Neoconservative U.S. and Israeli Elements Behind Putin Threats

The alleged assassination threat against Putin is a clever one, of course charged at Islamic extremists. But what would be the motive for them, since Putin has defended Iran's right to nuclear power? The only parties with motive to assassinate or threaten Putin would be American-Israeli and neoconservative interests who are angry with Putin over his defense of Iran (including in the UN Security Council resolutions), not "Islamic jihadists". Motive, means, and opportunity for either feigned or real threats, or assassination, of Putin are with covert operations of the neoconservative and Israeli fifth column. Iranians have no plausible motive in doing such. The evidence per the article below supports this analysis.
------------------------------

Here is the threat matrix on Putin:

1. Threaten assassination and lay blame on Iranian militants or Islamic "terrorists". This has the benefit of providing cover for the true perpetrators and sets the stage for a false-flag assassination, shifting the advantage to the neoconservative war agenda.

a. Scenario A -- Putin is assassinated by Israeli MOSSAD or U.S. CIA covert ops, already both infiltrating Iran to foment revolution and violence to overthrow the government. Russia no longer defends Iran since Putin is killed during visit. This eliminates the major defense of Iran from any UN Security Council nation, thus paving the way for the Cheney and neoconservative led war on Iran.

b. Scenario B--Putin discouraged from attendance. This is not working, per article below.

c. Scenario C--Putin's Visit to Iran ends due to bomb or explosion, or other event. This cripples their relations, leading Putin to not trust Iran, or disintegrates and frustrates the purpose of the trip. Advantage to American-Israeli agenda would be that no photo ops showing Putin with Amadinejad together which would be a clear show of alliance in western media, especially since Putin has been with Bush at his ranch.
The neocons cannot bear seeing Putin meet with Ahmadinejad since Putin is an "ally" on the "war on terrorism".

Putin delays Iran visit amid plot report

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer

TEHRAN, Iran - Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged Monday to negotiate with Iran on behalf of the international community in their nuclear standoff, although he didn't come to Tehran as scheduled amid warnings of a possible assassination plot.

Putin's planned trip, the first here by a Kremlin leader since World War II, raised hopes that personal diplomacy could find a solution to the impasse over the Iranian nuclear program, but he delayed his arrival, which had been set for Monday evening.

The Russian leader insisted to reporters in Germany that he was going ahead with the trip, but the Kremlin declined to discuss details. The official Iranian news agency said late Monday that Putin had only put off his trip by several hours and would be in Tehran early Tuesday in time for a Caspian region summit.

"Putin will arrive in Tehran at the head of a delegation tomorrow morning," the Islamic Republic News Agency said, quoting Iran's presidential press service.

Iran gave no further details, and Kremlin officials wouldn't comment on reasons for the delay or say exactly when Putin would arrive. Officials in Germany, where Putin wrapped up a two-day visit, said they could not say where the Russian leader was.

Putin's trip was first thrown into doubt when the Kremlin said Sunday that he had been informed by Russian special services that suicide attackers might try to kill him in Tehran, but he shrugged off the warning Monday.

"Of course I am going to Iran," he said after talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. "If I always listened to all the various threats and the recommendations of the special services I would never leave home."

The remark played into the carefully crafted image of a fearless leader that Putin has cultivated, and also appeared aimed at emphasizing that he is in control — not under undue influence from security officials — as he maneuvers to maintain influence after his presidential term ends next year.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini dismissed reports about the purported assassination plot as disinformation spread by adversaries hoping to spoil good relations between Russia and Iran.

Putin has warned the U.S. and other nations against trying to coerce Iran into reining in its nuclear program and insists peaceful dialogue is the only way to deal with Tehran's defiance of a U.N. Security Council demand that it suspend uranium enrichment.

"Threatening someone, in this case the Iranian leadership and Iranian people, will lead nowhere," Putin said in Germany. "They are not afraid, believe me."

Iran's rejection of the council's demand and its previous clandestine atomic work has fed suspicions in the U.S. and other countries that Tehran is working to enrich uranium to a purity usable in nuclear weapons. Iran insists it is only wants lesser-enriched uranium to fuel nuclear reactors that would generate electricity.

Putin's visit to Tehran, the first such trip by a Kremlin leader since Josef Stalin attended a 1943 wartime summit with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, is being closely watched for any possible shifts in Russia's carefully hedged stance in the nuclear standoff.

The Russian president underlined his disagreements with Washington last week, saying he saw no "objective data" to prove Western claims that Iran is trying to construct nuclear weapons.

Russia, which is building Iran's first nuclear power plant, has resisted the push by the U.S. and its allies for stronger U.N. sanctions against Tehran and strongly warned Washington against using force.

"Putin's trip to Tehran is a show of Russia's independence in global affairs. Putin, who approaches the end of his term, wants to demonstrate that he wouldn't cave in to the U.S. pressure," said Alexander Pikayev, an expert on Iran with Russia's Institute for World Economy and International Relations.

Putin emphasized Monday that he would negotiate in Tehran on behalf of the five permanent U.N. Security Council members — United States, Russia, China, Britain and France — and Germany, a group that has led efforts to resolve the stalemate with Tehran.

He said the group "can and must be patient" in dealing with the Iranian leadership.

"If we have a chance to maintain such direct contact, we will do it expecting a positive and, I will stress, joint result," Putin said. "Because Russia has worked and intends to continue to work with partners in Europe and the United States to achieve a common goal."

In Washington, State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the U.S. government expected Putin to "convey the concerns shared by all of us about the failure of Iran to comply with the international community's requirements concerning its nuclear program."

Putin's schedule called for meetings with hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the country's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. He also was to participate in a meeting Tuesday of the leaders of nations bordering the Caspian Sea, which are arguing over division of its oil.

While the Kremlin has shielded Tehran from a U.S. push for a third round of U.N. sanctions, Iran has voiced annoyance about Moscow's foot-dragging in building a nuclear power plant in the southern port of Bushehr under a $1 billion contract.

Russia warned early this year that the plant wouldn't be launched this fall as planned because Iran was slow in making payments. Iranian officials have angrily denied any payment arrears and accused the Kremlin of caving in to Western pressure.

Moscow also has ignored Iranian demands to ship fuel for the plant, saying it would be delivered only six months before the Bushehr plant goes on line. The launch date has been delayed indefinitely amid the payment dispute.

Any sign by Putin that Russia could quickly complete the power plant would embolden Iran and further cloud Russia's relations with the West.

But Putin's trip would be important for Iran even if it yielded no agreements. "It's a break in international isolation, a chance to show that Iran is an important country," Pikayev, the analyst, told the AP.

Iranian media also emphasized the importance of Putin's trip. "Iran can use the visit to lobby for getting our nuclear dossier out of the U.N. Security Council and Russia can strengthen its opposition to the U.S. through boosting ties with Tehran," the hard-line newspaper Resalat said in an editorial.

TOPOFF 4: Drilling "Terror" into the Minds of Americans

"If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it."

--Edward L. Bernays

The brainwashing of Americans is again under way, and at their expense. This TOPOFF 4 Exercise is a government Psy-op operation for not instruction, but indoctrination, through "Terror":

Psychological operation (Psy-Op): military actions designed to influence the perceptions and attitudes of individuals, groups, and governments.
This is right out of the military playbook on "propaganda". See for yourself here.

By running this "drill" America's new Homeland Security government is requiring the repeating of their national catechism of propaganda with force to brainwash Americans minds in two of the most anti-Bush metropolitan areas of the country:

"The number one threat to America is Islamic fascists, jihadists that want to kill us all, and threaten our way of life".
This is what is being "drilled" into state and local governments and the minds of "free Americans" particularly in these two cities this week. But the only ones threatening American's way of life and sober judgment are the ones behind this excercise who want Americans to carry REAL ID cards, be frisked at airports, ask permission to fly in advance (see article), have their passports "chipped", and support pre-emptive wars per the neoconservative agenda and sacrifice their sons and daughters on the alter of "making the world safe for democracy" while hiding their real motivation of global Democratic Jihad for a new world order and turning America from freedom to fascism.

Here is an article from the Oregonian vividly describing the exercise the people of Portland will be subjected to this week while they trying to carry out their normal every day lives.

Oh, and remember this. 9/11 and 7/7 happened during such "drills" at the same time, and in the same places. So sometimes these "drills" go live.

Terror exercise is all set to blast Portland on Tuesday

Posted by The Oregonian October 15, 2007 06:37AM

The bomb's in place. The terrorists are ready. The city waits.

As of 9 a.m. Tuesday, a lethal cloak of radiation will cover much of downtown Portland.

It's all make-believe, of course. But this week the city will be ground zero for the largest counterterrorism exercise in U.S. history.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff will be in town to personally oversee the exercise, with the help of Gov. Ted Kulongoski and Mayor Tom Potter. In all, more than 15,000 people from 275 organizations will be involved. Every emergency agency in the Portland area, along with 14 hospitals and David Douglas High School, will play parts in an event dubbed "Topoff 4."

Six years after 9/11, with the nation fighting wars on two foreign fronts, skeptics say such exercises only inflame the public. But federal, state and local officials say they need the complex drills to test their ability to work together during large-scale catastrophes. The history of Topoff shows those tests don't usually go well.

"We know that the world will be watching," said Chip Terhune, Kulongoski's chief of staff.

What the world will see is simulated dirty bombs going off in Portland, Phoenix, Ariz., and the U.S. territory of Guam, as federal officials test their ability to react to simultaneous terrorist attacks designed to stretch emergency resources.

Portland's fake bomb is staged to detonate on the Steel Bridge. But a grassy patch covered with banged-up cars, debris and a mock-up of the bridge near Portland International Raceway will stand in for downtown. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives will discharge an explosive at the site -- mostly for TV cameras.

Firefighters and police arriving at the site Tuesday will encounter lingering smoke and chaos, with as many as 350 actors in makeup playing injured and contaminated victims and, possibly, terrorists. As real journalists from around the world watch from a distance, fake reporters with the "Virtual News Network" will swarm the scene.

And the role-playing won't stop there. Chertoff, Kulongoski, Potter and Multnomah County Chairman Ted Wheeler also will behave as if the blast is the real thing.

Only the basic scenario is spelled out ahead of time, as other cities that have scrambled to keep up during past exercises have learned. State and city officials say they expect to be thrown a lot of curveballs.

"When you have an opportunity to test how far your entire system can be stressed," said Carmen Merlo, director of Portland's Office of Emergency Management, "you take it."

First drill in 2000

In 1998, alarmed by a deadly sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, Congress called for a national test of terrorism-preparedness every two years. Topoff, short for "top officials," was the program born of that mandate. It costs about $25 million a year.

The first drill in 2000, involving a covert attack using the pneumonic plague microbe on the Denver Performing Arts Center, exposed a long and embarrassing list of vulnerabilities.

The city's "Ten Days in May" effort was shut down after only 4 1/2 days, as the faux plague spread out of control. The national emergency-management system collapsed before state and city health officials even devised a plan to distribute antibiotics.

Greg Moser, a University of Denver professor of homeland security and former counterterrorism specialist for the Colorado Office of Emergency management, said nearly everyone walked away frustrated and a bit shaken.

Three years later, Seattle officials went into "Topoff 2" fully expecting things to break down. "We figured that was the only way to really prepare and learn," said Seattle police Capt. Mike Meehan, the drill's incident commander.

The exercise started to go haywire almost immediately. Everyone knew the scenario ahead of time: a dirty bomb in the heart of the city. Still, the first police and firefighters arrived without gas masks and radiation gear, forcing them to pull back.

Then a scripted FBI warning about a sniper and a possible second bomb left first responders confused, slowing their ability to get blast victims into ambulances. Because of conflicting data from different agencies about the contamination zone, Mayor Greg Nickels took an hour to order thousands to "shelter in place." Meanwhile, video conferencing equipment broke down, and officials realized they had no common emergency channel to relay urgent messages.

"There were literally hundreds of lessons learned," Meehan said. Many of the flaws were subsequently fixed. The city's hazardous-materials and SWAT teams, for example, came up with a strategy to deal with the threat of snipers at an emergency scene. But when it comes to communications and crowd control, he said, "there will always be problems."

Even as "Topoff 4" gears up, details from the most recent exercise, a 2005 simulation in Connecticut and New Jersey, have yet to be released. Last week, Homeland Security officials held a closed-door briefing with members of Congress who had demanded to see "sensitive information" presumed to be holding up release of the after-action report.

Oregon wanted exercise

Oregon was among 14 states to apply for the opportunity to host this year's exercise. In a 2004 letter to federal officials, Kulongoski said Portland has something other large cities with seaports and international airports lacked: "11 bridges that cross two rivers and support two interstate highways."

Portland's bridges add a new wrinkle to the challenge, said Bill McNally, national drill director for Homeland Security.

The state's application shows Oregon wanted the exercise, in part, as a way to acquire scarce resources. Large-scale drills are essential to preparedness, but largely unaffordable for state and local agencies. Merlo, Portland's emergency management director, said a $2 million federal grant will cover the city's costs.

Kulongoski has said the exercise is not only about terrorism, but about preparing for an earthquake or other disaster at every level of government.

Protesters may be at drill

Not everyone thinks it's just a drill. Conspiracy theorists have for months filled Internet forums and the ears of officials with their belief that President Bush will use the exercise as a front to declare martial law, then declare an eventual attack on Iran. Police expect real protesters to target the week's events.

Some, like 70-year-old Arlene Miller of Portland, worry the Bush administration has ordered the exercise to "go live," detonating a real dirty bomb and blaming it on terrorists. "I'm scared to death," said Miller, a retired Bonneville Power Administration employee.

When alarmists call the Oregon National Guard headquarters in Salem, officials are quick to tell them fewer than 40 soldiers will participate in the drill. In fact, the public won't notice most elements of the exercise at all, planners say.

Portland officials say they have received about 20 calls in the past month. "We try to make it clear that it's not a real radiological bomb," Merlo said. From there, callers are sent to 2-1-1, the city's Topoff information line.

When the "live action" portion concludes Wednesday night, the exercise will move to boardrooms and paper through Friday, concentrating on questions bound to emerge in the aftermath of a real dirty bomb.

How do you convince Portlanders it's OK to go back outside? What if cargo ships refuse to dock in an irradiated city? Would tourists choose to go somewhere else? Would property values collapse, prompting an exodus?

"In reality," Merlo said, "I think that's the part that's going to be the most interesting piece: How do we put the state back together?"

THE PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN USING 9/11 CONTINUES

U.S. Conducting Large "Terror" Drills This Week; More Propaganda and Psychological Conditioning

FBI to Participate in TOPOFF 4 Dirty Bomb Drill --More than 15,000 participants to take part in largest terror drill to date 12 Oct 2007 >From October 15 – 19, 2007, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will take part in a multi-agency national preparedness exercise known as Top Officials, or TOPOFF. This full-scale exercise [We hope!] will simulate the response to a radiological dispersal device attack. The venues for this cycle, TOPOFF 4, are [Phoenix] Arizona, Guam, and [Portland] Oregon. In addition, activities will take place on a federal level in Washington, D.C. In coordination with the Department of State, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia are full international partners in the exercise.

The following is from the anti-constitutional new office of Homeland Security (America's Gestapo). The real unstated purpose is for propaganda and indoctrination of the people and state governments (Phoenix and Portland being among the most anti-Bush in the country, interestingly) into the neoconservative agenda, the plea of "terrorism" to control all government actions toward a police state for "security". This will cost billions, and they confess that they have not published results of any "learning" in the past, because its real purpose is psychological. Do recall that major events like 9/11 and 7/7 happened precisely when "war games" and "drills" like these were being conducted--so heads up!

The TOPOFF 4 Full-Scale Exercise
A Rigorous Full-Scale Response to a Coordinated Attack
http://www.dhs.gov/xprepresp/training/gc_1179430526487.shtm

Taking place October 15-24, 2007, the TOPOFF 4 Full-Scale Exercise (T4 FSE) will feature thousands of Federal, State, territorial, and local officials. These officials will engage in various activities as part of a robust, full-scale simulated response to a multi-faceted threat. The exercise will address policy and strategic issues that mobilize prevention and response systems, require participants to make difficult decisions, carry out essential functions, and challenge their ability to maintain a common operating picture during an incident of national significance. As in a real-world response, agencies and organizations will deploy staff into the field and will face realistic incident-specific challenges, including the allocation of limited response resources and exercise actions needed to effectively manage conditions as they emerge. Planning and preparation for the exercise will also help strengthen working relationships between departments and agencies that are critical to successful prevention and response in real emergencies.

Extensive National Participation

The T4 FSE will involve more than 15,000 participants representing Federal, State, territorial, and local entities. For the first time, a U.S. Territory, Guam, will participate in the TOPOFF series, providing an opportunity to practice coordinated prevention and response activities between the continental U.S. and a U.S. territory. At the Federal level, exercise play will be marked by the coordinated participation of multiple agencies and departments. For example, in addition to response, DHS will be exercising prevention through its Terrorism Prevention Exercise Program (TPEP). In the weeks leading up to the full-scale exercise, law enforcement and intelligence community players will work the information gathering, intelligence analysis, and information sharing capabilities that help to thwart terrorist activities. In addition, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will mobilize around emerging public health issues related to a radiological emergency, and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) will run concurrent exercises to address global terror threats.

Exercise Scenario

The T4 FSE is based on National Planning Scenario 11 (NPS-11). The scenario begins as terrorists, who have been planning attacks in Oregon, Arizona, and the U.S. Territory of Guam, successfully bring radioactive material into the United States. The first of three coordinated attacks occurs in Guam, with the simulated detonation of a Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD), or “dirty bomb,” causing casualties and wide-spread contamination in a populous area near a power plant. Similar attacks occur in the hours that follow in Portland and Phoenix. An RDD is not the same as a nuclear attack. It is a conventional explosive that, upon detonation, releases radioactive material into the surrounding area. Although it does not cause the type of catastrophic damage associated with a nuclear detonation, there are severe rescue, health, and long-term decontamination concerns associated with an RDD. Real weapons will not be used in the scenario, but the response will be mounted as if they had been.

Gates vs. Cheney on Iran; Friction within U.S. Government

This is a story that broke Saturday in the U.K.. It is especially noteworthy in that U.S. press and media have had NO coverage on this. There is much more evidence that there is serious friction within the U.S. government on the war-mongering against Iran. Here Gates is opposing Cheney, and it is claimed that Cheney is being duly suppressed for usurping powers not his own. However, the article says that McConnell, who also works for James Woolsey's firm Booz Hamilton (major neocon contractor and outsourced Pentagon power), is close to Gates on this. Thus there is much more than what is reported, Gates himself is being controlled by the radical neocons, whom Cheney is in involved with, while it is stated that Cheney is being checked. Note who controls America's war powers in the government in all of this. Nevertheless the friction and resistance to open a war with Iraq is very good. A constitutional crisis (since Congress only has power to declare war, which Pelosi just invoked) is in the works, typical with this rogue government and usurping administration.

The man who stands between US and new war


Last Updated: 1:50am BST 10/10/2007

Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, has taken charge of the forces in the American government opposed to a US military attack on Iran, writes Tim Shipman.

Pentagon and State Department officials say Mr Gates has set himself up as chief rival to Dick Cheney in a bid to thwart the vice president's desire to bomb the Islamic state.

Defence secretary Robert Gates: a force for peace

Those familiar with internal battles in the Bush administration say Mr Gates has eclipsed Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, as the chief opponent of air strikes and is the main reason President George W.Bush has yet to resort to military action.

Pentagon sources say Mr Gates is waging a subtle campaign to undermine the Cheney camp by encouraging the army's senior officers to speak frankly about the overstretch of forces, and the difficulty of fighting another war.

Bruce Reidel, a former CIA Middle East officer, said: "Cheney's people know they can beat Condi. They have been doing it for six years. Bob Gates is a different kettle of fish. He doesn't owe the President anything. He is urging his officers to be completely honest, knowing what that means."

Officials say Mr Gates's strategy bore fruit when Admiral William Fallon, the head of US Central Command, charged with devising war plans for Iran, said last month that the "constant drumbeat of war" was not helpful.

He was followed by General George Casey, the army's new chief of staff, who requested an audience with the House of Representatives armed services committee to warn that his branch of the military had been stretched so thin by the Iraq war that it was not prepared for yet another conflict.

Gen Casey told Congress the army was "out of balance" and added: "The demand for our forces exceeds the sustainable supply. We are consumed with meeting the demands of the current fight, and are unable to provide ready forces as rapidly as necessary for other potential contingencies."

Mr Gates has forged an alliance with Mike McConnell, the national director of intelligence, and Michael Hayden, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, to ensure that Mr Cheney's office is not the dominant conduit of information and planning on Iran to Mr Bush.

Insiders say Mr Gates has ensured that Mr Bush has seen more extensive studies of the probable negative effects of an attack on Iran than he was privy to before the war in Iraq.

One CIA insider said: "Bush understands that any increase in real military hostilities in Iran right now could have a negative effect. Bob Gates is the only one opposed to it. He's the single person in the US government who has any standing with the White House fighting it."

"Islamo-Fascism": Fred Thompson Shills for the Neoconservative Agenda in First Debate

Question: What is the greatest problem and threat to America?
Answer: The greatest threat to America is Islamo-fascism. These are Islamic fundamentalists and jihadists that want to kill us all, especially Jews and Christians. 9/11 changed everything.
-- Unofficial Neoconservative Catechism required by the new republican establishment


Make no mistake, Fred Thompson is bought and paid for, another neoconservative shill, equally owned by the Israeli lobby. Israel Today reported this on June 6th:

Fred Thompson, US presidential hopeful and former star of the hit television series “Law & Order,” is scheduled to make his first visit to Israel in the coming days.

Thompson, who is said to have a fair chance of winning the Republican presidential nomination, will meet with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and various other senior officials during his tour of Israel.

Of the dozen or so candidates contesting the nomination, Thompson is among the most supportive of Israel.

Here again is the power of the Israeli lobby and neoconservatives, mostly Jewish and Zionist. Candidates that are establishment 'approved' must pass the muster not with Americans, but must be fully indoctrinated and approved by Israel and its imbedded dual-citizen officials within the government. The Zionist influenced media, with largely Jewish corporate heads, will also be sure to give these candidates more push and coverage. So Thompson shows himself to be another Israeli-firster and his commitment and oath to the Constitution and American interests are already compromised.

Fred Thompson, like Giuliani and Romney also, is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), like Cheney, a David Rockefeller organization pushing for world government and its key ingredient of a North American Union.
This is why not just anyone can become president of the U.S., they must have powerful "connections", and therefore loyalties, which immediately compromise constitutional law to a larger agenda subversive to America's legitimate government. (Democrats are members of the CFR as well, and also the Israeli lobby). Ron Paul is the only true conservative and constitutionalist that has no ties to these anti-American interests.

"Islamo-Fascism"

"Fascism" is a pejorative term to be taken and believed without thinking of its true definition of "centralized power", something that has no evidence in the Islamic world, or even in Iran. But it does describe the "Federal" Government in Washington (the term federal refers to limited and delegated powers from the states, not absolute central power).

The only "fascism" threatening America is what is being established by anti-constitutional "unitary Executive" power and legislated by a cowardly complicit Congress.
Key elements of Totalitarian Government and Fascism, like REAL (National) ID, USA PATRIOT ACT, Military Commissions Act, Domestic Spying, Homeland Security (America's Gestapo) have not been established by any Islamic "terrorists", but from the White-washed House on Pennsylvania Avenue and under the Capitol dome. 9/11 was used to "terrorize" Americans for this purpose, to usurp anti-constitutional powers over the American people and to hijack military power for a global Democratic Jihad of their own. The neoconservative fifth column, coercing and hijacking the republican party via Cheney and Bush, is behind it all. It is all THEIR plan, based upon THEIR ideology of a SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE SUPPRESSION OF ALL DISSENT. This is why a North American Union and illegal immigration amnesty is also part of their plan.

Thompson warns of Islamic fascism in debut debate
09 Oct 2007
Screen star Fred Thompson muscled into his debut 2008 presidential debate clash with Republican rivals Tuesday, vowing to repel a tide of "Islamic fascism" aimed at bringing down the West.

What is amazing is that some still believe this propaganda despite the lack of credible evidence. So here is an expose' on the term "Islamo Fascism" (linked to original at Lew Rockwell) and where it came from, and the neoconservative propaganda and ideology that it comes from, which comes not from American conservatives, but from disciples of Leon Trotsky! Anyone who repeats it, therefore, is reciting Trotskyist ideology and propaganda that continues to control and deceive Americans.

Springtime for Trotsky

by Daniel McCarthy

In most circles the word "fascist" is a generic pejorative, an epithet that conveys a moral judgment rather than a description. We Americans have perhaps become so accustomed to this use of the word that we don't even think about it. We should, because "fascist" in this sense was specifically coined by the Communist revolutionary Leon Trotsky to identify all of his rivals, even Stalin, with Hitler and Mussolini – and with "the right." Its use reveals the undying influence of Trotsky.

By calling Stalin a fascist, Trotsky and his followers could claim that "real" socialism is not a murderous ideology. They could further claim that all true threats to human dignity and freedom really come from the right. Although Trotsky himself had a rather fateful encounter with an icepick in 1940, Trotkyists today continue his fight on behalf of international social democracy. These days however Trotskyists prefer to call themselves "neoconservatives."

Over the past two months the word "Islamofascism" has gained currency. The term has appeared in National Review Online, The Weekly Standard, and at Andrew Sullivan's website, among other places. To a vigilant eye the word "Islamofascism" looks suspiciously like a classic Trotskyist coinage. You don't have to be a fan of either fascism or Islamic terrorism to wonder if there's more than meets the eye to this word.

"Islamofascist" was coined or at least popularized by Stephen Schwartz in his recent Spectator article "Ground Zero and the Saudi Connection." Note that within the article Schwartz singles out Stalin and Bolshevism for criticism, rather than Communism in general.

Schwartz, who now writes from National Review Online, is a hardly abashed Trotskyist. Here's how a one-time fellow traveler of Schwartz's describes him:

Schwartz's parents had been members of the pro-Moscow Communist Party U.S.A. In reaction against the Stalinist milieu he'd grown up in, he'd become a Trotskyist in his teens and eventually gravitated towards the left communism of the FOR [Fomento Obrero Revolucionario]. Schwartz and I agreed that all forms of Leninism were counter-revolutionary. This didn't stop Schwartz from intensely identifying with Leon Trotsky and blaming anything that peeved him, from bad weather to poor table service, on the machinations of "Stalinists".

By attaching himself to the FOR, Schwartz could gain notice among Trotskyists as the author of the most extreme left English language publication close to the Trotskyist spectrum, and guarantee himself a place in the future as a wax mannequin in the ludicrous icepickhead pantheon that was so dear to his heart.

And here is Schwartz in his own words, referring to information he gleaned from reseraching the Venona transcripts:

Dismissing questions about the guilt of Alger Hiss, Lauchlin Currie, and Harry Dexter White, Schwartz writes: "I am much less interested in the fates of these three bourgeois careerists than I am in those of such dissident revolutionists as Ignacy Porecki-Reiss, Andreu Nin and Leon Trotsky." "I have never understood the moral compass of certain U.S. intellectuals who consider the sufferings of White and Hiss, or of the heirs of Currie, to be more compellingly tragic than the assassination of Reiss, the death by torture of Nin or the smashing of Trotsky's brain by an ice ax" by Soviet agents, writes Schwartz.

For Schwartz, Stalinist assassinations are something of an obsession. He wrote a piece for the Weekly Standard earlier this year hypothesizing that Stalin murdered Frankfurt School theorist Walter Benjamin. From this article and his quote above it's hard not to conclude that Schwartz feels a great deal of continuing sympathy for Trotsky and the Trotskyists, and not just for the grisly ways they met their deaths. Was Trotsky's assassination really "tragic," as Schwartz says?

The Trotskyist pedigree of neoconservatism is no secret; the original neocon, Irving Kristol, acknowledges it with relish: "I regard myself to have been a young Trostkyite and I have not a single bitter memory." Nor is there any doubt about the influence – one might almost say hegemony – of "former Communists" on the post-war conservative movement. Just read the words of one neocon, Seymour Martin Lipset:

From the anti-Stalinists who became conservatives – including James Burnham, Whittaker Chambers, and Irving Kristol – the Right gained a political education and, in some cases, an injection of passion. The ex-radicals brought with them the knowledge that ideological movements must have journals and magazines to articulate their perspectives. In 1955, for example, William F. Buckley, Jr., launched National Review at the urging of Willi Schlamm, a former German Communist. In its early years, National Review was largely written and edited by the Buckley family and a handful of former Communists, Trotskyists, and socialists, such as Burnham and Chambers. It played a major role in creating the Goldwaterite and Reaganite New Right and in stimulating an anti-Soviet foreign policy.

Worthy of note is that while ex-Stalinists tended to denounce their Communist roots vehemently, neoconservatives like Kristol and Schwartz remain at least wistfully fond of Trotsky. It's also worth noting that the neoconservative preoccupation with exporting social democracy abroad through war and mercantilism reflects the original split between Trotsky and Stalin. Trotsky argued that there could not be "socialism in one country" but rather that the revolution had to be truly international. And so the neoconservatives push for "human rights" and social democratic governments to be imposed on Serbia, for example, by force of arms.

And so fifty-six years after the death of Hitler we're still fighting a war against "fascism" in one form or another. We're still fighting to make the world safe for (social) democracy. Somewhere in the bowels of hell Leon Trotsky must be smiling.

Postscript: I'm indebted to Paul Gottfried, whose lectures at the Mises Institute's History of Liberty conference inspired and informed much of this article.

Lockerbie Bombing a Cover-up; Iran Connection Alleged; Crash Evidence refutes Flight 93 Story




Recent news creating again suspicion over the Lockerbie Pan Am bombing official story, blamed on Libya, was reported today, that again adds prima facia evidence of the typical lies and cover-up of both government and media. The official story of Pan Am 103, like 9/11, is a fraud, where Libya was conveniently scape-goated to justify an agenda against "terrorists" of the government's choice. (Yes, and Princess Diana's death is even being run through a second cover-up dog and pony show trial today, which Charles Gibson on ABC derided tonight. The media is very complicit in maintaining political-correctness of all official stories, irregardless of evidence). Don't expect the official story to change here. Just note the incriminating evidence of a cover story that was conspired and crafted for the public.

Here is what was reported recently, courtesy of CLG's news feed:

FBI offered me $4m: Lockerbie bomb witness 06 Oct 2007 A witness in the Lockerbie case has claimed he was offered $4 million (£2 million) by American investigators to lie to the trial judges. Edwin Bollier, head of the Swiss company MEBO that was said to have manufactured the timer used to detonate the Pan Am bomb, claims he was offered the money by the FBI at its Washington HQ in exchange for making a statement that supported the main line of inquiry - that Libya was responsible for the bombing.

Lockerbie evidence withheld from defence 02 Oct 2007 Fresh doubt has been cast over the conviction of the Lockerbie bomber after it emerged a document containing vital evidence about the bomb timer has never been shown to the defence. The Scotsman has learned that the failure to disclose the classified document, which concerns the supply of timers identical to the one said to have been used to blow up Pan Am Flight 103, led a review body that examined the case against Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi to conclude a miscarriage of justice may have occurred.

Which led me to these two videos below:

1. Here in this first video, an Al Jazeera broadcast, we see the official story of Lockerbie is untrue, as Scottish officials testify. Also shown is ROBERT BAER, CIA, (of "Syriana" fame) states that Lockerbie was a "revenge" by Iran of the U.S. Navy "accidentally" shooting down Iranian Airliner killing 290 passengers in 1988. (We have not heard much about that, have we. Note how close the passenger deaths are between the two incidents; "eye for an eye"?).

Secondarily, one can see in this video also the difference between a genuine commercial airliner crash and the myth of flight 93. (See video and links in right column; Flight 93 did not crash in Shanksville, but evidence is was shot down or blown up over nearby New Baltimore, PA where debris and body parts were found). Note the size of the crater, debris field, portions of aircraft at Lockerbie--all identifiable--compared to a 15' hole with no debris in Shanksville.

2. The second video is about the buried story of the U.S. Navy shooting down an Iranian airliner in 1988, the murder of 290 Iranians on the way to Mecca, which Robert Baer above, refers to--a highly charged, provocative incident.

An Iranian Airbus A300 was shot down by the U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes, killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard, including 38 non-Iranians and 66 children. The Vincennes was inside Iranian territorial waters at the time of the shoot-down.




Pan Am Flight 103 was Pan American World Airways' third daily scheduled transatlantic flight from London's Heathrow International Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. On December 21, 1988, the aircraft flying this route, a Boeing 747-121 registered N739PA and named "Clipper Maid of the Seas", was destroyed and the remains landed on Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. In the subsequent investigation into the crash, forensic experts determined that 340 to 450 g (12 to 16 oz) of plastic explosive had been detonated in the forward cargo hold, triggering a sequence of events that led to the rapid destruction of the aircraft. Winds of 100 knots (190 km/h) scattered victims and debris along a 130 km (81 mile) corridor over an area of 845 square miles (2189 sq km). The death toll was 270 people from 21 countries, including 11 people in the town of Lockerbie.

THE US, UK & ISRAEL ARE JUST COLONIES


This article, and most anything by Makow (see his bio at the bottom) is worth reading in full. And if you are offended by what he says, remember that Makow himself is Jewish, so read closer before jumping to conclusions. Everything he states here is well documented. The message is this, that both political parties are controlled, and America is owned, not free, and big media plays a primary role in keeping it that way. The real purposes of the "war on terror" is easily seen once you understand the big picture which Makow helps unveil. Then be sure you watch at least part of the video below, which complements and establishes the message of this article so well.

[Video diclaimer: This is not an endorsement of all the contents of the video, only the mechanics and premise of its message about how America is controlled and wars are brought about according to a larger agenda].

THE US, UK & ISRAEL ARE JUST COLONIES
IMPERIALISM OF JEWISH CAPITAL PART 2

By: Henry Makow

Hardly a day goes by without a new article on the Internet blaming the Israel Lobby and neo-cons for the war in Iraq.

The power of the Jewish neo-cons is analogous to that of Communist Jews in the FDR era. Caroll Quigley wrote, "the power that these energetic left-wingers exercised was never their own power or Communist power but was ultimately the power of the international financial coterie." (Tragedy and Hope, p.954)

In my review of "The Red Dragon" last week, I presented the hypothesis that there is only one imperial power in the world: the central banking cartel. Because it creates money out of nothing, it is obliged to buy everything it can. It hides behind the mask of British, American, French or Japanese imperialism, Nazism, Zionism, Communism, etc. but essentially the same people instigate and finance all wars, and profit from them, at the expense of humanity.

The fundamental agenda appears to be that of the "The Protocols of Zion" (a "forgery" with amazing prescient power) "to undermine all collective forces not our own" by which they mean all nations, races, religions and family. They intend to sow chaos until an exasperated and exhausted humanity succumbs to their world "super government."

According to Red Dragon author L.B. Woolfolk, this ethnic-Jewish dominated "Money Power," operating through the Bank of England and countless corporate fronts, tied up most of the world's wealth as early as 1864.

They are colonizing the world, including the so-called imperialist powers. The most draconian repressive measures are taking place in England, the headquarters of this cabal. They created Israel not as a Jewish homeland but as seat of their future Masonic world government. They instigated the Holocaust to force Jews to support Israel. They may have used the Holocaust to mask the true character of WWII: an attack on Christian European civilization in general by a satanic heretical Jewish sect (the bankers) . They owned I.G. Farben , the backbone of the Nazi war machine, which used Jewish slave labor at Auschwitz.

The US has been a colony of this financial power for a long time. In 1919, Col. Edward House, a Rothschild agent, spoke of using the League of Nations for the [quote] "peaceful return of the American colonies to the dominion of the Crown." House writes: "The League is in substance the Empire with America admitted on the same basis as our other colonies."

The "Crown" is a euphemism for this private cartel. Col. House boasts that the "Crown" used U.S. Treasury loans intended for war purposes to buy up oil fields in California, Mexico and Latin America.

"The war has made us custodians of the greater part of the world's raw materials... [We] now largely control the oil fields of the world and thereby the world's transportation and industry."

WE HAVE BEEN COLONIZED

According to Wikipedia, "colonising nations generally dominate the resources, labor, and markets of the colonial territory, and may also impose socio-cultural, religious and linguistic structures on the conquered population."

We have not been invaded by a foreign army but by foreign capital. As Col. House intimates, they own a controlling interest in industry, and have used that position to buy the politicians, the media and education.

House described how their "entire system of thought control" was working relentlessly for the adoption of the League. But he could be referring to the Iraq War, Global Warming, the EU, or North American Union, today. I urge you to read this document because their tactics haven't changed.

Back in 1919, Col. House used Canadians and Brits to persuade Americans to join the League. He also used the elite-sponsored YMCA, Red Cross, and Salvation Army.

"The League's praises are thundered by our press, decreed by our college presidents, and professed by our professors. Our authors, writers and lecturers are analysing its selected virtues... we have enlisted 8000 propagandists for the League. We have organized international and national synods, committees, conferences, convocations, conventions, councils...to herald the birth of the League as the dawn of universal peace."

"Agriculturalists, bankers, brokers, accountants, chemists, and all other functional groups capable of exerting organized professional, business, financial or social pressure are meeting to endorse the League in the name of peace, progress and prosperity...Our film concerns are preparing an epoch-making picture..."

"In short, our entire system of thought control is working ceaselessly, tirelessly, ruthlessly, to ensure the adoption of the League. And it will be adopted, for business wants peace, the righteous cannot resist a covenant, and the politicians, after shadow boxing for patronage purposes, will yield valiantly [is this a threat?] lest the fate of the wanton and wilful pursue them."

COLONIZATION OF THE MIND: FAST FORWARD

Today, the bankers are fomenting war between Zionism and Islam as part of their world colonization plan. Iran is being targeted for its oil wealth, independence and belief in God.

As in the past, they use all available means of "thought control," Jewish or non-Jewish. Most people can be tricked by a slogan or bought for the price of a steady job.

Because they control the media, neo-cons haven't felt the wrath of the American people for Iraq; and are beating the drums for war with Iran.

Recently, the President of Iran was a guest speaker at Columbia University where angry Zionists picketed him. The President of the University, Lee Bolinger, called him "an evil petty dictator." Bollinger, who is a Zionist, apparently cleared his speech with the Israel Lobby.

Here is an example of how a university supposedly dedicated to truth has been subverted by organized Jewry to foment war. Throughout history, organized Jewry has been accused of being a Fifth Column. Unorganized Jewry needs to repudiate Organized Jewry!

Of the eight Ivy League universities, only Dartmouth has a President who is a white non- Jewish male. Four have Jewish presidents. The other three have militant feminists. (Feminism, today's version of Communism, envisages a total transformation of society.)

Let's see how this "system of thought control" works. At Princeton, Shirley Tilghman succeeded Judith Rodin, a Jewish feminist who is now President of the Rockefeller Foundation.

Tilghman is not Jewish but, according to an alumnus, she "has pursued an activist feminist agenda to remake Princeton into a liberal paradise ...Princeton is rife with political correctness, multiculturalism, and liberal groupthink."

In 1945, Dartmouth president Ernest M. Hopkins declared that his "is a Christian college founded for the Christianization of its students." In the 1970s and 1980s, Dartmouth entrusted "the Christianization of its students" to two Jewish presidents. In the 1990s, Harvard and Yale also selected presidents with Jewish backgrounds. By 1993, Jews headed five of the eight Ivy League institutions prompting some wags to refer to the "Oy Vei" League.

Whether it's education, media or business, the central bankers appear to regard Jews are trustworthy agents. This is not a racial thing. Jews that forget their task are fired. For example, Lawrence Sommers , the President of Harvard was replaced by a desiccated feminist (non-Jewish) after he dared to opine that men had superior scientific ability.

Of course the Freemasons are a prime example of a largely non-Jewish organization secretly devoted to subverting Western Civilization. In England, they have spawned a "charity" called "Common Purpose" which has recruited prominent people (educators, judges, cops, churchmen) entrusted to uphold democracy, sovereignty and the rule of law to undermine all three. They are run out of the office of the Deputy Prime Minister of the UK!

CONCLUSION

The New World Order is an extension of the imperialism of the "Crown", a clique of Jewish bankers and their Gentile accomplices devoted to "absorbing the wealth of the world" (in Cecil Rhodes words) and enslaving the human race.

We are being colonized by this financial power. The bogus "War of Terror" obviously is directed against us. It is the naked fist of this imperialism. Our jobs and resources are exported. Illegal aliens are imported to divide our poltical culture and dilute our job market. The education system is used for mass indoctrination. News is controlled. Entertainment is filled with trivia, drugs, violence and pornography. Obviously our masters wish to arrest our development.

In every colonial situation, the political and cultural elite consists of people who serve the occupying power. Thus, let's judge people not by their race, but by the service they perform for the invisible invader. And let's not confuse them with the real imperialist "Money Power."

The sooner we see ourselves as colonized, the sooner we can declare our independence.

Gun Owners of America Warns NRA, and Republican Congress, Compromising on 2nd Amendment

"The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both."
--William Rawle, U.S. Attorney appointed by G. Washington, 1791


This is not new and why Congressman Ron Paul calls GOA "the only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington". NRA, despite their poster celebrity Charleton Heston's "cold dead hands" rhetoric, has a pattern of ceding gun rights in increasing compromises. Here GOA calls them on it publicly. Shelly Moore Capito and other republicans should pay close attention.


It should never be a crime, as it is now, to be armed (i.e. concealed carry, registration permits, et al). It should only be a crime to make illegal use of arms, or the Second Amendment means nothing. The "security state" is replacing the "freedom state" that America once was, all under the tyrant's politically-correct plea of "necessity". FEAR is the weapon they use to create "must pass" legislation, as usual. Local talk show hosts have bowed to the same pressure. Eventually, West Virginia will become like Giuliani's New York City fascist police state instead of a place where "Mountaineers are always free". Think about it, and read this.

When you're done reading, watch this 4 minute video clip of what a Texas woman told the local government is the purpose of the 2nd amendment.

An Open Letter To The Pro-gun Community

Thursday, October 4, 2007


It may be a cliche, but it is true: This letter is written not in
anger, but in sorrow and concern. It is written to our friends about
NRA staff who, tragically, have taken a course which, we believe,
would be disastrous for the Second Amendment and the pro-gun
movement.

Two of us are Life Members of the NRA -- one of whom was an NRA board
member for over ten years. And our legislative counsel was a paid
consultant for the NRA.

So we certainly have no animus against the NRA staff, much less our
wonderful friends who are NRA members.

In fact, over the last thirty years, GOA and its staff have worked
with NRA to facilitate most of our pro-gun victories -- from
McClure-Volkmer to the death of post-Columbine gun control to a gun
liability bill free of anti-gun "killer amendments."

But those who staff the NRA, without consulting the membership, have
now made a series of strange and dangerous alliances with the likes
of Chuck Schumer, Carolyn McCarthy, and Pat Leahy. And we believe
that, if allowed to continue, this will produce anti-gun policies
which the NRA staff will bitterly regret.

Christ said, in the Sermon on the Mount, that "by their fruits, ye
shall know them." And, frankly, these fruits are not likely to
produce much pro-gun legislation.

Substantively, the Leahy/McCarthy/Schumer bill, which NRA's staff has
vigorously supported without consulting with its membership, would
rubber-stamp the illegal and non-statutory BATFE regulations which
have already been used to strip gun rights from 110,000 veterans. It
would also allow an anti-gun administration to turn over Americans'
most private medical records to the federal instant check system
without a court order.

But perhaps even worse, the bill was hatched in secret, without
hearings or testimony, and passed out of the House without even a
roll call. And now, the sponsors are trying to do the same thing in
the Senate -- in an effort to ram the bill through without votes or
floor debate, led by anti-gun Senator Chuck Schumer. If it is good
legislation, as its proponents claim, why such fears of a roll call
vote or debate in committee?

Indeed, in the face of horrific dissent from the NRA's own
membership, its staff has tragically ignored arguments and dug in its
heels -- in an almost "because-we-say-so" attitude.

Understand this:

* Passage of McCarthy/Leahy/Schumer will not quell the calls for gun
control. To the contrary, it will embolden our enemies to push for
the abolition of even more of our Second Amendment rights. Already,
the Brady Campaign has indicated its intent to follow up this
"victory" with a push for an effective ban on gun shows.

* Passage of McCarthy/Leahy/Schumer will not be viewed as an "NRA
victory." To the contrary, once the liberal media has used the NRA
staff for its purposes, it will throw them away like a used Kleenex.
Already, an over-confident press is crowing that this is the "first
major gun control measure in over a decade."

* Taking the BATFE's horrifically expansive unlawful regulations
dealing with veterans' loss of gun rights and making them
unchangeable congressionally-endorsed statutory law is NOT
"maintaining the status quo."

* We are told that the McCarthy/Leahy/Schumer bill should be passed
because it contains special provisions to allow persons prohibited
from owning guns to get their rights restored. But there is already
such a provision in the law; it is 18 U.S.C. 925(c). And the reason
why no one has been able to get their rights restored under CURRENT
LAW is that funds for the system have been blocked by Chuck Schumer.
It is no favor to gun owners for Chuck Schumer -- the man who has
blocked funding for McClure-Volkmer's "relief from disability"
provisions for 15 years -- to now offer to give us back a tepid
version of the provisions of current law which he has tried so hard
to destroy.

Finally, there is the cost, which ranges from $1 billion in the
cheapest draft to $5 billion -- to one bill which places no limits
whatsoever on spending. Thus, we would be drastically increasing
funding for gun control -- at a time when BATFE, which has done so
much damage to the Second Amendment, should be punished, rather than
rewarded.

We would now respectfully ask the NRA staff to step back from a
battle with its membership -- and to join with us in opposing
McCarthy/Leahy/Schumer gun control, rather than supporting it.

And, to our friends and NRA members, we would ask that you take this
letter and pass it on to your friends and colleagues.

Sincerely,


Senator H.L. "Bill" Richardson (ret.)
