Yet in this era of White House political strategists exposing CIA operatives as fodder for vendetta, (a treasonable offense) upon verification of those I know, questions and inconsistencies within the evolving story began to expose themselves.
My second thought initially shock gave way to suspicion: This is rather
convenient, rather convenient indeed. Bush and Blair share a common problem, low approval due to the war on terror and the outrage by the people for being manipulated into such. Basically they've been shown to be liars. Fear remains the most effective tool in manipulating people. Bombing works well. INCONSISTENCIES Then I started looking for blatant inconsistencies. A lesson of nine-eleven oft ignored shows the embarrassing
details of a story come out in the first 12 hours...before the spinmiesters can delete inconvenient facts and the administration applies pressure to assure its agenda. For example: On 9-11 several explosions were heard before the miraculously perfect fall of the twin towers and building number seven. Another example includes the Pentagon attack. No plane wreckage, not a single suitcase, chair or fusillade, human remains or airline scrap was ever found at the Pentagon. Even the live broadcasts on ABC at the time of the crash...no jet noises in the
background. I've replayed it over 50 times. Ever live near an airport? Those planes make a lot of noise, especially during assent and descent. Nobody in all of Washington saw a low flying passenger plane. I find that strange. Millions live in the DC area. These are just some of many ignored details of America's terrorist attack yet to be answered. Now England joins the unfortunate fraternity of ever-growing targets around the world. THE COVER-UP BEGINS Two days after
the fact, what is being covered up? The initial reports show Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli Embassy were warned by Scotland Yard before the attacks to forego a speech scheduled near one of the blasts. Netanyahu chose to stay in his hotel room and missed the blast. Good for him. At least one person was saved.
Back to logic. If he could stay in his hotel room and miss the blast, a minimum 15-30 minute window existed, (time for him to leave the room, get to the location and set up) this means between the warning and blast, enough time existed to evacuate the trains en-route before the attack and get the passengers a safe distance away. Modern communications makes this possible. So why wasn't the transit authority warned? After the subway bombing in Madrid last year, they would have had a plan for evacuation and
containment. What happened? BURYING INCONVENIENT FACTS Twelve hours after the fact Israel's PR people began spinning this story of forewarning into post warning. Back up and think. It is only a warning if it happens before the event. You cannot warn someone after it happens. Semantics, but when uncovering propaganda, you have to look for the inconsistencies. That is where the spin is. The Associated Press story stands. It makes sense; the AP has nothing to gain and a lot to lose by
making this fact known. The details were prevalent, consistent and concise within the first hours of the event, well documented and credible. About four hours in, the story disappeared. Enter the spinmiesters for damage control. About twelve hours after the blast, Ha'aretz Daily, normally a credible source disappointed with an article attempting to make the warning "Post bombing". Post bombing
warning? That doesn't make sense.

Like the rest of London, Netanyahu would have known within five minutes of the first blast (26 minutes past between the first and last). Besides, it appears he may have been close enough to hear it. No need to "warn". The Israeli government has standard procedures for dealing with bombings. Like the United States and Great Britain, it is occupying another people's land against their will and its been doing it for 58 years. Bombings come with the territory. Like 9-11, we don't know who did this. The prevailing wisdom
cites A "Secret Group of al Qaeda's Jihad in Europe" said in a Web site posting that it was behind the explosions, and warned Italy and Denmark to withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan," the Italian news agency ANSA and al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper said. Again, convenient. Several issues regarding this don't make sense. The bombing is in London yet Italy and Denmark are told to
withdraw? Italy has been withdrawing. Rather redun-dant, don't you think? As for Denmark, their forces are minimal. The "War on Terror" is a British/US/Israeli operation, though nobody likes to admit Israel is one of the primary driving forces and beneficiaries of this war. Right now all we know is the London attackers claim to be Al Qaeda but not really Al Qaeda because it is an unheard of loosely associated Al Qaeda as yet unknown to intelligence...except Scotland Yard who warned
Israel of its attacks. Rather cryptic. If it turns out to be Al Qaeda, how do we know it's the real Al Qaeda? Take the false Al Qaeda cell busted in Rafah last year that turned out to be an Israeli intelligence operation. Oh wait, preliminary reports are showing WHITE guys did this. How are
they going to spin that into anti-Arab propaganda? Another inconsistency, you'd think if they were Islamic Extremists, they'd at least quote the Qu'ran correctly, right? Guess what, they didn't. What kind of Islamic
Qu'ran thumping terrorists cannot even quote their own book accurately? |

London is Burning-
by Gilad Atzmon
LONDON July 7, 2005: We are used to seeing images of horrors from the Iraqi capital. For most Londoners and Britons, those images are nothing more than a remote call from a foreign country. Somehow, most of us have managed to forget that it is basically our government who is responsible for the continued
horror in Iraq.
Today's images of horror are coming from London, seemingly, Baghdad and London appear to share a very similar fate.
I am sitting in my front room watching BBC 24 learning that the metropolitan police and the
emergency services are operating according to a plan. Clearly they all anticipated such an attack. A government that is fully engaged in some criminal colonialist activity better prepare its voters for the outcome of its policies. A minute ago I heard Tony Blair telling the nation that 'our' determination to defend 'our values' of life is greater than 'their' determination to cause death and destruction. I ask myself, what values is he referring to? Surely the
continuation of the robbery of Arab oil is a major value for Blair but it isn't my value. Tony Blair, a man who initiated a war without UN backing, a man with blood on his hands wants us to believe that he is really concerned about African poverty and climate changes.
Whether we like it or not, we must admit that Terror is a message and we better learn to listen to it attentively:
First, it tells us that we are as vulnerable as anyone else. Second , it tells us that we may have to let other people live their life according to their values and beliefs. Third, it tells us that we must never again give our votes to war criminals.
More than anything else it tells us that we have a moral duty. It is down to us to stop our
governments. It is our duty to stand up and to demand the resignation of Blair who is responsible for the death of so many Iraqis and arguably now many Innocent Britons. We must remember that voting in a non-ethical politician makes us all into active shareholders in a criminal company.
We know already that both in America and Israel the consequences of terror led the general public towards an endorsement of right wing zealously. I do hope that the British people will follow the
Spanish public's reaction. Warmongers and militant aggressors must be ousted from our political climate. Only then peace will prevail.

QUESTIONS LONDONERS
AND THE BRITISH PEOPLE should ASK Cutting through the propaganda, a few questions come to mind. 1) Why warn the Israeli Embassy and only the Israeli Embassy and not warn the transit authority, London police or even the mayor? 2) If this was
a set bomb versus a human bomb, those who died may have been saved with this notice. It takes less than 5 minutes to empty a subway train thanks to the numerous doors. Why only warn Israel when British lives could have been saved? 3) Shouldn't Scotland Yard be protecting British citizens first before visiting dignitaries? Why didn't they?
4) Why would the G-8 meeting continue if Scotland Yard had a credible terrorist threat? Does this remind anyone else of reading children's books about goats while another country is under attack? Doesn't it make sense to secure the leader(s) of the country under attack until you know what is happening? Even after the blasts, none of the leaders were moved to a different location. Wouldn't that be standard operating procedure in the event of an attack and if so, why wasn't it? 5) Why if Scotland Yard knew of a threat credible enough to warn Israel, did it also not warn security at the summit in Scotland? Isn't Tony Blair more important than Benjamin Netanyahu to England? If they had to pick someone to notify, wouldn't Blair take priority? Don't expect the mainstream media, at least in the US, to ask these questions. Though reported heavily in the dawning hours of this tragedy thanks to the
Associated Press, once the editors wrangled the raw material, omissions conveniently drop the fact Israeli concerns were warned ahead of time, a now familiar pattern. Prior to 9-11 Odigo, a lightly staffed Israeli company mysteriously received text messages to its employees telling them to stay home shortly before the first plane hit. The only other Israeli company, which occupied two floors in one of the fallen towers, moved out of the towers the first weeks of September that year. Neither events form conclusive evidence, but each begs
pause concurrent or apart. Now Israel is telling the Western Powers we must disarm Iran? Lest we forget, that is part two of their plan: Disarm Iraq, then Iran, Syria, Lebanon....How convenient. Is this like Cheney scribbling out a note five hours after the first plane hit to find something on Saddam to tie him to 911? As for the Bush and Blair administrations, yes, both continue to downplay the
Downing Street Memos, the nearly $9 billion missing in Iraq, the prison scandals, our illegal war and countless examples of profiteering. This bombing provides a convenient distraction from these issues and of course the catalyst of terrorism: Israel's continued slaughter of the Palestinians. The solution and end to terrorism is justice...not
more of the same. If British and American people desire to end these attacks on our soil we need to stick to justice. When we stop invading countries, forcing our culture on them and supporting other countries engaged in war crimes, genocide and apartheid, terrorism will stop. History proves this. It is the only way to win. Related Articles
