What if the News Media Reports Missiles Launched From the Iranian Coast Hit a US Aircraft Carrier With Deaths and Casualties? by Bill Sardi Recently by Bill Sardi: In Giant Misdirection, Americans Save More While Their Real Wealth Declines Faster "We interrupt this broadcast for an
important News bulletin…. We
take you to reporter Manfred
Smith on the aircraft carrier USS
Abraham Lincoln in the Persian
Gulf for this special report." (Reporter Smith) "I’m here
on the deck of the USS Abraham
Lincoln where casualties are being
taken from the USS Carl Vinson
which sustained damage earlier
today in a shocking pre-dawn attack on US Naval forces here in
the Persian Gulf. At least one
hundred body bags are now
housed in a makeshift morgue
below decks, and casualties are
running in the hundreds. Radar tracking shows evidence of sea-
skimming missiles, likely
shoulder-fired, possibly as many
as three launched from the coast
of Iran, that struck the Vinson
amidships. You can see in the distance smoke billowing from
the USS Vinson now some six
hours after the sudden surprise
attack. US Navy authorities said
the close proximity of the ship to
the coast made it impossible to defend against this missile attack.
The USS Eisenhower remains
positioned 30 miles further away
from Iran’s coast than the USS
Vinson. US military authorities are
saying a swift and decisive retaliatory blow against Iran is
now underway and US military
aircraft are now attacking pre-
determined military targets with
full force. Iranian authorities in
Tehran issued a denial of their involvement in the attack, but an
Iranian mullah is claimed to have
said, I quote: ‘This should serve
the Great Satan notice they don’t
belong here.’ Iranian President
Ahmadinejad had previously warned Iran would retaliate
against sanctions imposed by the
US on his country. This is Manfred
Smith with XXX News aboard the
USS Eisenhower in the Persian
Gulf." If the American public were
suddenly shocked by the news
that three shoulder-fired missiles
launched from the coast of Iran
had hit a US aircraft carrier in the
Straits of Hormuz and killed 200 navy personnel, would even one
American question whether this
report was accurate in its
assumption that the regime in
Iran was behind the missile
attack? How easy it would be
for any party that
wanted to instigate
war to place
saboteurs on Iran’s
coast to aim shoulder- fired missiles at a US
aircraft carrier
positioned near the Straits of
Hormuz where a third of the
world’s oil tankers pass every day. The very first posting I submitted
to Lew Rockwell over a decade
ago was entitled "Remember The
Maine." It was about events, all at
sea, that triggered all the modern
major world wars. All were staged events. I repeat them here: February 15, 1898: "Remember the Maine."
Mysterious explosion rocks the
battleship MAINE in Havana
Harbor, Cuba. 266 men were
killed. Initially it was believed a
torpedo or mine caused the explosion. On April 25, 1898 the
US declared war on Spain. A
1976 investigation found that
the Maine was sunk due to a
self-inflicted blast, probably as
a result of coal bunker fire on board. May 7, 1915: The British steamship Lusitania was sunk
by a German torpedo on the
high seas of the Atlantic Ocean.
100 Americans lost their lives.
The result was the US was
brought into WWI. It was not revealed at the time that the
Lusitania, a passenger boat,
was carrying arms and
munitions. December 7, 1941: How was President Roosevelt going to
convince the American public to
enter into war with the
Japanese when the US was
headed for war with Germany?
Japanese bombers, launched from aircraft carriers, bombed
Pearl Harbor and sunk the US
Pacific Fleet in a so-called
surprise attack. Over 2000 died.
The US knew of the threat of
war and had intercepted the "East-Wind Rain" secret code of
the Japanese Pacific fleet. Japan
had closed all its embassies in
the Pacific rim the week prior
to Pearl Harbor, which is an
overt sign of war. US aircraft carriers had been removed
from Pearl Harbor days before
the bombing. Admiral Kimmell in Hawaii was
intentionally kept in the dark
that the Japanese fleet was
nearby. A surprise attack it
wasn’t. The US navy actually
fired the first shots, launching depth charges at the entrance
to Pearl Harbor after detecting
an unidentified submarine an
hour before Japanese aircraft
bombed US Navy ships moored
in the harbor. President Roosevelt appeared before
Congress, declared Pearl Harbor
a "day in infamy," and the rest
is history. August 5, 1964: President Johnson orders the US to take
retaliatory action against
Vietnam after "renewed
attacks against American
destroyers in the Gulf on
Tonkin" (Vietnam). There were no new attacks against
American ships. The news media
reported a lie,
leading over
50,000 Americans
to their death and
millions of casualties. October 12, 2000: A small bomb-carrying vessel swiftly
approaches the The USS COLE,
an American destroyer, docked
in Yemen to re-fuel. An
explosion ripped a gaping hole
in the side of the ship. Eighteen sailors died and 35 others were
wounded. The bombing occurs
on the eve of the Presidential
debates, and as rumors that
Iraq is moving troops in the
Middle East, as well as riots in Jerusalem. Benjamin
Netanyahu, former prime
minister of Israel, says during a
television interview that the
same people who conducted
terrorism in Jerusalem bombed the USS Cole. Don’t be duped into going to
war solely over reports of
bombings of US Navy boats in
far off lands where we the
facts of the event are
completely controlled by one source, the government.
Remember the Maine! Scene 3, Take 2 There is a similar situation today.
Avi Perry, a former intelligence
expert for the Israeli government
and professor at Northwestern
University, recently wrote this in
the Jerusalem Post : "Iran, just like Nazi Germany in
the 1940s, will take the
initiative and ‘help’ the US
president and the American
public make up their mind by
making the first move, by attacking a US aircraft carrier in
the Persian Gulf. The Iranian attack on an
American military vessel will
serve as a justification and a
pretext for a retaliatory move
by the US military against the
Iranian regime. The target would not be Iran’s nuclear
facilities. The US would
retaliate by attacking Iran’s
navy, their military
installations, missile silos,
airfields. The US would target Iran’s ability to retaliate, to
close down the Strait of
Hormuz. The US would then
follow by targeting the regime
itself….. under this ‘Pearl
Harbor’ scenario, in which Iran had launched a ‘surprise’ attack
on the US navy, the US would
have the perfect rationalization
to finish them off, to put an end
to this ugly game…. 2012 will
see to a new war. This time, Iran will initiate it. " It is difficult to educate a largely
patriotic American population that
the US has in the past, and is likely
in the future, to provoke America
into a military conflict not only by
issuance of propaganda to soften up the masses against an alleged
enemy like Iran, but to also incite
the enemy to "fire the first shot"
or deceive Americans into
believing the enemy instigated
the war. US sanctions against Iran are now beginning to take
economic effect there and the
regime there is talking about
austerity measures. Didn’t the US
government foresee
its current economic
collapse, and
knowing America’s
reliance upon oil from the Middle East, which
sucks money out of
America with no off-setting
exports to these Arabic countries
other than military weapons, plan
to overtake these oil-rich foreign countries and capture their oil? The US is the world’s
largest consumer of
petroleum. The US
purchases about $1 billion for oil every
day from overseas
sources. This has led to a miserable balance of trade situation. So why not demonize oil-producing countries
to soften up the American people
into the idea of capturing their oil
under the guise that pre-emptive
action needs to be taken against
these foreign countries before they attack first? The U.S. is becoming more energy
independent by fracking oil from
the earth’s crust, but it can’t
control oil-producing countries
with its purchasing power as
easily as it had in the past. For example, Iran sells a great deal of
its oil to India via Turkey serving
as an intermediary. India is a
country that is not participating in
the sanctions against Iran.
Furthermore, India is paying Iran in rupees instead of using the US
dollar as the reserve currency for
trade. Thanks to the internet it is more
widely known that the US, one
year prior to 9-11, published a
document entitled Project For A New American Century that outlined how the US intended to
dominate global trade and finance
by a policy of military domination
and deceptive provocations. This
document called for "some
catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor," which
would galvanize US public opinion
in support of a war. Sadly, busy Americans are not
likely to realize that financially
broke regimes go to war to hide
their economic sins. Bank holidays
can be declared, currency
devalued, reckless spending justified, freedoms restricted, all
because America is now under
wartime rules. February 10, 2012
I'd say the layout is a bit messy… and this seems to be the source/entire article, which does not comply with the current policy (see first sentence).
