Israel, Mossad, Iran and a Nuclear False Flag Attack
by R. Leland Lehrman

Updated: July 28, 2005

This article is excerpted from the complete version available here:
http://www.physics911.net/nuclearfalseflagdraft.htm

On April 18th of 2005, I released a public advisory, reproduced below, regarding the danger of a faked nuclear attack on America, to be staged by rogue British, American and Israeli Mossad operatives, assisted by select criminal, compromised, drug-addicted or mind-controlled "Muslim" patsies and designed to support a global war against Iran and Islam. With Congress in recess and Bush on vacation, the exact conditions preceeding the 9/11 attacks are now being replicated. The attack would also be used to further legitimate the building of the genocidal wall in Jerusalem and possibly even an expansion of, rather than a pullout from, the settlements in Gaza and the West Bank in furtherance of total Israeli dominance in the Middle East. The attack would be aided by Israeli partisans in the United States, and will be stage-managed in the Congress by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and its attendant PR firms and media empires. As a descendant of Russian Jews, I consider it a particularly important civic responsibility to expose the deception and danger of Zionism and its terrorist agency, the Mossad, who will probably furnish the patsies. The Mossad is a leading candidate for architect of the 9/11 attacks. This suppressed German Intelligence document reveals how senior Israelis knew in advance about the attacks and "urgently wished that no attempt was made to prevent the attacks." Here’s a longer quote:

"It is very evident from surveillance conducted against Mossad agents in the Federal Republic as well as interceptions of Israeli diplomatic communication from the Federal Republic to Tel Aviv, that the Mossad has successfully penetrated various extremist Arab groups in both the Federal Republic and the United States.

These investigations disclosed in late May of 2001 that an attack was to be made against certain specified targets in the American cities of Washington and New York. But it was apparent that the Mossad was not only fully aware of these attacks well in advance but actually, through their own agents inside these Arab groups, assisted in the planning and the eventual execution of the attacks.

That the Israeli government was fully aware of these attacks is absolutely certain and proven. Diplomatic traffic between the Israeli Embassy in the Federal Republic and the Israeli Foreign Office made it very clear that Minister President Sharon was fully aware of this pending attack and urgently wished that no attempt was made to prevent the attacks.

Although the Israeli officials were instructed to warn the American intelligence community that some kind of an attack might be possible, at no time were the specific dates and targets (known at that time to Israeli officials) to be given to the Americans.

The rationale for this attitude was expressed in a conversation on August 1, 2001, between the Israeli Military Attache in the Federal Republic to a member of the Israeli General Staff. There it was stated that Israel believed an attack on the continental United States would so inflame American public opinion that they would permit Israel to "cleanse" their state of "Arab terrorists and those who support such terrorists". This "cleansing" was explained as the expulsion of all Arabs, and even Christian groups, from the Palestine area."

The physics911.net website has additional supporting evidence for Mossad involvement in 9/11 in its background information section. Although the Mossad has been caught perpetrating fake terrorist operations, most people still don’t know about it. It is often asserted that Israel and Zionism are in fact themselves patsies of the Anglo-American establishment, but given the fact that Talmudic Zionists like the Rothschilds have controlled international central banking and freemasonry for centuries, I am not convinced of that hypothesis, though I include it here for balance. Interestingly, at the very core of secret Freemasonry doctrine is what is known as British Israelism, an assertion that the British are in fact a lost tribe of Israel and that as such Britain is included in the proverbial covenant of the Chosen People. Who is at the top of the Pyramid? Why, Lucifer himself of course, whether you acknowledge it metaphorically or literally. All the "identifiable groups" are expendable within the divide and conquer methodology.

Since the US Army War College already acknowledges that the Mossad "has capability to target US forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act," it may well be that the FBI has finally realized how dangerous the Israeli Fifth Column is, having begun to tighten the noose around the legendary Israeli spying operation in America by arresting Larry Franklin, Doug Feith’s deputy in the Office of Special Plans, origin of the fraudulent Iraqi weapons of mass destruction intelligence. Not yet indicted, but identified as Co-Conspirator 1 and 2 along with Franklin are the two top AIPAC operatives to whom he passed higly classified intel: Steven Rosen, head of Policy and Keith Weissman, Iran specialist. Israeli sources expect Weissman and Rosen to be indicted for espionage in the coming weeks.

Perhaps the two largest factions of the New World Order, Skull and Bones and the Zionists are now going into open warfare, as the Bush Administration attempts to clean out the neoconservatives, discipline the Israeli military and enforce the two state solution.

Predictably, the word in pro-Zionist circles is that the FBI investigation by Counter Intelligence Chief David Szady into the Larry Franklin affair is anti-semitic and driven by a CIA old guard. Some "Russian" security sources which cannot be confirmed provide tantalizing intelligence suggesting the same thing, and repeat the meme of a nuclear terrorist attack in the USA, staged by the Zionist/Skull and Bones hierarchy including their neoconservative covert agents.

Victor Ostrovsky, Mossad defector, has indicated that George Bush Senior may have been targeted by Mossad for assassination due to his attempt at enforcing a two state solution through cancellation of American loan guarantees to Israel during a "peace process" he started. George W. Bush continues at least the appearance of peace talks as related in The Jewish Press: "Bush made his position clear: Israel’s settlement expansion in the West Bank must stop. ?I told the prime minister of my concern that Israel not undertake any activity that contravenes "road map" obligations or prejudices final-status negotiations,? Bush said, referring to the ?road map? peace plan his administration launched three years ago. ?Therefore, Israel should remove unauthorized outposts and meet its road map obligations regarding settlements in the West Bank.? Of course, staging a fight is an easy thing to do when you are a professional deceiver, which description suits both Zionists and Bonesmen quite well. After all, the source for Ostrovsky’s allegation was most probably former head of Mossad Ephraim Halevy, now national security advisor to Ariel Sharon and the author of a recent call to perpetual world war with Islam. Halevy’s other famous warning was that "should one of the more severe scenarios come to pass, the United States will have no choice but to deepen its presence in the Middle East. To that end, it will have to renew the draft, to ensure that there are enough forces to deal with developing situations in countries like Saudi Arabia."

The AIPAC affair is only the tip of a giant iceberg that goes back even beyond the Balfour Declaration and the role of Zionists in precipitating America’s involvement in World War I. It is now generally acknowledged that Lord Balfour’s letter to Lord Rothschild - allowing for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine - led to a massive shift in allegiance by international elitist Zionists from the Axis to the Allies. The British, under "Lawrence of Arabia" managed to convince the Arabs to fight with them against the Turkish Ottoman Empire, which allied with Germany. However, the Palestinians were betrayed to the Zionists and the "United Nations" after Britain’s attempts at keeping the peace were destroyed by Israeli terrorists such as eventual Prime Minister, Menachem Begin. The Balfour Declaration also led to the massive pressure applied by American Zionists like Louis Brandeis and Bernard Baruch, head of the War Industries Board, on President Woodrow Wilson to enter the war and to create a one world government [League of Nations] as prophesied by David Ben Gurion in Look Magazine, 1962. Indeed, Benjamin Freedman, a high-level Jewish defector from Zionism who was part of the Wilson administration stated openly that International Zionists guaranteed American assistance to the Allies in World War I in return for the Balfour Declaration. The thesis certainly fits the facts. Here is Freedman’s statement: "They [the Zionists] told England: ’We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you win the war.’ In other words, they made this deal: ’We will get the United States into this war as your ally. The price you must pay us is Palestine after you have won the war and defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey.’" Freedman goes on to state that even Zionist leaders such as Nahum Sokolow acknowledged that "the feeling against the Jews in Germany is due to the fact that they realized that this great defeat (WWI) was brought about by our (Zionist) intercession and bringing the United States into the war against them." Freedman also acknowledges the British use of Zionism in furtherance of its own aims.

Peering back into history with Freedman, we watch as Freedman paints a vivid scene: "I was ’confidential man’ to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., who was chairman of the Finance Committee, and I was liaison between him and Rollo Wells, the treasurer. So I sat in these meetings with President Wilson at the head of the table, and all the others, and I heard them drum into President Wilson’s brain the graduated income tax and what has become the Federal Reserve, and also indoctrinate him with the Zionist movement. Justice Brandeis and President Wilson were just as close as the two fingers on this hand, and President Woodrow Wilson was just as incompetent when it came to determining what was going on as a newborn baby. And that’s how they got us into World War I, while we all slept."

This background is necessary because those without a grasp of it will be less able to understand and assimilate what I must now relate, which is that the plan to take American into a war with Iran, which is supposed to be a global war with Islam to precede one world dictatorship, continues apace with increasing warnings from the military, the press and the research community regarding a nuclear or other major attack on America, perhaps as soon as this August.

Fortunately, due to the heroic efforts of the alternative media, the London bombings have now been exposed as another terrorist exercise gone live by executive New World Order. We have now seen two terrorist attacks masked by what are called drills: 9/11 and 7/7. When is the next terrorist attack drill slated for the USA?

This August.

What type of attack does the drill "simulate."

A nuclear attack.

According to Dr. Stephen Sniegoski, writing for the excellent website War Without End, and elsewhere on the internet, "Richard Perle was the big hit of this May’s AIPAC conference in Washington with his call for an attack on Iran. The danger of Iran was featured in an AIPAC multimedia show, "Iran’s Path to the Bomb." As the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank described the multimedia show: "The exhibit, worthy of a theme park, begins with a narrator condemning the International Atomic Energy Agency for being ?unwilling to conclude that Iran is developing nuclear weapons? (it had similar reservations about Iraq) and the Security Council because it ?has yet to take up the issue.? In a succession of rooms, visitors see flashing lights and hear rumbling sounds as Dr. Seuss-like contraptions make yellowcake uranium, reprocess plutonium, and pop out nuclear warheads like so many gallons of hummus for an AIPAC conference."

Worse still, former CIA/DIA agent Philip Giraldi exposes current US nuclear preparations for a response to another 9/11 type attack:

"Philip Giraldi, Deep Background

The American Conservative August 1, 2005 p. 27

In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran. The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing?that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack?but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections."

It is certainly gratifying to see that American Conservatives like the magazine doing the above reporting are as aware of the current administration’s dangerous tendencies as American Liberals. But will Americans from all political persuasions join together soon enough to thwart the danger?

It’s up to you.

Corsi pointed out the cleric-led regime has said it’s willing to take 200 million casualties in the world as long as a nuclear conflagration ultimately destroyed the state of Israel.

They mean it when they say "death to Israel" and "death to the United States," he said.

"Their rabid anti-Semitic Jewish hatred is almost identical to what we saw from Hitler, and with Hitler we had a holocaust that killed 6 million Jews and a World War that killed at least another 60 million."

The newly formed Iran Freedom Foundation has launched two television commercials warning that American cities are vulnerable to attack by an improvised nuclear device detonated by Iranian-backed terrorists.

Titled "An Atomic 9-11: When Evil is Appeased," the spots are based on a scenario described in the new WND Books release "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," by Jerome R. Corsi, co-author of the best-selling "Unfit for Command."

Fake terrorists-covert psy-war units of western intelligence-always invent a name of an "unknown" group. They have to do this, of course. If they claimed, say, that the PLO did it, the accused would energetically deny it, spoiling the show. So they use fictitious identities, which they can mold to suit the target of convenience.

Another possible motive, says Tarpley, is that the war party want to push Bush into Iran, but America has no stomach for it. They need another 9/11 so they can occupy both the Iraqi and Iranian oil fields, and hold the world, all of us, to ransom.

War and rumors of war-reports of covert American commando operations against targets inside Iran have prepared the ground for war. A storm of anti-American sentiment was aroused, sweeping the elections against the reformers in favor of radical dark horse candidate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad-in turn paving the way to mobilize a war coalition against Iran. Failing that, he may replace Saddam as symbol of vilification while keeping Iran shackled by backward fundamentalism.

Tarpley’s book has a chapter named "Islamic Fundamentalism: Fostered by U. S. Foreign Policy." It’s a policy going back to the 19th century British Arab Bureau, crown purveyors of divide and conquer tactics, who hit on xenophobic fundamentalism as the tool to make the Arabs impossible partners for alliances with any of Britain’s rivals.

    WARNING: TERRORIST THREAT

    AN IMMEDIATE SERIOUS AND CREDIBLE THREAT TO YOUR SAFETY

    There is an immediate risk of a terrorist attack on a civilian target using biochemical, radioactive or nuclear weapons of mass destruction.

    America and Britain are the first countries on Osama bin Laden’s list of al-Qaeda targets, followed by "France, Italy, Canada, Germany and Australia" (BBC News). The American government has immunised 15,000 emergency workers and has initiated an emergency mass vaccination procedure to protect the public (BBC News). The British government has prepared a mass smallpox vaccination program to be implimented in the event of a bioterrorist attack (BBC News) and is stockpiling enough doses for the entire population (BBC News).

    There is evidence of a current threat in Britain after recent counter-terrorist operations in London (BBC News, BBC News, BBC News, This is London). The British government’s Chief Medical Officer has called London a ’prime target’ for terrorist attacks and a poster and TV campaign has been planned to inform the general public about the risks and precautions. The government advice is to use an improvised gas masks in the event of a poisoned gas attack. (BBC News.)

    It may seem unlikely that a terrorist attack will affect you, and indeed it is, but the government is taking the risk seriously and so should you. The authorities are unable to warn the public without intelligence about a specific threat, but we are able to alert you here and now. Terrorists may strike with weapons of mass destruction at any time and without warning. Take responsibility for your own survival and start preparing yourself today.

    TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN SURVIVAL. BE VIGILANT. KNOW THE SIGNS. KNOW THE RISKS. LEARN HOW TO SURVIVE. REHEARSE YOUR PROTECTIVE MEASURES. START PLANNING IMMEDIATELY.

    POISON GAS

    The type of weapon most likely to be used in a terrorist attack is lethal gas, such as a nerve gas. The nerve gas sarin can be produced, purchased, transported, and deployed, cheaply and easily. Sarin is a weapon of mass destruction and a pin-prick size dose is fatal. It is usually used in a confined space and has been used before in a terrorist attacks on underground train stations. Sarin gas rapidly disables the nervous system, causing paralysis of the body including the lungs, resulting in suffocation.

    WARNING SIGNS
    In a poisoned gas attack people around you will suddenly appear extremely distressed. Victims initially suffer serious breathing difficulties. Common symptoms include severe headache, coughing, weeping eyes, sweating, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting. Initial symptoms are quickly followed by paralysis and immobility, suffocation, unconsciousness and death if exposure is not discontinued.

    PROTECTION
    In the event of a suspected poisoned gas attack, you must escape into open air immediately. If immediate escape is impossible, for instance in an subway or underground train station, you may not survive long enough to escape unless you have a gas mask. If no gas mask is available, breathe gently through an ordinary DIY dust mask or layers of fabric or clothing, although this more dangerous than using a proper filter. Sarin is heavier than air, so distance yourself from the affected area, and get above it by climbing stairs if possible. If you have already inhaled gas, escape urgently before paralysis begins.

    RESUSCITATION
    Away from the gas, victims who are paralysed and unable to breathe can easily be kept alive until the effects wear off by artificial ventilation. For mouth-to-mouth resuscitation pierce a hole in a plastic bag and beware of residual toxin. Victims who have lost consciousness can be also kept alive by inflating and deflating their lungs with air, and revived using standard resuscitation procedures.

    ACTION
    If you travel on underground trains we strongly recommend that you purchase a gas mask or respirator immediately and keep it readily accessible on every journey. A standard respirator fitted with vapour filters is available from your local DIY shop or home improvement store, and this will protect you from inhaling sarin long enough to escape. Breathing through a filter can help safeguard against many other forms of poison gas, and also offers effective protection against inhaling ordinary smoke, or radioactive fallout dust from a "dirty nuke".

    BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS (BIO-TERRORISM OR GERM WARFARE)

    Biological weapons are the most devastating weapons of mass destruction, but they are easily available, cheap, easy to mass produce, easy to conceal, and easy to deploy. A single bioterrorist attack could cause ten times as many deaths as a nuclear bomb. Because some bioweapons are contagious and resistant to antibiotics, they can spread swiftly through an unprotected population, potentially causing epidemics and plagues. There may be no knowledge of a bioterror attack until the first symptoms, often flu-like, present several days after exposure.
    Deadly bacteria or viruses would typically be delivered using aerosols (sprays), by contact with an infected suicide terrorist, or on a vast scale by release from an aircraft or explosive device. Weaponised smallpox, ebola, or anthrax, are the most likely germs to be used by terrorists.
    To prevent infection with contagious bioweapons after an outbreak, avoid contact with people. Ideally wear rubber gloves, boots, waterproof clothing and hood. Protect against inhalation using a PFR or HEPA filter, or fabric such as a DIY mask or clothing to cover your mouth and nose. Cover your eyes with a safety visor or goggles. Maintain strict washing and personal hygiene. Vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and zinc, can improve natural resistance and recovery, and you are advised to start keeping fit and eating fruit now. Bioterror victims should be kept hydrated using water and electrolyte, and oral rehydration therapy is available from pharmacies. You are advised to keep a supply of drinking water and vitamin pills.
    To protect yourself, be aware of the symptoms, and be prepared to avoid human contact in the event of an outbreak.

    SMALLPOX
    Initial clinical signs are like influenza. Characterised by pustules appearing 2-3 days after exposure - first on the face, hands and feet, then all over the body. A robust pathogen, smallpox is difficult to kill, and remains viable for long periods outside the body. Infection is fatal for 1 in every 3 cases. The virus is not found in the wild and there is no natural immunity in the population. Vaccination is an effective prophylaxis. No known treatment or cure.

    ANTHRAX
    Characterised by severe breathing difficulties, which may be mistaken for pneumonia. Spread by spores which are extremely robust and can withstand extreme temperatures and pressures, remaining infectious for many years. Anthrax infection is often fatal, especially in the lungs, but not easily spread from person to person except by physical contact. Anthrax bacteria can be treated using antibiotics if caught early.

    EBOLA
    Characterised by confusion, exhaustion, bleeding from the nose, flushed, bruised or yellow skin. Ebola is highly infectious. Most victims die within days of the onset of symptoms. There is no vaccine or cure.

    RADIOACTIVE BOMB ("DIRTY NUKE")

    Any explosion, even a small one, could be a "dirty nuke" bomb. These radiological bombs use an explosive charge to fill the air with fine particles of radioactive fallout. Following any terrorist bomb, assume that the air is contaminated. Cover your nose and mouth, and avoid breathing unfiltered air. Thoroughly ash off radioactive debris from clothing, hair and body as soon as possible. Provided no particles are ingested or inhaled, there is a low risk of adverse effects.

    EQUIPMENT

    Equip yourself now, do not wait for an attack (find equipment online e.g. www.wear2work.co.uk).

    SURGICAL MASK (PFR)
    Protection against inhalation of virus and bacteria. E.g. PFR product code UN46727 from Universal Hospital Supplies (in London Tel 020 8920 6206). Seal onto face with surgical tape (available from pharmacies).

    BREATHING MASK WITH VAPOUR FILTERS
    Available from many DIY shops such as (in London see 101 Tottenham Court Road). Old or used military gas mask may be ineffective or dangerous. Practice taking getting out your mask and putting it on with your breath closed and your eyes closed. Test your mask, otherwise if you are unable to breath with the mask on you may think the mask is defective and remove it unnecessarily. Mask yourself first. You cannot help others if you are a victim. PROCEDURE: When mask is on, exhale fully. Breathe normally.

    PREPARATION

    Assess the risks of the places you visit and your journey to work. Ask yourself how you would escape from your building or train station. Where are the exits? Where would you strike for maximum disruption if you were a terrorist? Practise taking out your gas mask and putting it on, without breathing in. Decide how you would deal with other victims. Think of ways to alert other people without putting yourself at risk by shouting "poison gas" and "get out" and "don’t breathe in". Remember, the people around you may be confused and ignorant about what is happening, and they are likely to die without your help. If you do not have proper equipment then it may not be safe for you to expose yourself, even to help others.

    VIGILANCE

    Terrorist attacks are most likely to occur in the busiest areas of cities, especially major tube stations, large shopping centres, and commercial locations, as well as major business districts and industrial areas. If you see anything suspicious call the emergency services (e.g. 999 in UK or 911 in USA). In case of suspicious symptoms inform your doctor immediately.
