US Peace Movement - Cheney Planning False Flag Operation to Attack Iran

Tony Gosling | 28.08.2007 23:46 | Faslane | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Cheney is planning another 911. It would make the twin towers look like a damp firecracker. It's now OFFICIAL! No warnings whispered by intelligence services as before the attacks of 11th September 2001. Don't let them get away with it! Encourage everyone to sign up to this and it may hold back these Neocon Fascist Madmen. As the US Peace movement is taking this up so should we - spread it as far and wide as possible. And ask anyone you think has a bit of clout to sign up too! Send to MP's, Police, Media etc etc. It will be an excuse to attack Iran.

THE KENNEBUNKPORT WARNING
 http://www.911blogger.com/node/10905

(note from Rowan - the presence of Kaminski on the signatory list has caused Jon Gold to get all excited again, and he is organising protests to Tarpley)

To the American people, and to peace loving individuals everywhere:

Massive evidence has come to our attention which shows that the backers, controllers, and allies of Vice President Dick Cheney are determined to orchestrate and manufacture a new 9/11 terror incident, and/or a new Gulf of Tonkin war provocation over the coming weeks and months. Such events would be used by the Bush administration as a pretext for launching an aggressive war against Iran, quite possibly with nuclear weapons, and for imposing a regime of martial law here in the United States. We call on the House of Representatives to proceed immediately to the impeachment of Cheney, as an urgent measure for avoiding a wider and more catastrophic war. Once impeachment has begun, it will be easier for loyal and patriotic military officers to refuse illegal orders coming from the Cheney faction. We solemnly warn the people of the world that any terrorist attack with weapons of mass destruction taking place inside the United States or elsewhere in the immediate future must be considered the prima facie responsibility of the Cheney faction. We urge responsible political leaders everywhere to begin at once to inoculate the public opinion of their countries against such a threatened false flag terror operation.

As an Iranian i am very disappointed in the way BBC has translated president Ahmadinejads speech... this is what he exactly said according to BBC persian:
"we are prepared to fill this power vacuum with the help of our neighbours, regional friends, Saudi Arabia, Iraqi nation and others"
but BBC has translated this " we are prepared to fill in the power vacuum"
stop making Iran look so evil and take some responsibility for the political and military failures in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

This all sounds remarkably familiar! As the propaganda ramps up be on the look out for "documentaries" on US TV titled "Ahmadinejad: The New Hitler," and "Iran's links to 9/11." The amazing thing is that propaganda like this is so effective in the United States.

'Deteriorating'? Could they get much worse?

Any excuse to invade Iran, the next bogeyman on the list. If it's not the nuclear power programme it'll be arming insurgents. The WMD excuse has already been used.

Didn't a lot of US companies/barons financially support the IRA during the troubles, by the way? Has anyone asked Bush about this?

Should we invade the US? I feel we have a moral obligation to stop this crusading warmonger and make the world a safer place.

Anyone getting a sense of Deja Vu here. The buildup is almost exactly the same. The inspectors have struck an accord with Iran and are working to solve unresolved issues - but US diplomats call it a smokescreen! These people are only interested in war and further conflict.

Bush is looking for war and is heading down the same road. And everyone seems to be falling for it again. Why don't the American people learn? What will it take before people wake-up and hold his accountable for once

Bush, as usual, doesn't know what he's talking about. The U.S. are the ones who invaded Iraq, not Iran! Why is it O.K. for the U.S. to send troops into Iraq, steal their oil, and make a mess of their once stable and progressive country?

Iran, as far as I know, never in recent memory invaded any country. The same cannot be said for Israel, or the U.S! The U.S. are the insurgents!

Mr Bush, please stop playing loose with the facts!!!

Quite how the title, the open letter and the subsequently posted evidence all tie in has been left to the imagination of the reader- perhaps that was the desired effect.

The title goes beyond the open letter. The open letter doesn't offer any insight into its evidence. And the only alleged evidence posted doesn't support the position either of the title or letter- the document is just a series of cut & paste news articles with no discernible structure let alone thesis.

Perhaps if the original poster could actually write something that lives up to the title or the letter or the "evidence" and post again?



HOWEVER, this document that cited early in that other document makes grim and depressing reading and well worth a story in its own right:

 http://www.rawstory.com/images/other/IranStudy082807a.pdf

"The study concludes that the US has made military preparations to
destroy Iran’s WMD, nuclear energy, regime, armed forces, state apparatus and
economic infrastructure within days if not hours of President George W. Bush
giving the order. The US is not publicising the scale of these preparations to
deter Iran, tending to make confrontation more likely. The US retains the option
of avoiding war, but using its forces as part of an overall strategy of shaping
Iran’s actions."

"General Wesley Clark claims that he became aware of the Bush Administration’s instructions concerning the overthrow of the Iranian regime in September 2001. He states that he was told this in the Pentagon by a serving General holding the order in his hand."

"Any nuclear attack on Iran is unlikely and hard to conceive, still less the use of nuclear weapons by the nations in what the British call the “special relationship”. Nevertheless were the US to use nuclear weapons it might well seek UK participation for the same reasons it does on other occasions."

"The regime in Tehran has already complained of US- and UK-inspired terror attacks in several Iranian regions where the population opposes the ayatollahs' fanatical policies. Such reports corroborate the American journalist Seymour Hersh's claim that the US military is already engaged in a low-level war with Iran."

"The UK government has a clear position that Iran should not become a nuclear weapon state. The ambiguity over Iran’s real nuclear programme in contrast to Iraq’s mythical programme and the simplicity of the claim to be preventing the ovens of Auschwitz arriving in Tel Aviv in the form of an Iranian nuclear bomb means that there is a powerful political message."

"If the attack is “successful” and the US reasserts its global military dominance and reduces Iran to the status of an oil-rich failed state, then the risks to humanity in general and to the states of the Middle East are grave indeed."


"If the attack is pursued with the skill of the Iraq campaign then we face major and unpredictable escalation arising from the fallacy of attempting to make “the last move” on the political game board. Should Iranians rally to their battered state regardless of their, then what has been seen in Iraq will merely become an overture to a larger regional war, and one where a blip in oil prices becomes a prolonged global recession. Regional instability that might follow “victory” will be magnified. The Shakespearean quote, “cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war” expresses the simple rule that wars, like fires are far easier to start than to contain or put out."

This letter is a hoax

29.08.2007 14:37

This letter is a hoax. I emailed Dahlia Wasfi about it and this was his response:

Dear Brendan,
Thank you for writing. I did not sign that statement, and I've written the author to that effect. In fact, in an email exchange, I, Cindy Sheehan, and Jamilla El-Shafei all refuted signing such a statement.

Many thanks for your support.
In solidarity,
Dahlia


It is a hoax! One website posted it two days ago and now every conspiracy website on the net is posting it as if it is fact. Yet nobody has actually gone to the trouble of fact-checking the letter. Everyone is just copying and pasting the original letter like un-thinking lemings. I thought that the 911-truth movement was supposed to be for critical-thinking people!

Strange...

People in the 9/11 truth movement have been asking where the "massive evidence" is and have noted that some people who's names are on this never actually put their names to it:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

More to indicate....

that this work is indeed fraudulent, deceptive piece of dis-information. My good friend and colleague, Michael Anderson of Colorado 9-11 Visibility has contacted one of the "signatories" of this piece of work, Dahlia Wasfi. Not only is this work a fraud and a fake, at least one of the "signatories" has denied signing it. Here is Dahlia's response. re: Kennebunkport Warning:

Hey Michael--

I didn't sign this.

I don't know about the validity of this "warning," but the people who put this list together were dishonest about signatories. They took our signatures for something else and put it on this. Very weird.

Love, Dahlia

I am very curious as to why is Webster Tarpley spreading this around, putting his name on it, without verifying even the people who supposedly signed it, let alone any of the information contained therein. Sloppy work Webster. Was this an accident?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Whomever did this...

Is scum. Absolute scum. This should be taken down immediately, and a statement issued regarding it.

Who wrote this warning? Who was the one responsible for obtaining signatures? I know who was responsible for supplying the "evidence" behind the claims, and who is also a signatory.
