Something is Rotten in the State of Denmark
By Anwaar Hussain
A huge ‘terror plot’ has just been uncovered in London. “This was intended to be mass murder on an unimaginable scale” say the London Metropolitan police. Britain's terror alert, accordingly, has been ratcheted up to its highest-ever level with security services, military and police now on “severe specific” alert.
Not to be left behind, even though the list of unanswered questions, irregularities, and discrepancies continues to grow with each passing hour, the obedient Western media jumped at the occasion ensuring a spate of spectacular cover stories and anti-Muslim tirade.
As usual, though the facts are still coming in, the media is dutifully following the open-ended cues provided by the US and British governments, and reproducing the handed-down script without a pause for the facts to emerge fully. With an indecent haste, government enforcers have already slapped ridiculous restrictions on travelers, with mother's having to taste baby milk before they board planes and all hand luggage, including liquid drinks, being banned.
If there indeed was such a plot, then by its uncovering innocent lives surely have been saved and just in time too. If not, then let us thank God for that and hasten to analyze the event from a slightly closer quarter as it has happened a little too conveniently for certain personages of rather dubious repute and vile agenda.
Consider the following.
The Anglo-USraeli juggernaut is on a roll and under fire at the same time. George Bush’s Iraq jaunt has spun out of control with his own top General now openly admitting the possibility (read happening already) of a civil war in that unfortunate country. With the US president’s ‘war on terror’ now thoroughly discredited by renowned policy specialists, his approval ratings stand at a historical worst for any President of United States in opinion polls. Tony Blair is beleaguered by his own party men for his sycophantic support of Zionist extremists. Israel is getting some lessons in humility from the rag tag Hezbollah fighters raising fears among its supporters in the West. Iran not only remains defiant over its nuclear program but also continues to provide both overt and covert support to Hezbollah and Hamas. Syria, uncompromising as ever, watches on quietly for now yet ready to jump into the melee come the calling. In short, it is a mess and THE ISLAMISTS are clearly responsible for all this. Undoubtedly, a single major distraction capable of killing a whole slew of nasty birds was the crying need of the time.
Not surprisingly, therefore, clichés that are the corner stone of Anglo-American policy for global hegemony like ‘Islamic Terror’, 'Bin Laden', 'Jihaadis', ‘Al-Qaeda style attack’, ‘suicide bombers’ and ‘security of Western citizens’ etc. are back with a bang with this latest buildup. The smear machine has had gallons of oil thrown onto its creaking cogs and is in full gear instantly. At the same time, to breathe new life into the stalling agenda of their masters, crawling out of the woodwork are these states’ instruments of coercion and control such as the CIA, MI6, Mossad and affiliated intelligence agencies, like Pakistan's ISI.
Statistical analysis has now conclusively proven that every time Blair and Bush slump in approval ratings, a fresh terror alert gives them a rebound back up the charts. Every single major terror alert, hear this, issued by the US, Canadian or UK governments has proven to be either a contrived facade, a setup sting operation or an out-and-out fraud.
But then why not a full blown 9/11 as predicted by many, self included? Why this just-in-time-uncovering of the plots (e.g. Toronto, Florida, the earlier London plot etc) only days/weeks before the supposed attempts, one may ask?
The answer probably lies in the 9/11 truth movement being on the crest of a wave of media exposure. Distinguished scientific minds and brave citizens have now blown open the lid on evidence of government sponsored terror and how they control the society through the power of nightmares. The movement itself, already on the lens of quite a few main stream media big names like C-Span, is about to burst out full time from the sidelines into the middle of the road. Similarly, just like the 9/11, the July 2005 London bombings too, have been now proven to be a British intelligence operation and the alleged ringleader, Mohammed Siddique Khan, to be working for MI5.
That there are still men and women out there clearly able to see through the charade and call it for what it is, is now the fear of the fear-mongers. It seems that the powers that be have learnt a lesson that it is better to ‘discover plots just in time’ rather than once again be the agents of unashamed criminality in the annihilation of their own citizens and become a focus of relentless attention of the truth seekers--for now at least.
Who are the patsies this time, will be clearer in the days to come. As we await more news to come out, it would be worth our while to refresh our memories about some of the past flag operations carried out by certain Western security agencies through their patsies. Infowars has an interesting list.
The Mohammed Atta who operated within the USA attended the Defense Language Institute at Monterey.
U.S. military sources had given the FBI information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the 9/11 planes that were used that terror attack received training at secure U.S. military installations in the 1990s.
Three of the alleged hijackers listed their address on driver licenses and car registrations as the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla.—known as the “Cradle of U.S. Navy Aviation,” according to a high-ranking U.S. Navy source.
On 29 July 2005, on FOX News Channel's Day Side programme, there was a claim by Former US Justice Dept. prosecutor John Loftus that the 'mastermind' of the 7/7 London Bombings, Haroon Rashid Aswat, worked for MI6 (British intelligence).
A Kuwaiti citizen Omar Al-Faruq who allegedly was the mastermind in the Bali bomb plot was arrested in Bogor, Indonesia, on June 5, 2002 and handed over to the US authorities. Former Indonesian State Intelligence Coordinating Board (BAKIN) chief A.C. Manulang was quoted by Tempo as saying that Al-Faruq is a CIA-recruited agent. A Pentagon official in Washington later confirmed that al-Faruq escaped from a U.S. detention facility in Bagram, Afghanistan, on 10 July 2005. Too convenient by half, I would say.
If this latest hype remains unexposed and the US-UK-Israeli aggressor bloc is able to somehow pin this newest fantasy on Hezbollah, Syria, or Iran, then given the imminent collapse of the Anglo-US imperialistic venture, and the unforeseen drawing out of the current Israeli offensive in Lebanon, this new stunt threatens to take the world into a general war.
As the grateful Bush-Blair combo, the chief beneficiaries of the purported plot, play out their jaded routine in front a servile media, it is time to ring some bells. This large-scale joint psyops of Western governments and media shows that something is not only rotten in the state of Denmark; something far more sinister is afoot.

The Madsen Reportby Wayne MadsenAug. 11, 2006 -- UPDATED. According to knowledgeable sources in the UK and other countries, the Tony Blair government, under siege by a Labor Party revolt, cleverly cooked up a new "terror" scare to avert the public's eyes away from Blair's increasing political woes. British law enforcement; neo-con and intelligence operatives in the United States, Israel, and Britain; and Rupert Murdoch's global media empire cooked up the terrorist plot, liberally borrowing from the failed 1995 "Oplan Bojinka" plot by Pakistan- and Philippines-based terrorist Ramzi Ahmad Yousef to crash 11 trans-Pacific airliners bound from Asia to the United States. In the latest plot, it is reported that liquid bombs were to be detonated on 10 trans-Atlantic planes outbound from Britain to the United States. British and American authorities permitted a man with a liquid bomb to board a U.S.-bound flight in Heathrow on Aug. 6 -- the pilot foiled secret UK-US attempt to hype an incident en route to or at Boston Logan. The London terror plan was "known" last Sunday by British and American authorities, according to the Indian press. American Airlines flight 109 from London Heathrow to Boston boarded a family of five, however, after the plane left Heathrow authorities determined that the father appeared on a British suspect list drawn up after the 7/7 London transit attacks. At first, the pilot was instructed to fly all the way to Boston where U.S. authorities could claim credit for apprehending the suspect. However, the pilot, fearing for the safety of his passengers and crew, refused and quickly returned to Heathrow without informing the passengers. Once on the ground, it was discovered that the male had in his carry-on baggage the type of combination liquid explosive and electronic device now being hyped by the British and American media. British sources report that the reason for the delay in informing the airlines and traveling public about the liquid bomb on the American flight was to maximize the beneficial political impact for Blair and George W. Bush, both plummeting in the polls from the situations in Iraq and Lebanon. Earlier this week, two employees of Murdoch's London tabloid, News of the World, were charged with hacking into the voice and text cell phone messages of three members of the staff of Clarence House, the residence of Princes Charles, William, and Harry. One of those charged with the wiretapping was Clive Goodman, the Royals editor of the News of the World. The same paper earlier tried to politically damage two anti-Iraq war British politicians -- Scottish Socialist Tommy Sheridan and Respect Party MP George Galloway. The paper charges that Sheridan was unfaithful to his wife by going to swinger's clubs. He won a quarter million dollar lawsuit against the paper. Galloway was confronted by Mazher Mahmood, an individual who uses the moniker "Fake Sheik," who posed as a wealthy Arab businessman and tried unsuccessfully to get Galloway to accept cash and make anti-Semitic remarks. In fact, Mahmood was and continues to be a reporter for News of the World, his continued employment approved by Murdoch. Goodman has merely been suspended by Murdoch but he has not been fired. Murdoch uncovered Prince Charles-Gordon Brown plot to oust Blair. Phony terror plan cooked up to derail political coup plans. However, what prompted Murdoch and Blair to hype a new global "terror" threat was what Murdoch learned from eavesdropping on the phone calls of Prince Charles' staff at the future king's office, home, and limousine. The eavesdropping revealed that Charles was working with Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown, who is to the left of Blair, to conduct the same type of political maneuver that John Major used to oust Margaret Thatcher from office. London's left-wing Mayor, Ken Livingston, was also in on the Charles-Brown plan and it was expected that in return for his support, Livingston would get a senior position in a Brown cabinet -- a development that sent shock waves through the neo-con circles in London, Washington, and Jerusalem, including British Home Secretary John Reid and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. The Charles-Brown plan was briefed by Blair to Bush during the former's recent visit to Washington. However, because the phony terror plot was known to both leaders -- they decided to be away on vacation when the terror plot was "uncovered." Bush is vacationing at his Crawford, Texas "ranch," while Blair is on vacation in Barbados, staying at Sir Cliff Richard's luxurious villa. After Blair met with Bush in Washington, he flew to California where on July 30 he attended Murdoch's News Corporation private corporate executive conference at the posh Inn at Spanish Bay golf resort in Pebble Beach. Blair met with Murdoch, Israeli former Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Newt Gingrich, and various Fox, Star, and Sky News executives. The final touches were agreed to by Blair and Murdoch on how the fake terror plot would play out in Murdoch's media empire. Airline terror plot cooked up by Blair, Bush, and Murdoch to save Tony's political ass. Blair told Bush that a Brown government would move to withdraw British troops from Iraq, break the "special relationship" with the Bush White House, and move closer to the European Union and the United Nations. The Israeli attack on Lebanon created a rift within Blair's Cabinet with some former Blair loyalists signaling their support for the political coup against Blair. As a result, a suspect passenger was permitted to board an American aircraft at Heathrow with a liquid bomb to lay the groundwork for the media and travel hysteria five days later. Final touches on fake terror plot were agreed to by Blair and Murdoch at July 30 News Corp/Fox VIP meeting at the Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, California. The wiretapping of Charles' messages also indicated that he has weighed in with various European royal families to discourage them from inviting Bush on state visits to their nations. This, reportedly upset the Bush and Blair regimes, who were working together to improve Bush's image in Europe. The White House's displeasure with the monarchies in Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg, and Norway are a direct result of the Murdoch eavesdropping on Charles' staff. Murdoch-Bush-Blair perception management hoax: Be afraid, be very afraid. Not surprisingly, after Galloway tore into a Sky News reporter on a recent televised interview, The Sun, a Murdoch paper, is now reporting that one of the 24 British aircraft liquid bomber suspects now under arrest, Waheed Zaman, met with Galloway "many times." The paper quotes the sister of the suspect. A Galloway spokesman denies that Galloway knows the suspect. What is suspect is the Murdoch media empire that makes up news and commits illegal acts to provide cover for the false flag operations being conducted by Britain, the U.S., and Israel. Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) agency has helped provide the cover story for the alleged liquid bombers. Working with British and U.S. intelligence, the ISI says it broke up the plot after arresting terrorist suspects in Lahore and Karachi. However, the ISI claims that the men were affiliated with the Kashmiri terrorist group Lashkar-e-Toiba, a group that is run and funded by the ISI itself. The disclosure of the Charles-Brown plot has already created a backlash from the neo-cons. The Murdoch media is already floating the rumor that Home Secretary Reid is now Blair's chosen successor, while there will be an effort to scandalize Charles in an effort to convince the British public that it would be best to skip over him and have Prince William assume the throne upon Queen Elizabeth's death or abdication. British commentators are noting that it is Reid, a noted neo-con, who is chairing national security "Cobra" meetings in Blair's absence. Blair bypassed Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott and many political observers believe that Prescott was passed over because of evidence that he was involved in supporting the Charles-Brown coup. Prescott chaired Cobra meetings in the wake of the July 7, 2005 (7/7) London transit bombings. Meanwhile, Republican governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mitt Romney used the occasion to boost their sagging popularity by placing their states' National Guardsmen at major airports in their states.

MEDIA-PAKISTAN: Taliban Wins Hearts and Minds With Gory Videos
This story sent a red flag up in my mind. Since the "Terror Plot" in the West has been seen for what it was: shot full of holes and the public isn't buying it, I wonder if "some influential people" thought to try a new spin elsewhere. You know, do what they do best, incite hatred, separation, and violence; give the Americans and Europeans some cause for believing in and fearing "terrorist groups." Why not use Pakistan and Afghanistan? "They" could then use Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) agency, who works closely with British and U.S. intelligence, as a driving force behind stories of regrouping of the Taliban and al-Qaeda. I am also wondering: WHO REALLY MADE AND SUPPLIED THESE DVDS? Maybe I'm wrong but I just wanted to share some thoughts that came to mind as I read the following article. I also got a whiff of something with a malodorous smell about it.......MichelleTaliban Wins Hearts and Minds With Gory VideosAshfaq Yusufzai PESHAWAR, Aug 14 (IPS) - The terror and agony on the faces of the two men, chained to the rear of a moving vehicle and dragged over a rough, unpaved road, are vivid. Relief comes in the shape of a dagger that slits their throats, to shouted cries of Allah-o-Akbar (God is great) in the background.
The camera then pans to an electricity pole from which the twitching bodies of the two men are strung up, as crowds of people watch in shock and awe. This is not a scene out of a Hollywood thriller but clips of a Taliban-style public execution, captured live and circulated on DVD (Digitial Video Discs) format in the local markets of this frontier town. The victims, according to the sound bytes and script on the discs, had just paid the price for extorting money from the public. Since the toppling of the Taliban government in Afghanistan in 2001, U.S.-led coalition forces have maintained pressure on the remnants of the Islamist regime, driving them into hideouts along the rough country that forms the porous border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. But, with support from their ethnic Pashtun kin, that inhabit both sides of the frontier, the Taliban has re-emerged and is now waging a successful guerilla war against the government in Kabul of President Hamid Karzai, that is supported by U.S.-led coalition troops and the Pakistani army. Taliban resurgence can be seen in the 1,600 soldiers, government officials, international contractors engaged in reconstruction, social workers and ordinary people they murdered in 2005. This year, they have continued with guerilla-style attacks and suicide bombings. Of late, the Taliban has also intensified a propaganda campaign to win the support of ordinary Muslims against the U.S. and its allies. One manifestation of this campaign is the production of DVDs designed to boost the morale of its fighters and also discourage people from supporting the U.S. in its ‘war on terror'. "These (DVDS) are designed to counter the U.S. propaganda against the Taliban, win the sympathy of the people and ensure nobody strays from the fold,'' said Jabbar Khan, a dealer in Taliban DVDs in Karkhano (Industrial) market near the border. "Priced nominally, people are buying the DVDs in packs. From here, these 30-minute discs are distributed throughout Pakistan and Afghanistan," said Haji Khudad Khan, another DVD dealer. Spreading the message of jihad against U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq supported by verses from the Quran, between 80 -100 discs are sold everyday in this market, the buyers being mostly impressionable young people. "Police have confiscated thousands of these DVDs àwe do not allow the business," said Peshawar city's police chief Habibur Rehman. But he added that people were buying and watching them anyway. "The DVDs depict the oppression of the U.S. forces against Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq in a way that moves the viewers to tears,'' said Maulana Gohar Ali, a local cleric. Bombardment of mosques and other holy places and shrines by the U.S. forces, and humiliation of Muslims are common themes in these productions. Bodies of men, women and children killed by the U.S. forces in Afghanistan are shown up in a way as to incite anger. Some of the more lurid DVDs, released by the Kandahar-based ‘Haqiqat ul Maut' (Real Death) studio, depict calls to Muslims to become suicide bombers -- ‘because it is the easiest way to kill the infidels'. "Be martyred. Go to paradise. Let the victims go to hell," exhorts an elderly man in one disc. In the background there is a blast and human body parts are shown scattered all over the place. Subsequently, a news bulletin tells the audience that 13 U.S. army men died in the blast. "Most of the scenes are so horrifying that sometimes, even hardened viewers are unable to watch them. They show how Taliban kills and inflicts injuries on members of the U.S. and allied forces,'' said Mohammad Shafi, 20, a college student, who spent time in Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban against the U.S. forces. The discs glorify suicide bombers and reveal losses inflicted by them on the U.S. army personnel and their Pakistani and Afghan supporters. "These DVDs are the handiwork of experts. They contain scenes spliced in from Hollywood movies so as to entice people into watching them,'' said a dealer showing samples with labels that that say ‘Ummat Studio' and ‘Kandahar Jihad Studio' -- though where exactly they are located is a mystery. Scripted in Urdu, Pashto and Arabic, some DVDs that roll out from the ‘Islamic Media Front Studio' and ‘Jundullah CD Centre' show Taliban fighters receiving and imparting training and also raw recruits signing up for the jihad. "First I used to watch Indian movies, but now I have switched over to watching Jihad DVDs because they are real stories," said Ishaq Khan, 22. He said that the Taliban is doing well to fight a media war against its enemy, instead of sticking to conventional battles. In one DVD, U.S. President George W Bush is shown addressing allied forces in Afghanistan -- but edited in such a way as to show him repenting U.S. intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq. Appropriate clips borrowed from Al Jazeera TV footage of Taliban fighters in action are spliced in. "This is a clear indication (in the DVDs) that the Taliban and al-Qaeda fugitives are re-grouping. And that they have the technology as well as expertise, to make things happen," said Ashraf Ali, a fellow at the University of Peshawar. Ali, who is doing research work on the Taliban, said it was difficult to eliminate its members because they present everywhere in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Every religious-minded guy can become a Taliban member at any given moment. "DVDs are a strange but effective tool adopted by the Taliban to justify its war against the U.S. After watching them, even educated and enlightened people end up supporting the Taliban," said Ali.

Michelle,
Every word of the article is true and there is no spin to it. The Taliban are resurgent once again and have already stopped the Pakistan Army's campaign there dead in its track. This is no conspiracy.
The hatred among common Pathans of the region against the Neocon led America has now reached a point that the radicals are doing a flourishing business in recruiting young impressionable youth for their cadres.
It could be a conspiracy in one and only one sense. And that is that the Neocons are deliberately stirring the pot so that the boil over can engulf the whole region. The more fundamentalist chaos, the better for them as they can then show the world the ugly face of the radical Islamists, justify their own hideous mission against them and also get away with their monumental crimes.
Thanks,
Anwaar
PS: In my opinion this post belonged more in 'The Neocons' Greatest Sin' thread. What say?

PS: In my opinion this post belonged more in 'The Neocons' Greatest Sin' thread. What say? Yes, Anwaar, my post could go there. As I read the article, it appeared to me that 'The Neocons' AND the 'The Hidden Hand' that directs their actions would benefit from more fundamentalist chaos. I have no doubt that the Pathans hate the Neocon led America. I can understand and sympathize with their anger. But I also worry for all the youth, anywhere, who get caught up in the chaos; they are seen and used merely as fodder for unending war and violence. I just wish ALL peoples would stop dead in their tracks and turn away from it all; refuse to fall into the game. The world certainly has become an Orwellian nightmare. Who knows what to think anymore? Michelle

The UK Terror plot: what's really going on?August 14, 2006 Craig Murray Writer and broadcaster As Britain's outspoken Ambassador to the Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan, Craig Murray helped expose vicious human rights abuses by the US-funded regime of Islam Karimov. He is now a prominent critic of Western policy in the region. Bio from site...MichelleThe UK Terror plot: what's really going on? I have been reading very carefully through all the Sunday newspapers to try and analyse the truth from all the scores of pages claiming to detail the so-called bomb plot. Unlike the great herd of so-called security experts doing the media analysis, I have the advantage of having had the very highest security clearances myself, having done a huge amount of professional intelligence analysis, and having been inside the spin machine. So this, I believe, is the true story. None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many did not even have passports, which given the efficiency of the UK Passport Agency would mean they couldn't be a plane bomber for quite some time.In the absence of bombs and airline tickets, and in many cases passports, it could be pretty difficult to convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt that individuals intended to go through with suicide bombings, whatever rash stuff they may have bragged in internet chat rooms. What is more, many of those arrested had been under surveillance for over a year - like thousands of other British Muslims. And not just Muslims. Like me. Nothing from that surveillance had indicated the need for early arrests. Then an interrogation in Pakistan revealed the details of this amazing plot to blow up multiple planes - which, rather extraordinarily, had not turned up in a year of surveillance. Of course, the interrogators of the Pakistani dictator have their ways of making people sing like canaries. As I witnessed in Uzbekistan, you can get the most extraordinary information this way. Trouble is it always tends to give the interrogators all they might want, and more, in a desperate effort to stop or avert torture. What it doesn't give is the truth. The gentleman being "interrogated" had fled the UK after being wanted for questioning over the murder of his uncle some years ago. That might be felt to cast some doubt on his reliability. It might also be felt that factors other than political ones might be at play within these relationships. Much is also being made of large transfers of money outside the formal economy. Not in fact too unusual in the British Muslim community, but if this activity is criminal, there are many possibilities that have nothing to do with terrorism. We then have the extraordinary question of Bush and Blair discussing the possible arrests over the weekend. Why? I think the answer to that is plain. Both in desperate domestic political trouble, they longed for "Another 9/11". The intelligence from Pakistan, however dodgy, gave them a new 9/11 they could sell to the media. The media has bought, wholesale, all the rubbish they have been shovelled. We then have the appalling political propaganda of John Reid, Home Secretary, making a speech warning us all of the dreadful evil threatening us and complaining that "Some people don't get" the need to abandon all our traditional liberties. He then went on, according to his own propaganda machine, to stay up all night and minutely direct the arrests. There could be no clearer evidence that our Police are now just a political tool. Like all the best nasty regimes, the knock on the door came in the middle of the night, at 2.30am. Those arrested included a mother with a six week old baby.For those who don't know, it is worth introducing Reid. A hardened Stalinist with a long term reputation for personal violence, at Stirling Univeristy he was the Communist Party's "Enforcer", (in days when the Communist Party ran Stirling University Students' Union, which it should not be forgotten was a business with a very substantial cash turnover). Reid was sent to beat up those who deviated from the Party line.We will now never know if any of those arrested would have gone on to make a bomb or buy a plane ticket. Most of them do not fit the "Loner" profile you would expect - a tiny percentage of suicide bombers have happy marriages and young children. As they were all under surveillance, and certainly would have been on airport watch lists, there could have been little danger in letting them proceed closer to maturity - that is certainly what we would have done with the IRA. In all of this, the one thing of which I am certain is that the timing is deeply political. This is more propaganda than plot. Of the over one thousand British Muslims arrested under anti-terrorist legislation, only twelve per cent are ever charged with anything. That is simply harrassment of Muslims on an appalling scale. Of those charged, 80% are acquitted. Most of the very few - just over two per cent of arrests - who are convicted, are not convicted of anything to do terrorism, but of some minor offence the Police happened upon while trawling through the wreck of the lives they had shattered.Be sceptical. Be very, very sceptical. SOURCE: www.craigmurray.co.uk/archives/2006/08/the_uk_terror_p.html
