Dear Diary April 25, '08

DEAR DIARY
April 25, 2008

It's About Israel, Hamas and Iran

1. 4. 18 - 20 Ground Zero -- Popes visit => Bush (pact?) =>
synagogue visit (slipped in itinerary unannounced)

2.. AIPAC trial scheduled April 29. -massive number of FBI investigations into Israeli spying after Pollard, suddenly called off after Bush came to office. Discovered by translator Sibel Edmonds, who has volunteered to testify to Congress if they will tell it all. It's now up to Henry Waxman. Will it be postponed? Will announcements be made?

Ex-Aipac employees S. Rosen and Weissman were indicted by L.Franklin plea bargaining. He was a State Dept. employee caught in the J.Pollard investigation. Judge Ellis has allowed 13 top tier Bush adm officials to be called to testify, including Rice and Cheney. (Defense manipulating the legal system to show that exchange of information with Israel is routine D.C. business.) This politicizes the trial, calculated to favor the Jews by appealing to holocaust sympathy, but could easily backfire, leaving a catch 22 0-sum situation.which I suspect is what obtains.

3. The "don't talk to Iran" group, including Cheney (mentioned as mastermind) and Rice, caused release of documents purporting to show destruction of a North Korea run nuke plant in Syria by Israeli bombers, juxtaposed with blurry images of a factory apparatus that compares with "Curveball"'s pictures, supplied to Chalabi, sold to TV audiences as proof of biochemical WMP to start the Iraq war. This "news" pervaded MSNBC, Fox, CNN Headline; less on CNN. (They have all gone into false consciousness, acting-out mode, driven by deep knowledge of the duplicity they are helping continue.)

This incident was slipped into American consciousness September 6, '07, under the radar of Gen. D. Petraeus and Iraq Ambassador Crocker's dissembling US Senate presentation, where some kind of military pact was announced inked between the nations. ahem. An article by a visiting Israeli BU professor explaining why it was a good idea appeared a bit later in the Press & Sun Bulletin. (Which I challenged, having followed the event in context.) It was explained to the illuminati on the inside pages of some publications that it was a signal to Iran that the IDF meant business and would attack even a hinted nuclear threat, as they did in Iraq in '81 (disapproved of by Washington, incidentally). Now with this clearly made-for-media re-iteration of the point, for what it is worth, has received the complicity of the very officials subpoened in the April 29 Rosen and Weissman trial. WTF

4. Announcement of charged of spying for Israel have suddenly been served on New Jersey associate of Jonathan Pollard Ben-Ami Kadish. This could be called a "deterrent foothill", interjecting the "oh, they are picking on the Jews again are they?" (..eliciting "No! No!" as reaction-formation) to confuse and buffer latent 'anti-semite' (it will be called) outrage at the announced link.

5. Hillary Clinton saying she would "totally obliterate" Iran if it nukes Israel. Never mind that would be years away from even the possibility, according to all official accounts except Israel's. The policy of pre-emption treats all threats as imminent.

6. The cable TV newsters keep delivering the Wright cross to Obama. Playing clips of his "God Damn America" sermon, while slipping in his defense of Palestinian causes, so that solidarity of U.S. patriotism with Israel is shown in condemning him. Hamas literature was said to be quoted in a church bulletin. The connection between the candidate and his pastor was belabored by CNN McCafferty file segment: "Does Wright's speaking out about his religion help or hurt Obama?"

7. Jimmy Carter is labeled a "bigot" by U.N. Ambassador Gillerman (to a press club in a downtown NY law firm offices), for talking with Hamas in Syria. See 3 above. His position: As a democratically elected government, they must be included in any final settlement agreements. Hanging the "terrorist" tag on them is used to pre-empt legitimate disputed issues, and to lynch Carter.

Analysis: Carter's would be the 'realist' position in the current pundit vernacular; the 'idealist' position would be NY Times' David Brooks and the WSJ. Carter and Pastor Wright are 'exremists', in bed with hate America jihadists.

8. March of the Military Analysts PR brigade. A very important expose of how Iraq war news has been framed by ex-military sock puppets, controlled by the WHIG - OSP - AEI - AIPAC neocon cabal who inflicted it, was published by the NY Times April 20, Hitler's birthday. The ones involved were admitting they had willingly disinformed the public, like Joseph Goebel's Nazi propaganda did to Germans. Also, to doing so for the sake of contracts and access.

MEANWHILE: -- McCain is seen strolling through the lower 9th ward in New Orleans, under the 17th street canal on Lake Ponchetrain in the streets where bodies were seen floating a year or so ago, vowing "Never Again!" -- would government unpreparedness allow ... etc.

BREAKING NEWS: McCain just quoted saying "Obama is Hamas' candidate". Sure enough, up pops some Hamas literature saying he would be the best candidate for them, read out by Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room. (4:03pm CNN)

After Musharaff, the New Sheriff in town in Pakistan has cut a mutual non-aggression deal with 'al Queda'- Taliban/tribal forces of Mehsud in S. Waziristan,, closing the door for U.S. money to pay for periodic 'kill their own kind' forays he would periodically order (reported as crucial ally of "Americas war on terror"). Leaving a gaping hole in U.S. military, not to say foreign policy. Without Fallon over there ..I dunno ...


******* Summing:
=> Pope visits synagogue, passes torch to McCain :(segue: Tibet)
=> Phoney N. Korea-Syria nuke strike by Israel pictures
=> AIPAC Israeli spy trial impending 4.29, implicating U.S officials
=> Ben-Ami Kadish's "good spy" false lead-in to absorb shock
=> Hillary's "totally obliterate.. Iran" last minute manipulation
=> Obama's Wright Cross
=> Lynching Carter for talking with Hamas
=> Military analysts admit deception (ongoing, but...embarrassed?)
________
: The unspoken, behind the scenes controller of this constellation of news events is the State of Israel and its lobby. It's interests are mainly in identifying itself with "America" at the linguistic, symbolic level; and in framing the election to preemptively exclude consideration of Hamas, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, as a potentially nuclear armed "terrorist" bloc posing a threat to Israel and the United States. These two things, identity and preemption, supply the central, on-going narrative thread.

:: The conjunction of the claimed N. Korean-Syria building strike by Israel, the impending AIPAC spy trial and what to do about Iran, are today's primary geopolitical realities.
__________
There is always a new configuration tomorrow. It will include today's realities, plus the difference made by their essence being seen and related to as such. How else could real difference be arrived at soundly?

Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand

By David Barstow

In the summer of 2005, the Bush administration confronted a fresh wave of criticism over Guantanamo Bay. The detention center had just been branded “the gulag of our times” by Amnesty International, there were new allegations of abuse from United Nations human rights experts and calls were mounting for its closure.

The administration’s communications experts responded swiftly. Early one Friday morning, they put a group of retired military officers on one of the jets normally used by Vice President Dick Cheney and flew them to Cuba for a carefully orchestrated tour of Guantánamo.

To the public, these men are members of a familiar fraternity, presented tens of thousands of times on television and radio as “military analysts” whose long service has equipped them to give authoritative and unfettered judgments about the most pressing issues of the post-Sept. 11 world.

Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found.

The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air.

Those business relationships are hardly ever disclosed to the viewers, and sometimes not even to the networks themselves. But collectively, the men on the plane and several dozen other military analysts represent more than 150 military contractors either as lobbyists, senior executives, board members or consultants. The companies include defense heavyweights, but also scores of smaller companies, all part of a vast assemblage of contractors scrambling for hundreds of billions in military business generated by the administration’s war on terror. It is a furious competition, one in which inside information and easy access to senior officials are highly prized.

Records and interviews show how the Bush administration has used its control over access and information in an effort to transform the analysts into a kind of media Trojan horse — an instrument intended to shape terrorism coverage from inside the major TV and radio networks.

Analysts have been wooed in hundreds of private briefings with senior military leaders, including officials with significant influence over contracting and budget matters, records show. They have been taken on tours of Iraq and given access to classified intelligence. They have been briefed by officials from the White House, State Department and Justice Department, including Mr. Cheney, Gonzales Hadley.

In turn, members of this group have echoed administration talking points, sometimes even when they suspected the information was false or inflated. Some analysts acknowledge they suppressed doubts because they feared jeopardizing their access.

A few expressed regret for participating in what they regarded as an effort to dupe the American public with propaganda dressed as independent military analysis.

“It was them saying, ‘We need to stick our hands up your back and move your mouth for you,’ ” Robert S. Bevelacqua, a retired Green Beret and former Fox News analyst, said.

Kenneth Allard, a former NBC military analyst who has taught information warfare at the National Defense University, said the campaign amounted to a sophisticated information operation. “This was a coherent, active policy,” he said.

As conditions in Iraq deteriorated, Mr. Allard recalled, he saw a yawning gap between what analysts were told in private briefings and what subsequent inquiries and books later revealed.

“Night and day,” Mr. Allard said, “I felt we’d been hosed.”

First Evidence Of Brain Abnormalities Found In Pathological Liars

ScienceDaily (Oct. 2, 2005) —

A University of Southern California study has found the first proof of structural brain abnormalities in people who habitually lie, cheat and manipulate others.

While previous research has shown that there is heightened activity in the prefrontal cortex – the area of the brain that enables most people to feel remorse or learn moral behavior – when normal people lie, this is the first study to provide evidence of structural differences in that area among pathological liars.
.....
Pathological liars can't always tell truth from falsehood and contradict themselves in an interview. They are manipulative and they admit they prey on people. They are very brazen in terms of their manner, but very cool when talking about this."
.....
It's almost mind reading. You have to be able to understand the mindset of the other person. You also have to suppress your emotions or regulate them because you don't want to appear nervous. There's quite a lot to do there. You've got to suppress the truth.

"Our argument is that the more networking there is in the prefrontal cortex, the more the person has an upper hand in lying. Their verbal skills are higher. They've almost got a natural advantage."

******
C. The reptile mind constantly sniffs the air and scans the neighborhood for threats to territory and security (enemy: fight or flight), and pussy (rape). These enter consciousness as signals, devoid of distracting quality but attuned to smell. Thus, the upper cortical brain systems receive signals to ATTACK! (aggressively defend) or SCREW!. The behavioral manifestations of these may be indistinguishable. For those with foreheads full of white instead of grey matter nothing evokes remorse of conscience so they seem smarter, know how to deal with the smells (btw, episodes of epidemic mass hysteria are often triggered by someone smelling a strange odor in the classroom, gym, etc.)

The WHIGS in the White House (really Tories; leetle joke there) and OSP (Office of Special Plans) in the Pentagon were the smart "masterminds" of The Reptile. This passed through the minds of Blackwater contractors, Renditionists, Military TV analysts and vampire Fox News personnel.

Then, after putting the military puppets on TV, trot-line trolls are assigned to monitor blog sites with key forums whose job is to reduce whatever issues come along to reptile brain categories; others will slap a Mosaic distinction onto some schizoid declaration (split-off half truth), and there you will have it once more.

****
1. Some of us were able to figure out what was going on, instinctively understanding its falsehood by the sheer fishiness and constant gaps in the story. Finally a gut reaction to "oh no, not another..." sets in as the on going process spreads, deepens, saturates and poisons the atmosphere.

2. In the three brain-center analysis of consciousness proposed here, Brain 3, the Reptile, goes directly to Brain 1, the intellectual, by-passing Brain 2, the feeling/emotional or "soul" brain. It's site would be the locus coerulous; this would link to the portion of the neocortex shown in the Yang-Riale USC experiments to be a conditioning factor in feeling remorse. Both resonating would constitute experiencing remorse-of-conscience, for those who can. .

3. Impulses from signals from Brain 3 (Freud's Id) compete in Brain 1 (Ego) with the impulses proceeding from the mammalian brain, with a different agenda for completing their function (generally speaking, those of gestation and motherhood (Jung's Anima). The agency Freud called "superego", a conceptual development from the notion of "Ego Ideal", i.e., what is early-on internalized as the way a child wants to see themselves, and to judge themselves by -- often harshly -- through the parental imagos. The psychodynamic


'pull' between the SuperEgo and the Id, as an inner struggle, is the choice Brain 1 makes in response to Brain 2's impulse to completion. This would be intellectual center chosing the soul for completion through (Ego) consciousness ("sublimtion") vs, subordination of its choices to reptilian ends. In other terms, this would be the Way of the Father, reflected through the Sun, source of Warmth (origin of myth of snake-sun worship); confluent with the Way of the Mother, reflected through the Moon (origin of myth of metaphysical Lunar/female periodicity). The confluence of these two streams of brain processes, Animus and Anima in Jung's analytic psychology. Over time, taken to extremes converting into their opposite, a latent personal individuality blending both is born. A child of the Divine Wedding.

The Reptiles Are Here

PROTOCOL No. 3
1. To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a few steps off. There remains a small space to cross and the whole long path we have trodden is ready now to close its cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people. When this ring closes, all the States of Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful vice.

McCain Won't Rule Out Pre-Emptive War

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080409/D8VUKHHO0.html

Apr 9, 6:49 PM (ET)

WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) - Republican Sen. John McCain refused Wednesday to rule out a pre-emptive war against another country, although he said one would be very unlikely.

The likely Republican presidential nominee was asked Wednesday at a town-hall style meeting if he would reject "the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war," a reference to Bush's decision to invade Iraq without it having attacked the United States.

"I don't think you could make a blanket statement about pre-emptive war, because obviously, it depends on the threat that the United States of America faces," McCain told his audience at Bridgewater Associates Inc., a global investment firm.

"If someone is about to launch a weapon that would devastate America, or have the capability to do so, obviously, you would have to act immediately in defense of this nation's national security interests."

McCain said he would consult more closely and more carefully "not with every member of Congress, but certainly the leaders of Congress."

The Iraq war was in the spotlight this week as Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander there, gave Congress a status report on the war. McCain argues for keeping troops in Iraq to capitalize on security gains, despite a recent outbreak of violence. His Democratic rivals, Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton argue for withdrawing troops.

********

II. Noone will stop the stove piping of false information used to lyingly frame other countries in order to kill them "before they kill us", such as Douglas Feith's Pentagon OSP did to Cheney.

See also, the NIE report on Iranian nuclear threat.

********

III. U.S. Ambassador Crocker (:-( announces some sort of mutual defense military pact, with "the Iraqi government" (:-( , authorized by executive order, by-passing Senate consultation and binding the options of the next president. It was a blatant preemptive political strike. The Dems winced, and cowed.

*********

IV. Evidence of Iran training special forces inside Iraq killing American soldiers supplied by Perfidious Pertrifus putridious.

********

Summary

I=> preemptive strike; II => contrived excuse; III=> Congressional complicity; IV => lying General; =>

********

V. => Token-Trail. setting up another act of U.S. terrorism on foreign soil. It allows Bush to launch a "preemptive" strike against Iran, thus binding the next administration with another ghastly, unnecessary mess to clean up.

********

VI. => The attack could be launched in response to a FALSE FLAG OPERATION, as is presumed by the majority of rational informed people all over the world to have been the case. THIS POSSIBILITY WILL BE IGNORED IN THE RUSH TO STRIKE BACK. THAT IS THE LIZARD BRAIN REACTION. Neocon Bush snake handlers have put the future of civilization in the hands of intelligence/counter-intelligence/counter-counter-intelligence, who keeps track on the streets of Lahore? arms trading sob's with grudges to settle.

********

VII. IF SUCH AN EVENT HAPPENS (an event of ambiguous origin supplying pretext for an attack) the media, government officials, politicians WILL AROUSE AND TAKE CONTROL OF BRAIN WASHED LIZARD MINDS ALL OVER THE EARTH.

********

VIII. John McCain => the lizards' candidate to take over after the bombing of Iran.

********

IX. Confirmation. Dick Morris on Fox News O'Reilley show: "Obama will look weak on Iraq along side McCain. He doesn't have answers to lots of questions about the consequences of pulling out. Weak." Signal to right wing lizard brain, which everyone is afraid of (in themselves).

Scent of fear. Strike back. That's them.
