Sniegoski's Transparent Cabal, ReviewedMy comments on this news:Dr. Karen Kwiathowski writes favorably of Stephen Sniegoski's book, “The Transparent Cabal,” in the Independent Review.” See Volume 14, Number 3, Winter 2010 http://www.independent.org/pdf/tir/tir_14_03_rev1_kwiatkowski.pdf .
I followed Sniegoski's writings in the period leading up to the attack on Iraq, from 2001 to March 2003. He wrote about the falsification of evidence and media collaboration which, together, influenced the US public to support the attack. Reading his essays published in www.thornwalker.com , one had no doubt that we were being lied into war, again. Nevertheless, most of the public was hood-winked, and it appeared for a time that family relationship would fracture irretrievably over whether one should, or should not, support this aggressive/preemptive war.
I cavil at one sentence that Kwiatkowski writes: " The bulk of the antiwar effort today is led and informed by Jews,...." Please... Let us not, at this juncture, prostitute ourselves with half-truths.
In fact, the greatest resistance to attacking Afghanistan and Iraq came from The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan, Raimondo writing at www.antiwar.com , publications of The American Free Press, from Sniegoski himself, and a few others. The strongest effort today to extricate ourselves from financially and morally ruinous Middle Eastern interventions comes from Congressmen Ron Paul and his TeaParty supporters. Jeff Gates [see his book "Guilt by Association" and website www.criminalstate.com ] exposes latent Jewish support for Zionism and further aggressive wars [eg. on Iran]. Resistance to war comes from former military officers such as Alan Sabrosky and William S. Lind, as well as from the great American public who, in 2008, voted Third Party or for an unknown rather than for neocon Senator John McCain. As Sniegoski himself explains, "Kwiatkowski is well-known for writing about her personal experiences regarding the neocon-controlled Office of Special Plans [of which dual US-Israeli citizen Douglas Feith was Director- v.], the Department of Defense office which provided the most extreme war propaganda to drive the United States into the war on Iraq She is a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, with a background in intelligence, whose assignments included duties in the Pentagon and the National Security Agency. While at NSA, she became a speechwriter for the agency's director. After leaving the NSA in 1998, she became an analyst on sub-Saharan Africa policy for the Pentagon.. "From May 2002 to February 2003, the time of the propaganda build-up for the attack on Iraq, Dr. Kwiatkowski served in the Pentagon\\\'s Near East and South Asia directorate (NESA), where she gained first-hand knowledge of the activities of the Office of Special Plans. I made use of her first-hand information in my section on the Office of Special Plans in “The Transparent Cabal.” "Dr. Kwiatkowski has a PhD in World Politics from The Catholic University of America; her thesis was on overt and covert war in Angola. She has also two published books about U.S. policy towards Africa. She is a very courageous woman who dares to tell the truth and has been smeared for it by the neoconservatives and their fellow travelers. " She is currently host of a radio program, “American Forum,” archived at: http://www.americanfreedomradio.com/American_Forum_09.html .
