3/13 A Short History of World War III http://www.partialobserver.com/ArticlePrint.cfm?ArticleID=653 \_ He forgot the terrorist plot to flush out and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. \_ name one thing that is wrong in the above article. \_ Where to begin... for one thing, the article lists a bunch on random events and suggests that this is evidence for a coordinated war against the US with its roots in the Iranian revolution, without providing any reason as to why we should connect these events together. For another example of this sort of thing, see: http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/02_11_02_lucy.html \_ This is nothing like a World War. How is it like WWI or WWII? It is more like the War of Spanish Succession or to correctly include the religious element, The Counter-Reformation. Hey, we even have Ashcroft as Inquistor General! His babble about the 2.5% should tip you off that he is a kook. should tip you off that he is a kook. At least he mentions the Thirty Years War at the end. \_ ever seen a terrorist drink a glass of water? \_ ever seen an elephant in an apple tree? \_ ever watched Dr. Strangelove? \_ If you're not trying to genocide someone it isn't a World War quality war. It's a police action at best these days. |

www.partialobserver.com/ArticlePrint.cfm?ArticleID=653 The Invasion On November 4, 1979 an Iranian Islamic cleric, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, declared war on America when his militant Islamic followers invaded the United States by attacking the sovereign territory of the US embassy in Tehran, kidnapping 52 US diplomats and holding them hostage for 444 days. The weak and ineffectual response of President Jimmy Carter to this invasion of the United States provided the radical Islamic world with all the evidence it needed to convince itself the West was a culture in decline, and it's leading country, America, could be humiliated and defeated easily, and with impunity. America's failure to respond to the Iranian Invasion of America with a severe and decisive military action was to World War Three what Europe's reaction to Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia was to World War Two - a timid response of appeasement that encouraged imperialistic dreams of world conquest in a sociopathic mentality. The Marshaling of Troops Exhilarated and invigorated by Iran's successful Invasion of 1979, the radical Islamic world began a determined and concerted campaign of fund raising, recruitment, training, armament and mobilization that resulted in the formation of an alliance of Anti Western Islamic nations which included Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, and Afghanistan. While on the surface the titular heads of many of these national governments maintained a posture of "friendly" relations with the West, the true leaders of these nations, the ruling tribal and theocratic oligarchs, quietly kept their ambitious war plans and preparations proceeding apace, many with the express knowledge, funding and consent of the nominal heads of the national governments. The Mobilization In the two decades that followed the Invasion of America, the Islamic world, inspired by the Iranian example, carried out an expansionist campaign of radicalization, mobilization, and infiltration that placed terrorist operatives throughout the Western world. Like the two previous World Wars the Third World War soon spread across many theatres of conflict and involved many participants. Fierce and bloody battles, designed to destroy legitimate secular governments and replace them with Islamic states, soon erupted in Russia, India, China, the Balkans, the Philippines, Indonesia, Africa, and Southeast Asia; Each of these fronts in the War was supported in varying degrees by the efforts of the Anti West Islamic Alliance. The Western Campaign After the Invasion of US territory by Iran in 1979, the Western campaign of the Islamic Wars proceeded cautiously, gradually growing in boldness with each new attack. America and the West mistakenly ignored these attacks, or treated them as minor skirmishes of no great significance. Even a cursory review of only some of the more notable events in the escalating war against the West, and it's interests, demonstrates the ever increasing boldness, sophistication, scale and coordination of the radical Islamic forces. While a complete and comprehensive list of all the attacks made by the Islamic forces in World War Three is well beyond the scope of this article, a partial listing of only some of the attacks that were most noticeable to the West is nevertheless instructive. Over 3100 Americans were killed, * The first of 5 deaths and 18 infections from a well coordinated Anthrax attack on the United States, initiated through the US mails using letters containing anti American Islamic messages, occurred on October 5, 2001, * An Islamic suicide bomber attempted to explode a shoe bomb aboard an American Airlines flight en route to Miami on December 22, 2001. Simultaneous with these attacks, which received greater notice in the Western media, radical Islamic groups coordinated and initiated even bloodier battles in Russia, India, the Balkans, and the Philippines. The Counter Attack In the 21st year of World War Three America finally arose from it's torpor and initiated a serious response to two decades of radical Islamic warfare. After suffering the devastating attacks of September 11, 2001, on October 7, 2001 America launched a meaningful counter attack against the radical Islamic forces and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Like the Allied landing in Sicily in World War Two, the battle of Afghanistan provided America with it's first landing on enemy territory in World War Three. America is now in the 23nd year of World War Three and Iraq is but one more battle in this War. Like Russia during World War II, first an ally of Germany with the signing of the Non Aggression Pact, then an enemy of Germany when Hitler opened the second front attacking Russia, Iraq, in reverse, started first as an enemy of the forces of radical Islam, and now, changing course, has become a protected and valued ally of the Alliance of Anti Western Islamic nations. There is nothing unusual or unprecedented in this opportunistic changing of sides for political convenience, particularly when Iraq has chemical and biological weapons and nuclear scientific knowledge that the Anti West Islamic Alliance would dearly love to access. As Afghanistan was to World War Three what Sicily was to World War Two, so now Iraq is to World War Three what Normandy was to World War Two - the beginning of a second major offensive designed to exterminate the forces of Totalitarianism. This is why the Alliance of Anti Western Islamic Nations, who harbor and support the radical Islamic jihadist groups, are now so opposed to America establishing a beachhead in the region with an Iraqi Invasion. Underestimating the Enemy History will look back and determine that the West failed to recognize the danger posed by radical Islam by repeatedly ignoring and underestimating the size and scope of the forces aligned against it. Well orchestrated and ever increasing sophisticated attacks were not only repeatedly countered by being mildly deplored, but virtually ignored; |

While in a Dubai hospital receiving treatment for a chronic kidney infection last July, Osama bin Laden met with a top CIA official -- presumably the chief of station. Bin Laden was eligible for execution according to a 2000 intelligence finding issued by President Bill Clinton before leaving office in January. Yet on July 14, 2001 he was allowed to leave Dubai on a private jet, and there were no Navy fighters waiting to force him down. In 1985 Oliver North -- the only member of the Reagan-Bush years who doesn't appear to have a hand in the current war -- sent the Navy and commandos after terrorists on the cruise ship Achille Lauro. A more complete timeline listing crucial events both before and after the Sept. It also makes clear that the events that have taken place since Sept. June 19, 2002 -- As the revelations of Bush Administration foreknowledge have progressed from silence, to trickle, to cascade, the question has now changed from forcing the evidence into the open into one of forcing both the media and the people to avoid denying this information in the hopes that their desire for a sense of "normalcy" can be fulfilled. As many of us have known for years, normalcy went out the window forever when the first plane hit the tower. And what has been revealed will not be resolved with an expensive fact-finding commission, a few firing, or even an impeachment proceeding. What is needed in America -- and in the global economic system -- is an overhaul, not a tune up. The oil companies further commit to future direct investments in Kazakhstan of $35 billion. Not being willing to pay exorbitant prices to Russia to use Russian pipelines, the major oil companies have no way to recoup their investments. Source: "The Price of Oil" by Seymour Hersh, The New Yorker, July 9, 2001 - The Asia Times, "The Roving Eye Part I Jan. January 1995 - Philippine police investigating a possible attack on the Pope uncover plans for Operation Bojinka, connected to World Trade Center (WTC) bomber Ramsi Youssef. Parts of the plan call for crashing hijacked airliners into civilian targets. Details of the plan are disclosed in Youssef's 1997 trial for the 1993 WTC bombing. Subsequent reports will indicate that the negotiations failed, allegedly because the Taliban wanted too much money. Maresca -- later to become a special ambassador to Afghanistan -- testifies before the House that until a single, unified, friendly government is in place in Afghanistan, the trans-Afghani pipeline needed to monetize the oil will not be built. A more detailed list of known terrorists is offered to Saudi intelligence in August 2001 and refused. April 1999 - Enron with a $3 billion investment to build an electrical generating plant at Dabhol, India loses access to plentiful LNG supplies from Qatar to fuel the plant. Its only remaining option to make the investment profitable is a trans-Afghani gas pipeline to be built by Unocal from Turkmenistan that would terminate near the Indian border at the city of Multan. While there he meets privately with the Saudi royal family and the bin Laden family. March 2000 - An FBI agent, reportedly angry over a glitch in Carnivore that has somehow mixed innocent non-targeted emails with those belonging to Al Qaeda, destroys all of the FBI's Denver-based intercepts of bin Laden's colleagues in a terrorist investigation. August 2000 -- Suspected Al Qaeda operatives wiretapped by Italian police made apparent references to plans for major attacks involving airports, airplanes and the United States according to transcripts obtained by the Los Angeles Times. January 2001 - The Bush Administration orders the FBI and intelligence agencies to "back off" investigations involving the bin Laden family, including two of Osama bin Laden's relatives (Abdullah and Omar) who were living in Falls Church, Va. This followed previous orders dating back to 1996 that frustrated efforts to investigate the bin Laden family. An unnamed CIA spokesman said the other sources' claims that the agency knew anything about Jarrah before Sept. Even if this indicates that bin Laden changed systems in February, it does not mesh with the fact that the government insists that the attacks had been planned for years. May 2001 - Secretary of State Colin Powell gives $43 million in aid to the Taliban regime, purportedly to assist hungry farmers who are starving since the destruction of their opium crop in January on orders of the Taliban regime. May 2001 - Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, a career covert operative and former Navy Seal, travels to India on a publicized tour, while CIA Director George Tenet makes a quiet visit to Pakistan to meet with Pakistani leader Gen. Armitage has long and deep Pakistani intelligence connections. It would be reasonable to assume that while in Islamabad, Tenet, in what was described as "an unusually long meeting," also met with his Pakistani counterpart, Lt. The UNDCP report also revealed half of the drugs in that 80 percent traveled through Central Asia. A study by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace published in March 2000 said Russian soldiers headquartered in Tajikistan were suspected of helping drug traffickers by providing them with transportation facilities. This was confirmed by a Russian intelligence officer who told the Moscow News weekly, "You can come to an arrangement with custom officials so that the search of military transport planes remains purely formal. July 2001 - FBI agents in Arizona write a memorandum warning about suspicious activities involving a group of Middle Eastern men taking flight training lessons in Phoenix. The memorandum specifically mentions Osama bin Laden and warns of connections to terrorist activities. Rangers were also training special troops in Kyrgyzstan. Ahmad (see above) orders an aide to wire transfer $100,000 to Mohammed Atta who was, according to the FBI, the lead terrorist in the suicide hijackings. Ahmad recently resigned after the transfer was disclosed in India and confirmed by the FBI. The individual who makes the wire transfer at Ahmad's direction is Ahmad Umar Sheik, the lead suspect in the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Secret Service would not reveal any further information. To make doubly sure the message got through it was passed through an Arab intermediary to a German intelligence agent.
