the CTU was being deployed in Sa'ada. He believes the YSOF should be doing more in Sa'ada, which would allow the CTU to return to its primary mission. END COMMENT.) 3. (S/NF) Increasingly desperate to defeat the Houthis, the ROYG continues to insist that fighting the Houthis is a legitimate component of CT operations, thus justifying the use of CTU forces in Sa'ada. The National Security Bureau's Colonel Akram al-Qassmi told PolOffs on December 9, "The war against the Houthis is not a distraction from the CT fight. It is the CT fight." xxxxx Despite the injection of CTU forces into the fight three months ago, the Sa'ada war drags on and, according to CTU leadership, the CTU is taking"heavy casualties" due to their lack of training for this type of warfare. At the urging of CTU leadership,

749

theSupreme Security Council agreed to move all CTU forces (two platoons) out of Sa'ada on December 9. xxxxx confirmed that the MOI Regional Commander ordered elements of the CTU, believed to be one platoon, to remain in Sa'ada until Sa'ada City is cleared of Houthi fighters. Ct operations constrained due to sa'ada war ------------------------------------------4. (S/NF) Following the return of one platoon to Sana'a, the CTU undertook its first CT operation against AQAP in four months on the morning of December 17. However, according to xxxxx deployment to Sa'ada has hurt the CTU's readiness capabilities. Ideally, the unit is primed for rapid response to any CT threat in and around Sana'a within 10 minutes. The Sanaa 00002230 002 of 002 CTU is broken into four platoons which rotate every two weeks: one on leave, a second in training, a third on standby, and a fourth as a Quick Reaction Force (QRF). With one platoon in Sa'ada, and another on active duty in Sana'a, the CTU has no surge capacity. xxxxx said that the CTU's training and operational cycle has been disrupted by the Sa'ada war. "Since August, the QRF has been in Sa'ada, taking heavy casualties because they have been engaged in heavy fighting. We have only had a chance to send a relief team twice since the latest conflict started." He said that the use of USG-provided armored vehicles and humvees has "been fundamental in preventing casualties." (NOTE: Post has repeatedly questioned ROYG use of U.S. military equipment and U.S.-trained forces intended to combat AQAP in the war against the Houthi rebels. END NOTE.) 5. (S/NF) The CTU was established just six years ago at the urging of the USG and has received substantial funding and training from U.S. special operations forces and British conventional army trainers. Their training has focused on detecting and neutralizing the AQAP threat, not fighting a long-term, domestic insurgency. In particular, the CTU is predominantly trained for CT "direct action missions" in which they isolate an AQAP cell and capture its members based on specific intelligence. Referring to the guerilla warfare tactics the Houthis have been using against traditional ROYG military forces, xxxxx U.S. training in "unconventional warfare" and tactics used by the U.S. forces in "asymmetric warfare" of the type encountered in the mountains of Afghanistan, suggesting the CTU expects to continue to use its forces in Sa'ada.

750

Comment ------6. (S/NF) Bogged down in a seemingly unwinnable war that pits conventional forces against determined rebels, the ROYG has resorted to using its specialized CT units. Untrained to fight this type of conflict, the overstretched CTU has reportedly sustained significant casualties, missed training opportunities and been derailed from its principal mission: to combat AQAP. While U.S. concerns over diversion of troops and equipment have been acknowledged, they have clearly not resulted in a significant change of ROYG focus from the Houthis to AQAP. CTU deployment to Sa'ada, while a distraction, is not a crushing blow to all potential CT activities, as demonstrated by the December 17 CT operation. However, it remains to be seen if this indicates a balancing of priorities between the Houthi conflict and AQAP, or if it is simply a momentary return to the CTU's primary mission. End comment.

Cable dated:2005-09-17T12:29:00S E C R E T SECTION 01 OF 05 SANAA 002766SIPDIS NOFORNE.O. 12958: DECL: 08/20/2015 TAGS: KDEM KMCA KMPI PGOV PINR PREL PTER YM DOMESTIC POLITICS 1. (C) Summary. After 27 years in power, President Salehs recent announcement that he would not seek another term in 2006 has provoked increased speculation about potential successors. There is widespread skepticism about Salehs intentions not to run, especially as there are few if any viable candidates. Saleh has given little indication of how he would transfer power, begging the question as to how and when such a transition might take place. The general publics growing acceptance of democratic institutions would likely require, barring a national emergency, Salehs successor to take office by popular vote. At the highest levels, however, true power still derives from the military and the tribes, and the next President would have to meet with their approval. In the case of Salehs death or retirement prior to 2013, his successor would almost certainly be a military officer and likely a member of the Presidents Sanhan tribe. Salehs son, Ahmed Ali, is the most obvious choice, but there are considerable doubts as to his fitness for the job. Saleh has provided Yemen with relative stability relying on his maneuvering skills and strategic alliances, but has done little to strengthen government institutions or modernize the country. As a result, any succession scenario is fraught with uncertainty. Although the Yemeni public complains freely about corruption and lack of the democratic institutions necessary to establish rule of law, Yemenis generally agree that for the time being no one but Saleh can maintain the nations unity and stability. End summary.

It's hard to tell devils apart...

753

---------------------------Saleh: The Only Game in Town ---------------------------2. (C) On July 16, President Saleh made the dramatic announcement that he would bow out of the 2006 Presidential Election. (ref A) Few observers believe he is sincere, but Salehs declaration placed urgency on the question of who could succeed him as President. (Comment: Given the general belief that a viable successor will not appear before next years September election, Saleh may well have made his announcement simply to drive home the point. End Comment). 3. (C) There is no clear chain of command should the President step down, die, or become incapacitated while in office. The Vice President is only a figurehead. Other prominent leaders are generally considered to be unacceptable to one or another major tribal or regional constituency within the Republic. It seems likely that Saleh would prefer his son, Ahmed Ali, succeed him, although the heir apparent does not currently command the same respect as his father and is younger than 40, the Constitutionally mandated minimum age for assuming the Presidency. When asked for names of potential successors, Yemenis are unable to come up with a single potential candidate. Despite yearnings for a genuine democratic process, most believe that the next President will come from within Salehs inner circle of family and military allies. 4. (C) Beginning with unification in 1990, Yemen embarked on a program of limited democratic and economic reform. Nevertheless, fifteen years after unification, Saleh retains a firm grip on Yemens executive apparatus, using the military and government finance to exert control and distribute patronage. Saleh also dominates the judiciary through his chairing of the High Judicial Council, which has sole power to appoint and remove judges. Yemens Parliament is weak and the ruling GPC party has a wide majority of seats. Even opposition parties generally seek to influence the President rather than replace him.

754

---------------------A Deal With Two Devils ---------------------5. (S/NF) Despite his authoritarian tendencies, Saleh is unable to govern the country single-handedly due to tribal and regional fractures. He relies heavily on a power sharing arrangement with the countrys leading tribal and military figures, Sheikh Abdullah al-Ahmar who heads the Hashid Tribal Confederation, and Brigadier General Ali Mohsen alAhmar, Commander of the Northeastern Military District and reputedly the most powerful military man in the land. This triumvirate was formed by written agreement in 1978, following the assassination of President alGhushaimi. Both Mohsen and Sheikh al-Ahmar wield great influence over Presidential decision-making, but neither challenges Salehs presidential power directly. 6. (S/NF) Sheikh al-Ahmar is the 70 year-old Speaker of Parliament and head of Yemens largest opposition party, Islah. As head of the Hashid Confederation, Sheikh al-Ahmar heads a veritable government within the government, and is able to broker deals between the ROYG and the tribal sheikhs within his realm. Salehs own Sanhan tribe belongs to Hashid, making al-Ahmar the Presidents tribal leader. The Hashid tribes are located largely in areas of the country considered the most unstable, including Saada (base of the al-Houthi rebellion), Maarib, al-Jawf, and Amran. Al-Ahmar is considered a founding father of the modern Yemeni Republic, and uses his position as Speaker of Parliament to advance his business interests and to grandstand on foreign policy. Despite his age, al-Ahmar shows no sign of retreating from public life and his sons hold positions of prominence in Parliament, business, and tribal affairs. Moderates and serious reformers within Islah blame al-Ahmar for their partys inability to affect change in Yemen, and many consider their leader more a part of the regime rather than an oppositionist. 7. (C) Ali Mohsen is between 50 and 60 years old, and is generally perceived to be the second most powerful man in Yemen. Most reports indicate Mohsen is the cousin of Salehs two half brothers, although there is much confusion on this matter, with some claims that he is himself a half-brother to Saleh. Ali Mohsens name is mentioned in hushed tones among most Yemenis, and he rarely appears in public. Those that know him say he is charming and gregarious. As Commander of the Northeast Region and the First Armored Division, Ali Mohsen acts as Salehs iron

755

fist. (Note: When Saleh took power, with the help of Ali Mohsen, he held the position of Commander of the First Armored Division. End note). The area that Ali Mohsen controls includes the governorates of Saada, Hodeidah, Hajja, Amran, and Mahwit, and he is more powerful than any governor. Mohsen was instrumental in the Norths victory in the 1994 civil war and in crushing the recent Saada uprising. It is estimated that he controls over 50 percent of ROYG military resources and assets. 8. (S) This tripartite alliance has been the cornerstone of Salehs 27-year rule. It depends on the Presidents personal relationships and history with both men. Although there have been tensions, including of late an on-again-off-again public war of words between Saleh and al-Ahmar, Saleh has remained relatively unchallenged over the course of his rule. (Note: Salehs two predecessors were both assassinated within one year. End note). In exchange, he has given both men a wide berth to run their affairs with informal armies, courts, and economic empires. Saleh often bows to their demands on issues such as anti-corruption and gun control, and makes direct payments from the treasury to the two mens tribal and military constituencies. Despite the ad hoc nature of this arrangement, it has proved essential in maintaining control over this inherently tribal country. An acceptable successor to Saleh would be expected to deliver a similar level of stability. --------------------------------------------- ----Scenario 1: Electoral Defeat, A Near Impossibility --------------------------------------------- ----9. (C) Yemen is scheduled to hold presidential elections in the fall of 2006. Assuming the President relents to his partys demands and runs as expected, it is extremely unlikely he will face a serious opposition challenger. Democracy activists from across the political spectrum yearn to see their next President elected through competitive elections, but none can point to a single viable candidate at this time. Islah, with a considerable mosque-based constituency to draw from, is the only party with the resources to mount a challenge to Saleh. It is, however, difficult to imagine as long as Sheikh al-Ahmar runs the party. (Note: in the last elections in 1999, Islah nominated Saleh rather than its own candidate. End Note). 10. (C) There have been rumblings from Islahs rank and file about fielding a candidate, most likely through the mechanism of the opposition coalition the Joint Meeting Party (JMP). Although JMP

756

leaders continue to insist the opposition will not nominate Saleh in 2006 and intends to back its own candidate, they lack the organization, unity, or viable national figure to succeed and are unlikely to try. Recent rhetoric has focused instead on unity and dialogue, pointing to a possible national unity party coalition that will endorse Saleh for another term. (ref B) 11. (C) There are currently three declared candidates for President: Tawfiq al-Khamri, Vice-President of the Council of Yemeni Entrepreneurs, recently announced his intention to run as the business candidate; Salaam al-Hakeemi who lives in exile in Cairo and was involved in a failed 1979 coup attempt; and Ahmed Noman, brother of Deputy Foreign Minister Mustafa Noman, who currently resides in London. None of these candidates represents a major political party or is considered a serious challenge to Saleh. (Note: When his brother announced his candidacy, Noman told us he received a call from Saleh who jokingly asked if the DFM would be leaving to manage the campaign. End Note). --------------------------------Scenario 2: A Fresh Start in 2013 --------------------------------12. (C) Assuming Saleh wins the next election (a pretty safe assumption), his last constitutional seven-year term would expire in 2013. Considering his age and public opposition to a constitutional amendment, most Yemenis believe that they will have a new President by 2013 at the latest. Despite weak institutions and submissive political parties, democracy has permeated Yemen enough that the public will expect to choose its next President in open elections. Ahmed Ali is currently too young according to the Constitution to hold the highest office. Saleh likely plans to use the next seven years to groom his son (a la Mubarak), make him increasingly visible, and place him in positions of higher responsibility so that he will be seen as an acceptable candidate in 2013. 13. (C) Ahmed Ali is a colonel in the Yemeni military, and heads the Yemeni Special Operations Forces and the Republican Guard (both considered the most effective military units in the country). The majority of Yemenis, tribal and non-tribal alike, have a strong aversion to hereditary succession. Until the 20th Century, hereditary succession was forbidden by the Imamate. The Imam was required to be a Zaydi and a

757

direct descendent of the Prophet, but the most qualified candidate was chosen by tribal consensus. 14. (C) These norms remain fresh for many Yemenis, and Ahmed would have to overcome the view that his accession to the presidency would be a betrayal of the republican character of the state. Election by popular vote in a viable multi-candidate election, however, would give Ahmed Ali legitimacy if Saleh can mobilize sufficient tribal and military support for his son. Faced with the absence of a viable alternative, Ahmed Ali might gain sufficient backing, but there is currently insufficient data to know if he would be able to navigate Yemens political complexities like his father, the Master Balancer. Reported feuding between the sons of Saleh and Sheikh al-Ahmar raise additional doubts as to whether the current power-sharing arrangement could be extended to the younger generation. 15. (C) Other potential candidates in 2013 could include one of the second generation of al-Ahmars. The most prominent of Sheikh Abdullahs ten sons are Sadiq, the eldest, who has already been anointed to succeed his father as head of Hashid, and Hamid, who as head of the al-Ahmar group runs the familys considerable business empire. Salehs nephews, Ammar and Yahya, both hold important positions in Yemens security establishment, but are too junior at the moment to assert themselves and play any independent political role. -----------------Scenario 3: Coup -----------------16. (S/NF) A military takeover could only realistically be launched by one of the five Area Commanders. Having himself come to power by coup, Saleh has been extremely careful to select Commanders whose loyalty is ensured by tribal bonds. Members of Saleh,s Sanhan tribe control all military districts and most high security posts, with the commanders enjoying blood and/or close ties to Saleh. The Commanders report directly to the President, outside the normal channels of the Ministry of Defense and without constitutional mandate. (ref C) They are the final authority in nearly every aspect of regional governance. In practice, they behave like tribal sheikhs and super-governors, parceling out new schools, water projects, and money. Despite periodic efforts to integrate military units, the Commanders recruit largely from regional tribes.

758

17. (C) Brigadier General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, Commander of the Northeastern region, is the most powerful of these military elites. The commander of the Eastern Area is BG Mohammed Ali Mohsen. The Eastern Area includes the governorates of Hadramawt and al-Mahra. Ali Faraj is commander for the Central Area, which includes Al-Jawf, Maarib, al-Bayda, and Shabwa, while the Southern Commander, controlling the Aden, Taiz, Lahaj, al-Dhala and Abyan, is Abd al-Aziz alThabet. Finally, BG Awadh bin Fareed commands the Central Area, including the capital Sanaa. With the exception of Ali Mohsen, all of these commands are subject to periodic change or shuffle. 18. (C) Considering the degree of loyalty that Saleh enjoys from his Commanders, it is unlikely they would launch a coup. Sanhan connections permeate the entire military, with 31 of the Presidents cousins heading army units throughout the country. In the event of Salehs sudden demise, however, the Area Commanders would be the pool from which tribal leaders would be likely to select their next President. ------------------------Scenario 4: Sudden Death ------------------------19. (C) According to Yemens constitution, the Vice President assumes the Presidency if the position becomes vacant and holds office for a maximum of sixty days until elections can be held. In the case of Salehs death or incapacitation, Sheikh al-Ahmar would likely be a key player in choosing a new leader. By law, all Presidential candidates must be submitted to the Speaker of Parliament, and approved by ten percent of the legislative body. Given the short time frame, this would give al-Ahmar a pivotal role in the selection of potential candidates. The list would likely be negotiated between al-Ahmar, representing the tribes (and Parliament), and the military represented by Ali Mohsen. Citing national unity, Parliament would likely accept a consensus candidate to avoiding a messy electoral contest at a time of such potential crisis and instability. 20. (C) In such a case, the most likely candidate would be one of the Sanhani military commanders. Despite its prominence in the state, Sanhan is a relatively minor tribe in the Hashid Confederation. Nominating a leading figure from the Hashid elite, such as al-Ahmar or one of his sons, would infuriate the larger (but weaker) Bakil Confederation. It would also alarm Southerners, who already believe the

759

state has been heavily infiltrated by tribes. Salehs relative anonymity within tribal politics, coupled with his willingness to pay the tribes handsomely for their support, was perhaps the main reason for his early success and subsequent longevity. The tribes will look to extend this arrangement by nominating another Sanhani candidate for President. 21. (S/NF) Ali Mohsen himself would be a leading contender, as he would be able to count on the loyal support of the military and the backing of supporters in both the GPC and Islah. Ali Mohsens questionable dealings with terrorists and extremists, however, would make his accession unwelcome to the U.S. and others in the international community. He is known to have Salafi leanings and to support a more radical Islamic political agenda than Saleh. (ref D) He has powerful Wahabi supporters in Saudi Arabia and has reportedly aided the KSA in establishing Wahabi institutions in northern Yemen. He is also believed to have been behind the formation of the Aden-Abyan Army, and is a close associate of noted arms dealer Faris Manna. 22. (S/NF) Ali Mohsen would likely face domestic as well as international opposition if he sought the Presidency. Mohsens reputation may have been damaged in some circles by his role in the al-Houthi rebellions. Although ultimately successful in quashing the insurgency, the campaign resulted in hundreds of fatalities, months of clashes, and earned the enmity of the northern tribes and traditional Zaydis. Yemenis generally view him as cynical and self-interested. A major beneficiary of diesel smuggling in recent years, he also appears to have amassed a fortune in the smuggling of arms, food staples, and consumer products. If he holds true to form, Mohsen would likely prefer to play kingmaker, choosing another loyal military officer to hold the Presidency. --------------------------Scenario 5: Popular Revolt --------------------------23. (C) Widespread discontent with corruption in the ROYG manifested itself in direct hostility towards the President and his clan during recent nationwide riots in protest of the lifting of fuel subsidies. The ROYG has never had a firm grip on tribal regions of the country, but recent developments hint at a greater degree of instability. The fuel demonstrations spread to the tribal regions of Marib and al-Jawf, and resentment there continues to simmer over what the tribes believe is neglect by the ROYG. (ref E) This followed on the heels of two al-Houthi

760

rebellions, which in the latter stages included attacks against ROYG officials in the capital. Contacts in other regions, including Hadramawt, Aden, and Taiz, note their own discontent with ROYG corruption and mismanagement and predict renewed resistance from Southerners. Discontent is common among Southerners, particularly in Aden, who feel that unity did not produce hoped for economic and political benefits. Instead, they complain that carpetbaggers from the north have stolen all economic opportunities in the south, and that life was better before 1990 unification. In the event of a popular revolt that gets out of hand, a strong military leader like Ali Mohsen is likely to step in to reassert order. 24. (C) The next few years may well bring increased upheaval around the country, especially if economic conditions continue to worsen and the ROYG fails to implement serious anti-corruption measures. (ref F) The Yemeni public, however, lacks the organization, education and motivation at this point in time to topple the Saleh regime. Many Yemenis point out that the daily practice of Qat chewing by most Yemeni men is the major impediment to affecting change through peaceful means. As long as we care more about chewing Qat than democracy, said one political activist sadly, we cannot make a difference. Yemenis are used to complaining about the Government, but they also fear widespread instability and believe it more likely to result in regional violence and balkanization than a positive change in regime. -------------------------Looking for the Status Quo -------------------------25. (C) Comment: President Saleh has been so successful at co-opting or eliminating his competition that few viable alternatives to his leadership exist at the moment. Those figures who exert real influence, specifically Sheikh al-Ahmar and Ali Mohsen, also have powerful enemies and prefer to be kingmakers rather than kings. Salehs success stems from his personal relationships and a complex network of deals and alliances. Regardless of the scenario, it is certain that the officers and sheikhs who comprise this patronage network would seek a successor who could maintain the status quo. This person would almost certainly be a Sanhani in the mold of Saleh, such as one of the Area Commanders or Ahmed Ali, if he is able to fill his fathers shoes. The status quo, however, is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, given a declining economy, rising frustration over official corruption, and increasing U.S. and international

761

pressures on the regime to change the way it does business. Considering these challenges, it is no wonder that even Salehs staunchest opponents are in no hurry to name his successor, just yet. End comment. Krajeski

CIA Assessment Yemen Background Information

Source: CIA World Factbook: Yemen, 2010 & 2012 Geography Yemen is located geographically on the southern border of Saudi Arabia and the eastern border of Oman, next to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. To the south, directly across the Gulf of Aden lies Somalia, and to the east, beyond Eritrea lies another U.S. target in the War on Terror, the Sudan. According to the CIAs World Factbook, this constitutes 1906 km of coastline and 1746 km of land borders. It is a little over twice the size of Wyoming, with a climate that is mostly desert; hot and humid along west coast; temperate in western mountains affected by seasonal monsoon; extraordinarily hot, dry, harsh desert in east. Its terrain is narrow coastal plain backed by flat-topped hills and rugged mountains; dissected upland desert plains in center slope into the desert interior of the Arabian Peninsula. The highest elevation of the landscape is Jabal an Nabi Shu'ayb, at 3,760 m. Natural hazards include sandstorms and dust storms in summer volcanism: Yemen experiences limited volcanic activity; Jebel at Tair (Jabal al-Tair, Jebel Teir, Jabal al-Tayr, Jazirat at-Tair) (elev. 244 m), which forms an island in the Red Sea, erupted in 2007 after awakening from dormancy; other historically active volcanoes include Harra of Arhab, Harras of Dhamar, Harra es-Sawad, and Jebel Zubair, although many of these have not erupted in over a century. Current environmental issues include limited natural freshwater resources; inadequate supplies of potable water; overgrazing; soil erosion; desertification.

Background
North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. The British, who had set up a protectorate area around the southern port of Aden in the 19th century, withdrew in 1967 from what became South Yemen. Three years later, the southern government adopted a Marxist orientation. The massive exodus of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis from the south to the north contributed to two decades of hostility between the states. The two countries were formally unified as the Republic of Yemen in 1990. A southern secessionist movement in 1994 was quickly subdued. In 2000, Saudi Arabia and Yemen agreed to a delimitation of their border. Fighting in the northwest between the government and Huthi rebels, a group seeking a return to traditional Zaydi Islam, began in 2004 and has since resulted in six rounds of fighting - the last ended in early 2010 with a ceasefire that continues to hold. The southern secessionist movement was revitalized in 2008 when a popular socioeconomic protest movement initiated the prior year took on political goals including secession. Public rallies in Sana'a against President SALIH - inspired by similar demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt - slowly built momentum starting in late January 2011 fueled by complaints over high unemployment, poor economic conditions, and corruption. By the following month, some protests had resulted in violence, and the demonstrations had spread to other major cities. By March the opposition had hardened its demands and was unifying behind calls for SALIH's immediate ouster. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in late April 2011, in an attempt to mediate the crisis in Yemen, proposed an agreement in which the president would step down in exchange for immunity from prosecution. SALIH's refusal to sign an agreement led to heavy street fighting and his injury in an explosion in June 2011. The UN Security Council passed Resolution 2014 in October 2011 calling on both sides to end the violence and complete a power transfer deal. In late November 2011, President SALIH signed the GCC-brokered agreement to step down and to transfer some of his powers to Vice President Abd al-Rabuh Mansur HADI. Following elections in February 2012, won by HADI, SALIH formally transferred his powers.

Summary
[Editorial Note: This summary is from the 2010 CIA World Factbook edition fills in the blanks in the Background information presented above from the 2012 edition.

With limited natural resources, a crippling illiteracy rate, and high population growth, Yemen faces an array of daunting development challenges that some observers believe make it at risk for becoming a failed state. In 2009, Yemen ranked 140 out of 182 countries on the United Nations Development Programs Human Development Index, a score comparable to the poorest sub-Saharan African countries. Over 43% of the population of nearly 24 million people lives below the poverty line, and per capita GDP is estimated to be between $650 and $800. Yemen is largely dependent on external aid from Persian Gulf countries, Western donors, and international financial institutions, though its per capita share of assistance is below the global average. As the countrys population rapidly rises, resources dwindle, terrorist groups take root in the outlying provinces, and a southern secessionist movement grows, the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress are left to grapple with the consequences of Yemeni instability. Traditionally, U.S.-Yemeni relations have been tepid, as the lack of strong military-to-military partnership, trade relations, and cross cultural exchanges has hindered the development of close bilateral ties. During the early years of the Bush Administration, relations improved under the rubric of the war against Al Qaeda, though Yemens lax policy toward wanted terrorists and U.S. concerns about governance and corruption have stalled large-scale U.S. support. Over the past several fiscal years, Yemen has received on average between $20 million and $25 million annually in total U.S. foreign aid. In FY2010, Yemen is receiving $58.4 million in aid. The Defense Department also is providing Yemens security forces with $150 million worth of training and equipment for FY2010. For FY2011, the Obama Administration requested $106 million in U.S. economic and military assistance to Yemen. As President Obama and the 111th Congress reassess U.S. policy toward the Arab world, the opportunity for improved U.S.-Yemeni ties is strong, though tensions persist over counterterrorism cooperation. In recent years, the broader U.S. foreign policy community has not adequately focused on Yemen, its challenges, and their potential consequences for U.S. foreign policy interests beyond the realm of counterterrorism. The failed bomb attack against Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Day 2009 once again highlighted the potential for terrorism emanating from Yemen, a potential that periodically emerges to threaten

766

U.S. interests both at home and abroad. Whether terrorist groups in Yemen, such as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), have a longterm ability to threaten U.S. homeland security may determine the extent of U.S. resources committed to counterterrorism and stabilization efforts there. Some believe these groups lack such capability and fear the United States might overreact; others assert that Yemen is gradually becoming a failed state and safe haven for Al Qaeda operatives and as such should be considered an active theater for U.S. counterterrorism operations. Given Yemens contentious political climate and its myriad development challenges, most long-time Yemen watchers suggest that security problems emanating from Yemen may persist in spite of increased U.S. or international efforts to combat them.

Economy
Yemen is a low income country that is highly dependent on declining oil resources for revenue. Petroleum accounts for roughly 25% of GDP and 70% of government revenue. Yemen has tried to counter the effects of its declining oil resources by diversifying its economy through an economic reform program initiated in 2006 that is designed to bolster non-oil sectors of the economy and foreign investment. In October 2009, Yemen exported its first liquefied natural gas as part of this diversification effort. In January 2010, the international community established the Friends of Yemen group that aims to support Yemen's efforts toward economic and political reform, and in August 2010 the IMF approved a three-year $370 million program to further this effort. Despite these ambitious endeavors, Yemen continues to face difficult long term challenges, including declining water resources and a high population growth rate.
[Editorial Note: Here, I wish to point out the difference between the description of the Yemeni economy as of this current 2012 update to the CIA World Factbook, and what was stated in the Oct. 2010 Update of the same. The glaring difference is the sudden cash infusion from the IMF in August of 2010 and the announcement of the Friends of Yemen group.] What follows is the description that was showing on the CIAs website in late 2010:

[Yemen is a low income country that is highly dependent on declining oil resources for revenue. Petroleum accounts for roughly 25% of GDP and 70% of government revenue. Annual real GDP growth has averaged 3-4% since 2000. Yemen has been largely unaffected by and insulated from the effects of the global economic crisis because its financial system is underdeveloped and not well integrated into the international community, but the drop in oil prices since mid-2008 slashed government oil revenues in 2009 by more than 50%, as compared to 2008. Yemen has tried to counter the effects of its declining oil resources by diversifying its economy through an economic reform program initiated in 2006 that is designed to bolster non-oil sectors of the economy and foreign investment. In October 2009, Yemen exported its first liquefied natural gas as part of this diversification effort. The Yemen government in August reaffirmed its commitment to reforms in a plan detailing the country's top ten development priorities. Despite these ambitious plans, Yemen faces difficult long term challenges, including declining water resources and a high population growth rate.]

EXECUTIVE ORDER 13224

BLOCKING PROPERTY AND PROHIBITING TRANSACTIONS WITH PERSONS WHO COMMIT, THREATEN TO COMMIT, OR SUPPORT TERRORISM

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)(IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287c) (UNPA), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and in view of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1214 of December 8, 1998, UNSCR 1267 of October 15, 1999, UNSCR 1333 of December 19, 2000, and the multilateral sanctions contained therein, and UNSCR 1363 of July 30, 2001, establishing a mechanism to monitor the implementation of UNSCR 1333, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, find that grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon committed on September 11, 2001, acts recognized and condemned in UNSCR 1368 of September 12, 2001, and UNSCR 1269 of October 19, 1999, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on United States nationals or the United States constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and in furtherance of my proclamation of September 14, 2001, Declaration of National Emergency by Reason of Certain Terrorist Attacks, hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I also find that because of the pervasiveness and expansiveness of the financial foundation of foreign terrorists, financial sanctions may be appropriate for those foreign persons that support or otherwise associate with these foreign terrorists. I also find that a need exists for further consultation and cooperation with, and sharing of information by, United States and foreign financial institutions as an additional tool to enable the United States to combat the financing of terrorism.

773

I hereby order: Section 1. Except to the extent required by section 203(b) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)), or provided in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the effective date of this order, all property and interests in property of the following persons that are in the United States or that hereafter come within the United States, or that hereafter come within the possession or control of United States persons are blocked: (a) foreign persons listed in the Annex to this order; (b) foreign persons determined by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General, to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States; (c) persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, to be owned or controlled by, or to act for or on behalf of those persons listed in the Annex to this order or those persons determined to be subject to subsection 1(b), 1(c), or 1(d)(i) of this order; (d) except as provided in section 5 of this order and after such consultation, if any, with foreign authorities as the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General, deems appropriate in the exercise of his discretion, persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General; (i) to assist in, sponsor, or provide financial, material, or technological support for, or financial or other services to or in support of, such acts of terrorism or those persons listed in the Annex to this order or determined to be subject to this order; or (ii) to be otherwise associated with those persons listed in the Annex to this order or those persons determined to be subject to subsection 1(b), 1(c), or 1(d)(i) of this order. Sec. 2. Except to the extent required by section 203(b) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)), or provided in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any

774

contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the effective date: (a) any transaction or dealing by United States persons or within the United States in property or interests in property blocked pursuant to this order is prohibited, including but not limited to the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services to or for the benefit of those persons listed in the Annex to this order or determined to be subject to this order; (b) any transaction by any United States person or within the United States that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited; and (c) any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited. Sec. 3. For purposes of this order: (a) the term person means an individual or entity; (b) the term entity means a partnership, association, corporation, or other organization, group, or subgroup; (c) the term United States person means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States; and (d) the term terrorism means an activity that (i) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; and (ii) appears to be intended (A) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (B) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (C) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, kidnapping, or hostage-taking. Sec. 4. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by United

775

States persons to persons determined to be subject to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order, and would endanger Armed Forces of the United States that are in a situation where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order. Furthermore, I hereby determine that the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 (title IX, Public Law 106-387) shall not affect the imposition or the continuation of the imposition of any unilateral agricultural sanction or unilateral medical sanction on any person determined to be subject to this order because imminent involvement of the Armed Forces of the United States in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances. Sec. 5. With respect to those persons designated pursuant to subsection 1(d) of this order, the Secretary of the Treasury, in the exercise of his discretion and in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, may take such other actions than the complete blocking of property or interests in property as the President is authorized to take under IEEPA and UNPA if the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, deems such other actions to be consistent with the national interests of the United States, considering such factors as he deems appropriate. Sec. 6. The Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and other appropriate agencies shall make all relevant efforts to cooperate and coordinate with other countries, including through technical assistance, as well as bilateral and multilateral agreements and arrangements, to achieve the objectives of this order, including the prevention and suppression of acts of terrorism, the denial of financing and financial services to terrorists and terrorist organizations, and the sharing of intelligence about funding activities in support of terrorism. Sec. 7. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA and UNPA as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States Government. All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this order.

776

Sec. 8. Nothing in this order is intended to affect the continued effectiveness of any rules, regulations, orders, licenses, or other forms of administrative action issued, taken, or continued in effect heretofore or hereafter under 31 C.F.R. chapter V, except as expressly terminated, modified, or suspended by or pursuant to this order. Sec. 9. Nothing contained in this order is intended to create, nor does it create, any right, benefit, or privilege, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against the United States, its agencies, officers, employees or any other person. Sec. 10. For those persons listed in the Annex to this order or determined to be subject to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render these measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to this order. Sec. 11. (a) This order is effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 24, 2001. (b) This order shall be transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register. THE WHITE HOUSE, September 23, 2001.
