here - http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO110A.html - Michel
Chossudovsky lays out an extensively footnoted short but clear, historic explication of just how
the of the Global War Of Terror was designed and launched. Copied below is about the 1st
25% - if in doubt, follow the footnotes.
“Now the Taliban will pay a price” vowed President George W. Bush, as
American and British fighter planes unleashed missile attacks against major
cities in Afghanistan. The US Administration claims that Osama bin Laden is
behind the tragic events of the 11th of September. A major war supposedly
“against international terrorism” has been launched, yet the evidence amply
confirms that agencies of the US government have since the Cold War harbored
the “Islamic Militant Network” as part of Washington’s foreign policy agenda. In
a bitter irony, the US Air Force is targeting the training camps established in the
1980s by the CIA.
The main justification for waging this war has been totally fabricated. The
American people have been deliberately and consciously misled by their
government into supporting a major military adventure which affects our
collective future.
“OSAMAGATE”
by Michel Chossudovsky
Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa
Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG), Montréal
Posted at globalresearch.ca 9 October 2001
Confronted with mounting evidence, the US Administration can no longer deny
its links to Osama. While the CIA admits that Osama bin Laden was an
“intelligence asset” during the Cold War, the relationship is said to “go way
back”. Most news reports consider that these Osama-CIA links belong to the
“bygone era” of the Soviet-Afghan war. They are invariably viewed as
“irrelevant” to an understanding of present events. Lost in the barrage of recent
history, the role of the CIA in supporting and developing international terrorist
organisations during the Cold war and its aftermath is casually ignored or
downplayed by the Western media.
Yes, We did support Him, but “He Went Against Us”
A blatant example of media distortion is the so-called “blowback” thesis:
“intelligence assets” are said to “have gone against their sponsors”; “what we’ve
created blows back in our face.“1 In a twisted logic, the US government and the
CIA are portrayed as the ill-fated victims:
The sophisticated methods taught to the Mujahideen, and the thousands of
tons of arms supplied to them by the US - and Britain - are now tormenting the
West in the phenomenon known as `blowback’, whereby a policy strategy
rebounds on its own devisers. 2
The US media, nonetheless, concedes that “the Taliban’s coming to power [in
1995] is partly the outcome of the U.S. support of the Mujahideen, the radical
Islamic group, in the 1980s in the war against the Soviet Union”.3 But it also
readily dismisses its own factual statements and concludes in chorus, that the
CIA had been tricked by a deceitful Osama. It’s like “a son going against his
father”.
The “blowback” thesis is a fabrication. The evidence amply confirms that the
CIA never severed its ties to the “Islamic Militant Network”. Since the end of the
Cold War, these covert intelligence links have not only been maintained, they
have in become increasingly sophisticated.
New undercover initiatives financed by the Golden Crescent drug trade were set

we’ve been around this block before, ITW… “even 100 want to attack us???”
no doubt by now… many hundreds of widowed, orphans, maimed and crippled
drone-attack survivors in Waziristan think of little else, but how on earth would
they do that?
the most obvious aspect of virtually every false flag provocation is simply this:
the patsy cannot do it; e.g.
Mid-August 2001: Hijacker Hanjour Still Not Skilled Enough to Fly Solo - 9/11
hijacker Hani Hanjour goes to the Freeway Airport in Bowie, Maryland, about 20
miles west of Washington. He wants to rent a single engine Cessna airplane.
However, when two instructors take him on three test runs, they find he has
trouble controlling and landing the plane. One instructor has to help him land.
Due to his poor skills, therefore, he is not allowed to rent one of their planes
without more lessons.
in this case the patsy even needed a CIA mole to approve his visa:
Future 9/11 hijacker Hani Hanjour applies for a US tourist/business visa at the
US consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Hanjour, who has already spent a good
deal of time in the US (see October 3, 1991-February 1992, Spring 1996,
October 1996-December 1997, and 1998), uses a passport issued on July 24,
2000.
His application is incomplete, as he says he is a student, but fails to give his
school’s name and address. After his application is screened, he is referred to a
consular officer for an interview. [9/11 COMMISSION, 8/21/2004, PP. 13, 174-
5 ]
This consular officer is Shayna Steinger, who issues a total of 12 visas to the
9/11 hijackers (see July 1, 2000). [9/11 COMMISSION, 12/30/2002, PP. 2;
OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL (US DEPARTMENT OF STATE), 1/30/2003]
Hanjour’s application is denied as he says he wants to stay in the US for three
years, raising concerns he might become an immigrant.
Hanjour also says he wants to attend flight school in the US, changing his
status to “student” from “tourist” after arrival. However, this is another reason
Steinger denies the visa application, “because he has been in the States long
enough to decide what he wanted.”
Hanjour will return to the consulate two weeks later and successfully obtain a
visa from Steinger using a different application (see September 25, 2000).
[9/11 COMMISSION, 8/21/2004, PP. 13, 174-5 ] Steinger will later give a series
of conflicting explanations about why she reversed her decision and issued the
visa (see August 1, 2002, January 20, 2003, and December 30, 2003).
After 9/11, a former consular official named Michael Springmann will say that

This psyop is as transparent as the “underwear bomber” - the “shipment” was

Seems the uberplaners have become too fearful of charges of crimes against
humanity to stage any more false flag provocations where westerners actually
die - non-westerners, no sweat, who’s counting? - since 9/11, 7/7 and Madrid
all false flags have been duds: Shoe Bomber, Liquid Bombs, Sears Tower,
Heathrow Car Bomb, Underwear Bomber, Times Square Car Bomb - all designed
to fail in the hands of typically inept paties - clearly it’s been determined that a

GORDON DUFF: BOMBS, TERRORISM AND MANURE
October 31, 2010 posted by Gordon Duff · 5 Comments
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
Last week, we were told courier services were carrying powerful and
undetectable bombs, sent from Yemen, mailed to “Chicago synagogues” to
strike out at America’s Jewish population just before the elections. This would
seem like a credible terrorist act if it were not for a few things:
Recent “debunked” terror threats, Adam “Perlman” Gadahn, the actor playing
“American Taliban” and the long dead Osama bin Laden had both issued terror
alerts that had, as usual, made no reference to Israel or Palestinians. This time,
the press noticed and Israel became suspect number one as to the real origin of
these threats.
Wikileaks has also been “outed” as a source unique in its protection of Israel
and its interests. Reports have been proven to be, not only altered or falsified,
but carefully filtered using PROMIS software, proving high level government
complicity in filtering and fabricating data. Today, Israel announced that
Wikileaks proves they were singled out by the UN for investigation for atrocities
in Gaza as proven by the Goldstone Report. They now ask for a similar
investigation of the United States, a nation they used to consider an ally, the
nation that underwrites their economy with massive economic aid.
Newspaper reports, so often horribly unreliable, have universally
misrepresented the nature of the explosive used, PETN, its detectability and
function. This is not a minor thing, not at all. Literally hundreds of reporters
were fed information easily disproven in Wikipedia.
We have seen it all before. Last Christmas, the “Crotch Bomber” was another
“PETN/Yemen” terror fiasco. Press stories blamed Al Qaeda and were ready to
build this into a new 9/11 except that reliable witnesses, Detroit area
attorneys, saw the terrorist, no passport, no visa, escorted onto the plane.
Before that, newspapers said the bomber had a diplomatic passport, a visa and
had “evaded” security.
“Security” put him on the plane, security employed by a company whose
management and employees are largely IDF and Mossad and whose owners are
Israeli.
Worse still, the “terrorists” father, described by the press as a “Muslim banker”
turned out to be a partner in an Israeli managed defense company and a close
friend of the CIA.
Now we have the arrest, today, of a young woman in Yemen, one with no ties to
Report thisextremist organizations or terrorism. When this story is “peeled away,” beneath

This is what I read.
Gadahn call to attack Americans comes from Israel
Gordon Duff – Veterans Today October 25, 2010
“Israeli terrorist “clones” are responsible for most hard line rhetoric, threats and,
if we investigated closely, have actually recruited terrorists and directly inspired,
if not planned and executed, attacks on Americans…Gadahn is part of it, so is
Wikileaks”
A call to arms, demanding Muslims in America and elsewhere begin a terror
campaign, was spread around the world. The message, we are told, was found
on a “secret website” by an Israeli company who put it in a press release.
There is no evidence any American Muslim has ever been on the website
referred to, no American intelligence agency could find it, not the CIA or the FBI
or Homeland Security. There was only one way the 300,000 Muslims of Detroit
could hear call to terrorism, from an Israeli company that passes on such
messages for profit.
Does it create them too? You be the judge.
Let’s look at a possible analogy. If you were to capture a vicious rabid dog in the
wilderness and turned it loose in a children’s playground, would you be a
terrorist?
This is essentially what is being admitted to.
What is in question, another analogy, is whether you purposefully infected the
dog with rabies in the first place. Either way, you are a terrorist.

Chicago and other cities poses the following dilemma.
There are only two ways they could know where to mail the stuff\
A. They must have access to the AT&T yellow pages and can read and write
English.
Or
B. All the info was provided by a Zionist Patsy named Adam Gadahn Calls For Terror
Attacks In Multiple Cities
The Intelhub October 24, 2010
Editors Note: Adam Gadahn, the grandson of former Anti-Defamation League
board member Carl K. Pearlman, is a complete patsy, trained by rogue
elements of the Mossad to help further the fraudulent war on terror. The ADL
was caught spying on the United States in 1993 and openly works for the
interests of Zionist Israel.
Sadly, most people refuse to do the little research that it takes to realize that
this is no conspiracy theory. Our government funded/created Al Qaeda. This is
open knowledge that cannot be debunked.
Associated Press
CAIRO — A U.S.-born spokesman for al-Qaida on Saturday urged Muslims
living in the United States and Europe to carry out attacks there, calling it a
duty and an obligation.
In a 48-minute video posted on militant websites, Adam Gadahn directed his
appeal to Muslim immigrants in what he called the “miserable suburbs” of
Paris, London and Detroit, as well as those traveling to the West to study or
work.
“It is the duty of everyone who is sincere in his desire to defend Islam and
Muslims today, to take the initiative to perform the individual obligation of
jihad … by striking the Zio-Crusader interests,” he said, referring to Western
and Jewish interests.
Gadahn, who has been hunted by the FBI since 2004, also sought to discredit
attempts by moderate Muslim leaders to suppress the “jihadi awakening.”
Whether its A or B whoever was responsible must not have known that any
“package” mailed from Yemen to a synagogue in Chicago, USA would not
arouse any suspicion.
Those Al Queda guys are real jokers hey?

Obama saved the Chicago Jews from a Yemeni bomb, they should show their
Report thisgratitude by voting for Giannoulias. He is a Democrat from Illinois who is running
for the former senate seat of Obama. The polls shoe that Giannoulias is down 6
points, but that can be overcome by grateful Jewish voters.

The Guardian was less kind to Obama, or at least, Wajid Shamsul Hasan:

What a sad media circus and what a sad media clown we have for President. It feels more like 2004 than 2010.

What a surprise… a “suspicious” “terrorist” “threat”
Report thisright before an election. Yeah, they’ve never tried to
pull that one before. Yet more proof that Obama =
Bush.

hello. how very Presidential he must feel, with
Report thiselections around the corner, and NoSuchAgency is
uncovering or funding or instigating or….let me be
clear about only wanting to be President, to play
golf and take tax payer vacations around the world-
there is no mission statement, there is no agenda. we
are just winging it. Air Force 1 baby. will he cancel
upcoming ‘escape the results’ dust-settling trips out
of the continent to Indonesia, if we are struck next
week? or zoom back? is an attack on us his last
strategic hope? or will he just lame away golfing as
a caricature failure?
