Wikileaks, Assorted Actors And Faith-Based Frolics In The War On Terror

Does anyone believe it anymore? I really wish I had access to a reliable census on what the majority of people in this world believe about the purported 'Islamic terror threat', 9/11 etc. etc. Over the past 10 years several US 9/11 polls have been published. Depending on which of the shockingly few mainstream media corporations you prefer, somewhere between 36% and 62% of the US public believe that the US government is, at the very least, not telling the truth about the 9/11 attacks. If true, (and we have every reason to believe that the media corps down-play the figures) what does that mean for public perception of the 'Islamic terror threat' on which the 9/11 attacks are based?

If a majority of human beings can, at this stage, see through most of the increasingly crass US, British, French and Israeli government and assorted 'Intelligence' agency hyperbole and propaganda, can we expect them to just drop the whole charade any time soon? Sadly, recent media reports suggest otherwise and point to a deepening of the global psychological operation to which we have all been subjected these past 10 years.

A still from the most recent 'al-Qaeda' video released by Intel Center featuring Adam Gadhan

"Media reports". We use and hear that term so often in reference to the 'war on terrorism' that we can easily forget what it actually means. It means that everything you know, or think you know, about the global terror threat has come to you via media corporations that are either owned or controlled by the governments that are waging the 'war on terror' and profiting handsomely from it. Does that bother anyone?

To make matter worse, the stories you watch, listen to and read concerning what's what and who's who in Muslim terror-land are invariably provided by the intelligence arms of the same governments. There are no 'al-Qaeda' TV or radio stations, no 'Muslim Terrorism' weekly magazines with articles and Op-Eds penned by Osama and his alleged cohorts. And before you protest, all of the 'al-Qaeda' internet video and audio tapes that you vaguely remember seeing and hearing have long since been deemed so suspect by objective analysis that they are inadmissible as reliable evidence.

Take for instance the recent reappearance of 'Adam Gadhan', the all-American 'home-grown' spokesman for Osama bin Laden. Gadhan was born Adam Pearlman, the son of Californian hippy goat-rearing parents and the grandson of Anti-Defamation League board member, Dr. Carl Pearlman with whom Adam lived during his childhood. During his teenage years, Adam dabbled in the death metal scene before finally opting for Islam, to which he converted when he was 17. Soon thereafter, he seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet for a while, with reports (from Intel agencies) claiming that he moved to Pakistan in 1998, where, at the tender age of 19, he is said to have married an Afghan refugee.

In March 2001, he cut off all contact with his family, just before Muslim Terror Inc. went live. Later that year, he reemerged (on the internet) with a new name, Adam Yahiye Gadahn', a new Muslim beard and elevated to the position of "senior commander to Bin Laden translator, video producer, and cultural interpreter." I kid you not. Since then Adam has been the front man for 'As-sahab', allegedly the media arm of 'al-Qaeda', and has starred in several video messages where he attempts to combine Californian schmooze with radical Islamic ideology...to limited success. Here's one such video dispatch for your viewing pleasure (note, you can tell he's reading a prompter):



That particular video was released a few years ago by Intel Center, which has released most of the 'al-Qaeda' audio and video tapes. Intel Center claims to be a "private contractor working for intelligence agencies" that "studies terrorist groups and other threat actors and disseminating that information in a timely manner to those who can act on it." It is also a stone's throw from CIA HQ in Virginia. Owned by Verisign, which operates "two of the Internet's thirteen root nameservers, the generic top-level domains for .com, .net, .cc, .name and .tv", Intel Center's CEO is Ben Venzke, a former US intelligence officer. Alongside Venzke is 'Director of Threat intelligence', Jim Melnick who served 16 years in the US army and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and worked in psychological operations. The IDEFENSE website described him this way a few years ago:

Prior to joining iDefense, Mr. Melnick served with distinction for more than 16 years in the U.S. Army and the Defense Intelligence Agency. During this period, Mr. Melnick served in a variety of roles, including psychological operations, international warning issues with emphasis on foreign affairs and information operations and Russian affairs. He also served in active political/military intelligence roles with an emphasis on foreign affairs. Mr. Melnick is currently a U.S. Army Reserve Colonel with Military Intelligence, assigned to the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

Note that Melnick was assigned to the Office of Donald "Go massive sweep it all up. Things related and not" Rumsfeld'. Melnick does more or less the same job for another company called ISight Partners. Basically, he has his finger on the pulse of all potential 'cyber-threats' and works for a company (Verisign) that should have no problem at all in identifying precisely where in the world any 'al-Qaeda' video or audio message had been uploaded to a server. With his military Intel background, surely he could then notify the recruits manning the predator drones in the CIA's Arizona bunker? Apparently not, because the stars of all these 'al-Qaeda' videos are still at large, after 10 years, and the only people receiving the predator's special brand of freedom and democracy are innocent Afghan and Pakistani villagers. Although I shouldn't be too hard on the Intel Center guys, they are clearly a talented bunch, after all, it takes serious intel savvy to predict the release of an 'al-Qaeda' video in advance!

New Al Qaeda Tape to Be Released

July 05, 2006

Al Qaeda is set to release a new video tape featuring one of the suicide bombers from last year's London attacks, according to Ben Venzke at the IntelCenter. Venzke says the as-Sahab production house will be putting out a tape on the Internet sometime Thursday that includes a video last will and testament of Shahzad Tanweer as well as a new statement from the al Qaeda number two leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The tape is also expected to include former Californian Adam Gadahn, who now goes by the name of Azzam al-Amriki. Gadahn is believed by U.S. authorities to be running the al Qaeda propaganda operation from a secret location somewhere inside of Pakistan.

If you'd like the inside scoop on when the CIA Intel Center 'al-Qaeda' plans to release another fascinating dispatch from the front lines of Langley 'Tora Bora', their 'Terrorism Threat Intel Package' can be yours for $1,499 per user per year. Really, it's well worth the money, they put a lot of effort into making these videos available. Consider, for example, the 2006 'al-Qaeda' video featuring Islamic terrorism's Mr Magoo, Ayman al-Zawahiri. After its release, the video was analyzed by computer security consultant Neil Krawetz. During a presentation he gave at the BlackHat security conference in Las Vegas in 2007 about analyzing digital photographs and video images for alterations and enhancements, Krawetz showed that the video had been altered in a very interesting way.

Using a program he wrote (and provided on the conference CD-ROM) Krawetz could print out the quantization tables (that indicate how the image was compressed) and determine the last tool that created the image - that is, the make and model of the camera if the image is original or the version of Photoshop that was used to alter and re-save the image.

This is the image from the video he analyzed.


A still from the the Intelcenter-faked "al-qaeda" video

After conducting his error analysis, Krawetz was able to determine that the writing on the banner behind al-Zawahiri's head was added to the image afterward and at the same time as the logo of Intel Center.

Hmmm...

Moving along. Remember al Zarqawi? He was the guy who almost single-handedly provoked 'civil war' in Iraq, or so we were told. Apart from the fact that he could barely shoot a gun, (here's a quick video clip)

there was also this from a few years ago:

How the U.S. Fuelled the Myth of Zarqawi The Mastermind

Adrian Blomfield
The Telegraph, UK
03 Oct 2004

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the terrorist leader believed to be responsible for the abduction of Kenneth Bigley, is 'more myth than man,' according to American military intelligence agents in Iraq.

Several sources said the importance of Zarqawi, blamed for many of the most spectacular acts of violence in Iraq, has been exaggerated by flawed intelligence and the Bush administration's desire to find "a villain" for the post-invasion mayhem.

US military intelligence agents in Iraq have revealed a series of botched and often tawdry dealings with unreliable sources who, in the words of one source, "told us what we wanted to hear".

"We were basically paying up to $10,000 a time to opportunists, criminals and chancers who passed off fiction and supposition about Zarqawi as cast-iron fact, making him out as the linchpin of just about every attack in Iraq," the agent said.

"Back home this stuff was gratefully received and formed the basis of policy decisions. We needed a villain, someone identifiable for the public to latch on to, and we got one.

None of which prevented the mainstream media from regaling us with this the other day:

British blunder may have let al-Qaida kingpin Zarqawi go free

British troops came close to capturing al-Qaida's top commander and the occupation forces' most wanted target in Iraq - but the operation collapsed after the only surveillance helicopter ordered to monitor him [followed him for 15 minutes and then] ran out of fuel and had to return to base, secret military intelligence logs suggest.

If I had a penny, (or a no-bid US govt. contract to rebuild a formerly flourishing Middle Eastern nation) for every time I've read about how close the US or British military came to catching [insert name of your favorite Islamic terrorist] only to have him somehow miraculously slip away, I'd be at least as rich as Tony Blair. But sadly, my chances of getting a no-bid US govt. contract are about as slim as Osama bin Laden after ten years living with kidney failure in a cave in Afghanistan, so I suppose I'll just have to grin and bear the ignominy of having my intelligence insulted with further fantastic tales of terrorist Houdinis. It's still kind of rude though. I mean, the official story of al Zarqawi's life was ridiculous enough, but the story of his death must surely have provoked a massive bout of cognitive dissonance in even the most eager believer in Western benevolent militarism.

Here's a little recap for your edification:

The official file on Zarqawi, whose real name was Ahmad Fadil al-Khalayleh, tells us that he was born in Jordan. Barely literate, he became a petty criminal until the call to arms came with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. After his time in the terror training camps of Afghanistan Zarqawi returned to his home with a radical Islamist agenda. The interesting part of his file, the part that is generally omitted from such reports, is that the training camps in Afghanistan before and during the soviet invasion of that country that Zarqawi attended, were funded and run by the CIA, making Zarqawi and others like him, assets of the US government.

Consider the words of Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser, in an interview in the 15-21 January 1998 edition of Le Nouvel Observateur

Question: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs ["From the Shadows"], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?

Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise. Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.

Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it?

B: It isn't quite that. We didn't push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.

Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today?

B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.

Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?

B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.

B: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.

Zarqawi was on the CIA's books for over twenty years by the time the Neocons came to power in 2000. When 9/11 just happened to gift them the 'casus belli falsus' to beat them all, they immediately went about the task of gathering together a group of likely fundamentalist Islamic patsies to take the rap for the Neocon's war on fake Islamic terrorism, which wasn't a war at all but rather the bludgeoning of millions of innocent people in the Middle East and S.E Asia in the interest of Empire or, to be more precise, the externalization of the Neocon's psychopathology.

At 6am on June 7th 2006, a U.S. airforce F-16 dropped two 500lb bombs on a single isolated safe-house outside the city of Baqubah, 30 miles northwest of Baghdad, where, we are told, Zarqawi was staying with 5 comrades. In doing so, the NeoCons sacrificed a valuable 'Islamic terrorist' bogeyman. That is not to say, however, that Zarqawi was actually in that "safe house".

Here's an image of the house before it was bombed:



Now, have you ever seen the effects of a 500lb bomb? Have you ever seen the effects of two? Have a look:

Here's an image of what was left of the house:



Now remember, we were told Zarqawi was in that house at the time of the bombing.

So after two massive pieces of ordinance were dropped, essentially on his head, this is the condition in which US troops allegedly found him



An abrasion on his cheek and a cut on his forehead and above his left eye. Is that ok then? Good.

So the question is, or rather, the question I am asking myself right now is: why am I even saying any of this? What's my point? Do I even have one? The main reason for this little trip down the memory hole is Julian Assange. You see, I hold him (and what's left of his Wikileaks shop front) responsible for the fact that I couldn't just stop at Adam Gadahn/Pearlman. You're probably aware that Wikileaks has released yet another armored truck-load of 'war logs', this time from Iraq, among which was the above tale of Zarqawi's fortuitous escape from the clutches of the British. In this most recent download, the mainstream media has, once again, been gifted with a plethora of 'logs' that allow them to do three main things:

1) Dig up and retell the officially fabricated history of Muslim terrorists and terrorism

2) Remind the world that Iran is really to blame for everything

3) Reveal selected isolated stories of complicity in torture and killing of civilians by US and British forces and thereby provide Wikileaks' bone fides as an honest anti-war organisation, despite the fact that much worse abuse had already been exposed long ago.

And so, I'm forced to try and set the record straight.

Number 1: has already been dealt with above:

Number 2:

Wikileaks: how Iran devised new suicide vest for al-Qaeda to use in Iraq

Iranian-backed forces supplied insurgents attacking coalition troops and devised new forms of suicide vests for al-Qaeda, according to assessments released by Wikileaks.

Number 3

Wikileaks Iraq war logs: US turned over captives to Iraqi torture squads

Before anyone had heard of Wikileaks:

US soldiers shoot and kill Iraqi shoe thrower

US military admits soldiers killed unarmed Iraqi civilians

US military says it shot and killed a young Iraqi girl

US soldiers charged with murder over baiting of Iraqis

US Soldiers Murder Iraqi Women and Children In Reprisal Attack

Haditha victims' kin outraged as Marines go free

Soldiers 'hit golf balls before going out to kill family'

US soldiers smiled before killings in Iraq: witness

Iraqi women killed at US checkpoint

US Soldiers Danced Around Dead Iraqi Civilians

Added to this is the fact that, conveniently for the US military, the Wikileaks documents also affirm that most civilian deaths in Iraq have been caused by Iraqis and that the total number of Iraqi civilians who died as a result of the US invasion is a little higher than the official number recognised by the US government. In all, the Wikileaks documents claim an extra 15,000 civilians were killed, bringing the total to about 100,000. Assuming no one in the mainstream media or Wikileaks dares to mention the most reliable estimates of over 1 million excess Iraqi civilian deaths as a direct result of the invasion, both the Pentagon and Wikileaks can feel content that they've done their job.

Ground Zero Mosque? Stone Me! It's a Shiny Iranian Drone!

Iran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Sunday inaugurated the country's first domestically-built, long-range, unmanned bomber aircraft, calling it an "ambassador of death to Iran's enemies.

Oooh! it's gold and shiny!

Ya know, I'm sort of getting tired of all this. There isn't going to be an attack on Iran any time soon, and Israel, the US and the Iranians know it. That's why they're all having so much fun. The major reason all of the sabre-rattling is going on is for OUR benefit, to keep humanity afraid, corralled and controlled, physically, mentally, emotionally and therefore, indirectly, spiritually.

Check out this link from a rabid, brain-dead right-winger in the US. It's about the "ground zero Mosque". Scroll down and look at the pictures from a recent demonstration. Read the slogans on the placards etc.

These people's understanding of what is really going on in the world is so abysmal, so utterly wrong, that it's 'not even wrong'!

This is why civilisations and entire species disappear. When "consciousness units" reach a certain point of saturation with an entirely false and illusory perception of what actually IS, they are moved to the obsolete list. They no longer serve any purpose from the point of view of creation. They MIGHT survive and find a place for themselves in the grand scheme of things IF they had the power to manifest and maintain a world where their own illusions were actually real, but folks down here don't have that power. The only reason they are still around is because they are not entirely to blame, they have, after all, been deceived by others into believing what they believe, but even the universe has a limit to its patience.

So all of a sudden we have "ground zero Mosque" and stories like that of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the Iranian woman who has been "saved from stoning" in Iran. Does ANYONE think it is a coincidence that these stories appear as the US and Israel are banging the war drums about Iran and its non-existent/no threat whatsoever, nuke program? Just look at these stories and REALISE just how controlled our world and our perception of it is.

But let's look on the bright side; the situation is SO bad that, for the next 6 months, when you see ANY stories that paint Muslims or Iran in a negative light, you can very safely assume, without any investigation (if you so choose), that they are 100% false. In fact, you can back-date that advice...oh, about 100 years.

For the record:

On the Mosque:

People who may or may not be Muslim purchased property. It is an abandoned Burlington Coat Factory, about 2 blocks from Ground Zero. There are no plans for a Mosque there.

On the stoning:

Iran doesn't stone anyone. It doesn't appear as a punishment on their penal books.

Mainstream Media and Government Are Not Credible

Two things to remember:

Number 1:

It has been proven that the US, British and Israeli governments and affiliated 'intelligence' agencies deliberately lied about the Iraq war and the 'war on terrorism' in general. It is not about terrorism, it is (largely) about oil and control of that vital resource. Any testimony from the the US, UK or Israeli governments and 'Intelligence' agencies about the war on terrorism should therefore be automatically rejected as not credible.


Number 2:

Don't expect the mainstream media to ever admit the truth about the Iraq war or that which led to it. The mainstream media's promotion of the Bush government lies about the Iraq invasion means they are complicit in the murder of more than 1 million Iraqi citizens. Like any accomplice to a crime, they will do all they can to hide their culpability.

CIA's Man 'Wins' Iraqi General Election

"I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows, that the Iraq war is largely about oil" - Alan Greenspan former head of the Federal Reserve

Tin-pot Iraqi dictator-in-waiting, Ayad Allawi was the US-appointed 'interim-Iraqi Prime Minister' for 9 months in 2004-5. Today he defeated incumbent Nouri al-Maliki to the position of Prime Minister by 10,000 votes according to reports.

Now there's one more CIA stooge ruling over yet another formerly sovereign nation and people.

Under CIA direction he ran an exile organization, the Iraqi National Accord, in the early 1990s that sent agents into Baghdad to plant bombs and sabotage government facilities in an effort to depose Saddam Hussein. Their targets included a mosque, a movie house and a newspaper -- the latter strike killing a child passing by. Ex-CIA operatives said a bus full of schoolchildren was also blown apart.

As interim Iraqi Prime minister in 2004-5, Allawi was responsible for operating death squads out of the Iraqi interior ministry in an effort to divide Iraqi society and create the appearance of 'civil war' between Iraq's Sunni and Shia populations and thereby divide and conquer the Iraqi resistance to US occupation lead by Moqtada al Sadr.

On Thursday 14 October 2004, Allawi stated: "[w]e have asked Fallujah residents to turn over al-Zarqawi and his group. If they don't do it, we are ready for major operations in Fallujah". Fallujah, a city of 300,000 people was then mercilessly bombed. Tens of thousands of innocent civilians were killed, many of them horribly burned with illegal white phosphorus shells.

In 2004 it was reported that Allawi personally executed six bound 'insurgents' - ordinary Iraqis fighting US occupation.

On at least one occasion in 2004 Allawi personally intervened to prevent a ceasefire and peace talks with the Iraqi resistance because he realised that any just peace settlement in Iraq would, by popular mandate, not include either him or his CIA masters in a controlling position.

In 2005 arrests were issued for Allawi and 27 of his former 'ministers' in the interim government over the alleged disappearance or misappropriation of $1 billion in military procurement funds.

With Allawi as Prime Minister, Iraq will be more secure as the latest trophy in the American Empire's cabinet, as will the the illegal contracts originally signed by Paul Bremer in 2004 to give all of Iraq's resources to American companies.

MI5 Picks Up 'Chatter' - Invents 'Boob Bombers' - Media Likes It

Strange things, such strange and stoopid things...



Back in February this year, we were treated to the ridiculous story of 'Terrorists With Explosive Breast and Implants', although at that point the story appears not to have been given much in the way of wide-spread coverage.

Fast forward to the end of March and amid reports that the images of your private parts taken by airport scanners are not exactly private and resistance to the use of the scanners on the rise, the follow story broke:

Woman 'ogled': airport worker warned over body scanner use

A security worker at London's Heathrow Airport has received a police warning and faces disciplinary action over claims he ogled a female colleague using a full-body scanner, officials said yesterday.

The 25-year-old worker made lewd comments after his colleague Jo Margetson, 29, mistakenly strayed into the scanner, which can see through clothes to produce an image of the body, the Sun newspaper reported.

Ideally this story would have been used by the mainstream press to represent the growing public consensus that the scanners are a serious breach of privacy, but this is no ideal world, and the mainstream press has long since been little more than the government's press office. The very same day then that the 'Ogling' story broke, for some cynical reason, mainstream media outlets chose to revisit the 'Boob bomber' with a vengeance. Google "breast implant bomb" and you'll see that virtually all reports are from the 24th and 25th of March.

As to the very idea of boob and butt bombers, that apparently came courtesy of England's private army, MI5/MI6, by way of right wing pundit and editor of Worldnetdaily Joseph Farah who originally published the claim on his news outlet back in February. Apparently Farah then spoke to the UK Sun tabloid newspaper and the story got new legs, breasts and buttocks. The Sun reported that, after the Christmas knicker bomber farce, MI5 "picked up chatter" that led them to the belief that boobs might be the new bombs. If this is true, then it's probably not, given that English 'intelligence' agencies have a long track record of telling humongous porkie pies about terrorism.

Clearly the crotch bomb was a failure. Would boob or buttock bombs fare any better? It's unlikely. First of all is the fact that the would-be bombers body would absorb most of the blast. Secondly you have the problem of how to detonate the fantastical device. "Excuse me madam, what is the purpose of those wires attached to your bosom?" You get the picture. It's all for your entertainment, or your brainwashing, depending on how informed you are.

Porn -- Watching Bruised, Drugged Prostitutes

Editors note: I personally don't believe that getting mainstream religion is a positive thing, but in this case, whatever works. Porn is an affliction on the human mind and soul, and it is widely and actively promoted by the powers that be.


February 22, 2010
David Richards

(for HenryMakow.com)

(David Richards, 22, is a Uk citizen teaching English in China. See his personal statement at end.)

Shelley Lubben (left) believed she was ready to shoot her first porn film. She was in for a shock: 'When I walked in, it's like a dark satanic anointing just fell on me. It was creepy, it was dark, it was eerie, and it was nothing like prostitution. I knew I was in the devil's territory; this was the final frontier of Satan.'

During the little satanic ritual that followed she hit rock bottom: 'I sold what was left of my heart, mind and femininity to the porn industry and the woman and person in me died completely on set.'

Then something remarkable began to happen; Shelley's survival instincts kicked in and she re-connected with the Christian God of her childhood and, after taking a long and slow period of rehab to recover from her ordeal, she started on a crusade to expose the reality of porn.

She has marketed herself as a charismatic public figure in the televangelist style, telling her life story in a confessional manner as an entertaining way to deliver her message. The hub of her operation is the Pink Cross, a charity that launches fierce grassroots activism and collects data on the industry.

There is one overriding truth to Shelley's work; behind whatever thin veil of glamour they might masquerade with: porn stars are prostitutes. Delete any notion in your mind of a glamorous 'porn star' now.

Using Shelley's research, I have written this article with the hope that it will act as a wake up call to men in the western world with an addiction to a quite pathetic act; self-pleasure to film footage of prostitutes at work.

Motivation

Porn stars rarely get started out of a free-willed love of sexual exhibitionism. Along with poverty and broken families, childhood abuse is very common.

Shelley said: 'Many actresses admit they've experienced sexual abuse, physical abuse, verbal abuse and neglect by parents. Some were raped by relatives and molested by neighbors. When we were little girls, we wanted to play with dollies and be mummies, not have big scary men get on top of us. So we were taught at a young age that sex made us valuable.'

Often they are teenage runaways picked up by pimps. They only escape one circle of abuse by entering another; they can't run from the pain so they go towards it. Fast forward a few years and they find themselves in a zombified state, drunk and drugged on a porn set as they re-live the same abuse they experienced growing up.

Shelley continues: 'The same horrible violations we experienced then, we relive through as we perform our tricks for you in front of the camera. And we hate every minute of it.'

Crissy Moran was a famous and 'successful' porn star. Did she enjoy it?

'I went through more heartbreak and became suicidal. I was taken to the hospital for panic attacks. I tried to overdose on xanax, strangle myself, and cut my wrists but not nearly deep enough. I was too scared of the pain. I prayed God would just take me away! I felt helpless. I even went to church for a few months but the guilt I felt was overwhelming that I would feel as if I were choking when I was at church. I had to choose and once again I chose to continue sinning. It was easier and I needed the money.'

Brutality

The brutality of most porn videos is obvious to anyone who has seen one. A typical film consists of one or more huge guys on steroids having violent sex with a girl.

Porn users only see a well-edited film. They don't see what happens behind the scenes; the girls that are crying and throwing up because they can't handle the hardcore acts they are being told to do. Jersey Jaxin explains what awaits you on set: 'Guys punching you in the face. You have semen from many guys all over your face, in your eyes. You get ripped. Your insides can come out of you. It's never ending."'

A girl's first time on camera can be horrific. She is disorientated under the bright lights and the sex is shockingly violent. The experience is more akin to an abusive alien abduction than a pleasurable sexual one. This is how Genevieve described her first scene:

'It was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was very scary. It was a very rough scene. My agent didn't let me know ahead of time... I did it and I was crying and they didn't stop. It was really violent. He was hitting me. It hurt. It scared me more than anything. They wouldn't stop. They just kept rolling.'

Her horror was in sharp contrast to the indifference of the crew.

'I had bodily fluids all over my face that had to stay on my face for ten minutes. The abuse and degradation was rough. I sweated and was in deep pain. On top of the horrifying experience, my whole body ached, and I was irritable the whole day. The director didn't really care how I felt; he only wanted to finish the video.'

Whatever artifice of control the girl had is now removed and Lubben has described what is left as 'traumatised little girls living on anti-depressants, drugs and alcohol acting out our pain in front of YOU who continue to abuse us.'

Drugs

The sex you see in porn is a lie; sexual enhancement drugs are used on set. 'Drugs are huge. They're using viagra. It's unnatural. The girls will be on xanax and vicodin,' according to Sierra Sinn. No wonder the sex is so vicious.

Perhaps there should be a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen noting what drugs the performers are on: Gary is on Viagra and coke. Candy drank half a bottle of Jack Daniels and then smoked some crack. Enjoy the film.

Most porn stars take drugs, in fact they are often on film to pay for their habit. The girls are traumatised and get high to numb their pain, as Becca Brat will tell you: 'I hung out with a lot of people in the Adult industry, everybody from contract girls to gonzo actresses. Everybody has the same problems. Everybody is on drugs. It's an empty lifestyle trying to fill up a void.'

However it is a void that cannot be filled, and as the drug abuse spirals more and more out of control their lives get dangerous. Brat said: 'I became horribly addicted to heroin and crack. I overdosed at least three times, had tricks pull knives on me, have been beaten half to death - the only reason I am still here is God.'

Ask a young guy when he last saw a drug addict; chances are he pleasured himself while looking at one that very morning.

Disease

It should be no surprise that sexual diseases are at pandemic level in the porn industry.

With chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and herpes being passed from performer to performer there is a backdrop of sickness to a porn set. In fact, they often act as laboratories for the creation of whole new sexual diseases, such as the novel herpes of the throat.

When disease is added to the already traumatic nature of being a porn actress, it can all get too much, as Tamra Toryn found out: 'I caught a moderate form of dysplasia of the cervix and later that day, I also found out I was pregnant. I had only one choice which was to abort the baby during my first month. It was extremely painful emotionally and physically. When it was all over, I cried my eyes out.'

Most performers develop some form of incurable sexual disease during their career and some are killers; AIDS is still loose in the industry. Every time a performer steps in front of the camera they are playing Russian roulette with their lives.

Lara Roxx got HIV on film without knowing the risks. She said: 'We should think about these issues right now, to change stuff around to make this a safer f**kin' business. It isn't a safe business, and I thought it was, and I would not have done that scene with no condom with Darren James if it would have crossed my mind that those tests weren't good and that I couldn't trust him or the people he's been with. I thought porn people were the cleanest people in the world.'

There is nothing clean about porn; it is diseased prostitutes having sex with other diseased prostitutes.

It is incredible to realise that it has become the norm for young men to grow up watching videos of trafficked women being abused for their amusement. It is legitimised by the silence of the media, education system and religious groups, who rarely denounce it.

A porn habit can terribly pollute a man's image of women and sex. He will become cynical and believe that any nice qualities a girl has mask her true essence; the whore he sees on screen.

Shelley was that girl on screen. It nearly killed her. What saved her was spiritual elevation to a state where she could make judgments on good and evil. When she awoke to see demons running amok in the sex industry, she finally had the strength to leave it.

This is her most important lesson: to reclaim what is right and wrong and start imposing it on our amoral culture.

David is a 22 year old British man. He writes: "My generation have been conditioned to accept porn from a young age.... In primary school I even remember my classmates having soft porn material and phoning sex lines. Then, growing up watching porn online was sort of 15, 16 onwards all the way through university was normal for all the guys my age.

This was all normal to me. What set alarm bells ringing was that I went to a college in university with a diverse range of foreign students and met girls form India, Kenya, China, Japan, Ghana and so on and they were very different. They warmer, more gentle and caring than english girls and thought english guys acted like sexual animals. So I had to figure out why we were like that and porn is the main reason. I dated a chinese girl, she was caring and presumed we would always be together, for my english generation that's dinosaur thinking, but when with her I suddenly felt tremendous stability for the first time in my life. She would care and love me no matter what and I felt free to focus on my two main passions, politics and music. I then realised how much pornography and lack of stable relationships were making men too obsessed with sex to focus on anything important. So I came to the conclusion porn was an attack on us."

Mossad Psychopaths Behind Murder of Hamas Official In Dubai

Above, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh exits the elevator on his floor in the Al-Bustan Rotana hotel, Dubai. Moments later he will be murdered by Mossad agents hiding in his room.

Israel is a young nation, yet its intelligence apparatus has a long and sordid history. From staging Muslim terror attacks in Egypt in 1954, to orchestrating 'Arab' terrorist hijackings in 1976, to directing 'al-Qaeda' terror attacks in 2006, there seems little that the Mossad will not do in an effort to give legitimacy to the Israeli government's slow genocide of the Palestinian people and bolster the American government's phony 'war on terror'.

That the Mossad eagerly assassinates all enemies of Israel (real, imagined and fabricated) is generally accepted, if not condoned, but the details of precisely how agents go about their dirty work has remained sketchy to say the least, with the revelations of former agents like Victor Ostrovsky the most reliable reference. The recent murder of Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in a Dubai hotel, however, gives a never-before seen inside look at the extent to which the Mossad operates 'by way of deception'.

Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found dead in his Al-Bustan Rotana hotel room in Dubai by hotel staff on Janurary 20th 2010. Several coroners reports claimed that al-Mabhouh had been tortured and killed either by electrocution to the head, strangulation, poisoning, suffocation or by way of a pill that provoked a heart attack.

The unsavory affair developed in the following way:

Mahmoud al-Mabhouh arrived in Dubai at 3:15pm on January 19th on some unknown business. The previous night the Mossad assassination squad had arrived from different destinations and settled into their respective hotels. al-Mabhouh was being followed so closely that even as he exited immigration in the airport he was forced to walk around a Mossad assassin with an luggage cart. He checked into his hotel and went out for several hours. At around 8 pm two Mossad agents gained access to his room and prepared themselves. al-Mabhouh arrived back at 8:24 pm and went up to his room. During this time at least 4 different two-person Mossad surveillance teams had been watching his every move, including dressing up as tennis players and riding in the same elevator as him when he initially arrived at the hotel and following him to his car when he left. Throughout, the 11 individuals were in constant communication by way of "special communication devices". When al-Mabhouh arrived back and went to his room he was followed by two agents (a man and woman) who kept watch in the corridor while their comrades plied their grisly trade. At 8:46 pm the execution team has left the hotel. By 11 pm, less than 20 hours after they had arrived, all were on planes out of the country.

Dubai police initially pointed the finger at Israel, which seemed logical given Israel's historic targeting of Palestinians individually and collectively. It's interesting to note that it was the Israeli media that first reported on January 31 that this was an Israeli operation, specifically that "a four-person squad of Israeli Shin Bet and Mossad operatives arrived in Dubai on European passports". This perhaps prompted Dubai's chief of police to announce on February 5 that Dubai would seek an arrest warrant for Netanyahu himself:

Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Dubai's police chief, claimed that the dead man was killed using methods known to be employed by Mossad, Israel's foreign intelligence agency. He added that Mr Netanyahu would be held personally responsible if Mossad was identified as the culprit.

"Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will be the first to be wanted for justice as he would have been the one who signed the decision to kill al-Mabhouh in Dubai," Gen Tamim told The National, an English language newspaper in Dubai.

"We will issue an arrest warrant against him."

General Tamim next released CCTV footage of the 11 suspects that detailed how, over the course of 20 hours, they went about the job of identifying, following and ultimately murdering al-Mabhouh. With their work done, the Mossad agents left to several different destinations including, Hong Kong, South Africa and Germany. Based on telephone calls that members of the group made while in Dubai, authorities there suspect that Austria was their "command center".

Within the last few days however, the Dubai authorities released the passport details of the suspects and are now looking for six British citizens, three Irish citizens, one French citizen and one German citizen! It's hard to know if the Dubai regime is simply unaware of the Mossad's history of stealing the identities and passports of innocent people, or if they are deliberately attempting to divert attention from the obvious culprits. After all, it was just 6 years ago that Uriel Kelman and Eli Cara were caught by New Zealand police attempting to use the identity of a mute tetraplegic New Zealand man to get a passport for a third Mossad agent, Zev Barkan. And it was just two years before that, in 2004, that the Sydney Morning Herald revealed that the very same Zev Barkan, identified as a "fugitive Israeli Mossad intelligence agent", had been dealing with Asian criminal gangs to obtain Australian and other passports stolen in Asia.

Barkan has been named by New Zealand authorities as the kingpin in a passport scam for which two Israelis with Australian links were jailed for six months last week in Auckland.

One of the jailed men, Eli Cara, 50, had his rented home in Turramurra raided by ASIO in March. A short time later, he was arrested in New Zealand.

The New Zealand Government has named Barkan, Cara and the other convicted man, Uriel Kelman, as Mossad agents.

Barkan fled New Zealand before police swooped. There are unconfirmed reports that Barkan, allegedly using a fraudulent Canadian passport, has since made visits to North Korea.

The New Zealand aid worker, who has intelligence connections in Asia, said Barkan was also connected to an Israeli security company operating out of Thailand.

"He goes to Laos, Cambodia, Burma and Thailand and deals with gangs who rob tourists of their valuables and passports", the aid worker said.

"Barkan is mostly interested in passports and there have been a number of Australian passports."

Intelligence analysts in New Zealand believe Barkan, a former navy diver in the Israeli Defence Force, was trying to secure a "clean" passport for use in a sensitive Israeli undercover operation in the region, less risky than a forged passport.

The Herald has also been told that Barkan had grown up in Washington as Zev Bruckenstein, where his father was director of religious studies at a synagogue.

The fact that Mr Barkan and therefore the Mossad, were keen to get ahold of Australian passports in 2004 is very interesting. On Valentine's day 2005, former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was murdered, in all likelihood by the Mossad, in a massive car bomb in downtown Beirut. I wrote about the details of the attack and why the Mossad were the obvious culprits in this editorial. What I was unaware of at the time was that the Lebanese authorities were looking for twelve Australian men in connection with the attack. Or rather, twelve men carrying Australian passports.

In 1997 Canada pulled its ambassador from Israel after two Mossad agents were caught using Canadian passports during a failed assassination attempt on Hamas official Khalid Mashaal, a leading Hamas official in Jordan. And then there's this from 1987, as reported by the New York Times:

Britain said today that Israel had admitted using fake British passports, and a newspaper said the documents were intended to help agents of the Israeli secret service attack foes abroad.

The Foreign Office said it made a strong protest last October to the Israeli Ambassador, Yehuda Avner, about ''misuse by the Israeli authorities of forged British passports". It said Israel later apologized and promised not to do it again.

The Sunday Times said in a front-page article on February 17th that eight fake British passports intended "for Mossad secret service hit men to attack opponents abroad were discovered by chance last summer in a bag inside a telephone booth in West Germany."

So are we to assume that the Dubai police are incapable of putting these puzzle pieces together? Or is it a case of Israeli government pressure once again forcing justice onto the back burner?

There was more than a hint of irony in the Dubai government's call for Interpol to help to track down the gang of assassins. For it was just a few weeks ago that Interpol Secretary-General Ronald Noble declared passport fraud as 'the biggest threat facing the world'. "Right now in our database we have over 11 million stolen or lost passports. These passports are being used, fraudulently altered and are being given to terrorists, war criminals, drug traffickers, human traffickers", he said.

Unfortunately, Mr. Noble and Interpol don't seem to be looking in the right places.

In any case, both the British and Irish governments wasted no time in stating that they had no record of passports being issued to the names provided by the Dubai authorities. In short, the passports are faked, as are the names (or most of them) but naturally the pictures on them are the real Mossad operatives. Have a look:

Above, Roll of ignominy, from left to right, top to bottom - 'Evan Dennings' - 'Irish'. 'Gail Folliard' - 'Irish'. 'James Leonard Clarke' - 'British'. 'Jonathan Louis Graham' - 'British'. 'Michael Bodenheimer' - 'German'. 'Paul John Keeley' - 'British'. 'Michael Barney' - 'British'. 'Peter Elvinger' - 'French'. 'Kevin Daveron' - 'Irish'. 'Melvyn Mildiner' - British'. 'Stephen Hodes' - 'British'.

It should be noted that the people above have undoubtedly disguised themselves to some extent. Just imagine all of the above individuals with or without glasses, beards, mustaches, short hair, long hair, differently colored hair, etc., in each case. From the CCTV footage provided by Dubai authorities we can at least be certain the decidedly masculine-looking 'Gail Folliard' is wearing a wig. See this link for larger versions of each person.

At the time of writing, three people have come forward to cry foul over the use of their names (but not their faces) in the operation - British/Israeli citizens Melvyn Mildiner, Paul Keeley and Michael Barney. All three have been living in Israel for several years. A resident of a town near Jerusalem, Mr. Mildiner insisted he had nothing to do with the assassination and had never been to Dubai.

"I woke up this morning to a world of fun", he said, after newspapers around the world splashed names and photos of the suspects distributed by Dubai.

"I am obviously angry, upset and scared - any number of things. And I'm looking into what I can do to try to sort things out and clear my name", he said in a telephone interview. "I don't know how this happened or who chose my name or why, but hopefully we'll find out soon."

Paul Keeley, 42, a builder originally from Kent who has lived on a kibbutz for 15 years, said: "It's scary when someone steals your identity. I'm in shock and I don't understand what I am seeing. It doesn't even look like me."

Michael Barney, 54, from North London but who emigrated to Israel many years ago, said "I've just had a quadruple heart bypass, I'm not exactly spy material."

Perhaps the three men should now reconsider their allegiance to the state of Israel. Then again, as members of that increasingly rare breed of person who choose to do 'aliya' to Israel, perhaps they are secretly proud that they (or at least their names) were of some use to the Mossad in their duplicitous campaign of phony terrorism and assassination.

The three men's surprise at finding out that they were temporary suspects in a Mossad operation on foreign soil, it is hard not to remember a similar incident about 8 years ago.

Remember this line up?



In the end, seven of the above alleged '9/11 hijackers' were officially confirmed as being alive and well and innocent of any involvement in the 9/11 attacks, with several of them expressing similar shock and surprise that their names (and in the case of 9/11 their faces too) were used by the 9/11 authors. While the world was being fooled with the greatest fake passport survival story of all time, no one was interested in the story of the group of Israelis doing the happy dance while filming the collapse of the WTC towers.

It is certainly interesting therefore to see these same passport shenanigans being employed in the Mossad murder of al-Mabhouh. Is it too much to suggest the possibility of a common source in both operations?

The story of the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh by a mysterious 'hit squad' is receiving an unusual amount of coverage in the mainstream press. There is however very little, if any, condemnation of the callous, cold-blooded murder of a man whose only real detractors are those who have been waging a war of annihilation against his people for decades. On the contrary, there is a palpable sense of glorification in the press (and in comments left by readers) of the 'skilled' way in which the Mossad went about their task. There is a sense of awe or respect for these psychopaths, a perverse respect which is closely tied to the acceptance by so many people in Western nations of wholesale killing of Palestinians and Muslims in general.

When we really look at what these deranged individuals did, the meticulousness with which they went about maneuvering another defenseless human being into a position where he could be silently murdered in a hotel room, fully sponsored and supported by major Western governments, in the name of 'freedom and democracy', we are left with a lingering and disturbing feeling that, somewhere along the way, we, as a civilization, have taken a seriously wrong turn. We, as a global civilization, appear to have taken a turn, firmly, into a world where psychopathic actions are not only the norm, but the ideal.

I leave you to judge for yourself. Below you can view the extensive CCTV footage (with notations) of the movements of the glorious Mossad assassination team. Note, there is no audio.
