US-Australia Coverup: Was Al Qaeda Behind the 2002 Bali Bombing? CIA, Intelligence Agencies False Flag Attack?
- Al Qaeda is a creation of western Illuminist intelligence agencies: CIA, MI5/6, Mossad …. It is to sell the terrorism fear meme to herd the sheeple. In reality, Al Qaeda is really just a database list of names of: Mujahideen freedom fighters, jihadists, mercenaries, criminal thugs … under the employment of western Illuminist intelligence agencies. The organization, planning, logistic supplies, arming, target selection, financing, training, management …. are all by these Illuminist intelligence agencies! Watch video at end of post!
– - The Global War on Terror is an Illuminist hoax. It is used to take away more and more of the liberties of the sheeple, implement a police state, martial law …. and eventually ‘666’!

US-Australia Coverup: Was Al Qaeda Behind the 2002 Bali Bombing?
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky, http://sabbah.biz/mt/
Ten years ago, the Bali Bombing, October 12, 2002. Survivors and families of the victims gathered in Bali to commemorate this tragic event. “The ceremony was held under the watch of 2,000 police and military personnel, including snipers, after Indonesia issued its top alert due to a “credible” terror threat in Bali. However, authorities on Thursday tried to ease fears of an attack.” Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard was in attendance.
–
The Bali Bombing in the Kuta seaside resort resulted in more than 200 deaths, mainly Australian tourists. The bomb attack was allegedly perpetrated by an Al Qaeda affiliated organization Jemaah Islamiah.
–
To this date: the official story prevails: “Al Qaeda in south East Asia” was behind the attacks. According to the BBC latest report (October 12, 2012):
–
”…the seeds of the October 2002 Bali bombing plot are thought to have been sown in a hotel room in Thailand 10 months earlier.
–
At a secret meeting, a man known as Hambali – later dubbed “South East Asia’s Bin Laden” – is believed to have ordered a new strategy of hitting soft targets, such as nightclubs and bars rather than high-profile sites such as foreign embassies. But it was not until August 2002 that the target was chosen.
–
Who was Behind Jemaah Islamiah?
Both the US and Australian police and intelligence authorities involved in the 2002 Bali investigation turned a blind eye on the links between Indonesian Intelligence (BIN) and Jemaah Islamiah (JI), which allegedly was behind the bombings. BIN was in fact involved in the October 2002 investigation together with its US and Australian counterrparts.
–
The bomb attack was allegedly perpetrated by Jemaah Islamiah, a group, which operates in several countries in South East Asia. Press reports and official statements at the time pointed to close ties between Jemaah Islamiah (JI) and Al Qaeda. The JI’s “operational leader” was Riduan Isamuddin, alias Hambali, a veteran of the Soviet-Afghan war, who was trained in Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to a report by UPI:
–
“The [Soviet-Afghan] war provided opportunities for key figures of these groups, who went to Afghanistan, to experience first hand the glory of jihad. Many of the radicals detained in Singapore and Malaysia derived their ideological inspiration from the activities of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and Pakistan”
–
The training of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and Pakistan was a CIA sponsored initiative launched in 1979, using Pakistan’s military intelligence (ISI). as a go-between. Jemaah Islamiah (JI), an alleged affiliate of Al Qaeda was a product of this CIA sponsored project.
–
JI’s links to Indonesia’s Military Intelligence
There were indications, that in addition to its alleged links to Al Qaeda, Jemaah Islamiah had links to Indonesia’s military intelligence, which in turn has ties to the CIA and Australian intelligence. The links between JI and Indonesia’s Intelligence Agency (BIN) were acknowledged in a 2003 report by the International Crisis Group (ICG):
–
“This link [of JI to the BIN] needs to be explored more fully: it does not necessarily mean that military intelligence was working with JI, but it does raise a question about the extent to which it knew or could have found out more about JI than it has acknowledged.” 1 (International Crisis Group, http://www.crisisweb.org/projects/showreport.cfm?reportid=845 , 2003)
–
It should be emphasized that Indonesia’s intelligence apparatus (BIN) during a period of more than 30 years was controlled by the CIA.
–
In the wake of the October 2002 Bali bombing, a contradictory report emanating from Indonesia’s top brass, pointed to the involvement of both the head of Indonesian intelligence General A. M. Hendropriyono as well as the CIA:
–
“The agency and its director, Gen. A. M. Hendropriyono, are well regarded by the United States and other governments. But there are still senior intelligence officers here who believe that the C.I.A. was behind the bombing.”2
–
In response to these statements, the Bush Administration demanded that President Megawati Sukarnoputri, publicly refute the involvement of the U.S in the attacks. No official retraction was issued. Not only did President Megawati (the daughter of Sukarno) remain silent on this matter, she also accused the US of being:
–
“a superpower that forced the rest of the world to go along with it… We see how ambition to conquer other nations has led to a situation where there is no more peace unless the whole world is complying with the will of the one with the power and strength.” 3
–
Meanwhile, the Bush Administration used the Bali attacks to prop up its fear campaign:
–
“President Bush said Monday that he assumes al-Qaeda was responsible for the deadly bombing in Indonesia and that he is worried about fresh attacks on the United States.” 4
–
The news [regarding the Bali attack] came as US intelligence officials warned that more attacks like the Indonesian bombing can be expected in the next few months, in Europe, the Far East or the US.”5
–
Foreknowledge of the Bombings?
The links of JI to the Indonesian intelligence agency were never raised in the official Indonesian government investigation -which was guided behind the scenes by Australian intelligence and the CIA.
–
Moreover, shortly after the bombing, Australian Prime Minister John Howard “admitted that the Australian authorities had been warned about possible attacks in Bali but chose not to issue a warning.”6 Also In the wake of the bombings, the Australian government chose to work with Indonesia’s Special Forces the Kopassus, in the so-called “war on terrorism”.
–
Australia: “Useful Wave of Indignation”
Reminiscent of Operation Northwoods, the Bali attack served to trigger “a useful wave of indignation.”7 It contributed to swaying Australian public opinion in favor of the US invasion of Iraq, while weakening the anti-war protest movement. In the wake of the Bali attack, the Australian government “officially” joined the US-led “war on terrorism.” The Bali bombings were used by the Australian government as a pretext to fully integrate the US-UK military axis as well adopt drastic police measures including “ethnic profiling” directed against its own citizens:
–
Prime Minister John Howard made the extraordinary declaration recently [2002] that he is prepared to make pre-emptive military strikes against terrorists in neighbouring Asian countries planning to attack Australia. Australian intelligence agencies also are very worried about the likelihood of an al-Qaeda attack using nuclear weapons.8

Statement of Former President Abdurrahman Wahid. Possible Involvement of Indonesian Military and Police
In 2005, another important development emerged, which casts doubt on the official Indonesian- US-Australian police narrative.
–
In an interview with Australia’s SBS Public TV network, the former President of Indonesia Abdurrahman Wahid, pointed to the possible involvement of the Indonesian Military and Police.9 (SBS DATELINE Archive – October 12, 2005)
–
The statements of the former head of State of Indonesia, based on inside knowledge and factual information, were never acknowledged by the Western and Australian media, nor were they taken into account by the police investigators.
–
Aired on SBS TV in October 2005. the transcript of the interview was immediately removed from the website of Australia’s Special Broadcasting Services TV. Global Research received a copy of the complete transcript a couple of days prior to its removal.
