The Myth of al-Qaeda Now Recognized by Corporate Media
Telling the History of the Twenty-First Century as It Really Is
April 19, 2008
Itâs interesting to note that, at long last, the mainstream media is hinting that the words âal Qaedaâ has simplistically become a metaphor for those that are fighting the US in Iraq and elsewhere and that âal Qaedaâ is not, as they have pushed for years, a specific org *** ation that is led and org *** ed by the equally metaphoric and very dead âOsama bin Ladenâ.
Michael Cooper and Larry Rohter of âThe New York Timesâ today wrote: âAs he campaigns with the weight of a deeply unpopular war on his shoulders, Senator John McCain of Arizona frequently uses the shorthand âAl Qaedaâ to describe the enemy in Iraq in pressing to stay the course in the war there.â Itâs a step in the right direction for the mainstream media to at last concede that âal Qaedaâ is indeed merely âshorthandâ for those that battle against US occupiers of various countries in the Middle East and Central Asia.
In much the same way as the Americans invoked the words âal Qaedaâ to denote those that raise their hands against them in defense of their lands, the Israelis today refer to all Palestinians that are fighting for their lands back as âterroristsâ. The Israelis tried for a while to cast Palestinian fighters into the âal Qaedaâ mould but it was quickly revealed that those the Israelis âcapturedâ turned out to be Israeli intelligence patsies. They have occasionally tried it on since but havenât of late been silly enough to actually insist that âal Qaedaâ is active with Palestinian fighters |

London bombings- Al-Qaeda not linked, says government
Internet used to plan 7/7 attack
Mark Townsend, crime correspondent
The Observer,
Sunday April 9 2006
The official inquiry into the 7 July London bombings will say the attack was planned on a shoestring budget from information on the internet, that there was no 'fifth-bomber' and no direct support from al-Qaeda, although two of the bombers had visited Pakistan.
The first forensic account of the atrocity that claimed the lives of 52 people, which will be published in the next few weeks, will say that attacks were the product of a 'simple and inexpensive' plot hatched by four British suicide bombers bent on martyrdom.
Far from being the work of an international terror network, as originally suspected, the attack was carried out by four men who had scoured terror sites on the internet. Their knapsack bombs cost only a few hundred pounds, according to the first completed draft of the government's definitive report into the blasts.
The Home Office account, compiled by a senior civil servant at the behest of Home Secretary Charles Clarke, also discounts the existence of a fifth bomber. After the bombings, police found an unused rucksack of explosives in the bombers' abandoned car at Luton station, which led to a manhunt for a missing suspect. Similarly, it found nothing to support the theory that an al-Qaeda fixer, presumed to be from Pakistan, was instrumental in planning the attacks.
A Whitehall source said: 'The London attacks were a modest, simple affair by four seemingly normal men using the internet.'

whilst mentioning London bombings, i thought it was quite suprisingly coincidental that London also had their 'pretend' exercises, just like Norad did on 9/11 in the US
listen to the head of the security company who ran the exerice in london, on the day, at the same time, at the same locations.
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.
On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.
Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch.
Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.
The transcript is as follows.
POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.
HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?
POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that th ... |

POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.
Click here for a clip of this dialogue. Click here for a longer clip where the comments can be heard in their full context.
The fact that the exercise mirrored the exact locations and times of the bombings is light years beyond a coincidence. Power said the drill focused around 'simultaneous bombings'. At first the bombings were thought to have been spread over an hour, but the BBC reports just today that the bombings were in fact simultaneous.
Mr. Power (pictured above) and Visor Consultants need not have been 'in on the bombing' or anything of that nature for this to be of importance. The British government or one of their private company offshoots could have hired Visor to run the exercise for a number of purposes.
We are not suggesting that Mr. Power had any knowledge of the real purpose of the exercise, and the open shock he exclaims in relating the story underlines this.
The exercise fulfils several different goals. It acts as a cover for the small compartamentalized government terrorists to carry out their operation without the larger security services becoming aware of what they're doing, and, more importantly, if they get caught during the attack or after with any incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part in the exercise.
This is precisely what happened on the morning of 9/11/2001. The CIA was conducting drills of flying hijacked planes into the WTC and Pentagon at 8:30 in the morning.
It is clear that at least five if not six traini ... |

actually al-quida was always mental construct, never known in arab countries... named so in 2000 by bush advisor and "creatively" incepted for explicit purpose...
i do not know if 9/11 was inside/outside or even top job... but i do know that from 19 people cited as kidnappers and pilots, 5 are still well and some of them live in england and never even left the country... opinion of pilots is as well that all of these "trainee" were incapable to fly that complex machines... i do not know, but that is what i read.
about rest of it? as most of religions, this "terror" religion was created for clearly political purpose, before that we have reds, before that were germans, before that blcks... and suddenly there was no-one to scare the public... you need something to scare the average joe blow... |

Key 9/11 suspect charges dropped
Mohammed al-Qahtani during a hearing in Yemen, 22 February 2006
Mohammad al-Qahtani was a suspect in the first capital case at Guantanamo
The Pentagon has dropped charges against a Saudi citizen alleged to have been the "20th hijacker" in the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US.
Mohammad al-Qahtani was one of six Guantanamo Bay inmates charged with murder and war crimes in February.
The Pentagon said the case against the other five defendants would proceed.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against the suspects in a case before military tribunals at the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay.
'Torture'
A Pentagon official said the charges against Mohammad al-Qahtani had been dropped "without prejudice", meaning they could be reinstated.
The US military gave no reason for its decision.
But lawyers for the defendant say they believe the charges were dropped because he "was tortured" under interrogation.
The decision could have implications for the other five suspects, whose lawyers claim that similar treatment was meted out to them, the BBC's Adam Brookes reports from Washington.
Authorities say Mr Qahtani failed to take part in the 9/11 attacks because he was denied entry into the US by an immigration official.
He was refused entry at Orlando in Florida in August 2001 and returned to Dubai. He was later detained in Afgh *** tan and transferred to Guantanamo Bay.
In 2006, he recanted accusations he had made against fellow detainees of having links to al-Qaeda.
His lawyer told Time magazine the statements had been extracted under torture.
The Saudi was reportedly submitted to stress positions, sleep deprivation and humiliation at Guantanamo.
Officials said he had been subjected to a harsh interrogation authorised by former US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

===================
Maybe if your cowardly Muslim Comrades didn't crash into the twin towers & kill a few thousand innocent things could have been different , also if Muslim terrorists didn't kill 200+ innocent Aussies things might have been different too. |
