Mumbai Terrorism: Beyond Official Story-III: Fake Sept 11 Trials by Dr. Ruff

President Bush won his send term by using Islamic terrorism plank. By opening secret prisons across the world, Bush convinced the Americans of severity of “Islamic terrorism”. During the current presidential poll, terrorism occupied the top slot in debates. The Neocons still harp on terrorism plank. The US-led terror forces that control the judicial process at Guantanamo Bay, where Muslims are being tortured in the name of investigation, seem to coerce those in secret prisons to make confessions of involvement for winding up the cases in US favor. No one knows for sure why the terror forces have picked up those in jails. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a Pakistani, the self-styled “mastermind of the terror attacks” and four co-defendants said they wanted to confess in a note to a military judge at Guantanamo Bay. Mohammed and four others – Ramzi Binalshibh, Mustafa Ahmed al Hawsawi, Walid bin Attash and Ali Abdul Aziz Ali – were charged earlier this year with conspiring with al-Qaeda to kill civilians. Although in which way these people were involved in the Sept11 which is seen mainly as the US ploy to retain NATO and attack Islamic regime Afghanistan with Russian help. They face 2,973 counts of murder, one for each person killed when al Qaeda militants crashed hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. They however said in an earlier hearing that they welcomed martyrdom.

RAW facts on South Asia- India fails to occupy countries

The judge, Colonel Steven Henley, said he would question them “from A to Z” to ensure they understood the impact of their decision, which could see them face the death penalty. He read from the defendants’ note, which began: “We, all five, have reached an agreement to request from the commission an immediate hearing session in order to announce our confessions … with our earnest desire in this regard without being under any kind of pressure, threat, intimidations or promise from any party.” The note said all five wish to withdraw all pending motions filed by their military-appointed lawyers, whom they do not trust and have tried to fire. “I do not trust any Americans,” Mohammed said in English during an appearance before the judge. Obviously, how could they trust the global terrorists?

Of course, any terrorism trial is bound to be a farce since terrorism is being caused by the nuclear powers like USA , India and Israel . Saddam’s cruel murder in Iraq has vividly showcased what is store for Muslims in the world today, if they oppose anti-Islamic phobia. US-led terror nations depend too much on their loyal global media for propaganda war. The media have done yeomen service to USA in the anti-Islamic campaigns. Trials and judgments all would have to follow USA approach against Islam.

Official Story about Mumbai terrorism

Having fixed their focus on Pakistan , Indian sources fabricated some “facts” and some other “evidence” to book Pakistanis first, before lay8ng hands on others. According to sources in the Mumbai police, coastguard, and commandos, a ship carried the terrorists from Karachi to Indian side where bots were hired; the trawler was taken over at sea by at least 10 young men, aged between 20 and 23 years, carrying backpacks and bags, Investigators still do not know what the men were sailing on and where they were coming from when they took over the trawler – though suspicion has fallen on the Pakistani port city of Karachi. What they do know is that the men tied up one of the crew in the trawler’s engine room, and slit his throat. The abandoned trawler was found by Indian coastguard ships more than three nautical miles off Mumbai. When coastguards boarded the vessel, they found the dead crew member, plus a satellite phone and GPS tracker that possibly belonged to the trawler’s crew.

Investigators told the BBC that the tracker showed “a return mapping for Karachi “, leading to speculation that the men who attacked Mumbai had planned to return in the same trawler. A ferry doing about 20 knots can cover the 506-nautical mile distance between Karachi and Mumbai in a little over 24 hours. After abandoning the trawler, the men opened the inflatable dinghies they were carrying and sailed into Mumbai waters early on 26 November, a little more than 10 hours before the attack, investigators say. An abandoned dinghy has been recovered in the sea off one of the many fishing colonies which dot the city’s coast. One of the top investigating officers told the BBC that the gunmen – nine were eventually killed and one arrested – split up into four groups and took the city’s rickety black-and-yellow Fiat taxis from the fishing colony at Cuffe Parade to some of the locations they planned to attack. They say the men left grenades or bombs inside the taxis before they got out. The taxis exploded soon after, killing two drivers and one bystander.

Indian official fiction equals the American stuff. Indian media pointed to Karachi as the source of Mumbai terrorism. From Deccan Mujahidin, the intelligence controlled media quickly switched to Pakistan as a safe space to point an accusing finger. India then said enemy came form Karachi for terrorism in India though on Indian Ocean enemy could come from any direction and far from the South Asia region. It is mind boggling that how these could invisible eleven could came from Karachi to Mumbai after crossing 21 Indian radars in a journey of 50 hours. But Indian Ocean links Mumbai not just with Karachi ; it goes beyond Asia , into other continents. Any ordinary map would show that. The usual blame game of India accusing Pakistan of any terror experiments in India continues with a view to destroying the evidence s in India . From 26 for a week Indian media quite aptly confused the world as much as they could while Indian intelligence wings were seen busy with removing any cues of the terrorism.

Mumbai coastline is intensely monitored twenty four hours by high tech helicopters, hovercrafts, speed boats and vassals equipped with latest surveillance electronic gadgets .Every boat and ship entering Indian coastline is scanned. Even a small fishing boat crossing littoral waters is intercepted in minutes. The Indian radars can monitor activity of any vassal leaving far beyond Karachi – as far as Gawadar. Indian media have generated news to keep the emotionally struck Indian and global masses in good humors.

The first round of attacks took place around the Chhatrapati Shivaji Railway Terminus or the Victoria Terminus, when gunmen entered the platforms and fired on people indiscriminately. They walked out of the station after the carnage, and shot three policemen and fired at journalists gathered near a cinema to record the event. Then they took a police van and drove off. A flat tyre forced the gunmen to abandon the police van. The men then stole a Skoda car and drove towards the seafront Marine Drive , just as the other groups of gunmen were attacking a cafe, two luxury hotels and a Jewish cultural centre. The story goes saying that as the Skoda took a zigzag route through the streets of Mumbai, the men inside opened fire in several locations – including at the Cama and Albless hospital for women and children.

Police say they intercepted the Skoda on the seafront and shot at it, killing one of the gunmen and arresting the other. Twenty-one-year-old Azam Amir Qasab, who police say is from Pakistan ‘s Punjab province, is now the investigators’ key to unraveling the planning that went into the attacks. Commandos who fought early pitched battles with the gunmen in the two luxury hotels, the Taj Mahal and Oberoi Trident, say that the lithe attackers moved quickly from room to room and climbed up and down floors to throw them off tracks. The gunmen set fire to curtains and threw grenades to distract the commandos, according to federal commando chief JK Dutt. “We found a lot of unexploded grenades inside the hotel. They damaged a lot of property. It was senseless violence,” he said. They also found lots of dry fruits, Indian and American currency, ammunition and fake Mumbai college student identity cards in the bags the gunmen had left behind during the attacks. “We are checking whether the gunmen had any local support. But what we are sure is that they were not from India, and had trained in and were carrying stuff – AK-56, AK-47 and 9mm revolvers and hand grenades possibly of Chinese make,” said an investigator.

Psephocracy is a form of government decided by “elections”. Orientalists will tell us all that the Greeks supposedly invented the ballot box when they voted with the psephos or ‘pebble’ in ceramic urns. Psephologyis the study of elections and voting, and a psephologist is an electoral scientist or analyst. In a psephocracy, the media is focused on inconsequential events and issues while the pullulating millions are unable even to see the affluence of those who manipulate the electorate through fear mongering and other tested mechanisms

Illusionary Democracy depends on Psephocracy as a way to legitimize the dictatorship of dynastic plutocracy-as practiced in the Brahamin corridors of power in India.

What happens after elections in a Psephocracy? Nothing. Elections simply endorse the will of the plutocrats who perpetually remain in power.

The seduction of the New East India Company overwhelms the senses of those who begin thinking of themselves as a new USA. Has the “East India Company” ever allowed any nation to compete with it and thus eliminate it? The Chinese are smart. Unfettered by the trappings of “democracy” they only allow limited access to the “East India Company”. The Indian nation tipsy by a shrinking $41 Billion call center industry (mislabeled and embellished as the IT industry) does not have the wisdom or the sagacity to see through the game. Too busy cajoling the USA, it has not only forgotten its roots, it is moving towards self-destruction. Like the 18th century India is ready to be pillaged and raped.

India is like a millstone on South Asia. It has kept all of South Asia in poverty. Now it is beset with humongous problems–the harvest of sowing seeds of destruction in her neighbors. When the tide rises all boats float up. When the tide sinks all boats go down. India is a dead weight on South Asia. In the process all of South Asia is doomed to another century of penury and poverty.

About 370 BC, Plato wrote: “A democracy is a state in which the poor, gaining the upper hand, kill some and banish others, and then divide the offices among the remaining citizens equally.”

The Indian press has been sensationalizing the Mumbai terror. The Hinduvata will be using it to win elections. Indian officials are in a quandary. They are “rapt withal” unable to blame the internal terrorists or the mafia, forced to blame others. Pakistan is the favorite kicking boy of the media. Drunk with a false sense of “superpower status”, India is incapable of taking stock of its own internal issues. Indians are inebriated with the panglossian gloss perpetuated by Bollywood and a Western press pushing India towards a collision with China. India today it totally incapable of introspection and taking corrective actions. It’s population is full of glee at the misfortunes of its neighbors, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan. The Indian Union is sending space rockets but cannot feed its people. There is something fundamentally wrong with a mentality that laughs at the destruction of the Marriot and blames the world for the carnage in Mumbai. There is a pathological problem with the the leaders of a country that sends $1 Billion to Afghanistan in a fools gold irridentist and revanchist errand to prop up a puppet President in Kabul. There is no moral compunction in supporting the Mayor of Kabul whose writ does not extend beyond Kabul. All this in a Quixotic mission to encircle Pakistan and extend Indian influence to the Amu Darya and beyond.

A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both.” James Madison

India is behaving a like a pumped up baloon; pumped by the Americans who need crutches to needle China; pumped up by the British who cannot fight the good war in Afghanistan and expect India to clean up the mess that they have made.

The world is strapped with an unimpressive Indian Prime Minister who delivers written speeches without passion and without any moral convictions. A henpecked Indian Prime Minister has pointed to a “foreign hand” a pointed finger at “Pakistan and or Bangladesh” which itself is a euphemism for Muslims and Islam.

Nehru with all his faults and infatuation with Socialism at least had the ability to make a speech. Indira Gandhi for all her frailties could handle herself and present a positive image of India. Dr. Manmohan Singh makes the imbecilic Pakistani President look like a giant. Pranab Mukherjee makes the low IQ Gilani look like Einstein. What is wrong with a “democracy” that cannot produce leaders?

sound political decisions concerning means as well as ends require not only reliable knowledge of such things as economics, geography, sociology, and military strategy, but also something like moral competence, the question arises as to how this sort of preparedness can be acquired. Plato’s emphatic answer is: by a sound and systematic education. No good government—democratic or otherwise–is possible without an adequate amount of knowledge and understanding. It is for this reason that education is the most central concern of Plato’s Republic. (From Jorn K. Bramann: Educating Rita and Other Philosophical Movies) http://faculty.frostburg.edu/phil/forum/PlatoRep.htm

In a blind orgy of insane hatred the Indian population supported eight years of Bush–just because he bombed four Muslim countries, and threatened a couple of other three of them long time Indian allies. All notion of independence and non-alignment were thrown into the Indian ocean–all under the lure of the ephemeral transfer of technology (ToT) which will never happen. No corporation in the world will give up it “Coke formula” and commit hari kari.

It would be interesting to know what Luxemburg would have said about the democratic election of Hitler. (She was murdered by vigilantes before Nazis officially assumed power.) 20th century history provides intriguing support for both Lenin’s and Luxemburg’s position. On more than one occasion “the masses” were dangerously ignorant during this century of world wars and genocide, and what many of them actively or passively supported cannot always be written off as a tolerable learning experience.

RAWs trail of terror: Indian Bomb blasts in Pakistan . In 1971 India RAW orchestrated a fake hijacking and used this as an excuse to stop Pakistani overflights over India. The hijackers disguised as Kashmiri militants, however were Indian intelligence agents. Several years ago, an attack on the Indian parliament was used to place 300,000 Indian soldiers on the Pakistani border Eventually they withdrew.

“It’s even unclear whether it’s a real group or not,” said Bruce Hoffman, a professor at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and the author of the book “Inside Terrorism.“

Hoffman he said the attacks, which he called “tactical, sophisticated and coordinated,” perhaps pointed to a broader organization behind the perpetrators.

The Voltaires of India are quiet, too scared to question the carnage. The mighty Indian media controlled by corporatism has become more obsequious than Pravda or Izvestia. Icons of the press freedom like Tehilka cannot survive amid the tough commercial environment. Bigotry sells. Pakistanphobia sells even more. The words of Arundhuti Roy are either marginalized or ignored because she is labeled as a communist.

Other than the Murdock media, the world media is skeptical about the Indian media’s innuendo and sensational finger pointing at Pakistan. The Indian officials are now backing off from their knee jerk reaction on blaming Pakistan for any and all evil in India. Banglore Billet: Indian Muslims And The Media By Nigar Ataulla

Ajai Sahni, head of the New Delhi-based Institute for Conflict Management who has close ties to India’s police and intelligence, said the attack was a departure from past assaults waged over Kashmir. Other such attacks had targeted Indian legislators, not Westerners.

Security officials said it was too soon to make a connection to Pakistan…”It would be premature … to reach any hard-and-fast conclusions on who may be responsible for the attacks

“The earlier generation of terrorist groups in India were mostly linked to Pakistan,” Gunaratna told the AP. “But today we are seeing a dramatic change. They are almost all homegrown groups. … They are very angry and firmly believe that India is killing Muslims and attacking Islam.”

British-based Jane’s Information Group said it thought the attackers could be Indian but that taking hostages suggested a wider anti-Western agenda.

“Until now, terrorist attacks in India have targeted civilians, often in busy market or commercial areas, and in communally sensitive areas with the intention to foment unrest between Hindu and Muslim communities,” said Urmila Venugopalan, Jane’s South Asia analyst.

“This stands in contrast to the national issues that appeared to motivate Indian Mujahideen,” Venugopalan said. Associated Press writers Pamela Hess in Washington, Gregory Katz and David Stringer in London, Lee Keath in Cairo and Muneeza Naqvi in New Delhi contributed to this report.Clues point to domestic terrorists in India attack
By PAISLEY DODDS -Friday, Nov. 28, 2008

The knee jerk reaction of the Indian media is to blame the neighbors. “Deccan Mujahideen” has never been heard of before and seems to be a made up name to malign Muslims–a favorite tactic of the Hinduvata extremsits. India: Interaction of Hindus in power with Muslims

The big American chains all have hotels there, and there are many more distinctly American targets. The Taj and the Oberoi are owned by Indians. My guess is that there will be a lot of Indians involved, and that this will generate a lot of domestic outrage.

This doesn’t strike me as Deccan (the Deccan plateau stretches over much of central and southern India). I would be very surprised if the people who did this actually came out of the area. It’s not an area of any particular significance for Islamic terrorism. It isn’t as though there’s a Deccan separatist region. Fareed Zakaria. Newsweek

Why is the Indian media so immature? Why does sensationalism override journalistic sanity? Why is breaking news the Deity on which truth and altruism is sacrificed on a daily basis? It is pedagogical to note the speed at which the fingers point towards Muslims in general and Bangladesh and Pakistan in particular. Hardly had the ink dried on the news story on the Samjhota Express when the fingers were pointed at Pakistan and Bangladesh. It turned out that the culprits who blew up a train going to Pakistan turned out to be members of the Indian Armed forces with links to the BJP, RSS, Mr. Advani and Mr. Modi.

“There’s absolutely nothing Al Qaeda-like about it,” she said of the attack. “Did you see any suicide bombers? And there are no fingerprints of Lashkar. They don’t do hostage-taking and they don’t do grenades.” By contrast, Gohel in London said “the fingerprints point to an Islamic Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group.” Christine Fair, senior political scientist and a South Asia expert at the RAND Corporation.
