‘Nothing to link Muslims with attacks’

Financial Times | 28.07.2005 17:39

Just enough for the LIARS in the Blair Gov't to weave an elaborate Conspiracy Theory, and the media to air such dangerous speculation. The media doesn't even repeat claims from Governments when the Mossad is suspected of something. Imagine if the suspects had been Israeli?

Perhaps they are ...

‘Nothing to link Muslims with attacks’
By Jonathan Guthrie
Published: July 27 2005 20:24 | Last updated: July 27 2005 20:24

Mohammed Naseem, Birmingham's most prominent Muslim leader, claimed yesterday there was nothing to prove Muslims carried out bomb attacks in London on July 7 and 21.

The comments of the chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque are surprising given the wealth of evidence, including DNA matches and CCTV images, linking at least eight young Muslim men to the outrages.

However, his views are held by a significant number of British Muslims. Some blame the US and Israel for terrorist attacks such as September 11, revealing a deep distrust of the British authorities.

Mr Naseem denied there was any convincing evidence the September 11 attacks on New York had been carried out by the al-Qaeda terrorist organisation. He said: “Muslims across the world know of no organisation called al-Qaeda. That information comes from the CIA.”

Mr Naseem, who represents a congregation of several thousand, was speaking in Bordesley Green close to the scene of yesterday's police anti-terrorism operation. Asked whether he believed Muslim terrorists attacked London on July 7 and 21, he said: “I have not seen the evidence for that.” He said: “All we have is CCTV camera photos, identity cards and driving licences. These could have been innocent men.”

Talib Hussain, a representative of Birmingham council who was also present, said: “Certain faith groups have been identified as being behind [the bombings] and that is wrong.” Mr Naseem said Muslims had lost faith in anti-terrorist police and the security services.

Terror Keeps People Compliant

28.07.2005 21:01

Attentive journalists have already uncovered solid evidence that the London bombings were an "inside job," orchestrated--or at least "allowed" to happen--by industry and government insiders (US, UK, and/or others). Just like last year's Madrid train bombings, and just like 9/11. Read the following aticles and book excerpts, and spread the word! WE HAVE A CHANCE RIGHT NOW--BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA SPIN A MYTH THAT WILL EXPAND THEIR WARS--TO DEMAND AND LEARN THE TRUTH.
The articles listed below present striking evidence that high-level insiders within the military/industrial/government complex orchestrated, facilitated, or at least allowed the July 7, 2005 London bombings. The evidence points to UK insiders as well as insiders from the US and possibly other nations. The evidence raises the possibility that the bombings may have occurred with absolutely NO involvement by "Islamic extremists," Iranians, Syrians, or anyone else likely to be blamed when the Official Explanation is unveiled.

The evidence includes the fact that a 1,000-person strong London underground bombing 'exercise' was underway AT THE SAME TIME the London bombings occurred (heard about the multiple US war games underway on 9/11, some of which included live-fly 'hijacked' aircraft?) and the fact that the shadowy "Al Qaeda-Related" website where postings claimed responsibility for the bombings was hosted in Maryland--right next door to Washington, D.C.

Question: how are we to respond if the greatest real threat to our security, our liberty, and our very lives now comes, in fact, from rogue elements--well-connected insiders--within our own governments? For starters, how about this: 1) Demand an end to the sham "War on Terror" (a "war" which, by definition, is meaningless), 2) Demand that the so-called USA Patriot Act be repealed, and 3) Convene an independent, international citizen's tribunal on ending all state-sponsored terrorism, worldwide? What ideas do you have?

READ THE ARTICLES BELOW, AND SPREAD THE WORD NOW--BEFORE THE OFFICIAL MYTH IS SPUN.

AND URGE YOUR CONGRESS MEMBERS, NOW, TO *REPEAL* THE USA PATRIOT ACT, WHICH CONGRESS IS CURRENTLY CONSIDERING MAKING PERMANENT.

For background information on 9/11 and state-sponsored terrorism, please read on.


######################################

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT 9/11

The Official Explanation of 9/11 is an UNPROVEN conspiracy theory; that the attacks were planned and conducted by 19 or 20 "Al Qaeda Islamic jihadists" who conspired under the direction of a cave-dwelling, kidney-impaired Osama Bin Laden, with no foreknowledge or involvement by anyone within the US government.

THIS CONSPIRACY THEORY AND THE "9/11 COMMISSION REPORT" HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY DEBUNKED BY U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL RESEARCHERS. Even the videos in which Osama purportedly takes responsibility for 9/11 have been debunked (by mainstream British media, among others) as having been doctored and/or faked.

The warmongering mainstream media (and the majority of "liberal" media, including "The Nation" magazine and most voices on Pacifica radio) won't tell you this, and only a few courageous Members of Congress have dared to speak the truth...so far.

But you can educate yourself.

Spend some time at www.911truth.org, www.globalresearch.ca, and the websites linked to in the lists of articles below. Watch the bizarre collapse of 40-plus-story tall WTC Building 7 (unexplained in the 9/11 Commission's report) at www.wtc7.net. Get a copy of Canadian journalist Barry Zwicker's documentary "The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw" (see www.greatconspiracy.ca).

Read the article "The 9/11 Commission Report: A 571-Page Lie" by Christian theologian Dr. David Ray Griffin at www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20050523112738404.

Read the books listed at the end of this article.

And consider the following, from page 194 of John Perkins' 2004 book, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man":

"I recalled reading that the World Trade Center was a project started by David Rockefeller in 1960, and that in recent years the complex had been considered an albatross. It had the reputation of being A FINANCIAL MISFIT, UNSUITED TO MODERN FIBER-OPTIC AND INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES, AND BURDENED WITH AN INEFFICIENT AND COSTLY ELEVATOR SYSTEM. Those two towers once had been nicknamed David and Nelson. Now the albatross was gone."

Mr. Perkins doesn't mention this, but it's also been reported that the World Trade Center needed costly asbestos-abatement work. (Halliburton, or one of its subsidiaries, has been among the construction firms involved in asbestos-liability lawsuits; is it possible that the WTC's asbestos problem was also a Halliburton problem?)

THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK YOU HAVEN'T YET READ ABOUT 9/11 AND STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM

Webster G. Tarpley's book "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA" is a book you need now. It's so new it's hard to find in stores, but it's available via www.waronfreedom.org/index.html#synth and elsewhere online. Tarpley's overall conclusions are remarkably consistent with the conclusions of other independent 9/11 researchers, while each researcher offers uniquely valuable insights; see the book list below.

Here are a few insights from Tarpley's book (with all-caps emphasis added):

"9/11 was an example of state-sponsored, false-flag, synthetic terrorism, herinafter called simply synthetic terrorism. My thesis is that the 9/11 events were organized and directed by a rogue network of high government and military officials of the United States, with a certain participation by the intelligence agencies of Britain and Israel, and with a more general backup from the intelligence agencies of...Australia, New Zealand, [and] Canada." (p. 10)

"SYNTHETIC TERRORISM IS A STRATEGY USED BY OLIGARCHS FOR THE PURPOSE OF WAGING WAR ON THE PEOPLE--PARTICULARLY ON THE MIDDLE CLASS ... My own understanding of these events is informed by having experienced first hand, as analyst, journalist, and author, the Italian and German terrorism of the 1970s and 1980s. ...The kidnap-murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro had reached its tragic climax in May 1978, when Moro's body was found ... Moro had been killed by NATO intelligence, using the Red Brigades as tool and camouflage at the same time." (p. 8)

"What happens when the wars, policies and institutional changes desired by the ruling elite are inimical to the vast majority of citizens and cannot gain their understanding or support? ...under these conditions, especially if the political and economic systems are in crisis, state-sponsored terrorism may emerge" (p. 59)

"...the vast majority of international terrorism conducted on a spectacular scale is indeed state-sponsored terrorism." (p. 59)

"With the publication of the [Kean-Hamilton 9/11 Commission report], the pattern of cover-up and incompetence on the part of the officially constituted investigative agencies of the United States Government is complete. Since September 11, 2001, no part of the United States Government has offered a convincing, coherent or complete explanation of the events of that day, and of other events related to them. Indeed, NO US GOVERNMENT AGENCY HAS EVER SO MUCH AS PROPOSED TO PROVE THE TRUTH OF THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT..." (p. 13)

and maybe read Neil Doyle's great book 'Terror Tracker' (subject of a DA-Notice on its press coverage - due to the ongoing trial of Abu Hamza, the opening of which coincided with the current wave of bombs).

Incidentally I see a Labour MP has already called for the resignation of that Birmingham cleric. Shame on the careerist fool.

One again "PsyOps" tries to discredit the left

29.07.2005 09:38


I am becoming increasingly disturbed by the possibly secret-state directed efforts of the poster going under the name "don't believe the psyops" to distract the left from credible debate and discussion.

>>Attentive journalists have already uncovered solid evidence that the London bombings >>were an "inside job," orchestrated--or at least "allowed" to happen--by industry and
>>government insiders (US, UK, and/or others).

Er, there is no solid evidence of this at all. Anywhere. There is just baseless rambling.

>>WE HAVE A CHANCE RIGHT NOW--BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA SPIN >>A MYTH THAT WILL EXPAND THEIR WARS--TO DEMAND AND LEARN THE TRUTH.

Apparently we are to believe that imperialist wars have no ideological consequences, and that some of the people suffering as a result have no autonomous modes of resistence. Some of that resistence is progressive and legitimate; some of it is reactionary - even in the case of al-qaeda style ideology analogous with fascism in the way it feeds on real problems but offers reactionary solutions.

But "psyops" seems to think "our wars" play out without any consequences among victim populations. This is reactionary bullshit.

>>The articles listed below present striking evidence that high-level insiders within the >>military/industrial/government complex orchestrated, facilitated blah blah

No they don't. They present unadultered drivel based on nothing.

>>The evidence points to UK insiders as well as insiders from the US and possibly other >>nations.

No it doesn't. There isn't any such evidence.

>>The evidence includes the fact that a 1,000-person strong London underground >>bombing 'exercise' was underway AT THE SAME TIME the London bombings occurred

This is not a fact as presented. It seems there was an office based "exercise" (if you can call it that) by a private security firm run by ex-state employees, and that's it.

>>the fact that the shadowy "Al Qaeda-Related" website where postings claimed >>responsibility for the bombings was hosted in Maryland--right next door to Washington, >>D.C.

One claim of responsibility was made on www.qal3ah.org, which is registered to someone in Abu Dhabi. I don't know what significance where sites are hosted is supposed to have.

Resorting to a conspiracy theory on every occasion is not a way to have intelligent political discussion. There are very real, very easily detected sources of power in the world and it's fair to see the connections between those forces (i.e. racism, sexism, homophobia, classism). It is most often those who benefit from these forces (middle class, straight, white guys) who seek to distract everyone from discussing them.

Unfortunately, this doesn't just happen with reactionaries. There are many people involved in left-wing activism who look for the same out from looking critically at themselves and how they perpetuate power structures. Some people try to discredit discussions about race or gender by claiming that class is the only form of oppression or feminists try to claim that only gender is important. Others just resort to conspiracy theories that support a warped worldview that everyone is oppressed equaly by secret forces and in the process, deny any personal accountability.

I agree that the people who distract everyone with this drivel are annoying, but I'm not sure if developing your own conspiracy theory about their secret motives is the best way to refute them.

'Chatterton' the Spook does what many positively ID'ed Spooks working IMCs have done - suggest that his opponent is the one working the site professionally, Takes the focus off of him, and people tend to believe what they are told first, according to Disinfo/Propaganda/Hasbara guidelines posted all over IMC.

Hello Golfballs!

The second link flagged by Simon above will have created all-time record echelon interest in Indymedia! Hi Golfballs!

Psyops and Chat can argue for a while about who swings to the left or right or the largactyl barmy army side of things. There are ummah out there who don't care where you swing - they want to swing us all by the neck. They may well be a creation of imperialist foreign policy, not to mention Operation Gladio. But they do exist and those of us here on indymedia hoping for a world free of capital and alienation are the same as Fox News to them.

Positively ID'ed spooks, eh? I assume that's old PsychoOops term for anyone who disagrees with his "opinion pieces" or shows a healthy degree of cynicism when it comes to the wilder theories.

Well okay mate...on you go, prove that any correspondents are government/securtity forces plants. Real proof. Betcha can't.

Focus Still Interesting

31.07.2005 18:32

I'm not going to provide you with my info, no. You, or any interested reader, can contact the Administrators of any of the Canadian IMC's about this issue, especially those on the West coast.

They'll be able to help you out, as they have a wealth of experience in this area, as have the magazines I contribute to.

PS - "Chatterton"? Just a pointer: People I know who are involved in the Opposition/Social Justice Movement don't refer to themselves as "The Left".

That label is most often applied by the Hard Right, in an attempt to misrepresent their Opposition's beliefs, popularity, and diversity, as well as hide how far to the Right, outside of the mainstream they, themselves, really are.

What they refer to is actually an Informed Centre ...

Just one thing that identifies you right off.

Do Some Digging


Keep digging

31.07.2005 22:42

So you will not, or cannot, substantiate your assertion that a substantial number of spooks - which we are to assume means government/estabslishment "plants" - frequently post to this site.

Hmm. Wonder why so few folk believe you?

Paranoid Pete


Whatever, Chatterbox

31.07.2005 22:59

As usual, your comment is a misrepresentation of the truth. No, I won't give you my information, for several reasons, but you are more than welcome to contact the people I mentioned, for they have all had run-ins with Plants & Trolls.

So you cannot, or will not, substantiate your claims that the site is the subject of disinformation or reactionary comments by government/security service operatives but expect us to believe you? And if we have the temerity to question this strange stance, we are too classed simply as "spooks" and "trolls"?

Oh dearie, dearie, me......

One last time. Prove your original claim. Properly. Betcha can't.

I dare say. But it's a damn good descriptor and I can't think of a better one. It is also widely used on "the left" (for want of a better term).

See for example (and my use of these links doesn't imply approval of the political positions of the writers - I just put them forward as evidence that the term is widely used across the social-justice spectrum):

Typical Manipulation, Right On Cue

Your links point to socialists.

I'm talking about the Informed Centre, the majority opposition to this Neo-Fascism which has been hoisted upon us by the people who employ you to be here.

And I should also add that, while many Government Plants have been routed out and positively-ID'ed, so have even more people who volunteer to do this work, most of whom are dispatched by Hate Sites such as LGF, Front Page, etc ...

All they're missing now are the brown shirts.

Nice Try, Spook
