Paul Craig Roberts \u2013 paulcraigroberts.org Oct 31, 2019<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In the 1990s with the Soviet Union collapsed as a result of the communist hardliners\u2019 arrest of Soviet President Gorbachev and Yeltsin serving as Washington\u2019s puppet while Americans and Israelis looted Russia, the neoconservatives called for Washington to overthrow Middle Eastern governments. The neocon scenario for remaking the Middle East was set out prior to the events of September 11, 2001. https:\/\/www.theamericanconservative.com\/articles\/whose-war\/ <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The neoconservatives said that they needed \u201ca new Pearl Harbor\u201d in order to launch wars in the Middle East. The cover story was to bring democracy to the Middle East, but the real purpose was to remove governments in the way of Israeli expansion (https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1932528172\/counterpunchmaga<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s principal target was the water resources in southern Lebanon.\u00a0 The Israeli Army had tried to occupy southern Lebanon but was sent fleeing back into Israel by the Hezbollah militia.\u00a0 Israel concluded that it would use their American vassal to overthrow Iraq, Syria, and Iran, the governments that supplied the Hezbollah militia.\u00a0 Once the American puppet had overthrown the resistance to Israel\u2019s expansion, Hezbollah would have no financial or military backing and could safely be attacked by the Israeli army, a military force good only for killing unarmed Palestinian women and children.<\/span><\/p>\n

9\/11 was their New Pearl Harbor.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

General Wesley Clark, a 4-star US general who was Supreme allied Commander of NATO, revealed on television that a mere 10 days after 9\/11<\/em> he was in the Pentagon and was told by a general who formerly worked under him that the decision had been made to invade Iraq.\u00a0<\/em> This was before any of the alleged and disproven connections between Iraq and 9\/11 had emerged from the neoconservatives\u2019 manipulation of America\u2019s presstitute media.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words the invasion of Iraq was planned long before 9\/11.\u00a0 It was there all ready for a false flag launch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gen. Clark said on TV a few weeks later after the Cheney\/Bush Regime was bombing Afghanistan that he again saw his former subordinate in the Pentagon.\u00a0 The general held up a memo that \u201cdescribes how we\u2019re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off with Iran.\u201d\u00a0 https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/we-re-going-to-take-out-7-countries-in-5-years-iraq-syria-lebanon-libya-somalia-sudan-iran\/5166<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

General Clark, with 4-stars, was one of the anointed ones.\u00a0 He thought he could tell the truth, but his revelation had no effect. I am surprised that he wasn\u2019t arrested and tortured like Julian Assange for revealing \u201cclassified secrets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Osama bin Laden, a CIA asset used against the Soviets in Afghanistan, and Al Qaeda, a CIA-supported group of fighters used against the Soviets in Afghanistan, were blamed for the 9\/11 attack despite bin Laden\u2019s denial.\u00a0 Everyone knows that real terrorists claim responsibility for everything that happens, whether they had anything to do with it or not.\u00a0 It is the way that they build their movement. It makes zero sense for the alleged Terrorist Leader bin Laden to deny a victory unprecedented in history over the \u201cworlds only superpower.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to obituary notices from all over the Middle East, Egypt, and Fox News, Osama bin Laden died from renal failure and a variety of other illnesses in December 2001.\u00a0 I published the widespread obituary notices on my website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Osama bin Laden was a man who died twice. His death in December 2001 did not stop the corrupt Obama regime from killing bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan a decade later in 2011 when Obama, whose first term failure was threatening him with challengers to his renomination, desperately needed a vindication.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were presented with one.\u00a0 Obama and his top officials were shown fixed in front of a TV screen allegedly watching the US SEAL Team killing an undefended bin Laden. This false claim was a mistake as everyone wanted the film of bin Laden\u2019s death released. Someone hadn\u2019t given the PR event much thought. As there was no film, the Obama regime found itself on the spot. A correction was issued. It was a media false report that Obama and his team were watching a film of the SEALs\u2019 assault on bin Laden\u2019s compound.\u00a0 The replacement story was that they were listening to reports of the attack on bin Laden.<\/span><\/p>\n

More problems emerged.\u00a0 Pakistani TV interviewed the next door neighbor of the alleged \u201cbin Laden compound\u201d about what he witnessed on the night in which US SEAL forces allegedly landed and killed Osama bin Laden and carried away his body to be buried at sea from a US aircraft carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next-door resident said that three helicopters flew above and only one landed. The language soldiers spoke from the helicopter that landed was \u201cPashto.\u201d\u00a0 Navy SEALS don\u2019t know Pashto. There were no Navy SEALs present.<\/span><\/p>\n

The witness\u2014all of this was on Pakistani TV with links in my archives, assuming that they haven\u2019t been erased by Google or some other servant of the Evil Empire\u2014reported that the occupants of the single helicopter that landed went into the home of his friend, who most certainly was not bin Laden, and returned in 20 minutes.\u00a0 He said that when the helicopter lifted off it exploded.\u00a0 He said there were no survivors, that body parts were all over.\u00a0 He said that the Pakistani military appeared and cleared the immediate area of observers. The witness said that no other helicopter landed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US government acknowledged that a helicopter exploded and fought with Pakistan to get the remains of the helicopter returned to the US. The Obama regime claimed that other helicopters landed and conveyed the SEAL team and bin Laden\u2019s body to a US aircraft carrier.\u00a0 The Pakistani eyewitnesses to the scene said no such thing happened. The only helicopter they reported on Pakistani television was the one that exploded, and there were no survivors.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, how did anyone escape with bin Laden\u2019s body to be dumped into the sea off a US aircraft carrier?<\/span><\/p>\n

Many problems resulted from this Obama regime false news stunt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2 or 3 thousand US sailors on the alleged aircraft carrier from which bin Laden allegedly was given a burial at sea\u00a0 wrote home that there was no bin Laden burial from their ship.\u00a0 Aircraft carriers, like all navy ships, have people awake all hours of the day and night on watch. A ship doesn\u2019t just close down and go to sleep during which a secret burial can take place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, as those of sufficient intelligence asked, why was the undefended\u00a0 \u201cmastermind\u201d senselessly killed when he held so much valuable information?\u00a0 Why was his body disposed of instead of presented as evidence?\u00a0 Why dispose of the body that would prove that the person who died a decade ago still lived despite renal failure and was finally hunted down after a decade and murdered in a foreign country not subject to US law?\u00a0 The presstitutes were not interested in the questions, and neither was the Obama regime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without a media, Americans are helpless.\u00a0 There is no voice for them.\u00a0 The CIA knew this, and the CIA\u2019s subversion of the American media gave Washington total power.\u00a0 The only explanations Americans hear are the ones that keep them brainwashed.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2019\/10\/27\/the-end-of-accountable-government-is-close-at-hand\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Next we heard that the SEAL unit from which the SEAL team was allegedly drawn was loaded into a Vietnam era troop helicopter in violation of the rule against putting all members of a SEAL unit on the same aircraft, and this unarmored ancient helicopter was shot down over Afghanistan with all SEALs killed.<\/span><\/p>\n

SEAL families raised a stink.\u00a0 They reported receiving messages from their sons that something was wrong, that they felt endangered. The families wanted the explanation why the rule against putting all SEAL unit members on the same aircraft was broken.\u00a0 Why were they flown over hostile territory in an antique helicopter? \u00a0 I reported this information at the time.\u00a0 It has since disappeared from the news. Obviously, the SEALs were asking one another, \u201cwere you on the mission that got bin Laden?\u201d\u00a0 And no one was.\u00a0 So Washington had to eliminate the SEAL unit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Washington produced an alleged SEAL team member who \u201ckilled bin Laden\u201d and sent him on a speaking tour. A book was written. A movie was made. The CIA-obedient presstitute media gave high emphasis to the veracity of the false story.\u00a0 Gullible Americans were pleased to hear that Osama bin Laden had been given his just deserts with a second death a decade after he had died from renal failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

A population as naive as America\u2019s has no prospect of discerning truth from fiction.\u00a0 They are a lost people whose fate is tyranny.\u00a0 And they will think that they live in truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through its control over the media as evidenced by Operation Mockingbird and Udo Ulfkotte\u2019s book ( https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2019\/10\/27\/the-end-of-accountable-government-is-close-at-hand\/<\/a> ), the CIA has succeeded in turning the American population into Stepford Wives.\u00a0 This serves the Deep State\u2019s domestic control, but Stepford Wives are not a force capable of confronting the Russian and Chinese armed forces.\u00a0 The military\/security complex has seized control by turning a proud nation into misinformed sheeple.<\/span><\/p>\n

This history written in the closing months of the second decade of the 21st century is the last independent history available before the Age of Tyranny.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
