Note - this is an early draft, but this speak for the dozens of people who suspected early on that the "attack of the anti-muslim youtube video" was manufactured by terrorist who tricked americans into helping them make a film which could then be used to target American, Israel, Copts, and ultimate the american ambassador of Libya.
Youtube routinely takes down videos which make islamists look bad such as memri translations, as well as nazi and pro-al queda and anwar al-awlaki videos, porn and racism, but if there is any possibility that a terrorist state or organization was responsible for the video, it should be taken down by youtube which can cause enormous harm because of its scale.
The Innocence / Attack of the Anti-Islamic Movie
Four Americans including Ambassador Christopher Stevens were
killed by what appears to be the first successful Sept 11 attack since 9 Arabs
hijacked four airliners under the banner of militant Islamism in 2001. It took
the Obama administration a week to acknowledge that just maybe it was a
terrorist attack. That shouldn’t be too surprising since they still officially
classify the 2009 Fort Hood shootings, the worst terrorist attack on US
soil since 9/11 as a “workplace violence” incident. Obama never acknowledged
any direct relationship to the religion
or politics of the shooter who had asked no less than Imam Anwar al-Awlaki,
later killed by drones for terrorism and spiritual advisor to the Pentagon
hijackers for religious guidance on shooting US soldiers.
But this time, it seems as if terrorists hijacked a
seemingly innocent Youtube video instead of airliners as the battering ram of
choice. The film was widely reported to insult and depict the “Islamic Prophet
Muhammad as a womanizing fraud”. The press widely reported that it was outrage
over the film that was the rallying cry of protesters who scaled the walls of
the American embassy in Egypt
and scrawled graffiti honoring Osama bin Laden, and flying an Islamist flag
typically flown by Al Queda. No evidenced of any connection to terrorism there.
3 protesters were killed in the Iranian client state of Sudan near the U.S.
embassy, and another in Lebanon Tunis Vietnam
But as the American right wing circled their wagons around
free speech and argued that the violence had nothing to do with the video, I
noticed a few things amiss, and wondered if Al Queda or somebody else had
actually commissioned the video as a tool to attack the United States, Israel,
Egyptian Copts and the counter-jihad movment all in one. This Sam Becile
filmmaker seems to be the one bad character that has a history of committing
crimes and serial lying, infiltrating Copt groups in the United States and
tricking them into producing movie which was first promoted as if it were an Al
Queda terrorist recruiting movie, and then promoted as a movie which goes out
of its way to insult The Prophet.
What has only been reported in blogs
is that the original title of the movie was “The Innocence of Bin Laden”, which
implies sympathy for the hero of Al Queda terrorists. people in Hollywood spotted a promotional poster in
Arabic advertising its theatrical showing in Arabic, and a couple of people
took pictures. The Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) noticed
advertisements in the paper and they wondered if “it was some kind of pro-jihadist movie Hollywood blogger, John Walsh was also alarmed
by the title of the film, saying "There is an alarming event occurring in Hollywood
Oddly for a movie widely quoted as
being anti-muslim, the poster did not denigrate Muslims, but rather referred to
"my Muslim brother". In a translation provided by the ADL, the poster
stated it would reveal "the real terrorist who caused the killing of our
children In Palestine, and our brothers in Iraq
and Afghanistan ."
Steven Klein’s excuse for the title was that their plan was to attract
terrorists to see the movie and then enrage them.
Photo by Current TV producer "By the name of
Allah almighty, and for the occasion of Ramadan, the holy month, may it always
bring bless...etc... We announce the big movie: Innocence of Ben Laden. For the
same time in international cinema, see, my Muslim brethren, the real terrorist
holding the evidence of his guilt, that terrorist which caused the deaths of
our children in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq."
However, that does not fully explain the coded language. The
language appears to not only revere Islam, but the radical variety espoused by
Osama Bin Laden. Who is this true terrorist that kills Muslims in Palestine , Iraq
and Afghanistan ?
The answer is obscure to most Americans
but easy for those familiar with pro-Palestine pro-Arab propaganda – the USA . Residents
of Ramallah in the West Bank consider Bin
Laden to not only be innocent, but a hero. Colin Nickerson of the Boston Globe on the first anniversary
of 9/11 in 2002 got this quote from a resident said Ahmed Rezak Shamasneh whose
house was destroyed by Israeli tanks: ''America is the true terrorist ''It is
the ally of Israel, which is killing our people [in Palestine]. It is the
country that drops bombs on poor Afghans.''
If you google search “bin laden innocent”, the first article
that shows up is “Osama bin
Laden: Closing the Case on an Innocent Man” which condemns the
killing of Bin Laden and argues that the alleged terrorist was innocent. That’s
an ususual position for an American named named Gordon Duff who claims to be an
Marine who is editor of a website for veterans called Veterans Today. He claims: that “He knew nothing of Al Qaeda,
never planned 9/11, never advocated terrorism, not once”. The REAL terrorist?
“Bin Laden condemns terrorism and says that the US
government, Israel
and the press are using terrorism against the American people in order to
frighten them into going to war, the endless war going on today”. Who kills
muslims in Afghanistan ?
“bin Laden refers to the invasion of Afghanistan as a Jewish crusade…
Mossad operations…have been responsible for training and supplying the Taliban
inside Pakistan ” Who killed
muslims in Iraq ?
“the attack on Iraq
is now known to have been planned as part of the Project for a New American
Century..run by Israeli citizens inside the United
States ” Palestine ?
In the letter by Usama Bin Ladin “to the Pakistani people, ““All that is going
on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God
upon the United States and Israel.”
What is Veterans Today? The Anti-defamation League (ADL)
notes VT continues the tradition of the neo-Nazi American Free Press (AFP) conspiracy-oriented newspaper in promoting
anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories. VT is just one of a vast network of anti-Israel,
pro-Iran conspiracists who “blame Israel Israel
Accoring to Duff’s
biography on
Veterans Today, Gordon Duff is
the “military affairs analyst for Press TV, is regularly on TV and radio, a
popular and sometimes controversial guest” , which means he actually works for
an official Iranian government agency
and acts as one of the US-based spokesmen. Not surprisingly, everything he says
matches the official position of the Iranian government.
While few have
directly accused Gordon Duff of being an agent of Iran, Mike Fegelman executive
director of pro-Israel HonestReporting Canada called Iran’s Press TV “Iran’s
Hateful Mouthpiece in Canada” which , featuring reports which “disseminate
radical propaganda and spew anti-Semitic tropes.” He noted Calgary
based Josh Blakeney, like the Iranian government, promoted promoted 9/11
conspiracy theories blaming Israel
In the 1950s,
black poet Frank Marshall Davis was recognized as being an agent for Stalinist
Russia as a member of the Communist Party of the USA America doesn’t have anyone in the government investigating
if America ’s new enemies
such as Iran
It is certainly
possible, indeed consider the small number of people and organizations who
boldly proclaim the “innocence of Bin
Laden” that the same people who write his materials also wrote that propaganda
poster. It is like an ideological
fingerprint or DNA. Nobody else so boldy proclaims the innocence of bin
laden than amadinijad of Iran ,
nor proclaims so much outrage over deaths of muslims in Palestine ,
iraq and Afghanistan Iran
Duff and a
network of other writers on Veterans Today immediately began a massive disinformation
campaign of conspiracy theories blaming the CIA, Mossad, Copts, “extremist
Christians”, Israel and the US Saudi
Arabia , which Iran Iran
could have anything to do with this even though we know Iran Iran
So even if we
don’t have direct evidence, we need to speculate and investigate if the
speculation could be true – that Iran recruited an agent to infiltrate the
Copts and counter-jihad circles such as Pam Geller and Robert Spencer, and give
him a modest budget to get Americans and Copts to help him create a deceptive
film which could later be modified into an grotesquely anti-Muslim video
insulting the Prophet. This film would then be blamed on, and target Israel,
Coptic Christians, and the United States, leverage youtube to give a seemingly
silly video the impact of multiple airliner crashes and inflame a global jihad
against American embassies including assassinating the US ambassador to the government
hated and opposed primarily by Iran. They knew that the western press would
dutifully report “outrage over the anti-muslim video insulting the prophet”,
without anyone suspecting or even speculating about a “false flag” attack
except for numerous spurious “false flag conspiracy theories blaming everyone
except the obvious prime candidate for a terrorist state that had the means and
motive . This was the same pattern that
alleged “radical Christian counter-jihadist” Anders Breivik, who did everything
that one normally associates with an Al Queda attack, except that he claimed to
be doing it for Christian counter-jihadist who all denounced him, and again, no
one in the media or even the right wing blogosphere even suspected that Breivik
might have been created precisely in the manner that pro-jihad conspiracy
theorists always propose that every Al Queda attack was a Jewish attack to
blame muslim terrorists.
