| Francesco Cossiga |
The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera carried the following article on November 30, 2007. They report that President Emeritus of the Italian Republic Francesco Cossiga has stated that 9/11 was the work of US and Israeli intelligence. Not only that, all Democratic leaders in Europe and America are also aware of this fact.
The former President added that at least one of the alleged tapes by Osama Bin Laden is actually a fake. We here at SOTT have been stating precisely this to our readers for several years now, but still, it is nice to have it finally corroborated by a member of the political elite.
BRUSSELS - Seeking to revive the region's rapidly deteriorating economy, the European Commission on Wednesday proposed a stimulus package totaling 200 billion euros, or $256.22 billion.
The commission, the executive arm of the European Union, said in Brussels that the stimulus measures were necessary to bolster growth and employment in the European Union's 27 member countries. Just Tuesday, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development predicted that the 15 countries of the euro zone would contract next year by a combined 0.6 percent, and economists have begun speaking of 2009 as a "lost year."
The stimulus plan was larger than many economists had expected. It calls for a spending of "around 200 billion euros" or 1.5 percent of the European Union's gross domestic product. Most of the money - about 170 billion euros - would come from member-government spending, much of which has already been announced.

One of the detained members of an alleged Israeli-linked espionage network was involved with Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard, the official state news agency said Tuesday.
IRNA quoted Teheran General Prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi as saying the network formed after Israel's Mossad spy agency recruited a man who had "previously been in connection with the Guards."

What a week; world stock indexes took another serious beating while J P Morgan fired 3,000 amid speculation that total Wall Street job losses will reach 225,000 and Citibank was bailed out to the tune of $27 billion of new equity and in excess of $300 billion blanket guarantee of some of its toxic assets.

The big bang is not that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's majority Shi'ite/Kurdish 37-member cabinet in Baghdad has approved the draft of a security pact with the George W Bush (and Barack Obama) administrations allowing the US military to stay in Iraq for three more years; it's that the 30-strong Sadrist bloc will move heaven and Earth - including massive nationwide protests - to bloc the pact in the Iraqi National Assembly.
"The few who can understand the System (Cheque Money and Credits) will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class. While on the other hand, the great body of people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical* to their interests." - Extract from a letter written by Rothschild Bros of London to a New York firm of bankers on 25 June 1863

Emergency vehicles similar to these are suspected of having been purchased at auctions for use as suicide bomber vehicles.

So serious is the problem that counter-terrorism officials at the Home Office have written to eBay, the Internet auctioneer, asking them to stop selling emergency service vehicles, equipment and uniforms.
But eBay has insisted it can only halt the sales if a new law is passed by Parliament. That could take many months to enact.
The use of ambulances is of particular concern to Britain's terrorist chiefs. They say the tactic has already been used in Iraq with devastating effects.
Comment: There is a great deal of evidence that suggests the tactics attributed to terrorists, are in actual fact the work of the occupying forces. See: "Suicide Bombings" - The Cover Story For US Military Ops In Iraq
Comment: It is worthwhile to review the history behind the formation of Hamas, see:
