Daily Telegraph & Jerusalem Post on London terrorists

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - July 7th - 2005 - Immediately after the horrendous blasts in London, some of the newspapers of the Israeli information empire Hollinger* - in this case the Daily Telegraph and the Jerusalem Post - were able to inform about a hitherto totally unknown group called 'Organisation of al Qaida in Europe'.

An article was published under the name of Nayla Razzouk, and ante-dated for tomorrow, the 8th, titled: "Al-Qaeda issues new threats", of which the text follows below.

Otherwise, the group that is said to claim the terror attacks: 'Al-Qaeda Jihad in Europe', carries the same name as the title of a book - [http://tinyurl.com/crma5] - written by the known Israeli terror specialist Evan F. Kohlmann, a book about the Afghan-Bosnian Jihad Network. Kohlmann works for 'The Investigative Project' which is run by Steve Emerson, who is - to say the least - a not so well liked person in investigative journalism circles - http://tinyurl.com/9oana

Anyhow, here's the article:

Al-Qaeda issues new threats

By Nayla Razzouk

July 8, 2005 - A GROUP calling itself the Organisation of Al-Qaeda Jihad in Europe claimed the attacks in London and threatened similar strikes in Italy, Denmark and other "Crusader" states with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The attacks which left at least 33 people dead and scores injured in blasts which ripped through London underground trains and a bus have prompted the United States and European states to boost security and raise anti-terror alerts.

"Heroic mujahedeens carried out a sacred attack in London, and here is Britain burning in fear, terror, and fright in the north, south, east and west," said A STATEMENT POSTED ON THE INTERNET, WHICH COULD NOT BE AUTHENTICATED.

THE PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN GROUP said the attacks were "in response to the massacres carried out by Britain in Iraq and Afghanistan."

"We have repeatedly warned the government and people of Britain, and we have now fulfilled our promise and have carried out a sacred military attack in Britain," it said.

"We continue to warn the governments of Denmark, Italy and all the Crusaders that they will meet the same punishment if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan."

The group addressed the Arab and Islamic world, saying that "it is time to take revenge from the Crusader and Zionist government in Britain, in retaliation for the massacres that Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Britain is Washington's strongest ally in military operations in the Middle East and maintains over 7,500 troops in Iraq where the US coalition is facing a relentless and bloody insurgency.

Italy, another main strategic ally of Washington, has been deploying 3000 soldiers in Iraq since in June 2003 as part of the US-led military coalition and maintains a military presence in Afghanistan.

Denmark has deployed about 530 troops in Iraq, most of them in the Basra region under British command, and has a lighter deployment in Afghanistan.

Many of the attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan have been claimed by Al-Qaeda groups against which the US-led forces have been launching major military offensives.

The Al-Qaeda terror network, headed by Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden, claimed responsibility for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the New York World Trade Centre and the Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people.

In November 2003, a massive bomb blast claimed by the Al-Qaeda terror network on the Italian military base in Nasiriyah in southern Iraq has left 19 Italians and nine Iraqis dead.

The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades-Al-Qaeda organization, which has repeatedly issued threats against Italy, claimed responsibility for the March 2004 train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 people.

That same group also took credit for the November 2003 bombings in Istanbul which killed 25 people and attacks in August 2004 targeting tourist hotels and a gas complex in the Turkish city which killed two people.

Abu Hafs al-Masri was the head of Al-Qaeda military operations until he was killed in the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

Al-Qaeda linked groups have also abducted and often executed foreigners in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those included British and Italian nationals who were beheaded.

London Blasts Boost Bush & Blair

'Red Alert' all over Europe: Either MI5, MI6, Scotland Yard, the London Metropolitan police and the rest of their law enforcers are incompetent, or something else is going on. It's 9/11 revisited, including all the overused expressions.

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - Europe - July 7th 2005 - The question Who Profits? concerning the Madrid-like 9/11 scenes in London, where bomb blasts tore apart a bus and rocked five subways - will not be heard for a while. And also not heard nor seen for a while in all mainstream media - will be the valid protests against the US government's lies surrounding the 9/11 disaster and the illegal neocon wars fomented by many of the criminal heads of state, which also are present at the G8 meeting in Gleneagles.

The explosions have silenced many more than intended, and from that point of view the criminals who did this must be the stupidest terrorists around; boosting Bush and Blair's bad image at a time when opinion polls in all countries outside the US had them in the gutter, and when they needed a boost most. Because that is the immediate effect, apart from some hundreds of millions of profit in blood money made in the stock markets.

But also the protest movement has partly been wounded and is blasted away for a while, meaning the G8's Bilderberg-agenda with it's fake 'help' for Africa* can be accepted without further criticism or ado. And again for some time nobody will dare to criticize the permanent crimes against humanity in the neocon's War of Terror by the US and it's criminal allies, which is one of the main reasons for global resistance which is called terror.

Bush backing Dutch PM Balkenende - who is a 'christian' neocon shame for the country, said on dutch State TV during a press conference: ''that attention was heightened, especially at the borders'', like in other European countries and even in the US. The spineless Netherlands government is an abject, sorry example of an American 'Lapdog of War'.*

When this is written, some hours after the blasts, according to the BBC and of course CNN, there is a new 'arab' group with a 'terror claim': 'on a web site which also is used by al Qaida'. The terror in London is thus said to be claimed by 'a secret European branch of Al Qaida' nobody ever heard about before. Have a look: What's Al Qaida? - http://tinyurl.com/dbemg

THE US 'TRUTH MINISTRY'

As everybody reading this knows: anybody can set up a web site, and Donald Rumsfeld's 'Truth Ministry' in Washington and surroundings - the Lie Factory - as it's called, has spend hundreds of millions of american tax dollars, globally spreading 'fake news' already for years. Rumsfeld himself has confirmed it. A huge US neocon 'deception industry' fights the 'media war'; fervently brainwashing as many as is possible for as long as is possible, via their mainstream media too.

So, and again as usual, all major global mainstream media immediately followed in the tracks of the disgusting propaganda mills CNN and BBC, declaring the dreadful bombing to be 'an act of terror' by al Qaida, the 'Red Pimpernel' of the US neocon War of Terror.

A London police chief said that they had found traces of explosives at the scene of one of the blasts. One hopes it will be the task of an independent laboratory - and not a state one - to examine eventual evidence, making the test results acceptable.

At the same time avoiding the now ill famous fraudulent behavior before the illegal Iraq war started, when Bush and Blair with their crooked cronies decided long before that: "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

As stated in the uncovered famous Downing Street Memos* from mr. Dearlove, the head of the UK intelligence services.

ASLEEP AGAIN?

It is known that those - 'their' law enforcing groups - have all possible ultra-modern electronic possibilities, which are used to track everybody, including - they hope - all presumptive terrorists. Now it's said bombings or other terror acts can not be prevented, so apparently all the hundreds of millions invested could not find nor trace the whereabouts or movements of the barbarians, as Blair called them.

It must be quite a professional group again which planned and executed this horrible bombing, which - like in Madrid - must have taken a long time of planning and coordination, and that while anything 'arab' is under heavy scrutiny in all countries like England or Holland - slavishly following the scaring US neocon blueprint.

Metropolitan police Chief - Ian Blair - in his first statement via de state's BBC 2, hours after the blasts, said there was no need to worry about help: "This is something we have planned and prepared for", he confirmed, while in the meantime Sky TV reported that the army already was in the center of the City 'to maintain Law and Order'.

The immediate conclusion however must be, that all agents and other people responsible at MI5, MI6, Scotland Yard, the London Metropolitan Police, the 'Bobbies' in the street and all the locally 'spooking' secret and intelligence services like the CIA, the Mossad and others have been asleep again. Like they were asleep in the US when 9/11 was set up.

Condolences and sympathy of course should overwhelmingly go out to the families of the dead, and all people which have been wounded in 'England's 9/11'.

The perpetrators must absolutely be found and punished, without them disappearing in the American Gulag.*

WHOEVER IT MAY BE.

Redford on Bush: Where is the press?

FPF-fwd: this article is from The Sunday Times / South Africa.*

Where is the press? Redford on Bush.

Monday July 04, 2005 08:34 - (SA)

KARLOVY VARY - American movie star Robert Redford, who played reporter Bob Woodward in a film about the Watergate scandal, says he regrets that US journalists are not investigating the administration of US President George W. Bush.

"There are deep similarities going on but where is the press? where is the press?" Redford pointedly asked at the sidelines of a film festival in the Czech spa town of Karlovy Vary.

The actor played Woodward, who along with fellow Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein, investigated the Watergate affair that ultimately led to the resignation of Republican President Richard Nixon in 1974.

"There are strong similarities to what is going on, stone-walling, not telling the truth, getting people under wiretaps," Redford told reporters.

With reference to the Iraq war, he added that the US public continues "to be told things that are not true and what worries me is that we have these brave young American guys risking their lives everyday."

The Watergate investigation made headlines again recently when the reporters' source of key information, dubbed "Deep Throat," revealed himself to be Mark Felt, a former No. 2 at the FBI.

He helped the reporters expose the Nixon White House cover-up of the break-in at the rival Democratic Party headquaters in the Watergate building in Washingon.

Redford starred with Dustin Hoffman in a film version of the reporters' book about their investigative work, called "All the President's Men."

"When Deep Throat was revealed, the press came to me and wanted to know what I thought. I said, 'Well, it's interesting that his name came out but is that the point?'", Redford asked.

The point of the film he said was not Nixon but investigative journalism.

"My contribution was to come at a time when journalism was at its high point and the role I played was to save a testimony to the freedom of speech," Redford who was arguably at the height of his acting popularity when he made the Watergate film.

Redford said he does not see that kind of investigative work in the media nowadays - while journalism finds itself criticised more and more by the public.

"The media have changed, we see the ethics have changed," he said.

"The press is more, I am sorry to say, celebrity oriented," added one of Hollywood's biggest celebrities.

Redford, who founded the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, was given a lifetime achievement award on Friday at the Czech film festival, which runs until July 9.
