-RetweetDaily Kos Kids: London Bomb a 'Crock of Crap'

Fri, Jun 29, 2007 at 8:45:34 am PDT

There’s nothing at all on the Daily Kos front page about the London car bomb plot, of course. It doesn’t advance the cause for them to discuss terrorism of any sort, unless they can “frame” it as Bush’s fault.

But in the diaries, the Kidz are already raving: Daily Kos: London Bomb—What a Crock of Crap!!

You know what you call a vehicle with 50 gallons of gas? A Cadillac Escalade. The media meltdown over this incident is simply shameful. ...

Judging from the overreaction to this non-incident I think we can safely conclude that Osama Bin Laden will remain holed up in Pakistan and let the fear mongers at CNN, MSNBC, and FOX do the dirty business of scaring the sh*t out of people.

A commenter thoughtfully suggests that it’s a CIA plot:

CIA op against Brown? (0 / 0)

This is so ridiculously over the top, and it’s suspicious that such a major “terrorism” event happened in the heart of London mere days after Blair was replaced by Brown. One wonders if this is a CIA operation to send a message to Brown not to “go soft” on the Cheney view of total war. Or maybe it’s not the CIA, but disgruntled Blair black baggers who are freelancing as a final “screw you” as they go out the door.

Considering the known things that have been happening in the world since Bush seized power, it’s hard not to view everything through the prism of phantasmagoric Hollywood-style secret plots. The only thing we’ve been missing are aliens and/or time travelers.

Are you shaking or biting the invisible hand?

One of the characteristics of conspiracy theories is that they are irrefutable, by virtue of being infinitely flexible. Present a conspiracy theorist with evidence that argues against his theory, and he will explain that it actually confirms the theory. To him, evidence that appears contrary simply illustrates the conspirators' power to manipulate appearances.

Comments from MPAC...
Car bomb found in London

Lets wait and see if this was:

1) organised by misguided non-believers chanting "Islam" and retaliating for the murderous foreign policies of Blair.

OR

2) was organised as a marketing stunt by SANE, MEMRI, or another unofficial branch of the IDF Intelligence section.

Whoever it was, it is very scary to think that the war is being brought to our streets just because Britain has taken part in the murders of millions of muslims abroad and ecouraged Israel to behave in the same criminal manner.

I maybe completely out of synch with the fanstasy world. I mean this may have absolutely nothing to do with foreign policy in somebody's deluded world.


...

I read on the HT website the attacks on Muslims will increase because there is a anti terror law they're trying to pass and need to scare us and other MP's so they don't oppose the legislation. So it could be a plot by the Gov't.

Now this ... you know, moonbats will NEVER accept the truth. When and if an American city is bombed, the moonbats IN THAT CITY will insist that it was a US/CIA plot. Civil war will break out over such arguments and the Muslims will rejoice watching us battle each other over this.

It's amazing how many of these "potential terrorist attacks" tank later, when further investigation proves they were nothing of the sort.
So...let's call this "cynicism run amok", shall we?:
--it's Friday
--BushCo had some monumental fuckups this week (more than usual, which is saying a lot)
--it's Gordon Brown's first (second?) day on the job as PM of England
--the bomb is noted as less-than-professional, that probably wouldn't have hurt as many people as would a professional device
--it's being hyped ad-nauseam already as "the thwarting of a potential terrorist attack".
Call me CT, I don't care. I smell a big fat rat as to the true origin of this "almost-terrorist-attack".

Propane, gasoline, nails.

Trying for a Fuel Air Explosive.

Fuel-Air Explosives [FAE] disperse an aerosol cloud of fuel which is ignited by an embedded detonator to produce an explosion. The rapidly expanding wave front due to overpressure flattens all objects within close proximity of the epicenter of the aerosol fuel cloud, and produces debilitating damage well beyond the flattened area. The main destructive force of FAE is high overpressure, useful against soft targets such as minefields, armored vehicles, aircraft parked in the open, and bunkers.
Fuel/air explosive represent the military application of the vapor cloud explosions and dust explosions accidents that have long bedeviled a variety of industries.
Accidental vapor cloud explosion hazards are of great concern to the refining and chemical processing industry, and a number of catastrophic explosion accidents have had significant consequences in terms of injury, property damage, business interruption, loss of goodwill, and environmental impact.

I am constantly amazed at how stupidly people can act. I wonder if people who make comments like, "Judging from the overreaction to this non-incident..." truly believe what they say, are being willfully ignorant of reality, or know that they're probably wrong and just don't care. It seems more important to them to say ridiculous things blaming the people they hate than to face facts. It's scary to me, because there seems to be a large group of people willing to tolerate murderers because to oppose the murderers would be to admit that they might be wrong. That is not a healthy way to exist. I worry about all of us.

I loved this bit of blind irony:

For starters, gasoline is not a high explosive. If we were talking 50 pounds of Semtex or the Al Qaeda standby, TATP, I would be impressed.

I guess it never occurs to him that perhaps the lack of availability of Semtex of TATP mioght have something to do with Britain's (and America's) often non-publicized SUCCESSES in the fictional War on Terror which doesn't exist because it is fictitious and Michael Moore said so.

In point of fact, even if you COULD pack a FAE bomb with nails, it would be self-defeating as it would make the air disperal of the bomb significantly smaller and, I think, impossible for the FAE to work at all.

(if the bomb goes off)

OK, there is Muslim terrorism in the world. But its because Bush invaded Iraq and the Muslims are justified in resisting our imperialism warmongering oil-grubbing ways.

You know i've read enough of these "bizarro world" conspiracies to know what to think of these traitors. You know, where All terrorism is Bush, and all acts of love and freedom are from Muslims. Then I would also see how People seemed to care more about Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohans latest escapades and it would severely depress me. But now i've figured out how to make Lemonaide out of Lemons and i want to share it with you.
Take a look at the top web sites and you'll see that political blogs of any sort are dwarfed in popularity by the "shallow" bullshit websites that deal with "nothingness." So, You know how when a kid gets into some weird thing like Anime or wearing black lipstick or some stuff and the parents always say to themselves "Well, at least they are not on the street doing drugs!" Well, the next time you see the MSM cover Paris and you think how pathetic young people are today, you can cheer yourself up by thinking "Well look, i'd rather have them obsessing about fantasy football or Lohans underwear than basically being conspiracy theory, Muslim street 'parrots' or Socialist Traitors!"

I can see it now, Some kid walks into his parents room, "Dad, sit down, i have something Really important to tell you." Dad sits and takes a deep breath. Then Junior says "Dad, Im gay." Relived, Dads lets out a long sigh then says "thank God, I thought you were gonna say "we are all Hezbullah now" Or you were gonna join the International solidarity movement or something."

Over reaching, trying for a big bang but didn't know to make it work.

Have spent years on the Fire Dept. gas is just not a very good explosive, normaly someone splash some around you get a whoosh and burns, but no explosion. It has to be vaporized and between 1.4 and 7.6 percent in air to explode. Propane need to be similarly dilute in air to explode.

You just can't stick a detonator in a can of gas, it ain't gonna' work.

There's nothing that could shake the faith of the true believer progressives. All evil comes from right wingers and that's it. It just becomes a little game to connect the dots to blame them for anything and everything evil that happens in the world.

I think progressives are broken into 3 groups.

1- Just to stupid to live. They just believe whatever they're told and bray the party line obediently. This would be Cindy Sheehan.

2- Pure evil. Smart enough to know what's happening but see everything as an opportunity to get more wealth and power. Hillary Clinton or George Soros would probably fit into these categories.

3- Blind, empty nihilist hate mongers. These are the little sh*ts you see burning our troops in effigy, anarchists etc. These are just little brats who are pissed off because they're losers, pure and simple.

This is so ridiculously over the top, and it’s suspicious that such a major “terrorism” event happened in the heart of London mere days after Blair was replaced by Brown

Actually it's not suspicious at all that this happened now. Right after a change in leadership it's common to get one's enemies "testing the waters" to see how the new guy will react.

You know what you call a vehicle with 50 gallons of gas? A Cadillac Escalade. The media meltdown over this incident is simply shameful. ..

Apart from his idiotic mischaracterization of the bomb, I suspect this Kos-retard wouldn't be feeling quite so glib if say, he and his family were sitting next to a filled Cadillac Escalade after a terrorist detonated the gas tank with explosives.

Frankly, I don't understand the "logic".

This attempted terrorist mass-murder isn't "important" because it wasn't successful, or because the bomb in question wasn't all that powerful?

The "media meltdown" is "shameful"? I guess this guy is annoyed because the coverage of Paris Hilton seems to have died down a bit.

50 gallons = almost two Cadillac Escalades.

Not that it matters much but a Cadillac Escalade has a 26 Gallon fuel tank.

The bomb in question was supposed to have 50 liters of petrol, that's roughly 12 gallons, though it isn't entirely clear if that fuel was separate from the vehicles' own fuel tank (I assume it was).

Even if gasoline and gas cylinders won't easily detonate, that hardly means this kind of thing isn't important or can be safely ignored. Even terrorists learn from their mistakes.

For about 1 months, NYC libs got a wake up call and got religion, so to speak. Then, after insanity had returned, they begin to contemplate that if we only begin to have "dialogue" with the Muslims, everything would be better.

Basically you have to start with the premise that there is no Muslim terrorism and work backwards to the conclusion.
The fact is Mohammud boyehri (his Alleged killer) was a mossad agent and Theo was in on the "set up". They fixed him up with Hollywood Effects to make it LOOk like he was killed but in reality after the ambulance took him he was wisked away to a pacific island to live in seclusion. Mohammud was the "scape goat" who willingly took a life sentence in his duty to the Zionist state. Why? To make it look like Muslims are terrorists of course! In reality Europe has no problems with so called "radical" Muslims, only the Media and the zionists who control said media make it look that way. Im mean DUH! wake up people!

2007 finally arrives: Car bombs of London
by tullyccro
Fri Jun 29, 2007 at 09:43:38 AM PDT

Clive Owen, Nicolas Sarkozy, and the premature death of Regis Debray

* tullyccro's diary :: ::
*

Car bomb deactivated in London near the Tiger Tiger nightclub, two days into new PM Gordon Brown's so-called "100 days" in office.

A definitive moment of the year that many observers will presumably, and perhaps prematurely, hail as evidence that the U.S., England, and Europe are being collectively forced into a right turn on issues such as security, surveillance, citizenship, and direction of policies in the Middle East.

And though the would be murderers who masterminded the attempt have yet to be apprehended or identified, I'm going to use some "intuition" (as it used to be called before waves of political correctness discouraged us from issuing judgments and making negative observations about group characteristics and behaviors) and guess that Muslim extremists are probably behind a plot to fill people with nails as they stumble out of clubs and bars half-drunk.

Why?

---

No doubt some will attribute this to:

My blind ignorance, insensitivity and hatred of religious belief systems.

Because I'm a dumb American who believes everything my corporate media tells me.

Because I'm racist.

Because I'm a fundamentalist Christian.
---

When it's actually none of the above.

I base my assumptions on (thankfully, only a few semi-comical) experiences with religious fanatics and "believers" in the rural U.S., and the ever-growing body of evidence that suggests Islamists are serious about massacring "Westerners", and "non-believers" on a global scale, and in any conceivable way; and for those of you out there who will insist that the transplanted immigrants who attempted this assault did so out of economic disparity or as a reaction against their treatment as second-class citizens; claiming that they were lashing out at those rich, white, economic warlords who direct global capital, which so many of us loathe, or possibly against the existence of an incomprehensibly intricate trans-national flow of goods and resources that challenges our perceptions and often leaves us frustrated and paranoid; you're missing the point.

The majority of the plotters will not be first-generation immigrants who were given their mission and training by mullahs. They will not be motivated by class interest or inspired by the adverse effects of neo-liberal economics on third-world nations (Gordon Brown himself is for the elimination of a majority of Third-World Debt and is in a "prime" position to pursue this effort). But they will probably have had few jobs, a publicly funded education, and hard-working, first-generation, immigrant parents.

They will be lower middle-class kids who never quite made it; who felt left out and blamed their individual inadequacies and perceived political impotency on an economic and political system they never really tried to understand, and thus promptly retreated from, into the loving embrace of an ideology that grants them the power to murder and oppress, and excuses their cowardice and refusal to become self-sufficient individuals by offering them divine assistance. Like unpunished children, they will be incapable of understanding the gross immorality of their actions because they will claim no moral responsibility.

Ex-Ambassador Craig Murray is a Conspiracy Nut
[Link: hurryupharry.bloghouse.net...]
And former ambassador (!) and RESPECT-backed "Independent" parliamentary candidate Craig Murray asks "Cui Bono":

But whoever did this, the only people who can possibly benefit are the vast and ever-burgeoning security industry of all kinds, and those who want discord between the Islamic World and the West.

Attaboy Craig! That's the way to go if you want to carve out a career for yourself as a nutter conspiracy theorist!

UPDATE again

Craig Murray in the Comments denies being a conspiracy theorist. This is why I think he is.

Craig's post starts by lambasting the Police for discussing the context within which this bomb attempt took place: namely, a high level of jihadist activity in the United Kingdom:

Peter Clarke, the Met's anti-terrorism point man, gavea press conference claiming he was not going to speculate, but then doing everything he could to indicate it was an Islamic plot. He referred to other recent cases, including the Barot case, in which night clubs were mentioned as targets, and the use of gas canisters in cars discussed. The one bit of modus operandi pointing another way - the fact it wasn't a suicide bomber - he was at pains to explain away by speculating that the driver had lost his nerve.

Of course the last time a nail bomb was actually exploded among clubbers in Central London, it was by a homophobic fascist. So it is right to keep an open mind.

Indeed it was. And so might this bomb be.

However, the Admiral Duncan bomb went off as part of what was evidently a neo-Nazi campaign. Bombs were also aimed at black people and asian people.

This attempted bombing does not take place in the middle of a neo-Nazi bombing campaign, so there is no special reason to think that it is such a bombing.

Now, here comes Craig's conspiracy theorising

But whoever did this, the only people who can possibly benefit are the vast and ever-burgeoning security industry of all kinds, and those who want discord between the Islamic World and the West. Unfortunately, the extremists on all sides are strengthened by this incident.

There's your conspiracy theory.

Craig asks "Cui Bono"? Cui bono in this context means: "to find out who planted the bomb, we need to know who benefit from it".

That is a fair question to ask: but not if "cui bono" is used to suggest that people swallow whatever conspiracy theory you're peddling.

Craig Murray's first bit of speculation as to who benefits is "the burgeoning security industry". That is who, primarily, he thinks benefits from the bombing. That is who Craig Murray thinks we should be suspecting.

139 michael.098762001  Fri, Jun 29, 2007 11:37:53am

cont. He then goes on to speculate that:

Brown had already made plain he supports further anti-civil liberties legislation. This produces just the kind of febrile atmosphere in which that can be done. The television news is already pushing 90 day detention without charge again.

The obvious and intended implication is that the "security industry" is trying to influence public policy making.

In the Comments below, Craig Murray adds:

That the bomb was planted by the State is one of the least likely possible explanations - certainly, if you mean by that (and you said it, I didn't) sanctioned by ministers I should say that is almost 100% impossible.

So Craig Murray makes it even clearer. He is pushing the view that freelance State security agents were responsible for this attempted bombing, without the knowledge of the Government.

Later Craig Murray posted this addendum to his original piece:

"I am adding this para in response to blogs attempting to say that I am claiming the bomb was planted by the State. I have not changed the above, and plainly it does not say that. In fact, I think that is one of the least likely explanations - . I have no idea who planted it. I am saying we should not leap to the conclusion it was Islamic fundamentalists. It could be, or it could be other extremists, or interests, who benefit from the War on Terror. The Cui Bono test throws up a number of possibilities. "

Precisely which "interests" does Craig Murray think may be benefitting, and therefore plausibly behind, this bombing?

In summary:

- It is, apparently, right to speculate that the "security industry" planted a bomb without Government knowledge, and to insinuate that the bombing is connected with attempts to increase the period of detention to 90 days.

- By contrast, it is wrong for the police to speculate on a possible connection between a bomb in central london, and a high level of jihadist activity in the United Kingdom.

Why doesn't Craig Murray just come out and tell us straight what he thinks.

Or is he frightened that the spooks will get him, for saying too much...?

It's revealing how the Left considers terrorism. If a plot is foiled the Kosites/DUers question the timing and call it a Rove/Cheney scam. If an actual attack is carried out then the "twoofers" take over and it's

Wow...the acid trip is especially heavy today I see.

"...since Bush seized power, it’s hard not to view everything through the prism of phantasmagoric Hollywood-style secret plots."

Especially when you've outsourced your thinking to liberal Hollyweird leftists like Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin and Barbra Streisand.

"The only thing we’ve been missing are aliens and/or time travelers."

They're by no means missing! Go pay a few hundred bucks over at the Scientology Centre and they can get a start on clearing up all those pesky body thetans with an e-meter. See?!?!? The nerve centre of your LLL thought is already ahead of the game for you on this one! Just go ask Travolta or TomKat.

Next we'll read from the Krazy Kos Kids:

"Why no mention there of all the rain that we've had here in Texas? I'm sure that's Bush's fault...just certain of it...Cheney's probably so happy about the flooding that his intergalatic demon tail is twitching in anticipation to sacrifice another chicken to the demi-god he serves to bring us more rain. This has to be a plot from the IDF controlled media outlets like Fox News to convince us that global warming and carbon credits are a good thing. Someone get ahold of Gore so he can strap them down to watch his movie already. I heard ManBearPig was shot yesterday so he should be free...I'm totally serial. Viva le Che!"

One sensible post at Lenin's Tomb comments.

Yeah I thought your reaction to (what seems to be) a failed attempt by some of your political allies to reintroduce terror and mayhem to London would go along those lines - a declared and emphatic shrug. One thing though:

""All options, including the Irish, are open at this stage". I'm not sure that the entire Irish population on the planet is likely to have conspired in this fashion."

He's clearly talking about the Irish "option", not the Irish people; that is, deranged splinter types from around your way insufficiently pleased with decades of sectarian murder and eager for some more.

I wonder, though, if this had've been a 'success', and scores of Londoners had been slaughtered, would you be bouncing around happily, gurgling about chickens coming home to roost?

Another from Lenin's Tomb.
Never forget ...

"Many members of Operation Gladio were also in a shadowy organization known as P-2; it too was financed by the CIA. P-2 had connections with the Vatican and the Mafia, and eventually with an international fascist umbrella organization called the World Anti-Communist League.

One of P-2's specialties was the art of provocation. Leftist organizations like the Red Brigades were infiltrated, financed and / or created, and the resulting acts of terrorism, like the assassination of Italy's premier in 1978 and the bombing of the railway station in Bologna in 1980, were blamed on the left. The goal of this "strategy of tension" was to convince Italian voters that the left was violent and dangerous-by helping make it so."

My take on this at [Link: geobent.blogspot.com...]

Larry C Johnson At the Daily Kos posted the perfect lefty propaganda form letter post on this event. Let’s break it down please.

step 1 over hype the hype.


CNN anchors hyperventilating over the nuclear suicide car weapon of mass destruction discovered smoldering outside of a London nightclub.

This allows you to further minimize the fear factor this event may have caused. After all we all know that this was not a "nuclear" "weapon of mass destruction" so it can't possibly be as bad as the reports says.

step 2 minimize the truth.

You know what you call a vehicle with 50 gallons of gas? A Cadillac Escalade. The media meltdown over this incident is simply shameful.

Here is a dishonest downplay of the event in that he deliberately leaves out the nails, the propane, the location, and the timing of the attempted attack. This allows the left to again dismiss the threat.

step 3 remove blame

Judging from the overreaction to this non-incident I think we can safely conclude that Osama Bin Laden will remain holed up in Pakistan and let the fear mongers at CNN, MSNBC, and FOX do the dirty business of scaring the shit out of people.

Here we have to fact that the attack must be reported as the true act of terror.

Or maybe it’s not the CIA, but disgruntled Blair black baggers who are freelancing as a final “screw you” as they go out the door.

Yeah, Blairs elite wrecking crew. They're quite terrifying you know.

These people should be sectioned.

Funny how the least trustworthy and most suspicious among us are the least trusting and most suspicious. Evidently worried about what could happen if everyone were like them!

Hey Ya'll,
While obtaining my degree in Communications I had to take several debate classes, therefore,I feel as if I can see both sides of any coin. So when I saw the KOS link, I decided to take a look to see what all the hooie was about... OMG... Those people are unbelievable. I am really shocked by what I read. What the Hell? Are those people psychotic? I could not believe what I read. An Escalade is a holocaust? I am sorry ya'll but thank you very much but I will just stay down here in Mississippi with all of the ignorant people.

I guess Jeff Foxworthy has it right. Rednecks are people with a gloriously absence of sophistication. Thank you, but I will stay unsophisticated if being a KOS Kid is sophistication.

These people are so deluded I don't know what to think! How they don't they know they are the very people these people want to kill is killing me! Any moron with two brain cells to rub together knows what is going on and these people have their heads in the sand. Frightening and sad -- at the same time.

They will never learn. Stares them right i nthe face-destroys portions of their cities and they pretend that it does not exist, why? Because they are afraid.
