Blair loog om oorlog te kunnen voeren tegen Irak - 2

Door Daan de Wit
Niet alleen maakte Blair bij het voorliegen van zijn bevolking gebruik van de misleidende diensten van Donald Rumsfelds geheime dienst OSP [zie dit artikel van DeepJournal], Blair heeft een soortgelijke dienst, de Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). De JIC zou van informatie zijn voorzien door Operatie Rockingham en de Britse geheime dienst MI6. Dit onthult de Sunday Herald.

'BRITAIN ran a covert 'dirty tricks' operation designed specifically to produce misleading intelligence that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction to give the UK a justifiable excuse to wage war on Iraq. Operation Rockingham, established by the Defence Intelligence Staff within the Ministry of Defence in 1991, was set up to 'cherry-pick' intelligence proving an active Iraqi WMD programme and to ignore and quash intelligence which indicated that Saddam's stockpiles had been destroyed or wound down', schrijft de Sunday Herald. De recente onthullingen komen na de beschuldigingen van Blair aan het adres van zijn spionnen. Misschien was Blair niet aanwezig bij les één van de cursus staatsman, hoe dan ook, het beschuldigen van je eigen geheime diensten is niet echt slim te noemen.

Het systeem achter de leugens
'The existence of Operation Rockingham has been confirmed by Scott Ritter, the former UN chief weapons inspector, and a US [CIA] military intelligence officer. He knew members of the Operation Rockingham team and described the unit as 'dangerous', but insisted they were not 'rogue agents' acting without government backing. 'This policy was coming from the very highest levels,' he added. 'Rockingham was spinning reports and emphasising reports that showed non-compliance (by Iraq with UN inspections) and quashing those which showed compliance. It was cherry-picking intelligence.' Ritter and other intelligence sources say Operation Rockingham and MI6 were supplying skewed information to the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) which, Tony Blair has told the Commons, was behind the intelligence dossiers that the government published to convince the parliament and the people of the necessity of war against Iraq', schrijft de Sunday Herald. [Nagekomen bericht van 1 mei 2005: 'The secret Downing Street memo' komt boven water, waarin staat hoe Blair in juli 2002 wordt verteld dat door de Amerikanen 'the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy'. Desalniettemin bleef Blair bleef met Bush in de leugens volharden. Lees er alles over in dit artikel van DeepJournal].

Spionnen: Dit is de wereld van George Orwell
'In a staggering attack on the OSP, former CIA officer Larry Johnson told the Sunday Herald the OSP was 'dangerous for US national security and a threat to world peace', adding that it 'lied and manipulated intelligence to further its agenda of removing Saddam'. He added: 'It's a group of ideologues with pre-determined notions of truth and reality. They take bits of intelligence to support their agenda and ignore anything contrary. They should be eliminated.' Johnson said that to describe Saddam as an 'imminent threat' to the West was 'laughable and idiotic'. He said many CIA officers were in 'great distress' over the way intelligence had been treated. 'We've entered the world of George Orwell,' Johnson added. 'I'm disgusted. The truth has to be told. We can't allow our leaders to use bogus information to justify war.'

Leugens en bedrog om ware motieven te maskeren
Ook in de VS pakken de geheime diensten de leiders terug. Uit de NRC van zaterdag j.l. [zie ook dit Sunday Herald-artikel]: '[Volgens] een naar de media uitgelekt Amerikaans [DIA] defensierapport [...] dat in september 2002 onder de regering van George Bush werd verspreid, bestond er op dat moment "geen betrouwbare informatie" waaruit bleek dat Irak daadwerkelijk in het bezit was van chemische, biologische of kernwapens.' '“I am absolutely convinced that with time, we’ll find out they did have a weapons program"', aldus Bush gisteren in een artikel van MSNBC. '[... De] reden waarom de Amerikanen er zo zeker van waren dat Irak op zijn minst nog grondstoffen en onderdelen voor massavernietigingswapens bezit [is omdat] Amerikaanse concerns, universiteiten en politici, onder wie Bush senior zelf, betrokken waren geweest bij de wapenhandel met Saddam', schrijft Stan van Houcke in de Humanist van deze maand. 'Vandaar ook dat de regering Bush meer dan 3000 pagina's verwijderde [8000 pagina's volgens de Sunday Herald] uit het 12.200 pagina's tellend wapenrapport dat Irak aan de Verenigde naties overlegde. Pas daarna kregen de niet-permanente leden van de Veiligheidsraad het rapport in handen.' Het hele Humanist-artikel (PDF) gaat over olie als motief voor de oorlog met Irak.

Welk land is nu aan de beurt?
Tekenaar Kamagurka laat George W. Bush in een tekening (5 juni) zeggen: 'Okee, Irak binnenvallen was wat overdreven. Maar wat Noord-Korea betreft...'. Het is moeilijk te zeggen wie het volgende slachtoffer wordt van de strijd om de olie en het Pax Americana. Syrië is een goede kandidaat zoals we eerder schreven, maar nu de Amerikanen Saoedie-Arabië gaan verlaten kan het vanuit de nieuwe Amerikaanse positie in Irak makkelijk een slachtoffer worden van destabilisatiepogingen. Misschien is de destabiliserende bomaanslag in de Saudische hoofdstad Riyad een stabilisatiepoging van de Saudische geheime dienst om zo het land uit verdachte kamp te halen. En Noord-Korea blijft natuurlijk een kandidaat. Alle landen op de lijst van Bush worden voortdurend geprikt en iedereen blijft op zijn qui vive, in afwachting van de val van het zwaard.

Interview financial expert: more expensive, less to spend, riots in the streets

You have to figure on riots and rebellions taking place, especially in the big cities. Some countries may see revolutions, the Mediterranean countries in particular. At that point government buildings could be set on fire and government employees attacked. You have to consider these kinds of scenarios. In any crisis situation you're going to have people who revolt. In order to see what can happen in a crisis situation we have only to look at what happened in Argentina. People went from being middle class one day to finding themselves below the poverty line the next.

'Credit crisis caused by fighting wars and short-term vision'

What we now have is stagflation - stagnation versus inflation. And where we'll soon find ourselves is hyperinflation. [...] Keynes' idea was that if you go into debt, you have to pay it off in good time. It was never his intention to say, 'We've gone into debt, and as long as everything's okay we'll go deeper into debt'. [...] This paper money then went into circulation, and the gold was used as backing for the weapons industry, at which point an arms race started first between France and Germany, followed later on by all other Western countries.

'Buy gold, rent a house and in the end move to a warm country': financial expert

I've already hedged my own capital by putting 10% of it into gold. I've already transferred my pension into raw materials and raw material shares. I sold my house in 2002, and I've been renting since then. As far as pension funds go, we're currently advising that a minumum of 10% of pension assets be put into gold.
