Bin Laden 'confession tape' a fraud

bh | 26.11.2001 17:48

found these links to the whole sorry saga while surfing the Melbourne site while everything else was down

Bin Laden 'confession tape' a fraud
Bin Laden 'confession tape' a fraud


confession tape does not exist, although it was purportedly distributed all around the middle east
Brit gov't released 'a transcript' of the alleged confession, Al Jazeera denies ever broadcasting such a tape

the so called 'confession' story that was plastered all over Indysites (not that the title 'Bin Laden - I did it' was lifted right off the Jack Van Impe site news wire

 http://melbourne.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=19243&group=webcast

and some reminders of Bin Laden's so called September 'confession'

Better luck next time Mr. Blair (and better luck next time Jack, and the rest of the religious right, who, as you can tell from Franklin Graham's recent comments on 'Islam as an evil religion' (the pot calls the kettle black) and as you can tell from Jack's postings encouraging war with Iraq and Somalia etc., are all just itching for more war, and given that no evidence can be produced that would stand up in a court of law (re: new 'terrorism military courts') are pretty hard up for a 'confession'

a few quotes that seem relevant by the way (I believe myself that the Reichstag has just burned down, but be that as it may, more is going on here than meets the eye)

"The twin towers attacks provided Bush's Washington with both a trigger and a
remarkable coincidence. Pakistan's former foreign minister Niaz Naik has revealed
that he was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against
Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October. The US secretary of state,
Colin Powell, was then travelling in central Asia, already gathering support for an
anti-Afghanistan war 'coalition'. For Washington, the real problem with the Taliban was
not human rights; these were irrelevant. The Taliban regime simply did not have total
control of

Afghanistan: a fact that deterred investors from financing oil and gas pipelines from
the Caspian Sea, whose strategic position in relation to Russia and China and whose
largely untapped fossil fuels are of crucial interest to the Americans. In 1998, Dick
Cheney told oil industry

executives: 'I cannot think of a time when we have had a region emerge as suddenly to
become as strategically significant as the Caspian.'" John Pilger

"Do you want to know the cause of war? It
is capitalism, greed, the dirty hunger for dollars. Take away the capitalist and you will
sweep war from the earth." Henry Ford
"Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow ... until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the
republic is destroyed." Abraham Lincoln "I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of
this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps.

I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during
that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for
Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to
operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents." Marine Corps Commandant Smedley Butler
