Top Ranking CIA Operatives Admit Al-qaeda Is a Complete Fabrication

Polidics.com, by Mr. Charrington on January 7, 2008

BBC’s killer documentary called “The Power of Nightmares“. Top CIA officials openly admit, Al-qaeda is a total and complete fabrication, never having existed at any time. The Bush administration needed a reason that complied with the Laws so they could go after “the bad guy of their choice” namely laws that had been set in place to protect us from mobs and “criminal organizations” such as the Mafia. They paid Jamal al Fadl, hundreds of thousands of dollars to back the U.S. Government’s story of Al-qaeda, a “group” or criminal organization they could “legally” go after. This video documentary is off the hook…

Blair said, “Al Qaeda is not an organization. Al Qaeda is a way of working … but this has the hallmark of that approach.”

Our Politicians who belong to the American people

 
In this country Free Speech has been guaranteed to the American people as their right, along with other rights.
 
To date, it is slowly being snuffed out, seeing the entire and large array of those professors, politicians and other professionals who have been thrown out of their jobs, or are being denied tenure at our universities.
 
This has got to stop. As you can see below, this Israel Lobby's bill, the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act, will completely stop one of our most precious freedoms.
 
In Europe, certain books and certain parts of speech are denied, especially in Germany, which is perfectly ridiculous. And now, we will suffer the same if this cruel and anti-American law goes through.
 
Not only that, we believe that the troubles that America is now having, are due to the power of this lobby which chooses to put Israel first, letting the American people suffer.
 
No more funds should be put into Israel's hands, no more War Equipment given or sold to Israel. We have a right to protest, and during the past few decades, many have been killed only because of the machinations of Israel's desires.
 
STOP FUNDING ISRAEL NOW. STOP GIVING POWER TO AIPAC. STOP ISRAEL FROM MURDERING PALESTINIANS. STOP ISRAEL FROM CREATING WARS IN ARAB AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
 
HOW MANY MOTHERS IN PALESTINE ARE GOING TO BE KILLED BY OUR US WAR EQUIPMENT?
 
Thank you for reading this.
 
Sincerely,
Paul Bradford

In Afghanistan, while the US christian soliders-turned-evangelicals are using their military muscle to convert poor Afghan Muslims to Christianity, in Kheda district of India's Gujarat province, the evangelicals are in a very subtle way distancing Muslims from Islam and converting them to Christianity.

The Christian missionaries are running a number of self-hlep groups and NGO in interior areas apparently to train the poor and help them acquire skills for self-employment. while doing these `services', they are also propagating the Christianity among the poor Muslims and many of them have embraced Christianity. However, the evangelicals known as missionaries in India, are doing their work silently without giving any publicity to their activities.

Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign to Protest Israeli ‘Independence Celebrations’

On  Tuesday 5th May in Ballsbridge

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) will stage a peaceful protest picket outside the Ballsbridge Court Hotel where the Israeli Embassy will be hosting an evening celebrating Israeli Independence Day.

The protest began at 6.30pm on Tuesday 5th May outside the Ballsbridge Court Hotel, Shelbourne Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

IPSC spokesperson Kevin Squires said: Tuesday symbolically marked 61 years since the foundation of the State of Israel, which entailed the ethnic cleaning of some 750,000 indigenous Palestinians from their homes. They were never to return. Palestinians call these events Al-Nakba (The Catastrophe). While the Israeli Ambassador and his friends celebrate this tragedy, millions of Palestinian refugees will mourn the loss of their homeland and wait for their Right of Return to be implemented.

Mr. Squires continued: “This event will be nothing other than a celebration of 61 years of ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, particularly disgusting in the wake of the slaughter of 1,400 people in Gaza at the beginning of this year.”

Mr. Squires concluded: “Those attending this event should be ashamed of themselves, and we will be there to ensure that they are shamed.”
