- The pattern is clear and precise: all 'allies' of the
United States government whose populations oppose the Bush administration's
war upon the Iraqi people seem to experience a 'terrorist attack' designed
and executed to stir feelings of hate, fear and want of revenge within
the hearts of those dissenting masses (including dissenting Americans at
home). In the style of any typical Hollywood action film the plot, while
complicated at times, is nonetheless predictable as if the directors are
following a well-written script. The Bali bombing was just another such
tactic, executed by the invisible Bush/Sharon-backed mercenaries who are
handsomely financed to create mayhem and death in order to manipulate Aussie
sentiments in favor of Bush's obsessive campaigns of war and destruction,
power and global domination; sentiments that were, and still are over-all
opposed to war, and opposed to Bush. Like Bush said: "You're either
with us, or you're for terrorism." In that light, the greater majority
of Aussies, like the majority of Americans, French, Germans and Britons,
are considered to be supporters of terrorists and thus are legitimate targets
of the Bush hit squad. Bush continues to pound fear into Americans on a
daily basis through West Nile virus, Anthrax, snipers, promises of more
and more attacks and an arsenal media propaganda. The deadly fact is that
he has the firepower to follow through with those threats - and will.
There was absolutely no reason for a terrorist to waste such money and
effort to blow up a nightclub in Bali - at least not the 'terrorists' the
US and media are blaming. The Balinese people are among the most gentle
and friendly people in the world whose economy relies almost exclusively
on tourism. But Bali is Australia's holiday (vacation) destination, as
Yosemite, the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone is for Americans. There are numerous
Australians in Bali at any given time, as well as people from around the
world.
There is only one reason Bali's Sari Nightclub was bombed and that is because
over-all, Australians, like Britons, Germans, French and the majority of
US citizens (ignore polls) oppose Bush's war against the Iraqi people -
UN approved or not. Why would a 'Muslim' terrorist attack someone who was
basically against the cause of their enemy? Why would they attack a people
who fundamentally sympathise with conditions in Palestine? Al-Qaeda would
have absolutely nothing to gain from such an attack but have everything
to lose.
The Media has reported that the US Intelligence (oxymoron intended) claim
explosives used in the Bali attack were of a 'sophisticated' nature using
C4 along compressed canisters of gas. The Indonesian Intelligence (not
certain if its an oxymoron yet) said: "C4 explosive was used - a type
manufactured mainly in the United States and used widely by military forces
around the world." The report goes on to say: "This has prompted
speculation that if Islamic militants carried out the bombing, they may
have had some help from elements in the Indonesian military which have
been involved with resurgent radical Islamic groups since the fall of General
Suharto in 1998."
Why would the any element in Indonesian Army feel the necessity to help
bomb Bali and create an enemy of Australia? Australia has had a few tense
moments with Indonesia in the past but any retaliation to those events
would have been done then, not now. The math doesn't add up and less so
as you look closely at who really has something to gain by creating hate
and want of revenge.
I'm an American living in Australia, or more importantly, a United States
citizen living outside the US looking on. This has given me a unique advantage
to my viewpoint that only other Americans in a like situation can have.
The advantage is being able to see, if for the first time, what the rest
of the world sees in our (American) government's behavior and our government's
actions. It's like viewing a distant storm and being able to judge it's
size and ferocity and direction, unlike being in the middle of the storm
and having the visibility to see only to the end of my own street. Mind
you, no one here pointed these perspectives out to me (the Aussie folks
have a high praise for the people of America-the-Beautiful). The US is
so globally-dominant that one can't help but notice it. It stands out in
every News Broadcast, Movie Theater, Golden Arches and Target store in
the world. But for an American on the outside looking in on his government's
actions it takes on an embarrassing new look and feel, and bares a sheen
far less luminous than what I was conditioned to believe as a born-and-bred
citizen.
My sojourn in Oz has also opened my eyes to the appalling media blackout
of truth in America and elsewhere through the effective abolition and corruption
of honest investigative journalism and reporting - something which the
rest of the world has only lately been subjected to since the consolidation
of global news providers over the past decade. Fortunately, however, most
of these other countries cannot afford the high cost of a qualified professional
spin committee and therefore, more facts on crucial events tends to innocently
slip out. Or they simply bumble the script and have to make embarrassing
and obviously ridiculous corrections. (At least they attempt to correct
it. CNN just removes it from the archives and denies they ever said anything).
An example of this 'innocent slip' was when, a week or so after the September
11 attacks the West Australian news reported that an ECHELON listening
station in Geraldton was on duty listening for information on the attacks,
or potential future attacks. Echelon is not supposed to exist, much less
tell where one of its stations is located and what its functions are. The
'higher-ups' quickly ordered the story buried and that was that. Now we're
back to 'Shshshsh...It doesn't exist!'
What we can see from a broader perspective is a bigger picture and within
that bigger picture a clear pattern begins to take shape. Since 9-11 I,
like so many others, find more to the picture than simple 'connect-the-dots'.
We're way beyond that. The picture emerging is no less than a Rembrandt
of government and corporate corruption on a global scale with the US and
Israel at the center. This is why no other people in any other nation,
including in the US and Israel, condone Bush's agenda.
- Several aspects of the recent Bali atrocity deeply disturb
and for more than the high casualties of friends and family members we
(collectively) lost, and also for more than the obvious connection to Bush's
agenda through its timely event. At the top of my list is the Australian
mainstream media's reporting of the bombings and immediate use of key 'Bush-buzz-words'
designed to plant in the mind through power of suggestion that those responsible
for the bombings were conveniently one-and-the-same as those needed as
scapegoats by the Bush Administration. Instantly, as if orchestrated by
the same group who scripted the 9-11 reporting moments after the first
attack in New York, and without one single shred of evidence as to what
even caused the explosion at the Sari night club, the terms 'MUSLIMS',
'TERRORIST', 'AL-QAEDA' and links to HUSSEIN were being thrown into our
faces over and over.
-
-
- As if the terrorist attacks are some kind of F***ing
game with nations keeping score the Aussie Channel Nine news compared the
Australian death toll in Bali to the September 11 attacks pointing out
that, per capita, Australia suffered more losses. The Monday after the
Bali bombing Prime Minister John Howard attempted to ã9-11ä
the tragedy by creating his own 'day of infamy' slogan saying: "For
the rest of Australian history, 12 October 2002 will be counted as a day
on which evil struck." But while the Oz government and mainstream
media appear to be fully 'Americanized' in their thought and tactics they
aren't fooling the Aussie people. Talking to folks on the street I found
that while the Aussies hurt deeply for their own who were killed in Bali
they look at the tragedy as a human tragedy and hurt and pray equally for
all 20 + other countries who lost citizens and loved ones. One mother at
our childrenâs school almost hit the nail on the head when she commented
that these terrorist attacks would not have occurred if the United States
president was not such a bully wanting to go to war with everyone. Her
friend replied very correctly that "it seems whenever one of those
Bushes are in charge over there the US goes to war with someone."
You in the Australian media should be ashamed and embarrassed for encouraging
feelings of hate and vengeance, especially since itâs your own people
your lying to and manipulating, not to mention your own families, your
neighbours and friends and to those who lost loved ones in the attack.
It seems you don't even know your own very well, for while there has been
a few isolated incidents of Aussies publicly pointing blame on your fellow
Muslim citizens, the greater majority of Aussies can see through the crap
as is shown through many of the 'letters to the editor' on your web sites.
You seem to forget: Aussies have been watching this kind of circus in America
for a many years, so when you finally brought it down under it was an old
song and dance.
However, more seriously, your contributions to these horrific disinformation
campaigns, through unjustified and unverified finger pointing, racial and
religion profiling without proper investigation into the facts, are putting
in danger the lives of the very people who look to you for truth. Many
of you knew personally the people who were cowardly butchered in the Bali
attack as we almost all did. Donât you owe it to them to do some
honest research and find out the real reasons behind why they died instead
of basing your opinions on what Americaâs president thinks? How dare
you use this tragedy as an opportunity to promote hate and revenge against
fellow Muslim Australians for the unjust cause of some warlord in a distant
country who couldnât give a ratâs ass about any of you if it
came down to you or him? Is it the loads of money you make? Is it worth
selling out your own people?
-
-
- Don't do to your own people what American Media is doing
to itâs own. If youâre told to report that garbage 'or else'
- take the 'or else. Get another job and take with you your dignity. Or
does it sound inviting to you to be conspirators in lies and disinformation
without facts that will plunge your beautiful, peaceful island nation into
the horrors of an unjust war? Does it sound exhilarating to live day-to-day
in the threat of being blown to bits by someone whose been scapegoated,
painfully hurt and accused without solid evidence by your reporting? Is
it your aspiration to become like America where people are terrified to
leave their homes and dive to the ground every time a car backfires? I
came from America. It took me three years in Australia to realise that
I didn't have to pull wife and family to the ground whenever our neighbour's
VW backfired.
Further, among the overwhelming evidence brought forth over this last year
to support a conclusion that the 'terrorist attacks' against the US and
elsewhere are being financed and orchestrated by wealthy and powerful organizations
closely connected to the Bush administration and the present Israeli government,
is the fact that whenever a 'terrorist attack' occurs the mainstream media
is suddenly, within moments of the event occurring, in possession of information
they could NOT possibly know in such a short time, such as who was responsible
for the attacks, the names of each individual, where they trained, and
on and on; information that would take a highly skilled investigative committee
weeks, if not months to sort out (providing their investigations are not
blocked by a rabid US administration). Moreover, you all seem to miraculously
produce incriminating documents and film footage of those being accused
in support of your accusations. You parrot over and over the critical key
words that mirror exactly the words used by the White House for Bushâs
private agenda and every mainstream news organization in the world repeats
the exact same information as if you are all being powered of the same
single brain cell in Washington. In your highly competitive efforts to
be 'first with the news' NO ONE performs a single shred of proper investigation
for facts, facts that are critical for the people to have if they are going
to make responsible life-changing decisions. For the media itâs all
about ratings. Not news. Not truth.
How is it that suddenly, a few days after the Bali attack, there miraculously
appears another convenient videotape from (where else) Afghanistan that
shows Al-Qaeda terrorist training in (where else) Indonesia? Where the
hell was this tape before? Look close at the credits when your watching
it. I'm certain that somewhere it says 'Made In Hollywood, USA under the
direction of the MOSSAD and Distributed by the CIA.' I'm a multimedia
developer and I could crank something like that out in less than a day
on my home PC. The US Intelligence yesterday claimed they gave a warning
to the world about potential threat to Bali 14 days before it happened.
Howard says no one down here ever got such a warning. Then, after some
arm twisting until he said 'Uncle' and changed his mind and said he DID
get the message. The US didn't have the decency to warn it's own people
before 9-11. It wouldn't serve the administration's agenda to warn anyone
else to thwart a terrorist attack.
Let me bring one more thing to light:
-
- Why is that every time a Bush is in the Oval Office hell
breaks loose around the world and WAR is the only solution?
Let me rephrase that: Why is that every time a Bush is in the Oval Office
we in the world are suddenly faced with horrific events, war in the middle
east, collapsing industries, declining economy, prejudice, hate, fear,
deceit and terrorist attacks?
In 1990 the Berlin Wall came down and there was, after 40 years of oppression
and paranoia, a sense of hope and potential of world peace. The newly elected
President Bush Sr would have none of that 'peace' trash because it meant
millions of dollars in cuts and losses for him and his cronies who held
stock in military-oriented manufacturing companies and a risk of losing
control over the Mid East Oil fields they are so heavily invested in.
-
- So, several months later (one year after his appointment
to office), in February of 1991, to satisfy the incredible appetite of
his investor friends, and in an effort to bolster his declining popularity,
and in hopes of creating his personal One World Order, a convenient war
was created against Iraq over Kuwait. We were told that Saddam was a threat
to the world and told on CNN how the Iraqi soldiers dumped babies out of
incubators, crushed them with their boots in front of mothers and nurses
and shipped the incubators back to Bagdad to be used for making biological
weapons. The images it conjured would horrify any decent human being into
backing a war against those 'evil people'.
-
-
- I was suckered by the propaganda in those days, too,
being less wise than today. Two years after that war 'ended' the Incubator
stories turned out to be a blatant lie manufactured by Kuwait and the US
Government in an attempt to manipulate the people. It was a lie. It never
happened. Neither did many of the other atrocities Bush claimed for going
to war. But it got Bush what he wanted during his privilege as leader of
the United States of America. The media's wrongful and irresponsible reporting
cost hundreds of thousands of lives and Gulf War vets are still dying from
the exposure to chemicals, not to mention the millions of Iraqi men, women
and children who are dead or dying from that and depleted uranium. Itâs
a FACT that the Gulf War was fabricated and NOT necessary.
- Ten years later another Bush is placed into office, illegally,
in the aftermath of incredible and soul-stirring millennium celebrations
around the world in which, once again, there was a sense of hope and global
peace and unity. Among the most beautiful presentations was performed in
Sydney who also hosted the incredible 2000 Summer Olympics. But, again,
Bush wouldn't have such hope of peace and unity in the world. Without wars,
drugs and oil his family's fortunes would dry up and he'd have to get a
real job. The Bush organization knew, too, that no American citizen would
ever condone a war of any magnitude against any people simply for the sake
of oil, so, like (and for) his father a decade before him who needed a
war to bolster his dwindling public approval ratings and take charge of
Mid East oil interests, the events of September 11 were conceived and
executed to twist their hearts and passions into hate and want of revenge.
It worked for a while, but the Americans aren't stupid - I know, I'm one
of them.
Bush Jr declared his 'war on terrorism' amid turmoil, shock and utter
heartbreak. Under this disguise, he effectively stripped the US people
of their Constitution and stops any and all dissent through ages-old fear
tactics. Before the dust of the Trade Towers has even settled he has signed
a bill preventing any 'unauthorised' research into his administration's
dealings and has thwarted every attempt by congress and other organizations
to launch a full inquiry into the attacks. The 'war' he claimed, will last
around twenty years and cost many American lives (not to mention the millions
of lives of every other country involved). Like father, like son. I'ts
far too coincidental. The world once again trembles in fear since a Bush
has come to control the most powerful arsenal of Weapons of Mass Destruction
and military might on the planet.
Bush has called Australia 'Americaâs best friend' in his 'war on
terrorism'. How convenient - especially since the ANZUS Treaty signed 50
years ago binds the Australians to commit their resources and lives unconditionally
to any war the US happened to get into (I'll bet many Australians didn't
even know that). From my point of view PM John Howard is between a rock
and a hard spot, that is to say, between Bush and Blair. His hands are
tied and not only by the convenient wording of the ANZUS Treaty that makes
Australia a US resource, rather than a nation.
As you in the (Israeli/US-owned) Australian mainstream Media report lies
and half-truths in behalf of the White House from behind your facial preserves
and fake expressions remember this: You are the mouth piece of all that
occurs in the world from government corruption down to traffic accidents.
It's your responsibility to state facts. Otherwise you're jeopardizing
the lives of your very own people - family and friends. The ones you get
killed through your disinformation and racial/religion slander and profiling
may likely be someone close and dear to you and not someone else in a distant
land. With Bali, you may have already done it. No government on this planet
has power without a mouthpiece. Youâre it. Donât do it to Australia.
Bush is likely to go out of office with a 'big bang' somewhere in the world
as a final 'I Told You So' or one last punishment for not doing things
His Way. Expect it. But if it happens help those suffered from it, don't
shoot at shadows like they want you to. Another Bush will be gone soon
and the world can get back on a road to peace and unity. If he's re-elected,
well - its going to be a tough, long, depressing road.
