FAKE TERROR - THE ROAD TO WAR AND DICTATORSHIP

FAKE TERROR - THE ROAD TO WAR AND DICTATORSHIP
It's the oldest trick in the book, dating back to Roman times;
creating the enemies you need.

In 70 BC, an ambitious minor politician and extremely wealthy man,
Marcus Licinius Crassus, wanted to rule Rome. Just to give you an
idea of what sort of man Crassus really was, he is credited with
invention of the fire brigade. But in Crassus' version, his fire-
fighting slaves would race to the scene of a burning building
whereupon Crassus would offer to buy it on the spot for a tiny
fraction of it's worth. If the owner sold, Crassus' slaves would put
out the fire. If the owner refused to sell, Crassus allowed the
building to burn to the ground. By means of this device, Crassus
eventually came to be the largest single private land holder in
Rome, and used some of his wealth to help back Julius Caesar against
Cicero.

In 70 BC Rome was still a Republic, which placed very strict limits
on what Rulers could do, and more importantly NOT do. But Crassus
had no intentions of enduring such limits to his personal power, and
contrived a plan.
Crassus seized upon the slave revolt led by Spartacus in order to
strike terror into the hearts of Rome, whose garrison Spartacus had
already defeated in battle. But Spartacus had no intention of
marching on Rome itself, a move he knew to be suicidal. Spartacus
and his band wanted nothing to do with the Roman empire and had
planned from the start merely to loot enough money from their former
owners in the Italian countryside to hire a mercenary fleet in which
to sail to freedom.


Sailing away was the last thing Crassus wanted Spartacus to do. He
needed a convenient enemy with which to terrorize Rome itself for
his personal political gain. So Crassus bribed the mercenary fleet
to sail without Spartacus, then positioned two Roman legions in such
a way that Spartacus had no choice but to march on Rome.
Terrified of the impending arrival of the much-feared army of
gladiators, Rome declared Crassus Praetor. Crassus then crushed
Spartacus' army and even though Pompey took the credit, Crassus was
elected Consul of Rome the following year.


With this maneuver, the Romans surrendered their Republican form of
government. Soon would follow the first Triumvirate, consisting of
Crassus, Pompeii, and Julius Caesar, followed by the reign of the
god-like Emperors of Rome.
The Romans were hoaxed into surrendering their Republic, and
accepting the rule of Emperors.


Julius Caesar's political opponent, Cicero, for all his literary
accomplishments, played the same games in his campaign against
Julius Caesar, claiming that Rome was falling victim to an
internal "vast right wing" conspiracy in which any expressed desire
for legislative limits on government was treated as suspicious
behavior. Cicero, in order to demonstrate to the Romans just how
unsafe Rome has become hired thugs to cause as much disturbance as
possible, and campaigned on a promise to end the internal strife if
elected and granted extraordinary powers.

What Cicero only dreamed of, Adolph Hitler succeeded in doing.
Elected Chancellor of Germany, Hitler, like Crassus, had no
intention of living with the strict limits to his power imposed by
German law. Unlike Cicero, Hitler's thugs were easy to recognize;
they all wore the same brown shirts. But their actions were no
different than those of their Roman predecessors. They staged
beatings, set fires, caused as much trouble as they could, while
Hitler made speeches promising that he could end the crime wave of
subversives and terrorism if he was granted extraordinary powers.
Then the Reichstag burned down; a staged terrorist attack.

The Germans were hoaxed into surrendering their Republic, and
accepting the total rule of Der Fuehrer. Hitler had German troops
dressed in Polish uniforms attack the radio station at Gliewitz,
then lied to the Germans, telling them Poland had invaded, and
marched Germany off into World War Two


The state-sponsored schools will never tell you this, but
governments routinely rely on hoaxes to sell their agendas to an
otherwise reluctant public. The Romans accepted the Emperors and the
Germans accepted Hitler not because they wanted to, but because the
carefully crafted illusions of threat appeared to leave no other
choice.
Our government too uses hoaxes to create the illusion that We The
People have no choice but the direction the government wishes us to
go in.




In 1898, Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph
Hearst's New York Journal were arguing for American intervention in
Cuba. Hearst is reported to have dispatched a photographer to Cuba
to photograph the coming war with Spain. When the photographer asked
just what war that might be, Hearst is reported to have
replied, "You take the photographs, and I will provide the war".
Hearst was true to his word, as his newspaper published stories of
great atrocities being committed against the Cuban people, most of
which turned out to be complete fabrications.
On the night of February 15, 1898, the USS Maine, lying in Havana
harbor in a show of US resolve to protect her interests, exploded
violently. Captain Sigsbee, the commander of the Maine, urged that
no assumptions of enemy attack be made until there was a full
investigation of the cause of the explosion. For this, Captain
Sigsbee was excoriated in the press for "refusing to see the
obvious". The Atlantic Monthly declared flat out that to suppose the
explosion to be anything other than a deliberate act by Spain
was "completely at defiance of the laws of probability".

Under the slogan "Remember the Maine", Americans went to war with
Spain, eventually winning the Philippines (and annexing Hawaii along
the way).

In 1975, an investigation led by Admiral Hyman Rickover examined the
data recovered from a 1911 examination of the wreck and concluded
that there had been no evidence of an external explosion. The most
likely cause of the sinking was a coal dust explosion in a coal
bunker imprudently located next to the ship's magazines. Captain
Sigsbee's caution had been well founded.


President Franklin Delano Roosevelt needed a war. He needed the
fever of a major war to mask the symptoms of a still deathly ill
economy struggling back from the Great Depression (and mutating
towards Socialism at the same time). Roosevelt wanted a war with
Germany to stop Hitler, but despite several provocations in the
Atlantic, the American people, still struggling with that
troublesome economy, were opposed to any wars. Roosevelt violated
neutrality with lend lease, and even ordered the sinking of several
German ships in the Atlantic, but Hitler refused to be provoked.
Roosevelt needed an enemy, and if America would not willingly attack
that enemy, then one would have to be maneuvered into attacking
America, much as Marcus Licinius Crassus has maneuvered Spartacus
into attacking Rome.


The way open to war was created when Japan signed the tripartite
agreement with Italy and Germany, with all parties pledging mutual
defense to each other. Whereas Hitler would never declare war on the
United States no matter the provocation, the means to force Japan to
do so were readily at hand.
The first step was to place oil and steel embargoes on Japan, using
Japan's wars on the Asian mainland as a reason. This forced Japan to
consider seizing the oil and mineral rich regions in Indonesia. With
the European powers militarily exhausted by the war in Europe, the
United States was the only power in the Pacific able to stop Japan
from invading the Dutch East Indies, and by moving the Pacific fleet
from San Diego to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Roosevelt made a pre-emptive
strike on that fleet the mandatory first step in any Japanese plan
to extend it's empire into the "southern resource area".

Roosevelt boxed in Japan just as completely as Crassus had boxed in
Spartacus. Japan needed oil. They had to invade Indonesia to get it,
and to do that they first had to remove the threat of the American
fleet at Pearl Harbor. There never really was any other course open
to them.


To enrage the American people as much as possible, Roosevelt needed
the first overt attack by Japan to be as bloody as possible,
appearing as a sneak attack much as the Japanese had done to the
Russians. From that moment up until the attack on Pearl Harbor
itself, Roosevelt and his associates made sure that the commanders
in Hawaii, General Short and Admiral Kimmel, were kept in the dark
as much as possible about the location of the Japanese fleet and
it's intentions, then later scapegoated for the attack. (Congress
recently exonerated both Short and Kimmel, posthumously restoring
them to their former ranks).

But as the Army board had concluded at the time, and subsequent de-
classified documents confirmed, Washington DC knew the attack was
coming, knew exactly where the Japanese fleet was, and knew where it
was headed.
On November 29th, Secretary of State Hull showed United Press
reporter Joe Leib a message with the time and place of the attack,
and the New York Times in it's special 12/8/41 Pearl Harbor edition,
on page 13, reported that the time and place of the attack had been
known in advance!

The much repeated claim that the Japanese fleet maintained radio
silence on it's way to Hawaii was a lie. Among other intercepts
still held in the Archives of the NSA is the UNCODED message sent by
the Japanese tanker Shirya stating, "proceeding to a position 30.00
N, 154.20 E. Expect to arrive at that point on 3 December." (near

President Lyndon Johnson wanted a war in Vietnam. He wanted it to
help his friends who owned defense companies to do a little
business. He needed it to get the Pentagon and CIA to quit trying to
invade Cuba. And most of all, he needed a provocation to convince
the American people that there was really "no other choice".
On August 5, 1964, newspapers across America reported "renewed
attacks" against American destroyers operating in Vietnamese waters,
specifically the Gulf of Tonkin. The official story was that North
Vietnamese torpedo boats launched an "unprovoked attack" on the USS
Maddox while it was on "routine patrol".

The truth is that USS Maddox was involved in aggressive intelligence
gathering in coordination with actual attacks by South Vietnam and
the Laotian Air Force against targets in North Vietnam. The truth is
also that there was no attack by torpedo boats against the USS
Maddox. Captain John J. Herrick, the task force commander in the
Gulf, cabled Washington DC that the report was the result of
an "over-eager" sonar man who had picked up the sounds of his own
ship's screws and panicked. But even with this knowledge that the
report was false, Lyndon Johnson went on national TV that night to
announce the commencement of air strikes against North
Vietnam, "retaliation" for an attack that had never occurred.


President George H. W. Bush wanted a war in Iraq. Like Crassus,
George Bush is motivated by money. Specifically oil money. But with
the OPEC alliance failing to keep limits on oil production in the
Mideast, the market was being glutted with oil pumped from
underneath Iraq, which sat over roughly 1/3 of the oil reserves of
the entire region.

George wanted a war to stop that flow of oil, to keep prices (and
profits) from falling any further than they already had. But like
Roosevelt, he needed the "other side" to make the first move.
Iraq had long been trying to acquire greater access to the Persian
Gulf, and felt limited confined a narrow strip of land along
Kuwait's northern border, which placed Iraqi interests in close
proximity with hostile Iran. George Bush, who had been covertly
arming Iraq during its war with Iran, sent word via April Glaspie
that the United States would not intervene if Saddam Hussein grabbed
a larger part of Kuwait. Saddam fell for the bait and invaded.

Of course, Americans were not about to send their sons and daughters
to risk their lives for petroleum products. So George Bush arranged
a hoax, using a public relations firm which has grown rich on
taxpayer money by being most industrious and creative liars! The PR
firm concocted a monumental fraud in which the daughter of the
Kuwaiti Ambassador to the United States, went on TV pretending to be
a nurse, and related a horror story in which Iraqi troops looted the
incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital, leaving the premature babies on
the cold floor to die. The media, part of the swindle from the
start, never bothered asking why the "nurse" didn't just pick the
babies up and wrap them in blankets or something.

Enraged by the incubator story, Americans supported operation Desert
Storm, which never removed Saddam Hussein from power but which did
take Kuwait's oil off of the market for almost 2 years and limited
Iraq's oil exports to this very day. That our sons and daughters
came home with serious and lingering medical illnesses was
apparently not too great a price to pay for increased oil profits.


Following the victory in Iraq, yet another war appeared to be in the
offering in the mineral rich regions of Bosnia. Yet again, a hoax
was used to create support for military action.
The photo (right) of Fikret Alic staring through a barbed wire
fence, was used to "prove" the existence of modern
day "Concentration Camps". As the headline of "Belsen 92" indicates,
all possible associations with the Nazi horrors were made to sell
the necessity of sending yet more American troops into someone
else's nation.


But when German Journalists went to Trnopolje, the site of the
supposed Concentration Camp. to film a documentary, they discovered
that the photo was a fake! The camp at Trnopolje was not a
concentration camp but a refugee center. Nor was it surrounded by
barbed wire. Careful examination of the original photo revealed that
the photographer had shot the photo through a broken section of
fence surrounding a tool shed. It was the photographer who was on
the inside, shooting out at the refugees.
Once again, Americans had been hoaxed into support of actions they
might otherwise not have agreed with.


While several American Presidents have willingly started wars for
personal purposes, perhaps no President has ever carried it to the
extreme that Bill Clinton has.
Coincident with the expected public statement of Monica Lewinsky
following her testimony, Bill Clinton ordered a cruise missile
attack on Sudan and Afghanistan, claiming to have had irrefutable
proof that bogeyman extraordinaire (and former Afghani ally) Osama
Bin Ladin was creating terrorist chemical weapons there.


Examination of the photos of the debris revealed none of the
expected structures one would find in a laboratory that handled
lethal weapons-grade materials. Assurances from the CIA that they
had a positive soil test for biological weapons fell on their face
when it was revealed that there had been no open soil anywhere near
the pre-bombed facility. Sudan requested that international
observers come test the remains of the factory for any signs of the
nerve gas Clinton had insisted was there. None was found. The
Sudanese plant was a harmless aspirin factory, and the owner has
sued for damages.



Later examination of the site hit in Afghanistan revealed it to be a
mosque.

Meanwhile, back in Kosovo, stories about genocide and atrocities
were flooding the media (in time to distract from the Sudanese
embarrassments), just as lurid and sensational and as it turns out
often just as fictional as most of William Randolph Hearst's stories
of atrocities against the Cubans.
Again, the government and the media were hoaxing Americans. The
above photo was shown on all the American networks, claiming to be
one of Slobodan Milosovic's Migs, shot down while attacking
civilians. Closer examination (click on the photo) shows it to be
stenciled in English!

Like Germany under Chancellor Hitler, there have been events in our
nation which strike fear into the hearts of the citizens, such as
the New York World Trade Tower bombing, the OK City Federal
Building, and the Olympic Park bomb (nicely timed to divert the
media from witnesses to the TWA 800 shoot down). The media has been
very quick to blame such events on "radicals", "subversives", "vast
right wing conspiracies", and other "enemies in our midst", no
different than the lies used by Cicero and Hitler.

But on closer examination, such "domestic terrorist" events do not
appear to be what they are made out to be. The FBI had an informant
inside the World Trade Tower bombers, Emad Salam, who offered to
sabotage the bomb. The FBI told him "no". The so-called "hot bed" of
white separatism at Elohim City, occasional home to Tim McVeigh in
the weeks prior to the OK City bombing, was founded and is being run
by an FBI informant!

And nobody has ever really explained what this second Ryder truck
was doing in a secret camp half way from Elohim City to Oklahoma
City two weeks before the bombing.
So, here we are today. Like the Romans of Crassus' and Cicero's
time, or the Germans under a newly elected Hitler, we are being
warned that a dangerous enemy threatens us, implacable, invisible,
omnipresent, and invulnerable as long as our government is hamstrung
by that silly old Bill of Rights. Already there have appeared
articles debating whether or not "extraordinary measures" (i.e.
torture) are not fully justified under certain circumstances such as
those we are purported to face.

As was the case in Rome and Germany, the government continues to
plead with the public for an expansion of its power and authority,
to "deal with the crisis".

However, as Casio watch timers are paraded before the cameras, to
the stentorian tones of the talking heads' constant dire warnings,
it is legitimate to question just how real the crises is, and how
much is the result of political machinations by our own leaders.

Are the terrorists really a threat, or just hired actors with bombs
and Casio watches, paid for by Cicero and given brown shirts to wear
by Hitler?

Is terrorism inside the United States really from outside, or is it
a stage managed production, designed to cause Americans to believe
they have no choice but to surrender the Republic and accept the
totalitarian rule of a new emperor, or a new Fuhrer?

Once lost, the Romans never got their Republic back. Once lost, the
Germans never got their Republic back. In both cases, the nation had
to totally collapse before freedom was restored to the people.

Remember that when Crassus tells you that Spartacus approaches.

Remember that when thugs in the streets act in a manner clearly
designed to provoke the public fear.

Remember that when the Reichstag burns down.

Remember that when the President lies to you about weapons of mass
destruction.
