When the Terrorists Were 'Our Guys'

By Robert Parry (A Special Report) - February 22, 2008

In 1976, when George H.W. Bush was CIA director, the U.S. government tolerated right-wing terrorist cells inside the United States and mostly looked the other way when these killers topped even Palestinian terrorists in spilling blood, including a lethal car bombing in Washington, D.C., according to newly obtained internal government documents...

...“Cuban exile groups operating under the aegis of a new alliance called the Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations [CORU] were particularly active during the second half of the year,” the CIA reported. “They were responsible for no less than 17 acts of international terrorism (at least three of which took place in the US).

“Statistically, this matches the record compiled by the various Palestinian terrorist groups during the same period. But largely because the Cuban exile operations included the October bombing of a Cubana Airlines passenger aircraft, their consequences were far more bloody.”

In other words, Cuban exiles based in the United States – during George H.W. Bush’s year in charge of the CIA – outpaced Palestinian terrorists in terms of a total body count.

After the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, the U.S. government presented itself as the innocent victim of international terrorism with a moral right not only to pursue the “bad guys” across the globe but to subject some captives to torture, to lock others up indefinitely without trial, and to launch attacks that have killed many thousands of innocents.

In the years that have followed, there were few recollections of the days under the current president’s father when the bloodiest terrorists were “our guys.”

another mainstream media blood libel

"topped even Palestinian terrorists in spilling blood..." I am SICK of these mainstream media blood libels! (Of which the official 9/11 myth is the biggest...)

War-criminal Israeli IDF terrorists have always been WAY ahead of those Palestinians who are resisting with force in accordance with international law. The vast majority of Palestinians who resist nonviolently are of course never covered by our Goebbels-imitating mainstream media.

The Israeli IDF sniper-murders children as a matter of policy. Check out this from British Medical Journal:

Palestine: the assault on health and other war crimes

Does the death of an Arab weigh the same as that of a US or Israeli citizen? The Israeli army, with utter impunity, has killed more unarmed Palestinian civilians since September 2000 than the number of people who died on September 11, 2001. In conducting 238 extrajudicial executions the army has also killed 186 bystanders (including 26 women and 39 children). Two thirds of the 621 children (two thirds under 15 years) killed at checkpoints, in the street, on the way to school, in their homes, died from small arms fire, directed in over half of cases to the head, neck and chest—the sniper's wound. Clearly, soldiers are routinely authorised to shoot to kill children in situations of minimal or no threat

And this, originally published in Harpers Magazine:

http://www.doublestandards.org/hedges1.html

It is still. The camp waits, as if holding its breath. And then, out of the dry furnace air, a disembodied voice crackles over a loudspeaker.

'Come on, dogs,' the voice booms in Arabic. 'Where are all the dogs of Khan Younis? Come! Come!'

I stand up. I walk outside the hut. The invective continues to spew: 'Son of a bitch!' 'Son of a Whore!…'

The boys dart in small packs up the sloping dunes to the electric fence that separates the camp from the Jewish settlement. They lob rocks toward two armored jeeps parked on top of the dune and mounted with loudspeakers. Three ambulances line the road below the dunes in anticipation of what is to come.

A percussion grenade explodes. The boys, most no more than ten or eleven years old, scatter, running clumsily across the heavy sand. They descend out of sight behind a sandbank in front of me. There are no sounds of gunfire. The soldiers shoot with silencers. The bullets from the M-16 rifles tumble end over end through the children's slight bodies. Later, in the hospital, I will see the destruction: the stomachs ripped out, the gaping holes in limbs and torsos.

Yesterday at this spot the Israelis shot eight young men, six of whom were under the age of eighteen. One was twelve. This afternoon they kill an eleven-year-old boy, Ali Murad, and seriously wound four more, three of whom are under eighteen. Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered – death squads gunned them down in El Salvador and Guatemala, mothers with infants were lined up and massacred in Algeria, and Serb snipers put children in their sights and watched them crumple onto the pavement in Sarajevo – but I have never before watched soldiers entice children like mice into a trap and murder them for sport.

Israel was invented in 1947 to be a source of continuous revenue

via endless war for the military/industrial/banking complex right after their cash cow of WWII ended.

And yes, the Palestinians certainly bear the brunt of it. It is

sickening.

This is classic State Terrorism.

The highest and most lethal form of Terrorism.

Practice by the Nazis of yesterday and today. Many nations / regimes have been guilty over the decades of vast number of civilian casualties. However now we have a few leading the pack with the use of cluster bombs, depleted uranium and other policies that are targetting civilians either overtly and covertly.

When the State does, apparently it is legitimate. Or so we are meant to believe.

Deliberate policies of subtle genocide / population control have been practiced by a number of war-faring states violating virtually every known human rights accords.

911 was a golden opportunity to escalate it to the next level.

One has deep deep questions on revelations such as this.

The Five Dancing Israelis Arrested On 9-11 : http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/fiveisraelis.html

A Mossad surveillance team made quite a public spectacle of themselves on 9-11.The New York Times reported Thursday that a group of five men had set up video cameras aimed at the Twin Towers prior to the attack on Tuesday, and were seen congratulating one another afterwards. (1)

Police received several calls from angry New Jersey residents claiming "middle-eastern" men with a white van were videotaping the disaster with shouts of joy and mockery. (2)

"They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me" said a witness. (3)[T]hey were seen by New Jersey residents on Sept. 11 making fun of the World Trade Center ruins and going to extreme lengths to photograph themselves in front of the wreckage. (4)

Witnesses saw them jumping for joy in Liberty State Park after the initial impact (5). Later on, other witnesses saw them celebrating on a roof in Weehawken, and still more witnesses later saw them celebrating with high fives in a Jersey City parking lot. (6)

Cluster bombs found in an olive grove in Southern Lebanon. CREDIT: Simon Conway/ Landmine Action

Like many children, Zahra, 11, was attracted by the small size and curious shape of the cluster bomblet that injured her. The UN estimates that up to one million cluster bomblets, including those with self-destruct mechanisms, remained unexploded on the ground in Southern Lebanon after conflict ended in 2006.

Its Kind of messed up

Its Kind of messed up, when you start studying the formation of Israel.
It was founded by Atheist, racist, white supremacist, from Eastern Europe. Who hide behind the Jewish religion.
Israel was founded by hard core fascist, communist, that were hell bent on getting Britain, the hell out Palestine.(through terrorism King David Hotel) and killing as many Palestinian as was necessary.
Ben Gurion 1st Prime minister of Israel referred to the Palestinian people as "two legged dogs"

There has to be more dialogue about Israel not only in this movement but in society today
the bloody history of fascism will give a basic understanding of what Fascism is and what it will always will be, death to anyone who oppose there Idealogy

The bloody history of fascism

Huh?

The bloodiest terrorists are still "our guys."

A good article from Consortium News.

Charlie Wilson's Warlords

By Ivan Eland
February 20, 2008

http://consortiumnews.com/2008/021908a.html

Editor’s Note: The dominant U.S. narrative on the end of the Cold War is that it was won by Ronald Reagan with his costly, hard-line foreign policy, including the covert war in Afghanistan. But many intelligence analysts consider that conventional wisdom a myth. [See, for instance, Robert Parry’s Secrecy & Privilege.]

In this guest essay, Independent Institute’s Ivan Eland examines this Cold War question in the context of the recent Hollywood movie, Charlie Wilson’s War:

Both the book and movie Charlie Wilson’s War glorify the “colorful,” liberal, Democratic congressman’s successful crusade to bludgeon the reluctant, neoconservative Reagan administration into dramatically escalating funding, arming, and training of radical Islamists fighting against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan...........

Breaking news.

On the Alex Jones show former Congressman Daniel Hamburg talks about 911 being an "assisted" attack effectively calling it an Inside Job. He discusses Project for a New American Century, detention camps etc.

Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, from California's 1st district,
In office 1993–1995

9/11

On February 22, 2008, during an interview on the Alex Jones Show, Daniel Hamburg said that he believes that the 9/11 terrorists had help from inside the US Government.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully someone (alexjonesfan?) will be able to get the mp3 audio out there.

This was a suprise revelation by the former Congressman. Alex was not expecting him to talk so openly about 911 and Government Complicity. He said effectively 19 men from some cave in Afghanistan DID NOT CARRY OUT 911 by themselves and had help from inside sources in the US Govt.

I did not record this so I do hope someone else will be able to get the mp3 audio out ASAP.

Cheers & Thanks.

"World Trade Center Building 5 Why no collapse" has been removed by YouTube.
If anyone has it they should maybe try and post it again or somewhere else.

"the 9/11 terrorists had help from inside the US Government."

Yes they did, five of them were caught red handed after "documenting" then celebrating their biggest false flag attack yet - 9/11. See constitutional911's comment above, also.

But I'm sure mr. hamburg's trying to sell the limited hang-out (LIHOP) version.
