CRITIC'S CRITIC

The destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) north and south towers was not engineered by Al Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden (OBL) because neither had the means. It was an inside job that had the highest American political and security officials involved.
All these years, they’ve been hiding the fact that these were all controlled demolitions. (Else, how was it that WTC Building 7, which was not hit by any plane, also collapsed?) And so today, 70 percent of New Yorkers already doubt the official government story.
In the background lies Israeli intelligence, together with a Jewish financier who gained at least $3.5-billion in insurance payments and sued for up to $7 billion more. George W. Bush used the post-WTC hysteria to attack Afghanistan which supposedly harbored OBL and then Saddam Hussein, despite his anti-OBL disposition, by “sexing up” propaganda on his cache of so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), now totally debunked as a hoax.
This new tale of the US’ killing of OBL is the latest hoax this time around, a new Weapon of Mass “Distraction” to divert people’s attention from the massively negative impact of the US and NATO’s killing of Moammar Gaddafi’s three pre-teen grandchildren and his youngest son Saif al-Arab.
Personally, the impact on me was so great I wanted to write an article entitled “We are all Saif al-Arab today” to commemorate the brutal murder of these innocents by the Western hegemonists. Filipinos may not feel the impact as much as the Arab nations, but the US, NATO, and their Arab puppet allies would have been put in an impossible spot when the bodies of Saif al-Arab and Gaddafi’s grandchildren were presented to the world--which happened but with a muted reaction, owing to the pre-emptive “spy thriller” of OBL’s death (a mood the Americans wanted to project and which the Philippine Daily Inquirer dutifully bannered).
The attention of the world should be on the inhumanity of the US and NATO in Libya, which Obama successfully diverted, along with his own crashing public popularity.
OBL has been a US ally and avatar in the Afghan war against the Russians. The Al Qaeda he is supposed to lead has been exposed again and again in the past. Shortly before his untimely death in August 2005, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that “Al Qaeda” is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan.
Given this reminder, it should not be difficult then to understand why the US, NATO, and Al Qaeda are united in Benghazi, Libya to depose Gaddafi. Al Qaeda was used in Kosovo to break up Yugoslavia. Al Qaeda in Mindanao and the MILF are assets of the US and, when necessary for US interest, will be used to rebel in full against the Republic. They’re not that different from the “peace panel” on the Philippine side, which, being made up of US assets, wants a postponement of the ARMM elections--to weaken local government warlords and strengthen their MILF nemeses.
Teddy “Boy” Locsin was wrong on his morning “Mambobola” program of May 3 where he said the killing of Bin Laden spells the end of the “Anti-Terror War.” It will and is already actually escalating as news headlines across the globe show, with justifications on increased heavy armed presence in public places; greater intrusions into privacy via extra-judicial wiretappings; and websites already banning comments questioning Obama’s story on Bin Laden’s “death” (Huffington Post is one). Hasn’t he learned from the local version of Al Qaeda and OBL, the Abu Sayyaf and leaders just as Abubarak (1998) and Kaddafy Janjanlani (2006), whose deaths authorities claimed would have ended the group’s activities, only to have it (Abu Sayyaf) resurrect endlessly whenever the military needed eruptions of violence to suit its ends?
Locsin is also wrong in fawning over Obama for this “kill” and his endorsement of the US forces’ return to RP, which only promotes a repeat of the victimization of the Philippines in World War II as a “sapper” country. It seems the whole caboodle in “Mambobola” has been taken in by the hoax that OBL was cornered in that little house in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which, contrary to US reports, the locals deny is a mansion, just 1.5 kilometers from the Pakistan Military Academy (Pakistan’s own West Point). That area must have always swarmed with security and cadets, yet nobody ever noticed anything? Even my youngest twin boys couldn’t believe Obama especially when it was reported that OBL’s body was buried-at-sea. Someone even commented, “Maybe with military honors as a soldier of the US?”
People should recall that popular and dyed-in-the-wool CBS news anchor Dan Rather’s report on 9/11 where he said a CBS investigation discovered that Osama Bin Laden was admitted for dialysis to the military hospital in Rawalpindi, Pakistan on September 10, 2001 under heavy US protection. Fast forward today with that shot of Obama and Hillary Clinton, with their staff, viewing the video of the firefight that supposedly did OBL in, and begin to see flashes of the 1997 “Wag the Dog” flick with Robert de Nero.
Bin Laden, the bogeyman, has been very useful to the US neoconservatives and defense industries for their profit-mongering. The likelihood is that Bin Laden had already died years ago from his kidney failures. There have been numerous assertions in the past from such figures as Benazir Bhutto (before her assassination) that OBL had died. Alex Jones of prisonplanet.com also reports a Republican source telling him OBL has been preserved in cold storage for eventual use. Is that why the alleged corpse was dumped into the ocean?
Former Pakistani intelligence chief Hamid Gul went on the Alex Jones Show and described the unverified assassination of OBL as symbolic theater, a “make believe drama” for Obama’s upcoming re-election campaign. We won’t have the whole story for some time but the truth will out soon, like the WMD lie of Bush and the WTC 9/11 hoax. What we should learn, and Teddy Locsin should take this seriously, is not to be taken for a ride by the warmongers who will ruin this world and this country called the Philippines for the nth time.
Meanwhile, let me point out the major historical error in Gloria Arroyo hack Rigoberto Tiglao’s April 28 column on Danding Cojuangco’s coco levy fund machinations. He is correct that the PCGG exemplifies the height of the Yellow government’s incompetence in failing to nail Danding, but his account of the 1992 elections is wrong--it was not Danding who ran to soil Imelda Marcos’ chances for the presidency but the other way around. The real protector of Danding wasn’t Cory Aquino but the Americans who also probably used him in its operation to martyr Ninoy Aquino and force a counter-democratic revolution in 1986.
On the other hand, I have praises for Ellen Tordesillas on Michael Ray Aquino’s possible extradition. Her blog raises the issue of Fr. Baldostamon who witnessed Almonte’s offer to the Dacer children to see their father, provided they maintain their public mourning. Ellen provided information that I had long searched for, the whereabouts of the priest--in Linköping, Sweden. Very good investigative work, Ellen!

Privatization by mortage
BACKBENCHER

5/7-8/2011
The one economic assumption this government believes is for as long as it does not indulge in corruption, it enjoys the high moral ground to accuse others of corruption. The problem however is that it reflects more of this administration’s shortsightedness. President Benigno Aquino III has failed to reckon that should his government fail to act on the massive corruption committed by the previous administration, it automatically it makes his own government equally notorious.
We have to restate this because there is nothing that could mollify the public from arriving at that conclusion. Failure to investigate and prosecute those responsible is to acquiesce into the criminal acts committed by its predecessor. We are referring to the loan agreement entered into by the Lung Center of the Philippines with the Land Bank of the Philippines.
A report submitted by Elizabeth M. Savella, the audit team leader of the Commission on Audit dated March 18, 2011 to Angeline A. Rojas, chief of the Accounting and Budget Division of the LCP, of which copy was furnished the current Executive Director, Dr. Jose Luis J. Danguilan, found some interesting items that could add to the long list of corruption attributed to its erstwhile head, Dr. Juanito A. Rubio, the enterprising doctor turned “tianggero”. Maybe Doctor Rubio is ingenious in many ways, but overstepped in exercising his powers unmindful that in the event the hospital fails to pay, it could be levied and sold by the lender Bank, a process that would make a mockery of the power of Congress to privatize or dispose by sale government corporations and their assets.
The unnumbered and undated Board Resolution states that “in the November 29, 2006 meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Specialty Hospital authorized Dr. Juanito A. Rubio, Medical Director of the LCP to source out, transact, approve funding source from banks for the acquisition of LCP radiotherapy equipment...” Note that the meeting happened not on the date the Resolution was signed. Rather, from November 29, 2006 or the date the Board allegedly met up to that period when the Loan Agreement was formalized on September 25 and December 23, 2009, respectively, it practically gave Dr. Rubio a carta blanche authority as to when he would wish to secure the vote of the ex officio chairman. Interestingly Dr. Esperanza Cabral was made to appear to have allegedly signed the Resolution as ex officio chairwoman sometime in November 2006, a position reserved to the Secretary of Health, when at that time, she has yet to be appointed Secretary.
To make matters worse, the loan agreement was finalized more than three years after the Board allegedly approved said Resolution as shown by the date it was signed separately on September 25, 2009 by Lolita T. Silva, the Assistant Vice President/Head of the Public Sector Department and by Doctor Rubio signing it on December 23, 2009. The dubiousness of the document was highlighted by the fact that it was acknowledged by two lawyers on separate dates in two separate acknowledgements, with one notarizing Silva’s version in Manila, while the lawyer for Rubio notarizing his version in Quezon City, considering that the loan agreement is not a unilateral contract. With that, one could logically deduce that the acknowledgment was prepared ahead of the loan agreement.
The report also stated that the Purchase Order dated April 22, 2009 came ahead of the Notice of Loan Approval dated August 19, 2009. Stated differently, Doctor Rubio made a purchase order even before the loan could be approved. Of course, there were other items considered as highly irregular as when it noted that the procurement of the radiotherapy equipment was bidded for the 3rd time with Golden Precision Medical Equipment, Inc. (GPMEI), and in that instance was awarded the contract. Allegedly, on the 2nd bidding, the procurement failed to push through although the bidding was already on the stage of post qualifying the selected bidder.
Besides, there were no pertinent documents that were attached to the voucher. The minutes of the pre-bid conference that allegedly transpired on February 24, 2009 stated there was an approved budget of P170 million for the purchase of said equipment. The amount was reiterated in the minutes for the opening of bids dated March 9, 2009. Both documents were prepared by Consolacion M. Balderosa, head of the Bids and Awards Committee Secretariat and by Dr. Joseph Leonardo Obusan, LCP-BAC Chairman. That same day the BAC approved Resolution No. 0004-2009 declaring GPMEI the winner although no other company participated in the bidding.
Discrepancies further shrouded the bidding because on March 13, 2009, Dr. Rubio notified GPMEI of the award stating therein the price of P160,192,270.00 which was lower than the winning bid of P170 million. Despite that, the Loan Agreement which was signed months later, specifically on September 25 and December 23, 2009, still appropriated P200 million reiterating the amount stated in the undated and unnumbered Board Resolution.
Most damaging was that the loan agreement was carried out without securing the prior approval of the President and with the concurrence of the Monetary Board of the BSP as provided in Section 15 of the General Appropriations Act. The reason is to prevent government agencies, like hospitals, from being privatized by levy should the borrower incur a default with the architects behind the scheme going scot-free. Clearly, the action taken by Dr. Rubio was ultra vires or an act beyond the scope of his authority.
Specifically, National Housing Authority Resolution No. 209 dated May 29, 1979 ratifying the Deed of Donation of the 12 hectare property states that in the event of dissolution of the donee-LCP, the parcel of land shall automatically revert back to the donor-NHA. This explains why P.D. No. 1823 did not authorize the administrators of LCP to mortgage said property even for the avowed purpose of purchasing hospital equipment. For that President Marcos only extended to it the privilege of tax exemption, to accept assistance from government agencies, and to receive subsidy and donations.
Given this, the Aquino administration can make a fresh start by filing charges of plunder, and graft and corruption against Dr. Rubio and those who affixed their signature in that questionable Board Resolution and Loan Agreement. Prosecuting them would do justice to poor Filipino patients who could only rely on the services of government hospitals for help.

Kadaffi's son and grandchildren
DIE HARD III
Herman Tiu Laurel
5/6/2011
Barack Obama timed the Osama bin Laden action-drama, tagged by the Inquirer as an “Epic raid like spy thriller,” for several major dilemmas the US is facing today. First is the massive deleterious impact of the US-Nato bombing of a residential area that killed Moammar Kadaffi’s second youngest son Saif al-Arab and his three pre-teen grandsons. Second is Obama’s dwindling poll numbers while entering an election year. Third is the Establishment’s worry that on the 10th year since 9/11 — after the destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) Twin Towers, including Building 7, with close to 3,000 victims — up to 84 percent of Americans, based on a 2006 New York Times/CBS News poll, reject the official US government story while over 80 percent support actor Charlie Sheen’s view that 9/11 was an “inside job” by high government officials.
This Obama stunt is the latest in a long history of hoaxes in aid of warmongering, going back to the fake Sinking of the Maine to the Gulf of Tonkin incident, to Bush’s 9/11 as well as Saddam’s WMD.
One of Kadaffi’s sons, Saif al-Arab, was wounded together with younger brother Khamis, back in the 1986 bombings (ordered by Ronald Reagan) that killed their 15-month-old adopted sister, but was not so fortunate this time in this second act of US barbarism against the Kadadfis.
I know the massive emotional impact these murders of innocents must have had on the entire Arab world since I, not even an Arab, felt the great injustice like a sword through my own heart. If I were in Libya, I would take up arms against the invaders too. I can see how the incident will fire up all Arab peoples, even in the puppet Arab countries, as well as other nations against this blatant Western aggression. Hence, Obama staged this “epic raid like spy thriller” to divert attention from the mourning for Kadaffi’s kin and their burial on land (which Muslim tradition requires, as against a burial-at-sea which the cowardly lying Americans did for the alleged Osama corpse).
I empathize with Kadaffi, as a father and grandfather, for the sacrifices made for his children (who represent the hope of the nation) and, more importantly, for his continued struggle against the real tyrants of this world. As a Filipino, I am ashamed at the way local mainstream media have groveled at the feet of US and Nato propaganda, re-issuing Western media lies for domestic Filipino consumption.
All told, they are merely part of the global warmongering and oppression, of the campaign of dehumanization against emerging nations such as Libya, the Philippines, and the rest of the Third World. Either that or they are just stupid — stupid to believe that the 9/11 WTC atrocities could have been planned and executed by pre-modern mujaheddins hiding in the most backward areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and stupid for refusing to read the genuine American conscience, such as the 700 scientists, architects, and engineers for “9/11 Truth,” who say the entire WTC collapse was a “controlled demolition.”
Fortunately for us all, Obama’s “epic spy thriller” script didn’t stay intact long enough to convince many. As soon as the tale hit the media, it began to unravel. Initially, the US said bin Laden fought back and used his wife as a human shield. That story quickly changed when other officials denied it. Then, as Bin Laden’s face, battered and smashed by bullets, appeared on the Internet, this was later proven by skeptics as a manipulation of two of his old photos.
Chinese media, which had reporters on the ground but were kept a distance away, initially reported that it was Pakistani troops that raided the alleged Bin Laden “mansion” but later retracted this. The “mansion” being reported by Western media turns out to be an ordinary three-story building typical of the community of many retired Pakistani military and civil service residents there. But the real fly in the ointment was the “burial-at-sea” which puts the Bin Laden body beyond verification.
The evidence of the lie is there for all to see. We culled the following from the best compilation of materials on the subject, prisonplanet.com: (a) photographs acquired by Reuters and taken about an hour after the US assault on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan show three dead men lying in pools of blood, but no weapons; (b) “Not a single bullet was fired from the compound at the US forces and their choppers. Their chopper developed some technical fault and crashed and the wreckage was left on the spot,” according to a Pakistani official; (c) a reference to the “rescue” of famed dramatic Marine Jessica Lynch which turned out to be a PR stunt (“Was Bin Laden assault a Jessica Lynch-Style Fable?”); and (d) the cover-up of the death of American football star turned Special Forces in Afghanistan Pat Tillman who was killed by fellow US soldiers after he questioned the war.
Finally, on the matter of 9/11 and who really did it, prisonplanet.com reports, “Top US Government Insider: Bin Laden Died in 2001, 9/11 a False Flag,” referring to Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, who worked at influential positions under three different presidents and still works with the Defense Department, going on Internet radio on The Alex Jones Show, stating that Osama bin Laden died in 2001 and that he would be ready anytime to testify to a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was an inside job. That should uncover the whole truth. But surely, the US ruling class dreads the day when this shall come to pass.
