Why kill Anwar al-Awlaki, an American who inspired the Times Square Fizzler and advised the Crotch Bomb Sizzler?
This Islamic preacher is "out there." No doubt about it. So is Christian preacher John Hagee.
Hagee promises his flock a Rapture that will beam them up to Heaven. But not just yet. First God’s Chosen People must recover Jerusalem.
Remind me: isn’t the status of Jerusalem THE most contentious and volatile issue in the entire Middle East?

Hagee is much loved by the Likud Party wing nuts that have never shown any desire for peace with an indigenous population that has been ethnically cleansed, imprisoned and provoked with impunity for six-plus decades.
Isn’t Hagee’s preaching an incitement to violence? Yet members of his flock can claim a tax deduction to support his inspired preaching. We call this freedom of religion
If the recovery of Jerusalem for The Chosen requires an Armageddon, so be it. That too is part of God’s plan. Hagee should know. He claims a direct line to Yahweh. Just ask him.
Even a nuclear holocaust would fit God’s Plan. Why? An Apocalypse would assure the reappearance of a long-dead prophet.
This End Days prophecy is routinely foretold on the public airwaves by this tax-subsidized televangelist. For The Faithful, he offers an inspiration that has a twisted logic behind it.
When The Chosen recover their God-Given real estate, God will smite all those who refuse to join Hagee’s flock. Or some Christian affiliate thereof.
And, yes, that includes The Chosen. Convert or die. That’s the Hagee-inspired, tax-subsidized version of Christianity.
Such smiting does not qualify as a Holocaust. Why? Because those smitten are only The Chosen who refuse to choose a conversion to this version of a Loving God.
By then Hagee’s True Believers will be safely enfolded in the post-Rapture embrace of a God that prefers Christians Above All.
What about The Smitten? It was their Choice as The Chosen not to Choose. That’s their problem in this Biblical version of Blue State vs. Red State politics in a post-Apocalypse world.
Democracy-meets-theocracy supported by freedom-of-religion tax subsidies that inspire both The Saved and The Smitten.
Light Unto the Darkness
This blend of Star Trek and the Old Testament lacks any basis in either fact or faith. But Never Mind. That’s the burden that befalls those inspired by such a vision.
Just keep on keeping on, faithfully secure that you will be on the side of The Chosen in the post-Apocalyptic era. Provided, of course, that you choose wisely.
For that, consult Reverend Hagee. And keep those tax-deductible donations flowing.

John Hagee

Why do U.S. taxpayers subsidize such preaching? Why are we now using our tax dollars to hunt down and kill Muslim preachers in faraway lands?
Were there not a consensus that Hagee’s preaching merits protection as religion, he would be consigned to a padded cell. Or described as a terrorist and a Christian Evil Doer.
But the immediate issue here is neither about sanity nor the freedom to inspire.
The issue is what conduct you inspire. Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is a no-no. Unless, of course, there’s a fire. Yell "Apocalypse" and you may find yourself in one of those cells.
What about taxpayer subsidies for televangelists who preach a nuclear Apocalypse? Why subsidize such "inspiration" in the world’s most volatile region?
Is Hagee’s inspiration subsidized because it fits into a "Judeo-Christian" narrative? What if he were calling for an Apocalypse here instead of the faraway Middle East?
What is it about a U.S.-born Islamic cleric living in Yemen, the poorest Arab nation, that makes him such a danger to Americans’ interests in the Middle East?
Who benefits from his death? Why is he so problematic?
Why now?
A Contract on the New Mexican
Barack Obama, a political product of the Chicago Outfit, reportedly approved this hit.
Who persuaded this former professor of Constitutional law that this was a good idea?
What is the rationale for this contract? All we know is what’s been reported to date.
But we also know this: FBI agents were actively monitoring at least three "incidents" by Muslim Evil Doers with whom this New Mexico native was in contact:

Akin to an online Billy Graham for evangelical Muslims offering inspirational DVDs to his faithful flock, Mr. Awlaki appears uniquely capable of inspiring serial acts of "terrorism."
Or to reframe these events in game theory terminology, perhaps he was uniquely well qualified to inspire uniquely well-timed "incidents"?
But wait a minute. The facts confirm he advised and/or "inspired" four such incidents, including at least three incidents undertaken during FBI oversight of Awlaki.
How did the Times Square Fizzler make 16 trips to and from Pakistan with impunity? How did he show up in Manhattan to launch a high profile "incident" just as the United Nations began debate on a treaty to create a Middle East free of nuclear weapons? See: Israel Defense Official Defends Nuclear Ambiguity.
Well-Timed Sparkle?
Imagine yourself seated in a darkened theater focused on a mystery thriller featuring a complex plot with several intricate subplots.
Then someone in your peripheral vision lights a fireworks sparkler. What happens to your attention? Then someone lights another. What then happens to your focus?
That’s why, in national security parlance, well-timed incidents are called "sparkle."
Is it coincidence that Awlaki is found on the periphery of so many well-timed incidents? Why are federal law enforcement agents also found on the periphery?
Who benefits from having a Muslim cleric killed in a Muslim country by U.S. forces instead of apprehending him for questioning?
Kill him and watch this evidentiary trail vanish like the "dancing Israelis" who were spotted filming and celebrating the mass murder of 911.
For game theory war planners, a provocation is only the appetizer. The main course is the cascade of reactions that advance a narrative in support of a geopolitical agenda.
Provoked by 911, prodded by phony intelligence and duped yet again by a trusted ally, the U.S. reacted by invading Iraq, a nation now known to have no hand in that event. At last count, 1.3 million Iraqis are reportedly dead of war-related causes.
Rather than a nuclear-free Middle East, we’re now urged to invade Iran, the latest nuclear Evil Doer. Or is the next target now the Evil Doer Pakistan? How about Syria?
What’s been the reaction to our reaction to 911 among Muslims worldwide? Was our reaction modeled by game theory war planners? Are we that easily profiled? How much of the ongoing cascade of reactions-on-reactions-on-reactions could be modeled such that today’s outcomes became foreseeable – in the sense of being probable?
As Israeli war planners aptly say: "When the orchestra starts to play, we just hum along."
What if the anticipated reactions fail to emerge on a timely basis? Are these Awlaki-inspired incidents "sparkle?"
Were they meant to distract attention and diffuse the focus required to press for an end to Israeli occupation of Palestine – including Jerusalem? Did the Times Square Fizzler further delay U.N. treaty – first proposed in 1995 – that would force Israel to abandon its nuclear arsenal?
If we experience a nuclear "incident," does it now appear more "plausibly" the work of Muslim Evil Doers? Iranians? Pakistanis? Syrians?
Or will it be the work of Israeli provocateurs?
Advancing the Narrative
Anwar al-Awlaki has the gift of gab. There’s no dispute about that. Raised in New Mexico and steeped in the Koran, his fiery rhetoric combines fluency in both pop culture and theology.
What radicalized him? What personal experiences transformed him from a glib Islamic cleric to a U.S.-bashing Muslim Evil Doer?
How about 18 months in a Yemeni prison, most of that sentence served in solitary confinement?
That alone might not suffice to turn him against his native country – unless his confinement was traceable to an American official.
Remember John Negroponte? He first emerged on the global scene as an overseer of death squads in Central America during the mid-1980s as part of the Reagan administration.
Regarded as a mass murderer by those knowledgeable in that volatile region, he reemerged in February 2005 when Secretary of State Colin Powell was dispatched to the United Nations. With Negroponte seated behind him, Powell’s credibility as a former general was associated with intelligence falsely alleging Iraq’s possession of mobile biological weapons.
Such "associative" psy-ops are business-as-usual for those skilled at displacing facts with what a targeted populace can be deceived to believe. Displacement is an essential component when waging Information Age warfare. See: Guilt By Association.
When watching Powell’s performance (he now concedes he was duped), television viewers saw over his right shoulder CIA Director George Tenet. The intelligence operative that no one could see behind Tenet was Paul Joyal, his chief of staff who boasts of being a Khazar.
Over Powell’s other shoulder peered John Negroponte, then director of national intelligence with oversight of the nation’s 16 intelligence agencies. None of those agencies now support Powell’s Power Point presentation of "facts" proving those biological weapons.
Negroponte was the U.S. official who did not object when Yemen imprisoned a U.S. citizen and held him in solitary confinement – where Awlaki immersed himself in the Koran for 18 months.
The U.S. approval of his release in 2007 suggests that he could have been released much earlier.
Try to imagine a better formula for radicalization. Who better than an outraged articulate American cleric to inspire Muslim-American Evil Doers? Or Pakistani-American patsies such as the Times Square Fizzler.
Why was Awlaki imprisoned? Equally important, why was he released? Capture him alive and we may find out. Kill him and the trail goes cold. Could that be the point?
Why has his death been ordered by a U.S. commander-in-chief? Why do Barack Obama’s advisers not want him brought in alive?
When unwinding the multi-layered forces at work behind game theory warfare, what distinguishes the agent provocateur from those profiled to react to those provocations?
Who is the real enemy in this hall of mirrors? Faced with yet another well-timed "incident," how do we sort out the source of this evil doing?
Do we protect U.S. national security by killing a U.S. citizen?
Think about it.

Norman Finkelstein: Israel being exposed and feels threatened

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Israel has refused to permit Noam Chomsky, the linguist and icon of the American left, to enter the occupied West Bank from Jordan. Some argue that Chomsky, an 81-year-old professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, could pose a risk to Israel. Norman Finkelstein says that Israel has been exposed to the world during the Gaza conflict and now feels threatened.

Kissinger gave Obama his first job!

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

 

After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, Barack Obama went to work for a firm called Business International Corporation (BIC), a firm that was linked to economic intelligence gathering for the CIA. For one year, Obama worked as a researcher in BIC’s financial services division where he wrote for two BIC publications, Financing Foreign Operations and Business International Money Report, a weekly newsletter. An informed source has told WMR that Obama’s tuition debt at Columbia was paid off by BIC. In addition, WMR has learned that when Obama lived in Indonesia with his mother and his adoptive father Lolo Soetoro, the 20-year-old Obama, who was known as "Barry Soetoro," traveled to Pakistan in 1981 and was hosted by the family of Muhammadmian Soomro, a Pakistani Sindhi who became acting President of Pakistan after the resignation of General Pervez Musharraf on August 18, 2008. WMR was told that the Obama/Soetoro trip to Pakistan, ostensibly to go "partridge hunting" with the Soomros, related to unknown CIA business.
The covert CIA program to assist the Afghan mujaheddin was already well underway at the time and Pakistan was the major base of operations for the CIA’s support. Obama also reportedly traveled to India, again, on unknown business for U.S. intelligence. WMR has been told by knowledgeable sources that Obama has, in the past, traveled on at least three passports: U.S., Indonesian, and British. BIC also maintained a European subsidiary, Business International S.A., in Geneva. BIC had long been associated with CIA activities since being founded by Eldridge Haynes, a self-professed liberal Democrat. The BIC headquarters was located at the prestigious address of 1 Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in Manhattan. BIC held a series of off-the-record, no press, meetings between top U.S. business executives and top government officials, including the President, and the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury, Commerce, and Labor; the Attorney General, Senate leadership, and the heads of the Export-Import Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. BIC held international meetings in locations like Brussels and Mexico City.
In 1961, a BIC meeting in New Delhi was attended by Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Foreign Minister Morarji Desai, who would later become Prime Minister.One month after Leonid Brezhnev, other Soviet Communist Party officials, and KGB chief
Vladimir Seminchastny conspired to overthrow Soviet Communist Party General Secretary and Premier Nikita Khruschchev, Haynes was in Moscow in November 1964 sponsoring a business conference between Khrushchev’s successor as Premier, Aleksei Kosygin, and top U.S. businessmen. In the years following the conference, Haynes often crafted together other U.S.-Soviet business meetings and became close to Kosygin. In November 1971, Haynes put together another U.S. businessmans’ conference with Kosygin at which Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans was in attendance as President Richard Nixon’s personal envoy. The president of BIC at the time was Orville Freeman, a former secretary of agriculture during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Joining Freeman in Moscow were officials of DuPont, IBM, General Electric, Union Carbide, and Westinghouse. The Moscow meeting also dealt with the opening up of Soviet natural gas supplies to the United States. Haynes resigned as chairman of BIC in 1970 and retired to St. Croix. He remained as chairman until his death of 1976. In St. Croix, Haynes started the Virgin Islands Economic Development Bank. During the time Obama worked for BIC in 1984, the firm had a full-time analyst tracking events in Nicaragua. The Reagan administration’s Iran-contra
covert operations would begin in a matter of months from the time Obama went to work for the firm. BIC appeared to have had established business connections with Nicaragua’s Sandinista government in order to protect U.S. banking and other business investments in the country.A business card for a BIC researcher for Europe and the Middle East was obtained by WMR from declassified CIA files.
In 1985, BIC named John Haley as chairman and chief executive officer succeeding Hugh Parker, who was Obama’s ultimate boss in 1984. Haley had previously served as deputy chairman of Kissinger Associates, Inc. founded by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Although Kissinger endorsed Obama’s GOP opponent John McCain in the 2008 election, Obama sought advice from Kissinger during the campaign and later named Kissinger as his special envoy to talk to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. BIC’s connections to the CIA were revealed by Haynes’ son, Elliott Haynes, who co-founded BIC with his father. Elliott Haynes was quoted in a December 27, 1977, New York Times article, as saying that BIC "provided cover for four CIA employees in various countries between 1955 and 1960." The same article revealed that the CIA had one agent devoted to liaison with the press who worked out of the CIA’s Manhattan office.A BIC Business Executives Report from 1975 and maintained in CIA files describes the 1975 "constitutional coup" against Australian Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam but makes only single reference to CIA culpability in the affair.
WMR has obtained from CIA files, a copy of a BIC corporate brochure from 1975 that lists the officers of the corporation: Edridge Haynes, President; Orville L. Freeman, President; Elliott Haynes, Executive
Vice President; William Persen, Senior Vice President; Richard P. Conlon, Vice President; Jose A. Mestre, Vice President; Norman M. Wellen, Vice President and Treasurer; and Robert S. Wright, Vice President. Directors named in the brochure are: Robertson F. Alford, Norfolk, Connecticut; R. Stanton Avery, Chairman, Avery Prodcucts Corp., San Marino, CA.; Atherton Bean, Chairman, International Multifoods, Minneapolis; Ambassador Sol M. Linowitz, Senior Partner, Coudert Brothers, Attorneys, Washington; Lord Pilkington, Chairman, Pilkington Bros., St. Helens, UK; and C. William Verity, President, Armco Steel Corp., Middletown, OH.Linowitz, who was once chairman of Xerox, was the U.S. diplomat who negotiated the return of the Panama Canal to Panama during the Carter administration. Verity was Secretary of Commerce in the Reagan administration between 1987 and 1989. From 1987 to 1984, Verity chaired the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade Economic Council made up of U.S. and Soviet business leaders.Freeman was, in addition to being secretary of agriculture, a former Governor of Minnesota. Although he is not confirmed as the same Richard P. Conlon who served as a BIC Vice President, Richard P. Conlon was a former journalist for the Duluth Herald & News and the Minneapolis Tribune.
Conlon arrived in Washington in 1963 on a congressional fellowship while Freeman was secretary of agriculture. Conlon went on to work as a press assistant to Senator Walter Mondale and he was also close to Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Conlon became the head of the powerful Democratic Study Group in the House of Representatives. Conlon opposed U.S. military assistance to the Nicaraguan contras and the naval presence in the Persian Gulf ordered by President Reagan as violations of the War Powers Act. On June 19, 1988, Conlon died in a boating accident in the Chesapeake Bay. He was knocked overboard and his body was not discovered until four days later. Chesapeake boating accidents had already claimed the life of CIA clandestine officer John Paisley in 1978 and would later claim the lives of former CIA director William Colby and Dick Cheney friend and Export-Import Bank chief and Assistant NATO Secretary General Philip Merrill. The BIC brochure describes the firm’s Global Program, which included five elements: the Corporate Headquarters Program operating from New York in conjunction with centers in Washington, DC, Chicago, San Francisco,
Geneva, and Tokyo; the European Regional Program operated by Business International, S.A. in Geneva; the Latin American Regional Program operated out of Geneva; the Asia-Pacific Regional Program operated out of Tokyo and Hong Kong; and the East European Service operated out of Geneva and Vienna.BIC offices were located, in addition to New York, in Chicago (1 IBM Plaza), Geneva (12-14 chemin Rieu), Hong Kong (201 Asian House), Montevideo, Uruguay (Gallerias Diri), San Francisco (600 California Street), Tokyo (Pola Aoyama Building), Vienna (Prinz-Eugenstrasse 4), Washington (1625 Eye Street, NW), Buenos Aires (Cia. de Asesores Latinoamericanos S.A.), Bombay, London, Mexico City, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, and Sydney. There were also BIC "correspondents" in 50 other cities around the world. BIC also became involved in tracking terrorist and security threats to air passengers, especially after the 1985 hijacking of TWA flight 847 to Beirut while the plane was en route from Athens to Rome. BIC described Athens and Beirut as the world’s most dangerous airports, followed by Karachi, New Delhi, Manila, Tehran, Tripoli (Libya), Conakry (Guinea), Lagos, and Yaounde (Cameroon).
In 1986, BIC was bought by the Economist Group in London and its operations were merged with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). There have been a number of reports that the EIU works as closely with Britain’s MI-6 intelligence service as BIC once worked with or for the CIA. One of BIC’s directors was the late Lord Pilkington, who was also a director of the Bank of England. Obama’s work for a company having ties to the CIA barely registered a blip on the 2008 presidential campaign radar screen. At the very least, Obama helped in providing economic intelligence to the CIA as a contract employee. At most, Obama was, like previous BIC employees who operated abroad for the CIA, a full-fledged non-official cover (NOC) agent. Since President Obama has backpedaled on CIA renditions and torture, as well as warrantless electronic surveillance by U.S. intelligence, he owes the American people a full explanation of the circumstances behind his being hired by BIC, what his job actually entailed, and whether he continued to have a relationship with BIC or any other CIA operation while attending Harvard Law School and thereafter.
