Headlines of note for September 2014...

We begin with some dated headlines, revisiting previous Septembers. This month in recent history has been rife with terror attacks not just for the USA, but for Russia.

Some suggest western backing for these attacks, in the form of logistic, material and "moral" support and protection of Chechen rebels...

Heralding the Rise of Russia: The West Masterminded Chechen War to Destroy USSR and Russia

Others say terrorism within Russia is self-inflicted for the advancement of imperial ambitions. It is so alleged of the series of apartment bombings of 15 years ago...

Blowing Up Russia: Terrorism From Within -Written and directed by Yuri Felshtinsky and Alexander Litvinenko.

We know what happened to Litvinenko in London in November of 2006. What is less known however is the connection that Litvinenko had with MI6...

Independent (Nov. 29, 2013): Murdered spy Alexander Litvinenko gave MI6 secret briefings about key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin

Guardian (Dec. 14, 2012): Alexander Litvinenko accusation puts MI6 in an unflattering light

Litvinenko's widow, Marina, articulated her belief that MI6 failed to protect him. Her counsel, Ben Emmerson, said: "Mr Litvinenko had been for a number of years a regular and paid agent and employee of MI6 with a dedicated handler whose pseudonym was Martin."

Or of his conversion to Islam and support of Chechen separatists...

Wayne Madsen Report: December 4, 2006 -- New wrinkle in Litvinenko murder

The following dispatch came from the Chechenpress.org, a Chechen news web site, on November 24 [2006]:


The communication from London the day before at night arrived to us of the poisoning and passing away of Aleksandr Litvinenko. A. Litvinenko it was poisoned on 1 November. Doctors struggled for the life of A. Litvinenko, however, it was impossible to save him. Meanwhile, a while back Litvinenko accepted Islam and all Moslem rites were carried out before his death. A specially invited mullah read over the dying Litvinenko the 'Sura Yasin' [key passage from the Koran]. Aleksandr Litvinenko will be buried in a Moslem cemetery, with the observance of all proper rituals. Nearing death, and understanding that his killers are Putin and his criminal clique, Aleksandr Litvinenko requested to transmit to the Mujahadeen of Chechnya and Caucasus that they understand him as their brother in the weapon [emphasis added] and he requested to the Most High Allah for themselves the future of martyr (insha Allah)."

The Chechen press release reference to "the weapon" may have been hinting at a project to build a radioactive "dirty bomb" by Litvinenko. London's Observer surmised as much in a December 3 report: "Among the theories that remain open is that the poisonings were an accident that happened while Litvinenko tried to assemble a dirty bomb for Chechen rebels. Those who know him believe he was crazy enough to attempt such a thing and, in the past week, some have implicated him in the smuggling of nuclear materials from Russia."

Given his contacts with MI-6 and his support of Chechen rebels, and "crazy enough" to have possibly attempted the development of a dirty bomb, the question is raised as to what Litvinenko may have known about the Beslan school massacre of ten years ago this month...

RIANovosti: Beslan - Deadly Nightmare on the First Day of School

There are, as with the Moscow apartment bombings, allegations of false-flag terror on the part of FSB (formerly KGB) in this case...

Russophobe (translation of Novaya Gazeta): Beslan and KGB

A curiously timed outage at Ft. Mead however points to the involvement of western intelligence services...

WMR: October 31, 2007 -- NSA "Went Dark" on Caucasus Region Hours Before Beslan Attack

According to sources at the National Security Agency (NSA), hours before a group of Chechen separatists took 1200 children and adults hostage at a school in Beslan, in the Russian republic of North Ossetia-Alania, NSA intercepts of INMARSAT (International Maritime Satellite) and cell phone traffic in the region “went dark.” Analysts at NSA and the Medina Regional SIGINT Operations Center (MRSOC) in San Antonio, Texas had been monitoring cell phone and INMARSAT phone traffic in Beslan but all communications intercepts of traffic suddenly ceased...

...Russia linked some of the hostage takers to Islamist exiles in London, where the now much-adored former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko was assisting Russian-Israeli mobster/tycoon Boris Berezovsky to help Chechen and other anti-Russian forces to help topple the Putin government in Moscow. Litvinenko later died from polonium poisoning, an act blamed on Putin but appears to have been a Russian-Israeli mafia hit designed to eliminate an uncomfortable witness to dubious and illegal activities by the Russian-Israeli mafia based in London, Tel Aviv, and New York...

The fact that the NSA’s sophisticated surveillance platforms “went dark,” in an unprecedented manner, on unencrypted South Ossetia and Caucasus regional communications shortly before the Beslan incident indicates that high-level parties knew of the attack in advance and did not want NSA intercepts to yield the identities of the terrorist planners and leaders.



Look in the mirror for some answers beeb...

Back to ISIS, or ISIL: rhymes with... Israel, which is in this as well...

WMRBeheading videos, SITE, and journalist "freedom fighters"

For the second time in a little over two weeks, a video of the beheading by a British-accented Islamic State jihadist of a U.S. journalist captured in Syria was distributed by the same organization. The most recent video images of orange jump suit-clad U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff being beheaded were released by the Search for International Terrorist Entities or "SITE," which also initially discovered and released the video beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley of GlobalPost.com.

As with the Foley video, U.S. intelligence initially refrained from validating the authenticity of the Sotloff video until it completed an examination of the Sotloff video. Obviously, the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies are well-versed on SITE's Israeli pedigree. As previously revealed by WMR, SITE is a Washington, DC-based research institute with links to Israeli right-wing Likud elements and Mossad. SITE is operated by Israeli intelligence asset Rita Katz and was also the source for a number of dubious videos of Osama Bin Laden, including one that only showed the Al Qaeda's lips moving but the rest of his body inanimate. In 2008, SITE released a video purportedly of Al Qaeda's number two, Ayman al Zawahiri. A number of experts determined the video was a fake...


Global ResearchWho is Behind the Islamic State (ISIL) Beheadings? Probing the SITE Intelligence Group

WMRISIL/ISIS: Another contrivance brought to you by Mossad, MI6, and the CIA - Part II

There is every indication that ISIL has significant links to Israel. Although there are claims to the contrary, ISIL absorbed most of the ranks of the Al Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra (Al Nusra Front) Islamist insurgent group in Syria. Al Nusra Front has coordinated its seizure of Syrian army positions along the Golan Heights border with the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). Rather than hit back at Al Nusra positions on the Syrian side of the Golan frontier, the Israelis attacked Syrian army positions, giving a boost to the Syrian campaigns of Al Nusra in particular and ISIL in general. There are reports that the Israeli military has been given the coordinates of Syrian army and Hezbollah forces, as well as "Committees for the Defense of the Homeland" militia forces of Alawites, Shi'as, Christians, and Druze, by Al-Nusra/ISIL to launch missile and drone attacks from the Israeli side of the border...

And Turkey...

Al Monitor (translation from Turkish Radikal): Notes from Erdogan-Obama meeting revealed

“The President [Barack Obama] demanded Turkey truly join in the struggle against the Islamic State in an effective manner. But [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan resisted, saying the Islamic State can carry out sabotage in Turkey and that there are 40 Turkish citizens held hostage in their [IS] hands.

“We know that Barzani offered to evacuate these people but was turned down by the Turkish side. It is still not clear who was behind the Reyhanli bombings of May 2013. It is understood that the Erdogan regime is using these two issues as pretexts to avoid taking action.

“Even before there was the issue of hostages, Islamic militants, mainly [the] Islamic State, for years freely shuttled back and forth over the Iraq-Syria and Turkey borders. This is not because the border supervision is difficult but because of the persistence of the Erdogan administration to topple Assad, who had been hurting the Muslim Brotherhood, which has empowered Turkey in the Middle East. To that end, Islamic fighters, including the Islamic State, were allowed to use Turkey as a logistics base for years.

“As part of this policy, Erdogan armed Islamic militants in a move coordinated by the MIT [Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization]. Weapons and explosives found on captured Islamic militants were marked MKE, Turkey’s state-owned industrial corporation. Turkish security forces several times stopped MIT trucks carrying weapons to Syria but the prosecutors, police and gendarmerie that stopped the trucks were reassigned and even put on trial on charges of spying. Although the government said these trucks were carrying humanitarian assistance, the trials are still held secretly.

“In addition to weapons assistance, Islamic casualties are immediately sent to Turkey where they get official care. After rest and recuperation these fighters return to the battlefield.

“The President [Obama] told Erdogan that it is crucial for this support to cease immediately and definitively."

And further complicating matters for Erdogan...

Look Out: LE PRIME DIFFICOLTÀ DEGLI USA E IL FRONTE (SCOPERTO) IN SIRIA

The CIA loses contact with Damascus

To make matters worse is the loss of the United States by the CIA to one of the last safe contact in front of the Syrian rebels. In the bombings carried out by the army of Damascus [in] Idlib on September 8 were killed more than 40 officers of the rebel group Ahrar al-Sham . Among the victims was also the group's leader, Hassan Abboud, also known as Abou Abdallah al Hamaoui, a native of Hama. Abboud was in regular contact with the CIA and former ambassador of the USA in Damascus Robert Ford and Daniel Robenstein.

The CIA has long had close direct relationships with Abboud and his organization leveraging the mediation of Jordanian intelligence. Now, however, with his death things for the American secret services are complicated. The CIA will have to rebuild contacts within Ahrar al-Sham and remain many doubts about the resilience of the group after the hard hit. -Google translation

Editors note (Sept. 20): On the subject of Israel, we would guess that in the past week we have had more than a few visitors browsing from this country, drawn particularly to our Cult of the Kadeisha post. What is odd however is that our traffic source stats shows not a single hit from Israel, in spite of the popularity of the article (relative to our usual traffic). Meanwhile, Turkey is exploding - where English speakers are far and few in between relative to, say, Israel where English is a second language. Turkey at present is giving us far more hits than even our native U.S. Here is how it breaks down:

Turkey 183
United States 67
France 54
Egypt 19
India 13
Germany 12
Algeria 8
United Kingdom 7
Ukraine 5
Netherlands 4

This leads us to speculate; does Israel cover its internet browsing tracks, falsely ascribing hits to Turkey instead?

Cult of the Kadeisha (for Goyim)

Ha'aretz: Cult suspected of prostituting women 'to save Israel'

Judea and Samaria District Police arrested eight people yesterday who are suspected of leading a cult that forced women into prostitution and took sexual advantage of them when they were under the influence of drugs and alcohol.  

The suspects allegedly told the women they had to have sex with non-Jewish men “to save the Jewish people and expedite the redemption.”

Jerusalem online: David Dvash is the cult leader arrested in Kiryat Arba

The investigation further suggests that the cult members believed that Israel's redemption will come by means of what they refer to as "sparks" – sexual relations with non-Jews...

"A young woman who was hurt addressed me, a woman that wasn’t prepared to speak with anyone before", Lehava activist Anat Goferstein said. "We spoke for a long time, she told me of a cult which draws women and forces prostitution on them, mostly with non-Jews, foreigners, immigrants. All was done under a cover pertaining to Jewish law, under strong religious belief and self-annulment of the woman so that her personality was completely erased. He would stand over and take pictures, and they found a religious explanation for that as well".

Israel National News: Cult Arrested for Sexually Abusing Women to 'Bring Messiah'

The Lehava anti-assimilation group led Judea and Samaria branch police in exposing an extremist Messianic cult that brain-washed Jewish women into taking drugs and having sex with Arab men in order to "bring the redemption."...

Lehava leaders Bentzi and Anat Gopshtain on Sunday revealed they exposed the cult and passed evidence to the police, after receiving complaints several months ago against a Kiryat Arba resident manipulating women from around Israel, encouraging them to have sexual relations with Arabs...

"We in the Lehava organization don't turn a blind eye, even in the case of a Jew pretending to be religious," said Gopshtain on Sunday. "We didn't hesitate to act for the sanctification of the nation of Israel."

"This is a shocking incident and we didn't rest or stay silent until the leader of the cult was arrested," added the Lehava director. "A phenomenon like this must be gotten rid of."

Global Post (James Foley archive): Inside Gaddafi's Libya

Wayne Madsen ReportGlobal Post, the employer of freelancer James Foley, fails to pass smell test

The media operation has not been around long. It was initiated on January 12, 2009, a week before the inauguration of Barack Obama as president, by two Boston businessmen, Charles Sennott and Philip Balboni. The new website claimed it was going to “redefine international news for the digital age.” Originally charging an annual subscription of $199 a year, Global Post cut its annual rate to $30 a year, which has been WMR’s unchanged annual subscription rate since 2005. However, Global Post’s subscribers’ base only stood at around 400. Yet, Global Post could boast of 65 worldwide correspondents, albeit, many of whom, like Foley, were freelancers. But how does an on-line media with subscribers only in the hundreds manage to finance reporters in war zones like Syria and Libya while maintaining a worldwide network of correspondents?

Global Post, with its lackluster business revenues, was able to cut syndication agreements with the Public Broadcasting System (sometimes mockingly referred to as the “Pentagon Broadcasting System”), the Sumner Redstone-owned CBS, and the Mort Zuckerman-owned New York Daily News. Oddly, just two years after its start-up, Global Post had garnered Peabody, Polk, and Edward R. Murrow awards for its “On Location” video coverage. Clearly, someone wanted to increase Global Post’s street credentials through an “award washing” campaign....

Owned by Global News Enterprises, LLC and headquartered on Boston’s affluent waterfront, Global Post’s board of directors and management includes those who have had only a glancing encounter with actual journalism: former cable television executives, a former chairman of C-SPAN, a former member of the board of The Boston Globe, a former publisher of The Boston Globe, an assistant to the CEO of the Hearst Corporation, a public relations flack for PBS, and a board member of the Boston public television station WGBH.

But even more suspicious is the presence on the staff of Global Post of two former editors for The Cambodia Daily, a CIA-connected publication officially owned by Cambodian orphanage “aficionado” Bernard Krisher; a former senior correspondent for the CIA- and Soros-linked Radio Free Europe in Prague; a graduate of the CIA-linked Sasin Business Institute in Bangkok; a former Boston Globe Jerusalem bureau chief, a former editor for the CIA-connected Tico Times of Costa Rica, and a former editor for the hard-neocon publication The Atlantic. Global Post’s team of international correspondents are steeped in neocon credentials, from The Daily Beast and Kyiv Post to The New Republic and The Daily Telegraph...


Steve Pieczenik (citing NYTimes): Proper Rules Regarding Hostage Rescue and Hostage Survival...

In the NYTimes article entitled, “Before Killing James Foley,  ISIS Demanded Ransom From U.S.”,  (posted earlier) written by Rukmini Callimachi, the following  most revealing paragraph appears about James Foley’s death wish:

“Across the ocean at his home in Cambridge, Mass, the chief executive of GlobalPost Mr. Balboni, reached for his Blackberry and had a TERRIBLE SENSE OF FOREBODING [my emphasis]: The email informing him of Mr Foley’s abduction was almost an exact replay of the horrors his staff had endured a year earlier when Foley was kidnapped with three others by Col. Muammar El Qaddafi’s forces in Libya.”

 Let’s review what happened in Libya:

 “We had joked that we needed to take away his (Foley’s) passport, Mr Balboni said Wednesday. “I don’t want to say it was deja vu but in a way it was…in one way I knew what was coming.” Not only did James Foley put himself purposefully in harms way but he also compromised Mr Balboni and the integrity of his journal and it’s financial viability.  Mr Balboni and countless other individuals spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours to rescue James Foley from Libya.  In return for their collective “good-will” Foley returned to the mundane job of being an editor for the journal (desk job) in Cambridge Mass...

Just like a physician, the state dept and military must be able to triage whom they can afford to save and who they must let go.  Needless to say, not every hostage deserves to be saved.  Unless that hostage is sponsored by a large organization that can afford to pay ransom then asking the USG to send in Intelligence Officers and Special Forces to save a potential hostage would bankrupt us and endanger the lives of others.


If for reasons unknown, James Foley worked for some organization other than the stated one, the triage applies doubly for any overseas operatives who have been taught how to avoid these types of precarious situations...

Attempts to divide and channel the rage with the race-card have not been entirely successful - perhaps in part because the case is egregious enough to generate outrage across racial and ideological lines - but thanks in large part to an over-equipped if not DHS-hijacked Ferguson police. The issue du jour has become the militarization of police, whence the "us" is more generalized and not entirely race-ID'd, while the "them" is not some isolated hapless cracker (e.g. the role played by George Zimmerman) serving to divide the populus into contentious and convenient factions. It is "the people" vs. "the pigs". Though to zero in on the police state apparatus does not entirely get to the crux of the crisis, which is the oligarchical looting of America, but it is a step in the right direction.
