In a separate incident, a 35-year-old woman and her son died when a car being driven by her husband struck a wall in the border county of Louth.

The couple's four-year-old daughter was injured, while an unrelated 11-year-old girl who was also in the car is in a critical condition.

The Cork tragedy is believed to have taken place after the four teenagers, two girls and two boys, were sliding down slopes at the Frankfield Golf Club.

It was said to have been around 2.30pm on Saturday when the group lost control going downhill and struck a tree.

Garda officers are now investigating the circumstances and the area has been sealed off.

Officers are also investigating the car accident at Cangy, Dunleer, in Co Louth, which also happened at around 2.30pm.

Investigators said the woman, who was a front seat passenger, and her son, died as a result of the collision.

Her husband, believed to be in his 30s, was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, together with the two injured children.

To: "swasty" Why does the FBI orchestrate fake terror plots?

By Paul Craig Roberts


The latest one snared Osman Mohamud, a Somali-American teenager in Portland, Oregon. The Associated Press report by William Mall and Nedra Pickler (11-27-10) is headlined in Yahoo News: "Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Oregon."

This is a misleading headline as the report makes it clear that it was a plot orchestrated by federal agents. Two sentences into the news report we have this: "The bomb was an elaborate fake supplied by the FBI agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said."

The teenager was supplied with a fake bomb and a fake detonator.

Three sentences later the reporters contradict the quoted authorities with a quote from Arthur Balizan, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon: "The threat was very real."

The reporters then contradict Balizan: "White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said Saturday that president Barack Obama was aware of the FBI operation before Friday’s arrest. Shapiro said Obama was assured that the FBI was in full control of the operation and that the public was not in danger."

Then Shapiro contradicts himself by declaring: "The events of the past 24 hours underscore the necessity of remaining vigilant against terrorism here and abroad."

The story arrives at its Kafka highpoint when President Obama thanks the FBI for its diligence in saving us from the fake plot the FBI had fabricated.

After vacillating between whether they are reporting a real plot or a orchestrated one, the reporters finally come down on the side of orchestration. Documents released by US Attorney Dwight Holton "show the sting operation began in June." Obviously, the targeted Portland teenager was not hot to trot. The FBI had to work on him for six months. The reporters compare "the Portland sting" to the recent arrest in Virginia of Faroque Ahmed who was ensnared in a "bombing plot that was a ruse conducted over the past six months by federal officials."

Think about this. The FBI did a year’s work in order to convince two people to participate in fake plots.

If you are not too bright and some tough looking guys accost you and tell you that they are Al Qaeda and expect your help in a terrorist operation, you might be afraid to say no, or you might be thrilled to be part of a blowback against an American population that is indifferent to their government’s slaughter of people of your ethnicity in your country of origin. Whichever way it falls, it is unlikely the ensnared person would ever have done anything beyond talk had the FBI not organized them into action. In other cases the FBI

entices people with money to participate in its fake plots.

Since 9/11, the only domestic "terrorist plot" that I recall that was not obviously organized by the FBI is the "Times Square plot" to which Faisal Shahzad pleaded guilty to trying to set off a car bomb in Manhattan. This plot, too, is suspicious. One would think that a real terrorist would have a real bomb, not a smoke bomb.

In the May 19, 2009, online site, sott.net (reprinted Nov. 27, 2010), Joe Quinn collects some of the fake plots, some of which were validated by torture confessions and others by ignorant and fearful juries. The-Tortured-and-Manipulated-Terrorist-Threat-Evidence The US government comes up with a plot, an accused, and tortures him until he confesses, or the government fabricates a case and takes it to jurors who know that they cannot face their neighbors if they let off a media-declared "terrorist."

Perhaps the most obvious of these cases is "the Miami seven," a hapless group of Christian-Zionist-Muslims that called themselves the "Sea of David" and were quietly living in a Florida warehouse awaiting biblical end times. Along came the FBI posing as Al Qaeda and offered them $50,000 and an Al Qaeda swearing in ceremony.

The FBI told them that they needed to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and various government buildings. An honest reporter at Knight Ridder revealed: "The Justice (sic) Department unveiled the arrests with an orchestrated series of news conferences in two cities, but the severity of the charges compared with the seemingly amateurish nature of the group raised concerns among civil libertarians," who noted that the group had "no weapons, no explosives."

The Justice (sic) Department and tamed media made a big show out of the "militaristic boots" worn by the hapless "plotters," but the FBI had bought the boots for them.

The biggest piece of evidence against the hapless group was that they had taken photos of "targets" in Florida, but the US government had equipped them with cameras.

The US government even rented cars for its dupes to drive to take the pictures.

It turns out that the group only wanted the $50,000, but an American jury convicted them anyhow.

When the US government has to go to such lengths to create "terrorists" out of hapless people, an undeclared agenda is being served. What could this agenda be?

The answer is many agendas. One agenda is to justify wars of aggression that are war crimes under the Nuremberg standard created by the US government itself. One way to avoid war crimes charges is to create acts of terrorism that justify the naked aggressions against "terrorist countries."

Another agenda is to create a police state. A police state can control people who object to their impoverishment for the benefit of the superrich much more easily than can a democracy endowed with constitutional civil liberties.

Another agenda is to get rich. Terror plots, whether real or orchestrated, have created a market for security. Dual Israeli citizen Michael Chertoff, former head of US Homeland Security, is the lobbyist who represents Rapiscan, the company that manufactures the full body porno-scanners that, following the "underwear bomber" event, are now filling up US airports. Homeland Security has announced that they are going to purchase the porno-scanners for trains, buses, subways, court houses, and sports events. How can shopping malls and roads escape? Recently on Interstate 20 west of Atlanta, trucks had to drive through a similar device. Everyone has forgotten that the underwear bomber lacked required documents and was escorted aboard the airliner by an official.

The "war on terror" provides an opportunity for a few well-connected people to become very rich. If they leave Americans with a third world police state, they will be living it up in Gstaad.

This despite the fact that everyone on the planet knows that it is not lactating mothers, children, elderly people in walkers and wheelchairs, members of Congress, members of the military, nuns, and so on, who are members of Al Qaeda plotting to bring aboard a bomb in their underwear, their shoes, their shampoo and face creams.

Indeed, bombs aboard air liners are a rare event.

What is it really all about? Could it be that the US government needs terrorist events in order to completely destroy the US Constitution? On November 24, National Public Radio broadcast a report by Dina Temple-Raston: "Administration officials are looking at the possibility of codifying detention without trial and are awaiting legislation that is supposed to come out of Congress early next year." Of course, the legislation will not come out of Congress. It will be written by Homeland Security and the Justice (sic) Department. The impotent Congress will merely rubber-stamp it.

The obliteration of habeas corpus, the most necessary and important protection of liberty ever institutionalized in law and governing constitution, has become necessary for the US government, because a jury might acquit an alleged or mock "terrorist" or framed person whom the US government has declared prior to the trial will be held forever in indefinite detention even if acquitted in a US court of law. The attorney general of the United States has declared that any "terrorist" that he puts on trial who is acquitted by a jury will remain in detention regardless of the verdict. Such an event would reveal the total lawlessness of American "justice."

The United States of America, "the city upon the hill," "the light unto the world," has become Nazi Germany. It was the practice of the Gestapo to ignore court verdicts and to execute or hold indefinitely the cleared defendant in the camps. The Obama regime is in the process of completing Dick Cheney’s dream by legislating the legality of indefinite detention. American law has collapsed to the dungeons of the Dark Ages.

This Nazi Gestapo policy is now the declared policy of the US Department of Justice (sic).

Anyone who thinks the United States is a free society where people have liberty, "freedom and democracy" is uninformed.

The nerve of the delusional

To: "swasty" The English translation of an article in Alwatan newspaper of Saudi Arabia.

The nerve of the delusional

“Is the decision of the high court to start “DHUL QUIDAH” on that day, which is in accordance with the astronomical calculation of “Um ALQURAH”, an admission of the validity of that calculation? Or is it because the physical sighting is required only for Ramadhan, Shawwal, and Dhul-Hijjah, and for the other months we accept the astronomical calculation of the King Abdelaziz city of astronomy.”

The decision of the high court to announce the beginning of Dhul Hijjah was the sacrifice for those who rushed to sight what they imagined as the crescent of the beginning of the month in the Hijri calendar.

This acceptance of this delusional crescent sighting by the high court is not the only one worth mentioning. On 27-11-1431; they published a request asking people to observe the crescent of Dhul-Hijjah the afternoon of Saturday 29-11-1431 in accordance to the Um ALQURAH calendar. They issued this request, as they mentioned, after they looked at all the reports of the committees which were formed to observe the crescent throughout the kingdom, in coordination with the King Adbdelaziz city of astronomy, and which reported that the crescent was not seen on Saturday 1-11-1431 (aided or un-aided eye). And it was expected, in this situation, that the high court will take a decision similar to the one that decided on the beginning of last Shawwal. That is, they will complete 30 days for the month of Shawwal for the lack of a positive sighting of the crescent of the Dhul-Qidah on the afternoon of Saturday 10/29. And if they did, Saturday 11-29-1431 in accordance to Um ALQURAH calendar would have been 11-28-1431, and Sunday 12-1 in accordance to Um ALQURAH would have been the 29th of Dhul-Qidah and the first of Dhul-Hijjah would have been Monday 12-2-1431 according to Um ALQURAH calendar.

If all this actually happened, it would have meant that the high court had asked the committees to observe the crescent of Dhul-Hijjah on the 28th of Dhul-Qidah and not on 29th; and a mistake like this is not acceptable.

So what compelled the high court make such a decision validating the Um ALQURAH calendar knowing very well that the Um ALQURAH calendar is based on two conditions set by the King Abelaziiz city for science and technology? The first condition is that for the birth of the moon to happen before the sun set and the second, for the moon to be on the horizons after the sun set even for a very short time! And indeed Um ALQURAH predicted that the first of Dhul-Hijjah to be on Sunday because the two conditions have been met. On that day the conjunction of the moon did happen before the sun set and the moon set 18 minutes after the sun set.

So, is the decision of the high court to start “Dhul-Quidah” on that day, which is in accordance with the astronomical calculation of “Um Al-Qurah”, an admission of the validity of that calculation? Or is it because the physical sighting is required only for Ramadhan, Shawwal, and Dhul-Hijjah, and for the other months we accept the astronomical calculation of the King Abdelaziz city of astronomy.

The expectation is for high court to clarify its position concerning this important matter so that its decisions are clear and understood. The question now is: Why the “just witnesses” did not see the crescent of Dhul-Quidah despite being two degrees high in the horizon in Riyadh after the sun set on Saturday 10/29 in accordance to Um Al-Qurah calendar and they are the ones who always rush to witness the sighting before the sun set, or high in the horizon one degree or less as it happened for the beginning of Ramadhan and the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah this year, nay below the horizon as it happened many times before.

The problem is not limited to this! There are other problems in the acceptance of the high court the sighting of the “Just witnesses” of the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah. The beginning of Dhul-Hijjah, in accordance to the King Abdelaziz city of Science and Technology calendar is “right”. But according to the Um Al-Qurah calculations, on Saturday 11/29, the moon was a quarter of a degree high in the surrounding of Riyadh, and half a degree high in the blessed Makkah. It is well known amongst the astronomers that, a crescent this low in the horizon and very faint is impossible to be seen with the human eye even aided with the sharpest advanced instrument.

Also no one of all the observation committees which were tasked to observe the moon for the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah, in Saudi Arabia or outside, have reported sighting the crescent, even using technological instruments.

Amongst them Professor Salih Assaab, an expert of Astronomy at the King Abdelaziz city of Science and Technology, sent a report to the Islamic Crescent Observation Project (ICOP) stating that: “the weather conditions surrounding Riyadh that day was partially cloudy and the use of CCD was not effective. No one sighted the moon; not with naked eye, nor with any instrument (binoculars or telescope…). No one in Saudi Arabia or anywhere in the Muslim world saw it that night.

So how could these ”Just Witnesses” see the crescent while no one in the Kingdom or the surrounding areas have not seen it? And why the high court keeps trusting them while they proved their untruthfulness, and do not listen to the trusted committees.

Could the reason for accepting such reports be because they knew from early on that King Abdelaziz city of Science and Technology has predicted that the moon would be above the horizon that night? Or is the high court taking a middle road, accepting reports only confirmed by King Abdelaziz city of Science and Technology?

But this brings up two important issues. The first has to do with witnessing. Witnessing is a matter independent of anything else. What could be a support for this witnessing could be also a proof against it. As an example, take the fact that the moon is above the horizon, which could support the sighting of the moon. Since the moon in above the horizon, so it is possible to sight it. However, this same proof could be used as a proof for not sighting the moon. All expert astronomers agree that the moon being few degrees high in the horizon is impossible to see, as it was the case in this latest sighting of the month of Dhul-Hijjah,

The second issue is the position of the high court concerning astronomical calculations. Accepting a sighting because the Astronomers say it is above the horizon is an indirect acceptance of astronomical calculations. So the high court use of astronomical calculations sometimes and rejecting it at others is a contradiction and is not acceptable. This position of the high court cannot be justified neither by Shari’ah or scientifically.

This delusional claim is in contradiction to science and to any sighting that has been reported around the world. If they still stand by their claim, than this is very exceptional, and should be brought out forward, and we should be proud of it as it breaks all known records of moon sighting by the naked eye. These records then would be something our country should be proud of, and give our countrymen the chance to shine in the world as we will be proud of their achievements.
