Egypt has reopened its Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip, allowing people to cross freely for the first time in four years - a sharp departure from the policies of former president Hosni Mubarak.
The opening on Saturday morning provided long-awaited relief for Palestinians - a move ushered in by Egypt's new government in a bid to ease the suffering of Gaza residents.
Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston, reporting from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, said there will still be restrictions in place, preventing men younger than 40 from leaving the coastal territory.
"It will allow basically all women to leave Gaza, also children under the age of 18 years will be allowed to leave, as well as men over the age of 40 years. However, those between the ages of 18 and 40 years will require an Egyptian visa," she said.
"Visas would have to come from Ramallah. Sources in Hamas say they have been told by the Egyptian authorities over the last few weeks that they [Egyptians] do intend to open some sort of representative office inside Gaza, so that people can get the visa from there."
Among the first to cross the reopened border post were two ambulances ferrying patients from the hitherto-blockaded Gaza Strip for treatment in Egypt as well as a minibus carrying a dozen visitors. About 400 Gazans were reported to be waiting at the crossing.
Israeli siege
The crossing is seen as the main gateway for the 1.5 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. Among the other border posts, it is the only crossing not controlled by Israel.
Rafah has been mostly closed since 2007 when Israel imposed a siege on Gaza after Hamas took over the Strip.
Our correspondent said that Hamas used to have a list of people who needed to go through the border crossing, and that list currently has 12,000 names on it.
"That list used to be sent through to the Egyptians who then vetted it and allowed around 300 people a day through it - but it was very limited and now it will be free and open for most people," she said.
The crossing is to open to people for eight hours a day from 9:00am, apart from holidays and Fridays, giving Gazans a gateway to the world as Rafah is the only crossing that does not pass through Israel.
Commercial traffic will continue to have to pass through border points with Israel to enter the impoverished Palestinian enclave.
"In the future, Hamas says that it would like this to become a terminal for goods," our correspondent said.
"But a lot of people in Gaza say that if the Rafah border crossing becomes a commercial goods terminal, then Israel could place all responsibility for Gaza on the Egyptians, which people do not want because Gaza is still occupied by Israel."
The United Nations has called the Gaza blockade illegal and repeatedly demanded it be lifted.

Anna Hazare And Medha Patkar: What Is The Difference?
By Dr. Shah Alam Khan
28 May, 2011
Countercurrents.org
In April this year the media went into a loud and vulgar rapture as Anna Hazare continued his four-day fast against corruption at Jantar Mantar in the capital. Hyperventilating newscasters repeatedly declared that the issue of corruption has “touched a cord” with the middle class. The circus at Jantar Mantar ended on a happy note with an amazing display of rhapsody for millions of urban, educated, elite Indians as they saw the government kneel to the demands of Anna in re-formulating the Lok Pal bill. But this was more than a month back. In Indian politics, one month is a long period. With a short public memory and an equally uncaring public attitude, it is easy to comprehend why another fast in another corner of the country has evoked minimal response. Social activist and Gandhian, Medha Patkar has been on an indefinite fast since last seven days at Mumbai in protest against the land grab at the Golibar slum, next to the Mumbai airport.
The contrast is striking. No high profile players, no well known public figures, no lavish tents, no Bharatmata cut outs, no mineral water bottles for the attendees and of course minimal media glare. All the goodies of Anna Hazare’s protest are missing from Medha Patkar’s remonstration. What is most conspicuous is the “wretched” clientele for whom Medha is fasting. Medha’s indefinite fast is for the basic rights of 26,000 families, which dwell the Golibar slum. Slum dwellers! People who are a road block in the conversion of Mumbai to Shanghai.
Medha is protesting the blatant callousness of the Maharashtra government and its nefarious Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA). SRA is the by-product of the political-land mafia nexus aimed at usurping those living in the slums of Mumbai. This futuristic Shanghai has more than 60 percent of its population living in slums with Golibar being the second largest slum of the city. The SRA aims to authorize private builders to redevelop slum land. The result can be anyone’s guess. Private builders take up the slum land by force, forgery or on cheap rates. The resale value of these prime locations brings phenomenal wealth in the general property market. Even more despicable is the Clause 3K of the SRA, which gives a single builder right to redevelop a slum without inviting any tenders.
What is most deafening in this protest is the silence of the media (electronic, paper and alternative) which stood with Anna Hazare in his high profile fight against corruption. No facebook pages, no twitter messages, no hourly news updates. Surely something is amiss “now” as compared to “then”. Was it the personal charisma of Anna Hazare, who was largely unknown to elite Indians till April this year, which drew the masses and the media? Or was it a will of the media to suddenly awaken to the reality of corruption in this country? It baffles me.
Surely, Anna Hazare’s well-orchestrated (and hence well funded) fight against corruption was more appealing to the urban middle class Indian then a fight for the slum dwellers of a small locality of Mumbai. Although to evaluate the efficacy of a protest on the basis of number of people benefited by it is not only dangerous but purely foolhardiness par excellence! Protests represent the core values for which a society stands, not the number of people affected by its success. May be it is for this very reason that our very conscientious media fails to represent decisively the issues raised by Irom Sharmila, who has been on fast for the last ten years against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. Having said this, it may be noted that media has played a significant role in “individualistic protests” like those demanding justice for Jessica Lall or Priyadarshani Mattoo. Although it is easy to find instances of media manufactured struggles in India if the victims are elite, educated or middle class but to say the same for this very media taking up the causes of the underprivileged, oppressed or rural masses is difficult. No wonder there is hardly any coverage of Vidharba farmer suicides or of atrocities on dalits across the length and breadth of the country.
In India the amalgam of forces that drive a protest are also an important determinant for its adoption by the media. In Anna’s case high caste, elitist composition with a cosmetic supplementation by commoner Indians and fuelled by well-funded corporate driven NGOs, formed an ideal diet for high TRPs. A ready meal for media digestion! Unfortunately these ingredients of manufactured protest are lacking when it comes to core issues of human survival as in Medha Patkar’s ongoing demonstration in Mumbai.
The role of media in a democratic set-up cannot be over emphasized. But with more corporate control it is not difficult to discern what this integral pillar of democracy will support or rather avoid to support. With economic liberalization the media has become an important tool to formulate, channelize and direct popular protest; and there lies the danger for an unequal and unjust society like ours. Highlighting the correct story is a morally responsible task that has to be done without fear or favor. Medha Patkar and Irom Sharmila need an equal share of bytes & columns as Anna Hazare or Jessica Lall’s sister. Injustices cannot be compared, weighed and then sold to the general public wrapped in a piquant newspaper or an exciting television show. Discriminations cannot have different colors. Biases cannot be silent or loud. Inequality can never be less or more.

PUBLIC MEETING

that supposedly killed Bin Laden"
Speakers: Feroze Mithiborwala, Kishore Jagtap, Aslam Ghazi, Mulniwasi Mala, Jagdish Nagarkar, Jyoti Badekar & Farid Khan
...
Organizers: Sayeed Khan, Varsha V V, Arif Kapadia, Amol Madame, Pooja Badejkar, Asif Khan, Rahul Gharat, Ajay Soni, Syed Iftikhar Ahmad, Winnie Thomas, Yawar Ali Qazi, Munawar Azad, Ghazala Azad, Shadab Sheikh, Shraddha Gharat & Tito Eapen, Harshawardhan Vartak & Lilesh Lokre.
We will also be airing certain video clippings of voices from across the world that have challenged Obama's deceit.
For over a decade, the entire core of the myth of the Global War on Terror has been built up on the propoganda of the false flag 9/11 terror attack & a relentless campaign of fear & hate built around Osama Bin Laden & Al Qaeda.
As per our analysis, Bin laden has been dead since Decemeber 2001 & there is no trace of him since then & we have been repeatedly stating this fact since the last 5 years at the least, through various programmes & fora. All the OBL audio & video tapes since that period have been proved to be fakes & none can discount this glaring fact.
Obama & his cohorts, cannot prove that he killed Bin laden in any court of law. there is "no physical evidence" & "no body" that can be produced, as they decided to bury him in the sea & we have no photographs either. all very strange & rather telling. We all vividly recall the fact that we were all enlightened on Saddam's dentistry the last time round. Basically, Obama has proved to be as much a liar, a deciever & a warmonger as the Bush junta, in fact far far more dangerous than his pea-brained predecessor.
The Bin laden deception is the first major throw of the dice aimed at undermining & countering the Arab Spring & the Palestinian Intifada, that has now erupted, with Millions of Refugees all set to challenge the might of the Israeli army & return to their homes & heraths from which they had been ethnically cleansed in 1948. The Fatah-Hamas rapproachment, the March of the Refugees, the Freedom Flotilla that is all set to leave for Gaza in June, as well as the fact that the overwhelming nations at the UN will be recognising Palestine as an independent state at the UN has rattled & upset all of Israeli calculations. The entire dictatorial structure that they had constructed across the Arab & Muslim nations is falling apart & with it, the Islamophobic narrative as well.
So we can expect the worst & soon.
And yes, much worse is to follow, with a series of false flag terror attacks undertaken by the CIA-Mossad, so that the issue of terror & security are back at the centre of the political debate.
With the West watching the Arab youth at the Tahrir Square, Israel surely lost its terror card & the entire Islamophobic campaign fell apart during the Arab revolution as it continues to sweep across the region leaving no US backed dictator or monarch untouched or safe.
We are all aware that the Empire, both under Bush & Obama has been involved in a series of lies & deception, that will take volumes to compile. At the core lies the expansionist agenda of the Imeprial-Zionist agenda for Global hegemony.
The wars that are raging in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia & Libya have now spread to Pakistan, right on the borders of India, with grave consequences for all of South Asia & the Asian continent, rather for much of the world.
The simple point is that, that those of us who are committed to peace between India & Pakistain, cannot achieve the goal without engaing in a larger united anti-imperialist struggle across South Asia in alliance & coordination with the resistance in West Asia.
If we could only learn from the rich historical traditions & leaders of our very own Independence struggle, we will have arrived at the right answers.

'Bin Laden dead long before US raid'
Sun May 8, 2011 4:33PM
Iran's Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi
Iran's intelligence minister says the country has reliable information that former head of the al-Qaeda terrorist group Osama bin Laden died of disease some time ago.
“We have accurate information that bin Laden died of illness some time ago,” Heidar Moslehi told reporters on the sidelines of a Cabinet meeting on Sunday.
He questioned Washington's claim that bin Laden was killed by American troops in a hiding compound in Pakistan on May 1.
“If the US military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed bin Laden, why don't they show him (his dead body) why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?” Moslehi asked.
“When we apprehended [former Jundallah ringleader Abdul Malik] Rigi, we showed him and also aired his interview,” ISNA quoted the intelligence chief as saying.
By releasing such false news, he said, the White House seeks to overshadow regional awakening.
Moslehi said US officials resort to such PR campaigns to divert attention from their domestic problems as well as their “fragile” economic situation.
US President Barack Obama claimed that Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces on May 1 in a hiding compound in Pakistan.
A US official later announced that bin Laden's body was abruptly buried at sea, falsely boasting that his hasty burial was in accordance with the Islamic law, requiring burial within 24 hours of death.
However, burial at sea is not an Islamic practice and Islam does not have a timeframe for burial.
US officials also claimed their decision for a sea burial was made because no http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifcountry would accept bin Laden's remains, without elaborating on which countries were actually contacted on the matter.
Analysts, however, have raised serious questions as to why US officials did not allow for the application of a DNA test to officially confirm the identity of the corpse before its hasty burial.

Obama orders Osama burial at sea to hide the ..........
Obama orders Osama burial at sea to hide the fact that Osama Bin Laden actually died in late 2001 and they were keeping his legend alive for propaganda purposes.
BY : Alex James
Picture of Osama dead shown today is the picture shown of Osama dead on Dec 13,2001.
The reason for the burial at sea is to hide the fact that Osama Bin Laden actually died in late 2001 and they were keeping his legend alive for propaganda purposes.
The only people who love OBL are the Zionists because he was their agent, especially, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Polish Zionist.
~~ Which Bin Laden Did They Kill? ~~
Was it the tall bin Laden with the long hook nose?
Was it the short pudgy Bin Laden with the pug nose?
Was it the stocky linebacker Bin Laden with the mole on his nose?
Was it the Bin Laden who was flown out of the U.S. on 9/12 by Bush?
Was it the Bin Laden who is a partner with Pres. G.H.W. Bush in the Carlisle Group?
Or was it the Bin Laden whom Pres. Benazir Bhutto announced was dead 7 years ago?
Bin Laden died in Dec 2001 as announced by Fox, MSNBC, etc. This fake killing of Bin Laden is just a propaganda stunt.

PRESIDENT OBAMA ANNOUNCES: BIN LADEN STILL DEAD AGAIN http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/05/01/president-obama-announces-bin-laden-still-dead/
‘Bin Laden Dead’ Hoax Exposed http://www.prisonplanet.com/exclusive-%e2%80%98bin-laden-dead%e2%80%99-hoax-exposed.html
“Alex Jones exposes the contrived “victory” in the War on Terror surrounding a man who many experts have said was already dead for years. After nearly a decade of “hunting” for Bin Laden, he is summarily shot in the head and allegedly dumped into the ocean (conveniently making the body unavailable). So goes the official life of Osama bin Laden (aka Tim Osman), one of the CIA’s most useful patsies and assets...”The New World Order does all their lovely ceremonies and inceptions of new terror campaigns on MAY 1st. Illuminati founded on: MAY 1, 1776. Last night was their "Eve" of the announcement/celebration that Osama was "dead." Today we rejoice. HE IS DEAD! Message to the Illuminati of today in the form of a question: Can you make it any more obvious?

PRESIDENT OBAMA ANNOUNCES: BIN LADEN STILL DEAD AGAIN (updated videos-photos)
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/05/01/president-obama-announces-bin-laden-still-dead/
My Letterman imitation of the top 10 reasons for Bin Laden’s death announcement:
10. They ran out of Bin Laden look-alikes to use in fake videos
9. People stopped believing that a cave-dweller on a dialysis machine was still alive after 10 years
8. People discovered the Frost/Bhutto interview on YouTube where she confirmed that Bin Laden was dead already, back in 2004 – probably died in December 2001
7. They want to be able to say something was achieved for the TRILLIONS spent on wars over the last 10 years and the thousands of innocent civilian lives
6. They need a distraction from the upcoming Gaza Flotilla and from the upcoming vote in the UN on Palestinian sovereignity, and the Move-Over-AIPAC conference this month
5. They need us to remain terrified of the upcoming retaliation for Bin Laden’s death to justify the continuance of the TSA’s “Grope or Fry” policy
4. They need a distraction from the birth certificate controversy
3. They need a distraction from the murders of Ghadafi’s son and grandchildren
2. They need a ploy to remake Obama as a hero to the “USA! USA!” crowd and get him re-elected
1. They need an excuse to pull troops out of Afghanistan to deploy elsewhere and take us into war once more – probably Syria/Iran

“In April 2002, over nine years ago, Council on Foreign Relations member Steve R. Pieczenik, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, and James Baker, told the Alex Jones Show that Bin Laden had already been “dead for months”.
Pieczenik would be in a position to know such information, having worked directly with Bin Laden when the US was funding and arming the terror leader in an attempt to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan in the late 70′s and early 80′s (a documented historical fact that talking heads in the corporate media are actually denying today in light of developments).
“I worked with Osama bin Laden in ’78, ’81,” Pieczenik told Jones, adding that he later turned terrorist hunter during subsequent administrations.

NATIONAL VICTORY OR CHILDISH SNAKE OIL TO AID THE 9/11 COVERUP AND BOOST OBAMA POLLS?
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
Latest: Operational order: “Bin laden” to be killed – not captured under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, “not in recent contact with Al Qaeda”…US helicopter crashes due to mechanical failure during operation….Pakistan military silent (we phoned)…..skepticism in some regions soaring…..(“He must have been in US custody all along”….”Did they kill one of the phony ‘bin Ladens?’”)
We got our first reports of bin Laden’s death “yesterday” about a week ago. Reports outlining his trek to Pakistan began dotting the internet and news services. We began to “smell” something “cooking.”
As to reports made today and the President’s speech, we are highly skeptical. Issues of “timing,” citing the release of Obama’s birth certificate and the crushing of top contender Donald Trump could be seen as sources for doubt but coincidence and circumstance can go either way, any way or no way at all.

Were bin Laden to have successfully faked his own death (as most “in the know” have long believed bin Laden dead) his actual death, if this is the case, is not the death of a terrorist leader at all.

In fact, bin Laden is as much a “patsy” as Sirhan Sirhan, James Ray or Lee Oswald. There is reliable proof about bin Laden. It says he was always CIA.

Yes, I am an idiot.
The response I got was that bin Laden had died years ago. This fact, now, if I am to believe what I am told, is not a fact at all. However, this fact led me on a journey to review the 9/11 attacks. That journey led me to Building 7 and the Pentagon. It also led me to others, some wildly inept and unreliable and others, discerning and capable.
TONITE
Tonite I saw those I find less than credible using wild and speculative words as fact, tying bin Laden to 9/11, something no court, no intelligence agency, no law enforcement group ever did.
Tonite I heard many things I knew were untrue to help sell the import of bin Laden’s death, a death reported long ago by Benazir Bhutto.

While accusations about bin Laden are bandied about, this surviving CIA transcript, the last verified words from a decade ago, tell another story:

Website of Doha Al-Jazirah Satellite Channel Television in Arabic [FBIS Report] Website of Doha Al-Jazirah Satellite Channel Television in Arabic,independent television station financed by the Qatari Government, which can be accessedat URL: http://www.aljazeera.net, carries at 2011 GMT on 24 September the text of the following letter by Usama Bin Ladin “to the Pakistani people.”
“We hope that these brothers would be the first martyrs in Islam’s battle in this age against the new Jewish crusade that is being led by the biggest crusader, Bush, under the banner of the cross. This battle is one of Islam’s immortal battles.”
“We beseech God to grant him victory against the forces of infidelity and arrogance, and to crush the new crusader-Jewish campaign on the land of Pakistan and Afghanistan.”
“I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States.”
“Neither I had any knowledge of these attacks nor I consider the killing of innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. . Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people. Such a practice is forbidden ever in the course of a battle.”
“All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel.”
“Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American people have been killed. According to my information, the death toll is much higher than what the US Government has stated.
“The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the US system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive.”
“They can be any one, from Russia to Israel and from India to Serbia.”
“Then you cannot forget the American Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and want to avenge him.”
“Then there are intelligence agencies in the US, which require billions of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every year. This [funding issue] was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet Union but after that the budget of these (FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 180)
agencies has been in danger. They needed an enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Usama and Taliban and then this incident happened.”
“Drug smugglers from all over the world are in contact with the US secret agencies. These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics cultivation and trafficking because their importance will be diminished. The people in the US Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade so that they could show performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General Noriega was made a drug baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a scapegoat.”
“President Bush or any other US President, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United Sates? That secret government must be asked as to who made the attacks.”
“Supporting the US act is the need of some Muslim countries and the compulsion of others. However, they should think as to what will remain of their religious and moral position if they support the attack of the Christians and the Jews on a Muslim country like Afghanistan.”
“I have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We are against the system, which makes other nations slaves of the United States, or forces them to mortgage their political and economic freedom.”
“This system is totally in control of the American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is simply that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel.”
”The Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which make us surprise but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda. They become afraid of it and begin to cause harm to themselves.”
“Terror is the most dreaded weapon in modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people. It can add fear and helplessness in the psyche of the people of Europe and the United States. It means that what the enemies of the United States cannot do, its media is doing that. You can understand as to what will be the performance of the nation in a war, which suffers from fear and helplessness.”

Bin Laden & CIA ~ Allegations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA-Osama_bin_Laden_controversy
The BBC, in an article published shortly after the 9/11 attacks, stated that bin Laden “received security training from the CIA itself, according to Middle Eastern analyst Hazhir Teimourian.”[1]
In a 2003 article, Michael Powelson of the Russian journal Demokratizatsiya wrote:
It is difficult to believe that the United States played no role in the operations of the son of one of the wealthiest men in Saudi Arabia. Indeed, it is much more likely that the United States knew full-well of bin Laden’s operation and gave it all the support they could.[2]
A 2004 BBC article entitled “Al-Qaeda’s origins and links”, the BBC wrote:
During the anti-Soviet jihad Bin Laden and his fighters received American and Saudi funding. Some analysts believe Bin Laden himself had security training from the CIA.[3]
In a 2006 In-Depth piece on Osama Bin Laden, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published that,[4]
Bin Laden apparently received training from the CIA, which was backing the Afghan holy warriors – the mujahedeen – who were tying down Soviet forces in Afghanistan.
An article in Der Spiegel, in 2007, entitled “Arming the Middle East”, Siegesmund von Ilsemann called Bin Laden “one of the CIA’s best weapons customers.” [5]
According to author Steve Coll,
Overall, the U.S. government looked favorably on the Arab recruitment drives. … Some of the most ardent cold warriors at [CIA headquarters at] Langley thought this program should be formally endorsed and extended. … [T]he CIA “examined ways to increase their participation, perhaps in the form of some sort of international brigade” … Robert Gates [then-head of the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence] recalled. … At the [CIA's] Islamabad station [station chief] Milt Bearden felt that bin Laden himself “actually did some very good things” by putting money into Afghanistan.[6]
Robin Cook, Foreign Secretary in the UK from 1997–2001, and Leader of the House of Commons and Lord President of the Council from 2001-2003, believed the CIA had provided arms to the Arab Mujahideen, including Osama bin Laden, writing, “Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.”[7]
In conversation with former British Defence Secretary Michael Portillo, two-time Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto said Osama bin Laden was initially pro-American.[8] Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, has also stated that bin Laden appreciated the United States help in Afghanistan. On CNN’s Larry King program he said:[9]
Bandar bin Sultan: This is ironic. In the mid-’80s, if you remember, we and the United – Saudi Arabia and the United States were supporting the Mujahideen to liberate Afghanistan from the Soviets. He [Osama bin Laden] came to thank me for my efforts to bring the Americans, our friends, to help us against the atheists, he said the communists. Isn’t it ironic?

Picture of Osama dead shown today is the picture shown of Osama dead on Dec 13,2001.
The reason for the burial at sea is to hide the fact that Osama Bin Laden actually died in late 2001 and they were keeping his legend alive for propaganda purposes.
The only people who love OBL are the Zionists because he was their agent, especially, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Polish Zionist.
~~ Which Bin Laden Did They Kill? ~~
Was it the tall bin Laden with the long hook nose?
Was it the short pudgy Bin Laden with the pug nose?
Was it the stocky linebacker Bin Laden with the mole on his nose?
Was it the Bin Laden who was flown out of the U.S. on 9/12 by Bush?
Was it the Bin Laden who is a partner with Pres. G.H.W. Bush in the Carlisle Group?
Or was it the Bin Laden whom Pres. Benazir Bhutto announced was dead 7 years ago?
Bin Laden died in Dec 2001 as announced by Fox, MSNBC, etc. This fake killing of Bin Laden is just a propaganda stunt.

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/05/01/president-obama-announces-bin-laden-still-dead/
My Letterman imitation of the top 10 reasons for Bin Laden’s death announcement:
10. They ran out of Bin Laden look-alikes to use in fake videos
9. People stopped believing that a cave-dweller on a dialysis machine was still alive after 10 years
8. People discovered the Frost/Bhutto interview on YouTube where she confirmed that Bin Laden was dead already, back in 2004 – probably died in December 2001
7. They want to be able to say something was achieved for the TRILLIONS spent on wars over the last 10 years and the thousands of innocent civilian lives
6. They need a distraction from the upcoming Gaza Flotilla and from the upcoming vote in the UN on Palestinian sovereignity, and the Move-Over-AIPAC conference this month
5. They need us to remain terrified of the upcoming retaliation for Bin Laden’s death to justify the continuance of the TSA’s “Grope or Fry” policy
4. They need a distraction from the birth certificate controversy
3. They need a distraction from the murders of Ghadafi’s son and grandchildren
2. They need a ploy to remake Obama as a hero to the “USA! USA!” crowd and get him re-elected
1. They need an excuse to pull troops out of Afghanistan to deploy elsewhere and take us into war once more – probably Syria/Iran

The BBC, in an article published shortly after the 9/11 attacks, stated that bin Laden “received security training from the CIA itself, according to Middle Eastern analyst Hazhir Teimourian.”[1]
In a 2003 article, Michael Powelson of the Russian journal Demokratizatsiya wrote:
It is difficult to believe that the United States played no role in the operations of the son of one of the wealthiest men in Saudi Arabia. Indeed, it is much more likely that the United States knew full-well of bin Laden’s operation and gave it all the support they could.[2]
A 2004 BBC article entitled “Al-Qaeda’s origins and links”, the BBC wrote:
During the anti-Soviet jihad Bin Laden and his fighters received American and Saudi funding. Some analysts believe Bin Laden himself had security training from the CIA.[3]
In a 2006 In-Depth piece on Osama Bin Laden, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published that,[4]
Bin Laden apparently received training from the CIA, which was backing the Afghan holy warriors – the mujahedeen – who were tying down Soviet forces in Afghanistan.
An article in Der Spiegel, in 2007, entitled “Arming the Middle East”, Siegesmund von Ilsemann called Bin Laden “one of the CIA’s best weapons customers.” [5]
According to author Steve Coll,
Overall, the U.S. government looked favorably on the Arab recruitment drives. … Some of the most ardent cold warriors at [CIA headquarters at] Langley thought this program should be formally endorsed and extended. … [T]he CIA “examined ways to increase their participation, perhaps in the form of some sort of international brigade” … Robert Gates [then-head of the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence] recalled. … At the [CIA's] Islamabad station [station chief] Milt Bearden felt that bin Laden himself “actually did some very good things” by putting money into Afghanistan.[6]
Robin Cook, Foreign Secretary in the UK from 1997–2001, and Leader of the House of Commons and Lord President of the Council from 2001-2003, believed the CIA had provided arms to the Arab Mujahideen, including Osama bin Laden, writing, “Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.”[7]
In conversation with former British Defence Secretary Michael Portillo, two-time Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto said Osama bin Laden was initially pro-American.[8] Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, has also stated that bin Laden appreciated the United States help in Afghanistan. On CNN’s Larry King program he said:[9]
Bandar bin Sultan: This is ironic. In the mid-’80s, if you remember, we and the United – Saudi Arabia and the United States were supporting the Mujahideen to liberate Afghanistan from the Soviets. He [Osama bin Laden] came to thank me for my efforts to bring the Americans, our friends, to help us against the atheists, he said the communists. Isn’t it ironic?

Obama Says Laden Is Killed: Can We Believe Him?
By Countercurrents.org
02 May, 2011
Countercurrents.org
US president Barack Obama announced last night that Osama Bin Laden had been killed on Sunday in a US operation in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, about 61km north of Islamabad.
"Tonight, I can report to the people of the United States and the world, the United States had carried an operation that has killed Osama bin Laden, a terrorist responsible for killing thousands of innocent people. Today, at my direction, the United States carried out that operation... they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date against al-Qaeda."
Later, it was reported that Bin Laden's body was buried in the sea.
The timing of the announcement of Bin Laden's killing and the quick disposal of his body raises several questions.
There were reports that Osama Bin Laden had died in December, 2001. If those reports were true how he is killed once again in Abbottabad?
If the person killed in Abbottabad is indeed Bin Laden, that story should have been verified by an independent DNA test. Why did the US authorities quickly disposed of the body, that too in the sea, at an undisclosed location, without waiting for an independent DNA verification? Is there an effort to destroy evidence?
We need an answer,
because for the blood of this man, more than a million men, women and children were killed in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. Several million people were made refugees. Thousands of families were destroyed. Thousands of people were tortured and disappeared. Thousands of US servicemen got killed in those countries.
Or
Is Obama launching his re-election campaign?
We need an answer.

Osama Bin Laden Has Been Dead Since December 2001
By Feroze Mithiborwala
ccun.org, September 14, 2009
"If they didn't have an Osama Bin Laden, they would have invented one."
Milt Bearden - CIA agent, in an interview with anchor Dan Rather of the CBS (September 12, 2001)
"The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11".
(Rex Tomb, spokesman, FBI's Chief of Investigative Publicity)
Now that even Asif Ali Zardari the President of Pakistan & General Musharraf are stating that Bin Laden is dead, it is high time that we in India began to both debate as well as challenge this sheer calumny.
Basically the truth and the fact of the matter is that Bin Laden has been dead since the latter half of December 2001. So then why did Bush-Cheney & now the Obama-Hillary combine, as well as the Neoconservatives & Zionist ideologues, continue to insist & actively propagate the myth of Bin Laden?
First let us address the 'Politics of Fear', that is an integral part of the flawed 'Global War on Terror', which is part of the Neo-Zioncon doctrine of 'Controlled Chaos'. The ghost of Bin Laden serves multiple purposes both at the Global and Indian context. In India, Bin Laden is used to generate fear in the mind of the Hindu community, the epitome of "Islamic terror" and thus distrust & hatred for the Muslim is its natural corollary.
For the Muslims he is meant to be the "false hero" and to wrongly inspire youth to follow the flawed path of extremism and terror.
The other primary strategy in propagating the myth of Bin Laden is so that every political struggle against US-Zionist Imperialism is converted into a struggle for the supposed cause of Islam and Muslims and thus reduce every struggle to a narrow religio-sectarian agenda, to the negation of all political, economic & social factors. Every Bin Laden message appeals to "Muslims to wage a jehad against Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists". The agenda is to communalise, divide, confuse and thus weaken society. The agenda is also to further isolate and marginalise Muslims from the mainstream struggles & spread Islamophobia. For example the Palestinian national freedom struggle against Israeli colonial occupation is reduced to a mere Muslim cause as per Bin Laden's announcements & thus weaken the global Palestinian solidarity movement which is today striving for the total "Boycott of Israel".
Now let us come to a few facts that will help us establish that Bin Laden has been dead since the last eight years and more.
During the period 4-14th of July, 2001 (only two months prior to the 9/11-WTC terror attacks), Bin Laden was in the American Hospital in Dubai. According to the United Press International (Oct 31, 2001), Bin Laden underwent kidney surgery and treatment under Dr. Terry Callaway. According to both the French "Le Figaro" & the "Radio France International", Bin Laden was visited by a top US-CIA agent. This report and the one below are further substantiated by CBS anchor Dan Rather, Peter Bergen, investigative journalist Barry Petersen and Prof. Michel Chussodovsky.
More astonishing is the fact that just a day prior to the September 11 attacks, Bin Laden was undergoing treatment in the Military Hospital in Rawalpindi itself (Le Figaro - Jan 28, 2002). So both the Pakistani Military establishment and the ISI as well as the CIA were more than aware of Bin Laden's whereabouts.
A few days later Dr. Sanjay Gupta (a highly respected Indian-American within the Medical fraternity) gave his assessment that both due to the heavy US bombing of the Taleban areas as well as the fact that kidney dialysis requires a special environment, it is impossible for a patient to survive beyond a week.
According to Pentagon sources, Bin Laden's voice could not be detected beyond December 14, 2001.
Reports of Bin Laden's death have been so widespread that it is a wonder as to how the myth of OBL has been kept alive. Now consider the following reports:
Dale Watson, the FBI chief of counter-terrorism said on BBC that he thought that OBL was dead.
In fact the announcement of OBL's death and the funeral as well, appeared in the Egytian newspaper Al-Wafd on December 26, 2001. Also refer to an article by Robert Burns (26/04/02) on this matter.
Even the Israeli intelligence had announced the death (World Tribune). They also said that the new messages are possibly fabrications.
Reports of his death have appeared in the New York Times (July 11, 2002) as well the Guardian (UK) and the Telegraph (UK).
Both Musharraf and Karzai have been reported saying the same on CNN.
Most recently the most remarkable revelation on this matter was made by none other than the late Benazir Bhutto. In an interview with David Frost on Al-Jazeerah English (November 2, 2007), she made the stunning announcement that Bin Laden was dead and had been murdered by Omar Sheikh. Interestingly Omar Sheikh was an ISI operative and was also responsible for the murder of Daniel Pearl. The most telling part is the deafening silence of the International media.
The BBC did carry this interview but edited this line.
WHY??
If this is not "Breaking News", then what is?
Does not this statement warrant international attention? Would not have this statement guaranteed higher TRP ratings and increased newspaper circulation? But not a word. The complicity of the corporate media is apparent.
But then people ask me and rightly so that, "what about all these Bin Laden-Al Qaeda tapes?, how do you explain that?". So lets deal with that issue as well.
Bin Laden tapes have appeared prior to his death in December 2001, but since then the world has been subjected to a barrage of fake tapes. Prof. Bruce Lawrence of Duke University, is the world's leading expert on these tapes and has studied every tape since then and it is his analysis and that of Diana Lee, Wayne Madsen as well as others that I put before you.
The first fake Bin laden tape was released by the Pentagon on December 13, 2001 and found in a deserted house in Jalalabad. It shows a stout and healthy man posing as Laden and making the claims of the destruction of the WTC. The most glaring error in the video is that the Laden duplicate is signing the confession letter with his right hand. Bin Laden used his left!
Another Laden video appeared just prior to the US presidential election on October 29, 2004, a few days after Bush had lost the first Presidential debate to John Kerry the Democratic nominee. The calls for a jehad against America helped to boost Bush's ratings and was a factor in his ultimate victory.
The Bin laden audio tapes began to arrive in 2002. These tapes were also meant to achieve and create a climate of fear at the global level. However the experts at the IDIAP, the world's premier voice identification institute based in Switzerland, have clearly stated that the voice on the tapes was not that of Bin Laden.
Bin Laden and Al Qaeda tapes have also appeared in India and the political agenda is the same. Last year (June 8, 2007) an Al Qaeda tape surfaced in Kashmir claiming that Al Qaeda had established a base in India. It appeared only a day after an Israeli Military delegation arrived in India to advice the government to combat "Islamic terror in Kashmir". Even certain Indian intelligence and military sources rejected the tape as a fake.
But now the pattern at the global level of releasing the Bin Laden-Al Qaeda tapes has undergone a remarkable change. Earlier there would be a direct relay of the tapes without any fanfare. But now unbelievably the release is accompanied with a curtain raiser at a global scale. The release of the tapes is announced a few days prior to the final release. The news of the same appears in practically every newspaper and channel of note the world over. The ground is prepared to ensure that as many people as possible see the tape and register its message of fear and hatred. It is basically akin to a curtain raiser for a new movie or a music video.
Consider the following:
It was on the 6th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks that we were subjected to this mirage. The announcement of the new Bin Laden message flooded the airwaves and newspapers. We then saw a Bin Laden, hale and hearty and with a black beard. The reports stated that Laden's bodyguard (where did he come from and did he have a name?) had "revealed" that Bin Laden was healthy and was living with his four wives (how cliched!), in a compound (where, which country, city, location?). The media did not ask a single question. Worse was to follow. After a few days we had another Bin Laden photograph plastered all over the front pages, but this time with a "white beard". Did the dye run off or had he lost his virility?. It was all so ridiculous, but they got away with it.
Then the Mumbai Mirror (29/05/08) reported that a new Laden tape is due in the next 24 hours. What's more, this time the contents of the tape were also known to the "sources" even prior to the release. So we know then as to who writes all the scripts for these tapes, don't we?. The report ominously states that the tape "will urge jehadis to use nuclear, chemical and biological weapons against civilians". It quotes intelligence sources that have spoken to ABC News.
I too was very confused in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks but I began to ask questions and seek answers independent of the corporate media, as the unfolding socio-economic and political scenario did not make rational sense. The incident that made me question and challenge the dominant paradigm was the following.
On the 14th of February 2003, prior to the final US-NATO attack on Iraq, an Al Qaeda tape appeared. It asked the Muslims of the world to unite and wage a jehad against the Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists of the world. I was too stunned because of the simple fact that I was aware that on the next day the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, people of faith and none, were going to march in their millions across the streets of USA, South America, Canada, Europe, Australia along with their Muslim brethren to oppose the impending war on Iraq. Clearly, the Al Qaeda tape had been released with the specific agenda to divide the masses of the world and further serve to demonise the Muslims. From that day I began to maintain a record of the Al Qaeda tapes and I found a design, a clear objective and purpose that was basically serving the cause of the Zionist empire.
Terror is and has always been an instrument of Imperial Zionist foreign policy. It is the politics of terror that is reshaping the geo-strategic and economic map as well as leading to the deepening of the religio-cultural & ethnic fault lines across the world. It is the myths of terror that seek to confuse and weaken the anti-imperialist masses and their struggles against neo-liberal globalization and perpetuate hatred for Muslims and spread Islamophobia, which itself is now a global phenomenon.
Thus it is imperative that we expose these myths and the lies of Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda. It is actually a very simple task and it must be done.

BHARAT BACHAO ANDOLAN
PRESS RELEASE
EXPOSING THE US FALSE FLAG MOCK KILLING OF A LONG DEAD BIN LADEN.
SPEAKERS:
FEROZE MITHIBORWALA, GOPAL RAI, DR. T. REHMANI & VIJENDRA.
PRESS CLUB, RAISINA RD, NEW DELHI, 4TH MAY, 4pm.
It is clear an apparent even to the man on the street, that the recent dramatised murder of Bin Laden was a stage managed operation by US forces in connivance with the Pakistani elite within the ISI & the Military.
What are the reasons why the Obama administration has vainly tried to engineer a very badly handled mock operation to kill a long dead Bin Laden is the question one must ask.
Before we move on to the political analysis of this sordid episode scripted by the CIA & it's very own ISI, lets discuss the questions that are already being raised both in the media & on the streets.
Consider the following points:
1) How come a dreaded terrorist had no weapons & bodyguards to to defend him. We have always been given to believe that the most dangerous terrorist on earth had the greatest of protection. Now we there are conflicting reports that say that there was a gun fight & another that says that there was barely any resistance on the part of Bin Laden who was hiding behind one of his wives.
2) The most glaring question being asked is, why did the US authorities immediately perform the rites & then dump Bin Laden's body into the sea. Compare this to the spectacle of Saddam, when we are being made to watch his dentistry & he was being paraded on every TV across the world.
3) So where are the photographs of the dead Bin Laden? Why was the first photo that appeared in the media a fake, that was then soon pulled out?
4) How come Bin laden was living in a mansion in Abbotabad, without the knowledge of the Pakistani military & the ISI is another simple question with no answers that are forthcoming. There is claer connivance between the ISI & CIA on this current mock dramatised charade.
5) Abbotabad is an imporatnt centre very close to Islamabad & Rawalpindi & is a known ISI-Military stronghold wherein live many important & senior Military personnel.
6) Was the Mansion an ISI safehouse?
7) How come, when the US political leaders were supposedly watching it all live, do we still have contradictory versions emnating from a common source?
There are many other simple questions to which the US & Pakistani authorities have no answers.
But we do have our own analysis that exposes the larger US & Israeli Imperial gamepaln for South Asia & the Middle East, as well as their hegemonic plans for the world.
Beginning of the Counter-Revolution
1) Basically this operation is the first major step in countering the Arab Spring or the popular people's revolution of the Arab masses.
2) On the 25th of April there was a news report that stated that Sheikh Khaled Muhammed, the prime accused in the 9/11 terror attack & currently in the Guantanamo Bay prison, made the following two points.
a) That Bin Laden had escaped the bombings of Tora Bora &
b) If there was any attempt to capture or kill Bin Laden, the Al Qaeda would retaliate by using a nuclear bomb that they have hidden in Europe.
3) Prior to that, it has been clear that the Fatah & the Hamas, the two major forces that comprise the Palestinian freedom struggle are now arriving at a compromise & will sign a unity agreement this week in Cairo.
4) The Arab revolution has seen the loss of Egypt their most important Arab ally & the entire edifice of the occupation of Aran nations is now crumbling.
5) Egypt will draw closer to Iran & for the fisr time we saw Iranian war ships pass the Suez Canal.
6) Egypt will also end the siege of Gaza.
7) The uprising in Yemen & Bahrain challenge the US hegemony in the Arab heartland & in the Gulf region.
8) The US is facing adverse reverses in Afganistan & the hatred for the Americans is growing in Pakistan.
9) In Iraq, the US occupation is being asked to leave by the population.
10) The biggest challenge comes from Palestine & it is clearly targeted at the Israeli occupation that is brutal & racist.
Consider the following:
a) The Fatah & Hamas will unite (this week) & that will lead to a stronger resistance to the occupation on the ground.
b) On the 15th of May we will witness the beginning of the Third Intifada, which promises to be a massive non-violent uprising of the Palestinian masses, supported now by the Arab masses who will come out on the streets in their millions & by now very scared Arab regimes as well.
On the 15th of May, the Palestinian refugees in their millions will be marching upto the borders of Israel (Occupied Palestine) from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon & Syria & this movement will lead to the Third Intifada, which Israel dreads.
c) Mid-June: The Freedom Flotilla 2, that challenges the illegal & inhuman Israeli siege of Gaza, will set of from Europe & Turkey & this again has put Israel in a quandry.
d) September at the UN: The member nations are all set to recognise Palestine as a sovereign Independent state opposed only by Israel & its sole ally the US. Israel dreads this as well.
So the point is that both the US & Israel are on the verge of losing their grip & control of the region & nations that they have hegemonised & people that have faced the brutalities of dictorships as was the case of Mubarak, a stauch US ally.
There is now no other way to counter the revolution. The US surely cannot wage war against the popular uprising. Israel cannot counter the non-violent & popular Third Intifada, as it could not the first Intifada.
Thus the only way ahead now is to create false flag terror attacks.
Lets claer two basic points:
1) Osama Bin Laden has been dead since December 15, 2001 & there is track of either any video or audio evidence of his at all. All such tapes that have appeared have been proven to be false.
2) That the 9/11 terror attacks were false-flag terror attacks masterminded, planned, financed & executed by the CIA & the dreaded MOSSAD.
Once we understand these tow basic points, the rest is easy to comprehend.
So the US-Israeli strategy will be now to create flase-flag terror attacks on scale far more disastrous than the 9/11 terror attacks & this will again bring the issue of terrorism & security back to the centre-stage of International & National politics, thus sidelining the issues of democracy & freedom & thus role back the People's revolution sweeping across the world, where every city & village is revolting against the corruption of neo-liberalism & threatening to become a Tahrir Square.
The next two years are very critical for the forces of liberty & democracy & our resistance to the project of Global hegemony fostered by the forces of elitism, imperilaism & zionism.

I was too stunned because of the simple fact that I was aware that on the next day the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, people of faith and none, were going to march in their millions across the streets of USA, South America, Canada, Europe, Australia along with their Muslim brethren to oppose the impending war on Iraq. Clearly, the Al Qaeda tape had been released with the specific agenda to divide the masses of the world and further serve to demonise the Muslims. From that day I began to maintain a record of the Al Qaeda tapes and I found a design, a clear objective and purpose that was basically serving the cause of the Zionist empire.
Terror is and has always been an instrument of Imperial Zionist foreign policy. It is the politics of terror that is reshaping the geo-strategic and economic map as well as leading to the deepening of the religio-cultural & ethnic fault lines across the world. It is the myths of terror that seek to confuse and weaken the anti-imperialist masses and their struggles against neo-liberal globalization and perpetuate hatred for Muslims and spread Islamophobia, which itself is now a global phenomenon.
Thus it is imperative that we expose these myths and the lies of Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda. It is actually a very simple task and it must be done.

BHARAT BACHAO ANDOLAN
PRESS RELEASE
EXPOSING THE US FALSE FLAG MOCK KILLING OF A LONG DEAD BIN LADEN.
SPEAKERS:
FEROZE MITHIBORWALA, GOPAL RAI, DR. T. REHMANI & VIJENDRA.
PRESS CLUB, RAISINA RD, NEW DELHI, 4TH MAY, 4pm.
It is clear an apparent even to the man on the street, that the recent dramatised murder of Bin Laden was a stage managed operation by US forces in connivance with the Pakistani elite within the ISI & the Military.
What are the reasons why the Obama administration has vainly tried to engineer a very badly handled mock operation to kill a long dead Bin Laden is the question one must ask.
Before we move on to the political analysis of this sordid episode scripted by the CIA & it's very own ISI, lets discuss the questions that are already being raised both in the media & on the streets.
Consider the following points:
1) How come a dreaded terrorist had no weapons & bodyguards to to defend him. We have always been given to believe that the most dangerous terrorist on earth had the greatest of protection. Now we there are conflicting reports that say that there was a gun fight & another that says that there was barely any resistance on the part of Bin Laden who was hiding behind one of his wives.
2) The most glaring question being asked is, why did the US authorities immediately perform the rites & then dump Bin Laden's body into the sea. Compare this to the spectacle of Saddam, when we are being made to watch his dentistry & he was being paraded on every TV across the world.
3) So where are the photographs of the dead Bin Laden? Why was the first photo that appeared in the media a fake, that was then soon pulled out?
4) How come Bin laden was living in a mansion in Abbotabad, without the knowledge of the Pakistani military & the ISI is another simple question with no answers that are forthcoming. There is claer connivance between the ISI & CIA on this current mock dramatised charade.
5) Abbotabad is an imporatnt centre very close to Islamabad & Rawalpindi & is a known ISI-Military stronghold wherein live many important & senior Military personnel.
6) Was the Mansion an ISI safehouse?
7) How come, when the US political leaders were supposedly watching it all live, do we still have contradictory versions emnating from a common source?
There are many other simple questions to which the US & Pakistani authorities have no answers.
But we do have our own analysis that exposes the larger US & Israeli Imperial gamepaln for South Asia & the Middle East, as well as their hegemonic plans for the world.
Beginning of the Counter-Revolution
1) Basically this operation is the first major step in countering the Arab Spring or the popular people's revolution of the Arab masses.
2) On the 25th of April there was a news report that stated that Sheikh Khaled Muhammed, the prime accused in the 9/11 terror attack & currently in the Guantanamo Bay prison, made the following two points.
a) That Bin Laden had escaped the bombings of Tora Bora &
b) If there was any attempt to capture or kill Bin Laden, the Al Qaeda would retaliate by using a nuclear bomb that they have hidden in Europe.
3) Prior to that, it has been clear that the Fatah & the Hamas, the two major forces that comprise the Palestinian freedom struggle are now arriving at a compromise & will sign a unity agreement this week in Cairo.
4) The Arab revolution has seen the loss of Egypt their most important Arab ally & the entire edifice of the occupation of Aran nations is now crumbling.
5) Egypt will draw closer to Iran & for the fisr time we saw Iranian war ships pass the Suez Canal.
6) Egypt will also end the siege of Gaza.
7) The uprising in Yemen & Bahrain challenge the US hegemony in the Arab heartland & in the Gulf region.
8) The US is facing adverse reverses in Afganistan & the hatred for the Americans is growing in Pakistan.
9) In Iraq, the US occupation is being asked to leave by the population.
10) The biggest challenge comes from Palestine & it is clearly targeted at the Israeli occupation that is brutal & racist.
Consider the following:
a) The Fatah & Hamas will unite (this week) & that will lead to a stronger resistance to the occupation on the ground.
b) On the 15th of May we will witness the beginning of the Third Intifada, which promises to be a massive non-violent uprising of the Palestinian masses, supported now by the Arab masses who will come out on the streets in their millions & by now very scared Arab regimes as well.
On the 15th of May, the Palestinian refugees in their millions will be marching upto the borders of Israel (Occupied Palestine) from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon & Syria & this movement will lead to the Third Intifada, which Israel dreads.
c) Mid-June: The Freedom Flotilla 2, that challenges the illegal & inhuman Israeli siege of Gaza, will set of from Europe & Turkey & this again has put Israel in a quandry.
d) September at the UN: The member nations are all set to recognise Palestine as a sovereign Independent state opposed only by Israel & its sole ally the US. Israel dreads this as well.
So the point is that both the US & Israel are on the verge of losing their grip & control of the region & nations that they have hegemonised & people that have faced the brutalities of dictorships as was the case of Mubarak, a stauch US ally.
There is now no other way to counter the revolution. The US surely cannot wage war against the popular uprising. Israel cannot counter the non-violent & popular Third Intifada, as it could not the first Intifada.
Thus the only way ahead now is to create false flag terror attacks.
Lets claer two basic points:
1) Osama Bin Laden has been dead since December 15, 2001 & there is track of either any video or audio evidence of his at all. All such tapes that have appeared have been proven to be false.
2) That the 9/11 terror attacks were false-flag terror attacks masterminded, planned, financed & executed by the CIA & the dreaded MOSSAD.
Once we understand these tow basic points, the rest is easy to comprehend.
So the US-Israeli strategy will be now to create flase-flag terror attacks on scale far more disastrous than the 9/11 terror attacks & this will again bring the issue of terrorism & security back to the centre-stage of International & National politics, thus sidelining the issues of democracy & freedom & thus role back the People's revolution sweeping across the world, where every city & village is revolting against the corruption of neo-liberalism & threatening to become a Tahrir Square.
The next two years are very critical for the forces of liberty & democracy & our resistance to the project of Global hegemony fostered by the forces of elitism, imperilaism & zionism.
