Added August 10, 2005 Al-Qaeda means, "The Base." The Base refers to the US/NATO built and backed training camps for the Mujahideen, or "Holy Warriors." During the Reagan administration they were considered heros and "Freedom Fighters." Reagan himself referred to them as Freedom Fighters fighting to expel the "Evil Empire," that is, The Soviet Union, from Afghanistan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujahideen Just rent a copy of "Rambo III" to see John Rambo fighting side by side with the Freedom Fighters to rescue the Colonel from the Evil clutches of the Evil Empire. EVIL is a good word. It gets people's attention. And helps to deceive them. US "military advisers" trained the Holy Warriors and supplied them with weapons. How did "Mujahideen" become "Al-Qaeda" and how did the "Freedom Fighters" become "Evil Doers?" Osama bin Laden is the leader of the Mujahideen...I mean, the Freedom Fighters, no, no, I mean THE EVIL DOERS. Al-Qaeda! "Jihad" does not mean "Holy War." It means "Struggle." (See wikipedia link, above) Mujahidden are "men in a struggle," NOT "Holy Warriors." The media controls words and language. Control language and you control thought. Why would Osama seek to enrage a Super Power like the US? Did he forget what he learned in his Military Science courses? Why would he do something so stupid? There's an interesting Congressional Record about Afghanistan being essential to running a pipeline from the Caspian Sea oil and gas deposits down through Pakistan to ports on the Indian Ocean. Congress misplaced this particular record. I copied it before it got lost. http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/tradecencrimes/Unocal_Congress.html Here's the original link: http://wwwc.house.gov/international_relations/105th/ap/wsap212982.htm Authentic 1997 CNN Interview With Osama, with Analysis of later (fake) quotes and reports Click Here OSAMA IS A PATSY Al-Qaeda is a fairy tale. A hoax. A lie. Are the News Media still reporting stories about secret terrorist cells being stopped from doing evil and apprehended just in time? Gee, isn't THAT convenient. Don't put much "stock" in such reports. The Media are controlled by the international bankers and industries. They can fabricate anything they want. I wonder how many innocent people are being slandered and destroyed by all this hogwash? There are also "unconfirmed reports" that bin-Laden DIED in December, 2001. Does anybody remember how our News Media told us that Osama needed KIDNEY DIALYSIS TREATMENTS? Is he running around in the mountains dragging a dialysis machine with him? Is he hiding in a cave somewhere undergoing dialysis treatments? I was shocked recently to discover how many Americans have forgotten about Osama's failing kidneys. Many people think it's nonsense - another conspiracy theory! I would find it funny if it wasn't so un-funny. I mentioned Osama's dialysis to one of my own family members and she responded, "Where did you hear that from? One of the crazies on the Internet?" I told her, "No, from Channel 7, Eyewitness News." I was speaking the Gospel Truth, but she didn't believe me. Our government likes Americans with short attention spans. Unfortunately, too many Americans DO have short attention spans. My God, Orwell's "1984" really IS here, isn't it? The truth is what's broadcast on today's TV news. Yesterday is forgotten But what about the videotapes, you ask? Remember the video of jubilant Arabs dancing in Mid East streets following 9/11? It was excrement. It was later revealed that the video had been shot six months earlier during an unrelated celebration. Yet most of us fell for it. Many Americans right now cannot be swayed, even if they accept the fact that the dancing Arabs tape was a fraud. Their opinions are set and they remain fiercely defiant to all attempts to point out flaws in their belief system, or the Media lies and half-truths that helped put those notions in their noggins. Afghanistan is vital to the Oil pipeline built by Halliburton. Gigantic gas and oil reserves were found in the Caspian Sea region and the best way to get it out is to pipe it through Afghanistan, then Pakistan to be loaded onto ships in the Indian Ocean. Yes, there may very well be another devastating terrorist attack on America. By our own government, just like 9/11. It will be blamed on a dead man and a terrorist organization that doesn't exist. We the People will lose even more of our Liberty in the name of "Homeland Security." TO NEW LINKS PAGE TO MAIN PAGE
