TROJANS, JOURNALISTS, SPIES AND PUPPETS

 

In Homer's story of the Trojan War, the Greeks created a clever plan to get into the city of Troy.  They built a huge wooden horse and set it outside the city.  The army retreated, and the Trojans, fascinated by the gift horse, took it inside the city.  Once inside, the Greek troops hiding inside the Trojan horse came out and attacked the guards and opened the gate for the Greeks to invade.

In modern parlance, "Trojan" has been used to describe condoms, a hacker's tool to invade your PC, and a special communication device that could be planted by naval commandos deep inside enemy territory.

Describing how Mossad, Israel's Intelligence and covert action agency, used Trojans, former Israeli Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky wrote:

“A Trojan was a device that would act as a relay station for misleading transmissions made by the disinformation unit in the Mossad, called LAP, and intended to be received by American and British listening stations.  Originating from an IDF navy ship out at sea, the pre-recorded digital transmissions could be picked up only by the Trojan.  The device would then rebroadcast the transmission on another frequency, one used for official business in the enemy country, at which point the transmission would finally be picked up by American ears in Britain. 

“The listeners would have no doubt they had intercepted a genuine communication, hence the name Trojan, reminiscent of the mythical Trojan horse.  Further, the content of the messages, once deciphered, would confirm information from other intelligence sources, namely the Mossad.  The only catch was that the Trojan itself would have to be located as close as possible to the normal origin of such transmissions, because of the sophisticated methods of triangulation the Americans and others would use to verify the source.”

Considered a traitor by Israel for exposing the clandestine activities of Mossad, Ostrovsky authored several books and numerous articles detailing Mossad's misconduct.  These include By Way of Deception (St. Martin’s Press, 1990) and The Other Side of Deception (Harper Collins, 1994). They’ve been available to journalists and investigative reporters for 13 and 9 years respectively, yet politicians and media voices continue to report official propaganda planted by Mossad that defies reliable evidence.

Ostrovsky recorded what his Mossad superior had revealed to him about Mossad's actions and intentions: “After the bombing of Libya, our friend Qadhafi is sure to stay out of the picture for some time.  Iraq and Saddam Hussein are the next target.  We're starting now to build him up as the big villain.  It will take some time, but in the end, there's no doubt it'll work.”

Ostrovsky asked his superior, “But isn't Saddam regarded as moderate toward us, allied with Jordan, the big enemy of Iran and Syria?”

“Yes,” he replied, “that's why I'm opposed to this action.  But that's the directive, and I must follow it.  Hopefully, you and I will be done with our little operation before anything big happens.  After all, we have already destroyed his nuclear facility, and we are making money by selling him technology and equipment through South Africa.”

According to Ostrovsky, “In the following weeks, more and more discoveries were made regarding the big gun and other elements of the Saddam war machine.  The Mossad had all but saturated the intelligence field with information regarding the evil intentions of Saddam the Terrible, banking on the fact that before long, he'd have enough rope to hang himself.”

In the thirteen years since this was reported, not a single establishment journalist nor Western intelligence agency has given enough credence to Ostrovsky's revelations to modify and correct the Mossad planted line.

“It was very clear,” Ostrovsky continued, “what the Mossad's overall goal was.  It wanted the West to do its bidding, just as the Americans had in Libya with the bombing of Qadhafi.  After all, Israel didn't possess carriers and ample air power, and although it was capable of bombing a refugee camp in Tunis, that was not the same.  The Mossad leaders knew that if they could make Saddam appear bad enough and a threat to the Gulf oil supply, of which he'd been the protector up to that point, then the United States and its allies would not let him get away with anything, but would take measures that would all but eliminate his army and his weapons potential, especially if they were led to believe that this might just be their last chance before he went nuclear.”

How many of the reports coming out of the great Western democracies, where freedom of the press presumably remains sacrosanct, have even vaguely alluded to Mossad's role as a key provocateur in American or British attitudes and actions toward Iraq?

Now, according to Ostrovsky, we begin to see the emergence of the propaganda that formed the rallying cries of our current leaders.  Keep in mind that this was reported in 1994: 

“By January 1989, the Mossad LAP machine was busy portraying Saddam as a tyrant and a danger to the world.  The Mossad activated every asset it had, in every place possible, from volunteer agents in Amnesty International to fully bought members of the U. S.  Congress.  Saddam had been killing his own people, the cry went; what could his enemies expect?  The gruesome photos of dead Kurdish mothers clutching their dead babies after a gas attack by Saddam's army were real, and the acts were horrendous.  But the Kurds were entangled in an all-out guerrilla war with the regime in Baghdad and had been supported for years by the Mossad, who sent arms and advisers to the mountain camps of the Barazany family; this attack by the Iraqis could hardly be called an attack on their own people.  But, as Uri said to me, once the orchestra starts to play, all you can do is hum along.”

The propaganda campaign revealed by Ostrovsky was unrelenting:

“The media was supplied with inside information and tips from reliable sources on how the crazed leader of Iraq killed people with his bare hands and used missiles to attack Iranian cities.  What they neglected to tell the media was that most of the targeting for the missiles was done by the Mossad with the help of American satellites.  The Mossad was grooming Saddam for a fall, but not his own.  They wanted the Americans to do the work of destroying that gigantic army in the Iraqi desert so that Israel would not have to face it one day on its own border.  That in itself was a noble cause for an Israeli, but to endanger the world with the possibility of global war and the deaths of thousands of Americans was sheer madness.”

In The Other Side of Deception, Ostrovsky wrote, "It was time to draw attention to Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. 

“Only three months before, on December 5, 1989, the Iraqis had launched the Al-Abid, a three-stage ballistic missile.  The Iraqis claimed it was a satellite launcher that Gerald Bull, a Canadian scientist, was helping them develop.  Israeli intelligence knew that the launch, although trumpeted as a great success, was in fact a total failure, and that the program would never reach its goals.  But that secret was not shared with the media.  On the contrary, the missile launch was exaggerated and blown out of proportion.”  And that's the way the American news media carried it. 

Ostrovsky added, “The message that Israeli intelligence sent out was this: Now all the pieces of the puzzle are fitting together.  This maniac is developing a nuclear capability (remember the Israeli attack on the Iraqi reactor in 1981) and pursuing chemical warfare (as seen in his attacks on his own people, the Kurds).  What's more, he despises the Western media, regarding them as Israeli spies.  Quite soon, he's going to have the ability to launch a missile from anywhere in Iraq to anywhere he wants in the Middle East and beyond.”

Mossad set the stage for America to attack Iraq by letting Ambassador April Glasby indirectly invite Saddam to invade Kuwait.  Ten years after the Gulf War, the same disinformation, product of the same Mossad deception, reverberated throughout the US and administration and their British puppets.

If journalists of the so-called free press ever took stock of Victor Ostrovsky's revelations, they've neatly swept them under the carpet.  The hoax, the disinformation and deception created by Israel's Mossad is finally crumbling like the Tower of Babel it reflects.   The journalists, however, still refuse to recognize the source as Israel.

Andrew Marr, British political correspondent, said in a recent BBC report (July 10, 2003) that senior sources in Whitehall had “virtually ruled out the possibility of finding the weapons” (of mass destruction).  Marr speculated on what happened to the absent WMD's, still unable to acknowledge the original deception and still seemingly unaware that Mossad's deception was still working.

“But as time has gone on,” said Marr, “those weapons don't seem to be there and the best explanation going around at the moment is that some time shortly before the war Saddam Hussein destroyed them or hid them beyond discovery.”  Saddam said he had destroyed them in his report to the UN.  Why, by anyone's logic, would he have "hid them beyond discovery" instead of using them against his enemies?

The so-called intelligence that Bush and Blair depended on came from Mossad, and Bush and Blair wouldn't dare acknowledge that.  Mossad faked or doctored the evidence that they had to be convincing enough for Bush and Blair to act on it.  Mossad, under Sharon's guidance, wanted Iraq eliminated from any threat to Israel, and they wanted Bush and Blair to do it for them.

The only WMD's in Iraq were those supplied by the US or manufactured under a US umbrella when Iraq was doing US dirty work with Iran.  As both Scott Ritter and Imad Khadduri have said, whatever WMD's left there were discovered and destroyed.  But the reliable senior UN inspector (Ritter) became the object of a Zionist controlled media campaign in America to discredit him; and the knowledgeable Iraqi scientist (Khadduri) was told to keep quiet until not even his expert knowledge could stop the Bush and Blair invasion.

As one distinguished journalist recently observed, “The problem with people like Marr (in fact, most correspondents with ‘high-level contacts’), is that in order to keep on the right side of these contacts, they compromise themselves by peddling part of the official line.” 

The resulting shoddy journalism will have to be corrected by its practitioners before the exposure it gets in alternative news sources increase their popularity and fully reveal the complicit deceptions of the press.

The other problem that must be addressed, even more important than Blair being Bush’s poodle is the control by the puppet master Israel over America.  America's first president, George Washington, in his farewell address, had the needed advice, especially where Israel is concerned:

“A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils.  Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.  It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld.”
