384 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biographyon Washington DC is tightening. Obama’s choice of a vice president, it was announced, would be
dictated by long-time Trilateral stalwart Jim Johnson, a former aide to Trilateral operative Vice
President Walter Mondale.
The last time the Principals’ Committee or its equivalent was this powerful was back in 1999,
when President Clinton had been forced to mortgage and sacrifice most of his constitutional powers
in exchange for votes in the Senate to avoid being removed from office. At that time, the
Principals’ Committee had been composed of Vice President Gore, Secretary of State Albright,
Defense Secretary Cohen, General Shelton of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and top bureaucrat Richard
Clarke, with help from Bill Richardson and Richard Holbrook, among others. At that time, the
main project which the Principals’ Committee was promoting was the bombing of Serbia, which
was seen as a means for humiliating the Russian government of Boris Yeltsin and promoting the
further disintegration of Russia, in conformity with what we know today as the Brzezinski plan.
Russian Prime Minister Primakov was flying across the Atlantic with a very high probability of
arriving at a negotiated solution when the despicable Al Gore gave the order to begin the bombing
of Serbia, causing Primakov to turn back over mid-ocean, and return to Moscow. At a later point,
the scoundrel General Wesley Clark joined forces with British Prime Minister Tony Blair in order
to secure a NATO invasion of Serbia by land forces, a move which would have led to extravagant
casualties on the NATO side in the course of destroying that country. By this time, fortunately,
Clinton had recouped enough of his powers to be able to block the move, which coincided with the
Washington conference held to mark the 50th anniversary of the NATO pact. This time around, the
task of the Principals’ Committee was clearly the winding down of the Iraq war, and the ratcheting
up of operations against Sudan, Zimbabwe, Burma, Venezuela, and ultimately against China and
Russia.
The rogue B-52 incident was forecast by me in an essay entitled “Cheney Determined to Strike
in US with WMD This Summer,” issued on July 21, 2007, and widely distributed in July-August
2007 on the internet and in print form in the Rock Creek Free Press in Washington, as well as in
other papers. This was followed by the Kennebunkport Warning, which was posted online in the
evening of August 26, 2007, less than 72 hours before the rogue B-52 nuclear missiles were loaded.
By September 3, the Kennebunkport Warning was posted on 110,000 web sites worldwide. The
precision and timeliness of this warning represent an unprecedented intelligence achievement. But
since October-December 2007, the danger of a US attack on Iran has steadily declined.
Brzezinski’s hit list is much more ambitious, and includes Sudan, Pakistan, Burma, and China,
all stepping stones to the final reckoning with Moscow. The main possibility of an attack on Iran in
the present situation comes from disgruntled Israeli factions like the one around Netanyahu who are
aghast that they are being demoted from their previous role as the hub of US strategy to the status of
just another expendable pawn in Brzezinski’s lunatic plan for confrontation with Beijing and
Moscow. The Israelis are horrified by Obama, just as everyone in the world should be. The winning
faction of the US-UK establishment does not want the attack on Iran, and the Israelis would be
foolhardy to try it on their own. The threats today from former IDF chief and Israeli Transport
Minister Shaul Mofaz, about an Israeli solo attack on Iran because of the failure of economic
sanctions to stop nuclear development, indicate deep discontent, but the guess here is that they are a
bluff. We will soon find out: if the Israelis do not strike Iran in the next few weeks, they will have
lost their chance, as the Trilaterals continue to consolidate their power.
