AL JAZEERA AND MOSSAD TOGETHER AT LAST?

On the fifth anniversary of September 11, memorials and reflections are busting out all over. We now have an onslaught of for-profit memories brought to you by Hollywood, its studios, directors, and broadcast networks. The publishing industry has weighed in too with scores of books, and our Congress has solemnized the event by freeing the link between 9/11 and Iraq. The twin towers have not been replaced yet, but an equal height of architectural criticism has been published as to why not and the politics behind that failure. Osama too, not wanting to be left out of the ceremonies, has released sort of a hidden video retrospective showing the planning of the attack. Let’s hope his nostalgia stops short of issuing a commemorative coin.
The conspiracy theorists are out in force too. Picking up the threads that were spun immediately after the towers came down, a denser, richer tapestry continues to be woven involving, as usual, the CIA, Bush, Cheney, Larry Silverstein, and, of course, from the Arab street … Mossad.
A brief refresher course may be in order to better understand a synthesis of theories. Minutes after it was revealed that Arabs were the hijackers of the planes that crashed into the towers and Pentagon, the Muslim world resonated with the belief that Arabs were incapable of such acts because: a. they were not competent to pull off such a successful mission; or: b. Islam prohibits the killing of innocents. Thus it immediately follows that Jews had to be behind this plot in order to besmirch the Muslim world. Much of the Arab world’s state- and religious-institution-controlled media advanced this theme. Not to be left out, even the French caught on with a bestseller called “The Horrifying Fraud” by Thierry Meyssan, claiming to prove that no plane ever crashed into the Pentagon. Needless to say, this made Osama have to prove his case and he tried to do so in many video and audio releases in an attempt to get back into the leadership role of 9/11 attack mastermind.
This week saw Al Jazeera release Osama-remembers-his-connection-to-9/11. It was broadcast on Al Jazeera, the semi-official voice of fundamentalist Islamists. Now the Arab mind is faced with a deep dilemma. Does it believe that Mossad was behind 9/11 or Osama, or is Mossad using Osama with or without the knowledge of Al Jazeera. Even the most diehard conspiracy theorist Muslim or Infidel thinker cannot have it both ways. Either Osama and his Sunni Jihadists killed thousands or Mossad did it.
Unless… and here is the big bang of conspiracy theories: Mossad hired or tricked Osama to do 9/11 and Al Jazeera is in on it.
Works for me. Look, as everyone on the Muslim street knows, the Jews are behind everything. They are the cause and effect of the universe. The economy and the foreign policy of the whole world are manipulated by the puppet masters the Jews. Even the Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari announced a few weeks ago that all the Sunni/Shiite slaughter was caused by…you guessed it: “the Jews.”
Clearly Osama planned and attacked America on 9/11 unless someone is impersonating him on a lot of videos. It would be hard for anyone to doubt he was at least an actor in the drama. As the Italians say when everything comes together: cosi. If Muslims couldn’t or wouldn’t kill innocents and Jews control everything, then the Zionist conspirators used Osama to start a war between the west and the Muslims and Al Jazeera is either a dupe in this war or also a creation of the Zionists.
It all fits perfectly. There are no rough edges in this puzzle; the logic is seamless and airtight. Can anyone come up with a better theory that would incorporate what every one of the one billion on the Arab street knows to be true? Can anyone else explain how a plot this complicated could be carried out by Arabs, no less? Since as we all know Muslims would never slaughter innocents, who else guided their hand? Without a broadcast network of their own, how could the Arabs know that the Osama tapes would be shown as is? So who needed Al Jazeera more than the Jews?
Welcome to the conspiracy mind of 9/11. Now that it’s all clear we can move on, but to what?
