- Recent Articles posted on Rense.Com (http://www.rense.com
- see below this article for a full listing) have discussed concerns over
the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons and have alluded to current
US plans to capture Paki nuclear warheads in the event of a fundamentalist
Muslim coup overthrowing Pakistan s pro USA leadership.
-
- Obviously such stories will have stirred up pre-existing
Paki paranoia about possible US or Israeli intentions regarding the Muslim
BOMB and other existing Paki nuclear infrastructure. These news stories
will therefore have promptly ensured that the Paki Nukes have been even
more deeply hidden and protected, thereby removing any possibility that
US troops could easily locate and secure same. It would appear that the
USA cannot keep secrets or else someone is playing another kind of intel
game ???
-
- I can add some personally gleaned info regarding the
Paki nuclear bomb programme and quite recent historical designs against
it by the USA and Israel that your readers might find of interest. The
following information was provided several years ago by credible persons
in Pakistan and India - whom I have no reason to believe were
lying.
-
- In 1988 I, and a fellow geologist, travelled to Pakistan
to inspect some gold and platinum group metal (PGM) mineral prospects
for a consortium of Australian investors. We flew from Perth, Western
Australia,
to Bangkok, Thailand, to connect with a Pakistan Airlines 747 jumbo jet
for passage on to Pakistan s capital - Islamabad.
-
- In Bangkok our small Swiss Army pocket knives were
confiscated
by Paki Flight Attendants before we were allowed onto the Paki jumbo jet.
The entire rear half of this jet was a giant cargo hold - passengers were
only carried in the front section - forward of the main wing. There were
several Paki secret service agents on board - each armed with small
automatic
machine pistols. We saw them standing around the aircraft prior to their
boarding - after all passengers had boarded and ground crew had departed
the area. We set next to one in the upper deck business class. He proudly
showed us his machine pistol and informed us the intense security was
due to the nature of the cargo - namely nuclear components for the Paki
bomb project.
-
- This jet had just arrived from the USA en-route to
Pakistan
- it was a good bet that the nuclear components were of US origin ???
Yet extant World press stories suggested this Paki bomb was a totally
home-grown affair, or possibly aided by Chinese technology transfer
???
-
- It is an interesting mental exercise to travel in front
of a batch of nuclear bomb components flying over the Indian Ocean quite
close to Pakistan's avowed enemy - India.
-
- Upon arrival in Islamabad we forwarded on an internal
flight to Quetta in central western Pakistan. Quetta is currently in the
news re the US war on the Taliban. It is an amazing place. I considered
Quetta to be a modern version of a Wild West town - say Dodge City or
Tombstone.
Every other person had a Kalashnikov automatic rifle slung over his
shoulder,
or a revolver, or a wicked looking large curved dagger in his waste band
- often all three.
-
- The Afghan-Russian war was in full swing and the town
was full of Afghan refugees. The markets had rows of Russian army
uniforms,
shirts, boots etc., and those fur "bear" caps with little Russian
Red stars on them - all for sale at very cheap prices. Every one of these
uniforms or hats had a small calibre dark red-lined hole right through
it and was often dark stained over a larger area - visible in-spite of
obvious attempts at cleaning. It was fairly easy to see how the previous
owner had been persuaded to part with his clothes.
-
- You could buy any kind of weapon in the market place
or you could visit backyard factories where they specialised in working
copies of modern guns. The Sten gun and the Uzi were some of their
favourites
- both being fairly easy to fabricate in a primitive middle ages style
metal work shop. Yep, Quetta was a really wild place - yet quite likeable
in a sort of John Wayne sense.
-
- In company with Paki Government Geological Survey
geologists,
drivers, and field assistants we drove by light truck from Quetta on the
highway running west towards the Iranian border. This highway runs just
south of Afghanistan through fairly rugged dusty mountains and across very
desolate volcanic explosive debris deserts. There is very little vegetation
in sight anywhere. It felt a bit like living in my childhood "Boys
Own Annual" stories of the North-West Frontier, or in a Colonel Harry
Flashman adventure. There were armed soldiers, checkpoints, and hill forts
- literally armed with muzzle and breech loading canon (of British Raj
vintage) - every few miles. I kept expecting to see Gunga Din come over
the hill at any moment.
-
- This Western Highway was built by the British in 1938
to supply their operations in Iran and Iraq during WW II. I can attest
that that was obviously the last time it saw tarmac and a smooth surface
and that consequently our progress was slow and very bumpy - it often
being better to drive off the road. I am used to very poor quality
Australian
bush roads and can confirm that Pakistan has developed the art of poor
roads to greater heights - even surpassing some Mexican Baja
highways.
-
- We were guarded by two truck loads of Kalashnikov toting
troopers from the "Horan Rifles". This fine band of men were
there to stop zealous Mujahdin from Afghanistan kidnapping us and selling
us back to our home country for a US$ Million each as had apparently been
happening recently to the odd luckless foreign aid worker. Non of this
was known to us - as it had not made our Australian press. But we were
assured by Paki army officers that the Australian government had recently
coughed up $2 Million for two of our fellow countrymen engaged in aid
work, and that this was a far from unique experience that had also been
enjoyed by the USA and other Western nations. Apparently the money was
used to buy weapons to fight the Russians.
-
- Our guardians were eager to please and we would stop
for lunch and blaze away with their guns at distant hillside rocks with
prodigious quantities of ammo. I particularly liked a sort of Chinese Bren
Gun clone and our soldiers would cheer with genuine delight if I managed
to hit the target rock. We spent several days traversing the region west
of Quetta, sometimes staying in military forts, and at other times camped
under the stars.
-
- Around the camp fire (as you do) we told stories and
discussed the world's problems comparing our differing points of view.
These were all good men - our Pathan guides especially so. Being border
Pakis they all had relatives from the same tribe who were technically
Afghans
by virtue of where they lived. The border was actually non-existent other
than a line drawn on maps. It being located within very rugged mountains
where only the passes were guarded.
-
- Drug smuggling and general brigandry were popular forms
of local endeavour, to which had recently been added gun and ammo smuggling
for the war against Russia.
-
- One afternoon we saw on our southern horizon a large
dark range of mountains. Glancing at the geology map of Pakistan I noticed
this was a large ultramafic complex, so being professionally interested
in such rock types and their potential for Nickel and PGE mineralisation,
I asked if we could visit same.
-
- My Paki geologist associates laughed and said this was
THE ONE place in Pakistan that we could not go - nor could they - it was
host to the Paki nuclear bomb project facility in deep underground tunnels.
This was where they manufactured and stored the Muslim bomb.
-
- Anyone attempting to go into those mountains would be
shot dead - no questions asked. The Paki Geological Survey had some field
geology mapping parties beaten up just for venturing near those ranges.
[Just imagine say the USGS field guys being beaten up for venturing near
some US Secret facility in say Colorado, or the BGS crews being beaten
up for venturing near Salisbury Plain.]
-
- After three weeks of travel and a host of adventures
worthy of a Kipling novel we returned to Quetta to fly out to Islamabad
and thence home. After take-off, one of the Paki geologists travelling
with us showed me that morning's local Quetta Newspaper. There was a
headline story about a band of "Communist's" who had been
apprehended
the previous night hiding at the end of the Quetta airstrip armed with
Russian shoulder launched anti-aircraft missiles. Their
"interrogation"
by Paki police had led to the conclusion they were intending to shoot
down the morning flight to Islamabad - our flight.
-
- I was thus quite relieved that our rock assays
demonstrated
no interesting gold or PGM values and we were not required to return to
Quetta. I had found Pakistan to be a fascinating place full of
contradictions,
but on the whole better socially organised for the support of the poor
than I had seen in India - this being apparently a Muslim support thing.
Even the poorest family had a tent to live in whereas at this time in
India the poor lived in the street or under the stars. The wisdom of such
poor countries building nuclear bombs eluded me completely then - and
still does today.
-
- Several years later (in 1996), I was back in the
sub-continent
working in India looking at defunct British Raj Victorian era gold
deposits
for possible re-development. I had dinner one evening with our Indian
agent at his Delhi residence. This old gentleman was well placed in Indian
Government power broking circles. One of his equally well placed relatives
joined us for whisky after dinner. This person was a serving senior
intelligence
officer in the Indian Airforce.
-
- Over a good malt (as you do) we discussed our careers,
work, and the world. He informed me he had been a fighter pilot during
the last Indian - Pakistan war, and described his dangerous moments. I
mentioned my geological expedition inside Pakistan a few years earlier
and described my experiences near the "Nuclear Mountain
Range".
-
- Then he stated that India had (just a few years
previously)
been approached by the US Government with a "crazy plan" for
a joint Israeli-US-Indian attack against the very same Paki Nuclear Bomb
Facility and other nuclear infrastructure - such as reactors etc. This
feeler approach was made just a couple of years after Israel had bombed
the Iraqi nuclear reactor and bomb development facilities.
-
- The "crazy plan" involved Israeli jet bombers
flying non stop from Israel over the Arabian Sea, being refuelled by USAF
aerial tankers en-route, and attacking targets inside Pakistan. These
aircraft would approach Pakistan - from the south-west and would utilise
micro nukes to achieve their tasks.
-
- A couple of US aircraft carriers would be located south
of Pakistan to offer air support in suppressing Paki radar and fighters
etc., and to pick up any pilots if needed, or to act as emergency landing
fields for damaged aircraft. The attacking aircraft were to eventually
depart Pakistan flying south and then divert south-east into India for
refuelling and servicing at Indian Air Force bases prior to flying home
to Israel over the Arabian Sea with further USAF tanker support
en-route.
-
- India rejected this plan outright as they considered
it far too crazy with a high possibility of it going completely and
horribly
wrong. They considered that Pakistan would certainly believe the attack
had been arranged and sourced from India, and that therefore India could
easily find undamaged Paki nukes coming back their way in retaliation.
At the very least it would probably precipitate a major war between
Pakistan
and India. There was also a reasonable fear that Israeli and US jets might
actually attack Indian nuclear facilities near Bombay under the guise
of the same plan.
-
- At this time there was general ill will in Indian
government
circles towards Israel and the USA - caused by Mossad and CIA support for
the Tamil Tiger insurgency in southern India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka).
Apparently
India views Mossad as the major supplier of arms and training to the Tamil
Tigers. In Indian eyes both the CIA and Mossad were therefore ultimately
responsible for (if not directly complicit in) the then recent terrorist
bombing murder of the Indian Prime-Minister - Mr. Ghandi.
-
- Interestingly the USA Bush administration has now branded
the Tamil Tigers as a terrorist organisation. When will it do the same
to Mossad and the CIA ???
-
- The Indian refusal of the US-Israeli plan should also
be seen in the context of the post war history of Indo-US affairs - such
as provocative US aircraft carrier task force action in the Bay of Bengal
during the last Indo-Pak war. Indian aircraft were actually en-route to
attack a USN nuclear aircraft carrier located south of Calcutta but were
recalled after the US and Indian leaders reached a last minute hotline
understanding. India has long seen the US as supporting Pakistan in her
fight with India over Kashmir etc.
-
- In fact go back far enough in time and you will find
that many Indians blame the USA for political manipulation and covert
action that led to religious civil war and the break up of Greater India
after WWII into Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India. Churchill actually blamed
Mountbatten and never forgave him for complicity in this USA design. This
geo-political game appears to have been motivated by a desire to reduce
the economic power potential of Greater India in the post war world. The
pot has been kept boiling over a long time by several wars and skirmishes
against either the Pakistanis or the Chinese - sometimes both. [Today the
front line in Kashmir is highly dangerous with regular active artillery
fire and skirmishes plus infiltration of Muslim guerrilla terrorist bands
across the border].
-
- Thus Indian military and government officials had no
particular reason to trust the US-Israel plan re bombing the Paki nuke
facilities. In fact the entire proposal could have killed two birds with
one stone so to speak by taking out the Muslim bomb AND igniting another
war between India and Pakistan - to keep them both embroiled and thus
unable
to aspire to greater economic heights and the big boy power league. The
"Divide and Rule Policy" still reigns supreme - long after the
passage of perfidious Albion.
-
- My friendly Hindu Indian intelligence officer then mused
that Israel and the USA would almost certainly ultimately "get"
the Paki bomb - "since these Zionists could not stand the idea of
a Muslim bomb as it was such a threat to Israel's long term goals and
their very existence".
-
- Pakistan therefore has a genuine right to its
"paranoia"
concerning designs against its nukes. Pakistan should definitely wonder
how safe its nuclear industry and its nuclear bombs are in the current
"War on Terrorism". But that might not be the only worry for
Pakistan.
-
- The real issue could well be that US military actions
are aimed not only at grabbing control of Afghanistan, but at stirring
the pot in Pakistan to catalyse the creation of a "popular"
Muslim
uprising and a Paki civil war. During civil war all manner of incursions
and incidents can occur - such as actions against nuclear weapon stores
and ultimately taking covert control of an entire country???
-
- Civil wars - or revolutions - can be relatively easily
taken over in their closing stages by a simple push to the main popular
revolutionary vector - eg. the Russian Revolution and the late power grab
by Lenin utilising Western funding to buy and terrorise his way into
control,
or the Iranian revolution and the late arrival of the Ayatollah from his
well funded Parisian safe house hibernation.
-
- In both these cases the apparent prizes for the funding
sources behind these figureheads were huge - namely (1) control of Russian
oil and other resources and a pivotal chess piece in the game of planetary
control that ultimately created the Berlin Wall encompassed slave empire
of the USSR and it s satellites , and (2) the removal of a deluded God
(the Shah of Iran - originally emplaced by a CIA designed and executed
revolution - who replaced the previous British emplaced ruler) and
ultimately
thereby control of both the Iranian and eventually the Iraqi oil
output.
-
- Stalin first reared his head well before the Russian
Revolution whilst organising the Baku oil workers to burn down the oil
fields there. This action benefited the early Rockerfella New York based
Standard Oil company in its distribution fight in Asia against Samuels
London based Shell Oil. Later after Lenin figure-headed the take over
of the Russian Revolution Stalin pounced and took control of Russia. Was
Russia thereafter a country subverted and covertly controlled by certain
"Big Oil" interests?
-
- The Ayatollah and Sadam Hussein soon obliged Big OIl
by leading Iran and Iraq into a major war that required the trade of their
copious oil production to fund their arms and food requirements - bought
at expensive rates from the West, Russia, China, and North Korea by
shipments
of very cheap oil.
-
- The terrorist strikes against the USA on September 11
have provided the excuse for the US to now carryout big stick policies
against Afghanistan with the stated aim to remove the Taliban from control
and to grab or kill Osama bin Laden. Several reporters have recently
pointed
out the existence of huge oil resources in the northern Caspian region
and a requirement by "Big Oil" to build a pipeline to get this
oil to the western market via Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Arabian
sea. There is also a possible need to re-instate the world opium and
heroin
trade after Taliban interference with same. Thus there exists a big need
to install a friendly king or ruler in both of these countries too.
-
- The horrors of September 11 have turned out to be so
terribly convenient.
-
- There have been other similarly convenient events
affecting
Muslim countries in recent times:-
-
- Recently the World's largest Muslim country - Indonesia
- has seen an increase in internal dissent that has lead to fears amongst
her political elite that the country could be in progress of dismemberment
into an Asian Balkans. These insurrectional activities followed on rapidly
from the great Bre-Ex Busang gold mine scandal and attempts by then
President
Suharto to grab majority equity control of this supposedly huge gold
resource.
-
- At one time it was alleged that the newly
"discovered"
Busang mine rivalled the Witwatersrand South African Gold Fields in ore
reserves size. The Canadian promoters of Bre-EX made fortunes on the stock
exchange with this wonderful "fairy story".
-
- Ex-President George Bush, Sr. was reportedly pushing
for "his" US mining giant Barrack Gold to acquire a major share
holding in this new monster gold deposit. Suharto played his control hand
grabbing a huge personal family equity from the grasp of Bre-Ex and
Barrack
Gold, then came the discovery that the gold resource had been deliberately
salted, their geologist committed "suicide" by jumping out of
a transport plane (no body found). You have to laugh about these rogues
all fighting over a non existent scam - there is a God.
-
- This was rapidly followed by the Asian Financial Crisis,
which, according to Malaysian Prime Minister Mahatir, was caused by the
US Treasury and George Soros collectively and deliberately manipulating
Asian currency markets. Indonesian currencies fell to unheard of low
levels
against the US Dollar. Then internal civil wars flared up across Indonesia
involving previously little heard of local "Peoples Fronts".
All this instability led rapidly to the apparent removal of Suharto from
power and his replacement by a democratic leader.
-
- Suharto was yet another CIA installed asset who
apparently
forgot where his bread had been buttered. Noriega, the Shah, Sadam
Hussein,
and Suharto - all anointed despots who strayed - three of them on George
Bush Snr's watch .
-
- This orchestrated destabilisation of the Indonesian
Empire
then culminated in Indonesia's loss of East Timor (previously stolen by
Indonesiafrom the Timorese people - after the withdrawal of the previous
Colonial overlord - Portugal). There was thereby a change of ownership
in the vast new oil fields recently located mid-way between Australia
and East Timor - in the Timor Sea. To great acclaim Australian and UN
troops moved into East Timor to stabilise the change of resource ownership
and restore "democracy" to the Timorese - under UN rule.
-
- Of coursem, no one can deny that Indonesian military
atrocities against the Timorese, or their other archipelago minorities,
were, and continue to be, unacceptably oppressive, and like the medieval
Taliban, that they are fully deserving of rapid removal from
"office".
Of course one should not look too closely at who installed these regimes
or trained and armed them in the first place.
-
- Having worked and travelled in several Arab and Muslim
countries I am certain that the present US bombing actions in Afghanistan
coupled with their labelling of Osama bin Laden (without presentation
of real proof) will eventually trigger major internal dissent in many
Muslim countries. This will easily lead to civil war in Pakistan, Egypt,
Saudi Arabia, and possibly Indonesia and other Muslim states.
-
- Any Muslim leaders supporting the US line on
"Terrorism"
will, apart from being similarly guilty of humbug, become a target for
assassination. Saudi Arabia is already reported to be in the throws of
a power struggle within the royal family as to who is to replace an ailing
king, that is quite apart from other Saudi forces who dislike that
particular
royal family line with great intensity.
-
- Now a series of Muslim civil war/revolutions would open
up untold opportunities for "Big Oil's" covert behind the scenes
boys. The list of possible booty could including the Paki nukes, access
for Caspian oil to the west via a "tamed" Afghanistan and
Pakistan,
control over the vast Saudi oil reserves, and a fully dismembered
Indonesian
empire and control of her offshore oil assets. If Sadam Hussein, and Iraq,
are also re-invoked and finally handled then the enemies of Israel would
have all but been eliminated, and the known mega oil fields of the planet
would have been just about fully tied up. Not to mention a probably
sizeable
reduction in planetary population on the way.
-
- Now that could take 50 years - as advertised.
-
- Divide and Rule is the name of the Game - with the prize
being total control of the entire planet's known mega oil reserves - that,
ultimately, means control of you...
-
- Now, if you are still tempted to believe that such
conspiracies
do not happen outside of the Conspiracy Theorists head then I have one
final tale to tell.
-
- In the mid to late 1970's I worked for the Anaconda
Mining
Company of Denver, USA in their Australian exploration operations. The
company had been taken over by the Atlantic Richfield Oil Company. ARCO
was a spin off from Standard Oil - demanded by US anti-trust
laws...somewhat
similar to the court ordered dismemberment of Bell Telephone. ARCO was
ruled by a President appointed by the incumbent Rockerfella from out of
his senior Standard Oil staff. Anaconda had seen it's major assets (huge
copper mines in Chile) nationalised by the new democratically elected
socialist ruler of Chile - one Salvador Allende.
-
- On a visit to the USA I was entertained with several
other geologists to dinner by the chief geologist of ARCO in Dallas. He
spent the entire dinner crowing about how the CIA coup that had overthrown
Allende had been arranged by him and his boss with the CIA - at the urging
of Rockefeller who was pissed-off with the loss of his copper mines and
paid for their return and the demise of Allende. This was the coup that
installed General Pinochet as dictator of Chile.
-
- The date of that very successful Chilean coup d'etat
was September 11th (1973).
-
- Obviously, just another co-incidence.
