GORDON DUFF: CRIMINAL INTENT, DEALING WITH THE FLOTILLA WAR CRIMES
DEFINING THE CRIMINALS, OUTLINING THE CRIMES
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
Rumors, always repeated in the world press, tell us that Israeli officials are curtailing travel in fear of confrontation with groups that plan ad hoc arrests for a yet to be announced war crimes tribunal. No Israeli has ever been brought to trial though many arrested, some in New York during 9/11 and Poland is holding what they believe to be one of the gang that is responsible for the Dubai assassination. Many Israeli agents, people of the likes of Jonathan Pollard, languish in prisons around the world but their handlers and co-conspirators travel the world in complete freedom, testimony to something utterly insidious regarding the nature of justice in today’s world.
The world’s criminal justice system is now faced with its biggest challenge since the end of World War 2. Political assassinations began long before Julius Caesar and ‘false flag’ attacks, really a CIA specialty, date from the beginning of time. The recent killing of nine humanitarian workers on a Turkish ship in international waters by the Israeli military is something different. By any definition this is a war crime. Even if the ship was armed, it would still be the same crime, either an act of piracy, aggressive war or a the crime of murdering civilian non-combatants. Further crimes include kidnapping, torture, illegal detention, theft of property but there is really so much more than that and countries other than Israel are totally complicit.
Immediately upon submitting to the world press a series of outlandish cover stories about terrorist trainers and “dirty bomb” nuclear weapons, the IDF began, not only compounding their own criminal acts but criminalizing others around the world, their “press assets.” The Nuremberg tribunals made it clear through the conviction and subsequent executing by hanging of Julius Streicher, Germany’s “Rupert Murdoch,” that acts meant to justify aggressive war or mass murder, even after the fact, were punishable by death. Can this door be reopened, establishing criminal culpability on the part of co-conspirators, agents every bit as guilty as those wielding the weapons, as it was after World War II?
Thus, news, albeit more entertainment than news, personnel such as Wolf Blitzer, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh along with their writers, staff, producers, news directors and corporate governance, all who openly chose to run stories providing cover for Israeli crimes, stories clearly false, not just demonstrating bias but timed and worded such as to present to any reasonable juror complicity in the act itself, may well face indictment for crimes against humanity. Their patterns of behavior had, long ago, established them as intelligence assets, having given up any real pursuits in the realm of actual journalism.
No crime would have been committed without the full understanding that complicity on the part of a controlled press and the enthusiastic participation of co-conspirators was guaranteed. No proof of prior knowledge is necessary, simply that of complicity. It is one thing for a Israel to use financial control to influence news in the US, Canada and Britain but quite something else to do so as part of a conspiracy to commit war crimes. We have moved into an entirely new area, one where “spin” is not enough. In the EU and Canada, a attorney who misrepresents facts during a trail goes to jail with his client. The current situation deeply parallels the attorney client relationship, a damning aspect of strong corporate control of the press.
Complicity in the US doesn’t stop with the media. Numerous government officials and military leaders regularly provide cover for Israel, paid through free trips, massive campaign contributions and carefully arranged business opportunities, book deals, jobs for relatives or other “perks.” The majority of the members of congress have accepted gratuities from sources tied to Israel, gratuities of all these types, intended to influence the US government to support acts such as the attack on the Freedom Flotilla.
Were politicians simply asked to support military aid or controversial policies there would be no problem. This kind of “wiggle room” has existed in politics forever although we are seeing dangerous extremes as to its application to Israeli interests. However, we now have a number of elected officials in the US openly suggesting legislation to support a war crime. Several hundred members of congress are involved in drafting and passing legislation, not in support of Israel but, in actuality, stating that the act of murder and piracy has the full support of the government and people of the United States, all without any trial or even rudimentary fact finding as stipulated by international maritime convention to which the US is a treaty signatory.
That these legislators were asked to perform these acts at the request of a foreign government brings into question their continued ability to legally hold office. That their actions are, technically, a war crime, could leave them open to arrest and prosecution, particularly if they travel outside the United States. The typical rules of conflict of interest, something normally seen by legislators as an ethics challenge, easily sidetracked through backroom deals, now mimics “foreign influence and corrupt practices,” this time against, rather than for, the United States.
It has always been expected that money, bullying and “wink and nod” conspiratorial networks that have covered for even more serious crimes such as the invasion of Iraq in 2003 would go unquestioned. Rendition and torture inquiries were sidetracked effortlessly. However, this seems to no longer be the case. Have we finally seen “the straw that breaks the camel’s back?”
There is little question that Israel planned to murder civilians, innocent humanitarian aid workers. The release of hours of films disproving all of Israel’s claims regarding the incident can’t be accidental. Any nation that can find a sewing needle in checked luggage could find, not only memory cards on a “cavity search” on prisoners held and tortured for 48 hours but find other, larger electronic mediums as well, disks, tapes and memory sticks. Yet, all such media made it through Israeli security and onto the internet.
Few admit that Israel cares nothing about Gaza. The rocket attacks Israel loves to report are, often as not, of their own origin, timed to hit the news when Israel is looking for some advantage. Since 1946, Israel has, not only ethnically cleansed Palestinian Muslims but almost totally wiped out the substantial Christian population of Palestine as well. The lucky were able to escape to refugee camps in Jordan. The majority are now very much a “part” of Greater Israel. Israel has never been shy about its own interests, not during the terror war against Britian in the late 40s which included, not only numerous bombings but the attempted assassination of the British Prime Minister and Cabinet by the Irgun. Substantial proof that the Irgun assassinated Secretary of Defense Forestall exists, part of a coordinated effort, many years ago, to eliminate all “road blocks” to the recognition of the Israeli state.
Now we either accept that Israel has gone totally mad, not only enraging the world against it but has been totally implausible in its attempts to cover its crimes, implausible to the point of “burning” assets like Fox News, that had served its needs so well.
What the world may be missing is that Israel is using the “game theory” that Jeff Gates describes so eloquently in his writing. Israel is a nuclear power, protected from sanctions by its powerful lobby in the US, wealthy beyond imagination, controlling up to 50% of the world’s money supply and is, frankly, above any international justice.
The first move in the game was forcing President Obama to remain silent on the massacre despite his “cold shoulder” to Israel recently. This was done through promising evidence of the infamous “lost nukes” being smuggled into Gaza. This is the same ploy used on Colin Powell to get him to sacrifice his dignity by presenting a shoddy cover story to the United Nations. Little did Powell know that the underlying secret he was protecting was more bogus than the lies he knowingly told.
The infamous “lost nukes” are the holy grail of “not so secret” international secrets. The current investigations of “WMDs” in the UK, this week questioning not only UN arms inspector Hans Blix but former MI-5 Chief Eliza Manningham-Buller are not attempts to ruminate further on Tony Blair’s judgement to follow Colin Powell and George W. Bush into Iraq. The Chilcot Inquiry is now looking into financial irregularities, millions of pounds of questionable contributions tied to a blackmail scheme involving real missing nuclear weapons. Documents involving lost nuclear weapons including letters from former Prime Minister Tony Blair have politicians around the United Kingdom running for cover. Complicity in illegal nuclear trade between Britain and Israel goes back as far as 1966 according to the BBC. For every witness called, three are being warned of the “Official Secrets Act” and being reminded to take a vacation.
With the “lost nukes” card crippling the Obama administration and opposition conservatives falling over themselves to clear Israel of wrongdoing, Israel feels she has a free hand for a deception operation against Iran, aimed at her real goal, elimination of Iran’s $1.5 billion dollar gas pipeline to Europe which now threatens Israel’s parallel effort that has run into snags over supply issues. If you think anyone really cares about Iran or nuclear weapons when former Soviet republics were selling nukes like candy bars back in the 90′s….
And so it goes….

A great article. Linked it.
Thank you GD.
The ultimate goal of Jewish supremacism, apparently, is to rule the world. There are many intermediate goals.
As we approach the stage of total control (Jews over Goyim), the mask has to be removed. (What good is it to rule the world if you can’t do it openly, uninhibited by a need for ever-more-burdensome propaganda, untrustworthy puppets, etc.?)
So, the last vestiges of the facade of “national sovereignty”, “international law”, “democracy”, “human rights”, etc., and all the associated lies and deceptions must give way to the hard reality of Jewish rule with an iron fist, and the concept that “might makes right”.
Thus, some things that may seem like a “blunder” (and may in fact be a “blunder” of sorts) are necessary steps along the way. IOW, it’s like turning up the heat slowly on a pot of (ultimately) boiling Frogs.
For example, Silverstein publicly alluded to demolishing WTC7 with his “pull it” remark, referring to an imaginary telephone conversation. Was this actually an incredibly stupid “blunder”, or was this an incremental assertion of unaccountable power? I believe this is a statement to anyone paying attention: “Of course we did it”. We know we did it, and you know we did it, and we know that you know that we did it. And there’s not a thing you can do about it, so get used to it.”
In this light, the more criminal and the more outrageous the behavior, i.e., the more “blunders”, the more we move psychologically to the end game of total Jewish rule.
Interesting theory, i doubt it however.
when cameras roll and nerves are tight, slips often pop out.
Although i grant Panetta’s evidence about Cheney always bothered; it looks ‘placed’ on purposes?
Well Silverstein made up the whole thing…that had to be a calculated act, IMO.
And what about the other bloody, brazen, calculated acts of depravity, e.g., “Operation Cast Lead”?
Whatever “international order” we may have had, in principle at least, they seem intent on rolling it back and replacing it with something else.
That is the saddest thing I have heard since this started. This is the act of a rogue state run amok. It processes nuclear material with no inspections, 120 people who worked on that site can’t get any compensation as what they did was a secret so they never worked there. They used phosphorous bombs on their own people. They dispossession the Palestinians based on the claim “GOD gave us this land.” They then acted like racists of the worst kind, “you are scabs, we are better than you because GOD said so”. And now killed people in international waters.
About this “GOD gave us this land!”
Now come up with a logical response to deal with that claim. There just isn’t one.
“OK then we are going to fight for space.”
What other choice did the Palestinians have? Homelessness?
This isn’t 1950, God is not a real estate agent, nuclear inspections are for everyone safety…. etc
All the sabre rattling will get the US an outcome. WW3
Have they got their head up a Jewish butt? Fair is fair, the Israelis even doctored video tape.
nuclear facilities http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sfIh3poEDc
what they did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI-rhIP612c
paint balls indeed, they doctored the video and have been uncovered http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW2R4Iw5afc
run them over & over & over http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=131650933517686&ref=mf
This is one evil lot that need to be given the strap.

Yo Rick,
I think you are right about your uncle being wrong regarding:
“The government of Israel is fullfilment of the Bible.”
I get posts from an orthodox Jewish group calling themselves Neturei Karta. They claim that the state of Israel is an abomination to g-d. They are anti zionists to the core. They are still waiting for the messiach to arrive. Their web site is nkusa.org – interesting.
According to the Christian Babble (Rev.21) after the loving, kind, and merciful, Jesus, goes on his rampage and kills everyone, except for the members of the Reverend Fred Phelps’ church in Kansas, the new and improved Jerusalem will descend from heaven. And everyone will live happily ever after. There is nothing about a new state of Israel before Jesus splashes down, at least not that I am aware of.
Shalom,
Infidel

The following article is entitled: Israel Without Cliches by Tony Judt
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/10/opinion/10judt.html/
Equalizer
Nice piece of all-too-typical exculpatory fluff for the state of Israel and its consistent agenda of “Eretz Yisrael” ethnocide, disingenuous claims of desire for peace and villification of its victims.
Some choice “cliches” reiterated by the Zio-mouthpiece are:
- “Israel is a state like any other…”:
Wrong. it is a “rogue state” holding to a claimed principle of religio-ethnic purity. Other nations save for perhaps N Korea, are pluralistic, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic entities.
- “When Israel breaks international law, it should be pressed to desist…”:
Pressed by whom exactly, the US? Europe? Well…maybe if these coddling panderers were to accidentally roll on top of Israel in bed while taking turns sleeping with them, but otherwise…
- “…it is precisely because it is a state under international law that we have that leverage.”:
Mr. Judt, did you just emerge from under a rock? Since when has Israel EVER been accountable to, let alone “under” international law? Zionist particularist supremacists hold themselves, in point of fact, ABOVE the law, and have done so since prior to the founding of the pariah state itself. Best go back and review documented history.
- “Israel is not responsible for the fact that many of its near neighbors long denied its right to exist.”:
Really Mr. Judt? Not responsible for the Irgun, Haganah and Stern Gang terrorism that paved the way for the official statehood? Not responsible for the ethnic cleansing campaigns that resulted in displacement of over 700,000 indigenous Palestinian inhabitants and the eradication of over 400 established towns to lend credence to the Zionist lie of a “Land without a people for a people without a Land”? Again, time to check your facts as real investigative journalist (and not a paid hack as you appear to be) would do.
Criminals do not have a “right” to any benefits arising from their criminal actions. Else perhaps you should argue that bank robbers be allowed to keep the ill-gotten loot of their endeavours or perhaps we can give carte blanche to property developers to burn down entire neighborhoods to claim the right to build strip malls. No, Mr. Judt. “facts on the ground” do not lend legitimacy to entities or persons when those facts are the product of criminal enterprise.
- “Terrorism is the weapon of the weak — bombing civilian targets was not invented by Arabs (nor by the Jews who engaged in it before 1948). Morally indefensible, it has characterized resistance movements of all colors for at least a century. Israelis are right to insist that any talks or settlements will depend upon Hamas’s foreswearing it.” :
Self defense (Palestinian) against genocide and planned land theft is not and never will be terrorism, no matter how many times a disingenuous controlled media throws the term around. The actions of neo-colonialist Zionist invaders – for a concerted and long exposed political agenda of unilateratist regional supremacy – ARE by definition “terrorsim”, and those actions have continued and will continue daily thanks to consistent non-reporting by Zionist propaganda rags like the NYT over much of the past 60+ years.
- “There is an Israel lobby in Washington and it does a very good job…”:
This is an understatement if ever there was one. Let us be clear that the “job” which the Israel Lobby does is neither “good” nor is it justifiable. It is subversive of our Constitutional governance and the bastion of spies for a foreign power. Those with rational and vigilant minds brand it for what it and its useful Washington puppets commit in its name, “Treason”.
- “It is one thing to denounce the excessive leverage of a lobby, quite another to accuse Jews of “running the country.” We must not censor ourselves lest people conflate the two.”
Lest people like the leading US government luminaries themselves perhaps, Mr. Judt?
I am aware how almost impossible it is in this country to carry out a foreign policy [in the Middle East] not approved by the Jews….. terrific control the Jews have over the news media and the barrage the Jews have built up on congressmen …. I am very much concerned over the fact that the Jewish influence here is completely dominating the scene and making it almost impossible to get congress to do anything they don’t approve of. The Israeli embassy is practically dictating to the congress through influential Jewish people in the country”
—–Sec. of State John Foster Dulles quoted on p.99 of Fallen Pillars by Donald Neff
or how about…
“The Israelis control the policy in the congress and the senate.”
– Senator Fullbright, Chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee: 10/07/1973 on CBS’ “Face the Nation”.
Of course there is the questionable citation of Ariel Sharon’s claimed response to Shimon Peres along the same lines, but we’ll leave that out for lack of substantive comfirmation by “mainstream” (read “controlled”) news sources. The above two quotes are verifiable enough.
- “Anti-Semitism is hatred of Jews”:
Actually that is simply endorsement of a far too long-running false desinition established by consitent effort by Zionists through their controlled and all too willing mouthpieces for generations. Anti-Semitism is hatred of semites. To be a semite one must stem from a semitic people, a semitic language and a semitic culutral mileu. Ashkenazi Jews of Indo-Turkic origin are in no way shape or form a Semitic people, Arabs and other indigenous middle eastern peoples ARE. Adherence merely to a religion of semitic origin does not make a European Jew any more semitic than it would a European Christian.
- “There have been occasions in the recent past (notably in the Soviet Union and its satellites) when “anti-Zionism” was a convenient surrogate for official anti-Semitism.”:
Only when one accepts and regurgitates the Zionist created propagandistic conflation of the two distinct terms, Mr. Judt. Since the cry of “anti-Semitism” issuing from the mouths of those who are not truly semitic is already addressed above as a falsehood, perhaps you would have the journalistic integrity to acknowledge that “Zionism” is a political ideology (indeed one held by many more non-Jews than Jews) and thus wholly open to justifiable criticism and condemnation as has been any other particularist supremacist ideology we could name.
Gordon Duff this is a fantastic article that informs the audience about the cover up of Israeli crimes and those who are involved in the couer up. You have touched the history of crime dating back to 1940′s even before the state of Israel came into being–how news writers, directors, producers, their staff and those who own the outlets along with their front men/women [Wolf Blitzer, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh et al through a well calculated and coordinated effort deceive the world to protect Israel–and many other interesting aspects of crime such as part played by the politicians who have enabled the criminal state in the cover up. This is one of the best ones you have written and thank you.
FLOTILLA ATTACK MIRRORS USS LIBERTY
By Harmony Grant Daws
17 June 10
Thanks to the internet, Israel’s terrorist attack on the Free Gaza ship, Mavi Marmara, could hardly be less publicized. Yet on June 8, 1967—43 years ago—Israeli air and sea forces attacked another ship in international waters. It was the USS Liberty, conspicuously flying its American flag in clear weather; Israel used bombs, napalm and torpedoes against it. The attack on the Liberty remains the only maritime incident involving fatalities in US history which was never investigated by Congress. The attack occurred in international waters, and reports by eyewitnesses flatly contradict the Israel-excusing narrative to which the US agreed.
This article examines stunning parallels between the Liberty attack and the recent brutal takeover of the Gaza-bound flotilla. Both attacks occurred in international waters. In both, Israel heavy-handedly silenced eyewitnesses, discredited survivors, controlled a biased investigation—after having ordered the attacks to protect an even greater crime.
Joe Meadors survived both attacks. He was aboard the Liberty in 1967 and also an activist passenger on the flotilla this June. Meadors says international waters were violated both times. The Israelis, he says, “ think they can do no wrong. Every time they speak they say they don’t break any laws, they always abide by international laws. But, they break them with impunity and the US Government is not going to hold them accountable, nobody is.”
