We as spiritual beings or souls come to earth in order to experience the human condition. This includes the good and the bad scenarios of this world. Our world is a duality planet and no amount of love or grace will eliminate evil or nastiness. We will return again and again until we have pierced the illusions of this density. The purpose of human life is to awaken to universal truth. This also means that we must awaken to the lies and deceit mankind is subjected to. To pierce the third density illusion is a must in order to remove ourselves from the wheel of human existences. Love is the Aswer by means of Knowledge and Awareness!

ABSTRACT
This paper examines how the need to gain unfettered access to Iraq's 
extraterrestrial (ET) heritage has played a critical role in influencing US 
foreign policy in the Persian Gulf region ever since the Carter 
administration. The paper analyses how clandestine organizations based in 
the US, Europe and Soviet Union/Russia have historically maneuvered amongst 
themselves to gain the most strategic advantage in having access to and 
exploiting ET technology hidden in Iraq. The paper argues that the need for 
a diplomatic solution to the recent international crisis over Iraq, resulted 
from the desire of clandestine groups in Europe and Russia to restrict 
access to these sites by US organizations that have grown rapidly in power 
and displayed an imperialistic tendency that leads to much anxiety among 
their European counterparts.  

The paper furthermore claims that the planet is experiencing the use of 
'exotic weaponry' between clandestine groups struggling amongst themselves 
over how to share access and control of ET technology in Iraq, while 
suppressing the true nature of the conflict to the general public and most 
elected officials. The paper also argues that an eventual post-war agreement 
to rebuild Iraq under an UN mandate will mark a new phase in the efforts of 
clandestine organizations to coordinate their efforts in exploiting Iraq's 
ET heritage. Finally, the paper claims that the US triumph in launching a 
military takeover in Iraq generates Angst among European clandestine groups 
concerned over the increased power and imperial pretensions of their US 
counterparts

AMERICA'S TRIUMPH & EUROPE'S ANGST - THE SECRET RACE TO CONTROL IRAQ'S 
EXTRATERRESTRIAL HERITAGE
After a hastily organized summit meeting in the Azores on March 16 with his 
European allies, President George Bush decided to abandon diplomatic efforts 
for a further UN Security Council Resolution condemning Iraq's lack of 
progress in fulfilling existing Security Council resolutions concerning any 
weapons of mass destruction possessed by Iraq. In a televised address to the 
Nation on March 17, President Bush gave Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, 48 
hours to leave Iraq together with his sons to prevent an US led invasion. On 
March 19, soon after the deadline had expired, President Bush ordered 
surgical air strikes on Baghdad and the 'second gulf war' had formally begun.   

In the immediate post-Azores environment of finger pointing over 
responsibility for the failed diplomatic efforts to maintain global 
consensus over how to respond to Iraq, Europe and the world watches 
anxiously for the consequences of the US, British and Australian armed 
incursion into Iraq. (1) It is necessary to analyze the global implications 
of the failed diplomatic efforts and the subsequent military incursion from 
an 'exopolitical perspective' since Iraq holds special significance as a 
nation that once hosted an advanced race of extraterrestrials whose legacy 
has not been disclosed to the general public or elected government 
representatives. (2)

This paper examines how the need to gain unfettered access to Iraq's 
extraterrestrial (ET) heritage has played a critical role in influencing US 
foreign policy in the Persian Gulf region ever since the Carter 
administration. The paper analyses how clandestine organizations based in 
the US, Europe and Soviet Union/Russia have historically maneuvered amongst 
themselves to gain the most strategic advantage in having access to and 
exploiting ET technology hidden in Iraq. The paper argues that the need for 
a diplomatic solution to the recent international crisis over Iraq, resulted 
from the desire of clandestine groups in Europe and Russia to restrict 
access to these sites by US organizations that have grown rapidly in power 
and displayed an imperialistic tendency that leads to much anxiety among 
their European counterparts

The paper furthermore claims that the planet is experiencing the use of 
'exotic weaponry' between clandestine groups struggling amongst themselves 
over how to share access and control of ET technology in Iraq, while 
suppressing the true nature of the conflict to the general public and most 
elected officials. The paper also argues that an eventual post-war agreement 
to rebuild Iraq under an UN mandate will mark a new phase in the efforts of 
clandestine organizations to coordinate their efforts in exploiting Iraq's 
ET heritage. Finally, the paper claims that the US triumph in launching a 
military takeover in Iraq generates Angst among European clandestine groups 
concerned over the increased power and imperial pretensions of their US 
counterparts

Iraq's Extraterrestrial Heritage and the Clandestine Political Agenda
In 1976, a scholar translating ancient Sumerian cuneiform texts published 
the first of his books, The 12th Planet

. (3) In his groundbreaking translations, Sitchin described with great 
scholarly precision, the technological wonders and knowledge of the ancient 
civilization of Sumeria. What made his work controversial was that he 
claimed that the Sumerians were aided in starting their civilization by an 
advanced race of beings called the Anunnaki (Sumerian for 'those who came 
from Heaven to Earth'). He described technological wonders possessed by the 
Anunnaki, and described a factional war between the Anunnaki who finally 
departed the planet around 1700 BC. Furthermore, Sitchin described the home 
world of these beings as a mysterious planet that periodically returns to 
the vicinity of the solar system every 3,600 years. Sitchin's translations, 
when combined with biblical and historical records supporting the existence 
of ET races in human affairs, made clear the important role by this ancient 
ET race in the genesis of humanity. (4) Sitchin's translations proved to be 
very controversial and mainstream archeologists dismissed the work as too 
speculative in its definitions, premises and conclusions. (5) However, there 
were very influential clandestine organizations that took Sitchin's work 
much more seriously

Ever since at least 1947, US based clandestine organizations have been 
engaged in the reverse engineering of downed ET spacecraft, and 
communicating with different ET races. (6) The most prominent of these 
organizations was associated with a secret project named Majestic that was 
created by President Truman in a classified memo he signed in 1947 wherein 
he wrote: "Hereafter this matter shall be referred to only as Operation 
Majestic Twelve." (7) Majestic initially comprised 12 members drawn 
primarily from the defense and intelligence community. Over time clandestine 
organizations grew rapidly due to the complexity and size of the ET 
presence, and they remained a public secret with their existence and 
composition revealed neither to the general public nor to most elected 
public officials. (8)

The most prominent of the reverse engineering efforts of clandestine 
organizations have involved a race of ETs commonly described as 'Grays', 
similar in appearance to the ET's depicted in Steven Spielberg's famous 
movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The technology possessed by the 
Grays was far advanced to anything possessed by humanity, and efforts began 
immediately to learn about and reverse engineer this technology. (9) The 
content of Sitchin's work describing an ancient ET race would most certainly 
have aroused the curiosity of these clandestine organizations in the US and 
elsewhere. The possibility that the Anunnaki described by Sitchin had 
attained a level of technological sophistication even more advanced than 
that attained by Grays was something that had to be seriously explored
Certainly the giant physical bodies possessed by this ancient race of ET's - 
the Anunnaki - suggested they had reached an evolutionary level in 
biological terms that was more evolved than the Grays who appeared to be 
suffering genetic problems. If the technological accomplishments of the 
Anunnaki matched their biological evolution, then the Anunnaki would have 
technology far surpassing anything currently possessed by any of the 
clandestine organizations around the planet created to study and reverse 
engineer ET technology

Even more perplexing for clandestine organizations, was the idea that this 
advanced race could one day return to the Earth and again interact with 
humanity as they did in the remote past. The idea that the Anunnaki's home 
world periodically returned to the solar system would most surely have 
attracted attention in terms of any possible time line and what this meant 
for humanity

One way of confirming Sitchin's hypotheses would have been to use the 
recently pioneered 'remote viewing programs' that had been secreted 
sponsored in the early 1970's by a number of US government and military 
intelligence agencies. (10) It is likely that these and other intelligence 
gathering efforts confirmed the validity of some if not most of Sitchin's 
hypotheses. If so, then there would have been tremendous foreign policy 
implications. US and European clandestine organizations would undoubtedly 
have made it a top priority to gain access to these ancient ET sites in 
southern Iraq to learn about the advanced technology used by the Anunnaki. 
Furthermore, they would have been interested in learning more about the 
purported home world of the Anunnaki in case it did indeed return to the 
vicinity of the solar system in the near future

The problem, however, was that at the time Sitchin's first book appeared, 
the Cold War still existed and Iraq was firmly in the Soviet sphere of 
influence. After a left wing coup in 1958 that deposed the Western leaning 
King, Iraq nationalized its oil industries and moved firmly in the Soviet 
camp. In 1968, the radical socialist Ba'ath Party came to power and 
increased ties with the Soviet Union developing a socialist system that was 
secular and dependent on Warsaw Pact countries

The Soviet Union (now Russia) would undoubtedly have known about Sitchin's 
work and would already have been working to confirm if Sitchin's hypotheses 
were true. The Soviet Union had a powerful political advantage in gaining 
access to these ET sites if and when they were found, and exploiting 
whatever technology lay within

With the unlikelihood that Iraq would cooperate with US/European clandestine 
organizations in gaining access to these ancient ET sites, clandestine 
organizations in the US and Europe had a disturbing policy dilemma 
confronting them. If the international status quo remained, then at some 
point the Soviet Union might find these ET sites, and reverse engineer 
whatever technology existed and thereby eradicate whatever technological 
advantages the West might hold. Furthermore, if the home world of this race 
did return, then the Soviet Union would be best placed to respond to 
whatever contingencies this created.

Given the above scenario, it would have been scarcely imaginable that US and 
European clandestine organizations wouldn't have developed a top secret set 
of foreign policy goals whose aim it was to bring about US/European access 
to Iraq's buried ET technology. This would have to be achieved without 
provoking a Cold War confrontation with the Soviet Union who would have been 
aware of the West's goals and resolutely opposed to US/European access
The Secret Agenda to Gain Access to Iraq's ET Technology.

US and European based clandestine organizations have since at least the end 
of the Second World War coordinated among themselves a joint policy in 
gaining access to and reverse engineering ET technology found around the 
planet. The most prominent international forum is undoubtedly the Bilderberg 
group which holds closed meetings on an annual basis. (11) These meetings 
provide the opportunity for the leading industrialists, politicians, media 
magnates and military figures from different Western nations to meet and 
coordinate policies that have global significance ranging from financial and 
economic policy, to orchestrating political events in order to bring about 
favorable international conditions for their various agendas. Less well 
known is that the Bilderberg group has played a key role in ensuring global 
non-disclosure of the ET presence, and to discredit individuals and 
organizations attempting to reveal the true extent of ET intervention in 
human affairs. (12)

Organizations such as the Bilderberg group and other US/European based 
clandestine organizations design foreign policy goals that are 'secret' 
insofar as these are not revealed to elected public officials, and revealed 
only to those officials who are bound by secrecy oaths not to disclose 
information about the ET presence and clandestine policies to gain access to 
ET technology. In this way, it has been accurately reported that clandestine 
organizations have long been able to orchestrate international crises to 
bring about political conditions that fulfill their foreign policy goals. (13)

The success of the secret foreign policy goals of US/European clandestine 
organizations in gaining access to Iraq's ET heritage and preparing for a 
possible return of the Anunnaki, lay in promoting international conditions 
that would allow US/Europe to gain unfettered access to Iraq without 
provoking Soviet intervention and a full scale crisis in the midst of the 
Cold War. The way in which this could be done would be to promote a series 
of regional crises that would compel Iraq's staunchly secular socialist 
regime to take military advantage of these crises

The ultimate result would be that Iraq would become increasingly dependent 
on Western nations, and veer away from its alliance and dependence on the 
Soviet Union which would be distracted by its own regional crises. The 
solution to the US/European policy dilemma was to sponsor upheaval in Iraq's 
main rival and regional powerhouse, Iran, that would inevitably force Iraq 
into a military confrontation with its more powerful neighbor, and thereby 
create opportunities for greater US and European influence in Iraq

The primary focus of this secret agenda was that the Shah of Iran would be 
toppled, and replaced by a fundamentalist Islamic regime that would create 
havoc and uncertainty in the Persian Gulf region. The success of this 
radical plan rested in a twofold strategy of first withdrawing the 
traditional support of the US for the Shah of Iran who maintained a tight 
hold on political power through his powerful security forces; and second, 
fomenting an Islamic revolution by allowing a leading Iranian cleric in 
exile to produce revolutionary literature for export into Iran. This first 
part of this dual strategy was made possible by the Carter administration 
which had begun advocating human rights as an important foreign policy 
principle for the US in dealing with its global allies soon after coming 
into office in January 1977. (14) Carter's human rights initiative placed 
pressure on the Shah for political reforms that undermined his tight hold on 
political power and restrained him from using military force to stay in 
power. 

The Shah's inability to pass sufficient reforms to appease the 
growing Iranian middle class, led to a rapid increase in political dissent
The second part of this dual strategy was for France to give asylum in 
October 1978 to an exiled Islamic cleric, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who 
would be given free rein to play a destabilizing role by advocating a 
radical Islamic State in Iran and undermining attempts to create a liberal 
secular state by moderate Iranian reformers. France agreed to give asylum to 
Khomeini after he was expelled from Najaf, Iraq by the Iraqi regime that was 
under pressure from Iran to silence the outspoken cleric. The role of France 
in allowing Khomeini to enter France and use it as a base to produce a 
series of fiery tapes and written pamphlets denouncing the Shah's regime 
proved critical in sparking Islamic fervor and undermining efforts by 
moderate political reformers for a secular liberal government under the 
Shah. (15)

This success of this clandestine dual pronged strategy ultimately led to the 
collapse of the Shah's regime who had to flee from Iran on January 16, 1979. 
Efforts by moderate Iranian reformers to bring about a modern liberal state 
were doomed by France's decision to allow Ayatollah Khomeini to return to 
Iran in this critical period. Three days after the Shah's departure, 
Ayatollah Khomeini triumphantly flew from France to millions of admiring 
supporters in Iran to announce the formation of a new government, and 
formally begin the Iranian revolution. The Shah of Iran had been 
'sacrificed' and liberal Iranian reformers 'betrayed' so a series of 
regional crises in the Persian Gulf could be orchestrated by US/European 
clandestine organizations that would allow them to gain a strategic foothold 
in Iraq.

The impact of the Iranian revolution in regional terms was ominous for the 
'Sunni' dominated regimes that surrounded the Islamic Republic dominated by 
the 'Shiites' of Iran. (16) For the Sunni dominated Socialist regime of Iraq 
(Iraqi President Al-Bakr was forced to resign on July 16, 1979, and was 
succeeded by his powerful Vice-President, Saddam Hussein) the Islamic 
revolution was a looming threat to the territorial integrity of Iraq and 
even the survival of its socialist regime. Iraq was the most developed 
society in the Arab world with high per capita indices in health, education, 
and public services. Iraq's political system was dominated by socialist 
principles which made it a very secular and progressive administration in 
the region. Iraq, however, had a very large Shiite population in southern 
Iraq (location of the ancient Sumerian cities in which lay buried whatever 
facilities left behind by the ancient Anunnaki)

Iraq Attempts to take Military Advantage of the Iranian Revolution
The new Islamic Republic of Iran was a dire threat to the territorial 
integrity of Iraq since it would undoubtedly influence the restive Shiite 
population of Iraq who make up 60% of the population and resented the Sunni 
elites (20%) that ruled Iraq. (17) Furthermore, Iran's Islamic State was an 
ideological rival to the Ba'ath socialist system then existing in Iraq. 
Saddam Hussein instinctively understood the threat posed by revolutionary 
Iran to Iraq, and decided to act while the Islamic regime was still in its 
infancy and Iran was preoccupied by consolidating its regime

More importantly for Saddam, the Iranian military had been decimated by the 
Revolution with its most senior and skilled personnel either escaping the 
new regime, or being purged by the new Iranian authorities. The mighty 
Iranian military which only a short time earlier was the most powerful in 
the region, suddenly was having difficulty finding enough trained pilots and 
spare parts for its advanced fleets of US supplied aircraft

The new Iraqi regime under Saddam Hussein decided to strike and launched a 
devastating attack in September 1980 on its larger and more powerful 
neighbor, Iran, that resulted in a long eight year war that quickly ground 
down into a stalemate. Western states along with wealthy Arab states began 
to support Saddam's regime with technology, finances and secret armaments. 
(18) The Soviet Union, preoccupied by its own military difficulties in 
countering an Islamic revolution in Afghanistan was not able to provide 
sufficient resources to help Iraq in its war. The end of the long Iran-Iraq 
war in 1988 occurred almost simultaneously with a rapidly transforming 
global political climate

Eastern bloc countries belonging to the Warsaw Pact were beginning to 
collapse and the mighty Soviet Union was also in the initial stages of its 
eventual disintegration into 15 independent republics. With the Soviet 
Union/Russia rapidly losing global influence, Western states gained greater 
prominence in Iraq. This was especially true for France and Germany, both of 
which played important roles in directly financing and aiding Iraq in its 
long war with Iran. Significantly, France had played a direct role in 
supporting the construction of nuclear facilities in Osirak which were 
bombed by the Israeli airforce in 1981. Iraq could count on France and 
Germany to take up any slack caused by the disintegration of the Soviet Union
France, Germany and the Soviet Union/Russia, would also have contributed to 
Iraq's construction of a sophisticated network of underground tunnels and 
bunkers that was used by the Iraqi leadership. 

These elaborate constructions 
occurred soon after Saddam's elevation to power and would have been 
motivated both by the threat posed by Iranian missile attack, and Saddam's 
awareness that Iraq's ancient (ET) heritage, much of which lay buried, was 
the key to his own grandiose plans for regional dominance. (19) It is very 
likely that at some point in the construction of these underground 
constructions throughout Iraq, evidence of Iraq's extraterrestrial 
civilization was first encountered. The complex task of studying and 
eventually reverse engineering these ET assets would have begun
These initial efforts, however, would have been limited by the contingencies 
of the Iran-Iraq war, the highly advanced nature of these technologies, and 
Iraq's effort to extract maximum concessions from Soviet/Russian and 
European efforts to study and exploit this technology. It is worth 
emphasizing that the countries that actively assisted Iraq in this 
construction process were those that were most insistent of a diplomatic 
solution to the recent crisis: Russia, France and Germany
US Foreign Policy and the First Gulf War.

Despite its tacit support for Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war, the United States 
had a distinct disadvantage to its European partners/rivals in gaining 
access to Iraq's ancient ET sites who had a longer history in assisting 
Iraq's socialist regime. The Iraq socialist system, its history of human 
rights abuses, the brutal policies of Saddam that included assassinating his 
rivals and using chemical weapons on Iraq's Kurdish minorities, Iraq's 
strong links with the Soviet Union, and strong opposition to the state of 
Israel, made it difficult for the US to formally improve its relationship 
with Iraq's regime

The US Congress, like most institutions comprising elected government 
representatives, was simply unaware of the need for US foreign policy to 
have a cooperative relationship with Saddam's regime in order to exploit the 
latter's ET assets. Congress would have revolted at any attempt to openly 
assist what appeared to be a brutal regime run by a despotic ruler. This 
meant that US based clandestine organizations had to 'orchestrate' 
international events in a way that would fulfill the secret policy goal of 
gaining unfettered access to Iraq's ET heritage

Under the first President Bush, Iraq and Kuwait became engaged in a 
diplomatic crisis over the overproduction of oil by Kuwait in 1991. Kuwait's 
overproduction meant that world oil prices were deflated and Iraq's oil 
production would not be sufficient to generate the necessary revenue for 
Iraq to begin the difficult reconstruction process after its costly war with 
Iran. This resulted in making Iraq more dependent on Western states and 
clandestine organizations, a result that Saddam would not have been pleased 
with given his undoubted awareness that financial independence would give 
him maximum negotiating power over whom he allowed to exploit the ET 
resources on his territory

Even more vexing to the regime of Saddam Hussein, Kuwait was demanding 
repayment of the war loans it had given to Iraq during the eight year 
Iraq-Iran war. For Saddam, this was the ultimate affront given that Iraq had 
fought a war that directly benefitted Kuwait and the other Sunni dominated 
states in the Persian Gulf. As far as Saddam was concerned, Kuwait should 
have shown more gratitude for the sacrifice in financial and human resources 
undergone by Iraq in its debilitating war with Iran. It is very unlikely 
that Kuwait would have taken such a risky policy in dealing with its 
powerful neighbor had it not been for firm assurances by its main sponsor 
and historical patron, Britain, that Kuwait would not be abandoned in a 
conflict with Iraq

Iraq's longstanding grudge against Britain's sponsorship of Kuwait went back 
to 1899, when Britain took Kuwait "under its protection." The problem was 
that Kuwait was then a part of Iraq's Basra district, that was ruled by the 
crumbling Ottoman Empire. When Iraq became independent in 1932, Basra, the 
newly independent country's main seaport, no longer included Kuwait. So Iraq 
felt cheated of both the unfettered ocean access and wealth that the 
territory of Kuwait offered

So odious was this British policy for Iraq's political elites that ever 
since its independence Iraq's leaders have refused to recognize the 
sovereign statehood of Kuwait, and continued to call for its reintegration 
into Iraq. In raising its oil production, calling for repayment of its war 
loans, and its dubious political legitimacy in the eyes of Iraq's political 
elite, Kuwait was undoubtedly acting in a risky and antagonistic way

In forcing a change in Kuwait's 'antagonistic' policies Iraq decided to 
adopt some brinkmanship and massed a large army on its border with Kuwait. 
At this critical point where Iraq was indicating its intent to possibly 
invade Kuwait if it did not change its policies, the US Ambassador to Iraq 
made what appeared to be a 'crucial error'. In advising Iraq about what the 
US view was about the simmering Iraq/Kuwait despite, she said that the 
following:
"We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts ... such as your dispute 
with Kuwait. Secretary [of State James] Baker has directed me to emphasize 
the instruction ... that Kuwait is not associated with America." (20)
Given the history of Iraq's relationship with Kuwait, the 'risk taking' 
personal psychology of Saddam Hussein, and the antagonistic policy of the 
Kuwaiti leadership, it may well have been predicted that Saddam would 
interpret this as a green light to invade. April Glaspie was appropriately 
'punished' for her 'crucial error'. (21) However, what if this tragic error 
by a senior diplomat was indeed not a mistake? What if Secretary Baker's 
instruction were intended to provide Saddam with the belief that the US 
would stand by while he invaded Kuwait and eventually forced a diplomatic 
solution that would address some of Iraq's historical grievances over Kuwait

Saddam may well have interpreted such a policy as a means of the US 
ingratiating itself with his regime in order to gain access to Iraq's 
strategic resources including any ET technology that had been discovered. 
Saddam may well have viewed this as a quid pro quo for allowing the US to 
gain more influence in Iraq and have access to the hidden/discovered ET 
technology. Saddam, a risk taker by nature, may well have been fooled by 
subtle signals by US policy officials and believed his regime would benefit 
from launching an attack

President Bush was a former head of the Central Intelligence Agency and 
therefore aware of, and most likely a member of, US based clandestine 
organizations set up to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology. It is 
undoubtedly the case that Secretary Baker, as close friend and former chief 
of staff for President Bush, would also have been aware of the need for US 
access into Iraq to reverse engineer whatever ET technology existed. Key 
figures in the Bush administration were most likely aware of any time line 
that existed in terms of a possible return of the Anunnaki home world

The conflict over Kuwait was an ideal opportunity to lull Saddam' into 
taking the risk of military intervention in order to bring about the desired 
US intervention that would lead to greater US access to and control over 
whatever significant ET sites existed in Iraq. Thus the political crisis 
that engulfed Iraq and Kuwait, and which resulted in Saddam taking the risky 
policy of military intervention in Kuwait, was orchestrated by US based 
clandestine organizations who desired unfettered access by the West into Iraq

While such a conspiratorial orchestration of international events that led 
to the 'first' Gulf War in 1991 is undoubtedly controversial for many 
readers, it is very consistent with the way in which the ET presence has 
been systematically suppressed globally. The policy of non-disclosure of the 
ET presence to the mass media and most elected public officials is made 
possible by the ability of clandestine organizations to control the mass 
media by manipulating evidence, intimidating reporters with threats of 
ridicule or dismissal for investigating UFO reports, and ensuring censorship 
by editors and media owners. (22) The same clandestine organizations 
responsible for this global policy of non-disclosure, has the power to 
orchestrate international crises and events to bring about favorable policy 
outcomes. This ability is largely due to officials in these clandestine 
organizations being appointed rather than elected. This gives them great 
freedom in formulating and implementing public policy without the oversight 
and accountability that elected officials experience

Furthermore, officials in clandestine organizations operate with a much 
longer time framework than elected public officials who typically operate 
with short election cycles as an important conditioning factor in developing 
foreign policy goals. In short, orchestrating international events to attain 
key foreign policy objections is well within the capabilities, resources, 
lack of accountability and oversight, and lengthy time cycles which 
characterize the policy making environment of clandestine government 
organizations

The possibility that ET technology lay hidden in Iraq, which had a level of 
sophistication far advanced to whatever had been reverse engineered by 
recovered ET craft since 1947, would have made gaining unfettered access to 
Iraq a crucial policy goal for US based clandestine organizations. This 
would have been accentuated if it was confirmed that the home world of the 
Anunnaki would be soon be returning to the Earth's vicinity of the solar 
system

The existence and location of these ancient ET sites, which in most 
likelihood had been discovered by the Iraqis in the 1980s as a result of 
their extensive underground construction projects, was also possibly known 
by those states who had long provided technical assistance to Iraq: Russia, 
France and Germany. US based clandestine organizations were therefore at a 
relative disadvantage to their European partners/rivals in gaining access to 
this ET technology. US based clandestine organizations orchestrated the 
first Gulf War in order to provide the US the desired access

Subsequently, Hussein did go ahead with a war against Kuwait on August 1990, 
and contrary to the message delivered by Glaspie, he found that the US was 
resolutely opposed to Iraq's invasion and did not favor any compromise over 
the territorial integrity of Kuwait. In the protracted diplomatic dialogue 
over securing Iraq's withdrawal, the first Bush administration ruled out any 
concessions to Iraq. This meant that Russian diplomacy, motivated by 
awareness that a war would appreciably diminish Russian influence in Iraq 
and its relative advantage in gaining access to and reverse engineering ET 
technology, would ultimately fail.

The failure of the Bush administration to support any face-saving compromise 
ensured that a full scale war would be fought to 'liberate' Kuwait. The US 
led multinational military intervention that began in January 1991 led to 
the expulsion of Iraq from Kuwait, and resulted in the US for the first time 
having a strategic foothold in Iraq with a number of Security Council 
resolutions giving legitimacy to the US presence.
The US Strategic Bind After First Gulf War

Unfortunately for the secret policy goals of the first Bush administration, 
it was not able to force regime change in Iraq. This meant US based 
clandestine organizations were now in a strategic bind in terms of accessing 
and exploiting the ET technology under the control of Saddam's regime. The 
US did not have the international authority to forcibly replace Saddam's 
regime and Saddam undoubtedly felt betrayed by the US. He could be expected 
to cooperate further with Russian and European clandestine organizations in 
exploiting ET technology, and thereby frustrate clandestine US organizations.

Clandestine European groups together with their Russian partners were in a 
stronger strategic position to their US partners/rivals in gaining access to 
and exploiting whatever ET technology existed in Iraq. Saddam was intent on 
having his vengeance against the US and Britain by denying all access to 
them. Given that the US had the most sophisticated reverse engineering 
program on the planet and was rapidly developing global preponderance as the 
world's lone superpower, this was a scenario that was deeply disturbing for 
US officials aware of the possible implications of the ET technology in Iraq 
to change the global balance of power. At the same time, European/Russian 
clandestine groups were concerned over the potential for the US to further 
consolidate its technological superiority and global dominance if it gained 
access to Iraq's ET technology.

Another obstacle to the plan of US based clandestine organizations to gain 
access to ET technology in Iraq, was the surprise election of President Bill 
Clinton in 1992. Unlike the first President Bush, Clinton was not privileged 
to information concerning the clandestine programs involving ET technology. 
(23) There is evidence that ever since the Kennedy administration, there has 
been a policy of not disclosing full details of the reverse engineering of 
ET technology to sitting Presidents since this threatened the non-disclosure 
policy of the ET presence and the lack of executive oversight enjoyed by US 
based clandestine organizations. (24) As a former head of the Central 
Intelligence Agency, President Bush was privy to this information before he 
assumed his Presidency. Clinton early during his tenure demonstrated an 
interest in the ET presence which threatened the non-disclosure policy of 
clandestine organizations, and their political agenda in gaining complete 
access to Iraq's extraterrestrial heritage. Predictably, little happened 
during the period of the Clinton administration for completing the secret 
agenda of gaining unfettered access to Iraq's ET heritage.

The election of the second Bush administration meant that the agenda of 
clandestine US organizations for gaining access to Iraq's ET heritage could 
resume. Many former officials from the first Bush and earlier Republican 
administrations supporting regime change in Iraq were appointed in the new 
administration. As a result of their association with the Department of 
Defense, many if not all of these would have been familiar with clandestine 
activities to reverse engineer ET technology and the true reason motivating 
regime change in Iraq.

These officials included Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy 
Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of state, Richard Armitage, Richard 
Perle, chairman of the Defense Policy Board, a Pentagon advisory panel, and 
finally Vice President Richard Cheney who was Secretary of Defense in the 
first Bush Administration. (25) The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, 
had provided the vehicle for the Bush administration gaining support for 
eradicating global terrorism wherever it manifested. Once the Bush 
administration could make a plausible case that Iraq was a sponsor of global 
terrorism, and that it had concealed its weapons of mass destruction which 
constituted a threat to the US, it could develop the necessary public 
support for invading Iraq.

The Dangerous Rift Between US and European Clandestine Organizations
In the build up to the threatened preemptive war in Iraq, a number of events 
had occurred that indicated that clandestine European/Russian organizations 
were at odds with their US partners/rivals. Germany was the first major 
nation that publically committed itself to ruling out a preemptive war 
against Iraq, irrespective of progress in the weapons inspection process 
that began after passage of Security Council Resolution 1441 on November, 8, 
2002. Germany's staking out the 'extreme position' made it possible for 
France, and then Russia, to take up the more moderate position of only 
calling for military intervention if Iraq failed to comply with Resolution 
1441.

France and Russia, effectively stymied US efforts in passing a further 
resolution calling for international military intervention in Iraq to remove 
any proscribed weapons of mass destruction. If the diplomatic maneuvering 
was simply about weapons of mass destruction, then it would be fair to say 
that the US was acting in a bellicose and imperialist manner in demanding a 
further UN Security Council Resolution to bring about closure to the weapons 
inspection process. However, since Western intervention in Iraq has long 
been secretly motivated by gaining access to Iraq's treasure house of ET 
technology, the diplomatic behavior of France, Russia and Germany needs to 
be understood in this context.

Many have viewed the diplomatic opposition by the powerful trio of France, 
Russia and Germany to a US led preemptive war as being clearly in the 
interests of the world community united against the horror of an unnecessary 
war that would devastate the Persian Gulf region, and usher in more acts of 
terrorism in the Middle East and elsewhere. There is however evidence that 
what secretly motivated these nations is the awareness that US access to ET 
technology in Iraq would constitute a threat due to the growing power of US 
based clandestine organizations and their secret reverse engineering projects.
US technological successes in reverse engineering ET technology must surely 
have been a concern for their less well funded and technically proficient 
partners/rivals in Russia, France and Germany. Furthermore, the access 
enjoyed by the latter in accessing this technology in Iraq, would have given 
them some insight into the capabilities of this technology and helped 
balance the technological advantages enjoyed by the US.

More importantly, European/Russian organizations were able to work within 
whatever constraints imposed by the regime of Saddam Hussein in reaching a 
preliminary understanding of the capabilities of this technology. A 
preemptive war that amounted to a unilateral take over of Iraq by the US and 
Britain, was something that European/Russian organizations would not support 
given the increased opportunities this would give to the US in increasing 
its technological advantages and global dominance. In short, Europe was in 
Angst over the prospect of an already dominant US growing more powerful with 
acquisition of even more sophisticated ET technology.

It is very likely that European/Russian clandestine organizations had 
'publically signaled' to their US counterparts that a unilateral takeover of 
Iraq was not acceptable. The destruction of the Space Shuttle Columbia on 
February 1 was very likely a result of the clandestine struggle over who 
would have access and control over Iraq's ET heritage. (26) In a report to 
NASA by Larry Park, a Systems Failure Analyst attempting to identify the 
cause of the Columbia disaster, he claims that the disaster was caused by a 
freak convergence of scalar electromagnetic energy in the mesosphere that 
struck the Shuttle during its return to Earth. (27) 
Park's report points to the possible use of 'scalar weaponry' in the 
destruction of Columbia. Such weaponry uses an innovative form of 
electromagnetic energy that, according to a retired US army colonel and 
scientist Thomas Bearden, was also used in the destruction of the Challenger 
Space Shuttle and other US aviation 'accidents' over the last three decades 
that these scalar weapons have been developed and used. (28)
Another controversial event was the recent passage of the Comet NEAT by the 
sun between February 18-20 which produced an outline of an 'eye' in 
satellite images that occurred almost simultaneously with world wide 
protests against a preemptive war against Iraq. (29) Given the deep 
symbolism of the 'Eye of Horus' appearing in the images, this may have been 
a very public communication produced either by European clandestine 
organizations and/or an extra-terrestrial intelligence warning US policy 
makers about the dangers of a uni-lateral attack on Iraq. (30)

On March 5 an unusual amount of seismic activity had begun occurring around 
the planet. (31) While much speculation surrounded the cause and seriousness 
of these seismic anomalies, it is worth exploring whether the anomalies were 
caused by advanced weapons technology that was either being tested or 
extensively used around the planet. The existence of advanced weaponry that 
could produce seismic activity, volcanoes and severe weather conditions was 
publically acknowledged by a speech given by former Secretary of Defense, 
William Cohen, in 1997, where at a conference discussing the threat posed by 
global terrorism he said: "Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an 
eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off 
earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves..." 
(32) Cohen's speech was not widely reported and indeed has been withdrawn 
from the public archives of the Department of Defense thereby suggesting 
that the development and use of such technology remains highly classified. 

In a number of books and papers discussing 'scalar weapons' which are 
capable of the effects described by Cohen, Tom Beardon suggests that such 
technology has been developed for decades by the former Soviet Union and 
other states. (33) He provides extensive evidence that seismic and weather 
anomalies over the last thirty years have often been caused by these scalar 
weapons. (34) Beardon believes that such technology may well be used during 
the Iraq war and involve urban population centers coming under attack. (35)
If anomalous seismic activity since February 5 was caused by scalar 
weaponry, then it is very likely that a secret war is occurring between 
clandestine groups over access and control over ET technology in Iraq. It is 
likely that European/Russian clandestine organizations are active in such a 
war that is being used to curtail US efforts to take sole control of Iraq's 
ET heritage.

If a secret war is indeed occurring, then it is likely that in the interim 
before a new agreement is reached over access and control of ET technology 
in Iraq, there will continue to be a violent struggle between clandestine 
organizations that is kept from the public arena. Given the power of the 
'exotic' weaponry possessed by these clandestine groups, this means that the 
planet is entering a very dangerous period. As long as disagreement exists, 
and the US continues to project its power and control around the planet, 
violent opposition by non-US based clandestine groups is likely to occur.

Conclusion: Dangerous Times Ahead
The failure of a diplomatic solution to the Iraq crisis has ushered in a 
period of intense conflict between US based clandestine organizations with 
their former partners and now rivals in continental Europe who have aligned 
themselves with Russia. There is evidence that powerful exotic weapons such 
as scalar electromagnetic devices are being used around the planet in an 
effort to warn the US about overstepping itself, and to 'encourage' a 
diplomatic solution to the current crisis over access and control of Iraq's 
ET heritage. In the context of heightened tension and uncertainty following 
the US led invasion of Iraq, the following policy recommendations can be 
made to help navigate through the dangerous times ahead.

Full public disclosure of the ET presence in human affairs and the 
historical role played by different ET's in their interaction with humanity.
Full disclosure of all astronomical data that can confirm whether a tenth 
planet to the solar system exists that has an orbit of approximately 3,600 
years.

Full public disclosure of reverse engineered or ET based technology 
currently possessed by clandestine organizations is immediately required.
An UN mandate for administrating a postwar Iraq in order to ensure 
cooperation and consensus among major powers over how Iraq's ET heritage is 
used is benefit all humanity.

Appointed officials in clandestine organizations need to be fully 
accountable for their actions and policy to their respective national 
legislatures and/or executive branches of government.
Executive and/or Congressional oversight of US based clandestine 
organizations is required to ensure these organizations operate within 
guidelines that are consistent with the constitutional procedures and 
societal values.

In the present political climate where the Bush administration appears 
intent on a unilateral foreign policy supported by a small number of loyal 
allies, there is likelihood of increased global conflict given the threat 
posed by US clandestine organizations gaining a strategic advantage over 
their European/Russian rivals. If predictions that the home world of the 
advanced race of ETs described by Sitchin is soon to reappear are accurate, 
(36) this may help explain the intensified conflict between US and 
European/Russian clandestine organizations that currently exists.
All clandestine groups may be jockeying for the best position in a race for 
ET technology and knowledge that may be necessary in a forthcoming ET 
confrontation/encounter that will determine the future of human civilization 
as we know it.

The US led invasion of Iraq represents success of a decades long secret 
policy aimed at securing US access to Iraq's ET heritage. The price paid for 
America's triumph is European Angst over what the US intends to do with the 
strategic advantage it will soon enjoy in accessing and controlling Iraq's 
ET heritage.
