Perspective

On the fifth anniversary of the ‘9-11’ attacks, more
citizens than ever before are questioning official versions of the attacks and
the adequacy of the 9-11 Commission Report. According to an August 2006 Scripps
Howard/Ohio University national survey, 36% of Americans believe 9-11 was an
‘inside job’ with government agencies complicit in what occurred.[2] A
Zogby poll in May 2006 found that 42% of Americans believed that official
explanations and the 9-11 Commission were covering up the truth.[3]
There has been a steady stream of authors, journalists, researchers and media
personalities coming forward to declare that 9-11 was an ‘inside job’. Some of
the more prominent include the theologian Dr David Ray Griffin author/editor of
a number of books on 9-11 including 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals
Speak Out (2003), Michael Ruppert author of Crossing the Rubicon:
The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil (2004),
and actor Charlie Sheen who went public with his views on March
2006.[4] Finally,
a website was recently created by a committee of scholars criticizing official
explanations and also arguing that 9-11 was an ‘inside job’.[5]
With the ever growing number of those claiming 9-11
was an inside job and that there was an official cover up, it comes as no
surprise that many now view the 9-11 attacks as part of an historical pattern
of governments using ‘false flag’ operations to overcome opposition to their
policy objectives. A false flag operation is best described as a covert
operation conducted by “governments, corporations, or other organizations,
which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other
entities.”[6]
An increasing number of books and videos are now
discussing historic false flag operations in relation to 9-11. The more
prominent include David Griffin’s, The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing
Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 (2004); Barrie Zwicker’s
more recent, Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9/11 (2006); and
Alex Jones recent video, TERRORSTORM: A History of Government Sponsored
Terrorism (2006). Griffin, Zwicker and Jones examine
historic 'false flag' operation to present the historical context for analysis
of events surrounding 9-11 and the contrived “war on terror”. In historic
‘false flag’ operations such as the burning of the Reichstag in 1933, the 1953
Iranian coup, the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, intelligence operatives from
governments staged events that would be blamed on targeted groups in a way that
would facilitate government polices to increase their power or topple foreign
governments. More controversially, Griffin argues that the 1941 Pearl Harbor
attack was a false flag operation and that this demonstrates the magnitude to
which false flag operations can be conducted. [7]
Zwicker and Jones discuss how the Nazis directly
benefited by covertly orchestrating the burning of the Reichstag and blaming it
on communists. Similarly, they describ how US and British policies directly
benefited by false flag operations aimed at the popular nationalist Prime
Minister of Iran, Muhammad Mossadeq, who was accused of pro-communist
sympathies. This led to a coup in 1953 whereby the Shah of Iran was able to
assume dictatorial powers that reversed the controversial nationalization
policies of Mossadeq. The 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident according to Zwicker,
Jones and Griffin was another false flag operation whereby communist North
Vietnam was blamed for two attacks on US warships. Documents later released
conclusively showed that the second attack never occurred. They also describe
failed false flag incidents such as the attack on the USS Liberty by the
Israeli Airforce in 1967 during the six day war. They claim that the sinking of
the Liberty would have put great pressure on the US to enter the war in support
of Israel which planned to shift responsibility to Egypt.
Griffin, Zwicker, and Jones have all cited the
Operation Northwoods documents that showed the Joint Chiefs of Staff had
approved false flag operations in the early 1960s that involved terrorist
attacks against American infrastructure and even cities. These covert actions
would have been blamed on Cuba and used to justify a military invasion but were
never approved by the Kennedy administration
(http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/ ). Griffin, Zwicker and Jones use
this and other cases as evidence that false flag operations have a long history
in the covert actions of many governments including the US.
Having persuasively presented evidence that
governments have in the past used false flag operations, Griffin, Zwicker and
Jones turn their attention to the 9-11 attack; and, to varying degrees, a
number of other ‘terrorist attacks’ in Britain, Spain and Bali. In all these
cases, Griffin, Zwicker and Jones present evidence that these were false flag
operations. They cite historic documents, interview whistleblowers, identify
inconsistencies in official versions, and circumstantial evidence that all
point to these recent terrorist attacks being false flag operations. In terms
of the 9-11 attack in the US and the July 7, 2005 (7-7) attack in
Britain, they examine security drills that led to much confusion on the part of
security forces that permitted security lapses that may have allowed the
attacks to occur. Zwicker and Jones argue that such drills are a characteristic
of false flag operations where it is critical to have security forces not
involved in such covert operations stand down. They present persuasive evidence
that the war on terror is contrived with the goal of depriving citizens in
the US and western democracies of their civil liberties, and to neutralize
domestic opposition to the war in Iraq.
Who was really behind 9-11 and other terrorist
attacks, and why?
With regard to the question of who was really behind
9-11 and other terrorist attacks, a number of 9-11 authors provide what they
believe to be the real factors driving the contrived war on terrorism. To
facilitate this study, I will concentrate on four that represent the major
thrust of 9-11 arguments: Griffin, Zwicker, Jones, and Ruppert, and simply refer
to them collectively as the 9-11 authors. To varying degrees the 9-11 authors
point to efforts led by the US and Britain to capture the oil resources of
'rogue nations' such as Iraq in order to gain control of the oil industry. By
capturing Iraq, driving oil prices up, corporate interests in the US and
Britain stand to make enormous short term profits. As the supply of oil reaches
peak production, an idea most strongly championed by Michael Ruppert, this
ensures that US/British corporate interests are in the driver’s seat for
benefiting in the long term from skyrocketing oil prices as industrializing
nations such as India and China generate increasing demand for oil. Control
over the vital oil industry would therefore enable US corporate dominance in global
financial markets well into the next generation. This would make China and
India, potential future competitors to US global dominance, more subservient to
US policies.
The 9-11 authors argue that it is not just oil
interests seeking to benefit from wars in Iraq, but also the armaments
industries in the US which are by far the world’s largest weapons suppliers.
Essentially, US corporate contractors need a contrived war on terrorism to
continue to sell their military products to the Pentagon which needs to conduct
punitive missions against rogue nations. The ultimate rationale for the arms
industry is driven by corporate greed to take advantage of security threats to
maintain a perpetual war economy that is funded at the expense of the ordinary
tax payer. Eisenhower’s famous farewell address warning of the dangers of the
military-industrial complex is most commonly cited as evidence of such a
danger.
In addition to US financial dominance
and corporate greed, the 9-11 authors offer their ultimate rationale for
the contrived war on terrorism. This is the theory of Pax Americana
that what drives US policy is the need to establish US hegemony around the
planet. Griffin, Jones, Ruppelt and Zwicker argue that by the Bush
administration claiming that 'rogue states' are 'harboring terrorists', and
developing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that would be given to the
terrorists, the US has the rationale to launch preemptive wars and establish
control over nations opposed to US dominance. They cite neo-conservative
figures associated with the New American Century Project as exponents of this
imperialist agenda to establish US global dominance.[8] Consequently, the war on Iraq was justified using the
WMD thesis that Saddam Hussein was allied with terrorist groups that he would
have used as proxies to launch such weapons on the US. While US global hegemony
would be justified on the need to make the world safe for democracy, the true
rationale according to 9-11 authors is to make the world profitable for key US
corporations allied with the oil and armaments industries.
The assessments of the 9-11 authors of false flag
operations as being rooted in the greed of the oil and armaments
industries, and the imperialist designs of neo-conservatives continues to
attract much support from many disenchanted with official explanations for
terrorist attacks on the US and Britain; the spinning of the intelligence data
used to justify the war on Iraq; and the enormous profits generated by
corporations involved in the oil and armaments industries. In particular,
Griffin’s, Zwicker’s and Jones’ analysis of false flag operations is helpful in
identifying the catalyst for government policies that result in diminished
civil liberties and dampen domestic opposition to preemptive wars ostensibly
aimed to "protect democracy", but which provide windfall profits for
large US corporations. The 9-11 authors analyses focusing on US imperialism
helps identify the enormous influence of neo-conservatives in the Bush
administration in dictating official government policy. There is however a
missing factor in the analyses of the 9-11 authors focusing on the trifecta of
the oil industry, the military-industrial complex, and US imperialism. A factor
that provides a deeper level of analysis for what is really driving US policies
in the Middle East and elsewhere around the planet. The 9-11 authors are
missing the exopolitical factor.
Understanding the Exopolitical Perspective
Exopolitics is based on extensive evidence that
extraterrestrial civilizations are visiting the Earth and that this evidence is
systematically covered up by both government agencies and military departments
in the US and other major nations in what has been described as a “Cosmic
Watergate”.[9] The mainstream scientific view that the speed of
light presents and insurmountable obstacle to the physical presence of
extraterrestrial visitors has been increasingly challenged by new theories
concerning faster than light speed travel.[10] Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific
Revolutions (1962) suggests that our understanding of science periodically
undergoes a paradigm shift. Exopolitics represents a paradigm shift in
political thinking about the underlying forces driving domestic and
international affairs.
Not only is evidence of extraterrestrial visitation in
the contemporary era being covered up; but, perhaps more significantly,
evidence of an historic extraterrestrial presence that has sponsored past human
civilizations is also covered up. This means that both the knowledge and
technology of extraterrestrials currently visiting the Earth, and historic
evidence of earlier extraterrestrial visitations, have become paramount
national security concerns that are kept hidden from the general public. The
true extent of the national security implications concerning public disclosure
of an extraterrestrial presence is revealed in a Brookings Institute study for
NASA in 1960 claiming that public discovery of an extraterrestrial intelligence
could lead to the collapse of Western civilization.[11] The impact of an extraterrestrial presence and its
implications for politics, science, economy and culture, could very quickly
lead to a collapse of vital institutions for every country on the planet
thereby threatening the sovereignty of major nations. Furthermore, according to
a number of former military whistleblowers, UFOs have disabled or destroyed US
nuclear missiles on a number of occasions.[12] This partly reveals the secret concern of policy
makers over extraterrestrial visitors. In short, the national security
implications of an extraterrestrial presence trumps every other national
security issue, and is the Rosetta Stone for understanding the true dynamics
underlying global politics and international finance.[13]
Evidence for the cover-up of an extraterrestrial
presence is extensive and persuasive. Hundreds of credible whistleblowers have
emerged from the military, government and corporate sectors to describe the
cover up various aspects of UFOs and the extraterrestrial hypothesis. The
testimonies of many of these government whistleblowers are available through
private organizations such as the Disclosure Project.[14] Furthermore, leaked classified documents have
disclosed critical features of the national security system created to deal
with the extraterrestrial presence. Many of these documents are available
through the popular “Majestic Documents” website.[15] Numerous websites, books and organizations have
presented the evidence and testimonies of thousands of witnesses,
‘experiencers’, researchers and whistleblowers revealing the extent of
extraterrestrial visitation to Earth.
The 9-11 authors fail to identify a number of key
exopolitical factors behind false flag operations. These factors have to
do with the political management system created for extraterrestrial affairs;
the technology and knowledge about extraterrestrials that are located on the
territory of different foreign governments; and with the ‘black budget’ needed
to finance covert operations based on acquiring extraterrestrial technologies
and information. Given the highly classified nature of extraterrestrial
affairs, all these activities occur without any congressional or legislative
oversight in the US and other major nations such as Britain, Russia and China.
I will now examine five exopolitical factors that need to be considered when
analyzing false flag operations in general.
Five exopolitical factors and False Flag Operations
The first factor is the existence of a covert web of
interlocking governmental and military agencies in the US and around the world
created to manage extraterrestrial affairs. Often described as the ‘secret
government’, this organization operates in parallel with the more conventional
political system comprising elected representatives and appointed government
officials. This is similar to Lewis Lapham’s distinction between the
“provisional government” and the “permanent government” wherein the former comprises
elected officials while the latter comprises special interest groups drawn from
corporations, military and educational sector.[16] Individuals in the conventional system of government,
Lapham’s “provisional government”, are only briefed on the basis of “need to
know” and not due to their rank or position. Consequently, it has been
demonstrated that sitting Presidents can be kept out of the loop as occurred in
the cases of presidents Carter and Clinton.[17] President Clinton reportedly said to senior White
House reporter Sarah McClendon: "Sarah, there's a secret government within
the government, and I have no control over it."[18] The ‘secret government’ managing extraterrestrial
affairs sits at the apex of the unelected “permanent government” and has been
described as MJ-12 or PI-40.[19]
Major false flag operations such as 9-11 almost
certainly involve the ‘secret government’ using such operations as part of its
broader agenda in managing extraterrestrial affairs. It is very unlikely that
transitions in the “provisional government”, such as the 2000 election of
George Bush and the appointment of neo-conservatives to prominent positions
would be capable of producing false flag operations on the order of 9-11. The
ascendancy of neo-conservatives to high government positions would not be
sufficient to enable false flag operations to proceed due to the potential
opposition of many career bureaucrats and government officials. Only a more
long term and secretive management system that exists outside of the rotation
of elected political officials could hope to rein in career bureaucrats and
government officials. Consequently, given the magnitude of the 9-11 attacks,
this could only have occurred with the assent of the secret (or permanent)
government that used neo-conservatives appointed to senior positions in the
Bush administration (the ‘provisional government’) as the instruments for
achieving the former’s policy goals. The uncritical support of major governments
such as Britain and Australia in subsequent policies adopted by the Bush
administration, is due to the ‘secret governments’ of these nations
coordinating their policies in a global management system created for
extraterrestrial affairs. This involves many quasi governmental organizations
such as the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, and the Council of
Foreign Relations that supply the resources and leadership for dictating long
term secret government policies around the planet.[20]
The second factor to consider for false flag
operations is the need by the secret government to maintain exclusive control
of all extraterrestrial technology and evidence found around the world. This
involves the removal of any physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitation
from the public realm, and the relocation of this to the classified scientific
laboratories of the US or other major nations. There are numerous instances of
extraterrestrial vehicles crashing around the planet. These have been
documented and analyzed in a recent book by Ryan Woods, Majic Eyes Only.[21] In
all these cases, governments are expected to comply either through inducements
or sanctions with these covert efforts led by the secret government which is
global in scope. National leaders who do not comply run the great risk of being
removed from office.
For example, the 1979 coup that removed the Prime
Minister of Granada, Sir Eric Gairy, was a false flag operation designed to
prevent Gairy from getting the United Nations to seriously move forward in
investigating the UFO issue. Gairy was instrumental in Grenada's sponsorship of
the only United Nations Resolution dealing with UFOs (passed in 1978) and was
scheduled to meet with UN Secretary General on 13 March 1979, to discuss
further UN initiatives on UFOs based on extraterrestrial material recovered in
Grenada.[22] On the same day of his meeting, his government was
removed from power in a revolutionary coup led by Maurice Bishop. Gairy’s case
suggests that false flag operations resulting in coups led by disgruntled elites
may be a result of a policy of forcing out of office non-compliant national
leaders to the global system covering up UFO/extraterrestrial information. Such
leaders are replaced by more compliant individuals who can be easily
discredited or removed in the future.
The third exopolitical factor is the need to gain
control of any territory that once hosted ancient civilizations that contain
artifacts providing valuable information or technology left by
extraterrestrials. These ancient civilizations have buried within their ruins
much information and even technology gained through extraterrestrial
intervention that allegedly occurred millennia ago. For example, there is much
evidence that the ancient Sumerian civilization was sponsored by an extraterrestrial
civilization known as the Anunnaki.[23] Sumer, known as the cradle of western civilization,
was located in southern Iraq and was subjected to a number of archeological
excavations supported by Saddam Hussein’s regime.
There is growing evidence that the 1991 and 2003 US
led military interventions in Iraq were aimed at gaining access to some of the
ancient archeological sites in Iraq in order to find any information or
technology concerning the Anunnaki.[24] The fabrication of intelligence data concerning
Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and alliance with terrorist
organizations was a false flag operation intended to justify US military
intervention in 2003 in order to ensure Iraq’s extraterrestrial assets could
not be exploited by Hussein’s regime or fall into the hands of strategic
competitors such as Russia and China. Evidence for this fabrication came in the
September 2006 Report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that
confirms that intelligence data used to justify the Iraq war was ‘overstated’.[25]
The fourth exopolitical factor concerns the use of
weather modification technologies that former Secretary of State William Cohen
confirmed as existing in 1997.[26] False flag operations using weather modification
technologies are used to shift blame onto ‘unpredictable’ environmental
factors, when in fact such technologies are being used as an instrument of
national policy. Such technologies can be used to create natural disasters or
events that coerce nations into complying with the global secrecy system
concerning extraterrestrial affairs. This global secrecy system ensures that
scientific information, alternative energy technologies and information
concerning extraterrestrials is not released into the global media. For
example, the December 2004 Asian Tsunami affected a number of nations including
the Indian sub-continent. At the time, India had been at the forefront of a
growing number of disclosures concerning extraterrestrial visitation.[27]
It is very possible that the Asian Tsunami served as a
signal to India that weather modification technologies could be used if India
pursued its disclosure policies. Subsequently, the Bush administration signed
in July 2005 an extraordinary agreement to help India develop its nuclear
industry, and continued to allow US industries to outsource jobs to India. This
suggests that a mix of inducements and sanctions using weather modification
technologies is used to gain the compliance of rising nations such as India
that might otherwise challenge the global secrecy system.
The final exopolitical factor concerns the ‘real’
black budget in the US. Official estimates of the black budget by the
Federation of American Scientists (FAS) focus on CIA disclosures revealing the
true size of the budget funding the activities of all US intelligence agencies.
Revealed by the CIA to be 26.7 billion dollars for fiscal year 1997, this money
appears in single line items on the annual Pentagon budget, and has been
estimated by the FAS to be 30.1 billion for fiscal year 2007. Conventional
wisdom is that the ‘black budget’ is funded by the Pentagon which creates dummy
projects and exaggerates the costs of actual defense expenditures (e.g., toilet
seats), and channels all these funds into ‘deep black’ projects. However, the
real size of the black budget is estimated to be closer to one trillion dollars
per calendar year which is more than double the whole Pentagon budget of $420
billion for Fiscal Year 2006. This vast sum of money is accumulated by the CIA
not for ensuring US corporate profits nor for financial dominance, but to fund
a secret network of deep black projects that constitute a second Manhattan
Project.[28]
In his book, The Dark Alliance, Gary Webb
revealed compelling evidence that the CIA was involved in the drug trade, and
that local law enforcement agencies were deliberately undermined in their
efforts to capture the major players in the drug trade due to CIA intervention.
Evidence for this has been amassed by Michael Ruppert on his From the
Wilderness website and book, Crossing the Rubicon.[29] If
the CIA is complicit in the funneling of drugs into the US in order to generate
an enormous pool of illicit funds, the main purpose of these funds is not to
enrich ‘drug barons’ or corrupt politicians, but to fund the second Manhattan
Project. Furthermore, profits generated from the armaments, oil and other
industries, both legal and illicit, are accumulated by CIA front companies that
are also funneled into deep black projects that escape Congressional scrutiny.
These highly immoral funding activities are tolerated on the basis of the
national security concern of hiding the true extent of the extraterrestrial
related projects created in response to an extraterrestrial presence.
Conclusion: Incorporating the Exopolitical Perspective
on 9-11 and False Flag Operations
False flag operations can lead to US military
intervention in areas that can help maintain the drug trade that the CIA uses
to generate funding for black budget projects. False flag operations such as
the Tonkin incident and the September 11 attack led to military intervention in
areas vital for the drug trade: Indochina and Afghanistan. According to Zworkin
and Jones, the Tonkin incident was orchestrated to ensure that the US would
enter the war in Vietnam to maintain US global hegemony through military
efforts to prevent communist expansion in Indochina, and provide armaments
industries with new weapons orders. However, the Vietnam war fulfilled deeper
exopolitical purposes for the US, one of which was to help the CIA to profit
from lucrative drug running operations. This is something that Ruppert himself
identifies but he opposes an exopolitical perspective due to his refusal to
consider evidence substantiating UFOs.[30] Similarly, the US intervention into Afghanistan was
also motivated, according to Ruppert, by the desire to restore the drug trade
that had been threatened by the policies of the fundamentalist Taliban regime
that had all but eliminated the heroin production cycle.[31]
The 9-11 authors provide a cogent case that recent
terrorist attacks in the US, Britain and other countries have the
distinguishing features of false flag operations that have been used in the
past by governments to target potential opponents, create contrived threats,
and to erode civil liberties. The various books and videos dealing with 9-11 as
a false flag operation are powerful warnings of the extent to which governments
can go in order to augment their power. In explaining the ultimate goal of
these false flag operations, the level of analysis of the most well known 9-11
authors, Jones, Zwicker, Ruppert and Griffin do not go deep enough into
revealing the true agenda and beneficiaries.
According to Jones, Zwicker and many others, the
ultimate beneficiaries of false flag operations are the corporate barons behind
the oil and armaments industries, and the imperialistic designs of US
neoconservatives currently dominating the Bush administration. This supposedly
provides a persuasive explanation for who is ultimately behind the war on
terrorism and why it is being pursued. Rather than corporate greed and
imperialistic intentions driving the war on terrorism, there are deeper factors
that concern covert policies involving deeply classified projects involving
extraterrestrial technologies funded by illicit black budget sources that use
front companies in the oil and armaments industries. This is where the
explanations for 9-11 offered by Griffin, Jones, Ruppert and Zwicker do not go
far enough in identifying the true parameters of the ‘inside job’ that led to
9-11. Corporate greed and neo-conservative imperialism are not the driving
force behind the war against terrorism, but the vehicles used to generate funds
for a second Manhattan project that trumps all other national security concerns
in the US and other major nations.
With the internet and increased communications
threatening to undermine the global secrecy system covering up evidence
confirming an extraterrestrial presence, the war on terror provides a means of
distracting the public, discrediting researchers seeking to expose this
evidence. The war on terrorism also provides a useful cover for continuing to
generate enormous sums of revenue for a second Manhattan project that escapes
government oversight and to increase the power of the secret government in
control of the distribution of this revenue. The authors and researchers
associated with the thesis that 9-11 was an ‘inside job’ have pointed us in the
right direction in terms of government complicity. They deserve credit for
helping open the eyes of the American public to what really transpired in 9-11
as evidenced in the recent Zogby and Scripps polls. However, the 9-11
authors do not identify the different exopolitical factors that reveal the
deeper agenda behind false flag operations. This is understandable given the way
in which advocates of a ‘Cosmic Watergate’ concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial
visitation have been ridiculed in the past. Invoking evidence pointing to a
“Cosmic Watergate” could easily be perceived by some as a means of jeopardising
public consideration of objective studies of 9-11. Even worse, considering
exopolitical factors may even lead to accusations of mis-information designed
to throw 9-11 researchers off track. However, surveys such as the 2002 Roper
Poll show that approximately 70% of the American public believes the government
is not telling the truth about UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation.[32]
This suggests that there is great benefit in connecting the 9-11 and UFO cover
ups to better understand the key actors and institutions involved in false flag
operations and possible exopolitical factors. It is only through a systematic
understanding of the exopolitical perspective that the true motives
underscoring the ‘war on terror’ and the nature of the ‘secret government’ can
be fully gauged, and a durable solution found that prevents future false flag
operations.
