ANOTHER CIA COUP IN EGYPT?

Egypt's King Farouk, toppled by the CIA.

We believe that the trouble in Egypt is organised by the CIA and its friends.

"According to one eyewitness ... original protesters are being replaced by ... outsiders ... They all have the same model of cell phones and they all have the same blankets." (Egypt Coup.)


Mubarak, made to look like Farouk. Website for this image

In 1952, the CIA, with some help from the KGB, toppled Egypt's King Farouk, who was a friend of the British.

A. The CIA and KGB spread anti-Farouk propaganda. (Egyptian Revolution of 1952 - Wikipedia)

During the winter of 1951–1952, police officers, backed by the CIA and KGB, began promoting terrorist attacks. (Egyptian Revolution of 1952 - Wikipedia)

B. Thus, Farouk was undermined.

And CIA asset Gamal Abdel Nasser was able to come to power. (NASSER OF THE CIA)

C. However, Nasser found himself undermined by Israel, so he flirted with Russia.

The CIA then began plotting against Nasser.

Now it's Mubarak's turn.

Who is going to run Egypt? US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen is greeted by Egyptian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Sami Enan in Cairo on 14 February 2010. Mullen was on a weeklong tour of the region. (WHO CONTROLS THE EGYPTIAN MILITARY? HISTORY OF MAN...)

D. The CIA put the military into power in Egypt in 1952. They are likely to remain the power in Egypt.

The CIA put the military into power in Indonesia in 1965. The military are still the power in Indonesia.

And you thought Indonesia was a democracy?

Farouk

On 10 february 2011, At Aljazeera, Dani Rodrik (The poverty of dictatorship) tells us:

1. Tunisia is ranked sixth among 135 countries in terms of improvement in its Human Development Index (HDI) over the last 40 years.

2. Egypt is ranked 14th.

The HDI measures health and education and economic growth.

3. At 74, Tunisia's life expectancy is higher than in countries such as Hungary.

The great majority of Egypt’s children are in school.

4. Political scientist Samuel Huntington wrote:

"social and economic change - urbanisation, increases in literacy and education, industrialisation, mass media expansion - extend political consciousness, multiply political demands and broaden political participation".

~~

So, what has been happening in Tunisia and Egypt is about the extension of political consciousness?

Or is something more sinister going on?


Moslem countries are places where you organise fake people power, and false flag ops, and wars. Website for this image

Samuel Huntington got his phrase 'clash of civilisations' from Bernard Lewis.

In 1990, Lewis wrote an essay entitled The Roots of Muslim Rage.

In this essay, Lewis argued that the struggle between the West and Islam was gathering strength.

The phrase "clash of civilizations", was first used by Lewis at a meeting in Washington in 1957. [14]

There has been speculation that Lewis, the intelligence services and people like Brzezinski want to make the Moslem world look bad, so that it can be more easily controlled and exploited.

Much of the world's oil lies in Moslem lands.

How do you make Moslems look bad?

You can finance the extremists and help them into power.

Lewis managed to get people to see Moslems, rather than Jews or Americans, as the problem?

Dick Cheney's friend, Bernard Lewis, was "perhaps the most significant intellectual influence behind the invasion of Iraq."(AEI's Weird Celebration)

Bernard Lewis, a Jew, helped to invent the West's new enemy, known as 'Islam'.

For the British, it was once the Jewish terrorists who were seen as being the enemy.

For the USA, it was once tiny Vietnam that was the enemy.

Professor Bernard Lewis has worked for British intelligence.(Bernard Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Bernard Lewis argues (Bernard Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) that the Middle East is backward due to its culture and religion.

The alternative view is that a country like Iraq is backward partly because of constant interference by countries such as Britain and the USA.

In his 1982 book Muslim Discovery of Europe, Lewis claims that "Crusader successes were due in no small part to Muslim weakness."

What Lewis does not make clear is that the Crusaders were barbarians and that they slaughtered innocent people wherever they went.

The Fourth Crusade invaded and conquered and looted the Christian city of Constantinople.

Lewis opposes the idea that Israel is a racist country.

He argues that Moslems behaved badly in the Algerian civil war (1992–98) and in the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88).

Lewis fails to point out that certain security services helped prevent democracy from taking place in Algeria in 1991. (aangirfan: Fake terror in Algeria; the US military in Algeria; oil ...)

Lewis fails to point out that many people believe that both Saddam and the Ayatollahs were put into power by the CIA. (aangirfan: Saddam worked for the CIA / aangirfan: The Ayatollahs and the CIA)

ISRAEL'S PLANS FOR EGYPT

Desert Girl

Egyptian girl by dvlazar



What does Israel really think about Egypt?



1. We suspect that Israel wants Egypt to be more fundamentalist, feudal, backward, weak and easy to control.



That should not be too difficult.



According to the Pew Research Center, Washington:



82% of Egyptian Moslems support the stoning of adulterers.



77% support amputations and whipping of thieves.



84% support the death sentence for apostasy.



http://pewglobal.org/files/2010/12/Pew-Global-Attitudes-Muslim-Report-FINAL-December-2-2010.pdf





Once Mubarak is toppled by the CIA-Mossad-NATO, Israel may again find an excuse to invade Egypt. Israel wants to control the Nile and the Suez Canal.



2. Does Israel want us to think it is frightened of the CIA's Muslim Brotherhood?



On 1 February 2011, Time magazine reports that "As the Egypt's Crisis Grows, So Do the Anxieties in Israel"



"Shlomo Avineri, a political scientist at Hebrew University... describes two possibilities:

"military rule, with or without Mubarak as figurehead,

"or 'chaos and disintegration' that ends with rule by Islamists and nationalists descended from Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's second President.



"Israelis most dread the ascent of the Muslim Brotherhood (who are linked to the Masons and the CIA - Aangirfan)....



"'What will not come to pass is ... a democratic neighbor, because democracies don't appear overnight,' Avineri tells TIME...



" U.S. diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks last year included diplomats' complaints that the Egyptian military continued to regard Israel as its principal enemy and prepared for war in the Sinai Desert, which lies between them."









3. Israel wants good relations with all its neighbours?



Think of Gaza, Lebanon, Turkey...



Egypt crisis: Israel faces danger in every direction



A comment on the above story at the UK Telegraph:



"Why murder Mabouh in Dubai? Why murder Sulieman in Syria? Why murder those nuclear scientists in Iran?



"...You murdered those Turkish activists on the Mavi Marmara..."




A Friendly Smile In Cairo

Cairo by El-Branden Brazil



4. What is the Israeli attitude to fundamentalist Islamic countries like Iran?



Israel supplied the Ayatollahs with weapons.



According Trita Parsi:[2]



Arms sales to Iran totaled an estimated $500 million from 1980 to 1983 according to the Jaffee Institute for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University.[3]



"According to Ahmad Haidari, "an Iranian arms dealer working for the Khomeini regime, roughly 80% of the weaponry bought by Tehran" immediately after the onset of the war originated in Israel. [4]



Arms shipments from the U.S. to Iran in the Iran-Contra Affair were facilitated by Israel.



Israel is reported to have supplied instructors and non-armaments help to Iran for the war effort.



Israel kept Iranian planes flying in spite of a lack of spares; and Israeli instructors taught Iranian commanders how to handle troops.



There were never less than about a 100 Israeli advisers and technicians in Iran at any time throughout the war, living in a carefully guarded and secluded camp just north of Tehran; they remained there even after the ceasefire.[8]



Recently declassified Pentagon documents reveal the 1980s operation called 'Tipped Kettle,' in which weapons stolen by Israel from the PLO in Lebanon were transferred to the Contras and to anti-American elements in Iran.



(The truth about Israel, Iran and 1980s U.S. arms deals - Haaretz ...)



El Caire, Egipte.

Cairo by JordiGP



5. On 1 February 2011, Winter Patriot (http://www.winterpatriot.com/) puts the Egyptian Revolution in Context

Among the points made:

1. Israel wants three things to come out of this conflict-



A pipeline transporting water from the Nile to Israel for their swimming pools.



Control of the Suez Canal, as it is a choke point for trade between Europe and Asia (read China) and



The break up of Egypt to remove it as a military force and as an economic ally of China



2. The Zionists want a land stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.

3. Mubarak recently stated outright that no Egyptian water would be delivered to Israel.



4. Israel was involved in the coup in Tunisia. Events in Tunisia increased pressure on Mubarak.

5. There already exists a pipeline delivering water from the Nile to Al Arish in the Sinai, forty kms from the Israeli border.

There is the possibility of a future Israeli invasion into Sinai and onto the Suez Canal.



Egypt by Joey Harrison

6. Israel intends to plant itself in the middle of the oil trade routes.

The pipelines to the ports of Haifa and Eilat together with the Suez canal are critical control points to choke off oil to China in the event of war.



7. The US and Israel are currently causing trouble for Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and now Egypt.

All these countries adjoin the strategic sea route of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Other countries on the Red Sea are Saudi Arabia, Eritrea and Djibouti. Can they expect the same? I think so.



8. In Egypt, the protesters are being set up as patsies.

The new "extreme" government will provide a cassus belli for war with Israel who will plead 'self defence', as they always do.



The resulting war and internal civil strife for Egypt will lead to it being broken up into at least two countries, Upper and Lower Egypt and weakening and impoverishing it in the process.

Old Egypt



9. The US, the UK through NATO together with Israel are past masters at Balkanising countries that have strategic importance to them.

The process impoverishes these countries through weakening their ability to resist the criminal trade in drugs and humans (incl body parts) that NATO sponsors.

Kosovo, for instance, is far worse off now than it ever was. As is every single country that has seen military intervention from the great liberators, US and NATO and the budding colonialists, Israel.

This fate awaits the people of Egypt. They will cease to be a military threat of any kind.

10. However the Globalists have had their failures.

They have failed to maintain control over Russia with the rise of Vladimir Putin. They failed in their invasion of Lebanon in 2006.

They have failed to overthrow and retake the governments of Venezeula, Bolivia and Equador.



Allen Pope during his trial in Jakarta, 28 December 1959

Some bloggers believe the Egyptian revolt has not been long planned by the CIA-Mossad-NATO.

These are the sort of people who cheered for Obama before he got elected.

These are the sort of people who have never heard of Allen Lawrence Pope and Operation Haik



Mubarak is very rich, but so is Dick Cheney.

And let's not forget $1.3 TRILLION dollar tax gift to the richest 43,000 multi-millionaires/billionaires in the U.S.A.

Some figures (Egypt.):

1. Between 1980 and 2007 Egypt’s Human Development Index (HDI) rose 42%.

2. Egypt’s average annual HDI growth was 10th fastest worldwide and almost double the global average.

3. Between 2005 & 2008 Poverty, as defined by those living under $2/day, fell over 11%

4. Only 16% of the population now live on less than $2 per day.

5. The Gini Index, the international measure of wealth inequality, fell 7% between 1999 & 2007.

6. The share of the poorest 10% in national income rose 5% and the share of richest 10% feel 6% in the same period.

The ratio of the wealth of the richest to the poorest 10% also fell 10%.

WHO CONTROLS THE EGYPTIAN MILITARY? HISTORY OF MANIPULATION

US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen is greeted by Egyptian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Sami Enan in Cairo on 14 February 2010. Mullen was on a weeklong tour of the region.



1. It would appear that the Egyptian military is taking its orders from Washington.



The military's "displays of support for the protesters were conspicuous throughout the capital.



"In the most striking example, four armored military vehicles moved at the front of a crowd of thousands of protesters in a pitched battle against the Egyptian security police defending the Interior Ministry." (Egyptian Military Does Little to Quash Protests)

Cairo by daniel.gene



When the CIA toppled Indonesia's Suharto it had the support of the key American-trained generals. (aangirfan: STAGED BY SPOOKS: FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL, ORANGE ... )



These Indonesian generals got their soldiers to dress up as students in order to carry out the rioting; the military transported criminal gangs into Jakarta; youths were paid to act as rioters.



When the May 1998 Jakarta riots took place, the uniformed military were invisible.



The tanks only appeared after the president had been fatally weakened.

2. Parts of Egypt are peaceful.



The organisers of the riots have concentrated on a relatively few key spots.



"The situation in the Red Sea resorts remain(s) calm."



Similarly, in Jakarta in May 1998, the military only had the resources to organise rioting in a few key areas of the city. (aangirfan: STAGED BY SPOOKS: FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL, ORANGE ... )

3. On 30 January 2011 we learn that Israel is denying reports of Israeli commandoes in Cairo to help topple Mubarak



Israel sees Egypt as its main Arab enemy. (WHAT THE USA AND ISRAEL REALLY THINK ABOUT EGYPT)



The Iranian media has reported that Israeli secret agents and Commandos are among the protestors and that they are deliberately creating riots and preventing the city from returning to order.



According to the Iranians, Egypt's Vice-President Suleiman is working for Israel.

On 29 January 2011, Hamad Subani wrote: "Tunisia & Egypt: Manufactured Crisis? "



Hamad Subani looks at some history:



1. During World War I, it was the British who organised the Arab revolts.



The British did this in order to break up the Turkish Ottoman Empire, which controlled most of the Middle East.



(This Turkish empire included Palestine and oil rich Iraq, both of which certain British leaders wanted to control.)



2. The Western powers decided which families were to be the nominal rulers of the Arab countries.



"The rulers of Jordan now exclusively marry into Western ruling elite. Libya has ... close secret ties with the British ruling elite."



(There is a suggestion of a link to Lockerbie -Are Tunisia and Egypt facing real unrest or a manufactured crisis? )



3. The present unrest "is very region-specific.



"It does not seem to be spreading to places ... which are already under the thumb of the Powers That Be."



4. "There is the case of German/Swedish snipers/hunters being caught in Tunisia."



5. "The Western media appears to be magnifying the crisis."

6. "Mohamed ElBaradei is already being touted as a new leader for Egypt.



"ElBaradei is a trustee of the International Crisis Group.



"Another board member of this group is Zbigniew Brzezinski.



"George Soros sits on the executive committee."



Beautiful Alexandria.

7. The Iranian Revolution of 1970 was "on the lines of an Islamicized French Revolution (mob rule, executions, secret courts, destruction and displacement of the former ruling class etc.)



"The revolutionaries managed to create a powerful police state that now spearheads the clash of civilizations rhetoric prescribed by the Powers That Be.



"The secret ties of the Western ruling elite with some of the revolutionaries has been documented."



Little did Mossadegh and the Shah know that "the Powers That Be saw them only as temporary placeholders until Iran was consolidated under a new regime that was to play a critical role in advancing the 'Clash of Civilizations' agenda."



Reza Shah "turned over the police, intelligence and economic affairs of his country to his Western 'friends' who promptly set out to use them to create the conditions necessary for the revolution..." (See also: aangirfan: The Shah of Iran was toppled by the CIA and MI6?)

8. In 1970, 'an opportunist', Anwar Sadat, became President of Egypt.



In 1977, Sadat 'naively' opened up Egypt’s economy to the West.



"The World Bank moved in, insisting that he remove subsidies on food...



"What followed were the Bread Riots in which 800 Egyptians were killed and Sadat was almost overthrown..."



Sadat was assassinated in 1981.



"There were certain secretive and shadowy elements who coordinated the assassination..."

CAIRO BOMB; CIA & MOSSAD TRYING TO TOPPLE MUBARAK?

Pinhas Lavon and Golda Meir. The Lavon Affair was an Israeli covert operation in Egypt, known as Operation Susannah, in which Israeli military intelligence planted bombs in Egyptian, American and British-owned targets in Egypt in the summer of 1954 in the hopes that "the Muslim Brotherhood, the Communists, 'unspecified malcontents' or 'local nationalists'" would be blamed.[1] It became known as the Lavon Affair after the Israeli defense minister Pinhas Lavon, who was forced to resign because of the incident. Israel admitted responsibility in 2005 when Israeli President Moshe Katzav honored the nine Egyptian Jewish agents who were involved.[2]


1. There is a suspicion that the CIA and Mossad want to topple Egypt's President Mubarak.

A. Ian Bremmer, at Foreign Policy, 23 February 2009, writes that "Mubarak wants Obama to recognize that he will not play the role of America's obedient servant. When Washington applies pressure, Egypt can and will say no." (Mubarak flexes his muscles)

B. According to a recent U.S. National Intelligence Council report, "Mubarak is getting older and no longer has the energy to provide the leadership he once did," - US report: Saudis replacing Egypt as regional leader

C. Mubarak and Netanyahu do not like each other. (Egypt has bad memories of Netanyahu)

2. On 22 February 2009, in Cairo, a bomb exploded outside a mosque.

The blast ripped through a street lined with cafes and restaurants in Khan al-Khalili, a market that is one of Cairo's main tourist attractions.

"The blast killed a French teenager and wounded 25 people, most of them tourists." (Suspects detained in Cairo blast)

"Blood stained the stones in front of the mosque, where worshipers had been conducting evening prayers." (Cairo plaza struck by fatal blast)

According to Reuters, at least one device exploded after being thrown from a motorcycle. (Bomb detonated in crowded Cairo tourist area).

Earlier reports had said bombs were planted under a seat near a cafe just outside the al-Hussein Hotel.(Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Three arrested over Cairo bombing).

Egyptian state news agency MENA, quoting eyewitnesses, said the devices were thrown from the roof of a nearby hotel. (Two foreigners among four dead in Cairo bomb attack)

"We stood next to the bench where a bomb would explode 20 minutes later." - Eyewitness: Cairo blast

"I saw a beggar. ... The beggar was terribly injured and he had definitely died. I saw his body thrown [about 13 feet] into the air." EGYPT: Cairo bomb witness recalls terrifying scene

The attack was the first deadly violence against Westerners in Egypt since 2006. As yet there has been no claim of responsibility.

Terror attacks in the past have been the work of Mossad and its friends.

3. In the Lavon affair, 1954, Israeli agents planted bombs in several buildings in Egypt, and left evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits.

One of the bombs detonated prematurely. The Egyptians captured one of the bombers and rounded up the Israeli spy ring. (aangirfan: Dahab, King David, Lavon...)

4. According to one press report (Egypt blast fuels speculation):

On the streets around the site of Sunday’s attack ... many blamed Israel.

"I think Israel did it this time to harm the Egyptian tourism industry, which is like the blood that moves the country," said Mohsin al-Hindawi, 53, who sells traditional Egyptian robes to tourists.

"No Egyptian Muslim or Christian would do something like this in a sacred place like Hussein Square," he said.

"Mark my words, the Israelis are behind it. It takes a lot of dollars to carry out these attacks."
Mustafa al-Hinawi, the 45-year-old owner of a perfume shop nearby, agreed.


"Israel did this because they are passing through a phase of instability and they want to harm Egypt’s peace and security by hitting our tourism," he told dpa.







The March 2009 edition of National Geographic has an article about terrorism in Egypt.

Did the spooky people at National Geographic know in advance about the Cairo bombing?

The USA is not happy with Mubarak.

According to Joel Beinin ( It's the Empire, Stupid ), on 21 February 2008:

"In an uncharacteristically blunt criticism of the regime of President Husni Mubarak, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on February 13 that, "we have not been satisfied with Egypt's efforts" to control smuggling of weapons into Gaza through the tunnels under the border.

"Voices in and around the Israeli government have been beating the drums for a full-fledged invasion and reoccupation of the Gaza Strip as the only solution to this and other security problems."Is the CIA going to use the Muslim Brotherhood to topple Mubarak? - Egypt's Opposition to Run in Elections

The Muslim Brotherhood, in 2005, won 88 seats in the lower house of parliament and became the country's largest opposition bloc.


The Muslim Brother is suspected by some of being a tool of the CIA and MI6. (aangirfan: The use of the Muslim Brotherhood by MI6 and the CIA in ... / aangirfan: The use of militant Moslems in Russia, China, India ...)

Sinai is part of Egypt. But Israel would like it to be part of Greater Israel.


Many tourists are now going to the Red Sea Riviera, in Egypt's Sinai.

The Sinai, which includes Sharm el Sheikh, is now Egypt's top tourism destination.

The problem is that the Bedouin, the largest group who live in the Sinai, have been treated badly by the Cairo government.

The Bedouin feel that Cairo has treated them in the same racist way that the Israelis have treated the Palestinians.

The Bedouin feel that their grazing grounds have been stolen to make way for hotels owned by people from Cairo.

The Bedouin have seen their camps and homes bulldozed by the rich guys from the capital.

And Israel may trick some of the Bedouin into involvement in acts of terrorism.

Israel would like the Sinai to become part of Greater Israel.





Matthew Teague, in the National Geographic, March 2009, National Geographic Magazine - NGM.com, reminds us that this area has seen several recent wars.

There were wars involving Israel and Egypt in 1956, 1967, and 1973.

Israel took over the Sinai in 1973, following the Six Day War.

Some of the Bedouin say they were treated better by the Israelis than by the folks from Cairo.

In 1979 Egypt and Israel signed a peace deal, and tourism was able to develop in the Sinai, to the advantage of the folks from Cairo and to the disadvantage of the Bedouin.

Reportedly, in 2002, a young dentist called Khalid Al Masaid formed Tawhid wa Jihad, Unity and Holy War.

Reportedly, in the spring of 2004, Iyad Salah, a follower of the dentist Al Masaid, had recruited a small group of conspirators.

In 2004 there were 'terrorist' attacks in TABA.

In 2005, there were 'terrorist' attacks in the area of Sharm el Sheikh.

In 2006, there were 'terrorist' attacks in the area of Dahab.

Greater Israel is to include the Sinai

Retired General Salah al-Din Salim, an Egyptian researcher at the Strategic Studies Institute in Cairo, said that it could not be ruled out that the Israeli Mossad was involved in the terror attack in Dahab.

"The Mossad's ability to penetrate the Bedouins in Sinai is known," Salim said in an interview with al-Jazeera. (Egyptian analyst: Can't rule out that Mossad was involved in ...)

Dr. Abdallah Al-Ash'al , former assistant to the Egyptian foreign minister and lecturer on international law at Cairo University , was quoted on the internet site http://www.islamonline.net/: "All of the signs indicate that Israeli hands were [behind the attacks]. The area is close to Israel, and Israel was the first to warn its citizens not to go to Sinai…" [5]

In the Egyptian Weekly Nahdat Misr, Dr. Abdallah Al-Ash'al said that Israel "is interested in embarrassing Egypt and in hurting Egyptian tourism, just as the Palestinian Intifada hurt Israeli tourism… It is in Israel's interest that there be an Egyptian response to what happened, since it wants Egypt to join the American campaign against terrorism… It is likely that Israel recruited some people in coordination with terrorist groups in order to hurt Egypt… Israel's goal in this operation was to bring terrorism back to Egypt…" [6]

General Fuad Allam , former deputy head of the Egyptian state security service , said to Nahdat Misr : "None of the suspects in these bombings – whether Egypt, Palestine, or Al-Qa'ida – have anything to gain [from carrying out the bombings], except for Israel. All of the evidence points to the conclusion that the Israeli Mossad is the first and last to gain from this operation… As for the Palestinian factions, no one suspects that they were involved in this incident – except for Israel, which accuses them – unless the Mossad got one of these factions involved [in carrying out the attacks]." [7]

Muhammad Abd Al-Fattah Omar , former assistant to the Egyptian interior minister , said to http://www.islamonline.net/: "For every action we need to search first for who stands to gain from it… Israel is the only one who benefits from these explosions. This is due to the fact that the only two [elements] that can enter the area with ease are the Israelis and their agents… The Israeli right was going through a crisis as a result of the American pressure on Sharon, after the veto that America cast [at the U.N.] to save Israel from the proposal to condemn it for the massacres it is conducting against the Palestinians in Gaza. [Israel] had no choice but to undertake an action that would ease the American pressure on the area and would put the ball in the Americans' court, at least until the elections…" [8]

Dr. Dhiaa Rashwan, from the Egyptian Al-Ahram newspaper's Center for Diplomatic and Strategic Studies , said: "The events in Sinai were not planned by Islamists, neither Egyptian nor Al-Qa'ida… The one who gained the most from this operation was Israel, and the one who was hurt most was Egypt. In Taba there is no population from which an Islamist movement could spring, it has only tourists and security forces, and thus there is no Islamist activity in this sensitive region. In addition, the intensive security presence prevents the importing of such huge quantities of explosives…

"This operation is the [work] of a security apparatus, or else was carried out in cooperation with a major security apparatus, and the one who gained the most was Israel, and thus one should attribute [the operation] to Israel. For the Israeli security [apparatuses] it is easy to carry out an operation on lands adjacent to its borders and then to retreat into Israel, whereas it would be difficult for it to carry out such a thing deep in Egyptian lands."

The National Geographic appears to have become the mouthpiece of the CIA.

Just before 9 11, the National geographic was preparing maps and an article on Afghanistan.

If you want to know which countries the Pentagon is about to invade, look at the National Geographic.

The edition of the magazine, dated November 2004, has an article on the Geography of Terror. The article, written by Walter Laqueur who recently retired from the Kissinger Chair at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, seems full of obvious disinformation.

The article refers to a number of countries:

Ireland – the article fails to mention US financing of terror groups, and the allegation that most of the worst incidents were the work of the UK security services.

Europe – the article fails to mention the CIA links to the terror which hit Italy in the 1980s. Remember the bombs in railway stations that ‘were the work of fascist groups with CIA connections’.

Indonesia – the article fails to mention (1) the CIA terror used to topple President Sukarno and then President Suharto (2) the US training of the generals who have been associated with terror in East Timor, the Spice Islands and elsewhere (3) the links between the US trained Indonesian military and ‘Moslem’ terror groups such as Laskar Jihad (4) the alleged involvement of the Indonesian military in the Bali bomb.

Palestine – the article does not make it clear that (1) the Palestinians were driven from their land by Jewish terrorist groups (2) the Israelis initially aided Hamas in order to weaken Arafat (3) the USA supports Israel in its occupation of Palestinian land and defiance of UN resolutions and in its possession of weapons of mass destruction.

Iraq – the article fails to mention the body of evidence that Saddam was a CIA agent and was put into power by the USA.

Al Qaeda – the article promotes the myth of al Qaeda. It fails to mention (1) the bin Laden links to the Bush family (2) bin Laden’s Jewish mother (3) bin Laden’s death in December 2001 (4) the controlled explosions that brought down the Twin Towers on 9 11 (5) the training of the alleged hijackers at US military bases.

The National Geographic is supposed to be about geography. But what do we get? We get endless stuff about:

Archaeology – particularly in the Mayan world.

History.

Biology – particularly fish and apes.

Astronomy

The articles are written in a strange style. The authors like to sound clever and literary but often they simply obscure the meaning of what they are trying to say.

The layout of text and photos also tries to be clever, but ends up being clumsy, like an american automobile.

Who advertises in the National Geographic? We get adverts for the sort of posh watches and posh cars which I could never afford.
