From 9/11 to 7/7: Crusade Intensifies

From 9/11 to 7/7: Crusade Intensifies

"There is not even a single shred of evidence available so far that could implicate Muslims. However, what is undoubtedly clear is that those who staged these terror attacks once again exhibited the sort of calculation and ruthlessness that has come to be associated with the ideology at the heart of the crusade in the name of a “war on terror”: Islamofascism."

The staged terrorist attacks are the occasions when even the most honest and sincere of us lose sight of the reality and start taking things on the face value alone. One can guess this from the statements of George Galloway and others who called it “shock and awe” in London.

Galloway considers that Londoners had “paid the price” of the increased likelihood of terrorist attacks for the UK government’s role in the attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan. However sincere such comments may be, they directly support the accusations without evidence which Blair put forward within minutes of the attack.

This was not a “shock and awe" in London because UK was not attacked by aggressors from outside after years of lying through their teeth to the whole world. It was just another inside job: another staged 9/11 to intensify the war on Islam. Follow the pattern to believe it.

Within hours the news on AFP site read: “Blair, analysts see Islamic link to London blasts.” Well, we deserve to take a look at those experts Blair relies on. Please note: Boaz Ganor, director general of Israel's International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism and Mordechai Kedar, a counter-terrorism analyst for Israel's public television.

Also note the language Blair used: “It is important however that those engaged in terrorism realize that our determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people in a desire to impose extremism on the world.” Didn’t Bush use the same words? Interestingly, even Paul Martin of Canada unnecessarily referred to "our way of life" and "freedom." Everyone was talking his heart and mind today without waiting for any clue as to who committed these horrible acts.

Blair brought Islam and Muslims into the fry right away: “We know that these people act in the name of Islam, but we also know that the vast and overwhelming majority of Muslims, here and abroad, are decent and law-abiding people who abhor this act of terrorism every bit as much as we do.” Does it ring the familiar bell of the clash of civilisations and blaming Muslims without a single shred of evidence available at hand?

Comparing what Blair uttered in the most irresponsible way to what Bush said on 9/11, one comes to the conclusion that Bush was far moderate in his allegation. Blair jumped from “our way of life” to “our values” and “their values” in a show of transparent, well rehearsed sophistry.

Bush directly referred to the beginning of a crusade after 9/11. See how Blair went far ahead without mentioning the word crusade: “We will show, by our spirit and dignity, and by our quiet but true strength that there is in the British people, that our values will long outlast theirs.”

Blair and Bush’s values are known to the world since they lied, invaded Afghanistan and then Iraq to continue brutal occupation and wreak terror into the lives of humiliated Iraqis. What we need to find here is the clues to this bombing from the public record available before the event unfolded on July 8, 2005 because it is confirmed that like 9/11 there would be no investigation. Even if there is any investigation, it would simply confirm what Blair had to say today.

Those who remember, the Indian Express and others reported Associated Press story on June 24 that BBC announced it would time delay “sensitive” news. Immediately, keen observers concluded that England would soon be the next site of a staged “terror” attack.[1]

Every word that we heard from Blair and his company shows that the recent bombing was a false flag operation designed to keep the West pitted against Islam. Even if we assume that 9/11 and 7/7 are handy operations carried by Muslims, we have yet to hear from someone that these attacks have been carried out “on a way of life” or “values” of the West. All these are fig leaves, used by those who have killed millions to impose their “values” and “way of life” abroad.

It does not take one to be a Muslim to understand what is going on. It only needs a cool mind to understand that the attack only benefits empires desperate to maintain a foothold in the Middle East without further eroding public opinion. Some reports show that Israeli embassy in London was warned before the attack and Israel insists that it doesn’t mean it has also carried out the attack.[2] Associated Press, however, reported that Nathanyahu change his planes due to bomb warning.[3] National Post in Canada also confirmed that the Israelis received warnings before the attack.[4]

Trying to spin their way out of this mess, Israeli embassy strongly denied early warning and claimed that it received the call after the first explosion.[5] But the claim that the call came after the first explosion doesn't work either because for almost an hour after that first blast it was still being reported as a power surge related accident.

Just this week, it was reported that England had drafted plans to pull out their troops.[6] Is the bombing a victory for Al Qaeda in this context? Are we to believe then that the orchestrated response to these plans was to blow up a double decker bus in England? Now, can you guess what the most likely response to such an event would be: Pull the troops out faster or galvanize public support, thus keeping the troops in Iraq?

To take advantage of the staged bloody game, almost instantly a previously unheard of Islamic group [7](The Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe?) took credit – even though the translation falls apart under scrutiny because the Qur’an is improperly cited.[8] This is just the beginning and the war lords are already giving references to “Islamofascists” in their Islamophobic magazines such as National Review.[9] Jerusalem Post came out with the headline: “Rules of Conflict for a World War” (July 07, 2005).

We must not forget that Madrid bombers were linked to Spanish Security Service,[10] and other reports from sources such as BBC cited suspects as police informants.[11] As the co-opted media analysts are trying to draw links between Madrid and London, let us not forget the part where the suspects were connected to the government.

Motive of the perpetrators is evident from the statement by Fox News' Brian Kilmeade, who said London terror attack near G8 summit "works to ... Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together" along with who really did it.[12]

So far no one has any clue. Note the absence of description of the suspected bomber on the bus in this BBC story, which shows that maybe the man with the bomb wasn't the "right kind": a Muslim with Middle Eastern features. (BBC Report: Passenger believes he saw bomber URL: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshire/4663853.stm). Imagine if the surviving passenger had described the suspect to be a Muslim.

What is undoubtedly clear is that those who staged these terror attacks once again exhibited the sort of calculation and ruthlessness that has come to be associated with the ideology at the heart of the crusade in the name of a “war on terror”: Islamofascism.
