Passengers, Bloggers Scorn Heathrow Bomb Scare
By John Leonard with Webster TarpleyWidespread scepticism met the latest terror scare from the land of Blair. No sooner had the first news reports aired than author Webster Tarpley wrote:
MI-5 SCRAPES BOTTOM OF BARREL (AGAIN) IN LUDICROUS HEATHROW TERROR STUNT
Tarpley is the author of "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA," a book which teaches readers how to recognize fake terror themselves.
During the day of Aug. 10th, a blogger posted this to the message boards at DemocraticUnderground.com:
"The sentiment of passengers I encountered today...
is that this is just another government fabrication. I didn't see any panic or any worried faces -
just frustration and many comments like "I guess Bush's approval dropped below 30 again." I
think people are finally waking up and hopefully they will be PISSED about the inconvenience
caused because we cannot seem to get a grip on this terror issue."
As with earlier scares from Bush and Blair, starting with the anthrax plot, many people find the timing suspicious. I noted the incident was perfectly timed to coincide with the premiere of the Big Lie movie WTC.
Other comments at DU:
"How long before we find out that the head "plotter" was a police guy."
And "The Keystone Konspirators Kont'd: What Klowns these Koppers Be," a reference to the
hilarious Great Sting by the Mounties, the RCMP: the police themselves delivered the fertilizer
for alleged bombs to their sting victims!
Canadian TV's online story called the Heathrow Air Scare the "alleged plot" and pointed out that small bottles of liquid explosive won't bring down large airplanes -- it has been tried.
In the evening, my wife told me how on the news 20 Pakistanis wanted to blow up planes with carry-on water bottles.
I explained how easy it is to fake it. You run a sting operation, like when the police sell drugs to somebody and arrest them. Hire some eager unemployed guys for some anti-terrorism work, and tell them they are going to be on a sting operation -- pretend to be terrorists in order to catch real terrorists. Then spring the trap -- the would-be stingers are stung themselves.
On August 11, Webster Tarpley was on KPFK mid-day news, the Los Angeles Pacifica station, saying words to this effect:
"There is no proof! We have every right to be skeptical, no proof has been shown, and the Bush administration has shown how irresponsible it is with using terror for political purposes.
Who is this report coming from? What's their track record? MI-5, MI-6, Scotland Yard. In June they sent SWAT teams to a home claiming the man was planning a WMD attack in London. They shoot him on the stairs without asking him anything. Then it turns out there was no sarin gas. The whole thing was a fiasco and bloody farce, MI-6 and Scotland Yard had layers of egg all over their faces. We are dancing to the tune of discredited terror-mongers. These are the ones who murdered a Brazilian man when they "thought he looked like" a suicide bomber. In many other recent actions they have misled or lied.
Of the latest accused group of Moslems in Britain, two are documented double agents working for MI-5, who supposedly infiltrated the group. In fact they were the leaders, who actually ran the group. They told the others they would be part of a terror drill, and would earn 100 pounds a day for taking part in the exercise. The scapegoats were even instructed to make suicide martyr videos as part of the drill.
We know the London 7/7 bombing was run by military drills. Chap named Peter Power told how his security company was running a simulation of a bomb attack at the exact time and place the time the bombs go off. The strong presumption in such cases is the explosions are conduited through the drill that goes live, and the patsies are caught, killed, or rounded up. We know Scotland Yard knew in advance the bombs would go off, but didn't tell the working people who were going into the underground (that would've spoilt it), they only told some big wigs like Netahyahu.
This is the recent track record of MI-5, who are now telling you that there is some nefarious plot over the Atlantic so you have to give up your bottle of water, hair spray, lipstick or whatever it is."
That was Webster Tarpley on KPFK. Tune in to hear him tomorrow, Saturday Aug. 12 from 4 - 6 pm ET on RBNLive.com, or archived anytime at http://mp3.rbnlive.com/Tarpley06.html
Here is Tarpley's first reaction, written immediately after the announcement of the plot:
MI-5 SCRAPES BOTTOM OF BARREL (AGAIN) IN LUDICROUS
HEATHROW TERROR STUNT
Late-night television viewers were tonight bemused to hear wild and unsubstantiated
allegations, broadcast on cable television at about 2 AM Eastern Time, alleging that the
intrepid paladins of British intelligence had foiled a new and nefarious conspiracy to blow up
at least twenty (20) passenger airliners, in a plot which would have eclipsed even the
legendary 9/11. Heathrow Airport was the purported locus of this latest terror stunt.
Given the collapse of the latest Israeli offensive into Lebanon, this new publicity ploy
threatens to take the world into general war -- if the US-UK-Israeli aggressor bloc is able to
pin this latest chimera on Hezbollah, Syria, or Iran.
It was only a minor flaw in these broadcasts, mercilessly played up on such channels as Fox
News and Sky TV -- the equivalents of the yellow journalism of the notorious News of the
World -- that there was not one shred of evidence to support these demagogic and
inflammatory charges.
Listeners were reminded that the British plus assorted NATO puppets were being defeated in
Afghanistan, the US were being defeated in Iraq, and the Israelis were being defeated in
Lebanon. The NATO puppets of the "Orange Revolution" were a thing of the past in Kiev,
while the leading CIA agents were being rounded up in Rome. The dollar was in its death
agony, and even the neocon hack Lieberman was all washed up in Connecticut. Tony Blair
was about to join Ramsay MacDonald in the inferno reserved for Labour Party traitors who
were also prime ministers. All the while, the controllers of Dick Cheney and the neocons
were clamoring for a headlong rush into World War III, considered to be the remedy for all
their ills.
Was it any wonder that British intelligence chose to launch yet another threadbare and absurd
terror provocation on a morning in the middle of August?
The US late-night viewer could only await the inevitable parade of psychotic patsies,
fanatics, dupes, basket cases, and double agents -- undoubtedly the fruits of MI-5 patsy
schools like Brixton and Finsbury mosques -- who were sure to emerge in the course of the
day as the latest MI-5 terror cell.
How long would the English-speaking world remain the thrall of such transparent
provocations by the secret intelligence agencies?
