Panel Prepares to Target Bogus “Homegrown Terror”

Kurt Nimmo
December 26, 2007

*Please note the correction suggested by Charles Shoebridge in the comment below

On December 25, Audrey Hudson wrote for the Washington Times:

A commission proposed by key senators would study the emergence of homegrown terrorists and how U.S. citizens become radicalized through ideologies to commit acts of violence.

The National Commission on the Prevention of Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism is the brainchild of Sen. Joe Lieberman, Connecticut independent and chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the ranking Republican member.

“The homeland security committee’s extensive and ongoing investigation into homegrown terrorism has confirmed to our committee that this is a real and growing threat to our nation’s security,” Miss Collins said.

“The attacks in London and Madrid, as well as the recent thwarted attacks in the U.S., were the work of homegrown terrorists inspired by, but not directly linked, to al Qaeda,” Miss Collins said. “But we do not yet fully understand what inspires someone to become a violent terrorist.

Senator Collins has absolutely no evidence of this and simply regurgitates the now official fairy tale version of events in regard to the attacks in London and Madrid.

In London, the so-called “homegrown terrorist,” Mohammed Siddique Khan, allegedly behind the bombings was in fact working for MI5. Charles Shoebridge, a 12-year veteran detective of the London Metropolitan Police, has suggested Khan may have been attached to British intelligence. As the UK Independent noted soon after the bombings, the official story makes absolutely no sense. And yet another supposed homegrowner, Haroon Rashid Aswat, was an MI6 intelligence asset protected by British security, according to terror expert John Loftus.

It should serve as a big fat red flag that José Emilio Suárez Trashorras, a Spaniard accused of providing explosives for the Madrid attacks, had in his possession the telephone number of the Head of Tedax, Juan Jesus Sanchez Manzano. Tedax is Spain’s Civil Guard bomb squad, a specialized division of the Spanish police. In addition, the Moroccan Jamal Zougam, said to be the leader of Spain’s al-Qaida cell, was connected to Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri and London’s Finsbury Park Mosque. Abu Hamza al-Masri admitted during his trial on terrorism charges that “he had met several times with police officers and members of the MI5 spy service,” according to the Associated Press. As it turns out, al-Muhajiroun, and thus al-Masri, are connected to British, U.S., Pakistani, and German intelligence, and worked for NATO in Kosovo.

But not a word about any of this from the good senator. Instead we get the following: “If we have a better understanding of the origins of violent extremist behavior, we can disrupt terrorist plans.”

If Collins really wants to understand “violent extremist behavior,” she might do a bit of consulting with the CIA, FBI, MI5 and MI6, Israeli, Pakistani and German intelligence.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and others in the intelligence community have warned the committee that homegrown terrorism is a significant threat.

A bipartisan commission would provide “a better understanding of the radicalization process that leads to terrorist attacks, and ways that we can work to help prevent terror attacks before they occur,” Miss Collins said.

The commission would examine how ideology can cause radicalization leading to violence and then report its findings and recommendations to the president and Congress.

In fact, the “significant threat” comes from the above mentioned “intelligence” and “security” organizations, not homegrowners inspired by al-Qaeda, itself a documented intelligence contrivance.

As if to underscore the bogus nature of the homegrown terrorist threat, consider the fact that a jury has acquitted one of the Liberty City 7, Lyglenson Lemorin, and failed to convict the other six.

“The judge declared a mistral on all unresolved charges,” writes Emmanuel Lopez. The “seven men from the critically impoverished South Florida community of Liberty City were never connected to any maps, written plans or weapons that could back these overzealous claims.” In fact, all of this “evidence” was arranged by the FBI and an agent provocateur. “The warehouse where the group allegedly was hatching their plot was paid for and provided by the FBI… It was a government informant who provided the initial suggestion that they join with Al-Qaeda. The informant provided them with a camera and car to photograph buildings in Miami… Two informants, who were paid $130,000 dollars to work on the case, have questionable pasts. One informant, a former snitch for the New York Police Department, promised to work against the Liberty City 7 to overcome charges of beating his girlfriend.”

Obviously, the government should be setting up a national commission to investigate the criminal behavior of the FBI, not illusory homegrown terrorists inspired by a fictional terror organization named after a Mujahideen database.

But never mind. As we know, the real purpose of the National Commission on the Prevention of Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism, hatched by a known AIPAC operative, senator Joe Lieberman, is to investigate political activity frowned upon by the government, for instance the antiwar and patriot movements.

    In the interests of accuracy and good journalistic practice, I would be grateful for your changing this article to reflect the fact that, contrary to the article’s current contents, I have never stated that “Mohammed Siddique Khan, allegedly behind the (London) bombings was in fact working for MI5.”

    What I have said is that, considering all the circumstances, it is a possibility that Khan was an informant for the intelligence services. This is quite a step from stating that he actually was so.

    I would be grateful therefore for your amending your article to accurately reflect that I have suggested that Khan may have been working for MI5.

    Please feel free to be in touch if you wish to discuss any aspect of this issue.

    Best wishes,

    Charles Shoebridge

    The article above does not quote Mr. Shoebridge as having stated that Mohammed Siddique Khan was definitely working for MI5. It accurately quotes him as suggesting that Khan may have been working for British intelligence.

  4. S. Wolf Britain on December 27th, 2007

    So right, Kurt, and so well said! One of the best of many very good articles that you’ve written thus far!

    INVESTIGATE THE “FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVETERATE-TERRORISTS” AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZED CRIME, GANGSTERISM, ETC., AND HOW TO CURTAIL AND PREVENT THEIR HOMEGROWN TERRORISM, NOT INNOCENT CITIZENS AND/OR THOSE BEING SET UP TO BE PATSIES BY THE AFORESAID GOVERNMENT ENFORCERS FOR THE GOVERNMENT MOB IN ORDER TO FRAUDULENTLY “LEGITIMIZE” THE COMPLETELY BOGUS ENDLESS “WAR (OF) TERRORISM”, WHICH IS IN ACTUALITY A GOVERNMENT MOB-WAR AGAINST FREEDOM AND FREE CITIZENS, ALL IN COMPLETE VIOLATION AND ILLEGAL ABROGATION OF LONG-STANDING LAW(S) AND THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, THE U.S. BILL OF RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTION, AND MANY ASSOCIATED LAWS, DECLARATIONS AND/OR TREATIES, THAT BY VIRTUE OF THEIR INCORPORATION WITH THE CONSTITUTION, ALSO MAKES THEM THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND AS WELL!

    The only “homegrown terrorists” that have become “radicalized” through “ideologies” to commit acts of violence, are politicians who support fake wars and happily accept bribes from special interest groups.

    When they show me they are less dangerous than a American who asks questions and demand answers, I’ll dumb myself down and believe this “homegrown terrorist” hoax.

    Till then…

    These comments are appreciated, but not as much as RPGs being distributed to the citizenryy, to take down Government helicopters, criminal indictments against lying cops and those who practise daylight and nightime black ops such as illegal home entries, and a large guillotine set up on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washingtron D.C. for all Skull & Bones members, and all those responsible for the rape and robbery of this nation. Please hang Condoleeza Rice on MLK Day. And begin a national account of police crime with the unaccountable Las Vegas Police Department. See my profile at http://www.helium.com/user/show/89941

    It would be good to have the information about this panel and when it will convene hearings (or do whatever it is supposed to do) so that truthful information can be supplied to it and so that lies can be confronted by truthful people.

    Without the provision of truthful, vetted, documented information… there can be no confrontation of lies.

    Truth now. Get truth into the hands, minds and hearts of key people and everyone else.

    Truth now. Never give up.

    Indict the US government officials who planned and carried out the 9/11
    attacks.

    A preponderance of evidence shows that the highest officials of
    the Bush Administration, in collusion with officials from the Pentagon,
    CIA, FBI, FEMA, NSA, NORAD, airline executives, and others, together
    planned and committed the attacks of 9/11, which were subsequently
    blamed on some bogus “Arab highjackers.” The 9/11 attacks provided the
    excuse for the US government’s “War on Terrorism,” the chief purpose of
    which is for the USA to gain control of the oil fields of the Middle
    East. A secondary purpose is to increase taxation of Americans for
    Defense spending in support of the USA’s enormous Military/Industrial
    Complex, and a tertiary purpose is the justification of the enactment
    of Police-State measures within the USA under the umbrella of “Homeland
    Security.”
    The Pentagon, CIA, FBI, and other agencies and officials of the US
    Government have perpetrated many crimes, assassinations, and bombings
    against US citizens and US interests during the past 45 years,
    including the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK; the 1993 WTC bombing;
    the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing; and the anthrax letter attacks of
    October 2001. Since the end of WW2, right-wing ideologues with
    corporate ties have gradually gained control of the US military, the
    intelligence agencies, and the US government. Fascism in the USA is not
    merely a threat posed by the Bush Administration; it is an already
    accomplished situation that has been decades in the making.
    The USA’s descent into fascism cannot be halted or stopped merely
    by electing a Democrat to the Presidency or by electing a Democrat
    majority to Congress. The infiltration and control of the US government
    by right-wing extremists is far too advanced and complete — they
    manipulate our elected officials like puppets on a string, and many of
    our elected officials are themselves part of the fascist establishment.
    The right-wing takeover of the US government has been a gradual and
    very successful fascist coup that will not be reversed without a very
    serious struggle. Given the history of extreme and indiscriminate
    violence shown by the ruling junta, it appears quite likely to me that
    that restoring democracy to the USA would require an armed struggle.
    As a US citizen and as a human being, I personally view the
    killing of innocent people in foreign countries by the CIA and the US
    military in support of the interests of US corporations as immoral and
    intolerable, and I consider it my duty to oppose US aggression in any
    way that I can. There is nothing noble or “heroic” about unprovoked
    military aggression and genocide.
    I realize that there are some very worthy reasons to oppose
    capital punishment in many situations. However, it is also quite
    apparent to me that clemency for the US government perpetrators of the
    9/11 attacks leaves open the possibility that they and their
    sympathizers could revive their subversion of American democracy and
    their violence toward peace-loving Americans. That is why I advocate a
    policy of capital punishment without mercy for the perpetrators of the
    9/11 attacks.
    George W, George H, Jeb, Neil, and Marvin Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld,
    Rice, Rove, Wolfowitz, Powell, Armitage, Ashcroft, Mueller, Tenet,
    Goss, Giuliani, Hayden, Chertoff, Baker and scores of other individuals
    working for the White House, CIA, FBI, FEMA, the Pentagon, NSA, and
    NORAD together planned and executed the 9/11 attacks. All of the above-
    named and their accomplices need to be tried for Treason and mass
    murder, with the death penalty as the reward for their conviction of
    those crimes.
    We need a Nuremberg-style trial for Treason and mass murder for
    all of the members of the US government, the US military, the US
    intelligence agencies, and their civilian accomplices in the airline
    industry who participated in the murderous crimes of 9/11. The death
    penalty should be applied to all of the principals and their
    accomplices, even if that means executing several hundred or even
    several thousand people, because crimes against the Republic of this
    magnitude cannot go unpunished, and the punishment must be extreme to
    send a message that the American people will not tolerate such Treason
    now or in the future. If allowed to remain unpunished and at liberty,
    these individuals represent a grave threat to the safety and security
    of all Americans. If convicted of the heinous crimes of 9/11, the death
    penalty is the only way to ensure that they will not somehow manage to
    attack America and Americans again.
    No one in or out of the US government should be exempt from
    prosecution and capital punishment for the Treasonous attacks of 9/11.
    The planners and participants in the 9/11 attacks within the US
    government and their accomplices must not be allowed to protect
    themselves behind the excuse of “National Security.” The true security
    and survival of our Republic depends entirely on this.

    Of course they need an excuse to round us up. The truth movement does deserve credit for never having caused a terrorist attack. Nevertheless, it behooves all truthers to familiarize themselves with basic principles of nonviolent resistance.

    I am the primary advocate of nonviolence in the 911truth movement, having spoken on nonviolence at national conferences in 2005,2006, and 2007. Most of the truth movement exhibits contempt for this topic. I have been banned from 911blogger and removed from the grassroots contact list at 911truth.org.

    I am the co-founder of dc911truth.org, which now stands strongly against discussion of nonviolence. Detailed discussion of this problem can be found in my essay “Call for Mediation”(8/7/07) at my website 911courage.org.

    I agree we should investigate the FBI. I have proposed an action far too daring for most truthers. We could make a website listing the suspicious and laudable actions of the FBI as regards the war on terror. We could use a succinct URL, and I will stand outside the Hoover building with a banner seeking FBI whistleblowers. This idea has been suppressed.

    Complements to Alex Jones for his excellent form during his civil disobedience arrest in NYC in September of 2007. I liked that he complemented the arresting officers for their professionalism.

    HR 1955/S 1959 is not a done deal, yet. Please contact your Senators and voice opposition. Cite articles in opposition to the act.

    Let’s counter with our own “False Flag Prevention Act.” We can circulate an international petition for a ban on false flag attacks!

    HR 1955/S 1959 is not a done deal, yet. Please contact your US seantors and voice opposition.

    Let’s counter with a global “False Flag Prevention Act.” We can circulate an international petition banning false flag attacks. After all, a false flag attack is an act of war against the nation falsely accused.
