(Twain means “two.”) This saying is part of the refrain of “The Ballad of East and West,” a poem by Rudyard Kipling . Current Conflicts Every day, there are news reports of conflict, mostly involving localized fights, but with outside actors. As I write this, there are at least these: Ukraine war, with the US and the West supplying weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia. Biden and Victoria Nuland staged ‘the most blatant coup in history’, using Ukrainian Nazis as enforcers, the grandchild of Nazi collaborators in WWII, who had massacred hundreds of thousands. Gaza, where the US is supplying Israel to attack Palestinians. But this conflict has been going on since at least the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. The Israel Minister of Defense referred to Palestinians as ‘Human animals’, who must be eradicated. Threats of war by Israel and the United States against Iran , since it has been accused of supporting anti Western/anti Israeli terrorists, as well as developing nuclear weapons Africa, where several military coups have taken place, in opposition to French forces who were supposedly there to combat terrorists, but without success. The view prevailing among US political elites, that China is a primary threat to the USA, along with Russia, North Korea as well as non state actors, like Hezbollah, Hamas, to name a few….. What is the underlying cause of just the current conflicts? The perception of a Unipolar World dominated by a Pax Americana–peace enforced by US military, which followed the domination of much of the world by European colonialism and empire building, aka imperialism. A History of Genocides Here is a sampling of the past 500 years of Western colonialism and imperial conquest, which has resulted in countless conflicts. Two world wars, which easily resulted in well over 50 million deaths, a large percent, civilian. Numerous genocides, such as the USA and Australian genocides of their native populations, Spanish and Portuguese conquest and slaughter in South America, The transatlantic slave trade, which claimed millions of lives, The Belgian genocide in the socalled Belgian Congo, and the German genocide in Namibia, The deliberate starvation of the Irish by the British in the artificially induced ‘Potato Famine’, The deliberate starvation of 3 million Bengalese during WWII in India, engineered by Winston Churchill Academic research shows that the British were responsible for the deaths of over 100 million Indians in 40 years. Author and researcher Gideon Polya has this to say: Deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in the 1990 onwards Iraqi Holocaust (5.0-5.5 million) are commensurate with those in the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million), the WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), and the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (WW2 Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death for strategic reasons in Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Odisha by the British with food-denying Australian complicity), but much fewer than in the WW2 European Holocaust (30 million mostly Russian and other Slavic victims as well as Jewish and in Roma victims), and the WW2 Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million Chinese deaths from violence and deprivation under the Japanese, 1937-1945).For detailed listings of about 70 genocides and holocausts see “Report Genocide” [16] and my books “US-imposed post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide” [4] and “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” [17]. The Iraqi Holocaust and Iraqi Genocide [2, 4-7] was part of a wider 21st century Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide in which (as determined in 2015) 32 million Muslims died from violence (5 million) and imposed deprivation (27 million) in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity in which about 3,000 innocent Americans perished [18-20] Class of Civilizations, or Clash of Mentalities? While the phrase Clash of Civilizations has been discussed, at issue is in fact, a clash of mental frameworks. One way of looking at it is in the difference between dualistic thinking and nondualistic thinking. The Difference Between Dualistic and Nondualistic Thinking Dualistic and nondualistic thinking are two ways of understanding the world around us. At their core, these two modes of thought are concerned with the fundamental nature of reality and how we perceive and understand it. While dualistic thinking divides the world into separate and distinct categories, nondualistic thinking sees all things as interconnected and interdependent. Two Modes of Thought: Not Philosophical, But Perceptual What Is Dualistic Thinking? For example, dualistic thinking compartmentalizes reality into separate and distinct, self existent entities, each with its own distinct characteristics and properties. This mode of thought is often associated with the western philosophical tradition, which has traditionally emphasized the importance of individualism and the separation of the self from the rest of the world. Dualistic thinking is also characterized by a tendency to dichotomize the world, dividing it into opposing categories such as good and evil, right and wrong, and subject and object. What is Nondualistic Thinking Nondualistic thinking, on the other hand, sees the world as being interconnected and interdependent, with no fundamental distinction between self and other. This mode of thought is often associated with Eastern philosophical traditions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, which place a greater emphasis on the unity and interconnectedness of all things. Nondualistic thinking is characterized by a holistic and inclusive approach to the world, which sees all things as being interconnected and interdependent. It also downplays the idea of a self. Nondualism sees the self, the person as made up of infinite parts, which constantly change, so how can there be a self existent entity, since it depends on infinite factors? Here, the noted Vietnamese monk, Thich Nhat Hanh explains it well. Dualistic thinking sees the self as being separate, distinct (and too often superior to) the rest of the world. How Does Ego Come into the Picture? Ego centered thinking is the natural result of dualistic, or discriminative thinking. Western thinking has come to be dominated by “I think, therefore, I am”. Western people have a very deeply ingrained idea of their own inherent existence. This has resulted in a very self centered way of being. It’s reached such an extreme, that such maxims as “Greed is Good”, and “Whoever Dies with the Most Toys Wins”. In the past, ideas such as altruism, empathy, sympathy, and other centeredness held a much higher place in society. Because people in the West begin with the idea of themselves at the center, those in leadership positions became more and more convinced of their own correctness. Often at the expense of others. Rather than win–win, the nondualistic approach to relationships, relations have become, “what’s in it for me”, or ‘Zero Sum Game’. It’s reached the point where especially in international relations, it’s become ‘My way or the highway’, ‘Your either with us or with the terrorists’. On the other hand, Westerners deprecate non Westerners. Western people assume that non Westerners, that is, not Caucasians, are less civilized, less intelligent, less caring, and hold life in less regard. Josep Borel, now Foreign Affairs Minister for the EU, refers to Europe as The Garden, and non Europe as The Jungle. He forgets where Europe got the resources to build its garden. As an example, France used to get uranium for its nuclear reactors, to make electricity, for about a dollar a ton from Niger. Niger, with its black skinned people, has almost no electricity! However, Australians get the market price of $200/ton. So he justifies his exploitation by his racist discrimination of ‘the Other’, that is, non Europeans. The Stupidity of Arrogance One time, I went to a panel discussion, where a scientist said that ‘Animals don’t have feelings’. At the time, I thought that guy must be incredibly insensitive…He’s the one who can’t feel that animals have feelings. A common expression we hear is “USA, USA!” Most people who say that have probably never even been outside the USA to compare it with other countries. And unfortunately, even if they do, they’re too arrogant and stupid to appreciate where they are. One time, I went to the local farm in Thailand where they keep cows and offer milk straight from the cow to the public. A British guy was waiting and asked for milk in his horribly spoken unintelligible Thai. When they didn’t understand him, he got angry at them, rather than realizing it was his fault. This is typical imperialist, dualistic, egotistical thinking. As the guest in their country, where people are trained to be polite, his behavior was embarrassing. Conclusion From my observation, people in the West have an arrogant, dismissive attitude that allows them to think things like “How dare Iran want to control OUR OIL…which is in Iran.” Or why France thinks that Australians can charge $200/ton for uranium but ‘subhumans’ who live in Niger may only charge $1. Because they see the world in binary, dualistic terms, see themselves as “real” while seeing others as mere objects to be manipulated or exploited, they have no respect, and see no reason to act sincerely. We can talk about duality, non duality, ego, and so on, which are all just concepts. It really boils down to the current crisis of Consciousness, which is going on, on both interpersonal, class, intra country, our relationship to the planet, and international relations. This is especially true in the West. That is the cause of all the conflicts in the world today. A certain demographic and geographic segment of the global community has a mental problem. It’s delusional, narcissistic and destructive. However, after centuries of patience, the rest of the world has decided to put an end to this. The socalled Civilized West is going to finally get what it deserves. It will be isolated and its people will be left with the task of figuring out how it all went wrong.

Central Intelligence Agency is confirmed to have perpetrated are Project MKUltra, assassinated JFK < Back THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY: THE SHADOW ARMY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT Grant Klusmann Mar 17, 2025 An insight into the CIA's lack of accountability Many consider the Central Intelligence Agency among the most secretive organizations in the United States government. Such an organization's secrecy is understandable, considering its role in collecting intelligence worldwide. However, this secrecy has also enabled it to commit various atrocities worldwide under the guise of national security. Among the atrocities that the Central Intelligence Agency is confirmed to have perpetrated are Project MKUltra, the Central Intelligence Agency's program of human experimentation aimed at mind control using psychedelic drugs, Operation Ajax, the overthrow of the democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953, and the Phoenix Program, the program to neutralize the political infrastructure of the Viet Cong by abducting, torturing, and assassinating civilians accused of supporting communist Vietnamese forces, among others. However, many continue to express shock when the Central Intelligence Agency's critics make accusations regarding the agency's alleged culpability in other atrocities. Among the most controversial allegations directed at the agency is its alleged role in assassinating prominent Americans who stand in the way of the goals of the political establishment. When it comes to prominent Americans allegedly assassinated for standing in the way of the goals of the political establishment, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy often comes to mind. On November 22nd, 1963, an assassin's bullet killed President Kennedy while he was riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Over the decades, the long list of unanswered questions surrounding this presidential assassination has fueled speculation that it was the political establishment and their enforcers in the Central Intelligence Agency who were responsible for the killing of the American president. Such unanswered questions surrounding the death of President Kennedy include why the Warren Commission, the commission to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy, concluded that the shots that killed the president were fired from the sixth-floor window at the southeast corner of the Texas School Book Depository even though numerous witnesses claimed to have seen smoke from a grassy knoll in the northwest corner of Dealey Plaza, why the Warren Commission concluded that Kennedy's alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone even though Oswald was killed by a local nightclub owner named Jack Ruby before he could provide any helpful insight as to the details surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy, and why debris fields of blood, bone, and brain matter from President Kennedy traveled in two different directions, among other questions. Just as important as these unanswered questions surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy are the various events that transpired throughout his presidency up until his assassination. After all, these events may illuminate why many believe the Central Intelligence Agency was responsible for Kennedy's assassination. Among those who would have had the most motives and the most means to have President Kennedy assassinated was none other than Allen Dulles. He served as the first civilian director of the Central Intelligence Agency prior to resigning in the wake of the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Dulles demonstrated a remarkable capacity for callousness in his position at the Central Intelligence Agency. Before serving as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Allen and his brother, the future Secretary of State John Dulles, were partners of Sullivan and Cromwell, a corporate law firm in New York. Their clients included Krupp Steel and IG Farben, which produced the Zyklon B poison used in Nazi extermination camps. The Dulles brothers would go to great lengths to cover up their collusion with the Nazis, going so far as to shred captured Nazi records. At the end of the Second World War, Allen Dulles used his position as an Office of Strategic Services station chief in Bern to secure the escape of large amounts of Nazi war criminals. As part of Operation Sunrise, a series of secret negotiations between representatives of Nazi Germany and the United States to arrange a local surrender of German forces in northern Italy, Dulles personally snuck Schutzstaffel officers Karl Wolff and Walter Rauff to freedom. After being placed in an apartment in Rome by the Strategic Services Unit, Rauff escaped and ended up in Chile, where he became an advisor to Augusto Pinochet's brutal secret police. Eventually, Dulles would help create the Office of Policy Coordination, which Frank Wisner would head. It was at the Office of Policy Coordination that they would use millions of dollars in stolen Nazi loot to fund anti-Communist operations. They also employed Nazis and Nazi collaborators for propaganda and covert operations. In 1949, Allen Dulles co-authored the Dulles-Jackson-Correa Report, which was critical of the Central Intelligence Agency, which was established due to the National Security Act of 1947. The report was a factor in President Truman's decision to name Lieutenant General Walter Bedell Smith as the new director of central intelligence. Smith recruited Dulles into the Central Intelligence Agency to oversee the agency's covert operations as deputy director for plans, a position he held from January 4th, 1951, to August 23rd, 1951, when he was promoted to deputy director of central intelligence. After Dwight D. Eisenhower's election in 1952, Smith shifted to the Department of State, and Dulles became the first civilian director of central intelligence. Under Dulles, the Central Intelligence Agency assisted Britain's Secret Intelligence Service in overthrowing the democratically elected leader of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh, after Mosaddegh nationalized massive British oil holdings in Iran. Following this, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was installed as the leader of Iran, and it was under his rule that Iran's secret police, the Bureau for Intelligence and Security of the State, would work with the Central Intelligence Agency to create a security apparatus that tortured many Iranians unjustly accused of disloyalty. The year after the overthrow of Mosaddegh, the Central Intelligence Agency under the leadership of Dulles would overthrow another government. Before 1950, the United Fruit Company owned almost every mile of railway throughout Guatemala, the entire telephone system, and the only port on the Atlantic coast. It was also the single largest landowner in the country. The Dulles brothers had close ties to the United Fruit Company. As partners of Sullivan and Cromwell, they arranged deals for the United Fruit Company. With such close ties between the Eisenhower administration and the United Fruit Company, it would come as no surprise that it was under the Eisenhower administration that the Central Intelligence Agency would overthrow the Guatemalan government after its president, Jacobo Arbenz, proposed land reforms that were considered a threat to the interests of the United Fruit Company. Following the overthrow of Arbenz, the United States installed a colonel named Carlos Castillo Armas as the new leader of Guatemala, thus turning the Central American country into a military dictatorship. As part of this regime change operation, the Central Intelligence Agency provided military officers with manuals on how to carry out political assassinations, and they even went as far as to provide a list of targets to be eliminated. The list grew to nearly ten percent of the adult population of Guatemala. In the final days of President Eisenhower's second term, the 1960 presidential election took place, with John F. Kennedy defeating Eisenhower's vice president, Richard Nixon. To appease the Republicans still in the federal government, Kennedy would allow Republicans like J. Edgar Hoover and Allen Dulles to remain as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency directors, respectively. Dulles would undermine Kennedy's foreign policy immediately. Before Kennedy got into office, Dulles had been conspiring with the Belgians to overthrow the democratically elected prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba. Under Dulles, the Central Intelligence Agency would provide intelligence to the military forces loyal to the Central Intelligence Agency-backed future dictator Joseph Mobutu. Following the coup, Lumumba would be executed by firing squad. Kennedy would not find out about Lumumba's death for weeks after the murder. Kennedy's politics were seen as too different from those of the Republicans, who still had a strong hold over the Pentagon and Langley. The establishment came to resent Kennedy over these ideological differences. Years after Kennedy's assassination, H.R. Haldeman was the White House chief of staff under President Nixon. Haldeman is best known for his role in the Watergate scandal, as he was convicted of conspiracy, perjury, and obstruction of justice. In his post-Watergate book, The Ends of Power , Haldeman describes conversations with Nixon that were all recorded in what is known as the Watergate tapes. In the Watergate tapes, Nixon is heard trying to keep his team of conspirators from talking about the affair. Specifically, Nixon expressed a desire to ensure Central Intelligence Agency officer E. Howard Hunt was quiet due to his role in operations such as the Bay of Pigs Invasion. In one conversation between Nixon and Haldeman, Nixon instructs Haldeman on how to blackmail the Central Intelligence Agency into telling the Federal Bureau of Investigation to drop its Watergate investigation. In this conversation, Nixon states, "Of course, this Hunt, that will uncover a lot of things. You open that scab, there's a hell of a lot of things, and we just feel that it would be very detrimental to have this thing go any further. This involves these Cubans, Hunt, and a lot of hanky-panky that we have nothing to do with ourselves." Later in the conversation, Nixon tells Haldeman to say that "the president believes that it is going to open the whole Bay of Pigs thing up again." Haldeman would later clarify these remarks in his memoir when he wrote that in Nixon's references to the Bay of Pigs, he may have been referring to the Kennedy assassination. The Bay of Pigs Invasion was launched on April 17th, 1961, to oust Cuba's leader, Fidel Castro, from power. Fidel Castro came to power following a revolution against the island nation's American-backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista. Shortly after coming to power, Castro oversaw agrarian reforms and the nationalization of industries owned by American citizens, much to the chagrin of the American government. The oil embargo the United States imposed on Cuba made tensions worse. The resulting economic fallout caused Cuba to turn to America's rival at the time, the Soviet Union, for petroleum. As relations between the United States and Cuba deteriorated, plans for Castro's overthrow were drafted. Operation Zapata was the operation that would become known as the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Though it was drafted while Eisenhower was still in office, the Kennedy administration launched it after Dulles manipulated Kennedy into launching the invasion. On April 17th, 1961, CIA-trained Cuban exiles attacked Cuban shores in a poorly executed amphibious landing. By the end of the operation, most of the CIA-backed rebels would be killed or captured, and the United States had been thoroughly humiliated on the world stage. The plan had been flawed from the beginning on purpose as the military and the CIA wished to use the failed invasion to usher in a full-scale military invasion of Cuba. Admiral Arleigh Burke went so far as to go behind Kennedy's back to position naval destroyers and Marine battalions off the shores of Cuba. The military and the CIA also hoped that Kennedy would further assist the plan with air support, to which Kennedy refused. The fiasco that resulted from the Bay of Pigs Invasion caused Kennedy to distrust the CIA. Following the invasion's failure, rumors emerged within the CIA that Kennedy would commence a reduction in force, with Kennedy even being rumored to have said he wished to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds." Ultimately, Kennedy forced Dulles to resign as director of central intelligence. Dulles was not one to take being crossed kindly. On the topic of the atmosphere at the CIA at the time, Daniel Ellsberg, who later became famous for leaking the Pentagon Papers, stated, "There was virtually a coup atmosphere in Pentagon circles. Not that I had the fear there was about to be a coup — I just thought it was a mood of hatred and rage. The atmosphere was poisonous, poisonous." When the elderly E. Howard Hunt, the CIA operative referenced by Nixon in the Watergate tapes, believed he was dying; his son Saint John visited him at his home in Miami. It was there that Saint John asked his ailing father to open up about his activities as an intelligence operative before he passed away. Saint John never believed his father's story of where he was when Kennedy was assassinated. Though E. Howard Hunt had testified to Congress that he was in Washington D.C. when President Kennedy was killed; Dorothy, the mother of Saint John, told her son that his father was actually in Dallas at the time of the assassination. After asking his father about the matter for years, E. Howard Hunt finally obliged. Saint John would fly to South Florida to have his last conversations with his dying father. Hunt told his son that in 1963, he had been invited to a secret meeting attended by numerous CIA operatives connected to the agency's anti-Castro operations. These included future Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis and David Morales. Morales was the chief of operations at the largest CIA station in Miami, JMWAVE. The operatives were gathered to discuss an operation, but Hunt realized quickly that the operation was the assassination of President Kennedy. According to Hunt, Morales and Sturgis referred to Kennedy's assassination as "the big event." Morales is said to have told Hunt that he had been picked for the operation by Bill Harvey, a CIA officer who oversaw many assassination plots against Castro and who had also served as chief of station in Rome. According to Harvey's deputy in Rome, F. Mark Wyatt, when the news broke about Kennedy's assassination, Harvey's reaction indicated that he had prior knowledge of an assassination plot against Kennedy. In addition, Wyatt also claimed that Harvey traveled to Dallas in November of 1963. Furthermore, the prosecutor for the House of Representatives committee that investigated Kennedy's assassination from 1976 to 1978, Dan Hardway, stated, "I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Harvey was in Dallas in November 1963, we considered Harvey to be one of our prime suspects from the very start. He had all the key connections — to organized crime, to the CIA station in Miami where the plots against Castro were run, to other prime CIA suspects like David Phillips. We tried to get Harvey's travel voucher and security file from the CIA, but they always blocked us. But we did come across a lot of memos that suggested he was traveling a lot in the months leading up to the assassination." Additionally, there are doubts as to whether or not the shots that killed Kennedy were Lee Harvey Oswald's. The telescopic sight on the rifle allegedly used by Oswald was installed for a left-handed shooter. During the Warren Commission, Oswald's brother John testified that Lee was right-handed. Also, when Sebastian Latona, a fingerprint expert with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, dusted the alleged murder weapon for fingerprints, he was unable to develop any. Perhaps most convincing that Oswald was not the one who fired the shot that killed Kennedy is the fact that both surgeons who operated on Kennedy believed the president to have been shot in the front as well as the rear and that both surgeons reportedly came under intense pressure to remain quiet about their observations. Equally as suspicious as the circumstances surrounding Kennedy's assassination is the immediate aftermath of the event. Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby two days after being arrested for Kennedy's assassination. Some believe that Ruby killed Oswald as a means of silencing him. The Warren Commission would be established to investigate Kennedy's assassination. The individual whom future CIA director Richard Helms recommended that Kennedy's successor, President Lyndon B. Johnson, appoint to the Warren Commission to prevent any agency secrets from getting out was none other than Allen Dulles, to which Johnson agreed. One of the individuals who would have had the most motives and the most means to have President Kennedy assassinated was now one of the commissioners investigating the assassination. The investigation was tainted from the start. With this, the question of whether or not the Central Intelligence Agency assassinated President Kennedy remains. Based on the evidence presented in this article, it would seem to many as though it is both possible and plausible that the agency's elite would have had the motivation and the means to eliminate a figure like Kennedy as he became something of a thorn in the side of both the CIA as well as the establishment as a whole. However, assuming that the CIA indeed assassinated Kennedy, who is to say there have not been more prominent Americans whom this shadowy organization has neutralized for daring to stand in the way of the establishment's objectives?

< Back THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY: THE SHADOW ARMY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT Grant Klusmann Mar 17, 2025 An insight into the CIA's lack of accountability Many consider the Central Intelligence Agency among the most secretive organizations in the United States government. Such an organization's secrecy is understandable, considering its role in collecting intelligence worldwide. However, this secrecy has also enabled it to commit various atrocities worldwide under the guise of national security. Among the atrocities that the Central Intelligence Agency is confirmed to have perpetrated are Project MKUltra, the Central Intelligence Agency's program of human experimentation aimed at mind control using psychedelic drugs, Operation Ajax, the overthrow of the democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953, and the Phoenix Program, the program to neutralize the political infrastructure of the Viet Cong by abducting, torturing, and assassinating civilians accused of supporting communist Vietnamese forces, among others. However, many continue to express shock when the Central Intelligence Agency's critics make accusations regarding the agency's alleged culpability in other atrocities. Among the most controversial allegations directed at the agency is its alleged role in assassinating prominent Americans who stand in the way of the goals of the political establishment. When it comes to prominent Americans allegedly assassinated for standing in the way of the goals of the political establishment, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy often comes to mind. On November 22nd, 1963, an assassin's bullet killed President Kennedy while he was riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Over the decades, the long list of unanswered questions surrounding this presidential assassination has fueled speculation that it was the political establishment and their enforcers in the Central Intelligence Agency who were responsible for the killing of the American president. Such unanswered questions surrounding the death of President Kennedy include why the Warren Commission, the commission to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy, concluded that the shots that killed the president were fired from the sixth-floor window at the southeast corner of the Texas School Book Depository even though numerous witnesses claimed to have seen smoke from a grassy knoll in the northwest corner of Dealey Plaza, why the Warren Commission concluded that Kennedy's alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone even though Oswald was killed by a local nightclub owner named Jack Ruby before he could provide any helpful insight as to the details surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy, and why debris fields of blood, bone, and brain matter from President Kennedy traveled in two different directions, among other questions. Just as important as these unanswered questions surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy are the various events that transpired throughout his presidency up until his assassination. After all, these events may illuminate why many believe the Central Intelligence Agency was responsible for Kennedy's assassination. Among those who would have had the most motives and the most means to have President Kennedy assassinated was none other than Allen Dulles. He served as the first civilian director of the Central Intelligence Agency prior to resigning in the wake of the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Dulles demonstrated a remarkable capacity for callousness in his position at the Central Intelligence Agency. Before serving as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Allen and his brother, the future Secretary of State John Dulles, were partners of Sullivan and Cromwell, a corporate law firm in New York. Their clients included Krupp Steel and IG Farben, which produced the Zyklon B poison used in Nazi extermination camps. The Dulles brothers would go to great lengths to cover up their collusion with the Nazis, going so far as to shred captured Nazi records. At the end of the Second World War, Allen Dulles used his position as an Office of Strategic Services station chief in Bern to secure the escape of large amounts of Nazi war criminals. As part of Operation Sunrise, a series of secret negotiations between representatives of Nazi Germany and the United States to arrange a local surrender of German forces in northern Italy, Dulles personally snuck Schutzstaffel officers Karl Wolff and Walter Rauff to freedom. After being placed in an apartment in Rome by the Strategic Services Unit, Rauff escaped and ended up in Chile, where he became an advisor to Augusto Pinochet's brutal secret police. Eventually, Dulles would help create the Office of Policy Coordination, which Frank Wisner would head. It was at the Office of Policy Coordination that they would use millions of dollars in stolen Nazi loot to fund anti-Communist operations.

Hezbollah General Secretary Hassan Nasrallah was killed by “Israeli” bombers was still “two to three times normal background radiation” < Back WAS HASSAN NASRALLAH NUKED Dr. Robert Daly, American Peace Information Council Mar 3, 2025 Radioactivity, as measured by Geiger counter readings, at the site where Hezbollah General Secretary Hassan Nasrallah was killed by “Israeli” bombers was still “two to three times normal background radiation” on December 20, 2024, a full 85 days after the September 27 bombing that killed Nasrallah, according to a Technical Report produced earlier this month by Dr. Jihad Abboud, President of The Lebanese Chemists Syndicate and Dr. Robert Daly, Chair of The American Peace Information Council and a representative of Green Audit UK. “A few hundred meters from the site…we found normal background radiation in the range of 0.07 to 0.1 μS/h,” reads the report. “As we approached the Nasrallah bombing site the reading steadily increased to 0.27 to 0.32 μS/h at the site itself.” (μS abbreviates microSievert. The Sievert is defined as the probability of causing radiation-induced cancer and genetic damage. If the reading is 1 Sievert, that probability is 50 percent.) “At a filled-in bomb crater about 50 meters from the Nasrallah site,” the Report continues, “we also found high radiation readings, about 0.27 μS/h, which increased both as we brought the Geiger counter closer to the ground, and as we dug away some earth from the top of the filled-in bomb crater.” There is always a level of so-called “background” radiation anywhere in the world. A reading significantly in excess of background, such as we have here, is extraordinary and calls for explanation. The clearest explanation here is that the radiation is a result of “Israeli” bombs exploding at the sites. Dr. Christopher Busby—Scientific Secretary, European Committee on Radiation Risk and founder of Green Audit UK—warned of abnormal radioactivity readings as a result of “Israeli” bombings in an article in Al Mayadeen September 16, 2024. That article first made public the ongoing investigation, of which the Technical Report is the first official result. Busby wrote: “In 2021, a scientific report in the prestigious journal Nature confirmed what I had been saying since 2006 . "Israel" has, since its attacks on Lebanon in 2006 and those on Gaza in 2008 and 2014, used a new nuclear weapon, one which kills with a high temperature radiation flash and with neutrons. This weapon, which leaves an identification footprint, but no fission products like Caesium-137, we now know was also employed by the USA in Fallujah, Iraq in 2003, and previously in Kosovo also.” In my September 23, 2024 article, “‘New Type of Nuclear Weapon’ Strikes Lebanon,” in The Revolution Report, Busby concluded, “The explosions appear to be of nuclear warheads of the ‘cold fusion’ type…These are neutron bombs: they are clean and undetectable at any distance. There is no fallout. Only a moderate increase in radiation near the crater.”' These neutron bombs are undoubtedly used in combination with conventional explosives. Dr. Busby advises Lebanese who live in the vicinity of the site where Nasrallah died, to wear N95 respirator masks there when outside their homes. These so-called “neutron bombs” are US-manufactured explosives and have been used in Iraq and Yugoslavia by the U.S. Army. Moreover, of all the air strikes made upon Lebanon during the September-November 2024 intense war, “only 20 percent were flown by ‘Israeli’ pilots,” Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal claimed on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s podcast Judging Freedom. The remaining air strikes had to have been flown by US and other NATO pilots deployed by the US Defense Department’s Pentagon. Furthermore, a Pentagon command and control aircraft coordinated the air strikes on Nasrallah. All that signifies that Nasrallah was killed by pilots and aircraft deployed by the same Pentagon personnel who collaborated with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun when he was commander-in-chief of the Lebanese armed forces up until January 2025. Was Aoun informed of the upcoming attack on Nasrallah before it occurred and did not warn the Hezbollah General Secretary? We used a GQ GMC 800 Geiger counter. We thank journalist Yvonne Anwar Souaiby for leading Dr. Abboud and I to the site in Dahiye and collaborating with us in the collection of data. Previous Next 2022-2024 The Revolution Report
