Dr. Steve Pieczenik, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in three administrations, who earned his Ph.D. at MIT, has revealed that he has been told by a high-ranking general–whom I believe to have been Gen. Richard Myers–that 9/11 was a “false flag” attack, which was done by the government in order to arouse the American people to support wars of aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq. On Alex Jones, he has now asserted that Israel is going to attack Iran on Yom Kippur, which begins on Tuesday, 25 September 2011. He insists that Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu are at odds over this, where Obama and the Pentagon are opposed to any such attack. I think Pieczenik is very honest and has run risks by revealing that he was told it had been a “false flag” operation to induce the public to support wars of aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq.

According to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronot, the US has warned Israel that Egypt and Jordan, as sole Arab states that have signed peace treaties with Israel, would be under great pressure by their people to annul the agreements if Iran's nuclear facilities were attacked.
"What happened with the film against [Prophet] Mohammad [PBUH] is just a preview of what will happen in case of an Israeli strike," the official said referring to the outrage growing across the Muslim world over the US-made anti-Islam movie.
Meanwhile, the gap between the US administration and the Israeli government is reportedly growing over the urgency of considering military action against Iran.
Despite Israel’s efforts to convince Washington of the necessity of military strike against Iran, the White House has in several occasions announced that there remains time and space for diplomacy concerning Tehran’s nuclear program.
Israel has carried out a number of war games and drills as Tel Aviv steps up its war rhetoric against Iran under the pretext that Iran’s nuclear energy program includes a military component.
Iran has refuted the allegations maintaining that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a committed member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has every right to develop and acquire the nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Iranian officials have also promised a crushing response to any act of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

Steve Pieczenik: World War III starts 25 September 2012
by Jim Fetzer
Dr. Steve Pieczenik, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in three administrations, who earned his Ph.D. at MIT, has revealed that he has been told by a high-ranking general–whom I believe to have been Gen. Richard Myers–that 9/11 was a “false flag” attack, which was done by the government in order to arouse the American people to support wars of aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq. On Alex Jones, he has now asserted that Israel is going to attack Iran on Yom Kippur, which begins on Tuesday, 25 September 2011. He insists that Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu are at odds over this, where Obama and the Pentagon are opposed to any such attack. I think Pieczenik is very honest and has run risks by revealing that he was told it had been a “false flag” operation to induce the public to support wars of aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I wish that I could believe that the US “won’t be drawn into another unpopular war”. Given the coming presidential elections, however, where a new war in the Middle East would be overwhelmingly unpopular with the American public, Obama needs plausible deniability, which means that it must appear to the public as though this engagement was initiated by Iran, where the most likely scenario has an Israeli sub torpedo the USS Enterprise, our first nuclear-powered carrier, and blame it on Iran. This would not be the first example of monumental hypocisy by Obama. The administration, for example, has opposed the invalidation of the indefinite detention provisions of NDAA, which were blatantly unConstitutional on their face and take us back to a time prior to the Magna Carta. I am also stunned that DHS continues to acquire more and more ammunition: what conceivable reason can it have for stocking more than 1.5 BILLION ROUNDS of .40 hollow point, which is not even permissible for use in warfare under the Geneva Conventions?
DHS does not engage in operations abroad; therefore, it has to be for operations within the borders of the USA. That enormous quantity would require absurd storage were it not to be used in the near term. Between the FEMA camps and the surveillance (probably predator) drones being authorized here (for no other discernible reason), we have to bite the bullet and acknowledge that our own government, THE US GOVERNMENT, IS PREPARING TO GO TO WAR WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. It has to be anticipating some cause of massive unrest and actual uprising by ordinary citizens, which could come from (1) the collapse of our economic system (where our bank accounts are vacated), (2) masses with Fukushima-induced radiation sickness (becoming like a vast class of Zombies), or (3) the nation is decimated by nuclear retaliation as a consequence of an attack on Iran (and the public is ravaging for its own survival). The third, at present, appears to me to be the most probable.
Circumstantial Proof
Bear in mind that Iran has not attacked any other country for more than 300 years. Iran has signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has allowed inspectors into its facilities. Iran has disavowed the pursuit of nuclear weapons, even though it is my belief that, as in the case of the “Cold War”, mutually assured destruction of the US of the USSR and of the US by the USSR ushered in a period of stability that endured for nearly fifty years. Israel, by comparison, has 200-600 or more of these little beauties. Israel has refused to sign the NPT. Israel will not allow inspectors into its own facilities. Israel has refused to participate in a conference in Finland to discuss the nuclear disarmament of the Middle East, for the obvious reason that Israel wants nuclear disarmament for every country in the Middle East except Israel! If an attack where imminent, then we would expect Israeli shills to be attempting (again) to demonize Iran and its leaders as a threat to the world, where Ed Koch is fulfilling that role:
Iran Will Attack U.S. if It Gets Nuclear WeaponsBy Edward Kochhe New York Times of Sept. 17 reported that “in Iran, the commander of the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, took the unusual step of holding a news conference on Sunday to warn that ‘nothing will remain’ in Israel if it or any other nation launches attacks against his country.“He said that Iran and its allies — presumably Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza — would retaliate at Israel’s borders, as would Iran itself in Israel and beyond, targeting American military bases in the Persian Gulf and shutting down the Strait of Hormuz,” according to the newspaper.
The Times goes on to report: “Iran has often threatened to counter any attack, but the general’s threats were unusually specific and signaled Iran’s intent to turn any possible attack into a regional conflict. ‘Our response to Israel is clear: I think nothing will remain of Israel,’ General Jafari said, according to an account by The Associated Press. ‘Given Israel’s small land area and its vulnerability to a massive volume of Iran’s missiles, I don’t think any spot in Israel will remain safe.’ General Jafari also confirmed, in what appeared to be the clearest terms so far, that some high-level advisers from his elite unit were working in Syria and Lebanon, underscoring how deeply intertwined the many conflicts in the region have become.”So now we have one of Iran’s top generals joining the president of Iran in calling for the destruction of Israel. The Iranian general threatens Israel’s total demise and destruction “if [Israel] or any other nation launches attacks against his country.” The Iranian president’s longstanding calls for Israel’s destruction have always been unconditional.Israel is normally referred to by Iranian government officials as the “little Satan” and the U.S. as the “big Satan.”You can be sure that if and when Iran develops a nuclear bomb and a rocket capable of reaching the U.S., we here in the U.S. will be at risk simply because we exist. The fanatic Muslims engaged in jihad against Western civilization have as their goal the total destruction of Western civilization which they both envy and hate. Their ultimate objective is to convert the world to Islam.
How dumb are we supposed to be? What conceivable reason would there be for Iran to attack the United States? There is too much belief in the infallibility of technology, alas, where Bibi may believe that the “Iron Dome” protects Israel and the Joint Chiefs may believe that satellite-mounted lasers and AEGIS cruiser electronic-warfare capabilities are going to prevail against even the sophisticated anti-ship missiles in the Iranian arsenal. The use of an Israeli sub to sink the USS Enterprise and blame Iran gives Obama his “free pass” for committing the greatest atrocity in human history. Estimates have an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities at 1,000,000 dead outright and another 35,000,000 premature deaths as the contamination spreads across Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. But that is not counting the additional millions of US citizens in response.
Situation Assessment
My best guess is that Pieczenik is honest as the day is long but has been induced to believe the US won’t go along, whereas we are already taking measures in anticipation of a retaliatory nuclear assault. Bibi’s assassination might stop it in its tracks, but I doubt that will happen. The Israel’s are going to torpedo an old ship, ready for the scrap-heap, the Iranians and the Russians will respond and most of us are going to be casualties in the greatest nightmare to befall the human race. It will fulfill Curtis Lemay’s fondest wish in believing that a nuclear war is “winnable”, but I think JFK got it right when he surmised that would be a war in which the living will envy the dead. I wish it were otherwise and hope that I am wrong, but that is how I see it.
Pieczenik is not being allowed back on the air with Alex Jones. Our B-1 and B-2 bombers, I have been informed, have been transferred to within striking range of Iran–and the B-2s are now equipped with MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrators), 30,000 bombs designed for deep penetration before they explode. And Navy bases are taking steps to protect resources that would be damaged by air-borne detonations during an expected nuclear retaliation. My belief is that an assault has been planned for 25 September 2012, Yom Kippur, to launch the Jewish New Year in spectacular fashion. Iran and Russia (and possibly China, too) are going to retaliate with a massive response. We in the USA are not going to be spared. There is still the grotesque attitude among military minds that nuclear wars are “winnable”. Every human being, not just every American, should be required to watch “Dr. Strangelove” annually as a reminder of its complete insanity.
In addition to the hysterical raving of Ed Koch, the GOP appears to want to Carterize Barack Obama by saddling him with difficulties in the Middle East that parallel the Iranian hostage crisis that cost him the election with Ronald Reagan, which is why Mitt Romney has been placing so many of his eggs in the foreign policy basket. He and Bibbi turn out to be close friends, where Netanyahu may believe that he will be in the position to dictate US foreign policy if Romney should be elected. How many Americans fall for this rubbish may be difficult to calculate, but it is not difficult to discern that Ed Koch is playing a propagandistic role here in attempting to induce the false belief that Iran poses a threat to the US and Israel, when it is the US and Israel that pose a threat to Iran–and to their own nation’s residents. Iran has never threatened “to wipe Israel off the map” and the general was obviously discussing a response to an attack upon Iran by Israel and not reiterating a deliberate mistranslation that has been used as an instrument of disinformation for far too long.

Washington has warned Israeli officials that an attack on Iran will likely cause Egypt and Jordan to annul their peace agreements with Israel.

One of the rising new divisions of al-Qaida, the terror organization that has claimed credit for death and destruction around the globe, has issued a call for more attacks on U.S. interests and the sinister motive could be to apply pressure for the release of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdul Rahman, according to one Middle East analyst.
Rahman is serving time for a conviction of conspiracy arising from the 1993 bombing in which Islamic radials tried to bring down the World Trade Center in New York.
It was al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb that called for more attacks on U.S. interests, and Center for Security Policy Senior Fellow Clare Lopez says if the motive was to seek Rahman’s release, the evidence all adds up.
“Think about this: What if the Benghazi raid, apparently by an al-Qaida-linked group called Imprisoned Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades, really intended to kidnap, not kill, Ambassador Chris Stevens?” Lopez said. “They would use the ambassador as a bargaining chip to exchange for the release of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdul Rahman.
“The group previously attacked our diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, the British ambassador, and the Red Cross in Misrata. What if those people, operating in close coordination with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and Gama’a Islamiyya only wanted to kidnap the ambassador?” Lopez asked.
The release of Rahman already has been an objective of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi. The British newspaper, The Guardian,reported that Morsi announced the goal in a Tahrir Square speech in June.
Lopez says Stevens may have believed he was the object of a kidnapping plot because of his actions at the time of the attack.
“The ambassador’s death was determined to be from smoke inhalation. It’s reported that he refused to come out of the building while it was on fire. Could it be that he knew that he was the target of an intended kidnapping, which is why he refused to come out?” Lopez said.
“What if Ambassador Steven’s death was not actually the intended outcome of their assault, in spite of the childishly emotional celebrations as his dead body was dragged all over the place?” Lopez said.
“If this scenario is true, then al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood are still out there looking for an American to kidnap and hold as a bargaining chip to trade for the Blind Sheikh,” he warned.
“Remember that this administration has refused to even admit the Benghazi attack was coordinated, planned, rehearsed,” Lopez said. “Their refusal to admit that is reprehensible because it leaves American diplomats and others unprepared for the likelihood that they remain targets for kidnapping by al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood?”
Lopez believes a visit from a member of a known terrorist group is an indication that a political deal is in the works.
“You’ll recall that the Obama White House and National Security Council received Hani Nour Eldin, a top Gama’a Islamiyya operative at the White House in June 2012,” Lopez said. “Gama’a Islamiyya is on the State Department Foreign Terrorist Organization list, so Eldin wasn’t eligible to receive a visa to come to the United States unless he got a waiver.”
Politico reported in July that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano saidEldin was not a security threat.
“Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee Wednesday that Hani Nour Eldin, a self-professed member of a banned Egyptian militant group, was cleared by the State Department before being granted a visa,” Politico reported. “She says he was vetted by the Homeland Security Department before being allowed into the country, and scrutinized a third time by the Secret Service before he was granted access to the White House.”
Lopez believes the White House may seriously be considering Rahman’s release.
“Here’s the question: Why, if they knew ahead of time that he was coming to ask for the release of the Blind Sheikh, and that they were going to say no, would they give him a visa, receive him so openly, and talk to him at all?” Lopez said.
“Why bring him over at all if, as the Department of Justice now says, they’d decided to refuse his request?” Lopez said.
AQIM says the call for more violence is in response to the 15-minute YouTube video produced by a man who, according to reports, worked as a federal informant to avoid a longer prison term for bank fraud.
Lopez says it’s certain the movie is only a sideshow in the bigger drama.
“What we know for 100 percent sure is that it was not that horrid little film on YouTube that triggered these attacks, either Benghazi or Cairo – attacks for which there was, in any case, days of intelligence warning ahead of time,” Lopez said.
“But we can say that the witless as well as duplicitous administration response in focusing solely on this obscure, execrably amateurish film plays right into the agenda of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, working closely with the Hillary Clinton Department of State. Their goal seems to be criminalization of criticism of Islam, as per the Istanbul Process, which is the result of UN Human Rights Council Resolution 16/18,” Lopez said.
She said the resolution passed in April 2011 and if implemented, would bring U.S. law into compliance with Islamic law on slander, which is a key objective of the OIC’s 10-year program.
“So, if it’s not that, however useful as a secondary objective, what is a possibility is it was really about coercion to achieve release of the Blind Sheikh,” Lopez said.
Regardless of the motive, American Enterprise Institute’s terrorism analyst Michael Rubin says al-Qaida’s warnings should not be ignored.
“Certainly, the U.S. should take al-Qaida’s warnings seriously, but one of the problems with U.S. counterterrorism, is we’re always working to prevent the last terrorist attack,” Rubin said. “Al-Qaida isn’t going to attack us in the way we expect, but they will attack again.”
Rubin also says it’s a mistake if anyone believes al-Qaida was finished.
“Al-Qaida was down, but they’re not out. We got a boost from killing Bin Laden, but the second we announced we got him, we put an expiration date on the intelligence trove we found with him,” Rubin said.
“The operation in Libya shows that al-Qaida is far more potent than the CIA realized; some of the luster just wore off David Petraeus,” Rubin also said, referring to Obama’s appointed CIA director.
Neither the White House nor the State Department has responded to WND’s request for comment on the reports.
WND reported last week the attacks are part of a new jihadi offensive against the West and not in response to the 15-minute movie.
The attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, were planned by the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafist parties to punish the West for opposing Islam, according to former PLO operative and Muslim Brotherhood member-turned-terrorism analyst Walid Shoebat.
Shoebat said translations of Arabic documents show that radical Muslims are beginning an offensive against the West.
Shoebat said, however, that the movie has become a factor in the most recent acts.
“This film is being used to create all sorts of havoc,” Shoebat said.
Press reports from last week showed that the U.S. government had at least 48 hours warning about the attacks.
The British newspaper, the Independent, reported that U.S. diplomatic officials received a warning two days before they happened.
According to senior diplomatic sources, the U.S. State Department had information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo that Americans may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and “lockdown,” under which movement is severely restricted, the Independent said.
However, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney denied reports of the advance warning.
“I have seen that report, and the story is absolutely wrong. We were not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent. That report is false,” Carney said.
The White House also maintains that the violence is in response to the YouTube video, as indicated by Press Secretary Jay Carney’s statement.
“We also need to understand that this is a fairly volatile situation and it is in response not to United States policy, not to obviously the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video, a film that we have judged to be reprehensible and disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it, but this is not a case of protests directed at the United States writ large or at U.S. policy. This is in response to a video that is offensive to Muslims,” Carney said.
The suggestion for the U.S. to release the Blind Sheikh has gotten traction lately, with a report in The Blaze that there’s discussion of a humanitarian “transfer” of the mastermind of the 1993 terror attack to Egypt.
According to a report at Jihad Watch, a veteran intelligence analyst for The Blaze said he met with an Obama administration officials who said it’s being considered.
Fox News reported today that it obtained an intelligence report that before the recent attacks on U.S. assets, there was online incitement for “sons of Egypt” to pressure the U.S. to release Rahman, even if it involved burning down the embassy.
The suggestion for Rahman’s release, however, goes back months, as National Review noted al-Arabiya reported last winter that Obama was offering to release Rahman in exchange for 16 American “civil-society activists” who were detained in Egypt.
Those included the son of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. They later were allowed to leave Egypt.
