Slaying the Mythical al-Qaeda Beast

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: 

All mimsy were the borogoves, 

And the mome raths outgrabe. 

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! 

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! 

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun 

The frumious Bandersnatch!" 

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought -- 

So rested he by the Tumtum tree, 

And stood awhile in thought. 

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, 

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, 

And burbled as it came! 

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! 

He left it dead, and with its head 

He went galumphing back. 

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy! 

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' 

He chortled in his joy. 

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves 

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; 

All mimsy were the borogoves, 

And the mome raths outgrabe. 

One lie I always challenge head on wherever I see it used is any invocation of the mythical Al-Qaeda beast.

No member of the truth movement should be using the term al-Qaeda or referring to it or anything else in such a manner as to apply that does, or did, ever exist.

The Mythical al-Qaeda beast may as well be the Jaberwocky ; it only exists because we said that it did and that is all that gives it life or form - 

"al-Qaeda does not exist" : say it, like mantra, and move along.

If you actually read the text of the Patriot Act, and he NDAA (because I have), the parameters defining the scope War of Terror are built into, and by making reference to the mythical al-Qaeda beast.

If you are saying "al-Qaeda" like its real, you are giving it existence.

If everyone agrees that either al-Qaeda never existed, or at least no longer exists (which is what Ali Soufan says - he defines it as a group never numbering more than 200, which had completely ceased to exist by Spring 2006), then the War of Terror is definitionally and legally over,

I quote The Enemy:

[PLEASE NOTE: In spite of Gadhan's total and complete exposure as a transparent fraud IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, the below Wiki entry by The Enemy has NOT been updated or altered to reflect hs (shit) cover having been blown to reflect the fact that NONE of this is true - it's a complete lie.]

"Adam Yahiye Gadahn (Arabic: آدم يحيى غدن‎, Ādam Yaḥyā Ghadan; born Adam Pearlman; September 1, 1978) is an American who is a senior operative, cultural interpreter, spokesman and media advisor for the Islamist group al-Qaeda. Since 2004, he appeared in a number of videos produced by al-Qaeda as "Azzam the American" ('Azzām al-Amrīki, عزام الأمريكي, sometimes transcribed as Ezzam Al-Amerikee).

Gadahn converted to Islam in 1995, at the age of 17, at a California mosque and is described as a "homegrown," meaning that he has converted to an ideology so firmly that he is now willing to harm his country of origin. He is believed to have inspired the 2007 Osama bin Laden video.

In 2004, he was added to the FBI Seeking Information – War on Terrorism list.

On October 11, 2006 he was removed from that list, and placed on the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Rewards for Justice Program list of wanted criminals.

On the same day, Gadahn was indicted based on the testimony of the FBI case agent E.J. Hilbert II, in the Southern Division of the United States District Court for the Central District of California by a federal grand jury for the capital crime of treason for aiding an enemy of the United States (i.e. al-Qaeda).


Gadahn was born Adam Pearlman, the son of musician Phil Pearlman. Gadahn's Jewish paternal grandfather, Carl Pearlman, was a prominent urologist; and on the Board of Directors of the Anti-Defamation League. According to Gadahn, his grandfather was a "zealous supporter" of Israel.

Gadahn's paternal grandmother, Agnes Branch, a Christian, was an editor for The Christian Family Chronicles (a genealogical publication for people with the surname "Christian").

Gadahn's father, originally Phil Pearlman, grew up in Orange County, California, and he and his wife, Jennifer, later changed their name to Gadahn, after the Biblical warrior Gideon.

He was involved in the counterculture movement at the University of California at Irvine, and before Adam's birth became a Christian. Gadahn described his father as having been "raised agnostic or atheist, but he became a believer in One God when he picked up a Bible left on the beach."

His father's religious perspective was flexible and based upon his own spiritual needs and as a new convert to Islam, Gadahn portrayed his father in a manner sympathetic to his religion of conversion.

Gadahn was born in Oregon, United States, raised a Protestant Christian, and homeschooled through high school by his parents on an isolated farm in Western Riverside County, California.He played Little League baseball and participated in Christian homeschool support groups. As an adolescent he became very involved in the death metal community, making contact with fans and musicians through alternative magazines.

During the summer of 1993, he formed his own one-man band called Aphasia.

Gadahn contributed music reviews and artwork to a zine called Xenocide.

In 1995, at age 16, Gadahn moved in with his grandparents in the West Floral Park neighborhood of Santa Ana, California.

Not long after, he converted to Islam and lamented the estrangement his musical interest caused between him and his family writing,

"My relationship with my parents became strained, although only intermittently so. I am sorry even as I write this."
