West making big money from war threats: Intelligence expert

Last week, the London Times, owned by Rupert Murdoch, a “stealth” Israeli citizen and powerful Likudist leader, ran a purposefully false news story. His “tale” involved the use by Israel of bases within Azerbaijan by drones to plan attacks on Iran.

Azerbaijan’s president quickly denied the report, pledged his solidarity with Iran and demanded a retraction. The Times had no source for the report. It was invented.

Sources tell us the story was run as part of a fraudulent manipulation of oil markets.
Billions were made in hours.

When the “denial” was published, billions more were made through illegal “shot selling.”

When government, the military, the financial market, media and world terrorism become part of the same “corporate society,” there is big money to be made.

Turn on your television, watch the news. The story is in front of you every day.

News agencies, Fox and the Newscorp/Murdoch group, CNN, the New York Times, even Washington “think tanks” and the endless bellicose outpourings from Washington, London, Berlin and, most of all, Tel Aviv, can all be traced to systematic manipulation of key markets, crude oil and fuels, rare earths and defense related minerals and even currency markets.

One day, an Israeli official will announce, as we saw with Defense Minister Ehud Barak back in August while interviewed by Mossad “news asset” Wolf Blitzer, that “Iran has no nuclear weapons program.”

Barak’s statement could have been based on intelligence reports that, consistently since 2007 and before, have indicated that Iran has no nuclear weapons program.

It could have been based on reports from those who run Israel’s own illicit nuke program, one the UN General Assembly recently voted to curtail, clear knowledge that a nation that actively builds illegal weapons of mass destruction knows when another nation is not.

No nation has more knowledge of deceit or spitting in the face of the international community as Israel does.

Barak’s game? Lessened war fears allowed the crash in “options” pricing to allow key allies of Israel, especially the Koch Brothers, to corner more of the future market.

Then, of course, a concerted effort soon followed, as though Barak had never existed, threats to bomb Iran, even orders to expand Pentagon exercises to create greater war threats in the region.

The basis?

More cash, as newspapers raised the orchestrated crescendo of war mongering, as key American legislators bellowed threats, as “think tanks” published bizarre and baseless allegations and, as usual, the “puppet” IAEA, International Atomic Energy Association, a front organization for Wall Street market manipulators, joined the chorus.

A year ago, their former spokesman and major source of “expertise” on nuclear weapons, former US Department of Energy Chief Nuclear Weapons Designer Clinton Bastin contacted David Albright.

Bastin, with over 40 years’ experience, “hands on,” with nukes, a Marine veteran of World War II, said of his close friend and former co-worker at the IAEA, Albright:

“David Albright, a physicist, former colleague, president of the non-government Institute for Science and International Security in Washington and a former consultant for IAEA inspectors, is recognized by the US news media as an expert on nuclear weapons but is not. I called David several months ago to correct inaccurate information attributed to him by New York Timesreporter William J. Broad. I also mentioned that Pakistan probably did not have many nuclear weapons because gun-type weapons require about 100 pounds of highly enriched uranium. David said that he had seen drawings of Pakistan’s weapons and they had solid cores but were implosion, not gun-type. With that statement, I realized that David did not understand basic concepts of nuclear weapons.”

The problem predates Albright’s technical incompetence, real or feigned.

We could begin with 9/11.

manipulation of airline stocks that would have required advanced knowledge of 9/11, the media quickly called the story “conspiracy theory.”

The problem is that the stock manipulation scams tied to 9/11 were very real, carefully documented and involved billions of dollars.

Notwithstanding, the acquisition of the World Trade Center itself by Larry Silverstein, buildings reeking of dangerous asbestos, nearly empty, a massive financial liability that would have required billions in renovation or demolition suddenly became the “deal of the century” when 9/11 happened, within days of the entire facility being vastly over-insured against terror attacks.

If it were a few isolated incidents, it would be one thing. If it involved just a few individuals or organizations, it would be “one thing.”

The problem is that this has gone on for years. The problem is that the manipulation of intelligence leading to the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq can be tied to tens of thousands of transactions, all tied globally to government agencies, the majority of news organizations and, just “seemingly,” terrorist groups that may very well have always been, in actuality, arms of the CIA, Mossad, MI-6 and other such organization.

A careful analysis of investment patterns, oil, arms, shipping, minerals, pharmaceutical, defense and others, beginning with 2001, indicate a pattern of advanced knowledge and even manipulation of historical events.

A more serious problem is that the super-computers operated by the NSA and other agencies are tasked with seeking and recognizing such patterns.

In fact, we have solid information that the organizations tasked with monitoring ties between terrorism and market manipulation may actually have been used to plan the acts themselves.

This, of course, would represent an accusation that groups within the US government had invented the “Global War on Terror” in order to loot the world’s financial market, crash currencies, create a permanent ability to destabilize any sector at will and do so without any threat of retribution.

We have always seen wars chase resources, wars for oil, wars to control the drug markets, wars to distract attention from civil meltdown and imposition of police state provisions through incomprehensible “international” groups, cabals, gangs, known by one or a dozen names, best referred to as “organized crime.”

How we know that organized crime runs the world is that any person, any nation that speaks up, that stands against what is an obvious “wave of entropy,” is labeled a “terrorist madman.”

Today, we began by examining one false news story, Rupert Murdoch using what had, at one time, been a well-respected news organization as a front for a petty robbery.

Perhaps “petty” is the wrong word, as twenty billion dollars were bilked from Americans with only a few pages of fantasy, the “free press” at work, doing what it has been tasked to do, to “serve mankind.” 

Within the realm of popular fiction, there are two examples of how governments work to recognize such situations and the deep concern that exists that news organizations tied to terror groups within our own governments are used on a regular basis to bring the world to the brink of war and beyond for profit.

First that comes to mind is “Three Days of the Condor” and the second is the TV series “Rubicon.”

Both are about intelligence groups based in New York City that find patterns. “Rubicon” was cancelled when it aired an episode that depicted a group within the CIA that sabotaged an oil tanker in Galveston Bay in order to manipulate oil markets.

Every other week, an American naval task force steams into the Straits of Hormuz, brushes up to Iranian waters or sends drones into Iranian airspace.

Each of these incidents raises the level of “war threat” and, moreover, each of these incidents incites a carefully orchestrated and extremely easily traceable pattern of investment behavior, which is, by American law, not only a violation of SEC regulations but is minimally treason.

Why is the word “billionaire” so “yesterday?” 

When petty banksters and financial scamsters are free to send out carrier battle groups or, as we have already seen, start wars and kill millions, the stakes are higher.

Those same computers that find the patterns also track the cash.

It is no longer “billions” but “trillions” that is being stolen.

When that kind of money is the subject and the kind of people we know are behind it, a few million dead is just the “cost of doing business.”

‘US diverting focus from Israeli nukes'

'US demonizes Syria to shield Israel'

Nuclear Christmas, a false flag in America to blame on Iran

There are strong confirmations that one or more nuclear weapons, known to have been stolen but kept from the public to “prevent panic,” may well be deployed in American cities by extremist elements with probable ties to a foreign intelligence agency.

This scenario was the basis of the television show “Jericho” several years ago. However, this time there are real culprits and real motivations, both the overthrow of the government of the United States and the naming of Iran as a “scapegoat.”

The plot has been tracked to groups within the Pentagon, several government agencies and wealthy and powerful extremist backers of Netanyahu and, in particular, the “Gulf Cartel” operating from Mexico that has penetrated nearly all levels of government, law enforcement and the military across the country.

Using surprisingly direct language, President Obama has officially confirmed this conspiracy.

Six days ago, the President of the United States, on his official public website, issued a warning about “government insiders” who were planning “violent acts” against the “government and the nation.”

Despite the public nature and seriousness of this announcement and the draconian measures alluded to in order to “mitigate” the threat, no member of the opposition party which usually jumps on any and every word the president says has mentioned anything.

Moreover, there has been a total press blackout on this press release, which is prominently displayed on the White House website. Those we have spoken with at the highest levels of the military and key intelligence and law enforcement agencies indicate they have never seen a statement of this kind and find it shocking.

All find it frightening and for good reason.

Sources within the intelligence community have confirmed that key former military personnel, some employed by the government to provide security for nuclear facilities, others with training in the assembly and detonation of “special weapons,” are being sought and actively recruited by “militant extremists” who represent, for the most part, powerful international corporations.

Though this group was initially tracked down through counter-narcotics investigations, their membership includes at least one major hedge fund, top law firms, major media players and even religious organizations.

We keep returning to the White House warning:

“…to deter, detect and mitigate actions by employees who may present a threat to national security… These threats include… violent acts against the Government and the Nation…”

When all major media and political groups chose to suppress reporting of this threat, a press release that, normally, would have been turned against President Obama in order to label him a “wild conspiracy theorist,” this became more than real, it became genuinely terrifying.

Rush Limbaugh and Fox News typically would have dedicated hour after hour of accusations, “the president is now a dictator,” or “Obama has gone insane.”

Instead, we have total silence.

After 9/11, a controversy that divides Americans into those who follow the flood of hard evidence of a cover-up and demand justice and real retribution against those who bask in blindness and ignorance, one serious fact has escaped many.

How can America, exhausted after losing two wars, increasingly aware that our news, even our history has been fictionalized and propagandized, be manipulated into blindly following a conspiratorial cabal after a “too conveniently timed” national disaster.

The last election in the US was even more bizarre than the several that preceded it. Mitt Romney, predicted by many to win easily, lost by a huge electoral margin despite every imaginable attempt to rig the election from voter intimidating to hacking voting machines.

Contacts within federal law enforcement indicate that Romney may well have faced arrest for a wide variety of charges tied to narcotics, money laundering and organized crime until investigations were shut down by the Bush administration after 9/11.

The previous candidate from the same party was saved from prison through a secret presidential pardon and if tried based on direct accusations made by Colonel Ted Guy, would only now be considered for release from prison.

When you add this to the fact that nearly all top members of the Bush administration are unable to travel because they face criminal prosecution for war crimes and are actively evading arrest, the true nature of the relationship between a vast international criminal conspiracy and key players in America’s ruling oligarchy is more than obvious.

Thus, when a threat of an attack on the “government and nation” is revealed, two things become obvious:

1. Only a nuclear attack, likely more than one location, could push America to the new war Israel wants and bully the American people into even more “police state” legislation and the total abandonment of what is left of democratic government.

2. News and entertainment have been systematically pre-staging such a move through highly fictionalized and propagandized “brainwashing” that is intended to make Iran the scapegoat for what President Obama has now revealed is actually an “insider threat” within the American government.

Nukes, Lost, Stolen and “Misplaced” Now “in Play”

As early as 1990, three South African nuclear weapons, purchased by Britain, three out of ten manufactured at the Armscorp Pelindaba facility, were stolen. The purchase of the weapons was authorized by Prime Minster Thatcher and handed by Dr. David Kelly, the murdered weapons scientist, and a young assistant, David Cameron, currently Prime Minister of Britain.


False reports that Iraq had stolen these weapons made up the real “secret brief” used to justify the invasion of Iraq. Only later, in 2009, when one of these weapons was exploded by North Korea, did it become clear that there was an open market for nukes and that some of the players were considered “friends” of Britain, France and the US.

In 1991, the US lost three more nuclear weapons in an air crash off Somalia, weapons believed to have been recovered and marketed by former South African Defense officials.

The US mounted a massive recovery effort tied to these weapons in 1993 in Somalia and sustained considerable casualties.

A movie was made about it, “Blackhawk Down.”

In 2007, a religious cult within the US Air Force stole between 6 and 9 H Bombs and loaded them on a B-52 bound for “places unknown.”

Not all of those weapons were recovered when the plane was forced down at Barksdale Air Force Base. The public was told a wild story of dozens of mistakes in mishandling nuclear weapons.

Invented Terrorism

There is substantial reason to believe that, in order to shift blame from powerful extremist groups in the US, with ties to drug cartels and multi-national organized crime, the “Global War on Terror” was begun and the non-existent organization, “Al Qaeda” was invented.

Historical record will prove that the US Department of Justice did, in fact, invent “Al Qaeda” in order to bring “conspiracy” charges against Osama bin Laden where there was absolutely no evidence of his involvement. We are speaking of the East Africa embassy bombings.

President Obama, in his November 21, 2012 press release has, after all these years, finally admitted that the American government is deeply infiltrated with militant extremists who have used false flag terror to push their political agenda.

In fact, the Bush 43 administration was almost entirely made up of militant extremists and, were it not for the political defeats of both McCain and Romney; organized crime would have had the military forces of the US as their “private army” for eight more years.

Strike on Gaza, Netanyahu’s swan song of rage

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Fri Nov 16, 2012 1:4PM GMT

By Gordon Duff

The tendrils that stretch from Tel Aviv have shown themselves of late, not immediately but the mosaic is beginning to come together, the pattern to be seen, understood, its brazenness and hubris grossly contradictory to popular “victimization mythology” used to wage war on the world “through deception.”
Three missiles have traveled the 50 miles from Gaza to Tel Aviv and Israel’s “Iron Dome” was proven less than promised and the possibility of tens of thousands of missiles from Lebanon became an inexorable reality if the “madness of Netanyahu” goes unhindered.

I understand Netanyahu; I just do not forgive him. Where Gaddafi faced physical danger, defiant to the end, Netanyahu believes himself under similar circumstances.

He sits in Tel Aviv like a spider as he hatches his plots, Romney and the promise of a Greater Israel and a “shock and awe” attack by the US on Iran, those schemes lie in ruins.
Another of the leaders of men, the “Masters of the Universe,” small men, heartless, narcissistic, borderline personality disorder or full-blown sociopaths, they spin from fantasy to rage to self-destruction.

We see the daily attacks on Gaza. We also know of his preparations, a massive armed assault on the world’s largest walled prison, its women and children slated to fall under the cluster bombs, the white phosphorous, the shelling and staffing that Likudist Israel turns to when the world begins to open its eyes to see what is there.

For over six decades, a stranglehold on pop culture, movies, television, movies, even the American congress, creatures like John McCain and Lindsay Graham of the US Senate as examples, all have provided “cover and deception” for genocide.

Small men, small in stature, small in heart, small of intellect do not take the unraveling of their plots easily.

We have seen the rage of Greater Israel before. Were an accurate history to be laid bare before all, it would constitute an act of criminality in many nations, we have sunk that low.

The tendrils that stretch from Tel Aviv have shown themselves of late, not immediately but the mosaic is beginning to come together, the pattern to be seen, understood, its brazenness and hubris grossly contradictory to popular “victimization mythology” used to wage war on the world “through deception.”

BENGHAZI

As the flood of cash from Sheldon Adelson’s worldwide casino empire proved more and more ineffective in overcoming America’s doubts about Romney’s character, a plan was hatched.

We had seen such a plan before; a political party in Norway had stood its ground in support of a boycott of Israeli goods in response to an apartheid society enforced with untold violence.

Anders Breivik assisted by right wing extremists in Norway’s police, murder 77 children, the families of those who stood for freedom and justice. All investigations were suppressed and Breivik will spend a few short years in relative comfort, enjoying the free society he had worked much of his life to deny others.

Breivik is what is known as a “Zionist.”

Benghazi is, in many ways, a very similar incident, clearly the product of a wide-ranging conspiracy of spies, of journalists, of members of congress, of “chat room” trolls and “bloggers.” There were some killers too, we may seek some of them out, but as for the others, they are unlikely to receive the punishment they deserve.

The American president had to be humiliated, not just that, but “set up” as well, accused of endless conspiracies, all equally senseless and asinine but if repeated enough to a nation of “apocalypse junkies” and “birthers,” it might just work.

To pull off the Benghazi killings, assets were called upon, some “dual citizens” within the American Department of State, to make sure the Ambassador was vulnerable at a key time. Thus, those who controlled his schedule, who knew his every move, they are who I would look at first.

Then I would turn to what history has denied, the invisible partnership begun in 2004 between the Bush family, Israel and Gaddafi. While the British built Gaddafi’s military, while Haliburton took over their oil, Israel befriended the Libyan leader.

It was Gaddafi’s belief that, if he let Israel in to set up his intelligence agencies and his communications network, if he allowed secret CIA prisons and America’s rendition program to operate under the cover of Libyan “seclusion,” it would assure the survival of his rule.

Gaddafi had weathered decades of change while others had fallen, he was a survivor, or so he thought.
Hence, when time came to kill an American ambassador, Israel had been in Libya for eight years, establishing themselves among the acolytes of Gaddafi, those who would supply the needed electronic jamming equipment, the heavy weapons and the needed additional manpower for what was a far larger military operation than anyone has yet told the public.

Why are there no photos of Benghazi, no film, in a world where every person carries a phone that records video? It was not just the jamming; nearly a square mile taken down by one of Gaddafi’s many convoy security trucks.
Special teams were infiltrated through Tunisia, through the Tripoli airport. They were seen, French and British intelligence, many were told that there would be a target but none imagined the killing of the lone American diplomat and his tiny security detail, one of the “soft targets” of all time.

This was figured to cost Obama two percentage points on the election, just a few murders, that is all.
This was only the beginning. Not only would Israel unleash her army of former Internet chat room trolls, elevated to the status of “bloggers,” but also an army of journalists, including a mix of pundits, “tea party” extremists and fantasists.

Behind them, on demand, like ordering “take away Chinese,” members of congress would chime in, the dirtiest and those most easily blackmailed would lead the way. Thus, Lindsay Graham, the “homophobic” homosexual Senator from South Carolina and “Hanoi John” McCain, the former POW with a presidential pardon protecting him from life in prison for giving “aid and comfort to the enemy” during his “imprisonment” during the Vietnam War are unleashed.

For that story, names like Colonel Ted Guy, Colonel Earl Hopper and Sgt. Major John Holland, all now deceased, supplied endless fully vetted documentation.

CIVIL WAR OR COUP

The story of former CIA Director, General Petraeus becomes more dark and complex as each hour progresses. When Allen Dulles ran the CIA, he was famous for having had a “relationship” with every woman in the agency.

The story about Petraeus began as a simple affair, took on the perception of a “honey trap,” a typical methodology used in the spy trade where sex and blackmail are used.

Now “informed sources” are saying that things may have gone further, much further.

What we do see, however, is a “second term” presidency where it is a very good guess that a veil has been lifted and those that needed “dealing with” during Obama’s first term, those who helped bring down America through illegal wars, through financial crimes, through espionage, those who were very much “above the law” may very well no longer be so.

Sources within the Department of Justice now indicate that the Israeli lobby, long under investigation for espionage but protected by powerful friends is no longer safe.

Where Gaza will suffer destruction, the plans for America are more complex and, perhaps, even more deadly. Military officers long under the control of Tel Aviv, some willing, some under blackmail, others bought for “30 pieces of silver” stand ready to overthrow the lawful government.

Other groups, millionaires trolling America for damaged and disaffected special operations veterans, trained snipers and bombers, cells of domestic terrorism we have clearly seen in formation, are to be called upon.

The plans are always simple, a template of Bush (43.) We will have an iconic act of terror, an attempt to seize power through “decapitating” the government, Iran will be blamed and a multi-decade war will be waged while America will be gutted of everything but the topsoil.

None of this is conjecture.

REALITY AND DEFLECTION

mythology is dying. Netanyahu knows this very well. He knew it the second he saw himself on video at the UN, his “Wylie Coyote” poster in hand, a lifetime of lies and dissemblance for nothing, all in ruins, now a “dead man walking.”
He will not go quietly into the night, many will die, as he sees it, all may die except him. He may even see himself as the hero of his own life.

Others place him among the monsters of history but this is always the case.

GORDON DUFF: YEMEN: AL QAEDA PRESENCE NOT CREDIBLE

“AL QAEDA” CALL FOR ATTACKS ON AMERICA, NOT ISRAEL, UNDER SUSPICION

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

The people of Yemen simply don’t believe in Al Qaeda or Osama bin Laden, and for good reason. When Abdullah al-Faqih, professor of political science at Sana University told the New York Times, “We cannot differentiate between what is propaganda and what is real…Some of what looks like Al Qaeda is really terror as a business.”

With early news stories being continually contradicted, bombs that weren’t really bombs heading out on flights that never existed, carrying packages for companies that don’t service Yemen, all heading for Chicago synagogues, part of the wildest “persecution complex” of all time, the whole “Al Qaeda/Yemen” thing has been little more than a “borscht belt” comedy act.

Can we blame President Obama if he got some political mileage out of it before it became so outlandish that a new “Al Qaeda cell” had to take responsibility. Funniest of all was the supposed “Al Qaeda” statement that is clearly part of the long debunked synagogue attack fantasy;

“God has exposed you and showed the world that you are nothing but treacherous agents to the Jews because these bomb packages were headed to Jewish-Zionist temples, and you had to intervene with your treacherous ways to protect them, so may God curse you for being the oppressors.”

JDL (JEWISH DEFENSE LEAGUE) ORDERS JEWS TO GO TO ISRAEL OR BUY GUNS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM “AMERICANS”

YouTube - Veterans Today

Could manipulating threats against Jews in America serve Israeli interests?

Every scenario plays the same, as with this announcement, more calls for attacks on America and not a single word mentioned about Israel, the traditional target of all Islamic extremist groups. This announcement, like so many before it including Adam “Perlman” Gadahn’s most recent, call for attacks on America. Though this one mentions Jews, its language, “so may G-d curse you for being the oppressors” calls for attacks on America only, not Israel. Could anything be more obvious?

“ELVIS BIN LADEN” GOES TO YEMEN

When Arnaud de Borchgrave of UPI and the Washington Times announced Osama bin Laden was “dead as Elvis,” he knew there would be a reaction. The “bin Laden industry,” making and selling bin Laden tapes to American buyers hungry for any excuse to bilk the public out of more money for the imaginary “war on terror” had run its course. When the real bin Laden died in 2001, the videos, short bin Laden’s, fat bin Ladens, festooned like department store Santas, were debunked one by one, despite attempts by the US State Department and Homeland Security to exploit them.

Eventually, the CIA put a stop to this when Director Leon Panetta hinted at bin Laden’s demise in 2001 stating that there had been “no known sightings” since that time.Phony intelligence reports had bin Laden driving around Afghanistan on a personal appearance tour the week before. Not long after, newspapers attacked Iran claiming bin Laden was living in luxury there while other rumors said he was being protected by the Iranian community in Los Angeles.

As phony bin Laden videos gave way to quickly debunked audio tapes, still flowing out of Israel on a near weekly basis, “Al Qaeda,” the conveniently created terrorist organization meant to justify the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq magically relocated to Yemen. However, not everyone is buying that. A November 3, 2010 New York Times report stated:

As Yemen intensifies its military campaign against Al Qaeda’s regional arm, it faces a serious obstacle: most Yemenis consider the group a myth, or a ploy by their president to squeeze the West for aid money and punish his domestic opponents. “What is Al Qaeda? The truth is there is no Al Qaeda,” said Lutfi Muhammad, a weary-looking unemployed 50-year-old walking through this city’s tumultuous Tahrir Square.

Instead, he said, the violence is “because of the regime and the lack of stability and the internal struggles.”…The Yemeni government has used jihadists as proxy soldiers in the past, and sometimes conflates the Qaeda threat and the unrelated political insurgencies it has fought in northern and southern Yemen in recent years.

… many Yemenis seem doubtful that Al Qaeda was guilty in all or even most of those killings, which took place in the same southern parts of the country where a secessionist movement has been growing for the past three years.

“We cannot differentiate between what is propaganda and what is real,” said Abdullah al-Faqih, a professor of political science at Sana University. “It’s impossible to tell who is killing who; you have tribal feuds, Al Qaeda and the Southern Movement, and the state is doing a lot of manipulation.”

“Some of what looks like Al Qaeda is really terror as a business,” Mr. Faqih said.

With the government of Yemen fully invested in bin Laden tapes and the influx of cash tied to hunting down the mysterious and illusory “Al Qaeda,” the convenient terror organization that can make the difference between asking money to fight a civil war or crush local political opponents or, the second you scream “Al Qaeda,” Israel has their worldwide network of newspapers repeating your every word, American drone aircraft are suddenly overhead ready to kill of your pesky mother-in-law or the guy who stole your highschool sweetheart.

This is how it all started in Afghanistan and is still going strong to this day, the “Al Qaeda card” being played when “government approved” drug kingpins want to crush competition. It was also a totally fabricated Al Qaeda, a fact long proven, that put America into Iraq and 5000 American soldiers into an early grave.

In fact, the position the government of Yemen now holds is amazing considering they were of the opposite belief only two years ago. Is there a wonder the people of Yemen believe they are being scammed? From a BBC report on October 7, 2008:

Yemen seizes ‘Israel-linked’ cell

Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has said the security forces have arrested a group of alleged Islamist militants linked to Israeli intelligence. Mr Saleh did not say what evidence had been found to show the group’s links with Israel, a regional enemy of Yemen.

The arrests were connected with an attack on the US embassy in Sanaa last month which killed at least 18 people, official sources were quoted saying……

“A terrorist cell was arrested and will be referred to the judicial authorities for its links with the Israeli intelligence services,” Mr Saleh told a gathering at al-Mukalla University in Hadramawt province.”Details of the trial will be announced later. You will hear about what goes on in the proceedings,” he added.

The 17 September attack was the second to target the US embassy since April. Militants detonated car bombs before firing rockets at the heavily fortified building.

Mr Saleh did not identify the suspects, but official sources were quoted saying it was same cell – led by a militant called Abu al-Ghaith al-Yamani – whose arrest was announced a week after the attack……

PHONY TERROR SCARE OBAMA’S HARMLESS VERSION OF “9/11″

The 2010 election in America is the most expensive in history, costing well over $1 billion. With the elimination of most controls on election spending, a massive influx of foreign capital, almost all untraceable even under United Nations money-laundering conventions, combined with millions from Israeli sources such as media mogul Rupert Murdoch, managed to take control of the US House of Representatives and almost took the US Senate. It is very possible that the phony terror scare may have been all that saved the last shred of President Obama’s influence in American government.

Despite discussions of “smaller government” and “lowering taxes,” many political experts in the United States saw the election, not as a referendum on approval or disapproval of any policy but rather a clear demonstration of the ability of foreign capital to flex its muscle in the American political arena using little more than cash, innuendo and broad coordination of controlled media resources, “spin” and suppression of positive news coverage of President Obama and his agenda and accomplishments.

UAE AND YEMEN DEBUNK CARGO STORY

A cursory examination of the UPS website shows that the company doesn’t service Yemen. In addition, the Yemen Post reported the following confirmations;

Mohammed al-Shaibah, Air Cargo Director for Yemenia Airways said to Yemen Post, “No UPS cargo plane left Yemeni lands over the land 48 hours. These accusations are false and baseless.”
He added, “No UPS or DHL cargo packages heading to Chicago through Yemen took place in the last 48 hours as well.”

“All packages are checked very carefully in Yemen, and there is no evidence to prove that this package came through Yemen.”

CNN reported the suspicious package, which contained a “manipulated” toner cartridge, tested negative for explosive material, the source said, but it led to heightened inspection of arriving cargo flights in Newark, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a UPS truck in New York.

Additionally, Press TV, reporting from Dubai, carried a government denial that any packages from Yemen left the United Arab Emirates for the United States;

Fighter jets were scrambled on Friday to accompany an Emirates plane into New York’s JFK airport after a security alert, US media reported. Emirati authorities, however, said flight 201 carried no ‘suspicious’ cargo from Yemen as claimed by US-Canadian military agency NORAD. UAE officials rejected the claim and said the plane was not a source of threat.

“The Emirates plane that arrived today in the United States from Dubai did not contain any packages from Yemen,” the official Emirati WAM news agency quoted an unnamed source with the country’s civil aviation body as saying.

North American military agency caused a media hype after it reported the suspicious flight.

PRE-ELECTION SKULLDUGGERY?

With American jets scrambled, Chicago synagogues terrorized and US backed troops heading into secessionist regions of Yemen searching for “Al Qaeda” terrorists in a thinly veiled ruse for a tribal crackdown, irresponsible and complicit news media working hand in hand with intelligence agencies, both American and “other,” have managed to manufacture more of the subterfuge required to maintain a continual flow of unverifiable threats from Yemen. It has become clear that, with adequate incentives, the government of Yemen will be willing to repackage their internal divisions to appear as terrorism “on demand.”

This will help keep America’s focus on the region will post-election political maneuvering is likely to stress a more aggressive policy toward Iran, pre-staging an attack in the spring, a response to, well, we can only wait and see.
