When are you going to arrest the perpetrators of the Bali Bombing? : Melbourne Indymedia

The Office of National Assessments (ONA) says the likelihood of Jemaah Islamiah-(JI)[-Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) launching another massive terrorist attack like the Bali bombings has diminished.

The office's director-general has told a Senate Estimates Committee hearing that he believes the terrorist network is reviewing its tactics and is more likely to focus on Indonesian rather than Western targets in the future.

Peter Varghese says while JI [CIA] is still a threat, its capabilities have been weakened?

"Significant parts of JI's [CIA] leadership might have concluded that targeting the West in the form of the big bombs like Bali is counter-productive to the support that they are hoping to create in Indonesia," he said.

The ONA is an intelligence agency just like the CIA which reports directly to the prime minister-John Howard- And the CIA-is and intelligence agency just like the ONA and reports directly to the president-of-the-USA-George W Bush and advises on international political, strategic and economic issues like the illegal and degrading war in Iraq?

Australia's Terrorism Wake Up Call [164]
The horrific bombings of the Sari Club and Paddy's Bar in Bali, on October 12, 2002, considerably strengthened the hand of the CoW in pursuing the War on Terror. Here was an opportunity to harden the hearts of the Australian and US public against Islamic fundamentalists. It was also a chance for the Indonesian government to justify harsh measures in the war against terrorists and secessionists, such at those in the province of Aceh.

hoWARd, will keep chilling you!
All this nonsense to hide the fact that the Bali bombing was not State Sanctioned Terror when it clearly was in relation to the explosive used in the second Bali bomb blast in 2002 which was clearly military hardware.

Yeah sure
Is that why when they asked the President Susilo Bambang YUDHOYONO who JI was he could not answer the media when he had just became President? So if he did not know then they did not even exist. So on that basis there is a black record for even the right wing media to answer. If they can give people a clear answer to the Presidents lack of knowledge then perhaps you can clear up the 'discrepancy' otherwise JI was invented by the CIA as an alleged terrorist network. Mmm is there any other inventions by the CIA that you know about? What about the demon 'al qaeda' where did that come from?

THE POLITICS OF CRIME IN AUSTRALIA TODAY
How is it that Prime Minister John Howard can accuse other people of some crime or lies? No, you do not need to be clairvoyant or have any special supernatural talents to meet up with or to see one of the more see-through inhabitants of politics in Australia today. You just need a strong heart and an eager mind. While other people, who are being accused, belittled, tainted or desecrated by numerous criminal politicians and their media allies. Politicians who don't lead us by any form of example and who break their own morals, principals, values, and ethics. Politicians who break their own laws in order to deceive us and to suit their own political ends.

JI bombing threat 'diminished'
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200705/s1930536.htm

This site may as well be shut down because the number of crazy individuals and lunatic claims made.

To claim that the bali bomb only produce a pressure of 2-10 PSI (pounds per square inch) is lunacy! This claimed pressure would not even blow up (sorry..) A KIDDIES BALOON!

Why do peole spread this shit like that the Islamist Bali bomb was REALLY a israeli (Mossad...) nuclear bomb! That would simply be impossible to conseal ans so very easy to prove. Besides, why would the Israely bother? They are certainly busy with katosha-rockets raigning down on them from Muslim fundamentalists.

All you need to prove that the bali bomb was/was not nuclear is a roll of unused film. If exposed inside its container, then radiation in some form is present.

When you hear roumers of CIA/Mossad being involved in 9/11 and the Bali bombing you sadly understand how many evil-doing lunatics are lurking out there and in Australia! They do their evil with what they have and thanks God that is all these losers have!

Wo, link overload, you're OBSESSED man!

Chalmers Johnson: “Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic"
One of the things I have experienced in these three books is a much more receptive audience of alarmed Americans to Nemesis than to the previous two books, where there was considerable skepticism, so that one -- if we do see a renaissance of citizenship in America, then I believe we could recapture our government. If we continue politics as in the past, then I think there is no alternative but to say Nemesis is in the country, she's on the premises, and she is waiting to carry out her divine mission.

TRIAL BY MEDIA! or trial by a Jury?
Once a person is charged there should be a media black ban on that case until a jury has found the person either guilty or not guilty. If the media have the power to elect our political parties then they also have the power to find people guilty. Especially people who are being tried over and over again. Now with no double jeopardy rules and majority verdicts in NSW then high profile cases have become susceptible to being tried by the media and not by the jury in my humble opinion.

EU: The myth of Islamic terrorism
If we look at the people arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences, the figures are rather disproportionate; about half of them arrested were Muslim. In plain English: Muslims are a group causing very little terrorism in Europe, while at the same time much more likely to be arrested on suspicion of it. The constant media coverage of Muslims being arrested creates the false image of a serious threat in order to benefit the imperialist world-view Washington wants us to adopt.

The War on Free Expression - by Stephen Lendman
The struggle to save our First Amendment rights.
In a post-9/11 climate, the right of free expression is under attack and endangered in the age of George Bush when dissent may be called a threat to national security, terrorism, or treason. But losing that most precious of all rights means losing our freedom that 18th century French philosopher Voltaire spoke in defense of saying "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Using it to express dissent is what noted historian Howard Zinn calls "the highest form of patriotism" exercising our constitutional right to freedom of speech, the press, to assemble, to protest publicly, and associate as we choose for any reason within the law.

Evil Empire: Is Imperial Liquidation Possible for America?
One major problem of the American social and political system is the failure of the press, especially television news, to inform the public about the true breadth of the unconstitutional activities of the executive branch.

Huq, the authors of Unchecked and Unbalanced: Presidential Power in a Time of Terror, observe, "For the public to play its proper checking role at the ballot box, citizens must know what is done by the government in their names."

Tomorrow, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is expected to confirm Iran’s rapid progress in advancing its uranium enrichment program.

Is it a coincidence, then, that ABC News chose today to report, based on information obtained from “current and former officials in the intelligence community,” that the CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert “black” operation to destabilize the Iranian government? Was this information leaked with or without the Administration’s approval? We won’t know until the Administration reacts (or doesn’t react) to the disclosure.

Here are excerpts from the ABC story:

The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the subject, say President Bush has signed a “nonlethal presidential finding” that puts into motion a CIA plan that reportedly includes a coordinated campaign of propaganda, disinformation and manipulation of Iran’s currency and international financial transactions.

[ . . . ]The sources say the CIA developed the covert plan over the last year and received approval from White House officials and other officials in the intelligence community.

Officials say the covert plan is designed to pressure Iran to stop its nuclear enrichment program and end aid to insurgents in Iraq.

[ . . . ] Current and former intelligence officials say the approval of the covert action means the Bush administration, for the time being, has decided not to pursue a military option against Iran.

[ . . . ] The covert action plan comes as U.S. officials have confirmed Iran had dramatically increased its ability to produce nuclear weapons material, at a pace that experts said would give them the ability to build a nuclear bomb in two years.

The emphases are mine.
