Olbermann Exposes Nexus Of Politics And Terror
Details ten clear examples where Bush admin. alerts preceded by damaging revelations

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | August 15 2006

During a prime time segment on his MSNBC show last night, anchor Keith Olbermann presented ten clear examples where the Bush administration had issued terror alerts days after politically damaging revelations and questioned the credibility of each of the alleged plots' authenticity in light of astounding evidence to the contrary.

Olbermann overwhelmingly documents the staged timing of terror alerts spanning back four years and ends by scrutinizing the latest alleged liquid bomb plot - an operation infiltrated and surveilled for months by intelligence agencies, yet announced to the public on a carefully scripted pre-arranged schedule.

The alleged foiling of the terror plot was announced days after darling of the Neo-Fascists Joe Lieberman was defeated in the Connecticut Senatorial election by anti-war opponent Ned Lamont. Hours afterwards, drooling feverish Neo-Con cheerleaders tried to smear Lamont as "the Al-Qaeda candidate."

Something not covered in the Olbermann segment is that - allied to the timing of terror alerts - in every major terror bust case any evidence that supposedly proves a plot actually existed quickly evaporates into thin air with police, government and security officials unapologetic as to the rash implementation and consequences of their actions.

Actions that lead to deadly confrontations and loss of innocent life such as in the case of Jean Charles de Menezes who was repeatedly shot in the head by CO19 special officers as he innocently went about his business at Stockwell tube station. People not already having nervous breakdowns on planes will be less than delighted to learn that one of the officers involved in the shooting has been promoted to train sky marshalson flights from UK to America.

Latest revelations concerning the alleged liquid bomb plot only lend further credence to the assertion that it was a brainchild of the US and UK intelligence agency script writers - fronted by Home Secretary John Reid (pictured) - who is blatantly grandstanding as some kind of Churchillian type figure in the hope of increasing his prospects of taking over from Blair as leader of the Labour Party and British Prime Minister.



"Home Secretary John Reid's assured handling of an alleged plot to blow up airliners in mid-Atlantic has strengthened his credentials to succeed Tony Blair as prime minister," reports the Scotsman.

Meanwhile, dovetailing with our investigation of the Pakistani ISI link to the alleged liquid bomb plot - it is reported today that the terror cell was funded by a Pakistani charity that last year received 10 million dollars From the British government, supposedly for "earthquake relief." As we previously highlighted, Pakistani intelligence agency and charity group links to militant terror groups continue with the blessing of the CIA, who have deliberately and consistently chosen to ignore the connection.

In a related story, an over hyped flap that suggested a large purchase of mobile phones from a Wal-Mart store in Michigan was part of a plot to blow up the the Mackinac Bridge was totally discredited and the suspects released without charge. Their master plan was to buy mobile phones in bulk for re-sale - which is apparently Al-Qaeda like behavior in the United States of Fear. Why they would need 80 mobile phones to trigger one bomb was a question never even asked.

Mike Rivero at WhatReallyHappened.com sums up the insanity up putting someone under suspicion simply because of pictures stored on their digital camera.

"I guess that means I am planning to blow up...

1. The USS Arizona

2. The neighbor's dog

3. My wife

4. The dent in my Honda

5. A pineapple

6. The moon

"Because those are all pictures I have had in my digital camera."

Keith Olbermann and CNN's Lou Dobbs don't have to try too hard to trounce the vast majority of mainstream media talking head government apologists and though a great deal of their material is distracting (in the case of Olbermann) or off-target (Dobbs), both should be commended for standing up to the self-regulating journalistic cowardice that pervades network news and hitting the bullseye on all the major issues.
