A Sneak Preview of What to Expect!
What is Terrorism? on Vimeo (http://www.vimeo.com/6567370)


JBS CEO Art Thompson heads out on tour beginning September 22. He will reveal the intentions, networks, and major players in the Triangle of Terror. "Exposing Terrorism: Inside the Terror Triangle" covers nearly 20 cities, beginning in Boise, Idaho.

“America is focusing too much on Islamic militants and not enough on the network of suppliers and backers,” says Mr. Thompson. “Islamic militants are only one part of the terror triangle.”

His presentation runs through the beginning of December. Mr. Thompson says his goal is to keep the U.S. out of another war. “The media superficially reports on these bombings. Viewers are not shown the whole picture.” Check out a video trailer regarding his talk at http://www.ExposingTerrorism.com. Detailed schedule information is here (http://www.jbs.org/upcoming-events/categoryevents/2-jbs-member-events).

Local Speakers Bureau committees are busy laying out the logistics for their event, including rallying local members, selling tickets, promoting the event, raising funds to cover expenses and selling ads for the event booklet. If your area is hosting a presentation, contact your Chapter Leader or Coordinator to learn how you can help. You play a vital role in making sure we do not trade liberty for temporary security. Get involved today! Look for educational tools to help promote this event coming soon from JBS.

Mr. Thompson joined the Society in 1964 and rose through the ranks becoming a successful Area Coordinator in the 1970s. He left the staff to go back into business in 1981 and returned to the staff again in the 1990s. He has held virtually every volunteer and staff position in the Society, including National Director of Development and Communications and National Director of Field Activities. For several years, he represented the Society in a variety of media events, including appearing on “60 Minutes.”

This should be very interesting.

[revolutionisnow]

What? So Arabs are behind communism also? The Bolsheviks and Marxists were really Arabs in disguise?

No, the same people who are behind communism are also behind Islamic terrorism.. and Zionism.. and it's not "the Jews," despite Mossad's cooperation.. they are just a player.

[Liberty Star]

Is it wise on our part to burn all bridges with radical Islamist jihadis and extremist foreign fighters? They were key to bringing USSR down (with our help and training), how are we going to deal with future emrging super powers on our own and still protect our global empire?

[dannno]

.......yyyyaaaaaaaaaaaa.............

No, the John Birch Society is going to Follow the Money and show the true powers behind the throne.

The questions are: Who funded the "terrorists"? Who radicalized these extreme groups? Is it only about religion or something much deeper?

Since 9/11 the face of terrorism has been mostly Islamic.
But Islam is only one part of the terror triangle, and not the most important part.
Learn about the rest of the terror triangle.

Just remember, The John Birch Society has been proven to be stunningly accurate in exposing the true players behind the game even many years in advance.

I recommend people simply read the Grand Chessboard (http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Chessboard-American-Geostrategic-Imperatives/dp/0465027261/ref=sr_1_2/179-7282910-2496603?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251470183&sr=8-2) by Zibigniew Brzezinski so they can get the information straight from the planner's mouths.

I would argue that JBS regularly only exposes a subset of the truth, practicing containment on critical vectors of information so the public does not see the larger picture and stays withing tightly managed dialectics.

There have been 554 terrorist attacks targeting police officers including “Islamic” terrorist groups carrying out these attacks — al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Taliban, Lashkar e-Taiba, Abu Sayyef, etc. — were formed by, and/or are led by, chiefs who are “former” communists.

Terrorist Targeting of Police (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/world-mainmenu-26/asia-mainmenu-33/1562)


William F. Jasper | The New American (http://www.thenewamerican.com/)
03 August 2009


To the headlines listed below could be added hundreds more cataloging the concerted global attack by terrorist organizations against law enforcement.

Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster (Los Angeles Police Department, retired), writing for Hi-Tech Criminal Justice, notes that “as of August 14, 2005, world-wide, there have been 554 terrorist attacks targeting police officers. These attacks resulted in 2,546 injuries and 1,327 fatalities.”

Item: “Al Qaeda suicide attack hits police center in Algeria,” August 19, 2008

Item: “Pakistan ambush kills four police officials,” July 19, 2009

Item: “Ten killed, including seven police, in Iraq violence,” July 20, 2009

Item: “Terrorists in Iraq target police: 350 killed in year,” March 26, 2004

Item: “Child, senior police officer killed in Mosul attacks,” July 6, 2009

Item: “Blast hits Islamabad police station, 2 killed, 3 wounded,” June 7, 2009

From Malaysia to Turkey, and Colombia to Pakistan, the trend seems to be spiking upward. According to the press reports, many, if not most, of the attacks on police mentioned above are the work of “Islamic extremists.” However, the current round of terrorist attacks on law enforcement bears an unmistakable resemblance to previous orchestrated campaigns of “escalating violence” by Soviet-directed Marxist-Leninist terror groups. The more astute counterterrorism analysts have noted virtually all of the significant “Islamic” terrorist groups carrying out these attacks — al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Taliban, Lashkar e-Taiba, Abu Sayyef, etc. — were formed by, and/or are led by, chiefs who are “former” communists. These same “militant Islamicists” maintain open cordial relations with the Kremlin “infidels” and more secret back-channel relations with the Russian KGB-FSB and GRU, through whom they receive not only arms, munitions, and explosives, but also training and intelligence.

Communists as Jihadists

As Finnish counterterrorism expert Antero Leitzinger has noted in his enlightening study The Roots of Islamic Terrorism, “Afghan communists have a broad history of ‘turning coats,’ or to be more accurate, of growing beards and adopting the title ‘Mullah’ attached to a pseudonym.” The most important Taliban leaders — Abdurrashid Dostum, Shahnawaz Tanai, Gulbuddin Hikmatyar — are longtime, career communists and KGB operatives. Their attacks on the Afghani and Pakistani police have been taken from the communist game plan, as put forth in the Mini-Manual of the Urban Guerrilla (quoted above), authored by Brazilian Communist Party member Carlos Marighella.

Since its publication 40 years ago, this text has been translated into many languages and published in many editions. It has become a standard handbook of terrorists (including so-called Islamic terrorists) worldwide, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. The Mini-Manual focuses a considerable portion of its attention on instructing would-be terrorist cadres on the importance of targeting the police and how to go about attacking them in the most efficient manner.

Marighella tells his Mini-Manual readers, for instance, that among the “vulnerable targets for assaults” are commissaries and police stations, jails, and military and police vehicles. His students of mayhem are taught the importance of ambushing police:



Ambushes are attacks typified by surprise when the enemy is trapped across a road or when he makes a police net surrounding a house or an estate. A false message can bring the enemy to the spot where he falls into the trap.

The principle object of the ambush tactic is to capture enemy arms and punish him with death.


“The roads followed by the police vehicles must be mined at key points along the way and at forced stopping points,” instructs Marighella. “When the mines explode, the vehicles will fly into the air. The police will be caught in the trap and will suffer losses or will be victims of ambush.”

The Mini-Manual also provides instruction to the urban guerrilla on the fine art of using mass demonstrations as a cover for terrorist activities. It advises, for example:



Street tactics have revealed a new type of urban guerrilla, the urban guerrilla who participates in mass demonstrations. This is the type we designate as the urban guerrilla demonstrator, who joins the ranks and participates in popular marches with specific and definite aims.

These aims consist in hurling stones and projectiles of every type, using gasoline to start fires, using the police as a target for their fire arms, capturing police arms, kidnapping agents of the enemy and provocateurs, shooting with careful aim at the henchmen torturers and the police chiefs.


The manual also urges the riot-makers to place snipers on roof tops for shooting police who are trying to maintain crowd control, and instructs on “throwing bottles, bricks, paperweights, and other projectiles from the tops of apartment and office buildings against the police.”

Global Game Plan

We can observe these instructions being followed in attacks on law enforcement from Karachi to Kabul, Istanbul to Baghdad, Paris to Los Angeles. Why the concentrated focus on aggression toward the police? In a free society, the police are indispensable agents for protection of the rule of law; both for protection of the citizen against aggression by criminal elements, and even more importantly for protection of the citizen against aggression and abuse by government officials. In the totalitarian society that the terrorists hope to create — whether modeled on Iran, Cuba, Russia, or post-Soviet Kazakhstan — the police are purely instruments of oppression for the central government, whose power is unrestrained by constitutional checks and balances. Although the urban guerrilla and his street demonstration accomplices vociferously denounce what they claim is oppression and brutality, their true aim is to escalate violence to a level that will provoke the government and the police to suspend civil liberties, invoke emergency powers, and dismantle the constitutional structures that protect against the concentration of power.

Marighella is explicit that the urban guerrilla is not interested in any peaceful reforms; his only interest is to drive the situation to the crisis point where:



The government has no alternative except to intensify repression. The police roundups, house searches, arrests of innocent people make life in the city unbearable.... The armed forces, the navy and the air force are mobilized to undertake routine police functions....

Rejecting the “so-called political solution,” the urban guerrilla must become more aggressive and violent, resorting without letup to sabotage, terrorism, expropriations, assaults, kidnappings, and executions, heightening the disastrous situation in which the government must act.


Although his name is affixed to this devilish playbook, Marighella was not the originator of the scheme. Claire Sterling noted in her important 1980 book The Terror Network: “An intimate of Castro’s and assiduous visitor to Cuba, Marighella was an apparatchik in Brazil’s pro-Moscow Communist Party for forty years.” It was Castro’s DGI (supervised by the Soviet KGB) that helped Marighella codify in the Mini-Manual a program that the Soviets had already been using with deadly efficiency for decades. Constitutional scholar and former Salt Lake City Police Chief W. Cleon Skousen observed in his 1966 book The Communist Attack on U.S. Police that a key event that would serve as an archetype for the global attack on police actually took place shortly after World War II, in 1948 — a little over 20 years before the Mini-Manual was published.

The Bogota Archetype

The event was the Pan-American Conference in Bogota, Colombia, featuring leaders of all nations of the Western Hemisphere. The Soviet embassy was the nerve center of massive preparations aimed at turning the conference into a violent and deadly maelstrom. One of the nine hand-picked communist leaders who instigated the riots and mayhem in Bogota on April 9 was the then-virtually unknown Cuban “student” Fidel Castro. On a signal, the assassination of Colombian politician George Gaitan, the communist urban guerrillas generated their street mobs and led them into a rapid escalation of violence that overwhelmed the police.

Dr. Skousen, who served with the FBI for 16 years and was for many years the editorial director of the independent police journal Law and Order, wrote:



The Communists had a crew sweep through the city ahead of the mob, smashing off locks and opening stores and warehouses. After the mob had looted the buildings, another crew went through spraying gasoline on floors and walls. The last stage was to have trained arsonists methodically burn these structures which ultimately destroyed the center of the city. Colleges, churches, stores and other public buildings were burned. Altogether, 136 major buildings were destroyed.... After the battles between the police and the mobs had subsided, more than 1,000 corpses were left lying in the streets. Hundreds more had been carried off in the night.


A decade and a half later, the same program would be used to reduce American cities to smoldering ruin. And the communist program for targeting police outlined by Marighella would be instituted with a vengeance. The Weather Underground (WU), the Black Panther Party (BPP), the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), the American Indian Movement (AIM), and the Puerto Rican Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN) were some of the most active terrorists carrying out the plan.

The Obama presidential campaign unintentionally thrust two of the most notorious Weather Underground terrorists of the 1960s, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, back into the spotlight. Evidence points to them as the murderers of San Francisco Police Sergeant Brian McDonnell on February 16, 1970. Larry Grathwol, a former FBI undercover informant inside the WU, says that Ayers admitted to him that Dohrn had planted the bomb for him. Ayers and Dohrn, who are friends and supporters of President Barack Obama from his Chicago “community activist” days, have never repented of their revolutionary activities, and in fact, Ayers is still actively involved with the communist government of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.

The cases of communist “Islamic” cop killers Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown) and Mumia Abu-Jamal (formerly Wesley Cook) are also examples of the Mini-Manual put into action. During the 1960s, H. Rap Brown gained fame as the fiery orator and minister of justice of the Black Panther Party. Brown engaged in a shootout with police in New York in 1971, for which he was arrested, tried, convicted, and sent to prison for five years. While in prison, he supposedly converted to Islam, and when he was released in 1976 had become “Imam” Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin. However, when two sheriff’s deputies attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant in 2000 (for possession of a stolen vehicle, impersonating an officer, and other charges), he shot them both, killing Deputy Ricky Kinchon and wounding Deputy Aldranon English.

Mumia Abu-Jamal, the international darling of the socialist-communist Left and the Islamic Left, is serving a life sentence for the 1981 ambush and execution-murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. Like Brown/Al-Amin, Cook/Abu-Jamal studied the communist rants of Chairman Mao’s “Little Red Book.” And like Brown, he converted to Islam while in prison. Both men still show far more Mao and Marx than Mohamed in their ideological tirades.

So too does another notorious relic from the 1970s, Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, the infamous communist terrorist better known as “Carlos” or “The Jackal.” In 1997, he was tried and found guilty of the 1975 murder of two French police officers in Paris. He converted to Islam in prison, but his 2003 book Revolutionary Islam is a screed for Islamo-Leninism, a fusion of communism and Islam.

It is important to recognize, however, that these cases and many others illustrate not the conversion of communists to Islam, but the adaptation of Islam by communists to serve communist purposes. “Today’s international terrorism was conceived at the Lubyanka, the headquarters of the KGB, in the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War in the Middle East,” says General Ion Mihai Pacepa, former head of Communist Romania’s secret police, the DIE. “I witnessed its birth in my other life, as a Communist general.”

In an August 2006 National Review Online column, Pacepa, who had overseen much of the Middle Eastern terrorism for the Kremlin, made these startling statements:



General Aleksandr Sakharovsky, who created Communist Romania’s intelligence structure and then rose to head up all of Soviet Russia’s foreign intelligence, often lectured me: “In today’s world, when nuclear arms have made military force obsolete, terrorism should become our main weapon.”



Between 1968 and 1978, when I broke with Communism, the security forces of Romania alone sent two cargo planes full of military goodies every week to Palestinian terrorists in Lebanon. Since the fall of Communism the East German Stasi archives have revealed that, in 1983 alone, its foreign intelligence service sent $1,877,600 worth of AK-47 ammunition to Lebanon. According to Vaclav Havel, Communist Czechoslovakia shipped 1,000 tons of the odorless explosive Semtex-H (which can’t be detected by sniffer dogs) to Islamic terrorists — enough for 150 years.


In the mid-1970s, says Pacepa, the KGB ordered his service, the DIE — along with other East European sister services — to scour their countries for trusted Communist Party activists belonging to various Islamic ethnic groups, train them in disinformation and terrorist operations, and infiltrate them into the Islamic countries of their spheres of influence. “Before I left Romania for good, in 1978,” Pacepa states, “my DIE had dispatched around 500 such undercover agents to Islamic countries. According to a rough estimate received from Moscow, by 1978 the whole Soviet-bloc intelligence community had sent some 4,000 such agents of influence into the Islamic world.”

Adding to General Pacepa’s revelations are the more recent exposés by KGB-FSB defectors Alexander Litvinenko and Mikhail Trepashkin, who similarly point to Vladimir Putin and the Lubyanka as the sources of the global wave of terrorism. They and others have noted that Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda’s second in command, is a Russian FSB operative. In an interview following the deadly suicide bomb attacks in London in July 2005, Litvinenko stated:



I know only one organization that has made terrorism the main tool of solving political problems. It is the Russian special services.… At the special department of the KGB they trained terrorists from practically every country in the world…. The bloodiest terrorists in the world were or are agents of the KGB-FSB…. I can definitely say that the center of global terrorism is not in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or the Chechen Republic. The terrorist infection is spread worldwide from Lubyanka Square and the Kremlin cabinet. And until the Russian special services are outlawed, dispersed and condemned, the terrorism will never stop: bombs will blow up and blood will be shed…. Yuri Andropov, Vladimir Putin, Nikolay Patrushev and others — these people are the main terrorists.... And until we condemn them ... global terrorism will continue.


And, we might add, we can expect the police forces of the non-communist nations to bear the brunt of the global attack. Incredibly, the United States government — through the Clinton, Bush, and now Obama, administrations — continues to treat Russia as an “ally” in the fight against terrorism, ignoring the extensive evidence that Putin and company are orchestrating the terror offensive. It is the same terrorist offensive of the 1960s and ’70s, but in a new phase, under a new guise; instead of the “anti-colonialism” and “national independence” movements the communists used as covers in that earlier period, they have adopted and co-opted Islam to serve their purpose.

Robert Welch and the John Birch Society both effusively praised J. Edgar Hoover as our nation's most knowledgeable, reliable and authoritative source of information on the communist movement. [See, for example, the October 1966 article in the JBS magazine, American Opinion, entitled "The Wisdom and Warning of J. Edgar Hoover."]

Consequently, JBS admirers now have an opportunity to compare the conclusions disseminated by the JBS to conclusions reached by the person (Hoover) and the institution (the FBI) which they consider the most reliable info source---as revealed in first-time-released FBI files and documents.

My 91-page report on the JBS is available here: http://ernie1241.googlepages.com/jbs-1

My report reveals why senior FBI officials within the Bureau's Domestic Intelligence Division described the JBS in internal FBI memos as "extremist", "irrational", "irresponsible", "lunatic fringe" and "fanatics".

U.S. Attorney Tries to Kill Book Exposing Terrorism (http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/1246)


William F. Jasper | The New American (http://www.thenewamerican.com/)
15 June 2009


A major battle over censorship is igniting. Since October 2007, United States Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has been trying to kill a book that paints him in an unfavorable light. A new edition of TRIPLE CROSS: How Bin Laden's Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets, and the FBI by Peter Lance is due to be released on June 16, at a press conference (http://www.peterlance.com/TRIPLE_CROSS_6.5.0_RELEASE_FINAL.pdf) at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

In Triple Cross (Harper Collins), Peter Lance, a five-time Emmy award-winning investigative reporter, details the incredible story of how Ali Mohamed, al-Qaeda's master spy, managed to penetrate the deepest levels of the U.S. intelligence community and provide vital assistance to Osama bin Laden's terrorist operations for years prior to the 9/11 terror attacks — while on the U.S. government's payroll. A cover story on Ali Mohamed that appeared in The New American in November 2007 ("Unleashing a Terrorist" (http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/832-unleashing-a-terrorist)) reports on the enormous multi-year investigative effort by Peter Lance to connect the dots, showing the important linkages that tie together several of the most important terrorist attacks on America: the 1990 assassination of Rabbi Meier Kahane; the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; and the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Ali Mohamed played a key role in all of these cases — and others besides.

Lance is one of the few investigative journalists from the mainstream media to delve into the abundant evidence (which The New American reported on extensively over a period of years) showing the connections of Ali Mohamed and convicted 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

In an October 2007 letter to Harper Collins, Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney for Illinois' northern district (and formerly assistant U.S. attorney in New York, where he headed a number of high-profile prosecutions), threatened to sue for defamation unless the publisher ceased publication and distribution, issued a public retraction of the book's allegations about Fitzgerald, and agreed to refrain from publishing a scheduled updated edition of the book. Following an extensive, 18-month vetting of the evidence in Lance's book, Harper Collins decided to go ahead with publication of the updated version of Triple Cross. The legal correspondence between Patrick Fitzgerald and the legal counsel for Harper Collins can be accessed here (http://www.peterlance.com/Fitzgerald_Libel_Claim_Letters_HCP_Response.pdf).

In his most recent letter to Harper Collins (June 2, 2009), Fitzgerald reiterates his earlier charges that Triple Cross "is not a book whose falsehoods are a result of mere negligence or even recklessness. Nor is it a book whose inaccuracies can be fixed by a redaction of a few offending sentences. The book is a deliberate lie masquerading as truth." This is a very sweeping charge from a prosecutor whose professional office demands the use of precise legal language. Fitzgerald's characterization of the entire book as a "deliberate lie" is especially troubling inasmuch as the author has a well-deserved reputation as a meticulous researcher, Lance's statements are well within the bounds of legally acceptable interpretation of established facts, and the book is extensively sourced with several hundred end notes and 30 pages of appendices reproducing dozens of government documents.

Triple Cross is a masterpiece of investigative journalism concerning some of the most important events in recent history impacting our national security, personal liberty, and the future of limited constitutional government. It is one of the most important books (if not the most important) published to date on the 9/11 terror attacks, especially because of Lance's ability to analyze and assimilate vast quantities of data and then present the "big picture" in a manner accessible to the non-expert. In refusing to cave in to the threats of Patrick Fitzgerald, Peter Lance and Harper Collins have performed an important civic duty. Ironically, Fitzgerald's heavy-handed efforts to squash the book may be backfiring; journalists and publishers spanning the political spectrum are speaking out against his attempt to use the intimidating power of his office for blatant censorship. The New American contacted Fitzgerald's office in Chicago for comment on this story but was informed that he was unavailable for comment. We were told that his media spokesman at the U.S. attorney's office, Randy Sanborn, would call back to answer our questions, but by the end of the day he still had not responded.

A new edition of TRIPLE CROSS: How Bin Laden's Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets, and the FBI by Peter Lance is due to be released on June 16.....
You have got to be kidding me.

Does JBS really believe that Bin Laden infiltrated US Intelligence services? Do you really believe this, or are you just posting it because it comes from a JBS operative?

JBS has this bass ackwards.

UBL did not penetrate the intelligence services, he worked for the intelligence services.

"... story of how Ali Mohamed, al-Qaeda's master spy, managed to penetrate the deepest levels of the U.S. intelligence community and provide vital assistance to Osama bin Laden's terrorist operations for years prior to the 9/11 terror attacks — while on the U.S. government's payroll."

I would like to read the facts presented by Peter Lance.

Do you know who Peter Lance is, who he works for, his family background, his educational background, his social circles, etc.? I don't know of him, but I'm curious if you do. I'd start there before diving into his "material," which maybe nothing more than misdirection.

PS. Doesn't this thesis presuppose the OBL is a terrorist and that he is responsible for 911? If it does, how can the "facts" be credible?

The JBS just reported the book is being blocked.
The book isn't written by the JBS.

I'll certainly look into the information you posted.

Nothing about 9/11 is as it appears or that the "powers that be" would have you believe, that's for sure.

Given the framing of the article, I think it is more than safe to assume that JBS is endorsing the author and his thesis.

JBS CEO Art Thompson heads out on tour beginning September 22. He will reveal the intentions, networks, and major players in the Triangle of Terror. "Exposing Terrorism: Inside the Terror Triangle" covers nearly 20 cities, beginning in Boise, Idaho.

“America is focusing too much on Islamic militants and not enough on the network of suppliers and backers,” says Mr. Thompson. “Islamic militants are only one part of the terror triangle.”

The JBS CEO says this Terrorism issue is much larger than Osama and the Islamic militants.

I haven't read the "Triple Cross" book so I don't know how far the book goes into tracing the true master minds of 9/11. I would like to see the evidence/facts of "Ali Mohamed, al-Qaeda's master spy" being on the "U.S. government's payroll."

In either case, the true story of 9/11 is being suppressed.

A sneak preview of what to expect:

JBS CEO Art Thompson reveals there is more to the war on terror than meets the eye. He discusses terrorism, how it has been used in the past, reveals the state sponsors and others in the supporting network and demonstrates how Islam is being used to mask the real culprits.
