Into the Dark: The Pentagon Plan to Foment Terrorism
From the Moscow Times, Nov. 1, 2002. This piece was chosen as number
4 in Project Censored's "Top Censored Stories of 2002."
"This age: layers of lime harden in the sick son's blood…
There's nowhere to run from the tyrant-epoch…
Who else will you kill? Who else glorify?
What other lies will you invent?"
— Osip Mandelshtam, "1 January 1924"
This column stands foursquare with the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld,
U.S. Secretary of Defense, when he warns that there will be more
terrorist attacks against the American people and civilization at
large. We know, as does the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S.
Secretary of Defense, that this statement is an incontrovertible
fact, a matter of scientific certainty. And how can we and the
Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, be so sure
that there will be more terrorist attacks against the American people
and civilization at large?
Because these attacks will be instigated at the order of the
Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense.
This astonishing admission was buried deep in a story which was
itself submerged by mounds of gray newsprint and glossy underwear ads
in last Sunday's Los Angeles Times. There – in an article by military
analyst William Arkin, detailing the vast expansion of the secret
armies being massed by the former Nixon bureaucrat now lording it
over the Pentagon – came the revelation of Rumsfeld's plan to create
"a super-Intelligence Support Activity" that will "bring together CIA
and military covert action, information warfare, intelligence, and
cover and deception." According to a classified document prepared for
Rumsfeld by his Defense Science Board, the new organization – the
"Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG)" – will carry out
secret missions designed to "stimulate reactions" among terrorist
groups, provoking them into committing violent acts which would then
expose them to "counterattack" by U.S. forces.
In other words – and let's say this plainly, clearly and soberly, so
that no one can mistake the intention of Rumsfeld's plan – the United
States government is planning to use "cover and deception" and secret
military operations to provoke murderous terrorist attacks on
innocent people. Let's say it again: Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney,
George W. Bush and the other members of the unelected regime in
Washington plan to deliberately foment the murder of innocent people
– your family, your friends, your lovers, you – in order to further
their geopolitical ambitions.
For P2OG is not designed solely to flush out terrorists and bring
them to justice – a laudable goal in itself, although the Rumsfeld
way of combating terrorism by causing it is pure moral lunacy. (Or
should we use the Regime's own preferred terminology and just call it
"evil"?) No, it seems the Pee-Twos have bigger fish to fry. Once they
have sparked terrorists into action – by killing their family
members? luring them with loot? fueling them with drugs? plying them
with jihad propaganda? messing with their mamas? or with agents
provocateurs, perhaps, who infiltrate groups then plan and direct the
attacks themselves? – they can then take measures against the "states/
sub-state actors accountable" for "harboring" the Rumsfeld-roused
gangs. What kind of measures exactly? Well, the classified Pentagon
program puts it this way: "Their sovereignty will be at risk."
The Pee-Twos will thus come in handy whenever the Regime hankers to
add a little oil-laden real estate or a new military base to the
Empire's burgeoning portfolio. Just find a nest of violent
malcontents, stir 'em with a stick, and presto: instant
"justification" for whatever level of intervention/conquest/rapine
you might desire. And what if the territory you fancy doesn't
actually harbor any convenient marauders to use for fun and profit?
Well, surely a God-like "super-Intelligence Support Activity" is
capable of creation ex nihilo, yes?
The Rumsfeld-Bush plan to employ murder and terrorism for political,
financial and ideological gain does have historical roots (besides al
Qaeda, the Stern Gang, the SA, the SS, the KGB, the IRA, the UDF,
Eta, Hamas, Shining Path and countless other upholders of Bushian
morality, decency and freedom). We refer of course to Operation
Northwoods, oft mentioned in these pages: the plan that America's top
military brass presented to President John Kennedy in 1963, calling
for a phony terrorist campaign – complete with bombings, hijackings,
plane crashes and dead Americans – to provide "justification" for an
invasion of Cuba, the Mafia/Corporate fiefdom which had recently been
lost to Castro.
Kennedy rejected the plan, and was killed a few months later. Now
Rumsfeld has resurrected Northwoods, but on a far grander scale, with
resources at his disposal undreamed of by those brass of yore, with
no counterbalancing global rival to restrain him – and with an
ignorant, corrupt president who has shown himself all too eager to
embrace any means whatsoever that will augment the wealth and power
of his own narrow, undemocratic, elitist clique.
There is genuine transgression here, a stepping-over – deliberately,
with open eyes, with forethought, planning, and conscious will – of
lines that should never be crossed. Acting in deadly symbiosis with
their supposed enemies, the terrorist mafias, Bush and his cohorts
are plunging the world into an abyss, an endless night of black ops,
retribution, blowback, deceit, of murder and terror – wholesale,
retail, state-sponsored, privatized; of fear and degradation,
servility, chaos: the perversion of all that's best in us, of all
that we've won from the bestiality of our primal nature, all that
we've raised above the mindless ravening urges and impulses still
boiling in the mud of our monkey brains.
It's not a fight for freedom; it's a retreat into darkness.
And the day will be a long time coming.
