Joseph Farah: Neo-Con Cognitive Infiltrator
Tony Cartalucci, Land Destroyer, Oct 20 2012

Joseph Farah himself is directly involved with this political clique, having served upon the US Committee for a Free Lebanon, created specifically to array foreign-backed opposition against the governments of Syria and Iran, as well as Hezbollah and its supporters in Lebanon, all slated for removal by corporate-financier interests, according to US Army General Wesley Clark. Sitting on the committee alongside Joseph Farah was chairman Ziad Abdel Nour, a Lebanese corporate-financier and founder of “Blackhawk Parnters. Ziad Abdel Nour spoke very frankly about the work and agenda he was involved in an interview with Trish Schuh, where he exclaimed:

Both the Syrian and Lebanese regimes will be changed, whether they like it or not, whether it’s going to be a military coup or something else, and we are working on it. We know already exactly who’s going to be the replacements. We’re working on it with the Bush administration. These guys who came to power, who rule by power, can only be removed by power. This is Machiavelli’s power game. That’s how it is. This is how geopolitics, the war games, power games work. I know inside out how it works, because I come from a family of politicians for the last 60 years. Look, I have access to the top classified information from the CIA from all over the world. They call me, I advise them. I know exactly what’s going on. And this will happen. This Bashar al Assad-Emil Lahoud regime is going to go, whether it’s true or not. When we went to Iraq, whether there were weapons of mass destruction or not, the key is: we won. And Saddam is out! Whatever we want, will happen. Iran? We will not let Iran become a nuclear power. We’ll find a way, we’ll find an excuse, to get rid of Iran. And I don’t care what the excuse is. There is no room for rogue states in the world. Whether we lie about it, or invent something, or we don’t, I don’t care. The end justifies the means. What’s right? Might is right, might is right. That’s it. Might is right. So Saddam wanted to prove to the whole world he was strong? Well, we’re stronger: he’s out! He’s finished. And Iran’s going to be finished, and every single Arab regime that’s like this will be finished. Because there is no room for us capitalists and multinationalists in the world to operate with regimes like this. Its all about money. And power. And wealth. And democracy has to be spread around the world. Those who want to espouse globalization are going to make a lot of money, be happy, their families will be happy. And those who aren’t going to play this game are going to be crushed, whether they like it or not!

Joining Joseph Farah and Ziad Abdel Nour on the International Advisory Board of this committee were Morris Amitay of JINSA, Michael Rubin of the AEI, and PNAC signatories Paula Dobriansky (now foreign policy adviser to Mitt Romney), James Woolsey, Frank Gaffney, and Daniel Pipes. There was also Oliveier Guitta, Michael Ledeen, and Clifford May, all of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, who were amongst the most vocal supporters of the military intervention in Libya and currently advocate a similar military intervention aimed at Syria, all made possible by groundwork laid by the US Lebanese Committee for a Free Lebanon. Joseph Farah was also serving alongside Wael Chehab, Founder and CEO of Cedar Capital Management, a New York based hedge fund, and was President of the Arab Bankers Association of North America. And while the name suggests the association should consist of “Arab bankers,” it consisted of an impressive list of decidedly non-Arab corporate-financier interestsincluding Bain Capital, as well as Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Blackstone, Bloomberg, Carlyle, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Dow Jones, Goldman Sachs, ING, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank, and Thomson Reuters. This bankers’ association also included the US-Saudi Business Council,which in turn includes Bechtel, Chevron, Citi (again), Dow, Exxon, GE, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Morgan Stanley (again), Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and many more. There was also Daniel Nassif of the US State Dept propaganda front al-Hurra,  James Phillips of the Heritage Foundation, Jonathan Schanzer of the Jewish Policy Center, and multiple members of the WINEP.

Clearly Mr Farah of World Net Daily was involved in a contact group consisting of the USraeli-Saudi interests that were on record conspiring to provoke a region-wide sectarian war with which to destabilize, overthrow, and replace the governments of Lebanon, Syria, and Iran...
