Saddams Gay Sex and North Korea ?

[olddutch]

"The CIA considered making a fake video of Saddam Hussein having gay sex with a young man in order to destabilise the tyrant ahead of the Iraq war, reports say. The video would have shown the deposed leader apparently romping with a teenage lad, officials told US media. It was just one of a number of barmy plots thought up to discredit the dictator in the build up to the US 2003 invasion of Iraq.”

Not for the first time, makes you think that the USA could just about pull any underhand stunt to let the World believe that they are justified in attacking another state militarily, economically or diplomatically. Makes you think about the South Korean ship recently torpedoed. North Korea claims it has no submarines - and NK has been on America's list of evil for a good number of years.

Could it be that North Korea has been a victim of such a stunt - or is this just another sloppy conspiracy theory?

I don't know but the film Men Who Stare at Goats is about the CIA and is based on fact - Jon Ronson's book.

If it's true that the CIA is doing this about Saddam Hussein, then it's not nice.

But, I don't believe it, it's all conspiracy and propaganda.

thanks again Jno - found this

"The CIA and September 11 (German: Die CIA und der 11. September) is a controversial 2003 book by Andreas von Bülow, a former state-secretary in the German Federal Ministry of Defence and an SPD member of the German parliament from 1969 to 1994.

book suggests that the 9/11 attacks were self-inflicted: a covert operation aimed at influencing domestic opinion and to persuade Americans to support the invasions of Afghanistan and of Iraq. It is written in a speculative style, laden with terms such as "could", "might", "maybe" and "if", and does not directly accuse the Central Intelligence Agency of direct responsibility for the attacks. It does, however, attempt to demolish the "conventional" account of the 9/11 attacks, and while it does not build up a substantive account to replace it, it leaves insinuations and rumours to suggest possibilities. For instance, while it is argued that such well-organized attacks could only occur with "the support of the intelligence agencies", the exact details of that support are left unspecified. The book suggests that no plane crashed into The Pentagon and none in Pennsylvania on 9/11, and that the alleged mobile phone calls on United Airlines Flight 93 were not real"
