Wake up Call!

"September 11 for me was a wake up call. Do you know what I think the problem is? That a lot of the world woke up for a short time and then turned over and went back to sleep again."

US President George Bush warns Syria and Iran

In a speech before the National Endowment for Democracy on the war on terror, US President George Bush accused Syria and Iran of sheltering and supporting terror organizations and vowed to end this support.
     "We're determined to deny radical groups the support and sanctuary of outlaw regimes. State sponsors like Syria and Iran have a long history of collaboration with terrorists and they deserve no patience from the victims of terror. The United States makes no distinction between those who commit acts of terror and those who support and harbor them because they're equally guilty of murder."
     President Bush said that one of the goals of the terrorists is to destroy Israel. He also pointed out that the Israeli occupation of the West Bank is used by terrorist groups as an excuse for attacks.
     "Over the years, these extremists have used a litany of excuses for violence: the Israeli presence on the West Bank or the US military presence in Saudi Arabia or the defeat of the Taliban or the Crusades of a thousand years ago. 
     In fact, we're not facing a set of grievances that can be soothed and addressed. We're facing a radical ideology with inalterable objectives to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world. 
     No act of ours invited the rage of the killers, and no concession, bribe or act of appeasement would change or limit their plans for murder," said Bush.
     Bush likened the ideology of Islamic militants to communism. And he said they are being "aided by elements of the Arab news media that incite hatred and anti-Semitism."
     "Against such an enemy, there's only one effective response: We never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory," Bush declared.

Syrian-born Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, has been sentenced in a Spanish court of 27 years in prison, 12 years for leadership of al Qaeda in Spain and 15 years for "conspiracy" in the planning of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.

Al-Qaida creates new internet TV channel

Al-Qaida has created a new internet TV channel called Sawt Al-Khilafah (Voice of the Caliphate), a reference to the Islamic empire that emerged after the death of the prophet Muhammad. One of Osama bin Laden's declared goals is to reestablish the empire that once stretched from Turkey to Spain.
     Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas was labeled a "collaborator with the Jews," accusing him of assisting Israel in its war on Hamas.
     A senior Palestinian authority official said, "This is a very dangerous development. Al-Qaida and other Islamic terror groups are trying to replace the Palestinian Authority with a radical regime. 
     Al-Qaida has been trying to establish its own terror cells in the Gaza Strip following the Israeli withdrawal from the area

Oregon, USA Jihadists

The FBI knows of "jihadists" who have trained in terrorist camps in Afghanistan and are now living in Oregon, the agency's Oregon chief said in an interview with The Associated Press. 'We don't have an imminent threat that we're aware of. But I will say this: We have people here in Oregon that have trained in jihadist camps in bad areas.' said FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Jordan. He said the FBI knows 'they've trained overseas, taken oaths to kill Americans and engage in jihad,' but the challenge is to prove those things.

Authorities in the United States charged a radical Muslim cleric in London, known as al-Masri,  with 11 terrorism-related crimes, including trying to set up a terror training camp in Bly, Oregon while providing aid to both al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and assisting in the kidnapping of Americans and others in Yemen. Al-Masri's real name whose real name is Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, has been arrested in London.

If convicted of the most serious charge against him — hostage taking — the 47-year-old cleric could face the death penalty.

"The United States will use every diplomatic, legal and administrative tool to pursue and prosecute those who facilitate terrorist activities," said Attorney General John Ashcroft in announcing the arrest Thursday. "And we will not stop until the war against terrorism is won."

Three months ago in Seattle, a Muslim convert with ties to al-Masri received two years in prison after pleading guilty to aiding the Taliban.

James Ujaama, 38, was arrested in July 2002 and was indicted on two charges: conspiring to set up a terrorist training camp in Bly, Ore., and using a firearm to further the conspiracy.

Ujaama plead guilty in exchange for his cooperation in terrorism investigations. In particular, prosecutors wanted to hear what he knew about Hamza, whose Web site Ujaama once ran.

Ashcroft said at a news conference that, among other evidence linking al-Masri to the plot, investigators had obtained a fax from co-conspirators in the United States to the cleric proposing creation of the camp.

Al-Masri was formerly the Imam at the Finsbury Park Mosque in London, which has been linked to several terrorist suspects, including Sept. 11 suspect Zacarias Moussaoui and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid.

"He is the real deal," said New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. "Think of him as a free-lance consultant to terrorist groups worldwide."

Al-Masri's arrest came a day after Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller warned that a stream of credible intelligence indicates a major terrorist attack could occur in the United States this summer, and the FBI posted a list of seven wanted al-Qaeda operatives.

Iran five years away from developing a nuclear weapons capability

Iran, threatened with referral to the U.N. Security Council over its atomic ambitions, is five years away from developing a nuclear weapons capability. Iran is a major funding source for international terrorist organizations, and there is a strong likelihood that Iran will use nuclear weapons to further their radical Islamic goals. The targets of these warheads will be Israel, Europe and the United States.
     The U.S. administration will send the issue to the United Nations Security Council in an attempt to deter Iran from this dangerous direction, but it is unlikely that the Security Council will unite against the danger Iran's nuclear ambitions present to the world.

Zawahiri threatens more destruction

Ayman al-Zawahiri  issued a new warning for the United States. "Our message is clear -- what you saw in New York and Washington (in 2001) and what you are seeing in Afghanistan and Iraq, all these are nothing compared to what you will see next."

"To the British, I am telling you that Blair brought you destruction in the middle of London and more will come, God willing," Zawahiri said.

The family of Mohammad Sedique Khan, the man who is believed to be responsible for the subway blast near Edgware Road, issued an apology. He was from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. "The Khan family would like to sincerely express their deepest and heartfelt sympathies to all the innocent victims and their families and friends affected by this horrific and evil act," the statement says. "We are devastated that our son may have been brainwashed into carrying out such an atrocity, since we know him as a kind and caring member of our family. "We urge people with the tiniest bit of information to come forward in order to expose these terror networks which target and groom our sons to carry out such evils."

"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
Sir Winston Churchill

Terrorism Defined

Terrorism refers to acts of lethal force specifically committed against non-combatants. It does not refer to civilian casualties as a result of war. Terrorists strike at innocent men, women and children specifically because they are outside of the theater of war, amplifying the horror of their actions and thus the resulting press derived from their horrendous acts. It was not until the brutality of September 11 that all civilized governments agreed to act together to exterminate all terrorists from the face of the earth. Unfortunately too many heads of state and the populations of far too many nations believe that appeasement is the solution to al Qaeda. I pray that they will come to understand in time. I would hope that humanity could learn from history.

The leaders of the terrorist organizations currently engaged in the murder of innocent men, women and children in Israel have vowed never to stop until all Israelis are driven into the sea. Any recent statements by Yasser Arafat to the contrary is merely subterfuge.

The leaders of these same terrorist groups sit on the board of directors, if you will, of al Qaeda, along with intelligence agents of Iran and most likely Syria.

This fact is well known by the US authorities, but their problem is that the US is in bed with the Middle Eastern oil nations. This is a difficult challenge for us all, as the solution lies in the severance of our dependency upon the oil rich countries of Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia for our energy needs. We may need to make the difficult choice between the security of our nation and our willingness to open up drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and to using our vast reserves of coal.

I am seriously concerned over the lack of serious probing into the composition of the al Qaeda hierarchy by the news media.

Senior-level members of al Qaeda are comprised of agents of the intelligence branches of Iran and top-level members of Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestine Islamic Jihad, Islamic Jihad, al Jihad, al-Gama`a al Islamiya and numerous other internationally active Middle Eastern derived terrorist groups.

"Al-Qaeda's current goal is to establish a pan-Islamic Caliphate throughout the world by working with allied Islamic extremist groups . . . " - Issued statement in February 1998 by Osama bin Laden under the banner of "The World Islamic Front for Jihad Against the Jews and Crusaders," basically a red herring to conceal the growing strength of 'al Qaeda', an amalgam of international terrorist group leaders and intelligence agents of middle eastern nations, saying it was the duty of all Muslims to kill US citizens--civilian or military--and their allies everywhere."

The smallest and lightest nuclear weapon ever deployed by the US military

The smallest and lightest nuclear weapon ever deployed by the US military was called Davy Crockett.         "Yes, small atomic charges exist. They are very small. Several dozen kilotons, thirty kilotons, forty kilotons." By President Yeltsin's former Science Advisor, Alexei Yablokov, testifying to the American Congress regarding easily portable, or 'suitcase' bombs.

Location of bin Laden?

The likelihood that any of the top-level members of al Qaeda, including Osama bin Laden, are still in Afghanistan seems unlikely.

The most likely location of their shelter from the wrath of America is in the US. They could all be disguised as overweight, aging immigrants from South America, as hillbillies in the Ozarks (Osama bin Laden's favorite) or as white Anglo-Saxon men drinking beer, watching television and carousing with women. They have all received professional training in the art of disguise, and their capabilities in this manner are sufficient to fool your mother, much less a customs official.

The Definition of Understatement

"If Osama bin Laden walked in here this minute and turned himself in and said he's sorry, the Al Qaeda network would exist," Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld said. "It has businesses across the globe. It has sleepers in various countries. It has cells. It has money. It has communication capability, and I'm going to guess it has one or two handfuls of people who are perfectly capable of continuing to operate that network." by Donald H. Rumsfeld -Dec. 19, 2001

The Takfir wal-Hijra Doctrine

Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s top Lieutenant, formed the Egyptian terrorist group al Jihad, whose tenets embraced the Takfir wal Hijra ideology. The Takfir doctrine justifies not only the incomprehensibly brutal torture and murder of ‘infidels’ but also of Muslims who do not adhere to the Takfir doctrines. It is in actuality an Islamic fascism. Azzam Tamimi, director of the Institute of Islamic Political thought in London says of Zawahiri, "His ideas negate the existence of common ground with others". He also states “Zawahiri is al Qaeda's ideologue now.” Zawahiri is considered by some intelligence analysts as the dominant influence which steered bin Laden and al Qaeda towards the adoption of  the Takfir ideology. Readers of Beyond coincidence will discover that al Zawahiri was not alone in his absolute dedication towards and immersion within the Takfir doctrines. From Terrence Jones, author of "Beyond Coincidence"

To use the word atrocities for the acts these beasts committed in the name of Islam is to negate the very meaning of how we perceive language. I am speaking of men who have embraced the unthinkable as their ally, perceiving him to be the one and only true god, so that they may dance in glory, even at the moment of their death, firmly believing that he whom had so severely deceived them may put them at his side at the moment of his illusory triumph, at the throne of this beast whom has forever throughout existence wanted to be called 'god.' (Lower case intentional).
From Terrence Jones, author of "Beyond Coincidence"

AMERICA STRIKES BACK

As Americans have finally acknowledged, there is a war currently being waged upon US soil by an increasingly technologically sophisticated consortium composed of top-level operatives of Hezbollah, al Jihad, Palestine Islamic Jihad, Hamas, al-Gama`a al-Islamiya, Islamic Jihad, and secret service agents from Iran and several other middle eastern nations all grouped together under the umbrella of al Qaeda, the deadly international terrorist organization whose figurehead is Osama bin Laden. This was no secret years ago, as the information has been in the public domain for over seven years. After the tragic strike by al Qaeda at America's financial and military centers of September 11, 2001 and the senseless resulting loss of over 3,00 innocent lives Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda are now household terms. 

Ayman al-Zawahiri, now commonly referred to as bin Laden's top Lieutenant and founder of the deadly Egyptian terrorist group al-Jihad is finally recognized by western intelligence analysts as well as the US Government as a threat equal to or greater than bin Laden, and now a primary target of the US-led war against terrorists. Ayman al-Zawahiri is without a doubt the current military henchman and the lethal force behind al-Qaeda, but this is only due to the fact that the former intellect, strategist and the fundamental base of power behind all of al Qaeda activities, Damien Hachey, was killed in 1997 at the very moment al Qaeda was poised to strike at the heart of America with deadly dirty nuclear bombs.

The tragic September 11th, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers World Trade Center in New York City and on the Pentagon in Washington DC were three of four targets planned to be hit in the US that morning. The other target in the US now known to be Capital Hill. These attacks are now known to have coincided with strikes on the US Embassies in Paris, Singapore and undoubtedly other attacks still unknown to us that were derailed due to the concienscious efforts of American and European intelligence agencies. This was intended to be the core front of an extended international campaign to crush our willingness to persevere in war, and eventually leading to the collapse of western civilization's financial  infrastructure. This second attempt was conducted by al Qaeda with their stated intention of destroying Western society and replacing it with a New Era consisting of a global-wide Islamic state run by fanatical adherents to the Takfir wal Hijra doctrine.

"Al-Qaeda's current goal is to establish a pan-Islamic Caliphate throughout the world by working with allied Islamic extremist groups . . . " - Issued statement in February 1998 by Osama bin Laden under the banner of "The World Islamic Front for Jihad Against the Jews and Crusaders," basically a red herring to conceal the growing strength of 'al Qaeda', an amalgam of international terrorist group leaders and intelligence agents of middle eastern nations, saying it was the duty of all Muslims to kill US citizens--civilian or military--and their allies everywhere."

Al-Gama`a al-Islamiyyah

Al-Gama`a al-Islamiyyah emerged during the 1970's as a phenomenon rather than an organized group, mainly in Egyptian jails and later on in some of the Egyptian universities. Following the release of most of the Islamic prisoners from the Egyptian jails by president Sadat after 1971, several groups of militants began to organize themselves. These militant groups or cells took names such as the Islamic Liberation Party, al-Takfir wal-Hijra (Excommunication and Emigration), Al-Najun min al-nar (Saved from the Inferno), and Jihad (Holy War), as well as many others, including al-Gama'a al-Islamiyyah (The Islamic Group). Each cell operated separately and was self-contained, a fact that allowed the organization to be structured, but at the same time loosely organized.

In February 1998, bin Laden announced the formation of an umbrella organization called “The Islamic World Front for the struggle against the Jews and the Crusaders” (Al-Jabhah al-Islamiyyah al-`Alamiyyah li-Qital al-Yahud wal-Salibiyyin) Among the members of this organization are the Egyptian al-Gama’a al-Islamiyyah and the Egyptian al-Jihad. Both of these groups were have been active in terrorism over the past decade.  The founder members of The World Islamic Front include Osama bin Laden, Dr. Ayman al- Zawahiri, leader of the Egyptian al-Jihad and Rifa'i Ahmad Taha, a leader of the Islamic Group. The Islamic Group is responsible for the live dismemberment and murder of 64 tourists in Luxor, Egypt in November 1997. The details of the physical violence perpetuated upon those innocent civilians was not broadcast over the media due to the difficulty of the western moral concepts towards this type of brutality, but I believe this is a mistake. People need to know the extent of the depravity of those monsters, or else they will not be able to fully understand the necessity to put a stop to this madness, no matter the cost.

The degree of the insanity of the al Qaeda leadership is reflected in their absolute belief that they cannot fail in their goal of global dominion. The depth of satisfaction they derive from their incomprehensibly brutal acts upon innocent people irrespective even of their age or gender demonstrates their total immersion into an unrelenting sadistic attachment to violence vastly exceeding even Nero's morally corrupt reign when societies' unbridled and bloodthirsty lust emphasized the experiencing of progressively heightened levels of extended violence intertwined with sex incorporating maximum levels of pain and torture resulting in the most painful possible death of the subject. Close comparisons can be found between the sexual depravity from Roman society during Nero's rule and of the al Qaeda leadership.

Their current military campaign against the United States of America is an attempt to achieve the goals al Qaeda had failed to achieve from their New Era operation, -i.e., "a world-wide Islamic Caliphate"  modeled after the former Afghanistan Taliban regime, which was conducted in the US by senior members of al Qaeda over a number of years, culminating in their successful attempt in 1997 to smuggle ten nuclear bombs and over 100 lbs of U239 into the US and detonate them at our nation's political, financial and military centers. That operation came within a heartbeat of succeeding.

One aspect of al Qaeda that Americans have not fully comprehended is the unwavering belief of al Qaeda members that they will succeed in their goal of global dominion. I assure you the senior members of al Qaeda have illusions of spiritual supremacy over the West, and they fully believe that any methods that humiliate and frighten their enemy, including the live dismemberment and desecration of their victims, is not only allowable but mandatory under Islamic law. Al Qaeda is well known for their predilection for videotaping of their murders. Tens of thousands of followers worldwide are anxious to sacrifice their lives towards al Qaeda's unrelenting path towards the destruction of Western culture.

Ayman Al-Zawahiri

Osama bin Laden's senior deputy, Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian radical who is now the real strategist behind al Qaeda, is a prime suspect in President George W. Bush's global war on terrorism.. Al- Jihad members testified during the 1999 trial in Egypt that he had entered the USA in 1995 using the alias Dr Abdel Moez and while there raised funds used to finance attacks on the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, and elsewhere. According to London’s Guardian newspaper, the US House of Representatives judiciary subcommittee on immigration was told by a counter terrorism expert in January 2000 that al-Zawahiri was one of several Islamic militants who had been granted green card status by the US Immigration Service. Al-Zawahiri, born on June 19, 1951, was indicted along with Bin Laden by a federal grand jury in New York in 1999 for the US embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dar-es Salaam in August 1998 and has been named as a prime suspect in the 11 September suicide attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington.

Note: al-Zawahiri's visit was extended over a period of several years, undoubtedly with numerous exits and entries. Typical of al Qaeda's  methods, he would have entered under several layers of covers, one of them apparently being fundraising. His real purpose for being in the US is outlined on this site, and covered in depth in 'The Little Scroll'. I assure you this man would not go to the trouble of entering the USA for a mere $2000. Al Qaeda has collected over $100M annually from Islamic Charities alone, not including their funds raised through heroin and cocaine trafficking, in excess of $350 million per year. They don't need money that bad.

Al Qaeda's 'New Era' Operation

In April of 1997, in an extremely sophisticated operation developed over a period of many years, members of the intelligence branch of the Iranian army, Osama bin Laden, Abu Zubaydah other senior members of the lethal international terrorist organization al Qaeda successfully smuggled a submarine containing close to one thousand pounds of Plutonium 239 into the US.

An early element of this operation began with the purchase of a large piece of river-front property along the Willamette river in what used to be a pre-colonial Russian community called New Era., Oregon. I grew up in that area, but I had never associated that long-ago abandoned community with Hitler's infamous 1936 World Olympics speech when he said, " I hereby declare a New Era with the beginning of these Olympic Games."

There was an old cedar shake mill on this land, replete with a large mill pond used to park and sort large rafts of cedar logs brought down the Willamette River. After purchasing this land, they then proceeded to fill in that small lake, surreptitiously bringing in two ocean-going barges during the night, sinking them, and covering them up. A man I knew only as Gary Tour hinted that they had received a grant from the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to pay for the costs. Their next step was to begin the long-term task of turning these barges into submarine bays, complete with two levels of living quarters, enough room to house a small village. While I was living there they brought in over a dozen truckloads of furniture which mysteriously disappeared. They had constructed, and concealed with exceptional skill, a freight elevator capable of raising and lowering  furniture for their living quarters, as well as vehicles such as small pickup trucks.

Al Qaeda had purchased a tug company, with three large ocean-going tugboats, and included with their purchase were contracts for dredging the Willamette and Columbia rivers, and hauling in limestone and other products from Canada. When all of their interrelated tasks and their usual plethora of backup plans were in place an Iranian Submarine carrying a several thousand pounds of Plutonium 239 began its long journey to the US. They had also constructed a mobile sub bay also constructed from an ocean barge, and this was used to conceal the submarine during transit into US waters. After entering US territory they proceeded up the Columbia River, where they likely paused at Pier # 4, the International Port of Portland, Oregon. Osama bin Laden is known to own several shipping companies. Being at the confluence of the Columbia River and the Willamette Rivers,  they then had only to navigate up the Willamette River from Portland 20 miles to New Era, where they had built their huge submarine bay.

I have knowledge of the arrival of this submarine due to the fact that my family and I lived in a mobile home which sat above the submarine bay, and although we were not at the time aware of the cause of the roaring in the water, (defective muffler on the diesel sub) nor of the reason for the intense shaking of the mobile home, (the gates of the underwater sub bay being raised) we were there when the submarine arrived. Those readers who have faced an extreme life-threatening situation  before will have an idea of what this was like.

Although the senior members of the US Government and the intelligence community understandably declined to publicize these events, the highly trained foreign agents described herein came within a heartbeat of succeeding in their plan to cause the destruction of Washington DC and New York City, the political and financial hubs of the US; and I suspect as well CENTCOM and NORAD. CENTCOM is the acronym for Central Command, responsible for the protection of US interests in the Middle East, Northern Africa and Southwest Asia. The Commander in Chief NORAD (CINCNORAD) is responsible to the governments of both Canada and the United States for the aerospace defense of North America.

The principals in this operation included the upper level members of al Qaeda, composed of: Osama bin Laden, Djamel Beghal, until his recent arrest in U.A.E., director of European terrorist operations; Soubhi Mahmoud Fyad, a high ranking member of Hezbollah, the terrorist group created in 1984 by the Iranian military intelligence service  that analysts consider to be a front for that agency; Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's military commander, founder and head of al-Jihad, the Egyptian terrorist group responsible for the assassination of Anwar Sadat and for the live dismemberment and subsequent murder of 65 mostly Swedish tourists at Luxor, Egypt in 1995;  Damien Hachey, the former prophet, power and brains behind al Qaeda, and Abu Zubaydah, al Qaeda's coordinator of International Operations..

The 'Charter of Hamas', the philosophical basis for Islamic fundamentalism and their terrorist activities, allows for the 'existence' of religions other than fundamentalist Islam, 'but only if under the umbrella of (their warped interpretation) of Islam. I came to know the top ranking members of al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, al Jihad and al-Gaama al-Islamiya organizations more thoroughly than I would have preferred, and I assure you that although the supreme prophet of the operation is now dead, they came extremely close to succeeding, and they will most certainly try again.

If you are concerned about your loved ones, your family, and our country, the United States of America, become aware of the inherent power cloaked within the unbridled hatred these Islamic fundamentalist zealots hold towards the free and enlightened culture of Western society. This power is lethally directed against you and I, and towards our society; not only through increasingly frequent large-scale 'terrorist acts' against American institutions abroad; it now also directed with lethal force against innocent Americans on our own soil; men, women and children alike, and all undertaken with absolute celebratory delight.

Al Qaeda's New Era Operation

For an in-depth description of  the events surrounding the New Era operation, and  reflections by the author of this website and of 'Beyond Coincidence' on the nature of all conflict, including the conflict between fundamentalist Muslim forces and western civilization and the freedom of the spirit which Democracy represents, the introduction to "Beyond Coincidence: " has been published here for the benefit of the public's increased awareness of the lethal danger facing us all.

The complete text of  this book (78,000 words) encompasses a detailed description of Osama bin laden and the top-level members of al Qaeda, of their methodologies used for fundraising, identity theft, narcotics operations, their connections with the Hells Angels, the Cali cocaine cartel, and how close they came to successfully detonating a dirty bomb aimed at the heart of America's financial center, the horrendous crimes committed by these morally corrupt monsters and of the miracle that stopped them.
