Very good article Bill - and great research aids and analysis Linda. Military men study old battles, strategies, wars and such in their War Colleges. They study things that have been done and repeated [in varients] since Ancient Rome and before. They learn what works and what does not and repeat the lessons learned. In Unconventional Warfare schools [such as thousands of covertops types have attended over the decades] they study the same as above plus the history of assassinations, covert ops and how to make them false-flag, leading and misleading the opponent and even those to be used in an operation, propaganda and disinformation, disguise, destruction of evidence and witnesses and on and on. It should come as no surprise that things repeat (with variations). It is seeing precisely these patterns that tips-off a good researcher. It is also no surprise that the same people are interconnected in many operations often and with persons they have worked with (or who worked with persons they have worked with, etc.) before. Peter Dale Scott's work, Joan Mellen's work and that of others on some similar patterns between Dallas and 911 - and the myriad of work on the similarities, parallels, even operlap of many [to most] covert ops are to be applauded. The problem that remains is that most in society do not read this, don't want to know it, and are fed counter-mythology [read: propaganda] to counter this sad and malignant historical reality. Just because we can't order a textbook in unconventional warfare 'tradecraft' from amazon, doesn't mean they don't exist, and are not used and taught from. We need our own Peace, Justice, REAL History 'schools' via internet, meetings, universities, elsewhere. This kind of nonsense has gone on far too long and gotten humankind to where we are today - hanging from the abyss by our fingernails. We have the analysis - do we have the courage to really take on the 'BEAST'? I'm preaching to the choir here, but ask this theoretically and to all who care about justice, accountability, peace and democracy.
