Hello Peter, Bogdan, JoAnne, Friends and Visitors to this thread.

I appreciate all your participation and sharing your resources, your thoughts and more here in this thread. I started this thread because I believe there is a real threat to the world.

Not only from those supporting the NWO or the Oneness movements, but also the radicals, and extremists of the world, especially those that commit homicide and suicide in the same action in the name of a false prophet.

Claiming a religious right to rape, pillage, murder, steal, lie and destroy what others have worked hard to create and protect. In the name of Allah.

What is or maybe not so surprising, is the silence from practitioners of the said religion. Sit quietly by while radicals destroy their faith's reception in the world, by not condemning these atrocities.

By doing so is like not voting in an election as important as the past Presidential Election and the coming elections in 2010 and 2012. Those that sat on the sidelines voted for this current administration even if they didn't go to the polls. They voted with their apathy and silence..

This next post reveals something that we all should consider a possible reality. As always "DISCERNMENT" and a good dose of common sense is required.

Truth & Consequences - There is no Right and Left, only Right and Wrong

As a nation we have been asleep for years. Lulled by affluence and self-indulgent apathy, our collective awareness has grown dim. This has created an opening for our enemies, one that may ultimately prove fatal. This is the truth and what we do, or don't do, will determine the consequences, for better or worse. It is time to decide.

The Al-Qaeda KGB Connection Confirmed

For many years I have been alleging - with some snippets of direct evidence but encyclopedias of good reason - that al Qaeda and the militant islamic movement in general is but a provocation, a sideshow in our ongoing battle with "Russia."

My presumption has come from years of study about how the Soviet Communists work. First, it is a well established fact that practically every terrorist group on the face of the earth up until al Qaeda came on the scene, received its training, arms and other support from the Soviet KGB, either directly, or indirectly through a surrogate. And if the Soviets are supplying you with everything you need to fight, then they own you.

Also, it has always been the preference of the Soviets to let surrogates do their fighting. It is much less expensive, it allows them to preserve their own military, while others do the dying, and when we take military action against the terrorists, allows them to examine our tactics and weapons systems in action without revealing theirs. But most importantly they gain plausible deniability. You can't convincingly argue to an ignorant public that the Soviet Union is the main danger if all the hostility seems to be coming from somewhere else.

From time to time, little hints have surfaced that our seditious or otherwise completely incompetent mass media never seem to catch. One example was the gem found in seized Iraqi documents identifying Osama Bin-Laden as a longstanding "asset" of Iraqi Intelligence under Saddam Hussein. If that is in fact true, then not only was Saddam likely in on, or at least knowledgeable of, the 9-11 plot, but the KGB would have known as well, because Saddam's regime worked closely with the KGB.

9-11 Commission, where are you?

However, today we have much more concrete evidence, thanks to the sacrifices of Alexander Litvinenko and his compatriots. You remember Mr. Litvinenko. He was the former Russian SVR agent (SVR is the current label for the same old organization formerly known as "KGB") murdered by Russian agents using Polonium 210.

Mr. Litvinenko was killed because he was telling the West everything he knew. His book Allegations is now available, and its editor and translator, Pavel Stroilov, was recently interviewed by Jamie Glazov of FrontPageMagazine. Please read the article here.

Following is a direct quote from Stroilov:

Alexander revealed, in his articles and interviews included in the Allegations, that at least two notorious Al Qaeda terrorists are secret agents of the FSB – one of whom, Aiman al Zawahiri, is bin Laden’s second-in-command.

As the former leader of the terrorist organisation Egyptian Islamic Jihad, al Zawahiri was on international lists of most wanted terrorists for many years. In 1997, he suddenly re-surfaced in Russia, where he undertook a special training course at a secret FSB base in Dagestan. After that, he was sent to Afghanistan, and joined Al Qaeda as bin Laden’s number two. Meanwhile, the FSB officers who had supervised him in Dagestan were promoted and re-assigned to Moscow. It was from them that Alexander learned about al Zawahiri.

These and other facts of FSB involvement in international terrorism, revealed by Alexander, have tremendous implications. Contrary to the view of many in the US, Russia is anything but a reliable ally of yours in the ‘war on terror’. The Kremlin is playing a treacherous double game: while enjoying the West’s support as ally, it secretly supports and manipulates the Al Qaeda through FSB agents of influence.

There is a lot more, but that paragraph summarizes the salient truth: al Qaeda is and always has been a cutout for the Soviets' ongoing war with the West, and I believe that fact can be applied to the entire Islamofascist movement as well (although I doubt if any of the foot soldiers know it.) If Putin felt like it, he could probably tell us exactly where Osama is right this minute. But even that misses the point. Osama and his ragtag band of homicidal goatherders are not the main enemy, and our continued refusal to recognize this fact will guarantee that we are pointing our guns in the wrong direction when the final offensive begins. http://truthandcons.blogspot.com/2008/01/al-qaeda-kgb-connection-confirmed.html

The Afghanistan Opium Survey 2009 confirms that market forces are moving against the Afghan drugs tradeas prices, revenues and excess production have put a damper on supply.As reported in September in the Summary Findings of this Survey, in2009 opium cultivation in Afghanistan decreased by 22%, and productionfell by 10% (to 6,900 tons). The number of people involved in opiumcultivation (1.6 million) has dropped by one third, and the number ofpoppy-free provinces
is up from 18 to 20.

The Afghanistan Opium Survey 2009 goes into considerably more detail than the Summary
Findings. It especially provides methodological evidence about how the information was derived.

Furthermore, it introduces new information. Most importantly, it shows that the potential gross
export value of Afghanistan’s opiates is down 18%, from $3.4 billion in 2008 to $2.8 billion in
2009. This is equivalent to around a quarter of GDP, down from a third last year. This can be
attributed to lower cultivation, lower production, lower prices, and higher GDP.

Iappeal to President Karzai to seize this opportunity to work with thegrain of favorable market conditions to further reduce the impact ofopium on Afghanistan’s economy and, as a result,strengthen its securityand governance. This will have wider benefits for the country, likereducing the resources accruing to anti-government forces.

Forthe sake of a viable future, the Afghan government must regain controlover the main opium growing regions, bring major drug traffickers tojustice, and promote more honest government. Ihope these elements willbe part of the new Afghan National Drug Control Strategy (to bedeveloped in 2010).

Annual fluctuations of opium cultivation andproduction do not tell the whole story. Success will come whenAfghanistan’s farmers have sustainable licit livelihoods, when drugtraffickers no longer operate with impunity, and when people no longerhave to pay bribes for basic services.

This day may be a long time coming, but the alternative of a society wracked by drugs, insurgency,and corruption is untenable.

You notice where they discuss the "Atlantic Review" commissioning and rejecting this report. Finally Harvard (not sure I would recognize, them, till they release Obama's transcripts and his works as editor of the Law Review there. They are part of the coverup you know and the other guy is part of the Chicago political scene and we all know that is on the up and up. Don't we?)

and some other book review site published this rejected report. Not sure that I could place much into a paper rejected by it's commissioners. Unless you are into conspiracy stuff and then you can make it whatever you choose can't you? See how easily s*hit can be twisted around to make everything sound conspiratorial? Ain't it fun?!

President Jimmy Carter pounds Israel

This cuts off the part of the interview where Mr. Carter explains that both sides are culpable and share the blame. You should have watched the whole interview. Perfect example of propaganda. Never tells the whole story. Just whatever supports a position.

AIPAC is pushing us to war with Iran for Israel

President Carter talks about AIPAC and Israel on C-SPAN

Carter will go down in history as the worst president ever. He is guilty of being the first to indebt the American taxpayer to a foreign power. (Oil Crisis - Saudi Arabia- Carter sells out US taxpayer for oil) Since then it is the "Progressive Democrats" way of balancing budgets. Try to balance your budget using their math. It cannot be done. Anything this man says is questionable. IMHO

In the end, we are not going to change each others view and this is not my goal. But facts seem to support one side more than the other.

There is an Islamic threat to the USA and the world. Moderate muslims not speaking up and following the laws of the land they live in will cause themselves more harm than by speaking out against the radicals, extremists and murderers that hide behind a thin veil of their religion. Until they stop hiding these same extremists.

I actually had a nice interaction with a muslim that is choosing to speak out to his own people. He is telling them to follow the laws of Islam but do so where Islam is welcomed. Otherwise follow the laws of the land you live.

Hey by the was while I was checking resources I found the following quite revealing.



Sunnah & Zaydi Shia Muslims (only Shia group within thefold of Islam) in Yemen united against the Rafidah (twelver Rafidites)and their Safavid Regime! Still the Rafidis around the World insistthat the secular Yemeni Gov. is percecuting the Shias of Yemen,eventhough the president is a Shia himself!



As usual, the pathetic, desperate Rafidite regime blames the United States and the British. Yet, even the Pakistanis! who is next to blame? Father Christmas? or even their cave dwelling saviour in Qom*?. Allah knows best, the reality is, it is an indipendent Sunni Iranian resistance, led by noble balochi Iranians, who are fighting for the rights of Sunni Iranians altogether, be it the Baloch, Kurds or Persian Sunnis, although the unbelievers dislike it. http://sunnairan.wordpress.com/

Here is an article written about origins of Al-Qaed, situation with drug trade in Afghanistan which again exposes American foreign policies during the cold war.

Article was written in 2001 on sep 12 by Michel Chossudovsky
Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO109C.html

A few hours after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, the Bush administration concluded without supporting evidence, that "Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda organisation were prime suspects". CIA Director George Tenet stated that bin Laden has the capacity to plan ``multiple attacks with little or no warning.'' Secretary of State Colin Powell called the attacks "an act of war" and President Bush confirmed in an evening televised address to the Nation that he would "make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them". Former CIA Director James Woolsey pointed his finger at "state sponsorship,"implying the complicity of one or more foreign governments. In the words of former National Security Adviser,Lawrence Eagleburger, "I think we will show when we get attacked like this, we are terrible in our strength and in our retribution."

Meanwhile, parroting official statements, the Western media mantra has approved the launching of "punitive actions"directed against civilian targets in the Middle East. In the words of William Saffire writing in the New York Times:"When we reasonably determine our attackers' bases and camps, we must pulverize them -- minimizing but accepting the risk of collateral damage" -- and act overtly or covertly to destabilizeterror's national hosts".

The following text outlines the history of Osama Bin Laden and the links of the Islamic "Jihad" to the formulation of US foreign policy during the Cold War and its aftermath.

---

Prime suspect in the New York and Washington terrorists attacks,branded by the FBI as an "international terrorist" for his role in the African US embassy bombings, Saudi born Osama bin Laden was recruited during the Soviet-Afghan war "ironically under the auspices of the CIA, to fight Soviet invaders". 1

In 1979 "the largest covert operation in the history of the CIA" was launched in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in support of the pro-Communist government of Babrak Kamal.2:

With the active encouragement of the CIA and Pakistan's ISI [InterServices Intelligence], who wanted to turn the Afghan jihad into a global war waged by all Muslim states against the Soviet Union, some 35,000 Muslim radicals from 40 Islamic countries joined Afghanistan's fight between 1982 and 1992. Tens of thousands more cameto study in Pakistani madrasahs. Eventually more than100,000 foreign Muslim radicals were directly influenced by the Afghanjihad.3

The Islamic "jihad" was supported by the United States and Saudi Arabia with a significant part of the funding generated from the Golden Crescent drug trade:

In March 1985, President Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive 166,...[which] authorize[d] stepped-up covert military aid to the mujahideen, and it made clear that the secret Afghan war had a new goal: to defeat Soviet troops in Afghanistan through covert action and encourage a Soviet withdrawal. The new covert U.S.assistance began with a dramatic increase in arms supplies-- a steady rise to 65,000 tons annually by 1987, ... as well as a"ceaseless stream" of CIA and Pentagon specialists who traveled to the secret headquarters of Pakistan's ISI on the main road near Rawalpindi, Pakistan. There the CIA specialists met with Pakistani intelligence officers to help plan operations for the Afghanrebels.4

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) using Pakistan's military Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) played a key role in training the Mujahideen. In turn, the CIA sponsored guerrilla training was integrated with the teachings of Islam:

Predominant themes were that Islam was a complete socio-political ideology, that holy Islam was being violated by the atheistic Soviet troops, and that the Islamic people of Afghanistan should reassert their independence by overthrowing the leftist Afghan regime propped up by Moscow.5

Pakistan's Intelligence Apparatus

Pakistan's ISI was used as a "go-between". The CIA covert support tothe "jihad" operated indirectly through the Pakistani ISI, --i.e. the CIA did not channel its support directly to the Mujahideen. In other words, for these covert operations to be "successful", Washington was careful not to reveal the ultimate objective of the "jihad", which consisted in destroying the Soviet Union.

In the words of CIA's Milton Beardman "We didn't train Arabs". Yetaccording to Abdel Monam Saidali, of the Al-aram Center for Strategi cStudies in Cairo, bin Laden and the"Afghan Arabs" had been imparted "with very sophisticated types of training that was allowed to them by the CIA" 6

CIA's Beardman confirmed, in this regard, that Osama bin Laden wasnot aware of the role he was playing on behalf of Washington. In thewords of bin Laden (quoted by Beardman): "neitherI, nor my brothers saw evidence of American help". 7

Motivated by nationalism and religious fervor, the Islamic warriors were unaware that they were fighting the Soviet Army on behalf of Uncle Sam. While there were contacts at the upper levels of the intelligence hierarchy, Islamic rebel leaders in theatre had no contacts with Washington or the CIA.

With CIA backing and the funneling of massive amounts of US military aid, the Pakistani ISI had developed into a "parallel structure wielding enormous power over all aspects of government". 8 The ISI had a staff composed of military and intelligence officers, bureaucrats, undercover agents and informers,estimated at 150,000. 9

Meanwhile, CIA operations had also reinforced the Pakistani military regime led by General Zia Ul Haq:

'Relations between the CIA and the ISI [Pakistan's military intelligence] had grown increasingly warm following [General] Zia'souster of Bhutto and the advent of the military regime,'... Duringmost of the Afghan war, Pakistan was more aggressively anti-Soviet than even the United States. Soon after the Soviet military invaded Afghanistan in 1980, Zia [ul Haq] sent his ISI chief to destabilize the Soviet Central Asian states. The CIA only agreed to this plan in October 1984.... `the CIA was more cautious than the Pakistanis.' Both Pakistan and the United States took the line of deception on Afghanistan with a public posture of negotiating a settlement while privately agreeing that military escalation was the best course.10

The Golden Crescent Drug Triangle

The history of the drug trade in Central Asia is intimately related to the CIA's covert operations. Prior to the Soviet-Afghan war, opium production in Afghanistan and Pakistan was directed to small regional markets. There was no local production of heroin. 11 In this regard, Alfred McCoy's study confirms that within two years of the onslaught of the CIA operation in Afghanistan,"the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands became the world's top heroin producer, supplying 60 percent of U.S. demand. In Pakistan, the heroin-addict population went from near zero in 1979... to1.2 million by 1985 -- a much steeper rise than in any other nation":12

CIA assets again controlled this heroin trade. As the Mujahideen guerrillas seized territory inside Afghanistan, they ordered peasants to plant opium as a revolutionary tax. Across the border in Pakistan, Afghan leaders and local syndicates under the protection of Pakistan Intelligence operated hundreds of heroin laboratories. During this decade of wide-open drug-dealing, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency in Islamabad failed to instigate major seizures orarrests ... U.S. officials had refused to investigate charges of heroin dealing by its Afghan allies `because U.S. narcotics policy in Afghanistan has been subordinated to the war against Soviet influence there.' In 1995, the former CIA director of the Afghan operation, Charles Cogan, admitted the CIA had indeed sacrificed the drug war to fight the Cold War. `Our main mission was to do as much damage as possible to the Soviets. We didn't really have the resources or the time to devote to an investigation of the drug trade,'... `I don't think that we need to apologize for this. Every situation has its fallout.... There was fallout in terms of drugs, yes. But the main objective was accomplished.The Soviets left Afghanistan.'13

In the Wake of the Cold War

In the wake of the Cold War, the Central Asian region is not only strategic for its extensive oil reserves, it also produces three quarters of the World's opium representing multibillion dollar revenues to business syndicates, financial institutions,intelligence agencies and organized crime. The annual proceeds of the Golden Crescent drug trade (between 100 and 200 billion dollars) represents approximately one third of the Worldwide annual turnover of narcotics, estimated by the United Nations to be of the order of $500 billion.14

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a new surge in opium production has unfolded. (According to UN estimates, the production of opium in Afghanistan in 1998-99 -- coinciding with the build up of armed insurgencies in the former Soviet republics-- reached a record high of 4600 metric tons.15 Powerful business syndicates in the former Soviet Union allied with organized crime are competing for the strategic control over the heroin routes.

The ISI's extensive intelligence military-network was not dismantled in the wake of the Cold War. The CIA continued to support the Islamic"jihad" out of Pakistan. New undercover initiatives were set in motion in Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Balkans. Pakistan's military and intelligence apparatus essentially"served as a catalyst for the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of six new Muslim republics in Central Asia." 16.

Meanwhile, Islamic missionaries of the Wahhabi sect from Saudi Arabia had established themselves in the Muslim republics as well as within the Russian federation encroaching upon the institutions of the secular State. Despite its anti-American ideology,Islamic fundamentalism was largely serving Washington's strategic interests in the former Soviet Union.

Following the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, the civil war in Afghanistan continued unabated. The Taliban were being supported by the Pakistani Deobandis and their political party the Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Islam (JUI). In 1993, JUI entered the government coalition of Prime Minister Benazzir Bhutto. Ties between JUI, the Armyand ISI were established. In 1995, with the downfall of the Hezb-I-Islami Hektmatyar government in Kabul, the Taliban not only instated a hardline Islamic government, they also "handed control of training camps in Afghanistan over to JUI factions..." 17

And the JUI with the support of the Saudi Wahhabi movements played a key role in recruiting volunteers to fight in the Balkans and the former Soviet Union.

Jane Defense Weekly confirms in this regard that "half of Taliban manpower and equipment originate[d] in Pakistan under the ISI" 18

In fact, it would appear that following the Soviet withdrawal both sides in the Afghan civil war continued to receive covert support through Pakistan's ISI. 19

In other words, backed by Pakistan's military intelligence (ISI)which in turn was controlled by the CIA, the Taliban Islamic State was largely serving American geopolitical interests. The Golden Crescent drug trade was also being used to finance and equip the Bosnian Muslim Army (starting in the early 1990s) and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In last few months there is evidence that Mujahideen mercenaries are fighting in the ranks ofKLA-NLA terrorists in their assaults into Macedonia.

No doubt, this explains why Washington has closed its eyes on the reign of terror imposed by the Taliban including the blatant derogation of women's rights, the closing down of schools for girls, the dismissal of women employees from government offices and the enforcement of "the Sharia laws of punishment".20

The War in Chechnya

With regard to Chechnya, the main rebel leaders Shamil Basayev and Al Khattab were trained and indoctrinated in CIA sponsored camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to Yossef Bodansky,director of the U.S. Congress's Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, the war in Chechnya had been planned during a secret summit of Hizb Allah International held in 1996 in Mogadishu, Somalia. 21 The summit, was attended by Osama bin Laden and high-ranking Iranian and Pakistani intelligence officers. In this regard, the involvement of Pakistan's ISI in Chechnya"goes far beyond supplying the Chechens with weapons and expertise: the ISI and its radical Islamic proxies are actually calling the shots in this war". 22

Russia's main pipeline route transits through Chechnya and Dagestan. Despite Washington's perfunctory condemnation of Islamic terrorism, the indirect beneficiaries of the Chechen war are the Anglo-American oil conglomerates which are vying for control over oil resources and pipeline corridors out of the Caspian Sea basin.

The two main Chechen rebel armies (respectively led by Commander Shamil Basayev and Emir Khattab) estimated at 35,000 strong were supported by Pakistan's ISI, which also played a key role in organizing and training the Chechen rebel army:

[In 1994] the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence arranged for Basayev and his trusted lieutenants to undergo intensive Islamic indoctrination and training in guerrilla warfare in the Khost province of Afghanistan at Amir Muawia camp, set up in the early 1980sby the CIA and ISI and run by famous Afghani warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. In July 1994, upon graduating from Amir Muawia,Basayev was transferred to Markaz-i-Dawar camp in Pakistan to undergo training in advanced guerrilla tactics. In Pakistan, Basayev met the highest ranking Pakistani military and intelligence officers: Minister of Defense General Aftab Shahban Mirani, Minister of Interior General Naserullah Babar, and the head of the ISI branch in charge of supporting Islamic causes, General Javed Ashraf, (all now retired). High-level connections soon proved very useful to Basayev.23

Following his training and indoctrination stint, Basayev wasassigned to lead the assault against Russian federal troops in thefirst Chechen war in 1995. His organization had also developedextensive links to criminal syndicates in Moscow as well as ties toAlbanian organized crime and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In1997-98, according to Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB)"Chechen warlords started buying up real estate in Kosovo... throughseveral real estate firms registered as a cover in Yugoslavia" 24

Basayev's organisation has also been involved in a number of rackets including narcotics, illegal tapping and sabotage of Russia's oil pipelines, kidnapping, prostitution, trade in counterfeit dollars and the smuggling of nuclear materials (See Mafia linked to Albania's collapsed pyramids, 25 Alongside the extensive laundering ofdrug money, the proceeds of various illicit activities have been funneled towards the recruitment of mercenaries and the purchase of weapons.

During his training in Afghanistan, Shamil Basayev linked up with Saudi born veteran Mujahideen Commander "Al Khattab" who had fought as a volunteer in Afghanistan. Barely a few months after Basayev's return to Grozny, Khattab was invited (early1995) to set up an army base in Chechnya for the training of Mujahideen fighters. According to the BBC, Khattab's posting to Chechnya had been "arranged through the Saudi-Arabian based[International] Islamic Relief Organisation, a militant religious organisation, funded by mosques and rich individuals which channeled funds into Chechnya".26

Concluding Remarks

Since the Cold War era, Washington has consciously supported Osama bin Laden, while at same time placing him on the FBI's "most wanted list" as the World's foremost terrorist.

While the Mujahideen are busy fighting America's war in the Balkansand the former Soviet Union, the FBI --operating as a US based Police Force- is waging a domestic war against terrorism,operating in some respects independently of the CIA which has --since the Soviet-Afghan war-- supported international terrorism through its covert operations.

In a cruel irony, while the Islamic jihad --featured by the Bush Adminstration as "a threat to America"-- is blamed for the terrorist assaults on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, these same Islamic organisations constitute a key instrument of US military-intelligence operations in the Balkans and the former Soviet Union.

In the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, the truth must prevail to prevent the Bush Adminstration together with its NATO partners from embarking upon a military adventure which threatens the future of humanity.
