As the Evidence of the "Plot" Thins...

Under the headline Bomb-making equipment found in Britain, AP writer Katie Fretland quotes Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, the head of the Metropolitan Police's anti-terrorism unit, as saying: "Since the 10th of August, we have found bomb-making equipment. There are chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, electrical components, documents and other items...We have also found a number of video recordings — these are sometimes referred to as martyrdom videos."

Hydrogen peroxide will not cut it. I use hydrogen peroxide on occasion for oral hygiene. My father, a PhD chemist, recommended it for that purpose. He used it himself. He also worked on the Manhattan project in the 1940's. Maybe that should make me a suspect in a bombing plot. Perhaps I inherited the bomb-making gene. Nah...I have the wrong complexion and ethnicity.

Why don't we just come out and say it? The so-called "war on terror" is nothing but the latest wave of what Norman Cohn called "Europe's inner demons." Once directed at Jews and women (accused as witches), the homocidal rage of the Euro-American has been re-directed to more a politically correct target: "uppity" brown men who have the criminal audacity to refer to God in Arabic.

I also noticed that the number of individuals charged with conspiracy (as a lawyer, I can tell you that "conspiracy" is the least substantial of any criminal accusation) is now 11 (down from the magical number 19 that was first used to create a parallel in the mind of the quiescent public with the 9/11 hijackings).

If most Muslims did not already have distinctive identifying marks (clothing, ethnicity, language), they would be made to stitch yellow crescents onto their outer-garments. We're almost to that point...
