And a lie can only blossom
And a lie can only blossom

According to media reports two Indonesian extremists by the name Amrozi and Ali Imran drove a truck laden with explosives and detonated their deadly contents at the resort, killing over 200 tourists and others. The incredible part of this story was when Indonesian police displayed Amrozi showing how he tied the explosives to his chest and went for the highly successful operation. All his victims died but Amrozi and his friend miraculously escaped death or injury. Of course it didn’t take long before independent researchers found out that the Bali bombing was actually a nuclear attack. A micro-nuke known as the ‘suitcase bomb’ because it is small enough to carry in a suit case, was detonated at Bali not an ordinary bomb.

According to late Australian investigative journalist Joe Vialls in his article ‘Zionist Nuclear attack on Bali Officially buried by western media,’ the micro-nuke detonated at the Sari Club in Bali caused whole human beings to vanish without trace and that ‘its searing thermal wave set fire to 27 buildings in the immediate area and spontaneously ignited automobiles parked two blocks away from ground zero.’ Before you dismiss this as another conspiracy theory know that Indonesia’s parliamentary speaker at the time, a man known as Amin Ra’is reached the same conclusions when he visited the site of the explosion in Bali.

About a month after the attacks Mr. Ra’is and his deputy A M Fatwa issued statements concerning the bombing. In Amin Rais‘ words ‘My conscience tells me he (Amrozi) is not a key actor. I don’t think he has the capability to make the necessary preparations for this kind of bombing, like setting off a micro nuclear bomb in Bali.’ Despite this, the two men, known to be mechanics from the Indonesian island of Java were tried and sentenced to death three years ago. Sheikh Abubakar Bashir, a famous Muslim scholar who also heads the most influential Islamic propagation and charity outfit in Indonesia, the Jema’ah Islamiah was sentenced to several years in prison for his alleged  ‘involvement’ in the bombing.

One can’t help wondering why Indonesian authorities wouldn’t investigate clues that point to facts at variance with the official story, like the huge crater at the bottom of the Sari Club left behind by the bomb, and the fact that suicide bombers had survived a mission that was successful in killing the targets, or the fact that all victims bodies were incinerated. But Bali alone cannot sustain the myth of Islamic terrorism as kindled by the fire of 9/11. So in August 2003 another one was staged at the Jakarta Marriott hotel. A man named Asmal was reportedly the suicide bomber. This time around they remembered to say that he had died in the attack.

But further investigations soon showed that it was a remote controlled bomb was detonated at the basement below the hotel. Its explosive power was so high it blew up the glass from the windows of all 25 floors of a nearby apartment building. In Baghdad that same month, a suicide bombing was reported at the UN head office there. The head of the UN mission Mr Sergio Vierra de Mello was killed along with 23 others. Again independent investigators found it to be another remote-controlled bomb detonated at the floor right below Mr. De Mello’s office. Media reports had indicated that Sergio de Mello had minced no words in telling the Americans that they had business remaining in Baghdad after their illegal invasion.

In Madrid in March 2004, rush hour bomb blasts targeted the Spanish on their way to work. Over two hundred were killed. Soon after a group of Moroccan immigrants was rounded up in their apartment and killed. Official reports said they committed suicide according to an Al Qaida suicide manual in their possession, which miraculously survived the heat in the burning apartment. They were accused of fixing bombs to the trains early that morning and causing the deaths of their generous Spanish hosts. Yet CCTV cameras, then available all over Madrid, had caught no ruck-sack carrying Moroccans as the official story claims.

The attack on Madrid was discovered to be a series of ten remote-controlled explosions. Other so-called Islamic terror attacks were reported in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in May 2003, at the Taba Hilton in Egypt in 2004, at North Ossetia, Russia in September 2004, in London on July 7th 2005 and another at Sharm-el Sheikh later that same month. What all these atrocities have in common is that they are alleged to be instances of Islamic terrorism. Didn’t the eloquent Goebbels say that ‘The bigger the lie, the more likely it is to be believed?’

Al-Qaida network

Though most of us may not believe this, but we had never heard the word ‘Al-Qaida’ before September 13th 2001. As late as September 11th 2001, the day of the alleged terror attacks, the Americans couldn’t name their enemy. Earliest reports said the chief suspects were elements belonging to a terror group led by Saudi dissident millionaire Usama Bin Laden. It was only two days later when the photographs and list of names of 19th alleged suicide-hijackers were released by the FBI that the terror group finally got a name. Three years earlier when attacks were staged at the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the same terror group headed by Bin Laden was named as chief suspect but it had no given name. The truth is Al-Qaida existed only as a database in the CIA.

When the Americans rushed to the Saudis and asked them to declare a jihad among Muslims because the Soviet Union had invaded Afghanistan in 1979, they had requested a royal Saudi to lead the volunteer Mujahideen. According to Ahmed Rashid, author of the book Taliban, no member of the Saudi Royal family wanted to volunteer for the mujahideen commander. But a deeply religious member of a wealthy and influential Saudi family offered to lead them. An engineer by training Bin Laden moved to Afghanistan to take control of the volunteers from all over the Muslim world who came to fight the Soviets. He had with him a computer where he had their names listed. He named the file, Al-Qaida.

When the war ended 10 years later the surviving members of Bin Laden’s list went back to their home countries as jihad veterans. But each one of them, whether living or dead was on the list called Al-Qaida. It remained a database in the CIA, because of the role the US played as mobiliser and trainer of the mujahideen. After 9/11 some clever agent decided that unless you can name your enemy you can’t make your claims against him believable. And the Al-Qaida network of imaginary Muslim terrorists was born.

Bin Laden’s falling out with both the US and Saudi Arabia happened around the same time, during the Gulf War of 1991. He was reported to be very critical of his government’s invitation to the Americans to come to their aid against Saddam Hussein. The government justified its stance that with Saddam on rampage and already in neighbouring Kuwait they needed the help of a superpower. After the Gulf War, Usama was said to have renewed his call to his royal mentors to refuse the American request for a permanent military base and send them packing. Having worked closely with the liquor-drinking and pork-eating Americans in, bin Laden reportedly developed a disdain for the Americans and couldn’t bear the thought of them so near to Islam’s holiest sites. And he didn’t mince words telling that to the Saudi royals. In the end Bin Laden lost out when the Americans succeeded in convincing the Saudis to strip him of his Saudi citizenship.

He moved to Sudan in the immediate aftermath and began humanitarian work that included building schools and hospitals. After the attack on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Bin Laden was again forced to leave Sudan due to pressure from the US which claimed it had to launch retaliatory attacks on Sudan and Afghanistan in the hunt for him. The Clinton administration also froze what were reportedly Bin Laden’s 300 million dollar assets. Usama moved to Afghanistan and became a guest of the Taliban in 1998. When several overtures towards the US-Afghan pipelines project were rejected by the Taliban, the Clinton administration saw the hand of Bin Laden in the failure but it didn’t have enough time to deal with him. The task was left to George Bush and his neo-con mad men.

In the Arabian Peninsula

The first time Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for a terror attack was after the killing of American engineer Paul M Johnson in Iraq in October 2004. Radio talk show host Jack Blood too more than a casual interest in the claim. He did a domain search for the internet address which published the claim, it was www.ansarnet,com. Jack Blood found out that this web address was domiciled at No 1333 North Stemmons Freeway Dallas. There, you see this is one Al-Qaida that is nowhere near the Arabian Peninsula. Incidentally it was also this same Al-Qaida ‘branch’ that claimed responsibility for Farouk Mutallab’s alleged misdeed. Do you now see the connection?

But it is on record that Bin Laden never claimed responsibility for 9/11. A recorded film reportedly found at Tora Bora caves which showed him boasting about the atrocity to a visiting cleric has long been rejected as doctored and its translation as inaccurate.

And can’t bear fruit

So what are the gains of this unwarranted American aggression? You have only to monitor the news daily to see how the Western world moves from one economic crisis to another. You have the American debt crisis, the Euro-zone financial crisis and you wonder what they are all about. But in the same way they teamed up together to uphold the official story of 9/11, so are they paying for the consequences of that conspiracy. Chased away by unnecessary harassment and Islamophobia, Arab tycoons moved their investment back to the Gulf and to faraway China. So without interest free Arab funds, the West is paying, and it will pay even more in future. Yes, the Western world is waking up to the harsh reality that like all others, 9/11 is one lie that can’t bear fruit.
