US Terror Attack Warned Likely In ‘Ninety Days at Most’

Counterterrorism expert Juval Aviv spoke with FOX Fan Central about what Americans can do to protect themselves in case of a terror attack.

Do you believe another terrorist attack is likely on American soil?

I predict, based primarily on information that is floating in Europe and the Middle East, that an event is imminent and around the corner here in the United States. It could happen as soon as tomorrow, or it could happen in the next few months. Ninety days at the most.

What advice do you have for individuals that have the misfortune of finding themselves in the middle of a terror attack?

Since mass transportation is the next attack, when you travel to work have with you, a bottle of water, a small towel and a flashlight. What happened in London is exactly a point to look at. Those people who were close to the bombs died, then others were injured or died from inhaling the toxic fumes or getting trampled. The reason you take a bottle of water and a towel is that if you wet the towel and put it over your face, you can protect yourself against the fumes and get yourself out of there.

Don’t be bashful. If your gut feeling tells you when you walk onto a bus there is something unusual or suspicious, get out and walk away. You may do it 10 times for no reason, but there will be one time that saves your life. Let your sixth sense direct you.

Try to break your routine. If you travel during rush hour every day, try to get up a little earlier and drive to work or take the train when it’s still not full. Don’t find yourself every day in the midst of rush hour. Terrorists are not going to waste a bomb on a half-empty train.

What portion of the American infrastructure do you believe is at the greatest risk for a terror attack?

We have put all of our emphasis, right or wrong, on the aviation area. What has happened, in the last two to three years, based on information we have, is the terrorists have realized that they cannot hijack a plane in America soon because the passengers are going to fight back. So they realize what they have been very successful with over the last 50 years in Madrid, London, Iraq, Israel: demoralizing the public when they go to work and when they come back from work.

What they’re going to do is hit six, seven or eight cities simultaneously to show sophistication and really hit the public. This time, which is the message of the day, it will not only be big cities. They’re going to try to hit rural America. They want to send a message to rural America: “You’re not protected. If you figured out that if you just move out of New York and move to Montana or to Pittsburgh, you’re not immune. We’re going [to] get you wherever we can and it’s easier there than in New York.”

What more do you think the government can do to protect the public?

Number one, and this is the beef I’ve had with Homeland Security for the last four years, is educating the public on how to deal with those types of events. There’s no education. We’re raising the color code alert and that means nothing to anyone. Whether it’s green, yellow, pink, no one ever educated the public how to identify suspicious items or people. In Israel, so many of them [terrorists] have been apprehended just because people have phoned in. We don’t have that training on campuses, schools or kindergarten.

In Israel, it’s very popular right now [amongst terrorists] to put one device to explode and time another one for five minutes later when it’s all calm, people are getting up and the rescue teams have responded. You need to know all those things and think about those things. The government must pursue that. Law enforcement will never have enough people on the street to detect things. We don’t have that kind of manpower. That’s why the government must enlist the public.

FBI Informer Outed At US Collage Said Trying To Get Students To Build Bombs

Classroom confrontation on Portland State campus leaves professor in limbo, students concerned

By Noelle Crombie, The Oregonian

February 05, 2010, 8:44PM

A bizarre blowup between a professor and a student in a Portland State University classroom recently has sent ripples of concern and curiosity through the campus.

It also has prompted the student, openly accused by the professor of being an FBI informant and a killer, to hire a prominent local civil rights attorney, and led the university to launch an investigation into the educator. The school has taken the unusual step of stripping the tenured professor of his teaching responsibilities while it conducts its inquiry.

Meanwhile, others at PSU are divided along two lines: Those who think the professor did the right thing, if in an unorthodox way; and those who think his actions were strange and out of line. 

Some questions remain unanswered: Why would a tenured professor choose to openly confront a student he viewed as dangerous; and what does the situation mean for the student, who has not been charged with a crime, yet is said to have offered to teach others how to make Molotov cocktails and buy assault rifles.

Professor John Hall has not taught on campus since Jan. 14, when, during a comparative economics course, he accused a 30-year-old student of being an FBI informant and threatened to place posters of him around campus. Depending on the outcome of the internal inquiry, Hall could face a range of sanctions, including termination, said Scott Gallagher, communications director for PSU. Gallagher did not know when the inquiry would be completed.

The Oregonian made several attempts to reach Hall, who has taught at the university for 25 years, but he didn’t return messages. However, Phil Lesch, executive director for the Portland State chapter of the American Association of University Professors, defended Hall and said by e-mail Friday that Hall had asked him to act as his spokesman. The association is the union that represents faculty members.

PSU student Brett Condron, 20, who is studying German, was in class that day. He said about 40 students witnessed the confrontation between Hall and the student.

Condron said with about 30 minutes left in class, Hall made a dramatic announcement: An FBI informant was enrolled in the class. He talked about his experience with government informants in East Germany, then identified the student as Zach Bucharest.

Hall put a letter detailing his accusations on the overhead projector so the class could read it. Condron said Hall then handed Bucharest a packet to give to “his superiors.”

“And then he proceeded to say a lot of unpleasant things about Bucharest,” Condron said. For instance, he said, Hall called Bucharest a killer and said that he had the “spirit of Cain and the spirit of Judas.”

During the confrontation, Condron said, Hall snapped a digital photo of Bucharest and said that if “he ever saw him on campus again, he would plaster his photo and copies of his photos all over campus and tell everybody who he was.”

Condron said Bucharest was stoic and silent as Hall lashed out at him. Afterward, Bucharest defended himself, then walked out.

The Oregonian tried to talk to Bucharest multiple times but his attorney, Elden Rosenthal, advised his client against talking to reporters.

In one of two statements Bucharest released through Rosenthal, the student said he has admired Hall and “cannot imagine what I did or said to cause him to treat me the way he did.”

Another student in Hall’s class is Daniel Dreier, a 26-year-old economics major. He was among those who had earlier become concerned about Bucharest’s behavior.

He said at a winter term Economics Department party in December, Bucharest told a campus activist how to make a particularly effective Molotov cocktail. Dreier said Bucharest also offered to act as a middleman to help students buy military style rifles — AR-15s or AK-47s — through a gun dealer he knew in Washington and that he had access to machine guns.

In a second interview, Dreier said that Bucharest frequently told stories about confrontations involving guns and said that Bucharest had shown him a gun that he carries on campus.

Meanwhile, Lesch, the union representative, confirmed that Hall confronted Bucharest in front of the class, but did so solely out of concern for the safety of his students and the community. Lesch said Hall’s actions came after other students went to Hall with concerns that Bucharest was trying to “create a cabal of students on campus oriented toward violence.”

“There were some students who ended up being very upset but there were also students who were grateful” to Hall for confronting Bucharest, Lesch said.

He said previously a group of eight students that Hall had been advising came to him with concerns about Bucharest.

They told Hall that Bucharest “was trying to get them interested in shooting and blowing things up — all kinds of weapons, not just rifles, illegal weapons,” Lesch said. “They were scared. They had a close relationship with Professor Hall and they brought it to his attention.”

Asked why Hall didn’t go to authorities with his concerns, Lesch said Hall had extensive experience with school bureaucracy and “did not feel like taking this to campus safety was the right way to go.”

Lesch added in an e-mail that in Hall’s years at PSU, “There have been a number of occasions where his personal safety has been threatened … Hall reported these incidents through proper channels at the time, but the university either did nothing to address his concerns or dismissed his reports outright.

University officials could not be reached late Friday for response to Hall’s perception of campus security.

“In addition,” Lesch said Friday in an e-mail, “several of Professor Hall’s students, in expressing their concerns about Bucharest, conveyed that Bucharest boasted on a number of occasions about a ‘special’ relationship with campus public safety, which suggested that they might not take any complaint about him seriously.”

“Unfortunately, he ended up doing something that was very public and inflammatory and now his career is on the line,” Lesch said. “He ended up doing this knowing he could face personal negative consequences. He thought it was the most immediate way of resolving what he thought was a potential threat.”

Bucharest has been a PSU student since 2006, and a member of student government since 2009.

“Mr. Bucharest … is not and never has been an FBI agent, or an FBI informant,” Rosenthal wrote in a statement to The Oregonian.

The FBI in Portland confirmed last month, then again Thursday, that Bucharest is not an informant for the bureau.

“The suggestion that Mr. Bucharest in any way has tried to incite violence, or illegal activity, is false,” Rosenthal wrote. “The suggestion that Mr. Bucharest in any way has threatened any PSU student is false. Mr. Bucharest is disheartened that Professor Hall’s union representative is making inflammatory public statements, rather than letting the PSU investigation run its course.”

In a previous statement through Rosenthal, Bucharest said, “I truly hope that the university will take steps to clear my name.”

Hall has fans among his students at the downtown university, among them 23-year-old senior Allison Faris, who has spent five years as a college student in the United States and France.

“I would definitely classify him as one of the top five lecturers I’ve ever had in a university setting,” said Faris, who is studying French and English. “I’ve never studied economics, and he actually made the subject accessible. He contextualized it, and he made it just very fascinating.”
 

Kurt Haskell: ‘The Truth About Flight 253 Has Been Revealed’

by Flight 253 passenger Kurt Haskell

Please note that in the article that follows, I am not claiming that the U.S. Government knew Mutallab had a bomb or intended to hurt anyone on Flight 253 when the U.S. Government let him board.

THE SHARP DRESSED MAN WHO AIDED MUTALLAB ONTO FLIGHT 253 WAS A U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENT.

Since our flight landed on Christmas Day, Lori and I have been doing everything in our power to uncover the truth about why we were almost blown up in the air over Detroit. The truth is now finally out after the publication of the following Detroit News article:
http://detnews.com/article/20100127/NATION/1270405/Terror-suspect-kept-visa-to-avoid-tipping-off-larger-investigation

Let me quote from the article:

“Patrick F. Kennedy, an undersecretary for management at the State Department, said Abdulmutallab’s visa wasn’t taken away because intelligence officials asked his agency not to deny a visa to the suspected terrorist over concerns that a denial would’ve foiled a larger investigation into al-Qaida threats against the United States.

“Revocation action would’ve disclosed what they were doing,” Kennedy said in testimony before the House Committee on Homeland Security. Allowing Adbulmutallab to keep the visa increased chances federal investigators would be able to get closer to apprehending the terror network he is accused of working with, “rather than simply knocking out one solider in that effort.”‘

Now it all becomes apparent. Let me detail everything we know about the “Sharp Dressed Man” (SDM).

1. While being held in Customs on Christmas Day, I first told the story of the SDM.

2. My story has never changed.

3. The FBI visited my office on December 29, 2009, and showed me a series of approximately 10 photographs. None were of the SDM. I asked the FBI if they brought the Amsterdam security video to help me identify the SDM, but they acted as though my request was ridiculous. The FBI asked me what accent the SDM spoke in and I indicated that he had an American accent similar to my own. I further indicated that he wore a tan suit without a tie, was Indian looking, around age 50, 6′0″ tall and 250-260 lbs. I further indicated that I did not believe that he was an airline employee and that he was not on our flight.

4. During the first week of January, 2010, Dutch Military Police and the FBI indicated that over “200 Hours” of Amsterdam airport security video had been reviewed and it “Shows Nothing”.

5. The mainstream media picked up the “Shows nothing” story, which slanders my story. After visiting my office twice for a flight 253 special, Dateline NBC and Chris Hanson indicated that my story was “Unsubstantiated rumor dispelled as myth” and our story did not air during the tv special.

6. On January 2, 2010, I receive a call from a flight 253 passenger who indicated to me that it may be in my best interest to stop talking publicly about the SDM because he believes I am “wrong” in what I saw. He did not make any claim that he saw the SDM boarding gate incident at all. This call was made out of the blue after he made a “revelation” of this event on January 1, 2010. I later discover that this caller has ties to the U.S. Government.

7. On January 20, 2009, current Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), Michael E. Leiter, made a startling admission. Leiter indicated that: “I will tell you, that when people come to the country and they are on the watch list, it is because we have generally made the choice that we want them here in the country for some reason or another.”

8. On January 22, 2010, CongressDaily reported that intelligence officials “have acknowledged the government knowingly allows foreigners whose names are on terrorist watch lists to enter the country in order to track their movement and activities.”

CongressDaily also reported, citing an unnamed “intelligence official” that Michael E. Leiter’s statement on January 20, 2010, reflected government policy and told the publication, “in certain situations it’s to our advantage to be able to track individuals who might be on a terrorist watch list because you can learn something from their activities and their contacts.”

9. On Janury 22, 2009, ABC News published an article that shoed a change of position in the government’s official story. Please see the following blog post for more information:
http://haskellfamily.blogspot.com/2010/01/initially-discounted.html

The U.S. government provided no explanation for the reason my story was initially discounted.

10. The SDM could not be from Al Qaeda. When speaking at the counter in Amsterdam, the SDM said the following “He is from Sudan, we do this all the time”. Who is “we”? If it is Al Qaeda, you surely don’t make such a statement to an airposrt security official.

11. The SDM could not be from airport security. The SDM did not dress in any secuirty uniform and did not appear to have any security badge. The SDM did not speak with a Dutch accent. The SDM dressed in a suit coat and pants. If the SDM was a higher up security official, he would not have to convince the ticket agent to let Mutallab on the plane without a valid passport. Instead, he would just order her to do it.

12. Could the SDM have been a U.S. Government official? He dressed in a suit and not a security uniform. Check. He indicated we do this all the time. Could “we” be the U.S. Government? Check. He spoke Enlish with an American accent. Check. Would he need to convice the ticket agent that this was a normal procedure to allow boarding without a passport? Check. Would he have the ability to obtain such clearance? Check. Could he enter this security area even though he wasn’t a passenger? Check. Would the ticket agent likely refer this request to a manager? Check. Would the U.S. Government not want this information public and try to hide it? Check.

13. The Amsterdam security video has not been released. A much more minor airport security violation occurred at the Newark New Jersay airport several days after the flight 253 incident. That video was released shortly thereafter.

14. Senators Levin and Stabenow, as well as Congressman Dingle, all refuse to discuss the matter with me.

With the information we already knew and the admission from the above referenced Detroit News article, we have evidence and claims made by government officials that the U.S. Government wanted Mutallab to proceed into the U.S. in order to obtain information on other terrorists involved with him. Once we take this statement and add it to my eyewitness account of a “Sharp Dressed Man” escorting Mutallab through the boarding process and allowing him to baord without a valid passport we can make the connection that the “Sharp Dressed Man” was a U.S. Government offical/agent.

The reasoning behind the following events now becomes very clear:

1. The reason Mutallab got through security despite the numerous warnings for months before our flight.

2. The reason why there have been so many lies from the U.S. Governemnt attempting to discredit my eyewitness account.

3. The reason why the Amsterdam airport security video is being hidden from the public.

4. The reason why the government is proposing a “Failed to Connect the Dots” account of the failure. The truth is too damning.

5. The reason why Mr. Wolf of the Obama administration indicated on the Keith Olberman Show that the White House was investigating a possible “intentional act” from within the U.S. Government as the reason for the Christmas Day attack.

6. The explanation for the cameraman and why he hasn’t been identified (Obviously, he was another U.S. Government agent) whose job was to film Mutallab for some governmental purpose.

7. The reason for the lax security after landing, which can be attributed to foreknowledge of the possible suspects involved.

8. The reason for the failure to search or secure the plane and passengers after landing, which can also be attributed to foreknowledge of the possible suspects involved.

9. The corporate media’s attempt to bury my eyewitness account.

10. Carl Levin’s, Debbie Stabenow’s and John Dingle’s intentional avoidance of my story and failure to return my calls/emails.

11. Janet Naploitano’s statement that “The System Worked”. From her point of view it probably did as this WAS PART OF THE SYSTEM!

This article is the big center piece of the puzzle that has been missing and was needed to finish the entire puzzle.

The Next Absurd Terror Ruse: Muslim Women with Exploding Breasts

Kurt Nimmo

Infowars.com

February 7, 2010

Joseph Farah’s WorldNetDaily continues to break important news on the New World Order, one-world government, and the North American Union. However, the news website often serves as a propaganda outlet for all manner of neocon nonsense.

In order to continue the hyped Islamic terror threat, Joseph Farah and the neocons tell us Muslim women will have bombs surgically implanted in their breasts.

Case in point: Farah’sG2 Bulletin, a subscription online newsletter. In the latest edition, Mr. Farah claims we should fear Muslim women because trained surgeons who hate us for our freedom to revel in the Super Bowl and other gladiatorial diversions are implanting explosives in the breasts of Muslim women.

“Agents for Britain’s MI5 intelligence service have discovered that Muslim doctors trained at some of Britain’s leading teaching hospitals have returned to their own countries to fit surgical implants filled with explosives, according to a report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin,” WND reported on February 1. “Women suicide bombers recruited by al-Qaida are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery. The lethal explosives – usually PETN (pentaerythritol Tetrabitrate) – are inserted during the operation inside the plastic shapes. The breast is then sewn up.”

Is this the same MI5 renown for protecting and sheltering accused terrorists? “The alleged spiritual leader of the al-Qaida terrorist network is living with his wife and children in northern England, in a safe house paid for by the intelligence services,” The Guardian reported in July, 2002.

Is it the same MI5 that was up to its neck in Ireland’s Dirty War? If not for British agents, the IRA would have never figured out how to make high-tech explosives responsible for killing dozens of people. MI5 did a bang-up job of infilitrating the terrorist organization.

Britain’s MI6 has also sponsored and supported terrorism. “Haroon Aswat – the man British Police believe was behind the London bombings – was working for MI6, it has been confirmed by leading U.S. and French intelligence asset/agents,” New Criminologist Magazine reported in September, 2005. Haroon Aswat is the primary suspect as the mastermind of the London Bombings 7/7.

“The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida,” the late British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook said. “And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US.”

MI5, MI6, the CIA, German intelligence, and Mossad created what he is now called al-Qaeda “inspired” terrorism. Evidence of this is certainly not difficult to find. In fact, there is an avalanche of information on this but it is simply not reported by the corporate media or the neocon press that has a vested interest in perpetuating the Islamic terror myth. It is not merely Islamophobia that drives this effort but a need to gain political power and impose their demented worldview on the rest of us.

“With the active encouragement of the CIA and Pakistan’s ISI, who wanted to turn the Afghan Jihad into a global war waged by all Muslim states against the Soviet Union, some 35,000 Muslim radicals from 40 Islamic countries joined Afghanistan’s fight between 1982 and 1992. Tens of thousands more came to study in Pakistani madrasahs. Eventually, more than 100,000 foreign Muslim radicals were directly influenced by the Afghan jihad,” noted journalist Ahmed Rashid wrote in the late 1990s.

Rockefeller minion  Zbigniew Brzezinski admitted as much. “According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahideen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, [on] 24 December 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise. Indeed, it was July 3, 1979, that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the President in which I explained to him that in my opinion, this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention,” he told Le Nouvel Observateur in 1998.

The so-called Islamic Brigades created by the CIA and Pakistan’s ISI were later used in Bosnia, Chechnya, Macedonia, and even on the border of China. A lengthy Congressional report by the Senate Republican Party Committee in 1997 revealed as much. The RPC report accused the Clinton administration of having “helped turn Bosnia into a militant Islamic base” leading to the recruitment through the so-called “Militant Islamic Network” of thousands of Mujahideen from the Muslim world.

The U.S. went to Britain’s MI6 to arrange a training program for the KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army). NATO and Germany’s Secret Service, the BND, joined in on the joint effort.Richard Holbrooke, now Obama’s go-man on Afghanistan and Pakistan was involved with theStalinist influenced KLA, well known for its Mafia ties and drug running.

“Bin Laden had visited Albania himself. He was one of several fundamentalist groups that had sent units to fight in Kosovo,” The Sunday Times reported November 29, 1998.

Of course, soon after September 11, 2001, the historical record of U.S., British, Pakistani, and German involvement in terrorism was shuffled off to the memory hole. “Since September 2001, this history of Al Qaeda has largely been erased. The links of successive US administrations to the ‘Islamic terror network’ is rarely mentioned,” writes Michel Chossudovsky. “A major war in the Middle East and Central Asia, supposedly ‘against international terrorism’ was launched in October 2001 by a government which had been harboring international terrorism as part of its foreign policy agenda. In other words, the main justification for waging war on Afghanistan and Iraq has been totally fabricated. The American people have been deliberately and consciously misled by their government.”

Unfortunately, Joseph Farah and his corral of neocons, among dozens of others in the corporate media, have kept this absurdist fantasy alive. They are apparently unfazed by the improbability (not to mention the xenophobia) of their claims.

According to the G2 Bulletin, the “discovery of these methods [breast bombs] was made after the London-educated Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab came close to blowing up an airliner on Christmas Day with explosives he had stuffed inside his underpants.”

On January 27, Undersecretary for Management at the State Department, Patrick F. Kennedy, told Congress that intelligence agencies blocked revocation of Abdulmutallab’s visa and thus allowed him to be delivered to the Amsterdam airport by a shadowy individual and ultimately to Detroit. His lame exploit was videotaped by a passenger on the flight.

Do you see a pattern here? The CIA on numerous occasions has made sure operatives and patsies gained access to the United States. Ali Mohamed, aka “al-Amriki” the American, accused of participation in the 1998 bombings of the United States’ embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania,  worked for the CIA and the Egyptian army’s military intelligence unit. According to the Boston Globe, Ali Mohamed’s “presence in the country [was] the result of an action initiated by Langley,” according to a senior official at the CIA.

Then there is the case of the blind cleric, Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman, who is currently serving a life sentence for his role in the World Trade Center 1993 bombings. Beginning in the 1980s, Rahman received a number of visas into the United States courtesy of the CIA. “The CIA officers claimed they didn’t know the sheikh was one of the most notorious political figures in the Middle East and a militant on the State Department’s list of undesirables,” a New York investigator said during the sensationalized trial of the blind cleric. Abdul-Rahman, despite his inclusion on a terror watch list, was able to enter and leave the country at will (or under CIA orders).

Michael Springmann, the head U.S. consular official in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, complained a few years ago that the CIA ordered him to grant visas to a more than 100 “unqualified applicants,” many of them jihadists working for the CIA asset Osama bin Laden. According to Springmann, the Jeddah consulate was run by the CIA and staffed almost entirely by intelligence agents and operated at least through 9/11. As it turns out, 11 of the 19 supposed 9/11 hijackers — notably Nawaf Alhazmi, Salem Alhazmi, and Khalid Almihdhar — received their U.S. visas at the Jeddah consulate.

Other visa anomalies abound. For instance, the notorious al-Qaeda mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (KSM), traveled regularly to the United States without any problems, even though it was said the CIA’s Renditions Branch had been looking for him since at least 1997 and he was under a federal terrorism indictment, having a $2 million reward on his head . Even though KSM was considered a terrorist and Osama bin Laden confidant, he received a new US visa on July 23, 2001. He applied for the visa using a Saudi passport and an alias (Abdulrahman al-Ghamdi), but the photo he submitted was really of him.

All of this and much more will eventually be shrugged off as “intelligence failures” and “missed opportunities.” It is anything but.

Instead of pointing out the vast and repeated inconsistencies surrounding 9/11 and evidence that al-Qaeda is a CIA operation, Farah and company hype nonsense about evil and immoral Muslims with explosives in their BVDs and surgically implanted in their breasts.

It can only be assumed they are part of the neocon effort to attack Islam and invade small and defenseless countries, or they are sincerely brain-dead and given to irrationality. Since Farah is an intelligent man, as evidenced by his writing and business efforts, the logical conclusion is that he is part of the neocon effort to spread wild and unsubstantiated propaganda designed to demonize Muslims and thus set the stage for more war crimes and crimes against humanity on par with the invasion of Iraq, responsible for slaughtering well over a million Iraqis.

Obama Ordered By Bush Sr. To Back CIA-Mossad Iran War Or “Pay Consequences”

A GRU report prepared for General Shlyakhturov circulating in the Kremlin today states that President Obama was warned this past week by former President George H. W. Bush that should he, Obama, not “immediately back” the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Mossad’s planned “Thunder Strike” war on Iran he would have to “pay the consequences”. 

According to these reports, Bush, now 85, made an “unscheduled” and “unannounced” visit to the White House accompanied by his son, and former Governor of Florida, Jeb to issue this ultimatum to Obama. Important to note about Bush is that aside from his having been the 43^rd President of the United States he was also the former Director of the CIA under President Ford.

Equally important to note about Bush are his links to assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the failed assassination attempt of President Ronald Reagan in 1981 which would have vaulted him into the Presidency where he had planned for the overthrow of the United States and the institution of a military dictatorship long sought by the right-wing factions in America since the demise of their “Business Plot” attempted coup against President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 and masterminded by Bush’s father, and financial backer of Adolf Hitler, Prescott Bush.

To how close Bush came to succeeding in his 1981 coup against President Reagan who was supposed to have died after being shot by John Hinckley who was the mentally ill son of one of Bush’s closest friends we can read from the official US reports:

“Back at the White House, the principal cabinet officers had assembled in the situation room and had been running a crisis management committee during the afternoon. Haig says he was at first adamant that a conspiracy, if discovered, should be ruthlessly exposed: “It was essential that we get the facts and publish them quickly. Rumor must not be allowed to breed on this tragedy. Remembering the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination, I said to Woody Goldberg, ‘No matter what the truth is about this shooting, the American people must know it.” But the truth has never been established.

Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger’s memoir of that afternoon reminds us of two highly relevant facts. The first is that a “NORAD [North American Air Defense Command] exercise with a simulated incoming missle attack had been planned for the next day.” Weinberger agreed with General David Jones, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that this exercise should be cancelled.

Weinberger also recalls that the group in the Situation Room was informed by James Baker that “there had been a FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Administration] exercise scheduled for the next day on presidential succession, with the general title ‘Nine Lives.’ By an immediate consensus, it was agreed that exercise should also be cancelled.”

As Weinberger further recalls, “at almost exactly 7:00, the Vice President came to the Situation Room and very calmly assumed the chair at the head of the table.” According to Weinberger, the first item discussed was the need for someone to sign the Dairy Price Support Bill the next day so as to reassure the public. Bush asked Weinberger for a report on the statusof US forces, which Weinberger furnished.

Another eyewitness of these transactions was Don Regan, whom the Tower Board later made the fall-guy for Bush’s Iran-contra escapades. Regan records that “the Vice President arrived with Ed Meese, who had met him when he landed to fill him in on the details. George asked for a condition report: 1) on the President; 2) on the other wounded; 3) on the assailant; 4) on the international scene. […] After the reports were given and it was determined that there were no international complications and no domestic conspiracy, it was decided that the US government would carry on business as usual. The Vice President would go on TV from the White House to reassure the nation and to demonstrate that he was in charge.”

As Weinberger recounts the same moments: “[Attorney General Bill French Smith] then reported that all FBI reports concurred with the information I had received; that the shooting was a completely isolated incident and that the assassin, John Hinckley, with a previous record in Nashville, seemed to be a ‘Bremmer‘ type, a reference to the attempted assassin of George Wallace.”

Those who were not watching carefully here may have missed the fact that just a few minutes after George Bush had walked into the room, he had presided over the sweeping under the rug of the decisive question regarding Hinckley and his actions: was Hinckley a part of a conspiracy, domestic or international? Not more than five hours after the attempt to kill Reagan, on the basis of the most fragmentary early reports, before Hinckley had been properly questioned, and before a full investigation had been carried out, a group of cabinet officers chaired by George Bush had ruled out a priori any conspiracy. Haig, whose memoirs talk most about the possibility of a conspiracy, does not seem to have objected to this incredible decision.

From that moment on, “no conspiracy” became the official doctrine of the US regime, for the moment a Bush regime, and the most massive efforts were undertaken to stifle any suggestion to the contrary. The iron curtain came down on the truth about Hinckley.”

Also important to note about Bush are his ties to the failed CIA invasion of Cuba in 1961 called the Bay of Pigs against the express orders of President Kennedy, and which led to the CIA having to assassinate Kennedy before he destroyed them. 

Unfortunately for the American people is that where Prescott Bush failed in his attempt to topple Roosevelt, and Bush Sr. failed to topple Reagan, George W. Bush upon becoming the 43^rd President of the United States launched a “modified” military coup against his own country on September 11, 2001 modeled after the “Northwood Operation” plan presented to, but rejected by, President Kennedy, and of which we can read from the official US government documents:

“Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a false-flag plan that originated within the United States government in 1962. The plan called for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other operatives to commit genuine acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro. One part of the Operation Northwoods plan was to “develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington.”

Operation Northwoods is especially notable in that it included proposals for hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate a foreign government.

The plan stated: “The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.”

Several other proposals were included within the Operation Northwoods plan, including real or simulated actions against various U.S military and civilian targets.

Operation Northwoods was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Northwoods was signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer and sent to the Secretary of Defense.”

Even worse for the American people is that in electing Obama to be their “change” President, and hoping for his ending of the financially devastating wars that is crushing the American economy into oblivion, they have gotten the exact opposite, and as evidenced by many reports, including these two:

From the New York Times News Service: “U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday proposed another two years of hefty spending in Iraq and Afghanistan, seeking Congress’ approval for about $160 billion this year and again in fiscal 2011 to pay war costs.”

From the Raw Story News Service: “The men who advised former President Bush to waterboard detainees and deprive them of sleep will be cleared of charges of professional misconduct by a [Obama] Justice Department ethics report.”

To how close a catastrophic warn between Iran and West is we can further read about as reported by Iran’s Press TV News Service:

“A secret meeting between the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Leon Panetta and Israeli officials has reportedly centered on Iran’s nuclear program.  In a secret flying visit to Israel on Thursday, the head of the CIA reportedly discussed Iran’s nuclear issue in a sit-down with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Mossad Chief Meir Dagan. The trip, which was originally scheduled to take place in May, follows a recent wave of developments in the Middle East that strongly imply preparations for a possible new military conflict in the region.”

To Obama’s response the threats leveled at him by Bush unless he supported the CIA-Mossad war against Iran we can also read as reported by the Fox News Service:

“Tensions between the U.S. and Iran rose Monday after the Obama Administration quietly increased the capability of land and sea-based missile defenses in several Gulf nations to protect American allies against a potential Iranian strike.”

Iran was quick to respond to these latest threats by the US and as we can read as reported by their Press TV News Service:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the nation will deliver a harsh blow to the “global arrogance” on this year’s anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. “The Islamic Revolution opened a window to liberty for the human race, which was trapped in the dead ends of materialism,” Ahmadinejad said during a cabinet meeting on Sunday.

“If the Islamic Revolution had not occurred, liberalism and Marxism would have crushed all human dignity in their power-seeking and money-grubbing claws. Nothing would have remained of human and spiritual principles,” he added.”

More ominously in these reports are their stating that China “will not stand idly by” and allow the CIA-Mossad attack on Iran succeed as without Iranian oil their entire economy could collapse.

The United States in knowing of China’s stance have launched its largest military exercise in the Pacific in cooperation with Thailand, Japan, Indonesia and Singapore with South Korea also joining in to counter any moves by the Chinese. This massive military exercises called “Cobra Gold” exercise is to run until February 11^th, and which interestingly is the same date Ahmadinejad has said the Iranian Nation will deliver a harsh blow to “global arrogance”.

As the right-wing factions in the United States accelerate their moves towards total war and the complete militarization of America new reports from there are now stating that Obama is preparing to give the US Military total control over the Internet, and which shockingly echo’s the call made by the head of the main UN communications and technology agency for a “driver’s license” for all the World’s Internet users.

To the final outcome of all of these events is not in our knowing, other than to note that the American people continue to slumber in ignorance while being pacified by their propaganda media so as to keep them unaware and uninformed of not only what is happening now, but even to their own history they are not allowed to know.

Most important for them to understand, however, is that while they continue their long sleep, there are many like us, all around the World, continually shouting at them to awaken before all is lost.  To how successful this effort will be depends upon them awakening to the grand possibilities that lie before them should they seek peace instead of war.

But, and if history be our guide, any of our World’s people who have so blatantly ignored their own past and continue to give up their liberty and rights so their corporate, banking and political elite classes can live like kings while the rest of their citizens are plunged into poverty deserve what they get, and shame be upon them for what they have so readily thrown away.

And from history we can read as written by the former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who in his memoirs quoted President Kennedy’s brother, and US Attorney General, Robert Kennedy as saying:

“We are under pressure from our military to use force against Cuba. If the situation continues much longer, the President [Kennedy] is not sure that the military will not overthrow him and seize power.”

As Kennedy was then, so is Obama today…will these Americans ever learn?

Red Alert: Intelligence Chiefs “Certain” Their Bosses Will Stage Terror Attack Soon

Dissatisfied with the botched efforts of underwear bomber patsy Umar Abdul Muttalab, military-industrial complex promises to try again.

Paul Joseph WatsonPrison Planet.com
Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Using information gleaned from the blatantly set-up underwear bomber patsy Umar Abdul Muttalab, intelligence chiefs have assured us that their bosses will stage another terror attack in the U.S. within the next three to six months.

“According to the nation’s intelligence chiefs, a terror attack in the United States will likely be launched within the next six months, reports WLS.

“ABC News has learned some of the intelligence has come from the accused Christmas Day bomber,” states the report.

Despite the fact that the official story behind the Christmas Day bombing has been discredited beyond all recognition, the establishment is still constantly invoking it as yet another reason for Americans to obediently line up for naked body scans in fear of whatever boogeyman is being waved in front of their faces this week.

Since federal and state authorities apparently now consider libertarians, Ron Paul supporters, gun owners and basically anyone with two brain cells left to rub together as potential domestic terrorists, whatever tricks they do decide to pull over the next six months will undoubtedly be used to tighten the screws against American dissidents that they have consistently characterized as extremist threats.

Authorities last week quietly reversed the official story behind the Christmas Day underwear bomber attack and acknowledged that an accomplice was involved, despite weeks of denial and derision of eyewitness Kurt Haskell’s description of a sharp-dressed man who helped Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab board Flight 253 in Amsterdam.

Detroit lawyer Kurt Haskell maintained from the beginning that he saw a well-dressed Indian man aid the accused bomber to board the plane despite the fact that he had no passport and was on a terror watch list.

“While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, ‘He’s from Sudan and we do this all the time,’” reported the Michigan Live news website.

FBI agents interviewed Haskell and he told them about the sharp-dressed man but officials refused to admit that a wider conspiracy was at hand, stoically maintaining the official story thatAbdulmutallab had acted alone. Authorities claimed that videotapes did not show a second man accompanying Abdulmutallab and yet they refused to release any footage of the alleged bomber.

There seems little doubt that Abdulmutallab had at least one accomplice if not more. Authorities have remained silent on other eyewitness reports which described a man intently filming the alleged terrorist throughout the whole flight, a connection that strongly suggests the attempted bomber was involved in some kind of drill and that his strings were being pulled by people in more senior positions.

The ludicrous spectacle of long-deceased boogeyman Osama bin Laden apparently claiming responsibility for the attempted attack last weekend only confirmed that a fairytale was being contrived which was totally at odds with what eyewitnesses described.

The glaringly obvious truth that Mutallab was at best a patsy and at worst an informant who was duped into believing he was involved in a drill renders fraudulent any supposed information attributed to him, specifically the notion that America faces the threat of another terrorist attack from anyone other than the only entity that always benefits from such attacks – the military-industrial complex itself.

Hundreds of terror suspects (read: patsies and mental deficients) have been convicted in civilian federal courts, including convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid who attended the Finsbury Park Mosque in North London. The Finsbury imam at the time was Abu Hamza al-Masri who began working with British Security Services in 1997. A large number of the supposed terrorists convicted in American courts were entrapped by the FBI in classic COINTELPRO fashion and did not have links to the CIA-created al-Qaeda. The entrapped were often fuzzy on al-Qaeda or what it represents.

In 2009, supposed terrorists in New York were so reluctant to participate in an FBI arranged undercover operation they had to be enticed with piles of cash, gifts, and bags of marijuana.

In the media lauded Miami terror case in 2007, the supposed ringleader Narseal “Prince Marina” Batiste “had heard of Al-Qaeda, but wasn’t sure what it stood for. The FBI instigators made Batiste swear loyalty to al-Qaida; then had him call on his local buddies to form an ‘Islamic army’ in Miami. None had military training. Some could barely read. But Batiste assured the group in the midst of its collective marijuana buzz of greatness ahead,” writes Saul Landau.

During the Senate “terror assessment hearing,” National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair also warned of the growing cyber threat, saying computer-related attacks have become “dynamic and malicious.”

Blair warned the United States faces a “cyber Pearl Harbor” that will have devastating consequences for America’s technological infrastructure. Blair said an increasingly sophisticated group of enemies has “severely threatened” the country’s information systems and he said the recent cyber attacks against Google should be treated as a “wake up call,” reports Channel 4 News.

The Google attacks, according to an American internet security firm, came from China or its proxies, not al-Qaeda.

The government also expects us to believe the sophisticated and coordinated attack occurring on September 11, 2001, was also the work of medieval terrorists located in remote caves. It was never explained how Osama bin Laden made NORAD stand down.

Likewise, Blair does not tell us how al-Qaeda will take down the most advanced and complex computer networks in the world, presumably from the backwaters of Pakistan’s tribal region.

Authorities Quietly Reverse Underwear Bomber Official Story

Eyewitness Kurt Haskell’s description of accomplice vindicated after weeks of denial

Paul Joseph WatsonPrison Planet.com
Thursday, January 28, 2010

Authorities have quietly reversed the official story behind the Christmas Day underwear bomber attack and acknowledged that an accomplice was involved, despite weeks of denial and derision of eyewitness Kurt Haskell’s description of a sharp-dressed man who helped Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab board Flight 253 in Amsterdam.

Buried in the last two paragraphs of a story about alleged female suicide bombers coming from Yemen, an ABC News report contains the following bombshell.

“Federal agents also tell ABCNews.com they are attempting to identify a man who passengers said helped Abdulmutallab change planes for Detroit when he landed in Amsterdam from Lagos, Nigeria.”

“Authorities had initially discounted the passenger accounts, but the agents say there is a growing belief the man have played a role to make sure Abdulmutallab “did not get cold feet.”

Detroit lawyer Kurt Haskell maintained from the beginning that he saw a well-dressed Indian man aid the accused bomber to board the plane despite the fact that he had no passport and was on a terror watch list.

“While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, ‘He’s from Sudan and we do this all the time,’” reported the Michigan Live news website.

FBI agents interviewed Haskell and he told them about the sharp-dressed man but officials refused to admit that a wider conspiracy was at hand, stoically maintaining the official story thatAbdulmutallab had acted alone. Authorities claimed that videotapes did not show a second man accompanying Abdulmutallab and yet they refused to release any footage of the alleged bomber.

“Why is this not total breaking news?” asks Haskell’s wife on their family blog. “I think we now know WHY the video is not being released. Because IT SHOWS WHAT KURT SAID!!!!!! I mean, where is his apology? Where? They come out in the media, basically calling Kurt a liar, then they take it back, but it is in the bottom of another nonrelated article. Ridiculous. And still, to date, no authorities contacting KURT to ask him to look at the freaking video and help identify the guy. It’s so insane to me. We have an eyewitness to this, and they just don’t care.”

 There seems little doubt that Abdulmutallab had at least one accomplice if not more. Authorities have remained silent on other eyewitness reports which described a man intently filming the alleged terrorist throughout the whole flight, a connection that strongly suggests the attempted bomber was involved in some kind of drill and that his strings were being pulled by people in more senior positions.

In addition, Flight 253 passengers reported seeing a third man connected to the incident being handcuffed by FBI agents after sniffer dogs found something suspect in his luggage. After initially denying any knowledge of this individual, authorities were forced to acknowledge his existence but claimed he had nothing to do with the attempted attack, completely contradicting multiple eyewitness accounts that state passengers were moved from a waiting area after it was made clear to them that a bomb had been found.

The fact that Abdulmutallab’s accomplices were all described as being Indian in appearance would contradict the story that has been spun around the issue in an effort to sell the public on naked body scanners in airports as well as deeper U.S. military involvement in Yemen.

The ludicrous spectacle of long-deceased boogeyman Osama bin Laden apparently claiming responsibility for the attempted attack this past weekend only confirmed that a fairytale was being contrived which was totally at odds with what eyewitnesses described.

Now that Haskell’s eyewitness account has been vindicated, it remains to be seen whether evidence of a wider conspiracy will be investigated or buried. There seems little doubt that the latter will be the case if Abdulmutallab’s accomplices don’t conveniently lead back to the Al-Qaeda patsies the establishment has already framed for the attack.

Obama Tells Putin US Will Surrender To Afghan Taliban

Shocking reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that President Obama placed an “urgent” call to Prime Minister Putin on Tuesday wherein he “pleaded” for Russia to withdrawal its objections to removing Afghanistan’s top Taliban leadership from the United Nations list of the World’s most wanted terrorists that the United States, under former President Bush, had ordered to be put on this list in the first place after their, the Americans, being attacked on September 11, 2001.

When asked by Putin why the United States was seeking such a dramatic reversal in their war policy, these reports continue, Obama replied that in order to stave off a complete American military defeat, and to defend his Presidency against the Central Intelligence Agencies (CIA) al Qaida forces, he was left with “no choice” but to seek an immediate peace deal with the Taliban.

Upon his conferring with the Russian General Staff, and President Medvedev, about Obama’s “urgent plea” Putin, these reports say, ordered Russia’s UN Ambassador to withdrawal the Motherland’s objections to the Taliban being placed on the terrorism list, and as we can also read as confirmed by the Washington Post News Service:

“A U.N. Security Council committee announced Tuesday that it has lifted sanctions against five former Taliban officials, bolstering Afghan and U.N. efforts to pursue peace talks with the group, Security Council diplomats said. The decision came after Russia agreed to stop blocking a U.S.-backed proposal to delist the men.

The action marks a dramatic shift by Russia, which for years had opposed requests by the U.S. and European governments to delist former Taliban members who say they back the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. No Taliban member had been delisted since the Security Council first imposed sanctions on the group more than 10 years ago.”

Putin further ordered Russia’s NATO envoy, Dmitry Rogozin, to offer assistance to the West to help rebuild Afghanistan, provided, of course, that the West provides the funds, and as we can also read as confirmed by China’s Xinhua Net News Service:

“Russia is ready to help reconstruct Afghanistan provided that the West offers the money, Russian business daily Kommersant reported on Wednesday, citing the country’s NATO envoy. Kommersant quoted Dmitry Rogozin as saying that Russia could restore more than 140 industrial and infrastructure facilities built by Soviet specialists in Afghanistan.”

To how dire the situation in Afghanistan has become for the Americans can been seen the words of US Gen Stanley McChrystal who told the UK‘s Financial Times newspaper this past week that there had been “enough fighting”. General McChrystal further stated that a political solution in all conflicts was “inevitable”.

After eight years of war and the loss of thousands of lives, Robert Gates, the US Secretary of Defense further stated: “The Taliban … are part of the political fabric of Afghanistan at this point.”

To the “truer” cause though of Obama’s preparing to surrender his Military Forces in Afghanistan to the Taliban, these reports say, is the staggering cost of America’s wars since 2001, which are now reported to be over $1 Trillion for an economy already staggering under a debt load many financial analysts believe will cause the United States to implode this year.

Obama is not alone either in his quest for a quick ending to his Nations war in Afghanistan, and as we can read as reported by the United States Fox News Service:

“After giving up on winning victory in Afghanistan by military means, the international community is resorting to the centuries-old method of buying its way out. In London this week, Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, will launch a British and American-backed plan for “reintegration” of the Taliban and call for international funding to offer jobs and bribes to bring insurgents in from the cold.”

Not being understood by the American people about their war in Afghanistan against the Taliban is that it was entirely avoidable as all they, the Taliban, had requested of the United States after the attacks of September 11, 2001 was proof that they were indeed carried out by the alleged terrorist Osama bin Laden, an offer which President Bush replied by saying that the United States demands were “non-negotiable”.

Equally important to note about America’s war in Afghanistan to capture, or kill, Osama bin Laden is that neither Obama or General McChrystal have ever mentioned him in their speeches, or reports, for justifying their war. Osama bin Laden has not only never been charged for the 9/11 attacks even though he does remain on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List.

To the likelihood of the Taliban accepting the United States and NATO’s “defacto surrender”, these reports conclude, “there isn’t a single chance in hell”.
