End the National Security State 

By Kevin Barrett 

The expression “National Security” is Orwellian. What it really means is whipping up insecurity by brainwashing citizens into thinking they face a terrible foreign threat. The National Security State was founded by Harry Truman when he signed the National Security Act of 1947. Truman didn’t want to give up the vast, unconstitutional government power that had accumulated during wartime. Arthur Vandenberg told him that if he wanted a permanent wartime economy, he would have to “scare the hell out of the American people.” So he did. And they’ve been trying to scare the hell out of us ever since. 

Almost everything they told us during the Cold War was a lie. They kept saying the Russians were ahead of us in nuclear weapons. But the truth was that the Russians were far behind and continually suing for peace. When John F. Kennedy decided to give up the vast US lead in armaments, and join the Russians in a world disarmament plan, he was murdered by the CIA—the goon squad of the Wall Street financiers and their military-industrial complex. (Listen to me discussing the JFK case with James Douglass, the world’s leading peace theologian, here.) 

The National Security State continually lies to us, in order to sell us on their schemes for world conquest and empire and passionate attachments to certain countries. But it is these schemes of empire that make us insecure! If we just mind our own business and defend our own borders, we will have no enemies. 

Switzerland, for goodness sake, has long been surrounded by potentially hostile countries while sitting on vast amounts of gold...yet by maintaining neutrality and a defend-the-borders posture, the Swiss have been able to avoid trouble without bankrupting themselves through excessive military spending. If the Swiss can do it surrounded by all those dangerous countries, we can do it with Canada and Mexico as our only immediate neighbors. 

I mean, come on, people—look at a map! 

Today, the National Security State wants to scare us with a new boogeyman—terrorism. But the “terrorist threat” is completely and utterly bogus. More Americans die from cigarettes in three days than have died from terrorism in the past century.  

Before 9/11, hardly anyone hated America. Now almost everybody does. Still there is no real terrorist threat. The idea that Arabs and Muslims, for example, would want to harm their own cause by perpetrating spectacular terrorist attacks in America is ridiculous. Sure, there may be a couple of hotheaded morons out there who could be sucked into some harebrained terrorist scheme. But nobody smart enough to stage a spectacular attack on America would also be dumb enough to want to do it. The Vietnamese weren’t dumb enough to blow up American skyscrapers, even though we invaded their country and killed three million of their people. Castro wasn’t dumb enough to blow up American skyscrapers, even though the CIA tried to kill him many dozens of times. Do you really think Arabs and Muslims are that much stupider than the Vietnamese and the Cubans?  

I do know who might want to blow up American skyscrapers, or maybe even nuke American cities, and blame it on Arabs and Muslims. Here is a passage from my No Lies News Headlines broadcast of April 28^th, 2008: 

Speaking of false-flag terror...the world’s leading sponsor of false-flag terror, Israel, has just taken a hit as another nuclear spy for Israel has been arrested. According to Reuters news agency, “The arrest of Ben-Ami Kadish indicates that Israeli spying revealed by the Pollard case, still an irritant to the U.S. alliance with Israel, may have spread wider than previously acknowledged.”

That may be an understatement. The long Israeli spying on the USA culminated during the year-long run-up to 9/11, during which more than a hundred Israeli spies were arrested and deported. Among the Israeli spies were those living virtually across the street from Mohammed Atta in Hollywood, Florida, as reported in Justin Raimondo’s book The Terror Enigma. In fact, there is some question about whether a man passing himself off as the Egyptian Mohammad Atta may have been an Israeli impersonator. In his book Welcome to Terrorland, Daniel Hopsicker reports that according to Atta’s girlfriend Amanda Keller, the “Atta” she know spoke fluent Hebrew as well as more than five other languages. There is no evidence that the real, Egyptian Mohammed Atta ever had a chance to learn Hebrew, the national language of Israel.

Along with shadowing and perhaps impersonating the alleged 9/11 hijackers, Israeli spies were caught wildly celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers. The so-called “dancing Israelis” were arrested in New York after filming themselves cheering and high fiving in front of the burning, collapsing Towers. They were sent back to Israel after failing lie detector tests. In Israel, they admitted on Israeli TV that they had been sent to New York to “document” the destruction of the Twin Towers.

Israel has a long history of murderous false-flag operations directed at American citizens. In 1954, Israeli agents bombed American and British targets in Egypt. Israel wanted to blame the bombings on “Arab terrorists” but got caught red-handed. For details, google the “Lavon Affair” or just look it up on Wikipedia.

In 1967, Israeli military personnel brutally attacked an unarmed American spy ship, the USS Liberty, slaughtering 34 and wounding 173. The Israeli attack was supposed to be blamed on Egypt, so America would go to war against Israel’s enemies. For more information, visit http://www.ussliberty.org/report/report.htm or read Operation Cyanide by Peter Hounem.

According to former Mossad agent Ari Ben-Menashe’s book Profits of War, in 1978, Israeli intelligence, NOT “radical Palestinians,” organized the hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and the murder of wheelchair-bound American passenger Leon Klinghoffer.

According to British official documents released last year, the famous 1976 Entebbe, Uganda hijacking was another Israeli false-flag operation.

These are just a few of the best-documented cases of Israeli false-flag terrorism against Americans.  

If we want to live in peace and security, we need to abandon our “passionate attachment” to Israel. We need to stop arming the world. We need to stop spreading military bases all over the world. We need to stop killing people all over the world and end the American Holocaust. Above all, we need to end the empire and restore the Republic. If I am elected to Congress, I will not rest until this goal has been achieved.
