I read an article similar to this several years ago and this one is a
trip......Have you read this before?
Note: This article first appeared as a post written by myself at Free
Republic in late 2000. I was surprised to learn that it was copied
re-posted at dozens of sites around the world. So, it seems only fitting
that the article (with some updating) should re-appear here on my own web
site.
FAKE TERROR -
THE ROAD TO WAR AND DICTATORSHIP
It's the oldest trick in the book, dating back to Roman times; creating
the enemies you need.
In 70 BC, an ambitious minor politician and extremely wealthy man, Marcus
Licineus Crassus, wanted to rule Rome. Just to give you an idea of what
sort of man Crassus really was, he is credited with invention of the fire
brigade. But in Crassus' version, his fire-fighting slaves would race to
the scene of a burning building whereupon Crassus would offer to buy it on
the spot for a tiny fraction of it's worth. If the owner sold, Crassus'
slaves would put out the fire. If the owner refused to sell, Crassus
allowed the building to burn to the ground. By means of this device,
Crassus eventually came to be the largest single private land holder in
Rome, and used some of his wealth to help back Julius Caesar against
Cicero.
In 70 BC Rome was still a Republic, which placed very strict limits on
what Rulers could do, and more importantly NOT do. But Crassus had no
intentions of enduring such limits to his personal power, and contrived a
plan. Crassus seized upon the slave revolt led by Spartacus in order to
strike terror into the hearts of Rome, whose garrison Spartacus had already
defeated in battle. But Spartacus had no intention of marching on Rome
itself, a move he knew to be suicidal. Spartacus and his band wanted
nothing to do with the Roman empire and had planned from the start merely
to loot enough money from their former owners in the Italian countryside to
hire a mercenary fleet in which to sail to freedom.
Sailing away was the last thing Crassus wanted Spartacus to do. He needed
a convenient enemy with which to terrorize Rome itself for his personal
political gain. So Crassus bribed the mercenary fleet to sail without
Spartacus, then positioned two Roman legions in such a way that Spartacus
had no choice but to march on Rome. Terrified of the impending arrival of
the much-feared army of gladiators, Rome declared Crassus Praetor. Crassus
then crushed Spartacus' army and even though Pompey took the credit,
Crassus was elected Consul of Rome the following year.
With this maneuver, the Romans surrendered their Republican form of
government. Soon would follow the first Triumvirate, consisting of Crassus,
Pompeii, and Julius Caesar, followed by the reign of the god-like Emperors
of Rome. The Romans were hoaxed into surrendering their Republic, and
accepting the rule of Emperors.
Julius Caesar's political opponent, Cicero, for all his literary
accomplishments, played the same games in his campaign against Julius
Caesar, claiming that Rome was falling victim to an internal "vast right
wing" conspiracy in which any expressed desire for legislative limits on
government was treated as suspicious behavior. Cicero, in order to
demonstrate to the Romans just how unsafe Rome has become hired thugs to
cause as much disturbance as possible, and campaigned on a promise to end
the internal strife if elected and granted extraordinary powers.
What Cicero only dreamed of, Adolph Hitler succeeded in doing. Elected
Chancellor of Germany, Hitler, like Crassus, had no intention of living
with the strict limits to his power imposed by German law. Unlike Cicero,
Hitler's thugs were easy to recognize; they all wore the same brown shirts.
But their actions were no different than those of their Roman predecessors.
They staged beatings, set fires, caused as much trouble as they could,
while Hitler made speeches promising that he could end the crime wave of
subversives and terrorism if he was granted extraordinary powers. Then the
Reichstag burned down; a staged terrorist attack. The Germans were hoaxed
into surrendering their Republic, and accepting the total rule of Der
Fuhrer.
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 Philippines (and
annexing Hawaii <http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/HAWAII/hawaii.html>
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 Spartacus 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 Spartacus. 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. <http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/6315/pearl.html> 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" sonar man 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
<http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ARTICLE5/april.html> 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 a public relations firm
which has grown rich on taxpayer money by being most industrious and
creative liars! The PR firm 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 photo (right) of Fikret Alic
staring through a barbed wire fence, was used to "prove" the existence of
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
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".
<http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/OK/wtcbomb.html> 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!

<http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/OK/TRUCK/TRUCK2.gif>
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 Spartacus
approaches. Remember that when thugs in the streets act in a manner clearly
designed to provoke the public fear. Remember that when the Reichstag burns
down.

President Lyndon Johnson wanted a war in Vietnam. He wanted it to hel=
p 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. A=
nd most of all, he needed a provocation to convince the American peopl=
e 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 &n=
bsp;the Gulf of Tonkin. The official story was that North Vietnamese torpedo=
boats launched an "unprovoked attack" on the USS Maddox whi=
le it was on "routine patrol". The truth is that USS M=
addox was involved in aggressive intelligence gathering in coordinatio=
n with actual attacks by South Vietnam and the Laotian Air Force again=
st targets in North Vietnam. The truth is also that there was no attac=
k by torpedo boats against the USS Maddox. Captain John J. Herrick, th=
e task force commander in the Gulf, cabled Washington DC that the repo=
rt was the result of an "over-eager" sonar man who had picked &nbs=
p;up the sounds of his own ship's screws and panicked. But even with this &n=
bsp;knowledge that the report was false, Lyndon Johnson went on national TV =
that night to announce the commencement of air strikes against North &=
nbsp;Vietnam, "retaliation" for an attack that had never occurred.=
<BR>
<BR>
President George Bush wanted a war in Iraq. Like Crassus, Georg=
e Bush is motivated by money. Specifically oil money. But with the OPE=
C alliance failing to keep limits on oil production in the Mideast, th=
e market was being glutted with oil pumped from underneath Iraq, which=
sat over roughly 1/3 of the oil reserves of the entire region. <BR>
<BR>
George wanted a war to stop that flow of oil, to keep prices (and &nb=
sp;profits) from falling any further than they already had. But like R=
oosevelt, he needed the "other side" to make the first move.  =
;Iraq had long been trying to acquire greater access to the Persian Gu=
lf, and felt limited confined a narrow strip of land along Kuwait's no=
rthern border, which placed Iraqi interests in close proximity with ho=
stile Iran. George Bush, who had been covertly arming Iraq during its =
war with Iran, sent word via April Glaspie <a href=3D"http://www.whatrea=
llyhappened.com/ARTICLE5/april.html"><http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/A=
RTICLE5/april.html></a> 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 s=
ons and daughters to risk their lives for petroleum products. So Georg=
e Bush arranged a hoax, using a public relations firm which has grown =
rich on taxpayer money by being most industrious and creative liars! T=
he PR firm concocted a monumental fraud in which the daughter of the K=
uwaiti Ambassador to the United States, went on TV pretending to be a =
nurse, and related a horror story in which Iraqi troops looted the inc=
ubators from a Kuwaiti hospital, leaving the premature babies on the c=
old 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 s=
tory, Americans supported operation Desert Storm, which never removed =
Saddam Hussein from power but which did take Kuwait's oil off of the m=
arket for almost 2 years and limited Iraq's oil exports to this very d=
ay. That our sons and daughters came home with serious and lingering m=
edical illnesses was apparently not too great a price to pay for incre=
ased oil profits. <BR>
<BR>
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 photo (right) of=
Fikret Alic staring through a barbed wire fence, was used to "pr=
ove" the existence of modern day "Concentration Camps". As &n=
bsp;the headline of "Belsen 92" indicates, all possible associatio=
ns with the Nazi horrors were made to sell the necessity of sending ye=
t more American troops into someone else's nation. <BR>
<BR>
But when German Journalists went to Trnopolje, the site of the =
supposed Concentration Camp. to film a documentary, they discovered that &nb=
sp;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 &n=
bsp;examination of the original photo revealed that the photographer had sho=
t 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 re=
fugees. Once again, Americans had been hoaxed into support of actions =
they might otherwise not have agreed with. <BR>
<BR>
While several American Presidents have willingly started wars for &nb=
sp;personal purposes, perhaps no President has ever carried it to the extrem=
e that Bill Clinton has. Coincident with the expected public sta=
tement of Monica Lewinsky following her testimony, Bill Clinton ordere=
d a cruise missile attack on Sudan and Afghanistan, claiming to have h=
ad irrefutable proof that bogeyman extraordinaire (and former Afghani =
ally) Osama Bin Ladin was creating terrorist chemical weapons there. &=
nbsp;<BR>
<BR>
Examination of the photos of the debris revealed none of the ex=
pected structures one would find in a laboratory that handled lethal &=
nbsp;weapons-grade materials. Assurances from the CIA that they had a positi=
ve soil test for biological weapons fell on their face when it was rev=
ealed that there had been no open soil anywhere near the pre-bombed fa=
cility. Sudan requested that international observers come test the rem=
ains of the factory for any signs of the nerve gas Clinton had insiste=
d was there. None was found. The Sudanese plant was a harmless aspirin=
factory, and the owner has sued for damages.<BR>

Meanwhile, back in Kosovo, stories about genocide and atrocities were=
flooding the media (in time to distract from the Sudanese embarrassme=
nts), just as lurid and sensational and as it turns out often just as =
fictional as most of William Randolph Hearst's stories of atrocities a=
gainst the Cubans. Again, the government and the media were hoax=
ing Americans. The above photo was shown on all the American networks,=
claiming to be one of Slobodan Milosovic's Migs, shot down while atta=
cking civilians. Closer examination (click on the photo) shows it to b=
e stenciled in English! Like Germany under Chancellor Hitler, there ha=
ve 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 th=
e media from witnesses to the TWA 800 shoot down). The media has been =
very quick to blame such events on "radicals", "subvers=
ives", "vast right wing conspiracies", and other "=
enemies in our midst", no different than the lies used by Cicero and &n=
bsp;Hitler. But on closer examination, such "domestic terrorist&q=
uot; 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". <a hre=

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 Roman=
s of Crassus' and Cicero's time, or the Germans under a newly elected =
Hitler, we are being warned that a dangerous enemy threatens us, impla=
cable, invisible, omnipresent, and invulnerable as long as our governm=
ent 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 circumstan=
ces such as those we are purported to face. As was the case in Rome an=
d Germany, the government continues to plead with the public for an ex=
pansion of its power and authority, to "deal with the crisis"=
;. However, as Casio watch timers are paraded before the cameras, to t=
he stentorian tones of the talking heads' constant dire warnings, it i=
s 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 totalitar=
ian rule of a new emperor, or a new Fuhrer? Once lost, the Roman=
s never got their Republic back. Once lost, the Germans never got thei=
r Republic back. In both cases, the nation had to totally collapse bef=
ore freedom was restored to the people. Remember that when Crassus tel=
ls you that Spartacus approaches. Remember that when thugs in the stre=
ets act in a manner clearly designed to provoke the public fear.  =
;Remember that when the Reichstag burns down.=20
