JFK terror plotters

A convicted drug dealer posing as a terrorist plotting with a small group of others to blow up John F. Kennedy International Airport gave this information to federal investigators in exchange for a lighter sentence, the Associated Press reported June 4.

The story should have ended there. A paid informer, one who faced life in prison, turned up a terrorist plot on JFK airport in New York City involving four retirees from the Caribbean—in exchange for little or no jail time.

That’s not a life-threatening terrorist conspiracy; that’s a get-out-of-jail free card that someone’s just played.

But like the U.S. government’s claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction—which everyone now knows was a total lie—the big business-controlled media is willing to report it as the real thing. That’s because it fits their agenda.

Never mind that the so-called plot to blow up fuel lines at the airport is not possible—CNN reported that Homeland Security said the attack as planned was “not technically feasible.” That didn’t stop the media.

There has been a long history of alleged terror plots being turned up by paid FBI informants. All of them fall apart under examination.

The Miami plot to bomb the Chicago Sears Tower in June 2006 is but one. The FBI said, and the media repeated as truth, that it was a plot by seven men with “sworn allegiances to al Qaeda.” Two months later the Washington Post reported that there were no hidden weapons, as the FBI had claimed, there was no conspiracy, and none of the seven had any connection to al Qaeda.

A month after the fictional plot in Miami, the FBI reported that a “NYC transit bomb plot was thwarted.” Days later, on July 7, CBS News said that “despite the FBI’s announcement that it disrupted a terror plot against New York City-area commuter trains,” CBS News had learned that the alleged plot was “mere bravado.”

The Ft. Dix attack plot reported on May 7 was another case of a paid FBI informant putting together a conspiracy and reporting the details to the FBI in exchange for his freedom from prison.

What do all these terror plots have in common, besides FBI press agents? They all seem to fit the political agenda of the administration in Washington.

A statement made by the defendants and their families in Trinidad and Tobago charged the FBI informant had approached them “with the specific intent to entrap them in activities they know nothing about, never agreed to and did not participate in.”

Huda Ibrahiim, daughter of Amir Kareem Ibrahiim, one of four men charged, read a statement on June 6 on behalf of the Trinidad and Tobago and the Guyanese Shi’ite Muslim community. She spoke at a news conference at a hotel in Port of Spain. (News24.com)

“We believe that the persons responsible for the arrest of our brothers are doing it for a purpose other than the protection of the people and interests of the USA,” she said.

“They have apparently done so in the interest of shoring up a lame duck presidency and increasing the lame chances of the Republican Party being returned to power in November 2008,” Huda concluded.

That pretty much sums it up.
