How Israel Wages War on the U.S.—By Way of Deception
January 6, 2010 by Jeff Gates · 15 Comments
The Manipulation of U.S. General Colin Powell and Pakistani Cricket Star Imran Khan
Mass media and popular culture are powerful tools of manipulation when wielded by those skilled at waging way by way of deception. When shaping the opinion of an unsuspecting public, the star power of military leaders and sports heroes is routinely appropriated.
That duplicity was on display in February 2003 when Colin Powell gave false testimony to the U.N. Security Council that helped launch the U.S.-led invasion of a Muslim nation. Similar duplicity was deployed in May 2005 when Pakistani cricket icon Imran Khan launched from Islamabad a false story that provoked outrage at the U.S. in Muslim nations.
Since the “bread and circus” era of the Roman Empire, pop culture has proven a potent means to distract and misdirect. With the modern reach of mass media, pop culture can be deployed not just to manipulate the public’s mental state but also to promote for political office high-profile personalities such as astronauts, newscasters, war heroes and even well known comedians.
Those who induced the U.S. to wage war in Iraq on false pretenses used Secretary of State Colin Powell for that purpose when he was dispatched to the U.N. to vouch for phony intelligence. The Powell “brand” as a credible four-star general was appropriated by pro-Israeli war-planners to market the false impression that Iraq had mobile biological weapons laboratories.
By deploying a public official’s known integrity to obscure their duplicity, those complicit in this deceit discredited both Powell and the U.S. while also undermining the credibility of the U.N. The phony intelligence on which Powell relied was provided by George Tenet, Director of Central Intelligence, and vouched for by Paul Joyal, reportedly Tenet’s Ashkenazi Chief of Staff.
A similar power-of-association ploy emerged two years later when the pop culture celebrity of Imran Khan was appropriated to provoke violence worldwide that damaged the image of the U.S. A global crisis commenced soon after those handling public relations for this legend of the cricket world summoned reporters to a May 6, 2005 press conference in Islamabad.
As an international sports figure, Khan’s star power and his position as a Pakistani politician directed media attention to an April 30th issue of Newsweek where Ashkenazi journalist Michael Isikoff reported that U.S. interrogators had flushed a Koran down a toilet in an attempt to exert pressure on Muslim combatants in custody at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Not until May 16th did Newsweek editors publish a partial retraction along with an apology in The New York Times conceding that the widely reported story was inadequately supported by the facts. By then Isikoff’s tale of Koran desecration had gone viral.
Game Theory Warfare
The story provoked massive anti-U.S. demonstrations in Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, Indonesia, Palestine, Jordan, Bangladesh, Sudan and Malaysia. Though the Guantanamo inmate retracted his statement, by then the story had done lasting damage to U.S. interests throughout the Islamic world while adding plausibility to the thematic Clash of Civilizations.
In game theory terms, the results were foreseeable because the reaction was mathematically predictable; the response could be projected—within an acceptable range of probabilities.
See: How Israel Wages Game Theory Warfare
As an Ashkenazim-dominated global media spread this provocation worldwide, the “probabilistic” outcome induced protests in Central Asia, unrest in Uzbekistan and calls for an “Islamic revolution” in Pakistan where violent protests left 16 dead.
Why would a world-renowned Pakistani cricket star be used to publicize in Islamabad an unsubstantiated story from a U.S. magazine? Answer: Khan’s pop culture status ensured that an identifiable demographic group (cricket fans) would quickly learn about—and react to—a provocation featured in a leading U.S. news weekly.
That media-induced provocation proved its potency as the story stoked extremism. For Tel Aviv’s game theory war-planners, the anticipated response became a potent weapon in the arsenal of the agent provocateur.
Mass Media as a Geopolitical Force-Multiplier
Cricket has long been a mainstay in nations historically under British colonial rule. When the desecration story was promoted in Islamabad, the editors of Newsweek, a Washington Post publication, successfully discredited not only the U.S. but also the U.K. by provoking outrage among Muslims worldwide. A bombing in London two months later was motivated by this “desecration” according to a cousin of one of the attackers on July 7, 2005.
By associating the story with a sports icon, Newsweek breached the literacy barrier common to less developed nations (54% in Pakistan). As the story spread by word-of-mouth, this provocation reached tens of millions among the illiterate as well as sports fans of younger age for whom extreme reactions come more readily.
By launching the provocation from Pakistan, the response also weakened President Pervez Musharaff, a key U.S. ally with the Taliban active in Pakistan’s western provinces and Al Qaeda suspected of seeking refuge there. Isikoff’s tale also served as a potent recruiting tool for Islamic fundamentalists. At a critical juncture, the (foreseeable) result further endangered coalition troops and also pre-staged today’s plausibility of Pakistan as a source of jihadists.
Formerly a Musharaff supporter and anti-corruption crusader, Khan had become an outspoken critic of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. By appropriating the Khan “brand,” Newsweek assured the global reach of this provocation as a pop culture star’s celebrity gained traction for a story guaranteed to prove troublesome for the U.S.-Pakistan alliance.
The timing of this provocation also addressed a key strategic need for Israel. Initial response to the April 30th article was muted. The May 6th press conference overlapped a critical May 4th news cycle when U.S. Defense Department analyst Lawrence Franklin appeared in a U.S. District Court outside Washington where he was charged with leaking to the Israel lobby classified Pentagon materials on Iran.
The pop culture-catalyzed protests and riots diverted the public’s attention away from wartime espionage by a purported ally. Instead mainstream media marketed a tale certain to outrage Muslims abroad while downplaying facts certain to anger Americans at home. The Washington Post media group has been under Ashkenazim control since June 1933 when patriarch Eugene Meyer acquired the flagship newspaper at auction.
The Newsweek provocation also diverted attention from the fact that Franklin worked for senior pro-Israeli war-planners: Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz and Under Secretary Douglas Feith who oversaw the Office of Special Plans, a key source of the “fixed” intelligence that induced the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Brand Appropriation
Whether appropriating Colin Powell’s integrity or Imran Khan’s celebrity, such “associative” weaponry works the same: the power of association is deployed by those adept at manipulating thought and emotion in order to influence behavior and shape policy in plain sight. Such operations are commonplace for those skilled at waging war by way of deception—the motto of the Israeli Mossad, the intelligence and foreign operations arm of the Jewish state.
From a geopolitical perspective, the appropriation of these “brands” mimics how Israel appropriated and systematically discredited Brand America. Over the six-decade history of this entangled alliance, our association with this enclave of nuclear-armed religious extremists cost us the global goodwill that an earlier generation earned at untold cost in blood and treasure.
The U.S. continues this perilous relationship only at great risk. Any nation that views this enclave as a legitimate sovereign state only further enables this trans-generational treachery.
Speaking of “deception”, some of the major Jewish American lobbying groups such as the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee, are not sincere in their speaking out against genocide.
For example, these groups, while asking others to commemorate the Holocaust, have for a very long time denied the factuality of the Armenian genocide and worked with Turkey, at the request of Israel, to stop the passage of a resolution in Congress that commemorates the Armenian Christian genocide committed by Turkey. This is hypocritical, to say the least.

Fortunately, there are plenty of Jewish American groups that have spoken out against such hypocrisy.

Imran Khan is no Gen. Collin Powell. Imran Khan is a Pakistani Cricket hero, and there are many of them beside him. He became the talk of the Jewish-controlled media world when he married (now divorced) to the second daughter of Lord Goldsmith, the third largest British donor to the Zionist state of Israel.
Imran Khan, like the most of Pakistan political partiy dynasties – owns his party too. He is an honest person but lacks grass-root support. He happens to be the only person ever elected on his party’s ticket. Having Zardari and Altaf Hussein or Sharif in USrael pocket – Imran Khan has no chance to be in good book of Israel Lobby.
First of all – anybody who believe Newsweek, Time, BBC, Fox News, CFR, FPJ, MEMRI, Wikipedia, etc. is either a con-man or a fool. These and many hundreds others are pro-Israel Hasbara (propaganda) outlets and their sole aim is to confuse people and keep them divided.
Most of Pakistani leaders suffer from inferiority complex. They love to give interviews to foreign magazines without realizing how their statements would be twisted to serve the enemies of Pakistan and Muslim world at large.

Thanks for your comment. The point of this analysis is to show how “field-based” warfare is waged in plain sight — in the shared field of consciousness. In this case, a field-based “property” of Colin Powell (his perceived credibility) was deployed as a psy-ops weapon to associate his credibility with fixed intelligence. Likewise, the field-based property for which Imran Khan is best known (his celebrity) was appropriated to breach the literacy barrier so that this provocation could read tens of millions of cricket fans who may never read Newsweek. Or who might (rightly) be suspect of such accounts.
The point is not the players but the field-based “properties” with which they are associated in that same shared mindset where “consensus” beliefs are created and generally accepted truths are sustained. The point is to grasp how the “properties” in the shared field of consciousness are used as weapons. When waging war “upstream” on that all-important field of battle, one of the most powerful weapons is the power of association. That power can be used to accredit—as with the use of the Colin Powell “brand” (as a military leader) to associate that credibility with false intelligence about Iraq’s mobile biological weapons laboratories.
Those waging this form of warfare knew that operation, in time, would discredit the U.S. Similarly, by associating celebrity, another field-based “property” (where else could credibility and celebrity reside?) with false intelligence about Koran desecration, the story gained plausibility and credibility — in that field. What the eye sees and the ear hears, the mind tends to believe. Those waging war on the U.S. (and, through us, on others) are skilled at displacing facts with what a targeted populace can be induced to believe. That’s what makes this relationship with these mindset manipulators so “special” as this entangled alliance destroyed our national security from the inside.
In committing fraud on such a scale, it’s the mindset itself that is “the mark.” The point of this commentary is to explain one of the various means by which war can be waged by way of deception—in plain sight. Do not kid yourself for a moment: those complicit in such psychological operations (still ongoing in real time) are waging war on the U.S. by inhabiting and corrupting those “in between” domains — those realms between us and the facts we require for informed choice. Thus, for example, their dominance in mainstream media.
There is no greater threat to self-governance and to what’s required to protect our freedom. Or, at this advanced stage in this systemic treason, to RESTORE our freedom. That’s why this sophisticated form of treason merits the death penalty as a matter of societal risk management — to set an example in nations worldwide so that Never Again can such systemic duplicity succeed on such a scale—and at such a cost in blood and treasure.
Those complicit in this ongoing treachery have devastated this nation—from the inside out. Several of our key allies are experiencing the same sort of systematic destruction of informed choice as this transnational syndicate imbedded itself in key “in between” domains worldwide, including media, education, think tanks, education and politics. I urge that visitors to this site periodically familiarize themselves with the clinical description of those complicit so that no one falls short of the resolve required to manage this systemic risk. It may prove useful to memorize the descriptors in bold:
psychopathy n. A mental disorder roughly equivalent to antisocial personality disorder, but with emphasis on affective and interpersonal traits such as superficial charm, pathological lying, egocentricity, lack of remorse, and callousness that have traditionally been regarded by clinicians as characteristic of psychopaths, rather than social deviance traits such as need for stimulation, parasitic lifestyle, poor behavioral controls, impulsivity, and irresponsibility that are prototypical of antisocial personality disorder. Whether psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder share a common referent is an open question.

If these people are expecting to look innocent to the black population then yes I think they will contemplate assassination. All they have to do is make some poor soul the scape goat. The effect would be etched in stone.

I certainly agree. I’m happy to have found your site because I hate, loath, and detest BLOODYISRAEL and everyone connected with them. I’m so sick and tired of listening to the LIES they spew, I don’t even have words to express my disgust. I left the USofBLOODYISRAEL before Boooooooooooooshee, the ridiculous, because the Loonies on the REICH were getting face-time, Rush, Hannity, ……………………. I have never looked back at the JUNTA of 2000, when BLOODYISRAEL took over the US, still looting the Treasury, sacking the US for BLOODYISRAEL, Rahmie, Zeke, Biden, LIEberman, Specter, Murdoch the Monster, Kissinger, Madoff/Abramoff, Geithner, Summers, Paulson, AIG, Citibank, WALLSTREETBANKSTERS.
THANKS FOR LETTING ME RANT/VENT..

Mere words can’t describe the degradation to which Americans have been subjected.
You apparently don’t have a lot of sheeple blood in you. It is reassuring to know there are other like minds out there.
Thanks Jeff, it’s great to have a place where you can share what you really think without being “moderated”!
I hope our fellow citizens get sick sick of their straight diet of sex, sports, beer and themselves soon!

That is their plan that you be confused.
You have a choice.
Most Americans are satisfied at this point dallying their time away on frivolous and selfish pursuits while handing over their country to an international and ancient band of thieves.
They believe they are well informed since they read about Angelina Jolie on Yahoo News and they are in good hands because the POTUS has dark skin!
TAKE YOUR CHOICE, IGNORANCE, CONFUSION OR TRUTH. THE TRUTH DOESN’T COME WITH FIVE MINUTES OF STUDY.

It’s high time for the 1.7 billion Muslims around the Globe to wake up to the fact that no American president including the so-called “secret Muslim” Barack Hussein Obama would be an unbaised negotiator when it comes to the Zionist entity. Scott McConnell in an article, titled “Obama’s Israel Test” (The American Conservative, March 10, 2009) explained why he or any other US presidents cannot give priority to American interests over Israel’s interests.
I know the readers will think I am going to talk about the Obama administration’s failed strategy to resolve the “mother of all Middle East problems”, the Zionist entity. Nope, this post is not related that festering problem – but Pierre Tristam, a Lebanon-born Christian-American journalist, who in an article under the heading “Why Pakistan is Barack Obama’s Biggest Middle East Challenge?”, wrote – that the only Muslim nuclear power, Pakistan, poses Obama the greatest challenge and not the nuclear Zionist entity, not Hamas, not Iraq, not Afghanistan, not even Islamic Iran in the Middle East. Let us forgive the Zionist-lobby idiot for his ignorance that both Pakistan and Afghanistan are not part of the Middle East, but are located in Southern Asia.
Pierre Tristam reason for chosing Pakistan as the greatest Obama challenge are the Pakistani Islamists. But that’s not something new as the Zionist leaders had declared in the 1940s – when the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, in his meeting with Mufti of Palestine, Amin al-Husseini, declared that the Muslims of Indian-subcontinent will never accept a Jewish state in Palestine. Pierre fears that “Islamists in the northwestern tribal areas of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan are gaining power and the Pakistani government of President Asif Ali Zardari appears inadequate or incompetent to deal with the threat, and beside bombing runs (funded mostly by Mossad-RAW-CIA), the United States hase no clear strategy to counter the militants’ surge. Internally, the Pakistan military may not be as loyal to the government as it has been in the past (because it were US-supported military dictators (4) who had ruled Pakistan during most part of its 62-year existence). Islamists have their loyalists in the Pakistan military too”.
One wonders why Pierre Tristam chose Pakistan, a country run by pro-Washington (with all four military dictators were interested to recognize the Zionist entity) secularist establishment since 1950s over Islamist run Iran, Hizb’Allah and Hamas? Could it be that the Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak, in his address at a forum sponsored by the Zionist think tank , Washington Institute for Near East Policy, admitted a few days ago that a nuclear Iran will not attack his county: “I don’t think the Iranians even if they got the bomb will drop it in the neighbourhood. They fully understand what might follow (death of millions of fellow Muslims in the Middle East along with Israeli Jews). they’re radical but not totally crazy. Iran has a quite sophisticated decision-making process and understand the reality…”
Pierre Tristam believes that Obama’s options to contain Pakistan turning into another anti-Israel Islamic state are limited – United states is not popular in Pakistan (he doesn’t mention the main reason for this dislike being Washington’s blind support for Israel). The country refuses to allow American forces to operate on its soil – another lie. Even the Jewish mainstream media outlet, The New York Times, admitted on February 3, 2010 that US has at least 200 combat soldiers in Pakistan and since September 11, 2001, 15 of them have been killed.
Pierre Tristam also claimed that though Islamabad “has reluctantly agreed, at least tacitly, to let unmanned drones enter Pakistani airspace and fire missiles at suspected insurgent targets from time to time, but rarely without condemning the attacks afterwards”. However, since the victims of these drone attack have been mostly civilians – “It has provided a fertile ground for the Islamists”. In January 2010, the US used the highest numbers of drones (12) so far – killing 123 innocent Pakistanis.
Pierre Tristam’s prescription for Obama is – more bribe money for anti-Islamist elites (Obama has promised US$15 billion during the next 10 year to Pakistan while US$30 billion to Israel during the same period, which is on top of Israel’s annual USAID of US$6 billion) and more itelligence (CIA, Mossad, MI6 and RAW) operatives in Pakistan especially in the Frontier Province along Afghanistan border.
Gilad Atzmon in his review of Philip Roth’s (a Jewish author) book “Plot Against America”, wrote: “While the (book’s) Nazi plot to run America is totally fictional, the Jewish plot to run America is more vivid than ever. Nowadays, when the American army is acting as an Israeli mission force in the Middle East, when Syria and Iran are just about to be flattened by Anglo-American might, it is rather clear what the meaning of the ‘plot Against America’ maybe”.

Jeff …
Great article! You are spot on when it comes to the use of “property”, credible and commercial, as PSYOP weapons … the media outlets are only tools to facilitate audience exposure.
Thank you for starting and maintaining dialogue on a subject of great importance. I would caution readers to avoid using words that many could describe as “hate speech” and focus on the facts; I am certain they will provide clarity where needed.

Thanks for your comment. Please direct your friends and colleagues to Guilt By Association. This problem can now be solved if, as you rightly say, people stick closely to the facts. This is not being done by a people, it is being done by those who share a mental state that they believe entitles them to act above the law as those Chosen — by a god of their own choosing. The facts confirm that members of The Lost Tribe of Israel (Mormons) play an critical supporting role in this trans-generational criminality and ongoing treason.

David Ray Griffin’s latest presentation of evidence that proves without a doubt the government’s false and preposterous explanation that Muslims living in caves using hijacked airplanes destroyed the THREE buildings at the World Trade Center on that fateful day.
Everyone knows that two buildings were hit by airplanes and collapsed. Many do not know that a third building, #7 collapsed also. It was not hit by an airplane and was situated across the street from the WTC site more than 350 feet from building #1. As seen in videos, it collapsed in it’s own footprint in a matter of seconds with the remarkable signature of a planned building demolition, just like buildings 1 & 2.
A government report could not provide a satisfactory explanation and stated that it collapsed in sympathy with the other two buildings that were struck by airplanes. Is that statement preposterous or what?
