Will Pentagon das Ausland belügen?

Das US-Verteidigungsministerium plant angeblich, Medien in anderen Staaten gezielt mit Falschinformationen zu füttern. Damit sollten negative Berichte über die USA unterbunden werden, hieß es. Die Vorschläge habe das „Büro für strategische Information“ erarbeitet. Die Vorschläge seien innerhalb der Regierung heftig umstritten, berichtete die „New York Times“ am Dienstag.

Dabei sollten ausländische Medien sowohl in befreundeten als auch in feindlich gesinnten Ländern mit echten und falschen Nachrichten versorgt werden. Die Quelle solle immer so verschleiert werden, dass nicht ersichtlich sei, dass das Material vom amerikanischen Militär komme, berichtete die Zeitung unter Berufung auf Pentagonbeamte.

Die konkreten Vorschläge seien von dem „Büro für strategische Information“ erarbeitet worden. Das Büro war nach den Terroranschlägen vom 11. September eingerichtet worden. Damit wollte die US-Regierung Tendenzen zu einem negativen USA-Bild in aller Welt entgegentreten. Verteidigungsminister Donald Rumsfeld lasse die Vorschläge gerade von einem Justiziar prüfen, schrieb die Zeitung.

Die Meinungen sind geteilt

Kritiker befürchteten, dass die Glaubwürdigkeit des Pentagon mit einer solchen Propagandaoffensive schwer geschädigt würde. Das neue Büro hole „alle möglichen Instrumente innerhalb des Verteidigungsministeriums hervor, um ausländisches Publikum zu beeinflussen“, erklärte der frühere Armeeoberst Thomas Timmes nach Angaben der Zeitung.

Andere Vorschläge seien, einflussreichen Politikern und Journalisten E-Mails mit dem Standpunkt der US-Regierung zu schicken. Auch dabei solle der Absender zumindest nicht auf den ersten Blick erkenntlich sein. Vorschläge gebe es auch zu verdeckten Einsätzen im Ausland, um Falschinformationen zu produzieren. Das ist dem Pentagon und dem Geheimdienst CIA eigentlich verboten.

Die Gesetze wurden in den 70er-Jahren entsprechend geändert, als sich herausstellte, dass solche gezielten Falschinformationen über Korrespondenten auch den Weg in amerikanische Zeitungen fanden. Das Pentagon produzierte in den 80er-Jahren Radioprogramme mit Propaganda gegen die sandinistische Regierung in Nicaragua, die in der Region ausgestrahlt wurden. Auf dem Balkan wurde mit Radioprogrammen in den 90er-Jahren für öffentliche Unterstützung der amerikanischen Friedenstruppe geworben.

Kritiker hätten aber zu bedenken gegeben, dass die Regierungen befreundeter Staaten gegen einige der Pentagon-Vorhaben protestieren könnten, berichtete die Zeitung. „Jeder versteht, dass Informationskampagnen gegen feindlich gesinnte Länder eingesetzt werden. Manche hier finden es aber problematisch, wenn dieselben Methoden in befreundeten Ländern angewendet werden sollen“, zitiert die Zeitung einen Pentagonbeamten.

Breaking our silence means not allowing the history of our lifetimes to be written this way, with lies and the blood of innocent people. To understand the lie of what Blair/Straw/Hoon call the "outstanding success" in Afghanistan, read the work of the original author of "Total War", a man called Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was President Carter's National Security Adviser and is still a powerful force in Washington.
Brzezinski not long ago revealed that on July 3, 1979, unknown to the American public and Congress, President Jimmy Carter secretly authorised $500million to create an international terrorist movement that would spread Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia and "destabilise" the Soviet Union.
The CIA called this Operation Cyclone and in the following years poured $4billion into setting up Islamic training schools in Pakistan (Taliban means "student").
Young zealots were sent to the CIA's spy training camp in Virginia, where future members of al-Qaeda were taught "sabotage skills" - terrorism.
Others were recruited at an Islamic school in Brooklyn, New York, within sight of the fated Twin Towers.
In Pakistan, they were directed by British MI6 officers and trained by the SAS.
The result, quipped Brzezinski, was "a few stirred up Muslims" - meaning the Taliban.
At that time, the late 1970s, the American goal was to overthrow Afghanistan's first progressive, secular government, which had granted equal rights to women, established health care and literacy programmes and set out to break feudalism.
When the Taliban seized power in 1996, they hanged the former president from a lamp-post in Kabul.

His body was still a public spectacle when Clinton administration officials and oil company executives were entertaining Taliban leaders in Washington and Houston, Texas.
The Wall Street Journal declared: "The Taliban are the players most capable of achieving peace. Moreover, they were crucial to secure the country as a prime trans-shipment route for the export of Central Asia's vast oil, gas and other natural resources."
NO AMERICAN newspaper dares suggest that the prisoners in Camp X-Ray are the product of this policy, nor that it was one of the factors that led to the attacks of September 11.
Nor do they ask: who were the real winners of September 11?
The day the Wall Street stockmarket opened after the destruction of the Twin Towers, the few companies showing increased value were the giant military contractors Alliant Tech Systems, Northrop Gruman, Raytheon (a contributor to New Labour) and Lockheed Martin.
As the US military's biggest supplier, Lockheed Martin's share value rose by a staggering 30 per cent.
Within six weeks of September 11, the company (with its main plant in Texas, George Bush's home state) had secured the biggest military order in history: a $200billion contract to develop a new fighter aircraft. The greatest taboo of all, which Orwell would surely recognise, is the record of the United States as a terrorist state and haven for terrorists.
This truth is virtually unknown by the American public and makes a mockery of Bush's (and Blair's) statements about "tracking down terrorists wherever they are".
They don't have to look far.
Florida, currently governed by the President's brother, Jeb Bush, has given refuge to terrorists who, like the September 11 gang, have hi-jacked aircraft and boats with guns and knives.
Most have never had criminal charges brought against them.
Why? All of them are anti-Castro Cubans. Former Guatemalan Defence Minister Gramajo Morales, who was accused of "devising and directing an indiscriminate campaign of terror against civilians", including the torture of an American nun and the massacre of eight people from one family, studied at Harvard University on a US government scholarship.
During the 1980s, thousands of people were murdered by death squads connected to the army of El Salvador, whose former chief now lives comfortably in Florida.
The former Haitian dictator, General Prosper Avril, liked to display the bloodied victims of his torture on television.
When he was overthrown, he was flown to Florida by the US government, and granted political asylum.
A leading member of the Chilean military during the reign of General Pinochet, whose special responsibility was executions and torture, lives in Miami.
THE Iranian general who ran Iran's notorious prisons, is a wealthy exile in the US.
One of Pol Pot's senior henchmen, who enticed Cambodian exiles back to their certain death, lives in Mount Vernon, New York.
What all these people have in common, apart from their history of terrorism, is that they either worked directly for the US government or carried out the dirty work of US policies.
The al-Qaeda training camps are kindergartens compared with the world's leading university of terrorism at Fort Benning in Georgia. Known until recently as the School of the Americas, its graduates include almost half the cabinet ministers of the genocidal regimes in Guatemala, two thirds of the El Salvadorean army officers who committed, according to the United Nations, the worst atrocities of that country's civil war, and the head of Pinochet's secret police, who ran Chile's concentration camps.
There is terrible irony at work here. The humane response of people all over the world to the terrorism of September 11 has long been hijacked by those running a rapacious great power with a history of terrorism second to none. Global supremacy, not the defeat of terrorism, is the goal; only the politically blind believe otherwise.
The "widening gap between the world's "haves" and "have nots"', says a remarkably candid document of the US Space Command, presents "new challenges" to the world's superpower and which can only be met by "Full Spectrum Dominance" - dominance of land, sea, air and space.
Why should we accept this, and the great dangers that accompany it? We cannot say we have not been warned.


Now consider Operation Northwoods: In 1962, US military leaders
designed a plan to conduct terrorist acts against Americans and blame Cuba, to create popular sentiment for invasion of that country.

Operation Northwoods included:
* Plans to shoot down a CIA plane designed to replicate a passenger flight and announce that Cuban forces shot it down.
* Creation of military casualties by blowing up a US ship in
Guantanamo Bay and blaming Cuba: "....casualty lists in the US
newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation," and
* Development of a terror campaign in the Miami and Washington, DC.
Information on Operation Northwoods can be found in James Bamford's "Body of Secrets," (Doubleday, 2001), and at the following URLs.

establishment are not opposed to killing American servicemen and
civilians, given the right goal.
