Dear Jeff,
Just a few weeks ago many Australians saw a
TV interview with a somewhat gruff US Ambassador to OZ who, seemingly upset
with the prevalent (majority) popular objection of Australian citizens to
Australia's involvement in the planned US military invasion of Iraq (or "Regime
Change" as it has become known in extant "Poli-Speak"), warned us that Australia
was not immune to Al Qaeda style terrorist action. Crazy as it seems at first
sight many who saw this interview gleaned his attitude to actually be
an unspoken but implied threat of terrorist action if we did not mend our
wayward non-compliant attitudes ....................
Our OZ ways have included a rising anguish at the
treatment of the Palestinians by the forces of Israel as directed by Sharon
and supported by Bush, AND a very widespread and fast setting view against
helping in the US plans for a military invasion of Iraq, coupled with an
increasing anger at the new Pax Americana planetary policies of Dubya's
USA.
Meanwhile in Europe the Germans were fighting
an internal political election battle over Yes-No re support for the planned
US military invasion of Iraq. The NO side won and Germany came down solidly
against any involvement in, or UN support for, the planned US-Iraq
war. Similarly France held out against the USA and, although willing
to support renewed UN site investigations, refused to back the US demand
for stronger UN resolutions that would automatically lead via a short
fuse to a rapid UN supported war on Iraq. Reportedly the vast majority
of other European populations are also dead set against this new US war.
Not only these peoples but also a very large percentage of Britons are similarly
dis-interested in this new American game - with it's very real risk of devolution
into World War III.
Then within a few days we were presented with fresh
Al Jazeera TV announcements (a) that Osama bin Laden (aka they seek him here
- they seek him there - the elusive pimpernel) was alive and well, and (2)
a message - reportedly from another Al Qaeda Chief - threatening terrorist
attacks against both French and German interests. These news items were
immediately followed by a terrorist attack - an explosive laden motor
boat against a French Super-Tanker off the coast of Yemen.
Back in OZ we simultaneously experienced nation wide
TV warnings by one Rohan Gunaratna, the author of "Inside Al
Qaeda". This previously unknown to us "expert on
terrorism" issued a specific warning that Al Qaeda members
have been trained to destroy targets in Australia, stating that he'd
been given the information during debriefings of captured Al Qaeda members.
Amazing how this author got access to these prisoners - the most tightly
held since the Gulag Archipelago - and national TV airtime across OZ - he
must have some very interesting connections ..................
Then last night there occurred the horrendous and
despicable terrorist bombings of two night clubs in Bali - frequented
predominantly by holidaying Australians. First reports talk of +182
dead (with the count expected to climb) plus hundreds wounded including many
horribly burned. These casualties include many young Australian, English,
German, Dutch, and Indonesian-Balinese.
Just what sort of "Muslim Terrorist" threatens to
bomb the persons and interests of people who are basically for Human Rights
in Palestine and against the US Dubya Bush plans for an invasion of Iraq
??? What sort of IDIOT would then do so and thereby ruin this genuine grass
roots support for their cause within Germany, France, Britain, Holland etc,
and Australia ???
Strangely unlike the Northern Irish or Basque terrorist
actions these latest bombings of people and assets have NOT been followed
by any public claims of authorship and their cause.
However this omission has been corrected by our
Australian TV which has been running pictures of Saddam Hussein and linking
the blasts to Al Qaeda or off-shoot SE Asian Muslim organisations - throughout
tonight's Bali Bombing News slots.
We are told tonight by our new ABC "terrorist guru"
- Rohan Gunaratna - that "ONLY Al Qadea have the intention and ability to
carryout such terrorist bombings as that in Bali".......................
I seem to recall an almost identical line being
spun on US TV - just minutes after the 9-11 New York Twin Trade
Tower incidents ..................... ONLY AL QAEDA can do this - NO ONE
else - do not forget this viewers !!!
Obviously the Al Qaeda group lack quality spin doctors
and planners amongst their other key personnel - the ones with the "sole
planetary ability to mount such terrorist attacks" - since better strategic
planning would presumably strike real enemies of the Muslim or Iraqi world
- not their potential or real allies.
Equally obviously such claims that Al Qaeda are the
ONLY possible sources of such terrorism are TOTAL bullshit. There exist many
state run and possibly other independent organisations with the ability to
mount such terrorist attacks. Even OZ's very own ASIO (a sort of low budget
CIA) managed to place a little bomb outside a Sydney hotel a few decades
ago - where Commonwealth Prime Ministers were meeting - they even blamed
a religious sect (Ananda Marga) for the action and death of a council worker
- not to mention their organising a series of wood chip factory bombings
across the land - all well researched after the event as attempts at political
interference to re-elect the Liberal Party to power. Not that I suspect our
little ASIO of being the source all of this recent rather oddly targeted
international terror.
Perhaps there is ANOTHER Third Party Agency at work
here ??? One that wants a war between the Muslim and Western Worlds. One
that wants to push the peoples of France, Germany, Holland, Britain, and
Australia into the US led "Clash of Civilisations" and against Iraq and the
Muslim world ??? One that wants to create a major World War ??? I wonder
just who this could be ??? As in solving all
crimes one must follow the motive and benefit line to it's logical
conclusion.
As events begin to spiral along out of control on
the road to a major war between Western and Muslim civilisation it behoves
us to get it 100% right and identify the true "Terror of Mankind" who is
running these inhumane actions - BEFORE we jump into aiding and abetting
planetary mayhem by joining the Dubya "Rape, Loot, and Pillage Mission.
The powers of darkness are unleashing the dogs of
war and we might just have time to put them back in their kennel - but time
is running very short mates.
