Detroit Plane Bombing

On Christmas day (December 25th) an alleged Islamic terrorist attempted to detonate a bomb aboard a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam as it came into land in Detroit. The attack had been meticulously and professionally planned with a sophisticated bomb, made up of high grade PETN high explosives with a complex chemical detonator, first being smuggled on to a flight from Yemen to Nigeria and then on another flight from Nigeria to the Netherlands before being smuggled aboard the flight to Detroit. The crucial and elementary flaw in the plan was that the man whose job it was to set off the bomb had been given the wrong instructions on how to operate the chemical detonator so the bomb went off with a fizz rather then a bang. That means that the plot bears all the hallmarks of a false flag terrorist attack. Although rare and normally the preserve of conspiracy theorists false flag attacks do occasionally take place. They are designed to convince everyone that an attack has occurred without causing the loss of life and damage to property that comes from a terror attack. In short they produce the bang with none of the bodies. It is widely rumoured that Britain's intelligence services perfected the technique during the Northern Irish Troubles. This was because although they were under intense pressure to prevent IRA bombings they also had to make sure that their agents maintained the trust of the IRA cells they had infiltrated.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the alleged bomber, is also something of an interesting character. Although a Nigerian national the 23 year old hasn't actually spent that much of his life in Nigeria. The son of a wealthy banker he was educated at the British International School in neighbouring Togo. This is not to be confused with Tojo, the son of the now deposed President of Madagascar who I briefly shared a house with at university or the British International School in Greece that one of my millions cousins currently attends. It was the British International School that first brought Abdulmutallab to London on a cultural exchange in 2001. These visits are a well worn path for MI6 to recruit sleeper agents in developing countries. They simply invite the brightest and best young minds in that country over to the UK on the promise of a unique educational experience. During the course of the visit the students are assessed and the suitable ones are, I suppose, groomed into loyalty to Britain. MI6 then simply let them return to their own countries and wait until and sometimes help the sleepers into key positions of power and influence in their native countries. They are then activated and used to supply intelligence and other forms of assistance to Britain. Given that Abdulmutallab went on to study mechanical engineering at University College London I suspect that he was being prepared for a position within Nigeria's oil industry in order to make sure that British companies received preferential treatment in the sale of oil concessions.

A similar sleeper style operation ran into trouble earlier in 2009. The MI6 backed Free Western Sahara Network attempted to bring a group of Moroccan students over to Britain but the Moroccan government objected and jailed the students. This caused MI6 to gather British MP's and celebrities and start a campaign for these student's "human rights" to spy against their country. A British value that I suspect doesn't flow both ways. The campaign became so high profile in spying terms that it generated a brief reference that most people would have been proud to spot in the most recent series of the TV show Spooks. As Nigeria is sub-Saharan Africa and has nothing whatsoever to do with the West Saharan Network looking back the reference in Spooks was probably placed there in an attempt at misdirection.

As for Abdulmutallab at around the time he was studying a University College London he began suffering from the sort of emotional maladies that afflict spoilt children of rich parents the world over. This made his handlers think that he was no longer suitable to operate as a sleeper and they started to look for another way to get their money's worth. It was at this point that Abdulmutallab's life really started to go wrong with him not getting the degree he felt he deserves, not getting onto the master course he wanted and being ripped off by a fake college that led to him being placed on an immigration rather then a terrorism watch list. In the background he was also no doubt being deliberately exposed to radical preachers and extreme versions of Islam. This meant that when he was offered the chance to visit Yemen his interest was piqued to go and learn more.

Much like his native Nigeria Yemen, where Abdullmutallab was radicalised and trained, is quite an unstable country with fighting between government troops and rebels who, since the start of the War on Terror, are said to be linked to Al Qaeda. For most of the twentieth century Yemen has actually been partitioned into two separate countries. Yemen which was under Yemeni control and Aden which was a British Colony maintained to guarantee access to the Suez Canal. In 1973 rebels defeated the British Army in a short war forcing Britain to abandon one of its last remaining pieces of Empire. After another twenty years of fighting that saw the rebels become the government and the government become the rebels and back again many times over Yemen was finally reunified. This didn't stop the tensions though and recently there has been an increase in fighting between government forces backed by Britain and rebels who are said to be backed by Al Qaeda.

It is one of these groups, Al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula (AQAP), who have claimed responsibility for training Abdulmutallab and carrying out the attack. AQAP are a new group about whom little is known. Prior to this plane bombing their only previous act was release a statement celebrating the Fort Hood shootings and calling on Muslims across the world to carry out similar attacks. As this statement played perfectly to the Armageddon scenario in the Department of Homeland Security's counter-terrorism strategy it, along with other aspects of AQAP's behaviour, leaves me convinced that rather then being a Al Qeada front AQAP are in fact a front for Britain's MI6. As with Al-Muhajiroun who are a British based MI5 front the main role of AQAP is twofold; firstly they attract radical, young Muslims who may otherwise become terrorists into a safe group from where they can be monitored and secondly they help create a threat of Islamic terrorism where not such threat exists.

Having considered all these things I am in no doubt that the Detroit plane bombing was planned and carried out by Britain's MI6. As this constitutes a declaration of war by Britain on the United States there is no one good reason behind it. There are though dozens of really bad ones including, in no particular order;

• To get America to recommit to the War on Terror. Over the last few years America's strategy in Afghanistan has been more focused on winning the war then killing as many Muslims as possible. This is unacceptable to Britain who are fighting a holy war.
• To bring American and Britain closer together by forcing US intelligence agencies to work closely with their British counterparts.
• To shake down the Americans in order to find out what they know about a current hot topic of conversation that it would be unwise for me to comment on here.
• To heap pressure on US President Obama who Britain hate for reasons I can't explain without being accused of playing the race card.
• To force through increased border controls. If there three things the British civil service are obsessed with they are; Immigration, gathering every possible piece of information on their citizens and paedophilia. The initial response to the Detroit attack was increase the use of full body scanners at airports despite concerns that the breach privacy and generate indecent images of children. Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if MI6 wanted to increase their use in order secure a supply of child porn for their network of pet paedophiles.
• To convince America to open up a new front on the War on Terror in Yemen. This would bring with it the resources that would allow the government forces to defeat the rebels increasing British influence in the region. Some of you may have noticed that the countries where Britain is most concerned about the spread of Islamic terrorism such as Pakistan and India also happen to be former British colonies.
• Perversely in the event that Britain was caught in the act the attack would create such a large rift between America and Britain that America would order British troops out of Afghanistan allowing Britain to withdraw from a war that it's loosing without having to suffer the humiliation of surrendering. Along with the surveillance state element of the body scanners this is what got the lefties/lesbians in the civil service and government to go along with the idea.

If I had to prioritise these reasons into a top three it would be;

1. To get America to recommit to Britain and Britain's objectives in the War on Terror.

2. To bring about tougher border controls

3. To heap pressure on the Americans especially their President whom the British despise.

There was also a Al Qaeda attack that killed 7 CIA operatives in Afghanistan. This was genuine but the CIA would have known that if they hadn't been wasting so much time trying to play me.
