The U.S. Government: A History of Scapegoating (Iran Not the Real Target)

Some time ago, during the Clinton administration, I learned that a group of Israeli/American extremists in Washington were planning on forcing the US to invade Iran. 

Some of these people worked with friends in the White House, some being taped by the FBI tied to spying by their closest associates, spying on the US, nuclear secrets and such, secrets passed on by Israel to China.

As soon as Bush took office, friends at every agency told me they were being asked to submit falsified intelligence about weapons programs in Iraq and terrorist cells in both Iraq and Iran.  They said the orders came from the president’s national security advisor who was planning a war on Iraq.

Other friends, some at the highest levels of government, Reagan onward, now working as lobbyists, told me a pattern was emerging and that war was coming.

All were good friends of Israel, some had visited many times, some actually headed pro-Israeli organizations in the US.

Even friends in Israel, folks on the military side, warned that things were getting out of control in America.  “Duff, we have some crazy suckers here but the gang you guy are stuck with all belong in straitjackets.”

They told me that Republican lobbying organizations were being approached by Islamic charities.

The charities had a history of working for the CIA during the long war against the Soviets in Afghanistan and were still active in trying to put things back together with the millions of refugees who remained in Pakistan and the total destruction of the economy in Afghanistan.

The new Taliban government wasn’t helping with their bizarre religious practices and extreme hostility toward both the US and Pakistan.

The story was that Karl Rove had ordered US Attorney’s to target Muslims, including dozens of top CIA assets, for arrest as terrorists.  You can imagine the confusion that began to cause around Washington.

Those who work the region, I am one of those, know to what degree the US got involved in long term tribal and ethnic hostilities in Afghanistan and the horrible mess we left when we simply walked away.

The CIA created the Taliban when it could have been something very different. We left a vacuum which was filled by India with their intrigues in Kashmir and their desire to foment terrorism in Pakistan.

This is never spoken of but Kashmir is critical, it is a largely Muslim region, certainly mostly Pakistan, that was invaded by India and is used as a military threat with the local population subjected to the same horrors Israel subjected the Palestinian people to for over 60 years.

But that never happened.  Just rent the movie Exodus or turn on Fox News.  You will never hear that 95% of the land Israeli Jews live on now was under legal title to Palestinians who had been there for some time.

Palestinians, of course, were Christians for hundreds of years as were all citizens of the region.
