Headlines made the news on 4th July 2008, Indonesian Special Operations Group had supposedly smashed a well organized group of terrorists planning carnage against Western Targets Supposedly arresting 10 suspects and finding a cache of weapons that "could have created explosions bigger than the Bali bombings."

Stuff.co.nz

Packers scumbag Network

This kind of sensationalist news headline quickly made cover pictures on the front pages of such trashy newspapers as The West Australian, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald.

 

 

 

Online News also went ballistic blanket coverage with over 600 News Services picking up the story and smothering it all over the internet. However just as quickly as the news broke over the front pages of these internet sites, it also just as quickly dissapeared. Being removed from front pages of google and yahoo news services overnight just as fast as it had appeared.

The West Australian mentioned the 2002 bali Bombings no less than 3 times in the article making a connection in the minds of the reader only.

 

However proof of this spurious connection was only suggested by dropping the names in the article of the well hyped mythical characters of Dr Azahari and Nordin Mohammed Top no further proof, evidence or connection was offered.

Looking closer at this story however, the whole story is about as solid as George W Bushs "facts" about Iraq.

All that is offered about the identities of these "terrorist" individuals is initials of one of them a very dubious claim about a link with Osama bin laden and a supposed link to Malaysian born bomb maker Dr Azahari:

" ... one of the 10 men arrested, known by the initials MH, was a Singaporean national.

The 35-year-old English teacher -- linked to fugitive Kastari, the alleged leader of JI's Singapore operations - is accused of training local hardliners in Sumatra in bomb-making.

He had also reportedly met al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden several times and was a former student of slain Bali bomb-maker Azahari bin Husin."

So what can we learn from looking at this story and studying these images released?

Well, a layman will read the article and trust that the media have the accurate story. Investigators of SouthEastAsiaNews are not so easily led by this obvious garbage.

Lets now take a closer look at some of the images offered to us by mainstream media that has recently has been exposed having a history of lying to sell the Govt official version of events.

IMAGE 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMAGE 1 shows a barefoot terrorist bastard being led away from a Big Blue Police bus. Nothing Unusual Yet.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMAGE 2 shows that same terrorist bastard being led away by what appears to be a member of the BIN Indonesian Special Operations Group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firstly, the terrorist he is leading away, appears to be wearing brand new clothes.

Possibly dressed by David Jones Menswear.

He has a cloth covering his right arm. Possibly to hide an identifying tattoo or personal marking. The handcuffs on this terrorist asshole appear to be loosely fixed on his wrists.

 

Looking closer at the weapon in the Special Operations member hand we can identify what he is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This weapon is a light weight gas-operated 5.56 mm M4A1 Carbine variant of the Colt M16 line of weapons.

The M4A1 Carbine is in current use with Special Forces of such countries as USA (Delta Force and Green Berets), Australia (SASR , Commandos and Navy), Great Britain (SASR) in Iraq and Afghanistan. The M4A1 is also used by many other national armies and by Police SWAT units around the world including Australian Police Forces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can safely say this particular officer IS definitely a member of special forces.. Either Indonesian or on loan from Indonesia and is confirmed by the weapon he is carrying.

 

 

IMAGE 3 shows another Indonesian Special Operations Group member wearing blue jeans and bullet proof swat vest leading yet another terrorist bastard off the Big Blue Bus.

He has the exact same weapon dangling over his shoulder the M4A1 and we can assume he is from the same Unit as the forementioned Image 2.

The terrorist appears to have brand spanking new clothes dressed by David Jones Menswear, straight off the store racks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMAGE 4. We can see yet another member of the Special Operations Group notable by his Ski Mask and a rather nervous Indonesian TNI officer next to him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMAGE 5. We see another terrorist bastard dressed by David Jones Menswear in his shiny T shirt and sparkling new pants show this terrorist is obviously a fashion conscious Jihadist. Or it shows that just maybe these "terrorists" are fellow police in civilian clothes being paraded for the media cameras, wearing exactly the same ski mask used by special forces.

Do those handcuffs look like they are on "real tight"? Or are they slipping up his arm as he walks?

Ask yourself an important question here before continuing. WHY would the Indonesian officials cover the faces of these so called : "terrorists ?" Are they protecting the identities of terrorists? Or protecting the identities of their fellow police colleagues? Since when has Indonesian cared about hiding the identities of so called " bastard terrorists?" Perhaps only when the so-called-terrorists can be identified as well dressed members of the Indonesian Police or military.

 

 

 

IMAGE 6 This one is where their bullshit story crumbles into a heap.

We are told all through the articles that Indonesian Special Operations groups made this bust. NO MENTION OF ANY INTERNATIONAL FORCE co-operation is mentioned or implied in the 600+ articles that have splashed across the net.

 

Yet here... we HAVE A WHITE SKINNED CAUCASIAN OFFICER ! Clearly taller than his Indonesian counterparts.

What weapon is he carrying?

 

 

 

 

Here it is:

STEYR AUG 5.56mm Assault Rifle

The Steyr AUG (known in the Australian Army as the F88 Austeyr) featured in movies such as Commando (starring Arnie Schwarzenegger);  etc.

 

The Steyr AUG (‘Armee Universal Gewehr’ or Army Universal Rifle) is the service rifle of the armies of Australia, Austria, New Zealand, Ireland, Malaysia, East Timor, US Customs Service,  etc. etc . They are currently in use by Australian Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Here we clearly have indivduals, highly likely from Australian Army or unknown intelligence groups assisting in the whole circus of show and tell time for the worlds media. Yet NO-ONE from ANY media group, asks the obvious question, why are they here?

Why do we see international involvement selling this rather obvious lie from the media?

 

The very same mainstream media that has been selling the faked "Al Qaeda" messages is the same mainstream media that has been trying to sell the Osama Bin Laden fake videos to the international public, and the same mainstream media that lied and lied over 900 times selling the White House fabrications over the Iraq WMD's.

Are you going to be FoolMeTwice(d)™ on this rather tired crap story about "terror networks?" Are you the public going to be fooled again and again and again with the same media spun hype about chlorate bombs with a few bullets in them that "could have created explosions bigger than the Bali bombings."

GIVE ME A BREAK. Maybe some people were born yesterday but NOT Steve Johnson.

Let's now look at some of the more flimsy evidence they offered in this rather pissweak story.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Nordin Mohhamed Top and Dr Azahari link

Dr. Azahari bin Husin (born September 14, 1957 – November 9, 2005), a Malaysian national and supposed "Islamic terrorist," believed by the official versionists to be the technical mastermind of nearly every bombing in Indonesia from 2000-2005 ...

As for the public picture on Dr Azahari, we have to strongly rely on police and official versions for information.

This man differs from all other Bali bombing suspects in a very unique way. The majority of the other accused have many pictures and home family photos taken with relatives and friends, or casual photos taken candidly without warning, capture another perspective of a person we have never seen.

Even the elusive Al Faruk, a well knownCIA asset has over a dozen different photos taken of him throughout this time of operation at varying stages of his mission(s).

Having n ever seen the other perspective of Dr Azahari is what makes him special.

Having been labelled "The Bomb Doctor" and accused of being the "master creator" of every bomb in Bali from the 2000 new year explosions to the Sari club and embassy attacks, one wonders about the veracity of these reports.

Azahari, (along with the other faceless boogeyman Mohammed Nordin Top) has also been dubbed the "Masters of Disguise."

Having been fitted with every identi-kit possible, never more than 1 photo has existed of these guys. Every photo released or re-released is a composite job of basic photoshopping, all sourced from the 1 main image you see atop this article.

Azaharis contact with the public, students, family and friends (one would think) would have been extensive having been a University Lecturer in Australia and the UK.

Having been a family man in Malaysia, one would think there would be plenty of pictures, dozens of photos from colleagues on campus, happy snaps with his wife, drinks out with the Uni Social club or even at least one picture of himself with either of the two children he fathered.

Instead, we have been exposed to JUST 1 PHOTO of this REAL LIFE international "man of mystery." We have been told that he is this and that, and could look like ANYONE. Well ladies and gentle-men, what if he was an "operative"..?
What if Dr Azahari was his CiA Code-name?

Before we even begin to speculate on the nature and methods of who or what Dr Azahari was, was meant to be, or perhaps even still is we must first look at the established facts surrounding him. Facts that we can gather from first hand accounts like eye witnesses, facts we can establish through evidential comparison, and of course the inevitable "news-spin leak" and when a factoid inevitably goes "on air" by mistake through the corporate news machine.

Despite Amrozi already being arrested and in custody, Indonesian police on 17th Nov 2002 then confidently released the INDENTIKIT of the "masterMinds of Bali." After a supposed intense investigation they had it all wrapped up.

We can see already on this list of those wanted in connection to Bali,. Dr Azahari is no where to be seen. The police have Amrozi and soon (from alleged intense torture) they obtain an entire confession from him regarding making the bomb and supplying the truck used in the attacks.

At the hour long conference where police named these suspects, they told the international public how Samudra - described as wearing a hat and often carrying a laptop computer case - remained in Bali for four days after the blast "observing the police investigations."

Are these the actions of a dedicated terrorist, yet once again, no mention at all of our friend Dr Azahari. Compared to other supposed "Jemaah Islamiyah" Jihadists, Dr Azahari was apparantly camera shy. There seems to be dozens of images of these other co-conspirators, such as Al Faruq, Samudra and Amrozi. Why after all the years and all the fabrications about how these agencies knew so much about Azahari personally, are they able to pinpoint his involvement with SO MANY ATTACKS?

After yet... they still have nothing more than one old degraded pixellated picture of someone that has never even been caught on CCTV.

Azahari slipped past police more times than the Pink Panther and despite being a family man and bookworm, also possessed the cold calculated assassin style of 007 James Bond.

I'm sorry, I wasn't raised on McGuyver, I know Azahari cant make a C4 bomb from a paperclip a shoelace and the gravitational pull of the Moon.

 

What these "Intelligence Agencies" are suggesting seems like a feasible account with accurate intelligence on the surface. However when one looks deeper, one sees NO OTHER PHOTO EXISTS IN THE WORLD of Dr Azahari except the one that ALL other Photoshop mock-ups have been developed and retouched from.

Exactly the same points go for the "elusive' Nordin Mohammed Top who remarkably has only 2 photos of himself throughout his whole life.

Double the amount of Dr Azahari. Nordin Tops elusiveness has rendered himself a figure that now has reached the Osama Bin laden Boogeyman status.

So it brings us straight back again to the question: Just who Is Dr Azahari?

Well, I could write a book on it. Instead, let us devote a few paragraphs of first hand accounts.

From all accounts that have ever been published regarding Dr Azahari, all have been glowing positive reports of a man that dearly loved Australia and the UK. The only media reports ever made about Dr Azahari depict him as having a religious fervor against the West and suddenly without apparant reason "turning 360 degrees," hating the people and places he had always professed to adore. Is this at all possible?

What was he really like?

From those who knew and worked with him Dr Azahari Husin was a really top bloke. A
nice guy and likeable fella.

Before the USA named him as "Mastermind of all Jamaa Islamiya Bombing plots" from 2000 - 2005, before a faceless CIA agent called al-Faruq ever claimed anything about Jemaah Islamiyah, Azahari was a respected humorous chap liked by everyone with crooked teeth, a droopy moustache, thin framed spectacles and an infectious lovable personality.

He drove a late model Audi on campus and was liked by students and teachers alike. “He was a bit of a mad bugger,” said John Cooper, an Australian academic at the University of Technology in Malaysia, where Azahari taught.
“He was a guy who could always make people laugh.” Azahari had spent four years at school and university in Adelaide. He liked Australia and Australians. Dr Azahari was indeed a brilliant mathematician with degrees from the University of Technology in Malaysia and Reading University in England*1 , from which he graduated in 1990 before returning to UTM as an Associate Professor.

When he was named as a Jemaah Islamiyah linked operative, the news came as a total surprise and a complete shock to those who knew him personally, something totally out of character for him. In fact, he had always come across as a “fun guy” to the students.

“Unlike other lecturers who were all the while wearing Kopiah (cap*3) and Jubah (robe*4), Dr Azahari never once wore such clothes,” said Lum, who in 2005 was a senior journalist with Oriental Daily.

He said Dr Azahari, who spoke very good English taught him property valuation, and his lectures were always very interesting. "Almost the entire class enjoyed his lectures because he used to get us thinking. He explained how to derive the various formulas, unlike others who just gave the formulas,” he added. He said Dr Azahari, who did his doctorate in England, was a jovial man who often talked about the English Premier League Football “...he often told us how he used to support the English football teams and there was one occasion when he demonstrated how he used to remove his T-shirt when his team scored a goal."

“If I remember correctly, he was a Manchester United supporter,” said Lum, who felt sad and confused that such an intelligent man like Dr Azahari had wasted away his life by joining a terrorist network. Lum also said Azahari used to ride big motorcycles and drive sports cars.

“One of my seniors told me that Dr Azahari owned up to eight motorcycles,” he added. Lum said Dr Azahari, of average build, was also a very fit person as he used to jog and exercise a lot - The Star Malaysian newspaper.

Do you see the picture here? He wasn't any kind of fundamentalist, Jihadist or maniacal scientist bomb-maker.

If anything this is a picture of a soccer hoon who did burnouts on fast bikes. Does this sound
like a Jemaah Islamiyah Fundamentalist "Who blew himself up " rather than be caught by police? Yeah right.

Sounds like a REAL radical Islamist for sure...

 

Once Dr Azahari had settled back into home life in Malaysia he still showed little sign of being the strict Muslim he was later painted to be. He now had two toddlers to look after when he and his wife became lecturers at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia at Skudai in the southern state of Joho.

Dr Azaharis' wife developed throat cancer soon after the birth of their second child, and it is this event "the official story theorizes" that made Azahari into the murderous cold blooded fanatical Islamic terrorist bomb making lunatic mad scientist, that we have all heard about.

Of course.. It happens in Hollywood all the time. For the playstation generation raised on diet-coke and mentos, its easy to believe such spin.

 

From the late 1990's and onward, the person claiming to be the forever happy and smiling Dr Azahari was not him at all. The Sydney Morning Herald pointedly noted: "They say Indonesian police were close to catching him in late 2003 in a swoop on Pekanbaru, capital of Sumatra's Riau province, and opposite Singapore. Azahari was there, but slipped through the dragnet undetected. Long-haired and lean-faced, Azahari bore little resemblance to the one photograph police have of him. "

Do you get this? In late 2003 they KNEW THEN, the picture they were distributing wasn't even close to the real Dr. Azahari they were looking for.

Yet they continued to make more identikit pictures for this: "Master of Disguise" that managed to fool police with his expert disguises. Quite frankly the police all along were being told to watch the left hand while the right hand was able to go about its merry and evil little business unrecognised.

As with his life after his wife became ill, it was much the same as his final moments. An enigma, a total mystery. The mystery also deepens when the "reports" of his death are so widely different.

Some news agencies report a "police sniper firing the fatal bullet that ended Azaharis life." It is alleged in some reports he was cornered and had no choice but to suicide rather than be captured, and even others still reporting he died in an intense fatal shootout with Indonesian police.

Whatever the carefully constructed scenario was that occurred or that led to this sequence being played out, one thing is very clear. Similar to the CIA asset : Al Faruk, dead men tell no tales thats for sure.

 

 

 

 

For those theories about Azahari detonating himself, here is (left) the ONLY other photo ever taken of Azahari.*5

This is his concealed body in a bodybag. No morgue photos, no crime scene photos this was a very clean "mop up operation". Notice the lack of blood.

 

 

Nothin to see here folks move along.

The identity of the remains inside the covered up plastic bodybag is dependant whose report you read and who is authoring that particular agenda. I personally would have found it more likely that Azahari died of old age atop an observatory facility in Borneo or a motorbike accident in the Malacca island mountain ranges or even heart attack on a soccer pitch after scoring the winning goal.

These scenarios seem more likely from the Azahari I have researched. Frankly the circumstantial evidence of Dr Azahari being a fanatic muslim are pissweak at best.

Further Media Tripe

We are left at the end of the story with this rather ominous threat to remind us that this Jemaah Islamiyah threat is real and continuing. DESPITE the fact that we know and educated people have learned from Glen Clancy's brilliant online article that Jemaah Islamiyah were a creation of the political machinations during the brutal Suharto regime to render the Islamic political power impotent.

 

Just read on as the media and police spokespeople attempt to promote the J-I threat myth.

 

 

 

 

 

Can we say this is "The Return of the Pink Panther?"

 

This is all despite:

 

Ali Imron (brother of Amrozi) published a book recently in which the former spokesman of the Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI), Fauzan Al AnshoriSays:

"Indeed, the bomb that brought carnage to Bali was carried out by JI, but not JI as in Jama'ah Islamiyah, but JI as in Jewish Intelligence".

 

 

The former Indonesian vice-president, Jusuf Kalla also said:

...." the government cannot ban the militant Islamic group, Jemaah Islamiyah, because it does not exist.

"Jemaah Islamiyah does not exist as an organisation and therefore it cannot be banned," said Kalla in an interview with Adnkronos International (AKI).

"How can we impose a ban? Who is the [group's] president? Where are its headquarters? Who are its members?" asked Kalla.

and Samudra the supposed master-planner of the 2002 Bali Bombings saying:

He " had never meant to kill so many people. What happened at Paddy’s Bar and the Sari Club was unacceptable”, he said.

Had he made the bomb? “No, no, no!” he said, shaking his head. “I didn’t help to make it, and who made the bomb and when I don’t know.”

The second explosion was much bigger than they had expected, he said.

The only explanation, he suggested, was that “the CIA or KGB or Mossad” had somehow tampered with the bomb. “It is very possible,” he claimed.

 

and the late ZA Maulani, a Former Indonesian Intelligence Officer clearly knows what went off at the Sari Club on Oct 12th 2002:

"The bomb in Bali was made of uranium and plutonium. Guys like Amrozi don't have such capabilities."

 

And ex- Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid saying:

He believes that the plan for the second, massive at the Sari Club, which caused the majority of casualties, was hatched way above the head of uneducated villagers like Amrozi.

ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Amrozi was involved in the lighter bomb. That's a problem always. Even though I agree that he should be given a stiff punishment, but it doesn't mean that he is involved. No, no, no.

REPORTER: So you believe that the Bali bombers had no idea that there was a second bomb?

ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Yeah, precisely.

REPORTER: And who would you suggest planted the second bomb?

ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Well, it looks like the police.

REPORTER: The police?

ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Or the armed forces, I don't know.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion

 

Mainstream media have time and time again sold us complete lies in order to sensationalise a story and gain readership thus boosting their advertising revenue from increased viewers, listenership or readership.

This story of a "terror network" spewed out as sensationalist corporate media garbage is just more of the same, whether talking about the "smoking gun of Saddam's non existent weapons of mass destruction, who is the LATEST real 9-11 master planner or crapping on about who is the new and improved mastermind of the Bali bombings, it is all cleverly devised to create fear, it is devised to keep a population under control and primarily devised to sell newspapers and advertising space on TV networks....

Hard facts, within the corporate media agenda are always left by the wayside as they hype the "latest threat to our civilisation."

 

Trust in these fairy stories at your own peril or start digging for truth, as I firmly attest to one last point.

"Lies and garbage that come and go are spun everyday and are often twisted and perverted to suit an end to a means.

However the truth is immobile and absolute and never ever changes over the course of time.

Truth will always stand the test of time. "
