By Don NicoloffNovember 16, 2009KILLEEN, TX — On November 5, 2009, a crazed gunman went on a shooting rampage at Ft. Hood, the largest army base in the U.S., leaving 12 dead and 31 wounded U.S. Army personnel in his wake. Initial mainstream media reports first pinned the shootings on "five," then "three" assailants. By day's end, the MSM had whittled their list of unnamed suspects down to one: Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist alleged to have been selected for deployment to Afghanistan.Initial reports were in stark contrast to amended updates, first, by the hour, then by the minute. One shooter was proclaimed to have been killed and another wounded before escaping. "Major Hasan stormed into the base processing center wielding a 9-mm pistol and a .45 caliber handgun, shooting at everyone in sight" until he was subdued by base security officers.Described as a 'crack marksman', Major Hasan entered the processing center, emptied his two handguns, reloaded, and continued firing upon dozens of fleeing, unarmed victims. Hasan was shot in the crossfire, initially pronounced dead, but later "in stable condition,""critical condition,""in a coma," and finally, "resting comfortably while recovering from four gunshot wounds." On Friday, the 13th of November, Hasan was officially charged for the murder of 13 victims and 30 wounded, the list reflecting one additional death.Contrary to media reports and press conferences conducted by base commander Lt. General Robert W. Cone, there were multiple accounts of "automatic weapons fire" heard by base personnel attending a graduation ceremony, by soldiers living in the barracks, theater employees, and by other base employees. In fact, there were at least three separate incidents occurring on the base, according to independent reports made by witnesses outside of the MSM.One such report described two soldiers who were slated to be deployed in Afghanistan being counseled by Major Hasan within their quarters at the base barracks, not in the processing center. The two soldiers had declared that attempts to force them into deployment "would be met with force." It was alleged by those witnesses that Hasan, a practicing Muslim, was blamed for the incident in order to quash rumors of insubordination and low morale among vociferous Army personnel against the war in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Middle East.If this assessment is true, then it is apparent that Major Hasan's Palestinian heritage, along with his Muslim faith, became the major foundation for a military/media coverup of immense proportions. The public's reaction to the 'facts' indicates that the cover story has, so far, met with a modicum of success. However, a precursory examination of Major Nidal Malik Hasan's background and medical qualifications paints an entirely different picture. The Pentagon would certainly have taken those facts into consideration prior to promoting him to the status of 'Major', an unlikely promotion, unless his mission was other than that revealed through public records.An independent investigation by The I/O reveals discrepancies in the aforementioned timelines, along with numerous aliases that dispute both the factual and chronological bases of the official story. We will attempt to indicate and elucidate facts which have either been exaggerated or obfuscated, in order to conceal Major Hasan's covert role in the Pentagon's MK-Ultra Mind Control program. It should then become clear to the reader that the Ft. Hood shootings were likely a diversionary tactic intended to misdirect attention away from another covert operation occurring simultaneously on the base. We will also reveal the covert operation which, in the minds of the perpetrators of that event, necessitated such a diversion.Major Nidal Malik Hasan's Palestinian rootsAccording to the 'official' background investigation conducted by two consultants, the Northeast Intelligence Network and Canada Free Press, who appear, by implication, to have been subcontracted by the Department of Homeland Security, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's parents were Malik Awakallah Hasan, 52 (August 7, 1946 - April 16, 1998) and Hanan Ismail (Nora) Hasan, 49 (January 15, 1952 - May 30, 2001). Both were young immigrants from Palestine who succeeded in business, owning the Capitol Restaurant, the Mount Olive Grill and Bar, and the Community Grocery Store on Elm Avenue in Roanoke, VA. Malik emigrated at age 16 and Nora, his wife, "as a young girl." Mrs. Hasan "followed her husband to Roanoke in 1986," one year after his arrival there. [Obituary: The Roanoke Times, VA, April 18, 1998 and Obituary: The Roanoke Times, May 31, 2001.] Background checks on Malik Awakallah Hasan and Hanan Ismail (Nora) Hasan reveal quite a different story. Both have used aliases, a fact which leads directly to associations within and outside of U.S./international intelligence communities. What we are not told in their respective obituaries is why there was a separation of at least one year when Malik went to Roanoke, VA in 1985 to begin his career as a restauranteur/grocer. And though Malik developed the restaurants and grocery store without the aid of Hasan, she is credited as having been the driving force behind their success.How Malik Awakallah Hasan financed the purchases of three food outlets is unknown, especially when virtually no information about his education and prior vocation(s) is available. Though "he died in 1998," virtually no official death record for a "Malik Awakallah Hasan" exists worldwide. Death records are also suspiciously absent for "Hanan Ismail (Nora) Hasan." Neither Malik nor Hanan had Social Security numbers, so one could rightfully conclude that their names were aliases. Other than obituary references, the couple's lives seemed to materialize and then dematerialize into the same thin air. However, their aliases would tell a different story.The Hasan family's home at 666 Ramada Rd., Vinton, VA was a few miles east of Roanoke, the location of the family's food businesses. The house was sold to Alma Jerkovic, who purchased it "ten years ago." Further to the west lies Blacksburg, home of Virginia Tech, where Nidal Malik Hasan is alleged to have enrolled as an ROTC candidate, earning a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the Center for Applied Behavior Systems, a U.S. psychological warfare training center. Major Hasan's secret research expertiseAccording to official records, Maj. Hasan attended graduate school and received his medical degree from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD in 2003 — home of MK-ULTRA, the military's covert mind-control program. Hasan was also a researcher for the military's U.S. Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, whose web site mysteriously disappeared off the Internet shortly after the Ft. Hood shootings. It is also alleged that Maj. Hasan had been researching Radio Hypnotic Antra-Cerebral-Control Electronic Dissolution of Memory (RHIC-EDAM), a CIA project.The 'official' references to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's military career and his medical education are questionable at best. A mid-level officer designation would likely have afforded him a high security clearance. The www.vahealthprovider.com (Virginia Board of Medicine, Practitioner Information) web site refers to him as "Nidal Malik Hasan, MD," certification number, "0101238630." All of Hasan's entries were updated on 10/13/09, though no certifications or publications are listed to date. Hasan was transferred to Ft. Hood in July, 2009.The Virginia BofM also lists post-graduate studies in "Psychiatry, WRAMC [Walter Reed Army Medical Center], Washington, D.C., USA, Year Residency Completed: 2007. Disaster and Preventative Psychiatry, USUHS/WRAMC, Bethesda, MD, USA, Year Fellowship Completed: 2009." Hasan's primary practice address: Darnall Army Medical Center, 36000 Darnall Loop, Ft. Hood, TX 76544. Phone: 301-547-1599. The phone number, also printed on Hasan's business card, is an "unlisted" landline in Bethesda, MD. Evidently, it was protocol to have calls forwarded to Bethesda, MD, despite his being reassigned to Ft. Hood. In spite of his "poor performance" at WRAMC, he was allowed to continue his psychiatric practice in Texas, though "due to soon be deployed in Afghanistan." The explanation for his shooting rampage, put forth by the media, was communicated within his Internet blog postings, where he voiced his opposition to war in the Middle East. We have yet to hear, firsthand, Hasan'
