No, I�m not talking about making a movie of
Erica Jong�s best-selling novel, Fear of Flying, which was scripted and shot by Columbia and flopped big
time. It flopped in spite of her big bold successful book about a woman
shrink/poet, liberating herself from her husband, her fears, neuroses and
sexual inhibitions to get as big a sexual bang for her buck out of life as
Tiger Woods, alpha male.
No, the �fear of flying� script I�m talking about is being
played out in the movie of life, starring Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, who needs
to shorten that moniker for the marquee, and to make room for its cast of
thousands if not millions. But then what do the CIA scripters know about these
things? Quite a bit. In this case, a nice long, Muslim name is an asset as is
Mr. Mutallab, �a Nigerian Terrorist Patsy,� as historian Webster Tarpley
described him in �Yet
another CIA ploy in the US-backed buildup of al Qaeda in Yemen civil war.�
And Yemen has oil. Of course, oil is the deadly pleasure-treasure of the
insatiable, oil-horny US. What then?
Well, as Tarpley points out, Mutallab had a one-way ticket
to travel to Detroit bought in Ghana for several thousand in cash.
And he reportedly entered Nigeria
illegally. More importantly, in Amsterdam�s
airport, Mutallab was assisted at the Northwest Airlines gate by a
�well-dressed Indian� [producer?] who explained that Umar Farouk had no
passport. And that he was a mere Sudanese refugee. And so we must let him on.
This besides the fact that Abdul�s former banker father was talking to
�someone� at the CIA about his son�s extremist views, as CNN reports,
and a report was made but not circulated outside the agency.
We could say that the Central Intelligence Agency bungled it
by not passing on the information, but hey, what kind of a script would that
make? The story would be over before it started. And after all, who had
recruited and trained Mutallab as starring patsy? So the plotline moved on, revealing
more and more plotlines and players.
As Tarpley elaborates, �These egregious lapses in normal
procedure show that Umar Farouk was part of an orchestration sponsored by the
CIA, which has now yielded 4 solid days of media hysteria. Obama has formulated
his new version of the Axis of Evil, composed of Afghanistan-Pakistan,
Somalia, and Yemen. In Yemen, a civil war pits the Saudi-backed central
government against the Iranian-backed Shiite Houthi rebels, whom the US has bombed
at least twice this month.� See, now we have some fun, action, ass-kicking,
drones, special effects.
More, Tarpley sees the script widening its subplots to
include playing �Iran
against Saudi Arabia so as
to weaken both the pro-Moscow Ahmadinejad government in Iran, and also those Saudi forces that are fed
up with their status as a US
protectorate. There we go. We have to hold the world�s attention span here.
This is a potential blockbuster Christmas story, obscuring even Jesus� birth.
Tarpley adds, �The US is openly now sponsoring a regroupment
of �al Qaeda� (the CIA
Moslem legion) in Yemen,
including by sending fighters direct from Guantanamo.
The new CIA-promoted entity, synthetic entity, is �Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula� or AQAP, a gaggle of US patsies,
dupes, and fanatics who are claiming credit for the Umar Farouk incident. The US hopes to further dominate the exit from the
Red Sea and the Suez Canal, while also easing pressure on the battered US
dollar by jacking up the price of oil in an atmosphere of tension on the Arabian Peninsula.� Roll over Coppola. This is thicker
than the Godfather, though Don
Corleone would give his best soldier for a piece of this action. So let�s make
Umar an offer he can�t refuse.
Offer him a movie as Umar, soft-headed patsy sent with 80
grams of the military explosive PETN sewn into his Fruit of the Looms to blow
up a Northwestern flight from Amsterdam as it�s about to land in Detroit. This
is on Christmas Day no less, just in case anybody�s trying to journey to or
from family celebrations or to have a good time at home with same. The story is
somewhat derivative of the idiot shoe bomber Richard Reid�s who had only about
50 PETN grams that he placed in his sneaker, yet failed to blow himself and a Miami-bound
airliner up in 2001, giving himself a cozy jail cell in hell. Jesus, these Langley guys have no
respect, not even for their own faith.
But, as the Times of London tells us, Yemen is the
focus of a new front against al Qaeda. �The Pentagon is to spend more than $70 million over the next 18
months, and use teams of Special Forces to train and equip Yemeni military,
interior Ministry and coast guard Forces.�
�The United States has quietly opened a third, largely
covert front against the Al-Qaeda terror network in Yemen, according to the New
York Times.
�A year ago, the Central Intelligence Agency sent a number
of its top field operatives with counter-terrorism experience to the country,
the newspaper said.
�At the same time, some of the most secretive special
operations commandos have begun training Yemeni security forces in
counter-terrorism tactics, the report said.�
So it�s false-flags away, folks, patsies, loons and goons,
here, there and everywhere, to get some fear into the air.
As
to the oil, Reuters reports, �Yemen has received investment offers from oil
majors including Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) and
Total (TOTF.PA),
Oil Minister Amir al-Aidarous said in remarks published on Saturday.
�Yemen�s Ministry for Oil and Mineral Resources has received
eight oil investment bids from international companies, pan-Arab daily al-Hayat
quoted Aidarous as saying, four of which were from oil majors seeking direct
negotiations with Yemen.
�The companies include Exxon Mobil, Total, and BP (BP.L), the
minister said, but did not elaborate on the nature of the investments.
�Other companies that made bids included Austrian oil and
gas group OMV (OMVV.VI),
Nexen NXN.TO, and Occidental (OXY.N), he
said.
�Aidarous said Yemen, as part of measures to
encourage investments in its oil industry, would raise the state�s share in
production costs. The higher revenue from the increased government
participation would offset the decline in oil prices, he said.
�Yemen
exports about 200,000 barrels of oil per day.�
I say, should we go back to Central Intelligence casting and
get George Clooney involved? He did so well with his oil-jackals� flick, Syriana. He might have some more good
filmic twists for the script, perhaps even an aborted love story, like a
lap-dancing girlfriend for Farouk, or a coke habit, or a job flying dope into Florida.
Then we have this report from Prison Planet: FBI
Silent on Plane Bomber�s Accomplice. It came from a Flight 253 eyewitness,
Kurt Haskell who revealed how the FIB, excuse me, FBI, purposely hid the
presence of a second man, about 30, arrested for trailing the Christmas Day
plane bombing incident as bomb-sniffing dogs got a whiff of a second possible
explosive device in his luggage, which then caused the passengers to be delayed
for six hours as the suspect was grilled. The passengers were then told,
�You�re being moved. It is not safe here.� The FIB man said, �I�m sure you all
saw what happened and can read between the lines and why you�re being moved.�
Oh boy, nothing like full disclosure. More fear.
But Haskell, like his wife, is a lawyer, and began to ask his
own questions and the FBI tried to control the questioning, including why they
were using photos to ID the suspect rather than surveillance videos.
Additionally, the suspect had been videoing the whole flight on board,
including the botched bombing try. Haskell�s bottom line was that the FBI�s
bungling put the passengers more in danger than they were already in. Adding
insult to injury, they had been told to stay seated in the aircraft 20 minutes
after landing despite security not knowing there was an explosive onboard or if
the fire Abdul started in the decent had spread to the floor or cabin or fuel
tanks in the wings. Somebody want to give Haskell and his wife medals for guts
and intelligence, standing up to these thugs.
I keep seeing Clooney as Haskell, the gritty handsome face,
telling them where to go. Speaking of that, where does this movie go, except to
total global war? It�s turning into another Apocalypse
Now end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it flick. But we�re all in it. That�s the
point. Keep false-flagging the people to frighten them and prevent the USAPATRIOT
Act from elapsing, but is, instead, renacted for more subversion of civil
liberties.
At least Erica Jong gave us a story of human liberation.
�Though Isadora Wing fears flying (in all possible senses of the word),� as the
author�s site tells us, �she forces herself to keep traveling, to risk her
marriage and her life in pursuit of her own brand of liberation. How she finds
it and loses her fear is what Fear of
Flying is all about.�
So, how do we work through �our issues� here, which will
become the script, the filmed story of our liberation from this hapless band of
demons who continue to haunt us and take the joy from our lives, even on
Christmas day, New Year�s Eve, every day, with their goddamned terror alerts,
color codes, endless police, threats, warnings, Homeland Insecurity, and filthy
lucre wars.
When do we dive into the pleasure of life, abandoning false
security, fake safety, phobias, fears, inhibitions, and experience the
liberation true freedom brings? Central Intelligence is demented not
intelligent. It is the Capo de capos of terrorists, scripting and acting out
these mad plots. Isn�t it time them to tell them enough, literally attacking us
as the government did on 9/11? So, let�s go exorcise Langley headquarters, like
Alan Ginsberg, Dr. Spock, et al, exorcised the Pentagon in 1967, saying We Are
the People. They are the Geeks.
And if you think there�s a word of truth in their various
scenarios, scripts, false-flag movies, 911 official lies, then they�ve
hypnotized you, like Hasan, Oswald, Sirhan, Atta, Bin Laden, James Earl Raye,
John Hinckley, Arthur Bremer, Mark David Chapman, and the latest greates, Umar
Farouk Abdul Mutallab, who says I�m
the first of many, recanting CIA liturgy. Therefore, if you want your
jollies out of life not just fear, you�re going to have to face the Mutallabs,
the fear of flying and everything else they�re warning you about until you
fight back and learn one thing: who the real terrorists are.
