[NYTr] 9/11-2B: American Nightmare & Neocon Fantasy

[All the News That Doesn't Fit]

This guy writes for the Texas Iconoclast as well as other outlets. Not
sure where he is designated "military correspondent" but  his points
are well taken. This game goes at least as far back as Operation
Northwoods, a 1960s false-flag op planned to instigate US support for an
attack on Cuba.  Some conspiracists would say it goes as far back as
Pearl Harbor. For more on the Bykofsky piece see,  among others:

911-2B: American Nightmare & Neocon Fantasy

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
 - George Santayana

By Captain Eric H. May 
Military Correspondent

I don't know whether Stu Bykofsky, neocon columnist for Philadelphia
Daily News, has been reading my last four weekend columns, warning
of a Bush administration false flag 911-2B attack this summer, but
in his August 9 rendering, "To save America, we need another 9/11,"
he makes it clear that such an attack would suit him just fine:

"America's fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.  What would
sew us back together?  Another 9/11 attack...  It will take another
attack on the homeland to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to
restore America's righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail."

His thoughts are hardly novel.  They are a variant of a July 9,
2004 column by Washington Post quasi-Nazi Charles Krauthammer, the
neocon Dr. Strangelove.  In "Blixful Amnesia," Krauthammer lambasted
UN weapons inspector Hans Blix, French 9/11 investigator Thierry
Meyssan, filmmaker Michael Moore and Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney
for thought crimes as simple as lefty paranoia, or as awful as
conspiracy theory.  By failing to follow through on the Global War,
and forgetting the post-9/11 reality, they were setting us up to
be struck again:

"There is no gradualness and there are no countermeasures to a dozen
nuclear warheads detonating simultaneously in U.S. cities."

Strategic Overview:  The Winds of World War

The word is out among our power elite that Bush will nuke proto-nuclear
Iran as a favor to mega-nuclear Israel and the all-powerful U.S.
Jewish Lobby before he leaves office after the 2008 elections.
There's no time like the present, though, and as our "unitary
executive" crawls into Crawford, nursing the wounds of a sub-30
approval rating and increasing defections among his Republican
elite, he still has cause to celebrate his war presidency.

The Congress and the courts have assented to and allowed a shocking
expansion of his powers.  Since May they have been silent about the
ominous National Security Presidential Directive 51, which allows
him to establish dictatorial powers in the event of a catastrophe
like Katrina or 911-2B.  Last summer Congress passed his Military
Commissions Act giving him the power to overturn habeas corpus and
torture citizens -- something even the original King George couldn't
do.  This summer before leaving for vacation, Congress granted him
power to engage in warrant-less domestic spying.  Under intense
pressure from AIPAC, they have left intact the War Powers Act,
thereby tacitly assenting to an attack against Iran.  Worst of all,
they have forsaken impeachment, the only way available to straighten
out this most crooked of administrations, which is now beginning
to hint that it might just take a draft to continue to wage the
Global War.

To most of the American people, spoon fed their "reality" by a
neocon mass media, the bulked up executive branch seems to be merely
a case of government protection against diabolical terrorists.  The
rest of the world, though, sees it differently.  To them it looks
like mobilization by a predatory -- many say "fascist" -- United
States, which is hell-bent on stifling domestic dissent while
conquering and controlling the Middle East, with the help of its
war partners the U.K, and Israel.

As in physics, so in geopolitics:  our actions have brought about
unsettling reactions.

Russia, whose president Vladimir Putin likens our policies to those
of the Nazis, has recently resumed Cold War strategic bomber
overflights of non-Russian territory.  Notably, they have ventured
near to our strategic air base in Guam, where the U.S. Air Force
is practicing B-1 and B-2 bombing missions for strikes on Iran.
China has joined its voice to Russia's in calling for us to leave
Iran alone, and they have joined their troops to Russian troops in
an ongoing military exercise intended to show us they mean business.

Israel has been preparing for a summer war with Syria as an attempt
to compensate for their humiliating failure last summer against
Lebanon.  Syria and Iran are in various stages of mobilization
against Israel, and the United States, which they consider its
puppet.  All sides agree that we are one spark away from World War
Three, and as shown above, the neocon side is hoping it will happen.

It may happen in Portland...

The Portland Nuke

If ever a military exercise was meant to cause unrest, it would be
Noble Resolve, an August 20-24 command post exercise with its
headquarters in Virginia, which entails a simulated nuclear strike
on Portland.  In recent weeks, military officials involved in Noble
Resolve have promised answers -- then failed to deliver.  Through
Internet sources I have learned that various Oregon state agencies
are involved in Noble Resolve through an outpost in the state capitol
of Salem -- but national authorities refuse to disclose which
particular agencies.

Oregon National Guard sources confirm that they will be taking part
in Noble Resolve, but are sketchy on just what their role may be.
One anonymous source speculated that they might be practicing for
the imposition of martial law in Portland.  Another source relates
that a dozen F-16 fighter aircraft are currently positioned in
Portland's PDX airport.

Noble Resolve has been the focus of my last four columns, and anyone
wanting to know as much as is publicly available should begin with
my last one, August 13, Staging the Portland Nuke (A Comedy of
Terrors)  http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/07/08/13/may.htm  To the
lower right of the column they'll find links to my previous three
Noble Resolve pieces.

On August 16, I gave two radio updates on the pending nuke exercise.
The first, a half-hour Portland interview with KBOO journalist,
Theresa Mitchell, is available online as "Capt. May interview /
Noble Resolve pt. 4: Death Map"  http://www.kboo.fm/node/3743  The
other was a two-hour national interview with Scholars for 911 Truth
founder Dr. Jim Fetzer, and is available through Genesis Communications
Network (GCN).

As a result of all the attention brought to Noble Resolve by
Oregonians, Portlanders, KBOO radio and Internet journalist, the
hush-hush exercise will now take place with a high level of public
scrutiny.  That's a good thing, because the closer we come to
Portland's nuclear exercise the more I am reminded of the near-miss
nuke in Texas City, just south of Houston.

Texas City Treason

In late January of 2006, my Houston-area associates and I, many of
us serving or veteran military or police officers, became convinced
that the Bush administration and British Petroleum intended to
destroy the BP, Texas City, refinery with a false flag nuclear
attack.  Accordingly, I began giving interviews to interested radio
show hosts and journalists with the claim, deemed exorbitant by
some, that Bush would use "nuclear simulation exercises" (much like
Noble Resolve) based in Virginia to carry out the attack.  From an
economic point of view, demolition of the BP refinery -- the most
polluted spot in North America -- made sense.  Its owners would get
rid of a white elephant, needing billions of dollars in repairs.

In the Internet community where my work was widely followed, about
half considered my analysis inspired, and another half considered
it insane.  Events documented both by alternative and mainstream
media proved my premise, though:  although the Virginia-based nuke
exercise made no mention of any Texas City component, it turned out
that the Department of Defense had positioned a WMD team around
Texas City within our target time zone, and had set up a secret
operations center in nearby Galveston.

Four articles by journalist Greg Szymanski, written between January
25 and February 3, detailed and developed the false flag attempt:

Jan. 25, 2006:  All Signposts Lead To Imminent Nuclear Attack In
America: Intel Army Capt. Eric May Issues 'Red Alert' For Next 9
Days For Texas City-Houston Area.  Capt. May claims to have broken
the Illuminati and Bush Cabal's "embedded code" in an effort to
beat the neocons at their own nasty game. Capt. May may have thwarted
one attempted nuclear attack last July, but says the Bush Cabal is
coming back again for a second try.

he warns local law enforcement about the possibility of nuclear

Feb. 3, 2006:  Texas City British Petroleum Employee Heard "Strange
Abort Signal" on Local Radio Station The Morning Army Intel Officer
Predicted Nuclear Strike At Plant.  BP employee also said "other
strange events" occurred, leaving her "nervous and on edge." Galveston
Daily News follows up with story, finding WMD military support team
was conducting a training session at a location near Texas City.
http://www.arcticbeacon.com/articles/3-Feb-2006.html

The Galveston County Daily News had attempted to stonewall the story
of our prediction and Texas City's peril (much as The Oregonian has
attempted to stonewall the story of Noble Resolve), but the appearance
of special nuclear forces so far confirmed our warnings that they
had to write a story, albeit apologetic and deceptive, to acknowledge
the bare facts, even while trying to disguise the conclusions the
public had drawn from those facts.  Although the Daily News withdrew
and archived its poorly entitled "Nuclear attack warning story
dismissed," Texas City minister Jon Watkins, a main figure in the
story, cyber-published both the article and his clarifying remarks:

On February 2, the same day the Daily News story ran, I posted a
widely published interview with Canadian journalist Lenny Bloom,
who (along with Greg Szymanski) had constantly followed and broadcast
the developing story of the Texas City Treason:
