Al-CIAda sock puppet Ayman al-Zawahiri was quoted in an audiotape released
today accusing Iran
of behind behind 9/11 conspiracy theories, in another crude public
relations stunt designed to
generate hostile opinion towards the 9/11 Truth Movement.
The tape had been promised three weeks ago by monitoring group
IntelCenter, who have been
caught in the past putting out fake and misleading "Al-Qaeda" material via
the alleged media
arm of the terrorist organization As-Sahab, and was finally released
today.
The set-up revolved around Al-Zawahiri responding to questions submitted
by the public via the
Internet.
(Article continues below)
"One of the questioners asked about the theory that has circulated in
the Middle East and
elsewhere that Israel was behind the 2001 attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon,"
re****ts the Associated Press.
Al-Zawahiri accused Hezbollah's Al-Manar television of starting the
rumor.
"The purpose of this lie is clear — (to suggest) that there are no
heroes among the Sunnis
who can hurt America as no else did in history. Iranian media snapped up
this lie and repeated
it," he said.
As anyone with even a superficial knowledge of the 9/11 truth movement can
attest to, the sock
puppet Zawahiri's claim that Iran were the first to question the official
9/11 story is
completely ludicrous.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent bumbling comments about
9/11, the date of which
he cannot even accurately remember, were music to the ears of Neo-Cons who
seized upon the
statements as fodder to debunk the 9/11 Truth Movement.
In addition, by making the issue about Israel's alleged involvement in
9/11, the media can
frame the debate and margnalize skeptics of the official story as
anti-Semites.
Zawahiri's single sentence retort, and the fact that it has been used to
generate headlines
that link alternative theories about 9/11 with 'those evil Iranians' in a
clear smear effort,
is highly suspicious considering the history of these "Al-Qaeda tapes" and
Zawahiri's own
background.
Is this Neo-Con friendly Al-Zawahiri a different person to the real
Al-Zawahiri who was
re****ted to have been captured in Tehran in February 2002?
Is this a different Al-Zawahiri to the one re****tedly captured near the
Pakistan-Afghanistan
border in September 2004?
Or is this the same Al-Zawahiri who, as the head of the Egyptian Islamic
Jihad, fought for the
CIA in Bosnia?
Is this the same Al-Zawahiri who, according to January 2000 U.S.
Congressional testimony, was
granted U.S. residence by the Immigration and Naturalization Service -
something almost
impossible for many legitimate immigrants to obtain?
Is this the same Al-Zawahiri whose brother Zaiman is running terrorist
camps under NATO
protection in the U.S. zone in Kosovo?
Previous tapes which featured Ayman al-Zawahiri were found to be cobbled
together from old
footage but that doesn't bother a lapdog media well versed in
manufacturing consent and never
offering retractions when said tapes turn out to be questionable frauds.
A 2006 Ayman al-Zawahiri tape was studied by a computer expert, who
discovered that the
As-Sahab logo (the alleged media arm of Al-Qaeda) and the IntelCenter logo
(a U.S. based
private intelligence organization that "monitors terrorist activity") were
both added to the
video at the same time - meaning the Pentagon-affiliated group releasing
the tapes were
slapping on the Al-Qaeda brand right before they released them to the
media. The expert
suspiciously reversed his stance a day later despite producing detailed
technical analysis to
justify his claim.
Any credibility that these so-called "Al-Qaeda tapes" had was devastated
after our
investigation revealed that the people putting them out had connections
into the highest ranks
of the military-industrial complex.
In our exposé, we unveiled the ties between IntelCenter, a group that
regularly 'obtains'
Al-Qaeda tapes and the Pentagon. IntelCenter is an offshoot of IDEFENSE,
which was staffed by a
senior military psy-op intelligence officer, Jim Melnick, who has worked
directly for Donald
Rumsfeld.
IntelCenter were behind the October 2006 release of the "laughing
hijackers" tape that showed
Mohammad Atta and Ziad Jarrah allegedly attending a 2000 Al-Qaeda meeting
and reading their
last will and testament.
Segments of the video that were interspersed with footage of the "laughing
hijackers," Jarrah
and Atta, showing Bin Laden giving a speech to an audience in Afghanistan
on January 8 2000,
were culled from what terror experts described as surveillance footage
taken by a "security
agency."
News re****ts at the time contained the admission that the U.S. government
had been in
possession of the footage since 2002, while others said it was found when
the United States
invaded Afghanistan in 2001, and yet it was still bizarrely re****ted that
the tape, bearing all
the hallmarks of having been filmed and edited by undercover US
intelligence and having
admittedly been in US possession for five years, was released over the
weekend of September
31/October 1 by "Al-Qaeda".
The video also contained segments that were first broadcast in a British
do***entary called The
Road to Guantanamo, which was originally aired in March 2006. The context
of the corresponding
scene in the dramatized do***entary featured U.S. interrogators attempting
to coerce Gitmo
detainees into confessing Al-Qaeda member****p by showing them fake videos
where their likeness
had been computer generated to appear as if they were in attendance during
Bin Laden's January
8 2000 speech.
IntelCenter were also behind the release of the July 2007 "new" Bin Laden
tape, which in actual
fact was old footage filmed in 2001 and had been released, including by
IntelCenter itself, on
no less than two previous occasions spanning back five years.
Al-Zawahiri has a history of popping up at the most politically expedient
times, most notably
when he appeared right before State of the Union speeches two years
running, to attack Bush's
policy in Iraq and allow him to use Al-Zawahiri's words as a rallying call
to prolong the
occupation, following in the footsteps of Dick Cheney and former Press
Secretary Tony Snow, who
had compared troop surge skeptics to Al-Qaeda sympathizers.
His latest comments linking the questioning of the official 9/11 story
with America's supposed
enemy, Iran, are transparently part of a crude ploy to allow the media to
embark on a fresh
round of demonizing legitimate 9/11 truth activists.
