18 September 2010 By Jeff Gates Even with the media support required to sustain
hate in plain sight, today’s background chatter
suggests that those worried about U.S. national
security are at work in the shadows to counter the
influence of the Israel lobby. If so, that is good news—for the United States. When Israeli-American writer Jeff Goldberg appeared
again in the news, you knew psy-ops were underway. In
March 2002, Goldberg published in The New Yorker
a lengthy story alleging an alliance between the
religious jihadists of Al Qaeda and the secular
Baathists of Iraq. Though a nonsensical premise, his account made such
an alliance appear plausible to a public lacking in
knowledge of the Middle East. Goldberg’s storyline
made it easier for Saddam Hussein to be portrayed as
both an Evil Doer and a threat to the U.S. Goldberg’s collaborator was James Woolsey, a former
Director of the CIA and an avid Zionist. Woolsey
assured us that Iraqi intelligence officials met in
Prague with Al Qaeda. By association, his stature in
intelligence lent credibility to phony intelligence
fixed around an Israeli agenda. Goldberg reemerged in July to promote Evil Doer
status for Iran. Writing in the July 22nd issue of The
Atlantic, he argued the Israeli case for bombing
Iran and urged that the U.S. again join the fray. No
one in mainstream media mentioned his earlier
manipulation. Based on the consistency of his “journalism,” it
came as no surprise to see Goldberg reemerge just in
time for the ninth anniversary of 911. Aided by an
array of false intelligence reported by a complicit
media, that murderous provocation helped persuade the
U.S. to invade Iraq to remove Evil Doer Saddam
Hussein. That March 2003 agenda was first promoted in 1996
in A Clean Break, a strategy paper written
for Benjamin Netanyahu by an Israeli-American team led
by Richard Perle. This Jewish-Zionist operative
re-emerged in July 2001 to chair the Pentagon’s
Defense Policy Board where he was joined by Woolsey
and others supportive of this Israeli agenda. Advancing the Narrative Fast-forward to September 2010 and we find Goldberg
back at work promoting his interview with Fidel
Castro. Emerging fact patterns suggest it came as no
surprise to our national security apparatus that the
theme of this latest well-timed Goldberg article was
the Cuban leader’s concern that Iranian president
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is “anti-Semitic.” The timing of this report came as a surprise to
those aware that Castro has long been critical of
Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. Goldberg reports he was “summoned” to Havana to
discuss Castro’s fears of a global nuclear war. After
conceding in the interview that the 1962 Cuban Missile
Crisis “wasn’t worth it,” Castro turned to a theme of
topical importance to Tel Aviv, insisting that the
Iranian government must understand that Jews “were
expelled from their land, persecuted and mistreated
all over the world.” Knowing Cuba’s pre-revolution alliance with Meyer
Lansky and other kingpins in Jewish organized crime,
one must wonder if this “journalist” was dispatched to
commence negotiations for gambling concessions as a
means to fill the Castro government’s depleted
coffers. The recent relaxation of restrictions on travel to
Cuba may signal a pending return to Cuba’s “glory
days” as a nearby haven for organized crime. Castro’s well-timed comments about persecuted Jews
may have been a signal that Cuba is again open for
business—any business. At the very least, his comments
were like a healing balm to nationalist Zionist
settlers who have plans to construct another 19,000
home in the West Bank. So much for those who seek to quell Israel’s
long-running land dispute with the Palestinians in
order to keep peace talks on track. Within two days of the release of the Goldberg
interview, vandals in Sacramento, California used a
swastika to deface an image of Israeli basketball star
Omri Casspi. The identity of the vandals has not been
confirmed. This much has been confirmed: timing is everything
when seeking to sustain a storyline. Casting Castro as
pro-Israeli was a stroke of genius. Here’s where it starts of get interesting as
Americans wake up to find themselves unwitting
combatants in the first real Information Age War. When
waging modern-day warfare in the shared field of
consciousness, media is routinely deployed to displace
facts with false beliefs. Thus the need for substantial and sustained
influence in that domain by those determined to shape
the political narrative. No one does that better than
those who induced the world’s greatest super power to
wage a war on their behalf. Recent developments suggest that the dynamics may
be shifting in the “field” where political narratives
are advanced and where today’s wars are either won or
lost. That field is the shared field of consciousness
where consensus beliefs are created and sustained. In news reported from the Middle East on September
10, Washington took a surprising stance in support of
Iranian claims that Tehran was not building a new
uranium enrichment facility. That statement came after
an Iranian dissident group, in a well-timed release,
charged that Iran had a new secret nuclear site 120
kilometers north of Tehran. That disclaimer preempted a lead editorial in
The New York Times published in the U.S. later
that same day—just before the ninth anniversary of
911. That editorial sought to give credence to a
report that had already been dismissed as not
credible. Was this an example of U.S. national security
attempting to reclaim the narrative? Does this signal
a new aggressiveness by the U.S. in waging field-based
warfare against those whose successful deceptions led
us to war in the Middle East? Two days prior, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
gave a speech stating “there may not be another
chance” for Mideast peace. That statement came the
same day that a senior Palestinian negotiator
confirmed they would not recognize Israel as a Jewish
state. Clinton said nothing. Could these developments signal a crack in the
Zionist agenda that has shaped U.S. foreign policy for
more than six decades? Are Zionists losing their
chokehold on the White House? If so, will the Israel lobby again rally Congress
to Israel’s defense? Will we see another “unbreakable bond” resolution
urging that U.S. interests continue to take second
place to Tel Aviv’s agenda for the region? Will the national security interests of the U.S.
prevail or will Zionist goals again triumph? Timing is Everything While these events were unfolding, The New York
Times continued to stoke the controversy
surrounding “International Burn A Koran Day.” The nation’s “newspaper of record” conceded that
this well-timed controversy began with local coverage
by The Gainesville Sun (owned by The New
York Times) when pastor Terry Jones posted a sign
outside his small church that read “Islam is of the
devil.” By August 26th, The Times was
prepared to publish a major article on Jones and the
anti-Islam views of his 50-member congregation. By
September 9th, Iranian Foreign Minister
Manouchehr Mottaki was prepared to say with confidence
that Zionists were responsible for the Jones plan to
burn a Koran on 911. In a fortuitous case of timing, recordings played
in a federal courtroom on September 8th
showed how a government informer induced a 2009
synagogue bomb plot in New York. The recordings made
it clear that those on trial as “homegrown terrorists
bent on jihad” were not even modestly well versed in
Islam. To make a plausible case for later use in the
courtroom, the informer prompted comments consistent
with the hate-mongering motivation at the heart of the
prosecution’s case. Do these small chinks in the Zionist armor suggest
that Israeli dominance of U.S. foreign policy may be
drawing to a close?
