Everyday the US Corporate Media bombards America with the “huge spike in violence” that inevitably means that Iraq is descending into civil war. We’re told there are two choices, it’s a civil war, or its “al Qaeda” - but there is a third option the corporate media refuses to utter.
Even high-school slackers have heard of the age-old strategy “Divide and Conquer”. Is it possible that there are outside forces working this strategy in Iraq today? Perhaps rogue elements inside some government(s) would like to conquer Iraq for the oil, permanent bases, strategic position, etc.
Why is it that nobody in the TV news world can utter this possibility? Is it really that outrageous to think that perhaps the same people that lied to launch the war, are still lying today to prolong the war?
Let’s look at a few “under-reported” stories:
- US car theft rings probed for ties to Iraq bombings
Think about that: Car-bombs in Iraq are made with cars Stolen in the USA Does “al-Qaeda” have C-130s or huge ships capable of transporting the stolen cars to Iraq? If “al Qaeda” had operatives in America, would they really be stealing cars to ship them to Iraq? Seems quite illogical to me.
- Undercover British soldiers caught red-handed: Dressed as Arabs in a car full of explosives with a remote detonator
-Foreign Fighter Lie Exposed: 1300 insurgents arrested- all Iraqis, no foreigners
-Iraqis had a “No to the Occupation” Protest, which was much larger than the Saddam Statue Toppled “Celebration”
- Many Iraqis believe ’suicide’ bombings done by US to start a civil war“I believe it is the Americans who are doing this, pretending it is the Sunni, so there will be a civil war and they can control our wealth.”
- El Salvador-style ‘death squads’ to be deployed by US against Iraq militants
“Death Squads” Negroponte appointed ambassador to Iraq: Six Months later, Death Squads appear
The question:
Is it possible that “Divide and Conquer” is a strategy being employed by our own government, not just Bush and the Republicons, but also by the majority of DC Democrats. Is it possible that this is a war of conquest, and Americans are the modern day equivalent of the “good germans” duped by the gov’t propaganda.
Is it possible that millions of Americans are “willfully ignorant”, accepting the lies because it’s so much easier than confronting the fact that they’ve been supporting murderers and liars.
ps- dont’ forget about the numerous polls indicating that
MOST Iraqis want US Troops to leave.
Still believe it’s a Civil War? One last factoid to consider:
Out of Iraq’s 6.5 million married couples, 2 million are Sunni-Shia unions

War on Iran: Unleashing Armageddon in the Middle East
Pravda.ru

Dr. Elias Akleh
USA
The American “power elite” had drawn a “Grand Plan” to control and to monopolize global oil and nuclear energy resources to assure American global hegemony. The collapse of the Soviet Union had created a power vacuum the American administration is trying to fill up.
The attacks of 911 were necessary requirement for the Bush administration to wage a “global war against terror” that would serve as a cover up for American hegemonic actions. President Bush had borrowed Mussolini’s fascist motto of “If you are not with me, you are against me”, and turned it into “You are either with us or with the terrorist” to terrorize weaker nations into accepting American expansions.
The part of the “Grand Plan” that deals with the Middle East and South East Asia was handed down to Bush/Cheney administration for execution. The invasions and destructions of Afghanistan and Iraq are just the beginning. Iran, Syria and Lebanon are next.
Controlling Iran is very important for the American administration. Iran sits on a lake of oil and has large deposits of uranium, that when mined and refined could make Iran a super global power. Controlling Iran leads to the containment of China (America’s greatest competitor), who depends heavily on Iranian oil to satisfy its growing hunger for energy. Geographically Iran makes the shortest and the most economical route for Kazakhstan’s oil pipeline from the Caspian Sea north to the Persian Gulf south with all the oil-tankers traffic. Iran also fits perfectly within the line of American hegemony in South East Asia starting from Afghanistan east extending to Iraq west. Listening to Bush’s speeches –especially his speech to the UN last September 2006- one can detect his “enthusiasm” for “spreading democracy and freedom” in the “despotic Middle East” with Iraq as an example.
Bush/Cheney administration started its overt aggression against Iran immediately after 911. Iran was labeled as one of the “axis of evil” sponsoring terrorist groups – Hezbollah and Hamas. It is accused of meddling into Iraq and instigating civil war by supporting Shiites against Sunnis, and of opening its borders for terrorists to enter Iraq. Iran is also accused of building a nuclear bomb to wipe Israel off the map. Condoleezza Rice, the Secretary of State, described Iran as “central bank for world terrorism” threatening the stability in the region
The American media joined the administration into demonizing Iranian leaders describing them as extremist fundamental theocracy seeking to revive the glory of ancient Persian Empire by establishing a nuclear Islamic “Caliphate”. Ahmadinejad is portrayed as an irrational, violent, mad Hitler-like anti-Semite, who hates Jews, denies the Holocaust and wants to wipe Israel off the map.
The American administration refused to consider all Iranian attempts for dialogue and cooperation. According to Washington Post June 18th 2006 Richard Hass, head of policy planning at the State Department in 2003, stated that at the wake of American invasion of Iraq Iranian leaders offered the Americans a proposal for a broad dialogue that included full cooperation on war against terror, nuclear program, accepting Israel and halting support to Hamas. The administration already had plans for regime change in Iran that started immediately after the invasion of Iraq. Spy stations were erected at the Iraqi/Iranian borders. Congress had authorized the expenditure of $75 million to support Iranian opposition. Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector, reported in June 2005 and in his book “Target Iran” that the US has been using terrorist organizations (Mujahedeen el-Khalq) under the supervision of the CIA to conduct covert terrorist operation in Iran. This terrorist group is operating out of Camp Habib in Basra and launches their terrorist raids against the southern region of Iran.
Israel , on the other hand, refuses to “live under the threat” of nuclear Iran. Israeli politicians point to Ahmadinejad’s alleged threat to wipe Israel off the map as a threat to their own existence, and a possible justification for a pre-emptive strike as a measure of self-defense. They continually threaten to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities the same way they did to Iraq’s nuclear reactors. Israel had sent its military operatives into the Kurdish region north of Iraq to establish training camps for the Kurds. The Kurds want to establish their independent Kurdistan extending from north Iran to east Turkey. Encouraged, financed, and armed by Israel the Kurds send their militants to conduct military operations into northern Iran.
The US is adamant on invading Iran. Invasion plan was originally to take place last April 2006, and consisted of 5 days of continuous aerial bombardment by joint air planes of Israel, UK, and US that might include tactical nuclear bunker buster bombs. Land invasion was to follow from west (Iraq), from east (Afghanistan), and from sea (Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman).
To stop this invasion Iran flexed its military muscles in war games conducted last April demonstrating its effective capability of waging war on land, sea, and air with sophisticated weapons. Iran also conducted other war games last August in coordination with China and Russia. The Americans discovered that they had underestimated Iran’s military power, and decided to adjust its war plans by bringing in more allies such as EU and some Arab states.
Contrary to the American propaganda Iranian leaders are pragmatic politicians, who seek peace, stability and nuclear-free Middle East. After their negotiation proposal to the US was rejected they needed to protect their interests in the region and to counter balance the threat of warring Israel, UK, and US by supporting Hamas, Hezbollah and Iraqi Shiites. For many generations Iran has not been involved in any colonial war. Iran was defending itself during the eight years Iraq/Iran war that was instigated by the US. Iranians are aware that if they were to hit Israel with one nuclear bomb Israel would shower them with their 200 or more of their nuclear bombs.
Ahmadinejad is not the mad man intent on wiping Israel off the map as Israelis keep alleging. Juan Cole, a Middle East specialist at the University of Michigan, stated in New York Times of June 11th that “Ahmadinejad did not say he was going to wipe Israel off the map, because no such idiom exists in Persian. He did say he hoped its regime i.e. a Jewish-Zionist state occupying Jerusalem, would collapse”. Ahmadinejad is not a Jew hater; he pointed to the largest Jewish community out of Israel, who lives peacefully in Iran. They are recognized as a religious minority and are represented by a Jewish MP, Maurice Mohtamed, in the Iranian parliament. Iranians make a distinction between Jews and Zionists.
To avoid the seemingly inevitable war Iran had followed the diplomatic path with no avail. It opened its nuclear facilities to the strictest and most detailed inspections by IAEA. Iran proposed to stop its nuclear program if the US halts its threats and gives guarantees not to attack Iran. Ahmadinejad had called for peaceful negotiations and a nuclear-free Middle East in his speech to the UN last September, but his speech was boycotted by American politician and American media. Lately Iran proposed to have an international consortium to supervise uranium enrichment in Iran to guarantee that its program is really for peaceful purposes only.
Iran had also turned to the international community – mainly anti-American countries- for political support through economical trade and common political interests. In 2004 Iran sold China Petrochemical Corp. 51% stake in its Yadavaran oil field near the border of Iraq. Iran also became Russia’s most important weapons customer. Iran had also gained the political support of at least 118 countries during the summit of the Nonaligned Movement in Cuba in mid last September.
The US recognizes that attacking Iran will disrupt oil flow to the west. Iranian would close the Strait of Hermuz and could hit the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline carrying oil to Europe. Venezuela’s president Hugo Chavez, an Iranian ally, had threatened to stop oil shipments to the US if Iran and Syria were attacked. China might also enter the conflict to protect its oil assets. The American administration decided to postpone its attack until it creates a “war oil reserve”, forms a large alliance of “willing countries”, and sends a big military armada to the region to guarantee a quick victory (a blitzkrieg).
The influence of the American administration on the UN and NATO can be seen clearly by the types of resolutions the UN adopts, and by the NATO troops becoming an American proxy occupier of Afghanistan. The US and NATO countries had lately amassed the largest military armada in the Middle East. The American armada consists of Carrier Strike Group 12 led by nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, Eisenhower Strike Group – another nuclear powered aircraft carrier with companion vessels and submarines, Expeditionary Strike Group 5 led by aircraft carrier USS Boxer, the Iowa Jima Expeditionary Strike Group, and the US Coast Guard. Canada has sent its HMCS Ottawa frigate to join the American armada.
Under the guise of UN resolution 1701 NATO countries had sent 15 thousand armed UNIFEL troops into southern Lebanon to protect Israel. They also sent their naval armada to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean allegedly to stop arm shipments to Hezbollah. Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Greek, Netherlands, France, Belgium and Bulgaria have sent their military ships to the region.
This is the largest amass ever of military power in the region, and it has gathered there for a reason. With the American “Leading Edge” war game in the Gulf followed by the Iranian “Great Prophet” war games the powder keg became ready and all it needs is a match to ignite it. This could come in the form of an “arranged” terrorist act in Lebanon e.g. another political assassination or toppling of the government to be blamed against Syria and Iran. American warnings of such an act are already in the media.
The present American administration is an extremist theocratic apocalyptic neoconservative Christian-Zionist war mongering law-breaking power hungry administration with a bragging “war president” adopting the doctrines of pre-emptive strike and perpetual war against global terror. This war will take place far away from the American home-land, and will generate large profits for the American military corporations. The war against Iran would engulf the whole Middle East and might overflow to its neighboring countries. Controlling Iran is a very important strategic move to assure American global hegemony. According to military experts this war is scheduled to take place during March/April 2007 period.

Litvinenko poisoning scandal
yet another neo-con perverse display of its parallel intelligence structures.
December 11, 2006 -- SPECIAL REPORT.
by
Wayne Madsen
The more confusing the Litvinenko poisoning affair becomes, the more it appears to be yet another example of the dangerous neo-con global network of spies, weapons smugglers, far right-wing politicians, Russian-Israeli mafia businessmen, and Islamic mujaheddin false flag provocateurs. Litvinenko's death from polonium-210 radioactive isotope poisoning has actually helped to cast light on this international network, which has its fingerprints on the false intelligence that propelled the United States into an impending military defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan; the false flag operations of the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington; and countless other operations, including political operations in Ukraine, Georgia, and Poland, among other nations.
Litvinenko, far from being some sympathetic figure battling the Kremlin, was a central player in a global crime, disinformation, and terrorism network. He had contacts with a right-wing British political party, the United Kingdom Independence Party (which advocates the UK leaving the European Union, abolition of the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly, has links to the fascist British National Front, and wants a strong commitment to NATO); the mujaheddin movements of Chechnya, Ingushetia, and Dagestan, including the Georgia Pankisi Gorge-based "Al Qaeda" branch (Al Ansar) led by the Jordanian terrorist Faris Yusef Amirat, aka "Abu Hafs"; the Russian-Israeli criminal syndicate of wanted Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky and his accomplices; and other bad actors involved in a host of illegal and dubious activities around the world. Litvinenko defected to Britain through Turkey, a major hub for the Russian-Israeli Mafia. He has also been linked to Georgia-based Chechen operations in Turkey and Japan. Litvinenko was also reportedly close to the widow of Chechen President Dzhokar Dudayev, killed by an air-to-surface Russian missile attack in 1996. Litvinenko also had close links to exiled and wanted Russian oligarch Leonid Nevzlin, now exiled in Tel Aviv, and Erinsys, Ltd., a British mercenary firm with ties to Iraqi con man Ahmad Chalabi, whose nephew Salem is a business partner of Jerusalem-based Marc Zell, Douglas Feith's former law partner.
One of Litvinenko's associates, who at first claimed to also have been poisoned by polonium but has now been proven to be "Curveball"-grade prevaricator, is Mario Scaramella, a self-styled Italian spy who has charged that Italy's current Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, was a KGB spy. Scaramella has not only been dismissed as a neo-con tool by the Russian and Italian governments, but has been criticized as an insignificant "soap bubble" by Oleg Gordievski, the highest-ranking officer to have ever defected from the KGB. Italians, who witnessed Rome being used as a central location for the disinformation used to promote the invasion of Iraq -- including the infamous Niger "yellow cake" documents (involving another dubious Italian information broker named Rocco Martino), know Scaramella as a swindler and a braggart. Scaramella has also been under investigation by Italian authorities in Naples for weapons smuggling.
So who is Scaramella and what are his connections to the right-wing? Scaramella has been a longtime provocateur who has tried to link European progressive politicians and the Russian government with Cold War misdeeds. He is also linked to the Forza Italiana party of former (and indicted) Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, a figure having his own ties to organized crime. Scaramella and Forza Italiana Senator Paolo Guzzanti, coordinated a political attack against Prodi aimed at proving the progressive leftist leader was a KGB spy. Prodi has threatened a lawsuit over the charge. Berlusconi, a major media tycoon, has, like his fellow right-wing media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, used his media holdings to advance a number of right-wing conspiracy theories about leftist and progressive political leaders in Italy and abroad.
Italy has been wracked by an investigation of a 2003 CIA kidnapping and rendition of Abu Omar, a Milan-based imam, via Germany to Egypt for torture. Arrest warrants have been issued for a number of CIA agents suspected of being involved in the kidnapping. Italian authorities are also investigating the assassination by U.S. or U.S.-controlled forces in Baghdad of General Nicola Calipari, the deputy chief of the Italian SISMI intelligence service. Although ruled an "accident" by US authorities, there is increasing evidence that Calipari was a threat to the neo-con network because of what he knew about the CIA kidnappings, the source of the yellowcake documents, and Scaramella's activities. Rather than CIA agents, informed sources now believe the Americans involved with Italian intelligence in secret operations were members of Pentagon intelligence chief Stephen Cambone's parallel intelligence and special operations network, a network that was set up by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to compete with the CIA.
Nicolo Pollari, Calipari's immediate boss, was fired last month as the head of SISMI. An Italian magistrate is now seeking indictments for 26 Americans and five senior Italian intelligence officials, including Pollari and his one-time deputy, Marco Mancini, for the kidnapping of Omar. Mancini was arrested by Italian authorities in the case. Informed Italian intelligence sources have linked Scaramella to the Pollari-Mancini network of neo-cons in SISMI.
Scaramella was a consultant for the Mitrokhin Committee, a body set up by the Italian right-wing-controlled Parliament in 2003 to investigate leftist Italian politicians for their links to the Soviets. The committee was a ruse designed to damage the reputations of Italian progressive leaders. Guzzanti was the committee chairman and another Scaramella friend, Senator Lucio Malan, also of Forza Italiana, served as a member. Italian sources report that Guzzanti told Scaramella that the "Capo," meaning Berlusconi, was going to be pleased with damaging information Litvinenko could pass on about Prodi. Scaramella also reportedly told Italian right-wing politicians of support from a top-level contact in or close to the U.S. government. That has been taken to mean the CIA, but our Italian sources believe it is likely someone associated with the neo-con network in either the Pentagon or National Security Council of the White House. Even more intriguing is a report from a confidential Italian source that Scaramella received funding from a French environmental group "front" activity, a possible link between the Italian agent of influence and a huge neo-con false flag operation involving French Interior Minister and presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarkozy, himself, has been accused of receiving illegal funds through dubious bank accounts in Luxembourg and some of those funds have Russian-Israeli mafia fingerprints written all over them.
The Mitrokhin Committee neo-cons and neo-fascists attempted to link the Italian left to the kidnapping and murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978 and the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1981. We now know from history that Moro was kidnapped and assassinated by Red Brigades in the employment of the Italian fascists, particularly agents associated with the fascist P-2 secret Masonic lodge and the similarly fascist Opus Dei as retaliation for Moro's plans to bring the Communists into a grand coalition. We also now know that Mehmet Ali Agca, the would-be killer of the Pope, was a member of Turkey's far right Gray Wolves and the plot was carried out to lay blame on the Russian KGB and Bulgaria's secret intelligence service.
Sergei Stepashin, former Russian Prime Minister and chief of the Federal Security Service (FSB), said, "It is apparent that those who wanted to tarnish the current Russian authorities, and primarily the president, killed Litvinenko." Two Russian business associates of Litvinenko, Dmitri Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoi (a former agent with the KGB's 9th Directorate, which protected Russian nuclear weapons caches), who met Litvinenko at the Pine Bar of the Millennium Hotel in London, have reportedly been affected by exposure to polonium-210 and seven bartenders who worked at the bar have tested positive for contamination with polonium-210. The Itsu sushi bar in :Picadilly where Litvinenko met Scaramella is now not assumed to be the location where Litvinenko was poisoned. Trace of polonium-210 were found at the restaurant but focus is on the Pine Bar at the Millenium as the scene of the poisoning.
Perhaps not surprisingly, FBI agents have been dispatched to London to investigate the Litvinenko death, even though the United States lacks jurisdiction in the case, since no Americans are involved. However, since even before 9/11, the FBI has covered for the international global mafia of terrorists and smugglers, and agents for this network who have been caught in the United States, including Israeli "art students," office and home furniture "movers," and "tourists" photographing sensitive U.S. installations have merely been deported by the FBI back to Israel. Many of the Israelis also possessed passports from Russia and Ukraine. The FBI's interest in the case may be to cover-up the United States as a source of the polonium-210.
What is now even more intriguing is where traces of polonium have also been detected in the case. The British embassy in Moscow and two British Airways Boeing 767a used on the Moscow-London route have tested positive for polonium-210. Kotvun and Lugovoi met the deputy British ambassador at the British embassy in Moscow prior to their trip to London and Lugovoi is claiming that someone, perhaps the British government, is now involved in trying to frame him. A car used by Kotvun in Hamburg on October 31, the night before he left for London, has also tested positive for polonium-210. However, traces of polonium-210 were also found on a Finnair plane that traveled to Moscow from Berlin via Helsinki.
If Britain's intelligence service is involved in the plot to set up Putin by using two unsuspecting Russian businessmen, it means that the Russian-Israeli global mafia has as many links and resources inside British intelligence as it does inside the FBI and U.S. intelligence. And that is a problem that would make James Bond tender his resignation.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has cleared Russia as the source of any illegal radioactive materials shipments. No shipments of polonium have been made by Russia to the UK since 2001.
WMR was the first to report on why polonium was possibly selected as the radioactive weapon of choice. Polonium was discovered by Marie Curie, a champion of Polish independence. The present neo-con government of Poland is a now a favorite base for the Russian-Israeli mafia. It is governed by two far right twins -- the Kaczynski brothers (Lech Kaczynski, the President, and Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the Prime Minister -- and includes a noted neo-con, Radek Sikorksi, formerly of the American Enterprise Institute as Defense Minister. Sikorksi is a vitriolic critic of the Russian-Germany undersea Baltic gas pipeline who has made no secret of his dislike for Putin and Gazprom pipeline consortium chief Gerhard Schroeder, the former Social Democratic Chancellor of Germany who is enjoying a rise in popularity at the expense of Christian Democratic Chancellor Angela Merkel, his successor. Any attempt to smear Putin also affects Schroeder, a close friend.
[Note: It is always interesting how the neo-con Mafia reacts when someone gets close to their sordid actions. A web site that appears to be quite close to the fake progressive web site Democratic Underground had a fit with the exposure of the Litvinenko case}.
Poland's right-wing government, like Italy's under Berlusconi, is now engaged in a major program to "out" leading Polish politicians linked to Poland's Cold War-era Communist regime. The process, called "lustration," has also been used by Czech right-wingers to embarrass and ruin progressive political leaders. Poland's lustration law, pushed through by the Kacynskis, resulted in dirt being cast out on former Polish President Aleksandr Kwasniewski, whose attempt to replace Kofi Annan as UN Secretary General was cleverly derailed as a result of the accusations. South Korea's suspected Sun Myung Moon/Unification Church adherent, Ban Ki-moon, was elected with the strong support of US ambassador to the UN John Bolton, a close friend of Sikorski and his neocon Polish government colleagues, the Kaczynskis. However, one of the "incriminating" documents found on Kwasniewski was a Polish security service document that stated Kwasniewksi, while the Communist government's Sports Minister, was a head security agent on Poland's Olympic team that competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. Kwasniewski would have reported on any attempts to get members of the team to defect by U.S. intelligence officers or agents of the host country, South Korea. At the time of the Olympics, Ban was First Secretary of the South Korean embassy in Washington and maintained close links to the Reagan-Bush intelligence infrastructure, an infrastructure that was promoting a revolt in Eastern Europe using emigre groups that included those affiliated with Sun Myung Moon's organization.
However, Poland's lustration process appears to be more of an attempt to change the subject amid a major political scandal involving one of the Polish right-wing coalition partners -- the League of Polish Families which has the Education Minister portfolio held by Roman Giertych. Photos of a League of Polish Families meeting have surfaced in the Polish press showing swastikas and members giving the "Seig Heil" salute. As with the UK Independence Party, the Italian neo-fascists, and French right-wing parties, the Russian-Israeli Mafia has no problem dealing with Nazis, fascists, or anyone else that can provide it influence. The Russian-Israeli Mafia has also shown itself adept at destroying its political enemies. Out Italian sources also report that Naples, where Scaramella maintained ties to the local Mafia's weapons smuggling operations, is a hotbed of activity for the Russian-Israeli Mafia. It is also a major center for the Mafia to recruit local Italian police and prison guards for various "services." The mysterious death of Litvinenko may yet expose the Mafia's true leadership and aims.

The more confusing the Litvinenko poisoning affair becomes, the more it appears to be yet another example of the dangerous neo-con global network of spies, weapons smugglers, far right-wing politicians, Russian-Israeli mafia businessmen, and Islamic mujaheddin false flag provocateurs. Litvinenko's death from polonium-210 radioactive isotope poisoning has actually helped to cast light on this international network, which has its fingerprints on the false intelligence that propelled the United States into an impending military defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan; the false flag operations of the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington; and countless other operations, including political operations in Ukraine, Georgia, and Poland, among other nations.
Litvinenko, far from being some sympathetic figure battling the Kremlin, was a central player in a global crime, disinformation, and terrorism network. He had contacts with a right-wing British political party, the United Kingdom Independence Party (which advocates the UK leaving the European Union, abolition of the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly, has links to the fascist British National Front, and wants a strong commitment to NATO); the mujaheddin movements of Chechnya, Ingushetia, and Dagestan, including the Georgia Pankisi Gorge-based "Al Qaeda" branch (Al Ansar) led by the Jordanian terrorist Faris Yusef Amirat, aka "Abu Hafs"; the Russian-Israeli criminal syndicate of wanted Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky and his accomplices; and other bad actors involved in a host of illegal and dubious activities around the world. Litvinenko defected to Britain through Turkey, a major hub for the Russian-Israeli Mafia. He has also been linked to Georgia-based Chechen operations in Turkey and Japan. Litvinenko was also reportedly close to the widow of Chechen President Dzhokar Dudayev, killed by an air-to-surface Russian missile attack in 1996. Litvinenko also had close links to exiled and wanted Russian oligarch Leonid Nevzlin, now exiled in Tel Aviv, and Erinsys, Ltd., a British mercenary firm with ties to Iraqi con man Ahmad Chalabi, whose nephew Salem is a business partner of Jerusalem-based Marc Zell, Douglas Feith's former law partner.
One of Litvinenko's associates, who at first claimed to also have been poisoned by polonium but has now been proven to be "Curveball"-grade prevaricator, is Mario Scaramella, a self-styled Italian spy who has charged that Italy's current Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, was a KGB spy. Scaramella has not only been dismissed as a neo-con tool by the Russian and Italian governments, but has been criticized as an insignificant "soap bubble" by Oleg Gordievski, the highest-ranking officer to have ever defected from the KGB. Italians, who witnessed Rome being used as a central location for the disinformation used to promote the invasion of Iraq -- including the infamous Niger "yellow cake" documents (involving another dubious Italian information broker named Rocco Martino), know Scaramella as a swindler and a braggart. Scaramella has also been under investigation by Italian authorities in Naples for weapons smuggling.
So who is Scaramella and what are his connections to the right-wing? Scaramella has been a longtime provocateur who has tried to link European progressive politicians and the Russian government with Cold War misdeeds. He is also linked to the Forza Italiana party of former (and indicted) Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, a figure having his own ties to organized crime. Scaramella and Forza Italiana Senator Paolo Guzzanti, coordinated a political attack against Prodi aimed at proving the progressive leftist leader was a KGB spy. Prodi has threatened a lawsuit over the charge. Berlusconi, a major media tycoon, has, like his fellow right-wing media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, used his media holdings to advance a number of right-wing conspiracy theories about leftist and progressive political leaders in Italy and abroad.
Italy has been wracked by an investigation of a 2003 CIA kidnapping and rendition of Abu Omar, a Milan-based imam, via Germany to Egypt for torture. Arrest warrants have been issued for a number of CIA agents suspected of being involved in the kidnapping. Italian authorities are also investigating the assassination by U.S. or U.S.-controlled forces in Baghdad of General Nicola Calipari, the deputy chief of the Italian SISMI intelligence service. Although ruled an "accident" by US authorities, there is increasing evidence that Calipari was a threat to the neo-con network because of what he knew about the CIA kidnappings, the source of the yellowcake documents, and Scaramella's activities. Rather than CIA agents, informed sources now believe the Americans involved with Italian intelligence in secret operations were members of Pentagon intelligence chief Stephen Cambone's parallel intelligence and special operations network, a network that was set up by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to compete with the CIA.
Nicolo Pollari, Calipari's immediate boss, was fired last month as the head of SISMI. An Italian magistrate is now seeking indictments for 26 Americans and five senior Italian intelligence officials, including Pollari and his one-time deputy, Marco Mancini, for the kidnapping of Omar. Mancini was arrested by Italian authorities in the case. Informed Italian intelligence sources have linked Scaramella to the Pollari-Mancini network of neo-cons in SISMI.
Scaramella was a consultant for the Mitrokhin Committee, a body set up by the Italian right-wing-controlled Parliament in 2003 to investigate leftist Italian politicians for their links to the Soviets. The committee was a ruse designed to damage the reputations of Italian progressive leaders. Guzzanti was the committee chairman and another Scaramella friend, Senator Lucio Malan, also of Forza Italiana, served as a member. Italian sources report that Guzzanti told Scaramella that the "Capo," meaning Berlusconi, was going to be pleased with damaging information Litvinenko could pass on about Prodi. Scaramella also reportedly told Italian right-wing politicians of support from a top-level contact in or close to the U.S. government. That has been taken to mean the CIA, but our Italian sources believe it is likely someone associated with the neo-con network in either the Pentagon or National Security Council of the White House. Even more intriguing is a report from a confidential Italian source that Scaramella received funding from a French environmental group "front" activity, a possible link between the Italian agent of influence and a huge neo-con false flag operation involving French Interior Minister and presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarkozy, himself, has been accused of receiving illegal funds through dubious bank accounts in Luxembourg and some of those funds have Russian-Israeli mafia fingerprints written all over them.
The Mitrokhin Committee neo-cons and neo-fascists attempted to link the Italian left to the kidnapping and murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978 and the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1981. We now know from history that Moro was kidnapped and assassinated by Red Brigades in the employment of the Italian fascists, particularly agents associated with the fascist P-2 secret Masonic lodge and the similarly fascist Opus Dei as retaliation for Moro's plans to bring the Communists into a grand coalition. We also now know that Mehmet Ali Agca, the would-be killer of the Pope, was a member of Turkey's far right Gray Wolves and the plot was carried out to lay blame on the Russian KGB and Bulgaria's secret intelligence service.
Sergei Stepashin, former Russian Prime Minister and chief of the Federal Security Service (FSB), said, "It is apparent that those who wanted to tarnish the current Russian authorities, and primarily the president, killed Litvinenko." Two Russian business associates of Litvinenko, Dmitri Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoi (a former agent with the KGB's 9th Directorate, which protected Russian nuclear weapons caches), who met Litvinenko at the Pine Bar of the Millennium Hotel in London, have reportedly been affected by exposure to polonium-210 and seven bartenders who worked at the bar have tested positive for contamination with polonium-210. The Itsu sushi bar in :Picadilly where Litvinenko met Scaramella is now not assumed to be the location where Litvinenko was poisoned. Trace of polonium-210 were found at the restaurant but focus is on the Pine Bar at the Millenium as the scene of the poisoning.
Perhaps not surprisingly, FBI agents have been dispatched to London to investigate the Litvinenko death, even though the United States lacks jurisdiction in the case, since no Americans are involved. However, since even before 9/11, the FBI has covered for the international global mafia of terrorists and smugglers, and agents for this network who have been caught in the United States, including Israeli "art students," office and home furniture "movers," and "tourists" photographing sensitive U.S. installations have merely been deported by the FBI back to Israel. Many of the Israelis also possessed passports from Russia and Ukraine. The FBI's interest in the case may be to cover-up the United States as a source of the polonium-210.
What is now even more intriguing is where traces of polonium have also been detected in the case. The British embassy in Moscow and two British Airways Boeing 767a used on the Moscow-London route have tested positive for polonium-210. Kotvun and Lugovoi met the deputy British ambassador at the British embassy in Moscow prior to their trip to London and Lugovoi is claiming that someone, perhaps the British government, is now involved in trying to frame him. A car used by Kotvun in Hamburg on October 31, the night before he left for London, has also tested positive for polonium-210. However, traces of polonium-210 were also found on a Finnair plane that traveled to Moscow from Berlin via Helsinki.
If Britain's intelligence service is involved in the plot to set up Putin by using two unsuspecting Russian businessmen, it means that the Russian-Israeli global mafia has as many links and resources inside British intelligence as it does inside the FBI and U.S. intelligence. And that is a problem that would make James Bond tender his resignation.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has cleared Russia as the source of any illegal radioactive materials shipments. No shipments of polonium have been made by Russia to the UK since 2001.
WMR was the first to report on why polonium was possibly selected as the radioactive weapon of choice. Polonium was discovered by Marie Curie, a champion of Polish independence. The present neo-con government of Poland is a now a favorite base for the Russian-Israeli mafia. It is governed by two far right twins -- the Kaczynski brothers (Lech Kaczynski, the President, and Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the Prime Minister -- and includes a noted neo-con, Radek Sikorksi, formerly of the American Enterprise Institute as Defense Minister. Sikorksi is a vitriolic critic of the Russian-Germany undersea Baltic gas pipeline who has made no secret of his dislike for Putin and Gazprom pipeline consortium chief Gerhard Schroeder, the former Social Democratic Chancellor of Germany who is enjoying a rise in popularity at the expense of Christian Democratic Chancellor Angela Merkel, his successor. Any attempt to smear Putin also affects Schroeder, a close friend.
[Note: It is always interesting how the neo-con Mafia reacts when someone gets close to their sordid actions. A web site that appears to be quite close to the fake progressive web site Democratic Underground had a fit with the exposure of the Litvinenko case}.
Poland's right-wing government, like Italy's under Berlusconi, is now engaged in a major program to "out" leading Polish politicians linked to Poland's Cold War-era Communist regime. The process, called "lustration," has also been used by Czech right-wingers to embarrass and ruin progressive political leaders. Poland's lustration law, pushed through by the Kacynskis, resulted in dirt being cast out on former Polish President Aleksandr Kwasniewski, whose attempt to replace Kofi Annan as UN Secretary General was cleverly derailed as a result of the accusations. South Korea's suspected Sun Myung Moon/Unification Church adherent, Ban Ki-moon, was elected with the strong support of US ambassador to the UN John Bolton, a close friend of Sikorski and his neocon Polish government colleagues, the Kaczynskis. However, one of the "incriminating" documents found on Kwasniewski was a Polish security service document that stated Kwasniewksi, while the Communist government's Sports Minister, was a head security agent on Poland's Olympic team that competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. Kwasniewski would have reported on any attempts to get members of the team to defect by U.S. intelligence officers or agents of the host country, South Korea. At the time of the Olympics, Ban was First Secretary of the South Korean embassy in Washington and maintained close links to the Reagan-Bush intelligence infrastructure, an infrastructure that was promoting a revolt in Eastern Europe using emigre groups that included those affiliated with Sun Myung Moon's organization.
However, Poland's lustration process appears to be more of an attempt to change the subject amid a major political scandal involving one of the Polish right-wing coalition partners -- the League of Polish Families which has the Education Minister portfolio held by Roman Giertych. Photos of a League of Polish Families meeting have surfaced in the Polish press showing swastikas and members giving the "Seig Heil" salute. As with the UK Independence Party, the Italian neo-fascists, and French right-wing parties, the Russian-Israeli Mafia has no problem dealing with Nazis, fascists, or anyone else that can provide it influence. The Russian-Israeli Mafia has also shown itself adept at destroying its political enemies. Out Italian sources also report that Naples, where Scaramella maintained ties to the local Mafia's weapons smuggling operations, is a hotbed of activity for the Russian-Israeli Mafia. It is also a major center for the Mafia to recruit local Italian police and prison guards for various "services." The mysterious death of Litvinenko may yet expose the Mafia's true leadership and aims.
