Italy blames France for Niger uranium claim (Update II)

French Spies attack the Internet By Renato Farina - 12 August 2004

What a goal for the anti-3B spy team: the group composed of ex CIA agents, French 007’s and a few international businessmen. We call them the anti-3B team because their goal is to delegitimise Bush, Berlusconi and Blair in the eyes and minds of public opinion.

Over the last few months its become clear that their principle target is George W. Quite logical: the US elections are to be held in November and a series of investigations into the “false” reasons for the Iraq war could be a decisive factor in impeding the reflection of Bush. Now however the nomination of a Director of Intelligence, authoritive both in his specific field and in politics, has ended the game.

Porter Gross is well prepared, knows what’s going on and who’s behind it. In this article a series of elements will be examined in order to “photograph” the precise state of affairs.

To begin with a brief overview of the “story” so far. Nigergate: in his “State of the Union Address” of 23 January 2003 President George Bush used 16 words to denounce the attempt by Iraq to acquire Uranium in Africa. The information, Bush explained, had come from the British Government.

Later the same year, on 7 March, UN officials declared the documents on which the Presidents affirmation was based to be false.

This is where the mystery begins. A group of ex-CIA agents with press, television and Internet media support try to prove that the false documents were deliberately produced by the Italian Secret Services in agreement with the US to justify the invasion of Iraq. Libero has been able to prove how, in reality, not only were the French behind the production of the false documents all along but how at the same time they also tried to push the Americans into falling for the trap.

A few days ago The Financial Times, by common logic, reached the same conclusions. Now?

1.The Washington Monthly doesn’t give up, it’s set to publish an article by Laura Rozen who, according to our sources, will propose yet again a story regarding the participation of an Italian Minister (Antonio Martino) and the Director of the Italian Military Intelligence Services, Nicolò Pollari, in a meeting with the material authors of the false documents. As confirmation of the story the American Ambassador to Rome, Mel Sembler, is cited. In reality, as official documents confirm, it was the Italian Military Intelligence Services (SISMI) who informed both the Italian and American Governments of the “suspicious Roman meetings”. The latest Rozen article is thus disqualified even before reaching the starting line.

2.During the next few weeks a documentary will be released in the US in which, alongside American diplomats that have served in Niger, a number of ex-CIA agents appear. The common objective that unites them is an attempt to demonstrate the role and responsibility of Bush in the dirty affair. No small coincidence this: those involved, as we have already indicated, are the movers and shakers behind a strategy put in place to favour the rise of JF Kerry. Amongst those involved is Vincent Cannistraro, ex-CIA and subsequently a security advisor to the Vatican. Its rather odd that Cannistraro, who in public conferences tried to convince the Americans of the dangers of the Iraqi nuclear threat, is now placing the blame for the false documents on the Italians.

3.Possibly the most curios fact is tied to the publication of an anti-French article by the Financial Times. At 0400hrs on 2 August 2004 the FT published an article by Mark Huband on the newspapers web site, in the days immediately following this a most strange phenomenon occurred: normally during the first few days following publication “on-line articles” can be consulted free of charge, in the case of the Huband article it resulted practically impossible to find and access the story unless the reader knew its exact title, something that is not only very unlikely but totally out of line with normal search procedures.

In fact using the journalists name and other relevant search parameters a number of articles were listed but the most recent story regarding French involvement in the Niger case would not be found amongst them. It results somewhat strange to say the least that this was the only article where the reader had to somehow imagine the precise title attributed to the journalists story. When asked the FT’s web master confirmed that all links were accessible both nationally and internationally.

A few days later, or for the precision exactly when the article passed into the so called “subscription only section” did all return to normal: access the site, log-on specifying password and launch a search following the usual procedures. According to experts the most valid hypothesis is that “someone” used a program to manipulate the search criteria in such a fashion as to limit, especially in the US, the distribution of Huband’s story.

Another interesting observation and perhaps another clue could well be the simple fact that it has become very difficult to access the forums where the affair is mentioned ..... There is yet another “strange” fact to be taken into consideration: in the UK Mark Hubands’ article appeared in both the on-line and printed editions of the FT while in Italy, and in other countries including the US, the printed edition of 2 August did not include his story. Odd, very odd indeed. Those with a knowledge of these affairs have no doubts: hackers using powerful IT tools were involved. It’s not difficult to imagine under whose orders: the 007’s from Paris.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Once again, this very morning, the sacred concept of freedom of information has been brutally attacked. Yet again the “victim” is an article written by the FT journalist Mark Huband, a somewhat unbelievable coincidence to say the very least.

Anyone trying to access Husbands’ most recent article (“Doubts over war conspiracy claim”) in the Financial times will find themselves staring at a practically blank screen, the page contains a single message: “MAGIC_SERVER_DELETED”.

These 3 words suggest that once again the right to information has been arbitrallily censored for anti-American and anti-Bush political motives specifically in order to avoid any emergence of the truth.

Out of the millions of pages that can be interrogated through the Google search engine only one single result is produced for the “MAGIC_SERVER_DELETED” parameter: Mark Hubands’ “Doubts over war conspiracy claim” page on the FT web site, or more specifically http://news.ft.com/cms/s/9fac8fb4-00fd-11d9-9d96-00000e2511c8.html. At this point the facts are convincing enough.

No attempt has been made to disguise the hackers work this time, the message “PAGE NOT FOUND” would, perhaps, have been less offensive. It would certainly have been, on the part of the French spies, less arrogant.

What conclusion can be drawn from these facts? Very simply that those who stand to loose face through the emergence of the truth have evolved from simple forgery, lies and deceit into censorship, negation of freedom of information and illegal actions of computer hacking.

Help us to disseminate this incredible piece of information. We will forward the obscured Huband article, “Doubts over war conspiracy claim”, very shortly.

Can someone condense this story for me? What's going on with these assertions? I kind of get that some people against Bush planted fake evidence amongst real evidence to make the allies look bad. It's just too hard to follow all the strings on this conspiracy.
