Crying Wolf: Terror Alerts based on Fabricated Intelligence

Michel Chossudovsky goes through a rather lengthy list of selected and likely fraudulent plots presented as foiled to the public. Starting with the latest farce to come out of Britain.

The British Home Office announced (August 10) that a “foiled terror plot” to simultaneously blow up as many as ten airplanes on transatlantic flights had been uncovered. So far Scotland Yard has not presented documentary evidence of this carefully coordinated suicide bombing operation.
Confirmed by media reports, there is no evidence that the arrested suspects had actually purchased plane tickets which would have enabled them to undertake this operation. Several of the suspects did not even possess a passport. (Craig Murray, 14 August 2006).
Meanwhile, the feasibility of the plot ( at a technical-scientific level) has been questioned. No chemical labs were discovered, which might have confirmed that the suspects had the prior knowledge or skills to manufacture a triacetone triperoxide ( TATP) bomb, let alone their ability to appropriately mix the deadly liquid chemicals on board a transatlantic flight ( Thomas C. Greene, 17 August 2006)

Moreover, much of the confidential information which led to the arrests of the British suspects by Scotland Yard was made available, courtesy of Pakistani Military intelligence (ISI), which coincidentally is known to have supported and financed the terror network including the Pakistani based Islamic groups which are allegedly behind the foiled UK plot.(Michel Chossudovsky, 15 August 2006).
The British and American corporate media are complicit. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is upheld as “a hero” for assisting in the foiled UK plot. Carefully omitted from most press reports, the London Police Anti-Terrorist Branch (SO13) headed by Peter Clarke together with MI6 and MI5 (which operates under the authority of Home Secretary John Reid) have been working hand in glove with a Pakistani based intelligence agency which has and continues to support the Islamic jihad including Al Qaeda, while also collaborating in a cozy relationship with its Western counterparts “in going after the terrorists”.

According to “reliable” intelligence transmitted from ISI headquarters in Rawalpindi, the explosive TATP chemical mixture “had been tested in Pakistan”, but the British based suspects “had not yet actually prepared or mixed it”.
