Saddam Hussein: A Pawn In The Game

By Des Griffin

Multiple millions worldwide are amazed and bewildered by apparently unrelated and widely separated acts taking place in the worlds of politics, finance and war. They are unable to comprehend the meaning of what is taking place on the world stage.

Perhaps they should take notice of a statement made by Abraham Lincoln when commenting on a political conspiracy of his time: "When we see a lot of framed timbers, different portions of which have been gotten out at different times and places, and by different workmen ... and when we see those timbers jointed together, and see they exactly make the frame of a house or a mill ... in such a case we find it impossible not to believe that ... all understood one another from the beginning, and all worked upon a common plan, drawn up before the first blow was struck" (Abraham Lincoln, quoted in Empire of 'The City' by E.C. Knuth, p.46).

Have you, the reader of Midnight Messenger, had your eyes and ears open in recent years ... or days? Domestically and internationally, have you not witnessed "a lot of framed timbers" gradually coming together in "different times and places" that "exactly make the frame" of a global concentration camp? Euphemistically, it's known as the New World Order.

Have you realized that all these things may be occurring as the result of a "common plan drawn up before the first blow was struck"? If not, you need to!

Political reality 101 is that things don't just "happen." They are caused. As Franklin Roosevelt stated on one occasion, "In politics there are no accidents. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." In the world of politics there are no "accidents." The late Gary Allen put it succinctly, "If we were dealing with the law of averages, half the events affecting our nation's well-meaning should be good for America. If we were dealing with mere incompetence, our leaders should occasionally make a mistake in our favor. We are not dealing with incompetence or stupidity, but with planning and brilliance" (None Dare Call It Conspiracy, by Gary Allen, p.8). As nineteenth-century British prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli, wrote, "You see ... the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes" (Coningsby, p.233).

BUSH'S PRIVATE ARMY?

As we go to press with this issue of Midnight Messenger, President Bush appears on the verge of launching the full fury of America's armed forces against a basically defenseless nation whose population has been suffered terribly over the last decade from various sanctions imposed by the United Nations. As a result of these sanctions, over 500,000 Iraqi children (plus about as many men and women) have died (Anthony Arnove, Iraq Under Siege, 2000, Southend Press, p.67 ).

Against the strong advice of most in the international community, Bush's mind is fixed immovably on obliterating and taking over a sovereign nation that has never posed any threat to the United States. Many view Bush and his friends as using the American armed forces as their own private army to take control of the immensely rich Middle East; this being primarily for the benefit of a small group of occultic globalists so that they can establish what is so aptly described by Christopher Story as "The New Underworld Order" in a forthcoming book. Sadam Hussein is merely a pawn in their nefarious game of international politics.

These people have no compunctions about shackling the already grossly overburdened American people with the staggering cost of fighting their private war, and then rebuilding Iraq to their own liking and for their own benefit. That, of course, is on top of the projected $400,000,000,000 (for public consumption purposes only) federal deficit for this fiscal year. This type of fiscal insanity could double the National Debt in just a few years.

SETTING THE SCENE

The scene for Bush War II in the Persian Gulf was set twelve years ago -- at the conclusion of Bush War I. As readers will remember from previous articles, then-president George Walker Bush (through April Glaspie, his ambassador to Iraq) had virtually given Saddam Hussein permission to invade neighboring Kuwait. Saddam fell for the bait and sent his troops pouring over the Kuwaiti border. It is obvious that Bush and his advisers had a special agenda. They were determined to "create a condition" in the Middle East -- one that would advance the cause of their beloved and long-planned New World Order. In this context, it is interesting to note that Foreign Affairs, the official organ of the Council on Foreign Relations (America's invisible government) had just previously run an article by Barry Rubin, Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. It was titled, "Reshaping the Middle East."

The whole thing was carefully orchestrated. As FDR would have said, it happened because it was planned that way!

What happened next in the White House is extremely revealing. At a Cabinet meeting just after the invasion, Secretary of State James "Baker had pressed Bush to allow him to go to Baghdad to meet Saddam himself [Baker said he was determined to negotiate], but the president ... refused to authorize the mission...

"Next Bush and Scowcroft, almost together, jumped on Powell and Baker. 'Don't you realize that if he [Saddam Hussein] pulls out [of Kuwait], it will be impossible for us to stay?,' Scowcroft asked. Bush nodded in agreement as Scowcroft spoke. The massive U.S. force, based mostly in Saudi Arabia, could not remain in the region indefinitely.... A diplomatic victory could wind up a huge strategic loss... Looking squarely at his advisers, the President said plainly, 'We have to have a war.' His words hung in the air as heavily as any he had ever spoken" (Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate, by Bob Woodward, Simons and Schuster, 1999, p.185).

But of course! The immediate aim was to "reshape the Middle East." This basic reality is further substantiated by a report titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses," published in 2000 by The Project for the New American Century. Months before George W. Bush was elected president, the report stated that "the United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides [present tense] the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein... Further, the process ... is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor."

That necessary "catastrophic and catalyzing event" took place the following year, when the World Trade Center was destroyed, and the Pentagon attacked.

Six days after this "catastrophic and catalyzing event," President Bush signed a 2 1/2 page document marked "Top Secret." This "outlined a plan for going to war in Afghanistan as part of a global campaign against terrorism.

"Almost as a footnote, the document also directed the Pentagon to begin planning military options for an invasion of Iraq" (Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post, 1/12/02). "Catastrophic and catalyzing events" come in handy sometimes, don't they?

The manufactured excuse for removing Saddam Hussein and vastly expanding American influence in the Middle East now fell into place. Thus, yet again, "We have to have a war."

DESPERATE FOR WAR

Israel desperately wants this war. Saddam's removal will eliminate a threat to Israeli security. But Israel wants more -- much more! According to Christian News (February 24), Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told a visiting delegation of U.S. Congressmen a week earlier that Iran, Libya, and Syria need to be "taken care of" after Iraq is dealt with. "These are irresponsible states which must be disarmed of weapons of mass destruction, and a successful American move in Iraq as a model will make that easier to achieve.... the American action is of vital importance."

As Congressman James Moran Jr. (D-Va) stated, "If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war, we would not be doing this... [Jewish leaders] are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going and I think they should." Ari Fleischer, President Bush's Jewish Press Secretary said that expressing such truths was "shocking ... wrong ... inappropriate." Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle stated that Moran's comments were "totally out of line." Senator George Allen, a chairman of the Republican Senatorial Committee, declared that revealing these facts of life was "deplorable and offensive not just to Jewish Americans but to all Americans" (The Oregonian, March 12).

As an Haaretz (Israel) article stated so clearly, the White House and the Senate are now "in our hands" (New York Times, 27 May, 1996).

Although the United States provides him with most of the tanks, helicopters, and money with which preserve what Jewish writer Jack Bernstein called "racist Marxist Israel," Sharon, the infamous "Butcher of Beirut" and the perpetrator of many other atrocities against mankind, wants his magnanimous American benefactors to do this dirty work for him. How's that for chutzpah!?

BUT WHAT IF...?

But what happens if the new Bush war against Saddam "explodes" in his face? What if Bush's assault on a sovereign Islamic nation prompts Islamic militants to escalate exponentially their level of terror worldwide? What if Muslims comes to realize that their "world" is in danger of being demolished like Iraq (not to mention thousands of homes and shops in the occupied areas of Palestine), how will they respond? Will they calmly submit to their "fate" -- or could they explode in an unprecedented "holy war" against the "infidels" who threaten their future?

It should be noted that hundreds of thousands of the Muslim faithful live in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom -- or scattered around the globe. How would they react to the threat? Many of these, though peaceful at this time, could turn to violence in a big way! The result could be "the mother of all jihads."

"ISRAEL LIKE A MAD DOG"

What possible scenarios could then begin to unfold? Would some of the already anti-Zionist European nations aid the Islamists? Probably!

The Zionists have prepared for such an eventuality. Martin Van Creveld, an Israeli professor and military historian at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, declared in January that the non-semitic, Zionist State of Israel might avenge itself on European nations if they fail to comply with Israel's dictates. Among other things, he believes that the "collective deportation" of the native population is the only meaningful strategy towards the Palestinian people. "The Palestinians should all be deported. [The Israeli government] is waiting only for the right man and the right time."

Creveld said he thought Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wanted to deport all Palestinians. "He wants to escalate the conflict. He believes nothing else we do will succeed."

Asked if he was worried about Israel becoming a rogue state if it carried out a genocidal deportation against Palestinians, Creveld quoted former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan who said, "Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother."

Creveld, a close associate of Sharon, wasn't concerned about Israel becoming a rogue state. "We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions.... Most European capitals are targets of our air force... Our armed forces are not the thirteenth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you this will happen before Israel goes under" (IAP News, Jerusalem, February 1, 2003).

Where would America stand in such a dread scenario? Sharon answers: "I want to tell you something very clear. Don't worry about America... [W]e the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it" (AIP, 3 October, 2001).

This fact was verified by Ari Shavit, a Jew, writing in Haaretz, an Israeli daily: "We ... believe[e] with absolute certitude that now, with the White House, the Senate, and much of the American media in our hands, the lives of others do not count as much as our own" (Reprinted in The New York Times, 27 May, 1996).

U.S VETOES FAVOR ISRAEL

Would America condone such demonic insanity? Would America veto any possible United Nations sanctions against the Zionist state? What does recent history indicate? The Associated Press reports that, "For the United States, its last veto was three months ago, of a resolution condemning violence in the Middle East, specifically of U.N. employees by Israeli soldiers and the destruction of a U.N. warehouse filled with food for needy Palestinians...

"The power to veto, held by an exclusive five-member club of the Security Council, allows the world's most powerful nations to shape international peace and security... In the United Nations' 58 year history, the Soviet Union ... has used the veto 117 times... The United States is second with 73. Since 1990, the United States has cast more Security Council vetoes than any country, many of them favoring Israel, a longtime ally" (The Oregonian, 11 March, 2003, p.A3)

Please read those last two paragraphs again. They are extremely revealing. The United States will send some 250,000 military personnel quarter the way around the globe (at horrendous expense) to attack basically defenseless Iraq, but will veto "a resolution condemning violence in the Middle East, specifically of U.N. employees by Israeli soldiers and the destruction of a U.N. warehouse filled with food for needy Palestinians."

Do we need any more evidence that Israel "believes with absolute certitude that with the White House, the Senate, and much of the American media in our hands, the lives of others do not count"? (The New York Times, 27 May, 1996).

Is it a coincidence, then, that the main, distinctive feature of the Israeli flag -- a six-pointed star -- also appears on the back of the United States one dollar bill? Think about it!

PATRIOT ACT AND HOMELAND SECURITY

Following the "catastrophic and catalyzing event" of 9-11, 2001, the Bush administration immediately hauled out and pushed through Congress the already-prepared Patriot Act and the Homeland Security legislation. Our "leaders" on Capitol Hill weren't allowed to examine the bills before voting for their passage. As has been pointed out in previous issues of Midnight Messenger, these bills virtually gutted the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights that have served our nation so well for more than 200 years. America is fast on its way to becoming a Hitler-type Police State. This, of course, is all being done in the name of "patriotism" and for the "safety and security" of the American people. We are sure you find that comforting!

But wait! That's not all. Our wonderful leaders in Washington (and Tel Aviv!) are not slacking off in their herculean efforts on our behalf. As our devoted servants and protectors, they have formulated another even more sinister document in preparation for another "catastrophic and catalyzing event" that is undoubtedly in various degrees of preparation.

When that dread scenario explodes on the American scene, as it inevitably will in one form or another, our "honorable" leaders in Washington will immediately stress the "obvious need" for even sterner measures to fight "the war on terrorism." They, of course -- in their deep concern for our future well-being -- will instantly produce a new plan of action designed specifically for that purpose. As a matter of fact, the "confidential" draft of their Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 has already been "leaked" by someone on the inside who is disturbed at its draconian nature. On page 3 you can read about the "security measures" that will be implemented following the next "catastrophic and catalyzing event." The straitjackets are ready. The shackles are waiting in the wings!

Aren't our leaders (who have solemnly sworn to defend our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic) wonderful for having been so far sighted?

UNITED NATIONS TROOPS IN AMERICA?

   Another important question: What happens if our regular army and most of our National Guard are deployed and bogged down in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the Balkans, Afghanistan, Germany, Japan, and a multitude of other strategic areas around the globe? Who will guard and protect the United States?

The probable solution to that dilemma was brought ominously into focus in a statement made by Henry Kissinger at the Bilderberg meeting in Evian-les-Bains, France, in 1991 as riots were taking place in Los Angeles. "Many Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order: tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there were some outside threat ... whether real or promulgated, that threatens our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the world government."

   Thanks, Henry, for letting us peasants in on what is what is planned for our future!

Now, read the words of David Rockefeller at the same meeting of the world's elite: "We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for over forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the light of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite [the Illuminated Ones!] and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.

   Remember the words of Abraham Lincoln quoted at the beginning of this article: "When we see a lot of framed timbers, different portions of which have been gotten out at different times and places, and by different workmen ... and when we see those timbers jointed together, and see they exactly make the frame of a house or a mill ... in such a case we find it impossible not to believe that ... all understood one another from the beginning, and all worked upon a common plan, drawn up before the first blow was struck."

   In these "perilous days" of the early third millennium, we need to understand the true nature of our problems. Across the board, those problems are spiritual, not political: "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness ... against spiritual wickedness [or wicked spirits] in high places" (Ephesians 6:12). Your Bible reveals that Satan has transformed himself into an "angel of light" and has "deceived the whole world" (II Corinthians 11:14; Revelation 12:9).

   As documented in Fourth Reich of the Rich and Descent Into Slavery?, the plan to create a "New World Order" is Luciferian (or Satanic) in nature. It comes from the pit of hell. Scripture indicates that when this plot appears almost at the point of total success the nations of the world -- with "one mind" -- will "give their power and strength" to this diabolic monstrosity in hopes of bringing about lasting world peace (Revelation 17:13). When that point is reached, Satan will make his play to knock the Eternal, Creator God off his throne and take over the universe. "These shall make war with the Lamb [Jesus Christ, John 1:29,36; I Peter 1:19], and the Lamb shall overcome them FOR HE IS (present tense) Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful" (Revelation 17:14). Exit the New World Order!

   "He that testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:20).
