Shooting War Getting A Grip Wolves In Sheep's Clothing

Summary:

The authenticity of the video is dubious, the timing of its release following the Kunming bombings barely two weeks prior to the Olympics is suspicious. The mystery video was made available to the Western and Chinese media by IntelCenter, a private Washington based Intel company on contract to US intelligence and the Pentagon. How, from whom and when it was obtained has not been revealed. The video contains a carefully crafted narrative. It sends a clear-cut message with evocative images. Keep away from the Olympic games. It starts with the Beijing’s Olympic logo going up in flames as a rocket hits an Olympic venue.

In the weeks leading up to the Beijing Olympics, an atmosphere of fear and insecurity is unfolding.

China has not only been targeted for its human rights violations, a China based Islamic terrorist organization has announced that it is planning to “create havoc” at the outset of the Olympics.

According to media reports, the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) has claimed responsibility for several pre-Olympic terror attacks including the July 21 bombing of three buses in Kunming, capital of Yunnan , which killed two and left 13 injured, as well as a similar Shanghai bus bombing in May. The TIP also claimed responsibility for an attack in Wenzhou on July 17 using an explosives-laden tractor and the bombing of a Guangzhou plastics factory on July 17 (_Sydney Morning Herald,_ 27 July 2008).

The leader of the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) Commander Seyfullah in a mysterious video broadcast warned both athletes and spectators that it is planning to carry out simultaneous attacks in several highly populated urban areas, with a view to ultimately sabotaging the Olympic games:

“Through this blessed jihad in Yunnan this time, the Turkestan Islamic Party warns China one more time. Our aim is to target the most critical points related to the Olympics. We will try to attack Chinese central cities severely…

a lot of dot connecting without any actual reporting, imho
but interesting, obviously
Michel’s problem is every time the ISI is mentioned he claims it must be controlled by the CIA – it’s sort of paternalistic to assume that everything the ISI does is controlled by some white guys

I’d have to agree, Anthony. It makes a LOT more sense to attribute it to corruption and greed. A club with lots of white guys in it, but by no means just white guys. But I think the War on Terror gig IS coming out of Washington — even if world’s total population of Predatory Capitalists are testing the bandwagon.

Here’s an interesting piece in terms of analyzing the dialectic (which I’m not sure Washington is up to — or Europe, for that matter).

Food crisis sows seed for change

For some strange reason, Washington continues to operate under the assumption that everyone thinks there really is a food crisis — and it’s not just because prices are getting driven up by speculators migrating from the mortgage meltdown into more staple commodities. The fact that Monsanto raised the price of their corn seed a hundred bucks a bag can’t possibly be a well known little factoid because why? CNN didn’t give it air time.

But Washington doesn’t think it’s making the people it’s dicking suspicious. But anyone outside of Corporate Mass Media’s Hegemony ain’t having any kind of hard time seeing it.

On top of that, there’s no way China didn’t figure out where the Free Tibet momentum came from — and continues to come from. And if everyone — or almost everyone — at the G knows that the Save Darfur guff is a scam, China surely knows it too.

The fact that China and Russia both suggested that Zimbabwe could be left to pull up its own bootstraps suggests that the Indigenous Europeans and their Diaspora of Predatory Capitalists should really take a break and think a little more clearly about what’s REALLY going on.

And they’re pissing off Russia too. You think Russia doesn’t know who’s behind the “unrest” in Georgia? Even if they’re maybe giving too much credit to the stooge in the alleged driver’s seat. You think they don’t know enough about how and why Yugoslavia got dismantled? You think they’re not worried about Camp Bondsteel?

It’s all adding up but Washington isn’t counting.

It’s time for that New Chapter. I don’t know if everyone automatically assumes Washington is behind all of the planet’s little “terrorist” blips, especially when they conveniently inconvenience someone who’s clearly inconveniencing Washington. But enough people who matter clearly do.

And the feedback won’t be tit for tat. There are other ways to pull the plug and Gs should be watching for ‘em.

Oops, maybe you didn’t read about it, and I wouldn’t want you to take my word for ANYTHING. Really.

During a world food crisis, Monsanto just raised the price of its corn seed $100 a bag.

microdot @ 08/07/08 17:29:05

Shift, did that Turkmen Tewwowist have a really weird breathing issue, or what that a very short clip recycling over and over and over again?

microdot @ 08/07/08 17:53:25

Cheesy graphics, bad cuts… hell, we can’t see his mouth, so why don’t they just dub it in the first place? Film makers they are not.

aganunitsi @ 08/07/08 20:40:43

Anthony, you are either ignorant or deceiving… the ISI is jointly controlled by the CIA and MI5 from its inception… though the Brits have their predominance in the Pak army, and the US in the ISI... it has never been otherwise for fifty seven years…

anyway, I hope all people in the stadium incl. stupid whorled leaders are all immolated by Allah or napalm… inshallah

johnnycivil @ 08/07/08 23:38:17

did you catch the joke that guy made about commies and bombies and mommies?

johnnycivil @ 08/07/08 23:41:00

Anthony, you are either ignorant or deceiving…

actually, he could be both ignorant and deceiving.

The 2 are not mutually exclusive

HughJarse @ 08/08/08 16:49:45

Man, if the Beijing Olympics were sabotaged, I don’t know what I’d do.
