A prominent political analyst says US neo-conservatives are pursuing their objectives in Syria through their ‘private army’, which basically constitutes of al-Qaeda-linked militants fighting against the Damascus government, Press TV reports.

“Groups like the Mujahideen who fought during the Soviet War in Afghanistan, and later emerged as the Taliban and al-Qaeda were tools of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),” Gordon Duff, a senior editor at Veterans Today, told Press TV by phone on Saturday.

“There never was an al-Qaeda; well there is today. A very real al-Qaeda has been assembled, and it’s in Syria now,” he stated.

Duff added that there were pictures of “aircraft leased to the Department of Defense” on which the CIA was flying al-Qaeda members into Syria to take control of Syrian villages.

“They are taking women and girls hostage and using them as tools of sexual battery,” Duff said.

He also condemned US Senator John McCain’s surprise visit to Syria earlier this week, during which the Arizona senator met with a group of foreign-sponsored militants.

“Photographs have him meeting with criminal elements and with al-Qaeda commanders.”

Syria has been gripped by a deadly unrest since March 2011, and many people, including large numbers of government forces, have been killed in the violence.

Damascus says the chaos in the country is being orchestrated from outside.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said that if the militants take power in Syria, they could destabilize the entire Middle East region for decades.

McCainVisitedKidnappersinSyria

A shocking report from pan-Arab TV station Al-Jadeed reveals America’s Republican Senator, John McCain, visited kidnappers of Lebanese pilgrims.

Elizabeth O’Bagy, political director for the “Syrian Emergency Task Force” and , a U.S.-based nonprofit providing support to the opposition, allegedly organised the visit which brought McCain just half a mile inside Syria on Monday 27 May.

The 76 year-old notoriously hawkish senator is particularly famous for singing a song consisting of the words “bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.”

In one meeting inside the Syrian border at the Bab al-Salameh border border crossing, he held talks with Asifat al-Shamal (Northern Storm Brigade), which controls the crossing. Asifat al-Shamal is one of countless militant groups which make up the much reported “Free Syrian Army”, a term which has becoming increasingly redundant as sectarianism, religious extremism and Al-Qaeda ideology become the norm.

In Elizabeth O’Bagy’s own Twitter commentary, she announced that McCain was hosted by the Asifat al-Shamal Brigade and met twenty “commanders” in total.

Soon after or during the snap visit, at least three photos surfaced showing McCain posing with various individuals.

In the following images, McCain is posing with senior members of the Asifat al-Shamal Brigade as well as the chief of the “Free Syrian Army”, Salim Idriss.

On May 22, 2012, dozens of Lebanese men and women were travelling on a bus through Syria on their way back to Lebanon from a pilgrimage to religious sites in Iran. After crossing the Turkish border into the Aleppo region, the bus was ambushed in Azzaz by around 30 gunmen, who forced several of the passengers to dismount at gunpoint. The militants instructed one of the passengers to go to the local police station, report the ambush and inform police officers of a desire to swap the hostages for two individuals being held by police.

Following much global media coverage, it was alleged by supporters and apologists of armed groups that the hostages were “members of Hezbollah”, a predictable accusation, echoing countless war crimes in which the victims are accused of being somehow linked to the Syrian government. Usually, the victims are of a minority sect, underlining the overt sectarianism espoused by the thousand or so militant groups operating in Syria. Victims of the ambush say that they were never accused of being members of Hezbollah, but rather, that because they are Shia Muslims, they could be used as leverage to negotiate with the Syrian government. The same militant group, kidnapped Lebanese journalist Fidaa Itani in late 2012.

In total, eleven men were kidnapped by the militant groups in Azzaz. The hostages have been regularly referred to as “the Forgotten” as they are still being held in captivity.

Daniel Shoueib, a relative of one of the hostages, who was reading the news of McCain’s surprise and unexpected visit, was shocked to see the photo which showed men he recognised as the kidnappers on May 22, 2012. Daniel went on to criticise American policy, specifically the sponsoring and support of terror groups who are responsible for acts such as sectarian kidnappings. .. points to the sign in the larger version of the photo which among other words printed, says “New Syria”.

Another relative, Hayat Aouali, spoke of the United States with its influence over armed militant groups, challenging its decision-makers to use the influence to bring about the release of the hostages, who are said to be held in circumstances involving maltreatment.

Significantly, Turkey’s support for armed groups in Syria, especially for the organisation with which McCain visited in Syria, paints a bleak picture of regional positions toward Syria. Indeed, it appears to vindicate the Syrian government’s position that the insurgency and violence are a result of foreign intervention.

Reporters from Lebanon’s Al-Jadeed TV met militants from the Asifat al-Shamal Brigade at the Bab al-Salameh border crossing, as did John McCain on Monday. In a screenshot of Al-Jadeed TV’s report, a man identified as Muahmmad Noor can be seen – a member of the militant brigade.



In the images of McCain’s visit, the same man can be seen.



The man behind McCain’s right shoulder is Abu Youssef. He stamped the passports of the Al-Jadeed TV staff when they visited Syria through the Bab al-Salameh border crossing. The following images show Abu Youssef in both a screenshot from the Al-Jadeed report and him posing with McCain during his visit.

The following is the report from Al-Jadeed TV. The clip was translated by Arabi Souri.

Abu Youssef is spotted in a CNN report on McCain’s visit. Note that the man being interviewed is present in all of the photos of the senators visit – highlighting the mainstream media’s reliance on what it usually refers to as peaceful “activists”, despite there oftentimes active involvement in armed and usually sectarian militant organisations.

Horror in Israel: 30,000 Mossad spies exposed

Last week, the hacker organization “Anonymous,” symbolized by the famous “Guy Fawkes” mask, hacked Israel’s Mossad.

The hack, initially exposing a hidden network of 30,000 covert operatives, some openly labeled “hitman,” came only days after Israel admitted to their 2010 act of piracy and terrorism against the Freedom Flotilla.

Now the Israeli regime has filled the internet with threats against “Anonymous,” if detailed information on their terror cells is leaked.

After all, who is better to carry out acts of terrorism than an organization with 30,000 covert operatives around the world, almost all trained in use of explosives and demolition, building IEDs, car bombs, kidnapping and assassination and with a long and very public history of, not just murdering people but getting away with it as well.

Every day we see it in the news, dozens killed in Pakistan, dozens more in Iraq, Kenya, Nigeria, the covert army of 30,000, planning terror, building a dozen car bombs a day and then being able to, not just write the lies blaming others but, in most cases, direct public officials, controlled through blackmail, threats or bribery, to “respond as directed.”

Did I forget Syria?

The army, more correctly the “cells” exposed by Anonymous include:

1. Direct Action: Assassins, explosives experts (for the Mossad “signature” car bombs) and kidnap/rendition teams

2. Espionage: Made up of trained agent handlers and signals intelligence personnel, often specially trained while posing as doing their “national service,” this group runs the Pentagon and White House, makes up Congressional employees, most think tanks, AIPAC and the ADL/SPLC. Key espionage operatives are seldom Israeli. Many are Turkish, Saudi, Jordanian and even Cuban diplomats.

3. Controlled opposition: Most obvious are the White Supremacist/Neo-Nazi groups recently exposed as being funded through Merkel’s government in Germany at the direction of the Likudist Party in Israel. Nearly every individual or organization, with few exceptions, that describes itself as “holocaust denial,” “anti-Zionist” or “historical revisionist” is now funded and directed through Israel.

4. Thought Control: No textbook, no university chair, no broadcast executive nor any news editor is ever employed unless a member of the “30,000.” All belong, all are, not just “answerable,” but actively involved in creating cover stories to shift blame for mass killings, political assassination, economic crimes or simply to put forth a continual “drumming,” of the big lie.

Birth by Murder

The first major act of terrorism by Israel’s Irgun, the predecessor to the Mossad, was in 1949. America’s first Secretary of Defense, an office Chuck Hagel only recently assumed, a man under 24-hour protection against Mossad assassins even today, was James Forrestal.

Forrestal was an enemy of Stalin and his inner circle of Zionists who, with the influence of Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, took control of President Truman, pushing him to back the occupation of Palestine by Communists, establishing a Soviet foothold in the Middle East under the guise of a “Jewish state.”

Under the guidance of Morgenthau, one million German POWs were starved to death, Germany was de-industrialized and Stalin was allowed to move into Eastern Europe and gain de facto control of France, Italy, establish broad terror and espionage cells that spread across the world, particularly in Washington.

When the now reviled Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed the State Department was filled with communists, he was totally correct.

Bernard Baruch told Forrestal that Zionists were going to kill him. The Irgun had tried to kill British Foreign Secretary Brevin in 1946.

Forrestal, though Secretary of Defense, was continually attacked by the media, Walter Winchell and Drew Pearson, the most influential columnists of the day, wrote scathing attacks against Forrestal continually.

Assassination teams following Forrestal were arrested more than once but released on orders from President Truman who, in March of 1949, finally fired Forrestal over his opposition to Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Soon afterward, Forrestal was poisoned and taken to Bethesda Naval Hospital. While there, he was thrown out of a 16th story window, his body showing signs of a desperate struggle, the room in disarray.

Walter Winchell, an accused Stalinist agent, called Forrestal’s death a “suicide,” a verdict certified later despite evidence to the contrary. The control of the press, likely 10,000 of the identities Anonymous accessed, seen today was “alive and well” many decades ago.

As, decades later, the public became aware that the killings of Forrestal, the Kennedy’s, Martin Luther King, even prominent American Jews like Senator Paul Wellstone and his family were Mossad operations.

The Hollywoodism “spin” on the Forrestal assassination is the classic. We are told that Secretary of Defense Forrestal killed himself because his brain had been taken over by one of the aliens that crash-landed at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.

Jeremy Kagen, producer of the 1981 film, “The Chosen,” depicting New York’s Hasidic community, is responsible for the 1994 film, “Roswell,” which implies Forrestal was murdered by aliens.

We have seen it for over 60 years, if the trail leads to Tel Aviv, it must have been “little green men.”

Is the Story Dead?

As soon as the story hit, press assets, both “blogosphere shills” and the MSM passed on the word, “Mossad assassination teams know where to find ‘Anonymous’ and are ready to kill family members, pets, blow up neighborhoods or even shoot up another elementary school.”

Those passing on the threats are guilty as co-conspirators, covering for espionage and terror groups, using terrorism to protect terrorists.

Thus far, we have only seen the email accounts, a horror in itself, revealing what may only be the “tip of the iceberg.”

What if only 5,000 of the 30,000 are “agent handlers?” Does this mean there are tens of thousands of additional “deep cover agents” armed with dirty bombs or ready to kill public officials if, let’s say, there is a threat to cut aid to Israel?

Wait, isn’t this exactly what brought on 9/11?

Netanyahu blackmailing West over Iran

The US government has intelligence reports that Israel is planning a pre-emptive strike on Iran in order to throw the US presidential election to Mitt Romney.

America’s political response is to stage one of the largest naval exercises in history is taking place near the Straits of Hormuz, the “choke point” on the Persian Gulf where Iran is capable of shutting off 35% of the world’s oil. 

The fragile western economy would shatter immediately were Hormuz blockaded due to military action. 

Netanyahu is blackmailing the west, threatening to “crash” their currencies and destroy their economies. 

In addition, it was reported in The Guardian that Britain has denied use of her bases in Cyprus, Diego Garcia and the Ascension Islands along with existing bases in the United Kingdom by the United States if any plan to enter into a pre-emptive attack on Iran is suggested. 

Ministry officials have informed Prime Minister Cameron that an attack on Iran would represent a “war crime” and would be inconsistent with International Law. From today’s Guardian: “Military action not right course", Downing Street says.

Britain has rebuffed US pleas to use military bases in the UK to support the build-up of forces in the Gulf, citing secret legal advice, which states that any pre-emptive strike on Iran could be in breach of international law. 

The US approaches are part of contingency planning over the nuclear standoff with Tehran, but British ministers have so far reacted coolly. 

They have pointed US officials to legal advice drafted by the attorney general’s office, which has been circulated to Downing Street, the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Defense. 

This makes clear that Iran, which has consistently denied it has plans to develop a nuclear weapon, does not currently represent “a clear and present threat”. Providing assistance to forces that could be involved in a pre-emptive strike would be a clear breach of international law, it states.” 

"The UK would be in breach of international law if it facilitated what amounted to a pre-emptive strike on Iran,” said a senior Whitehall source. “It is explicit. The government has been using this to push back against the Americans.” 

Similarly, this week, Russia announced that it has found Iran’s nuclear program as entirely peaceful and will block any efforts to authorize the use of force against Iran: 

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that there is “absolutely no evidence” that Iran has decided to include a military component in its nuclear program, RIA Novosti reported. 

Speaking during an interview with the Russian daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Lavrov also said that his country will scuttle any UN Security Council resolution that could be interpreted as authorizing military action against Iran.

"As the Libyan experience has shown, sadly, a military scenario is possible," Lavrov stated when asked whether Israel or the United States could start military operations in Iran. 

Russia will therefore exercise an extremely cautious approach at the UN Security Council, he added. 

“We won’t allow any more such disingenuous interpretations. We will see to it that no resolution is open to interpretation like the one on Libya,” Lavrov stated. 

A day later, Lavrov was joined by Swiss Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter who indicated that Switzerland opposes sanctions against Iran and is willing to work closely with Russia to prevent an escalation in the region.

American politics and plans for Israeli expansionism into Syria and Iraq are at the heart of conflict with Iran’s capabilities representing the balance of power in the region. Extremists in Israel believe Obama, in a second term, is unlikely to support Israel despite his recent promises. 

Romney has been losing ground in Ohio despite attempts to misrepresent his political strength and without Ohio; Romney stands no chance of winning. 

Only a war, perhaps a world war can save Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu believes Israel is doomed if there is another four years of Obama presidency. 

In order to attempt to control Israeli aggression, President Obama has agreed to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Britain recently sent Sir John Sawyers, head of MI-6 to try to convince Netanyahu of the futility of his stated objectives. 

The Israeli strike had been planned to be launched from Azerbaijan but diplomatic efforts from Tehran have “closed that door” on Israeli aggression. It is said that two squadrons of American built F-15 and F-16’s returned to Israel over Georgia and Turkey, then off the Syrian coast to Israel, being refueled by American air tankers. 

A shorter route over Iraq or Armenia, perhaps even Syria may have had serious consequences. 

This leaves Israel the only option of flying directly over Saudi Arabia. Any other path, Turkey, Iraq, the 4500-mile “open sea” route are unlikely. 

Turkey had recent talks with Iran, has supported Iran in her efforts to end the nuclear stalemate and is unwilling to be seen as a NATO “doormat” for Israel’s expansionism against Islam. 

Similarly, Iraq has had recent talks with Iran, and has added to her air defense capabilities with a $4 billion order for advanced Russian weaponry, both air defense and advanced combat aircraft. 

Though Iran has claimed to have significantly improved her existing air defense system, rumors in the defense community support the supposition that Russia has delivered S400 systems to Iran, though not in significant numbers, enough to down, with absolute certainty, any Israeli or other plane, even ballistic or cruise missiles, that approach Iran though hundreds of miles away. 

The critical issue to the current naval exercise which includes three American carrier battle groups is the attempt to impress upon Iran that her anti-ship missile defenses can be overwhelmed by massive airpower. 

The issue has nothing to do with Israel, as reports on the attack profile planned by Israel indicate that they have chosen a “soft profile.” 

This means that Israel has no plans to attack heavily defended facilities as aircraft and pilot losses are certain. Israel feels its political objective can be accomplished by attacking rural and even abandoned areas with no targets of value and little or no air defense in depth. 

This is the same tack that Israel chose in their two attacks on Syria, in 2003 and 2007, attacking open desert and claiming propaganda victories. No actual targets were destroyed as Syria, since 1996 has had a non-export S300 advanced air defense system capable of destroying any missiles or aircraft currently in Israel’s or even America’s inventory. 

The September 2007 “missile base attack” is supposed to have taken place in the middle of Turkish sponsored peace talks between Israel and Syria, attacks on a base manned entirely by Russian personnel, and, as such, a totally imaginary attack. This is the nature of “War by Deception.” 

As the 25 nation exercise ends, and the thousands of Marines and Special Forces return home, happy they are unlikely to face Iran’s 800,000-man army and 13 million ready reserves, Iran, herself, is planning a naval exercise. 

The Iranian exercises will test 3,600 defensive locations in order to test integration capabilities between air defense and the ability to respond to acts of aggression. 

A British defense source is quoted: 

“If it came to war, there would be carnage. The Iranian casualties would be huge but they would be able to inflict severe blows against the US and British. 

The Iranian Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is well versed in asymmetrical warfare and would use swarm attacks to sink or seriously damage ships. This is a conflict nobody wants, but the rhetoric from Israel is unrelenting.” 

It is not just Iran that is concerned about attacks. Military forces within the United States have been on high alert for the past several weeks, though no reasons have been given. A “9/11” style attack, most likely on Washington, could be expected if a need to blame “Islamic extremists” is seen as the only way to support Israel’s territorial ambitions in the Sinai, West Bank, Syria and Iraq.

Why else did the CIA spymaster resign?

The United States is undergoing a political maelstrom that, in many ways, parallels what is currently going on in China. Though the election ended days ago, a significant victory for Obama, perceived by most as a repudiation of American support for Netanyahu, the real issues are far more sinister.

US General David Petraeus, former CIA chief

Powerful forces within the government are reacting, not just to threats of civil war, assassination and domestic terrorism. There is a vast and well-orchestrated clandestine effort to centralize power behind the presidency, preparation likely to lead to an expansion in executive power. 

All competing factions, Pentagon, State Department, CIA and courts face disembowelment by the Obama administration. 

Does this represent a change in American policy, both domestic and foreign, or is this a consolidation at the behest of the unseen ruling elites many claim controlled both candidates, Obama and Romney, equally? 

Today, General David Petraeus resigned as CIA director sighting “poor judgment” in his personal life, an “extramarital affair” as the reason. 

No one believes him. 

A top American general, the “Patton” of our time, CIA chief and potential presidential candidate is now a broken man, career in ruins, supposedly over an affair with a female American intelligence operative. 

From Veterans Today: 

First, we are not ready to throw Petraeus to the wolves. 

He came to the CIA in handcuffs, historically tied to the phony war on terror, his role in the “Sunni Awakening” which paid off Baathist terrorists who are now tearing Iraq apart. 

Then there was his job in Afghanistan, having to clean up the mess made by Stanley McChrystal, who, with Richard Holbrooke, knows more about heroin than Arnold Rothstein ever did. 

It is obvious that Petraeus was compromised by a foreign power or found to be involved in something so serious that he would destroy his career and reputation in writing rather than some other consequence, typically “suiciding” or arrest. 

We share friends and all I know of Petraeus makes this, the most obvious conclusions, very difficult to believe. He is a man of humor and insight though very ambitious. 

Who could have “set up” the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency? 

A week ago, Vice Admiral Gaouette, in command of the USS Stennis and her support task force including nuclear submarines, was “perp walked” off the flight deck of the giant American carrier, twenty miles off the coast of Iran, as though he were a common criminal. 

Issues 

Even President Obama admits his first term was unsuccessful. We can submit his actions to analysis; a man openly opposed to how the war on terror was waged has now increased drone attacks significantly and threatens military interference in Syria. 

Conversely, he has been adamant in his refusal to support Netanyahu’s threats against Iran though his pre-election military display in the Persian Gulf may well have ended in disaster. 

The removal of Gaouette is unique in military history with one exception, the firing of General McArthur by President Harry Truman during the Korean War. Truman fired MacArthur for not just planning but preparing a nuclear attack on China and a full-scale invasion of the Chinese mainland. 

With only one direct parallel in the last century, it is reasonable to assume that Gaouette was following in the path of former 5th Fleet commander, Admiral Cosgriff. 

Cosgriff, according to Gwyneth Todd, Chief Political Officer for the fleet, reported Cosgriff to the Department of State when she learned that he was planning false flag terror attacks against American troops in the Persian Gulf theatre and was planning to sail American warships well into Iranian waters. 

False Flag 

To those who have gained a conspiratorial analytical hypothesis when examining the methodologies implemented by the mysterious command authority, the one that ordered the Air Force “stand down” on 9/11, the one that allowed a nuclear bomber to be stolen from Minot Air Force Base, allowing criminal elements in the government to openly take control of the reins of history, we submit the following: 

The largely privatized military/intelligence complex, driven by criminalized monopolies in narcotics, banking, oil, arms, pharmaceuticals and human trafficking has, without any question, gained control of the operations of most agencies of government, of all national economies and all media, be it news or entertainment, in the West. 

That this range of control, a misinformed electorate confined to voting for political candidates constrained to be no more than actors on a stage, has created a climate where anyone speaking with clarity, not just today, but as long ago as the First World War and every major conflict thereafter, would be labeled a “monster.” 

Today, the news is General David Petraeus. It is now obvious that he agreed to be kept on until after the election. His punishment, total self-destruction, shooting himself might have been a kindness, is difficult to fathom.

What could he have done? Andrew Breveik, the pro-Israeli mass murder of Norway has suffered a kinder fate for the murder of 77 children. 

The Unknown 

There is clearly an information void. Most “professional” news sources serve an agenda. Some, Press TV being one, serve an Iranian target audience and, on the whole, serve a unique, accurate and balanced view of the rest of the world. 

Thus, they are banned, stricken from the air and stand accused. I was accused, last week, of “working for the Iranian government” in having my writings carried by Press TV and for agreeing to take part in talk shows and political debates. 

I nearly laughed myself to death. I am an American defense contractor and counter-terrorism specialist by profession. However, with 43 years of experience, I am unlikely to be led around by the nose and much less likely to be pushed or threatened. 

There is a threat to the world. It is not Islamic extremism or even Americans gone crazy as they do each election, stirred into a self-destructive mental “haze” through third-rate propaganda. 

The real issue is dealing with political uncertainty, the difference from what is publicly said, what is publicly seen and what actually exists. 

Were America and the West simply Machiavellian, those of us trained in what the British once called “the great game” might understand. Now no one understands. 

We are living with chaos, either that or political systems bent on only entropy. 

Thus, we examine the mosaic, what we can know, discard the analysis we are fed, knowing it is always false, always deception, “wiki-deception,” and look for what we cannot see through the analysis of what we are not told, of what we don’t see, of what is avoided, not what is shown. 

This is our only tool set, our only view of the world other than conjecture, “Imagineering” or accepting the garbage we are fed.

The Plan 

One thing is clear, Obama is not entering his second, his last term as president without taking advantage of the fact he no longer needs to be concerned about election. 

What he also knows is that his predecessor left him with vast extra-constitutional powers, the Patriot Acts, FISA (some), the NDAA provisions and suspension of habeas corpus. 

What has been telling, what has added to the mosaic, has been the failure of a “liberal” president to disassemble the tools of oppression. 

Then we face the question, Is President Obama entering on a phase of building a “legacy” of economic stabilization, of peace, of stability or is he going to “vacation” his way through his political life as George “W” Bush had done? 

The other aspect of the mosaic is inextricable. Is President Obama currently in the process of “cleaning house” toward an agenda? Does he plan to attempt to influence Israel’s politics as they attempted to rig America’s election? 

If unsuccessful at that, will, as many suspect, Israel be “quarantined?” 

Enemies At Home, “Special Ops” 

It has become clear that, under the guise of misrepresentation, there are those advocating service to Israel, to Wall Street and the drug cartels and “wrapping themselves in the flag” as we call it. They, those former members of the military, current and retired, who are drawn toward being “groupies” for wealthy (and violent) extremists, are selling their souls for a crust of bread, a glass of scotch and the services of an underage prostitute of indeterminate sex. 

I know enough of these to fill an arena. 

They are long on talk, usually drunk; few have more than five minutes of facing danger in military careers that spanned decades of seat warming and petty theft. 

As we speak, their expertise, not so much in education or intelligence, not so much in physical prowess or agility but rather steeped in treason, in anger, in self-deceit and greed, these groups are raising funds to attempt to overthrow America’s government. 

Donald Trump and Ted Nugent, who, at the word of Willard Romney’s landslide defeat smeared himself from head to foot in human feces, the same way he avoided military service during the Vietnam War, this pair and others, human vermin, plan to divide America. 

Let Them? 

The threats are there, our question is whether they are recognized and the force is used to keep the American union as one, even if all of Wall Street is dragged off to prison and every corporation that has moved overseas is repatriated and taxed into the oblivion it deserves. 

The signs, the mosaic, be it the obscure and inexplicable exit of Petraeus or the upcoming demise of others we hear are heading for the “chopping block,” are clear. 

America will change, it has changed. Rot set in long ago. Perhaps amputation is a cure. 

It may well have begun, on a piecemeal basis. Perhaps it can grow. 

I have a list.

Obama saddled with mythology of 9/11

A man casts his ballot at a polling station in a laundromat in Chicago during on the US presidential election day, November 6, 2012.

It is time there were some things written by the reelection of President Obama that reflect reality. We hear the crying from Tel Aviv, their doom sealed by Netanyahu’s “blood enemy” with four years to push Israel into the sea.

This is how they are talking, them and so many others. 

Let us be honest. If you know America, if you know Israel, the two places where the election has caused so much pain to those who deserve it so much, there is an underlying reason for the feeling of impending doom. 

President Obama is a person of color. He is of African origin, and anyone who knows Israel or who knows the states painted “red” on the political map as “Republican,” knows the real basis of this election is the primal fear and hatred that those of European background, those with neither culture nor education, have for those who are different. 

Obama was never a Muslim though that should never have mattered. He certainly was not born in Kenya, a country that has proud traditions and a great people. 

Obama is hardly a Marxist. In fact, the Western kleptocracy, the oligarchical police state is very much Marxist and usurious Western “capitalism” deeply reflects the darkest days of Stalin’s rule in Russia when as many as 66 million died at the hands of “bizarre social theories” and the “greater good.” 

A sad thing about American politics is that every president spends his first term trying to seem as though he deserves a second. 

History will have to judge his decision to expand the drone war, allow heroin production, begun under Bush, to continue and flourish. Obama was saddled with the mythology of 9/11, the mythology of our “best friend Israel” and a nation that had become dependent on lies and manipulation. 

Then it happened. 

Obama’s win on Tuesday, using the real electoral count is 332 to 206. We call this a “landslide.” Romney was crushed. 

Four billion dollars was brought into the US, money from drug sales, from conflict or “blood diamonds,” mostly from pro-Israeli sources.

Additionally, in many states, the voting machines were hacked and as many as four million Republican votes were added to Romney’s total, using software that “flips” votes, software openly installed in Ohio and other states and allowed to be used despite legal objections.

America’s court system is one of the worst in the world.

The four billion dollars did buy something. Years ago, a law was passed called the McCain/Feingold Act. It allows people from “anywhere” to flood single congressional districts with massive amounts of money. 

A fact: 96% of the time, the candidate with the most money wins. 

Using this influx of funds, illegal funds, the Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives, which will prevent laws being passed, that will reestablish taxes on high-income individuals that had been eliminated by Bush. 

This money is needed to save the dollar, a currency that, were it not for Europe’s financial disaster, would have crashed into nothingness. 

The election did prove more than just the racism of rural and Southern America and the ignorance of many who are driven by fear and anger. 

Medical studies of the brains of those who call themselves “political conservatives” have found noticeable deviations from the norm, almost “reptilian” in nature. 

In a way, the police state ruled by organized crime, the media lie machines, eternal warfare is a result of physical abnormalities that affect the brain. These abnormalities prevent community cohesion, empathy for animals or even other people, even family and friends, that and a profound sense of impending disaster and fearfulness. 

This is the brain that the “pop culture media” has adapted its message to, why America and Europe’s press lie so easily, so openly, why they are so unaccountable. 

A funny thing happened during this election. Veterans Today is closely aligned with American and other military and intelligence groups. Many are actively involved in counter-terrorism activities, admittedly out of a need to earn money in what may be America’s only growth industry. 

However, such an involvement left us with staff which are highly qualified at psychological warfare, propaganda, cover and deception and clandestine operations. 

It also gives us strong relationships with international agencies tasked with drug enforcement, controlling money laundering and human trafficking. 

What surprised me, as I had become perhaps too cynical of late, was the response we received from people who were, only two years ago, close-minded about Islam, misinformed about the real roots of extremism and ignorant of the pervasive nature of worldwide organized crime and the trillions of dollars it controls through “front” corporations with bank accounts in financial “safe havens.” 

One of the largest such organizations, according to sources who had long served at the highest levels of the US Department of Justice is Bain Capital, Mitt Romney’s company. 

Further, intelligence sources in Africa and the Middle East tied Bain to trafficking in “blood diamonds” in order to secure arms for terrorist groups across Africa. 

Similarly, terrorist actions against the governments of Syria and Iraq were organized and financed by the same “triangle,” Israeli diamond merchants, Bain (secretly Cuban based) Capital and an endless flow of arms, many from China but from other sources as well. 

During the week before the election, this information was made public, though it was only read by 10% of Americans. That “10%” was enough to offset the votes stolen through rigging electronic voting machines and secure an election that the world may well survive with. 

The world never would have survived four years of Romney. That is a consensus belief among very senior people within key agencies who fought an “insurgency campaign” inside America against the massive influx of “dirty money” meant to push America and the world to war and ruin. 

If this sounds severe to you, the words are not my own. I heard them a dozen times from places I never expected. 

Even adjusting for vote rigging and suppression, over 40 million Americans voted for Romney, one out of 5 eligible to vote. 

Some were misinformed, some confused but many, and that number is critical, are dangerous social misfits. 

There is no mechanism for returning them to a point where they can be productive members of a free society. These are people who yearn for war, support torture, submit to control and are continually ridden with fear and guilt. 

Watch Fox News. Their entire “on air” staff fall under this classification, people with inadequate personalities, people unfit to live among others.

What are the people of Israel like, are they as bad as many Americans? 

You see, overall, Jews in America are educated, progressive, socially responsible people. The idea that an important part of the presidential election involves President Obama’s hatred for Jews is insane as 70% of American Jews supported him, despite pleadings from Israel. 

One surprise, somewhat at least, was the power of the “alternative media.” During the last few days, I have been subjected to pitiful attempts by groups tied to the Israeli lobby to attack and discredit me. Tapes are doctored, radio shows attack me, over a hundred new websites accuse me of every imaginable crime. 

Here is a story: I am a single human being, working for no pay, a combat disabled US Marine, working with good friends, some reasonably powerful, more than some can imagine, others are simple journalists, some poor, but all dedicated. 

Of the journalists, perhaps two dozen, writers, broadcasters, we came together. We talked, we fought at times, and we came to agreements and implemented a plan. 

We saw how ineptly much of the campaigns of both Obama and Romney were being run. To advise us, we had help from, as I had mentioned earlier, “psyops” experts, most likely the best in the world. 

We also had access to endless intelligence, the US, Africa, the Middle East, Britain, France, Germany, information any single agency would die to have. 

Against the “braying and snarling” of the campaign, a group of basically decent human beings, not without considerable talents, managed to mold public opinion enough to offset the $4 billion meant to bring the world to war. 

If only the “Masters of the Universe” could see how easily their plans were laid bare, how easily their intrigues, including especially the murder of the US Ambassador to Libya, were turned back on them. 

Arrogance must make some dull witted. 

This is a good time, not a perfect time, but a rare time in history. The few that “curse the light and pray for darkness” only make the joy of their downfall all the better.

Zionists, NATO real culprit behind anti-Islam plots

Much has happened this week, conflicting stories, the hand of intelligence agencies and special operations groups seen everywhere, controlled and orchestrated press, jumping from one farcical conspiracy theory to another.

Behind it all, two names are seen as so desperate to try to light the world aflame, an effort underway in Syria for some time, an effort perhaps not working out as well as hoped.

The names are Netanyahu and Romney though few believe “Mitt Romney” to be more than a puppet. A careful examination of his life, misrepresented as one of wealth and accomplishment shows him to be emotionally unstable, shallow, lazy and inept, a life of trickery and deceit under the protection of a powerful family and its even more powerful friends.

Netanyahu, perhaps another puppet, but not so benign, fumes away at the world, reports of his encroaching insanity and its threat to Israel and world peace are now impossible to hide. There is nothing “Jewish” or “Semitic” about Netanyahu, just psychotic.

This week of violence lands entirely on his doorstep, his and his “lapdogs” in the US, extremists at the fringe of power still controlling America’s massive private armies and intelligence groups, a major portion of the entire world’s might wielded by corporations, used to advance the plots and conspiracies of groups now long accepted as eccentric, homicidal and apocalyptic.

This week with the upheavals across the Middle East over a mysterious and extreme attack on Islam and its institutions, the real culprits are using the press to hide their intention and identities.

To cover their tracks, the real conspirators, stories about “youtube” and “Coptic Christians” and a forgotten and tasteless film long consigned to the trash heap are used to disguise the real criminals.

Ethnic and religious attacks like the ones largely responsible for the protests, all except the US Embassy attack in Libya, are considered crimes in most nations. In Canada, Australia, Germany, France and many other nations, anyone who has questioned Israel’s politics or accused anyone of Jewish background, no matter if they are caught with a bloody knife in their hands, of wrongdoing are considered criminals and consigned to a decade or more in prison.

In the United States, there is a long history of jailing anyone whose actions lead to violence. By the standard of law applied to the Chicago 7 and other Vietnam War protest groups, Terry Jones would be arrested for not only inciting a riot but for conspiracy to commit murder, acts in support of terrorism and hate crimes.

American laws cover each of these areas and his actions, were he who he says he is, an Islamophobe fanatic responsible for a massive internet onslaught of pornography, bigotry and purposeful instigation of attacks on Americans overseas, he would be in jail now, and should expect never to be released.

However, the “reverend” Terry Jones, the real culprit, can expect, any time he wishes, full support for anything he does, even if millions of emails are sent out, even if the bandwidth of the entire Internet is needed to spew his filth.

Terry Jones has worked for the CIA for much of his life, initially coordinating recruitment of terrorist groups in Germany under the Gladio program. Years ago, NATO hired social misfits and psychopaths to set up terror groups that were intended to become “underground cells” if the Soviets invaded Europe and Latin America.

Terror groups organized by NATO were set up in 36 nations on 3 continents. When no Soviet invasion happened, they began operating independently, 20 years of bombings across Europe as “P2,” war in El Salvador, Guatemala, Chile, Argentina, Angola, drug operations in Columbia, revolutionary groups in Nicaragua and Mexico, the “saviors of NATO” became the basis of terror organizations around the world, organizations now blamed on “extremists.”

The real extremists were NATO and the story is a simple one. After World War II, there were two influxes of recruits into US intelligence. First was the Galen group from NAZI Germany, brought into the US by CIA head Allen Dulles under Operation Paperclip and eventually run by George H.W. Bush and former German SS General Walter Dornberger.

This group arranged the murder of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, partnered with extremist groups in Israel and led the US down the path to oligarchical control, as is so obviously exhibited in America’s behavior around the world.

Gladio was one of their ploys, a Hitleresque plan to fight communism hijacked by a cabal of powerful international organizations, banking, oil, weapons, intent on world domination.

The second input to this organization was after the fall of the Berlin Wall when hundreds of highly trained STASI spies and killers were recruited by right wing extremist groups within the US.

They were brought into the CIA and other intelligence agencies, took over key security agencies in Europe and used their unparalleled training, skills and brutality to reinvigorate efforts toward world domination by the interests we never see except when watching Israel or the Wall Street Banks, the clumsy and stupid buffoons of the New World Order.

The truth can be difficult to accept, if not impossible. Those who sacrifice in brutal wars are hesitant to admit, no matter how compelling the evidence, that their efforts were, in actuality, in service of great evil.

During the early 20th Century, a Marine General, two time winner of the Medal of Honor came to the realization that all wars were economic, that all use of military force was a form of robbery. Smedley Butler was his name. He considered himself a “gangster for Wall Street” and, for those familiar with his teachings and military theories, considered one of the greatest men of our time.

Butler was a famous American hero, a lifelong enemy of both communism and fascism, once imprisoned for insulting Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini over an incident where Mussolini ran down a small child with his Bugatti and drove off without notice.

Today the single dead child might well be the endless dead from 9/11, an event now believed by most legitimate experts to have been staged with no Muslim terrorists involved and considerable complicity from the Bush administration with very strong evidence pointing toward Israeli operational capabilities.

The realities of human development, long stifled by decades of colonial rule, were coming to an end. The fall of Mubarak, in particular, an Israeli stooge wearing the mask of a Muslim leader, being the most dramatic.

With Egypt “in the wind” as it were, only a civil war between Christians and Muslims could put off the disaster Netanyahu feared, an America sick of war, an American military unwilling to occupy the Middle East as an Israeli surrogate and a people who may well be slowly awakening to find their government infiltrated and bought by criminal interests hard wired to Netanyahu and his gangster friends.

Intelligence sources in Libya tell us that a team arrived from the UAE set to infiltrate the demonstrators and butcher the American ambassador and his elite security team.

Perhaps it is this relationship that is the sickest of all, the circle of deception between the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia and Israel, all nations based on foreign slave labor, American military protection and rule by brutality and deception.

I am reminded of a line from a film, “The Usual Suspects.”

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn’t exist.”

With the web collapsing around Tel Aviv and the maniac unlikely to die outside a bunker as his enemies close in around him, Netanyahu still has his hands on the strings that control puppets around the world, the press, entertainment industry, key world leaders, the list is considerable as is his ability to do evil as this week has shown us.

Netanyahu and his brother in strife, Rupert Murdoch, put three consecutive British prime ministers in office and controlled them and the security services through bribery and blackmail.

His empire nearly brought down President Clinton, helped rig the election of President Bush 43 twice, started two wars and almost a third and, despite opposition, stands ready to destroy the world over Syria and Iran.

In the process, the only surviving economy in the world may be the US, though hopelessly in debt and battered by a decade of rule by foreign gangsters.

Even the super-economy of China has become brittle; the German money-machine is grinding to a halt and nations hoping for the benefits of science and human development languish yet another decade.

All of this was no accident.

The last week was no accident either, every member of the press pouring out the deceit, so many governments silent or complicit and those responsible knowing they will never be called to settle accounts. Not yet anyway.
