Terror Part Un! The War on Terror Is A Faux Issue! Exclusive: Are Private, Rogue, American and Brit Agents, Causing Terrorist Attacks In Iraq And Elsewhere? Are Americans and Brits really posing as Arabs trying OT set off bomb in peaceful Baghdad neighborhood, arrested by Brit "Troops" with tanks and American Mercenaries? Baghdad bank robbed of $282,000,000 cash! Prisoners rescued by force of arms by American and Brit Vigilantes in uniform! Bombings, assassinations, murders, massive "offenses," who is responsible for the massive mayhem in Iraq? A Baghdad blast killed Several Sunni sheikhs. Which had closer contacts with US-led forces before 911 Cheney/Rove or the Iraqi people? Now let's see, were they for or against the US stealing their oil? Let's look at the picture coldly and unemotionally. Are the fascists behind all perversions like monogamy, Marriage as a sacrament, Outlawing Prostitution, making war on Men and Boys, creating the hostilities between women and men, trying to stop divorce, actually surreptitiously supporting abortion pimping it to minorities to control their population? ITEM: "Terrorism" The Serendipity of 9/11 and Its Value as Propaganda and Panic Satan-Sent For The Fascist Military, Medical, Industrial, Financial, Complex (MIMC). "Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death." -- Adolf Hitler

"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." ----James Madison.

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." -- David Rockefeller.

ITEM: Conspiratorial Naziism Several sources quoted Movie director Aaron Russo (Trading Places, etc.) saying that Nicolas Rockefeller told him, "Eleven months before 9/11 happened there was going to be an event and out of that event we were going to invade Afghanistan to run pipelines through the Caspian sea, we were going to invade Iraq to take over the oil fields and establish a base in the Middle East, and we'd go after Chavez in Venezuela." According to Russo NR also said: that there would be an "Endless war on terror where there's no real enemy and the whole thing is a giant hoax," so that "the government could take over the American people." Russo said that Rockefeller was cynically laughing and cracking jokes while making his odd prediction. Rockefeller also Admitted to an Elite Goal Of a "...Micro chipped Population...!"

NR told Russo that soldiers would be searching caves in Afghanistan and Pakistan for Osama bin Laden in false preperation for an "Endless war on terror where there's no real enemy and the whole thing is a giant hoax," enabling "the government could take over the American people," according to Russo, who said that Rockefeller was cynical through his conversation spotting the insane plan with almost hysterical laughter Sometime later, Rockefeller asked Russo what he thought of women's liberation and why and how it finally came about. Russo's said that it had to do with the right to work and receive equal pay. It was similar to their seeking and gaining the Right to vote. At this Rockefeller to laughing again and retorted, "You're an idiot! Let me tell you what that was about, we, the Rockefeller's funded that, we funded women's lib, we're the one's who got all of the newspapers and television to cover it- the Rockefeller Foundation." He said that two primary reasons why the elite funded women's lib: First, because before women's lib half the population was not being taxed or working and two because it allowed them to get children in school at an earlier age, allowing that kids be indoctrinated into accepting brainwashing, breaking up the traditional family model. (It also boomed the markets by preparing separate households for women and men, with two sets of everything for dependent children. Author addition). Gloria Steinem, feminist pioneer, admitted as much, herself. He said. NR said that the CIA bankrolled Ms. Magazine with the idea of breaking up traditional family models. "The people have to be ruled" Rockefeller, said, "by an elite and that one of the tools of such power was population reduction, that there were "too many people in the world," and world sliced in half. War, starvation and disease, helped along and seeded by the power structure would do the job, apparently. Rockefeller did admit that the Israeli Palesitine issue went further than his cohorts expected and he seemed to hint that Israel might be given statehood and moved to America or Canada, with huge cash grants to all natives of Israel. This mirrored the Lincoln era idea of giving each freed black, acreage and relocating all to Texas, which would then become a totally, unintegrated, black state. ITEM: Terrorism, Faux Excuse The "War On Terror" is a phony issue. Terrorism is no worse or more intense than since the first major airline hijacking in 1960. Bush used the disaster, which may have been staged by the same CIA forces that murdered the Kennedy's, to panic Americans, including the congress, to establish his New World Order. Plans for Staging Terrorist by Americans to Start wars are nothing new: Hearst, Teddy Roosevelt, did as much, suggestions by Patton to provoke Russia in 1945, CIA suggestions to JFK which he turned down, plans never revealed to Presidents by CIA, which are now being implemented. Bush used ruse to obtain complete autonomy to steal coveted oil using Religious, ethnic bigotry to fuel racists. The War Against Boys, Men And Nature ITEM: Organized Religions, Uncertified By God Destabilizing the Nature of Creatures As men have bio-engineered livestock and plants, the churches have re-engineered the nature of Man. The churches, in a virtual law against nature, denied polygamy to control the feisty male animal. Their actions displayed to men of intellect, the true nature of those who controlled the churches in their war against the natural order of men and women. Despite John 4: 4-42 the church placed emphasis on sexuality and polygamy as the major evils in life. In this playing upon the wifely fears of sexual "terrorism" of the wanton sexuality of single women prowling after their husbands, a fear unknown in polygamous marriages. These ploys set the stage for war between man and wife and enabled wives to obviate man's sexual needs. The needs of men were abandoned by wives who no longer want sex with them, thereby controlling by sexual neglect, diversion and marginalization, the danger of a free and content male animal. The ending of polygamy played upon the envy/jealousy of control-freak men, who were incapable of attracting multiple females and women too insecure and controlling to tolerate several wifely peers and too envious to share a marriage with others. As a result the US outlawed polygamy, further emasculating males by removing their natural state. ITEM: Chaotic Destabilization of Humankind The legalization of abortion, the crushing and demoralizing tendency of the courts to favor women with child custody, are all aimed at the emasculation, demonisation and marginalization of the free male. These are well planned techniques of the women's movement's hostility toward men, supported by world bankers and the Military, Medical, Industrial, Financial, Complex (MMIFC). The goal is disharmony between the genders blaming God's creation of two gender's and the honor of birthing of new humans upon the male financed in part by Rockefeller to cause diversion and chaos in the home in a further effort to frustrate males, tie them up and keep them at bay putting out fires within their marriage to bother with the major evils. Men and Women who object to the amply displayed general nature of men, are in reality untrusting and hold in contempt the will and design of God and thus should thoroughly ignored. ITEM: Drug Chaos The inevitable reality that wherever the Bushites conquer and divide there is an amplification of drug farming and sales. In Afghanistan, the drug farming increased from seventy five thousand acres of poppy growth to over 2,000,000 acres of poppy growth, which US planes claim to be unable to locate. The goal of the Military, Medical, Industrial, Financial, and Complex is to spread chaos to in an effort to dismantle by distributing drugs throughout every society in which they wish to take over. ITEM: Depopulation By Egocentric Self-envisioned "Leadership" Inevitably, the insane ego-centricity of those who see themselves as the "ruling Classes," includes massive genocidal de-populization policies aimed at those least desirable to the "Ruling Classes," which includes the "...weaker liberals..." The Bushites saw, as a guilt avoidance technique leading adoption of a messianic mission point of view, in which disasters are seen buy them as advantages afforded by God to those who see themselves as worthy of leadership are worthy of worshipfulness by everyone else, gave rise to the abandonment of New Orleans. It was viewed as a God send, to depopulate the area through genocidal neglect. A secondary feature was the advantages to the financial establishment to rob the population of their homes and profit mightily. They've taken this exact format in Iraq, as they allow mercenaries to murder/assassinate citizens and steal their homes and businesses as well as their oil. Why Depopulation? Because they think they can. Why? Too many people in their way. Too many people fo the wrong skin color in their way. Too many people with scruples or conscience in their way. Too many people who want freedom in the way Too many people who want justice in their way. Too many people without Big Money in their way. Too many believers in justice, honor, God, family and Country in their way. Too many people crowding their favorite haunts, hotels, spas, once exclusive clubs, restaurants and whorehouses in their way. Just too many people to support with Medicare, Social Security, when they have better plans for the money, for themselves, in the way. Just too many people, in the way Bush Faked Out The Nation And The Congress, with an Issue As Phony As Kennedy's Missile Gap, But Far More Deadly! G W Bush, used an old campaign ploy on Americans, who unlike their father and grandfathers during WW II, are ever the suckers with a phony "WAR ON TERROR, A NEW KIND OF WAR...LONG LASTING," the moment I heard him speak those words I knew it was a play to attack forever and attempt to and perhaps succeed in enslaving fools. It was something, actually right out of Orwell's 1984. One must however, ask the question, why were some Americans not fooled by the ruse, and why were congress fooled by an obvious, (to some of us) childish TV ploy, worthy of the worst TV hucksters, including Johnny Carson's, famous sleazy Al Fern, but not nearly as humorous. A plan to carry out the invasion of the oil nations was hatched in a board game I designed back in 1960. It was intended as a sarcastic, satirical, commentary, on American fascist, Right Wing greed, lust and covetousness. I called it Total Warfare. I produced high quality board games for education and fun, not profit. Total Warfare was a game with fixed moves for each piece like chess, no dice, no spinners, no cards, so that little was left to luck. A 3600 square game board, with islands, land, harbors, canals, factories, troop training centers, 480 Rubber and metal pieces; soldiers, tanks, cannon's, ships, airplanes, carriers, ground to air to ground rocket missiles, trucks, amphibians, and helicopters, to carry troops, ordinance, supply cartons, without which nothing could move, land and water mines, barbed wire, cash, bonds, four nations with production of all needed equipment and training grounds, and the coveted oil wells. A similar game idea without the sarcasm and satire had simultaneously occurred to others who meant it not as an insult to the avaristic, because they were the avaristic. Nixon, Reagan and Bush Senior, called them the crazies. The decision to attack Iraq first came in 1984, apropos, no? (Hey, that rhymes). It lacked only opportunity and someone evil enough, sadistic enough, and ethics challenged enough to carry it out. Enter G W Bush. The idea was that if they won the 2000 election they would attempt to bait Saddam into a war, steal the oil, all of the Iraqi's profitable businesses and then go on to Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and later maybe even Russia and China and corner the world oil market. However, to make the unhealthy plan work, the Constitution and Bill of Rights had to be scuttled, so that pesky dissidents like those which wrecked the Viet Nam fiasco, could be jailed, assassinated or put in prisons without trial and never heard from, or of, again. Then along came a "terrorist" moment, a thing that comes long, maybe once in a lifetime, and the Neo-cons turned it into the greatest swindle since before Reaganomics. They bulldozed a pussycat congress and a jelly back-boned public into a ploy worthy of Yellow Kid Wile. 9/11 happened because of the incompetence of the Bushites administration. Clinton warned him personally about Osama Bin Laden, Clarke warned him and so did others, but Bush had other things on his mind, like how could he goad Saddam into a war and get the oil. 9/11 didn't happen in Johnson's administration, or in Nixon's, or in Ford's, or Carters, or Bush I's, or either of Clinton's. Why not? Because whatever one has against any of them, they had their eyes on the ball and America was free of major attacks. Bush blew it plain and simple, or his Neo-cons planned the 9/11 attacks, without even asking his permission, or informing him. They probably were afraid he'd botch it up or spill it. Bush fooled many people who voted, and many other people (Single working women, Blacks and a few others) failed to vote, had they he would not have won. In addition, a few millions misguided, ill advised others voted for Nader, a wasted vote accomplishing only one thing, allowing the worst national leader since Adolph Hitler. Nice going Nader Backers. The Dems did not listen to many of us, about making a deal with Nader. Their arrogance didn't begin in the Gore/Bush debacle; it started in the Johnson Era. In the midst of the Reagan sweep in 1980, I was Campaign Chair for Democratic Municipal candidates fro mayor and trustees and we reversed the Republican City Council of 7 Republican's 1 Democratic, to 7 Democrats and 1 Republican and added a Democratic mayor, and the Republicans haven't won since in that city. I wrote to many Senatorial Candidates about the Military Industrial Medical Financial Complex very back then. The only one who listened with interest was John Glenn, who invited me to visit him at his Chicago office, but he had no chance to win and my ideas died with him. JFK, my early patron was dead, Mayor Daley was gone, and my minor degree of influence with them both. I quit politics, frustrated and sad about JFK, still two decades later. An era ended, and I focused on making money. A few years later, after success in the market I sold my businesses and began to teach-a wealthy, tenured Professor with actual real world experience. That was a hateful image among left-wing faculty, at least until they had gotten to know me. Later my spiritual re-conversion occurred (for the third time since age six and the polio which laid me out for two years.) Things had changed while I ignored politics. I sold my business interests to teach, and later took an early retirement from teaching. I realized, as my Grand-pappy said I would, later in life, that justice is not something to be found on the Planet where God sends us to experience evil first-hand, because He knows no one can ever imagine, or appreciate it from mere stories. Then Bush came along and he did something the Democrats, who from time to time called me to re-interest me in politics, only to be rebuffed, could not do. Bush gave me a reason to become active again. This time however, not by running campaigns, but by writing. Things certainly had changed, now even the Democrats have bought into a phony issue, of a mythical and non-existent World Terrorist Conspiracy. It was/is the Kings New Clothes, in which instead of politicians educating and leading the ant-brains of society, they, like parents buying-off spoiled offspring, make the semi-fictional World Terrorist Conspiracy, a reality, encouraging, hiring and promoting, stupidity and benefiting politically from it. Well, they gave the whiners something to do. They bought Duct Tape and plastic sheeting and prayed to a Jesus they invented, who had nothing in common with the Jesus of history, or the Jesus of the Bible! In addition, why not, the ones who got frightened, had already Kissed their pathetically mustard seed-sized brains good-bye. In the words of Bette Davis in All About Eve, fasten your seat belts folks it's going to be a bumpy ride. E. B. White: Prophetic Reporting In 1948/49, in a musing about New York, E. B. White wrote in Here Is New York, White produced an elegant essay that presaged September 11 as clearly as a prophet might: "The city, for the first time in its long history, is destructible. A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate the millions. The intimation of mortality is part of New York now: in the sound of jets overhead, in the black headlines of the latest edition. As dwellers in cities must live with the stubborn fact of annihilation; in New York the fact is somewhat more concentrated because of the concentration of the city itself, and because, of all targets, New York has a certain clear priority. In the mind of whatever perverted dreamer might loose the lightning, New York must hold a steady, irresistible charm." In the 19th Century, "terrorists" were everywhere, fighting against the foulest Imperialist Terrorist Nation, since the Rome of the Caesars, Great Britain. She annihilated, discombobulated and fractionalized small nation after small nation, arming both sides and urging them to rebel and then watching to see who would win, and eventually graduated to terrorizing larger, but under-developed nations like India and the entire Middle East. Then, the winner, pretty much drained and bereft of energy and in need of new manpower were a simple group to infiltrate and command. In other cases, they simply agitated and armed both sides, but armed the side they preferred to win with better weapons and kept the supplies coming until their favorite prevailed. A few times their first choice did not prevail, however, since they'd supplied both, their coupe worked anyway. They ran into a few problems with the IRA over the generations, which assisted in disassembling British Imperialism, which under Tony Blair is attempting a reincarnation. However, in the end, it will fail and his name and family will end up under heaps of vilification, decades after his ill-advised avarice led him down the proverbial Primrose path with the New Adolph Hitler. To the enlightened, Blair will reign forever, in the trash-heap of history, as one with promise who sold his soul to the Anti-Christ. Blair, the product of the Party of Avarice-the Neo-con, Fascists, Nazi's hiding behind citizenship of America, but vying to hold citizenship in an another mountaintop nation, above the toxic pollution they've created. In Great Britain's version of the CIA, the BSIS, and their Superspy, the fellow which Ian Fleming used as his prototype for James Bond, Salomon (Shlomo) Rosenblum, or Georgi Rosenblum better known as Lieutenant Sidney George Reilly, MC, played every side against the middle, but mostly helped the New Roman Imperialists, Great Britain, along with Germany, created the milieu which fostered eventual rebellion against white Anglo-Aryan Imperialism. That Imperialism shared by enemies, inevitably was the prelude to WW I and WW II, much as the current fascists running the American Government are creating hatred around the world which will see China, Russia and Europe, in a few generations, unite to annihilate what is left of the once noble USA, after the Bushites have ravaged it. The world has always had "terrorism" and always will and it is no more dangerous than it was the day after we exploded the first nuclear device. 9/11 was a freak accident, perhaps even staged by American Fascists in control, themselves, to take control of a weal-kneed, cringing populace grown soft on TV, sponge cake, beer and crab-legs. The strong over-belly of our nation lies in it's minority of morally Spartan, intellectual, athletic, prophets, only recognized by the enlightened, which have led a life more dedicated to anti-consumptionism, non-materialism. In the end, they are the nations only and last hope. I quoted this before, but for those who missed it: "Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." - Hermann Goering, Nazi at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II. Below is the evidence that nothing has changed much since 1968 and before, to now. Below is a chronography of "Terrorism," which I and most people of common sense call, Saboteurism, and it has been going on for about 3,000,000 years in various forms from hurling plague infested bodies over city walls and into drinking water supplies, to Trojan Horses. (Of wood covering warriors, not latex, covering penises). Although more people died because of 9/11, none of the other events were cases involving possible treason. Osama Bin Laden may have been responsible, but who paid him? Paid him, maybe, to be the fall guy, another Lee Harvey Oswald? Maybe one of us will write the Non-fiction Version of 9/11? A Brief History of Space Age Sabotage Which Bears Repeating! July 1968 Popular Front for the Liberation Palestine (PFLP) hijacked El Al flight en route Tel Aviv and forced to land Algiers.
