This topic indirectly relates to that anti-New World Order stuff and the dangers posed to peace by especially Israel. I was looking up a Swedish doctor friend of mine from many years ago and came across this far-flung article which examines a chilling trend.
Dated Jan 21, 2010, the essay caught my attention immediately. I vaguely remembered the story that the main protagonist, the late Swedish Foreign Minister, Anna Lindh, a very rare fair politician regarding Middle East policy, had been shockingly killed.
The article is probably aimed at Swedes, as it assumes a familiarity with Swedish history.
What I recommend is looking up on a google search, for example wikipedia, to get background on Anna Lindh either before or after reading the article.
I feel it's very educational too to read up a little on Swedish figures, for North Americans tend to be so uninterested and quite ignorant of current events in many leading foreign countries. Sweden is way off the radar for almost every American, not considered worthy of reporting news or studying its history. Few have heard the name of the famous statesman Olaf Palme mentioned here, for example.
Not only on this subject, but in general, it's refreshing to look at the point of view of other peoples, nations and cultures to get a far more realistic perspective on today's world than is portrayed by Hollywood films or "the "controlled American media" as the article's author accurately calls the mainstream U.S. media. His own writing is not as clear as it could be; I corrected a few typos too.
But the assertions made by the author, a PhD of whom I know nothing else, are worth considering for any people interested in an alleged intertwining of abnormal psychology, international politics, espionage and an appallingly below board method of getting rid of the perceived enemies of a few nations. Likewise, little known details of the lead-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq emerge, if this author's facts and theory do prove right.
The article below kindles awareness of what, if true, may be a frightening problem regarding a way out of control Israeli intelligence.
[Aside: my feeling is that the series of novels of the American writer Daniel Silva [a convert to Judaism according to his web site] which glorify Israeli assassins as great heroes were a plant by Mossad to prepare English-speaking readers to support such barbaric deeds past, present and - hopefully NOT! - future.
If anyone is unfamiliar with those travesties dubbed bestsellers, don't bother even picking up one! It's trash churned out by Mossad to create an image of their secret agents, especially those trained to carry out assassinations of foreign leaders seen by them as inconvenient to Tel Aviv's policies as handsome, dashing, chaste, virtuous in personal life, charming, suave, and friendly with the Vatican [to win over otherwise skeptical Catholics, no doubt!]. A few small imperfections are allowed by Daniel Silva to his assassin hero. Those are carefully emphasized so readers can not complain that the Israeli intelligence operatives and their supervisors are inhumanly perfect.
I would never read such garbage. But having never heard of them, I was taken in by the cover photo of the latest of these novels. The shining domes and scalloped arches or whatever they're called of the Cathedral of Archangel Michael in the Moscow Kremlin together with the title, The Defector, seemed worth a glance. The defector is a Russian, which sounded at least a little intriguing. But this character is fleshed out as fully as a piece of cardboard. In my opinion, that figure is merely a stage prop to teach readers how professionally dazzling are Mossad's trained assassins. Talk about Silva Mind Control, these books are not even subtle brainwashing of the public!]
If you become confused reading the article, that's very understandable. Some parts are NOT well explained.
A small example is that I never saw the movie "The Manchurian Candidate", so I haven't any idea to what syndrome the author refers. He does not explain the allusion.
If you can manage to get through some of it, however, you will learn of a secret, highly alarming strategy if the following analysis is remotely correct:
"Israel’s Mossad Still Leading Suspect In Assassination of Sweden’s Anna Lindh"
by Trowbridge H. Ford, Ph.D.
In any murder inquiry, investigators should look for suspects who had the motive, means, and opportunity for committing the crime. In an assassination, a politically-motivated killing, the same holds truth, though finding suspects is more difficult because of the greater need and ability of their employers to hide their identity, and how they did the deed.
Only intelligence services of most tenuous states these days resort to clear, conspiratorial acts of violence – like Pinochet’s secret police organization (DINA) blowing up critics Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt in a car in front of the Chilean Embassy in Washington on September 21, 1976 – for fear that they will be fatally exposed by their opponents, leading to the regime’s collapse. On the other hand, the conspiracy must not be so clever that no one is convicted of the killing – what unexpectedly happened because of Soviet spying in the 1986 assassination of Swedish statsminister Olof Palme – because everyone will conclude that it must have been one, most likely by the people who wanted him dead.
Consequently, the secret intelligence services of developed states, especially America’s Central Intelligence Agency, Israel’s Mossad, and Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, have spent countless amounts of money, and endless research by scientists to develop assassins who will do the desired acts on demand, and without any recall of what they have done. Of course, here we are talking about Manchurian Candidates, but the name is a misnomer as the most important research and operations in the field were done by the Americans and the Israelis, not the North Koreans.
The primer on the subject is John Marks’ The Search for the ”Manchurian Candidate”, but in reading it, one must realize that the search was successful, and Manchurian Candidates have often been used in many operations around the world. The classic cases have used drugs to prepare the mind for manipulation, psychic driving of a positive and negative nature to create a false manic-depressive condition, and hypnosis to implant a secret agenda in the candidate’s subconscious which will be acted upon in an elevated state. The most sinister trigger of the process has been achieved by a form of remote viewing instead of hypnosis where the handler commands the subject’s subconscious to action through extremely low frequency sound messages and images directly into the brain from a nearby location. Marks, in short, has just exposed the most benign tip of the projects.
The task for covert operatives, especially the CIA’s William King ”Executive Action” Harvey, and Israel’s Major Benjamin Shalit, has been to find just the right kind of loner, one with a most disassociated makeup which can be determined by proper personality assessment, and who can be driven upon demand, ideally from a remote source, with little chance of anything being dragged out of him later by any investigator. Experience has shown that even with the right type of loner, operatives must not try to make him do anything that he is consciously or unconsciously opposed to, and even successful assassins, especially ones with split personalities, can be exposed if they later experience stable, nurturing relationships. The best insurance against this ever happening is for operatives to see that any successful Manchurian Candidate is either killed on the spot, or locked up in prison for life.
The evidence of this being the case in political assassinations is everywhere if one only thinks about it. Nearly all the important political assassinations or attempted ones of the last half century have involved loners of this nature. For example, James Earl Ray was programmed by Harvey’s people in Los Angeles and New Orleans to kill Dr. Martin Luther King after he was moved into position with binoculars and a rifle with a telescopic sight to trigger the shooting in Memphis, while Sihran Sirhan was driven by similar people to be a decoy shooter for assassin Thane Eugene Cesar in the murder of RFK a few months later on the West Coast. The attempted assassination of Governor George Wallace in 1972 by loner Arthur Bremer, arranged by Harvey in Milwaukee when he was leading Nixon’s Plumbers, was very similar to the MLK one.
The best example of all of the above, though, is the belated killing of Beatle John Lennon in New York City by Mark David Chapman – what Harvey’s follower at CIA Ted ”The Blond Ghost” Shackley arranged right after Ronald Reagan’s election to insure that his original effort before the polling – what proved misguided and unnecesary – never leaked out because of his nuturing wife. Of course, the assassinations were all dismissed by the controlled press in America as the non-political handywork of decided losers and loners.
The limits and risks of using Manchurian Candidates were still demonstrated in the careers of Lee Harvey Oswald, a programmed Palestinian to kill Yasser Arafat right after the MLK killing, Ted ”The Unabomer” Kaczynski, and John Hinckley, Jr. Harvey’s people could no more program LHO to kill JFK, though he had been recruited to kill some Soviet leader on cue, by a form of rapid hypnosis in Mexico City than Shalit could direct through deeper hypnosis the unwilling Palestinian to assassinate the PLO leader. Of course, both the CIA and the Mossad planned for limiting damage when the programming failed, but only Harvey managed to get Jack Ruby, who was forced to use underlings of Mafioso Sam Giancana as assassins in place of the recalcitrant Oswald, to dispose of the increasingly troublesome ex-Marine. The Mossad’s radio-controlled bomb on Arafat’s assassin failed to explode when the ridiculing Palestinian finally escaped its clutches.
The Kaczynski and Hinckley cases are just more extreme examples of the trouble programmed assassins can cause intelligence agencies like the CIA. While the Agency went to great trouble to recruit Kaczynski, going all the way back to his days at Harvard as a math whiz, hoping that he would be such a terrorist threat to Carter’s re-election that the President would be afraid to even leave the White House in order to attract desperately needed votes, Ted was only interested in attacking corporate executives, especially of airlines, and the scientists who made their enterprises possible, so the CIA was ultimately obliged to let him run free for nearly a generation after his first cigar-box bombs against them had exploded for fear that catching him would backfire on it.
Hinckley was properly programmed by Shackley’s people working for the Reagan-Bush ticket to assassinate Carter if he pulled off an ”October Surprise” with Iran over the hostages, but when this proved unnecessary, thanks to Reagan’s own surprise in the matter, Hinckley was so distraught over, and reclaimed by his own reason because of Lennon’s similar assassination at the same time that he tried to exact vengeance on the new Republican President who had double-crossed him. Both cases illustrate the trouble operatives have in reclaiming Candidates if he or the situation on the ground radically changes.
In sum, assassinations by developed states today almost always require a single gunman or decoy to seemingly do the deed, preferably Manchurian Candidates, so one should never discount a probable political conspiracy because of police claims that the assassin was a loner. He almost has to be, or else the plot could result in serious consequences, even war, if prevented, or discovered after the fact. Even in the Palme assassination, Stig Bergling, the convicted Soviet spy, was set up to appear to be the party policeman who killed the statsminister for Moscow while on prison release to get married, and then had escaped to the USSR for his honeymoon – what the CIA’s Rod Carlson tried to arrange through the American Embassy in Stockholm, but Bergling had enough sense to decline, leaving the void Swedish police have yet to decipher.
All this seems most relevant in discussing the murder of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh. The Mossad certainly had the motive, capability, and apparently the opportunity to kill the most troublesome Swedish politician since Palme. Ever since Ariel Sharon was elected Israel’s Prime Minister in his own right in early 2001, the government in Tel Aviv has increasingly sought to end the peace process with the Palestinians under the Olso Accords in a way which would secure her demise as part of the war on terror, starting with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, while achieving the release in America of the Mossad’s Jonathan Pollard for allegedly spying for the Soviets.
Pollard had been set up for spying in the run-up to Palme’s assassination to persuade Moscow that it had all the protection it needed to prevent a first strike from the West – what Washington planned to take full advantage of with more sophisticated satellites, a cargo container full of sensitive sensors transported across the USSR at the time, taps of key communication cables in Moscow and the Barents Sea, and double agents to make it look as if the Soviet response to the set up was a first strike of their own against Sweden.
While the real spying by the Agency’s Aldrich ”Rick” Ames, and the FBI’s Robert Hanssen prevented this from happening after Palme was assassinated, Washington locked up Pollard for life in an attempt to defuse the growing confusion about what had happened, and why. Sharon, as part of his election mandate, made Pollard’s release from prison an integral condition of Israel’s on-going diplomatic relations with Washington. Then fellow Likud Member of Parliament Gilad Erdan made such a fuss about Pollard’s plight that Jewish agencies, as far away as the Orthodox Union in America, were calling for pardoning him, what President Clinton had granted sleazy Marc Rich, and Al Schwimmer, the arms dealer who was supposed to arrange the HAWK missile shipment through Sweden in November 1985 – the fiasco that led to Palme’s assassination.
Lindh was soon doing things, especially during Sweden’s presidency of the European Commission, which made her Sharon’s leading antagonist while his election manager, Meir Dagan, was clearing the way through special operations for the elimination of Iraq’s regime, and ultimately the Foreign Minister herself.
Dagan’s agenda was headed by eliminating Yasser Arafat, and the Oslo Accords – what brought him into direct conflict with Lindh who did not consider the PLO leader a terrorist, wanted their implementation at the expense of illegal Jewish settlements, and was ultimately calling for the EU to break diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv. To help promote Lindh’s agenda in Palestine, MI6 agent Alistair Crooke, veteran security adviser to the EU’s special envoy to the Middle East, worked with Palestinian militants, especially Hamas, to arrange a ceasefire so the Mitchell Plan could be implemented.
To prevent this initiative from getting anywhere, Dagan arranged in July 2002 for the IDF to bomb Sheikh Salah Shehadeh’s house, killing him and 14 other people, nine of whom were children. Then there was Lindh’s strong criticism of Kofi Annan’s report on the IDF’s invasion of Jenin the following month, killing up to 500 Palestinians she claimed.
Dagan earned the Mossad’s Director Generalship in September by arranging the assassination of deepest agent Abu Nidal in Baghdad, what cleared the way for the Coalition’s war on Iraq. Nidal knew where many of the West’s skeletons were buried, especially arms shipments and armed attacks in the lead-up to the Palme assassination, and Saddam Hussein believed that what he could divulge was a great deterrent to an attack. While one of Dagan’s kidons, four-man special operations squads, was allegedly trying to kill the Iraqi leader, another one cut down Nidal in the same fashion that Gerald Bull was eliminated, leaving Iraqi security forces to explain lamely that they had killed Nidal because he had documents linking him to an unnamed enemy, obviously Israel.
During the past year, Lindh actions – promising Palestinians political asylum while protesting the Iraqi war, the isolation of Arafat at Abu Mazen’s expense, the treatment of so-called unlawful combatants from Afghanistan in Cuba, and the targeting of militants, especially by America, of any sort – just moved the Mossad to give teeth to Sharon’s permission ..”to carry out assassinations,” as UPI reported in January, ”of suspected terrorist targets on the U.S. and other allies’ soil.” The Foreign Minister had worn down the last opposition to her assassination in Washington by being so demanding about the release of three Swedish citizens, charged falsely with working for Al-Qaeda while helping fellow Somalis.
While the Mossad was infiltrating agents into, and recruiting co-religionists in friendly countries to carry out these missions, counterterrorists in Europe and North America were dragooned into the process. Britain was so afraid that an air liner would be shot down over Heathrow – like what nearly happened to an El Al liner in Africa, and resulted in Dagan being named the Mossad’s DG – that MI5 called out the Army to meet the alleged threat. The FBI, in cahoots with the Russian intelligence service, trapped a New Jersey arms merchant into buying doctored missiles for the same purpose in the States.
The clock starting ticking for Lindh’s assassination when MI5’s Director General Eliza Manningham-Buller gave an unprecedented lecture in June, warning that an unconventional terrorist attack upon a West European city by Osama bin Laden or one of the Islamic networks loosely affiliated with him was just ”a matter of time.” Thanks to allowing 15 Mossad agents (katsas) to help Britain in its counterterrorist efforts, the country had unrivalled expertise in fighting terrorism, she explained.
Gordon Thomas added in his May 16, 2003 article, ”Mossad’s Killing Machine comes to Britain,” an Israeli kidon was even in Britain, tracking down, and killing at close quarters. An MI5 source told Thomas that ”…they are equiped with long and short-blade knives and piano wires to strangle” their victims. The kidons, composed of men and women in their late twenties, were trained to melt into the local community.
In this context, it seems most likely that Swedish security forces again followed Britain’s lead – as they had in the Palme case to their detriment about providing reliable bodyguard protection for their leading public officials – allowing katsas and their kidons to take up positions in Stockholm to protect the city from terrorist attacks. How else could Säpo, the Swedish security service, have denied Lindh repeated calls from the Foreign Ministry for bodyguard protection, claiming that she was under no threat? Of course, the Israelis were the greatest threat to the Foreign Minister, as Jewish extremists were constantly contending that she was”the greatest apologist of terrorism,” deserving to be assassinated – what they gleefully repeated when it happened.
During the summer, Dagan’s people apparently found a Serb in Stockholm – like the ones who had assassinated the Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in March while he was on his way to a meeting with Lindh – to give them cover for what they planned. Djindjic, who Tel Aviv wanted murdered because of his alleged supplying Saddam with vital, illegal war material in the run-up to the war, was the first European political leader since Palme to be assassinated. Djindjic had infuriated Slobodan Milosevic’s followers in just the way Lindh had Sharon’s – sending the former President to The Hague to answer war crimes charges – and bloody pre-emptive action, Dagan’s specialty, seems what the situation called for. If a Serb could solve the problems with Djindjic, another one could solve the ones with Lindh.
While the 24-year-old suspect may prove to be innocent despite all the claims by the newspapers, and leaks from the police – as happened in the Palme case with Victor Gunnarsson and Christer Pettersson, and was repeated in this one with a 35-year-old suspect – it seems much more likely that the conspirators planned very carefully for a convincing fall guy this time to avoid another fiasco which would make Sweden’s police the laughing stock of the world. This suspect appears to have all the credentials for a knife attack he couldn’t recall since this was what actually happened when he repeatedly attacked his father with a knife, for which he received a suspended sentence. He also made threatening phone calls, and was convicted of illegal gun possession. In sum, this suspect is an ideal fall guy, a loose cannon, just waiting for someone to pull his trigger.
The only thing left for the Mossad to do was to make sure that Pollard would finally be released from prison in return for this favor also for Washington. Thanks to the constant pressure that the Orthodox Union (OU) and other Jewish groups had put on American intelligence agencies, on September 2nd Chief Judge Thomas F. Hogan heard arguments calling for the life sentence to be vacated – what he has yet to rule on.
On a personal note, I had sent an article I had written for publication in Eye Spy! magazine about why it took so long to discover the spying for the Soviets by Ames and Hanssen – what would justify a reduction of Pollard’s punishment – to help the OU’s appeal. It was only right after Lindh had been stabbed that I received an excited acknowledgment from it, thanking me for helping its efforts, saying that its Institute for Public Affairs would be contacting me immediately for more information, and requesting that I supply any more information which would help. I sent back an article about the reckless double-agent operations that Washington and London were conducting after Pollard had been caught which caused them to start spying for Moscow. Obviously, OU’s interest in what I had done was to take responsibility off the Mossad for any unexpected favors in gaining Pollard’s release, what it realized was a big mistake as soon as it had done it as I have never heard anything more from them.
In this context, the assassination of Anna Lindh, which required the actions of between 4 to 5 operatives, took place. There is no way that a single assassin could have kept track of the travels of the Foreign Minister and her friend, stolen a knife, on the spur of the moment, from the distant PUB store, escaped arrest for the theft, and yet still caught them alone and unattended many blocks away on the first floor of the department store without the help of several others. It all requires the use of a yahalomin bugging unit for what Lindh and her friend were saying, announcing, and doing – what would be communicated to the assassin, and any possible decoy to keep control of the operation.
According to reports, moves become even more muddy when the murder itself occurred. While the police have been relying completely on the camera at the entrance of NK for possible suspects, they have ignored the fact that a kidon could have easily entered, and exited the store unnoticed from the underground parking garage. Then the TV video of the alleged killer hardly looks like the 24-year-old suspect, having a pocked-marked skin and a mole on his lower left-cheek which the suspect clearly lacks. Then his DNA on a discarded hat hardly proves anything. As for the murderer’s DNA being on the just-stolen knife which killed the Foreign Minister, and which was handled by several persons besides the assassin before the police received it, I would challenge any criminal investigator to recall a similar case.
In sum, I think, at best, the current suspect, perhaps under some kind of psychological manipulation, is a decoy for the operation, emboldened apparently to tell ”all” to understanding relatives who will not be allowed to testify at his trial. Actually, the only substance, it seems, to his confession is the remarks by relatives in Serbia who understandably were appalled by what they were told by reporters, and made some confirming responses with no idea of what had really happened. Little wonder that Swedish police are now saying that the real assassins may have escaped.
As a coda to the whole conspiracy, I would remind readers that the British Foreign Office, headed by the out-of-the-loop Jack Straw, and the only Anglo-American-Israeli leader truly shocked by Lindh’s assassination, recalled MI6’s Crooke despite his protests, once the blood from the murder had been washed away, from Palestine, fearing that he too might be assassinated by Sharon, Dagan, and company as part of its pledge to ”obliterate terrorst groups.”
After all, we still don’t know how weapons expert Dr. David Kelly really died. All the Thames police have said is that his death is unexplained, and inquest by Oxford coroner Nathaniel Gardiner has been postponed because of the Hutton Inquiry investigation of his apparent suicide – which Prime Minister Blair called in order to sidetrack more important inquiries . The British MoD thought that Kelly was under threat enough to take him to a safe house for protection, and the scientist certainly did not choose an easy way to dispose of himself. The question is: did the kidon in Britain get rid of him too? Certainly, it seems to have all the tailor-made signs of another Dagan assassination.
For those ill-informed enough to think that Secretary of State Colin Powell’s belated pleasantries in the wake of Lindh’s assassination constituted real sorrow, I would remind them that he used Hurricane Isabel, which completely shut down Washington, as an excuse not to come to her funeral rather than an added justification. Powell learned from Thatcher and Reagan after Palme’s assassination that one could piss on Stockholm obsequies with impunity. Powell, rather than being a multilateralist, is hard-core unilateralist, as his willingness before Palme’s assassination for the Pentagon to directly resupply Israel for all the illegal weapons it shipped to Tehran – what the statsminister was murdered for trying to stop, America’s Operation Staunch. Powell just has a job now where he is supposed to act as if he wants to work with others not committed to the New World Order.
Then the Canadian government expelled nine Israelis as spies, enough katsas to compose two kidons, fearing that the Mossad was planning more international terrorism at its expense in Ottawa. They were all in the twenties, working without permits. Similar deportations of Israeli spies occurred earlier in Toronto and Calgary. In Syria, the security police arrested an Israeli kidon trying to assassinate Hamas leaders around Damascus, resulting in the IDF raid on an alleged Patestinian training camp outside the Syrian capital to hush up the story, and to sustain the Mossad’s terrorist initiative. [...]
If the assassination of the Foreign Minister passes without any Mossad suspects being indicted for this deliberately most vicious, terrorizing murder, can one anticipate that Pollard will be released from prison, thanks to a change of mind by officials in America, especially former Reagan SOD Caspar Weinberger, that his spying wasn’t that dangerous to national security after all? If so, one can be sure that former Clinton SOD William Cohen, who was in all the covert operation loops back then, made all the necessary connections.
A few years ago when Weinberger was a bit too candid about American and NATO violations of Swedish territorial waters at Palme’s expense, Cohen, in the wake of NATO Secretary George Robertson’s similar visit, came to Stockholm to smooth out everything. Weinberger, it seems, just misspoke. Just before 9/11, Cohen prevailed upon similar officials determining Pollard’s fate to spare the FBI’s Hanssen from the gas chamber.
If this happens, Säpo will be put in the same position as Saddam’s security service after the Mossad’s assassination of Abu Nidal. When and where will this terrible tale end?
For those naive enough to think that Washington may be having second thoughts about the Sharon-Dagan agenda for fighting the war against terrorism, I would remind them that DCI George Tenet, who deliberately helped derail the Mitchell plan, and promote the Pollard one, is now going to be thrown on history’s scrapheap for outing CIA agent Valerie Plame, wife of former ambassador Joe Wilson who made a liar out of George W. Bush for claiming in his State of the Union Address that Niger was supplying Saddam with weapons-grade uranium. Plame is an analyst at Langley whose occupation has long been known, but her identification by columnist Robert Novak is being used to scapegoat Tenet, who has long outlived his usefulness in promoting Israel’s expanding agenda against all alleged terrorism
