Iraq & Sadam



Eve Martin told me in passing that she and some members of her family, acting as mercenaries and intelligence operatives on behalf of the British government, spent some time in Iraq, living in the palace of Sadam Hus​s​ein during the early 1990s.​

 She did not say what British intelligence operatives were doing in the headquarters of a nation with whom their country was still technically at war​, and I did not ask. But the implication is that despite the impression given to the world at large, the Western intelligence services had some sort of understanding or arrangement with Sadam.

She did, however, display a very pĆ³sitive attitude toward Sadam
Huss​ein, describing him as "a big Teddy Bear". She seemed to like him. Well, we all know the picture of him and his government painted by the Western media was as false as it could be. And it is not unusual for a strong leader to be both ruthless in his political dealings and charming and charismatic in his personal relationships.

This personal evaluation, so very different to the official narative sold to the public in the West, stands in stark contrast to Eve's evaluation of Osama Bin Ladin, with whom she also was aquainted in the course of her career as an unwilling conscript into the British intelligence community, and whom she hated and considered a psychopath. Clearly, she was not being influenced by any ideological considerations, but by direct observations.

This positive view based on direct, first-hand personal contact, of a man so demonized by the media, taken along with the presense of Western operatives stationed in his headquarters, can only make one wonder how many​ of the other things told us by the official sources ​and the government-controlled media are​ likewise a carefully crafted deception intended to stir up hatred for the officially ​designated​ enemy​ du jour while, in fact, that same officially designated "enemy" is playing a role on the public stage according to the same script and both sides are working together towards some common goal.
