UNDERSTANDING SATANIC ORANGE ORDER CHILD SACRIFICE

Orangemen are a peculiar, primordial, phenomena of history, that includes anger, hatred, sectarianism, racial supremacy, colonialism, evil rituals, controversy and pain.Founded in County Armagh, it started as a Protestant organization, based predominantly in British Occupied Ireland, it eventually had lodges throughout the British Commonwealth, Canada and in the United States.
The Orange Order originates from a seventeenth century battle of supremacy between Protestantism and Catholicism.William of Orange, originally of the Netherlands, led the fight against Catholic King James at the Battle of the Boyne.

The Orange Order is best known for holding parades, called the Orange Walk, mainly in Ulster, Scotland and Canada. The parades take place through a very long, heated, inflammatory marching season, asserting white Protestant, British, racial supremacy, climaxing on the 12th of July. Its origin in Armagh, was a microcosm of late 18th Century Ireland, with three major religious denominations represented there, in roughly equal proportion, a Catholic majority in the poorer south, an Episcopalian majority in the north, and Presbyterians more numerous across the middle.
Each group had a corresponding ethnic identity, Irish-Catholic, Scots-Presbyterian and English-Episcopalian. This  finely balanced religious demography, accounts for persistent sectarian tensions there, which eventually spread elsewhere.

Because of their numbers, native Irish Catholics appeared threatening to their British planted Protestant neighbours, while in counties Antrim and Down Catholics were a clear minority. The Presbyterian farmers of Antrim and Down at one stage, embraced the union of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter in the United Irishmen of Presbyterian origin. In Armagh it was different. When the Masonic lodges of Antrim, Down, Derry and Tyrone endorsed parliamentary reform in the winter of 1792-3, the Armagh masons condemned them. Reform was denounced, as it was too similar to a campaign at that time for Catholic emancipation, being too close for comfort for some,

Orange Lodge No 1 was created, following a violent clash, between armed Protestant bands and Catholic Defenders, at a crossroads village, named the Diamond, beside the village of Loughgall. There were 30 Catholic Defenders killed on that Monday, 21 September 1795, while thee no Protestant fatalities.The Battle of the Diamond was one of the most bloody, in a sequence of skirmishes, between Protestant Peep O' Day Boys and Catholic Defenders, stretching back to the mid-1780s. The ”Battle of the Diamond” only lasted fifteen minutes, centered in Dan Winter”s Bar, which was located at the Diamond crossroads. It resulted in Winter”s premises being burnt to the ground by the Catholics,  known as ”the Defenders”. The public house was the focus of the attack as it was the gathering house for the Protestant militia, the Peep O Day Boys.

Then the local gentry families, such as the Blackers and the Verners, got involved with the Orange Order and these men of property effected a take-over within 18 months, culminating in the establishment of a Grand National Lodge boasting several peers and prominent Protestant ultras, in Dublin in 1798.These English gentry used the Order as vehicle to divide nd conquer the ordianry Irish, reasserting leadership with that division, over a volatile tenantry. Generals Lake and Knox harnessed the Orangemen and used them, as a counter-insurgency force, during a period of class crisis much the same as is happening today in British Occupied Ireland.

Over 2,000 Orangemen marched on the first 12 July commemoration at Lurgan-Portadown in 1796, with estimates for the 1797 membership census, rising to 80,000, many of whom were also  enrolled, in the British Government's sponsored YeomanryThe Orange Order of today draws members from all classes of Protestant society in Ireland. Its members are required to give their allegiance to the principles of Protestantism. The Orange Order is Loyalist, strongly supporting the Monarchy of England over Ireland, which is naturally a problem for Irish people. Politically, the Orange Order pulls all the strings of puppet  Unionist politicians to this day, passionately promoting a Union with Great Britain, against the wishes of the vast majority of the Irish people.

The Orange Order seeks to uphold the rule and ascendancy of a Protestant monarch in Ireland. Its membership criteria, is that an applicant be Protestant. The order is organized in what are called, 'lodges'. Lodges, created when members wish to set them up, with many linked to British military postings, worldwide. At the heart of the Orange Order is the right to parade anywhere, even when those parades standing for a Protestant Monarchy supremacy in Ireland, causes considerable offence. Unionist Members of Parliament are drawn from the ranks of the loyal orders. Almost every minister in the British Occupied Ireland government from 1921 until the imposition of Direct Rule in 1972 belonged to the Orange Order. The Orange Order has faced considerable scrutiny from everyone, except the British authorities, with regards to most members displaying an ambiguous or often dual membership or relationship, towards loyalist paramilitary sectarian murderers and their activities.

Early in the 1992, loyalist gunmen killed five Catholics, who were in a betting shop on Ormeau Road in Belfast. Months later, a parade along the road sparked fury when some of the Orangemen present made “five-nil” hand gestures as they passed the murder scene, This being just one example of the norm, Their initial decision to reject the Good Friday Agreement placed the organization closer to the DUP, rather than the more moderate, pro-agreement Ulster Unionists, with many members asserting, that the Orange order had become far too political and sectarian.

The routes of Orange Order marches, take on a symbolic meaning for communities. The annual stand-offs over routes, put the organization at loggerheads with most law abiding Irish communities. The Orange Order, however, has accused the native Irish of bad faith but in 2000, one senior figure, said that the Orange Order was losing moderate members, because it was increasingly dominated by 'ignorance and malevolence'.Images of Orange regalia, with loyalist paramilitary sectarian murderers in the background, are causing the Order big problems, he said. When leading, loyalist paramilitary, Johnny Adair, turned up at protests, it did little to dispel accusations from Catholic critics, that the organization was now essentially paramilitary.

The secret Satanic spirituality of the Orange Order is now also under further scrutiny.Their brands of Satanism, whether theistic or LaVeyan being highly materialistic and carnal, recognizing the humans as animal and encouraging the most dark primal tendencies is disturbing for many. The welfare and happiness in their selfishness comes first, ahead of the welfare of others. While the Order publicly may condemn violence, it does however in many cases venerate basic natural instincts, that are often perverse, while placing a strong focus on survival, power, self-indulgence, and materialism, taking an elitist stance on stupidity and evil in the process.

The nucleus of their evolving, ruling class, religious views are definitely have a political and economic rationale, for elitist criminality. Many of the most brutal human endeavors in Ireland have been underpinned by the Orange Order form of religious zealotry and bigotry. In the mind of the modern Loyalist bigot the Orange Order, provides spiritual legitimacy for what otherwise is, to say the least morally questionable behaviour.


The secret Orange Order has particularly of late, evolved into practicing the secret evils of Freemasonry. It is also practicing the Masonry’s Satanism along with ancient pagan mystery cults, that includes the common practice of human child sacrifice. The inner doctrines of its secret societies provide a theological foundation for Judea/Christian heresies that enable such, while their selective use of Kabbalism and Gnosticism are also using ,selective “scientific” legitimacy, mixed with Gnostic myth, for all sorts of sadistic, evil ceremonies . As evolutionary, progressive, thought grow, variants of their Satanism often in the form of secular humanism serve to disinform. The rise of several cults as exemplified by the Tara group and the Shankill Butchers being just better known examples  of their various mystical sects and Irish counterculture. The metastasis of Orange Order thinking, continues politically in warped Unionism to this very day.

NAZI ULSTER LOYALISTS BOMB PEACE PROCESS AGAIN

Alliance Party Office Bombed by Loyalists Second Time in 24 Hours

Naomi Long said she would not be bullied by the recent Loyalist attacks on their premises. 

For the second time in 24 hours an office belonging to Belfast's cross-community Alliance party has been attacked by Loyalists.

The centrist Alliance party has come under sustained attack from loyalists for voting to restrict the flying of the sectarian loyalists flag over Belfast city hall.

Alliance's east Belfast MP, Naomi Long, said: "Another day, another fascist attack on our office. Martin McGuinness, claims the Loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force ARE behind the attacks on the Alliance party.

"The activities of Loyalists in east Belfast over the course of the last two years have been particularly disgraceful, criminality of the worst kind, he said. "The response of unionist leaders to the activity of these people has been inadequate and I also think the response of the police has been inadequate."

Historical loyalism

18th century North America

See also: Loyalist (American Revolution) and United Empire Loyalist

In North America, the term loyalist characterised colonists who rejected the American Revolution in favour of remaining within the empire. American loyalists included royal officials, Anglican clergymen, wealthy merchants with ties to London, demobilised British soldiers, and recent arrivals (especially from Scotland), as well as many ordinary colonists. Colonists with loyalist sympathies accounted for an estimated 20% to 30% of the white colonial population of the day, compared with those described as "Patriots", who accounted for about 40% of the population. This high level of political polarisation leads some historians to believe that the American Revolution was as much a civil war as it was a war of independence from the British Crown.^[1][2][3]

British military strategy during the American Revolution relied on mobilising loyalist soldiers throughout the Thirteen Colonies. Throughout the war, the British military formed over 100^[4] loyalist militia regiments. The rebels used tactics such as property confiscation to suppress loyalism and drive loyalists out of major colonial towns.^[5] After the war, approximately 80% of the Loyalists stayed in the new United States, and adapted to the new conditions and changes of a republic. However, over 70,000 Loyalists sought refuge elsewhere in Lower Canada, Quebec (divided in 1791 into what is now Quebec andOntario), the Maritime provinces, Jamaica, the Bahamas and in the United Kingdom often with financial help from the Crown. Most of those who did not leave for London withGeneral Cornwallis' Army following his defeat and surrender at the Siege of Yorktown in October 1781, re-settled in the British North American Provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia in present-day Canada. This migration also included Native American loyalists such as Mohawk leader Joseph Brant, the "Black Loyalists" – former slaves who had joined the British cause in exchange for their freedom, and Anabaptist loyalists (Mennonites).^[6][7]These Loyalists are generally regarded as the founders of modern English-speaking Canada, and many of their descendants still identify themselves with the nominal hereditary title "UEL" (United Empire Loyalist) today.

18th century Ireland

The term loyalist was first used in Irish politics in the 1790s to refer to Protestant British settlers in Ireland who opposed Catholic Emancipation and Irish independence from Great Britain.^[8] Prominent Irish loyalists included John Foster, John Fitzgibbon and John Beresford. In the subsequent Irish Rebellion of 1798, the term ultra loyalist was used to describe those who were opposed to the United Irishmen, who were in support of an independent Irish Republic. In 1795, Ulster loyalists founded the Orange Order and organised the Yeoman Militia, which helped to put down the rebellion. Some loyalists, such as Richard Musgrave, considered the rebellion a Catholic plot to drive Protestant colonists out of Ireland.^[8]

England and Wales

During the early 19th century, nearly every English and Welsh county formed a Loyalist Association of Workers in an effort to counter a perceived threat from radical societies.^[9]The first such association was founded in Westminster on 20 November 1792.

Australia

The Sydney and Parramatta Loyalist Associations, with approximately 50 members each, were formed in 1804 to counter radical societies in those counties, and subsequently helped to put down the Castle Hill convict rebellion later that year.^[10][11]

Modern loyalism

Northern Ireland

Main article: Ulster loyalism

This section needs additional citations for verification.Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2011)

Generally, the term loyalist in Northern Ireland is typified by a militant opposition to Irish republicanism, and also often to Roman Catholicism. It stresses Ulster Protestant identity and community with its own folk heroes and events, such as the misfortunes and bravery of the 36th (Ulster) Division during World War I and the activities of the Orange Order. An Ulster loyalist is most commonly a unionist who strongly favours the political union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, although some may also support an independent Northern Ireland.^[12] In recent times, the term has been used to refer to several loyalist paramilitary groups, such as the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), Ulster Volunteer Force(UVF) and the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF).

Although Irish loyalists have claimed to speak on behalf of their communities and the unionist community in general, electoral results tend to suggest that their support is minimal and exclusively based in the urban working class. The Progressive Unionist Party, a pro-Belfast Agreement loyalist party, won seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly in 1998, 2003 and 2007, but lost them in 2011.

Republic of Ireland[edit]

Loyalism in the post-partition Republic of Ireland has declined since independence.^[13]Many southern Irish loyalists and non-loyalists volunteered for service in the British Armed Forces in World War I and World War II, many of them losing their lives or settling in the United Kingdom after the wars.^[14] Partition saw mass movements of southern loyalists to Northern Ireland or to Great Britain,^[15] although loyalist or neo-unionist groups such as theReform Movement, the Border Minority Group and the Loyal Irish Union are active to this day.

Scotland[edit]

The Scottish loyalist movement originated during the Industrial Revolution when a significant number of Ulster Protestants migrated to Scotland from Ireland.^[16] In Scotland, a loyalist is someone on the fringes of Scottish unionism who is often strongly supportive of loyalism and unionism, although mainly concentrating on the Irish union issue rather than on Scottish politics.^{[citation needed]} Scottish loyalism is typified by militant opposition to Irish republicanism, Scottish independence and the Roman Catholic Church – particularly the existence of Catholic denominational schools.^{[citation needed]}

Though only consisting of a small fraction of the Scottish population, Scottish loyalism has become more visible through prominent demonstrations of the beliefs of its members since the establishment of a Scottish Parliament. Scottish loyalism is visible through participation at Orange parades with supporters from Rangers, Heart of Midlothian F.C. and Airdrie United. Some loyalists in Scotland also support Ulster paramilitary groups.

Loyalists in Scotland mostly live in small working class enclaves in the major urban centres or industrial villages, notably Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Edinburgh, Renfrewshire, Fife, West Lothian and Ayrshire. There are relatively few loyalists in areas such as Aberdeen, theScottish Borders and the Scottish Highlands.

BRITISH OCCUPIED IRELAND ON THE EUPHRATES

Ulster on the Euphrates

The Anglo-American Dirty War in Iraq 

By Chris Floyd

02/13/07 "ICH" -- -- Imagine a city torn by sectarian strife. Competing death squads roam the streets; terrorists stage horrific attacks. Local authority is distrusted and weak; local populations protect the extremists in their midst, out of loyalty or fear. A bristling military occupation exacerbates tensions at every turn, while offering prime targets for bombs and snipers. And behind the scenes, in a shadow world of double-cross and double-bluff, covert units of the occupying power run agents on both sides of the civil war, countenancing -- and sometimes directing -- assassinations, terrorist strikes, torture sessions, and ethnic cleansing.

Is this a portrait of Belfast during "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland? Or a picture of Baghdad today? It is both; and in both cases, one of Britain's most secret – and most criminally compromised – military units has plied its trade in the darkness, "turning" and controlling terrorist killers in a dangerous bid to wring actionable intelligence from blood and betrayal. And America's covert soldiers are right there with them, working side-by-side with their British comrades in the aptly named "Task Force Black," the UK's Sunday Telegraph reports.

Last week, the right-wing, pro-war paper published an early valentine to the "Joint Support Group," the covert unit whose bland name belies its dramatic role at the center of the Anglo-American "dirty war" in Iraq. In gushing, lavish, uncritical prose that could have been (and perhaps was) scripted by the unit itself, the Telegraph lauded the team of secret warriors as "one of the Coalition's most effective and deadly weapons in the fight against terror," running "dozens of Iraqi double-agents," including "members of terrorist groups."

What the story fails to mention is the fact that in its Ulster incarnation, the JSG – then known as the Force Research Unit (FRU) –actively colluded in the murder of at least 15 civilians by Loyalist deaths squads, and an untold number of victims killed, maimed and tortured by the many Irish Republican Army double-agents controlled by the unit. What's more, the man who commanded the FRUduring the height of its depredations – Lt. Col. Gordon Kerr – is in Baghdad now, heading the hugger-mugger Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR), a large counter-terrorism force made up of unnamed "existing assets" from the glory days in Northern Ireland and elsewhere.

This despite the fact that a 10-year, $100 million investigation by Britain's top police officer, Lord Stevens, confirmed in 2003 that the Kerr-led FRU "sanctioned killings" through "institutionalized collusion" with both Protestant and Catholic militias during the 1980s and 1990s. Stevens sent dossiers of evidence against Kerr and 20 other security apparatchiks to the Blair government's Director of Public Prosecutions, in the expectation that the fiery Scotsman and the others would be put on trial.

But instead prosecuting Kerr, Blair promoted him: first to a plum assignment as British military attaché in Beijing – effectively the number two man in all of UK military intelligence, as Scotland's Sunday Herald notes – then with the SRR posting to Baghdad, where Kerr and his former FRU mates now apply the "methods developed on the mean streets of Ulster during the Troubles," as the Telegraph breathlessly relates.

The Telegraph puff piece is naturally coy about revealing these methods, beyond the fact that, as in Ireland, the JSG uses "a variety of inducements ranging from blackmail to bribes" to turn Iraqi terrorists into Coalition agents. So to get a better idea of the techniques employed by the group in Baghdad, we must return to those "mean streets of Ulster" and the unit's reign of terror and collusion there, which has been thoroughly documented not only by the exhaustive Stevens inquiries, but also in a remarkable series of investigative reports by the Sunday Herald's Neil Mackay, and in extensive stories by the BBC, the Guardian, the Independent, the Times and others.

We will also see how the operations of the JSG and "Task Force Black" dovetail with U.S. efforts to apply the lessons of its own dirty wars – such as the "Salvador Option" – to Iraq, as well as long-running Bush Administration initiatives to arm and fund "friendly" militias while infiltrating terrorist groups in order to "provoke them into action." It is indeed a picture painted in black, a glimpse at the dark muck that lies beneath the high-flown rhetoric about freedom and civilization forever issuing from the lips of the war leaders.

(Continued after the jump.)

II. Whacking for the Peelers
Gregory Burns had a problem. He was one of Gordon Kerr's FRU informers planted deep inside the IRA, along with two of his friends, Johnny Dignam and Aidan Starrs. But as Mackay noted in a February 2003 story, the already-partnered Burns had acquired a girlfriend on the side, Margaret Perry, 26, a "civilian" Catholic with no paramilitary ties. Forbidden fruit is sweet, of course – but pillow talk is dangerous for an inside man. "Burns didn't keep his mouth shut and [Perry] found out he was working for British intelligence," an FRU officer told Mackay. "He tried to convince her he was a double-agent the IRA had planted in the [British] army – but she didn't buy it."

Burns called his FRU handlers and asked to come in from the cold. He'd been compromised, he said, and now he and his friends needed to get out, with new identities, relocation, good jobs – the usual payoff for trusted agents when the jig was up. But Kerr refused: "He said [Burns] should silence Perry," the FRU man told Mackay. Burns, panicking at thought of the IRA's horrific retributions against informers, insisted: he would have to kill the woman if they didn't bring him in, he told Kerr. Again Kerr refused.

And so Burns arranged a meeting with his lover, to "talk over" the situation. His friends, Aidan and Johnny, volunteered to drive her there: "On the way, they pulled into a forest, beat her to death and buried her in a shallow grave," Mackay notes. Two years later, when her body was found, the IRA put two and two together – and slowly tortured Burns and his two friends to death, after first extracting copious amounts of information about British intelligence operations in Ireland.

'In Kerr's eyes, Burns just wasn't important enough to resettle," the FRU source told the Sunday Herald. "So we ended up with four unnecessary deaths and the compromising of British army intelligence officers, which ultimately put soldiers' lives at risk. To Kerr, it was always a matter of the ends justifying the means."

Then again, Kerr could well afford to sacrifice a few informers here and there to the wrath of the IRA's dreaded "security unit" – because his own prize double agent was the head of that security unit. Codenamed "Stakeknife," Kerr's man presided over, and sometimes administered, the grisly torture-murders of up to 50 men during his tenure in the IRA's upper ranks. The victims included other British double agents who were sacrificed in order to protect Stakeknife's cover, as the Guardian and many other UK papers reported when the agent's work was revealed in 2003. ("Stakeknife" was later identified in the press as Alfredo Scappaticci – an Irishman despite the Italian name, although he continues to deny the charge.)

The FRU also "knowingly allowed soldiers, [police] officers and civilians to die at the hands of IRA bombers in order to protect republican double agents," the Sunday Herald's investigations found. As Mackay reports: "FRU sources said around seven police and army personnel died as a result of military intelligence allowing IRA bombs to be placed during Kerr's time in command of the FRU. They estimate that three civilians also died this way, with casualties in the hundreds."

But some of the worst excesses came from the FRU's handling of operatives on the other side, in the fiercely pro-British Protestant militia the Ulster Defense Association (UDA). Here, among the Loyalists, Kerr's top double agent was Brian Nelson, who became head of intelligence for the UDA. As John Ware put it in the Guardian: "Kerr regarded Nelson as his jewel in the crown… For the next three years [from 1987], Nelson colluded with murder gangs to shoot IRA suspects. Month after month, armed and masked men crashed into homes. Sometimes they got the wrong address or shot the wrong person."

Such as Gerald Slane, a 27-year-old Belfast man shot down in front of his three children. A gun had been found dumped on his property; this, and his Catholicism, was enough to get him assassinated at the order of Kerr's man Nelson. Afterwards, it was found that Slane had no IRA connections.

Another "wrong person" killed by the FRU's agents was the Belfast attorney Pat Finucane, who was shot 14 times in front of his wife and children. Finucane was a civil rights activist who had defended both Catholics and Protestants, but was considered an IRA sympathizer by Loyalists – and a thorn in the side by British authorities. He was killed at Nelson's order by a fellow FRU informer in the UDA, Ken Barrett, who was convicted of the murder but freed last year after as part of an amnesty program in the Northern Ireland peace process. Barrett was unapologetic about his FRU "wetwork" on Finucane. "The peelers [authorities] wanted him whacked," he told a BBC documentary team after his release. "We whacked him and that is the end of the story."

Kerr gave Nelson packages of intelligence files to help facilitate the assassination of UDA targets, including at least four "civilians" with no IRA ties, the Stevens inquiry found. The FRU also obtained "restriction orders" from other British security and military units in Northern Ireland, whereby they would pull their forces from an area when Kerr's UDA agents were going to make a hit there, allowing the killers to get in and get out without hindrance, investigator Nick Davies reports.

Yet the FRU was wary of sharing its own intelligence with other security services – which was the ostensible reason for running the double-agents in the first place. Instead, Kerr engaged in fierce turf wars with other agencies, while "stovepiping" much of his intelligence to the top circles of the UK government, including the cabinet-level Intelligence Committee chaired by then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Indeed, when Nelson was finally exposed and brought to trial on five counts of conspiracy to commit murder, Kerr testified in his behalf, noting for the court that Nelson's intelligence "product and his reporting was passed through the intelligence community and at a high level, and from that point of view he has to be considered a very important agent."

As one FRU man told Mackay: "Under Kerr's command…the mindset was one of 'the right people would be allowed to live and wrong people should die.'"

This is the "mindset" now operating in the heart of the Green Zone in Baghdad, where the JSG is carrying out – we are told in glowing terms – precisely the same mission it had in Ulster. a unit which has allowed its agents to torture, murder and commit acts of terrorism, including actions that killed local civilians and the soldiers and intelligence operatives of their own country.

III. The White House Green Light
Of course, Kerr and his Baghdad black-op crew are not alone in the double-dealing world of Iraqi counterinsurgency. The Pentagon's ever-expanding secret armies are deeply enmeshed in such efforts as well. As Sy Hersh has reported ("The Coming Wars," New Yorker, Jan. 24, 2005), after his re-election in 2004, George W. Bush signed a series of secret presidential directives that authorized the Pentagon to run virtually unrestricted covert operations, including a reprise of the American-backed, American-trained death squads employed by authoritarian regimes in Central and South America during the Reagan Administration, where so many of the Bush faction cut their teeth – and made their bones.

"Do you remember the right-wing execution squads in El Salvador?” a former high-level intelligence official said to Hersh. "We founded them and we financed them. The objective now is to recruit locals in any area we want. And we aren’t going to tell Congress about it." A Pentagon insider added: "We’re going to be riding with the bad boys." Another role model for the expanded dirty war cited by Pentagon sources, said Hersh, was Britain's brutal repression of the Mau Mau in Kenya during the 1950s, when British forces set up concentration camps, created their own terrorist groups to confuse and discredit the insurgency, and killed thousands of innocent civilians in quashing the uprising.

Bush's formal greenlighting of the death-squad option built upon an already securely-established base, part of a larger effort to turn the world into a "global free-fire zone" for covert operatives, as one top Pentagon official told Hersh. For example, in November 2002 a Pentagon plan to infiltrate terrorist groups and "stimulate" them into action was uncovered by William Arkin, then writing for the Los Angeles Times. The new unit, the "Proactive, Pre-emptive Operations Group," was described in the Pentagon documents as "a super-Intelligence Support Activity" that brings "together CIA and military covert action, information warfare, intelligence and cover and deception."

Later, in August 2004, then deputy Pentagon chief Paul Wolfowitz appeared before Congress to ask for $500 million to arm and train non-governmental "local militias" to serve as U.S. proxies for "counter-insurgency and "counterterrorist" operations in "ungoverned areas" and hot spots around the world, Agence France Presse (and virtually no one else) reported at the time. These hired paramilitaries were to be employed in what Wolfowitz called an "arc of crisis" that just happened to stretch across the oil-bearing lands and strategic pipeline routes of Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America.

By then, the Bush Administration had already begun laying the groundwork for an expanded covert war in the hot spot of Iraq.  In November 2003, it created a "commando squad" drawn from the sectarian militias of five major Iraqi factions, as the Washington Post reported that year. Armed, funded and trained by the American occupation forces, and supplied with a "state-of-the-art command, control and communications center" from the Pentagon, the new Iraqi commandos were loosed on the then-nascent Iraqi insurgency – despite the very prescient fears of some U.S. officials "that various Sunni or Shiite factions could eventually use the service to secretly undermine their political competitors," as the Post noted.

And indeed, in early 2005 – not long after Bush's directives loosed the "Salvador Option" on Iraq – the tide of death-squad activity began its long and bloody rise to the tsunami-like levels we see today. Ironically, the first big spike of mass torture-murders, chiefly in Sunni areas at the time, coincided with "Operation Lightning," a much ballyhooed effort by American and Iraqi forces to "secure" Baghdad. The operation featured a mass influx of extra troops into the capital; dividing the city into manageable sectors, then working through them one by one; imposing hundreds of checkpoints to lock down all insurgent movements; and establishing a 24-hour presence of security and military forces in troubled neighborhoods, the Associated Press reported in May 2005. In other words, it was almost exactly the same plan now being offered as Bush's "New Way Forward," the controversial "surge."

But the "Lightning" fizzled in a matter of weeks, and the death squads grew even bolder. Brazen daylight raids by "men dressed in uniforms" of Iraqi police or Iraqi commandos or other Iraqi security agencies swept up dozens of victims at a time. For months, U.S. "advisers" to Iraqi security agencies – including veterans of the original "Salvador Option" – insisted that these were Sunni insurgents in stolen threads, although many of the victims were Sunni civilians. Later, the line was changed: the chief culprits were now "rogue elements" of the various sectarian militias that had "infiltrated" Iraq's institutions.

But as investigative reporter Max Fuller has pointed out in his detailed examination of information buried in reams of mainstream news stories and public Pentagon documents, the vast majority of atrocities then attributed to "rogue" Shiite and Sunni militias were in fact the work of government-controlled commandos and "special forces," trained by Americans, "advised" by Americans and run largely by former CIA assets. As Fuller puts it: "If there are militias in the Ministry of Interior, you can be sure that they are militias that stand to attention whenever a U.S. colonel enters the room." And perhaps a British lieutenant colonel as well

With the Anglo-American coalition so deeply embedded in dirty war – infiltrating terrorist groups, "stimulating" them into action," protecting "crown jewel" double-agents no matter what the cost, "riding with the bad boys," greenlighting the "Salvador Option" – it is simply impossible to determine the genuine origin of almost any particular terrorist outrage or death squad atrocity in Iraq. All of these operations take place in the shadow world, where terrorists are sometimes government operatives and vice versa, and where security agencies and terrorist groups interpenetrate in murky thickets of collusion and duplicity. This moral chaos leaves "a kind of blot/To mark the full-fraught man and best indued/With some suspicion," as Shakespeare's Henry V says.

What's more, the "intelligence" churned out by this system is inevitably tainted by the self-interest, mixed motives, fear and criminality of those who provide it. The ineffectiveness of this approach can be seen in the ever-increasing, many-sided civil war that is tearing Iraq apart. If these covert operations really are intended to quell the violence, they clearly have had the opposite effect. If they have some other intention, the pious defenders of civilization – who approve these activities with promotions, green lights and unlimited budgets – aren't telling.

    "War on Terror"

    How do you declare war on a tactic?

    There is record number of terrorist attacks because the Jihadists know that Obama won't do jack shit. If it were Bush, there would be at least 27 new wars across North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia which would not end until every last Mudslime is buried in ordnance.

    The Democrats are such pathological liars. Al Qaeda and it's associated groups are more powerful than ever, thanks to Obama's failed foreign policy.

    But it is RT who supports Socialists like:

    Michael Prysner who belongs to the (Marxist) "Party for Socialism and Liberation" and Lawrence Freeman who is involved with the LaRouche

    group's "Executive Intelligence Review"

    RT is just throwing chum to the chumps who believe that RT

    (ie Russia) is pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel (Many Israelis have

    dual Russian-Israeli citizenship)

    Bankers & "Merchants of Death" (the businesses of the MIC)

    ALWAYS WIN

    Because people are easy to divide and then they attempt

    to conquer each other; rather than joining together and

    destroying the bankers & "merchants of death"

    terrorism is never justified. no human has the right to tKe an innocent persons life just because he doesnt agree with their views. life in itself is already hard. wish terrorist and fundamental religious fanatics would just open their eyes. "religion is a prison for the seekers of wisdom"

    Empires don't retreat from the edges (although physical retreats

    do occur on some occasions); empires collapse from within.

    US bases won't be closed (exception: perhaps those in Germany)

    Unless, the bases are support bases (e.g. in Kyrgyzstan for the

    Afghanistan war)

    MIC and those who want to maintain the empire will force hardship

    on the public until the very last minute. Like the USSR did in in

    eastern/central Europe; before it collapsed.

    Umm you know Russia entered WW2 after they where invaded by Germany and that many of those casulties were Russian? THat is nothing like the current situation. Also wasnt AMerica the one to have origanally trained and armed Al Quada (mahuganadeen or however you spell that)? Ummm, yes I believe they where. Where they not also intramental in taking down Sadam and Gadafi leaving once stable countries in Anarchy? Yes yes they where. So RT has every right to blame the US.

    The guy at the end is right, there are many moderate muslims who are willing to work together and create secular societies. But America just sweeps them away. Shoots a couple bullets. and boom moderates turn into extremists.

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar create terrorism. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are huge friends of the Usa. So Usa is to blame, because they say they fight terror, but are friends of the terror creators, and sponsorize the terror in Libya, Syria, etc...

    Usa share the purposes with the terror created by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the purpose is to destroy the countries which aren't under their influence, like Syria, Iran, Russia, etc...

    RT has no business editorializing the cause effect relation between terrorism and US response. The casualty rate during WW2 greatly increased when the Soviets entered the war. Does one draw the conclusion that Russia is to blame? Only insane people do that. RT is in the side of insanity.

    It is Muslims who are committing these acts of terror. It is they who are to blame. America is not even in Iraq. The perpetrators are the ones committing the act. RT is a shameful Pravda KGB blame shifting.

    Take a look at what 2013 Democratic Iraq became, even the new democracized gvmnt killing citizens in the streets, which goes to show you, even Saddam had a more peaceful and better country under his heavy hand. Today Iraq is out of control after American intervention and a terror haven with 1000 killings+ a month. Most of which was created with our own (U.S.) tax dollars and suplus that we once had. You can see why we are hated and rightfully so.

    America can't avoid the bankruptcy. That's a given. Closing the bases is a must .. won't change American image and CAN'T remove American war crimes. America will pay for their crimes on numerous levels. Unavoidable.
