Why the Real Name Is
`Osama Bin London'
by EIR Staff & Robert Fisk
Since 1996, Executive Intelligence Review has been the publication of record
in exposing that the alleged terrorist "mastermind," Osama Bin Laden, is in
fact a creation of U.S. and British intelligence services operating under
the doctrine of Zbigniew Brzezinski, and his Trilateral Commission underling
Samuel Huntington's theory of the "Clash of Civilizations."
In August, 1998, under the influence of high level agents of British and
Israeli disinformation, the United States made the disastrous move to send
cruise missile strikes against the the Al Shifa pharmaceutical plant in
Khartoum, Sudan, and against a number of locations in of a series of
locations in Afghanistan, in "revenge" against Osama Bin Laden. The attacks
had no effect in stopping alleged Bin Laden terrorism, and the Khartoum
attack tragically killed an innocent civilian. Reports later revealed that
U.S. intelligence agencies knew that the medicine factory in Khartoum was
not a Bin Laden weapons plant, but that leading State Dept. figures around
Madelaine Albright ignored reports that the Al Shifa plant had no connection
to terrorism.
In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 strategic covert operation
against the United States, where more than 6,000 people were killed, the
same Osama Bin Laden false trail is being hyped by the U.S. media. Media
repitition of the same disinformation and drivel that followed the 1998
Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania constitutes a threat to the national
security. Again, EIR is warning that the "Bin Laden did it" propaganda line
is a dangerous ruse that blindsides a real investigation into who was
responsible for Sept. 11. At least a dozen major articles have appeared in
EIR since 1996 detailing Bin Laden and his network as assets of British
geopolitical destabilization. The excerpt here are taken from an article by
Joseph Brewda which appeared in New Federalist newspaper on August 25, 1998.
With the U.S. bombing of the Afghan headquarters of Osama Bin Laden, the
alleged mastermind of the terrorist bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya
and Tanzania, the American public has suddenly been hit with wildly
exaggerated newspaper articles and television reports depicting Bin Laden as
some new "Carlos the Jackal," a semi-mythical figure at the center of
"international terrorism."
Only in the fantasy-ridden world of Hollywood do "rich" "criminal
masterminds" carry on their own wars and terrorism. Outside the world of
James Bond, things work quite differently. Within the U.S., this news
service has been unique in its coverage of Bin Laden since July 1996, long
before he was on anyone's "radar screen." EIRNS correctly identified him as
a deployable and easily manipulable asset of British Intelligence services.
He does not determine London's terrorist policy or its targets, and has a
secondary assigned role bearing on financing, propaganda, and diversion, in
the network in which he is deployed.
Bin Laden sometimes attempts to disguise his British affiliation, or the
fact that the international headquarters of his movement is in London, and
not, as absurdly claimed by the U.S. media, in Afghanistan or Sudan. Yet the
truth can be seen by anyone who cares to seek it: Bin Laden called up the
editor of the London-based Arabic daily Al Quds Al Arabi last week, to
reassure the British that he was "only interested in hitting the U.S. and
Israel" in response to the attack on Afghanistan, and not Britain. On Aug.
22, his London-based mouthpiece, Omar Bakri, also emphasized to the
London-based Arabic daily Al Sharq Al Awsat, that "we have a covenant of
peace with the British government."
The embassy bombings, as the U.S. government also knows but refuses to say,
were not the work of Bin Laden. They were carried out on effective orders
from London, and possibly with Israeli mediation, and may have included
assets other than those identified with Bin Laden and his networks. In fact,
some intelligence specialists have speculated that Bin Laden's role was more
as part of an effort to entrap the Clinton administration into launching its
ineffective and counterproductive attacks last week-which attacks will have
long-term disastrous effects for U.S. policy, and which therefore serve
London's larger interests in this period of global financial chaos and
crisis. - Who Is Bin Laden, Anyway? -
To really understand Bin Laden requires stepping back from U.S. State
Department and Defense Department press briefings, and Washington Post
fulminations, to examine how and why Britain invented him, and how he is
being deployed today.
As we have reported, and as is known to various international intelligence
operatives, Osama Bin Laden first got involved in the terrorist and
intelligence "business" in 1980, when he was picked up by the Thatcher and
Reagan/Bush adminstration to help fund their "secret war" in Afghanistan.
Since 1982, especially, Osama was often seen at the Afghan Mujahideen
training camps in Peshawar, Pakistan, handing out sackfuls of cash to the
"57 varieties" of Mujahideen groups then fighting Soviet troops in
Afghanistan.
This Afghan "secret war" was designed by Britain's Viscount Cranbourne,
scion of the Cecil family, and his sidekick, Lord Bethell, as part of their
general "Arc of Crisis" policy of using "Islamic fervor" to undermine the
Soviet Union (while also, eventually, eliminating U.S. presence from the
region). It was passed off to a duped Ronald Reagan by then British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher .... Bin Laden, whose Saudi family became
fabulously wealthy through government construction contracts, was one of a
number of so-called private, dissavowable channels used to fund the war.
Osama Bin Laden first came to the attention of his future masters through
their earlier deployment of his cousin and mentor, Sheikh Salim Bin Laden,
one of four Saudis allowed entry into Britain's Prince Philip's exclusive
1001 Club, the financial conduit of his World Wildlife Fund. The Bin Laden
family is the wealthiest non-royal family in the Saudi kingdom; Sheikh Salim
was considered excessively Anglophilic, even by Saudi standards.
Sheikh Salim also found U.S. patrons. By 1979, he had become a business
partner of George Bush's son, current Texas Governor George W. Bush, in the
family's Zapata Oil and Arbusto Ltd.
Organizing Terrorism
By the time the Afghan war broke out in 1980, Sheik Salim was already a
dominant figure in the British-run Bank of Credit and Commerce International
(BCCI) which Thatcher and Bush used to fund their Afghan war. Osama, then a
20-year-old kid, was enlisted as the Sheikh's junior partner. His zeal for
the "Afghan cause," and his $400 million in personal assets, came in handy.
In 1988, the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan, and the Bush and Thatcher
governments dropped the Afghan Mujahideen from their roster of "Freedom
Fighters," and dumped them on the job market. They remained under British
Intelligence control, however. Many were soon redeployed to North Africa and
the Mideast, to carry out terrorist actions ascribed to "Islamic terrorist
groups," on behalf of British geopolitical aims. Bin Laden remained
Britain's primary paymaster for these groups, and nothing more.
