Once it was the British, then the French, then the Nazis, followed by the Soviets and now it’s the turn of Al Qaeda. The latest incarnation of bogeyman to haunt the nightmares of America comes in the form of takfiri terrorists – a tiny faction of an extremist sect apparently living in desolate caves and numbering just a few hundred. But the difference with this latest enemy is that while the Americans did not create Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, they certainly did create Al Qaeda. In the Afghan struggle against Soviet occupation, the CIA was heavily involved in nurturing, funding and organising fighters for their cause. Osama Bin Laden was one among many.

He and his patsies then became accomplices and scapegoats in 9/11 – that massive hoax that justified the unprecedented aggression and wanton destruction that followed. But just as Americans are used to over-egging their cakes, the secret American perpetrators who ‘Made It Happen On Purpose’,  found it necessary to invent further hoaxes in order to keep the first one alive.

As the saying goes, truth stands constant, but lies need constant support. And so in the years since 9/11 we have seen alert after alert and video after video reminding Americans – just in case they forgot – of the sword of terror hanging over their heads. Meanwhile Bin Laden in his videos seems to suspiciously morph from one man in Bin Laden costume to another, and his videos seem more like tribute acts from something akin to an Elvis impersonator contest.

When the American public started getting complacent, the emergence of actors Adam Yahiye Gadahn and Yousef al-Khattab in 2004 conveniently overcame the tiresome english subtitles of Bin Laden and Al Zawahiry (Americans hate subtitles). These American misfits offered a more palatable, cable TV friendly and altogether more sinister American-accented version of the Al Qaeda scam story. Unsurprisingly, both have been exposed as Jews who apparently ‘converted’ to Islam only to then ‘attack’ their own country while wearing Muslim clothing.

More and more lies are becoming necessary to prop up the first. As masters of psychological warfare and black propaganda, don’t expect the CIA to slack off any time soon. These phantoms and ghosts are needed to justify the oppression and devastation that the Americans are raining down onto the Muslim world. Wherever the Americans want to invade next, expect Al Qaeda to pop up its artificial head. We should have smelled a rat when they claimed they were in Pakistan. Instead, our government nodded and tutted like lemmings. Now all of us are paying the price of this fraud.
