The United States may stage fake terrorist attacks in order to bolster support for the “War on Terror,” according to former CIA intelligence analyst Ray McGovern.

McGovern spoke Monday on the Alex Jones radio show.

“Well it does seem that those who have his (Bush’s) ear are hell bent on giving away or providing wider responsibilities to our military. Witness what they are talking about now with giving the military primary responsibility for catastrophes, for hurricanes and so forth. Our military has been built up as an instrument of power but has never existed with this kind of potency before, and so we all need to look at this because there are laws against using the military in law enforcement capacities and we need to get to our Congressmen and Senators and say ‘look enough of this stuff.’”

McGovern then moved on to talk about terrorism and the fact that if there was another major attack in the US, it would mean a martial law state (according to General Tommy Franks) and a breakdown in our freedoms.

He amazingly went on to suggest that if another attack took place we should not accept what the government tells us because it could be them carrying out the terror.

“We have to be careful, if somebody does this kind of provocation, big violent explosions of some kind, we have to not take the word of the masters there in Washington that this was some terrorist event because it could well be a provocation allowing them, or seemingly to allow them to get what they want.”

McGovern said he would not put it past the Government to “play fast and loose” with terror alerts and warnings and even events themselves in order to rally people behind the flag. — Infowars.com

Before I published this story, I had to consider the source. Who’s Ray McGovern and is he credible?

McGovern, as it turns out, worked for the CIA for 27 years. He served under Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, preparing the Presidential Daily Briefing, the daily classified CIA intelligence report. He retired from the CIA with honors, and he seems to be credible enough. He founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, in order to “speak out on the use of U.S. intelligence to justify the war” in Iraq.
