GORDON DUFF: “ON THE ROCKS,” THE RE-DEATH OF BIN LADEN’S FROZEN CORPSE (BBC/VT PODCAST)

THE "OSAMA-SICKLE"
THE FAIRY TALES START AGAIN…

Osama bin Laden’s death, who do you believe?




BBC WORLD SERVICE WITH VETERANS TODAY EDITORS ALAN SABROSKY AND GORDON DUFF DISCUSSING THE “DEATH” OF OSAMA BIN LADEN

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor


The incident this week in Abbottabad, Pakistan was always intended to be “self-discrediting.”  In a time of rigged voting machines and rule by decree, a time of military tribunals and tortured defendants, the concept of evidence and accountability is a joke.  Consider the current bin Laden farce what it was intended to be, the American government reminding its people and the people of the world how little respect it has for them.

There is no need for conspiracy theory, no need for talk of hoaxes, we have gone far beyond that.  Evidence of bin Laden’s death being covered up by the Bush administration is, not only overwhelming, but long ago entered the public domain.
As the hours pass and reality soaks in, a more serious question arises; “Why now?”
Newshounds and insiders are aware that Wikileaks has been proven to have ties to an intelligence organization hostile to, not just Iran and Pakistan but the United States as well.  Though the story broke last summer, it wasn’t until early December, 2010 that Zbigniew Brzezinski provided confirmation.  So when Wikileaks, only a few days ago, announced that a nuclear weapon had been placed “underneath” a major European target by “Al Qaeda” to be detonated upon the capture of Osama bin Laden, a man most knew to be dead for a decade, “insiders” became both fearful and vigilant.
Real insiders are far more wary of threats from Wikileaks than “Al Qaeda.”  They know Wikileak threats come true because they come from people capable of making them come true.

Two things happened:
  1. Intelligence agencies across Europe went on full alert, searching for a nuclear weapon
  2. A vigil began, seeing how many hours before Osama bin Laden’s corpse would be “killed” in a heroic episode of “counter-terrorism” that would also be used to damn Pakistan.
The idea of bin Laden’s death has settled in.  The factions have taken stock, conspiracy theorists, the government apologists and disinformationalists and the professionals.  Years ago, top military and intel insiders had all agreed bin Laden died in late 2001.  The CIA’s director, Leon Panetta, now Secretary of Defense stated, flat out, that nothing had been heard of bin Laden since “late 2001.”  By saying this, he indicated with categorical certainty, that all supposed Al Qaeda or bin Laden statements since that time were deemed “unreliable” by the CIA. 

Expect video of bin Laden’s killing to be released, medals to be given out, backs to be slapped and, as usual, pockets to be lined.  The videos could be as old as the frozen corpse of bin Laden himself, dumped into the Indian Ocean.

There has been little out of Washington DC since the “world domination” cabal, PNAC (Project for a New American Century) or the Brzezinski “World Chessboard” counterparts outlined the need for a “Pearl Harbour scale” event with a “cardboard cutout” boogeyman to act as backdrop for re-engineering the face of the planet.  After the “event,” we would see the seizure of Central Asia’s hydrocarbon resources, the collapse of the world’s monetary systems and a political upheaval to spread across the world that would leave every political institution in every country vulnerable to the dictates of an unseen “globalist” hand.

Is there any surprise that the “reported” killing of Osama bin Laden has not been accepted in the United States as more than “ho hum” news?  First off, the wingnuts have created a new Obama conspiracy and, as usual, they have gotten it totally wrong.  The staging of the bin Laden “street theatre” has far more ominous consequences than the simple manipulation of public opinion in the United States.
Now, out from under rocks, from the deepest recesses of the political world, the long discredited characters like Donald Rumsfeld, are now crawling out into the sunlight, fabricating wild conspiracy tales to support their criminal acts, the kidnapping, murder and torture that they inflicted on the world on a scale not seen since the death of Adolf Hitler.

Let’s not let facts get in the way.

First of all, for those of you who don’t know it, bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11, was charged with nothing about it.  Secondly, the criminal charges against bin Laden were not backed by any evidence, not enough for an honest indictment.
Osama bin Laden was a CIA fundraiser with no experience whatsoever in terrorist activities, military planning, weapons, explosives or leading people.  Furthermore, Sibel Edmonds, former FBI translator (and VT staff writer) had, during her employment, seen documents verifying Osama bin Laden’s continued service to the United States, even on 9/11/2001.  He was assisting the CIA in funding covert operations while the World Trade Center was being demolished and the documents prove it.

The reports released to the public, beginning with the falsified “death photo” published by the Associated Press to the stories of bin Laden using his wife as a “human shield” are, each, wilder than the rest.  Each story is carefully calculated to misdirect attention from real questions of import.  Asking how real or imaginary bin Laden, most likely no more alive than a chicken leg after a microwave defrost cycle, “acted” when confronted by 25 Navy Seals is no more valid than those dedicated to 9/11 Truth bickering about explosive compounds that brought down Building 7 when the real issues of who was responsible are allowed to “slip away” unnoticed like a thief in the night.

What can we say about Osama bin Laden?  He is certainly dead now and has, in all probability, been dead for a decade.  We can also expect that his “public” death will act as a harbinger of misfortune for the world, heralding a period of long calculated destabilization aimed at Pakistan and Iran, but ultimately striking the heart of America and NATO.

What we can expect is an act of carefully staged “false flag” revenge.
The frozen body of Osama bin Laden, very real “currency,” would not have been spent on less.

LIBYA AND DONALD TRUMP…

GORDON DUFF: SUNDAY MORNING “MAY DAY 2011″

May 1, 2011 posted by Gordon Duff ·

IF ONLY WE HAD THE MORAL CLARITY OF OLD LINE COMMUNISM IN OUR FACE AGAIN….


A LITTLE TALK RADIO
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

Those of us who remember the Cold War, can’t help but reflect on May 1.  Moscow and parades, red flags everywhere, announcements of new superweapons, of 3rd world leaders turning to socialism, the heady days of moral clarity replaced by the lateralism of the 21st century.  On even more reflection, that past we remember gains the stain of the present era, globalists, oil and banking cartels, as alive then as they are now, we just didn’t see it.  Increasingly, history is likely to show that one man, perhaps the most vilified man in history, had foreseen it all.
I’m not going there, this isn’t the day to resurrect the ghost of Adolf Hitler.  Until we do, however, until we deal with it honestly, we will never know how we got where we are today. We have other “fish to fry,” as it were, today.
It’s about truth.  What we get now is mythology, the offal of a long diet of wartime propaganda certified as history and pop culture.  Without truth, there is slavery.  Thus, we move on to Libya and try to play with that evasive and too often esoteric element of perception, “truth.”  Talking about truth isn’t enough.  You have to “do’ truth.  Let’s take a shot at it.

LIBYA
Yesterday, NATO air strikes killed Saif Al Arab, the 29 year old son of Colonel Gaddafi.  Libya, of course, is playing the death to the hilt, milking it for public relations play as best they can.  But, is this wrong?  Let’s take a moment to look at the situation.
Back in February, we recommended quick air strikes against Gaddafi.  Curiously, some purporting to support the rebels opposed US intervention.  All the while, the real rebels were being slaughtered and were screaming for American help.
This early duplicity, bought by Gaddafi and his army of Washington propagandists (mostly Bush insiders and some rented from the Israeli lobby) would set the tone for one of the nastiest disinformation campaigns in history.

Back to reality.

Assessments showed the rebels to be joined by inferior and poorly organized military forces, to have no backing anywhere and to be a genuine reformist political movement as in Tunisia, Egypt and other nations.
“Surgical strikes” on command and control would have pushed the military to the rebels and Gaddafi would have gotten the “deal of the century” to leave.  Egypt and Libya could have formed a loose coalition as had been proposed in the past and a progressive and moderate bloc of democratic regimes could emerge to replace the sheikdoms and dictatorships that have, so profitably for some, helped destabilize the world.
That ship hasn’t entirely sailed already.  Egypt now stands alone in its move to open the Gaza blockade.
If both Gaddafi and the rebels chose to offer support for Egypt in this, it could offer an opening for many things in the region.  This may be a time when something more important than Arabs killing each other should be considered.
Waiting in the wings were two plots.  One was hatched in Switzerland, to force Gaddafi into alienating France and Italy.  The initial move in that plot?  One of Gaddafi’s sons was beaten up and arrested by Swiss authorities in 2008, a “set up.”
Who are the players?  Banks, call them “Rothschild” or call them, more accurately, “the Federal Reserve,” wanted to seize Libya’s cash reserves that were left a bit too vulnerable.  As time has dragged on, that plot is now in full motion and billions are being swindled from the Libyan people.
That should have been stopped and could have been prevented.
The second plot is oil.
The big winners after 2003 were BP and Haliburton.  The ‘Bush/Blair’ camp made and is making billions in Libya.  Not only that, Gaddafi agreed to fund anything else they were doing, as he funded elections in France and Italy.  The rapprochement with Libya was more like something out of The Godfather than international relations.  When Tony Blair went to Gaddafi in 2004, he went as consigliere for the Bush/Cheney/Blair crime families.
He was there to carve out “territories.”  Bush, Cheney and Blair got a big piece of Libya while Gaddafi got, well, the meeting could actually have been out of the movie itself;
Sollozzo (Gaddafi): Bene, Don Corleone. I need a man who has powerful friends. I need a million dollars in cash. I need, Don Corleone, all of those politicians that you carry around in your pocket, like so many nickels and dimes

Conciliegere Tom Hagen looks on..
Don Corleone (Blair): What is the interest for my family?
Sollozzo (Gaddafi): Thirty percent. In the first year your end should be three, four million dollars.(plus oil contracts for BP and weapons contracts for BAE)  And then it would go up.
Don Corleone (Blair): And what is the interest for the Tattalgia(Bush/Cheney) family?
Sollozzo (Gaddafi): [smiles at Tom] My compliments [Conciligiere Tom Hagen gives a formal nod]
Sollozzo (Gaddafi): I’ll take care of the Tattaglias (Bush/Cheney), out of my share.
Don Corleone (Blair): So, I am to receive thirty percent for finance, for legal protection and political influence. Is that what you’re telling me?
Sollozzo (Gaddafi): That’s right.
As the situation has “matured” into a full scale tribal/civil war, with forces from a dozen countries or more “not so covertly” taking part, that second cabal, the “oil thieves” are already carving up Libya and its oil and gas reserves.  This also could have been prevented.
How do we know this?

The United Nations Security Council authorized use of force in Libya to protect civilian lives.  No mention was made of “regime change” or assassination yet, from this March 21, 2011 headline from the Daily Mail:
There had been no value judgements in the United Nations debate on intervention, no decisions as to the validity of the Gaddafi government but rather an authorization of a limited response based on humanitarian issues only.  This was how things began.  As time went on, the rats awakened.
In fact, whenever things seem to move well for the rebels or Gaddafi, either one, there is more than minor evidence that the application of force by NATO was ramped up or withdrawn to “play” the conflict for a broad international audience.
Additionally, wild rumors about Al Qaeda or CIA involvement with rebel forces was played much the same way, filling the press one day and denied as “wingnut conspiracy theory” the next, sometimes by the same sources.
Settle it!  Cease fire!  Gaddafi isn’t leaving, get used to it, certainly not leaving “with his tail between his legs.”
Gaddafi isn’t Mubarak.

DONALD TRUMP AND VIETNAM, “IT AIN’T JUST DONALD”

Last week, Donald Trump was caught in a lie involving his lack of military service.  He told reporters he had a “high draft number” and missed service in Vietnam because of that.  He thought that story would fly.  Veterans Today picked up the story on March 31.

Trump had been approached by The Veterans Revolution, a highly reputable and respected group in Los Angeles that works without funding to support the needs of homeless veterans.  When they asked Trump for help, his handlers gave them a major smackdown.

They very carefully explained that Donald Trump was not interested in working with veterans.
We also knew there was a dark and nasty secret behind “the Donald’s” lack of military service during the Vietnam War.

10 million American served in the military during the war, almost 3 million in Vietnam.
75% of those who served in Vietnam were volunteers.  I was one of them, serving as a Marine infantryman in I Corps.  Like over 2 million others that served in Vietnam, like over 7 million that served in America’s military during the war, I volunteered.

That is simply what most Americans did at that time.  It was considered our duty as Americans.
What we learned is that, for 5 years, Donald Trump received deferment after deferment, first college, then graduate school and finally, after being found healthy and fit for years, when his student deferments ran out, he suddenly became “unfit” for service.
But, it wasn’t just Donald Trump.  Music by CCR with John Fogerty, sit down for a minute and look for some of America’s self proclaimed national heroes:



*Currently, nearly half the people featured on this video are facing indictment outside the United States for Crimes Against Humanity
This is just too convenient.

At that time, reserve units and National Guard did not routinely serve on active duty and very very seldom in Vietnam.
Those with resources who choose to avoid military service but not leave the country typically, if they had either “luck” or, more likely political connections, were put in National Guard units.
Congress is filled with such people, those who back war but ducked service are called Chickenhawks.

NOW STARRING DONALD TRUMP
Trump was caught in a lie but Trump, at least, took the question.  Did anyone ever ask President Bush, “How did you get into the National Guard when there were no openings?”  Try following that up with questions about going AWOL or failed drug tests and you will be faced with a stonewall of classified documents, things that are public record for every other citizen.  Criminal records?  Yes, those too!
Rather than belaboring the persecution of Donald “the Chump” Trump, the kind of screw-up that President Obama must have been praying for, we can make our minor point, and close for the morning:
The question isn’t whether Donald Trump had his medical records falsified so he could avoid military service.
The point is that Donald Trump believed that claiming to have a “high draft number” was an excuse for not serving his country.  (Notwithstanding the fact that there were no “draft numbers” given out until Donald Trump had already avoided services for over 5 years
Those who volunteered and those who accepted the draft are dishonored by, not only Trump but the entire gang as well.
Singling out Trump isn’t fair.  Nobody has forgiven any of them, and it goes much further than Trump and it never stopped as 10 years of “invisible war” and “throwaway veterans” teaches us every day.
…and so it goes…

Slander vs. Sanity

The weblog of Ken O'Keefe

The last week and a half has been increasingly entertaining, albeit in a seriously dangerous way.  First I had the head of an Irish charity send me a message threatening to expose me as a fraudster and extortionist.  My plan, apparently, involved producing a video of a poor and suffering child in Gaza (Areej) and soliciting funds to be given not to me, but to the Irish charity.  Then I would extort the money from the family by use of a Palestinian collaborator (a Facebook “friend”), but of course, only after the charity gave them the money I had raised with the video.  They never really explained why I had the money sent to their charity in the first place.

I responded to the threat by posting her accusations on Facebook and soliciting facts about how much money was sent to the charity.  I then visited the family to hear their side of the story.
Revisiting Areej & family in order to get to the bottom of what I am being accused of.
A few days later I received the following email through a close friend and Chief Legal Advisor to Aloha Palestine CIC, the non-profit social enterprise I set up in 2008 to conduct trade with Palestine.

Greetings, 
I am wondering of you are still acting for Ken O’Keefe – you are still on his Aloha (Palestine) Website. I wish to sue him from here to eternity and want to be sure where to send the letters.
Kind regards, 
Felicity Arbuthnot.


I responded on April 26th with the following.
Aloha Felicity,
First off let me thank you and all the others who are a continuous source of motivation, I simply could not have done all that I am doing without you. 
FYI; Daniel Machover is a dear friend and has been invaluable for Aloha Palestine’s mission, but he will be of no use to you with regard to any legal matters directed at me.  He is not my personal legal counsel.   
I have been living in Gaza for 5 months now and I can receive mail at our Samouni Project address;
Samouni Project 
Al-xxxxxx Street
Gaza City
Gaza Strip
Palestinian Authorities
DHL is just about the only way for delivery, I should have the papers in less than a week if you can get them in the mail right away.  Wish that there were a quicker way, but I will just have to wait unless you would be so kind as to send me an email copy as well.  That would be lovely, can’t wait to hear from you, please do keep up the good work. 
TJP, 
Ken O’Keefe   

I am awaiting Felicitiy’s response.

Now Felicity is one of the many figures in and around the Human Shield Action to Iraq that I created in late 2002.  She is also one of the “seasoned activist” nut cases whose mission in life is to convince the world that the devil incarnate is alive, and his name is Ken O’Keefe.
Joining the circus yesterday was another Facebook “friend”, one who had supposedly put me in her will as the beneficiary of her land in Texas.  In a shocking turnaround, over the course of less than 24 hours, she realised that my upcoming trade mission to Gaza was merely a ploy to exploit the suffering of the Palestinians in order for me to make “millions”.  She provided no evidence of this, but also decided to name my wife several times and stated that I was committing adultery here in Gaza; all this just 4 days after my wife gave birth in London… without me.

In the case of accusing me of having sex with women in Gaza, this accusation puts me, and the woman I know here at serious risk.  The accusation of a married, non-Muslim man, committing adultery with Palestinian women is reckless endangerment at best, a willful intent to do harm at worst.
Should I be compelled to dignify these charges with a response?  I think not.  But for the sake of everyone’s safety, I categorically condemn such charges as criminal and 100% false.

UPDATE – I have just been given messages sent to two other Facebook friends in which the following was said;
OMG!!!!! I had that go through my mind to!! Because, ken has taken money from everyone! In the thousands! Wonder how much he got from Vik (Vittorio Arrigoni)!!! There is this other guy that is going with ken and I know he is going to die while he is there. He put $45,000 dollars into ken just a few days ago. And he will be along side Ken. I think it will be easier for Ken to kill him than be obligated to him for the money or even pay him back some of the money. Ken is suppose to make millions on the gig and the guy who put in $45,000 is promised that he will get a little something back. But, I don’t this this (sic) guy will make it back alive. – Jo Ann Wescott
Jo Ann Wescott’s profile picture complete with my TJP logo.

Two of these cases involve Facebook hero worshippers becoming highly injurious to my interests, with the latter case becoming as hateful as a jilted lover… despite me never having never met her personally.
So what does all this mean?  Well I guess from the point of view of those who are not me, and thus do not know the truth as only God and myself can know it, questions will arise, doubts will form.  And that’s really the point now isn’t it?

The other point of slander is to divert attention from more useful matters, such as setting up the Samouni family classroom and community centre, or from challenging the Israeli blockade of Gaza on every level.
It goes without saying that the real winners in a slander campaign like this is the enemies of Palestine.  When you say and do the things I do, there is simply no way to secure the favour of everyone, to the contrary, the Zionist and American imperialists and their minions will come after you.

I accept this, I really do, I have never been one for popularity contests and I have always chosen quality over quantity.  Idiot allies are liabilities more than friends; I count myself lucky to shed them.  I also realize that my path is inherently dangerous, with the ever-present possibility of torture, kidnapping, imprisonment and death by murder.  So slander is, quite frankly, a rather mild and amusing tactic of my enemies.  But there can be no ignoring the fact that the frequency of these attacks, and I am sure moving forward, the intensity of the attacks, will run parallel to my increasing ability to get good and meaningful things done for the cause of justice.

In my chosen path success is inherently proportionate to risk, so over the coming weeks I volunteer myself as a sort of human bait, my mission, to lure the nut cases, to expose the nature of subversion through slander.  Together we shall take a course in how it works and who is behind it.

Lesson number one, the actual agents who direct slander campaigns, those working for MI6, CIA, Mossad and other so-called “intelligence” agencies, they and their tactics are rendered useless without the presence of the most important element for successful subversion, and that would be… the idiots.

Make no mistake, the idiot is the key to subversion, and we as a movement have a ready supply.  Indeed they are pervasive throughout our so-called “movement”. Without the idiots, or as I choose to refer to them, the clowns who comprise the circus, the agents of tyranny would easily be exposed and their tactics rendered utterly useless.  This being one massive step in the right direction.

Thankfully, more and more of us are capable of using our brain and thus we aware of the tried and true tactics of divide and rule; in other words, more and more of us are not idiots.  This is promising, gives me increased confidence that we as a people are about to behold a great irony, that we are indeed our own gatekeepers, holding the keys to the prison to which we have constructed for ourselves, haplessly awaiting liberation at the behest of some illusory saviour.

It has been said, “Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.”  Ain’t that the truth.  You gotta laugh really, if you fail to maintain a sense of humour, end up taking all this madness to seriously, you will indeed become a participant in the collective state of insanity that defines human kind for many millennia.  We are indeed nuts; clowns in our own mad circus.

As amusing as it all is, and it is amusing, I am wanting for something more, something sane, something just, something human.  And then I look to the younger ones and I smile.  I look to them and I see those who are leading the Arab revolutions.  I look to them and see the coming Global revolution.  Whereas I was part of Generation X, I see them as Generation TJP.  The next generation is bringing Truth Justice & Peace and I can see it all too clearly.  They are the younger ones, and they just aren’t buying the bullshit.

I do not intend to be one of the old farts feeling nostalgic about yesterday’s world; yesterday’s world is bullshit.  The “War on Terror”, “austerity measures”, presidential and prime ministerial puppets, economic slavery and the prostitution of journalism, all of it, bullshit.

Instead I intend to collaborate with the younger ones, the ones of wisdom and integrity, people who are breaking free of the chains of indoctrination and ignorance, who can see the forest through the trees and who know a brother when they see one.

As long as I am on Facebook I accept that the nutters and the false allies will stalk me, but as long as I continue to enjoy the benefits of working with people of conscience in the creation of a better world, it is worth it.

Through me, let us look at the clowns as entertainment, and try not to get to distracted.
Stay tuned for the executive summary of my “millionaire” making trade convoy, to be announced in the next 24 hours.

VIDEO : No-Fly Zone over Gaza — Petition

I don't think U .N. Security Council, who established a Yes Siege Zone on Gaza may Establish a “No Fly Zone” over Gaza. Why not establish a FREE SAIL ZONE.

I can't forget the No Fly Zon on Iraq , the stupidity of calling Nato to impose a No Fly zone on Libya.

In case it happened, I am afraid it will be nothing more an umbrailla for target killings, legalizing the siege, and at the end turing Gaza into a NO RESISTANCE ZONE.

No issue in modern history has endured more words, more speeches, more conferences, more peace initiatives, more promises, and more photo-ops, than Israel’s 44 year illegal occupation of over 3 million Palestinians.

World Governments and International Bodies have failed to bring an end to this occupation and establish a free, independent Palestinian State for refugees in their own land.
Thus it is up to us, you and me, people from around the world to stand up and demand an end to this illegal occupation that has thus far paralyzed and humiliated the world, our humanity, and what we all believe in, justice for all.
Signing is the simplest activism for justice for the Palestinians. Let your name and signature be the weapon for peace and justice for the Palestinians and peace and security for the Israeli people. A free Palestine means a secure Israel.
Thank you.
