US-Canada Claim Iran-Al Qaeda Ties Despite US Funding Al Qaeda in Iran for Years

Region: Canada, Middle East & North Africa

Theme: 9/11 & ‘War on Terrorism’, Intelligence

As the FBI reels from what now appears to be revelations it was directly involved in the Boston Marathon bombings, a deluge of FBI “success” stories have been “serendipitously” splashed across Western headlines. Among them was an allegedly “foiled” terror attack in Canada, reported to be the work of terrorists supported by “Al-Qaeda operatives in Iran.” The Globe and Mail, in its report, “Canada joins U.S. in alleging al-Qaeda has operatives based in Iran,” states:

“To many, it came as a surprise that the RCMP is alleging that two terror suspects arrested in Canada on Monday were supported by al-Qaeda operatives in Iran.

The Sunni-based al-Qaeda and Shia Iran belong to different branches of Islam that have been at odds historically. But in recent years U.S. officials have formally alleged that Iran has allowed al-Qaeda members to operate out of its territory.”

Both at face value and upon deeper examination, this assertion is utterly absurd, divorced from reality, and indicative of the absolute contempt within which the Western establishment holds the global public. In reality, the West, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel in particular, have propped up and perpetuated Al Qaeda for the very purpose of either undermining or overthrowing the governments of Iran, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Algeria, Libya,  Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and beyond.

Regarding Iran in particular, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his 2007 New Yorker piece titled, “The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?” would state:

To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

In a follow up, Hersh in his 2008 New Yorker piece titled, “Preparing the Battlefield: The Bush Administration steps up its secret moves against Iran,” spelled out a damning indictment of US involvement in bolstering, arming, and funding terror organizations, not linked to, but described as actually being Al Qaeda.

Of American support for Al Qaeda the report states (emphasis added):

The Administration may have been willing to rely on dissident organizations in Iran even when there was reason to believe that the groups had operated against American interests in the past. The use of Baluchi elements, for example, is problematic, Robert Baer, a former C.I.A. clandestine officer who worked for nearly two decades in South Asia and the Middle East, told me. “The Baluchis are Sunni fundamentalists who hate the regime in Tehran, but you can also describe them as Al Qaeda,” Baer told me. “These are guys who cut off the heads of nonbelievers—in this case, it’s Shiite Iranians. The irony is that we’re once again working with Sunni fundamentalists, just as we did in Afghanistan in the nineteen-eighties.” Ramzi Yousef, who was convicted for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who is considered one of the leading planners of the September 11th attacks, are Baluchi Sunni fundamentalists.

The report would continue by stating (emphasis added):

One of the most active and violent anti-regime groups in Iran today is the Jundallah, also known as the Iranian People’s Resistance Movement, which describes itself as a resistance force fighting for the rights of Sunnis in Iran. “This is a vicious Salafi organization whose followers attended the same madrassas as the Taliban and Pakistani extremists,” Nasr told me. “They are suspected of having links to Al Qaeda and they are also thought to be tied to the drug culture.” The Jundallah took responsibility for the bombing of a busload of Revolutionary Guard soldiers in February, 2007. At least eleven Guard members were killed. According to Baer and to press reports, the Jundallah is among the groups in Iran that are benefitting from U.S. support.

The manifestation of this insidious conspiracy can be seen playing out across Syria in which US-backed terrorists openly operating under the flag of Al Qaeda are locked in a catastrophic sectarian bloodbath with the Syrian people and the Syrian state’s closest ally, Iran. The conflict in Syria exposes that the machinations revealed back in 2007-2008 by Hersh, are still being carried out in earnest today.

Clearly, US-Canadian claims that Iran is somehow involved in harboring Al Qaeda within its borders, when it has been the West for years propping them up specifically to overthrow the Iranian government, are utterly absurd. In reality, while the West uses Al Qaeda’s presence both within Iran and along it peripheries to undermine and ultimately overthrow the Iranian government, it in turn uses these very terror organizations to induce paralyzing fear across Western populations in order to consolidate and expand power at home.

New Normal Terror Attack

Excellent article about conditioning by Tony Soldo at The People’s Voice .org (E)

By Tony Soldo

One of the objectives of the false flag Boston Marathon bombing terror attack, was to create fear, confusion, anger, and hatred, in the subconscious minds of the masses, the millions of people who absorb and accept the “New Normal”, whenever the people in power implement a tactic or agenda

(Problem).

After the media saturates the minds of the masses, the government has a greater role in their lives to rule over them and control them.

The media conditioned the masses to cheer the police and soldiers after the suspect was caught, and the whole city of Boston came out of their houses, cheering the soldiers and police, waving their flags, and singing the national anthem

(Reaction).

Now, anytime there is any kind of attack or even a suspected threat, the government can just lock down a whole city, send in the troops, stop and search anyone, go door to door, invading homes, forbidding Citizens to leave their houses, and businesses to close, etc…and the majority of people will not only allow this “New Normal”, they will cheer and sing while the oppressors are oppressing them.

(Solution).

The New Normal is a terror attack against the people, and the minds of the people.

Everything that happened after the False Flag Boston Bombing, was meant to create a new, expanded role of government and soldiers and police, on the streets of the USA.

They can violate the rule of law, the Bill of Rights, including the 4th Amendment, Posse Comitatus, Habeas Corpus, and the Miranda Act.

This False Flag attack will be used to expand the Police State, take away more of our fast evaporating freedom and liberties, but also they will use this crisis to pass laws and bills like the CISPA act, that allows the government to extract all personal information on anyone from any source, without a warrant, and pass tougher laws demanding deeper background checks, and create a grid where all of our personal information can be stored and shared by any and all law enforcement, instantly.

Look for these measures to be hidden in any new immigration reform bills (the terror suspects will be presented as an example for stronger background checks).

And also, this attack will give the politicians more “ammo” to pass more laws taking away the people’s right to keep weapons to defend themselves.

All major False Flag Events serve many purposes, and this one will serve at least three, creating the new normal in our society and nation.

1) Police State, with troops and cops patrolling the streets, searching people and homes, whenever there is any standoff (threats, or even bank robberies and other domestic crimes).

2) More information gathering, storing, and sharing, on all of us.

3) More laws limiting and restricting the people’s right to protect themselves with weapons.

Add to that two more aspects of the expanding Police State:

More cameras on the streets, and more public announcements encouraging people to spy on their neighbors and report suspicious behavior.

These new normal conditions would be impossible to implement all at once, but, when down incrementally, step by step, over time, they are almost impossible to stop.

The only hope is Citizen activism.

Start researching issues and topics like: state sponsored false flag terror, police state, martial law, war profiteering, corporate colonialism, and individual liberty, and human rights.

Then find alternative information and news sites that don’t play the left / right game, but rise above to show the big picture of how our individual freedoms and liberties are being stolen from us and the people in power are actively gaining more power and more wealth, everyday, and they will never stop on their own, like any addict, they can’t stop.

They are addicted to power and money, and they need intervention.

These power hungry people are operating in Washington DC, and on Wall Street, they are nothing more than businessmen and actors, playing a role, they are no better than you or I, and do not deserve our respect, allegiance, or obedience.

The most important thing you can do is start talking to everyone, your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and complete strangers.

Share with them some new information that you are discovering while searching alternative sites for truth hidden from us by the mainstream media and the government.

Stop getting your news from these two sources, (Mainstream Media, and Government), question everything you see and hear, use your critical thinking skills, and separate the truth from the lies, and encourage everyone around you to do the same.

Take all that you find, that is good and true, and move forward, leaving the bad, and the lies behind.

Peace.

Another False-Flag Operation

by Becky Akers
by Becky Akers
Recently by Becky Akers: The TSA: Always Infuriated at Taking What It Dishes Out

Be afraid – very afraid.

A tsunami of Yemeni mail-bombs is about to bury us: this week, “inspectors from the U.S. … [headed] to Yemen to monitor security practices and to try to find the holes in their system that allowed two explosive packages to leave the country. … a team of six inspectors from the Transportation Security Administration [TSA] will make recommendations and give Yemeni officials training to improve their cargo security.” That oughta have the mail-bombs absolutely flooding the ol’ Homeland.

Meanwhile, John “Show Us Yours” Pistole, chief deviant at the TSA, also “met on Wednesday with officials in Sanaa [Yemen]…” The excuse for John’s junket? “[Improving] cargo security practices,” of course. As if the TSA already had good ones in place or, even better, has ever “improved” anything it touched. And it’s touching a lot, believe me, including children’s crotches. Hmmm… Don’t Moslem countries cane infidels for such gross pedophilia? Here’s hoping Johnny and the six “inspectors” come home too sore to sit down.

We’ll also hope the assorted Yemeni officials forced to listen as these perverts prattled asked a few questions first. Such as, “Exactly how many terrorists has your TSA discovered? Say again? None? Are you serious? And your subjects aren’t in open revolt after 8 years of long lines and shedding their shoes for nothing? Wow. That’s pretty remarkable. And now they’re marching into your strip-search machines, give your screeners a thrill, they can even molest them all they like, and your subjects still aren’t defying your decrees? Wow, I mean … it’s just … wow, I haven’t heard of any regime anywhere imposing serfdom that stunning since the Middle Ages and primae noctis! Tell us how you did it!” Turns out The Gang of Seven may have much to teach Yemen’s thugs, though not about “cargo security practices.”

The TSA is not only utterly immoral, it is completely, mind-bogglingly incompetent. Anecdotes abound of the penknives, nail-clippers, normal-sized bottles of shampoo and other Weapons of Mass Destruction passengers have deliberately or inadvertently smuggled past its checkpoints: just peruse the readers’ comments on virtually any article concerning the agency. If you want “official” proof of its ineptitude, check out the reports from its own undercover inspectors or from the Government Accountability Office (HA!!!! Never accuse Our Masters of an irony deficiency). Screeners can leer at smutty scans until they go blind (oh, please, oh, please!), but the TSA will never protect aviation or passengers or anything but its own butt because it is inherently incompetent.

So for the agency to advise other nations [sic for “boss them around”] is akin to Bill and Hill’s counseling Chelsea on building a happy marriage: absurd at best and downright disastrous if heeded.

On the other hand, you and I are compensating Yemen to the tune of $300 million annually for Our Rulers’ arrogance: Comrade Obama “‘highlighted that the U.S. relationship with Yemen is focused on counterterrorism issues, ‘as well as building a stable and prosperous Yemen through economic and humanitarian assistance.’ [Yemeni President Ali Abdallah] Saleh ‘made a full commitment’ to cooperate with the U.S…” Oh, I’ll bet he did. Yo, Ali: how’s about we make a deal? From now on, we’ll keep the TSA’s nitwits home instead of advising your ears off, and you refund our money.

The Feds have certainly gotten mileage (literally, in The Gang of Seven’s case) out of Yemen’s mail-bombs, haven’t they? Those of us mesmerized by car crashes and the TSA discern a pattern in such “terror alerts,” beginning with the granddaddy of them all, 9/11. Somehow, these scares always occur just when Leviathan seeks more power. Congressional Democrats had been looking for a way to unionize airport screeners (see Susan and Joseph Trento’s Unsafe at Any Altitude: Exposing the Illusion of Aviation Security, pages 154 and 158), and bingo, 9/11 not only happens, it spawns the TSA. Richard Reid and his shoe-bomb followed four months later, “proving” the need for a barely-born bureaucracy that was nonetheless already under criticism.

Meanwhile, the TSA has lusted to photograph us naked since 2002. Taxpayers infuriated at such voyeurism forced the agency to postpone its wickedness until 2007. Even then, passengers continued resisting the technology everywhere the TSA tried to introduce it.

Until Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and his explosive Depends, that is. Blowing off parts of your body is perhaps the most dramatic but least effective way to bring down an aircraft, as Reid had shown. Yet Umar secreted his bomb in precisely the anatomical area best calculated to stampede Americans into the TSA’s Porn-o-Scans.

And so the TSA busily installed its X-rated X-rayers at airports across the country this year – 317 at 65 airports by the end of October, with another 1000 slated for next year and, eventually, for all 2000 concourses in the country. The TSA will then ogle and irradiate every passenger on every flight.

But as the inconvenience, delay, and devastating humiliation of naked scans hit passengers, they again rebelled, detonating diapers be danged. Pilots walked off the job rather than suffer such an outrage; presidents of pilots’ unions decried the TSA’s sexual assault of their members “that does nothing to improve national security“; passengers threatened corporations that they’ll stay home rather than patronize tourist-traps if it means the TSA will sexually abuse their kids.

And then to the rescue come the alleged Yemeni mail-bombs. “Give thanks for those who watch over us,” babbled one of Leviathan’s mainstream sycophants.

Coincidence? Or yet another charade our deceptive, diabolical Feds stage-managed?

There’s another reason to doubt Our Rulers’ contention that unelected, unappointed terrorists are stuffing their shoes, underwear, and mail with bombs: why would they bother? Explosives are expensive, hard to procure, and so temperamental that terrorists are likelier to blow up themselves than their intended target. You may be willing to tolerate these drawbacks if it’s the only way to incapacitate the enemy – but if he’s doing a fine job of it himself, or if there are far less perilous means of smiting him, why sacrifice yourself?

For instance, when you can create chaos at Newark’s oh-so-inappropriately-named Liberty International Airport by opening a door, why mess around with a bomb? “Late for their flight to Nashville …, a man, woman and teenage boy apparently tried to open a jet bridge door at the Terminal C gate area and triggered a door alarm …” They missed their flight, but that didn’t keep “Continental Airlines [from bringing] the plane back to the jetway, where all passengers were cleared. The flight departed 36 minutes late … Three checkpoints in Terminal C were closed for 10 minutes … While the shutdown lasted only a matter of minutes, it caused a backup of passengers … There were even lines of fliers snaking around terminal floors above and below the checkpoint level, with airport personnel blocking the tops and bottoms of escalators leading to the checkpoints.” See? Why fidget in uncomfortable underwear or hobble on hazardous shoes when it’s so much easier to simply open a door?

A harmless snow-globe can also bring the Amerikan Empire to its knees without even remotely endangering the terrorist. “State police Lt. J. Paul Vance says a Transportation Security Administration worker [sic for ‘leech’] spotted something that looked suspicious while screening bags and alerted state police shortly … Vance says Terminal A was evacuated as a precaution but was reopened about 45 minutes later, after authorities determined the snowglobe did not contain explosives and was not a danger.”

Terrorists could also run up a “down” escalator, hunt a restroom, or pack scientific equipment in their bags. Each innocuous action has thrown the TSA’s gutless wonders into a tizzy. They then complete the terrorist’s job for him of paralyzing aviation. So why endure the hassles of working with explosives? The prudent terrorist leaves that to the Feds.

“We face a determined enemy,” the pusillanimous Pistole warned us, “one who modifies their [sic] actions looking for any opportunity to exploit security.” Yep. Goons who exploited security to ogle and grope us used to wear stripes courtesy of the local jail; now their clothing comes from the TSA.

9/11 Explosions

It’s awfully hard to debunk eyewitness testimony and the sounds of explosions especially professional reporters on the scene who are confirming they heard similar explosions. (E)

From an article on Oct. 6 on infowars.com

Newly obtained video that was reluctantly released by NIST after a lawsuit by the International Center for 9/11 Studies shows two firefighters on 9/11 discussing how secondary explosions occurred immediately before the collapse of the twin towers, providing damning new evidence that explosive devices were used to bring down the buildings. Warning: Some 4 letter words by firefighters who’ve just come out of building. (E)

For further information on the recent release of NIST evidence that has been withheld from the American Public for 10 years read here: http://www.infowars.com/video-911-firefighters-reveal-huge-explosions-before-towers-collapsed/

Here Bush lies about when he saw the 1st plane.

Finally look at this video of the pentagon.
