mujahedin-e-khalq

*

I had penned the original draft of this article in the Spring of 2012. Not long after, Seymour Hersh had published ‘Our Men in Iran?‘ citing excellent sources for his work and undermined my articles premise the Mojahedin-e-Khalq had renounced armed struggle, which, of course, caused me to reassess the wider picture of how this group plays in geo-politics. This is the considerably revamped result. The upshot is, the Bush administration, using the several thousand MEK members trapped in Iraq, held the MEK hostage to reentering the game of terror, as state actors. This has carried on under Obama; where the MEK had managed to be de-listed as a terror group in Europe by legitimate means of giving up armed struggle, they were forced into the game of assassination to earn a subsequent ‘de-listing’ by the Americans.

Mojahedin-e-Khalq; A story of no winners

This story of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq, a dissident Iranian group, begins with [Bill Clinton’s] Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s statement:

“In 1953, the United States played a significant role in orchestrating the overthrow of Iran’s popular prime minister, Mohammed Mossadegh. 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.”

This month of August 2013, 60 years after the fact, the CIA has finally declassified documents relevant to the USA’s overthrow of the government of Iran.

Allen Dulles’ CIA was responsible for this ‘cold war’ crime, which had as much to do with American oil companies interests and military/industrial complex corporate profit lines, that is to say securing arms sales relevant to corporate greed, as much or more than it had to do with Soviet containment. The British monopoly on Iran’s oil production was broken, and American companies were able to muscle their way into the Iran oil market. After, the Shah of Iran, imposed on the Iranian people by the USA, became a prime buyer in the American weapons market, at one point going on an $8 billion in high tech weapons purchase spree. In the mid 1970s, by comparison with today, taking inflation into account, more than $34 billion in one short period.

With the CIA’s consolidation of absolute power handed to Shah Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, and its training and long term support [with pro-active MOSSAD assistance] of the new and patently illegal regime’s brutal secret police SAVAK, subsequent torture and execution of political opposition, the wheels were put in motion for extended period of political friction and legitimate armed resistance under recognized principles of international law.

According to Encyclopædia Iranica:

“A U.S. Army colonel working for the CIA was sent to Persia in September 1953 to work with General Teymur Bakhtiar, who was appointed military governor of Tehran in December 1953 and immediately began to assemble the nucleus of a new intelligence organization. The U.S. Army colonel worked closely with Bakhtīār and his subordinates, commanding the new intelligence organization and training its members in basic intelligence techniques, such as surveillance and interrogation methods, the use of intelligence networks, and organizational security.”

These events initialized armed resistance movements in several and/or mutating forms over time, including the ‘People’s Mujahedin of Iran’, also known as the MEK or Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization. There is a large [disarmed] remnant of the MEK imprisoned in a what amounts to a concentration camp in Iraq.

The Mojahedin-e-Khalq is problematic from a classic point of view in the history of American geo-political strategy. Allied with the Ayatollahs, until the overthrow of the Shah, there is record of Mojahedin-e-Khalq assassination of several Americans materially supporting the Shah’s regime, pointing towards the 1979 revolution.

However, post revolution development changed the political alignment of the MEK. Initially it was the Ayatollah Khomeini turned on the MEK in his consolidation and control over Iran’s revolution of 1979.

From this time forward, events saw the MEK degenerate from a powerful force turned to attempting overthrow of the ayatollahs, to a struggle to survive as an ‘isolani pawn’ in geo-political chess.

What the MEK could not have known of, at least in the rank and file, is the Paris meeting facilitated by Robert Gates of the CIA via MOSSAD, where 1980 Vice Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush met together with representative of the Ayatollah Khomeini.

There was a three way deal made, taken together with intervening subsequent events, it would seem the 1980 meeting had sealed the MEK fate 30 years in the future.

The Carter administration had ‘green lighted’ Iraq’s Saddam to invade Iran, following the desert fiasco when the American Embassy hostage rescue operation had come apart. With CIA personality William Casey running Reagan’s campaign, an initial ‘ernest money’ payment of $40 million cash (over $113 Million today, calculated with the inflation index) had been paid to Iran’s new rulers (the ayatollahs) to delay the release of the hostages until after the 1980 elections. A former CIA director, Reagan’s vice presidential running mate, George Herbert Walker Bush,  had been the Reagan camp’s representative at the meeting in Paris authorizing Israel to clandestinely arm Iran, evolving over time into the spillover Iran-Contra affair, and most certainly there would be wicked fallout for MEK as a deadly [at this period] internal foe of the Iranian regime.

Subsequent to the Paris meeting (linked American eyewitness account, Israeli eyewitness account HERE), the Ayatollah Khomeini would have leverage to receive much of the intelligence he needed from western agencies to deal aggressively with MEK, this was a top priority of the new regime and simply would not be neglected when bargaining from a position of advantage in negotiations with CIA and MOSSAD, to expect otherwise in matters of the geo- politic of the moment, is pure naïveté. In fact Iran was able to take a big piece of the MEK network down from within Iran, subsequently MEK became based in Iraq during the period of the Iraq-Iran war begun by Saddam. With the USA initially taking a ‘hands off’ position for public consumption, but eventually playing both sides, now arming Iraq, as well all the while feeding weapons to Iran, using Israel as the intermediary. That’s how a dirty double game is played. Both regimes were supplied weapons and intelligence and encouraged to tear each other to pieces.

The Ayatollahs had the weaponry needed to counter Saddam, the [treasonous] American party to the meeting, George Herbert Walker Bush, was delivered a victory in the 1980 presidential election, and Israel scored a Christian Zionist ally in the newly elected Reagan/Bush administration and a lift to the Israeli weapons industry.

Meanwhile, as Iraq and Iran were tearing each other to pieces with MEK become openly aligned with Iraq, alienating many Iranian supporters and serving to weaken the organization considerably even further, on more than one front. Not only was there the loss of much indigenous Iranian support for MEK came with the Iraq alignment, but there was subsequent attending and problematic public relations image of having become aligned with a man [Saddam] who’d gassed the Iraqi Kurds in which area the MEK was based, with USA complicity.

The MEK having relocated to Iraq for purposes of survival and on-going, pro- active military operations against the ayatollahs had, by 1990 with the Iraq/Iran war over, done considerable damage to its cause. An ensuing decade of weakened MEK resistance is largely notable for the Clinton administration having designated the MEK as a ‘terrorist’ organization, as a geo-political concession to Iran, when there were some attempt at USA/Iranian dialogue.

By 2001 the MEK had renounced violent struggle and converted to a political opposition in exile. This position was reinforced by the fact the MEK had negotiated its disarmament with the American military following the 2003 Iraq invasion and in fact turned its weapons over to the Americans as agreed, and without hostilities.

This past 10 years, closing the MEK story to the present, are interesting times, rich in intrigue and point to the western democracies, USA and France particularly, pursuing strategy to eliminate the MEK as a viable political movement in any possible future or post ayatollah Iran. The facts are succinct; the people of MEK had disarmed and international bodies, including the European Union’s courts have found the MEK has honored it stated intent of 2001 to become a non-violent political movement. In 2003, French neo-con Nicolas Sarkozy, then Interior Minister, approved of a police raid on MEK associated people, ordered by a French anti-terror magistrate, no doubt at Sarkozy’s instigation. The charges were not sustained and a member of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Sam Brownback, accused Sarkozy of “doing Iran’s dirty work.” Brownback would have access to classified information at a necessary level to know.

This becomes more germane as the decade unfolds in USA/Iran relations and developments in regards to Iraq, oil and geo-politics. This is one aspect. But it is a dirty double game and of course this holds surprises.

About the time the American military handed custody of the MEK over to the Iraqi government, in 2009, it turns out CHEVRON was in negotiations with Iran over proposed development of an oil field. CHEVRON Board Director General James Jones was Obama National Security Advisor while once and future CHEVRON Board Director Condoleezza Rice was by this time back in the ‘private’ sector. This coincided with an Iraqi raid on the MEK and Prime Minister Maliki declaring the MEK would either have to repatriate to Iran or relocate to other countries. Real relocation effort to the present day, is nil.

Following intervening attacks, including one organized in Iraq by Iranian agents where Iraqi forces refused to intervene except to prevent MEK casualties transport to medical services, there was the April 8, 2011 attack by the Iraqi forces coinciding with the new CHEVRON strategic planning with Condoleezza Rice and General James Jones [also now back in the ‘private’ sector] initiating global policy on behalf of the USA.

The dirty ‘double game’ continues.

The MEK political leadership, in regards to the 2011 massacre at in Iraq, has been supported by American neo-con personalities that must be assessed as agents provocateur, Rudy Guiliani and Tom Ridge.

Determining whether this is naiveté on the part of MEK political leadership, simple blind arrogance or penetration of the MEK political apparatus by agents for CHEVRON is not the object of this analysis, but the fact turns up the Bush administration had subverted the MEK shift away from renouncing armed struggle and had been secretly training select MEK persons in special operations weapons and tactics (defined as terrorism when not employed by a nation’s elite military). This program and the MEK volunteers associated with it, had vanished from the USA secret training ground in America’s western desert by the time of the Obama administration, or so we are led to believe. But MEK ties to American neo-conservatism had by this time been solidified.

Richard Armitage, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, had stated:

“There were some in the administration who wanted to use the Mujahideen-e Khalq as a pressure point against Iran, and I can remember the national security adviser, Dr. [Condoleezza] Rice, being very specific about it, saying no, a terrorist group is a terrorist group.”

Following this bald-faced lie by Armitage, noting Condoleezza Rice was in power at the time the Americans were training the MEK commandos, I’d further point out few are more closely politically aligned with the 1980 American-Iran ‘Paris meeting’ electoral coup d’état than Rudy Guiliani (with unanswered questions relating to the coverup) who was subsequently appointed to number 3 at the Department of Justice, more on Guilianni a bit further, and MEK ally Tom Ridge is little more than a thug for CHEVRON.

And Armitage resorts to another out and out lie:

“Then we … engaged in a broad effort to try to resettle these people, but we were very unsuccessful in getting them settled in foreign lands….”

In fact, this is little more than lip service to that effect, if only to keep the MEK calm while being held for slaughter as a chit in dealing with the ayatollahs. In the same moment, the other side is played, training and arming select MEK commandos, likely taken over by the Israelis since the Bush era but it would be foolish to rule out Obama’s people have simply re-laundered this program. Meanwhile, the USA, which has resettled Guantanamo inmates around the world, cannot find a way out for the MEK rank and file and lets them rot in the Iraq sun with inadequate food, water, medical and shelter, unarmed while under sporadic attack.

This is how a pawn consisting of 3,000 disarmed dissident Iranians are held as a pawn in the geo-political game of chess Zbigniew Brzezinski has aptly called the ‘Grand Chessboard’ of Central Asia. Iraq can be pilloried in the press for the human rights abuses suffered by 3,000 hostages handed to Iran for extermination, expecting the ayatollahs would do exactly that -exterminate the MEK- if the MEK were delivered to the ayatollahs per Iran’s demands. But if the USA were to approve the MEK handed over in any deal with Iran overcoming the present hostile posture, it would go unnoticed by the western press. On the other hand, suddenly the MEK rank and file could be ‘liberated’ were the USA to find it convenient to reach an accord with MEK leadership for purpose of causing Iran another headache in turning loose a rearmed but clandestine talent pool of anti-ayatollah terror. It would appear the pilot program for this has already been developed and deployed.

Who are the MEK, The Peoples Mujahideen of Iran, Mujahideen-e Khalq, really? With roots in a liberal-left Islam with absolutely rock solid women’s emancipation within that context, the MEK is anathema to the ayatollahs. Those same roots also point to the MEK devoted principles of Islamic social justice. There is a ‘Mahdi’ (Shia Islam messiah) cult element in its leadership with associated narcissism that keeps the MEK rank and file in a trap of leadership making poor strategic decisions based in a fanatical hate.

The MEK leadership has allied itself with Bush era neo-conservatives, notably Rudy Guiliani. Everything you need to know about Rudy Guiliani since he served as number 3 at Department of Justice following the 1980 coup d’état (October Surprise), can be summed up in one event: His stout obstruction of any investigation into the building that died of fright on 9/11.

Of course it cannot hurt to point out here, the CHEVRON CEO from 1989 to 1999, Kenneth Derr, together with a who’s who of neo-con power brokers and professional spooks sat together on Guiliani’s presidential committee, including but not limited to: Dick ThornburghDick RiordanT Boone PickensTed Olsen [a Federalist Society founder] Michael Mukasey [a Bush lap dog at DoJ] Carl Icahn [who handed TEXACO gift wrapped to CHEVRON], Walter Hickel [a dead man, like padded voter rolls], Louis Freeh [the former FBI Director, one of many who refuse to come clean on COINTELPRO], to mention just a few notables.

Beyond all this, is a dilemma for both the USA criminals and the ayatollahs in Iran. The 1980 electoral coup d’état in any state records of Iran or any living witnesses in compromised circumstance, could lead to revelations in either or both nations, the ayatollahs having done extended business with America and Israel behind the backs of the Iranian people while lying about the relationship the entire time, and the USA mainstream discovering just how and when democracy had been hijacked by the corporate entities comprising today’s ‘deep state.’

Where there are no winners, is in the MEK rank and file.

On a two occasions I have interviewed MEK survivors in Berlin. In the Spring of 2012, I visited the MEK headquarters in Charlottenberg and spoke with several at length. Again, on 27 August 2013, I met and spoke with an MEK survivor. The raw decay of the human spirit is evidenced in these people played by geo-politics. With the MEK having realized their name is associated with many negatives, in a chance meeting, the young woman lied to me about any affiliation with MEK, as well denying the Charlottenberg headquarters was MEK.

Without calling her a liar, I gently (if that is a possible expression, more like a stiletto with love) brought her around to understand I knew the organization she was soliciting donations for was MEK, no matter they had changed the name and added a platform point of being supportive of all the political prisoners in Iran. I pointed out her organizations American allies were every bit as evil as the ayatollahs and this could not help the rank and file that suffer. I explained the expression ‘to shoot yourself in the foot.’ As she grasped I had a very good understanding of the organization and she’d been exposed as lying without my ever saying so, her hurt was deep, it showed in the eyes.

With parents and a sibling trapped in Iraq, probably many people would lie to get assistance. Will lying help get them out? Probably not. Yet I know from listening to the stories of MEK in my previous Charlottenberg encounter, the rank and file are, for the most part, social justice motivated, real human beings with emotions. They deeply grieve at the circumstance of their 3,000 parents, brothers, sisters and children trapped in circumstance beyond their control. However this is result the MEK leadership’s narcissism and consequently poor strategic alliances.

This all began with the CIA 60 years ago, and the MEK’s and Iranian people’s worst enemies (CIA) are mentors of the present day MEK commandos and the close friends of the MEK’s American allies represented in Rudy Guilianni.

And so it is, geo-politics corrupts the human spirit and kills the little people in a slow agony, mere pawns in a dirty game played out over decades by the power corrupt.

In the cynicism that makes up western democracies geopolitics, it would appear the MeK had since been removed from the USA’s list of terror organizations for the reason MeK had agreed [blackmailed, most likely] to serve as state sponsored assassins in Iran on behalf of Israel and Israel’s neo-conservative and neo-liberal American sponsors.

Spy

A book review by Ronald

The Company by Robert Littell is a well written novel and masterwork of revisionist history that comes across as though the events it describes were dictated by the right-wing element of the CIA. This is probably the case.

Allan Dulles is presented as a tireless patriot and gentleman at odds with his real life NAZI sympathies and reputation as a shameless liar who never hesitated to use the agency to further his personal interests, particularly when it came to mass murders protecting his large and intimate ties to United Fruit. The related overthrow of Arbenz in Guatemala is disposed of in a few short sentences, almost as though it were a joke not worth discussing.

The 1956 Hungarian uprising is milked to underscore a  faux concern for CIA officers disputing policy and effects nothing. The Bay of Pigs is written about as the CIA getting burned and having learned. But the real upshot is, the identical CIA shit is going on to this day in Syria.

The JFK hit is passed off on Castro, when this theory had long since lost credit (the book is copyrighted in 2002.) Since, we know JFK was murdered by a team that included former CIA Officer E. Howard Hunt (who confessed before he died) and likely included George Herbert Walker Bush.

The Vatican Bank’s involvement with money laundering is passed off as covering a program for the KGB (Russian spy service) and is tied to Russian spy master Starik arranging the murder of Pope John Paul I. This is certainly possible but unlikely with the Vatican antipathy to communism and competition with Russian Orthodoxy. More likely is CIA with its ties to mafia are the beneficiaries of any such hit. It has the aroma of a smear in a case where presently no one can really know. This may come out at some future date.

France Gary Powers failed U2 flight over the Soviet Union is credited to a Soviet shoot down when in fact former Pentagon liaison to the CIA, Colonel L Fletcher Prouty, had made a strong case for the U2 having been sabotaged by elements within the CIA opposed to any Eisenhower-Khrushchev peace initiative.

The author, Robert Littell, seems to believe there is not an Afghan in existence that doesn’t use dope. The purpose in this appears to be painting the anti-Soviet Islamic fighters as degenerates, a sort of ‘what the CIA had to work with in Afghanistan was less than ideal’ argument. He stereotypes Afghans as superstitious stoners. Littell is pretty clearly Islamophobic. A related stereotype is repeatedly pushing a mean spirited view of widespread Russian anti-Semitism. Likely connected to this, the author appears to be in love with MOSSAD.

Littell blames Reagan’s infirm mentality for policies that led to the CIA alliance with fundamentalist Islam in Afghanistan, which in actuality included Osama bin Laden, little different to the USA’s de facto alliance with Al Nusra (Al Qaida) in today’s Syria. But you know what? Reagan never ran operations in the field for the CIA, the CIA draws up the plans they run in the field, and get them signed off by the ‘higher’ authority, usually with deniability built in, to protect the politicians. This is touched on, in relation to Iran-Contra, emphasizing ‘touched’ and nothing more. The rationale is ‘if it’s good for the USA, no crime is too great’ and the author approaches the more recent decades controversies with an attitude of ‘we just won’t talk about the big crimes’ which applies to the overthrow of Salvadore Allende to book’s end.

It is admitted numerous CIA employees applauded the assassination of Bobby Kennedy and then reiterated Sirhan Sirhan was the assassin, which has been for a long time questionable. In fact present day psychologists’ exams of Sirhan suggest a Manchurian candidate type personality taking the fall for the Kennedy hit per the CIA’s known (and swept under cover) project MONARCH.

By now the novel has become crappy because of pace that leaves large gaps in the history of the CIA and associated crimes. There is a disingenuous story of Islamist radicals in Afghanistan kidnapping a CIA officer to blackmail the USA into providing the Islamist stinger missiles when in fact the USA was bending over backwards arming the Islamists in the anti-Soviet era Afghanistan. Later on the Stinger fiasco is passed off solely on Bill Casey manipulating a mentally infirm Reagan as though no one else had a say or influenced this during the period in factual history that saw Al Qaida created as a result of a CIA-Islamist alliance. We know in real life Al Qaida was willing to take the Americans up on training and equipment in pursuit of  a common enemy which began in Afghanistan, then Al Qaida turned on the Americans that had supported them is evident in post Soviet Afghanistan, subsequently Iraq and will come true again in Syria.

The KGB is implicated in allowing American Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to pass through to Islamists to hasten the wars end, convincing the Soviet military brass the KGB assessment Afghanistan is an un-winnable war is correct, sooner rather than later.  This is an improbable smear of the Russians, implicating their intelligence service in murder of their own soldiers by a novel appearing ghostwritten for the CIA. This seems more of a projection of what are actually American behaviors; a CIA representing corporate colonial interests, in real history routinely implicated in the deaths of American soldiers with policies favoring the likes of Chevron and Exxon-Mobile over any real interests of the American people.

A blatant propaganda move is having the novel’s Islamist character Ibrahim admire Iraq’s Saddam and Syria’s Assad, both leaders of Arab secular states and sworn enemies of Islamists movements. This ploy appears to be attempting propping up the known disinformation Saddam harbored Al Qaida and the novels date [2002] supports the idea. This is followed on with the Soviets having a plan to turn the fundamentalists on the USA, a far fetched smear considering the Islamists already considered the USA to be a total Satan with no extra motivation necessary at all, to go after the USA when any partnership of convenience is past. The book appears to follow a line proposing if you can smear the Russians to make it appear as though the CIA’s fucked-up results are result of someone else’s bad intentions, why pass up a chance? Littell is a real creep.

George Herbert Walker Bush, a prime criminal player in real CIA history throughout the 2nd half of this nearly 1,300 page ode to right wing fascism in the agency, stays out of its pages as though he were hiding. That’s no accident.

The Soviet master spy Starik, who runs his USA operations from Moscow, is smeared as a pedophile, in detail, over several portions of several chapters. One wonders if this is the only means of retribution the CIA can aim at its longtime nemesis. One gets a sense the book’s author has his own fascination with child pornography and related experience. The real irony of this last point is set in the retrospective of a historical hypocrisy; as we know from subsequent factual CIA ties to pedophilia with the banned Discovery Channel documentary ‘Conspiracy of Silence’ exposing one time CIA director George Herbert Walker Bush has long standing ties to pedophilia via the Reagan era and the ‘Boys Town’ child prostitution ring, followed on by Penn State’s pedophile scandal having ties to the George Herbert Walker Bush White House via his “One Thousand Points of Light.” Only ‘The Exiles’ (the news with jokes) has had the balls to write about these sort of hard facts; in real life a determined investigating prosecutor gone missing with his laptop turned up in a river (with hard drive removed.) All of this on top of the CIA project MONARCH torture program. So it is evident in the larger picture we are dealing with, ‘The Company’ is nothing close to an accurate portrayal of CIA in what is billed as a close to real CIA history set in fiction.

The book ends bashing Russia in every sense one could imagine, from physically filthy to rabidly anti-Semitic. A highly placed CIA official goes outside his chain of command to enlist MOSSAD into foiling the coup attempt against Gorbachev because President George Herbert Walker Bush (who shows up in a whitewash at the end) is politically hogtied and reduced to letter writing in matters of dealing with Russian internal affairs of state. What a joke. George Herbert Walker Bush would never pass up participating in a world class crime perpetrated by CIA. The by far more likely (real) story would be, Bush’s CIA encouraging the attempted putsch which indeed did have the ultimate effect of sending Gorbachev packing but saw him replaced by Yeltsen as opposed to the plotters. Why? Because under Yeltsen, Russia could be looted, weakened, and eventually absorbed into the western corporate monopoly of subservient nations, a criminal agenda George Herbert Walker Bush had served his entire career.

In factual historical retrospective, Putin saw exactly what was happening to Russia, stepped in and stopped the nonsense. However one might not like his style and method, Putin has done the Russian people a huge service by clawing Russia back from the oligarchs that indeed did loot Russia after Yeltsen had come to power. If liberal elements suffered as a consequence, is the fault of the west’s rush to take total advantage of a Russia struggling to emerge from the wreckage of the cold war and Putins’ justified distrust of the USA and NATO’s motives.

‘The Company’ is not a work of historical fiction as much as it is a book of lies promoting a carefully crafted, CIA friendly (likely CIA spoon fed)  revision of history, a cover-up of its most egregious crimes. But this is what the CIA most excels at, covering up CIA responsibility for chaos resulting from degenerate and incompetent personalities that have been corrupting the agency for decades. When all is said and done, The Company is a well written and compelling novel for those into believing cold war victory had been in every respect glorious, the end justifies any means, Russians are hypocritical, corrupt, anti-Semitic people by nature and the CIA should be beyond reproach in comparison to KGB. In fact CIA is one of the most criminal organizations ever spawned in the annals of history and has done immeasurable damage to America and the world.

Following this composition, I tossed the book into a Berlin street’s litter bin as a symbolic act. This is hereafter a book you can metaphorically find in the garbage.

A real world assessment by Ronald

The Arab Spring for Dummies, Syria Chemical Weapons edition

21 October 2015 update: a Turkish news outlet reports Turkey had been responsible for a false flag sarin gas attack blamed on Assad, according to two members of the Turkish parliament.

With the new alleged Chemical weapons attacks, RT (Russian TV) sensibly brings in British and American independent expert assessments but far more interesting to me is the fact of France 24 TV pointing the finger (the guy came across as a professional actor, scripted) at the Assad regime for refusing access to an onsite UN inspection team to the chemical attack site. Now, how is it the Assad regime is supposed to grant access to the site that happens to be in rebel controlled suburb of Damascus? Oh, and NO mention of the detail of rebel control of the chemical attack site by France 24, creating the clear impression solely Assad is blocking access. BBC parrots a similar line, BBC at least mentions in passing rebel control but far the greater emphasis is on Assad’s government supposedly denying access to the site they do not control. Then BBC airs a Syrian rebel ‘witness’ interview where the son of two chemical attack victims explains how he heard a bang, came downstairs to discover his parents convulsing and dying from the chemical attack but there is no asking him or questioning how it is he is apparently just fine, healthy and normal following what should have been his immediate and onsite exposure. WTF? I have military chemical weapons training, this is patent bullshit. I also have psychological operations training, and this is what I had just witnessed on BBC. In USA media the New York Times (in print) echoes the French line on Syria. Meanwhile the rebel political leadership in exile states the UN investigating team is welcome to the attack site but there is a complicating detail: they do not control the attack site either. The site is under control of independent Al Qaida aligned rebel brigades, the more effective opposition. But the disingenuous announcement by rebels who do not control the site gives the impression the ‘Syrian opposition’ is cooperating. Assad’s danger in allowing access is provision of mocked up evidence by the ‘opposition.’

On 27 August, the New York Times reports the UN investigating team is allowed to cross the combatant lines to investigate. In al-Nusra controlled area, the investigators come under sniper fire while escorted by Syrian security forces to the area. What is NOT mentioned is they had to leave the area after ½ hour. Real investigating is not going to be possible, and the investigators being allowed access results in the following media show; the New York Times employs a psychological operation where The UN team is reported to have initiated its investigation but never mentioning it had to be aborted in 30 minutes time. Interwoven in the same pages it is an expanded article reporting overwhelming and conclusive proof the Assad  regime has perpetrated the attack. This is classic psychological ploy leaving the reader with subliminal impression conflating the UN investigation with finding of Assad regime guilt. Reinforcing this mocked up conclusion are photo layouts describing the horror of the innocents experience. It will never be reported by the Times previous UN investigation in a separate attack had pointed to the Syrian opposition. And the rush is on to military intervention before any professional, impartial conclusions can be drawn by a forensics team only scratching the surface of what had actually happened.

On 28 August INTELNEWS.ORG reports Israel will supply evidence Assad’s brother commanded the Syrian army unit that perpetrated the chemical attack. That is really quite convenient. So, why aren’t they supplying this ‘evidence’ as an exhibit for the UN team in a proper investigation as opposed to giving it to the USA, Britain and France as justification to launch military operations at Syria? Apparently because the UN team has no mandate to determine responsibility, only whether chemicals had been used, also very convenient since a previous investigation had pointed to the rebels as the culprit. And with the Israelis coughing up the evidence, Germany, who is historically lukewarm when it comes to blatant NATO chicaneries, will roll over and play dead on the issue, these people think out every angle.

On 29 August British prime minister David Cameron, citing intelligence, admits to parliament there is no conclusive evidence Assad’s government perpetrated the attack. This is revealing of Obama’s political lies insisting the Americans are in possession of conclusive proof of Assad regime guilt, as the British and Americans share intelligence. Meanwhile the British parliament refuses to back any attack on Syria and Cameron’s hands are tied.

On 30 August, Obama has by now, with international support among his allies either crumbling or flat out rebelling, backed off to a point of ‘reiterating’ a ‘red line’ with a ‘wrist slap’ attack to ‘remind’ Assad he dare not exercise impunity and immediate regime change is off the table. So if indeed the chemical attack were a ruse by, or on behalf of, the so-called ‘rebels’, it has been somewhat successful were any attack to go forward and this is begging for more chemical attacks, benefiting Al Nusra (Al Qaida.) France continues to back Obama on attacking Syria.

Late developments on 30 August  (Central Europe Time) include NATO Secretary General ‘fog’ Rasmussen announcing (it would seem with much regret) NATO has dropped out; meaning a majority of NATO nations have blocked involvement and the USA-France neo-liberal alliance of Obama-Hollande are increasingly isolated, the question remains of whether France will be reduced to cheerleader to a USA solo-action.

No mention is made in mainstream western media of American government intelligence sources have leaked the news the secret report behind John Kerry’s ‘proof’ is by no means conclusive and American professionals’ assessment pointing to possible rebel responsibility for the chemical attack had been quashed and excluded from two reports, the secret report as well as John Kerry’s whitewash fed to the western press.

No mainstream western press mentions Israeli intelligence is responsible for the ‘electronic intercepts’ pinning the attack on Assad’s brother commanding the accused Syrian army units, but it comes out elsewhere this was ‘low level’ chatter and in no way can be traced back up the chain of command to Syrian army commanders, directly contradicting Kerry. Israel meanwhile claims it is completely uninvolved .. and so will be ‘defending itself’ and testing the USA commitment to defend Isarel were the fighting to escalate regionally. This raises a distinct possibility of a MOSSAD operation where Israeli agents staged a conversation for intercept. Why? Israeli prime minister ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu has been trying for years to get the USA’s backing for a war with Iran without result. With Iran committed to the defense of Syria, this may be a strategy the Israeli right wing has implemented.

By 31 August, Obama has been reduced to a snarling dog with its tail between legs, stating he has decided Syria “should” be attacked, avoiding the more certain “will” be attacked and has passed the buck to congress.  If congress says no, then he is off the hook for his big mouth drawing ‘red lines.’ The only question after is said and done would be if, and when, the next chemical attack blamed on Assad will be launched to rekindle world outrage in pursuit of covert agenda.

Question, would the Assad regime launch a chemical attack when they have the recent momentum rolling back the rebels, and a chemical attack by his regime is likely to bring in NATO air power on the side of the rebels? It makes no sense, as pointed out by an RT guest expert.

On the other hand, would Al Nusra (Al Qaida) stage a chemical attack if it would bring NATO fire power in supporting their forces? This is by far more likely, also pointed out by the RT guest expert. If there were a resulting attack by the USA on Assad, this would encourage more chemical incidents.

A third and the most likely option is, one or more unscrupulous intelligence agencies perpetrating a false flag attack to undermine Assad’s position. With the reaction coming from the USA and France, likely another attack could be staged.

Meanwhile, as NATO members USA, France and Britain’s media whip up a frenzy demanding Assad be punished and point to the very frenzy they are whipping up as international furor demanding Assad be punished with severe and rapid action. Russia calls for a through and impartial investigation but this item not mentioned in western press which rather points to Russia as stonewalling any action to punish a chemical weapons criminal Assad.

The Russian strategy appears to be simply present the facts; on account of the USA & NATO is so entirely corrupt in these matters, facts are all that should be necessary to counter the criminal policies of the west in the public forum. The USA and NATO strategy is to pound the public with lies in the belief if you misstate the facts often enough, misstated facts will become the public reality.

The Logical Conclusion:

Western media is under control of professional intelligence agency information operations or their corporate equals, milking anti-Assad propaganda generated by a false flag attack blaming Assad for an act perpetrated from territory controlled by Al Nusra (Al Qaida.) The practical result is, NATO members USA, Britain and France are allied with Al Nusra (Al Qaida.) The USA also has played in this alliance with opening the door to, and then looking the other way as Arab allies (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait) have shoveled weapons to Al Nusra (Al Qaida.) Meanwhile MOSSAD and CIA paramilitary are training Syrian Rebel commandos in elite special operations skills in the border area with Jordan and NATO’s Turkey is onboard as a CIA staging route for logistical support importing weapons for the rebels for the past two years at minimum. Jordan plays in this role as well.

The neo-liberal/neo-conservative alliance, Obama, Cameron, Hollande, is knocking off Syria as a stepping stone to knocking off Iran and that is Israel’s short term obsession in the affair. A larger, joint neo-liberal/neo-conservative goal is isolating and encircling Russia who does not play to the advantage of western corporate board interests. The marionettes pulling the strings? Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations and a whole plethora of related, corporate think-tanks propped up with $$ from corporate boards with names across the spectrum of the alphabet; Chevron, Monsanto, Dow Chemical, Du Pont, Martin-Marietta, Lockheed, British Petroleum, Exxon-Mobile, Royal Dutch Shell, Halliburton, Raytheon, General Dynamics, and the list could go on for page after page.

The Illogical Conclusion:

Somehow these people believe they can play a colonial game that has gone on for centuries as though the world had not come into a nuclear age. Certain western democracies’ intelligence agencies stand by and/or participate in murder innocents by chemical attack without a qualm and/or allow it to be perpetrated by Al Qaida (and if necessary blamed on Al Qaida, a fallback position) in pursuit of corporate pecuniary interests. In the name of ‘human rights’ and ‘democracy’ 100,000 and more Syrians have been killed by fanning the flames of sectarian violence and pouring weapons into a deliberately inflamed inter-communal circumstance of violence and somehow this is supposedly a necessary thing for our world, our way of life and the pursuit of civilization.

The Consequence

The neo-conservative vision of Armageddon comes out the winner if this is allowed to go on. The Sunni ‘Awakening Councils’ created and trained in Iraq by David Patraeus that morphed into Al Qaida brigades and are presently represented in Al Nusra, will almost certainly prevail in Syria, setting off a second civil war there that absolutely will require intervention. Al Nusra veterans are returning to Iraq and intensifying the civil war there; set up by none other than David Patraeus, as his Christian Al Qaida “Officers Christian Fellowship” controlling the Pentagon pits their religious vision of an end times world conflagration set in the Middle East against a radicalized Shia Islam’s ayatollahs vision of end times world conflagration set in the middle east, each with a returning messiah. It doesn’t get much more stupid than this folks. All on account of greed, narcissism, resultant fanaticism and its associated lust for power. Meanwhile, Germany, the one NATO country that has seen similar sort of degenerate madness control its past, has leadership more concerned with selling tanks to Indonesia than making public any honest intelligence that should stop this madness in its tracks. Merkel is exceedingly shallow, myopic, cowardly and narcissistic, in short everything the world does NOT need in a leader (which, more or less, describes German politicians as a class.)

In this circumstance, Russia is not going to bite on Obama’s push for a drastic reduction in nuclear weapons on account of when Medvedev was president, Medvedev offered civil compromises based in solid principles of international law to NATO & the USA, and NATO & the USA gave him the middle finger; stabbed Medvedev in the back on Libya, the USA’s international Chamber of Commerce has been hijacking the former Soviet republics economies and the likes of Exxon-Mobile personalities, Kissinger and Cheney, sit on the boards of directors. On top of this, you had CIA manipulating Russian ‘human rights’ and ‘democracy’ organizations, resulting in Putin’s clampdown on liberalizing elements in Russia. Medvedev was the good cop. Now you’ve got Putin with all of the backbone needed to be the bad cop, and it is our western democracies own goddamn fault, we’re fucked so long as our leaders continue this direction, many millions will die and that’s the end of today’s story.

Popping in from ‘the cold’ just long enough to post this up and check on a bit of business, be patient with me friends, I expect to be back regularly in September but meanwhile I’ve got a tiger by the tail… and things to attend to-

So, NSA sweeps up telephone conversations in Germany, and does what with them? Shares them with other intelligence agencies. Not only CIA, MI6 and the like, but also it would seem MOSSAD. How would I know this? Six years on the run, previous experience in special operations intelligence and closely related skills working as an anti-corruption investigator are a good start. Then, the gods sent us Edward Snowden. But lets go back to six years exile and on the run in Europe, I’ve seen a lot while working out my survival, with two very dead intelligence operatives in my wake, it doesn’t get much more up close and personal. One blew his cover with my gracious assistance to his manipulated accomplices, and they took him out, my story ‘Death of a MOSSAD Agent’ (Fall of 2007) and that Winter, another would be assassin self-injected with the poison needle intended for myself, I’d point blank shifted his attention onto himself without disturbing his intention and he self injected without realizing what was happening until too late. It was amazing to see him freak out, pulling his hand out of his pocket while shaking it in a panic, run in what amounted to an initial panicked circle, which quickly deteriorated into a Frankenstein lurch attempting to return to wherever it was his operation was based out of, I don’t think he made it very far. Can’t call German emergency and say you’ve self injected while on a murder mission very easily, now, can you?

Summer of 2008, my knit cap catches a poison pellet intact, I keep onto it as a trophy in a meds bottle, show it off on skype to close acquaintances over the following months as though I’d never give it up but actually had it sent in via third party to authorities for analysis (3rd party gets back in contact with ‘I don’t want to know you anymore’) .. same period I test skype by confiding to a trusted friend the technique I expect might work to take me out and sure enough it was the next technique tried (I was ready for it)… and so it is skype is later on revealed to be a National Security Agency asset, but there is actually no surprise at all here. The actual surprise was dufus CIA Officer Sabrina DeSousa ‘coming out’ as CIA in a dispute with her own agency over diplomatic immunity to cover her crimes she’d been convicted of in Italy… getting her name and photo in the New York Times where I recognized her as one of the would be killers I’d encountered in Wiesbaden, I mean come on CIA, can’t you get brighter people on the job?

Three missed silenced bullets later (one in Germany, two in Spain), ‘they’ had been burned badly enough times to pull back and attempt the long shot but I’m a pretty difficult target or more likely they are lousy or unlucky snipers, and it begins to get ever more up close and personal again, apparently more out of desperation than any sense of prudence.

I surprised (February 2010) ‘legendary’ CIA cowboy Gary Berntsen (moved on to private contracting) while under surveillance video in circumstance to my advantage and pissing his pants, he had to flee. I was kind enough to give him about six hours head start before I’d posted up a tip the Spanish authorities would need to authenticate Berntsen was checking his hit team into a hotel in San Feliu de Guixols using a false passport. Berntsen’s five years old look of his mom caught him with hand in her purse to steal money for candy (his true personality) as I literally rubbed elbows with him at the reception desk, and body guard’s dropped open jaw (sheer amazement) when I’d manifested from nowhere at precisely the right/wrong-me/them moment, well, that still brings a smile to my face (they are such retards.) By now I understood organizations like CIA and MOSSAD could only dream of someone with my skills. These organizations are now days a lot of bluff, luck and legend, sort of like Gerry Spence who’d pooped his pants and ran from my case as though he was being chased by a T-Rex in his dreams (yeah Gerry, give me permission to release our private email exchange, you fucking coward)… except I seem to have the intelligence agencies cornered, they cannot altogether “RUN AWAY!!” (quoting Gerry Spence nee Monty Python’s King Arthur) as much as they’d almost certainly prefer to… so the cowards continue to attempt sleight-of-hand murder of myself and no doubt somehow construe this to be brave (certainly a medal and piles of cash to anyone that might succeed.)

^ CIA ‘legend’ Berntsen

Then there is ‘Paul’, American expatriate in Berlin who is too juvenile and consequently too stupid to realize he’d given himself up working for the ‘man’ because he DRINKS copious amounts of alcohol to fend off his dying conscience .. he’d sent me into a death trap (late Summer 2010) that failed on account of the retarded layer upon layer of deniability (lies) built into these operations. So Paul sent me to these moron Romanians that were supposed to set me up with meeting some “Israeli artists” (meeting Israeli artists was not my idea or intent for damn certain) failed because she was too cute (not in the pretty sense, so raising suspicions), but most brilliantly, he had been blackmailed into his role, could not live with it, drank himself stupid while otherwise alone but for my presence and confessed all he knew to me, I mean what planet do these intelligence agencies live on with the people they utilize? And Plan B with the ‘Italian’ to positively identify me for the Israeli with the half full soda bottle with liquid that didn’t move (disguised spring loaded poison pellet delivery device), was nothing more than a game for me, and how long did their poor assed spotter sit on the bench at JohannesThaler Chaucee mall (U-Bahn side), my god he looked miserably dying of boredom, I have to laugh at that too. I’d been out of that area for weeks and only put in the occasional ATM appearance to keep the game strung out.

Message for Paul, the people you work with absolutely suck, why don’t you get a real life? Pay attention to your family in a positive sense? Stop drinking? Quit being a moron? Work an honorable career to actually deserve your beautiful wife? Naw, you’re too juvenile to make any intelligent decisions. So, do your family a favor and drink yourself to death sooner rather than later, it be the right thing to do-

Now, when a person such as myself can blow the cover of one of the CIA’s most accomplished assassins (how’s life on the ‘outside’ these days Vince?) who’d been delegated by the USA’s ‘Deep State’ to murder certain old line Republicans with ‘heart attacks’, to remove any troublesome ethics bound personalities from the neo-conservative agenda, and I’d done exactly that, what do you tell MOSSAD when asking them to do you a quid pro quo favor? Well, probably you don’t tell them the guy you’re putting them after has nullified or reversed every operation you’d ever mounted against him over a period now exceeding twenty years… but when one of Bibi’s morons gets himself killed coming after you (afore mentioned story ‘Death of a MOSSAD Agent’), MOSSAD has this incredibly self-destructive policy of ANY/EVERY loss must be avenged. So the MOSSAD had, courtesy of their sometimes bosom buddy CIA, taken on yours truly, perhaps an authentic devil in the most ancient sense, older than, and having nothing to do with the Judeo-Christian religions of Satan, in some cosmic sense of suicide.

Going to this immediate preceding point, even if you were able to find grandmasters like my teachers Floyd and Pat, you’d be over thirty years behind playing catch-up to my level of skill on account of the technique they imparted. And if this were to go on for another ten years, you’d still be over thirty years behind playing catch-up because their technique’s learning curve never peaks or tops out.

Meanwhile, it just so happened while living in Charlottenberg during July 2011, I had my 1st experience with intelligence agencies using proselytizing evangelicals as cover for an assassin team. I puzzled a bit over whether “Jews for Jesus” were a MOSSAD or joint MOSSAD/CIA venture but by now I’ve settled on MOSSAD. It was a Wayne Madsen article had pointed out the CIA had used missionaries in the past, in Latin America particularly, but Jews for Jesus are an altogether different animal. In Berlin, no one is going to poke their nose into the business of any Jew, it is a perfect (the MOSSAD thinks) cover.

But Jews for Jesus is not really Jewish people per se. The fine print under “Jews for Jesus” reads: “and others.” You talk to them and discover one grandparent is/was a Jew, they are married to a non-practicing Jew, or are just a ‘born again’ convert by the organization, with no other Jewish connection. But that Star of David on their shirts is like a diplomatic passport in Germany, no one dares mess with that.

So how does this fit in with MOSSAD? It is a double blind deniability built into operations, evangelical Christians posing as Jews. Four out of five or perhaps nine out of  ten of these so-called “Jews for Jesus” are deceived and unsuspecting evangelicals simply trying to convince people to be ‘saved.’ They are flown in from around the world in shifts volunteering time as missionaries and are conveniently on hand to locate to any area where a hit operation is meant to take place. The target is supposed to get used to seeing them in his/her area and this is supposed to produce a complacency surrounding the missionaries while your habits are studied, which U-Bahn (underground) you take and most regular times. By the time any target is used to and ignoring “Jews for Jesus”, with routines established, the unsuspecting proselytizing members are replaced with kill teams from MOSSAD wearing ‘Jews for Jesus” shirts and the target (the theory must go) will not notice he/she has been marked going into the subway where a most ‘unchristian’ poison needle is a heart-attack inducing prick in the crowd that cannot be easily picked out of  security video and so it is one more joins the people who drop dead of natural causes everyday, it’s that simple. Except when it is not that simple, as when the target is onto what is going on, because the intelligence agency is stupid.

When Americans flown in from the Midwest Bible Belt have been replaced by Israelis whose general demeanor, facial expression and body language is top to bottom different from the duped evangelicals (who should not, after-all, be surprised that actual Jews would be involved with their organization), it is not going to be missed by someone with my level of training. So, in Charlottenberg, I noticed it was a couple of Israelis studying my initial pattern behaviors, while it was Americans covered the larger public area I frequented, for a few days, and then it was Israelis had staked out my U-Bahn entry. I entered, but instead of going down a 2nd level and taking the train, I walked out another entrance, as though I was using the U-Bahn station as a method to cross an intersection without having to deal with above ground traffic lights and ‘walk’ signals, while watching for any tail I might pick up and sure enough… a tall Israeli in civilian clothes (no ‘Jews for Jesus’ shirt) reversed direction and emerged behind me but I was ready for this, and had positioned myself with back to wall at an outdoor café table, sandwiched between people also facing him with backs to wall and he could not hit me with his needle without giving himself away. Totally the wrong crowded scene, it was my advantage, not his. He stupidly studied my circumstance for a minute, hesitating, starting to leave, stopping to study again, wondering what to do while obviously completely out of sorts, gave up and left as I’d been looking steadily and directly at him.

Just the other day (going on two years later) I had stated to a friend on the phone the specific area I was temporarily staying in Berlin, and now, just like magic, Jews for Jesus have my public transportation entrances staked out… some people never learn. So, to the NSA and ‘friends’ they hand off their information to, here it is, spelled out for you: the other intelligence agencies and German police read here too, all now available to the general public-

The ‘Deep State’ works like this folks; corporate boards and associated organized crime around the world, especially intelligence agencies, all trade information. You’ve seen, and congressmen have stated this, we are all lied to about Prism, XkeyScore and all the rest that had been kept secret in the name of ‘National Security.’

So what is ‘national security’? If you buy the fear-mongering lies of Obama and the likes of Diane Feinstein and John Boehner (pronounced ‘boner’), national security secrets supposedly protect you from terror.

But if you are CHEVRON Corporation, and you sent Condoleezza Rice direct from CHEVRON board of directors to Bush National Security Advisor and put your fingerprints all over Iraq, an invasion that had nothing to do with Saddam’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction and had nothing to do with Saddam’s non-existent relationship with Al Qaida, and it had everything to do with CHEVRON playing into the post Saddam Iraq oil business, and the Israelis, it so happens, did not like Saddam. It’s all a criminal ‘you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours’ quid pro quo.

How many American soldiers did CHEVRON murder in attempt to get access to Iraqi oil? Not too different to MOSSAD using unsuspecting evangelicals to cover the murders of their time to time buddy CHEVRON’s enemies… these people have no sense of shame.

This, folks, is your behind closed doors ‘Nation Security’ .. the National Security Agency giving up information to pursue the lie that kills for the bottom line that is stock value, profits & related ‘geo-politics’ and all/any rights of citizens be damned in the process… and there you have it-

The Arab Spring for Dummies

*

Stooge TV

Al-Jazeera TV had been the bedrock of trusted news for over a decade (since its founding) in the Arab world, until its independence touched too close to home, i.e. the Arab ‘Gulf States.’ At the point of honest reporting on Qatar’s involvement in the overthrow of Gaddafi, Qatar’s rulers asserted control over Al-Jazeera and the honeymoon with truth was over.

There is a snippet article at Wikipedia ‘Qatar-United States relations’ of which this quote is a major part:

“Qatar and the United States coordinate closely on Middle Eastern regional diplomatic initiatives”

I would point out the phrase ‘diplomatic initiatives’ in the western democracies definition includes political ‘arm twisting’ (Blackmail), threats of violence, following up with violence, out and out lies (Propaganda) and of course, the employ of information operations to make oneself out an angel and your target the devil. In this brief ‘The Arab Spring for Dummies’ (Syria edition) I set out my case for honest reporting on dishonest behaviors, or better said, expose the rank criminality of our political leaders in a state of ‘democracy’ where political lies are protected free speech.

In this interview from over a year ago, it is clear that Qatar would not have armed the so called ‘rebels’ (Blackwater trained mercenaries) without a green light from the USA.

In this Business Insider article, the tepid reporting of the neo-liberal New York Times is clarified by a writer obviously familiar with what has actually been going on, Qatar and Saudi Arabia had armed Al Qaida to the teeth with USA approval (aforementioned green light) with the UBER-RETARDED philosophy ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’

Meanwhile, Syria’s Assad has recovered the initiative and the USA, having started and now faced with supporting a losing endeavor, promises all hell will break loose and American NATO franchise muppets Britain and France strong-arm open the door to pouring weapons into the conflict (in vast amounts on top of vast amounts poured in already) and via Stooge TV the western democracies scream bloody murder at Russia for matching them tit-for-tat, claiming it threatens Israel, who has bombed Syria three times already in the present conflict, and Netanyahu, who pulls the trigger as easily as a child with a toy gun, is willing to bomb some more (the USA & ‘allies’ relationship to Netanyahu appears to be that of Eric Cartman’s mom’s parenting model; Netanyahu throws a tantrum and gets what he wants)

Finally, a Stooge TV personality, a Sunni cleric (must be sort of like a Rick Warren evangelical show) keeps the USA’s promise of all hell breaking loose by calling out to his 60,000,000 (sixty million) potential viewers to pile on Syria (and don’t worry about bringing along weapons, we’ve got plenty in the pipeline) inviting a regional sectarian war (already spilling over into Lebanon and Iraq)

Now, what do you suppose all of this might have to do with virulent Islam hater (and Blackwater founder) Erik Prince setting up a private army in Abu Dhabi? Sort of like ‘Christian Taliban’ General Patraeus setting up sectarian civil war in Iraq by training and arming Shia death squads and then training and arming Sunni ‘Awakening Councils’ that were supposed to counter Al Qaida (but that was ultimately a fairy tale)

The outcome? Let’s try calling it “It’s amazing what Uncle Sam can do in the process of biting himself in the balls” (also known as we are all going to pay for this insanity)

God’s Chosen is [worse than] a Dumb Idea

Dov Weisglass: “The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger”

The Weisglass quote is in reference to the Gaza ‘blockade’ where only the minimal survival sustenance has been allowed into Gaza as a matter of official policy for years. When you read in the news that Israel has opened a crossing into Gaza to allow food and medicines across, it is subject to the statement of Dov Weisglass. The reported openings are, in actuality, a means of generating a positive propaganda spin from what is in actuality enforcing the Palestinians living in what amounts to a “Ghetto.”

The word “Ghetto” in relation to Jewish history is not a kind reference. It recalls the Ashkenazi experience at the hands of the NAZIs. It also recalls the known malignant social phenomena “Inter-generational Violence”, where one generation passes on behaviors to the next generation.

I had once been censored at “The Guardian” public forum (discussion of articles) for daring to point out the “Price Tag” vandalism by the (Christian Zionist funded) fundamentalist Israeli settlers in the West Bank resembled “Krystallnacht” insofar (I was clear in this) as the social phenomena of “Inter-generational Violence” passes a malignant behavior on to a new generation. This is not only a family phenomena but a community phenomena. No different to the behaviors of the NAZIs impacted the behaviors of some Ashkenazi, I propose those Ashkenai are impacting the behaviors of many Palestinians in a spiral of inter-generational violence.

It is in this same context of “Inter-generational Violence”, I will point out Gaza resembles a “Ghetto.” The Palestinian young people presently growing up in Gaza will see themselves as “Freedom Fighters” little differently to those Jews who lived in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1944. So a new cycle of violence begins with a new generation.

Insofar as money attending the power-corrupt insures this cycle only continues, the brilliant people at “J Street” (a Jewish organization) recently polled the American Jewish community and came up with a startling finding: 72% of American Jews support a Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders of Israel .. including East Jerusalem, but this fact is drowned out by the money of AIPAC. Who supports AIPAC? American neo-liberals and the right-wing minority Jews, politically wedded to a by far, far larger base of American neo-conservative right-wing Christians.

In essence, it is right-wing Christians producing the money and political drive supporting the Israeli policies in both the West Bank and Gaza. How it is politicians on the center-left (a few sane conservatives are at least trying) fail to shake off the boogey-man of AIPAC in the name of sanity and stand up to infantile, fascist killers like Bibi Netanyahu, is beyond the pale of reason. It is cowardice.

Netanyahu belongs to the LIKUD party which has been in governance (often in coalition with even more extreme right parties) since 2009. An IDF Special Forces veteran, Netanyahu has been known to have ordered illegal international political assassinations (murders), most famously the failed 1997 attempt on HAMAS leader Khalid Mashal. Under Netanyahu, the West Bank settlers ‘price tag’ criminality not only goes on largely ‘undetected’ (and unpunished) by one of the best governments in the world at intelligence, his political philosophy underwrites annexation of all Palestinian lands to the bank of the Jordan River. You see this play out (with lip service to peace) via the ongoing annexation by process of West Bank ‘settlement creep.’ In effect, Netanyahu and LIKUD are every bit as dedicated to the destruction of a Palestinian state as media promotes the idea HAMAS is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. This reality pointing to certain wider regional war and eventual world war, underlies the present circumstance. Meanwhile, honest narrative of the historic reality are buried in the rhetoric:

“For refugees, camps were shelters for the reconstruction of personal and social life, but were also seen as sites of great political significance, the material testimony of what was destroyed and ‘all that remains’ of more than four hundred cities, towns and villages forcefully cleansed throughout Palestine in the Nakba of 1947-9. This is the reason refugees sometimes refer to the destruction of camps as ‘the destruction of destruction.’ The camp is not a home, it is a temporary arrangement, and its destruction is but the last iteration in an ongoing process of destruction.

“This rhetoric of double negation – the negation of negation – tallies well with what Saree Makdisi, talking about the Israeli refusal to acknowledge the Nakba, has termed ‘the denial of denial’, which is, he says, ‘a form of foreclosure that produces the inability – the absolutely honest, sincere incapacity – to acknowledge that denial and erasure have themselves been erased in turn and purged from consciousness.’ What has been denied is continuously repeated: Israel keeps on inflicting destruction on refugees and keeps on denying that a wrong has been done” –Eyal Weizman: ‘The Least Of All Possible Evils’ (Humanitarian Violence From Arendt To Gaza)

It should be recalled in context of the Eyal Wiezamn quote, it was LIKUD’s first Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, built and detonated the first car bomb ever used in an indiscriminate act of terror in what is now Israel. Prior to the events acts of this nature had set in motion, 80,000 of the Arab world’s nearly one million Sephardic Jews lived in Cairo alone, largely in peace with their culturally near identical Muslim neighbors, a legacy of over 1,000 years tolerance. That tolerance had been destroyed and the blame can be fairly apportioned in a major share to the policies of the Ashkenazi victims of inter-generational violence, now in turn perpetrated against any perceived existential threat; Arab nationalism and Iran, even Americans and/or American Jews who stand up to AIPAC, but most particularly focused on the Palestinian people.

So long as there is a Palestinian identity tied to the West Bank, it stands in the way of a vision both Christian and Jewish right-wing ideologues hold for a ‘Greater’ Israel. Here it does well to mention Israel is not a party to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and endures no inspection regime relevant to its estimated arsenal of up to 400 nuclear weapons, even as Iran is pressured under the treaty Israel rejects. The entire world outside of those western democracies pushing policy in the face of middle east nations, see this hypocrisy and this strengthens the hand of radical ayatollahs.

The equation is World Peace versus LIKUD and the American religious right, in a spiral of escalating inter-generational violence the western democracies’ political leadership is too cowardly to honestly address. In fact so long as AIPAC enables LIKUD to move for a ‘Greater’ Israel to the bank of the Jordan River, any lip service to peace based on a Palestinian state is a calculated lie.

What is clear is, the West Bank settlement policy is a determined effort to destroy any Palestinian identity with ties to the land. In regards to Gaza, the only possible purpose (outside irrational cruelty) of ongoing blockade’s denial of sufficient non-military necessities has been to deprive that population of any opportunity at a reasonable international commerce and attending standard of living, is to drive it out in despair. But it’s not working. And even if it did, Israelis will have (with the backing of the western democracies who support the Israeli policies with arms and money, lip service to peace notwithstanding) created a negative mirror image of their own history.

Meanwhile, moderate Ashkenazi, secular Jews, humanist Jews, Sephardic Jews, Ethiopian Jews, Iranian Jews, sane Jews, all pay for the policies, with the anti-Semitism generated by the behaviors of personalities like Netanyahu and AIPAC ‘friends’, not only the Arabs suffer.

The insanity of it all is expressed in AIPAC which only exists in the state of power it does today because of extreme Christian support, Christian support that is firmly grounded in a belief they are the “New Jews” who will inherit Jerusalem when Israel has finally self-destructed.

In this case, the Israeli religious right should pay closer attention to their ally the American religious right and their ‘the Jews murdered Jesus’ conviction. Convinced they are “Covered in the blood” of Jesus [the idea Jesus had been murdered by the Jews] as they make money hand over fist covering the planet in blood with war profiteering, all the while in swoon over misogynist-anti-Semitic hate monger Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ”, these allies of Netanyahu are certainly no friends of the Jewish people. This is the pogrom inspiration of a church made myth concerning a man they love to pretend is a murdered ‘God’ incarnate they engage in cannibalizing every ‘Sabbath’ with a ‘Communion’ of eating Jesus flesh and drinking Jesus blood. Y’know, if people really knew how to think for themselves, there would be no such necrotic fantasies and resultant criminal civilization .. just a thought, but meanwhile:

The paranoid Jewish Zionists embrace these rabid anti-Semitic Christian Zionists who fully intend the Jewish Zionists will become extinct once they’ve finished the dirty work of retaking the West Bank for the Christian Zionists necrotic vision on a road to Armageddon, meanwhile the Jewish Zionists label any non-Jewish anti-Zionist as anti-Semitic, when in fact most of the non-Jewish anti-Zionists are the bitter foes of the rabid anti-Semitic Christian Zionists momentarily embraced by the Jewish Zionists.

Now, in the mix of all of this, the anti-Zionist Jewish personalities are in an impossible state of being forced to play a game of ‘shut the fuck up’ or get blasted by all Zionists, Jewish and Christian, while the non-Jewish anti-Zionist is attacked by the paranoid Ashkenazi, who became paranoid and Zionist, on account of the pogroms of anti-Semitic Christian Zionists. These people bite the hand of people who’re actually doing them a favor by taking on the rabidly anti-Semitic Christian Zionists, personalities  who intend as soon as the partnership of convenience is over, all those clinging to Judaism will be tossed into a lake of what will almost certainly amount to man-made nuclear fire.

Meanwhile, the Sephardic Jews who’d lived for nearly one and a half thousand years in peace and tranquility in the world of Islam (excepting that period when they’d fought on the side of the Muslims during the Crusades) have become an extinct species in the Arab countries, not in the least because of both Jewish and Christian Zionism via policy and settlement in the West Bank and the ‘ghetto’ called Gaza, and the incredibly nasty treatment of the Arabs there. Israeli Zionists have enacted this social injustice, enabled by American Zionists, including countless conservative Christians who label all Jews (except ‘Jews for Jesus’) “Christ Killers”, while bankrolling these policies abusing the Palestinians. All this came about because of Jewish Zionist paranoia of living in countries with a majority Christian Zionists and history of pogroms, yet are (for reasons of the social psychology phenomena of inter-generational violence) behaving towards the Arabs like the Christian Zionists had treated them. This in turn set up the present cycle of anti-Palestinian pogroms, based on behaviors Jews learned from Christians, now on a scale of nukes & nations.

It only gets more ridiculous:

The Sephardic Jews who’d relocated to Israel as a result of fallout in the Arab world  from Zionist policies are absolutely 2nd class citizens- pointing to the anti-Semitic tendencies of the conservative Ashkenazi Jews, a race based oxymoron of Jewish anti-Semitism. This is obviously as clear as it is ludicrous and self destructive, when a Jewish person in Israel cannot be equal, because this Jew has the appearance, language and customs of an Arab.

I think a moral to this story could be: Any Zionism that is literal Zionism (unlike the benign Zionism of Bob Marley) is a loser. Perhaps this could be the idea behind the UN Resolution equating Zionism with Racism?

Inter-generational hate and violence is a known and understood phenomena of social psychology. Many people have not risen above this malevolent infection of the psyche that is imbued in a very literal sense of the Torah or Pentateuch: ‘the child inherits the sin of the father’
 (or in the case of certain Ashkenazi, the sins of a xenophobic & nationalist stepfather)

In the larger picture of nations, relating to this inter-generational violence, should it not be the responsibility of several national leaders to stand up and state to the Israelis, whether the leaders of Russia, Germany or Spain, examples given, ‘do not treat the Palestinian as our Christian has treated the Jew.’

If only because it is the responsibility of leadership to demonstrate responsible attitudes in relation to the acts of nations. And crucial, is that nation which had transgressed most egregiously in historic times should demonstrate this courage to confront the worst of these infantile and irrational behaviors, if only to remind the USA, not only Israel, do not dare to go down this road, do not dare to become the NAZIs.

In the end, whether Jewish or Christian ‘New Jew’, “God’s Chosen” is worse than a dumb idea, the idea that will get everyone killed if this insanity goes on much longer-

Bibi
