By the way does anyone know if GW/Crassius had any real estate

FAKE TERROR - THE ROAD TO
DICTATORSHIP
By M. Rivero
It's the oldest trick in the
book, dating back to Roman times; creating the enemies you need.
In 70 BC, an ambitious minor politician and extremely wealthy
man, Marcus Licineus Crassus, wanted to rule Rome. Just to give you an idea of
what sort of man Crassus really was, he is credited with invention of the fire
brigade. But in Crassus' version, his fire-fighting slaves would race to the
scene of a burning building whereupon Crassus would offer to buy it on the spot
for a tiny fraction of it's worth. If t! he owner sold, Crassus' slaves would
put out the fire. If the owner refused to sell, Crassus allowed the building to
burn to the ground. By means of this device, Crassus eventually came to be the
largest single private land holder in Rome, and used some of his wealth to help
back Julius Caesar against Cicero.
In 70 BC Rome was still a Republic,
which placed very strict limits on what Rulers could do, and more importantly
NOT do. But Crassus had no intentions of enduring such limits to his personal
power, and contrived a plan.
Crassus seized upon the slave revolt led by
Spartacus in order to strike terror into the hearts of Rome, whose garrison
Spartacus had already defeated in battle. But Spartacus had no intention of
marching on Rome itself, a move he knew to be suicidal. Spartacus and his band
wanted nothing to do with the Roman empire and had planned from the start merely
to loot enough money from their former owners in the Italian countryside to hire
a me! rcenary fleet in which to sail to freedom.
Sailing away was the
last thing Crassus wanted Spartacus to do. He needed a convenient enemy with
which to terrorize Rome itself for his personal political gain. So Crassus
bribed the mercenary fleet to sail without Spartacus, then positioned two Roman
legions in such a way that Spartacus had no choice but to march on Rome.
Terrified of the impending arrival of the much-feared army of
gladiators, Rome declared Crassus Praetor. Crassus then crushed Spartacus' army
and even though Pompeii took the credit, Crassus was elected Consul of Rome the
following year.
With this maneuver, the Romans surrendered their
Republican form of government. Soon would follow the first Triumvirate,
consisting of Crassus, Pompeii, and Julius Caesar, followed by the reign of the
god-like Emperors of Rome.
The Romans were hoaxed into surrendering
their Republic, and accepting the rule of Emperors.
Julius
Caesar! 's political opponent, Cicero, for all his literary accomplishments,
played the same games in his campaign against Julius Caesar, claiming that Rome
was falling victim to an internal "vast right wing" conspiracy in which any
expressed desire for legislative limits on government was treated as suspicious
behavior. Cicero, in order to demonstrate to the Romans just how unsafe Rome has
become hired thugs to cause as much disturbance as possible, and campaigned on a
promise to end the internal strife if elected and granted extraordinary powers.
What Cicero only dreamed of, Adolph Hitler succeeded in doing.
Elected Chancellor of Germany, Hitler, like Crassus, had no intention of living
with the strict limits to his power imposed by German law. Unlike Cicero,
Hitler's thugs were easy to recognize; they all wore the same brown shirts. But
their actions were no different than those of their Roman predecessors. They
staged beatings, set fires, caused as much trouble a! s they could, while Hitler
made speeches promising that he could end the crime wave of subversives and
terrorism if he was granted extraordinary powers.
Then the Reichstagg
burned down; a staged terrorist attack.
The Germans were hoaxed
into surrendering their Republic, and accepting the total rule of Der Fuhrer.
The state-sponsored schools will never tell you this, but governments
routinely rely on hoaxes to sell their agendas to an otherwise reluctant public.
The Romans accepted the Emperors and the Germans accepted Hitler not because
they wanted to, but because the carefully crafted illusions of threat appeared
to leave no other choice.
Our government too uses hoaxes to create the
illusion that We The People have no choice but the direction the government
wishes us to go in.
In 1898, Joseph Pulitzer's New York World
and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal were arguing for American
intervention in Cuba. Hearst ! is reported to have dispatched a photographer to
Cuba to photograph the coming war with Spain. When the photographer asked just
what war that might be, Hearst is reported to have replied, "You take the
photographs, and I will provide the war". Hearst was true to his word, as his
newspaper published stories of great atrocities being committed against the
Cuban people, most of which turned out to be complete fabrications.
On
the night of February 15, 1898, the USS Maine, lying in Havana harbor in a show
of US resolve to protect her interests, exploded violently. Captain Sigsbee, the
commander of the Maine, urged that no assumptions of enemy attack be made until
there was a full investigation of the cause of the explosion. For this, Captain
Sigsbee was excoriated in the press for "refusing to see the obvious". The
Atlantic Monthly declared flat out that to suppose the explosion to be anything
other than a deliberate act by Spain was "completely at defiance of the laws o!
f probability".
Under the slogan "Remember the Maine", Americans went to
war with Spain, eventually winning the Phillipines (and annexing Hawaii along
the way).
In 1975, an investigation led by Admiral Hyman Rickover
examined the data recovered from a 1911 examination of the wreck and concluded
that there had been no evidence of an external explosion. The most likely cause
of the sinking was a coal dust explosion in a coal bunker imprudently located
next to the ship's magazines. Captain Sigsbee's caution had been well founded.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt needed a war. He needed the
fever of a major war to mask the symptoms of a still deathly ill economy
struggling back from the Great Depression (and mutating towards Socialism at the
same time). Roosevelt wanted a war with Germany to stop Hitler, but despite
several provocations in the Atlantic, the American people, still struggling with
that troublesome economy, were opposed to any war! s. Roosevelt violated
neutrality with lend lease, and even ordered the sinking of several German ships
in the Atlantic, but Hitler refused to be provoked.
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 t! he 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 it's 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.
To enrage the American people as much as possible, Roosevelt needed the
first overt attack by Japan to be as bloody as possible, appearing as a sneak
attack much as the Japanese had done to the Russians. From that moment up until
the attack on Pearl Harbor itself, Roosevelt and his associates made sure that
the commanders in Hawaii, General Short and Admiral Kimmel, were kept in ! the
dark as much as possible about the location of the Japanese fleet and it's
intentions, then later scapegoated for the attack. (Congress recently exonerated
both Short and Kimmel, posthumously restoring them to their former ranks).
But as the Army board had concluded at the time, and subsequent
de-classified documents confirmed, Washington DC knew the attack was coming,
knew exactly where the Japanese fleet was, and knew where it was headed.
On November 29th, Secretary of State Hull showed United Press reporter
Joe Leib a message with the time and place of the attack, and the New York Times
in it's special 12/8/41 Pearl Harbor edition, on page 13, reported that the time
and place of the attack had been known in advance!
The much
repeated claim that the Japanese fleet maintained radio silence on it's way to
Hawaii was a lie. Among other intercepts still held in the Archives of the NSA
is the UNCODED message sent by the Japanese tanker Shirya! stating, "proceeding
to a position 30.00 N, 154.20 E. Expect to arrive at that point on 3 December."

President Lyndon Johnson wanted a war in Vietnam. He
wanted it to help his friends who owned defense companies to do a little
business. He needed it to get the Pentagon and CIA to quit trying to invade
Cuba. And most of all, he needed a provocation to convince the American people
that there was really "no other choice".
On August 5, 1964, newspapers
across America reported "renewed attacks" against American destroyers operating
in Vietnamese waters, specifically the Gulf of Tonkin. The official story was
that North Vietnamese torpedo boats launched an "unprovoked attack" on the USS
Maddox while it was on "routine patrol".
The truth is that USS Maddox
was involved in aggressive intelligence gathering in coordination with actual
attacks by South Vietnam and the Laotian Air Force against targets in North
Vietnam. The truth is also that ! there was no attack by torpedo boats against
the USS Maddox. Captain John J. Herrick, the task force commander in the Gulf,
cabled Washington DC that the report was the result of an "over-eager" sonarman
who had picked up the sounds of his own ship's screws and panicked. But even
with this knowledge that the report was false, Lyndon Johnson went on national
TV that night to announce the commencement of air strikes against North Vietnam,
"retaliation" for an attack that had never occurred.
President
George Bush wanted a war in Iraq. Like Crassus, George Bush is motivated by
money. Specifically oil money. But with the OPEC alliance failing to keep limits
on oil production in the Mideast, the market was being glutted with oil pumped
from underneath Iraq, which sat over roughly 1/3 of the oil reserves of the
entire region.
George wanted a war to stop that flow of oil, to keep
prices (and profits) from falling any further than they already had. But like
Ro! osevelt, he needed the "other side" to make the first move.
Iraq had
long been trying to acquire greater access to the Persian Gulf, and felt limited
confined a narrow strip of land along Kuwait's northern border, which placed
Iraqi interests in close proximity with hostile Iran. George Bush, who had been
covertly arming Iraq during its war with Iran, sent word via April Glaspie that
the United States would not intervene if Saddam Hussein grabbed a larger part of
Kuwait. Saddam fell for the bait and invaded.
Of course, Americans were
not about to send their sons and daughters to risk their lives for petroleum
products. So George Bush arranged a hoax, using a public relations firm which
has grown rich on taxpayer money by being most industrious and creative liars!
The PR firm concocted a monumental fraud in which the daughter of the Kuwaiti
Ambassador to the United States, went on TV pretending to be a nurse, and
related a horror story in which Iraqi troops lo! oted the incubators from a
Kuwaiti hospital, leaving the premature babies on the cold floor to die. The
media, part of the swindle from the start, never bothered asking why the "nurse"
didn't just pick the babies up and wrap them in blankets or something.
Enraged by the incubator story, Americans supported operation Desert
Storm, which never removed Saddam Hussein from power but which did take Kuwait's
oil off of the market for almost 2 years and limited Iraq's oil exports to this
very day. That our sons and daughters came home with serious and lingering
medical illnesses was apparently not too great a price to pay for increased oil
profits.
Following the victory in Iraq, yet another war appeared
to be in the offering in the mineral rich regions of Bosnia. Yet again, a hoax
was used to create support for military action.
The above photo of
Fikret Alic staring through a barbed wire fence, was used to "prove" the
existance of modern day "Concent! ration Camps". As the headline of "Belsen 92"
indicates, all possible associations with the Nazi horrors were made to sell the
necessity of sending yet more American troops into someone else's nation.
But when German Journalists went to Trnopolje, the site of the supposed
Concentration Camp. to film a documentary, they discovered that the photo was a
fake! The camp at Trnopolje was not a concentration camp but a refugee center.
Nor was it surrounded by barbed wire. Careful examination of the original photo
revealed that the photographer had shot the photo through a broken section of
fence surrounding a tool shed. It was the photographer who was on the inside,
shooting out at the refugees.
Once again, Americans had been hoaxed into
support of actions they might otherwise not have agreed with.
While several American Presidents have willingly started wars
for personal purposes, perhaps no President has ever carried it to the extreme
that Bill Cli! nton has.
Coincident with the expected public
statement of Monica Lewinsky following her testimony, Bill Clinton ordered a
cruise missile attack on Sudan and Afghanistan, claiming to have had irrefutable
proof that bogeyman extraordinaire (and former Afghani ally) Osama Bin Ladin was
creating terrorist chemical weapons there.
Examination of the photos of
the debris revealed none of the expected structures one would find in a
laboratory that handled lethal weapons-grade materials. Assurances from the CIA
that they had a positive soil test for biological weapons fell on their face
when it was revealed that there had been no open soil anywhere near the
pre-bombed facility. Sudan requested that international observers come test the
remains of the factory for any signs of the nerve gas Clinton had insisted was
there. None was found. The Sudanese plant was a harmless aspirin factory, and
the owner has sued for damages.
Later examination of t! he site
hit in Afghanistan revealed it to be a mosque.

Meanwhile, back in Kosovo, stories about genocide and atrocities were
flooding the media (in time to distract from the Sudanese embarrassments), just
as lurid and sensational and as it turns out often just as fictional as most of
William Randolph Hearst's stories of atrocities against the Cubans.
Again, the government and the media were hoaxing Americans. The above
photo was shown on all the American networks, claiming to be one of Slobodan
Milosovic's Migs, shot down while attacking civilians. Closer examination (click
on the photo) shows it to be stenciled in English!
Like Germany under
Chancellor Hitler, there have been events in our nation which strike fear into
the hearts of the citizens, such as the New York World Trade Tower bombing, the
OK City Federal Building, and the Olympic Park bomb (nicely timed to divert the
media from witnesses to the TWA 800 shoot do! wn). The media has been very quick
to blame such events on "radicals", "subversives", "vast right wing
conspiracies", and other "enemies in our midst", no different than the lies used
by Cicero and Hitler.
But on closer examination, such "domestic
terrorist" events do not appear to be what they are made out to be. The FBI had
an informant inside the World Trade Tower bombers, Emad Salam, who offered to
sabotage the bomb. The FBI told him "no". The so-called "hot bed" of white
separatism at Elohim City, occasional home to Tim McVeigh in the weeks prior to
the OK City bombing, was founded and is being run by an FBI informant!

And nobody has ever really explained what
this second Ryder truck was doing in a secret camp half way from Elohim City to
Oklahoma City two weeks before the bombing.
So, here we are today. Like
the Romans of Crassus' and Cicero's time, or the Germans under a newly elected
Hitler, we are being warned t! hat a dangerous enemy threatens us, implacable,
invisible, omnipresent, and invulnerable as long as our government is hamstrung
by that silly old Bill of Rights. Already there have appeared articles debating
whether or not "extraordinary measures" (i.e. torture) are not fully justified
under certain circumstances such as those we are purported to face.
As
was the case in Rome and Germany, the government continues to plead with the
public for an expansion of its power and authority, to "deal with the crisis".
However, as Casio watch timers are paraded before the cameras, to the
stentorian tones of the talking heads' constant dire warnings, it is legitimate
to question just how real the crises is, and how much is the result of political
machinations by our own leaders.
Are the terrorists really a threat, or
just hired actors with bombs and Casio watches, paid for by Cicero and given
brown shirts to wear by Hitler?
Is terrorism inside the United ! States
really from outside, or is it a stage managed production, designed to cause
Americans to believe they have no choice but to surrender the Republic and
accept the totalitarian rule of a new emperor, or a new Fuhrer?
Once
lost, the Romans never got their Republic back. Once lost, the Germans never got
their Republic back. In both cases, the nation had to totally collapse before
freedom was restored to the people.
Remember that when Crassus tells you
that Sparticus approaches.
Remember that when thugs in the streets act
in a manner clearly designed to provoke the public fear.
Remember that
when the Reichstag burns down.
