General Mirza Aslam Beg, Former Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Army: Wikileaks Is "A Tool of Psy Warfare"

Gen. Mirza Aslam Beg is no stranger to power and the responsibility it carries - he formerly headed Pakistan's nuclear-equipped armed forces. He is obviously "in the loop" when it comes to intelligence matters affecting Central and South Asia. So when he charged, in Dec. 2001, that it was increasingly obvious that "rogue elements of the U.S. military and intelligence" had perpetrated the 9/11 attacks, and that Bin Laden was innocent, it should have made front-page headlines worldwide.

Now Gen. Beg is charging that Wikileaks, like 9/11, is a Zio-American intelligence operation - a weapon of mass deception.

Wikileaks: A Tool of Psy Warfare

By Gen. Mirza Aslam Beg, Opinion-Maker.org

The Wikileaks revelations confirm the obvious, more than what it informs us about the darker corners of ‘US diplomacy, cloaked in securitocracy.’ In fact, it is Cyber War, in the new game of psy-warfare, targeting individuals and countries, to cover-up the shame of defeat of war on Afghanistan, war on Iraq and 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon. The cyber war has been launched, impacting public opinion globally, and focusing on three objectives mainly:

One: To cause defamation of the countries which have had a role, direct or indirect, in the defeat of the Americans and their allies, in Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan, and create mistrust amongst them, so that they are not able to challenge future American plans in the region.

Two: To create conditions for a civil war in Afghanistan and out of the chaos and confusion, reduce Pakistan and Iran to subservience, something they have not been able to achieve during the last thirty years.

Three: To establish Indian hegemony over South Asia, including Afghanistan, and project American strategic interests in the region.

Arab-Muslim Public Opinion: 9/11 perps US and Israel - NOT 9/11-truth-seeking Iran - are the real threats

Chomsky: WikiLeaks Cables Reveal "Profound Hatred for Democracy on the Part of Our Political Leadership" (Source: Democracy Now!)

"Commenting on the revelations that several Arab leaders are urging the United States to attack Iran, Chomsky says, 'latest polls show] Arab opinion holds that the major threat in the region is Israel, that’s 80 percent; the second threat is the United States, that’s 77 percent. Iran is listed as a threat by 10 percent,' Chomsky says. 'This may not be reported in the newspapers, but it’s certainly familiar to the Israeli and U.S. governments and the ambassadors. What this reveals is the profound hatred for democracy on the part of our political leadership.'"

Iran urges trial of those behind 9/11

Nov. 18th, 2010 - Press TV

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has renewed his call to establish an independent fact-finding committee on the 9/11 incident, urging trial of those who engineered the event.

"Plotters of the September 11 incident should be brought to trial. While regional nations knew nothing about the event, yet countries were occupied [because of it]," IRNA quoted President Ahmadinejad as saying in a press conference in the Azeri capital of Baku on Thursday.

"A fact-finding committee which is trusted by nations should investigate the 9/11 event," he added.

The president emphasized that if US statesmen truly possess firm documents about what happened during the incident, as they claim, they should not fear the establishment of a fact-finding committee and can produce their evidence to the body for a probe.

The Iranian chief executive went on to add, "If it is proved that such crimes were carried out by those who have presence in our region, regional countries and nations will duly punish them by themselves."

In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September, the Iranian president called for the formation of an independent probe committee to investigate the 2001 event in New York and Washington.

President Ahmadinejad's call for a probe triggered a row in the White House with US President Barak Obama criticizing the Iranian president's remarks as "hateful."

The Iranian president later defended his proposal, saying it did not mean Tehran was insensitive to the pain of the families of the victims but rather showed a commitment to finding the truth behind an incident that triggered wars in Iran's neighboring countries.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad expressed Iran's constant readiness to hold fair talks with P5+1 group -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the US plus Germany.

"We have always advocated negotiations but talks should be based on justice and respect. However, certain Western countries pursue arrogant behavior and think they can win concession if they exert pressure on Iran," he said.

"We believe that talks should be held for friendship and justice and that everyone who intends to impose their demands is mistaken. Iran will not be affected," he added.

The Iranian chief executive pointed out that negotiations are currently underway to set the venue of talks between Iran and P5+1.

On October 14, EU Foreign Affairs Chief Catherine Ashton proposed three-day talks to be held in mid-November in the Austrian capital of Vienna, expressing hope that Tehran would "respond positively" to the offer.

Iran's proposed date and venue for talks with the P5+1 were announced on November 9 in a letter sent by Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili to his counterpart Catherine Ashton.

Ashton accepted Iran's proposed date for talks, but suggested Vienna or Switzerland as the venue for the first meeting.

Gen. Hamid Gul, former ISI chief, joins 9/11 truth radio show!

On Tuesday, November 2nd, 9-10 a.m. Pacific (noon-1 pm Eastern) Gen. Hamid Gul will join Muslims for 9/11 Truth coordinator Kevin Barrett and Mavi Marmara hero Ken O'Keefe on NoLiesRadio.org, to be archived here a few hours after broadcast. Full radio announcement here.

Ex-ISI chief General Hamid Gul has long been a brave voice of 9/11 truth, expressing the view of 97% of Pakistanis that al-Qaeda did not do 9/11 as far back as September 26th, 2001, when he pointed out that "Mossad and its American associates are the obvious culprits" - a simple truth that even much of the 9/11 truth movement still doesn't want to hear almost ten years later.

Gen. Gul is that rare combination: a master strategist with great integrity. Below is his media bio.

Military Career

General Hamid Gul was commissioned as 2^nd Lieutenant in a distinguished tank regiment, 19^th Lancers, on 18^th of October 1958. In a brilliant career spread over 36 years, he topped almost every course he attended, and commanded some of the best units and formations of The Pakistan Army including the crack 1^st Armored Division and 2 Corps, the premier strike formation of Pakistan. He earned the reputation of a brilliant and dashing commander, loved and admired by his troops and respected by his seniors. He headed the Military Intelligence (MI) and also became founder father of the Corps of Military Intelligence. He attended staff college Camberly (UK) in 1970 and left his mark there as one of the finest graduates of the institution. As a young officer he attended the US Pacific Army’s Intelligence School, Okinawa (Japan) and still holds an unbeaten record with over 99% aggregate marks. His military career took him to the rank of General. At the height of his military career he was deemed to be the hottest favourite for the slot of The Chief of the Army Staff but due to political pressures from abroad he was not selected and assigned the Director Generalship of a military industrial complex which he refused to accept and resigned from the Army.

ISI and Afghan Jihad

The highest attainment of his long and distinguished career was his Command of The Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) during the fateful period of Afghan Jihad against the Soviet occupation of that country. He is widely regarded as the architect of the Afghan resistance that eventually steered the Afghan Mujahideen to historic victory, forcing the Soviets to pull out on the 15^th of Feb 1989. He was immensely popular with all the Mujahideen factions of that time who held him in very high esteem and treated him as a fatherly figure. He used his sway and clout over the Mujahideen to forge peace in Afghanistan on at least three occasions when Mujahideen factions had started fighting among themselves after liberation. It was creditable that he did so after retirement, entirely in his individual capacity. The unruly Mujahideen commanders obeyed and respected him like no one else. Later on with the advent of Taliban’s rise he was equally admired and respected by the Taliban leadership because of his principled stand in support of the Afghan resistance against US aggression so much so that he was invited as the chief guest at the Afghan National Day parade in Kabul on 19^th August 2001.

He is generally regarded as the benefactor and friend of the Afghan nation as a whole and commands influence both on the Taliban side and among the top government functionaries and the political leaders of the Kabul Regime. It is generally believed that he may be the one person who could play an important conciliatory role for the unity of the Afghan nation at an appropriate time.

Public Profile

Inside the country, General Hamid Gul is known for honour, truthfulness, integrity and a bold stance on national issues. He enjoys great respect among ulema, intellectuals, technocrats and retired and serving servicemen of all orientations. But perhaps he cuts the best image among the youth of Pakistan. He is one of the most coveted and sought-after figures by domestic and international media. He is deluged almost daily by the world media for his opinion and analysis which he blends with a strategic foresight hardly manifest in any other media personality. His forecasts about all situations arising after 9/11 have proved to be prophetically true. His understanding of the Jihadi movements is remarkably accurate and his courage to standby the noble causes of freedom and human rights endears him not only to the Pakistani nation but a wide swathe of public opinion in the Muslim world.

Lawyers Movement

Lately he was one of the leading lights during the lawyer’s movement which electrified the civil society of Pakistan among them the ex-servicemen of the Pakistan armed forces who rallied behind him and carried the movement to its logical conclusion resulting in restoration of the deposed judges of the supreme and high courts. His lectures to a large number of the Pakistan Bar Councils were highly motivational and his personal example in leading the public rallies was greatly appreciated across the nation.

Adversary Sentiments

While his legendary reputation and hero image inspires a broad cross section of Pakistani society particularly the youth he also invokes adversary sentiments among some left wing liberals and draws the ire of imperialist powers that fear the resurgence of Islam. Yet, his opinion carries immense weight among the policy makers, friends and foes alike.

Recognition and Awards

In recognition of his services he was once described by a Russian diplomat as Commander in Chief of the Afghan Mujahideen. For his monumental achievements in forcing the Soviet Union out of Afghanistan and eventually liberating Western Europe from the red menace he was presented by the German Intelligence BND a piece of the Berlin Wall mounted on a plaque inscribed: “With deepest respects to General Hamid Gul who helped delivered the first blow”. He is recipient of several gallantry and meritorious service awards of Pakistan as well as medals by various public organizations.

Soldier Scholar

Gen Gul is not only a brilliant solider and strategist but also wields his pen with enormously effective expression on major issues both domestic and international. He is one of the chief opinion makers of the country, especially among right-wing intellectuals. He has written hundreds of columns mostly for the Urdu press of Pakistan but also for an English readership at home and abroad. He has been extensively reported and quoted by such prestigious publications as Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and almost all other major magazines and dailies of the world in all languages. He regularly appears on TV channels and radio programmes. His opinions carry immense influence.

Ahmadinejad Applauded at UN for Telling 9/11 Truth; Fox Apoplectic!

President Ahmadinejad's UN speech: video transcript

It looks like President Ahmadinejad kept last Monday's promise to Muslims for 9/11 Truth's Enver Masud, read Enver's book 9/11 Unveiled, and decided to make his strongest 9/11 truth statement yet during his UN speech. (Read the genuinely fair and balanced report by al-Jazeera-English.)

The US corporate media is not reporting this story--they're just exuding yowls of fabricated outrage. They are shocked -- shocked! -- that a world leader could say anything so obvious as that 9/11 was an inside job.

While MSNBC's report on Ahmadinejad's courageous speech is somewhat amusing, the most hilarious yowl of outrage came from -- where else -- Fox News. It is so precious that we are posting every single word of it below. Feel free to visit Fox's website to post a comment!

Applause for Ahmadinejad

Fox News: September 23, 2010 - 5:39 PM | by: Eric Shawn

He was greeted by applause when he walked into the United Nations General Assembly, and applauded again, even after questioning 9/11 and claiming that the American government may have been behind the attack.

That’s right, applauded after questioning the motivation for the terrorist attacks, who was responsible for them, and essentially suggesting they were a U.S. plot.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made a variety of claims over the years during his appearances here, but he never has gone this far when talking about 9/11.

During his General Assembly address, the Iranian President called for a “U.N. fact finding group” to investigate 9/11.

He also said that ”the majority of the American people as well as most nations and politicians around the world” believe that “some segments within the U.S. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining of the American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order to save the Zionist regime.”

Before his speech, the Obama administration must have had high hopes that Ahmadinejad would have listened to the offers of diplomacy as presented by the administration and its allies on the Security Council. Members of the U.S. delegation remained in their seats. In years past, only what is called a “low-level note taker” has often been posted behind the little plastic “United States” sign, when Ahmadinejad took the stage.

On Tuesday, when Ahmadinejad spoke during the global summit on poverty, the American delegation remained even as he predicted the defeat of capitalism.

But true to form, he quickly went over the line with his 9/11 remarks and that prompted the U.S. diplomats, and others, to get up and walk out.

“ It’s outrageous,” said State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. “a short distance from here, nine years ago, three-thousand people were killed in an attack perpetrated by nineteen people, and an attack that was orchestrated by Al Qaeda. We know exactly who did it, they’ve admitted it, the facts are not in dispute, so for the President of Iran to come here and make the suggestion that somehow this was an American plot, is simply outrageous.”

But as Ahmadinejad walked from the podium, he did so rewarded by applause in the august chamber of the world body.

In the Footsteps of the Prophet

Speaking Up for 9/11 Truth is "Deep Sunnah"

By Kevin Barrett, www.truthjihad.com

Muslims everywhere try to imitate the Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him, just as serious Christians practice imitatio christi, "imitation of Christ." Following the sunnah (prophetic tradition) is central to the religion of Islam.

Muslims follow the Prophet's example in prayer, and also in daily life. Some carry it too far. The Taliban, for example, made it mandatory for all men to wear beards of prophetic length. Personally, I think that's a wee bit excessive.

Emulation of the Prophet is generally a good thing. But blind imitation of every superficial aspect of his life, without consideration of the deeper meaning, risks missing the point. You want to eat the way the prophet ate? Fine. You'll feel a connection with an age-old spiritual tradition, and also save money on silverware. Want to travel the way he traveled? A bit impractical, unless you live somewhere where walking beside camels is feasible. Want to marry as many women as he married? Allah has specifically told you not to.

There are, of course, many time-tested traditions about what we should emulate. Alongside those traditions, there is the all-important issue: How can we follow the prophetic example at the inner, spiritual level?

If the best guide to the surface details of the prophetic life is the Hadith, the collections of reports passed down from eyewitnesses, the ultimate guide to following in the spiritual footsteps of the Prophet, peace upon him, is the Qur'an. To understand why, we will need to take a brief detour through literary theory.

Literary theorist M.M. Bakhtin has explained that the deep meaning of any text or utterance depends on who is speaking to whom, in what context. The exact same words can mean entirely different things if they are spoken in anger or in jest, by a lover or a killer, in a playful tone of voice to a friend or harshly to a stranger. In many great works of literature, the issue of who is speaking to whom in what context often becomes extremely rich and nuanced. Baktin called this feature of texts dialogism, and praised such richly nuanced texts as dialogic.

The Qur'an, widely regarded as a literary masterpiece even by non-Muslim readers, is an extremely dialogic text. That may strike some non-Muslims as odd, since the Qur'an is the direct word of the one omnicient God who can simply say "be" and it is. But the next time you read the Qur'an, ask yourself two questions: Who is Allah speaking to? And who or what is this "Allah" anyway?

Let's look at the second question first. In the Qur'an, Allah has 99 names (al-asma' al-husna) and speaks of him/her/itself in both the first and third persons. That's right: Allah alternatively refers to Allah as the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate, the All-Majestic, the All-Knowing, and so on, using as pronouns both "we" and "he/it." This shifting of pronouns and perspectives emphasizes that Allah is not any particular entity, but rather the limitless source of all entities.

And who is Allah's ever-shifting "we," and "he/it" addressing? The Qur'an's first addressee, of course, is the Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him. Allah speaks directly to Muhammad, telling him what to recite.

Say: Have ye imagined, if Allah should take away your hearing and your sight and seal your hearts, who is the God who could restore it to you save Allah? See how We display the revelations unto them? Yet still they turn away. -- Qur'an, 6:46 (Pickthall translation)

On the one hand, Allah is telling the Prophet (pbuh) what to recite to the Muslim community. At the same time, Allah is personally speaking to the Prophet, consoling and encouraging him to persevere despite the frustration he is experiencing from those who reject and deride his divinely-inspired message. Yet that personal message to the Prophet Muhammad, is at the same time a message to the entire Muslim community, consoling all Muslims in the face of the opposition they will face as they, in turn, spread the divine message.

This example illustrates an extremely important feature of the Qur'an: Whenever Allah says "qul!" (say!) s/He is telling the both the Prophet and the Prophet's audience, i.e. the entire Muslim community, to speak, to say something--in this case to ask who could restore our hearing and sight, and unseal our hearts, other than the one God, and to repeat "See how We display the revelations unto them? Yet still they turn away."

As the individual Muslim reads, recites, or listens to the Qur'an, he or she hears God speaking to Muhammad, to the community of believers, and to (or within) him- or herself all at the same time! This feature of the Qur'an is one of the secrets of its simultaneous intimacy and universality. The Qur'an is an intimate dialogue between God and the individual Muslim, an intimate dialogue between God and Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), and at the same time a universal utterance from the one Source of all creation to that entire creation.

This amazing feature of the Qur'an suggests that we emulate Muhammad not just by following his table manners, or clipping our beards to the length of his, but also (and perhaps more importantly) by taking the Qur'anic dialogue to heart the way he did, to persevere in spreading the truth the way he did.

If you really listen to the Qur'an, you'll hear its oft-repeated consolations for the heartbreaking fact that so many refuse to hear the truth: they are "deaf, dumb, and blind," there is "rust on their hearts," they mock and turn away from the truth and call it lies. As it hails the Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him, the Qur'an also hails you, consoling you for the heartbreak you face as you suffer for the slights you receive as you persevere in telling an all-important truth.

But are you actually out there spreading the truth and suffering the consequences, as the early Muslims were?

In a sense you are, if you are a minimally practicing Muslim; for in that case, you are bearing witness that there is no god but God many times a day, and bearing witness to the truth of the message through your actions. But unless you are performing dawa--propagating the message of Islam where it is not always welcome--you may not be able to personally relate to Allah's consolations for those who publicly proclaim the truth and are scorned for their efforts. And the whole of the Qur'an is steeped in those consolations.

So if you really want to emulate the Last Prophet (all the prophets, in fact) get out there and publicly proclaim the truth among people who mostly don't want to hear it.

The now well-established fact that the crimes of 9/11 were committed not by Muslims, but by the enemies of Islam, is the most important historical truth of our time. Proclaiming it, especially among non-Muslims, is the most powerful form of dawa available to us today.

By doing so, you will be following deep sunnah; accomplishing hassanaat (good actions that will be rewarded); and opening up for yourself the possibility of a deeper and more intimate relationship with al-Qur'an al-Karîm, the final message of God to humankind.
