7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people;(ISRAEL) for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the LORD loved you,(ISRAEL) and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Yesha Leaders Write UN, Bible Records Israel as Jewish Land
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu MAY 4,2011
A letter to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon from Yesha Leaders explains that the Bible, the Quran, and international agreements document Israel as being the Land of the Jewish People.The signatories threatened to sue Ban if he continues to ignore the historical and legal facts enclosed in this letter and continues with the present unjust and illegal policies of the United Nations.Citing the Bible as recording for all time the awarding of the Land of Israel to the forefathers of the Jewish People by the Creator of the world,the letter tell Ban it gives him the opportunity to correct the deviation of the nations from international law in accordance with the responsibilities of your position and thus obviate the measures undoubtedly to be inflicted on those who act contrary to the Covenant of the Almighty with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.It was signed by Shomron (Samaria) Regional Council chairman Gershon Mesika, Beit El mayor Moshe Rosenbaum, Ariel Mayor Ron Nachman and other leaders.
They also wrote Ban, The entire Land of Israel was promised and granted to the Jewish People…as recorded time and again in the opening Five Books of the Hebrew Bible (e.g., Genesis 15:21; Deuteronomy 1:8 et al.), accepted by the adherents of the Christian faith whose Bible encompasses the aforementioned Books, and confirmed in various places in the holy book of Islam, the Quran (e.g., Sura 2 et al.).The document states,The letter attached herewith also expresses the expectation of its signatories that you, as Secretary-General of the United Nations, lead your organization to reaffirm the already recognized and eternally valid rights of the Jewish People as the sovereign over all parts of the Land of Israel presently under the control of the State of Israel – especially those sections of the Land – Judea and Samaria, mistakenly known also as the West Bank – liberated in June 1967 from the illegal occupation of the Kingdom of Jordan from 1948.Documents presented to Ban include the Balfour Declaration of 1917, that stated British policy of establishing a National Home for the Jewish People in Israel, then known as Palestine;The San Remo Resolution of April 25, 1920, by which the Principal Allied Powers of World War I recognized the sovereignty of the Jewish People over Palestine, just as they recognized the sovereignty of the Arab peoples over the territories of present-day Syria, Lebanon and Iraq; and The Anglo-French Boundary Convention of December 1920, demarcating the border between French-mandated Syria-Lebanon and British-mandated Palestine.The letter states that repeated references by the U.N. to the territories liberated by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War – territories until then illegally occupied by the Kingdom of Jordan – as occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) conceals from the public the true legal status of the lands to which you refer and causes the Jewish people unwarranted anguish.
Detailing the proof that all of Israel belongs to Jews, the latter points out that the United Nations General Assembly ignored Article 80 that guarantees Jewish legal rights in Israel, and instead recommended the Partition Plan of 1947, which the Arab League rejected by going to war against the fledgling State of Israel.The letter asserts that the Partition was never legal, was never of an obligatory nature, has been dead for over 63 years and cannot be resurrected.The signatories added, The very opposite is what is required of the U.N. at this time: to recognize the continuity of Jewish legal rights to the entire Land of Israel under Article 80 of the UN Charter.The time has undoubtedly come – in fact, it is long overdue, Mr. Secretary-General – for the international community as represented by the U.N. to recognize the fact that the Arabs of the Land of Israel do not want their own state, nor do they want to conclude a peace agreement with the State of Israel; all they desire is the destruction of Israel; the time has indeed come to reaffirm international recognition of the immutable rights of the Jewish People to all of their historical homeland.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

EU wins new powers at UN, transforming global body
LEIGH PHILLIPS 03.05.2011 @ 22:03 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy will now be able to address the United Nations no differently from US President Barack Obama, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez or Russia's Dimitri Medvedev.In order to win the vote, the EU had to agree to changes to the global organisation that transforms the UN from an assembly of nation states into a body that also offers representation rights to regional blocs as well, including potentially the African Union, the Arab League and the South American Union.The EU on Tuesday was given almost all the rights in the global chamber that fully-fledged states enjoy after the General Assembly backed 180 to two a resolution giving the bloc, which until this week only maintained observer status at the UN, the union the right to speak, the right to make proposals and submit amendments, the right of reply, the right to raise points of order and the right to circulate documents.There will also be additional seats put in the chamber for the EU's foreign policy chief, High Representative Catherine Ashton and her officials.Ashton and her team have lobbied heavily over the last six months, according to her representatives, with a major offensive in the last 48 hours by the high representative herself in New York, to push through the changes after the EU was dealt a surprise defeat last September when other regional blocs voted against a similar resolution.She declared herself delighted at the win, which, she said: "will in future enable EU representatives to present and promote the EU's positions in the UN.
Last year, two groups in the chamber resisted the move. The first, some of Brussels' closest allies in the world, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, consulted with each other and agreed to abstain on the original motion, according to one Commonwealth diplomat, as they were annoyed by the presumption of the EU, who had delivered the resolution for consideration the night before the vote. After half a year of consultations, the Commonwealth allies appear to have had their procedural concerns dealt with.But the second group, led by Caricom, the Carribean's regional integration bloc inspired by the EU, felt that it was unfair that Brussels should win additional rights but not themselves or other similar bodies, from the Gulf Co-operation Council to the Pacific Islands Forum.In order to win over these refuseniks, the EU had to back an amendment to the resolution, put forward by Hungary - currently at the helm of the bloc's six-month rotating presidency - that gives these other blocs the same rights Brussels has won, should they ask for them.
Following the request on behalf of a regional organisation which has observer status in the general assembly and whose member states have agreed arrangements that allow that organisation's representatives to speak on behalf of the organisation and its member states, then the general assembly may adopt modalities for the participation of that regional organisation's representatives,read the amendment.

Advisor to Abbas: Hamas Has No Need to Recognize Israel
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu MAY 4,2011
An aide to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who is set to sign a unity pact with Hamas on Wednesday, says the terrorist organization does not have to recognize Israel because Jerusalem does not recognize Hamas.Nabil Saath told Voice of Israel government radio Wednesday morning that Quartet demands that Hamas renounce violence and recognize Israel are unfair, unworkable and do not make sense. The Quartet is comprised of the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia.Concerning Hamas terrorist attacks, Naath reasoned that it is enough for the Quartet to know that Hamas will refrain from violence. The Gaza terrorist organization announced Tuesday at a preliminary signing of a unity agreement with Fatah that it will uphold a ceasefire with Israel. Dozens of announced ceasefires in the past have not lasted more than several weeks, if that long.Hamas hammered home the contradiction of its joining a unity government with Abbas, who is promoted by the West as a peace partner with Israel, by insisting it will never recognize Israel so long as it occupies land claimed by the Palestinian Authority.The definition of Palestine is questionable because the Palestinian Authority, while telling the West that it wants to live side by side with Israel, continues to disseminate maps in Arabic showing its proposed state to include all of Israel, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River and from the Lebanese border to Egypt in the south.
Separately, the Palestinian Authority stated Wednesday that it will stop all terrorist attacks on Israel. Officials did not explain how the PA security forces could prevent rocket and patrol road bombings originating in Gaza. Hamas staged a terrorist coup there four years ago, ousting Abbas’ Fatah-led faction from the region and in effect creating a separate Palestinian Authority besides the one based in Ramallah.The proposed unity pact calls for the Hamas army to be integrated into the new Fatah army, trained by American generals at a US-funded military base in Jericho.The unity agreement, despite Hamas’s hard-line stance and condemnation of the elimination of Osama Bin Laden, indicates that Abbas’s strategy is to promote unity at all costs. He apparently is banking on his drive to gain United Nations recognition of the Palestinian Authority as a new Arab country, based on all of the conditions in the 2002 plan proposed by Saudi Arabia.The 2002 initiative would result in Israel returning to what were supposed to be temporary Armistice Lines in 1949 and are erroneously called 1967 borders by the media, by ceding all of the land restored to the Jewish State in the Six-Day War in 1967, including the Old City in Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. These are indefensible borders, leaving Israel only several kilometers wide at Netanya. The Saudi plan also calls for Israel’s accepting the immigration of several million Arabs from foreign countries.(Israel National News.com)
EU exploring better relations with Hamas
ANDREW RETTMAN Today MAY 4,11 @ 08:13 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Some EU countries are open-minded about working with the new Palestinian unity government despite the fact Hamas advocates armed resistance against Israel.Rival Palestinian groups Fatah and Hamas are to sign the unity agreement in Cairo on Wednesday (4 May).A Fatah-linked Palestinian diplomat told this website last week the deal includes renouncing the use of violence against Israel. But speaking to EUobserver from Gaza on the eve of the Cairo ceremony, Gaza spokesman Ghazi Hamad said this is not the case.Hamad said the unity pact will focus on internal Palestinian problems, such as Gaza reconstruction, while leaving the Arab-Israeli conflict to one side. He noted that Hamas is becoming more moderate, but said there is no question of altering its official 1988 charter, which calls for the obliteration of Israel.Palestine is still under occupation and we will use all means necessary to liberate our people. If things can be solved by non-violence, we have no problem with that. But until now we have no reason to trust Israel or to believe that Israel is willing to end the occupation, he said.People talk about the Quartet conditions and the rights of the Israelis all the time. But they forget about the rights of the Palestinians. We are the victims here, he added. The Quartet's - the EU, Russia, the UN and the US - official position is that Hamas must renounce violence before being invited to talks.
Israeli diplomats are urging the EU to boycott the unity government on its existing terms. We're not asking for the world. Just for them to renounce violence. In European eyes, it should be more than natural to ask for that,an Israeli diplomat said. Meanwhile, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's statement on Tuesday denouncing the US killing of Osama Bin Laden did nothing to help the group's image in Brussels.
When asked if there is a prospect of the EU removing Hamas from its register of terrorist entities, a senior EU official said:With Haniyeh yesterday criticising the killing of Bin Laden there isn't going to be anyone arguing for taking them off the list.EU diplomats are waiting to see what the Fatah-Hamas unity document says in detail and who the new government appoints before taking a formal position at a foreign ministers' meeting on 23 May. Friends of Israel inside the union, such as the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, are against any flexibility on the Hamas charter.But an EU source noted that several other countries - including France, Spain and the UK - are more open on the issue. The contact pointed to EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton's cautious statement on the unity pact last week, recalling that Palestinian diplomats at the time remarked:You were the only ones who didn't condemn this agreement.A diplomat from a Nordic EU country added:It's important that we are not being negative. The key is to keep the peace process going on, and the unity government could contribute to that.Remarking on Haniyeh's Bin Laden statement, the source added: It doesn't have any deep value. It had to be said.
Khalid Turaani, a Palestinian activist with the Brussels-based group Inform, said it is unrealistic to expect Hamas to scrap its charter as a prerequisite for talks.
Hamas was created to resist the Israeli occupation. If you ask it to take out resistance you are effectively asking it to disintegrate itself. This could only happen as part of a final settlement,he said.The Arabic idea of hudna or temporary peace could be a way out for them for now.
Turaani added that Haniyeh's statement on Bin Laden was widely mistranslated. Haniyeh used the words muijahid Arabi which was reported as Arab holy warrior but means simply Arab fighter.Hamas in Gaza is battling a Salafist [Islamic extremist] movement which is gaining some traction. I disagree with it, but I think that's part of the reason he made the Bin Laden statement - to prevent the Salafists from exploiting Bin Laden's death.
Avoiding Double Standards on Osama Bin Laden
by Chana Ya'ar MAY 4,11
Former IDF chief of staff and foreign minister Shaul Mofaz has some advice for the United States, now that international al Qaeda terror chief Osama Bin Laden is dead.
Following Bin Laden's assassination last weekend by U.S. special forces in Pakistan, Mofaz has suggested the U.S. refrain in future from criticizing Israel for taking similar action.Mofaz, currently head of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, added he would like to see targeted killings used more often.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu praised the U.S. for its determined war on terror, calling the successful operation a resounding victory for justice.In the past, U.S. leaders and international heads of state have frequently criticized Israel when it has eliminated terrorists responsible for major attacks against its citizens.One of the most recent examples of such criticism came after the January 2010 targeted killing of senior Hamas terrorist Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, one of the group's founders and its top weapons buyer.Israel was vilified by numerous countries around the world for the killing, although its foreign intelligence agency, the Mossad, has neither confirmed nor denied any connection with the operation. Two Israeli diplomats were expelled from London over the incident, due to claims by Dubai police the Mossad used forged British passports to carry out the assassination.
Other UK and commonwealth members who expelled Israeli diplomats over the issue included Ireland and Australia.Several terrorist cells in Gaza, including a number linked to the ruling Hamas terrorist organization, have ties to al-Qaeda, according to a U.S. document leaked earlier this year by WikiLeaks.Moreover, Bin Laden and his senior commanders have repeated expressed their support for the Palestinian Authority Arabs, particularly PA groups who dedicate themselves to the destruction of Israel.One report from the U.S. prison on Guantanamo Bay revealed a senior al-Qaeda terrorist incarcerated at the facility raised funds for attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

False flag-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time.(NOTICE EVERY TIME THERES A REAL TERRORIST ATTACK,THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS IS DOING A FAKE DRILL WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SAY IT WAS ONLY A DRILL IF THE ATTACK DOES NOT GO OVER WITH THE PUBLIC OR IF THE GOVERNMENT MUFFED UP THEIR OWN FALSE FLAG CONTROL FREAK,GET MORE CONTROL OF PEOPLES RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.)

Top Government Insider: Bin Laden Died In 2001, 9/11 A False Flag -Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations Steve R. Pieczenik says he is prepared to tell a federal grand jury the name of a top general who told him directly 9/11 was a false flag attack Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com May 4, 2011
Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, shockingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.Recruited by Lawrence Eagleburger as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Management, Pieczenik went on to develop,the basic tenets for psychological warfare, counter terrorism, strategy and tactics for transcultural negotiations for the US State Department, military and intelligence communities and other agencies of the US Government, while also developing foundational strategies for hostage rescue that were later employed around the world.
Pieczenik also served as a senior policy planner under Secretaries Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker and worked on George W. Bush’s election campaign against Al Gore. His record underscores the fact that he is one of the most deeply connected men in intelligence circles over the past three decades plus.The character of Jack Ryan, who appears in many Tom Clancy novels and was also played by Harrison Ford in the popular 1992 movie Patriot Games, is also based on Steve Pieczenik.Back in April 2002, over nine years ago, Pieczenik told the Alex Jones Show that Bin Laden had already been dead for months, and that the government was waiting for the most politically expedient time to roll out his corpse. Pieczenik would be in a position to know, having personally met Bin Laden and worked with him during the proxy war against the Soviets in Afghanistan back in the early 80′s.
Pieczenik said that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001,Not because special forces had killed him, but because as a physician I had known that the CIA physicians had treated him and it was on the intelligence roster that he had marfan syndrome, adding that the US government knew Bin Laden was dead before they invaded Afghanistan.Marfan syndrome is a degenerative genetic disease for which there is no permanent cure. The illness severely shortens the life span of the sufferer.He died of marfan syndrome, Bush junior knew about it, the intelligence community knew about it,said Pieczenik, noting how CIA physicians had visited Bin Laden in July 2001 at the American Hospital in Dubai.He was already very sick from marfan syndrome and he was already dying, so nobody had to kill him,added Pieczenik, stating that Bin Laden died shortly after 9/11 in his Tora Bora cave complex.Did the intelligence community or the CIA doctor up this situation, the answer is yes, categorically yes,said Pieczenik, referring to Sunday’s claim that Bin Laden was killed at his compound in Pakistan, adding, This whole scenario where you see a bunch of people sitting there looking at a screen and they look as if they’re intense, that’s nonsense,referring to the images released by the White House which claim to show Biden, Obama and Hillary Clinton watching the operation to kill Bin Laden live on a television screen.
It’s a total make-up, make believe, we’re in an American theater of the absurd….why are we doing this again….nine years ago this man was already dead….why does the government repeatedly have to lie to the American people,asked Pieczenik.Osama Bin Laden was totally dead, so there’s no way they could have attacked or confronted or killed Osama Bin laden, said Pieczenik, joking that the only way it could have happened was if special forces had attacked a mortuary.Pieczenik said that the decision to launch the hoax now was made because Obama had reached a low with plummeting approval ratings and the fact that the birther issue was blowing up in his face.He had to prove that he was more than American….he had to be aggressive, said Pieczenik, adding that the farce was also a way of isolating Pakistan as a retaliation for intense opposition to the Predator drone program, which has killed hundreds of Pakistanis.This is orchestrated, I mean when you have people sitting around and watching a sitcom, basically the operations center of the White House, and you have a president coming out almost zombie-like telling you they just killed Osama Bin Laden who was already dead nine years ago,said Pieczenik, calling the episode,the greatest falsehood I’ve ever heard, I mean it was absurd.Dismissing the government’s account of the assassination of Bin Laden as a sick joke on the American people, Pieczenik said, They are so desperate to make Obama viable, to negate the fact that he may not have been born here, any questions about his background, any irregularities about his background, to make him look assertive….to re-elect this president so the American public can be duped once again.Pieczenik’s assertion that Bin Laden died almost ten years ago is echoed by numerous intelligence professionals as well as heads of state across the world.
Bin Laden, Was used in the same way that 9/11 was used to mobilize the emotions and feelings of the American people in order to go to a war that had to be justified through a narrative that Bush junior created and Cheney created about the world of terrorism,stated Pieczenik.During his interview with the Alex Jones Show yesterday, Pieczenik also asserted he was directly told by a prominent general that 9/11 was a stand down and a false flag operation, and that he is prepared to go to a grand jury to reveal the general’s name.They ran the attacks,said Pieczenik, naming Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Hadley, Elliott Abrams, and Condoleezza Rice amongst others as having been directly involved.It was called a stand down, a false flag operation in order to mobilize the American public under false pretenses….it was told to me even by the general on the staff of Wolfowitz – I will go in front of a federal committee and swear on perjury who the name was of the individual so that we can break it open, said Pieczenik, adding that he was furious and knew it had happened.I taught stand down and false flag operations at the national war college, I’ve taught it with all my operatives so I knew exactly what was done to the American public, he added.Pieczenik re-iterated that he was perfectly willing to reveal the name of the general who told him 9/11 was an inside job in a federal court, so that we can unravel this thing legally, not with the stupid 9/11 Commission that was absurd.Pieczenik explained that he was not a liberal, a conservative or a tea party member, merely an American who is deeply concerned about the direction in which his country is heading.

Osama bin Laden Murder Fable: A Work in Progress
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com May 4, 2011
Like the official story on the attacks of September 11, 2001, the story on the supposed murder of Osama bin Laden is a work in progress.Obama’s cronies now say Osama was unarmed when he was cut down. Initially it was reported that the Evil One had fired an automatic weapon at attacking Navy Seals and so they had no choice but to double-tap him in the head. It was also said he had cowered behind the skirt of his wife and she was also killed. Both accounts turn out to be pure fantasy.
Carney backtracks — an hour of dissimulation and lies.The corporate media characterizes the on-the-fly story modifications as an embarrassing climb-down for Obama. Jay Carney told the Mockingbird corporate media that the tall tales came from the chief US counter-terrorism adviser, John Brennan, who put out the pablum with great haste.We provided a great deal of information with great haste in order to inform you about the operation. Some of the information is being reviewed and updated, said Carney. In short, the fairy tale is a work in progress.Elements met with skepticism will be pulled and more plausible and easily digestible lies inserted as the story moves through an on-the-fly editorial process. Discarded parts will be shuffled off to the memory hole. In the near future, the discarded parts will be dismissed as cynical conspiracy theories even though they appear on the pages of the New York Times and the crown jewel of Operation Mockingbird, the Washington Post. Eventually these remnants will be scrubbed from corporate media databases like disfavored Soviet bureaucrats were airbrushed out of the official history books by Stalin and his cronies.
It is not the job of the corporate media to question or ask for verification. It is the job of the corporate media to act as a megaphone for official lies like it did when Bush’s Pentagon neocons absurdly insisted Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. As a result of this fantastic and easily refutable lie, a million and a half people so far have died and millions more suffer daily from disease, malnutrition, poverty, and ongoing sectarian violence in Iraq.But even the usually compliant corporate media is now asking to see the video footage of the raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and images of bin Laden’s body in order to still conspiracy theories,that is to say the incredulity of an increasing number of people who are sick and tired of government lies.Alex Jones talks with James Corbett about the manufactured myth of Osama bin Laden’s murder.In response, Obama and his cronies hand picked by the globalists plan to treat the American people as children. The White House says that pictures of bin Laden’s body were too gruesome to be made public and would prove inflammatory for other Islamist groups, many of them intelligence agency knock-outs.In the days ahead we can expect more monumental propaganda as experts dissect what we are told is the hard drive of Osama bin Laden’s computer. Data on the hard drive is described as a the mother lode of intelligence.Instead, it will likely prove to be a mother lode of propaganda designed to keep the war on manufactured terror going forever.
BESA Expert: US May Pressure Israel After Bin Laden's Death
by David Lev MAY 4,2011
The elimination of arch-terrorist Osama Bin Laden is of course a blessed event for the entire world – but the removal of Bin Laden from the ranks of Al Qaeda terrorists has in no way reduced the threat from that group, or any other terror group – quite the opposite, says Prof. Eitan Gilboa of Bar-Ilan University's Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies.The elimination of Bin Laden by the U.S. has increased the motivation of Al Qaeda to conduct a high-profile attack, which is what they specialize in,says Gilboa,preferably in the U.S. or Europe.Of course, that assumes that Al Qaeda is still capable of carrying out such attacks.We have to remember that even though Bin Laden managed to survive for nearly a decade after 9/11, the U.S. has been looking for him and many other Al Qaeda terrorists since at least 1993 – after the failed first attack on the World Trade Center. During that time, and especially since 9/11, Al Qaeda's ability to conduct high-profile attacks has been significantly compromised, because the Americans have been picking off the organization's leadership little by little.Gilboa compares the Al Qaeda threats of revenge to those of Hizbullah, which for three years has vowed revenge on Israel for the death of top terrorist Imad Mughniyah.Israel never admitted that it had taken out Mughniyah, who was responsible for many terror attacks. Nevertheless they blame Israel and have vowed revenge – but so far, thank G-d, they have not undertaken the major attack they promise.Of course they would like to carry out such an attack, but apparently they are unable to – and it remains to be seen if this is the situation with Al Qaeda. Bin Laden's organization is much bigger than Hizbullah and still has several strong branches – notably in North Africa.
An Al Qaeda affiliated group was behind the attack at a coffee shop in Marrakesh, Morocco last week, as well as in Sudan, Yemen, and other countries.In addition, the defenses in Egypt and other countries have lightened, in the wake of the civil uprisings there, Gilboa added.That means it will be easier for Al Qaeda to infiltrate those places and cause mayhem.Obviously, the terrorist group would prefer to carry out an attack in the West, says Gilboa, but if conducting a terror attack in an friendly Arab country is their only option, they – or a sympathetic group that also wishes to make a name for itself – will take that opportunity, he adds.
While Israel and Jewish targets around the world are also on Al Qaeda's short list of terrorist targets, a perhaps more immediate concern is the pressure Israel is likely to face to come up with a new peace plan.U.S. President Barack Obama is now on a roll, and he will want to keep the momentum going,says Gilboa.The U.S. is just as concerned as Israel about the threats by the PA to take their case for statehood to the UN in September, and Washington is looking to Netanyahu to come up with a substantive plan to convince the PA to back down from that plan. There's no question Obama will be tougher on Israel.However, in line with the old saying by President Shimon Peres – that the Palestinians never lose an opportunity to lose an opportunity - Gilboa says that the American pressure may be somewhat mitigated by the planned reunification of Fatah and Hamas.This caught the U.S. by surprise as well, and they are not happy about it,he says. Although, as far as Washington is concerned, Al-Qaeda and Hamas are in two completely different leagues when it comes to terror, It would be very embarrassing for President Obama to have to work with an organization that condemns his greatest achievement, as Hamas did when it slammed Obama for murdering the martyr Bin Laden.On the other hand, the deal between Fatah and Hamas may fall apart,he says. There are too many unknown factors – but if things do work out between the two groups, and Hamas gets a major representation in the PA-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria, the U.S. will be less likely to put strong pressure on Israel.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Obama’s Announcement Only Fuels the Mythology of Bin Laden

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.
- Mark Twain (1897)
The mythology surrounding America’s public enemy number one took yet another bizarre turn this week as Washington announced that after ten years of searching they have finally located and killed their illusive adversary, Osama bin Laden. Unfortunately for US authorities however, this latest staged media event has created far more questions than it has answers.Indeed, The Washington Post did report Monday that bin Laden, the long-hunted al-Qaeda leader and alleged chief architect of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, was in fact killed on Sunday in what officials described as a Navy Seal-run surgical raid on his alleged luxury hideout in Pakistan.In a rare Sunday night address from the East Room of the White House, President Obama announced that small team of U.S. personnel attacked a compound in Pakistan’s Abbottabad Valley, where bin Laden is said to have been hiding. During a firefight, the U.S. team allegedly killed bin Laden, 54, and then took custody of his body. President Obama described the event as the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al-Qaeda, and seen as a significant turning point for global security and the War on Terror.According to US sources, this latest operation was made possible thanks to a trail of evidence that originated from Al-Qaeda detainees, which had led to the careful monitoring of a compound suspected to be Osama bin Laden’s Pakistani hiding place. This is an interesting statement planted by Washington into this story, as it will no doubt be used by authorities to justify the existence of Guantanamo Bay and similar gulag-like cites around the world- all of whose credibility in the area of gathering real terror intel has been rather poor to date.
Public confusion over body ID
Bin Laden’s body was then allegedly recovered by the U.S. military and kept in its possession until it was dumped at sea hours later. From here, the story begins to get very dicey. Both ABC News and the Associated Press have reported that the body has been identified by DNA testing using tissue and blood samples taken from his sister who died of brain cancer previously. However, Reuters reports that DNA test results will not actually be available for days still, and that his body was identified using facial recognition techniques.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q98-d51-Lbs] Patrick Henningsen on Russia Today: helping to deconstruct the myth of bin Laden.Adding to the confusion surrounding evidence of bin Laden’s death, US military officials are said to have immediately disposed of the body in the Arabian Sea, supposedly adhering to Muslim burial customs. Washington insists that they have photos and video of the body, but have yet to release them to the public.This means that, in theory, there can only be a limited number of actual witnesses and that there is no body to verify that it genuinely was bin Laden, leaving the public with only the government’s official version of events to believe. Confusion, not conclusion, will be the order of the day. It is likely that this tactic was an intentional one on the part of Washington, providing pundits and conspiracy theorists with an endless knot that will take decades to unravel.
Numerous past reports of bin Laden’s death
Since 2001, numerous reports and statements have been made confirming the death of bin Laden. Infowars chronicled a list of these incidents recently, reporting the following:Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure soon after the September 11, 2001, attacks.In 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said bin Laden had kidney disease, and that he had required a dialysis machine when he lived in Afghanistan. That same year, the FBI’s top counter-terrorism official, Dale Watson, said,I personally think he is probably not with us any more.A Taliban leader told the Pakistan Observer on December 21, 2002, that Bin Laden was suffering from a serious lung complication and died in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief, according to Fox News.
Alex Jones was told live on the radio in 2002 by high-level Council on Foreign Relations members that Osama Bin Laden had died of kidney failure in early 2002.“I have it from high level [sources] from inside the Bush administration…that bin Laden died of natural causes and that his family has given the body to the CIA, that they’re gonna roll him out right before the election, that he’s on ice right now. They will claim they killed him right before the election,” Alex said at the time. During the 2004 election, CNN reported that Democratic insiders had been told that George W. Bush was going to use the Bin Laden body as an ace-in-the-hole if he thought he was in danger of losing the 2004 election. This confirmed the evidence that Jones had been given by the CFR and others.
In 2003, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told Fox News Channel analyst Morton Kondracke she suspected Bush knew the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and was waiting for the most politically expedient moment to announce his capture.
Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in a suicide attack at the end of 2007, stated that Osama bin Laden had been killed by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a man convicted of kidnapping and killing journalist Daniel Pearl.

Predictable Results
With little to celebrate in the US where the US dollar is plummeting, unemployment numbers have reached record highs and government deficits are bleeding the public resources, Bin Laden’s reported death has provided something for American to celebrate with spontaneous celebrations erupting in places like New York City and Washington DC.With a system of which has grown into an institution since 2001, the security state’s reaction to the announcement of Bin Laden’s demise is as routine as it is predictable. For a public who has been trained to live in a perpetual state of fear, the alleged death of Bin Laden translates into a brief respite and opportunity to celebrate followed by yet another increase in the security apparatus.The result of this latest chapter in the Bin Laden saga has been an elevation in Terror Threat Levels. In near robotic fashion, all major news outlets are running identical talking points centred on authorities in Western countries who are advising vigilance against possible Al Qaeda strikes in retaliation to the death of Osama Bin Laden.Authorities are also advising that people avoid travel to areas where anti-western protests may erupt and also to avoid public gathering that might attract a revenge attack.RT: Questions are raised about the media’s reporting of latest bin Laden death.It wasn’t long ago that Wikileaks files were cited where Khalid Sheikh Mohammed told Guantanamo Bay interrogators the terror group would detonate the nuclear device if the al-Qaeda chief was captured or killed. The alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks is said to have warned that al-Qaeda has hidden a nuclear bomb somewhere in Europe which will unleash a nuclear hell storm if Osama bin Laden was ever captured.
Obama: A timely announcement
Broadcasters and pollsters will tell you that Sunday evening is the very best time to plant a story because most Americans are home, preparing to face another work week, and the largest percentage of Americans watch TV on Sunday evening. When President Obama finally made his statement about how he had located bin Laden and killed him in a firefight, the President proceeded to take no reporter questions.
Obama’s bin Laden moment: the President bolsters his wartime resume this week.The timing of this announcement certainly carries a high political value for a US administration soon entering a new Presidential election cycle in 2012. It could help to reposition a domestically unpopular President Obama as a competent military operator overseas.Obama outlined this epic chain of events during his Sunday address stating, Shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.The President then certified his War on Terror and military credentials explaining how he gave the order to kill, And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
In the world of modern US politics, the patriot card is the ace which can be produced during any speech or Presidential debate. Obama has clearly positioned himself as the man who will take credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden. The ten year anniversary for Sept 11, 2001 will take place this fall and it is certain that Obama will rehash this week’s glorious assassination from a podium at Ground Zero. Obama’s wartime resume will also be bolstered by this week’s event, a tool he will likely employ in the Democrat effort to effectively stave off any challengers from the Republican Party’s right wing next year.
Another state-sponsored assassination
In the wake of the infamous Iraqi WMD debacle and with tax payer confidence in the abilities of US Intelligence community at an all-time low, this latest announcement will be used by Washington to demonstrate that their agencies are indeed competent and can actually produce valid and actionable intel. In effect, Washington will use its latest campaign to wipe the old slate clean and build on this apparent victory, possibly with some future intel concerning prospective adversaries like Iran.This latest state-sponsored assassination also re-enforces the precedent of targeting foreign leaders outside of the boundaries of legal justice. Currently the US and NATO are carrying out a series of targeted extrajudicial killings in Libya, an effort that has already claimed the lives of Gaddafi’s immediate family and one which hopes to eventually eliminate Gaddafi himself.Both unusual and illegal as this may appear on its surface, the Western public has now become accustomed to seeing its governments carry out these high level state mafia-style hits, a rather bizarre trend for evolved Western civilisation. It goes without saying that in almost all of these cases, each of these high-profile victims could not be successfully brought in front of any real court of justice due to an acute lack of evidence against them. They amount to purely political targets who unfortunately will be denied the luxury of any proper investigation into the West’s charges against them.
A shift in focus towards new enemies
Amongst all the hype and revelry, it still seems rather implausible that Osama bin Laden has “been on the run” for nearly a decade. Authorities would like us to believe that it took the entire US military industrial complex 10 years to both locate and kill Osama Bin Laden, their sworn public enemy number one. What is more plausible is that this particular moment in time has in fact been chosen and the event has been staged and later choreographed for mass media consumption.Once the feel-good factor, public traction and the brief heightened state of alert has been spent, Washington and its NATO allies will be turning their sights further down field.Most significant, is that this new announcement could very well be signalling a shift in US and NATO war plans, gradually moving focus away from the War on Terror and repositioning US public angst towards a cadre of new nation-state enemy players. With both occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan still on the burner, US imperial aspirations overseas are already at near breaking point. Polls and historical trends also show that American voters will not likely want to switch their leadership during a hot military conflict, so we can expect that an expansion of ground troops could occur in Libya, or that a brand new operation could be launched as early as next spring 2012. On top of US and NATO agendas for prospective conflicts are clearly Libya (currently in progress), Iran and possibly Syria. Any one of these potential conflicts will require solid backing from the US public in order to ensure their launch and longevity.Mark Twain could not have scripted a better ending for this, the season finale of Osama On the Run. As events unfold in the coming months, educated members of the public will be able to better piece together the real behind significance of Sunday’s announcement and read the long-range foreign policy game plan of the US, Israel and their NATO allies. Watch this space.
No plans to stop prayer despite citizen’s request
MAY 3,11 SCOTT DUNN Sun Times staff
Grey County Warden Arlene Wright said she has no plans to stop opening council meetings with the Lord's Prayer, despite a citizen's request.There's no next step, Wright said in an interview. We dealt with it.Peter Ferguson addressed council Tuesday during a period reserved for public presentations. He requested county council to stop reciting religious prayers. He made the same plea by letter earlier.
Wright opened the meeting with an invitation for those assembled to join in the Lord's Prayer or take a moment for silent reflection, her traditional opening remarks, she said.Ferguson stood with hands in pockets and head up while some recited the prayer and others stood silently with bowed heads.During his remarks which harkened nostalgically back to his time as a choir boy, Ferguson said he was confirmed in the Anglican church but grew to conclude its tenets made no objective sense.Since then he has sought a world view that is rational.He said he's not yet a believer.He ended with a softly spoken injunction to the council to Be Christian by treating everyone with scrupulous equality.After a long pause, Wright asked Is that it?
A brief exchange followed in which Ferguson pressed Wright about what she planned to do now, then he left.Wright said in March she had no intention of changing the practice of starting Grey County council meetings with the Lord's Prayer unless someone raises it.Wright said Tuesday she meant it would be dealt with through county council and that was done.Wright said Ferguson's letter was presented April 12 at the appropriate county committee, finance and personnel, where Ferguson also appeared.The committee recommendation to note and file his letter, contained in the meeting minutes, was approved by county council Tuesday without comment.Wright said in the interview any of the councillors could have presented a motion to take the matter further and none did. Nothing was raised so it's done, it's over.Asked if she had checked with a lawyer to see whether opening council with a prayer is legally problematic, Wright replied: No but we figure if it's good enough for the provincial government to do in the morning and it's good enough for the federal government to do in the morning, then it's good enough for us.Ferguson said after the meeting it's as illegal to say prayers at council as it is in Parliament and he won't let the matter rest here. He wouldn't be specific about his next step.Aside from being warden, Wright is a long-serving member of Owen Sound council. Last month, a majority on council voted for newly elected Coun. Colleen Purdon's motion to no longer recite the Lord's Prayer before a council meeting but instead to replace it with a moment of silent reflection.The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in 1999 that reciting the Lord's Prayer at Penetanguishene council meetings violated a man's Charter right to freedom of religion.Article ID# 3107029

Lisbon, troika agree details of €78bn bail-out
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today MAY 4,11 @ 09:29 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Portugal's caretaker administration has reached an agreement with the troika of the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund for a three-year €78 billion bail-out.Prime Minister Jose Socrates made the announcement via televised address after three weeks of negotiations with officials from the international lenders.In return for the loan, Lisbon has had to agree to austerity measures similar to those rejected by parliament last month, which precipitated the downfall of Socrates' centre-left minority government and caused snap elections.The deal will include cuts to pensions, but the minimum wage, health care and schools will be unaffected, according to local media reports. The retirement age will also remain the same.
Crucially, the deal wins a longer period to reach its deficit reduction targets than had previously been envisaged.Portugal must cut its deficit to 5.9 percent of GDP by the end of 2011, then down to 4.5 percent in 2012 and three percent in 2013. The government's earlier schedule committed to cutting the deficit to 4.6 percent this year, to three percent in 2012 and to two percent in 2013.It is unclear whether the agreement will include support for the country's banks.Socrates declared the package a good, but demanding deal. The government has reached a good agreement that defends Portugal,he said.Naturally, there are no financial assistance programs that are not demanding, he continued.The times we live in continue to imply efforts and a lot of work.He also said that further pay cuts in the public sector had been ruled out.
Opposition parties have yet to sign off on the deal, however.The commission and the ECB have insisted that centrist partiesmust back any agreement even though they are in the middle of an election campaign, so that they can be held to its terms whatever the make-up of the future government.The opposition Social Democrats - political conservatives despite their name - have said they are ready to meet with the troika to consider the package.However, the latest polls suggest that neither the Socialists of Socrates nor the Social Democrats can win an outright majority, so that the make-up of the new parliament may be little different to the assmebly as it stood befeore th snap vote.

AMERICANS NEED CLOSURE ABOUT BIN LADEN
TAMAR ABOUT REBUILDING THE 3RD TEMPLE AND NEED TO SEE THE ENEMIES DEAD FOR CLOSURE
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Radio/News.aspx/3081
CLOSURE NEEDS THE BODY.WHEN A PERSONS FAMILY MEMBER IS MURDERED AND THE PERSON WHO DONE IT IS SENTENCED TO DEATH.YOU CAN BE SURE THAT MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY WILL BE AT THE DEATH PENALTY TO MAKE SURE ITS THE CLOSURE THEY GET FOR THE KILLED FAMILY MEMBER.
THIS IS WHY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS TO SHOW THE WORLD THE PICTURE OF BIN LADEN DEAD SO THE AMERICAN CITIZENS CAN GET CLOSURE.IF OBAMA REFUSES TO SHOW THE PEOPLE THE PICTURES THERE WILL NEVER BE A FINAL CLOSURE THAT BIN LADEN IS EVEN DEAD, ESPECIALLY SINCE OBAMA CLAIMS THEY HAD A QUICK DUMP IN THE SEA BURIEL.
EVEN GOD AFTER THE KILLING OF THE EGYPTIANS WITH THE RED SEA LET ISRAEL SEE THE DEAD BODIES OF THE EGYPTIANS AS REVENGE AGAINST TRYING TO DESTROY HIS ISRAELIS.SO IF GOD GIVES PROOF OF DEATH AND CLOSURE,THAT FRAUD OBAMA BETTER GIVE CLOSURE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.UNLESS HES GOT A 8 YEAR OLD BODY THATS UNRECOGNIZABLE DUE TO BEING UNTHAWD TO MANY TIMES AND REFROZEN.THAT BODY BETTER BE SHOWN TO THE AMERICAN AND WORLD CITIZENS OF BIN LADEN.
HERES THE MOSES-ISRAELIS KNOWING THEIR ENEMIES ARE GONE FOR SURE...PROOF OBAMA-PROOF.
GOD NOT ONLY SHOWS REVENGE BUT ISRAEL GETS THE LAND IN THE FUTURE ALSO.
EXODUS 14:1-21
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
EXODUS 15:1-12 (ISRAELIS THANKFUL FOR DESTROYING EGYPTIANS)
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
GENESIS 15:18
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Jones: Intelligence Sources Confirm bin Laden is Dead-Paul Joseph Watson (Originally published August 2002)
http://www.prisonplanet.com/inside-sources-bin-ladens-corpse-has-been-on-ice-for-nearly-a-decade.html
Please note: Alex has warned that this might be disinfo and the fact that we're reporting on it pre-emptively may cause them to change the script.Alex Jones, the radio talk show host based in Austin Texas, claims to have received inside intelligence that suggests Osama bin Laden is dead and will be publicly pronounced so by the Bush administration just before the next presidential election in November, 2004.Jones' credibility soared on September 11th after he predicted the previous July that the globalists would use bin Laden to attack lower Manhattan, New York, with reference to the World Trade Center, in order to advance their agenda to create a one world government and a police state.On his Thursday August 15th daytime broadcast, Jones stated,I have it from high level [sources] from inside the Bush administration...that bin Laden died of natural causes and that his family has given the body to the CIA, that they're gonna roll him out right before the election, that he\'s on ice right now. They will claim they killed him right before the election.
Jones gave a caution that the intelligence could be disinformation but claimed that his base in Austin was extremely close to the Bush administration and similar information received in the past had been credible.Furthermore, Jones stated that his intelligence contacts also told him that the attack on Iraq won't take place for another couple of years. This matches the leaked output from the June 2002 Bilderberg meeting, where the European arm of the New World Order were furious at the Anglo-American establishment for advancing the agenda far too quickly. They prefer the stepping-stones method to world government, whereby people can be incrementally conditioned and won over. The Europeans feel that the Problem-Reaction-Solution' paradigm is being rashly abused by President Bush and his controllers to the point where many have seen right through it. September 11th was a sloppy operation to say the least.On July 15th, the BBC reported the caims of an influential Arabic newspaper editor, Abdel-Bari Atwan, who said that reliable sources informed him that bin Laden was alive but keeping a low profile until the next terror attack in the US. German foreign intelligence also backed the fact that bin Laden may have been wounded but is still in reasonably good health.However, just three days later, the FBI's counter-terrorism chief, Dale Watson went on the record to say that bin Laden was probably dead. At a law enforcement conference, Watson said, Is (Bin Laden) alive or is he dead? I am not really sure of the answer... I personally think he is probably not with us anymore but I have no evidence to support that.
Further evidence to suggest that bin Laden is deceased can be garnered from the fact that his eldest son, Saad bin Laden, has taken over the command of the al-Qaeda terror network. In a story that was syndicated across the mainstream spectrum, the Saudi pan-Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported that, Saad bin Laden has been in charge of the organisation since the US offensive against al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan.This disclosure substantiates the theory that bin Laden was killed or seriously wounded in the US-led military campaign, the paper said.As Reuters reported last year, bin Laden has ten or more look-alikes around the globe. It will be down to military propaganda organs like CNN to decide on whether and when bin Laden is dead, totally independent of what really occured.

Inside Sources: Bin Laden’s Corpse Has Been On Ice For Nearly a Decade
A multitude of respected intelligence officials and heads of state have both publicly and privately asserted that Osama has been dead for years
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Monday, May 2, 2011
A multitude of different inside sources both publicly and privately, including one individual who personally worked with Bin Laden at one time, told us directly that Osama’s dead corpse has been on ice for nearly a decade and that his death would only be announced at the most politically expedient time.That time has now come with a years-old fake picture being presented as the only evidence of his alleged killing yesterday, while Bin Laden’s body has been hastily dumped into the sea to prevent anyone from finding out when he actually died.In April 2002, over nine years ago, Council on Foreign Relations member Steve R. Pieczenik, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, and James Baker, told the Alex Jones Show that Bin Laden had already been dead for months.Pieczenik would be in a position to know such information, having worked directly with Bin Laden when the US was funding and arming the terror leader in an attempt to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan in the late 70′s and early 80′s (a documented historical fact that talking heads in the corporate media are actually denying today in light of developments).I worked with Osama bin Laden in 78, 81,Pieczenik told Jones, adding that he later turned terrorist hunter during subsequent administrations.I found out through my sources that he had had kidney disease. And as a physician, I knew that he had to have two dialysis machines and he was dying, Pieczenik told Jones during the April 24, 2002 interview.
And you could see those in those films, those made-up photos that they were sending us out of nowhere. I mean, suddenly, we would see a video of bin Laden today and then out of nowhere, they said oh it was sent to us anonymously, meaning that someone in the government, our government, was trying to keep up the morale on our side and say oh we still have to chase this guy when, in fact, he’s been dead for months, added Pieczenik.Pieczenik then stated that the video tape of a fat Bin Laden look alike taking responsibility for 9/11 that was released in December 2001 was such a hoax designed to manipulate people in the emotional aftermath of 9/11.The subsequent war in Afghanistan that followed 9/11 was orchestrated With the agreement of the bin Laden family, knowing fully well that he would die,said Pieczenik.And I think that Musharraf, the President of Pakistan, spilled the beans by accident three months ago when he said that bin Laden was dead because his kidney dialysis machines were destroyed in East Afghanistan.In addition to Pieczenik, as we reported in August 2002, Alex Jones was separately told by a high level Republican source that Bin Laden was dead and that his body was being kept on ice until Osama’s death could be announced at the most politically expedient time.When Jones asked the source if his claim was mere speculation or whether it was actually true, the source re-iterated the fact that he was being deadly serious and that Bin Laden’s corpse was physically on ice waiting to be rolled out for public consumption at the most opportune moment.Many expected that moment to be right before the 2004 election, but after Democrats began speculating about the possibility, Republicans settled instead for a fake Osama video tape that was released on the eve of the election and, according to both George W. Bush and John Kerry, was the deciding factor in a closely-fought contest. Veteran news reader Walter Cronkite labeled the entire farce a Karl Rove-orchestrated set-up.
In addition to these sources, a deluge of other heads of state as well as intelligence agency professionals have gone on record over the past nine years to state their belief that Bin Laden was likely dead, after it became clear that the Al-Qaeda leader’s health was in severe decline as a result of kidney disease at the end of 2001. These include;
- Former CIA officer and hugely respected intelligence & foreign policy expert Robert Baer, who in 2008 when asked about Bin Laden by a radio host responded, Of course he is dead.
- On December 26, 2001, Fox News, citing a Pakistan Observer story, reported that the Afghan Taliban had pronounced Bin Laden dead and buried him in an unmarked grave.
- On January 18, 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf announced: I think now, frankly, he is dead.
- On July 17, 2002, the then-head of counterterrorism at the FBI, Dale Watson, told a conference of law enforcement officials that I personally think he [Bin Laden] is probably not with us anymore.
- In October 2002, Afghan President Hamid Karzai told CNN that I would come to believe that [Bin Laden] probably is dead.
- In 2003, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told Fox News Channel analyst Morton Kondracke she suspected Bush knew the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and was waiting for the most politically expedient moment to announce his capture.
- In November 2005, Senator Harry Reid revealed that he was told Osama may have died in the Pakistani earthquake of October that year.
- In February 2007, Professor Bruce Lawrence, head of Duke University’s Religious Studies program, stated that the purported video and audio tapes that were being released of Bin Laden were fake and that he was probably dead.
- On November 2, 2007, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto told Al-Jazeera’s David Frost that Omar Sheikh had killed Osama Bin Laden.
- In March 2009, former US foreign intelligence officer and professor of international relations at Boston University Angelo Codevilla stated: All the evidence suggests Elvis Presley is more alive today than Osama Bin Laden.
- In May 2009, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari confirmed that his counterparts in the American intelligence agencies hadn’t heard anything from Bin Laden in seven years and confirmed I don’t think he’s alive.
In a way, the establishment had their hand forced in having to announce the death of someone whose shadowy existence had proven very useful to them in maintaining fear and uncertainty amongst the population of America and the world.The fact that the myth behind Al-Qaeda has been completely demolished and that the group, through a myriad of revelations, including Anwar Al-Alawki’s post-9/11 visit to the Pentagon, is now widely known to be a US intelligence front, perhaps now means that Al-Qaeda will be swept under the rug and a new enemy will be invented in order to legitimize the continued US military-complex domination of the globe.
H/T: James Corbett – Osama Bin Laden Pronounced Dead… For the Ninth Time.
DNA Testing Confirmed Bin Laden Assassination
by Chana Ya'ar MAY 2,11
The United States used DNA testing to confirm assassination of al Qaeda international chief terrorist Osama Bin Laden by a team of U.S. special forces over the weekend.A team of U.S. Navy SEALs shot Bin Laden in the head after he refused to surrender at his mansion in Pakistan.According to a senior intelligence official who spoke at a briefing with reporters on condition of anonymity, the special forces identified Bin Laden by using facial recognition techniques.In addition, a woman believed to be his wife identified him by name during the raid.But a subsequent DNA test on Bin Laden's body also showed a very confident match against the terrorist leader's relatives, an intelligence leader told the Associated Press.The test showed high confirmation that it was indeed Bin Laden who had been killed, he said, thus enabling President Barack Obama to announce the death Sunday night.It is believed the U.S. collected samples of DNA from Bin Laden's relatives over the years following the September 11, 2001 Al Qaeda attack on America.The entire operation against Bin Laden was observed in real-time by CIA Director Leon Panetta and other intelligence officials, the source said. The monitoring was carried out in a conference room at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.Bin Laden's body was buried within 14 hours in accordance with Islamic law, according to the Pentagon.The body was dropped into the waters of the North Arabian Sea from aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson after undergoing traditional Islamic ritual preparation.

Bin Laden's luxury hideout raises questions By NAHAL TOOSI and KATHY GANNON, Associated Press – Mon May 2, 7:50 pm ET
ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan – Osama bin Laden made his final stand in a small Pakistani city where three army regiments with thousands of soldiers are based not far from the capital — a location that is increasing suspicions in Washington that Islamabad may have been sheltering him.The U.S. acted alone in Monday's helicopter raid, did not inform Pakistan until it was over and pointedly did not thank Pakistan at the end of a wildly successful operation. All this suggests more strain ahead in a relationship that was already suffering because of U.S. accusations that the Pakistanis are supporting Afghan militants and Pakistani anger over American drone attacks and spy activity.Pakistani intelligence agencies are normally very sharp in sniffing out the presence of foreigners in small cities.For years, Western intelligence had said bin Laden was most likely holed up in a cave along the Pakistan-Afghan border, a remote region of soaring mountains and thick forests where the Pakistan army has little presence. But the 10-year hunt for the world's most-wanted man ended in a whitewashed, three-story house in a middle-class area of Abbottabad, a leafy resort city of 400,000 people nestled in pine-forested hills less than 35 miles from the national capital, Islamabad.
Sen. Carl Levin, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said bin Laden's location meant Pakistan had a lot of explaining to do.I think this tells us once again that unfortunately Pakistan at times is playing a double game, said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, a member of the Armed Services Committee.A senior Pakistan intelligence official dismissed speculation that bin Laden was being protected.We don't explain it. We just did not know — period, he said, on condition his name not be released to the media.Extra security forces swarmed the city on Monday, adding to Abbottabad's already massive military presence. Heavily armed trucks rumbled through, and police shooed children away from around the fortress-like compound.
Associated Press reporters saw the wreckage of one of the American helicopters that malfunctioned and had to be destroyed during the operation. Residents described the sounds of bullets, the clatter of chopper blades and two large explosions as the raid went down.Hours after the operation, a soldier armed with a gun could be seen walking on the compound's roof, as tense crowds of onlookers suddenly swelled in the narrow street leading away from the site.It was unclear how long bin Laden had been holed up in the house with members of his family. From the outside, the house resembled many others in Pakistan and even had a flag flying from a pole in the garden, apparently a Pakistani one. It had high, barbed-wire topped walls, few windows and was located in a neighborhood of smaller houses, shops, dusty litter-lined streets and empty plots used for growing vegetables.
Neighbors said large Landcruisers and other expensive cars were seen driving into the compound, but they had no indication that foreigners were living inside. Salman Riaz, a film actor, said that five months ago he and a crew tried to do some filming next to the house, but were told to stop by two men who came out.They told me that this is haram (forbidden in Islam), he said.A video aired by ABC News that purported to show the inside of the compound included footage of disheveled bedrooms with floors stained with large pools of blood and littered with clothes and paper. It also showed a dirt road outside the compound with large white walls on one side and a green agricultural field on the other.After nightfall on Monday, a single light shone from inside the compound.Some residents were alarmed. We're very concerned for this town. It was a very safe place. Now there could be al-Qaida everywhere, said Naeem Munir.The compound, which an Obama administration official said was custom built to hide someone of significance, was about a half-mile (one kilometer) away from the Kakul Military Academy, one of several military installations in the bustling, hill-ringed town. Personally I feel that he must have thought it was the safest area, said Asad Munir, a former station chief of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, in the northwest.Abbottabad is a place no one would expect him to live.Suspicions that Pakistan harbors militants have been a major source of mistrust between the CIA and Pakistan's ISI, though the two agencies have cooperated in the arrests of al-Qaida leaders since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, including several in towns and cities outside the border area. Why had Pakistan not spotted he is living in a nice tourist resort just outside Islamabad? asked Gareth Price, a researcher at Chatham House think-tank in London.It seems he was being protected by Pakistan. If that is the case, this will be hard for the two sides to carry on working together. Unless Pakistan can explain why they didn't know, it makes relations difficult.Relations between Pakistan's main intelligence agency and the CIA had been very strained in recent months after a CIA contractor shot and killed two Pakistanis in January, bringing Pakistani grievances out into the open. Since then, a Pakistani official has said that joint operations had been stopped, and that the agency was demanding the Americans cut down on drone strikes in the border area.
The U.S. has fired hundreds of drones into the border regions since 2008, taking out senior al-Qaida leaders in a tactic seen by many in Washington as vital to keeping the militant network and allied groups living in safe havens on the back foot. While tensions may run high, it is unlikely that either nation could afford to sever the link completely. Pakistan has nuclear weapons, and the U.S. needs Islamabad to begin its withdrawal from Afghanistan this year as planned. Pakistan relies heavily on the United States for military and civilian aid.Some of the strongest allegations about ISI involvement in sheltering bin Laden were made in Afghanistan, where President Hamid Karzai has repeatedly said that more of the American focus should be across the border in Pakistan.For years we have said that the fight against terrorism is not in Afghan villages and houses,said Karzai.It is in safe havens, and today that was shown to be true.There was no evidence of direct ISI collusion, and American officials did not make any such allegations.There are a lot of people within the Pakistan government, and I am not going to speculate about who, or if any of them had foreknowledge about bin Laden being in Abbottabad but certainly its location there outside of the capital raises questions,said White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan.Some analysts suggested that Pakistan would have little interest in sheltering bin Laden. They contrasted the al-Qaida leader with Afghan Taliban leaders, whom Pakistan views as useful allies in Afghanistan once America withdraws. Al-Qaida has carried out scores of attacks inside Pakistan in recent years.Last month, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, accused Pakistan's military-run spy service of maintaining links with the Haqqani network, a major Afghan Taliban faction.Hours later, a Pakistani army statement rejected what it called negative propaganda by the United States, while army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said his troops' multiple offensives against insurgent groups in the northwest are evidence of Pakistan's resolve to defeat terrorism.
Kayani also told graduating cadets at the Kakul academy that their force had broken the backbone of the militants. But Pakistan's government and army are very sensitive to concerns that they are working under the orders of America and allowing U.S. forces to operate here. One Islamist party staged a protest against bin Laden's killing, but there was no sign of a major reaction on the Pakistani street.Down with America! Down with Obama! shouted more than 100 people in the southwestern city of Quetta. Jihad, jihad the only treatment for America! The Pakistani Taliban, an al-Qaida-allied group behind scores of bloody attacks in Pakistan and the failed bombing in New York's Times Square, vowed revenge.Let me make it very clear that we will avenge the martyrdom of Osama bin Laden, and we will do it by carrying out attacks in Pakistan and America, Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan told The Associated Press by phone.We will teach them an exemplary lesson.The U.S. closed its embassy in Islamabad and its consulates in the cities of Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar on Monday for fear of unrest.Many Pakistanis doubted the U.S. account of the raid, with some refusing to believe that bin Laden was dead.It is not possible. Like other incidents, I think this is faked,said Mohammad Bashir, a 45-year-old cab driver in Abbottabad.It seems that in the coming days, suddenly Osama will come out with a statement.Associated Press writers Zarar Khan in Abbottabad, Munir Ahmed and Chris Brummitt in Islamabad and Rasool Dawar in Peshawar contributed to this report.

CLOSURE NEEDS THE BODY.WHEN A PERSONS FAMILY MEMBER IS MURDERED AND THE PERSON WHO DONE IT IS SENTENCED TO DEATH.YOU CAN BE SURE THAT MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY WILL BE AT THE DEATH PENALTY TO MAKE SURE ITS THE CLOSURE THEY GET FOR THE KILLED FAMILY MEMBER.
THIS IS WHY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS TO SHOW THE WORLD THE PICTURE OF BIN LADEN DEAD SO THE AMERICAN CITIZENS CAN GET CLOSURE.IF OBAMA REFUSES TO SHOW THE PEOPLE THE PICTURES THERE WILL NEVER BE A FINAL CLOSURE THAT BIN LADEN IS EVEN DEAD, ESPECIALLY SINCE OBAMA CLAIMS THEY HAD A QUICK DUMP IN THE SEA BURIEL.
EVEN GOD AFTER THE KILLING OF THE EGYPTIANS WITH THE RED SEA LET ISRAEL SEE THE DEAD BODIES OF THE EGYPTIANS AS REVENGE AGAINST TRYING TO DESTROY HIS ISRAELIS.SO IF GOD GIVES PROOF OF DEATH AND CLOSURE,THAT FRAUD OBAMA BETTER GIVE CLOSURE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.UNLESS HES GOT A 8 YEAR OLD BODY THATS UNRECOGNIZABLE DUE TO BEING UNTHAWD TO MANY TIMES AND REFROZEN.THAT BODY BETTER BE SHOWN TO THE AMERICAN AND WORLD CITIZENS OF BIN LADEN.
HERES THE MOSES-ISRAELIS KNOWING THEIR ENEMIES ARE GONE FOR SURE...PROOF OBAMA-PROOF.
GOD NOT ONLY SHOWS REVENGE BUT ISRAEL GETS THE LAND IN THE FUTURE ALSO.
EXODUS 14:1-21
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
EXODUS 15:1-12 (ISRAELIS THANKFUL FOR DESTROYING EGYPTIANS)
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
GENESIS 15:18
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
SO WE SEE OBAMA THE BODY HAS TO BE SHOWN TO GIVE THE WORLDS CITZENS CLOSURE,EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW BIN LADEN HAS BEEN DEAD AND FROZE FOR 9 YEARS NOW SO FALSE FLAG COULD BE DONE TO STEAL AMERICAN CITIZENS RIGHTS.

Jones: Intelligence Sources Confirm bin Laden is Dead-Paul Joseph Watson (Originally published August 2002)
http://www.prisonplanet.com/inside-sources-bin-ladens-corpse-has-been-on-ice-for-nearly-a-decade.html
Please note: Alex has warned that this might be disinfo and the fact that we're reporting on it pre-emptively may cause them to change the script.Alex Jones, the radio talk show host based in Austin Texas, claims to have received inside intelligence that suggests Osama bin Laden is dead and will be publicly pronounced so by the Bush administration just before the next presidential election in November, 2004.Jones' credibility soared on September 11th after he predicted the previous July that the globalists would use bin Laden to attack lower Manhattan, New York, with reference to the World Trade Center, in order to advance their agenda to create a one world government and a police state.On his Thursday August 15th daytime broadcast, Jones stated,I have it from high level [sources] from inside the Bush administration...that bin Laden died of natural causes and that his family has given the body to the CIA, that they're gonna roll him out right before the election, that he\'s on ice right now. They will claim they killed him right before the election.
Jones gave a caution that the intelligence could be disinformation but claimed that his base in Austin was extremely close to the Bush administration and similar information received in the past had been credible.Furthermore, Jones stated that his intelligence contacts also told him that the attack on Iraq won't take place for another couple of years. This matches the leaked output from the June 2002 Bilderberg meeting, where the European arm of the New World Order were furious at the Anglo-American establishment for advancing the agenda far too quickly. They prefer the stepping-stones method to world government, whereby people can be incrementally conditioned and won over. The Europeans feel that the Problem-Reaction-Solution' paradigm is being rashly abused by President Bush and his controllers to the point where many have seen right through it. September 11th was a sloppy operation to say the least.On July 15th, the BBC reported the caims of an influential Arabic newspaper editor, Abdel-Bari Atwan, who said that reliable sources informed him that bin Laden was alive but keeping a low profile until the next terror attack in the US. German foreign intelligence also backed the fact that bin Laden may have been wounded but is still in reasonably good health.However, just three days later, the FBI's counter-terrorism chief, Dale Watson went on the record to say that bin Laden was probably dead. At a law enforcement conference, Watson said, Is (Bin Laden) alive or is he dead? I am not really sure of the answer... I personally think he is probably not with us anymore but I have no evidence to support that.
Further evidence to suggest that bin Laden is deceased can be garnered from the fact that his eldest son, Saad bin Laden, has taken over the command of the al-Qaeda terror network. In a story that was syndicated across the mainstream spectrum, the Saudi pan-Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported that, Saad bin Laden has been in charge of the organisation since the US offensive against al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan.This disclosure substantiates the theory that bin Laden was killed or seriously wounded in the US-led military campaign, the paper said.As Reuters reported last year, bin Laden has ten or more look-alikes around the globe. It will be down to military propaganda organs like CNN to decide on whether and when bin Laden is dead, totally independent of what really occured.

Inside Sources: Bin Laden’s Corpse Has Been On Ice For Nearly a Decade
A multitude of respected intelligence officials and heads of state have both publicly and privately asserted that Osama has been dead for years
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Monday, May 2, 2011
A multitude of different inside sources both publicly and privately, including one individual who personally worked with Bin Laden at one time, told us directly that Osama’s dead corpse has been on ice for nearly a decade and that his death would only be announced at the most politically expedient time.That time has now come with a years-old fake picture being presented as the only evidence of his alleged killing yesterday, while Bin Laden’s body has been hastily dumped into the sea to prevent anyone from finding out when he actually died.In April 2002, over nine years ago, Council on Foreign Relations member Steve R. Pieczenik, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, and James Baker, told the Alex Jones Show that Bin Laden had already been dead for months.Pieczenik would be in a position to know such information, having worked directly with Bin Laden when the US was funding and arming the terror leader in an attempt to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan in the late 70′s and early 80′s (a documented historical fact that talking heads in the corporate media are actually denying today in light of developments).I worked with Osama bin Laden in 78, 81,Pieczenik told Jones, adding that he later turned terrorist hunter during subsequent administrations.I found out through my sources that he had had kidney disease. And as a physician, I knew that he had to have two dialysis machines and he was dying, Pieczenik told Jones during the April 24, 2002 interview.
And you could see those in those films, those made-up photos that they were sending us out of nowhere. I mean, suddenly, we would see a video of bin Laden today and then out of nowhere, they said oh it was sent to us anonymously, meaning that someone in the government, our government, was trying to keep up the morale on our side and say oh we still have to chase this guy when, in fact, he’s been dead for months, added Pieczenik.Pieczenik then stated that the video tape of a fat Bin Laden look alike taking responsibility for 9/11 that was released in December 2001 was such a hoax designed to manipulate people in the emotional aftermath of 9/11.The subsequent war in Afghanistan that followed 9/11 was orchestrated With the agreement of the bin Laden family, knowing fully well that he would die,said Pieczenik.And I think that Musharraf, the President of Pakistan, spilled the beans by accident three months ago when he said that bin Laden was dead because his kidney dialysis machines were destroyed in East Afghanistan.In addition to Pieczenik, as we reported in August 2002, Alex Jones was separately told by a high level Republican source that Bin Laden was dead and that his body was being kept on ice until Osama’s death could be announced at the most politically expedient time.When Jones asked the source if his claim was mere speculation or whether it was actually true, the source re-iterated the fact that he was being deadly serious and that Bin Laden’s corpse was physically on ice waiting to be rolled out for public consumption at the most opportune moment.Many expected that moment to be right before the 2004 election, but after Democrats began speculating about the possibility, Republicans settled instead for a fake Osama video tape that was released on the eve of the election and, according to both George W. Bush and John Kerry, was the deciding factor in a closely-fought contest. Veteran news reader Walter Cronkite labeled the entire farce a Karl Rove-orchestrated set-up.
In addition to these sources, a deluge of other heads of state as well as intelligence agency professionals have gone on record over the past nine years to state their belief that Bin Laden was likely dead, after it became clear that the Al-Qaeda leader’s health was in severe decline as a result of kidney disease at the end of 2001. These include;
- Former CIA officer and hugely respected intelligence & foreign policy expert Robert Baer, who in 2008 when asked about Bin Laden by a radio host responded, Of course he is dead.
- On December 26, 2001, Fox News, citing a Pakistan Observer story, reported that the Afghan Taliban had pronounced Bin Laden dead and buried him in an unmarked grave.
- On January 18, 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf announced: I think now, frankly, he is dead.
- On July 17, 2002, the then-head of counterterrorism at the FBI, Dale Watson, told a conference of law enforcement officials that I personally think he [Bin Laden] is probably not with us anymore.
- In October 2002, Afghan President Hamid Karzai told CNN that I would come to believe that [Bin Laden] probably is dead.
- In 2003, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told Fox News Channel analyst Morton Kondracke she suspected Bush knew the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and was waiting for the most politically expedient moment to announce his capture.
- In November 2005, Senator Harry Reid revealed that he was told Osama may have died in the Pakistani earthquake of October that year.
- In February 2007, Professor Bruce Lawrence, head of Duke University’s Religious Studies program, stated that the purported video and audio tapes that were being released of Bin Laden were fake and that he was probably dead.
- On November 2, 2007, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto told Al-Jazeera’s David Frost that Omar Sheikh had killed Osama Bin Laden.
- In March 2009, former US foreign intelligence officer and professor of international relations at Boston University Angelo Codevilla stated: All the evidence suggests Elvis Presley is more alive today than Osama Bin Laden.
- In May 2009, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari confirmed that his counterparts in the American intelligence agencies hadn’t heard anything from Bin Laden in seven years and confirmed I don’t think he’s alive.
In a way, the establishment had their hand forced in having to announce the death of someone whose shadowy existence had proven very useful to them in maintaining fear and uncertainty amongst the population of America and the world.The fact that the myth behind Al-Qaeda has been completely demolished and that the group, through a myriad of revelations, including Anwar Al-Alawki’s post-9/11 visit to the Pentagon, is now widely known to be a US intelligence front, perhaps now means that Al-Qaeda will be swept under the rug and a new enemy will be invented in order to legitimize the continued US military-complex domination of the globe.

DNA Testing Confirmed Bin Laden Assassination
by Chana Ya'ar MAY 2,11
The United States used DNA testing to confirm assassination of al Qaeda international chief terrorist Osama Bin Laden by a team of U.S. special forces over the weekend.A team of U.S. Navy SEALs shot Bin Laden in the head after he refused to surrender at his mansion in Pakistan.According to a senior intelligence official who spoke at a briefing with reporters on condition of anonymity, the special forces identified Bin Laden by using facial recognition techniques.In addition, a woman believed to be his wife identified him by name during the raid.But a subsequent DNA test on Bin Laden's body also showed a very confident match against the terrorist leader's relatives, an intelligence leader told the Associated Press.The test showed high confirmation that it was indeed Bin Laden who had been killed, he said, thus enabling President Barack Obama to announce the death Sunday night.It is believed the U.S. collected samples of DNA from Bin Laden's relatives over the years following the September 11, 2001 Al Qaeda attack on America.The entire operation against Bin Laden was observed in real-time by CIA Director Leon Panetta and other intelligence officials, the source said. The monitoring was carried out in a conference room at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.Bin Laden's body was buried within 14 hours in accordance with Islamic law, according to the Pentagon.The body was dropped into the waters of the North Arabian Sea from aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson after undergoing traditional Islamic ritual preparation.

Bin Laden's luxury hideout raises questions By NAHAL TOOSI and KATHY GANNON, Associated Press – Mon May 2, 7:50 pm ET
ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan – Osama bin Laden made his final stand in a small Pakistani city where three army regiments with thousands of soldiers are based not far from the capital — a location that is increasing suspicions in Washington that Islamabad may have been sheltering him.The U.S. acted alone in Monday's helicopter raid, did not inform Pakistan until it was over and pointedly did not thank Pakistan at the end of a wildly successful operation. All this suggests more strain ahead in a relationship that was already suffering because of U.S. accusations that the Pakistanis are supporting Afghan militants and Pakistani anger over American drone attacks and spy activity.Pakistani intelligence agencies are normally very sharp in sniffing out the presence of foreigners in small cities.For years, Western intelligence had said bin Laden was most likely holed up in a cave along the Pakistan-Afghan border, a remote region of soaring mountains and thick forests where the Pakistan army has little presence. But the 10-year hunt for the world's most-wanted man ended in a whitewashed, three-story house in a middle-class area of Abbottabad, a leafy resort city of 400,000 people nestled in pine-forested hills less than 35 miles from the national capital, Islamabad.
Sen. Carl Levin, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said bin Laden's location meant Pakistan had a lot of explaining to do.I think this tells us once again that unfortunately Pakistan at times is playing a double game, said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, a member of the Armed Services Committee.A senior Pakistan intelligence official dismissed speculation that bin Laden was being protected.We don't explain it. We just did not know — period, he said, on condition his name not be released to the media.Extra security forces swarmed the city on Monday, adding to Abbottabad's already massive military presence. Heavily armed trucks rumbled through, and police shooed children away from around the fortress-like compound.
Associated Press reporters saw the wreckage of one of the American helicopters that malfunctioned and had to be destroyed during the operation. Residents described the sounds of bullets, the clatter of chopper blades and two large explosions as the raid went down.Hours after the operation, a soldier armed with a gun could be seen walking on the compound's roof, as tense crowds of onlookers suddenly swelled in the narrow street leading away from the site.It was unclear how long bin Laden had been holed up in the house with members of his family. From the outside, the house resembled many others in Pakistan and even had a flag flying from a pole in the garden, apparently a Pakistani one. It had high, barbed-wire topped walls, few windows and was located in a neighborhood of smaller houses, shops, dusty litter-lined streets and empty plots used for growing vegetables.
Neighbors said large Landcruisers and other expensive cars were seen driving into the compound, but they had no indication that foreigners were living inside. Salman Riaz, a film actor, said that five months ago he and a crew tried to do some filming next to the house, but were told to stop by two men who came out.They told me that this is haram (forbidden in Islam), he said.A video aired by ABC News that purported to show the inside of the compound included footage of disheveled bedrooms with floors stained with large pools of blood and littered with clothes and paper. It also showed a dirt road outside the compound with large white walls on one side and a green agricultural field on the other.After nightfall on Monday, a single light shone from inside the compound.Some residents were alarmed. We're very concerned for this town. It was a very safe place. Now there could be al-Qaida everywhere, said Naeem Munir.The compound, which an Obama administration official said was custom built to hide someone of significance, was about a half-mile (one kilometer) away from the Kakul Military Academy, one of several military installations in the bustling, hill-ringed town. Personally I feel that he must have thought it was the safest area, said Asad Munir, a former station chief of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, in the northwest.Abbottabad is a place no one would expect him to live.Suspicions that Pakistan harbors militants have been a major source of mistrust between the CIA and Pakistan's ISI, though the two agencies have cooperated in the arrests of al-Qaida leaders since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, including several in towns and cities outside the border area. Why had Pakistan not spotted he is living in a nice tourist resort just outside Islamabad? asked Gareth Price, a researcher at Chatham House think-tank in London.It seems he was being protected by Pakistan. If that is the case, this will be hard for the two sides to carry on working together. Unless Pakistan can explain why they didn't know, it makes relations difficult.Relations between Pakistan's main intelligence agency and the CIA had been very strained in recent months after a CIA contractor shot and killed two Pakistanis in January, bringing Pakistani grievances out into the open. Since then, a Pakistani official has said that joint operations had been stopped, and that the agency was demanding the Americans cut down on drone strikes in the border area.
The U.S. has fired hundreds of drones into the border regions since 2008, taking out senior al-Qaida leaders in a tactic seen by many in Washington as vital to keeping the militant network and allied groups living in safe havens on the back foot. While tensions may run high, it is unlikely that either nation could afford to sever the link completely. Pakistan has nuclear weapons, and the U.S. needs Islamabad to begin its withdrawal from Afghanistan this year as planned. Pakistan relies heavily on the United States for military and civilian aid.Some of the strongest allegations about ISI involvement in sheltering bin Laden were made in Afghanistan, where President Hamid Karzai has repeatedly said that more of the American focus should be across the border in Pakistan.For years we have said that the fight against terrorism is not in Afghan villages and houses,said Karzai.It is in safe havens, and today that was shown to be true.There was no evidence of direct ISI collusion, and American officials did not make any such allegations.There are a lot of people within the Pakistan government, and I am not going to speculate about who, or if any of them had foreknowledge about bin Laden being in Abbottabad but certainly its location there outside of the capital raises questions,said White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan.Some analysts suggested that Pakistan would have little interest in sheltering bin Laden. They contrasted the al-Qaida leader with Afghan Taliban leaders, whom Pakistan views as useful allies in Afghanistan once America withdraws. Al-Qaida has carried out scores of attacks inside Pakistan in recent years.Last month, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, accused Pakistan's military-run spy service of maintaining links with the Haqqani network, a major Afghan Taliban faction.Hours later, a Pakistani army statement rejected what it called negative propaganda by the United States, while army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said his troops' multiple offensives against insurgent groups in the northwest are evidence of Pakistan's resolve to defeat terrorism.
Kayani also told graduating cadets at the Kakul academy that their force had broken the backbone of the militants. But Pakistan's government and army are very sensitive to concerns that they are working under the orders of America and allowing U.S. forces to operate here. One Islamist party staged a protest against bin Laden's killing, but there was no sign of a major reaction on the Pakistani street.Down with America! Down with Obama! shouted more than 100 people in the southwestern city of Quetta. Jihad, jihad the only treatment for America! The Pakistani Taliban, an al-Qaida-allied group behind scores of bloody attacks in Pakistan and the failed bombing in New York's Times Square, vowed revenge.Let me make it very clear that we will avenge the martyrdom of Osama bin Laden, and we will do it by carrying out attacks in Pakistan and America, Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan told The Associated Press by phone.We will teach them an exemplary lesson.The U.S. closed its embassy in Islamabad and its consulates in the cities of Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar on Monday for fear of unrest.Many Pakistanis doubted the U.S. account of the raid, with some refusing to believe that bin Laden was dead.It is not possible. Like other incidents, I think this is faked,said Mohammad Bashir, a 45-year-old cab driver in Abbottabad.It seems that in the coming days, suddenly Osama will come out with a statement.Associated Press writers Zarar Khan in Abbottabad, Munir Ahmed and Chris Brummitt in Islamabad and Rasool Dawar in Peshawar contributed to this report.

Canada's Conservatives win coveted majority By Rob Gillies, Associated Press – MAY 3,2011 9:30AM
TORONTO – Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper won his coveted majority government in elections that changed Canada's political landscape, with the opposition Liberals and Quebec separatists suffering a shattering defeat.Harper, who took office in 2006, has won two elections but until Monday's vote had never held a majority of Parliament's 308 seats, forcing him to rely on the opposition to pass legislation.Harper has deliberately avoided sweeping policy changes that could derail his government, but now has an opportunity to pass any legislation he wants with his new majority.While Harper's hold on Parliament has been tenuous during his five-year tenure, he has managed to nudge an instinctively center-left country to the right. He has gradually lowered sales and corporate taxes, avoided climate change legislation that would harm Alberta's oil sands sector, promoted Arctic sovereignty, upped military spending and extended Canada's military mission in Afghanistan. He has also staunchly backed Israel's right-wing government.Elections Canada reported results on its website, giving the Conservatives 167 seats, which will give Harper four years of uninterrupted government.
We are grateful, deeply honored, in fact humbled by the decisive endorsement of so many Canadians, Harper told elated supporters at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta.The leftist New Democratic Party became the main opposition party for the first time in Canadian history with 102 seats, tripling their support in a stunning setback for the Liberals who have always been either in power or leading the opposition.It's a historic night for New Democrats, NDP leader Jack Layton told a delirious crowd in downtown Toronto.Harper was helped by the NDP surge, which split the left-of-center vote in many districts, handing victory to Conservative candidates, especially in Ontario, where the Liberals were decimated in their last national stronghold.Former colleagues of Harper say his long-term goals are to shatter the image of the Liberals — the party of former Prime Ministers Jean Chretien, Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau — as the natural party of government in Canada, and to redefine what it means to be Canadian.Harper, who comes from the conservative western province of Alberta, took a major step toward that goal on Monday night as the Liberals suffered their worst defeat in Canadian history — dropping to 34 seats from 77.Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff congratulated Harper and New Democrat leader Jack Layton and accepted responsibility for the historic defeat.Democracy teaches hard lessons, and we have to learn them all, Ignatieff told a somber gathering in Toronto.Ignatieff, who even lost his own seat in a Toronto suburb, said, I will play any part that the party wishes me to play as we go forward to rebuild.Stephen Clarkson, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto, said the 52-year-old Harper should now be considered a transformative figure in Canadian history.It's a sea change,Clarkson said.
The New Democrats' gains are being attributed to Layton's strong performance in the debates, a folksy, upbeat message, and a desire by the French-speakers in Quebec, the second most populous province, for a new face and a federalist option after two decades of supporting a separatist party.Voters indicated they had grown weary with the separatist Bloc Quebecois, which had a shocking drop to four seats from 47 in the last Parliament. Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe lost his own seat and immediately resigned. Quebeckers said separatism was still an important force, despite the province's rejection of the Bloc.I would caution anyone to think that the independence movement is dead at any time,said Bruce Hicks, a political scientist at the Universite de Montreal.This is one of those burning embers things. It takes very little to ignite it, but right now it's only embers.The Green party won its first seat ever in the House of Commons with leader Elizabeth May winning in a British Columbia district. The Conservatives got 40 percent of the vote, compared to 31 percent for the NDP and a dismal 19 percent for the Liberals.The NDP's gains marked a remarkable shift in a campaign that started out weeks ago looking like a straight battle between Harper and Ignatieff, a distinguished academic, with the 60-year-old Layton recovering from prostate cancer and a broken hip.Harper counted on the economy to help hand him the majority. Canada has outperformed other major industrialized democracies through the financial crisis, recovering almost all the jobs lost during the recession while its banking sector remains intact. He said he would continue his plan to create jobs and growth without raising taxes.He campaigned in the last few days on a message that the New Democrats stood for higher taxes, higher spending, higher prices and protectionism. He called the election a choice between a Conservative majority and a ramshackle coalition led by the NDP that will not last but will do a lot of destruction.
Harper asked for a majority government at the start of the campaign, Canada's fourth election in the past seven years. In past elections, Harper's Conservatives did not explicitly ask for a majority to avoid raising fears among Canadians that they would implement a hidden right-wing agenda. Canadians can now turn the page on the uncertainties and repeat elections of the past seven years and focus on building a great future for all of us,Harper said.Harper plans to pass a budget and toughen Canada's crime laws when Parliament resumes. He also plans to cut off public subsidies for political parties, something that will further harm the centrist Liberals who have had trouble raising funds.Gerry Nicholls, who worked under Harper at a conservative think tank, has said that having the New Democrats as the main opposition party would be ideal for Harper because it would define Canadian politics in clearer terms of left vs. right. Harper believes the Conservatives will win elections more often than not if the opposition is a social democrat party like the New Democrats.The Conservatives have built support in rural areas and with the Tim Hortons crowd — a reference to a chain of doughnut shops popular with working class Canadians. They also have blitzed the country with TV attack ads, running them even during telecasts of the Academy Awards and the Super Bowl.Ignatieff, a 63-year-old former Harvard professor, was unable to overcome the Conservative attacks and inspire voters. Lawrence Martin, a political columnist for The Globe and Mail newspaper and author of Harperland: The Politics of Control,calls Harper the most autocratic and partisan prime minister Canada has ever had.But to remain in office through the longest period of minority government in Canadian history, Harper had to engage in a constant balancing act. The three opposition parties combined held 160 seats in the last Parliament, while the Conservatives held 143. The Liberals held 77, the New Democrats 36 and the Bloc Quebecois 47.Associated Press Writers Jeremy Hainsworth in Vancouver, British Columbia, Charmaine Noronha in Toronto, and Selena Ross and Sean Farrell in Montreal contributed to this report.
Canadian dollar firms as Conservatives look set to keep power
MAY 3,11
TORONTO (Reuters) – The Canadian dollar firmed on Monday as Canada's ruling Conservatives looked set to retain power in a federal election, though pollsters said it was too early to say if the party would get a majority or stay in power with a minority.The currency firmed as high as C$0.9483 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0545. The currency had ended the North American session at C$0.9508 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0517.(Reporting by Jeffrey Hodgson; Editing by Eric Walsh)
Conservatives romp to crushing Canadian election win
By Janet Guttsman and David Ljunggren - MAY 3,11
OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada's ruling Conservatives won a crushing victory in Monday's federal election, as the left wing vote split between two parties and the separatist Bloc Quebecois faded to almost nothing.Still provisional results showed the Conservatives had 167 seats in Parliament, well above the 155 they needed to transform their minority government into a majority. They won 40 percent of the vote, more than most pollsters had expected.The results are as they should be, Conservative supporter Fred Biddle said at Prime Minister Stephen Harper's raucous victory party in Calgary. It looks like we are back to a two party system in Canada: Conservatives and all the rest.The Conservatives, describing themselves as the guardians of a surprisingly resilient Canadian economy, had stressed throughout the election campaign that they needed a majority to keep the economy strong.The Canadian dollar firmed as the results emerged, and analysts expected the stock market to follow it up on Tuesday.(A Conservative majority) is likely to be seen as a positive in the world's financial markets for the Canadian dollar,said Jack Spitz, Managing Director of foreign exchange at National Bank Financial.The provisional results showed the left-leaning NDP winning around 103 seats, by far its strongest showing ever, and catapulting itself into the position of Canada's official opposition.
It is amazing to see a tripling of the seats for the NDP. It gives me hope for change, said Megan Ciurysek, a 26-year-old Polish-Canadian, who described the result as bittersweet. To have a majority Conservative government is unbelievably disappointing.The NDP gains came largely at the expense of the Bloc and of the once-mighty Liberal Party, which lost more than half its seats in a dismal black eye for party leader Michael Ignatieff, a broadcaster and academic turned politician who never managed to connect with Canadians.The result was a historical low for the Liberals, who saw both their lowest-ever seat total and their smallest share of the popular vote, at just under 20 percent.
PARTY MERGER TALK
The monumental nature of their defeat will prompt more talk about a possible merger with New Democrats to create a unified center-left party capable of defeating the Conservatives.It was not clear that Ignatieff would retain his own seat.Democracy teaches hard lessons and we have to learn them all, he said in a sad address to the party faithful.The Bloc Quebecois were set to win just three seats, a sign perhaps that Quebeckers were fed up with being represented in Ottawa by a party that doesn't want Canada to exist in its present form. Party leader Gilles Duceppe lost his seat.
Before the election the Bloc, the federal offshoot of a party that wants independence for French-speaking Quebec, had 47 seats, a strong majority of seats in the province.It may even give the Canadian dollar an extra boost, given the fact that perhaps that the question of sovereignty is really going to be put on the back burner,said Serge Pepin, of BMO Investments in Toronto.Canadian markets should react relatively positively.In a first for Canada, Green Party leader Elizabeth May had a chance of capturing the party's first seat in the Canadian Parliament, where she would be a vocal critic of a Conservative government that doesn't believe in global warming. Before the election, the Conservatives had 143 seats, compared to 77 for the Liberals and 36 for the New Democrats. There were two independents and three seats were vacant.The Conservatives will now have a four-year term in office, with the next federal election due in 2015.(Additional reporting by Pav Jordan, Jeffrey Jones, Scott Haggett, Randall Palmer, Allan Dowd and Louise Egan; Editing by Eric Walsh)
Canada's Conservatives win coveted majority

We're elated, Conservative lawmaker Jason Kenney said in an interview with CBC. We'll be a government for all Canadians.The leftist New Democrats are projected to become the main opposition party for the first time in Canadian history with 106 seats, in a stunning upset over the Liberals who have always been either in power or leading the opposition.Former colleagues of Harper say his long-term goals are to kill the image of the Liberals — the party of Jean Chretien, Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau — as the natural party of government in Canada, and to redefine what it means to be Canadian.Harper took a major step toward that on Monday night as the Liberals dropped to 35 seats from 77, according to the preliminary results.
Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff congratulated Harper and New Democrat leader Jack Layton and accepted responsibility for the historic defeat.I will play any part that the party wishes me to play as we go forward to rebuild, Ignatieff said.Stephen Clarkson, professor at the University of Toronto said Harper will now be considered a transformative figure in Canadian history.It's a sea change, Clarkson said.The New Democrats' gains are being attributed to Layton's strong performance in the debates, a folksy, upbeat message and a desire by the French-speakers in Quebec, the second most populous province, for a new face after growing weary of the separatist Bloc Quebecois.The NDP's gains marked a remarkable shift in a campaign started out weeks ago looking like a straight battle between Harper and Ignatieff, with the 60-year-old Layton recovering from prostate cancer and a broken hip.Harper campaigned on a message that the New Democrats stood for higher taxes, higher spending, higher prices, protectionism. He called the election a choice between a Conservative majority and a ramshackle coalition led by the NDP that will not last but will do a lot of destruction.

Canada's Conservatives win coveted majority By Rob Gillies, Associated Press – MAY 3,2011 9:30AM
TORONTO – Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper won his coveted majority government in elections that changed Canada's political landscape, with the opposition Liberals and Quebec separatists suffering a shattering defeat.Harper, who took office in 2006, has won two elections but until Monday's vote had never held a majority of Parliament's 308 seats, forcing him to rely on the opposition to pass legislation.Harper has deliberately avoided sweeping policy changes that could derail his government, but now has an opportunity to pass any legislation he wants with his new majority.While Harper's hold on Parliament has been tenuous during his five-year tenure, he has managed to nudge an instinctively center-left country to the right. He has gradually lowered sales and corporate taxes, avoided climate change legislation that would harm Alberta's oil sands sector, promoted Arctic sovereignty, upped military spending and extended Canada's military mission in Afghanistan. He has also staunchly backed Israel's right-wing government.Elections Canada reported results on its website, giving the Conservatives 167 seats, which will give Harper four years of uninterrupted government.
We are grateful, deeply honored, in fact humbled by the decisive endorsement of so many Canadians, Harper told elated supporters at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta.The leftist New Democratic Party became the main opposition party for the first time in Canadian history with 102 seats, tripling their support in a stunning setback for the Liberals who have always been either in power or leading the opposition.It's a historic night for New Democrats, NDP leader Jack Layton told a delirious crowd in downtown Toronto.Harper was helped by the NDP surge, which split the left-of-center vote in many districts, handing victory to Conservative candidates, especially in Ontario, where the Liberals were decimated in their last national stronghold.Former colleagues of Harper say his long-term goals are to shatter the image of the Liberals — the party of former Prime Ministers Jean Chretien, Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau — as the natural party of government in Canada, and to redefine what it means to be Canadian.Harper, who comes from the conservative western province of Alberta, took a major step toward that goal on Monday night as the Liberals suffered their worst defeat in Canadian history — dropping to 34 seats from 77.Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff congratulated Harper and New Democrat leader Jack Layton and accepted responsibility for the historic defeat.Democracy teaches hard lessons, and we have to learn them all, Ignatieff told a somber gathering in Toronto.Ignatieff, who even lost his own seat in a Toronto suburb, said, I will play any part that the party wishes me to play as we go forward to rebuild.Stephen Clarkson, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto, said the 52-year-old Harper should now be considered a transformative figure in Canadian history.It's a sea change,Clarkson said.
The New Democrats' gains are being attributed to Layton's strong performance in the debates, a folksy, upbeat message, and a desire by the French-speakers in Quebec, the second most populous province, for a new face and a federalist option after two decades of supporting a separatist party.Voters indicated they had grown weary with the separatist Bloc Quebecois, which had a shocking drop to four seats from 47 in the last Parliament. Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe lost his own seat and immediately resigned. Quebeckers said separatism was still an important force, despite the province's rejection of the Bloc.I would caution anyone to think that the independence movement is dead at any time,said Bruce Hicks, a political scientist at the Universite de Montreal.This is one of those burning embers things. It takes very little to ignite it, but right now it's only embers.The Green party won its first seat ever in the House of Commons with leader Elizabeth May winning in a British Columbia district. The Conservatives got 40 percent of the vote, compared to 31 percent for the NDP and a dismal 19 percent for the Liberals.The NDP's gains marked a remarkable shift in a campaign that started out weeks ago looking like a straight battle between Harper and Ignatieff, a distinguished academic, with the 60-year-old Layton recovering from prostate cancer and a broken hip.Harper counted on the economy to help hand him the majority. Canada has outperformed other major industrialized democracies through the financial crisis, recovering almost all the jobs lost during the recession while its banking sector remains intact. He said he would continue his plan to create jobs and growth without raising taxes.He campaigned in the last few days on a message that the New Democrats stood for higher taxes, higher spending, higher prices and protectionism. He called the election a choice between a Conservative majority and a ramshackle coalition led by the NDP that will not last but will do a lot of destruction.
Harper asked for a majority government at the start of the campaign, Canada's fourth election in the past seven years. In past elections, Harper's Conservatives did not explicitly ask for a majority to avoid raising fears among Canadians that they would implement a hidden right-wing agenda. Canadians can now turn the page on the uncertainties and repeat elections of the past seven years and focus on building a great future for all of us,Harper said.Harper plans to pass a budget and toughen Canada's crime laws when Parliament resumes. He also plans to cut off public subsidies for political parties, something that will further harm the centrist Liberals who have had trouble raising funds.Gerry Nicholls, who worked under Harper at a conservative think tank, has said that having the New Democrats as the main opposition party would be ideal for Harper because it would define Canadian politics in clearer terms of left vs. right. Harper believes the Conservatives will win elections more often than not if the opposition is a social democrat party like the New Democrats.The Conservatives have built support in rural areas and with the Tim Hortons crowd — a reference to a chain of doughnut shops popular with working class Canadians. They also have blitzed the country with TV attack ads, running them even during telecasts of the Academy Awards and the Super Bowl.Ignatieff, a 63-year-old former Harvard professor, was unable to overcome the Conservative attacks and inspire voters. Lawrence Martin, a political columnist for The Globe and Mail newspaper and author of Harperland: The Politics of Control,calls Harper the most autocratic and partisan prime minister Canada has ever had.But to remain in office through the longest period of minority government in Canadian history, Harper had to engage in a constant balancing act. The three opposition parties combined held 160 seats in the last Parliament, while the Conservatives held 143. The Liberals held 77, the New Democrats 36 and the Bloc Quebecois 47.Associated Press Writers Jeremy Hainsworth in Vancouver, British Columbia, Charmaine Noronha in Toronto, and Selena Ross and Sean Farrell in Montreal contributed to this report.
Canadian dollar firms as Conservatives look set to keep power
MAY 3,11
TORONTO (Reuters) – The Canadian dollar firmed on Monday as Canada's ruling Conservatives looked set to retain power in a federal election, though pollsters said it was too early to say if the party would get a majority or stay in power with a minority.The currency firmed as high as C$0.9483 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0545. The currency had ended the North American session at C$0.9508 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0517.(Reporting by Jeffrey Hodgson; Editing by Eric Walsh)
Conservatives romp to crushing Canadian election win
By Janet Guttsman and David Ljunggren - MAY 3,11
OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada's ruling Conservatives won a crushing victory in Monday's federal election, as the left wing vote split between two parties and the separatist Bloc Quebecois faded to almost nothing.Still provisional results showed the Conservatives had 167 seats in Parliament, well above the 155 they needed to transform their minority government into a majority. They won 40 percent of the vote, more than most pollsters had expected.The results are as they should be, Conservative supporter Fred Biddle said at Prime Minister Stephen Harper's raucous victory party in Calgary. It looks like we are back to a two party system in Canada: Conservatives and all the rest.The Conservatives, describing themselves as the guardians of a surprisingly resilient Canadian economy, had stressed throughout the election campaign that they needed a majority to keep the economy strong.The Canadian dollar firmed as the results emerged, and analysts expected the stock market to follow it up on Tuesday.(A Conservative majority) is likely to be seen as a positive in the world's financial markets for the Canadian dollar,said Jack Spitz, Managing Director of foreign exchange at National Bank Financial.The provisional results showed the left-leaning NDP winning around 103 seats, by far its strongest showing ever, and catapulting itself into the position of Canada's official opposition.
It is amazing to see a tripling of the seats for the NDP. It gives me hope for change, said Megan Ciurysek, a 26-year-old Polish-Canadian, who described the result as bittersweet. To have a majority Conservative government is unbelievably disappointing.The NDP gains came largely at the expense of the Bloc and of the once-mighty Liberal Party, which lost more than half its seats in a dismal black eye for party leader Michael Ignatieff, a broadcaster and academic turned politician who never managed to connect with Canadians.The result was a historical low for the Liberals, who saw both their lowest-ever seat total and their smallest share of the popular vote, at just under 20 percent.
PARTY MERGER TALK
The monumental nature of their defeat will prompt more talk about a possible merger with New Democrats to create a unified center-left party capable of defeating the Conservatives.It was not clear that Ignatieff would retain his own seat.Democracy teaches hard lessons and we have to learn them all, he said in a sad address to the party faithful.The Bloc Quebecois were set to win just three seats, a sign perhaps that Quebeckers were fed up with being represented in Ottawa by a party that doesn't want Canada to exist in its present form. Party leader Gilles Duceppe lost his seat.
Before the election the Bloc, the federal offshoot of a party that wants independence for French-speaking Quebec, had 47 seats, a strong majority of seats in the province.It may even give the Canadian dollar an extra boost, given the fact that perhaps that the question of sovereignty is really going to be put on the back burner,said Serge Pepin, of BMO Investments in Toronto.Canadian markets should react relatively positively.In a first for Canada, Green Party leader Elizabeth May had a chance of capturing the party's first seat in the Canadian Parliament, where she would be a vocal critic of a Conservative government that doesn't believe in global warming. Before the election, the Conservatives had 143 seats, compared to 77 for the Liberals and 36 for the New Democrats. There were two independents and three seats were vacant.The Conservatives will now have a four-year term in office, with the next federal election due in 2015.(Additional reporting by Pav Jordan, Jeffrey Jones, Scott Haggett, Randall Palmer, Allan Dowd and Louise Egan; Editing by Eric Walsh)
