On September 15 I received the following message from Professor John Metzger of Michigan State University:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;"We should revisit the history of BCCI, a bank used by the legendary Palestinian terrorist known as Abu Nidal. BCCI was closely tied to American and Pakistan intelligence. Its clients included the Afghan rebels, and the brother of Osama bin Laden, Salem. Salem bin Laden named Houston investment broker James R. Bath as his business representative in Texas, right after George W. Bush's father became CIA director in 1976. By 1977, Bath invested $50,000 into junior's first business, Arbusto Energy, while Osama bin Laden would soon become a CIA asset. George W. Bush's FBI director Robert Mueller was part of the Justice Department's questionable investigation of BCCI. (On BCCI, the bin Ladens, and the Bushes, see the books, The Outlaw Bank, A Full Service Bank, and Fortunate Son)."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Further details of the business and financial relationships between the Bush and bin Laden family are found in Peter Brewton's 1992 book The Mafia, CIA and George Bush.

Secretary of State Colin Powell called the attacks "an act of war" and President Bush confirmed in an evening televised address to the Nation that he would "make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Former CIA Director James Woolsey pointed his finger at "state sponsorship," implying the complicity of one or more foreign governments. In the words of former National Security Adviser, Lawrence Eagleburger, "I think we will show when we get attacked like this, we are terrible in our strength and in our retribution."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Meanwhile, parroting official statements, the Western media mantra has approved the launching of "punitive actions" directed against civilian targets in the Middle East. In the words of William Saffire writing in the New York Times: "When we reasonably determine our attackers' bases and camps, we must pulverize them -- minimizing but accepting the risk of collateral damage" -- and act overtly or covertly to destabilize terror's national hosts".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;The following text outlines the history of Osama Bin Laden and the links of the Islamic "Jihad" to the formulation of US foreign policy during the Cold War and its aftermath.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; max-width: 99%; min-width: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wtyJ4fiaL7A/Tb6n_ny2ewI/AAAAAAAABS8/AxHVeJW3aVg/s1600/CIA+osama.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3e8fba; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; min-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wtyJ4fiaL7A/Tb6n_ny2ewI/AAAAAAAABS8/AxHVeJW3aVg/s400/CIA+osama.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; min-width: 0px; position: relative;" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Prime suspect in the New York and Washington terrorists attacks, branded by the FBI as an "international terrorist" for his role in the African US embassy bombings,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Saudi born Osama bin Laden was recruited during the Soviet-Afghan war "ironically under the auspices of the CIA, to fight Soviet invaders".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;In 1979 "the largest covert operation in the history of the CIA" was launched in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in support of the pro-Communist government of Babrak Kamal.:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;With the active encouragement of the CIA and Pakistan's ISI [Inter Services Intelligence], who wanted to turn the Afghan jihad into a global war waged by all Muslim states against the Soviet Union, some 35,000 Muslim radicals from 40 Islamic countries joined Afghanistan's fight between 1982 and 1992. Tens of thousands more came to study in Pakistani madrasahs.

His burial took place within 24 hours, in line with Muslim religious rules, and in an unmarked grave, which is a Wahhabi custom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;The author insists that the many Bin Laden tapes made since that date have been concocted by the West to make the world believe Bin Laden is alive. The purpose? To stoke up waning support for the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;To understand Griffin's thesis, we must remember the West's reaction to 9/11, that fateful sunny September day in 2001. Within a month, on Sunday, October 7, the U.S. and Britain launched massive retaliatory air strikes in the Tora Bora region where they said 'prime suspect' Bin Laden was living 'as a guest of Afghanistan'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;This military offensive ignored the fact that Bin Laden had already insisted four times in official Al Qaeda statements made to the Arab press that he played no role in 9/11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Indeed, on the fourth occasion, on September 28 and a fortnight after the atrocity, he declared emphatically: 'I have already said I am not involved. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge... nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Within hours of the October 7 strikes by the U.S. on Tora Bora, Bin Laden made his first ever appearance on video tape. Dressed in Army fatigues, and with an Islamic head-dress, he had an assault rifle propped behind him in a broadly lit mountain hideout. Significantly, he looked pale and gaunt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Although he called President George W. Bush 'head of the infidels' and poured scorn on the U.S., he once again rejected responsibility for 9/11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Then came a second videotape on November 3, 2001. Once again, an ailing Bin Laden lashed out at the United States. He urged true Muslims to celebrate the attacks - but did not at any time acknowledge he had been involved in the atrocity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;And then there was silence until December 13, 2001 - the date Griffin claims Bin Laden died. That very day, the U.S. Government released a new video of the terror chief. In this tape, Bin Laden contradicted all his previous denials, and suddenly admitted to his involvement in the atrocity of 9/11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;The tape had reportedly been found by U.S. troops in a private home in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, after anti-Taliban forces took over the city. A label attached to it claimed that it had been made on November 9, 2001.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;In this recording, bin Laden is a weighty man with a black beard, not a grey one. His pale skin had suddenly become darker, and he had a different shaped nose. His artistic hands with slender fingers had transformed into those of a pugilist. He looked in exceedingly good health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Furthermore, Bin Laden can be seen writing a note with his right hand, although he is left-handed. Bizarrely, too, he makes statements about 9/11 which Griffin claims would never have come from the mouth of the real Bin Laden - a man with a civil engineering degree who had made his fortune (before moving into terrorism) from building construction in the Middle East.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;For example, the Al Qaeda leader trumpets that far more people died in 9/11 than he had expected. He goes on: 'Due to my experience in this field, I was thinking that the explosion from the gas in the plane would melt the iron structure of the building and collapse the area where the plane hit and all the floors above it only. That is all we had hoped for.' (In reality the Twin Towers' completely fell down).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;The words of the true Bin Laden? No, says Griffin, because of the obvious mistakes. 'Given his experience as a contractor, he would have known the Twin Towers were framed with steel, not iron,' he says.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;'He would also known that steel and iron do not begin to melt until they reach 2,800 deg F. Yet a building fire fed by jet fuel is a hydrocarbon fire, and could not have reached above 1,800 deg F.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;Griffin, in his explosive book, says this tape is fake, and he goes further.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;'A reason to suspect that all of the post-2001 Bin Laden tapes are fabrications is that they often appeared at times that boosted the Bush presidency or supported a claim by its chief 'war on terror' ally, British Prime Minister Tony Blair.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;'The confession tape came exactly when Bush and Blair had failed to prove Bin Laden's responsibility for 9/11 and both men were trying to win international public support, particularly in the Islamic world, for the anti-terrorist campaign.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;As for the matter of what happened to him, hints of Bin Laden's kidney failure, or that he might be dead, first appeared on January 19, 2002, four months after 9/11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;This was when Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf told America's news show CNN: 'I think now, frankly, he is dead for the reason he is a kidney patient. The images of him show he is extremely weak.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;In his book, Professor Griffin also endorses this theory. He says Bin Laden was treated for a urinary infection, often linked to kidney disease, at the American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001, two months before 9/11. At the same time, he ordered a mobile dialysis machine to be delivered to Afghanistan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;How could Bin Laden, on the run in snowy mountain caves, have used the machine that many believe was essential to keep him alive? Doctors whom Griffin cites on the subject think it would have been impossible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;He would have needed to stay in one spot with a team of medics, hygienic conditions, and a regular maintenance programme for the dialysis unit itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;And what of the telling, small news item that broke on December 26, 2001 in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Wafd? It said a prominent official of the Afghan Taliban had announced that Osama Bin Laden had been buried on or about December 13.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;'He suffered serious complications and died a natural, quiet death. He was buried in Tora Bora, a funeral attended by 30 Al Qaeda fighters, close members of his family and friends from the Taliban. By the Wahhabi tradition, no mark was left on the grave,' said the report.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;The Taliban official, who was not named, said triumphantly that he had seen Bin Laden's face in his shroud. 'He looked pale, but calm, relaxed and confident.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; min-width: 0px;"&gt;It was Christmas in Washington DC and London and the report hardly got a mention. Since then, the Bin Laden tapes have emerged with clockwork regularity as billions have been spent and much blood spilt on the hunt for him.&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;Other Articles:&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://humansarefree.com/2011/02/everything-about-rothschild-zionism.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3e8fba; min-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;David Icke: Everything about the Rothschild Zionism&lt;/a&gt;;&lt;br style="min-width: 0px;" /&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://humansarefree.com/2011/03/3-world-wars-planned-by-illuminati.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3e8fba; min-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;3 World Wars Planned by Illuminati Alber Pike in 1871!

Lindsey Graham of South Carolina grilled Obama’s attorney general on how the administration would handle terrorists caught in the future. “If we captured bin Laden tomorrow, would he be entitled to Miranda warnings at the moment of capture?” said Graham.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;Eric Holder wasn’t sure how to answer Graham’s question. He said it “all depends” if Osama bin Laden would be read his Miranda rights. Holder’s apparent confusion is rather perplexing coming from the top cop in the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;Graham understands the law better than Obama’s attorney general. “Well, it does not depend,” Graham replied. “If you’re going to prosecute anybody in civilian court, our law is clear that the moment custodial interrogation occurs, the defendant – the criminal defendant – is entitled to a lawyer and to be informed of their right to remain silent.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;Not that Graham believes accused terrorists deserve a day in court. He believes Holder is guilty of “making bad history” in his decision to send Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his supposed co-conspirators to New York for trial in civilian court.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;“We’re making bad history here,”&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/18/holder-testify-sept-trial-decision-capitol-hill/" rel="nofollow" style="color: black; min-width: 0px;" target="_blank"&gt;Graham said&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;sup style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on November 18. “The big problem I have is that you’re criminalizing the war….

A lot of times people associate this with chronic illness. Doctors can certainly look at that and determine some clinical features…. The sort of frosting of the appearance is something that people a lot of times associate with chronic kidney failure, renal failure, certainly someone who is requiring dialysis would have that,” said Gupta on January 21, 2002.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;“Of course, by the time Gupta had made his prognosis, the CIA asset bin Laden was dead and buried, as patients with chronic kidney failure do not fare well in the Afghan outback without a kidney dialysis machine, unless we are to believe Osama’s helpers ferried one in, or maybe the ISI did by way of the CIA’s Air America transport,”&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://revolutionradio.org/?p=4237" rel="nofollow" style="color: black; min-width: 0px;" target="_blank"&gt;this correspondent wrote&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;sup style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;[9]&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;with a measured degree of sarcasm on September 9, 2007, after a spate of supposed Osama videos appeared, more than a few with the assistance of the SITE Institute,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.breakthematrix.com/Government/Rita-Katz-folds-S-I-T-E-Institute-and-opens-SITE-Intelligence-Group-Can-another-Bin-Laden-tape-be-in-the-making" rel="nofollow" style="color: black; min-width: 0px;" target="_blank"&gt;a documented Mossad propaganda front&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;sup style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;[10]&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;(SITE shares an IP address with another Israeli intelligence front, MEMRI).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="min-width: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;In September of 2007, a revitalized Osama appeared in a video complete with a Grecian Formula makeover.

AP&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jG7UJ7x8ozawcWS0Y1tE6OChe3Jw?docId=7079d8b79ab04465a1030dfaf9e04510" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;reports&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;CAIRO (AP) -- Muslim clerics said Monday that Osama bin Laden's burial at sea was a violation of Islamic tradition that may further provoke militant calls for revenge attacks against American targets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although there appears to be some room for debate over the burial -- as with many issues within the faith -- a wide range of senior Islamic scholars interpreted it as a humiliating disregard for the standard Muslim practice of placing the body in a grave with the head pointed toward the holy city of Mecca. [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bin Laden's burial at sea "runs contrary to the principles of Islamic laws, religious values and humanitarian customs," said Sheik Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand Imam of Cairo's al-Azhar mosque, Sunni Islam's highest seat of learning. [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"They can say they buried him at sea, but they cannot say they did it according to Islam," Mohammed al-Qubaisi, Dubai's grand mufti, said about bin Laden's burial. "If the family does not want him, it's really simple in Islam: You dig up a grave anywhere, even on a remote island, you say the prayers and that's it."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Sea burials are permissible for Muslims in extraordinary circumstances," he added. "This is not one of them." [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"What was done by the Americans is forbidden by Islam and might provoke some Muslims," said another Islamic scholar from Iraq, Abdul-Sattar al-Janabi, who preaches at Baghdad's famous Abu Hanifa mosque. "It is not acceptable and it is almost a crime to throw the body of a Muslim man into the sea. The body of bin Laden should have been handed over to his family to look for a country or land to bury him."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Compare that to what a "senior White House official"&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm/0511/bin_ladens_body_c2fb2ffb-5240-40c6-b106-956bf2ebff6a.html" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;told Politico&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to justify the dumping:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Asked how bin Laden's body will be treated, a senior administration official told reporters on a conference call that "we are ensuring that is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The official, who refused to be identified, said the matter is "something that we take very seriously, and so, therefore, this is being handled in an appropriate manner."&lt;/blockquote&gt;How convenient they disposed of his dead body, so much for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=35144" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;producing any overwhelmingly compelling evidence&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;it's actually Bin Laden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2556713347489405343-4084682203217283730?l=ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/feeds/4084682203217283730/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/another-lie-exposed-disposing-of-osamas.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/4084682203217283730?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/4084682203217283730?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/another-lie-exposed-disposing-of-osamas.html' title='Another lie exposed: Disposing of Osama&apos;s body at sea is NOT in compliance with Islamic law ...'/><author><name>Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01036201147908511253</uri><email>salamsaha@gmail.com</email></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;A0INR3w_eip7ImA9WhdUFEU.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556713347489405343.post-5455534792144793500</id><published>2011-10-01T10:19:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T10:19:56.242-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-10-01T10:19:56.242-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy'/><title>Osama Bin Laden Has Been Dead For Years ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"&gt;Now that Osama's dead body is being trotted out to boost Obama's approval ratings, er, because he was just killed in a raid or some nonsense, it's worth taking a look back at the researchers who concluded Osama bin Laden died years ago. David Ray Griffin&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1566567831/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=informati049d-20&amp;amp;camp=213381&amp;amp;creative=390973&amp;amp;linkCode=as4&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1566567831&amp;amp;adid=0JXEAYET40YV8X5S93X4&amp;amp;" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;wrote an entire book about it&lt;/a&gt;. Mike Rivero also wrote the article "&lt;a href="http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/osama_dead.php" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Osama bin Laden: A dead nemesis perpetuated by the US government&lt;/a&gt;," where he cited numerous heads of state, CIA agents, intelligence officials, etc. who all concluded Osama has been dead for years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's a run down of some of the evidence detailed in David Ray Griffin's&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1566567831/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=informati049d-20&amp;amp;camp=213381&amp;amp;creative=390973&amp;amp;linkCode=as4&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1566567831&amp;amp;adid=0JXEAYET40YV8X5S93X4&amp;amp;" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;book&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from an&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=15601" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;article he wrote&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in October, 2009.:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Objective Evidence that Bin Laden is Dead&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The objective evidence includes the following facts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, up until mid-December 13, 2001, the CIA had regularly been intercepting messages between bin Laden and his people. At that time, however, the messages suddenly stopped, and the CIA has never again intercepted a message.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second, on December 26, 2001, a leading Pakistani newspaper published a story reporting that bin Laden had died in mid-December, adding:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;“A prominent official in the Afghan Taleban movement . . . stated . . . that he had himself attended the funeral of bin Laden and saw his face prior to burial.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;Third, bin Laden had kidney disease. He had been treated for it in the American Hospital in Dubai in July 2001, at which time he reportedly ordered two dialysis machines to take home. If you have ever wondered what bin Laden was doing the night before the 9/11 attacks, CBS News reported that he was being given kidney dialysis treatment in a hospital in Pakistan. And in January of 2001, Dr. Sanjay Gupta said – based on a video of bin Laden that had been made in either late November or early December of 2001 – that he appeared to be in the last stages of kidney failure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourth, In July of 2002, CNN reported that bin Laden’s bodyguards had been captured in February of that year, adding: “Sources believe that if the bodyguards were captured away from bin Laden, it is likely the most-wanted man in the world is dead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe align="right" allowfullscreen="" border="0" frameborder="0" height="349" hspace="10" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fI5b3Ir012k" width="425"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fifth, the United States has since 2001 offered a $25 million reward for any information leading to the capture or killing of bin Laden. But this reward offer has produced no such information, even though Pakistan has many desperately poor people, only about half of whom have been supportive of bin Laden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Testimonial Evidence that Bin Laden Is Dead&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to this objective evidence, we had considerable testimony in 2002, from people in position to know, that bin Laden was dead, or probably so. These people included:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;• President Musharraf of Pakistan;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Dale Watson, the head of the FBI’s counterterrorism unit;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Oliver North, who said: “I'm certain that Osama is dead. . . And so are all the other guys I stay in touch with”;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Sources within Israeli intelligence, who said that any new messages from bin Laden were “probably fabrications”;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• Sources within Pakistani intelligence, who “confirmed the death of . . . Osama Bin Laden” and “attributed the reasons behind Washington's hiding news on the death of Osama Bin Laden to the desire of the hawks of the American administration to use the issue of al-Qaida and international terrorism to invade Iraq.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;For this reason, perhaps, the stories about the demise of bin Laden largely came to an end in the latter part of 2002, when the United States was gearing up for its attack on Iraq. From then until now, there have been few such stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, however, two former intelligence officers have spoken out. In October 2008, former CIA case officer Robert Baer suggested in passing during an interview on National Public Radio that bin Laden was no longer among the living. When Baer was asked about this, he said: “Of course he’s dead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March of 2009, former Foreign Service officer Angelo Codevilla published an essay in the American Spectator entitled “&lt;a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2009/03/13/osama-bin-elvis" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Osama bin Elvis&lt;/a&gt;.” Explaining his title, Codevilla wrote: “Seven years after Osama bin Laden's last verifiable appearance among the living, there is more evidence for Elvis's presence among us than for his.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an excellent article, with only one serious flaw. In 2007, Benazir Bhutto, being interviewed by David Frost, referred to Omar Sheikh as “the man who murdered Osama bin Laden.” Codevilla cited this statement as further evidence that bin Laden is dead. But Bhutto had simply misspoken: She had meant to say “the man who murdered Daniel Pearl,” which is the standard way of referring to Omar Sheikh. That she misspoke was shown the next day, when she told CNN: “I don’t think General Musharaf personally knows where Osama bin Laden is.” Ten days later, speaking to NPR, she reported having asked a policeman assigned to guard her house: “Shouldn’t you be looking for Osama bin Laden?” This flaw aside, Codevilla’s article provides good support for his claim that the widespread belief in bin Laden’s continued existence is not backed up by evidence.&lt;/blockquote&gt;The evidence Osama has been dead for years is overwhelming, people have been predicting for years&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://revoltoftheplebs.wordpress.com/2010/12/24/osama-bin-deadawhile/" style="color: black; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;his dead body was going to be trotted out as part of some PR stunt&lt;/a&gt;. Absent the presentation of some overwhelmingly compelling evidence to the contrary, it looks like that's what we're witnessing right now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2556713347489405343-5455534792144793500?l=ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/feeds/5455534792144793500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/osama-bin-laden-has-been-dead-for-years.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/5455534792144793500?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/5455534792144793500?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/osama-bin-laden-has-been-dead-for-years.html' title='Osama Bin Laden Has Been Dead For Years ...'/><author><name>Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01036201147908511253</uri><email>salamsaha@gmail.com</email></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/fI5b3Ir012k/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;DU8CR387cSp7ImA9WhdUFEU.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556713347489405343.post-1740576224229513426</id><published>2011-10-01T09:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T09:51:06.109-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-10-01T09:51:06.109-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy'/><title>8 Types Of Bad Creative Critics ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mike Mullen calling Haqqani Network ISI’s ‘veritable arm’ has further aggravated tensions between the derogatory US Pakistan‘s partnership.&amp;nbsp; The hoop could make the stake holders turn twists and turns that can only be either hoped, feared, expected or experienced.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"&gt;PM Gilani says, “Our national interest must be respected and honored. And Pakistan cannot be pressured to do more.” He clearly meant that Pakistan’s Military would not take any military action against the Haqqani network.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"&gt;While ISI chief Gen. Pasha claims that ‘We have never paid a penny or provided even a single bullet to Haqqani network’.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"&gt;On the contrary former Jamaat-e-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed has stated that it is ‘Pakistan’s right to&amp;nbsp;remain in contact with&amp;nbsp;the Haqqani network for negotiations’. The Jamaat –e-Islami formed in 1941 as an Islamic organization that practically drove ‘religious ideology’ of the country under the leadership of Maulana Mawdudi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"&gt;However, all of the statements issued by the ideologues are contradicting enough to make up a deteriorated reality. What really would happen is a question that will not be answered anytime soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"&gt;US state department is rather on a confusing stance, as DAWN.com stated the rhetoric about playing the ‘good cop/bad cop game with Pakistan. Mullen and Leon Panetta, US Defense Secretary playing the good cop while Hilary Clinton, Cameron Munter and the Obama administration plays the good cop role. Washington policy’s expecting this role playing might end up making Pakistan attack the Haqqani Network’s sanctuary in Federally Administered Area on Afghani borders. While it is much analyzed that Pakistan won’t really do much about it since the historical linkage and a safe, controlled playground that keeps India off in Afghanistan is at stake if it breaks off its cords with the network.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"&gt;It really is a mess at the moment since it called for an All-party meeting on Thursday in Pakistan where all parties (Yes, Military and ISI too) took its stance on the bold statement made by Mullen.&amp;nbsp; This event could either make US Pakistan relationship in shambles, a military action by US, (since Congress is pledging on expanding the military operation in Pakistan), and economic sanctions imposed on Pakistan or it might just make Pakistan cut off its allegiance to the Pentagon and White House (which the US doesn’t really want since Afghanistan’s war is still at pace).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"&gt;It might just work out if both the states realize their critical status and their public demands, because really, the Wall Street protests and upcoming Pakistani rebels might just make things a little uptight for the both countries. It’s high time to pull a few things back and correct the reparations made.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2556713347489405343-7718431445899987748?l=ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/feeds/7718431445899987748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/pakistan-us-relations-haqqani-message.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/7718431445899987748?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/7718431445899987748?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/pakistan-us-relations-haqqani-message.html' title='Pakistan &amp; US Relations: The Haqqani Message ...'/><author><name>Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01036201147908511253</uri><email>salamsaha@gmail.com</email></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;DUAGRHs6fyp7ImA9WhdUFEU.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556713347489405343.post-8787552779753981676</id><published>2011-10-01T09:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T09:48:45.517-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-10-01T09:48:45.517-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy'/><title>P&amp;G’s International IDS Challenge 2012 ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The top 1% owns 50% of the nation’s wealth -and more importantly, how that wealth is used undermines the founding principles of America’s democracy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Through the use of direct democracy, Occupy Boston is working to define and solve the problems of: an opaque and exclusive government, a Wall Street without conscience, and a state struggling to guarantee basic human rights.&amp;nbsp; Everyone is invited to join this conversation about reforming how business and government operate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the coming days and weeks, Occupy Boston will persist in advocating the need for change, defining the change we need, and reaching out to policy-makers, business leaders, and the citizens of our Republic in this mission.”Our country is owned by the top 1%.&amp;nbsp; We are the 99%.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yoNMQp7wJX8?rel=0" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2556713347489405343-6620071758663889555?l=ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/feeds/6620071758663889555/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/occupy-boston-twenty-protesters.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/6620071758663889555?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/6620071758663889555?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/occupy-boston-twenty-protesters.html' title='Occupy Boston - Twenty Protesters Arrested For Blockading Entrance To Bank Of America Headquarters'/><author><name>Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01036201147908511253</uri><email>salamsaha@gmail.com</email></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/yoNMQp7wJX8/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;DE8GRHg5fSp7ImA9WhdUFEU.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556713347489405343.post-8450848111940434264</id><published>2011-10-01T09:33:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T09:33:45.625-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-10-01T09:33:45.625-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy'/><title>Cop Calls 911 After Eating Too Many Pot Brownies: "I Think I'm Dying" (Audio) ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="380" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hrZLc9lqQM0?rel=0" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 22px; padding-right: 22px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: justify;"&gt;It is a well-known and uncontested fact that the CIA has enjoyed a long and intimate relationship with some of the largest news organizations in the world, and has used this relationship to manipulate, censor, and even fabricate news stories in support of its own covert agenda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 22px; padding-right: 22px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Over the years, numerous specific examples of the agency’s manipulation of the news media have surfaced, including multiple instances where stories that had been outright fabricated by CIA assets had resulted in the justification for military intervention. And, recently we witnessed how the CIA steps in to stop the publication of certain stories when the agency&lt;a href="http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2011/09/21/bfp-breaking-news-confirmed-identity-of-the-cia-official-behind-911-rendition-torture-cases-is-revealed/" style="color: #7a7a7a; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;threatened&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;independent documentary filmmakers John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski from publishing the names of two recently identified CIA agents, Alfreda Frances Bikowsky and Michael Anne Casey.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 22px; padding-right: 22px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: justify;"&gt;It is no longer disputed that the CIA has maintained an extensive and ongoing relationship with news organizations and journalists, and multiple, specific acts of media manipulation have now been documented. But as long as the public continues to ignore the influence of intelligence agencies in shaping or even fabricating news stories, the agency will continue to be able to set the policy that drives the American war machine at will.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 22px; padding-right: 22px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;This is our EyeOpener Report by James Corbett presenting documented facts and examples of the CIA’s extensive and ongoing relationship with news organizations and journalists: ‘CIA in the News Media’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 22px; padding-right: 22px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;div id="jwplayer-1-div"&gt;&lt;div id="jwplayer-1_wrapper" style="height: 315px; position: relative; width: 560px;"&gt;&lt;object bgcolor="#000000" data="http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/wp-content/uploads/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/player/player.swf" height="100%" id="jwplayer-1" name="jwplayer-1" tabindex="0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 22px; padding-right: 22px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2556713347489405343-5284037081676113180?l=ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/feeds/5284037081676113180/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/cia-news-brief-history-of-media.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/5284037081676113180?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/5284037081676113180?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/cia-news-brief-history-of-media.html' title='CIA News: A Brief History of Media Manipulation by U.S. Intelligence ...'/><author><name>Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01036201147908511253</uri><email>salamsaha@gmail.com</email></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;DEAGQHc-eSp7ImA9WhdUFEU.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556713347489405343.post-6311325984710632991</id><published>2011-10-01T09:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T09:32:01.951-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-10-01T09:32:01.951-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy'/><title>Will Bloomberg End Protesters’ Stay on Wall Street?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They passed NAFTA (North American Free Trade Act) to de-industrialize America. By sending 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas, they intentionally created supply lines 8,000 miles long to China on a dodgy credit card so the US military would lose World War III thus reducing everyone on the planet to slavery. These were the first two phases in the modern era of their plan to subjugate everyone in the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The third phase in their operation is to engineer a clash of civilizations so the Muslims and the Christians destroy each other.

What an incredible series of coincidences!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If I were back in math class, I would multiply some of these numbers together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;He chose the day which has a probability of 1/364 as London transport is closed on Christmas. He chose the hours. The Tube runs 19 hours a day but service is poor in the wee hours and civil servants do not like to work late hours on terror drills so let’s give this 1/10 odds for picking the right hour.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Now let’s consider the odds on picking the exact same 3 Tube stations. I would calculate the odds of picking the first station at 1/270, the second at 1/269 and the third at 1/268. Now there was no video camera footage at the 4 bomb sites because the cameras failed. We are told that if a CCTV camera fails the bus is taken out of service by the Israeli security firm so let’s arbitrarily say the odds of 4 (actually many more if you count the other video points on their routes) is 1/1,000 for each failure or one in a trillion total.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Now let’s multiply this out. 1/364 for the exact day times 1/10 for the exact hour times 1/270 X 1/269 X 1/268 for the exact locations times the camera failures which were 1/1,000,000,000,000. I leave it to the reader to calculate the following number: 1/364 X 1/10 X 1/270 X 1/269 X 1/268 X 1/1,000,000,000,000. If you like, you can lower that to one in a billion or even one in a million remembering that failed video units were removed from service and there were far more than 4 cameras involved. But the resulting number is quite astoundingly large.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;In a court of law the above number you calculated, would be beyond the reasonable doubt sufficient to convict a man of murder or in this case a group of men for mass murder.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The most important fact of the day was that the 7:40 AM train to Kings Cross was cancelled so the 3 men did not arrive in time to catch the trains they were supposed to blow up with back pack explosives. The fourth young man did arrive in time to catch a bus. The failure of the 3 men to board the trains in question does explain why witnesses saw no Muslims on the trains. It also explains how the photo of the subway cars reveal that the bombs were placed underneath the trains inside rail yards secured by that Israeli firm and not carried on board by wandering Muslims.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;I would explain the video taped confessions as being made as part of an anti-terrorism exercise. Please note that one of the four men had helped the police anti-gang efforts in his community. You might remember the early reports of 3 men being shot dead near London’s upscale Canary Wharf. As I have said in the past, the people who think they own your government are bankers. They look at people as assets and liabilities. And they do not like do not leave living liabilities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The final report from the British Home Office lies and says the 4 men caught the 7:40 Am train.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;If unlike the Home Office, you are concerned with truth, then read this witness testimony:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;http://www.rense.com/general67/camb.htm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;I have posted below the best 7-7-2005 video available.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;7/7 Ripple Effect !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;I want to take an approach that emphasizes the role of Oxygen in fires and explosions as it relates to 911.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;I previously said the Israel Banking Network had assassinated President Kennedy. They passed NAFTA (North American Free Trade Act) to de-industrialize America. By sending 50,000 manufacturing plants overseas, they intentionally created supply lines 8,000 miles long to China on a dodgy credit card so the US military would lose World War III thus reducing everyone on the planet to slavery. These were the first two phases in the modern era of their plan to subjugate everyone in the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The third phase in their operation is to engineer a clash of civilizations so the Muslims and the Christians destroy each other. Integral to the creation of the hoax known as the Global War on Terror were 911 which Israel executed along with the 7-7-2005 London subway bombings and the Bali and Madrid bombings as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Today I would like to briefly explore 911 which Israel has exploited in many ways. Most of the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) grants have gone to Jewish groups.

Glass melts at 800 degrees Fahrenheit (426.67 Celsius.) Steel girders can withstand heat of up to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit (1,204.44 Celsius.) Now look at those collapse videos of World Trade Center Towers 1, 2 and 7 again but for the first time with this knowledge. Don’t you now see that it would be impossible for a raging fire to melt the steel girders but not melt the glass windows?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;There is another point I would like to make before asking you to look at the collapse of the WTC Towers for the first time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Sir Henry Bessemer invented the process named for him that made modern steel possible. Prior to that the world had wrought iron which produced many bridge disasters. Before his time the village blacksmith worked with open air fires. Bessemer invented the modern blast furnace which made flames larger and hotter by introducing oxygen. He eventually opened his own steel works in Sheffield and made that northern English town synonymous with high quality steel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;An office fire cannot melt steel girders anymore than a village blacksmith could make a modern steel bridge.

If only a few columns had collapsed, then the WTC Towers would have fallen over at an angle. The simultaneity of the steel girder collapse and the zero fire damage to windows which melt at a 60% lower temperature than steel, proves a controlled demolition.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;object height="480" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="640"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GEPjOi2dQSM?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="480" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Welders first began using thermite in 1899 in Germany to add oxygen to the welding process. Thermite is a metal oxide and adds oxygen just like the blast furnace.

As the term nano implies, it is very finely milled to nanometer size. This gives it a huge surface area relative to its volume. It enable nanothermite to burn very quickly and intensely. At a temperature of 5,200 degrees Fahrenheit (2871.11 Celsius), it burns through steel girders in 2 seconds. There is no other explanation for the collapse video you just saw. Unexploded nanothermite chips were found in the WTC dust debris.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;There are a few other points I need to make. There are 282 steel girder columns each in the North and South Towers. The towers were 110 stories tall. That means that there were 2 (buildings) X 110 (number of floors in each Tower) X 283 (steel girder columns) in each or 2 X 110 X 283 or 62,260 connections between the floors and the girders.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;How do apologists account for the severance by fire of 62,260 connections in less than 2 seconds with no fire damage to the glass windows?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;440,000 cubic yards (336,404.14 cubic meters) of reinforced concrete at Towers 1 and 2 were turned into dust in 2 seconds. That took an explosive power far beyond the abilities of nanothermite. I believe an experimental Above Top Secret explosive was used to turn all that concrete into dust. It also did the following which no fire even one ignited with nanothermite could ever do.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The North and South Towers both weighed 500,000 tons (453,592,400 kilograms.

&lt;h2 id="title" style="color: #880088; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;"&gt;The corporate media have been given their orders to throw the focus back on to Iran.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here is a recap of what they are trying to make you forget.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1. Last Spring,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/may/06/israel-us-nuclear-non-proliferation" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Israel refused.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1115650.html" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;Israel refused.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3778884,00.html" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;The IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Israel refused.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://news.antiwar.com/2009/09/25/as-required-iran-informs-iaea-about-new-enrichment-site/" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Iran's formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty&lt;/a&gt;which Iran has signed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090926/wl_afp/irannuclearpolitics" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Iran allows IAEA inspections&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;of all its facilities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement of a planned underground (to avoid being bombed) enrichment facility. The reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that Iran is a nuclear threat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;7. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://news.antiwar.com/2009/02/22/iaea-iran-not-capable-of-making-nuclear-weapons/" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;IAEA&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/215529" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;all 16 United States Intelligence Agencies&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;are unanimous in agreement that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.vanunu.com/uscampaign/photos.html" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;provided photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.antiwar.com/wanniski/?articleid=2721" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;international experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;11.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/may/23/israel-south-africa-nuclear-weapons" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Recently revealed documents prove not only that Israel has nuclear weapos, but actually tried to sell some to Apartheid South Africa.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Who else Israel approached to sell nuclear weapons remains an unasked question.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;12. In 1965,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://original.antiwar.com/smith-grant/2010/05/09/declassified-gao-report/" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Israel stole over 200-600 pounds of weapons-grade uranium from the United States.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;13. Declassified documents from the former South African regime prove not only that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/may/23/israel-south-africa-nuclear-weapons" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Israel has had nuclear weapons for decades, but has tried to sell them to other countries!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Israel wants to send your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2556713347489405343-3969435698989353920?l=ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/feeds/3969435698989353920/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/iran-vs-israel-what-media-wants-you-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/3969435698989353920?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2556713347489405343/posts/default/3969435698989353920?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ahmedsajjadhashemy.blogspot.com/2011/10/iran-vs-israel-what-media-wants-you-to.html' title='Iran vs Israel: What The Media Wants You To Forget ...'/><author><name>Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01036201147908511253</uri><email>salamsaha@gmail.com</email></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;CUACQHY7cSp7ImA9WhdUFEs.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556713347489405343.post-1329661838838251598</id><published>2011-10-01T03:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T03:09:21.809-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-10-01T03:09:21.809-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy'/><title>The Lie of the Century ...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The United States saw war with Japan as the means to get into war with Germany, which Americans opposed. So Roosevelt needed Japan to appear to strike first.

It is not "conspiracy theory" to suggest that leaders of nations lie to trick their people into wars. It is undeniable fact.&lt;br /&gt;
This brings us to the present case.&lt;br /&gt;
Did the government of the United States lie to the American people, more to the point, did President Bush and his Neocon associates lie to Congress, to initiate a war of conquest in Iraq?&lt;br /&gt;
This question has been given currency by a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/dsmemo.pdf" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;memo leaked from inside the British Government&lt;/a&gt;which clearly indicates a decision to go to war followed by the "fixing" of information around that policy. This is, as they say, a smoking gun.&lt;br /&gt;
But the fact is that long before this memo surfaced, it had become obvious that the US Government, aided by that of Great Britain, was lying to create the public support for a war in Iraq.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="7" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; width: 630px;"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;First off is Tony Blair's "&lt;a href="http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/blair.doc" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Dodgy Dossier&lt;/a&gt;", a document released by the Prime Minister that made many of the claims used to support the push for war. The dossier soon collapsed when it was revealed that much of it had been plagiarized from a student thesis paper that was 12 years old!The contents of the dossier, however much they seemed to create a good case for invasion, were obsolete and outdated.&lt;br /&gt;
This use of material that could not possibly be relevant at the time is clear proof of a deliberate attempt to deceive.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="190" src="http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/dodgydoss.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" width="132" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Proffered in the absence of any real laboratories in the wake of the invasion, photos of these trailers were shown on all the US Mainstream Media, with the claim they while seeming to lack anything suggesting biological processing, these were part of a much larger assembly of multiple trailers that churned out biological weapons of mass destruction.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="7" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; width: 630px;"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;The chief proponent of this hoax was Colin Powell, who presented illustrations such as this one to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/02/20030205-1.html#44" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;United Nations on February 5th, 2003&lt;/a&gt;.This claim fell apart when it was revealed that these trailers were nothing more than hydrogen gas generators used to inflate weather balloons. This fact was already known to both the US and UK, as a British company manufactured the units and sold them to Iraq.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/21-350h.jpg" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height="140" src="http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/21-350h.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial;" width="184" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;Colin Powell's speech to the UN was itself one misstatement after another. Powell claimed that Iraq had purchased special aluminum tubes whose only possible use was in uranium enrichment centrifuges. Both CIA and Powell's own State Department confirmed that the tubes were parts for missiles Saddam was legally allowed to have. Following the invasion, no centrifuges, aluminum or otherwise were found.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="7" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; width: 630px;"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;"&gt;

But when United Nations inspectors visited the site after the invasion, they located the vehicles and discovered they were just firefighting equipment.Powell claimed the Iraqis had illegal rockets and launchers hidden in the palm trees of Western Iraq. None were ever found.&lt;br /&gt;
Powell claimed that the Iraqis had 8,500 liters (2245 gallons) of Anthrax. None was ever found.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="7" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; width: 630px;"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;Powell claimed that Iraq had four tons of VX nerve gas. The UN had already confirmed that it was destroyed. The only VX ever found were samples the US had left as "standards" for testing. When the UN suspected that the US samples had been used to contaminate Iraqi warheads, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/404896.stm" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;US moved quickly to destroy the samples before comparison tests could be carried out&lt;/a&gt;.Powell claimed that Iraq was building long-range remote drones specifically designed to carry biological weapons. The only drones found were short-range reconnaissance drones.&lt;br /&gt;
Powell claimed that Iraq had an aggregate of between 100 and 500 tons of chemical and biological warfare agents. Powell gave no basis for that claim at all, and a DIA report issued the same time directly contradicted the claim. No biological or chemical weapons were found in Iraq following the invasion.&lt;br /&gt;
Powell claimed that "unnamed sources" confirmed that Saddam had authorized his field commanders to use biological weapons. No such weapons were ever used by the Iraqis to defend against the invasion and, of course, none were ever found in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;
Powell claimed that 122mm warheads found by the UN inspectors were chemical weapons. The warheads were empty, and showed no signs of ever having contained chemical weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
Powell claimed that Iraq had a secret force of illegal long-range Scud missiles. None were ever found.&lt;br /&gt;
Powell claimed to have an audio tape proving that Saddam was supporting Osama Bin Laden. But&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.thememoryhole.org/war/yt-misleading.htm" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;independent translation of the tape revealed Osama's wish for Saddam's death&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="7" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; width: 630px;"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;Colin Powell's UN debacle also included spy photos taken from high flying aircraft and spacecraft. On the photos were circles and arrows and labels pointing to various fuzzy white blobs and identifying them as laboratories and storage areas for Saddam's massive weapons of mass destruction program. Nothing in the photos actually suggested what the blobby shapes were and during inspections which followed the invasion, all of them turned out to be rather benign.In at least one case, the satellite Powell claimed had taken one of the pictures had actually&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.thinkandask.com/news/colinpowell.html" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;been out of operation at the time&lt;/a&gt;. And many questioned why Powell was showing black and white photos when the satellites in use at the time over Iraq&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.spacetoday.org/Satellites/YugoWarSats.html" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;took color images&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="180" src="http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/taji_sites_shrunk.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" width="216" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

According to Bush, these documents proved that Iraq was buying tons of uranium oxide, called "Yellow Cake" from Niger.Since Israel had bombed Iraq's nuclear power plant years before, it was claimed that the only reason Saddam would have for buying uranium oxide was to build bombs.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="7" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; width: 630px;"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="551" src="http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/originalfortress-hoopa.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" width="490" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Osama bin Laden's "Mountain Fortress", shown to the US public by the corporate media, and like Saddam's nuclear weapons, never actually existed.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="7" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; width: 630px;"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px;"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0.3em; padding-right: 0.3em; padding-top: 0.3em;"&gt;This hoax fell apart fast when it was pointed out that Iraq has a great deal of uranium ore inside their own borders and no need to import any from Niger or anywhere else. The I.A.E.A. then blew the cover off the fraud by announcing that the documents Bush had used were not only&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/03/07/sprj.irq.un.transcript.elbaradei/" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;forgeries&lt;/a&gt;, but too obvious to believe that anyone in the Bush administration did not know they were forgeries! The forged documents were reported as being "discovered" in Italy by SISMI, the Italian Security Service. Shortly before the "discovery" the head of SISMI had been paid a visit by Michael Ledeen, Manucher Ghorbanifar, and two officials from OSP, one of whom was Larry Franklin, the Israeli spy operating inside the OSP.In July, 2005, the Italian Parliament concluded their own investigation and named four men as suspects in the creation of the forged documents. Michael Ledeen, Dewey Clarridge, Ahmed Chalabi and Francis Brookes. This report has been included in Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the outing of Valerie Plame, and Paul McNulty, the prosecutor of the AIPAC spy case.&lt;br /&gt;
A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/fordmemo.pdf" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;recently declassified memo proves that the State Department reported the fact that the NIger documents were forgeries to the CIA 11 days&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;President Bush made the claim about the Niger uranium based on those documents.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, the real proof that we were lied to about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction is that no weapons of mass destruction were ever found. That means that every single piece of paper that purported to prove that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction was by default a fraud, a hoax, and a lie. There could be no evidence that supported the claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction because Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. In a way, the existence of any faked documents about Iraq's WMDs is actually an admission of guilt. If one is taking the time to create fake documents, the implication is that the faker is already aware that there are no genuine documents.&lt;br /&gt;
What the US Government had, ALL that they had, were copied student papers, forged "Yellow Cake" documents, balloon inflators posing as bioweapons labs, and photos with misleading labels on them. And somewhere along the line, someone decided to put those misleading labels on those photos, to pretend that balloon inflators are portable bioweapons labs, and to pass off stolen student papers as contemporary analysis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;And THAT shows an intention to deceive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Lawyers call this "Mens Rea", which means "Guilty Mind". TV lawyer shows call it "Malice aforethought". This means that not only did the Bush Administration lie to the people and to the US Congress, but knew they were doing something illegal at the time that they did it.&lt;br /&gt;
All the talk about "Intelligence failure" is just another lie. There was no failure. Indeed the&lt;a href="http://perspectives.com/forums/forum71/44107.html" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Army agents who erroneously claimed that missile tubes were parts for a uranium centrifuge received bonuses&lt;/a&gt;, while the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2980332.stm" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Pentagon smeared Hans Blix&lt;/a&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.btcnews.com/btcnews/index.php?p=966" style="color: #216eb2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;John Bolton orchestrated the firing of Jose Bustani, the director of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, because Bustani was trying to send chemical weapons inspectors to Baghdad&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
The President of the United States and his Neocon associates lied to the people of the United States to send them off on a war of conquest.&lt;br /&gt;
Defenders of the government will point to the cases listed at the top of the page as proof that lying to the people is a normal part of the leader's job and we should all get used to it. And because "Everybody does it" that we should not single out the present administration. But this is madness. We do not catch all the murderers, yet when we catch a murderer, we deal with them as harshly as possible, in order to deter more murderers.&lt;br /&gt;
Right now, we have the criminals at hand. and, while other leaders in history have lied to start wars, for the first time in history, the lie stands exposed while the war started with the lies still rages on, to the death and detriment of our young men and women in uniform. We cannot in good moral conscience ignore this lie, this crime, lest we encourage future leaders to continue to lie to us to send our kids off to pointless wars. Lying to start a war is more than an impeachable offence; it the highest possible crime a government can commit against their own people. Lying to start a war is not only misappropriation of the nation's military and the nation's money under false pretenses, but it is outright murder committed on a massive scale. Lying to start a war is a betrayal of the trust each and every person who serves in the military places in their civilian leadership. By lying to start a war, the Bush administration has told the military fatalities and their families that they have no right to know why they were sent to their deaths. It's none of their business.&lt;br /&gt;
Our nation is founded on the principle of rule with the consent of the governed. Because We The People do not consent to be lied to, a government that lies rules without the consent of the governed, and ruling without the consent of the governed is slavery.&lt;br /&gt;
You should be more than angry. You should be in a rage. You should be in a rage no less than that of the families of those young men and women who have been killed and maimed in this war started with a lie.You need to be in a rage and you need to act on that rage because even as I type these words, the same government that lied about Iraq's nuclear weapons is telling the exact same lies about Iran's nuclear capabilities. The writing is on the wall; having gotten away with lying to start the war in Iraq, the US Government will lie to start a war in Iran, and after that another, and after that another, and another and another and another because as long as you remain silent, and as long as you remain inactive, the liars have no reason to stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;As long as you remain inactive, the liars have no reason to stop.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;None.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It is time to fire the liars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is&lt;br /&gt;
for good men to do nothing"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

I offer this question as a starting point for the next 10 years: "Sure, but move on to what?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Based on the past 10 years, we can expect more wars that have little to do with Sept. 11, but will sacrifice the lives of far more Americans than the 3,000 who died that day, as well as the lives of many, many more foreign civilians. Our government will continue to justify and codify torture as an indispensable element of U.S. foreign policy and subvert the civil liberties upon which this nation was founded. And we'll face the harsh reality that such actions cause suffering and resentment that generate more terrorism.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Excuse me for jumping to the conclusion that we're moving in the wrong direction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Here's an alternative: Why not start with a real investigation of the events of Sept. 11? I mean a full-on, independent criminal investigation, with prosecutors, subpoenas and the whole nine yards, not the half-assed, politically constrained nonsense churned out by the 9/11 Commission. I think we owe the victims of this massive crime nothing less.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;A lot of the groundwork for such an investigation has already been laid by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, a group devoted to the scientific study of the physical evidence of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;I spoke with Peter Morse, a Tucson engineer with a lot of experience in the construction of large, steel-framed buildings and a former board member of AE 9/11 Truth. Like 1,600 other colleagues in the group, Peter hardly fits the profile of "conspiracy theorist" that is so commonly used to dismiss anyone who questions the official story of Sept. 11. The group is packed with luminaries and true experts, including National Medal of Science winners, a professor emeritus of physics at Brigham Young University, and the former director of Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;It's a highly qualified group, but most of them came to the issue through simple common sense. Like Peter, they watched video, read the official explanation of the towers' collapse, scratched their heads and asked, "How could that have happened?" The closer they looked, the clearer it became that the government's fanciful theories were unsupportable, and the more these professionals were drawn, however reluctantly, into the fight to establish the truth. "It goes against the psyche of engineers in general to invite conflict," as Peter put it. "But we took an oath to protect the public."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;If you want to talk conspiracy theories, the official explanation for the collapsing towers is a whopper. It posits that skyscrapers specifically designed to withstand the hottest fires and direct impacts from airplanes somehow succumbed to those stresses and collapsed at virtually free-fall speed, straight down into their own footprints. Never before had such a thing occurred—despite other skyscrapers hit by planes and beset by fires far hotter than those present at the World Trade Center—but on Sept. 11, it happened three times in eight hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;The alternative case carefully constructed by AE 9/11 Truth researchers is startling. A straight-down, nearly free-fall collapse means that the structures met virtually no resistance on the way down, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt;of the reinforced steel support columns must have failed completely and simultaneously. This simple physical law disproves the preposterous theories put forth by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the author of the official collapse story.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Subsequent testing of WTC dust samples established the presence of thermite, a high-powered incendiary that cuts through a steel beam like a lightning bolt through a stick of butter. This evidence is hard proof of the most-likely collapse scenario, one that was completely ignored by NIST, which did not even test for explosives, despite eyewitness testimony of more than 100 New York City firefighters who heard and saw explosions on Sept. 11.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;I remember network news anchor Peter Jennings, mesmerized by video of the collapse, observing, "Almost like a controlled demolition." Indeed,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;thousands&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;of buildings have collapsed straight down at virtually free-fall speed over the years, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;every one of them&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;resulted from controlled demolition.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;I'd say Mr. Jennings' journalistic instincts were correct. Kudos to Peter Morse and the rest of the patriotic citizens of AE 9/11 Truth for picking up where he left off. Check out their website for yourself at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ae911truth.org/" style="color: #335770;"&gt;www.ae911truth.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1.12em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1.12em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;When a formal criminal investigation determines who planted those explosives and why, then maybe our nation can start figuring out where it's headed in the next 10 years.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

"Our research shows there are more than seven people searching for every room that comes on the rental market," he says. "It's likely that Brits will rent for longer - a recent survey of 10,000 of our users supports that view. One in eight people living in shared accommodation is over 40, suggesting that older adults are being forced by financial circumstances to flatshare."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; float: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 2px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The actor, 48&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0066cc; text-align: justify; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a class="inform" href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/related-35384-david-forde.do" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: underline;" title="More on David Forde..."&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: #2a2a2a;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="inform" href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/related-35384-david-forde.do" style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: underline;" title="More on David Forde..."&gt;David Forde&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;made a life-changing decision eight years ago.

Douglas sent a letter to a group of young lawyers at the Washington State Bar Association. "As nightfall does not come all at once," he wrote, "neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."&lt;a href="http://www.truth-out.org/nation-suspects/1314810046#1" style="color: #996633; font-size: 1em; text-decoration: none;"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="sweet-justice" style="font-size: 1em; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.4em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If people generally appear unaware of "change in the air," a large part of the reason is the unparalleled resort to secrecy used by the government to keep its actions from public scrutiny. According to the new American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) report,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.aclu.org/national-security-technology-and-liberty/aclu-report-calls-radical-reforms-combat-government-secrecy" style="color: #996633; font-size: 1em; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;"Drastic Measures Required,"&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;under President Obama (who had vowed to create&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/TransparencyandOpenGovernment/" style="color: #996633; font-size: 1em; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;"an unprecedented level of openness in Government"&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;when he first took office), there were no fewer than 76,795,945 decisions made to classify information in 2010 - eight times the number made in 2001.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="sweet-justice" style="font-size: 1em; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.4em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In the recent debate over the re-authorization of three sections of the USA Patriot Act with sunset provisions,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://wyden.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/?id=34eddcdb-2541-42f5-8f1d-19234030d91e" style="color: #996633; font-size: 1em; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon)&lt;/a&gt;, who is a member of the Joint Intelligence Committee, declared in the Senate in May 2011 that there was a secret interpretation of Patriot Act powers that he could not even tell them about without disclosing classified information.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.truth-out.org/nation-suspects/1314810046#2" style="color: #996633; font-size: 1em; text-decoration: none;"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;"When the American people find out how their government has secretly interpreted the Patriot Act, they will be stunned and they will be angry," said Wyden. The determination of the Obama administration to imitate its predecessor and maintain a wall of secrecy around anything that could be connected (however tenuously) with "national security" is evident in the zeal with which it has pursued whistleblowers and its use of the state secrets privilege in judicial proceedings, including in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/08/state-secrets-fazaga-v-fbi" style="color: #996633; font-size: 1em; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;recent court challenge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to the FBI use of the informant Craig Monteilh to spy on mosques in Orange County, California.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="sweet-justice" style="font-size: 1em; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.4em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Anyone who has a bank account and makes a financial transaction, or uses a phone or a computer to send emails or browse web sites, or visits a library, books a rental car, or purchases a airline ticket is within the surveillance net. The profiles that have been compiled on individuals by commercial data brokers might well have found their way into government databases, errors and all.

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;One of the main objectives I believe World Zionism wanted to achieve from 9/11 was to convince the American people that the enemies of Israel, namely the Arabs &amp;amp; Islamic nations, are also the enemies of the United States and that Israel and the US have essentially the same interests. The purpose was of course to convince Americans to go to war against the Muslims who were to be blamed for the attack and scapegoated for this Jewish crime. This would benefit Israel a great deal, as well as the international Jewish bankers who thrive off of wars and conflicts. This is how the parasite moves the host in the direction it wants, a direction which provides the parasite with none of the work and none of the risk, but all of the benefit. You can see this Jewish agenda being played out clearly in the mainstream media broadcasts on the very day of 9/11 and in the weeks that followed. Here are a few revealing clips for your consideration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;The name of "Bin Laden" first rolled off the tongue of hideous Israeli defense minister&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Ehud Barak&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;on a BBC broadcast within half an hour of the attack. A false-flag always requires a fall guy of course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Njdh0N20AmI" title="YouTube video player" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;A&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rense.com/general80/key.htm" style="color: #213abb; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Zionist Jew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;by the name of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Jerome Hauer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;was one of the first to blame the attacks on "Al Qaeda" and even went so far as to attribute the astonishing free-fall collapses of the twin towers as the result of "the impact of the planes and the 'intense heat' from the ensuing fires", which later became the laughable and physically impossible official explanation. All this spoken within hours of the attack when nobody could have known any of this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7GDa-L4hHHo" title="YouTube video player" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Later in the day the President of Israel and venomous worm,&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Ariel Sharon&lt;/b&gt;, held a press conference in which he called for an "international war on terror". Ehud Barak and other Zionist rats also spoke this kind of language on media broadcasts, making their pre-planned Jewish war agenda quite obvious to say the least.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UJT5ON9jfXs" title="YouTube video player" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Yet more calls for a "war on terror" and "swift action on part of the USA" on the BBC. Several Jewish Neo-Con slimeballs&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Ehud Barak&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;Richard Perle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;led the warmongering, on behalf of Israel, along with a few of their Goyim pets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;The Jewish-controlled media was hitting us over the head with videos of Palestinians supposedly celebrating in the West Bank, meanwhile this same media completely neglected to mention the fact that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;five Israeli Mossad agents were witnessed videotaping, celebrating, high-fiving and laughing as the WTC was hit, from a rooftop in New Jersey.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jews Control American Mass Media &amp;amp; Hollywood&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Without the mass media as a willing co-conspirator, the Zionist Jew terrorists would never have been able to pull off a 9/11 style event without getting caught. The American (and global) media is not merely "incompetent", it is criminally biased in favor of the Jews and Israel because that's who owns it, obviously. The Jewish mass media was mobolized to immediately pin the crime on 19 incompetent Arab patsies, which they did well using all the tried and true techniques that you can find in the Jew&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays" style="color: #213abb; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Edward Bernays&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;' book, "Propaganda".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They did it. I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at it's headquarters, Marine Corps and&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;I made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation.
