CIA Behind Moscow Terrorists

uploaded | 03.11.2002 07:44

Introduction: A senior writer in the PA's official daily claims that the attack in Moscow by Islamic terrorists was a CIA plot. According to the writer, the US hopes that having the Russians suffer a Muslim terror attack will convince them to vote with the US in the UN in support of attacking Iraq. France, who also has been opposing the US on the coming UN vote, may be next in line to suffer a Muslim terrorist attack initiated by the US, according to the Palestinian Authority daily.



The following is from the text of the article: "[Russian] President Putin's ambassador to the Security Council is threatening to vote against the American's proposed resolution to attack Iraq. This is how we view the operation in the Moscow theater; we are of the opinion that the sympathy and friendship that bond Washington to several Islamic movements in Europe, among them the Chechens, cannot possibly be one-sided and there has to be some sort of repayment of the American friendship by the "Mujahedin" [quotes in source] of Chechnya, Bosnia, Hercegovina and Kosovo. The CIA will never acknowledge its responsibility for this operation which claimed over 170 lives, including those of the perpetrators.... However, the American message reached Moscow and was, perhaps, read the same way by the decision makers in France, who oppose the American pressure in the Security Council and insistently resist giving the Americans an international power of attorney to destroy the most ancient of Arab countries.

"We do not know whether there are members of pro-American organizations in Paris, but we believe that American Intelligence has no need for operatives in France, and we therefore fear a recurrence of a bloody scene in the capitol of [our] friends, the French. We hope they are preparing for such an eventuality, lest it be Moscow first and Paris next."

They call it Moscow's 9-11 even although it was Russian troops who killed all the people, the Bali bomb was for Australia's benefit, only the Germans and British, whose support for war is flagging, will need their own 9-11 to shock and traumatise them into the illusion we are under attack by Islamists, not the CIA.

if you want people to consider your ideas, do a better job offering documentation. Just tossing out a text segment and only noting the title of the original article offers little help. Put the darn URL to the web page or cite the entire publication name, issue/volume/date/whatever, and be specific.

There are millions of documents on the web. There are thousands of messages on uk.indymedia.org. Why should I spend time on your article if you don't show the context from which it came? Think about it....... if you're going to post, take the extra 10 seconds to do it more professionally.

Why would US imperialism want to gain the support of Russia and France, or any other world imperialist power through the UN for that matter, in a completion of
a 12 year long conflict in order to secure dominance in the Middle East as well as copious amounts of oil?

Clearly US imperialism has the military power to complete such an invasion, and in all probability with few losses on the part of their own forces, and even the global recession which has badly affected the US economy doesn't provide Bush and the American bourgeoisie with a neccessity to get coalition partners to pay for costs incurred. Might it be the case that the US imperialists with allies in only Britain and Israel at present have become particularly forward thinking and wish to prevent an increase in imperialist rivalry in future by encouraging their rivals in Europe and elsewhere to sign up for a portion of the spoils? British troops alone could be relied on to militarily aid any occupation governorship in Iraq alongside the US upon the success of the apparently inevitable invasion, as they have in the Kosovo and Afghanistan. But does the US not feel mighty enough to step into an abyss of increasing trade wars? Unlikely.

The US imperialist have much more to gain from NOT involving any other, rival imperialist power in decimating and plundering Iraq, and opposition from European powers and Russia isn't enough in itself to stop the venture from securing further US capitalism's advantage over it's rivals. Russia and Europe minus Britain are extremely unlikely from joining forces and going to war against the US in order to take a share of Iraqi oil! Inevitably, all US imperialist ambitions in the Middle East are merely a stepping stone to the prize most desired by the world's dominant imperialism: China. The Chinese market potential of 1 billion plus people would strengthen the domination of North American capital beyond the wildest dreams of the capitalists of this world. After all, what do Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, the Philippines and Iraq have in common? They were all either targetted in Bush's 'Axis of Evil' speech, on the list of countries considered as first strike nuclear targets, crucial to any military blockade of China, the reinforcement of any such blockade, currently have large numbers of US troops stationed within or nearby or they are on the Chinese border itself (in most cases a mixture of all of these things).

The Russian Federation, since counter-revolution in the Soviet Union, is no longer a likely military threat to US imperialism, a check and balance to US imperialism's worldwide dominance, so why would the CIA be tasked with masterminding Islamic fundamentalist terrorist attacks on Russia (or France)? It is far more likely that, as looks clear with the bombings of blocks of flats in Moscow as the excuse of Russia to invade Chechnya in 1999, that the Russian 'secret' services (the FSB, which Putin commanded prior to becoming President) were behind the hostage crisis. Even if they didn't stage it, they were certainly responsible for the deaths.
