"Danish embassies have been burned in Syria, Lebanon, and Iran.
There are indications that some of these violent riots were not spontaneous,
but were the work of mercenary rent-a-mobs stoked and steered by CIA, MI-6 and
Mossad." The NATO intelligence provocation appearing in the guise of the scurrilous
Mohammed cartoons published by the reactionary newspaper Jyllands Posten of
Denmark, and then by a series of other European publications, has already done
much to mobilize the armies, bases, and treasuries of Europe in support of the
lunatic plan to the Bush-neocon clique for a nuclear sneak attack and punitive
expedition against Iran over the coming weeks or months. As I warned in a red alert for synthetic terrorism issued on total411.info
and other
sites in the late afternoon of Feb. 3, this entire affair has been cynically
orchestrated by NATO intelligence agencies to set the stage for a new world
war. In recent years, Moslem and Arab resentment for the various crimes of imperialism
has been directed primarily against the United States, the United Kingdom, and
Israel. What is new about the present crisis is that Denmark, Norway, France, and Germany
are the main targets this time, while the usual suspects in London and Washington
can remain in the background and hypocritically condemn the inflammatory cartoons. The result has been a massive degeneration of the ideological climate of Europe
in favor of militant racism in the form of the Samuel Huntington War of Civilizations.
The Europeans are now far more likely than previously to go to war against
Iran as the tail on the Anglo-American kite. The genocidal demand that the European Union cut off all aid to the Hamas-led
government of Palestine has become far more likely to succeed. BILDERGERGERS AND NEOCONS The evidence strongly suggests that the cartoon provocation was presented to
Atlanticist oligarchs at the meeting of the Bilderberger group held from May
5 to May 8, 2005 at the Dorint Sofitel Seehotel Überfahrt in Rottach-Egern,
on the shores of the Tegernsee lake in the south German federal state of Bavaria.
(See http://www.bilderberg.org/2006.htm#Fountainhead
for a partial attendance list) The first publication of the cartoons in Denmark followed in September 2005.
This meeting was attended by the certified neocon fascist madmen Michael Ledeen,
Richard Perle, and William Luti all desperadoes haunted by the prospect of criminal
indictment for their roles in the Iraq aggression, the Plame case, the Niger
yellowcake forgeries, and the Lord Conrad Black embezzlement case. All three are fanatic proponents of the wider war against Iran, also in the
hope of staying out of jail. Others in attendance included Dutch, Belgian, and
Spanish royalty, top Eurocrats and NATO bigwigs (including NATO Secretary General
Jaap Hoop de Scheffer himself) from Brussels, Rockefeller and Rothschild international
bankers, and such all-purpose villains as Henry Kissinger. Another prominent participant in the Bavarian Bilderberger group was Anders
Eldrep of Denmark, a Bilderberger regular over the last five years. This Anders
Eldrep (or Eldrup),the chairman of DONG (Danish Oil and Natural Gas), is the
husband of Merete Eldrep, the managing director of JP/Politikens Hus (JP for
Jyllands-Posten), the Danish publishing firm which owns the newspaper which
first published the Mohammed cartoons. The Bilderberger group, founded after World War II by Britain's genocidal Prince
Philip and the Nazi SS Prince Bernard of the Netherlands, represents one of
the key nodal points where the international finance oligarchs meet under US-UK
leadership to ratify consensus on larger strategic initiatives. It was for example the Bilderberger meeting held near Stockholm in Saltsjøbaden,
Sweden in the spring of 1973 which secured the final consensus for the Royal
Dutch Shell plans for the October 1973 Middle East War and the attendant "Arab"
oil boycott, which looted Japan and Europe and imposed global austerity to stabilize
the US dollar and the Atlanticist banking system. That financiers' staged oil boycott was the 1973 version of today's "peak
oil" hoax. SOMETHING ROTTEN: POLITIETS EFTERRETNINGSTJENESTE As for the repeated canard about freedom of the press, all the countries of
the Nordic Council have long maintained press control through psychological
warfare boards with the power to suppress and plant news stories for propaganda
purposes. Sweden is the best-known example, but Denmark, a NATO member state, is no slouch
either. Having directed political organizing in Denmark for a number of years,
the present writer can also personally attest to the pervasive surveillance
of publishing, political meetings, and public speech (as of the mid-1980s) maintained
by the PET (Politiets Efterretningstjeneste), the Danish Security Intelligence
Service. The PET is a sinister and stealthy organization staffed by devotees of the
Danish monarchy, and its mandate is unchecked. (See http://www.pet.dk/English.aspx
for a chilling self-presentation, including the ominous news that "the
new Danish legislation on terrorism expands the scope of the Intelligence Service
so that PET's investigations, to a higher degree than previously, may provide
the basis of actual criminal cases or other more offensive initiatives."
Author's emphasis, WGT.) Denmark, in short, is a monarchist police state. Denmark has been largely a British puppet state over the last two centuries
since Lord Nelson burned the Danish fleet in a sneak attack on Copenhagen
which put an end to Denmark as an independent power. For the broadest political
purposes, provocations coming from Denmark can be thought of as being signed
by the warmonger Tony Blair personally. The current Danish neocon regime is in any case a member of Bush's coalition
of the willing engaged in the illegal occupation of Iraq. The editor of Jyllands Posten who ordered the publication of the cartoons is
Flemming Rose, who has extensive connections to Daniel Pipes, another neocon
fascist madman who runs Campus Watch, a neo-McCarthyite witch-hunting organization
which vilifies American professors who criticize Israel or show sympathy for
the Palestinians. President Bush wanted to name Daniel Pipes to the board of the US Institute
of Peace, a government-funded arm of the State Department which organizes conferences
and publishes books. When the raving extremist Pipes turned out to be too widely discredited to
obtain Senate confirmation for this post, Bush forced his nomination through
with a summer 2003 recess appointment to a temporary term at USIP without Senate
approval. Daniel Pipes is the nepotist son of Richard Pipes, a Sovietologist who was
a leading figure in George H.W. Bush's 1976 Team B, the incubator of today's
neocon clique. At the time of his recess appointment, Daniel Pipes was accused by the very
moderate Arab-American Institute of "hatred and bigotry" in the context
of his "bizarre obsession with all things Arab and Muslim." (http://www.aaiusa.org/pr/release08-14-03.htm)
This is the sick, racist point of view embraced by Jyllands Posten. Flemming Rose provided details of his conversation with Daniel Pipes in a later
article. They talked about the need to mobilize Europe for the war of civilizations
against the Moslem world. Rose wrote: "Pipes is surprised that there isn't greater alarm in Europe
over the challenge that Islam represents thanks to falling rates of fertility
and a weakened sense for its own history and culture." (Flemming Rose,
"The Threat from Islamism, Jyllands-Posten, October 29, 2004) The relation
of such racist arguments to the Mohammed cartoons provocation should be clear
enough. GENERAL WAR IN SIGHT With these facts, a strong prima facie case for preconcert in the cartoon affair
emerges. The convergence of the US-UK nuclear lynch mob's dragging Iran before
the United Nations Security Council in a parody of the spring 2003 US-UK proceedings
against Iraq, plus the cartoons affair, means that a new general war, perhaps
more like the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) than futuristic scenarios of World
War III, is now in sight. EURO-TRAITORS ON THE MARCH The impact of the cartoon affair has been to re-invigorate the already considerable
racist and xenophobic forces of European society, making these tendencies more
respectable in parts of the mainstream. For the moment, xenophobic reactionaries Euro-traitors in every sense
are in power in France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, and
other countries of the old continent. None of these governments would dare resist Rice and Straw in a war vote at
the UN. Of course, if these regimes decide to play Mussolini to Bush's Hitler and actually
send their troops to join the Anglo-Americans in war with Iran, most of them
would fall, but that would come too late to avoid the looming general conflagration. The alleged free speech defended by ranting Atlanticist hypocrites (including
Cheney) thus amounts to the opposite: the defense of a society incessantly manipulated
by out-of-control secret intelligence agencies with the help of the controlled
corporate media a martial law society on the road to the endless war desired
by the invisible government and the neocons. PRECONCERT ON BOTH SIDES Danish embassies have been burned in Syria, Lebanon, and Iran. There are indications that some of these violent riots were not spontaneous,
but were the work of mercenary rent-a-mobs stoked and steered by CIA, MI-6 and
Mossad. In Beirut, UN officials told CNN they knew about the riot before it happened.
But the embassy attacks, plus world-wide threats, protests, and economic boycotts,
have gone far to convince European public opinion that the war of civilizations
between the west and the Moslem world is indeed inevitable. In 2003, Germany, France, Belgium, and other European nations rejected the
Bush-Blair plan for an illegal aggressive war against Iran. Since, then, Atlanticist
(US-UK) intelligence networks have been working to overthrow or subvert the
leading European governments. In Germany, Chancellor Schroeder has been replaced by Mrs. Merkel, a puppet
of Wall St. and the City of London. In France, the Chirac presidency, weakened by its own foolish support of last
year's European constitution, has been wholly subverted by last fall's "Moslem"
riots, which were led by old Nazi networks sheep-dipped in Islam under the guidance
of Atlanticist intelligence agencies. The beneficiary has been the Anglo-Saxon
Trojan horse, Sarkozy. Chirac has even issued his own nuclear threats against Iran. The days are long
gone when Chirac could reject the war of civilizations and be cheered for it
by Algerian students, as he was in the spring of 2003. The one valuable lesson
most Europeans had learned from the twentieth century the utter and suicidal
futility of war has been called into question by the cartoons affair. IF A TERRORIST ATTACK OCCURS, BLAME CHENEY Since last July, the world has known of the order from Dick Cheney to the Pentagon
to prepare for the atomic bombing of Iran in the wake of a new 9/11 terrorist
atrocity. Given Cheney's manifest aggressive intent, it should also be plain that he
is not occupying his time doing rain dances in the hopes of conjuring up a new
terrorist attack. Cheney and his invisible government backers in the US-UK rogue network are
actively preparing a new 9/11 or Gulf of Tonkin provocation with weapons of
mass destruction in order to secure the pretext for their attack. Our advice to the world is accordingly: if mysterious WMD incidents occur anywhere
in the world, don't start looking for the swarthy perpetrators sporting turbans
in the caves of Pushtunistan. Look instead in Dick Cheney's office. THE REAL CASUS BELLI: THE IRAN OIL BOURSE Much of the real urgency of the Anglo-American attack on Iran comes not from
nonexistent nuclear devices, but from the planned March 20 opening of the Iran
oil bourse, the first international exchange since 1945 where buyers and sellers
of oil can conduct their oil transactions using a currency other than the US
dollar in this case, the euro. The Iran oil bourse threatens the number
one pillar of US-UK world domination the global hegemony of the dollar,
as anchored in the dollar's central role in oil and other raw materials transactions.
With the Iranian oil bourse, as much as $1 trillion of central bank reserves
may flee the US greenback into the euro, the yen, and other currencies. The concomitant exodus of hot money from Wall Street would then puncture the
US stock bubble, the US housing bubble, and the US bubble economy generally,
leading to a collapse of the dollar in international exchange and the dumping
of hundreds of billions of dollars in US treasury bonds now in the hands of
the Chinese and Japanese. The transition from today's outmoded and obsolete dollar-based system to a
dollar-euro-yen system of fixed parities, gold settlement, and high-technology
exports to the developing sector could be easily handled by peaceful negotiations,
but this is exactly what the neocons are determined to prevent. Ironically, the neocon obsession for general war to preserve dollar dominance,
by almost guaranteeing the closure of the straits of Hormuz, will lead to an
even more catastrophic dollar collapse and world depression than the peaceful
Iranian oil bourse ever could. The neocons, in other words, are playing a losing
hand. Only fools would join them. BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH When might the new hostilities begin? General Sharon, before he was incapacitated,
had told the Israeli Defense Force to be ready to strike Iran in March. The former US Iraq weapons inspector Scott Ritter says that the attack order
has already been given. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the maverick Russian politician,
thinks that the most likely date is March 28, coincident with the Israeli elections.
Zhirinovsky has longed served as an auxiliary to Russian President Putin, and
his estimate may benefit from the insights of the Russian special services.
Whenever the attack comes, it is clear that the NATO logistics and manpower
infrastructure the German railways, the French air force and navy, the
Italian ports and air bases will play a vital role. Without these, the
US could hardly operate in the Middle East at all. Today, the US neocons may
be offering occupation rights in various secondary target countries, like Syria,
to tempt countries like France or Italy into joining the war. When Hitler attacked the USSR in June 1941, he was joined by troops from Italy,
Romania, Hungary, Finland, Spain, and other European states. These auxiliaries
had received promises of their own, but they fared poorly. The parallel is suggestive
for the path some Europeans wish to tread today. RATTLING THE CAGES OF OFFICIAL WASHINGTON Last Wednesday, a Home Depot in the Washington DC suburb of Gaithersburg, Maryland
was evacuated because of suspicious package emitting a strange smell, which
turned out to be a harmless videotape recorder. Last Friday, the Rachel Carson Elementary School in the same community, which
is part of the region where many federal officials and bureaucrats live and
have their families, was evacuated because of another suspicious package which
a local official claimed looked like an Improvised Explosive Device or Iraq-style
roadside bomb. It was "something like you might see in a war zone,"
said the spokesman of the Gaithersburg fire department said to the radio and
television that afternoon. The school is typically attended by the children of federal employees. But
the "IED" also turned out to be a big nothing. Early this evening,
the Russell Senate Office Building was evacuated because of a nerve gas alert
that also proved to be groundless, a complete false alarm. But a dozen senators
had to flee. This escalating pattern of incidents likely to provoke hysteria among US government
officials betrays the intent of the invisible government to overload the circuits
and facilitate the stampeding of this government into a wider war full of incalculable
danger. MOSLEMS: DO NOT ACCEPT PROVOCATIONS Our advice to the Moslem world: DO NOT FALL FOR PROVOCATIONS. From Count Thurn's 1618 defenestration of Prague to Bismarck's Ems telegram
in 1870, big wars have often grown out of staged provocations. For years former Prime Minister Dr. Mahatir Mohammed of Malaysia, an astute
Moslem observer who knows how the Atlanticists operate, has been telling his
co-religionists that the greatest vulnerability of the oppressors is located
in the weakness of the US dollar. Mahatir's argument has long been that it is
time to stop complaining and dump the dollar. The fall of the dollar will entail the fall of the International Monetary Fund
and of Wolfowitz's World Bank, the greatest engines of global oppression. Those
who burn the embassies of European countries or attack their citizens risk becoming
dupes serving as recruiting sergeants for the NATO armies and air forces that
are about to strike Iran, currently the leading Moslem state, plus Syria and
others. It is time to break ideological profile, and respond unpredictably on the international
monetary front, where the chances for success are the greatest. REFUTE THE BLOOD LIBEL OF 9/11 In terms of the battle of ideas, the other great task for the Moslem world
and for persons of good will everywhere is to contribute to the utmost to the
dismantling and discrediting of the ultimate blood libel against Islam, the
fantastic Atlanticist myth surrounding the events of September 11, 2001. The international 9/11 truth movement has shown how rogue networks inside the
Pentagon and CIA organized those events. Since the basis of every attack on
Islam is 9/11, it is incumbent on Moslems to join in refuting the myth. This will have the additional effect of eroding Bush's fanatical political
base, and preparing his fall. WORLD PEACE In my address to the Inter-Religious Conference in Khartoum, Sudan in October
1994, I pleaded for a platform of ecumenical and irenic cooperation among the
world's great faiths based in the comprehensive scientific, technological, and
economic development of all nations. This is the call of Christianity, with
its imperative of charity (agape) and faith expressed through good works, as
in the second great commandment: love your neighbor. This is the call of the doctrine of social solidarity in Islam. This is the
call of Confucian benevolence and the related need for rulers to promote prosperity
and education. These are the ideas reflected in similar impulses prominent in Buddhism, Judaism,
and other faiths. These are ideas readily accessible to persons of good will
whose outlook is purely secular, whatever their political persuasion. Humanity must act now to neutralize war provocations, and thus to prevent the
horrors of war itself. _______________ Read from Looking Glass News Call For A Red Synthetic Terror Alert |
