^ goes around, comes around…

Another installment on why this blog has a specific category for ‘morons.’ In short, following on week one’s notes, it turns out the nominal hedge-fund ‘Blackstone’ will be the Saudi partner in Trump’s USA infrastructure development initiative. Who is Blackstone?

Blackstone, among other things, profiles as an umbrella for laundering intelligence agencies black-ops; associated with two notable ‘principals’, the supposedly ‘former’ spooks  (once CIA, always CIA), Frank Carlucci and Richard Armitage.

Frank_Carlucci_official_portrait

Frank ‘the capo’ Carlucci

Carlucci, the Princeton roommate of Donald Rumsfeld, was a CIA officer under cover as the US Embassy’s Second Secretary in Congo when Patrice Lumumba was assassinated:

“[CIA Station Chief] Devlin and Carlucci worked together “on Congolese efforts to get rid of Lumumba.” De Witte further commented: “We know that Devlin and other US personnel in the capital were informed about the transfer of Lumumba to the Kasai or Katanga… Everybody knew that there were waiting some subcontractors to do the dirty job, and, given the rank and involvement of Carlucci in Lumumba-related activities from the US embassy, we may assume (although it’s not proven) that Carlucci knew of what equaled a death sentence for Lumumba””

Beyond this immediate preceding, what does it say to you about Carlucci’s work in Congo when CIA officer John Stockwell states the CIA had custody of Lumumba’s body immediately following his assassination? Carlucci went on to have his fingers in numerous CIA related murderous geopolitical pies as he rose through the hierarchy to become Ronald  Reagan’s Secretary of Defense, left government  due to Iran-Contra and immediately joined Blackstone (Carlucci profiles throughout his career as a close CIA colleague of George H.W. Bush who coordinated ‘The Enterprise‘ or the Coe cult‘s government penetration project.)

Richard ‘the maggot’ Armitage

Armitage is just as smelly or worse. Fingered as a CIA international narcotics trafficker from the source…

Mister Richard Armitage, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, is one of those USG officials implicated by [longtime warlord/opium producer/CIA ally] Khun Sa”

…complicit in the annual export of 900 or more tons of heroin precursor (opium) from the ‘Golden Triangle’ of which both Harry Reid and George H.W. Bush were informed, of course nothing is done, no one (ever) goes to jail. They just go on to lucrative (CIA sponsored) private careers.

Armitage, in short, from his early days as a CIA officer, went on to become the party responsible for issuing 15 (all to Saudis) of the 19 alleged 9/11 hijackers USA entry visas according to former Department of State officer Michael Springmann. Previous to this, Armitage had served a stint with the CIA-Special Forces joint venture Phoenix Program, which ties to Daniel Ellsberg’s narcotics trafficking associates in Vietnam, notably the CIA’s Ted Shackley, in charge of the opium producing Golden Triangle region or ‘off record’ war exterior to the Vietnam ‘official’ war zone, and Ellsberg’s boss Edward Lansdale, mastermind of Phoenix. Phoenix was an assassination program responsible for the murders of up to 50,000 non-combatants. Shackley would go on to become the CIA Chief of Station in Saigon.

Where this background ties together for Armitage & Carlucci (as well as G.H.W. Bush & Bill Clinton in CIA black budget program importing narcotics at Mena, Arkansas) is in the Iran-Contra narcotics trafficking where Iran-Contra’s General Richard Secord, who profiles as a career CIA officer under military cover, had been running Khun Sa’s opium out of the golden triangle during the USA’s Indochina wars (Ted Shackley era.)

It was rogue Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben Menache best blew the whistle (eye-witness) on international narcotics trafficking integrated to the Iran Contra business, not only (the murdered) Gary Webb (Superman could shoot himself in the head TWICE, ordinary mortals don’t.)

The preceding thumbnail assessments of people who have no qualms murdering en mass, whether directly or indirectly, point to a remarkably dangerous prognosis; Jared Kushner leveraging a Blackstone-Saudi deal for reconstruction of the USA’s infrastructure points to MOSSAD-Saudi-Enterprise (Coe cult) preparing a reprise of 9/11. When the moron Trump is ‘safely’ out of the picture, look for the upcoming Gladio style false-flag mega-event enabling the Mike Pence aligned generals dictating every aspect of American ‘security.’ Meanwhile, don’t expect al-Qaida to be the boogyman this time around; look for blame pinned on Russians via Iran.

1 February 1988

Honorable George Bush, Vice President, United States of America, Washington, D.C.

Sir:

Why does it seem that you are saying “YES” to illegal narcotics in America?

I turned over video tapes to your NSC staff assistant, Tom Harvey, January 1987, wherein General KHUN SA, overlord of Asia’s “Golden Triangle”, offered to stop 900 tons of heroin/opium from entering the free world in 1987. Harvey told me, “…there is no interest here in doing that.” General Khun Sa also offered to identify U.S. Government officials who, he says, have been trafficking in heroin for more than 20 years.

November 1986, Scott Weekly and I went into Burma in coordination and cooperation with The White House. Tom Harvey told me you received a letter from Arthur Suchesk, Orange County, CA, dated 29 August 1986. Dr. Suchesk said that Gen Khun Sa had access to U.S. POWs. Harvey said the letter had received “highest attention”. He gave me a copy along with other case documents. I was asked if it was possible to verify the information. According to Harvey, the CIA said Khun Sa had been assassinated some months before. Harvey supplied Scott and myself with language under White House and NSC letterhead that would help us gain access to Khun Sa. It worked. Unfortunately, Khun Sa knew nothing about US POWs. He did, however, offer to trade his nation’s poppy dependence for a legitimate economy.

Instead of receiving an “Atta Boy” for bringing back video tape showing Khun Sa`s offer to stop 900 tons of illegal narcotics and expose dirty USG officials, Scott was jailed and I was threatened. I was told that if I didn’t “erase and forget” all that we had discovered, I would, “hurt the government”. Further, I was promised a prison sentence of “15 years”.

I returned to Burma with two other American witnesses, Lance Trimmer, a private detective from San Francisco, and Barry Flynn from Boston. Gen Khun Sa identified some of those in government service he says were dealing in heroin and arms sales. We video taped this second interview and I turned copies over in June 1987, to the Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence; Chairman of the House on Foreign Affairs Task Force on Narcotics Control; Co-Chairman, Senate Narcotics Committee; Senator Harry Reid, NV; Representative James Bilbray, NV; and other Congressional members. Mister Richard Armitage, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, is one of those USG officials implicated by Khun Sa. Nothing was done with this evidence that indicated that anyone of authority, including yourself, had intended to do anything more than protect Mr. Armitage. I was charged with “Misuse of Passport”. Seems that it is alright for Oliver North and Robert MacFarlane to go into Iran on Irish Passports to negotiate an illegal arms deal that neither you nor anyone else admits condoning, but I can’t use a passport that brings back drug information against your friends.

Lance Trimmer and I submitted a “Citizen Complaint of Wrongdoing by Federal Officers” to Attorney General Edwin Meese, III on 17 September 1987. Continuous private and Legislative inquiries to date indicate that the Attorney General’s Office has “lost” the document. Congressional requests to the Government Accounting Office have resulted in additional government snares and stalls.

January 20, 1988, I talked before your Breakfast Club in Houston, Texas. A distinguished group of approximately 125 associates of yours, including the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court, expressed assurance that you are a righteous man. Almost all of them raised their hand when I asked how many of them know you personally. If you are a man with good intent, I pray you will do more than respond to this letter. I ask that you seriously look into the possibility that political appointees close to you are guilty of by passing our Constitutional process, and for purposes of promoting illegal covert operations, conspired in the trafficking of narcotics and arms.

Please answer why a respected American Citizen like Mister H. Ross Perot can bring you a pile of evidence of wrongdoing by Armitage and others, and you, according to TIME magazine (May 4, page 18), not only offer him no support, but have your Secretary of Defense, Frank Carlucci tell Mr. Perot to “stop pursuing Mr. Armitage”. Why Sir, will you not look into affidavits gathered by The Christic Institute (Washington, D.C.), which testify that Armitage not only trafficked in heroin, but did so under the guise of an officer charged with bringing home our POWs. If the charges are true, Armitage, who is still responsible for POW recovery as your Assistant Secretary of Defense ISA, has every reason not to want these heros returned to us alive. Clearly, follow on investigations would illuminate the collective crimes of Armitage and others.

Several years ago a secretary working for Armitage asked me “Why would he have us expunge his official record of all reference to past POW/MIA assignments and activities?” Not knowing, I ventured a guess that maybe he was considering running for public office and didn’t feel the POW -Vietnam association would be a plus in his resume. It was about the same time a CIA agent named by Khun Sa turned up dead in Bangkok under “mysterious circumstances”. Also about this time, as an agent of NSC’s Intelligence Support Activity, I was told by ISA Chief Jerry King, “…there are still too many bureaucrats in Washington who don’t want to see POWs returned alive”. I failed to realize the fullness of his meaning, or these other events, until in May 1987, Gen Khun Sa, in his jungle headquarters, named Richard Armitage as a key connection in a ring of heroin trafficking mobsters and USG officials. A U.S. agent I have known for many years stopped by my home last month enroute to his next overseas assignment. He remarked that he had worked for those CIA chiefs named by Khun Sa, and that by his own personal knowledge, he knew what Khun Sa said was true. He was surprised it had taken so long to surface.

I am a registered Republican. I voted for you twice. I will not do so again. If you have any love or loyalty in your heart for this nation; if you have not completely sold out, then do something positive to determine the truth of these most serious allegations. You were Director of the CIA in 1975, during a time Khun Sa says Armitage and CIA officials were trafficking in heroin. As Director of Intelligence you were responsible to the American people for the activities of your assistant – even as you should know what some of these same people are doing who are close to you now as our Vice President because I feel these “parallel government” types will only be promoted by you, giving them more reason to bury our POWs.

I am enclosing some documentation that supports the charges made. Chief is a letter from Khun Sa to the U.S. Justice Department dated 28 June 1987, wherein Richard Armitage is named along with Theodore Shackley (your former Deputy Director CIA from Covert Operations) and others. Please also note William Stevenson’s article, “Bank of Intrigue-Circles of Power”. You, Armitage, and General Richard Secord are prominently mentioned. Stevenson, you might remember, authored A MAN CALLED INTREPID. Also Tom Fitzpatrick’s article, “From Burma to Bush, a Heroin Highway”, should interest you. Both of these men are prize winning journalists. The book, CRIMES of PATRIOTS, “A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money, and the CIA”, by Jonathan Kwitny, reporter for the Wall Street Journal, details for you the bank connections that Khun Sa mentions. Finally, the basic primer that spells out exactly how this dope for covert operations gambit began, is Alfred McCoy’s THE POLITICS OF HEROIN IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. All of these should be required reading for the man appointed chief cop by our President to safeguard America from illegal narcotics. These are just a sampling of many works now available that chronical disgraceful conduct by those sworn to protect and defend our Constitution.

Parting shot Mr. Vice President: On 28 January 1988, General Khun Sa tendered an offer to turn over to me one metric ton (2,200 pounds) of heroin. He says this is a good faith gesture to the American people that he is serious about stopping all drugs coming from the infamous Golden Triangle. I, you and Nancy Reagan are really serious about saying “NO” to drugs, why not test Gen Khun Sa? I challenge you to allow me in the company of agents of your choice to arrange to receive this token offer worth over $4 billion on the streets of New York City. It will represent the largest “legal” seizure of heroin on record. You can personally torch it, dump it in the ocean, or turn it into legal medication; as I understand there is a great shortage of legal opiates available to our doctors. I think Gen Khun Sa’s offer is most interesting. If you say “YES” then the ever increasing flow of heroin from Southeast Asia (600– tons– ’86, 900 tons– ’87, 1200– tons’88) may dry up–not good for business in the parallel government and super CIA circles Oliver North mentioned. If you say “NO” to Khun Sa, you are showing colors not fit for a man who would be President.

What is your decision? I challenge you to demonstrate exactly where you stand with respect to big-business-drugs, parallel government, misuse of U.S. tax-payer dollars in foreign drug supression programs that don’t work, no interest in dialogue that will stem the flow of illegal narcotics, return of POWs while they are still alive? I for one am not for a “USA, Inc.” with you or anyone else as Chairman of the Board.

Respecting Your Office,

James “Bo” Gritz

Note on the preceding 1988 letter of (the much maligned) Bo Gritz to George H.W. Bush concerning narcotics trafficking: Having personally witnessed CIA (via Air America) deliver large quantities of heroin to American military headquarters (on more than one occasion) at Vung Tau, Vietnam, in 1971, Gritz’s letter would appear to describe authentic facts on its’ face. That I had been mentored in my brief (1974-1975) but eye-opening military intelligence position by Special Forces veterans of CIA operations in Indochina and Latin America only adds to my conviction Gritz is giving accurate information. On top of this, Gritz’s narrative lines up with numerous sources over a several decades period of subsequent assessments.

Note 2: Having seen zoomed in footage of the 2nd plane hitting the WTC ‘twin towers’, I can state with confidence that particular plane was not the plane ascribed by media as hijacked; it clearly appeared to be a cargo model dressed up (painted) to look like a passenger jet from distance. Very unusual, the plane had some sort of pod attached to the right side of the under fuselage, something I’d never seen before (or since) on any commercial jet.

What became of the actual planes and those persons on those so-called ‘hijacked’ planes of 11 September 2001 is a mystery to me (however Area 51 comes to mind.) Footnoting all of this would be the thought ‘the enterprise’ (Coe cult) member Ted Olsen must’ve seriously wanted rid of his wife.

Note 3: Trump is surrounded by so many connected, complicit, treasonous players, including people in his business empire and in-laws, not only the Pence faction in the executive branch, it would appear Trump, his family and his entire business operation had been targeted by intelligence agencies for quite a long time.

Hale - 1

The Lynching

The current political lynching in DC reminds one of Tom Horn‘s hanging more than a betrayed alt right’s ‘Nathan Hale’ fantastically dressed in patriotic spin. The congressional mob lynching Donald Trump is absolutely complicit in Trump’s crime of a $350 billion arms sale to the Saudis even as Trump is being lynched for daring suggest talking to the Russians concerning geopolitical cooperation. The actual rationale behind the mob hysteria can only be Trump talking to the Russians poses a problem for the Saudis daring to use those weapons in the White House generals’ upcoming war with Iran. Meanwhile, never-mind the present and ongoing Pentagon-Saudi proxy war on Iran (Yemen) violating every human rights standard up to and including using banned cluster munitions. Not only Mike Pence and the generals but likely Bibi has his fingers in this military-industrial pie/racket. Netanyahu nearly has what he wants, an apocalyptic Pentagon owned President Pence en route to a proper war with Iran and cheapening of the male prostitute Uncle Sam:

pence |pens|
plural form of penny.
penny |ˈpenē|
noun
1 N. Amer. informal a one-cent coin equal to one hundredth of a dollar.
• (pl. for separate coins pennies, for a sum of money pence |pens| ) With inflation, prostitute-President Pence wasn’t worth a penny.
ORIGIN Old English penig, penning, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch penning, German Pfennig, also to pawn.

The simple math: following on the CIA overthrowing a democratically elected government in Iran (for the oil), Uncle Sam propped up the Shah of Iran for decades, an absolute asshole who spent lavishly on both; buying American arms and (with competent MOSSAD help) brutalizing his own people. The radicalized ayatollahs coming to power had been a direct result of that chain of events, a case of what Malcolm X would likely have very accurately called another ‘case of the chickens coming home to roost’ for the USA.

Meanwhile, the stupid fuckers at the apocalyptic bible prophecy worshiping Pentagon, rather than apologize to Iran for the undeniable history and thank the ayatollahs for the nuclear non-proliferation arrangement, make moves that can only serve to convince every nation refusing to bend over for a USA butt-fucking they should acquire nukes.

The preceding is why this blog has a category specific to “Morons”

Disclaimer: Just in case James Comey’s FBI doesn’t get it, this IS a satirical cartoon that does NOT support terrorism, and especially does not support NATO’s Gladio B false-flag terror:

I left this as a comment at Phill Giraldi’s Unz Review column. Time to time my comments are inspiration for my blog but this is the first one I’m bringing over here verbatim:

When the middle east was ‘decolonized’ (in name only) there were artificial boundaries left behind resembling those of the American Indian reservations where tribes with a long history of mutual animosity were forced into cohabitation. Secular strongmen kept a lid on the religious animosity between Shia and Sunni (the main and most problematic rivalry) in a region with an otherwise naturally decentralized body politic represented in various tribes and clans with local tradition of authority. There is no nation state tradition per se in the sense we know in ‘the west.’

The folly of attempting to impose western style (liberal) democracy on what amount to artificial entities to begin with (‘states’ comprised of arbitrary, colonial era drawn borders, incorporating peoples with longstanding differences and simmering animosities) is certain to see profound consequence. As much as it might be an undesirable short term and self-centered interest of less than noble parties to break these artificial entities up, the reality is any previous delicate balance has been so deeply compromised and poisoned, and the historic animosity between the areas indigenous rivals so stirred, there is no going back to the old status quo. ‘All the king’s horses and all the king’s men won’t put this humpty back together again.’

In the short term, America’s neo-cons (and neo-liberals) have, in a sense, won. But what? No one can predict where, when or what is going to come of this incredibly stupid gambit where the attempted overthrow of Assad was so great a fascination of converging, short-sighted interests, to go so far as to knowingly allow, nay, actually make that fostering, the rise of Islamic State.

Sunni Iraq is de facto broken off from Shia Iraq, Sunni Syria is effectively broken off from Alawite and Christian Syria and the Kurds, the largest stateless ethnic group in the world, is a wild card determined to have what they should have been allowed in the beginning, their own nation-state. Most Kurds are in Turkey with sizable populations in Iraq, Iran and Syria. Kurd national aspirations trump their largely Sunni religious affiliation. Erdogan, reflecting a long time Turkish chauvinism in relation to other ethnic groups, has destroyed what little rapprochement had been accomplished with not only Turkey’s own Kurdish population, but has alienated the Kurds of Syria and Iraq.

Phil [Giraldi’s] ‘destroying ISIS but how?’ has to take the long view where all of these complications are in play. Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar all might give lip service to reasonable solution but the only solution they actually desire is Assad’s ouster and a compliant puppet to replace him. Meanwhile, the western powers have so much ego invested, they can hardly stand to turn a new page if they can’t write the script, although the ‘chickens come home to roost’ in Paris might have slapped some sense into Hollande, but we won’t know this for certain right away.

That sole, overarching fact is, international law and the United Nations, based in western traditions, are no match for the forces released with the meddling in this region by the no less than incredible stupidity of the western powers leadership. When the dust settles, let’s just hope it’s not radioactive –

Today’s media, FOX being the poster child, is exploiting the ignorant and narcissistic hate endemic to the uneducated White lower class in the USA, while parroting the official line. There is a deep and abiding fear underlies this hate, a social-cultural phenomenon rooted in a history of class exploiting race, whether the racism of ‘manifest destiny’ in relation to considering Native Americans sub-human to justify theft and murder; or the ‘White trash’ whose racism had been historically fed and exploited by the ‘southern aristocracy’ for political and pecuniary purpose.

Social phenomena being what it is, it follows there is the inter-generational aspect where the ignorance is sustained within family and community. ‘Mean people make little mean people.’ This ignorance is, in turn, exploited by the politics of fear mongering in the present.

Whether it is the fairly straightforward lies of the Rupert Murdochs (FOX News) in our world or the more insidious Hasbara of Israel, example given, posing as White, racist, anti-Semites in the article comments at Unz Review to smear authors like Phillip Giraldi with a false flag generating guilt by association, it is old tactic in play.

Now, Arabs (and Brown anybodies) are the new Native American to be feared as ‘savages’ in the 21st century edition of empire (manifest destiny) and, of course, there is underhanded play aplenty to radicalize just enough of the new ‘savages’ to insure a few will behave shockingly enough for media sensation. Meanwhile ’empire media’ will present ‘White Europe’ as the model of civilization under attack by barbarians, never mind we prop up the likes of ®Saudi Barbaria™.

Saudi Arabia, whom the USA has just sold another billion dollars plus in arms, exports Wahabi Islam that crucifies, beheads and delivers lashes in increments of 50 over years of torture as the victim is allowed to heal between the last fifty and next fifty to the number of 1,000. This cruelty is reflected in the close Saudi connections to, and support for, al-Qaida and Islamic State and with the Saudis financing mosques across Europe, what would one expect? That Brussels, example given, would become Europe’s ‘jihadi’ hotbed? The result is bringing discredit on ordinary, law abiding people of Muslim heritage everywhere, secular and religious.

This matrix of evil is all interconnected in the USA’s so-called ‘vital national interests’ where intelligence agencies, backed by corporate co-opted media, geo-engineer entire societies, whether via ‘color revolutions’, coups d’état or in the present ‘Arab Spring’ attempted overthrow of Syria’s Assad.

This immediate preceding case is where the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ had been prostituted in a case of converging interests; Saudi Arabia and Qatar looking to overthrow Assad to essentially to poke Iran in the eye with a sharp stick. Turkey to quash its paranoia of the Kurds exercising of any right of self determination exterior to its borders. Israel supporting al-Nusra to remove a thorn its side constituting the Golan Heights where they will be looking for a surrender of sovereignty in a weakened and compliant Syria broken off from Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The USA appeasing Israel, and as well, appeasing ally (oil supplier) Saudi Arabia at odds with Iran also plays into the equation, as well USA, France, Germany and Britain play if only because they’re addicted to the profits from weapons sales propping up corporate neo-colonialism.

The result has been establishing (by the CIA in concert with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel and to some extent the British, German and French intelligence agencies) the so-called ‘Free Syrian Army’ which has served as little more than a front to train and arm Salafist (extreme Wahabi) militia represented in al-Qaida and the emergence of Daesh (Islamic State, IS, ISIL, ISIS) as a device to overthrow the secular regime of Syria, noting any ‘real’ moderates are fighting on the side of the secular regime.

The result has been several fold; the flood of refugees out of Syria, the Paris massacre, the accelerated rise of a police state in the so-called ‘free world’ and not least, the overall increase of the value of stocks in the so-called ‘security industry’ (includes the profit margin increases of armaments producers across the board.)

All of this can be accomplished in the case of manipulating press to insure an ill educated and misinformed populace is thoroughly fear mongered; terrorists here, terrorists there, terrorists everywhere:

They see you when you’re sleeping (CNN)
They know when you’re awake (Al Jazeera)
They know when you’re out to dine (Le Monde)
So stay home for safety’s sake! (Der Speigel)
So you better watch out (The Daily Mail)
You’d better not fly (Canadian Broadcasting Corp)
Al-Baghdadi is coming to town (The Jerusalem Post)

Now, if any of you have any doubts as to the preceding, take a look (again) at what I’ve been hammering on at this site; we have a bonafide, (no doubt mistakenly or incredibly courageously) declassified intelligence report from the Defense Intelligence Agency that says in no uncertain terms the rise of Islamic State, as stated by the boss of the Defense Intelligence Agency when that very report was written, and speaking to that very same report, was “willful” and “a policy decision”

Now, ask yourselves, who is to blame for the attacks in Paris? I’ll name the names at the top: USA’s Obama, Turkey’s Erdogan, the House of Saud, the rulers of Qatar, France’s Hollande (and Sarkozy prior to Hollande), Britain’s Cameron, Germany’s Merkel and Israel’s Netanyahu.

Now, ask yourselves the more difficult questions; what western democratic constitution allows for intelligence agencies to engineer the rise of terrorist organizations for sake of geo-political manipulations? The plain answer is none. If Iran is the world’s premier sponsor of state terror as alleged by the USA Department of State, what are the so-called western democracies by comparison? It wasn’t Iran butchered the Parisians, it wasn’t Hezbollah and it wasn’t Assad either. The massacre in Paris is the direct result of the USA, in concert with Britain, France, Germany, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Israel deliberately creating and feeding the conditions that saw the rise of Daesh (Islamic State, IS, ISIL, ISIS.) A secondary, but no less malignant result, will be the rise of the far right and nationalism in Europe, breeding fear, loathing and Islamophobia with growing radicalism on all parties part.

It should come as no surprise that those nations arming a dark ages regime such as Saudi Arabia would be criminal regimes in their own right, particularly noting in addition to the USA, France, Britain and Germany. Meanwhile, the criminal leadership of the western democracies has been cutting their own people’s throats. In every nation named, the actions of their respective intelligence agencies is directed from the executive level.

This is the real intelligence on our leaders and it’s not rocket science:

So, WikiLeaks has begun releasing the ‘Saudi Cables’ and wouldn’t you know it, that comes the very next day after Saudi Arabia has begun a serious process of ‘entente cordiale’ with Russia. A truly ‘whaddaya know’ moment. I could leave the entire subject there but, some people would appreciate the facts spelled out.

Per part two of a recent, preceding post at this site, Truth Jockeys, it is noted there had been a sea change in the ruling family of Saudi Arabia this past year, where at the beginning of 2014, with the rise of Islamic State, the Prince Bandar Sultan (American neocon aligned) faction that had long controlled Saudi Arabia’s intelligence and external security apparatus, after decades of doing CIA dirty work, had finally begun to be put out of business. The CIA’s brain-child (what became Prince Bandar’s pet project) and asset but now seriously compromised al-Qaida, represents a functional relationship that suddenly vanishes like a vapor evaporates. By now, the CIA no longer has Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency to launder its operational objectives incorporating Salafist militia, a habit finally having gone horrifically wrong with the birth of Islamic State, a very real existential threat to the Saudi kingdom.

This not so small development combines with another recent geo-political change, Obama’s beginning thaw with Iran (initially, the nuclear issues to be set aside.) Obviously the Saudis have had an up close and personal encounter with reality, face to face as they are rounding up returned Salafist veterans of Iraq & Syria, for execution:

litmus_test1-1

“the royal orders were a clear message to Saudi fighters, civilians and military alike, principally in Syria, but also in Iraq, Lebanon, and other places. It meant that a harsh fate awaits them if they decided to come back home. To avoid the grim destiny and severe punishment, they had to remain outside the borders and continue their mission until they perish or get dispersed in other fighting arenas, much like the first contingent of Arab Afghan fighters and those who emerged in Iraq after 2003, in Lebanon after the Nahr al-Bared war at the end of 2007, and those currently in Syria following the agreement between Saudi intelligence chief Bandar bin Sultan and former CIA chief David Petraeus in the summer of 2012″ [the link may be slow loading via internet archive]

What would the Saudi king’s message have been to Putin? ‘Ok, so we understand we cannot trust the USA to have our back, it’s a bitter lesson. We’ll help you kill off the CIA’s Salafist insurgencies (uh, sorry for facilitating that) plaguing Russia and its border states and you will work to keep a resurgent Iran off our back, understanding there is no love lost there .. and by the way, how can we help with the Iranians killing off Islamic State in Iraq?’ Or something along those lines.

And the very next day, following this meeting, WikiLeaks begins releasing the ‘Saudi Diplomatic Cables’ and one of the first picked up in the Western press concerns Saudi dirty tricks campaigns in Iran. Huh. Whaddaya know bout that.

The litmus test will be, whether the Saudi cables released detail the Petraeus-Brennan CIA cooperation-coordination with Prince Bandar’s Saudi intelligence, utilizing Salafist militia (since 2012) to undermine Assad with resulting rise of Islamic State and blow-back into Iraq:

litmus_test2-1

“Frequently the man who carried out dirty jobs, Bandar bin Sultan surrounded himself with strict regulations in relation to the royal family and its allies, especially the US. It should be remembered that Bandar was absent from major political decisions on more than four occasions since being appointed as general secretary of the National Security Council in 2006. His absence each time was due to a conflict within the royal family or the failure of a mission warranting the suspension of his political activity. His return in July 2012, alongside former CIA Director David Petraeus, was his final bet on the success of his political future

“Bandar had been bold enough to invest all his cards, including al-Qaeda, to win the deal of his life by overthrowing the Syrian regime. However, a royal order issued on February 3 criminalizing all Saudi fighters, civilians and military, was an indirect announcement of the failure of Bandar’s mission and the need to get him entirely out of the picture. The period following the royal decree concerning the fighters was merely in preparation for the royal decree ending his political career”
[the link may be slow loading via internet archive]

If these facts are not revealed in the released cables, the finger can be pointed squarely at WikiLeaks for implementing a USA intelligence (or possibly MOSSAD) post-Putin meeting retaliatory attack on Saudi Arabia, as a warning against mending relations with Russia (never was there a greater empire stooge in this one man’s assessment, than WikiLeaks’ Assange.)

Update 30 January 2017: What had the Saudi cables revealed concerning the CIA-Petraeus-Saudi intelligence-Bandar bin Sultan known cooperation with al Qaida in Syria nearly two years on WikiLeaks publishing? Answer: Nothing. Let me spell it out: N O T H I N G.

About Obama’s $500,000,000 plan to train & arm the ‘moderate’ opposition in Syria… people would do well to consider the track record, something the U.S. administration seem incapable of weighing and making intelligent consequent decisions:

When American Trained Commandos Go Rogue

When reading these succinct examples of American trained commandos gone rogue, keep in the back of your mind that a dozen men trained in elite special operations skills can turn that knowledge into hundreds who in turn can pass the knowledge on to thousands of insurgents:

“Los Zetas’ [drug cartel] training as a local version of the Green Berets constitutes their foremost asset. In cooperation with their U.S. counterparts, the Mexican military created the Gafes in mid-1990s. Foreign specialists, including Americans, French, and Israelis, instructed members of this elite unit in rapid deployment, aerial assaults, marksmanship, ambushes, intelligence collection, counter-surveillance techniques, prisoner rescues, sophisticated communications, and the art of intimidation” -George Greyson, Foreign Policy Research Institute (2008)

^ Note “the art of intimidation” … the Zetas international drug cartel have sometimes introduced themselves with rolling severed heads into nightclubs frequented by their rivals .. oh, and have decapitated a ‘bakers two dozen’ in one fell swoop:

“A spokesman for Guatemala’s police described what they found on Sunday morning: “One whole body, 26 bodies without heads, and 23 heads”

And these same ‘stupid is as stupid does’ programs just go on:

“Syrian rebels who would later join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials.

“The officials said dozens of future ISIS members were trained at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq” -WND 17 June 2014, ‘Blowback! U.S. trained Islamists who joined ISIS’

Many, many dozens would have been the more apt description. Of course the USA allies, particularly Saudis funding these efforts might be a role model, your head can come off in Saudi Arabia for possession of new age literature and an accusation of witchcraft…

“The man, Muree bin Ali bin Issa al-Asiri, was found in possession of books and talismans”

Or you can be a minority Shia dissident in USA’s ally Saudi Arabia and be literally crucified:

“prosecutors called for al-Nimr to be executed by crucifixion”

I expect we can know where our CIA paramilitary and special operations forces trained commandos take their inspirations from…

Africa next?

“The secretive program, financed in part with millions of dollars in classified Pentagon spending and carried out by trainers, including members of the Army’s Green Berets and Delta Force, was begun last year to instruct and equip hundreds of handpicked commandos in Libya, Niger, Mauritania and Mali” -Eric Schmitt, New York Times 26 May 2014

Oh yeah, what a great idea, to mix the preceding with this next:

“an estimated 15,000 children in Africa’s Niger Delta [have been] denounced by Christian pastors as witches and wizards and then killed, tortured or abandoned by their own families” -Return to Africa’s Witch Children (documentary film)

Witches must be why Christian Taliban work out of the ‘Pentagon’

And finally:

“In 2013, the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) — one of the nine organizational units that make up the Unified Combatant Command — had special operations forces (SOFs) in 134 countries, where they were either involved in combat, special missions, or advising and training foreign forces” -The Tucson Sentinel, 18 September 2014

Great, just what the USA needs, thousands of armed, extremist missionaries proselytizing a ‘weaponized gospel of Jesus Christ’ across the world, that’ll make plenty of sober & thoughtful friends, you think?

And be certain to check out where the Islamic State’s top military commander received his training; should the USA’s Green Berets come as a surprise?

“He was a perfect soldier from his first days, and everyone knew he was a star,” said one former comrade, who asked not to be identified because he remains on active duty and has been ordered not to give media interviews about his former colleague. “We were well trained by American special forces units, and he was the star pupil”

Deep State V Economics & counter-insurgency

Update: On 26 November 2014 the Pentagon announced the deployment of A-10 ground attack jets to battle ISIS, nearly three months since this article had published, four months since the USA had begun bombing, five months since Iraq had requested help and many months since ISIS (IS, ISIL) had begun to consolidate control over large areas of Iraq, drawing on resources developed in Syria (oil revenue and American or American ally trained & equipped jihadis.) In the meanwhile, much ground has been lost and it will be much more difficult to roll ISIS back. Now, the question is, will the A-10 be used against Assad’s forces in Syria? If so, the policy is not to defeat ISIS but to overthrow the most effective force battling ISIS. If this happens, ask yourself, is the strategy to create chaos?

The Islamic State for Dummies, Part 2

So, we have the Pentagon claiming there are limits to air power halting the expansion of IS (ISIL/ISIS) into Iraq, as they drop one bomb at a time on a Toyota or Dodge Ram pick-up truck here and a captured humvee there, using F-15, F-16 & FA-18 fighter-bombers, the most expensive and inefficient option available. Huh?

bomb

So, what happened to the A-10 ground attack jet whose rapid fire cannon could bag IS columns like a lawn mower bags grass?

A-10

“The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog” is the only aircraft in United States Air Force (USAF) history designed specifically for the close air support mission.

“It was designed to be able to survive in an intense anti-aircraft environment including anti-aircraft guns, radar-guided and infrared missiles and be able to absorb battle damage and keep flying. In fact, the A-10 is probably the most difficult plane to shoot down ever built due to its extreme maneuverability, electronic countermeasures, self-sealing fuel tanks, widely separated jet engines, twin tails, manual backup flight control system and redundant wing spars.

“A total of 165 of these most recognizable and feared aircraft from 5 different units participated in Operation Desert Storm.  All units were formalized under the 354th Provisional Wing 144 aircraft at a time.  The remaining aircraft were replacements standing by at an off-site location to replace aircraft damaged beyond continued combat status or aircraft destroyed.

“Together, these A-10 and OA-10 aircraft conducted 8,624 sorties maintaining a 95.7% mission capable rate, 5% above A-10 peace-time rates, had the highest sortie rate of any USAF aircraft.  They achieved:

  • 967 tanks destroyed
  • 1026 pieces of artillery destroyed
  • 1306 trucks destroyed
  • 281 military structures destroyed
  •  53 Scud missiles destroyed
  • 10 aircraft on the ground destroyed
  • 2 air-to-air aircraft (helicopter) kills with the GAU-8A 30mm Avenger cannon

“Pilots often flew up to three missions per day with A-10’s accounted for destroying 1/4 of Iraq’s entire arsenal”

Now, with IS required to move in convoys across the desert…

IS

…and not having nearly the weaponry and territory of Saddam’s Iraq, it stands to reason a couple of dozen A-10 ground attack jets could be decimating IS expansion into Iraq, in short order. But instead we have a Pentagon claiming they have limited options. Again, huh?

Oh, BUT:

“The Syrian opposition said ISIL gained control of more than 60 percent of Syrian oil production. The opposition said ISIL was pumping nearly 100,000 barrels per day in the provinces of Dir Al Zour and Raqa. The sources said ISIL was selling the oil to neighboring Turkey. They said the Al Qaida force was preparing to capture the largest Syrian oil fields, located in the Hasakah province. An opposition figure, Yamin Al Shami, told the Saudi-owned A-Sharq Al Awsat that oil sales marked a significant source of revenue for ISIL. Al Shami said ISIL was employing Syrian and foreign brokers for oil deals”

Hey! That ‘Syrian opposition’ is the people the USA claims is their preferred partner to replace Assad… …as that same USA’s military leadership sits on its hands as IS kicks its partner’s (so -called ‘opposition’) butt.

What gives here? Pick your option

1) IS (ISIL) is selling Syria’s oil on the cheap to get the crude out through NATO member Turkey and people at the Pentagon have a hand in the wind-fall profit pie (recalling when stationed at Vung Tau, Vietnam, myself and other soldiers often had to buy our own food back from street stalls in town, to get a decent meal, as well recalling the command staff car that would meet the CIA’s Air America flights delivering heroin and high-grade marijuana to the base, our command structures were corrupt to the core)

2) The Pentagon doesn’t like Obama and wants him to fail (recalling General Petraeus escalated in Afghanistan with policies that totally alienated the populace, a recruiting gift to the Taliban that saw that war theater come apart like hell in a hand-basket)

3) The Christian al-Qaida at the Pentagon (and in Brussels) want literal Armageddon based on Bible prophecy, to get Jesus back, you know, the story line is we destroy the planet in high style, because that’s a certain road to paradise and predicted all through the Bible according to NATO military chaplains (and Pentagon darling Rick Perry’s evangelist buddies, the Pentagon’s choice replace Obama in 2016)

4) It’d be too embarrassing to admit the Israelis, Saudis and Turks, our allies, are up to their arms in IS bloodletting and have been from the get-go, with ample CIA assistance (especially not to mention our ally Saudi Arabia is on track to have beheaded 80 people in 2014, by the end of September, includes anyone criticizing the Wahabi sect of Islam and persons in possession of new age literature because obviously they are witches)

5) Because generating war is good for business with the generals moving over to corporate sector on retirement (the ‘triple your retirement pay’ plan, by moving over to selling and delivering bombs, from buying and dropping bombs)

A report released Monday by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and the Brave New Foundation found that 70 percent of retired three-and-four star generals took jobs with defense contractors or consultants, a figure that has actually declined in recent years.

The report found that 76 out of 108 top generals took such jobs from 2009 to 2011, and a few continued to advise the Department of Defense while on the payroll of contractors. The report cited Gen. James Cartwright, who was elected to a paid position on Raytheon’s board of directors while serving on the Defense Policy Board. Adm. Gary Roughead also served on the board while joining the board of Northrop Grumman, earning $115,000 per year.

Eighty percent of generals retiring from 2004 to 2008 took such jobs, according to a 2010 Boston Globe investigation.

6) Terror is necessary to consolidate a ‘Dominion Theology‘ police state (see point 3, preceding)

Dominion theology refers to a line of theological interpretation and thought with regard to the role of the church in contemporary society. Dominion theology is also known as Christian reconstructionism and theonomy. Dominion theology states that biblical Christianity will rule all areas of society, personal and corporate. Christian reconstructionism reasons that society will be reconstructed by the Law of God as preached in the gospel and the Great Commission. Theonomy is a post-millennial view believing that all of the moral laws contained in the Old Testament are yet binding today

Think that’s overstated? Check this out:

In October of 2013, the Air Force quietly modified Air Force Instruction 36-2606, which [now] states that all enlistees must sign the oath to God and swear it aloud. Prior to the change in the regulation, secular and atheist service members were allowed to omit the phrase

So what mainstream journalists will generate adequate gonads and question the sanity of NATO Supreme Allied Commander (United States Air Force General) Phillip Breedlove, who seems to be playing a role in Dr Strangelove, on how it is only those who swear to serve Almighty God are permitted in NATO’s majority air wing:

7) The Pentagon is comprised in its entirety of egg-heads & idiots:

generals

^ Joint Chief of Staff chairman Dempsey’s egg-heads & idiots

8) The Pentagon has moved on from ‘the only good Indian is a dead Indian’ to ‘the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim’ where ‘Manifest Destiny’ is become the goal for the entire planet via empire:

deadindians

^ 19 Medals of Honor remain on the books for this 1890 massacre

9) Any combination or all of the above

f6

^ 21st Century US Military Chaplain Corps

So, ask yourselves, why is it every Pentagon policy only causes a bad circumstance to degenerate? And then ask this Commander-in-Chief picking his nose the same question (you can email the White House), maybe he’ll stop eating boogers long enough to think for himself:

ObamaPick

NATO’s de facto Commander-in-Chief

But don’t hold your breath waiting for anything intelligent to happen, considering Obama is practically in love with CIA chief John Brennan…

The story that Hastings was working on at the time of his death centered around CIA Director John Brennan, the chief architect of President Obama’s foreign drone program. It related specifically to Brennan’s role as the administration’s point man tracking investigative journalists and their sources in Washington-

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.

Observation: So long as political lies are a protected form of speech as opposed to felonies, democracy is only as factual as any liar(s) controlling the apparatus of state-

When politicians serve up a platter of lies to the world, as Obama, Cameron and Hollande have presented what is happening in Syria, who then are we to think democracy is superior to a dictator? The soon to more than 100,000 dead Syrians and already over one million refugees, are by far more the work of western democracies paramilitary intelligence operations than Assad’s so-called Arab Spring ‘crackdown’ which would have been long over were it not for ‘democracies’ support for the ‘resistance.’ In fact, ‘democracy’ has already murdered more Syrians, by far, than Assad, left alone, ever would have. But first, a thumbnail sketch of what can only be described as an Arab Spring sandstorm, a literally blinding event.

Our fable begins with WikiLeaks and released diplomatic cables as the demiurge creating a universal movement for democracy in the Arab world. Meanwhile, Julian Assange has been the house guest of Miss Egypt, that nations number one corporate prostitute whose commercial sponsor (Pantene) ties directly to Procter and Gamble, a major supporter of FOX NEWS. Amy Goodman sucks up Assange’s story of Miss Egypt’s concerns for social justice and how he managed live with her literally wedged into American security, and what he was up to unbeknownst to them:

Amy Goodman: “You lived in Egypt for a time”

Julian Assange: “I lived in Egypt during 2007, so I’m familiar with the Mubarak regime and the tensions within the Egyptian environment. Actually, I was staying at the time, rather unusual circumstance, I was staying in Ms. Egypt’s house. And, Ms. Egypt’s house – other than having paintings of Ms. Egypt all throughout – was clustered right between the U.S. Embassy and the U.N. High Commission with a van outside fueled with 24 soldiers in front of my front door. So, for the type of work we were doing, this seemed to be the ultimate cover to be nested right amongst this”

NOT. You don’t live with neo-conservative Procter and Gamble’s premier Arab World corporate prostitute located between buildings crawling with American, United Nations, and Egyptian security & intelligence, other than with an official nod of approval. I think we’ll find out now who was ‘providing cover.’

How did Egypt’s ‘Spring’ pan out? Known CIA front ‘Freedom House’ (ever since rogue CIA officer Phillip Agee, among others, had fingered the agitators behind so-called ‘color revolutions’) and associated organizations such as the National Democratic Institute, had been training the leadership of the initial secular student and youth movement, with apple technology for revolutionary coordinating purposes. Meanwhile, the Mubarak regime had been provided all the necessary electronic snooping technology to analyze, identify and isolate the secular movement’s leadership, they were rounded up and sent off to USA torture darling Omar Sulieman’s jails. The Muslim Brotherhood stepped in and hijacked the revolution they had initially refused to support, together with taking over the new constitutional process, perfectly happy the secular movement had been marginalized for them. The Brotherhood now wrote the secular movement out of the ‘democratic’ process. The result being, the USA does business in Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood as the ‘legitimate’ government. Meanwhile, the predecessor Mubarak regime’s CIA ‘renditions to torture’ darling Omar Sulieman falls ‘ill’ and is whisked away to the United States for treatment where he dies, silencing a seriously problematic witness. With friends like the CIA…

Now, let’s move over to Libya. Gaddafi is a problem for France and Britain because after his ‘rehabilitation’, he’s not buying high end weapons packages to enrich those nations armaments industries and after all, Gaddafi has maintained his relationships with Syria and Iran. Other than torturing CIA and British MI6 renditioned prisoners, the new business arrangement with Libya is not working out.

Gaddafi is not handing over his oil industry for thorough exploitation, he’s kept Libya out of debt to the IMF, so no leverage there. Libyans live in a society approaching the American middle class standard of living. If you’re not particularly political, you have no problems, there is freedom to travel abroad, free university , women’s emancipation that is radical by Arab world standards and Libya is stable. But it is ‘spring time’ in the Arab world and Gaddafi is not performing political fellatio on the western democracies. Suddenly there is armed resistance in the vicinity of the border with Egypt, France’s neo-con ‘moral conscience’, Bernard-Henri Lévy, gives Nicolas Sarkozy a political blow-job, claiming a failure to intervene in Libya for ‘humanitarian’ reasons “would be a stain on the flag of France.” Sarkozy calls Hillary Clinton and not long after, the cruise missiles are raining down.

The result? Libya is a collection of competing tribal militias, standard of living, free travel and women’s emancipation vanished, Christine Lagarde, at the International Monetary Fund, spontaneously orgasms her pants at the IMF’s prospective new bond servant, Libya’s arsenal is scattered with western intelligence agencies delivering the one half of Gaddafi’s surplus weapons to ‘rebels’ in Syria, the other half of the weapons have found their way into the hands of jihadis across North Africa and a direct result is the war in Mali and more to come across the region and with no end in sight. Oh, but the Pentagon apologizes for failing to instill any standard of human decency in the Malian army it had trained, as that army goes on a war crimes rampage. “We’re sorry.”

Meanwhile, in Bahrain, the majority Shia population is brutally repressed and the USA wrings its hands and sheds a crocodile tear for public consumption as doctors and nurses who’d dared to treat wounded protestors are jailed for decades and the USA’s 5th Fleet remains securely ensconced there. This is because there will be ZERO actual pressure brought to bear on the corrupt sheik’s ruling minority, when neighboring Wahabi Saudi Arabia is the western democracies enforcer, with weapons and intelligence supplied by, you might have guessed it, none other than the very same western democracies, propping up Bahrain.

Now we can arrive back at Syria where the three stooges, the USA, France and Britain, all have had ongoing paramilitary intelligence operations employed to foment revolution to overthrow Assad since the beginning of the so-called ‘Arab Spring.’ The result? The soon to be 100,000 dead Syrians, with one million refugees already, projected to swell to three million refugees within a year, sectarian civil war, atrocities on all sides and extreme jihadis are the most competent, disciplined and well armed of the so-called ‘rebel’ (actually mercenary) militias. These extreme Wahabi  ‘Salafi’ sect are drawn out of Al Qaida ranks in neighboring Iraq, and had been armed by the western democracies allies Qatar & Saudi Arabia. All initially organized via intelligence operations sourced in the USA, France and Britain.

Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Save the Children, all cheer this ‘humanitarian violence’ on with finger pointing at the Syrians and the Assad regime particularly, but nothing is said about the underlying cause and here is why; former Amnesty International (USA) board director Francis Boyle had stated:

My conclusion was that a high-level official of Amnesty International at that time, whom I will not name, was a British intelligence agent. Moreover, my fellow board member, who also investigated this independently of me, reached the exact same conclusion. So certainly when I am dealing with people who want to work with Amnesty in London, I just tell them, “Look, just understand, they’re penetrated by intelligence agents, U.K., maybe U.S., I don’t know, but you certainly can’t trust them

In fact these human rights agencies are shilling propaganda at the populace of the western democracies on behalf of the very people who’d initiated, and are largely responsible for, the travesty of Syria. How sorely these intelligence co-opted ‘humanitarian’ agencies need us to perceive Assad as the sole or at least primary responsible monster, because:

The western democracies having had already arranged for the ‘rebels’ to be armed and the result is Islamists empowered and now they have to find a way out of the  fine and deadly chaos the USA, France and Britain had created when it turns out Syria has not only been destroyed by their incompetent endeavors, but their by far more dangerous (than Assad ever was) enemy presently has the upper hand to gain control in the final outcome. But if you buy this line of patent BS that ‘secular rebels’ need strengthening, you not only assure the downfall of Assad, you also plunge Syria into a post Assad regime civil war with no end in sight. The Saudi (Wahabi) support for the Western democracies meddling in Syria has its own agenda, the Saudi alliance with the Western democracies is one of in bed together for self serving interests, and has nothing to do with common values. The western democracies militarily prop up a corrupt Saudi regime with medieval social values and the democracies are assured their addiction to oil is not threatened. Employing Qatar and the Saudis to launder weapons to Syrian ‘rebels’ was the leadership of the western democracies begging for an anal rape by a misogynist, gynophobic regime with a mentality firmly rooted in the dark ages.

Other than Wahabi jihadis, the winners in this wanton murder of the people of Syria are those corporate boards that sponsor the likes of Julian Assange’s liaison ‘Miss Egypt’ and FOX NEWS. ‘Christian Dominion’ corporate board personalities you commonly see at The Federalist Society, with names like Dick Cheney, Shannen Coffin, John Roberts and Condoleezza Rice. People like Blackwater’s ‘ethics advisor’ John Ashcroft, anywhere and everywhere profit from chaos enriching criminals believing in fascism, these people feel justified and blessed.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Save the Children see the money pour in as highly placed officials in those organizations draw a second salary from intelligence agencies, and so they are blessed as well.

And not only neo-cons but neo-liberal serial-killers of nations Hillary Clinton and ‘middle east envoy’ Tony Blair who concealed his conversion to Catholic fundamentalism from the British people until he was out of office. He must be having wet dreams over Syria and wishing he could climb into bed with Cameron.

The armaments industry is blessed. The private security modern mercenary industry, employing ‘Christian Dominion’ commandos who are veterans of the western democracies special operations forces are blessed. Since Iraq, prospective business has never looked this good.

The nearly twenty thousand extreme ‘Christian Dominion’ fundamentalist members of the “Officers’ Christian Fellowship” whose senior members control the Pentagon, as documented by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, are feeling exceedingly blessed. Their apocalyptic vision of Armageddon precipitating the literal return of Jesus seems within reach. The likes of American Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, who never encountered a proposed intervention she did not approve and will go on to become ultra rich in the private/corporate security apparatus, are blessed. People who either believe in or would profit from literal Armageddon, feel blessed.

In the end, ‘Le grand canard’ is an interesting expression, possible translations from the original French could include; ‘a big duck’, ‘the great hoax’ or ‘a grand fable.’

The Arab Spring overall, meets the definition ‘great hoax’ and the present public posturing (political lies) of Barack Obama, David Cameron and Francois Hollande, claiming a sudden and urgent need to arm the ‘rebels’, as though they had not arranged this already, precisely meets the definition of a ‘grand fable.’ Or perhaps merely a collective insanity in a nuclear armed world led by mediocre mentalities whose claims to leadership are founded on little more than an incompetent and self-serving narcissism.

And the biggest ‘duck’ in all of this is WikiLeaks, the factual outcomes point to WikiLeaks as a criminal enterprise unleashing chaos. Who has actually profited from the actions of WikiLeaks? Neo-con corporate boards populated by personalities who proliferate weapons sales worldwide. Police state apparatus with renewed/accelerated geo-political instability justifying greater ‘security’ expenditures via rationale of social disorder and attending ‘terror’ fear-mongering. All of the preceding overlapping at “The Family” of “C Street” infamy, whose ‘Christian Dominion’ personalities are as insane as Hitler’s inner circle ever were, now more firmly entrenched than ever, and forever indebted to Julian Assange.

I would suppose the typical western mentality would normally, happily, imagine ‘Spring’ to be a time of blossoming landscapes. But they have failed to recognize any ‘Arab Spring’ is a season and geography of sandstorms.
