Elie Hobeika, ASSASSINATED By Siamese twins CIA+MOSSAD-DIA+OSP=GHAZI+ Shawkat+LB Intel...: The policy-making process in Washington's corridors of power

Reginald Bartholomew "Reggie", is one of the "people" at the Heart of PNAC's Covert projects for more than a decade...?
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/iraq.htm
The policy-making process in Washington's corridors of power : intense rivalries and suspicions, the scheming, the personal ambition, the cover-your-ass of bureaucrats everywhere....the turf battles between 18 intelligence agencies.... It's not a pretty picture, but it's where it comes handy...to uncovering the secret history of Western intelligence....the UK/USA Alliance, transformed with PNAC....into a "forcible down your throats..." Evil Alliance of the new CIA2, on MOSSAD....and a few additional actors/facilitators for PNAC....! Their Unholy Trinity, in the Opus DEI/Vatican's support of the Nazi ratline, and how it was manipulated by Soviet intelligence after World War II.... is an even more sensational find in DC corridors of power and Intel agencies. The most hidden and interestingly unknown facts are only peripherally involved with Israel; where it is easy to debunk the "hook" that ties together new material on political corruption in U.S. and British intelligence...for decades.... The extent to which Israel is still "victimized"....or wants to continue to be victimized.... in other words..., in light of the huge mileage Israel gets from being victimized since the mid-1930s... is essentially the extent to which big oil and Arab interests....pertaining to the US interest and the interests of PNAC..... mattered more in the big scheme of things....and still do...

Three areas of inquiry are most notable. The first is the wheeling and dealing of the Dulles brothers, in and out of office, in response to their own interests and the interests of their clients....which is found again and again in various elections in USA of late...with BUSH after BUSH, BAKER after Baker...and Clinton after Clinton....and their hordes of cronies...are still vying to power and making it year after year....in a striking resemblance with Levantine feudal and family politics of sorts....which begs many questions about Democracy's future? The second is the involvement of the British in Iran-contra, and the third is the certainty that Bush's reversal of policy toward Syria...repeatedly over the years was the result of blackmail....by Syria....because Syria holds many cards up its chest on Intelligence cooperation with the white house of the Bushes....and has many dark secrets in its bureaucratic drawers...of a totalitarian regime of more than 38 years....and the Crown Jewels of these dirty secrets is the US shares in the infamous White House Murder Inc., with Mohammad Nassif and Assef Shawkat....etc., and their Lebanese Lackeys....but despite our many sources..., unfortunately, they still insist on requesting anonymity....but hopefully it will change soon...But DOD's OSP,
SOCOM is coming to life with a vengeance...again...program Able Danger- the White House Murder Inc.,....military intelligence program Able Danger and the pre-9/11 ......US PNAC LIARS, KILLERS and Murderers....The real "power" behind the power in USA comprises the most barbaric and savage persons ever to be born on planet earth...and the truth of the matter is that SYRIA is blackmailing the USA's PNAC CIA2 killers....with FULL documented Disclosure of the details of the murders carried out by Syria on behalf of the White House Murder Inc., starting with the January 24th 2002 assassination of Mr. Elie Hobeika, Mitri Ajram, Fares Sweidan and Walid El-Zein, and many more....The Syrians have done that in the past successfully and are masters in blackmail... and they do absolutely NOTHING for FREE...Euros Talk now... !!!

He was United States Ambassador to Lebanon 1982/1986, Ambassador to Italy during the first term of President Clinton...Bill Clinton decided to appoint Reginald Bartholomew, former US Ambassador to NATO as special envoy of the US in the negotiations of the Bosnian crisis...at a time when on 21 February-93 - Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in the Rome "La Stampa" said that the biggest mistake was the international recognition of Bosnia- Herzegovina which is made up of Orthodox Serbs, Catholic Croats, and of the Serbs and Croats who adopted Islam under Turkish occupation.
All the while Reginald Bartholomew remained Ambassador to Italy until December 1997....
In Beirut he has always attended the private get-togethers held by U.S.Ambassador Reginald Bartholomew for Lebanese factional leaders...with Mr. Elie Hobeika [HK]...

1984, 20 September: US embassy blast kills 20A suicide bomber has attacked the United States embassy in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The bomber - a member of the extremist group, the Islamic Jihad - drove at high speed up the main drive of the consulate in a truck containing 500 kg (1,102 lb) of high explosive. Guards opened fire on the vehicle but it exploded right in front of the embassy, killing at least 20 people. Dozens more were injured and the front of the five-storey building was ripped off. Among the injured was the US ambassador, Reginald Bartholomew, who was buried under the rubble and had to be rescued by the visiting UK envoy, David Myers. The bomber was able to get so far into the compound by using a vehicle similar to others in the US embassy fleet, fitted with diplomatic plates. The attack follows two other bombings by the Islamic Jihad on American targets in the last 18 months. The embassy had only been open six weeks after the previous one was blown up in April 1983, killing 61 people. Painful reminder ....
http://eightiesclub.tripod.com/id413.htm The extremist faction was also behind a devastating assault on a US Marine base in Beirut nine months ago, which left 241 people dead. The Islamic Jihad - who are allied with the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran - said it had attacked the embassy because it did not want a single American to remain on Lebanese soil. US President Ronald Reagan told reporters the attack was a painful reminder of the menace of terrorism, but said US citizens could not crawl into a hole. "You have to live and you have to do your best to protect yourself, but you have to know that these terrorist groups are threatening all over the world," he said.

A Wasteful and Dangerous Illusion," Foreign Policy Briefing 39, Cato Institute, 18 March 1996...

January 14, 1992.... Authors downplaying the threat of nuclear proliferation from the disintegrating Soviet Union include Mark Kramer, "Warheads and Chaos: The Soviet Nuclear Threat in Perspective," The National Interest, Fall 1991. Kramer argues that all warheads are well under control.) Nevertheless, increased risk exists, and indications are that the U.S. is beginning to take the risk seriously. In addition to the $400 million appropriated by Congress, the CIA is drawing up lists of top Soviet atomic scientists. (Gates Testimony, op. cit.) Bush last month dispatched Undersecretary of State Reginald Bartholomew to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) to evaluate the nuclear risks associated with the Soviet breakup and to determine immediate CIS requirements for assistance to reduce risks. As a result, the U.S. will be sending to the CIS containers and rail cars for the safe transport and storage of nuclear weapons and materials. (U.S. Senate, Armed Services Committee, Testimony of Reginald Bartholomew, Undersecretary of State for International Security Affairs, February 5, 1992.) And last week Baker was in the CIS with new proposals, reportedly including the establishment of a jobs "clearinghouse" to match Russian scientists with Western projects in related fields.... More still can be done....

Five Things You Need to Know to Understand the Latest Violence in Iraq (best info so far)
Some of the Victims of Mideast "Terrorist" Attacks...

http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/80580/
[...]
The real source of conflict in Iraq -- and the reason political reconciliation has been so difficult -- is a fundamental disagreement over what the future of Iraq will look like. Loosely defined, it is a clash of Iraqi nationalists -- with Muqtada al-Sadr as their most influential voice -- who desire a unified Iraqi state and public-sector management of the country's vast oil reserves and who forcefully reject foreign influence on Iraq's political process, be it from the United States, Iran or other outside forces.

The nationalists now represent a majority in Iraq's parliament but are opposed by what might be called Iraqi separatists, who envision a "soft partition" of Iraq into at least four semi-autonomous and sectarian-based regional entities, welcome the privatization of the Iraqi energy sector (and the rest of the Iraqi economy) and rely on foreign support to maintain their power.

We've written about this long-standing conflict extensively in the past, and now we're seeing it come to a head, as we believed it would at some point.

2. U.S. is propping up unpopular regime; Sadr has support because of his platform

One of the ironies of the reporting out of Iraq is the ubiquitous characterization of Muqtada al-Sadr as a "renegade," "radical" or "militant" cleric, despite the fact that he is the only leader of significance in the country who has ordered his followers to stand down. His ostensible militancy appears to arise primarily from his complete defection covertly...to the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq.

He has certainly been willing to use violence in the past, but the "firebrand" label belies the fact that Sadr is arguably the most popular leader among a large section of the Iraqi population and that he has forcefully rejected sectarian conflict and sought to bring together representatives of Iraq's various ethnic and sectarian groups in an effort to create real national reconciliation -- a process that the highly sectarian CIA2 Maliki regime, a la Siniora... has failed to accomplish.

It's vitally important to understand that Sadr's popularity and legitimacy is a result of his having a platform that's favored by an overwhelming majority of Iraqis.

Most Iraqis:

* Favor a strong central government free of the influence of militias.
* Oppose, by a 2-1 margin, the privatization of Iraq's energy sector -- a "benchmark towards progress according to the Bush administration.
* Favor a U.S. withdrawal on a short timeline (PDF) (most believe the United States plans to build permanent bases -- both are issues about which the Sadrists have been vocal.
* Oppose al Qaeda and the ideology of Osama Bin Laden and, to a lesser degree, Iranian influence on Iraq's internal affairs.

With the exception of their opposition to Al Qaeda, the five major separatist parties -- Sunni, Shia and Kurdish -- that make up Maliki's governing coalition are on the deeply unpopular side of these issues. A poll conducted last year found that 65 percent of Iraqis think the Iraqi government is doing a poor job, and Maliki himself has a Bush-like 66 percent disapproval rate.

As in Vietnam, the United States is backing an unpopular and decidedly undemocratic government in Iraq, and that simple fact explains much of the violent resistance that's going on in Iraq today.

Some of the Victims of Mideast "Terrorist" Attacks...
PNAC....and The White House' Murder Incorporated @ CIA2.

The following is a listing of incidents in which people are known to have been killed by Middle East-executed "terror" attacks.... The list will be updated as more information becomes available from PNAC archives...The exact number of people casualties is difficult to calculate because of incomplete news reports regarding numbers and nationalities of those injured. The toll from the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center is also uncertain, but current figures place the number of dead above 3,000. The number of dead at the Pentagon and on the hijacked airliners numbered approximately 385. Since Yasser Arafat "renounced" violence in the Oslo Peace Accords on September 13, 1993, at least 53 people have been murdered and at least another 83 Americans have been injured by Palestinian terrorism. Excluding the September 11 attacks, approximately 700 Americans have been killed and 1,600 wounded in terrorist attacks since 1970. This list also includes injured Americans since Oslo 1993...

The terrorists forced the pilot to fly to Tehran where the terrorists murdered two passengers--American Agency for International Development employees, Charles Hegna and William Stanford. Although an Iranian special unit ended the incident by storming the plane and arresting the terrorists, the Iranian government might also have been involved in the hijacking.

June 14, 1985, Between Athens and Rome. Two Hizballah members hijacked a TWA flight en route to Rome from Athens and forced the pilot to fly to Beirut. The terrorists, believed to belong to Hizballah, asked for the release of members of the group Kuwait 17 and 700 Shi'ite prisoners held in Israeli and South Lebanese prisons. The eight crewmembers and 145 passengers were held for 17 days during which one of the hostages, Robert Stethem, a U.S. Navy diver, was murdered. After being flown twice to Algiers, the aircraft returned to Beirut and the hostages were released. Later on, four Hizballah members were secretly indicted. One of them, the Hizballah senior officer Imad Mughniyah, was indicted in absentia.

October 7, 1985, Between Alexandria, Egypt and Haifa, Israel. A four-member PFLP squad took over the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro, as it was sailing from Alexandria, Egypt, to Israel. The squad murdered a disabled U.S. citizen, Leon Klinghoffer, by throwing him in the ocean. The rest of the passengers were held hostage for two days and later released after the terrorists turned themselves in to Egyptian authorities in return for safe passage. But U.S. Navy fighters intercepted the Egyptian aircraft flying the terrorists to Tunis and forced it to land at the NATO airbase in Italy, where the terrorists were arrested. Two of the terrorists were tried in Italy and sentenced to prison. The Italian authorities however let the two others escape on diplomatic passports. Abu Abbas, who masterminded the hijacking, was later convicted to life imprisonment in absentia.

December 27, 1985, Rome, Italy. Four terrorists from Abu Nidal's organization attacked El Al offices at the Leonardo di Vinci Airport in Rome.

April 5, 1986, West Berlin, Germany. An explosion at the "La Belle" nightclub in Berlin, frequented by American soldiers, killed three--2 U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman-and wounded 191 including 41 U.S. soldiers.

Others, however, were tried including Yassir Shraidi and Musbah Eter, arrested in Rome in August 1997 and extradited; and also Ali Chanaa, his wife, Verena Chanaa, and her sister, Andrea Haeusler. Shraidi, accused of masterminding the attack, was sentenced to 14 years in jail. The Libyan diplomat Musbah Eter and Ali Chanaa were both sentenced to 12 years in jail. Verena Chanaa was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Andrea Haeusler was acquitted.

September 5, 1986, Karachi, Pakistan. Abu Nidal members hijacked a Pan Am flight leaving Karachi, Pakistan bound for Frankfurt, Germany and New York with 379 passengers, including 89 Americans. The terrorists forced the plane to land in Larnaca, Cyprus, where they demanded the release of two Palestinians and a Briton jailed for the murder of three Israelis there in 1985. The terrorists killed 22 of the passengers, including two American citizens and wounded many others. They were caught and indicted by a Washington grand jury in 1991.

September 9, 1986, Beirut, Lebanon. Continuing its anti-American attacks, Hizballah kidnapped Frank Reed, director of the American University in Beirut, whom they accused of being "a CIA agent."

William Higgins, the American chief of the United Nations Truce Supervisory Organization, was abducted by Hizballah while driving from Tyre to Nakura. The hostages demanded the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon and the release of all Palestinian and Lebanese held prisoners in Israel. The U.S. government refused to answer the request. Hizballah later claimed they killed Higgins.

December 21, 1988, Lockerbie, Scotland. Pan Am Flight 103 departing from Frankfurt to New York was blown up in midair, killing all 259 passengers and another 11 people on the ground in Scotland. Two Libyan agents were found responsible for planting a sophisticated suitcase bomb onboard the plane. On 14 November 1991, arrest warrants were issued for Al-Amin Khalifa Fahima and Abdel Baset Ali Mohamed al-Megrahi. After Libya refused to extradite the suspects to stand trial, the United Nations leveled sanctions against the country in April 1992, including the freezing of Libyan assets abroad. In 1999, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi agreed to hand over the two suspects, but only if their trial was held in a neutral country and presided over by a Scottish judge. With the help of Saudi Arabia's King Fahd and Crown Prince Abdullah, Al-Megrahi and Fahima were finally extradited and tried in Camp Zeist in the Netherlands. Megrahi was found guilty and jailed for life, while Fahima was acquitted due to a "lack of evidence" of his involvement. After the extradition, UN sanctions against Libya were automatically lifted.

January 27, 1989, Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey. Three simultaneous bombings were carried out against U.S. business targets--the Turkish American Businessmen Association and the Economic Development Foundation in Istanbul, and the Metal Employees Union in Ankara. The Dev Sol (Revolutionary Left) was held responsible for the attacks.

March 6, 1989, Cairo, Egypt. Two explosive devices were safely removed from the grounds of the American and British Cultural centers in Cairo. Three organizations were believed to be responsible for the attack: The January 15 organization, which had sent a letter bomb to the Israeli ambassador to London in January; the Egyptian Revolutionary Organization that from out 1984-1986 carried out attacks against U.S. and Israeli targets; and the Nasserite Organization, which had attacked British and American targets in 1988.

June 12, 1989, Bosphorus Straits, Turkey. A bomb exploded aboard an unoccupied boat used by U.S. consular staff. The explosion caused extensive damage but no casualties. An organization previously unknown, the Warriors of the June 16th Movement, claimed responsibility for the attack.

October 11, 1989, Izmir, Turkey. An explosive charge went off outside a U.S. military PX. Dev Sol was held responsible for the attack.

November 22, 1989, Beirut, Lebanon.

The untimely "coming" of "The American Century".

The time had arrived, "Reggie" said, for the United States "to exert upon the world the full impact of our influence, for such purposes as we see fit, and by such means as we see fit"...., would you come on board...?
The answer was a flat : NO thanks.... Dateline 1996/97...
The result was a barbaric string of murders by the goons of Assef Shawkat :
The White House Murder Inc.,...

We can hardly ask for a more candid, blunter declaration of imperial design. It has been echoed in recent years by the intellectual handmaidens of the Bush administration, but with assurances that the motive of this "influence" is benign, that the "purposes" - whether in Reggie's formulation or more recent ones - are noble, that this is an "imperialism lite". As George W. Bush said in his second inaugural address: "Spreading liberty around the world ... is the calling of our time." The New York Times called that speech "striking for its idealism"...., lies, obfuscation, treachery and diabolical barbaric designs of PNAC.

The American Empire has always been a bipartisan project - Democrats and Republicans have taken turns extending it, extolling it, justifying it....regardless the lies, obfuscation, treachery and diabolical barbaric designs of the PNAC's representative in any camp...
President Woodrow Wilson told graduates of the Naval Academy in 1914 (the year he bombarded Mexico) that the US used "her navy and her army ... as the instruments of civilization, not as the instruments of aggression". And Bill Clinton, in 1992, told West Point graduates: "The values you learned here ... will be able to spread throughout the country and throughout the world." ....by bombing medicine factories in Sudan with false pretenses...because they were providing cheap medicines throughout Africa...which the Drug companies did not like....Hence, Tomahawk missiles were sent to destroy civilian factories with false fabricated lies about WMDs, and later Clinton apologizes by saying "sorry" we made a mistake...., but this was to be repeated in IRAQ few years later, with similar fabrications.....
For the people of the United States, and indeed for people all over the world, those claims sooner or later are revealed to be false. The rhetoric, often persuasive on first hearing, soon becomes overwhelmed by horrors that can no longer be concealed: the bloody corpses of Iraq, Sudan, Lebanon, Palestine, Afghanistan, the torn limbs of American GIs, the millions of families driven from their homes - in the Middle East and in the Mississippi Delta.
