    8 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    18 comments

    Wow, al Qaeda must be the stupidest terrorists, no wait, stupidest people period, on this entire planet. Their purported goal is to shake the will of the western powers that have invaded Iraq, and to drive them out, no? Then can someone please explain to me the logic of the London bombings? No seriously, it is time to apply logic to these events. Please do not hand me the nonsense about these people being “killers” who do not apply logic. You do not become the number one terrorist (…)

A total of 1,730 of our troops have died in Iraq thus far and at least 13,000 have (…)

    "Why, of course, the people don’t want war, (but) the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." Hermann Goering, April 18, 1946
    There’s a reason why President Bush’s speech on Iraq last week went unheard by most Americans and hasn’t changed his sagging poll numbers. He and his (…)

    Israel Warned United Kingdom About Possible Attacks Summary
    There has been massive confusion over a denial made by the Israelis that the Scotland Yard had warned the Israeli Embassy in London of possible terrorist attacks “minutes before” the first bomb went off July 7. Israel warned London of the attacks a “couple of days ago,” but British authorities failed to respond accordingly to deter the attacks, according to an unconfirmed rumor circulating in intelligence circles. While Israel is (…)

  • THE LAVON AFFAIR IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF?
    7 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    British and American targets have been bombed before, and the evidence seemed to point to a specific perpetrator. But the evidence was faked. In 1954, Israeli agents working in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and left evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. The ruse would have worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which in turn led to the (…)
