Failed Diversion

Or, the rise and fall of an 'Al Qaeda' supervillain.
That sure was a bust and passed right by with a whimper. That Sheikh Mohammed fellow they dusted off after years in prison apparently was dragged into the limelight to offset a disastrous week for the fascists, and it was so transparently fake even Fox Noise has dropped it as a lead story.

They were seriously battered with that Walter Reed scandal, so much so that the army secretary and the top general at the hospital were very publicly sacked, something that just doesn't happen with the current crop of criminals. Deciderer faced public scorn and doubt for sending more troops into his meatgrinding clusterfuck and then it got more violent and dangerous. Libby's conviction gave them another black eye, and continued to pummel them with Plames testimony today in a capitol hearing room. There even seems to be another scandal brewing over how emails were sent that may be illegal.

The Sheikh was supposed to be another potent reminder of 9/11, somewhat of a triumph for Our Friends The Fascists in their never ending fight against Those Who Hate Our Freedoms. His spotlight and confession was also supposed to put to rest questions about a number of spurious 'incidents'. But immediately they blew it big time by announcing the guy was responsible for a sweeping number of Bad Things, a list so long and phonied up that it was laughed at all across the media spectrum. The kicker today was that KSM, as he's referred to by the military, supposedly boasted a target of his was the Plaza Bank in Seattle, which didn't exist until years after his arrest.

It certainly didn't take long for this obvious ruse to die a quick death. Fully three quarters of those taking a poll at CNN think it's hogwash. A quick look at MSM finds it missing as a top story. You know it won't get flogged anymore when even Drudge moves on.

This 'Sheikh' is just another in a long line of cartoon villains presented as criminal masterminds, representing an omnipresent and all powerful Enemy that we'll be at war with, well, forever. Useful stooges to dangle in front of us as an excuse to imprison us in a hellish fascist nightmare. They'll keep doing it; they'll never stop until they're stopped, but at least this time it blew up in their faces.

One of the banks that KSM allegedly planned to attack wasn't built for another four years after his incarceration. Now, you have to ask yourself if he had an ipod with FM or cable TV that was waterproofed.

He must have been psychic to want to destroy some place that didn't exist yet. This is the biggest load of manure yet from the propagandists.
