VIPS to Trump:  (Fabricated) Intel on Iran Could be CATASTROPHIC

Latest Iran Intel as phoney as Russian hacking claims

As drums beat again for war — this time on Iran—-the VIPS’ warning is again being disregarded as it was before the Iraq debacle and this time VIPS fear the consequences will be all-caps CATASTROPHIC. 

August 1, 2018

MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)
SUBJECT: Intelligence on Iran Fails the Smell Test
Mr. President:
As the George W. Bush administration revved up to attack Iraq 15 years ago, we could see no compelling reason for war.  We decided, though, to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt on the chance he had been sandbagged by Vice President Dick Cheney and others.  We chose to allow for the possibility that he actually believed the “intelligence” that Colin Powell presented to the UN as providing “irrefutable and undeniable” proof of WMD in Iraq and a “sinister nexus” between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.
To us in VIPS it was clear, however, that the “intelligence” Powell adduced was bogus.  Thus, that same afternoon (Feb. 5, 2003) we prepared and sent to President Bush a Memorandum like this one, urging him to seek counsel beyond the “circle of those advisers clearly bent on a war for which we see no compelling reason and from which we believe the unintended consequences are likely to be catastrophic.”
We take no satisfaction at having been correct — though disregarded — in predicting the political and humanitarian disaster in Iraq. Most Americans have been told the intelligence was “mistaken.” It was not; it was out-and-out fraud, in which, sadly, some of our former colleagues took part.
Five years after Powell’s speech, the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee minced few words in announcing the main bipartisan finding of a five-year investigation. He said:  “In making the case for war, the Administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when in reality it was unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even non-existent.  As a result, the American people were led to believe that the threat from Iraq was much greater than actually existed.”
Iran Now in Gunsight
As drums beat again for a military attack — this time on Iran, we Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity and other experienced, objective analysts are, by all appearances, being disregarded again.  And, this time, we fear the consequences will be all-caps CATASTROPHIC — in comparison with the catastrophe of Iraq.
In memoranda to you over the past year and a half we have pointed out that (1) Iran’s current support for international terrorism is far short of what it was decades ago; and (2) that you are being played by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims about Iran’ they are based on intelligence exposed as fraudulent several years ago.  
Tellingly, Netanyahu waited for your new national security adviser to be in place for three weeks before performing his April 30 slide show alleging that Iran has a covert nuclear weapons program.  On the chance that our analysis of Netanyahu’s show-and-tell failed to reach you, please know that the Israeli prime minister was recycling information from proven forgeries, which we reported in a Memorandum to you early last spring.
If our Memorandum of May 7 fell through some cracks in the West Wing, here are its main findings:
The evidence displayed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on April 30 in what he called his “Iranian atomic archive” showed blatant signs of fabrication. That evidence is linked to documents presented by the Bush Administration more than a decade earlier as “proof” of a covert Iran nuclear weapons program. Those documents were clearly fabricated, as well.
In our May 7, 2018 Memorandum we also asserted: “We can prove that the actual documents originally came not from Iran but from Israel. Moreover, the documents were never authenticated by the CIA or the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).”
Iran: Almost Targeted in 2008
There was a close brush with war with Iran a decade ago.  Bush and Cheney, in close consultation with Israel, were planning to attack Iran in 2008, their last year in office.  Fortunately, an honest National Intelligence Estimate of November 2007 concluded that Iran had stopped working on a nuclear weapon in 2003, and that key judgment was made public.  Abruptly, that NIE stuck an iron rod into the wheels of the juggernaut then speeding downhill to war.
The key judgment that Iran had stopped work on a nuclear weapon was the result of the painstakingly deliberative process that was customarily used, back in the day, to produce an NIE. After that process — which took a full year —  the Nov. 2007 NIE was was approved unanimously by all U.S. intelligence agencies.
(In other words, it was decidedly NOT a rump “assessment” like the one cobbled together in a couple of weeks by “handpicked” analysts from three selected, agenda-laden agencies regarding Russian meddling. We refer, of course, to the evidence-impoverished and deceptively labeled “Intelligence Community Assessment” that the directors of the FBI, CIA, and NSA gave you on January 6, 2017. The Defense Intelligence Agency and the State Department intelligence bureau were among the other 13 agencies excluded from that “Intelligence Community Assessment.”)

As for the Bush/Cheney plans for attacking Iran in 2008, President George W. Bush, in his autobiography, Decision Points, recorded his chagrin at what he called the NIE’s “eye-popping” intelligence finding debunking the conventional wisdom that Iran was on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon.  Bush added plaintively, “How could I possibly explain using the military to destroy the nuclear facilities of a country the intelligence community said had no active nuclear weapons program?”

Mr. President, we do not know whether a fresh National Intelligence Estimate has been produced on Iran and nuclear weapons — or, if one has been produced, whether it is as honest as the NIE of Nov. 2007, which helped prevent the launch of another unnecessary war the following year.  We stand on our record.  In sum, if you believe that there is credible evidence that Iran has an active secret nuclear weapons program, we believe you have been misled.  And if you base decisions on misleading “intelligence” on Iran, the inevitable result will be a great deal worse than the Bush/Cheney debacle in Iraq.

  1. Fabric Fakery, if this was truly a fabric of intelligence, I would expect it to be like the NIST Report. Complete BullShit. There are a basket full of reports written in every conceivable way by Speilberg and LucasArts to create spaces in the public's mind for future events. E.T., Star Wars, Megalomania Stories to follow Top Gun as a recruiting tool. The unlimited military funding needs an enemy and BB Yahoo is the editor and publisher. " You get me the photos, I create my California Castle on the blood of the Infant Patriot. We make it a tourist bus tour after we maimed and killed the High School Football Heros. Secret Agencies in a Citizen Government is just asking for the Tit Dick Goat to start fucking ya up the Ass.

    This Puppet Show is coming direct from the EuroTrash that flip their kids and marry them backwards in sick symbols and pageantry. Follow them straight to Hell is their ultimate agenda but hey sheeps …

    Watch the Tit Dick Goat just before you fall into the fire as the Secret Door Opens and the Con is complete, the Tragic Death Hoax is going to be the Walking Dead Sheep, of course, the Tit Dick Goat returns to lead The New Wave of Infant sheep.

    You keep appealing to the 666 Flasher in front of you. She is a whole herd of Goats.

  2. satanic Culture Must Be De-Activated By REAL Christianity, Etc.

    What's this?–a mere "catastrophe" is in the making?–by Jews?–well, Jews don't care–except for maybe a few, but only because they calculate it would be bad for kikes, eh? See Talmudical.blogspot.com, RevisionistReview.blogspot.com, and Come-and-hear.com for expo on satanic Talmud and Judaism.

    For we live in satanic times, suckers, "Decline of the West," by Oswald Spengler, and Trump is TOTAL CAPTIVE to Jews, and Jews will do what's good for Jews.

    And as things are DETERMINED in accord w. strict cause-effect, not any idiot (God-like) "free" will, one must simply look at circumstances to calculate what's most likely to happen.

    For note economy is on brink of collapse, despite usual Jew lies about health and rising GDP numbers–well known to be all lies–there's still 20% un-employment, suckers, and int. rates are still abnormally low, Trump budget deficit as bad if not worse than Obola's.

    Long as Jews are happy it doesn't bode well for us goyim. Jews should be depressed and terrorized–only THEN do u know things are good for humanity, hoh oh o ho ho.

    So if Jews think they can keep getting away w. some more, neato false-flags (a), and (b) if they think goyim will still suck-along w. them, like the Judeo-Christian (JC–see Whtt.org and TruthTellers.org for expo) scum, heretics, and traitors, they won't hesitate–anymore than they did w. 9/11 (see Bollyn.com), ho ho oho ho.

    So Christian patriots must continue to fan flames of anti-semitism, and anti-satanism (Gosp. JOHN 8:44), hence the REAL Christianity, worship of truth (= Christ, Gosp. JOHN 14:6), they'll know they're on right track.

    For satanism and hubris is the larger context in which Jew monsters thrive, satanism being extreme subjectivism by which mind/consciousness is held to be creator of reality, making the subject God.

    Further, Christians and patriots must continue to work to de-activate central-bank criminal enterprise, literally legalized counterfeiting–see Mises.org; use their site search-engine.

    Finally, patriots must de-centralize Jew S A politically, by means of states-rights and -sovereignty, including nullification, etc.–see TenthAmendmentCenter.com.

    All Mainstream and Underground Music is a Tranny PsyOp

    Germaine Videos

    The VIPs of PsyOp already know the music industry is the Tit Dick Goat. They protect the Op because they also mirror their successfully used signs, symbols, and concepts. You read from the same bible. When you establish a forward vector, you expect to also populate a backwards vector. The political landscape is identical. Alex is established to counter culture, then where is the opposite vector? The CIA LOSES ALL CREDIBILITY IN 9-11, now suddenly we have VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING in reverse …

    VIP.
