F-16 Fighters Down Passenger Plane Targeting US Aircraft Carrier, American President Censors Top General as Israel Prepares For Total War
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Russian Subscribers
Russian Military Analysts are reporting today that Cypriot Passenger Airliner, and apparently under some method of remote control, diverted from its landing instructions given by the Greek Athens Airport towards the United States Navy Aircraft Carrier Strike Force led by the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt whereupon it fired upon and destroyed Greek Air Force F-16’s, and as we can read as reported by the Reuters News Service in their article titled "Cypriot plane crashes in Greece, 121 dead" and which says;
"All 121 people aboard a Cypriot airliner died on Sunday after it smashed into a wooded hillside near Athens after air force pilots said the crew of the Boeing 737 appeared ´doubled up´ in the cabin. In Larnaca, Cyprus, operator Helios Airways and a Greek government official in Athens said there were no survivors among the 115 passengers and six crew. Greek and Cypriot officials said communications with the Cypriot aircraft were suddenly lost. Two air force F16 fighters scrambled to investigate and found the Cypriot plane drifting above the Euboea peninsula northeast of Athens.Iannis Pantazatos, who was in charge of the control tower at Athens International Airport, said the air force flyers ´saw the pilots doubled up in the cabin´."
The USS Theodore Roosevelt and its support ships, along with Navel Vessels of both Russia and other European countries, is currently leading a massive Navel Strike Force towards Israel should that Nation erupt into Civil War this week due to their planned disengagement from the Gaza Strip, and to which these Navel Forces have just finished their preparations for, and as we can read as reported United States Navy News Service in their article titled "Operation Brewing Storm Underway Off Atlantic Coast" and which says;
"More than 15,000 service members from four countries are participating in Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) 05-2, Operation Brewing Storm, July 14–22. Operation Brewing Storm presents U.S. and coalition forces with realistic and dynamic exercise threats that closely replicate operational challenges military forces routinely encounter around the world. It is designed to provide quality, realistic training to prepare U.S. forces for joint and combined operations. “This exercise provides the strike group with valuable experience in joint and combined operations, while giving each an opportunity to refine their key tactical skills,” said Vice Adm. Mark Fitzgerald, commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet."
Some Russian Intelligence reports are speculating that renegade Mossad Agents operating under the War Criminal Arial Sharon has ordered this attack upon this American aircraft carrier as his history shows that in 1967 he had ordered the attack against another United States Navel Vessel, the USS Liberty, and to which the former crewmembers of that destroyed US Navel Vessel had recently filed War Crime Charges against Israel for conducting, and as we can read as reported by the USS Liberty Organization in their War Crimes Report titled, “War Crimes Committed Against US Military Personal, June 8, 1967” and which says;
"This report of crimes committed against U.S. military personnel is submitted to the Honorable Secretary of the Army in his capacity as Executive Agent for the Secretary of Defense, pursuant to Department of Defense Directive Number 5910.01B (29 March 2004) On June 8, 1967 while patrolling in international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, USS Liberty (AGTR-5) was savagely attacked without warning or justification by air and naval forces of the state of Israel. Of the crew of 294 officers and men (including three civilians), the ship suffered thirty four (34) killed in action and one hundred seventy three (173) wounded in action. The ship itself, a Forty Million ($40,000,000) Dollar state of the art signals intelligence (SIGINT) platform was so badly damaged that it never sailed on an operational mission again and was sold in 1970 for $101,666.66 as scrap."
Like these events in 1967, it currently appears that the Western Media sources are keeping the true facts of these events from their peoples for fear that they will begin turning against their Military Leaders.
To the US Military Leaders turning against themselves, and as we had previously reported upon in our report titled "United States Military Forces Begin Coup, Top US General Arrested By Anti-Coup Factions, Russian and Chinese Military Forces Go To High Alert", the internal fighting between the different factions within the American Military War Machine has accelerated even further with the American President censoring one of his highest Military Commanders, and as we can read as reported by the British Telegraph News Service in their article titled "Bush slaps down top general after he calls for troops to be pulled out of Iraq" and which says;
"The top American commander in Iraq has been privately rebuked by the Bush administration for openly discussing plans to reduce troop levels there next year, The Sunday Telegraph has learned. President George W Bush personally intervened last week to play down as "speculation" all talk of troop pull-outs because he fears that even discussing options for an "exit strategy" implies weakening resolve. Gen George Casey, the US ground commander in Iraq, was given his dressing-down after he briefed that troop levels - now 138,000 - could be reduced by 30,000 in the early months of next year as Iraqi security forces take on a greater role. The unusual sign of US discord came as Iraqi politicians and clerics drafting a new constitution continued their own wrangling over autonomy demands by various factions."
To the fears of the factions within the United States Military Establishment currently attempting a coup against their Commander in Chief , they now appear justified as the American President has signaled his intention to attack Iran, and to which the Iranian Government has warned them not to try, and as we can read as reported by the South African News Service in their article titled "Iran warns Bush against attack" and which says;
"Iran warned US President George W Bush on Sunday that he would be making a mistake to use force against the Islamic republic over its nuclear programme. "Bush should know that our capabilities are much greater than those of the United States," foreign ministry spokesperson Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters. "We don´t think that the United States will make such a mistake." The US president on Friday refused to rule out the use of force against Iran over its resumption of nuclear activities, saying "all options are on the table."
These latest provocations towards more Global War by the American Empire have shocked the entire world, leading even the German Prime Minister to issue a warning to the United States Military Leaders, and as we can read as reported by the BBC News Service in their article titled “Germany attacks US on Iran threat" and which says, "German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has warned the US to back away from the possibility of military action against Iran over its nuclear programme. His comments come a day after President Bush reiterated that force remained an option but only as a last resort."
These events are also but the beginning of what promises to be one of the most important weeks in the worlds combined modern history as Israel attempts to divest itself of the Gaza Strip, and as we can read as reported by the CNN News Service in their article titled "Historic Gaza pullout hours away" and which says;
"Palestinian security forces and Israeli troops said they had deployed near Jewish settlements on Sunday, just hours ahead of Israel´s historic pullout from Gaza. For the first time since 1967, Israeli troops and about 9,000 Jewish settlers are to begin leaving Gaza and parts of the West Bank this week under the nation´s disengagement plan, spearheaded by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Many Gaza settlers are being forced to leave against their wishes, after living for decades in the Israeli occupied territory. About 20,000 Palestinian police and security forces are expected to play a role in the pullout -- 7,500 of them were deployed Sunday near Jewish settlements in southern Gaza, Palestinian security sources said.
They will focus largely on preventing attacks from militants and working to ensure that Palestinians who may move into evacuated areas are safe. Israeli troops, larger in number and with much more training, are focusing largely on preventing violence from settlers and protecting them from militants. Israeli soldiers planned to seal off the Gaza settlements at midnight (5 p.m. EDT), marking the start of the withdrawal. On Wednesday, soldiers are scheduled to begin forcibly removing remaining settlers. Israeli government officials have said they hope the withdrawal will change the political landscape of the Middle East, opening the way for resumption of peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority."
More than just a removal of peoples from this troubled area is at stake it is being reported, but the very existence of Israel itself, and as we can read as reported by the Jewish Journal News Service in their article titled "When Israel pulls out of Gush Katif, will religious Zionists pull out of Israel?" and which says;
"The disengagement plan from Gaza and the northern Shomron communities has not yet begun, and yet, Israelis witness daily TV scenes of right-wing teenagers, mothers with children and yeshiva boys donning orange hats and T-shirts and struggling with young soldiers and policemen as they show common cause with the settlers in Gush Katif — and attempt to break through to stand side-by-side with them. But there’s more at stake than the fate of the settlers. Disengagement has become a trauma for the entire religious-Zionist community. Tens of thousands of young people, identifying with the messianic ideals of the settlers, have been drafted to protest the disengagement. They’ve marched against soldiers whom they see as the messengers of an evil government.
“We will overwhelm the soldiers by our numbers,” said Eli, an otherwise gentle engineering student, who perceives as “other” his fellow Israelis, once comrades-in-arms, who have been ordered to stop the penetration of provocateurs into Gaza. “What kind of Jewish army is it that shoots at Jews,” he declared. “The religious-Zionist movement identified settlement with Zionism, forgetting that the primary definition of Zionism is creating a Jewish home in the Land of Israel,” said Ha’aretz journalist, Yair Sheleg. “It invested all its prestige in the settlements, and the connection to the Land of Israel. Destruction of the settlements is, for many religious Zionists, tantamount to the destruction of the State of Israel.” For these Zionists, the Gaza withdrawal is, in a fundamental way, closing the door on the Messiah."
As we have always seen in these circumstances the Western peoples themselves remain sleeping while the fires of Global War burn ever closer to their doorsteps. Much hope however remains that they will somehow awaken and by doing so quench the fires of their Military Leaders with waters of hope and peace that would outpour from their just saying no to more war. Sadly though the recent history of these peoples, and like their German counterparts of the last century, show no sign that they will do so. So firmly entrenched are they to the vast propaganda of their Government and Media Organs that no longer can they hear the cries of the tens of thousands who have died, and the millions of more to soon come…..even to their own families.

(08-10) 17:58 PDT Simi Valley, Calif. (AP) --
A man annoyed by a noisy car alarm fired at least three bullets into a Toyota Camry, silencing the alarm and bringing out police who hauled him away in handcuffs, authorities said.
David Owen Rye, 48, was arrested and booked for investigation of reckless discharge of a firearm and felony vandalism, Sgt. John Adamczyk said. Rye allegedly told officers he grabbed his handgun and went out to put a stop to the car alarm.
The owner of the Camry, a sailor whose ship the USS Theodore Roosevelt just returned from an eight-month cruise, was visiting a friend when he heard the gunfire at about 10 p.m. Tuesday, KCAL-TV reported.
"I mean, that´s not a safe guy. I mean, you get upset over an alarm, over a noise like that, (then) there´s some little kids making too much noise and he decides to do something awful," sailor Nicholas Moreno, 25, said.
Police were called to the Yosemite Avenue apartment building and Rye was ordered out of his apartment by an officer with a bullhorn. A Los Angeles Police Department helicopter also responded and Rye was arrested.
Neighbor Ken Davis said he heard gunshots and looked outside to see Rye holding a gun.
"It was little scary," Davis said. "I didn´t know what kind of mood he was in. I didn´t want to say anything to him." |

RUMORS OF WAR
by J. R. Nyquist
"Of course, the lunatic fringe has long held that bin Laden is an American agent and 9-11 a CIA or Mossad operation. There is a curious preemptive symmetry to certain claims, perhaps on the order of a confession; and these may deserve further analysis.
With a wink to the lunatic fringe, Russia’s Sorcha Faal routinely feeds anti-American hokum to gullible conspiracy buffs on the Internet. Faal is worth noting because Russian crackpots are special – as seen in the example of Tatyana Koryagina and 9-11.
The Russian special services know what’s going on, and they cannot resist using their knowledge. Russia’s president was a career KGB officer. Going back more than 100 years, the Russian secret police concocted some of the greatest conspiracy hoaxes of all time (including the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and items related to the Kennedy assassination).
With Sorcha Faal we stumble upon a rich tapestry of similar offerings. According to Faal, Russia is preparing for war against the United States. Russia’s allies include China, Iran and the usual suspects.
Furthermore, Faal suggests that America will be driven to “aggression” by a “triggering event” (presumably terrorist). Already, she says, elements in the U.S. military are seeking to avoid war through an uprising against President Bush.
(Please note: rumors of an alleged U.S. military uprising are part and parcel of Moscow’s pre-war gray terror scenario as described by a GRU defector Viktor Suvorov in a book titled Spetsnaz.) Faal suggests that World War III will begin with U.S. strikes into Iran, unless the American military overthrows Bush.
She also says that plans have been laid for martial law in the United States (similar to the claims of other conspiracy theorists)."

First of all the USS Theodore Roosevelt is based out of Norfolk and wouldn´t dock in California.
Secondly, what ´eight-month cruise´? Someone better tell the Navy because that´s not what they´re reporting:
Operation Brewing Storm Underway Off Atlantic Coast

By mid-January 2005 USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) and Carrier Air Wing Eight (CVW-8) are underway again, and the flight deck was back in business. TR conducted carrier flight deck certifications, which took a tremendous amount of manpower to make this evolution happen. Certifications become a necessity for aircraft carriers coming out of dry-docking planned incremental availability (DPIA). Every job performed by personnel from the hangar bay and flight deck to those in Supply and Medical is observed and evaluated.
By April 2005 the nuclear powered aircraft carrier, and Carrier Air Wing Eight (CAG-8) were underway for Tailored Ship Training Availability and Final Evaluation Problem (TSTA/FEP) in the Atlantic Ocean.
A ceremony held aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) (TR) 04 May 2005 recognized the ongoing friendship between Spain and the United States with the joining of a Spanish ship to the TR Carrier Strike Group. Alvaro de Bazan (F 101), a medium-size Spanish frigate, officially became a part of Carrier Strike Group 2.
By 19 May 2005 USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) was underway off the coast of Virginia, conducting carrier qualifications in the Atlantic Ocean.

Tasked with maintaining open sea lanes of trade and communications, TR is capable of projecting air superiority to all points of the globe.

Anytime and anywhere TR reports for duty, she brings 4.5 acres of sovreign U.S. territory and 97,000 tons of diplomacy.
TR´s equipment and crew are always maintained at the highest state of readiness. This enables the ship to carry out a wide variety of missions, including: air warfare, strike warfare, surface warfare, undersea warfare and electronic warfare. TR also shares the task of replenishing ships at sea and performing a variety of non-combat missions, such as the rescue at sea of people in distress and the transport of refugees and others in need of help.

The story you referred to is some good ole fashioned US Navy disinfo to ´distract´ from where are ships really are....we are at war you know.
The US Navy also lists their status:
Ships Underway (away from homeport):
124 (43% of total)
On deployment:
107 ships (37% of total)
Submarines underway (away from homeport):
18 submarines (35% of submarine force)
On deployment:
22 submarines (43% of submarine force)

But of course we know that they aren´t reporting the ´real´ facts, in fact they´d be stupid to do that in war time.
Besides, look at the obvious: the USS Roosevelt just finished up Operation Brewing Storm ( I love that name!) on July 24th and there´s no way it could have made it from the Atlantic to the Pacific in this short amount of time. Remember, our aircraft carriers DO NOT use the Panama Canal.
And again, this aircraft carrier is part of the Atlantic Fleet, not the Pacific Fleet. |

Suicide hit no doubt, remember the World Trade Center? DUH!
Besides, the US Navy has a strong reluctance to shooting down passenger planes.
"On patrol in the Persian Gulf, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian passenger jet that it had mistaken for a hostile Iranian fighter aircraft. U.S. Navy Captain Will C. Rogers III ordered a single missile fired from his warship, which hit its target and killed all 290 people aboard the commercial airbus. The attack came towards the end of the Iran-Iraq War, while U.S. vessels in the Persian Gulf had been patrolling to ward off Iranian attacks on Kuwaiti oil tankers. The international community was outraged by the American attack on a large civilian aircraft, but the Pentagon and White House defended the action."

Operation Brewing Storm Underway Off Atlantic Coast
Story Number: NNS050720-01
Release Date: 7/20/2005 10:35:00 AM
From U.S. 2nd Fleet Public Affairs
NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- More than 15,000 service members from four countries are participating in Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) 05-2, Operation Brewing Storm, July 14–22.
Operation Brewing Storm presents U.S. and coalition forces with realistic and dynamic exercise threats that closely replicate operational challenges military forces routinely encounter around the world.
