Again, the excellent Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould continue their groundbreaking presentation and analysis of the complex and difficult situation in AfPak, the region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The murder of Hamid Karzai’s brother, who was apparently the local druglord (heroin), comes within a few weeks of the bin Laden one. It seems that, one by one, the Americans and/or their allies are getting rid of bad assets in the region. Have the bin Ladens and the Karzais of this world went astray of the agendas that were set for them? It certainly seems so. Thank you Paul and Elizabeth for the great job that you do for us.

Interview with Russ Baker on the Peter B. Collins Show

Listen to this terrific interview with Russ Baker, author of Family of Secrets and founder of WhoWhatWhy.com, a website dedicated to the pursuit of true, unimpaired and non-co-opted investigative journalism. Peter B. Collins receives him in his « secret » studio for a friendly conversation on subjects related to his work as a « forensic journalist ». Among different topics, the bin Laden case gets their immediate attention as Baker explores various issues and questions that he has concerning the timing, framing, engineering and crafting of the operation, and the communication or rhetorical job that was done by the Administration afterwards. For example, Baker notes that as the official version kept changing constantly, it was a clear sign that the story was in fact scripted, which opens many options in terms of what really happened in the first place. The DNA test, the burial at sea, the behavior of bin Laden when the operation occured, the behavior of women in the compound and several other elements lead Baker to raise serious doubts concerning the veracity of what we are being told by Washington. You know that I, for myself, was a skeptic form the start, as you may have read it in this earlier post written 48 hours after the events. Also, Baker proves again that he is a great person to have on board for a radio host and Collins, as usual, offers all the space his guest needs to share with us his inner thoughts, in this case on the killing of bin Laden, which resumes itself in the end to be one of the most important PSYOPS in decades. Baker also touches on the subject of private Bradley Manning, the man who allegedly dumped a series of files to the WikiLeaks website. Baker comments on Manning in a way to make us realize that he is not really a whistleblower, like other observers have also said in recent past. I also propose to you a series of articles by Baker posted on WhoWhatWhy, that deal with the bin Laden execution to help you continue your study.

Pepe Escobar on the Boiling Frogs: more insights about the Middle East uprisings

In this interview with the Boiling Frogs, Asia Times reporter and Real News Network Pepe Escobar shares his observations on the uprisings in the Middle East, more specifically on countries such as Libya, Egypt, Bahrain and Tunisia. He puts into context the various roles played by western powers and interests such as France, Britain and NATO in the development in these popular revolts. In Libya in particular, Gaddafi was apparently beginning to make deals with the Chinese, and that might have created a certain uneasiness in high places in western countries. The different points he makes present a considerable amount of overlap with Dave Emory‘s assessment of the situation. This interview is certainly a good complement to what Emory has already found on the subject. In the second part of it, he then comments on the ever changing U.S. official version of the operation that killed bin Laden, taking the opportunity there to look more closely at specific details of a narrative that doesn’t seem to make sens on a military standpoint. In his opinion, and I agree with him, the operation was a PSYOPS to begin with. Read my earlier post to see how I presented it then, and this one also, when we learned that Bradley Manning might have blown the operation in advance. Why was it conducted? Because in the geo-political theater of the 21st century, Pakistan seems to be getting more and more cosy with China and Russia, and that could explain the raid on the compound. Check this post as well, where I presented the situation in that area of the world as a stage for the everlasting Anglo-Afghan War inspired by Brzezinski’s Grand Chessboard game. Escobar touches several other points that are worth taking into consideration.

However, I have a critical observation to make though. His position on Israel is flawed. But in the so-called progressive sector, he is definitely not alone in that situation. In fact, the vast majority of « progressives » fall into that category, as they blame Israel for all kinds of things that are not true or inaccurate. At the very end of the interview, as he and the Boiling Frogs’s hosts wrap up, he then comments on Obama’s proposal to Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, for a possible resolution of the conflict. Obama’s proposal presents the creation of a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders, in other terms with the frontiers that were in usage before the Six-Day War. The pre-1967 borders are not defensible. You don’t need a Ph.D. in military operations to understand that. Any state, to be able to defend its borders needs some kind of natural obstacles such as mountains, forests, sea, lake, river, ravine, etc. Because otherwise, it is just impossible to defend them on open territory. Such borders are possible in the case of countries that are really close in terms of policy, regime, agenda, etc, like Canada and the U.S., and even with those two, there are problems. So you can imagine that between countries that are enemies to one another, that don’t share the same culture, religion, ideology, interests, etc, it can’t be acceptable. Furthermore, a lot of groups, governments, activists and religious extremists are dedicated to the destruction of Israel, and they would just jump on the occasion to finalize what they have begun for so many years. With the pre-1967 borders, it opens the doors for the mass extermination of the Israelis and the disappearance of Israel as a country. But Escopar is just another « progressive » who thinks that it is a good idea to implement those frontiers, while Netanyahu is not stupid and will never accept that.

Here is this interview with the Boiling Frogs. Following, there is an excellent post by Sibel Edmonds exploring several leads in trying to explain the timing of the bin Laden operation. Again, the idea is presented that the U.S.-Pakistani relationship has been disintegrating for several years and that, on the opposite, a much better one is being developped between Pakistan and China.

New development on Osama bin Laden execution: Bradley Manning might have blown the operation

Excellent researcher and anti-fascist resistant Dave Emory presented part of a blog post published on Extreme Liberal’s blog. The post contains an extract from a series of online chats between Bradley Manning and former hacker Adrian Lamo. In this series, originally published it is entirety on Wired.com, we see that Manning presented himself to Adrian Lamo as the source not only of the Gitmo files but also of several other key documents that WikiLeaks obtained. So for the first time, Manning is specifically named as a source for WikiLeaks. But not only that. Among all of the files, another document shows that there is evidence that the State Department or some intelligence agency within the american government might have known where bin Laden was, since 2003. In other terms, because Manning might have inadvertently blown the operation that was coming, god knows when, to crack down on bin Laden in Abbottabad, the Administration was rushed to do it out of fear that he would otherwise escape. WikiLeaks began releasing the Gitmo files on April 24th 2011 and the operation on bin Laden’s hideout was conducted on May 1st. It is difficult not to see a connection. Read my earlier post to see how I assed the situation 48 hours after the event.

I hope you are not one of those who believe that Bradley Manning is really a « whistleblower ». On that I agree with Emory and Extreme Liberal’s blog webmaster. If there is a thing on Earth that Manning is not, it is being that. Why? Because a whistleblower will denounce a situation closely related to his/her professional skills and area of expertise, not on thousands of issues disconnected to one another. Manning released a thumbnail disc that contains thousands of files. We can all assume that he didn’t read the vast majority of them, for reasons of time to start with. So what was his goal in doing that? A few possibilities that we can identify in trying to explain his strange behavior is that he is a mind-control job, he is being manipulated, he has been promissed a chunk of cash…or he is just stupid, immature and crazy. Make your pick. Because it is obvious that he would get in jail for such behavior. Believe me folks, he is not a whistleblower. His actions play into a broader agenda of destabilization of the liberal and progressive political class, represented in the United States by the Democratic Party. The files that he « whistleblowned » will just help the enemies of democracy to break down a world that is already pretty much weakened by the incessant attacks of fascists, nazis and all kinds of groups of the Extreme-Right, with the help of their Extreme-Left and Islamist puppets. Folks, I am telling you: don’t bite into the Bradley Manning story and the WikiLeaks deception. Stay focus on democracy, on progressive and liberal values and on the political way of the Center. The truth lies in the Center and that Center shall set you free.

Osama bin Laden: The most wanted teddy bear

This CNN video is so hilarious. We see our most wanted bogeyman in a studio somewhere recording a message, probably to scare the poor chickens that we are. Interestingly enough, the sound has been cut off. What are they trying to prevent us from hearing? Anyway, in this video, we see that person, who supposed to be a bogeyman, a dangerous, fierce, agressive and violent individual, behaving so diligently and softly. Honestly, he looks rather like a comedian, asked to shoot his lines for the camera. You see him looking off the camera, on the sides, as if he was seeking the approval of somebody or a director in the room. Observe him. Is he really the dangerous bogeyman that was sold to us? He seems so harmless, benign, almost like somebody you would take into your arms to console… Frankly, they could have found somebody else to serve as the number one bogeyman on Earth. It’s difficult to take him seriously with these pictures. But, hey, what do I know! I’m just a blogger.

Yeah, my favorite Big Mouth strikes back. It is always a pleasure to hear a brave and intelligent man speaks his mind, so here he is again on what used to be the most wanted bogeyman on Earth. He suggests a very interesting lead for future investigations though, and that is that all the money which the United States is giving to Pakistan is, in fact, protection money to « convince » them not to drop the bomb on anyone, and not on the U.S. Nevertheless, it didn’t stop local A.Q. Khan network to sell reactor parts to North Korea, Iran and Libya… So maybe it wasn’t enough… It definitely deserves further study, I think.

The symbolic execution of Osama bin Laden: a reverse 9/11 and the burial of the most wanted bogeyman

Well, it was due to happen one day or another. After all, its hard to have a bogeyman walking around free and not catch him. According to the official version, bin Laden has been hiding in a compound in Pakistan for years. The CIA, with the help of a courier who had access to the building, located him. So the President gave the order for the assault. After the execution, his body was allegedly transported to the sea where he was given to it in respect, or so we are told, to Islamic practices.

Well…I have a few questions, as many of us have. First, how come that the most well financed and organized intelligence agency in the world, or at least supposedly, the CIA, can’t find Osama bin Laden immediately after 9/11? How come it took them 10 years before being able to locate him? In an earlier post, I presented you a few extracts of one of late William Cooper‘s radio show The Hour of the Time. In that show, Cooper makes the case that a CNN reporter was able to find Osama bin Laden in June 2001, with a camera crew, but that the CIA couldn’t find him nevertheless, with all their resources. Don’t you find it strange? And don’t you find it strange too that the CIA, knowing at that point where bin Laden was, didn’t do anything to capture him before 9/11? The CNN reporter could have led the CIA to bin Laden’s cache, case closed. But apparently, it was not that important to catch bin Laden after all. Second, if in fact he was hiding in Pakistan, what is the level of involvement of the Pakistani government, military or intelligence service in this? If that’s the case, they were definitely playing behind our backs, but that would be consistent with the ISI modus operandi anyway. Third, the Americans can’t produce the body… How convenient. Also, the Administration said it can’t produce any photographs of bin Laden’s body because these might be too graphic and bloody and could thus inflame reactions in the Muslim world. Again, how convenient. No body, no photos. In a court of law, these proceedings would be turn down. Any violent death and its cause has to be authenticated by a coroner. The Special Forces proceeded with a burial at sea, supposedly to be in conformity with Islamic Law. It made the body disappear however, so it is impossible for anyone to confirm and authentify the identity and death of the world’s most famous bogeyman. A few reactions came already from the Muslim world saying that this burial at sea was not at all in conformity with Islamic Law. 2000 years ago, the body of Jesus was snatched and now it is bin Laden’s body that is. Are they trying to tell us something here? Fourth, the Administration said that a DNA test was performed and that bin Laden’s identity was confirmed at 99,9%. However, according to a Canadian doctor in my area, apparently a DNA test takes 3 weeks to complete. So? How come they managed to have the results in just a few hours or minutes after the « death »?

William Cooper predicts 9/11 and comments on the Oklahoma City bombing and Osama bin Laden

Here is a series of radio show extracts about William Cooper. Cooper was a conservative, in the true sense of the word. He didn’t want the country of which he was a citizen, to change into something else. He believed that a shift was in preparation that would turn the United States into a socialist country, and that this would pave the way for a One World totalitarian utopian government. On that I disagree with him. The tendency we are witnessing on the earth today is definitely not socialist, but rather fascist. Nevertheless, he was accurate in his prediction of 9/11. 9/11 is the reverse of the 9th of November, 11/9, which is a very important date in nazi mythology.

In this series, he comments on a few elements that, put together, provide a good picture of the situation. First, a CNN reporter was capable of locating and interviewing Osama bin Laden in June 2001, while all the intelligence agencies in the world couldn’t locate him. That sounds impossible to anyone with a brillant mind. He does say that, according to him, this interview is the sign that something bad would happen in the U.S. very soon. He also speaks about the Oklahoma City bombing that couldn’t have been perpetrated by the two twits that were presented to the public. The fact that the attack happened on the eve of Hitler’s birthday, on April 19th, is certainly the indication that it is the Third Reich that is behind it. The fourth extract features a caller who is trying to blame this slow descent into fascism or totalitarianism, on the Jews. Again, that is another person who thinks that the Jews are to be blamed for everything and that they control the media, etc. Cooper tries to make him understand how the culture of corporations works. I am not sure that everything he says is accurate but again it is certainly a better position that trying to smear the Jews.

There is a lot of work to be done about the perceptions, especially on the Jews. It is easier to blame them than to face reality as it is. We are governed by mad men. We are descending back into barbarism, because our leaders have decided that a totalitarian utopian society was better, for them, than a society based on the principles of the Enlightment. That’s our predicament. For now, the best we can do, for those of us who are aware of that, is to protect ourselves and behave with intelligence and judgement. If we can’t save our brothers and sisters, at least maybe we can save ourselves.
