â??Al Qaedaâ??: A Figment Of The Fear- And War-Mongering Propagandists' Imagination [align=left] Damian Lataan
Wednesday April 25, 2007 [/align]
Yesterday the Australian Prime Minister John Howard and his band of fearmongering lunatics warned Australians gathering at Gallipoli for ANZAC Day to be aware of a â??terrorist threatâ??. In the UK Guardian today it is reported that the â??head of Scotland Yard's counterterrorism command said yesterday that al-Qaida had survived the six-year long "war on terror" launched by President George Bush and Tony Blair, and its central leadership had retained the ability to order devastating attacks on Britain.â?? As well as Gallipoli that is. And in Iraq, where it seems the Iraqi franchise of â??al Qaedaâ?? has claimed responsibility for the deaths yesterday of nine US troops.

So good is the â??al Qaedaâ?? franchise business that even the Israelis have tried to set up an â??al Qaedaâ?? shop in Palestine. Unfortunately the locals soon discovered that the business wasnâ??t genuine (apparently Mossad hadnâ??t paid bin Laden the franchise fee) so the business was quickly shut down.

Of course al Qaeda exists, or at least existed, (indeed, it was set up with the assistance of the CIA as part of their covert war against the Soviets in Afghanistan before the Taliban took over there) but it doesnâ??t exist in the way that the western neocon-dominated press would have us believe. Despite the continued references to â??al Qaedaâ?? everyday as we are told that they are responsible for every conceivable atrocity that occurs on our planet, there has not been any evidence whatsoever that â??al Qaedaâ?? per se has ever been responsible for anything beyond the borders of Afghanistan and the remoter parts of Pakistan.

The western propagandists have presented to the world a picture of an â??al Qaedaâ?? as being a massive and extremely well disciplined international organisation that has branches everywhere. Yet nowhere is there any prima facie evidence to suggest that they even exist, let alone in such an organised and disciplined way. As the piece in todayâ??s UK Guardian demonstrates, we are expected to simply believe what we are told with the total lack of evidence being conveniently explained away as; â??for security reasons we canâ??t divulge the sourceâ??.

In Iraq the US and their allies are currently busy trying to wedge the Sunni and Shiâ??ite factions by blaming â??al Qaedaâ?? for the friction between the two groupings. This is nothing new; theyâ??ve tried it before, but now they are putting more effort into their blame game because they see it as away of polarising the rest of Islam in the Middle East and beyond thus diverting attention away from the Israelis and their efforts to subdue Palestine, Hamas and Hizbollah but, at the same time, demonising further an Iran that has a predominately Shiite population (as against the rest of the Islamic world which is around 80% Sunni).

The problem for the US, Israel, and their western allies, is that all this propaganda is for consumption in the west only. The Middle Eastern peoples, Sunni or Shia, are very much aware that their relationships with each other are quite secure and have been for decades. For them the myth of â??al Qaedaâ?? remains just that â?? a myth, and that the struggles that exist between various Sunni and Shiite groups in Iraq are mainly a combination of political and criminal secular differences in a post-Saddam lawless era and that such violence, as bloody as it often is, is contained within Iraq and has nothing to do with the battles that Islamic peoples and Arabs generally are fighting against Israeli right-wing Zionism in Palestine and US hegemonic colonialism in the Middle East and Central Asia.
â??Al Qaedaâ?? remains, as it has since the US decided that they were to blame for the events of 9/11, a myth that exists solely to perpetuate fear and the illusion that there is always an enemy to justify the continued â??Global War on Terrorismâ??.

I looked through couple of articles here, and did not find a single mention of Jewish or American nationality.

Of course, whole Zionist agenda is based on the assumption that they represent all Jews everywhere.

Greg, it's pretty clear Damian is an anti-Semite. He denies it constantly but his words speak for themselves.

Have a good one!:s4:

Only Israel benefits from these endless Middle East wars. Iraq is the beginning. As we commit war-crimes in Baghdad, the US gov't commits treason at home by opening mail, eliminating habeas corpus, using the judiciary to steal private lands, banning books like "America Deceived" from Amazon and Wikipedia, conducting warrantless wiretaps and engaging in illegal wars on behalf of AIPAC's 'money-men'. Soon, another US false-flag operation will occur (sinking of an Aircraft Carrier by Mossad) and the US will invade Iran.. Then we'll invade Syria, then Saudi Arabia, then Lebanon (again) then .... I guess you left this one out, eh.

Can anyone say heil to the chief dictator for life Bush/Cheney??
