Where have we seen this before?

Dozens killed, over a hundred injured as bombs go off on a busy afternoon in a resort area in Bali. Immediately the whoring media and the vermin politicians get in front of a microphone and blame "Al Qaida"

While no evidence has emerged about who was behind Saturday's blasts in crowded restaurants packed with evening diners, Prime Minister John Howard said the "horrific attack has all the hallmarks of terrorism".

"Two of the nearly simultaneous attacks, which some investigators blamed on a group linked to al-Qaida, targeted a long row of popular seafood eateries along the white sand beach of Jimbaran." (Houston Chronicle)

"Bali Bombing Suspects Linked to al-Qaida" (Guardian UK)

As always when this sort of crap happens you have to look at who benefits. I've learned to see that when "Al Qaida" (read CIA/mossad) gets blamed for "terrorism", there's always an underlying story, probably several. The tipoff is the fuzzy reasoning. "They hate our way of life". "They need to destabalize the government".

But now there's a track record that can be looked at. A modus operandi, and the groups that benefit. For one thing, nothing helps to keep people fearful and compliant than blowing shit up. Keeping a fictitious terror group in the news is good business for those with an agenda. And money plays a good sized role in in these false flag attacks, when a designated patsy or group is immediately blamed.

Two things stood out soon after this happened. The Piglipstick investigative team notes that fuel subsidies in Indonesia were ended this month amid huge protests and widespread dissent - http://www.balidiscovery.com/messages/message.asp?Id=2764 Funny how blowing people up tends to knock stuff like that off the front page.

And contrary to the suicide bomber myth, with breathless tales of dismemberment and blood, there's this from the timesonline.co.uk - "Police later said they had found three unexploded bombs in Jimbaran. They had apparently failed to go off after the security forces hastily shut down the island’s mobile telephone network following the first blasts." Now just who has the expertise, equipment and track record of setting bombs off using mobile phones?

Just wondering.
