The paper analizes how clandestine organizations based in the US, Europe and Soviet Union / Russia have historically maneuvered amongst themselves to gain the most strategic advantage in having access to and exploiting ET technology hidden in Iraq.

The paper argues that the need for a diplomatic solution to the recent international crisis over Iraq, resulted from the desire of clandestine groups in Europe and Russia, to restrict access to these sites by US organizations that have grown rapidly in power and displayed an imperialistic tendency that leads to much anxiety among their European counterparts.

The paper furthermore claims that the planet is experiencing the use of 'exotic weaponry' between clandestine groups struggling amongst themselves over how to share access and control of ET technology in Iraq, while suppressing the true nature of the conflict to the general public and most elected officials.

The paper also argues that an eventual post-war agreement to rebuild Iraq under an UN mandate will mark a new phase in the efforts of clandestine organizations to coordinate their efforts in exploiting Iraq's ET  Heritage.

In his groundbreaking translations, Sitchin described with great scholarly precision, the technological wonders and knowledge of the ancient civilization of Sumeria.

What made his work controversial was that he claimed that the Sumerians were aided in starting their civilization by an advanced race of beings called the Anunnaki (Sumerian for 'those who came from Heaven to Earth').

He described technological wonders possessed by the Anunnaki, and described a factional war between the Anunnaki who finally departed the planet around 1700 BC. Furthermore, Sitchin described the home world of these beings as a mysterious planet that periodically returns to the vicinity of the solar system every 3,600 years.

Sitchin's  translations, when combined  with  biblical  and  historical records.........  supporting  the  existence of  ET  races  in human affairs, made  clear........ the  important  role...... by  this  ancient  ET race in  the genesis  of  humanity. 

Sitchin's  translations  proved  to  be  very  controversial  and mainstream  archeologists  dismissed  the  work...... as  too speculative in  its  definitions, premises  and  conclusions.

However, there  were  very  influential,  clandestine organizations....... that  took  Sitchin's  work.........  much  more seriously.

Ever since at least 1947, US based clandestine organizations have been engaged in the reverse engineering of downed ET spacecraft, and communicating with different ET races. ………

The most prominent of these organizations was associated with a secret project named Majestic that was created by President Truman in a classified memo he signed in 1947 wherein he wrote: "Hereafter this matter shall be referred to only as Operation Majestic Twelve."

Majestic initially comprised 12 members drawn primarily from the defense and intelligence community. Over time, clandestine organizations grew rapidly due to the complexity and size of the ET presence, and they remained a public secret, with their existence and composition………. revealed neither to the general public, nor to most elected public officials.

The technology possessed by the Grays was far advanced to anything possessed by humanity, and efforts began immediately to learn about and reverse engineer this technology.

The content of Sitchin's work describing an ancient ET race would most certainly have aroused the curiosity of these clandestine organizations in the US and elsewhere.

The possibility that the Anunnaki, described by Sitchin, had attained a level of technological sophistication even more advanced than that attained by Grays……….. was something that had to be seriously explored.

Certainly the giant physical bodies possessed by this ancient race of ET's - the Anunnaki - suggested they had reached an evolutionary level in biological terms that was more evolved than the Grays who appeared to be suffering genetic problems.

If the technological accomplishments of the Anunnaki matched their biological evolution, then the Anunnaki would have technology far surpassing anything currently possessed by any of the clandestine organizations around the planet created to study and reverse engineer ET technology.

Even more perplexing for clandestine organizations, was the idea that this advanced race could one day return to the Earth and again interact with humanity as they did in the remote past.

The idea that the Anunnaki's home world periodically returned to the Solar System would most surely have attracted attention in terms of any possible time line and what this meant for humanity.

One way of confirming Sitchin's hypotheses would have been to use the recently pioneered 'remote viewing programs' that had been secreted sponsored in the early 1970's by a number of US government and military intelligence agencies.

It is likely that these and other intelligence gathering efforts confirmed the validity of some………… if not most of Sitchin's hypotheses. If so, then there would have been tremendous foreign policy implications……..

U.S. and European clandestine organizations would undoubtedly have made it a top priority to gain access to these ancient ET sites in Southern Iraq……….. to learn about the advanced technology used by the Anunnaki.

Furthermore, they would have been interested in learning more about the purported home world of the Anunnaki in case it did indeed return to the vicinity of the solar system in the near future.

The problem, however, was that at the time Sitchin's first book appeared, the Cold War still existed and Iraq was firmly in the Soviet sphere of influence. After a left wing coup in 1958 that deposed the Western leaning King, Iraq nationalized its oil industries and moved firmly in the Soviet camp.

In 1968, the radical socialist Ba'ath Party came to power and increased ties with the Soviet Union developing a socialist system that was secular and dependent on Warsaw Pact countries. The Soviet Union (now Russia) would undoubtedly have known about Sitchin's work…….. and would already have been working to confirm if Sitchin's hypotheses were true.

The Soviet Union had a powerful political advantage in gaining access to these ET sites if and when they were found, and exploiting whatever technology lay within.

With the un-likelihood that Iraq would cooperate with US / European clandestine organizations in gaining access to these ancient ET sites, clandestine organizations in the US and Europe had a disturbing policy dilemma confronting them. If the international status quo remained, then at some point the Soviet Union might find these ET sites, and reverse engineer whatever technology existed……… and thereby eradicate whatever technological advantages the West might hold.

Given the above scenario, it would have been scarcely imaginable that US and European clandestine organizations wouldn't have developed a top secret set of foreign policy goals whose aim it was to bring about US / European access to Iraq's buried ET technology.

US and European based clandestine organizations have since at least the end of the Second World War coordinated among themselves a joint policy in gaining access to and reverse engineering ET technology found around the planet.

The most prominent international forum is undoubtedly the Bilderberg group which holds closed meetings on an annual basis. These meetings provide the opportunity for the leading industrialists, politicians, media magnates and military figures from different Western nations to meet and coordinate policies that have global significance ranging from financial and economic policy, to orchestrating political events in order to bring about favorable international conditions for their various agendas.

Less well known is that the Bilderberg group has played a key role in ensuring global non-disclosure of the ET presence, and to discredit individuals and organizations attempting to reveal the true extent of ET intervention in human affairs.

In this way, it has been accurately reported that clandestine organizations have long been able to orchestrate international crises to bring about political conditions that fulfill their foreign policy goals.

The success of the secret foreign policy goals of U.S. / European clandestine organizations, in gaining access to Iraq's ET heritage and preparing for a possible return of the Anunnaki, lay in promoting international conditions that would allow U.S. / Europe to gain unfettered access to Iraq without provoking Soviet intervention and a full scale crisis in the midst of the Cold War.

The way in which this could be done would be to promote a series of regional crises that would compel Iraq's staunchly secular socialist regime to take military advantage of these crises.

The ultimate result would be that Iraq would become increasingly dependent on Western nations, and veer away from its alliance and dependence on the Soviet Union which would be distracted by its own regional crises.

The solution to the US / European policy dilemma was to sponsor upheaval in Iraq's main rival and regional powerhouse, Iran, that would inevitably force Iraq into a military confrontation with its more powerful neighbor, and thereby create opportunities for greater US and European influence in Iraq.

The primary focus of this secret agenda was that the Shah of Iran would be toppled, and replaced by a fundamentalist Islamic regime that would create havoc and uncertainty in the Persian Gulf region.

The success of this radical plan…….. rested in a two-fold strategy, of first withdrawing the traditional support of the U.S. for the Shah of Iran who maintained a tight hold on political power through his powerful security forces; and second, fomenting an Islamic revolution……… by allowing a leading Iranian cleric in exile, to produce revolutionary literature for export into Iran.

This first part of this dual strategy was made possible by the Carter administration…….. which had begun advocating human rights……. as an important foreign policy principle for the U.S., in dealing with its global allies…. soon after coming into office in January 1977.

The second part of this dual strategy, was for France to give asylum in October 1978 to an exiled Islamic cleric, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who would be given free rein to play a destabilizing role…….. by advocating a radical Islamic State in Iran……… and undermining attempts to create a liberal secular state, by moderate Iranian reformers.

France agreed to give asylum to Khomeini, after he was expelled from Najaf, Iraq by the Iraqi regime that was under pressure from Iran……… to silence the outspoken cleric.

The role of France, in allowing Khomeini to enter France and use it as a base to produce a series of fiery tapes and written pamphlets denouncing the Shah's regime…… proved critical in sparking Islamic fervor…………. and undermining efforts by moderate political reformers, for a secular liberal government, under the Shah.

This success of this clandestine dual-pronged strategy………. ultimately led to the collapse of the Shah's regime, who had to flee from Iran on January 16, 1979.

Efforts by moderate Iranian reformers, to bring about a modern liberal state……… were doomed by France's decision to allow Ayatollah Khomeini………. to return to Iran…. in this critical period.

Three days after the Shah's departure, Ayatollah Khomeini triumphantly flew from France……….. to millions of admiring supporters in Iran……….. to announce the formation of a new government, and formally begin the Iranian revolution.

The Shah of Iran had been 'sacrificed' and liberal Iranian reformers 'betrayed' so a series of regional crises in the Persian Gulf could be orchestrated by US / European clandestine organizations, that would allow them to gain a strategic foothold in Iraq.

The impact of the Iranian revolution in regional terms………… was ominous for the 'Sunni' dominated regimes, that surrounded the Islamic Republic……. dominated by the 'Shiites' of Iran. For the ‘Sunni’ dominated Socialist regime of Iraq, (Iraqi President Al-Bakr), was forced to resign on July 16, 1979, and was succeeded by his powerful Vice-President, Saddam Hussein.

The Islamic revolution was a looming threat to the territorial integrity of Iraq…….. and even the survival of its socialist regime. Iraq was the most developed society in the Arab…….. world with high per capita indices in health, education, and public services.

Furthermore, Iran's Islamic State was an ideological rival to the Ba'ath socialist system……. then existing in Iraq. Saddam Hussein instinctively understood the threat posed by revolutionary Iran to Iraq, and decided to act while the Islamic regime was still in its infancy, and Iran was preoccupied……. by consolidating its regime.

More importantly for Saddam, the Iranian military had been decimated by the Revolution, with its most senior and skilled personnel………. either escaping the new regime, or being purged by the new Iranian authorities. The mighty Iranian military, which only a short time earlier…….. was the most powerful in the region, suddenly was having difficulty finding enough trained pilots and spare parts, for its advanced fleets of US supplied aircraft.

Western states, along with wealthy Arab states, began to support Saddam's regime with technology, finances and secret armaments.

The Soviet Union, preoccupied by its own military difficulties………. in countering an Islamic revolution in Afghanistan……… was not able to provide sufficient resources to help Iraq in its war.

The end of the long Iran-Iraq war in 1988 occurred almost simultaneously with a rapidly transforming global political climate. Eastern bloc countries belonging to the Warsaw Pact were beginning to collapse and the mighty Soviet Union was also in the initial stages of its eventual disintegration, into 15 independent republics.

With the Soviet Union / Russia, rapidly losing global influence, Western states gained greater prominence in Iraq. This was especially true for France and Germany, both of which played important roles in directly financing and aiding Iraq in its long war with Iran.

Significantly, France had played a direct role in supporting the construction of nuclear facilities in Osirak, which were bombed by the Israeli air force in 1981. Iraq could count on France and Germany, to take up any slack……. caused by the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

France, Germany and the Soviet Union / Russia, would also have contributed to Iraq's construction of a sophisticated network of underground tunnels and bunkers that was used by the Iraqi leadership. These elaborate constructions occurred soon after Saddam's elevation to power…….. and would have been motivated both by the threat posed by Iranian missile attack, and Saddam's awareness that Iraq's ancient (ET) heritage, much of which lay buried, was the key to his own grandiose plans for regional dominance.

It is very likely that at some point in the construction of these underground constructions throughout Iraq, evidence of Iraq's extraterrestrial civilization was first encountered.

The complex task of studying and eventually "reverse engineering" these ET assets would have begun…….. These initial efforts, however, would have been limited by the contingencies…… of the Iran-Iraq war.

The highly advanced nature of these technologies, and Iraq's effort to extract maximum concessions…….. from Soviet / Russian and European efforts to study and exploit this technology.

It is worth emphasizing…….. that the countries that actively assisted Iraq in this construction process…….. were those that were most insistent of a diplomatic solution to the recent crisis: Russia, France and Germany.

Despite its tacit support for Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war, the United States had a distinct disadvantage to its European partners / rivals in gaining access to Iraq's ancient ET sites……. who had a longer history in assisting Iraq's socialist regime.

The Iraq socialist system, its history of human rights abuses, the brutal policies of Saddam…….. that included assassinating his rivals and using chemical weapons on Iraq's Kurdish minorities, Iraq's strong links with the Soviet Union, and strong opposition to the state of Israel, made it difficult for the US to formally improve its relationship with Iraq's regime.

The US Congress, like most institutions comprising elected government representatives, was simply unaware of the need for US foreign policy…….. to have a cooperative relationship with Saddam's regime, in order to exploit the latter's ET assets.

Congress would have revolted at any attempt to openly assist what appeared to be a brutal regime run by a despotic ruler. This meant that US based clandestine organizations had to 'orchestrate' International events………. in a way that would fulfill the secret policy goal……… of gaining unfettered access to Iraq's ET heritage.

Under the first President Bush, Iraq and Kuwait, became engaged in a diplomatic crisis over the overproduction of oil by Kuwait in 1991. Kuwait's overproduction meant that world oil prices were deflated and Iraq's oil production would not be sufficient to generate the necessary revenue for Iraq to begin the difficult reconstruction process after its costly war with Iran.

This resulted in making Iraq more dependent on Western states and clandestine organizations, a result that Saddam would not have been pleased with……. given his undoubted awareness…….. that financial independence, would give him maximum negotiating power………. over whom he allowed to exploit the ET resources on his territory.

Even more vexing to the regime of Saddam Hussein, Kuwait was demanding repayment of the war loans it had given to Iraq during the eight year Iraq-Iran war. For Saddam, this was the ultimate affront given that Iraq had fought a war that directly benefited Kuwait , and the other "Sunni" dominated states in the Persian Gulf.

As far as Saddam was concerned, Kuwait should have shown more gratitude for the sacrifice in financial and human resources undergone by Iraq……… in its debilitating war with Iran. It is very unlikely that Kuwait would have taken such a risky policy, in dealing with its powerful neighbor……… had it not been for firm assurances by its main sponsor and historical patron, Britain, that Kuwait would not be abandoned in a conflict with Iraq.

Iraq's long-standing grudge against Britain's sponsorship of Kuwait went back to 1899, when Britain took Kuwait "under its protection." The problem was that Kuwait was then a part of Iraq's Basra district, that was ruled by the crumbling Ottoman Empire.

When Iraq became independent in 1932, Basra, the newly independent country's main seaport, no longer included Kuwait. So Iraq felt cheated of both the unfettered ocean access and wealth……… that the territory of Kuwait offered.

So odious was this British policy for Iraq's political elites……… that ever since its independence, Iraq's leaders have refused to recognize the sovereign statehood of Kuwait, and continued to call for its reintegration into Iraq.

In raising its oil production, calling for repayment of its war loans, and its dubious political legitimacy in the eyes of Iraq's political elite, Kuwait was undoubtedly acting in a risky and antagonistic way.

In forcing a change in Kuwait's 'antagonistic' policies, Iraq decided to adopt some brinkmanship and massed a large army on its border with Kuwait. At this critical point, where Iraq was indicating its intent to possibly invade Kuwait……. if it did not change its policies, the US Ambassador to Iraq made what appeared to be a 'crucial error'………

In advising Iraq about what the US view was, about the simmering Iraq / Kuwait dispute, she said the following:

In  the  present  political  climate,  where  the  Bush  administration appears  intent on a unilateral foreign policy, supported by a small number  of  loyal  allies, there is  likelihood  of  increased  global conflict……… given  the  threat..... posed  by  US  clandestine organizations........ gaining  a  strategic  advantage over  their European / Russian  rivals.

If  predictions…….. that  the  home  world, (Planet  Nibiru), of  the  advanced  race  of  Ets, (the  Anunnaki), described  by Sitchin………. is  soon  to  reappear........ are  accurate, this  may help  explain  the  intensified  conflict  between  US  and  European / Russian......... clandestine  organizations  that  currently  exists.
