- The latest airline terror threat by Abdulmutallab, the
underwear bomber, was as phony as the previous shoe bomber Richard Reid.
A terrorist wannabe simple can't set off plastic explosives with a match
or chemicals that create a mild flame. It takes a blasting cap or very
high intensity flame. If even low ranking military people know this, certainly
the government's blame-all, super-powerful and infinitely-resourceful,
terrorist creation, al Qaeda, knows it. Nevertheless, the hype of endless
government spokespersons and media pundits covering this story non-stop
is being used to justify yet another terror offensive--this time in lowly
Yemen, a key choke point in the oil tanker network of the Middle East.
The hapless public, in turn, is going to have to endure another escalation
in body searches in order to save us from terror. The shoe bomb threat
required that everyone remove their shoes during airport screening, but
that simply shifted explosives concealment to another part of the body.
Now the public is going to be forced to submit to a "digital strip
search" during screening, and even that won't catch certain explosives
hidden inside internal body cavities.
-
- Jerry Mazza an editor with the Online Journal summarizes
the problems with the official story [with my comments and corrections
in brackets]: "Returning to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt to
blow up a Northwest airliner on Christmas day, let's scan the body of evidence
for government lies, the real explosive elements. Let's give Umar a good
dose of radiation with the knowledge that first reveals the 80 grams of
[powdered] PETN he carried in his crotch lacked a blasting cap to blow
him and the plane away. Instead, lighting with an injection of liquid did
nothing but set him on fire--as if no one in the military or intelligence
knew that!
-
- Then theirs is the issue of al Qaeda's rush to take credit
for this botched bombing attempt. What self-respecting terrorist organization
would be anxious to take credit for this embarrassingly ill conceived attempt
on an airliner--unless, of course, they were instructed to do so by the
black operation masterminds who control certain "terror"
-
- "John McCarthy, retired Marine captain from the
Vietnam War clued me via email: 'Jerry, the false flaggers forgot that
a blasting cap is required to detonate PETN and other plastic explosives
[They didn't forget. They knew the press wouldn't even bring it up, just
as they didn't when discussing the shoe bomber]. Sure, it will burn and
we used it in winter to heat our cans of food, but a blasting cap is missing
from the mix. So, the PTB [Powers That Be] wanted to raise the fear factor,
which this incident did, without loss of life and a $75 million dollar
airplane [Using a no-damage "attack" allows them to leverage
off of a created crisis without the large loss of life that induces the
public to demand that heads roll] . . . now the Israeli firms that make
the full body scanners will reap millions!' [Somehow the US government
was prescient enough to have placed large orders for additional full-body
scanners a few months prior to this incident. Did they know something the
public doesn't?]
-
- "Also, another former Marine combat captain, Gordon
Duff, wrote in Veterans Today, Evidence Mounts for US Complicity in Terrorism,
"We do know a couple of things. His dad [Alhaji Umaru Abdulmutallab],
back in Nigeria, ran the national arms industry (DICON) in partnership
with Israel, in particular, the Mossad. He was in daily contact with them
[This could be true, but Duff gives us absolutely no documentation to support
this. These types of statements comes from anonymous government leakers
who regularly leak to Debka, Wayne Madsen and Duff but provide nothing
to trace or check up on. Beware of conspiracy disinformation]. They run
everything in Nigeria, from arms production to counter-terrorism. Though
Islamic, Abdulmutallab was a close associate of Israel. He has been misrepresented.
His 'banking' is a cover [Not really a cover. The father is a high-level
professional accountant and has worked in Nigerian banking for years, and
he also sits on the many boards of large corporations in Nigeria. This
type of person may well have board responsibilities with DICON but I don't
think an accountant type is going to be running the day to day affairs
of a black operation. This would, however, give him ample reason for having
alerted the US embassy of his son's radical associations--which few normal
parents would do].
-
- "Next, what do we know about the two Al Qaeda leaders
Bush had released, the ones who planned this [And how would the government
even know details like who planned this unless they had informants or agent
provocateurs deep inside?]? According to ABC news, the Al Qaeda leaders
running the insurgency in Yemen were released from Guantanamo, although
two of the highest ranking known terrorists there, without trial. 'Guantanamo
prisoner #333, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi, and prisoner #372, Said Ali Shari,
were sent to Saudi Arabia on Nov. 9, 2007, according to the Defense Department
log of detainees who were released from American custody. Both of the former
Guantanamo detainees are described as military commanders and appear on
a January 2009 video, along with the man described as the top leader of
al Qaeda in Yemen, Abu Basir Naser al-Wahishi, formerly Osama bin Laden's
personal secretary.' With all the hoopla about trials in New York, not
a word is said when top level terrorists are released to Saudi friends
of the Bush family who let them go. We are now fighting these two Bush
friends in Yemen. They are running a major insurgency there [Frankly, this
is doubtful. No low or medium level terrorist gets out of prison after
years in detention and steps in to run the show. Still it is very strange
that if the feds knew this kind of background information, why did they
release them, unless they intended to provoke more terror?].
-
- What Did the US Know Beforehand? "The CIA admits
in its November 29, 2009, interview with Papa Abdulmutallab, they were
told that his son had ties to extremists in Yemen, a hotbed of al Qaeda
activity. The information was not acted on responsibly." FoxNews says
that "The CIA's Africa desk had been preparing a report on the suspect
in the Christmas Day airline plot well before the attempted attack but
did not distribute it because the analyst in charge was waiting for pictures
of the young Nigerian. Sources cite this as a main reason President Obama
declared Tuesday that a 'systemic failure' had occurred in the run-up to
the attempted attack aboard a Northwest Airlines flight."
-
- "One official described the CIA report as containing
a 'more extensive description' of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's travel and
contacts, which could have been used to keep him off the plane. The National
Counterterrorism Center already had learned about Abdulmutallab and added
his name to a terror database of more than a half-million people, but he
had not been added to the smaller 'no-fly' list or another list that requires
secondary screening at airports."
-
- Homeland Security chimed in that they had Abdulmutallab
on a list and were planning on interviewing him upon arrival in Detroit.
How convenient--always claiming they were just a day late. Incredibly,
US officials told CBS news that "It was only after the Christmas Day
terror attack in Detroit that U.S. officials learned that Abdulmuttalab
had been issued a visa by the U.S. Embassy in London valid from June 16,
2008, through June 12, 2010." Really? Let's take that apart:
-
- According to the AP "British intelligence officials
knew that the Nigerian man suspected of trying to bomb a Detroit-bound
airliner had ties to U.K. extremists but did not consider him enough of
a high risk to alert American authorities, a senior British official said
Sunday [Absolutely bogus. The Brits share all their terror lists with the
US]. Officials realized about a year after Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab came
to London to study in 2005 that he was in contact with Islamic extremists
whose communications were being monitored." That means he was on their
lists when he applied for a US visa in 2008. These excuses are all a bit
too convenient and appear to be coming out to foreclose any public conclusion
about foreknowledge. Anyone from a foreign country knows how detailed and
scrutinizing the interviews are when applying for a US visa-and most are
rejected. There are files kept on every visa application at the Embassy,
and this terrorist surely has one. Why has no one produced it? It would
surely show violations of visa issuance policy.
-
- Was Abdulmutallab Acting Alone? There is a major contradiction
here in the story. As reviewed by Wayne Madsen, "Michigan attorney
Kurt Haskell and his attorney wife Lori Haskell are being pilloried by
the corporate media after the two were featured on major U.S. television
networks. Haskell and his wife witnessed a 'well-dressed Indian man' arrange
for Mutallab to board Delta 253 without a passport at the check-in desk
at Schiphol [Amsterdam airport]. Haskell told CBS News: 'Only the Indian
man spoke, and what he said was, this man needs to board the plane, and
he doesn't have a passport. And the ticket agent then responded saying
you need a passport to board the plane, and the Indian man then said he's
[a refugee] from Sudan. We do this all the time.'
-
- "WMR [Wayne Madsen Reports features leaks from claimed
insider sources all the time. But this can't happen without being permitted
by governments because they surveil all communications--especially to anti-government
types who are all too willing to accept leaks without scrutiny] has learned
that the Indian man is suspected by Asian intelligence services of being
a RAW [India Intel Service] agent who used his influence to convince airline
and airport security personnel that Mutallab was a bona fide Sudanese refugee.
Mutallab reportedly spent several hours in a Schiphol airport lounge before
boarding the Delta flight. Dutch agents are reportedly scanning Schiphol
CCTV footage and have reason to believe that Mutallab had accomplices at
the airport, which bolsters the witness accounts of the Haskells."
-
- Actually, this is not the case. The Dutch claim now to
have reviewed all the video tapes at the airline gate and claim Abdulmutallab
was alone the entire time. Either the Haskells or the Dutch government
are lying. Both accounts can't be true. I'm not taking the government side
here either. Every European government has falsified evidence and covered-up
for black operations in the past. This could be another example.
-
- Yet, there are other problems with the Haskell story.
Why would Mutallab show up at the airport without his passport? He had
to have one to get his US Visa and he even used it on his visit to Yemen,
as admitted by the Yemenese government. The gate agent, according to Haskell
did not accept the refugee excuse and all apparently went to see a supervisor.
Frankly, there are no exceptions to the passport requirement. Even if they
made one, the Dutch would certainly have known that US Customs would have
refused him entry and would have turned him around to be flown back to
Amsterdam--with a letter of reprimand to the Dutch authorities.
-
- I'm just not buying this "failure to produce a passport"
story. How would he have gotten into Europe from Africa without a passport?
It is not true that refugees do this all the time! The only time it does
occur is if refugees are captured at sea heading for shore, but then they
are already in the custody of the authorities--not some Indian handler
who is trying to lead a refugee through an airport without documentation.
Besides, the underwear bomber would have needed both a passport and a visa
to travel to the US--so getting through without a passport is only half
the requirement.
-
- That said, if Abdulmutallab were drugged up (as implied
by Haskell's description of his bent over and weak demeanor) this would
mean a mind-controlled person was set up to do the suicide bombing (See
my book reviewof Joseph Douglass' book "Betrayed" below for more
information on the use of drugs for mind control). Let's assume he forgot
or misplaced his passport. If the Indian accomplice did exist, he certainly
could have been Abdulmutallab's handler, and charged with getting him through
the check-in procedure. And, if this were a British and/or US black operation,
the handler certainly could have told the supervisor to call a certain
number in the government and get an exception to the passport rule.
-
- But even then, why would a black operation raise red
flags with employees or supervisors in Holland who would then have to be
silenced later on during an investigation, when they could simply use the
passport and visa we know he already had? Of course, all this is easily
verifiable or deniable by the FBI who arrested Mutallab in Detroit and
has all his possessions in custody. The Haskell interview got on several
mainstream sources, so why hasn't the FBI released his passport to show
the story is false? And, why doesn't the media ask these questions?
-
- There are other anomalies that have taken place in the
tense hours after the plane landed that indicate that the government
has reason to cover something up. As in the OKC bombing cover-up, the FBI
and other security agencies involved seem intent on covering up the identity
of an accomplice on the same Flight 253.
