CIA 'INVESTIGATES'? 'TERRORISTS' ATTACK US EMBASSY IN ATHENS...
SOURCE:
An explosive this morning hit the United States embassy in the
Greek capital Athens, with little damage but leaving a lot of
question marks. Nobody got injured. The day and night heavily by
Marines guarded US embassy and all streets surrounding it
normally are impossible to approach.
THE MAN WHO HAS THE ANSWERS AND IS NOT TALKING
by Henk Ruyssenaars - Foreign correspondent
FPF - Europe - Jan. 12th 2007 - The Greek news agency published
about the attack on the US embassy in Athens as follows: A
strong blast was reported shortly before 6 a.m. (4 a.m. GMT) at
the US embassy in central Athens, with Greek authorities now
investigating inside the compound, according to the US
ambassador, Charles P. Ries.* Normally 'local authorities' are
never allowed into an embassy area which is 'extra-territorial'.
What outside US embassy circles now is discussed is the question
how anybody ever could come close enough to the US embassy at
number 91 in the Vasilissis Sophias Avenue? Where for the past
decades Greek special police, US Marines, guns, sniffer dogs and
cameras have guarded the US embassy and the buildings around as
some Fort Knox? Afraid of attacks by Greek and other people who
for decades sincerely have disliked the US policy and what they
have done to their country.
Which with a CIA coup and the Greek 'colonels junta' was turned
into a colony and US/NATO base. It all looks as suspicious as is
possible, since only people connected to the guarded US embassy
can get close. And it can't be blamed on the 'November 17'
(N-17) guerilla because the 'authorities' said they dismantled
it.* But still the people keep saying that Bush is the 'Butcher
of Baghdad' and the USA junta and it's war machine - including
the UN/NATO's troops and mercenaries - represent the real
terrorists. Which is totally correct of course.
The fact that US ambassador and Bush friend Ries after the small
blast confirmed that the attack 'came from the outside' left the
question unanswered how any person even could get close enough
to throw a Molotov cocktail across the 3 meters high fence or
carry around and shoot some kind of missile? "There is no
justification for such an act of violence," Ries said and added
that it was a "very serious" incident." Which may be used to
further restrict what's left of civil liberties in this US
colony with it's for freedom fighting people. [I've visited

THE ANSWERS...
It looks like the 'attack' on the US embassy as usual has been a
'false flag' operation by the US 'special ops forces' to divert
global attention from the lost war in Iraq and the US junta's
preparations to activate another 'false flag' operation to be
able to start a nuclear war with Iran. Never telling the people
they brainwash that Iran is very much bigger in population and
surface.* The Gulf is full of US warships and those of
collaborating countries, waiting for the US orchestrated
'incident' to blind and brainwash people. Like after the 9/11
inside job', another home made 'Pearl Harbor' as US commentator
Roberts writes.*
THE SILENT CIA MAN
The man who has the answers and is not saying anything, is
Thomas Countryman, at present the NSA/CIA liaison in Athens and
as number 2 the 'policy officer' at the US embassy. Countryman
learned most of his CIA tricks in the major CIA institute in the
Arab world, situated in Tunisia in North Africa. As an
independent foreign correspondent I had to know and knew also
people at the US embassy, where I normally was invited during
those years. And also of course by the Palestine Liberation
Organisation (PLO) with the by the Israeli Mossad poisoned
Chairman Yasser Arafat and his doomed cooperators as well.*
Thomas Countryman was in Tunis in 1990/'91 and studied for a
year at the CIA 'spy school' in Sidi Bou Said. He often ate his
lunches at a small restaurant called 'La Bagatelle', on the
other side of the street. I lived in Sidi Bou Said and very
often lunched in 'La Bagatelle' too, in this very picturesque
village on the beaches of the Mediterranean. [Sidi Bou Said Pics

In his official bio at says "From 1988 to 1990, Mr. Countryman
studied Arabic language and culture at the Department's Foreign
Service Institute in Virginia for one year, followed by a year
at the Institute's field school in Tunis." At the embassy in
Athens his function is described as Deputy Chief of Mission.
Meaning he is the man in charge of overall security.
THE CIA TRAINING CENTER
As one of the last foreign correspondents I was declared
'persona non grata' and forced to leave the country in July
1996. A week after I arrived on 7 November 1987, coup general
and president Zine El Abedine Ben Ali, the present military
ruler of Tunisia, with american help took the power from old and
ailing president Habib Bourguiba. The country which is an
american colony, had, and apparently still has, the biggest
secret Middle East 'CIA Arabic training center' in coastal Sidi
Bou Said, 17 kilometers from the capital Tunis. The 'school' is
next door to the US ambassadors residence, and can be seen from
the terrace during receptions. - Url.:

According to Countryman's cv: "He has been Deputy Chief of
Mission at the United States Embassy in Athens, Greece since
September 2005. During Operations Desert Shield and Desert
Storm, he served as the Political-Military Officer at the
American Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. From 1991 to 1993, he was the
senior officer for reporting on political, security, and
religious affairs within Egypt. In 1993 and 1994, Mr. Countryman
worked in the State Department's Office of Counter-Terrorism,
where he helped to achieve passage of a UN Security Council
resolution on bringing to justice the suspects in the bombing of
Pan Am flight 103."

The last sentence again shows that Thomas Countryman is one of
those fishy but mortal CIA characters. Even if Scotland Yard
says that he and his CIA/FBI buddies falsified the evidence in
the Lockerbie trial, which was a shame and mockery concerning
human rights and justice, he 'helped' to bring the patsies to
the Scottish court. Url.:

Apart from the absolutely mad US junta's preparations for an
attack on Iran - and if they still can, later on oil rich and
close Venezuela - there are other protests they want to stop.
Groups in Greece and the rest of Europe have to be silenced
because they decided two weeks ago that coming 9th-11th February
they'll hold an 'International Gathering To Prepare The Protests
Against The G8-Summit 2007' in Warsaw in Poland to discuss the
actions against the G-8 meeting in Germany later this year.
In November last year, Greek riot police fired tear gas to
disperse demonstrators marching to the US embassy in Athens who
chanted slogans including "Bush the butcher, out of Iraq" and
"The USA is the real terrorist". And Washington's junta abhors
their very appropriate slogan: "To those who wants to dominate
the world, the world responds RESISTANCE!"
But, as with a lot of irony can be said, it's good to know that
the investigation is in the hands of qualified people...
Who are specially trained for this kind of things.
By the CIA...
