High-Level American Officials Admit that the United States Uses False Flag Terror ... And Warn of Future Attacks
Preface: U.S. President James Madison said:
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
Everyone knows that "truth is the first casualty of war". And one of the most highly decorated American soldiers of all time said that "war is a racket".
FBI
agents and CIA intelligence officials, constitutional law expert
professor Jonathan Turley, Time Magazine, Keith Olbermann and the
Washington Post have all said
that U.S. government officials "were trying to create an atmosphere of
fear in which the American people would give them more power". Indeed, the former Secretary of Homeland Security - Tom Ridge - admits that he was pressured to raise terror alerts to help Bush win reelection.
A former National Security Adviser told the Senate that the war on terror is "a mythical historical narrative". In terms of a possible "why", remember that psychologists and sociologists have demonstrated that fear of terrorism makes people stupid and easy to manipulate and control.
As I noted last year:
War is always sold to it's people by artificially demonizing the enemy:
Countries need to lie about their enemies in order to demonize them sufficiently so that the people will support the war.
That is why intelligence "failures" - such as the following - are so common:
- The
U.S. Navy's own historians now say that the sinking of the USS Maine
-- the justification for America's entry into the Spanish-American
War -- was probably caused by an internal explosion of coal, rather than an attack by the Spanish.
- It is also now well-accepted that the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which led to the Vietnam war was a fiction (confirmed here).
- And two lies were used to justify the 1991 Gulf War: the statement that Iraqis murdered Kuwaiti babies and the statement that a quarter of a million Iraqi troops were massed on the border with Saudi Arabia (see also this article)(technically, the statement about Kuwaiti babies did not come from the U.S. government, but from a public relations firm hired by the government).
Indeed, in a newly-released documentary, U.S. soldiers admit that if they accidentally kill innocent Iraqis and Afghanis, they then "drop" automatic weapons near their body so they can pretend they were militants:
As I noted last year:
On Monday, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Hugh Shelton told told Jon Stewart that a Clinton cabinet member proposed letting Saddam kill an American pilot as a pretext for war in Iraq:
(And see this; and this excerpt from General Shelton's book).
This might seem, at first glance, like just an odd, one-off suggestion.
However,
as reported by the New York Times and other newspapers, George W. Bush
also suggested to Tony Blair that a U.S. plane be painted in United
Nations colors so that - if Saddam shot it down - it would create a casus belli. As the Times wrote in 2006:
The
memo [confirmed by two senior British officials as being authentic]
also shows that the president and the prime minister acknowledged that
no unconventional weapons had been found inside Iraq. Faced with the
possibility of not finding any before the planned invasion, Mr. Bush
talked about several ways to provoke a confrontation, including a
proposal to paint a United States surveillance plane in the colors of
the United Nations in hopes of drawing fire ....
Indeed, the former director of the National Security Agency said:
By any measure
the US has long used terrorism. In ‘78-79 the Senate was trying to
pass a law against international terrorism - in every version they
produced, the lawyers said the US would be in violation.
(audio here
).
Former FBI station chief Ted Gundersen also says most terror attacks are committed by our CIA and FBI:
Specific Historical Examples
Specific Historical Examples
The CIA admits
that it hired Iranians in the 1950's to pose as Communists and stage
bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its
democratically-elected prime minister.
The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO,
with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in
Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the
communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in
Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: "You
had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people,
unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite
simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public,
to turn to the state to ask for greater security" (and see this)(Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred).
As admitted by
the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in the
1960's, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with
the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News
Tonight with Peter Jennings. Official State Department documents show
that - only nine months before - the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and other high-level officials discussed
blowing up a consulate in the Dominican Republic in order to justify
an invasion of that country. Neither plan was carried out, but they
were both discussed as serious proposals.
Nine months
earlier, a false flag attack was apparently discussed in order to
justify an invasion of the Dominican Republic. Specifically, according
to official State Department records, Under Secretary of State Chester
Bowles wrote on June 3, 1961:
The
Vice President [Lyndon Johnson], [Attorney General] Bob Kennedy,
Secretary [of Defense Robert] McNamara, Dick Goodwin [who was Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs], [head of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff] General Lemnitzer, Wyn Coerr, and Ted Achilles
were here. Bob McNamara and Lemnitzer stated that under the terms of
the contingency paper, they were required to be prepared to move into
the island on short order if required to do so, and this, in their
opinion, called for substantially more troops that we had in the area.
After some discussion we considered two more aircraft carriers, some
destroyers, and 12,000 marines should be moved into a position some one
hundred miles off the Dominican Republic shore...The tone of the meeting was deeply disturbing. Bob
Kennedy was clearly looking for an excuse to move in on the island. At
one point he suggested, apparently seriously, that we might have to
blow up the Consulate to provide the rationale.His
general approach, vigorously supported by Dick Goodwin, was that this
was a bad government, that there was a strong chance that it might team
up with Castro, and that it should be destroyed--with an excuse if possible, without one if necessary.Rather to my surprise, Bob McNamara seemed to support this view ...
The
entire spirit of this meeting was profoundly distressing and
worrisome, and I left at 8:00 p.m. with a feeling that this spirit
which I had seen demonstrated on this occasion and others at the White
House by those so close to the President constitutes a further danger
of half-cocked action by people with almost no foreign policy
experience, who are interested in action for action's sake, and the
devil take the highmost ...[At a subsequent meeting], Bob
McNamara went along with their general view that our problem was not to
prepare against an overt act by the Dominican Republic but rather to find an excuse for going into the country and upsetting it.
When
Congress was originally asked to pass the Patriot Act in late 2001,
the anthrax attacks which occurred only weeks earlier were falsely
blamed on spooky Arabs as a way to scare Congress members into approving
the bill. Specifically:
- The FBI was actually told to blame Anthrax scare on Al Qaeda by White House officials
- High-level government insiders pointed towards Iraq as the source of the anthrax, even though there was absolutely no reason to think that the anthrax had come from Iraq
Indeed, many people have questioned whether or not the anthrax was intentionally sent to scare people. For example:
- The anthrax letters attempt to link 9/11 and the anthrax attack and pretend to be from radical Muslims and be anti-America and anti-Israel
- Would Arab terrorists have targeted only Congress men who were likely to oppose the Patriot Act
and other tyrannical measures? Would they have gotten that specific
in their targeting? In order to terrorize America as a whole,
wouldn't real Arab terrorists have sent anthrax to the Congressional
leaders of both parties, regardless of their political postures
towards particular legislation? Shouldn't it have been obvious to
the FBI that the killer was pro-tyranny, rather than being simply
Anti-American? The "war on terror" and Iraq war were largely based on the claim that Saddam and Muslim extremists were behind the anthrax attacks (and see this and this)
- Senator Patrick Leahy said:
And
I think there are people within our government -- certainly from the
source of it -- who know where it came from. [Taps the table to let
that settle in] And these people may not have had anything to do with
it, but they certainly know where it came from.
- The FBI gave its consent in October, 2001 for the remaining samples of the Ames anthrax strain to be destroyed,
thereby permanently destroying crucial "genetic clues valuable to
the criminal inquiry". Why would the FBI allow the Ames samples to
be destroyed, other than to prevent fingers from being pointed
toward the real killer, someone who worked for the U.S. government
and had access to U.S. bioweapons?
- The American
bioweapons expert who actually drafted the current bioweapons law (the
Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989), who holds a doctorate
of law magna cum laude and a Ph.D. in political science, both from
Harvard University, and teaches international law at the University of
Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, served on
the Board of Directors of Amnesty International (1988-92) and represented Bosnia-Herzegovina at the World Court, and who "advised the FBI in its initial investigation of the anthrax letters", is convinced
that the anthrax attacks that killed five people were perpetrated and
covered up by criminal elements of the U.S. government. The motive: to
foment a police state by killing off and intimidating opposition to
post-9/11 legislation such as the Patriot Act and the later Military
Commissions Act. He has said:
Senators Tom Daschle and
Patrick Leahy were holding it up because they realized what this would
lead to. The first draft of the PATRIOT Act would have suspended the
writ of habeas corpus [which protects citizens from unlawful
imprisonment and guarantees due process of law]. Then all of a sudden,
out of nowhere, come these anthrax attacks.
Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo suggested
in 2005 that the US should go on the offensive against al-Qaeda,
having “our intelligence agencies create a false terrorist
organization. It could have its own websites, recruitment centers,
training camps, and fundraising operations. It could launch fake
terrorist operations and claim credit for real terrorist strikes,
helping to sow confusion within al-Qaeda’s ranks, causing operatives to
doubt others’ identities and to question the validity of
communications.”
As Chris Floyd and many others have noted, this plan has gone live.
United Press International reported in June 2005:
U.S.
intelligence officers are reporting that some of the insurgents in
Iraq are using recent-model Beretta 92 pistols, but the pistols seem to
have had their serial numbers erased. The numbers do not appear to
have been physically removed; the pistols seem to have come off a
production line without any serial numbers. Analysts suggest the lack
of serial numbers indicates that the weapons were intended for
intelligence operations or terrorist cells with substantial government
backing. Analysts speculate that these guns are probably from either
Mossad or the CIA. Analysts speculate
that agent provocateurs may be using the untraceable weapons even as
U.S. authorities use insurgent attacks against civilians as evidence of
the illegitimacy of the resistance.
There is substantial additional evidence of hanky panky in Iraq.
We're not alone. Countries around the world have played this terrible game for thousands of years.
If We Don't Learn Our History, We're Doomed to Repeat It
Indeed, many former high-level officials are warning that it could happen again:
- A former National Security Adviser told the Senate that a terrorist act might be carried out in the U.S. and falsely blamed on Iran to justify war against that nation.
- A
retired 27-year CIA analyst who prepared and presented Presidential
Daily Briefs and served as a high-level analyst for several presidents
stated that if there was another major attack in the U.S., it would lead to martial law. He went on to say:
- Daniel Ellsberg, the famous Pentagon Papers whistleblower, said "if there is another terror attack, "I believe the president will get what he wants", which will include a dictatorship
- Scott
Ritter, the former UN Weapons Inspector (an American) - who stated
before the Iraq war started that there were no weapons of mass
destruction - is now saying that he would not rule out staged government terror by the U.S. government
- And a member of the British Parliament stated that "there
is a very real danger" that the American government will stage a false
flag terror attack in order to justify war against Iran and to gain
complete control domestically
Postscript:
Most serving in our military are good and honorable people who want to
protect America and her people. It is only rogue elements within
civilian and military circles who carry out false flag attacks.

Thanks GW - we sometimes see pieces here and there but for a lot of people, the puzzle is just scattered pieces. You've got some cajones; I see you take a lot of shit from detractors, for reasons I haven't been able to comprehend. It's the shit heads that just junk but offer no other feasible or reasonable opposing position. So keep it up; I like your posts and you're one of the reasons I keep coming back to ZH every day, including weekends.
Also, in conjunction with this (if you haven't already done it), more info on the tie-in of CIA drug running/smuggling would strengthen the whole story.
I hope one day a book will be written that ties all this shit together; wars, Fed Reserve, CIA, false flags, Economic Hit Men, etc - it's taken so many books and so much time to stitch this all together.
The last journalist who did serious reporting on the CIA coke running into Arkansas and guns to Nicaragua committed suicide. Two shots to the head. No shit.
... The Report From Iron Mountain was written in 67 my friend ...and Morals and Dogma long before that ...and Daniel long before that.

This brings me back to London in August of 01, I was telling a few of the locals that the World Trade Center was coming down so a force could be placed in position for a weapon of mass destruction event after that, in order to establish the prophetic peace with Israel and the nations. Can you imagine? I never did get a chance to speak to any of those people again, that was the first and last time we met. Pretty wild to fly over the WTC on the way back from that European Vacation and tell the person next to me to ''look down, that might be the last time you see those buildings'' and to suggest that airplanes, like the one we were on, could be used to bring down the World Trade Center.
...it gets stranger from there to here. ''Ironic'' huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TA3c1YqCiI
How's this for ironic.
Blow me.
...I hear you man. Takes a real ''Blow me'' jerk freak to fly out to London on vacation and tell the locals some crazy shit like that but, hey, at least I asked them if it was alright if I paid for all the drinks, and they were OK with that. Come on, that's some freaky stuff the Hooligans can always freak people out with.
Man, it's much more strange than that. I ended up running the tape from the Pentagon, back to work, at the national news in D.C., right after it was hit.
...you don't know where I've been Lou. A little turd and you are ''blown'', what a knockout.
That was better than Mucinex!

Thanks to the Internet Reformation state disinformation promoting its fear-based memes is a decreasingly effective - and increasingly transparent - sweat act.
To go further down the rabbit hole, I recommend 'Programmed to Kill'.

1980 Bologna, Italy train station attack...abt 100 killed.
The public response was a study in effectiveness and effeciency by citizens knowing instinctively what to do [commandeer busses to get injured to hospitals, etc].
Bologna's mayor later received requests from other cities/countries for copy of their remarkable Emergency Plan.
There was no plan!
thank you , george. even if the balloon went up in several u.s. cities, the trolls will still be in denial.
nice work GW.
The ultimate way to divide and conquer is through fear of authority, fear of free speech and fear of each other.
As conrad says a lot of know many of these pieces but you put it together so well. Criminal law is the only type we practice
Maybe the trolls are learning dialogue to support QE3
I've noticed a lot less trolling in the last few days. Maybe the http://trololololololololololo.com/ scared them off or maybe their government checks started bouncing...
Thank you verry much Vlad. I had used the 80's to destroy that portion of memory. Now i'm back to impaling my liver with Tsing Tao and Bushmills. I signed up to be an organ donor so I can deny 'em those too.

Maybe the price of gold & silver taking a 'breather' is giving them some 'well-deserved' time off? I look for them to be back in force the minute prices start rising again in earnest...
Perhaps that is why we have 2 carriers already on Irans shores, a 3rd in route and likely a 4th on route shortly. I would assume once they are in "position" then fun will start.
They are now blaming the IMF cyber attack on a country.......hmmm..........maybe iran.........
nakedempire2
What, you didn't think the politicians and bankers were going to let John Q. Public blame the coming depression on them, did you? "The recovery was going along swimmingly until those dang Iranians had to go an start a war with us! That's why you stand in a bread line."
Yep. MENA was *sooo* yesterday. Wait 'til the 2012 U.S. elections start getting revved up. We'll be watching fireworks.
Finally...a captcha question I can do without using all my fingers and toes...
Your posts are contributing to my drinking. My liver begs you to stop.
Don't drink. Fight!
This whole ZH thing is contributing to my (continued) drinking.
If you drink a glass of pomegranate juice for each glass of rye whiskey you're ok!
nothing terribly new but newly terrible by accretion nonetheless. as the mask slips further and further down, more of the citizenry see beyond partisan discord and become aware of and interested in this history. keep up the great work gw.
GW. Thanks for the strength that lets you speak the truth in a storm of lies.
Interesting. So where are the trolls and psyops agents on this tread? It can't be too early because they are usually storming the gates within minutes of a GW post. Maybe there's just a lull in action as they change shifts?
Isn't it interesting that a well articulated argument backed by deeply documented sources is nearly impossible to logically refute. So what's a troll or agent to do? Que the ad hominem attacks against GW and his sources in 5.....4....3.....2....
We know the disinformation process well GW. If your truth speaking has them as spooked as they appear to be all the more reason to keep on keeping on. You have my support.
Cass Sunstein was constipated and slow to rise from the toilet to sound the klaxon for his merry men?
I agree. Zero junks to this point as well. Hmmmmm??
Working hours at Langley are now only 9-5, M-F. The sock puppets will be right back on Monday morning. :)
@GW: Great work! Keep it up (and keep posting them on weekends).
This is a good one from GW right down the straight and narrow. TY GW.
It's a page out of "the fog of war" interview...but more cloak and daggerd...a bit like that book "Kissinger's side war in Cambodia" which for this humble poster was an eye opener at his tender age of that time. As were the Pentagon Papers...As was "Missing" and "Z", by Costas Gavras...on CIA ops world wide. So nothing new, there, on the western front; just more confirmation of the tone and substance of the Frank Church Senate hearings.
Which achieved nothing in reality EXCEPT this OVERT official US policy change : Under recommendations and pressure by this committee, President Gerald Ford issued Executive Order 11905 (ultimately replaced in 1981 by President Reagan's Executive Order 12333) to ban U.S. sanctioned assassinations of foreign leaders.
Ha, ha!... not bad this official-cover up policy...as psyops operation... practiced on THE PEOPLE OF USA AND OF THE WORLD!...Remember RR's bombing attempt on Q-daffy after Lockerbie, in 1988...as follow-up?
A lot of people would agree this is the way to go ...until the shoe changes foot and THEY become collateral victims of state/private terrorism, even in retaliation...like 9/11...
But, ...the eternal mystery remains unsolved :
We still don't know what happened at foggy bottom Dallas on 22 Nov. 1963...That I think will always stay a true American mystery..."the unkindest cut of them all"...
WHO WAS KAISER SOZE THAT DAY IN DALLAS, IN THE OFFICIAL LINE UP OF USUAL SUSPECTS...?
Great stuff! Those who denigrate your statement of the obvious must at least admit that having all this great info in one place is quite an accomplishment. Thanks for putting it all together. Your efforts are appreciated.
Yep.........10 yr long wars are by design........not accident......
i love you george.....god almighty i love you and your work.....keep speaking the truth - it shall set us free
Absolutely fantastic, critical writing Wash. When you connect the dots as such
the truth becomes that much more vivid. I could rack my brain and hardly come up with
another person who so logically and clearly puts it all down .. with excellent
sources to back it all up.
Thanks.
GW, just wanted to say thanks. You get a lot of shit, but your articles are almsot always a good read with lots of source to back up the point. Keep it up.
Could I get the Madison cite as well, since we are all applauding the exhaustive work?

Keep up the good work of the founding fathers.
1947-ongoing:
The CIA, working with U.S.-compliant covert warfare agencies in Western Europe creates Operation Gladio.
After the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is formed in 1949, it takes over responsibility for Gladio. Operatives recruited under Gladio, the so-called Gladiators, are responsible for numerous acts of terrorism throughout Europe for almost half a century, foremost of which is the bombing of the railway station in Bologna, Italy in 1980 in which eighty six people are murdered by the CIA's proxies.
With the help of the tame mass media, the European public is convinced that the CIA-sponsored terrorist acts are being carried out by evil commies and socialists.
The idea is to keep the population perpetually in fear of a mythical Soviet invasion while, at the same time, discrediting leftist electoral candidates. If a left-leaning party were to come to power in any NATO country, it might pass legislation which would be a threat to U.S. military installations or operations and we can't be havin' none of that.
Yup...
And still today, Karl Doucheinnger and Smokey(Jim)Quinn, and many other writers like them, still believe in Santa/ObamaBinLaden and his 19 mystical Elves that performed so much magic on that special morning, almost 10 years ago.
