LONDON MINI-EXPLOSIONS: FOR PANIC EFFECT ONLY
Yesterday's four mini-explosions in the London subway system were so small as to barely qualify as explosions. They were not much more than a blasting cap or two with some smoke making material. The largest, which occurred on a bus, was a little bigger -- enough to blow out the window. No one was seriously hurt in the attacks and yet it created a predictable surge in the panic thinking of many citizens. Real terrorists with easy access to explosives don't risk being caught for these kinds of pranks. On the other hand, such acts are perfect for agent provocateurs, trying to goad people into action without killing too many more. This appears to be a purposeful series of events to help the British government justify its continued war on terror, which, as it does in the US, includes the inevitable restrictions on civil liberties like increased surveillance and arrest powers. Already there is a surge in thinking from reactionary governments on how to start using x-ray and metal detectors for all travelers and carry-on bags going into the mass transit system -- involving a nightmare of expense and delays that would back people up for blocks in long lines.
The attacks coincided with another round of "al Qaeda" threats -- if you can believe the anonymous internet sources. The messages were sent to all the European states, supposedly by the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigade, which is only a name. No other reliable information is known about this group, if it really exists. "This message is the final warning to European states. We want to give you a one-month deadline to bring your soldiers out from the land of Mesopotamia." Europe is buzzing with comment as this message, real or provoked, helps accentuate its growing difference with the US policy of world intervention.
Pepe Escobar of Asia Times gives his impressions of the situation [my comments in brackets]: "The European Union will be waiting, breathlessly, for this deadline set by the al-Qaeda-connected Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades -- which has claimed responsibility for the Istanbul, Madrid and London bombings. After August 15, 'It will be a bloody war in the service of God', or the dreaded possibility of more attacks against 'the crusaders who are still present in Iraq -- Denmark, the Netherlands, Britain, Italy and ... other countries'. The Brigades seem bent on avenging 'blood that has been shed in the land of Islam -- in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine'. 'EU counterterrorism analysts are not taking the threat lightly -- even if its authenticity is not yet proven' [and it never can be -- but it will be touted nevertheless]. This 'message' means that Salafi-jihadis are officially proclaiming that the attacks on London on July 7 were blowback caused by Iraq -- a connection also established by two-thirds of Britons answering a Guardian/ICM poll and by a report conducted by the Royal Institute of International Affairs [CFR's sister global conspiracy organization]. Prime Minister Tony Blair's government -- toeing the Bush administration line -- denies everything. As EU diplomats have assured this correspondent, Europe by no means is going to vote the adoption of a US-style Patriot Act. Nor is anybody contemplating an EU Guantanamo." [End Escobar quote.]
I'm not too sure about no US-style PATRIOT Act. Britain already is doing the same types of things the American dark side forces have been doing -- it's now only a matter of experiencing enough "terror" to justify codifying it into law. Already, the London bombings have allowed proponents of the USA PATRIOT Act this week to successfully move the House of Representatives to make permanent the most controversial aspects of the Act, which codify government's long-standing policy of illegal surveillance and unlimited detention without being charged. The vote was 251 to 171, mostly following party lines. It's a continuing sad commentary to see liberty being snuffed out by the Republicans who traditionally have been its champions. This undermining of liberty will only become more pervasive, and not just confined to the US, as the globalist agenda plays out.
The underlying agenda to these attacks: If my theory is correct (see the "Strategic Threats" article on my website), the Anglo-American globalists are intent on fomenting a huge backlash against the United States and Britain (by Russian and China, in "defense" of their Slavic and Muslim allies) in order to force the western world into a global government with real power over nation states. These government-agent-created "al Qaeda" threats, and the subsequent bombings that will follow, will be used to separate Europe from its ties to US warmongering -- thus illuminating only the US and British as the true culprits -- and justifying some future pre-emptive attack (with an appropriate provocation brought on by a crisis in the Middle East or Taiwan). The reason for targeting only the US and Britain in the war is because Russia and China would undoubtedly like to avoid a total holocaust of the Western economy and are hoping, as the conflict escalates, to blackmail Europe into submission, after taking out the two "bullies of the world."
