Operation Cyanide and Israel's Role in 9/11

Tim King Salem-News.com

Israel seems to have a nasty habit of using false information to drag the U.S. into wars.

They say when you are in the military, that you are expendable; flat out government property. For Uncle Sam's sake you will do what you're told and if that includes dying, well... then you have to die.

This flies for many patriots and maybe it should, but not if you come to learn that you aren't even fighting your own war. What? That's right, the war in Iraq, starting with the destruction of the World Trade Towers, the inexplicable collapse of Tower Seven, the Pentagon and Shanksville incident, have Israel's not so well hidden signature scrawled all over them[1].

This kind of thing has been going on for some time, and at one point it almost launched a Third World War.

The money trail is generally what leads to a guilty party, but in life there is more than just a desire for money; there is still a desire to seize land and practice racial bigotry through apartheid laws at minimum, and outright scathing brutality and murder at the other end.

This is the gift for humanity that religious extremism bears. Sometimes they are people like the Taliban, Hell bent on enforcing some neo he-man woman hater's club mentality based on a warped and twisted version of Islam, and then you have the form of religious extremism that invades American households and is rampant among even very docile members of the Christian and Jewish faiths. It is called Zionism, though I suspect most Christians still don't fully comprehend what that means. They think of Mount Zion and Bible songs and prayers.

But what they are supporting, is the genocidal elimination of the people who occupied 99% of what is now Israel, prior to 1947. The Israelis have taken almost all of what was Palestine, and people in places like Gaza are caged in like animals and rarely if ever allowed to enter or leave. People dig tunnels to bring in support, including food and other essentials denied them by the Israelis, and the American media portrays these poor people living in the foulest conditions known to man, as terrorists.

Their soldiers of war are mostly little children with rocks. Throwing one at an Israeli soldier takes a lot of guts, because the soldiers shoot the children dead for it.

The Six Day War

In 1967, Egypt massed troops on the Sinai Peninsula. Israel viewed this as a provocative move. They sent an envoy to talk to U.S. Sec. of Defense Robert McNamara, who said in a recent interview, that his only message to Israel, was to not attack Egypt.

The Israeli envoy is quoted saying he thought he "had a green light for the attack" - which McNamara strongly denied.

Israel dismissed McNamara's suggestion, and launched a Pearl Harbor style attack on Egypt's military. It was on day four of the Six Day War that jet fighters began circling the U.S.S. Liberty, a Navy spy ship off the coast of Gaza in place to monitor the events of our "ally" Israel.

The Americans say that after the initial Israeli jet flyovers, three different aircraft, also French made Mirage fighters, but with no national markings, began attacking the Liberty. The details of this are posted in another article that gives a better idea that was republished yesterday[2].

I also recommend watching the BBC documentary below to get a much better idea than I can give you. Several of the quotes in this story are from that program, and I have also written to a few of the survivors, which I consider an honor.

After the fighter jet attacks came the Israeli Navy, and before it was over, a torpedo slammed into the Liberty. 34 Americans killed, 171 wounded; many very badly.

The U.S. Navy finally received the Liberty's SOS call and an A-4 Skyhawk attack jet was launched off the deck of the U.S.S. America en route to Cairo, to drop something called a Bullpup Missile[3].

By some accounts, the aircraft enroute to Cairo was carrying a nuclear bomb.

Regardless of which weapon it carried, the plane was minutes away from striking when the Pentagon discovered that Israel had attacked the Liberty, not Egypt, and tragedy was narrowly averted.

This is where the story gets very ugly. Many if not most of the survivors of the U.S.S. Liberty, believe that the attack was completely intentional. The theory is that Israel tried to trick the U.S. into being drawn into the war against Egypt, which was at the time being backed by America's Cold War rival, the Soviet Union.

In other words, as the U.S. was losing heavy casualties during the peak of the Vietnam War, Israel tried to trick America into essentially starting WWIII. With friends like that, a nation doesn't need enemies. But then never forget the enemy within.

A document that was located in the national archives by a survivor of the Liberty, indicated that a program called "Operation Cyanide" actually planned the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty months before it happened. It was a product of the U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies. Israeli officials will not comment on the matter over national security.

These entries appear on the Wikipedia page about the U.S.S. Liberty:

James Bamford, a former ABC News producer, in his 2001 book Body of Secrets, proposes a different possible motive for a deliberate attack: to prevent the discovery of a massacre by the IDF of Egyptian prisoners of war that was supposedly taking place at the same time in the nearby town of El-Arish. In 1995, mass graves of Egyptian soldiers were discovered outside of El-Arish, and IDF veterans have admitted that unarmed civilians and prisoners of war were murdered in the 1967 War.

In 2003, journalist Peter Hounam wrote Operation Cyanide: How the Bombing of the USS Liberty Nearly Caused World War III, which proposes a completely different theory regarding the incident. In an attempt to explain why there was no support by U.S. forces as backup, Hounam claims that Israel and U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson had secretly agreed on day four of the Six Day War that the Liberty would be sunk with complete loss of life. The attack would be blamed on Egypt, allowing the U.S. in turn to attack Egypt, thus helping out Israel. However, according to Hounam's theory, because the Liberty did not sink after two hours, the plan was quickly reversed, Israel apologized for the case of mistaken identity, and a cover-up was put into place.[4]{5]

If Israel was willing to be that underhanded and drag the hard pressed American forces onto another battle front in the Mideast in 1967, then they were and are no friend of this country, and it appears to be exactly what took place. If U.S. officials were involved, then it is another classic example like 9/11, where American lives were willingly sacrificed by the government to further drive some kind of political agenda. People are so naive to believe "the government would never do that", yet I fear that they are wrong, very wrong.

Knowing that much, it is easy to conclude that Israel, with its huge influence in American politics, would likely take this route again.

Flash Forward When airplanes struck the towers in New York City, President Bush and other national leaders almost instantly used the incident to frame the rationale for an attack in Afghanistan.

Yet to this day, most people close to the information do not believe Usama bin Laden had anything to do with the attack on the United States, though al Qaeda probably did. But who created al Qaeda? The CIA, during the years we funded the Afghan Mujahideen, who defeated the world's then top superpower next to the USA, the Soviet Union[6].

The United States has not benefited from the wars overseas. We are not safer, we are not better off. We have buried thousands of our own and there are hundreds of thousands who were injured both physically and psychologically through the trauma and violence of combat. In the best case scenario, we are the world's policemen, the ones who are chasing bad guys, but generally not the right ones. It seems perfectly logical that the ever paranoid Israel was behind the events that led to this ridiculous quagmire.

Our writer, noted Author and Attorney Jeff Gates, wrote how Israel's strategists use game theory models to ensure the intended responses to staged provocations and manipulated crises. With the use of game theory algorithms, Gates says, those responses become predictable, even foreseeable-within an acceptable range of probabilities. The waging of war "by way of deception" became a mathematical discipline:

For instance, a skilled game theorist could foresee that, in response to a 9/11-type mass murder, "the mark" (the U.S.) would deploy its military to avenge that attack. With phony intelligence fixed around a preset goal, a game theory algorithm could anticipate that those forces might well be redirected to invade Iraq-not to avenge 9/11 but to pursue the expansionist goals of Greater Israel.

To provoke that invasion required the displacement of an inconvenient truth (Iraq played no role in 9/11) with what lawmakers and the public could be deceived to believe. The emotionally wrenching nature of that incident was essential in order to induce Americans to abandon rational analysis and to facilitate their reliance on false intelligence.[7].

The Coalition destabilized the Middle East, and drew hundred of billions of dollars from the U.S. and world economy that are now strapped on the backs of all Americans as a massive debt. It isn't a world war, but it was in terms of national grace. The U.S. became a thug in the world under Bush, a mean fleet of Humvees coming to a village near you.

So we appear to finally be winding down in Iraq, though Americans keep serving and dying there, and we seem to have some focus in Afghanistan, though no foreign invading/occupying army has ever won a war there, but in some way, somehow, an end to the madness seems possible.

And there is that irritating barking poodle with sharp teeth and a mean bite called Israel, nipping at the heels of the American public with never-ending news reports about Iran's nukes which by all accounts do not exist, pushing this nation closer and closer into a new war, where all kinds of new young Americans can die. Well, forget it. Consider a strike on Iran the end, Americans will not go along with it. Decent people can still rule the day.

Americans need to shake their heads over the constant, never-ending lies about Iran having nuclear weapons. They don't have them, yet Israel has at least 150 deadly nuclear warheads that are all illegal and undeclared. They kept the wool over Americans eyes with that for twenty years.

But even when Israel was exposed for harboring all kinds of deadly nuclear warheads here in the states a couple of years ago, nothing happened. Iran is accused of "seeking" to "build nuclear arms" as Israel, in possession of so many, laughs and lies across American TV screens[8].

In spite of the obvious problems, we somehow are still, once again, moving closer and closer to some World War Three scenario, over false, totally bogus information.

Of course this is because of the huge Zionist presence in the ranks of both national media and politics. Seriously, if you don't know already, Salem-News.com is still the only American news group that really looks at this openly and truthfully. I think the day is near when that will no longer be the case.
