September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley
The re-occurrence of grisly, videotaped beheadings of two American hostages in Iraq, in
a manner very similar to the execution of Nick Berg, provided an opportunity to test the
hypothesis that these executions were not quite what they appeared to be. Like the
execution of Nick Berg, there is reason to believe the executions of Americans Eugene
Armstrong and Jack Hensley were not terrorist attacks on innocent victims, but were in
fact, executions administered by the Israeli secret service on individuals who had
willingly cast their fortunes and lives on the sea of international espionage. These
individuals (and their families) were probably being punished - not to influence US
policy, but because they jeopardized the very existence or authority of the Mossad in
Iraq.
In Section 2, (written prior to the murders of Armstrong and Hensley) it was argued that
the execution of Nick Berg was actually a cover-up of the Mossad’s involvement in the
United States and the attack of 9/11, and at the same time, a message to their own
organization that ‘loose lips’ are dealt with severely.
When these two Americans were executed three and a half months later - purportedly by
the same individual, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - it seemed appropriate to test the basic
premise of the prior interpretation of events. The initial hypothesis going into the
research was that if these latter public executions did not withstand scrutiny similar to
that imposed on the Nick Berg affair, it may be possible that the interpretation of events
was ‘unreliable.’ The question was: were Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley also spies
killed by the Mossad? Unfortunately, that appears to be the case.
The known facts surrounding this affair are scarcer than those around l’ affaire de Berg
but they point to one conclusion: both Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley most likely
worked in or for the American intelligence world, and were not innocent victims.
The analysis starts with the observation that these gentlemen were not average
Americans. They were not – as the news would suggest - a couple of normal, civil
engineers who were trying to help in the reconstruction of Iraq. They were not normal
‘guys’ who might have worked at one or two local construction or engineering
companies, got laid off, and applied for an overseas job. Like Berg, these gentlemen:
• Traveled internationally, and extensively so;
• Demonstrated exceptional risk-taking behaviors in terms of going places they should
not be;
• Worked for companies with significant contracts to the US intelligence world;
• Consorted with known spies or terrorists;
• Had the FBI investigating their lives; and
• Left behind puzzling questions and contradictions about them in their life stories.
