The Greater Israel Agenda

Two recent articles by Paul Craig Roberts - important current events - CR

EXCERPTS:

"What kind of fool believes that the way to bring democracy to a country is to invade,
destroy cities and infrastructure, and kill and maim tens of thousands of civilians,
while creating every possible animosity by aligning with some members of the society
against the others?

The implication of a recent CIA report is that the U.S. itself is a state sponsor of terrorism.
According to the CIA, the U.S. invasion of Iraq has created a terrorist training ground for
al-Qaeda where no previous terrorists existed. The U.S. is creating more terrorists in Iraq
than the rest of the Middle East together.

"The reasons Osama bin Laden has a cause among Muslims are:

(1) U.S. military bases in the Middle East and

(2) Israeli practices such as stealing the West Bank
and herding Palestinians into ghettos."

The Greatest Strategic Disaster In US History

EXCERPT:

"All democracy rests on persuasion, which implies disagreement. Yet Bush and Condi regard dissent as disloyalty. They glorify coercion. They believe in their will alone. Where have we seen that before?"

Capitol Hill Blue, the Washington, D.C., publication that cultivates relationships with White House staffers, reports one White House aide saying, "It's like working in an insane asylum. People walk around like they're in a trance. We're the dance band on the Titanic, playing out our last songs to people who know the ship is sinking and none of us are going to make it." .
.
"If POTUS is on the road, you can breathe a little easier," says an aide. Otherwise, it is one temper tantrum after another from Bush, whose "cakewalk war" has turned into interminable conflict, whose idiocy in diverting funding for New Orleans' levees to war in Iraq was disastrous for the famous city, and whose Social Security privatization has been rejected by the electorate.
.
Even rah-rah Republican Newt Gingrich says the White House is surrounded by failure. No member of the White House staff wants to deliver news to Bush, because the news is bad. Bush demands sycophancy and equates bad news with disagreement and disloyalty.
.
Little wonder that Condi Rice was dispatched to Princeton last week to inform the university that democracy comes out of the barrel of a gun. U.S. military force, said the secretary of state with a straight face, is required to force democracy down the throats of the Muslims in order to save future American generations from "insecurity and fear."
.
Condi obviously doesn't want Bush to put her in the "against us" camp. She told Princeton that she agreed with Bush "that the root cause of Sept. 11 was the violent expression of a global extremist ideology, an ideology rooted in the oppression and despair of the modern Middle East."
.
Every American should be scared to death that a secretary of state can make such an ignorant and propagandistic statement.
.
Many Middle Eastern countries are ruled by puppets on the American payroll. Even the Saudis are under American protection. If there is oppression in the Middle East, it is because U.S. puppets and protectorates are doing what the U.S. government wants, not what the people they rule want. .The Middle East is in despair because almost a century after the First World War freed Arabs from Turkish occupation, they still cannot get free of U.S. and British occupation.

The reasons Osama bin Laden has a cause among Muslims are

(1) U.S. military bases in the Middle East and

(2) Israeli practices such as stealing the West Bank and herding Palestinians into ghettos.

What kind of fool believes that the way to bring democracy to a country is to invade, destroy cities and infrastructure, and kill and maim tens of thousands of civilians, while creating every possible animosity by aligning with some members of the society against the others?
.
Condi Rice's speech at Princeton has branded her the greatest fool ever to be appointed secretary of state. The same day that she declared, Mao-like, that democracy comes out of the barrel of a gun, Lt. Gen. William Odom, director of the National Security Agency during President Reagan's second term, a scholar with a distinguished career in military intelligence, declared Bush's invasion of Iraq to be the "greatest strategic disaster in United States history."

No one can impugn Gen. Odom's patriotism. When I wrote on April 1, 2003, that "the U.S. invasion of Iraq is a strategic blunder," the hate mail poured in from bloody-minded Bush supporters, who assured me that the war would be over in one week. Only a liberal pinko Bush-hating commie could fail to see that the war was won, they jeered.

Two and one-half years later with rising casualties and instability, no one can dispute Gen. Odom. As all news reports make clear, there is no trained Iraqi army. Consequently, says the U.S. commander in Iraq, the hopes that some U.S. troops could be withdrawn next spring is forlorn.

The Democratic Party is no help. Its warmongers are pushing legislation to increase the available U.S. troops by 80,000 in order that the U.S. can keep the war going in Iraq. . Many of these troops, too, will perish in the interminable conflict.
.
Meanwhile the U.S., which cannot occupy Baghdad or control the road to the airport, is making more threats against Syria. The Bush administration is blaming Syria and Iran for its failure in Iraq. "Our patience is running out," declared U.S. ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad.
.
The Israelis have told their U.S. puppet that if the U.S. doesn't use force to destroy Iran's nuclear energy programs, then Israel will undertake to bomb Iran. This despite the announcement by the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency that two years of unfettered access to Iran's nuclear programs has failed to turn up any sign of a weapons program.

When will Americans notice that the threats flow from the U.S. to the Middle East? No Middle Eastern government has made any threat against the U.S. or initiated any hostile action. In contrast, the U.S. has invaded two Middle Eastern countries and is threatening to attack two more.

Terrorism is not an activity of Muslim states. Osama bin Laden is a Saudi who dares not return to his homeland. Most Muslim states are too impotent to stamp out independent terrorists and too fearful that terrorist networks will be organized against them.
.
Ignorant U.S. officials equate weakness with intention and demonize Middle Eastern governments, including our own puppets and protectorates, as "state sponsors of terrorism." Isn't it ironic? The U.S. damns vulnerable Middle Eastern rulers for not stamping out terrorism when all the troops and violence the U.S. can muster cannot stamp out terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[NOTE: Will the REAL terrorist "wolves among us" ever be identified by the sheeple? The most common failing of the sheople is that they fail to see through the mask of the wolves in sheep's clothing who continue to pull the wool over our eyes. And yet, while the sheep are sleeping, the predators move in. Where are the good shepherds? -CR]

The implication of a recent CIA report is that the U.S. itself is a state sponsor of terrorism. According to the CIA, the U.S. invasion of Iraq has created a terrorist training ground for al-Qaeda where no previous terrorists existed. The U.S. is creating more terrorists in Iraq than the rest of the Middle East together.
.
Why is President Bush spending $300 billion running a terrorist training ground in Iraq?
.
Why does Condi Rice think that gun-forced democracy would wipe away the hatreds that the U.S. and Israel have created in the Middle East? How does she know that Middle Eastern democracy would not uphold terrorism against Israel and the U.S.?
.
In the U.S., democracy is upholding an illegal war based on deceit. In Israel, democracy is upholding crimes against the Palestinians. Does Condi Rice really believe that democracy, a mere political form, ensures that people and their governments never behave wrongly, immorally, or violently?
.
If America is going to preach democracy, shouldn't it lead by example? According to all the polls, the vast majority of Americans do not agree with Bush and Rice that democracy comes out of the barrel of an American gun. They do not support Bush's goal of using American blood and treasure to force democracy on the Middle East or anywhere else.
.
The majority of Americans want the war over and the troops home.
.
Why do Bush and Condi Rice oppose the will of the majority? Why don't these two who preach democracy practice it?
.
The Bush administration is the administration of deceit and hypocrisy. It is the antithesis of democracy. All democracy rests on persuasion, which implies disagreement. Yet Bush and Condi regard dissent as disloyalty. They glorify coercion.
.
They believe in their will alone. Where have we seen that before?

Subject: The Anti-Syria Scam by Paul Craig Roberts

The Anti-Syria Scam

EXCERPTS:

'Someone should tell Condi Rice that the game is up. With the Bush administration dissolving in illegalities committed by key officials in their attempts to protect the lies that they used to justify the US invasion of Iraq, the secretary of state is trying to ramp up war against Syria.

.

Grasping a UN report that uses unreliable witnesses to implicate Syria in the assassination of a former Lebanese government official, Condi Rice told the BBC on October 23 that Syria’s crime cannot be "left lying on the table. This really has to be dealt with."

.

This is amazing for many reasons. Here is the person in charge of US diplomacy acting as if she is the secretary of war unsheathing military force. Whoever heard of an American diplomat wanting to start a war because a former Middle Eastern government official was assassinated?'

The Anti-Syria Scam

Someone should tell Condi Rice that the game is up. With the Bush administration dissolving in illegalities committed by key officials in their attempts to protect the lies that they used to justify the US invasion of Iraq, the secretary of state is trying to ramp up war against Syria.

Grasping a UN report that uses unreliable witnesses to implicate Syria in the assassination of a former Lebanese government official, Condi Rice told the BBC on October 23 that Syria’s crime cannot be "left lying on the table. This really has to be dealt with."

This is amazing for many reasons. Here is the person in charge of US diplomacy acting as if she is the secretary of war unsheathing military force. Whoever heard of an American diplomat wanting to start a war because a former Middle Eastern government official was assassinated?

The UN investigator, Detlev Mehlis, has no more idea who assassinated the former official than the US knows who is responsible for assassinating the many Iraqi officials under its protection. After more than two and one-half years of war in Iraq, the US still doesn't know exactly who the enemy is that it is fighting. Yet Mehlis blames Syria for an assassination on the strength of an informer described by the German news magazine, Der Spiegal, as a convicted felon and swindler.

On the basis of the word of a convicted felon and swindler, Condi Rice wants a high-level UN Security Council meeting to condemn Syria so the Bush administration can bring about "regime change" in Syria.

With the US department of state doing everything it can to demonize and destabilize Syria, Condi Rice’s mouthpiece, Adam Ereli, declared that Syria must end attempts to destabilize its neighbors. This is the type of propaganda we were fed about Iraq. Syria is not destabilizing any country. It is all Syria can do to maintain its own stability. The US is the great Middle Eastern destabilizer.

Isn’t the secretary of state aware that the government of which she is a part is in dire difficulties because it went to war based on highly unreliable "intelligence" supplied by highly unreliable people?

Does the secretary of state read the CIA reports? Doesn't she know that the US has created extraordinary instability in Iraq? A country that formerly had no terrorists now serves as a training ground for al Qaeda, according to the CIA.

Is this the time to repeat the Iraq blunder in Syria?

The American people should be terrified by the warmongering ideologues that President Bush has put in charge of his government. The greatest danger that the US faces are the fools in the Bush administration.

Why is Syria being demonized? Syrian troops were part of the US coalition organized by President George Herbert Walker Bush that liberated Kuwait in 1991 from Saddam Hussein. The current head of government in Syria is a mild mannered ophthalmologist who inherited the post five years ago when his older brother was killed in a car crash.

Syria has done nothing to the US and poses no threat to the US. The Syrian government is concerned about Syria becoming unhinged by schisms like the Sunni-Shi’ite schism set loose in Iraq by the incompetent Bush administration.

Why does Condi Rice think the Bush administration has the right to decide who heads the Syrian government? According to news reports, the Bush administration has asked the Israeli and Italian governments to nominate a replacement for the current president of Syria.

A country incapable of choosing a better president than George W. Bush has no business choosing a president for any other country. In place of aggressive interference in the internal affairs of other countries, the US needs to find a competent president for itself.

Maybe we should ask the Italians who they would recommend.

Notable Quotables:

"If we get our butts kicked in Iraq, count on the Arabs then turning on Israel,
which can respond only with nuclear weapons. If we win in Iraq, count on
the same Arab/Israel response. That will draw in Russia, who will turn Israel
into a giant, self-illuminated glass parking lot. That, in turn, forces America to
respond in kind, since America now is run by zionists.
"Saddamed if We Do, Saddamed if We Don't,"
which I wrote back in November 22, 2002
seems even more relevant today -
http://www.conspiracypenpal.com/columns/saddamed.htm
In other words, World War III has begun, to the delight of both the Arabs and Israel,
both of whom think they will prevail when the dust settles.
America, as usual, is the giant pawn in play."
- Edgar J. Steele

BEWARE THE ZIONIST “GREATER ISRAEL” AGENDA
"A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils.
Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary
common interest in cases where no real common interest exists,
and infusing into one nation the enmities of the other,
betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter
without justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges
denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions;
by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained,
and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate,
in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld.
And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens
-- who devote themselves to the favorite nation --
facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country...
A small but artful and enterprising minority.... are likely, in the course of time and things,
to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be
enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for the themselves the reins of government;... This leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism.
The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men
to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an Individual...
[who] turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation,
on the ruins of public liberty.... founded jealousies and false alarms,
kindles the animosity of one part against another,
foments occasionally riot and insurrection.
It opens the doors to foreign influence and corruption."
- George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

"We must realize that today’s Establishment is the new George III.
Whether it will continue to adhere to his tactics, we do not know.
If it does, the redress, honored in tradition, is also revolution.
- Supreme Court Justice, William O. Douglas, Points of Rebellion, 1969

'OPERATION NORTHWOODS':

" . . . The Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. In the name of anticommunism, they proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch . . .

" . . . The plan, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees ... to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on [the target bogeyman], thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing they needed to launch their war."

Sound like a far-out Hollywood thriller? Actually, this is the real-life Pentagon scenario disclosed by declassified National Security Agency documents. Starring in the lead role was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, one Lyman L. Lemnitzer of the Hebrew persuasion.

Kind of makes you wonder how many other White House and Pentagon "thrillers" are still out there,
which have not yet been declassified!

For a complete account of this nefarious scheme by the U.S. government to terrorize its own citizens with random acts of bombing and murder, read Body of Secrets by James Bamford, the 721-page blockbuster expos?of the super-secret National Security Agency, in which this renowned author and investigator not only details "Operation Northwoods," but also thoroughly documents the U.S.S. Liberty atrocity perpetrated by the Israelis. Available in hardcover postage paid for $34 from: NS Publications, Box 188, Ottawa Lake MI 49267

When you're watching the shrill domestic terror alarms in the News, you can't help but wonder...
Is there is an enemy behind the enemy?

"In order to have complete control over the conflict of opposites it is necessary to control the creation of textbook enemies as well. That Hitler's Third Reich (the communist revolution, the creation of Israel, Saddam Hussein, Noriega, Bin Laden and much too many to list) were financed, supported and nurtured by Wall Street bankers, and/or the CIA and/or members of western secret societies is not coincidence 3. With the Soviet Union having run its course (capitalism vs. communism) through successful "synthesis" with the west, a new "antithesis" was already mature enough to take its place: Islamic Fundamentalism."
- Excerpt from: http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NewAge/social_change_agents.htm

Does the new "Homeland Security" agency (old FEMA) have a Gestapo agenda?

"The 9-11 Commissioners and Zelikow had deep conflicts of interest and many reasons to cover up the truth about Sept. 11. They are now engaged in a public relations effort to sell the official narrative and the war on terrorism. Both the official inquiry and the Commissions parameters were to support the official story and justify the creation of Homeland Security Department. Homeland Security in German is geheimstadt politza, which during World War II was abbreviated to Gestapo. Do Americans really believe a Gestapo will make us safer?"

Is there a plan and intent to cull the population as published in the CFR's "Foreign Affairs"?

"Underlying 'America's New War' is international 'population planning.' According to Rockefeller-directed population planners, additional depopulation must occur in advance of the New World Order. In the United States, according to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) March/April 1996, Foreign Affairs journal, plans to depopulate America by half to achieve a U.S. population in the range of 125 to 150 million, or about its size in the 1940s, are underway."

WERE WE BUSHwhacked?
Gov't Insider Stanley Hilton says Bush Authorized 9/11 Attacks
and that Cheney ran the operation.
Keep in mind, when reading this, that the man being interviewed is no two-bit Internet conspiracy buff.
Stanley Hilton was a senior advisor to Sen Bob Dole(R) and has personally known Rumsfeld
and Wolfowitz for decades. This courageous man has risked his professional reputation,
and possibly his life, to get this information out to people.
The following is from his interview on the Alex Jones' radio show.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.
They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country
and our people, and neither do we."
-- President George W. Bush, Aug. 5, 2004
in an apparent gaffe or a Freudian slip.

"Your enemy is not surrounding your country.
Your enemy is ruling your country."
-- George W. Bush [to Sadaam’s Iraq? or U.S.?]

"This bombing should remind all of us that there are enemies in this world
willing to kill innocent people to advance their cause."
-- President George W. Bush, Nov. 10, 2005
regarding the Nov. 9th bombings in Jordon

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition,
it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly
repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens
and creates a country where everyone lives in fear".
- Harry S. Truman

"Once a government resorts to terror against its own population to get what it wants,
it must keep using terror against its own population to get what it wants.
A government that terrorizes its own people can never stop.
If such a government ever lets the fear subside
and rational thought return to the populace,
that government is finished."
--Michael Rivero

"Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out
the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them;
and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
- Thomas Paine

Throughout history the burden of keeping the flame of liberty bright has
fallen on the shoulders of a few men and women. As Founding Patriot
Samuel Adams noted, "It does not take a majority to prevail ... but
rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of
freedom in the minds of men."
