NOTE: TWO
LECTURES PRESENTING MR. EMORY’S VIEWS OF WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN THE FUTURE ARE
NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWLOAD FOR FREE IN
BOTH REAL AUDIO AND MP3. These lectures are:
L-1: ‘The Political Implications of the UFO Phenomenon and the ‘ET’ Myth’; and
L-2: ‘The Future--Technology, Theocracy and the Thousand-Year-Reich.’
Descriptions are available in the Lecture Series section.
NEW!! A number of
vitally important books are now available for download for FREE. The books are:
Martin Bormann: Nazi in
Exile by Paul Manning; The Nazis Go Underground
by Curt Reiss; and All Honorable Men (parts 1 and 2) by James
Stewart Martin. Taken together, these books will provide a significant
understanding of the concept and reality of The Underground Reich, and they can
be downloaded with a modem Internet connection. They are available at: Spitfirelist.com/Books. In addition, we have added Cairo to Damascus by John Roy Carlson [1951], Germany Plots with the Kremlin by T.H. Tetens [1953], and Armies of Spies by Joseph Golomb [1939].
Yet another recent addition is Germany’s
Master Plan by Joseph Borkin and Charles Welsh. (Borkin is the author of
the 1979 classic The Crime and Punishment
of I.G. Farben.) Another anti-fascist classic about I.G. Farben supplements
the Borkin and Welsh text—Treason’s Peace
by Howard Watson Ambruster. Two more recently-posted gems are The Thousand-Year Conspiracy by Paul
Winkler and Falange by Alan Chase,
both published in 1943. The Winkler text documents the evolution of militant
Pan-Germanism from the Teutonic Knights to the Nazis and Falange documents the Third Reich’s geopolitical goals in the
Spanish-speaking world. By the time many of you read this description, more of
the long-out-of-print anti-fascist books that are more than 50 years old will
have been added to the Spitfirelist.com/Books URL. The Manning text’s URL also features a discussion of
Paul Manning’s career and professional credentials. Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile is also available in html. Note also that FTR#305
has a synoptic overview of the Bormann organization. An understanding of the
Bormann organization is essential for an in-depth grasp of the arguments
presented on For The Record.
Note also that U.S. Government documents proving Prescott
Bush Sr.’s Money-Laundering on behalf of the Third Reich before and after World
War II are available at a linked website, along with commentary by John
Buchanan, who located the documentation. This material is discussed in FTR#435.
The website containing the documents is www.debatecomics.org/BushFamilyFortune/.
New! The 1990
Archive Show “Uncle Sam and Il Duce: American Support for Mussolini and the
Mythology of the Corporate State” is now available for download for FREE on
MP3! This program is arguably the best post-World War II analysis of classical
fascism—what Mussolini called “The Corporate State.” Check it out at: http://www.spitfirelist.com/Archives/
Summary of FTR#583—(Note:
The massive volume of ‘For The Record’ programs about 9/11 and related topics
is summarized and analyzed in the periodically-updated description for FTR#391. FTR#’s
454, 455, 456 are compilations of much of the key documentation
culled from Mr. Emory’s investigation into 9/11. Along with FTR#391, they should give
listeners/readers a substantive grasp of this momentous event. It is
recommended that listeners use this description and e-mail it to others.) Updating the subject of
Islamic fascism, the program emphasizes its operating links with other,
non-Islamic fascist elements. Exemplifying this relationship is the role of
Kazbek Soobzokov in a Muslim Brotherhood charitable organization called Islamic
Relief Worldwide. The son of Waffen SS officer and CIA operative Tscherim
Soobzokov, Kazbek is the American representative of this Muslim Brotherhood
entity, which manifests that organization’s Nazi heritage, as well as helping
to fund Hamas. Interestingly, and perhaps significantly, the Mormons heavily
finance IRW’s American branch! Much of the first side of the program updates
the investigation into Bank Al Taqwa—the main financial organ of the
Islamofascist Muslim Brotherhood and an accused funding source for Al Qaeda.
Blaming the failure of their investigation on lack of cooperation by Bank Al
Taqwa’s Bahamas branch, the Swiss closed their inquiry in 2006. Al Taqwa’s
Bahamas branch was represented by Sean Hanna, whose father’s firm represented a
number of businesses associated with Al Taqwa principals Youssef Nada and Ahmed
Idris Nasreddin. A month before [Sean’s father] Arthur D. Hanna assumed the
office of Governor General of the Bahamas, Sean Hanna died unexpectedly. Al
Taqwa and the Muslim Brotherhood heavily overlap the milieu of the SAAR network
and related elements of the GOP hierarchy. The founder of the entities that
comprised the SAAR network is Yaqub Mirza, who is deeply involved with
companies developing the military’s new computerized war-fighting system.
Another of Mirza’s firms (Ptech) developed the threat-assessment software
architecture for the Air Force, the FAA and NORAD. Will the C4ISR system
perform in battle in the way that the Ptech systems did on 9/11?
Program Highlights Include: Senator Barbara Boxer’s
rescinding of an award to a member of CAIR; the strong presence of
terrorist-related elements in CAIR; the shocking lack of knowledge of the
Islamic world on the part of important government personnel; Argentina’s
indictment of Iranian officials for planning the 1994 AMIA bombing; review of
the links between the AMIA bomb plotters and neo-Nazi elements; the Iranian
Holocaust denial conference; the presence at that conference of former Ku Klux
Klan leader David Duke; Iranian president Ahmadinejad’s growing links to
European neo-Nazis. (For more about the subject of Islamic fascism, see—among
other programs-- FTR#’s 343, 455, 456, 473, 518, 538, 558.)
1.
The broadcast begins by reviewing information about the release of
government documents about the incorporation of Nazi war criminals into the
U.S. intelligence system at the conclusion of World War II. “. . . . . The
Eichmann papers are among 27,000 newly declassified pages released by the
C.I.A. to the National Archives under Congressional pressure to make public
files about former officials of Hitler's regime later used as American agents.
The material reinforces the view that most former Nazis gave American
intelligence little of value and in some cases proved to be damaging double
agents for the Soviet K.G.B., according to historians and members of the
government panel that has worked to open the long-secret files. . . .” (“C.I.A. Knew Where Eichmann Was Hiding, Documents
Show” by Scott Shane; New York Times; 6/7/2006; p. A3; accessed at: http://ftrsupplemental.blogspot.com/2006/06/cia-knew-where-eichmann-was-hiding.html.)
2.
Among the Nazis sheltered by the U.S. for their perceived intelligence
expertise was Tscherim Soobzokov, a Waffen SS officer and member of a Muslim
fighting unit. A second generation of Soobzokovs is now making news, as we will
see below. “ . . . . The documents also provide new information about the
case of Tscherim Soobzokov, a former SS officer who was the subject of a
much-publicized deportation case in 1979 when he was living as an American
citizen in Paterson, N.J. He was charged with having falsified his immigration
application to conceal his SS service, which ordinarily would have barred his
entry. But the charge was dropped when a C.I.A. document turned up showing that
he had disclosed his SS membership. The newly declassified records show that he
was employed by the C.I.A. from 1952 to 1959 despite ‘clear evidence of a war
crimes record,’ said another historian at the briefing, Richard Breitman of
American University. Because it valued Mr. Soobzokov for his language skills
and ties to fellow ethnic Circassians living in the Soviet Union, the C.I.A.
deliberately hid details of his Nazi record from the Immigration and
Naturalization Service after he moved to the United States in 1955, Mr.
Breitman said. But Mr. Soobzokov ultimately did not escape his past. He died in
1985 after a pipe bomb exploded outside his house. The case has never been
solved.” (Idem.)
3.
Turning to the first topic of discussion, the program sets forth the
situation of Islamic Relief, a Muslim charity closely associated with the
fascist Muslim Brotherhood and charged with being a front organization for
Hamas terrorists. (Hamas is a Palestinian offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.)
Founded by a relative of Hassan al-Banna (the founder of the Brotherhood),
Islamic Relief has been financed by the Mormons and has been charged by the
Israelis with manifesting Nazi ideological trappings, in addition to its terrorist
operations. (For more about the Muslim Brotherhood, see—among other programs—FTR#’s
343, 455, 473, 518, 538.) “Mormons are among the most patriotic Americans. So, why
are they the new financiers of Islamic terrorism and instruction for young
children in beheadings? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the
Mormon Church, is the single largest donor to the U.S. branch of Islamic Relief
Worldwide (IRW), also known as Islamic Relief. In the past year, it donated
$1.6 million to the charity. But Islamic Relief is not just any charity. The
Israeli government says it is a Hamas front group. It is also under
investigation by the American government. IRW was founded in 1984 by Dr. Hany
El Banna. He is a relative of Hassan El Banna, founder of the Muslim
Brotherhood terrorist group--from which Hamas, Yasser Arafat, and Al-Qaeda's
second-in-command Ayman Al-Zawahiri emanated.” (“Mormons Financing
Terrorism?” by Debbie Schlussel; Front Page Magazine; 9/4/2006; accessed
at: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=24206.)
4.
More about the Nazi orientation of Islamic Relief: “In May, Israel deported Ayaz Ali, IRW's chief of
operations in Gaza, after three weeks in jail. Israel said Ali gave money to
Hamas and Al-Wafa and Al-Tzalah, both outlawed by Israel for laundering money
to Hamas. He also stored images of Osama Bin Laden, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi,
Senior German Nazi officials, Nazi swastikas, and a ‘God Bless Hitler’ banner
on his computer. Upon Ali's deportation an Israeli government statement said: ‘He also
admitted that he worked in Jordan and cooperated with local Hamas operatives. .
. . Incriminating files were found on Ali's computer, including documents that
attested to [Islamic Relief's] ties with illegal HAMAS funds abroad--in the UK
and in Saudi Arabia--and in Nablus. The IRW's activities in Judea, Samaria and
the Gaza Strip are carried out by social welfare organizations controlled and
staffed by Hamas operatives. The intensive activities of these associations are
designed to further Hamas' ideology among the Palestinian population. These
associations' educational and religious institutions incite against the State
of Israel and advocate terrorist actions against it and its citizens.’ In 1999,
IRW's British headquarters received $50,000 from a Canadian group that the
Treasury Department says is a Bin Laden front, according to the Los Angeles
Times.” (Idem.)
5.
Islamic Relief Worldwide’s registered American agent is Kazbek
Soobzokov, the son of Tscherim Soobzokov! Note the difficulty of interdicting
terrorist-support organizations when they double as charitable organizations. “Investigator Bill Warner notes that IRW's registered agent in
the United States, Kazbek Soobzokov, is the son of Nazi Waffen SS officer
Tscherim Soobzokov and was the lawyer for deported accused terrorist and
Islamic cleric, Imam Wagdy Mohamed Ghoneim. Regarding Ghoneim, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement official Bill Odencrantz said, ‘Frankly, our task is not to
sit around and wait for people to blow up buildings.’ At an Islamic Relief
fundraiser I attended last Friday, Misbah Shahid, the organization's Detroit
representative, announced that IRW publishes and distributes school textbooks
to children in Palestinian refugee camps. But textbooks distributed in the
camps are riddled with anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and anti-American
rhetoric, according to Molly Resnick of Mothers Against Teaching Children to
Kill and Hate. Shahid also told the audience that his organization is one of
the key Non-Governmental Organizations currently distributing aid to
Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, including UN and U.S. aid. But those
camps are known as breeding grounds for terrorists.” (Idem.)
6.
It is indeed depressing to see the nature of this organization, the
American branch of which is heavily supported by the Mormons. Note that aid was
given by IRW to the state of Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina. This aid
was accepted by Haley Barbour, the GOP governor of Mississippi. As discussed in
FTR#433, Barbour’s
New Bridge firm is subcontracting with the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Al-Bunnia
firm in the “reconstruction” of Iraq. “Given all
this, why are Mormons pouring millions into Islamic Relief? They aren't alone.
Islamic Relief's brochures show Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour accepting
Katrina aid from IRW, last year. It is a consultative member of the UN. It was
founded in Britain with the continued financial aid and assistance of the
British government, whose ambassador to Israel convinced the Israeli government
to allow Islamic Relief to open its HAMAS-friendly Gaza office. Almost five
years after 9/11, we will never end terrorism if the West continues to sanction
its funding.” (Idem.)
7.
Supplementing previous discussion about the Bank Al Taqwa (the main
financial organ of the Muslim Brotherhood), the program presents information about
Swiss attribution for the failure of the post-9/11 investigation into Al
Taqwa’s activities on behalf of Al Qaeda. The Swiss are blaming the failure of
the investigation on the Bahamaian authorities. (For more about Al Taqwa,
see—among other programs—FTR#’s 343, 454, 455, 456, 513.) “Swiss authorities recently blamed The Bahamas for the
failure of an investigation into Al Taqwa Management Organization now Nada
Management Organization. . . . In
December 2000 the government of The Bahamas created legislation that it
believed would remove it from the OECD’s blacklist. As part of this exercise
Bahamian regulators decided they would no longer entertain banks that had no
physical presence in The Bahamas. Scores of banks, derogatorily known as brass
plate banks, did their homework and decided to close shop. According to Al
Taqwa’s Bahamian attorney and representative Sean Hanna, Youssef Nada, Al
Taqwa’s founder, had decided that their Bahamian operations did not warrant the
added expense of a physical presence and had decided to wind up the operation.
The Central Bank had given a grace period for such banks to make the necessary
arrangements. . . .” (“Blacklisting Fallout: Swiss Blame Bahamian
Authorities” by C.E. Huggins; Caribbean Net News; 6/13/2005; accessed
at: http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/2005/06/13/fallout.shtml.)
8.
Sean Hanna—Taqwa’s representative in the Bahamas—belongs to a prominent
Bahamian family. His father just assumed the position of Governor-General of
the Bahamas. “Pledging to unite all Bahamians and
to foster in them a spirit of patriotism, His Excellency Arthur Dion Hanna, 77,
became the seventh Governor-General of an independent Bahamas. . . .” “Hanna Pledges Unity; Seventh Governor-General also Pledges
to ‘Sow the Seeds of Peace’” by Lindsay Thompson; The Freeport News;
2/2/2007; accessed at: http://freeport.nassauguardian.net/national_local/52811313498658.php.)
9.
Arthur Hanna’s company also handled business for several entities
related to Youssef Nada and Ahmed Idriss Nasreddin. Items 12, 13 and 14
deal with Muslim Brotherhood entities represented by Arthur D. Hanna. (“Security
Council Committee Adds Twenty-Five Individuals and Entities to Its List”;
9/5/2002; accessed at: http://www.unis.unvienna.org/unis/pressrels/2002/sc7494.html?print.)
10.
Six months after the Swiss shut down their investigation of Al Taqwa
and a month before his father assumed office, Sean Hanna died unexpectedly.
Shortly after the U.S. publicly disclosed the existence of an account at Al
Taqwa maintained for Al Qaeda by Ali bin Mussalim, bin Mussalim died in
Lausanne. (For more about his death and the interesting connection he
maintained with the international far-right, see FTR#513, as well as FTR#556.) “In the midst of the Christmas season, when everyone is
supposedly enjoying themselves and having fun, there are many people who are in
sorrow because of the death of loved ones. It's a fact that there are no days
earmarked for the Grim Reaper to take a holiday. It doesn't matter if it's a
person's birthday or anniversary, whether it's Christmas or any other specialty
date on the calendar. If it is the appointed time for someone, then so be it,
that date will be kept, regardless. . . Sean Hanna was called to the Bar at the
young age of 22, but he had the distinction of coming from a family of lawyers,
with his father Arthur D Hanna at the head, his brother Dion and sister Glenys
Hanna-Martin, Minister of Transport and Aviation. Sean Hanna was a relatively
quiet and unobtrusive individual and for the most part kept out of the
limelight, although he was a passionate person with a keen legal mind, who
stood up for what he believed in. . . .” (“Holiday Deaths”; The
Nassau Guardian; accessed at: http://www.thenassauguardian.com/editorial/76814193240345.php.)
11.
Next, the program turns to the subject of Yaqub Mirza, who set up the
businesses and charities raided by Operation Green Quest on 3/20/2002. In spite
of his role in setting up those organizations, Mirza has never been charged
with a crime. (For more about Mirza and the Green Quest raids, see—among other
programs—FTR#’s 356, 454.) Mirza is also a
director of a high-tech firm called Ptech. Deeply involved with the Muslim
Brotherhood and financed, in part, by people involved with Al Qaeda, Ptech
developed the threat-assessment software architecture for the Air Force, the
FAA, and NORAD, among other government agencies. Many observers believe that
Ptech may well account for the strange behavior of air defense units on 9/11.
(For more about Ptech and Mirza, see FTR#’s 462, 464, 467.) It appears that
Mirza is linked to the companies developing the high-tech military operating
system for the future. “Here's the gist of this
post: the Pentagon is currently throwing billions of dollars into its visionary Future Combat Systems network (FCS). This is
going to the network that allows all of the military systems of the future to
communicate and coordinate, including remotely controlled drones that will patrol the
streets of tomorrow's urban warfare nightmare environments. It appears that the
company chosen to provide the embedded operating system for the vital ‘command,
control, communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance’ (C4ISR) infrastructure used across all FCS platforms had (and
possibly still has) Yaqcub Mirza on its board. And Yaqcub Mirza just happens to
be the guy that set up the Saudi/Muslim Brotherhood's SAAR network that was
raided in the Operation Greenquest raids of 2002 AND sat on the board of
Ptech. . . .” (“Key Military Network
Operating System Made by Company with Ptech Ties” posted by ftr23532; Democratic
Underground; posted on 1/21/07; accessed at: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3221.)
12.
“Here's an overview of the Future Combat Systems indicating how critical C4ISR is to the whole system: . . . The
Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS) network allows the FCS Family-of-Systems
(FoS) to operate as a cohesive system-of-systems where the whole of its
capabilities is greater than the sum of its parts. As the key to the Army's
transformation, the network, and its logistics and Embedded Training (ET)
systems, enable the Future Force to employ revolutionary operational and
organizational concepts. The network enables Soldiers to perceive, comprehend,
shape, and dominate the future battlefield at unprecedented levels as defined
by the FCS Operational Requirements Document (ORD). The FCS network consists of
four overarching building blocks: System-of-Systems Common Operating
Environment (SOSCOE); Battle Command (BC) software; communications and
computers (CC); and intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR)
systems. The four building blocks synergistically interact enabling the Future
Force to see first, understand first, act first and finish decisively.” (Idem.)
13.
LynuxWorks got the contract to provide the C4ISR system. “So guess who got the contract to provide the C4ISR system: .
. . ‘LynuxWorks Inc. today announced it was chosen as the embedded operating system
vendor by General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems for the U.S. Army's
Future Combat Systems (FCS) program's Integrated Computer System (ICS). Under
terms of the contract, LynuxWorks' Linux-compatible LynxOS-178 safety-critical
real-time operating system (RTOS) will be used to meet the performance and
reliability needs of the FCS, a family of advanced, networked air- and
ground-based military systems for use by the Army's Future Force. As the
command, control, communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance (C4ISR) infrastructure used across all FCS platforms, General
Dynamics' ICS will provide computer processing, networking, information
assurance, and data storage resources necessary to support the network-centric
operations of FCS.’” (Ibid.; Lynux information from [“LynuxWorks
Selected as Embedded Operating System Vendor for Army's Future Combat Systems
Program”; 4/11/2005; accessed at: http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2005/apr/1132597.htm.)
14.
It is through LynuxWorks that Yaqub Mirza and Sterling Management Group
have access to the C4ISR system. “Now, looking at
the LynuxWorks website there's no reference to
Yuqub Mirza, although, on a side note, former GOP VA governor James Gilmore
sits on its technical advisory board.
But it turns out that one of the investors in Lynuxworks was the Herdon
VA-based Sterling Management Group (SMG), and the President and CEO of the SMG is Yaqub Mirza.
Here's an SEC filing from 2000 for
LynuxWorks (formerly known as ‘Lynx Real Time Systems’) that lists ‘Sterling
Lynux Group’ as one of the owners and Yuqub Mirza as a director. According to this site, Yacub Mirza might possibly still sit on LynuxWorks's board.
And here's another company, PocketPass.com that has both Mirza and Lynux Chairman Inder Singh of its board of
directors. The two apparently put financed the creation of PocketPass back in
1999, so the two appear to have more than just a casual business relationship.”
(Idem.)
15.
Ptech is involved with the C4ISR system! One wonders if this system
will malfunction or fall victim to countermeasures as a result of being
compromised. Will it fail to operate properly, like the air defense system on
9/11? “And as mentioned above, Yacub Mirza also just happens to be both a financier of Ptech
(along with accused al-Qaeda financier Yassin al-Qadi) and a Ptech board
member. And for those interested, here is some info on
Operation Greenquest, the SAAR network and its ties to Grover Norquist, here is some info on Yassin
al-Qadi and obstruction of investigations into him (skip down the to the
‘Operation Vulgar Betrayal’ stuff). To make matters worse, it appears that Ptech was involved with the military's
C4ISR system:...” (Idem.)
16.
Details about Ptech’s involvement with the C4ISR system: “The Ptech FrameWork Military Information Architecture
Accelerator enables military information architects and decision makers to
create a comprehensive, concordant context for planning and managing change in
the information-related capabilities that are critical to the success of
military operations and enterprises. With domain-specific metamodels based on
concepts and behavior rules adapted from the DoD C4ISR Architecture Framework,
the CADM, and operational experience, the MIAA creates and automatically
enforces a consistent taxonomy (artifacts, interrelationships and rules)
throughout all operational, system, and technical view products. The MIAA also
incorporates the ability to organize architecture data according to Zachman,
Boer and other architecture frameworks, and provides file-based interfaces to
the Joint C4ISR Architecture Planning System (JCAPS) and powerful discrete
event simulation capability (Design/CPN). . . .” (Ibid.; Ptech

(MIAA)”; http://www.enterprise-architecture.info/Images/Web%20Ptech%20Product%20Descriptions/WEB%20Ptech%20Product%20Description.htm#_Toc536856901.])
17.
Next, the broadcast highlights the rescinding of an award given to a
member of the Council on Arab-American Relations. Originally awarded by Senator
Barbara Boxer, the decoration was withdrawn because of the CAIR’s links to
extremists. “Senator Barbara Boxer has rescinded
an award her office gave to a Sacramento Islamic activist after criticism that
the group he represents—the Council on American-Islamic Relations—holds
extremist views and has ties to international terrorist organizations. ‘I’m
saying the four words that every elected official hates to say: ‘I made a
mistake,’’ the California Democrat said in a telephone interview Friday. ‘I
hope they won’t believe that I did this to hurt the Muslim community . . . . We
just have to be more careful when we reach out.’ The U.S. senator’s office
rescinded a ‘certificate of achievement’ awarded in November to Basim Elkarra,
head of the council’s Sacramento office. The rare public reversal follows
charges from right-wing activists that Boxer was courting Muslim extremists by
associating with the group. . . .” (“Boxer
Rescinds Award to Islamic Activist” by Ashraf Khalil; The Los Angeles Times;
1/6/2007; pp. B1-B11.)
18.
Exacerbating
tensions between Muslim and non-Muslim in the United States is the fact that
extremist organizations affiliated with terrorists and the Islamofascist Muslim
Brotherhood have been empowered to speak for the average Muslim-American. The
disturbing nature of “CAIR-as-Muslim-American-civil-rights advocates” can be
gleaned from the following passage, reviewed from FTR#357. “The record of the Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR)—which, like the AMC, sends members to meetings organized by [GOP
luminaries] Norquist and Saffuri—is no more encouraging. When interviewed by
Salon’s Jake Tapper on September 26, CAIR Communication Director Ibrahim Hooper
refused to condemn Osama bin Laden. CAIR founder Nihad Awad, who appeared with
Bush at the Washington Islamic Center, has argued that ‘there is ample evidence
indicating that both the Mossad and the Egyptian Intelligence [service] played
a role in the [1993 World Trade Center] explosion.’ And Siraj Wahaj, who has
served as a CAIR board member, has been described by federal prosecutor Mary Jo
White as a possible conspirator in the ’93 bombing. . . . As Harvard
professor of Islamic studies Ali Asani has complained, ‘There is general
concern among Muslim intellectuals about how not only CAIR, but some of these other
organizations are claiming to speak in the name of the Muslim community, and
how they’re coming to be recognized by the government as spokespeople for the
Muslim community in the U.S.’ [Italics are Mr. Emory’s.]” (“Fevered Pitch” by Franklin Foer; The New
Republic; 11/12/2001; pp. 5-6; accessed at www.thenewrepublic.com/111201/foer111201.html.)
19.
The lack of
knowledge about the Islamic world on the part of America’s political leadership
is truly depressing. Nancy Pelosi’s choice of personnel to lead the House
Intelligence Committee was Sylvestre Reyes of Texas, who clearly isn’t
qualified to hold the position. “ . . . After Nancy
Pelosi and Jane Harman had their final catfight about who would lead the House
Intelligence Committee, aptly enough at the Four Seasons’ hair salon in
Georgetown, the new speaker passed over the knowledgeable and camera-eager Ms.
Harman and mystifyingly gave the consequential job to Sylvestre Reyes of Texas.
Mr. Reyes promptly tripped over the most critical theme in the field of
intelligence. Jeff Stein, interviewing the incoming chairman for Congressional
Quarterly, asked him whether Al Qaeda was Sunni or Shiite.
‘Predominantly—probably Shiite,’ the lawmaker guessed. As Mr. Stein corrected
him in the article: ‘Al Qaeda is profoundly Sunni. If a Shiite showed up
at an Al Qaeda clubhouse, they’d slice off his head and use it for a soccer
ball.’ Mr. Stein followed up with a Hezbollah question: ‘What are they?’ Again,
Mr. Reyes was stumped. ‘Hezbollah,’ he stammered. ‘Uh, Hezbollah. Why do you
ask me these questions at 5 o’clock? Can I answer in Spanish?’ . . . .” (“Flunking
Our Future” by Maureen Dowd; The New York Times; 12/20/2006; p. A27.)
20.
Shiite
Islamofascists also network with the fascist international. In past
discussions, we have noted the evidentiary tributaries running between a number
of supposedly unconnected terrorist incidents—the first World Trade Center
attack in 1993, the 1994 AMIA bombing in Argentina, the Oklahoma City Bombing
and the 9/11 attacks. These connections, in turn, indicate that Islamic
fascists are actively collaborating with neo-Nazi and white supremacist
elements. The next to last item of discussion in the program concerns the
Argentine government’s charge that Iran directed its Hezbollah proxy to carry
out one of those attacks--the AMIA bombing in 1994. In the AMIA attack, we once
again see Islamic fascists collaborating with Western fascists and white
supremacists. As discussed in FTR#456, the Argentine police
who assisted the attack were discovered to be members of WAR—White Aryan
Resistance, an American White Supremacist group founded by Tom Metzger and to
which Timothy McVeigh allegedly belonged. In addition, the AMIA attacks were
aided by Aryan Nations personnel, who trained Islamists in the Tri-Border
region of Latin America. In FTR#’s 456. 457, we examined the
allegation that a former Green Beret and Vietnam War veteran who works with the
Aryan Nations in the Tri-Border area provided logistical assistance to Mohamed
Atta on 9/11. As can be seen from these file photos of Hezbollah rallies, the
neo-Nazis find plenty to like about Hezbollah: http://ftrsupplemental.blogspot.com/2006/07/weapons-and-funding-boost-hezbollahs.html;

masterminding the deadly bombing of a Jewish cultural center here 12 years ago
and were seeking the arrest of former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani and
other former officials of the Islamic Republic. Argentine authorities have long
contended that Iran was involved in the attack, which killed 85 and injured
more than 200, but this was the strongest allegation to date linking Iran to
the bombing. The decision to strike the Jewish facility was made ‘by the highest
authorities of the then-government of Iran,’ federal prosecutor Alberto Nisman
said at a news conference here. Two years ago, 22 defendants—including four
Buenos Aires police officers—were acquitted of charges of participating in the
bombing plot. Iranian officials arranged with Hezbollah, the Shiite militant
group in Lebanon with close ties to Tehran, to organize and execute the
bombing, the prosecutor said Wednesday. Nisman said the plot was hatched in
August 1993, almost a year before the attack. . . .” (“Argentina

Concluding with the topic of Iran’s sponsorship of a Holocaust denial
conference, the program notes that the event was organized by a group of Ahmadinejad’s
advisers who are forming links with neo-Nazi groups in Europe! In this
context, it is important to remember that the Iranian fundamentalist regime has
long had contexts with Nazis—so-called “neo”-Nazis and members of the old
guard. Bank Al Taqwa director Achmed Huber has been very close to the regime in
Tehran and the Ayatollah Khomeini’s exile in France was paid for by Francois
Genoud. Huber has also served as a liaison person coordinating the activities
of Islamic fascists and both American and European neo-Nazis. (For more about
Huber, Iran, Genoud and the neo-Nazi connections, see FTR#’s 343, 352, 354, 456, 499.) “Iran’s so-called Holocaust conference this week was billed
as a chance to force the West to reconsider the historical legitimacy of
Israel. But why would the Iranians invite speakers with so little credibility
in the West, including a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard and disgraced
European scholars? That question misses the point. Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad portrays such conference participants as David Duke, the former
Klan leader, and Robert Faurisson of France, who has devoted his life to trying
to prove that Nazi gas chambers were a myth, as silenced truth-tellers whose
stories expose Western leaders as the hypocrites he considers them to be. . .
.The two-day meeting included no attempt to come to terms with the nature of
the well-documented Nazi slaughter, offering only a platform to those pursuing
the fantasy that it never happened. In addition the organizers of the
conference, a small circle around the president, have been building ties with
neo-Nazi groups in Europe. . . . [Italics are Mr. Emory’s.]” (“Iran Leader Uses Conference on Holocaust to
Push Agenda” by Michael Slackman [New York Times]; The San Francisco
