Hasan Spoke Openly of Beheading 'Non-believers' in Front of Colleagues and Supported Suicide as Strategic Victory; Had Ties to 9/11 Hijackers

On a profile of Major Hasan on a neo-conservative website one can view a strange collection of outbursts of his where he seemed to openly support terrorism and make violent threats in public. He also visited the same mosque as 9/11 hijacker Hani Hanjour and at the same time. Mainstream media reported in November that such 'warning signs' were missed by the Army.

From the profile: "he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats. He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Qu’ran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC during an environmental seminar in the summer of 2009."

Is it not absurd that this is the type of person the army has freely walking the grounds of a secure army base fully armed?

Isn't it odd that, although we live in a surveillance state where our emails are read and phone conversations are listened to, even though we are harassed at the airport for carrying too much toothpaste, or having long hair, being a musician, or carrying too much money, even though we are fingerprinted and retina scanned, even as we are pouring money into new surveillance technologies, the authorities again and again find it impossible to take pre-emptive action against an individual exhibiting an obvious dangerous profile of islamic militancy?

The 9/11 Hijackers, the Detroit Bomber, the Fort Hood Shooter....Are the authorities, especially the intelligence agencies and the military, incompetent or do they purposely put the public or the military in harms way to further other agendas? The question must be asked.

$215 Million More for Body Scanners

Prison Planet is reporting today of further millions being spent for airport body scanners.

Even as Obama himself and The New York TImes admits our debts are dangerously high, hundreds of millions will be poured out for new body scanners which probably wouldn't have caught the Detroit Bomber in any case. You can read about the scanner scam here in Mother Jones where it is also described how former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who has been making the interview rounds pushing for the scanners, also heads the Chertoff Group which represents one of the leading manufacturers of body scanners, Rapiscan.
Rapiscan (OSIS) shares were up 10% after the christmas bombing.

Also one must take into account the witness reports of Abdulmutallab actually being led through security by a sharp dressed man, as well as the claim by the U.S. State Department that it was engaged in an elaborate sting operation with Abdulmutallab, and made a specific request not to revoke his visa. If a terrorist has inside help, and our intelligence agencies want him to fly, no amount of body scanning will do anything to stop him, but will without a doubt further harass innocent travelers and invade our privacy as well as line the pocketbooks of Rapiscan and other security technology investors.

BREAKING NEWS: COUNTERTERRORISM OFFICIALS ASKED STATE DEPARTMENT SPECIFICALLY NOT TO REVOKE ABDULMUTALLAB'S VISA

This should be a front page story everywhere if it is true. The Detroit News* is reporting that during testimony before the House Committee on Homeland Security, Patrick F. Kennedy, undersecretary for management at the State Department said that intelligence officials asked his agency not to deny a visa to the suspected terrorist over concerns that a denial would've foiled a larger investigation. *

This along with previous admissions by authorities that a man helped the Christmas Bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, "change planes," a man who, according to witness Kurt Haskell, asked the ticket agent to let Abdulmutallab board without a passport because "we do this all the time," raise serious questions about the event.

In an intervew on prisonplanet.tv (3 minutes in) Haskell also claims that he has received an email from a dutch woman who collaborates his story of Abdulmutallab being escorted by a 'sharp dressed man.'

If Haskell's evidence were somehow false and Abdulmutallab did board with a visa (not revoked by the State Department on request by counterterrorism officials) then we would be perhaps dealing with a dangerous sting operation. A scandal in its own right.

But Kurt Haskell claims on Prison Planet that he witnessed Abdulmutallab trying to board the plane as a Sudanese refugee without a passport and with the help of a U.S. government agent.

It is theoretically possible that the second scenario which Haskell describes still represents only an elaborate sting operation and not necessarily an intentional false flag operation, but the difference between the two seems to be narrowing as the government in all scenarios went out of its way to help, or at least not to impede, Abdulmutallab in his actions.

Do you really believe this is not related to a desire to increase military aid to yemen, tighten airport security, and install body scanners?

If it turns out to be the case that the whole thing from start to finish was an organized false flag event created by individuals within as well as outside the government for the reasons above or other reasons, why should anyone be surprised? The government and corporate media lied to us about WMDs to start unnecessary wars. They have menaced us with apparently fake or misleading Bin Laden videos. They have deceived us about swine flu so Big Pharma can get rich, and they have lied to us about the economic bailout to enrich their friends. Their credibility is zero. They operate with a methodology reminiscent of organized crime or fascism.

"... the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."

Terror suspect kept visa to avoid tipping off larger investigation


Nathan Hurst / Detroit News Washington Bureau

Washington --The State Department didn't revoke the visa of foiled terrorism suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab because federal counterterrorism officials had begged off revocation, a top State Department official revealed Wednesday.

Patrick F. Kennedy, an undersecretary for management at the State Department, said Abdulmutallab's visa wasn't taken away because intelligence officials asked his agency not to deny a visa to the suspected terrorist over concerns that a denial would've foiled a larger investigation into al-Qaida threats against the United States.

"Revocation action would've disclosed what they were doing," Kennedy said in testimony before the House Committee on Homeland Security. Allowing Adbulmutallab to keep the visa increased chances federal investigators would be able to get closer to apprehending the terror network he is accused of working with, "rather than simply knocking out one solider in that effort."


The committee's hearing continues a series across Capitol Hill that started last week, all looking into the events leading up to and after the attempted bombing of Flight 253 over Detroit. Law enforcement officials say Abdulmutallab tried to detonate an explosive hidden in his underwear on board the flight from Amsterdam shortly before its landing at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus on Christmas Day.


Since the failed attack, criticism has swirled around leaders of the U.S. intelligence community who have indicated they were warned by the suspect's father about a month before the flight of a potential terror threat, but failed to stop Abdmutallab, despite other warning signs like the fact that he purchased a one-way ticket to Detroit with cash.


Politicians have also criticized the decision to treat Abdulmutallab as a civilian after the arrest in Michigan, with Miranda rights being read to him after less than an hour of interrogation and without input from the intelligence community.

Rep. Candice Miller, R-Harrison Township, the only Michigan House member on the Homeland Security Committee, said in a Tuesday statement that she planned to question officials on that matter at today's hearing.

Thought Provoking Article Might Help Explain Yemen and 'Sharp Dressed Indian'

If you believe what M K Bhadrakumar has to say then what just happened with the Christmas Bomber and the recent U.S. military involvement with Yemen isn't just about fighting some nebulous Al-Qaida presence but has alot more to do with containment of China. His article in Asia Times is fascinating for those of us just getting the crafted propaganda of mainstream news and perhaps could even put in a new context reports of all these Indians around the Christmas Bomber. Here is a link to my previous post about the Indians.

Evidence Deliberately Withheld?

Come, come...that's no way to fight a war. We can't have this talk about our security agencies this way, as if they would deliberately endanger the country they are supposed to protect. How will this unpatriotic talk help us invade new countries and steal resources and prop up dictators and increase defence spending and help our neocon defence conglomerates and consulting firms? We can't have this kind of investigation! What will great heroes like Lieberman and Cheney say to that, so unmarred by any speculation of wrongdoing, so pure in the soul and in the mind! No No, how dare these wobbly knee liberals talk of corruption at a time like this, when we should be throwing money at new defence investments and making a big splash of it, this is a war after all. A WAR!!!!

Well, if that isn't how you feel, you might want to look at this clip where towards the end Olbermann's guest suggests there could have been a deliberate witholding of information in the christmas bomber case. Now why would anyone think that? Just because his father was trying to warn the security services, doesn't mean anything does it? I mean they can't be expected to react to a real threat can they?

He's Checking His List, He's Checking it Twice....

Some will receive presents from the Christmas Bomber in the way of rising stock shares, others in the way of military aid.
Shares of OSI Systems, the parent company of Rapiscan, one of many manufacturers of body scanning technology rose 10%. Yemen military assistance more then doubles.

Matthews: Beware Second Pair of Explosive Underwear and Kung Fu Terrorist

Chris Matthews knows there might be more pairs of explosive underwear out there. He also knows something about Kung Fu terrorists. I hope Lieberman and Cheney have something up their sleeve to stop the Kung Fu threat.

Here is the video.

Alhaji in Visa Land

Here's a thought for you. A runaway 23 year old on a terror watch list, traveling through several third world nations, with explosives in his underwear and reportedly trying to board as a sudanese refugee without a passport can travel to the U.S. His father however, former chairman of the FIrst Bank of Nigeria, was denied a visa to find his son in Yemen when he believed he had gone astray or 'became radicalized.'

Here is the article.

Ron Smith, Customs Officer, Solves the Case.

Ok. Chief Customs Officer Ron Smith solved the case. Those mysterious Indians were apparently from another flight. Whew. Glad that's over. Now lets get those body scanners in the airports and begin those war plans for Yemen.


Here is the email he allegedly sent on December 31st, to reporters and also to the Haskell's, the eyewitnesses of the mysterious Indians of preceding posts.


All,
Good Evening,
Thank you for your patience and accuracy in reporting the events of December 25 at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Everything we have talked about has been accurate concerning these events
That being said I have just received a piece of information that I did not previously have and hope it will clear up this matter.
As I have explained, there were no other passengers from flight 253 arrested or detained. The eyewitness accounts coincided with a separate issue concerning a passenger from a separate flight arriving at the airport. That passenger was escorted from the arriving plane to the CBP area. He was handcuffed at that time and could have been observed by the passengers from flight 253.
This still remains true; however, I now know that a passenger from flight 253 did have a canine alert to his carry on baggage in the baggage area of the CBP facility. He was placed in handcuffs and escorted to an interview room where he was interviewed and searched. There was nothing found during that search. Following the negative search results he received an explanation of why he was searched. He thanked the officers for doing their job and departed the facility along with the other passengers from flight 253.
I can not provide any other information about the individual because again, he was not arrested or detained and we have to protect his privacy.
This information is consistent with the eyewitness accounts.
I accept full responsibility for this information not being made available to you. I did not access the correct report that contained this information. I take pride in providing my media contacts complete, accurate information and I did not accomplish that this time. Please accept my apologies for any difficulties this may create.
I am sending this as an email because I will be traveling this evening and will not be available by phone until first thing in the morning.

So after several witnesses came forward about the handcuffed indian, Mr. Smith admits now finially he existed, but was from a different plane. He also now admits there was a second man from the flight who had a 'canine alert' and was handcuffed and interrogated and later released. Oh but wait...apparently Ron Smith has yet another version of events! In this article in Detroit News published yesterday he is stated as saying:

"A sniffer dog reacted to agricultural or food products inside the bag of a third man, who was off yet another flight, Smith said. He was questioned and may have had some items confiscated but was not arrested, Smith said. Smith could not identify the flight number for the man found with prohibited food or plant products."

Oh wait a second, so now he wasn't from flight 253 but from another flight? A flight which you can't identify? Ah, I see. Ok let's bomb Yemen. I trust you.

Lori Haskell however continues to defend their account of the man with the 'canine alert' in the article:

I walked off the plane with the individual," who was later arrested, Lori Haskell said. "He was standing around 15 to 20 feet away from us ... the entire time."

The original email above from Mr. Smith as well as other portions of the Haskell's defence of their account can be found on their blog.
