CFR's Hart Suggests False Flag Event For Iran War

CFR's Hart Suggests False Flag Event For Iran War
Tacit warning to Iranian government suggests staged event may be used
to ensure "bombs fall on your head"

Council on Foreign Relations member Gary Hart, famed for stating that
Americans will die en- mass on home soil this century, and for
declaring 48 hours after 9/11 that it should be used "to carry out a
new world order", has written a scathing letter to the leaders of Iran
clearly warning that the U.S. government has a history of staging
provocations in order to initiate conflict with other nations and that
Iran could be next.

Hart references the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor in 1898,
which led to the Spanish American war, as well as the Gulf of Tonkin
incident, which was ultimately the catalyst for airstrikes on Vietnam.

Why does Hart reference these two cases? Because they are both
examples of staged managed events that were used to coerce the
American public into supporting war.

The sinking of the Maine was immediately blamed on the Spanish, with
the innovator of yellow journalism William Randolph-Hearst enflaming
anti-Spanish sentiment in his papers by definitively claiming that it
was a Spanish plot. No reliable evidence was ever produced linking
Spain to the event and it is now widely believed that the event was at
best a mechanical failure or at worst a false flag operation.

Similarly the Gulf of Tonkin incident saw President Johnson accuse
North Vietnamese PT boats of attacking strike carries in the gulf, the
USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy. Documents and tapes released via
the Freedom of Information Act have since shown that Johnson knew that
there were no PT boats and no attacks, but still went ahead with lying
to the American public on national TV to garner support for escalating
the war in Vietnam. Johnson also had the NSA fake intelligence data to
make it appear as if the two US ships had been lost.

Hart, one of the instigators of the Homeland Security apparatus that
has evolved since 9/11, then goes on to state that American people are
reluctant to go to war unless provoked and coldly remarks "For
historians of American wars the question is whether we provoke
provocations. "

He then mentions the Iraq war and refers to how the public were duped
into accepting the invasion via the spectre of 9/11. Hart writes "even
in this instance, we were led to believe that the mass murderer of
American civilians, Osama bin Laden, was lurking, literally or
figuratively, in the vicinity of Baghdad."

To those who do not read history Gary Hart's letter makes for a
confusing read, but to those who know anything about staged
provocations, the intent is clear. Hart is declaring that the elite
controlled US government has attacked countries based on false
pretenses in the past and will gladly do so again.

Hart's declarations carry the same sentiment as those of fellow
globalist Zbigniew Brzezinski earlier this year. The Former National
Security Advisor and founding member of the elite policy making group
the Trilateral Commission implicitly warned a Senate Foreign Relations
Committee that an attack on Iran could be launched following a staged
provocation in Iraq or a false flag terror attack within the U.S.

Brzezinski alluded to the potential for the Bush administration to
manufacture a false flag Gulf of Tonkin type incident in describing a
"plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran," which would
revolve around "some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the US
blamed on Iran, culminating in a `defensive' US military action
against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and
deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
and Pakistan."

Texas Congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul has also
recently warned that a "Gulf of Tonkin like event" may be used to
provoke air strikes on Iran as numerous factors collide to heighten
expectations that America may soon be embroiled in its third war in
six years.

Unsolicited Advice to the Government of Iran

Presuming that you are not actually ignorant enough to desire war with
the United States, you might be well advised to read the history of
the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana harbor in 1898 and the
history of the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964.

Having done so, you will surely recognize that Americans are reluctant
to go to war unless attacked. Until Pearl Harbor, we were even
reluctant to get involved in World War II. For historians of American
wars the question is whether we provoke provocations.

Given the unilateral U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, you are obviously
thinking the rules have changed. Provocation is no longer required to
take America to war. But even in this instance, we were led to believe
that the mass murderer of American civilians, Osama bin Laden, was
lurking, literally or figuratively, in the vicinity of Baghdad.

Given all this, you would probably be well advised to keep your
forces, including clandestine forces, as far away from the Iraqi
border as you can. You might even consider bringing in some neighbors
to verify that you are not shipping arms next door. Tone down the
rhetoric on Zionism. You've established your credentials with those in
your world who thrive on that.

If it makes you feel powerful to hurl accusations at the American
eagle, have at it. Sticks and stones, etc. But, for the next sixteen
months or so, you should not only not take provocative actions, you
should not seem to be doing so.

For the vast majority of Americans who seek no wider war, in the
Middle East or elsewhere, don't tempt fate. Don't give a certain vice
president we know the justification he is seeking to attack your
country. That is unless you happen to like having bombs fall on your head.

Very interesting... Hart

Very interesting... Hart seems to be "in the know."
Is there a reference to his letter? A verifiable reference?
