The Mohammed Cartoons -
Recruiting Europe For
Bush's War On Iran

By Webster Griffin Tarpley
2-9-6

WASHINGTON, DC -- The NATO intelligence provocation appearing in the guise of the scurrilous Mohammed cartoons published by the reactionary newspaper Jyllands Posten of Denmark, and then by a series of other European publications, has already done much to mobilize the armies, bases, and treasuries of Europe in support of the lunatic plan to the Bush-neocon clique for a nuclear sneak attack and punitive expedition against Iran over the coming weeks or months. As I warned in a red alert for synthetic terrorism issued on total411.info and other sites in the late afternoon of Feb. 3, this entire affair has been cynically orchestrated by NATO intelligence agencies to set the stage for a new world war.

In recent years, Moslem and Arab resentment for the various crimes of imperialism has been directed primarily against the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel. What is new about the present crisis is that Denmark, Norway, France, and Germany are the main targets this time, while the usual suspects in London and Washington can remain in the background and hypocritically condemn the inflammatory cartoons. The result has been a massive degeneration of the ideological climate of Europe in favor of militant racism in the form of the Samuel Huntington War of Civilizations. The Europeans are now far more likely than previously to go to war against Iran as the tail on the Anglo-American kite. The genocidal demand that the European Union cut off all aid to the Hamas-led government of Palestine has become far more likely to succeed.

BILDERGERGERS AND NEOCONS

The evidence strongly suggests that the cartoon provocation was presented to Atlanticist oligarchs at the meeting of the Bilderberger group held from May 5 to May 8, 2005 at the Dorint Sofitel Seehotel Überfahrt in Rottach-Egern, on the shores of the Tegernsee lake in the south German federal state of Bavaria. (See http://www.bilderberg.org/2006.htm#
Fountainhead for a partial attendance list) The first publication of the cartoons in Denmark followed in September 2005. This meeting was attended by the certified neocon fascist madmen Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle, and William Luti ­ all desperadoes haunted by the prospect of criminal indictment for their roles in the Iraq aggression, the Plame case, the Niger yellowcake forgeries, and the Lord Conrad Black embezzlement case. All three are fanatic proponents of the wider war against Iran, also in the hope of staying out of jail. Others in attendance included Dutch, Belgian, and Spanish royalty, top Eurocrats and NATO bigwigs (including NATO Secretary General Jaap Hoop de Scheffer himself) from Brussels, Rockefeller and Rothschild international bankers, and such all-purpose villains as Henry Kissinger. Another prominent participant in the Bavarian Bilderberger group was Anders Eldrep of Denmark, a Bilderberger regular over the last five years. This Anders Eldrep (or Eldrup),the chairman of DONG (Danish Oil and Natural Gas), is the husband of Merete Eldrep, the managing director of JP/Politikens Hus (JP for Jyllands-Posten), the Danish publishing firm which owns the newspaper which first published the Mohammed cartoons.

The Bilderberger group, founded after World War II by Britain's genocidal Prince Philip and the Nazi SS Prince Bernard of the Netherlands, represents one of the key nodal points where the international finance oligarchs meet under US-UK leadership to ratify consensus on larger strategic initiatives. It was for example the Bilderberger meeting held near Stockholm in Saltsjøbaden, Sweden in the spring of 1973 which secured the final consensus for the Royal Dutch Shell plans for the October 1973 Middle East War and the attendant "Arab" oil boycott, which looted Japan and Europe and imposed global austerity to stabilize the US dollar and the Atlanticist banking system. That financiers' staged oil boycott was the 1973 version of today's "peak oil" hoax.

SOMETHING ROTTEN: POLITIETS EFTERRETNINGSTJENESTE

As for the repeated canard about freedom of the press, all the countries of the Nordic Council have long maintained press control through psychological warfare boards with the power to suppress and plant news stories for propaganda purposes. Sweden is the best-known example, but Denmark, a NATO member state, is no slouch either. Having directed political organizing in Denmark for a number of years, the present writer can also personally attest to the pervasive surveillance of publishing, political meetings, and public speech (as of the mid-1980s) maintained by the PET (Politiets Efterretningstjeneste), the Danish Security Intelligence Service. The PET is a sinister and stealthy organization staffed by devotees of the Danish monarchy, and its mandate is unchecked. (See http://www.pet.dk/English.aspx for a chilling self-presentation, including the ominous news that "the new Danish legislation on terrorism expands the scope of the Intelligence Service so that PET's investigations, to a higher degree than previously, may provide the basis of actual criminal cases or other more offensive initiatives." Author's emphasis, WGT.) Denmark, in short, is a monarchist police state.

Denmark has been largely a British puppet state over the last two centuries ­ since Lord Nelson burned the Danish fleet in a sneak attack on Copenhagen which put an end to Denmark as an independent power. For the broadest political purposes, provocations coming from Denmark can be thought of as being signed by the warmonger Tony Blair personally. The current Danish neocon regime is in any case a member of Bush's coalition of the willing engaged in the illegal occupation of Iraq.

The editor of Jyllands Posten who ordered the publication of the cartoons is Flemming Rose, who has extensive connections to Daniel Pipes, another neocon fascist madman who runs Campus Watch, a neo-McCarthyite witch-hunting organization which vilifies American professors who criticize Israel or show sympathy for the Palestinians. President Bush wanted to name Daniel Pipes to the board of the US Institute of Peace, a government-funded arm of the State Department which organizes conferences and publishes books. When the raving extremist Pipes turned out to be too widely discredited to obtain Senate confirmation for this post, Bush forced his nomination through with a summer 2003 recess appointment to a temporary term at USIP without Senate approval. Daniel Pipes is the nepotist son of Richard Pipes, a Sovietologist who was a leading figure in George H.W. Bush's 1976 Team B, the incubator of today's neocon clique. At the time of his recess appointment, Daniel Pipes was accused by the very moderate Arab-American Institute of "hatred and bigotry" in the context of his "bizarre obsession with all things Arab and Muslim." (http://www.aaiusa.org/pr/release08-14-03.htm) This is the sick, racist point of view embraced by Jyllands Posten.

Flemming Rose provided details of his conversation with Daniel Pipes in a later article. They talked about the need to mobilize Europe for the war of civilizations against the Moslem world. Rose wrote: "Pipes is surprised that there isn't greater alarm in Europe over the challenge that Islam represents thanks to falling rates of fertility and a weakened sense for its own history and culture." (Flemming Rose, "The Threat from Islamism, Jyllands-Posten, October 29, 2004) The relation of such racist arguments to the Mohammed cartoons provocation should be clear enough.

GENERAL WAR IN SIGHT

With these facts, a strong prima facie case for preconcert in the cartoon affair emerges. The convergence of the US-UK nuclear lynch mob's dragging Iran before the United Nations Security Council in a parody of the spring 2003 US-UK proceedings against Iraq, plus the cartoons affair, means that a new general war, perhaps more like the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) than futuristic scenarios of World War III, is now in sight.

Oops, meant to put this in Article Recommendations.

 

[Cyre2067]

Wow i didn't realize how connected that all was. The annoying thing is, its impossible for me to translate that into an understandable form that i can disseminate to the masses due to its complexity and history. No doubt this is how numerous of their shams are kept from public scrutiny/awareness.

 

[Mr. Premise]

Yeah, Webster Tarpley is good. If you haven't looked at it yet, check out his biography of Bush I available online here: http://www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm

It is a lot of interconnected material, but if I were talking about the Cartoon Flap with a person who is not super-informed, I would just ask who benefits? Why do some people WANT a religious war between Islam and the West? Would all these newpapers publish a cartoon showing the new pope sodomizing a child? That would be about as offensive.

Sometimes I wonder if the Europeans aren't being dumb like a fox... you know, acting like they support Bush's aims just enough to get him into another war... because they know it will destroy the U.S. I don't think that there is a single EU country that Bush hasn't insulted - except the "Coalition of the Bought and Paid For."

On the other hand, there is the argument that the EU does NOT want to see the U.S. go down because they will go down with it. Or would they? The U.S. doesn't manufacture much of anything anymore, seems to have pretty much wasted its resources, it's just a useless feeder in the Global Economy.

Then, there is the argument that they are "all in it together" with the knowledge of imminent global climate change and/or cometary impacts or "something else," and they are all intending to set things up to eliminate 94% of the population.

But I don't think Europe or Russia want any nukes going off in the Middle East. It's way too close. This whole scenario is a puzzler, or so it seems.

 

[Mr. Premise]

I share your puzzlement on these questions, Laura. The whole thing right now doesn't add up, which means there might be a piece of the puzzle missing. A nuclear attack on Iran would seem to be even less in the interest of Europe than a conventional one on Iraq.

But, as Tarpley shows with the part about Bilderberg, the if you go above the political leaders of Europe you have the royalty and old nobility who are still extremely powerful and who have been fighting Islam for more than thirteen centuries. These are interests who can control Bush and who seem to have allied with Zionists, at least temporarily.

I am just speculating. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Ahhh - the good old Bilderberg Group - the most powerful and wealthy humans who actually think they are controlling things and steering them in the direction they believe is best. Patsies, one and all - toys played with by the real PTB who have absolutely no qualms about squashing them all, if necessary. For some reason, it reminds me of a pack of demons in hell who think that they're safe because they know the big guy - but they forget that "bad guys can never be trusted", as Harrison Ford said last night on the Daily Show (sorry, I know that Jon Stewart really has no clue, but he does make me chuckle now and again). It will be very interesting to see what happens next; it's really not up to the E.U. or the U.S. or anyone else we can name - remember that "we are an experiment" thing? Perhaps our petri dish is about to get tossed out.

 

[PopHistorian]

FWIW, you can hear Tarpley speak for an hour straight (recorded shortly after the above article was published) on the neocon plan to attack Iran and what it might mean. He briefly addresses one of the assumptions I like to point out, which is, what would Iran do with a nuclear bomb? Why is this threatening?

…a new general war, perhaps more like the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) than futuristic scenarios of World War III, is now in sight.

This is what the Thirty Years' War was like:

The major impact of the Thirty Years' War, which primarily used mercenary armies who had little concern for anyone's rights or property, was to lay waste to entire regions scavanged bare by the foraging armies, causing a much higher than normal death rate among the civilian population, as episodes of widespread famine and disease (a starving body has little resistance to illnesses) devastated the population of The Germanies and The Low Countries, while bankrupting many of the powers involved. The war may have lasted for 30 years, but the conflicts that triggered it continued unresolved for a much longer time. The war ended with the Treaty of Münster, a part of the wider Peace of Westphalia.

Sounds great for the pathocrats - truly horrible for us. Get rid of a few hundred million useless eaters, and those left will be so far in debt it will take eternity to pay it off.

Sometimes I wonder if the Europeans aren't being dumb like a fox.

I think we would all like to think that this was the case...is it a bit of wishful thinking?

But, as Tarpley shows with the part about Bilderberg, the if you go above the political leaders of Europe you have the royalty and old nobility who are still extremely powerful and who have been fighting Islam for more than thirteen centuries. These are interests who can control Bush and who seem to have allied with Zionists, at least temporarily.

fwiw, Do we know the full extent of the information EU leaders have been told or the pressure of coercion they are under? - could it be like the scene from Goldfinger where the psychopathic plan is told to all the gold investors and any objector (at the moment this seems to be Spain) is sent to the car masher! It seems that there is a whole lot of meaningless diversionary focus on economic development and eerie silence on these important issues.

In any event they all need to ramp up the fear factor because there are more articles in MSM questioning whether the war on terror is completely made up or half made up. This is the fatalist instinct in my gut speculating - the 30 year war scenario is terrifying but at some stage when the smoke starts clearing that might be thought to be the only option available to the pathocracy. I think the PTB might get bored of boiling this frog and just microwave it. Wallop! It would be interesting to hear Joe's point of view...
