UK Terror Plots Result In Irrational Fear Mongering

The recent so-called failed terror plots in London have sparked irrational fear mongering from both the British and U.S. governments. This fear mongering has been magnified by the utterly shameful coverage of these events by the establishment media.

The recent so-called failed terror plots in London have sparked irrational fear mongering from both the British and U.S. governments. This fear mongering has been magnified by the utterly shameful coverage of these events by the establishment media.

The convenient timing of these plots is incredibly suspicious considering the fact that Gordon Brown just took over as Prime Minister two days prior to these events. The plots which consisted of a gas filled Jeep on fire crashing into the Glasgow airport terminal and a couple of crudely designed gasoline car bombs in London were so poorly carried out by the so-called terrorists that it makes the fear mongering all the more laughable. It almost appears as if these terror plots were designed to fail intentionally in an effort to solidify Gordon Brown’s power base. Considering the history of British intelligence agencies staging terror attacks and hyping terror plots, this is a very likely scenario. The failed terror plots provide an opportunity for Brown to justify and implement future policy that capitalizes on the public’s fear as well as show his leadership abilities in a so-called crisis situation. Brown has previously planned tough new anti-terror laws in the UK and he may use this manufactured crisis as a way to implement his draconian proposals which further erode individual liberty. Brown has also recently called for a New World Order which can only be achieved through a climate of fear considering the increased worldwide resistance to global governance.

The immediate response to the failed terror plots resulted in the closure of airports and transit systems as well as an increase in the UK’s terror threat level to critical. The U.S. government has also responded to these failed terror plots by increasing airport security. The fear mongering has also resulted in the evacuation of JFK airport due to what has been called a suspicious package. Talking heads on the establishment media were already hyping the failed terror plots with some like Fox News even stating that the U.S. is probably the next target. The airport evacuation is likely being used to justify the continuous fear mongering by the bought and paid for fascists in the establishment press.

Ex-CIA agent Larry Johnson has even questioned the fear mongering by the government and press. Johnson was recently on MSNBC with Keith Olbermann to discuss the failed terror plots and explained that the two so-called car bombs were so crudely designed, that they could not have killed anyone even if the gasoline was ignited properly. This contradicts claims by the government stating that the gasoline bombs could have killed hundreds. Watch the video clip of Johnson and Olbermann discussing this situation below.

We already know that western intelligence agencies have historically been involved in government sponsored terrorism for many years. We have also seen both the U.S. and British governments consistently hype so-called terror plots and stage events in an effort to scare the public and justify the phony terror war against Al-Qaeda. Nearly every terror plot and attack is blamed on Al-Qaeda because it is an organization that doesn’t even exist. The documentary film Power of Nightmares goes into the non-existence of Al-Qaeda in more detail. Even more disturbing is the fact that the origins of Al-Qaeda link directly back to the CIA. Al-Qaeda was originally formed by the CIA as a database of names who were used to aid in fighting the war in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union during the 1980s. Al-Qaeda is simply nothing more than a proxy of the CIA but through the mass media brainwashing by the establishment press, they have managed to convince the public to be afraid of a threat that doesn’t actually exist. Al-Qaeda is really nothing more than the real life version of 1984’s Emmanuel Goldstein.

The whole premise of Al-Qaeda is best summed up with a quote from Adolf Hitler.

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”

It is possible that these bungled terror attacks were the act of a small group of crazy people. However, considering the use of two expensive Mercedes automobiles in the failed car bomb plots as well as the coordination and the timing of these incidents, it is more likely that this was an operation funded and carried out by British intelligence. Talking heads on Fox News even stated that despite the fact that the terror plots were bungled terribly, they were still a professional job.

The big story though is not who pulled off these bungled attacks but the irrational fear mongering by the U.S. and British government that is parroted by the establishment press in both countries. This is just another attempt by the establishment to scare the public and justify the phony terror war.

The fear mongering has been widely criticized. Check out links to other articles which analyze and denounce the shameful behavior by the government and press.
