- Those repeated terror alerts from the Bush administration
might all be part of a calculated manipulation from our own government.
At least that is the speculation of Ray McGovern. A former CIA Analyst
under both Reagan and Bush 41, he was interviewed on an internet radio
program Monday, presenting indications that this could all be "manufactured
fake terrorism," designed to deflect attention from the continuing
encroachments on our civil liberties and the growth of the federal empire
at home and abroad.
-
- McGovern noted that the war in Iraq "has nothing
to do with democracy or freedom or defending 'our way of life,'" but
is about "enriching the pockets of those who support this administration."
McGovern, who writings also appear regularly on such "progressive"
sites as Tom Paine and the American Prospect, has long been a critic of
Bush foreign policy, but speaks from his own CIA experiences to note the
signs as they present themselves. Commenting on the statements of Congressman
Ron Paul [R-TX], that the Administration was openly trying to set up a
martial law police state in America, he readily agreed, stating that "it
does seem that those who have his (Bush's) ear are hell bent on giving
away or providing wider responsibilities to our military."
-
- He cited the recent proposal by Bush himself, to put
the military in direct charge during hurricanes and other domestic catastrophes.
He also noted statements, like those of General Tommy Franks, indicating
that the next major attack in the US "would mean a martial law state
and a breakdown in our freedoms." But he cautioned against accepting
the government's word in such an event, since it very well might be our
own government carrying out the terror: "We have to be careful,"
he is quoted as saying, "if somebody does this kind of provocation
we have to not take the word of the masters there in Washington that this
was some terrorist event because it could well be a provocation allowing
them, or seemingly to allow them to get what they want." He notes
how the New York City terror alert has now been "outed as a fake,"
while it "magically boosted" Mayor Bloomberg's ratings. - ST
