In April of last year Carla and I accepted an invitation from Texans for Peace to be a part of a delegation to Jordan. The purpose of the trip was to meet with a variety of Iraqi refugees and to learn firsthand the difficulties they face. Our delegation also met with non-governmental organizations that provide aid to Iraq.

Carla and I are both RNs, humanitarians and activists.

Ghosts in the Machine: Eric May and Infiltration of the Peace Movement

Captain Eric May of “Ghost Troop” chats with Kay Lucas from the Crawford Peace House.

The anti-war movement is haunted, penetrated by a host of spies, disinfo-artists and Larouchite Jew-haters. You’ve met some of these ghosts already on this site. Ray McGovern. Wayne Madsen. Paul Craig Roberts.

Their agenda is to push neofascist themes among progressives and activists. Partly, this is because they are a bunch of fascists themselves, but also they seek to divide the anti-war movement and discredit many of its leaders and participants.

This spook network also specializes in misdirection, leading activists and organizations to focus on a small subset of the ruling class and not the deeply entrenched military/industrial complex itself or even our capitalist system. Usually, this subset is comprised of Jews, whether called “neocons” or “zionists” or “Israeli fifth columnists”. But it’s not always Jews. Sometimes it’s a shadowy group of Satanists or Illuminati high priests. Sometimes its aliens. Increasingly, in the conspiracy subculture, it’s all of the above.
