/> -- Manifesto of Anders Behring Breivik</p><p>War-making storylines tend to lose their steam. Sustained warfare requires more than just a plausible Evil Doer. A credible narrative is also essential. To remind us who to hate, who better than a murderous Nordic Muslim-hater?</p><p>Far-fetched? How many Americans had heard of the Taliban before March 2001 when destruction of the ancient Buddhas at Bamiyan was reported worldwide as a 'Cultural Holocaust'? Voila! An Evil Doer brand emerged and was soon repackaged as Islamo-fascism.</p><p>Six months later, an attack on U.S. soil left little doubt that outraged Americans would be provoked to war. Combine an emotionally wrenching mass murder with manipulated intelligence and an invasion was assured-of Iraq. That miscue required sophisticated pre-staging.</p><p>Residents of Washington, DC well recall the sniper attacks that left ten dead during the October 2002 lead-up to a Senate vote on a war resolution sponsored by Jewish Zionist Senator Joe Lieberman. Those well-timed murders ensured a heightened sense of insecurity and helped ratchet up the requisite hatred-to invade a nation that played no role in 911.</p><p>Remember the Times Square Terrorist? A car belonging to a Muslim was found with two WalMart propane tanks, an alarm clock, a box of fireworks and some fertilizer. When? In May 2010 during the lead-up to a UN vote on a nuclear-free Middle East-opposed by Israel.</p><p>To sustain hate requires a sustained stream of plausible reasons to hate. Plus careful maintenance of a 'generally accepted truth' that keeps attention focused on a credible threat.</p><p><strong>Preparing the Minds</strong></p><p>Islamo-phobia was a fresh threat when it first appeared in a 1993 article in <em>Foreign Affairs</em>. Yet it dates from 1990 when Princeton Islamic scholar Bernard Lewis, an avid Zionist, touted "The Roots of Muslim Rage." By 1996, Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington was ready to publish <em>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order</em>.</p><p>With more than 100 nongovernmental organizations promoting <em>The Clash</em>, Americans experienced a seamless segue from an old narrative to a new. Without missing a beat in Pentagon spending, we ended a global Cold War and, by consensus, began a global War on Terrorism.</p><p>Huntington argued that cultural and religious <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_%28social_science%29" target="_blank">identities</a> would emerge as the primary source of conflict. To gain traction, <em>The Clash</em> consensus required a series of events that could be plausibly blamed on Muslim Evil Doers. That was 15 years ago-a long time to sustain a storyline.</p><p>With Osama bin Laden dead and war-weary Americans nearing the tenth anniversary of 911, The narrative was losing its punch. Plus the storytellers face a transparency problem: Intelligence agencies worldwide have identified pro-Israelis as the common source of the manipulated intelligence that induced the invasion of Iraq.</p><p>What's a Zionist to do? Answer: look to past successes.</p><p><strong>Timing is Everything</strong></p><p>Ten days prior to 911, Tel Aviv announced a $1 million grant to Israeli super-spy Jonathan Pollard. Why then? The timing suggests Tel Aviv was signaling its operatives and <em>sayanim </em>(Hebrew for <em>volunteers</em>).</p><p>The Norwegian shooter is akin to the narrative-advancing snipers who emerged in the lead-up to the Senate vote authorizing the U.S. military to invade Iraq. In the lead-up to next month's UN vote on statehood for Palestine, the carnage in Norway freshened up a stale storyline.</p><p>This latest mass murder was committed on the 65<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the bombing of the King David Hotel in Tel Aviv. That mass murder was an operation of the Irgun, Zionist-terrorist predecessors to the Likud Party of today's Benjamin Netanyahu.</p><p>The same night that Israel launched its Six-Day War in June 1967, Irgun operative Mathilde Krim was continuing her torrid affair with President Lyndon Johnson-in the White House. Why then? Because that land grab ensured the roots of the Muslim rage required to shape future events.</p><p>Why would a Norwegian Zionist target Norwegians? For the same reason that Irgun Zionist Menachem Begin murdered Jews in the King David Hotel: to advance a narrative.</p><p>In September 2000, Likud Prime Minister Ariel Sharon led a provocative march to Jerusalem's Temple Mount. When, after a year of calm, suicide bombings recommenced, Sharon and Netanyahu warned that only when Americans "feel our pain" would we appreciate their plight. To feel Israel's pain, they said, would require that America lose 4,500 to 5,000 to terrorism, the initial estimate of those lives lost to a mass murder one year later.</p><p>The well-timed operation in Norway turned to mass murder as a means to remake the world order in plain sight. Those complicit specialize in maintaining a storyline that dates from when the medieval Crusades pit Christians against Muslims.</p><p>Absent the success of such deceit, we may forget whom to hate.</p><p><em>* <a

His quick reply was:</p><p><strong><em>"It's very good. Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)."</em></strong></p><p><strong>Game theory war-planners</strong> rely on mathematical models to anticipate and shape outcomes with staged provocations. For the <em>agent provocateur</em>, the reactions to a provocation-as well as the reactions to those reactions-thereby become predictable <em>within an acceptable range of probabilities</em>.</p><p>With ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan poised to expand to Iran and Pakistan, it is time to take a closer look at how conflicts are catalyzed-by way of deception.<br
/> <span
id="more-10203"></span><br
/> When <strong>Israeli</strong> <strong>game theorist Robert J. Aumann</strong> received the 2005 Nobel Prize in economic science, he conceded from Jerusalem, "the entire school of thought that we have developed here in Israel" has turned "Israel into the leading authority in this field." A professor at the Center for the Study of Rationality at Hebrew University, Aumann's Nobel lecture, titled "War and Peace," expounded on the rationality of war.</p><p>With a well-modeled provocation, a target's anticipated reaction can even become a weapon in the aggressor's arsenal. In response to the provocation of 9-11, how difficult was it to foresee that the U.S. would deploy its military to avenge that attack? With U.S. intelligence "fixed" by well-placed insiders around a predetermined goal, how difficult was it to anticipate that the reaction to 9-11 could be redirected to wage war in Iraq?</p><p>The emotional component of a provocation plays a key role in game theory warfare. With the nationally televised mass murder of 3,000 people, a state of shock, grief and outrage made it easier for Americans to <em>believe</em> that a known Evil Doer in Iraq was responsible-regardless of the facts.</p><p>For false beliefs to displace real facts requires mental preconditioning so that a targeted population can be persuaded to put their faith in fictions. That conditioning enhances the probability of a successful deception. Those who deceived the U.S. to invade Iraq in March 2003 began a decade beforehand to lay the "mental threads" and make the requisite mental associations to advance that agenda.</p><p>Notable among those threads was the 1993 publication in <em>Foreign Affairs</em> of a theme-setting article by Harvard University professor Samuel Huntington. By the time his analysis appeared in book-length form in 1996 as <em>The Clash of Civilizations</em>, more than 100 think tanks were prepared to promote it. The result created a widely touted narrative-a thematic storyline-supporting a "clash consensus" five years before 9-11 provided a plausible rationale for war.</p><p>Also published in 1996 under the guidance of Richard Perle was <em>A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm</em> (i.e., Israel). A member since 1987 of the U.S. Defense Policy Board, this self-professed Zionist became its chairman in 2001.</p><p>As an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Perle's Pentagon advisory post provided a powerful insider position to shape the national security mindset around the removal of Saddam Hussein, a key theme of <em>A Clean Break</em>-released five years before 9-11. That same year Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress at the invitation of Newt Gingrich, the Christian Zionist Speaker of the House.</p><p>Murders, books, articles, think tanks and well-placed insiders are common components in a "probabilistic" model deployed by war-planning game theorists. Lawmakers are also a customary ingredient. They provide credibility and a facade of legitimacy-a critical element when inducing a nation to war with phony intelligence fixed around a preset agenda.</p><p>That role was eagerly filled by Senators John McCain, Joe Lieberman, a Jewish Zionist from Connecticut, and Jon Kyl, a Christian Zionist from Arizona, when they co-sponsored the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998. By promoting Israel's 1996 agenda for <em>Securing the Realm</em>, their legislation laid yet another mental thread in the public mindset by calling for the ouster of Saddam Hussein-three years before 9-11.</p><p>The legislation also appropriated $97 million to promote their agenda. Distracted by mid-term Congressional elections and impeachment proceedings catalyzed by a well-timed presidential affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton signed that Zionist agenda into law in October 1998-4-1/2 years before a U.S.-led invasion removed the Iraqi leader.</p><p>After 9-11, McCain and Lieberman became inseparable travel companions and irrepressible advocates for the invasion of Iraq. Striking a presidential pose aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in January 2002, McCain-a son and grandson of admirals-laid another mental thread when he waved an admiral's cap and proclaimed, alongside Lieberman, "On to Baghdad."</p><p><strong>By Way of Deception</strong></p><p>The confidence with which this game theory strategy progressed in plain sight could be seen in the behavior of Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, another Zionist insider. Four days after 9-11 while in a principals' meeting at Camp David, he proposed that the U.S. invade Iraq. At that time, the intelligence did not point to Iraqi involvement and Osama bin Laden was thought to be hiding in a remote region of Afghanistan.</p><p>On that same day, San Diego FBI Special Agent Stephen Butler interrogated Iraqi Munther Ghazal at his home near San Diego to determine if he was funding Mel Rockefeller, an American with whom Ghazal traveled to Baghdad in early 1997. After meeting for several days with a top nuclear physicist with oversight of Iraq's mothballed nuclear weapons program, Rockefeller returned to the U.S. with a practical proposal for removing Saddam Hussein without this war and without triggering an insurgency.</p><p>When regional specialists at the U.S. Department of State would not meet with him, he traveled to Ottawa in April 1997 where he met with Middle East specialists in the Canadian government to ensure a written record was made to confirm there was an alternative to war in Iraq-six years before the invasion. Instead of debriefing him, FBI agents sought to discredit him. Though FBI agents interviewed Ghazal many times, they have yet to meet with Mel Rockefeller.</p><p>Agent Butler cashed checks and paid rent for the two San Diego-based hijackers who piloted planes into the World Trade Center towers. The same Iman counseling Major Nidal Hasan (with FBI knowledge) before he was transferred to Fort Hood also counseled the San Diego-based hijackers-with FBI knowledge. As of December 1, 2009, no one from the FBI or national security had debriefed Mel Rockefeller-eight years after 9-11.</p><p>See: <a

Hood Tragedy: The Real Story of the Terrorist "Mad Doctor Hasan"</a></p><p>When President George H.W. Bush declined to invade Baghdad and remove Saddam Hussein during the 1991 Gulf War, Pentagon Under Secretary for Policy Paul Wolfowitz imposed a No-Fly Zone in northern Iraq. By the invasion of March 2003, the Israeli Mossad had agents deployed for a decade in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.</p><p>Intelligence reports of Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda were also traced to Mosul-reports that proved false. Mosul again emerged in November 2004 as a center of the insurgency that destabilized Iraq. That reaction precluded the speedy exit of coalition forces promised in Congressional testimony by senior war-planner Wolfowitz in the lead-up to the invasion.</p><p><strong>An Inside Job?</strong></p><p>The common pro-Israeli source of the phony intelligence that induced war in Iraq has yet to be acknowledged even though intelligence experts agree that deception on such a scale required a decade to plan, staff, pre-stage, orchestrate and-until now-cover up. The leaders of the 9-11 Commission conceded they were thwarted by Commission members adamantly opposed to hearing testimony on the hijackers' motivation for 9-11: the U.S.-Israeli relationship.</p><p>The fictions reported as facts by mainstream media included Iraqi WMD, Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda, Iraqi meetings with Al Qaeda in Prague, Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories and Iraqi purchases of "yellowcake" uranium from Niger. Only the last claim was conceded as bogus prior to the invasion.</p><p>Only after the war began were the balance of the claims disclosed as false, flawed or outright fabricated. An attempt to punish former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Joe Wilson for his exposure of the phony yellowcake account led to a federal conviction of vice-presidential chief of staff Lewis Libby, another well-placed Zionist insider.</p><p>The multi-decade consistency of <em>agent-provocateur</em> fact patterns suggests that this game theory-modeled warfare includes the Israeli provocation that catalyzed the Second Intifada. An intifada is an uprising or, literally, a "shaking off" of an oppressor. The Second Intifada dates from September 2000 when Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon led an armed march to Jerusalem's Temple Mount-one year before 9-11.</p><p>After a year of calm during which Palestinians <em>believed</em> that Israel was sincere about peace, suicide bombings recommenced. As Sharon conceded, his march was meant to demonstrate Israeli control over a site considered holy by Muslims worldwide. In response to this second failed attempt at "shaking off" Israeli domination, Sharon and Netanyahu observed that only when Americans "feel our pain" would they understand the plight of the victimized Israelis.</p><p>These Likud Party leaders commented that the requisite empathy ("feel our pain") would require a weighted body count of 4,500 to 5,000 Americans lost to terrorism-the initial estimate of those who died in the twin towers of the World Trade Center-one year later.</p><p>In other words, only with pain could we identify with the Israelis. Does that mean that only with a mass murder could we be induced to respond with <em>our </em>military to advance <em>their</em> agenda? Was the U.S. response mathematically modeled at the Center for the Study of Rationality? Seven months after 9-11, Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech in a U.S. Senate office building where he was introduced by Senators Jon Kyl and Joe Liebermn</p><p><strong>American Valkyrie?</strong></p><p>When successful, game theory warfare strengthens the <em>agent provocateur</em> while leaving the target discredited and depleted by the anticipated reaction. By game theory standards, 9-11 was a strategic success because the U.S.-by its response-was widely criticized for waging war on false pretenses. Only in hindsight did a deceived public realize that Iraq had nothing to do with that mass murder. However, that invasion had everything to do with "securing the realm."</p><p>Our response (predictably) triggered a deadly insurgency with devastating consequences for Iraqis, the U.S. and a "coalition of the willing" led to war by a successfully duped U.S. From a game theory perspective, that insurgency was a predictable reaction in a nation populated by three long-feuding sects: Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds. A violent invasion led by a nation closely allied with Jewish nationalists only further fueled the flames of violence and extremism-another foreseeable outcome.</p><p>Until the U.S.-led invasion, peace was maintained by an unsavory dictator and former U.S. ally who was rebranded an Evil Doer in the lead-up to war. As the cost in blood and treasure from our "liberation" of Iraq expanded, the U.S. became overextended militarily, financially and diplomatically.</p><p>The sectarian violence unleashed in Iraq is precisely what Messrs. Rockefeller and Ghazal were cautioned against in early 1997 should Saddam Hussein be removed suddenly and violently. The 1.3 million Iraqi deaths from war-related causes exceeds the worst of Saddam Hussein's atrocities. As any competent game theory war-planner knew, the strategic winner in this war was certain to be Iran as the U.S. neutralized its key foe-and is now urged by Israel to wage war on Iran.</p><p>As the U.S.-the primary target of this deception-emerged in the foreground, the <em>agent provocateur</em> faded into the background. But only after catalyzing dynamics that steadily drained the U.S. of credibility, resources and resolve. This "probabilistic" Israeli victory also ensured widespread cynicism, insecurity, distrust and disillusionment along with a steadily declining capacity to defend our real interests.</p><p>Meanwhile the American public came under a system of oversight and surveillance packaged and sold as "homeland security." This ominously titled operation includes rhetorical echoes of a WWII-era "fatherland" featuring a domestic security force completely alien to U.S. traditions. It is not yet clear whether this new agency was established to protect Americans. Or whether it is meant to shield <em>from</em> Americans those responsible for deceiving us to wage <em>their</em> wars.</p><p>In January 2003, Secret Service Agent Richard Sierze interrogated Mel Rockefeller at his home in Fresno, California after he sent an email to Florida Governor Jeb Bush. The email said, in effect, that if the governor's brother (President George Bush) did not interview him on a public record <em>prior to invading Iraq</em>, he would do his best to ensure that lawful means were deployed to see the president executed for treason by a firing squad.</p><p>When questioned by Sierze, Rockefeller offered to have the agent speak with Dr. Glenn Olds, an adviser to four presidents, his senior adviser since 1994 and a former U.N. Ambassador who assisted him in entering Iraq through Jordon at a time when Americans were prohibited from traveling there. Sierze declined.</p><p>He also repeated his intent to see the president executed for treason and insisted that he be charged and taken before a federal magistrate to present evidence that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and that an alternative to war had been available since early 1997. Agent Sierze declined his demand to be arraigned in a U.S. Federal District Court-seven weeks before the invasion.</p><p>Agent Sierze should be interviewed to see if, in retrospect, he agrees that-had this advice been followed-the war in Iraq may well have been prevented. To date, no one with line responsibility has interviewed Mel Rockefeller on a public record. Why? The answer to that question would reveal those responsible for this ongoing deception.</p><p>The victims of these serial deceptions, including the families of those murdered in November at Fort Hood, may have a wrongful death cause of action against those with line responsibility who aided these operations by failing to engage the Rockefeller record in a timely fashion.</p><p><strong>Foreseeable Futures</strong></p><p>By manipulating the shared mindset, skilled game theory war-planners can wage wars on multiple fronts with minimal resources. One proven strategy: Pose as an ally of a well-armed nation predisposed to deploy its military in response to a mass murder.</p><p>In this case, the result destabilized Iraq while creating (predictable) crises that could be exploited to greater strategic advantage by expanding the conflict to Iran, another Israeli goal announced in <em>A Clean Break</em>-seven years before the invasion of Iraq.</p><p>Today's mathematically model-able outcomes undermined U.S. national security by discrediting our leadership, degrading our financial condition and disabling our political will. In game theory terms, this devastation was perfectly predictable-<em>within an acceptable range of probabilities</em>.</p><p>Pakistan is primed to emerge as the next battleground for game theory war-planners. When India, an ally of Israel, became the nation honored by the Obama administration's first state dinner, that occasion gave reason for concern due to the dynamics already at work in the background.</p><p>See <a
href="http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2009/11/11/what-is-israels-role-in-the-destabilization-of-pakistan/">"What Is Israel's Role in the Destabilization of Pakistan?"</a></p><p>In the asymmetry that typifies modern warfare, those who are few in number have no alternative when pursuing an expansionist agenda but to wage their wars <em>by way of deception</em>. To maintain its perceived status as a perennial victim, Israeli aggression must proceed non-transparently. Its only option is to operate with duplicitous means, including leveraging the power of its insider influence to advance an agenda from the shadows.</p><p>Thus the strategic necessity that this extremist enclave befriend the U.S.-with the intent to betray that friendship to advance its geopolitical goals. Thus the strategic need to create a relationship of trust with a post-WWII super power-in order to defraud us. How else could Colonial Zionists wage their wars except with <em>our </em>military? How else could Jewish nationalists induce our aggression absent the widely shared belief that Israel is not an aggressor but a victim?</p><p><strong>Winning Wars from the Inside Out</strong></p><p>Game theory war-planners manipulate the shared mental environment by shaping the perceptions and impressions that become consensus opinions. With a combination of well-timed crises, fixed intelligence and a complicit media, policy-makers can be induced to support a predetermined agenda-not because lawmakers are Evil Doers but because the public mindset has been pre-conditioned to respond to manipulated thoughts, emotions and beliefs.</p><p>Without the mass murder of 9-11, would America's credibility be in tatters and its creditworthiness in jeopardy? By steadily displacing facts with false beliefs, those duplicitous few-within-the-few amplify the impact of their deceit. By their steady focus on the mental environment, game theory war-planners can defeat an opponent with vastly superior resources.</p><p>Today's intelligence wars are waged in plain sight and under the cover of shared beliefs. By manipulating consensus opinion, psy-ops wars can be won <em>from the inside out</em> by inducing a targeted populace to freely choose the very forces that imperil their freedom.</p><p>Thus in the Information Age the disproportionate power wielded by those with outsized influence in media, popular culture, think tanks, academia and politics-domains where Zionist influence is pervasive not only in the U.S. but also in other nations induced to war on false pretenses.</p><p>Germany offers a case study in manipulation of the public mindset in plain sight and under the banner of a free press. In 2003, Zionist media mogul Haim Saban acquired the second largest media conglomerate in Germany. Why? As Saban investment banker Steve Rattner explained his client's motivation: "Because Germany is important to Israel." Or, as Saban concedes: "I have only one issue and that issue is Israel."</p><p>By 2005, Saban had succeeded in electing Angela Merkel as German Chancellor. She quickly became the European Union's most reliable and forceful advocate for Israel. By November 2009, she was prepared to sponsor in Berlin an unprecedented joint session of the German and Israeli governments. Following his political success in Germany, Saban acquired in 2007 a controlling interest in Univision, a Latino-focused network serving the fastest-growing voting bloc in the U.S.</p><p>Media manipulation serves as an essential force-multiplier to wage intelligence wars from the periphery or, as with Haim Saban, in plain sight. At the operational core of such psy-ops are game theory war-planners skilled at personality profiling and masterful at anticipating responses to staged provocations and then incorporating those responses into <em>their </em>arsenal.</p><p>In the case of Iraq, our (mathematically) foreseeable response to 9-11 led, in practical effect, to Israel's deployment of <em>our </em>military to invade Iraq. For aggressors adept at psy-ops warfare, facts are only an inconvenience to be overcome when waging war by way of deception. Thus the key role played by consensus-shapers featured in mainstream media outlets who focus not on informing the public but on mental conditioning.</p><p>For targeted populations dependent on facts and informed consent to protect their freedom and preserve the rule of law, such treachery poses the greatest possible threat. Yet even now many Americans <em>believe </em>that Israel is not an aggressor but a victim and even an ally despite facts confirming a multi-decade pattern of expansionist nationalism and geopolitical deception.</p><p><strong>Adhering to an Enemy</strong></p><p>The U.S. is far less secure than before 9-11. Tel Aviv clearly intends to continue its serial provocations as evidenced by its ongoing expansion of settlements and its continuing blockade of Gaza. Israel has shown no willingness to negotiate in good faith. With few exceptions, Barack Obama has named as senior advisers either Zionists are those known to be strongly pro-Israeli.</p><p>The greatest threat to world peace is not Islam. The most fundamental threat that underlies all others is our "special relationship" with a skilled <em>agent provocateur</em>. Without U.S. support for an enclave of nuclear-armed religious extremists, the common source of this threat could long ago have been identified and steps taken to ensure its containment.</p><p>In the same way that lengthy pre-staging was required to induce the U.S. to invade Iraq, a similar strategy is now underway to persuade the U.S. to invade Iran or support an attack by Israel. Pakistan is also now on the agenda of those marketing <em>The Clash</em> narrative with its vision of a perpetual war against "militant Islam." Similar mental conditioning is again at work, including the high profile branding of the requisite Evil Doer: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinajad.</p><p>From its outset, the Zionist enterprise sought supremacy in the Middle East. To date, its alliance with the U.S. has enabled the deployment of American military might in pursuit of goals set by Jewish nationalists more than a half-century before a Christian Zionist U.S. president was induced to extend nation-state recognition. Harry Truman made that fateful decision despite his fears that Israel would become what Zionist lobbyists assured him it would not become-and what it immediately became: a racist and theocratic state.</p><p>Only one nation had the means, motive, opportunity and stable nation state intelligence required to take the U.S. to war in the Middle East while making it appear that Islam-not Israel-is the problem. When a long-deceived American public-especially the U.S. military-grasps the common source of this devastating duplicity, the response will shift the geopolitical landscape. The facts suggest that "sympathy for Israel" is not among the probable reactions.</p><p>If Barack Obama continues to cater to these extremists, this Nobel peace laureate can rightly be blamed when the next attack features the usual orgy of evidence pointing to a pre-staged Evil Doer. Should another mass murder occur, that incident may well be traceable to the U.S.-Israeli relationship and to the failure of our policy-makers to protect America-and world peace-from this enemy within.</p><p>See also:</p><p><a

It’s far more serious than that.</p><p>To renew Bush-era tax cuts for our most well-to-do 2% would reduce U.S. government revenues by $700 billion over the decade. That shortfall will need to be borrowed.</p><p>Or we could provide college scholarships to 14 million U.S. high school students. Or tuition, room and board for about half of today’s college students.</p><p>$700 billion is also the interest expense on the $3 trillion that the U.S. is projected to borrow to fund the long-term costs of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of that interest paid to individuals, care to guess what portion finds its way to the topmost 2%?</p><p>$700 billion is also the amount authorized in October 2008 to stabilize the financial sector as part of the Troubled Assets Relief Program.</p><p>To boost liquidity, the Federal Reserve just announced $600 billion in “quantitative easing” over the next six months. That sum could be increased by another $300 billion.<br
/> <span
id="more-9504"></span><br
/> A December 1<sup>st</sup> report brought news that, from March 2008 to May 2009, the Fed extended nearly $9 trillion in short-term loans to 18 financial institutions.</p><p>That’s our full faith and credit at work making the world safe for financial markets. And for the elite of Wall Street. To show their gratitude to the American public, the financial sector just paid themselves $144 billion in year-end bonuses.</p><p>Meanwhile long-term unemployment is the worst since the Great Depression and fiscal disorder is now commonplace at the federal, state and local level.</p><p>States and municipalities have around $2.8 trillion of outstanding bonds. That debt is dwarfed by debts that are off the books, including as much as $3.5 trillion in pension shortfalls.  The situation resembles the run-up to the subprime mortgage meltdown</p><p>Meanwhile, the first of 78 million Baby Boomers born between 1946 and 1964 reach age 65 in 2011. This demographic bubble ensures fiscal strains unlike anything the U.S. has ever experienced.</p><p><strong>Breaking the Habit</strong></p><p>The topmost few have fared well over the past three decades. Then there’s everyone else.</p><p>In 1981, a $872 billion tax cut and investment stimulus helped expand national net worth by $5 trillion from 1983 to 1989. 54% was claimed by the half million families who make up the top one-half of one percent of the U.S. population.</p><p>That works out to an average $5.4 million gain per already-wealthy household. That’s a $65,000 increase in wealth per month or $90 per hour, 24 hours a day.</p><p>As with our wars, that surge in personal wealth was financed with debt. While the public got the debt, the well-to-do got ownership of the assets financed with that debt, along with the bulk of the interest.</p><p>That boost to personal wealth dates to when the stock market was a fraction of what it is today. Now the top 1% have a combined net worth greater than the bottom 90 percent.</p><p>The top 1% own 34% of all private net worth; the bottom 90% own 29%.</p><p>From 2002-2006, the topmost one percent received two-thirds of the gains in national income. That trend has remained steady over three decades.</p><p>During the 1977-1989 period, the top 1% claimed 70% of the increase in household income. The U.S. is now witnessing its widest ever disparities in wealth and income.</p><p>Reagan-era “supply-side” economics was marketed with campaign rhetoric remarkably similar to what we hear again today.</p><p>Reagan policies doubled the national debt in just one year.</p><p><strong>Financial Reality</strong></p><p>Over the past several decades, financial freedom has emerged as a proxy for personal freedom and the pursuit of financial returns as a proxy for the pursuit of happiness.</p><p>The economic environment changed such that those values not calculable in money are, by design, displaced. While that may not be what we want, that’s what we were schooled to do.</p><p>The trends confirm steadily increasing disparities in both wealth and income. Much as concentrated wealth undermines democracies, concentrated income undermines markets.</p><p>Americans do not yet grasp how this money-myopic mindset worked its way into education and imbedded itself in law. Yet our shared embrace of a “consensus” mindset induces us to freely embrace the very forces that now jeopardize our freedom.</p><p>There are no winners in this model, only creditors and debtors. The trends are not even good for the financially well-to-do. Lawmakers are right to worry that civil disorder is emerging as a possibility in reaction to growing social discontent.</p><p>Lacking the political will to address this steady dissolution of civil society, the U.S. faces increasing instability. How Americans respond will define what America becomes.</p><p>Should the union dissolve, the seeds of its destruction will be traceable to this shared mindset.</p><p><em>* <a

Others as the epitome of the most sacred of liberty's principles: the right to know.</p><p>Yet the real story here is not what's revealed but what's withheld. The marvel is not what we now know but what is already known that is left unsaid. And what's given an interpretive spin by those newspapers granted priority access.</p><p>The facts suggest that WikiLeaks is less about the right to know than the right to deceive.</p><p>Take for example the release of diplomatic cables on the August 2008 war between Georgia and Russia and the interpretative gloss given by <em>The New York Times</em>.<br
/> <span
id="more-9447"></span><br
/> Ashkenazi General David Kezerashvili returned to Georgia from Tel Aviv to lead an assault on separatists in South Ossetia with the support of Israeli arms and Israeli training. That crisis reignited Cold War tensions between the U.S. and Russia.</p><p>Then as now, it appeared there was a possibility of resolving Israel's six-decade occupation of Palestine. At that time, The Quartet was coordinating the peace-making efforts of Russia and the U.S. along with the European Union and the United Nations.</p><p>Tel Aviv was not pleased.</p><p>Then as now, efforts to broker a peace were thwarted by creating a crisis within a coalition of those willing to invest their geopolitical capital to end a conflict that has long served its Zionist purpose as a source of other conflicts.</p><p>The resulting rift between the U.S. and Russia ensured some well-timed entropy and reduced the possibility of ending a decades-long occupation. Then as now, that occupation must end to bring peace to the region.</p><p><strong>The Sound of Silence</strong></p><p>Without that broader context, it's not possible to isolate the motivation for that well-timed war. Yet the cables released by WikiLeaks say nothing about that. Nor does <em>The New York Times</em>.</p><p>Nor do the cables mention Tel Aviv's interest in a pipeline across Georgia meant to move Caspian oil through Turkey and on to Eurasia, using Israel as a fee-collecting intermediary.</p><p>As with so much that is left "un-leaked," the silence is telling.</p><p>What is leaked is accurately reported: "Official Georgian versions of events were passed to Washington largely unchallenged." Yet <em>The Times</em> says nothing about the undisclosed bias motivating that behavior. That silence is deceptive.</p><p>Instead <em>Times</em> reporter C.J. Chivers notes only that the bombardments by Georgia of South Ossetia "plunged Georgia into war, pitting the West against Russia in a standoff over both Russian military actions and the behavior of a small nation that the United States had helped arm and train."</p><p>Now as then, there's no mention in the paper of record of the role played by an Ashkenazi general, the Israeli training of Georgian troops or the arms and equipment that Israel provided.</p><p>Tel Aviv must be pleased.</p><p><strong>The Greatest Threat to Peace</strong></p><p><em>The Times</em> notes "the reliance on one-sided information" as Georgian President Saakashvili told the U.S. Ambassador "the Russians are out to take over Georgia and install a new regime."</p><p>After the Russian Army dealt the Israeli-trained Georgians a quick defeat, President George W. Bush, as the U.S. economy was sliding into a recession, announced a $1 billion aid package to help Georgia rebuild. Rest assured those funds were borrowed.</p><p>In the netherworld where Colonial Zionists excel in catalyzing well-timed crises and generating interest-bearing debt, WikiLeaks has already achieved iconic status. Much as The Quartet faded into memory, the peace talks that showed promise just last week have been displaced by talk of yet another crisis-with Iran.</p><p>For those skilled at gaining traction for a storyline and then advancing a narrative, WikiLeaks is akin to a script doctor. With <em>The Clash of Civilizations</em> losing traction, this latest crisis helped put it back on track.</p><p>Only time will tell if this traction suffices to take the "coalition of the willing" from Iraq and Afghanistan into Iran. Occasionally those played for the fool turn their attention to the deceiver. An October 2003 poll of 7,500 respondents in the European Union found that Israel was considered the greatest threat to world peace.</p><p>The U.S. military is not without considerable knowledge confirming the common source of the fixed intelligence that induced America to invade Iraq.</p><p>With the Israel lobby seeking to induce the U.S. into Iran, events may take an unprecedented turn. A coalition of the willing might well be persuaded to secure Palestine along its 1967 borders with troops deployed to protect Jerusalem as a site of significance to three major faith traditions.</p><p>Should the U.S. Commander-in-Chief decide to earn his Nobel peace prize, he may order U.S. troops to secure the only known nuclear arsenal in the Middle East.</p><p>Tel Aviv will not be pleased.</p><p><em>This is the fourth in a series chronicling the disinformation/espionage component of WikiLeaks.

href="http://sabbah.biz">Sabbah Report</a> | <a
href="http://www.sabbah.biz">www.sabbah.biz</a></strong></p><p>The U.S. is under attack by an enemy within. Skilled at game theory  warfare, this foe targets the most sensitive realm of U.S. national  security: its relations with other nations.</p><p>The online publication of a quarter-million documents chronicling  diplomatic exchanges is notable both for what’s omitted and what’s  included. To determine whether this latest release was a form of  espionage, analysts need only examine how this treasure trove of trivia  was peppered with documents certain to damage U.S. relations.</p><p>To identify its origins, analysts must answer a key question: Cui Bono? To whose benefit?<br
/> <span
id="more-9436"></span><br
/> One clue: the release of degrading and insulting language about  Turkish leaders soon after they insisted in late October that the U.S.  no longer share Turkish intelligence with Tel Aviv.</p><p>That request from a valued ally marks a critical step in isolating  Israel by requiring that the U.S. shut down Israeli operations inside  its 16 intelligence agencies, the White House and the Intelligence  Committees in both the House and Senate. Tel Aviv was not pleased.</p><p>Turks remain outraged at the lack of accountability for the  execution-style killing by Israel Defense Forces of nine Turkish  citizens aboard a humanitarian ship that was boarded in international  waters while sailing to Gaza with provisions to relieve an Israeli  siege.</p><p>Was this release a tit-for-tat, Tel Aviv style? Is WikiLeaks the  visible face of an Israeli disinformation campaign? Whose interests were  served by disrupting U.S.-Turkish relations?</p><p><strong>Intent is Determinative</strong></p><p>A leak on this scale is only a leak if it is a random data dump. If  items were purposely included or excluded based on their intended  effect, it’s an intelligence operation. Former National Security Adviser  Zbigniew Brzezinski points out how this release is “seeded” with  information that is “surprisingly pointed.”</p><p>Take for example the cables indicating that Chinese leaders are  inclined to cooperate with the U.S. in reunifying North and South Korea  under the leadership of the south. That information was guaranteed to  embarrass China’s leaders, damage U.S. relations with Beijing and make  reunification more difficult.</p><p>From a game theory perspective, that damaging result was fully  foreseeable. With the U.S. economy teetering on a meltdown, the creation  of a rift with America’s largest trading partner was also an assault on  the economic strength required for the U.S. to sustain a viable  defense.</p><p>Similarly, the pointed references to Arab leaders were destined to  weaken their political credibility at home while complicating relations  abroad. By exposing Arab displeasure with Iran, this operation also  sharpened the divide between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, a source of  ongoing tensions and a key barrier to forming a viable government in  Iraq.</p><p>The effect was certain to complicate U.S. disengagement and raise America’s costs in both blood and treasure.</p><p>The cables involving Saudi leaders were released soon after  Washington agreed to allow Riyadh to purchase $60 billion in U.S.  aircraft and armaments over a multi-year period. Tel Aviv was not  pleased.</p><p>By targeting the credibility of both Saudi Arabia and the U.S., this  operation targeted the two nations pressing hardest for an end to  Israel’s occupation of Palestine.</p><p><strong>Transparency is the Biggest Threat</strong></p><p>Has Tel Aviv panicked? After more than six decades of nonstop  provocations while routinely portraying itself as the perennial victim,  has Israel’s storyline lost traction?</p><p>Zionism faces an existential threat though not from Iran or those Tel  Aviv portrays as “Islamo-fascists.” The threat lurks in the  fast-emerging transparency that confirms pro-Israelis as the source of  the intelligence that took the U.S. to war on false premises.</p><p>A critical mass of disinformation persuaded the U.S. to wage war in pursuit of an agenda long sought by Zionist extremists.</p><p>Steve Rosen, a former employee of the Israel lobby, has promised to  testify on the lobby’s routine receipt of classified U.S. intelligence.  Is this massive release of classified materials meant to make the  lobby’s intelligence-gathering operation appear routine?</p><p>What’s included in the WikiLeaks release is pointed. What’s excluded  is even more so: the lack of facts chronicling the role that Israel has  long played in undermining U.S. interests.</p><p>Israel has escaped accountability for more than six decades. Was the  WikiLeaks release “seeded” to discredit the U.S. at this time-critical  juncture? The evidence suggests that what we see is not a data dump but a  disinformation operation.</p><p>Last week, Israeli resistance to a peace plan was front-page news. This week the news is all about war with Iran. <em>The Jerusalem Post</em> immediately crowed that WikiLeaks “vindicated Israel” by citing Arab leaders’ concerns about Iran.</p><p>These latest releases even enabled Tel Aviv to suggest that if U.S.  intelligence was flawed on a nuclear-armed North Korea, how can anyone  trust America to contain a nuclear Iran?</p><p>To whom should this release be attributed? Who benefited?</p><p><em>* <a

/> --Franco Frattini, Foreign Minister of Italy</p><p>The impact of the WikiLeaks release of diplomatic cables fits the behavior profile of those well versed in game theory warfare.</p><p>When Israeli mathematician Robert J. Aumann received the 2005 Nobel Prize in economic science for his work on game theory, he conceded, "the entire school of thought that we have developed here in Israel" has turned "Israel into the leading authority in this field."</p><p>The candor of this Israeli-American offered a rare insight into an enclave long known for waging war from the shadows. Israel's most notable success to date was "fixing" the intelligence that induced the U.S. to invade Iraq in pursuit of a geopolitical agenda long sought by Tel Aviv<br
/> <span
id="more-9423"></span><br
/> When waging intelligence wars, timing is often the critical factor for game-theory war planners. The outcome of the WikiLeaks release suggests a psy-ops directed at the U.S.</p><p>Why now? Tel Aviv was feeling pressure to end its six-decade occupation of Palestine. With this release, its foot-dragging on the peace process was displaced with talk of an attack on Iran.</p><p>While the U.S. bore the brunt of the damage, the target was global public opinion. To maintain the plausibility of The Clash of Civilizations, a focus must be maintained on Iran as a credible Evil Doer.</p><p>With fast-emerging transparency, Israel and pro-Israelis have been identified as the source of the intelligence that took coalition forces to war in Iraq. Thus the need to shift attention off Tel Aviv.</p><p>WikiLeaks may yet succeed in that mission.</p><p><strong>Foreseeable Futures</strong></p><p>Game theory war planning aims to create outcomes that are predictable-within an acceptable range of probabilities. That's why Israeli war planners focus on gaining traction for a plausible narrative and then advancing that storyline step by gradual step.</p><p>For the Zionist state to succeed with its expansionist agenda, Iran must remain at center stage as an essential villain in a geopolitical morality play pitting the West against Islamo Fascists.</p><p>To displace facts with false beliefs-as with belief in the intelligence that induced the invasion of Iraq-momentum must be maintained for the storyline. Lose the plot (The Clash) and peace might break out. And those deceived may identify the deceiver.</p><p>Thus the timing of this latest WikiLeaks release. Its goal: to have us believe that it is not Tel Aviv but Washington that is the forefront of geopolitical duplicity and a source of Evil Doing.</p><p>Intelligence wars rely on mathematical models to anticipate the response of those targeted. With game theory algorithms, reactions become foreseeable-within an acceptable range of probabilities.</p><p>Control enough of the variables and outcomes become a mathematical inevitability.</p><p><strong>The WikiLeaks Motive</strong></p><p>Was the reaction to this latest WikiLeaks foreseeable? With exquisite timing, the U.S. was discredited with an array of revelations that called into question U.S. motives and put in jeopardy U.S. relations worldwide.</p><p>As the Italian Foreign Minister summarized: "The news released by WikiLeaks will change diplomatic relations between countries."</p><p>The hard-earned trust of the Pakistanis disappeared overnight. Attempts to engage Iran were set back. The overall effect advanced The Clash storyline. If Washington could so badly misread North Korean intentions, then why is the U.S. to be trusted when it comes to a nuclear Iran?</p><p>This Wiki-catalyzed storyline pushed Israel off the front page in favor of Iran.</p><p>Even U.S. detainees at Guantanamo are again at issue, reigniting that shameful spectacle as a provocation for extremism and terror. U.S. diplomats will now be suspected of spying and lying. What nation can now trust Americans to maintain confidences?</p><p>In short, the risks increased for everyone.</p><p>Except Israel.</p><p>Should Israel launch an attack on Iran, Tel Aviv can cite WikiLeaks as its rationale. Though an attack would be calamitous from a human, economic and financial perspective, even that foreseeable outcome would be dwarfed by the enduring hatred that would ensue.</p><p>That too is foreseeable-from a game theory perspective of those marketing The Clash.</p><p>The effect of the U.S. invasion of Iraq was predictable. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia foresaw it, noting simply that the U.S. invasion would "give Iraq to Iran as a gift on a golden platter."</p><p>With the elimination of Sunni leader Saddam Hussein, the numerically dominant Shiites of Iraq were drawn into the political orbit of the Shiite-dominant Iran.</p><p>Game theorists focus their manipulation of affairs on their control of key variables. Then events take on a life all their own. The impact of this discrediting release was wide-ranging and fully foreseeable.</p><p>A Mossad case officer explained Israel's success at waging war by way of deception: "Once the orchestra starts to play, we just hum along."</p><p>These, after all, are the leading authorities in the field.</p><p><em>* <a

Fool me twice, shame on me. Con me consistently for six decades and the relationship is over, as is Israel's credibility as a legitimate nation state.</p><p>Tel Aviv knows this. But what can the Zionist state do about it?</p><p>Answer: Wikileaks.</p><p>Why now? Misdirection.<br
/> <span
id="more-9396"></span><br
/> Shine the spotlight on Washington to take it off Tel Aviv. That's good old-fashioned psy-ops. And challenge the credibility of the U.S. That's Wikileaks.</p><p>Any credible forensics would start by asking: to whose benefit? Then look to means, motive and opportunity plus the presence of stable nation-state intelligence inside the U.S.</p><p>Other than Israel, who else is a credible candidate? Notice how quickly Israel's role in the peace process vanished from the news. Now it's Iran, Iran and more Iran. To whose benefit?</p><p>Tel Aviv knows that the phony intelligence on Iraq leads to those skilled at waging war "by way of deception"-the motto of the Israeli Mossad.</p><p>Wikileaks are noteworthy for what's missing: the absence of any material damaging to Israeli goals.</p><p>But still Tel Aviv faces an unprecedented peril: transparency. Americans know they were duped. And Israel rightly fears that Americans will soon realize by whom.</p><p><strong>Tepid Support will not Suffice</strong></p><p>Obama has behaved as anticipated by those who produced his presidency. Anyone surprised at the lack of change in U.S. policy in the Middle East fails to grasp the power of the Israel lobby.</p><p>Did he hesitate to support their latest Israeli strategy for scuttling peace negotiations? Absent peace, the U.S. will continue to be the target of those outraged at America's unflinching support for Israel's thuggish behavior in pursuit of its expansionist goals.</p><p>Confirming the lobby's influence, Netanyahu announced he would not agree to halt settlements on Palestinian land until Obama reduced to writing a $3 billion bribe.</p><p>In return for a proposed 90-day freeze, what form of bribe will America provide? Twenty F-35 jets at $150 million each plus parts, maintenance, training and armaments.</p><p>That's $231 million per week or $1,373,626 per hour. What will the U.S. receive in return? A temporary partial freeze on settlements. How many more times can this ruse work?</p><p>Israel has evaded a peace agreement since it drove Palestinians from their land in 1948 and seized more land in 1967 to shape today's geopolitics.</p><p>Should Israel reach an agreement with the Palestinians, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton proposes a "comprehensive security agreement." At what cost no one knows. The U.S. Congress has already budgeted $30 billion for Israel over 10 years. This latest $3 billion is on top of that.</p><p>That doesn't include the cost to American credibility posed by an offer to veto U.N. recognition of Palestine as a state. And a pledge Never Again to pressure Israel on settlements. Plus the freeze omits East Jerusalem where Tel Aviv insists on moving ahead with new housing starts.</p><p><strong>Timing Is Everything</strong></p><p>By scheduling its latest incursion into Gaza between Christmas 2008 and the January 2009 Obama inaugural, Tel Aviv ensured only muted opposition during political down time in the U.S. Thus it came as no surprise to see an agent provocateur operation on Thanksgiving Day 2010 as Israel demolished a West Bank Mosque and a Palestinian village.</p><p>After seven hours of nonstop talks, Hillary Clinton praised Netanyahu as a "peacemaker." In return, he agreed only to "continue the process." Meanwhile, U.S. elections marked a major victory for Israel when incoming Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Jewish Zionist, announced that the new majority would "serve as a check on the Obama administration."</p><p>The Israel lobby has good reason to gloat. Confirming ongoing duplicity, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman proclaimed: "a permanent agreement is impossible."</p><p>Wikileaks' release of confidential diplomatic cables provides Israel an opportunity to undermine U.S. relations worldwide while also inflicting lasting damage on U.S. interests in the Middle East. After this, what nation would trust the U.S. to maintain a confidence?</p><p>In October, Turkey asked that the U.S. not share intelligence with Israel. Now who dares share intelligence with the U.S.?</p><p>This may signal the beginning of the end for the Obama presidency his domestic policy failures are eclipsed by his failures in foreign policy.</p><p>This may also signal pre-staging for the 2012 presidential primary with a weakened Obama forced to name Clinton as his running mate or stepping aside so she can lead the ballot.</p><p>Her 2008 presidential campaign promised recognition of Israel as a "Jewish state" and promised an "undivided Jerusalem as the capital." Tel Aviv was elated. A second Clinton presidency would ensure another victory for Israel-and no peace.</p><p>Israeli psy-ops typically serve multiple purposes. Wikileaks is no exception.</p><p><em>* <a

Was his "Inner Eisenhower" on display last week in his televised speech to the U.N. General Assembly?</p><p>Did listeners detect a distraught commander-in-chief seeking to bypass Congress and appeal directly to the international community for help in containing Israel's expansionist goals?</p><p>In 1948, the Joint Chiefs cautioned Harry Truman about the "fanatical concepts" of a Jewish-Zionist elite that sought recognition as a legitimate state. U.S. military leaders warned Truman that this elite wanted "military and economic hegemony over the entire Middle East."</p><p>Albert Einstein and other prominent Jews were even more critical. They cautioned Americans about the Zionist political party that produced Menachem Begin, Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it a "terrorist party" with "the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party."<br
/> <span
id="more-8778"></span><br
/> Eight years later, President Eisenhower experienced how they advance their agenda when, during the last days of his November 1956 presidential campaign, Israel, France and Britain sought to induce a war with Egypt over control of the Suez Canal.</p><p>Though Ike was distracted by presidential politics, London and Paris were quickly persuaded to abandon their efforts. Not Tel Aviv. Then as now, Jewish fanatics were not inclined to listen to a U.S. commander-in-chief regardless of the impact of their behavior on our national interests.</p><p>When this Republican leader sought Congressional support to counter the Zionists' agenda, he found none. That's when this former five-star general turned in desperation to a televised address to counter Israeli Congressional influence that has grown far stronger over the past 54 years.</p><p>In April 2010, a bipartisan 363 members of Congress committed themselves to an "unbreakable bond" with Israel-regardless of its behavior. No one dared even whisper the word treason.</p><p>That same Israel-first agenda was addressed to the commander-in-chief over the signatures of 76 Senators led by Democrat Barbara Boxer of California. GOP Congressman Eric Cantor of Virginia and New York Senator Charles Schumer, a Democrat, launched a bipartisan pro-Israel assault on the commander-in-chief that sounded less like the Congress than the Knesset.</p><p><strong>Obama's Inner Ike</strong></p><p>Could this be why Obama made an appeal to the international community to halt Israeli expansionism? Like Ike, did he wake-up to the fact of Israeli dominance in the Congress?</p><p>Has this young president-with no military experience-been forced to face the reality of an enemy within? If so, we may yet have an opportunity to restore representative government. If so, those who deceived the U.S. to invade Iraq for a Zionist agenda may yet be held accountable.</p><p>However, this past week also saw Congressman Barney Frank join others circulating a petition to free Israeli Master Spy Jonathan Pollard. A dual-citizen operative, Pollard did more damage to our national security than anyone in U.S. history. When he stole more than one million classified documents and Tel Aviv sold them to Moscow, our "special friend" gutted Cold War defenses on which American taxpayers spent more than $20 Trillion (in 2010 dollars) from 1948-1989.</p><p>Is Barney Frank committing treason? Or is he circulating that petition so that our national security apparatus has a list of those complicit in the treason that induced us to war in the Middle East on false pretenses? Was Obama's speech to the U.N. a cry for help by a president whose advisory corps is dominated by pro-Israelis and Israeli-Americans?</p><p>Few Americans realize that Obama is a political product of the Chicago Outfit, commencing with Penny Pritzker, his top fundraiser according to his April 2007 filing with the Federal Elections Commission. Pritzker's grandfather and great-grandfather were mob lawyers.</p><p>His second-ranked fundraiser was Chicago's affluent Crown clan (né Krinsky) whose dominant ownership stake in General Dynamics ensured additional riches both from waging the "war on terror" and from Homeland Security. The third-ranked financier active in producing the Obama phenomenon was financial manipulator George Soros, recently rebranded a "progressive."</p><p>Chicagoan Abner Mikva, White House counsel to Bill Clinton, captured the essence of the challenge Americans now face-regardless of party. A former Congressman, Mikva describes Obama as "our first Jewish president." He should know.</p><p>Americans have been deceived for so long, we may be unable to discern the truth even when confessed by those who know it best. Did this eloquent young community organizer realize just this past week that his political success was produced by descendants of organized crime and those loyal to a foreign nation?</p><p><strong>Chosen by The Chosen</strong></p><p>America finds itself torn between two competing narratives. The first remains loyal to our founding principles in defense of our core freedoms. The second group now grasps that those who induced us to war with phony intelligence misused those freedoms to advance their agenda. How does our commander in chief expose those who befriended us in order to betray us?</p><p>With the all-pervasive Congressional influence wielded by Zionist Jews and Zionist Christians, what is a commander-in-chief to do? Is that why Barack Obama turned to television to make an appeal for help from the international community? Or is that just my wishful thinking?</p><p>With representative government in the U.S. now dominated by those who share beliefs contrary to our core principles, what is the head of our executive branch to do?</p><p>Americans have long been oblivious to Zionist influence. Did Barack Obama just awaken from a self-induced slumber and recall to whom his oath of office obliges him? Perhaps.</p><p>Two days ago, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas echoed the same cautionary words as Albert Einstein and the Joint Chiefs when describing Israel's "mentality of expansion and domination."</p><p>Little has changed over six decades except the faces on this perilous fascism. Obama may yet become part of the solution. Or, unlike Ike, he may succumb to the pressures of mid-term elections and again support the induced fanaticism now playing out as <em>The Clash of Civilizations</em>.</p><p><em>* <a

As the counterpoint to love, hate reigns supreme among those emotions that the faith traditions seek to expunge from the human heart.</p><p>Hate we're told is the face of evil seen in plumes of smoke and ash on 911. Yet hate also serves a purpose for those adept at catalyzing conflicts.</p><p>In the aftermath of that horrific event, hate we're assured is a desired emotional state. Yet induced hate led us into two unwinnable wars. Hate may yet take us into Iran. Or Pakistan.</p><p>That hate is also bankrupting us both financially and psychologically.</p><p>This 4-part series identifies those who induce us to hate-and describes how.</p><p>1. <a

href="#p3">The Use of Pliable and Reliable Assets to Advance a Narrative</a></p><p>4. <a
href="#p4">Staying on Message to Advance a Narrative</a></p><p>As the "how" of hate mongering becomes transparent, its common source will become apparent. With transparency comes accountability. That's when you can watch for hate to emerge yet again to shield those who hide behind the toxic charge of "anti-Semitism."</p><p>With the shared knowledge of how hate is evoked and sustained, those provoked to hate can say with confidence "Never Again" to those complicit in inducing this evil.<br
/> <span
id="more-8584"></span><br
/> <a
name="p1"></a><strong>Timing is Everything</strong></p><p>Hate can be personal or geopolitical. Those who induced us to war in the Middle East made it personal. The murderous provocation of 911 was emotionally wrenching and intensely personal. As a people, our gut reaction ensured that support for the war would become widespread.</p><p>In the aftermath of that mass murder on U.S. soil, Martin Peretz, editor of <em>The New Republic</em>, summed up the situation: "We are all Israelis now."</p><p>So now we can all be persuaded to hate Muslims-even if we've never met one.</p><p>The shared mental environment was flooded with what then seemed like plausible justifications for the invasion of Iraq: Iraqi WMD; Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda; Iraqi meetings with Al Qaeda in Prague; Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories; Iraqi purchases of yellowcake uranium from Niger.</p><p>We now know that all those rationales were fixed around a preset agenda. Yet a critical mass of false beliefs sufficed to take us to war. For those skilled at inducing hate, consensus beliefs need not be true, they need only be credible-and only for a limited time.</p><p>With a corrupt consensus ruling the day, anyone offering proof that Iraq was not a threat was dismissed as unpatriotic or soft on terrorism.</p><p>This 911-prompted hate fest started with Iraq, a former ally, as a U.S.-led invasion kicked off <em>The Clash of Civilizations</em>. The bravado of "bring 'em on" quickly became "shock and awe" as a vicious invasion was pursued with a relaxed "Aw Shucks" attitude supported with a media campaign comprised of photo ops of a commander-in-chief nonchalantly clearing brush at his home in Crawford, Texas.</p><p>Brand America became "We're still the world's biggest and baddest in the war-waging business. Just you watch."</p><p>And watch us go broke as America led an Atlantic coalition that, like Israel, alienated much of the Muslim world.</p><p><strong>An Invalid War</strong></p><p>Plus there's another strategic problem: our reason for invading Iraq was "invalid." That's the assessment of Defense Secretary Robert Gates. He should know. After the invasion, the invalid storyline quickly shifted to "Saddam the Evil Doer" as our rationale.</p><p>How can the rationale be invalid? If we're all Israelis now, surely that entitles us to invade lands belonging to Muslims, kill them, transform them into refugees and, with impunity, create widespread outrage among the broader Muslim population.</p><p>Let's fast-forward to nine years after a high-profile slaughter in Manhattan and survey our success in the stark light of hindsight. Are we more secure? Are we more prosperous? Are Americans facing a brighter future? Are our children proud of the outcome?</p><p>Israel has occupied Palestinian land for more than six decades. The September 13<sup>th</sup> issue of <em>Time </em>magazine captured the Israeli sentiment: "Why Israel Doesn't Care About Peace."</p><p>Israelis are too busy prospering to care. Outraged Muslims are a nuisance but they're now largely marginalized and, for the most part, manageable. Is that what happened to us? Have Americans become Israelis?</p><p>Not long ago an internal poll of friendly foreign intelligence agencies ranked our best and worst allies-those who behave as friends to the U.S. versus those who are clearly foes. Israel ranked dead last as a reliable ally. Though their brazen theft of technical and industrial secrets is well known among those in the know, the broader U.S. public remains deceived or in denial.</p><p>Most Americans still see Israel as an ally. The facts confirm that's a dangerous delusion.</p><p>Meanwhile Mossad agents are recruiting Arab-Americans to spy on their neighbors in the U.S. Though Tel Aviv is called on the carpet three times as often as other nations, Israel still ranks third in the aggressiveness of its U.S. operations, behind only China and Russia.</p><p>That ranking may well be out of date with Israel now first in foreign operations on U.S. soil.</p><p><strong>Other Telling Signs</strong></p><p>Zionist Jews deployed terror and intimidation to occupy Muslim lands long before Harry Truman was induced in 1948 to recognize an extremist enclave as a legitimate nation state. Disputes over land remain at the heart of the expansionist agenda for Greater Israel.</p><p>On September 7<sup>th</sup>, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas asked that the U.S. settle a dispute over the Israeli expansion of settlements that threaten to derail Mideast peace talks. Those talks have dragged on since 1967. Settling those disputes would disrupt the Zionist agenda.</p><p>In a telling rebuke, on September 12<sup>th</sup>, Tel Aviv rejected a proposed visit to Israel by the foreign ministers of France, Spain, Britain, Germany and Italy. Why? These senior diplomats sought a remedy to that dispute in order to achieve a long-evasive peace.</p><p>Therein lies Israel's strategic strength. Absent this sustained provocation (43 years and counting), hatred might subside and peace may become a possibility. That's a danger Tel Aviv works hard to avoid.</p><p>September 12<sup>th</sup> also saw the release of a new report indicating that 2,066 new homes would be constructed in the West Bank as soon as the temporary freeze expires September 26<sup>th</sup>.</p><p>Meanwhile back in the U.S., Americans remain unaware of how many contracts for Homeland Security were awarded to Israeli firms or to firms owned by pro-Israelis. Nor do Americans realize how many Homeland Security outlays have been directed to Jewish community centers.</p><p>That's all the more reason for Zionists-both Jewish and Christian-to create an uproar about an Islamic Community Center planned for construction two blocks from the 911 site in Manhattan.</p><p>And all the more reason for a Christian-Zionist preacher to designate the ninth anniversary of 911 as "International Burn a Koran Day" at his 50-member church.</p><p>The Koran gambit gained global attention, stoked by a media dominated by Jewish Zionists. High profile political personalities ensured that this hate-mongering stunt was kept in the forefront of international news coverage in the lead-up to the anniversary of modern history's best-known hate-mongering provocation.</p><p><strong><a
name="p2"></a>Signs of a rift between U.S. politicians and U.S. national security</strong></p><p>Even with the media support required to sustain hate in plain sight, today's background chatter suggests that those worried about U.S. national security are at work in the shadows to counter the influence of the Israel lobby.</p><p>If so, that is good news-for the United States.</p><p>When Israeli-American writer Jeff Goldberg appeared again in the news, you knew psy-ops were underway. In March 2002, Goldberg published in <em>The New Yorker</em> a lengthy story alleging an alliance between the religious jihadists of Al Qaeda and the secular Baathists of Iraq.</p><p>Though a nonsensical premise, his account made such an alliance appear plausible to a public lacking in knowledge of the Middle East. Goldberg's storyline made it easier for Saddam Hussein to be portrayed as both an Evil Doer and a threat to the U.S.</p><p>Goldberg's 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. By association, his stature in intelligence lent credibility to phony intelligence fixed around an Israeli agenda.</p><p>Goldberg reemerged in July to promote Evil Doer status for Iran. Writing in the July 22<sup>nd</sup> issue of <em>The Atlanti</em>c, he argued the Israeli case for bombing Iran and urged that the U.S. again join the fray. No one in mainstream media mentioned his earlier manipulation.</p><p>Based on the consistency of his "journalism," it came as no surprise to see Goldberg reemerge just in time for the ninth anniversary of 911. Aided by an array of false intelligence reported by a complicit media, that murderous provocation helped persuade the U.S. to invade Iraq to remove Evil Doer Saddam Hussein.</p><p>That March 2003 agenda was first promoted in 1996 in <em>A Clean Break</em>, a strategy paper written for Benjamin Netanyahu by an Israeli-American team led by Richard Perle. This Jewish-Zionist operative re-emerged in July 2001 to chair the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board where he was joined by Woolsey and others supportive of this Israeli agenda.</p><p><strong>Advancing the Narrative</strong></p><p>Fast-forward to September 2010 and we find Goldberg back at work promoting his interview with Fidel Castro. Emerging fact patterns suggest it came as no surprise to our national security apparatus that the theme of this latest well-timed Goldberg article was the Cuban leader's concern that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is "anti-Semitic."</p><p>The timing of this report came as a surprise to those aware that Castro has long been critical of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.</p><p>Goldberg reports he was "summoned" to Havana to discuss Castro's fears of a global nuclear war. After conceding in the interview that the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis "wasn't worth it," Castro turned to a theme of topical importance to Tel Aviv, insisting that the Iranian government must understand that Jews "were expelled from their land, persecuted and mistreated all over the world."</p><p>Knowing Cuba's pre-revolution alliance with Meyer Lansky and other kingpins in Jewish organized crime, one must wonder if this "journalist" was dispatched to commence negotiations for gambling concessions as a means to fill the Castro government's depleted coffers.</p><p>The recent relaxation of restrictions on travel to Cuba may signal a pending return to Cuba's "glory days" as a nearby haven for organized crime.</p><p>Castro's well-timed comments about persecuted Jews may have been a signal that Cuba is again open for business-any business. At the very least, his comments were like a healing balm to nationalist Zionist settlers who have plans to construct another 19,000 home in the West Bank.</p><p>So much for those who seek to quell Israel's long-running land dispute with the Palestinians in order to keep peace talks on track.</p><p>Within two days of the release of the Goldberg interview, vandals in Sacramento, California used a swastika to deface an image of Israeli basketball star Omri Casspi. The identity of the vandals has not been confirmed.</p><p>This much has been confirmed: timing is everything when seeking to sustain a storyline. Casting Castro as pro-Israeli was a stroke of genius.</p><p>Here's where it starts of get interesting as Americans wake up to find themselves unwitting combatants in the first real Information Age War. When waging modern-day warfare in the shared field of consciousness, media is routinely deployed to displace facts with false beliefs.</p><p>Thus the need for substantial and sustained influence in that domain by those determined to shape the political narrative. No one does that better than those who induced the world's greatest super power to wage a war on their behalf.</p><p>Recent developments suggest that the dynamics may be shifting in the "field" where political narratives are advanced and where today's wars are either won or lost. That field is the shared field of consciousness where consensus beliefs are created and sustained.</p><p>In news reported from the Middle East on September 10, Washington took a surprising stance in support of Iranian claims that Tehran was not building a new uranium enrichment facility. That statement came after an Iranian dissident group, in a well-timed release, charged that Iran had a new secret nuclear site 120 kilometers north of Tehran.</p><p>That disclaimer preempted a lead editorial in <em>The New York Times</em> published in the U.S. later that same day-just before the ninth anniversary of 911. That editorial sought to give credence to a report that had already been dismissed as not credible.</p><p>Was this an example of U.S. national security attempting to reclaim the narrative? Does this signal a new aggressiveness by the U.S. in waging field-based warfare against those whose successful deceptions led us to war in the Middle East?</p><p>Two days prior, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech stating "there may not be another chance" for Mideast peace. That statement came the same day that a senior Palestinian negotiator confirmed they would not recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Clinton said nothing.</p><p>Could these developments signal a crack in the Zionist agenda that has shaped U.S. foreign policy for more than six decades? Are Zionists losing their chokehold on the White House?</p><p>If so, will the Israel lobby again rally Congress to Israel's defense?</p><p>Will we see another "unbreakable bond" resolution urging that U.S. interests continue to take second place to Tel Aviv's agenda for the region?</p><p>Will the national security interests of the U.S. prevail or will Zionist goals again triumph?</p><p><strong>Timing is Everything</strong></p><p>While these events were unfolding, <em>The New York Times</em> continued to stoke the controversy surrounding "International Burn A Koran Day."</p><p>The nation's "newspaper of record" conceded that this well-timed controversy began with local coverage by <em>The Gainesville Sun</em> (owned by <em>The New York Times</em>) when pastor Terry Jones posted a sign outside his small church that read "Islam is of the devil."</p><p>By August 26<sup>th</sup>, <em>The Times</em> was prepared to publish a major article on Jones and the anti-Islam views of his 50-member congregation. By September 9<sup>th</sup>, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was prepared to say with confidence that Zionists were responsible for the Jones plan to burn a Koran on 911.</p><p>In a fortuitous case of timing, recordings played in a federal courtroom on September 8<sup>th</sup> showed how a government informer induced a 2009 synagogue bomb plot in New York. The recordings made it clear that those on trial as "homegrown terrorists bent on jihad" were not even modestly well versed in Islam. To make a plausible case for later use in the courtroom, the informer prompted comments consistent with the hate-mongering motivation at the heart of the prosecution's case.</p><p>Do these small chinks in the Zionist armor suggest that Israeli dominance of U.S. foreign policy may be drawing to a close?</p><p><strong><a
name="p3"></a>The Use of Pliable and Reliable Assets to Advance a Narrative</strong></p><p>Many of America's most prominent political leaders were induced to comment on "International Burn A Koran Day"-a high profile provocation proposed by a Christian-Zionist preacher with a small congregation in a small town in Florida.</p><p>When U.S. General David Petraeus spoke out against the proposal, the issue immediately gained an international profile as did Pastor Terry Jones who quickly became an international celebrity.</p><p>One need not dig deep to identify who may have advised General Petraeus to grant a global profile to a provocation consistent with Israeli goals for the region.</p><p>In March, as head of Central Command, Petraeus offered testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee confirming facts that have long been obvious but are seldom mentioned: our "special relationship" with Israel and its oppressive occupation of Palestine undermine U.S. interests in the Middle East and endanger American personnel. Read it for yourself:</p><blockquote><p>"The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests... Israeli-Palestinian tensions often flare into violence and large-scale armed confrontations. The conflict foments anti-American sentiment due to a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples in the [region] and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support. The conflict also gives Iran influence in the Arab world through its clients, Lebanese Hizballah and Hamas...."</p></blockquote><p>Petraeus is often spoken of as a potential Republican presidential candidate. Thus the chagrin among some in Washington when this high profile military leader appeared to curry favor with Max Boot, a former <em>Wall Street Journal</em> op-ed editor and outspoken Zionist. In an apparent attempt to soften the candor of his written testimony before the Senate, he wrote to Boot:</p><blockquote><p>"Does it help if folks know that I hosted Elie Wiesel and his wife at our quarters last Sun night?! And that I will be the speaker at?the 65<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps in mid-Apr at the Capitol Dome..."</p></blockquote><p>Boot wrote back to assure him that those comments were not necessary as Petraeus had not been described as anti-Semitic. Boot then posted a pro-Petraeus piece on the website for <em>Commentary,</em> a neoconservative publication, assuring readers that the general is not anti-Israel and dismissing his anti-Israel comments as inserted by staff in his statement-that Petraeus reviewed.</p><p><strong>The Supporting Cast</strong></p><p>After General Petraeus, now senior commander in Afghanistan, created a high profile for the Burn-A-Koran controversy, comments were offered by Attorney General Eric Holder, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama. With that, the provocation went viral.</p><p>These fuel-the-fire comments were followed by a personal appeal to Pastor Jones in a phone call from Defense Secretary Robert Gates that also went viral.</p><p>As any game theorist could predict, even the <em>possibility </em>of such a psy-ops (a Koran book burning) was guaranteed to galvanize anti-American sentiments and catalyze anti-American demonstrations. As the book burning gained steadily more profile, this provocation increased the probability of catalyzing long-lasting anti-American sentiments.</p><p>This stunt bears a remarkable resemblance to a <em>Newsweek </em>story alleging that a U.S. soldier flushed a Koran down the toilet. Though that May 2005 account by Michael Isikoff was later withdrawn in substantial part, its publication provoked an earlier well-timed response by setting off anti-American demonstrations in Muslim countries worldwide.</p><p>At first, the story gained only scant attention. That muted response changed dramatically when Pakistani cricket star Imran Khan gave Isikoff's story an international profile by announcing from Islamabad that American military personnel had desecrated a holy Islamic text.</p><p>That's when this <em>Clash of Civilizations</em>-catalyzing, U.S.-discrediting account went viral. In practical effect, <a
href="http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2010/01/01/america-needs-pakistans-help-again-part-vi/">Khan's celebrity was appropriated</a> to associate the U.S. military with conduct similar in its psy-ops effect to the profile given an American proposing to burn a Koran.</p><p><em>Newsweek</em> was recently acquired by Sidney Harman, the husband of California Congresswoman Jane Harman, the Jewish Zionist chair of the Intelligence Subcommittee of the House Committee on Homeland Security. At the time of this provocation, <em>Newsweek</em> was a magazine affiliate of <em>The Washington Post</em> newspaper, an influential opinion-shaping newspaper based in the nation's capital.</p><p>In the annals of "field-based warfare," the Koran-flushing story will go down in history as a classic psy-ops for its success in targeting the minds of a built-in audience outside the U.S.-cricket fans-as a vulnerable and receptive shared field of consciousness.</p><p>When the high-profile Imran Khan described the alleged incident as factual, this operation transcended the literacy barrier as it provoked Muslims who did not even need to read in order to be reached-and provoked.</p><p>And because the story targeted cricket fans, its impact was disastrous to Americans while also remaining invisible to America where cricket is neither a well known activity nor a widely played sport.</p><p>In what passes for mainstream American media, the Isikoff story was called news. In national security parlance, the well-timed launch of that provocative storyline is called tactical psy-ops. So far, the Koran-burning story is being attributed solely to the whims of a southern preacher.</p><p>Stay tuned. It may be only a coincidence that Jones was a high school classmate of Rush Limbaugh, America's most provocative radio talk show host.</p><p><strong>Information Age Warfare</strong></p><p>If this sounds familiar, it should. You may recall when the wartime role played by global media became apparent in the <em>Clash</em>-catalyzing "cartoon riots" that swept the world in February 2006. That reaction followed the publication in France, Germany, Italy and Spain of graphic images of the prophet Muhammad that first appeared in a Danish newspaper in September 2005.</p><p>Citing free speech as the rationale, cultural editor Flemming Rose published a compilation of cartoons certain to be seen by Muslims as blasphemous, including one featuring Muhammad with a bomb in place of a turban.</p><p>An Ashkenazi native of Ukraine, Rose worked as a reporter for five years in Moscow during the oligarchi-zation of Russia. As his contribution to that nationwide fraud, he translated into Danish a fawning 1990 autobiography (<em>Against the Stream</em>) of presidential candidate Boris Yeltsin whose administration enabled the wildly successful financial pillaging of Russia.</p><p>Six of the top seven Russian oligarchs were Ashkenazim who qualified for Israeli citizenship.</p><p>Rose's career tracks the trajectory of a typical media asset. After Russia, he relocated to Washington, D.C. Again employed as a journalist, he traveled to China with Bill Clinton before returning to Moscow to work for <em>Jyllands-Posten</em>, a rightwing Danish publication known for its anti-immigrant news fare.</p><p>Before catalyzing the cartoon crisis, Rose published a flattering interview with the Islam-bashing Daniel Pipes who heads Campus Watch. This organization monitors, disrupts and seeks to intimidate pro-Palestinian speakers when they accept invitations to speak at U.S. colleges.</p><p>Pipes is the neoconservative, Jewish-Zionist son of "Team B" leader Richard Pipes a Polish emigre. Team B was a 1976 alternative intelligence assessment whose success with phony intelligence during the presidency of Gerald Ford (when G.H.W. Bush was C.I.A. Director) informed those who fixed the intelligence that enabled the U.S. to segue seamlessly from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism during the presidency of G.W. Bush.</p><p>After the promotion of Rose to cultural editor and publication of the provocative cartoons, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer featured Pipes on <em>The Situation Room</em>. By showcasing Pipes, Blitzer ensured the airwaves would carry his anti-Islam interpretation of the Rose-catalyzed, media-fueled crisis.</p><p>Blitzer elected not to inform the viewers of CNN ("the most trusted name in news") that he (Blitzer) served as an editor of <em>Near East Report</em>, the Israel lobby's in-house journal, or that he spent 17 years with <em>The Jerusalem Post,</em> or that he published a sympathetic book on Israeli super-spy Jonathan Pollard who did more than anyone in history to damage U.S. national security.</p><p>The ensuing crisis cost many lives while the reaction to that provocation consumed the public's attention and polarized public opinion internationally. Appearing on television, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice used the crisis to criticize Iran and Syria, adding American credibility and military authority to stoke <em>The Clash of Civilizations</em> as the post-Cold War narrative.</p><p>Overall, the response heightened tensions and made an attack on Iran appear more reasonable as scenes of widespread outrage by Muslims fueled Islamo-phobia in the West. To escape the media scrutiny, Rose fled to the U.S. where he vacationed in Miami.</p><p><strong>Timing is Everything</strong></p><p>The usual suspects stepped into the fray in support of Pastor Terry Jones' First Amendment right to further outrage an already outraged Muslim population for whom the Koran is a sacred text.</p><p>Supporting cast for the Jones stunt included New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who chose an annual Iftar dinner at Gracie Mansion to cite the U.S. Constitution in support of this provocation. Likewise for <em>New York Times</em> columnist Charles Blow whose prominently placed op-ed on September 11<sup>th</sup> urged that "great American debates" should not be "tempered for terrorists."</p><p>National security may (at long last) be catching on to <em>how</em> those complicit in these psy-ops use our guaranteed freedoms (of speech, press, religion, etc.) to undermine our freedom. It's no coincidence that those most concerned about domestic eavesdropping by national security are drawn from the same ranks as those complicit in this ongoing manipulation of public opinion.</p><p>The high profile nature of this latest 911 anniversary ensured that <em>agent provocateurs</em> would use the event to keep hate alive. The day prior, President Obama urged that Israel extend its "temporary partial freeze" on settlements for the sake of sustaining the peace talks.</p><p>Meanwhile Jewish Zionist Pamela Geller sponsored a speech at Ground Zero by Dutch politician Geert Wilders who likens the Koran to <em>Mein Kampf</em>. A staunch supporter of Israel, Wilders is known for his incendiary speeches with a strong anti-Islam theme.</p><p>Geller, a disciple of Russian philosopher Ayn Rand (Alisa Rosenbaum), advocates measures to "Stop Islamization of America." She emphasizes the role of Barack Obama in doing the bidding of "Islamic overlords" in what she calls "The Obama Administration's War on America."</p><p>An outspoken Jewish Zionist, Geller urges that Israel "give up nothing." A regular commentator on Zionist-dominated media outlets (CNN, Fox News, <em>The Washington Post</em>, <em>The New York Times</em>), she insists that Israel should "take back Gaza" and "secure Judea and Samaria"-better known as the West Bank, the key area of contention on expansion of the settlements.</p><p>Geller is also a driving force behind anti-Islam hate groups working to scuttle plans for an Islamic Cultural Center two blocks from the 911 site. Allied with others in the hate campaign, she was among the first in November 2009 to describe the shootings on Fort Hood, Texas as a "Muslim terror attack."</p><p><strong><a
name="p4"></a>Staying on message to advance the narrative</strong></p><p>Keeping the "anti-Semitism" theme front-and-center remains essential to advance the hate-monger's narrative with the assistance of mainstream media.</p><p>Thus the Anti-Defamation League criticized the current cover of <em>Time</em> magazine for what ADL President Abe Foxman suggested was a portrayal of Israelis as more interested in making money than in striking a peace accord with the Palestinians.</p><p>The article highlighted Israel's booming real estate market and the pleasure Israelis are taking in late-Summer vacations.</p><p>Nevertheless, according to Foxman: "The insidious subtext of Israeli Jews being obsessed with money echoes the age-old anti-Semitic falsehood that Jews care about money above any other interest, in this case achieving peace with the Palestinians."</p><p>Foxman insisted that Managing Editor Richard Stengel issue an apology to readers both for the timing of the article and for calling up old anti-Semitic stereotypes about Jews and money.</p><p>As if right on cue, the next day filmmaker Michael Moore jumped into the Islamic Cultural Center debate, arguing that the center should not be near the 911 site but inside it as a way for Muslims to recover their religion from Islamic extremists.</p><p>In his branded controversial style, Moore could have left it at that. Instead, he used his assured media profile to relate an account of George Washington's wish to see Jews receive equal rights.</p><p><strong>Impressionistic Warfare</strong></p><p>From a psy-ops perspective, the subject matter is secondary to the impressions left with the public. The imbedding of imagery and emotion is the strategic purpose of much of what you see.</p><p>For instance, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, speaking to ABC's "This Week," said on September 12<sup>th</sup> that the controversy over the site of an Islamic Cultural Center has heightened concerns among Muslims of rising anti-Muslim sentiment, saying he felt there was "growing Islamophobia in this country."</p><p>That's a foreseeable result of creating widely shared impressions that foster and sustain widely shared beliefs that, in turn, are kept intact with emotional triggers. That's how the hate-monger narrative progresses in plain sight.</p><p>When waging war in the shared field of consciousness, the most powerful weapon is often the power of association. Michael Moore's film success shows how it's done.</p><p>In his popular <em>Fahrenheit 911</em>, he deployed impressionistic "weaponry" to associate the war in Iraq with "Bush Oil." How was that done? He showed on film that one of the several dozen siblings of Osama bin Laden served on the board of advisers to the Carlyle Group, an investment banking firm in Washington, D.C.</p><p>Also serving on that board was former president George H.W. Bush, the father of George W. Bush. Therefore, by the power of association, the war in Iraq was for "Bush Oil." Storylines don't need to true, just plausible. The point of psy-ops is not reality but credibility.</p><p>Impressions gain the traction required to advance a storyline-in plain sight.</p><p>Consensus beliefs create and sustain a narrative-in plain sight.</p><p>Psy-ops succeed when they attract enough eyeballs to misdirect the public's attention-in plain sight.</p><p><em>Fahrenheit 911 </em>was produced by Miramax, a Disney subsidiary. Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein loudly claimed that Disney reneged on its promise to distribute Moore's film. Disney chief executive Michael Eisner objected-just as loudly.</p><p>The high profile sparing between these two Hollywood titans dragged on for months in mainstream media. By the time the film was released, the interest generated by this "dispute" ensured that Moore's film opened on a record number of screens for a "documentary."</p><p>At virtually no cost, that public relations ploy helped ensure an international audience for a film that discredited not only the U.S. but also the office of the president. In its practical effect, the Moore film helped ensure there was virtually no mention of how key Zionist goals were advanced by this war-in plain sight.</p><p><strong>Real-time Terror</strong></p><p>Meanwhile, September 12<sup>th</sup> news reports highlighted the extradition to France from Egypt of a terrorist who reportedly planned to bomb an Israel Defense Forces event in Paris. Noticeably absent were facts about the timeframe of this threat or even when the arrest was made.</p><p>That account provided an opportunity for the chief of French intelligence to make a high profile announcement that the risk of a terrorist attack on France "has never been higher." This week, the French Senate is scheduled to vote a ban on wearing Islamic veils known as burgas, a vote certain to reinforce <em>The Clash of Civilizations</em> as the consensus narrative</p><p>Also on September 12<sup>th</sup>, the leader of Shin Bet announced in Tel Aviv: "Hamas forces in Gaza and the West Bank are engaged in an effort to foil peace talks." Israel's domestic security chief told cabinet ministers "threats are due to increase in the near future, as diplomatic developments occur...This isn't just an estimate but is supported by real intelligence."</p><p>Unmentioned in this volatile mix is the psychology of the hate monger. The purveyors of hate routinely project onto their opponents both their own personality traits (hatred) and, as here, their anticipated agenda. This announcement is far more likely to mean that Shin Bet will stage provocations designed to make it appear that Hamas is the instigator of violence.</p><p>For the Zionist agenda to continue in plain sight, peace must be avoided no matter what the cost. Disruption of the peace process, in turn, must plausibly be the work of others. The hate monger must appear to be hated; the aggressor must plausibly appear to be the victim.</p><p>Thus the need to portray as anti-Semitic (a hater) those who document the dynamics of how hate-mongers induce hate-in plain sight.</p><p><strong>The Assassination of Bibi Netanyahu</strong></p><p>Should we see a revival of the U.S. national security apparatus, we will also see a push back against the right-wing extremist coalitions that have long ruled Israel. However, any resistance to the Zionist agenda runs the risk that Israel's masters of game theory warfare will collapse another government.</p><p>That's how Tel Aviv responded when in June 1963, President John F. Kennedy pressured David Ben-Gurion for inspections of Israel's nuclear facility at Dimona. This young president sought to ensure that the Zionists of that era did not start a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. He foresaw what we now see.</p><p>Before JFK's strongly worded letter could be physically delivered, Ben-Gurion resigned citing undisclosed personal reasons. By the time a replacement governing coalition was in place and fully functional, the Kennedy problem had been handled.</p><p>In the parlance of national security, that's called an entropy strategy.</p><p>Fast-emerging circumstances suggest the likelihood of a similar strategy, particularly should there emerge any prospect of peace with the Palestinians. As Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman candidly put it, peace is impossible: "not next year and not for the next generation."</p><p>Should "Bibi" pressure his fragile governing coalition for an extension of the "temporary partial freeze" on settlements, members of his nationalist government could withdraw, collapsing the government. Key members of the coalition signaled their intentions on September 12<sup>th</sup> by announcing that any extension of the freeze will end the Netanyahu government.</p><p>On September 13<sup>th</sup>, four Likud Party members threatened to withdraw budget support if the freeze is extended. That threat was issued as Netanyahu departed for peace talks in Sharm el-Sheikh with Palestinian leaders and U.S. Secretary of State Clinton.</p><p>The recurring possibility of governmental collapse has long given Tel Aviv leverage over peace talks sought by the U.S. That era may soon draw to a close if our national security apparatus is now guiding U.S. foreign policy. To date, our elected officials have proven themselves unable to navigate through the manipulations often deployed by Israel to stymie agreement on the terms of a peace accord.</p><p>Tel Aviv knows the power that the perception of political vulnerability offers in negotiations. When the game theory dynamics of Israeli psy-ops are fully grasped, that leverage will quickly dissipate as negotiators realize they have long been manipulated. That makes the duplicity personal.</p><p>The key barrier to realization is the fast-fading belief among policy-makers in the U.S. and the E.U. that Israel is an ally and a friend rather than a sophisticated foe skilled at using deception to leverage its small numbers to great effect.</p><p>Though collapse is one possible strategy, Bibi may instead be assassinated.</p><p>The threads of a plausible storyline were laid in a September 9<sup>th</sup> article on Haaretz.com where he was compared to French president Charles de Gaulle against whom French nationalists staged numerous assassination attempts.</p><p>Either approach would inject enough entropy into the peace process to sustain the Palestinian conflict and extend the occupation yet again.</p><p>Either strategy would strengthen the hand of the hate-mongers as settlers build another 19,000 homes and U.S. legislators continue to pretend that the Zionist state is a victim of anti-Semitism rather than a serial <em>agent provocateur</em>.</p><p><em>* <a

The legitimacy of Israel is no longer threatened. It's already lost. Long gone. Kaput.</p><p>Nation states are shared states of mind. The mindset in Iceland differs from India. Israel is the most unlike of all. Founded by extremists and terrorists, it's been downhill ever since.</p><p>Psychopaths want to be loved. That's why they're so charming, albeit only superficially. They're also pathological liars, egocentric, callous and remorseless.</p><p>Those qualities have long been familiar to Israel's neighbors, particularly the Palestinians. After WWII, Harry Truman was charmed into treating this extremist enclave as an ally.</p><p>That decision may well go down in history as America's greatest mistake.</p><p>Though we've served for 62 years as Israel's patron, pocketbook and apologist, the respect and affection has flowed in only one direction.<br
/> <span
id="more-8297"></span><br
/> Psychopaths should not be confused with megalomaniacs. The mental states are quite different. Megalomaniacs seek to be feared, not loved. Control is the common trait.</p><p>That not-so-subtle distinction matters, at least for those of us who are not dual citizens.</p><p>For instance, it's now known that Israel and its advocates fixed the intelligence that took us to war in Iraq. That fact is no longer in dispute.</p><p>That fact alone confirms the split personality evident in the shared state of mind we call Israel. Those who share that state charmed us into committing our blood and treasure for goals long sought by Israel. That's the psychopath component.</p><p>The megalomaniac component felt they had a right to make us fearful. As Chosen (by a god of their own choosing), devotees of this shared mindset truly believe it's their right to deceive. Those complicit see themselves as "of us but above us."</p><p>When we dispatched <em>our</em> military to pursue <em>their </em>goals, Americans were killed and maimed as we borrowed our way into a fiscal morass from which there's no clear route to recovery.</p><p>Score another victory for the U.S.-Israel special relationship.</p><p><strong>Why Don't Americans Get It?</strong></p><p>Nothing about this "state" is legit. Never was. Its founding traces to a multi-decade reign of terror built on a phony historical foundation. Even the most dull-witted now question how Israel came into being. And why the U.S. ever deemed it special.</p><p>Americans are learning to fear Israel-as they should. A few of us remain charmed-despite the facts. For the True Believer, facts are likely to remain irrelevant.</p><p>Those familiar with the facts know better. Thus the fast-growing concern that troublesome behavior patterns are emerging once again.</p><p>Those most knowledgeable are deeply concerned about recent events.</p><p><div

class="wp-caption-text">Sephardi chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef</p></div>On August 26<sup>th</sup>, a leaked memo from the Central Intelligence Agency cited American Jews as exporters of terrorism. Then came the news on August 30<sup>th</sup> from Sephardi chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef who urged that Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas "vanish from our world" and that "God strike (Palestinians) down with a plague."</p><p>Neither story gained traction in mainstream U.S. media. Instead, news coverage was reserved for August 31<sup>st</sup> when four Israelis were shot dead in the West Bank.</p><p>The most lethal attack in four years-blamed on Hamas-occurred just hours before Netanyahu's scheduled meeting with Hamas leaders and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.</p><p>The timing revived memories of the many well-timed "incidents" during the reign of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. No one dares suggest that Tel Aviv may be the source of this latest incident. Yet consider just a few of the many precedents:</p><ul><li>On April 12, 2002, <em>at the same moment</em> Secretary of State Colin Powell was meeting with Ariel Sharon, a suicide bombing occurred in Israel, killing 8 and injuring 22.</li><li>On May 10, 2002, <em>at the same moment</em> President Bush was meeting with Ariel Sharon, a suicide bombing occurred in Israel.</li><li>On June 11, 2003, <em>on the same day</em> Ariel Sharon visited the White House, a suicide bombing killed 17 and wounded 100 on a bus in Jerusalem.</li><li>On November 11, 2003, <em>while the president of Italy was visiting</em> the U.S., Italy suffered its greatest wartime casualties since WWII when 19 Italians were killed in Iraq.</li><li>On November 20, 2003, <em>while President Bush was visiting Prime Minister Tony Blair</em> in London, the British envoy to Istanbul was among 27 killed by a blast.</li><li>On November 30, 2003, <em>while the president of Spain was visiting the U.S.,</em> seven Spanish intelligence officers were killed in Iraq.</li></ul><p><strong>The Source of Terror</strong></p><p>What happens to Israel's fast-fading legitimacy if the fear of terrorism-all of it-traces back to those long known for their expertise at waging war "by way of deception." That's the founding credo of the Mossad, Israel's foreign operations directorate infamous for its worldwide expertise as an <em>agent provocateur</em>.</p><p>Would a state founded by terrorists resort to terror to sustain a narrative essential to its survival? Would Tel Aviv again deceive the U.S. to pursue its expansionist goals?</p><p><div

Now it's time to be fearful. When a mental state of this malevolent sort becomes transparent and its operatives apparent, that's when "psycho-megalomania" becomes its most dangerous.</p><p>Will we see another terrorist attack? You can bet on it. The only question is: When?</p><p>Special days are often chosen for special events. Will the next mass murder be on Rosh Hashanah (September 8<sup>th</sup>)? How about the ninth anniversary of September 11? Or Yom Kippur on September 17?</p><p>Will the next incident be nuclear or conventional? Will it be staged in the U.S. or the E.U.?</p><p>And most important of all: will it be blamed on Hezbollah or Hamas? Or will the "Pakistan Taliban" be portrayed as the requisite Evil Doer responsible for the next mass murder?</p><p>Stay tuned.</p><p><em>* Jeff Gates is a widely acclaimed author, attorney, investment banker, educator and consultant to government, corporate and union leaders worldwide, Jeff Gates' latest book is <a

Same fraud-even featuring some of the same players.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>That realization adds combustibility to the facts now fueling Israel's fast-fading legitimacy.<br
/> <span
id="more-8076"></span><br
/> 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.</p><p>One key player in this long-running fraud remains unfazed: mainstream media.</p><p>In March 2002, Israeli-American <a
target="_blank" href="http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2002/03/25/020325fa_FACT1">Jeffrey Goldberg published in <em>The New Yorker</em></a> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Woolsey's intelligence was "sexed up" to sound credible. Now we know it was false. All of it.</p><p>Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.</p><p>In the consistency and common source of this duplicity lies the perilous future of Israel and its fast-shrinking legitimacy as a nation state.</p><p>The fast-growing worldwide revulsion at all things Israeli suggests that this latest fraud may yet fail-though not for lack of trying.</p><p><strong>The Liars Return</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Goldberg is now making the Evil Doer case for Iran. Writing in the <a
target="_blank"  href="http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/2010/09/the-point-of-no-return/8186/">July 22, 2008 issue of <em>The Atlantic</em></a>, he argues the Israeli case for bombing Iran and urges that the U.S. again join the fray.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p><strong>Our Faithful Ally</strong></p><p>The <a
target="_blank" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/03/world/middleeast/03cnd-iran.html">March 2008 National Intelligence Estimate</a> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p><strong>The Perils of Pending Transparency</strong></p><p>Other key factors are also driving Israel in this direction, including the need for a diversion.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Fast-emerging developments on other fronts also spell trouble for Israel.</p><p>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."</p><p><strong>Means, Motive &#038; Opportunity</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>Thus the necessity that those selling us an agenda wield influence in mainstream media.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 &#038; Co.?</p><p>Answer: you and those with whom you share these facts and analyses.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>The facts are clear and the case is now compelling: Israel is not an ally but a reliable enemy.</p><p>Goldberg, Woolsey, Perle, Gingrich, McCain, Lieberman, Miller, Blitzer, Mitchell &#038; Co. comprise an army of agents and assets enabled by an industry taken hostage by those destabilizing the U.S. from within.</p><p>Should the Zionist state again approach us for assistance-of any sort, the response must be clear and unequivocal: never again.</p><p><em>* Jeff Gates is a widely acclaimed author, attorney, investment banker, educator and consultant to government, corporate and union leaders worldwide, Jeff Gates' latest book is <a

href="http://sabbah.biz">Sabbah Report</a> | <a
href="http://www.sabbah.biz">www.sabbah.biz</a></strong></p><p>Americans know that something fundamental is amiss. They sense-rightly-that they are being misled no matter which political party does the leading.</p><p>A long misinformed public lacks the tools to grasp <em>how</em> they are being deceived. Without those tools, Americans will continue to be frustrated at being played for the fool.</p><p>When the "con" is clearly seen, "the mark" (that's us) will see that all roads lead to the same duplicitous source: Israel and its operatives. The secret to Israel's force-multiplier in the U.S. is its use of <strong><a
href="http://criminalstate.com/2009/08/how-israel-wages-war-in-plain-sight/">agents, assets and<em>sayanim</em></a></strong> <strong>(Hebrew for <em>volunteers</em>)</strong>.</p><p>When Israeli-American Jonathan Pollard was arrested for spying in 1986, Tel Aviv assured us that he was not an Israeli agent but part of a "rogue" operation. <strong><a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/07/16/does-event-honoring-israeli-spy-suggest-another-israeli-operation/">That was a lie</a>.</strong><br
/> <span
id="more-7878"></span><br
/> Only 12 years later did Tel Aviv concede that he was an Israeli spy the entire time he was stealing U.S. military secrets. That espionage-by a purported ally-damaged our national security more than any operation in U.S. history.</p><p>In short, <strong><a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/02/06/crotch-bombers-radical-cleric-anwar-al-awlaki-worked-for-fbi/">Israel played us for the fool</a>.</strong></p><p>From 1981-1985, this U.S. Navy intelligence analyst provided Israel with 360 cubic feet of classified military documents on Soviet arms shipments, Pakistani nuclear weapons, Libyan air defense systems and other intelligence sought by Tel Aviv to advance its geopolitical agenda.</p><p>Agents<em> </em>differ from assets and <em>sayanim</em>. Agents<em> </em>possess the requisite mental state to be convicted of treason, a capital crime. Under U.S. law, that internal state is what distinguishes premeditated murder from a lesser crime such as involuntary manslaughter. Though there's a death in either case, the legal liabilities are different-for a reason.</p><p>Intent is the factor that determines personal culpability. That distinction traces its roots to a widely shared belief in free will as a key component that distinguishes humans from animals.</p><p>Agents operate with premeditation and "extreme malice" or what the law describes as an "evil mind." Though that describes the mental state of Jonathan Pollard, Israeli leaders assured us otherwise-another example of an evil mind as the <strong><a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/01/17/jeff-gates-how-israel-wages-war-on-the-u-s-%E2%80%94by-way-of-deception/">U.S. was played for the fool</a>.</strong></p><p><strong>Played for the Fool, Again</strong></p><p>Pollard took from his office more than one million documents for copying by his Israeli handler. When those classified materials were transferred to the Soviets, reportedly in exchange for the emigration of Russian Jews, this spy operation shifted the entire dynamics of the Cold War.</p><p>To put a price tag on this espionage, imagine $20 trillion in U.S. Cold War defense outlays from 1948-1989 (in 2010 dollars). The bulk of that investment in national security was negated by a spy working for a nation that pretended throughout to be a U.S. ally.</p><p>Pollard was sentenced to life in prison. Israel suffered no consequences. None. Zero. Nada. Not then. Not now. Then as now, we were played for the fool.</p><p>At trial, Pollard claimed he wasn't stealing <em>from</em> the U.S.; he was stealing secrets <em>for</em> Israel-with whom the U.S. has long had a "special relationship." He thought we should have shared our military secrets with them. That's chutzpah. That also confirms we were played for the fool.</p><p>Looking back, it's easy to see how seamlessly we segued from a global Cold War to a global War on Terrorism. In retrospect, the false intelligence used to induce our invasion of Iraq was traceable to Israelis, pro-Israelis or Israeli assets such as John McCain (see below).</p><p>Even while in prison, Pollard's iconic status among Israelis played a strategic role. Was it just coincidence that Tel Aviv announced a $1 million grant to their master spy less than two weeks before 911? Is that <em>how</em> Israel signaled its operatives in the U.S.?</p><p>Did that grant have any relationship to the "<a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/06/14/gordon-duff-dancing-israeli-film-studios-present-faked-attack-videos/">dancing Israelis</a>" who were found filming and celebrating that mass murder as both jets smashed into the <strong><a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2009/12/08/america-s-terrorist-ally/">World Trade Center</a>?</strong></p><p>Absent that provocation, would we now find ourselves at war in the Middle East? Surely no one still believes that America's interests are being advanced in a quagmire that has now become the longest war in U.S. history.</p><p>"I know what America is," Benjamin Netanyahu told a group of Israelis in 2001, apparently not knowing his words were being recorded. "America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction."</p><p>Let's face it: <strong><a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/01/19/new-jeff-gates-video-israels-role-in-terrorism/">the U.S. was again played for the fool</a>.</strong></p><p>With oversight by Israeli case officers (<em>katsas</em>), Israeli operations proceed in the U.S. by using agents, assets and volunteers (<em>sayanim</em>). Let's take a closer look at each.</p><p><strong>The Sayanim System</strong></p><p><em><strong>S</strong>ayanim</em> (singular <em>sayan</em>) are shielded from conventional legal culpability by being told only enough to perform their narrow role. Though their help may be essential to the success of an Israeli operation, these volunteers (<em>sayanim</em> also means <em>helpers</em>) could pass a polygraph test because their recruiters ensure they remain ignorant of the overall goals of an operation.</p><p>In other words, a <em>sayan </em>can operate as an accomplice but still not be legally liable due to a lack of the requisite intent regarding the broader goals-of which they are <em>purposely</em> kept ignorant. Does that intentional "ignorance" absolve them of liability under U.S. law? So far, yes.</p><p>Much like military reservists, <em>sayanim</em> are activated when needed to support an operation. By agreeing to be available to help Israel, they provide an on-call undercover corps and force-multiplier that can be deployed on short notice.</p><p><em>How</em> are <em>sayanim</em> called to action? To date, there's been no attempt by U.S. officials to clarify that key point. This may explain why Pollard was again in the news on July 13<sup>th</sup> with a high-profile Israeli commemoration of his 9000<sup>th</sup> day of incarceration.</p><p>To show solidarity with this Israeli-American traitor, the lights encircling Jerusalem were darkened while an appeal was projected onto the walls of the Old City urging that President Obama order Pollard's release from federal prison.</p><p>Pollard has long been a rallying point for Jewish nationalists, Zionist extremists and ultra-orthodox ideologues. In short, just the sort of people who would be likely recruits as <em>sayanim</em>. The news coverage given this Day of Adoration may help explain <em>how</em> Israel signals its helpers that an operation is underway and in need of their help.</p><p>Are pro-Israelis once again playing Americans for the fool?</p><p>When not aiding an ongoing operation, <em>sayanim</em> gather and report intelligence useful to Israel. This volunteer corps is deeply imbedded in legislative bodies, particularly in the U.S.</p><p>Thus far, this Israeli operation has advanced with legal impunity as the Israel lobby-though acting as a foreign agent-continues even now to pose as a "domestic" operation.</p><p>Morris Amitay, former executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, explains how this invisible cadre aids the Israel lobby in advancing its geopolitical agenda:</p><p>"There are a lot of guys at the working level up here [on Capitol Hill]...who happen to be Jewish, who are willing...to look at certain issues in terms of their Jewishness...These are all guys who are in a position to make the decision in these areas for those senators...You can get an awful lot done just at the staff level."</p><p>What <em>sayanim</em> are not told by their <em>katsas</em> is that an Israeli operation may endanger not only Israel but also the broader Jewish community when these operations are linked to extremism, terrorism, organized crime, espionage and treason. Though <em>sayanim</em> "must be 100 percent Jewish," Ostrovsky reports in<em> </em><strong><em><a
href="http://www.amazon.com/Way-Deception-Making-Mossad-officer/dp/0971759502">By Way of Deception</a></em></strong> (1990):</p><p>"...the Mossad does not seem to care how devastating it could be to the status of the Jewish people in the Diaspora if it was known. The answer you get if you ask is: "So what's the worst that could happen to those Jews? They'd all come to Israel. Great!" [Mossad is the intelligence and foreign operations directorate for Israel.]</p><p><strong>Assets, Agents and <em>Sayanim</em></strong></p><p><em> </em></p><p>Assets are people profiled in sufficient depth that they can be relied upon to perform consistent with their profile. Such people typically lack the state of mind required for criminal culpability because they lack the requisite<em> intent</em> to commit a crime.</p><p>Nevertheless, assets are critical to the success of Israeli operations in the U.S. They help simply by pursuing their profiled personal needs-typically for recognition, influence, money, sex, drugs or the greatest drug of all: ideology.</p><p>Thus the mission-critical task fulfilled by political assets that the Israel lobby "produces" for long-term service in the Congress-while appearing to represent their U.S. constituents.</p><p>Put a profiled asset in a pre-staged time, place and circumstance-over which the Israel lobby can exert considerable influence-and Israeli psy-ops specialists can be confident that, <em>within an acceptable range of probabilities</em>, an asset will act consistent with his or her profile.</p><p>Democrat or Republican is irrelevant; the strategic point remains the same: to ensure that lawmakers perform consistent with Israel's interests. With the help of McCain-Feingold campaign finance "reform," the<strong> <a
href="http://australiansforpalestine.com/7402">Israel lobby</a></strong> attained virtual control over the U.S. Congress.</p><p>The performance of assets in the political sphere can be anticipated with sufficient confidence that outcomes become foreseeable-<em>within an acceptable range of probabilities</em>. How difficult was it to predict the outcome when Bill Clinton, a classic asset, encountered White House intern Monica Lewinsky?</p><p><strong><a
href="http://criminalstate.com/press/Chapter4.pdf">Senator John McCain</a> </strong>has long been a predictable asset. His political career traces its origins to organized crime from the 1920s. It was organized crime that first drew him to Arizona to run for Congress four years before the 1986 retirement of Senator Barry Goldwater.</p><p>By marketing his "brand" as a Vietnam-era prisoner of war, he became a reliable spokesman for Tel Aviv while being portrayed as a "war hero." No media outlet dares mention that Colonel Ted Guy, McCain's commanding officer while a POW, sought his indictment for treason for his many broadcasts for the North Vietnamese that assured the death of many U.S. airmen.</p><p>As a typical asset, it came as no surprise to see McCain and Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, a self-professed Zionist, used to market the phony intelligence that took us to war in Iraq. McCain's ongoing alliance with transnational organized crime spans three decades.</p><p>His 1980's advocacy for S&amp;L crook Charles Keating of "The Keating 5" finds a counterpart in his recent meetings with Russian-Israeli mobster Oleg Deripaska who at age 40 held $40 billion in wealth defrauded from his fellow Russians.</p><p>McCain conceded earlier this month in a town hall meeting in Tempe, Arizona that he met in a small dinner in Switzerland with mega-thief Deripaska and Lord Rothschild V.</p><p>For assets such as McCain to be indicted for treason, the American public must grasp the critical role that such pliable personalities play in political manipulations. McCain is a "poster boy" for how assets are deployed to shape decisions such as those that took our military to war. In the Information Age, if that's not treason, what is?</p><p>The predictability of a politician's conduct confirms his or her qualifications as an asset. They are routinely developed and "produced" over lengthy periods of time and then-as with John McCain-maintained in key positions to influence decision-making as key junctures.</p><p>Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was candid in his assessment four weeks after 911. He may have been thinking about John McCain when he made this revealing comment:</p><p>"I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it." [October 3, 2001]</p><p><strong>Indictments for Treason</strong></p><p>Are assets culpable? Do they have the requisite intent to indict them for treason? Does John McCain possess an evil mind? Did he betray this nation of his own free will or is he typical of those assets with personalities so weak and malleable that they can easily be manipulated?</p><p>As federal grand juries are impaneled to identify and indict participants in this trans-generational operation, how many <em>sayanim</em> should the Federal Bureau of Investigation expect to uncover in the U.S.? No one knows because this subtle form of treason is not yet well understood.</p><p>Victor Ostrovksy, a former Mossad <em>katsa</em> (case officer) wrote in 1990 that the Mossad had 7,000 <em>sayanim</em> in London alone. In London's 1990 population of 6.8 million, Israel's all-volunteer corps represented one-tenth of one percent of the residents of that capital city.</p><p>If Washington, DC is ten times more critical to Israel's geopolitical goals (an understatement), does that mean the FBI should expect to find ten times more <em>sayanim</em> per capita in Washington?</p><p>What about <em>sayanim </em>in Manhattan, Miami, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Boston, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, Toledo?</p><p>No one knows. And Tel Aviv is unlikely to volunteer the information. This we know for certain: America has been played for the fool. And so has our military.</p><p>This duplicity dates back well before British Foreign Secretary Alfred Balfour wrote to an earlier Lord Rothschild in 1917 citing UK approval for a "Jewish homeland." In practical effect, that "homeland" now ensures non-extradition for senior operatives in transnational organized crime.</p><p>To date, America has blinded itself even to the possibility of such a <strong><a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/05/25/watching-israel-delegitimize-the-u-s/">trans-generational operation inside our borders</a> </strong>and imbedded inside our government. Instead the toxic charge of <a
href="../archives/2010/03/16/anti-semitism-what-is-it/"><strong>"anti-Semitism"</strong> </a>is routinely hurled at those chronicling the "how" component of this systemic treason.</p><p>Making this treason transparent is essential to restore U.S. national security. That transparency may initially appear unfair to the many moderate and secular Jews who join others appalled at this systemic corruption of the U.S. political system.</p><p>Yet they are also concerned that somehow they may be portrayed as <a
href="http://criminalstate.com/guilt-by-association/"><strong>guilty by association</strong> </a>due to a shared faith tradition. That would be not only unjust to them but also ineffective in identifying and indicting those complicit.</p><p>This much is certain: <strong><a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2009/10/22/us-interests-vs-the-jewish-state/">a Democrat as president offers no real alternative</a></strong> to a Republican on those issues affecting U.S. policy in the Middle East.</p><p>Today's corruption predates <a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/02/10/zionism-unmasked/">the duplicity in 1948</a> that induced Harry Truman to extend recognition to this extremist enclave as a<strong> </strong><a

/> Which nation's nuclear arsenal is problematic?</strong></p><p>The U.S.-Israeli relationship has long been America's Achilles heel. Our first president warned against "entangled alliances" particularly when, as here, there's a "passionate attachment."</p><p>Our "special relationship" with this rogue state has placed the U.S. outside the same system of international law that we now seek to impose on others, including Iran.</p><p>Our handling of the current crisis on the Korean peninsula could restore our tattered reputation.</p><p>What's the first issue that needs to be addressed?</p><p>Here's where you the reader may well ask: "Do you mean the issue concerning the collapse of Building 7 of the World Trade Center?" No, but nor is that question irrelevant to this latest crisis.<br
/> <span
id="more-7103"></span><br
/> Here's the second issue that must be addressed: to which nations has Israel transferred nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons technology? Is North Korea on the list?</p><p>That issue became relevant with the release of <em>The Unspoken Alliance: Israel's Secret Relationship with Apartheid South Africa</em>. Archival research by author Sasha Polakowsky-Suransky uncovered "top secret" minutes of a military agreement signed in April 1975 between Shimon Peres, now president of Israel, and South Africa's defense minister P.W. Botha.</p><p>Though Israel denies the conclusions reached by reporters for <a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/may/23/israel-south-africa-nuclear-weapons" target="_blank">The Guardian</a> (U.K.), the agreement suggests an offer of nuclear weapons while its Apartheid regime was under international sanctions.</p><p>Israel was then building a surrogate arms industry in South Africa using what was, in practical effect, slave labor. That industry has since moved to Israel where it employs "guest workers." Peres was responsible for building Israel's nuclear program with help from France in the 1950s.</p><p>Some weeks before the offer, Israel and South Africa signed a covert agreement (code name Secment) governing their military alliance. In the subsequent meetings, "correct payload" was used to describe the nuclear warheads Israel would provide for a Jericho missile system. As <em>The Guardian</em> explained:</p><p>"The use of a euphemism, the 'correct payload', reflects Israeli sensitivity over the nuclear issue and would not have been used had it been referring to conventional weapons... the only payload the South Africans would have needed to obtain from Israel was nuclear. The South Africans were capable of putting together other warheads."</p><p>South Africa did not go ahead with the deal it was offered though it did develop its own nuclear weapons, possibly with Israeli assistance. The Apartheid government revealed the program to Nelson Mandela when he became president.</p><p>In 1986, nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu revealed Israel's nuclear weapons program to the <em>Sunday Times</em> (London). Vanunu was kidnapped by Mossad agents in Rome and returned for trial in Israel. Sentenced to 18 years, he served 11 years in solitary confinement. On May 23<sup>rd</sup>, he was sentenced to another three months in prison for breaking the terms of his release by having unauthorized meetings with foreigners.</p><p><strong>Evil Doers vs. Evil Doing</strong></p><p>Even now Israel strives against all odds to maintain "ambiguity" about its nuclear weapons. But how can you offer nuclear weapons you don't have?</p><p>Who provided nuclear technology to North Korea? That backward state, now nuclear-armed, was included in G.W. Bush's post-911 "Axis of Evil" speech. <a
href="http://www.salon.com/books/review/2004/01/30/frum_perle" target="_blank">Care to guess which Israeli-American wrote that speech</a>?</p><p>Shortly thereafter the U.S. invaded Iraq to remove an Evil Doer. Only later did we learn that our "flawed" intelligence was "fixed" around a goal long sought by Israel as chronicled in <a
href="http://www.iasps.org/strat1.htm" target="_blank">A Clean Break</a>, a <a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/01/19/new-jeff-gates-video-israels-role-in-terrorism/" target="_blank">strategy document </a>written for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by a team of <a
href="http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2010/04/30/dual-loyalty-revisited/">Israeli-Americans</a> led by Richard Perle.</p><p>In 2001, Perle became chairman of the Pentagon's <a
href="http://www.aei.org/scholar/49" target="_blank">Defense Policy Review Board</a>.</p><p>The United Nations has long been scheduled to review the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to consider the creation of a Middle East free of nuclear weapons.

href="http://www.sabbah.biz">www.sabbah.biz</a></strong></p><p>In March 2001, Indonesian Intelligence Chief Arie Kumaat asked American James M. ("Mel") Rockefeller to assess the Taliban's destruction of the two ancient Buddhas of Bamyan carved into a sandstone cliff in central Afghanistan 140 miles northwest of Kabul.</p><p>Familiar with psychological operations (psy-ops) that involve lengthy pre-staging, Kumaat inquired of Rockefeller in Jakarta why that incident occurred at that time and place.</p><p>Kumaat also noted the curious timing of two other operations: (a) a Defense minister in India had recently been caught in a bribery scandal involving an Israeli company, and (b) that same Israeli firm attempted to bribe the Malaysian Defense Minister.</p><p>Six months prior to 911, the motivation for the Bamyan incident was difficult to discern. In hindsight, we now know that high profile event branded the Taliban globally as Evil Doers.</p><p>What about the briberies? The amounts involved were too small, Rockefeller suggested, to constitute real bribes. Rather, both were attempts to change key personnel though it was not yet clear to what end. Since 911, the reason for the timing of those Israeli operations comes more clearly into focus.</p><p>In national security parlance, the dynamiting of the Buddhas "prepared the mind" of a global public for whom the Taliban remained an obscurity until their extremism was branded by that well timed event. The briberies will be addressed in a subsequent analysis. Suffice it to say that both involved the pre-staging of "out-of-theater" operations.</p><p><span

/> <strong>By Way of Deception</strong></p><p>For those skilled at Information Age warfare, the relevant battlefield is the public's shared field of consciousness. In that intangible realm, the power of association is routinely deployed to create lasting impressions as a means of mental manipulation.</p><p>In preparing that ‘field' for an emerging narrative, mainstream media depicted the incident at Bamyan as a "cultural Holocaust." Akin to the casting of a movie, by September 11, 2001, the intolerant Taliban had already been cast as a credible enemy of liberal democracies.</p><p>When the reaction to 911 triggered a global search for a plausible Evil Doer, the narrative quickly became a morality play with the U.S. pitted against extremists who hate our values.</p><p>As a nation, we segued seamlessly from a global Cold War-against those who hate our values to a Global War on Terrorism-against those who hate our values.</p><p>The violence inflicted on the peaceful Buddhas of Bamyan also brought Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar onto the battlefield of consciousness-where he remains.</p><p>In the unfolding of this storyline, Omar became the oft-featured Epitome of Evil, akin to a Muslim Darth Vader from Star Wars films. Or Saddam Hussein in the lead-up to war in Iraq.</p><p><strong>Best Story Wins</strong></p><p>This brief overview of "field-based warfare" brings us to the latest incident in New York again featuring in a starring role Mullah Omar as leader of the "Pakistan Taliban."</p><p>But first a brief review of three recent events.</p><p>Keep in mind that when waging game theory warfare, it is not the incident but <em>the reaction</em> that advances the narrative. The cascade of reactions to an incident is what gains traction for a storyline when manipulating minds in that "field." See: <a
href="http://criminalstate.com/2010/04/can-the-u-s-beat-israel-at-their-game/">Can the U.S. Beat Israel at Their Game?</a></p><p>The first incident was the December 2007 murder of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Mark Siegel, her Ashkenazim biographer and lobbyist, assured U.S. Secretary of State Condi Rice that the return to Pakistan of the corrupt but widely popular Bhutto was "the only possible way that we could guarantee stability and keep the presidency of Musharraf intact."</p><p>Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf had announced that an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine was critical to end the conflicts in Iraq and neighboring Afghanistan. That comment made him a target of those for whom that occupation has long served a strategic purpose.</p><p>Bhutto's death was blamed on the Pakistan Taliban. The reaction resulted in the replacement of Musharraf with Asif Ali Zardari, Bhutto's notoriously corrupt husband. By our alliance with Zardari, the U.S. could be cast as extending its corrupting influence in the region. See: <a

href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2009/12/08/america-s-terrorist-ally/">Israel's Role in Terrorism</a></p><p>In August 2008, Ashkenazim General David Kezerashvili returned to Georgia from Tel Aviv to lead an assault on separatists in South Ossetia with the support of Israeli arms and training. That out-of-theater crisis ignited Cold War tensions between the U.S. and Russia, key members of the Quartet (along with the EU and the UN) pledged to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict. Russia was then negotiating an energy agreement with Iran.</p><p>The incident in Georgia was the second of three prepare-the-mind events. Third was "India's 911" in November 2008 when extremists recruited from the tribal regions of western Pakistan killed 173 and wounded more than 300 in Mumbai, India's financial center.</p><p>The attack included a hostel run by Chabad Lubavitch, an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect from New York. In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced: "Our world is under attack."</p><p>Livni then argued: "Israel, India and the rest of the free world are positioned in the forefront of the battle against terrorists and extremism." By its exclusion, Pakistan was indicted.</p><p>By standing "shoulder to shoulder" with India (the signature phrase of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon), Tel Aviv associated India with Israel's victim status.</p><p>The response to that attack drew Pakistani troops to its eastern border with India. That reaction left its Western tribal regions less well guarded and thereby plausibly more susceptible to extremist infiltrators from Afghanistan joining the Pakistan Taliban.</p><p>By May 2009, Israel had delivered to India its first of three Phalcon Airborne Warning &amp; Control Systems (AWACS). That arms sale shifted the balance of conventional air power in the region. That military alliance also confirmed what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced: "Our ties with India don't have any limitation...." See: <a
href="http://criminalstate.com/2010/01/the-israelindia-alliance/">The India/Israel Alliance</a></p><p><strong>Whose Pakistan Taliban?</strong></p><p>Now let's turn to the latest incident-also attributed to the Pakistan Taliban. Keep in mind that when waging war on the battlefield of the public's shared mind space, the power of association is routinely deployed as a form of weaponry.</p><p>The "Times Square terrorist" incident occurred at 6:30 pm on May 1<sup>st</sup>. That same day, reports emerged from London that more than 3,000 European Jews, including prominent intellectuals, had signed a petition speaking out against Israeli settlement policies and warning that <a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/may/02/european-jews-criticise-israel">systematic support for the Israeli government is dangerous</a>.</p><p>That statement garnered high praise from those aware of how peace in the Middle East has long been kept beyond reach by Israeli <em>agent provocateurs</em>. Serial provocations around the settlements issue have long been a reliable catalyst for well-timed outrage that, in turn, is cited to again defer resolution of a six-decade conflict. See: <a
href="http://criminalstate.com/2010/05/what%E2%80%99s-next-from-israel-entropy-or-outrage/">What Next for Israel: Entropy or Outrage?</a></p><p>Bernard-Henri Levy, a high-profile French writer, led that European effort. That development appeared quite positive when first announced. Then Levy began to appear as a commentator on television following the "Times Square Terrorism" as that incident was portrayed on the cover of <em>Newsweek</em>, a <em>Washington Post</em> magazine.</p><p>Rather than promote the petition and the urgent need to solve the settlements issue, instead Levy offered his appraisal of the Times Square incident. He described in depth how he studied what went on "inside the mind" of a Muslim Evil Doer who in 2002 slit the throat and then beheaded an American-Jewish reporter for <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>.</p><p>The Levy analysis injected into the "field" the most visually provocative image of the War on Terrorism featuring the epitome of both violence and extremist intolerance. Levy's well-timed on-camera recitation refreshed in the public mindset the disturbing imagery of a Muslim Evil Doer who brutally murdered and dismembered a young professional with a pregnant wife.</p><p>Levy's described for the television viewer the mental state of the psychopathic Muslim profiled in his book <em>Who Killed Danny Pearl?</em> Where did this evil doing occur? In Pakistan.</p><p><strong>Is U.S. Foreign Policy Shaped from the Shadows?</strong></p><p>As Levy's account was injected into the field at the same time as the Time Square Bomber, the U.N. Security Council then had under review a 15-year old proposal for a treaty that would create a Middle East free of nuclear weapons.</p><p>The timing of these developments could be coincidental. Yet consider another possibility.</p><p>Assume your numbers are few but your ambitions vast. The confirmed facts point to the manipulation of U.S. foreign policy from the shadows with phony intelligence that induced the U.S. to invade Iraq in pursuit of a Muslim Evil Doer that had nothing to do with that incident. Is it possible that this latest incident had a strategic purpose that is not yet clear to the public?</p><p>If, as the facts suggest, advisers to President Barack Obama are advancing a pro-Israeli agenda, could the timing of this incident be a means to exert influence from outside the White House?</p><p>Could that be because their influence inside the White House has become apparent? See: <a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/01/15/jeff-gates-america-needs-pakistan%E2%80%99s-help-again-part-5/">Will Israel Assassinate Barack Obama?</a></p><p>The facts suggest that Obama, as U.S. commander-in-chief, is feeling pressure from the military to change our policy on Israel. Did the timing of these "out of theatre" events help finesse that issue by refreshing a storyline that calls for the U.S. to lead a Global War on Terrorism?</p><p>Was this latest incident timed to provide a rationale with which our policy-makers can preempt Pentagon concerns about the effect of U.S.-Israeli policy on our troops in the field? Note the military concerns described in <em>Foreign Policy</em>: <a

Security Council consideration of a treaty that could force Israel to forfeit its nuclear weapons? When was the Times Square Terrorist recruited by the "Pakistan Taliban"?</p><p>Is this how a war-making narrative is sustained, using well-timed crises staged in a nonlinear fashion such that their common origin is diffused in the "field"?</p><p>Could that explain the well-timed murder of Benazir Bhutto by the "Pakistan Taliban"? Could that explain the well-timed destabilizing impact on Pakistan of the recent "911" attack on Mumbai using operatives recruited and trained in Pakistan? Was this too the "Pakistan Taliban"?</p><p>In a televised May 10<sup>th</sup> interview, General Stanley McChrystal explained that winning the current war in the Middle East requires a "change in perception." Is that the purpose of these well-timed crises? Are they meant to refresh our fear of the "Pakistan Taliban"?</p><p>The displacement of facts with false beliefs induced us to invade Iraq consistent with a narrative that was revitalized by this latest well-timed "incident." Is the American public again being manipulated by those skilled at managing perceptions?</p><p>Is this incident a high profile example of field-based warfare being waged on America? Are we in the midst of another psy-ops?</p><p>Is that possible? Could there be a sufficient critical mass of like-minded operatives in positions of influence capable of inducing enough minds to freely embrace another war that is not in our interest?</p><p>Is it possible in the Information Age that psy-ops could operate on such a scale? Is there sufficient collateral support in key decision-making quarters to again deceive an entire nation in plain sight yet, to date, with legal impunity?</p><p>Pakistan has long been an ally of the U.S. So was Iraq. Likewise Iran was an ally in recent history. Where are we to find this purported "Axis of Evil"? Does its source reside in nation-states? Or does this evil reside in the <a
href="http://criminalstate.com/">mental state</a> of those skilled at manipulating the minds of others to wage war on false pretenses?</p><p><strong>War in Iraq Could Have Been Prevented</strong></p><p>The answers to those questions may need to await an official, good faith investigation of the three-decade experience of Mel Rockefeller who has been profiling the common source of this duplicity-from the inside-since 1982. That experience remains ongoing.</p><p>In March 2001, he and Indonesian intelligence chief Arie Kumaat were not then able to detect the pre-staging of the mass murder on U.S. soil that emerged six months later.</p><p>After that provocation and before the manipulated response (the invasion of Iraq), Kumaat agreed to schedule a meeting for Rockefeller with former Indonesian president Abdurrahman Wahid. A religious and political leader of 80 million moderate Muslim men, Wahid had recently presided over the world's largest Muslim nation.</p><p>Rockefeller knew the Wahid meeting would lead to a meeting with Malaysian president Mahathir bin Mohamad. This Muslim leader was familiar with the common source of many of today's troubles, including a well timed attempt to topple the Malaysian Minister of Defense.</p><p>Plus Kumaat had uncovered a multi-billion dollar Israeli bribe that would have destabilized the entire Indonesia government reportedly organized with the help of a nonprofit funded by American George Soros. See: <a
href="http://www.veteranstoday.com/2009/12/18/jeff-gates-the-truth-about-america-and-pakistan/">The Truth About America and Pakistan</a></p><p>With all two Muslim nations appraised of the common Israeli source of this manipulation, could the invasion of Iraq have been stopped?</p><p>With that knowledge, could a "coalition of the willing" have been assembled to support that U.S.-led invasion? Would other nations have been energized to resist? We may never know.</p><p>Soon after agreeing to set that meeting with Wahid, Arie Kumaat was poisoned. He received a state funeral in January 2002, four months after the provocation that took the U.S. to war against Muslim Evil Doers.</p><p>Though the official account of his death cited a heart attack, a family autopsy reportedly detected the poison used to induce a heart attack. That account was confirmed in an interview with Kumaat's son, Henrie. See: <a

The facts suggest that such warfare is only "unconventional" for those targeted. For the aggressor, this form of warfare is standard operating procedure.</p><p>Those waging war from the shadows imbed their operatives in that realm "in between" a targeted populace and the facts they require for a system of governance reliant on informed consent. By displacing facts with false beliefs, mental manipulation can proceed in plain sight.</p><p>Between a deceived American public and the facts they required to assess whether to wage war in Iraq were legions of pro-Israeli operatives. Many of those operatives are imbedded in media, a key in-between domain essential for success in field-based warfare.</p><p>Thus, for example, the critical agenda-advancing role played by CNN's Wolf Blitzer. He even branded his broadcasting set "The Situation Room" to lend White House-associative credibility on a network branded as "the most trusted name in news." See: <a
href="http://criminalstate.com/2009/08/israel%E2%80%99s-fifth-column-the-people-in-between/">Israel's Fifth Column: The People in Between</a></p><p>Likewise <em>New York Times</em> "reporter" Judith Miller who featured on its front page the false intelligence provided by Ahmed Chalabi, head of the credible-sounding "Iraqi National Congress." This Iraqi expatriate and London-based Iraqi liar served as a reliable and pliable Israeli asset developed over two decades by pro-Israeli operatives, including Richard Perle who in 2001 became chairman of the U.S. Defense Policy Advisory Board.</p><p>This form of Information Age treason could only succeed if hidden in plain sight. Today's fast-paced velocity of information ensures that media impressions now shape political agendas. Thus the importance of "the people in between" in manipulating U.S. foreign policy.</p><p><strong>Out-of-Theater Repositioning</strong></p><p>Pro-Israelis in the Obama administration could no longer directly shape Middle East policy after General David Petraeus, head of Central Command, complained to the Joint Chiefs about the adverse impact of the U.S.-Israeli relationship on U.S. interests in the region.</p><p>Could that explain the utility of an "out of theater" incident to refresh the narrative? That may explain the timing of an incident in a high-profile venue (Times Square) featuring a power-of-association component (New York) that could plausibly be attributed to Pakistan as a source of violent Islamic extremists.</p><p>The control wielded in Washington by the Israel lobby remains little known to mainstream Americans. As our representatives in what was meant to be a representative system of governance, the U.S. Congress now epitomizes "the people in between." See: <a

If the War on Terrorism loses credibility, the resulting stability will provide Americans with the breathing space required to identify the real enemy. And to begin rooting out a deeply entrenched treason.</p><p><strong>This Can Only End Badly</strong></p><p>Meanwhile business-as-usual continues in plain sight. The day after Israel was admitted to the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu charged that Iran is provoking Israel to wage war with Syria.</p><p>When President Shimon Peres denied this week that Israel would go to war with Syria, he meant that Syria is the likely rationale for the next crisis. When on May 11<sup>th</sup> he declared in Moscow that nuclear terror is the world's greatest threat, rest assured that game theory war planners in Tel Aviv have in place a plausible plan for blaming such an incident on Iran-backed Hezbollah.</p><p>The same day that "proximity talks" began, the Palestinians confirmed that Israel had another settlement underway in East Jerusalem. The next day, the Israeli minister for public safety announced that Israel will demolish Arab homes in East Jerusalem.</p><p>On May 12<sup>th</sup> ("Jerusalem Day"), the U.S.-based Conference of Presidents (of Major American Jewish Organizations) took a full-page ad in <em>The New York Times</em> to proclaim "Jerusalem in the Heart of the Jewish People." Meanwhile, Netanyahu announced from Israel, "We will never divide Jerusalem."</p><p>When this Likud Party leader calls for peace while insisting on conditions that make peace impossible, rest assured that more provocations are planned.</p><p>The latest storyline in search of traction: Syrian-provided poison-gas missiles pose a threat to Israel from Lebanon-based, Iran-backed Hezbollah. As the war on terrorism is rebranded, it is not yet clear how the Pakistan Taliban will be worked into the narrative.</p><p>All we know for certain is that Muslims will remain the Evil Doers in this storyline. And that Israelis will once again be cast as hapless victims.</p><p>Anticipating a tactical need to collapse another government, Israeli politicians are in discussions about an alliance between the Kadima Party and the Labor Party. When the latest Likud coalition falters, the resulting political instability will inject into the field the requisite "entropy" for Israel to continue on its current path without a government with whom other nations can negotiate.</p><p>See: <a

href="http://www.sabbah.biz">www.sabbah.biz</a></strong></p><p>Four-fifths of the U.S. House and Senate recently declared in correspondence to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the U.S. must reaffirm its "unbreakable bond" with Israel. What persuaded our Congress to proclaim their loyalty to Israel while our military is waging war in the Middle East based on fabricated intelligence?</p><p>Any sober assessment of this bond must concede a need to reappraise its cost in blood and treasure. Yet the Congress-our Congress-opposed that reassessment even as our commander-in-chief seeks to end a brutal Israeli occupation of Palestine that has provoked worldwide outrage for more than six decades.</p><p>The Congress and the president are sworn to the same oath of office. That oath obliges them to protect the U.S. from all threats, both foreign and domestic. The facts confirm a common pro-Israeli source of the phony intelligence that took our military to war in Iraq. All the evidence points to Israel or its surrogates, including those in the Congress. Is that why the Israel lobby pressed the Congress for a pledge of allegiance to Israel?</p><p><span

/> <strong>Giving Aid and Comfort</strong></p><p>The U.S.-Israeli relationship has proven itself a consistent threat to our national security. That peril has only worsened with time. Tel Aviv's massive land grab in 1967 was not "defensive"- as Israeli leaders have since conceded. That assault on its neighbors was a long-planned seizure of territory that Zionists see as rightly theirs as part of Greater Israel.</p><p>That attack provoked precisely the reaction that any competent war-planning game theorist could foresee as Israeli conduct outraged everyone in the region. As Israel's loyal ally, the U.S., was widely perceived as guilty for our unfailing support of an expansionist agenda that the Pentagon urged we shut down in 1948.</p><p>In advising President Harry Truman against recognition of this extremist enclave as a legitimate state, the Joint Chiefs detailed the Zionists' "fanatical concepts" including their plans for "military and economic hegemony over the entire Middle East." Our military was correct.</p><p>Facing a decline in his approval ratings and bare campaign coffers in the lead-up to his 1948 presidential race, Truman put his signature on a two-sentence note that on May 14th extended what the Zionists sought: U.S. recognition. That decision began a "special relationship" that has proven consistently harmful to U.S. interests.</p><p>The Truman campaign train was then "refueled" with $400,000 from grateful Zionists ($3.6 million in 2010 dollars). As editorial support from pro-Israeli media shifted in Truman's favor, his approval surged long enough for him to prevail in November over New York's Tom Dewey.</p><p>Absent the Holocaust, Truman could not have recognized Zionism as a lawful basis for a sovereign state in Palestine over intense opposition from Secretary of State George Marshall, the Pentagon, the State Department Policy Planning staff and the Central Intelligence Agency. All were adamantly opposed, as were members of the U.S. diplomatic corps. They knew better.</p><p>While the politics of campaign finance clearly played a role, Truman also acted out of humanitarian and religious concerns informed by his Christian Zionist upbringing in rural Missouri where he famously read the Bible cover-to-cover five times by age 15.</p><p>His decision was also shaped by sentiments developed as a youngster steeped in a fundamentalist Baptist theology that revered the Jews' "return to Zion" as a prerequisite for the return of the Christian messiah.</p><p>Fast forward to 2001 when, in reaction to the provocation of a mass murder on U.S. soil, another Christian Zionist (G.W. Bush) was predisposed to support a military response that coincided with an expansionist agenda long sought by those our military earlier described as fanatics.</p><p><strong>The Six-Day Land Grab</strong></p><p>In the minds of those who comprise the Jewish Diaspora, the Six-Day War of 1967 reactivated the mental and emotional insecurity associated with the fascists of WWII. In combination, those two events catalyzed a worldwide "internal Diaspora" based on:</p><ul><li>Nationalism-a shared emotional bond among those persuaded they share an identity of interest between themselves and a piece of real estate on which they may never set foot. After the Six-Day War, the state of Israel became the Land of Israel based on the more expansive area it occupied and the additional territory it has yet to seize.</li><li>Insecurity-a shared sense of vulnerability and victimhood as Jews saw themselves pitted against a widely marketed and steadily shifting threat. After September 2001, the 1967 "Arab Ring of Steel" morphed into the threat of "Islamo-fascism." When, as now, Israeli policies come under attack, media campaigns claim an outbreak of "anti-Semitism."</li></ul><p>Throughout this saga, certain facts have been taken for granted that are now being questioned. The Zionist premise of the Right of Return relies on an historical account now under scholarly assault. In The Invention of the Jewish People, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand challenges the factual accuracy both of the Exile and the Exodus, thereby putting in question the legitimacy of the Return, the moral foundation for Israeli statehood in Palestine.</p><p>As Egyptologists point out, this ancient civilization records little of an Exodus even though Egyptian kings were meticulous in documenting details of their monarchies. How then did such a cataclysmic event as the parting of the sea and the drowning of a mighty king along with his army pass undocumented by the Egyptians while filling an entire chapter of the Torah? Where does fact end and fiction begin?</p><p>Christians and Muslims were weaned on similar oral histories. Both faiths are derived from Judaism, an earlier religion also "of the book." Yet the two derivatives were induced to wage war with each other by those long skilled at displacing facts with what a targeted populace can be deceived to believe-as with the fabricated "facts" about Iraq WMD, Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda, Iraqi mobile biological weapons labs and so forth. All were false. Yet all were widely believed.</p><p><strong>A Promised Land of Myth-Makers and Story Tellers</strong></p><p>Bound by a shared anxiety and the allure of a Promised Land offering refuge through a Right of Return, Israel initially emerged as a shared mental state. In 1948, that mental state emerged as a physical "homeland" in Palestine offering residency for those it considered "Jewish."</p><p>In combination, the Holocaust and the Six-Day War made Zionism a geopolitical possibility. Without the fascist abuses of WWII, Truman's recognition of Zionism as a legitimate state would have proven impossible. Absent the 1967 war, moderate Jews would have continued their opposition to a "Jewish state" as a barrier to assimilation and contrary to their values.</p><p>By regarding an enclave of religious fanatics as an entity on a par with other sovereign nations, forces were set in motion that were destined to discredit and endanger the U.S. Anti-Zionist Jews rightly worried that this expansion-seeking "state" would imperil the broader faith tradition by enabling all Jews to be portrayed as foreign agents of an aggressor nation.</p><p>Moderate Jews saw that charges of "dual loyalty" could be deployed to impugn by association even those Jews appalled at what Israel was destined to become-as the Pentagon predicted.</p><p>Meanwhile pressure from the Israel lobby discredited the U.S. worldwide by ensuring Congressional indifference to six decades of Palestinian suffering. Adding insult to injury, the lobby again prevailed by persuading Congress to proclaim this "unbreakable bond."</p><p><strong>Turning Fiction to Fact</strong></p><p>Tel Aviv's 1967 land grab also enabled the "Israelites"-with support from their Christian Zionist allies-to occupy territory that Jewish Zionists consider theirs-because they are Jewish.</p><p>Thus the strategic necessity to oppose anyone who challenges either Israel's retention of occupied land or its seizure of more territory for a more expansive Land of Israel. Or, as Jewish fundamentalists argue, the "redemption" of land that is rightly theirs as The Chosen of God because the land they occupy was given to them-by a god of their own choosing.</p><p>Thus also the need to maintain an aggressive strategy that seeks to discredit, isolate, ostracize or marginalize anyone critical of Tel Aviv's expansionist policies – even when those policies undermine the prospects for peace essential to protect U.S. interests in the region. Thus the perilous timing of this Congressional pledge of allegiance to an "unbreakable bond."</p><p>Israel's treatment of its Muslim neighbors has long been appalling. Yet it is clear to all but the willfully blind that Israeli behavior is enabled by its "special relationship" with the U.S. This latest pledge makes it appear that Israeli conduct is condoned and even welcomed by Americans-with precisely the effect on U.S. troops that the Israel lobby could anticipate. The perilous impact of this pledge on U.S. national security makes the lobby's conduct reprehensible.</p><p>Americans who want to restore our national security must hold accountable under the law those pro-Israelis who conspired to displace the facts essential to informed choice with the false beliefs that took us to war in Iraq. We also must ensure that never again are foreign interests allowed to exert such control over what little remains of "our" representative government.</p><p>The Israel lobby should be forced to register as foreign agents subject to all the restrictions that implies, including a dramatic reduction in the funding it provides to Congress.</p><p>In practical effect, those Senators and Representatives who recently pledged their loyalty to Israel gave aid and comfort to an enemy within. Those who led this latest dual loyalty effort are adhering to an enemy should rightly be indicted for treason while this nation is at war.</p><p>That crime, for good reason, was made a capital offense by those who founded this nation to protect our freedom as Americans from those who manipulate beliefs to influence behavior.</p><p>This behavior-traceable to a common source-has long undermined our national interest and endangered our military. Those elected to the Congress face a stark choice: either defend this nation and support our troops or resign.</p><p>Those who do not resign risk a charge of treason when a long-deceived American public grasps that this pledge of allegiance was made while our military remains at risk based on intelligence fabricated by those to whom Congress just pledged an unbreakable bond.</p><p>An informed public will see the signatories of this pledge as prime suspects when federal law enforcement turns to identifying and indicting those complicit in enabling this ongoing treason.</p><p>Any American not outraged is not yet fully informed. Members of the military, both active duty and retired, should let an ill-informed public know what is being done in their name.</p><p><em>* Jeff Gates is a widely acclaimed author, attorney, investment banker, educator and consultant to government, corporate and union leaders worldwide, Jeff Gates' latest book is <a
