Defrauding America

On this Memorial Day, the nation honors the 58,000 dead American soldiers killed in the CIA initiated and directed Vietnam War. The mass media says virtually nothing about the ugly side of that war, in which GI’s were cannon-fodder, and used to protect and escalate the drug trafficking into the United States.

Flag-draped coffins of eight American Servicemen killed in attacks on U.S. military installations in South Vietnam, on February 7, are placed in transport plane at Saigon, February 9, 1965, for return flight to the United States. Funeral services were held at the Saigon Airport with U.S. Ambassador Maxwell D. Taylor and Vietnamese officials attending. # AP

Even in the death GI’s were used by the CIA. An officer heading a group of investigators from the army’s Criminal Investigation Division uncovered a large-scale heroin smuggling scheme. The group filed reports with the Pentagon, describing how the bodies of the dead GI’s were gutted, and filled with sacks of heroin. Approximately fifty pounds of heroin with a multi-million dollar street value were stuffed into each body…Document’s accompanying the drug-filled corpses were coded so that people at Air Force Bases in the United States, including at Travis and Norton air-force bases, could remove the drugs upon arrival in California.

In typical fashion, the military hierarchy reacted to the report by disbanding the investigative team. Other reports plus those given to me by my CIA contacts, provide further confirmation of this sordid practice. This coverup made possible the continued drug smuggling and constituted criminal coverup.

Crates returning to the U.S from Vietnam on military aircraft often contained bags of heroin, and the coded labels false indicated the contents were military supplies. The coverup by the military, the CIA,and the Justice Department, were part of the overall epidemic.

These aspects of the CIA-initiated and directed Vietnam War, and the debauchery of American GI’s, were never addressed at Memorial Day ceremonies. Instead the American public was led to believe that the hundreds of thousands of dead, maimed, and injured Americans suffered for an honorable cause, protecting the United States.

Even the heads of veteran organization, including the Veteran Foreign Wars and the American Legion, withheld this information from their members.

This is not to discredit those brave men and women who were ordered into battle and who endured such terrible fear, injury and death. But the American public must wake up, to realize that the extreme losses in human life and dignity were a farce perpetrated upon them.

On the matter of the Vietnam War…

Vietnam was an ugly, pointless war based on a US Government lie called the ‘Gulf of Tonkin Incident’. This undeclared war in Southeast Asia brutally slaughtered and maimed millions of innocent men, women and children, including our young American boys: 58,315 KIA; 153,303 WIA; 1,618 MIA; & 778 POWs. It changed this country forever; enriching only the defense contractors, the MIC and those who financed this war effort. Though many of my fellows in high school had been sent off to Vietnam –only to return in body bags– I was too young to go; but I watched the slaughter and the returning body bags on TV every night from the safety and comfort of my home. The Vietnam War brought us the anti-war movement, psychedelic drugs (aided and promoted by the CIA), eastern religions, free love, increased state domestic power and surveillance, huge debts owed to the central bankers and changed American culture forever.

Later, my college biology teacher told me he had served in Vietnam. He was a fit, small guy with a wily, dry sense of humor, and a pure white shock of hair jetting out of his hairline; and he was a good teacher. He served in the ground infantry and said he enjoyed his stay there so much he re-enlisted three times. I asked him what he learned in Vietnam and he said how to survive. Later when I was running my own business I hired several Vietnam veterans. Most would never speak a word about their time there, but two confided in me. One made me swear that I would never tell his wife he served in Vietnam since he had never told her. I found this to be very strange if not implausible. Another broke down and cried in my office for all the bad things he had done. He had even been ordered to kill US POWs since they represented a threat to the US negotiations. Another Vietnam veteran told me that all their ammo was locked up in a bunker and they couldn’t return fire, until they received approval from headquarters. My father-in-law also served in Vietnam, but never speaks of his time there.

Since WWII, the US has not declared one single war, yet since that time our war efforts have increased exponentially as well as our debt to those who finance these undeclared wars; and if we choose to look over the walled garden in which we live, we will discover that every single one of these wars are based on lies similar to the lie which brought us Vietnam. And so it goes.

On the matter of Iran:

I know everyone wants to hate Iran, but they didn’t get here by themselves…

On the matter of Iran:

  • Iranians are Persian not Arab
  • Iranians are Shia Muslims
  • Arabs are Sunni Muslims 
  • Shia has about 200 million followers 
  • Sunni has about 1.2 billion followers
  • Shia and Sunni don’t like each other
  • Iranians are well-educated, sophisticated, intelligent people. 
  • Iran is currently a Theocracy or an Islamic Republic which the Iranian people do not like. How did they get this reprehensible government?

Mosaddeq coup – CIA Operation Ajax:
Mohammad Mosaddegh was the 35th prime minister of Iran, holding office from 1951 until 1953, when his government was overthrown in the 1953 Iranian coup d’état orchestrated by the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency and the United Kingdom’s MI6.

The USA replaced Mohammad Mosaddegh by a brutal, murderous U.S. lap dog and psychopath known as the Shah of Iran. The CIA ran the Shah and his secret police SAVAK. My Iranian friends here in the USA were terrified of SAVAK even while studying here in the land of the free and the brave. They would only whisper and speak of certain things privately because of their abject fear of SAVAK. They knew my government put the Shah in power, yet they did not hold this against me, a U.S. Citizen.

Ruhollah Khomeini as Supreme Leader 1979 – 1989 founded the cruel Islamic Republic of Iran of today. This new and improved psycho murdered many people including little 13 year old girls because they were of the Bahá’í Faith. He would hang 6 at a time from cranes.

Khomeini’s fatwa ‘led to killing of 30,000 in Iran’

Q: Why is the rest of the Middle East in such a mess?

A: Sykes–Picot Agreement* for starters which partitioned the Ottoman Empire in 1916 across culture and religious lines assuring continued destabilization of the Middle East. From here the US meddling and bloody regime change just gets worse.

So put away the hater-AID until you’ve taken some time to think.

* Lines were drawn to impose maximum destabilization to make it easier to rule. “The line across a map of the Middle East it drew created colonial spheres of influence that cut directly and artificially across a region that had previously been divided along ethnic, linguistic and religious lines.”

In an effort to regain control of the narrative, NewsGuard will be on your phone and browser soon. I’ve heard that you will not be able to remove it on certain browsers and devices — there will be no opt-out. The trick here is for our ruling class to tell the masses what is good news and what is not. If you visit an approved news site like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, etc., you will get a nice green rating… other sites will have either a yellow or red rating to warn you that what you are reading is ‘FAKE NEWS’. The point here is to condition you –like Pavlov’s doggy– to always seek the green light. It’s an emotional signal. This will allow the political ruling class to more effectively herd their livestock to the correct way of thinking, while putting their competition out of business. If they can get away with this thought control gimmick, I’m sure something like Google’s Dragonfly and China’s ‘social credit’ system will be soon to follow here in the West.

BTW: The Smith-Mundt Act of 1945 prohibited the use of propaganda against our own citizens here in the USA; however, The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 now makes it legal for the US State Department –this includes the CIA– and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to use propaganda here on US Citizens. Yes, your Democrats and your Republicans voted this into law.

Given the Trust Project’s rich-get-richer impact on the online news landscape, it is not surprising to find that it is funded by a confluence of tech oligarchs and powerful forces with a clear stake in controlling the flow of news.

After the failure of Newsguard — the news rating system backed by a cadre of prominent neoconservative personalities — to gain traction among American tech and social media companies, another organization has quietly stepped in to direct the news algorithms of tech giants such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.

Lord Milner’s Second War

Lord Milner’s Second War: The Rhodes-Milner Secret Society; The Origin of World War I; and the Start of the New World Order by Mr John P. Cafferky (2013-01-03)

BACK COVER

Why did European diplomacy fail to avert World War I? Revisionist historians have long suspected that the President of France and the Russian Ambassador to France cooperated in bringing about the war, but they failed to identify the British partner to the plot. Lord Milner’s Second War exposes the role played by the Rhodes-Milner secret society in fomenting World War I. Lord Milner and his friends staged a coup in British foreign policy, culminating with the appointment of Sir Edward Grey as Foreign Secretary, Richard Haldane as War Secretary, and General Sir Henry Wilson as Director of Military Operations. With his team in place, Milner painstakingly prepared Britain for war.

Lord Milner inherited his secret society from its founder, Cecil Rhodes, and he dedicated himself to implementing Rhodes’ dream of a world state based on the British Empire. He started the South African War, demonstrating he had the ruthlessness to start a war and the determination to finish what he had started. After his first war, Lord Milner set his sights on a Great War to eliminate European opposition to the hegemony of his Anglo-American Banking cartel. Victory in his second war allowed him usher in the New World Order, an alliance of elites that since 1919 has accumulated immense power and has exercised unprecedented influence in world affairs. This is the story of how the New World Order began.

INTRODUCTION

The Rhodes-Milner secret society (The Milner Group), based in England, colluded with President Poincare of France and Ambassador lzvolsky of Russia to foment the seminal event of the twentieth century—the 1914-18 First World War. lzvolsky destroyed Czarist Russia; Poincare led a million-and-a-half of his countrymen to their graves; but victory for the Milner Group left this secret organization of imperialists and financiers wielding enormous influence in world affairs. The primary source on the Rhodes-Milner secret society is Carroll Quigley, a Georgetown professor. He wrote two books, Tragedy And Hope and The Anglo-American Establishment, in which he revealed the existence of this secret society, and partially revealed what they do and the enormous influence they wield. In the former he says:

There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network . . . I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies . . . but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.’

In his later work, The Anglo-American Establishment, Quigley examines the “Anglo” side of the organization and he makes the following claims about the Rhodes-Milner secret society:

For these men were organizing a secret society (in 1891) that was, for more than fifty years, to be one of the most important forces in the formulation and execution of British imperial and foreign policy?

The power and influence of this Rhodes-Milner group in British imperial affairs and in foreign policy since 1889, although not widely recognized, can hardly be exaggerated.

Any effort to write an account of the influence exercised by the Milner Group in foreign affairs in the period between the two World Wars would require a complete rewriting of the history of that period.

Quigley claims he read the secret documents of this organization. His claim leaves no wriggle room: either we dismiss him as a crank or we test his claim against the historical record. I have written a monograph to test Quigley’s assertions that a powerful secret society exercises enormous political and financial influence in the western world by examining the role the Rhodes-Milner Group played in bringing about the Great War. I concentrate on the Great War because it is both the defining event of the Twentieth Century and also immensely rich in documentary evidence. My monograph uses Quigley’s revelations, hints, and subtle signposts to outline how the Rhodes-Milner secret society, under the stewardship of Lord Milner, fostered the Great War.

Hidden History | The Secret Origins of the First World War
By Gerry Docherty and Jim Macgregor

Dedicated to the victims of an unspeakable evil.

Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for World War I.

Hidden History | The Secret Origins of the First World War By Gerry Docherty and Jim Macgregor

 It reveals how accounts of the war’s origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for the most heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For 10 years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as the first stage of their plan to take control of the world. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was no chance happening. It lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St. Petersburg to that cabal in London. Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in a web of falsehood and duplicity carefully constructed by the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by compliant historians ever since. The official version is fatally flawed, warped by the volume of evidence they destroyed or concealed from public view. Hidden History poses a tantalizing challenge. The authors ask only that you examine the evidence they lay before you.

 

Acknowledgements

FIRST AND FOREMOST WE OWE a debt to those writers and historians who, in the aftermath of the First World War, began to question what had happened and how it had come about. Their determination to challenge official accounts was largely dismissed by the Establishment, but they left a clear trail of credible evidence that has helped guide us through the morass of half-truths and lies that are still presented as historical fact. Without their cumulative effort, together with the profoundly important revelations of Professor Carroll Quigley, it would have been impossible for us to unpick the web of deceit woven around the origins of the war.

 

Special thanks are due to those who have encouraged our research over the years, made valuable suggestions and helped find sources to our enormous benefit. Will Podmore read our early chapters and offered sound advice. Guenter Jaschke has given us invaluable help in many ways, not least in providing and translating Austro-Hungarian and German political and military documents into English. Tom Cahill, American photojournalist and vibrant activist in the US Veterans against War movement, provided ongoing support, as did the American-Irish writer and political analyst Richard K. Moore. Other valued assistance came from Barbara Gunn in Ireland, Dr John O’Dowd in Glasgow and Brian Ovens, more locally.

 

We have to thank the ever-helpful librarians and researchers at the Scottish National Library in Edinburgh, both in the general reading rooms and the special documents section. We are grateful to the staff at the National Archives in Kew and the Bodleian Library, Oxford, especially in the special collections department, for their patience with us. Apologies are most certainly due to those we buttonholed and quizzed about missing documents, correspondence and papers at Oxford and Kew Gardens. As we were so correctly reminded, librarians and archivists can only provide access to the material that was passed into the library’s safekeeping by the Foreign or Cabinet Offices. What was removed, withdrawn, culled or otherwise destroyed, was effected many years ago by those empowered to do so.

 

The good advice of our literary agent, David Fletcher, and the enthusiasm of our superb editor, Ailsa Bathgate, is genuinely appreciated, though we may not have said so at the time. Thanks too are due to the other members of the wonderful team at Mainstream, including Graeme Blaikie for guiding us through the photographic content with consummate patience. Above all we thank Bill Campbell, who displayed great enthusiasm for the project.

 

Finally, tremendous gratitude is due to Maureen, Joan and our families, who have patiently supported us through the long years of research and writing. While we have often not been there for them, they have always been there for us.

 

Quigley: There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates to some extent, in the way the radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s to examine its papers and secret records.

On the matter of Jamal Khashoggi …

Leave a reply

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | November 18, 2018

Jamal Khashoggi (Saudi Arabia 2011) – Washington Post journalist

Is Jamal Khashoggi dead?

Almost certainly.   Did Mohammad bin Salman (MbS) order his murder?   Likely, in my opinion.

However, there is much more to this simple story. It should be curious to most Americans why the MSM are more concerned about the murder of Khashoggi (a non-American) than the Benghazi murder of Americans: US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.

So what’s the ‘Official’ story promulgated by the ‘Deep State’ (MSM propaganda organ)? The Narrative, as I can understand it: Trump’s new found pal, MbS (Mohammad bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia) ordered the brutal murder of an innocent Washington Post journalist. Knowing this, evil Trump went ahead with a $110 billion Saudi arms deal which he should have canceled to punish MbS.

The goal here seems to be to embarrass Trump publicly; force him to abandon his newly formed ally (MbS) in an effort turn back on the Al-Waleed bin Talal  money-spigot MbS had shut off.

Some additional data points:

  1. Khashoggi wasn’t your average journalist; he had deep ties to powerful arms dealers including his billionaire uncle Adnan Khashoggi. Not trying to ascribe guilt by association here, but most journalists would not have this kind of deep inside access to major arms dealers and the House of Saud. For example: Khashoggi’s Grandfather Was a Royal Physician to King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia.
  2. Khashoggi was a longtime acquaintance / friend of Osama bin Laden and interviewed him several times in Tora Bora and Sudan. This reeks of a CIA connection.
  3. Khashoggi had deep ties with Saudi intelligence; ergo the CIA, ergo the Washington Post, and other MSM propaganda spigots.
  4. Khashoggi’s cousin, Dodi Al Fayed, was dating Princess Diana when they both were killed in a car crash in Paris. The rabbit hole goes very deep here.
  5. The “CIA reportedly concludes Saudi crown prince ordered assassination of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi” – the CIA rarely reports out their conclusions, especially in front of the US President. The only reason for this is to undermine Trump and his support of MbS.
  6. Trump supported MbS’s regime change in Saudi Arabia, which removed Clinton / Obama / DNC money man Al-Waleed bin Talal and therefore the flow of funds to Clinton and other deep state operatives. There is also a nexus here with the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting event.
  7. While the money was flowing from Al-Waleed bin Talal, CIA Director, John Brennan did not want the 28 pages of the 9/11 report released; however, after MbS hung Al-Waleed bin Talal by his toes removing his money and power,  John Brennan did an about face stating we need to hold the Saudis accountable.
  8. Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal is Citigroup’s largest individual shareholder.
  9. Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal reportedly helped guide and finance Barack Obama prior to being elected president. Citigroup reportedly selected most of Obama’s cabinet members. Citigroup also wrote page 615 of the US Congress spending bill in 2015
  10. According to George Papadopoulos…“Joseph Mifsud is tied directly to Christopher Steele and Alexander Downer’s former chief of staff. He was also on Jamal Khashoogi’s payroll.”

There is a much larger chess game going on here. If you step back a bit, you can see this is just one more battle between the old guard and the new guard.

The Old Silk Road (114 BC – 1450s AD) was an ancient network of trade routes that connected the East and West: From China, India, Persia (Iran), Arabia, Somalia, Egypt to Europe.

The Old Silk Road – Connecting China to Europe

China’s New Silk Road

Today, China is planning to re-hydrate these ancient trading routes with a new modern Silk Road having already spent more than the US spent on WWII’s Marshall plan; with another $1.3 trillion waiting to build railways, roads, ports, and power grids over the next 10 years.

China’s new Silk Road – the Belt and Road Initiative

“Who rules the World Island commands the world”

The new Silk Road is now called the “Belt and Road” initiative, and is under active construction. With all this excitement and activity, one can’t help but think of Helford Mackinder’s (1861 – 1947) Heartland Theory of the World Island and his prescient words:

“Who rules Eastern Europe commands the Heartland
Who rules the Heartland commands the World Island
Who rules the World Island commands the world”

Helford Mackinder – Heartland Theory of the World Island

The Rimland is not enough

During the pinnacle of the British Empire’s power, Briton found it too costly –and the logistics technologically impractical– to go inland to conquer the ‘Heartland’ of the ‘World Island’;  so the Empire chose to control the seas and impose its will inward from the Rimland.  Once the greatest sea power the world had ever known, the Empire –weakened by The Great Wars–  encouraged its former colony (America) to fill the vacuum.  Still, the Heartland of the World Island –and the power it could unleash– was mostly ignored or forgotten by many –until recently.    Though Mackinder’s Heartland theory  is outdated, it’s basic premise is still valid and it seems clear China believes it can command the world by commanding the World Island.

NOTE: The “heartland”  was also referred to as the “pivot area” and as the core of Eurasia. Mackinder considered all of Europe and Asia as the World Island.

Historical Revisionism and the Conspiratorial View of History

Historical Revisionism and the Conspiratorial View of History

Though the ranks are thinning, there still exists today those who believe the official stories of the JFK assassination (40%) and the attacks on 9/11 (50%).

Despite great progress in rational, evidence-based discovery of fact and the clear refutation of official false-narratives promulgated by the US Government and its protectors surrounding JFK and 9/11, there is much less progress in other major historical events: great swaths of people still cling to many historical myths too uncomfortable to question. Some of these myths are so dangerous 17 countries have found it necessary to fine or imprison any who may question ‘settled history’. It seems certain areas of the historical record are off limits; today’s history requires laws –in place of evidence– to protect questionable official assertions.
