The neocons are good at destroying things, whether it being with the use of character assassination or with smart bombs. They are also very good at shaping public opinion, and their ideology requires them to master the art of telling the big lie, they tell it often enough, that many come to believe their fabrications; they detest the truth, because the truth is and always will be their adversary. This is where the neocons will in the end fail, they fail to comprehend that the truth binds the universe together, the truth can never be contained indefinitely, because everything that is, everything that feeds off of the source of life, must ascertain that the final absolute objective reality in life is that: God is Truth. You cannot contain, and you cannot stop God and the Truth. It always surfaces to be acknowledged.

The Iraq war is a complete fraud; therefore, it is doomed for failure. Its masterminds in neocon think tanks conjured up this murderous aggression many years before September 11th, which has proved to be a wonderful smokescreen. The intelligence gathered by the Bush administration was hyped up, fabricated, and spun, to shape American public opinion to believe that Iraq was a clear and present danger to the United States. The neocons control the government; you need no further evidence to understand this reality when you read the September 11th commission report, which conveniently laid most of the blame on the intelligence community specifically the CIA. The focus should have been on the DoD, and the ad-hoc committee, of the Office of Special Plans with direct links to the office of the Vice-President. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Under Secretary for Policy Doug Feith, and Vice-President Dick Cheney, should be the ones under investigation by the Justice Department for subversion of the state.

The two leading hawks in the DoD for armed aggression against Israel’s enemies are Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, who according to the FBI in this report, both Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith have had direct contacts with:

“A person who has been working at high levels in the Pentagon may be a spy for Israel, senior U.S. officials. Officials said the suspect passed classified documents to Israel through the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group.”

Could this be Iran-Contra II on top of the criminal investigation in the outing of a CIA operative in one Valerie Plame? Considering the incredible success that the neocons have had in pushing American foreign policy in the Middle East to mimic Jerusalem’s, there must be more to this story than a single mole in the DoD. In fact, this smells like a large spy network working within the government of the United States. This report in KnightRidder confirms my suspicions:

An FBI probe into the handling of highly classified material by Pentagon civilians is broader than previously reported, and goes well beyond allegations that a single mid-level analyst gave a top-secret Iran policy document to Israel, three sources familiar with the investigation said Saturday.

The probe, which has been going on for more than two years, also has focused on other civilians in the Secretary of Defense's office.

In addition, one said, FBI investigators in recent weeks have conducted interviews to determine whether Pentagon officials gave highly classified U.S. intelligence to a leading Iraqi exile group, the Iraqi National Congress, which may in turn have passed it on to Iran. INC leader Ahmed Chalabi has denied his group was involved in any wrongdoing.

The linkage, if any, between the two leak investigations, remains unclear.

But they both center on the office of Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, the Pentagon's No. 3 official.

The name of the analyst in question is Larry Franklin; he was an analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency who worked for the office of Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith. He reported directly to Feith's deputy, William Luti, and specializes in Iranian policy issues. He also was an attaché at the US embassy in Tel Aviv. It is no accident that the nation of Iran comes up more than once in this fast developing spy scandal. Ahmed Chalabi is a familiar name; he is the neocons favorite Iraqi quisling who happens to be accused of being a spy for Iran. Iraq, was the first target in the neocons quest to enlighten the Islamites, their next target is Iran. It is no coincident that we have been hearing much about the so called Iranian Nuclear danger and the possible need to preempt that potential threat to our oligarchs democracy.

The neocons and their handlers at AIPAC are working overtime to make sure that there is no diplomatic solution with Iran concerning Iran’s push to become a nuclear power. A military confrontation with Iran is what they are working for here, and there being no legitimate interest to protect for the United States is irrelevant for the neocons because that was never their concern to begin with.

Journalist Jim Lobe in his article – “How neo-cons influence the Pentagon” extensively explores the shenanigans within the DoD specifically the ad-hoc offices in The Office of Special Plans (OSP), and the Near East and South Asia (NESA):

“key personnel who worked in both NESA and OSP were part of a broader network of neo-conservative ideologues and activists who worked with other George W Bush political appointees scattered around the national security bureaucracy to move the country to war, according to retired Lieutenant-Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, who was assigned to NESA from May 2002 through February 2003.”

”The heads of NESA and OSP were Deputy Undersecretary William Luti and Abram Shulsky, respectively.”

“In some cases, NESA and OSP even prepared memos specifically for Cheney and Libby, something unheard of in previous administrations because the lines of authority in the vice president's office and the Pentagon are entirely separate. "Luti sometimes would say, 'I've got to do this for Scooter'," said Kwiatkowski. "It looked like Cheney's office was pulling the strings."

”Kwiatkowski said that she could not confirm published reports that OSP worked with a similar ad hoc group in Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office. But she recounts one incident in which she helped escort a group of half a dozen Israelis, including several generals, from the first floor reception area to Feith's office. "We just followed them, because they knew exactly where they were going and moving fast."

”When the group arrived, she noted the book which all visitors are required to sign under special regulations that took effect after the September 11, 2001. "I asked his secretary, 'Do you want these guys to sign in'? She said, 'No, these guys don't have to sign in'." It occurred to her, she said, that the office may have deliberately not wanted to maintain a record of the meeting.”

”She added that OSP and MESA personnel were already discussing the possibility of "going after Iran" after the war in Iraq last January and that articles by Michael Ledeen, another AEI fellow and Perle associate who has been calling for the US to work for "regime change" in Tehran since late 2001, were given much attention in the two offices.”

The neocons have established a vast network to manipulate American foreign policy, nothing seems to be getting in their way other than the truth, the law and treasonous acts appears to be for the moment inconsequential. From the Israeli espionage network prior to the attacks on September 11th, too sex spies and the network within the DoD, Israel and their cohorts within the United States are presently functioning with impunity, and relegating America as the quintessential banana republic.

Where this scandal will lead is an open question, will it lead to real criminal indictments or to a political “slight of hand” where all allegations will be swept under the rug, only time will tell. One thing we know for sure is that the oligarchy within the United States is a criminal class, who continually get away with crimes against the people. The “rule of law” does not really apply to them, if it did, many in the Bush administration would already be in prison.

With the recent revelations in neocon conduct, it brings to light the wisdom of Edward Abbey who succinctly defined: “Our neoconservatives are neither new nor conservative, but old as Bablyon and evil as Hell.”
