Kurt Haskell Blows Whistle on Underwear Bomber. Government Op

From Prison Planet.

We Are Change/Infowars
Jan 28, 2011
I contend that this story is just the tip of the iceberg into the US government’s black operations to further the Patriot Act, funding for Homeland Security and the TSA, and to keep intensity up for the so called War on Terror. Respected lawyer and community leader, Kurt Haskell, has nothing to gain from pointing his finger at the federal government. He witnessed the underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, being whisked past security and led onto NorthWest Airlines flight 253, by a well-dressed man with an American accent- all without the passenger’s proper visa and passport documentation. What the news piece doesn’t mention is that the State Dept did indeed put Mutallab on the plane, at the behest of “an unnamed US intelligence agency.” Undersecretary Patrick F. Kennedy (Detroit news article was removed from web!).
THIS is why we are being groped, molested, and body scanned at the airport by the TSA! Because the government claims the underwear bomber is a real threat! Stand up America- the politicians say our rhetoric is dangerous. Maybe the government itself is terribly dangerous….

TSA Groin Checks

Find out what happens to a man who says to a TSA "god" that he shouldn't touch his "junk" or be arrested.

Listen to the CNN bullshit artists use the "underwear bomber" as a reason for groin checks. The same "underwear bomber" who was helped on a plane by a mysterious agent and had his visa purposely not revoked by a U.S. intelligence agency. Listen to the bimbo corporate puppet talk about how "groin checks" are necessary. This absurdity is grotesque.

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.

Haskell's Account of 'Mysterious Indian' Helping Underwear Bomber Get On Flight Confirmed by Authorities

It's hard to find...but buried in this ABC News article is a confirmation by the authorities of Kurt Haskell's original claim that a mysterious 'Indian' helped the 'underwear bomber' board the Detroit flight and get through security without a passport by passing him off as a Sudanese refugee. The passport issue isn't mentioned but a 'man' who "helped Abdulmutallab change planes."

If someone from the inside is helping a terrorist get through security, as this now looks, you can have all the body scanners and security you want, he is going to get through.

More Indians and strange events observed by the Haskells on the Detroit flight were described also in this previous post.

A possible reason why 'Indians' might be involved can be found in this article which explains India's (as well as U.S.) geopolitical interest in Yemen. The Christmas Bomber has been used in the media and by politicians to validate new military aid to Yemen.

The Lion, The Sheikh, and the Warzone.






I'm following up Tolkein with C.S. Lewis. The common thread here is of course fantasy.

Which brings us right to the next topic: A new video of Osama Bin Laden with the funny introduction "From Osama to Obama." It's pretty short and basically just says that the 'underwear bomber' should convey the message that unless there is peace in Palestine, there will be none for America.
After looking alot at Bin Laden videos how do I know this is him? The voice sounds like a different person to me, a bit younger. There is only audio and no visual. It doesn't really sound like the voice in this video where Bin Laden's picture freezes when he talks about contemporary issues, which then again sounds different to this one.

Probably the strangest one of all is this one where he makes references to the 9/11 attacks. A german magazine found however that the Pentagon's translation of this video was not only inaccurate, but "manipulative" as explained in this article in english. The Bush administration also claimed the video was simply found in a house in Jalalabad. A bin Laden expert believes it to be bogus as well.

Of course the question of imposters was raised with the 2002 video here. And alot of people from Karzai to the FBI think he is dead here and also here and most importantly from the top American bin Laden expert here! It doesn't end there, Angelo M. Codevilla, professor, Foreign Service officer and senate intelligence expert says elvis is more alive the bin Laden. And you have U.S. Congressmen claiming that at Tora Bora the Bush Administration let him get away on purpose.

And then lets go way back, way back before all the hype and the wars....just as we were about to take that step into the wardrobe if you will...someone, not just someone, but a decorated intelligence veteran was saying this about Osama Bin Laden.

And of course even the FBI themselves don't specifically accuse Bin Laden of masterminding 9/11 as you can see here on their Most Wanted page. Rex Tomb, the FBI's Chief of Investigative Publicity said "The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11."

And even Dick Cheney admitted in 2006 that "We never made the case or argued the case that somehow Osama Bin Laden was directly involved in 9/11." Click here to hear the audio clip.

Wow. Somehow I had a different impression.

Many of these points are also covered in this excellent article or this one and throughout the web.

But in 2007 they were still talking about the Lion, the Sheikh...

If President Obama means to use the new Bin Laden video in his upcoming State of the Union speech as some have suggested, I would be surprised since the adminstration has not confirmed the authenticity of the tape.

In any case my favorite Bin Laden video is this one.

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?

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.
Ronald G Smith
Chief CBP Officer
Public Affairs Liaison
US Customs and Border Protection
Office of Field Operations


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.

Invasion of the Terror Snatchers? Second Witness Talks of Handcuffed Indian Taken Away

Besides witnessing a sharp dressed Indian man help the underwear bomber get on his flight without a passport, Kurt Haskell also witnessed the FBI take away a second Indian man in handcuffs after the plane landed and the passengers where at a customs area.

Now a second witness from the flight, Daniel Huisinga, reports also witnessing the Indian suspect handcuffed at customs. Here is his interview on MSNBC. Please note how the correspondent interviewing him quickly tries to dismiss what he saw as...someone who has now been released.

Oh dear, well apparently the FBI still have him in custody according to what they told Kurt Haskell who was interviewed today here. (The part about the FBI admitting they have another person in custody is about seven minutes into the interview.)

The Sharp Dressed Man (and his friend the underwear bomber)

Ok, maybe you believe we are in danger from all those angry crazies out there. Afterall, they are upset about our freedoms, they don't have a girlfriend and they might bring a plane down with you on it. True. They also might have a better chance if a "sharp dressed man" helps them.


or if you find UK news more appealing...



Of course this witness must be mistaken right? Otherwise that means someone was helping this guy on a terror watch list get on a plane without a passport, obviously someone who COULD help someone get on an international flight without a passport. Not something your average angry islamo-fascist can do, right? Even if he did just buy some rad clothes.


7:09 PM, UPDATE:

This has now been taken up by some more main stream media sources and the witness has been interviewed here:
