Detroit and Domestic Tyranny

partisan politics should be put aside when something is as important to national security as the threat of terrorism. It continues to haunt us....

Intelligence sources: Plane incident a false flag involving trinity of CIA, Mossad, and RAW

The Christmas Day attempt by the son of a prominent Nigerian banker and business tycoon connected closely to top Nigerian leaders to detonate a chemical improvised explosive device aboard Delta Airlines flight 253 from Amsterdam Schiphol to Detroit was a false flag operation carried out by the intelligence tripartite grouping of the CIA, Mossad, and India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), according to WMR’s Asian intelligence sources who closely monitor the activities of the three agencies in India and Southeast Asia....

"Given Everything That's Happened, Shouldn't We At Least ASK?

Given that Cheney is apparently at least partly responsible for creating the terror problem in Yemen ...

And that one of the most highly decorated soldiers of all time says that "war is a racket" ...

Given that FBI agents and CIA intelligence officials, constitutional law expert professor Jonathan Turley, Time Magazine, Keith Olbermann and the Washington Post have all said that U.S. government officials "were trying to create an atmosphere of fear in which the American people would give them more power" ...

And that "truth is the first casualty of war" ...

And that fear of terrorism makes people stupid ...

Isn't it worth at least ASKING whether we can rule out false flag terrorism?

False WHAT?

"False flag terrorism" is defined as a government attacking its own people, then blaming others in order to justify going to war against the people it blames. Or as Wikipedia defines it:

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy's strategy of tension.
The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship in its own navy. Because the enemy's flag, instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, was hung, it was called a "false flag" attack.

There are many examples of false flag attacks through history. For example, it is widely known that the Nazis, in Operation Himmler, faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. And it has now been persuasively argued — as shown, for example, in this History Channel video — that Nazis set fire to their own government building and blamed that fire on others (if you have trouble playing the clip, it is because the website hosting the clip requires you to download the clip before playing it). The fire was the event which justified Hitler's seizure of power and suspension of liberties.


And the Russian KGB apparently conducted a wave of bombings in Russia in order to justify war against Chechnya and put Vladimir Putin into power (see also this short essay and this report).

And the Turkish government has been caught bombing its own and blaming it on a rebel group in order to justify a crackdown on that group.


Indeed, even Muslim governments appear to play this game. For example, the well-respected former Indonesian president said that the government had a role in the Bali bombings.

This sounds nuts, right? You've never heard of this "false flag terrorism", where a government attacks its own people then blames others in order to justify its goals, right? And you are cynical of the statements discussed above?


Please take a look at these historical quotes:


"This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector." - Plato

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - U.S. President James Madison

"Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death". - Adolph Hitler

"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.
"The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened". - Josef Stalin

But NOT the U.S.


It is logical to assume that, even if other countries have carried out false flag operations (especially horrible regimes such as, say, the Nazis or Stalin), the U.S. has never done so.

Well, as documented by the New York Times, Iranians working for the C.I.A. in the 1950's posed as Communists and staged bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected president (see also this essay).

And, as confirmed by a former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence, NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: "You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security."

Moreover, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960's, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. If you view no other links in this article, please read the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.

But Al-Qaeda is Different

You might say "But Al-Qaeda is different -- powerful, organized, and out to get us", right? Maybe, but take a look at this Los Angeles Times Article, reviewing a BBC documentary entitled "The Power of Nightmares", which shows that the threat from Al Qaeda has been vastly overblown (and see this article on who is behind the hype). And a former National Security Adviser told the Senate that the war on terror is "a mythical historical narrative".

And did you know that the FBI had penetrated the cell which carried out the 1993 world trade center bombing, but had -- at the last minute -- canceled the plan to have its FBI infiltrator substitute fake powder for real explosives, against the infiltrator's strong wishes (summary version is free; full version is pay-per-view)? See also this TV news report.

And have you heard that the anthrax attacks -- which were sent along with notes purportedly written by Islamic terrorists -- used a weaponized anthrax strain from the top U.S. bioweapons facility, the Fort Detrick military base? Indeed, top bioweapons experts have stated that the anthrax attack may have been a CIA test "gone wrong"; and see this article by a former NSA and naval intelligence officer; and this statement by a distinguished law professor and bioterror expert (and this one). It is also interesting that the only congress people mailed anthrax-containing letters were key democrats, and that the attacks occurred one week before passage of the freedom-curtailing Patriot Act, which seems to have scared them and the rest of congress into passing that act without even reading it. And it might be coincidence, but White House staff began taking the anti-anthrax medicine before the Anthrax attacks occurred.

Even the former director of the National Security Agency said "By any measure the US has long used terrorism. In ‘78-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism - in every version they produced, the lawyers said the US would be in violation"(the audio is here)


Why Does This Matter?

A former National Security Adviser told the Senate that a terrorist act might be carried out in the U.S. and falsely blamed on Iran to justify war against that nation.

A retired 27-year CIA analyst who prepared and presented Presidential Daily Briefs and served as a high-level analyst for several presidents stated that if there was another major attack in the U.S., it would lead to martial law. He went on to say:
"We have to be careful, if somebody does this kind of provocation, big violent explosions of some kind, we have to not take the word of the masters there in Washington that this was some terrorist event because it could well be a provocation allowing them, or seemingly to allow them to get what they want."
The former CIA analyst would not put it past the government to "play fast and loose" with terror alerts and warnings and even events themselves in order to rally people behind the flag.

Daniel Ellsberg, the famous Pentagon Papers whistleblower, said "if there is another terror attack, "I believe the president will get what he wants", which will include a dictatorship.

Scott Ritter, the former UN Weapons Inspector (an American) - who stated before the Iraq war started that there were no weapons of mass destruction - is now saying that he would not rule out staged government terror by the U.S. government.

And a member of the British Parliament stated that "there is a very real danger" that the American government will stage a false flag terror attack in order to justify war against Iran and to gain complete control domestically.

Given the swarm of terrorism-related scares happening now, shouldn't we at least ask whether history is repeating?

You all scared now, American?

"The reason they came up with an underwear bomber is the same reason they came up with a shoe bomber. First they wanted to get into your shoes and then they wanted to get into your underwear. After that they want to get into your body. But job one, day one, they want to get into your head.... Actually blowing up airplanes, unless there is a real need (like provocation to attack Iran, or anyone) is counter-productive. They don’t want you to stop flying in airplanes. They just want you to accept the heavy handed behavior of the TSA thugs....

"Some Democrats want Yemeni transfers halted" by Associated Press | January 4, 2010

WASHINGTON - Some Democratic lawmakers who support closing Guantanamo Bay say the United States should reconsider whether to repatriate suspected terrorists from Yemen, given the Al Qaeda activity in the poor Arab nation.

President Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, said yesterday that the transfers will continue if the administration deems them warranted. Six Yemenis returned last month were released after the government there determined they were not a threat, officials in Yemen said. Obama has said an Al Qaeda group operating in Yemen apparently was behind the plot to bring down a US-bound airliner on Christmas Day. The United States and Britain closed their embassies in Yemen yesterday in response to threats from Al Qaeda.

Although Republicans have criticized the transfers to Yemen, some Democrats, including Dianne Feinstein of California, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, have also urged a halt.

FLASHBACK:

"Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said there should have been swift action after a prominent Nigerian alleged that his son was becoming radicalized. "It seems to me that when this happens, the person should go automatically on the no-fly list," she said. "I'd rather, in the interest of protecting people, overreact rather than underreact."

--more--"

Yeah, LET ME GIVE the TSA a call about a certain Dianne Feinstein, 'kay?

See how SHE LIKES a FALSE POSITIVE!!

Representative Jane Harman, Democrat of California, a member of the Homeland Security Committee, said yesterday that officials should review the transfers. She does support plans to close the prison and open one in Illinois for terrorism suspects. “I think it is a bad time to send the 90 or so Yemenis back to Yemen,’’ Harman said on ABC’s “This Week.’’

Yeah, but it's okay to send Zionist spies back to Israel.

Senator Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who has opposed closing Guantanamo, said transferring any of the Yemeni detainees back home would be irresponsible. “We know from past experience that some of them will be back in the fight against us,’’ he said on the ABC program. US officials believe two Saudis released from Guantanamo, one in 2006 and the other in 2007, may have played significant roles in Al Qaeda activities in Yemen....

See WHO is calling the SHOTS in our political system, America?

Yemen has freed the six Yemenis who were released from Guantanamo Bay and returned to the country on Dec. 20. The last two were freed Saturday night. Security officials initially held the six for questioning and investigation since their handover by the United States, but they found no evidence of involvement in terrorism or other crimes.

And yet they were HELD and TORTURED in that hellhole for YEARS!!!!

Did they even get an APOLOGY?

"Dozens more names added to US terrorism watch list; Review prompted by attack on jet bound for Detroit" by Eileen Sullivan, Associated Press | January 5, 2010

Again, the FALSE FLAG JUSTIFIES MORE TYRANNY!!


WASHINGTON - The names of dozens of more people have been added to the government’s terrorist watch list and no-fly list after a failed terrorist attack on Christmas prompted US officials to closely scrutinize a large database of suspected terrorists, an intelligence official said yesterday....

Yeah, they can't even find the ones out there now; let's add more s*** into the stew.


The review of the National Counterterrorism Center’s massive Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDE, database was prompted by the attempt to bring down a Detroit-bound jetliner. That incident also spurred enhanced security screening that took effect yesterday for people traveling to the United States from or through Yemen, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and 11 other countries.

The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the watch lists and requested anonymity, but said that after the Dec. 25 incident, counterterrorism officials reviewed information in TIDE on people from countries where terrorists have operated.

The Transportation Security Administration outlined the new security rules in a directive sent to airlines Sunday, but initial reports from several European countries indicated that they were still scrambling to digest and implement the new rules....

Yeah, they ain't doing them!

Oh, so they know it is a crock of s***, too.


TSA also said Sunday that all passengers on US-bound international flights will be subject to random screening and airports were directed to increase “threat-based’’ screening of passengers acting in a suspicious manner. The new security measures come in response to the failed Christmas Day attempt to bomb a jetliner as it approached Detroit after a flight from Amsterdam....

Have they not EMPHASIZED THAT ENOUGH while IGNORING the ISRAELI SECURITY at the airport, readers? This is getting old, folks.


The incident has prompted major reviews of the government’s intelligence sharing....

David Castelveter, spokesman for the Air Transport Association, which represents major US air carriers, said he would not discuss any new TSA measures because doing so might compromise security....

Well, if you guys are going to continue to go along with this farce, f*** you!

I hope your industry dies just like the newspapers.

"Man exited airport after breach; TSA confirms video of Newark checkpoint" by Kim Gamel, Associated Press | January 5, 2010

NEWARK - A man who caused a security breach at Newark Liberty International Airport, causing major delays and grounding flights for six hours, left about 20 minutes after he walked the wrong way through a security checkpoint, the Transportation Security Administration said yesterday.

What?


Someone picking up a passenger told an officer guarding the exit that he thought he saw a man enter through the doors Sunday, TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis said. TSA reviewed surveillance video before sweeping the airport, she said. The video confirmed that the man had entered through the exit, and officials made passengers leave the terminal and be rescreened.

Oh, I WOULD HAVE BEEN FURIOUS!!!!

The video also showed the man leaving the terminal through another exit about 20 minutes later, Davis said, although it was unclear when authorities learned the man had left. Authorities found nothing suspicious when they searched the terminal after evacuating passengers. They are still trying to determine the man’s identity....

Translation: This was ALL an EXERCISE to see how the PAVLOVIAN PUBLIC would react!

"Obama acknowledges more ‘red flags’ in flight plot; Affirms support for staff, vows to close gaps" by Ben Feller, Associated Press | January 6, 2010

WASHINGTON - A grim-faced President Obama declared yesterday there was a deep failure of national intelligence in the botched Christmas Day airliner terror attack over Detroit, telling the nation the government had enough information to thwart potential disaster but could not “connect those dots.’’

PFFFT!

Then what was the EIGHT YEARS and BILLIONS of DOLLARS for?

Obama said there had been even more “red flags’’ than had already been acknowledged.... “This was a screw-up that could have been disastrous. We dodged a bullet but just barely,’’ he told his Cabinet and national security team during the 90-minute private session, the White House said. “It was averted by brave individuals, not because the system worked....’’

I'm tired of hearing him go along with the program. I never watch him on TV.

Can't stand the man anymore than I could George Bush.

But Obama did not announce any firings or job reassignments, and a White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said the president still has full confidence in his three top national security officials: Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, CIA Director Leon Panetta, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The president’s own analysis is centered around identifying security gaps and filling them, and in the course of that, he will determine whether anyone will lose his or her job, said one senior administration official familiar with Obama’s thinking.

Just like 9/11! No one is fired and everyone did a great job!

Obama also said he was suspending the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to Yemen....

Obama announced no new steps to improve the intelligence or security systems. But he promised they would be coming, signaling more changes for airport travelers....

Please, anyone thinking of flying to the U.S. or thinking of flying in the U.S., please DON'T!! DON'T COME HERE!!!

Make the airlines fly EMPTY PLANES until they BLOW the WHISTLE on this TYRANNY of the FALSE FLAG!!!

Cuba summoned the top US diplomat on the island yesterday to protest extra screening for Cuban citizens flying into the United States, calling the new step “this hostile action.’’

Yeah, since when has Cuba ever sent terrorists to the U.S.?!!

If anything, they have UNCOVERED THEM!

The later White House statement said the leaders of each agency at the meeting took responsibility for failures at their respective organizations and there was no attempt at finger-pointing, which Obama said he would not tolerate....
