Thousands honor attack victims
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3123120,00.html

Emotions high as Shfaram buries four terror victims. Northern town inhabited by Muslims, Christians and Druze awash with flowers, candles, and black ribbons, as pain unites everyone

<snip>

"About 10,000 people took part Friday afternoon in the funeral of Hazar and Dina Turki, 21 and 23 respectively, murdered Thursday in the terror attack aboard a bus traveling in the northern town of Shfaram. Later, murdered bus driver Michel Bahus, 56, and Nader Hayek, 51, were also laid to rest.

The funeral procession left the young women's home toward the city hall building, and from there to the Muslim cemetery in town. At precisely 12 p.m. church bells began ringing, and a short while later Friday prayers at the mosques got under way."

<snip>

"Across town there are flowers, candles, and residents carrying anti-racism placards. Meanwhile, young girls light up candles, wipe away tears, and observe a moment of silence in honor of the victims.

"What can be said about such disaster?" says Aiman, one of the girls at the scene. "How can you comprehend that these two angels are now with God? What a disaster."

1. Before more shit hits the fan let's understand false flag terrorism
I am posting these comments of mine again in this second thread because I do not have enough responses to put up my own independent thread. I hope you find this relative to your topic.

Let's talk false flag terrorism before the shit hits the fan again.

I have been concerned from the day that the World Trade Centre project on 9/11 just happened to be coinciding with an airforce drill that was 'a mock hijacking and response scenario' ....the drill was taking place on the same morning as the WTC attacks. See www.prisonplanet.com or www.infowars.com
Hundreds of millions of dollars of insider trading on United and American airlines one week prior to the 9/11 project went uninvestigated--no one was interrogated or charged with aforeknowledge. See www.fromthewilderness.com

The White House spin on these attacks was used to garner the support of the reluctant public to war on the "axis-of-oil" nations. Next came the lies of weapons of mass distraction and the falsified documents used to claim Iraq was nuclear capable.

Interestingly, it just so happens that 'mock terrorist drills' were also taking place on the same morning as the recent London bombings of 7/7/7. It has gone virtually unreported that the Pound fell 6% in the 10 days before the London terror attacks, a clear indication of prior knowledge on the part of London's financial establishment. See www.prisonplanet.com
And we now also have an admission by Israeli authorities that they did indeed receive prior warning of the attacks and warned Benjamin Netanyahu to stay inside his London Hotel.
If Israel knew it was bombs before they went off then why wouldn't British police?

Again, in Britain, we see the effect is to manufacture consent of the public to war on the scapegoat axis-of-oil nations through these so-called terrorist bombings.

My recent finding in the August edition of www.larouchepub.com and other sources (see www.globalresearch.ca) is that another set of "mock terrorist drills" are scheduled to occur in mid-August/05 in the southern United States...however, the alarming concern here is that these exercises involve a nuclear device of some kind.

The drive to take out Iran by nuclear attacks needs justification...A false flag terrorist operation pointing the finger at Iran as scapegoat is on the agenda of the US Administration's Middle East foreign policy. See www.larouchepub.com

I suggest concerned citizens do some serious thought on the coincidence of "mock terrorist drills" occurring on the very day as real terrorist operations...and then do what you can to alert the community to this madness...a madness which wishes to perpetuate the never ending imaginary war on terror and grant affiliated weapons/industrial contracts in the process.
Examples of false flag terrorism which I posted are found at http://www.gnn.tv/B07329

3. " imaginary war on terror"
I understand your point but this is not imaginary, re Spain, London, 9/11 etc. Also mentioning things like the pound dropping really can't hold water because every currency rises and falls all the time. I also don't know what you mean by "so-called terrorist bombings." Insider trading on the airlines before 9/11, I remember that charge, but again, insider trading goes on all the time. As to Netanyahu, the Israelis seem to have way better intelligence than others but they act on theirs. We, on the other hand, who saw certain things coming, like people wanting flight lessons but not landing and takoff lessons, sit around at FBI offices with no action. As far as scapegoating certain Mideast nations for 9-11, well, okay, what nations did the hijackers come from again? Most came from Saudi Arabia and I don't think that particular country has been scapegoated at all as we want the spigot turned on.

4. "what nations did the hijackers come from again?"
Why not just ask them?

Hijack 'suspects' alive and well

Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well.

The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt.

Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.

His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world.

Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.


Sorry to cloud your view of events with facts. Facts readily available to the entire world, I might add. From my point of view, I wonder just who was flying that plane?

5. sorry to cloud your view of events with the facts also
Here are the facts:

from Wikipedia

"The BBC reported on September 23, 2001, that a man named Waleed A. al-Shehri (not Waleed M. al-Shehri) was alive and well in Casablanca, Morocco, working as a pilot for Saudi Airlines. He had trained in Florida in the mid-1990's and his personal details were subsequently confused with those of the hijacker. (It is possible that the photos of al-Shehri released by the FBI are of this man, although that is unclear.) He has since appeared in many newspaper and television interviews. He was interviewed by US officials in Morocco, and cleared of all charges against him. <4><5> <6><7> He was not the same individual as the hijacker who came from an impoverished border region of Saudi Arabia and had never finished college or attended flight school.

Al-Shihri, (Waleed M. al-Shehri's father) says his son has been missing since for 10 months prior to September of 2001 <8> An ABC News story 3/15/02 states the same. During an television story entitled "A Saudi Apology" for Dateline NBC on Aug 25 2002 NBC's reporter John Hockenberry traveled to Saudi Arabia’s Asir province. He interviewed Waleed's brother Salah who agrees that his 2 brothers are dead and that they were "brainwashed".

Another article explains that the pilot who lives in Casablanca was named Walid al-Shri (not Waleed M. al-Shehri) and that much of the BBC information regarding "alive" hijackers was incorrect according to the same sources used by BBC. <9>"

Below from the 9-11 Report:

There were 26 al qaeda terrorists: 18 Saudis, 2 Emiratis, 1 Lebanese, 1 Morrocan, I Egyptian, 1 Pakistani and 2 Yemenis.

---------------
The Final 9/11 Commission Report
Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waleed_al-Shehri"
-----------------

Yes, the above are Facts readily available to the entire world, I will add
