In the week leading up to the midterms? And the person who gave the tip on the bomb parcels is described on the news as ‘ex-al Qaeda’? Come on. The fish stinks from the head down. Cunning Insidious Assholes otherwise known as the CIA. The really frightening thing here is the global reach of the intelligence services and the way they can get ANYTHING and ANYONE they want on to planes, even people on terror watch lists, compiled by them, of course. A genuine terrorist would have a hard time getting any form of explosive on to a plane in the blanket security that now exists but intelligence operatives don’t.
Remember Lockerbie? Remember the suitcase put on the plane? Remember the man they framed and later released for the crime? Remember how the inquiry was called off after he was released because the government and the intelligence services didn’t want that inquiry to be held? The man they framed, al Magrahi, had a naive faith in British justice and believed that the evidence against him was so weak he could never be found guilty. He didn’t know the fix was in and he would be found guilty no matter what the evidence said. The fact is, ITW, the CIA has form, years of it, and that can’t simply be ignored so that the USA can move troops into Yemen (another third world Muslim country - one that exports a couple of billion dollars of oil a year) and set up yet another military base for ‘forward operations’.

Hundreds of mini-covert fighting teams whose funding is unknown have replaced
Report thistraditional CIA functions in the war against dissidents. Their members are
recruited from an ancient Indian sect who kill for the love of Kali. They use only
knives as weapons and work best at night.

I can’t wait for the usual gang to shout:
“Another false flag op by the CIA and Mossad!”
C’mon..I KNOW you’re out there—or are you all too tied up trying to prove that Al Qaeda in Yemen is just there to feed starving orphans?

Tariq Ali recently gave a good lecture on how we’re in a situation similar to the late 19th century when anarchists and other revolutionaries carried out similar acts in the abscence of a more organized revolutionary movement.
This wasn’t a smart tactic, but the it’s not like the world would miss Sarko. Just being honest.
