It's the oldest trick in the book, dating back to Roman
times; creating the enemies you need.
In 70 BC, an ambitious minor politician and extremely wealthy man, Marcus
Licineus Crassus, wanted to rule Rome. Just to give you an idea of what
sort of man Crassus really was, he is credited with invention of the fire
brigade. But in Crassus' version, his fire-fighting slaves would race
to the scene of a burning building whereupon Crassus would offer to buy
it on the spot for a tiny fraction of it's worth. If the owner sold, Crassus'
slaves would put out the fire. If the owner refused to sell, Crassus allowed
the building to burn to the ground. By means of this device, Crassus eventually
came to be the largest single private land holder in Rome, and used some
of his wealth to help back Julius Caesar against Cicero.
In 70 BC Rome was still a Republic, which placed very strict limits
on what Rulers could do, and more importantly NOT do. But Crassus had
no intentions of enduring such limits to his personal power, and contrived
a plan.
Crassus seized upon the slave revolt led by Spartacus in order to strike
terror into the hearts of Rome, whose garrison Spartacus had already defeated
in battle. But Spartacus had no intention of marching on Rome itself,
a move he knew to be suicidal. Spartacus and his band wanted nothing to
do with the Roman empire and had planned from the start merely to loot
enough money from their former owners in the Italian countryside to hire
a mercenary fleet in which to sail to freedom.
Sailing away was the last thing Crassus wanted Spartacus to do. He needed
a convenient enemy with which to terrorize Rome itself for his personal
political gain. So Crassus bribed the mercenary fleet to sail without
Spartacus, then positioned two Roman legions in such a way that Spartacus
had no choice but to march on Rome.
Terrified of the impending arrival of the much-feared army of gladiators,
Rome declared Crassus Praetor. Crassus then crushed Spartacus' army and
even though Pompeii took the credit, Crassus was elected Consul of Rome
the following year.
With this maneuver, the Romans surrendered their Republican form of
government. Soon would follow the first Triumvirate, consisting of Crassus,
Pompeii, and Julius Caesar, followed by the reign of the god-like Emperors
of Rome.
The Romans were hoaxed into surrendering their Republic, and accepting
the rule of Emperors.
Julius Caesar's political opponent, Cicero, for all his literary accomplishments,
played the same games in his campaign against Julius Caesar, claiming
that Rome was falling victim to an internal "vast right wing" conspiracy
in which any expressed desire for legislative limits on government was
treated as suspicious behavior. Cicero, in order to demonstrate to the
Romans just how unsafe Rome has become hired thugs to cause as much disturbance
as possible, and campaigned on a promise to end the internal strife if
elected and granted extraordinary powers.
What Cicero only dreamed of, Adolph Hitler succeeded in doing. Elected
Chancellor of Germany, Hitler, like Crassus, had no intention of living
with the strict limits to his power imposed by German law. Unlike Cicero,
Hitler's thugs were easy to recognize; they all wore the same brown shirts.
But their actions were no different than those of their Roman predecessors.
They staged beatings, set fires, caused as much trouble as they could,
while Hitler made speeches promising that he could end the crime wave
of subversives and terrorism if he was granted extraordinary powers.
Then the Reichstagg burned down; a staged terrorist attack.
The Germans were hoaxed into surrendering their Republic, and accepting
the total rule of Der Fuhrer.
The state-sponsored schools will never tell you this*, but governments
routinely rely on hoaxes to sell their agendas to an otherwise reluctant
public. The Romans accepted the Emperors and the Germans accepted Hitler
not because they wanted to, but because the carefully crafted illusions
of threat appeared to leave no other choice.
* Classicism, as also any form of study of ancient history, in which
there are more bad than good examples, we shall replace with the study
of the program of the future. We shall erase from the memory of men
all facts of previous centuries which are undesirable to us, and leave
only those which depict all the errors of the government of the goyim.

'The US-government too uses hoaxes to create the illusion that We The
People have no choice but the direction the government wishes us to go
in.
In 1898, Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's
New York Journal were arguing for American intervention in Cuba. Hearst
is reported to have dispatched a photographer to Cuba to photograph the
coming war with Spain. When the photographer asked just what war that
might be, Hearst is reported to have replied, "You take the photographs,
and I will provide the war". Hearst was true to his word, as his newspaper
published stories of great atrocities being committed against the Cuban
people, most of which turned out to be complete fabrications.
On the night of February 15, 1898, the USS Maine, lying in Havana harbor
in a show of US resolve to protect her interests, exploded violently.
Captain Sigsbee, the commander of the Maine, urged that no assumptions
of enemy attack be made until there was a full investigation of the cause
of the explosion. For this, Captain Sigsbee was excoriated in the press
for "refusing to see the obvious". The Atlantic Monthly declared flat
out that to suppose the explosion to be anything other than a deliberate
act by Spain was "completely at defiance of the laws of probability".
Under the slogan "Remember the Maine", Americans went to war with Spain,
eventually winning the Phillipines (and annexing
Hawaii along the way).
In 1975, an investigation led by Admiral Hyman Rickover examined the
data recovered from a 1911 examination of the wreck and concluded that
there had been no evidence of an external explosion. The most likely cause
of the sinking was a coal dust explosion in a coal bunker imprudently
located next to the ship's magazines. Captain Sigsbee's caution had been
well founded.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt needed a war.
He needed the fever of a major war to mask the symptoms of a still deathly
ill economy struggling back from the Great Depression (and mutating towards
Socialism at the same time). Roosevelt wanted a war
with Germany to stop Hitler, but despite several provocations in the Atlantic,
the American people, still struggling with that troublesome economy, were
opposed to any wars. Roosevelt violated neutrality with lend lease, and
even ordered the sinking of several German ships in the Atlantic, but
Hitler refused to be provoked.
Roosevelt needed an enemy, and if America would
not willingly attack that enemy, then one would have to be maneuvered
into attacking America, much as Marcus Licinius Crassus has maneuvered
Spartacus into attacking Rome.
The way open to war was created when Japan signed the tripartite agreement
with Italy and Germany, with all parties pledging mutual defense to each
other. Whereas Hitler would never declare war on the United States no
matter the provocation, the means to force Japan to do so were readily
at hand.
The first step was to place oil and steel embargoes on Japan, using
Japan's wars on the Asian mainland as a reason. This forced Japan to consider
seizing the oil and mineral rich regions in Indonesia. With the European
powers militarily exhausted by the war in Europe, the United States was
the only power in the Pacific able to stop Japan from invading the Dutch
East Indies, and by moving the Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, Roosevelt made a pre-emptive
strike on that fleet the mandatory first step in any Japanese plan to
extend it's empire into the "southern resource area".
Roosevelt boxed in Japan just as completely as
Crassus had boxed in Spartacus. Japan needed oil. They had to invade Indonesia
to get it, and to do that they first had to remove the threat of the American
fleet at Pearl Harbor. There never really was any other course open to
them.
To enrage the American people as much as possible, Roosevelt
needed the first overt attack by Japan to be as bloody as possible, appearing
as a sneak attack much as the Japanese had done to the Russians. From
that moment up until the attack on Pearl Harbor itself,
Roosevelt and his associates made sure that the commanders
in Hawaii, General Short and Admiral Kimmel, were kept in the dark as
much as possible about the location of the Japanese fleet and it's intentions,
then later scapegoated for the attack. (Congress recently exonerated both
Short and Kimmel, posthumously restoring them to their former ranks).
But as the Army board had concluded at the time, and subsequent de-classified
documents confirmed, Washington DC knew the attack was coming, knew exactly
where the Japanese fleet was, and knew where it was headed.
See Pearl Harbour article
On November 29th, Secretary of State Hull showed United Press reporter
Joe Leib a message with the time and place of the attack, and the New
York Times in it's special 12/8/41 Pearl Harbor edition, on page 13, reported
that the time and place of the attack had been known in advance!
The much repeated claim that the Japanese fleet maintained radio silence
on it's way to Hawaii was a lie. Among other intercepts still held in
the Archives of the NSA is the UNCODED message sent by the Japanese tanker
Shirya stating, "proceeding to a position 30.00 N, 154.20 E. Expect to
arrive at that point on 3 December." (near HI)
President
Lyndon Johnson wanted a war in Vietnam. He wanted it to help his friends
who owned defense companies to do a little business. He needed it to get
the Pentagon and CIA to quit trying to invade Cuba. And most of all, he needed
a provocation to convince the American people that there was really "no other
choice".
On August 5, 1964, newspapers across America reported "renewed attacks"
against American destroyers operating in Vietnamese waters, specifically
the Gulf of Tonkin. The official story was that North Vietnamese torpedo
boats launched an "unprovoked attack" on the USS Maddox while it was on
"routine patrol".
The truth is that USS Maddox was involved in aggressive intelligence
gathering in coordination with actual attacks by South Vietnam and the
Laotian Air Force against targets in North Vietnam. The truth is also
that there was no attack by torpedo boats against the USS Maddox. Captain
John J. Herrick, the task force commander in the Gulf, cabled Washington
DC that the report was the result of an "over-eager" sonarman who had
picked up the sounds of his own ship's screws and panicked. But even with
this knowledge that the report was false, Lyndon Johnson went on national
TV that night to announce the commencement of air strikes against North
Vietnam, "retaliation" for an attack that had never occurred.
President
George Bush wanted a war in Iraq.
Like Crassus, George Bush is motivated
by money. Specifically oil money. But with the OPEC alliance failing to keep
limits on oil production in the Mideast, the market was being glutted with oil
pumped from underneath Iraq, which sat over roughly 1/3 of the oil reserves
of the entire region.
George wanted a war to stop that flow of oil, to
keep prices (and profits) from falling any further than they already had.
But like Roosevelt, he needed the "other side" to make the first move.
Iraq had long been trying to acquire greater access to the Persian Gulf,
and felt limited confined a narrow strip of land along Kuwait's northern
border, which placed Iraqi interests in close proximity with hostile Iran.
George Bush, who had been covertly arming Iraq during its war with Iran,
sent word via April
Glaspie that the United States would not intervene if Saddam Hussein
grabbed a larger part of Kuwait. Saddam fell for the bait and invaded.
Of course, Americans were not about to send their sons and daughters
to risk their lives for petroleum products. So George
Bush arranged a hoax, using public relations firm Hill & Knowlton,
which has grown rich on taxpayer money by being most industrious and creative
liars! Hill & Knowlton concocted a monumental fraud in which the daughter
of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the United States, went on TV pretending
to be a nurse, and related a horror story in which Iraqi troops looted
the incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital, leaving the premature babies on
the cold floor to die. The media, part of the swindle from the start,
never bothered asking why the "nurse" didn't just pick the babies up and
wrap them in blankets or something.
Enraged by the incubator story, Americans supported operation Desert
Storm, which never removed Saddam Hussein from power but which did take
Kuwait's oil off of the market for almost 2 years and limited Iraq's oil
exports to this very day. That our sons and daughters came home with serious
and lingering medical illnesses was apparently not too great a price to
pay for increased oil profits.
Following
the victory in Iraq, yet another war appeared to be in the offering in the mineral
rich regions of Bosnia. Yet again, a hoax was used to create support for military
action.
The photo on the left of Fikret Alic staring through a barbed wire fence,
was used to "prove" the existance of modern day "Concentration Camps".
As the headline of "Belsen 92" indicates, all possible associations with
the Nazi horrors were made to sell the necessity of sending yet more American
troops into someone else's nation.
But when German Journalists went to Trnopolje, the site of the supposed
Concentration Camp to film a documentary, they discovered that the photo
was a fake! The camp at Trnopolje was not a concentration camp but a refugee
center. Nor was it surrounded by barbed wire. Careful examination of the
original photo revealed that the photographer had shot the photo through
a broken section of fence surrounding a tool shed. It was the photographer
who was on the inside, shooting out at the refugees.
Once again, Americans had been hoaxed into support of actions they might
otherwise not have agreed with.
While
several American Presidents have willingly started wars for personal purposes,
perhaps no President has ever carried it to the extreme that Bill Clinton has.
Coincident
with the expected public statement of Monica Lewinsky following her testimony,
Bill Clinton ordered a cruise missile attack on Sudan and Afghanistan, claiming
to have had irrefutable proof that bogeyman extraordinaire (and former Afghani
ally) Osama Bin Ladin was creating terrorist chemical weapons there.
Examination
of the photos of the debris revealed none of the expected structures one would
find in a laboratory that handled lethal weapons-grade materials. Assurances
from the CIA that they had a positive soil test for biological weapons fell
on their face when it was revealed that there had been no open soil anywhere
near the pre-bombed facility. Sudan requested that international observers come
test the remains of the factory for any signs of the nerve gas Clinton had insisted
was there. None was found. The Sudanese plant was a harmless aspirin factory,
and the owner has sued for damages.
Later examination of the site hit in Afghanistan revealed it to be a
mosque.

Meanwhile, back in Kosovo, stories about genocide and atrocities were
flooding the media (in time to distract from the Sudanese embarrassments),
just as lurid and sensational and as it turns out often just as fictional
as most of William Randolph Hearst's stories of atrocities against the
Cubans.
