“The country’s biggest force, the Metropolitan police, is to lobby the attorney general… because officers believe that large sections of the population have become increasingly politicised”
A short time ago I had a little rant about the al-Qaeda myth that lots of folk seem to have bought into1 . Inspired me to think about assembling all the various bits and pieces of stuff I’ve amassed over the years and putting it all up on the main website (I’m still thinking about it at the mo’, mainly cos I really don’t relish the task of having to trawl through all the files I appear to have acquired!).
Anyway - talk about synchronicity - what should happen to pop up on MySpace today? This intriguing little clip; apparently its an excerpt from the documentary “The Power of Nightmares” that was broadcast by the BBC in 2004 - available in three parts on Google Video2 …
Listening to how Osama bin Laden became demonised into some sort of fiendish mastermind started ringing bells for me, a la “working to a tried and tested formula” so to speak. Anyone remember the Fu Manchu series of novels by Sax Rohmer?Returning to the 9/11 theme, I remain unconvinced that the attack could have been planned, organised, implemented, and indeed co-ordinated to such a remarkable degree (to say nothing of the events immediately following the initial attacks) absent State backing at a high level. And by”State backing” I refer at the very least to the support of one or more State intelligence organisations.Moreover, my understanding is that there’s perhaps only a half-dozen or so countries running Intelligence Agencies that’d be up to the task - and the only Middle Eastern country that’s included in that “half-dozen or so” is Israel; i.e., not Iraq, not Iran, not Syria, etc etc. And of the others, we’re looking at the likes of the US, the UK, etc.Here’s a possible clue… look at which countries have been cashing in most on the events of 9/11 to ramp up their security budgets, introduce seemingly endless legislation restricting the rights of their citizens, introduce even more seemingly endless legislation giving ever greater powers to the State, and so on.Go figure!Looking at how the mainstream media are so quick to debunk and discredit “conspiracy theories” one can’t help wonder why they’ve so avidly bought into the al-Qaeda myth (when just basic research would raise some very penetrating questions) which is arguably one of the biggest conspiracy theories doing the rounds.
