Netanyahu on 9/11: World still in midst of war against terror
Democracies around the world should unite to continue fighting radical Islamists, Israeli PM tells cabinet.
A decade after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, the war against terrorism is not over, but at its height, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday.
Democracies around the world should unite to continue fighting radical Islamists, he told his cabinet at the weekly meeting in Jerusalem.
"Radical Islam is threatening moderate Arab and Muslim regimes," he said.
"Terrorism is their [radical Islamists''] tool," he said. "We are in a decade of terrorism."
"The threat is against all of us, against the regimes and the stability in the Middle East, against the security of Israel, against the safety of Europe and the United States, and, in my opinion, also against the safety and stability of Russia and many other states," he said.
The struggle, Netanyahu said, "is not over. We are still in its midst."
He warned that, if radical Islamists gained control of weapons of mass destruction, the threat would become "immeasurably greater."
An official 9/11 memorial service with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro, families of victims and senior Israeli officials was scheduled to take place at a Jerusalem park early Sunday afternoon, next to a monument built two years ago and donated by the JNF (Jewish Nature Fund)-USA.
A U.S. embassy statement said it is the largest 9/11 monument in the world, outside Ground Zero, the former site of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the attack.

Malaysia premier: 9/11 not work of Arab Muslims
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AFP) -- The long-serving former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad says Arab Muslims are incapable of carrying out the 9/11 attacks on the United States that killed nearly 3,000 people.
The aging firebrand, who was in power in Malaysia at the time of the attacks and stepped down in 2003 after 22 years in power, slammed former US president George W. Bush ahead of the 10-year anniversary Sunday of 9/11.
Washington blames the attacks on Al-Qaeda.
"Bush lied about Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction... If they can lie so as to kill Iraqis, Afghans and American soldiers, it is not unthinkable for Bush & Co. to lie about who was responsible for 9/11," the 86-year-old wrote in his blog on Friday.
Listing out reasons in line with a conspiracy theory that the US government was behind the attacks, he wrote the Twin Towers in New York "came down nicely upon themselves".
"I believe Arab Muslims are angry enough to sacrifice their lives and become suicide bombers. But they or their handlers do not strike me as capable of planning and strategising such attacks so as to maximise the damage to the enemy," he said.
Mahathir, a fierce critic of the West, is known for his anti-Jewish and anti-American statements in Muslim-majority Malaysia.
Last year, he said if the US could make the 3D science fiction film Avatar, "they can make anything", adding there was strong evidence that the 9/11 attacks were staged.
He has also condemned Bush and then-British prime minister Tony Blair as "child killers" and "war criminals", saying they should be put on trial for the military invasion of Iraq.

Group: China uses 9/11 to crack down on Xinjiang
BEIJING (AFP) -- Over the past decade China has used the global "war on terror" to jail thousands of ethnic Muslim Uighurs in the far-western and restive Xinjiang region, according to a minority rights group.
Beijing has attributed any social unrest in Xinjiang to the forces of "terrorism, separatism and religious extremism" and has jailed and even executed alleged perpetrators, the Germany-based World Uyghur Congress said.
"The Chinese authorities found in 9/11 the perfect excuse to crack down on all forms of peaceful political, social and cultural Uighur dissent," the exiled head of the Congress, Rebiya Kadeer, said in a statement.
"The past decade has proved that the Chinese government is misusing the fight against terrorism to curb Uighur dissent and silence political opponents.
"While the number of protests against government policies is increasing day by day in the whole country, only Uighur protests are labeled as 'terrorism'."
Numerous outbreaks of ethnic violence have erupted in Xinjiang in recent years as the Uighur minority bristles under what it regards as cultural and religious oppression and an unwanted immigration of ethnic Han Chinese.
Tensions boiled over in July, when two knife attacks as well as clashes between Uighurs and police left more than 40 people in the resource-rich and strategic region dead.
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Russia are among the countries the area borders.
According to the Congress, China was mainly using "state security" laws, including subversion and separatism, to convict Uighurs suspected of fomenting unrest.
According to official government statistics, judicial departments heard over 375 cases of endangering state security in Xinjiang in 2010, with an average of three people tried in each case, the group said.
"It is very likely that XUAR [Xinjiang] courts tried more than 1,000 defendants for endangering state security in 2010, and it is safe to conclude that the overwhelming majority were convicted," the statement said.
Up to 7,000 Uighurs may have been jailed for violations of state security laws since 2001, when China joined the global "war on terror" following the 9/11 attacks on the US, the group said, citing press reports and independent rights groups.
China has also successfully repatriated from neighboring countries at least 180 Uighurs since 2001, jailing and even executing those returnees subsequently convicted of state security violations, it said.

Jittery US unites in grief 10 years after 9/11
NEW YORK (AFP) -- A jittery, embattled United States comes together in grief on Sunday's 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks which killed almost 3,000 people and plunged it into an era of war and bitter internal division.
President Barack Obama and his predecessor George W. Bush will attend ceremonies at the site of the destroyed Twin Towers in New York, with Obama also flying to 9/11's other crash sites in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon.
With federal officials warning of a new terrorism scare, security in major cities was extraordinarily tight, and Obama has called for a "heightened state of vigilance and preparedness."
Heavily armed police squads and bomb sniffing dogs deployed across New York, while motorists in some neighborhoods were forced to go through checkpoints.
As every year since the horrific events of September 11, 2001, remembrance ceremonies will center on Ground Zero, where 2,753 of the day's 2,977 victims died in the inferno of the collapsing skyscrapers.
But unlike previous years, the ritual of reading the names of the dead will take place against a backdrop of the gleaming, three-quarter built 1 World Trade Center tower, rather than a chaotic-looking construction site.
Sunday will also see the dedication of a simple, but moving monument, consisting of massive fountains sunk into the footprints of the former towers, with the names of the dead written in bronze around the edges.
Even as US intelligence agencies chased down what officials said was a credible but unconfirmed threat of an Al-Qaeda attack around 9/11, Obama assured terrorism would never win.
"We will protect the country we love and pass it safer, stronger and more prosperous to the next generation," he added. "Today, America is strong and Al-Qaeda is on the path to defeat."
Obama and Bush will attend the ceremony together for the first time, along with victims' family members, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his predecessor Rudolph Giuliani -- who led the city 10 years ago.
The 9/11 remembrances unite Americans like almost no other event. According to a poll last week, 97 percent of people remember where they were when they heard the news, on a par with John F. Kennedy's assassination.
The country was also thrilled -- with young people spilling onto the streets in Washington and New York -- at the news in May that US Navy SEALS had flown into Pakistan and shot dead al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.
Yet while Al-Qaeda is severely weakened and New York is recovering, the anniversary still finds a nation struggling to overcome the longer-term impacts of the last decade.
In Afghanistan where US forces will also hold ceremonies on Sunday at the Bagram air base with a similar event at the US embassy in Kabul, troops are stuck in a seemingly unwinnable war against a Taliban guerrilla movement few Americans understand.
Though US troops have a reduced presence in Iraq, their occupation of the country, years of vicious inter-Iraqi violence, and a host of torture scandals, have bled the US economy and sullied Washington's image abroad.
And as unemployment and next year's presidential election become the focus for most Americans, those already distant wars can seem a world away.
Leading politicians may make patriotism part of every stump speech, but the loss of more than 6,200 US soldiers in wars launched by Bush, the hundreds of slain allied troops, and the deaths of tens of thousands of Afghan, Pakistani and Iraqi civilians, rarely get a mention.
In this time of rancor, Sunday is at least a chance for brief reflection, and many ceremonies and services were being held around the world from New Zealand to Russia and Paris to honor those killed on 9/11.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Sunday that Al-Qaeda had been weakened since the attacks.
"Al-Qaeda is now weaker than at any time in the decade since 9/11 -- and political progress through peaceful protest in the Middle East and North Africa has shown it to be increasingly irrelevant to the future."
But the Taliban hit back Saturday saying the post-9/11 invasion of Afghanistan by the United States and its allies "will remain a permanent stigma on the face of Western democracy."
In addition to the carefully stage-managed Ground Zero ceremony, Obama was to pay respects at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where one of the four hijacked planes fell into a field, apparently after passengers overpowered the assailants.
On Saturday a national memorial to the 40 passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93 who died in the Pennsylvania crash was inaugurated in a solemn dedication.
Bush praised the heroism of the passengers who battled to overcome the hijackers, saying: "One of the lessons of 9/11 is that evil is real -- and so is courage."

Was Iran behind 9/11?
US lawsuit charges that Iran, Hezbollah involved in facilitation of September 11 attacks. Ynetnews presents special report about dramatic revelations that could change everything we knew about 9/11.
In July of 2004, members of the National Commission established to look into the September 11 attacks were facing immense pressure. The target date for submitting the report the whole of America was waiting for had passed, and commission members were given a 60-day extension that was also about to expire. However, eight days before the final submission date, some commission members received word of new information; a real intelligence time bomb.
Commission members didn’t know what to do. On one hand, a whole new lead emerged; yet on the other hand, nobody could process this huge amount of information within days. At the end of the day, the commission chose a solution that turned out to be the worst of all: It crammed some of the information into three pages (pp. 240-242 in the report) written hectically, ignored most of the information, and in fact left the big question open.
As it turned out, the prominent building housing the National Security Agency’s headquarters in Fort Meade includes a particularly interesting room. In this room, the NSA accumulated tens of thousands of conversation records pertaining to one subject: The ties between Iran’s intelligence service and al-Qaeda from the 1990s to the eve of the 9/11 attacks. The piles of information included 75 intelligence documents characterized as critical to understanding the relationship between Tehran and al-Qaeda.
At the end of the day, the commission noted in its report that the issue deserves further scrutiny by the US Administration. However, such examination was not undertaken and may have never materialized. Indeed, this entire affair may have remained buried in the three abovementioned pages, had it not been for one brave woman: Ellen Saracini.
Saracini is not an intelligence analyst or counter-terrorism expert. She is the widow of pilot victor Saracini, the captain of the Boeing jet that took off from Boston aboard United flight 175, which was crashed into the southern tower. However, Ellen was unwilling to see the death of her husband and father of her two daughters end with yet another line in the commission’s report; she decided to seek justice on her own.
Saracini approached attorney Thomas Mellon, who specializes in lawsuits against large corporations. Mellon’s team members launched an investigation. They met potential witnesses, interviewed intelligence officials, CIA agents, Iranian defectors, a French judge and others. They even reached Israel in their search (in the interest of full disclosure, the writer of this article was also summoned to testify in the trial, as one of nine expert witnesses.)
The investigation kept progressing, diving deep into the dark corners of the global world of intelligence and terrorism. Ten years later, Mellon and his team are convinced that they possess the “smoking gun” that will tie Iran to the September 11 attacks.
The legal team drafted a huge lawsuit, recently submitted to the Manhattan District Court. What hides inside it is far from being routine. The lawsuit is premised on a dramatic charge: The responsibility for the 9/11 attacks lies not only with al-Qaeda, but also with Iran and Hezbollah, based on what attorneys say is clear, unequivocal evidence.
The case has far-reaching implications, which explain why the US government is not eager to look into the conversation records in the abovementioned NSA room. A ruling that Iran is linked to the attacks would pose a tough test to Administration officials: On the one hand, they would not be able to ignore such verdict. Yet on the other hand, what exactly will they do with it? Will they attack Iran, just as they invaded Afghanistan and Iraq? 21 mar 2012, 18:03 , Respect -

See What Dan Rather would NOT READ on 9/11: ISRAEL, the MOTIVE, the WHY of the attacks -- Motive suppressed by the media! Omitting motive of anger at US support of Israel is Media Betrayal. Michael Scheuer (former CIA intelligence officer and CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief 1996-99) points out that our politicians are lying to us about why our lives are being put at risk with regard to the motivation of the terrorists attack the U.S. Why they hate us ISN'T "hatred of our freedoms" but rather hatred of specific foreign policies of the U.S. government which are, in fact, unjust, immoral and illegal.

The 1993 attack was led by Khalid Shaikh Mohammed's nephew, Ramzi Yousef. After his capture, the FBI questioned Ramzi Yousef on the flight back from Pakistan about his motivations for bombing the World Trade Center in 1993.
"Yousef said he took no thrill from killing American citizens and felt guilty about the civilian deaths he had caused. But his conscience was overridden by his desire to stop the killing of Arabs by Israeli troops." "Yousef said he "would like it to be different," but only terrible violence could force this kind of abrupt political change. He said that he truly believed his actions had been rational and logical in pursuit of a change in U.S. policy toward Israel. He mentioned NO OTHER motivation during the flight and NO OTHER issue in American foreign policy that concerned him."

The Sudan connection
The huge amount of evidence included in the lawsuit comes together to form a fascinating charge: Starting in the 1990s, Iran and Hezbollah helped Osama Bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri create a new terror organization from scratch, to be headed by Afghanistan veterans and members of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Iran trained group members, equipped them with advanced technological means, enabled them to move freely and provided them with plenty of terror-related expertise and experience accumulated by Hezbollah in its operations against Israel and the United States.
Later, according to the lawsuit, Iran assisted in the preparations ahead of September 11. Should Mellon and his team prove all of the above, everything we thought we knew about the terror offensive will change forever.
According to the lawsuit, the relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda was initiated in the early 1990s in Sudan. At the time, Sudan turned into the world’s second state, after Iran, to be ruled by radical Islam.
According to the testimonies of senior CIA officials, Iran’s President Rafsanjani, Intelligence Minister Ali Fallahian and Revolutionary Guards Chief Mohsen Rezai visited Sudan. They were accompanied by a figure well-known to Israel’s intelligence services: Imad Mugniyah, the head of Hezbollah’s military wing (Mugniyah was assassinated in February of 2008 in an operation attributed to Israel.) All participants in the meeting pledged to assist the Sudanese regime and join forces with it in supporting other jihadist movements in the Middle East.
When it turned out that Sudan was emerging as a new terrorism theater, Israel’s intelligence agencies started to deploy human and electronic resources there. The file on developments in Sudan until 1996 is known in Israel as “Blue Smurfs” and contains a treasure trove of information about the seed that later became Global Jihad.
When Saracini’s attorneys sought the Israeli government’s assistance in receiving the Blue Smurfs file, they were told the information was acquired in cooperation with a foreign party, and that this information can only be shared with this party’s approval. Such authorization has not been given to this day.
What we are allowed to reveal here is that Israel’s intelligence officials identified at the time tight relations between radical Islamic terrorists in Egypt and Department 15 in Iran’s Intelligence Ministry. Notably, Department 15 is tasked with exporting the Islamic revolution to other Arab states.
Israel was also able to identify a prominent terror leader in Sudan. His name was Ayman al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian jihadist who served a prison term for his role in President Anwar Sadat’s assassination. Year later, Zawahiri’s name became known worldwide; he turned into al-Qaeda’s chief strategist, Bin Laden’s deputy and successor, and a man with a $25 million price tag on his head, courtesy of the FBI.
In April of 1991, Zawahiri secretly visited Iran and sought Iranian assistance for a Cairo revolution. The parties agreed on Iranian support for Zawahiri’s organization in the form of money and training. The terror leader sent many of his men to train in Iranian camps, mostly under the guidance of Lebanese Hezbollah members led by Imad Mugniyah.
During his visit to Iran, al-Zawahiri was convinced of the immense power of a suicide attack as an effective modus operandi. Years later he realized that if a suicide bomber is effective, a terrorist who crashes a Boeing aircraft into a tower would be much more effective.
Discovering Osama
Following further efforts, it turned out that an even bigger group of Muslim radicals was operating in Sudan alongside Zawahiri and his men. Some of them were veterans of the guerilla war initiated by America in Afghanistan against the Russian invasion in the 1980s.
Yet who was the leader of these Afghanistan veterans? How did he operate? Where was he getting his funding? Israel’s intelligence effort continued, and the name of a Saudi contractor who was expelled from his country started to surface, with his real estate work being used as cover for secret terror activity. The contractor’s name started to appear in intelligence reports: Osama Bin Laden. One of his construction companies was known as al-Qaeda (“The Base” in Arabic.)
Israel’s intelligence services discovered that Bin Laden joined forces with Zawahiri. During this period, the two grew much closer, with Zawahiri (a surgeon by training) also becoming Bin Laden’s personal physician. The new friendship prompted Bin Laden to send some of his senior aides for training in Tehran and in Hezbollah camps in Lebanon. The infrastructure for al-Qaeda’s establishment was now ready.
In 1998, an Egyptian-born US Marine called Ali Mohammed was detained on suspicion of involvement in blowing up America’s embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. In his testimony he confessed that in 1989 he traveled to Afghanistan and joined Islamic Jihad and Bin Laden. Mohammed said he trained al-Qaeda terrorists on using explosives as well as on intelligence-gathering techniques to be used in attacks on US targets.
Mohammed also testified that he personally handled security arrangements for a Sudan meeting between Hezbollah’s Mugniyah and Bin Laden. Following these meetings, Hezbollah provided al-Qaeda and Islamic Jihad with explosives training. Iran also used Hezbollah in order to provide explosive materials designed to resemble rocks. Israeli veterans of the Lebanon wars are well familiar with these bombs.
Mohammed testified that many of the training sessions were held in an Iranian camp run by the Intelligence Ministry. Based on information from the Blue Smurfs file, which was discovered in the NSA basement, the National Commission ruled that senior al-Qaeda members received training and advice from Hezbollah while in Sudan. These are important testimonies for Ellen Saracini. If Hezbollah equals Iran, and Bin Laden’s men were trained by Hezbollah, there is a basis to the charge about an Iran-al-Qaeda link.
The jihadist group identified in Sudan maintained close ties with Afghanistan veterans worldwide and tirelessly worked to form global networks and connections. “We felt that something very big was brewing there; something very different than anything we’ve seen before,” an Israeli intelligence official said. “This was not about a state dispatching terrorists, but rather, about an organization that seemingly created itself.” A short while later, a special intelligence desk was formed in Israel to deal with the subject. Indeed, the IDF Intelligence Branch and Mossad were the first to recognize the danger.
First burning tower
June 25, 1996. Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. A huge explosion shakes the Khobar Towers in this important oil city. Nineteen US troops are killed and some 500 are wounded. Perhaps this is where the 9/11 terrorists learned about the major effect of blowing up a tower. Officially, the perpetrators of this attack have not been identified to this day.
Yet the current trial includes testimony by then-FBI Director Louis Freeh, who asserts that the attack was an Iranian initiative carried out by Hezbollah in conjunction with al-Qaeda. Senior CIA officials said that the NSA possesses intercepted Bin Laden conversations that prove a direct link to the attack. Attorneys will be using this evidence in the trial to show that Iran was in the picture at the early stages of establishing al-Qaeda.
Mellon’s team elicited thousands of documents showing how Iran assisted al-Qaeda in becoming an effective, lethal terror group throughout the 1990s. According to US law, this would be enough to find Iranian authorities culpable and there would be no need to prove direct involvement in 9/11. However, Mellon’s team decided not to take any risks and to present the court with evidence which they say proves Tehran’s direct involvement in the terror attacks.
Early in the 9/11 commission’s work, it turned out that the issue of traveling and visas was a major component in the affair. According to the documents submitted to the court, an immense operation was managed prior to September 11 in order to facilitate the many trips required by the operation.
The reason is clear: Only a well-oiled arrangement of flights and secret border crossings could have enabled the terrorists to enter and exit the US and go to Afghanistan. Anyone who ever tried to get a US visa knows this is no simple matter. A passport stamp of a state on America’s list of terror-sponsors immediately turns one into a suspect.
So how did the 19 terrorists manage to enter the US after all? How could it be that US immigration officials in Germany and Saudi Arabia suspected nothing? The answer to these questions remained unknown, until the treasure trove was discovered at the NSA basement. As it turned out, many of the terrorists headed from Afghanistan to Iran, with Iranian officials ordering border control officers not to stamp these passports. The other terrorists passed through Beirut in their many trips, where Hezbollah officials similarly cared for them.
Mellon’s team hopes that this is where the “smoking gun” can be found, proving a direct link between Iran and 9/11. If Iran did not know about the attacks and was not involved in them, why did it keep its stamps off the terrorists’ passports?
Yet that’s not all. The intelligence information submitted to the court includes yet another “smoking gun”: In some of the flights, the terrorists were accompanied by figures whose names were identical to the aliases used by former Hezbollah “army chief” Imad Mugniyah and some of his close aides. This would be hard to dismiss as an “odd coincidence.”
The Iranian defectors
The materials gathered for the trial include three rare testimonies by three Iranian intelligence establishment defectors. They have been marked as witnesses X, Y and Z. Their videotaped testimonies offer a profound peek into the depths of the kingdom of evil. For long hours they recount their childhood and adolescence in Tehran and how they were hired for the prestigious posts in Iran’s spy agencies. Then, they start talking about the ties between Iran, Hezbollah and al-Qaeda.
Witness X testifies about Iran’s advance knowledge of the plan to crash passenger airliners into strategic targets in Washington and New York. He testifies that he was present at training facilities for Sunni terrorists in Iran and adds many details about the way Iran’s intelligence service utilizes legitimate Iranian organizations such as its airline and shipping company for terror aims.
Witness Y testifies about Imad Mugniyah’s personal involvement in training the September 11 hijackers and the shelter granted by Iran to al-Qaeda’s men after the attacks. Meanwhile, witness Z says that he was present in a series of meetings in Tehran involving senior al-Qaeda men, local intelligence officials and Mugniyah’s men in the months before the 9/11 attacks.
Following the attacks, many senior al-Qaeda men found shelter in Iran. Tehran denied their presence for some time and later admitted that hundreds of al-Qaeda members are in the country and are under “house arrest.” For the time being, Iranian authorities have not responded to the lawsuit, and as happened in many cases, the judges may hand down their decision in the presence of one side only. The court could order compensation funds to be taken from frozen Iranian accounts.
This month, Ellen Saracini marks the 10th anniversary of the 9/11attacks. Saracini, who is closely accompanied by two lawyers who invested a special effort in the investigation, Tom Mellon and Timothy Fleming, is working days and nights in promoting the lawsuit against Iran and in commemorating the 9/11 victims. She says that the families who filed the lawsuit have one objective in mind: “Preventing these barbarians from committing further attacks against the United States and further attacks against humanity.”

Ahmadinejad: US used 9/11 to wage wars
TEHRAN (AFP) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that the United States used the 9/11 attacks as a "game and pretext" to wage wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"September 11 was actually a game designed to influence the emotions of the human community, in order to find a pretext for attacking Islamic regions and invading Iraq and Afghanistan," he was quoted as saying on the website of his office on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
It was not the first time Ahmadinejad has criticized Iran's arch-foe over the attacks which killed nearly 3,000 people, destroyed the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center and plunged the country into an era of wars.
In June, during a counter-terrorism summit in Tehran, Ahmadinejad said that "the American government used the attacks as a pretext to occupy two countries, and kill, injure and displace people in the region."
He also sparked Western fury in September 2010 when in his speech at the United Nations -- four miles (six kilometres) from where the World Trade Center used to be -- he said that "some people within the US government orchestrated the attacks to reverse the declining American economy."
And in March 2010 he called the 9/11 attacks a "big lie."

General Wesley Clark on 9/11, Says Aggression Against Libya & Syria Was Planned Years Ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mNr1aaDiNw.
Gen. Wesley Clark claims that ten days after 911 military invasions of Iraq and Libya, with several other Middle Eastern countries, were already planned and settled beforehand. Now we have the explanation for the Iraq war, the Libyan war, and any of the other wars that are coming in the near future. It would be wise for us to keep our eyes on Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon, and/or Iran, the other countries Clark gives on the list for a planned western invasions.
General Wesley Clark:
Because I had been through the Pentagon right after 9/11. About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, "Sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second." I said, "Well, you're too busy." He said, "No, no." He says, "We've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq."
This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, "We're going to war with Iraq? Why?" He said, "I don't know." He said, "I guess they don't know what else to do." So I said, "Well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?" He said, "No, no." He says, "There's nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq." He said, "I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists, but we've got a good military and we can take down governments."
And he said, "I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail."
So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, "Are we still going to war with Iraq?" And he said, "Oh, it's worse than that." He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, "I just got this down from upstairs" -- meaning the Secretary of Defense's office -- "today." And he said, "This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran." I said, "Is it classified?" He said, "Yes, sir." I said, "Well, don't show it to me." And I saw him a year or so ago, and I said, "You remember that?" He said, "Sir, I didn't show you that memo! I didn't show it to you!"

With Libya's transitional leadership saying they awaite state visits by British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, some analysts are warning that Africa may yet face echoes of its colonial past.
Gaddafi's Libya was the engine uniting Africa, argued Dan Glazebrook, a political analyst on the Middle East. And a united Africa, he noted, would have meant a final break from the centuries of Western colonial rule over the continent.
"Gaddafi was the main driving force behind founding the African Union in 2002," he told RT. "His country was the main financial contributor to the three major financial institutions of the African Union: the African Central Bank, the Investment Bank and the African Monetary Fund. Between them, they would have posed a huge challenge to the IMF hegemony in Africa."
Moreover, Libya's dinar, which was proposed as the single currency of the union, would have posed a threat to the US dollar, British pound and French franc as the main currencies in Africa.
"All of this is a threat to Africa's subordinate role in the global economy," claimed the political analyst.

9/11: Echoes of the Big Lie
by Stephen Lendman
During and after 9/11 weekend, duplicitous echoes persist, regurgitating official lies instead of full disclosure.
A September 10 Wall Street Journal editorial headlined, "The 9/11 Decade," recalling its 9/11/01 edition, saying:
That Tuesday morning, "the World-Wide column of The Wall Street Journal carried" violent incident reports in Istanbul, Nigeria, the "menace" of global justice protests, and challenges of various "urban-guerrila movement(s)."
It's 9/12 edition covered what was too late to publish the previous day.
A personal note:
I bought and saved it as a remembrance of that horrific day. Headlined in large bold top of the page type, it said:
"TERRORISTS DESTROY WORLD TRADE CENTER, HIT PENTAGON IN RAID WITH HIJACKED JETS," followed by feature columns filling the entire front page.
They included:
"Death Toll, Source of Devastating Attacks Remain Unclear; US Vows Retaliation as Attention Focuses on bin Laden"
"Nation Stands In Disbelief and Horror"
"Hour of Horror Forever Alters American Lives"
"US Airport Security Screening Long Seen as Dangerously Lax"
"Attacks Raise Fears of a Recession"
The entire edition concentrated heavily on what happened, including feature op-eds and two editorials headlined:
"A Terrorist Pearl Harbor," and
"Civility Amidst Chaos"
On December 8, 1941, Franklin Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress, calling December 7 "a date which will live in infamy (when) the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."
On September 11, 2001, the United States of America willfully and maliciously attacked itself, blaming others for its crime that augured far worse ones to come.
In fact, the neocon think tank Project for a New American Century (PNAC - now the Foreign Policy Initiative) published an earlier document titled, "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces and Resources for a New Century."
Saying "America should seek to preserve and extend its position of global leadership by maintaining the preeminence of US military forces," it detailed an imperial scheme for US dominance to extend well into the future, saying achieving it required "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."
Key PNAC members included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz. As Bush administration members on 9/11, they got what they wanted to wage permanent wars on humanity. Under Obama, they rage out-of-control, and ahead may include general war.
The Journal's September 10 editorial continued saying:
By 9/11 evening, "it was clear that the threat of Islamic terrorism was real, urgent and growing, and that it would require from the Bush administration a serious and sustained response, both on offense and defense."
Fact check
Muslims then and now pose no threat to America. In contrast, America very much threatens them across North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and dozens of other countries where thousands of US Special Forces death squads are deployed to summarily kill and destroy.
In other words, America's post-9/11 overseas "rules of engagement" exclude due process, judicial fairness and fair trials. Just a bullet, bomb, knife in the back, or slit throat, besides torture and war on the world.
The editorial claimed terrorists threaten America, saying "( a) list recently compiled by the Heritage Foundation (an over-the-top extremist neocon think tank) records 40 foiled plots since 9/11."
Fact check
In fact, none Heritage listed are true. Everyone charged is innocent. All of them involve falsely accused Muslims.
Post-9/11, America declared war on Islam.
Ever since, innocent victims paid dearly, including five principals of the largest Muslim charity in America (the Holy Land Foundation) - indicted, convicted and imprisoned for doing the right thing.
They were maliciously targeted for providing vitally needed aid to the "wrong" needy families, Muslim families, besides various other social services.
Even lawyers defending the "wrong" Muslim clients were targeted. Notably, Lynne Stewart, a heroic human rights champion, for representing an innocent man Washington wanted imprisoned for life.
For doing her job, she got 10 years in prison. Barring an early release, clemency, or pardon, she'll be there until age 80. Given her less than ideal health, she may never again embrace her loved ones.
Lynne and others like her symbolize how America treats its best, especially in a post-9/11 world!
The Journal editorial was a wasteland of duplicitous distortions and lies, including:
-- calling "real torture" what "happens to maimed victims of terrorist atrocities," omitting the horrors of state terror;
-- claiming Obama ended enhanced interrogations and closed down black sites, when, in fact, torture remains official US policy in numerous prison hellholes;
-- calling those accusing Bush administration officials of trampling on civil liberties a "particularly vulgar partisan maneuver," when, in fact, America during his tenure became a police state, hardened under Obama;
-- saying America's wars on Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries harboring Al Qaeda are justified when, in fact, all US wars are lawless imperial aggression against nonbelligerent countries; and
-- concluding by claiming "the first 9/11 decade should, for all of the pain it has imposed, give us confidence that we can see the battle through."
Pogo got it right, saying "We have met the enemy and he is us."
Duplicity also shows up in New York Times articles, op-eds and editorials, including another disgraceful September 10 9/11 one headlined, "Loss and Hope," saying:
"A decade later, we're still trying to understand, looking back and looking ahead. It is not enough to simply remember and grieve."
"People wanted to be enlarged, to be called on to do more for country and community than ordinary life usually requires, to make this senseless horror count for something."
Fact check
From that horrific day to now, political Washington and major media scoundrels lied to Americans. They suppressed vital truths, including about wars against nonbelligerent countries and innocent Muslims.
Rogues US criminals were responsible for 9/11's "senseless horror" that launched a decade of permanent wars Dick Cheney said won't end in our lifetimes.
Admitting that "we were drawn into a misdirected war that has exacted enormous costs in lives and money," besides "taint(ing)....our civic life....by a rise in xenophobia," the editorial concluded by saying "(w)e are still learning about the events of 9/11."
"Perhaps in time we will realize that the full meaning of what happened on 9/11 resides in the surge of compassion and hope that accompanied the shock and mourning of that September day."
Fact check
We know more than enough to name political Washington, including the Pentagon and CIA responsible for state-sponsored criminality that launched a decade of raging imperial wars.
America's victims at home and abroad deserve compassion and redress. Responsible culprits deserve lawful prosecution for a crime that unleashed multiple others without end.
But don't expect duplicitous media scoundrels to explain or demand justice for 9/11's real victims. In the end, they may include all humanity.
Washington Post commentaries are no better, including a September 9 editorial, updated on September 11 headlined, "Washington's response," saying:
"Innocent civilians - our friends, neighbors, family members - paid a terrible price for (9/11's) murderous acts."
Fact check
Indeed so, but don't expect Post editorials or other broadsheet opinion pieces to lay blame where it belongs.
Saying innocent people died in New York, Washington, and on hijacked planes, the editorial ignored America's crimes of war and against humanity that continue taking millions of lives abroad and at home, besides inflicting incalculable human misery.
Calling the scope of 9/11 terrorism "unimaginable," dead, injured, occupied, and persecuted Muslims were out of sight and mind.
Only America's pain matters, no matter how inflicted or why.
Despite "confusion and emotional trauma" on 9/11, "terrorists (were) denied....the victory they sought. And it revealed a core of strength in our region that will prepare us for whatever may come next."
Fact check
Home-grown state terrorists got precisely what they wanted, even though unwinnable wars still rage in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Another may continue for years in Libya and perhaps whatever future countries Washington attacks. Others remain in its queue.
America's core isn't strength. It's off-the-scale rogue criminality, state terrorism too gruesome to imagine. Ask millions of global victims. They'll explain.
A Final Comment
On September 10, the BBC quoted Obama saying 9/11 made America stronger, adding:
"As a resilient nation, we will carry on." Al Qaeda is "on the path to defeat," but warnings say they're behind new "credible but unconfirmed" threats to Americans.
"Yes we face a determined foe, and make no mistake. They will keep trying to hit us again. But as we are showing again this weekend, we remain vigilant."
Obama is a duplicitous scoundrel, a serial liar, and war criminal, slaughtering innocent people in nations America wishes to destroy, occupy and control.
Ahead of America honoring its 9/11 victims, James Petras headlined his new article, "NATO's War Crimes in Libya: Who Grieves for the Fallen Heros," saying:
Besides other countries America and NATO attacked and occupy, they inflicted "systematic destruction (that) will cost Libya at least a 'lost decade.' "
In addition, "Sub-Sahara Africa will suffer" without Gaddafi's proposed "Bank of Africa." If established, it would have freed member nations from predatory international lending agencies like the IMF and World Bank.
Moreover, NATO repeatedly proves it's more adept "at destroying than constructing a modern secular state rooted in a modern civil bureaucracy, universal free public education, secular judicial system and modern health services."
Like Afghans and Iraqis, Libyans instead will get Washington-enforced colonization, occupation, plunder and exploitation - that is, those still alive when terror bombing ends to endure what's planned next for them.
Petras accurately called NATO's destruction of Libya "grotesque and criminal." When fighting stops slaughtering thousands, Washington can claim another imperial trophy.
With echoes of 9/11's commemoration still audible, Obama and his NATO co-conspirators can revel in the carnage they caused.
So can major media scoundrels that cheerled it all the way.

'CIA knew about 9/11 from about April and May 2001'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMlnhRQiTxE
U.S. intelligence analyst and 9/11 whistleblower, Susan Lindauer, says the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency knew about the September 11 attacks from April and May of 2001.
“The CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency knew about 9/11 from about April and May of 2001. I discovered when my CIA handler instructed me to threaten my contacts at the Iraqi embassy in New York with war in the event that 9/11 happened and the Iraqi failed to provide actionable intelligence to us that would help us thwart it,” Lindauer told Press TV's U.S. Desk.
Iraq insisted that it had nothing to hand over to the U.S., she said. After years of devastating sanctions “Iraq was looking for peace and if they had had any intelligence on the 9/11 conspiracy they were fully aware that they needed to hand it over and they would have wanted to do that.”
Lindauer, the author of “Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq” said that she was warned in August of 2001 to stay out of New York because the “attacks were considered imminent.”
As a U.S. Intelligence Asset, Susan Lindauer covered anti-terrorism at the Iraqi Embassy in New York from 1996 up to the invasion. Shortly after requesting to testify before Congress about successful elements of Pre-War Intelligence, Lindauer became one of the first non-Arab Americans arrested on the Patriot Act as an "Iraqi Agent."

'9/11 attacks possibly Mossad job'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6IlF18cVTg
A prominent American author says he believes that the 9/11 attacks that left almost 3,000 people dead have been carried out by “the rogue elements within the US and possibly Israel's Mossad.”
“9/11 has been used to basically put money into the military industrial complex which was threatened after the collapse of the Soviet Union,” Enver Masud, the author of “9/11 Unveiled,” told Press TV's US Desk on Saturday.
“Defense spending goes up because of 9/11 which was not conducted by 19 Arab hijackers as claimed but the rogue elements within the US and possibly Israel's Mossad,” said Masud.
The founder of the Wisdom Fund said that “the US military industrial complex has run amuck, it has terrorized the world and it has taken away liberties at homes for Americans.”
On September 11, 2001, a series of coordinated attacks were carried out in the United States leaving almost 3,000 people dead.
During the incident, 19 reported al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners and crashed two of them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings.
The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington D.C.
The US, under the administration of former President George W. Bush, invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after claiming that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by members of al-Qaeda harbored by the then Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
The US also attacked Iraq in 2003 claiming that the Middle Eastern country was in possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

BBC report proves 9/11 was arranged
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lco5YFXfuqM
An analyst reminds us on the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 explosions that WTC Building 7 was reported by the BBC to have collapsed -- 26 minutes prior to the event occurring.
Press TV talks with Stephen Lendman, writer and radio host about how the American people while commemorating the deaths of those in New York neglect to include the millions of innocent dead Iraqi and Afghani civilians that resulted thereafter. He also talks about Project for a New American Century (PNAC) as a criminal element within the highest level of US government whose agenda corresponds with the 9/11 event. Following is a transcript of the interview.
Press TV: You are watching part of the ceremony -- When we consider what has happened since 9/11 in terms of the security, is America secure from terrorist attacks? Has the world become a safer place?
Stephen Lendman: I have written volumes on 9/11 and I am appalled by the hypocrisy, by the duplicity of honoring people that were killed in New York where the entire event (official story) was something entirely different. But there is no honoring in New York... no commemorating of the millions of innocent people killed in Muslim countries that my country (US) and its allies have murdered -- that's the only way to say it -- they have been murdered, millions of them and it began before 9/11, but it especially got horrific in the post 9/11 years.
I cannot forgive my country for this grievous crime that the annals of history one day will report accurately and everyone will know what America's media and political Washington won't say today.
Press TV: There are a lot of question asked by authorities of what happened during this past ten years. What questions would you ask American authorities as far as the 9/11 attacks are concerned?
Stephen Lendman: Well, I would ask them some of the questions that some disenchanted members of the 9/11 Commission began posing in recent times including a former US Senator Max Cleveland who resigned from the 9/11 Commission calling what they were doing “a national disgrace.”
There were others who basically said in so many words, “we were lied to; we were ordered to suppress the truth and present a litany of lies so that the American people and the world would never know the truth about what actually happened on this day; who was responsible; what it was all about.”
And of course what it was all about was an organization, an extremist neo con think tank called the Project for a New American Century. They published a report years before 9/11 and they basically said that America needs to reinforce its defenses; build up its military and institute a policy to ensure that America had unchallenged global hegemony. But this could not happen without a catalyzing event of the order of a second Pearl Harbor. Well, America got its second Pearl Harbor.
Members of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) included Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Chaney, and Paul Wolfowitz -- all criminal members of the Bush administration directly responsible for waging war on non-belligerent countries and at home against innocent Muslim Americans.
America declared war on Islam as well as non-belligerent countries. These are grievous war crimes.
Press TV: The question of 9/11 of course remains of who was behind it, but for how long do you think the American authorities are going to cling to that -- up hold the idea of 9/11 being orchestrated by terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and perhaps find other countries to invade?
Stephen Lendman: Well, al-Qaeda had nothing to do with 9/11 this was a fake trail and I agree with your president -- he's right when months back he was very critical about the 9/11 story... and I agree with him -- this was absolutely a state-sponsored event. I know distinguished researchers who have done extensive research of the facts behind 9/11. As far as I'm concerned its case closed.
There were no “crazed Arabs” responsible; it wasn't Bin Laden; it wasn't al-Qaeda -- this was a very carefully planned and executed event. And it was impossible that aircraft could strike the twin towers in New York and ignite a fire with kerosene -- airline fuel -- that doesn't burn anywhere near hot enough to melt steel to bring those towers down -- and they collapsed at near free fall speed -- a physical impossibility.
There was only one way that could happen -- those buildings were rigged with dynamite to send them down and all the evidence was hauled away and destroyed so nobody could get their hands on it. But there was evidence gotten from WTC Building 7 that came down later in the afternoon. The BBC that day reported WTC 7 coming down 26 minutes before it happened. How about that! Do you smell something rotten in that account?

An analyst says that buildings that were brought down in 9/11 attacks had been rigged with dynamite, Press TV reports.
“There was only one way that could happen [on 9/11]-- those buildings were rigged with dynamite to send them down and all the evidence was hauled away and destroyed so nobody could get their hands on it,” said Stephen Lendman, a writer and radio host, in an interview with Press TV.
Lendman also said, “But there was evidence gotten from WTC Building 7 that came down later in the afternoon. The BBC that day reported WTC 7 coming down 26 minutes before it happened. How about that! Do you smell something rotten in that account?”
On September 11, 2001, a series of coordinated attacks were carried out in the United States leaving almost 3,000 people dead.
Lendman further said that the idea behind the concerted attacks was to establish a new US hegemony.
“And of course what it was all about was an organization, an extremist neo con think tank called the Project for a New American Century. They published a report years before 9/11 and they basically said that America needs to reinforce its defenses; build up its military and institute a policy to ensure that America had unchallenged global hegemony.

The US, under the administration of former President George W. Bush, invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after claiming that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by members of al-Qaeda harbored by the then Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
The US also attacked Iraq in 2003 claiming that the Middle Eastern country was in possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
However, it was later revealed that not only was not executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in possession of WMDs but also that US and UK leaders knew about the non-existence of such weapons.

New World Order 'breaking down'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vWmVVfsYgE
On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the US-led invasion of Afghanistan, thousands of Afghans staged a rally in Kabul to protest the occupation of their country.
The protesters condemned the US forces for killing innocent civilians and supporting the Taliban and al-Qaeda. They also demanded an immediate withdrawal of the foreign troops from Afghanistan.
The US and its allies including Britain invaded Afghanistan in 2001 in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
Press TV has conducted an exclusive interview with Fredrick Toben, an Australian author and political commentator, to talk about the consequences of the invasion for the Afghan people and the world at large.
Press TV: Ten years on now and the anniversary of the invasion of the US-led forces in Afghanistan, what has been accomplished in your perspective?
Toben: I think what has been achieved is a downfall of an order that was established at the end of the Second World War and America and its allies tried to develop a framework that would see them through into the 21st century, they called it the 'New World Order'. This is now breaking down because the system that they have established is inherently predatory and it is destructive under the guise of freedom and democracy; it rubs and plunders countries for its own benefit.
Press TV: One of the main excuses for the war was the 9/11 attacks. Do you think the world now ten years on still believe and if ever believe that it was right for the United States to go in there because of the 9/11 attacks? Do you think that we are seeing a shift in the perspective of people at this point in time or not?
Toben: I think so because initially the 9/11 event was built with an overarching body of lies that the ordinary person really did not care about because they had to continue living and in all countries even in Australia or Europe or America most people are far too busy making a living. They cannot really get into the witty gritty of things and now this has unraveled where the banks, for example, the economic factor is impacting on the ideological and the result is where people are saying enough is enough.
Press TV: So at this point in time, do you think that people are starting around the world who feel the pressure in their pockets that will actually bring them more towards activism? Where do you see this going? We have mass demonstrations in Europe, besides of course Middle East and Africa, and now the demonstrations starting in the United States. Do you think that we are going to be seeing more of these types of actions?
Toben: I think the concept truth is reemerging where people are saying we are listening to politicians, for example, the US Congress and all we hear is lies and we get deception; we are deceived and therefore they were asking questions through the Internet. The ordinary person says or knows that a lie has been told which was initially admitted with the weapons of mass destruction, then you go back to 9/11 and you realize that it is a story that is a total lie because no building self-implodes like that and we then have to ask more questions and you will find that the legal mechanism will now tighten in America; it will tighten on free expression, America prides itself on its first amendment, it will now be free expression split into free speech and hate speech and anyone who opposes the current American political ideology will be labeled a hater. There is an academic in America who is already starting a new academic program called 'hate crimes'. This is a nonsense. A crime is a crime.
Press TV: So you think that by trying to divide that, they are actually trying to find a way to control speech?
Toben: In fact, they will try to survive bring that system that emerged out of the second World War conflict into safety. But I sense that with the impulse from Africa and the Middle East, this will break down because we will be focusing then also on what is happening in Palestine; we will bring in the elements of historical studies such as the Holocaust and then we realize that the left-right wing divide is not really important. What is important is the national and international divides. All over the world, there are small countries practicing outright nationalism but they are all beholding internationally to the monetary system, to the IMF and the World Bank.

Saudi Arabia names Nayef heir to throne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfrCX1ugF4Q
Saudi Ahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfrCX1ugF4Qrabia's interior minister, Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz, pictured in March 2011, was named the new heir to the throne by royal decree which was read on state television on Thursday.
Saudi Arabia has named powerful Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz as successor of King Abdullah as the mourning period for Crown Prince Sultan has ended.
The 78-year-old prince who has been interior minister for nearly four decades succeeds Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, who died last week in New York and was buried on Tuesday in Riyadh, AFP reported on Thursday.
Nayef would take over the throne of the oil-rich kingdom upon the death of King Abdullah, 87, who is recovering from his third operation in a year.
However, with the king's health problems, the new crown prince is expected to assume an active role immediately.
The royal decree read out on state television called on King Abdullah's inner circle to recognize Nayef's new status.
Video on Saudi TV showed the king sitting silent in an armchair, wearing a white headscarf and robe, with another cream-colored robe draped over his shoulders.
The crown prince was also named as deputy prime minister, but the appointment of new defense minister has been withheld. The post was left vacant by the death of Sultan, who served as defense minister of the kingdom for some 50 years.
Historically, in Saudi Arabia the king chooses his heir, but Prince Nayef was selected by Allegiance Council, a 37-member body composed of his brothers and cousins.
Nayef earned hatred in the West when in a 2002 interview he said the "Zionists" benefited from the September 11 attacks in New York because it turned world opinion against Islam and Arabs.

US behind 9/11: Russian author
Russian author Nikolai Starikov
A bestselling Russian author says the United States orchestrated the September 11 attacks, adding that Washington is behind numerous acts of terrorism in the world.
In an interview with the Russian weekly Argumenti I Fakti, Nikolai Starikov said the US was behind all the crises and wars of the past century and said he was certain that 9/11 was a US conspiracy.
Starikov stated that the recent US allegation claiming that Tehran was involved in a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington is another example of the US policy of destabilizing other countries.
Washington sustains its global hegemony through sowing as much discord as possible in other countries, the Russian author said.
He asked how anyone could take seriously the allegations of a country that accused Saddam Husain of possessing weapons of mass destruction but never found anything.
Starikov added that the US needs global shocks to prevent its economy from melting down.
The Russian scholar noted that only collaboration among Russia, China, and Europe in a unified front can prevent another economic debacle like the 2008 economic recession.
Others have to suffer for the US to prosper, he added.

Amerika Uber Alles: Our Zionazi Nation
By Captain Eric H. May
While I always hope to be wrong in my worst-case analysis, my Wednesday article, Nuclear November, is supported by a cascade of alarming indicators that make it certain that Israel is about to prove Europeans right in their opinion that it’s the world’s most dangerous nation. Armed with one of the world’s largest nuclear arsenals, they cry out to humanity that they are history’s greatest victims; but more and more of humanity is crying out that they are history’s greatest victimizers.
Recent events support the Judeophobes over the Judeophiles, and warrant the coining of a new word, Judeopathic, to describe the actions of the self-proclaimed Jewish Nation. They either are preparing to start a war with Iran, or are running a bluff to push the West into a stronger anti-Iran position to avert war. Look to Adolf Hitler’s 1936 Rhineland, 1938 Czechoslovakia and 1939 Poland threats for a close parallel. In the first and second cases he was bluffing; in the third he wasn’t. Then as now, informed insiders thought hard about it all, and misinformed masses hardly thought at all.
The coming third world war demands reflection on the second. In my abbreviated but adventurous life, I have enjoyed the friendship and mentoring of U.S. World War Two veterans from both European and Pacific theaters, as well as Russians and Germans from both sides of the front. With Veterans Day, 11/11/11, fast approaching, I dedicate this edition of Amerika Uber Alles, first published by The Lone Star Iconoclast in 2007, to them. I offer it to my readers without updates, believing that what I posted four years ago has stood the test of time.
Amerika Uber Alles: Our Zionazi Nation
Saint Peter’s Prologue
The most persuasive anti-Nazi I ever knew was my mentor, Dr. Peter W. Guenther, who believed that Nazism was monstrous at every level. As a professor of humanities, he thought it was both inhumane and inhuman. As a professor of art history, he thought its aesthetics were artless histrionics. He readily granted that his intellectual opinions were molded by his personal experiences.
As a German veteran of World War II, he regretted the loss of his youth, the waste of his friends’ lives and the devastation that they had inflicted on others. He held Hitler accountable for all of this – after all, it was Hitler who had drafted them into the war. He had served from 1939 to 1945, from Poland to Norway, France and Russia. He once quipped that before every one of their invasions their leaders said they were fighting for national defense, but after the shooting started every soldier on every side believed that he was fighting for his own self-defense.
By the time of the Iraq war he was retired from academe, and I was writing military analysis for media. As U.S. forces began storming up the Euphrates Valley in the spring of 2003, hell-bent on Baghdad, we began to discuss the limited American mobilized manpower and materiel, and the overall limitations of blitz tactics. Guided by his insights, I published a then-radical op-ed in the Houston Chronicle that warned of a quicksand war in Iraq, and maybe a world war as a result of it.
As the easy war promised us by the Bush administration wore on into the summer of 2003, Dr. Guenther and I began to note that there were more similarities between Post-9/11 America and Third Reich Germany than just over-reliance on Blitzkrieg tactics, and we determined that the two nations were following parallel political courses. Most disturbing for my mentor, who had become a patriotic American citizen after World War II, was the painful conclusion that our American president, with his global war for a New American Century, was just another German fuhrer, with a world war for a Thousand Year Reich.
“This is a bad copy of a bad original,” he said.
“Drang Nach Osten” — The Eastern Offensive
George W. Bush came into office with a secret war plan and no excuse to implement it – just as Hitler had come into office in 1933 with the same predicament. Both of them wanted the prize of Middle Eastern oil. In Hitler’s case that meant going through “Judeo-Bolshevik” Russia on the way, while in Bush’s case that meant going through “Islamo-Fascist” Iraq. In Hitler’s case the guiding document was Mein Kampf, while in Bush’s case there were two.
A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm was presented to the Israeli government in 1996 by American neocons Douglas Feith, Richard Perle and David Wurmser, among others. Rebuilding America’s Defenses was presented to the American government in 2000. Its arguments mirrored the Israeli document, and had been drawn up by the neocons as well. In 2001 Feith, Perle and Wurmser became key Bush administration members.
Neither Hitler’s nor Bush’s plans for world dominance could have been pursued without some good luck. Both leaders entered office with over half their nations opposing them, and an avid opposition that wanted to pull them down. Hitler’s good luck came with the Reichstag fire, blamed on Jewish Communists, which mobilized his fatherland to rally behind him. Bush’s good luck happened on 9/11, blamed on Muslim Fundamentalists, which mobilized his homeland to rally behind him.
In both cases, their followers smiled at their good luck, and began their new order of things. Hitler quickly instituted an Enabling Act for the protection of the German people, slated for expiration in five years, which was quietly continued. Bush quickly instituted a Patriot Act for the protection of the American people, slated for expiration in five years, which was quietly continued. Hitler created the Geheime Staatspolizei (Gestapo) to further protect the German people, while Bush created theDepartment of Homeland Security (Homeseca) to do the same for the American people.
“Führer Prinzip” — The Unitary Executive
Both leaders were believers in the authoritarian concept. A few weeks before assuming office, Bush said outright that he thought dictatorship would be a fine form of government, if he could be the dictator. They both believed that power should come from above and obedience should come from below, and they offered protection in exchange for loyalty. Thus no one was surprised when Hermann Goering made a fortune helping to run Germany, just as no one was surprised when Irving “Scooter” Libby received a pardon for his pro-Bush political crimes in America.
Both leaders supplemented their new security police and security acts with concentration camps such as Dachau and Gitmo, initially designed for only a small percentage of national enemies. Both dispensed with international rules and regulations in their treatment of enemies in those installations, and applied a wide variety of innovative persuasive techniques to extract information and obtain confessions. The lessons learned in these proto-type camps proved to be invaluable in later establishments such as Auschwitz and Abu Ghraib.
Both leaders relied on agreeable legislatures. In Germany the Reichstag cheered enthusiastically as it endorsed the increase in police powers, the reduction in civil rights and the national march to world war. In America Congress did the same things, but in more subdued fashion, even with a show of dissent. In Germany, Hitler declared a dictatorship under Article 48, provided by the old Weimar Constitution in the event of a national emergency. In America Bush recently issued National Security Presidential Directive 51 (NSPD 51), thereby legalizing a dictatorship in the event of a national emergency.
“Gott Mit Uns” — God’s on Our Side
Neither Hitler nor Bush could have effected their radical plans without a party full of functionaries and a compliant national media, of course. Hitler relied on his “Nazi” party, an acronym of his National Socialist Party. He had a brilliant individual named Joseph Goebbels to control the Reich Propaganda Ministry and rally the public behind Nazi policies. Bush relied on his “Nozi” party, an anagram of Zion. He had a brilliant cartel of Zionists to control the American Mainstream Media and rally the public behind Nozi policies.
The greatest accomplishment of both the Nazi and Nozi parties was convincing themselves and their citizens that they were not conspirators of any sort, but rather the victims of an international conspiracy. The Nazi party said that Judeo-Communism was the hidden enemy, against which all the powers of a determined fatherland had to be directed, and that they were the targets of anti-German propaganda. The Nozi party says that Islamo-Fascism is the hidden enemy, against which all the powers of a determined homeland have to be directed, and that they are the targets of anti-Semitic propaganda.
The rest of the world didn’t buy the pro-war propaganda from Germany’s Nazis three generations ago, and they don’t buy it from America’s Nozis three generations later. The way the rest of the world sees it, what we have been taught to call the axis of evil is not so dangerous to the world as the axis of America and Israel. They see American naval forces massing in the name of national defense against Iran, and they remember Iraq. They see Israeli air forces attacking Syria, and they remember Lebanon. The rest of the world knows who we have become, even if we don’t.
Saint Peter’s Epilogue
Dr. Peter W. Guenther died on his 85th birthday, March 30, 2005, followed six months later by his wife of 58 years, Andrea. They were my Baucis and Philemon, the most elegant couple I ever knew — particularly when I visited them, with my apish martial artist hands and heavy East Texas twang.
I can fairly call him my comrade, since the writing I continued to push and publish carried us far over the line of journalism and into intelligence, and had both of us ducking for cover in mid-July, 2003. The same can be said of my other WWII advisor, Mr. Joseph Coleman, an Army veteran who had served in the Pacific. Thanks to their alarmed admonitions, I went underground on July 17, 2003 — half a day before Bush and Blair started a five-day series of assassinations beginning with Dr. David Kelly in England.
Dr. G and Mr. C saved my life, and those of us who were involved knew it; those who lacked the brains or guts to be involved say that it couldn’t have happened. It’s the same story with all wars, my mentors taught and my experience confirms. The loudest growls inevitably come from from the mouths of paper tigers. For the best account of what it was really happened, see the article by Iconoclast publisher W. Leon Smith. For a sample of our correspondence before things became deadly, see my Rebel Redux.

Israel prime culprit in 9/11 attacks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ax3en71MbQ
The latest US allegation against Iran accusing the country of being involved in the 9/11 incident is utterly “preposterous,” as numerous independent probes have established Israel's key role in the deadly attacks, a political analyst tells Press TV.
James Fetzer, founder of Scholars for the 9/11 Truth, questioned the legality of a Thursday ruling by a US federal judge in Manhattan, alleging Iran's involvement in the terrorist attacks. He described the judicial ruling as “quite preposterous on its face.”
In an extraordinary move, the court also withdrew Saudi Arabia from the ten-year-old case, even though 15 of the 19 September 11 attackers were Saudi nationals.
Fetzer pointed to multiple investigations on the 9/11 incident by independent journalists, including Alan Subrosky, Christopher Bolyn, Wayne Madsen as well as other websites exclusively devoted to probe into the issue, insisting all those researches have revealed that “Israel, the MOSSAD, have played a key role on 9/11.”
The political analyst also made reference to the proposal by Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his address to the UN General Assembly, calling for an independent international probe into the 9/11 incident.
In his September 22 speech, Ahmadinejad said the US government has been involved in the 9/11 attacks or has allowed them to happen to find an excuse to wage wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Fetzer referred to Washington's massive media campaign to put the blame of 9/11 on al-Qaeda in the wake of Ahmadinejad's proposal, and questioned, “So who was it - Iran or al-Qaeda?”
On September 11, 2001, a series of coordinated attacks were carried out in the United States, reportedly leaving nearly 3,000 people dead.
The US government claimed that 19 terrorists, allegedly affiliated with the shadowy, Afghanistan-based al-Qaeda group, had hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners to carry out the attacks.
The official US account of the September 11 events has, however, been widely challenged by various quarters in the US and worldwide.
The US, under the administration of former President Bush, invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after claiming that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by the members of al-Qaeda harbored by the then Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
The US also attacked Iraq in 2003, insisting that the oil-rich country was in possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
