A young man around 23, named Farouk Umar Mutallab, a son of a prominent politician, a former minister and a former Chairman of First Bank Nigeria PLC, was arrested by security operatives in an attempt to bring down an aircraft flying from in Amsterdam to Michigan in the US, on the Christmas day, 25th December 2009. He attempted this terrorist attack when the plane was approaching the destination in US. According to ABC, CNN and the entirety of the corporate media, this guy was trained in Yemen by Alqaida operatives for one month before the day of the attack and also there are a host of other recently trained terrorists like him that will still strike soon. All these information were obtained when this guy was interrogated by FBI and CIA officials. This or something like this story is what you hear from the corporate media and other media around the world that follow them without questioning apparent errors in their stories.
As a citizen of the ‘global village’ and as an educated individual, any event that has to do with security and peaceful existence on this globe should be subjected to careful analysis and scrutiny, on a platform of fairness and open-mindedness. In reality, no one can claim to be completely and absolutely fair or balanced - that is the very nature of human being, and we can not help being angels or robots – but an enlightened mind should try his best at being fair in handling matters. Everybody – except the imbeciles – has got one mindset or the other based on which class he belongs to, but it’s a praiseworthy attribute to be able to scrutinize events as they unfold and not be fooled by the media or brainwashers. Unfortunately the media, local or international, government controlled or independently owned is corrupt and shamelessly biased in matters of world politics. At this juncture, let me make a vital point. To an ‘average’ person, the government can not be wrong: the accused person(s) – terrorists, activists, freedom fighters, pressure group, and so on – is to be blamed. This is a wrong perspective. Take it. History had documented several grievous actions taken by the government against people, individuals and groups and in majority of those instances, it’s all about a ‘powerful’ person(s) – within or outside the government – struggling to achieve his personal desire using the machine of the government and media. Another pertinent point here is that the media is always the government’s mouthpiece, and the other party has limited, or at times, no means of making its views known to the public and so what the media has to say is the dominant idea, which may be terribly wrong at times. So for those of you who listen to CNN, ABC News, and so on, and then go out and say “….yes, it’s true, the government must deal with them, they must be killed, bla bla bla…”, you need to adjust lest you continue to be fooled by the brainwashing ideas that a group of people created in order to deal with another using the chance of being closer to the government than the other (the accused– terrorists, activists, freedom fighters, pressure group, and so on). Big thanks to the world of internet. Nowadays, except for the psycho-intellectually lazy individuals, it’s now not only possible but also very easy to gather information from various sources and determine who is right and who is wrong. Then it will be easy to judge matters with intellectual soundness, and not render your brain to think only in the direction the stereotyping media guides it. Okay let’s go back to the issue.
The popular report we hear and read is this: This boy left Nigeria for Amsterdam and then from there, boarded another plane Northwest Airline Flight 253 to US. He left his seat for the toilet and after spending some times in the toilet he came back to his seat only to detonate - in the eyes of everybody on board - what they called ‘explosive’, about 20 minutes to the destination airport in Michigan. He was arrested while the fire that resulted from his ‘bomb’ was extinguished after burning his trousers and the walls of the plane. After the day of the attempted bombing, a lot of shocking revelations were revealed, which will put a reasonable person at least on the fence, until clearer evidences emerge to determine where one should stay in the picture.
Whatever the media has to say about the matter, common sense gives preference should be given to the accounts provided by the eye witnesses to the event, and in this case, those on board. For anybody who fears to be tagged terrorist or alt least alleged of ‘sympathizing’ with terrorists, he would not want to implicate himself if he’s not sure of his accounts of the incident. A man named Kurt Haskell, an attorney with the Haskell Law Firm in Taylor, Michigan, was on board with his wife on the same aircraft. He detailed his experience at the Amsterdam airport and on flight 253. Mr. Haskell provided information not covered by the corporate media. CNN interviewed this man, his wife and other key eyewitnesses 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. What did Haskell say? Read his account.
“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.”
This was said to the CNN interviewer, who also asked whether he was sure the guy he saw was the same Mutallab or someone else. He replied he could still recognize him to be the same ‘Sudanese refugee’ that was first rejected by the ticket agent in his account. Then let me ask the following questions:
Who is the ‘wealthy looking Indian man’ and why was the suspect was allowed to speak for himself when it was not established he was a deaf?
Who is the ‘we’ in his statement: ‘We do this all the time.’ and why and how was the supposed refugee allowed in the end to board an international flight, even without a passport?
Why was he not searched and scanned like they do for people before being allowed to board, particularly since he later turned out to be a person on the terror watch list even months before the attack?
Then you can see something is fishy! This guy had been on the CIA counter terrorism watch list because they suspected earlier that he may have links with Alqaeda, and also his very father had reported him to the US embassy/ CIA of his strange behaviours recently. So how was he able to scale through stringent security checks despite his security status? Think over these points. Another thing worthy of note is that another eyewitness on board the Northwest Airline flight 253, Patricia Keepman, said she noticed the a 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.” Patricia “Scotty” Keepman and her daughter witnessed the alleged botched bombing. Keepman’s daughter said that ahead of them was a man who videotaped the entire flight, including the attempted detonation. “He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly,” said Patricia. “We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we’ve heard nothing about it.” The alleged videotaping of the underwear bomber and his fudged attack is another oddity that the corporate media should subject to careful scrutiny if they are sincere about exposing the truth. Who is the man and why did FBI allow him to leave with the recorded video clip if he covered everything from the beginning of the flight to the end of the events of the attack? Remember, in the first place, it’s not permitted to take video recordings while at the airport or in the plane except with special permission.
On The Alex Jones Show on Tuesday, December 29, 2009, Detroit attorney Kurt Haskell dropped bombshell revelations concerning his eyewitness experience of the Flight 253 attack and how the FBI detained a second man after dogs detected a bomb in his luggage. The FBI has not only ignored Haskell’s story, but they have launched a cover-up by refusing to even acknowledge the existence of another man who filmed the entire flight, including the aborted attack, as well as the well-dressed man who aided the bomber to board the plane even though he had no passport and was on a terror watch list. Haskell continues his account:
"After being allowed to disembark from the plane by officials, passengers were detained in customs with their carry-on luggage for six hours while they waited to be interrogated by the FBI.At this point a bomb-sniffing dog pointed at carry-on luggage in the possession of a man Haskell described as Indian around 30 years old. Officials led the man away to an interrogation room. Haskell said he was concerned because the bomb-sniffing dog had flagged the man, indicating he may have had explosives in his carry-on luggage. The Indian man was subsequently led away in handcuffs."
Another pertinent issue in this story of underwear bomber is that it was confirmed from many sources that he left Nigeria without any hand luggage. Then where did he get the supply of explosive? Is it at the Amsterdam airport or was it supplied by accomplices right in the plane before the time he used it? I think you should have a clue to the answer. One, remember the "smartly dressed Indian man from Kurt Haskell's account above, and two, the other Indian man whose carry-on luggage contained explosive according to the "bomb sniffing dog." I guess you have a clue now.
Other eye witnesses later reported that Mutallab seemed to be in a trance. This reported trance state could be corroborated with the fact that the ‘wealthy looking Indian man’ spoke on his behalf throughout. Don’t you think he may be drugged/hypnotized and programmed so that he’s not conscious of what he’s doing while on the mission? Then if this is true, who did this? Alqaeda? CIA/FBI? If it’s Alqaeda that did this, then all the security agents and the airport officials at the Amsterdam airport must have collected bribe from Alqaeda to allow this boy they were told to be watching, to board without checking him. I may be wrong! I can not say, just like some terrorist sympathizers are claiming, that CIA/FBI was responsible for the underwear bombing plot. I guess it was alqaeda that did it, but they paid bribe to them so that the boy would not be checked. Do you get the math?
