Strategy of Tension, Necrophilous and Drone Nation

Some highlights:

For students of war, there are many overlapping strategies for the defeat of the enemy. The first tactic is well understood: physical violence between opposing armies.  The second, far more mysterious is psychological warfare. In psychological operations, the target is the mind…the beliefs, motives and ultimately behaviors of entire societies.

Operation Northwoods

James Bamford discovered the Operation North Woods document and included it in his book “Body of Secrets”. In 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved what may be te most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. In the name of anti-Communism, they proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba.

Among the suggestions, a fake hijacking of remote controlled planes to be blamed on Cuba. The blowing up of an American ship also to be blamed on Cuba. And a terror campaign in Florida carried out by anti-Castro exiles to be blamed on Cuba. The most remarkable thing about Operation North Woods itself was that it was approved by every single member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest ranking military officers in the land. Only when it reached the desks of Robert McNamara, and JFK was the plan nixed.

"Conspiracy theory"
 Are we just supposed to sit back and accept outrageous lies and absurd coincidence? Because whoever questions the official stories is labeled a "conspiracy theorist". It's not used against people who ascribe conscious intent to the poor, the middle-class, or third world countries. It's used against anyone who claims the wealthy people in power calculate, collude, organize in conscious pursuit of wealth and power... putting themselves above the law. Yet, these same people who condemn conspiracy theory, create preposterous conspiracy theories without any evidence at all (or created evidence) all the time.

"Conspiracy theory" is the way mass media, government. academics, etc, discredit individuals who apply critical thinking skills. It's a form of propaganda.

“The passionate attraction to all that is dead, decayed, putrid, sickly; it is the passion to transform that which is alive into something unalive; to destroy for the sake of destruction; the exclusive interest in all that’s purely mechanical. It is the passion to tear apart living structures.” – Eric Fromm The Necrophilous Character

School of the Americas

Since 1946, The School of Americas functioned as the primary training ground for the teaching of terrorism. In 2000, the school was closed down only to reopen one month later as the the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSC). The SOA has trained more than 60,000 Latin American soldiers and policemen since 1946 who have been responsible for the worst acts of terrorism in the Western hemisphere within the last 50 years. Among its graduates are notorious dictators, Manuel Noriega of Panama, Leopoldo Galtieri of Argentina, and former Bolivian dictator Hugo Banzer Suárez.

Harvey Point

Described in official reports as an annex to CIA training base, Harvey Point is a lesser known training facility for domestic and foreign intelligence personnel in Virginia. The New York Times reported that Harvey Point trained 18,000 foreign intelligence operatives from 50 different countries. Trained at this facility were, El Salvador's death squads chief, Roberto D'Aubuisson, Egypt's intelligence directorate, Colombian counter insurgency personnel and Arab cadres who later joined Osama Bin Laden's forces fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.

“But what counter-insurgency really comes down to is the protection of the capitalists back in America, their property and their privilege.” – Philip Agee, CIA Diary p.562

Collusion Found Between German Secret Service and Neo-Nazis.

Germany's secret service - Ver­fas­sungss­chutz (VS) - is at the center of a scandal involving a very well armed neo-Nazi terrorist cell operating in Germany since 2000. Last week, it was found that the Ver­fas­sungss­chutz destroyed files containing vital information on  the National Social­ist Underground (NSU), the day before it was supposed to be turned over to federal prosecutors.

The VS was built up after 1955 by Hubert Schrübbers, who had served the Nazi regime as a member of the SA storm troopers and as attorney general. According to Wikipedia, he filled a huge number of posts in the secret service with former members of the SS and its intelligence service, the SD.

 Heinz Fromm, head of the VS has resigned following an investigation initiated by the German judiciary on a series of unsolved murders dating from the period 2000-2010. During the investigations, the investigators have established a connection between the German Secret Service and the terrorist organization "clandestinity National Socialist" (NSU), a neo-Nazi terrorist cell accused of at least 10 murders.

The resignation of Fromm represent the latest chapter of an investigation started by magistrates last November. After careful analysis, the investigators concluded that the secret services were not only aware of the terrorist organization, but at the time of the opening of investigations have conveniently destroyed seven folders containing information provided by the militant neo-Nazi group, used as intelligence informants.

Fromm's resignation will not stop the work of the investigators intending to clarify the links between the NSU and intelligence agencies. Meanwhile, German politicians have spoken out in favor of the former intelligence chief, believed by the majority and the opposition "intact and unconnected with the facts on which the investigations are conducted."

This may be hard to believe, but according to a survey done by the Free University of Berlin, from a sample of 7,500 students over 15 years, 50% do not know who Adolf Hitler was, and, of those who do know, one-third believe he was a protector of human rights!

Operation Gladio was part of a post-World War II program set up by the CIA and NATO:

Funding Sunni Groups In Order to Stifle Shiites?

New Yorker columnist Seymour M. Hersch says the Bush administration is trying to stifle the growth of Shiite influence in the Middle East by funding violent Sunni groups with money that was not authorized by congress.

Iran-Contra, anyone?

The Bush Administration’s reliance on clandestine operations that have not been reported to Congress and its dealings with intermediaries with questionable agendas have recalled, for some in Washington, an earlier chapter in history. Two decades ago, the Reagan Administration attempted to fund the Nicaraguan contras illegally, with the help of secret arms sales to Iran. Saudi money was involved in what became known as the Iran-Contra scandal, and a few of the players back then—notably Prince Bandar and Elliott Abrams—are involved in today’s dealings.
