THE SECRET "OSLO III" PROTOCOLS:
WHAT THE AGREEMENT REALLY INCLUDES
"The CIA would supervise the jailing and disarming of suspected Palestinian
terrorists in a land-for-security deal President Clinton is pressing hard to seal between
Israelis and Palestinians..." Associated Press - Oct 20
MER - Washington - 10/21:
There are many aspects to the current much-hyped Israeli-Arafat follow-on agreement --
Oslo III if you will -- that all have agreed to obscure and hide as much as possible.
Indeed much of the talk at the Wye Plantation has to do with how to package and present a
new deal that manipulates and infiltrates all aspects of Palestinian affairs far more than
ever before. Among the major new steps being taken:
1) The CIA has taken direct responsibility as never before for
Israeli"security". Never before has the role of the CIA Director personally,and
the Agency itself, been more substantial or crucial to any international negotiations. But
then matters relating to Israel often take on very special dimensions and are actually an
adjunct of domestic American affairs in view of the extreme power of the Israeli/Jewish
lobby and the unprecedented number of American Jews promoted by and loyal to Israel in the
Clinton Administration. Bottom Line: In return for the considerable arms, money, and help
provided to the Arafat "Authority" by the three countries -- Israeli, the U.S,
and Jordan -- Arafat has agreed to a substantially increased role for the CIA in the
Palestinian territories. The Israelis and Jordanians love it -- after all King Hussein has
had a very long CIA-connection and was even directly on the payroll for a time. And for
Arafat it means he can hope to put down all opposition through escalating infiltration and
repression.
2) "By-pass" roads will continue to be built, indeed expanded, in manyareas,
throughout the post-1967 occupied territories. And the Americans have promised to find
considerably more funding for this unique approach one way or another. A major demand of
Ariel Sharon, these "by-pass roads" and the settlements they connect will insure
that a truly continguous and real Palestinian State never becomes possible, no matter what
terminology is used and what declarations Arafat makes.
3) In the near civil war that already exists between Hamas and the Arafat
"Authority" the Americans, Israelis, and Jordanians have all pledged whatever
help Arafat should need to infiltrate and cripple Hamas and all other opponents.
4) The Palestinian "airport" and "seaport" will be completely
monitored and searchable at all times by the Israelis, just as has always been the case
with all "border crossings" into Palestinian "autonomy" areas. The CIA
will also help the Israelis with new means of surveillance and intelligence gathering. The
Israelis will follow the policy whenever possible, de facto and de jure, of one-way
mirrors minimizing the visibility of the Israelis in a gesture toward Palestinian public
opinion and Arafat's image. But in all cases, including Arafat's personal plane, Israel
will remain in a position to always determine what and whom enters and exits from
Palestinian areas.
5) What for them are large sums will be made available to Arafat for Palestinian
agents, collaborators, and infiltrators. And considerable money will be made available to
various American and Israeli foundations, organizations, and front-groups to push and
promote the new and expanded "peace process" and undermine all who oppose it.
Overall, there should be no doubt that there are all sorts of new and expanded secret
aspects to what Arafat (with Hussein's strong encouragement and pressure) has now arranged
with the Israelis and the Americans -- including secret escape plans and bank accounts
should things go wrong for Arafat, and he have to make a quick escape along with family
and entourage.
