BLACK MAGIC IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST MOSLEM COUNTRY

2012-01-16T03:27:00.000-08:00

Indonesia

Black magic has long existed in the USA and Europe.

On 14 January 2012 the Sydney Morning Herald reports on Indonesia's fixation with black magic

During the 2009 election campaign, Indonesian President Susilo Yudhoyono talked of black magic forces being used against him and his staff.

''Many are practising black magic. Indeed, I and my family can feel it,'' he said.

''It's extraordinary. Many kinds of methods are used. I have come to the conclusion that only prayers can defeat black magic attacks.''

Former president Megawati Sukarnoputri consulted magic men, called dukuns (pronounced dookoons).

Former president Abdurrahman Wahid, a Moslem cleric, consulted dukuns.

He called upon djinns, non physical beings sometimes called genies, to protect him and his political party.

Wahid meditated at the tomb of an Islamic saint before sacking two ministers.

Former president Suharto had a collection of 'magic' daggers, or kris, believed to be the source of his power.

The world's largest Islamic organisation, Indonesia's Nahdlatul Ulama, which has about 30 million members, still supports the old Indonesian magical-mystical beliefs.

Indonesia

Ki Kusumo, a top Indonesian paranormal, has talked of the bodies of dead children being used in magic ceremonies.

He says that dead virgin teenage girls are particularly sought after and ''families have to guard the tomb for 40 days'' after burial.

He says he knows of babies born on an auspicious day being kidnapped and beheaded.

''The heads are buried in the front of the person's house. They believe, this way, they will become wealthy.''

There are good dukuns and bad dukuns.

Dukun santet, who use black magic, are hired to bring bad luck to rivals in love, business and politics.

Ki Joko Bodo is one of Indonesia's most famous dukuns.

He has a palatial home in Jakarta, a Mercedes-Benz and a Jaguar.

Reportedly, he gives blessings to officials from the tax office, attorney-general's department and ministry of industry.

Reportedly, senior figures from the government, military and police are among his most loyal clients.

Indonesia

In some villages, Islamic clerics also act as dukuns.

Ki Zukud is a dukun who runs an Islamic boarding school.

He has a kris (dagger) to bring about prosperity, and another to ward off black magic.

''There is so much black magic everywhere,'' he says.

He uses a mixture of Koranic verses and Javanese mantras to contact the supernatural.

He says that the nine saints who brought Islam to Indonesia in the 14th and 15th centuries used Javanese beliefs and stories to spread Islam.

Indonesia

What about the Ninjas in Situbondo?

Peter Dale Scott has written about the Ninjas at - http://www.fair.org/extra/9901/java.html

In late 1998, black-clad ninjas murdered hundreds of innocent people in East Java, in Indonesia.

Some of the victims were mentally handicapped youths, easy targets. (Murder in Java: Psychological warfare and the New York Times)

Bloody decapitated heads were paraded around the streets.

Reportedly, the killings were part of a psychological terror campaign ( like that waged in 1965 by the US-advised Indonesian Army, when at least 500,000 civilians were killed.)

In 1998, as in 1965, there was the distribution of death lists to terrify the public, the arrival of assassins in trucks, mutilation of corpses and display of body parts in public places.

Some observers believed that a faction of the US-trained army was fomenting terror to justify a military crackdown.

Army members were arrested by local authorities for the killings, and then mysteriously released.

Pro-democracy activists in Jakarta pointed out that'Ninja' is the term popularly used to designate the Army Special Forces (Kopassus) in disguise.

"The U.S.-trained Kopassus Special Forces were the preferred assets of the CIA and Pentagon."

Indonesia

Reportedly there are people who can shape shift.

The following is from "Black Magic in Indonesia" at the Lonely Planet travel forum

Tales of “Suanggis" crop up in East Nusa Tenggara.

In Alor people will tell you that "most" of the inhabitants of the east of the island are suanggi - people who can shape shift, steal souls etc.

In Sumba it's even more disturbing. In any community there will be one or two families who are regarded as being "suanggi".

In Sumba too suanggis are said to shape-shift; they are also said to have vampire tendencies, and to particularly enjoy the blood of new-born infants.

Pregnant women are said to be at great risk. Almost any illness or misfortune is likely to be blamed on the suanggis.

What is rather disturbing is that rather than considering these things as shadowy, ghost-like figures of the forest, real people, real families are regarded as suanggi by large numbers of their neighbours.

I was told that the first thing parents will do before giving consent for their child to marry is to check that the prospective partner is not from a suanggi family.

Bali too seems utterly obsessed with magic, both black and white, and people say that this fixation, rather than fading, has increased in recent years.

Once again, illness or misfortune is very likely to be blamed on malicious magic, and dukuns often have more respect than medical doctors.

One thing I've noticed talking to people about these things is that it's always the "people on the next island" who are reputed to have the strongest magic: in Bali many people are in awe of the skills of people from Lombok; in Lombok people will tell you Bima on Sumbawa has weird flying ninjas; and throughout non-Muslim areas you're recommended to "go to the Muslims" for particularly powerful black magic...

I do think it's worth bearing in mind that though this may all seem charmingly interesting from a cultural-tourism perspective, it does have a very dark side - vigilante killings of alleged practitioners of black magic do happen; this is a not entirely unusual occurrence in Sumba.

In Bali there can be real conflict caused by suspicion of magic - even among competing shopkeepers (a successful warung-owner must have either got special powers for himself from a dukun, or worse still, had a curse put on his rivals).

In the UK, Boy, 14, watched his brother tortured and then drowned in bath for being a witch...

ISRAEL LOVES ISLAMISTS

2011-12-16T09:41:00.000-08:00

The old Egypt

Israel, the USA and NATO want Moslem countries to be backward, weak and divided.

Israel has always seen Egypt as its main Arab enemy.

Israel is now happy.

Egypt has now voted for the Islamists.

Cairo kids by Shek Graham

The Islamists will ensure that Egypt loses tourists and inward investment.

The Islamists will ensure that the country is deeply divided - Islamists against Christians, Islamists against the military, Islamists against liberals, Islamists against Islamists.

Reportedly, the Muslim Brotherhood is run by the CIA and its friends.

(The use of the Muslim Brotherhood by MI6 and the CIA.)

The Muslim Brotherhood was used to topple the Shah in order to try to keep Iran backward.

The new Egypt

On 10 December 2011, The Economist reports on the Islamists everywhere on the rise:

1. In the first round of voting in Egypt:

The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party has won 46% of the seats with 37% of the (party-list) vote.

The Salafist Party of Light, ('Nour' - puritanical extremist Wahhabi) has won 21% of the seats with 24% of the (party-list) vote.

The biggest secular (non religious) party got 10% of the seats.

Mubarak's party was banned.

The turnout was around 59%

'Islamists' work for the spooks

2. Why vote for the Muslim Brotherhood?

They give financial help to widows.

They supply water buffaloes on easy repayment plans to landless peasants.

3. Why vote for the Salafists?

They distribute cut-price food.

They appear on Saudi-funded satellite TV channels.

Some Mubarak supporters voted for the Salafists, to frustrate the Muslim Brotherhood.

A weakened Egypt now provides Israel with a chance to grab the Sinai. Syria had better look out.

4. The Muslim Brotherhood's 80-page manifesto mentions neither Israel nor Palestine.

5. The Salafists want a 'restricted' democracy.

They want to ban alcohol, adopt the veil and segregate the sexes in public.

JEWISH CONTROL OF SAUDI ARABIA

2011-11-17T00:28:00.000-08:00

Haim Weizman (left) and Prince Feisal, 1918

Reportedly, the Saudi monarchs and their Wahhabi religion have Jewish origins.

Wayne Madsen has written about the Jewish connections to Saudi Arabia.

(I Understand and I wish to Continue - The 'DONMEH' (CRYPTO JEWS): House of Saud Connections)

According to Madsen:

The Turkish Ottoman Empire, which included key parts of Saudi Arabia, had lots of crypto-Jews (Jews pretending to be Moslems)

These crypto-Jews (also called Donmeh) have connections to the Saudi royal family and Saudi religion.

The Saudi follow the Wahhabi form of Islam.

Reportedly, the founder of the Saudi Wahhabi sect of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, was a crypto-Jew.

Ali, Kid in Najran - Saudi Arabia, by Eric Lafforgue

An Iraqi intelligence report, dated 2002, and released in 2008 by the US Defense Intelligence Agency, points to the Jewish roots of Wahhab.

The report uses the memoirs of a Mr. Hempher, a British spy who claimed to be an Azeri.

In the mid-18th century, Hempher made contact with Wahhab in order to set up the Wahhabi sect.

Reportedly, the purpose of the Wahhabi sect was to bring about an Arab revolt against the Ottomans and pave the way for a Jewish state in Palestine.

Hempher’s memoirs are recounted by the Ottoman writer Ayyub Sabri Pasha in his 1888 work, 'The Beginning and Spreading of Wahhabism.'

Saudis by Eric Lafforgue

In his book, 'The Dönmeh Jews', D. Mustafa Turan writes that Wahhab's grandfather, Tjen Sulayman, was actually Tjen Shulman, a member of the Jewish community of Basra, Iraq.

In his book, 'The Dönmeh Jews and the Origin of the Saudi Wahhabis', Rifat Salim Kabar reveals that Shulman eventually settled in what is now Saudi Arabia, where his grandson, Muhammad Wahhab, founded the Wahhabi sect of Islam.

The Iraqi intelligence report states that Shulman had been banished from Damascus, Cairo, and Mecca for his 'quackery.'

Ahmed, Saudi kid, by Eric Lafforgue

Abdul Wahhab Ibrahim al-Shammari’s book, 'The Wahhabi Movement: The Truth and Roots', states that King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, the first Saudi monarch, was descended from Mordechai bin Ibrahim bin Moishe, a Jewish merchant from Basra.

According to the book, Moishe changed his name and married off his son to a woman from a Saudi tribe.

The Iraqi intelligence report reveals that the researcher Mohammad Sakher was the subject of a Saudi contract murder hit for his examination into the Sauds’ Jewish roots.

In Said Nasir’s book, 'The History of the Saud Family', it is maintained that in 1943, the Saudi ambassador to Egypt, Abdullah bin Ibrahim al Muffadal, paid Muhammad al Tamami to forge a family tree showing that the Sauds and Wahhabs were one family that descended directly from the Prophet Mohammed.

The Turkish Ottoman Empire, which gradually shrank in size.

At the start of World War I, a Jewish British officer, David Shakespeare, met with Ibn Saud, who was to become the first Saudi monarch.

Shakespeare later led a Saudi army that defeated a tribe opposed to Ibn Saud.

In 1915, Ibn Saud met with the British envoy to the Gulf region, Bracey Cocas.

Cocas made the following offer to Ibn Saud: "I think this is a guarantee for your endurance as it is in the interest of Britain that the Jews have a homeland and existence, and Britain’s interests are, by all means, in your interest."

Ibn Saud replied: "Yes, if my acknowledgement means so much to you, I acknowledge thousand times granting a homeland to the Jews in Palestine or other than Palestine."

Two years later, British Foreign Secretary Lord Balfour, in a letter to Baron Walter Rothschild, a leader of the British Zionists, stated: "His Majesty’s government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people . . ."

The deal to set up Israel had the backing of the Turkish leader Kemal Ataturk, who was reportedly a crypto-Jew.

In 1932, the British put Ibn Saud into power as King of Saudi Arabia.

The Sauds made Wahhabism the state religion of Saudi Arabia.

Turkey - part of the New World Order

Turkey has its 'deep state', a hidden government which has carried out acts of false flag terrorism (Ergenekon).

(Turkey's 'deep state' is said to have worked with Mossad and the CIA, and to have aided in carrying out the 9 11 attacks)

One high-ranking Turkish foreign policy official has said that there are 'deep states' in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria.

These 'deep states' would appear to involve crypto-Jews.

In Libya's new government, the Wahhabis have much influence.

SAUDIS V. IRAN IN IRAQ

2011-10-17T04:49:00.000-07:00

Iran and Saudi Arabia.

The CIA sees Iran as having become too influential in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and perhaps even Libya.

The CIA likes to stir up wars.

Getting Sunnis to fight Shias is part of the policy of 'divide and rule'.

The CIA does not want Iran to become an ally of Saudi Arabia.

According to The Wall Street Journal (on 17 October 2011: Iran - Saudi Arabia tensions are spurring fears of a proxy war):

1. The proxy war would be in Iraq, with Sunni groups (backed by Saudi Arabia) versus Shia groups (backed by Iran).

2. The proxy war might come with the expected withdrawal of at least some U.S. military troops at the end of 2011.

3. Iran opposes the troublemakers in Syria and backs Assad.

But Saudi Arabia blames Iran for supporting the troublemakers in Bahrain and Yemen.

4. Mohsen Sazegara was a founder of the Revolutionary Guards in Iran.

He is now a vocal opponent of Iran's regime.

(The CIA were reportedly allied with the Revolutionary Guards against the Shah)

5. The USA has recently accused the Revolutionary Guards of hiring a Mexican hitman to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington.

6. Dianne Feinstein, the US Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, has said that Obama should put sanctions on Iran's central bank in response to the alleged plot.

7. Arab youth activists, the backbone of the (CIA) pro-democracy uprisings, have accused the Quds Force - the most elite and secretive branch of the Revolutionary Guards - of aiding Assad in its crackdowns against dissent.

8. On 15 October 2011, Associated Press reported that the U.S. could drop its plan to keep thousands of troops in Iraq under a new security deal with the Iraqi government.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki governs over a coalition of Iranian-backed Shiite parties.

Reportedly he can't convince hard-line Shiites to accept an extension of the U.S. military presence.

9. A Saudi official is quoted as saying that "If Washington can't protect our interests in the region, we'll have to do it ourselves."

10. Reportedly, Arab officials believe that the funds and aid from Iran to Iraqi Shiites is even stronger than five years ago.

They also believe support to Iraqi Sunnis from Saudi Arabia can be easily restored.

WILL IRAN AND SAUDI ARABIA BECOME FRIENDS?

ISRAEL-USA NOT WORRIED BY SAUDIS OR TURKS

2011-09-17T12:51:00.000-07:00

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan (Left) attends a CIA-Al-Qaeda meeting in Libya.

The following are all part of the USA's fascist New World Order:

Israel

Turkey

Saudi Arabia.

All three reportedly helped the CIA carry out the 9 11 attacks. (TURKEY ...)

All three have supported the recent CIA coups which have wrecked Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.

And yet, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, unlike Israel and the USA, are said to want a Palestinian state.

Prince Turki al Faisal meeting his Jewish friends in Washington.

On 11 September 2011, there was an article in the New York Times by Saudi Arabia's Prince Turki al Faisal.

He wrote that, if the U.S. vetoed the Palestinian state, "Saudi Arabia would no longer be able to cooperate with America in the same way it historically has.

"(It would) pursue other policies at odds with those of the United States (and) ...might part ways with Washington in Afghanistan and Yemen as well."

This is probably not to be taken seriously.

Prince Turki al Faisdal knows that the CIA toppled Mubarak and that it could easily topple certain Saudi royalty.

The CIA-Mossad have long term plans to balkanise Saudi Arabia. (Saudi Arabia - You are next?)

Turkey may also be balkanised. (TURKEY TO BE SPLIT UP?)

Turkey is to be split up?

On 12 September 2011, M J Rosenberg, Senior Foreign Policy Fellow at the Media Matters Action Network, wrote an article entitled:

The U.S. Abandons Israel

Aangirfan doubts that the USA has abandoned Israel!

According to Rosenberg:

1. The Turkish government has essentially broken relations with Israel.

What Rosenberg does not mention is that Turkey is very much part of the New World Order.

We suspect that either (A) Turkey's leaders are only pretending to 'oppose' Israel, or, (b) Turkey's leaders are about to be toppled.

The USA and Israel 'are joined at the hip'.

Recently Turkey and the USA signed an agreement on the deployment of a US radar as part of a NATO-backed missile defense system.

US officials described this as "the most significant military cooperation between Washington and Ankara since 2003." (Reinforced Turkey-US Military Cooperation)

If Turkey's leaders really do want to make an enemy of Israel, and its friend America, then the CIA-Mossad-NATO can easily change the leadership in Turkey.

The CIA-Mossad-NATO found it so easy to topple Tusisia's Ben Ali, even though Tunisia was, like Turkey, a prosperous and moderate Moslem state.

The CIA-Mossad-NATO can so easily stir up the Kurds, and various others, in order to produce a Turkish Spring.

Since July 2011, over 40 Turkish soldiers have been killed by Kurdish insurgents. (Asia Times Online :: Israel turns tables on Turkey )

The Turkish military, having discovered that the CIA cannot be trusted, and having decided to become more nationalistic, has been drastically weakened by the present Islamist government.

The present Turkish government is reportedly under the influence of the CIA's Islamist Gulen movement. (TOP TURK FRIEND OF ISRAEL, OBAMA AND HEROIN?)

CIA-MOSSAD-NATO coups.

2. According to Rosenberg:

"Ordinary Egyptians (not the government) attacked the Israeli embassy in Cairo, forcing all its personnel to return home to Israel."

What we should note here is that the CIA coup in Egypt has weakened Egypt.

A weakened Egypt is exactly what Israel wants.

3. According to Rosenberg:

"The Palestinians... are taking their case to the United Nations where an overwhelming majority of the General Assembly will endorse Palestinian statehood, even though Israel will still control the territory of the new state."

Exactly.

Israel will still be in control.

4. According to Rosenberg:

In the USA, "politicians always want to give Israel whatever it wants in an election year.

"After all, both the Israeli government and its lobby here make it clear to them that refusal to 'stand with Israel' will cost them mightily in terms of campaign contributions..."

When Obama "tried to push the Israelis to start negotiations ...Israel's monied supporters in America went crazy...

"When Netanyahu told them to get Obama to back down 'to save Israel,' they did.

"AIPAC made sure that every member of Congress knew that they were being 'scored' on the level of their support for Netanyahu. A low score meant closed checkbooks.

"Obama, no less immune to financial threats than a Congressman from Queens, surrendered. Over and over again..."

Exactly.

THE MOSLEMS ALLIED TO WALL STREET

2011-09-03T07:58:00.000-07:00

According to John Loftus, who worked for the US government, the elite in the USA have "invested their money in three mafias: the Bolsheviks, the Nazis and the Wahhabists of Arabia, who came to be known later as the Muslim Brotherhood...

"The Muslim Brotherhood helps the transnational corporations extend their grip on the world."

(John Loftus's America's Nazi Secret lys-dor.com)

When Loftus writes about the elite, he means people like the Rockefellers, the Bushes and the Dulleses.

According to 'Understanding the Octopus', by stevenhager420:

1. American Robber Barons, who had very close ties to British interests, helped put the communists into power in Russia and helped put the Nazis into power in germany.

2. The Robber Barons manufacture wars for profit by secretly controlling both sides of a conflict.

3. John Loftus, who worked at the USA's Justice Department as a prosecutor, explains the system.

For example, Saudi Arabia has been given a royal family friendly with Wall street.

The Saudi's Muslim Brotherhood help make money for the military-industrial complex.

Israel has also been designed to make money for the military-industrial-complex.

~~~

John Loftus has told us about Haroon Rashid Aswat and the London Tube Bombings.

In the first two weeks after the 7 July 2005 London bombings, the UK Police told newspapers that Aswat made some 20 mobile phone calls to two of the suspected bombers, Mohammed Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, one just hours before the blasts. ("Top al-Qaeda Briton called Tube bombers before attack".)

On 20 July 2005, Aswat was arrested in Zambia. Aswat arrived in the UK but the UK police said they were not interested in interviewing Aswat in connection with the London Bombings.

Aswat was sent to the USA. ("UK terror suspects lose extradition battle".)

On July 29, 2005, during an interview on Fox News, a former US prosecutor named John Loftus, asserted that Aswat was a double agent, backed by Britain's MI6.

Loftus claimed that MI6 intervened to protect Aswat while he was trying to evade capture. ("Britain now faces its own blowback: Intelligence interests may thwart the July bombings investigation".)

WILL IRAN AND SAUDI ARABIA BECOME FRIENDS?

2011-08-04T00:42:00.001-07:00

Will Iran and Saudi Arabia become friends?

On 3 August 2011 it was reported that, according to Iranian MP Hossein Sobhaninia:

"Certain Western countries are concerned about the development of a strong relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia."

(West concerned over Tehran-Riyadh strong ties: MP)

"Iran and Saudi Arabia plan to strengthen their relations and clear up misunderstandings, Tehran’s ambassador to Riyadh has said.

"Mohammad Javad Rasouli Mahallati told Saudi newspaper Al-Watan that Iran and Saudi Arabia should make efforts to clear up misunderstandings in order help promote their relations.

"Mahallati added current policies adopted by the officials of the two countries show that there is a positive tendency to resolve current disagreements.

"He went on to say certain countries are trying to fan the flames of current disagreements between Tehran and Riyadh."

(Iran, Saudi Arabia plan to clear up misunderstandings: envoy)

‎"As the United States prepares to withdraw its troops from Iraq to meet a year-end deadline, Iranian-backed Shiite insurgents have stepped up their attacks on U.S. troops while Saudi Arabia has begun to provide assistance to Sunni militias there, according to a report."

('This implies protracted and well-funded irregular warfare')

"Riyadh-Tehran relations are at their worst since the Saudis were funding Saddam Hussein’s legions to mow down Iranian infantry in the 1980s...

"Change in Damascus could upset relations with Tehran, severing its main logistical link to Hezbollah.

"Suddenly, there is the prospect of a Sunni-led Syria to counterbalance the Shia dominion in Baghdad...

"Riyadh has ... reportedly discussed with Washington increasing its crude supplies to China as a way to lure Beijing into reducing its investment in Iran’s energy sector...

"Iran remains resilient and has seen some improvements in its relations with Pakistan and Afghanistan, where US influence is waning..."

Saudi Arabia and Iran are nervous about the CIA coups in North Africa.

On 6 June 2011, Anissa Haddadi, at the International Business Times, asks: Are the Libyan rebels backed by Saudi Arabia or by Iran?.

According to Anissa Haddadi:

1. Obama asked Saudi Arabia to arm the rebels in Libya.

Apparently, Saudi Arabia has not armed the rebels.

2. Saudi Arabia prevented the rebel leaders from reaching Qatar, where they had meetings planned.

3. Iran is sympathetic to the "Islamic awakening" in Libya but opposes the Nato military strikes.

4. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said: "The 'double standard' action of the Western countries in Bahrain and Libya and their silence towards the atrocities of the Zionist regime against the innocent Palestinians shows their contradictory performance in the world."

The supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said: "Iran ... condemns the (NATO) military action in Libya."

USA WANTS COUP IN BAHRAIN

2011-06-05T09:31:00.001-07:00

Saudi troops head into Bahrain, March 2011.

The US government wants change in Bahrain.

According to Elliot Abrams, of the Council on Foreign Relations:

"There will be no justice and no democracy until the royal family is gone."

(Elliott Abrams: Bahrain.)

The ruling family in Bahrain may not survive.

The mainly Shia protestors may yet topple the Sunni al-Khalifa monarchy.

This is important to both Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have helped the Bahrain monarchy to crush dissent.

The Sunnis make up about 40% of the population of Bharain.

On 2 June 2011, The Economist reports ("The loathing persists") on the possibility that Bahrain will become like Iraq.

"The spectre of sectarian bloodletting in the manner of Lebanon and Iraq still frightens many people...

"Some Westerners are packing their bags...

"Banking, which once accounted for over a quarter of Bahrain’s wealth, is searching for safer climes."

The Economist reports (The loathing persists) on the Sunni-Shia divide.

"Teachers arrange 'thank you, Saudi' days in schools.

"The Bahraini king's men have razed dozens of Shia shrines and put up billboards on main roads near Sunni-populated suburbs, depicting nooses dangled over the heads of Shia leaders.

"Hundreds of public-sector Shias have been suspended, to the delight of Sunni immigrants from such places as Pakistan and Bangladesh seeking promotion.

"The Labour Market Regulatory Authority has purged the private sector of Shias suspected of sympathy with the protesters...

"Parliament has been stripped of many of its Shia representatives...

CIA SAFE HOUSE IN ABBOTTABAD

2011-05-04T00:09:00.001-07:00

Did the Pakistan military get too close to a CIA safe house?

Did the Pakistan security services get involved in a fight at the CIA safe house and then discover members of bin Laden's family being housed there?

Did the US military then arrive on the scene to remove the evidence and concoct a story to cover its involvement with al Qaeda?

Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's 2004 autobiography talks about an Al Qaeda (CIA) safe house in Abbottabad. (Musharraf knew of Abbottabad safe house?)

An ISI official told the BBC the compound in Abbottabad where Bin Laden was allegedly killed had been raided in 2003. (Bunny Laden.)

Pakistan’s spy service (ISI) had been sharing information about the Abbottabad compound with the CIA since 2009 and had continued to do so until mid-April. ( Pakistan 'shared information about compound ...‎)

A Cobra helicopter belonging to the pakistan military

According to Pakistani Urdu TV channel Geo News (killed in Abbotabad near Islamabad of Pakistan):

Pakistani intelligence officials said that a Pakistani army helicopter was shot down in Abbottabad and then a search operation was launched by Pakistani forces.

At about 1:20 a.m. local time a Pakistani helicopter was shot down by unknown people in the Sikandarabad area of Abbottabad.

The Pakistani forces launched a search operation in the nearby area and encountered a group of unknown armed people.

An exchange of fire followed between the two sides.

When the exchange of fire ended, the Pakistani forces arrested some Arab women and children as well some other armed people.

Two U.S. helicopters flew to the site and carried away a dead body

Initial reports said that at least one was killed and two others were injured in the crash.

At least two houses were engulfed by the huge fire caused by the crashed chopper.

~~

"The CIA's Larry Mitchell met Osama in an American hospital in 2001"

~~

"U.S. officials have said that Pakistani officials were not told about the early morning helicopter raid until the strike team had killed Bin Laden and had returned to Afghanistan from where they took off, citing security reasons.

"Many Pakistanis were surprised at how this was possible, especially when initial reports stated that the choppers took off from a Pakistani air base." (Bunny Laden.)

~~

"I used to go to their house. He had two wives, one spoke Arabic, and the other one spoke Urdu. They had three children, a girl and two boys. They gave me two rabbits."

Bunny Laden.

~~

U.S. officials have listed a number of points that they claim prove the dead man is Osama bin Laden:

DNA taken from 'the brain of Osama bin Laden's sister following her death from brain cancer' was a 99.9 per cent match to that of Osama.

A woman, 'believed to be one of bin Laden's wives', confirmed bin Laden was the dead man.

The CIA said they compared photos of bin Laden's body with known photos of him and were 95 per cent sure that they showed the same man.

The burial from an aircraft carrier in the North Arabian Sea was videotaped aboard the ship, according to a senior defence official.

All sounds like a lot of CIA lies?

aangirfan: MISSING: KIN OF MEN KILLED BY CIA'S DAVIS

A Pakistani police officer says the mansion was owned by an Afghan national called Arshad Khan.

He added: "There were several members of the bin Laden family inside the compound who have been taken into custody.

"One of them was his daughter Safia." (Osama bin Laden: Neighbours shocked to be living next to world's ...)

"Unidentified males who survived were flown from the scene, while four children and two women, including Bin Laden’s daughter Safia, were taken away in an ambulance.

"It is believed his youngest wife Amal al-Sadah was also taken into custody."

~~~

According to Hamid Mir, 3 May 2011 (The Osama bin Laden I knew ):

Osama "was hiding in Abbottabad with one of his wives, a son and a daughter...

"His 10-year-old daughter Safia watched American commandos entering the house, who took away the dead body of her father.

"She confirmed later: 'The Americans dragged the dead body of my father through the stairs'."

Hamid Mir is spouting CIA propaganda?

"White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan told reporters Monday that bin Laden's son Khalid was killed in the raid.

"When the White House released a transcript of Brennan's briefing, it substituted the name of a different son, Hamza...

"Brennan said bin Laden's wife died while shielding the terrorist leader from U.S. gunfire.

"Carney said Tuesday that the wife hadn't died and was merely shot in the leg, although another woman did die. But it wasn't clear that either of them was trying to shield bin Laden.

"Brennan and other officials suggested that bin Laden was holding a gun and even firing at U.S. forces. Carney said Tuesday that bin Laden was unarmed." (White House Struggles to Get Story Right )

2011-04-04T04:14:00.000-07:00

In 2010, Wikileaks disclosed that Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah urged the US to attack Iran, describing Iran as a snake whose head should be cut off without any procrastination.[33]

In April 2011, we read of tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

According to Iran's PressTV, 'Saudi Arabia seeks to annex Kuwait'

According to a top Iranian, Saudi intervention in Bahrain is considered 'occupation'.‎

Some Arabs see an Iranian conspiracy to target Kuwait and Bahrain (GCC countries)

LIBYA, THEN SAUDI ARABIA

2011-03-04T07:33:00.000-08:00

On 20 February 2011, the excellent Land Destroyer blog has a post about Libya conquered in the dark

According to Tony Cartalucci:

1. The purpose of the US-UK coups in North Africa and the Middle East is to "shut down the Middle East", then "shut down China and Russia", then "rule the world."

2. The propaganda against Libya is being run by the mainstream media and 'the US State Department's army of bloggers'.

3. BBC propagandist Jon Leyne told viewers it seemed as if "all of Egypt" had turned out in Tahrir Square.

Best estimates of the crowd range from 50,000 to no more than 100,000 (0.1% of Egypt's population.)

4. "For the BBC and AlJazeera to call the Libyan government's response to arsonists, looters, vandals, and now dangerously and overtly armed mobs, a 'massacre,' seems somewhat disingenuous and very similar to their coverage of the US-backed mobs that took to the streets in Bangkok in May, 2010...

Libyans by Eric Lafforgue

5. "The possibility that violence is also being employed by ... foreign agitators cannot be entirely ruled out.

"The US think-tank Brookings Institute dedicated an entire chapter in their report regarding Iran, to fueling color revolutions and the prospect of using military force to help counter Iranian security forces...

6. "In Bangkok, in 2010, protesters in the street following US-backed, deposed PM Thaksin Shinwatra were bolstered by a shadowy militant group under the command of key protest leaders.

"They instigated a bloodbath on April 10, 2010 in an attempt to force the government to take responsibility and step down.

"The violence and 91 deaths that resulted between Thai security forces and this militant group has laid the foundation of globalist lawyer Robert Amsterdam's attempts to target the Thai government nearly a year later...

7. "The greatest clue that all is not what it seems and that foreign hands are meddling in the affairs of these nations is the fact that paid propagandists like BBC and AlJazeera are clearly taking sides instead of doing their supposed job of objective reporting...

8. "We have already noted beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Egyptian and Tunisian protests are entirely the result of Western meddling, where even the props used by the protesters were 'recycled' from a previous and admitted US-backed plot in Serbia."

Tripoli by giogalluz

Libya's state broadcaster quoted Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the Libyan leader, as saying that armed forces had "bombarded arms depots situated far from populated areas".

He denied that air strikes had taken place in Tripoli and Benghazi.

Libya was once one of the poorest countries in the world.

Is the CIA-NATO using mercenaries to create chaos?

"Many of the mercenaries did not speak Arabic but only French 'making them impossible to reason with.'

"'They don't ask questions - they just shoot live ammunition.'" (From here)

Libya arrests Arab 'network' for destabilising country

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/Libya-arrests-Arab-network-for-destabilising-country/articleshow/7531509.cms#ixzz1Ed3nygnk

TRIPOLI: Libyan authorities have arrested dozens of members of a "network" of Arab nationals allegedly seeking to destabilise the country, the official Jana news agency reported Saturday.

Those detained in several Libyan cities were members of a "foreign network (and were) trained to damage Libya's stability, the safety of its citizens and national unity."

Sources close to the investigation, quoted by the agency, said the group included Tunisian, Egyptian, Sudanese, Palestinian, Syrian and Turkish citizens.

Those arrested were "charged with inciting acts of looting and sabotage, such as burning hospitals, banks, courts, prisons, police stations and offices of the military police, as well as public buildings and private properties, according to plans drawn up earlier," Jana said.

Noting that "certain Libyan cities have been the scene of acts of sabotage and destruction since Tuesday," Jana said the suspects sought to "take arms from police stations and the military police and use them."

"Sources close to the investigation have not ruled out Israel being behind the network," the news agency added.

MUBARAK OPPOSED USA'S 'GREATER MIDDLE EAST'

2011-02-09T01:06:00.000-08:00

The USA wants military and economic control of the 'Greater Middle East' from Morocco to Kazakhstan.

Mubarak opposes the 'Greater Middle East' project.

On 7 February 2011, at Voltairenet, US analyst F. William Engdahl has written: Egypt’s Revolution: Creative Destruction for a 'Greater Middle East’

Among the points made:

1. This is a repeat of the US-orchestrated colour revolutions that hit the former Soviet countries.

The USA is using local opposition leaders coached by the NED (National Endowment for Democracy NED) and other such American organizations.

2. The USA is trying to orchestrate regime changes in Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Jordan and beyond.

3. The process, sometimes called "creative destruction", has been developed by the Pentagon, US intelligence agencies and various think-tanks such as RAND Corporation over decades.

One example was the May 1968 destabilization of De Gaulle in France.

4. The broad outlines of a US strategy are clear.

Egypt’s Mubarak was a major obstacle to the larger US agenda.

Mubarak was opposed to Obama policies on:

A. Iran and how to deal with its nuclear program.

B. Obama policies towards the Persian Gulf states, to Syria, to Lebanon and to the Palestinians.

5. The day of the 'remarkably well-coordinated' demonstrations against Mubarak, key members of the Egyptian military were all in Washington as guests of the Pentagon.

That neutralized the Army.

Khaled Mohamed Saeed died under disputed circumstances in Alexandria in Egypt on June 6, 2010.[1] It was stated by family members that he was "tortured to death for possessing video material that implicates members of the police in a drug deal."[8]

6. The 'New Middle East' project is a strategy to break open the states from Morocco to Afghanistan.

7. In the Egypt revolt, the people involved include:

Twitter-savvy well-trained youth.

Mohammed ElBaradei

The Muslim Brotherhood, whose links to British and American intelligence and freemasonry are widely reported.

A Facebook-based organization calling itself the April 6 Movement.

The Kefaya Movement, the main force behind ElBaradei’s candidature.

8. Kefaya is at the heart of mobilizing the Egyptian protest demonstrations that back ElBaradei’s candidacy.

US defense establishment think-tank the RAND Corporation has conducted a detailed study of Kefaya.

The Kefaya was "sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Department of the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community".

9. RAND has been perfecting techniques of regime change under the name "swarming," the method of deploying mass mobs of digitally-linked youth.

Washington NGOs are being used to advance the Pentagon agenda of global Full Spectrum Dominance.

Egypt by Samer M

10. In May 2009 Hillary Clinton hosted Egyptian activists in Washington under the auspices of Freedom House, another "human rights" Washington-based NGO with a long history of involvement in US-sponsored regime change.

Freedom House and US government-funded regime change NGO, National Endowment for Democracy (NED) are at the heart of the uprisings now sweeping across the Islamic world.

11. The USA's Greater Middle East Project aims to bring Islamic countries from Afghanistan to Morocco under the yoke of the dollar system and all that implies.

12. Washington’s NED (National Endowment for Democracy NED) has been preparing regime destabilizations across North Africa and the Middle East since the 2001-2003 US military invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

The NED website lists Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Sudan.

The NED is active from Tibet to Ukraine, from Venezuela to Tunisia, from Kuwait to Morocco in reshaping the world into a New World Order.

The architect and first head of the NED, Allen Weinstein, told the Washington Post in 1991 that, "a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA".

The NED Board of Directors includes or has included such people as Frank Carlucci and Wesley Clark.

Egypt by Eric Nicholas

13. The Greater Middle East is a blueprint to extend US military control to all of the region.

And to control the oil of the region.

And to control the economies of the region.

The G8 Map of Washington’s Greater Middle East extends right to the borders of China and Russia and West to Morocco.

14. An article in the French Le Monde Diplomatique in April 2004 noted, "besides the Arab countries, it covers Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and Israel."

15. Notably, in 2004 there was vehement opposition from Mubarak of Egypt and from the King of Saudi Arabia.

16. The idea is to have a Greater Middle East under firm US grip as a major control of the capital flows and energy flows of a future China, Russia and the European Union.

The Washington strategy of "creative destruction" is clearly causing sleepless nights not only in the Islamic world but also reportedly in Tel Aviv, and ultimately by now also in Beijing and Moscow and across Central Asia.

"This is an alliance aimed at reshaping the entire region on the basis of freedom and equality, and in order to change and awaken societies that deserve a better life. What is wrong with presenting this message loud and clear?

"Yes, we are [the U.S.'s] allies, and this alliance grows with every crisis in the region. This alliance is based on principles which permit no-one to interfere with our affairs. It is our policy and our reform alone that leads us to join the policy lines of our strongest ally -politically, economically, and socially -for the sake of a society that is free in every sense of the word ...

BIG CHANGES - SAUDI ARABIA TO TUNISIA

2011-01-12T09:06:00.000-08:00

"I believe the People's Republic of China delivered a turn-key nuclear ballistic missile system to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the course of several years beginning no later than December 2003," wrote Jonathan Scherck in his book 'Patriot Lost'. (Website for this) image)

In January 2011, we find violence or serious tensions in the Sudan, Palestine, Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, Algeria, Yemen and Iraq.

Note that the chief friends of the CIA-Mossad, Saudi Arabia and Morocco for example, do not appear on this list.

(Don't relax Saudi Arabia - You are next?)

The Financial Times reports that Internet social networks in US-allied Saudi Arabia are spreading messages of solidarity with Tunisian and Algerian protesters.

Time magazine reports that if the rulers of Tunisia and Algeria fail to line up with the requirements of the US 'war on terror,' Washington might consider replacing them.

What does the Council on Foreign Relations want?

On 7 January 2011, Elliott Abrams wrote (Elliott Abrams: Is Tunisia Next?):

"Tunisia, whose literacy rate has long been the highest in Africa at nearly 80% and whose per capita GDP is about $8,000, should have the ability to sustain a democratic government—once the Ben Ali regime collapses.

"Tunisians are clearly sick of looking at all the giant photos and paintings of Ben Ali that appear on walls, posters, and billboards all over the country...

"If Tunisia can move toward democracy, Algerians and Egyptians and even Libyans will wonder why they cannot."

Tunisia. Do these people look ragged and poor? People Power is usually organised by the security services of one country or another. The CIA-Mossad can infiltrate the police and military and arrange a few shootings.

Libya has accused Mossad and its friends of being behind the riots in Algeria and Tunisia.

(The Libyan foreign security agency has accused Mossad and Morocco.)

It is easy for the CIA-Mossad to topple a president or prime minister.

Philip Agee worked for the CIA and exposed some of its misdeeds in his book Inside the Company: CIA Diary (1975).

What Agee wrote about Ecuador could apply to Tunisia, or Saudi Arabia, or any other country.

Agee wrote that, in Ecuador, almost all political organizations were infiltrated by the CIA, often at the highest levels. (Ecuador Killing Hope WBlum)

Agee explained that, in Ecuador, various CIA front organisations were set up.

Union leaders were taken over by the CIA.

In virtually every department of the Ecuadorean government there were people working for the CIA.

At one point, the CIA could count amongst this number the men who were second and third in power in the country.

CIA agents would bomb churches or right-wing organizations and make it appear to be the work of leftists.

CIA agents would march in left-wing parades displaying signs and shouting slogans of a very provocative anti-military nature.

Tunisia's President Bin Ali has done a lot to build a sound economy.

Living standards are as high as in oil-rich states such as Libya.

"Special funds for micro-credits and employment did wonders in poverty alleviation and job creation in the 1990s and beyond." (Bin Ali - Al Jazeera English)

A comment at the Guardian web site (Tunisia's single-president politics.) sums it up:

"Most Tunisians could not care less who rules them, so long as the eceonomy keeps growing (which it does), the Islamists are kept quiet (which they are), the poverty rate remains very low (4 percent - compared to about 15 percent in the UK and US), the education system provides their kids with a decent education (the best in the Arab world), that they have access to a first-rate health system (free of charge), and that the government does not invade their private lives (prostitution is legal and regulated, for instance; CCTV cameras do not follow your every movement)...

Tunisia by Citizen59

"Opposition groups in Tunisia have next to no support, and nobody has even heard of the bloggers...

"It's what we might call the Singaporean model: economic prosperity and security first, democracy later. Western and Arab liberals may not like it, but Tunisians and Singaporeans do..."

But, the USA and its friends want a Tunisian regime that will allow in lots of American companies, and that will follow the dictates of Washington and Tel Aviv.

And, the USA and Israel like their Arab friends to be backward, feudal and easy to control

Who controls Saudi oil?

On 9 December 2010, at the Economist (Saudi Arabia and China: Looking east) we read that:

In 2009, China bought more Saudi oil than the USA.

The Saudis are buying more Chinese goods than American ones.

More than 50% of Saudi oil now goes to Asia, compared to around 14% to the USA.

The world's biggest oil company is Saudi Aramco.

It now owns refineries in China.

The Chinese are building an aluminium smelter in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia sends students to Chinese universities.

Saudi tourists go shopping in China.

On the other hand, the USA is doing a $60 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia.

And Saudi Arabia apparently likes to keep in with Israel, which is another friend of China.

Prince Bandar is said to be a friend of Mossad, as well as the CIA.

"Lebanon's Al-Manar TV station reported ... that Saudi Arabia was the country that provided the intelligence to Mossad, suggesting that Saudi Secretary General of the National Security Council Prince Bandar bin Sultan played a role in the cooperation between the intelligence agencies." - Arab country 'cooperates with Mossad'

It is difficult to tell how much of the following is true.

Reportedly, "a US citizen enslaved and tortured by King Fahd's nephews was told by a guard in their palace prison the last person to inhabit his cell was a 'US girl child whore slave'." - Saudi princes are the high end buyers in the US child sex slave market

Reportedly, "it is quite well known within the international slave trade that Saudi princes are high end buyers." (13 - Sauduction.com )

Reportedly, "Prince Faisal built a marble palace on Kirby in the posh River Oaks section of Houston.

"He had procurers go to various areas where young people congregated and bring them back to his palace.

"The prince had a continual party fueled by a stream procured teenagers both male and female.

"It was relatively easy for the procurers as the word got out about the sumptuous surroundings of the prince.

"The prince had the best of foods, drink and drugs available every day for his continual party." (13 - Sauduction.com )

Reportedly, "Prince Mohammed bin Fahd, Governor of the Eastern Province has been accused by the Al Saud newsletter of condoning sex slavery within his administered area.

"We have been told Governor Prince Mohammed is an active participant in the child sex rings of the Eastern Province.

"We have been told he has parties for his friends with child sex as the main entertainment.

Governor Prince Mohammed likes Hollywood where there are many boys and girls from which to entice into becoming sex slaves in Saudi Arabia under the ruse of film and modeling contracts.

"These sex slaves are allegedly sold and resold until they are used up whereupon they are helicoptered over Rubal Khali and dumped." (13 - Sauduction.com )

BUSY 'BOOZER' BANDAR IS BACK

2010-11-16T06:40:00.000-08:00

Bandar is 'the son of a former slave girl.' (Foreign Policy)

On 16 November 2010, the Saudi Press Agency reported that Prince Bandar bin Sultan was back in Saudi Arabia.

"Prince Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz, Chief of Saudi Intelligence, welcomed Prince Bandar home at the airport." (Bandar Is Back - By Simon Henderson Foreign Policy)

Around 2008, Prince Bandar bin Sultan disappeared.

There were reports that Bandar, who is believed to be a CIA asset, was in jail. (The Missing Prince « LRB blog)

There were also reports that Bandar was busy masterminding CIA activities in Iraq and funding CIA-linked Sunni Islamist groups in Lebanon in an attempt to undermine Hezbollah. (Bandar Is Back - By Simon Henderson Foreign Policy)

Reportedly, "Secretary-General of the Saudi National Security Council (NSC) Prince Bandar Bin Sultan Bin Abdulaziz is said to be cooperating now with his uncle 2nd Deputy PM and Interior Minister Prince Nayef on issues related to Al-Qaeda (the CIA) in Yemen and the Gulf region." (Prince Bandar Can't Go Home to Aspen.)

Bandar and Bush

Bandar, Saudi ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005, has a $135 million luxury home in Aspen, in the USA. (Prince Bandar Can't Go Home to Aspen.)

Two biographies reported that Bandar has had problems with alcohol and depression.

David B. Ottaway, in The King's Messenger, described Bandar as a "more than occasional drinker."

William Simpson, in The Prince: The Secret Story of the World's Most Intriguing Royal, reported that Bandar, in the mid-1990s, suffered his "first period of full-blown depression."

Reportedly, Bandar recently underwent two operations at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and then spent time convalescing in Morocco. (Bandar Is Back - By Simon Henderson Foreign Policy)

Bandar may be back to help with the problem of the succession.

Who will be king after Abdullah, and who will be the king after that?

Bandar is said to be talented at deal making. (Bandar Is Back - By Simon Henderson Foreign Policy)

King Abdullah is 87 and his designated successor, Crown Prince Sultan, is 86.

The next in line is Prince Nayef, 77, the minister of interior.

Nayef publicly claimed the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Jews. (Bandar Is Back - By Simon Henderson Foreign Policy)

The succession will likely soon pass to the younger generation.

Which branch of the Saud family will emerge on top?

According to sources within the royal family (Bandar Is Back - By Simon Henderson Foreign Policy):

The foreign-minister position will go to Turki al-Faisal, 65.

Prince Turki was the Saudi intelligence chief until 2001.

Khalid

Turki's 69-year-old brother Khalid "will most likely emerge as a future king." (Bandar Is Back - By Simon Henderson Foreign Policy)

Khalid is a friend of Britain's Prince Charles.

Prince Nayef is expected to be made crown prince upon Sultan's death or even before.

But Nayef is said to be still recovering from cancer.

THE SAUDIS AND 9 11

2010-10-18T23:48:00.000-07:00

Prince Bandar and Bush

On 29 June 2009, the US Supreme Court decided not to hear a case brought by families of 9/11 victims against Saudi Arabia, four members of the Saudi royal family, a Saudi bank and a charity.

US Supreme Court declines to hear case of 9/11 families

The Obama regime supported the Saudi monarchs, who were accused of financially supporting people involved in the 9-11 2001 attacks.

The family members claim that Saudi princes contributed to charities that funded Al Qaeda (Al CIAda) and the 9/11 'hijackers'.

In 2008, a court in Manhattan ruled that the Saudis were protected under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

The US Justice Department is determined to prevent the release of documents collected by lawyers for the families.

These documents, according to a New York Times report, “provide new evidence of extensive financial support for Al Qaeda and other extremist groups by members of the Saudi royal family.”

The US government has had copies of the documents destroyed and has sought to prevent judges from seeing them.

Nawaf al-Hamzi and Khalid al-Mihdhar were two Saudi nationals who were reportedly aboard planes that crashed on 9/11.

They were known by US intelligence to be members of Al Qaeda at least since 1999.

The two were allowed into the US, and were found accommodation with the help of a Saudi intelligence agent (Omar al-Bayoumi) and, later, an FBI asset (Abdussattar Shaikh).

Reportedly, Al-Bayoumi received financing from Princess Haifa, the wife of the Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar.

"Between April 1998 and May 2002, some $51-73,000 in checks and cashier's checks were provided by the Saudi Ambassador to the United States and his wife to two families in southern California, who in turn bankrolled at least two of the 9/11 hijackers." (Prince Bandar and 9/11)

It is assumed by many that the top Saudis carry out the wishes of the CIA.

Muslim Brotherhood, reportedly financed by the CIA

Prince Bandar is said to be a friend of Mossad.

"Lebanon's Al-Manar TV station reported ... that Saudi Arabia was the country that provided the intelligence to Mossad, suggesting that Saudi Secretary General of the National Security Council Prince Bandar bin Sultan played a role in the cooperation between the intelligence agencies." - Arab country 'cooperates with Mossad'

Prince Bandar and Bush

Prince Bandar has a 56,000-square-foot mansion in Aspen, Colorado.

The palatial vacation home, called Hala Ranch, is larger than the White House.

From P II: An American Pinay Circle, we learn:

"The early 1970s also brought Saudis recruited by the CIA to train at American military bases, including Prince Bandar bin Sultan.

"Bandar has long been an ally, if not an asset, of the CIA.

"When DCI William Casey wanted a cell of alleged terrorists killed, King Fahd sent Bandar to Langley to make the arrangements. The plan backfired when the subsequent car bombing took
down an apartment building near Beirut, killing 80 innocent civilians.

"After September 11, 2001, Bandar would fall under suspicion when it was discovered that two of the terrorists involved were found to have received financing from the Prince.

"Bandar was trained at Ellington AFB near Houston. (Source: Lois Battuello)...

"The CIA funded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1977, and trained Mujahadin to support Hekmatyar of the Brotherhood in Afghanistan.

"The fundamentalism-happy Muslim Brothers have served the CIA operationally for some 40 years, an arrangement rubber-stamped by Allen Dulles, Frank Wisner and Kermit Roosevelt.

"Airline hijacker Mohammed Atta was ID'd as a Muslim Brother in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times shortly after the jet attacks on the World Trade Center. So were Khalid Shaik Mohammed and Ramzi Yousef..."

Bandar's US Mansion

According to Wikipedia, Bandar helped negotiate the 1985 Al Yamamah deal, a series of massive arms sales by the United Kingdom to Saudi Arabia worth GB£40 billion (US$80 billion), including the sale of more than 100 warplanes.

After the deal was signed, British arms manufacturer British Aerospace (now BAE Systems) allegedly funnelled secret payments of at least GB£1 billion (US$2 billion) into two Saudi embassy accounts in Washington, in yearly instalments of up to GB£120 million (US$240 million) over at least 10 years.

Bandar allegedly took money for personal use out of the accounts, as the purpose of one of the accounts was to pay the operating expenses of the prince's private Airbus A340.

According to investigators, there was "no distinction between the accounts of the embassy, or official government accounts [...], and the accounts of the royal family."

The payments were discovered during a Serious Fraud Office investigation, which was stopped in December 2006 by attorney general Lord Goldsmith.[7] [8]

On 15 February 2008, The Guardian has a story entitled: BAE: papers reveal Saudi threats

In 2004, the UK's Serious Fraud Office began an investigation into arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

It was The Guardian which reportedly had discovered massive secret payments were going to Saudi princes, to promote arms deals.

Tony Blair eventually halted the fraud investigation, claiming that this was necessary in order to continue cooperation with Saudi Arabia in intelligence matters.

From The Guardian, 15 February 2008:

"Saudi Arabia's rulers threatened to make it easier for terrorists to attack London unless corruption investigations into their arms deals were halted, according to court documents revealed yesterday."

This looks like a piece of anti-Moslem fearmongering, of the sort that might be enjoyed by MI6?

Prince Bandar, the head of the Saudi national security council, and son of the crown prince, was alleged in court to have threatened that he might not cooperate with the British over security matters.

Prince Bandar is alleged to have received £1bn in secret payments from the arms company BAE.
Anti-corruption campaigners have now begun a legal action to overturn the decision to halt the fraud case. They want the original investigation restarted.

There are certain questions that The Guardian does not ask:

1. Are the Israelis trying to stop UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia?

2. Is the US arms industry trying to halt UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia?

3. If there is a terror attack in London, is it likely that the British Security services or the Saudi security services will know more about it?

4. Was the fraud investigation halted, not because of any fears of terrorism, but because of a wish to continue profitable arms deals?

THE AUSTRALIAN GIRL IN YEMEN

2010-09-19T10:15:00.000-07:00

Shyloh Jayne Giddens Children ( marebpress.net)

In Yemen, an Australian woman, Shyloh Jayne Giddens, 30, was sent to prison on 15 May 2010.
Giddens was held in prison in Yemen in connection with alleged CIA-al Qaida-Mossad activity. (Australian woman held in Yemen.)

She was detained with several other foreigners on suspicion of involvement with the CIA-al Qaida-Mossad branch responsible for the Christmas day airliner false flag operation.

She was released back to Australia in June 2010.

Reportedly, the CIA-al Qaida-Mossad has recruited English-speaking westerners, particularly women, who could easily slip past security controls to launch false flag attacks.

In March 2010, Colleen LaRose, a blonde, blue-eyed 'CIA operative' from Pennsylvania, who went under the online alias Jihad Jane, was charged with plotting to murder a Swedish cartoonist.

Gregory Johnson, of Princeton University, reportedly suggested that it is not always easy to recruit Moslems for false flag operations.

According to her lawyer, Giddens arrived in Sana'a in September 2006.

The CIA-al Qaida-Mossad has threatened to kidnap Saudi princes and ministers to secure the release of Gidden.

The CIA-Al Qaida-Mossad in the Arabian Peninsula was formed from a merger between the Saudi and Yemeni branches of Osama Bin Laden's group.

~

This is not from the Daily Mail, 29 December 2009:

Al Qaeda, run by the CIA and its friends, announced on 28 December 2009 that they were behind the Christmas jet bomb plot.

The CIA said it provided Nigerian Abdul Abulbul with a 'device' but it had failed to detonate because it was not meant to.

A statement posted on CIA-Islamist websites said the attack was to help justify US intervention in Yemen.

The US hopes to counter Russian and Chinese influence in Yemen, and hopes to balkanise Saudi Arabia.

The CIA-Islamist website showed a picture of Abdul referring to him as Patsy al-Nigiri - the Nigerian patsy.

'With the cooperation of Israeli security firms in Amsterdam, he managed to penetrate all devices and modern advanced technology and security checkpoints in international airports bravely without fear of death,' said the website statement.

The 23-year-old has told the FBI he was tutored in terrorism while living for a month with a senior CIA commander in Yemen.

He is said to have warned that other young men are being trained there to advance the cause of US imperialism.

President Barack Obama said: 'We will continue to use every element of our national power to balkanise strategically important Moslem countries.'

In London, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said police were examining whether the son of one of Africa's richest men had been recruited as a patsy by MI5 or MI6 during three years studying engineering at University College London.

The Nigerian is reported to have 'crossed the radar' of MI5 while in the UK.

Abdul Abulbul was on a U.S. watch list, although it allowed him to travel on planes flying into the country.

Double agents and patsies ran the Gunpowder Plot

Famous Jewish journalist Melanie Phillips did not write the following:

So here we go again.

Another CIA-Mossad-MI6 terrorist plot, and yet another British connection.

How did Abdul Abulbul obtain a U.S. visa when he had been on an American watch-list of people with known terrorist connections?

But the deeper and more urgent issue for Britain concerns the key role Britain has once again played in the Pentagon's plans for world domination.

Abdul Abulbul, who claims to have been working for the CIA, was a student at a University in London for three years until 2008.

He was refused an entry visa to Britain earlier in 2009, but only because the institution at which he said he wanted to study turned out to be non-existent.

How, people might well ask, could such a radical have been educated in Britain without the authorities jumping on him?

Presumably he had been recruited by MI5 as a patsy.

Who can be surprised? After all, this is ' Londonistan' - the term coined by the French spooks back in the Nineties as they watched Britain become the central hub of CIA-Islamic terrorism in Europe.

Radicals flocked to the UK, attracted by Britain's toxic lax immigration controls.

CIA-Islamic extremist networks are still allowed to flourish in Britain, largely due to the governing class with its fascist and mafia agenda.

The courts are still refusing to deport terrorists who work for the security services.

London boasts the shameful reputation of the world's top money-laundry for CIA terrorism.

Yet the government refuses to outlaw Hizb ut-Tahrir.

The Government is funnelling money into extremist Islamist groups.

'Authentic' Islam is peaceful.

But the CIA plan is to weaken oil rich Moslem countries by promoting extremism and feudalism.

Who are the real bad guys?

The following was not written by the New York Times about 'the clash of civilisations':

It used to be the rogue state of Israel that was involved in a clash with liberals and democrats in the West.

Why was there a clash?

1. The Israelis had used terror to drive the Arabs off their land.

2. Some of the Israelis were religious fundamentalists with 'weird, outdated beliefs'.

But, certain clever people in the USA have managed to change the story.

Now the clash is supposed to be between the 'mad Moslems' on the one side and the western liberals and democrats on the other.

How has the Pentagon and the CIA, together with its friends in Israel, managed to stir a clash between Moslems and the West?

1. Has the CIA/Pentagon given its support to Islamic fundamentalists in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan?

2. Has the CIA/Pentagon/Mossad infiltrated fundamentalist Christianity and allied it to Zionism?

3. Have certain western politicians allowed large numbers of poorly educated Moslem illegal-immigrants to enter certain western countries?

4. Did the CIA/Pentagon recruit Osama bin Laden and people like Mohamed Atta?

5. Have some ignorant Moslems been recruited by certain security services to take part part in various dubious activities?

6. Has a 'Jewish influenced' media stirred up trouble between Christians and Moslems?

7. Have large numbers of Moslems allowed themselves to be brain-washed and manipulated?

It is our impression, after visiting half a dozen Moslem countries, that the great majority of Moslems are moderate, tolerant, hospitable people.

Moderation, tolerance and hospitality can evaporate under pressure.

The Palestinians have had their land stolen and their children murdered - hence the vote for Hamas. Most Palestinians are not fundamentalists!

The CIA gave Iran the dictatorship of the Shah and then the dictatorship of the Ayatollahs.

The Iraqis had the CIA agent Saddam Hussein imposed on them and then they had their country manipulated into a war against Iran. More recently, a relatively secular Iraq has become a more fundamentalist Iraq.

The CIA has helped keep pro-western governments in power in Morocco and Algeria. This has encouraged moderate Moslems to turn to fundamentalist politicians.

The Americans have kept the Saudi monarchy in power.

The CIA toppled Indonesia's Sukarno and Suharto.

If you watch the media carefully you begin to notice the pattern of brainwashing:

Photo of Professor Bernard Lewis by the Office of Communications, Princeton University. Lewis was a Professor at Princeton and he specialized in the history of Islam and the relationship between Islam and the West.

Dick Cheney's friend, Bernard Lewis, was "perhaps the most significant intellectual influence behind the invasion of Iraq." (AEI's Weird Celebration)

Bernard Lewis helped to invent the West's new enemy, known as 'Islam'.

For the British, it was once the Jewish terrorists who were seen as being the enemy.

For the USA, it was once tiny Vietnam.

Professor Bernard Lewis is Jewish and has worked for British intelligence.

(Bernard Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Lewis, born in London in 1916, is a historian and 'expert' on Islam.

In 1974, Lewis accepted a position at Princeton University.

In 1990, Lewis wrote an essay entitled The Roots of Muslim Rage.

In this essay, Lewis argued that the struggle between the West and Islam was gathering strength.

In this essay Lewis invented the phrase "clash of civilizations", which got mentioned in the book by Samuel Huntington.^[13]

Typical Moslems - friendly, easy going and hospitable.

The phrase "clash of civilizations", was first used by Lewis at a meeting in Washington in 1957. ^[14]

There has been speculation that Lewis, the intelligence services and people like Brzezinski want to make the Moslem world look bad, so that it can be more easily controlled and exploited.

Much of the world's oil lies in Moslem lands.

How do you make Moslems look bad?

You can finance the extremists and help them into power.

You can carry out false flag operations.

Bernard Lewis argues (Bernard Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) that the Middle East is backward due to its culture and religion.

The alternative view is that a country like Iraq is backward partly because of constant interference by countries such as Britain and the USA.

In his 1982 book Muslim Discovery of Europe, Lewis claims that "Crusader successes were due in no small part to Muslim weakness."

What Lewis does not make clear is that the Crusaders were barbarians and that they slaughtered innocent people wherever they went. The Fourth Crusade invaded and conquered and looted the Christian city of Constantinople.

Lewis opposes the idea that Israel is a racist country.

He argues that Moslems behaved badly in the Algerian civil war (1992–98) and in the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88).

Lewis fails to point out that certain security services helped prevent democracy from taking place in Algeria in 1991. (aangirfan: Fake terror in Algeria; the US military in Algeria; oil ...)

Lewis fails to point out that many people believe that both Saddam and the Ayatollahs were put into power by the CIA. (aangirfan: Saddam worked for the CIA / aangirfan: The Ayatollahs and the CIA)

Christian Crusaders attacking the Christian city of Constantinople

Lewis's latest book is called Islam: The Religion and the People.

Lewis states quite correctly:

1."At no time did the (Muslim) jurist approve of terrorism. Nor indeed is there any evidence of the use of terrorism (in Islamic tradition)."

2."Muslims are commanded not to kill women, children, or the aged; not to torture or otherwise ill-treat prisoners; to give fair warning of the opening of hostilities; and to honor agreements."

3."Terrorism ... has no antecedents in Islamic history, and no justification in terms of Islamic theology, law, or tradition...

4."The fanatical warrior offering his victims the choice of the Koran or the sword is not only untrue, it is impossible."

5."Generally speaking, Muslim tolerance of unbelievers was far better than anything available in Christendom."

Typical Moslems.

So, where did terrorism come from?

The Pentagon and its friends are reported to be the brains behind the terrorism (Classic State Terrorism)

And Lewis is unlikely to mention Michael Ledeen, Gladio and 9 11.

Lewis seeks closer Western ties with Israel.

In his essay "A License to Kill", Lewis wrote that he considered bin Laden's language as the "ideology of jihad".

Lewis is unlikely to tell us about the work the bin Ladens have done for the US government (The bin Laden Family)

Lewis has clashed with Edward W. Said, the Palestinian-American scholar who is a professor at Columbia University.

In Al-Ahram Weekly, Said claimed "Bernard Lewis hasn't set foot in the Middle East, in the Arab world, for at least 40 years.

"He knows something about Turkey, I'm told, but he knows nothing about the Arab world." ("Resources of hope,")

Edward Said considered that Lewis failed to see Moslems as a whole lot of different sorts of people.

In a 2002 interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Noam Chomsky claimed that Lewis failed to point out that "there's a perception in (the Middle east) that the United States supports status quo governments, which prevent democracy and development" and that this has to do with Middle East oil. (Hot Type Transcript)

Lewis supported the Iraq War.

In a 2006 article for the "Wall Street Journal" Lewis asserted that Iran was working on a nuclear weapon.

BANDAR DISAPPEARS; SAUDIS MEET SYRIANS; ARMS DEAL

2010-08-19T11:40:00.000-07:00

Bandar and Bush

It is difficult to tell what is happening with Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria and Lebanon, but here are some possible clues:

Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar, reportedly a CIA asset, is a close friend of the Bush family.

Reportedly, Prince Bandar, who has been linked to the financing of 9 11, is in a Saudi prison. (The Missing Prince g)

Reportedly, Bandar had tried to topple the Saudi king.

It was on 2 August 2009, that it was reported that, in Saudi Arabia, a coup attempt by Prince Bandar has 'failed'

Reportedly, Bandar has supported a US attack on Iran. (Prince Bandar Allegedly Advocating Military Response Against Iran ...)

"Bandar has had contact with Israel at least since 1990." (Israel's liaison to its neighbors: Saudi Prince Bandar - Haaretz.)

Saudi Arabia's Abdullah meets Syria's Assad in Lebanon in July 2010. Does this mean that Syria is distancing itself from Iran or that Saudi Arabia is now less friendly with the USA and Israel?

Iran, Syria, Lebanon's Hezbollah, and Palestine's Hamas are usually seen as being on one side.

Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, Jordan and United States are usually seen as being on the other side.

Saudi Arabia fears that the USA and Israel want eventually to treat Saudi Arabia as they are at present treating Pakistan.

Saudi Arabia also fears Iran.

Laure Yessine from Lebanon

At oilprice.com/, on 6 August 2010, Claude Salhani wrote: "A Coup in Saudi Avoided?"

According to Salhani:

1. A Saudi official has said the 'Bandar story' is an attempt by Iran to discredit the Saudis in the eyes of the Syrians.

Iran wants Syria to stay as a friend; Iran wants to stop Saudi Arabia and Syria becoming friends.

Bandar, of course, may be on his ranch in Colorado.

2. Recently King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia made an official visit to Lebanon and this suggests that Syria and Saudi Arabia are becoming more friendly.

Recently King Abdullah was in Morocco where he met the deputy director of the CIA.

Last year there was a summit meeting between King Abdullah and President Assad of Syria.

According to 'reliable sources' in Lebanon, Syria is to be allowed a 'soft return to Lebanon'.

3. Reportedly, Syria passed on to Saudi Arabia information that a member of the royal family was planning a coup d’état.

According to Middle East intelligence sources, this intelligence came from Russian intelligence.

Prince Bandar had made a number of visits to Russia to make arms deals.

4. Syria made it clear to Saudi Arabia that Israel, and not Lebanon, is responsible for the killing of Rafik Hariri, former prime minister of Lebanon.

In recent months, 70 people in Lebanon have been arrested for spying for Israel.

In August 2010, The Financial Times reports that a Saudi arms deal is now set for smooth US passage

"One of the largest arms deals in US history, involving the sale of weaponry worth some $60bn to Saudi Arabia, is likely to go through Congress without significant objections, according to people on Capitol Hill...

"People knowledgeable about the deal say a big factor smoothing its passage is Israel's relatively relaxed position, at a time when it and Saudi Arabia are both focusing on a possible threat from Iran... 'The lack of Israeli opposition is very telling,' said a congressional staffer..."

A month earlier we read that 'Israel is trying to block U.S.-Saudi Arabia defense contract".

Confused?

DO THE SAUDIS SUPPORT AN ATTACK ON IRAN?

The ships "conducting secret exercises off the shore of south-western Israel."

The exercises included "interception of incoming Iranian, Syrian and Hizbollah missiles and rockets against USA and Israeli targets in the Middle East."

The exercises involved fighter bombers carrying out simulated bombing missions, and Israeli and U.S. fighter jets practicing long-range bombing missions.

SAUDI ARABIA WORKING WITH ISRAEL?

ISRAEL LINKED TO TERRORIST ATTACKS IN TURKEY

2010-06-26T09:11:00.000-07:00

Amasya, Turkey by zz77

On 22 June 2010, in Istanbul, a roadside bomb killed five people on a bus. (Istanbul bomb kills people on bus)

One victim was a 17-year-old girl.

Some people may blame the PKK (Kurdish group), which reportedly has links to Mossad.

Sedat Laciner, the head of the International Strategic Research Organization, a Turkish think tank, says that Mossad agents and Israeli military retirees had been sighted providing training to PKK militants. (Turkish military kills 7 PKK militants)

There is 'deepening suspicion' about the possible Israeli involvement in the killing of seven people in a terrorist rocket attack on Turkey.

The rocket attack came on the same day Israeli soldiers attacked the humanitarian aid convoy in international waters. (Suspicion growing about possible link between PKK and Israel)

Turkey by zz77

In The New Yorker in 2006, US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh wrote that Israel and the US have been "working together in support of a Kurdish resistance group known as the Party for Free Life in Kurdistan." (Suspicion growing about possible link between PKK and Israel)

Israel has fallen out with Turkey and may want to topple Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan.

Israel may have help from certain Turks.

According to a report in The Jerusalem Post, intelligence cooperation between Mossad and the Turkish security service, MIT, "was enshrined in a 12-clause agreement that was signed during a 1993 visit to Israel by then-Turkish foreign minister Hikmat Chetin".

Soon after, according to the London-based newsletter Foreign Report, a large Mossad operation was established in Turkey, with Mossad agents based in both Istanbul and Ankara. (hr-action.org/archive1/990225tjp1.html)

It has been argued that Turkey has many crypto-Jews (Jews who appear not to be Jews).

The Young Turk movement, which set up modern Turkey at the beginning of the 20th century, is reported to have been run by crypto-Jews. (CRYPTO JEWS, TURKEY, AND 9 11)

Reportedly, the CIA, NATO and Mossad have a long history of carrying out acts of terrorism in Turkey.

In Turkey in 1960, NATO's 'stay behind army', working with the Turkish army, staged a coup d’état and killed Prime Minister Adnan Menderes. (Operation Gladio: CIA Network of "Stay Behind" Secret Armies)

Reportedly, Israel would like to take over Southern Lebanon, in order to get Southern Lebanon's water supplies.

Maps of Greater Israel show Israel in control of parts of Syria.

And all of Gaza.

And parts of Iraq.

So, a war might be needed.

On 20 May 2010, the Financial times had an article entitled "Threat of war across region..." which refers to a possible Israeli attack on Lebanon and Syria.

Step 1

There is an attack on Iran.

Step 2

In Lebanon, Hizbollah is expected to side with Iran.

Step 3

Israel invades Lebanon.

Step 4

Israel claims that the supply lines for Hizbollah's missiles run through Syria.

Israel attacks Syria.

Step 5

Hamas in Gaza is said to have the support of Iran.

Gaza becomes involved in the conflict.

Step 6

Other areas which could become involved include: Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar...

ARABS AND TERROR

2010-05-02T22:54:00.000-07:00

Reportedly, Saudis like to visit Mumbai for the girls.

In May 2010, embassies in New Delhi warned of an imminent 'terror' attack.

The terror alert comes days after Pakistan and India agreed to resume ministerial-level talks.

There is a theory that the Pentagon would like to see India broken up, just like Yugoslavia.

Saudi Arabia has a history of helping the Pentagon.

Quoting a French intelligence report, The New Yorker reported (Cached):

"During the 1980s, when the Reagan administration secretly arranged for an estimated $34 million to be funneled through Saudi Arabia to the Contras in Nicaragua, (Osama’s eldest brother) Salem bin Laden aided in this cause."

According to Indian authorities, huge sums of money were transferred from Saudi Arabia to Mumbai in the year before the 2006 Mumbai train attacks.

(Saudis funded Mumbai blasts.)

Reportedly Saudi money was used to plan and execute the blasts on Mumbai's suburban trains.

Pattaya, famous for its child brothels and high murder rate. http://www.gtipphotos.state.gov/photos.htm

What links do the CIA and MI6 have to Al Qaeda?

Reportedly the Gulf States, Pattaya in Thailand, and Chicago provide part of the answer.

Reportedly the CIA and MI6 meet their Al Qaeda pals in Pattaya.

In July 2001, Le Figaro and french radio reported that Osama bin Laden was staying at the American Hospital in Dubai, and there he was visited by Larry Mitchell, the CIA's station chief in Dubai.

Reportedly, Qatar’s interior minister, Sheikh Al-Thani, harboured Al Qaeda's number three man Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda operative Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi.

Reportedly, a cousin of Bin Laden’s financial adviser worked at the British Consulate General in Chicago. Reportedly, from there, money was delivered to 'Al Qaeda' operatives in the United States.

Reportedly, the CIA and MI6 work closely with Al Qaeda.

Tim Gatto, in the Atlantic Free Press on 15 January 2009, wrote that the US government invented "a huge group of militant Muslims operating in 87 countries that was led by Osama Bin Laden. The name of this Washington invention was called al Qaeda."

Former UK Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that Al Qaeda is a database of militias and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis.

Reportedly, the CIA's Al Qaeda blackmails the Gulf States.

Reportedly the CIA's Al Qaeda has extorted protection money from the governments of the Gulf.

On 26 August 2009, Wayne Madsen, at Online Journal, wrote:

"CIA collusion with 'Al Qaeda' financiers and attack planners"

(Previously published in the Wayne Madsen Report.)

According to Wayne Madsen:

1. "An intelligence source from a NATO country" has reported that elements of the CIA are working with top Gulf state officials who are linked to 'Al Qaeda' networks.

2. A top prince in Qatar acts as a link between the CIA and 'Al Qaeda.'

3. The prince contacts 'Al Qaeda’s' financial network through contacts in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

4. The British Embassy's regional security officer in Dubai, believed to be an MI6 officer, maintains contact with the Qatari prince and his network in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

5. This network is allowed to operate with CIA and MI6 knowledge and support.

6. This network involves a top official in the government of Abu Dhabi who is close to the Abu Dhabi royal family.

7. Reportedly, the CIA station at the U.S. embassy in Doha, Qatar, has been a key link between the CIA and the 'Al Qaeda' support network.

8. Reportedly, the CIA in the UAE maintains close contact with Osama Bin Laden’s former financial adviser, a British-Mozambican UK citizen.

This man once lived in Bin Laden’s home in Saudi Arabia which was visited by diplomats from Britain and the United States.

A cousin of Bin Laden’s financial adviser worked at the British Consulate General in Chicago.

From there, financial support was given to 'Al Qaeda' operatives in the United States.

9. Chicago FBI agents Robert Wright and John Vincent began investigating the Al Qaeda money trail between Chicago and Bin Laden. Their investigation was spiked by FBI headquarters in Washington.

FBI agent John P O'Neill got close to the connections between 'Al Qaeda,' the Saudi government, and the CIA and MI6.

O’Neill was retired from the FBI.

10. Bin Laden maintained accounts at the CIA-linked Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).

(BCCI was created with capital from Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and Bank of America)

11. In Bangkok and Pattaya in Thailand, 'Al Qaeda' operatives, often meet CIA and MI6 'liaisons'.

Bangkok was the site of one of the CIA’s secret rendition prisons.

MOSLEMS WORKING FOR THE CIA

2010-04-04T10:42:00.000-07:00

Moslems working for the CIA to destabilise Russia?

Would the CIA and its friends use Moslems to destabilise rival countries such as Russia?

1. In the 1960s, Islamic guerrillas were being supported and used by Britain's MI6.

According to The Independent (UK):

"Cabinet papers show that British spies, including MI6, supported Islamic guerrillas in order to destabilise Sukarno."

(Revealed: Healey admits role in British dirty tricks campaign to overthrow Indonesia's President Sukarno, By Paul Lashmar and James Oliver, The Independent - 16 April 2000 (The Secret State: MI5 (Home Office/MoD), The Security Service and ...)

According to Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II by William Blum (Indonesia 1957-1958):

"In the early months of 1958, rebellion began to break out in one part of the Indonesian island chain, then another."

CIA pilots took to the air to carry out bombing and strafing missions in support of the rebels.

"On 15 May, a CIA plane bombed the Ambon marketplace, killing a large number of civilians on their way to church on Ascension Thursday...

"Three days later, during another bombing run over Ambon, a CIA pilot, Allen Lawrence Pope, was shot down and captured."

2. In The Age, (We must not get back in bed with Kopassus - theage.com.au), Dr Damien Kingsbury, of Deakin University, wrote about Moslem militants in Indonesia and their links to the American-trained military.

Kingsbury points out that Komando Jihad, which became Jemaah Islamiah, was set up by (American trained) Indonesian generals.

Former Indonesian spy (BAKIN) chief A.C. Manulang was quoted by Tempo magazine as suggesting that Bali bomb mastermind Al-Farouq was a CIA-recruited agent.

3. "According to CIA agent Miles Copeland... the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood...

"This signalled the beginning of an alliance between the traditional regimes and mass Islamic movements against Nasser and other secular forces." (aangirfan: The use of the Muslim Brotherhood by MI6 and the CIA in ...)

According to an article entitled "The British, Muslim Terrorism and September 11":

"In Syria, in 1982, there was a major conflict between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Syrian government at the city of Hamma that resulted in 20,000 casualties.

"In the aftermath Syria's President Asad revealed that the Muslim Brotherhood forces were armed with US-made equipment...

"Israel, forever inclined to back divisive movements, surfaced as another supporter of Islam and began to fund the Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas.

"The most noteworthy success of the Islamic movement during this time was of course the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the installation of the Ayatollah Khomeini as the Islamic dictator.

"British Intelligence had used their contacts with Iran's mullahs and ayatollahs to help overthrow Mossadegh and install the Shah back in 1953, and these contacts were maintained and used again to overthrow the Shah when his regime fell out of favor."

4. The CIA and its friends must help their Moslem agents to escape custody?

Rashid Rauf, British 'terrorist mastermind' of the alleged plot to blow up at least 10 transatlantic airliners, managed to escaped from custody. (Top British terror suspect escapes)

Jamal al-Badawi was convicted in 2004 of planning and carrying out the USS Cole bombing.

He escaped from prison in 2004.

In October 2007, al-Badawi, after pledging loyalty to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, was told that he is a free man. ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21480392/ )

Omar Al-Faruq was described as being the mastermind of the Bali bomb plot.

Al-Faruq was arrested in Bogor on June 5, 2002 and handed over to the US authorities.

Former Indonesian State Intelligence Coordinating Board (BAKIN) chief A.C. Manulang was quoted by Tempo as saying that Al-Faruq was most likely a CIA-recruited agent. (Omar Al-Faruq Recruited by The CIA)

In 2005, a Pentagon official in Washington confirmed that al-Faruq escaped from a U.S. detention facility in Bagram, Afghanistan. (Pakistan News Service - PakTribune)

Haroon Rashid Aswat was described as being the mastermind of the 7 July London bombings.

The authorities stated that Aswat had made mobile telephone calls to two of the 7 July bombers. ('Batley man' linked to bin Laden and bombers - Yorkshire Evening Post)

After Aswat was handed over to the UK police, Scotland Yard police headquarters said, on 7 August 2005, that detectives were not interested in speaking to Aswat about the London attacks. ( http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=13913208)

Reportedly, Aswat worked for MI6. (Haroon Rashid Aswat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The CIA and its friends are in bed with the Islamic extremists.

Both the the CIA and the Islamists support fascism and the feudal system.

At www.voltairenet.org Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed has written about Our terrorists

(Ahmed is Executive Director of the Institute for Policy Research & Development (IPRD) in London)

Among the points made:

1. Bin Laden and his Islamist pals received about half a billion dollars a year from the CIA, and roughly the same from the Saudis.

The CIA and its pals supported al Qaeda "as a counterweight to ... leftwing and nationalist political trends."

The CIA and its pals wanted to spread Islamist extremism to countries such as Yemen, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

2. Graham Fuller, former Deputy Director of the CIA’s National Council on Intelligence, stated: "The policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them against our adversaries worked marvellously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army.

"The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia."

3. From 1992 to 1995, the Pentagon flew thousands of al-Qaeda mujahidin from Central Asia into Europe, to fight alongside Bosnian Muslims against the Serbs.

The pattern continued in Kosovo.

Bin Laden's lieutenant in the area had direct radio contact with NATO leadership.

4. Around the same time, US intelligence increased its support of al-Qaeda mujahidin in Chechnya.

Afghan heroin was supplied to the Chechen mafia.

5. In Algeria, Bin Laden's men were used to kill opponents of the government.

Hundreds of civilians were massacred by the Armed Islamic Group (GIA). The GIA was formed largely of Algerian veterans of bin Laden's mujahidin forces in Afghanistan who had returned in the late 1980s.

'Yussuf-Joseph', a secret agent in Algeria's sécurité militaire, told the Guardian that civilian massacres in Algeria, blamed on the GIA, were 'the work of secret police and army death squads'.

Dr Jeremy Keenan, Director of Sahara Studies at the University of East Anglia, documents 'an increasing amount of evidence to suggest that the alleged spread of terrorist activities across much of the Sahelian Sahara, has indeed been an elaborate deception on the part of US and Algerian military intelligence services'.

6. Gust Avracotos, the CIA's Station Chief in Islamabad, says that Mossad penetrated Pakistan's ISI.

US Government and intelligence sources confirm that Israel provided direct and indirect financial aid to Hamas in the late 1970s as a counterbalance to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO).

7. In the New Yorker, Seymour Hersh cites US Government and intelligence officials' confirmation that the CIA and the Pentagon have funnelled millions of dollars via Saudi Arabia to al-Qaeda affiliated Sunni extremist groups, across the Middle East and Central Asia.

THE CIA AND ITS FRIENDS IN DUBAI

2010-03-09T00:05:00.000-08:00

Hongkong port managed by Dubai Ports World uaecommunity.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html

Iran's foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki wonders if MI6 and other western security services were involved in the Dubai assassination of al-Mabhouh.

He has said that the UK, Ireland, France, Germany and Australia should explain about the use of their passports in the assassination of al-Mabhouh.

He said that it should be discovered whether or not Western security organizations were involved in the assassination. (West should 'answer': Iran)

What part did the CIA play in the Dubai assassination?

Remember the 2006 deal for the United Arab Emirates-based Dubai Ports World to take over management of several U.S. ports?

"Dubai Ports, in essence, was going to become an agent of the CIA," says author Rowan Scarborough (Washington Times).

Dubai Ports currently runs port facilities "at key U.S. intelligence targets, including Venezuela, China, Pakistan, India and Saudi Arabia". (Book Says Dubai Ports Deal Was CIA Front Sweetness & Light )

The CIA takes a keen interest in Dubai.

In January 2000, alleged 9 11 hijacker pilot Ziad Jarrah was in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Terry McDermott of the LA Times went to the UAE and checked the story.

According to McDermott, a UAE official said: "What happened was we called the Americans.

"We said, 'We have this guy. What should we do with him?' ... He's there, we called the Americans, their answer was, 'Let him go, we'll track him.' We were going to make him stay. We weren't feeling very happy in letting him go." (Jarrah in Dubai, the CIA and the 9/11.)

OSAMA BIN LADEN WAS IN THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL IN DUBAI IN JULY 2001.

India's RAW takes an interest in Dubai.

According to the Wall Street Journal, at least two of the Dubai assassins of al-Mabhouh reportedly traveled to the USA after the assassination. (Two Dubai Suspects Traveled to U.S.)

One of the suspects reportedly entered the US using a British passport. Another suspect reportedly entered the USA using an Irish passport. (Dubai assassins drag America into row over fake passports)

The source said there are no records of either of the suspects leaving the US. The Dubai hit squad used American credit cards. Dubai police say 14 members of the assassination team used credit cards issued by the US bank META. (Dubai assassins drag America into row over fake passports )

Meanwhile, Dubai police chief Dhahi Khalfan Tamim has said "I am sure that all suspects are in Israel".

The Dubai assassins reportedly traveled to Dubai from a variety of locations - Hong Kong, Zurich, Rome, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, and Dusseldorf. Some of the assassins passed through Doha, Bangkok, Johannesburg and Amsterdam.

The boss of MI6 was in Riyadh just before the assassination (DUBAI ASSASSINATION - REAL PASSPORTS - MI6)

Was MI6 involved in the Dubai assassination plot?

The assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai was on 19 January 2010.

On 23 January 2010, the UK's Daily Telegraph, the voice of MI6, promoted the idea that if we read or heard about British looking women involved in acts of terrorism, we should assume that these women were Al Qaeda.

On 15 February 2010 it was revealed by the Dubai police that a number of white women had been involved in the Dubai assassination. (aangirfan: LOOK OUT FOR WOMEN!)

The distinguished journalist Patrick Seale has warned that Israel wants to draw Washington into a war with Iran. (British journalist warns of Israeli plot to draw USinto war with Iran)

Reportedly, Zbigniew Brzezinski wants to keep Iran as an ally against Russia and China.

But Brzezinski may not get his way. Brzezinski fears that 'the Jewish lobby controls OBAMA’

Xymphora (Iran and jewish hegemony) believes that Israel's Ehud Barak is saying: "Obama isn't going beyond diplomacy with Iran, won't attack Iran, and won't let Israel do so."

Meanwhile, journalist Wayne Madsen has suggested that the captured ringleader of the Jundallah Moslem terrorist group, Abdolmalek Rigi, was scheduled to meet US special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke at the Manas Air Base, in Kyrgyzstan, for talks on waging an insurgency against Iran. ('Rigi planned to meet Holbrooke in Kyrgyzstan')

Holbrooke is one of the bad guys.

At the American Hospital in Dubai, in July 2001, Osama bin Laden met the local CIA station chief, Larry Mitchell. (Where was Osama bin Laden?.)

Some people think that Mossad and the CIA are trying to destabilise Dubai.

Dubai's aim is to make money from helping Iran to beat sanctions.

"Now the Americans (or the Israelis – you can take your pick) want to turn Dubai into the Beirut of the Gulf. That was actually a headline last week – in The Jerusalem Post, of course – which painted Dubai as dangerous as it was economically calamitous." (Robert Fisk: Passport to the truth in Dubai remains secret )

And what about MI6 which is the responsibility of the Jewish David Miliband?

"Robert Fisk rather politely notes that having a Jewish Secretary of State has endangered the lives of everyone with a British passport." (The Mossad follies)

Reportedly, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, of Hamas, was assassinated by Mossad agents in a hotel in Dubai.

Six of the people named by Dubai police as the assassins have the same names as Jews who have gone from Britain to live in Israel.

One of the alleged assassins is a German-Israeli woman.

At least three additional alleged assassins appear to have the names of Israeli citizens.

An Israeli government minister visited the United Arab Emirates just before the assassination.

The assassins could have accompanied Israeli Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau's convoy into the United Arab Emirates. (Assassins hid in Israeli minister convoy: Hamas)

So, now Mossad has to get its friends in the media to spread disinformation?

http://middleeastrealitycheck.blogspot.com/ explains about Disinformation Services:

"Crowded cast in Hamas's whodunnit

The Gaza rulers have vowed revenge for an assassination, but there are too many suspects

USA VERSUS RUSSIA & CHINA; SAUDI ARABIA and YEMEN

2009-12-21T05:10:00.000-08:00

Why did Obama launch cruise missiles against civilians in Yemen? (Obama, Nobel peace prize in hand, bombs Yemen with cruise missiles)

Yemen, just like Saudi Arabia, is in a strategically important position.

China and Russia take an interest in Yemen.

China is now Yemen's largest trading partner. (Burgeoning China-Yemen Ties Showcase Beijing's Middle East ...)

On 21 December 2009, Yemen and China discussed trade and economic cooperation. (Yemen, China discuss trade, economic cooperation )

China has a growing interest in Yemen.

"It is also part of Beijing's efforts to project power in the Horn of Africa. China's strong economic and military ties to Sudan and expanding relations with Kenya are a critical component of this strategy." (Burgeoning China-Yemen Ties Showcase Beijing's Middle East ...)

Following the visit of Yemeni President 'Ali 'Abdallah 'Salih to Russia in March 2009, the two countries signed a deal worth an estimated $1 billion that would see sophisticated Russian weaponry exported to Yemen. (Yemen-Russia Signs $1b. Arms Deal- Yemen Post English Newspaper Online)

On 17 December 2009, on orders from Obama, the U.S. military launched cruise missiles against targets in Yemen (Obama Ordered US Military Strike on Yemen Terrorists)

AFP tells us that according to a local official 'The raid was carried out indiscriminately and killed 49 civilians, including 23 children and 17 women.'

There is a conflict in Yemen between Yemen's Sunni-dominated government and Shia rebels in the north.

Saudi Arabia opposes the Shia rebels.

There are also people in the South of Yemen who want to break away from the central government. (Why southern Yemen is pushing for secession )

Saudi Arabia does not necessarily trust the USA. (aangirfan: THE END OF THE US-SAUDI ALLIANCE?)

Robert Fisk suggested that "Saudi Arabia has been quietly co-ordinating its defence, armaments and oil policies with the Russians since 2007." (Robert Fisk: A financial revolution.)

"There is ... a prospect that Saudi Arabia will look to Pakistan for nuclear guarantees to supplement or replace U.S. security promises." (Inside the Saudi Succession)

The USA has considered the possibility of invading Saudi Arabia

According to former UK cabinet minister Mo Mowlam: The real goal of the USA is the seizure of Saudi oil.

It is possible that the assassination of King Faisal was the work of Mossad and its friends.

With countries like Saudi Arabia and Yemen, the Pentagon policy is Divide and Rule

On 20 December 2009, at OpEdNews, Rick Rozoff, wrote about Yemen: Pentagon's War On The Arabian Peninsula

According to Rozoff:

Yemen will become a battleground for a proxy war between the United States and Saudi Arabia on the one hand and Iran on the other.

BUT, what if the USA is planning to ally with Iran against Russia?

What if the USA is planning to break up Saudi Arabia?

What if the troubles in Yemen are all about a struggle between the USA on the one side and Russia and China on the other side?

1. Mossad and the CIA like the idea of controlling Yemen.

But, Russia and China are said to be moving closer to Yemen.

On 21 October 2008, we read: Russia May Revive Yemeni Naval Base

"Sergei Mironov, speaker of the... upper house of the Russian Parliament, said Yemen and its main port of Aden could become a center for the Russian navy to fulfill 'strategic goals' in the coming years.

"Mironov made his comments during a visit to the Yemeni capital, Sanaa (October 2008).

"In reporting his remarks, RIA Novosti noted they were made in the context of the growing piracy threat off the horn of Africa and in the southern Red Sea. It said 'authorities in Yemen already have been calling on Moscow to help fight piracy and possible terrorist threats.'

"'It's possible that the aspects of using Yemen ports not only for visits by Russian warships, but also for more strategic goals will be considered,' Mironov told reporters.

A Russian-manufactured armoured car in Yemen (North Yemen Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -)

"Pirates based in chaotic Somalia on the other side of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden from Yemen last month extended their activities closer to the Yemeni coast when they captured a Panamanian oil tanker.

"Mironov stated that Yemeni authorities had expressed concern that terrorist forces linked to the al-Qaida organization could be operating in Somalia and off its coast and that they might seek to carry out attacks in the Arabian Sea, which carries much of the world's oil export sea traffic from the Persian Gulf."

2. So, Mossad and the CIA might want to destabilise the government of Yemen.

Reportedly, Yemen's oil is running out.

Yemen 'faces crisis as oil ends'

The World Bank predicts that by 2017, Yemen's oil and gas revenues will be zero.

The Royal Institute for International Affairs warns that this could lead to political instability which could expand to northern Kenya and Saudi Arabia.

It describes Yemen's democracy as "fragile" and refers to armed conflicts with Islamists and tribal insurgents.

Yemen is described as a democracy, but there is said to be a tribal system of patronage around President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

The president faces conflicts with tribal groups and faces 'Islamist' insurgents.

Yemen is next to important shipping routes and is close to the Suez Canal.

3. In September 2008, Yemen reportedly uncovered a network of 40 Mossad spies.

Yemen Observer

"The network was comprised of 40 people from different Arab nationalities spying for Mossad, the Israeli international intelligence, said sources from National and Political Security Units.

"The members of the espionage network entered Yemen on the premise of conducting business, tourism and even for preaching in mosques.

"Saleh said that the suspected spies form a terrorism cell that uses also Islam to reach their targets.

"Members were arrested individually and found to be in possession of detailed maps for sensitive security sites, intelligence telecommunication units and advanced tracking devices."

Let us remind ourselves about the Saudi monarchs:

Aabdulaziz Ibn Saud, 1932-53, kept many concubines.

Saud, 1953-64, was a heavy drinker of alcohol. (Steve Coll, The Bin Ladens, 2008, page 60)

Faisal, 1964-75, was assassinated.

In 1973, the Nixon regime had a plan for a possible US attack on Saudi Arabia in order to grab its oil. (Who Really Wants to Invade Saudi Arabia, and Why?)

Khalid, 1975-82, was forced by ill health to have pro-American Prince Fahd as the real power behind the throne.

Fahd, 1982-2005, aided Reagan in Nicaragua.

After a request by the Reagan government, Fahd funneled "$1 million per month into a Cayman Islands bank account in support of ...the Contras" (Steve Coll, The Bin Ladens, 2008, page 10)

Abdallah

Abdallah became the power in Saudi Arabia in 1993 after Fahd had a stroke.

Abdallah "is not too deferential to American wishes." (Boomerang How our covert wars ...)

Abdallah privately threatened a temporary cutoff of oil exports because of U.S. support for Israel. (23 November 2009, Simon Henderson, of the Washington Institute, Inside the Saudi Succession)

On 7 October 2009, Robert Fisk, at The Independent (UK) wrote (Robert Fisk: A financial revolution.) "Saudi Arabia has been quietly co-ordinating its defence, armaments and oil policies with the Russians since 2007."

Bush and Bandar (therearenosunglasses.wordpress.com/.../)

On 2 August 2009, it was reported that, in Saudi Arabia, a coup attempt by Prince Bandar has 'failed'

From P II: An American Pinay Circle, "Bandar has long been an ally, if not an asset, of the CIA."

Bandar was Saudi Ambassador to the USA.

"Between April 1998 and May 2002, some $51-73,000 in checks and cashier's checks were provided by the Saudi Ambassador to the United States and his wife to two families in southern California, who in turn bankrolled at least two of the 9/11 hijackers." (Prince Bandar and 9/11)

Prince Sultan

Who will succeed Abdallah?

Simon Henderson, of the Washington Institute, (Inside the Saudi Succession) relates:

Crown Prince Sultan's "reputation for corruption is judged to make him unpopular among the royal family as well as the kingdom's general population."

Prince Bandar is a son of Crown Prince Sultan. Bandar helped negotiate the 1985 Al Yamamah deal.

Nayef

If Prince Nayef succeeds, "the U.S.-Saudi relationship could become even more awkward."

He has "suggested that Mossad, Israel's intelligence service, was behind the September 11 attacks on the United States."

In August 2009, there was an attempted assassination of Prince Nayef. (Al-Qaida (CIA) stumbles in Saudi)

Prince Salman and Bush

Prince Salman is "well respected in the royal family and the wider population...

"He told the U.S. ambassador after the September 11 attacks that 'this has to have been a Zionist plot.'" (Inside the Saudi Succession)

Saud al-Faisal and Clinton

In 2003, U.S. ambassador Robert Jordan reportedly suggested that the succession should skip Sultan and Nayef and go to someone in the next generation, such as Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal. (Inside the Saudi Succession)

Abdullah and Pakistan's President Zardari in Saudi Arabia

DID THE CIA USE NASSER AGAINST SAUDI ARABIA'S KING SAUD?

2009-10-31T01:24:00.000-07:00

In 1962, Egypt's President Nasser was plotting against Saudi Arabia.
Reportedly, Nasser was put into power in Egypt by the CIA. (the CIA operative,Gamal Abdel Nasser...s)
According to Stewart Copeland, the CIA's Miles Copeland helped Egypt's Nasser to organize a secret service.
Miles Copeland's office was next door to Nasser's and they became very close friends. (.Stewart copeland Inside Out - Kollected Works .)
Reportedly, the CIA sent Paul Linebarger to Egypt to organise Radio Cairo's anti-American propaganda. Reportedly, Linebarger helped devise news stories and editorials which appeared to be pro-Soviet but which in fact made the Soviets look stupid.
US Secretary of State Dulles, and the CIA, reportedly, were fans of Nasser.
At what point did Nasser's nationalism upset the USA?
According to Steve Coll, in 'The Bin Ladens' (Penguin 2008), Saudi Arabia's King Saud was flirting with Soviet Russia in 1962.
In 1962, according to Steve Coll, "Nasser inspired an Arab nationalist revolution in Yemen and then intervened in that country with tens of thousands of Egyptian troops, igniting a proxy war with Saudi Arabia.
"Nasser cranked up his propaganda broadcasts attacking the Al-Saud, launching aerial bombing raids on saudi territory ... and conspired with sympathetic Saudi princes to overthrow the government in Riyadh..."
On whose side was President Kennedy?
According to Steve Coll, "Kennedy doubled aid to Nasser's regime."

Is the CIA using Saudi money to influence events in Indonesia?

On 19 August 2009, Indonesian police announced that a man believed to be from Saudi Arabia had been arrested on suspicion of smuggling money used to finance the July 2009 Jakarta hotel attacks.

(Indonesia probes Saudi cash link to hotels attack)

The alleged ''money man'' behind the bombings is Ali Mohammad bin Abdillah, according to Indonesian media.

(Jakarta bombers tied to Mid-East militants)

According to the newspaper Koran Tempo, Iwan Herdiansyah, 27, has also been arrested.

Iwan owns an internet cafe and spent several years in Saudi Arabia, before returning to Indonesia 13 months ago.

Neighbours reported that Iwan often had Arab-looking guests.

Saifuddin Jaelani, an Islamic cleric who allegedly recruited at least one of the bombers for the hotel attacks, spent four years in Yemen as a student.

J. Michael Springmann was head of the non-immigrant visa section at the "CIA-dominated" US consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 1987-88.

Springman said he learned that the CIA had a "program to bring people to the United States for terrorist training, people recruited by the CIA and its asset Usama bin Laden, and the idea was to get them trained and send them back to Afghanistan to fight the then Soviets."

Alleged child sex slavery in Saudi Arabia

2009-07-25T12:03:00.000-07:00

It is difficult to tell how much of the following is true.

Reportedly, "a US citizen enslaved and tortured by King Fahd's nephews was told by a guard in their palace prison the last person to inhabit his cell was a 'US girl child whore slave'." - Saudi princes are the high end buyers in the US child sex slave market

Reportedly, "it is quite well known within the international slave trade that Saudi princes are high end buyers." (Cached)

Reportedly, "Prince Faisal built a marble palace on Kirby in the posh River Oaks section of Houston.

"He had procurers go to various areas where young people congregated and bring them back to his palace.

"The prince had a continual party fueled by a stream procured teenagers both male and female.

"It was relatively easy for the procurers as the word got out about the sumptuous surroundings of the prince.

"The prince had the best of foods, drink and drugs available every day for his continual party." (Cached)

Reportedly, "Prince Mohammed bin Fahd, Governor of the Eastern Province has been accused by the Al Saud newsletter of condoning sex slavery within his administered area.

"We have been told Governor Prince Mohammed is an active participant in the child sex rings of the Eastern Province.

"We have been told he has parties for his friends with child sex as the main entertainment. Governor Prince Mohammed likes Hollywood where there are many boys and girls from which to entice into becoming sex slaves in Saudi Arabia under the ruse of film and modeling contracts.

THE SAUDIS AND 9 11; OBAMA HIDES THE TRUTH?

2009-06-30T07:59:00.001-07:00

Prince Bandar and Bush

On 29 June 2009, the US Supreme Court decided not to hear a case brought by families of 9/11 victims against Saudi Arabia, four members of the Saudi royal family, a Saudi bank and a charity.

US Supreme Court declines to hear case of 9/11 families

The Obama regime supported the Saudi monarchs, who were accused of financially supporting people involved in the 9-11 2001 attacks.

The family members claim that Saudi princes contributed to charities that funded Al Qaeda (Al CIAda) and the 9/11 'hijackers'.

In 2008, a court in Manhattan ruled that the Saudis were protected under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

The US Justice Department is determined to prevent the release of documents collected by lawyers for the families.

These documents, according to a New York Times report, “provide new evidence of extensive financial support for Al Qaeda and other extremist groups by members of the Saudi royal family.”

The US government has had copies of the documents destroyed and has sought to prevent judges from seeing them.

Nawaf al-Hamzi and Khalid al-Mihdhar were two Saudis nationals who were reportedly aboard planes that crashed on 9/11.

They were known by US intelligence to be members of Al Qaeda at least since 1999.

The two were allowed into the US, and were found accommodation with the help of a Saudi intelligence agent (Omar al-Bayoumi) and, later, an FBI asset (Abdussattar Shaikh).

Reportedly, Al-Bayoumi received financing from Princess Haifa, the wife of the Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar.

"Between April 1998 and May 2002, some $51-73,000 in checks and cashier's checks were provided by the Saudi Ambassador to the United States and his wife to two families in southern California, who in turn bankrolled at least two of the 9/11 hijackers." (Prince Bandar and 9/11)

It is assumed by many that the top Saudis carry out the wishes of the CIA.

~~

Prince Bandar is said to be a friend of Mossad.

"Lebanon's Al-Manar TV station reported ... that Saudi Arabia was the country that provided the intelligence to Mossad, suggesting that Saudi Secretary General of the National Security Council Prince Bandar bin Sultan played a role in the cooperation between the intelligence agencies." - Arab country 'cooperates with Mossad'
Prince Bandar and Bush
Prince Bandar has a 56,000-square-foot mansion in Aspen, Colorado.
The palatial vacation home, called Hala Ranch, is larger than the White House.

Muslim Brotherhood, reportedly financed by the CIA

From P II: An American Pinay Circle, we learn:
"The early 1970s also brought Saudis recruited by the CIA to train at American military bases, including Prince Bandar bin Sultan.
"Bandar has long been an ally, if not an asset, of the CIA.
"When DCI William Casey wanted a cell of alleged terrorists killed, King Fahd sent Bandar to Langley to make the arrangements. The plan backfired when the subsequent car bombing took
down an apartment building near Beirut, killing 80 innocent civilians.

"After September 11, 2001, Bandar would fall under suspicion when it was discovered that two of the terrorists involved were found to have received financing from the Prince.
"Bandar was trained at Ellington AFB near Houston. (Source: Lois Battuello)...

"The CIA funded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1977, and trained Mujahadin to support Hekmatyar of the Brotherhood in Afghanistan.
"The fundamentalism-happy Muslim Brothers have served the CIA operationally for some 40 years, an arrangement rubber-stamped by Allen Dulles, Frank Wisner and Kermit Roosevelt.

"Airline hijacker Mohammed Atta was ID'd as a Muslim Brother in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times shortly after the jet attacks on the World Trade Center. So were Khalid Shaik Mohammed and Ramzi Yousef..."

Bandar's US Mansion

According to Wikipedia, Bandar helped negotiate the 1985 Al Yamamah deal, a series of massive arms sales by the United Kingdom to Saudi Arabia worth GB£40 billion (US$80 billion), including the sale of more than 100 warplanes.

After the deal was signed, British arms manufacturer British Aerospace (now BAE Systems) allegedly funnelled secret payments of at least GB£1 billion (US$2 billion) into two Saudi embassy accounts in Washington, in yearly instalments of up to GB£120 million (US$240 million) over at least 10 years.

Bandar allegedly took money for personal use out of the accounts, as the purpose of one of the accounts was to pay the operating expenses of the prince's private Airbus A340.

According to investigators, there was "no distinction between the accounts of the embassy, or official government accounts [...], and the accounts of the royal family."

The payments were discovered during a Serious Fraud Office investigation, which was stopped in December 2006 by attorney general Lord Goldsmith.[7] [8]

On 15 February 2008, The Guardian has a story entitled: BAE: papers reveal Saudi threats

In 2004, the UK's Serious Fraud Office began an investigation into arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

It was The Guardian which reportedly had discovered massive secret payments were going to Saudi princes, to promote arms deals.

Tony Blair eventually halted the fraud investigation, claiming that this was necessary in order to continue cooperation with Saudi Arabia in intelligence matters.

From The Guardian, 15 February 2008:

"Saudi Arabia's rulers threatened to make it easier for terrorists to attack London unless corruption investigations into their arms deals were halted, according to court documents revealed yesterday."

This looks like a piece of anti-Moslem fearmongering, of the sort that might be enjoyed by MI6?

Prince Bandar, the head of the Saudi national security council, and son of the crown prince, was alleged in court to have threatened that he might not cooperate with the British over security matters.

Prince Bandar is alleged to have received £1bn in secret payments from the arms company BAE.
Anti-corruption campaigners have now begun a legal action to overturn the decision to halt the fraud case. They want the original investigation restarted.

There are certain questions that The Guardian does not ask:

1. Are the Israelis trying to stop UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia?

2. Is the US arms industry trying to halt UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia?

3. If there is a terror attack in London, is it likely that the British Security services or the Saudi security services will know more about it?

4. Was the fraud investigation halted, not because of any fears of terrorism, but because of a wish to continue profitable arms deals?

Saudi Arabia and Lingerie

2009-06-13T09:36:00.000-07:00

Princess Maha al-Sudairi is one of the top members of the Saudi royal family.

Her husband, Prince Nayef, is interior minister and second-in-line to the Saudi throne.

In June 2009, it was revealed that Princess Maha is in trouble and is claiming diplomatic immunity in France.

She is staying in her £2,500-a-night suite at the George V Hotel in Paris.

Her problem is that she has run up unpaid shopping bills of more than £15 million.

This includes £60,000 spent on designer lingerie.

Saudi princess runs up £15 million shopping bill

In 2005, a Saudi Princess was arrested in Massachusetts for enslaving two Indonesian women (as reported at the Saudi Institute).

In 2001, in Florida, Princess Buniah al-Saud, a niece of former King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, was charged with beating her Indonesian servant and pushing her down a flight of stairs.

In 1995, in Florida, Princess Maha Al-Sudairi, wife of the heir to the Saudi throne was accused of beating her servants while visiting Orlando. (Saudi Princess Jailed On Charges Of Beating Servant - Orlando News.)

Why an Arab-Iraeli alliance may be difficult to arrange

2009-05-24T09:30:00.000-07:00

Israel would like certain Arab countries to ally with it against Iran.

Saudi arabia, Egypt and Jordan are worried about the power of Shiite Iran.

But there are reasons why an Arab-Iraeli alliance may be difficult to arrange.

Reportedly, people within the Obama regime want to keep in with Iran.

(USA to ally with Baluchistan, India, Iran and Militant Moslems?
Factions within the US government.)

On 21 May 2009, Rufiz Hafizoglu, at Trend news, wrote about an Arab-Jewish union against Iran.

Arab-Jewish union against Iran: Trend News commentator

Among the points made:

1. Netanyahu has been to Jordan and Egypt.

He has said that Iran's nuclear program is dangerous for the region and that Israel is ready to cooperate with the Arab world to solve this problem.

He wants an Arab-Jewish anti-Iranian union.

2. The Secretary General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, stated that it is nuclear-armed Israel that presents a threat to the Arab world nuclear view, not Iran.

"Why has the nuclear program [Iran] become the subject of debate, but nobody protests against Israel's nuclear program?" Amr Moussa asked.

3. However, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are concerned about Shiite Iran.

4. Jordan is concerned about the establishment of the "Shiite crescent", which could include Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.

Iraq has fallen under Iran's influence and in Iraq the "Mehdi Army" has fought against the coalition forces.

Shiites gained a majority in the parliamentary elections in Iraq.

5. The armed clash between local Shiites and government forces in Yemen in 2009 has forced the traditional Sunni Arab countries to think of the serious danger in the face of "Shiite crescent."

6. Saudi Arabia worries about Hezbollah in Lebanon. In 2006, during the 34-day war between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah, one of the best-known scholars of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah ibn al- Jibrin banned not only assistance, but also prayer for Hezbollah's victory.

7. In late 2008, during Israeli operations in Gaza, Iran and Hezbollah did not give military support to Hamas, but they gave moral support.

8. Iran has great prestige among the Muslims.

There are some Shiites in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen and UAE.

Shiites live in the regions rich in oil.

9. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has always had close ties with Iran and Shiite Muslims.

10. Turkey, Israel's closest ally in the Middle East, has become less close to Israel, as can be seen from Erdogan's speech at Davos.

Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Boys

Shiites and Sunnis in Saudi Arabia

2009-04-02T04:02:00.000-07:00
In June 2006, Armed Forces Journal published this map from Ralph Peters, a prominent American strategist. www.oilempire.us/new-map.html

Saudi Arabia is mainly Sunni, but it has an 'unhappy' Shiite minority.

Rumour has it that the USA and Israel might eventually want to break up Saudi Arabia and grab Saudi Arabia's oil.

Saudi Arabia is aware of the power of Shiite Iran.

The Associated Press, on 1 April 2009, reported that the Saudi government is cracking down on Shiite dissidents
In the poor Shiite town of Awwamiya in Saudi Arabia, a cleric has threatened a break-away of his region from Saudi Arabia.
This Shiite area has an "increasingly restive religious minority".

And it lies on top of Saudi Arabia's main oil reserves.

Cleric Sheik Nimr al-Nimr has threatened to break away if Saudi authorities don't treat Shiites better.

Shiites make up 10 percent of the Saudi population of 22.6 million and they complain that they are barred from key positions in the military and government and are not given a fair share of the Saudi Arabia's wealth.

Pakistan, Cricket, Mossad, Saudi Arabia, CIA

2009-03-04T01:42:00.000-08:00
A strategically important region.

1. Someone appears to want to get Pakistan and India into a war.

Why?

1. To weaken and divide Pakistan, and possibly India.

(The Iran-Iraq war was designed to weaken Iran and Iraq)

2. To make money for the military-industrial complex.

3. To frustrate China, which is a friend of Pakistan.

4. To make it easier for the powers-that-be to control strategically important parts of Asia.

5. To reinforce the idea that Moslems are a bunch of terrorists.

2. "Cricket matches between Pakistan and India, dubbed cricket diplomacy, are credited with healing the rift between the two neighbors and paving the way for peace talks in 2004." (Attack on cricket team shakes Pakistan)

So, the bad guys do not want cricket matches.

Pakistan's spooky Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik, allegedly a friend of Mossad, said: "If foreigners are attacked, we will not have foreign investment." (Attack on cricket team shakes Pakistan)

3. In Pakistan, Lt. General (retd.) Hamid Gul, a former head of Pakistan's ISI security service, told one TV channel that India's RAW security service got Sri lanka's Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam to carry out the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket bus in Pakistan. (In Pakistan, India is emerging as prime suspect)

India's RAW is reported to be close to Mossad. (RAW & Mossad: The Secret Link)

In 2006, this map, prepared by retired US Col. Ralph Peters, was presented at the NATO’s Defense College in Rome. It shows Iran reduced in size, by having a Free Kurdistan and a Free Balochistan. It shows Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey and other countries losing territory.

4. Sistan-Baluchestan is a province in the southeast of Iran, bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan.

On 8 Dec 2008, we read Saudis 'behind Jundullah hostage taking'

In June 2008, sixteen Iranian police officers were abducted by Jundullah (Soldiers of God) terrorists at a checkpoint in the southeastern city of Saravan in Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan Province.

Jundullah, is linked to al Qaeda (CIA), and was formerly headed by alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (theinformer.vox.com/library/post/us-recruits-...)

A report reveals Saudi Arabia supported Jundullah in carrying out this hostage taking in Iran.

The report reveals Saudi Arabian intelligence agencies were behind the abduction.

The Arabic Nahrainnet website cited sources in Pakistan's Peshawar on 8 December 2008 who claimed that Saudi Arabian intelligence agencies have significantly increased the number of their covert operations.

The sources also reported that Saudi Arabia has extended its channels of communication across Pakistan and particularly Peshawar over the past three months.

According to information obtained from sources in Peshawar, Saudi Arabia has been directly supporting Jundullah to carry out the hostage taking of Iranian police officers.

The report claims Saudi Arabia and the CIA have been using Jundullah to destabilize Iran.

In July 2008, Pakistan's former Army Chief, General Mirza Aslam Baig, said Jundullah is the main recipient of US financial and military aid.

Bush sanctions 'black ops' against Iran - Telegraph

Baig said Washington has been providing Jundullah with training facilities to fuel unrest in the area and strain Tehran-Islamabad relations.

ABC News, in 2007, citing US and Pakistani intelligence sources, said that the group, which "has taken responsibility for the deaths and kidnappings of Iranian soldiers and officials", "has been secretly encouraged and advised by American officials."

In another report in July 2008, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh revealed that US Congressional leaders secretly agreed last year to President George W. Bush's $400-million funding request for a major escalation in covert operations in Iran.

Jundullah was formerly headed by alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad. ( theinformer.vox.com/library/post/us-recruits-...)

5. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the so-called mastermind of 9-11, is believed to have attended college in North Carolina.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed worked for the CIA in Afghanistan. (http://www.nogw.com/cia.html)

In Manila, he met associates in karaoke bars and giant go-go clubs filled with mirrors, flashing lights and bikini-clad dancers. He held meetings at four-star hotels. He took scuba-diving lessons at a coastal resort. When he wasn't with the go-go dancers, he courted a Filipina dentist.

Once, he rented a helicopter and flew it over her office, then called her on his mobile phone and told her to look up and wave. Other members of the terror cell Mohammed led had local girlfriends as well. (Dancing girls and romance on road to terrorist attacks - smh.com.au)

The real Shaikh Mohammed is considered by many analysts to be an agent of the Pakistan intelligence service ISI, which is generally considered to be controlled by the CIA.

Robert Fisk, 3 March 2003, in the Independent, wrote:

"Mr Mohammed was an ISI asset; indeed, anyone who is 'handed over' by the ISI these days is almost certainly a former (or present) employee of the Pakistani agency, whose control of Taliban operatives amazed even the Pakistani government during the years before 2001. Mr Pearl, it should be remembered, arranged his fatal assignation in Karachi on a mobile phone from an ISI office." A Breakthrough in the War on Terror? I'll Believe it When We See ...

US counter-terrorism officials claim Shaikh Mohammed was in Germany before the 9 11 attacks, liaising with Mohamed Atta. A secretive U.S. eavesdropping agency monitored telephone conversations. But, the Germans weren't told about it – and when they asked Washington for further information, none was forthcoming.

There was already a $2 million reward for Mohammed in 1998. In 2000, the CIA monitered his presence at an al Qaeda meeting, yet they didn't arrest him. Why wasn't the 9/11 plot discovered in June 2001 when US intelligence learned Mohammed was sending terrorists to live in the US. (Context of 'May 11, 2004: White House Gives Top Prisoner Access to ... )

And is the real Shaikh Mohammed still alive?

Asia Times, 30 February 2002:

"Ever since the frenzied shootout last month on September 11 2002 in Karachi there have been doubts over whether Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed head of al-Qaeda's military committee, died in the police raid on his apartment.

"Now it has emerged that Kuwaiti national Khalid Shaikh Mohammed did indeed perish in the raid, but his wife and child were taken from the apartment and handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in whose hands they remain." Asia Times

Saudi Arabia and Admiral Blair

Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

The Obama regime's spy boss, the notorious Admiral Blair, has given us some clues about which countries may be dismembered by the USA in the coming months and years.

1. On 12 February 2009, Admiral Blair told Congress that bin Laden could relocate.

"For example, he said, al-Qaeda elements in Yemen now pose a new threat to Saudi Arabia, whose own efforts have been successful in killing or capturing most al-Qaeda senior leaders in that country."

In Pakistan, "an intensified campaign against terrorists has failed to subdue multiple insurgencies or quell growing radicalism in many parts of the country." - Official: Economic Strife Poses Security Threat to US

2. "In February of 1975 the London Sunday Times revealed information from a leaked and classified US Department of Defense plan.

"The plan, drawn up by the Pentagon, was code named 'Dhahran Option Four' and provided for an invasion of the world's largest oil reserves, namely Saudi Arabia." - (Who Really Wants to Invade Saudi Arabia, and Why?) - Who can Saudi Arabia trust?

Obama on Arab TV

2009-01-27T12:31:00.000-08:00
Image from: http://mrssatan.blogspot.com/

On 26 January 2009, President Obama spoke to the Arab television channel Al Arab. (Obama's Interview On Arab Television)

The following is a transcript of what President Obama did not say.

AL ARAB: Mr. President, you are sometimes described as being a shitty Zionist.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you so much.

AL ARAB: You say you want peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis.

PRESIDENT OBOMBER: I'm absolutely confident that the United States, working in tandem with the European Union, with Russia, with all the Arab states in the region, can get these Palestinians removed from Palestine.

Our long term plan is for Israel to takeover most of Syria, all of Lebanon, half of Iraq, all of Jordan, and parts of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

The only peace Israel wants is: a “piece” of Jordan; a “piece” of Syria; a “piece” of Lebanon; a “piece” of Egypt; a “piece” of Iraq; a “piece” of Saudi Arabia. LOL.

AL ARAB: Absolutely.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I do think that it is impossible for us to think only in terms of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and not think in terms of what's happening with Syria or Iran or Lebanon or Afghanistan and Pakistan.

We need Afghanistan for its heroin, as the profits from heroin get invested on Wall Street.

And, we are happy to ally with Iran, while we start to destroy Pakistan or Lebanon or Syria.

AL ARAB: There will be no Palestinian state?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I'm not going to put a time frame on it. LOL.

Is a child in the Palestinian Territories going to be better off?

Have the children in Iraq been having a wonderful time?

photo: Incog Man

AL ARAB: Absolutely.

You are planning to address the Muslim world in your first 100 days from a Muslim capital.

How concerned are you – there is a demonization of America.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Absolutely. We are demons. Look at Vietnam.

AL ARABIYA: Al Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think that when you look at the rhetoric that they've been used to help get me into office .

We finance and control all these fundamentalist groups, like the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda.

AL ARAB: I know, I know.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: There's no action that these al Qaeda guys have taken that helps a child in the Muslim world to get a better education, or better health care.

And that's how we like it. We put the Ayatollahs into power to keep Iran backward and feudal, and to act as a tool against Russia.

In my inauguration speech, I spoke about: You will be judged on what you've built, not what you've destroyed.

And what the USA has been doing is destroying things.

We try to destroy all rival powers. Watch out India! LOL.

And over time, I think the Muslim world has recognized that what the USA wants is yet more death and destruction.

I was brought up by my grandmother, and she was certainly not a Muslim.

You know I lived in a Muslim country.

AL ARABIYA: The largest one.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: We control Indonesia, through the military.

We put the dictator Suharto into power in Indonesia and we gave Suharto's people a list of people who were to be murdered. Up to one million died. LOL.

My mother knew all about these things.

If you look at the track record, as you say, America has a long history of keeping tyrants in power in Muslim countries.

We put Saddam into power and we keep the Saudi royalty in power.

But ultimately, people are going to judge me not by my words but by my actions and my administration's actions.

And I am going to bomb the hell out of Pakistan and kill lots of little Moslems.

And the CIA will continue to get various foreigners to torture innocent Moslems.

AL ARAB: President Bush pretended that 9 11 was not an inside job.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: We are going to pretend that we are on the side of moderate Moslems. LOL.

AL ARAB: Will the United States ever live with Iran?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: We are happy to sell nuclear stuff to any country that wants it.

But, you know, my country, Israel, is the only nuclear power in the region.

Who is behind the drop in oil prices?

2009-01-01T08:08:00.000-08:00
Kissinger does not want Moslem countries to become too rich and powerful.

On 15 September 2008, Henry A. Kissinger and Harvard's Martin Feldstein wrote about how they would like to see oil prices reduced.

(The rising danger of high oil prices - International Herald Tribune)

They suggested that "the expectation of change will reduce the price of oil."

In other words, the price will come down if people like Kissinger tell the world that the USA and its friends are going to arrange changes to supply and demand.

Harvard professor, Martin Feldstein
Their objection to high oil prices are:
First, a portion of these vast oil revenues are passed on to radical groups ... such as Hezbollah.
Second, revenues from high oil prices are recycled into ... sovereign wealth funds ... which invest these surpluses in ... developed countries.

"Abu Dhabi has more than $1 trillion of investable funds.

"The explosive rise in oil prices has tempted more assertive policies.

"Resources are being shifted ... to the outright purchase of American and European businesses.

"As these new investments multiply, they may tempt the creditors into a growing influence over Western economies...

"The foreign policy of industrialized nations must not become a hostage to the oil producers.

"The industrial nations must find ways to discourage the creditors from threatening to sell, or actually to sell, large quantities of U.S. bonds...

"The major consuming nations - the Group of 7, together with India, China and Brazil - should establish a coordinating group to shift the long-term trends of supply and demand in their favor..."

USA versus Russia in Yemen?

2008-11-20T09:17:00.000-08:00

1. Mossad and the CIA like the idea of controlling Yemen.

But, Russia is said to be moving closer to Yemen.

On 21 October 2008, we read: Russia May Revive Yemeni Naval Base

"Sergei Mironov, speaker of the... upper house of the Russian Parliament, said Yemen and its main port of Aden could become a center for the Russian navy to fulfill 'strategic goals' in the coming years.

"Mironov made his comments during a visit to the Yemeni capital, Sanaa (October 2008).

"In reporting his remarks, RIA Novosti noted they were made in the context of the growing piracy threat off the horn of Africa and in the southern Red Sea. It said 'authorities in Yemen already have been calling on Moscow to help fight piracy and possible terrorist threats.'

"'It's possible that the aspects of using Yemen ports not only for visits by Russian warships, but also for more strategic goals will be considered,' Mironov told reporters.
A Russian-manufactured armoured car in Yemen (North Yemen Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -)

"Mironov also suggested Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh might pay a state visit to Russia soon, and the possibility of renewed military technical cooperation between the two countries could then be discussed.

"Pirates based in chaotic Somalia on the other side of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden from Yemen last month extended their activities closer to the Yemeni coast when they captured a Panamanian oil tanker.

"Mironov stated that Yemeni authorities had expressed concern that terrorist forces linked to the al-Qaida organization could be operating in Somalia and off its coast and that they might seek to carry out attacks in the Arabian Sea, which carries much of the world's oil export sea traffic from the Persian Gulf."

2. So, Mossad and the CIA might want to destabilise the government of Yemen.

Reportedly, Yemen's oil is running out.

Yemen 'faces crisis as oil ends'

The World Bank predicts that by 2017, Yemen's oil and gas revenues will be zero.

The Royal Institute for International Affairs warns that this could lead to political instability which could expand to northern Kenya and Saudi Arabia.

It describes Yemen's democracy as "fragile" and refers to armed conflicts with Islamists and tribal insurgents.

Yemen is described as a democracy, but there is said to be a tribal system of patronage around President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

The president faces conflicts with tribal groups and faces 'Islamist' insurgents.

Yemen is next to important shipping routes and is close to the Suez Canal.

3. In September 2008, Yemen reportedly uncovered a network of 40 Mossad spies.

Yemen Observer

"The network was comprised of 40 people from different Arab nationalities spying for Mossad, the Israeli international intelligence, said sources from National and Political Security Units.

"The members of the espionage network entered Yemen on the premise of conducting business, tourism and even for preaching in mosques.

"Saleh said that the suspected spies form a terrorism cell that uses also Islam to reach their targets.

"Members were arrested individually and found to be in possession of detailed maps for sensitive security sites, intelligence telecommunication units and advanced tracking devices."

Saudi Arabia has put extra money into the Saudi Credit Bank, a bank which gives interest-free loans to less well-off Saudis.

Kuwait has taken steps to prop up its second largest bank.

While oil-rich Scotland suffers, because its oil wealth gets stolen by England, the gulf is unlikely to have a recession.

“We are not calling for a recession in the gulf,” said Marios Maratheftis, regional head of research for Standard Chartered Bank in Dubai. “We are looking at a slowdown.”

Egypt, Jordan and Syria normally receive lots of money from those of their citizens living in the gulf.
