It hit all of us like a slap in the face on Christmas night - another person tried to perform a suicide bombing of a plane in flight. The details were sketchy at first, as one might expect in a situation like this, and changed several times. As time has progressed and more information come to light, one has to wonder if there's more to the story than we're being told.
The Haskells were coming home from a safari vacation in Uganda and were on layover in Amsterdam on Christmas. While sitting on the floor waiting to board, Mr. Haskell said he noticed something unusual.
An Indian man who "looked wealthy and was dressed in a nice suit" approached the ticket counter with a young man.
"They looked like an odd couple because the Indian man was dressed so nice and the person, who I thought was a teen, was a scraggly dressed black guy," Mr. Haskell said. "... The Indian man said he needed to get (the Nigerian man) on the plane, but he had no passport."
Mr. Haskell, 38, said the Indian man told the woman at the ticket counter that "the man was from Sudan and that it was typical (to let him on the plane without a passport)."
The young man was sent down the hall to talk with a manager. A few minutes later, passengers boarded the plane bound for Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
As the article reveals later, that "young man" was indeed the crotch-bomber. So let's add up the things that make you go "hmmmm". The bomber:
Had no luggage
Had a one-way ticket to Detroit (in the winter)
Had no passport
Was on a watch list
Was reported by his father as a danger
This should have sent off warning bells all over the place, yet he was given special treatment? This story stinks, and I'm not the only one that thinks so:
First we have the very obvious problems with the mainstream narrative. How is it that Ted Kennedy can't get on an airplane but a Nigerian national can get an multiple entry visa to the United States? What are we to make of reports that a well-dressed man helped Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab board the plane without a passport? Finally, what of the fact that Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab's father reported that he was becoming more interested in Islamic terrorist groups, and that he had been placed on a federal watch list for such people?
Was he let on the plane for a specific reason, or was it just an accidental breakdown in communication?... or perhaps a deliberate breakdown in communication to make someone look bad? Richard Wolffe has some interesting inside information:
"There must be an agenda," suggested Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) in a recent video message to supporters.
"It seems ironic that there is so much excitement about this and now talk about attacking Yemen," he said, noting recent bombing raids by Saudi forces, carried out with the explicit blessing of the United States.
"The Saudis are our close allies," Paul explained. "We provide them with the weapons and the airplanes and we did sanction and endorse the bombing of Yemen." [...] "The bigger the problem and the more the fear is built up, the more they take away our personal liberties and turn us all into zombies and the American people go along with it and say, 'as long as it makes us safer I guess it’s okay to go along,'" he countinued. "But it's time the American people woke up and started realizing that there's a bit of propaganda going on and quite possibly this incident will not only undermine our personal liberties but will also accelerate our intervention and the violence occurring in the Middle East."
He may be right. After all the bruhaha over the Bush Regime torturing people, 58% of Americans want the crotch-bomber sent to Gitmo to be tortured. So apparently people are not only willing to give up liberties for safety, they're willing to give up their morals and (ultimately) their souls for it.
And yet - years after the Shoe-Bomber tried nearly exactly the same thing (with failure), this guy fails too? You could try to pin the failure on the fast actions of the passengers and flight crew, but really... it seems to me that al-Qaeda had 7 years to get it right, the guy could have done it in the bathroom undisturbed... It almost seems like this was meant to fail.
If it was meant to fail - to what end? Could it be that the crotch-bomber was sent on that plane with a dud bomb not by al-Qaeda, but by other operatives with an agenda? The failed attempt has accomplished this:
Re-instilled a fading fear in Americans
Put Americans in a mindset where torture is once again okay
Put Yemen squarely in the bulls-eye of yet another potential military action
Made Obama look bad
Caused a ramping up of military and intelligence actions
Psyops?... False Flag?... who knows?... But like watching a magician, it's often the hand you're not watching that's doing the tricky stuff while you're distracted by the other.
