A recent report by the British Brainwashing Corporation (BBC) about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia purchasing nuclear weapons from Pakistan could be nothing more than propaganda. This report comes on the heals of supposedly productive talks between Iran and west over the whole nuclear issue. The Saudis have been vociferously protesting this warming of relations. Ergo, the timing of this report is suspect. Even more suspect is the source for this information. It comes from the ever unreliable Israeli intelligence community. Israel and Saudi Arabia have found much in common when it comes to the prospect of Iran securing nuclear weapons, which of course there is no real evidence for. This could all be nothing more than bluster and propaganda directed at the United States in an effort to persuade them to take a more aggressive stance towards Iran. If you don’t do what we like, then we will buy nukes from the Pakistanis, thus starting the nuclear arms race in the Middle East. The most ironic part of this whole story is that the source of Saudi Arabia’s nukes. They are allegedly coming from Pakistan. As FBI whistle blower Sibel Edmonds has noted, Pakistan acquired nuclear technology from various US officials, who were engaged in an illegal nuclear secrets trade deal with various actors in Pakistan.
So, we sell nuclear secrets to the Pakistanis, who in turn sell nuclear weapons to the Saudi’s, and Iran is still the enemy. That is how our current corrupt system works.
According to a Swiss study large amounts of polonium 210 have been found in the bones and property of PLO leader Yasser Arafat. This notion of poisoning was once disregarded as nothing more than a conspiracy theory out out by the conspiracy minded Palestinians. The corporate media and Israeli press of course are still regarding this as the bogus. A spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry went do far as to say this was “more soap opera than science.” Ultimately Israel will never admit that it may have had a hand in murdering Arafat, despite various Israeli leaders at the time saying that killing Arafat was on the table. This is really just confirmation of something that most people already knew to be fact.
The more interesting aspect of this is that it once again forces people to come face to face with the reality that Israel is the only state in the Middle East with nuclear weapons. Polonium 210 can only be created by someone with sophisticated nuclear facilities. The Israeli nuclear weapons program has long been a taboo subject for the western press. As Grant F. Smith has chronicled in his book Divert, US presidents from LBJ to Obama have continued a policy of denial when it comes to the vast nuclear weapons that Israel posses. The discovery large amounts of polonium in Arafat’s body again point to the Israeli nuclear program. The timing of this couldn’t be worse to the Israeli state. While they are urging America to obliterate Iran, they are themselves sitting on a massive reserve of destructive nuclear weapons.
On this episode of PPR we discuss the drug war with guest Guillermo Jimenez. Guillermo is the founder and editor of Traces of Reality where he hosts the TOR Radio podcast, as well as a contributor to Boiling Frogs Post, where he is the host of De-Manufacturing Consent.
According to a new book by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heileman Obama told aides that he’s “he’s really good at killing people.” This was allegedly discussed in connection to Obama’s illegal drone program. The question I am posing here is; should we believe something written by the mainstream corporate news that reinforces our beliefs?
Almost all if not everyone in the alternative media distrust the propagandists in the mainstream corporate media. Yet anytime we see a story in the MSM that is conspiratorial, or reinforces our assertions, we instantly proclaim it to be true. Now to some degree it is true that MSM gets it right every once in a while. There are journalists that work for big corporate news outlets that actually do speak truth to power on occasion. Nonetheless, we should still question the authenticity of reports like ones about Obama openly talking to aides about how great he is at murdering people. For a president obsessed with secrecy to be brazenly talking about how good he is at obliterating human beings to aides, who then talked to some mainstream reporters should sound alarm bells to those claiming to be in the truth movement. Now perhaps Obama did say this. Clearly he has no regards for human life so it’s not at all implausible that he would say this. My only issue with this is that we already know this. We don’t need some Time magazine writers to tell us that. The alt media needs to stop looking for the approval of the mainstream to justify their existence. Think for your self. Don’t listen to Mark Halperin or John Heileman, or Russia Today, or me for that matter. Instead free your own mind and discover the truth that is out there.
Kenyan authorities have arrested four Somali citizens due to their alleged connections to your perpetrators of the Westgate attack. Mohamed Ahmed Abdi, Liban Abdullah Omar, Hussein Hassan Mustafah, and Adan Dheq appeared in court today to plead not guilty. It’s important to note that these four were not at Westgate, nor did they participate in any direct way with the attack. Instead they are being charged with “harboring terror suspects” and “illegally registering as a Kenyan.” For whatever reason the White Widow, Samantha Lewthwaite, was not mentioned in any press releases on the court proceedings. Now presumably if she was one of the masterminds behind this attack she to would have needed shelter before the Westgate operation. For now it seems that those calling the shots would prefer our attention to focused on these four Somalis.
The Kenyan government is still claiming that there were only four gunmen in Westgate, not the dozens that were initially reported. They are still sticking to their story that all of them died. Little if any reall information has been released about these four individuals. Who are they? How did they get the arms into the mall? How did the die? Instead blame will most likely be heaped on these four Somali men and the investigation will fade into the background. Dead men tell no tales. Ultimately we will never get the full picture of what really transpired there in Nairobi. Don’t be surprised if these men are convicted and left to rot in jail with no further calls for investigation.
With so little information actually being presented to use we really need to critically examine these recent arrests. Under our current political paradigm the average person no longer understands the concept of innocent until proven guilty. This is most visible when it comes to cases involving terrorism. If you peruse Twitter or other social media sites you can see this first hand with tons of individuals tweeting that those responsible for the attack have been detained. We know nothing about these four individuals other than the assertion by the Kenyan government that they were involved. One brief article in a mainstream publication is all people need to convince themselves that the culprits have been caught and the case is over. Forget about all your underlying issues with Westgate. Force those thoughts into the memory hole and go back obsessing about the “alternative” messiah Russell Brand, or whatever other idiot we are presented with as the key to our salvation. Pay close attention to the court proceedings of these four men, and pay even closer attention to what is not being presented by the Kenyan authorities.
It turns out there is yet another reason to be fearful of Obamacare. The company in charge of managing the massive troves of personal information being collected received substantial funding from the CIA’s venture capital firm known as In-Q-Tel. In-Q-tel was formed in 1999 with the express role of funding tech companies whose products also serve an intelligence function. In-Q-Tel is famous for providing seed money to Keyhole Inc., which would later be bought up by Google so they could establish Google Earth. This time around the company in question is Socrata. Socrata is a cloud software company which will be handling all of the personal data that all Americans will be required to give when signing up for Obamacare. This will include place of residence, social security number, bank account numbers, medical history, place of employment, income, military background, immigration status, criminal record, email addresses, and phone numbers. All of this data will then be made available to the CIA and all other alphabet soup agencies operating in the United States. Aside from enriching the very corporate firms which have been gouging the American public, Obamacare will also function as intelligence gathering program. This is not a left right issue. This is corporatism at its most dangerous manifestation, fascism. The melding of the corporate sector with that of the government is one of the most pressing issues facing us today. We are entering into a very disturbing reality. One in which there is no difference between the state, and those select firms which have been granted special privilege by the American government.

Intelligence circles in the Middle East are abuzz with news of a mysterious website that appears to offer substantial financial rewards in exchange for information about alleged members of militant group Hezbollah. The website, located at stop910.com, describes its mission as helping end “Hezbollah-perpetrated terrorism in Lebanon and abroad”. It specifically targets the Lebanese group’s Unit 910, believed to be tasked with international operations, including intelligence gathering from around the world. Hezbollah is a Shiite militant group and political party that controls large swathes of Lebanese territory. It was founded in 1985 in response to the invasion of southern Lebanon by the Israel Defense Forces. It is largely funded by Iran and in recent years has come out in support of the Syrian government in the ongoing Syrian Civil War. Much of the stop910.com website consists of dozens of photographs of alleged Hezbollah operatives. Some are identified by name or alias, but the website asks for further information on them, including their real name, primary residence and telephone numbers or email accounts associated with them. Other photographs show images of unidentified individuals, whom the website describes as suspects known to be members of Hezbollah’s Unit 910. Next to each photograph, the website provides an allegedly secure link, which visitors can use to upload information and request payment. The website, which is currently blocked by most Lebanese Internet service providers, claims to represent an alliance of Western intelligence organizations. But McClatchy Newspapers contacted two Western intelligence officials who said the website was almost certainly an Israeli effort to gather information on Hezbollah activities. The United States-based news agency said it spoke to an unnamed “official based in Beirut […], who works for a European intelligence service”. The official told McClatchy that he had seen the website and “wondered why they [the Israeli intelligence services] lied” about who was behind the project. The news agency spoke to another unnamed “intelligence official based in Europe”, who dismissed the project as bad spy tradecraft. “I can’t believe this thing […], it’s very foolish”, he said. And he added: “it actually contains a significant amount of raw intelligence that would be literally illegal for American or European services to release to the public without the highest level of clearance”. The unnamed intelligence official continued: “now anyone can go online and get an idea of how much information we or the Israelis have on some of these guys”.
Tom Secker recently sent me this article on Samantha Lewthwaite which I found extremely odd. So apparently Samantha Lewthwaite is also a poet. The alleged terrorist mastermind is said to have written this poem in 2011 on the laptop that was allegedly discovered in the alleged bomb factory that she allegedly ran in Mombasa Kenya. Now how is it that after two years of having access to this laptop the security services seem to have just discovered this information? Do we even know if this was really discovered on the computer, or simply fabricated to further inflate the narrative of the White Widow? We don’t, which is why I would caution anyone from jumping to any serious conclusions about this recent “discovery.” In my opinion, which is purely speculative, this is yet another attempt by the security state to draw our attention away from what really happened at Westgate, as well as the new reincarnation of the war on terror, and to instead have us focus entirely on this cartoon character of a terrorist. This concept of Samantha Lewthwaite continually thwarting efforts to capture her, while simultaneously coordinating complex military style assaults on shopping centers, is about as believable as a six and half foot tall Saudi with dialysis hiding out in a cave in Afghanistan directing the most sophisticated terror operation to date. Below is the alleged poem penned by Lewthwaite.
Ode to Bin Laden
Oh sheik osama my father, my brother
My love for you is like no other
Oh Sheik Osama now that you are gone
The muslims must wake up they must be strong
I know that you are in a better place
That Allah has bestowed upon you grace.
Us we are left to continue what you started.
To seek the victory until we are martyred.
To instill terror into kuffar.
Until the world is governed by la illaha illala.
Oh sheik osama no this for true
My heart will not find peace until all muslims do.
Everything you had you gave for Allah
No surrender will take us all far.
Your life an example of how we should be.
Oh Muslims listen to our beloved sheik’s words
Let not his struggle and efforts go unheard
Revive what he started and strive to success
Then maybe we can be raised with the best.
Oh sheik Osama we are jealous of you to be of those who the promise is true
The promise is truth which is binding if only we knew
Verily Allah has purchased the lives of the believers that theirs shall be paradise.
They fight in Allahs cause, so they kill and are killed.
It is a promise binding on Allah in taurat, injill and Qur’an
And who is truer to his covenant than Allah?
As for our enemies our words will be less.
You picked the wrong army to contest.
Al Qaeda are stronger and fiercer than ever.
Thinking in the end you are stupid it will NEVER
Be over until the day that we see our lands returned and governed by He Allah the almighty, whose law is complete.
So make your plans and He is the best of planners.
Their was no victory for you Mr Obama, the honour is his on martyred Osama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
