False Flag Operations: Are They The Secret of the Bush Empire?

Comment by Larry Ross, September 12, 2006

 
I have been studying American foreign policy for over 50 years and I think the following article by Barrie Zwicker is one of the most disturbing I have ever read on this subject. The possible implications are disastrous for all humanity if things are allowed to go on as indicated. I know some people will reject the article and it's revelations and conclusions may be thought "preposterous conspiracy nut ravings". All I can do is request that people persevere and finish reading the article. Then hopefully continue researching the subject and evaluating the evidence.  It certainly is one of the most important we have ever reprinted. It shows the method many governments have used since the 1600s to mobilize their populations to support their leaders in making war on nations it chooses as enemies when there is no cause for war. I will comment on it's revelations.
 
The article also shows how the most diabolically evil or deluded leaders, such as Adolph Hitler, can get the loyalty, participation and even love of their people for his endless wars and conquests. Hitler's wars killed 50 million people, because his own people believed in, or meekly followed his evil orders.
A key incident that unleashed Hitler was the Nazis 'false flag' operation in burning down the Reichstag and blaming foreign terrorists.
George Bush's "war on terror" is just starting, as he said in his speech on Sept 12. But with some 250,000 already killed in his phoney war on  Iraq he is unlikely to stop. Bush claims he will make 'war on terrorism' as long as it takes. In other words endless wars for "civilization" as Bush justifies it in his speech,
 
Wicker gives evidence on how the Bush Administration has used this technique and developed a secret, self-enclosed, self-perpetuating and self-justifying system to create and make "wars on terror". It literally creates enemies out of peaceful people and states, who were otherwise friendly toward the United States. For example, after the 9/11 attacks everyone loved the U.S. and wanted to help find and punish the culprits. That goodwill has been almost totally dissipated or reversed by Bush's actions, statements and completely phoney wars on terror, such as his mass bombing, invasion and occupation of Iraq followed by his imprisonment, shaming and torture of Iraqis at Al Grain prison in Iraq.
 
Bush & Co choose a country they will demonize as enemies.  The following False Flag article shows, that they then stage real terrorist incidents, such as the 9/11 attacks in New York. Bush then blames it on 'terrorists' of a certain race, colour and religion. He then justifies making war on countries containing people of similar colour, race or religion. He blames them for sponsoring or aiding these terrorists. After falsely accusing Saddam Hussein of having links with terrorists, being involved with the 9/11 attack and having nuclear and other WMD to attack the U.S. Bush began his war on Iraq. However it was found that Bush's accusations were nothing but a litany of lies to justify making war. Even when the lies were exposed, he and his 'coalition-of-the-willing' allies , have carried on their illegal war and have killed an estimated 250,000 people so far. This is called a "False Flag" or covert operation because the 9/11 triggering 'Pearl Harbour' incident blamed on foreign terrorists, was actually initiated by the Bush Administration and it's agents.
 
That is a self-perpetuating formula. It is also self-fulfilling because it also sparks hostile reactions or resistance from it's chosen victims. That is a bonus for the Bush regime and supporters in the U.S. and elsewhere. It is depicted as proof of Bush's 'terrorism' accusations. Their well-designed war propaganda and Public Relations campaigns by highly-paid experts is designed to fool people. The purpose is to create false enemies and sell people on accepting a particular world-view and sequence of actions designed to deal with this world-view. It works and many people are simply fooled by Bush's "false flag" operations, pro-war propaganda and the incredible, frightening events that are taking place.
 
Any active resistance to Bush's illegal wars is called "terrorist". It is then used as proof of the validity of Bush's deliberately created phantasy world of terrorists or potential terrorists anywhere including in the U.S.A. Like all paranoid systems, Bush claims "If you are not with us, you're against us".
Thus he gives his regime a license to suppress, oppress and otherwise act against any domestic dissenters of doubters. The 'Patriot' laws are one example of how Bush discourages and suppresses dissent. More such laws are expected.
 
Bush is the most powerful man in the world, and Commander-in-Chief of multiple forces, nuclear weapons and delivery systems. His new nuclear doctrines allow the President to wage pre-emptive nuclear war against any nation he suspects might be preparing to attack the U.S. Also, the U.S. has now allowed itself to introduce the use of nuclear weapons in circumstances decided by the President and his generals. Bush's has a carefully chosen regime of like-minded people and generals. They are capable of destroying our world many times over. Those people who openly dissent or expose Bush's lies and evil techniques, are quickly outlawed by the system and the media.
 
It's like having the evil and deluded Rev Jim Jones of the Jonesville massacre, now in charge of the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world.
 
The media has a key role, perhaps in some cases unwitting, in repeating Bush's every lie, and usually not printing or broadcasting any dissent. The media seem to act as cheerleaders for every new development, and faithfully report Bush's version of  events. Other views just don't seem to get significant coverage. Even the publicly-owned TV and Radio system in New Zealand, falls into line and mainly broadcasts the Bush "war on terrorism" version of events.
 
A few small examples of media bias and suppression of criticism were in Christchurch New Zealand recently. The Peace Action Network (PAN) organised a demonstration with speakers and a peace walk against disproportionate Israeli military action and destruction of Lebanon and for a just peace in the Middle East. It was specifically not anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic. The local Christchurch Press was well-informed with a Press release about this event. But there was no word of this event or the release in the Christchurch Press, on local TV or on the publicly-funded radio.
 
Another event was my forthcoming lecture tour of New Zealand starting in Christchurch Sept 11, 2006 with a public lecture. The tour featured exposure of some of Bush lies and deceitful methods about his Iraq war and possible War on Iran. It also featured the advantages of Keeping New Zealand Nuclear Free. I gave the Press a Tour poster and invited them to phone me for interviews. But there was no response or coverage in the Press about this public lecture and tour. This lack of response is consistent with their rejection of my last 6 letters-to- the-editor giving my dissenting views and some the facts about Bush's wars and lies.  In the past, during the 1980's when I was campaigning and touring for a Nuclear Free New Zealand, they were much more co-operative. They often printed my letters and press release. This small example shows how, even in New Zealand, the overseas-owned media, such as the Christchurch Press, favours Bush's world view and U.S. "wars on terror" policy and suppresses opposing views. The Press policy of keeping the local population in a bubble of ignorance about the real actions and objectives of the Bush Administration, will make it much easier for a new more right wing government to restore defence links with the US, and nuclear warship visits to New Zealand ports.
 
The Bush formula has worked so far, because few people believe that the most powerful government in the world could be so evil as to commit such crimes against their own people and others, or create such an edifice of lies. People find it difficult to believe that such an evil scheme would have so many American participants, and supporters. However I suggest that such people study the large body of evidence which supports the above analysis and draw their own conclusions. Also, the Rev. Jim Jones mass deception massacre and the similar incidents in Japan and elsewhere, as well as the amazing success of Hitler's lies and wars, show that such incidents in human history, can and do happen. People are amazingly gullible. Most don't doubt what are presented to them by the media as authoritative facts.
 
The magic formula to expose, halt and reverse this madness before it destroys all of us, is a really serious well-funded campaign to educate Americans and the world about the lies, crimes, delusions and grandiose plans of George Bush and his Neoconservative administration.
 Much is already being done by many dedicated individuals and groups in the U.S.A. and elsewhere. But blanket media suppression of criticism means  few hear or heed them
 
There may not be much time left before the Bush Regime creates an excuse for their next war, probably against Iran. New Patriot-type laws, martial law and conscription could then halt and suppress any dissent. Concerned people should act now as tomorrow may be too late.
 
A new campaign would need many more dedicated people in the U.S. and other countries, to create effective advertisements and articles that tell the truth about these extraordinary and world-threatening developments. Many effective educators and lecturers are needed to spread the truth. The funds required to make it work will have to be found.  It also requires top people and celebrities to lobby for the truth, and not be afraid to speak out. The U.S. Senate, Congress and other U.S. authorities should command George Bush to stand down from their positions, and command their "false flag" staff to cease their operations. The U.S. Armed Forces should be ordered to stop their war-making and take a defensive position only, in line with their sworn mandate. Procedures for impeachment of Bush and other war criminals, and new elections in the U.S. and other necessary procedures can then be implemented.
 
It is the financial commitment of educated and dedicated people, that will make this campaign effective in halting the massive Bush juggernaut.

False Flag Operations: Declassified Military Documents Show How
US Government Planned Terrorist Attacks Against its Own Citizens

September 7th, 2006 – As reported by ABC News, stunning military documents codenamed "Operation Northwoods" were declassified in recent years and show how in 1962, the top US military leaders planned an operation to create terror attacks against its own cities and kill US citizens. See: http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662&page=1

The documents state that through the fabrication of false evidence, the US would blame Cuba and gain public support for an unpopular war against Castro. They included developing a fake Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, the use of airplanes, and much more.

For further details, the now declassified military documents are available at the National Security Archive of the George Washington University: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/

In his newly published book "Towers of Deception – The Media Cover-Up of 9/11," Barrie Zwicker, writes about Operation Northwoods and many other such operations that the military and intelligence community refer to as "false flag operations." http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/3932

Zwicker is a lifelong journalist who was a media critic for 35 years and who often appeared on Canadian national TV and radio.

His book explains that these covert operations are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities, such as other countries or terrorist groups, to help demonize them and justify wars for geopolitical reasons and for financial gains.

The term "false flag" is derived from the naval warfare concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own.

The ABC News article dated May 1, 2001 explains that Operation Northwoods was approved and signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Eisenhower appointee Army General Lyman L. Lemnitzer, and was presented to Kennedy's Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962.
