Corruption is not the crux of the STATE problem

.
.
.
.
The bizarre drama of the intriguingly named Anna Hazare saga reached its climax on Saturday 9th when the government of India, in Delhi seemed to have caved into the demands of the lone Crusader against corruption. Maybe they will make a Goondawood movie about this event, staring .........Dev Anand as Hazare, in his native RSS/Siv Sena Maharashtra........singing and dancing of course with Modi of Gujarat who he has endorsed; Poor lad, educates himself for a few years, joins army, finds Nirvana at war in 1965, and public service finally......overcoming the sheer bloated corrupted government of the Congress Party, through his lone efforts.

That's the Fairy Tale, but what really happened?

Congress is rudderless, with a geriatric leadership under ManMohan Singh, and now into its second term is on the defensive...OBVIOUSLY.

The Ardash scam, the 2G scam, the Commonwealth Games scam's, Military Golf Course scam's, and the sudden discovery that there are between $500--1,500 billion looted from impoverished India by the corrupted elite lying idle in Swiss Bank accounts alone
.....has correctly generated public anger. (70 tax havens around the world, excluding the UK and USA....otherwise 2 favorite destinations of South Asia's assets by the corrupted governing post-colonial elite from Bangladesh to Pakistan)

PM Singh is a weak front for Sonia, the real back seat driver who herself is wholly uneducated, not holding a single under grad degree, but is the unofficial leader of the country simply because she is the wife of former PM Rajiv Gandhi, and through marriage she belongs to that famous dynasty.
Clearly Congress is insecure...as it should be.

India has 69 Billionaires.

The Congress Party has been in charge of the show for most of the 63.5 years of "Independence" run by the Macaulay Brown sahibs, so obviously they must take the greatest direct flak for the nations many woes. However what is sad is that in a Great Nation such as India, the government of such a great nation has to bow to the wishes of one man, and the blackmail tactics of a lone hunger striker.

That is not the way to run Great nations, and governments.

There are many levels of financial corruption:

(i) Corruption between individual citizens.

(ii) Petty corruption between government officials and civilians.

(iii) Big corruption cases involving powerful public figures in government and the private sector.

With the first and second, in developed countries, there is quite a lot of transparency which allows Joe public to seek redress if corruption is involved, usually through civil or criminal action. The neutral (a) state institutions, (b) effective governance, and (c) the rule of law is quite sufficient to prevent high levels of corruption in the first two cases, in Developed countries. Though there are variations between say Norway, New Zealand on the one exemplary end and Greece, Italy and Portugal at the other.

However in the instance of the third kind of financial corruption, the level of corruption is as great if not greater in Developed Countries as it is in any Third World country. But because the system of the nation state works, and the scamsters are more sophisticated, infiltrating governments and controlling them (USA/UK)......big corruption cases in First World countries, save a few (Enron/Bernie Madoff) don't really surface as they do in India.

Consider that London is the headquarters of the global narcotics trade and money laundering ($600 billion annually) with New York, since the days of the East India company over 200 years ago.

The Pentagon does not know what has happened to $3 trillion of its expenditure from 1990--2001. There is no audit, and "al-Qaeda" helpfully cruise missiled the single office of the Pentagon which was investigating the trail of this money in 9/11 2001.

Barak Obama, elected by Wall Street money has given corrupt, mismanaged Wall Street Banks trillions of $ to "Bail them out" of their own corrupt, deceptive, criminal practices.

The USA installs puppets in Third World Nations; pressurizes them to put ALL their nations money in American banks, and then topples them (Shah of Iran, where the USA is holding between $40-50 billion of the Shah's Iran assets, with interest)

Despite the above, the USA is still a successful country, with tremendous prosperity, and an economy of $15 trillion. The UK is still a successful country, with tremendous prosperity, and an economy of $2 trillion. What makes these two countries First World, and prosperous is the total absence of the first two kinds of corruption. Which also allows Indian expats to succeed into millionaires through sheer hard work, and business acumen in the USA and UK. The OVERALL system of the state works.

I do not condone the third category of big corruption, I abhor it. We must also remember that Germany and Japan are doing quite well, with huge economies, without the clear indication of running the third type of big league corruption cases, through the government and big business.

However major league corruption is not the crux of the problem for a Developing nation.

The main challenges are:

Governance

Transparent, effective state institutions.

Good strategic policies which are useful for the state in all spheres.

Effective leadership which articulates state policies to the state structure and the masses

China is success
ful not because the Communist Party is completely incorruptible, and there are no cases of major corruption in the country....quite the contrary. However the Communist Party in China is strong, is meritocratic and not based on dynasty politics....governance is effective...with effective top down state institutions...and finally good strategic policies for the state, which bears obvious fruit.

India by contrast is a mafia state, where the government is weak, epitomized by PM Singh, and the organized criminal elements strong (oil mafia, movie mafia, wheat mafia). Government operates on a minimalist basis, despite all the hue and cry, with the budget accounting for about barely 20% of the official GDP.....and far less of the real GDP ($4 trillion).

Indian Government institutions are corrupt, colonial era and ineffective---they don't do their jobs that well, thus obviously governance is very weak. Finally most government policies are inappropriate for the strategic development of the country, but instead is a mixer of bandage wrapping and hole plugging adhoc policies depending on the publicity that is generated by the "popular" Westernized media (TOI, Hindustan Times, Anglicized TV channels).....Indian governments are shallow, and inactive.

However trying to hold hunger strikes against such deep institutional problems is not going to be easy, trying to galvanize the public at the same time.

How do you hunger strike against a corrupt MOD, which thirsts for foreign arms purchases, which affords huge kickbacks for the netas and babus involved, but compromises India's strategic defense policies?

How do you you hunger strike against a corrupt worthless MEA, which does not know how to purs
ue India's external interests even in its back yard?

How do you detect ALL the spies working within the state structure for foreign governments for money? (Mitr
okin papers reveal to us that most of Indira's cabinet worked for the KGB, whilst a few worked for the CIA).....who works for India and its poor people?

Hunger strikes against corruption is noble, and gauges audiences in India. The poor man with no money has some satisfaction against the man with too much money. But the focus and meditation in Civil society action must ultimately focus on how to improve GOVERNANCE, EFFECTIVE STATE INSTITUTIONS, GOOD STRATEGIC POLICIES OF THE STATE, and finally GOOD LEADERSHIP WORKING WITHIN EFFECTIVE PARTIES, which are not paid for and run by International bankers and their agenda's in the West.

But have I not stated quite clearly in previous blogs that corruption is the number one enemy of Developing countries? Yes it indeed is, but the question is how do you go about tackling it which makes the overall system of the state more effective?

I just don't think having a ten man committee (including 5 heavy government political insiders with a lot of experience dodging the ball).....with no lawyers with experience with complex corruption cases, or no clean honest untainted senior police officers again with experience with financial corruption will have the clear capacity to tackle the huge area of "CORRUPTION IN INDIA"......but instead will react to media stories, and exposes by journalists, piecemeal.

I'm not sure you can get rid of corruption in such a huge impoverished state.

In that scenario, it will be more effective if the informed and concerned section of Indian society focus on making India work more effectively as a state and society of 1.2 billion by improving governance bit by bit, state institutions through reform....bringing them into the 21st century through investment, reform, training (police)...developing better national strategic policies.......these things are doable, step by step, through strong leadership.

.....HOWEVER erasing the 3 categories of corruption mentioned above is near impossible in impoverished India. Certainly a peoples Lokpal will be a political football with too little resources, time, and energy to deal with the huge area of "corruption in India".....even though it may check hopefully the open season corruption in Indian politics. (Commonwealth Games scam, on going defense contract scam's since the 1960's from the day's of Indira Gandhi, indeed all government contracts scrutinized)....and corruption in the States.

ANNA HAZARE
By V Raghunathan in the TOI blog

In my last post, I argued why we cannot accept corruption as tolerable in some fields but not tolerable in others. I also argued that tolerating corruption in any segment of a society ultimately leads to its encroaching every nook and cranny of the society, and the situation culminates in corruption and un-patriotism merging into one another.

Since I posted that blog, I came across this interesting little news heading tucked away in the interior pages of a news paper: Defence contract: Dassault executive accused of bribery. The news item went on to explain that the ‘Indian Air Force has put on hold its dealings with the country manager of French defence firm Dassault Aviation for his role in the bribery scandal during the Aero India show in Bangalore’.

Exactly what was the role this manager played in the bribery scandal? It turns out that a Wing Commander of Indian Air Force, in charge of allotting parking spots for the aircrafts going on show demanded Rs 20,000 for allotting a preferred spot. An official premium for a preferred slot would have been understandable; but a personal consideration? Apparently this gentleman paid the sum, but took his complaint to the higher ups in Air Force, where upon the gentleman was accused of being involved in bribery and black listed, while the officer concerned wasn’t; or if he was, the news paper did not say so! Insiders tell us stories of how even preferred timings of demonstration flights have their ‘rates’!

Now is this your plain vanilla corruption of the usual business man variety or it something else? Air shows are meant for civilian and military aircrafts manufacturers alike to show case their wares. A wrong choice of the aircraft because it was not given a due slot could compromise the lives of passengers if the aircraft is civilian, and compromise national security if the aircraft in question was a military one. See what I mean about corruption and un-patriotism being inter-linked?

From all reckoning it does appear that the cup of corruption has indeed been overflowing in this country for some time now. A great majority of the so-called political leaders, the pilots, the air force brass, the army brass, the naval brass, the babus, the cops, the businessmen, the industrialists, the university professors on accreditation duties, the railway ticket collectors, the peons outside government offices, the lawyers, the judges, the journos, the doctors, the traders, the engineers, the contractors – apparently none of these groups can claim to be relatively more clean than the other. It is as if most of them fancy themselves a BSF Jawan on ceremonial retreat at Wagah border bent on outdoing the other. It is time when not just the politicians, but all of us as citizens need to look deep into ourselves as to whether or not we are corrupt.

After all the everyday graft seekers aren’t necessarily politicians, though the chain of corruption does go all the way up in most cases.(Sonia and family)

That is why the gentle Anna Hazare undertaking fast-unto-death assumes significance. People like Anna Hazare are evolved souls not given to jumping the gun like many of us are wont to. It takes a lot of doing for their patience to be tested. It is hardly surprising that Anna Hazare regards the corrupt politicians entrusted with the task of drafting the anti-corruption law as akin to a bunch of thieves appointed to design our home security system, when the thieves are still loose! It may not be feasible for every citizen to make a beeline to Delhi. (Tahrir Square in New Delhi---with 10 million..why not?)

But all patriotic and right thinking citizens of the country must provide every conceivable support to Anna Hazare, as thousands upon thousands are already beginning to do; but we are a country of a billion plus – so there is room for more support. Perhaps after Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan’s call for sampoorna kranti, culminating in Delhi’s Ramlila Grounds with evocative chants of Singhasan Khaali Karo Ke Janata Aaati Hai renting the air by a crowd of some 100,000 strong in 1975, Anna’s fast may be the next most significant mass movement in modern India yet.

Third World Crypto-Jew to a First World Crypto-Jew

.
.
.
.
Touching bit of pathos and melodrama from Gaddafi, as he pleads with Obama (Both African, both crypto-Jews on their mothers side, both brought to power by the CIA, both ardent Jewish Socialists)...........but the snake pit of American Jewish geo-strategy, and the pursuit of other peoples money ($32 billion of Gaddafi's assets grabbed by the USA barely before the "revolution" against Gaddafi began)......means that the American crypto-Jews must disown one of their own puppets, for the sake of installing "al-Qaeda"in Libya......aka...Taliban Afghanistan in North Africa, which will be blamed for more false flag ops in the USA later presumably.

American puppets and dogs beware!

Gaddafi writes to 'dear son' Obama

By NYT

TRIPOLI: Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya sent another strikingly personal letter to US president Obama, urging him to stop Nato's air strikes but drawing a swift rejection in response.

"You will always remain our son whatever happened,"

Obama, who since his inauguration has received three letters full of fatherly affection from the Libyan leader, did not respond. In Gaddafi's letter, addressed to "Mr Our dear son, Excellency, Baraka Hussein Abu Oumama," the Libyan leader reiterated his characterization of the rebels as "al Qaida gangs." He recalled Obama's repeated statements "that America is not responsible for the security of other peoples."

"That America helps only. This is the right logic," Gaddafi wrote, adding, "As you know too well democracy and building of civil society cannot be achieved by means of missiles and aircraft (Iraq, Afghanistan....both failed states), or by backing armed members of al-Qaida in Benghazi."

US secretary of state Hillary Clinton(crypto-Jewess) rebuffed the appeal from Gaddafi and demanded he withdraw his forces and go into exile. "Gaddafi knows what he must do," she said."There needs to be a ceasefire , his forces need to withdraw from cities they have forcibly taken at great violence and human cost. There needs to be a decision made about his departure from power and ... from Libya," she said.

Gaddafi wrote. "We Endeavour and hope that you will gain victory in the new election campaigne. You are a man who has enough courage to annul a wrong and mistaken action," he added, in idiosyncratic spelling and capitalization.

Whats $400 billion in Mexican drugs laundering money......relax and forget.

Wachovia Paid Trivial Fine for Nearly $400 Billion in Drug Related Money Laundering – Moving 22 Tons of Cocaine

from Naked Capitalism

If this news story does not prove that banks are effectively above the law, I don’t know what does. The Guardian, in an account yet to be picked up anywhere in the US media (per Google News as of this posting, hat tip readers May S and Swedish Lex) reports that Wachovia was at the heart of one of the world’s biggest money laundering operations, moving $378.4 billion into dollar-based accounts from Mexican casas de cambio, which are currency exchange firms. While these transfers took place over a period of years, the article notes that it equals 1/3 of Mexican GDP. And the resolution?

Criminal proceedings were brought against Wachovia, though not against any individual, but the case never came to court. In March 2010, Wachovia settled the biggest action brought under the US bank secrecy act, through the US district court in Miami. Now that the year’s “deferred prosecution” has expired, the bank is in effect in the clear. It paid federal authorities $110m in forfeiture, for allowing transactions later proved to be connected to drug smuggling, and incurred a $50m fine for failing to monitor cash used to ship 22 tons of cocaine.

Most Western intelligence Services operate within the Jewish power structure.

.
.
.
.
And not for the taxpayers of their country.

That is why they are involved heavily in narcotics wars (Vietnam 1965-1975, Afghanistan 1979--2011, Balkans 1995--1999), and smuggling narcotics into THEIR own countries.(This business benefits the Jewish bankers of London and NY, where narcotics money laundering plays an important part of the financial sustenance of the Jewish banks).....but obviously very bad for everybody else, including for the people in the USA, and Europe.

Massive Counterfeiting of currency.....al a Federal Reserve.

Third World regime changes and control...especially in the Greater Middle East most visibly for their Jewish masters.(Libya has little geo-strategic relevance for traditional American perspective given that it is already run by an American installed puppet {Gaddafi----his desperate letter to Obama recently}, but Libya does matter from the warped Jewish perspective)

Their linkages and fealty to the Rothschilds of London, the unofficial "sovereigns" of ALL Jews, and obviously their relationship with powerful Jews in the Western world.

Their relationships with Mafia groups. CIA/American Jewish Mafia.

Pedophile rings and child slavery, and slavery in general.

How they manipulate elections in countries, and which politicians and public figures they control. Obama, and Hilary Clinton are CIA prodigies groomed from a very early age, with crypto-Jewish backgrounds.

How they manipulate and speculate in sporting fields, especially soccer.

Details of their money laundering operations and general criminal activity
(Misc)

False intelligence/propaganda, and initiating wars based on false intelligence.

False flag operations in their own countries.

Kidnapping, illegal detention and torture of innocent civilians.

With the help of the Western Jewish controlled media, the intelligence Services and their activities and utterances are fawned over (James Bond, "Spooks" Alias.............), without question or reason, whilst their massive crimes are over looked.

Most intelligence recruits in Western countries have to perform elaborate ceremonies to show their loyalty to Israel......After they have finished training in their respective countries...USA/UK....they are taken to Israel and Jerusalem, where in a midnight ceremony, wearing Jewish clothes, they must drop their pants, hold their penis with the left hand, and with the right touch the Wailing Wall........where upon in perfect Hebrew they sing the Israeli national anthem.

The article below gives us a very small glimpse of this massive Jewish Mafia organizations with their double dealings and triple dealings across the globe.......doing every thing else, but pure intelligence work for their countries.

PHILBY : WHO WAS HE WORKING FOR? By aangirfan.


Kim Philby


Kim Philby trained James Jesus Angleton. (The Cambridge Spy Ring - The Education Forum)

Kim Philby was a spy, but for whom was he really working?

Harold "Kim" Philby (1912 – 1988) was born in India.

His father, Harry St. John Philby, was a British spy.

St John Philby, left, and family

In 1921, Harry St. John Philby 1921, became UK head of the Secret Service in the British Mandate of Palestine.

He was in favour of Jewish immigration into Palestine. He got to know the Rothschilds. (St John Philby - Wikipedia)

In the 1930s, Harry St John Philby worked for Standard Oil of California (Socal), helping it get control of oil in Saudi Arabia.

Harry St John Philby, aided by Allen Dulles, helped Saudi Arabia negotiate a deal to allow Saudi oil to reach Hitler's Germany. (St John Philby - Wikipedia )



Victor Rothschild joined MI5 during the Second World War. After the liberation of France, Rothschild worked with
Dick White, Kim Philby and Malcolm Muggeridge at the MI6 offices established at the Rothschild family mansion in Paris. Edward Heath, in 1970, appointed him head of the government's Central Policy Review Staff. Later Margaret Thatcher appointed Rothschild as her unofficial security adviser.

While a student at Cambridge University, Kim Philby began his long friendship with Victor Rothschild.

Lord Victor Rothschild became an important memeber of the British security services, and reportedly gave away many secrets to Russia and Israel.

At Cambridge, Kim Philby also got to know Maurice Dobb 'a Communist sympathizer'. Dobb put Kim Philby in contact with the Communist underground in Vienna, Austria.

In Vienna, Kim Philby fell in love with Litzi Friedmann (née Alice Kohlmann), a Communist of Hungarian Jewish origins.

Kim Philby and Litzi Friedmann married 1934. Reportedly, Litzi recruited Kim Philby as a Soviet spy.

Kim Philby became a journalist and a member the Anglo-German Fellowship, which supported the Nazi Party in Germany.

In 1936, Litzi and Kim Philby split up. They divorced in 1946.

In 1937, Kim Philby traveled to Spain, reporting on the civil war for The Times, and apparently working for Soviet intelligence.

Kim Philby 'trumpeted' the victories of the fascists and was awarded the Red Cross of Military Merit by Franco in 1938.

John Philby (son of Kim), Kim Philby, George Blake, in Moscow. In 1948, when John Philby was five, Guy Burgess came to stay for a holiday at the Philbys sprawling villa in Turkey. "John's mother resented Burgess and his close relationship with her husband, and began staging accidents to claim attention; she once reported being mugged in her car, and on another occasion set fire to the living room, suffering serious burns. She was later sent to a Swiss clinic for treatment. Philby was posted to the United States the following year." Website for this image

While in Spain, Philby had an affair with Frances Doble, Lady Lindsay-Hogg, an actress and aristocratic divorcée who was an admirer of Francisco Franco and Adolf Hitler.

In 1940, Philby began living with Aileen Furse in London. Their first three children were Josephine, John, and Dudley Thomas.

In 1940, Walter Krivitsky, a Soviet spy who had defected to the West, was interviewed by MI5 officers in London.

Krivitsky claimed that a certain Soviet intelligence agent had worked as a journalist for a British newspaper during the civil war in Spain.

In 1940, Philby was working for MI6.

In 1944, Philby became head of MI6's Section Nine, which kept an eye on Communist activities.

Reportedly, James Jesus Angleton had his suspicions about Philby's loyalties.

In August 1945, Konstantin Volkov, a high-ranking Soviet spy in Istanbul, wanted to defect to Britain.

Volkov claimed to know the names of three Soviet agents inside Britain. Philby warned the Soviets about Volkov, who was sent back to Moscow.

In February 1947, Philby was appointed head of British intelligence for Turkey, and posted to Istanbul with his second wife, Aileen, and their family.

In 1949, Philby became chief of British intelligence in Washington.

He was responsible for liaising with the newly-formed CIA.

From September 1949, the British and American intelligence services had been developing a plan to topple the communist regime in Albania.

Albanian émigré guerrillas were trained by British and American forces, and from 1950 to 1952, these guerrilla forces were parachuted into Albania.

Thanks to Philby, the Albanian regime was able to capture and kill the guerrillas.

Guy Burgess

In October 1950, Guy Burgess, Philby's 'flamboyantly homosexual' Cambridge colleague and fellow Soviet spy came to work at the British Embassy in Washington.

Burgess took up residence in the Philby family home.

J. Edgar Hoover complained that Burgess used British Embassy cars to avoid arrest when he cruised Washington in pursuit of homosexual sex.

The morning after a certain party at Philby's house, a guest found "Kim and Guy in bed together drinking champagne."

In May 1951, Burgess, and his fellow Soviet spy Donald Maclean, fled to Moscow.

Philby returned to London to be quizzed by MI5.

In July 1951, Philby 'resigned' from MI6

In October 1955, Philby was officially cleared by Foreign Secretary Harold Macmillan, who told the House of Commons, "I have no reason to conclude that Mr. Philby has at any time betrayed the interests of his country."

In August 1956, Philby was sent to Beirut as a Middle East correspondent for The Observer and The Economist.

He was still working for MI6.

Philby began an affair with Eleanor, wife of New York Times correspondent Sam Pope Brewer.

Aileen Philby died in England in 1957.

Philby married Eleanor in 1959.

In 1961, the KGB's Anatoliy Golitsyn defected to the United States from his post in Helsinki.

Golitsyn produced evidence pointing to Philby being a Soviet agent.

In 1962, Nicholas Elliott, an MI6 officer, interviewed Philby in Beirut.

Philby confessed that he worked for the Soviets.

On 23 January 1963, Philby vanished from Beirut and eventually turned up in Moscow.

Reportedly, the KGB did not trust Philby.

Philby began an affair with Donald Maclean's wife, Melinda.

Philby divorced Eleanor.

In 1971, Philby married Rufina Ivanova Pukhova, a Russo-Polish woman twenty years his junior, with whom he lived until his death in 1988.

According to Rufina, in the late 1960s Philby attempted suicide by slashing his wrists.

And what of Philby's 'friend' Angleton?

Angleton, who was of the pro-Israel faction in the CIA. He was head of Counter Intelligence at the CIA from 1954 - 1975.

There is a theory that the key people in the CIA have always worked on friendly terms with the key people in the KGB and the key people in Mossad. (DO JEWS RUN THE SECURITY SERVICES?)

And Jewish folks are very influential in certain countries.

According to Haaretz, "Every appointee to the American government must endure a thorough background check by the American Jewish community."
(American Jews eye Obama's 'anti-Israel' appointees - Haaretz ...
)

James Jesus Angleton worked for the CIA.

He may also have worked for Mossad.

He may, or may not, have realised that Mossad worked with the KGB.

USS Liberty

A Spotlight report, of 21 November 1977, claimed that Angleton conspired with Israel to attack the USS Liberty. (USS Liberty)

Reportedly, Angleton believed the sinking of the Liberty could be used as a "Pearl Harbour" type of incident to turn Americans against the Arabs.

(aangirfan: The US government tried to sink the USS Liberty)

It was Angleton who negotiated an agreement whereby Israel and America agreed not spy on each other. (Book Reviews: Every Spy a Prince)

(The agreement was nullified by Admiral Stansfield Turner, when he was Jimmy Carter's CIA director. But, Mossad contined to work closely with the CIA.)


Terence Hawkes wrote that Angleton's friendship with Mossad "gave him a major role in preserving Israel's secrecy in respect of Suez.

"As the officer in charge of the Israeli 'account', he supported the Israeli atomic bomb programme." (James Jesus Angleton by Michael Holzman reviewed by Terence Hawkes TLS)

After Angleton died, a memorial to him was erected in Jerusalem.

James Jesus Angleton's father, according to a close friend, Max Corvo, was "ultra-conservative" and a fascist sympathizer. (James Angleton)

It was during World War II that James Jesus Angleton became a spy.

Reportedly Angleton helped set up Operation Gladio, which involved CIA militias carrying out acts of muderous terrorism in Italy.

"Angleton built on family and business connections in Italy to lay the basis of Gladio...

"He also helped notorious Nazi/fascist mass-murderers such as Junio Valerio 'Black Prince' Borghese elude justice at war's end." (Cached)

Philby, friend of the KGB and MOSSAD.

In 1943 Angleton was sent to London to be trained by MI5 officer Kim Philby, who turned out to be a friend of the KGB and Mossad. (James Angleton)

In 1951 Angleton was sent to Israel where he helped to set up Mossad.

According to the controversial Eustace Mullins (CHAPTER FIVE - The CIA - 3): "While CIA station chief in Rome, the CIA's Angleton "worked closely with the Zionist terrorists Teddy Kollek and Jacob Meridor, and later became chief of the Israeli desk at the CIA, helping Philby to set up the lavishly funded international Mossad espionage operation, all paid for by American taxpayers."

In 1951, the CIA was investigating Kim Philby, the top MI6 agent working in Washington.

The CIA director, Walter Bedell Smith, asked Angleton and William Harvey to write separate reports on Philby. (James Angleton)

Harvey concluded that Philby was a Soviet spy.

Angleton defended Philby.

Smith took the advice of Angleton.

Philby escaped to the Soviet Union in 1963.

Reportedly, Kim Philby was assisted in escaping to the Soviet Union by the Israeli Mossad (Sunday Telegraph, April 16, 1989) Cached.

(Lord Victor Rothschild was allegedly one of the other top Soviet spies in the UK ; Soviet spy Guy Burgess was close to Rothschild.)

In 1954 CIA boss Allen Dulles appointed Angleton as chief of the CIA's counter-intelligence section.


Angleton provided information to the Warren Commission.

Some people have claimed that Angleton was involved in covering up the CIA's involvement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.


Golitsin

Angleton interviewed Anatoli Golitsin, a KGB agent who defected to the CIA.

Golitsin suggested that W. Averell Harriman had been a Soviet spy, while he was the U.S. Ambassador to the Russia during the Second World War. (James Angleton)

According to Eric Margolis, Angleton "became an active 'asset' or at least very close ally of Israel’s Mossad, and a champion of Israel’s cause in Washington." (FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, by Eric Margolis)

Clare Edward Petty, of the CIA's Special Investigation Group (SIG), concluded that there was an "80-85 percent probability" that Angleton was a Soviet spy. (James Angleton)

Kissinger

In 1973, James Schlesinger temporarily became Director of the CIA.

Angleton gave Schlesinger a list of people that he thought were Soviet agents.

This list included Harold Wilson, the British prime minister, Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister, Willy Brandt, chairman of the West German Social Democratic Party, Averell Harriman, the former U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, Lester Pearson, the Canadian prime minister and Henry Kissinger, the National Security Adviser and Secretary of State under President Richard Nixon.

Schlesinger thought Angleton was suffering from paranoia.

In mid 1973, William Colby became the Director of the CIA.

Colby was not impressed with Angleton.

Colby said he could not find any evidence "that we ever caught a spy under Jim". (James Angleton)

So, are the key spooks often in league with each other?

The newspaper Scotland on Sunday reported, on 16/9/ 2001, that Osama bin Laden made his fortune in part by working with Jewish-Russian mafia operations in Qatar and Cyprus. (Mafias)

According to Wayne Madsen, "The Bin Laden drug network ... intersects with Geneva-based financial entities established by George H. W. Bush while he was CIA director and Vice President and President of the United States." - (aangirfan: Bush, Bin Laden, Drugs.... )

Reportedly, "Angleton had an alliance with ... the Mafia, dating from 1944 when he was an O.S.S. officer in Italy.

"'Operation Gladio' ... was based on Angleton's fascist-Mafia connections, and employed ... the Mafia to assassinate some who couldn't be bribed, e.g. Prime Minster Aldo Moro." (Cached)

"al-CIAduh" in Libya.

Mounting evidence of CIA ties to Libyan rebels
By Patrick Martin of World Socialist Website in Information Clearing House.

Numerous press reports over the weekend add to the evidence that the Libyan rebels fighting the regime of Muammar Gaddafi are under the direction of American intelligence agencies. Despite the repeated claims by Obama administration officials that the rebels are a largely unknown quantity, it is becoming increasingly clear that key military leaders of the anti-Gaddafi campaign are well known to the US government and have longstanding relations with the CIA.

For better than two weeks there had been a virtual ban in the US media on reporting the name of Khalifa Haftar, the long-time CIA collaborator who was appointed chief rebel commander March 17, on the eve of the US-NATO bombing campaign against Libya. Only the regional McClatchy Newspapers chain reported Haftar’s appointment, and ABC News ran a brief interview with him on March 27. Otherwise, silence prevailed.

This de facto censorship abruptly ended April 1, when a right-wing US think tank, the Jamestown Foundation, published a lengthy study of Haftar’s background and record, which was cited extensively by Reuters news service, and then more widely in the US and British media.

The Jamestown Foundation report declared: “Today as Colonel Haftar finally returns to the battlefields of North Africa with the objective of toppling Gaddafi, his former co-conspirator from Libya’s 1969 coup, he may stand as the best liaison for the United States and allied NATO forces in dealing with Libya’s unruly rebels.”


The Jamestown study noted Haftar’s role in organizing the Libyan National Army (LNA), which he founded “on June 21, 1988 with strong backing from the Central Intelligence Agency,” and cites a 1991 interview with him “conducted in an LNA camp in rural Virginia.” Not only did the CIA sponsor and fund the LNA, it engineered the entry of LNA officers and men into the United States where they established a training camp.

Reuters added, using a variant spelling of the name, that it has “repeatedly asked for an interview with Hefta but he could not immediately be contacted.” The news service added, “The CIA declined to comment” on its relationship to the former Libyan military leader.

Other references to Haftar’s role appeared in the
online blog of the New Yorker magazine, in Africa Confidential, on National Public Radio, the British daily Guardian, and in the Independent on Sunday, another British newspaper.

The Independent column, headlined “The Shady Men Backed by the West to Displace Gaddafi,” described the Libyan rebel commanders as follows: “The careers of several make them sound like characters out of the more sinister Graham Greene novels. They include men such as Colonel Khalifa Haftar, former commander of the Libyan army in Chad who was captured and changed sides in 1988, setting up the anti-Gaddafi Libyan National Army reportedly with CIA and Saudi backing. For the last 20 years, he has been living quietly in Virginia before returning to Benghazi to lead the fight against Gaddafi.”

Finally, the Washington Post’s Sunday edition carried several references to Haftar, including a front-page article profiling the divisions within the rebel military leadership. “Khalifa Haftar, a former army colonel who recently returned to Libya after living for many years in Falls Church, was initially hailed by the Transitional National Council as a leader who could help discipline the new army and train its largely volunteer ranks,” Post reporter Tara Bahrampour wrote.
She then quoted TNC and rebel military spokesmen giving conflicting accounts, one saying Haftar had been removed from command, the other saying he remained in control of the military. A spokesman for the TNC, asked to explain the conflict in light of its earlier announcement of Haftar’s appointment, said, “This is the position of the council today. The situation is fluid.... The political viewpoints change frequently.”

Walter Pincus, the Post’s long-time reporter on intelligence activities, himself a former CIA informer in the National Student Association, described Haftar as “a former Libyan army colonel who for years commanded the Libyan National Army (LNA), an anti-Gaddafi group.” The article said Haftar had “established the LNA, allegedly with backing from the CIA and Saudi elements.” It continued: “In 1996, he was reported to have been behind an alleged uprising in eastern Libya. By that time, he was already settled with his family in Falls Church.”

According to Pincus, “a senior intelligence official,” asked about the Libyan commander’s connection to the CIA, “said it was policy not to discuss such issues.”

The informal blackout on Haftar’s identity and CIA connections still continues on the American television networks and in the pages of the New York Times—a newspaper that openly admits its subservience to the US military/intelligence apparatus. But the significance of the weekend press reports is unmistakable: the Libyan rebel military is not the independent organ of a popular uprising against the Gaddafi dictatorship, but rather the creature of American imperialism, the most reactionary political force on the planet.

The dubious character of the Libyan rebels was further underscored in a remarkable profile published Saturday by the Wall Street Journal of three Libyans who had fought with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and were now playing major roles in the rebel military effort. Two of the three had been in US custody as alleged Al Qaeda operatives and one spent six years at Guantanamo Bay before being turned over to the Gaddafi regime in 2007. The three men are:

Abdel Hakim al-Hasady, described as “an influential Islamic preacher and high school teacher who spent five years at a training camp in eastern Afghanistan” and now “oversees the recruitment, training and deployment of about 300 rebel fighters from Darna,” a city in eastern Libya:


  • Salah al-Barrani, “a former fighter from the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, or LIFG,” who is Hasady’s field commander
  • Sufyan Ben Qumu, “a Libyan army veteran who worked for Osama bin Laden’s holding company in Sudan and later for an al Qaeda-linked charity in Afghanistan,” and who “is training many of the city’s rebel recruits.”

  • Hasady and Ben Qumu were arrested by Pakistani security after the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and turned over to the US. Hasady was transferred to Libyan custody two months later, while Ben Qumu was moved to Guantanamo and held there until 2007, when he, too, was sent to a Libyan prison. The Gaddafi regime released both men in 2008, at a time when US-Libya collaboration in the “war on terror” was at its height. Such an action would certainly have been checked with Washington.

    The former Al Qaeda warrior was quite willing to speak to the leading US business newspaper, which reported, “his discourse has become dramatically more pro-American.” He told the Journal, “If we hated the Americans 100 percent, today it is less than 50 percent. They have started to redeem themselves for their past mistakes.…”

    Whether these individuals are Al Qaeda operatives who were “turned” by their American captors or have simply changed allegiance under changed circumstances is unclear. But their role in the Libyan opposition further undermines the longstanding propaganda of the US government about the supposedly unbridgeable gulf between Al Qaeda and American imperialism.

    For a decade, the US government, under Bush and now Obama, has used the terrorist actions of Al Qaeda and its alleged supporters as a pretext for one military intervention after another in the Muslim world—Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, the Philippines, Indonesia and now Libya.

    There has long been reason to doubt the “war on terror” narrative, not least the fact that Al Qaeda was effectively created by the CIA through its activities in recruiting and mobilizing radical Islamists to go to Afghanistan in the 1980s and join the mujaheddin guerrillas fighting the Soviet army there. Many of the 9/11 suicide hijackers were known to the CIA as Al Qaeda operatives, and in some cases under active surveillance, but were nonetheless allowed to enter the country, receive training at US flight schools and carry out the terrorist attacks.

    An incident during a hearing Thursday before the House Armed Services Committee demonstrates the sensitivity of the US government concerning the links between US intelligence services and Al Qaeda. Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman questioned a witness, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, about the role of Abdel Hakim al-Hasady. Steinberg refused to discuss the matter, suggesting it could be taken up only in a closed-door session where US covert operations are regularly reviewed.

    "al-CIAduh" is official, and out of the closet.

    For years in the alternative media there was talk of the CIA running the "al-Qaeda" hologram:

    What that hologram meant:

    Tim Osman, aka Osama Bin Laden recruited by the CIA in the 1980's, running a database of some Arab fighters in Afghanistan in the 1990's for the CIA........sort of recruitment agency rep for the CIA and presumably Israel, for ops in Bosnia, Kosovo and other places. Tim Osman WAS certainly NOT the acknowledged leader of any of them, save for his immediate friends of a handful from Saudi. Tim Osman certainly WAS not the leader of an Islamist outfit strategically directing a dedicated cadre of 5000 hardened fighters of Arab orgin largely from Afghanistan.


    To put it more simply the real leader of "al-Qaeda" is the CIA, and the destabilization of Arab regimes now (solely) which the Western media cheerfully describe as popular uprisings seems to be reveling the CIA's links with "al-Qaeda" more clearly then ever before.

    If Islamists are at the center of protests against their governments in several Arab regimes, then this linkage between "al-Qaeda" and the CIA becomes more clear.......this is inevitable.

    Since the late 1970's the CIA has been using Islamists to pursue USA strategic policy in the Greater Middle East, sometimes with the cooperation of the military security in such countries (Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco). What is happening now is the continuation of that policy since the 1970's in Libya, NOW and it seems Yemen, Pakistan, Egypt and so forth.

    Put simply Islamic Fundamentalism is the fifth column of Western Imperialism.

    The hypocrisy is all too clear. Western Imperial powers such as the USA/UK talk about fighting so called "Islamic Fascism" but it turns out the key characters of Islamic Fascism in Arab civil wars are in fact closely groomed trainees of the very same Imperial powers.

    As with Ayatollah Khomeini allegedly run by the CIA, along with Mullah Omer run by the ISI for the CIA, and Tim Osman by the CIA, Hamas by Israel.........once these Islamists come to power, presumably they too will be disowned and vilified as the above three, providing the casus belli to attack their countries with ground troops and more wars.

    The CIA is a problem for the USA, and a problem for the world. The Jew cleverness of the CIA is creating multiple problems which only a few demented security people might get excited about.

    Al Qaeda: Pawns of CIA Insurrection from Libya to Yemen

    By Webster G. Tarpley, Ph.D. in "Information Clearing House

    After two weeks of imperialist attack, Libya is being mangled by Al Qaeda terrorists, civil war, NATO air raids, cruise missiles, Predator drones, and C-130 gunships – all made possible by the CIA-backed Al Qaeda rebels of Cyrenaica. US, British, French, and Dutch commandos have taken leadership of the rebel forces, and are arming them with modern weapons in flagrant violation of the arms embargo specified in UN Security Council resolution 1973. Al Qaeda is also stealing heavy weapons on its own, as the president of Chad has reported. The singing tomorrows of the fatuous US-UK color revolution rhetoric have dissolved, exposing the hideous reality of a brutal, cynical, imperialist drive to destroy the modern nation-state itself.

    Rebel Triumvirate of Terror Rules Darna

    According to the London Daily Telegraph of March 26, Darna (also transliterated as Derna or Darnah), a key city in the rebel heartland between Benghazi in Tobruk, is commanded by al-Hasidi, an Al Qaeda terrorist controller who trained and hobnobbed with Osama bin Laden at the Khost terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. Hasidi boasts of having sent 25 fighters to fight US and NATO forces in Afghanistan; one wonders how many they managed to kill. Hasidi was a US prisoner of war after being captured by the Pakistanis, but tells the Wall Street Journal of April 2 that he now hates the US only “less than 50%” hinting that Americans can redeem themselves by appeasing Al Qaeda with arms, money, political power, and diplomatic support. At his side in the city leadership is Sufian bin Kumu, Osama bin Laden’s chauffeur, another terrorist who was an inmate at Guantánamo Bay for six years. Also among the Darna city fathers is al-Barrani, a devoted member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, which merged with Al Qaeda in 2007. This gaggle of fanatics, psychotics, and criminals is billed by the CIA media as an effective ruling elite for the future democratic governance of Libya. In reality, the Benghazi rebel council, heavily larded with Al Qaeda terrorists, could only preside over the descent of the country into a chaos of tribalism, warlords, and criminal syndicates which would spell the end of civilization itself in the area. Precisely this appears to be the goal of US policy, and not just in Libya.

    Darna, Northeast Libya: the World Capital of Terrorist Recruitment

    Nor are these persons atypical. A December 2007 study by the US Military Academy at West Point showed that Libya (population 7 million) provided 20% of all Al Qaeda fighters crossing the Syrian border into Iraq at that time. This same city of Darna (population about 60,000) was the single greatest center of terrorist recruitment anywhere in the world, edging out Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (population 4.5 million); the rebel capital of Benghazi also placed in the top four. Libya sent twice as many terrorists into Iraq per capita as did Saudi Arabia, and 85% of the Libyans who indicated a specialty chose that of suicide bomber.

    The London Economist, BBC Newsnight, and an increasing number of pro-Obama warmonger quackademics are attempting to obscure these plain facts. These are now mellow, pluralist, democratic terrorists, they argue. The CIA limited hangout operation known as Wikileaks has helpfully provided a few doctored cables purporting to show that it was really US support of Qaddafi that drove these fanatics into despair and terrorism — which is also part of the CIA line. On April 1, the Benghazi rebels themselves used the media presence at Friday prayers to hold up signs denying that the rebellion is run by Al Qaeda. If so, let them oust the terror triumvirate of Darna, and reveal the names of the dozen or more anonymous members of the rebel council who are suspected of belonging to Al Qaeda.

    Hillary Clinton concedes she has no “100% insight” into the rebels, and US Admiral Stavridis, the NATO commander, has told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he sees only “flickers” of Al Qaeda. In truth, the central role of Al Qaeda is no flicker, but is as bright as the noonday sun over the Mediterranean

    Four Plagues of Libya

    The Libyan insurrection has four components. The first is provided by the British, and consists of the monarchist and racist Harabi and Obeidat tribes of the Benghazi-Darna-Tobruk corridor, whose traditional culture is that of the obscurantist Senussi Order. During the resistance to Italian colonialism, these tribes allied with the British and were rewarded by seeing the head of the Senussi Order placed on the throne in the person of King Idris I, overthrown by Qaddafi in 1968. Deprived of their role as the monarchist ruling class, these tribes hate the black or dark-skinned pro-Qaddafi Fezzan tribes of southwest Libya, and this has fed into the lynching and massacre of many black Africans from Chad, Mali, and Sudan working in Libya, which the western media have ignored. Enan Obeidi, the woman who claims she was raped by Qaddafi forces, is an Obeidat from Benghazi, and this puts her story into question. For the media, she is a new edition of the Kuwait incubator babies hoax of 1990, made to order to whip up war hysteria against Qaddafi.

    Two ingredients come from the CIA. These are Al Qaeda itself, founded as the CIA’s own Arab Legion against the USSR by then CIA deputy director Robert Gates – the current Defense Secretary– in Afghanistan in 1981-82. Another CIA ingredient is the Libyan National Salvation Front, based first in Sudan and then in Northern Virginia, which is supposedly sending the CIA asset Khalifa Hifter to lead the rebel military, most likely also to cover the presence of the Al Qaeda types.

    A fourth component is contributed by the French, who arranged the defection of top Qaddafi associate Nouri Mesmari last fall, as reported by Maghreb Confidential. A clique of generals around Mesmari helped foment the military mutinies against Qaddafi in northeast Libya.

    And Libya is not unique. In Yemen, Al Qaeda operatives are decisive components of the CIA putsch attempt against President Saleh, which US is promoting in order to fragment Yemen into two or more rump states. Here the Al Qaeda leader is al-Shihri, a Saudi who was freed along with several other Guantánamo inmates and sent to Yemen by the Bush administration, allegedly as a humanitarian gesture, but in reality to provide leadership for the coming destabilization. Also in Yemen is the American-born Anwar Awlaki, known in the trade as Awlaki the CIA lackey, an obvious US double agent who has been used to give the Al Qaeda seal of approval to dozens of terrorists including the Fort Dix six, Major Hasan of Fort Hood, and Mutallab of Nigeria, the Christmas 2009 underwear bomber.

    In Syria, the CIA goal is to deprive Iran of an ally, to isolate Hezbollah, to oust Russia from the Tartus naval station, and to build the power of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the principal force promoting the insurrection so far.

    Demand that the State Department Explain Why the US is Arming Al Qaeda Terrorists

    Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan has rightly warned against the NATO policy of arming the Libyan rebels, since this would be “conducive to terrorism.” Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has also condemned any NATO arming of the rebels. Pope Benedict XVI’s call for a cease-fire goes in the same direction. Russia, Turkey, China, and other governments must now formally demand explanations from the State Department as to why the US is providing the most dangerous international terrorists with modern weapons and training, while proposing to award them large chunks of the $32 billion of frozen Libyan government assets, plus a share in coming oil revenues. This is enough to make the Mediterranean, the Arab world, and southern Europe boil over with refugees, piracy, mayhem, and war. Under Bush and Cheney, the alleged presence of Al Qaeda was used as a pretext for bombings and invasions.

    Under Obama, an overstretched and moribund
    US-UK imperialism is using Al Qaeda as its own irregular infantry in the effort to harass and cripple the nation-states of the world, causing them to disintegrate into a tribal, sectarian, criminal, and warlord chaos. In the current phase, Al Qaeda has resumed its original status as CIA guerrillas. As a result, civilization itself is threatened across vast areas of the globe. If you are skeptical, just take a look at the city council of Darna, Libya.

    Over population.

    .
    .
    .
    .
    Basic problem of many Developing Countries with weak governance that they have not corrected their population problems. India now has 1.2 billion people, far far too many in such a poor country, and with the exception of Indira Gandhi no Indian government has seriously attempted to curb India's rapid rise in population which will reach a staggering 1.5 billion surpassing China in 2025.

    Most Indian cities and general habitations are filthy, squalid, poverty stricken, smelly, dusty, disorganized, noisy, with beggars every where, and cows roaming freely, shitting every where....and with high levels of crime. No wonder only a few million tourists visit this vast country with a very rich heritage.

    India is a "visual feast".....and one does not have to be an economics professor to see the reality of the country.

    The sex ratio imbalance is sad, and only shows the general backwardness and ignorance of the people. However one hopes rather optimistically that demand for girls will rise at a certain critical point, fingers crossed.

    In this failed state desperate scenario, 9% annual growth rates means very little, given the extreme wealth gap between the rich and the poor. In a nation where the elite educate their children in foreign rich countries and deposit their wealth in foreign tax havens.

    SOUTH ASIA, must institute serious population controls or risk social and political instability related to over population. Its not about growing more food, on limited finite land using American designed Monsanto foods, where both Pakistan and India will face serious water shortage problems in the near future, its about controlling the population.

    Though year in year out idiot Indian experts talk about how the young generation will create new demands and markets, pushing the country into rapid further development......however what they fail to mention is the poor governance of the central authorities in Delhi who are unable to utilize the full potential of the state, and that only a few sectors, which are not necessary labor intensive, or ever will are taking the Indian economy ahead allegedly, as stated by the Central government and their statisticians. But how much of that is real growth which is sustainable, and which will create real jobs for the newer generations?

    India's population rises to 1.2 billion: Census of India 2011

    By Times of India via PTI

    India's population rose to 1.21 billion people over the last 10 years — an increase by 181 million, according to the new census released today, but significantly the growth is slower for the first time in nine decades.

    The population, which accounts for world's 17.5 per cent population, comprises 623.7 million males and 586.5 million females, said a provisional 2011 Census report. China is the most populous nation acounting for 19.4 per cent of the global population.

    The country's headcount is almost equal to the combined population of the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan put together, it said.

    The population has increased by more than 181 million during the decade 2001-2011, the report said. The growth rate in 2011 is 17.64 per cent in comparison to 21.15 per cent in 2001.

    The 2001-2011 period is the first decade — with exception of 1911-1921 — which has actually added lesser population compared to the previous decade, Registrar General of India and Census Commissioner of India C Chandramauli said in presence of Home Secretary Gopal K Pillai.

    Among the states and Union territories, Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state with 199 million people and Lakshadweep the least populated at 64,429.

    The combined population of UP and Maharashtra is bigger than that of the US.

    (Read: Major highlights of the Census 2011)

    (Read: Literacy rises by 9.2%, now 74.04%)

    The highest population density is in Delhi's north-east district (37,346 per sq km) while the lowest is in Dibang Valley in Arunachal Pradesh (just one per sq km).

    The Census indicated a continuing preference for male children over female children. The latest child sex ratio in is 914 female against 1,000 male—the lowest since Independence.

    "This is a matter of grave concern," Chandramauli said.

    According to the data, literates constitute 74 per cent of the total population aged seven and above and illiterates form 26 per cent.

    The literacy rate has gone up from 64.83 per cent in 2001 to 74.04 per cent in 2011 showing an increase of 9.21 per cent.

    Moussa Koussa

    Libya's foreign minister Moussa Koussa was in Tunisia on a diplomatic mission.

    On 31 March 2011, we read that he mysteriously arrived at the UK's Farnborough airport before being taken to London.

    Did he defect or was he pressurised? (Libyan foreign minister Moussa Koussa defects to Britain‎)

    Brian has provided some useful links:

    1. Reason for Libyan war? Gaddafi wanted to nationalise oil.

    "On February 16, 2009, Gaddafi ... called on Libyans to back his proposal to dismantle the government and to distribute the oil wealth directly to the 5 million inhabitants of the country.

    "However, his plan to deliver oil revenues directly to the Libyan people met opposition by senior officials who could lose their jobs due to a parallel plan by Gaddafi to rid the state of corruption."





    2. Toward African freedom in Libya and beyond.

    "No one has shouted any louder than Gaddafi that Africa must be for the Africans...

    "Why hasn’t the Western world rolled into Israel or the West Bank and saved the Palestinian people who suffer true slaughter and discrimination at the hands of Israel?"

    3. Libyan Rebel Leader Spent Much of Past 20 Years in Langley Virginia

    Khalifa Hifter, the new leader of Libya's opposition military, spent the past two decades in suburban Virginia.

    4. American Media Silent on CIA Ties to Libya Rebel Commander

    Hifter is CIA.

    5. LIBYA explained.

    Mar 26, 1996 - "Reuters news reports ... state that unrest in ... Eastern Libya is caused by armed rebels... This is an operation to overthrow Gaddafi led by Col. Khalifa Hifter, of a contra-style group based in the United States called the LibyanNational Army."
