Zawahiri Video Compilation

2007-05-06T02:21:00.000-04:00

With the release of the Zawahiri video today I thought it was time to update the compilation of screen shots of his videos – (they are labeled by their date by year month day) some of the things of note 2005 4 25 was within days of the Saudi King dying (hence the outdoor environment) 2005 12 7 is the first without the brown background and with Al-Qaeda provided English subtitlesBeginning in

What People Are Watching

2007-04-30T17:55:00.000-04:00

Everyday there are several books worth of material written on the issue of what people around the world are thinking or what they are interested in. There are also countless polls offered every year designed to produce “scientific proof” of what the worlds views are. However, any of these efforts inevitably run the risk that in quantum physics is called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Top jihadi strategist brought Iraq’s insurgents into the al-Qaeda fold

2007-04-28T00:20:00.000-04:00

Excerpt - Pakistani intelligence sources said that Abd al-Iraqi had often visited the Bajaur tribal region, one of the main centres of al-Qaeda operations in Pakistan and Afghanistan. US officials said last night that they believed him to be the mastermind behind two attempts in 2002 to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan.[I thought they said those attacks were all the work of

Polls are useful tools for the purpose of creating opinion more than measuring it - although they do say a great deal about ourselves.

Halliburton's Move About Iran???

2007-03-12T21:42:00.000-04:00

There is going to be a great deal written and said about the movement of much of Halliburton senior executive structure to Dubai. These will range from the apologist claiming this is an indictment of the amount of regulations companies face in the United States to the escaping while the escaping is good theory. In truth, there is likely a number of reasons behind this, including the very real

Iranian Covert Actions In Iraq

The following is a collection from open sources of indicators of the strategy that Iran has been pursuing inside Iraq since before the American liberation. Although I have not had time to update in almost a year I believe that this history is invaluable for understanding events as they unfold today and in the coming months. I am going to try to update this in the coming weeks as the evidence has

Zawahiri in Black

2006-01-31T01:00:00.000-05:00

There are two things of particular interests to me in the video that was released today (January 30, 2006) by Al-Zawahiri. Number one is the fact that it took almost 17 days from when the CIA strike occurred and the release of this video. The reason that this is a possible issue is that the August 4, 2005 video, which was possibly released because

Beware of the first reports from Pakistan

2006-01-14T00:06:00.000-05:00

Beware of the first reports from Pakistan. This evening it is being reported everywhere that Al-Zawahiri was possibly or likely, depending on the exuberance of the source, killed by an attack launched from an America/CIA UAV. In all likelihood this attack was a hellfire missile launched from the Predator class

Hold off on the pats on the back in Iraq

2005-12-15T10:39:00.000-05:00

Below is an item that I wrote almost 6 months ago. Unfortunately, since I wrote this further evidence of the continued success of Iran’s political war strategy has mounted as the America foreign policy, political and media establishments have ignored or dismissed the indicators. Each doing this for their own reasons which unfortunately are going to cost the American people and our cause greatly.

Hezbollah boosting ties to Al-Qaeda

2005-12-08T00:39:00.000-05:00

Unfortunately this is not really a boosting of ties but the natural growth of the relationship between Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, and Iran which I have been following for several years. As well as Iran's reach into the Palestinian groups. Once again we see Imad Mughniyeh, the lead agent for Iran/Hezbollah in coordinating with Al-Qaeda, on the move - Hezbollah boosting ties to al-Qaida claim By

Churchill and the issue of the real #3 in Al-Qaeda

2005-12-05T13:59:00.000-05:00

There are two great paragraphs that are almost completely ignored from Churchill's Iron Curtain speech that I feel a special affinity to, and even more so on the issue of who is the real number 3 in Al-Qaeda which I fought back in May of 2005 and lost. This passage really came home after the 7/7 London bombings - "Last time I saw it all coming and I cried aloud to my own fellow countrymen

When There Is No Number 3, Than They Are All Number 3

2005-12-04T15:17:00.000-05:00

I recently had an epiphany as to why some if not many in the US intelligence community and most of the media can not get it through their thick heads even the basic structure of Al-Qaeda. After all within 24 hours not only was Hamza Rabia, whose claim to fame is being an associate of Zawahiri and the previously unknown who was elevated by the Pakistan in the person of Al-Libby, been elevated

Will the Real Number 5 in Al-Qaeda Please Stand Up

2005-12-03T10:03:00.000-05:00

Given the Pakistani governments tendency to overstate their contribution I thought it might be useful to clearly identify the likely number 5 man in Al-Qaeda. There are two possibilities: First, it could be Saif Al-Adel's assistant/deputy. Al-Adel who has been the sheik over the military committee on Al-Qaeda’s Shura Council i.e. a position comparable to the Secretary of Defense in the American

Here Pakistan Goes Again

2005-12-03T09:26:00.000-05:00

I doubt that this guy is really as senior much less in charge of Al-Qaeda's International operations especially since they claimed previously that this was the same position which Al-Libbi held as the supposed military commander of Al-Qaeda, which was actually held by Al-Adel. But I digress. He is likely the commander of operations in Pakistan but the real number 5 is likely in Iran

Zawahiri’s Video Marching Orders

2005-10-24T10:59:00.000-04:00

Many people likely missed the video that came out yesterday from Zawahiri. After all it was mostly just a rant about how Muslims need to aid quake victims through Islamic charities, which of course could mean send more money to the charities so we can do more bombings. However of the many things said about Zawahiri’s most have missed a pattern of these particular video (i.e. Zawahiri in front of
