War sure does spill into the
papers! This story is from the
"I-can-say-whatever-I-want-and-claim-it-was-bad- intelligence
Department.
What happened:
Canada's National Post perpetrated a yellow star hoax against Iran on
the week of May 20th for the purpose of phreaking a war with
Iran. A yellow star hoax is when a hasbara issues a story
that such and such country is making Jews wear name badges again.
Who fell for or amplified the hoax:
Canadian
Prime Minister Stephen Harper immediately vilified Iran for the
"law," announcing that it was typical of Iranians, even if untrue. Australian
Prime Minister John Howard prefaced his great disgust with "if
it's the case." The US State Department
called the "law" "despicable" and having "clear echoes of Germany under
Hitler." Fox News featured a Moroccan
embassador calling for war. WTKK host
Jay Severin repeated it ten times and lathered himself into a
frenzy about Ahmedinejad Hitler. Herald News
Australia (Fox News) ran but then shredded the story. 404
Error. Last week never happened! To be fair, the Herald is
a tabloid and can never be taken seriously.
As the great windshield wiper of journalism goes back and forth,
National Post weaselishly publishes "Iran Eyes Badges for Jews" and
then later on, "Doubts Cast on Identity Badges in Iran", and then still
later on, "Experts Say Report of Badges for Jews in Iran is Untrue."
You have probably read all the lame details by now and have formulated
your own views on the issue. And I know quite well that some of
you are foaming and writhing on the ground in epi-leftist fits because
I
said "Fox News." But my consideration is to do what other web
plagiarists have not, and that is identify the authors and vent a bunch
of embarrassing information about them.
Here is the anatomy of the hucksters network:
Chris Wattie
Author
"Iran Eyes Badges for Jews."
Rabbi Marvin Hier
Dean of Simon Wiesenthal
Center, Los Angeles, the alleged "human rights group" cited by Wattie.
"Raised the
alarm" about "the rise of Nazism" in Iran.
Ali Behroozian
Torontan Iranian expatriate cited
in hoax.
Sourced Unperson
Bernie Farber
CEO of the
Canadian Jewish Congress
Professional outrager gets
"stunned"and "chilled" in print / calls for assassination.

Amir Taheri
Benador

Ghost Writer
Eleana Benador

Transnational Citizen / Booking Agent / Consent Manufacturer
The National Post did print a retraction and an explanation of how it
managed to write disinformation. If you register an account with
them, you can go to their p.o.s. website, and read their retraction a 'site under construction
message' after suffering some reboots and waiting through a few hours
of downloading the page.
The
explanation by Chris Wattie was that he did not write his story, but
that Amir Taheri from the Benador Associates did. Taheri issued
the story again on the New York Post Repost.
Benador Associates is a private intelligence aggregator and neocon PR
firm based in the World Jewish capitals of New York, London, and
Paris. It is composed primarily of Eleana Benador, Richard Perle,
James Woolsey, A.M. Rosenthal, Michael Ledeen, Frank Gaffney, Alexander
Haig, Amir Taheri, and Charles Krauthammer. Therefore this hoax
was perpetrated by CIA, JINSA, CFR, AEI, and MEF and was seeded into
the press through a news-laundering organization. It came back
into the USA via blog and newsgroup blowback, and was quickly deleted
at its point of entry and denied by its original publishers. (The
story then bounces around on the internet forever.)
The war against Iran is part of the Clean Break Strategy for Securing
the Realm, which is a coalition of Israeli Nationalists and American
international oil and investment firms.
