I was just hunting UFOs, says Pentagon's UK hacker

By Michael HoldenThu Apr 27, 11:20 AM ET
To the United States, he is a seriously dangerous man who put the nation's security at risk by committing "the biggest military computer hack of all time." But Briton Gary McKinnon says he is just an ordinary computer nerd who wanted to find out whether aliens and UFOs exist. During his two-year quest, McKinnon broke into computers at the Pentagon, NASA and the Johnson Space Center as well as systems used by the U.S. army, navy and air force. U.S. officials say he caused $700,000 worth of damage and even crippled vital defense systems shortly after the September 11 attacks.

The unemployed computer programmer is now battling extradition to the United States, where, if found guilty, he faces up to 70 years in jail and fines of up to $1.75 million. His lawyer fears he could even be sent to Guantanamo Bay. It's all a far cry from how he first got into hacking: watching a film about a teenage boy who breaks into a military central computer and almost starts World War Three. "I had seen the film 'War Games' and I do remember clearly thinking at the time, that's amazing -- a great big military computer system and a young, spotty teenager," the softly spoken 39-year-old told Reuters in an interview.

"HACKER'S HANDBOOK"
A decade later, McKinnon, armed with information gleaned from the book, "The Hacker's Handbook," began his snooping. During 2000-1 from his home in Hornsey, north London, and using a computer with just a limited 56K dial-up modem, he turned his sights on the American government and military. "My main thing was wanting to find out about UFOs and suppressed technology," he said insisting his intention was not to cause damage. "I wanted to ... find out stuff the government wouldn't tell you about." He said it was easy, despite being only a rank amateur. Using the hacking name "Solo," he discovered that many U.S. top-security systems were using an insecure Microsoft Windows program and had no password protection at all. "So I got commercially available off-the-shelf software and used them to scan large military networks ... anything I thought might have possible links to UFO information," he said.

ALIENS?
He said he came across a group called the "Disclosure Project," which had expert testimonies from senior figures who said technology obtained from extra-terrestrials did exist. One NASA scientist had reported that the Johnson Space Center had a facility where UFOs were airbrushed out of high-resolution satellite images. So, he hacked in. "I saw what I'm convinced was some kind of satellite or spacecraft but it was manufactured by no means I have ever seen before -- there were no rivets, no seams, it was like one flawless piece of material. And that was above the Earth." However, his probing came to an end in March 2002, when British police arrested him. "I was completely obsessed. I was completely addicted. It was like a huge game but I was getting very paranoid," he said. McKinnon's own story might sound like the plot of a movie, but the charges he faces are deadly serious. He argues he is being made a scapegoat by U.S. authorities to deter other would-be hackers rather than address their own security flaws. "I'm already being treated as a terrorist," he said. "I appear in an official American army pamphlet ... in a guide to combating terrorism in the 21st century." The next stage of his legal battle takes place on May 10. But he hints that whatever happens, he has a lot more to tell. "I can't talk about a lot of stuff that I found. It's just not the right time," he said with a smile.

Hacker fears 'UFO cover-up'
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
In 2002, Gary McKinnon was arrested by the UK's national high-tech crime unit, after being accused of hacking into Nasa and the US military computer networks.

He says he spent two years looking for photographic evidence of alien spacecraft and advanced power technology.

America now wants to put him on trial, and if tried there he could face 60 years behind bars.

Banned from using the internet, Gary spoke to Click presenter Spencer Kelly to tell his side of the story, ahead of his extradition hearing on Wednesday, 10 May. You can read what he had to say here.



Spencer Kelly: Here's your list of charges: you hacked into the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Department of Defense, and Nasa, amongst other things. Why?

Gary McKinnon: I was in search of suppressed technology, laughingly referred to as UFO technology. I think it's the biggest kept secret in the world because of its comic value, but it's a very important thing.

Old-age pensioners can't pay their fuel bills, countries are invaded to award oil contracts to the West, and meanwhile secretive parts of the secret government are sitting on suppressed technology for free energy.

SK: How did you go about trying to find the stuff you were looking for in Nasa, in the Department of Defense?

GM: Unlike the press would have you believe, it wasn't very clever. I searched for blank passwords, I wrote a tiny Perl script that tied together other people's programs that search for blank passwords, so you could scan 65,000 machines in just over eight minutes.

SK: So you're saying that you found computers which had a high-ranking status, administrator status, which hadn't had their passwords set - they were still set to default?

GM: Yes, precisely.

SK: Were you the only hacker to make it past the slightly lower-than-expected lines of defence?

GM: Yes, exactly, there were no lines of defence. There was a permanent tenancy of foreign hackers. You could run a command when you were on the machine that showed connections from all over the world, check the IP address to see if it was another military base or whatever, and it wasn't.

The General Accounting Office in America has again published another damning report saying that federal security is very, very poor.

SK: Over what kind of period were you hacking into these computers? Was it a one-time only, or for the course of a week?

GM: Oh no, it was a couple of years.

SK: And you went unnoticed for a couple of years?

GM: Oh yes. I used to be careful about the hours.

SK: So you would log on in the middle of the night, say?

GM: Yes, I'd always be juggling different time zones. Doing it at night time there's hopefully not many people around. But there was one occasion when a network engineer saw me and actually questioned me and we actually talked to each other via WordPad, which was very, very strange.

SK: So what did he say? And what did you say?

GM: He said "What are you doing?" which was a bit shocking. I told him I was from Military Computer Security, which he fully believed.

SK: Did you find what you were looking for?

GM: Yes.

SK: Tell us about it.

GM: There was a group called the Disclosure Project. They published a book which had 400 expert witnesses ranging from civilian air traffic controllers, through military radar operators, right up to the chaps who were responsible for whether or not to launch nuclear missiles.

They are some very credible, relied upon people, all saying yes, there is UFO technology, there's anti-gravity, there's free energy, and it's extra-terrestrial in origin, and we've captured spacecraft and reverse-engineered it.

SK: What did you find inside Nasa?

GM: One of these people was a Nasa photographic expert, and she said that in building eight of Johnson Space Centre they regularly airbrushed out images of UFOs from the high-resolution satellite imaging. What she said was there was there: there were folders called "filtered" and "unfiltered", "processed" and "raw", something like that.

I got one picture out of the folder, and bearing in mind this is a 56k dial-up, so a very slow internet connection, in dial-up days, using the remote control programme I turned the colour down to 4bit colour and the screen resolution really, really low, and even then the picture was still juddering as it came onto the screen.

But what came on to the screen was amazing. It was a culmination of all my efforts. It was a picture of something that definitely wasn't man-made.

It was above the Earth's hemisphere. It kind of looked like a satellite. It was cigar-shaped and had geodesic domes above, below, to the left, the right and both ends of it, and although it was a low-resolution picture it was very close up.

This thing was hanging in space, the earth's hemisphere visible below it, and no rivets, no seams, none of the stuff associated with normal man-made manufacturing.

SK: Is it possible this is an artist's impression?

GM: I don't know... For me, it was more than a coincidence. This woman has said: "This is what happens, in this building, in this space centre". I went into that building, that space centre, and saw exactly that.

SK: Do you have a copy of this? It came down to your machine.

GM: No, the graphical remote viewer works frame by frame. It's a Java application, so there's nothing to save on your hard drive, or at least if it is, only one frame at a time.

SK: So did you get the one frame?

GM: No.

SK: What happened?

GM: Once I was cut off, my picture just disappeared.

SK: You were actually cut off the time you were downloading the picture?

GM: Yes, I saw the guy's hand move across.

SK: You acknowledge that what you did was against the law, it was wrong, don't you?

GM: Unauthorised access is against the law and it is wrong.

SK: What do you think is a suitable punishment for someone who did what you did?

GM: Firstly, because of what I was looking for, I think I was morally correct. Even though I regret it now, I think the free energy technology should be publicly available.

I want to be tried in my own country, under the Computer Misuse Act, and I want evidence brought forward, or at least want the Americans to have to provide evidence in order to extradite me, because I know there is no evidence of damage.

Nasa told Click that it does not discuss computer security issues or legal matters. It denied it would ever manipulate images in order to deceive and said it had a policy of open and full disclosure, adding it had no direct evidence of extra-terrestrial life.

UFO ROUNDUP VOLUME 8 NUMBER 27 2003 - EDITOR: JOSEPH TRAINOR

The growing guerrilla war in Iraq has shown Saddam Hussein's Baath Party to be far more resilient than anyone realized. To understand their resilience and grass-roots strength, one must look at the party's mystical origins. Columnist Maureen Dowd says the Arabic word Baath stands for resurrection.

But Baath is not a word that translates well into English. A better synonym would be the Italian word Risorgimento.

Actually, the party had its origin in the little town of Asadabad in western Iran. Here, in 1839, was born Sayyid Jamal ad-Din, a Muslim mystic sometimes known as al-Afghani (Arabic for the Afghan--J.T.) and "the Sage of the East."

Jamal ad-Din was raised as a Shiite Muslim and, in 1845, his family enrolled him in a madrassa (Islamic school) in the holy city of Najaf in what is now Iraq. Here Jamal was initiated into "the mysteries" by "followers of Sheik Ahmad Asai (1753-1826). He also may have had some family connections with the Babis, followers of Siyyid Ali Mohammed al-Bab," an imam keenly interested in politics.

"After years studying Shia theology at the holy city of Najaf, Iraq, he spent several years in India, the Caucasus and Central Asia before surfacing in Afghanistan as the senior advisor to the pro-Russian ruler."

(Editor's Comment: Strange that a supposedly devout Muslim would head for India instead of making the traditional haj or pilgrimage to Mecca. It appears that Jamal ad-Din was one of the few Illuminati to actually set foot in the "hidden city" of Shambhala.)

Jamal ad-Din's travels and movements in occult circles brought him into repeated contact with Elena Petrovna von Hahn Blavatsky during the 1850s and 1860s. He and Madame Blavatsky met for the last time in Paris in 1884.

Through these occult circles, Jamal became friendly with the directors of the Illuminati regional headquarters at Djoum (pronounced Joom) in southern Lebanon, Sheik Medjuel el-Mezrab and Lydia Pashkov. Between 1870 and 1875, the Illuminati apparently began a project to replicate the Italian Carbonari in all the countries of the Middle East. Jamal began "sowing the dragon's teeth" first in Istanbul and then in Cairo, where he became an advisor to the Grand Mufti.

(Editor's Comment: And what does this have to do with the USA today? Well, a nephew of a latter-day Grand Mufti of Cairo is none other than Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the second in command of Al-Qaida.)

In Istanbul, Jamal and Omar Pasha organized a Masonic lodge, the Golden Square (from the compass-and-square symbol of Freemasonry--J.T.) which made deep inroads into the officer corps of the Ottoman Turkish army. But if the Golden Square was popular in Turkey, it caught on like wildfire in Iraq, particularly in "the Sunni triangle," the region around Tikrit.

During World War I, the Allies invaded Iraq, won a battle at Ctesiphon but got bogged down at Kut al-Amarna, where their army was surrounded by the Turks and the Arabs. After their surrender, over 100,000 Allied soldiers went to a P.O.W. camp in western Turkey, and the Golden Square was riding high in Baghdad.

Their success proved short-lived, however. The Ottoman Empire collapsed in October 1918, and the new League of Nations gave Iraq to UK as a "mandate." Feeling that they had been cheated of their independence, tribes like the al-Bufahadi and the al-Bunasiri revolted and began a guerrilla war that lasted until 1925.

During the 1920s, a new Golden Square grandmaster arrived in Baghdad. His name was Satia al-Husri and he began organizing new lodges. A former captain in the Ottoman Turkish army, Rashid Ali al-Qaylani, already a Golden Square member, abandoned his law practice to lead "the national revolution."

On October 3, 1932, the new kingdom of Iraq attained its independence and joined the League of Nations. King Faisal had barely seated himself on the throne when the Golden Square struck.

General Bakr Sidqi, like Rashid Ali, was a former Ottoman Turkish officer and longtime Golden Square member. In August 1933, he launched a pogrom against the Assyrian Christians, massacring thousands, over the protests of King Faisal.

On September 3, 1933, Faisal died and was succeeded by his son Ghazi, who, unknown to the old man, was a "member of the secret brotherhood," the Golden Square. Ghazi ruled uneasily for three years, and then, on October 29, 1936, Bakr Sidqi decided to stop being polite and "overthrew the government in the Arab world's first military coup."

But Bakr Sidqi was too friendly with the Ahali Socialist Party, so on August 11, 1937, he was assassinated by his "lodge brothers" of the Golden Square. "Six more (military) coups followed in quick succession," paving the way for the rise of Rashid Ali in 1940. During October 1932, the Golden Square received help from an unexpected source--the German mystics of the Thule Society. The new German ambassador to Baghdad, Fritz Grobe, was a long-time Thule member.

(Editor's Note: A relative, Arthur Grobe-Wutischsky, was a frequent contributor to Germany's occult magazine, Ostara, and in 1915 wrote the book Der Weltkrieg 1914 in der Prophetie (Translated: The 1914 World War in Prophecy), possibly the first use of the term "world war.")

A year later, in October 1933, Grobe purchased an Iraqi daily newspaper, al-Alim al-Arabi. At first the paper had a bad case of the blahs in terms of circulation. Then it began running Arab translations of Adolf Hitler's book Mein Kampf (German for My Struggle) and the numbers picked up a little. But when the staff began running The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, the circulation numbers jumped into the millions. Everybody in Iraq was reading al-Alim al-Arabi, including unlettered shepherds like Hussein al-Majid, the future stepfather of Saddam Hussein.

This led to Iraq's "newspaper war" of the 1930s, with al-Alim al-Arabi and the Jewish-owned daily, al-Hassad, constantly sniping at each other. Meanwhile, the Golden Square was building its "national revolution" by creating ideological organizations like the Arab Cultural Society and Mutana Bin Hartha Society.

(Editor's Note: Bin Hartha was the commander of the first Muslim army in Iraq.)

One of Rashid Ali's most ardent disciples was an Iraqi officer named Khayrallah al-Tulfah. His articles and his book, Al-Madaris, al-Yahudiyya wa al-Iraniyya fi al-Iraq (To give the Arabic a free translation: Against Iran and the Jews--J.T.), became the "voice of the national revolution."

But the Golden Square's top organizer was Yunis es- Sabawi, who founded a mass movement for young Iraqis, Al- Futuwwa, which he modeled after Germany's Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth). By 1939, Al-Futuwwa had grown to 63,000 members, complete with uniforms, battalions, daily lectures and military training, all fanatically loyal to Rashid Ali.

On April 1, 1941, the Golden Square struck. Four colonels staged a coup in Baghdad and proclaimed Rashid Ali the new prime minister. He organized a "government of national defense" and opened negotiations for a military alliance with Hitler's Third Reich.

Partly because of the riots in Palestine, there had already been anti-Jewish violence in Iraq. In September 1936, three Jews were murdered on a Baghdad street. In October 1937, an Iraqi nationalist firebombed a Baghdad synagogue on Yom Kippur. But Rashid Ali's ascension led to new unrest. "Anti-Jewish demonstrations took place in Baghdad, Mosul, Kirkuk, Irbil and Amara, often ending in violence."

Unwilling to lose Iraq--and its oil--Winston S. Churchill ordered the British Army to oust Rashid Ali. British troops landed and took Basra on May 16, 1941. In marked contrast to the invasion of 1915, the British moved swiftly up the Trigris and took Baghdad on May 30, 1941. Rashid Ali and his aides fled to Iran.

Staying behind were Khayrallah al-Tulfah, who was promptly arrested, and Yunis es-Sabawi, who had not been idle during Rashid Ali's brief reign. Sabawi had selected the best fighters in Al-Futuwwa and organized them into a new guerrilla army, al-Ketaib a-Shabab (Arabic for Youth Battalions--J.T.) for attacks on "enemies of Iraq."

On June 1, 1941, the Jewish festival of Shavuot, "a group of Jews in festive attire" approached the Al-Har Bridge "to welcome Abdul Illah, the pro-British regent, on his way to the capital." They were attacked by a mob of Iraqi soldiers and civilians. "Leading the mobs were the Ketaib a-Shabab cadres, which had been trained by es- Sabawi."

The result was Al-Farhud, anti-Jewish riots that broke out all over Baghdad. "In all, 179 persons were killed in the riots, and 2,118 were injured. The number of people whose property was looted was put at 48,584. Unspeakable brutalities were committed in the pogrom: rape, murder and the crushing of body organs of babes in arms, women and men, young and old. Synagogues were profaned and Torah scrolls defiled."

The Allied occupation authorities cracked down hard. Ketaib a-Shabab members were arrested and exiled to Iran. The Golden Square went underground once more. But not for long. Sporadic attacks on Jews continued throughout World War II. On December 17, 1942, al-Ketaib a-Shabab activists slit the throats of eight Jews in Sandur, in northern Iraq.

On July 24, 1943, ten Iraqis met at a hotel in Damascus, the capital of Syria, to found a new order, Al- Baath (The Risorgimento--J.T.) Nearly four years later, in April 1947, the first meeting of the Baath Party was held at Fallujah in Iraq.

The Golden Square had risen again.

The Baath and the Resistance
April 7,2006
Ibrahim Ebeid
April 7, 2006 is the fifty ninth anniversary of the establishment of the Baath Party. It is also the third anniversary of the birth of the Iraqi Resistance against the Anglo-American invasion and ongoing occupation of Iraq. Baathists, Arab progressive and Nationalist Movements across the Arab Homeland celebrate and salute this dear occasion.

AL-Moharer, its staff and friends pay tribute to this great party which is leading the Resistance in Iraq against the aggressors and the enemies of humanity whether Imperialist invaders, sectarians or Zionist racists.

The Arab Baath is a nationalist movement that addresses itself to Arabs of all religions and sects and looks at all religions and faiths with equal respect. It regards all Arabs as being part of one Nation both in the cultural and spiritual sense. The reunification of the Arab Homeland under freedom and social justice is its aim.

This great party is not alien to the Arab masses. It sprang from them and its roots are very deep in Iraq and all over the Arab Homeland. This movement represents the hopes and aspirations of all the Arabs and those who live on Arab lands or identify themselves with the Arab cause.

The De-Baathification –uprooting of the Baath- Bill introduced by George W. Bush will not work. It might work only by killing every Arab that exists across the Globe, this is impossible to achieve. It is impossible to annihilate an entire nation while most of its sons and daughters are not born yet. It is impossible to eradicate the Baath because Baath means resurrection and resurrection means rebirth, life for ever. Baath is against death, it is life, and it is continuity.

The Acting Commander in Chief of the Resistance, Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri, made the voice of the Resistance clear and loud to the American People and other nations: we tell the American people and all the peoples whose governments joined the aggression against us that, we the people of Iraq, who taught Humanity what it didn't know, and whose civilization history goes back to ten thousands years, when half of this world was plunged into oblivion, though we appreciate everyone, honest peoples, their interests and their right to live in a secure and peaceful environment! Rather we are on their side against tyrants, despots and against injustice, against aggressors, against terrorists and against terrorism. Our hope is big in these peoples to see them wake up, press their governments and force them to get out from our soil and stop the bloodshed which struck the innocents, sick people, elderly, children and women and which destroyed the very foundations of every day human life, otherwise this proud and dignified country will be a furnace and a graveyard for their children and death will reach them if the Occupation is due to last longer… for if the aggression continues, it will destroy its people wherever they are.

On this dear occasion Al-Moharer hopes that the Anti War Movements recognize the Iraqi National Resistance that is led by the Baath as the sole representative of the Iraqi people.

Those Organizations that were established under occupation are illegitimate and represent the occupation interests only and not those of the Iraqi people.

The leadership of Iraq, whose most of its members are in captivity, must be recognized, supported and released, they are the ones along with the leadership of the Resistance that are able and capable to restore security and progress to Iraq.

Also we demand our friends in the World to lend their support to the hundreds of thousands of Prisoners of war held in the occupation jails and in the sectarian militia secret prisons and work seriously for their release.

The Anti War Movement, especially in the United Sates, must work harder to force Washington to bring the troops home immediately and unconditionally.

Since the Palestinian struggle is inseparable part of the Arab National struggle we call upon all honest people in the World, especially in the United Sates, to take a firm stand in supporting the Palestinian people in their struggle to liberate their land from the grips of Zionism.

The Palestinians have the right to fight the Zionist invaders, liberate their historic land, return to their homes and establish their state on the entire land of Palestine.

Finally, on this dear occasion, we salute the International Anti War Movements for their heroic and noble stand for justice and peace but we expect them to do more.

The UFO Crash in Iraq
Apr 6, 2004
St George and Saddam’s Secret Treasure
A little lesson is mythology. The story of St. George and the Dragon is our Grassy Knoll conspiracy this week. In modern daytime, we can call this story President George and the Saddam. Of course, President Bush is St. George and Saddam Hueissen is the dragon. To familiarize ourselves about the story, the fire-breathing dragon was a cunning beast that possessed the gift of flight and the ability to project immense fire from its mouth. More often than not, the dragon was depicted as guarding a priceless treasure in an isolated area. The dragon ruthlessly guards the treasure from all seekers and will defend its treasure to its last breath. It doesn't actually know or how to use the treasure but simply guards it waiting for the next hero to attempt. The myth goes that one day St. George rescues a princess held captive by a dragon and in doing so, slays the dragon in a desperate vicious battle.

So, how does all this refer to a UFO downed in Iraq? Don’t worry; the Grassy Knoll is getting to that part. Jump to modern time. Right now Bush, (St. George) and Saddam, (Dragon) are locked in a key deadly showdown on weapons reductions and the threat of war looms in the air. Bush knows Saddam will not surrender his treasure, the so-called 93-mile plus missiles and chemical warfare plants without a fight. In fact, Saddam will fight till his last breath defending his treasure. One does not have to be an FBI profiler to predict the outcome of this scenario. All one has to do is look back at mythology and the dragon story. St. George will rescue the fair young maiden and rid the world of the evil dragon once and for all. And they lived happily ever after.
End of story right? Not on the Grassy Knoll its not. The Grassy Knoll has uncovered evidence that a UFO crash landed hundreds of years ago in the desert, which is now Iraq. Saddam has recovered the wreckage and his team of scientists has been studying the ship and its technology but to no avail. The United States government knows this and wants to lay claim to the alien technology much like they have done since 1947 when an alien craft crash-landed in Roswell, New Mexico. Since then, clandestine government organizations have been reverse engineering alien technology unlocking more and more secrets that the alien craft had long held secret. The United States government is hoping that by studying the Iraqi craft they can better understand the damaged portions of their own craft and by piecing together both crafts, build an actual working model and possibly pilot a new prototype plane or space exploration vehicle. Not to mention the weapons capacity that are surely on board both crafts. Let us not forget the inventions harvested so far from the Roswell crash in 1947. Fiber optics, the ability to transmit billions of bits of information in nanoseconds over thousands of miles. Fiber optic cables are hundreds of times more efficient than standard copper cable, many times thinner, and deliver a superior quality picture and sound when decoded. Stealth technology now make our jet fighters invisible to radar so they can safely hone in our their target and strike and return safely to base without the enemy knowing where the planes were. Another major by product from the Roswell crash is the microprocessor. Once computers were as big as office rooms, needing massive amounts of power for computing. Along came the microprocessor and computers have shrank in size to an almost unbelievable small size and while they shrank in appearance, the power of the computer had increased several thousand percent and is ever increasing in leaps and bounds each and every year.
1948 began the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Just two years before, they were allies winning World War Two bring peace to the planet. The question to be asked here is why so sudden that both governments became unfriendly? Was it because the Soviets knew of the Roswell crash? Did they also track via radar this vehicle streaking across the sky at a speed faster than any American or Russian plane? Were the Russians asking the tough questions that the Americans did not want to answer? This brings us to the brink of war once again. Will George the Dragon Slayer Bush invade Iraq, find and destroy the war components that Iraq has, and bring peace to the Middle East that hasn’t been seen for many years. Or, will the Dragon Saddam keep his treasure cleverly hidden in hopes of some day acquiring the knowledge to reverse engineer his own alien crashed vehicle and unlock his own technological inventions.
one only need look at history to see the outcome of this scenario

May 1, 2006
The United States deliberately passed up repeated opportunities to kill the head of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, before the March 2003 US-led invasion of that country. The claim, by former US spy Mike Scheuer, was made in an interview to be shown on ABC TV's Four Corners tonight. Zarqawi is often described as a lieutenant of Osama bin Laden, whose supporters masterminded the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. Mr Scheuer was a CIA agent for 22 years - six of them as head of the agency's Osama bin Laden unit - until he resigned in 2004. He told Four Corners that during 2002, the Bush Administration received detailed intelligence about Zarqawi's training camp in Iraqi Kurdistan. Mr Scheuer claims that a July 2002 plan to destroy the camp lapsed because "it was more important not to give the Europeans the impression we were gunslingers". "Mr Bush had Zarqawi in his sights almost every day for a year before the invasion of Iraq and he didn't shoot because they were wining and dining the French in an effort to get them to assist us in the invasion of Iraq," he told Four Corners. "Almost every day we sent a package to the White House that had overhead imagery of the house he was staying in. It was a terrorist training camp . . . experimenting with ricin and anthrax . . . any collateral damage there would have been terrorists." During the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, Zarqawi's presence in the north of the country was used by US officials to link Saddam Hussein to terrorism. Zarqawi has twice been sentenced to death by Jordan's state security court. He was first sentenced in absentia in November 2004 for planning the murder of a US diplomat in Jordan. The second sentence, last December, concerned plans to attack a border post between Iraq and Jordan.

New Israel Spy Satellite Beams First Images
by Staff Writers
Jerusalem (AFP) May 01, 2006
An Israeli satellite that can reportedly spy closely on Iran's nuclear programme has sent back its first "high quality" pictures since its launch into space, public radio reported Friday. Photographs from the D3 Eros B1 satellite with a 70-centimetre (28-inch inch) resolution were taken in orbit, 500 kilometres (310 miles) from earth and were transitted to the control room of Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI).
The first pictures were taken over Europe and did not therefore feature installations in Iran, the radio reported.
Israel's satellite was launched from a military space launch site in Russia on Tuesday and circumnavigates earth every 90 minutes. Israel considers the Islamic regime in Tehran its chief public enemy and has led international efforts to see Iran slapped with economic sanctions for its alleged nuclear weapons programme. Security fears have been heightened in Israel by menacing comments from Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has dismissed the Holocaust as a "myth" and has called for Israel to be "wiped off the map".

This Israeli spy satellite D3 Eros B1 image dated from 28 April 2006, and made available by the Israeli company ImageSat International NV, 30 April 2006, is reported to show a the Kassala airport in southern Sudan.

Russia Launches Israeli Satellite To Help Spy On Iran
Jerusalem (AFP) Apr 25, 2006
Israel put a new observation satellite into service from Russia on Tuesday which will increase the levels of surveillance of Iran's nuclear programme. The satellite was launched from a military space launch site in Russia's far eastern Amur region aboard a Topol solid-fuel rocket booster, the ITAR-TASS news agency said, quoting a spokesman for the facility, Alexei Kuznetsov. In a brief item posted on its website, the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot quoted an unnamed defence official as saying the satellite would be used to spy on Iran's nuclear activities. ITAR-TASS said the satellite is fitted with a powerful camera "which will permit Israeli intelligence to observe important Iranian targets in the most minute detail." The D33 Eros B1 satellite was successfully placed into orbit about 20 minutes after its launch, the agency said. The satellite was launched by ImageSat, a company that is part-owned by state-run Israel Aircraft Industries. ImageSat said the 280 kilogramme (616 pound) satellite is able to spot objects of no more than 70 centimeters (28 inches) long. "As soon as this satellite goes into orbit, it will place us in the major leagues of countries with photography satellites," ImageSat director general Shimon Eckhaus told Yediot Aharonot. The Eros B is an upgraded versions of the Eros A satellite which is already in operation. Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz hailed the successful satellite launch as "a great achievement of the defence establishment, the defence industries and Israel." "The satellite activity will increase Israel's ability to collect high-quality intelligence at great distances from Israel's borders," he said in a statement. "Israel has shown that it relies first and foremost on itself for protecting its citizens," he said. Israeli Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said this week that Iran represented an existential threat to the survival of the Jewish state. Although Tehran insists its programme is only designed to meet energy needs, Israel is convinced that the real intention is to develop the bomb. Israel itself is believed to be the only state in the Middle East to possess a nuclear arsenal, something that it refuses to confirm or deny.

IAEA Finds no Proof of Iranian Nuclear Weapons Program
By Juan Cole
04/29/06 "ICH' -- -- In its April 28 report, the International Atomic Energy Agency mentioned the UNSC mandate to Iran of last February:
' • re-establish full and sustained suspension of all enrichment related and reprocessing activities,
including research and development, to be verified by the Agency;
• reconsider the construction of a research reactor moderated by heavy water;
• ratify promptly and implement in full the Additional Protocol;
• pending ratification, continue to act in accordance with the provisions of the Additional
Protocol which Iran signed on 18 December 2003;
• implement transparency measures, as requested by the Director General, including in GOV/2005/67, which extend beyond the formal requirements of the Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, and include such access to individuals, documentation relating to procurement, dual use equipment, certain military-owned workshops and research and development as the Agency may request in support of its ongoing investigations. Despite not being fully in compliance with these demands, Iran maintains that it is in fact fulfilling its obligations under the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty. The IAEA found no smoking gun.
Here is its conclusion, which others will not quote for you at such length:
33. All the nuclear material declared by Iran to the Agency is accounted for. Apart from the small quantities previously reported to the Board, the Agency has found no other undeclared nuclear material in Iran. However, gaps remain in the Agency’s knowledge with respect to the scope and content of Iran’s centrifuge programme. Because of this, and other gaps in the Agency’s knowledge, including the role of the military in Iran’s nuclear programme, the Agency is unable to make progress in its efforts to provide assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran.
34. After more than three years of Agency efforts to seek clarity about all aspects of Iran’s nuclear programme, the existing gaps in knowledge continue to be a matter of concern. This ambiguity is being twisted by the Bush administration to make it seem as though Iran has done something illegal. The report can be read to say that there is no evidence that Iran is doing anything illegal. In fact, under the NPT, countries do have the right to do the sort of experiments Iran is doing. Most of the complaints are not about substance but about something else. Iran's president pledged to continue to cooperate with UN isnspectors. More about Iran later. For now see the next item, where an Iraqi VP says all hell would break loose in Iraq if the US attacked Iran.

Lobster for Iran
Mon, 1 May 2006
By Israel Shamir (Jörn Jermas)
"Iran's biggest threat since Nazis," said Israeli defence minister Shaul Mofaz, according to the Guardian; "The world must not wait! Since Hitler we Jews have not faced such a threat" as presented by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who "further stirred international outrage by calling on Israeli Jews to be resettled in Europe" (...thus the Guardian).

These guys are hard to please! In the 1930s, Hitler called for the Jews to be resettled outside of Europe, and they declared war on him. Now Ahmadinejad calls for the resettlement of Jews in Europe, and the Jews still respond with a war cry. That is, unless the Guardian missed the point in its report, and the outrage actually came from the Europeans who preferred the Palestinians to serve as unwilling host to these difficult guests.

Anyway I beg to differ: President Ahmadinejad is the biggest threat since Gerard de Nerval, a flamboyant French poet, promenaded a lobster on a blue ribbon lead, just as one exercises a dog, along the Palais Royal gardens in order to épater le bourgeois. A truly poetic soul, an enfant terrible if ever there was one, Ahmadinejad aimed to wake us up from our over-long after-dinner nap. What can the Iranian do if 'Jews' is the only magic word that awakens us from this slumber? Sexual innuendos would not bestir even a child fresh from his AIDS-awareness lesson. An attack of Christianity would be warmly applauded by the undeniable masters of European minds, Messrs Sauerkraut and Finkelrot. In this post-modernist age, when the Vagina Monologues have entered the matinee repertoire, it is not that easy to épater the increasingly blasé bourgeoisie. If Ahmadinejad would call for the resettlement of six million European Muslims outside of Europe, nobody would raise an eyebrow with the possible exception of Oriana Fallaci and M. Le Pen, who might object to his plagiarism. If he were to call for the erasure of France from the world map, the French would not sit up and pay attention: they think there is already a Brussels directive to this effect!

I admire Ahmadinejad. Not as a politician: let the Iranians judge him on this merit. Not as a divine: I leave this to the Muslims. But as a true poet who unveiled our hypocrisy and slaughtered our last sacred cow. This is the only possible explanation of his deeds and words: Iranians have really no reason to care about the Jewish holocaust, one way or other. Nobody accuses them, not even Mr Yehuda Bauer of Jerusalem's Holocaust memorial institute, who is prone to accuse the World and its niece for failing to save the Jews. The Persians from Cyrus to Hosroes to Mohammad Resa Shah were always good to Jews, and even in these mad days there is a large and flourishing Jewish community in Iran. Ahmadinejad spoke about the Holocaust like Hillary conquered Everest ˆ because it presented a challenge!

The innocent revisionist historians were so excited when he toyed with an idea of "finally discovering the truth". They prepared their well-thumbed books and diagrams of gas consumption and body heat. But Ahmadinejad is interested in the hard facts of World War II about as much as Nerval was interested in exercising his lobster. Acceptance of Holocaust dogma is a sign of submission to the Tel AvivˆNew York Axis, a sign of the new colonialism. Ahmadinejad refused it just as St Paul refused to accept the Noahide laws: not because St Paul wanted to partake of pagan sacrifices, but because he did not want to take his orders from the Jews.

The European leaders, the docile supporters of patent war criminals, of George W. Bush, the murderer of umpteen Iraqis, Afghanis and sundry Arabs, of Shaul Mofaz, the murderer of an eight-year-old girl (among hundreds of others) he killed last week in besieged Gaza, all sat up and expressed their outrage. They did not object when Israel strafed and bombed defenceless Gazans. When Israeli politicians threatened to turn Iran into "radioactive desert", they did not describe it as "a call to genocide". By his challenge, president Ahmadinejad saved the honour of human race, as only a poet can do.

I admire Iran, for the fiery crimson of their rose gardens and for the azure of its old mosques, for the ravishing beauty of its women, whose black eyelashes enhance the whiteness of their skin shining through their black chadors. I admire Iran for its marvellous painting that overcame the iconoclastic ravages. I admire Iran for the spiritual subtlety of its poets, who united their love to women with their adoration of God in one undivided chant just as the Song of Songs did. Their Rumi and Jami, Sa'adi and Ferdousi, Hafiz and Khayyam were of the most daring and sincere poets who ever graced our earth. Ahmadinejad is heir to their tradition, a daring mocker of our hypocrisy, a boy who saw through the emperor's new clothes. Even if the ham-fisted Yank should flatten this daredevil, and burn the rose gardens of Shiraz just as he once incinerated the blossoms of Nagasaki, we may be proud of Ahmadinejad, our contemporary who dared to tread on the tiger's tail.

II
The European and American reaction to Iran's nuclear program was that of Uncle Tom's slaveowner, Simon Legree, on learning of an escaped slave. How does this dusky dare to touch the white masters' toys? Their empty talk of an "Iranian threat" is designed for the ignorant: Iran has never, ever attacked a European nation since the wars for Anatolia in the 5th century BC; whereas European imperialists have repeatedly occupied and controlled Iran, most recently in 1942, or by proxy in 1953, when they deposed democratically-elected Mosaddeq and returned to dominate this ancient nation.

Yes, the old colonialism is dead. England can't rule over Iraq, nor France over Algeria, but the new collective colonialism, that of the imperialist Core of highly industrialised Western nations over the rest of the world, is hardly any better. The old masters have decided to pool their resources and powers to rule their erstwhile slaves together. They switched from the Athenian model where a citizen had his slave, to the Spartan model, where slaves belong to all Spartans. In this new collective imperialist universe, the US is the arm, the enforcer of this new colonialism, while the mind, the ideology is supplied by a vast syndicate that unites and coordinates the majority of newspapers and networks of both left and right from Madrid to Moscow and from Texas to Timbuktu, despite their pretensions of competition and rivalry.

This syndicate is the real powerbase of what two American professors, John Mearsheimer of Chicago, and Stephen Walt of Harvard, (M&W for short) politely called 'Israel Lobby in the US', though this syndicate has other fish to fry beside that of the State of Israel's. While fully approving of M&W's endeavour, we should say: they minimised rather than exaggerated the problem, for it is a global, rather than a local (the US) phenomenon. The fearsome AIPAC is just the visible tip of iceberg below which are miles and miles of solid ice: media lords, chief editors, their pundits, Masters of Discourse, in short. As if by a magic wand, the Iranian crisis made it visible to the naked eye: they have all cried out in one mighty voice like the legion of demons in the Capernaum synagogue in response to Christ's words.

In his thought-provoking speech Ahmadinejad said: "The vast Zionist network has been at the service of the imperialists for decades." This is open to an argument whether the Zionist network serves the imperialists, or the imperialists serve this network. It's an example of Managerial Revolution: Jews were managers for the imperialists, until they took over the show, some would say. Oh no, they remained docile to their imperialist overlords, argue others. Whatever position we take, the Zionists and the Imperialists are surely integrated and intermeshed, and if one accepts the idea of the Iranian threat to Israel, one subscribes to this demonic network.

The nations that refuse the Masters of Discourse are subjugated by force. A nuclear weapon serves as a great equaliser, as did the Smith & Wesson gun in the Wild West. In order to prevent too much equalisation, the American pioneers kept guns out of native hands. The same policy now drives the West in its attempts to keep nuclear power out of reach of Iranians.

A few days ago I was invited to a live discussion on Russian TV Channel One, where the Moscow BBC bureau chief rhetorically asked why a peaceful Iran would need ballistic missiles, and he listed the Iranian missile arsenal. He could not answer the question of why a peaceful Britain would need ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons! Actually, why would anybody need one? But if England, with its long and bloody history of subjugating the Third World from Ireland to Japan, may have these toys, then it is likewise the duty of any important country willing to protect its populace from the Western masters' whims.

Yes, Iran is still working on a peaceful program of atomic energy, but if and when that country decides to build the bomb, we may support this decision, as it would enhance peace. Actually, few people did more for the cause of world peace than Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and their associates Harry Gold and Klaus Fuchs. These wonderful men passed the secrets of American-built nuclear weapons to Russia, and thus saved Moscow and St Petersburg from the fate of Hiroshima. Without their heroic deed, the colonial masters would have turned Russia into a radioactive desert. Joseph Stalin passed the know-how to emerging China, and this was a very good deed -- otherwise the Americans wouldn't have hesitated to nuke Vietnam as they did Japan.

The Russian nuclear shield is the only thing Gorbachev and Yeltsin did not break down in their destruction of the Soviet Union, probably because they did not expect the patriotic forces to ever return to power in Moscow. This shield allows the Russians to disregard the nagging of Frau Merkel, and gives them their freedom of choice: to sell their oil and gas to Europe or to turn the stream towards China. It allows the Belarus people to have the president they elected by huge majority: without it, Lukashenka would share the fate of Noriega and Milosevic for his steadfast refusal to sell the assets of Belarus to George Soros. Let Iranians, too, have this freedom of choice, and restore balance in the region.

And to sincere well-wishers of our Israeli well-being I'll say: Iran is no danger. The truth is, the Jews could live extremely well in Palestine. By making peace with the native inhabitants in 1948, we would have kept our common home, Palestine, as the hub of the Middle East with Iraqi oil coming to Haifa refineries and trains from Baghdad to Cairo flying by Lydda and Jaffa, with Muslim pilgrims coming to al Quds on their way to Mecca, with Christians walking in the footsteps of Christ from Bethlehem to Nazareth and with Jews doing their aliya (this word meant an annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem like the Hajj, rather than a permanent immigration to Palestine as Zionists wont). We would prosper beyond our wildest dreams, as the prophets promised, if we were to kick the nasty old habit of separateness and dominance.

It is not too late even now, sixty years and many deaths later. For this purpose, we may take the advice of Ahmadinejad: let the exclusive Jewish state be eliminated from the map of the region to be replaced by one state of all citizens of the land, Jews or not. "The right to govern belongs to all people of Palestine, be they Muslims, Christians, or Jews", said Ahmadinejad, and by golly, only a Jewish supremacist may object to his words.

When I said this at the TV discussion in Moscow, I was attacked by the Chairman of a Russian Jewish Congress and Director of a Zionist Middle East Institute, a greasy and spotty bully of a man with hanging belly, a living cartoon from Der Sturmer, with the fitting name Satanovsky. "Watch out, - told me Satanovsky after the show, - apparently you have never been beaten hard enough. Here in Moscow we know of no restraints of democracy, my Jewish lads will tear your balls off like they did to many men like you. Israel should remain a Jewish state forever". Such Jewish Mafiosi are the real leaders of the Jewish Lobby and chief supporters of the Jewish state abroad. These sort of people lead the Jewish organisations in Russia, in America and elsewhere. They need a Jewish state to escape their lands in the hour of wrath, but we, the ordinary citizens of Israel, do not need it.

However, the Mafia can't rule forever. I take heart in the words of Ahmadinejad: "The young tree of resistance in Palestine is blooming and blooms of faith and desire for freedom are flowering. The Zionist regime is a decaying and crumbling tree that will fall with a storm. (Remember the parable of the barren tree? - ISH) Palestine is the meeting point of right and wrong. The destiny of the region will be decided in the land of Al-Qods and it will be a great honour to share in the victory of Palestine." The victory of Palestine is our victory and we shall be happy to share in it.

"Now, will there be a war?," one is often asked. I have no full confidence of George Bush, he does not share his plans with me. But while the gatekeepers of the Left say that Oil is the reason for the war, in my view Oil can be the reason for peace. As the price of oil has now crossed the $70 threshold, President Bush must decide whether he will survive its hike above $120 -- whether his voters in the red states will happily accept the advice of an American Jewish Congress pundit and director of their Israel/Middle East Office Eran Lerman (previously of Israeli intelligence) to stop driving cars every other day. Bush has the power to steer the US away from its perilous course, and tell to the Jewish Congress pundits to shove it.

And to my Israeli countrymen: I'll remind you of our age-long tradition of friendship with Iran. Two thousand years ago, a picture of the Iranian capital city Susa was presented on the Eastern gate of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. Mishna (Berakoth 9) called for being especially careful towards it: "never show disrespect to the Eastern gate!" According to Rambam, this was done so that they would have the fear of the king of Persia upon them. This tradition is worth remembering and carefully preserving.

Hummer für den Iran
Israel Shamir (Jörn Jermas)
"Der Iran ist die größte Gefahr seit den Nazis", sagte Israels Außenminister Shaul Mofaz laut The Guardian1. "Die Welt darf nicht warten! Seit Hitler standen wir Juden keiner gleichartigen Bedrohung gegenüber", wie sie Mahmoud Ahmadinedschad darstellt, der "die internationale Empörung weiter anheizte, als er israelische Juden aufforderte, nach Europa umzusiedeln."

Man kann es ihnen nicht recht machen! In den 30er Jahren verlangte Hitler, daß sich die Juden außerhalb Europas ansiedeln, und diese erklärten ihm den Krieg. Jetzt fordert Ahmadinedschad, daß sich die Juden wieder in Europa ansiedeln, und wieder reagieren die Juden mit Kriegsgeschrei. Oder aber der Guardian hat die Sache in seiner Reportage verwechselt, und die Empörung kam tatsächlich von den Europäern, die lieber die Palästinenser als unwillige Gastgeber für diese schwierigen Gäste haben wollen.

Wie dem auch sei, ich bin anderer Meinung: Präsident Ahmadinedschad verkörpert die größte Bedrohung seit Gerard de Nerval, ein extravaganter französischer Dichter, der einen Hummer gleich einem Hündchen an einer blauen Kordel im königlichen Garten spazieren führte, um das wohlhabende Bürgertum zu verblüffen. Eine wahrlich poetische Seele, ein unbezähmbares Kind, wenn es je ein solches gab. Ahmadinedschad zielt darauf, uns aus unserem überlangen Mittagsschlaf zu wecken. Was soll der Iraner denn anstellen, wenn das Wort "Jude" das einzig magische Wort ist, das uns aus diesem Schlummer aufrührt? Sexuelle Anzüglichkeiten könnten noch nicht mal ein Kind, jüngst aus einem AIDS-Seminar entlassen, aufwühlen. Ein Angriff auf das Christentum würde wärmstens von den nicht zu verleugnenden Gebietern europäischer Geisteshaltung, den Herren Sauer- und Finkelkraut, begrüßt werden. In dieser post-modernistischen Ära, in der sich Vagina-Monologe in das Repertoire von Matineen Eintritt verschafften, ist es immerhin nicht einfach, das zunehmend blasierte Bürgertum zu verblüffen.

Wenn Ahmadinedschad die Umsiedlung von sechs Millionen europäischen Muslimen außerhalb Europas vorschlüge, würde niemand auch nur mit der Wimper zucken, ausgenommen vielleicht Oriana Fallici und Monsieur Le Pen, die möglicherweise etwas gegen dieses Plagiat einzuwenden hätten. Forderte er die Ausradierung Frankreichs von der Landkarte, würden sich die Franzosen nicht aus ihren Sitzen erheben, glauben sie doch, daß dafür schon eine Direktive aus Brüssel vorliegt! Ich bewundere Ahmadinedschad: nicht als Politiker: Dafür sollen ihn die Iraner beurteilen. Nicht als Theologe: Das überlasse ich den Muslimen. Jedoch als einen wahren Dichter, der unsere Heuchelei entlarvt und unsere letzte heilige Kuh schlachtet. Die einzig mögliche Erklärung seiner Worte und Taten ist: Iraner haben tatsächlich keinen nennenswerten Grund, sich um den jüdischen Holocaust zu kümmern. Niemand klagt sie an deswegen, noch nicht einmal Herr Yehuda Bauer von der Jerusalemer Holocaust-Gedenkstätte, der dazu neigt, die Welt und ihre Nichte dafür anzuklagen, daß sie die Juden nicht gerettet haben. Die Perser von Cyrus bis Hosroes und Schah Mohammad Reza Pahlevi waren stets gut zu den Juden, und noch immer, auch noch jetzt in diesen verrückten Tagen, gibt es im Iran eine große und blühende jüdische Gemeinde. Ahmadinedschad sprach über den Holocaust, so wie Hillary einst den Everest eroberte: als eine Herausforderung!

Die arglosen Revisionisten waren richtig aufgeregt, als er mit der Idee spielte, "endlich die Wahrheit aufzudecken". Sie bereiteten ihre gut durchblätterten Bücher und Diagramme über Gasverbrauch und Körperwärme vor. Doch Ahmadinedschad interessiert sich für die nackten Fakten des Zweiten Weltkrieges ungefähr so sehr wie Nerval dafür, seinen Hummer Gassi zu führen. Die Holocaust-Doktrin anzuerkennen, ist für die Achse Tel Aviv / New York ein Zeichen der Unterwerfung, ein Zeichen des neuen Kolonialismus'. Ahmadinedschad weist das zurück, wie auch St. Paul die Noachidischen Gesetze zurückgewiesen hatte: Nicht weil St. Paul an den heidnischen Opfern teilnehmen wollte, vielmehr, weil er es ablehnte, seine Befehle von den Juden entgegenzunehmen.

Die europäischen Führer - die fügsamen Unterstützer von offenkundigen Kriegsverbrechern, von George W. Bush, diesem Mörder unzähliger Afghanen, Iraker und anderer Araber, und von Soul Mofaz, dem Mörder eines acht Jahre alten Mädchens2 (sowie Hunderten anderer), die er letzte Woche im belagerten Gaza tötete - saßen alle stramm und drückten brav ihre Empörung aus. Sie erhoben keine Einsprüche, als Israel im Gazastreifen Wehrlose im Tiefflug angriff. Als israelische Politiker damit drohten, den Iran in eine "radioaktive Wüste" zu verwandeln, haben die Europäer das nicht als einen "Aufruf zum Völkermord" bezeichnet.

Mit seiner Herausforderung bewahrte Präsident Ahmadinedschad die Ehre der Menschheit, wie es nur ein Dichter vermag.

Ich bewundere den Iran für seine Rosengärten, die leuchten wie Karmesin, für seine azurnen alten Moscheen, für die hinreißende Schönheit seiner Frauen, deren schwarze Wimpern die Weiße ihrer Haut hervorheben, die durch den schwarzen Tschador schimmert. Ich bewundere den Iran für seine phantastischen Malereien, die der Verwüstung der Bilderstürmerei entgangen sind. Ich bewundere den Iran für die geistige Subtilität seiner Dichter, die ihre Liebe zu Frauen und ihre Anbetung Gottes in einen untrennbaren Gesang vereinten, gleich dem Hohelied des Salomon. Ihre Rumi und Jami, Sa'di und Ferdousi, Hafiz und Khayyam waren die verwegensten und lautersten, die jemals unsere Erde zierten. Ahmadinedschad ist Erbe dieser Tradition, ein verwegener Spötter unserer Heuchelei; ein Junge, der des Kaisers neue Kleider durchschaut. Wenn auch der schinkenfaustige Yank diesen Wagehals plattwalzen und die Rosengärten von Schiraz verbrennen sollte, wie er einst die Blüten von Nagasaki einäscherte, dürfen wir stolz sein auf Ahmadinedschad, unseren Zeitgenossen, der es wagte, auf den Schwanz des Tigers zu treten.

Die europäische und amerikanische Reaktion auf das Atomprogramm des Iran glich der von Onkel Toms Sklavenhalter Simon Legree, als dieser von dem entkommen Sklaven erfuhr: "Was untersteht sich dieser Dunkelhäutige, des weißen Herrn Spielzeug zu berühren?" Ihr hohles Geschwätz der "iranischen Bedrohung" ist für die Unwissenden vorgesehen: Der Iran hat seit den Kriegen um Anatolien im 5. Jahrhundert nach Christus nie und nimmer eine europäische Nation angegriffen; im Gegensatz dazu haben europäische Imperialisten wiederholt den Iran besetzt und kontrolliert, das letztemal im Jahre 1942. Oder 1953, als sie den demokratisch gewählten Mosaddeq absetzen ließen, um diese uralte Nation weiter beherrschen zu können.

Richtig, der alte Kolonialismus ist tot. Weder kann England den Irak beherrschen noch Frankreich Algerien, doch der neue, kollektive Kolonialismus der Imperialisten, der im Kern von den hochindustrialisierten westlichen Nationen über den Rest der Welt ausgeht, ist kaum besser. Die alten Gebieter haben sich entschlossen, aus ihren Ressourcen und ihrer Macht ein Kartell zu bilden, um gemeinsam über ihre ehemaligen Sklaven zu herrschen. Sie trennten sich vom athenischen Modell, wo ein Bürger einen Sklaven hielt, zugunsten des spartanischen, wo Sklaven allen Spartanern gehören. In diesem neuen, kollektiv-imperialistischen Universum sind die Vereinigten Staaten der Arm, der Vollstrecker dieses neuen Kolonialismus', während die Meinung, die Ideologie, von einem riesigen Konsortium geliefert wird, das die Mehrheit der linken und rechten Druck- und Fernsehmedien - trotz aller vorgetäuschter Rivalität und Konkurrenz - von Madrid bis Moskau und von Texas bis Timbuktu vereinigt und koordiniert.

Dieses Konsortium ist die reale Machtbasis, welche von den beiden amerikanischen Professoren John Mearsheimer (Chicago) und Stephen Walt (Harvard) höflich als die "israelische Lobby in den US" genannt wurde, obwohl dieses Kartell neben dem Staat Israel auch noch andere Fische brät. Und obgleich Mearsheimer und Walt voll zuzustimmen ist - die Professoren haben das Problem eher minimalisiert als übertrieben, denn es ist mehr ein globales als ein lokales (die USA betreffendes) Phänomen. Das furchterregende AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) ist lediglich die Spitze des Eisbergs, worunter Meile an Meile soliden Eises liegen: Medienbarone, Chefredakteure, deren Experten - die Meister des Diskurses. Wie mit einen Zauberstab wurde dies durch die iranische Krise dem nackten Auge überdeutlich: Alle schrieen mit einer Stimme - wie die Legionen von Dämonen in der Synagoge zu Capernaum auf die Worte von Jesus Christus.

In seiner denkwürdigen Rede sagte Ahmadinedschad: "Das gewaltige zionistische Netzwerk ist seit Jahrzehnten im Dienst der Imperialisten." Ob die Zionisten im Dienst der Imperialisten stehen, oder die Imperialisten im Dienst der Zionisten, darüber kann man streiten. Es ist ein Beispiel gemanagter Revolution: Einige behaupten, die Juden waren die Manager der Imperialisten, bis sie selbst die Leitung der Show übernahmen. "Oh nein", sagen die anderen, "sie sind immer noch die Diener ihrer imperialistischen Oberherren." Egal, welche Position wir vertreten, die Zionisten und die Imperialisten sind selbstverständlich miteinander verwoben und integriert, und wenn man die Idee einer iranischen Bedrohung für Israel akzeptiert, billigt man dieses dämonische Netzwerk.

Die Nationen, die sich den Meistern des Diskurses widersetzen, werden per Zwang gebändigt. Die Atomwaffe dient als großer Gleichmacher, wie dazumal das Gewehr von Smith & Wesson im Wilden Westen. Damit nicht zu viel der Gleichmachung passiert, verhüteten amerikanische Pioniere, daß Gewehre in die Hände der Einheimischen fielen. Mit der gleichen Taktik verfährt nun der Westen in seinem Versuch, dem Iran die Atomenergie zu verweigern.

Vor einigen Tagen wurde ich vom russischen Fernsehen Kanal Eins zu einer direkt übertragenen Diskussion eingeladen, wobei der Chef des Moskauer BBC-Büros die rhetorische Frage stellte, warum ein friedvoller Iran ballistische Waffen brauche und dazu eine Aufstellung des iranischen Raketenarsenals gab. Die Frage, warum ein friedvolles Britannien ferngesteuerte und Atomwaffen brauche, konnte er nicht beantworten! Fürwahr, warum braucht diese überhaupt jemand?! Aber wenn England mit seiner langen, blutigen Geschichte, die Dritte Welt zu unterwerfen - angefangen mit Irland bis Japan - dieses Spielzeug haben darf, dann ist es gleichermaßen Pflicht einer jeden größeren Nation, ihre Bevölkerung vor den Launen westlicher Gebieter beschützen zu wollen.

Jawohl, der Iran arbeitet noch immer an einem friedlichen Atomprogramm. Falls und wenn sich das Land jedoch entscheidet, die Bombe zu bauen, sollte diese Entscheidung unterstützt werden, da sie den Frieden fördern würde. Es ist eine Tatsache, daß kaum jemand mehr für die Sache des Weltfriedens getan hat als Julius und Ethel Rosenberg und ihre Mitstreiter Harry Gold und Klaus Fuchs. Diese wunderbaren Männer übergaben die Geheimnisse der von den Amerikanern gebauten nuklearen Waffen an Rußland und retteten dadurch Moskau und St. Petersburg vor dem Schicksal Hiroschimas. Ohne ihre heroische Tat wäre Rußland von den Kolonialherren in eine radioaktive Wüste verwandelt worden. Joseph Stalin gab dieses Wissen an das aufstrebende China weiter, und das war eine sehr gute Tat - die Amerikaner hätten sonst nicht gezögert, Vietnam mit Kernwaffen anzugreifen, wie sie es mit Japan getan hatten.

Das einzige, was Gorbatschow und Jelzin im Zuge ihrer Abwicklung der Sowjetunion nicht zerstört haben, ist Rußlands Atomschutzschild, weil sie vermutlich nicht erwarteten, daß jemals wieder patriotische Kräfte in Moskau an die Macht kommen könnten. Dieses Schutzschild gewährt den Russen, die Nörgelei einer Frau Merkel außer acht zu lassen, und gibt ihnen die freie Wahl: ihr Öl und Gas an Europa zu verkaufen oder den Strom nach China zu leiten. Und es gewährt den Weißrussen, den Präsidenten ihrer Wahl zu haben, den sie mit großer Stimmenmehrheit wählten. Ohne jenes Schutzschild würde Lukaschenko wegen seiner unbeugsamen Weigerung, Vermögenswerte von Weißrußland an George Soros zu verkaufen, das Schicksal Noriegas und Milosevics ereilen.

Also gewährt auch den Iranern diese freie Wahl und stellt wieder Gleichgewicht in der Region her.

Und zu den aufrichtigen Gönnern unseres israelischen Wohls sage ich: Der Iran ist keine Gefahr. Die Wahrheit ist, die Juden könnten außerordentlich gut in Palästina leben. Hätten wir 1948 mit der einheimischen Bevölkerung Frieden geschlossen, hätten wir unser gemeinsames Haus Palästina als die Nabe des Nahen Ostens behalten: wo Öl aus dem Irak in die Raffinerien nach Haifa fließt. Wo Züge aus Bagdad auf der Fahrt nach Kairo an Lydda und Jaffa vorbeiflitzen. Wo mohammedanische Pilger auf dem Wege nach Mekka an Al-Quds vorbeikommen. Wo Christen von Bethlehem nach Nazareth auf den Spuren Christi wallfahren, und wo Juden ihre aliya machen (dieses Wort bedeutete, wie die Hadsch, eine jährliche Wallfahrt nach Jerusalem und nicht, wie die Zionisten meinten, die permanente Immigration nach Palästina). Laut dem Versprechen der Propheten würden wir über unsere tollsten Träume hinaus gedeihen, könnten wir nur diese böse, alte Gewohnheit der Auserwähltheit und Vorherrschaft ablegen.

Sogar jetzt ist es nicht zu spät, nach 60 Jahren und vielen Toten. Aus diesem Grund sollten wir Ahmadinedschads Rat annehmen: Laßt uns den exklusiv jüdischen Staat von der Landkarte dieser Region entfernen, und ersetzen wir ihn mit einem Staat für alle Bürger des Landes, Juden oder nicht. "Das Recht zu regieren gehört allen Menschen Palästinas, seien sie Muslime, Christen oder Juden", sagte Ahmadinedschad, und bei Gott!, nur ein jüdischer Suprematist würde gegen seine Worte Einspruch erheben.

Als ich diese Aussage während der Moskauer Fernsehsendung machte, wurde ich vom Vorsitzenden des Russisch-Jüdischen Kongresses und Direktor eines zionistischen Nahost-Instituts angegriffen, einem schmierigen und fleckigen, brutalen Kerl mit überhängendem Wanst, eine lebendige Karikatur aus dem Stürmer mit dem dazu passenden Namen Satansovsky. "Paß bloß auf", sagte mir Satansovsky nach der Show, "scheinbar bist du noch nie ordentlich verdroschen worden. Hier in Moskau haben wir keine demokratischen Bedenken; meine jüdischen Kumpels werden dir die Eier schleifen, wie sie es schon mit einigen Typen wie dir getan haben. Israel soll auf ewig ein jüdischer Staat bleiben!"

Solche jüdischen Mafiosi sind die wahren Führer der jüdischen Lobby und die hauptsächlichen Verfechter des jüdischen Staates im Ausland. Diese Spezies leiten die jüdischen Organisationen in Rußland, in Amerika und anderswo. Sie brauchen einen jüdischen Staat, um in der Stunde des Zorns aus ihren Ländern flüchten zu können, aber wir, die normalen Bürger Israels, brauchen dies nicht.

Indessen, die Mafia kann nicht ewig herrschen. Ich beherzige die Worte Ahmadinedschads: "Der junge Baum des Widerstands grünt und blüht im Glauben und Verlangen nach Freiheit. Das zionistische Regime ist ein verfaulender und zerbröckelnder Baum, der mit einem Sturm fallen wird. [Erinnert Ihr Euch an das Gleichnis des dürren Baumes? - I.S.] Palästina ist der Treffpunkt von Recht und Unrecht. Das Schicksal der Region wird im Land Al-Quds entschieden, und es wird eine große Ehre sein, am Sieg Palästinas teilhaben zu dürfen."

Der Sieg Palästinas ist unser Sieg, und wir werden glücklich sein, daran teilhaben zu dürfen.

"Sag, wird es Krieg geben?", wird man oft gefragt. Ich besitze nicht das Vertrauen von George Bush, er teilt mir seine Pläne nicht mit. Während jedoch die Torhüter der Linken sagen, Öl sei der Grund für Krieg, bin ich der Meinung, Öl kann der Grund für Frieden sein. Nun, da der Preis für Öl die 70-Dollar-Schwelle überschritten hat, muß Präsident Bush entscheiden, ob er die Erhöhung von über 120 Dollar überstehen wird - ob seine Wähler freudestrahlend den Rat eines Experten vom American Jewish Congress, Eran Lerman (ehemaliger israelischer Agent), akzeptieren und dann ihre Wagen nur alle zwei Tage fahren. Bush hat die Macht, die USA von ihrem gefährlichen Kurs wegzusteuern, und kann dem jüdischen Kongreß sagen, sich davonzumachen.

Und an meine israelischen Landsleute: Erinnert euch an unsere seit langen Zeiten währende Freundschaft mit dem Iran. Vor zweitausend Jahren wurde ein Bild der iranischen Hauptstadt Susa am östlichen Portal des jüdischen Tempels in Jerusalem dargestellt. Die Mischna (Berakoth 9) gebot ihm gegenüber ganz besondere Vorsicht: "Zeige niemals Respektlosigkeit angesichts des Ostportals!" Laut Rambam wurde diese Ermahnung erteilt, um Furcht vor dem persischen König einzuflößen. Diese Tradition sollte in Erinnerung behalten und erhalten bleiben.

BEIRUT: Lebanese journalist Mustafa Nasser has denied claims that he met with the German criminologist and journalist who published a book in which he accused Israeli intelligence of having assassinated former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. In an interview with Agence France Presse published on Saturday, Nasser said: "I have never met with any German journalist and I have never accused any party of the assassination. I believe that throwing random accusations is interfering with the investigations." In "Hariri's Assassination," German criminologist Jürgen Cain Külbel said that "Israeli Mossad killed Hariri to instigate political tension in Lebanon." Külbel also accused the former chief of the United Nations committee charged with investigating Hariri's death, German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis, of having misled the investigation. In a recent telephone interview with The Daily Star, Mehlis said he had not read the book because it would be a "waste ... to spend any money on it" - but added that "based on what I have heard so far about it, I would say that they are all just pretty dumb accusations." The Cabinet is scheduled to hold an extraordinary session on Tuesday to discuss a request from the Justice Ministry to ask the UN to extend the investigating committee's mandate, as well as other issues. - The Daily Star
