London bombings: the unasked and unanswered questions

Fazal Rahman | 28.10.2006 10:44 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism

Muslim resistance to US-UK imperialism gains nothing from the truly terrorist acts, like those of the London bombings. US imperialism is the main beneficiary of such acts. It is highly improbable that the leaders of Muslim resistance do not understand this or that they would carry out such actions for the benefit of their mortal enemy. Who actually carried out the London bombings?

London Bombings: Unasked and Unanswered Questions

Fazal Rahman, Ph.D.
written August 8, 2005

British authorities have laid the blame for the recent London bombings on some dead Muslim “suicide bombers”, who died, along with numerous other victims. Hundreds of people were also injured. Overwhelming majority of the dead and injured, as well as other passengers, on the trains and the bus, were not Muslims and were White British and other Westerners. And yet, the British authorities singled out a few Muslim passengers, who died in the bombings, as suspects, claiming that they were doing so on the basis of “forensic evidence”.

Nothing is easier than to blame such a crime on someone, who is dead and cannot defend himself, especially in the current hysteria of “War on Terrorism” in the West. There can be no conclusive and definitive “forensic evidence” in crimes of this nature. Whatever forensic evidence was found or concocted could have also been equally associated with numerous other victims as well as non-injured passengers.

Why would anyone blow himself/herself up during an attack like the London bombings, when it can be done rather easily by leaving the explosives on the trains and the bus, and disembarking without endangering oneself? The so-called “suicide bombers” in Palestine, Israel, and Iraq carry out such acts because they have very few, if any, other options in those situations. If they could carry out such actions without endangering or killing themselves, they would certainly choose that option.

The situation was totally different in London. The attackers had many options available to them. From the perspectives of the perpetrators, “suicide bombing” would be the most irrational, unnecessarily self-destructive, unlikely, and worst option in that situation, the ultimate psychopathic and self-destructive masochism. The best, most rational, and most likely option would have been, and most probably was, to leave the explosives on the targets, disembark, and then wait for the news of the results from a very safe distance. Logically, that is the most plausible and likely scenario. Most people who plan and carry out such acts are not stupid. They make careful and logical decisions and choose, what, they think, is the most practical and best option, from a variety of options, available to them in the particular situations.

Why was the above scenario not considered or considered seriously? Was it considered at all? If so, why has there been no public information or discussion of it?

The West has become totally decadent, unethical, and demonic, in subservience to the US imperialism. Almost every word the Western leaders, and especially those of the US, utter, in connection with the “war” on Iraq or “War on Terrorism”, is a most criminal, diabolical, and mass destructive lie. They are calling the invasion as “liberation”, occupation and colonialism as “democracy”, plunder and robbery as “generosity” and “reconstruction”, resistance to invasion, occupation, colonialism, plunder, and robbery as “insurgency”, and the March of Imperialism and Fascism as the “March of Freedom and Democracy”-and getting away with it! The victims of this most powerful and monstrous imperialist aggression are trying to resist it, the best they can, in face of incredible and seemingly impossible odds. However, Muslim resistance has nothing to gain, and a lot to lose, by bombings in London, Madrid, or elsewhere in Europe. Muslim resistance knows it and so do the imperialists.

Imperialists are the ones who reap enormous gains and benefits from such incidents, which are especially valuable at the current stage of developments, in which, the public support for the “War” on Iraq and “War on Terrorism” is rapidly declining, even in the US.

Is the Muslim resistance so ignorant, irrational, stupid, and masochistic that it would plan and implement such acts for the benefit of its mortal enemy, the US and British imperialism? Highly unlikely, almost impossible. If anyone is irrational, ignorant, and disinformed, it is the hundreds of millions of Westerners, who seem to be unable to see through the self-evident and mentally retarded lies of their leaders, in connection with the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Every Muslim child sees right through them and knows that these invasions are imperialist, centered around the robbery and plunder of the fabulous petroleum, natural gas, and other resources in these areas. There is no way that the leaders of Muslim resistance do not understand or know the effects of such actions and incidents. To portray them otherwise is pure racist and chauvinistic delusionism. And yet, such tactics are standard throughout the Western establishments, especially the official ones, under the influence of which, very large parts of their populations remain in perpetual state of false consciousness, in international and political affairs, bordering on delusions. The fact that one is hardly seeing any questioning of the official British version of the nature of London bombings, is a result of such mas produced “consciousness”, which defies all logic, facts, and evidence, and internalizes and reproduces the official garbage, thrown into it, with a mechanicalness comparable to the hard drive or compact disc of the computer.

In the case of London bombings, in the absence of any real evidence about the perpetrators, first and foremost, it is essential to ask who gains from such acts and who loses, as well as who has the resources, know-how, and operational abilities to carry them out. If those questions are asked, the compass needle moves to the imperialist aggressor and not its victims. Blaming the victims and exclusively focusing the investigation in that direction will not only implicate and victimize innocent people but will also further encourage the real perpetrators and planners to unleash more of such actions.

London bombings are likely to have been carried out by one or two well trained professionals, who carried the bomb-containing packages to the trains and the bus, left them there, and walked away, laughing all the way to the bank. The second London bombing, with minimal damages, may have been staged to further implicate the “Muslim extremists”, making, using, and planting primitive and inefficient explosive devices.

As described above, there are two major reasons for the implausibility and improbability of the involvement of Muslim resistance and “suicide bombers” in the London bombings:

1. In the London situation, there was no need for a suicide bombing. It could have been, and most probably was, carried out, relatively easily, without endangering oneself.
2. Muslim resistance has nothing to gain, and a lot to lose, by engaging in such acts in Europe, while the US imperialists are the main beneficiaries of such actions.

The above scenario, in spite of being hypothetical, is much more rational, plausible, and likely than what has been spun out so far by the British government. It is certainly worth looking into if the purpose of investigation is to uncover and find the real perpetrators of the London bombings, instead of finding the easiest way out by blaming some dead men as “suicide bombers”.

The real nature of the London bombings is likely to be incomparably more sinister than what is being manufactured by the British authorities. Whatever evidence is being produced could have easily been planted by the resourceful planners and perpetrators. It seems to have been the work of a highly professional and resourceful organization. US imperialists are becoming extremely unscrupulous and intoxicated in their international operations. Recently, the CIA has been caught red-handed in Italy in connection with the kidnapping and transport of a Muslim cleric to Egypt where he was subjected to prearranged jailing and torture. An Italian judge has issued arrest warrants for nineteen CIA agents, who are no longer in Italy, for that crime. There was also an uproar in the British academic circles when it was discovered that the CIA was recruiting British anthropologists. There is no lower limit for the infinitely low-lives, who can plan and implement such a grand mass murderous robbery as the one taking place in Iraq, in broad daylight, under pretexts that would put any mental retard to shame. Destruction of human lives not only means nothing to them, they feed and grow on it.

Why have no CCTV pictures of the bombers in London from the day been released?

Why no public enquiry?

What is the problem with questioning the holes in the official story? How long is your memory... don't you remember the Birmingham 6?

Remember that most the muslim terror scares evaporate -- the ones that are "thawted" appear to be mostly fabricated, see:

BRITAIN: The mysterious case of the disappearing 'terror’ plots
 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/10/352464.html

It makes no sense not to question the "official narrative" of the "war on terror".

some guy who claims to have a PhD (but is trangely low on Google returns) reads prisonplanet and writes a blog piece reiterating Alex Jones and offering nothing new?

PHD my ass

1. Well sure it could of been done with out suicide bombs, lots off attacks cound be done without suicide bombings - but were's the eternal life and virgins.

2. Muslim resistance has nothing to gain, and a lot to lose, by engaging in such acts in Europe, while the US imperialists are the main beneficiaries of such actions.

Well if its a religious obligation to do so the gain is eternal;

"Among many such groups, there are religious overtones to martyrdom: attackers and their supporters may believe that their sacrifice will be rewarded in an afterlife. Suicide attackers often believe that their actions are in accordance with moral or social standards because they are aimed at fighting forces and conditions that they perceive as unjust."

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_bombing

Since when has the 'muslim resistance' had and overal strategy and central command & control structure. If its your religious obligation to do something you do it, nevermind the concequences.

So in short - nonsense - phd my ass - prisonplanet repost for sure - back to the drawing board yes.

its a well known fact in the bombers home town where they purchased the bomb making equipments thicko..or sorry the cia/mossad,mfi or whatever got some impersonators to go into shops and pruchase very large quantities of h2o2 and stitch up these poor innocent guys who just happened to be sitting on seperate trains, sure there's unanswere questions but the really big ones have been answere already so get real you moron

It's interesting that any time this stuff is published, the site's Plant pops up to rehash the same old Disinfo against the author, instead of actually addressing what has been said.

Like 9/11, the Bliar Regime has been completely unable to present a compelling case to support the Conspiracy Theory it used to seize for itself powers the courts had denied it for four years.

The Regime has been caught in several LIES, and altered its version of events so many times, that it can hardly be viewed as genuine.

As remains the case with 9/11, only a real investigation, which allows the evidence to guide it, instead of starting with a conclusion and "fixing (or inventing) the facts". This is the only way we'll ever know what really happened, and who was responsible.

Otherwise, we risk rewarding the guilty, while severely punishing the innocent.

Al Qaeda = PNAC, CIA, Mossad (MI6?)

the bombers

30.10.2006 11:00

its funny how when someone can actually answer a simple question like ''where did they buy the materials from ?'' as a True fact, nobody seems slightly interesteed in hearing the answers, the fact is the london bombers sourced all the bomb ingredients locally in Leeds , how do I know ? because they bought it from a mates Hydroponic supplies shop , they also unsuccessfully tried to purchase it at another shop as a fall back, I've seen the deposit they left with the owner ,including cell phone number, they were asked to leave a deposit because it was an unusally large amount of h2o2........we all are aware that the state stitches people up but when your privvy to certain facts like these, sometimes the official line might just be the truth .,

talent spotter


But what bombs were used?

30.10.2006 14:01

"the fact is the london bombers sourced all the bomb ingredients locally in Leeds , how do I know ? because they bought it from a mates Hydroponic supplies shop"

But you seem to assume that these are the explosives that actually went off in London -- where is the proof of this?

If you watch Ludicrous Diversions it's clear that the forensice evidence about what the explosives actually were has never been released...

So when you say "sometimes the official line might just be the truth" what do you mean by the "official line"?

no convinced


What talent spotter

30.10.2006 14:35

So, Talentspotter, they bought their bomb ingredients in shops in Leeds? Could you therefore explain:

"Citing British forensic scientists involved in the investigation, The Times reported six days after the attacks, 'Traces of military plastic explosives, more deadly and efficient than commercia varieties, are understood to have been found in the debris of the wrecked Underground carriages and the bus'. According to one scientist, 'You keep hearing that terrorists can easily make a bomb from using instructions on the internet. You can, but not of the design and sophistication of these devices." - p25, 'The London Bombings', Nafeez Ahmed.

When's the last time you saw military grade explosives in the Tesco's counter?

insidejob


so....

30.10.2006 17:53

.....the fact that these 'innocent lads' can be verified buying ingredients for home made explosives, had to pass off comments about their strangely bleached hair in the days prior to the the explosions going off, just happened to have been on the trains and bus that exploded in London on the day of the bombings and subsequently turned up on videos admitting that they had committed the acts, should all be dismissed or ignored should it? Instead you would rather hang your wafer thin 'counter theory' on the fact that people like Claude Chabroul speculated in the press in the early days of the investigation that the explosives MAY have been military. That negates everything else does it....good grief!!

Time to plan the revolition is ending: We must now prepair for war

The Revolution Has Started

For the past few years I have written on the fascist overthrow of the American democracy and I have learned that revolution is unavoidable. We are being led into an entire new culture without even a fight. Our privacy is completely gone and we accept that the government is lying to us. Most of us know that the American government is using unethical methods to gain further control over the people, but nothing is done. Fear and manipulation has been used create public conformity into acceptance of all government actions. However, I have also learned that our government’s control over us is very weak and susceptible to revolution. The fascist American pseudo-dictatorship has attempted to pass laws in order to pressure further control over the herds. These new “law” are meaningless. We the people must ignore their legitimacy and provoke usage of these false regulations. Time for revolution is upon us and our victory is inevitable.

Our goverment only has a weak mind contol over the mass people, but it can be overcome. We must be clvoyant enough to realize that the laws being passed to take away out freedom are not used to capture terrorist; rather, they are being put in place for us, the American people. We can decide how things are run simply by majority rule. We must decide now how we want things to be done in this country. We must provoke action to be taken against us; it is then we will create a public stage through use of media attention. Their control over us can be used against them. It is our duty to act any way we choose fit, so if we want to keep our privacy then flood “Big Brother” with overloads of misinformation and send them on wild goose chases.The Revolution Has Started

We must not fear our government; it is our government who must fear us. We can decide how things are run simply by majority rule. We must decide now how we want things to be done in this country. We must provoke action to be taken against us; it is then we will create a public stage through use of media attention. Their control over us can be used against them. It is our duty to act any way we choose fit, so if we want to keep our privacy then flood “Big Brother” with overloads of misinformation and send them on wild goose chases. However, civil disobedience is not the only shape the revolution must take; it is essential that we unite through inspiration. Revolution can be successful in smaller numbers when people are truly committed to each other.

It is also essential that we must not fear terrorism. Terrorism has always existed in the world, but it has only been since the events of 9/11 that we have made it such a large part of our lives. Fighting terrorism through war is pointless; we can not kill every lunatic that uses mass murder to fight for what they believe. The American Fascist Alliance is simply creating more and more people who will disagree with American politics to their death. We can not hate on those who use violence against America as a public display of disobedience, because one day violence may be the only thing the American people can do to save its democracy. We the people must open communications with these radical opposes of American politics to gain better understanding of each other.

We must gain a better understanding of the people behind ‘terrorist’ acts of violence and learn how we can use them to save our democracy. Bin Laden simply had an extremely poor method of retaliation as his way to fight unethical American politics. He foolishly attacked elped the fascist American elite cloud the people into believing a false reality. his greatest ally and Terrorist are poorly educated freedom fighters that use methods which inevitably backfire. Terrorism is just a term that the fascist American elite is twisting in order to broaden its usage to define all forms of disobedience. We must not go to these Eastern cultures to kill, but instead we must reach out to them as the American people and unite. Our fascist American government is speaking for us, even when a majority of us do not support them. The mid-eastern people are just like us and we share similar goals. Our revolution does not only have support here in this country, but also has the support of nearly every country in the entire world.

And that is the key, isn’t it? Our revolution is not only essential in saving the American democracy; rather it is vital in saving the entire world. The term terrorism may soon very well be used to label American people who fight for revolution, but we must not let meaningless labels deter our methods or goals. Let them wear out the term with over usage. Give them what they want and state, “We are terrorist!” However, we will terrify the fascist elite with intelligence, unity, and civil disobedience rather then explosives and hate. If the “terrorist”, who we are in war with now, learn that they have allies here in American then that will help create safety from terrorist attacks. We can secure a safety that our lying imperialist government fails to achieve with their war-mongering. We can also open discussions between the mid-eastern “terrorist” in order to teach them more successful forms of disobedience. I have constantly searched for ways to inspire a united majority here in America, but I was not thinking globally. Majority support for the revolution is already overwhelming throughout the world. We can seek foreign media to help give legs to the revolution. Media of the countries that we bully may salivate over helping the American revolutionist.

The theme of this admittedly scattered expose is that we can say what we want because we are protected by the right of Free Speech. The government must recognize the revolution because it has officially started. So far we are left ignored, but that has only intensified our efforts. The time for revolution is here; the wheels are in motion. I promise I shall provoke action taken against me which will be supported by laws regulated by the American fascist regime. It is time that time for the youthful generations in America to showcase our power…... It is time…………………………………
