(Finalcall.com) -- In recent months, in light of the ongoing war against terrorism, certain political and media pundits have attempted to whip up an atmosphere of anti-Muslim hysteria and scapegoating in the American press, where a terrorist plot or Islamic "fifth column" movement, is imagined to exist under every rock.

Recent examples of this reckless journalism includes a June 11, 2002 New York Post article by John Podhoretz, titled "The First Sign of a Fifth Column?" in which the author makes a convoluted attempt to link Black and Hispanic prisoners incarcerated in U.S. jails, who are exercising their constitutional right to practice the religion of their choice, to some imagined Islamic terrorist "fifth column," operating in America, with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan as their leader. At one point in his ridiculous article, Mr. Podhoretz accuses Min. Farrakhan of "violently opposing the war in Afghanistan." It is these types of irresponsible accusations and reporting that incite fear and hatred against a man whose mission is, and always has been, peace through the teaching of truth.

Although there is absolutely no evidence to support Mr. Podhoretz’s charges, this nonsense is passed off as responsible journalism.

Another example of this type of witch-hunt journalism can be found in a recent editorial printed July 11, 2002 in Conrad Black’s tabloid rag, the Chicago Sun-Times, titled "Where Farrakhan and Saddam agree," in which it is implied that Min. Farrakhan and Saddam Hussein are partners in some imagined "deep anti-Americanism" mindset.

This same editorial goes on to accuse Min. Farrakhan of "offering up himself as a propaganda patsy—again—to regimes that would kill you and us given half the chance." Again, although no evidence exists that would substantiate any of these charges, this is passed off as actual facts.

It can be shown that there are absolutely no links between the work and mission of Min. Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam with a terrorist fifth column. But that does not mean, however, that dangerous, treasonous fifth column activity does not exist in this country.

Enough evidence has been revealed since Sept. 11 that points to the existence of certain individuals and agencies in this country whose documented activities constitute a real clear and present danger to the security of the American people and could, in fact, represent a real fifth column agenda!

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines a "fifth column" as: "A clandestine subversive organization working within a country to further an invading enemy’s military and political aims." Consider the following activities of various individuals and agencies connected to the U.S. government which have been documented by various national and international media outlets, then determine for yourself if a fifth column does indeed exist.

The Dick Cheney/Saddam Hussein Connection: President Bush has determined that the removal of Iraq’s President Saddam Hussein has become the cornerstone of his admini-stration’s foreign policy. But, according to a headline article in the Washington-based The Spotlight newspaper titled "Cheney Profits From Iraq Deals," as recently as the fall of 1998, the current Vice President of the United States, while serving as CEO of Halliburton, was a business partner of the so-called terrorist dictator Saddam Hussein!

In a Spotlight exclusive by reporter Martin Mann, the following is stated: "While denouncing Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, Dick Cheney secretly has been cutting deals behind the scenes with the ‘outlaw’ Mideast country." Mr. Mann’s article continues: "A confidential survey by the UN Sanctions Committee of Western corporations suspected of having evaded the harsh economic embargo imposed on Iraq after the Gulf War recently noted that before being named as the Republican vice presidential candidate, Cheney served as chairman and CEO of Halliburton, the world’s largest petroleum engineering outfit. The report revealed that on Cheney’s orders, Halliburton bought a controlling interest in two smaller European oil-service firms, Dresser-Rand and Ingersoll-Dresser Pump, in the early fall of 1998. Cheney then used these overseas front companies as a covert conduit to sell Saddam Hussein more than $50 million worth of oil exploration and pumping equipment."

This astounding report would seem to contain some truth, since neither Dick Cheney nor anyone representing him or the present administration has come forth to repudiate its validity.

If we were to accept the premise put forth by the Bush administration, that the Iraqi government—which is restricted from patrolling its own airspace—is a terrorist regime that threatens the security of the United States and the rest of the world, then what does that make someone who has aided that regime by making available to it some $50 million worth of economic assets? A fifth column maybe? (Reference: December 18, 2000 edition ofThe Spotlight newspaper.)

The CIA and the Osama bin Laden free ride: According to all signals coming from the Bush administration, Osama bin Laden is the most wanted man on the U.S. list of terrorist suspects, and has been so for the last several years. Yet, according to a report in the highly respected French newspaper Le Figaro, as recently as July 2001, the CIA was in direct contact with this most wanted terrorist!

According to accounts printed in the French publication, Osama bin Laden received treatment for kidney disease at the American Hospital in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, for a 10-day period, July 4-14, 2001. It was during that hospital stay that, according to Le Figaro, bin Laden was visited by the local CIA representative, who was seen going into bin Laden’s room and later reported leaving Dubai headed back to Washington and CIA headquarters on July 15. According to the same report, Osama bin Laden was allowed to leave Dubai on a private jet on July 14. Please keep in mind that bin Laden was already a wanted fugitive for the bombings of two U.S. embassies and the USS Cole at that time!

What would a CIA representative have to discuss with Osama bin Laden other than the terms of his surrender? And what exactly did this CIA official tell his superiors at CIA headquarters in Washington about this meeting?

How do we describe this type of activity? Fifth column maybe? (Reference: Le Figaro, October 31, 2001, and www:copvcia.com.)

Bush and the Al Qaeda "Getaway": In what may be the most incredible, yet disturbing report to surface in the present war on terrorism, famed journalist Seymour M. Hersh in the January 28, 2002 edition of the The New Yorker magazine, has documented a November 2001 secret military airlift ordered directly by the Bush administration under which some 4,000 to 5,000 Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters, who were engaged in military combat against U.S. troops in the town of Kunduz in Afghanistan, were airlifted to safety into northwest Pakistan by the United States Central Command!

In Mr. Hersh’s report, titled "The Getaway", he states: "In Afghanistan last November, the Northern Alliance, supported by American Special Forces troops and emboldened by the highly accurate American bombing, forced thousands of Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters to retreat inside the northern hill town of Kunduz. Trapped with them were Pakistan army officers, intelligence advisers, and volunteers who were fighting alongside the Taliban." (Pakistan had been the Taliban’s staunchest military and economic supporter in its long-running war against the Northern Alliance.)

Mr. Hersh says that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, "won American support for the airlift by warning that the humiliation of losing hundreds—perhaps thousands—of Pakistani army men and intelligence operatives would jeopardize his political survival." Mr. Hersh continues in his report, "A CIA analyst said that it was his understanding that the decision to permit the airlift was made by the White House and was indeed driven by a desire to protect the Pakistani leader."

According to Mr. Hersh’s report, "American intelligence officials and high-ranking military officers said that Pakistanis were indeed flown to safety in a series of nighttime airlifts that were approved by the Bush Administration. The American intelligence officers also said that what was supposed to be a limited evacuation apparently slipped out of control, and as an unintended consequence, an unknown number of Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters managed to join the exodus."

In the report, Mr. Hersh points out that according to estimates compiled by the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) of the Indian intelligence services, between 4,000 and 5,000 Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters may have slipped out of Afghanistan in the airlifts, and are unaccounted for! (Reference:The New Yorker magazine, January 28, 2002 edition)

Now, the first question that may comes to mind after reviewing this report is, exactly how do some 4,000 to 5,000 enemy combatants manage to slip out of Afghanistan in a U.S. military-controlled operation? Exactly who in the U.S. military chain-of-command is being held responsible for this? And why is it that Mr. Seymour Hersh is the only mainstream media reporter with the courage to report this incredible story?

Maybe for the American mainstream media it is simply a case of not seeing the forest for the trees, and not understanding that if a real fifth column does indeed exist, it would be precisely where they should expect it to be—right behind them!

It's a problem because:-

1) He's dead. Apparently.

2) No one has taken his full medical history

3) He has not been examined by a qualified a consultant Psychiatrist, who has met him AND has access to his full medical history

4) He may not actually exist, in which case, he cannot be ill..

And in the absence of those things, diagnosing him with ANYTHING is a major breach of basic medical ethics. But if I had to take a guess as to what's currently afflicting him, my most informed guess would probably be "death".

Newsflash: Iran and Israel are BFF

Those are US-made F-14's.

How is it, do you suppose, they are able to get the spares for those things?

Or train their pilots?

Obama secretly steps up his game, moves to begin to normalise relations with Iran: The Plotters kick back like a mule....

The underground wires have it that Hilary Clinton's "blood clot"/"concussion"was the result of a small place crash several weeks ago over Iran during a side trip conducted in absolute, strictest secrececy to begin substantive discussions aimed at normalising relations between Washington and Tehran for the first time since 1979.

The crash supposedly killed a Navy SEAL assigned to protection detail which, in accordance with the Bengahzi hang-out means that he was CIA and not a Nacy SEAL at all (like Glen Doherty and Tyone Woods - Navy SEALs blow things up, conduct wetworks and snatch-and-grab raids, they do not provide close protection cover for VIPs)




This story has, in large part, been corroberated by ABC News and AP here:

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/iran-us-plane-made-emergency-landing-weeks-ago-18093482

and by Al-Jazeera here:

(I'm working on getting a double-blind translation from the Farsi.




Here's what Iranian State television, PRESS TV (banned from the public airwaves om the UK, if not the US as well) has to say about the incident:-http://www.presstv.com/usdetail/280965.html




If is word for word identical, note perfect in correspondance with the most public western media pronouncement, absent of all editorialising, saracam and any amd aall snide remakrs about American militarism and Imperial se;f-deusions.




Which is pretty well the best possible evidence that this HAPPENED, this incident was REAL, the Ianians are COOPERATING with the Administration to preseve the secrecy of negotiations and provoke reprisals by those who profit by Iran's international pariah status.

Well, they tried to blow the Secretary of Stae's plane out of the air while she was conducting a mission of peace to a generation-old enemy nation held under onerous and punative trade senctions for abosulutely not good or morally justified reason.




All they killed at least on American Navy SEAL/CIA Agent doing it.




I'd say the Cryptocracy has officially upped the ante, wouldn't you?
ABC explicitly reported that it was an American regiseted private plane, a C-12 Huon light passenger transport commissioned almost exclusively for US Govenrment use, largely in the Agfhan and Iraq war theatres for the safe transfer of VIPs in hot or hosrile terrain.

ABC further reports that roughly 30 American registered planes take off and land from Iarnian airfields or major airports every day.

I struggle to accept that this is true -

US citizens are still formally banned form visiting the Islamic Republic of Iran and the USG officially cautions against any private citizens attempting to enter the country on a whim or any other circumstances, since they would be liable to being jailed  and do some serious hard time if caught, since the  Iranians have learnt from bitter experience to presuppose any American  nationals entering their country covertly are engaged in espionage on behalf of the "Great American Satan"

Although, again, don't believe the hype - although that term has largely been retired, post-Khomeni, The Supreme Ruler himself (at least initally)  intended (as he explained) to apply that term *personally*to President Jimmy Carter (absolutely the wrong person to blame) for having the CIA train, indoctrinate and support operationally and financially both the Shah himself personally and his brutal and infamous human rights abusing "secret police" (and CIA subsidiary), the SABAK

(but they were both of them, deceived....)...

But that's a LOOOONG story for another day,

This is about the  lies, distortions, half-truths and false-flags that get the public consciousness  to fully assimilate and accommodate the constructed narrative by forcing it to devleop AROUND the contratdicory, aomalous and often mutually exclusive early scraps of information available in he imedidate aftermath that quickly gets totally buried,

The Minority Reports Americans and westerners in general are typically on permitted to have shown to them once before they vanish out of the historic record and eventually out of all living memory.

And yet those people that live in Iran and watch Iranian State Television KNOW  about the US's long and extensive history of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Republican Right wing and the Western corporate media have of completely f**king over the Iranian people at every given opportunity;

Which typically has involved overthrowing their democratically elected system of  representative government  and installed instead brutal, iron-fisted absolute dictatorships, heaeaded by zealously militant and pioous clergymen or authoritarian borderline paranoic little Kinlings with a chronically  cowardly track record of fleeing to the airport and skipping the country whenerever the people of his coutnry took to the streets to proclaim his illegtimacy....

Always with with justification that absolute monarchs and sincere zealous  fundamentalist  theocrats can ALWAYS be allied upon to be THE most implacable,, unyieleding and uncompromising  actors for  promoting Anti-Communsim and counter-revolutionary efforts as their personally committed and utterly  hardlne spokesmen across the global stage....

This was no "technical fault" that cuased the plane to fall out of the sky folliowing a seminly nptich-perfect take-off over Iranian air space~~

Feel free to "myth-bust" the convergent claims made by opposing and horstile reigimes and their controlled media and my piece here presenting a unified these of hat the f**k is going on with the coup and everything.....

 And prove me wrong.

All that is neccessary is a verified. timestamped, non-photoshopped image of Hilary Clonton between the 16th December and this past Suundaysuficidnet to deduce her approximate whereabnutx, activities and  broad, general indicators of her current state iof her health (for any visible injuries) she displayed at the time,

I am certain that it cannot be done - but PLESE, I encourage you..  I impore you....

Go off and prove me wrong.

I dare you.

Mediatization of emergency landing of a US plane in the town of Ahwaz !

The Pentagon Try to Murder Hillary. Again.

There were at least a dozen or more inexplicable plane and helicopter crashes during the Clinton Administration of close advisors and confidants to the Clinton's. From former bodyguards to Cabinet level appointees.

Plus all the "suicides".

Treasury Secretary Ron Brown's plane went down on final approach to Dubrovnik airport in Summer 1996.

That morning, the plane and been carrying Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, as well as the Secretary of Defence. And it was NOT a small plane - it killed 26 Americans.

Reportedly at least one women survived long enough in the wreckage for it to be found before perishing.

And she was pulled from the wreckage on a hillside - contrary to the first reporting by Pentagon spokesmen that: 

"The plane went down over the water; 

bodies have been seen in the water, amid the wreckage, floating around in a debris field;

and there is no reason to suspect foul play, terrorism or military action, it was simply considered likely to have been an accidental crashlanding, despite the airport in question it was heading for was considered to be hot and something of a Free-fire zone for planes landing there in the recent past"

It was being tracked at the time by two AWACS and was on telemetry track for final approach, 5 miles out from the end of the runway.

The US Air Force spent the next 5 hours conducting air-sea rescue over the Adriatic.

Apply Occam's Razor: who is doing the killing?


As a final point to note, the late Bro. Steve Cokely was dismissive of the notion of any racial dimension to the targetted hit on the one he and others referred to as "Ron Beige" or "Boule Brown, and by extension, an Oval Office authorised hit on Brown to prevent him from testifying and implicating Clinton in the Chinagate investigations by turning State's evidence, as was immediately later claimed.

With reference to the Hilary aspect and her brush with death, Bro. Cokely dismissed the Pentagon/GOP line of slander and inuendo out of hand by noting, correctly in my view,

"Well, they probably feel the same way about her as they do about Ron Brown."

Right enough.

This, quote directly from a viscously right-wing blog entitled "Right, Wing Nut!"
(subtitled: "a small part of the vast, right-wing conspiracy...")


"First we were told that Hillary became dehydrated earlier this month because of a stomach virus she contracted during a trip to Europe. At some point, her aides claim, Hillary fainted and fell, resulting in a concussion.

Or was it Europe after all?

State Department officials had said that Mrs. Clinton fainted when she was at home alone in Washington but added that the concussion was not diagnosed immediately.


Apparently, the Secretary of State is now hospitalized with a blood clot in a vein between her brain and skull behind her right ear. Not life threatening, or so we are told ( a disclaimer that must be applied to any Obama Administration communique, alas...).

Just what the fuck is the Benghazi Bunch up to here?

I've said little in these pages about Ms. Clinton's illness/injuries, mostly because I've found the whole thing so odd. Very coincidental (but still possible) if true, utterly "banana republic-style" should she pop up hale and hearty once the Benghazi business had been swept conveniently under the rug.

But certain rumors now must be addressed, especially as Hillary appears to be more seriously ill than we were originally told.

Specifically - was Madame Secretary on a secret mission to negotiate (surrender?) with the Iranian mullahs when her plane crashed, killing a top Navy Seal in the process, one whose death is being smeared and covered up?

That's what they are saying...in Europe. From the EU Times:

A new Foreign Military Intelligence (GRU) report circulating in the Kremlin today is saying that United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was injured, and a top US Navy Seal Commander killed when their C-12 Huron military passenger and transport aircraft crash landed nearly 3 weeks ago in the Iranian city of Ahvaz near the Iraqi border.

Iranian intelligence agents quoted in this GRU report confirm that the C-12 Huron aircraft is still in their possession in Ahvaz, but will only admit that the plane was “forced to land because of technical problems”.

The US Navy Seal member reported killed in this bizarre incident, this report says, was indentified as Commander Job W. Price who as a leader of this highly specialized American Special Forces unit protects high-ranking diplomats traveling in Middle Eastern and Asian combat zones.

Curiously, US media reports on Commander Price’s death say it being investigated as a possible suicide as he died from what the American Defense Department describes as “a non-combat related injury”.


Here's the "details", such as they are:

This GRU report, however, states that US military flight logs recorded by Russian air and space forces confirm that Commander Price, and other members of US Navy Seal Team 4, left their base in Urozgan Province, Afghanistan on a flight to US Naval Support Activity Bahrain where they met up with Secretary Clinton and all of them transferred to the C-12 Huron that began a flight path to Baghdad, Iraq.

Within minutes of leaving Bahrain airspace, this report says, the C-12 Huron carrying Secretary Clinton and her US Navy Seal protectors, “without notice,” deviated from their assigned flight path heading, instead, directly towards Iran’s Ahwaz International Airport where, coincidentally, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had previously landed on an “unscheduled” visit.

Important to note, GRU analysts say in this report, was that when the C-12 Huron entered into Iranian airspace neither American nor Iran air force units responded clearly indicating that this secret mission was sanctioned.

Upon the C-12 Huron landing at Ahwaz, however, this report says it encountered “extreme turbulence” causing it to leave the runway where its main landing gear then collapsed causing it to crash.

Within seconds of the C-12 Huron crashing, this report continues, Iranian emergency and security personal responded freeing the victims, including Secretary Clinton who was reportedly unconscious and “bleeding profusely.”


Well, certainly this would have given her the infamous concussion. And blunt impact trauma can often cause blood clots that show up some time later.

This little tidbit showed up yesterday...a story out of Iran, reported by ABC (who takes pains to point out elsewhere they reported this story "more than two weeks ago". Also interesting...)

A small American commercial plane left Iran Sunday after it was repaired following an emergency landing at an Iranian airport this month, state TV reported.

The plane was forced to land 16 days ago at the airport of the southern city of Ahvaz due to technical failure, Mahmoud Rasoulinejad, head of the state-owned Iran Airports Company, told the TV station.



"So my plane is scheduled to land right here..."


Rasoulinejad said three passengers left Iran for Arab countries in the Gulf, but the plane remained under repair in the airport. He said the plane took off from Iran Sunday upon arrival of needed spare parts and completion of repairs.

It was not clear why the announcement of the plane's landing was not made earlier...


Oh, I can think of a lot of reasons.

It sounds so fantastical...but remember, these are the same people who allowed diplomats and security guards to be slaughtered in their Libyan consulate, lied about it, jailed an America in California for allegedly "provoking" the attacks, then blamed Republicans for making the event "political". The media, in deference to their preferred party, refused to cover the story at all, and the Benghazi Bunch got away with murder.


With that recent "success" in mind...why wouldn't they fly Madame Secretary on the down-low to Iran so as to capitulate to their leadership (perhaps serve up Israel, now that the election is over), and - given the inevitable disaster - why wouldn't they think they could cover-up the truth once again, and throw a dead soldier under the bus in order to do so?

More on this shortly...




UPDATE: Some questions raised about the veracity of this story in the comments below, but more interestingly...did Hillary Clinton have a stroke? Or does Hillary - as the National Enquirer claims - have a brain tumor? The Althouse link has a number of differing opinions as well...


UPDATE II: Picked up by DEBKA, I see....there are reputation issues there as well, of course, but DEBKA has often called Middle East action light-years beofre the so-called experts. Point it, the story is out there...

UPDATE III: It seems as if even the mainstream media is in "WTF?" mode... "

Keeping the Agency's Secrets: Assassination Begets Assassination

Robert Fisk is The Only Man Alive to have interviewed Osama Bin Laden Three Times.

Nearly four times.. Final time cancelled due to US air strike in late 2001.

Listen VERY carefully to what he has to say....

That was on 18 October 2007.

The assassination of Benazir Bhutto occurred on 27 December 2007 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

Direct quotation from The Enemy (Wikipedia):

"In May 2007, Bhutto asked for additional protection from foreign contracting agencies Blackwater and the British firm Armour Group.

The United Nations' investigation of the incident revealed that, "Ms. Bhutto's assassination could have been prevented if adequate security measures had been taken." "

That's fairly clearly stated: she hired both British and American mercs to ensure her survival and yet her security protection was inadequate.


Bhutto, twice Prime Minister of Pakistan (1988–1990; 1993–1996) and then-leader of the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party, had been campaigning ahead of elections scheduled for January 2008.

Currently, Pakistan is back to being a military dictatorship once more - although one substantially less Western-aligned than it had been before.

Shots were fired at her after a political rally at Liaquat National Bagh, and a suicide bomb was detonated immediately following the shooting.

She was declared dead at 18:16 local time (13:16 UTC), at Rawalpindi General Hospital.

Twenty-four other people were killed by the bombing.

Though early reports indicated that she had been hit by shrapnel or the gunshots, the Pakistani Interior Ministry initially stated that Bhutto died of a skull fracture sustained when the force of the explosion caused her head to strike the sunroof of the vehicle.


Bhutto's aides rejected this version, and argued instead that she suffered two gunshots before the bomb detonation.

The Interior Ministry subsequently backtracked from its previous claim.

However, a follow-up investigation by Scotland Yard found

... oh dear...

that while gunshots were fired, they were not The Cause of Death, agreeing with the Interior Ministry's original assessment that the explosion forced her head into the roof of the vehicle.

How does Scotland Yard play a role in investigating this? How much British taxpayer funds, man-hours and other resources were spent producing a third-party whitewash to counter the existing indpendent third party investigation conducted on behalf of the United Nations, who already had a local mission in-country and people on the ground?

On what basis does Scotland Yard have jurisdiction and on what basis are they the authority in any sense on forensic investigations? EVERY terrorist incident in London dating back to 1901, they have falsified the bomb foresnics and fitted up completely innocent people.

Don't they read Sherlock Holmes in Pakistan?

“I am not retained by The Police Force to supply their deficiencies."

 
"Although Lestrade is absolutely devoid of reason, he is as tenacious as a bulldog when he once understands what he has to do. "

 

"Gregson is the smartest of the Scotland Yarders. He and Lestrade are the pick of a bad lot."

 

"Supposing I unravel the whole matter, you may be sure that Gregson, Lestrade and Co. will pocket all the credit. That comes of being an unofficial personage. "

"All my instincts are one way, and all the facts are the other, and I much fear that British juries have not yet attained that pitch of intelligience when they will give the preference to my theories over Lestrade's facts. "

"We're not jealous of you down at Scotland Yard. No, sir, we are proud of you, and if you come down to-morrow there's not a man, from the oldest inspector to the youngest constable, who wouldn't be glad to shake you by the hand."   

 

Inspector Lestrade.

Additionally:

Pakistan's election commission met on 31 December to decide whether or not to delay the January elections; two days before they hinted that they would need to because pre-election preparation had been "adversely affected".

A senior election commission official subsequently announced that the election would be delayed until "the later part of February".
 

Senator Latif Khosa, one of Bhutto's top aides, reported that she was planning to divulge evidence of fraud in the upcoming election following the event where the assassination took place.

The pair co-wrote a 160-page dossier on the subject, with Bhutto outlining tactics she alleged would be put into play, including intimidation, excluding voters and fake ballots being planted in boxes.

The report was titled Yet another stain on the face of democracy. In a statement he made on 1 January 2008, Khosa said : "The State Agencies are manipulating the whole process, there is rigging by the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence), the Election Commission and the previous government, which is still continuing to hold influence. They were on the rampage.

 

 [CLICK FOR FULL REPORT ]
 

Khosa said that they had planned to give the dossier to two American law-makers on the evening of her assassination and release it publicly soon after that. 

One of the claims in the dossier was that US financial aid had been secretly misappropriated for electoral fraud and another was that the ISI has a 'mega-computer' which could hack into any other computer and was connected to the Election Commission's system. 

 
A spokesman for President Musharraf called the claims "ridiculous".

In the run up to the election, the 'sympathy vote' was considered crucial for the Pakistan Peoples Party, which was expected to win the National Assembly.

The election results yielded a majority for the Pakistan Peoples Party in the National Assembly, and in the Provincial Assembly of Sindh.

On 27 December, al-Qaeda commander Mustafa Abu al-Yazid is said to have claimed responsibility for the assassination, telling several news outlets that "We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat [the] mujahideen."

In his statement to the media, he further claimed that al-Yazid stated that al-Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri ordered the killing in October 2007.

Al-Zawahiri was a close associate of Osama Bin Laden for years. 

But he was never part of "The Bin Laden Group" or "The Board" - he didn't need to be.

He had his own group, and they were very prolific - Egyptian Islamic Jihad. And had a way better name than "The Board".

The Blind Sheikh, Omar Rahman and his New Jersey cell that included Ramzi Yousef and others were all members of EIJ - not "The Board".

As was Khalid Sheikh Muhammed (KSM), the now-publicaly acknowledged "Mastermind behind 9/11".

If it's publicly admitted and known, and openly stated even on Fox News that KSM was behind both the 1993 WTC Bombing and 9/11, drank alcohol, chased strippers, snorted drugs and spoke perfect English (just like "lead hijacker" Mohammed Atta in Venice, Florida).... why the hell are we still talking about Osama Bin Laden and his non-existent organisation as the perpetrator and Islamic Fundamentalism as the motivation for 9/11 when both of those are verifiably false, even in the superficial modified-limited-hangout "official" story...?
(*ahem* batshit-crazy conspiracy theory)

These men were not devout, observant Muslims, violated the Quraan' s teachings on Jihad and rules of engagement about 18 different ways and were not acting on orders or funding from Osama Bin Laden, against his will and without his knowledge.

So why are we still talking about this in those terms?

Asia Times Online also reported that it had received a claim of responsibility from al-Yazid by telephone.

U.S. intelligence officials have said that they cannot confirm this claim of responsibility. Nonetheless, U.S. analysts have said that al-Qaeda was a likely, or even Prime Suspect.

For its part, the Pakistani Interior Ministry (of the previous Musharraf administration) stated that it had proof that al-Qaeda was behind the assassination, stating

"that the suicide bomber belonged to Lashkar-e-Jhangvi – an al Qaeda-linked Sunni Muslim militant group that the government has blamed for hundreds of killings".

Fine - what about The Gunman?

Who ordered the Blackwater Security stand-down? Their personnel clearly were not there.

And how can a group be linked to that which does not exist?

All reputable Western intelligence experts confirm, categorically, in plain terms:

1) "The Al-Qaeda that attacked us on 9/11 no longer exists."

2) "Al-Qaeda completely ceased to exist by 2006"

The Interior Ministry also claimed to have intercepted a statement by militant leader Baitullah Mehsud, said to be linked to al-Qaeda, in which he congratulated his followers for carrying out the assassination.

On 29 December a Mehsud spokesman told the Associated Press that Mehsud was not involved in the assassination:

"I strongly deny it. Tribal people have their own customs. We don't strike women. It is a conspiracy by government, military and intelligence agencies."He's right.

"Abd Allah reported, A woman was found among the killed in one of the battles of the Prophet (pbuh), so The Messenger of Allah forbade the killing of women and children."

— Hadith B.56:147

 

"And fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but be not aggressive. Surely Allah loves not the aggressors.

And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, and persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it; so if they fight you there, slay them. Such is the recompense of disbelievers.

But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

And fight them until there is no persecution, and religion is only for Allah. But if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors."

— II:190-195

 The Pakistan Peoples Party also called the government's blame of Mehsud a diversion:

"The story that al-Qaida or Baitullah Mehsud did it appears to us to be a planted story, an incorrect story, because they want to divert the attention," 

said Farhatullah Babar, a spokesman for Bhutto's party.

On 18 January 2008, CIA Director Michael Hayden claimed that Mehsud and his network was responsible.

Mustafa Ahmed Muhammad Uthman Abu al-Yazid (مصطفى أحمد محمد عثمان أبو اليزيد), better known as Saeed al-Masri (سعيد المصري) or simply al-Masri (المصري = the Egyptian), (December 17, 1955 – May 21, 2010)

Along with Mahfouz Ould al-Walid and Saif al-Adel, al-Masri was believed to have opposed the September 11 attacks two months prior to their execution.

He was killed in a targeted killing drone airstrike in Pakistan on May 21, 2010.

His Death was confirmed by US officials and al-Qaeda. Presumably, it was a joint statement.


"There is nothing that is worth mentioning about [al-Masri] and we cannot classify him as being one of the well-known leaders that rotated within Al-Qa'ida during at least the past ten years...he is not one of the well-known leaders. ”

The Ron and Dennis Show: A Fascist Sock Puppet Double Act

Kucinich is in on this Fascist Coup plot as well.

He's providing Left Cover in his little demonic duo with his best pal Ron Paul.


It's absolutely untrue that Obama has done anything impeachable, or even wrong.


The people of Libya overthrew Col Gaddafi, not the US military.


It was accomplished without a single US boot on the ground.


He just arranged to lend them the guns. That's what Ambassador Stevens' mission was all about, collecting back in the lend-lease weapons from the Libyan countryside and tranferring them to Syria via the Turks to achieve the same aim.




Stevens mission was to prevent leaving thousands of automatic weapons lying around a country without a functioning and strong Central Government, as had been the case after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in the early 1990s.


That's not responsible.


There was no need for a declaration of war any more than when Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease Act to get urgently needed military supplies to Britain in World War II.


This is America First bullshit worthy of Charles Lindberg

The other half of the Right-Left pincer movement.


This is similarly untrue, although it sounds nice.


Who controls the oil in Iraq? The US.


Who controls the oil in Libya? The Libyan people.


How much Libyan oil historically has or does currently got sold to US markets? Precisely zero.


It has always and will always primarily be sold across the Med to Europe. And throughout the entire Gaddadi period post-2001, it has been pumped, sold and brought to market exclusively by British Petroleum, who have sole exploitation rights.


Not EXXON, AMACO or any of the US based oil companies.


The oil is totally irrelevant.


This was purely a humanitarian intervention on the side of the Libyan people to give them the means to chose their own system of government and overthrow their oppressors.




And that's a GOOD thing...

Providing Air Cover is not an Act of War, otherwise the plan to provide Air Cover at the Bay of Pigs would have been an Act of War against Cuba

It certainly isn't an Act of War when it's specifically authorised and sanctioned by both the General Assembly and the Security Council of the United Nations as part of a multilateral support effort to aid the oppressed peoples of that particular country achieve a degree of self-determination by giving them the means to overthrow their oppressors and give them a fighting chance to choose their own system of government.

So what have War Making Powers got to do with it?

The US bombed Iraq every single year from 1991 until 2001, enforcing the UN imposed No-Fly Zone and never needed a declaration of war, because it was internationally sanctioned and approved.





For the record, Thomas Jefferson invaded Libya, using the United States Marine Corps in 1801 and never told the Congress about it on purpose until they were already deployed and on-station off Tripoli and it was too late to prevent the attack from going ahead.

And Thomas Jefferson was awesome.
