Al-Qaeda the Database Unbound

In a lengthy excerpt posted on Wayne Madsen's site, Pierre-Henry

Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence, explains the

origins of the word " al-Qaeda. " As previously noted by British Foreign

Secretary Robin Cook, " al-Qaeda " has nothing to do with a terrorist

organization, as the neocons and the corporate media tell us over and

over, ad infinitum, but is in fact a database. " In the early 1980s the

Islamic Bank for Development, which is located in Jeddah, Saudi

Arabia, like the Permanent Secretariat of the Islamic Conference

Organization, bought a new computerized system to cope with its

accounting and communication requirements, " Bunel explains. " It was

decided to use a part of the system's memory to host the Islamic

Conference's database. It was possible for the countries attending to

access the database by telephone: an Intranet, in modern language. The

governments of the member-countries as well as some of their embassies

in the world were connected to that network. " Files associated to the

database were called " Q eidat il-Maaloomaat " and " Q eidat

i-Taaleemaat " in Arabic. " Those two files were kept in one file called

in Arabic 'Q eidat ilmu'ti'aat' which is the exact translation of the

English word database. But the Arabs commonly used the short word Al

Qaida which is the Arabic word for 'base.' "

 

Because of the presence of 'rogue states,' it became easy for

terrorist groups to use the email of the database. Hence, the email of

Al Qaida was used, with some interface system, providing secrecy, for

the families of the mujaheddin to keep links with their children

undergoing training in Afghanistan, or in Libya or in the Beqaa

valley, Lebanon. Or in action anywhere in the battlefields where the

extremists sponsored by all the 'rogue states' used to fight. And the

'rogue states' included Saudi Arabia. When Osama bin Laden was an

American agent in Afghanistan, the Al Qaida Intranet was a good

communication system through coded or covert messages…. Al Qaida was

neither a terrorist group nor Osama bin Laden's personal property.

 

In short, " al-Qaeda " was in essence an email designation and had

nothing to do with the " American agent in Afghanistan, " Osama bin

Laden. In fact, " al-Qaeda, " the terrorist organization, is a creation

of the United States government and the corporate media.

 

Pierre-Henry Bunel concludes:

 

The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called

Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there

is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of

an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive

the 'TV watcher' to accept a unified international leadership for a

war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US

and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in

making money.

 

Bunel, according to Madsen, was punished for his heresy. In December,

2001, the former French military intelligence agent was " convicted by

a secret French military court of passing classified documents that

identified potential NATO bombing targets in Serbia to a Serbian agent

during the Kosovo war in 1998…. Bunel's character witnesses and

psychologists notwithstanding, the system 'got him' for telling the

truth about Al Qaeda and who has actually been behind the terrorist

attacks commonly blamed on that group. "

 

It is noteworthy that that Yugoslav government, the government

with whom Bunel was asserted by the French government to have shared

information, claimed that Albanian and Bosnian guerrillas in the

Balkans were being backed by elements of " Al Qaeda. " We now know that

these guerrillas were being backed by money provided by the Bosnian

Defense Fund, an entity established as a special fund at

Bush-influenced Riggs Bank and directed by Richard Perle and Douglas

Feith.

 

Riggs Bank was used for " the dubious financial machinations of Saudi

diplomats and despots from Africa and South America, including Chile's

former maximum leader, Gen. Augusto Pinochet, " according to Jack

Shafer, writing for Slate, and citing Glenn R. Simpson of the War

Street Journal. Moreover, the Riggs Bank " enjoyed a 'relationship'

with the CIA for some time. " As noted by Madsen, Riggs Bank hosted the

Bosnian Defense Fund and this financial assistance was tapped by

" al-Qaeda " in Bosnia. On October 3, Madsen wrote:

 

The Muslim operation in the Balkans was largely supported by

official (CIA, DIA, and Special Operations) U.S. assistance but also

by unofficial help. This was mainly carried out by private military

contractors like MPRI and financial support networks like the Bosnia

Defense Fund, established in the mid-1990s at a Riggs Bank account in

Washington, DC. The principal movers behind the Bosnian Defense Fund

were Richard Perle and Douglas Feith. In fact, Feith's law firm, Feith

and Zell (FANZ) set up the Bosnia Defense Fund. According to a former

Riggs legal adviser, when objections were raised about the hundreds of

millions of dollars collected from such countries as Saudi Arabia,

Brunei, Malaysia, the UAE, Iran, Jordan, and Egypt that were being

detected by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN) being

sent from Washington to Sarajevo, Bosnia, and reports that there was

" spillage " of these funds into the hands of Al Qaeda units in the

country, Perle's response at one contentious meeting was, " just make

it fucking happen. "

 

Indeed, Perle and the Straussian neocons just made it f-ing happen on

September 11, 2001, although the money trail is studiously avoided and

swept under the rug by the corporate media. It is no secret Princess

Haifa al-Faisal, wife of Bander bin Sultan, had accounts at Riggs Bank

and money from these accounts allegedly found its way to two of the

nine eleven hijackers. Of course, the Bush nine eleven whitewash

commission denied this ever happened and thus this suspicious bit of

information found its way to the memory hole (see Dr. David Ray

Griffin, The 9/11 Commission Report: A 571-Page Lie). It should be

noted here that the Bushites redacted 28 pages from the Congressional

Joint Inquiry Report on 9-11 and those pages are assumed to have

contained information on the role of Saudi Arabia and another unnamed

country (more than likely Pakistan) in financing Osama. Interestingly,

however, a reference to a relationship between the supposed hijackers

Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi and the FBI was allowed to remain

in the report (the report states that the putative hijackers " had

numerous contacts with a long time FBI counterterrorism informant in

California and that a third future hijacker, Hani Hanjour, apparently

had more limited contact with the same informant, " see Allan P.

Duncan, Bush Should Cry Uncle and Release Saudi Info).

 

In summary, " al-Qaeda " never existed in the form now claimed by the

Bushites and the corporate media, " al-Qaeda " was in fact a database of

CIA recruited and trained mujahideen and an email connected to that

database, Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with that database and

thus all references in the corporate media claiming he is the leader

of " al-Qaeda " the fantastical terrorist organization are false (if not

deliberately contrived lies), terrorists falsely attributed to

" al-Qaeda " were organized by the U.S. military and NATO and financed

by a CIA front bank in Washington (connected to two principal

Straussian neocon criminals) and unleashed in Bosnia (assisting the

drug-running KLA mafia), and the CIA front bank later shared a

connection with prominent Saudi Arabians who are suspected of

financing the nine eleven hijackers (since the hijackers did not

actually exist, this money was probably used elsewhere in the nine

eleven operation). All of this information was predictably discarded

by nine eleven whitewash commission.

 

Of course, none of this arcane information means squat to the American

people, many whom believe Osama teamed up with Saddam to pull of nine

eleven and " al-Qaeda " is a real terrorist organization run by the

elusive " devils " (in Bush's Manichean parlance) Bin Laden and his

murderous cohort, al-Zarqawi. In fact, the official story is so

embedded in the American psyche, thanks to the relentless efforts of

the corporate media, it may never be possible for the truth to emerge.

 

Sooner or later, the neocons and their cardboard cut-out of a

half-witted president will chime their Pavlovian bells—bells

associated with the explosion of a " radiological device " or a series

of black op suicide bombings in the American heartland—and our

Emmanuel Goldstein du jour, al-Zarqawi, will be blamed and the process

will start anew, with shock and awe in Syria or Iran.
