Dean Henderson: Big Oil & Their Bankers in the Persian Gulf: Chapter 2 -- Part III -- The Fascist Iron Circle

The Fascist Iron Circle

Posted on 08/17/2016 | 9 Comments

(Excerpted from Chapter 2: Hong Kong Shanghaied: Big Oil & Their Bankers…)`

While Vancouver served as the entry point for Hong Kong heroin into North America, large quantities of smack were also shipped to the southern cone of South America, where right-wing CIA death squads and Italian P-2 Freemasons worked in tandem to organize fascist political movements to snuff out leftist revolutionary groups. Here, too, there were key banks that supervised the Latin dance.

One was the Italian Banco Ambrosiano, financier of the Iranian oil for arms swap that freed the US hostages and a favorite conduit for Turkish Gray Wolves heroin proceeds derived from the Shah’s Iranian poppy fields.  Ambrosiano was run by Michele Sindona, who was a go-between in the CIA’s cozy relationship with the Italian P-2 fascist Freemasonry movement and a power broker in the Catholic Church.

In 1969 Sindona had been the financial adviser to Pope Paul VI and the Vatican Bank became Banco Ambrosiano’s biggest shareholder.  The Vatican Bank also owned a string of ten Panamanian shell companies, which it used to fund its political forays in Latin America.  Banco Ambrosiano would borrow money in the unregulated Eurodollar markets in London and use those secret funds to finance P-2 operations throughout the southern cone of South America.  P-2 Freemason activities in South America coincided with the opening of the Hong Kong heroin pipeline to Argentina, Chile and Bolivia.

P-2 funded fascist political movements such as Patria y Libertad in Chile, which the CIA bankrolled via Ted Shackley’s Trak II program against democratically-elected Chilean President Salvador Allende.  Allende had threatened to nationalize Anaconda and Kennecott copper mines after taking office in 1972, so these companies along with ITT convinced US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that Allende had to go.

Kissinger, a long-time Rockefeller lieutenant and powerful member of the Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations, has recently been targeted for extradition by Chile to stand trial for his role in the Allende coup and the terror reign of General Augusto Pinochet which followed.  The US State Department has not cooperated.

Lavrov: US says brought apologies to Syrians for airstrike in Deir ez-Zor

By Jim W. Dean, Managing Editor on September 26, 2016

… from  TASS,  Moscow

There were about 15 Syrian soldiers executed. We killed more, maybe by negligence, maybe not

[ Editor’s Note: This apology was better than nothing. But that said, the only other option was to admit it was on purpose to get Damascus to call off the ceasefire to try to cover up the US not being able to control its Jihadis.

The half-hearted apology went through the Russians because, even in this situation, the US would not speak to Damascus directly. If it had been sincere, there would have been an offer of compensation to the families of the dead and wounded, but no…the great United States and Pentagon would not do that.

They just walked away, as they usually do from their big mistakes. Someone else ALWAYS pays. If this had happened to US forces, even with a mistake, we would have seen a totally different attitude. Has anyone counted the Syrian terror attacks on the US? The count is zero. 

How about the Iranians? They draw a zip, as do the Russians and the Chinese. Gosh, what kind of threat can they be, when the US and West have been using proxy terrorists for years now, giving others the right to use it against us, but they don’t. Imagine that. There must be something different about them… Jim W. Dean ]

Jim W. Dean -- Germany Should Offer Russia Concrete Cooperation or ‘Balance Will Be Lost’

Germany Should Offer Russia Concrete Cooperation or ‘Balance Will Be Lost’

By Jim W. Dean, Managing Editor on August 26, 2016

Germany’s FM Steinmeier

… from Sputnik News,  Moscow

Many think NATO has become an instigator or conflict for its own agenda

[ Editor’s Note: These are hopeful words from Mr. Steinmeier, as he is speaking for the German government, but not for NATO. Military brass often does not like balance, preferring to have superiority.

Disarmament is even worse because it means fewer promotions and less opportunity for the high-paying defense contractor retirement jobs. War pays well, where peace does not for the career soldier.

Steinmeier’s words could be an “all talk and no action” ploy. But he is smart enough to understand that, if not for the breaching of the NATO agreement to not enroll the East European countries, Russia’s military would not have had its version of the Manhattan Project to get it into a defensible position against NATO’s march east.

China has recently proposed a military alliance with Russia, something that was unthinkable ten years ago. The only catalyst for that change has been NATO aggression and threat hype, where General Breedlove is the mascot of that half-baked ploy.

We have other news today — rumbles that Western leaders are tired of the Ukraine oligarchs looting the foreign funding going into Ukraine. Vanishing money rarely has a ripple effect in the economy, other that more waves of poverty.

Ankara, Moscow building mechanism on Syria – YouTube

by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor   … with Press TV, Tehran

Can Erdogan pull his feet out of the Syrian quicksand?

[ Note: Nobody we know saw the light-speed improvement in Turkey’s relations with Russia, while those with the US, NATO and EU were going to hell in a handbasket. Putin had already waived the green flag to start Russian tourism back up, and this week, the Turkish Stream pipeline was approved to start construction as soon as possible… to get the jobs and subcontracts flowing.

Erdogan is playing hardball with the US, claiming it has to choose between Turkey and Mr. Gulen, and that is talking some “tough turkey” indeed. But the point will come where the world gets tired of the repetition of the coup responsibility claims with no public proof released. If Erdogan strings the game out too long, he could see it boomerang on him.

The big deal in these current moves is Saudi Arabia watching Moscow get a pipeline flowing with 16-billion cubic feet of gas to Europe that it had hoped to do with Qatar and its big gas fields, through the Northern Syria route, which is what the battle for Northern Syria  is all about — Pipeline Wars 101.

Ukrainian president puts troops on alert near Crimea, in Donbass amid Kiev-Moscow tensions

… by  Press TV,  Tehran

Porky inspecting the boots

[ Editor’s Note: Mr. Poroshenko seems to be challenging me on my one of my favorite quips, “You just can’t make this stuff up”, by putting on a worldwide display that he certainly can, with his new Russian threat hoax. If he keeps this up, he will be the hands-down winner of being the most “Pretend-a-President” in current history.

One would think his staff would warn him that he has gone to the “Russian threat well” so many times before, there is nothing left to get out of it. What we are seeing here is the danger of delusional national leaders, who really think facts on the ground can be created by the words that come out of the mouths of totally incompetent leaders.

In a better world, we would have a Ukrainian parliament that would remove a leader like this, not for temporary insanity but the permanent version. I have long been a believer that some of the biggest national security risks for a growing number of countries comes from their own corrupt and delusional leadership, not only in politics but their military and business communities.

Frankly I think we are getting to the point of needing to have Ukraine disarmed, like you would not let children play with guns. We are looking at childish behavior here, against a hopeless target, Russia, that never acts that way or goes for the bait that Porky is putting on the table.

Jim W. Dean -- Des forces spéciales Allemandes et Françaises en Syrie : « un acte d’agression »

Des forces spéciales Allemandes et Françaises en Syrie : « un acte d’agression »

Par Jim W. Dean, rédacteur en chef, le 15 juin 2016

…de Press TV, Téhéran

Le jeu de chaises musicales du gotha des Forces Spéciales continue en Syrie

 Remarque de l’éditeur : Cette histoire est à la fois ancienne et nouvelle. Les rapports sur la présence de Forces Spéciales Américaines et Britanniques sont bien connus, mais ceux sur les Français et les Allemands le sont moins.

En règle générale, les anciennes puissances coloniales sont toujours présentes dans les zones de conflit où elles ont des intérêts sur place, et se préoccupent peu de ne pas y avoir été invitées.

Les Allemands ont nié avoir leurs troupes sur le terrain, mais de telles dénégations sont de la routine, parce qu’en tant que pays membres des Nations Unies, ce type d’agissements violeraient de nombreux accords internationaux. Les Nations Unies ont tendance à ne pas insister sur ce phénomène problématique, ce qui montre à quel point l’ONU met des œillères sur le fait que des Etats membres puissent énumérer et choisir quels accords ils respecteront.

Les membres des Opérations Spéciales clandestines sont d’abord chargés de la collecte du renseignement, par des troupes au sol permettant de tenir leurs pays respectifs informés de la véritable situation sur le terrain. Là où il y a une multitude de factions combattantes, il est difficile d’évaluer une politique cohérente lorsque ce qui se passe vraiment ressemble à un jeu de devinettes.

Uri Avnery – Israel’s stock continues to plummet across the world

Uri Avnery – Israel’s stock continues to plummet across the world

A resolution here, a boycott there, a condemnation, a demonstration

…by  Uri Avnery, with Gush Shalom

Uri has been attacked a number of times for his outspoken views

[ Editor’s note: Uri gives us another one of his internal Israeli political analyses that he is so well known for due to his having been on the scene during his 90+ years, and still going like the Energizer Bunny. It’s best to read through the second half of his article more carefully, which is where he gets down to brass tacks.

Israeli politics is not really politics. It is gang warfare, where you do anything you possibly can to win, and moral constraints are considered a delusion for idiots.

The current case involves the growing groundswell in Europe to end the long-running Zionist subjugation of the Palestinians. The French have taken the lead with their proposed Paris peace conference, and the wily Likuds have made a flanking move for Egypt having a “regional peace plan”.

This is a delightful exposé on Netanyahu and the American, Dore Gold, who works for the Israelis now, or maybe he always did. Academic class credits on the Mideast and especially Israel should have to include some of Uri’s gems, as he can slice and dice Israeli phonies better than anyone I have seen, and not be called an anti-semite.

So please enjoy this delightful piece, as we hope Uri lives a long time to keep these coming… Jim W. Dean ]

Abba Eban

Once I heard the following story from the then Swedish ambassador in Paris:

“In 1947, when the UN was discussing the plan to partition Palestine, I was a member of the sub-committee dealing with Jerusalem. One day, the Jews sent a new representative. His name was Abba Eban. He spoke beautiful English, much better than the British or US members of the committee. He talked for about half an hour, and at the end there was not one person in the room who did not hate his guts.”

Dollars for the Apocalypse

The Founding Fathers would have been too smart to be in NATO

 by Phil Butler,  …. with New Eastern Outlook,  Moscow

Did we not learn anything from the Iran nuke threat hoax?

[ Editor’s note: The replacement for the Iranian nuclear weapons hoax is rolling out as I had predicted.

Russia won that prize, with NATO moving up to its borders with forces on hand; knowing that Russia would have to counter with additional border forces, after which the devils in the Pentagon would claim as “proof” of Russia’s aggressive intent to set the stage for increased “aggression” spending by the Pentagon.

But we are not that stupid… some of us, anyway. But that might not bother Mr. Ashton Carter, because even the most honest Congressman we have loves defense spending in his state and district, and would buy any justification put forward by the Pentagon scammers.

The veteran organizations generally surrender when it comes to standing up to any of this, with the Viet Nam vets entering the ranks of getting tired out from fighting the system. Too many have the VA spending as number one, and then any additional spending on the military as always being a good thing. The term “watchdog” is only viewed in its canine context. I had an older VT reader tell me today of an American Legion chapter having to offer free drinks and music with dinner to retain members.

Syrians cut off main Daesh road to Turkey

Syrians cut off main Daesh road to Turkey

… from  Press TV,  Tehran

Rami Abdulrahman – the one man show that knows everything

[ Editor’s Note: This is a bit of a strange story for Press TV, what is basically a Kurdish force being referred to as Syrian, due to the name they conveniently took. And we have the Syrian Observatory as the source, the CIA front, and then no mention of the US Special Forces widely published to be involved, and now French Special Forces.

The reporting is turning into a circus, and at this stage of the game that is rarely an accident… but where confusion has been ordered up by someone wanting the public to stop following the war because it is too hard to follow.

If the Observatory is being used here, that means someone is introducing that when Kurds are expanding the territory they control stating that they are Syrians, but they are really part of the dismemberment  drive during the peacetalks to carve Syria up with the Kurds in Syrian sheeps’ clothing. They aren’t fighting for Syria, but for their own state, despite the absence of long roots there.

Russia to give strongest air support to Syrian army in Aleppo area – Lavrov

By Jim W. Dean, Managing Editor on June 6, 2016

… from  Russia Today,  Moscow

Dr. Barakat (r) with VT at the Damascus Counter Terrorism Conference, Dec. 2014

[ Editor’s Note: The pea and shell game continues with the Syria ceasefire. VT ran the very passionate letter from Dr. Barakat addressing how the momentum against the terrorist factions was lost when their supply lines were re-established due to the lull in the bombing, which many view as throwing away a big portion of the initial accomplishments.

Here we have a day later Mr. Lavrov sending a very public message to pump up the worried spirits of the Syrian people that the war could continue on and on.

We had assumed that the Russians would not let the jihadis push the Syrian Army out of the Aleppo area, but Lavrov did not answer the key question of why the supply columns are not being bombed to smithereens.

We seem to be seeing a stand down in the use of Russian and US air power along the Syrian border, virtually waving a green flag to Erdogan to go ahead and set up his buffer zone, a de facto one. But this is now going to complicate any political talks that get started, endangering even more of what might be a long shot peace process as it is.

Jim W. Dean -- Cracks Appear in EU Unity on Russian Sanctions

Cracks Appear in EU Unity on Russian Sanctions

Column: Politics

Region: Europe

No man undertakes a trade he has not learned, even the meanest; yet everyone thinks himself sufficiently qualified for the hardest of all trades, that of government. ~ Socrates

We are having one heck of a rollercoaster ride on the EU’s upcoming Russian sanctions renewal in July. The Russophobes, especially the Ukrainians, have predictably kept up their screams for “more, more”, while the voices of moderation call for an end to, or at least an easing of sanctions.

The G-7 countries cast their votes early, a unanimous call for a renewal; and the EU Council was quick to follow, with ex-Polish President Donald Tusk, a hardcore Russophobe, making the announcement. But there are growing opposition rumbles being heard across Europe, led by some of the newer East European member countries who feel that the EU got suckered by US pressure for sanctions while the US only bears 10% of the lost business. EU exports of agricultural products were off 29% in the past year, equivalent to 4.4 billion Euros and an estimated 130,000 lost jobs.

A younger Sergei Lavrov, swimming with glasses on

[ Editor’s Note: Lavrov takes the stage as the grand diplomatic professor at the opening of the Diplomatic Club in Moscow this week. I have to salute his optimism, as I am more of a cynic than he is. What talented diplomats construct, evil and corrupt politicians and their colleagues in Intelligence and even the military can undo.

But he is right to focus on what was accomplished, and what we avoided because wise diplomats steered their ships of state away from the rocks, at least some of the time. Avoiding some disasters is better than none at all.

Uri Avnery – Traces of Nazism in Israel Confirmed?

 Uri Avnery –Traces of Nazism in Israel Confirmed?

The storming of the Temple

…by  Uri Avnery, with Gush Shalom

Uri had political enemies all his life

[ Editor’s note: Well, finally Uri is getting yet another taste of the Zionist bitter fruit. But he still does not get it. While Liberal Israelis have always fought for power with the conservatives, Uri has always felt that the Holocaust bound them together.

And the answer to that is both yes and no. While both sides are firm believers in the religion of Jewish victim supremacy, Uri does not feel that gives him the right to inflict Nazi treatment on others. He has always fought for Palestinian rights and done so at great risk.

But Netanyahu on the other hand is a member of an inner tribe of Judaism where the holocaust is used as a cover to “do unto others before they do it unto you”, and makes no apologies.

But here comes this serving Israeli general to walk the career plank at a major event talk, where he compared the things that happened to bring the Nazis to power to what has happened in Israel, and the firestorm was instantaneous.

Uri comes to the general’s defense, actually as a witness to what happened in the Reichstag when he was a young boy, and he has had a front row seat for what the Palestinians got from the “chosen ones”.

Please notice that as always, US media never touched this story when it happened, as they self censor all major internal criticism battles in Israel because they do not want goyim to get the crazy idea that if Jews can criticize Jews, that mere goyim can also criticize them.

The Jewish Lobby here is always waiting in the wings to teach people what the penalties for that kind of thinking are. So they have a little streak of totalitarian Nazism running through them also, in that they appoint to themselves the right to destroy people who disagree with them, and they have done so many times.

Uri can tell you the rest, as Israeli internal politics is his specialty… Jim W. Dean ]

Israeli General Ya’ir Golan – now this is a mensch

“PLEASE DON’T write about Ya’ir Golan!” a friend begged me, “Anything a leftist like you writes will only harm him!” So I abstained for some weeks. But I can’t keep quiet any longer.

General Ya’ir Golan, the deputy Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, made a speech on Holocaust Memorial Day. Wearing his uniform, he read a prepared, well-considered text that triggered an uproar which has not yet died down.

Dozens of articles have been published in its wake, some condemning him, some lauding him. Seems that nobody could stay indifferent.

The main sentence was:

“If there is something that frightens me about the memories of the Holocaust, it is the knowledge of the awful processes which happened in Europe in general, and in Germany in particular, 70, 80, 90 years ago, and finding traces of them here in our midst, today, in 2016.”

All hell broke loose. What!!! Traces of Nazism in Israel? A resemblance between what the Nazis did to us with what we are doing to the Palestinians?
