Evidence is emerging that clearly indicates Abdulmutallab was more
than just a Nigerian extremist carrying out his anger through an
ill-conceived plot to ignite a powdery explosive substance on-board a
flight to the United States. Eyewitness testimony pointing to a man helping the accused terrorist board without a passport, along with an unusual cameraman documenting the attempted attack
on board the plane raise more than red flags– they point towards
an intelligence operation, run as a drill, meant to conjure up public
support for a number of fronts in the continuing ‘War on
Terror.’

CNN interviewed key flight witnesses during their Dec. 28 program
who raised these very points, making clear that the full story is still
emerging and that wider-connections to intelligence handlers is evident.

THE SHARP-DRESSED MAN

Kurt Haskell and his wife, who were witnesses on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253 saw Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab receiving assistance from a well-dressed, wealthy-looking Indian man
at the boarding gate in Amsterdam. Haskell told CNN that the accused
bomber appeared strikingly ‘poor’ next to the well-dressed
man. According to Haskell, that man did the talking for him, explaining
to the flight personnel at the gate that Abdulmutallab needed to board
without a passport, claiming that he was a Sudanese refugee. Haskell
told CNN:

“Laurie and I were sitting near the boarding
gate, sitting on the floor, there weren’t any seats to sit in.
And I saw two men. They caught my eye because they seemed to
be an odd pair. One was what I would describe as a poor-looking black
teenager around 16 or 17, and the other man, age 50-ish, wealthy
looking Indian man. And I was just wondering why they were
together– kinda strange. And I watched them approach
what I would call the ticket agent, the final person that checks your
boarding pass before you get on the plane. And I could hear the entire
conversation. The only person that spoke was the Indian man,
and what he said was: ‘This man needs to board the plane, but he
doesn’t have a passport.’ And the ticket agent responded,
‘Well, if he doesn’t have a passport, he can’t get on
the plane.’ To which the Indian man responded back,
‘He’s from Sudan. We do this all the time.’ And the
ticket agent said, ‘Well, then you’ll have to go and talk
to my manager.’ And she directed them down a hallway.
And that was the last time I saw the Indian man, and the black man I
didn’t see again until he tried to blow up our plane hours
later.”

The gate attendee referred the odd-couple to the manager. Haskell
said that was the last he saw of the wealthy man, but later recognized
Abdulmutallab after the incident occurred on the plane. That’s
when he says he put two and two together about the unusual connection.

His wife, Laurie, said she found it ‘odd’ that
authorities have not yet followed up on their witness account, as they
were the only ones known to have witnessed Abdulmutallab with the
‘Indian’ man prior to boarding the flight.

THE CAMERAMAN

If he had help getting on the flight with no passport after having been reported to U.S. authorities by his own father,
what is the true explanation for the man seen filming the entire
flight? Another witness on board the flight, Richelle Keepman, said she
noticed the mysterious cameraman
at the beginning of the flight, believing the man might have been
simply excited about a first flight, or etc. Later when the
‘bombing’ incident took place, she says the cameraman was the only one standing up, and intently filming the entire incident.

ADDULMUTALLAB AND THE WIDER WAR ON TERROR

Put this together with new focus on Yemen ‘in the fight against Al Qaeda’, including calls from Sen. Lieberman to pre-emptively attack,
the media’s immediate hype of the event, and the ready-made Body
Scanners and other ‘enhanced’ Airport security, it is clear
that this is a contrived incident intentionally unleashed to goad
renewed support for ever-expanding terrorism-related warfare in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan and now Yemen.

Just like after 9/11, airport travelers are again prepared to accept
greater violations of their liberties and privacy for supposed
security. Yet patsies and watchlist-subjects alike have repeatedly been
allowed to bypass security clearance and been proven to have ties to
the intelligence community.

The latest accused ‘terrorist’ Abdulmutallab was very
likely the fall-guy in a pattern-drill– handled by wealthy,
mismatched associates, allowed to board without required credentials,
and videotaped by a cameraman with an unknown connection. Was
Abdulmutallab involved with these figures through a drill which ended
with an intentionally-failed bombing meant to incite great fear of
terrorism?

PREVIOUSLY-STAGED TERROR

This would fit closely with other elements of CIA-concocted
“terrorism.” Many of the 9/11 hijackers and other known
extremists were revealed to have participated in ‘dry run’
drills, shared addresses with intelligence handlers or lived on
military bases, were allowed to pass through the border despite being
on one or more watchlists, and were given VISAS/Passports through
execptions and/or special clearance.

Similarly, David Headly, named in the Mumbai attack, has been exposed as a CIA-double agent.

FBI/CIA provocateurs and exaggerated accounts of extremists groups
have continued to emerge from the phony stories given to the public in
the cases of many would-be plots, such as in Toronto, the ‘plot’ to bomb the Sears Tower, the Transatlantic liquid bomb plot, alleged plans to ‘blow up a Jewish temple and shoot down military planes’ in New York and more.

We see a similar pattern here, the emerging evidence strongly
suggests. How long will we allow deliberately-provoked terror incidents
to frighten us to death, invade our privacy, erode our liberties,
restrict our travel and perpetuate an ever-expanding string of wars?

COMMENTARY: BODY-SCANNERS AND THE SECURITY-SWINDLE

Benjamin Franklin long ago warned us that “If we restrict
liberty to attain security, we will lose both.” And that those
willing to make that bargain deserve neither their liberty nor security.

This adage, frequently used by Benjamin Franklin in a body of work,
with many variations in the freedom vs. security theme. On the most
basic level, government is established only for the common security of
its people. Thus, it is no surprise that government tends to test the
line between the government and the governed on grounds of
“security.”

It is no coincidence that Franklin and fellow compatriots like
Thomas Paine laid down principled reasons for an individuals’
rights in respect to government.

Today’s advances in technology do not diminish the principled
reasons for keeping government’s power in check with the
people’s essential, as per Franklin– freedom. The
‘War on Terror’ is a shining example of Franklin’s
principle gone awry. You cannot fight against an existential, shadowy
“enemy”, on a fishing expedition for evidence, avoiding
certainties and “evidence”, and employing such unprincipled
tactics as torture, rendition, widespread wire-tapping– going
against the very spirit of the law established by the Constitution,
while hoping to maintain that opposing spirit in the nation.

There is a limit to “security”– in other words,
there are limits to what government, set up to protect the rights of
the governed, can do in the line of duty. The People have
Constitutionally protected rights to privacy, probable cause before
inspection or search, security in personal belongings and property, due
process and other related safeguards against the tendencies of
government ( 4th and 5th amendments), and a government must avoid violating these rights. But even this is not the point.

The people, for reasons of “security” and stripped and
searched in every increasing contraptions of detection– losing
privacy, dignity and basic freedom of travel. All the while, the rare,
real perpetrator, identified as a terrorist, never goes through the
database checks, security screening or passenger tracking schemes
set-up by Homeland Security. The people do. Mothers with breastmilk.
Business men with laptops. Shoes, belts, nail clippers, tooth paste,
underwear, but not terrorists.

They evidently are whisked through by contacts who may or may not
work directly for the FBI, CIA or etc. Databases make exceptions for
its most-important targets while people with commonly-confused names
are kept from flying or subject to secondary screening. Any ordinary
person without proper documentation is subject, at the least, to
alternate verification and likely quite a few intense questions. For
this would-be bomber, it is apparently the matter of a handshake with
the manager, and a high-level contact to vouch as sponsor.

It’s a bait and switch. It’s not security,
Constitutionally-sound or not. It’s a scheme to tightly-control
the travel of ordinary Americans while co-opting that fear to generate
support for various overseas operations. It is textbook
problem-reaction-solution.

The Body-Scanners, next in line of the wratched-up security measures
being put forward by TSA, along with newly hailed restrictions, such as
banning blankets, electronics and on-board bathroom use during the
final 60 minutes of flight, are heavy-handed measures set up by
Homeland Security and waiting for the right excuse to put them into
place.

Though the Body Scanners have already been phased in throughout the
U.S., only with this latest incident is it been publicly introduced. It
directly mirrors the TSA’s shoe fetish, which was sold on the lie
of the preposterous shoebombing-attempt purported by Richard Reid.

The heroic, but also practical actions of the passengers in
thwarting this attack is a sane reminder in the fog of the ‘War
on Terror’ that people can actually fend for themselves in many
situations, particularly in the face of danger. Though real, big scale
dangers do exist for governments clearly play a role, we cannot shriek
in the face of danger, handing over to government all that we hold in
the balance. There are ways of detecting crimes, preventing attacks and
’saving lives, for the children’ that don’t involve a
dragnet combing over the whole of the population.

The game is surely rigged if the criminal it was meant to catch
walks right through the proverbial back-door, which was held open for
him by the archetypal inside man. The trading of liberty for so-called
security does not balance favorably, but transfers power duly held by
the people to the government, the more dangerous by the loosened-chains
of the Constitution.
