Someone in Washington has a lot of explaining to do!
Copyright Joe Vialls. 07 August 2003
By now we have all been saturated with the standard "War on Terror" blurb
about the bombing of the Marriott Hotel in downtown Jakarta on 5 August 2003.
Speaking with a single corporate voice, the western media stated surprisingly
quickly that the bomb was the work of a lone suicide bomber working for the "
feared terrorist organization " Jemaah Islamiah, which allegedly and very
brazenly drove a Toyota van up to the front of the hotel, where the Toyota obligingly
and predictably exploded with a loud and unmistakable bang.
Warming to this incredibly inaccurate and deceitful theme, the corporate
media then ran thousands of feet of video footage showing smoke billowing out of
the hotel, people running around in circles, "experts" from three different
continents saying how evil these Muslim Jemaah Islamiah folk really are, and so
on and so on. Then in less than 48 hours we were told that the guilty bomber
was called "Asmal", who was unfortunately killed in the blast, making
embarrassing trials like those in Bali completely unnecessary in the future.
Alas, the corporate media was lying through its teeth as usual, with none of
its "facts" standing up to even the most casual of scrutiny. The first Mega
clue to the deception was the magnitude of the blast, which blew the windows
out of all 25 floors of the condominium building next door. Do you have any idea
how much overpressure in p.s.i. is needed to shatter reinforced laminated
glass more than 450 feet away from ground zero? Adding to this huge problem was
the reinforced concrete slab roof of the hotel lobby, through which the shock
wave first had to travel before it could even begin to affect the tall
condominium building. Check out the approximate blast vector shown in the center
photograph below.
The second Mega clue was the crater, or rather the lack of one. Though I
searched diligently this proved impossible to find on the western corporate video
footage, but I was finally sent a picture by a contact in Indonesia. Now then
people, remember the corporate media has told you that the "Toyota Van" was
parked in the driveway outside the front of the Marriott hotel, meaning that
the media bomb must have generated a surface blast, which is incapable of
digging any crater at all because the shock wave always takes the line of least
resistance, i.e. to atmosphere. Remember also that the only bombs which make
craters are pointy ones dropped at high velocity from aircraft, or those located
underground in advance of [remote] detonations.
It is here that we bump into our most monstrous problem, and also uncover the
explanation of why no aerial photographs of the Marriott Hotel have managed
to find their way into your living room. The explosion was not in the driveway
outside the hotel, but inside the lobby itself, as shown in the photographs
below. Worse still, the explosion actually occurred BELOW the lobby in the
hotel basement, proved by the emergency services worker climbing down a ladder in
the crater to get closer to ground zero. Also note the unmistakable pattern of
the glass shattering outwards, away from the interior of the hotel lobby.
Believe me when I say that this was a weapon of staggering power, with an
awesome shock wave to match. First the shock wave had to burst up through the 24"
reinforced concrete floor of the lobby, then retain enough power to continue
upwards and punch and even bigger hole through the 12" reinforced concrete
lobby roof. Even after doing all of that work, the shock wave was still
travelling fast enough to trash all of the reinforced laminated windows in the
25-floor condominium building next door to the hotel.
Within hours the Australian Federal Police were on the scene, reporting that
the bomb was made of the same puny materials alleged to have killed more than
200 people in Bali on 12 October 2002. So there we were again, with Australian
"experts" claiming that pathetically slow potassium chlorate detergent had
just behaved like a sophisticated American bunker-busting micro nuke. Obviously
puny potassium chlorate can do no such thing, and those who want a detailed
description of this low explosive should click on the "Bali Bomb" link at the
bottom of this page.
Most dangerous for the American Administration are rational and verifiable
claims that the US Embassy and others in Indonesia had advance knowledge of the
explosion, and took avoidance measures. Sky News has a man in Jakarta who
interviewed hotel senior management, then reported, "Hotel bosses said staff and
guests had been evacuated before the blast, which happened during the busy
lunch hour". Though they managed to evacuate the hotel and main areas, there was
no time for the restaurant, where many of the fatalities occurred. This claim
has been verified by Indonesian television, but was not even mentioned by the
western corporate media. Why not?
Certainly the timely evacuation explains the apparent miracle that no
American, British or Australian politicians or officials died or were even injured in
the Marriott Hotel, which is situated at the very heart of the diplomatic
district in Jakarta. The Marriott opened in September 2001 and is the five-star
hotel of choice for western diplomats and others snuffling around in the
taxpayer-funded trough, yet not one of them received so much as a simple scratch.
Unbelievable!
The corporate media appeared to be worried that someone somewhere might
notice this glaring discrepancy, so paraded a couple of "Australian businessmen"
who had been "in their hotel rooms when the bomb exploded", thereby
immediately covering up the reality of the early evacuation by senior management. One of
these witnesses claimed to have been hurled right across his hotel room by
the blast, though his appearance said exactly the opposite: Snowy white T shirt
with not a mark on it, combed hair with no dust or glass fragments marring its
perfect appearance, and not a single scratch anywhere on his body. Naturally
enough, the flying glass alone should have turned him into a ragged and blood
soaked mess.
Let us hope that these two immaculate Australians were simply Walter Mitty
types merely trying to get their "15 seconds of glory" on television, rather
than something infinitely more sinister. Nor are they the only Australians who
need to be quietly investigated, or so it seems. On Wednesday morning
Australian Prime Minister John Howard was visiting an aboriginal site up on Cape York,
which is as remote a place in Australia you can manage to get, with
communications stretching only to a simple phone link with the National Capital in
Canberra.
Despite this obvious and severe information drawback, Prime Minister Howard
came out with an extraordinary and seemingly impossible statement when talking
live on ABC Radio. Referring to the blast which occurred only late the day
before, Howard said, "Most of the people who died yesterday were probably taxi
drivers and restaurant employees, people on very low incomes trying to make a
living to support their families."
In the view of this author, when you are isolated on Cape York without access
to detailed information, you would say "hotel employees" because it was a
hotel that was bombed. You would only say "restaurant employees" if you already
knew that the hotel had been evacuated in advance of the explosion, with most
of the casualties occurring in the [separately managed] restaurant.
Prime Minister Howard is free to say what he wants, of course, always
providing that what he says does not wittingly mislead the Australian public, because
that is a crime under Australian law. Let us be generous and assume that the
Australian Department of Foreign Affairs was directly responsible, and simply
told John Howard about the hotel evacuation on the telephone, thereby making
him aware of the restaurant situation.
No problem there, but why did Howard then go on during the same radio
interview to claim, "The type of attack carries the hallmarks of Jemaah Islamiah (JI)
but as yet we don't have direct proof..." Forewarned about the evacuation of
the hotel, Howard would have been painfully aware that Jemaah Islamiah had
absolutely nothing to do with the attack, so on whose orders was Howard
deliberately vilifying the Muslim organization? And why did Howard not pass on the
critical evacuation information to the Australian public?
America´s credibility problems with this vicious bombing do not end there.
Detik.com, a respectable Indonesia media outlet has claimed that the US
Embassy cancelled a major booking at the Marriott Hotel only 4.5 hours before the
weapon exploded. This translation to English is credited to
WhatReallyHappened.com:
"There was something interesting happened just hours before the explosion
shocked the JW Marriott Hotel, Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta. The US Embassy
cancelled the booking of 10-20 rooms in that hotel. The cancellation was on 8.00
West Indonesian Time, Tuesday, or only 4.5 hours before the explosion.
"This information is from employee of Marriott Hotel who refused to be
identified. He explained that the booking was made several days ago. The US
Embassy's guests were planned to stay for 3 days. And the ceremony was planned on
Wednesday. For information, when there was the explosion, the security of US
Embassy directly came to the Marriott Hotel in Mega Kuningan. JW Marriott Hotel is
known to be used frequently by US Embassy. On 4 July 2003, the Independent Day
of US was celebrated on this hotel. Last year, it was also celebrated there."
Though I am still waiting for independent verification of Detik´s claim, it
is entirely consistent with the known behavior and deception used by the media
where the evacuation of the hotel is concerned, which "spared" the lives of
American, British, and Australian politicians and officials.
There is the obvious question of why the US Embassy would bother to cancel a
ceremony planned for the Wednesday if America intended to bomb the hotel one
day earlier on the Tuesday. Logic initially dictates there would be no need
because the guests would obviously not enter a bombed and burning hotel on
Wednesday. It seems certain that the booking was cancelled because of the 10-20
rooms, which were due to be checked into on Tuesday, the day of the bombing
itself.
Identifying the villains responsible for covert operations of this kind,
always boils down to "who benefits?" Clearly with only Muslin dead in an
Indonesian hotel, neither the Muslims or Indonesians benefit at all, especially as the
bombing was arranged to coincide with the trials of Abu Bakar Bashir and
Amrozi, thus hopefully driving more hatred against the Muslim community in
general.
The methods used in the bombing limit the possible candidates, and no known
Muslim organization has access to advanced weapons like these. The only people
to benefit are those Americans and/or Israelis driving the false "War on
Terror" campaign in their pathetic attempts to retain political power and control,
regardless of who has to be murdered to achieve these deranged objectives.
