12th mailing 06-06-05
al-Zarqawi, Al Qaeda the Media and the U.S.

As usual no replies received, none sent besides this mailing number 12.  If you’ve received anything else, it wasn’t from me.

Before I sat down to watch one of my favorite movies the other day, I saw two of our local “news” i.e. “fanciful infotainment” stations spewing the same identical doggerel about al-Zarqawi and Al Queda and literally gushing on and on about how the US was “saving” the poor Iraqi people from this evil monster.

If you’re seeing the same garbage on your TV just keep in mind the articles listed below and Mr. Reficul’s quote included in mailing number 10 from my first conversation with him, “our true friends the Saudis will continue to supply funds and resources to my agent provocateurs be they Al Queda or some new incarnation. They'll provoke more incidents to keep the pot bubbling [in Iraq].  Iran will be next, maybe the states in the Caspian basin, maybe Nigeria, perhaps Venezuela.  I'll have to come up with new groups for those countries.”

Articles #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5 detail how the Bush administration didn’t go after al-Zarqawi when it had SEVERAL chances to do so, this was done under direct orders from Bush himself. Please note that this failure was remarkably under reported by our news media.  Gee…… I wonder why?

Article #6 outlines how convenient this all was for the Bush administration’s policies. Note it also mentions how Rumsfeld backed off saying al-Zarqawi and al Qaeda were connected to each other after George Tennent head of the CIA issued a report saying there wasn’t any connection.  Didn’t Mr. Tennent also issue several other critical reports such as “a lack of WMD” a “pessimistic outlook on the war in Iraq”, etc., was later fired, the CIA purged, and he and his agency become the fall guy for the U.S.’s  “intelligence failures”? I wonder why? Hmmm.. it must be one of those “fortuitous circumstances” right?

Articles #7 and #8 both point out how al-Zarqawi and his band of merry men, the “Tawhid” were; and basically still are, a group completely separate and apart from Al Qaeda. The articles cover how al-Zarqawi was in Afghanistan where he presumably received some CIA support. How he hates the Shias and believes they are apostates. How he would serve as a perfectly good U.S. foil to “divide”, a unified Iraqi resistance by his continuous attacks against the Shias and thereby enable the U.S. to “conquer” all three ethnic groups in Iraq.  This is just another “fortuitous circumstance” of course, along with how our press keeps saying Al Qaeda when they really mean to say the Tawhid, Gee…… I can’t figure that one out.  Must be some sort of TV dubbing or voice over effect………… you think?

Article #9 even suggests that U.S. forces had captured al-Zarqawi AND THAN LET HIM GO.

What can I tell you; another terrorist with admittedly tenuous connections to the CIA (this time) one of whom we take every opportunity not to attack, one of whom we may even have actually captured and than let go. A person who the press has enlarged into this “BIG BAD MONSTER OUT TO GET US” a person who probably obtains his support from the Saudis (unconfirmed as of yet, I’m still researching) but is definitely a Sunni who believes that the Shias are apostates. A person who is incorrectly described as an “Al Qaeda terrorist” which the press, shuddering with fear, eyes bulging in terror states “may attack us at any time”.
           
Gee he sounds exactly like that “other” guy …. What was his name … Osama something, right?

Everyone should be grateful however that unlike Osama, the bin Ladens and the Saudis, al-Zarqawi doesn’t have a twenty to thirty year history of embarrassing connections between himself and the Texas Cabal and Bush family.

Wow I just realized what a.. dare I say it again; I just can’t help myself.. what a “fortuitous circumstance” that is.

Think about it. The U.S. government has already made preparations for a draft. This administration has cleared the decks by purging the C.I.A, the one organization that issued reports critical of their plans and the only one capable of standing in their way.  Rhumsfeld has now taken the reigns of power at the Pentagon. The economy may go into the tank under the increasing load of debt caused by this administration’s policies.

If there were another attack on U.S. soil, our current government would be able to pass an enabling decree much harsher then the Patriot Act, invoke the draft, blame any economic difficulties caused by their policies and mismanagement on the attack, and invade more countries,.. like Iran for instance.

Such an attack and subsequent invasion of Iran would strengthen the Saudis position and power in the Gulf, Bush’s position and power in the U.S. and of course would put the last remaining gulf state not under Bush’s control firmly in his hands.

Wow, now wouldn’t that be fortuitous?

As I’ve said in prior personal letters I’ve written more then two years ago, ”isn’t it interesting to see two such families who derive their wealth from the oil industry arrive at such a sympathetic understanding?”

By the way there are many, many, many other articles detailing this administration’s mendacity on these issues.
