Rogue Bush Backers prepare Super 9/11 False Flag Terror Attacks

http://inn.globalfreepress.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=355
Toronto, May 30 – Intelligence patterns monitored over the US Memorial Day weekend now point conclusively to an imminent new round of ABC (atomic-bacteriological-chemical) terror attacks in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and possibly other nations. These attacks could include nuclear detonations, radiological dirty bombs, poison gas and other chemical weapons, or biological agents, to be unleashed in such urban settings as New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Vancouver BC, or London.

The attacks would be attributed by US/UK intelligence to controlled patsy terrorist groups who would be linked by the media to countries like Iran, Syria, Cuba, or North
Korea.

These forces are now in a desperate flight forward to escape from their current increasingly grim position.
Their goal is now to establish a neocon fascist dictatorship in the United States, complete with martial law, special tribunals, press and media censorship, and the full pervasive apparatus of the modern police state.

The leading edge of the propaganda campaign designed to establish the credibility of the coming ABC (atomic, bacteriological, chemical) terror wave is the May 26 press conference of Attorney General Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller to announce the coming summer "perfect storm" of terrorism. According to advance wire service reports, "U.S. officials have obtained new intelligence deemed highly credible indicating al-Qaeda or other terrorists are in the United States and preparing to launch a major attack this summer….(AP, 25 May 2004)

Since the beginning of April, there has been a qualitative escalation in the urgency and vehemence of the terror demagogy of the Bush administration. Bush and especially Cheney have made terror warning their stock in trade since September 11, 2001, but early April 2004 stands out as a watershed, for reasons which are discussed below.

Later, Bush spoke to the same themes at a closed-door gathering at the White House. "...On Tuesday evening, Bush told Republican congressional leaders during a meeting at the White House that it was all but certain that terrorists would attempt a major attack on the United States before the election, according to a congressional aide. The leaders were struck by Bush's definitiveness and gravity, the aide said... (Washington Post, 4/22/04)"

For Cheney, the question of a new terrorist assault on
the US is "not a matter of if, but when."

Several weeks later, an account published under the title "White House Nightmare Scenario" in US News and World Report reflected the thinking of top Bush officials about the relation between terrorism and the coming US presidential elections. According to this article, 'White House officials say they've got a "working premise" about terrorism and the presidential election: It's going to happen. "We assume," says a top administration official, "an attack will happen leading up to the election." And, he added, "it will happen here." There are two worst-case scenarios, the official says. The first posits an attack on Washington, possibly the Capitol, which was believed to be the target of the 9/11 jet that crashed in Pennsylvania. Theory 2: smaller but more frequent attacks in Washington and other major cities leading up to the election. To prepare, the administration has been holding secret
antiterrorism drills to make sure top officials know what to do. "There was a sense," says one official involved in the drills, "of mass confusion on 9/11. Now we have a sense of order." Unclear is the political impact, though most Bushies think the nation would rally around the president. "I can tell you one thing," adds the official sternly, "we won't be like Spain," which tossed its government days after the Madrid train bombings. (US News and World Report, 17 May 2004)

National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice told Fox News on Sunday, April 19, that the government is bracing for possible terrorist attacks before November's Presidential election. Referencing last month's Madrid bombings, she said the opportunity for terrorists to influence the election may "be too good to pass up for them," and that "the terrorists might have learned, we hope, the wrong lesson from Spain."

The Spanish elections were viewed with hysteria by Washington elites, first because of the Spanish quitting coalition, but also because the terrorist attacks had failed to produce the expected effects. The Washington consensus had previously been that terrorism would infallibly stampede the voters of any country into voting for the incumbent, but this time it was the anti-Bush challenger who was the beneficiary. Aznar is known to have
attempted to call off the Spanish vote and to continue to ruling by decree, but his efforts were blocked. Aznar's briefing would seem to have included the notion that if there is going to be pre-election terrorism, it needs to be of sufficient magnitude to provide a pretext for calling off all scheduled elections.

Based on captured material, interviews, and other sources of information, Hughes said he believes al Qaeda wants to strike with
something other than a conventional explosive device. It is reported that he worries about chemical and biological attacks, including a dirty bomb.

In mid-April, Aznar began issuing warnings of election-related
terrorism. These warning were directed most immediately to Tony Blair and George Bush. Aznar said, "I told George Bush, and Tony Blair and other political leaders to be extremely careful before elections ... and to be very vigilant." But there are also major election campaigns going on in Canada (at the federal level) and in the 25 member states of the European Union for the European Parliament. (Once Noticias, Once-TV, 4/19/04. Mexico)

During his visit to California, Aznar referred more than once about a terrorist attack taking place in the United States in June, 2004, which would lead to a Federal Emergency Management Agency takeover of the U.S. (International Herald Tribune, May 15, 16, 17, Los Angeles Times, May 15)

Rumsfeld spoke about how he dealt with the ex-Prime Minister by saying: "In Spain, in Madrid, the terrorists changed the result of the elections, without any doubt. In a premeditated way as consequence of the aim of the terrorists, the election results were changed. I had dinner with Prime Minister Aznar, and he is convinced that this is how it happened," said Rumsfeld. In California, Aznar told the press on Monday that Islamic terrorism has as objective, to influence elections in democratic countries.

"If they could do it in Spain, why would they not intend to do it in another place?" he said and added, "It's important to understand that the terrorists will do everything to change the next elections in the USA.

Aznar on Tuesday had a 40-minute meeting with President Bush in the White House. Present at the meeting were: Vice President Dick Cheney; Condi Rice; Colin Powell; and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card. The White House press spokesman identified the meeting as "private" -- "a meeting with a good friend of the
President."

The former leader of the US Central Command, Gen. Tommy Franks, told the magazine Cigar Afficionado earlier this year that he considered it possible that the US would be under emergency rule in the coming months.

On May 6, British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced that the new head of the British intelligence service MI-6 will be John Scarlett. The choice immediately caused protests from British political opposition leaders. Scarlett was the author and stubborn defender of the now-totally-discredited and artificially sexed-up "Iraqi WMD" report issued by the Blair government in support of the US-UK war drive.

In addition, the US government appears top have imposed an embargo on the sharing of critical anti-terror intelligence with European
authorities. Whatever the intent, the net effect of this blackout is to screen certain activities in the US from scrutiny by the allies. In an article published May 6 the German economic paper Handelsblatt reported in reference to a similar article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal, that Spanish investigators, like many of their colleagues in Europe, are find it very difficult to obtain information from US circles which are engaged in the fight against terrorism.

Lurid accounts of coming ABC terrorist attacks are proliferating in the US media. Whatever, the subjective intentions or motivations of the authors, these accounts objectively serve as propaganda preparation for terror attacks, specifically by introducing to the US ;public the alien notions of emergency rules, martial law, and the state of siege, all of which are favorite themes of neocon writers going back to the Nazi Carl
Schmitt.

A particularly fulsome example is the article by Michael Ignatieff
which appeared on May 2, 2004 New York Times Magazine. Here are some excerpts:
Consider the consequences of a second major attack on the mainland
United States -- the detonation of a radiological or dirty bomb,
perhaps, or a low-yield nuclear device or a chemical strike in a
subway. Any of these events could cause death, devastation and panic on a scale that would make 9/11 seem like a pale prelude. After such an attack, a pall of mourning, melancholy, anger and fear would hang over our public life for a generation.


An attack of this sort is already in the realm of possibility. The
recipes for making ultimate weapons are on the Internet, and the
materiel required is available for the right price. Democracies live by free markets, but a free market in everything -- enriched uranium, ricin, anthrax -- will mean the death of democracy. Armageddon is being privatized, and unless we shut down these markets, doomsday will be for sale. Sept. 11, for all its horror, was a conventional attack. We have the best of reasons to fear the fire next time.

A democracy can allow its leaders one fatal mistake -- and that's what 9/11 looks like to many observers -- but Americans will not forgive a second one. A succession of large-scale attacks would pull at the already-fragile tissue of trust that binds us to our leadership and destroy the trust we have in one another. Once the zones of devastation were cordoned off and the bodies buried, we might find ourselves, in short order, living in a national-security state on continuous alert, with sealed borders, constant identity checks and permanent detention camps for dissidents and aliens.

The coming of martial law to the US in the wake of a new large-scale terror attack was also the theme of Ted Koppel's Nightline broadcast of April 7, 2004. Here Koppel was joined by former terror czar Richard Clarke and the Reagan White House chief of staff Kenneth Duberstein. The broadcast was titled "The Armageddon Plan", and featured questions of continuity in government (COG) after an attack that had decimated the US Congress.

Koppel asked Duberstein: "Aren't we left for at least the foreseeable future with some sort of martial law anyway?"

Duberstein replied: "You have to suspend rights."

Koppel elaborated: "And during that period, then, and given the sense of panic that is inevitable under circumstances like this, the executive branch of government takes on extraordinary power doesn't it?"

Clarke chimed in: "I think in any war where Washington were destroyed, inevitably, there would be a period of, for lack of a better term, something like martial law."

In the case of Spain, US elites have been shocked by the failure of the March 11 terror attacks to accomplish their obvious goal of stampeding support to the right-wing, neo-falangist government of Jose Maria Aznar. Due to the intelligence and courage of the Spanish people, these attacks in effect backfired, as Aznar's blatant lying secured the election of the anti-Bush candidate, Zapatero. US elites have been profoundly concerned that the terror weapon, which they had regarded as a sure-fire means of coalescing support around an existing government, can also bring down that government. Their main conclusion seems to be that, for guaranteed success, the terrorism must be so colossal that the planned elections can simply be cancelled, as Aznar tried but failed to do.

Richard Perle is the target of a huge civil suit growing out of his involvement in the fraudulent conveyances and embezzlement carried out by the neocon press baron and moneybags Lord Conrad Black, who appears to have taken money from Hollinger to help fund neocon think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute. Perle has worked closely with the purloining Lord in recent years, and might also face criminal charges in this case.

The situation of the party of terrorism inside the United States is uncertain. The political leaders who would be the beneficiaries of new terror attacks would be figures like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Ashcroft, Ridge, and the neocon Gestapo (as Colin Powell calls it) in general. The main agencies for their dictatorship would be FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), Ridge's Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. The US military, especially the US Army, has now become profoundly disillusioned with the Bush-Cheney preventive war policy. They also resent being scapegoated for the Abu Graib atrocities, which were ordered by CIA, DIA, and Cheney's mercenary contractors. Some generals now realize that a successful terror coup, which would have the result of cementing the
current gang in power for the foreseeable future – without benefit of checks and balances – would guarantee that US forces would be fed into meatgrinders far worse than Iraq.

In addition to Syria, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba, a post –coup USD regime could not avoid collision with China and/or Russia. It remains to be seen whether this awareness will be enough to motivate the US military to do something to stop the coup which is now imminent. Similar considerations apply to the State Department, which has virtually no place in the post-coup world eagerly planned by the neocons.

The US Congress ought to be particularly concerned, since one of themost plausible coup scenarios features the destruction of the US Capitol and its adjacent office buildings, exterminating large numbers of Senators, Congressmen, and staff. Incredibly, the Congress is conniving in its own liquidation through the bill ordering instant elections to replace deceased Congressmen which is now making its way in to law. The gullible lawmakers would seem to be signing their own death warrant, since if there is anything that would facilitate the erection of a police state, it is the lack of an intact and functioning legislative branch – a fact illustrated all too well by the Nazi burning of the German Reichstag shortly after Hitler's seizure of power.
