Monte reflects on Chuck Cadman's work in Parliament

The following are excerpts from interviews with the director of London's Al-Maqreze Centre for Historical Studies, Dr. Hani Al-Siba'i

The London Bombings

"Al-Siba'i: "I think that British Prime Minister Tony Blair made a grave error when he spoke before the investigation and claimed that the perpetrators of these acts were acting in the name of Islam. I think that he will pay the price for this grave error in the future. No possibility should be ruled out. We do not rule out the possibility that it was done by the intelligence agency of another Western country hostile to Britain. We do not rule out countries... or some Zionist Americans who wanted to overshadow the G-8 summit. But at the same time, we do not rule out the Al-Qa'ida organization. It's been claimed that Al-Qa'ida died in Afghanistan, and was buried in the caves there. And behold: it was resurrected after the American occupation of Iraq. Moreover, Al-Qa'ida controls the war agenda in Iraq. It is the Al-Qa'ida organization in the Land of the Two Rivers [Iraq], headed by Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi, that imposes its policies, to the extent that the Egyptian government was forced to... It was forced to recall [its ambassador], and other countries are afraid to send ambassadors there."............

Parliament Buildings are 'good targets': Sen. Kenny

"Grit Sen. Colin Kenny says it's only a matter of time before Canada will be terrorized. Now he says it's a race against time to get the country's 'security, intelligence and military capabilities up before the terrorists do something bad here."



It's been 4 years since 9/11 and all they do is talk and write reports instead of doing what has to be done to protect Canadians.

UNSCAM - Claudia Rosett

"The Manhattan District Attorney's office has opened a criminal investigation into the former head of the U.N. oil-for-food program, Benon Sevan, the DA's office has just confirmed for the first time to The New York Sun.

The probe, apparently well advanced, involves allegations of commercial bribery related to Mr. Sevan's role as executive director from 1997-2003 of the oil-for-food relief program for Iraq, then under U.N. sanctions against the former regime of Saddam Hussein. Mr. Sevan was picked for the job by Secretary-General Annan.

News of the criminal probe raises prospects that at least one U.N. official may yet face criminal prosecution over activities related to the more than $110 billion worth of Saddam's oil sales and relief purchases that the United Nations oversaw in Iraq from 1996-2003. The probe into Mr. Sevan comes on top of oil-for-food-related indictments of a number of private businessmen issued April 14 by federal prosecutors for the Southern District of New York, along with a federal complaint alleging bribery involving unnamed "high-ranking United Nations officials" - described in circumstances that suggest these are individuals other than Mr. Sevan."

Michael Ledeen

"I do not know if, as some commentators have suggested, the Iranians were involved in the London bombings, but it really does not matter, for Iran is the most potent force in the terror network, from which the killers in London undoubtedly drew succor. As of 9/11, the terror masters were five: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Today they are three, which is certainly good work on our part. But it isn’t nearly good enough. We cannot possibly have decent security in Iraq unless we end the murderous tyrannies in Tehran and Damascus, and convince or compel the Saudi royal family to shut down the global network of terrorist brainwashing centers they spend billions of dollars to operate.

All this should convince us that it is a mistake to microanalyze the London operation. It is just another event in the terror war, one of many, with many more to come. Its real significance should be seen as a further wake-up call to us and our allies. Our enemies know they are at war, and they are attacking us everywhere they can, in every way they can. Do we really know we are at war, and that we cannot win it within the parameters we have set for ourselves?

All in all, I felt safer in the African wilderness."

Center of the Jihadist World

"In conclusion, while many details are still obscure about yesterday’s attacks in London, the elements for such an attack have long been in place across Britain. The asylum awarded jihadists by that country may be just one of its dangerous flaws in the fight against Islamic extremism. Islamists have long harnessed the ability to wage jihad across the globe from Britain, and the recent attacks are no more than a natural evolution of that process."

Daniel Pipes

Chrenkoff- good news on Afghanistan

Peter Brookes- The Targets here

"We can only conclude that they're adapting to new anti-terrorism initiatives, perhaps even becoming more skilled at their terrorist black arts, especially in terms of operations and communications security.

For example, the terrorists aren't using intercept-vulnerable phones to communicate, but instead rely on couriers and the Internet to coordinate attacks — once again highlighting the importance of human intelligence.

We're facing a tougher enemy; we can't let our guard down — or stop pressing toward victory in the War on Terror — even for a second. "

An urgent email from Dr. Abacha last week , this week........

DR. BELLO OSAGE
CONTRACT AWARD CHAIRMAN
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
LAGOS - NIGERIA
Tel:234-80-33321055

Dear Sir,

REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSFER OF US$10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY)

I, on behalf of my other colleagues from different Federal Government of Nigeria owned parastatals decided to solicit your assistance as regards the transfer of the above stated amount into your bank account. This fund arose from the over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my parastatal to certain foreign contractors sometime ago.

We as holders of official positions in our various parastatals, were mandated by this new civilian government to scrutinize all payments made to certain foreign contractors by the past military government, and we discovered that some of the contracts they executed were grossly over-invoiced, either by omission or commission. Also, we discovered that the sum of US$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen million American Dollars only) was lying in a suspense account, although the foreign contractors were fully paid their entitlements after executing the said contracts.

We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount be transferred (for our own use) into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, as the code of conduct of the Federal civil service does not allow us to operate foreign accounts.

However, we have succeeded in transferring some of these monies, precisely US$5M (five million American Dollars only) into a foreign account in GENEVA (SWITZERLAND) last week, but unfortunately the provider of the account has severed all forms of contacts with us as he has refused to adhere to our earlier mutual agreement insisting that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account before disbursement will take effect. If for US5.Million (Five million only) we are not compensated, how can one guarantee full compensation on remittance of the balance of US$10 million (Ten million American dollars only).

We are therefore seeking your assistance based on the balance amount of US$10 Million which can be speedily processed and fully remitted into your nominated bank account. On successful remittance of the fund into your account, you will be compensated with 25% of the amount for assistance and services and 5% set aside for expenses contingency while 70% is for me and my colleagues.

This transaction is closely knitted and in view of our SENSITIVE POSITION we cannot afford a slip, I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free. We will avail you with our identities as regards our respective offices when relationship is fully established and smooth operation commences.

I am at your disposition to entertain any question(s) from you in respect of this transaction, so, contact me immediately through my e-mail osage2@v3mail.com or the above telephone number for further information on the requirements and procedure.

Please, note that this DEAL needs utmost confidentiality.

Yours faithfully,

DR. BELLO OSAGE

Dear Dr. Osage (there seems to be a lot of Doctors with access to lot of money in Nigeria), if you'll kindly click on this link, my representatives will be only too happy to discuss your proposal further with you

P.S.These scammers have been flooding emails and faxes for years.Don't get back to them but notify the RCMP, FBI or Secret Service.

"No terrorists here"?

" The London bombings also were a wake-up call to Canada -- arguably the safest of all Western targets, thanks to our soft approach as an incubator for terrorism.

Some fret that our military involvement in Afghanistan makes us a prime target for al-Qaida reprisal, and on Osama bin Laden's declared hit-list.

Maybe, but 700 Canadian soldiers among 15,000 NATO and other troops in Afghanistan hardly offsets our flaccid immigration process, and undermanned security and intelligence agencies.

CSIS has warned some 50 known terror groups have branches in Canada, yet as former PM, Jean Chretien assured: "We have no terrorists here."

Terrorists in Canada are unlikely to want the status quo disrupted. They may be crazy, but they aren't stupid. "
