Glasgow Airport yesterday

Blair's Neocon War of Terrorism hits Scotland

As if to remind us all, thanks to Blair and his successor Brown, that Scotland was dragged into an unwanted war in the Middle East and north-west Asia, a wannabe terrorist rams Glasgow Airport's doors with a burning Cherokee jeep. Brown's administration gets a chance to exercise its authority, goes into full swing and declares a top level critical alert through Britain. We're all supposed to be on tenterhooks and report each other for "unusual" behaviour.

Preceded by a similar incident in London where an erratically driven Mercedes skidded onto the pavement, knocking down several dustbins, is abandoned by its driver who leaves the headlights on for all to see his was, indeed, unusual behaviour. Quite by coincidence, an ambulance crew which had been called to a nearby club, turns up to notice smoke inside the crashed car and a big green gas can left by its side. On further inspection, it's discovered the car has a large amount of fuel stored in cans and an equally large amount of nails, no exact numbers given in either case.

But it was enough for the MSM's propaganda machine to go into action, assuming that this must be the work of Al Qaeda, mad Islamists etc, etc. This was all confirmed when the driver of the Glasgow Cherokee, his clothes on fire, attacked a policeman shouting, "Allah!". We must assume he wasn't hallucinating.

It's those dastardly Muslim extremists again. Be on alert folks, especially of dark-skinned Asians and similar unsavoury types. Why, even that lady in a burqa entering a bus in Manchester with her children might be a suicide bomber. Better get the Police to take her in charge and strip her down to ensure she isn't wearing a suicide belt! You can never be too sure these days and, anyway, we've been far too easy on these wogs.

Hmm, just days away from the second anniversary of that other false flag, July the Seventh, who is up to all of this and what is their purpose?

For starters, if these incidents really were terrorist attacks then they were certainly carried out in the clumsiest possible ways, intended it would seem to draw attention rather than to cause any severe loss of life. Had it exploded, the London Mercedes could have killed or maimed passers-by. But why leave the headlights on? Was the driver really a nice guy who wanted to warn folk that something was wrong or did he panic and forget to switch them off before abandoning the car, yet having the presence of mind to leave a gas canister outside it before running away?

Similarly, the Glasgow driver gets it all wrong, catches fire, runs his jeep against the Airport entrance doors, abandons his vehicle and scarpers. So did he chicken out? Why didn't he ram the doors in order to drive into the main thoroughfare inside to cause maximum havoc? And if he couldn't manoeuvre outside so as to ram the doors at high speed, how come he or his handlers hadn't researched that beforehand?

Which suggests, in both cases, that the drivers had certainly
not intended to suicide themselves in a blaze of glory. On the contrary, the behaviour of both suggests they were far too concerned to save their own lives.

No suicide bombers they, trained through mind-control and drugs to accept a gory end. These guys, it seems, were trained to botch up and fail in the missions they were ostensibly seen to be attempting!

Hmm.

Never mind. At least another mission
was accomplished, and that was to give the nation the jitters and the police and the government the opportunity to get as heavy as they like. After all, wouldn't they be failing in their duty to not be so? That is their job, to protect us and people expect it.

Well, so we are led to believe. But in the real world, events suggest otherwise. Both the police and the intelligence services are arms of the government and, despite appearances by its wannabe actors, the job of government turns out to be, not to protect, but to
manage us in the interests of its own self-preservation.

By definition, government is about mind control. Hiding within the word we find 'govern+ment', or govern the mind. And that is certainly what modern governments spend a lot of time doing. In earlier days, the mind control of government was to obtain political consensus among its people. With the abandonment of Keynesian economics, consensus was no longer the flavour of the day. Monetarism, or 'neo-liberalism' as it is euphemistically described these days is not about consensus but about the use of coercion, brute force and power over the weak in the name of profit and the devil take the hindmost.

And that is what governments in the west are busily promoting.

To control people, however, is not easy. The most obvious way to control them is to bully them through making them afraid. 911 was the classical example of that, July the Seventh another, Madrid, Bali and so on. And, just to ensure they stay on message they need, from time to time, to be reminded of that fear. That's what the intelligence services are there to plan and carry out and the police and the army to clear up after them.

A famous British intelligence officer and whistle-blower, David Shayler, mentions in a recent video (911 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy) how, after WWII, western governments and NATO created Operation Gladio whose purpose it was to cause terrorist incidents against their own populations and to blame the incidents on extremist groups. The British government has, through its intelligence services, carried out several terrorist attacks against its own population in these islands whilst attributing them to the Irish. As with the recent cover up of the Pat Finucane assassination by British Intelligence these things are covered up with so-called investigations to provide the whitewash or snow jobs.

Far from being our friendly protector, as anarchists have always held, governments turn out to be the
enemy of the people. And proof, should you require it, is there for all to see. The so-called 'War on Terrorism' is in reality a War of Terrorism committed by governments against their people.

Leaving aside the classic definitions of this war of state-sponsored terrorism, 911 and 77, ponder on how both Bush and Blair fabricated a situation in order to drag their peoples and armies into two blood-letting war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Who dies in the interests of oil and capital? The same blood sacrifice, as always, is made by governments who hide behind their shabby masquerade of 'public duty' and 'protection'.

And now we are to believe once more that they are carrying out duties which they never have and never intended to fulfill?

Sorry, I don't and I won't buy it. And nor will a lot of other bloggers or the public. Through internet, both capital and its governments are being exposed as never they were. Their answer is to fake wars against terror in order to clamp down on their own real enemies, the people they seek to control and manage. That war is moving on apace and there is no reason to believe it has ended.

Not only is the British government at war with Islam but it is, as it has always been, at war with its own population. We can only expect both wars to get worse and bloggers like myself finally to be silenced through increased control of the internet.

Take two suicide bombers into the car with me? I just want to crash and blow

USUK Preparations for the Apocalypse?
In an inexorable build-up of propaganda and military encirclement prior to a first strike attack on Iran, the Bush junta, along with its London quislings, have switched their anti-Iranian propaganda from nuclear issues to accuse the Iranian government of "meddling" in Iraq and supplying Iraqi guerillas weapons with which to fight the US and British occupying troops.

The evidence for such allegations was always sketchy and reminiscent of the concocted lies about Yellowcake Uranium and WMDs, used by Bush and Blair to drag their people into a genocidal war crime against a much weaker country.

Now, an independent research organization, the British American Security Information Council, has produced its own report on the alleged involvement of Iran in Iraq.

"Whatever the true extent and nature of Iranian military action in Iraq," the report concludes, "few independent analysts believe Tehran is playing a decisive role in the sectarian warfare and insurgency."

Instead, the report suggests that "other, more strategic motives also lie behind the considerable US political energy being expended on highlighting the Iranian role in Iraq. Iran may present a useful scapegoat to divert the blame for failures in Iraq away from the occupying powers."

"Recent allegations must also be considered in the context of the current crisis surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme. If Tehran can be cast as a source ofregional instability in the eyes of the international community, then the US administration’s hand will be strengthened as it seeks support for stronger measures to oppose Iranian nuclear ambitions."

"In particular, should the administration decide to embark on a military strike – an option which it says is still ‘on the table’ – then garnering public and political support in advance would be vital. Without it, the global unpopularity for military action would likely greatly exceed the opposition to the invasion of Iraq."

Meanwhile, in an extremely disturbing statement, John Reid, the UK's Home Secretary (Minister of the Interior) has threatened to implement emergency powers in order to derogate Britain's obligation to uphold the European Convention of Human Rights. If emergency powers were to be implemented as an excuse to extend the fake "war on terror" then Britain will, to all intents and purposes, become a naked dictatorship. And even if bully-boy Reid's stepping-down from office in late June were to put such a threat on the back-burner it is more than likely that his successor would continue with such a policy.

Derogation of the European Convention on the basis that there is an emergency threat would need the approval of both Houses of Parliament. But that would be a mere issue of technicalities to a dangerously Manichaean, Blair-Brown regime which, as before, would simply organize yet another Black Op crime against its people in order to plunge the country into a full blown totalitarian state prior to further domestic or international crises such as an apocalyptic nuclear attack on Iran.

I believe it is extremely significant that moves by Blair and Reid to steer Britain into a state of permanent emergency and dictatorship is happening at the very time when Bush is making similar moves in the USA. The two are taking place in coordination with each other as a transatlantic conspiracy to finally do away with so-called liberal democracy. And it is the chief players, the US and the UK, in the Anglo-Saxon alliance of 21st century imperialism that are leading the world into this darkness.

The statistical invisibility of
Islamist 'terrorism' in Europe
by David Miller, SPINWATCH

New figures from Europol, the European police agency, reveal that Islamist terror attacks in Europe constituted 0.2% of all 'terrorism' throughout the continent in 2006.* Unsurprisingly, there has been little in the media about this interesting figure in the month since it was published.

In their first report of this nature - European Terrorism Situation and trend Report 2007 - reports that across the EU there were 498 terrorist attacks in 2006. These include:

424 'ethno-nationalist and separatist' (mostly in France and Spain)

55 'left-wing and anarchist' (mainly Greece , Italy, Spain and Germany)

1 failed Islamist terrorist attack (in Germany, plus two more attempts allegedly foiled in Denmark and the UK)

1 right-wing terrorist attack (in Poland)

The figures appear to over report left and anarchist 'terror' by categorising some political demonstrations which result in damage to property as 'terrorism'. On Germany it reports that 'the G8 Summit 2007 that still has to be held has already been the target of left-wing and anarchist terrorists.' The report also appears to under report 'right wing' and neo-fascist violence since this is as the report states: 'mainly investigated as right-wing extremism and not as right-wing terrorism'. The report only includes rightwing and animal rights political violence as terrorism if reported as such by member states.

The report does also note that the 0.2% of attacks undertaken by Islamists resulted in fully half the 706 arrests in the EU being of Muslims. The UK itself has seen hundreds of arrests on trumped up charges which are later shown to be false and often propagandist. Indeed one of the two alleged 'foiled' attacks in the figures is the much heralded transatlantic bomb plot in the UK which has certainly adversely affected millions of air passengers. However, it does appear that this plot existed much more in the minds of the security establishment than in reality.

I wondered how well the pattern of media reporting conformed to the pattern of offences or the pattern of arrests. In 2006 the National press in the UK carried 26, 577 reports which mentioned the word 'terrorist' or 'terrorism'.** Of these 7,620 also referred to 'Islam', 'Islamist' or 'Muslim'. In other words the media reported Islamist violence out of all proportion to the number of attacks. This is hardly helpful to those trying to resist the wave of Islamophobia emanating from sections of the police and from the intelligence agencies and politicians. Nor does it give much hope for muslims under attack throughout the UK.

Blair's Kaleidoscope Dystopia

Significantly, one of the last things that Tony Blair does before finally quitting (don't believe it until it happens) is to go off to greet the British military occupation on a rah-rah tour in Iraq. A mortar attack was made on the British Embassy but unfortunately missed hitting Blair who went on to give a heart-rending speech on what a great job 'Our Boys' were doing defending good ol' Freedom 'n' Democracy and making the Matrix World a safer place to live in, blah, blah, blah.

Meantime, ex-Prez Jimmy Carter is reported by the BBC to opine on Blair in tones which if not quite Red Pill are still an embarrassing pink.

Criticising Blair for his "blind" support of the war in Iraq Carter said the UK's "almost undeviating" support for "the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq had been a major tragedy for the world."

"... I think the combination of Bush and Blair giving their support to this tragedy in Iraq has strengthened the effort and has made the opposition less effective and prolonged the war and increased the tragedy that has resulted."

The Iraq invasion had "caused deep schisms on a global basis", said Carter, and he hoped Mr Blair's successor, Gordon Brown, would be less enthusiastic in his support for it.

Jimmy Carter's outspoken condemnation of Blair followed a similar interview he gave to BBC Newsnight last year when he expressed his disappointment at the "apparently" subservient attitude of the British government towards the White House. Carter went on to observe how enthusiastically Blair had helped to influence Bush's war-mongering by adding "a very strong voice from London in the shaping of a common policy."

"I have been really disappointed in the apparent subservience of the British government's policies related to many of the serious mistakes that have been originated in Washington," he added.

"No matter what kind of radical or ill-advised policy was proposed from the White House, it seems to me that almost automatically the government of Great Britain would adopt the same policy without exerting its influence."

Well, this is about as candid as any establishment political figure is going to get. Apart, that is, from the priceless comment by Sir Rodric Braithwaite (UK ambassador to Moscow 1988-92, then foreign policy adviser to John Major and chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee) who described the miserable Blair as "a frayed and waxy zombie straight from Madame Tussaud’s."

"This one," Sir Rodric continued, "seems to live and breathe. Perhaps it comes from the Central Intelligence Agency’s box of technical tricks, programmed to spout the language of the White House in an artificial English accent."

"Perhaps," of course, is a deliberate understatement by an ex-intelligence boss who knows full well Blair's long history as an informant and quisling whose CIA-directed mission was to finally destroy the reformist tendencies of the British Labour Party as well as his country's freedoms.

When the establishment begins to talk in those terms you can be sure that political affairs have not just deteriorated, they have taken on the proportions of a Titanic listing badly before being sucked down into an unforgiving abyss.

The list of Blair's crimes are endless: in his youth an MI5 informant, a war criminal who not only lied to his parliament and people about non-existent WMD's but who actively used his intelligence services to fabricate lies in order to feed them to their CIA counterparts and a compliant media. Leo Strauss, the architect of the 'noble lie', kiss-my-ass philosophy of the neocons would have been delighted in how deftly his acolyte, the Bliar, was able to put the science of spin, distortion and invention into service. So would Goebbels, he of the Big Lie.

Not only was the Iraq invasion justified by a stream of well-orchestrated lies where Bush and Blair were fed just the kind of 'intelligence' they instructed their spooks to feed them it was, by an incredible sleight-of-hand, made to seem like a necessary act in an equally fake 'war on terror' where Saddam Hussein and the nebulous Al-Qaeda were held responsible for 911.

Though taken in by the Al-CIA-duh link to 911 story few in Europe bought the contorted logic linking both to Saddam Hussein. But it didn't matter a damn because the target audience to persuade was not in Europe but with the folks down home in Amerikkay. And they bought it hook, line and sinker, thanks to the force-feeding techniques used by the Bushblair duo and their media sycophants on both sides of the Atlantic.

Just hours after 911, Noam Chomsky, in an interview on a then relatively free BBC World Service, warned the world that the real impact of 911 would follow in a world of rapidly-deteriorating civil liberties. He was exactly right and an inexorable onslaught on civil liberties followed where the diabolic duo used their fabricated 'war on terror' and the excuse of 'security' to overturn the basic tenets, such as Magna Carta and Habeas Corpus, upon which Anglo-Saxon law was founded eight hundred years ago.

The havoc wreaked upon our freedoms by these satanic minions is much greater than anything their erstwhile counterpart, Adolf Hitler, was able to bring about in a war-torn world. And yet it follows on nicely in a descending curve of civilised values which Hitler and Mussolini would have been delighted to see their political descendants bring about in a world betrayed by smooth-talking gangsters.

The 'war on terror' was never what it was purported to be. More correctly it was a war of terror in which the ultimate goal is to dismantle the old, so-called 'politics of consensus' of the post WWII period, where social spending was considered an important aspect of developing capitalism, and to replace it with something far more brutal disguised by the economic description of 'liberalization' and 'globalization.'

A fake 911, the 'war on terror', homeland security, the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, the neocon Blueprint for a New American Century, a racist scapegoating and terrorizing of Muslim communities, all these are but the various building-blocks by which a New World Order is being created. The same new world order that Blair predicted would follow in a speech given not long after 911 in which he claimed that "the Kaleidoscope" had been shaken and when the pieces fell back into place the fractal reality of a new world order would have come about.

How many professional 'commentators' would have rashly said what they knew to be the truth: that 911 was a carefully-orchestrated event deliberately brought about to give the likes of Bush and Blair a Pearl Harbour event to justify their war-mongering in the name of Big Oil and the betrayal of their people's freedoms? How many editors would have dared to risk their careers by publishing anything but the official spin on 911 or the warnings of Chomsky that 911 would presage a new dark age of totalitarianism?

It was left to the politically marginalised sectors of a prison planet to get the truth out by any means they could find, predominantly the internet. For nearly six years now, this writer has played his part in that small band. And we shall continue until such time as the likes of Bush and Blair are successful in finally being able to control the internet and turn us into 'non-persons', beings who simply do not exist in the fractal-reality of the dystopia they intended when they shook the kaleidoscope so violently on 11 September 2001.

Escaping the Matrix: Are you ready for the red pill?

The defining dramatic moment in the film The Matrix occurs just after Morpheus invites Neo to choose between a red pill and a blue pill. The red pill promises "the truth, nothing more." Neo takes the red pill and awakes to reality--something utterly different from anything Neo, or the audience, could have expected. What Neo had assumed to be reality turned out to be only a collective illusion, fabricated by the Matrix and fed to a population that is asleep, cocooned in grotesque embryonic pods ... In the Matrix world, true reality and perceived reality exist on entirely different planes.

The story is intended as metaphor, and the parallels that drew my attention had to do with political reality. This article offers a particular perspective on what's going on in the world--and how things got to be that way--in this era of globalization. From that red-pill perspective, everyday media-consensus reality--like the Matrix in the film--is seen to be a fabricated collective illusion.

Escapar de la Matriz: ¿Está Ud. listo para la píldora roja?

El momento dramático definitivo en la película La Matriz ocurre inmediatamente a continuación de la invitación de Morfeo a que Neo escoja entre una píldora roja y una azul. La píldora roja promete "la verdad, nada más". Neo toma la píldora roja y despierta a la realidad - algo tremendamente diferente de todo lo que Neo, o el público, pudieran haber esperado. Lo que Neo había tomado por la realidad resulta ser sólo una ilusión colectiva, inventada por la Matriz y alimentada a una población que está adormecida, en grotescas incubadoras embrionarias ... En el mundo de la Matriz la verdadera realidad y la realidad percibida transcurren en planos completamente diferentes.


La intención de la trama es metafórica, y el paralelo que atrajo mi atención tiene que ver con la realidad política. Este artículo presenta una perspectiva singular sobre lo que está pasando en el mundo -y cómo las cosas llegaron a ser de este modo- en esta era de globalización. Desde esa perspectiva de la píldora roja, la realidad de los medios de comunicación y del consenso cotidiano general -como la Matriz en la película- aparecen como una ilusión colectiva inventada.

Fake Terrorism
Jürgen Elsässer: “The CIA recruited and trained the jihadists”
by Silvia Cattori

In his latest book, “How the Jihad Came to Europe”, German journalist Jürgen Elsässer unravels the Jihadist thread. Muslim fighters recruited by the CIA to fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan were used successively in Yugoslavia and Chechnya, still supported by the CIA, but perhaps sometimes out of its control. Basing himself on diverse sources, mainly Yugoslavian, Dutch, and German, he reconstructed the development of Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants at the side of NATO in Bosnia-Herzegovinia.
