The story as it unwinds seems too scripted to be true. That
Army psychiatrist and Major Nidal M. Hasan went on a rampage at Fort Hood with
two guns blazing, a .357 Magnum and a semi-automatic pistol with laser
target-finder, after shouting the Arabic phrase ‘Allah Akbar’ (God is Greatest)
as he opened fire, and will live (so far) to talk about it, though an
Army-appointed lawyer says he will never get a fair trial.
Hasan coincidentally received his masters in chemistry at
Virginia Tech, famous for the infamous Seung-Hui
Cho, the campus killer gunman credited on April 19, 2007, with the
deadliest shooting rampage in modern history. Seung-Hui’s sister curiously
works for a State Department office that oversees billions of dollars in
American aid for Iraq. See the link to Citizens for Legitimate Government on
him and his ‘Missing Records.’ It’s more of the script, the association of
Hasan with Seung-Hui.
Consider, too, that in 2007, Major Hasan, who received his
medical degree in psychiatry from Walter Reed Hospital, spoke there, warning of
threats within the ranks of Muslim Soldiers in a 50-slide Power-Point
presentation, titled The Koranic World
View As it Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military. “He stood before his
supervisors and about 25 other mental health staff members and lectured on
Islam, suicide bombers and threats the military could encounter from Muslims
conflicted about fighting in the Muslim countries of Iraq and Afghanistan,”
reports the Nov.
10 Washington Post, which includes Hasan’s entire presentation.
Hasan went so far as to say, “It’s getting harder and harder
for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems
constantly engaged against fellow Muslims.” How and why these words didn’t get
his military superiors to question him seems beyond understanding, unless that,
too, was part of the script. Could it be that they felt he was speaking the
truth? But there was a more than veiled threat in the presentation, which
you’ll see if you read it.
In fact, Hasan entered Walter Reed in 2003 and spent six
years as an intern, resident and fellow. He was transferred to Fort Hood as
a psychiatrist in July 2009 and was to leave soon for Afghanistan and had asked on
numerous occasions not to be deployed. He even offered the U.S. government its money back for
his Walter Reed education, every dollar of it. He did not want to fight fellow
Muslims. Yet no one raised an eye? This is a U.S. Army major speaking, not some
slacker from the sticks trying to dodge combat.
Of course, aside from his glaringly strong (if not correct)
feelings against the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, his supervisors found him quite
competent counseling wounded PTSD soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the NY Times’ Details
Emerge about Fort Hood suspect’s history, “Col. Kimberly Kesling, deputy
commander of clinical services at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood,
said she had known Hasan.
“‘You wouldn’t think that someone who works in your facility
and provided excellent care for his patients, which he did, could do something
like this,’ Kesling said. She described him as ‘a quiet man who wouldn’t seek
the limelight’ and said she was shocked when she heard he was the suspect in
the shootings.’” One can only imagine the tales he heard, which would only
bolster his philosophical antipathy to the War
on Terror, which he considered and claims to be a war on Islam, with which
any number of Americans would agree.
This is all vaguely reminiscent of supposed
communist-sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald and his feelings for Cuba, which
purportedly drove him towards a similar “lone gunman” assassination of
President Kennedy, which today is amply questioned by millions of Americans who
believe it involved the CIA, the Mob, the Defense Industry, and George H.W.
Bush, Sr., among a number of the usual suspects.
Yet, an ABC News headline from Nov. 9 screams Officials:
U.S. Army Told of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda: Army Major in Fort
Hood Massacre Used ‘Electronic Means’ (the computer) to Connect with Terrorists:
“U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with an
individual associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on
classified material in the case told ABC News. According to the officials, the Army was informed of Hasan’s contact, but it is unclear
what, if anything, the Army did in response.”
Why is it unclear, or is it just being withheld, or is there
nothing of consequence to report, or is it a sheer lie?
This is coming from ABC News, which on every anniversary of
JFK’s assassination, runs a “last word” piece on how it was committed by a lone
gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, the network being a long-standing CIA front. And
here, they have automatically established that the fabled ‘Al Qaeda,’ created,
funded, and branded by the CIA, was in contact with Major Hasan. So, what did
they do about it? Nothing! Read the balance of the article for the indignant
ire of the politicians, so reminiscent of all the leads to the CIA and other
presences in the JFK assassination, whose inquiry was led by Allan Dulles, the
CIA head Kennedy fired for the creation of the Bay of Pigs’ invasion.
Of course, echoing ABC News is the New York Times with U.S.
Knew of Suspect’s Tie to Radical Cleric. Aha, even more ties on the path to
jihad, even more foreknowledge: “Intelligence agencies intercepted
communications last year and this year between the military psychiatrist
accused of shooting to death 13 people at Fort Hood, Tex., and a
radical cleric in Yemen known for his
incendiary anti-American teachings [itals
mine].” And what did they do
about it?
“But the federal authorities dropped an inquiry into the
matter after deciding that the messages from the psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, did not
suggest any threat of violence and concluding that no further action was
warranted, government officials said Monday.” Oh, then why mention it in the
first place? It goes on . . .
“Major Hasan’s 10 to 20 messages to Anwar al-Awlaki, once a
spiritual leader at a mosque in suburban Virginia where Major Hasan worshiped,
indicate that the troubled [now he’s
nuts] military psychiatrist came to the attention of the authorities long
before last Thursday’s shooting rampage at Fort Hood, but that the authorities
left him in his post.” Why? Why? Why? Unless it’s all sheer BS.
Is this not reminiscent of 9/11 and the continued
incompetence before, during and after it of various intelligence and government
agencies, not to mention NORAD, the Pentagon, the executive branch? And nary a
soul was fired after the terrible event.
All they could do was blame 19 head-shots of Muslims pulled
out of a file by FBI Director Robert Mueller, who wouldn’t claim with complete
surety their authenticity. And then the next step was declaring the War on Terror and preemptively,
illegally, attacking Afghanistan, supposedly in search of (the Muslim goat)
Osama bin Laden, who supposedly engineered it. Several years after 9/11, he was
taken off the FBI’s Most Wanted list for the crime for lack of evidence to
prove he was responsible for it. And then there was Iraq, claiming this time
(the Muslim goat) Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and was about
to use them any second, which was subsequently proven totally false.
So now Hasan is buried in Al Qaeda next to a radical cleric
with strong anti-American teachings. Paydirt! The news networks have created a
grid-like spider-web that holds its fly morsel, Hasan, to shame Islam. Does
this not buttress the whole sagging “conspiracy theory” of the administration,
particularly as more and more books, DVDs, architects, engineers, military men,
pilots speak out against the flaws in the administration’s “9/11 conspiracy
theory?” Does this not hit us over the head again with “a Muslim did it,
remember 9/11?” Why was the intelligence at Fort Hood, the FBI, and CIA asleep
at the wheel -- perhaps part of the script?
It also comes out in the same Times story linked above, “In
2000 and 2001, Mr. Awlaki [the radical cleric] served as an imam at two mosques
in the United States
frequented by three future Sept. 11 hijackers. Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi attended the Rabat
mosque in San Diego,
where Mr. Awlaki later admitted meeting Mr. Hazmi several times but ‘claimed
not to remember any specifics of what they discussed,’ according to the report
of the national Sept. 11 commission.” Uh huh, uh huh, we’re building to
something here and . . .
“Both Mr. Hazmi and another hijacker, Hani Hanjour, later
attended the Dar al Hijrah mosque in Falls
Church, Va., after
Mr. Awlaki had moved there in early 2001. The Sept. 11 commission report
expressed ‘suspicion’ about the coincidence, but said its investigators were
unable to find Mr. Awlaki to question him.” Yes, but . . .
“Major Hasan attended the same Virginia mosque, but it is not known whether
they met there.” Hasan attended the same mosque, but it’s not known if he and
Hani, the idiot who couldn’t fly a Cessna, met there. But nevertheless we take
from this, if you’re political I.Q. isn’t below 40, the implication that Hasan was connected to the hijackers, because
he’s a “nut killer terrorist,” too.
Yet who left him to do his killing but the very people in
charge of his career. Or maybe someone in the backroom said, “Hands off Hasan.
We have other plans for him. He’s in the bigger picture.” Ah, so much like
Oswald, or David Chapman who shot John Lennon. Chapman then calmly sat down on
the sidewalk after he did it, waiting for the police to come and take him. His
handler, the doorman Jose Perdomo, went gone for the day, saying bye-bye to
Chapman, as this Manchurian patsy went off to life imprisonment. And not in a
mental hospital, but in a straight-up prison, which he “chose” to do, uh huh,
uh huh.
And yet there’s more. Hasan supposedly wasn’t a lone gunman.
No, he had three accomplices they say, one dead, and two in custody. Sort of
makes sense. I mean to kill 13 people and wound 29 in a matter of minutes,
supposedly thrusting a hundred rounds of ammo into the clips of his two pistols,
Hasan would have to be John Wayne plus Superman. It would ruin the whole movie.
But who are the accomplices? Well, there’s an account
from CNN of the capture of one of them on a golf course two and a half
miles away as 30 to 40 sirening cars full of MPs came to get him. Here is the
short piece . . .
“(CNN) -- A senior officer who was playing golf
Thursday near Fort Hood, Texas, told CNN he witnessed the arrest of one of the
two surviving suspects of the shooting at the Army installation.
“Shortly after the shooting, the officer said, military
police told him to clear the course and he saw other MPs surround the building
that held the golf carts, he said.
The senior officer said he ducked into a nearby house for
cover as 30 to 40 cars carrying MPs approached.
“He said he saw a soldier in battle-dress uniform, his hands
in the air. The MPs ordered him to lie on the ground and open his uniform,
presumably to ensure he was not carrying explosives, the senior officer said.”
Presumably, they found no bomb.
“He said an MP told him that authorities considered the man
to be a suspect in the shootings after having overheard the man say he was with
the shooter. The man was surrounded for 25 to 30 minutes, until a convoy of
vehicles arrived, led by a Ford Crown Victoria
and carrying men in suits, and he was taken away, the senior officer said.”
Sirening up to a suspect in 40 cars, wow, that’s stealth for you. And who was
the man? And where is he now?
But they probably caught a few other suspects as well. I
wonder if they’re all Muslims. And speaking of that, how do we jibe Hasan’s
violent nature with Reuters’ article U.S. Army
gunman’s act “impossible” – grandfather, who by the way lives on the West
Bank in Palestine, where the Hasan family came from via Jordan to America.
“AL-BIREH, West Bank, Nov 7 (Reuters) - The grandfather of a
U.S. Army psychiatrist accused of shooting dead 13 people and wounding 30
others at a base in Texas said on Saturday he found it impossible to believe
his grandson had committed the act.
“’He is a doctor and loves the U.S.’ Ismail Mustafa Hamad
told Reuters in an interview at his home in the Palestinian town of al-Bireh.
‘America made him what he is.’” Now, there’s a certain, deep irony to that
statement.
The article concludes ”Hasan, who had spent years counseling
wounded soldiers, many of whom had lost limbs fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan,
last visited him in the occupied West Bank some 10 years ago. Hamad said he had
since visited his grandson in the United States. Hamad appeared to
rule out a political motive.” Didn’t the poor old man know everything is
political everywhere in this universe?
And so it goes, the contradictions, the lies, the suspected
truth of what this orchestrated event means, and how it will bolster,
supercharge resentment against Muslims once again and perpetuate our wars
against their nations. And the folks who hold the puppet strings, will we be
seeing them, hearing from them, or just listening to their news releases?
Conflicting, accusatory, guilt in the highest from association, etc. All I can say
is, “Good night, America, and good luck.”
