CIA Launches “Counterproliferation Center” as Iran Attack Rhetoric Kicks Into High Gear

As the rhetoric heats up in preparation for an attack on Iran, the CIA has announced it will christen a “counterproliferation center to combat the spread of dangerous weapons and technology, a move that comes as Iran is on the verge of fueling up a new nuclear power plant,” reports the Associated Press.



Obama’s CIA boss, Leon Panetta, said the CIA will formalize a collaboration between its “operators” — presumably the “Dark Side” Cheney talked about so fondly — and its more sedate analysts.

CIA spokesman George Little said the collaboration has already produced results and cited last year’s “revelation” of the “discovery of the Syrian covert nuclear reactor and Iran’s undeclared uranium enrichment facility near Qom.”

In fact, the CIA knew about Iran’s Qom facility more than three years ago, but decided to roll out this “revelation” late last year as the bomb Iran bandwagon began turning its wheels with renewed vigor under a new and (at the time) less tainted president.

Israel claimed it had taken out Syria’s fledgling nuclear program, but this was later exposed as propaganda. “We don’t have any independent intelligence that it was a nuclear facility — only the assertions by the Israelis and some ambiguous satellite photography from them that shows a building, which the Syrians admitted was a military facility,” said one official, wishing to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the subject. As usual, the adjective “anonymous” and the noun “sensitivity” are inextricably linked in government parlance, especially when script-read by the corporate media.

Part of the effort to butt into the business of sovereign nations was the trickery employed by the CIA to interrupt Iran’s nuclear centrifuge operations at Natanz. Paul Brannan, a senior analyst at the Institute for Science and International Security, said the CIA managed to sneak “faulty parts into Iran’s nuclear supply chain.”

Imagine if you will the Iranians interfering in the United States’ nuclear program. Congress would declare war in a less than a fortnight. Or rather, since Congress is not in the business of declaring war as the Constitution states, the all-powerful imperial executive would issue an order calling for an attack.

Brannan, however, was obliged to admit reality. “Brannan said the Bushehr site is not a proliferation threat since Iran does not have the ability to reprocess the spent fuel into nuclear weapons-grade material,” the Associated Press reports.

Not that the CIA is about to issue the Iranians a get out of jail card. “But that site will be watched closely not only by the CIA but by other elements of the intelligence community,” undoubtedly including the neocon-friendly variety determined to start World War III, or as the neocons lovingly call it, World War IV.

At best, the CIA’s “counterproliferation center” is a bad joke. The United States is the only nation on the face of the earth to nuke another country. In regard to proliferating “weapons of mass destruction — nuclear, chemical and biological,” the CIA should take a look at the U.S. Department of Commerce. It licensed 70 biological exports to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq between 1985 and 1989, including at least 21 batches of lethal strains of anthrax.

Transnational corporations figured prominently in this effort — Phillips Petroleum, Unilever, Alcolac, Allied Signal, the American Type Culture Collection, and Teledyne all sold Iraq dual-use chemicals and biological samples for its biological weapons program. During a trial charging Teledyne with violations of the Export Administration Act and the Arms Export Control Act, the corporation said the CIA had authorized the shipments.

As for nukes and rogue nations, let us consider the role of Donald Rumsfeld, the former Secretary of Defense. In 2003, it was revealed that Rumsfeld played a key role in making sure North Korea would get nuclear weapons. Before assuming the role as Master of Death and Destruction (more than a million killed in Iraq alone), Rumsfeld occupied a place high up in the Swiss-based corporation ABB that made a tidy $200 million when it sold North Korea equipment and services for two nuclear power stations at Kumho.

Of course, the CIA’s counterproliferation center is not about preventing corporations and the CIA itself from selling materials destined for weapons of mass destruction. It is about demonizing Iran, Syria, North Korea and other officially declared enemies.

It’s about future wars and the propaganda required to sell the increasingly irrelevant American people those wars.
