FBI documents on "5 dancing Israelis"

Someone has used FOIA to obtain the FBI documents for their investigation into the infamous "5 dancing Israelis" of 911, often supposed by conspiracists to be direct evidence of Israeli responsibility, an 'inside job', whatever.

The documents are available via a blogpost, here. The website is called, Zionism Stinks. At least they proclaim their bias, eh?

Read the entire document as I did (500 pages of forms) and one is left with the near-certainty that there's absolutely nothing to this story. Absolutely nothing.

The real story is how such a paucity of cause has led to 10 years of suspicion, and direct claims of Israeli-state involvement. Ridiculous.

I can only see the whole thing as an illustration of prejudice. How else to explain 10 years of claims about (Jewish/Israeli) conspiracy? The documents simply do not provide any justification for it.

People like Rivero use people like Ryan Dawson to make outrageous claims, all to serve an anti-semitic and conspiracist agenda. People like Ryan Dawson bleat that they aren't anti-semitic, yet they embrace and promote people such as Mike Rivero, and sources and audiences such as WhatReallyHappened.com

The fact is, the far-right seek to discredit and undermine confidence in the democratic-liberal state, whilst simultaneously blaming Jews for it. They make use of whomever and whatever they can.

This "dancing Israeli" rubbish is just one vector for the process.

Of course "Israeli" doesn't quite strictly mean "Jew", but it's close enough for the anti-semite. That's the value of people like Ryan Dawson to Rivero - Dawson doesn't have to say "JEW", Rivero can say it, and each of their audiences understands what is meant anyway. Who doesn't? To illustrate:

Dawson writes explicitly that "911 was the Mossad." Attempting to innoculate himself from charges of anti-semitism, he adds: "Understand that Israel is not Jewish people OK please get that through your warped heads."

(Why does he think every reader's head is warped?)

So, 'Israel is not Jewish people'? Ok. But then what race and religion is he referring to here when he expounds on the real perps:

[Mossad]is not an Israeli intelligence agency per say it is a terrorist agency for the military industrial complex which feeds off of the hatred of the bigots and useful idiots concentrated in Israel. The US and Israel are not really different countries in a way. The US and Israeli agencies and their Neocon governments work for their own interests and those interests are guided by a racist, political ideology mixed up with a fascist version of a religion and Straussian philosophy.

Sorry, but the carefully avoided word there is "JEW" - in both the religious and ethnic senses. If they are guided by racism, then what race is meant if not Jew? And likewise the 'fascist religion' - what does that mean if not Judaism? It's disingenuous of Dawson to claim he doesn't target Jews or Judaism - he clearly does - but in a convoluted fashion.

This is how "dancing Israelis" becomes anti-semitism.

I noted previously how Dawson had turned the "dancing Israeli" story from myth and conjecture into solid fact. He claims:

"individuals were caught on 911 with explosives.....and worked for an intelligence agency of a foreign country that benefited from 911.....and lied about Anthrax, the war and everything that followed it..."

Mossad and Israel....which according to Dawson supposedly run America for their own interests - ie of the Jewish race and the Jewish religion.

The utility of this to the anti-semitic far-right is obvious and seems the most likely reason for Rivero's patronage and promotion of Dawson.

But check the actual FBI documents and there is absolutely no reason to imagine the 'dancing' Israelis were Mossad agents. They're a bunch of punks, at least one of which was found in possession of a hash bong-pipe (illegal). They were working for a boss who purposefully employed illegals so as to underpay them and to avoid payroll taxes - and whom one employee described to the FBI as "a crook". Another interviewee described one of the supposed perps as "a clown" and incapable of involvement in 911. Moreover, none of the photos the 'dancers' took showed the WTC before the first plane had hit. They, along with the rest of NewYork, only took an interest in the WTC after the first plane had hit and the building began burning/smoking.

The FBI (seemingly perfectly appropriately) concluded there was no reason whatsoever to imagine these people were involved and so handed jurisdiction to the INS (because of visa expiry issues) before their subsequent deportation. There seems to be absolutely nothing in any of it re 911, Mossad, inside-job, explosives, truck-bombs.......NOTHING.

Yet in the hands of 'the Real 911 Troof movement" - such as Dawson and Rivero - this non-story becomes the foundation of a vast anti-semitic tale of unchecked Israeli and Mossad subversion of America explaining everything from the Anthrax attacks to the banking crisis, the Iraq war and most everything else.

Even as Dawson claims he doesn't target Jews or Judaism, he clearly does. Moreover, his work (outrageous unsupported cconspiracism) is promoted by anti-semites such as Rivero, with Dawson's full consent and support. Dawson even stated he was 'happy to get the traffic' when David Duke promoted him.

When the ADL (accurately) criticise such people for using their outrageous unfounded claims to promote anti-semitic conspiracism, Dawson & Rivero et al just add the ADL to the conspiracy, and flat-out deny the charges (which they nevertheless feel a need to misrepresent rather than properly address).

911 conspiracy is the biggest lot of rot I have ever come across. It is no surprise that in 10 years 'the movement' has produced nothing of substance and has gained no traction, crackpots notwithstanding. What a waste of 10 years.

ADL criticise Ryan Dawson

The ADL have criticised 911 Troof conspiracism, including Ryan Dawson, AKA Rys2Sense.

Dawson responded in an open letter thus:

It seems to me that the ADL wants to quickly paint questioning 911 as akin to racism in order to prevent investigation.

Dawson says this even though in his own most recent video he himself criticises the presence of Joooo obsessed Troofers in his 'movement' - including people promoting William Pierce's National Alliance and "jew this, jew that".

So Dawson's own video vindicates the general point of the ADL's criticism of 911 Troof.

But anyway, WhatReallyHappened linked to a website carrying the ADL's criticism of 911 Truth and Ryan Dawson. The website is called 'theinfounderground', the specific page is here.

Ryan Dawson's letter appears in a thread introduced as "ADL goes after Ryan Dawson and Mike Delany".

Folowwing the letter, there are some revealing responses. The first:

Fuck the ADL
We support our 2 friends

Word for Word truth from our 2 friends

Friends? Third response:

Yeah... I guess our buddies Mike D. and Ryan D. are "capturing" the younger generation to a degree...their Anti-Jew Scam videos on 9/11 must have hit a "magic" number... ADL Scam J'Tards always fear the next generation is going give them the boot!

Buddies? Their Anti-Jew Scam videos on 911?

This is right after Dawson's letter in which he is claiming his 'movement' is not anti-semitic, and that the ADL uses criticism of anti-semitism as a means to protect Israel!

Well, Dawson is either ignorant of his precious 'movement' or he is being dishonest about its (anti-semitic) character.

A later entry in the thread links another page elsewhere but which was also directly linked to from WhatReallyHappened. At this page the first lines read:

"Being labeled an "anti-Semite" is an honor these days. All it means is someone who is against the Jewish criminal gang that dominates the global power structure."
SOURCE

The old anti-semite as hero malarkey.

This was linked to from a site of which Ryan Dawson is a member - WhatReallyHappened.com. Dawson and the webmaster Mike Rivero seem pretty chummy, they've long been promoting each other, now they're calling themselves "the real truth movement" yada yada.

But Dawson isn't an anti-semite.....and his movement isn't either. So he says.

Well, what about WhatReallyHappened.com linking direct to these clearly anti-semitic places and them treating Ryan Dawson as a friend and buddy? These people are yanking the chain on anti-semitism.......yet they consider Ryan 'anti-racist' Dawson a friend!

Peculiar.

According to Dawson, himself and Rivero are 'the real Truth movement'.

Whilst Dawson is opining about how 911 Troof is not anti-semitic we have his ally Rivero linking to all sorts of crud and proving that it most certainly is anti-semitic.

And these people - Rivero and Dawson - are supposedly "allies"?

Hardly makes sense, does it?

Seems they say the same things, except Dawson denies anti-semitism whilst Rivero promotes it.

Rys2Sense - a slowly evolving consciousness?

Rys2Sense aka Ryan Dawson webmaster of anti-neocons.com has a new video. For once there's a novelty - at least a few minutes of genuine interest.

Somewhere in the middle of this video Ryan Dawson seems finally to be properly recognising some of the problems with Troofiness, anti-semitism and the far-right.

Nevertheless he immediately switches back to claiming Israel did 911, and Zionism this, and Zionism that, rah rah rah. But for a few moments he seems to be actually beginning to distinguish racism, anti-semitism and the presence of the far-right within what he calls "the movement" (911 Troof Movement). He even mentions people saying "jew this, jew that". (What about Zionist this, Zionist that? Doh!)

It will be interesting to see what sort of response he gets. I suspect he seriously underestimates the influence of fascism on 911 Troof and his audience. One example - he claims himself, Sibel Edmonds and Rivero are 'the real truth movement'.

It's quite astonishing for him to say such a thing considering his video and the criticism of racism in "the movement". Likewise when one sees him responding in the comments thread over at WhatReallyHappened, surrounded by obvious and blatant anti-semitism conjured for the purpose of exploitation.....by Rivero.

What are the comments of a supposed 'anti-racist' like Ryan Dawson doing amongst the anti-semitism of WhatReallyHappened? Why does Dawson think Rivero attracts such people? Can't he see it? Can't he see how absurd it looks to be found amongst that crowd - saying what they do - at the same time he's criticising racism within 'the movement' in his video?

But not only has Ryan Dawson been amongst such people for years he even claims Rivero/WRH is "the real 911 Truth Movement".

Oh, so it must be just bad luck that Rivero attracts the audience he does. And it's just blind chance that Ryan Dawson is to be found amomgst them, sharing much of the same audience. It's got nothing to do with people actually digging the Jew-bashing.......? It's got nothing to do with the fact their content attracts the far-right, racists and anti-semites? Sure.

In the video Dawson relates some tale about getting a little too mixed-up with people into William Pierce. To his credit he disowns them. However, Dawson doesn't seem to quite understand the issue - how is it he is getting too close to such people in the first place? They're your audience Ryan......that's Rivero's audience, his friends and colleagues, his fellow-travellers. It isn't LUCK.

I mean, does he understand Rivero or even his own audience? Doesn't he read what Rivero writes? Doesn't he read the comments from his fellow WRH members? Doesn't he see the comments at YouTube and at his website when he posts stupid Holocaust denial videos? Does he not pick-up the far-right agenda and memes running throughout his own website forum?

Perhaps he's beginning to notice. I sense something a little changed in his consciousness and I can only imagine it will develop, especially now he's mentioning the problem. What will his audience say? How will his beloved Troof Movement respond? It can surely only confirm what appears to be his emerging, more conscious thoughts.

Here's the vid, dated Sept 10th, 2011:


It's worth comparing his position on the video with the article and comments he responded to at WRH on the same day. [Go to bottom of entry for Dawson and others' comments.] Example:

We know WHO did 9/11.

9/11 was jews.
9/11 was Israel.
9/11 was zionists.

How many rats have to carry the plague, before you start exterminating rats?

Anti-semitic? You betcha. If you're not anti-semitic, my question to you is; WHY NOT?

Ryan Dawson hasn't quite got his eyes open yet, has he? He's got a way to go.

I wonder how much of an audience he will have left if he continues pursuing these themes and developing his consciousness so. Interesting to watch what will happen.

----------

Lots of things to complain about in the video. Taking just one - he says "individuals were caught on 911 with explosives.....and worked for an intelligence agency of a foreign country that benefited from 911.....and lied about Anthrax, the war and everything that followed it..."

ISRAEL!!! TADA!!!!

Surprise?

But who was found with explosives? And did they work for Mossad, or some such? It isn't as simple as Ryan Dawson believes. Not at all.

Does he seriously think an operation to demolish the twin towers was setup just that morning? They only just finished rigging the demolition early that day hence they were driving around NYC in a van of explosives on 911.....? Seriously?

Anyway, here's an excellent page debunking this story.

Troofers and haters quote the original news sources from 911, but never the corrections which followed a few minutes later. The corrections added that contrary to earlier reports the trucks DID NOT contain explosives. Apart from that, there's nothing else to the story.

Dawson not only claims rumours from the day as fact (truck-bomb attack against Washington Bridge), he mixes up the story with another about "the 5 dancing Israelis". The 5 dancing Israelis suddenly become the truck-bombers......and as they simply must work for MOSSAD then for Dawson the whole story of 911, Anthrax and 'the wars' explains itself. Zionism!!! Dun Dun Dun!!! Surprised, right?

That's how these Troofers roll.......

Oh, and I can't comment directly on RyanDawson's YouTube video because I am still banned - he refuses to allow me to post. Troof.

The New Anti-semitism - WRH 2011 style

WRH's Rivero gives his whole game away early on:

So now comes the ADL once more screaming "Anti-Semitism" at anyone questioning the official story of 9-11, even if the question in particular does not involve Israel!

The simple fact is that anti-semitism need have nothing to do with Israel. The cynical anti-semite's favourite defence is to claim there's a real distinction between anti-semitism and anti-Zionism. Now Rivero's complaining the ADL mentions anti-semitism without anyone referencing Israel. Well, indeed, Mr Rivero - it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it: anti-semitism exists aside from Israel.

That one sentence seriously undermines Rivero's entire spiel. But he uses it as his foundation. Rivero wants to attack Jews and the ADL (as defenders of Jews, presumably). He wants to pin the blame for 911 on Jews. It's done in a very particular way - it's propaganda. Screw me trying to analyse it...just look at it out of context a little. Here's Rivero's version of anti-semitism, as seen by the ADL:

Researcher: "Why did BBC report the collapse of World Trade Tower 7 twenty six minutes before it happened?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!"

But there's clearly nothing anti-semitic about simply mentioning that story by the BBC and nobody would ever complain there was.

Researcher: "How did the Secret Service know that President Bush was safe where he sat reading about pet goats?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!"

But there's clearly nothing anti-semitic about saying that and nobody would ever complain there was.

Researcher: "How could the hijacked planes fly over 8 United States Air Force bases without having a single warplane come up to intercept them?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!"

But there's clearly nothing anti-semitic about saying that and nobody would ever complain there was.

Researcher: "Who ordered the fighters from Andrews Air Force Base 180 miles out into the Atlantic making it impossible for them to intercept the aircraft headed for the Pentagon?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!"

But there's clearly nothing anti-semitic about saying that and nobody would ever complain there was.

I know this is getting boring already, but blame Rivero/WRH.

Researcher: "What order did Dick Cheney let stand, according to Norman Mineta?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!"

But there's clearly nothing anti-semitic about saying that.........

Researcher: "Why do load-bearing beams in the ruins of the World Trade Towers show clear signs of demolition charges?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!

But there's clearly nothing anti-semitic about saying that.........

Researcher: "How can the wreckage from Flight 93 be spread out over 8 miles of countryside when the official story says the plane augered into the ground during a fight between the passengers and the hijackers?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!"

Researcher: "Why are the names of the accused hijackers not on the actual passenger manifests of the flights as issued by the airlines?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!"

Researcher: "Why do we hear explosions the moment building 7 starts to collapse?"

ADL: "YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ANTI-SEMITE!!!!!!!"

There's simply nothing explicitly anti-semitic about anything the "researcher" says. What is of anti-semitic nature is the inclusion of the spurious ADL responses, a purposeful misrepresentation of the position of anyone who protests the racism of anti-semitism.

This is the neuro-linguistic-programming method applied to anti-semitism? Rivero concludes:

You see what I mean. The ADL is acting like they have something to hide.

Only the ADL never complained about those things, rather that those saying such things are anti-semites who blame 911 (and everything else) on Jews.

The comments added by WRH readers are fascinating, if gruesome:

z00mcopterdown
if you want to get technical about it, if you say the truth about history itself, you're bound to be anti-zioturd (which they conveniently morphed into a race which happens to be the race of their arch enemies, the palestineans and the syrians, i.e. the semites).

Notice Rys2Sense responds in the comments? Rys2Sense is Dawson ..... Ryan Dawson ...anti-neocondos.com

Dawson's the 'anti-racist' whom opposes Jewish self-determination even as he helps rehabilitate Nazism.

Click the links on the right somewhere.

How can Rys2Sense/Dawson seriously posture that he's anti-racist and anti-fascist when he's so involved with people speaking like that? Dumb.

How can Rivero posture that he isn't anti-semitic? Why does he bother? Oh....that's not hard to answer is it?

And so many of these people are blabbing about a spectre of fascism. Now that really is Orwellian.

Rivero - never mind the facts.......

What a complete load of tosh. Rivero has never cared to bother to ask if the ECB is a private bank or not. It isn't.

The Federal Reserve is not a 'private central bank' either, really - it's an agency of government, subject to the will of Congress - which returns any surplus back to the Treasury each year.

People who make these claims have no idea what they are talking about.

For instance, the idea that money is debt, and that there is never enough money to pay off the debt is a complete fallacy: every bank loan is entered as double entry in the system - a bank loan is an asset for the bank, a liability for the borrower - same figure on both sides of the books. Any liability for any borrower - including interest - appears as an asset of the same value on the banks' books. And what about depositors? Where does their interest come from? It comes from the lending activities - banks lend depositor's funds. Bank deposits are listed as liabilities on bank balance sheets and if the borrowers fail to repay the bank, those liabilities fall upon the bank itself. There's really no hoodoo here at all.

All debts/liabilities in the system are listed as credits/assets elsewhere in the system. Rivero doesn't know the most elementary of banking or accountancy practice.

One might as well ask where the "extra" money for Ford to make profit selling cars comes from as they pay less to build a car than they ask for when selling it. Presumably this means nobody can buy cars, or anything else - which is clearly the case, right?

WRH posting Nazi propaganda

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eternal_Jew

It's a joke, right?

Like it's ever been otherwise? Like it has ever NOT happened. Pathetic. You stinking idiot, Mr Rivero.

The rest of the world looks on and laughs at you, Mr Rivero.

Rivero is an ultranationalist. Yet when America acts in its national interests, Rivero criticises it - as unprincipled self-interest.

Deleted by Rys2Sense

I posted 10 messages or so at Rys2sense's website "anti-neocons". All of them were removed within hours without response. They were all civil, relevant but critical comments.

RysSense is often linked to by Mike Rivero's WhatReallyHappened website. Rys is a member of WRH and pursues much of the same interests - an obsession with Jews, Holocaust denial, grand conspiracy etc. He's recently been engaging in sedition over at youtube.

Anyway, in the comments at YouTube he said I should join his forum and enter "a debate" about the Holocaust there.

Thing is, I already tried, and he removed it. Repeatedly. And banned my user account. Rys denies he "ever" censored me - but he did it repeatedly with no warning, no explanation, and no public notice.



That post should appear here:

But it doesn't.

I have the evidence of another 10 posts being deleted. Ok, Rys? Stop lying now, huh? The evidence is clear - Rys does delete posts from his site - simply because they are critical of his POV.

Rivero's Wisdom

Bizarre.

Badly written. Very poor reasoning.

Seriously, who puts their own (rubbish) up as 'Thought for the day'? Hilarious.

Rivero and Paypal - hypocrite.

Gotta lova a man with principles.

Just yesterday Rivero was asking for donations because the site was really struggling to continue. Awwwww.

Rivero likes to trumpet the demise of 'the mainstream media' using their inability to fund their operations as proof and evidence that 'the people' know better.

We hear a different argument when it's Rivero pleading for funds though. He's asking for charity now (again)? But you know, if you can't fund it, Mr Rivero, you don't have a business. Tough shit.

And, oh yeah - Rivero the "special FX" wizard uses .jpg format for a block of flat-colour text - incompetent.

Rivero claims proxy-registrars are for "cointel" (!!!!!)

Nevermind that sooooo many of the links Rivero provides go to domains registered with Go-Daddy's proxy-registrar? HAHA. Rivero was even sponsored by one - ProgressiveIndependent.com


I found this one elsewhere too:


Interesting, no?

Rivero links to racism (?) at Palestinian-Intifada.com

Rivero linked to an article at intifada-palestine.com written by Khalid Amayreh.

An Epitome of the Israeli Jewish Society

The article starts with the despicable photos taken by the female Israeli military/prison warder, and moves to suggest it epitomises "Israeli Jewish Society".

Here's a definition of epitome:

a person or thing that is typical of or possesses to a high degree the features of a whole class.

Here's the author, asserting that the vileness of those photos epitomises the entire jewish/israel society:

Well, I don’t know if the Gestapo behaved similarly with Jewish detainees in the course of the Second World War. What is sufficiently clear to me though is that this woman’s sick behavior, especially her invocation of Zionism as a justification for her brutal sadism, is by no means an isolated case in a society suffering from a deep collective psychosis.

This is why it is safe to assume that this type of behavior represents the modus operandi in the Israeli occupation army as well as throughout the Israeli Jewish society as a whole.

It is a society that has come to view the Palestinians as “objects for abuse” rather than “human beings.” This is what makes Israeli soldiers so callously and so nonchalantly and haphazardly murder innocent Palestinians in the streets, in schools, and playgrounds in Gaza.
SOURCE

Emphasis added.

Der Sturmer? Crikey. Of course Israelis are killing innocent children at playgrounds all the time.....aren't they? It's a matter of policy, isn't it? Sure. And who is actually being dehumanised in those paragraphs? The picture is of Israelis as some zombified military menace - Zio-drones? So who is being dehumanised here? And isn't this racism - at least anti-semitism? The writer specifically says An Epitome of Israeli-Jewish society.

If one takes a look here, it can be seen they are still using images known to be of highly questionable authenticity:


That image comes from a series (from Qana) and they are discussed here::

2. Photographing scenes staged by Hezbollah and presenting the images as if they were of authentic spontaneous news events.

This is where the Reuters scandal started: with bloggers noticing that some of the images showing the aftermath of the July 30 air raid on Qana looked fishy. There are by now dozens of different photographs from that day whose authenticity has been seriously questioned, so all I can present here is a small representative sample.

Rivero lying cunt repeats lies about Ariel Sharon

Mike Rivero, the filthy antisemtic lying cunt repeats his claims that:

Israel has committed an act of war, attacking a US-flagged ship and Americans in international waters; the same crime and for the same reason that Japan attacked US-flagged ships and Americans in 1941. The present government's pathetic roll-over to the attacking nation should end any doubts that Ariel Sharon was not kidding when he stated "We the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it!"

Rivero - the RonPaul supporting Hypocrite

Today Rivero claims:

Corporations are entities which have no conscience.

Therefore, it is critical to the economic health of a country that appropriate government regulation protect its people from corporate abuse.

Tell it to RonPaul, you moron! You know, the guy you supported for President!? The radical free-marketeer, neo-liberal wanker you supported the last 2 years! Tell it to your friend and employer, Alex Jones? Sheesh.

This coming from Rivero! An anti-socialist, anti-government type, whom believes taxes are illegal! So, if not a capitalist, and not a socialist, what is he? FASCIST.

Yet more Rivero lies (it's endless!)

Rivero doesn't believe Al Qaida exists - he believes it is a product of US/Israeli governments. In fact Rivero appears to believe all terrorism is a product of the same nexus of interests - US and Israel. But really Rivero believes in the Hitlerite idea of World Jewish Conspiracy.

Here's Rivero claiming Al Qaida is fake. The irony is that his quote is fabricated - Robin Cook never said these words.

Fake Al Qaeda

"The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US . . ." -- Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook
SOURCE: Mike Rivero's WRH

Michael Rivero is a nazi-sympathising, anti-semitic liar. That's why he won't sue if you say it - he knows he is.

Here's Wayne Madsen reporting the same lie.

Seriously, why do people have to invent quotes? Why can't they take the least bit of diligence to find out if they even said these things? They either can't be bothered -- why believe them? --- or they know they're lying -- why believe them?

Consider what view the Lebanese, Islam, Rivero and these commenters have of Israel? They see it as a bloodthirsty, irrational, evil, militaristic gangsterism. And yet here they are, applauding the dispatch of shiploads of women (and previously children) to "break the blockade"! They can't see their own moral decrepitude? This is called using human shields. It's exploitation. At least the women won't wield iron bars quite so ferociously.

Rivero - bald deception

I was reading Rivero's essay on "fake terror" for the previous post. I saw something odd, and was going to raise it, but decided against it. But I've just read something else at his site - "a new WRH Exclsuive" (wooo)- which completely contradicts his earlier position.

Here's what he wrote years back, explaining how "fake terror" is supposedly used to manipulate public opinion, in this example America's entry to WW2:

Roosevelt needed an enemy, and if America would not willingly attack that enemy, then one would have to be maneuvered into attacking America, much as Marcus Licinius Crassus has maneuvered Spartacus into attacking Rome.

The way open to war was created when Japan signed the tripartite agreement with Italy and Germany, with all parties pledging mutual defense to each other. Whereas Hitler would never declare war on the United States no matter the provocation, the means to force Japan to do so were readily at hand.

The first step was to place oil and steel embargoes on Japan, using Japan's wars on the Asian mainland as a reason. This forced Japan to consider seizing the oil and mineral rich regions in Indonesia. With the European powers militarily exhausted by the war in Europe, the United States was the only power in the Pacific able to stop Japan from invading the Dutch East Indies, and by moving the Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Roosevelt made a pre-emptive strike on that fleet the mandatory first step in any Japanese plan to extend its empire into the "southern resource area".

Roosevelt boxed in Japan just as completely as Crassus had boxed in Spartacus. Japan needed oil. They had to invade Indonesia to get it, and to do that they first had to remove the threat of the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. There never really was any other course open to them.

Well, I wouldn't listen to Rivero for any history - why trust him at all. But notice the strength of his argument that Japan had no choice but to react USA provocation? I thought this was a pretty ridiculous view when I read it first, but look at this new post of Rivero's where he likens Israel's 'attack' on the flotilla to Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour? Look at how his ideological and tactical need dictates his view of history (and not the other way around):

Back in 1941, there was this foreign nation, Japan, which was illegally occupying other peoples' lands in China and Indonesia.

There were Americans in close proximity to that foreign nation, in the then-territory of Hawaii, and even though the Americans had not actually done much of anything, that foreign nation decided it had the right to attack and kill Americans just on the off chance that somewhere down the road, they might be in inconvenience.

Thus came about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
SOURCE

Some difference, huh?!! Sheesh. In the first one Rivero has to emphasis the US government's desire to enter war - and so Japan is cast as a poor trapped manipulated innocent. But in the second, so as to rhetorically attack Israel, Japan is cast as an aggressive, imperial power, which attacked the USA. Same events, completely different explanations - dependent on the propaganda needs of the moment. The guy is mentally ill if he doesn't recognise these contradictions. If he does recognise them (even only to himself), he's obviously working a propaganda agenda for which the truth is voluntarily and consciously disregarded as necessary.

Rivero on Terrorism. Islam and the far-right

If one's premises lead to a logical conclusion which is absurd, there's something wrong with your premises.

MR@WRH: Indeed, given that acts of terror undermine the very public support needed by the so-called "terrorists" to bring about change, it may be argued that there are in fact no genuine acts of terror; that they are all manufactured events to be blamed on the groups wishing to challenge the status quo.
SOURCE

But what if groups who want to obliterate the status quo actually undertake terrorism? It isn't impossible - indeed, it's ridiculous to assume it never happens and therefore it must all be manufactured. How stupid! Taking such a position removes all responsibility from terrorism itself - its political goals, its ideological content and the organisations/individuals which support and sustain it.

Rivero's conception is that 'all terorism is "fake terror"' - a complete absolving of responsibility, and a transference of it to....whom/what?:

"FAKE TERROR -
THE ROAD TO WAR AND DICTATORSHIP

Michael Rivero
It's the oldest trick in the book, dating back to Roman times; creating the enemies you need."

Is it? The oldest trick?

The Reichstag fire was a disaster for Communists because they received the blame for starting it, but it was a dream come true for Hitler and his cohorts as it allowed them to turn Germany into a dictatorship.

It seems clear though that the Communists were not responsible. But Rivero's next sentence runs:

Did the Bush administration try the same trick on September 11, 2001?

The victims of the 9/11 attacks have been disaster for Muslims because 19 Arabs were named as hijackers of the plane

[SIC] A poor sentence by Rivero, nevertheless, blaming 911 on "muslims" [who did do it*] is hardly the same as blaming communists for the Reichstag when they didn't do it! (*the evidence points to what it does - and nobody with any sense claims it was "muslims" who did it - the evidence points to radical, fundamentalist elements of Islam - which surely do not represent the entirety of Islam and all muslims, and cannot reasonably regarded as such. The charge is not "muslims did it" - but certain sections/sects/schools of Islam-ism......Al Qaida. That's what the evidence points to.]

Why should we accept all terrorism is "manufactured" based on such an argument? Communists didn't do the Reichstag therefore extreme Islam-ism-ists can't have done 911, nor Bali, nor London, nor Madrid! All terrorism is manufactured - it doesn't actually exist!

Rivero gives a hint of who he's suggesting really is responsible, and now it isn't a government administration as earlier suggested - it's morphing into something else:

"[The 911 attacks have] been a dream come true for the PNAC 'think-tank'"

PNAC is associated with 911 conspiracy, predominantly with a anti-Zionsit/anti-semitic slant. Israel/Jewish conspiracy. PNAC does have a lot of seemingly obvious pro-Israel influence, of course, but it also has a lot of Turkish influence. Several of the members are now registered as representing Turkish State Interests in USA.....Perle for example. [Doesn't that cause problems for Bill Kristol's WeeklyStandard etc? No?] The names that show up for PNAC - which conspiracists all know and associate with Israel - also show in Sibel Edmonds' accusations - but in association with Turkey! But no-one much notices. Rivero doesn't.....

MR: There can be only one reason for the above - 9/11 wasn't a surprise attack, it was a governmentally orchestrated "catastrophic and catalyzing event".

So, American and German (and Israeli!) governments are capable, if not compelled to produce 'fake terror'. But the Turkish state, Iran, Taliban, Al Qaida, cannot do so - they cannot/will not produce real terror. It just doesn't exist. This is fantasy.

MR: bin Laden strongly denied any role in the attacks and suggested that Zionists orchestrated the 9-11 attacks.

Bin Laden sounds like Rivero, then:

Rivero: The compliant mainstream media completely ignored the Israeli connection. Immediately following the 9-11 attacks the media was filled with stories linking the attacks to bin Laden. TV talking-heads, "experts", and scribblers of every stripe spoon-fed a gullible American public a steady diet of the most outrageous propaganda imaginable.

Bin Laden: "I was not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States nor did I have knowledge of the attacks. There exists a government within a government within the United States. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; to the people who want to make the present century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity. That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks. ... The American system is totally in control of the Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States."

Rivero does a good job for Bin Laden......and imagine if Rivero's completely wrong and Bin Laden is responsible? Rivero position looks pretty sick then. Look at his defence of Bin laden:

To date, the only shred of “evidence” to be uncovered against bin Laden is a barely audible fuzzy amateur video that the Pentagon just happened to find "lying around" in Afghanistan. How very convenient, and how very fake.

There is no evidence, be it hard or circumstantial, to link the Al Qaeda "terrorist network" to these acts of terror, but there is a mountain of evidence, both hard and circumstantial, which suggests that Zionists have been very busy framing Arabs for terror plots against America.
SOURCE

Bin Laden is exonerated, and "Zionists" blamed instead.

Rivero's argument starts at the Reichstag and concludes "Jews did 911....!!"

Worth noting that Rivero here accepts the deceptiveness of Nazism to make his argument about extremes of Government deception - Reichstag, Gleiwitz radio station. But this doesn't seem to effect his view of the Holocaust, about which he all too keen to believe the Nazis and their apologists. Nor does it ever seem to impinge on his wider support for Nazism at all in any way. This seems a familiar theme amongst these crypto-fascist conspiracists -- they only criticise Nazism by inference, when they wish to make their targets look bad eg claims like "the government acts like the Nazis by blaming Muslims for 911", or, "Gaza is like Warsaw! A concentration camp!" etc. Suddenly concentration camps and the Ghettos are an historic fact!! At least one might expect so? Furthermore, most people making such complaints would happily turn the tables and subject their supposed enemies (the Jews) to the same. Such people don't oppose events or the status quo on principle - only their position within it. They're pissed because they're powerless - but they'd happily change places. No deep principle at work.

Michael Rivero: Let us consider that the war began with the attack on the USS Liberty. Let us freeze Israel's assets in the US the way Palestinian and Arab assets have been frozen. Let us treat suspected Israeli spies and terrorists the way suspected Arab spies and terrorist are treated.

This is very similar to Rivero's many calls for hackers to be sent to Guantanamo. Good enough for hackers, but an outrage for Islamic warriors? Hmmm.

STOP THE ZIONIST PIRATES OF ISRAEL

Mazza poem

HEIL, ISRAEL !

" Stiffen your back and click your heels
and thrust your right hand to the Fuhrer
morphing into Netanyahu
and the Nazi crowds of Judah,
becoming their own murderers,
replacing their lost with living Gazans,
Palestine no longer theirs,
an open prison and sore surpassing
the ghettos of Warsaw, Lodz and Krakow,
Jewish sections now Arab quarters
rolling towards a final solution
like the tanks and bulldozers flattening
what life stands that slings a stone back
like David to Goliath, blinding his wrath,
children of another god
in name only, the creation
sentencing the killers to sterility
by depleted uranium
packed in the shower of bombs they dropped
whose radioactive response was blind,
attacking the organs of life on the wind,
leaving the future a two-state graveyard,
burying the Fourth Reich with its victims,
death by a remorseless reversal of history,
a universal amnesia as the
edifices crumble like Berlin
into a thousand years of dust. "

Moshe Dayan, Israel’s most celebrated general, famously outlined the strategy he believed would keep Israel’s enemies at bay "Israel must be a like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother " but this mad dog is rabid and must be delt with immediately ~ even at the laughable risk of being called Anti-Semitic.

More fabulous treasures at his blog? He wants donations, if you're feeling flush enough to do worse than throw money away.

Rivero - hypocrite

MR: Okay for Israel to blockade Gaza, but illegal for Arizona to protect their borders? Does this makes any sense to anyone?

But Rivero supports Arizona immigration law. And opposes the blockade. Mexican workers are more dangerous than Grads?
