“MSNBC TV translator Jacob Keryakes said that the statement in which the group claimed responsibility for the attacks contained an error in one of the Qura’nic verses it cited. That suggests that the claim is phony, he said,” reports al-Jazeera. A quick Google News Search returns exactly two results on the name “Jacob Keryakes” and one result when his name is coupled with “al-Qaeda” (the above al-Jazeera reference). Now you’d think, in the name of “fair and balanced” journalism, the possibility “The Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe” is phony would be mentioned by the corporate media, but of course it is not because the purpose of the corporate media is not to provide us with facts but brainwash us into accepting another set of lies, or at least half-truths, about terrorism. Once again, cui bono—who benefits—rules the day.

“I refuse to accept that the attack on London was anything less than a false-flag operation designed to enrage Western ‘civilization’ against the Middle East,” writes Matt Hutaff. “Why? Because there is no reason for ‘terrorist’ groups to attack England. As recently as this week, the Ministry of Defense announced that plans were being drafted that would pull British armed forces from the quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan. With the British effectively admitting they’re throwing in the towel, the only motivation to stay could come from an attack that compels the forces to stay and fight ‘global terrorism.’ Think about it. The attack only benefits empires desperate to maintain a foothold in the Middle East without further eroding public opinion. Will Parliament shrug their shoulders and push their soldiers into longer tours of duty because of this? Obviously it’s too early to tell, but if that happens, insurgents and rebels will have lost more than they could have ever possibly gained in destroying part of the Underground.”

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, in his exuberance to glean something supposedly upbeat from the attacks, agreed—the attacks are propaganda coup for the stalled “war on terrorism”:

And he [British Prime Minister Tony Blair] made the statement, clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where their topic Number 1—believe it or not—was global warming, the second was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. But it’s important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world’s advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.

“No longer do we need to concern ourselves with two world leaders (who have spawned more worldwide terrorism than any fanatical religious organization) going unquestioned in their lies that started a war,” Hutaff continues. “We can cast off our sluggish economies, lack of freedoms and pitiful descent into draconian law…. Everything is the same, right down to the previously unheard of Islamic group (The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe? Are you kidding me?) taking credit—even though the translation falls apart under scrutiny and the Q’uran is improperly cited. Considering the only Al Qaeda cell to ever be uncovered was a front for the Mossad, you’d think the perpetrators could at least come up with a clever new booga-booga name to grab headlines. Their arrogance is startling.”

Of course their arrogance is startling—because the American people (and plenty of Britons) no longer need rock solid or even believable evidence, relying instead, in a pervasive intellectually lazy fashion (now that is startling), on the entirely unsatisfactory explanations of two confirmed liars. It really does not matter what they name this particular phantom occurrence of al-Qaeda and it also does not matter if the false flag al-Qaeda now blamed for the attacks botches a Koranic verse or two because not only does the corporate media refuse to pause on such egregious errors in the official story but the American people also refuse (or are incapable) of picking up on the obvious: al-Qaeda is a big fat booga-booga contrivance.
