The article
claims what General Wesley Clark is actually not - a Protestant.
The 'mad
bomber of the Balkans' who tried to start WW III is a convert to
Catholicism.
Raised as a
Protestant in Little Rock, Arkansas, he converted to Catholicism during its
Vietnamese Inquisition.
He learned his
trade there by killing Buddhists and later applied the experience gained to the
murder of Serb and Muslim men, women, children and babies in the
Balkans.

Who
is General Tommy Franks?
Christopher Bollyn - American Free Press
If any question why we died
Tell them because our fathers
lied.

“Overall command is [U.S.] General Tommy
Franks, the four-star general,” Spencer said. “Tommy Franks will work jointly
with Air Marshall Brian Burridge, Britain’s National Contingent Commander.”
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is a “unified joint command,” which has
developed from the concept of the Rapid Reaction Task Force initiated by
President Ronald Reagan. Central Command is under the direct command of only
three men: U.S. President George W. Bush, the Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld, and General Tommy Franks.
CENTCOM has no forces of its own.
Troops and assets from the various branches of the military are allocated to
Franks’ command in order to carry out his mandate. Franks has been mentioned
as the man who will govern Iraq in the event that U.S. and British military
forces occupy the Middle Eastern state of some 25 million people.
Spokesmen of CENTCOM refuse to answer questions about Franks’
background, which is very sketchy, and few details are found in any of the
published biographical sources. Biographical entries about Franks are quite
unusual in that they do not include the names of his parents or his religion.
Asked about why so little information is available about the man who
will lead U.S. armed forces in war, a Defense Dept. spokesman said: “He’s had
his bio out that he wants to put out. He has certain rights.”
“Because
we are in a different age, that is force protection,” Pentagon spokesman Dan
Hetlage said about the secrecy behind Franks’ background. “That’s a personal
decision [to release personal information]. It makes no difference [his
religion]. He takes his orders from the President. Would it make a difference
if Gen. Franks or Gen. Hetlage were in command?”
Franks is said to be
the only child of Ray, a Wynnewood, Okla., construction worker, and Lorene, a
seamstress and homemaker. Soon after his birth in 1945, his family is said to
have relocated to George W. Bush's former hometown of Midland, Texas, where
Franks was a lineman on the high school football squad, who apparently made
little impression. When Franks first surfaced as the commander of CENTCOM,
journalists could find no one in Midland who could actually remember him
having lived there.
An archivist in Midland checked the town records
for American Free Press and found the Franks family listed only from 1955 to
1962, during which time Ray Franks worked at a local hardware store. Oddly,
from 1945 to 1955 there is no mention of the Franks family in Midland records,
according to the archivist. The same year Tommy finished high school, the
family apparently disappeared from Midland records.
Having attended
the same high school in Midland as the president’s wife, Laura Bush, Franks
moved to Austin where he attended University of Texas for about two years
before dropping out and joining the army. After serving in Vietnam, Franks was
selected to participate in the Army's "Boot Strap Degree Completion Program,"
and subsequently attended the University of Texas, Arlington, where he
graduated with a degree in Business Administration in 1971.
Franks
collected three Purple Hearts in Vietnam although how he was injured is not a
matter of public record.
After a long career in the army, Franks, who
is an artillery specialist, was promoted to general by former Secretary of
Defense William Cohen and placed in charge of Central Command, which is
responsible for the entire Middle East area.
“My faith in God is
important,” Franks said in an interview, however, it is not known which faith
he belongs to. Although it has been said that Franks is of Russian Jewish
extraction, the son or grandson of Khazar Jewish refugees from the Soviet
Union, like Gen. Wesley Kanne Clark (who was raised as a Protestant in Little
Rock), the religious and ethnic background of Tommy Franks is simply not
known.
“That in itself says a lot,” independent investigator James W.
von Brunn of Easton, Maryland, told AFP. “He’s hiding something,” Von Brunn
said. Having conducted “an intensive search” into Frank’s background von Brunn
“was unable to find anything.”
