The "War of Terror" –

a Zionist deception to control America

by Christopher Bollyn
10 April 2007

The "war on terror" is a fraud and dangerous threat to the American people
and republic.

It is nothing more than a Zionist deception that has been used to manipulate the
U.S. military to wage war on Israel's behalf while imposing a centralized
police command under the guise of "homeland security" throughout the United
States.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress have been bickering recently about using the
phrase "global war on terror" in the 2008 budget for expenditures of untold billions of
dollars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

"Tell Bush and Blair that our marketing tests

showed that 92% of Goys react favorably to
the phrase War on Terror, whereas War on
Al-Qaeda and Defend the Motherland were
nearly useless."

Democrats say they are tired of the Bush administration's use of the blanket term "war on
terror" to justify huge budgets for non-specific military operations.

Erin Conaton, the Democratic staff director of the House Armed Services Committee,
urged aides in a March 27 memo to "avoid using colloquialisms," such as the term
"global war on terrorism." The staff was directed to be more specific when preparing the
2008 defense authorization bill.

The "global war on terror," a phrase first used by President George W. Bush shortly after
the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, should not be used, the memo said.

Staff members were directed to use specific references, such as "the war in Iraq," the
"war in Afghanistan, "operations in the Horn of Africa," or "ongoing military operations
throughout the world."

"This is a philosophical and political question," the GOP aide told the Military Times.
"Republicans generally believe that by fighting the war on terror in Iraq, we are
preventing terrorists from spreading elsewhere and are keeping them engaged so they are
not attacking us at home."

Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), the committee chairman, defended banning the terms saying
in a statement that the Republicans' "objections to our efforts to clarify legislative
language represent the typical Republican leadership attempt to tie together the
misadventure in Iraq and the overall war against terrorists.

"The Iraq war is separate and distinct from the war against terrorists, who have their
genesis in Afghanistan and who attacked us on 9/11, and the American people understand
this," Skelton said.

WHAT IS THE "WAR ON TERROR?"

Although it's hard to say what the "American people" understand, it is very clear that
Skelton does not understand who is really behind 9/11 and the "war on terror."

What the "American people" understand about the nebulous and fraudulent "war on
terror" is difficult to gauge, but judging from the disinformation provided by the mass
media, it appears that there is widespread ignorance about what it is and who is behind it.

Although 9/11 and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have drastically changed
the way Americans live and think, there is no evidence, in the media or elsewhere, to
suggest that "the American people" understand what the "war on terror" is, against whom
or how its being fought, or who provides the information that decision makers like Rep.
Skelton rely on.

The incredible scenes of destruction at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,
witnessed by millions of television viewers, profoundly affected the sense of peace and
security that Americans have long enjoyed.

Creating a radical change in how Americans viewed the world was clearly one of the
goals, perhaps the ultimate purpose, of the architectural-level planners of the 9/11
attacks. "Interpreting" what 9/11 meant to Americans is where Israeli "experts" on
terrorism and the Zionist-controlled media played the key roles.

One month after 9/11, for example, Newsweek's Arlene Getz interviewed Shabtai Shavit,
the former director of Israel's Mossad. "It may sound dramatic," Shavit said, "but life in
America is not going to be the same as it used to be before Sept. 11."

Getz had asked Shavit what advice he would give to Americans who, after 9/11, faced
"the kind of uncertainty that Israelis have lived with for years?"

"That’s a good question," Shavit said. "It has to do with how you convince your people
and how you educate them to an entirely new situation [in] the United States. It may
sound dramatic, but life in America is not going to be the same as it used to be before
Sept. 11. In order to be able to go on living, you have to be aware of the fact that you are
going to have to give up some of your formal liberties, and you have to be ready to give
up some of your pleasantries and conveniences."

Shavit, who joined the Mossad in 1964, is the chairman of the Institute for Counter-
Terrorism at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, Israel. The IDC is "Mossad
University" where colleges and programs are named after wealthy U.S. Zionists like
Samuel Zell, Ronald Lauder, and Marc Rich who sponsor and fund the university tied to
Israeli intelligence.

Marc Rich was born Marc David
Reich.

An Israeli politician helped pressure

President Clinton into pardoning Marc
Rich, as explained in this Washington
Post article.

Lewis "Scooter" Libby also helped

protect him, as explained in this
Washington Post article.

Sam Zell, for example, the new owner of Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs, The
Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, and a host of mass media properties,
sponsors the Zell Entrepreneurship Program for 20 specially chosen Israeli students at
the IDC.

Shavit's prediction has indeed become reality. Burdened with two costly and
disastrous wars and an increasingly intrusive Department of Homeland Security, it is
safe to say that most Americans would prefer a return to the way things used to be
rather than to continue to live under the constant fear and insecurity the mass media
has subjected the nation to since 9/11.
Shabtai Shavit was Director General of the
Mossad from 1989 to 1996.

He is now a member of the New York City Fire

Department Task Force for Future
Preparedness Against Terrorism, among other
programs, as mentioned here.

Shavit and senior level officers in the Mossad and Israeli military intelligence clearly
had prior knowledge of the events of 9/11:

ENDING THE "WAR ON TERROR"

In order to liberate our nation from the burdensome "war of terror," which has been
the main focus and preoccupation of the Bush administration, it is essential that we
understand what this "war" really is and who is actually behind it.

To free ourselves from the tyranny of the "war on terror," we need to do more than
eliminate it as a phrase in the defense budget; we need to inform ourselves and
understand the falsehoods and deception upon which this fraud is based.

Exposing the fraud behind the "war on terror" is much more than an academic
exercise; this is a matter of vital importance for the citizens – and the future of the
republic. The American way of life and our constitutional freedoms are threatened by
the "homeland security" apparatus that was established as a response to 9/11 and
which continues to grow in size and power.

A FALSE CONSTRUCT

The so-called "war on terror" is a false and artificial construct that has been designed
by Zionist right-wing extremists from the highest levels of the Israeli government and
military. It is based on a series of "false flag" terror attacks which began in the
1990s, including the first bombing of the World Trade Center, the bombing of the
Oklahoma federal building, and attacks on U.S. targets abroad.

A brief video introduction to false flag operation is at the top of this page:
HowToHelp.html

The "war on terror" concept is the cornerstone of an agenda that has been actively
promoted and articulated since the mid-1980s by Benjamin Netanyahu, the former
right-wing prime minister of Israel.

The "war on terror" is, in fact, the Israeli-designed war for the United States to
engage in as a response to a string of "false flag" terror attacks that culminated with
the destruction of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. It is meant to create
fear and hatred for Islam and bring the armies of the western "democracies" into the
Middle East to defeat and control the enemies of Israel.

Today, Americans are unduly burdened with this fraudulent "war on terror," which
has been foisted on the nation by Mr. Netanyahu and a network of Israeli right-wing
extremists and their sponsors and supporters in the United States.

Both the U.S.-led military invasions overseas and domestic security state apparatus
were planned long before 9/11. These radical changes have been "interpreted" and
explained to the American people by the Zionist-controlled media.

Corrupt or gullible government officials have been spoon-fed the fraudulent Zionist
explanations and agenda, which are based on an utterly false "interpretation" of 9/11.
Senior government and military officials have accepted this foreign agenda without
even demanding to see the evidence or putting it through a critical examination.

While there is abundant evidence that Israeli intelligence agencies were involved in
the terror attacks of 9/11, this line of investigation is taboo in the Zionist-controlled
mainstream media and so-called "truth movement."
Rather than calling for a rigorous and independent investigation of the facts and
evidence, senior government officials and the controlled media have accepted and
promoted an unproven fairy tale in which the culprits are all Arabs and Moslems.

Five years later, the same Israeli politicians and intelligence officials who interpreted
9/11 for the U.S. government and media are now controlling the discussion about
how the United States should respond to future threats of terrorism.

Shabtai Shavit, for example, and senior Israeli military intelligence officers are still
informing and guiding the U.S. response, the so-called "war on terror."

"Step this way to

the War on Terror!"

WHOSE AGENDA IS IT?

The recent "Report of the Future of Terrorism Task Force" to Michael Chertoff, the
Israeli-American Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
illustrates how the agenda of Israel's military intelligence agencies has effectively
become the agenda of the United States government. The report, which took 5
months to produce, was published on January 25, 2007.

Link to the PDF file:

www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/hsac-future-terrorism-010107.pdf

When it comes to the Middle East, the U.S. military and intelligence agencies have
depended on Israeli information for decades. The Future of Terrorism Task Force,
part of the Homeland Security Advisory Council, is no different.

The task force consults with and is informed by "key subject matter experts." The
most obvious heavy hitters among the terrorism "experts" are two Israeli generals,
namely Yosef "Yossi" Kuperwasser and Yisrael Ziv of something called
Comprehensive Security Transformation or "CST International."

CST is apparently an informal troika of Kuperwasser, Ziv, and Brigadier General

Amos Ben-Avraham, a veteran of the army's elite Sayeret Matkal unit. CST provides
"unique, comprehensive and tailored responses to evolving terror threats," according
to its webpage.

Oddly enough, although more than 3,200 American soldiers have died in Iraq in the
so-called "war on terror," not one U.S. military official participated in the production
of this report.

The key "finding" of the "Future of Terrorism" report is that "there is every indication
that the number and magnitude of attacks on the United States, its interests and its
allies will likely increase." Everything else in the report follows from this dire
assumption.

BRIG. GEN. YOSSI KUPERWASSER

Brigadier General Yossi
Kuperwasser is the former
deputy chief of the intelligence
branch of the Israeli military
(AMAN) and former head of its
research department, which
serves as the national assessor of
intelligence.

The Israeli military's research department works closely with the Mossad (foreign)
and Shabak (internal) intelligence agencies. Currently he is a Charles Bronfman
fellow at the Haim Saban Center at the Brookings Institute.

Kuperwasser headed the research department for the Israeli military from June 2001
until June 2006. He was responsible for strategic intelligence and shaping the way
that Israel understood regional developments. Most importantly, Kuperwasser was
responsible for how developments were communicated to U.S. officials.

A brief sample of his work reveals how Kuperwasser has a history of providing false
or misleading information to U.S. officials:

In January 2002, Kuperwasser headed the Israeli delegation that briefed the U.S. on
its findings regarding an alleged Iranian-Palestinian weapons deal involving a ship in
the Red Sea. Large amounts of Iranian weapons were supposedly bound for the Gaza
Strip.

In April 2003, when no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq,

Kuperwasser suggested that they had all been moved to Syria. This ridiculous idea
was widely broadcast in the U.S. controlled media.

In November 2006, Kuperwasser told Canadian media that Iran would be able to
produce a nuclear weapon by March 2007. For good measure he compared Iran with
Nazi Germany.

In December 2006, Kuperwasser told Benny Avni of the New York Sun that the
Lebanese Shi'ite movement Hezbollah "tolerates some Al Qaida presence in Lebanon
and even cooperates with it." He went on to say that "everybody in Lebanon" knows
that Hezbollah is "operating on behalf of Iran."

MAJ. GEN. YISRAEL ZIV

Major General Yisrael Ziv has

hands-on experience with
terrorism.

Ziv, as commander of Israeli

forces in Gaza, has a documented
record of planting bombs in
civilian neighborhoods and
blowing up apartment houses.
In November 2001, the Jerusalem Post reported that Ziv had "been behind the
decision to lay the bomb" that killed five Palestinian schoolboys in Khan Yunis in the
occupied Gaza Strip. Israeli special forces under Ziv's command had laid the bomb
in a civilian area the night before.

The Jerusalem Post article is gone, but the unformatted text is reproduced at the bottom of this page.
Other articles about it are still online, such as here at oznik.com and here at Haaretz.com

In October 2002, his forces fired a missile into a crowd on a dirt road in Khan Yunis,
killing at least 13 civilians. Ziv called it "a very important operation that once again
shows that there is no terror bastion that is safe from our troops."

In September 2003, Ziv planned to kill Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the paraplegic spiritual
leader of Hamas, by dropping a 1,100 lb. bomb on a three-story building in Gaza.
Rather than arrest the sheikh, Ziv decided to bomb the building he lived in. This
attempt failed to kill Yassin.
On March 22, 2004, Israel fired three Hellfire
missiles at the sheikh in his wheelchair, after he
exited a mosque from his morning prayers.

The missiles killed Yassin, his bodyguards, and

8 innocent bystanders.

Ziv was also involved in scores of similar bombings and targeted extra-judicial
killings in which hundreds of innocent Palestinian civilians were killed. When it
comes to terrorism, Ziv certainly has experience.

FUTURE OF TERRORISM REPORT

The "future of terrorism" report to Secretary Michael Chertoff, an Israeli-American,

begins, as one might expect, with a full-color page of the U.S. flag. The 13-page
report, which took 5 months to produce, has three main objectives: to "assess future
threats"; to "fine-tune processes to meet those threats"; and to "recommend how to
better engage and prepare the American public for present and future challenges."

The 21-member task force, headed by Lee Hamilton, includes Elliott Broidy, the
wealthy Zionist billionaire from Los Angeles. James Schlesinger of the MITRE
Corp., the vice chair of the Homeland Security Advisory Council, is also on task
force.
Elliot Broidy held a fundraiser for Republicans at
his house in California in Oct 2006, and President
Bush attended!

He also held a private dinner party for the

American Ballet Theatre at his home. Click here to

James Schlesinger, born in 1929, got into US government in 1969

during the Nixon administration.

He spent time as CIA director, Secretary of Defense, and Secretary

of Energy.

President Carter eventually got rid of him in 1979, and now he

helps companies with ties to Zionism.

Schlesinger's MITRE technology is linked to the events of 9/11 in a number of

significant ways.

"Based upon our work over the past five months," the report began, "members
believe that there is every indication that the number and magnitude of attacks on the
United States, its interests and its allies will likely increase. Like crime or disease,
terrorism should be conceived as a chronic problem requiring a sustained and patient
strategy, with ever evolving tactics."

While "it was not within the purview of the task force to undertake an exhaustive and
in-depth examination of particular threats and the sources from which they emanate,"
the report goes on to say that "the most significant terrorist threat to the homeland
today stems from a global movement, underpinned by a jihadist/Salafist ideology,"
which seeks to "overturn regimes considered to be apostate."

Why any home-grown Middle Eastern movement seeking to overthrow "apostate"

regimes in the Middle East would attack the American "homeland" thousands of
miles from the regimes they are supposedly fighting is not explained. Most
Americans don't even know what is meant by a "jihadist/Salafist ideology."

"Have the marketing people try the phrases

Islamo-Fascist, Muslo-Nazi, and Jihado-
Terrorist"

A CENTRALIZED POLICE FORCE

The report promotes the centralization of the local police departments under the Dept.
of Homeland Security. In order to defend the "homeland" the report calls for creating
a national police force that coordinates state and local forces with DHS:

Although progress has been made in moving towards a goal of a seamless

coordination capability between federal, state and local authorities to ensure
homeland security, there are still gaps in this coordination that must be closed.

The Task Force was encouraged by the Director of Intelligence’s initiative to staff
state fusion centers with DHS analysts. This program will prove to be valuable not
only in information sharing, but educating state and local agencies on what they
should be looking for and reporting.

The report calls for DHS Secretary [Michael Chertoff] to "work directly with state,
local, private sector and community leaders to educate them on the threat of
radicalization, the necessity of taking preventative action at the local level, and to
facilitate the sharing of other nations’ and communities’ best practices.

"As part of these community-based efforts aimed at mutual understanding and

elimination of conditions that allow extremist ideologies to take root, the Secretary
should assume the role of "catalyst" in order to incentivize state and local authorities
to proactively address the potential for radicalization before home-grown terrorism
evolves.

Specifically, the Secretary should actively work directly with Mayors, Governors, and
community [law enforcement] leaders to educate them on the threat of radicalization,
and to share best practices information from communities and other nations that have
aggressively engaged this threat."

Israel is clearly the first among the "other nations that have aggressively engaged this
threat."

Sharing information with the DHS is "a priority" in the centralized police state.
Local authorities will be denied "federal resources" if they refuse to share information
with DHS:

State and local capability to gather, process and share information within local
regions and with the federal government must remain a priority, and should be
developed through an operational partnership with the federal government, ensuring
that training, analytical capability, and resources are consistent and meet the overall
national need.

The Secretary should continue efforts with state and local authorities to build regional
operating capabilities and plans for prevention, protection and response by requiring
DHS components to develop their plans and capabilities in concert with state and
local authorities.
DHS should also make federal resources to state and local authorities contingent upon
regional collaboration.

Americans will be forced to learn more about and prepare for terrorism:
It is critical that the American public become engaged in understanding and preparing
for terrorism. Over the next five years, the public must learn about the choices faced
by the nation, communities, families, and individuals. It must become a partner with
its government, sharing the burden.
Even children and students in school will be taught about responses to terrorism and
extremist threats to the "homeland":
In collaboration with the Department of Education and state and local partners,
consideration should be given to implementing developmentally appropriate
education at the elementary school, high school and college/university levels.
In order to bring this agenda into practice at a national security level, the report calls
for Secretary Chertoff to be named to the National Security Council:
We therefore recommend that consideration be given to fully integrating the domestic
security perspective in the work of the NSC by naming the Secretary of Homeland
Security to the NSC.

from the Jerusalem Post news
article about IDF booby-trap bombs

Paper: Jerusalem Post, The (Israel)

Title: IDF booby trap caused deaths of 5 Gaza children
Date: November 25, 2001

IDF forces laid the bomb that accidentally killed five Palestinian schoolboys in Khan
Yunis on Thursday, the army announced last night.

The IDF had remained silent over the cause of Thursday's deadly explosion except to
say no tank had fired a shell in that sector. OC Gaza Strip Brig.-Gen. Yisrael Ziv is
participating in the inquiry, but he himself may have been behind the decision to lay
the bomb.

It was the first public announcement by the IDF since the deaths of Muhammad al-
Astal, 14, his brother Akram, six, and their cousins Omer, 14, Annis, 10, and Ahmed,
10. The five children were walking to the nearby UN elementary school on Thursday
morning when one of them apparently kicked the device, triggering the explosion.

The five were buried in Khan Yunis on Friday in a funeral attended by more than
10,000 people.

The bodies, wrapped in Palestinian flags and strapped to stretchers, were carried side-
by-side in a procession as gunmen fired in the air. Children carried pictures of their
dead classmates. Masked men wrote slogans on the walls of a mosque, threatening
Israel with revenge.

Idress al-Astal, father of two of the dead children, said no investigation could bring
back his sons. "God will grant me revenge," he said, breaking down in tears.

Military sources said that an IDF special force, acting on instructions from senior
commanders, slipped into area A and laid the bomb. The idea was to set a trap in an
area from which Palestinian gunmen had been repeatedly attacking Jewish
settlements and IDF outposts.

It was a classic anti-guerrilla tactic, but it failed to take into account the possibility
that others - such as children on their way to school - would venture into the area with
tragic results.

"From the moment of the explosion an operational inquiry started examining the
incident," an IDF statement said. "From an initial inquiry by OC Southern Command
Maj.- Gen. Doron Almog, the possibility arises that the children were killed as a
result of playing with a bomb which an IDF force had set in a sandbagged position
that had been used to shoot at and attack our forces." It noted that the position was
not inside any urban area, but in an open field.

"The inquiry is not yet completed, and when it is all the necessary operational lessons
will be drawn," the statement said.

"The IDF Spokesman stresses that the action in the open area was intended against
terrorists and it expresses its regret for the death of the children," the statement said.

Both Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer and the IDF issued official statements
expressing regret for the boys' deaths.

While Ben-Eliezer was sorry for the "human tragedy that took the lives of innocents,"
he stopped short of taking actual responsibility for the explosive device. The defense
minister said the explosion was being investigated.

Israel Radio quoted a high-ranking officer as saying the order to investigate the affair
was a "grave mistake."

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Police chief in Gaza, Brig. Gen. Abdel Razek Majaida,
said the boys appeared to have been killed by a bomb planted by Israeli forces, who
had been seen operating in the area the night before the blast.

"Shrapnel we collected from the area shows that the explosion was caused by an
explosive device," he said.

"Our investigation continues, but it looks as if the device was booby-trapped and
when one of the children kicked it, it exploded."

"We urge an international investigative committee to look into the murder of innocent
children and to determine Israel's responsibility," he added.

On Friday Transportation Minister Ephraim Sneh called on the army to launch a

proper and fair inquiry of the incident, declaring the army's integrity is at stake.

"Someone may have to be punished if he acted improperly or acted with negligence,"

Sneh told Israel Radio, but added that the context of the tragedy is that "there is a
terrorism and guerrilla war being waged against Israel."

Opposition leader Yossi Sarid called on the army to carry out an investigation and
submit its findings this week to determine what was the cause and if action needs to
be taken if misconduct is found. Speaking on Channel 1, he said: "Someone high up
in the army will have to pay with his head. Children killed, whether on our side or
theirs, is not something to be ignored."

Minister without Portfolio Dan Meridor took a similar view.

"If we really made a mistake, I hope we'll tell the truth about it," he said. "The truth is
better than any excuse."

US State Department spokesman Philip Reeker said of the incident: "The United
States deeply regrets the tragic accidental deaths of five Palestinian children... when
they came in contact with unexploded ordnance. It was a terrible tragedy."

"We understand that the Israeli army has begun an investigation into the
circumstances of these deaths and we expect that investigation will thoroughly
determine what happened. This incident... is a strong reminder of why both sides
should do all they can to end the violence, reduce tensions, and resume negotiations,"
he added.
