Middle East Report Nov. 19, 2015 WR15-389

Your Watchman on the Wall formerly worked at CENTCOM HQs in Tampa where I served on the counter-terrorism watch team.

More than 50 of my colleagues, U.S. military intelligence analysts operating out of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) have staged what has been called a ‘revolt’ by intelligence professionals. The revolt comes after announcing that their intelligence reports were being altered and manipulated to fit the public narrative that the U.S. is winning the battle against ISIS. The analysts are assigned to U.S. CENTCOM, but are officially employed by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the intelligence branch of the Pentagon.

“The cancer is within the senior level of the intelligence command,” said one defense official.

The disturbing revelations came after more than 50 intelligence analysts filed formal complaints, causing the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the matter. Two senior analysts at CENTCOM signed a written complaint sent to the Defense Department inspector general in July alleging that the reports, some of which were briefed to President Obama, portrayed the terror groups as weaker than the analysts believe they are. The reports were changed by CENTCOM higher-ups to adhere to the administration’s public line that the U.S. is winning the battle against ISIS the analysts claim.

That complaint was supported by 50 other analysts, some of whom have complained about politicizing of intelligence reports for months. That’s according to 11 individuals who are knowledgeable about the details of the report.

The sheer number of complaints indicates a massive and systemic problem that exposes an incapability of the military to accurately assess intelligence reports, perhaps at the behest of their civilian counterparts in the White House.

The complaints claim that key aspects of intelligence assessments were removed or altered as to not accurately represent the conclusions of the analyst. Aside from the censorship and alteration of reports, the complaint also alleges a “Stalinist” working environment.

Many described a climate in which analysts felt they could not give a candid assessment of the situation in Iraq and Syria. Some felt it was a product of commanders protecting their career advancement by putting the best spin on the war.

Some reports crafted by the analysts that were too negative in their assessment of the war were sent back the chain of the command or not shared up the chain, several analysts said. Still others, feeling the climate around them, self-censored so their reports affirmed already-held beliefs.

While over the past few months numerous major cities have fallen into ISIS hands, including Ramadi and Fallujah, the official line from the Obama administration has steadfastly remained that everything is going smoothly.

A number of the analysts described a situation in which they were pressured by senior commanders, and attempted to air their complaints internally, before finally going to the inspector general after their efforts to rectify the situation internally failed.

The military seemed to attempt to mitigate the situation.

“While we cannot comment on ongoing investigations, we can speak to the process and about the valued contributions of the Intelligence Community (IC),” said Air Force Col. Patrick Ryder, director of public affairs for U.S. Central Command.

Ryder added, “The IC routinely produces a wide range of subjective assessments related to the current security environment. Prior to publication, it is customary for the IC to coordinate these intelligence assessments. More specifically, members of the IC are typically provided an opportunity to comment on draft assessments. However, it is ultimately up to the primary agency or organization whether or not they incorporate any recommended changes or additions.”

The idea that America is once again cherry-picking intelligence, as it did in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, is a worrisome proposition with potentially ominous consequences.

A defense official said, “They were frustrated because they didn’t do the right thing then,” and speak up, referring to the failure of analysts to challenge the false intelligence reports about the disputed Iraqi weapons program in the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

An unprecedented number of intelligence analysts, who are paid to give their honest assessments of the ongoing war against ISIS, have come forward to expose senior military officials that are drastically altering their reports.

The jihadist panic spreading across the world is unabated since a string of terrorist slaughters were claimed by the Islamic State in less than month. After the atrocities of Paris, Sinai and Beirut, anti-terror security services are taking no chances. Thursday Nov. 19, ISIS threatened a suicide attack on New York’s Times Square, depicting a bomber unzipping his coat to display an explosive vest. New York Police rushed a large special operations team to the location as a precaution.

However, Wednesday also saw a rare breakthrough in the French search for the network behind the murder of 132 people in Paris on Nov. 13, thanks to a tip from Moroccan intelligence, a French swat team laid hands on at least six suspects after a 7-hour battle.
But, by and large, the false alarms abounding since the Paris assault are keeping security authorities rushing around, grounding passenger flights daily, blocking highways, raiding churches or evacuating shopping malls and sports arenas over the slightest suspicion of a threat, be it an unclaimed package or a video message. US-French air traffic, the London Underground, Copenhagen airport and a Belgian highway were all disrupted this week.

The minds behind the terror have calculated that even a ratio of one real attack to 500 false alarms is enough to keep Western and other societies at an unbearable pitch of hysteria, disrupt their lives, and force their jittery Western leaders and security agencies to stay off balance and rush around aimlessly.

In terrorizing the West, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and his Islamic State minions have outdone Al Qaeda in sheer malign cunning, barbarity and universal menace, generating a pitch of worldwide panic unseen even after Al Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks on America fourteen years ago. Recognizing ISIS mastery in the evil art of terror, Al Qaeda’s Ayman al-Zawahiri on Oct. 16, issued a video appealing for the two world Islamist organizations to join forces.

The security and intelligence agencies of the West and Russia are casting about desperately for inside information on the Islamic State, which is proving almost totally impermeable to penetration. The Paris and Sharm el-Sheikh episodes demonstrated once again that without intelligence, it was impossible to get to grips with a war on the jihadist group.
A rare chink in this hostile wall led to Wednesday’s raid on an apartment in Saint Denis, Paris, where several members of the network which carried out the Paris terror assault were hiding out. The French special rapid intervention BRI, which specializes in urban warfare, conducted a violent seven-hour battle with the terrorists that rocked the entire street, which is peopled mostly with migrants of North African origin. It ended with at least six arrests and three deaths. They included a woman who detonated an explosive belt, which was believed ready for the next jihadi attack, and Abdel Hamid Abaao, the man tagged as the brain behind the Nov. 13 wave of terror in Paris.

French forensic experts identified Abaao by a DNA sample. A French citizen born in Belgium, he fought with ISIS in Syria and returned home to murder his fellow citizens.

Counterterrorism sources reveal that this operation was made possible by accurate intelligence from Morocco’s DST (Direction de la Surveillance due Territoire), reaching the French security service about the time of the group’s meeting and the address of the apartment. The DST maintains an extensive network of informers and collaborators in the Muslim districts of Paris. Your Watchmen believes the U.S. govt. should pay the Moroccan govt. to enhance infiltration of ISIS and Al Qaeda.

But for the most part, the French, like almost all other anti-terror agencies, are groping in the dark and helpless to detect or avert the next wave of terror. Lacking a window into the closed Muslim communities of France, President Francois Hollande ordered reluctant French intelligence to seek cooperation with their Moroccan counterparts.

That was the key to the French success in nailing six live terrorists as quality sources that would expose fellow terrorists who are plotting the next attacks. But thousands of radical supporters of ISIS are still unidentified among the millions of Muslims living in the West. Friends, they are like cock roaches, who are everywhere.

The Islamic State’s propaganda organs are making every effort to keep the panic level high. Wednesday night, Nov. 18, social networks associated with the jihadist ran an image of a Schweppes soft drink can, along with what appeared to be a fuse and a detonator, which were depicted as the improvised bomb which on Oct. 31 blew up the Russian airliner over Sinai, killing all 224 people aboard.

There were also photos of Russian passports claimed to have been scattered around the scene of the crash, offered as evidence that the terrorists were on the scene before the Egyptian and Russian responders.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, pictured above, said Thursday that his country faces the possibility of a biological or chemical attack by radical Islamic terrorists. He made the comment in a speech to the lower house of France's parliament during deliberations on a four-month extension of the state of emergency in the aftermath of the Paris attacks. He added that "The macabre imagination of those giving the orders is unlimited."

 

Five suspects, one is pictured above, were detained Wednesday in Honduras trying to enter the United States on a stolen Syrian group passport.

A new ISIS video released Thursday warns of an impending attack on New York City. The video mentions Times Square and purports to show an explosive device being put together and a bomber zipping his jacket over a suicide belt. The New York City Police Department said it was aware of the video and was deploying additional members of its new anti-terrorism squad out of an abundance of caution.

On September 13th, the exact end-date of the Shemitah and the beginning of what I said was going to be a crisis period that would erupt in the fall, I wrote, “E​urozone Collapses, Borders Erected Across Europe on Shemitah End Day​”. I have also written that the world de-stabilization would increase because the Jewish Jubilee began on 23 September 2015 and would last for a year.

Yet, here were some of the headlines, just a day before the Paris Attacks (more on that below) on November 12th.

● “​EU council president Donald Tusk says the EU’s open border system could be about to collapse​” — The Independent (UK)

● “​The European Union Is Crumbling Right Before Our Eyes”​ — Activist Post

● “​The Latest: Fences Sprout Up Across Europe Against Refugees​” — Breitbart.com

But we stated that this trend, as well as wars across the Middle East and Northern Africa, were all part of a grander plan that intend to collapse the Eurozone, and de-stabilize European society and nations.

I wrote that these plans had been in place for decades and were part of the plans of the Project For A New American Century, which created Al-Qaeda as a bogey-man and blamed 9/11 on it… leading to G​eneral Wesley Clark being told ten days after 9/11 that the US already had plans in place to “take out” seven countries in the next five years​. Those countries being, “Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran”.

The Illuminati have not had the luck they expected as we are now 14 years later and they have only “taken out” Iraq and Libya. Syria has been their main focus for years now mainly due to the fact that Syria is one of the only countries remaining without a Rothschild backed central bank.

But while they haven’t “taken out” Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government they have succeeded in turning Syria, a once moderate and civilized country, into hell on Earth.

This, along with the destruction of Libya, resulted in a massive amount of refugees. Many of them fled to Turkey where they were held in refugee camps until this summer when, “all of a sudden”, many of them ended up in Europe.

On the evening of 13 November 2015, a series of coordinated attacks—consisting of mass shootings, suicide bombings and hostage-taking—occurred in Paris, France, and Saint-Denis, its northern suburb. As of this writing, reports are of 132 people killed and 352 injured.

Some truth came out of the political realm as Presidential candidate, ​Rick Santorum, stated that the US created ISIS and was therefore responsible for the Paris attacks​.

While it is still early, this already has many of the trappings of a financial-elite false flag. In fact, on October 29th, CIA Director John Brennan, former UK MI6 Chief John Sawers, Director of the French Directorate for External Security Bernard Bajolet, and former Israeli National Security Advisor Yaacov Amidror were on a panel titled “T​he Shared 21st Century International Mission​” (similar to the Project for a New American Century).

Earlier this year, the Charlie Hebdo attacks, also in Paris, were all but proven to be a false flag by independent researchers and alternative news sources. And in the wake of the Paris attacks we have much of the same storyline as with 9/11 including:

● The first alleged identification of the perpetrators was a Syrian passport found near one of the suspected suicide bombers. After 9/11, one of the first clues released was also that a passport of one of the hijackers was found “a few blocks from the World Trade Center”. Whatever they make these passports out of must be incredibly high tech as they seem to survive both airline explosions and bombs.

● Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari has said his country's intelligence services shared information they had which indicated that France, the United States and Iran were among countries being targeted for attack. This is in addition to numerous ISIS threats against France for their terrorist bombing of Syria. Yet, French security was supposedly completely unaware of this attack and police even waited for 2 hours before entering the Bataclan theater while people inside were being killed and posting to social media. As with 9/11, 7/11 and the Boston Marathon “bombing”, a drill was being run for the exact situation on the exact day. Patrick Pelloux a “chronicler” at Charlie Hebdo said on French radio after the attack, “​As luck would have it, in the morning at the Paris SAMU (EMT) a multi-site exercise had been planned.​” [​More foreknowledge of the attack and attackers can be seen here​.]

● The Bataclan theatre, where 89 people were killed and 200 injured, had just been sold in September after being owned by Pascal and Joel Laloux who often held “Pro-Israel” events at the theatre. This has similarities to “Lucky” Larry Silverstein who managed to purchase the World Trade Center complex for $14 million of his own money six weeks before 9/11 and insured the complex for “terrorist attacks” and was later awarded $4.55 billion. It is also similar to the Charlie Hebdo attacks which had a hostage taking in the ​Kosher Supermarket owned by Emsalem Michel who sold the supermarket ​the day before the hostage taking.

It should also be noted that we mentioned last month that the European version of Jade Helm, called ​Trident Juncture​, could be in preparation for European breakdown. Trident Juncture ended on November 6th. (also note that what is being called “Jade Helm II”, called ​UWEX 16​, is being planned for Texas - labelled as “enemy territory in Jade Helm I” - from March to June, 2016)

Just as with 9/11, where the culprits of a crime were identified by the government and media very quickly and entire countries were then attacked by the US, France has been even faster.

Less than 24 hours after the crime in Paris, the actions of supposedly eight people were identified as an “act of war” and on November 14th, the French defence ministry said​ ​10 fighter jets pummeled the ISIS-held city of Raqqa with at least 20 bombs​.

Hollande also said that he wants a “​3 month state of emergency”​ which already has Paris looking like an occupied territory.

The UN’s “​Climate Change Conference​” in Paris begins on November 30th. Interestingly, I covered how French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, said in 2014 that we were “​500 days away from climate chaos​”. Some stated that what he was referring to was the UN Climate Change conference in Paris at the end of this month. Watch the humorous video below of what Egyptian comedians think of Obama's thoughts on climate change.

Security was already high in advance of this conference and now with the Paris attacks it is looking like the world’s elite will get what they want: a city and country on total lockdown while they make plans to destroy the world’s economy and bring in a one world government.

In recent days numerous “links” were attempted to be made between terrorism and climate change. ​Bernie Sanders said that the rise of terrorism and climate change are related​. And last week, ​Hillary Clinton said that the Syrian refugee crisis was being caused by climate change​! Clearly the Syrian refugee crisis was planned and caused by the US and NATO’s destruction of the country—but what they want you to think is that all of this is happening due to “climate change”!

To get Americans more into the war spirit ​the US military, without any prior notice, launched two ICBMs over Los Angeles last week​. It was also seen in San Francisco and from as far away as Arizona as the first

missile was launched at the perfect time for tens of millions to see it.

Meanwhile, on November 8th, ​the US military said that it is sending more troops to bolster their presence in Europe​.

And, now, it seems a plethora of countries are bombing “ISIS” in Syria, ​including Israel​. The foreign-sponsored conflict in Syria, which flared in March 2011, has thus far claimed the lives of more than 250,000 people and left over one million injured, according to the United Nations. Some say France will invoke Article 5 of the NATO Mutual Defense Treaty this week. NATO’s collective defense clause compels all NATO members – including America – to fight alongside France against “ISIS”.

If it already isn’t here, World War III appears closer than it has been in decades and seems to have kicked into high gear this fall as I warned. As I have said before the Lord is gathering the nations in Syria to eventually cause their destruction by His word.  

Since the end day of the Shemitah governments worldwide have begun undergoing upheaval. The first happened the day after the end of the Shemitah, on September 14th, when out-of-the-blue, and without an election, Australia had a new Prime Minister with Malcolm Turnbull replacing Tony Abbott. What was called by some a “coup” was backed by Rupert Murdoch.

On October 4th, Portugal took a hard left-turn as a socialist-communist coalition took control and is about to enact policies that will leave Portugal in a very Greece like situation.

On October 19th, Canada also took a left turn with the election of the Liberal Party and what I believe to be a Muslim Justin Trudeau.

In a telling sign of voter disgust, on October 26th, Guatemala elected a comedian, Jimmy Morales.

In Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan barely retained control after losing its majority in a first election and only held control after a second.

And in India, Mahendra Modi’s BJP lost a regional election in Bihar, widely considered a “severe political setback” for the prime minister who himself not too long ago swept to a stunning victory on a program consisting of wide-ranging reform promises.

And, in Poland, the euro-skeptic Law and Justice Party (PiS) led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski unseated the incumbent government. The landslide victory of PiS was the biggest ever in Poland. Anti-EU sentiments run high in Poland with a recent EU flag burned as thousands joined a nationalist march in Poland.

In just a matter of months we’ve seen major political upheaval and renewed secessionist movements, particularly in Spain where Catalonia is seeking independence from Spain. 

As well, the trend of “closing borders” continues not only throughout Europe but elsewhere, including Nicaragua, which just announced it is “sealing its border”​ due to Cuban migration.
