Mossad-Mombasa

This is a response to comments made by Jack Sludd regarding my personal doubts about the so-called Israel-Kenya connection.


Dear Whacko Jacko,

Thank you so much for recommending the link to 'Steven Seymour' - which reminds me; are you, Steven Seymour, and Joe Vialls actually one-in-the-same person, or just some kind of backdoor blogging buddies - because the three of you seem to be secreting and recycling the same tainted spurts of disinformation over and over again?

As far as the 'Mossad-Mombasa' connection - I'm afraid Mr. Vialls' argument had more holes in it than a security fence on an Israeli settlement.

But intrigued by your promise of a "wealth of info available for those who actively (which is spelled with an 'e' by the way), seek it" - I searched the web for more coherent evidence regarding the 'Mossad-Mombasa’ plot. I did, in fact, find 5-6 sites that promised exciting new revelations - but to my bitter disappointment they all featured exactly the same article by Mr. Vialls that had already so thoroughly under-whelmed me. In other words Whacko; nobody else is writing or theorising about 'Kenya-Gate' because nobody else even remotely considers it a viable possibility. At least with 9/11, there are other conspiracy addicts out there who have put forth a variety of dubious scenarios. But sadly, on this one it appears you're not only alone, you're a loon.

And speaking of 'conspiracies'... After you accused me of inappropriately using the term, I decided to look it up, and here's the definition according to Webster’s:

1. A combination of men for an evil purpose; an agreement, between two or more persons, to commit a crime in concert, as treason; a plot.

With this in mind Whacko, I invite you to peruse the site of your good friend - or mentor, or alter ego - Mr. Vialls and see if you can detect a tiny similarity in the various conclusions he's reached after his sp-called ‘investigations. Here’s just a brief sampling:

CRIME: 9/11 Bombings CULPRIT: Israel
CRIME: Bali Bombings CULPRIT: Israel
CRIME: Pan Am Flight 103 CULPRIT Israel
CRIME: Shoe Bomber CULPRIT Israel
CRIME: The existence of Arafat CULPRIT Israel
CRIME: Death of Lady Diana (!) CULPRIT Israel
CRIME: Passover Massacre CULPRIT Israel

The list goes on and on, but I think the point is clear: if a Conspiracy is "a combination of men for an evil purpose, committing a crime in concert such as treason; a plot" then I think Mr. Vialls’ characterisation of Israel’s actions would certainly fit the bill. In fact, it would seem that there’s barely a single act of terrorism in the 20th and 21st centuries that we can’t somehow trace back to the manipulative hands of those evil Israelis. (To be honest, once I learned that in Vialls’ mind Arafat was an Israeli operative, ‘al-Qaeda’ was a fictitious CIA invention, and the ‘al Jazeera’ network was merely a mouthpiece for some unnamed anti-Muslim organisation, I knew that he had moved beyond journalistic investigation, and was now hovering somewhere between extreme paranoia and unintentional self-parody.

May I also just add that by choosing to headline his article on the Passover Massacre – in which 20 innocent Jewish men, women, and children were killed – as ‘The Passover Jewbilee’ (notice his spelling), suddenly revealed a rather unsavory streak lying beneath Mr. Vialls’ Israeli obsession.

In response to my comment, ‘al-Qaeda itself has proudly acknowledged their involvement in the above-mentioned atrocities’, you wrote: ‘Well what were they going to do, ask Mossad to do their publicity for them?’ I’m not quite sure if I get your point here – assuming there is one. Are you saying that although Mossad really committed the act, ‘al-Qaeda’ decided to take credit for it – because according to Mr. Vialls, ‘al-Qaeda’ doesn’t even exist? Please illuminate me on your logic here Whacko.

You also accused me of dismissing the Internet as 'a debased medium' but in rereading my post I found no such reference. I can only assume that this relates to my description of you and your blogging buddies as 'a crack team of groovy cyber-sleuths' - but I hardly see how this constitutes a full-frontal attack on the entire Internet. From extreme paranoia to self-parody….

A few other thoughts…

I noticed in an earlier post that you employed one of the most frequently used defenses and rallying cries for Islam: (To paraphrase) "Islam was an advanced civilisation at a time when the Western World didn’t even know how to wipe its ass’.

And so?

Michael Jackson used to be a credible pop musician – but now he’s got half a face and dangles babies over balconies. So should I still buy his new album?

Maybe the West couldn’t wipe its ass – but that’s why it went on to perfect modern plumbing. The point is, it progressed, which is something the Muslim world seems utterly incapable of.

The issue is not what the Islamic world was –but what the Islamic world is – and what it ‘is’, is a big under-achieving mess. All those people, all that free n' easy oil money, and yet what scientific, technological, socio-political or artistic advancements have they bestowed upon the world in past 100 years? 200 years? Please share with me all those memorable Islamic acts of altruism and charity (to non-Muslims), please enlighten me as to their contributions in the fight for freedom, justice and full human rights (meaning women as well), all around the globe – not just in Gaza?

Lastly, in two earlier posts you’ve made references to my ‘sky ghost’. Forgive my ignorance, but I’m afraid I don’t know what a ‘sky ghost’ is – although I must say it sounds like something Carlos Castaneda might have puked up after a bad peyote trip. In an effort to help me stop ‘looking behind the sofa’ and seek the truth, could you please enlighten me as to the meaning of ‘sky ghost’?

In the meantime,

Do yourself a favour and Wake up Whacko!


Peter
