Fear mongering, dismissing, and pleading ignorance; these are commonplace tactics used by propagandists of the fascist era. Former U.S. Department of Treasury intelligence analyst Jonathan Schazner is one such individual of the Goebbelian school of thought. He currently holds the title of Director of Policy at the Jewish Policy Center (J.P.C.) in Washington, DC. As a representative of the J.P.C., Schazner recently visited Temple University in Philadelphia for a speaking engagement about “Financing Terrorism.” Apparently he was unaware that his commission to come and speak at the university was a hypocritical violation of the subject of the discussion.
Schazner’s oration was short, only about thirty minutes in length however he was rapacious in his hammering of imminent threat posed by Iran. He illustrated an elaborate underground effort by Hamas and Hezbollah to destroy Israel citing that “missiles” were hidden in the basements of “nursery schools.” He employed the same line invoked by Alan Dershowitz, quoting that Hamas and Hezbollah believe in the Hadith which says, “…the Jews will hide behind the rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, this is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!”
After Schazner instilled enough fear to seize the courage of even the most valiant of hearts, a question and answer session was opened up. Philly 9/11 Truth members promptly challenged the mythical paradigms that Schanzer constructed over his thirty minutes of unfettered inculcation. 9/11 of course being the prime issue of concern was naturally the subject of the first inquiry. Since Schanzer was a former intelligence analyst who dealt with tracking terrorism financing there was nothing more apropos than the $100,000 wire transfer to Muhammad Atta which was traced by the FBI’s counterterrorism division to Lt General Mahmud Ahmad of the Pakistani ISI. The ISI has historically been a conduit for CIA financing of dissident groups however Schazner asserted that there is “no way in hell” that the U.S. “advertently or inadvertently” funded the 9/11 attacks. Next, he was challenged about the CIA’s funding of radical groups in Iran. He claimed ignorance of the subject, but agreed that it was possible and bizarrely stated that he “wouldn’t be surprised if similar groups were in the United States.” For the grand finale he was confronted about the role of the CIA in the overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran. He responded with cold justification of the actions perpetrated by the CIA claiming them as a defensive maneuver against a threatening communist dictator. Even though Schanzer was immediately reprimanded for his disingenuous diagnosis of Prime Minister Mossadegh who was in reality a pro-Western democratically elected official, he quieted the dissent by ending the session. Afterward he was approached for an interview concerning the financing of 9/11 but insisted that he could not speak on the subject due to the classified nature of his previous dealings with the U.S. Department of Treasury.
