No sooner did the corporate media parade gruesome photos of the freshly
killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, or the person we are expected to believe was al-Zarqawi,
then it set about arranging his successor, as evil Muslim boogiemen must remain
front and center in the forever war against manufactured terrorism. “An
Egyptian associate of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claims to have succeeded him as the
new leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, even though an Islamic Web site said Monday
that another man was in power,” reports the Bush Ministry of Scary Campfire
Stories, Fox News
division. “Brig. Gen. Carter Ham said at a Pentagon news conference on
Wednesday that Abu al-Masri, whose name surfaced shortly after reports of Zarqawi’s
death became widespread as a successor, had claimed to be in charge of Al Qaeda
in Iraq.” In short, the covert op pseudo-gang “al-Qaeda in Iraq”
needs a new face, as the demonization of the resistance must continue. According to Maj. Gen.
William Caldwell, “If you had to pick somebody” as the probable
new boogieman, it would be Abu al-Masri. Caldwell did not bother to tell us
who would do the picking but this is of course a no-brainer—the picking
was accomplished in the PSYOP unit at the Pentagon. Several candidates were
bantered around the corporate media prior to al-Masri’s selection: most
notably Abu Abdul-Rahman al-Iraqi, pegged as an “al-Qaeda” leader
or “emir” (since he is dead, al-Iraqi was quickly removed from the
candidate list) and Abdullah Rashid al-Baghdadi, who we are told is sort of
the CEO of the Iraqi resistance (the Mujahedeen Shura Council). Obviously, for
the Pentagon, al-Masri has the most attractive skillset and thus he was appointed.
Now it is up to the corporate media to build him up, probably only to eventually
tear him down, as al-Zarqawi (or rather his stand-in) was torn down with the
help of a couple 500lb bombs. As is usually the case when the organizational chart is shuffled, a bit of
tweaking is in order. “We think that Abu Ayyub al-Masri is in fact, probably,
Abu Hamza al-Muhajir [the immigrant]. They are probably one and the same,”
Caldwell
admitted. “Al Qaeda in Iraq’s new leader is more violent than his
predecessor,” warns the Arabic daily Asharq
al-Awsat. “No one gets appointed to this position without having earned
the group’s trust and gained fighting experience. Perhaps Abu Hamza had
traveled to Afghanistan or Bosnia to fight, or he took up armed resistance after
the US military invaded Iraq. He might have carried out a number of operations
famous throughout the organization,” Dr. Hani al Sibai, head of al-Maqrizi
Center in London, told the newspaper. Abu Hamza al-Muhajir’s CV fits the profile. If he did indeed travel “to
Afghanistan or Bosnia to fight,” he is surely an intel asset, as both
operations were run by the CIA and a smattering of other intelligence services.
Although the corporate media suffers from an allergic reaction to the truth
and prefers official fairy tales, it is a well-documented fact the Clinton administration,
under the sway of then CIA director-designate Anthony Lake working out of the
National Security Council, “helped turn Bosnia into a militant Islamic
base,” thus leading to the recruitment of thousands of Mujahideen from
the Muslim world, a repeat of the CIA’s Afghan operation a decade before,
a fact revealed in a generally ignored congressional
press release. “The evidence presented in Brendan O’Neill’s
article [How we
trained al-Qa’eda] in the case of Bosnia confirms that Al Qaeda is
not an ‘outside enemy’ but rather a creation of the US military-intelligence
apparatus. The same pattern of collaboration between the US military (and indeed
NATO) and the Islamic brigades was replicated in Kosovo (1995-99) and Macedonia
(2000-2001),” notes Global Research. As the CIA and Pentagon are not wont
to discard successful operations—and the CIA has boasted its Afghan operation
was the most successful in its long and sordid history—we can assume with
a large degree of accuracy the pattern was replicated in Iraq. Even though Hamza al-Muhajir, as his name suggests, hails from outside of Iraq,
it appears the PSYOP micromanagers in the Pentagon are in the process of domesticating
“al-Qaeda in Iraq,” thus attempting to taint the entire resistance
as criminals of the al-Zarqawi stripe. Eben
Kaplan, a CFR “research associate,” explains: Al-Qaeda in Iraq was already in the midst of a steady transformation at the
time of Zarqawi’s death. The group was initially composed primarily
of foreign fighters, but over the last several months it has begun to incorporate
many more native fighters in hopes of creating an indigenous home base. “We
can no longer talk about a foreign-born al-Qaeda in Iraq,” [Fawaz Gerges,
a Middle East expert at Sarah Lawrence College] says. Part of the reason for
this shift was many of Zarqawi’s foreign-born lieutenants had been killed
off and his ability to gain new recruits was diminishing. If speculation that
al-Muhajir is a foreigner is correct, it runs somewhat against this trend.
As Gerges explains, “Even if you have a foreign-born leader, the rank
and file of al-Qaeda in Iraq is becoming more Iraqi.” In other words, as the premier globalist organization informs us, the
“rank and file” of the Iraqi resistance is indistinguishable from
“al-Qaeda.” Of course, the Pentagon has worked long and hard to
make this so, or at least make the impression so in the minds of Americans,
who need to be inculcated with all manner of fantastical nonsense about the
Iraqi resistance. It is Job One for the neocon-infested Pentagon to hitch the
Iraqi resistance to “al-Qaeda” and thus the attack on America, never
mind there is not a shred of evidence “al-Qaeda” had anything to
do with the latter event, that is unless you think “inside job”
when the word “al-Qaeda” is mentioned. _____________________ Read from Looking Glass News Psyops Against the American People, The Boogeyman Principle Al-Zarqawi Circus Sideshow Continues Unabated Scene from "Zarqawi killed" - TAKE TWO Necro-Porn, Live on CNN Which one of these Zarqawis had tattoos and a prosthesis?
