(Fantasy Central, Washington) - On Monday, senior Pentagon officials, speaking before a group of robotic journalists fresh out of the factory of journalism school, shocked the world when they confirmed Internet rumours that Gen. Warwick Shrout, a top Pentagon official, and String Nukert, the serving head of the Central Intelligence Agency, defected to Al-Qaeda.
Shrout and Nukert have not spoken to the media, but in a joint tweet announcement earlier today they said they can control their creation better with a stronger foothold inside of the terrorist organization.
Al-Qaeda is believed to be responsible for the 9/11 attacks and dozens of bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, and worldwide. But these latest developments have thrown doubts on this historical narrative, and the charge of conspiracy theory will not stick this time.
While the news of the high-level defection has generated widespread condemnation across America and around the world, the reaction is more subdued in Washington.
"To be honest, we kind of expected this to happen eventually," one official said. "This is nothing out of the ordinary for us. The only thing different is that the public relations angle of this whole situation has now reached a crisis point. But Shrout and Nukert didn't defect to the enemy camp because the Pentagon, the CIA, and Al-Qaeda are one and the same organization. So the national security of the United States is not damaged by this change in personnel in Al-Qaeda's leadership."
Believe it or not, but Al-Qaeda proteges and Pentagon/CIA chiefs have developed a pretty cozy relationship over the years. The Pentagon's patron-client relationship with Al-Qaeda and prominent Islamist terrorists in the Muslim world is underpinned by common interests and a cold, hard realism, experts say.
Historian and investigator Webster Griffin Tarpley described Al-Qaeda fighters as "CIA guerrillas," back in April 2011 in an article called, "Al Qaeda: Pawns of CIA Insurrection from Libya to Yemen."
But while history contains ample examples of empires that incorporate barbarous militias and mercenaries within its ranks to despoil nations and wage covert war, it is unprecedented for senior imperial military and political officers to embrace them as their own and even lead them in battle.
A senior staffer of the Supranational Shadow Secrecy State provided an explanation of the strange move by Shrout and Nukert to leave the Pentagon and the CIA and join their children at Al-Qaeda. "The leadership of North American Strategic Command in Colorado," he said, "believes the war on terror has advanced to a stage where Pentagon officials no longer need to hide CIA and Mossad terrorist operations behind the fig leaf of Al-Qaeda."
He added: "In their judgment, the fusion between the "transnational homeland security state" and its pet demons in Al-Qaeda and the Muslim world was inevitable. The deaths of Osama Bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki left a leadership vacuum, and they hope to address that by enlisting the visionary leadership of Shrout and Nukert, who were instrumental in the creation of Al-Qaeda in the 80s and 90s."
Senior government officials in Washington stress that the response by the media, citizens, and foreign governments to this event has been drastically overblown and feeds propaganda ammo to America's enemies.
"What's done is done," said a retired Pentagon general, "we can't turn back now, not while our enemies advance against us across the battlefields in the Middle East and East Asia. We should not obsess about our funding and support for Al-Qaeda and random terrorist violence in America and the world. Instead, we should concern ourselves about how to defeat these dangerous groups while preserving our core values and laws at the same time."
The general added that national security interests are imperative and must be observed moving forward in this sensitive period. "We must exercise restraint. It would be wrongheaded and counter-productive to our goals in the Middle East to charge Shrout and Nukert with high treason and throw them under the bus. I believe both men are great patriots, and they will serve America well as the new faces of Al-Qaeda."
International human rights activist James Cooper said the Pentagon's general class are out of steam and fail to recognize the lunacy of their statements in support of Shrout and Nukert.
"Instead of outrage and shame from the U.S. establishment," said Cooper, "we have witnessed an overwhelming propaganda campaign to convince the American people and global public that Al-Qaeda is now the good guy because it's headed by two former top officials in the CIA and Pentagon. That goes against logic as well as everything we've been told since 9/11 by the CIA and Pentagon."
Daniel Ford, a world renowned investigator of the 9/11 attacks and the shadow world, says that Shrout and Nukert are not defecting to Al-Qaeda because it is impossible to defect to an organization that has been under the control of the Pentagon and CIA since the beginning.
Ford said: "My fear is that Shrout and Nukert, as the new American leaders of Al-Qaeda, will be provided a security and media umbrella by the Pentagon and CIA to plot and carry out attacks against the United States. And the crazy thing is that they could only be the tip of the iceberg. My hunch is that more high-ranking military officials within the Pentagon will officially join the monster that they created in Al-Qaeda and global Islamism, and renounce America altogether."
So far, the American public has not reacted with rage against Shrout and Nukert's defections. But that could change with time, especially if Ford is right in his concerns and it turns out that the entire CIA and Pentagon leadership will switch sides to Al-Qaeda and Islamic Jihad, and use Islamist cover to kill Americans.
The most compelling aspect of this story is the honesty of CIA and Pentagon officials, who until this week have never revealed their secret support and admiration for Al-Qaeda and Islamic fundamentalism. Honesty in this case, however, may turn out to be suicidal.
It is suicidal for two reasons. One, the outing of Al-Qaeda's real identity and purpose by the Pentagon and CIA themselves is hard to sweep under the media rug. And two, since the global fight against international terrorism now includes the Pentagon and the CIA, senior Pentagon and CIA leaders are international criminals and fugitives who are in charge of the world's biggest empire.
The new political reality of Al-Qaeda, the CIA, and the Pentagon against the world is triggering a global political realignment.
And in light of these explosive revelations, the image of America's illusory enemies are fading into the fog of confusion and betrayal.
When asked who are America's enemies now by CNN's Snake Jacob Charmer, a spokesman for the Saddam Hussein Osama administration responded: "Anyone who disagrees with anything we do."
In Washington, difficult questions and realities continue to be suppressed by policy makers, as the empire of blindness marches on the path of self-destruction with total confidence. The consensus among the empire's psychopathic geostrategists is that Al-Qaeda must continue to play a fundamental role in the global terror terrain to ensure the survival of their global propaganda empire.
Meanwhile, Al-Qaeda's recruitment has tripled in the last twenty four hours. New recruits are impressed by the American leaders' extensive training in terrorist operations, and counterrevolutionary activity.
"I was skeptical when Osama was the face of Al-Qaeda because he was too skinny and weak to be an imposing figure, but now that a real robust General from America with experience is leading the cause of War and Jihad, I am on board and ready to blow myself up at his call," said a recruit from Libya.
National security analysts believe that Gen. Shrout and CIA Director Nukert can strengthen Al-Qaeda considerably, and improve its capacity to strike American targets and civilian targets all over the world. The threat of global destabilization and chaos that the new and improved Al-Qaeda poses is very real.
George Dwarf, a global investor in the Terrorism Stock Exchange, says the price of terrorism stocks has skyrocketed upon the news that experienced Pentagon and CIA leaders are taking a more active role in the daily operations of Al-Qaeda.
"Frankly, this move is good for the global war business," said Dwarf. "There were so many years when we expected another terrorist event on the scale of 9/11, but, unfortunately, nothing happened. We now know why. The Pentagon and CIA were dropping the ball and letting a handful of amateur Arabs lead the most publicized and feared terrorist organization on Earth. I'm glad they finally came to their senses and taken the reigns. I was getting worried that there wouldn't be any more terrorist attacks and that this great game would be over before it even started."
But not everyone is as excited as Dwarf and other terrorist traders. Travis Nex, a member of the Council of Planetary Relations, says the senior leaders of the Pentagon and CIA have exposed themselves to be the true terrorists and should be regarded as the biggest enemies of humanity. "This is an absolute travesty," said Nex. "How can the CIA and Pentagon justify their actions after pretending for more than a decade that they were fighting a war against Al-Qaeda?"
Nex's question is on the minds of many people these days. But don't expect an answer from Washington anytime soon because they don't have one to give.
