The fraud deepened when it was established that the group who 
actually put the dossier together were not affiliated with MI6 
but were a selection of junior aides from the office of Alastair 
Campbell, Tony Blair's propagandist and spin master.  

Immediately after this story began to circulate and build in intensity, 
the U.S. upped the terror alert level to orange and Tony Blair stationed 
troops and tanks at Heathrow airport. The government again terrorized 
the people into becoming distracted by fear and the story of the 
fraudulent Iraq dossier never resurfaced again. Compare this to the 
case of "Cheriegate" where Blair's wife was revealed to have some 
second hand links to a conman. This was nothing compared to the dossier 
story and yet it dragged on for weeks and months.  

There were also numerous attempts to link Osama bin Laden to 
Saddam Hussein. There is a link between the two and that link is 
that both of these monsters were initially funded, armed and 
empowered by the CIA. Apart from that, the two are arch enemies. 
Hussein is a womanizing hedonist Socialist while bin Laden is a 
devout fundamentalist. Why would Hussein want to give weapons 
of mass destruction to terrorist groups that would use them 
against him? The New York Times reported,  

"Like other Middle Eastern rulers, Saddam Hussein has long recognized 
that Al Qaeda and like-minded Islamists represent a threat to his 
regime. Consequently, he has shown no interest in working with them 
against their common enemy, the United States. This was the 
understanding of American intelligence in the 1990's. In 1998, the 
National Security Council assigned staff to determine whether that 
conclusion was justified. After reviewing all the available intelligence 
that could have pointed to a connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq, 
the group found no evidence of a noteworthy relationship."

And yet we were subjected again and again to people like Tony Blair, 
George Bush and Jack Straw telling us there were clear links between 
Al-Qaeda and Hussein but not surprisingly they "couldn't tell us the 
nature of those links" because of national security concerns. Polls 
were then released showing that over 50% of Americans thought Saddam 
Hussein and Osama bin Laden were the same person. People have 
been brainwashed by the media and Hollywood to only think in black 
and white, to think that there are just good guys and bad guys. 
Rohan Gunaratna is an expert on international terrorism at St. 
Andrews University. He stated,

"I have examined many thousands of documents from Afghanistan I 
could not find any links whatsoever with Osama bin Laden or al-Qaeda. 
If there are links, they should prove it. They have an enormous 
intelligence budget, they have interviewed more than 1,000 al-Qaeda 
suspects, they have examined thousands of documents, and they have 
found nothing."

Amid empty accusations of a link between Hussein and bin Laden, 
angry British intelligence officials leaked a top-secret report 
saying that there were no links. There was, according to the BBC, 
growing disquiet at the way their work was being politicised to 
support the case for war on Iraq.  

Powell's dossier of "evidence", the student essay
"intelligence report", 
the phantom links, the whole facade was an endless stream of bullshit 
intended to convince people who never look behind the curtain that war 
was justified. The contention that the biggest military power in the 
world bombarding a small country to ashes for the second time in twelve 
years and killing thousands more innocent people is "justified" beggars 
belief. North Korea has nuclear bombs that can hit America and has 
publicly threatened to use them. North Korea has a dictator ten 
times worse than Hussein who has starved a million of his people. 
North Korea has a network of concentration camps that hold 200,000 
people in horrific conditions. Where is the invasion of North Korea? 
There isn't one. There isn't one because the war on Iraq has nothing 
to do with weapons of mass destruction. It is about advancing the 
New World Order agenda via the muscle of the United States.  

So when the talking heads announce that 'we'are going to war just 
remember that it is not 'we' who will be slaughtering children. It 
is not 'we' who will be using depleted uranium ensuring another 
generation of deformed babies. It is not even 'we' who will profit 
from the takeover of the oil supply. It is the global elite, notching 
up another sovereign country on the road to constructing their dark 
empire of world government.
