- MUNICH, Germany -- Sixty
years after the end of the war, Germany remains an occupied nation-both
physically and spiritually. While the physical presence of the foreign
military occu-pation is seen only in those places where the occupa-tion
forces have bases, the evidence of the spiritual and intellectual occupation
is everywhere. Just as in the United States, it is only the alternative
and smaller press that tackles the most provocative reporting.
-
- The daily Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger recently reported
that Germany's intelligence agency, the BND, has issued German passports
for Israeli Mossad agents car-rying out covert operations in places like
Iran, where German citizens raise little suspicion. While Israelis are
not permitted to enter the country, many Germans travel to Iran, one of
Germany's major trading part-ners.
-
- Mossad is reportedly using German passports, issued in
the name of unaware German citizens, for covert missions in Iran including
targeting future mil-itary air strikes.
-
- As part of a long history of cooperation between the
intelligence agencies of Israel and Germany, the German intelligence service
reportedly provided the passports of its own will, in contrast to previous
incidents where Mossad agents tried to obtain passports illegally and without
the authorization of the countries involved, such as New Zealand.
-
- Reacting to the news report, an unidentified BND spokes-man
said, "Of course we have co-operation with Mossad. But we are not
commenting on what kind of documents were for-warded."
-
- The number of issued German passports for Mossad oper-atives
has reportedly increased dramatically since Sept. 11, 2001.
-
- Andreas von Bülow, former member of Germany's parlia-mentary
control commission, which oversees the secret serv-ices, told AFP that
he does not believe the passports had been issued by the BND, but that
they had been stolen by Mossad.
-
- "I can't imagine that the BND is doing this,"
he said. "It would be stupid."
-
- When he first heard that Israeli agents had tried to
steal the identities of handicapped and institutionalized patients in New
Zealand, he said that Germany should investigate to determine if such identification
theft was occurring among Germans.
-
- He told AFP that this "clever scheme" to steal
the identities of people, who will never leave Germany, is probably behind
the Israeli use of fraudulent German passports.
-
- However, just like in the United States, important report-ing
such as this seldom makes it into the mainstream.
-
- Evidence of the occupying powers' strategy of mind-control
is easily found in the daily propaganda sheet called Bild, Germany's most
widely read tabloid. The semi-pornographic Bild is forced onto Germans
across the country.
-
- Bild recently called Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the outspo-ken
Iranian president, "the most dangerous man in the world." Bild's
anti-Iranian machine is now in high gear. On Jan. 18 the paper said the
"madman" Ahmadinejad is as dan-gerous as Adolf Hitler.
-
- A written request to the editorial staff of Bild asking
about its anti-Iranian fear-mongering has gone unanswered.
-
- Iran had agreed to suspend uranium enrichment research
under the "voluntary deal" agreed to with the foreign ministers
of Britain, France and Germany. The so-called Euro-3 had negotiated with
Iran in an attempt to get it to abandon its uranium enrichment program,
which it has a legal right to continue.
-
- The Euro-3 all have extensive nuclear research programs.
These operations generate a significant portion of each nation's electricity
through networks of nuclear power plants.
-
- As American Free Press has previously reported, these
three European nations contributed significantly to the development of
the unregulated Israeli nuclear arsenal, the only one of its kind in the
Middle East. Germany, for example, has provided Israel with free submarines
that would allow it to launch nuclear missiles anywhere in the world.
-
- The international community is actually obliged to help
Iran with its peaceful nuclear program. Under the founding statute of the
International Atomic Energy Agency of 1956, the IAEA and its member states
are "to encourage and assist research and development and practical
application of, atomic energy for peaceful uses."
-
- Iran, an under-developed nation of some 70 million non-Arab
people, has the legal right to enrich uranium and produce nuclear energy
under international law and the treaty known as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty, which it, unlike Israel, has ratified and abides by.
-
- The controlled press frequently repeats its criticism
of Ahmadinejad for his anti-Zionist comments about Israel being "wiped
off the map" without providing the context or even the complete sentence
for which he has been pilloried.
-
- At the end of an Iranian religious holiday, on a day
devoted to the liberation of Jerusalem, Ahmadinejad repeated the long-held
position of the Iranian govern-ment that the "occupying regime of
Jerusalem must be wiped off the map."
-
- "We concur!" Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Neturei
Karta International wrote about Ahmadinejad's com-ments.
-
- "It is a dangerous distortion to see the president's
words as indicative of anti-Jewish sentiments," Weiss wrote. "The
political ideology of Zionism alone was rejected.
-
- President Ahmadinejad stressed this distinction by referring
only to Zionism, not Judaism or the Jewish people, regardless of whether
they reside in Palestine or elsewhere.
-
- "Orthodox Jews have always prayed and till today,
continually pray for the speedy and peaceful dismantling of the Zionist
state," Weiss wrote. "Based on our religious teachings, we believe
it is impossible that any lasting peace can be achieved, for so long as
the state of Israel exists."
-
- The Zionist occupation of Jerusalem, East and West, is
in violation of international law and a raft of UN resolutions. Under the
UN Partition Plan of 1947, Jerusalem was meant to be an international entity,
separate from the Jewish and Palestinian sections, surrounded by the West
Bank, which the UN granted to the Palestinians. Zionist forces seized the
west-ern approach to the city in the 1948-49 war and invaded and occupied
the Old City and its eastern villages in 1967.
-
- Since 1967, Israel has greatly expanded and subsequently
annexed the area around Jerusalem and now claims this area as its "eternal
capital," which it says will never be divided.
-
- The United States and European nations, however, do not
recognize the Zionist occupation of Jerusalem and have ratified numerous
UN resolutions calling for the illegal occupa-tion to cease. Yet, when
the Iranian president calls for exactly that, he is condemned in the United
States and Israel as "the world's most dangerous man."
