    al Qaeda cult's Master plan, ISN'T





    Did Al Qaeda Trigger the Wall Street Panic?



    Non-sense, utter non-sense. Gerald.




    Linda R. Monk, J.D.





    Bin Laden's rationale is new, but the threat is not. In 2006, Lawrence Wright wrote "The Master Plan," an article for the New Yorker that set forth a detailed outline of al Qaeda's strategic goals. The article was based on a book by Fouad Hussein, a radical Jordanian journalist, who befriended Abu Musab al Zarqawi in jail, before Zarqawi went on to become the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Entitled Al-Zarqawi: The Second Generation of Al Qaeda,Hussein's flattering portrait of the butcher of Baghdad, known for his beheadings, also used numerous high-ranking sources in al Qaeda to lay out a strategic plan for the group that would have been the envy of any corporate consultant.
    In light of the recently expanded war in Afghanistan and Wall Street's meltdown in 2008, stage four of the six-part plan is especially chilling. According to Wright, "America's power will deteriorate through the constant expansion of the circle of confrontation." Adds Hussein: "By then, Al Qaeda will have completed its electronic capabilities, and it will be time to use them to launch electronic attacks to undermine the U.S. economy." At that point, says Wright, "Islamists will promote the idea of using gold as the international medium of exchange, leading to the collapse of the dollar."
    SOURCE:
    JEEZE SO MUCH BULL, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. THE AL QAEDA CULT DOESN'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO LAUNCH "ELECTRONIC ATTACKS",
    WE TOOK OUT THE LAST ONE BEFORE THE ATTACK.

    NOR DO THEY HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO UNDERMINE THE US ECONOMY, ( NOW US BANKS ARE A DIFFERENT QUESTION, THEY HAVE UNDERMINED THE US ECONOMY . ) IF THE ISLAMISTS ( ITS NOT ISLAMISTS THAT ARE THE TERRORISTS, IT SOUNDS RACIAL. ISLAM IS NOT A THREAT ) WERE TO CONVERT TO GOLD AS THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE THE WORLD SYSTEM WOULD COLLAPSE. THERE ISN'T ENOUGH GOLD IN THE WORLD TO ACT AS CURRENCY, ALL UTTER NON-SENSE, G
    It is entirely possible that al Qaeda exploited the financial bubble in the global economy to trigger the catastrophe on Wall Street and the global economy in 2008. 
    IT IS NOT POSSIBLE, NON-SENSE, THE US BANKS DID THIS ALL BY THEMSELVES, THE AL QAEDA CULT HAS NEITHER THE MEANS NOR THE CAPABILITY TO TRIGGER ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE SHORT OF A WMD. G
    Sophisticated trades involving airline stocks accompanied the 9-11 attacks, and al Qaeda has a financial arm that the U.S. government has been trying to shut down. But these days the mere threat of an attack is enough to create a panic in the markets or another liquidity crisis. The complex system of derivatives at the heart of the previous crisis makes it impossible to build a firewall in the economy to contain the damage.
    GOBBLY GOOK; SOME PUTS WERE TRADED PRE 911 AND THROUGHLY INVESTIGATED, NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AQ CULT.
    THERE ARE MONTHLY THREATS AND ACTUAL ATTACKS NON OF WHICH CAUSED A MARKET PANIC, AND NOTHING TO DO WITH A LIQUIDITY CRISIS, UTTER NON-SENSE.
    WHAT TO HELL DOES AL QAEDA CULT HAVE TO DO WITH DERIVATIVES?
    THE HEDGE FUNDS MIGHT TAKE DOWN THE SYSTEM WITH DERIVATIVES BUT
    AL QAEDA CULT HAS NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMPLICATED WORLD OF DERIVATIVES;
    AND NEITHER DOES 

    Linda R. Monk




    .



    Linda R. Monk  IS MOUTHING ALOT OF NON-SENSE HE HAS NO UNDERSTANDING OF.

    TRYING TO SPREAD FEAR MONGERING WITH NON-SENSE.
    THIS IS ALL LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUES AND FUNCTIONS
    OF THE MARKET AND THE AL QAEDA CULTS CAPABILITIES..

    Gerald
    Series 7 and 3

    MORE:
    The al Qaeda cult has talked of damaging the US economy by 
    using a few squads to attract an entire Army to fight them.
    This paradigm is well known.
    US GWOT paradigm.

    The Military and  Intelligence complex  are working out
    a paradigm for terrorism.

    Terrorism has been with the world since before WWII,
    and it will be with the world for many years to come.

    But the current form of terrorism is different for
    three reasons.

    #1) The advent of the WWW has opened up new vistas
    for C2, recruiting and fanicing. 

    #2) The resruction of suicide bombers and non State
    use of WMD potential.

    #3) The use of a religion, Islam, for Info War ops.

    The war in Iraq and Afghanistan point to problematic issues.
    The USA in taking on those Governments was very successful
    in the defeat of those respective Militarys.

    The USA was at war with fixed defenses, and beat them soundly.

    Against the Taliban in Afghan it was a few CIA agents and planes
    VS the Fixed Taliban Army and Government.
    In Iraq it was more of a Military operation against fixed forces.

    And now the US is the fixed Army in Afghan, and running into difficulties.

    US ran an insurgency campaign against the Taliban Government in Afghan
    And now the US is experiencing an Insurgency against its fixed forces.

    An Insurgency is much cheaper and more effective against fixed targets.

    And may prove to be the method of choice in fighting spreading terrorism.

    Bin laden has said he can send a man to the end of the Earth and raise an
    al Qaeda flag and the USA will send a General to that area.

    He was expressing the difference in cost between sending a Man vs a American
    General ( an ARMY ).

    A single heavy weapons squad can make the noise of a big insurgency
    when in fact they are not. They hook up with the criminal element and they
    have an instant loud news worthy insurgency for a very small cost on all levels.

    The most effective response to such "insurgencys" may be CIA hit teams,
    backed by drones, much cheaper than sending in a Fixed army and more effective.

    We have some paradigms to run tests with, Mexico is a drug insurgency without
    any religious cover.
    Afghan is a insurgency using drugs for fanicing and a religious cover.

    The methods for fighting this insurgency by both respective governments
    should give some metrics to work with to form more useful, effective paradigms
    cheaper than sending in an Army..

    the “China virus"



    the “China virus"



    The oil and gas industry breaches, the mere existence of which has been a closely guarded secret of oil companies and federal authorities, were focused on one of the crown jewels of the industry: valuable “bid data” detailing the quantity, value, and location of oil discoveries worldwide, sources familiar with the attacks say and documents obtained by the Monitor show.
    The companies – Marathon Oil, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips – didn’t realize the full extent of the attacks, which occurred in 2008, until the FBI alerted them that year and in early 2009. Federal officials told the companies proprietary information had been flowing out..to China.
    a major foreign intelligence agency has taken control of major portions of their network,” says the source familiar with the attacks. “You can’t get rid of this attacker very easily. It doesn’t work like a normal virus. We’ve never seen anything this clever, this tenacious.”
    The new type of attack involves custom-made spyware that is virtually undetectable by antivirus and other electronic defenses traditionally used by corporations. Experts say the new cyberburglary tools pose a serious threat to corporate America and the long-term competitiveness of the nation. ( Rootkits, G. )
    “We’ve had friends in the petroleum industry express grave concern because they’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars finding out where the next big oil discovery will be,”
    But lurking in the cybershadows is a far more insidious and sophisticated form of computer espionage that, until the recent exposure by search-engine titan Google, was little publicized and often went undetected. Such attackers represent the elite – a dark army of cyberspies targeting the heart of corporations around the world where trade secrets, proprietary data, and cutting-edge technologies lie locked away in digital fortresses.
    ....a single intruding piece of advanced spyware can change digital signatures to evade detection, spin off decoys, and lie low while waiting to pilfer targeted information. It gives clandestine control of a network over to the outside attackers. When the program finds data, it encrypts the information and sends it back to the cyberthieves.


    “I can confirm for you that this type of advanced attack is happening to companies across the US today,” says Daniel Geer, chief information security officer for In-Q-Tel, a nonprofit venture capital firm funded by the Central Intelligence Agency.
    The new cyberwarfare has become complex enough that specialized teams are used to carry out different operations. Often, an “intrusion team” of professional hackers will work to breach the system. An “exfiltration team” will retrieve the data. Another unit might be dedicated to maintaining an electronic foothold in the network for years. “There are clear lines of responsibility between different actors going on,” says Mr. Lee of Mandiant.
    On Feb. 5, 2009, a handful of senior oil company executives and key technology people listened as federal officials from the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force in Fairfax, Va., – whose partner agencies include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Secret Service, and members of the US intelligence community – began sharing some of what they had detected, documents show. Federal officials told the companies, for instance, that conventional defenses like antivirus software were not likely to be effective against “state-sponsored attacks,” the documents show.
    Last March, Canadian researchers identified 1,295 computers in 103 countries infected by spyware and operated by someone as a “GhostNet” or cyberspy network. In each case, a Trojan program was downloaded that allowed the attackers control of the computers traceable, the report said, to “commercial Internet accounts on the island of Hainan,” which is the home of the Chinese Army’s intelligence facility.

    US Banks Remorseful






    The banks continue as a criminal enterprise.


    Are the banks remorseful?
    Are they sorry for almost bring down world wide banking?
    Have they seen the error of their ways?
    Regret their blind ignorant Greed? 


    NO ,no , no and NO.


    Time to name names.


    They ran the biggest stock market scam in history
    and are still getting away with it.


    Why did they do it?


    They made loans to people they knew wouldn't
    be able to make payments.


    The sub-prime paper, is a "C" or "D" credit grade paper.


    Repackaged the sub-prime paper in tranches,
    Got Moodys to regrade the "D" credit grade paper
    as AAA grade bonds.


    And hedge funds used this in diratives, and sold
    paper they bought at "D" grade prices and resold
    as AAA grade paper.


    But why?
    The hedge funds are unregulated.


    One of these hedge fund managers was being
    questioned by Congress, and admitted to a income
    of over 5 Billion USD a YEAR.
    And was only paying 15% tax rate.
    YOU and I pay around 28% tax rate.


    And the hedge fund manager wanted to know
    why he was being picked on by Congress,
    why HIM, as he was only the 53 highest paid
    Hedge fund manager.
    He was making $1 one million, 300 thousand 
    AN HOUR.


    And he is only # 53.


    The Banks were packaging this garabage
    taking a big cut of the top and selling
    it as AAA grade paper, transferring the risk to
    the unknowing buyers.  


    The world wide buyers were trusting in the
    American credit grading companies reputation
    to provide true and real credit analysis and 
    grading of this toxic paper.


    When these toxic paper went bad, people quit paying
    monthly, the sub-prime paper effectively became
    stripped Zero coupon bonds, and the values functioned
    accordingly.


    Now the criminals that put this together, were just
    shoveling this toxic paper into the banks as fast as possible.
    Huge profits and pushing it out the back door to unsuspecting
    investors, the banks got caught with huge inventories of this
    crap, and are now carring it at 100% of face value instead of
    the more probble 30% of actual value.


    Now keep in mind there is no central leadership for these
    greedy bastards, they run the Federal Reserve Corporation.
    Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: The Federal Reserve is Suspect:


    USA gave them $3 TRILLION DOLLARS to bail them out
    of their criminal mess.


    And the Banks are fighting to keep these criminals and 
    paid them $120 billion dollars in bonuses from the bail out
    money.


    The Banks are afraid of loosing these criminals, and are fighting
    tooth and nail to keep them and pay them huge bonuses for  
    the crimes.


    Currently the banks can barrow unlimited funds from the Federal
    Reserve Corporation at about 1/2 a percent loan.


    While the banks charge 30% on credit cards and 460% interest
    on payday loans, They are loansharking on Federal Reserve
    Corp. loans of .5 % interest rates.


    The banks have bought Congress and done away with banking
    regulation, making their criminal loansharking legal,
    and on the back end blocked share holders from regulating
    pay and bonuses for the Banking Criminals.


    I'm calling for a minimum interest rate for the loans the Taxpayers
    were forced to give the banks of 30%, in reconigition of the risks
    involved in dealing with criminals. 
    And a rate of 460% on monies paid for payday loans to these criminals
    and on their bonuses.


    The people of USA have lost control of congress, the banks
    and their lobbyist control congress, and I'm hoping USA's 
    creditors can help reign in Congress and the Banks,
    China and Russia I'm calling on you to pressure congress to
    regulate these criminal banks.


    The US Supreme Court stepped on its own D**k ruling
    these corporations have first amendment rights.


    Corps have no soul to condemn, no body to punish.
    And these Banking Corps represent a bigger theat
    to the USA than the Terrorist do.


    Nothing has changed on the regulation front
    regarding Banks, Glass Segal has not been reinstated,
    Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: Phil Gramm, Jim Leach = depression
    their loansharking continues, and the Criminals responsible
    have not been jailed but paid Billions in bonuses.
    Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: Banks never KISS ME.


    The Greed is so monumental they were willing to 
    risk bringing down the worlds banking system for
    criminal profits, engaging in fraud on a massive scale.


    And they continue employing the same criminals
    one of the banks just paid their CEO a 5000%
    bonus, Five Thousand % bonus.


    Currently the banking mafia is untouchable
    due to deregulation, they have bought congressmen
    and made crimes legal, 460% vig on loans.


    And they are getting the Federal Government to
    buy up the bad toxic sub-prime they hold
    at 100 % face, when actual value is only 30%
    on the dollar.


    This period of history will go down as the Biggest
    Banking fraud era ever.

    More US Banking Crimes




    From front line
    "The Card Game": Video
    and the Banking Mafia.

    "The card issuers could do anything they want," Robert McKinley, CEO of CardWeb.com, tells FRONTLINE of the industry's unchecked power over consumers. "They could change your interest rate. They could impose an annual fee. They could close your account." High interest rates along with more and more penalty fees drove up profits for the industry, Bergman finds, as the banks followed the lead of an aggressive upstart: Providian Bank. In an exclusive interview with FRONTLINE, former Providian CEO Shailesh Mehta tells Bergman how his company successfully targeted vulnerable low-income customers whom Providian called "the unbanked."


    Video:

    Hackers Targeted Oil Companies for Oil-Location Data


    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


    Earlier this month the Iranian Cyber Army, said to be a collection of hackers volunteering their time in defense of their country, came close to causing a diplomatic spat with China when the 'online soldiers' successfully brought down Baidu, China's largest online search engine in retaliation for an online campaign by Chinese activists supportive of Iran's reformist movement. The hackers redirected all Baidu traffic to a message reading "This site has been hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army." That led to a number of counterattacks by Chinese hackers on the websites of Iranian state institutions.


    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


    Now Iran's 'Green' opposition movement has launched its own Green Cyber Army, whose hackers are set to go head to head with the Ahmadinejad-supporting cyber activists of the Iranian Cyber Army.

    Sanctions equal bitch slaps




    The Nuclear Proliferation treaty.
    Does it work?
    Do sanctions work?

    As an anthropologist we try and report
    what the culture does and is, at least thats a
    big part of anthropology.

    Sometimes the hard part is listening.
    And by that I mean running the listening
    or 'their' text against the actions.

    Speech and verbage is so ingrained and
    hard wired into our brains, humans will
    fuction on what they are 'told' and ignore
    what they see.

    I just caught a big semiotic error.

    PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION:

    Paradigm Intel no longer supports an attack on Iran's
    nuclear materials.

    All their nuke stockpiles are worthless to them, they
    are contaminated, and if they continue to try and
    enrich their materials they will DESTROY their centrifuges.
    The regime is back to square one.

    Will sanctions work?
    YES for exactly what they were meant for.
    A sanction is a bitch slap in public.
    Sanctions are not meant to stop proliferation.

    Sanctions are only one tool.
    USA is the worlds policeman.
    When they act everyone complains.
    When they don't act they are blamed. ( the genocide in Africa, Carter did nothing.
    I can't think of the name of the country, now, about 500,000 died. G )
    Or are blamed for being to slow, Haiti.
    Everybody complains but THEY want USA in there.

    And USA does a fair job as Police.
    Thats why China and Russia and India buy their
    bonds, and float the US debt.
    Its payment for policing and keeping the world economys
    out of a real war.
    The American Congress let the American Banks rape
    other countries with the sub-prime paper debacle.
    And thats not reason to start a terrorist war,
    its a waste, and they aren't going to win.
    Its a reason to go to Court ans SUE the hell out them.
    Get your money back, and damages.
    Bin Landen is a dumbass.

    No other country could go after the Bin Laden Cult, like
    the USA has. There is no doubt Bin Laden will be killed.

    And USA has been bitch slapping Iran regime in public with
    sanctions. And there isn't a damn thing Iran regime can do about it.

    The Nuclear Proliferation treaty didn't used to work, India, Pakistain
    etc.

    But the last two countries that have tried to develop nukes have suffered
    severely.
    N Korea, doesn't even have elect at night in any of the country except
    the capital.
    Their people are starving, and China privately slaps them when they
    get too far of hand. Its one of the poorest economys in the World.

    And Iran has wasted billions on its nuclear program just to find out
    its all contaminated.

    Inflation is out of control in Iran, and the people are rebelling against
    the regime.

    Iran has lost hundreds of Billions from sanctions, loss of trade,
    economy it a tail spin and Abberjonny as President an Iranian embarrassment.

    Two good examples of why not to develop a nuke.


    To be sure IF Iran gets too close USA will take it out.

    Saddam fought Iran for 7 years to a stand still.
    USA beat Saddam in 100 hours.

    If US military is ordered to take out Iran's military they will do so
    in close to 100 hours,

    And it will be with the secret support of Russia and China.

    The Iranian regime's pursuit of a nuke will bring it down.

    What USA is working on selling:
    A fast strike force that can take out an entire army in short order,
    or hunt a terrorist for 8+ years without rest.
    And they are developing methods to fast connect the "Gap to the Core",
    to prevent terrorism, and Russia and China are big supporters.

    Iran is well in hand, they give up Nukes till the world learns to trust
    them or the Ummah will throw the regime out.

    Iranian regime is still trying to ignore this paradigm,
    and they do so at their own mortality.

    al Qaeda is a Cult

    AL QAEDA IS A CULT:
    The al Qaeda CULT


    In the book Jihad and Sacred Vengeance: Psychological Undercurrents of Historypsychiatrist Peter A. Olsson compares Osama bin Laden to other religious leaders including Jim JonesDavid KoreshShoko AsaharaMarshall ApplewhiteLuc Jouret andJoseph Di Mambro, in a section of the book called: "The Psychology of Destructive Cult Leaders".[18] Olsson asserts that each of these individuals fit at least eight of the nine criteria forNarcissistic Personality Disorder.[18] Olsson goes into some of these issues in more depth in his work Malignant Pied Pipers of Our Time: A Psychological Study of Destructive Cult Leaders from Rev. Jim Jones to Osama bin Laden.[19] In the book Seeking the Compassionate Life: The Moral Crisis for Psychotherapy and Society authors Goldberg and Crespo also refer to Osama bin Laden as a "destructive cult leader."[20]
    At a 2002 meeting of the American Psychological Association (APA), Steven Hassan asserted that Al Qaeda fulfills the characteristics of a destructive cult.[21] Panelists at the convention asked the APA to investigate mind control among destructive cults.


    David Koresh, Osama Bin Laden, Jim Jones all the SAME.




    Binny is to Islam , what Koresh is to Christianity.
    From here on we will be refering to "al Qaeda" as
    the "al Qaeda Cult."
