| Gates is a secret government toady, not the autonomous figure of integrity required to terminate US involvement in Bush’s catstrophic Iraq adventure. | |

The nomination of Robert Gates to be Secretary of Defense must be rejected. Gates is deeply implicated in three decades of crimes by the intelligence community. There is no reason to think he intends to begin the necessary rapid departure of US forces from Iraq. His nomination by Bush can only be read as a deliberate provocation directed against the new Democratic Congress. Will the Democrats fight back, or will they capitulate? The American people are watching the Democratic Senators carefully, and they are appalled by the self-congratulatory and clubby narcissism of the Senate at a time when US forces are facing encirclement and decimation in Iraq and Afghanistan. . Senators must not only vote against Gates; they must stop the confirmation process with a filibuster. A look at Gates’ sordid record shows why.
Robert Gates was an integral part of the gun-running, drug-running, and death squad murders lumped under the heading of the Iran-Contra scandal. Gates started in Iran-contra as a stooge of William Casey, and continued under Bush the elder.
When Gates was nominated by Reagan to be head of the CIA in 1987, his role in Iran-contra crimes was already so filthy and so blatant that he was forced to drop out of contention under questioning. In doing this, Gates was seeking to defend his new master, George H.W. Bush, who at that time was preparing a presidential bid for 1988. The elder Bush was the czar of all Reagan-Bush covert operations, including Iran-contra. Gates fell on his sword to avoid revelations which would have doomed the candidacy of Bush the elder. Payback for Gates came in June 1991, when he was nominated once again to be head of the CIA, this time by Bush the elder. Sam Nunn and some others posed embarrassing questions, but this time the cover-up of Gates’ Iran-contra role was supervised by Sen. David Boren of the Bush Skull & Bones clique. The Democrats, intimated by the elder Bush’s apparent victory in the first Gulf war, rolled over. If Gates was too dirty to even get to a vote in committee in 1987, how can he be acceptable today? If Democratic Senators like Levin and Biden opposed Gates in 1991, how can they find him acceptable for a much more important post at a time of far greater crisis?
Gates’ resume is marked by a total absence of independent and competent judgment. His pedigree is rather that of a stooge who serves powerful masters. The first was Reagan’s CIA Director William Casey, the kingpin of Iran-contra. The second was George H.W. Bush, who took over that role from Casey. Gates appears as a Bush family retainer, as when he was tapped by the family in 1999 to become Dean of the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. Gates is a secret government toady, not the autonomous figure of integrity required to terminate US involvement in Bush’s catstrophic Iraq adventure.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The Bush regime has become infamous for fixing the facts and the intelligence to suit the pre-determined policy of aggression and adventurism. As Pentagon chief, Gates would control the majority of the US intelligence budget. His track record promises nothing but more faked intelligence. In September 1991, Time Magazine cited widespread reports that Gates “cooked the books” while he was at the CIA to support the political demands of the Reagan and Bush regimes. A New York Times editorial of November 4, 1991 concluded that “charges that Mr. Gates slanted intelligence assessments, leaving Congress in the dark and more amenable to administration policy, stand unrefuted.” George Shultz reports in his memoirs that he “felt that Gates was giving me an idealized picture of what was an altogether different reality,” and complained to Gates on January 5, 1987, “I don’t have any confidence in the intelligence community I feel you try to manipulate me. So you have a very dissatisfied customer. If this were a business, I’d find myself another supplier.” The Senate would be well advised to find itself another supplier today. Will Gates resist the new attacks on Iran, Syria. North Korea, demanded by Cheney and the neocons? His assurances in this regard are worthless.
In the final report of the Independent Counsel for Iran/Contra Matters, Lawrence Walsh left little doubt that he believed Gates had given perjured testimony during that investigation. But Walsh concluded that the matters involved were so complicated that it would be very difficult to prove them before a jury. For this reason and for no other, Gates did not face criminal charges for perjury.
Most damning of all is the fact that Gates was one of the founders of al Qaeda, the CIA’s Arab Legion which was assembled to attack the Soviets in Afghanistan. Gates is thus part of the infrastructure that produced the patsies of 9/11:
According to former CIA Director Robert Gates’s memoir From the Shadows, the big expansion of the US covert operation in Afghanistan began in 1984. During this year, “the size of the CIA’s covert program to help the Mujaheddin increased several times over,” reaching a level of about $500 million in US and Saudi payments funneled through the Zia regime in Pakistan. As Gates recalled, “it was during this period [1985] that we began to learn of a significant increase in the number of Arab nationals from other countries who had traveled to Afghanistan to fight in the Holy War against the Soviets. They came from Syria, Iraq, Algeria, and elsewhere, and most fought with the Islamic fundamentalist Muj groups, particularly that headed by Abdul Resaul Sayyaf. We examined ways to increase their participation, perhaps in the form of some sort of ‘international brigade,’ but nothing came of it. Years later, these fundamentalist fighters trained by the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan would begin to show up around the world, from the Middle East to New York City, still fighting their Holy War only now including the United States among their enemies. Our mission was to push the Soviets out of Afghanistan. We expected a post-Soviet Afghanistan to be ugly, but never considered that it would become a haven for terrorists operating worldwide.” (Gates 349) But the international brigade Gates talked about was in fact created as the group now known as al Qaeda. (Tarpley, 9/11 Synthetic Terror, pp.139-140 )
This is the same al Qaeda which provided the troupe of patsies, psychotics, and double agents (bin Laden, Atta, Moussaoui, etc.) which were used to pin the 9/11 attacks on Arabs and Moslems instead of the US bankers’ rogue network which actually carried out 9/11 for geopolitical reasons. Gates is up to his ears in the terror apparatus of this rogue network, the September criminals who created 9/11.
There can be no question of approving such a candidate. Even the Senate’s willingness to hold hearings for so compromised a figure amounts to an obscene farce. In the recent election, Democrats campaigned against the rubber-stamp Republican Congress. These same Democrats dare not rubber stamp the Gates nomination now. In particular, Democratic presidential candidates in the Senate are reminded that if they fail to filibuster Gates, the aroused anti-war base of the Democratic Party will demand accountability on the campaign trail. We do not want bi-partisan sellouts, but rather a real opposition to the Bush regime and its crimes. Above all, we want 9/11 truth as the essential precondition for restoring lawful government.

“9/11 truth as the essential precondition for restoring lawful government”
I couldn’t agree more Webster. 911 truth is NOT DEAD and NEVER WILL BE.
Gates is a monster and they shouldn’t even consider him. Makes me sick.

intimated or intimidated? proof read son, not spell check.
also, i am pretty sure the us armed forces are not on the verge of being ‘decimated’ in iraq. how many nuclear powered aircraft carriers have they sunk?
how many jets have they shot down?
more mexicans have died in the border drug war than us troops in the entire Operation Iraqi Freedumb.
hyperbolic statements and inflation or inflammatory comments in the infowar journalism team make this site less credible. it is like the fox news lens. everyone knows it is tainted. there is great info in your article that should be passed around or viral, but i make myself look stupid if i jump in bed with your hyperbole.

Totally make sense why he (Gates) was CEO of Texas A&M, control papers at Colleges and Crack down on any dissent.

Its amazing how the globalist have mastermind their evil to put whomever they want to in certain positions for their political power!! And their power is derived from the powers of darkness whom Gates and his fellow puppets are used to bring about this coming hideous and draconian new world antichrist order!! And in order to defeat the globalist; we can only do this through the power of God because they have deceived most of the whole world!! As they will become their BEAST CHIPPED SLAVES IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE!!
THAT IS WHY PEOPLE LIKE ALEX JONES SHOULD JOIN THE FIGHT BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT AND TRUTH AND LIES SO THAT WE CAN PREPARE MORE PEOPLE FOR HEAVEN AND FOR THE COMING BEAST SYSTEM that will enslave all of humanity and try to force everybody to have their zombie making and autonotomic making beast chip!!

His nomination is by Bush, and can only be read as a deliberate provocation directed against the new Democratic Congress. It wasnt by Barack, but its up to the Democratic congress to Filibuster Bush’s desision.
December 8th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Great article from Webster. He’s absolutely right, all these guys are dirty.
December 8th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Thank you very much for this article, Mr. Tarpley. I will pass it along to as many others as I can.
Hmmmph! Just look at those smug bastards… like it’s all a big joke to them. THEY are the big joke. Just how stupid do they really think we all are?!
I just want to take them out back and bitch-slap the smugness right out of them.
December 8th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Interesting observations. The only problem is that Tarpley is apparantly in need of a civics lesson.
Since Gates is already the sitting Secretary, he does not need to go through another set of confirmation hearings for him to remain under Obama. So, basically, Tarpley’s solution is pointless and unconstitutional.
December 8th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I think this is an old article based on this:
“His nomination by Bush can only be read as a deliberate provocation directed against the new Democratic Congress. Will the Democrats fight back, or will they capitulate?”
It’s being brought up again since Obama is asking Gates to stay on, but the filibuster should have happened when Bush first nominated Gates. The relevance now is that it further shows Obama isn’t the “democratic savior” people think. The dems might have claimed that if they filibustered Gates Bush would have kept Rumsfeld in place longer. But what is Obama’s excuse?
December 8th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Josh,
If you follow the link to Rense.com you’ll see that this article was written in 2006, back when Gates was first nominated by Bush. So even though it’s relevant today for obvious reasons, I guess this should have been made clearer here…
December 8th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I agree with what Alex Jones has to say about most things. One thing I would say that might help is to try to inform President elect Obama and all members of congress about some of what Alex is saying because it could be that even Obama doesn’t understand just how crooked Gates really is.
I think that Obama wants to help out the middle-class much more than Bush did but I think that if we all try to contact Obama and members of congress-’through email and blogs’-maybe then they won’t be able to claim ignorance.
Thanks,

Couldn’t you have written a new, updated article???
December 8th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Obama understands precisely what is going on. Make no mistake. It’s painfully obvious that he was groomed for exactly what is happening for more than 20 years.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
EARTH CALLING Keith Hooper ARE YOU FOR REAL THAT OBAMA WANTS TO HELP THE MIDDLE CLASS HES A EVEIL ZIONIST SCUMBAG AND HES BLACK CANT SEE WHAT YOU LIKE IN THE MAN AND TO ASSUME OUT OF THE FAIRY TAIL MIND OF YOURS HES A FREIND TO THE MIDDLE CLASS OMG STOP WASTEING MY AIR SIR

December 9th, 2008 at 3:14 am
I dont know if anyone has mentioned this but God TV ch.365 on directv is playing Riddles in Stone a program about the secret societies, occult symbols, etc in our nation. They also are talking about alot of the same stuff Alex Jones speaks of. People are waking up in droves! If you know any religous types that might not lesten to Alex yet, these programs may be just what they need to see.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:39 am
It is all incest.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:20 am
Tarpley forgot to mention that Gates was an integral part of Operation Phoenix during Vietnam where the whole “death squad” terrorism technique was prototyped and put into action only to be used in Central America (by Gates) in the 1980’s and now in Iraq. Just call him “Agent Death Squad”.
