With the eyes of the world on Yemen and officials pointing the finger squarely at the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) group based in the nation’s south, Yemen’s government is cautioning against jumping to conclusions, and denying that the bomb plot packages came from Yemen at all.
“No UPS or DHL cargo packages heading to Chicago through Yemen took place in the last 48 hours,” insisted Yemenia Airways’ Air Cargo Director Mohammed Shaibah. Officials with the nation’s Civil Aviation Authority insisted that ono US cargo aircrafts left the nation at all in the past 48 hours.
All reports have indicated that the packages were marked as having come from Yemen. It is unclear exactly how to reconcile this with the Yemeni government’s claims that they couldn’t possibly have originated there.
The various “suspicious packages” included some which tested positive for explosives and others with included printed circuit boards and wires. The exact nature of the plot remains a mystery as officials are still examining all of the devices and running tests on the apparent explosive payloads. Whatever the case, it seems clear the Yemeni government is eager to deflect attention.
Said mystery packages were also reported to be heading for Chicago. Hmmmmm. The Prez's own back yard. How pathetic. And doubly so because I know just how stupid people are to fall for it. To that I raise my martini in recognition of the Empire for yet another manipulation well done and not because I approve. Their fingerprints are all over this, again, and I can hear them chuckling.
Judging by all the comments questioning the "package from Yemen" story, it appears that many people don't believe our government. I am shocked…shocked.
Do you believe your government Mr. Sheeple?
Clinton? That you William?? haha shocked that the US citizens are waking up to what the hell is going on! Common sense tells us one thing while the President of the United Sates of America tells us another.

Yemen is going to take over the world. Hel-l-l-l-p!
Another cave dwellers will invade the great US Of A. Obama Ramboo will get them all on his own.
Do we have here yet another "October Surprise"? PETN is available most anywhere in the world. India perhaps produces more than other countries and exports it over the globe. The origin therefore, will be difficult to track
If they didn't come from Yemen, they came from Halliburton HQ in the UAE. Cheney and Rove almost certainly are behind this attack on the country they hate and want to turn into a feudal theocracy.
There are a lot of logistical issues with this apparent attack. The packages contained cell phone circuit boards to detonate them.
1. The cell phones would have to be a type that works on US networks (GSM with an international chip for instance). Possible for a Yemeni or whoever to obtain, but it does narrow the options.
2. Battery life – cell phone batteries tend to last hours, not days. Life is shortened dramatically when the cell phone is seeking a signal which it would be doing most of the time during its journey.
3. Timing – To detonate via cell phone, the terrorist must dial the phone when it is accessible and before it is discovered. The terrorist has no way of knowing when it would reach its destination. True, FedEx, UPS, etc have tracking, but that is not exact and actually delivery time is entered after delivery. It must be detonated before the recipient opens the package. Of course, the terrorist could just take out the delivery truck or the cargo airplane. The cargo airplane could only be taken out during landing/take off or on the ground. No cell phone coverage at 30,000 ft over the ocean.
4. Overly Complicated – With the above issues, why would a terrorist choose to use a cell phone for detonation when a simple trigger device that releases when the package is opened would be much more reliable.
5. Traceability – cell phones and cell phone calls are tracked. The cell number on the phone has a subscriber who pays the bill. Maybe the phone was stolen, but those are usually reported and disabled pretty quickly. If the package had been detonated by a call to the cell phone, the calling number is tracked also. True, the call could come from a common use phone any where in the world, but it would be a lead.
This looks like a pretty amateur attempt to blow something up and a pretty good attempt at keeping the fear and hype in the American psyche.
This is yet another attempt to "sex up" a false flag operation with the aid of Leviathans paid propagandists… i.e. the MSM. I know of plenty of ways to cause tumult and chaos and that's just sitting here at the keyboard! Damn it all….!!! You're spot on with this being OVER sophisticated. And what exactly do you do should a wrong number come in on an active cell phone or the package itself gets misdirected? Tell me that doesn't happen in the real world. No, this doesn't pass the sniff test because I conjure that whats really in those toner cartridges is refined bullshit.
Agreed totally! This is a disgusting attempt at controlling us.
The most important question to ask here is:
Why would a terrorist organisation send 2 crappy bombs the days after BA came out with an attempt to relax rules around flying?
Any serious terrorist, which we are lead to believe al qaeda are, would wait for these laws to be relaxed then create a massive assult on us. The worst thing to do is not even wait a day then send 2 shite bombs and greatly increase security in the UK and USA.
Why on earth would you do this – it makes no sense at all. What does make sense unfortunately is the US manufactoring these lies so the rules are tightened rather than relaxed.
Just one more thing – Yemen…does it have Oil by chance?
The more things change, the more etc etc
Thanks Hermann! And Machiavelli. Do the 'news' people really fall for this stuff?
"It is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of their leaders. That is easy. All you have to tell them is that they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
-Hermann Goering (Nuremberg Trials)
Back in 1990 when Saddam invaded Kuwait. Of course with green light from Bush Daddy. The media in the US planted terror in the US population claiming Saddam was about to hit US with Mustard gas with his rockets. The people got panic and started russian to Army surplus supply stores and went buying gas masks with doct tapes. Of course the people who benefitted from this propoganda were Bush's closest friends who sold these items. Unfortunately American lack three things: math+history+geography= knowledge. Iraq is around 6500 miles from USA. How could Saddam send his rockets with the range of 800 miles to USA. I feel sorry for the Americans who have been led like sheeps to the slaughter houses by their own representatives. They believe everything the media says.
The first time I heard this story on the news I thought that it sounded fishy. It's nothing but a false flag operation to get ignorant and unread people to panic and give away more rights. We have to be the dumbest and most gulliable country in the world.
