The Secret History of 911 & War of Terror

[David Guyatt]

Rumsfeld's full statement notes that the document was devised around June of that year, shaped through several meetings, then presented to the folks cited that final week before the attacks.

I'm surprised there hasn't been any comments from others about the triggering event' transcript and Ikle's contemplation of a dramatic external event' being required for a desired military expenditure buildup in Peter's thread about early war on terror speculation from 1976. To my knowledge, that transcript has never before been posted online anywhere. The meeting was full of Team B / Committee on the Present Danger folk, plus close associates of Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld, and Rumsfeld later took over the running of the same think tank that staged the conference. It's an important signpost on the route to the REBUILDING AMERICA'S DEFENCES document, with attendees close to the signatories of that statement, but I think I'm getting the impression most 9/11 researchers - and I'm talking generally, not singling out members from this board - prefer discussion of the same dozen or so topics.

I wouldn't worry too much Anthony. I think a lot of people read the forum, but few ever comment. I think many are scared to comment openly while others don't feel confident to do so. There is also the problem of people becoming "conscious" - to coin Caitlin Johnson's recent article [We Are Being Played] which, in turn coins Carl Jung's far deeper understanding. A great many people remain unconscious.

I personally considered those pages you posted about a "dramatic external event" to be historically very important. Many of us know why, given the Wolfotwitz Doctrine statement about a "catastrophic and catalysing event - like a new Pearl Harbour" and what that absolutely signified. These plans, like the COG & COOP plans were in the pipeline for an awfully long time before the triggering event (9/11) took place.

I haven't the slightest doubt why all this came to be. The elite in the US saw the writing on the wall (back in the Reagan days) that the days of the American Empire were drawing to a close and they chose to try to extend US dollar hegemony by engineering perpetual war. They knew that war always causes panic in the financial markets and that this, in turn, forces the repatriation of externally held dollars - in waves as necessary - back into the US as dollar assets to fund US Treasury debt. This keeps the dollar debt functioning by servicing it, even though it keeps increasing it at the same time --- and ultimately makes it completely unsustainable in the long term. Currently, the US national debt is $21 trillion and growing furiously.

I am certain that the day will soon (relatively speaking) arrive when the US will go belly up and the US as a state will have no choice but to repudiate their debt -- the US elite will simply bugger off to safe havens elsewhere in the world when this happens -- as more and more foreign nations switch from the US dollar and trade between themselves in their local currencies to escape future US sanctions and blackmail (so watch out America when that eventually happens).

In the meantime, the perpetual war strategy has the additional benefit of vastly enriching those few members of the US elite who are in a position to take advantage of this policy -- while encumbering the rest of the American population with a disastrous future. In effect this is a tax funded trickle up mechanism - although it races up rather than trickles.

In the meantime this whole plan was designed to usher in what Chris Hedges calls an "inverted totalitarian" form of government for the USA (that's why COG was enacted on the afternoon on 9/11). That form of government is what you need (if you're the elite) to rob people blind and keep them myopic and uninformed about the actual reality of what is happening to them - and what will happen to them when everything unravels.

In other words, it's a cross between Hitler's and Al Capone's wet dream.
