Europe Turns a Blind Eye to the CIA

EU governments are ignoring the CIA’s transportation of terror suspects to torture sites

By Tony Wesolowsky

Thirteen members of an E.U. Parliament probe arrived in Washington on May 10, seeking answers to allegations of CIA-operated secret flights and prisons in Europe. A reported 1,000 CIA flights have secretly crisscrossed Europe since 9/11, often transporting “terror suspects” to be interrogated in other countries, such as Egypt, where prisoners are routinely tortured. But when the Europeans came calling… return to article

    “The rendition programs of the CIA are not being openly criticized by the E.U. intelligence community because the E.U. countries fear that the U.S. will cease to share information.”

    --OR--

    Because the EU intelligence services collude with CIA, as they did in Operation Gladio, to futher the aims of this fraudulent War on Terror.

    The author accepts that the aim of the CIA “renditions” is to fight against terrorism, rather than as a means of hiding the CIA’s support OF terrorism.  CIA, MI6, Mossad and others acrively support terrorist networks, and having these operations remain secret is a requirement.  That way, when they release the captured terror agents to go on their merry terror making way, the custody and incarceration cannot be traced back to the intelligence services.

    While readliy admitting to things like Gladio (Bologna train station bombing killed 85 innocent citizens, fraudulently blamed on leftist radicals), and about the murky unkown nature of these intelligence agencies, the author fails to examine the connections between the intelligence services and terrorist networks. 

    How about MI6 hiding and protecting Aswat, the “mastermind” behind the London 7/7 bombings?

    How about the US military giving arms to the KLA in Kosovo, arming the Jihadist Macedonian terrorists in 1999?

    The Madrid bombings directly connected to “police informants” synonymous with “Al Qaeda?”

    The list is a long one.  The unifying principle is that the intelligence agencies (who allowed the 9-11 hijackers to enter and exit the USA repeatedly, even though they were using their own names and were on watchlists for years), are not fighting AGAINST terrorism.  Rather, the intelligence services actively collude to create terrorist incidents, which increase their power and influence, and sway the world’s populations into giving up liberty for their false “security.”

    These are the great questions of our age.  We are de facto at the mercy of men in the shadows whose loyalty is not to the citizens they are charged with protecting, but with the powerful interests that reign over us. 

    This new fascism is being ushered in under the banner of counterterrorism.  The terrorism itself is manufactured by the opportunists in power.  It has been a long road to this “war on terror”.  Over decades they learned that the attacks needed to be more “spectacular” and deadly to achieve the desired effects. 

    The Oklahoma Federal Building bombing was part of this War Of Terror, which can be easily proven by examining the investigation of Air Force General Ben Partin.

    The first World Trade Center bomb in 1993 was provided by the FBI!  This was revealed by their own provocateur operative (An Egyption officer), at the trial of the patsies, and published by the NY Times.  The bomb was supposed to be an inert non-exploding variety.  The FBI, however, thought it would be a better idea to supply a real, live bomb that killed several people.

    The use of provocateurs, such as the “Al Qaeda” person who entrapped the group in Miami recently, is standard practice.  Having this dangerous standard practice which can always go awry (as in the 93 WTC incident) is very convenient for the satanic individuals in the intelligence game who approve these terror acts.  The line between counterterrorism and terrorism is blurred and able to be manipulated by evil, evil men.
