Operation
Desert Storm
George
Bush and Desert Storm
We have received a piece of the puzzle to
solve the mystery on this sound file. Does anyone
have another connecting piece? Here is a quote
from our contributer, "Dear David, In response to your
question of what 'the' sea hawk is I do not know. However, a
Navy SH-60 Sea Hawk is a twin-engine, medium lift, utility or
assault helicopter.

NOTHING IS
SECRET - THE LEGACY OF
SIMONE
By David John
Oates
There has been
much controversy and mis-information floating
around over the last few months about "Simone"
and President Bush's speeches. Just to set the
record straight here is an article that
accurately documents the series of events that
led to this story breaking national press.
In the September 1990 issue of
Backtalk we published a series of session
transcripts from key players in the Persian Gulf
crisis recorded during the first two weeks of
Operation Desert Shield. Among these transcripts
a mysterious word was heard that had never been
heard before in Reverse Speech. The word was
Simone. In fact this word appeared not once, but
many times on key American speakers, in each
instance as they were talking forwards about the
Iraqi war machine or U.S. operations in the
Persian Gulf. President Bush had a reversal that
said: "Simone, Simone in the sands" (Click here to download a wave file of this -
WARNING, its 2.5 megs so allow some time)*;
Secretary Baker had a reversal that said "Simone
won't shine"*; Defense Secretary Cheney
had a reversal that said "Simone goes in".*
(*** See notes at end of article.)
After my recent move to Denver I began
sorting through boxes and boxes
of old research material and archives and came
across some rather
interesting additions to the "Simone"
controversy. When I first came to
the United States in 1990 I first took Reverse
Speech to the US
government and law enforcement agencies.
Initially there was great
interest. The Michigan State Police Department
were planning on doing a
field research project on reverse speech.
Here
is a copy of one a the
many faxes that went to and fro.
However, this would not last long because a few
months later I found a
secret code in one of bushes speeches that
revealed a possible military
code word. Details of this controversy can be
found on the page
including a secret memo leaked to the press. Here
is a video clip of the
CNN news story on the article.
I was asked to keep quite about all this and for
the most part I did.
However, several news paper articles were
published. Here are some of
them... beltway

After all this hit the press, many of my lectures
around the country
were canceled, the Michigan State Police stopped
looking for funding for
the research into Reverse Speech and I was
shunned, not to reappear onto
the scene again (at least publicly) until 1996.
The rest of the story is
on the page below."
It seemed apparant to many
Reverse Speech researchers that there may be some
special significance to this word for it to
suddenly appear in Reverse Speech only during the
Persian Gulf crisis. It had never been documented
before. Was it a code word? Or perhaps a personal
metaphor, doing the rounds with Oral Tradition,
that described the current situation in the
Persian Gulf?
Curious to know an answer to
this, I made some discrete enquiries with an
acquaintance of mine in Washington DC - Special
assistant, Scott Jones, who worked for Rhode
Island Senator Claibourne Pell, the chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Scott
Jones is a former naval Intelligence officer who
works for Senator Pell in the role of an adviser,
investigating new technologies and paranormal
phenomenon. Jones had visited me in Dallas in
July 1990 to look into Reverse Speech. He had
been sufficently impressed with the technology to
travel back to Washington DC and arrange private
briefings for me with the FBI and key politicians
on Capitol Hill. These briefings were due to take
place in November 1990 and he had already sent me
my airplane ticket. The "Simone"
incident was just a little sideline in an already
developing relationship.
Scott Jones then wrote a
confidential letter to his long time friend, Dick
Cheney, telling him of Reverse Speech and "Simone."
One line in his letter sparked attention: "I
mention this situation in case it is a code word
that it would not be in the national interests to
reveal. "
Obviously someone down the line
thought that it was in the national interests
because a copy of the letter found its way to the
press and almost overnight "Simone"
made it to national news desks across the country.
CNN cable news ran the story
implying that Reverse Speech was some new secret
technology that the Pentagon was being very tight
lipped about. Of course if the truth be known
they probably had no idea what Reverse Speech was.
Other newspapers across the country ran the story
with headlines like: "Is The President
Hiding Secret Code Words Backwards In His Speech",
and "What is Reverse Speech?"
From a political point of view,
tbe story could not have broken at a worse time.
Senator Pell was up for re-election and with the
story for the most part being ridiculed, Scott
Jones' assertions seemed to portray a credibility
gap. One reporter said to me: "The man's
crazy. Playing tapes backwards to hear voices.
Now if that don't beat all." No-one ever
bothered to state tbat it wasn't Scott Jones'
analysis. He hadn't played the tapes backwards
and found the reversals. I had. He was merely
doing exactly what his job called him to do. Look
into new technologies and report back.
As a result of the incident, my
trip to Washington DC was cancelled indefinitely.
Reverse Speech was now a political mine field.
Scott Jones requested that I drop tbe incident
and keep a low profile until it all blew over. I
reluctantly agreed but privately I was still
curious. What did Simone mean?
Then, in a radio interview I
conducted shortly afterwards, someone informed me
that "Simone" was actually an Arabic
word, spelled "Simoonn, that meant a "Dust
Storm In The Desert." Further research
revealed that it was an Arabic word that had
since been adopted in English. The official
Contemporary dictionary definition is: "A
hot, dry, dust laden, exhausting wind of the
African and Arabian deserts." The Oxford
dictionary goes one step further and calls it
"violent. "
I found this translation, and
its significance with the current operations in
the Persian Gulf to be more than fascinating,
especially considering that it was both an Arabic
AND English word. My original thinking was that
it described the way the Iraqis had stormed
Kuwait in a violent fashion in the sands of the
Arabian deserts. I theorized tbat it may have
been adopted as a personal metaphor for the Gulf
operations. I subsequently wrote an article on
Simone for the November issue of Backtalk but was
requested that I not print it. Not wishing to
cause unnecessary complications I agreed, and
just before Backtalk went to print in November, I
pulled tbe article. Now, in light of recent
events I wish I had not. The article was actually
quite prophetic in its implications. Here are a
few selected short lines from it...
"While we may never know
what Simone actually means, there are some
interesting possibilities. It may be a code word
for an operation in the gulf or a personal
metaphor of some description ... on a recent
radio talk show a caller told me that it is the
Arabic word for Dust Storm. The caller cited as
his source The Dictionary Of Geographical Terms.
Other possible translations are "Desert Wind"
or "DESERT STORM. '' (my emphasis in
this reprint) ... ultimately Simone is just
another mystery in this new technology of Reverse
Speech that may one day be explained."
Other than that one radio
interview and an article in The Rhode Island
Providence Journal, I was never mentioned in
any of the press reports. I mentioned it briefly
in some public lectures for the next two or three
weeks and then slowly forgot about it until ...
The war broke. Chills traveled up and down my
spine as it was announced that operation Desert
Storm had begun. "Simone!" I exclaimed
out loud. I rang some of my students and they had
seen it as well. Suddenly excitement in the
Reverse Speech community was intense.
Here we had the code name for
the current operation in the Gulf being announced
in national press THREE months prior to its
official announcement. What better proof could we
have for the existence and profound importance of
Reverse Speech?
During the following week, as
watched with interest all the press reports
coming out of the Gulf, it slowly dawned on me
that not only was Simone a cryptic Reverse Speech
code name for Operation Desert Storm but it was
also a metaphor that graphically described the
way the operations in the Gulf were being
conducted. Around the clock, relentless, fast and
effective. (Dictionary definitions: exhausting
wind, hot, dry, dust laden.)
Then, when the first American
POWs were interviewed, I heard Sirnone in reverse
for the very first time on an Iraqi (see
transcript elsewhere in this issue). Shortly
afterwards, during Iraq's short occupation of the
Saudi Arabian border town of Kafji, Iraq made an
announcement calling Kafji: " The beginning
of a thunderous storm rolling across the desert."
Simone was to be seen everywhere.
Thus we have Simone, a profound
lesson in the true nature of Reverse Speech.
Simone, the code name for the U.S. operations in
the Gulf relayed in national press three months
prior to its official announcement. Simone, a
metaphor that graphically depicts the whole
spirit and feel of the war in the Gulf, both from
the American and Iraqi viewpoint. And finally -
Simone, the name of my first born twin daughter
on whom the first reversal on children was found
at four months of age - "Mummy":.
May it live forever in Reverse Speech history!
OPERATION DESERT
STORM
We had planned to present many
significant reversals from operation Desert storm
in this issue, but due to a heavy work load it
was not possible to prepare the transcripts. We
have, however, published a collection of
reversals from the first thirty minutes of the
war with CNN reporters, and another section where
the first American POWs were seen on Iraqi
television. All reversals have been reprinted as
they occurred without comment.
The research institute has just
begun a major research project into Operation
Desert storm (for details see page 7) and the
initial results of this will be published in the
next issue of BackTalk.
THE WAR BEGINS
Peter: "Now we're seeing a
lot of activity in the area of .this refinery.
One thing after another. [One bomb, apparantly],
coming down in the area..." You must
alert the bomb
Peter: "Oops! Now there's
[something on fire]. That was an explosion fairly
near our location at, er, [near a mosk in
downtown]. We could sort of feel the report [from
that]." I've known it. I'm lonely. I'm
worried. Damn them!
John: "Tonight, [every
bomb we have seen] land [seems to have hit
something]. They hit the refinery correctly..."
Now nuclear war. They are not visible.
John: "They seem to, they
have [these, er, laser directed], they, the, the,
the guided [bombs systems] now." They
kill with hardly a word. Is this Simone?
Peter: "[Well the anti air
craft] fire has died down and it seems to me that
there's been [at least three waves] of aircraft
here so far." Fucking Arab. We fucked
Arab.
Peter: "[But as I said,
further out] in the city, on the outskirts of the
city there seems to be [more explosions taking
place, multiple explosions]! " Hey listen!
Fire love. Shell with the bomb. Help me get
results.
Peter: " [Indeed. Its
quiet over] there too. But I think its probably
just a lull as President Bush follows] through
his threat in an attempt to prove to Saddam
Hussein that he should leave Kuwait." They
ousted Eden. Don't shoot them. Nuke them.
Charles Jaco: "[The war
With Iraq] began early Tuesday morning as a
squadron of U.S. [fighter bombers took off from]
the largest U.S. air base in central Saudi Arabia."
Now with the whirlwind. Don't want to fuck
with you.
Charles Jaco: "Colonel Ray
Davies said, This is history in the making. [He
said, er watched a group of sombre] pilots board
their aircrafts, [taxy down the runway] and
takeoff." You must remove the soul. We
are at mercy. You all know of my disgust.
Charles Jaco: "The
military here in Saudi Arabia has [no further
information]. They say all briefings will
probably come from Riyadh." War is here.
Ashamed of me.
CNN Front Desk: "The
liberation of Kuwait, in the words of the White
House, has begun with operation [Desert Storm]."
I know you monsters.
Peter: "We have yet to see
the bombs fall but its the same pattern of the
previous, [at least three raids], that we have
witnessed." We're stupid. Get used to it.
John: "The anti aircraft [fire
is now going toward the South]. We're looking [out
to the west] and we [see the tracer bullets going]."
To hell with it. The bastards don't know Fonzi.
Don't tell 'em it's yesterday.
John: "The flames might be
high [but the tracer bullets are still going] up
into the sky." I know I'd waste it. Bomb
Jerusalem.
John: " [We've seen these
bombs come down before]." Bomb them often.
I must love in Hebrew.
John: "We don't have any
indication [at all that these] anti-aircraft guns
are much success." They use the Lord.
John: "I'll give another
moment to [catch your breath]." I'll
respect it.
AMERICAN POW'S
POW: "..leutenant [Jefferey
Morton Zaun], United States Navy... Want my
home. You hurt.
POW: " . . . [I am from
attack squadron 35] in the U.S. Saratoga..."
They don't have love there.
POW: "...my mission was to
attack H3 airfield in [south western Iraq]..."
Error, you still trust me.
POW: "...[I think our
leaders] and our people have wrongly attacked the
peaceful people of Iraq..." Do you know this
hell?
POW: "...I would like to [tell
my mother and my father] and mysister that [I am
well treated]..." You know now my trouble.
Hurts to done it.
POW: "...and that [they
should pray] for peace..." Ashamed in it.
Iraq: " ?????? " Simone ?????
POW: "...[for the
children, please study hard at school]..." Bush
robbed your faith, Bush did.
