Robert Fisk’s impeccable Arab sources strongly suspect, with good evidence, that Britain colluded in the murder in Dubai of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. I have been working my own British sources since seeing Fisk’s article in February.
This morning I can say that information has reached me that confirms that Fisk is right and these were not forged British passports, but real British passports given to Mossad by MI6. But my source cautions that you cannot conclude from that, that they were given for the purposes of this particular operation, or of assassination in general. The provision or exchange of blank passports between “friendly” intelligence agancies is not an uncommon practice.
Let us not be naive about this. Our most closely allied intelligence agency, the CIA, regularly assassinates people – and is even openly authorised to assassinate US citizens.

Anwar al-Alauqi denies any connection to terrorism. But he is most unlikely ever to be tried, as the US government plans just to execute him. Assassination squads are also a fundamental part of the plan for the “Surge” in Afghanistan, aimed to disrupt alleged Taliban networks, and operating on precisely the same plans the CIA death squads used in South and Central America. Drone attacks in Pakistan attempt assassinations on a regular basis, killing a great many women and children in the process, and British special forces are engaged in providing targeting information.
It seems most probable that Miliband’s synthetic anger at the Israeli use of British passports was really a reaction to the Israelis acting in a manner that was cavalier about our collusion being exposed.
Thanks, Craig. This is very important information indeed.
Of course, it doesn’t surprise one, but it is still absolutely crucial that it be revealed and aired widely.
Now, going back to the death of Dr David Kelly…
Oh, I almost forgot, an afterthought: Larry, can you tell the readers, what’s the going rate for protecting the hard state?
Owen, you are right what you say about the forgery of British passports in the past. When Peres promised that Israel would not forge British passports again he was right, of course, they don’t have to; our security services supply them with real ones.
Yes, notice that Hague is calling for an assurance that British passports will not be “misused” in future, rather than forged.
“Larry, can you tell the readers, what’s the going rate for protecting the hard state?”
Ask the local fluffer.
“British intelligence pre-dates the Mossad but shares precisely the same provenance.”
According to you that would mean it began as a “Rothchild security apparatus” which is obviously nonsense. It’s not even true of Mossad. Learn some history before accusing others of being naive. There’s plenty enough wrong with the world and governments’ behaviour without muddying the waters and adding to paranoia and confusion.
The craven nature of the British government to israel is pitiful and deeply disturbing. It is appeasement of a country which, if it was any other, we would have nothing to do with – a far right ideology building a racially divided society implementing apartheid. That we allow ourselves to be rolled over by the bunch of gangsters who run it is shameful – a ‘friendly country’ – don’t make me laugh.
The appeasement of Israeli racism and agression really took hold during the Nixon years, under the direction of Henry Kissinger.
Nixon had a criminal mentality in terms of politics, one that still exists today in terms of leaders like Bush Blair etc.
After Nixon was exposed as a criminal, President Carter tried to bring America back to lawfullness.
He was unable to do so. The corporate and political criminals were so entrenched in American daily life that he was defeated.
President Carter is today still trying to bring justice and humanity to Gaza and so many other places on earth.
President Carter is a religious man, a moral man, a man of integrity, and he can’t bear the crimes that the US have committed against defenceless people.
And obviously he’s regularly attacked by FOX and SKY news, as all decent people are.
I’m asking you, Larry. You. Are you a neoconservative, Larry? Can you define the word, ‘neoconservative’? Who feeds you, Larry? Who needs you?
Suhayl, do you believe that 911 was an inside job?
The reference in an earlier post on this thread to the Mossad being the Rothschild security agency and Israel being the Rothschild masonic state has been deleted by the censor yet again.
Same censor has allowed other commenters to attack the idea but it must seem strange when the original idea is no longer there so that contributors can develop theri own ideas.
The phrase “gate-keepers” comes to mind!
Seems our ed.took exception to the comment re-commenters on his blog being utterly ill-read,poorly informed etc.
Since most contributors are either corporate media,gatekeeper website,or plain disinformation junkies,I thought it was fair comment.
LOL!
Craig,
This should be of interest:

Larry, this is not the thread that has been assigned to the attacks on the USA which occurred on 11th September 2001. Why, then, do you keep bringing the subject up wherever and whenever you can? I have made my views on that subject very clear several hundred posts ago on the relevant thread. Seek them out, if you wish.
This thread concerns the subject of alleged UK state de facto facilitation – whether or not it might have been knowing or unknowing facilitation – of covert political assassination. A very hot potato, I’d have thought.
So hot, the mainstream media seem quietly to have dropped it. But many among the British public remain extremely uneasy; many do not buy the official persiflage anymore.
And I hear the rustle of leaves in the undergrowth deep in the forest on Harrowdown Hill…
Larry from St. Louis
do you believe that a man in a cave with an ak47 is capable of taking control of an aircraft that would enable him not only to fly the aircraft but direct it with pinpoint accuracy into one of the twin towers.
now if its not the man in the cave, lets take a man off the street, could you in a matter of months of ‘training’ on a flight simulator actually carry out that deed using the real article.
how credible is the plan.
why havent they been able to duplicate this act.
and if becoming a pilot is so easy, why not just hire a plane pack it with explosives and head to the nearest point of interest?
“Assassination squads are also a fundamental part of the plan for the “Surge” in Afghanistan, aimed to disrupt alleged Taliban networks, and operating on precisely the same plans the CIA death squads used in South and Central America.”
well this should be of immediate interest :
“I’ll tell you right now, one of the great tragedies of my country is that Mr. Obama is looking the other way, because equally horrible things are happening to prisoners, to those we capture in Afghanistan,” Hersh said. “They’re being executed on the battlefield. It’s unbelievable stuff going on there that doesn’t necessarily get reported. Things don’t change.:
“What they’ve done in the field now is, they tell the troops, you have to make a determination within a day or two or so whether or not the prisoners you have, the detainees, are Taliban,” Hersh added. “You must extract whatever tactical intelligence you can get, as opposed to strategic, long-range intelligence, immediately. And if you cannot conclude they’re Taliban, you must turn them free.
“What it means is, and I’ve been told this anecdotally by five or six different people, battlefield executions are taking place,” he continued. “Well, if they can’t prove they’re Taliban, bam. If we don’t do it ourselves, we turn them over to the nearby Afghan troops and by the time we walk three feet the bullets are flying. And that’s going on now.”
The video of Hersh was uploaded to Michael Moore’s YouTube account Tuesday, May 11, 2010
Wendy, once again I completely agree with you about the assassination squads and all; I’m not surprised, really, as Hersh said.
I’d be a little wary though of posting stuff about Sept 11th, if you don’t mind me saying, as there’s a thread especially dedicated to it – 1,000-plus posts and mounting; if you do search you’ll find it. That’s why in my post earlier in this thread I alluded to it. I’m aware that as far as I know you’ve only recently started posting here. Craig created the thread in January 2010 to avoid having 11th Sept material flooding all the other threads and/or a very small minority of posters trying to induce the same thing. Hope you don’t mind me suggesting it!
