Is America the World’s Largest Sponsor of Terrorism?
The director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan – Lt. General William Odom - noted:
Because the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using terrorist tactics, the slogans of today’s war on terrorism merely makes the United States look hypocritical to the rest of the world.
Odom also 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).
The Washington Post reported in 2010:
The United States has long been an exporter of terrorism, according to a secret CIA analysis released Wednesday by the Web site WikiLeaks.
The head and special agent in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office said that most terror attacks are committed by our CIA and FBI.
Wikipedia notes:
Chomsky and Herman observed that terror was concentrated in the U.S. sphere of influence in the Third World, and documented terror carried out by U.S. client states in Latin America. They observed that of ten Latin American countries that had death squads, all were U.S. client states.
***
They concluded that the global rise in state terror was a result of U.S. foreign policy.
***
In 1991, a book edited by Alexander L. George [the Graham H. Stuart Professor of Political Science Emeritus at Stanford University] also argued that other Western powers sponsored terror in Third World countries. It concluded that the U.S. and its allies were the main supporters of terrorism throughout the world.
Some in the American military have intentionally tried to “out-terrorize the terrorists”.
As Truthout notes:
Both [specialists Ethan McCord and Josh Stieber] say they saw their mission as a plan to “out-terrorize the terrorists,” in order to make the general populace more afraid of the Americans than they were of insurgent groups.
In the interview with [Scott] Horton, Horton pressed Stieber:
“… a fellow veteran of yours from the same battalion has said that you guys had a standard operating procedure, SOP, that said – and I guess this is a reaction to some EFP attacks on y’all’s Humvees and stuff that killed some guys – that from now on if a roadside bomb goes off, IED goes off, everyone who survives the attack get out and fire in all directions at anybody who happens to be nearby … that this was actually an order from above. Is that correct? Can you, you know, verify that?
Stieber answered:
“Yeah, it was an order that came from Kauzlarich himself, and it had the philosophy that, you know, as Finkel does describe in the book, that we were under pretty constant threat, and what he leaves out is the response to that threat. But the philosophy was that if each time one of these roadside bombs went off where you don’t know who set it … the way we were told to respond was to open fire on anyone in the area, with the philosophy that that would intimidate them, to be proactive in stopping people from making these bombs …”
Terrorism is defined as:
The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
So McCord and Stieber are correct: this constitutes terrorism by American forces in Iraq.
The U.S. has been supporting Al Qaeda and other terrorists in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Libya, Syria and Iran.
(The U.S. has also directly inserted itself into a sectarian war between the two main Islamic sects, backing the Sunnis and attacking the Shiites. See this, this and this. Because Saudi Arabia is the seat of the most radical sect of Islam – Wahhabism- the U.S. unquestioning support of the Saudis is indirectly supporting terrorism.)
Torture – which the U.S. has liberally used during the last 10 years – has long been recognized as a form of terrorism.
Wikipedia notes:
Worldwide, 74% of countries that used torture on an administrative basis were U.S. client states, receiving military and other support to retain power.
Of course, some would say that the American policy of assassination – especially using drone strikes on people whose identity isn’t even known – is a form of terrorism. And see this and this.
Some Specific 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.
Nine months earlier, a false flag attack was 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.
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.

I was showing how much money Democracy Now made off the so-called "truth" movement in 2010. I don't have the figures for some of the libertarian and conservative sites. That's the point....their making lots of money calling themselves alternatives to the lying mainstream....and they do present enough info for unsuspecting people, but they stop people at "the gate" so to speak. Shoudl have read it all before condemning what I said, since I was saying the same thing you are!!
Headless - I hear you. Fraudulent, missing Gate Keepers. I was reacting to this Re. DemocracyNow: YOUR Websites for "truth" have DONE NOTHING. I take exception to calling DemocracyNow a Websites for "truth". It's not my website for truth. "We" are not pouring money into DemocracyNow, people like Soros pour money into DemocracyNow.
As you go on to say, it is Controlled Opposition. Just like nemewn-nuts, below.
You seem a little...tense ;-)
How many AK47's are there in the world vs M16's?
And to quote "Honest Abe"...really?...he was one of the biggest enemies of the Constitution this nation has ever had.
And your point is what exactly?
I think he's trying to say that terrorists don't use M-16's which is generally opposite of the point of the article.
Maybe he's trying not to talk about
Is America the World’s Largest Sponsor of Terrorism?
What, exactly, is the point you are trying to make here?
I thought it was self evident.
No, not really.
I'll be courteous...only because I choose to and you were.
"It is the Germans who are responsible for the fact that I became a fabricator of arms. If not for them, I would have constructed agricultural machines. If someone asks me how I can sleep at night knowing that my arms have killed millions of people, I respond that I have no problem sleeping, my conscience is clean. I constructed arms to defend my country." Mikhail Kalashnikov
Outside of the fact, this is a bold faced lie, AK47 means 1947...that is, after WWII.
He developed it for his ideology, fame, fortune, to be cheap and to carry the red banner.
They are good, sound weapons for "short term work"...as an agrarian communist, revolutionary or terrorist might say.
We can move on to RPG's if you like ;-)
As usual full of banal off topic bs, nmewen strikes again. In many parts of Latin America, the terrorists, death squads even, Guatemala for example carried M-16s. Argentina under the most recent dictatorship "disappeared" people all the time. Argentina carried US supplied, Colt manufactured M-16's.
I had a slightly more farfetched notion in the back of my mind, but it is unimportant.
In any event, the reference to "Germans" is of course meant to be taken in historical context and the lessons learned from that most recent and very costly (in Russian lives especially) war. It is even possible Kalashnikov integrated some German design ideas (hell, who hasn't), but more importantly and given the Soviet penchant for the occasional purge, it was always a good idea to keep things simple from design to production to use in the field. You know, in case it had to be reverse-engineered. Germans elegantly over-engineer, Russians seem to brute-strength their designs into submission. (In Russia, function makes you.) Their "Germans" (as opposed to our "Germans" - von Braun et al) may have, how you say, influenced a little finesse into Russian engineering.
The AK47 was and is wildly successful, by design. I'm still partial to an x51 tho.
I dont belive, it was the Germans who made you build weapons.
Since war goes a litle further back,than The German Empire,so does weapons.
Isnt it the Facts,that everybody build weapons, To Defend Thier contry,so where does this story end?
And isnt it a fact,That Peace,would cost a lot less,and would be a lot more Constructive,in favor for all mankind?
No offense ment, to you in person!
But i know i am right!
No offense taken.
People build weapons to defend themselves against aggression and for aggression.
I'm not a pacifist, if thats what you're asking. Thats why some think I can't be a libertarian. To my way of thinking a pacifist libertarian is a dead one. I'm not going to sit around and intellectualize over why someone is coming at me with a knife...its pretty basic...I'm going to put a hollow point between his eyes.
Thats life.
This is what i like,we disagree,but are civil.
This brings us forward,even that we ,disagree!
P.S I know life,i have been around for sixty years,so far,and plan to stay a lot longer.
Terrorism - and war in general - is bad for the economy ... as such, all free market advocates should try to expose it and shut it down as much as possible.
AK's outnumber M16's by far don't they? ;-)
Agreed...ALL terrorism is bad as its waged on civilians for a political purpose and means to an end...the same cannot be said for war in general.
Is it good or bad that Hitler was defeated BY war?...I would say good...and most rational people would say the same.
I hate Hitler, and:
In addition, note the following (sorry, some links are broken as it is an old essay. I can track down if anyone is curious)...
Intelligence Failures
As shown by this BBC special (which contains interviews with some of the key players), America knew
of the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor -- down to the exact date
of the attack -- and allowed it to happen to justify America's entry
into World War II. The case for foreknowledge is even more definitively
made by this short essay by a highly-praised historian
summarizing some of the key points (the historian, a World War II
veteran, actually agreed with this strategy for getting America into the
war, and so does not have any axe to grind).
Indeed, the White House apparently had, a year before Pearl Harbor, launched an 8-point plan to provoke Japan into war against the U.S.
(including, for example, an oil embargo). The rationale for this
provocation is that the U.S. wanted to aid its allies in fighting the
Nazis and other axis powers, and decided that an attack by Japan would
be the most advantageous justification for the U.S. to enter WWII.
Active Interference with Military's Ability to Defend
It has also recently been discovered that the FDR administration took numerous affirmative steps
to ensure that the Japanese attack would be successful. These steps
included taking extraordinary measures to hide information from the
commanders in Hawaii about the location of Japanese war ships
(information of which they would normally be informed), denying their
requests to allow them to scout for Japanese ships, and other actions to
blind the commanders in Hawaii so that the attacks would succeed. See,
for example, this book (page 186).
Key Military Players Incommunicado
In addition, the heads
of the Army and Navy suddenly diappeared and remained unreachable on
the night before Pearl Harbor. And they would later testify over and
over that they "couldn't remember" where they were (pages 320 and 335).
Gagging Whistleblowers
Two weeks after Pearl Harbor, the
Navy classified all documents TOP SECRET, and the Navy Director of
Communications sent a memo ordering all commanders to "destroy all notes
or anything in writing" related to the attacks. More importantly, all
radio operators and cryptographers were gagged on threat of imprisonment and loss of all benefits. (page 256)
Scapegoating and labels of "conspiracy theory"
The
commanders in Hawaii, General Short and Admiral Kimmel, were
scapegoated as being the cause for the "surprise" attack on Pearl Harbor
(they were recently cleared by Congress).
And, according to a
statement made to me privately by a leading Pearl Harbor scholar, the
government repeatedly denied foreknowledge and labeled anyone who
discussed the military's prior knowledge of the attacks as a nutty
conspiracy theorist.
Media Complicity
Amazingly, the
Army’s Chief of Staff informed the Washington bureau chiefs of the
major newspapers and magazines of the impending attacks BEFORE THEY
OCCURRED, and swore them to an oath of secrecy, which the media honored (page 361); and listen to interview here (I personally spent an hour speaking with the historian making this claim, and find him highly credible.).
In other words, there apparently was a conspiracy between the government and media regarding the impending Pearl Harbor attacks.
George - Great stuff.
nmemwn is some kind of souless disinformation entity who professes to believe that corruption abounds, arm yourself, etc. but on 9/11 the government is telling the truth.
What a sad individual.
Fucking troll...this from someone who can't surround a vowel properly with two consonants...whatever. Yeah, I'm all broke up over your lack of approval for me...this makes me very sad...lol.
Care to defend FDR, Lincoln, Teddy's actions or are you still Johnny-One-Note?
/////////////////////
I thought so...johnny.
Hey nmemwn don't smear me with your bs. Address the issue. Why do you believe we live under a corrupt regieme, but that corruption does not extend to 9/11???
You're the troll. Is someone stupid enough to pay you to be here? What else are you doing here except trying to deflect clarity away from 9/11?
All 911...all the time, right johnny?...what a sad little man.
I have said countless times, the only coverup I can find involving 911 is governments incompetence in allowing known terrorists into the country on student visa's in the first place, then not expelling them when the visas ran out.
So the bottom line, as in most things large and cumbersome, a massive government bureacracy creates a situation, where killers are allowed in and knee jerks a Patriot Act in response, which is even worse than 911 itself. Then they smile at each other, slap each other on the back for a job well done and go home.
Its akin to idiots ranting & raving about Sikh Temple and movie theater killings while ignoring Camden NJ or Chicago or wherever where hardly anyone can legally carry a gun...yet people are killed there everyday, 24/7/365 not just randomly.
The corruption is promoted by absolute morons...everytime someone says "there ought to be a law" the very thing that everyone can see is too large all ready...grows even larger.
Now where did you say I draw my paycheck?
No one believes you.
lol...as if I care.
So, another one of the presidents you quote above, with such reverence I might add, was involved in a conspiracy?...meaning FDR.
I despise FDR almost as much as "Honest Abe" but I really doubt there was a "conspiracy"...covering up incompetence after the fact...sure.
But everyone on the planet knew war was coming to us...war would have come if we met the Japanese 500 miles out at sea and not "let" Pearl Harbor get bombed.
Is the entire history of the US, nay, the world, based on conspiracy theories with you? It sure seems like it with me anyways.
But I have to ask you this...what was the point of this...

///////////////////////////////////
Here is some demagoguery George...from FDR...
"But they are guilty of more than deceit. >>>When they imply that the reserves thus created against both these policies will be stolen by some future Congress, diverted to some wholly foreign purpose, they attack the integrity and honor of American Government itself.<<< Those who suggest that, are already aliens to the spirit of American democracy. Let them emigrate and try their lot under some foreign flag in which they have more confidence.
The fraudulent nature of this attempt is well shown by the record of votes on the passage of the Social Security Act. In addition to an overwhelming majority of Democrats in both Houses, seventy-seven Republican Representatives voted for it and only eighteen against it and fifteen Republican Senators voted for it and only five against it. Where does this last-minute drive of the Republican leadership leave these Republican Representatives and Senators who helped enact this law?"
http://millercenter.org/president/speeches/detail/3307
As you no doubt know by now...Social Security is broke...FDR's speech got rave reviews and rousing applause. The ones who said...NO!!!...DON'T TRUST THEM WITH YOUR LABOR!!!...were correct afterall.
History bitchez.
/////////////////////////////////
Because I hate socialism in all its blood draining varying forms...an addendum to the above...
WASHINGTON (AP) -- People retiring today are part of the first generation of workers who have paid more in Social Security taxes during their careers than they will receive in benefits after they retire. It's a historic shift that will only get worse for future retirees, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.
Previous generations got a much better bargain, mainly because payroll taxes were very low when Social Security was enacted in the 1930s and remained so for decades."

To which I say, fuck you FDR, you simple minded, demagoging, socialist prick. If I ever find myself over your grave I'll piss on it in a stream that spells out NMEWN.

Answer the question George...why did you post that if you don't want bloodshed.
You don't get to have it both ways anymore.

I'm serious George...you (and yours) don't get to have it both ways anymore.
I've stood by and watched your double speaking bullshit long enough...you either incite riot, revolution, bloodshed and war as an answer...or not.
No more free OWS passes, no more both ways dude.
GW--a greenie on ya. However, WWII was/is credited for getting the US out of the "Great Depression". Gotta' think about that.

Who will lead in November? The liar and man who would take away rights and freedoms or his opposition who would probably do the same? The country has been split for years, misinformation floods both sides and meanwhile the stuff that the SS and Gestapo did during the Nazi era is apparently being justified and promoted in the spook halls of America.
Maybe we should ask Raul Castro to close Gitmo? Someone has to stop the lawlessness of the lawmakers.
now that is funny.
Good Morning to all,
Here folks is the very real possibility of something that may be responsible for all the chaos and distractionary horizontal concerns we see being reported on by everyone in the news business, both fake lame stream media propaganda, and the real truth news on the net. The sheep is so deep, one needs hip-boots to wade through it all.
If this developing report is true, it would change everything rapidly and what is a high priority today, will be of no concern in the future. You can listen to the John Moore show every morning on RBN:

An amazing song from a band who wrote a WW2 themed album. I believe this is sung from the perspective of those who pledged to do Hitler's bidding. People will go a long way to the dark side, friends.

Thankfully, the cold war era CIA were so hopelessly inept that the few stumble-bum attempts that actually succeeded were more so in spite of their aims than because of them.
The biggest casualty was taxpayer funds.
One notable exception was tapping East German phones via a tunnel. That worked.
Half of the Iron Curtain countries GDP was from selling phoney 'intel' to CIA and State Dept. rubes.
The ubiquitous CIA 'eyes everywhere' was a myth actively sold to America by the CIA themselves. The real story is more like Keystone Kops in Ivy League drag.
We ain't even going to get into Staring at Goats either. As an American, I am not exactly proud to think that we could give lunatics an unlimited budget.
And yet, here we are.
yes here we are. check out Legacy of Ashes by Tim Weiner, probably hands down the most factual portrayal of the CIA, everything in it is fact and on the record. You can check it out on scribd to get a little taste: http://www.scribd.com/doc/82943290/Legacy-of-Ashes-The-History-of-the-CIA
anyways, a good read, and you can clearly see since WWII who has been behind almost every government uprising, rigged election, etc etc etc....sighhhhhhhhh
Let us start with some facts in this in the dope trade is hundreds of years old, and governments, merchants and bankers have been making profits off of this thee entire time.
This started in America with the Yankee traders being drop ships for opium into China and the rum runners and is still a government sanctioned commerce from the Indian Reservations being federal meth labs run by elements of the federal government and the coke pipeline into America is run by the shadow elements of DEA, Customs and the Directorate.
The real CIA is working fine.

'Nam was a dope war. WW2 in the Pacific was a dope war. See French IndoChina/Japan.
terrorism is balogna. you are blaming the u.s. for 'terrorism' now? when terrorism doens't even exist and is made up?
whose the fool?
there is only violence. some of it for just ends , some of it for unjust ends. it is you who decides whether the ends justify the means. relativism is the only actual truth. that all is shades of grey.
the idea that some means are 'off limits' , is only the notion that the ends are not significant enough in the eyes of the beholder to justify those means. and it all depends on the eye's of the beholder. there is no universal morality or ethics. anyone who says otherwise is just trying to sell you their version of what should be universal. and at the very basic level, everyone is selling you their right to live and your duty to respect everything about their right to live regardless of your desires to do things which would naturally impede this right. the grand vision of most socieities is based around this plain as day fiction. because ---at some point----there is at least one person who defines this 'right' in every society. that being the king. who'se right to life is always going to be greater than those of his subjects all things being equal.
It sure does not seem like balogna. Just in the last couple of weeks we have had the Batman movie terroism and the Sikh temple terrorism. The way it is easy to tell that it is GOVERNMENT sponsored terroism is because the mainstream media reports differ greatly from the eye-witness reports from the scene.
In the Batman case, witnesses say there were two people and one person let at least one more in the theater AND the gas mask was found way at the other end of the building outside, where it is assumed there was a getaway car... as if the sedately drugged up guy pictured in the courtroom was even capable of holding a gun, much less shooting with military precision.
In the Sikh temple shooting, eye-witnesses reported 4 shooters, not one. Whether the dead person was a shooter or not is difficult to tell. Maybe just another government created patsy.
But since in both cases the mainstream media is not paying attention to eye-witnesses and just regurgitating a story given to them by the government, you have to assume that the government IS INVOLVED in the terror plot.
With 911, there is building 7 and all of the eye-witness reports of other explosions at lower levels long before the buildings came down. With the Oklahoma City Federal building not only was there a second person helping with the rental truck but experts on the scene said that there was no way 1 truck bomb could do what they claimed it did and that there was evidence of two other bombs planted inside the building.
There are reports from an ex-navy seal that he was involved in terrorizing Iraq for 5 years prior to the official attack. They would send in cruise missiles to a target and after it hit and people were on the scene helping with wounded, they would hit the building with a second cruise missile to cause terror.
The FBI sponsored failed "attempt" on the Israeli embassador, the FBI sponsored set up of the kids in Pennsylvania and the supposed plan to bomb a bridge. People just don't do those things, have access to explosive or the weapons and other equipment without help from the friendly neighborhood terrorist government. The addmitted government sponsored "Fast and Furious" gun running scheme helped make the border areas unsafe and put fear into people about going to Mexico or dealing with its people. The underwear bomber was helped to get on the plane, WITH NO PASSPORT, by a "sharp-dressed man, so witnesses say.
One wonders what is going through the heads of the government psychopaths and their ultimate endgame. However, the consistency of the government plots seems very focuesed and should put no doubt in people's head that when there is a terrorist attack either foreign or domestic, most likely the US government is behind it... and of course, Obama is no better than Bush. It is even reported that Obama had a couple of people killed to ensure that he would be nominated at the 2008 Democratic convention.
So, is the purpose terror or is the purpose to incite revolution so that the government can claim they are justified in taking away our remaining freedoms? I don't know.
