Wikileaks Scam: A Mossad PsyOps Aimed at Iran?

Wikileaks Scam: A Mossad PsyOps Aimed at Iran?  October 23, 2010

 The new Wikileaks claims the US undereported by 15,000, the deaths of Iraqi "civilians." With the numbers listed by the military as little as 10% or less of the actual deaths, bumping up the numbers must be a joke.

More leaks about torture and killings, Iraqi torture and the US "looking away?" More idiocy. With the US sending "suspects" around the world on rendition flights, sent to secret prisons and obvious to anyone with a brain, to shallow graves, this Wikileak is simply another sideshow, more "chickenfeed."

Things have already come apart in Iraq. Why leak this now? Regular news stories are actually going much further than these "leaks." It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the agenda here, an agenda with absolutely nothing to do with enlightening the world.

What does it prove, any of it? For sure, we see one thing. Everything leaked is carefully screened to have nothing of real value.

With Mossad running around Mosul, operating out of Erbil, supplying and advising the terrorist PKK, not a word is mentioned.

Instead, poor Iranians are swimming the Euphrates with explosives strapped to their chests.

Get real.

Thousands of tons of explosives were "mislaid" in Iraq. The US failed to secure Saddam’s weapons depots which were looted. These stockpiles were vast. The idea that anyone would need to bring weapons into Iraq is insane, simply another Israeli ploy to pre-stage an attack on Iran. Any fool can see this in seconds.

In fact, there are more assault rifles in Iraq than people.

While trying to blame Iran, is Wikileaks reporting the hundreds of thousands of weapons bought by the US that simply disappeared in Iraq?

It is easier to buy an assault rifle or RPG in Iraq than to get potato chips. This need to blame Iran, the idea that "secret agents" are smuggling ordnance into Iraq, a country loaded with explosives, is insane. Who would believe it? The idiotic controlled press?

What will we see if we watch the stories coming out? Where will the press be told to manipulate the public to look?

THE LIES BEGIN...

"Iran's Training for Iraqi Militants Outlined in Leaked Pentagon Documents"

Bloomberg and The Guardian start the ball rolling. Imagine Iraq, a country with the 3rd largest military force in the world, needing "trainers" from Iran. Iraq with its elite Republican Guard and one million man army has more people with military training that Britain, a fact The Guardian seems oblivious to.

One minute, Iraq is building nuclear weapons and threatening the region with SCUD missiles, the next it is having to turn to "Iranian experts" to build pipe bombs. Has any nation ever suffered such a case of collective amnesia in the area of weapons technology before?

As the days pass, we can expect more and more fanciful accounts of Iranian spies, trainers, kidnappers and terrorists, each story more sensational and fictitious than the last.

There is a more insidious aspect to Wikleaks. Through representing itself as "anti-war" and "public spirited," it carries forward a globalist agenda, promoting war, promoting regional strife, coincidentally all directly tied to Israel's "hit list," the nations Israel openly advocates someone else destroys.

One could easily describe Wikileaks as a Mossad PsyOp.

Thus, Wikileaks is very effective in derailing genuine dialog and meaningful dissent.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GONZALES TOLD US TORTURE WAS GOOD FOR US

Americans proved long ago that they were immune to guilt about torture and killing. In fact, polls show that the more religious an American, the more willing they are to accept brutality, and few countries are as "religious" as America.

No other country in recent times as killed as many people as America, even overshadowing the ethnic cleansing in Rwanda and Bosnia or the "situation' in Israel.

As with the earlier "leak," Wikileaks has the ability to go through hundreds of thousands of pages of documents, carefully eliminating any blackmarket dealings, drug running or, as with Iraq, the massive corruption and theft of oil.

There are dozens of subjects that seem to be carefully screened from any Wikileak. Even the Department of Defense, not so secretly, thanks Wikileaks for holding back really embarrassing information.

"Held back" information is, of course, blackmail.

Who is Wikileaks? Is Wikileaks Israel?

Only Israel has the penetration of the Department of Defense that would allow this kind of spying. Not only can they do it, they also have so many spies in the American chain of command, they could easily prevent it. Who has the facilities to gather and filter this much data? Who would want to?

With the biggest story in Iraq the falsified intelligence on "weapons of mass destruction," why didn't Wikileaks get us documents on this? We know that the military had orders to try to falsify documents showing that they found fully operating nuclear, biological and chemical warfare facilities.

These would have made good reading along with the thousands of pages of reports about how these stories would be fabricated. Even the "controlled pres" wouldn’t touch them although they are still out there.

The lies.

Exposing this real Iraq scandal would so some good, except for one thing, friends of Israel inside the Pentagon were the creators of this program.

Is this why Wikileaks dodges the real issues? Is it because the trail for much of what happened in Iraq heads directly to Tel Aviv?

Who even cares about Iraq this many years later?

Look at the watered down reports about American support of Al Qaeda. The US is blamed for accidentally helping Al Qaeda by organizing the Sons of Iraq. In truth, the US actually reorganized the Baathists, something far worse than the imaginary construct "Al Qaeda." Not a word is said about this.

One of the biggest scams of the Iraq 'experience' was the looting of oil resources. Most easily verified is the theft of oil from the Kirkuk fields through the Kirkuk/Ceyhan pipeline, which goes to the Mediterranean through Turkey. Ships that load oil are shown on locator sights run by insurance companies and even the US Coast Guard. Their tonnage is available, how many ships, how long. When doing the math, how much oil is loaded compared to how much is paid for, billions and billions of dollars of oil is missing.

When Americans were paying $4 a gallon for gas, how many knew the oil that made the gasoline was "free' to the oil companies? Who spit the take on this? Who was paid? How much was stolen through Basra? Were the British involved?

Then we have Fallujah. We are told America “carpet bombed” civilians and "ethnically cleansed" the area, as we are now informed, for no reason. The version the Army told is being debunked along with the phony stories of the "embedded" press. Nothing on this hit Wikileaks either.

We are also noting high levels of radiation there and a health crisis that can only be described as shocking. Where is wikileaks on this REAL story?

There is little doubt that Wikileaks is a "sideshow" run by an intelligence agency with dozens of agents inside the Department of Defense. Only Israel has this capability, having penetrated Defense to such a degree they run it as their own. What is the agenda of Wikileaks? Is it revealing the truth?

If so, why is the truth censored and watered down to such a degree as to be "non-news" as the earlier leak had been. In fact, most stories about leaks are simply speculation and most "leaks" are little than "chickenfeed."

The last leak was an attack on Pakistan. Wikileaks tried to make a case for Pakistan running the Taliban in Afghanistan. However, the Taliban are Pashtun and don’t care much for Pakistan, they are 'blood enemies." Because of this, Israel and India have found them useful allies against Pakistan, the only Islamic nuclear power.

Aid of all kinds gets to the Taliban from the Mossad and RAW, something Wikileaks worked hard to keep secret.

Real leaks by former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds proved that documents exist showing that rendition flights were used to ferry terrorists around, move drugs and tons of cash. With bales of cash leaving Afghanistan every day, why is it that not one page, not one word of any of this, things we know are in American files, hit Wikileaks?

Why does Wikileaks spend more time hiding things than revealing them? When the story dies down, are the Julian Assange rape allegations going to be dragged out again to give the story more play?

Last time they 'double dipped' on that one, first charges, then no charges, then charges. It was like a badly written "soap opera." We have just received reports of Julian Assange fleeing Pentagon death squads. We are told he has virtually disappeared off the face of the planet. We also have a schedule of public appearances and interviews for Assange, who will mysteriously re-materialize when needed. Ah, to have powers such as those.

What about this new "leak?'

This one may be aimed at Iran.

Anyone surprised or shocked to find that Iraqi security forces killed or tortured people is living on their own private planet. These were Saddam's killers and torturers first. Then they became ours. What do killers and torturers do?

There was one reason for the invasion of Iraq with all the lies, all the killing, all the corruption. Israel wanted Iraq destroyed. Will Wikileaks ever get to something real?

[2010 Jan] General Ivashov: “International terrorism does not exist”   Only secret services and their current chiefs – or those retired but still having influence inside the state organizations – have the ability to plan, organize and conduct an operation of such magnitude. Generally, secret services create, finance and control extremist organizations. Without the support of secret services, these organizations cannot exist – let alone carry out operations of such magnitude inside countries so well protected. Planning and carrying out an operation on this scale is extremely complex.  Osama bin Laden and “Al Qaeda” cannot be the organizers nor the performers of the September 11 attacks. They do not have the necessary organization, resources or leaders. Thus, a team of professionals had to be created and the Arab kamikazes are just extras to mask the operation.

Vet: "The war in Iraq is now having a demographic effect on the Iraqi population for the simple reason that there are so many car-bombings and shootings, all entirely concentrated on the young. This is a sure indication that the Mossad and the CIA are at work. Whenever they run an insurrection, they engineer demographic change and one of the largest groups hit in Iraq have been the 'breeding cows' (females anywhere from 2- to 20-years-old).  "Concentrating war on a very finite section of population is a known Israeli and CIA tactic. The CIA used it in South America where they ran genocidal conflicts in conjunction with the Mossad. When school came out there were no breeding cows (schoolgirls). This was even noticeable after the CIA coup against Allende in 1973. "The CIA trained the local Argentine Army Special Forces in the College of the Americas where they did the short graduate course, 'How to be a paedophile'. As a result, the Argentine Army Special Forces couldn't drive their international 6x6 trucks passed school bus stops without arresting nearly every schoolgirl in sight." Hitler was a British Agent by Greg Hallett

Within minutes the Spymaster contacted me and said: "Westfield property bought the Twin Towers two months before 9-11. Westfield is a front for the Mossad who bough it for Silverstein Properties - the Mossad. There was a clause in the purchase that they didn't have to do any maintenance in case of terrorism ... The building was insured." The Mossad purchased the Twin Towers in July 2001 when the required extensive maintenance and were near the end of their life. The buildings were attacked in an act of terrorism, the government cleaned up the mess, the insurance companies paid out, everyone else's premiums went up worldwide, and Silverstein Properties ended up with a freehold empty section and enough money to build again from scratch. Nice little stitch-up. Hitler was a British Agent by Greg Hallett p.430

It is no secret that Israel provides training and weapons for local "Jewish defense groups" in the United States and many other countries. Victor Ostrovsky, a former intelligence case officer of the Mossad, Israel's spy and secret service agency, confirms this connection in his much-discussed book, By Way of Deception.  One department of the Mossad, writes Ostrovsky, is the Tsafririm, which is:  "responsible for setting up Jewish defense groups, called "frames," or misgerot, all over the world, now including some parts of the United States, where anti-Semitism is regarded as a threat ... The main job is to help the leaders of Jewish communities outside Israel plan for their own security. Part of this is done through the hets va-keshet, or "bow and arrow," Israel's paramilitary youth brigades.
... Often youths from other countries are brought over [to Israel] to spend the summer learning about security, picking up such skills as completing obstacle courses, pitching tents, and learning how to use a sniper rifle and Uzi assault rifle. Still others learn upgraded security skills, such as how to build a slick, for hiding weapons or documents, when and how to do security checks, as well as fundamentals of investigation and intelligence gathering."
Israel provides weapons for the many "Jewish defense groups," confirms Ostrovsky, indirectly through known arms dealers. [1993] The Zionist Terror Network Background and Operation of the Jewish Defense League and other Criminal Zionist Groups

In Europe the most important Zionist terrorist group is Tagar, the youth (or "student") branch of the radical Zionist movement Betar. The Tagar/Betar group has carried out numerous criminal attacks against "enemies," including Holocaust revisionists. Headquartered in Paris, Tagar/Betar has close ties with the Israeli government, and particularly with the political party of Begin and Shamir. Tagar is reportedly controlled by Israel's covert operations agency, the Mossad.
    Tagar activists have often boasted of their determination to "strike" against anyone who "denies the Holocaust." Tagar admitted responsibility for a physical assault against French revisionist historian Olivier Mathieu during a television interview in February 1990. Three months later, Tagar thugs sacked the "Ogmios" bookstore in Paris (which carried revisionist titles).
    Tagar/Betar activists receive combat training along military lines from Israeli army officers. Tagar members wear paramilitary blue uniforms with white ties (the Zionist colors). Tagar/Betar has operated in Europe with the knowledge and approval of high French officials such as Prime Minister Laurent Fabius (who is Jewish). In more than one Tagar/Betar attack against opponents, French police have passively stood by.
    Tagar activists have operated in France under other names, including "Jewish Defense Organization" and "Jewish Combat Organization." Private para-military groups are strictly forbidden in France, except Jewish ones. Between June 1976 and April 1991, such Jewish "militias" have carried out 50 attacks. In effect, Jewish terrorists in Europe can attack their "enemies" with impunity.
    Tagar has also been active in the United States. In February 1992, the "Tagar Student Zionist Organization at the Ohio State University" in Columbus organized a protest meeting against Holocaust revisionism. The group distributed a leaflet -- which, typically, contained factual falsehoods -- specifically attacking revisionist activist Bradley Smith. [1993] The Zionist Terror Network Background and Operation of the Jewish Defense League and other Criminal Zionist Groups

If you go to London at present, around the West End where I live you'll find every parking meter, every lamppost, every traffic standard, every traffic light have got stickers on them saying "Smash David Irving," "Stop Irving," or "Irving Speaks, Rostock Burns." Behind this is a group that calls itself CAFE, the Committee Against Fascism in Europe, which the Daily Express tells me is in fact a front for the Mossad. They've gone 'round putting up these stickers all over the West End of London advertising mass-meetings outside my home, and very kindly giving my address. Adolf Eichmann, of course, is now the man with whom the public most associates what they call the "Holocaust."  [1992] The Suppressed Eichmann and Goebbels Papers By David Irving

Israeli Hackers Vow to Defend

Israeli Hackers Vow to Defend

Carmen J. Gentile Email 11.15.00

A group of self-described ethical hackers are taking the reins of the Israelis' Web networks into their own hands in the Middle East's cyberwar.

Known as the Israeli Internet Underground, the coalition of anonymous online activists from various Israeli technology companies has set up a website to disseminate information concerning the ongoing battle in cyberspace.

According to the IIU mantra, they are "dedicated to the Israeli spirit and united to protect Israel on the Internet against any kind of attacks from malicious hacking groups."

The site claims to provide a comprehensive list of sites that were hacked by Arab attackers since the cyberwar went into full swing on Oct. 6.

Listed are over 40 Israeli sites that have been defaced and vandalized by various hacking groups. The number coincides with estimates provided by officials at iDefense, an international private intelligence outfit in Washington that is monitoring the ongoing war.

IIU also provides a list of Israeli sites that they believe run services with commonly known security holes like BIND NXT overflow, IIS 4 holes and FTP format string bugs.

Examples of defacements by Arab hackers such as the one perpetrated on the homepage of Jerusalembooks.com, one of the largest Jewish booksellers on the Web, serve as a warning to those Israeli sites with suspect security.

The Jerusalembooks.com text and graphics were recently replaced with the word "Palestine" in flaming letters and with text asking Israelis if the torah teaches them to kill innocent kids and rape women. The site is currently under construction due to the attack.

Taking credit for the attack is the group GForce Pakistan, a well-known activist group that has joined forces with Palestinians and other Arab hackers in fighting the cyberwar against Israeli interests.

Working alongside the group is the highly skilled Arab hacker named dodi. On November 3, dodi defaced an Israeli site and stated he could shut down the Israeli ISP NetVision, host of almost 70 percent of the country's Internet traffic.

Though petty defacements and racial slurs have been the norm on both sides of the battle, Arab hackers like dodi have promised to kick the war into high gear in the coming days, implementing what they refer to as phases three and four of their "cyber-jihad."

The Muslim extremist group UNITY, with ties to Hezbollah, laid out a four-part plan for destroying the Israeli Internet infrastructure at the onset of the cyberwar. Phase four culminates in blitzing attacks on e-commerce sites, "causing millions of dollars of losses in transactions."

IIU said there is already evidence of phase-four attacks, such as the destruction of business sites with e-commerce capabilities, which they believe caused a recent 8 percent dip in the Israeli stock exchange.


"The current onslaught of cyber attacks against Israel's key websites is perhaps the most extensive, coordinated malicious hacking effort in history," said Peggy Weigle, president and CEO of Sanctum Inc., a security firm based in Santa Clara and founded by two Israelis.

"ISPs and e-businesses must recognize the need to install protection that goes beyond firewalls to provide real security against application-level assaults."

In order to thwart future attacks, IIU has created what they call the "SODA project" (sod is Hebrew for secret). The stated goal of the project is "to inform and provide solutions wherever we can and therefore protect our sites against political cyber vandalism." It lists those websites with security vulnerabilities, making them susceptible to future attacks by Islamic groups.

The SODA project formed an alliance with the Internet security firm 2XS Ltd., which is linked to the site and agreed to provide security advice for casualties of the cyberwar. Though 2XS Ltd. does not accept responsibility for IIU actions, company CTO Ehud Tenebaum founded the group back in 1996, when he went by the name "Analyzer."

According to Tenebaum, on Nov. 3, IIU contacted 2XS Ltd. to share their idea of creating a site for publishing vulnerability alerts. "I liked the idea and took it to our management," said Tenebaum.

Another link on the SODA project is the Internet security information forum SecurityFocus.com, a resource guide to online security links and services based in San Mateo, California. Technical editor for SecurityFocus.com, Ryan Russell, said the site is not taking any sides in the Middle Eastern war, though he believes that the attackers seem to have the upper hand.

"Typically, the odds are heavily in the attackers' favor -- the attacker can launch attacks against any number of sites for little to no cost," said Russell. "They only need to find one vulnerable victim to succeed, perhaps after checking thousands of potential victims."

Since both Arabs and Israelis are launching volley after volley against the others' sites, Russell believes that neither faction gets to play the victim in this war. "The victims ends up being citizens and businesses in the affected area," he said. "Unfortunately, I guess that's not uncommon in that part of the world."

Hackers Ascend Upper 'Echelon'

Hackers Ascend Upper 'Echelon'

Mossad. Bomb. Davidian. MI5.LCOS

If the hunch of a loose-knit group of cyber-activists is correct, the above words will trip the keyword recognition filter on a global spy system partly managed by the US National Security Agency.

The near-mythical worldwide computer spy network reportedly scans all email, packet traffic, telephone conversations -- and more -- around the world, in an effort to ferret out potential terrorist or enemy communications.


See also:Spying on the Spies


Once plucked from the electronic cloud, certain keywords allegedly trigger a recording of the conversation or email in question.

Privacy activists have used the words in their signature files for years as a running schtick, but on 21 October, a group of activists orginating on the "hacktivist" mailing list hope to to trip up Echelon on a much wider scale.

"What is [Echelon] good for?" asked Linda Thompson, a constitutional rights attorney and chairman of the American Justice Federation.

"If you want to say we can catch criminals with it, it is insane that anyone should be able to snoop on anyone's conversations."

"Criminals ought to be caught after they commit a crime -- but police are not here to invade all our privacy to catch that two percent [of criminal communications]," she said.

A 1994 report by the Anti-Defamation League described Thompson as "an influential figure in the militia movement nationally." The report says the American Justice Federation describes itself as "a group dedicated to stopping the New World Order and getting the truth out to the American public."

The Anti-Defamation League says Thompson claims to have contact with militias in all 50 states.

On 21 October, Thompson, along with Doug McIntosh, a reporter for the federation's news service, and members of the hacktivism mailing list community, invite anyone concerned about the system to append a list of intriguing words to their emails.

Specifically, they suggest the following keywords:

FBI CIA NSA IRS ATF BATF DOD WACO RUBY RIDGE OKC OKLAHOMA CITY MILITIA GUN HANDGUN MILGOV ASSAULT RIFLE TERRORISM BOMB DRUG HORIUCHI KORESH DAVIDIAN KAHL POSSE COMITATUS RANDY WEAVER VICKIE WEAVER SPECIAL FORCES LINDA THOMPSON SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP SOG SOF DELTA FORCE CONSTITUTION BILL OF RIGHTS WHITEWATER POM PARK ON METER ARKANSIDE IRAN CONTRAS OLIVER NORTH VINCE FOSTER PROMIS MOSSAD NASA MI5 ONI CID AK47 M16 C4 MALCOLM X REVOLUTION CHEROKEE HILLARY BILL CLINTON GORE GEORGE BUSH WACKENHUT TERRORIST TASK FORCE 160 SPECIAL OPS 12TH GROUP 5TH GROUP SF

The campaign has spread around the Net and has been translated into German. Organizers hope "gag Echelon day" catches on on a global scale as a means of raising awareness of the system.

Neither the NSA, nor its UK equivalent -- the Government Communications Headquarters -- has admitted that the system exists, although its capabilities have been debated in the European Parliament.

Australia's Defense Signals Directorate, an agency allegedly involved in Echelon, recently admitted the existence of UKUSA, the agreement between five national communications agencies that reportedly governs the system.

Last fall, the Washington-based civil liberties group Free Congress Foundation sent a detailed report on the system to Congress, but the system was not debated.

The latest effort hopes to further boost public awareness of the system.

"Most people are angry about it," said Thompson. "When you find out it is not some science fiction movie, most people will be outraged."

But an Australian member of the activist community hopes that "jam Echelon day" will be about public awareness of technologies of political control, not about generating paranoia.

"Public awareness should empower -- not scare people aware from using the Net," the activist, who identified himself only as Sam, said.

Editor's Note: This Story has been corrected. The Jam Echelon Day project will be held 21 October, and coordinated by members of the Hacktivism mailing list. The article had incorrectly suggested that the American Justice Federation had organized the event. Wired News regrets the error.
