Osama Bin Laden and September 11
Wednesday, 28 May 2008 02:34 Pakistan Daily
Not many people know that, after September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden issued a statement on tape
that he had nothing to do with the attacks on America and that such actions were against the
teachings of Islam. Americans were prevented from accessing this information because we were
told that Osama could possibly have an embedded "secret code" in the tape that would alert
other terrorists cells to "activate" and target other American cities.
Here is the transcript of what you were not allowed to hear from Osama bin Laden's own mouth
" I was not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States nor did I have knowledge
of the attacks. There exists a government within a government within the United States. The
United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; to the
people who want to make the present century a century of conflict between Islam and
Christianity. That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks. ... The
American system is totally in control of the Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the
United States."

Carter Urges 'Supine' Europe To Break With US Over Gaza Blockade
Ex-president says EU is colluding in a human rights crime
By Jonathan Steele and Jonathan Freedland
26/05/08 "The Guardian" -- Britain and other European governments should break from the US over
the international embargo on Gaza, former US president Jimmy Carter told the Guardian
yesterday. Carter, visiting the Welsh border town of Hay for the Guardian literary festival,
described the EU's position on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute as "supine" and its failure to
criticise the Israeli blockade of Gaza as "embarrassing".
Referring to the possibility of Europe breaking with the US in an interview with the Guardian,
he said: "Why not? They're not our vassals. They occupy an equal position with the US."
The blockade on Hamas-ruled Gaza, imposed by the US, EU, UN and Russia - the so-called Quartet
- after the organisation's election victory in 2006, was "one of the greatest human rights
crimes on Earth," since it meant the "imprisonment of 1.6 million people, 1 million of whom are
refugees". "Most families in Gaza are eating only one meal per day. To see Europeans going
along with this is embarrassing," Carter said.
He called on the EU to reassess its stance if Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza. "Let the
Europeans lift the embargo and say we will protect the rights of Palestinians in Gaza, and even
send observers to Rafah gate [Gaza's crossing into Egypt] to ensure the Palestinians don't
violate it."

Israel's Grim Anniversary
60 Years of Apartheid
By SHARON SMITH
May 22, 2008
South Africa’s white minority government was finally overthrown in 1993, after decades of black
popular and working-class resistance. That year, the black majority democratically elected the
African National Congress--previously derided as a “terrorist” organization by apartheid’s
imperial supporters, including the U.S.--to lead its government. Freedom fighter Nelson
Mandela, having spent 27 years in a South African prison and reviled as an international
terrorist, was reinvented in the Western press as an elder statesman.
Now the apartheid state of Israel fears it will meet the same fate from its own oppressed, and
growing, Palestinian population. While Israel’s proponents continue to rhetorically claim that
the Zionist state is the only bulwark against another Holocaust, its leaders also continue to
openly express its true identification with South Africa’s racist regime. Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert remarked recently in the New York Times, “We now have the Palestinians
running an Algeria-style campaign against Israel, but what I fear is that they will try to run
a South Africa-type campaign against us.” If international sanctions are imposed as they were
against apartheid, “the state of Israel is finished.”

War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death (2007)
"War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government
deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from
Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival
footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in
stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages
of successive presidential administrations." - imdb.com

Jimmy Carter calls for US to make friends with Iran after 27 years
By Joy Lo Dico
Monday, 26 May 2008
The former US president Jimmy Carter has called for his country to resume trade relations with
Iran, which he described as a "rational" nation. Speaking at the Hay Festival yesterday, Mr
Carter also suggested the US should provide nuclear power technology and fuel to Iran as a show
of goodwill.
"What happens if, in three years time, Iran has a nuclear weapon," Mr Carter asked. "I'm not
sure that is going to happen, but if it does, what do we do? They are rational people like all
of us in this room. Do they want to commit suicide? I would guess not. So what we have to do is
talk with them now and say to them we want to be their friends. The United States must let Iran
know that we want to give them fuel and everything they need for a non-military nuclear
programme. Twenty-five years ago we cut off trading with Iran. We've got to resume trading to
show Iran we are friends."
During the Carter administration , 52 American diplomats were held hostage by the Iranians for
over a year, and only freed on the last day of his presidency in 1981.

When it comes to Israel , Europe is hypocritical, submissive and obsequious
by Khalid Amayreh in Ramallah
In comparison to the madman in the White House, Europe may look less bellicose, less
confrontational and less unreasonable in its overall approach to contentious international issues.
However, when the issue is the Palestinian plight, the US and Europe look very much like
tweedledee and tweedledum.
In recent months and years, European leaders from Germany’s Merkel, to France’s Sarkozy, to
Britain’s Brown and Italy’s Berlusconi were shamelessly pandering to Israeli savagery to the
extent of embracing relentless Israeli criminality against the Palestinian people , including
the ongoing genocidal ethnic cleansing in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in
the Gaza Strip.
True, the European tone of speech often sounds less odious especially when compared with the
unmitigated saber-rattling coming from Washington. But, in the final analysis, the outcome in
both cases is similar. In fact, the US and Europe collaborate and even collude to effect the
same unethical goals often by playing the old game of Mutt and Jeff (good cop and bad cop),
with their persecuted victims, whether in Palestine, Sudan or Iran.

Exposing the Zionist Hidden Hand Ruling Britain and the United States

Exposing the Zionist Hidden Hand
That Rules Britain and the United States
By Christopher Bollyn
For all practical purposes, the United States and Britain are
Zionist-occupied nations. Because the American and British people are
generally ignorant of what Zionism is, the meaning of this statement is not
widely understood or appreciated.
The lack of understanding by the public, however, doesn't change the
fact that these once great nations have become Zionist-controlled states. The
evidence is clearly seen in the self-destructive foreign policies these
nations have pursued for the past 40 years or so.
The Anglo-American "leadership" positions in the illegal invasion and
occupation of Iraq and their support of the costly Zionist fraud known as the
"War on Terror" is further proof that Zionists control these nations as if
any were needed.

Bush hails Israelis as ‘chosen people’ but ignores Palestinians on ‘catastrophe’ day
By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
Friday, 16 May 2008
President George Bush lavished anniversary praise on Israel yesterday, as Palestinians
commemorated the "Nakba" or "catastrophe" when 700,000 were forced from or fled their homes 60
years ago.
In a special address to the Israeli Knesset, Mr Bush declared that the US was proud to be the
"closest ally and best friend in the world" of a nation that was a "homeland for the chosen
people" and had "worked tirelessly for peace and... fought valiantly for freedom."
And in a speech that linked together Hamas, Hizbollah and al-Qa'ida, the President likened
those – including "good and decent" people – who urged negotiations with "terrorists and
radicals", with supporters of appeasing the Nazis before the Second World War.
On Iran, Mr Bush said that permitting "the world's leading sponsor of terror" to possess "the
world's deadliest weapon" would be "an unforgiveable betrayal of future generations".
Mr Bush's speech was notable for only one reference to Palestinian aspirations for a state. He
did not allude to the current negotiations between the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, and
the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, on the outlines of two-state solution that he himself
helped to kick-start at the Annapolis conference last year.

Dutch support for Israel eroding
By Michel Hoebink
13-05-2008
The Netherlands has always headed the list of European countries that support Israel. Since
1982, however, public opinion has grown ambivalent. The Dutch still admire Israel as a nation,
but they frown on its policies toward the Palestinians.
Israel and the NetherlandsPerhaps the Dutch have a guilty conscience. During World War Two, the
Nazis deported about 100,000 Dutch Jews, meeting little resistance from the non-Jewish
population. This may be one reason why the Netherlands has always had more sympathy for Israel
than most other European countries.
During and after the 1967 Six Day War, Dutch support for Israel was almost unanimous. Secondary
school pupils sang the battle songs of the Israeli army and many Dutch cars sported bumper
stickers that read 'We support Israel'.
David and Goliath
Dutch Christians upheld the concept of Israel as the 'Holy Land'. The more progressive, secular
Dutch population saw Israel as a small, enlightened nation that brought European ideals of
socialism and democracy to a 'backwards' Middle East. Hundreds of idealistic Dutch youths
traveled to Israel to work on the collective farms, the Kibbutzim.
