London Bombing Aftermath: The Spin Continues

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet | July 27 2005

Since the Friday shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent man with no links to terrorism or suicide bombers, we have been subjected to further spin and misdirection in an attempt to stifle real questions about the 7/7 bombing.

The original bombing story has been permanently removed from the front pages of the nation's newspapers. Publications like the London Mirror were starting to ask serious questions about how the alleged bombers were set up by another group and were unaware of the fact that they would be killed in the blasts.

As this website has consistently claimed, the 7/7 alleged bombers were hired as the unwitting fall guys for an operation of which the planning and execution was organized at the very highest levels of the parallel British government.

The dupes were told they were part of a drill to test security provisions in dealing with suicide bombers. The men booked return tickets, pay and display tickets for their cars, expected to be paid handsomely and to have helped protect their country before returning to their homes in Leeds.

We received an interesting e mail from an individual who was listening to BBC Radio Five on the day of the bombings.

I thought I'd follow up on what you've obviously been getting from England regarding the recruitment of volunteers for terror drills. I heard the same thing with a notable differnce. I heard this on BBC Radio 5 Live on 7/7.

My honest recollection is that it was broadcast somewhere around lunchtime. They mentioned that Transport for London (the people running the underground) in conjunction with the Dept. of Transport would run drills where fake devices would be placed on the network and the staff reponse times measured in terms of locating them.

To the best of my re-collection they did not really elaborate any further on this, but the shock I felt was real when I started to think 9/11 and the CIA, NRO planes as weapons wargames and the USAF's hi-jack field training exercises.

Please note also that the Sky News Foreign News Editor Tim Marshall reported seeing British Army soldiers/bomb disposal people in the Charing Cross area at around 1100 - 1115 hours. When his interview (by mobile phone) was over the news anchor read a brief Army statement "...Civil Contingency Support Measures are now in place".

The anchorman then said "...Army on the streets of London trying to manage this major terrorist situation."

The time was 1118 hours when said this.

Other websites have also echoed claims that Muslims were being recruited for drills on the London Underground.

Of course the biggest smoking gun of them all is the fact that there was a drill at the exact same time targeting the exact same locations in the London Underground.

Channel 4 News attempted to dismiss our investigation into this by claiming that it was an inquest that was only relevent up until the identity of the 'bombers' was made public. This is plainly a ridiculous claim. Just because some grainy CCTV footage of four men is released does not make an event that has been calculated to be an astronomically impossible coincidence irrelevent. Furthermore, the fact that the four men pictured were on the scene at the time of the bombings does not mean that the exercise is unrelated. In fact, from the very start we have consistently emphasized the fact that the alleged bombers and the exercise are directly related.

Yet more evidence as to the bombers' unwitting role in the horrific reality of the attack has emerged.

Eyewitness Bruce Lait was yards away from the bomb that exploded at Aldgate East station. The following is what he told the Cambridge Evening News.

"The policeman said 'mind that hole, that's where the bomb was'. The metal was pushed upwards as if the bomb was underneath the train. They seem to think the bomb was left in a bag, but I don't remember anybody being where the bomb was, or any bag."

For individuals to plant bombs underneath trains and secure them in place without being caught, they would need to secure access to the trains. In this scenario, London Underground could have been told that a dummy device was to be placed underneath the train as part of an exercise to test security an alertness. When the real attacks happened some LU officials would have been alarmed but their suspicions would have dampened when it was revealed that the bombs were carried in backpacks, meaning that the drill was just a strange 'coincidence'.

The fact that the bombs were actually planted underneath the trains could have easily been buried in an avalanche of official announcements to the contrary.

On the other hand the backback bombs could have just been the diversionary blasts to enable patsies to be framed, just like the planes flying into the towers acted as the diversionary cover for the explosives planted inside the WorldTrade Center.

The 7/21 copycat bombings have succeeded in monopolizing media coverage and taking attention away from the highly suspicious 7/7 bombings. The fact that all four bombings were badly planned and failed suggests that there was no inside involvement.

Muted outrage continues to bubble under the surface regarding the shooting of de Menezes (pictured) on Friday.

After this website and others pointed out the contradiction of shooting a man who you think might have a bomb in the torso area, the official story changed and now they claim they shot him in the head eight times.

We received e mails accusing us of sloppy reporting for saying de Menezes was not shot in the head. Our original article was written on Friday night. At that point, every eyewtness the media quoted said that he was not shot in the head, we merely related these accounts.

It seems that the story was changed because people made the logical conclusion that the secret police knew all along he was not a suicide bomber, which is why they shot him in the torso. The story was then changed to try and justify the death of an innocent man who was probably ruthlessly gunned down because he had some knowledge of the 7/7 bombing and exercise cover story.

Rest assured, before the body is returned to Brazil the spooks will make sure the bullet holes fit the official explanation.

Watch this space for even more in-depth reports as we get up close and personal with this unfolding story.

Alex Jones Bullhorns Downing Street, British Parliament

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet | August 2 2005

In what was the climax of Alex Jones' lightning speed tour of London, a world famous public venue and a giant white megaphone were the only ingredients needed to provide Alex with what he described as one of the highlights of his life.

The day started with a plan to take in as many landmarks and places of significance as possible.

One of the first stops was Stockwell underground station, site of the brutal and unprovoked police murder of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes. On Thursday it emerged that de Menezes was not wearing a bulky coat and police had no reason to be suspicious about him. So why did special forces police shoot him in the head eight times? Did he know something about the drills that had taken place on 7/7 to act as a culpability cover for the real attacks?

As we were filming the floral tributes and placards at Stockwell (pictured), a police officer walked behind me and gave me a less than polite firm hand on the shoulder. "Can you come with me please," he barked.

He proceeded to take Alex's details and informed us that we should have asked for his permission before we filmed. We then asked for his permission and he said no. We were not even filming the police, we were filming the tribute display. So here we were in a city where four million cameras scrutinize our every movement (pictured) and yet we are accosted by the police when we try to film some flowers. Is that a free country?

This was just a taste of things to come as we headed towards central London.

The heavy but intermittent rain ensured our progress along Downing Street was slow as we ducked into building entrances to occasionally shield ourselves from the downpour.

Finally we reached the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Across the road at Parliament Square we saw the sidewalk festooned with anti-war banners and signs, including graphic images of Iraqi babies born inside-out due to the continuous bombardment of the country with depleted uranium.

There we met Brian Haw (pictured), a man who has been holding a protest vigil at that same spot for four years. Haw has won numerous court cases protecting his right to protest at Parliament Square, in the face of laws passed by Parliament solely directed at shutting him up.

However, the latest ruling states that Haw can only continue his protest if he has police permission to do so and ysterday a seperate law was passed that criminalizes protests within half a mile of Westminster, creating 'free speech zones' that resemble those in America where nobody is allowed within two miles of Bush. Again, the so-called freedom that we are beinjg told is under attack by Al-Qaeda is being raped and pillaged by the government itself.

People protesting these laws were arrested and dragged away from the scene yesterday by police (pictured).

You have complete freedom of speech as long as you follow our rules that restrict freedom of speech. This is Orwellian doublethink. It is alo illegal to criticize the monarchy at the famous speaker's corner in Hyde Park. Freedom is a myth.

During the interview with Haw we noticed a muffled voice that sounded like it was coming through a loudspeaker. At first we thought this was some kind of scaremongering security alert but upon walking up the path we noticed an Indian man speaking through a megaphone. The points he was making were valid but his soft voice didn't carry very well on the megaphone to the people in the streets.

When Alex saw the sheer size of this megaphone he started to salivate! This thing was so big you had to stablize it on the ground, it was too heavy to pick up.

The Indian man was happy to let Alex use the megaphone and the fun began.

Alex's booming mantra ripped out across Downing Street and Parliament as he tore into the New World Order and government sponsored terrorism.

Alex made all the crucial points, the government was behind the terror and was creating a militarized police state in front of our eyes.

Rows of people on Downing Street and cross towards Big Ben stopped still in their tracks to listen as the truth bellowed across the hum of vehicles in this city, the very heart of elitist evil.

It was only a few minutes before the thought police arrived on the scene. They attempted to stop the bullhorning by saying it was too loud but when challenged as to how loud it was supposed to be they didn't have a clue. This was an intimidation tactic, designed to frighten Alex into discontinuing and leaving the area. These two minions didn't know who they were dealing with. Alex was arrested by George Bush's security thugs and kidnapped for two hours, he wasn't about to be scared away by these two little Hitlers.

Alex was again made to give his details, not that they hadn't already been entered into the Interpol database earlier at Stockwell.

The police waited around for longer and longer and didn't seem to be able to answer with any logic when anyone asked what they were doing. Alex wasn't going to stop and the police scuttled away with their tails between their legs.

Alex was right back on the megaphone slamming the dictatorial slavemasters of Downing Street and their Royal rulers, all within earshot of Tony Blair, arch war criminal in chief.

Several police stood on the opposite side of the road monitoring the situation as surveillance helicopters roared overhead and did overpasses on several occasions.

Undetered, Alex rampaged through more evidence of government tyranny and hit every key subject bang on the head as more and more people froze in the streets to take in this brash and unapologetic wake up call.

After twenty minutes or so the battle had been won. We thanked the other protesters for their efforts and moved on to continue our mission.

Is it any surprise that the use of a megaphone on Parliament Square was banned by the British government two days after Alex's rant?

Laws that are in direct contradiction with freedom should be ignored. The US Constitution, which originated from the foundation of the Biritsh Magna Carta, states clearly that any unconstitutional laws are null and void.

What can they do when a thousand people show up at Parliament Square with megaphones? How about ten thousand? Knowing your freedoms and exercising them is half the battle and that battle was won on Saturday 30th of July 2005, when Alex Jones bullhorned Parliament and Downing Street.

CAFTA Passes: Dirty Tricks and Devastating Consequences

Scott Ritsema/Prison Planet | August 3 2005

This past week, CAFTA passed the House of Representatives by a 217-215 vote. This vote, especially on the Republican side of the isle, does not reflect the views of the American people or the U.S. Constitution. Even many Rush Limbaugh listeners have called in to voice their strong opposition to this so-called “free trade agreement.” In fact, one poll suggests that half of the country’s Republican voters opposed CAFTA! Why, then, did roughly 80% of Congressional Republicans favor it? But we all know that the Washington insiders are completely out of touch with the American people and the Constitution. So, let’s turn our attention to so-called “free trade agreements” and what they are all about, as well as how CAFTA was actually passed.

CAFTA and NAFTA are not simply agreements; rather, they set up authorities that trump federal, state, and local laws and constitutions. When our elected officials signed CAFTA into law, they signed over a piece of our sovereignty. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress and only Congress the power to regulate trade. NAFTA, on the other hand, sets up a tribunal to rule on all maters of trade. For example, one dispute between the state of Massachusetts and a Canadian real estate company was decided in the Massachusetts Supreme Court. The NAFTA tribunal, however, had different things in mind, and overruled the previous court decision. So, these are unconstitutional decision-making, power-wielding bodies that have no business in American affairs.

CAFTA and NAFTA will not/have not improved economic conditions in America; rather, they have (coupled with intrusive government) decimated the manufacturing base of many communities. Ask any American who lives in a community that has lost manufacturing jobs to Mexico, and you will likely get the same strong condemnation of NAFTA. NAFTA has clearly hurt the American economy. Our trade deficit is growing and our manufacturing base is disappearing. Not to mention the often-neglected fact that having foreign nations manufacturing all our goods is a national security risk. CAFTA will do the very same things to our economy that NAFTA has done.

CAFTA and NAFTA are not simply about economics; rather, they are about open borders and political union as part of the New World Order. As has been hidden in plain sight by the CFR, the economic union is only a stepping stone to the long-dreamed of political union. The stones are as follows: NAFTA then CAFTA then the FTAA then the Pan-American Union (and a regionalized world) then the UN or the New World Order (world government). The massive amounts of evidence supporting this assertion needs its own article. Suffice it to say that the CFR globalists have been open about their plans as well as their strategies, seeking to make an “end-run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece” (Richard Gardner, CFR; in his piece “The Hard Road to World Order” in a 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs, the CFR’s publication).

Finally, CAFTA was not passed fairly by the House; rather, immoral scheming got the CAFTA vote through. The Republicans, who are supposedly the “moral values” party, ought to be ashamed of themselves. The CAFTA vote was stolen, and is a total sham. As Kent Snyder of the Liberty Committee noted, CAFTA was defeated after its allotted 15-minute vote window. Unhappy with the results, the House broke the rules by keeping the vote alive for another hour. At the end of that vote, CAFTA had passed. Or did it? One of the two Congressmen who supposedly abstained from voting, North Carolina Republican, Charles Taylor, did vote “no” on CAFTA, but for some reason his vote didn’t show up on the register.

In sum, CAFTA and NAFTA are surrounded by lies, misunderstandings, and misinformation on all sides. The average American, though, senses the danger in these phony free trade agreements. And, the Constitution prohibits them. It’s time for a wake up call in Congress.

Media Darling Terror Expert Admits Government Sponsored Terror

Loftus Says Rogue Elements of intelligence Agencies Protecting Terrorists

Steve Watson/Infowars | August 5 2005

We have continually documented how those at the top of British and US intelligence services have again and again recruited, funded and employed useful terrorists. In 1993, the bomb used in the first WTC attack was cooked by the FBI and the driver was under their instruction. It was the same story in 1995 with the destruction of the Alfred P Murrah Building in Oklahoma, again the Feds were implicated, the stooges were under their control. And we know for a fact that Bin Laden was a protected CIA asset, he even had the codename Tim Osman.

We have previously revealed how former MI5 officer David Shayler has alleged, and French intel sources have corroborated, that the MI6 paid a Libyan al-Qa'ida cell £100,000 in 1995 to assassinate colonel Qaddafi. The use of the group that has come to be known as "Al Qaeda" as assets by Intelligence services the world over is well documented.

So It came as little surprise that the so called mastermind of the 7/7 London Bombings was in the employ of British Intelligence.

The July 29 edition of FOX News Channel's Day Side programme revealed that Haroon Rashid Aswat, had been working for MI6. Former Justice Dept. prosecutor and Terror expert John Loftus revealed that the Al-Muhajiroun group, based in London had formed during the Kosovo crisis, during which Fundamentalist Muslim Leaders were recruited by MI6 to fight in Kosovo.

Mr Loftus Appeared on The Alex Jones Show earlier this week and revealed even more detail concerning the case of Aswat and the "War on terror". Although it seemed that Loftus was reluctant to accept that time and time again the "failures" of the Intelligence agencies are more than just coincidence, he had no choice but to verify the stone cold facts that Alex presented him with during the 20 minute interview.

Loftus firstly pointed out that the Israeli services have long known that British Intelligence have allowed Muslim extremists to train and recruit in Britain with the promise of safe haven so long as British interests are kept off the hit list.

Loftus went on to spell out that British Intelligence and the US dept of Justice had protected Haroon Rashid Aswat before in 1999 when he traveled to America. The Justice Department failed to indict Aswat as he attempted to set up a terrorist training school in Oregon:

"His superiors, his subordinates were indicted, not him. The New York office claims The British told them he was dead, he wasn't dead he was hiding in South Africa." Loftus highlighted.

Aswat was then allowed back into Britain just weeks before the bombings even though he was on a watch list and was a known terrorist and a wanted man. Mr Loftus made this clear in explicit detail:

"The only explanation is that the Arab Newspapers were right and this guy was working for the British Secret service."

COINCIDENCE?

When questioned over the drills that were being operated on 7/7 at the exact same times and locations as the bombings, Loftus asserted that it "was a coincidence, a lot of those are run, there is no conspiracy there". Yet as we have reported, the chances of this happening are literally millions to one.

Furthermore Loftus suggested that Tony Blair and the British Government had no knowledge of Aswat and that opportunist bureaucrats in MI6 were to blame. Alex pointed out that even if this was the case there are compartmentalized crime groups within the intelligence services that are funding Al Qaeda leaders to attack Western citizens. This equates to Government Sponsored terror. Loftus could only agree:

"Boy you have put your finger right on it there. There are compartmentalized groups who engage in crimes. Are these authorized by the Government or is it wink and a nod stuff? We haven't got to the bottom of this yet and a lot of us are very very concerned."

Mr Loftus then reasserted what Alex has been addressing for a long time now, that the whole Al Qaeda Phenomenon began in the mid forties as the CIA was recruiting Nazi Arabs. In the mid eighties Loftus himself testified before Congress on the illegal use of Nazi war criminals by US intelligence.

"The Muslim Brotherhood was an Arab Nazi Movement. The CIA shredded all its files on the Muslim Brotherhood, but you can find out what's in them by doing a google search on two words - Banna and the second word is Nazi. Search those two words and you're gonna find about 20-30 very interesting articles on how this whole Al qaeda stuff began. It began in 1945 when the British recruited this Nazi Arab Movement, The Muslim Brotherhood, CIA took them over in the Early 50s, we hid them in Saudi Arabia."

Loftus pointed out that Saddam Hussian was a member of the Brotherhood by proxy through his family who were directly recruited by the CIA in the 50s. And all this at the same time as the Bush family were directly funding the Nazi Party in Europe, beyond the end of the War and into the 1950s.

IRAN OR SYRIA?

When Alex posed the question "What will happen in the next 6-18 months?" Loftus replied

"I think it's gonna be Syria, Syria is coming down. We've had it and the Iraqi Government has had it... A new Sovereign Government of Iraq will declare war on Syria and the UN will support it. Under the UN charter every nation has a right to self defence...The Iraqi people have been being prepared for this everyday"

The US will of course be involved as the ally of the new "Sovereign" Government of Iraq. Loftus suggested that US officials will sell this to the American people by telling them that Saddam's WMD are all buried in Syria!

OF Course the war will then expand as WMD are not found, we will have to go into Iran. This Will be very difficult to sell unless there is another major terrorist attack, as Alex pointed out to Mr Loftus.

GOVERNMENT TERROR

Alex then went on to ask Loftus if he had heard of Operation Northwoods, the official Government plan to carry out 9/11 style attacks on its own citizens and blame them on foreign enemies to provide a pretext for invasion. Loftus admitted he knew all about it and pointed out that it was an operational document and not a wargame.

Loftus also took on Alex's assertions concerning Operation Gladio and admitted that the facts were indisputable.

Loftus then went on to explain and corroborate that Kermit Roosevelt admitted on NPR radio that in 1953 the CIA and British intelligence carried out a wave of bombings and shootings in Iran. Roosevelt then went on to brag about how they subsequently blamed the bombings on Iran's President, Mossadegh. We have covered this extensively in the past yet the mainstream media won't touch the story. Loftus asserted that this is one reason why US ground forces cannot go into Iran again. He also stated

"There was a separate group called the OPC, the Office of Policy Co-ordination...they took CIA money but operated under State Department Control with Pentagon support, so no one really controlled them. These guys operated under total plausible deniability, they weren't ever to get caught, they weren't ever to link America to it. Of Course guys like Kermit Roosevelt thought it was too good to keep secret so they have been bragging about it over the years."

Mr Loftus is just another former Government official and terror expert in a long line who has corroborated our facts and highlights how our information is bang on the money. He concluded the interview by asserting that the very top ranks of the intelligence agencies are so corrupt that they are recruiting terrorists for their own agendas, to make money whilst forwarding an agenda of fear to restrict civil liberties and stop good people questioning the actions of the secret services.

This is a must listen interview and highlights once again the fact that we are winning this information war against Government sponsored terror and the new world order, we are at the front-line, we ARE the mainstream media, because we have to be, bringing the real facts out first and firing from all directions.

Alternative Media Amplifies as Mainstream Gatekeepers Decline

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | August 7 2005

The number of individuals worldwide who acknowledge that there is a hidden hand shaping world events is growing at a faster rate than ever before.

This is directly due to the burgeoning power of the alternative media and the declining influence of the establishment media. Mainstream media has been caught so many times colluding with government in order to sell major domestic and foreign policy initiatives on a foundation of lies. People are voting with their feet and turning away from the mainstream and seeking the truth.

The alternative media is by no means perfect, we make mistakes just as the mainstream does. The difference is that the alternative media actively attempts to tell the truth rather than actively attempting to hide it or misdirect the reader. Furthermore, when we make a mistake we also make the retraction clear, rather than burying it in small type on page 27.

The consistent reports of reducing newspaper subscribers is mirrored on the Internet, as alternative news websites begin to surpass big city newspapers in readership.

Using the Alexa web rankings as a benchmark, we compared a number of popular alternative websites to big city newspaper websites. The results are very encouraging.

The Alexa system has several different filters for measuring traffic to a particular site but the base number appears at the top of the page for every website URL. The lower the number, the more visitors the website gets. For example, Yahoo.com is number one.

Let's take a look at two major market big city newspapers, the Las Vegas Sun and the Daily Oklahoman. The Sun comes in at 13,699.

The Oklahoman comes in at 10,312. Bear in mind that the websites for these kind of newspapers are run by a staff of anything from five to twenty people. Alternative media websites like Prison Planet.com, WhatReallyHappened.com and Rense.com are run by two people apiece, and in some cases just one.

Prison Planet.com comes in at 11,655, but the very latest figures show our traffic trend to be around 8,000-9,000. This means that more people are reading Prison Planet.com than are reading Oklahoma's biggest newspaper online.

Furthermore, a paper like the Oklahoman has many different sections, for example classifieds, which attract people for different reasons than just wanting to read the news. Our websites are solely focused on news. So if you compared the websites just on people who visited to read the news, we'd be even further ahead.

Papers like the Austin Chronicle are way behind alternative media sites like WhatReallyHappened.com and Rense.com.

We are not bragging, we are simply pointing out the good news. The numbers continue to trend in our favor.

At 3,732, Rense.com is bigger than the vast majority of mainstream news websites. Only internationally renowned outlets like BBC, New York Times and Washington Post are bigger.

See how far a growing alternative media site like Raw Story, which is little over a year old, is ahead of one of Wes Virginia's biggest newspapers.

It is time for the alternative media to have the credibility afforded to it that it deserves. If the establishment media continue to dismiss the alternative as badly researched, minority appeal, conspiracy mongering, then they only continue to insult and alienate the general public.

People instinctively know deep down that there is something very wrong with this world and that the truth behind modern day developments is being purposefully shielded from them by media conglomerations owned by faceless corporations in league with Kafkaesque authorities.

This is why the establishment is trying to shut down the alternative media by controlling and regulating the Internet.

Laws passed in the aftermath of the London bombings talk of targeting 'extremist' websites who indirectly support terrorism. When the definition of extremism and supporting terrorism is disagreeing with the government's official story behind an act of terrorism, then they have carte blanche to silence anyone they choose.

This is why you should continue to support alternative media and oppose those who wish to see it disappear forever.

"Incompetence theorists" still deny inside involvement

Steve Watson/Infowars | August 10 2005

On August 2nd we reported the revelation that the "mastermind" of the 7/7 London Bombings, Haroon Rashid Aswat, is a British Intelligence Asset.

Former Justice Dept. Prosecutor and Terror expert John Loftus revealed that British Intelligence and the US dept of Justice had protected Haroon Rashid Aswat: "Back in 1999 he came to America. The Justice Department wanted to indict him in Seattle because him and his buddy were trying to set up a terrorist training school in Oregon... we've just learned that the headquarters of the US Justice Department ordered the Seattle prosecutors not to touch Aswat... , apparently Aswat was working for British intelligence"

On 29th July the London Times reported that Aswat had been arrested in Zambia in "Britain's biggest manhunt". Aswat had been named as a "key Al Qaeda figure" in FBI documents and According to several newspaper and wire reports, Aswat spoke with some of the four July 7 attackers.

Aswat had apparently been "on the run" since 1999 yet he was allowed to live and work in London and come and go from Britain as he pleased. Days after the bombings he was said to be in Pakistani custody, yet he somehow managed to slip away from the authorities there as well and ended up in Africa.

British anti-terror investigators have since downplayed the theory of Aswat as the mastermind behind 7/7, yet it has now been reported that Aswat has been brought back into Britain yet Scotland Yard are "not interested" in talking to him. Instead Scotland Yard seem to be more concerned with charging the dummy bombers of 21/7 who killed no-one and whose bombs consisted of flour. NO ONE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH OR QUESTIONED ABOUT THE REAL BOMBINGS THAT KILLED OVER 50 PEOPLE. WHY?

The indication seems to be because it was an inside Intelligence operation. We have exhaustively documented the clear evidence that the mainstream media will not cover. It's the same operation everytime. The real terrorists are allowed to go free, because they are working within intelligence service guidelines, whilst a group of patsies or failed copycats are grabbed and publicly blamed.

Aswat has been named as a "Key Al Qaeda figure", even if he was not involved in the bombings you would expect our security services to want to question him extensively in an attempt to extract any knowledge he may have. You would also expect our mainstream media to be up in arms over this issue, yet they do not question a single thing.

The dying phenomenon of the "Incompetence theorists"

Ask yourself two questions, firstly Incompetence or Conspiracy? Is it more likely that British security services, police force and media act with such incompetence at all levels, top to bottom, consistently again and again and again, or is it more likely that at the very top a small corrupt cabal is purposefully letting these "mistakes" happen because it is part of a pre-planned agenda?

Secondly who benefits? Do the Islamic fundamentalists, who become demonized throughout the entire Muslim and Western world, whose outlets to preach their ideologies become severely restricted, and whose very survival becomes under threat. Or do the authorities who get greater funding, increased powers, extended freedom to operate and carte blanche privileges that take precedent over any public civil liberties that may have previously infringed their activities?

If, as we are told over and over, the terrorists hate us because they hate our freedom then why are the authorities, who are supposedly fighting terror, restricting our freedom?

There has been a distinct shift in public perspective in Britain, akin to that in the US in the years after 911, whereby the public no longer dismiss the difficult facts as "conspiracy theory", they put them down to authoritarial incompetence. These "incompetence theorists" will still not leave their comfort zone mind set because it means they would have to stand up and get involved which they would rather not have to do. Yet this IS an encouraging development because it shows that as we document the inconsistencies and the facts that the mainstream media will not report, we are having an impact and we are altering public perception. Soon enough the "incompetence theorists" will languish in numbers alongside the "coincidence theorists" and our integrity will be further bolstered.

Four Star General Fired For Organizing Coup Against Neo-Cons?
Reporter suggests Brynes discovered plan to turn nuke exercise into staged terror attack

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | August 10 2005

The head of Fort Monroe's Training and Doctrine Command, four star general Kevin P. Byrnes, was fired Tuesday apparently for sexual misconduct according to official sources.

Other sources however have offered a different explanation for Byrnes' dismissal which ties in with the Bush administration's unpopular plan to attack Iran and the staged nuclear attack in the US which would provide the pretext to do so.

According to reporter Greg Szymanski, anonymous military sources said that Brynes was the leader of a faction that was preparing to instigate a coup against the neo-con hawks in an attempt to prevent further global conflict.

Indications are that, much like popular opinion amongst the general public, half the military oppose the neo-con's agenda and half support it.

Further revelations were imparted by journalist Leland Lehrman who appeared today on The Alex Jones Show.

Lehrman's army sources, including a former Captain in intelligence, became outraged when they learned that the official story behind 9/11 was impossible.

They told Lehrman that the imminent Northcom nuclear terror exercise based in Charleston, S.C, where a nuclear warhead is smuggled off a ship and detonated, was originally intended to 'go live' - as in the drill would be used as the cover for a real false flag staged attack.

This website has relentlessly discussed similar style drills which took place on the morning of 9/11 and on the morning of 7/7 in London.

"Speculation exists that he had potentially discovered the fact that it was gonna go live and that he was trying to put a stop to it or also speculation indicates that he may be part of a military coup designed to prevent the ridiculous idea of doing a nuclear war with Iran, " said Lehrman.

Lehrman said that other sources had told him all army leave had been cancelled from September 7th onwards, opening the possibility for war to be declared within that time frame.

Northcom officials also admitted to Lehrman that CNN had been using its situation room as a studio.

Earlier this week, Washington Post reported that the Pentagon has developed its first ever war plans for operations within the continental United States, in which terrorist attacks would be used as the justification for imposing martial law on cities, regions or the entire country.

American Conservative Magazine recently reported that Dick Cheney had given orders to immediately invade Iran after the next terror attack in the US, even if there was no evidence Iran was involved.

Government and media mouthpieces have been fearmongering for weeks about how a nuclear attack within the US is imminent.

Now would be the most opportune time for the Globalists to stage a major attack, as it would head off any potential indictments against the Bush administration for their involvement in illegally outing CIA agent Valerie Plame.

While rumors circulating about indictments having already taken place against Bush and Cheney should rightly be treated very carefully, the fact that there is an ongoing criminal investigation into the matter is something that's admitted and shouldn't be viewed as speculation.

Mayhem and terror in Southern states to protect government drug cartels

While the threat of terrorists attacking the US is regularly one of the top news headlines on a daily basis, real terror that has already claimed the lives of 600 people this year is being routinely ignored or downplayed by the mainstream media.

Mexican drug commando organization los Zetas has been carrying out kidnappings of American citizens and politically motivated assassinations which have stretched from the border town of Nuevo Laredo through to Dallas, Houston and San Antonio all the way to Nashville, Tenn., and Atlanta, Ga.

If Al-Qaeda had infiltrated the US and carried out hundreds of assassinations and kidnappings including those of FBI and DEA agents as well as police chiefs, do you think the media would be interested? Of course they would and yet this very scenario is being played out with scant coverage in local newspapers and the occasional wire blurb.

A February 2005 wire report describes just two of the incidents that have claimed the lives of over a hundred people just in the last month.

"Federal and Dallas authorities have blamed the following incidents on the Zetas: At 1:20 a.m. on Dec. 5, a gunman stepped out of a red sports car with a semi-automatic weapon and opened fire on three suspected drug traffickers as they played pool in the open garage of a home in the 5100 block of Mimi Court in Oak Cliff. Christian Alejandro Meza, 26, alias Juan Antonio Ortega, a parolee from Wichita, Kan., who was wanted on weapons charges, died of multiple wounds to the abdomen. Two other men were severely wounded and are being held on drug charges."

"On Sept. 28, police found the bodies of Mathew Frank Geisler and Brandon Gallegos, both 19 and from Laredo, in a burning 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe in a field near the corner of Morrell Avenue and Sargent Road, in the Cadillac Heights area of Oak Cliff. Both men had been shot, and the case probably involved drugs, according to police accounts."

"A federal investigator said that "without a doubt" both incidents were carried out by the Zetas."

"We're seeing an alarming number of incidents involving the same type of violence that's become all too common in Mexico, right here in Dallas," said the former Dallas narcotics officer. "We're seeing execution style murders, burned bodies and outright mayhem. It's like the battles being waged in Mexico for turf have reached Dallas."

Los Zetas, Mexican drug commandos trained in the U.S. at the School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia to be the elite "special forces" of the Mexican military are now murdering police and conducting hits all over the South West US.

The town of Nuevo Laredo is basically under a state of siege, causing the US to close their consulate in the city on August 8th, after bazookas, grenades and machine guns bombarded nearby buildings. This followed the murder of Police Chief Alejandro Dominguez, who was assassinated only hours after taking office.

Eighteen other police have been killed in Nuevo Laredo alone, along with police and border patrol on the US side.

A Mexican federal agent was also gunned down in Brownsville, Texas in late May. Violence against border patrol agents at a record high.

Los Zetas wear black military style uniforms and in every way are an organized, regimented force which poses a threat to the US ten times greater than Al-Qaeda, yet a majority of US citizens have little idea who they are or the carnage that they are causing.

On July 26 the United States renewed a travel warning for U.S. citizens crossing the border into Mexico. The U.S. ambassador in Mexico, Tony Garza, said that the violence saw no sign of abating.

With the rampage spreading further and further into the States, one would expect the US government to be doing their up most to tighten the border and protect the country from increased infiltration from the Zetas death squads.

They have done the exact opposite.

After President Bush attacked the Minutemen as "vigilantes," the Border Patrol in Arizona were ordered to stand down and not arrest people illegally crossing the border, in order to make the Minutemen look bad and ineffective.

The establishment media played their part in demonizing the Minutemen as a racist lynch mob, when in reality the Minutemen are just concerned citizens sitting in lawn chairs with binoculars, in many cases on their own land, trying to aid the border patrol in protecting America.

Bush continues to sign legislation like CAFTA and further enhancements of he FTAA, easing border controls which harm America not only economically but also make it less secure.

Why would the US government make it easier for drug smuggling death squads to enter the country? Because the US government controls los Zetas and uses it as the front group for their narco-empire.

Retired DEA Agent Celerino "Cele" Castillo III served for 12 years in the Drug Enforcement Administration where he built cases against organized drug rings in Manhattan, raided jungle cocaine labs in the amazon, conducted aerial eradication operations in Guatemala, and assembled and trained anti-narcotics units in several countries.

Castillo dismisses media reports that the los Zetas crime wave was simply a case of blowback after the US government trained them at the School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia in the 70's and 80's.

Castillo affirms that truth is that they are still working for the US government in protecting drug routes to keep the wheels of Wall Street oiled. Castillo has gone on the record to state that the commandos are working directly for the US government drug cartel in carrying out hits on rival drug smugglers who aren't paying their cut.

During an appearance on the Alex Jones Show in June, Castillo outlined his claims.

Cele Castillo: "That same blueprint they used in Guatemala and in Vietnam they have now brought it to Iraq and the same Colonel who ran the death squads down in El Salvador Colonel James Steele is now running those commando unit death squads in Iraq. So basically we have the same individuals, same cell groups that were in Vietnam that came to central America and Miami and so forth and are now in Iraq and some of them are being trained here in south Texas. There's warehouses down here we're they're training more Zetas individuals that work for the cartels.

Alex Jones: "Now for those that missed that, you have evidence as a former veteran, peace officer and then head DEA agent in Latin America and you live in south Texas, that down there they are training these los Zetas groups and again they're now targeting rival cowboys that are not paying their cut, do you agree with that statement?"

Cele Castillo: "Absolutely but not only that just recently last month we had a female US customs agent driving down the highway and a couple of individuals drove up to her and just shot the hell out of the car and she got hit on the ankle and they're not gonna take any more prisoners. They're now gonna target FBI agents, DEA agents and people that were able to get away from...."

Alex Jones: "And Bush has ordered the border patrol to stand down there in the Tuscon sector because, this was official, because it was cutting in on their drug profits."

Cele Castillo: "Well exactly and now they're planning to come to south Texas and they're gonna do the same thing here in south Texas and there was a story just today in the paper which says border patrol agents say you know what we can't stop these people from coming across the border and the reason that we can't stop them is because our government is not letting us do it."

Alex Jones: "Well I read in the Brownsville paper, the Dallas Morning News you name it that they're conducting murders all over Texas and killing police officers but it's a national secret Cele, it's in regional papers....

Cele Castillo: "Well one of the most major things that people don't realize that's going on is a lot of these people getting murdered are informants for the DEA and FBI and basically people don't wanna admit the fact or let the public know that these people are informants working for the government."

Now we understand exactly why the US government is trying to keep the secret border wars under wraps, because los Zetas are their hired thugs doing their dirty work.

The Bush administration and their mouthpieces are ramming it down our throats that Al-Qaeda is about to attack and yet trained death squads are already marauding all over the southern states assassinating police and federal agents and kidnapping American citizens.

Once again it is down to us, the alternative media, to give this story some traction and prevent the terror gangs of los Zetas and their handlers, the US government, from flooding the streets of the US with more drugs and killing innocent people in cold blood.

Steve Watson/Infowars | August 15 2005

On Friday 12th August 2005 Alex Jones interviewed investigative journalist Tom Flocco, who has written for World Net Daily and many other major publications, was in attendance at many of the 9/11 whitewash Commission meetings and has broken many big stories in recent years.

Click here to listen to the entire Tom Flocco interview

Flocco claims he has received information from intelligence sources and sources on the fringe of intelligence that suggests indictments have been handed down to members of the Bush Administration.

He has had it on good authority that US federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's grand jury has convened in Chicago to indict Bush officials for perjury and obstruction of justice . According to Flocco individuals have been at work for over a year and a half on this matter.

Patrick Fitzgerald is certainly no stranger to investigation of and indictment of government officials. Fitzgerald is the special prosecutor investigating the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's name to columnist Robert Novak, and his office is also prosecuting former Illinois governor George Ryan and loyal associates of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley on influence-peddling and corruption charges.

Flocco named Tom Heneghen, a stock broker in California who has sources within intelligence that have revealed many thousands of individuals are sick of the government agenda since 9/11, in addition to their selling out of intelligence officials left right and centre, and are gathering evidence of criminality and taking it to grand juries. The Valerie Plame case is just one such example of this kind of activity, yet according to Heneghan there is much more going on that our media is simply not reporting.

Sources close to the jury probe have allegedly told Heneghen a host of administration figures under Bush have been indicted, including Vice President Dick Cheney, Chief of Staff Andrew Card, Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, imprisoned New York Times reporter Judith Miller and former Cheney advisor Mary Matalin. Heneghen also allegedly told sources White House advisor Karl Rove was indicted for perjury in a major document shredding operation cover-up.

If such information regarding these indictments is correct, the fact that the it has not made the media that the President and the Vice president have been subpoenaed to appear before a federal jury indicates there is a major cover up in operation.

Subway incident

Flocco has also reported on the incident on July 18th when allegedly French and US intelligence agents intercepted British intelligence agents who were attempting to bomb the subway underneath the Dirksen Federal Building where Fitzgerald was presiding over grand jury hearings. Tom Heneghen has said he had talked to sources ten minutes prior to this event.

The bomb scare was reported to local police late Monday afternoon, July 18, causing the subway to be evacuated for approximately 45 minutes while bomb sniffing dogs and swat team members searched for what was reported to be “a suspicious package” left on one of the subway cars.

Serious questions can also be raised as to whether intelligence forces linked to President Bush and Tony Blair had participated in a failed attempt to de-rail the Fitzgerald probe by literally blowing it up at a time when evidence has revealed MI6 involvement in the 7/7 London Bombings.

9/11 connections

Flocco has also recently complied evidence to suggest that American politicians and heads of federal agencies were heavily involved in drug money laundering and the financing of the 9/11 attacks. In his article Financial terrorism towers over 9.11: Evidence points to attack on America by White House crime families, Flocco reveals how FBI translator turned whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, revealing the content of the FBI intercepts she heard, indicates that recognizable, very high-profile American citizens are linked to the 911 attacks.

Edmonds said "There is direct evidence involving no more than ten American names that I recognized," further revealing that "some are heads of government agencies or politicians, but I don’t want to go any further than that,". Edmonds evidence was thrown out of court even though she has been backed by several prominent FBI figures and politicians. The Bush Administration has her under gag order and is moving to have her arrested.

The former FBI translator has implicated everything "from drugs to money laundering to arms sales. And yes, there are certain convergences with all these activities and international terrorism," adding "they don’t deal with 1 or 5 million dollars, but with hundreds of millions."

Flocco has reported how Edmonds implied that legislators and even lobbyists were benefiting from laundered narcotics proceeds in an earlier interview with the Baltimore Chronicle, "...this money travels. And you start trying to go to the root of it and it’s getting into somebody’s political campaign, and somebody’s lobbying. And people don’t want to be traced back to this money."

"Once this issue gets to be investigated, you will be seeing certain [American] people that we know from this country standing trial; and they will be prosecuted criminally." Edmonds went on to suggest.

Flocco indicates that such wink and nod activity is infuriating good people within the intelligence agencies who have seen similar if not identical briefs as the major players within the government. It is clear that some senators and congressmen are turning a blind eye to open corruption within the highest echelons of government and Patriot intelligence operatives are not going along with it.

Cloak and Dagger

The trouble with reporting on this kind of cloak and dagger activity is that you have to use conjecture. Yet we certainly will not hold off reporting the story as we see it, especially when our mainstream media in the UK and the US is currently devoting front page headlines to UNCONFIRMED RUMOURS of terror attacks (see here and here). There are certainly criminal investigations going on as we have seen with the Plame incident. Is this latest story a desperate whim of hope for justice in an unjust world? Like a dying soldier that sees a mirage on the battlefield?

Tom Flocco is adamant that this story is accurate. His sources are very close to the Grand Jury, and in many cases are actually giving evidence to the grand jury in Chicago.

Furthermore, as journalist Greg Szymanski has revealed, the prosecutor's office response was "no comment." If this was all totally made up wouldn't they want to distance themselves from it and not leave it open?

We will continue to report any updated information regarding this case.

Charleston Post & Courier Runs Hit Piece On Nuclear Drill Story

Prison Planet | August 16 2005

The Charleston Post and Courier ran a sardonic hit piece on the nuclear drills set to take place this month which simulate a nuclear weapon which is smuggled from a boat off the port of Charleston, South Carolina.

The article is a childish attempt to make questions about the current nuclear terror drills appear comical.

This website nor any other that reported on the nuclear terror drills said that 'Charleston will blow up' - all we were doing was asking questions about the poorly explained dismissal of four star general Kevin P. Byrnes, and highlighting other sources who claimed that the dismissal was due to Byrnes finding out that the terror drill was set to go live.

Alex Jones appeared on Coast to Coast AM to discuss this story and he made it clear that we were simply reporting on issues that others had raised, we were not the source of the story and our aim was twofold. One, to ascertain how accurate the story was and two to head off any possibility of this drill becoming live, by simply giving the story attention we had already achieved the second aim.

An excellent rebuttal by another website that has been covering this, posted here, makes all the same points that we would.

The paper says the drill is taking place in Fort Monroe in Virginia, not Charleston South Carolina.

This is true but the article then states that Charleston was mentioned a rumor mentioned "on a lark." Northcom's own press release which you can read here states that the exercise is based around an incident in Charleston South Carolina, this is not a rumor.

Also, can the Charleston Post and Courier please explain to us why FEMA Region IV would be invited to take place in the drill if the Charleston link was "on a lark"? FEMA Region IV encompasses South Carolina, it does not encompass Virginia.

The 'facts seem to get in the way' of most of this report as it also says part of the 'conspiracy theories' speculate that Iran would be behind the attack piggy-backed on the drill. Not one website that has covered this story ever claimed Iran would be behind the attack. We said that if there was an attack it would be an inside job and that Iran WOULD BE BLAMED for the attack. There is a huge difference.

At no point did we run to the hills shouting that Charleston was about to be vaporized. If anyone is to be accused of fearmongering about a nuclear attack then it is the government, who keep telling us that it's not a matter of if but when.

Remember the pre-election certainty of an attack? That didn't happen but the government was never called on it.

"We assume," says a top administration official, "an attack will happen leading up to the election." And, he added, "it will happen here," reported US News and World Report in July 2004.

Dick Cheney regularly hypes the threat of a nuclear or biological attack on US soil.

All this is now moot. The attention the stoy has garnered ensures THERE WILL BE NO ATTACK, and this was our intention all along, bring the story out in the light and make sure everybody is aware of it, so in this sense the hit piece has helped our cause. We thank Brian Hicks and the Charleston Post and Courier for their contribution.

A drill? An attack? Rumor mill names Charleston as the setting

Brian Hicks/Charleston Post & Courier | August 16 2005

Run for your lives -- Charleston will blow up this week.

This is only a test. Or an Internet rumor. It's not exactly clear which.

For the past week, conspiracy theorists have been spinning an elaborate tale of how the U.S. government will turn a terrorism drill in Charleston into a nuclear attack.

Why? To give the country a reason to invade Iran, of course.

If this makes no apparent sense, then your other car isn't a black helicopter, and you've never mistaken Crab Bank at low tide for a grassy knoll.

Still, this chatter has stirred up folks all over the Lowcountry, worried that nuclear fallout could seriously ruin their weekend. Officials with Charleston County, the state's emergency management personnel and even the Department of Defense have gotten worried calls from folks scanning the skies for mushroom clouds over Fort Sumter.

Trouble is, as with most conspiracy theories, the facts often get in the way.

Locals officials say no drills are planned this week, and the state Ports Authority says no plans have been made to detonate any nuclear weapons in the harbor.

"We're not aware of that," Port spokesman Byron Miller said.

The rumors began with a Northern Command press release about a terrorism training exercise that began: "Here's the scenario ... A seafaring vessel transporting a 10-kiloton nuclear warhead makes its way into a port off the coast of Charleston, S.C. Terrorists aboard the ship attempt to smuggle the warhead off and detonate it."

If this sounds familiar, perhaps you remember "Special Bulletin," a 1983 movie with roughly the same plot and set in Charleston. Perhaps the terrorists don't have a manual, just cable television.

One Web site says the idea is that the exercise was intended to "go live" and be used for cover for a real attack. For proof, they say terrorism drills were planned in the United States on 9/11 and in London on 7/7.

Problem is, the terrorism drill, which will focus on bad guys getting nukes, will take place this week at Fort Monroe in Hampton Roads, Va. -- about 400 miles up the coast. Charleston was apparently mentioned on a lark. The organization charged with homeland defense has no plans to stage a drill in the Lowcountry.

"We have no planned exercises in Charleston," said Lt. Jody Vazquez with the Northern Command.

Of course, those who think the New World Order is more than a boy band say that is exactly what they would say.

As is often the case in the world of conspiracy theories, nothing is ever simple. The story, as reported on Internet sites such as prisonplanet.com and total911.info, says that the recent firing of a four-star general, ostensibly for sexual misconduct, was actually an attempt to thwart a military uprising against "neo-con hawks in an attempt to prevent further global conflict."

The general, Kevin P. Byrnes, was head of Fort Monroe's Training and Doctrine Command. And, according to these Internet sites, Byrnes was leading an insurgency bent on stopping the United States from escalating global conflict.

Other details, such as why Iran would blow up Charleston, are not explained in these theories. Perhaps they hate us for our freedom -- or our sweetgrass baskets and Spanish moss.

Fueling the speculation locally is the fact that there actually was a sort of terrorism drill here on Aug. 5. More than 100 state, local and federal officials gathered at the Passenger Terminal to discuss a weapons of mass destruction attack. But it was all just talk.

"It was a tabletop exercise, there weren't police out running around all over the place," said Joe Farmer, spokesman for the state's Emergency Management Division.

So, the bottom line is that Charleston probably isn't really going to blow up this week.

The only explosion you are likely to hear will come from the Convention and Visitors Bureau, which can't be very happy that people are online posting sentiments such as "I guess it would be a good idea to not be in Charleston, S.C., for the foreseeable future."

Danger Of Staged Terror Attack at Red Alert Level
Will Sheehan force establishment's hand or can they fend her off?

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet | August 21 2005

Recent events and news developments paint a clear picture of an establishment under intense heat and backed into a corner with no perceivable escape route.

At no greater time since 9/11 than during the next few months have we faced such an imminent danger of a staged terror attack being carried out to reign in the seeds of dissent and again rally the sleeping masses behind the elite.

The Globalists are like heroin junkies, every time they carry out an attack the gas mileage obtained from it in terms of getting a free pass from the public on anything they wish to push through gets weaker and weaker.

Those boys have cried wolf so many times they only still hold credibility amongst the most docile of sheep.

Only an attack on the scale of or greater than 9/11, as Bush is holed up safely in his Hollywood studio ranch, will allow them the leeway to fulfil their greedy and dark desires.

Revealing the true nature of their cowardice, we turn our eyes to Crawford Texas and see that one American housewife has the might of the establishment cornered like the man behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.

But will Cindy's Sheehan's efforts ultimately be co-opted?

Sheehan's simple and genuine message has held steadfast in the face of numerous smear campaigns by the establishment mouthpiece pseudo-press.

We must be very careful to remember that the Drudge Report, Sean Hannity and O'Reilly do not represent a political persuasion that truly encompasses any thinking American. On every single issue they support the government and since many of the government's actions cannot be called 'conservative' in the true sense of the word, the Neo-Con attack machine therefore does not represent real conservatives.

We must also consider that Sheehan will be manipulated by the left at every turn. Since both left and right ultimately share the same agenda, to prop up the establishment and misdirect people from real issues, a more sophisticated left gatekeeper movement could succeed in convincing Sheehan to go home.

Expect empty shell Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers and Maxine Waters to collect signatures for a petition demanding Bush meet with Sheehan. Sheehan will take this as a result and go home. Bush will ignore the petition and another event will push the whole issue to one side.

Remember the Downing Street Memo? That jack got put right back in the box after Democrats got hold of it and allowed the Neo-Cons to dismiss it as partisan nonsense.

Hopefully Sheehan will resist all outside influences and just stick to her original message. If she does so, it makes the threat of a false flag event all the greater.

The strategy of tension continues with the nuclear attack drill targeting Charleston having just wrapped up. Many warned that the attack could go live as happened on 9/11 and 7/7. Merely shining a spotlight on the possibility ensured that it didn't.

According to military sources Dick Cheney "spends his entire day consumed with issues of terrorism and U.S. nuclear retaliation in the Middle East if an attack on American soil occurs."

America Conservative reported that Cheney has already given the green light for an attack on Iran in the immediate aftermath of the next terror strike in the US, even if Iran have nothing to do with it.

Generals both privately and publicly have told of their fears of a large scale attack in the coming weeks.

We don't have a crystal ball but it's very clear that the timetable for Russia to fuel Iran's nuclear reactors and the timetable for Israel or America to strike one or more of the reactors is about to overlap. You can fit a square peg into a round hole and Russia's foreign ministry made that very clear this week in stating that the consequences of an American/Israeli attack would be "barely predictable."

If we make it through the rest of the year without a major terror attack then consider it a battle won in an ongoing war of psyop and counter-psyop. Eternal vigilance is a safeguard of liberty and a society that wishes to remain free should watch its government at all times with the intensity of a hawk that stalks its prey.

About 90 law enforcement officers from multiple agencies broke up what they said was a rave party on public and private property in the Diamond Fork area of Spanish Fork canyon, an hour outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday.

According to the county, the sheriff's office had been investigating similar parties since the beginning of the season. In a press release from the Sheriff's office in Utah County, the department claims that previous allegations of sexual abuse while attending other raves, as well as various firearm and theft violations, were reason for the investigation. The release continues to state that the proper permit was not obtained before the party started.

Armed with assault rifles and tear gas, the police used dogs to sweep the crowd for narcotics. At least one helicopter was used in the operation. The scale of the police response was apparently due to the ineffectiveness of a smaller force used in the previous "Sequence Five" rave. Prior to dispersing the partiers, several police informants had reportedly infiltrated the rave and observed widespread illegal activities.

The promoter says the party took place on private property, named Child's Ranch, with express permission from the owner. The property owner has apparently had at least one previous run-in with police over a similar event. Utah County requires a permit, bond and county commission approval for all gatherings with more than 250 people present. According to a DJ at the event, "they presold 700 tickets and they expected up to 3,000 people total". He added that by the time police arrived "the crowd was about 1500 people thick".

The police have publicly stated that these permits were not obtained, but the promoters claim otherwise. Officials also claim that the party had spilled over onto public land.

Police reported in local press that more than 60 arrests were made for weapons offenses, driving under the influence, underage drinking, drug possession and distribution, resisting arrest, assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct. Officers claim to have found cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, mushrooms, alcohol and large amounts of drug paraphernalia. Some of the drugs may include those confiscated from partiers by security guards.

Amateur video from the scene shows a number of SWAT police (estimates are at 90) screaming orders at the DJs to "Shut it down now!" and yelling at others to "get out now, or I'll kick your ass in jail". Armed police are also seen tackling a number of rave-goers, and it is unclear from the video footage whether these attendees attempted to attack the police. Due to the low resolution, automatic lighting adjustment, and low audio quality, the video appears to have been taken with a cellular phone.

A first hand account from a DJ booked to play at the party stated that while police were arresting a man accused of narcotic possession, the suspect was beaten to the ground and continually "kicked in the ribs" by 4 armed "soldiers" dressed in camouflage. According to the account, nobody resisted the policemen but tear gas was still used as partiers were already dispersing quietly. The DJ also states that police were attempting to confiscate video equipment, but an amateur video has still surfaced on the internet (see sources below).

Several partygoers felt they should have the right to attend a rave where drugs are being used, so long as they don't personally use them:

"While it may be true that some individuals choose to take drugs at said events like this, myself as well as many others choose to go for the music. Just like anything, you have bad apples, but you shouldn't cut down the tree." "Raves are not the only musical gatherings where drugs are used and distributed."

Other partygoers felt that the use of force in the shutdown was excessive - numerous eyewitness accounts by concertgoers describe people being beaten, tasered, or attacked with dogs. One account from an attendee, identified as "Colby", states:

"I saw at least two people being beaten on the ground while barking, snarling dogs are held just a few feet from them. Weapons were being pointed at unarmed, peaceful civilians. A friend of mine was forced at gunpoint to put his hands on his head and turn around, because he asked if he could get his things from the tent."

Utah County sheriff's Sergeant Darren Gilbert said a 17-year-old girl was found overdosed on ecstasy, and was treated and released to her parents. Multiple lawsuits are being threatened against the city. According to an advertisement for the event, an attorney was present at the party. The local sheriff is scheduled to appear on Utah TV following a number of complaints being sent to TV stations and the police.

UTAH RAVERS TREATED LIKE TERRORISTS! EVOL INTENT'S ACCOUNT OF THE INCIDENT!

The promoters did an amazing job with the show.. they even made slipmats with the flyers on them to promote in local shops.

So, we got to the show around 11:15 or so and it was really cool. It was all outdoors, in a valley surrounded by huge mountains. They had an amazing light show flashing on to a mountain behind the site, the sound was booming, the crowd was about 1500 people thick and everything just seemed too good to be true really. Well...

At about 11:30 or so, I was standing behind the stage talking with someone when I noticed a helicopter pulling over one of the mountain tops. I jokingly said "Oh look, here comes big brother" to the person I was with. I wasn't far off.

The helicopter dipped lower and lower and started shining its lights on the crowd. I was kind of in awe and just sat and watched this thing circle us for a minute. As I looked back towards the crowd I saw a guy dressed in camoflauge walking by, toting an assault rifle. At this point, everyone was fully aware of what was going on . A few "troops" rushed the stage and cut the sound off and started yelling that everyone "get the fuck out of here or go to jail". This is where it got really sticky.

No one resisted. That's for sure. They had police dogs raiding the crowd of people and I saw a dog signal out a guy who obviously had some drugs on him. The soldiers attacked the guy (4 of them on 1), and kicked him a few times in the ribs and had their knees in his back and sides. As they were cuffing him, there was about 1000 kids trying to leave in the backdrop, peacefully. Next thing I know, A can of fucking TEAR GAS is launched into the crowd. People are running and screaming at this point. Girls are crying, guys are cussing... bad scene.

Now, this is all I saw with my own eyes, but I heard plenty of other accounts of the night. Now this isnt gossip I heard from some candy raver, these are instances cited straight out of the promoters mouth..

One of the promoters friends (a very small female) was attacked by one of the police dogs. As she struggled to get away from it, the police tackled her. 3 grown men proceeded to KICK HER IN THE STOMACH.

The police confiscated 3 video tapes in total. People were trying to document what was happening out there. The police saw one guy filming and ran after him, tackled him and his camera fell, and luckily.. his friend grabbed it and ran and got away. priceless footage. That's not all though. Out of 1,500 people, there's sure to be more footage.

The police were rounding up the staff of the party and the main promoter went up to them with the permit for the show and said "here, I have the permit." The police then said, "no you don't" and ripped the permit out of his hand. Then, they put an assault rifle to his forehead and said "get the fuck out of here right now."

Now.. let's get the facts straight here.

This event was 100% legal. They had every permit the city told them they needed. They had a 2 MILLION DOLLAR insurance policy for the event. They had liscenced security guards at the gates confiscating any alcohol or drugs found upon entry (yes, they searched every car on the way in). Oh, I suppose I should mention that they arrested all the security guards for possession.

Oh another interesting fact.. the police did not have a warrant. The owner of the land already has a lawsuit against the city for something similar. A few months ago, she rented her land for a party and the police raided that as well. And catch this, the police forced her to LEAVE HER OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY. That's right. They didnt arrest her, but made her leave her own property!!!

Don't get it twisted, this is all going down in probably THE most conservative state in the USA. And this is scary.. a gross violation of our civil liberties. The police wanted this party shut down, so they made it happen. Even though everything about this event was legal. The promoters spent over $ 20,000 on this show and did everything they had to to make it legit, only to have it taken away from them by a group of radical neo-con's with an agenda.

This was one of the scariest things I have ever witnessed in person. I can't even begin to describe how surreal it was. Helicopters, assault rifles, tear gas, camoflauge-wearing soldiers.... why? Was that really necessary?

This needs to be big news across the USofA. At least in our music scene (edm as a whole)... this could happen to any of us at any time. When we're losing the right to gather peacefully, we're also letting the police set a standard of what we can get away with. And I think that's BULLSHIT!

The system fucked up last night... They broke up a party that was 100% legal and they physically hurt a lot of people there at the same time. The promoters already have 6 lawsuits ready to file with their lawyers and the ACLU is already involved.

I'm sure some pictures (and hopefully some video) will surface soon. I'll make sure to post them up here on 404, so you can see the Police State of America at work.

p.s. - there are more stories of police brutality that i'll post up later. gotta hit the airport soon. can't wait to get the fuck out of this shit hole state.

Witnesses say undue force used at rave

Utah Daily Herald | August 23 2005

Firsthand accounts conflict so starkly that one might wonder whether law enforcement busted two separate events last weekend in Spanish Fork Canyon. Yet the Diamond Fork-area location is among few details confirmed by both the roughly 300 partygoers and about 90 law enforcement personnel who dispelled them at 11:30 p.

m. Saturday.

Uprock Records of Salt Lake City promoted the event as an "album-release party" on fliers and Internet sites like www.utrave.org. In addition to live performances by DJ Craze of Miami and Spor from the United Kingdom, the party featured typical highlights like a laser light show, barbecue, oxygen bar and glow sticks.

Undercover deputies and SWAT members depict a rave with rampant illegal activity. Beyond the anticipated drugs -- ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, mushrooms -- they discovered counterfeit money, guns and an overdosed 17-year-old girl.

But where the stories drastically diverge is the raid.

The Utah County Sheriff's Office reported 18 citations for disorderly conduct, failure to disperse or related charges; 21 alcohol- or drug-related offenses; two for assaulting a peace officer; and two related to firearms. Sheriff Jim Tracy said most of the crowd left peacefully, and deputies exercised a "takedown method" only to arrest those who actively resisted.

Witnesses, however, allege "soldiers" and SWAT members held "AK-47s" to partygoers' heads, punched girls in the face and unleashed an arsenal of everything from attack dogs to tear gas.

"At about 11:30 a helicopter began circling the party," said one partygoer in an e-mail to the Daily Herald. "Out of nowhere huge semis filled with National Guard, SWAT and the police rolled up. Soldiers came out of the bushes and rushed down to the party carrying M-16s, AK-47s, nightsticks and Tasers. They proceeded to attack random people and push their might around on people who had done nothing."

Partygoers and rave fans worldwide are circulating video footage through the Internet to support such claims -- while Tracy used the same clips to defend law enforcement.

"No excessive force was used," he said emphatically.

The SWAT personnel -- including teams from Utah County, Provo, the state Department of Corrections and the Department of Public Safety -- are always prepared with a wide arsenal of riot-fighting gear, including tear gas and canines, but Tracy said they did not use any such weapons Saturday night. The tactical gear is camouflaged similar to military fatigues, but neither the National Guard nor any other military was present.

Josh Witbeck, one of the security staff hired by organizers for the event, has interacted with police at several similar events during three years as a bouncer in Salt Lake-area nightclubs, but police hostility, like he said he observed Saturday night, is rare.

"I was trying to keep the crowds as calm as possible. I knew better than to interfere with the cops, but we all got treated pretty poorly," he said. "I'm not going to place all the blame on the police, but they treated every person here like a criminal."

Tracy said a primary issue was promoters did not obtain the mass gathering permit required by Utah County for events with more than 250 people. To do so would have required at least 30 days notice and approval from the sheriff's office. County officials acknowledged that organizers did receive a health permit regulating such aspects as portable toilets and on-site emergency medical personnel.

Brandon Fullmer, manager of the Uprock Records company that promoted the event, argues that he also obtained the mass gathering permit. He said authorities were denying him a copy of it for proof, but a county official agreed to write a letter verifying it.

"We were not there to start any problems," Fullmer said. "What the cops did was wrong."

Regardless, Utah County authorities defended the raid.

"That's all smoke and mirrors," said County Commissioner Steve White. "They were selling drugs. They were committing illegal acts, and as soon as that happened it doesn't matter what kind of permit they had."

So while Fullmer is consulting his attorney about a possible lawsuit, local law enforcement vow to crack down on the increasingly popular raves.

"There's a legal way to do this, and there's the illegal," Tracy said. "If young folks want to get together and listen to music and dance, we don't care if they go about it the legal way."

Tracy said they are monitoring the Internet, searching for fliers and dispatching helicopters on reconnaissance missions over Utah Valley to locate such gatherings before they expand to thousands of people -- beyond what law enforcement can control.

"If they're going to run one on a Wednesday night, we'll find it," he said. "We will ensure we find them and have them curtailed before they ever get to that point."

Don't Give Your Hurricane Donations to the Red Cross
Establishment charities have history of withholding disaster funds

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | September 1 2005

As the aftermath of hurricane Katrina continues to wreak mayhem and havoc amid reports of mass looting, shooting at rescue helicopters, rapes and murders, establishment media organs are promoting the Red Cross as a worthy organization to give donations to.

The biggest website in the world, Yahoo.com, displays a Red Cross donation link prominently on its front page.

Every time there is a major catastrophe the Red Cross and similar organizations like United Way are given all the media attention while other charities are left in the shadows. This is not to say that the vast majority of Red Cross workers are not decent people who simply want to help those in need.

But what the media fails consistently to remember in their promotion of the organization is that the Red Cross have been caught time and time again withholding money in the wake of horrible disasters that require immediate release of funds.

The Red Cross, under the Liberty Fund, collected $564 million in donations after 9/11. Months after the event, the Red Cross had distributed only $154 million. The Red Cross' explanation for keeping the majority of the money was that it would be used to help 'fight the war on terror'. To the victims, this meant that the money was going towards bombing broken backed third world countries like Afghanistan and setting up surveillance cameras and expanding the police state in US cities, and not towards helping them rebuild their lives.

Then Red Cross President Dr. Bernadine Healy arrogantly responded when questioned about the withholding of funds by stating, "The Liberty Fund is a war fund. It has evolved into a war fund."

Despite the family members of victims of 9/11 complaining bitterly to a House Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight panel, the issue seemed to be brushed under the carpet and the mud didn't stick.

The Red Cross' scandalous activities reach back far before 9/11.

After the devastating San Francisco earthquake in 1989, the Red Cross passed on only $10 million of the $50 million that had been raised, and banked the rest.

Similar donations after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the Red River flooding in 1997 were also greedily withheld.

Smaller charities that were involved with the 2004 Tsunami relief project went public to say that large charities like Red Cross and United Way were engaged in secret backroom negotiations with each other that meant a large portion of the donation money was purposefully restricted from reaching the most needy areas affected by the disaster.

The history is clear, the Red Cross and other large so-called charities are in actual fact front group collection agencies for the military industrial complex.

Many informed historians have even alleged that the Red Cross was used as a Skull and Bones cover to overthrow The Russian Czar and pave the way for the rise of the Bolsheviks.

Do not give any money to the Red Cross unless you support the expansion of empire abroad and police state at home. Find a smaller trustworthy organization in the local area of New Orleans and make your donation to them.

Mainstream Book Highlights Occult Practices of US Establishment

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | September 4 2005

A new book by an author that had previously scoffed at claims that the US establishment was involved in bizarre occult practices at Bohemian Grove has now released a bestselling book that relates how those same practices evolved over three decades and are still being used today.

Jon Ronson will be known to many readers of this website as the filmmaker who documented Alex Jones' infiltration of Bohemian Grove in July 2000. The program was part of a series called Secret Rulers of the World which aired first in the UK and then multiple times in the US on the Trio Network.

The series was very popular but many felt it was a well edited smear effort made to portray its main subjects as crackpots. This despite the fact that Ronson himself was hotly pursued by Bilderberg security after attempting to research that organization's 1999 meeting in Sintra Portugal.

In the Bohemian Grove episode, Ronson took a relativistic stance on the fact that world leaders like to dress up in Ku Klux Klan style hooded robes and make mock sacrifices once a year in secret.

However, Ronson's new book, Men Who Like to State at Goats, details how, "In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known accepted military practice - and indeed, the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. Entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries, they were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting the War on Terror. 'The men who stare at goats' reveals extraordinary - and very nutty - national secrets at the core of George W Bush's War on Terror."

The book promo continues,

"With first-hand access to the leading players in the story, Ronson traces the evolution of these bizarre activities over the past three decades, and sees how it is alive today within US Homeland Security and post-war Iraq. Why are they blasting Iraqi prisoners-of-war with the theme tune to Barney the Purple Dinosaur? Why have 100 de-bleated goats been secretly placed inside the Special Forces command centre at Fort Bragg, North Carolina? How was the US Military associated with the mysterious mass-suicide of a strange cult from San Diego? 'The men who stare at goats' answers these, and many more, questions."

Two excerpts from the book are carried on the Guardian website here and here.

We are very supportive of the fact that Ronson has presented these bizarre activities as entirely factual. We hope that this goes some way to helping others understand that the US establishment engages in the most outlandish activities while claiming to be headed up by a straight laced no nonsense Christian conservative like George Bush and his administration.
