  • London plot thickens, as does propaganda

    July 18, 2005-As was the case following 9/11 and all post-9/11 "terror" events, an official new propaganda legend is being constructed to justify whatever Anglo-American-Israeli aggression that is sure to follow.
    Meanwhile, the list of unanswered questions, irregularities, and inconsistencies continues to grow, along with dramatically zigzagging cover stories and anti-Muslim agitation. Another large-scale government and media deception is well underway.
    Two recent observations by the (…)

  • Ordinary Fascism
    19 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Lord Chancellor told BBC News under new laws people “attacking the values of the West” and “glorifying the acts of suicide bombers” would be imprisoned for “long periods” and “deported wherever possible”, but no law could stop terrorism altogether.
    We always obeyed the law. Isn’t that what you do in America? Even if you don’t agree with a law personally, you still obey it. Otherwise life would be chaos. - Gertrude Scholtz-Klink, chief of the Women’s Bureau under Hitler explaining the (…)

    EVIL IDEOLOGY
    By Peter Fredson
    July 18, 2005
    Newspapers today reported an extension of the Christian Morality Play by Tony Blair that explains everything people have been eagerly awaiting to hear about the Iraq war, terrorism and assorted suicide bombings. Here is the genial theory in a nutshell:
    “ASSOCIATED PRESS 2005-07-17 07:09:54” “LONDON — Prime Minister Tony Blair warned yesterday that an "evil ideology" of Islamic extremism was bent on spreading terror through the West, (…)

  • Who are the British authorities trying to protect?
    18 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Since even British officials are now backing off from the theory that the London bombs were the work of men who intended to be suicide bombers, we are left with trying to determine what the four of them thought they were doing.
    The authorities would like us to believe (or here) that their Islamic terrorist handler misled them into believing that the timers in the bags was set so that they could get away before the bombs went off. That still doesn’t explain why they seemed so cavalier about (…)

  • What the Hell is Congress doing? It’s time to Sweep the House

    What the Hell is Congress doing? Government lying and corruption has been exposed like never before and Congress is still naming Post Offices! After the ground-breaking Downing Street Memo Hearing last month- Bush and Cheney should be under full investigation if not behind bars by now.
    Most DC Democrats won’t even talk about the memo...
    ... and those that do only go so far as to ask for an inquiry. The evidence is already public knowledge- we don’t need no stinkin’ inquiry, we need (…)

  • Mathias Broeckers and the Gladio al-Qaeda Op

    Mathias Broeckers’ blog (badly translated from the German by Google) reveals an interesting bit of information: the so-called London suicide bombers had purchased round-trip tickets, according to the British newspaper the Mirror. “The London bombers may have been duped into killing themselves so their secrets stayed hidden,” writes Jeff Edwards for the Mirror. In response to this revelation, British police are pushing the line that the “al-Qaeda handlers” of the bombers duped the unwitting (…)

  • The barbaric and the civilized

    It is unanimous that the dastardly bomb attacks in London on July 7, 2005 were a barbaric act. There is no other way of describing the planned, premeditated targeting of civilians. It is political violence of this sort that constitutes stark, naked terrorism.
    While all of us would regard the terrorist act that occurred on 7/7 as barbaric, some of us would be deeply disturbed by statements attributed to British and American leaders in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy which sought to (…)

  • Legalised Brutality - The New Face Of America

    Legalised Brutality - The New Face Of America Andrew Sullivan July 17, 2005 The terror attack on London is perhaps an appropriate background for an official report into the detention policies at Guantanamo Bay. We live in a world where the rules of even guerrilla warfare have shifted towards deeper and deeper levels of barbarism. It would be highly unlikely that western societies are not changed in response. Some loss of liberty is inevitable; some fraying of freedom and the rules of (…)

  • Occupation Begets Bombers

    Occupation Begets Bombers Michael Harris, Toronto Sun July 15, 2005 Watching your citizens blown to bits is not the best of invitations to reflection.
    Older, more basic instincts are engaged; fury, hatred and a lust for revenge. All three of those emotions have been on display in Britain this past week in the wake of the vicious tube and bus bombings that killed scores of innocent people and maimed hundreds of others.
    Since the suicide-bombings in London, there have been seven days of (…)

    REP JIM MORAN: What I would like to do is to get back to why we did do it. We understand that the reasons that we were given were part of an endemic pattern of deceit. They were not the real reason. But what do you think was the real reason?
    It’s been suggested that the oil companies were concerned Saddam was giving contracts to Russia and France, and maybe that’s what it was, we wanted to get control over (…)
