Benghazi Consulate hit by battalion level firepower, defended by small-town SWAT team

Benghazi hit by battalion level firepower, defended by small-town SWAT team

I looked up what a US force of 39 men normally has - it's called a platoon. But the heavier weapons are only at the battalion level, about 500-odd soldiers. Benghazi was hit by 50-200 special forces grade soldiers with 14.5 mm (=50 cal) machine guns on trucks, mortars, and RPG anti-tank rockets, and somehow quickly breached a gate strong enough to stop a truck. Against this were 3 civilian security agents with M4 carbines and sidearms. 


5 were requested, but turned down by Lamb who supposedly did not ask anyone higher up, certainly not Hillary or Obama, though I suspect it did go as high as Obama who was told by somebody to keep it at 3.

Hit by a force comparable to a US platoon of 39 men
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090218013220AAbcG0d
can tell you the TYPICAL current composition of a U.S. Army Light Infantry Rifle Platoon:

Platoon Headquarters consisting of:
Platoon Leader: Second Lieutenant
Platoon Sergeant: Sergeant First Class
Radiotelephone Operater (RTO): Private First Class (PFC) or Specialist

3 Rifle Squads each consisting of:
Squad Leader: Staff Sergeant
2 Team Leaders: Sergeants
2 M249 5.56mm light Machine gun (SAW) Gunners: Specialists
2 M203 Grenadiers: PFCs or Specialists
2 Riflemen: Privates (E-2) or Privates First Class

1 Weapons Squad consisting of:
Squad Leader: Staff Sergeant
2 M240B 7.62mm Machine Gunners: PFCs or Specialists
2 Assistant Machine Gunners (AGs): Specialists or PFCs
2 AMMO Handlers (ABs): Privates (E-2) or PFCs
2 Antiarmor Specialists (Javelin Guners): Specialists

Total Authorized Strength: 39
Authorized Weapon Systems:
2 M240B 7.62 Machine Guns
2 Javelins (equiv to RPG)
6 M249 5.56 Squad Automatic Weapons (SAWs)
6 M203 Grenade Launchers (attached to M4s)
31 M4 5.56 Carbines semi-automatic assault rifle
Gun trucks with 14.55 mm anti-aircraft gun comparable to Humvee with TOW or 50 cal turret, assigned at the battalion level.
Mortars assigned at battalion level

http://orbat.com/site/toe/toe/usa/lightinfantrytoe.html
The light infantry batallion has a personnel strength of 567 officers and men. They are in three companies and a HQ with weapons units.
The equipment allocations for the battalion are:
Grenade Launcher, 40mm, M203 65
* Machine Gun, Cal 50, Flex 15
Machine Gun, Grenade 40MM, MK-19 14
Machine Gun, 5.56 MM M249 72
* Mortar, 60 MM 6
* Mortar, 81 MM, M252 6
AntiTank Set, Command Launch Unit 18
* Truck, Util, TOW Carrier, ARMD 20


The force that hit Benghazi was comparable to the Taliban / Al Queda forces that hit

Battle of Wanat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

one of the bloodiest battles in the Afghanistan war in which a force of 75 US and Afghan troops beat back 200-500 Al Queda and Taliban fighters, and the Battle of Kamdesh 2009 battle 20 miles from Wanat, the bloodiest battle for US forces since the Battle of Wanat. Assault by 300 Taliban resulted in eight Americans killed and 22 wounded, and prompt withdrawal from nearly destroyed base.

As this attack force was rarely used by the Taliban, it is entirely possible that the same people were transported to Libya for this operation.

Muslim Brotherhood in America, Part 1: The Threat Doctrine of Shariah & the Muslim Brotherhood



Find out more at http://muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com

The first section of this briefing explains what shariah is according to the authorities and institutions of Islam and as promoted most aggressively by an organization called the Muslim Brotherhood.

Muslim Brotherhood in America, Part 2: 'Civilization Jihad' in America




Muslim Brotherhood in America, Part 3: Influence Operations Against Conservatives & the GOP



With this grounding in the nature of shariah, the goals and activities of the Muslim Brotherhood to impose it worldwide and an introduction to the latter's civilization jihad against the United States, let's take a closer look at one of the Ikhwan's most successful influence operations: its penetration and manipulation of the Republican Party and the conservative movement in America

The Fort Hood Shootings Have Al Qeda Written All Over It 11/13/2009

The Fort Hood Shootings Have Al Qeda Written All Over It 11/13/2009
This was originally posted on Asian Week in 2009 about a week after the shootings, and pretty much nailed it on the head, as did Pamela Geller, even though Hasan's entire extended family had a series of sob stories that he was victim of discrimination and couldn't hurt a fly, and the usual pro-Palestine crowd insisted he was either unstable or suffering from PTSD.
Amazingly even in 2011, the Obama adminstration, DOD, FBI and Department of Justice has still not acknowledged any terrorist intent, nor that radicalized religion, particularly Islamism had any part of the motive. Meanwhile, it was up to the Senate to declare it the worst act of terrorism since 9/11. Anwar al-Awlaki was never charged in relation to the incident, but was targeted for elimination (as was bin Laden), it is believed, largely because of a series of attacks inspired or directed by him since Fort Hood, and it is now believed that Awlaki was a key operative in the 9/11 attacks. 
His father has since released statements that he fully supports his son's "mission" against the United States which indicates he was most likely radicalized from birth. It as also come to my attention that Hasan is only one of a series of terrorists of Palestinean descent on American soil starting with Sirhan Sirhan who initially confessed to shooting Robert F. Kennedy because he approved selling arms to Israel and he was a Palestinean Arab, but now his lawyers are promoting an unproven conspiracy theory that he was hypnotized by the CIA and that he has no memory. The 1997 Empire State Building shootingwas also committed by a disgruntled Palestinean, and his daughter eventually confirmed that it was only a cover story that it was not motivated by punishment for supporting Israel. Further in the past year, Naser Jason Abdo yet another Palestinean who went on national news opposing deployment was also arrested for plotting another attack on Fort Hood troops.
 
 Original Version Nov 13, 2009
"Nidal has killed soldiers who were about to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in order to kill Muslims" Anwar al-Awlaki "Nidal Hasan Did The Right Thing"
"
They were troops who were going to Afghanistan and Iraq to kill Muslims. I honestly have no pity for them." Duane Reasoner, mentored by Nidal Malik Hasan [The First Post (UK) http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/55822,news-comment,news-politics,no-pity-for-fort-hood-dead-says-killer-nidal-malik-hasan-young-friend No pity for Fort Hood dead, says killer’s friend by Jack Bremer NOVEMBER 10, 2009 Interview by Gavin Lee of the BBC]
When the first reports came out of a terrible shooting at Fort Hood, there was no hints of who might have committed such an act. Then a television station reported that a woman called her parents saying “we’ve been attacked by terrorists” and she heard the shooter cry “Allah Akbar”, which has become known in America as the signature war cry of the 9/11 hijackers. When they finally announced the name of Nidal Malik Hasan, a lot of people instantly knew that it could  explain a lot of things. If you'd believe his family who lives "near Jersalem", he's a nice all-American boy who wouldn't harm anybody and never said anything radical or bad about America that was picked on for being a Muslim who was a psychiatrist deeply affected by horror stories of returning veterans.
Clearly the government was concerned about Muslim connections when Obama to asked America not to  “jump to conclusions”. Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano vowed to stamp out the imminent threat of  Islamaphobia, while General George Casey bravely stated “as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse”. It’s bad enough FBI officials still state the “motivation has not been determined” but the booby prize has to go to Max Fisher who wrote on the Atlantic “Why Home-Grown Islamic Terrorism Isn't A Threat”.
There’s no need to immediately expel or investigate all Muslims in the military, but what’s with all the op ed pieces that point the blame on Post Traumatic Stress disorder while either leaving out or condemning any mention of Islamic terrorism? We don’t need to get rid of all Muslims, just the ones that think they are on a mission to kill people. The whole problem with the Japanese internment of WWII is that it didn’t stop any real bad guys like the embassy officer who flew around Pearl Harbor taking pictures. Surely Virginia Tech’s Seung-Hui Cho, Oklahoma City bombers  Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and anti-abortion activist  Scott Roeder acted didn’t need a Quran, but that hardly proves this wasn't terrorism, or wasn't motivated by radical religiouis beliefs.
If we had proof or reasonable evidence that Hasan was directed or influenced by an affiliate of Al-Qeda to kill soldiers justified by radical Islamic beliefs, then we could call it an act of Islamic Terrorism. We don't need a smoking gun CC of the actual order when “Blind” Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman issued a fatwah, but it was his followers who first bombed the World Trade Towers based on his Rahman's instructions and religious justifications. The fact that he had advocated an act which had influenced his followers was good enough to justify a life term and making him the one responsible for the attacks. [http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YTAyODUwMWIxZGYwMDA3Yzk2NWU0ZTlhY2I2NDU3ZmQ=January 7, 2003 Yemeni Sheikh of Hate Cultivating jihad by Josh Devon] Now if we know that Hasan had been convinced by his spiritual leader to put god first, and that god wanted all good Muslims to kill soldiers, how is that any different?
Though Hasan is a native born American, both of Hasan’s  parents are from the same Palestine (as in PLO which revolutionized modern terrorism) which has served as poster child to those with grievances against Israel. His mother was traumatized by her experience in the 1967 Six-Day war as Israel  captured the ”occupied territories” when she was 15. Hasan’s family still owns land “near Jerusalem” in Ramallah, which is in the occupied West Bank, and the capital of the Palestinian National Authority.  While his family states that his parents opposed Hasan's joining the Army, one wonders if Mom and Dad might have set up little Nidal as a Manchurian Candidate planted in the Army.
 
Hasan wasn’t just any muslim, he was considered a devout radical even by friends in his own mosque and fellow muslim soldiers. His favorite flavor of Islam was that of his personal spirtual mentor  Anwar al-Awlaki, who is widely considered to be the leading English language clearance house for iihadist publications from al Queda, and author/translator of the virtual “lone wolf jihadist bible”.  Unlike most of Awlaki’s internet fans, Hasan was an in-person follower at one of Awlawki’s mosques, where the FBI also notes that 3 of the 9/11 hijackers had “developed close relations” and may have had “closed door meetings” with the imam. By continuing to seek out Awlawki in Yemen, Hasan stumbled over a national security trip wire because Awlakwki was on FBI terrorism radar even before 9/11, and he was still deemed worth gathering signals on by US intelligence agencies. The FBI first conducted a counterterrorism inquiry after he was visited by Ziyad Khaleel who helped buy bin Laden’s satellite phone. The FBI also belives Awlawki has contacts with the Holy Land Foundation and others raising money for Hamas, but there was not enough evidence for criminal charges.
Hasan’s 10-20 e-mails worth of “spiritual guidance” starting in December 2008 were handed over to a joint FBI / Defence Department terrorism task force. But investigators promptly hit the snooze button when they didn’t see anything that wouldn’t be at home in a research paper about “Islamic Jihad in the US Army”. [“Imam From Va. Mosque Now Thought to Have Aided Al-Qaeda” By Susan Schmidt Washington Post February 27, 2008 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/26/AR2008022603267_pf.htmlOne source told the London Telegraph that they decided to keep in in place and monitor him. It was hoped that his contact with Awlawki would lead them to a “big fish”, though they could have known Awlawki was already a pretty big fish. [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6532904/Fort-Hood-massacre-Gunman-linked-to-al-Qaeda-as-he-awakes-from-coma.html
London Telegraph Fort Hood massacre: Gunman linked to al-Qaeda as he awakes from coma Nick Allen Nov 9, 2009]

The National Security Agency couldn’t find anything over Bin Laden’s satellite phone either until they figured out the code phrases for terrorist acts.[PBS: Nova The Spy Factory] But there are no hidden messages when Awlawki has called for the faithful in clear text  to serve Allah by killing US soldiers. In case there can be any question if he was just kidding, Awlawki’s website announced that Hasan was “a hero” and declared “The American Muslims who condemned his actions have committed treason”. It isn’t hard to guess what kind of spiritual guidance went into the powerpoint slide that warned of “adverse events” if Muslim soldiers were called upon to fight in Afghanistan. Duane Reasoner who had accepted Hasan as his spiritual mentor eerily echoes Awlawki's statements. Whether it was from Hasan or reading, the notion "They were troops who were going to Afghanistan and Iraq to kill Muslims" could only have come directly from the radical Imam. 
And where is Awlawki now? His website has gone dark, and authorities have been searching for Awlawki who has disappeared for eight months after having been released from prison. The government’s counterterrorism sweeps have killed many al Qaeda fugitives, and detained hundreds of suspects, possibly provoking the Yemen US Embassy bombing in 2008. Awlawki only popped up in Shabwa province which is part of the “triangle of evil” so named because it has become a known refuge for extremists, and recruiting al Queda members fleeing other nations. The Washington post learned that Awlawki confirmed that he blessed the killing of soldiers who were about to be shipped off to combat anyways. But since he "neither ordered nor pressured Maj. Nidal M. Hasan to harm Americans", and insists that it was actually Hasan's idea that Islam demanded shooting soldiers, we still can't tie anything to al Queda.
The FBI probably didn't notice that Hasan’s favorite imam was also a visiting professor at Yemen’s Iman University.  Sure, they've claimed to have cured 20 cases of AIDS completely, this Institute of Terrorist Technology is runs the ROTC version of the training camps that were shut down in Afgahnistan.  Among its notable alumni are people thought to be responsible for killing three American missionaries, the second in charge of the Yemeni Socialist Party, and  John “Jihad” Walker Lindh who is prison for being picked up as part of the Taliban army.
The man who founded and leads this fine institution of higher armed resistance in 1995 is none other than Awlawki’s former boss,  the red-bearded Sheikh Abdul Majeed al-Zindani. This fellow has managed to get himself on the  al Queda / terrorist / banned lists of no less than the US Treasury Department, United Nations and the United Kindom. Zindani is still wanted for questioning by the FBI over the attack on USS Cole in Yemen which killed 17 and injured 39. In the good old days when the United States backed the Mujahdeen against the Soviets, Zindani was a recruiter for fighters who was reputed to have fought alongside and was one of Bin Laden’s most trusted “spiritual advisors”.  He later helped raise funds and recruit volunteers for the Bin Laden organization.
While Kevin Bacon might be only six degrees away from everybody,  Hasan was only two connections away from Bin Laden through Awlawki and Zindani. Zindani is now a prominent businessman and leader of the most radical wing of the Islamic reform party. Back in the early 2000s Zindani ran a Charitable Society for Social Welfare (CSSW) which the FBI called  “front organization to funnel money to terrorists” where Awlawki served under him as Vice President. That outfit also had ties to the Islamic Cultural Institute in Milan, Italy which is a center for al-Qaeda in Europe.[ [Burr and Collins, 2006, pp. 243; Washington Post, 2/27/2008] Zindani’s office is now the contact for the Ansar al-Sunna group that took credit for the explosion at an American base in Mosul, Iraq that killed 22. [http://www.worldpress.org/Mideast/2089.cfm Yemen: Al Qaeda in Broad Daylight Jane Novak Worldpress.org May 28, 2005] Military commander Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar is Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh’s half-brother who recruited mujaheddin fighters for Bin Laden who established establish training camps in Yemen [World Press]. The US Justice Department believes Zindani suggested using charities in Pakistan to bin Laden as a front for terrorists. [Wall Street Journal, 4/2/2004]  In the Yemen Post, Zindani largely denies all of the accusations made against him, adding “America has proved to the world that it is the most oppressive nation in history. It is the country which killed two million and displaced five million in Iraq by a lie it spread to the world. In all its accusations to its enemies it fabricates  lies and depends on its arrogance of power”. [http://www.yemenpost.net/27/InvestigationAndInterview/20081.htm] Given Zindani's position as the leading radical Islamist in Yemen and his recent ties to Alwaki, it can only be assumed that any investigation of Awlawki must also look into Zindani whether or not they lead to Bin Laden himself.
Only a terminal case of Political Correctness can explain why nobody (that can't immediately be dismissed as a right wing kook) from President Obama down can utter the obvious. Fox news contributor Walid Phares was quick to call it a "terrorist act", and possibly the "largest terror attack on America since 9/11. Phares believes that the Obama admininstration can't use the t-word because of its rebranding of the "global war on terror" to the "Overseas Contingency Operation".
 
Once I heard the name of the Virginia Tech shooter, I instantly knew he was a Korean whose parents worked too many hours in a dry cleaning store who were dissapointed he didn't get into Princeton. NASA could have recognized and announced  in a minute that the "foam strike" people were right about the Space Shuttle. Nobody wants to even speculate about who might have sexually assaulted and stabbed Robert Eric Wone in DC in a house full of the people and devices that could have done the job. Yes, our initial hunches can be wrong, but it doesn't mean they are wrong, and we can't get to the truth spending all our resources on everything but the obvious. We have a complete picture linking Hasan to known al Qeda terrorists who all show us their party membership cards and send telegraph a declaration of war to Obama. Few have seen the cartoon "Invader Zim" where a thinly disguised alien invader is liked by everybody except when he continually rants about wanting to destroy the planet. But he is cruelly harassed by a troublesome boy who is the only person crazy enough to realize Zim's true identity. That explains everything about how the US authorities dropped the ball with the Fort Hood shootings.  If McCain or GW Bush were in charge, the US would have sought and charged Awlaki and Zindani within hours. But at this rate our Commander in Chief is clearly in charge of an outfit determined NOT to connect any dots.

Does the Global Islamic Movement Represent Islam?

Does the radical left Asian American movement of the 60s or 70s represent all Asian Americans? This movement indeed may be representative enough to constitute something much more worrisome that Al Queda.

AP: Global Islamic movement may be more potent force for change than al-Qaida

by Denis D. Gray
The Associated Press

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- The chanting crowd at the radical Muslim protest in Indonesia stood out for its normalcy: smartly dressed businessmen, engineers, lawyers, smiling mothers, scampering children.
At a time when al-Qaida seems to be faltering, the recruitment of such an educated, somewhat mainstream following is raising fears that Hizbut Tahrir, an enigmatic global movement, could prove more effective at radicalizing the Islamic world than outright terrorist groups.
Read the complete story(Some news sites require registration)

Here's the first thing that shows up on web search of "Global Islamic Movement", not the most moderate thing I've seen. It calls for the same sort of "Islamic revolution" that controls Iran, and sought by the "democracy" protesters in the "Arab spring" which was such an "inspiration" to the Occupy  Wall Street movement. This fellow celebrates the rise of Islam in America, but should we be cheering with him?

http://imamreza.net/eng/imamreza.php?id=4555
The Global Islamic Movement
By: Umm Jaafar
Islam in the U.S.
Much was said and published about the fact that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the U.S. and Europe recently. There are more Muslims in the U.S. than in Kuwait, Qatar, and Libya. Islam has out placed Judaism as the number two religion in the U.S. After September 11, the U.S, Council of Masjids issued a statement noting that inquiry about Islam and the number of conversions to Islam has increased dramatcally. In addition, Muslim conscience, identity and activity has increased. All these things show that the U.S. is becoming a fertile ground for Islam in spite of all the opposition by Zionists and secularists. Although Muslims are scattered throughout the US, they are mostly concentrated in metropolitan areas such as Detroit, Chicago, Northern and Southern California, New York, Denver, the Washington Metropolitan area, Dallas and other areas.
Pattern of continuity and difference
Is what is happening in the U.S. and in the world in general unique? Or is it part of a pattern that repeats itself? Imam Khomeini’s (may Allah be pleased with him) view was always that something cannot be exported to a base where there is no reception. First, an internal community must take form then it must be watered, grow, take roots and can be nurtured.
We can compare the different stages in different parts of the world in which Islam is, to the different stages, times and places during the lives of the prophets and immaculate imams. By analyzing this pattern we can get a better understanding about what is happening.
Due to the fact that the immaculate leaders lived in different periods, there is both continuity and difference. Continuity refers to the fact that they all had the same goal; difference means that they had different challenges. There are many lessons to be learned about the historical challenges that a small community of believers face in trying to enforce certain values for themselves.
Each one in each society is to develop a different strategy for the same goal.
The lesson to be learned from the Ahl-ul-bait is to be continuous, yet fluid and mobile at the same time. This why their followers in the U.S., Indonesia, Russia, Bahrain, Kenya, China, Lebanon and other places will be successful. We are here to share our experiences although the particular focus in our different countries need not be the same. We are many and one at the same time.
The Global Islamic Movement
Islamic society has been developing from the era of the prophet up towards the time of the community of believers during the period of Imam Mahdi’s rule (may Allah hasten his appearance). ayat 35 of Sura Nur states that “Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth.”
His general light is for all of creation.
2) His specific light, which is the light of the knowledge of Allah, He exclusively gives to the believers.
The mission of the followers of the Ahl-ul-bait is a mission of light, not of darkness, destruction or death that is the job of the unbelievers.
The believers’ mission is to themselves shine with the light of Allah and enlighten others. Their mission is to generalize this exclusive light to all humankind until the ideal society of His Emminence the Imam of the Time (may Allah hasten his appearance) is achieved.
Another ayat in Sura Nur, #55 referring to the Imam of the Time (may Allah hasten his appearance) states that the oppressed will inherit the earth. “Allah hath promised such of you as believe and do good works that he will surely make them to succeed (the present rulers) in the earth even as He caused those who were before tem to succeed (others), and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after fear. The serve Me. They ascribe nothing as partner unto Me. Those who disbelieve henceforth, they are the miscreants.”
How can we get to that point? Geometry states that the closest way to get from one point to another is a straight line. In order to get from one state to another, from one society to another at least ten times a day in every salat, the daily ritual prayer, we beseech Allah, ehdina serat al mustakeem, ‘lead us to the straight path’.
This is the reason why I became Muslim, because I saw that Christianity was taking much longer to get to the Kingdom of God, the promised divine utopia. I became aware that Muslims were rushing towards it and clearly knew what the straight path was. I witnessed that their path was directly connected to the line of the prophets. What's more, the original unmodified Islam of the prophet Muhammad (P) is sustained today thanks to the sacrifices made by his grandson Imam Hussain (P) together with his sister Zainab (P) the (referred to as the sage of Bani Hashem) in upholding Islam.
The Islamic Revolution
Human life has a beginning and end. Did history begin with the government of the holy Prophet (P)? Will it end with the society of the Imam of the Time (may Allah hasten his appearance)? Life began during a period before the time of the prophet of Islam and ends after the time of the rulership of the Imam of the Time (may Allah hasten his appearance), after which comes the Day of Judgment.
With all of its successes and failures The Islamic revolution is in the middle between the government of the Prophet (P) and the time of Imam Zaman (A). The Islamic revolution is not an end in itself and the believers are not supposed to stay at this point. The purpose of the Islamic revolution is simply to operate as a relay station in order to strengthen the signals, which had become weak from the time of the government of the Prophet (P) and relay them so that we can inshaAllah get to the time of Imam Zaman (A).
There are many challenges to cope with. Other ayats in sura Nur which was revealed in Medina paint a picture and address the fact that there was adultery and prostitution during the time when the prophet existed. (refer toTafsir al Mizan) The fact that the prophet was there does not mean that he was successful in transforming everything and everyone into chaste and pure people.
This didn’t disqualify him from being the prophet, and Islam from being the truth. Society faces many challenges. Can we say that he was unsuccessful because adultery existed after 10 years of his being there? Can we conclude that Imam Ali (P) was not genuine because he was unsuccessful in establishing justice and enforcing Islamic ideas? The expectation was not that everything was perfectly practiced by everyone in these utopias.
The purpose of the Islamic revolution between the era of the prophet and the promised time of Imam Zaman (A) is to strengthen the signals which had become weak from the Prophet’s (P) time and relay them so that we can get to the promised community of believers.
These are five points in human life that form a straight line, form point to point.
1-The beginning,
2-Prophet’s time,
3-Islamic revolution,
4-Imam Zaman’s (A) time,
5- Day of Judgment
The mission of Islam, the Ahl-ul-bait and the believers, is to shine with the light of Allah and gather all the people that have taken the wrong turns and have gone out in the darkness of the lost paths and show them where the straight line, where the straight path of light is, that will take them to Allah.

Islamic Forum for Democracy Compares Fort Hood Hasan to RFK's Sirhan

http://newsbusters.org/people/nidal-malik-hasan

Matthews on Ft. Hood Suspect Warning Signal: 'That's Not a Crime to Call al Qaeda, Is It?'

MSNBC's Chris Matthews has said some things that would make your scratch your head - like getting a thrill up his leg from a speech given by Barack Obama. However, this one will really make you wonder what he was thinking.

On his Nov. 9 broadcast of "Hardball," in an interview with Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, Matthews compared the incident of Maj. Nidal M. Hasan at Ft. Hood to Sirhan Sirhan's 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

"You know, I have a hard time with this because people like Sirhan Sirhan, who is still serving time for killing Bobby Kennedy, didn't like what Bobby Kennedy had said on television," Matthews said. "Bobby Kennedy had made political statements saying we're going to sell arms, fighter planes directly to Israel, not under the table. We're going to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Those are the things that triggered his killing spree. He killed one person - Bobby Kennedy, horrifically. But did he become a different religious person because he committed the crime? And when did this happen?" [Audio: Part I here (925 KB), Part II here (1.18 MB)]

Movement to Free Sirhan Sirhan: The Real RFK Conspiracy?

[next rfk conspiracy]
keywords: jihad, terrorism, rfk, assasination, conspiracy theory, palestine, Israel

Sirhan Sirhan's lawyers are trying to prove that the "bullet was switched and he was brainwashed / hypnotized". Sounds like these are the same guys promoting anti-semitic 9-11 truth theories as yet another Arab terrorist cover story. Somebody is trying very hard  to hide the obvious conclusion that Sirhan Sirhan plainly stated and confessing he was a Palestinean Christian terrorist angry about Israel who was angry at Robert F Kennedy for approving the sale of F-4 Phantom fighters to Israel, with a lifetime of hatred to back it up.It is really not difficult to see (below) which people are promoting the "innocence" theory and where their loyalties lie as they are not shy to say who they are and who they think are the "real victims".

"They" also said Anwar al-Awlaki, Nidal "Fort Hood Shooter" Hasan, and the 19 "alleged" hijackers weren't terrorists either, and it's strictly a matter of science. Oh no, politics has nothing to do with their conclusion. When Ali Hassan Abu Kamal, a 69 year-old Palestinian teacher, opened fire on the observation deck of the Empire State Building  in 1997, they said it was his despondency over financial ruin, not the note saying he hated Israel. But ten years after the shooting, Abu Kamal's daughter revealed that she had lied, and her mother's account was a cover story fabricated by the Palestinian Authority as Abu Kamal sought revenge against the Americans, the British, and the French for supporting Israel.
 
Sirhan was actually the first big act of middle east / Palestinean terrorism in the name of "Freedom for Palestine" in the US long before 9/11 or Fort Hood. Makes you wonder what sort of people who go to such extremes to prove that Sirhan wasn't just a palestinean anti-Israel terrorist.

Geo-scientist Leuren Moret is a major promoter in the conspiracy media of the theory that JFK, RFK assasinations are linked to CIA programs at Lawrence Livermore where she worked. Moret is also a Fukushima alarmist who believes the Japan earthquake and tsunami of 2011 was an attack by the HAARP weapon.

I have two hunches that explain almost all conspiracy theories. One is that the conspiracy theories are part of a unified conspiracy convince you of the exact opposite of what obviously happened, and paint the villians as the "real victims". The other is that people who bless the Jews generally good people to be friends with. People who want to destroy the Jews are generally not good people to be friends with.

Mainstream:

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirhan Sirhan was a Christian Arab born in Jerusalem who strongly opposed Israel. In 1989, he told David Frost "My only connection with Robert Kennedy was his sole support of Israel and his deliberate attempt to send those 50 bombers to Israel to obviously do harm to the Palestinians". Some scholars believe that the assassination was one of the first major incidents of political violence stemming from the Arab Israeli conflict in the Middle East...Sirhan also testified that he had killed Kennedy "with 20 years of malice aforethought". He explained in an interview with David Frost in 1989 that this referred to the time since the creation of the State of Israel.[15]

  • Mark Chapman is one of the few assassins (along with would-be assassins Hinckley and Giuseppe Zangara) who the words "lone nut" accurately describe. I do believe that Lee Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, Leon Czolgosz, and James Ray all acted alone, but none of them were nuts. They just believed in their ideals passionately enough that they were willing to kill for them. For Oswald, it was Communism. For Sirhan Sirhan, it was the Palestinians. For Czolgosz, it was anarchy. For Ray, it was money (if that counts as an ideal). Okay, I do grant the possibility that Sirhan Sirhan was insane as well as politically motivated.

Sirhan Sirhan took the witness stand in his own “defense” during his original trial and when prompted told the jury that he had killed Kennedy “with 20 years of malice aforethought.” Not only did he admit to the crime on the witness stand in the prosecution of himself, but he also proved his own premeditation.

Kennedy, launches new campaign for freedom The first Palestinian terrorist attack on US soil was the assassination of Robert Kennedy. The killer, Sirhan Sirhan, is seeking freedom based on some trumped-up fiction. Well, why not? The Obama adminstration has a soft spot for poor wittle terrorists -- perhaps Holder will take up Sirhan's cause.  They have launched a fresh appeal on behalf of Sirhan, 67, claiming in court for the first time that prosecutors fabricated ballistics evidence against him at trial, switching a bullet that was taken from the dead senator's neck for one that they claimed matched the defendant's gun. Lawyers also seek a re-examination of claims that Sirhan was framed by shadowy agents - indirectly suggested as being the CIA - who they say "hypno-programmed" him into taking part in the shooting to divert attention from their own fatal gunfire At trial in 1969, Sirhan - a Palestinian Christian refugee - was asked by his defence counsel, Grant Cooper, whether he had shot Senator Kennedy. "Yes sir," he replied, echoing admissions made in police custody directly after the incident."Do you doubt you shot him?" Mr Cooper demanded. "No sir, I don't," Sirhan responded, launching into a diatribe about US policy in the Middle East and later stating that he resented Senator Kennedy's support for Israel. "RFK must die - RFK must be killed," he wrote in a notebook prior to the shooting. But despite multiple confessions, insists Dr Pepper, Sirhan did not shoot Senator Kennedy

    An editorial in The Jewish Week is charging that the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy by Sirhan Sirhan was the beginning of Palestinian terrorism for Americans.The report by Associate Editor Jonathan Mark, prompted by the 40th anniversary of the assassination this month, decries the absence of media publicity over the fact that Sirhan was a "West Bank immigrant" who wanted "fair play" for Palestinians and was infuriated over Kennedy's cozying up to the Jewish community during the election campaign campaign. Sirhan might have been the only gunman who shot Kennedy, but he was not a 'lone gunman.' He was the first Arab terrorist on American soil but hardly the last," Mark said.

  • SIRHAN WAS AN 'UNAFFILIATED' TERRORIST [worth considering the "unaffiliated']
    Danielpipes.org ^ (pro-Israel)| May 19, 2006 | Mel Ayton
    The controversy surrounding the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy has once again been resurrected with the publication of Peter Evans’s book ‘Nemesis’ in which the author accuses Aristotle Onassis of having ‘funded’ the assassination through an official of the PLO.
    For nearly 40 years conspiracy advocates have built their arguments not only around the controversies surrounding the ballistics evidence and the scene of the crime but the oft-repeated cry that the assassin had no real motive for his act. Yet there is a mountain of evidence to prove the contrary.
    From the time he was a child Sirhan had been indoctrinated in ideologies that are at the center of his murderous act. Sirhan’s hatred had its roots in the milieu in which he was raised and the education he received. Later, as a young adult, Sirhan sought meaning to his increasingly hopeless life by embracing anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism and Palestinian nationalism. The propaganda used by Palestinians had no less an effect on the younger generations of children from the 1940s to the present day. From an early age Sirhan had been taught by educators, family members and friends that the Jews were ‘treacherous’, ‘an evil enemy’ and it was his ‘duty’ to rid Jews from Palestine. Sirhan’s generation was taught to hate, despise and fear Jews, to believe that it was not only right for every self-respecting Arab to fight the Jewish state and that it was just and desirable to destroy it. Sirhan’s irrational hatred and anger towards the Jews did not originate with any mental illness he may have suffered. In fact his attitude was no different from that of the majority of Palestinians and the rest of the Arab peoples. His ideas were entirely rational within the norms of the Arab world Arab Jordanian school textbooks continued to refer to Israel as ‘foreign occupied Palestine’. The texts called for Israel’s destruction and made reference to the obligation Palestinians had to defend Islamic land. In the textbooks Jews were portrayed as thieves, occupiers and ‘enemies of the prophets’, ‘cunning’, ‘deceitful’, ‘wild animals’, ‘locusts’ and ‘treacherous’. ..Weidner quoted Sirhan as saying, “They (the Jews) have stolen my country. They have no right to be there. It belongs to Jordan and they have taken it.” ....John Weidner said, “I think he did it because he thought he was doing something for his country….(Sirhan) told me that when he was a child, he saw members of his family killed by Jews and he had to flee Jordan when he was a child. He was not a citizen and didn’t like the United States.” ...Sirhan knew that his crime ‘propagandised’ a political or ideological point of view – ‘a propaganda of the deed’ as the 1969 National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, described it . Sirhan attempted to advance his cause through publicity and there was a cause and effect relationship to his crime. In effect, Sirhan was an ‘unaffiliated terrorist’ and the motive for his act was established on the night he murdered Robert Kennedy when he cried out, ‘I did it for my country’.
  • Free Republic Jerusalem Post (conservative pro-Israel) Lenny Ben David on RFK - supporter of Israel murdered by Arab terrorist This Kennedy was our friend
    LENNY BEN-DAVID , THE JERUSALEM POST Jun. 4, 2008 RFK was a strong supporter of Israel, and that support was genuine, deep, and heart-felt. And it cost him his life.
    His oldest daughter, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, told me on his 30th yahrzeit, "He was killed by an Arab terrorist [Sirhan Sirhan] because of his support for Israel." Sirhan's motives - which were expressed in his diary and trial - were fueled by his anger over Israel's victory exactly one year earlier.

http://www.moldea.com/Seven-8.html the climax of the interview began as I asked Sirhan, yet again, whether he had confederates.

"Were you a participant in a conspiracy?" I asked.

Sirhan replied, "Do you think I would conceal anything about someone else's involvement and face the gas chamber in the most literal sense? I have no knowledge of a conspiracy."

"But, yes or no, were you part of a conspiracy, Sirhan?"

"I wish there had been a conspiracy. It would have unraveled before now."

"Then, why do you even talk about the possibility of being mind-controlled?"

"My defense attorneys developed the idea of The Manchurian Candidate theory."

"Then, once again, why don't you just accept responsibility for this crime?"

"If I was to accept responsibility for this crime, it would be a hell of a burden to live with--having taken a human life without knowing it."

"Then you are saying that you are willing to take responsibility, but you have no memory of committing the crime?"

"It's not in my mind, but I'm not denying it. I must have been there, but I can't reconstruct it mentally.

I suddenly realized that Sirhan had been lying to me and everyone else all along.... I finally began to understand Sirhan's entire strategy: As long as people, like me, continued to put forth supposed new evidence, he still had a chance to experience freedom. And, more than any other person in recent years, I had been keeping this case alive with all of my supposed new revelations about alleged extra bullets and the possibility that at least two guns that had been fired at the crime scene. As I sat there, I became furious with myself for nearly being hoodwinked by Sirhan and the circumstances of this entire case.



  • The first group to call for freedom for Sirhan was... Black September/PLO palestinean terrorist organization, along with other palestinean terrorists. They wanted to free Sirhan Sirhan: http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=15420 On March 1, 1973, a gang of eight operatives of the Black September Organization stormed a party at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum. The Black September gang demanded the release of Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Robert Kennedy; the release of a Black September leader held in Jordan; and the release of several members of the Baader-Meinhof gang held in Germany.  That evening the Black September operatives marched American ambassador Noel, Moore and Eid to the embassy basement and brutally murdered them.From beginning to end the operation leading to the assassination of Noel and Moore was an Arafat/Fatah operation.

  • http://reformjudaismmag.net/02fall/opinion.shtml Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz is the author of numerous books, most recently Why Terrorism Works: Understanding the Threat, Responding to the Challenge (Yale University Press, September 2002). The incontrovertible evidence of Arafat's complicity in murder goes back to 1973, when Palestinian terrorists invaded a diplomatic reception at the Saudi Arabian embassy at Khartoum, Sudan and kidnapped two American diplomats and a Belgian diplomat. The U.S. National Security Agency intercepted a communication between Yasser Arafat in Beirut and Khalil al-Wazir in the Khartoum office of al-Fatah. According to James Welch, an American security agent who over- heard the intercept, Arafat was directly involved in the operation, which was code-named Nahr al-Bard, Cold River. The U.S. government has hard evidence that when the Americans refused the demands of the Palestinian terrorists--to free Sirhan Sirhan, the murderer of Robert Kennedy--Yasser Arafat personally ordered the murder of the three diplomats, one of whom was then the highest ranking African-American in the foreign service. The diplomats were taken to the basement of the embassy and tortured to death so brutally that "authorities couldn't tell which was black and which was white." Arafat took credit for these murders during a private dinner with Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu two months later.

    Artichoke was also a real project, but its objective was to information from prisoners, not hypnotize people into shooters.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_ARTICHOKE
    Project ARTICHOKE (also referred to as Operation ARTICHOKE) was a CIA project that researched interrogation methods and arose from Project BLUEBIRD on August 20, 1951, run by the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence.[1] A memorandum by Richard Helms to CIA director Allen Welsh Dulles indicated Artichoke became Project MKULTRA on April 13, 1953.[2]
    The project studied hypnosis, forced morphine addiction (and subsequent forced withdrawal), and the use of other chemicals, among other methods, to produce amnesia and other vulnerable states in subjects.
    ARTICHOKE was an offensive program of mind control that gathered information together with the intelligence divisions of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and FBI. In addition, the scope of the project was outlined in a memo dated January 1952 that stated, "Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature, such as self-preservation?"[3][4][5][6][7]

    wtcdemolition.com Israel killed JFK,says Vanunu PTI | July 26, 2004 | 14:27 ISTIn a startling accusation, nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu has alleged that Jerusalem was behind the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy, who was exerting pressure on the then Israeli head of state to shed light on the Dimona nuclear plant.  In defiance of a ban on talking to the media and meeting with foreigners, Vanunu is said to have made the accusation in an interview to London-based Al-Hayat newspaper. As per the interview published in newspaper's Arabic supplement Al-Wassat yesterday, Vanunu said according to "near-certain indications", Kennedy was assassinated due to "pressure he exerted on then head of government, David Ben-Gurion, to shed light on Dimona's nuclear reactor".

    Following are excerpts from an interview with Syrian economist Muhammad Sharif Mazloum, which aired on Al-Kawthar TV on October 10, 2008. [...]
    In the 1960s, President John Kennedy decided to establish governmental banks to protect the dollar, in which the gold that was pouring into America would be deposited. What became of Kennedy? He was killed by the Zionist lobby. This is a fact that nobody is aware of – but a fact it is. That was the reason Kennedy was killed.

    Afrocuaweb The Mossad Role in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy
    by Michael Collins Piper (anti-zionist conspiracy activist)


    many of Israel’s friends in America have reacted quite hysterically to my contention that the Mossad played a role in the assassination of America’s president.

    In addition, although there are many who believe that the CIA had a hand in the JFK assassination, quite a few of those same people are fearful of mentioning the likelihood of a Mossad role. Yet, as journalist Andrew Cockburn has pointed out:

    "There has been since almost the earliest days of the Israeli state and the earliest days of the CIA a secret bond, basically by which Israeli intelligence did jobs for the CIA and for the rest of American intelligence. You can’t understand what’s been going on with American covert operations and the Israeli covert operations until you understand this secret arrangement.

    Final Judgment documents that in 1963 JFK was embroiled in a bitter secret conflict with Israeli leader David Ben-Gurion over Israel’s drive to build the atomic bomb; that Ben-Gurion resigned in disgust, saying that because of JFK’s policies, Israel’s "existence [was] in danger." Then upon JFK’s assassination, U.S. policy toward Israel began an immediate 180-degree turnaround.




    When Robert Kennedy was Attorney General, he went after the unions' corruption of pension funds, the mafia, and the drug trade. All of this eventually involves Zionists, so Bobby needed to be removed, but you just don't kill the President's brother, you first kill the President.

    Israel, the Golden Triangle and the Kennedy Assassination by (Dec. 2003, 2nd edition)

    • book reveals how Israel exploited the Western powers’ long history of opium trafficking as a means of toppling the young American president. The main factions in the conspiracy were Zionist instigators, the American Mafia (headed by Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky and his lieutenant, Santo Trafficante), French-Corsican crime syndicates in Marseilles, France and Southeast Asia, and the US military.
    conclusion posted on radioislam: A third outcome of President Kennedy’s assassination was the Six Day War, a watershed event that transformed Israel from a small nation into a colonial empire. Although Israel became a nation in 1948, it expanded dramatically after the Six Day War. Israel took from the Arabs—through military force—the Old City of Jerusalem, the Sinai and the Gaza Strip, the Jordanian territory west of the Jordan River known as the West Bank, and the Golan Heights, on the Israeli-Syrian border.5 In addition to acquiring new land, Israel gained control of an additional 900,000 Arabs who became the discontented subjects of the new Israeli empire. Since 1967, the number of Arabs under Israel’s military control has grown to over 1.75 million.6Amnesty International has documented Israel’s inhumane treatment of its Palestinian subjects citing arbitrary arrests, torturing detainees, destroying or sealing the homes of Arab suspects and their relatives, confiscating land, destroying crops, and diverting precious water from thirsty Palestinians in the desert to fill the swimming pools and water the lawns of Israeli settlers.7
