The Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe: A load of Hooey

Attack-Terrorism UK

Five minutes tuned into CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and the entire panoply of the corporate media propaganda machine reveals a common thread in regard to the London bombings-once again, in knee-jerk fashion, an exaggerated al-Qaeda is to blame, minus any evidence whatsoever beyond an absurd claim of responsibility by something calling itself “The Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe,” a preposterous and unwieldy appellation if ever there was one. Even the unanimity of the corporate media slips on occasion, however, especially as details about events are emerging.

“MSNBC TV translator Jacob Keryakes said that the statement in which the group claimed responsibility for the attacks contained an error in one of the Qura’nic verses it cited. That suggests that the claim is phony, he said,” reports al-Jazeera. A quick Google News Search returns exactly two results on the name “Jacob Keryakes” and one result when his name is coupled with “al-Qaeda” (the above al-Jazeera reference). Now you’d think, in the name of “fair and balanced” journalism, the possibility “The Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe” is phony would be mentioned by the corporate media, but of course it is not because the purpose of the corporate media is not to provide us with facts but brainwash us into accepting another set of lies, or at least half-truths, about terrorism. Once again, cui bono-who benefits-rules the day.

“I refuse to accept that the attack on London was anything less than a false-flag operation designed to enrage Western ‘civilization’ against the Middle East,” writes Matt Hutaff. “Why? Because there is no reason for ‘terrorist’ groups to attack England. As recently as this week, the Ministry of Defense announced that plans were being drafted that would pull British armed forces from the quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan. With the British effectively admitting they’re throwing in the towel, the only motivation to stay could come from an attack that compels the forces to stay and fight ‘global terrorism.’ Think about it. The attack only benefits empires desperate to maintain a foothold in the Middle East without further eroding public opinion. Will Parliament shrug their shoulders and push their soldiers into longer tours of duty because of this? Obviously it’s too early to tell, but if that happens, insurgents and rebels will have lost more than they could have ever possibly gained in destroying part of the Underground.”

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, in his exuberance to glean something supposedly upbeat from the attacks, agreed-the attacks are propaganda coup for the stalled “war on terrorism”:

And he [British Prime Minister Tony Blair] made the statement, clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where their topic Number 1-believe it or not-was global warming, the second was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. But it’s important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world’s advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.

“No longer do we need to concern ourselves with two world leaders (who have spawned more worldwide terrorism than any fanatical religious organization) going unquestioned in their lies that started a war,” Hutaff continues. “We can cast off our sluggish economies, lack of freedoms and pitiful descent into draconian law.... Everything is the same, right down to the previously unheard of Islamic group (The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe? Are you kidding me?) taking credit-even though the translation falls apart under scrutiny and the Q’uran is improperly cited. Considering the only Al Qaeda cell to ever be uncovered was a front for the Mossad, you’d think the perpetrators could at least come up with a clever new booga-booga name to grab headlines. Their arrogance is startling.”

Of course their arrogance is startling-because the American people (and plenty of Britons) no longer need rock solid or even believable evidence, relying instead, in a pervasive intellectually lazy fashion (now that is startling), on the entirely unsatisfactory explanations of two confirmed liars. It really does not matter what they name this particular phantom occurrence of al-Qaeda and it also does not matter if the false flag al-Qaeda now blamed for the attacks botches a Koranic verse or two because not only does the corporate media refuse to pause on such egregious errors in the official story but the American people also refuse (or are incapable) of picking up on the obvious: al-Qaeda is a big fat booga-booga contrivance.

  • You are at least as biased as the major news agencies. Somewhere there has to be objectivity on the Middle East. We certainly are not getting it from Al Jazeera, CBS, CNN or you. AL-Qaeda in Europe may be a made up organization, but Al-Qaeda is not just a boogey many hiding under your bed. They are terrorists as real as the Algerian terrorists that forced France out of their country, or the Jewish terrorists that eventually founded Isreal. Objectivity is what is needed, not more rhetoric from either side of this issue. Quit throwing stones and come up with a solution to the problem. Just stating that the coalition forces leaving Iraq/Afghanistan would solve the problem is naive. The Taliban was brutal to the majority of the Afghan people. Where was you indignation when Sadam was acting like a modern Hitler? Occupation of these countries is not the answer, but neither was burying our heads in the sand and pretending the atrocities did not exist.

    • right on the money

    • Please see the BBC three-part documentary called "The Power of Nightmares" to see how the threat of terrorism has been manufactured and exaggerated to further the aims of American and British empire interests (i.e., corporate interests.)

      And please review history. The US and other governments originally created and trained terrorists, like the Taleban, to serve their purposes. Then when the US got what it needed, it cut and run, leaving some rich, angry, well-trained people behind. It’s not hard to do the math.

      I’m not in any way condoning terrorism. I despise it. But we have to acknowledge the role the US and UK have played in aiding and abetting terrorists. Did we think the chickens would never come home to roost?

      Re first-day reports, I blogged about that too at http://realhistoryarchives.blogspot.com.

    • Do you understand the dynamics of the Cold War? Do you realize that the U.S. trained the Taiban to fight the Russians who were intent on conquering the Middle East and Asia? Sometimes people become so blinded by their partisanship that they can no longer see the truth. Go back and read up on your history about Afghanistan and the Russian invasion of that country, and then you will underastand why the US did what it did.

  • hello al jazeera...

    i can understand how it’s possible that the london attack was not the work of al qaida, insofar as it may well be an impetus to the "stalled war on terrorism"...the israeli special services have been involved in this kind of thing before...it gives us much to think about...

    however, in another article you have raised the possibility that even the 9/11 attacks in new york were perpetrated by the "military industrial complex"...is this really a reasonable statement? do you believe that the government of this nation is so radical and insensitive that they would kill thousands in those towers just for a political ruse?

    it’s one thing to present the arab viewpoint, which i admit is wanting in western civilization...but it’s quite another to write like a weekly tabloid that covers the lives of the rich & infamous...or is your strategy to add to the mix of misinformation we all get from the leaders of nations...if so, i can hardly see how the arab position will gain from it...

    no peace in the middle east without justice for the arabs...at least there are a few of us who know this...

    LEO

    • Read about the US government’s plan for "Operation Northwoods", which Pres. Kennedy refused to carry out. The plans included blowing up planes of American citizens and making it look like Castro did it to make an excuse to go to war with Cuba. Yeah, governments are absolutely capable of bombing their own. Your naivete is what helps them succeed in such plans.

  • You’re just pissed off because it proves how evil and nasty these Islamic terrorists are and how this attack has reinforced that view to millions of people.

    Who do you think was to blame? Bush? Israel?

  • The bomb attack in London smells foul. In the news they American/British government of liars try to manufacter an evidence in the direction of Syria: Sarqawi, who might be also a myth.
    The event in London came just right, so that instead of making decision about global warming and Africa help, politicians can get away with the "fear factor".

    But don’t be mistaken American war criminals: Europe is a different society, we don’t create police states because you and your criminal helpers wants us to do so, we don’t care about your creationism based bullshit.

    With every threat you (America) and your helpers (Israel) create against us (the rest of the civilzed world) we will more and more move away from your phony and crazy policies.

    • I do not understand the level of distrust of some of these readers. Why is America always the emeny? Would you be much more content to have Russia ruling over your countries if Russia had won the cold war? Read about Russian tactics in Afghanistan (indiscrimante bombing of women and children).

    • you are so full of "crap". The American’s are not the war criminals. Your friends the Islamic so called "jihadists" are. Don’t you get it? Who esle but war criminals would send woman and children to blow themselves up and in the process kill other innocent woman and children. Ofcourse you don’t see any of your "jihadists" leaders going out blowing themselves up do you? You would think they would love to enter "paradise". And than you have some of your islamic friends calling these coward bombers "courageous" mujahadin. What in hell is so courageous about sneaking bombs into a place setting them off with a timing device while these "courageous" individuals are safely watching from a distance and congratulating themeselves by having killed and injured so many innocent people.

  • The statement made by "The Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe" was released within hours of the attacks on London, The British authorities stated that this "group" was unknown to them and the claim by this group of responsibility for the attacks would be treated with caution.

    In the claim of responsibility there is a passage that reads " Britain is in panic and fear in its western, eastern, southern and northern quarters" The attacks on the underground were indeed made on the south, west and eastern train lines with the exception of the northern line, which had been suspended, (was the "bus bomb" intended for the northern line?).
    The information regarding the suspension of the northern line was released 5 days after the attacks!
    The statement made by "The Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe" now looks to have been written hastily, but more importantly possibly before the attacks, which gives it credence.

    It has been pointed out mistakes have been made in the statement regarding quotes from the Quran, does anyone beilive that the suicide bombers or their mentors are expertly versed in the Quran and know every line word for word?
    Al-Qaeda are fanatics, not of the Quran or Islam, but fanatics of murder. The bomb makers and organizers of this murder are unlikely to be the Mullahs or scholars of Islam.

    • Yes but the Mullahs and scholars of Islam are not doing a damn thing to stop these fanatics evnthough, I am sure, they have a good idea who the fanatics are in their respective communities.

  • Al CIAda is a government sponsored group designed to acomplish strategic goals for the Elite that are trying to dominate the world!! They started working for Hitler , then the Russians & now The United States & The United Kingdom
