- In the wake of the massacre at Fort Hood Texas , two
principal theories have emerged to explain the conduct of the accused shooter,
identified by the U.S. Army as Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist
of Jordanian-Palestinian ancestry. One of these theories is embraced by
left liberals and other supporters and acolytes of the Obama regime, and
argues that Major Hasan is a sincere and devout Muslim who was the victim
of a tragic contradiction between his religious faith and the logic of
the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, both the heritage of the odious Bush-Cheney
regime. According to this version, Hasan must be viewed as a troubled
and tormented individual who "snapped," breaking down psychologically
under the stress of his awful predicament. Here is how Obama summed up
this approach: "Even within the extraordinary military that we have
-- and I think everybody understands how outstanding the young men and
women in uniform are under the most severe stress -- there are going to
be instances in which an individual cracks." (New York Times, 10 Nov
and ember 2009) Calling Major Hasan a terrorist amounts, in this view,
to racism and vindictive prejudice.
-
- The other theory is the one advocated by assorted neocons,
reactionaries, Islamophobes and others generally hostile to Obama. This
account maintains that Major Hasan was a homegrown, self-starting Islamic
terrorist, trumpeting his devotion to jihad and suicide bombing, seeking
to make contact with "Al Qaeda," and generally filled with hate
for America , for freedom, and for his fellow soldiers. In this view,
it is only the pervasive political correctness and multicultural obsession
of the subversive-riddled and soft on terrorism Obama regime that prevented
Major Hasan from being neutralized before he could act, and which prevents
Obama and his Democratic allies from telling the truth after the fact.
-
- These views are both superficial, naïve, and inadequate.[1]
They amount to two prongs of an articulated campaign of media hysteria
and mass manipulation designed on the one hand to prod the dithering Wall
Street puppet Obama who is having second thoughts about his own political
survival -- into an early decision in favor of massive escalation of the
war in Afghanistan for the purpose of hastening the breakup of Pakistan,
and thus threatening China. On the other hand, the delirium of Islamophobic
hatred being ginned up against Major Hasan by the usual cast of reactionary
radio ogres (Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Levin) seeks to accentuate and strengthen
the racist and xenophobic elements in the militant anti-Obama opposition,
in particular among the Tea Party movement. The decision to put the infamous
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his confreres on trail in New York City, plus
the recent government seizure of numerous US mosques and other buildings
on the grounds that they are Iranian assets, also contribute to a growing
mood of anti-Moslem hysteria. This atmosphere is accentuated by the reckless
and irresponsible actions of some Moslem groups which happen to be foundation-funded,
and must thus be considered as part of the apparatus of US domestic social
control.
-
- The media narrative which is now being consolidated a
week after the shootings is full of contradictions, embarrassed silences,
and absurdities. A third and distinct approach to this case is therefore
required, one which regards Major Hasan as a manipulated patsy in the context
of a relatively sophisticated operation mounted by forces within the US
intelligence community, using methods and assets which by now ought to
have become familiar. Major Hasan can be seen as a mixture of Lee Harvey
Oswald, legendary 9/11 "suicide pilot" Mohammed Atta, and Cho
Seung-Hui (the alleged April 2007 Virginia Tech shooter). He also has elements
of reputed Robert Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, and of John Hinckley
Jr., who was involved in an attempt to kill President Reagan both
of whom survived the operations in which they were implicated. He thus
represents a new cocktail of patsy ingredients. Until now, Islamic terrorists
had come in collectivist groups, and not alone. Major Hasan by contrast
is a troubled loner in the tradition of Oswald, at the same time that he
embodies the religious fanaticism of Atta, along with some of his peccadilloes.
Major Hasan is that novelty, a troubled Islamic fundamentalist loner, even
though this is something of a contradiction in terms. Like Cho, Major Hasan
emerges from the psychiatric clinic, in his case as a practicing psychiatrist,
but as a shrink with egregious symptoms of his own. Like all patsies,
Major Hasan combines the flamboyant and bombastic proclamation of his personal
creed with a seeming immunity from bureaucratic countermeasures which would
normally be automatic in shutting him down. Hasan is revealed as a fanatic,
a misfit, and a quasi-psychotic or psychotic mental case in his own right
who could not subsist without protectors in high places of the US
intelligence community.
-
- In my 2005 book 9/11 Synthetic Terrorism, I argued that
9/11 and other recent terrorist attacks represented provocations cynically
orchestrated by privately controlled rogue networks operating within the
US intelligence agencies for purposes of mass political manipulation.
Starting from an overview of terrorist actions from the Gunpowder Plot
of 1605 through 9/11, I developed a method of analysis of state-sponsored
false flag terrorism which distinguished the roles of fanatical, duped,
or psychotic patsies like Oswald, of subversive moles ensconced as officials
within government agencies, and of technicians or professional killers
who actually create the observed effects, all commanded and coordinated
from outside of government, and all operating within the atmosphere of
mass brainwashing provided by the Wall Street media. I also highlighted
the role of drills and exercises which are hijacked and turned into real-world
terror attacks. In order to understand the Fort Hood massacre, it is indispensable
to apply this method here as well.
-
- TROOPS THOUGHT IT WAS A DRILL DID MAJOR HASAN THINK
SO TOO?
-
- In investigations like this, it is generally a great
mistake to fixate on the scapegoat dished up by the mass media. The more
we focus on the Oswald of the day, the less we understand of what actually
happened. Let us turn away from the TV pundits, and listen instead to the
eyewitness testimony of the troops who were present at the shootings. Many
of them are on record agreeing that the events of November 5 were initially
interpreted by those on the scene as an exercise, as a drill. Emphasis
will be added to bring out this central fact.
-
- From ABC News we get the following testimony: Solider
Keara Bono 'told "Good Morning America" today that she initially
thought the scene of Hasan standing up, praising Allah and starting to
fire was a drill. She didn't believe it was real even when she felt her
own blood, she said. "Then I looked to my left and right and I saw
people that were bleeding," she said. That's when Bono realized that
Hasan's rampage wasn't a drill.' (ABC News GMA)[2]
-
- In the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel of 9 November 2009
we find: "Pfc. Amber Bahr of Random Lake [ Wisconsin ] heard someone
yelling and ducked at the sound of gunfire, but she said she thought supervisors
at Fort Hood were holding a drill last Thursday. She didn't know she was
under live fire until she heard people screaming."[3] This story was
based on an interview given to NBC's Today show.
-
- CBS News reported: "Two days after narrowly escaping
death at Fort Hood and just hours after his release from the hospital,
Corporal Nathan Hewitt still can't believe what happened was real. The
survivor spoke to CBS News Correspondent Don Teague about those fateful
minutes. Even after being shot, Hewitt didn't believe what was happening.
He thought the gunfire was a training exercise and that he'd been hit by
a rubber bullet. He says other victims thought the same thing."[4]
-
- ABC newsman Bob Woodruff found further corroboration
of this general impression when he was allowed to interview shooting victims
who were recovering in the hospital: "For many of the 43 people wounded
when an Army psychiatrist allegedly went on a shooting rampage at Fort
Hood, the scene was unreal -- it seemed like something out of a movie.
Maybe it was a drill. .Capt. Dorrie Carskadon, a combat stress specialist
from Wisconsin , who was at Fort Hood training for a deployment to Afghanistan
, said she initially thought the shooting was a drill."[5] Notice
that this testimony comes from a field grade officer, a captain.
-
- The Austin television station KXAN provides the following
evidence: 'Spc. Scott Hamrick and First Sergeant James McLeod made it out
of the Soldier Readiness Processing Center alive after some maneuvering
to get away from the suspect, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. "My initial
thought is that it was a drill," said Hamrick. "Because you know
you're always getting drilled for situations." However, what Hamrick
thought was a drill turned out to be something closer to war at home.'[6]
-
- The Miami Herald furnished this account: 'For Skip Blancett,
the senior pastor at the First United Methodist Church of Killeen, news
of the shooting left him anguishing for hours because his daughter, Hollye
Davis, was at a building next door to where the gunman started firing.
She and others were in lockdown for hours. Without a cellphone, she couldn't
call home. "They had no idea what was going on; everyone thought it
was a drill at first,'' Blancett said.'[7]
-
- The idea that the shooting was part of a drill or exercise
was so widespread that it had to be expressly countered in the first emergency
announcement posted on the Fort Hood web site, which read: "Effective
immediately. Fort Hood is closed. Organizations/units are instructed to
execute a 100 per cent accountability of all personnel. This is not a drill.
It is an emergency situation."[8]
-
- Based on this testimony, it seems clear that unannounced,
surprise terror drills are standard operating procedure at Fort Hood and
probably other military bases as well. They are frequent enough to be the
first thing many soldiers, including at least one officer, thought was
happening. Drills are designed to be as realistic as possible. But the
acme of realism is reality real killing, which can occur through
small but decisive changes in the unfolding of the drill. We may therefore
be dealing here with a drill which has been taken live or flipped live,
as so often happens in terror incidents.[9]
-
- This array of evidence allows us to pose the following
question: If so many of the Army personnel on the scene thought at first
that the incident was a drill, did Major Hasan also think he was attending
a drill? Did he imagine that he was going to be an actor playing the assigned
role of a member of the terrorist red team in a realistic exercise? In
other words, was this inept, troubled and quasi-psychotic individual somehow
under the impression that he was attending an officially sanctioned exercise
of some routine type, until real bullets began to be fired by other more
qualified shooters, thus taking the drill live? This might also help us
to account for the extraordinary intensity of firing at the scene
well over 100 rounds. For this working hypothesis to stand up, we would
have to show that there were other gunmen firing gunmen who knew
that the drill was turning into a real massacre. The additional shooters
would according to the classification referred to above represent the technicians
in this action the trained killers who have the ability to do the
things that the patsy is accused of doing. Interestingly enough, extra
gunmen are exactly what we find.
-
- ONE SHOOTER, OR THREE?
-
- How many shooters were there? Early reports indicated
that there were at least one, and perhaps two, in addition to Major Hasan.
Dow Jones newswires reported at about 5 PM Eastern Time: "A second
gunman is in custody after a shooting at the Army's Fort Hood in Texas
in which at least seven people were killed and 12 wounded, reports KCEN-TV
of Waco. The report comes about two hours after a first suspect was captured,
shortly after gunfire broke out."[10] According to the Dow Jones report
cited, shooting had occurred in two separate locations on the Fort Hood
base: "The incident reportedly began at Fort Hood 's theater and then
moved to the Soldier Readiness Processing Center , Killeen City Public
Information Officer Hillary Shine told Fox News." According to an
AP wire, these facts were also announced by an official Army spokesman
at the base: "The spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Banks, says
two shooters were apparently involved. There is no word yet on who they
were, nor on identities of the dead. Banks says the second incident took
place at a theater on the sprawling base." [11] Many of the embarrassing
reports about multiple shooters have been purged after the fact from websites,
but a few have survived, as in the case of this Wisconsin radio station,
where we read that the triple assassin theory had been embraced by the
commander of the base: "Newsradio 620 WTMJ: Lt. General Bob Cone at
Fort Hood confirms 12 dead, 31 hurt in shooting. Soldier gunman killed.
2 others in custody."[12] During the later afternoon, cable television
talked of three shooters, and in the London Daily Mirror account we find:
"Twelve people were killed and 31 wounded when three gunmen in uniform
opened fire at the US Army's largest armoured base in Texas yesterday.
One gunman was shot by civilian police and the two others held at Fort
Hood ."[13]
-
- GEN. CONE BRINGS MAJOR HASAN BACK FROM THE DEAD AFTER
8 HOURS
-
- It was only in the late evening that the official lone
assassin version of these events was assembled in another press conference
by General Cone held about eight hours after the shooting had started:
" KILLEEN , Texas (KXAN/AP/MSNBC) - Twelve died and another 31 were
hurt in a mass shooting on Fort Hood that stunned the nation on Thursday.
Accused gunman Major Malik Nidal Hasan is alive and in stable condition,
Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said at a Thursday evening news conference just outside
the storied military post - the largest in the United States . Counter
to initial reports, the 39-year-old psychiatrist - who was thought to be
killed by local police - is hospitalized and not expected to die of multiple
gunshots wounds sustained during the 1:30 p.m. attack. The local police
officer who allegedly shot Hasan and injured him is in the hospital also
in stable condition."[14]
-
- In the course of the day, we had thus gone from three
shooters to only one. The separate shooting incident at the Howze theater
on the post reported earlier had also been expunged in the process. Most
remarkable of all was the ability of Major Hasan to come back from the
dead after eight hours in which the world had been assured of his demise.
Such resurrection is of course a physical impossibility for mere mortals.
When individuals are alleged to have performed deeds which are physically
impossible in the world as we know it, from Oswald's feats of shooting
to Atta's (and Hani Hjanjour's) feats of flying, we must become suspicious
that intelligence agencies are assisting the probable patsies in hidden
ways. Major Hasan is said to have fired more than 100 rounds using the
two pistols he is alleged to have carried. This seems like a lot of shooting
for a single person surrounded by scores of trained combat veteran soldiers,
even if these latter had not been carrying their usual weapons.
-
- The categorical imperative for every patsy is to get
noticed, and to call attention to himself or herself pointedly and repeatedly,
by hook or by crook. They must stand out so much that they will be remembered
by many ordinary people after the process of their demonization has been
launched. In order to fulfill their function, patsies must leave a trail
of clues and evidence which will tie themselves and the larger target group
they supposedly represent to the heinous actions they will shortly be accused
of having committed. Oswald handed out leaflets sympathetic to Cuba and
told a television audience that he was a Marxist. He went to the USSR,
and tried to go to Cuba. Atta cultivated a frightening stare, and took
time to argue ostentatiously about a parking place at an airport in Maine
while he allegedly thought he was on his way to death. Major Hasan seems
to have some of the same strange proclivities. On the day of the shooting,
Major Hasan made sure there was no doubt about his religious loyalties
by donning a trademark "Islamic" white robe and skull cap to
go to his local Seven-Eleven, where he was sure to be filmed by the security
cameras there. This footage was then played on all the networks for the
next 48 hours. This gesture recalls the Koran Atta left in his car at Boston
's Logan airport. When the FBI located Atta's rented car, they found a
copy of the Koran, airline schedules, terrorist literature and videotapes,
and Atta's crudely forged last will and testament in the luggage
all obviously and crudely left behind to make the necessary point. Atta's
will betrayed the amateurish attempt of some half-baked area specialist
to sound Islamic
-
- At Fort Hood , Major Hasan 'told a colleague, Col Terry
Lee, that he believed Muslims should rise up against American "aggressors."'
[15] Count de Borchgrave points out that Major Hasan had made at least
one overtly ominous statement just before the shooting spree: 'As the Virginia-born
major told a female neighbor in his apartment complex, "I'm going
to do good work for God."'[16] The neighbor would not forget that
grim pledge anytime soon. Major Hasan was suspected of having authored
internet postings that compared suicide bombers with soldiers who throw
themselves on hand grenades to save others, although here we must be cautious,
since these postings could have been made by imposters. All accounts agree
that witnesses heard a shout of "Allahu Akbar" just before the
firing started. Less clear is whether these words were spoken by Major
Hasan. And if he did say them, was this a line from the scenario script
of a drill?
-
- MAJOR HASAN'S RANT TO MILITARY DOCTORS: "WE LOVE
DEATH MORE THAN YOU LOVE LIFE"
-
- The most elaborate attempts by Major Hasan to assert
and establish a thoroughly Islamic profile for himself came in the form
of a lecture at the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences
in Bethesda , Maryland . He was supposed to present a paper on an issue
of medical or clinical interest, but instead elected to make a ranting
speech about the oppression of Moslems in the US military and the dangerous
consequences this was sure to have. Here are some relevant parts of the
account published by Dana Priest in the Washington Post: 'The Army psychiatrist
believed to have killed 13 people at Fort Hood warned a roomful of senior
Army physicians a year and a half ago that to avoid "adverse events,"
the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious
objectors instead of fighting in wars against other Muslims. The title
of Hasan's PowerPoint presentation was "The Koranic World View As
It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military." Under a slide titled
"Comments," he wrote: "If Muslim groups can convince Muslims
that they are fighting for God against injustices of the 'infidels'; ie:
enemies of Islam, then Muslims can become a potent adversary ie: suicide
bombing, etc." [sic] The last bullet point on that page reads simply:
"We love death more then [sic] you love life!" Under the "Conclusions"
page, Hasan wrote that "Fighting to establish an Islamic State to
please God, even by force, is condoned by the Islam," and that "Muslim
Soldiers should not serve in any capacity that renders them at risk to
hurting/killing believers unjustly -- will vary!" The final page,
labeled "Recommendation," contained only one suggestion: "Department
of Defense should allow Muslims [sic] Soldiers the option of being released
as 'Conscientious objectors' to increase troop morale and decrease adverse
events."'[17]
-
- Objections were made to Major Hasan's tirade: "Students
on a 2007-2008 master's programme at a military college revealed that
they had complained to faculty about Major Hasan's alleged anti-American
views. They included him giving a presentation that justified suicide bombing
and telling classmates that Islamic law trumped the US Constitution."[18]
But nothing serious happened. According to National Public Radio's Joseph
Shapiro, the worst thing that happened was that Hasan was given a period
of probation early in his postgraduate work because of his insistence on
seeking to convert to Islam some coworkers and the soldiers he was treating.
-
- The title of this speech, "The Koranic World View
As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military," sounds very academic
and not very Islamic at all. It seems to imply that Islam and the Koran
are just a world view or Weltanschauung among others. It falls far short
of the basic Islamic fundamentalist claim to represent the authority of
absolute revealed truth. We are reminded of Mohamed Atta's will and instructions
for his own funeral, which Islamic experts have found to be replete with
elements and formulations utterly alien to Islam.
-
- The categorical imperative for every mole is to protect
the relevant patsies from investigation or arrest until the terror event
has occurred and it is time to round the patsies up as scapegoats. The
part about "We love death more then [sic] you love life!" is
blatant ID format "Al Qaeda" speak, and in a military setting
this speech would normally be more than enough to trigger a probing investigation
into Major Hasan's activities and belief structure. But no serious consequences
ensued, suggesting that Major Hasan was an asset who was being protected
for the sake of some future mission which he was being groomed and prepared
to perform.
-
- Thus, while Hasan's medical superiors were aware of him
as a problem case, they chose to do nothing: a " group of doctors
overseeing Nidal Malik Hasan's medical training discussed concerns about
his overly zealous religious views and strange behavior months before the
Army major was accused of opening fire on soldiers and civilians at Fort
Hood , Texas . Doctors and staff overseeing Hasan's training viewed him
at times as belligerent, defensive and argumentative in his frequent discussions
of his Muslim faith, a military official familiar with several group discussions
about Hasan said. As a psychiatrist in training, Hasan was characterized
in meetings as a mediocre student and lazy worker, a matter of concern
among the doctors and staff at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences military medical school,
the official said." (AP, 11 November 2009 )[19] At the same time,
the training of a psychiatrist involves intensive psychological profiling
an depth analysis by professors as an integral part of the training. As
a shrink among shrinks, Major Hasan's psychology must have been well known
to the military doctors who were his professors. This opens up an avenue
for manipulating and controlling him which has not been present in other
terrorism cases. Did one or more of the Major Hasan's analysts have a sideline
as terrorist controllers and mind benders working for the rogue network?
-
- WALTER REED OFFICIALS ASKED: "WAS HASAN PSYCHOTIC?"
-
- A more explicit and illuminating version of Major Hasan's
psychiatric review comes from National Public Radio. Here we find that
he was variously evaluated as "disconnected, aloof, paranoid, belligerent,
and schizoid." This raised the problem of whether he was actually
psychotic and thus suffering from severe mental illness: 'Starting in the
spring of 2008, key officials from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and
the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences held a series
of meetings and conversations, in part about Maj. Nidal Hasan.One of the
questions they pondered: Was Hasan psychotic? Both fellow students and
faculty were deeply troubled by Hasan's behavior - which they variously
called disconnected, aloof, paranoid, belligerent, and schizoid. The officials
say he antagonized some students and faculty by espousing what they perceived
to be extremist Islamic views. His supervisors at Walter Reed had even
reprimanded him for telling at least one patient that "Islam can save
your soul." Hasan spent six years as a psychiatrist at Walter Reed,
beginning in 2003, and he had a fellowship at USUHS until shortly before
he went to Fort Hood in the summer of 2009. A committee of officials from
both places regularly meets once a month to discuss pressing topics surrounding
the psychiatrists and other mental health professionals who train and work
at the institutions. Participants in the spring meeting and in subsequent
conversations about Hasan reportedly included John Bradley, chief of psychiatry
at Walter Reed; Robert Ursano, chairman of the Psychiatry Department at
USUHS; Charles Engel, assistant chair of the Psychiatry Department and
director of Hasan's psychiatry fellowship; Dr. David Benedek, another assistant
chairman of psychiatry at USUHS; psychiatrist Carroll J. Diebold; and Scott
Moran, director of the psychiatric residency program at Walter Reed, according
to colleagues and other sources who monitor the meetings.'[20] Why did
this august panel not take any practical steps in regard to Major Hasan?
This account blames bureaucratic inertia and political correctness founded
on the fear of seeming to discriminate against Moslems. But these reasons
need to be supplemented with another possibility: that a witting mole (or
moles) was shielding Major Hasan from any sanctions so he could go on to
greater things as a witting or unwitting agent provocateur and patsy.
-
- One comment included in this NPR account was especially
ominous: "Another official reportedly wondered aloud to colleagues
whether Hasan might be capable of committing fratricide, like the Muslim
U.S. Army sergeant who, in 2003, killed two fellow soldiers and injured
14 others by setting off grenades at a base in Kuwait ." Despite such
real and present dangers, nothing was done.
-
- MAJOR HASAN'S MOSQUE LINKED TO THE CIA'S CHECHEN TERRORISTS
-
- In recent years, Major Hasan attended a mosque in Silver
Spring Maryland which hosted fundraising for CIA covert operations against
Russia : "Imam Faizul Khan ministered to Hasan when he worshiped at
the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring , Md . The Muslim Community
Center has held fundraisers for Chechen jihadists, and promotes on its
website a Shariah-based financial product offered by a Muslim Brotherhood
front group under federal investigation."[21] The essential element
here is that the mosque was raising money for Chechen rebellion, which
is notoriously a strategic tool of the United States and the United Kingdom
against Russia . Perhaps such a fundraiser for Chechen terrorism might
have been attended by Ilyas Achmadov, the de facto ambassador of the leading
CIA-backed Chechen organization implicated in terrorism, who lives in Washington
, DC at US taxpayer expense thanks to his sponsorship by Zbigniew Brzezinski,
and the gray eminence of Obama's foreign policy team.
-
- The impression that Major Hasan was in fact a protected
patsy is strengthened by reports that he frequented mosques which have
figured in previous intelligence operations, and that he was in contact
with an American-born Muslim cleric now living in Yemen who currently plays
the role of one of the most bombastic agent provocateurs operating under
the umbrella designation of "al Qaeda."
-
- ANWAR AWLAKI, PATSY MINDER FOR HANI HANJOUR OF 9/11 INFAMY
-
- In earlier years, Hasan had worshipped with his mother
at the radical Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church , Va. During
2001, he worshipped there alongside some of the 9/11 patsies, specifically
those alleged to have been aboard the aircraft which allegedly struck the
Pentagon. The dominant figure of this mosque was at that time a certain
Anwar Awlaki or Awlaqi, who must be regarded as an intelligence agency
operative and patsy-minder, the latter because of his role in supervising
the alleged Pentagon suicide pilot Hani Hanjour and other 9/11 figures
who frequented the mosque. Hanjour, whose purported feats of flying would
if true have placed him above the Red Baron in the Valhalla of air aces,
was in fact a pathetic and clumsy nebbish.
-
- Just after the Fort Hood massacre, Awlaki used his website
for a bombastic endorsement of Major Hasan and the Texas slaughter, evidently
designed with Pavlovian technique to goad Islamophobic US reactionaries
into a frenzy and give the radio ogres much grist for their mill. Here
is the relevant report from the New York Times: 'Mr. Awlaki, an American
citizen born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents, wrote on Monday on his English-language
website that Mr. Hasan was "a hero." The cleric said, "He
is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being
a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people."
He added, "The only way a Muslim could Islamically justify serving
as a soldier in the U.S. Army is if his intention is to follow the footsteps
of men like Nidal."'[22] This was a piece of crude manipulation, and
at the same time an engraved invitation to an anti-Moslem pogrom. The report
went on: 'But since leaving the U.S. in 2002 for London , and later Yemen
, Mr. Awlaki has become a prominent proponent of militant Islam via his
Web site, www.anwar-alawlaki.com. The Toronto Star reported last month
that a group of young Canadians charged with plotting attacks against military
and government targets were inspired, in part, by listening to Mr. Awlaki's
sermons online. In 2000 and 2001, Mr. Awlaki served as an imam at two mosques
in the United States frequented by three future 9/11 hijackers. Khalid
al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi attended the Rabat mosque in San Diego, where
Mr. Awlaki later admitted meeting Hazmi several times but "claimed
not to remember any specifics of what they discussed," according to
the report of the national 9/11 commission. Both Hazmi and another hijacker,
Hani Hanjour, later attended the Dar al Hijra mosque in Falls, Church,
Virginia after Mr. Awlaki had moved there in early 2001. The 9/11 commission
report expressed "suspicion" about the coincidence, but said
its investigators were unable to find Mr. Awlaki in Yemen to question him.'[23]
We should notice the nice plug given here to Awlaki's web site by the New
York Times; his site traffic is sure to benefit enormously. Major Hasan
had taken care to establish his devotion and fealty to Awlaki during the
time leading up to the massacre. He left no doubt that he was a disciple
of Awlaki: 'Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep
respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer
at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday's horrific shooting
spree.'[24]
-
- Major Hasan, it transpired, had also been exchanging
emails with the fiery double agent he so much lionized; the imam-provocateur
had fled abroad after 9/11and was now operating under "al Qaeda"
cover from Yemen . According to one report: "two government officials,
speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to
discuss the case on the record, said the Washington-based joint terrorism
task force overseen by the FBI was notified of communications between Hasan
and a radical imam overseas, and the information was turned over to a Defense
Criminal Investigative Service employee assigned to the task force. The
communications were gathered by investigators beginning in December 2008
and continuing into early this year. That Defense investigator wrote up
an assessment of Hasan after reviewing the communications and the Army
major's personnel file, according to these officials. The assessment concluded
Hasan did not merit further investigation - in large part because his communications
with the imam were centered on a research paper about the effects of combat
in Iraq and Afghanistan and the investigator determined that Hasan was
in fact working on such a paper, the officials said. The disclosure Tuesday
of the defense investigator's role indicated that the U.S. military was
aware of worrisome behavior by the massacre suspect long before the attack.
Just hours later, a senior defense official, also demanding anonymity,
directly contradicted that notion. The senior defense official said neither
the Army nor any other part of the Defense Department knew of Hasan's contacts
with any Muslim extremists. Military, law enforcement and intelligence
agencies also are defending themselves against tough questions about what
each of them knew about Hasan before he allegedly opened fire in a crowded
room at the huge military base in Texas ." [25]
-
- AWLAKI HELPED ENTRAP FORT DIX SIX, TORONTO DUPES
-
- The decision of the Army to ignore Major Hasan's correspondence
with Awlaki is all the more astounding given Awlaki's status as one of
the premier terror impresarios of the age operating under Islamic fundamentalist
cover. More than a mere ideologue, he is a recruiter and an entrepreneur
of terror. His web site would not survive five minutes of concerted US
cyber-attacks, but he is not disturbed in his role as a pied piper of patsies.
In particular, Awlaki and his work were used to motivate and encourage
groups of mentally impaired and suggestible young dupes who were entrapped
into "terrorist plots" by busy FBI and Canadian RCMP agents during
recent years, thus keeping the boogey man of Islamic terrorism in the public
eye. 'In addition to his contacts with Major Nidal Hasan, the radical American
cleric, Anwar al Awlaki, served as an inspiration for men convicted in
terror plots in Toronto and Fort Dix, New Jersey, according to government
officials and court records reviewed by ABCNews.com.Despite his ties to
other plots, including the one against the Army post at Fort Dix, some
20 e-mails between Awlaki and Major Hasan were dismissed as "innocent"
by a military investigator working on the FBI's Joint Terror Task Force
in Washington, D.C...."He is not just a proselytizer but someone who
is operational, with deep and longstanding connections to al Qaeda and
has been for some time," said a former senior American intelligence
official who had access to classified information. Awlaki was characterized
in court testimony as an inspiration by two of six Muslim immigrants convicted
on conspiracy and other charges in a plot to kill U.S. military personnel
at Fort Dix.In Toronto, members of the so-called Toronto 18 watched videos
of Awlaki at a makeshift training camp where they allegedly planned an
attack on the Canadian parliament and prime minister.'[26]
-
- YET ANOTHER DELIBERATE FBI SNAFU
-
- Just as in the 9/11 instance, the scandalous failure
to connect the dots and round up the patsies was due to the non-feasance
and malfeasance of the FBI, the criminally negligent agency which, according
to 9/11 commission co-chair Gov. Thomas Kean, "failed and failed and
failed," but nevertheless escaped breakup after 9/11. Starting in
1996, the FBI had been aware that international terrorists were making
a show of learning to fly passenger jets at U.S. flight schools, but took
no action. According to a press report, the failure to inform Major Hasan's
superiors was the direct and specific responsibility of the FBI: "The
Pentagon said it was never notified by US intelligence agencies that they
had intercepted e-mails between of the alleged Fort Hood shooter and an
extremist imam until after last week's bloody assaults, raising new questions
about whether the government could have helped prevent the attack. a person
familiar with the matter said a Pentagon worker on the terrorism task force
overseen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation was told about the intercepted
e-mails several months ago. But members of the terror task forces aren't
allowed to share such information with their agencies, unless they get
permission from the FBI, which leads the task force. In this case, the
Pentagon worker, an employee from the Defense Criminal Investigations Service,,
helped make the assessment that Major Hasan wasn't a threat, and the FBI's
'procedures for sharing the information were never used,' said the person
familiar with the matter."[27] Those involved in this decision by
FBI and the Defense Department need to be probed as possible terror moles.
This is reminiscent of the FBI's Dave Frasca, who could not assemble and
act on the pre-9/11intelligence he had on his desk. This was a new chapter
of the story of FBI sabotage told by Colleen Rowley and documented at the
trial of Zacarias Moussaoui in 2006. If the FBI had rounded up the 9/11
patsies, the operation could not have occurred not because the patsies
were going to fly planes into buildings by themselves, but because the
jailing of patsies before the fact would have made the targeting of the
Moslem world impossible. In this sense, the same FBI rogue networks which
made9/11 possible are still in place and still effectively sabotaging effective
law enforcement.
-
- MAJOR HASAN'S SECURITY CLEARANCE: SECRET
-
- Major Hasan reportedly has a security clearance which
allows him to receive secret information. All US Army officers are required
to have at minimum a secret-level security clearance, and Major Hasan's
clearance might even have been at the more stringent top secret level.
All indications are that Major Hasan's clearance was never reviewed, despite
his ostentatious antics. Major Hasan's aberrant behavior should at the
very least have put him in line for a National Agency Check or NAC. Newsweek
writes that 'extended NACs, which the officials indicated are more likely
for would-be military officers, would include checks of local and state
police records in jurisdictions where the subject lived, as well as credit-bureau
and financial-record checks. In the event that some kind of "derogatory"
information turns up during these checks, one of the officials said, field
investigators are likely to be sent out to conduct interviews, and the
procedure could also include an interview with the security-clearance applicant.'[28]
This puts Major Hasan in a very special category, subject to special rules
and surveillance which are enforced by specific agencies, and not by military
physicians of whatever rank. Perhaps the most direct evidence that Major
Hasan was a protected patsy was the fact that he could make incendiary
speeches and correspond with self-proclaimed "al Qaeda" firebrands
without having his security clearance reviewed, to say nothing of lifted.
-
- As a well informed Stratfor letter to the editor posting
points out: "The contacting of a foreign Islamic militant who openly
espouses killing of Americans is, in and of itself, is a violation of U.S.
security regulations with respect to individuals with security clearances.
Hasan's foreign contact should have been reported through the chain-of-
command to his commander. Lt. Gen. Cone, in consultation with his G-2,
Counter-Intelligence Staff Officer, Personnel Security Officer and the
CID, could have immediately suspended Maj. Hasan's security clearance subject
to a local AR 15-6 investigation. Lt. Gen. Cone is responsible for force
protection of assets in his command, not a DoD criminal investigator. A
minimally competent investigation would have uncovered other comments and
actions that would probably have resulted in adverse command action on
Maj. Hasan's security clearance and possibly led to charges being brought
for conduct unbecoming an officer."[29] But the usual rules were suspended
for Majopr Hasan, indicating that he belonged to a special class of persons
patsies who were being groomed for future actions and therefore had
to be kept out of trouble.
-
- LIKE ATTA AND KSM, THE DEVOUT MAJOR HASAN LIKES STRIP
CLUBS
-
- Thanks to the investigative work of Daniel Hopsicker,
it has been revealed that key 9/11 figure Mohammed Atta was no devout and
puritanical Moslem, but a hedonist. The legendary Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
(KSM), touted by the controlled media as the "9/11 mastermind,"
was also devoted to alcohol, floozies, and nightlife. It is striking that
Major Hasan, allegedly a rigid and doctrinaire Moslem, also conforms to
this model. Patsies working for or manipulated by the de facto Islamic
fundamentalist directorate of Anglo-American intelligence seem to share
the same decadent western foibles. One of Major Hasan's favorite relaxations
was to attend the local strip club: 'Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan came into the
Starz strip club not far from the base at least three times in the past
month, the club's general manager, Matthew Jones, told FoxNews.com. Army
investigators building their case against Hasan plan to interview Jones
soon. "The last time he was here, I remember checking his military
ID at the door, and he paid his $15 cover and stayed for six or seven hours,"
Jones, 37, said. Jennifer Jenner, who works at Starz using the stage name
Paige, said Hasan bought a lap dance from her two nights in a row. She
said he paid $50 for a dance lasting three songs in one of the club's private
rooms on Oct. 29 and Oct. 30. She recalled that he arrived at about 6:30
p.m. and stayed until 2 a.m. She said he brought in a six pack of light
beer, took only a few sips from one can and gave the rest to the strippers.
"He preferred the blondes," said Jenner, whose hair was dyed
blond at the time. "He said he was a medic and that he was being deployed
soon, but mostly he wanted to ask us questions."'[30] Needless to
say, alcohol and strippers do not an Islamic fundamentalist make.
-
- As for prominent 9/11 figure Atta, he was in fact not
a practicing Moslem at all, but rather a devotee of alcohol, cocaine, call
girls, and pork chops. Like Major Hasan, Atta preferred blondes, specifically
pink strawberry ones. He cohabited with a 22-year old call girl who may
also have been a sex operative for one of the intelligence agencies. Amanda
Keller worked for a "lingerie model escort service" in Sarasota
called Fantasies & Lace. Atta loved to attend topless bars, where he
would order lap dances at the Pink Pony, or else stuff twenty dollar bills
into the g-strings of the dancers at the Olympic Garden nightclub. He was
also a regular at Harry's Bar in Naples. Atta's favorite nightspots were
the Cheetah in Venice, and Margarita Maggie's in Sarasota. FBI investigators
showing around pictures of Atta after 9/11 found that he had been in a
bar drinking Stolichnaya vodka for three hours quite recently; with him
was accused suicide pilot Marwan al Shehhi, who preferred rum. Atta was
also a frequent cocaine user. He would habitually snort rows of cocaine
with a dollar bill. Are we therefore dealing here with two patsies from
the same levy, two parallel patsy lives?
-
- FROM ARMY-MCCARTHY TO ARMY-LIEBERMAN
-
- The reactionaries of today yearn for the days of Senator
Joe McCarthy (R-Wisconsin), who launched his campaign of red-baiting and
witch-hunting some six decades ago. At the height of the Cold War, McCarthy
launched the hysterical charge that the US Army had been massively infiltrated
by agents of the international communist conspiracy. This led to the infamous
and protracted Army-McCarthy hearings in the Senate, during which McCarthy's
influence reached its demagogic apex. Today, the neocons are still full
of rancor and resentment over their wholesale ouster from the government
through the end of the Bush-Cheney era, and the ascendancy of the Brzezinski-Nye-Soros
faction of liberal imperialists who control Obama. Immediately after the
shootings. Now, Senator Joe Lieberman has announced that he will use his
homeland security subcommittee to investigate the failure of the intelligence
agencies to connect the dots in the Fort Hood incident. Already, neocon
web sites are contending that the US Army of the Obama era is thoroughly
infiltrated by Islamic fundamentalists favorable to terrorism. Lieberman
says he wants to know how the Army missed numerous warning signs about
Hasan's radical views. The Army-Lieberman hearings may soon launch an anti-Moslem
witch hunt in the US military, fulfilling much neocon nostalgia. The best
approach would be to empanel a genuinely independent board of inquiry to
investigate the Fort Hood massacre. Care should be taken to avoid the begging
of the question and the blatant conflicts of interest which made the recent
Kean-Hamilton 9/11 commission such a mockery. Care should also be taken
to keep the inevitable Lee Hamilton out of any board of inquiry, given
his wretched track record of cover-up and misprision.
-
- FORT HOOD MOSLEM CLERIC TO MAJOR HASAN: "THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU"
-
- The London Daily Telegraph interviewed Osman Danquah,
a local Moslem clergyman, who had contact with Major Hasan. Osman Danquah
had come to the conclusion that Major Hasan had debilitating mental problems,
and was not suitable for any leadership roles even though he was
an Army officer of the middle rank. Citing several sources, this paper
writes: 'What does seem clear is that the army missed an increasing number
of red flags that Hasan was a troubled and brooding individual within its
ranks. "I was shocked but not surprised by news of Thursday's attack,"
said Dr Val Finnell, a fellow student on a public health course in 2007-08
who heard Hasan equate the war on terrorism to a war on Islam. Another
student had warned military officials that Hasan was a "ticking time
bomb" after he reportedly gave a presentation defending suicide bombers.
Osman Danquah, the co-founder of the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen,
said Hasan never expressed anger toward the army or indicated any plans
for violence. But he said that, at their second meeting, Hasan seemed almost
incoherent. "I told him, 'There's something wrong with you'. I didn't
get the feeling he was talking for himself, but something just didn't seem
right." He was sufficiently troubled that he recommended the centre
reject Hasan's request to become a lay Muslim leader at Fort Hood .'[31]
-
- The pathos Major Hasan's existence is perhaps most clearly
portrayed in his unsuccessful effort to find a wife of his own faith: 'Relatives
said that the death of Hasan's parents, in 1998 and 2001, turned him more
devout. "After he lost his parents he tried to replace their love
by reading a lot of books, including the Koran," his uncle Rafiq Hamad
said. "He didn't have a girlfriend, he didn't dance, he didn't go
to bars." His failed search for a wife seemed to haunt Hasan. At the
Muslim Community Centre in the Washington suburb of Silver Spring, he signed
up for an Islamic matchmaking service, specifying that he wanted a bride
who wore the hijab and prayed five times a day." Major Hasan returned
repeatedly and obsessively to the same theme, according to a another acquaintance:
"Adnan Haider, a retired professor of statistics, recalled how at
their first meeting last year, a casual introduction after Friday prayers,
Hasan immediately asked the academic if he knew "a nice Muslim girl"
he could marry. "It was a strange thing to ask someone you have met
two seconds before. It was clear to me he was under pressure, you could
just see it in his face," said Prof Haider, 74, who used to work at
Georgetown University in Washington . "You could see he was lonely
and didn't have friends.[32]
-
- WAS MAJOR HASAN BRAINWASHED?
-
- Given the accumulated evidence that Major Hasan was possibly
psychotic, there remains the question of whether this psychosis might have
been endogenous and due to natural and spontaneous causes, or whether it
had been artificially produced in him through a program of brainwashing
and heavy-duty "Clockwork Orange" psychological manipulation
by others. We cannot exclude the possibility that Major Hasan went out
on November 5 consciously determined to kill, and may also have discharged
his weapons. We thus have two possible scenarios: on the one hand Major
Hasan the duped patsy caught totally by surprise when the shooting started,
and on the other, Major Hasan the psychotic and criminally insane killer
who possessed the will, if not necessarily the ability, for serious shooting.
There may be evidence for both scenarios.. We should also point out that
seeing Major Hasan is a psychotic killer in his own right does not in any
way rule out the presence of additional and more capable shooters. We
are reminded here of the case of Sirhan Sirhan, who appears to have fired
at Robert Kennedy, but who also appears to have received a powerful assist
from some other as yet unidentified more expert shooter who may have actually
fired the lethal bullet.
-
- MAJOR HASAN'S VIRGINIA TECH CONNECTION
-
- Where would Major Hasan have been brainwashed? An obvious
place to look would be the precincts of Virginia Tech, the home of Cho
Seung-Hui, the alleged mass killer of 32 students and professors along
with himself in April 2007. This incident involves far too many unanswered
questions to be addressed in detail here. In any case, the fact that Major
Hasan graduated from the alma mater of Cho should be enough by itself to
raise some red flags. We should also recall that several additional homicides
have occurred in and around Virginia Tech during the last year. In January
2009, a Virginia Tech doctoral student beheaded a fellow student in a campus
cafe. In this incident, a female graduate student who had just arrived
from China was killed when another graduate student she knew attacked her
with a knife and decapitated her.[33] Beheadings are rare on American college
campuses even today, so this is an extraordinary event indeed. In August
2009, two Virginia Tech University students were found murdered at a Jefferson
National Forest campground that is a popular hangout for students. The
bodies of David Lee Metzler, 19, of Lynchburg and Heidi Lynn Childs, 18,
of Forest were found by a passerby.[34]
-
- So what in the world is going on in or near Blacksburg
, Virginia ? The report on the Virginia Tech slayings prepared by a special
commission set up by Virginia Governor Tim Kane covers up the failure of
mental health professionals in and around Virginia Tech to take effective
action in regard to Cho, whom they had nevertheless recognized to be a
profoundly disturbed and potentially highly dangerous personality. This
report commits the usual fallacy of petition principi, begging the question,
and assumes from the start that Cho was the sole shooter.[35] Because of
this failure to account for numerous salient features of the Cho incident,
this entire case must continue to be classified as unsolved. We must therefore
conclude this essay merely by citing one of the many clues which the Virginia
investigation chose to ignore, but which might begin to account for the
extraordinary number of homicides observed in the area of Blacksburg Virginia
. As a somewhat obscure website alleges in an unconfirmed report, "Blacksburg,
VA houses a US government ABOVE TOP SECRET underground laboratory (in the
side of a local Blacksburg mountain) that develops in conjunction with
DARPA [Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency], weapons such as human
robotic mind control programming."[36] Does such a facility exist,
and what does it do? At this point, any further comment would be pure speculation.
-
- We cannot be optimistic that, should he survive, a future
trial of Major Hasan will clear up these questions, any more than criminal
trials established the real facts in the cases of Sirhan Sirhan, Hinckley,
McVeigh, or John Allen Muhammad. What does appear confirmed as of now is
the existence of a mutating model of terrorism alongside the large-scale
9/11 or WMD paradigms of false flag manipulation seen and propagandized
during the last decade. In this sense, Major Hasan represents the evolution
of the figures of Cho, and also of Steven P. Kazmierczak, the Northern
Illinois University shooter of February 2008. As I wrote last year, "The
new model is Virginia Tech gunman Cho, a mentally disturbed or brainwashed
mass killer. Another case was that of Steven P. Kazmierczak, who in mid-February
2008 shot 21 people and killed five of them at Northern Illinois University
in Dekalb. Kazmierczak was described as being intensely concerned with
"corrections, political violence, and peace and social justice."[37]
-
- Will the American public ever learn to see through and
reject false flag operations, as many Spaniards were able to do after the
Madrid bombs? Will Americans ever swear off the dangerous habit of being
duped? Will opinion leaders ever master the rather elementary methods of
rogue network, false-flag terrorism? Until this occurs and the gullibility
of the public is reduced, such operations are likely to continue on scales
both small and large, with incalculable consequences for the future of
humanity.

- [1] Another concept asserts that the 13 Army personnel were killed
during the suppression of a mutiny occasioned by the overstretch of US
forces caused by Obama's contination of the Iraq war and escalation of
the Afghan war. Almost a week after the massacre, no direct substantiation
for this idea has emerged.
