"Investigators finds gaps in port security program"
"by Hope Yen, Associated Press Writer | May 27, 2008
WASHINGTON --A Department of Homeland Security program to strengthen port security has gaps that terrorists could exploit to smuggle weapons of mass destruction in cargo containers, congressional investigators have found....
Congress has been working to improve port security after the independent Sept. 11 commission cited the potential dangers in its 2004 final report."
The 9/11 Commission, huh?
So where is the port strike coming from, readers? Not hard to figure out:
"Pakistan must strike back against terrorism, Chertoff asserts; US, NATO worry over peace deals"
BAGRAM, Afghanistan - The US homeland security chief called on Pakistan's new government yesterday to strike back against terrorism in its regions bordering Afghanistan or face more attacks of the kind that killed former premier Benazir Bhutto.
Michael Chertoff's comments come as the Pakistani government is pursuing peace deals with militant groups.
Oh, and CUI BONO?
The United States and NATO have expressed concern that such deals give extremists space to plan and execute attacks on foreign forces in Afghanistan, where American troops have seen a rise in violence in recent weeks.
But Pakistan's new leaders appear determined to set a different course than the previous government led by allies of US-backed President Pervez Musharraf, which relied heavily on military force to battle extremist fighters.
Militancy in the border areas is a threat to both countries, and Pakistan should "make sure it asserts control and strikes back against terrorism" on its side, Chertoff told journalists after a citizenship ceremony at the US base at Bagram in Afghanistan.
"Otherwise they're going to see more of the kinds of tragedies that we saw with [former Pakistani Prime Minister] Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated, or some of the bombings we've seen over the last few months in Pakistan as well as Afghanistan," he said.
Did I call that or what?! CUI BONO?
As for Bhutto's assassination, everyone knows that was an INSIDE JOB!!
Notice how the MSM NEVER BOTHERED to INVESTIGATE any of the many anomalies surrounding her killing, readers?
Seems familiar (9/11), doesn't it, Americans? CUI BONO?
Pakistan's foreign office spokesman declined to comment on Chertoff's remarks late yesterday.
Chertoff said the United States has made a lot of progress in Afghanistan since 2001, when American-led forces ousted the Taliban militant movement for hosting Osama bin Laden. But the country still requires dedication by US and other allied forces, he said.
Another fucking AmeriKan liar!!!!
Afghanistan has seen a sharp rise in violence in the last year, even as the United States and NATO have poured thousands of new troops into the country. The United States now has some 33,000 troops in Afghanistan, the most ever.
But we are winning -- even if our supply lines are being attacked.
The new Pakistani government, led by Bhutto's party which triumphed over Musharraf allies in February elections, has insisted that it will only negotiate with militants who lay down their arms and not "terrorists."
Unless the U.S feels like using them against Iran, then, well....
Oh, just in case you don't think an attack is coming on America, the fascista apparatus assures us one is:
"Spooks Promise Terror Attack For New President; Both Clinton and Bush exploited bombings within first year of taking office, Obama or McCain likely to enjoy the same opportunity"by Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
"National intelligence spooks are all but promising that history will be repeated for a third time running, and the new President of the United States - likely Barack Obama or John McCain - will be welcomed into office by a terror attack that will occur within the first year of his tenure.
"When the next president takes office in January, he or she will likely receive an intelligence brief warning that Islamic terrorists will attempt to exploit the transition in power by planning an attack on America, intelligence experts say," according to a report in the Washington Times.
"Islamic terrorists bombed the World Trade Center in February 1993, in Mr. Clinton's second month as president. Al Qaeda's Sept. 11 attacks came in the Bush presidency's first year....The pattern is clear to some national security experts. Terrorists pay particular attention to a government in transition as the most opportune window to launch an attack."
Naturally, the Washington Times article makes out as if a terror attack within the early stages of a new presidency is a bad thing, but both Clinton and Bush exploited terror in America to realize preconceived domestic and geopolitical agendas.
The 1993 World Trade Center bombing was an inside job from start to finish - it did not come as a "surprise" to the U.S. government since they ran the entire operation, having cooked the bomb for the "Islamic terrorists" that they had groomed for the attack.
In 1993 the FBI planted their informant, Emad A. Salem, within a radical Arab group in New York led by Ramzi Yousef. Salem was ordered to encourage the group to carry out a bombing targeting the World Trade Center's twin towers. Under the illusion that the project was a sting operation, Salem asked the FBI for harmless dummy explosives which he would use to assemble the bomb and then pass on to the group. At this point the FBI cut Salem out of the loop and provided the group with real explosives, leading to the attack on February 26 that killed six and injured over a thousand people. The FBI's failure to prevent the bombing was reported on by the New York Times in October 1993.
The attack, coupled with the Oklahoma City bombing less than two years later, enabled Bill Clinton to whip up support for the passage of a plethora of unconstitutional legislation, including the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, the Brady Bill, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, and a $100 million dollar grant to Israel for "counter-terrorism" purposes.
By the time Clinton left office, the Patriot movement - which before the OKC bombing had grown in leaps and bounds, spurred on by the atrocities committed by the federal government at Waco - was effectively dead.
Few need reminding of George W. Bush's agenda before he took office. The ideological framework that would shape his presidency - encapsulated by the goals of the Neo-Con Project For a New American Century - required a "new Pearl Harbor" to get things started, which is exactly what they received on September 11, 2001.
Furthermore, the attacks enabled Bush to pursue an invasion of Iraq that he had dreamed of achieving as early as 1999, according to the ghostwriter of Bush's autobiography Mickey Herskowitz.
"One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade---if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency," Bush told Herskowitz.
That "chance to invade" arrived on the morning of 9/11, within hours of which Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, "Was telling his aides to come up with plans for striking Iraq — even though there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the attacks."
A Congressional Research Service report last month stated, "Whether an incident of national security significance occurs just before or soon after the presidential transition, the actions or inactions of the outgoing administration may have a long-lasting effect on the new president's ability to effectively safeguard U.S. interests and may affect the legacy of the outgoing president."
The government seems pretty certain that McCain or Obama will be presented with a terror attack early on in their presidency and is giving them ample time to prepare the best method of exploiting it, but only to "safeguard U.S. interests," naturally.
The pattern is clear - each time a new President takes office they have a mandate to act as a torch bearer for the same agenda - domestic repression and foreign invasion. A terror attack provides the perfect pretext to realize those goals.
Whether it be Barack Obama or John McCain, we can expect a new crisis to conveniently arrive shortly after they take office, enabling them to pursue the same tyrannical blueprint followed by their predecessors."
You HAVE BEEN WARNED, AmeriKa!!!
I, for one, won't be falling for the BULLSHIT FOOLEY this time!!!
