FAKE TERROR - THE ROAD TO DICTATORSHIP 

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 Phillipines (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 Sparticus 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 
Sparticus. 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 HI) 

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" sonarman 
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 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 public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, which has grown rich on 
taxpayer money by being most industrious and creative liars! Hill & 
Knowlton 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 above photo of Fikret Alic, a Muslim, staring through a barbed wire 
fence, was used to "prove" that the Bosnians were running 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 
Bosnian 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 Sparticus approaches. 

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

Remember that when the Reichstagg burns down.
