WASHINGTON, July 20 (RIA Novosti) - A former Reagan official has issued a public warning that the Bush administration is preparing to orchestrate a staged terrorist attack in the United States, transform the country into a dictatorship and launch a war with Iran within a year.
Paul Craig Roberts, a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, blasted Thursday a new Executive Order, released July 17, allowing the White House to seize the assets of anyone who interferes with its Iraq policies and giving the government expanded police powers to exercise control in the country.
Roberts, who spoke on the Thom Hartmann radio program, said: "When Bush exercises this authority [under the new Executive Order], there's no check to it. So it really is a form of total, absolute, one-man rule."
"The American people don't really understand the danger that they face," Roberts said, adding that the so-called neoconservatives intended to use a renewal of the fight against terrorism to rally the American people around the fading Republican Party.
Old-line Republicans like Roberts have become increasingly disenchanted with the neoconservative politics of the Bush administration, which they see as a betrayal of fundamental conservative values.
According to a July 9-11 survey by Ipsos, an international public opinion research company, President Bush and the Republicans can claim a mere 31 percent approval rating for their handling of the Iraq war and 38 percent for their foreign policy in general, including terrorism.
"The administration figures themselves and prominent Republican propagandists ... are preparing us for another 9/11 event or series of events," he said. "You have to count on the fact that if al Qaeda is not going to do it, it is going to be orchestrated."
Roberts suggested that in the absence of a massive popular outcry, only the federal bureaucracy and perhaps the military could put constraints on Bush's current drive for a fully-fledged dictatorship.
"They may have had enough. They may not go along with it," he said.
The radio interview was a follow-up to Robert's latest column, in which he warned that "unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the U.S. could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran."
Roberts, who has been dubbed the "Father of Reaganomics" and has recently gained popularity for his strong opposition to the Bush administration and the Iraq War, regularly contributes articles to Creators Syndicate, an independent distributor of comic strips and syndicated columns for daily newspapers.

Pentagon: â??Public Discussionâ?? Of Iraq Withdrawal â??Reinforces Enemy Propagandaâ?? [align=left] Think Progress
Friday July 20, 2007[/align]
[align=left]On May 23, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) sent a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates urging him to â??prepare plans for the phased redeployment of U.S. forces.â?� [/align]

Given the express will of the Congress to implement a phased redeployment of United States forces from Iraq and the importance of proper contingency planning to achieve that goal, I write to request that you provide the appropriate oversight committees in Congress - including the Senate Armed Services Committee - with briefings on what current contingency plans exist for the future withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. Alternatively, if no such plans exist, please provide an explanation for the decision not to engage in such planning.

Clinton said she conveyed similar concerns in a private meeting with Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Peter Pace, and has publicly warned the administration that redeployment is â??complicatedâ?� and â??If theyâ??re not planning for it, it will be difficult to execute it in a safe and efficacious way.â?�

On Monday, Clinton received a â??biting replyâ?� from Under Secretary of Defense Eric Edelman, who told Clinton that â??public discussionâ?� of withdrawal is inappropriate:

Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia. â?¦ [S]uch talk understandably unnerves the very same Iraqi allies we are asking to assume enormous personal risks.

Edelman is directly contradicted by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who testified that debate over Iraq redeployment has been â??helpful in bringing pressure to bear on the Maliki government.â?� Additionally, these â??very same Iraqi alliesâ?� arenâ??t unnerved by talk of redeployment, but overwhelmingly favor it â?? 71 percent of Iraqis want the U.S. troops to withdraw within a year.

[align=left] Former Reagan Official: Bush May Stage False Flag Events To Reinstate Draft
"Would a government that has lied us into two wars and is working to lie us into an attack on Iran shrink from staging "terrorist" attacks in order to remove opposition to its agenda?" asks Roberts [/align]

Former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration Paul Craig Roberts has gone further than ever before, warning that the Bush administration could be about to stage false flag events and terror attacks in order to reinstate the draft, announce a dictatorship and attack Iran.
Roberts has been dubbed the "Father of Reaganomics" and is also a former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Scripps Howard News Service.
In his weekly syndicated column , Roberts suggests that unfolding events and the nature of the rhetoric emanating from government quarters suggests that a major staged terror attack could be just around the corner.
"Ask yourself: Would a government that has lied us into two wars and is working to lie us into an attack on Iran shrink from staging "terrorist" attacks in order to remove opposition to its agenda?" writes Roberts.

If the Bush administration wants to continue its wars in the Middle East and to entrench the "unitary executive" at home, it will have to conduct some false flag operations that will both frighten and anger the American people and make them accept Bush's declaration of "national emergency" and the return of the draft. Alternatively, the administration could simply allow any real terrorist plot to proceed without hindrance.
A series of staged or permitted attacks would be spun by the captive media as a vindication of the neoconsevatives' Islamophobic policy, the intention of which is to destroy all Middle Eastern governments that are not American puppet states. Success would give the US control over oil, but the main purpose is to eliminate any resistance to Israel's complete absorption of Palestine into Greater Israel.
Think about it. If another 9/11-type "security failure" were not in the works, why would Homeland Security czar Chertoff go to the trouble of convincing the Chicago Tribune that Americans have become complacent about terrorist threats and that he has "a gut feeling" that America will soon be hit hard?

Roberts concludes that coming "terrorist" events within the next year will be the means for overthrowing constitutional democracy unless Congress moves to impeach Bush and Cheney immediately.
Roberts' warning is dovetailed by a series of high profile individuals expressing the need for more terror as the only recourse for saving a doomed foreign policy and reversing anti-war sentiment in the U.S. that is now dominating the country.

In a July 8 Toronto Star piece , Lt.-Col. Doug Delaney, chair of the war studies program at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, said that "The key to bolstering Western resolve is another terrorist attack like 9/11 or the London transit bombings of two years ago."
"If nothing happens, it will be harder still to say this [the occupation of Iraq] is necessary," he added.
Delaney's comments are in a similar vein to former Republican Senator Rick Santorum's statements to a radio show last weekend, in which he said that "unfortunate events" would occur along the lines of the recent car bomb attempts in the UK, that will change American's views of the war.
Last month, the new chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party Dennis Milligan said that there needed to be more attacks on American soil for President Bush to regain popular approval.
Yearning for more terror was also explicitly expressed in a 2005 GOP memo , which hankered for new attacks that would "validate" the President's war on terror and "restore his image as a leader of the American people."
It seems painfully clear that the Neo-Cons are still obsessed with the notion of using staged terror as the only ultimate means of facilitating their dark agenda, and that thousands and potentially millions of Americans could be about to pay with their lives to realize such a nightmare.

[align=left] Newt: Anyone Who Believes 9/11 Was Not an Enemy Attack is Insane
"Anyone" Includes High-Level Military Intelligence Heads Who Think Inside Job
Aaron Dykes / JonesReport.com | July 20,2007

Newt Gingrich responded to questions about former high level military officials who believe 9/11 was an inside job by WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com reporters.[/align]
[align=left]Newt responded, "Anyone who believes 9/11 was not an enemy attack is insane." [/align]
[align=left]The former Speaker of the House clarified that it included formal officials such as retired Major General Albert Stubblebine III, who was commanding general of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Bob Bowman, former head of the Star Wars program under President Reagan, who both doubt the official 9/11 account.[/align]

[align=left]Gingrich's dismissal of 9/11 truth is no surprise given that he was a panelist at the September 14, 2001 press conference at the Council on Foreign Relations when Gary Hart infamously said that, "There is a chance for the President of the United States to use this disaster [the very recent September 11 attacks] to carry out what his father-- a phase his father used I think only once and hasn't been used since-- and that is a New World Order." [/align]
[align=left]Newt Gingrich spoke almost entirely at the book signing event on July 19, 2007 about the threat of terror, al Qaeda, the need to win in Iraq and other related subjects-- more or less on par for the neo-con fear mongering usually devised by Gingrich.[/align]

[align=left]BOHEMIAN GROVE [/align]
[align=left]The reporters also asked Gingrich about whether he had attended Bohemian Grove. He replied, "I'm not there, I'm here." As the summer camp at Bohemian Grove is currently underway, he is clearly pointing out that he isn't attending this year, though he has been before (see picture below circa 1995). [/align]
[align=left]His acknowledgment of the Grove is telling in light of the traditional secrecy surrounding it. [/align]

Chertoff Predicts Simultaneous LA-San Francisco Dirty Bombs [align=left] George Washington's Blog
Saturday July 21, 2007[/align]
Someone I know attended a talk which Homeland Security Head Michael Chertoff gave today at the University of Southern California on port and supply-chain security and public infrastructure protection.
My contact reported to me today by email that Chertoff spoke about more "gut feelings" that he (Chertoff) has about a simultaneous Los Angeles / San Francisco dirty bomb attack that "our enemy is surely planning".
I've had a hunch for a long time that the next false flag attack will be on the West Coast, so that it seems that the whole country is under attack, and not just the East Coast.

yea i too have been expecting something on the west coast... makes me hesitant to move back out there. then again, moving to Manhatton is never going to be an easy decision again.

What is the fucking world coming to.
