Indonesian police say lots of things?

Indonesian police say a man they have been holding in connection with the Bali bombings in October is now suspected of direct involvement.

[As well as the Coalition of the Killing and the CIA?]

But Indonesian police make up the story as they go along particularly when they hear dissenting views coming from independent news in Australia challenging their independent views that they only ever managed to be able to get those who assisted in bombings.

They have to countermand that now because the Indonesian authorities attempt to clean up their act as they go along.

We had the second Bali bomb blast on the dance floor in 2002, and while working in the Embassy in 2004, both blasts using 'military hardware' and then the 2005 Bali blasts in the cafes with home made bombs to make it look like a 'home grown attack' - that could only have been carried out by suicide bombers and peasant scapegoats, those the authorities seek to blame it on.

We've also got the story of the alleged capture of Azahari after police allegedly let him go the first time and a bent story that was changed the following day to go along with his alleged capture and killing!

Then the subsequent drip-fed propaganda, video's, books, maps, plots etc beaming into Australia everyday from the mainscream pro-government media to mind-set the propaganda, like it's the real deal?

No doubt the pro-government media's aim in Australia is to beam in any bombing, threat, terrorist, plot, plan, video, or conspiracy theory from around the world, at this time, but in particular Indonesia, to boost the fear factor in the newly to be introduced Ant-Terrorism Bill here.

Bali police spokesman Antonius Reniban says the 33-year-old, known as Wiwid, was arrested just over a week ago and was facing up to 15 years in prison under Indonesia's 2002 anti-terrorism laws.

But that's nothing; you can get that if police say they found two pills on you in Indonesia, just ask Michelle Leslie!

Police 'believed' Wiwid harboured those suspected of carrying out the bombing.

But they now 'believe' he knew of the bombing plan and was part of it.

One wonders what they will believe tomorrow?

And that may depend on what we say here in Australia today. Because the Australian government is complicit in the fear campaign, no doubt! And has in its history being complicit with the Indonesian government to commit war crimes and state sanctioned terror!

But you just can't believe anything coming out of corrupt Indonesia, especially when it is also in the Australian governments best interests!

The spokesman says Wiwid was taken into custody in Semarang in Central Java.

He is now being questioned at Bali's central police headquarters, along with two other suspected scapegoats allegedly linked to the Malaysian bomb expert Azahari.

Azahari was allegedly killed in November and his accomplice Noordin Top is allegedly still on the run.

Because Noordin Top is going to be behind the next major bombing?

7/7 London Bombings Final Word: Her Majesty's Terrorist Network

The fake terrorist attacks we see almost every day on the news, including all the daily bombings in Iraq (by supposed "insurgents" who happened to have huge stockpiles of explosives for the past 2 years straight), including the Bali bombings and the London bombings, are all lame efforts to scare everyone into submission into supporting the fake "War on Terror" (used to disguise and justify seizing and controlling oil-rich middle-eastern land and to develop hatred against Muslims and Arab-looking people so that people will be more willing to join the army and kill such innocent people).

There is no such thing as an Indonesian anti-corruption body

A corrupt Indonesian government has now suggested that its anti-corruption body says it is investigating the judges who presided over the trial of Australian model Michelle Leslie on drug charges.

Evidence that Howard was complicit in CIA, false flag, call to arms, Bali bombings War criminal John Howard was complicit in the call to arms - false flag operation - Bali bombings - instigated by the CIA - and the Coalition of the Killing - to bolster support - and quell dissent for their illegal and degrading resource wars in the Middle East.

War criminal Howard high-jacks HRCA to 'legitimise killing'
The Human Rights Council of Australia (HRCA) says it fears Prime Minister John Howard's comments in support of the execution of [CIA operative] Osama bin Laden show his eagerness to overturn three decades of national opposition to the death penalty.

State terror units caused the terror!
The level of suspicion and surveillance created by the [US false flag operation and call to arms] Bali bombings, created by [ the Coalition of the Killing and Australian's complicity to go to war on Iraq] means that all Australian's suffer the loss of their human rights, civil rights and their democratic rights, as well as those Australian's who lost their life in Bali.

Did the CIA blow up Bali?
In a nation where conspiracy theories and rice are two of life's staples, Indonesians appear to be changing their habits. You can still get rice with your Kentucky Fried, but conspiracy theories easy to find, at least as far as the Bali bombings are concerned.

Australia's Terrorism Wake Up Call [164] The horrific bombings of the Sari Club and Paddy's Bar in Bali, on October 12, 2002, considerably strengthened the hand of the CoW in pursuing the War on Terror. Here was an opportunity to harden the hearts of the Australian and US public against Islamic fundamentalists. It was also a chance for the Indonesian government to justify harsh measures in the war against terrorists and secessionists, such at those in the province of Aceh.

The plot, uncovered by Singaporean authorities last December before it was fully planned, originally was intended for missions in Manila, not Singapore. The revelations, obtained by GKCNN through key summaries of the US interrogation of Mohammed Mansour Jabarah, demonstrate the new depth of GI members' commitment to the sugar cause.

CIA agent spreads terror fears in Australia

Rohan Gunaratna: Right person? Right time? Right place? Funny that!

An international CIA spy from Indonesia says there are many terrorist networks operating in Australia - meanwhile the bombs are going off in his own backyard. But don't you worry he gets paid well to promote fear because he's part of the program on the 'war on terror' (which is usually state sanctioned terror to promote fear most of the time)!

CIA spy dr rohan gunaratna has addressed a policing, propaganda and Counter Liberty forum in Sydney today. But you've never heard from him before? Have you?

Seems CIA spy sidney jones is having a break or simply not convincing enough to most Australians (because of her accent?) so the other loser who keeps getting picked up in the mainstream in Indonesia has come over to justify hoWARd's new terror laws.

After State Sanctioned Terror bomb blasts recently in Indonesia he has come over to Australia to ensure prime meanster john hoWARd (the coward) passes his draconian anti-liberty legislation here by attempting to validate the fact that there are many terrorist networks operating in Australia.

Are you terrified truth-seeker? Terrified enough to let john hoWARd the coward pass any law that he wishes based of your fear from his terror network?

Why shouldn't you be convinced after all gunaratna says he's a dr and reported to be a 'terrorist expert'? He even lives in Indonesia surrounded by bombs going off in his own backyard. But even with his alleged expertise it has only led to even more relentless and 'subsequent bombings' in Indonesia. So I suppose that's how you know you need an expert?

dr gunaratna has told delegates that while Australian authorities have disrupted an alleged terrorist cell, many others exist.

Notice he has now validated that the authorities have disrupted and alleged terrorist cell here? Even though it was only a witch-hunt and a 'district fishing expedition' and where nothing has been proved! This sounds like a dr with a history of checking his facts? That's what you call research?

gunaratna: "There are other extremist and terrorist cells on Australian soil," he said.

But from what most Australians can make out the only terrorist we have around here is the neo-liberal government, which includes paid off media giants and terrorism experts from the CIA. The CIA spy's with all the credentials and who just happen to reside where all the bombs go off.

Funny that, I guess you just have to be the 'right person' in the 'right place' at the 'right time', hey you gutter snipe on a good whack!

He has predicted that Australia is likely to face a terrorist attack on home soil within the next few years. Just like he predicted they'd go off in Indonesia I suppose? Then again that wouldn't be hard to predict at all would it truth-seeker? I mean you wouldn't have to be an expert!

He says the most dangerous threat is posed by homegrown terrorist networks, [the Coalition of the Killing?] although Australia also faces a threat from groups based in South East Asia.

Yeah, him the Indonesian authorities and his CIA mates!

Because the most dangerous threat here in Australia is posed by home-grown terrorists all right and we should know better than any foreigner.

The problem

Prime meanster john hoWARd with his new Anti-Terrorism and IR Bills. Not to mention the degrading state of the Sin-ate. The neo-liberal coward hoWARd, his cronies, media giants and numerous expert mates from the CIA.

Expert mates (from all walks of life) in fact, when it comes to government propaganda. When they drop in look out for a PR conference, about the constant fear and terror that should be promoted to sustain the illegal and degrading war on Iraq and Afghanistan. Or experts in our Universities promoting essays on the benefits of torture.

He told delegates there are between 200 and 300 Muslims in Australia who support violent extremism. [?]

Okay then how many in Indonesia smarty-pants?

gunaratna: "The most dangerous threat to Australia today comes from home-grown networks - what we call the resident threat," he said.

That's you and me! Resident threats now are we, to what? Corporations!

Because the most dangerous threat we face in Australia today comes from home-grown networks - what we call the neo-liberal threat including the media giants who are paid off to promote fear and propaganda in the community for their illegal and degrading war on terror.

gunartna: "The threat that primarily stems from the radicalised segments of the Muslim community in Australia - this is the primary threat."

But that's wrong again, because the threat here primarily stems from the radicalised USA government in Australia, the FBI and the CIA as well as the American Military Industrial Complex - this is the primary threat.

gunaratna: says networks based in South-East Asia will also form a long-term threat to Australia the longer they are allowed to flourish.

But as long as the corrupt Indonesian government rule then you can kiss your arse goodbye for any long-term relief in Indonesia regardless of any expert who has obviously done nothing to fix the problem in his own backyard.

gunaratna: "You face a very significant terrorist threat through Australia, on Australian soil, so the threat to Australia remains significant," dr gunaratna said.

But we face a very corrupt government here in Australia - as you do in Indonesia - as well as a significant civil liberties threat with lots of injustice at the moment and that is exactly what will lead us to any possible terrorist threat - my learned dr and alleged terrorist expert?

He told delegates Australia's political leaders must build bridges with Muslim communities, and have described their efforts so far as gravely inadequate.

Especially when they're breaking down doors and locking them up to be used as scapegoats for their illegal and degrading war on terror (which is terror).

Thank you for your expert opinion mr guttersnipe and give my love to sidney jones and georgie dubya bushit. Then piss-off back to Indonesia and fix the problem in your own backyard before you give Australians any advice.

hoWARd, will keep chilling you!

John Howard, Philip Ruddock and Piers Ackerman unmasked
[File photo] (Rooters)

CHILLING new propaganda tape send by john hoWARd the coward's mates from Indonesia should give him the political power to pass new 'Anti-Terror legislation' here.

Sending even more 'troops to Iraq' and or keeping those that are there longer, should also seem more feasible, in the current climate of 'fear' and 'terror' created by the authorities, both here and abroad, especially by our close neighbours Indonesia.

So regardless of all the problems the new Anti-Terrorist bill has created for civil libertarians and the skeptics alike here in Australia and regardless of all the dissent over waging illegal and degrading wars - that have led to more State sanctioned terror - you will live in fear of our national insecurity - because john hoWARd said so!

The tape was sent via the Indonesian authorities and Australian media giants who have 'no affiliation' with john hoWARd the coward?

You know the Indonesian authorities that 'set-up' the raid that had allegedly caught the Bali bombers that everyone has been looking for since at least 2002.

You know when the Indonesian police accidentally let Azahari bin Husin go.

Yeah, the same authorities that reported that he'd been blown up then changed their mind the very next morning and said they shot him instead.

And now those same authorities claim to have caught the other three that allegedly helped assist last month's Bali suicide bombings that killed four Australians.

You don't have to worry about the suicide bombers though because they blew themselves up and there are no witnesses and now swiftly taken care of by the capture of only those who allegedly 'assisted' in the bombings.

All this nonsense to hide the fact that the Bali bombing was not State Sanctioned Terror when it clearly was in relation to the explosive used in the second Bali bomb blast in 2002, which was clearly military hardware.

But don't you worry they learned from their first experience with Australian skeptics and made sure all the bombs that went off recently were home made (to look like they were home grown).

They also learned how to ensure someone else took the blame and how to provide material allegedly found on the day of the set-up (books and things), (videos and the like), to have you 'believe' their story.

Don't forget the guilt of the accused that were paraded and dragged in chains before the rednecks with bags on their heads like you'd see in Guantanamo after they've been tortured into making submissions!

This was planned very well and the propaganda is duel purpose.

This type of propaganda can also promote the fear so very necessary to pass draconian legislation here in Australia. With the community constantly living in more fear anything is possible, right, you little coward wimp?

The American Military Industrial complex would be proud of you johnny and now you can do the job they want you to do and take away more of the community's human rights and civil rights. You can also continue to wage more illegal and degrading war unabated as well as send more troops to Iraq and or keep them there longer.

The American Military Industrial Complex

The Australian community believes the recording to be the work of senior operatives in the Indonesian government (Military and Police) as well as UK, USA, and Australian special forces that make up the (Coalition of the Killing), which includes the CIA and ASIO.

This initiative is definitely all part and parcel of waging illegal and degrading wars on sovereign nations and bolstering the support needed to validate it and to also get away with it as some sort of a mercy dash to save the world!

george w bushit, a senior operative of the USA, tony the bliar from the UK and john hoWARd the coward from Australia are all masterminds of the Coalition of the Killing.

Recording threats is common practice for warmongers like them anywhere in the world but this is thought to be the first time it has been done in Indonesia. It is also the most specific threat made against Australia and the first to name specific politicians.

But it is not the first time that the bombs went off in Indonesia to promote fear and the political power for hoWARd the coward and his cronies to wage illegal and degrading wars in 'their' war on terror (which is terror).

Speaking in South Korea, hoWARd the coward played down the Iraq war link and fears for his own safety on the job because he amongst others knows all about promotion and war propaganda and has the resources to achieve this.

He said he wasn't the least bit surprised that the video linked Australian involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq to us being a terrorist target. Because he knows all about it and the new draconian Anti-Terror Bill will protect us from all that nonsense. Right you coward!

Notice that the loser of the century is doing this from South Korea and not in his own pile of shit!

Asked if Australia would be less of a target when our forces eventually pull out of Iraq, hoWARd warned that the threat would not change markedly for years.

Yeah! Especially if Donald Rumsfeld the terrorist and torturer is asking for more troops to wage more illegal and degrading war!

US: Global terror network uncovered

"Sean Baker, a US military guard, volunteered to wear an orange jumpsuit and pretend to be an uncooperative detainee in Guantanamo [Bay] during a training exercise in January 2003. The guards, who did not know who he was, beat and choked him to the point where he suffered permanent brain injury" -- case study from cruel. inhuman. degrades us all., a publication released by human rights group Amnesty International in August.

This is the reality of the "war on terror", which US President George Bush claimed in a speech on August 24 was being fought because "we believe in human rights, and the human dignity of every man, woman and child on this Earth". Perhaps more than any other distinguishing feature of the "war on terror", it's the willingness of the White House to rehabilitate torture as a tool of warfare that cuts across its rhetoric about defending "democracy" and "human rights".

The latest torture scandal the Bush administration has found itself embroiled in is the revelation, made in a November 2 Washington Post article, of the scope of a secret network of overseas prisons run by the CIA for the purposes of secret detentions and the torturing of prisoners captured in the "war on terror".

According to the Post's report, the secret prisons are located in eight countries, including Afghanistan, Thailand and several "democracies" (as the Post describes them) in eastern Europe. The paper declined to publish the names of the east European countries involved in the torture network at the request of "senior US officials", because doing so "might disrupt counterterrorism efforts in those countries and elsewhere and could make them targets of possible terrorist retaliation".

However, a November 2 London Financial Times report revealed the likely locations of the prisons to be Romania and Poland. The FT report quoted Bush's national security adviser, Stephen Hadley, as saying: "We do what is necessary to defend the country against terrorist attacks and win the war on terror in ways that is consistent with our values.

"The fact that [the alleged prisons] are secret, assuming there are such sites ... some people say the test of your principles is what you do when no-one is looking. The president has insisted that whether in public or private, the same principles will apply."

But given the horrific revelations of what goes on at US-run prisons in places like Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, Bagram air base in Afghanistan and Abu Ghraib in Baghdad, Hadley's assurances hold little weight.

CIA torture

The November 9 New York Times revealed that a secret CIA report issued last year warned that some of the spy agency's post-9/11 interrogation procedures "might" violate "some provisions of the international Convention Against Torture".

One of the techniques known to have been employed by the CIA that the report expressed unease about is "waterboarding" -- strapping detainees to a board then pushing them under water until they believe they're about to drown. Getting Away with Torture?, an April 2004 Human Rights Watch (HRW) report, accused George Tenet, CIA director from July 1997 until July 2004, of specifically authorising waterboarding.

Moreover, further contradicting Hadley's claims, in late October US Vice-President Dick Cheney and CIA director Porter Goss met with leading Republican Senator John McCain to make the case for a presidential waiver to be incorporated into a McCain-sponsored legislative amendment of a defence appropriations bill. The amendment would ban US forces from employing "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" against prisoners.

In a follow-up to the Washington Post's November 2 report on the CIA's "black sites", a November 7 Post article reported that over "the past year" Cheney "has waged an intense and largely unpublicized campaign to stop Congress, the Pentagon and the State Department from imposing more restrictive rules on the handling of terrorist suspects".

The text of the proposed waiver would make the provisions of the McCain amendment "not apply with respect to clandestine counterterrorism conducted abroad, with respect to terrorists who are not citizens of the Unites States, that are carried out by an element of the United States government other than the Department of Defense". The intent is to free the CIA from any legal restrictions on torturing foreigners suspected of being terrorists.

"The Bush administration is now the only government in the world to claim a legal justification for mistreating prisoners during interrogations", HRW claimed on October 26. "While other governments practice torture and other forms of mistreatment and have records of abuse far worse than the United States, no other government currently claims that such abuse is legally permissible..."

'Rendition'

The CIA "black sites" are just one link in the Bush administration's post-9/11 terror network. Other key pieces in Washington's torture jigsaw are the practice of "rendition" (kidnapping people and transporting them to countries with pro-US regimes such Egypt and Afghanistan for torture) and the ongoing torturing and abuse of detainees in Pentagon-run prisons.

For example, a 14-year-old boy was arrested in Karachi, Pakistan, in October 2001. According to cruel. inhuman. degrades us all., he "was taken to a prison and allegedly suspended from his wrists. He says that for around three weeks he was held in this position for between 10 and 16 hours a day, always blindfolded apart from some five minutes a day when he ate.

"In late November 2001 he was transferred into US custody, and his nightmare continued. He says that he was put into blue overalls, hooded, shackled, beaten, threatened with death, and repeatedly called 'nigger', a word he had never heard before. He was then flown to the US airbase in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where he says he was assaulted, kept naked, doused in freezing water, and told that his penis would be cut off with scissors."

Early in 2002 he was moved to a prison camp at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "where he says he was hung by the wrists for up to eight hours at a time, beaten, subjected to sleep deprivation, strobe lighting and extreme cold, and racially abused. In 2003 an interrogator allegedly burned his arm with a cigarette. His arm still has scars." The boy has been a prisoner for over four years, in US custody for three and half of them, and has not been charged with any crime.

The exemption from anti-torture provisions for the CIA sought by Cheney is a near-explicit admission that the agency actively employs torture.

More insidious, though, has been the legal redefinition of "prisoner of war" status -- the Bush regime has claimed that those detained by the US military in the "war on terror" are "unlawful combatants" -- and what acts by US forces legally constitute torture.

'Redefining' torture

According to Amnesty, torture techniques used by the US and its "war on terror" allies include prolonged isolation, sleep deprivation, sensory manipulation (such as exposure to bright lights and loud music), sexual and other forms of humiliation, the use of dogs, mock executions and other threats, being forced to stand motionless or in stressful positions for hours on end, beatings, exposure to extreme heat and cold, verbal abuse (particularly racial and religious), prolonged handcuffing, hooding and blinding.

Many of these techniques most likely fall outside the new, narrower definitions of torture devised by Washington since the "war on terror" began. An August 1, 2002, US Justice Department memo argued that "acts must be of an extreme nature to rise to the level of torture". The memo, produced by the department's Office of Legal Counsel, further concluded that "certain acts may be cruel, inhuman or degrading, but still not produce pain and suffering of the requisite intensity to fall within [US federal law's] proscription against torture."

For the infliction of "physical pain" to be considered "torture", it "must be equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death. For purely mental pain or suffering to amount to torture... it must result in significant psychological harm or significant duration, e.g., lasting for months or even years... We conclude that the statue, taken as a whole, makes plain that it prohibits only extreme acts."
The memo was supposedly superseded by a December 2004 memo from the same office, but according to Amnesty, revised guidelines still leave plenty of scope for the torture of prisoners.

In addition to "legal" and "semi-legal" forms of torture and abuse, it is well-known that beatings, rape and other forms of sexual abuse have occurred in US-run prisons in occupied Iraq and Afghanistan -- most notoriously at Abu Ghraib and Bagram.

No-one living in countries under US military occupation, or living within the borders of Washington's despotic "anti-terror" allies like Pakistan, is safe. In May 2002, a Palestinian man, Hussain Youssouf Mustafa, was arrested in Pakistan and flown to Bagram air base. According to his account, quoted in the March-April edition of Mother Jones, while he was at Bagram three US soldiers took him from his cell and held him down while a fourth raped him with a stick.

While the Pentagon has claimed that the torture and sadistic abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US guards at Abu Ghraib were unauthorised by the White House, according to Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Colin Powell, these gross violations of the Geneva Conventions and US laws emanated from directives and memos issued by Cheney's office.

Wilkerson told the US National Public Radio's November 2 Morning Edition program that Powell, the then US secretary of state and a retired general, had assigned him to investigate the matter after reports emerged in the media about US troops abusing detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan. "It was clear to me that there was a visible audit trail from the vice-president's office through the secretary of defence down to the commanders in the field", he told NPR.
