Bin Swindled . . .

Perhaps the most simultaneously sad and humorous aspect of the warmongers' effective war on Americans and international sensibilities has been in the field of "psy-ops" or psychological warfare. The sad aspect of it is due to the proximity that we have now come to George Orwell's classic 1984, whereby governments wage perpetual war in a game of shifting alliances designed to maintain allegiances to Big Brother. Nowhere is this more in evidence than with the mythology associated with Bin Laden, the catch all bugaboo able to be invoked against any and all fears, domestic or international. The sad reality is that, like so many aspects of the warmongers lies, the Al Qaeda myth is largely a chimera. While at this time it is not worth deconstructing the critical mythologies regarding the September 11th Twin Tower bombings, it may suffice to nibble around the edges. But at a minimum it may be helpful to relate some of the astounding and comprehensive first person reportage of Oxford educated and Arabic speaking Jason Burke, whose decade long reporting on radical Islam caused him to expose the fact that there was no such "Al Qaeda" as an effective organization prior to September 11th, but it rather was an effective US appellation to mobilize a coherent response target. Radical clerics Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri were willing to step into the breach because of the enhanced prestige associated with such attacks, though they played only a tangential at best role in the attacks. Never mind the role that Bin Laden played in Afghanistan as an agent to disrupt the Soviet Union. Never mind Bush's dead or alive rhetoric. Never mind the amazing escape that he was able to pull right from the noses of the American military. You may even ignore the claims by at least one member of Congress that he's dead. The most beautiful aspect is that he has clearly morphed into the realm of the surreal: an instrinsic part of US propaganda designed to pacify and control an otherwise slumbering host. A number of prominent observers and academics are quite convinced that the most recent Osama bin Laden tapes released are forgeries (Wayne Madsen, Kevin Barrett, Bruce Lawrence). Without adding much more to the discussion, the most obvious aspect of the fraudulence of the videotape is the mentioning of Bill Blum and the fact that the "quote" "Osama" cited, was from a book other than what he mentioned. How many William Blum books are we to expect that Osama has?

Well, such details matter very little for a CIA that breeds and needs ignorance and fear among its minions. The best example can be seen on the rather laughable CIA "honeypot" jihadunspun.com. This snazzy little website purports to bring you the latest from the frontlines of jihad, and can offer you the limited edition ten years of war video of Osama Bin Laden (this is not a joke) and the Al Qaeda Strategy Plan. Weazl hasn't been the first to identify the chicanery. In fact, a both a group called the the Wisdom Fund tried to smoke the CIA from behind the veil, as well as Information ClearingHouse. The Wisdom Fund even posted extensive email correspondence with the elusive Bev Kennedy, who purports to be some Caucasian Canadian so upset with the responses to 9/11 that she somehow was able to start up a website that connected to all of the jihadis fighting half a world away. On the site, she has a ten page resume that fails to include her places of education, and jobs, none of which seem verifiable, like with either an ADDRESS or CITY. And their contempt for the intelligence of the readers is revealed by their "library". Notice that all of the articles stem from a seven month period during with ten articles are written on ONE DAY and 14 written on another (August 21, 2002)

Of course, this nifty little outfit runs from that great terror state Canada, but nevertheless the US State Department cannot seem to shut it down, despite the fact that the aforementioned Wisdom Fund located their exact address through trace routs of their ISP. But it seems quite clear that if you purchased one of their limited edition videos or became a member, you could be potentally prosecuted under section 2339B of the United States Code, could be punished by a prison term of up to 15 years, and under an aggressive interpretation of the statute you could be punished with a life sentence.

But of course, this may be a grand conspiracy. After all sites like jihadunspun.com may be not be part of a disinformation campaign by the CIA, but may be trying to unravel such conspiracies. So, for example, you can go to their site to get a full description of the controversial theories surrounding 9/11. Unfortunately, it's a dead button.

These guys are morons. Their incompetence is beyond belief. No wonder they lost the war.
