When George Tenet, the DCI, “retired,” he ordered that certain very important CIA files be destroyed completely, both by shredding and burning. After doing his President’s bidding, George got the Medal of Freedom and a Pass-Free card. However, unfortunately for this happy scenario, some files were not destroyed. One of these, now making the rounds inside the Beltway, is a real shocker. I will capsulate it for you. Also, Brian Harring has taken excerpts from this and acquired far more information and his detailed study follows this.

It has long been known in intelligence and higher-level political (Republican) circles in Washington, that Israel was fully responsible for training the operators and supplying inside information to the Arabs who blew up the WTC, the Pentagon, and intended to blow up the White House. The leadership believed, correctly as it turned out, that such a violent terrorist outrage would so energize the American public that they would rush to support George Bush’s plan for a permanent U.S. military base in the Middle East, destroy Israel’s most dangerous enemy, Saddam Hussein, and gain for both nations, free and unfettered access to the huge Iraqi oil reserves.

The Israeli excuse when their participation in this was uncovered? Why, they fully informed American intelligence of what was happening at every step! This is an example where the excuse was worse than the crime, for if Mossad and the Israeli Embassy had, indeed, kept the American leadership courant with the plot, why didn’t American authorities interdict and stop it? They knew where and when the aircraft were to be hijacked yet did absolutely nothing and no protective steps were even instituted and no heightened alerts were ever issued.

Having said that as background, let us consider the deadly Bali bombing on October 12, 2002. The blast was centered in a nightclub area known to be heavily frequented by Australians. The damage was tremendous with at least 400 being killed.

This was stated in the media, from official announcements, to be a terrorist attack by an Indonesian group with links to Al Queada but this, according to the file, is not correct, although a number of locals were promptly arrested, tried and convicted for this. (Convictions were eventually overturned by the Indonesian high court)

In fact, this atrocity has strong parallels with the 9/11 attacks according to the contents of the CIA files. It seems that President Bush requested the Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, to “volunteer” Australian troops for his forthcoming attack on Iraq, five months in the future. Howard responded that while he was willing, support for the U.S. attack was badly lacking among the Australians and he anticipated problems with his government in such a project.

Bush does not like to be crossed and when the Prime Minister said that public support of the U.S. position was weak, he said that …”maybe your people should realize that terrorism knows no borders and I would hope that these crazies don’t attack you.” Howard replied, according to the transcripts of the conversation, that in the case of a perceived Muslim attack on Australians, he would certainly have the full support of his Australians. What happened next is thoroughly documented. Bush spoke with Tenet who was fully aware of the background of the 9/11 attacks. The CIA and the Mossad have very good and very close relations and the CIA was fully aware of the penetration of the Atta group in Hollywood, Florida and the preparations for the attacks. A discussion was held in Langley between Tenet and a top Mossad official (name withheld at this time) and assurances were given that “something certainly can be done to help out here.”

The resulting attack was the second one planned. The first consisted of placing a special explosive device (see the <>Harring account<><>) in an Australian public building. Fortunately for the population of Sydney, it failed to go off and is still in place. Perhaps Sydney opera lovers should make sure their insurance policies are up to date.

The second one went off in October in an area where many Australians were known to visit and the results are well known.

Australia did, indeed, join the Coalition, but now the population strongly regretting it and suspicious of foul play are beginning to surface. The Romans had a saying, “Truth crushed to earth will rise again.”

To quote from an official memo, George W. Bush referred to the reluctant Aussies as “a bunch of ex-con kangaroo humpers.”

Having read over a draft, Mr. Harring’s article, complete with pictures, documents and plans, is well worth the read. And be sure to remember the Ambassador’s tapes! Where are they now that we need them?

In the Monkey Palace, there is little new to report. A mid-level Bush staffer quit last week and we had a lunch for him at the Hay Adams hotel. He was moaning that Bush was a stone nut and was getting very dangerous, what with his determination to “crush the filthy Arabs” for once and for all. We all know that to all intents and purposes, the U.S. has lost in Iraq but no one dares to even hint at this and Bush will end his career on the instant. Someone here gave me a file on Hilary Clinton that is highly inflammatory. I made a few calls to newspaper friends, one in San Francisco, and pretty much verified a good part of it. This covers certain incidents concerning the Black Panthers that is sure to make the Obama people happy. Probably publish this next week after I have more details. Going away for the holidays and a Happy Christmas to one and all and George, leave the cat alone. It doesn’t like it when you do that.

December 15, 2006

Some of this can be found in the mainline media but only in disconnected bits and pieces.

The overall picture of what is projected to happen in Iraq is just this, based on position papers that are not disconnected. Bush categorically refuses to admit that his, and his neocon friends’ policy in Iraq has utterly and finally collapsed. His shallow and juvenile personality will never permit him to admit he was wrong.
The pressure on him to cease the American participation in the Iraqi civil war is growing but he is now denying the entreaties of his father, his father’s advisors, the senior military, Republican legislators and most important, the American people, to get out of Iraq and leave that country to its own devices.

No, Bush is now going to scrape the manpower reserves to the bottom of the barrel, and ship between 30,000 and 40,000 new troops to Iraq as quickly as possible. His end goal is 70,000 by the first of the year. These new troops will enabled our embattled and badly depleted forces there to regroup and launch a “final and decisive” push against insurgents (but only inside Baghdad and not outside it), kill as many as possible, declare a “great and decisive victory” and then get out, saving the Imperial blotched and twitching face.

However, in order to prolong the victory (the speech writers are working on his “Victory Speech to the American Public” even as I write) Bush has given orders to overthrow the current Iraqi government by force and replace it with one that will “crack down” on dissident elements and prevent further insurgency.

The problem with this typical American solution to foreign problems is that no one here is exactly sure who our new Saddam will be. If he is a Sunni, the Shiites will raise hell and Iran might well invade. If a Shiite, the mostly Sunni Arab neighbors will quickly support the other side.

In all of this horrible mess, the representatives of Israel, like poison dwarves, are constantly on the telephone with Bush and Cheney and their few remaining friends in the Pentagon. What do they want? They want us to help them destroy the nuclear capacity of Iran, probably by bombing Tehran back into the stone age. Typically, they don’t want to do this themselves (they threaten nuclear attacks but in truth, their nuclear weaponry is an overstated, propaganda farce) but want us to do it for them. Not satisfied with their lock on Bush, their Mossad agents, who regularly attend meetings at the CIA at Langley, have taken to bugging various conference rooms where they go to exchange views with their co-religionists who are now in the predominance there. Of course the bugs were detected but the errant chaps from the Mossad were permitted to keep their access if they promised to be good in the future.

This is impossible in fact but that never deterred Israel. Bush kisses their collective asses the way the repulsive Blair kisses Bush’s raddled fundament but he wouldn’t dare nuke Tehran and a U.S. military invention is impossible.

That the new troops (mostly badly trained National Guardsmen) would be slaughtered by the increasingly well-armed and trained Iraqi resistance people is of absolutely no consequence to Bush. He has been warned that mobs of ill-armed, badly trained, overweight pharmacy clerks would be like lambs led to the slaughter but constant warnings to him by everyone connected with this back ward craziness has no effect. Bush wants to save his ugly face and a few thousand more dead means nothing to him. And when it fails terribly, typically, Bush will immediately blame the Pentagon for the disaster.

In the end, why doesn’t Bush put on a nice uniform with lots of gold braid and go there himself to lead the charges against machineguns and rockets? He would end up feeding Baghdad’s wild dogs and the world would heave a collective sigh of relief and resume normal lives once again.

Mark you, this pleasant scenario is not an internet fantasy plot like the legendary and hysterically entertaining “atomic” destruction of Houston a couple of years ago and unless Bush is stopped, and soon, the results will be terrible to behold.

I keep harping on this theme and now the press seems to be awakening from their eight year hibernation and making growling noises. The theme? That Bush is a flat nut, in a state of serious denial, and absolutely determined to keep troops in Iraq until he is done here in ’08. His family and top Republicans prepared the Baker report solely as a means for letting Curious George get off lightly but he will have none of it. I have said that unless someone beats him with a pool cue, George will never, never budge an inch on his determination to “stay the course.” That the American public, which is not too bright, finally had enough and voted, in essence, against Bush and his horrors, has not and never will dawn on him. With the evil Rove hissing in his ear that a Republican comeback depends on Bush “staying the course,” he will not give in. He can be forced, or his hand can be forced, but at this point, neither Congress nor his party wants to be so firm. Eventually, the public will demand it and we can look forward to a furious Bush, his mangy dog, Stepford wife and sluttish daughters escaping to his new hideaway to the south while millions cheer and the neocons jam onto the next El Al flight for their promised land. No extraditions ever possible for them and joy all around at the huge deposits of looted public funds that will soon be resting in Tel Aviv bank vaults.

During his two terms in office, Bush has been treated generously by the American media. Now, however, the sharks are beginning to feed. Why are they doing this? Because it is becoming increasingly obvious that the President is not going to pay attention to anyone who expresses ideas he does not like. He does not intend to withdraw any troops from Iraq and in point of fact, is trying his best to send more there. In his childish imagination, Bush somehow thinks that more soldiers equates to a powerful military force that than beat the resistance movements in Iraq and permit him to make a face-saving withdrawal. That absolutely no one but Bush and Karl Rove believe this is now becoming painfully obvious to everyone in the United States. Bush does not seem to realize that the crushing defeat of his people in the mid-terms is a direct reflection on his policies. Bush is a nut and he actually believes he is not only above the law but is the law! Eventually, as Congress, the military, the courts and the public realize that George is six sandwiches short of a picnic, he will be told to get out.

This will be polite and reasoned at first but Bush will ignore their pleadings. The next step will be for a reluctant Congress to impeach him. No, this is not some silly crap from a bunch of airhead bloggers but reality. Watch the media coverage and listen to the growing chorus of anger from every quarter and you will all realize right where we are headed. Bush will not budge one inch from his entrenched position so eventually he will have to be forced out of office and into early retirement. He can live with his sluttish daughters and Stepford wife in Paraguary and hope no sniper is up in a nearby tree waiting for him to come outside and fondle the goats.

The Titanic has struck her iceberg and is going down, slowly, into the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. The mid-term elections were the iceberg and the Bush administration is the Titanic. At least the Titanic’s Captain E.J. Smith went down with his ship but in the present case, George W. Bush, has no intention of going down at all. There are many, many rumors, most from high level people here, that the Bush family is negotiating to purchase nearly 100,000 acres in Paraguay, in close proximity to an off-limits (to news people) Paraguayan military base, where the Paraguay government has exempted our troops, consisting of certain Special Forces designed to operate against Venezuela, from prosecution for any alleged war crimes they might commit in projected military actions against the hated Chavez. Paraguay is further south of Venezuela and fomenting action there is not as obvious as the recently bumbled CIA operations intended to assassinate Chavez and headquartered in eastern Columbia. A number of top-level militant far right Bush officials have resigned (Cambone from DoD and Bolton from the U.N.) and there are more to come. There is also serious talk about Cheney suddenly resigning “because of recent serious heart problems.” Why? Because it is becoming well known here that the new Congress is, without question, going to start very serious investigations into the actions of some of these people after January 1st, 2007, and it is more than possible that criminal indictments could follow in their wake.

It is interesting to consider that if Bush is brought up on impeachment proceedings (something more and more discussed and very seriously) and Cheney “took sick,” the Speaker of the House would be next in line for the Presidency. This now is more or less an in joke but in fact it could work out.

There is also a glut of information floating about on the killing, by radioactive material, of a former KGB operative who was living in London. Although the Putin-hating Cheney and his friends have been salting the media with strong hints that Russian President Vladimir Putin was somehow responsible for this, the truth is far more interesting.

All of this goes back to the days following the breakup of the former Soviet Union. Russia is possessed of a huge amount of natural resources, most important, natural gas and oil. Under the Communists, these resources were badly managed but after Gorbachev left power, Yeltsin, a good friend of the C.I.A. came to power and immediately de-nationalized the oil and gas.

Those who successfully bid for it was a gang of Russian street thugs, extortionists, drug dealers, counterfeiters, pimps and conmen. These men were all Jewish and they had very good connections both in Israel and in the United States with their co-religionists. The plan, as is now known but never, never talked about, was for this group to buy up the privatized resources using money obtained from outside the country and then sell off controlling interests in it to western and Israeli companies.

The Bank of New York, owned by an Israeli citizen and the World Bank and IMF, through the good offices of fellow co-religionists, put up the money and the group, later known as the Oligarchy, threatened any possible bidder with death and soon was in control of the entire system. They took in huge payments from foreign banks and firms, stuffed their pockets and Swiss and Israeli bank accounts but before their new partners could grab control, Putin came to power and quickly, and very quietly, put a stop to what amounted to a wholesale theft of Russia’s valuable natural resources. Putin, an ex-KGB Lt. Colonel, moved to re-nationalize the assets, driving out the Oligarchs and seizing their money in the process. As a result of this, there were many very unhappy people, not the least of which were Israeli and American business concerns.

So much for the background.

Keep this in mind and also be informed that anti-Semitism has long been rampant in Russia. It existed long before Stalin and exists today. Most Russians simply detest Jews of any kind and the fact that Stalin, who in spite of being a terrible anti-Semite, staffed his secret police and prison system with Russian Jews because they hated the Christian Russians who had persecuted them for centuries.

The man involved here, one Alexander Litvinenko, who just died in Britain of radiation poisoning, was a former KGB agent, He had been a critic of anti-Semitism in the Russian security services and the former KGB spy had written a book ‘The FSB Blows up Russia’ in which he’d condemned the latent anti-Semitism within Russian’s Federal Security Service. He was very closely connected with the former Oligarchs who were eager to regain their former empires if and when Putin left office in 2008.

Litvinenko had just traveled to Israel a few weeks before his death, to pass on a dossier on how the Kremlin took over the Russian energy giant Yukos. Litvinenko, who was Jewish, passed the dossier to Leonid Nevzlin, the former second in command at Yukos. Mr Nevzlin fled to Tel Aviv because he feared for his life after Russia took over the control of the oil giant.

Another contact of Litvinenko was Boris Berezovsky whose London home and office were this week found to be contaminated with the radioactive substance. Berezovsky had apparently met Litvinenko after the former spy allegedly refused an order to assassinate him.

There is no question that the former KGB agent was poisoned but by whom and why is not known. It is not believed by British investigators that the Putin government was involved and it is felt that it more than likely that some Byzantine plotting among the former Oligarchs is to blame.

Consider that Mikhail Khodorkovsky, former head of Yukos, is now in one of Putin’s jails and that the other Oligarchs were deposed and run out of Russia and one has ample motive for continuing plots and counter plots. One of my informants has told me that these Oligarchs have been attempting to deal with the Bush people but now that the President is effectively neutered, they are looking elsewhere, probably among prominent Democrats, to seek a return to power. The huge oil companies who would have been greatly enriched if the Oligarchs had been successful, are not longer at the table and will more than likely be squeezed by the Democrats for their fierce support of Bush.

The Bush administration and its strong supporters in the oil industry have long loathed Putin for his dastardly successes in rescuing his countries’ natural resources from outside influences but with the power change in Washington, both Israel and her Oligarch citizens have diminished hopes of reviving their dreams of capturing Russian oil and gas.

The main topic of conversation both here in the White House and inside the Beltway is the looming disaster in Iraq. In spite of what Tony Snow and Bush say, Iraq is deep in a vicious civil war between two bitter religious enemies; the Sunnis and the Shiites.

Anyone who reads the National Geographic is aware of these ancient and bloody feuds but apparently Bush and his Likud friends were not when they created a huge disaster by removing Hussein and his control over both sides. In the first place, Bush was determined to have his war for as number of reasons.

The first was to give the finger to his father , the second to please his oilmen family friends by grabbing control over the largest known reserves of the world’s oil and lastly, to accommodate his Israeli-controlled Neocon supporters.

That he has utterly failed in all three areas seems to have eluded him and poor Karl Rove is absolutely certain that the American people will realize their terrible mistake in throwing out the Republicans and will vote them back into power again so they can rape, loot, pillage and reestablish a new police state in 2008.

There have been strong rumors here of a CIA-sponsored military putsch in Iraq with the idea of establishing a military dictatorship that would be friendly to Bush and his people (but certainly not the evil Democrats) but events in Iraq have erupted with such violence that a coup is probably not possible. All we can do to prevent a huge loss of U.S. military life is to withdraw as soon as possible. Once the two bloody factions have butchered each other in a quest for absolute control of Iraq, they will immediately turn on us with a great fury and at this point in time, they are heavily armed and there will be no stopping them.

The potential for a regional war involving (possibly) Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia is certainly not out of the question.

But Bush will not budge one inch on this. It is his last and desperate attempt to hold on to his created manhood and he is psychologically incapable from retreating.

Unfortunately, Bush has the nuclear football and can launch whatever military action he wants, without any oversight from Congress or the military and given this, and the magnitude of the storm he has created, and coupled with his obvious fury at losing control of Congress, it would be better for all of us if he either voluntarily left the White House before his term is up in 2008 or was removed from the levers of power (and the suitcase with the nuclear launch codes) by those more sensible than himself.
