US-UK Intel Readies Turkestan Islamic Terror Gambit For Beijing Olympics

2nd August, 2008
Washington, August 1, 2008 Reliable Australian intelligence sources have issued a warning that US-UK intelligence is attempting to mount a false flag terror operation against China, quite possibly featuring a gaggle of patsies calling themselves the “Turkestan Islamic Party,” at the upcoming Beijing Olympics, where the eyes of the world will be concentrated next week. The goal of the operation will be to duplicate or surpass the bloodbaths the Mexico City 1968 and/or Munich 1972 summer games. Commandant Seyfullah of the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) claims in a video tirade displayed by a US company’s website to represent the Turkish Moslems of Sinkiang province or Chinese Turkestan, where the Anglo-Americans have long sponsored an abortive separatist movement. Patsy leader Seyfullah and his Turkestan Islamic Party have been indirectly mentioned twice over the past two years by Ayman Zawahiri, the veteran British agent who functions as the real leader of “al Qaeda,” in effect sheep- dipping the little known TIP in the vast pool of “al Qaeda” notoriety. If the planned operation actually takes place, the current Chinese leadership will in the hopes of the plotters — loose face and forfeit the mandate of heaven, the prerequisites for continued rule. This could then be the prelude to the installation of a new Chinese government far less committed to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and to cooperation with Russia. It might be a first step towards splitting the SCO and turning Beijing against Moscow, which is the current goal of Anglo-American grand strategy.

Source: British Territory Used for US Terrorism Interrogation
Posted by seumasach on August 2, 2008
The idea that Diego Garcia is being used for torture is perfectly credible, but that the British authorities don’t know about it is enormously less so. On past form one would expect the British authorities to be collaborating fully in Bush’s programme of torture.

Almost two years have passed since President George W. Bush publicly acknowledged the existence of a CIA program in which agency-leased aircraft fly terrorism suspects between secret prisons and interrogation sites around the world. “This program has helped us to take potential mass murderers off the streets before they have a chance to kill,” the President said on Sept. 6, 2006. Since that admission, the White House has declined to elaborate or comment further on the program’s specifics, although multiple reports have surfaced regarding the existence of secret facilities in Poland and Romania.

‘Air Surge’ for Iraq?
Posted by seumasach on August 2, 2008
It can’t be stressed too much that, unable to win hearts and minds in Iraq, or indeed, anywhere, the projection of Anglo-American power consists, in the last analysis, of bombing and nothing but bombing. So its not just a question of “Troops out of Iraq” but “Stop the Bombing of Iraq”, a campaign of destruction and genocide which has been going on for not far short of 20 years.

31st July, 2008
The U.S. Air Force’s Iraq boss has drawn up plans to boost air power even as ground troops withdraw from the country, according to The New York Times:
The commander, Lt. Gen. Gary North, described a future approach that would rely on jet fighters and bombers to help ensure the safety of American troops who remain behind to train Iraqis as the number of allied ground combat troops decreased.
It’s not a new strategy. As the British gradually reduce their ground forces in southern Iraq, their aviation forces in the region have held the line.
But there’s a downside to the air-power approach. A recent “aviation surge” in Afghanistan has caused a spike in civilian casualties and sparked a major row between Kabul and Washington. Might a similar surge in Iraq do the same?

Vital unresolved anthrax questions and ABC News
Posted by seumasach on August 2, 2008
Of course, the fact that these attacks had nothing to do with “Al-Queda” or Steven Hatfill doesn’t mean we should give credence to claims that Ivins was responsible.
Glen Greenwald
1st August
The FBI’s lead suspect in the September, 2001 anthrax attacks — Bruce E. Ivins — died Tuesday night, apparently by suicide, just as the Justice Department was about to charge him with responsibility for the attacks. For the last 18 years, Ivins was a top anthrax researcher at the U.S. Government’s biological weapons research laboratories at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, where he was one of the most elite government anthrax scientists on the research team at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID).

Mass exodus warning to Brown
Posted by smeddum on August 1, 2008
Tuesday, July 29, 2008 Metro
Ten MPs are ready to quit to force Gordon Brown to resign, it is claimed.
There has been continued speculation about plots to oust him.
But the new bombshell threat was made to the Evening Standard newspaper.
A former minister told the newspaper: “I have spoken to several members of the Government who say they will resign if it proves necessary to provoke a change of leader before it is too late. There are probably at least 10.”
If true, it could mean the prime minister faces a mass resignation before Labour’s conference in September. Read the rest of this entry »

I interviewed a woman who had lost eight members of her family, including six children to a US bomb – but mass murder in Afghanistan isn’t news
On 12 July, the Times devoted two pages to Afghanistan. It was mostly a complaint about the heat. The reporter, Magnus Linklater, described in detail his discomfort and how he had needed to be sprayed with iced water. He also described the “high drama” and “meticulously practised routine” of evacuating another overheated journalist. For her US Marine rescuers, wrote Linklater, “saving a life took precedence over [their] security”. Alongside this was a report whose final paragraph offered the only mention that “47 civilians, most of them women and children, were killed when a US aircraft bombed a wedding party in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday”.

New trend in christianity, with anti-imperialist edge.
Christians in full rebellion Alibi.com
By Jim Scarantino

Monks Chris Haw and Shane Claiborne urge Christians to rebel against the imperial state. You wouldn’t peg Chris Haw and Shane Claiborne as monks. Haw carries himself like a rock climber. Claiborne sports dreadlocks and quotes St. Francis and Gandhi with a hillbilly twang.
Yet Haw and Claiborne are indeed monks. These adherents of what is called New Monasticism live simply among the poor and forgotten at the “political fringes of empire.” Haw moved to the inner city of Camden, N.J. Claiborne lives across the Delaware River in the depressed Kensington section of Philadelphia. Read the rest of this entry »

Rand study recommends new counterterrorism strategy
Posted by smeddum on August 1, 2008
The bogus “war on terror” is near its end; we are seeing a return to pre 9/11 State procedures
POSTED JULY 29, 3:08 PM
A new Pentagon sponsored Rand Corporation report concludes U.S. efforts to undermine al Qaeda have been, largely, unsuccessful and recommends a new strategy against the group.
In looking at how other terrorist groups have ended, the RAND study found that most terrorist groups end either because they join the political process, or because local police and intelligence efforts arrest or kill key members. Police and intelligence agencies, rather than the military, should be the tip of the spear against al Qaida in most of the world, and the United States should abandon the use of the phrase “war on terrorism,” researchers concluded.
