The photograph of the Bible-quote to the right – is of the marble wall in the front lobby of the CIA headquarters in Langley, Fairfax County, Virginia, in the USA. Their use of the Christian Bible well expresses this organisation's long term moral hypocrisy, which should be at least an embarrassment to any nation which regards itself as having any semblance of Christianity. The full quote below shows the manner in which the CIA has taken Christ's words and twisted His meaning. Jesus said:

“If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth [about Jesus], and the truth shall make you free.”

But if the inspired words of Christ Himself have been so flagrantly twisted in this way, it should not surprise the thinking person that other misrepresentations by this organisation would follow.

The United States of America's Central Intelligence Agency was originally formed during World War II under the name Office of Strategic Services to coordinate espionage activities. In 1947 the US National Security Act formally established the CIA, affording it – 'no police or law enforcement functions, either at home [USA] or abroad'.

However, the CIA's foreign paramilitary activity is quite widely known, including its abduction and torture practices known as 'rendition'. But a less well known example of this corrupting effect of the CIA in our present world situation is Iran.

Tragically for Iran, and for the whole Middle East in its backlash: the CIA's (Eisenhower approved operation TPAJAX) financing and orchestrating of the 1953 overthrow of Iran's democratically elected government, so that they could install the Shah to secure American oil interests and so not let it slip into the Soviet camp, led directly to the eventual creation of the present day anti-West Islamic republic which continues to fuel terrorism in the Middle East against Western interests. (For a perspective see Smithsonian Magazine's 2008 article by Stephen Kinzer).

In the fighting in Teheran, 300 people were killed before Iran's democratic forces were defeated by the Shah’s CIA supported forces. A US general later testified that “the guns they had in their hands, the trucks they rode in, the armoured cars that they drove through the streets, and the radio communications that permitted their control, were all furnished through the [US] military defence assistance program”.

This arrogantly subversive hypocrisy of the CIA was not an isolated incident.

During the international arms embargo against South Africa, officially implemented by the United States –

March 8: In West Beirut - United States car-bombing of the mosque (specially authorized by CIA Director William Casey) at the close of Friday prayers to kill Shi'ite cleric Sheikh Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah (who still escaped), which killed 80 people and wounded 256 others. Most of the dead were girls and women, who had been leaving the mosque, though the ferocity of the blast "burned babies in their beds," "killed a bride buying her trousseau," and "blew away three children as they walked home from the mosque" and "devastated the main street of the densely populated" suburb (source: Nora Boustany, Washington Post 1988).

May: The Clinton Administration temporarily suspends the CIA aircraft shootdown drug-war over Columbia and Peru after the Departments of Justice and State, as well as the Pentagon, say that the United States might be in violation of treaties on international aviation safety and that the shooting down of an innocent civilian plane could result in wrongful death suits being brought against the United States and its contractors. Congress therefore adopts legislation exempting U.S. government officials and contractors from any liability resulting from the killing of innocent air travelers. See 2001.

the Peruvian Air Force shoots down a civilian plane (registered to the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism) without warning after receiving erroneous information from the CIA that the plane was trafficking in narcotics. It wasn't. It was filled with Christian missionaries. The missionary plane was vectored for an attack intercept by a radar-equipped U.S. military Cessna Citation surveillance plane operated by a CIA contractor, Aviation Development Corp., which is located at the Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama. See 2008.

April: Mohamed, an Ethiopian national and British resident, is arrested in Pakistan, flown to Morocco on a CIA plane and held for 18 months, during which he is repeatedly tortured, including having his penis cut with a knife. (Morocco denies holding him. He is transferred to Afghanistan in 2004 and later moved to Guantanamo Bay, U.S. authorities have admitted. He was never charged and returned to Britain in February 2009).

March 27: The CIA fly Abu Zubaydah, Abd al-Nashiri, Ramzi Binalshibh and Mustafa al-Hawsawi out of the US Navy Guantanamo Bay 'Strawberry Fields' detention center to various foreign prisons ('black sites') to avoid them having access to any legal representation.
The CIA begins operating hellfire missile equipped drones (MQ-1 Predator) out of Shamsi airfield in Pakistan to attack militants in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
December: The US Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act takes away some government and intelligence community functions that had previously been the CIA's responsibility.

The CIA inspector general reveals that the CIA had lied to Congress about the accidental shoot down of American missionaries over Peru in 2001. The CIA's general counsel had advised agency managers not to write anything down in an effort to avoid criminal charges being brought against CIA officers.

July 9: Congress Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., a House Intelligence subcommittee chairwoman, who chairs the Intelligence subcommittee on oversight and investigations, writes to Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas (chairman of the House Intelligence Committee) that the CIA's lying was systematic and inexcusable. Schakowsky informed that Reyes indicated the committee would conduct a probe into whether the CIA violated the National Security Act, which requires, with rare exceptions, that Congress be informed of its covert activities.
Schakowsky said this is the fourth time that she knows of that the CIA has misled Congress or not informed it in a timely manner, as required by law, since she began serving on the Intelligence Committee two and half years ago.

September 18: Seven former heads of the CIA (Michael Hayden, Porter Goss, George Tenet, John Deutch, James Woolsey, William Webster, and James Schlesinger) write to President Barack Obama urging him to end the Justice Department probe into allegations of abuse (torture) of prisoners held by the agency.

November 4: In Italy – Judge Oscar Magi sentences Robert Seldon Lady (retired, CIA Milan station chief at the time) to an eight-year prison term in absentia, and another 22 Americans (including a US air force Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph L. Romano* commander of the 31st Security Police Squadron at the Aviano Air Base at the time) to five years in prison, for the 2003 abduction of Muslim cleric Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr (Abu Omar) in Milan and sending him via US base in Ramstein, Germany, to Egypt where he was allegedly tortured on behalf of the CIA, held for years and released without charge. The court also ruled that those convicted must pay 1m euros ($1.5m) in damages to Abu Omar and 500,000 euros to his wife. CIA spokesman George Little in Washington declined to comment on the convictions. Lady's Italian retirement villa has been seized by magistrates to cover court costs.
The following indicted persons are now subject to arrest in Europe and other jurisdictions of Interpol, many of whom work in US State Department positions at U.S. embassies and your assistance to this end would be appreciated –
Monica Courtney ADLER; Drew Carlyle CHANNING; John Kevin DUFFIN; Raymond Michael HARBAUGH; James Thomas HARBISON; Ben Amar HARTY; Anne Linda JENKINS; James Robert KIRKLAND; Cynthia Dame LOGAN; Gregory ASHERLEIGH; Lorenzo Gabriel CARRERA; Eliana CASTALDO; Victor CASTELLANO; Vincent FALDO; John Thomas GURLEY; Brenda Liliana IBANEZ; Robert Seldon LADY (Leader of this rendition, now retired from the CIA and living in Florida or New York City) Betnie MEDERO; L. George PURVIS; Pilar RUEDA; Joseph SOFIN; Michalis VASILOU.

The United States Government's official response to this Italian court verdict: "The United States is disappointed" (concerning the verdict, not concerning the crimes of its agents).

February: In Poland – Official flight records obtained by rights groups confirm that at least six CIA rendition flights landed in Poland in 2003 and reveal details of a cover-up by U.S. and Polish authorities. The Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) provided the flight logs in response to a freedom of information request filed by the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights in collaboration with the Open Society Justice Initiative. The disclosure marks the first time a Polish government agency has confirmed, on the record, that aircraft associated with the CIA landed repeatedly at Szymany Airport, close to a suspected CIA secret detention and interrogation site for "high-value detainees" in northern Poland. In the past, the Polish government had denied its involvement in rendition. It failed to provide any of these flight records to previous investigations conducted by the European Parliament and the Council of Europe.
March: In Ireland – The 10-year US visa of Dr. Edward Horgan of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe is revoked to prevent him speaking on extraordinary rendition at a Duke University conference in North Carolina. Dr Horgan is co-founder of ShannonWatch, which has documented the use of Ireland’s Shannon Airport in the CIA kidnapping practice known as “extraordinary rendition”. Dr Horgan is a former UN peacekeeper who also served in the Irish military.
August 27: In the US – The Washington Post newspaper reports from a former CIA official that the CIA continues to bribe officials in the Afghan government for information. The Afghan President's bother, Ahmad Wali Karzai, a businessman and political power broker in Kandahar has been widely accused of amassing a vast fortune from the illicit drug trade, intimidating rivals and having links to the CIA.

OR
IN GOD
WE TRUST

many pro-Israel (Zionist) Christian preachers quote that God will bless those who bless/support the State of Israel and curse those who curse the State of Israel (perverting the intent of Holy Scripture). But across the world today, a new kind of terrorism kills the innocent and drains national economies which did not exist before the State of Israel existed. Islamic terrorism exists today in direct response to the West's support for the State of Israel.

So, either, God is unfaithful to His Word, or God thinks otherwise than the pro-Israel preachers. The tragedy of 9/11 and every other atrocity at home or overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere, is part of the West reaping the results of what it has sowed in its unconditional support of a State which, from its beginning, identified itself in racist (Jewish) terms, and in disregard of the nationhood of more than 20% of its non-Jewish citizens, apart from its basic disregard of non-Jewish human dignity in its collective punishment practices, and continuing violation of Palestinian rights.

God's judgment on the West for its continuing support of the racist State of Israel is more than morally justified, and every Christian is therefore without excuse for not recognising it, for it was clearly stated in the Bible concerning the impartial Judge of All –
