Refugee issues should not blind threat from IS: Spanish interior minister

News | 12.09.2015 | 00:12

Xinhua - Spanish Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz insisted on Friday that Spain must not allow humanitarian issues with refugees from Syria and Iraq to blind them to the threat posed by the Islamic State (IS).   It was confirmed on Wednesday that Spain will accept 17,680 refugees who have fled from the conflict in Syria and Iraq, but in an interview with right wing radio station Cadena Cope, Fernandez Diaz said the country had to be careful whom they allow in.   "It is urgent to accept refugees, but that has to be done in a way that is compatible with security," said Diaz, who added that the "official goodness" of other parties should not be allowed to lift the "shadows of suspicion," which he believes hangs over the refugees.   There are "threats," warned the minister, who said he had information "about robberies of blank Syrian passports," which could be used by members of DAESH (IS) to help infiltrate Spain or other European nations.   Fernandez Diaz commented that although he was not questioning the EU quota of refugees and that Spain would "accept the refugees that the European Commission has assigned to us," he would insist that "the appropriate measures to guarantee the security that Spanish society requires" would be adopted.

Refugees: As Europe Sows, So Shall It Reap by Elena PONOMAREVA

The news coming out of Europe lately is becoming increasingly reminiscent of reports from the front line. In Austria, Germany, Hungary, Macedonia and Serbia, police are clashing with illegal immigrants, hundreds of thousands of whom have made a beeline for Europe. A number of governments are considering using their armies and even NATO Response Forces to protect their borders, but this, together with the possible collapse of Schengen and the construction of walls along the borders of national states, will not save Europe. Scenes from the film World War Z provide an outline for how events will develop: there are no walls that can protect against huge influxes of people who have nothing to lose and who have no future in their own countries engulfed in permanent wars at the evil will of the ‘game masters’. The roots of the problem stem from the nature of global capitalism as a world of pillaging and profiteering that has instigated a new great migration of peoples in the second decade of the 21st century. Armed conflicts and wars, which, in some way or other, the US and its allies have had a hand in unleashing, are the main reason for the migration crisis currently engulfing Europe. The influx of refugees to Europe is a result of the purposeful effort to destabilise large geopolitical areas. This influx will not stop until somebody puts an end to this destabilization. The onset of the incalculable migration pressure on the Old World could easily have been predicted and calculated, meaning that the actions that led to the creation of the force upending Europe before our very eyes had a direct benefit for those who took them. The main beneficiaries of an organised mass exodus of people from the Third World to Europe are multinational companies. The future being prepared for Europe, which is being turned into a new melting pot, was clearly hinted at by US President Barack Obama when in May 2011 (the bloody feud in Syria had only just begun), while speaking in London, he let slip a meaningful phrase: «This century will be the century for the birth of new nations.» There is no better place in the world for the development of new nations than Europe. I think, however, that the cruel experiment on Europe is only the beginning, only the first stage of a large global reconfiguration. Important institutions in the West have been looking at the issues surrounding the displacement of large numbers of people for decades. Also in 2011, the London School of Economics and the Brookings Institute (US) presented the Project on Internal Displacement. The main focus of this curious document was given to the development of mechanisms for the resettling of large numbers of people from different parts of the world. The justification for this interest was the possibility of a global climate catastrophe – «a new Ice Age». Among other things, the project worked out migration routes from the North Atlantic to Northern Eurasia. People only know about the public part of this document, however. I am not ruling out the possibility that some of the project’s recommendations are currently being piloted in Europe. The process seems to be perfectly organised. The refugees are well dressed, have the very latest mobile phones and the money to travel the length of Europe, information about the best routes, etc... It is worth noting that since 2004, Strobe Talbott, the former US Deputy Secretary of State responsible for relations with Russia in Clinton’s administration, has been the president of the Brookings Institute that worked on the Project on Internal Displacement. At present, there is an endless stream of refugees stretching to Europe from conflict zones created as a result of the interventionist policy of the US and its allies, but the European Commission is putting all the costs associated with supporting these new migrants on the shoulders of ordinary European taxpayers, mockingly referring to it as «a fair distribution of responsibility for the fate of refugees». This is only one aspect of the emergency situation created in Europe, however. Elena Guskova, a leading Russian expert on the Balkans, has pointed out another aspect. «While in Belgrade in June (2015 – E.P.),» she wrote, «I noticed that young people who did not speak Serbian and who did not look like refugees began to appear regularly in the city. They usually walked around in threes and tried to blend in, although their athletic builds were striking. These close-knit trios of ‘aliens’ were also seen in other Serbian cities, but information about them in the media was sketchy. The majority of the ‘refugees’ that appeared in Serbia were men no older than 27, 94 per cent of them were Muslim and 56 per cent were without families. They did not like being photographed and were not short of cash...» Back then, at the start of summer, this observation was wrongly ignored! Why these strong young men are leaving their families at home and travelling to Europe, what they have been trained in and what they are planning to do are all questions that demand an immediate and urgent response. While studying the experience of the French Revolution, Arnold Toynbee once wrote that the worst time for Europe will come when the internal and external proletarians unite. It seems that this «worst time», the arrival of which was predicted by Arnold Toynbee, MI6’s agent at London’s Royal Institute of International Affairs, is on the way. The radical elements infiltrating the migration flows to Europe will easily find supporters among the extremist youth of France, Spain and Italy. On the other hand, there will be an attempt to extend the tentacles of the Islamic State to Europe. The migrant avalanche of 2015 is, of course, a delayed reaction to decades of Western policy towards the Third World. But also, it is a controlled process, the «Project on Internal Displacement» in action. As has already happened many times in history, Europe is once again standing at an epoch-making fork in the road. Source: Bild To be or not to be? It seems that a definitive answer to Hamlet’s question is being demanded from Europe this time. The half measures being resorted to by the European Commission to preserve Europe as a civilisation are failing. Firstly, increasing the burden on national budgets during an economic crisis will be punishing and, in a number of cases, a backbreaking load for both governments and citizens. Secondly, tightening control and the possible review of or even withdrawal from the Schengen Agreements will seriously exacerbate tensions within the European Union by shifting the burden of supporting the migrant hordes to the weakest. None of this will protect Europe, but will only lead to the creation of barbarian provinces similar to those that formed a ring around and destroyed the Roman Empire in the first centuries AD. In order to survive and preserve itself as a civilisation, Europe needs to combat the causes rather than the consequences. The migration process will continue for as long as the multinational corporations and supranational power structures continue to destroy and pillage all those around the world unable to fight back. So what is it to be, Europe? Are you in favour of pillaging or against it?

Perpetrators Behind 9/11: Following Money

Wayne MADSEN* | 11.09.2015 | 00:00

On the fourteenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks upon the United States, events that forever changed American democracy, there are those within the U.S. government who continue to cover up who and what were actually behind these terrorist attacks. Both the Obama and Bush administrations have stymied the public release of 28 key pages from the U.S. Congress's «Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001». The report was issued in December 2002. Since that time, the then-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, former Democratic Senator Bob Graham of Florida, has been joined by a bi-partisan group of senators and representatives in calling for the release of the 28 pages. When a portion of the report was released in 2003, the Bush administration insisted the 28 pages remain classified.  The issue has arisen as an issue in the 2016 presidential race with Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul calling for the 28 pages to be released while Republican Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, a former federal prosecutor who knows much more about 9/11 than he is willing to admit, has argued for the pages to remain classified. Christie has even called for Paul to be put on trial in a Joe McCarthy-like witch hunt if there is ever another terrorist attack on America. Also arguing against release is Republican Representative Peter King of New York who said he has read the 28 pages and believes they must remain classified. Joining King is Republican South Carolina Senator and 2016 presidential candidate Lindsey Graham who said releasing the pages would harm U.S. relations with its allies in the Middle East. Graham refused to name those so-called «allies». The FBI knows the identities of those «allies». In addition to Saudi Arabia, they include Kuwait and Qatar. Kuwait became a significant base of operations for Osama bin Laden and his «Al Qaeda» support network. Kuwait was the headquarters for an Islamic «charity» Lajnat al Dawa al Islamiyah, a group designated by the Treasury Department as a «Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) organization. Lajnat gave financial support to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged «Al Qaeda's» chief planner of the 911 attacks. Members of the Qatar royal family also harbored top Al Qaeda fugitives, including Osama Bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al Zawahiri. Kuwait and Qatar also host major U.S, military bases in the Gulf region. It can be understood why Peter King would take such a position on the 28 pages. King was a longtime supporter of funding terrorist groups in Ireland, including the Provisional Wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the «Real IRA», an even more violent group that carried out a deadly bombing of civilians in Omagh, Northern Ireland in 1998. King's reticence in releasing the 28 pages is understandable since they explain how the 9/11 terrorists were funded through an interwoven network of Saudi bank accounts and secret Muslim financiers, the same sort of network that King once used to help finance IRA terrorists in Ireland. As for Lindsey Graham, he is a retired colonel in the Air Force Reserve’s Judge Advocate General Corps and he presumably has had access to information about the total collapse of the Air Force’s defense system on the east coast of the United States on 9/11. The principal job of military lawyers like Graham is to cover up incompetence or other malfeasance at high ranks within their respective services. A decade ago, a list of organizations that were investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and were on the National Security Agency's watch list for suspicious money transfers and transactions relating to the 9/11 attacks was leaked. The 28-pages in the Congressional report remain classified because the Central Intelligence Agency had assigned case officers and «NOCs» - non-official cover clandestine agents -- to work with officials and employees of many of the organizations on the list. The CIA is among the agencies that is adamantly opposed to releasing the 28-pages and making them public because of its involvement with many of the businesses and groups prior to and after 9/11. The following banks are on the list: Al Baraka Investments and Development Corporation Al Barakaat Exchange LLC Al Rajhi Banking and Investment Al Shamal Islamic Bank Arab Bank Bank al-Taqwa Dar al Maal al Islami Dubai Islamic Bank Faisal Islamic Bank National Commerce Bank Shamil Islamic Bank Tadamon Islamic Bank The list also includes the following Islamic charities: Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, Inc. Benevolence International Foundation International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) Muslim World League Muwafaq Foundation Rabita Trust for the Rehabilitation of Stranded Pakistanis SAAR Foundation Sanabel al Kheer, Inc. Wafa Humanitarian Organization World Assembly of Muslim Youth The following Saudi officials are on the list: Turki al Faisal al Saud (the former chief of Saudi intelligence and ambassador to the U.S. and U.K.) Mohammed bin Faisal al Saud (chairman of the board of the King Faisal Foundation) Sultan bin Abdul Aziz al Saud (late Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia). Bandar bin Sultan bon Abdulaziz al Saud (the Saudi ambassador in Washington on 9/11) Release of the 28 pages has also been stymied by certain proactive congressional members of the Israel Lobby. The reason for that can be explained by the presence on the list of suspicious elements that were involved in supplying airport concessions on 9/11. Many of the supplied concessions are located within the secure parts of airports, including Newark and Dulles International Airports, where two of the four hijacked planes had originated on 9/11. The security applied to airport concessionaires was managed by aviation security companies with links to Israel. As one official who read the 28 pages confided on deep background, the embarrassing links to Israel are found in the footnotes found within the 28 pages. The American public has been conditioned to accept the findings of the 9/11 Commission at face value even though the two commission chairmen, former Republican Governor Thomas Kean of New Jersey and former House of Representatives Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Lee Hamilton have publicly complained that important information was withheld by the Bush administration and that the commission was lied to by government officials about what transpired on 9/11. They have, along with Commission member Max Cleland, the former Democratic senator from Georgia, for a new 9/11 Commission, one that will not be interfered with by government pressure and non-cooperation. The Pentagon has even pressured Hollywood against producing any truthful films about 9/11.  The Pentagon censors clearly do not care for any film or documentary that questions the official story of the 9/11 attack. They quickly turned down a request by National Geographic for military footage on a documentary on Ali Muhammad, the American Central Intelligence Agency operative and U.S. Special Forces drill sergeant who also worked for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. In 2005, a National Geographic special on Al Qaeda, a prequel to a program called «Inside 9/11,» received no support to film the U.S. Army Land Information Warfare Agency (LIWA) in Fort Belvoir, Virginia and a recruiting station because LIWA no longer existed. LIWA was the home of the controversial Able Danger operation, which reportedly was keeping track of many of the 9/11 hijackers and their money movements and communications prior to the September 11, 2001 attack. And, if the Pentagon's presence in Hollywood is not overbearing enough, consider that the CIA also maintains an «Entertainment Industry Liaison» in Tinseltown. Its mission statement is to «give greater authenticity to scripts, stories, and other products in development. That can mean answering questions, debunking myths, or arranging visits to the CIA to meet the people who know intelligence — its past, present, and future». It does not mean assisting movie production companies in portraying what actually occurred before, during, and after 9/11. That is because the official story is that 19 Arab hijackers armed only with box cutters managed to, in a few hours, defeat a command, control, communications, and intelligence system that cost the United States trillions of dollars to build. That is worthy fodder for any Hollywood fantasy movie. Unfortunately, the U.S. government continues to insist that the American people buy this «Alice in Wonderland» nonsensical story. * Wayne MADSEN Investigative journalist, author and syndicated columnist.
