European intelligence experts dismiss the Bush "war on terrorism" as
deception and reveal the realpolitik behind the aggression against
Afghanistan.
Berlin - In Germany, where war plans for Afghanistan were already
being discussed in July and where several of the "Arab hijackers"
lived and studied, intelligence experts say the terror attacks of
September 11 could not have been carried out without the support of
a state secret service.
Eckehardt Werthebach, former president of Germany's domestic
intelligence service, Verfassungsschutz, told AFP that "the deathly
precision" and "the magnitude of planning" behind the attacks of
September 11 would have needed "years of planning."
Such a sophisticated operation, Werthebach said, would require the
"fixed frame" of a state intelligence organization, something not
found in a "loose group" of terrorists like the one allegedly led by
Mohammed Atta while he studied in Hamburg.
Many people would have been involved in the planning of such an
operation and Werthebach pointed to the absence of leaks as further
indication that the attacks were "state organized actions."
Andreas von Bulow served on the parliamentary commission which
oversees the three branches of the German secret service while a
member of the Bundestag (German parliament) from 1969 to 1994, and
wrote a book titled Im Namen des Staates (In the Name of the State)
on the criminal activities of secret services, including the CIA.
Von Bulow told AFP that he believes that the Israeli intelligence
service, Mossad, is behind the September 11 terror attacks. These
attacks, he said, were carried out to turn public opinion against
the Arabs, and boost military and security spending.
"You don't get the higher echelons," von Bulow said, referring to
the "architectural structure" which masterminds such terror attacks.
At this level, he said, the organization doing the planning, such as
Mossad, is primarily interested in affecting public opinion.
The architectural level planners use corrupt "guns for hire" such as
Abu Nidal, the Palestinian terrorist who von B'low called "an
instrument of Mossad," high-ranking Stasi (former East German secret
service) operatives, or Libyan agents who organize terror attacks
using dedicated people, for example Palestinian and Arab "freedom
fighters."
The terrorists who actually commit the crimes are what von Bulow
calls "the working level," such as the 19 Arabs who allegedly
hijacked the planes on September 11. "The working level is part of
the deception," he said.
"Ninety-five percent of the work of the intelligence agencies around
the world is deception and disinformation," von Bulow said, which is
widely propagated in the mainstream media creating an accepted
version of events. "Journalists don't even raise the simplest
questions," he said adding, "those who differ are labeled as crazy."
Both Werthebach and von Bulow said the lack of an open and official
investigation, such as congressional hearings, into the events of
September 11 was incomprehensible.
AFP asked von Bulow about the Taliban's ban on opium production:
"Seventy percent of the drug trade is licensed by the intelligence
agencies," von B'low said, and they are interested in keeping the
drug traffic "running through their mills."
"The BND (German secret service) is steered by the CIA and the CIA
is steered by Mossad," von Bulow said.
Horst Ehmke, who coordinated the German secret services directly
under German prime minister Willi Brandt in the 70s, predicted a
similar terrorist attack in his novel, Torches of Heaven, published
last year, in which Turkish terrorists crash hijacked planes into
Berlin.
EERIE PREDICTIONS
Although Ehmke had long expected "fundamentalist attacks," when he
saw the televised images from September 11, he said it looked like a
"Hollywood production."
"Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation with 4
hijacked planes without the support of a secret service," Ehmke
said, although he did not want to point to any particular agency.
"The most important thing in the struggle against terrorists, who
are abusing religion, is the battle for the soul of the people and
the nations," Ehmke said. "If this isn't resolved successfully, the
21st Century could be bloodier than the last."
A former Stasi agent who had warned the German secret service of
terror attacks in America between September 10-20 told AFP that a
high ranking Stasi chief named Jurgen Rogalla, who is "an airplane
terror specialist," was probably involved in the attacks of
September 11 along with Abu Nidal.
Both Nidal and Rogalla work with the Mossad, the former agent told
AFP. Nidal, was said to be in Baghdad, and is a "leading officer for
some Mossad agents." The agent said that Nidal was "involved
directly" in the events of September 11.
September 11 was preparation for a larger attack on the United
States, which is part of "an old plan," the agent said. Based on
prior knowledge of this plan, the agent said that more attacks are
imminent and that aircraft carriers may be targeted next. Rogalla is
also strongly anti-religious and attacks on cathedrals or places of
religious significance before Christmas are likely.
Rogalla was responsible for "turning NATO men" to spy for the East.
One of the East's NATO spies, Reiner Rupp, known as "Topaz,"
provided Stasi and the Russians with the organization's highest
secrets until he was discovered in 1993 by the BND. A CIA agent
known as "Frank Lindsey" worked with Rogalla, according to the
former Stasi agent.
TERROR INVESTIGATION BLOCKED
Under the influence of U.S. oil companies, the administration of
George W. Bush blocked U.S. secret service investigations on
terrorism, while it bargained with the Taliban to turn over Osama
bin Laden in exchange for political recognition and economic aid,
two French intelligence analysts claim.
In a recently published book, "Bin Laden, la verite interdite" (Bin
Laden, the forbidden truth), the authors, Jean-Charles Brisard and
Guillaume Dasquie, reveal that the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
deputy director John O'Neill resigned in July in protest due to
official obstruction of his investigation of terrorism.
O'Neill had been in charge of national security in New York. While
with the FBI, O'Neill led an investigation of Osama bin Laden and
had forecast the possibility of an organized attack by terrorists
operating from within the country.
O'Neill had investigated the USS Cole bombing in Yemen, the bombings
of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the 1993 World Trade
Center bombing. In 1995, FBI agents working under O'Neill captured
Ramzi Yousef, a suspected lieutenant of bin Laden, who later was
among those convicted for the World Trade Center bombing.
O'Neill was considered a top-notch investigator and was known for
his pugnacity. He was barred by U.S. Ambassador to Yemen Barbara
Bodine from that country. That dispute reportedly involved a
struggle between the State Department, which sought to preserve
relations with Yemen, and the FBI, represented by O'Neill, who
wanted access to Yemeni suspects.
O'Neill, 49, was hired as chief of security at the World Trade
Center following a 25-year career with the FBI and died on Sept. 11,
the first day of his new job. O'Neill reportedly died after
reentering the building to assist others.
Brisard said O'Neill told them that "the main obstacles to
investigate Islamic terrorism were U.S. oil corporate interests and
the role played by Saudi Arabia in it."
EARLY WARNINGS
Osama bin Laden and the Taliban received threats of possible
American military strikes against them two months before the
terrorist assaults on New York and Washington, according to The
Guardian (UK).
The warnings to the Taliban originated at a four-day meeting of
senior Americans, Russians, Iranians and Pakistanis at a hotel in
Berlin in mid-July. The meetings took place under the arbitration of
Francesc Vendrell, personal representative of UN secretary general
Kofi Annan, to discuss the situation in Afghanistan.
The three Americans at the Berlin meeting were Tom Simons, former US
ambassador to Pakistan, Karl "Rick" Inderfurth, a former assistant
secretary of state for south Asian affairs, and Lee Coldren, who
headed the office of Pakistan, Afghan and Bangladesh affairs in the
state department until 1997.
There were other meetings arranged by Vendrell in which
"representatives of the U.S. government and Russia, and the six
countries that border with Afghanistan were present," according to
the French authors. "Sometimes, representatives of the Taliban also
sat around the table."
The Berlin conference was the third meeting since November 2000
arranged by Mr. Vendrell. As a UN meeting, its official agenda was
supposedly confined to trying to find a negotiated solution to the
civil war in Afghanistan, ending terrorism and heroin trafficking,
and discussing humanitarian aid.
CARPET OF GOLD -- OR BOMBS
The U.S. government's primary objective in Afghanistan was to
consolidate the position of the Taliban regime in order to obtain
access to the oil and gas reserves of Central Asia, the French
authors wrote.
Until August, the U.S. government saw the Taliban regime "as a
source of stability in Central Asia that would enable the
construction of an oil pipeline across Central Asia," from the rich
oilfields in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, through
Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the Indian Ocean, they said.
"The oil and gas reserves of Central Asia have been controlled by
Russia. The Bush government wanted to change all that," the book
says. When the Taliban refused to accept U.S. conditions, "this
rationale of energy security changed into a military one."
"The Americans indicated to us that in case the Taliban does not
behave and in case Pakistan also doesn't help us to influence the
Taliban, then the United States would be left with no option but to
take an overt action against Afghanistan," said Niaz Naik, a former
foreign minister of Pakistan, who attended the meetings.
On French television, Naik said during the "6+2" meeting in Berlin
in July, the discussions turned around "the formation of a
government of national unity. If the Taliban had accepted this
coalition, they would have immediately received international
economic aid."
"And the pipe lines from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan would have come,"
he added.
Naik also claimed that Tom Simons, the U.S. representative at these
meetings, openly threatened the Taliban and Pakistan.
"Simons said, 'either the Taliban behave as they ought to, or
Pakistan convinces them to do so, or we will use another option'.
The words Simons used were 'a military operation'," Naik said.
"At one moment during the negotiations, the U.S. representatives
told the Taliban, 'either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold,
or we bury you under a carpet of bombs'," Brisard said in an
interview in Paris.
According to the book, the government of Bush began to negotiate
with the Taliban immediately after coming into power in February.
U.S. and Taliban diplomatic representatives met several times in
Washington, Berlin and Islamabad.
To polish their image in the United States, the Taliban even
employed a U.S. expert on public relations, Laila Helms. The authors
claim that Helms is also an expert in the works of U.S. secret
services, for her uncle, Richard Helms, is a former director of the
CIA.
