Is Wikileaks/Assange case,a Media smokescreen ?

[vResistance 10]

While Hill's treatment is unfair the idea that an international media event is even remotely needed to smokescreen him is naive and laughable.

 

I have no prob with your view it does seem crazy on the face of it .

From a human rights point of view though i hope others can give him some support

Rob: the bombs themselves have been proven to be military grade high explosives, which would not be available to Muslim suicide bombers

 

 

Halibut: Amidst all the other speculation and fantasy this bit stood out.

It's a blatant falsehood.

 

 

Truth:

 

A CNN report on July 10th said:

 

"Technical data and witness accounts suggest the bombs contained synchronized timing devices and were probably not triggered by suicide bombers, police said, adding that the bombs were composed of "high explosives" and probably not homemade material."

Christophe Chaboud, head of the French Anti-Terrorism Co-ordination Unit, was also reported to have said a day later that the explosives used were "military in origin". He also mentioned that they were possibly trafficked from the Balkans, since it would generally be quite difficult to obtain military explosives, unless the men had "someone on the inside" to get them out of the military establishment.

 

 

"Superintendent Christophe Chaboud, head of the French security service’s Anti-terrorist Co-ordination Unit, said: “The use of military explosives is very worrying. We are more used to seeing home-made explosives made from chemicals. How did they procure them?"

The possibility of the explosives being sourced in the Balkans was also put forward by the French Interior Minister:

 

"French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy told the emergency meeting of EU justice ministers in Brussels that there was strong suspicion the explosives used in the bombings came from the Balkans or Eastern Europe, where it is possible to buy the material on the black market after the Balkan wars."

Charles Clarke, the then home secretary was reported to have been "bewildered" by these comments, even though reports stated:

 

"Traces of military plastic explosive, more deadly and efficient than commercial varieties, are understood to have been found in the debris of the wrecked Underground carriages and the bus. Scotland Yard has asked its counterparts around Europe to check stockpiles at military bases and building sites for missing explosives."

And Scotland Yard Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick told a news conference on Saturday July 9th:

 

"All we are saying is that it is high explosives. That would tend to suggest that it is not home-made explosive. Whether it is military explosive, whether it is commercial explosive, whether it is plastic explosive we do not want to say at this stage."

Other sources went as far as identifying the explosive found at the blast sites as C4:

"Traces of the explosive known as C4 were found at all four blast sites, and The Times of London said Scotland Yard considers it vital to determine if they were part of a terrorist stockpile."

Another report stated:

 

"Immediately after the blasts detectives found traces of RDX explosive, a key component used in the Madrid train bombings*."

Better wake-up Halibut.

Please supply links so we know you're not making it up.

"Julian Assange and his Wikileaks website are the main subject of a mainstream media blitz right now and it should be clear to everyone at this point that mainstream media only covers nonsense and side-shows, while keeping totally mum about things that should be headlines. So, simple logic would say that Wikileaks is being used by the Hidden Hand to accomplish something(s), in an effort to advance or protect some part of their agenda." from OP

 

Do the people that write this actually think about what they are writing? This is palpably complete bull.

 

Simple logic? WTF?

[Jonny5 10]

I guess for some people 'simple logic' and 'paranoid hysteria' mean the same thing.

Which proves nothing. The French PM says the explosives "probably" originated in the Balkans. The British government were very skeptical.
