    THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROTESTS IN IRAN/By Seyed Mohammad Marandi

    1. Allegations of “mass casualties” among Iran protesters are not dependable. They come from a group called Center for Human Rights in Iran. The Center for Human Rights in Iran is NOT in Iran. It is in New York.
    2. Is it an Iranian group? No. It is financed by the CIA-adjacent National Endowment for Democracy in Washington DC and related bodies, specializing in disinformation.
    3. It is led by the people of Iran? No. The chairwoman is Minky Worden, an American who ran anti-China campaigns for many years. She tried to get the Beijing winter Olympics renamed “the genocide Olympics” and cancelled. She failed.
    4. Previously, Ms Worden worked closely with the Hong Kong “pro-democracy” movement (also NED-funded) and her husband was on the board of Apple Daily and had a contract with the Pentagon. Yes, the US regime-change operations around the world are THAT incestuous.
    5. The other main source of unbelievable tales of massive protests and huge numbers of deaths in Iran are coming from the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA). This is also a NED-funded, US-based disinformation outlet.

    1. Introduction: International Law.

     

    Western Governments’ “Complicity in Genocide”

     

    A genocide is being conducted by the Netanyahu proxy government against the people of Palestine.

    By supporting Israel, Western governments are “complicit” in the conduct of genocide under Articles III and IV of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

    Article III (e) Complicity in genocide. 

    Article IV. Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished [Article III(e)], whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals.”  *emphasis added)

     


    2. VIDEO: Michel Chossudovsky

     


    It is important that the peace movement take cognizance of the fact that their own heads of State and heads of government, namely Biden, Starmer, Trudeau, Macron, Scholz, et. al. (see them smiling) are from a legal standpoint “complicit” (Genocide Convention),  inasmuch as they are supportive of Israel’s atrocities committed against the People of Palestine.

    Western allies must keep aiding Ukraine: Biden in Germany - The Tribune

    La classe politique criminalisée”.

     

    It’s the “criminalization of politics”.

     

    Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished [article III e], whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals.

    THEY ARE CRIMINALS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW

    THEY ARE LIABLE: “PREVENTION AND PUNISHMENT”

    QUESTION THEIR LEGITIMACY

    This is a powerful instrument for the anti-war movement.

    Confront your “responsible rulers” and “public officials”, not to mention the Big Money and financial institutions who are behind the war.

    There is another dimension, The Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC).

    Since World War II,  all  U.S.-led wars have  deliberately targeted civilians, which is a crime against humanity under The Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC), which consists in:

    “….respect for and protection of the civilian population and civilian objects, the Parties to the conflict shall at all times distinguish between the civilian population and combatants and between civilian objects and military objectives and accordingly shall direct their operations only against military objectives.” [Additional Protocol 1, Article 48]

    Remember Fallujah, Iraq 2006

    3. Partners in Crime

     

    While the IDF is responsible for the conduct of the atrocities, the U.S. War Machine is a partner in crime. The conduct of the genocide has been planned for several years in consultation with the Pentagon and NATO.

    Israel’s Secret Intelligence Memorandum

     

    An official “secret” memorandum authored by Israel’s  Ministry of Intelligence “is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula”, namely to a refugee camp in Egyptian territory. There are indications of Israel-Egypt negotiations  as well as consultations with the U.S.

    The 10-page document, dated Oct. 13, 2023, bears the logo of the Intelligence Ministry. …

    It recommends a full population transfer as its preferred course of action. …

    4. The genocide against Palestine is part of a broader war.

     

    Israel is a de facto member of NATO and an ally of the U.S.

    It is not Israel which is waging a war against Iran. The Pentagon calls the shots on behalf of US-NATO-Israel.

    Israel has become an instrument of the Pentagon.

    Netanyahu is a proxy. Israel does not act without the consent of US-NATO. 

    What Is Washington’s Unspoken Intent? Let Your Allies Do the Dirty Work for You? 

     

    Flash back to 2005: At the outset of Bush’s second term, Vice President Dick Cheney dropped a bombshell, hinting that Israel would, so to speak, be doing the dirty work for us (paraphrase) without US military involvement and without us putting pressure on them “to do it”.

    According to Cheney: (2005)

    “The Israelis might well decide to act first, and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up the diplomatic mess afterwards,” 

    Israel would not be able to act unilaterally against Iran, without a green light from the Pentagon which controls key components of Israel’s air defense system.

    America’s NATO allies, most of which are members of the European Union, are also “doing the dirty work” for the Pentagon. This is abundantly clear in their actions in support of the Kiev regime.

    5. US Central Command’s (USCENTCOM) Strategy of “Dual Containment”

     

    In practice, a war on Iran were it to occur, would be a joint US-NATO-Israeli endeavor, coordinated by US Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with America’s allies playing a key (subordinate) role.” (Quoted from my 2018 article)

    The “War on Iran” has been on the drawing board of the Pentagon since the mid-1990s under US Central Command’s (USCENTCOM) “‘Strategy of Dual Containment’ directed against the Rogue States of Iraq and Iran” formulated during the Clinton administration.

    “First Iraq, then Iran”: The stockpiling and deployment of advanced weapons systems directed against Iran started in the immediate wake of the 2003 bombing and invasion of Iraq.

    From the outset, these war plans were led by the US, in liaison with NATO and Israel. The objective of the war on Iran was carefully outlined by US Central Command in liaison with US Strategic Command:

    “The broad national security interests and objectives expressed in the President’s National Security Strategy (NSS) and the Chairman’s National Military Strategy (NMS) form the foundation of the United States Central Command’s theater strategy. The NSS directs implementation of a strategy of dual containment of the rogue states of Iraq and Iran as long as those states pose a threat to U.S. interests, to other states in the region, and to their own citizens.

    Dual containment is designed to maintain the balance of power in the region without depending on either Iraq or Iran. USCENTCOM’s theater strategy is interest-based and threat-focused. The purpose of U.S. engagement, as espoused in the NSS, is to protect the United States’ vital interest in the region – uninterrupted, secure U.S./Allied access to Gulf oil.” (USCENTCOM, 1995, emphasis added)

    USCENTCOM’s statement confirms the criminal nature of Washington’s military agenda:

    “dual containment of the rogue states”,

    “protect the US’s vital interests in the region”

    “Secure US / Allied access to Gulf Oil”, through military intervention

    rather than bona fide “trade” with partner countries.


    6. “United States’ Vital Interest in the Region – Uninterrupted, Secure U.S./Allied Access to Gulf Oil”

     

    i. Iran: Third Largest Reserves of Oil Worldwide

     

    Iran is not only second in terms of its gas reserves after Russia, it ranks third worldwide in relation to its oil reserves (12% of worldwide oil reserves) versus a meagre 4% for the U.S.

    THAT IS WHY THEY WANT TO INVADE IRAN (USCENTCOM, 1995)

    ii. Iran Reserves of Natural Gas

     

    Iran ranks second after Russia. Russia, Iran and Qatar possess  54.1 percent of the world’s reserves of natural gas.

    Russia, 24.3%, 

    Iran, 17.3%, 

    Qatar, 12.5 % (in partnership with Iran)

    versus  5.3 % for the US.

    iii. Taking Control of the Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Maritime Gas Corridor

     

    Extending from the Egyptian border, Gaza and the Levant coastline, the unspoken objective is to take control and confiscate the maritime gas reserves.

    See Video: “Wiping Gaza Off the Map”: Big Money Agenda. Confiscating Palestine’s Maritime Natural Gas Reserves By Felicity Arbuthnot and Prof Michel Chossudovsky, September 04, 2024


    In other words the US NSS hegemonic objective is to take control of Iran’s OIL and GAS Reserves. “It’s America’s Promised Land,”(which ironically are portrayed as a threat to the environment, i.e. CO2 and the fake global warming narrative).


    Part II —which provides a timeline and history of US wars against Iran— will be published on my Substack in November 2024.

    A Good Guy Al Qaeda leader” has become President of Syria, with the endorsement of President Donald Trump.

    Ironically, this “good guy” Al Qaeda leader Al-Jawlani was until recently categorized as a terrorist by the U.S State Department 

    And the West applauds, celebrating the victory of  Hayat Tahir Al Sham (HTS) and its “former terrorist leader”

    The unspoken objective is to install an Islamist State led by Al Qaeda terrorist proxies

    Oops! Are these not the “same Al Qaeda bad guys” who allegedly brought down the World Trade Centre (WTC) on September 11, 2001 under the helm of Osama Bin Laden?

    In the astute words of (former) Ohio Congressman and two times presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich: 

    “The American people were told a fairy tale that we were supporting [Al Qaeda] freedom fighters against a dictator. What we actually accomplished was funding the terrorists who now murder Christians, massacre Alawite villages, and impose radical Islamic rule in areas they seize.

    It was a reckless intervention, driven by a geopolitical obsession with weakening Iran and Russia. It has not only destroyed Syria but it has also created a breeding ground for global terrorism”.

    The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman, President Donald Trump, Interim President of Syria Ahmed al-Shara (aka Muhammad Al-Jawlani)

    Meanwhile, The IMF and the World Bank –which boycotted the duly elected Al Assad presidency– have come to the rescue of the HTS “interim government” on condition that the debts of the ousted  government be  duly reimbursed.

    Has the UN Security Council endorsed the “New Government”

    The United Nations confirms that: 

    Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an armed group designated as a terrorist organization by the UN Security Council, has emerged as the dominant force in Syria, following the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime. 

     However, according to a core Security Council resolution on Syria adopted at the height of the civil conflict, HTS is regarded as a terrorist group.”

    Oops,

    “And what would it take [according to the UN] for HTS to no longer be considered a terrorist organization?”

     

    Donald Trump, the Western media and the US State Department have already provided the answer: He’s An “Al Qaeda Good Guy”

    Are Al Qaeda “Freedom Fighters” “Good Guys” or “Bad Guys”?

    “Yes. The CIA entered Afghanistan Before the Russians”. Zbigniew Brzezinski

    By

    Michel Chossudovsky 

     

    .

    According to this Nouvel Observateur (1998) interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the CIA’s intervention in Afghanistan preceded the 1979 entry of Soviet troops. 

    To label this as The Soviet Afghan War is a misnomer. Confirmed by Brzezinski, It is best described as the “U.S.-Al Qaeda War against Afghanistan”.  The US started this war against The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, with a view to destroying a secular nation state committed to women’s rights and universal public education. 

    The planning of this war involving the recruitment of so-called. “freedom fighters” (good guy mercenaries) was marked by the active recruitment of  Al Qaeda (The Base), namely terrorists acting covertly on behalf of the United States. This included Osama Bin Laden who had been recruited by the CIA. 

    The first war in 1979-1980 was described as a “Covert Action Support to the Afghan Resistance “ (NSDD 166, see Declassified below) which consisted in funding and supporting the recruitment of Al Qaeda “freedom fighters”. 

    22 years later a Second War entitled US-NATO War against Afghanistan was undertaken:

    On September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda, under the leadership of Osama bin Laden allegedly attacked the WTC and the Pentagon with endorsement of Afghanistan (see below for details)

    “Yes. The CIA entered Afghanistan Before the Russians”. Zbigniew Brzezinski

    Le Nouvel Observateur (LNO): The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs [“From the Shadows”], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?

    Zbigniew Brzezinski (ZB)Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.

    LNO: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it?

    ZB: It isn’t quite that. We didn’t push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.

    LNO: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn’t believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don’t regret anything today?

    ZBRegret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.

    LNO: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?

    ZB: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

    LNO: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.

    ZB: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn’t a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.

    Video: Hillary fully concurs with Brzezinski 

    Al Qaeda: It was “a pretty good idea”, says Hillary, and it remains a good idea today.

    In the course of the last 45 years since the since the onslaught of the so-called Soviet-Afghan War, the US has not ceased to support and finance Al Qaeda as a means to destabilizing and impoverishing sovereign countries.

    TRANSCRIPT 

    “Let’s remember here… the people we are fighting today we funded them twenty years ago… and we did it because we were locked in a struggle with the Soviet Union.

    “They invaded Afghanistan… and we did not want to see them control Central Asia and we went to work… and it was President Reagan in partnership with Congress led by Democrats who said you know what it sounds like a pretty good idea… let’s deal with the ISI and the Pakistan military and let’s go recruit these mujahideen.

    “And great, let them come from Saudi Arabia and other countries, importing their Wahabi brand of Islam so that we can go beat the Soviet Union.

    “And guess what … they (Soviets) retreated … they lost billions of dollars and it led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    “So there is a very strong argument which is… it wasn’t a bad investment in terms of Soviet Union but let’s be careful with what we sow… because we will harvest.

    “So we then left Pakistan … We said okay fine you deal with the Stingers that we left all over your country… you deal with the mines that are along the border and… by the way we don’t want to have anything to do with you… in fact we’re sanctioning you… So we stopped dealing with the Pakistani military and with ISI and we now are making up for a lot of lost time.” (HILLARY CLINTON)

    President Ronald Reagan issued (and signed) the National Security Decision Directive 166 (NSDD 166), which de facto authorized  “stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen” as well as CIA support to religious indoctrination.

     

     

    President Reagan and Mujahideen leaders from Afghanistan, 1980s

    Are Al Qaeda “Freedom Fighters”  “Good Guys” or “Bad Guys”?

    “Al-Qaeda (Arabic for “The Base”, i.e The Data Base of CIA recruits) grew out of and became identical with the Arab-Afghan Legion, those terrorists recruited by the United States of America, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Originally sent to Afghanistan, they fought the USSR’s army and air force following the Soviet Union’s intervention of that country.

    Later, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA, the Agency) directed them to cross the border and destabilize the Muslim republics of the Soviet Union.

    Still later, the American government moved them into the Balkans to destroy Yugoslavia, and then similarly to Iraq, followed by Libya and Syria.” (J. Michael Springmann, attorney, author, political commentator, and former U.S. diplomat)

    Al Qaeda: “Good Guys” in the 1980s?

    The promotion of “Radical Islam” was a  CIA initiative (NSDD 166) with a view to supporting the so-called “Afghan Resistance” against the Soviet Union

    Among the most hideous crimes against humanity committed in Afghanistan was to CLOSE DOWN  PUBLIC SCHOOLS, replacing them by CIA sponsored KORANIC SCHOOLS.

    The number of CIA sponsored religious schools (madrasahs) increased from 2,500 in 1980 to over 39,000. Public education was dismantled. USAID generously financed the process of religious indoctrination, largely to secure the demise of secular institutions and the collapse of civil society.

    In the Pashtun language, the word “Taliban” means “Students”, or graduates of the madrasahs (places of learning or koranic schools) set up by the Wahhabi missions from Saudi Arabia, with the support of the CIA.

    “The United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings….

    The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system’s core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books ….

    The pictures [in] the texts are horrendous to school students, but the texts are even much worse’ said Ahmad Fahim Hakim, an Afghan educator [working with] a Pakistan-based nonprofit.

    An aid worker in the region reviewed an unrevised 100-page book and counted 43 pages containing violent images or passages.

    Published in the dominant Afghan languages of Dari and Pashtu, the textbooks were developed in the early 1980s under an AID grant to the University of Nebraska-Omaha and its Center for Afghanistan Studies. The agency spent $51 million on the university’s education programs in Afghanistan from 1984 to 1994“, (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)

     

     

     

    Textbook printing and distribution by the University of Nebraska, Omaha, in partnership with U.S. Strategic Command, Omaha continued in 2002 and 2003 with funding from USAID, with another 15 million copies: a total of more  than 30 million text-books with hideous images, for a total population of 36 million.

    Al Qaeda: ” Bad Guys” in the Wake of 9/11 

    The US-NATO “Humanitarian War” against Afghanistan was launched on October 7, 2001

    An act of war by a foreign nation (Afghanistan) against a member of the North Atlantic Alliance (the USA) was considered as an act of war against all members under NATO’s doctrine of collective security.

    Under no stretch of the imagination, can the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon be categorized as an act of war by a foreign country. But nobody seemed to have raised this issue.

    On October 5, NATO Secretary General calls for the invasion of Afghanistan on October 7, 2001:

    undefined“The facts are clear and compelling. The information presented points conclusively to an al-Qaida role [CIA recruits ] in the September 11 attacks.

    We know that the individuals who carried out these attacks were part of the world-wide terrorist network of al-Qaida [The CIA database], headed by Osama bin Laden [recruited by the US in the early 1980s] and his key lieutenants and protected by the Taliban.

    On the basis of this briefing, it has now been determined that the attack against the United States on September 11 was directed from abroad [Afghanistan] and shall therefore be regarded as an action covered by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which states that an armed attack on one or more of the Allies in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.

    I want to reiterate that the United States of America can rely on the full support of its 18 NATO Allies in the campaign against terrorism.”

    (Lord Robertson, NATO Secretary General (image Left), statement to the NATO Council, State Department, Appendix H, Multinational Response to September 11 NATO Press, http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/10313.pdf, accessed 24 November 2009, emphasis added)

    In other words, on October 5, 2001, two days before the actual commencement of the bombing campaign on October 7, the North Atlantic Council decided, based on the information provided by a mysterious consultant Frank Taylor (US Ambassador at Large) briefed the Atlantic Council

    “that the attacks were directed from abroad” by Al Qaeda, headed by Osama bin Laden, thereby requiring an action on the part of NATO under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty (See U.S. State Gov Archive, emphasis added)

    Al Qaeda “Good Guys” Again in December 2024. Al Qaeda “Liberates Syria”

    The main actors in the December 8, 2024 coup d’Etat who were described by the media as “rebels” are Al Qaeda affiliated mercenaries, all of whom are supported by Western and Israeli intelligence.

    According to the the BBC “democracy” is to be reinstated under the leadership  Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani.  of an Islamist terrorist entity entitled Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), previously affiliated to Al  Qaeda. [the Data base].

    Ironically, this “good guy” Al Qaeda leader Al-Jawlani is still categorized as a terrorist by the U.S, State Department. 

     

    And the West applauds, celebrating the victory of  Tahir Al Sham. 

    Their unspoken objective is to install an Islamist State led by Al Qaeda terrorist proxies.

    Oops! Are these not the “same guys” who allegedly brought down the WTC  and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 under the helm of Osama Bin Laden?

    Throughout history, “wars of religion” have served to obscure the economic and strategic interests behind the conquest and invasion of foreign lands. “Wars of religion” were invariably fought with a view to securing control over trading routes and natural resources. 

    The Crusades extending from the 11th to the 14th Century are often presented by historians as  “a continuous series of military-religious expeditions made by European Christians in the hope of wresting the Holy Land from the infidel Turks.” The objective of the Crusades, however, had little to do with religion.

    The Crusades largely consisted, through military action, in challenging the dominion of the Muslim merchant societies, which controlled the Eastern trade routes.  

    The “Just War” supported the Crusades.

    War was waged with the support of the Catholic Church, acting as an instrument of religious propaganda and indoctrination, which was used in the enlistment throughout Europe of thousands of peasants, serfs and urban vagabonds.

     

    America’s Crusade in Central Asia and the Middle East. The Battle for Oil and Natural Gas

    In the eyes of public opinion, possessing a “just cause” for waging war is central. A war is said to be “Just” if it is waged on moral, religious or ethical grounds.

    America’s Crusade in Central Asia and the Middle East is no exception. The “war on terrorism” purports to defend the American Homeland and protect the “civilized world”.

    It is upheld as a “war of religion”, a “clash of civilizations”, when in fact the main objective of this war is to secure control and corporate ownership over the region’s extensive oil wealth, while also imposing under the helm of the IMF and the World Bank , the privatization of State enterprises and the transfer of  the countries’ economic assets into the hands of foreign capital. .

    The Just War theory upholds war as a “humanitarian operation”. It serves to camouflage the real objectives of the military operation, while providing a moral and principled image to the invaders. In its contemporary version, it calls for military intervention on ethical and moral grounds against “rogue states” and “Islamic terrorists”, which are threatening the Homeland.

     

     

    jus ad bellum.

    Possessing a “just cause” for waging war was central to the Bush administration’s justification for invading and occupying both Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Taught in US military academies, a modern-day version of the “Just War” theory has been embodied into US military doctrine. The “war on terrorism” and the notion of “preemption” are predicated on the right to “self defense.” They define “when it is permissible to wage war”: jus ad bellum.   

    Jus ad bellum serves to build a consensus within the Armed Forces command structures. It also serves to convince the troops that the enemy is “evil” and that they are fighting for a “just cause”. More generally, the Just War theory in its modern day version is an integral part of war propaganda and media disinformation, applied to gain public support for a war agenda.

    The Battle for Oil. Demonization  the Enemy

    War builds a humanitarian agenda. Throughout history, vilification of the enemy has been applied time and again.

    The Crusades consisted in demonizing the Turks as infidels and heretics, with a view to justifying military action.

    Demonization serves geopolitical and economic objectives. Likewise, the campaign against “Islamic terrorism” (which is supported covertly by US intelligence) supports the conquest of oil wealth. The term “Islamo-fascism,” serves to degrade the policies, institutions, values and social fabric of Muslim countries, while also upholding the tenets of “Western democracy” and the “free market” as the only alternative for these countries.

    The US-NATO led war in the broader Middle East Central Asian region consists in gaining control over more than sixty percent of the world’s reserves of oil and natural gas. The Anglo-American oil giants also seek to gain control over oil and gas pipeline routes out of the region.

    Venezuela has the largest reserves Worldwide.

    Muslim countries which are the object of US-NATO wars, regime change, etc. include Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Yemen, Libya, Nigeria, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, These countries possess more than 55% of the World’s oil reserves.(See table, October 2024).

    The World’s total reserves (latest data) are of the order of  1,650,585,140,000 (click for latest data, May 2025)

    Venezuela which has the largest share of oil reserves is threatened by the U.S. which has barely 2 percent of total oil reserves.

    The largest share of the World’s oil reserves lies in a region extending (North) from the tip of Yemen to the Caspian sea basin and (East) from the Eastern Mediterranean coastline to the Persian Gulf. This broader Middle East- Central Asian region, which is the theater of the US-led “war on terrorism” encompasses according to the estimates of World Oil, more than sixty percent of the World’s oil reserves. (See table below).

    Iraq has five times more oil than the United States. 

    Muslim countries possess more than 58% of the World’s oil reserves. 

    The major non-Muslim oil reserve countries are Venezuela, Canada, Russia, Mexico, China and Brazil.

    Demonization is applied to an enemy, which possesses a large share of the world’s oil and gas reserves. “Axis of evil”, “rogue States”, “failed nations”, “Islamic terrorists”: demonization and vilification are the ideological pillars of America’s “war on terror”. They serve as a casus belli for waging the battle for oil.

    The Battle for Oil requires the demonization of those who possess the oil.

    The enemy is characterized as evil, with a view to justifying military action including the mass killing of civilians.

    The Middle East Central Asian region is heavily militarized. (See map). The oil fields are encircled: NATO war ships stationed in the Eastern Mediterranean (as part of a UN “peace keeping” operation), US Carrier Strike Groups and Destroyer Squadrons in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian deployed as part of the “war on terrorism”.

    MIDDLE EAST OIL PRODUCTION

    The ultimate objective, combining military action, covert intelligence operations and war propaganda, is to break down the national fabric and transform sovereign countries into open economic territories, where natural resources can be plundered and confiscated  under “free market” supervision. This control also extends to strategic oil and gas pipeline corridors (e.g. Afghanistan).

    Demonization is a PSYOP, used to sway public opinion and build a consensus in favor of war.

    Psychological warfare is directly sponsored by the Pentagon and the US intelligence apparatus. It is not limited to assassinating or executing the rulers of Muslim countries,  it extends to entire populations.

    It also targets Muslims in Western Europe and North America.

    It purports to break national consciousness and the ability to resist the invader.

    It denigrates Islam.

    It creates social divisions. It is intended to divide national societies and ultimately trigger “civil war”.

    While it creates an environment which facilitates the outright appropriation of the countries’ resources, at the same time, it potentially backlashes, creates a new national consciousness, develops inter-ethnic solidarity, brings people together in confronting the invaders.

    It is worth noting that the triggering of  sectarian divisions and “civil wars” is contemplated in the process of redrawing of the map of the Middle East, where countries are slated to be broken up and transformed into territories.

    The map of the New Middle East, although not official, has been used by the US National War Academy.

    It was published in the Armed Forces Journal (June 2006). In this map, nation states are broken up, international borders are redefined along sectarian-ethnic lines, broadly in accordance with the interests of the Anglo-American oil giants (See Map below). The map has also been used in a training program at NATO’s Defense College for senior military officers.

    The Oil and Natural Gas Lies in Muslim Lands

    The oil lies in Muslim lands. Vilification of the enemy is part and parcel of Eurasia energy geopolitics. It is a direct function of the geographic distribution of the World’s oil and gas reserves. If the oil were in countries occupied predominantly by Buddhists or Hindus, one would expect that US foreign policy would be directed against Buddhists and Hindus, who would also be the object of vilification..

    In the Middle East  war theater, Iran  which is part of the “axis of evil”, is the next target according to official US statements.

    US sponsored “civil wars” and regime change have also been conducted in several other strategic oil and gas regions including Nigeria, the Sudan, Colombia, Somalia, Yemen, Angola, not to mention Chechnya and several republics of the former Soviet Union. Ongoing US sponsored “civil wars”, which often include the channelling of covert support to paramilitary groups, have been triggered in the Darfur region of Sudan as well as in Somalia, Darfur possesses extensive oil reserves. In Somalia, lucrative concessions have already been granted to four Anglo-American oil giants.

    “According to documents obtained by The Times, nearly two-thirds of Somalia was allocated to the American oil giants Conoco, Amoco [now part of BP], Chevron and Phillips in the final years before Somalia’s pro-U.S. President Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown and the nation plunged into chaos in January, 1991. Industry sources said the companies holding the rights to the most promising concessions are hoping that the Bush Administration’s decision to send U.S. troops to safeguard aid shipments to Somalia will also help protect their multimillion-dollar investments there.” (America’s Interests in Somalia, Global Research, 2002)

    Globalization and the Conquest of the World’s Energy Resources

    The collective demonization of Muslims, including the vilification of Islam, applied Worldwide, constitutes at the ideological level, an instrument of conquest of the World’s energy resources. It is part of the broader economic, political mechanisms underlying the New World Order.

    The 25 Countries: Oil Reserves 


    “شيطنة” مقاومة للمطر من النفط

    by Michel Chossudovsky

    نُشرت نسخة سابقة من هذه المقالة منذ أكثر من عشرين عامًا في 4 يناير 2007.

    على مر التاريخ، كانت “الحروب الدينية” بمثابة وسيلة لإخفاء المصالح الاقتصادية والاستراتيجية الكامنة وراء غزو الأراضي الأجنبية وغزوها. وكانت “الحروب الدينية” تُخاض دائماً بهدف تأمين السيطرة على طرق التجارة والموارد الطبيعية. 

    كثيراً ما يصور المؤرخون الحروب الصليبية التي امتدت من القرن الحادي عشر إلى القرن الرابع عشر باعتبارها  “سلسلة متواصلة من الحملات العسكرية الدينية التي قام بها المسيحيون الأوروبيون على أمل انتزاع الأرض المقدسة من الأتراك الكفار”. ولكن هدف الحروب الصليبية لم يكن له علاقة كبيرة بالدين.

    كانت الحروب الصليبية تتألف إلى حد كبير، من خلال العمل العسكري، من تحدي هيمنة المجتمعات التجارية الإسلامية، التي كانت تسيطر على طرق التجارة الشرقية.  

    “الحرب العادلة” دعمت الحروب الصليبية.

    وقد تم شن الحرب بدعم من الكنيسة الكاثوليكية، التي كانت بمثابة أداة للدعاية الدينية والتلقين، والتي تم استخدامها في تجنيد الآلاف من الفلاحين والأقنان والمتشردين في المناطق الحضرية في جميع أنحاء أوروبا.

    الحملة الأميركية في آسيا الوسطى والشرق الأوسط: معركة النفط والغاز الطبيعي

    في نظر الرأي العام، يعد وجود ” سبب عادل” لشن الحرب أمراً أساسياً. وتُقال الحرب “عادلة” إذا تم شنها على أسس أخلاقية أو دينية أو أخلاقية.

    إن الحملة الصليبية التي تشنها أميركا في آسيا الوسطى والشرق الأوسط ليست استثناءً. إذ تزعم “الحرب على الإرهاب” أنها تهدف إلى الدفاع عن الوطن الأميركي وحماية “العالم المتحضر”.

    إن الحرب في المنطقة هي حرب دينية، وصراع حضارات، في حين أن الهدف الرئيسي لهذه الحرب هو تأمين السيطرة والملكية للشركات على ثروات المنطقة النفطية الهائلة، وفي الوقت نفسه فرض خصخصة الشركات المملوكة للدولة ونقل الأصول الاقتصادية للبلدان إلى أيدي رأس المال الأجنبي، تحت قيادة صندوق النقد الدولي والبنك الدولي.

    وترى نظرية الحرب العادلة أن الحرب هي “عملية إنسانية”. وهي تهدف إلى تمويه الأهداف الحقيقية للعملية العسكرية ، في حين تقدم صورة أخلاقية ومبدئية للغزاة. وفي نسختها المعاصرة، تدعو إلى التدخل العسكري على أسس أخلاقية ومعنوية ضد “الدول المارقة” و”الإرهابيين الإسلاميين”، الذين يهددون الوطن.

    إعمال الحق في الحرب .

    إن امتلاك “قضية عادلة” لشن الحرب كان بمثابة العنصر الأساسي في تبرير إدارة بوش لغزو واحتلال كل من أفغانستان والعراق.

    لقد تم تجسيد نسخة حديثة من نظرية “الحرب العادلة” في العقيدة العسكرية الأميركية، والتي يتم تدريسها في الأكاديميات العسكرية الأميركية. إن “الحرب ضد الإرهاب” ومفهوم “الاستباق” يقومان على أساس الحق في “الدفاع عن النفس”. إنهما يحددان “متى يجوز شن الحرب”: حق اللجوء إلى الحرب .   

    إن مبدأ “الحق في الحرب” يعمل على بناء توافق داخل هياكل القيادة في القوات المسلحة. كما يعمل على إقناع القوات بأن العدو “شرير” وأنهم يقاتلون من أجل “قضية عادلة”. وبشكل عام، فإن نظرية الحرب العادلة في نسختها الحديثة تشكل جزءًا لا يتجزأ من الدعاية الحربية والتضليل الإعلامي، والتي يتم تطبيقها لكسب الدعم العام لأجندة الحرب.

    معركة النفط: شيطنة العدو

    إن الحرب تبني أجندة إنسانية. وعلى مر التاريخ، كان تشويه سمعة العدو يتم مراراً وتكراراً.

    كانت الحروب الصليبية تهدف إلى شيطنة الأتراك وتصويرهم على أنهم كفار وزنادقة، بهدف تبرير العمل العسكري.

    إن شيطنة الإسلام تخدم أهدافاً جيوسياسية واقتصادية. وعلى نحو مماثل، تدعم الحملة ضد “الإرهاب الإسلامي” (الذي تدعمه الاستخبارات الأميركية سراً) الاستيلاء على ثروات النفط. ويخدم مصطلح “الفاشية الإسلامية” في إهانة السياسات والمؤسسات والقيم والنسيج الاجتماعي للدول الإسلامية، في حين يدعم أيضاً مبادئ “الديمقراطية الغربية” و”السوق الحرة” باعتبارها البديل الوحيد لهذه الدول.

    إن الحرب التي تقودها الولايات المتحدة وحلف شمال الأطلسي في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وآسيا الوسطى تتلخص في السيطرة على أكثر من ستين في المائة من احتياطيات العالم من النفط والغاز الطبيعي. كما تسعى شركات النفط العملاقة الأنجلوأميركية إلى السيطرة على خطوط أنابيب النفط والغاز التي تخرج من المنطقة.

    تمتلك فنزويلا أكبر احتياطيات في العالم.

    الدول الإسلامية التي هي هدف لحروب الولايات المتحدة وحلف شمال الأطلسي وتغيير الأنظمة وما إلى ذلك تشمل المملكة العربية السعودية والعراق وإيران والكويت والإمارات العربية المتحدة وقطر واليمن وليبيا ونيجيريا والجزائر وكازاخستان وأذربيجان وماليزيا وإندونيسيا وبروناي،  وتمتلك هذه الدول أكثر من 55٪ من احتياطيات النفط في العالم. ( انظر الجدول ).

    يبلغ إجمالي احتياطيات العالم حوالي 1,650,585,140,000

    انقر هنا للحصول على القائمة الكاملة للدول: احتياطيات النفط  (عدادات النفط العالمية)

    فنزويلا التي تمتلك أكبر حصة من احتياطيات النفط تتعرض للتهديد من قبل الولايات المتحدة التي تمتلك بالكاد 2% من إجمالي احتياطيات النفط.

    إن الحصة الأكبر من احتياطيات النفط العالمية تقع في منطقة تمتد (شمالاً) من طرف اليمن إلى حوض بحر قزوين و(شرقاً) من ساحل شرق البحر الأبيض المتوسط ​​إلى الخليج العربي. وهذه المنطقة الأوسع من الشرق الأوسط وآسيا الوسطى، والتي تشكل مسرحاً لـ”الحرب على الإرهاب” التي تقودها الولايات المتحدة، تضم وفقاً لتقديرات شركة النفط العالمية أكثر من ستين في المائة من احتياطيات النفط العالمية. (انظر الجدول أدناه).

    العراق يملك خمسة أضعاف النفط الموجود في الولايات المتحدة. 

    تمتلك الدول الإسلامية أكثر من 58% من احتياطي النفط العالمي. 

    الدول الرئيسية غير الإسلامية التي تمتلك احتياطيات نفطية هي فنزويلا وكندا وروسيا والمكسيك والصين والبرازيل.

    إن الشيطنة تُطبَّق على عدو يمتلك حصة كبيرة من احتياطيات النفط والغاز في العالم. “محور الشر”، و”الدول المارقة”، و”الدول الفاشلة”، و”الإرهابيون الإسلاميون”: إن الشيطنة والتشهير هما الركائز الإيديولوجية لـ”الحرب ضد الإرهاب” التي تشنها أميركا. وهما بمثابة ذريعة لشن معركة من أجل النفط.

    إن المعركة من أجل النفط تتطلب شيطنة أولئك الذين يملكون النفط.

    ويتم وصف العدو بأنه شرير، بهدف تبرير العمل العسكري بما في ذلك القتل الجماعي للمدنيين.

    إن منطقة الشرق الأوسط وآسيا الوسطى منطقة عسكرية بشكل كبير (انظر الخريطة). كما أن حقول النفط محاصرة: سفن حربية تابعة لحلف شمال الأطلسي متمركزة في شرق البحر الأبيض المتوسط ​​(كجزء من عملية “حفظ السلام” التابعة للأمم المتحدة)، ومجموعات حاملات الطائرات الأميركية وأسراب المدمرات المنتشرة في الخليج العربي كجزء من “الحرب على الإرهاب”.

    إن الهدف النهائي، الذي يجمع بين العمل العسكري والعمليات الاستخباراتية السرية والدعاية الحربية، يتلخص في تفكيك النسيج الوطني وتحويل الدول ذات السيادة إلى أراضٍ اقتصادية مفتوحة، حيث يمكن نهب الموارد الطبيعية ومصادرتها تحت إشراف “السوق الحرة”. ويمتد هذا التحكم أيضاً إلى ممرات خطوط الأنابيب الاستراتيجية للنفط والغاز (على سبيل المثال أفغانستان).

    الشيطنة هي عملية نفسية تستخدم للتأثير على الرأي العام وبناء إجماع لصالح الحرب .

    إن الحرب النفسية ترعاها بشكل مباشر وزارة الدفاع وأجهزة الاستخبارات الأميركية، وهي لا تقتصر على اغتيال أو إعدام حكام الدول الإسلامية، بل إنها تمتد إلى شعوب بأكملها.

    ويستهدف أيضًا المسلمين في أوروبا الغربية وأميركا الشمالية.

    إنها تهدف إلى كسر الوعي الوطني والقدرة على مقاومة الغزاة.

    إنه يسيء للإسلام.

    إنها تخلق انقسامات اجتماعية، وتهدف إلى تقسيم المجتمعات الوطنية، وفي نهاية المطاف إشعال فتيل “حرب أهلية”.

    في حين أنها تخلق بيئة تسهل الاستيلاء المباشر على موارد البلدان، فإنها في الوقت نفسه قد تكون ذات آثار عكسية، وتخلق وعياً وطنياً جديداً، وتطور التضامن بين الأعراق، وتجمع الناس في مواجهة الغزاة.

    ومن الجدير بالذكر أن إثارة الانقسامات الطائفية و”الحروب الأهلية” أمر وارد في عملية إعادة رسم خريطة الشرق الأوسط ، حيث من المقرر تقسيم البلدان وتحويلها إلى أقاليم.

    خريطة الشرق الأوسط الجديد، على الرغم من أنها غير رسمية، فقد تم استخدامها من قبل الأكاديمية الحربية الوطنية الأمريكية.

    وقد نشرت هذه الخريطة مؤخراً في مجلة القوات المسلحة (يونيو/حزيران 2006). وفي هذه الخريطة يتم تقسيم الدول القومية وإعادة تحديد الحدود الدولية على أسس طائفية عرقية، بما يتفق على نطاق واسع مع مصالح شركات النفط الأنجلوأميركية العملاقة (انظر الخريطة أدناه). كما تم استخدام الخريطة في برنامج تدريبي في كلية الدفاع التابعة لحلف شمال الأطلسي لكبار الضباط العسكريين.

    النفط والغاز الطبيعي موجودان في الأراضي الإسلامية

    إن النفط موجود في الأراضي الإسلامية. وتشويه سمعة العدو يشكل جزءاً لا يتجزأ من الجغرافيا السياسية للطاقة في أوراسيا. وهو نتيجة مباشرة للتوزيع الجغرافي لاحتياطيات النفط والغاز في العالم. ولو كان النفط موجوداً في بلدان يسكنها أغلبية من البوذيين أو الهندوس، لكان من المتوقع أن تتجه السياسة الخارجية الأميركية ضد البوذيين والهندوس، الذين سيكونون أيضاً هدفاً للتشويه.

    وفي مسرح الحرب في الشرق الأوسط، فإن إيران، التي تعد جزءاً من “محور الشر”، هي الهدف التالي وفقاً للتصريحات الرسمية الأميركية.

    ولقد شهدت العديد من مناطق النفط والغاز الاستراتيجية الأخرى، بما في ذلك نيجيريا والسودان وكولومبيا والصومال واليمن وأنجولا ، فضلاً عن الشيشان والعديد من جمهوريات الاتحاد السوفييتي السابق، “حروباً أهلية” برعاية الولايات المتحدة، والتي غالباً ما تتضمن توجيه الدعم السري للجماعات شبه العسكرية، وقد اندلعت في منطقة دارفور بالسودان، وكذلك في الصومال، التي تمتلك احتياطيات نفطية هائلة. وفي الصومال، مُنِحَت بالفعل امتيازات مربحة لأربع شركات نفطية بريطانية أميركية عملاقة.

    “ووفقاً لوثائق حصلت عليها صحيفة التايمز، فقد تم تخصيص ما يقرب من ثلثي أراضي الصومال لشركات النفط الأميركية العملاقة كونوكو وأموكو [وهي الآن جزء من شركة بي بي] وشيفرون وفيليبس في السنوات الأخيرة قبل الإطاحة بالرئيس الصومالي الموالي للولايات المتحدة محمد سياد بري وانزلاق البلاد إلى الفوضى في يناير/كانون الثاني 1991. وتقول مصادر صناعية إن الشركات التي تمتلك حقوق الامتيازات الأكثر وعداً تأمل أن يساعد قرار إدارة بوش بإرسال قوات أميركية لحماية شحنات المساعدات إلى الصومال في حماية استثماراتها التي تقدر بملايين الدولارات هناك”. ( مصالح أميركا في الصومال ، جلوبال ريسيرش، 2002)

    العولمة والاستيلاء على موارد الطاقة في العالم

    إن الشيطنة الجماعية للمسلمين، بما في ذلك تشويه صورة الإسلام، والتي يتم تطبيقها على مستوى العالم، تشكل على المستوى الإيديولوجي أداة للاستيلاء على موارد الطاقة العالمية. وهي جزء من الآليات الاقتصادية والسياسية الأوسع التي يقوم عليها النظام العالمي الجديد.

    Canada’s Sovereignty in Jeopardy: “51st State”, Déjà Vu: The Militarization of North America under President Donald Trump/ By Prof. Michel Chossudovsky

    Global Research, January 23, 2025
    17 August 2007

    Last December at  Trump’s luxury Mar a – Lago residence, President Elect Donald Trump intimated that Prime Minister Trudeau should become Governor of the 51st state of the United States of America.

    This was no joking matter. Canada described as the 51st State of the USA signifies the outright Annexation of Canada.

    In his  Inauguration speech on January 20, President Trump, referred to the deportation of illegal immigrants on the USA’s southern border with Mexico. Not a word was mentioned regarding America’s northern border with Canada. 

     

    The takeaway from Trudeau's trip to Mar-a-Lago: For Trump, fentanyl is ...

     

     

    Jean Chrétien’s Letter to Donald. “From One Old Guy to Another”

    A few days prior to Trump’s inauguration, former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien sent an open letter to Trump pointing to “The totally unacceptable insults and unprecedented threats to our very sovereignty from U.S. president-elect Donald Trump”. 

    “I have two very clear and simple messages. To Donald Trump, from one old guy to another: Give your head a shake! What could make you think that Canadians would ever give up the best country in the world … to join the United States?

    I can tell you Canadians prize our independence. We love our country.

    We also had the guts to say no to your country when it tried to drag us into a completely unjustified and destabilizing war in Iraq. [March 2003]

    But you don’t win a hockey game by only playing defence.

     All leaders across our country have united in resolve to defend Canadian interests.

    Now there is another existential threat. And we once again need to reduce our vulnerability. That is the challenge for this generation of political leaders.

    And you won’t accomplish it by using the same old approaches. Just like we did 30 years ago, we need a Plan B for 2025.

    Yes, telling the Americans we are their best friends and closest trading partner is good.

    But we also have to play offence. Let’s tell Mr. Trump that we too have border issues with the United States. 

    We also want to protect the Arctic. But the United States refuses to recognize the Northwest Passage, insisting that it is an international waterway, even though it flows through the Canadian Arctic as Canadian waters. We need the United States to recognize the Northwest Passage as being Canadian waters.

    Jean Chretien’s above statement regarding Canada’s Northwest Passage is but the tip of the Iceberg.

    The Creation of the 51st State is “Déjà Vu“. It Was Announced by Donald Rumsfeld in 2002

    Following the creation of US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) in April 2002, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced unilaterally (without consulting the government of Canada) that NORTHCOM’s territorial jurisdiction (land, sea, air) extended from the Caribbean basin to the Canadian arctic territories and the North Pole. What this means is that the U.S. gave itself the right to deploy its military by air, land and sea throughout Canada, including it internal waterways.  (see maps below)

    “The new command was given responsibility for the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, portions of the Caribbean and the contiguous waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans up to 500 miles off the North American coastline.

    NorthCom’s mandate is to “provide a necessary focus for [continental] aerospace, land and sea defenses, and critical support for [the] nation’s civil authorities in times of national need.”

    (Canada-US Relations – Defense Partnership – July 2003, Canadian American Strategic Review (CASR),

    Announced by Donald Rumsfeld, Northern Command US sovereignty  regarding the deployment of  the US military (land, waterways, air) encompasses Mexico, the U.S. and Canada, from the Caribbean up to North Pole.

    Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld boasted that:

    “the NORTHCOM – with all of North America as its geographic command – ‘is part of the greatest transformation of the Unified Command Plan [UCP] since its inception in 1947.’” (See Journal Canada Defense Forces)

     

    U.S Regional Commands in Six Regions of the World,

    USNORTHCOM, USSOUTHCOM, USAFRICOM, USEUCOM, USPACOM, USCENTCOM

     

    NORTHCOM’s stated mandate was to:

    “provide a necessary focus for [continental] aerospace, land and sea defenses, and critical support for [the] nation’s [US] civil authorities in times of national need.” (Canada-US Relations – Defense Partnership – July 2003, Canadian American Strategic Review (CASR),

     

    Canada and US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM)

    In December 2002, following the refusal of (former) Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to join US Northern Command (NORTHCOM) –which was announced unilaterally by the Bush Administration,  –, an interim bi-national military authority entitled the Binational Planning Group (BPG) was established.

    Canadian membership in NORTHCOM would have implied the integration of Canada’s military command structures with those of the US. That option had been temporarily deferred by the Chrétien government, through the creation of the Binational Planning Group (BPG).

    The BPG’s formal mandate in 2002 was to extend the jurisdiction of the US-Canada North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to cover sea, land and “civil forces”,  

    “to improve current Canada–United States arrangements to defend against primarily maritime threats to the continent and respond to land-based attacks, should they occur.”

    Although never acknowledged in official documents, the BPG was in fact established to prepare for the merger of NORAD and NORTHCOM,  thereby creating de facto conditions for Canada to join US Northern Command.

    The “Group” described as an “independent” military authority was integrated from the outset in December 2002 into the command structures of  NORAD and NORTHCOM, both operating out the same headquarters at the Peterson Air Force base in Colorado. In practice, the “Group” functioned under the jurisdiction of US Northern Command, which is controlled by the US Department of Defense.

    L'heure du rapprochement | Le DevoirJean Chrétien abruptly resigned in December 2003. Paul Martin, –who painted Jean Chrétien with  disdain– took over the position of Prime Minister, with a firm commitment to the Bush Administration’s’ USNORTHCOM project.

    In December 2004, in the context of President George W. Bush’s visit to Ottawa, it was agreed that the mandate of the BPG would be extended to May 2006. It was understood that this extension was intended to set the stage for Canada’s “subordinate membership” in USNORTHCOM.

    In March 2006, two months before the end of its mandate, the BPG published a task force document on North American security issues:

    “‘A continental approach’ to defense and security could facilitate binational maritime domain awareness and a combined response to potential threats, ‘which transcends Canadian and U.S. borders, domains, defense and security departments and agencies,’  (quoted in Homeland Defense watch, 20 July 2006)

    The BPG task force report called for the establishment of a “maritime mission” for NORAD including a maritime warning system. The report acted as a blueprint for the renegotiation of NORAD, which was implemented immediately following the release of the report.

    On April 28, 2006, an agreement negotiated behind closed doors was signed between the US and Canada. 

    The renewed NORAD agreement was signed in Ottawa by the US ambassador and the Canadian Minister of Defense Gordon O’Connor, without prior debate in the Canadian ParliamentThe House of Commons was allowed to rubberstamp a fait accompli, an agreement which had already been signed by the two governments. 

    “‘A continental approach  to defense and security could facilitate binational maritime domain awareness and a combined response to potential threats, “which transcends Canadian and U.S. borders, domains, defense and security departments and agencies,’ the report says.” (Homeland Defense Watch, May 8, 2006)

    While NORAD still exists in name, its organizational structure coincides with that of NORTHCOM. Following the April 28, 2006 agreement, in practical terms, NORAD has been merged into USNORTHCOM.

    \With the  exception of a token Canadian General, who occupied the position of  Deputy Commander of NORAD, the leadership of NORAD coincided with that of NORTHCOM. 
    These two military authorities are identical in structure, they occupy the same facilities at the Peterson Air Force base in Colorado.

    There was no official announcement of the renewed NORAD agreement, which hands over control of Canada’s territorial waters to the US, nor was there media coverage of this far-reaching decision. 

    The Deployment of US Troops on Canadian Soil

    At the outset of US Northern Command in April 2002, Canada accepted the right of the US to deploy US troops on Canadian soil.

    “U.S. troops could be deployed to Canada and Canadian troops could cross the border into the United States if the continent was attacked by terrorists who do not respect borders, according to an agreement announced by U.S. and Canadian officials.” (Edmunton Sun, 11 September 2002)

    With the creation of the BPG in December 2002, a binational  “Civil Assistance Plan” was established. The latter described the precise “conditions for deploying U.S. troops in Canada, or vice versa, in the aftermath of a terrorist attack or natural disaster.” (quoted in Inside the Army, 5 September 2005).

    The Demise of Canadian Sovereignty 

    In August 2006, the US State Department confirmed that a new NORAD Agreement had entered into force, while emphasizing that “the maritime domain awareness component was of ‘indefinite duration,’ albeit subject to periodic review.” (US Federal News, 1 August 2006).

    In March 2007, the US Senate Armed Services Committee confirmed that the NORAD Agreement had been formally renewed, to include a maritime warning system. In Canada, in contrast, there has been a deafening silence.

    In Canada, the renewed NORAD agreement went virtually unnoticed. There was no official pronouncement by the Canadian government of Stephen Harper. There was no analysis or commentary of its significance and implications for Canadian territorial sovereignty. The agreement was barely reported by the Canadian media.

    Operating under a “North American” emblem (i.e. a North American Command), the US military would have jurisdiction over Canadian territory from coast to coast; extending from the St Laurence Valley to the Queen Elizabeth archipelago in the Canadian Arctic.

    The agreement would allow for the establishment of “North American” military bases on Canadian territory. From an economic standpoint, it would also integrate the Canadian North, with its vast resources in energy and raw materials, with Alaska. 

    Nanasivik Naval Facility at Resolute Bay

    Ottawa’s July 2007 decision to establish a military facility at Resolute Bay in the Northwest Passage was not intended to reassert “Canadian sovereignty”. Quite the opposite. It was established in consultation with Washington and Northern Command.

    A deep-water port at Nanisivik  on the northern tip of Baffin Island was completed in mid-2024. It is expected to open up in early 2025 (see map below). 

    The US administration was firmly behind the Canadian government’s decision. The latter does not “reassert Canadian sovereignty”. Quite the opposite. It is a means to establishing US territorial control over Canada’s entire Arctic region,  its internal waterways including the strategic North West Passage, which de facto under the jurisdiction of  US Northern Command (NORTHCOM).

    There is an unspoken U.S. strategic and geopolitical objective behind the deep water port at Nanisivik, It’s the threat of Russia and China, largely in the sphere of “commercial traffic”:

    With the signing of a memorandum of understanding [in November 2024], the United States, Canada and Finland are moving ahead on what military analysts see as a belated but much-needed answer to a mounting Russian and Chinese threat in the Arctic Ocean.

    While the retreat of the polar icecap is steadily opening the region for commercial traffic and mineral exploration, the ICE Pact is largely driven by concerns over the Arctic capabilities of an increasingly hostile Russia and the rapidly growing presence of China.

    Donald Trump’s intent to “buy Greenland”  is related to Nanisivik plan to control strategic water ways, through the Baffin Bay and the North West Passage, which in words of  Prime Minister Jean Chrétien belongs to Canada:

    “We also want to protect the Arctic. But the United States refuses to recognize the Northwest Passage, insisting that it is an international waterway”.

    Finnish icebreaker traverses Northwest Passage in a record 24 days.

    “Integration” or  “Annexation” of Canada?

    Canada is contiguous to “the center of the empire”. Territorial control over Canada is part of the US geopolitical and military agenda. It is worth recalling in this regard, that throughout history, the “conquering nation” has expanded on its immediate borders, acquiring control over contiguous territories and maritime rights. In regards  to the U.S., this concept of “contiguous territories” relates to Canada, Mexico and part of the Caribbean.(See the USNORTHCOM above which also includes Cuba and the Bahamas)

    Military integration is intimately related to the ongoing process of integration in the spheres of trade, finance and investment. Needless to say, a large part of the Canadian economy is already in the hands of US corporate interests. In turn, the interests of Big Business in Canada tend to coincide with those of the US.

    Canada is already a de facto economic protectorate of the USA. NAFTA had not only opened up new avenues for US corporate expansion, it had laid the groundwork under the existing North American umbrella for the post 9/11 integration of military command structures, public security, intelligence and law enforcement.

    Canada’s entry into US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) was barely covered by Canada’s media.  USNORTHCOM was presented to public opinion as part of Canada-US “cooperation”, as something which was “in the national interest”, which “will create jobs for Canadians”, and “will make Canada more secure” (sounds a bit like “Trump rhetoric”)

    Ultimately what is at stake is that beneath the rhetoric, Canada will cease to function as a sovereign Nation:

    -Its borders will be controlled by US officials and confidential information on Canadians will be shared with Homeland Security.

    -US troops and Special Forces will be able to enter Canada as a result of a binational arrangement.

    -Canadian citizens can be arrested by US officials, acting on behalf of their Canadian counterparts and vice versa.

    But there is something perhaps even more fundamental in defining and understanding where Canada and Canadians stand as a nation.

    By endorsing a Canada-US “integration” in the spheres of defense, homeland security, police and intelligence, Canada –which refused wage war on Iraq in 2003– has also become a full fledged member of what George W. Bush’ called  the “Coalition of the Willing”, namely direct participation, through integrated military command structures, in the US-NATO war agenda in Ukraine, Central Asia, the Middle East and East Asia.

     

    Deja Thursday - The Coalition of the Willing is Back in Business ...

     

    Canada  has no longer an independent foreign policy.

    Under an integrated US North American Command,. Canada has been obliged to embrace Washington’s pre-emptive military doctrine, its bogus “global war on terrorism” which has been used as a pretext for waging war in the Middle East, South East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

    あなたは正しかった、ワクチンは私たちの愛する人の何百万人もの人を殺している」

    “You Were Right, Vaccines Are Killing Millions of Our Loved Ones”,  Kazuhiro Haraguchi, Former Minister of Internal Affairs (emphasis added)

    You will find diseases of the heart, kidney, thyroid, diabetes, liver, skin, eyes, blood, nerves, systemic diseases, brain, lungs”.  Professor Masayasu Inoue, Osaka City University School of Medicine, emphasis added)

    “The mRNA vaccine disperses throughout the body and is not contained in the shoulder like most vaccines.

    “It doesn’t know where to go. If it goes into the bloodstream, it goes to the brain, liver and kidneys,” Professor Masanori Fukushima, Kyoto University (emphasis added)

    Introduction 

    Global Research has recently published several articles on the Covid vaccine in Japan, confirming its lethality. This report by the Western Standard below pertains to the Press Conference of Medical doctors and scientists held in January 2024.
    .
    The evidence is overwhelming. It potentially affects 96 million vaccinated people in Japan. I should mention that the vaccines distributed in Japan are identical to those marketed Worldwide, namely Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna Spikevax Bivalent, AstraZeneca, etc.
    .
    The question yet to be confirmed is whether there are differences in the composition of the vaccine distributed in different countries and regions of the World.
     .
    There are numerous studies published in the course of the last three years which confirm the nature of the Vaccine. The results of the Japanese studies confirm unequivocally that the Covid “Vaccine” is a dangerous substance which should immediately be withdrawn Worldwide.
    .

    The Confidential Pfizer Report

     .
    The impact on mortality and morbidity of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine has been confirmed by a Pfizer Confidential Report — released and made public under Freedom of Information in October 2021. The Confidential Pfizer Report –barely acknowledged by the media– was known to national governments and health authorities Worldwide. It confirms that the so-called Covid Vaccine is a killer.
    .
    The negotiation between Pfizer and the President of the EC Mrs. Ursula von Der Leyen was initiated in October 2022, for 4.5 billion doses of Pfizer BioNtech, (namely 10 doses per person) .  A contract for one billion doses was subsequently reached for a population of 450 million people who in large part had already been vaccinated.
    What was carefully overlooked was the Pfizer report which confirms the impacts (mortality and morbidity) of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine to be distributed to the EU’s 450 million people.
     .
    “The Confidential report is a bombshell. The vaccine was launched in mid-December 2020. By the end of February 2021, Pfizer had already received more than 1,200 reports of deaths allegedly caused by the vaccine and tens of thousands of reported adverse events”
    .

    Covid “Vaccine” Triggers Excess Mortality Worldwide

    (See Diagrams below)

    Below is a summary of several studies on excess mortality pertaining to the vaccine including Japan.

    England and Wales

    “The table below pertains to excess deaths related to malignant neoplasm (cancerous tumor) in England and Wales, recorded in three consecutive years: 2020, 2021, and 2022 vs. a 10 year trend (2010-2019).

    The data for excess mortality in 2020 (the year prior to the vaccine) are negative with the exception of “malignant neoplasm without specification of site”.

    The COVID-19 vaccine was rolled-out in several phases in England and Wales starting on December 8, 2020  and extending into March-April 2021.

    The upward movement in excess mortality (%) commences in 2021. The increase in excess mortality related to malignant neoplasm is tabulated for the two first years of the vaccine. 

    Germany

    Below is a similar table pertaining to Excess Mortality in Germany, which points to the Deviation of Observed Mortality from Expected Mortality (by age group) in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

    Notice the upward shift in excess mortality in 2021 and 2022 following the rollout of the Covid Vaccine in December 2020

    Germany: Excess Mortality by Age Group (%)

    Japan

    Excess Mortality in Red by age group, Total Excess Mortality in Gray 

    Japan. Excess Mortality (2020-2022): Jump in Excess mortality in 2021 and 2022 (January-October 2022)

     United States
     .
    What can be observed is that the number of deaths has increased dramatically in the course of 2021 corresponding to first year of the Covid vaccine which was launched in the U.S. in mid December 2020.

    There Never Was a “New Corona Virus”, There Never Was a Pandemic

    By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, August 31, 2024

    ***

    Today our thoughts are with people of Japan,  with the children of Japan.

    In the words of the Former Minister of Internal Affairs Kazuhiro Haraguchi’s courageous statement:

    “‘You Were Right, Vaccines Are Killing Millions of Our Loved Ones”

    「あなたは正しかった、ワクチンは私たちの愛する人の何百万人もの人を殺している」

    “They are trying to block our freedom, our resistance, our power. But we will never lose.” 

    Of significance, the fraudulent narrative concerning the Covid “Vaccine” is collapsing in different parts of the World, with Japan in the lead. 

    We call for the immediate cancellation and Worldwide withdrawal of the Covid “Vaccine”

    Japanese Researchers say Side Effects of COVID Vaccines

    linked to 201 types of diseases

    Professor Yasufumi Murakami from Tokyo University of Science at a press conference January 11, 2024Japanese researchers say their “shocking” systematic review of research papers on COVID-19 vaccines has discovered thousands of side effects “affecting every possible aspect of human pathology.”

    The findings were laid out in a 93-minute press conference (see video below with English subtitles) in Japan held January 11 by the Vaccine Issues Study Group, a panel of esteemed medical experts. The findings followed six months of investigations into the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines.

    Professor Emeritus Masanori Fukushima of Kyoto University, long a fierce critic of the vaccines, said the breadth of the harms is “unprecedented” for medical treatments.

    “A systematic review of the literature has unveiled some shocking information. Thousands of papers have reported side effects after vaccination, affecting every possible aspect of human pathology, from ophthalmology to psychiatry,” he said.

    “For example, the age-adjusted mortality rate for leukemia has increased. And there are significant findings for breast cancer, ovarian cancer and so on.”

     

    Fukushima said there were so many brain-related adverse events, its researchers probably hadn’t found all of them yet. “Mental disorders, psychiatric symptoms, depression, mania, anxiety, came up in abundance, but it’s endless,” he said.

    Fukushima, who has 208 scholarly papers to his name on ResearchGate, said doctors who want to sound the alarm find their message is suppressed. Last February, he launched a lawsuit against the government for allegedly hiding vaccine harms.

    “Japanese doctors are trying hard, but they face various obstructions,” Fukushima said.

    Professor Yasufumi Murakami from Tokyo University of Science said the responsible course of action would be to halt the administration of such vaccines.

    “It’s very clear what happens when you administer a toxic gene to a human. There are cases that occur within one or two weeks after injection, but there are also many cases that appear after one or two years,” he said before laying out long-term risks.

    “Vaccines that have failed are still being administered and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recognizes these failed vaccines. So I would like them to stop immediately. And even though I speak out in various places, they don’t stop at all. So we will clearly present evidence and publish it as articles, one by one.”

    Murakami warned that “with the current messenger-type vaccines, a significant amount of IgG4 is being induced.”

    He said this was in excess of a normal vaccine response and could interfere with immune functions.

    The researchers found 201 types of diseases had been found among 3,071 papers on side effects. Professor Masayasu Inoue, Emeritus Professor at Osaka City University School of Medicine, said some harms are hitting entire families and are well-documented.

    “It is unprecedented in human history for a single vaccine to have this much literature out on it,” said Masayasu.

    “You will find diseases of the heart, kidney, thyroid, diabetes, liver, skin, eyes, blood, nerves, systemic diseases, brain, lungs.”

    Fukushima said the mRNA vaccine disperses throughout the body and is not contained in the shoulder like most vaccines.

    “It doesn’t know where to go. If it goes into the bloodstream, it goes to the brain, liver and kidneys,” he explained.

    Fukushima said authorities preaching the safe and effective message ignored a wide body of evidence and should go back to school.

    “With fragments of such knowledge, they exaggerate things and think they can go with this,” Fukushima said.

    “So, honestly, they need to go back and redo from middle school biology to high school and university entrance exams. As I mentioned earlier, medicine is still immature.”

  • Washington’s Long War Against Us All

    Washington’s Long War Against Us All

    What is happening in Gaza now is an example of longstanding Western military policy of murdering civilians.

    October 7 was a largely manufactured pretext so the West and its allies/proxies could falsely proclaim righteousness, even as many of the casualties on October 7 were inflicted by the IDF itself.

    The West has a long history of creating atrocity stories to falsely claim victimization. Western-supported terrorists, as an example, use chemical weapons as false flags, to falsely blame the Assad government. Western-supported terrorists target and slaughter civilians as policy in Syria. The death squads (ISIS, al Qaeda and affiliates) are all fully supported by Western governments and their agencies. (1)

    Currently the West and its proxies illegally occupy resource-rich (sovereign Syrian ) territory. This was all by design, not by chance.

    The goal, per Prof. Chossudovsky, is not necessarily to win wars militarily, but to destroy countries and their peoples and to open up new territories for exploitation. Vietnam, explains Chossudovsky, won the Vietnam War militarily, but the country was subjugated nonetheless. (2)

    Apartheid Israel, right now, with full support from the West, is mass-slaughtering mostly civilians in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel is  committing genocide, and that is the goal. It is conquest cloaked beneath lies of victimization and self-defence.

    None of these wars are isolated. Per the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) policy, multiple wars are being waged simultaneously. They are part of a long war against us all.

    Iran is next.

    The U.S. War Crimes Record: U.S. Responsible for Killing of Millions, Mostly Civilians/ By Asad Ismi

    Original Link Here:The U.S. War Crimes Record: U.S. Responsible for Killing of Millions, Mostly Civilians – Asad Ismi

    In a speech on September 11, U.S. President Barack Obama charged that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad’s government “gassed to death” more than a thousand people in Damascus on August 21. “What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas and we choose to look the other way?” Obama asked. “Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria, along with our leadership of a world where we seek to ensure that the worst weapons will never be used.”

    This was a bizarre statement from the leader of a country that historically has been the world’s biggest deployer of “worst weapons” against innocent civilians, and in blatant violation of international law and of any ideals or principles.

    Since 1945, the United States has killed about 46 million people in other countries, most of them civilians, either directly or through proxy by its puppet regimes. Given this blood-stained record, Obama’s threat to punish Syrian President Al-Assad for allegedly gassing non-combatants is sickeningly hypocritical. By his criteria, he should bomb his own country, especially the Pentagon.

    The grisly U.S. catalogue of war crimes includes 4.3 million people killed in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos during Washington’s war on all three countries (1962-1975); three million killed in Iraq; six million killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (by proxy); up to three million killed in East Pakistan (by proxy); 1.5 million killed in Angola and Mozambique (by proxy); one million killed in Latin America (by proxy); and 100,000 killed (so far) in Afghanistan.

    On Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, the U.S. dropped 20 million gallons of the deadly chemical herbicide Agent Orange. In Vietnam’s case, the aim was to destroy forests where Viet Cong guerrillas were hiding. Agent Orange damaged foliage extensively but obviously failed to stop the guerrillas who eventually won the war. What the chemical did accomplish was to kill hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese civilians and destroy three generations of Vietnamese children (up to the present), many thousands of whom were and are born with serious mental disorders and physical deformities. Many babies were still-born or without brains, arms and legs.

    I spent two years teaching in Vietnam and visited the Museum of American War Crimes in Ho Chi Minh City, where the aborted foetuses deformed by Agent Orange are displayed in glass jars. I will never forget that horrifying sight.

    As U.K. journalist John Pilger informs us, “In 1970, the U.S. Senate reported: ‘The U.S. has dumped on Vietnam a quantity of toxic chemical (dioxin) amounting to six pounds per head of population.’ This was Operation Hades — the source of what Vietnamese doctors call a ‘cycle of foetal catastrophe.’ I have seen generations of children with their familiar, monstrous deformities. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, with his own blood-soaked war record, will remember them.” [Kerry fought in Vietnam].

    The BBC reported on September 9: “The Vietnam War ended nearly 40 years ago, but the casualties continue as birth defects plague the country. There are claims that thousands of children continue to be born with horrific facial deformities due to the Agent Orange chemical sprayed by the United States. The Vietnamese call the disfigured youngsters ‘the children of Agent Orange.’ [The city of ] Da Nang in central Vietnam is thought to have the highest level of congenital deformity in the world.”

    Vietnam estimates that 400,000 people were killed or maimed by Agent Orange and 500,000 children were born with birth defects due to it. According to the Vietnamese Red Cross, up to one million people are disabled or have health problems due to Agent Orange. The illnesses suffered by the Vietnamese include non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, several types of cancer, diabetes, soft tissue sarcoma, birth defects in children, spina bifida, and reproductive abnormalities.

    Nguyen Pham, age 11 today, is a third generation Agent Orange victim. He is deaf, blind, and mute, and has been confined to bed for much of his life. The hands of Nguyen Van Dung, age 12, have to be tied “because he compulsively tears at his own face.”

    The U.S. has refused to compensate Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos for the horrific atrocities caused by its massive spraying of Agent Orange.

    The U.S. has committed similar crimes in Iraq with the extensive use of white phosphorus and depleted uranium bombs, which have condemned future generations in that country to frightful and hideous suffering. In March of this year, journalist Dahr Jamail reported from the city of Fallujah on the tenth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq: “According to Dr. Samira Alani [a doctor in Fallujah], it’s common now in the city for newborns to come out with massive multiple systemic defects, immune problems, massive central nervous system problems, massive heart problems, skeletal disorders, babies being born with two heads, babies being born with half of their internal organs outside of their bodies, Cyclops babies literally with one eye — really, really, really horrific, nightmarish types of birth defects.”

    According to Jamail, “The current rate of birth defects for the city of Fallujah has surpassed those of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the nuclear attacks at the end of World War II.” Those attacks, of course, were also launched by the U.S. Jamail adds: “Dr. Alani actually visited with doctors in Japan, comparing statistics, and found that the amount of congenital malformations in Fallujah is 14 times greater than the rate measured in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in the aftermath of the U.S. nuclear bombings.

    “Dr. Alani said these types of birth defects include some congenital malformations they don’t even have medical terms for, that some of the things they’re seeing they’ve never seen before. They’re not in any of the books or any of the scientific literature that they have access to. And she — lastly, to really give you an idea of the scope of the problem — said that this is happening now at a massive rate. And she said her being the only person cataloguing and registering cases… she said that she could probably safely estimate that the number of cases, as high as the rate that she’s seeing, could probably be doubled, because so many people are having their babies at home. ‘You know, most of these babies are being born dead, and then they’re not reporting it whatsoever. So, this is an ongoing crisis.

    “’I mean, these are extremely hard to look at. They’re extremely hard to bear witness to. But it’s something that we all need to pay attention to because of the amount of depleted uranium used by the U.S. military during both of their brutal attacks on the city in 2004, as well as other toxic munitions like white phosphorus’.”

    Mozhgan Savabieasfahani, one of the main authors of a 2012 study of birth defects in Fallujah and a toxicologist at the University of Michigan, told The Independent newspaper (U.K.) in 2012 that there is “compelling evidence” to connect the number of birth defects to the military attacks on Basra and Fallujah. According to Savabieasfahani, there is a cancer and birth defect “epidemic” in Iraq which constitutes an “extraordinary public health emergency.”

    Jamail points out that “International law is very clear about these types of weapons: Any weapon that is known to have a lasting negative impact on the civilian population in the general area where it is used is technically a banned or a highly restricted weapon. And in this case, these types of weapons should not be allowed to be used. As I reported back in 2004, when it came out that white phosphorus was indeed being used in Fallujah, that’s another restricted weapon where the Geneva Conventions state very clearly that, if there is any possibility of civilians being in the area where it is going to be used, it is not allowed to be used. The Geneva Conventions are very, very clear about this.”

    The U.S. has treated Iraq’s concerns about depleted uranium’s effects with even more contempt than it has Vietnam’s concerns about Agent Orange. When questioned in 2003 about Iraq’s complaints about depleted uranium, Colonel James Naughton of the U.S. Army Material Command said in a Pentagon briefing: “They want it to go away because we kicked the crap out of them.”

    The Hamas Partnership is confirmed by Netanyahu

    “The Cat is Out of the Bag”

    “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” he [Netanyahu] told a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” (Haaretz, October 9, 2023, emphasis added)

    Does this statement not suggest that Netanyahu and his military-intelligence apparatus are responsible for the killings of innocent Israeli civilians? 

    “Support” and “Money” for Hamas. 

    “Transferring Money to Hamas” on behalf of Netanyahu is confirmed by a Times of Israel October 8, 2023 Report:

    “Hamas was treated as a partner to the detriment of the Palestinian Authority to prevent Abbas from moving towards creating a Palestinian State. Hamas was promoted from a terrorist group to an organization with which Israel conducted negotiations through Egypt, and which was allowed to receive suitcases containing millions of dollars from Qatar through the Gaza crossings.” (emphasis added)

    The Dangers of Military Escalation

    Let us be under no illusions, this “false flag” operation is a complex military-intelligence undertaking, carefully planned over several years, in liaison and  coordination with US intelligence, the Pentagon and NATO.

    In turn, this action against Palestine is already conducive to a process of military escalation which potentially could engulf a large part of Middle East.
