The phony intelligence used to induce our March
2003 invasion of Iraq has been dusted off. This time
it’s being deployed to take us into Iran.
Same scam. Same storyline. Same fraud—even
featuring some of the same players.
Except that this time around their deception lacks
the broader context required to gain traction for
their phony content. That key difference makes today’s
perpetrators far more transparent—for those willing to
look.
Those foisting on us this latest fraud also face
another challenge: Americans now realize it was Israel
and its advocates who fixed that false intelligence
around a Zionist agenda.
That realization adds combustibility to the facts
now fueling Israel’s fast-fading legitimacy.
Each week brings new insights that undermine
generally accepted truths about 911 and our response
to that mass murder on U.S. soil. As the costs
continue to rise in both blood and treasure, the
credibility of those who sold us this “Clash”
continues its steady decline.
One key player in this long-running fraud remains
unfazed: mainstream media.
In March 2002, Israeli-American Jeffrey Goldberg
published in The New Yorker a story alleging
an alliance between the jihadists of Al Qaeda and the
secular Baathists of Iraq. Though an impossible
premise, his account made it appear plausible.
His collaborator was James Woolsey, a former
Director of the CIA and an avid Zionist. Woolsey
assured us that Iraqi intelligence officials met in
Prague with Al Qaeda.
Woolsey’s intelligence was “sexed up” to sound
credible. Now we know it was false. All of it.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on
me.
In the consistency and common source of this
duplicity lies the perilous future of Israel and its
fast-shrinking legitimacy as a nation state.
The fast-growing worldwide revulsion at all things
Israeli suggests that this latest fraud may yet
fail—though not for lack of trying.
The Liars Return
Goldberg is back with another round of “reporting”
in the best Goebbels tradition. Woolsey helped hyped
his 2002 New Yorker essay, calling it a
“blockbuster.” That it was.
Woolsey, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and
Richard Perle lobbied the Bush White House in May 2004
to retain Iraqi liar Ahmed Chalabi as the U.S.-favored
leader for Iraq. Perle took two decades to develop
Chalabi as an Israeli asset—at U.S. taxpayer expense.
New York Times “reporter” Judith Miller
featured as facts Chalabi’s fabrications about Iraqi
WMD. Meanwhile, Perle took over as chair of the
Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board in 2001—on which
Woolsey and Gingrich served. None dare call this
treason—yet.
Goldberg is now making the Evil Doer case for Iran.
Writing in the July 22, 2008 issue of The Atlantic,
he argues the Israeli case for bombing Iran and urges
that the U.S. again join the fray.
Woolsey, Gingrich and Perle are pushing the same
agenda from the periphery. Senators John McCain and
Joe Lieberman, among Chalabi’s earliest Congressional
supporters, are again vocal in their support of
expanding the war.
If the U.S. had an honest media, Goldberg would be
revealed as a fraud and his cohorts reviled as
traitors. Instead he was interviewed on MSNBC by
Andrea Mitchell, wife of Alan Greenspan, and lionized
by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer who served 17 years with The
Jerusalem Post.
The probability of Goldberg conceding that he
served in the Israeli army is as likely as Blitzer
conceding that he wrote a sympathetic book on Israeli
master spy Jonathan Pollard.
Our Faithful Ally
The November 2007 National Intelligence Estimate
confirmed with high confidence that Tehran halted its
nuclear weapons program in the fall of 2003. No
credible evidence has been offered that Tehran intends
to enrich uranium beyond what is required for fuel and
medical applications.
In a step scheduled for August 21, Russia will
assist Iran in shifting 64 tons of low-enriched
uranium from a storage site to the reactor chamber as
the first of three steps in the long-delayed start-up
of Iran’s nuclear reactor at Bushehr.
If all goes according to plan, Iran’s reactor will
begin generating electricity in three to four months.
As a condition of completing and fueling the plant,
Russia insists that Iran return spent fuel so that the
plutonium cannot be extracted for use in developing
atomic weapons.
To date, the Iranians have produced only 5,300
pounds of low-enriched uranium. Moscow sees this next
step as essential to bringing Tehran’s nuclear
activities under the auspices of the International
Atomic Energy Agency.
What’s the Israeli strategy for IAEA compliance?
Bomb Iran. What’s the U.S. strategy? Follow the lead
of our faithful and reliable ally.
Tel Aviv portrays the Iranian reactor as an
“existential threat” and a sure sign of a pending
Holocaust. How Likud Party leaders divine that outcome
remains obscure. But never mind that minor detail,
mainstream American media can fill in the “never
again” blanks.
It was during just such a development stage of an
Iraqi nuclear facility that Israel attacked and
destroyed a nuclear plant at Osirak as it neared
completion in June 1981.
Thus the concern that Tel Aviv may attack the
Bushehr facility before the reactor rods are lowered
into the reactor core. Any attack after the chain
reaction begins is certain to release radiation into
the atmosphere.
The Perils of Pending
Transparency
Other key factors are also driving Israel in this
direction, including the need for a diversion.
Tel Aviv is now implicated in the 2005
assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik
Hariri. The massive bomb blast left a crater 10 feet
deep and 50 feet across. To date, Syria has been
blamed for Hariri’s murder, along with Hezbollah.
The ensuing instability was cited by Israel as a
rationale for its 2006 invasion of Lebanon with the
U.S.—per usual—widely portrayed as guilty by
association.
A UN tribunal is now turning the spotlight on
Israel’s role. The tribunal will add fuel to the
ongoing inquiry into the suspicious death of UK
nuclear weapons inspector David Kelly who complained
of the “sexed up” intelligence on WMD that induced the
war in Iraq.
Meanwhile, ridicule is being heaped on the report
of the 911 Commission for its glaring omissions,
including its failure to identify U.S.-Israeli
relations as a key motivation.
Fast-emerging developments on other fronts also
spell trouble for Israel.
Even now, no one dares mention the mysterious
collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 which was
not hit by hijacked airliners. No one dares repeat the
comment of leaseholder Leonard Silverstein on a PBS
interview when he conceded the building was “pulled.”
Means, Motive & Opportunity
When waging Information Age warfare, false beliefs
are routinely deployed as a form of weaponry to
displace facts. That displacement process is much
easier when the psy-ops includes an emotionally
wrenching component.
Thus the necessity that those selling us an agenda
wield influence in mainstream media.
With Israeli dominance also reaching deep into
official decision-making, those in our military who
question today’s Zionist narrative are routinely
cashiered out of the service.
So who remains to counter the disinformation that
passes for intelligence? In our tattered system of
self-governance, who can deploy the facts required to
displace the fictions foisted on us by Woolsey & Co.?
Answer: you and those with whom you share these
facts and analyses.
The solution to this corruption requires people
willing to tell the truth about what is being done to
our country—and by whom. Make it personal—because it
is. What you see chronicled in these accounts is how
organized crime succeeds in plain sight.
In a system of governance dependent on facts for
our informed consent, mainstream media was an early
target of those perpetrating these ongoing psy-ops.
Their success traces to domination of this key
industry by supporters of this purported ally.
The facts are clear and the case is now compelling:
Israel is not an ally but a reliable enemy.
Goldberg, Woolsey, Perle, Gingrich, McCain,
Lieberman, Miller, Mitchell, Blitzer, Chalabi & Co.
comprise an army of agents and assets enabled by an
industry taken hostage by those destabilizing and
delegitimizing the U.S.—from within.
Should the Zionist state again approach us for
assistance—of any sort, the response must be clear and
unequivocal: never again.
