US warned Indonesia to obey or face terror attacks

MICHAEL | 14.10.2002 14:17




THE United States ambassador to Jakarta, Ralph Boyce, had warned the Indonesian government only a few days before the blasts in Bali that unless it acted against American foes, America would act.



Last night fascists have struck at one of the most vulnerable and valuable targets in the country in a night of carnage on the paradise island of Bali, Indonesia’s main source of tourist revenue.

The attacks will be a shattering blow to the money making island, which draws visitors from all over the world to experience mellow, exotic beauty.

Megawati’s government is a coalition dependent on the support of CIA and she fears a backlash from America who are trying to control the nation that has a long tradition of religious harmony.

The Bali explosions are likely to force the government to cooperate with American forces or risk the destruction of a multi-million-pound tourist industry that is one of the country’s few resources after the Asian financial crash and the chaotic overthrow of its longtime dictator, General Suharto, in 1998.

Mossad operations have been exposed in a series of leaked CIA documents and in statements by security officials in the US and Singapore. And are believed to be linked to the bombings in Bali

Suddenly Bin Laden did it! No-one has seen or heard from this patsy for months, and if they have, why has he not been apprehended, yet, intel knows his terror cell was responsible, before any cursory investigation? This is how they whip up support for their war on terror, with terror and horror.

..."Mossad operations have been exposed in a series of leaked CIA documents and in statements by security officials in the US and Singapore. And are believed to be linked to the bombings in Bali"...

I am not going to deny that my suspicions were aroused along similar lines upon hearing the news and remembering (always remembering) that an organisation whose motto is 'through deceit we wage war'.

However strong the suspicion is though, what is VITAL at this moment is to clearly highlight the facts in this matter. Can you [someone?] please post the relevent info to this ... namely: newspaper reports of mossad activity in the area, government officials issuing statements ect, who leaked what documents to whom, who these security officials were.

Time is the crucial element here, in that following 911, it took weeks for any hard evidence to make its way into the public domain[conciousness?] - such as the mossad squads arrested cheering the events, the spy rings posing as art dealers visiting officials and security homes/offices, the documented warnings given to certain parties etc.

the explosive was not nuclear

The explosive used was millitary grade C4, not the average choice of the terrorist whom normally use the old fertiliser sugar mix.

C4 is produced in the USA for use by western forces.

A quote from the makers of semtex "The American explosive C4 is just as invisible to airport X-rays, but they don't like to mention that."

The attack on bali was an attrocity that must never be repeated, but to use it as an excuse to bomb more civillians must never be allowed to happen.
