The mainstream media for the most part has moved on. But there are a few more gleanings to be had, of perhaps the most interesting comes from the Daily Mirror, which labels al-Hilli an extremist on the grounds that he was against the war in Iraq, disapproved of the behaviour of Israel and had doubts over 9/11 – which makes a great deal of the population “extremist”. But the Mirror has the only mainstream mention I can find of the possibility that Mossad carried out the killings. Given Mr al-Hilli’s profession, the fact he is a Shia, the fact he had visited Iran, and the fact that Israel heas been assassinating scientists connected to Iran’s nuclear programme, this has to be a possibility. There are of course other possibilities, but to ignore that one is ludicrous.
Which leads me to the argument of Daily Mail crime reporter, Stephen Wright, that the French police should concentrate on the idea that this was a killing by a random Alpine madman or racist bigot. Perfectly possible, of course, and the anti-Muslim killings in Marseille might be as much a precedent as Mossad killings of scientists. But why the lone madman idea should be the preferred investigation, Mr Wright does not explain. What I did find interesting from a man who has visited many crime scenes are his repeated insinuations that the French authorities are not really trying very hard to find who the killers were, for example:
the crime scene would have been sealed off for a minimum of seven to ten days, to allow detailed forensic searches for DNA, fibres, tyre marks and shoe prints to take place.
Nearby bushes and vegetation would have been searched for any discarded food and cigarette butts left by the killer, not to mention the murder weapon.
But from what I saw at the end of last week, no such searches had taken place and potentially vital evidence could have been missed. House to house inquiries in the local area had yet to be completed and police had not made specific public appeals for information about the crime. No reward had been put up for information about the shootings.
Behind the scenes, what other short cuts have been taken? Have police seized data identifying all mobile phones being used in the vicinity of the murders that day?
The idea that the French authorities – who are quite as capable as any other of solving cases – are not really trying very hard is an interesting one.
Which leads me to this part of a remarkable article from the Daily Telegraph, which if true points us back towards a hit squad and discounts the ides that there was only one gun:
Claims that only one gun was used to kill everybody is likely to be disproved by full ballistics test results which are out in October.
While the 25 spent bullet cartridges found at the scene are all of the same kind, they could in fact have come from a number of weapons of the same make.
This throws up the possibility of a well-equipped, highly-trained gang circling the car and then opening fire.
Both children were left alive by the killers, who had clinically pumped bullets into everybody else, including five into Mr Mollier.
Zainab was found staggering around outside the car by Brett Martin, a British former RAF serviceman who cycled by moments after the attack, but he saw nobody except the schoolgirl.
Her sister, Zeena, was found unscathed and hiding in the car eight hours later.
Both sisters are now back in Britain, and are believed to have been reunited at a secret location near London.
There are of course a number of hit squad options, both governmental and private, which might well involve iraqi or Iranian interests – on both of which the mainstream media have been very happy to speculate while almost unanimously ignoring Israel.
But what interests me is why the Daily Telegraph choose, in the face of all the evidence, to minimise the horrific nature of the attack by stating that “Both children were left alive by the killers”? Zainab was not left alive by design, she was shot in the chest and her skull was stove in, which presumably was a pretty serious attempt to kill a seven year-old child. The other girl might very well have succeeded in hiding from the killers under her mother’s skirts, as she hid from the first rescuers, and then for eight hours from the police.
The Telegraph article claims to be informed by sources close to the investigation. So they believe it was a group of people, and feel motivated to absolve those people from child-killing. Now what could the Daily Telegraph be thinking?
Let me guess, why they had to leave in 1979.[I say this without having read the article you linked to].
In February 1979 the Shah in Iran fell, and Saddam attacked Iran in September. One should think he could distinguish between wordly Shias and the religious extrene ones, but he might have clamped down on all Shias, because he saw them as a security threat.
Just to make sure what “this” REGA and his function is:

No connection at all to the Al Hillis
Typo, should read “its” instead of “his”
quote from my link posted above:
In 1979, the Dawa Party decided to take up armed struggle against the government. Why did they do that, and what was the government’s response?
It was in response to the continued repression it was suffering at the hands of the Iraqi government, and inspired by the success of the Iranian revolution. Armed struggle became an option, and a military wing was formed in 1979. In response, the government proscribed ad-Dawa, and large numbers of its members were arrested, imprisoned, executed or exiled.
The proscription signaled the beginning of open warfare between ad-Dawa and the government, and as a consequence senior members of the regime were targeted. An unsuccessful assassination attempt was launched against Tariq Aziz in 1980, against Saddam Hussein in 1982 and 1987, and the 1996 attempt against Saddam’s son Uday.

we know the google search functions 🙂
what is really missed is a search function “by time”.
we are allowed searching e.g. for articles created during the last 24 hours or the last week. that’s ok and it is sometimes helpful.
what we really need would be a search function for searching “all articles that are older than xxxx days”
However, such a function would be a too powerful tool for investigators and this is obviously a NOGO for the governments. Otherwise they would offer such a helpful search function.
Bluebird, there are search engines that you need to subscribe to. Google make their money from data mining, so remember, when you search you are Google’s product (your details sold to companies) not their customer!
Wildcards in search terms would be very helpful, too. But when Google’s algorithms can’t immediately recognise what it is you’re searching for (ie. you’re looking for something a bit unusual), encouraging you to try multiple search terms becomes advantageous to Google by giving their software more chances to index and classify your search behaviour; “Oh look, user X is looking for Y – hardly anyone looks for Y, but this user ignored result A, glanced at B, read C for five minutes, and never returned from D…”
BB TV
No doubt the 1979 Da’Wa insurrection clearly explains why people like the alHillis had to leave Iraq eight years before, in 1971.
Knowing this makes it much easier to understand their political views and assassination.
Grainofsalt
while it is evident that Hashim’s and Kadhim’s families went to london in 1971, it was also evident that Kadhim was still running his poultry and kleenex companies in iraq up into the 1980tees. Then theye farms had been seized by Uday and Kadhim al hilli left Iraq, too.

A video of Earth was captured this week by TechDemoSat-1 (TDS-1) in what is thought to be the first such movie ever taken by a wholly-built British spacecraft, the BBC reported.
The spacecraft recorded the images just moments after being released by its launch rocket high above the Pacific. TDS-1 was funded part by government and part by manufacturer Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL).
The images were seen as a breakthrough for British business, as Ministers view satellites as one of the “eight great technologies” that can help rebalance the British economy.
Luis Gomes, director of Earth Observation and Science at SSTL told the BBC, “In the future, we see such cameras becoming a standard on spacecraft so that you can see precisely what’s happening.”
The Government is also helping to fund another small satellite to be built by SSTL called NovaSAR. This will be a radar spacecraft, which will be able to view the Earth through all weather patterns.
and via the British Science Association news “The cells are already used in transplants for patients with blood cancers such as leukaemia and myeloma. HSCs have significant potential to treat a broader range of conditions because they appear to be able to form all kinds of vital cells that can target degenerative conditions.
Researchers used high-resolution microscopy to film HSCs as they formed inside zebrafish embryos. The researchers had been studying muscle mutations, but noticed that the muscle-deficient zebrafish had several times the normal population of HSCs,
Professor Peter Currie, from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute at Victoria’s Monash University said: “It’s a sad fact of life that humans are basically just modified fish, and our genomes are virtually identical to theirs. Zebrafish make HSCs in exactly the same way as humans do, but what’s special about these guys is that their embryos and larvae develop free living and not in utero as they do in humans.’’ Just a little Monash fact that may be wholly irrelevant to this thread or maybe not. Just a little something to store away – genomes and all.
Adjunct Faculty member appointed to EMBL Australia Directorate
EMBL Australia has welcomed Peter Currie as our first adjunct faculty member and mentor to our two group leaders based at Monash University. Peter’s role will be to provide leadership for the Monash node of EMBL Australia and act as a mentor to the group leaders based there. Further Adjunct appointments are expected to be made later this year. He’s also the deputy director of the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI), where EMBL Australia’s secretariat and Monash research node are based.
Peter is a developmental geneticist, using the powerful zebrafish model to look at the development and regeneration of skeletal muscle in the context of diseases like muscular dystrophy. “Zebrafish are the fastest growing model system in medical research, as they are excellent models for human disease, allowing us to study the progression of developmental processes and disease in real time,” he says.
After obtaining his Honours degree at the University of Melbourne and his PhD at Syracuse University, Peter headed to the UK for postdoctoral work. While working at the MRC’s Human Genetics Unit in Edinburgh, he held a European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO) Young Investigator’s Award.
“As EMBO is centred at EMBL’s headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany, I became quite familiar with it, and knew the Developmental Biology Group Leaders there quite well,” he says.
“I like the EMBL emphasis on youth—there is something invigorating and renewing about it. EMBL Group Leaders can take more scientific risks as they have the freedom that goes with guaranteed funding for at least five and up to nine years. So they come up with interesting ideas and it’s rewarding to watch their research unfold.”

Australian connections (we saw it with MH 370 and 17) with Ben Zygier, with the al Hillis and PM taking a leading confrontational role re. Russia (all clearly working at CIA behest) now the badest baddy as part of the justification to get troops back into northern Iraq. Except ….er …. we could drop suplies as it would have landed on their Ararat heads and …. er … there weren’t as many there after all. If ever there was a staged show it is the ISIS threat to neighbours and west, though that is not to say that they cannot be psychotically violent if so minded. Somewhat similarly to American forces and security personnel in Iraq too often.

VIDEO: Khaled Sharrouf was a troubled youth before becoming the poster boy for Western jihadism (7.30)
RELATED STORY: Australian boy ‘posed with severed head’ on Twitter
MAP: Syrian Arab Republic
With a single photo of his seven-year-old son holding a severed head, Khaled Sharrouf has shot to global infamy.
He has become the public face of a band of Australian terrorists who are operating in the killing fields of Iraq and Syria.
But who is Khaled Sharrouf and how did he end up as the poster boy for Western jihadism?
His history reveals a very different picture – a drug-addled petty criminal whose substance abuse led to chronic mental illness.
“He was a drop-out at school. He was ultimately expelled at a very early age for poor behaviour,” former Supreme Court justice Anthony Whealy said.
“He soon took up drugs and became involved in petty criminality and it seems that part of the people he started to mix with introduced to him a very extreme form of radical Islamic religion.”
It was this that led to his first serious run in with the law.
In 2005 Sharrouf was charged, along with eight other Sydney men, over the biggest terrorism plot in Australian history.
He was charged with possessing items to be used for a terrorist act – six clocks and 140 batteries he stole from a Big W store.” http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-08-14/khaled-sharrouf-the-australian-radical-fighting-in-iraq/5671974
“Prominent Sydney barrister Charles Waterstreet represented one of the co-accused and observed Sharrouf in court.
“The one characteristic that I saw was that he was a class clown,” he said.
“Much of his attitude and tactics with the group was to get a laugh. One put it down to dimwittedness a little bit, but he was really playing the clown.
“He would be voted the least likely to be holding a head in Iraq if one had to pick it.””
“In August, 2005, Sharrouf was recorded on a listening device proclaiming his hatred for Australia.
“Forget Australia law … Australia law get stuffed, finished … give us all back our passports and we [sic] leave,” he said.
“I swear to God I’ll be the first to get out of this stuffed up country.
“Sons of dogs … I swear I’d rather be locked up and tortured and everything in a Muslim country rather than be locked up one day in this country.”
The group’s spiritual leader was Melbourne sheikh Abdul Nacer Benrika.
In 2009 Benbrika was jailed for 15 years for his part in the plot to blow up targets in Melbourne and Sydney.”
“Concerns Australians being recruited to militant group ISIS
Updated 12 Jun 2014, 7:51pmThu 12 Jun 2014, 7:51pm
There are concerns within the Islamic community that militant group ISIS is recruiting in Australian suburbs. Some are warning that young Muslim men are being ‘brainwashed’.” http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-06-12/concerns-australians-being-recruited-to-militant/5519982
Ah “brainwashing” as pioneered by the CIA in the 50’s and 60’s you mean?
Not forgetting the similarities with Michael Adebowale and Michael Adebolajo in the murder of Drummer Rigby.
Sounds common. Where are you, Mr. John?
Some killed people seem to have bad luck after they had been killed, too. Just like Saad.
More than £20,000 has been stolen from four passengers aboard the doomed MH370 flight.
Five months after the Malaysia Airlines flight went missing, mysterious withdrawals totaling 111,000 RM (£20,916) have been recorded, reports claim.
A bank in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, reported the apparent discrepancies in their accounts on July 18, before lodging a police complaint, Assistant Commissioner to the crime investigation department Izany Abdul Ghany revealed.
According to reports, the transactions were made on July 18 when money from the accounts of three passengers was transferred to the account of a fourth passenger before it was removed. ‘We are investigating the case as unauthorised access with intent to commit an offence,’ Izany said, according to the Mirror.
‘We are getting CCTV footage from the bank to identify the suspects involved.’
A source told the New Straits Times: ‘We believe the suspect withdrew the money through the fourth victim’s account via several automated teller machines (ATMs) in the Klang Valley.’
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2725142/Mystery-20-000-cash-withdrawn-accounts-four-passengers-went-doomed-Flight-MH370.html
Let’s just add something to that stolen money:
Klang Valley is nothing else but Kuala Lumpur airport. Why didnt they say that the money was withdrawn at KL airport?
Withdrawinh 20k pound from an ATM in one day only should be more difficult than it seems to be. I hardly succeed by withdrawing more than 1k only from an ATM per day.
Last but not least:
The withdrawals of money began less than 12 hours after MH17 crashed in the Ukraine (July 17th noon). On July 18th in the morning (minus time zone delay) the money theft from the accounts of 4 of the MH370 missing passengers started.
Lots of coincidences once again.
I’d still like to know how Eric is getting on persuading the Americans to dig up Jimmy?
This is, the French say, a previous husband of Mrs. Al Hilli who just happened to drop dead at the wheel, whilst stopped at traffic lights on the same day as Mrs. Al Hilli met her end in mysterious circumstances in The Slaughter of the Horses lay-by.
As probably everyone here knows – so apologies in advance – it has been suggested that MH 17 WAS in fact MH 370. This is based on post-crash photos and the non-confusable arrangement of windows. If true it would mean that M17 did not crash and is somewhere else. All this is made more credible by the fact that the whole thing has been proved to be a botched propaganda false flag and the stuff put out by the West, lies. The shell holes in the fuselage, radar and air traffic control transcript, all point to stalking jet. Similar was reported with MH370. Now link this to the indisputable fact that no plane crashed into the Pentagon or a field at Shankesville, meaning there too we must have “disappearing” planes we have an obvious modus that actually matches a documentary proposal – “Operation Northwoods” – from the 60’s the finger points ineluctably in a certain direction. Gaza, Isis, Ukraine is not as they would have us believe, response to unfolding unpredictable events, but meticulously planned from start to finish.

All the ingredients are there. Why should we be surprised? The CIA is a thinly veiled State funded (to the tune of 70 BILLION dollars) criminal conspiracy against everything the state purports to be.
Jet linked to CIA crashes…

Jet linked to CIA crashes in Yucatan with drug shipment aboard
• Incident takes place at a time when that Mexican peninsula is a theater of war among Cuban-American drug traffickers handling the lucrative business of illegal emigration
BY JEAN-GUY ALLARD—Granma International staff writer—
A private jet which crashed in the vicinity of Cancun on September 24 with a cargo of six tons of cocaine and heroin aboard had been utilized by the CIA in recent months for transferring prisoners to and from the U.S. interrogation camp on Guantánamo. The aircraft, a Grumman Gulf Stream II model, with U.S. registration number N987SA, officially belongs to a company in the south of Florida, which bought it just eight days before the presumed accident, the circumstances of which are murky.
The mysterious incident that recalls the large-scale trafficking operations attributed to the CIA in the 80s, came at a time of bloody warfare among Cuban-American drug traffickers who have taken over the lucrative business of the illegal emigration of Cubans in Yucatan. The wave of violence, apparent for some months, reached an alarming level the same weekend of the air crash with the murder of another émigré Cuban in a well known public place in the tourist complex.
Press agencies in Cancun and Mexico report how the luxury Gulf Stream II was bought in August from a New York company owned by one William Achenbaum by a Florida company called Donna Blue Aircraft run by two Brazilians, Joao Luiz Malago and Eduardo Dias Guimaraes.
Achenbaum’s employees refused to answer questions. Malago and Dias Guimaraes said that they had sold the plane on September 16 to two Florida pilots, Clyde O’Connor and Greg Smith, who paid them – it is not known how – two million dollars in cash.
The Federal Aviation Administration is now saying that it was never informed of the sale and that, in consequence, never dispatched any certificate. O’Connor’s company, Execstar Aviation of Fort Lauderdale, is not answering the telephone, according to the Miami press.
Two days after the purchase, the aircraft left Fort Lauderdale, Florida for Cancun, Mexico and then for the José María Córdoba aiport in Río Negro, Colombia, 40 kilometers from Medellín, the heartland of Colombian traffickers, from where it returned to Cancun.
HAND OF THE CIA
The same jet appears on the 2003-2005 list of CIA secret flights established by a European Union commission given the intense traffic of aircraft handled by the U.S. intelligence agency for transferring prisoners, often illegally kidnapped, via various compliant countries.
However, the Mexican ¡Por Esto! daily affirmed in its September 29 edition that the CIA used the plane on four occasions in recent months.
The national press notes that all files relating to the powerful jet were blocked in the Cancun Airport information system by the airport authorities themselves.
In the midst of contradictory reports, it was stated that the pilot, a Mexican by the name of Edick Muñoz Sánchez, had been transferred to the capital for interrogation.
But ¡Por Esto! revealed on September 30 that “Edick or Eric Muñoz Sánchez was not known to the Association of Aviation Pilots (ASPA) or to various flying schools in Mexico City.
The journalist, known for his investigations, noted: “To date, the Attorney General’s Office has NOT brought before the public opinion that young man initially identified as South American and subsequently as from the Federal District, with white skin and delicate features.”
Meanwhile, two other crew members from the plane, a man and a woman, managed to escape from the location of the accident in a truck stolen in Cancun and which reappeared some few hours later in Mérida.
The incident illustrates the level of drug trafficking in that part of the Yucatan Peninsula with the complicity of Miami Mafiosi who, for a few years now, have been using Cancun as a playing field.
It is not by chance that the accomplices of Luis Posada Carriles selected Isla Mujeres, in the vicinity of Cancun, for rescuing the international terrorist, a fugitive from Venezuelan justice.
