7/7: Blitz on Britain: WEB WARNING

A terror analyst has revealed how she warned US intelligence chiefs after finding a diagram of a London bus and underground train networks on an al-Qaeda-linked website SIX MONTHS before the capital was bombed.

Islamic hate sites expert Laura Mansfield made the shock discovery and immediately alerted American security agencies.

Yesterday she told how she also discovered another terrorist website showing how to turn a PEN into a deadly bomb.

Ms Mansfield, associate director of independent terror analysts The North East Intelligence Network, said she was sure that there would be an attack on a transport system because of monitored conversations between Islamic extremists.

Now she has no doubt that the drawings and messages were from al- Qaeda members planning the devastating attack on London. She told The Sunday Mirror yesterday: "We have seen indications that people were talking about something coming up in the West but we didn't know where. I was thinking it could be something in the US as we have seen drawings a couple of weeks ago of what were probably US subways - but they could have been of another country."

There were also messages about transport networks and she believes the bombers were discussing the planned atrocities over the net.

She said: "There was a picture of a London double-decker bus six months ago, but we didn't know what it was about. You feel them moving towards something from their conversations, but you can't tell what.

"After what happened in London it certainly looks like these messages and images were all part of the organisation of the attack." She immediately passed on the information to America's Joint Terrorism Task Force. A No 30 double-decker bus had its roof blown off in Tavistock Square during Thursday's four-pronged Tube and bus terror attacks.

Ms Mansfield has 20 years of experience in Middle East issues and worked for the North East Intelligence Network for seven years. She believes that Osama bin Laden or his deputy Ayman al-Zawahri gave a direct order for the attacks.

She said: "A year ago we analysed Zawahri's messages and noticed the position of his gun was possibly giving messages to cells. If the gun sight was alongside his body an attack followed within 14 days. If it was positioned away an attack never happened.

"We thought an attack was possible because of the chat on the Jihad message boards and the upsurge in al-Qaeda press releases. Two weeks ago Zawahri sent a video message, gun at his side, and this attack was carried out."

Since 2001 al-Zawahri has been the world's second most-wanted terrorist after bin Laden. In the video he said: "The removal of the Crusader and Jewish invaders won't occur by peaceful demonstrations. Reform and expelling the invaders won't happen except through fighting for God's sake. We cannot imagine any reform while our countries are occupied by Crusader forces."

Ms Mansfield said bin Laden's video message last year to "bomb" the west's cities could have been the order for London.

"Al-Qaeda work on a different timescale to us. A video message six months ago may not be acted upon, but once the order is received the cell will act when the time is right."

She said that last year bin Laden told his terror chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi not to restrict his operations to Iraq.

Ms Mansfield, who translates Arabic terror website message postings, added: "It is possible that the cell in London took this as a direct order from bin Laden to attack."

Another possibility is that British Muslim fighters returning from Iraq could have passed on a direct order. "We know there were British people going to Iraq to participate in jihad (holy war)... some of these may have returned from Iraq and may have been a part of the attack on London.

"Jihadis from all over the world are going to Iraq for a time before returning home. They go to Iraq, receive training, then are sent back to Europe to be used for future activities.

"There are indications that they're being used as messengers to bring back orders."

The reaction to the atrocities on the websites - where up to 20,000 people post messages - has been one of sickening joy.

She said: "There are a few people who are saying that this shouldn't have happened, but overwhelmingly people are jumping for joy and saying it was a great thing."

Another terrorist website provides detailed guidance for would- be suicide bombers on how to turn an ordinary pen into a deadly bomb using materials from hardware stores.

Laura Mansfield said: "This one is pretty terrifying as it gives you a step-by-step guide.

Laura Mansfield - liar, disinformationalist and Zionist propagandist

According to 'terror analyst' and 'Islamic hate sites expert', Laura Mansfield, Al-Qaeda are smart enough to plan, organise and successfully execute an attack on the London underground but dumb enough to give her six month's advance notice. Mansfield claims that she made the 'shock discovery' of a 'a diagram of a London bus and underground train networks on a website 'linked to Al-Qaeda'. Duly concerned by her shocking discovery, she claims she "immediately alerted US intelligence chiefs."

If her claim is true, then US intelligence must therefore have had advance knownledge of the threat to the London underground. It is self-evident that Mansfield's warning was not forwarded to British intelligence as officials say that there was "no chatter or other sign of an impending attack." The Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, obviously agrees with the assessment made by MI5. Clarke is on the record as saying that the attack "came out of the blue."

Laura Mansfield claims to have located an Al-Qaeda website, discovered diagrams relating to a possible terror attack on the London underground, and to have monitored communications between Al-Qaeda operatives. She deduces that the 'chatter' taking place between these 'Islamic extremists' was indicative of a forthcoming attack on a transport system. She believes that the conversations she monitored are indicative of Islamic extremists "discussing the planned atrocities over the net." She initially believed that the 'planned atrocities' were scheduled to take place on American soil but in the light of what happened in London, Mansfield now postulates that, "it certainly looks like these messages and images were all part of the organisation of the attack."

"We thought an attack was possible because of the chat on the Jihad message boards and the upsurge in al-Qaeda press releases," she told Justin Penrose of the Sunday Mirror. Strange then, that British intelligence say they were surprised by the attack. The British secret service did not hear the 'chatter' that Mansfield claims to have been privvy to. Indeed, the security threat had been lowered the previous month, and  a top-secret report drafted by the Joint Terrorist Analysis Centre in June, stated: "at present there is not a group with both the current intent and the capability to attack the UK".

Mansfield somehow feels that the position of Ayman al-Zawahri's gun in relation to his body is also of great significance. She drew this conclusion after analysing Zawahri's messages: "if the gun sight was alongside his body an attack followed within 14 days. If it was positioned away an attack never happened." "Two weeks ago Zawahri sent a video message, gun at his side, and this attack was carried out." She is not certain of the relevance of the position of al-Zawahri's gun though, as she also contends that the order to bomb London may have emanated from a subliminal message contained in a video purportedly made last year by Osama bin Laden.

"It is possible that the cell in London took this as a direct order from bin Laden to attack," she theorises. Mansfield later suggests that "British Muslim fighters returning from Iraq could have passed on a direct order." These 'British Muslim fighters', according to Mansfield, "go to Iraq, receive training, before being sent back to Europe to be used for future activities." In the eyes of Laura Mansfield, Islamic terrorists from all over the world can enter and leave Iraq at will. In her view, the battlefields of Iraq are but a training camp for free-moving, globe-trotting apprentice Jihadis. This woman hasn't got a clue. This is confirmed by what she wrote on the day that British police murdered an innocent man in cold blood.

Laura Mansfield delivers a sermon to Christian Zionists

Laura Mansfield is an incredibly talented and resourceful woman. Not only is she a 'terror analyst' and an 'Islamic hate sites expert', she is also, according to details posted on the website of the 'independent' Northeast Intelligence Network, fluent in written and spoken Arabic, and has an excellent understanding of the complex cultural, religious, and historical issues. Mansfield's talents do not end here. She also claims to specialise in web design and development, and internet security, and to to be "proficient in a variety of programming languages."

Mansfield further claims to be a certified 'Bloodstain Pattern Analyst', and a member of the Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts - IABPA. Mansfield says that she received her certification from 'the Laboratory of Forensic Science.' A Google search of 'laboratory of forensic science' shows that there exists no single such entity. Indeed, our search generated five-hundred and fifty-five seperate listings. The FBI, InterPol, State police departments, and universities all have a 'laboratory of forensic science'. Mansfield, however, obtained her certification from the Laboratory of Forensic Science in Corning, New York but does not say which level of membership she holds. In any event, Mansfield's claim of being a certified 'Bloodstain Pattern Analyst' does not hold any particular significance. Membership details found on the International association of bloodstain pattern analysts' website, state that there are four levels of membership:

1. Associate: This category enlists members who have not completed a 40-hour basic bloodstain pattern analysis course but who desire to become a member of the IABPA for general interests.

2. Provisional: This level of membership is for those who have completed a 40-hour basic bloodstain pattern analysis course - content defied by IABPA education committee guidelines - and who has been recommended by a full-member.

3. Full: Full membership is open to a member who has held the position of provisional member for at least one year and who has been recommended based upon efforts in the field of study of bloodstain pattern analysis.

4. Distinguished: Members who have rendered a significant service to the discipline and/or the association, and who has been awarded the designation by his peers.

Mansfield further claims that she spent almost seven years living and working in the middle-east. During her residence there, she says that she worked for a "wide range of clients." These clients include the United States Embassy, the United States Agency for International Development, and various unamed international corporate entities. One assumes that the location of her posting with the US Embassy was Lebanon, as she says that she "was active in the embassy warden system, acting as a liaison between the Embassy security office and her employer during the days of the Beirut hijacking."

It can be concluded from Mansfield's statements that her appointment to the US Embassy came early in her career as there were only two instances of 'hijackings' in Beruit. The first took place on 3rd December, 1984, and the second on 14th June, 1985. Mansfield claims to have "20 years of experience dealing with issues pertaining to the Middle East." For ten of those years, her income was boosted from consultancies for "a variety of Fortune 100 clients." She continues to this day with consultancies to her corporate clients. Not only does she act as a consultant to 'Fortune 100 clients', she also sells 'Arabic Monitoring and Translation Services' from her website to government, corporate and individual clients. Her translations are also offered for sale for 'educational' purposes.

Given that Mansfield is an 'expert' on 'Islamic hate sites', and is "fluent in spoken and written Arabic," we could have expected her to spot the error contained in the message posted on 'Al-Qaeda linked' website by the previously unknown "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe." She would also have understood that this message does NOT admit responsibility for the attacks - it praises them.

MSNBC TV translator Jacob Keryakes noted an error in one of the Quranic verses that the message cited. "This is not something al-Qaida would do," he said. "That suggests that the claim may be phony." Considering that the server hosting the message was traced to Austin, Texas, and that the proprietors have connections to the Bush family, one wonders why Mansfield omits this inconvenient fact from the story she gave to the Sunday Mirror.

Take a look at the photographs below. The first is from MSNBC's website, and the second from the Northeast Intelligence Network's site.

These two images are one and the same. Jacob Keryakes spotted the error contained in each but Laura Mansfield completely missed it. For someone who professes to be 'fluent in spoken and written Arabic', this is a serious error indeed. Mansfield's credibility as a translator is now called into question.

An article written by Mansfield and posted on the 'World Net Daily' website on 16th March, 2004 sees her launch a blistering tirade against the Spanish electorate. She attacks the Spanish for electing a government that pledged to withdraw its troops from Iraq if elected. She rants of how the Spanish have appeased Al-Qaeda by showing them that they can influence elections. Mansfield tells them that they have, "just guaranteed that the United States will sustain a mass-casualty terrorist action on our soil before our November elections. After all, maybe we too can be frightened into a policy of isolationalism. You probably also doomed Tony Blair's government in England to the same fate. How many will die in terror attacks in the United States and England in order for the terrorists to try and intimidate us?"

History shows that the Spanish electorate's 'guarantee' of a 'a mass-casualty terrorist action' on American soil prior to the Presidential election turned-out to be dud. History also shows that the evil Islamic terrorists decided to wait until Blair was re-elected before unleashing their bombs on the London underground. Clearly, Al-Qaeda did not seek to influence either the American or British elections, and Osama bin Laden seems perfectly happy to have Bush and Blair in office. Mansfield, despite her proclaimed 'expertise', isn't very good at making predictions regarding Al-Qaeda's modus-operandi yet here she is telling the Sunday Mirror how clever she is in predicting the London attacks six months before they happened. Mansfield is, however, a distinguished expert in two fields: spreading disinformation and telling lies.

The Northeast Intelligence Network is an interesting organisation. The 'Sunday Mirror' quotes them as being 'independent' but our investigation suggests completely the opposite. Their mission statement says "although we are not related to or endorsed by any government agency, we interact with the applicable law enforcement agencies on a regular basis." An article posted on their site on 26th October, 2004 claims that the United States Department of Defense - using 'smart-filter' Internet content blocking - blocked all access to their website, labeling the site as "extreme." They planned to make a formal appeal to the Bush administration and the Department of Defense for their assistance and intervention "so the members of our military can again access our information."

It would appear that Bush and Rumsfeld granted the appeal as our investigators encountered no problems in accessing the extreme articles published on the site. How the Sunday Mirror can portray this organisation as 'independent' beggars belief. It is anything but. Examination of the material posted on Northeast Intelligence Network's website will reveal that these people are most definitely not 'independent'.

On the contrary, it can be seen that they are anti-Islamic, pro-Israeli, pro-US, and pro-Bush, and at this point, questions have to be asked regarding the credentials of the Sunday Mirror reporter, Justin Penrose, who broke the story. Let us extend him the benefit of the doubt. Let us assume that he made a fundamental journalistic error in believing all that Laura Mansfield told him regarding the London bombing without checking his source. I extend Penrose this courtesy because if he did actually check his source, he too would have discovered what our researchers discovered - numerous examples of disgusting propaganda that borders on pure and unadulterated hatred of Muslims.

I have seven questions that I would like Justin Penrose to answer:

1. Did you or did you not authenticate the information that Laura Mansfield passed to you?

2. Have you or have you not ever visited the Northeast Intelligence Network's website?

3. Did you establish contact with Laura Mansfield after the London bombings or did she contact you?

4. When did discussions between Mansfield and yourself take place? On the actual day of the attack or the day after?

4. Have you ever had any previous dealings with Laura Mansfield or the Northeast Intelligence Network?

5. How did you conduct the interview with Mansfield? Was the interview conducted in person, by telephone, by e-mail or via instant messenger/video conference or was your story based on a 'press-release' from the Northeast Intelligence Network?

6. Are you connected in any way to British or overseas pro-Israel groups?

7. In the light of my investigation, are you now prepared to retract your statement that the Northeast Intelligence Network are independent, and publish a correction?

The Northeast Intelligence Network is run by an odious individual by the name of Douglas J. Hagmann who is the founder and director of the organisation. Hagmann is assisted by 'analyst and associate director' Sean Osborne; 'analyst and associate director' Laura Mansfield; Investigative Analyst Randy Taylor and Ryan Mauro. Although 'kid-prodigy' Mauro is not given any official titles, I feel that propagandist and disinformationalist would be more apt descriptions of his role.

Let's now take a closer look at Laura Mansfield's associates, We'll begin with the 'Mr. Big' of the Northeast Intelligence Network's operation, Douglas Hagmann.

Douglas Hagmann - Islamophobic propagandist and Zionist disinformationalist

Douglas Jack Hagmann operates a private investigation agency under the name of 'Hagmann Investigative Services Inc.' from 5148 Peach Street, Erie, Pennsylvania 16509. Hagmann Investigative Services, Inc. is linked from the website of the Northeast Intelligence Agency but activating the link returns you to the same page. In the 'Infoguys' PI directory, Hagmann Investigative Services Inc. is advertised as a "multi-state licensed investigative agency" that specialises in investigating fraudulent insurance claims, and in conducting "surveillance operations". Although firm's website is listed in the 'Infoguys' directory, this website does not actually exist.

Hagmann is also listed as a 'team member' of 'The Missing KIN Investigative Network'. The listing on the MissingKin website states that Hagmann Investigative Services Inc. has, since 1985, specialised in covert surveillance operations for the business, legal and insurance industries throughout New York and Pennsylvania. The listing also states that, like his colleague Laura Mansfield, Hagmann is another who is certified in Bloodstain Pattern Analysis by the Laboratory of Forensic Science in Corning, NY. There are links to two websites posted directly underneath his listing. The first link is for 'hagmannpi.com', and the second for 'BloodstainEvidence.com'. Both of these websites turn out to be search-engines. Hagmann Investigative Services Inc. does not exist on the Internet.

Hagmann is the author of a manual called 'Tactical Surveillance'. This manual is published by Tactical Publications, PO Box 9534, Erie, Pennsylvania 16505-8534. This address is similar to the address that Hagmann Investigative Services Inc. operate from. For an outlay of $29.95, Hagmann will pass you his expertise of surveillance gained from 32,000 hours 'in the field' over 18 years. For another $29, he will sell you a hooded top with 'Infidel Inside' splattered across the front. I assume that the 'field' experience Hagmann derived from his 18 years of snooping was gained in the 1980's and 1990's.

The Northeast Intelligence Network - Islamophobia inside

Hagmann also publishes the HQ Intel-Alert Newsletter via his Northeast Intelligence Network website. An annual subscription of $99 will buy you information that is: "positively not available anywhere else and is too sensitive to be published on any website." Wow! Where do I sign-up? Do you accept payment in Dinars, Rials or Syrian Pounds? Do you have any snake-oil or bridges for sale too?

Douglas J. Hagmann, like his co-disinformationist, Laura Mansfield, is multi-talented. Apart from being a private detective, bloodstain pattern analyst, surveillance expert, intelligence analyst, author, and salesman, Hagmann is also conversant with fire-fighting techniques. Jack of all trades indeed, and past master in the ancient art of bovine excrement.

Hagmann states in an article published on the Northeast Intelligence Network's website that he worked with the Pennsylvania fire department during the late 1970's. In article published on his website on 2nd June 2005, he reminisces of the good old days when all the fire-fighters in Pennsylvania got along just fine and never argued. No true firefighter would grow a beard for they knew that it would compromise their safety as well as the safety of their brethren. Common sense held sway over religious considerations. How the times have changed though. Philadelphia firefighter Curtis DeVeaux is a Muslim who joined the Philladelphia fire fighting department in 2003. When he enlisted he agreed to shave his beard off, reports Hagmann. As DeVeaux's faith strengthened, however, he changed his mind and re-grew his beard. In what Hagmann calls "a stroke of apparent judicial insanity," Judge Joseph A. Dych upheld DeVeaux's right to sport a beard. Quite why an 'intelligence' website would want to publish such an irrelevant story is open to question. Could it be that Hagmann and his associates have a hidden agenda - and hidden paymasters?

From being a fire-fighter, Hagmann is now a fire-starter. He begins to show his true colours in an article that he wrote for a right-wing pro-Israel website called 'Think Israel' , he contends that, "those in disagreement with jihad as meaning a holy war are themselves apostates to their religion. They are the infidels who are perverting Islam, not those who engage in the armed struggle. Perhaps this is the reason so many so-called "moderate Muslims" have been silent on condemning the terrorists in acting in violation of the principals of the religion of Islam." Hagmann is apparently deaf and blind to the condemnations of the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks made by the American and British Muslim communities. This comes as no great surprise because the more one learns about Douglas J. Hagmann, the more one realises that this man is no great lover of Muslims. Indeed, Hagmann is clearly Islamophobic - anti-Semitic, some would say.

In an article posted on the BBC's website on 12th October, 2004, titled 'Who Watches Murder Videos?', Hagmann tells the BBC that,"the videos have been downloaded from his site on more than one million occasions, with most of the visitors apparently coming from the US, Canada and the UK." Hagmann is referring to the video of Liverpool man Ken Bigley's beheading. Hagmann says that he made the decision to host the video on his website because he felt that the media "was sanitising the issue." Reading of beheadings, and being told of them on TV is not enough for the firefighter turned private investigator turned intelligence analyst turned gory execution-video promoter.

Hagmann evidently believes that the majority of people in the US and the UK do not know how vile and vicious the barbarians who decapitate people are. Well, Mr. Hagmann, I have news for you. Some of us are already very familiar with how the CIA operate and just how brutal they can be.

In our uneducated state, Hagmann contends that we need to watch the beheading videos that he hosts on his website so that we may come to understand just how horrific these acts are. Our imaginations are not enough, we need to see it with her own eyes. Hagmann's distorted logic implies that we would need to watch child porn videos to understand how evil a practice pedophilia is, and how sick, twisted and evil the pedophile is. Can Hagmann offer an explanation as to how he knows precisely where to locate 'terrorist videos'? How did he become privvy to the locations of these 'Islamic' websites?

The video pictured above is/was available on the Northeast Intelligence Network website, but is credited to Ogrish.Com. This video contains images of some of the victims of the London bombings accompanied by a soundtrack of Islamic music, and appears to contain images filmed at the scene of one of the underground explosions. Underneath the link for the video there appears an article dated 13th July that lists the names of those suspected by the authorities as having carried-out the attacks.

Equally subtle is the link that appears about a quarter of the way down the right-hand side of Northeast Intelligence Network's homepage. 'Northeast Intelligence Network Now Listed on NATO Site', it proudly proclaims. Clicking the link transports you to another page where you are greeted with the same headline as before - 'Northeast Intelligence Network Now Listed on NATO Site'. You are also told that: "The Northeast Intelligence Network is honored to be listed with such intelligence organizations such as the CIA, NSA and a host of government and industry giants." And with this revelation, you really start to see the kind of company that Hagmann and his associate Laura Mansfield keep, or purport to keep.

One could be forgiven if one were to believe that activating the link at the bottom of this page would transfer you to the official NATO website. Like almost everything published on this site, it is not quite the truth. You are taken to a site called 'DTIN' - Defense Against Terrorism Information Node. Look at the logo located in the top left-hand corner. Now go to the official NATO site and look at their logo. Go back to 'DTIN'. These guys are subtle, aren't they? They would have you believe that they are in some way connected with NATO. They have clearly set-out to deceive. They have stolen NATO's official logo and used it on their own site. Scrolling down through the fifty-three entries, we find government agencies such as the CIA, Homeland Security, and the National Security Agency. Nestled in with these agencies, we also find the Northeast Intelligence Network. Deception is second nature to the Northeast Intelligence Network and their allies.

On the morning of the London attacks, a bulletin posted on the Northeast Intelligence Network's website claimed that: "A clarification was made by the source providing this information, noting that "one of the bombers who is believed to be involved in this attack was recently released from the prison at Guantanamo, Cuba." The source did not elaborate about how the suspect was reportedly identified so early, although it was suggested he was onboard bus 30 that exploded outside of the British Medical Association at 9:47 local time." This is remarkable 'intelligence' as none of the men identified by British police as being complicit in the bombings have ever been mentioned by British police as having been former Guantamano detainees.

So, how did Northeast Intelligence Network know that the alleged bomber of the No 30 was a former Guantamano Bay detainee, and how did they know who the bomber was? If the Northeast Intelligence Network were able to identify the No 30 bomber as someone who had once been in Guantamano Bay, then it stands to reason that they must know his identity. Who is the well-informed source of this information? Does this 'source' actually exist? Is it not more likely that this 'information' is disinformation? The latter is the more probable scenario given the update that was subsequently posted almost two and a quarter hours later. It read:

"Preliminary reports from a source inside the Pentagon indicate that one of the operatives involved in this morning's bombings in London was recently released from the prison at Guantanamo."

Just dwell on that statement for a moment. If this statement is true, then the Northeast Intelligence Network are openly admitting that they have contacts embedded within the Pentagon. If this is so, then why does Justin Penrose of the Sunday Mirror purport the Northeast Intelligence Network to be an 'independent' body? If, however, the statement is false, this would mean that Laura Mansfield, Douglas J. Hagmann, Randy Taylor et al are exposed as bare-faced liars and disinformationists.

When one considers that this same website ran a headline article immediately after the attacks - "Al-Qaeda Muslim Terrorists Behind Attacks", one is then faced with having to decide if those involved with the Northeast Intelligence Network are 'on-the-ball' intelligence analysts who apparently know more than the the official intelligence agencies themselves know, or if they are Islamophobic bigots who will sieze every opportunity to attack Islam and Muslims, and to portray both in the worst-possible light. The following example demonstrates the point.

On 12th July, the Telegraph ran a story claiming that the BBC had substituted the word 'terrorist' with 'bomber'. This they did, according to the Telegraph, because the BBC's guidelines state that its credibility is undermined by the "careless use of words which carry emotional or value judgments". This was Douglas J. Hagmann's response: "You have got to be kidding me. There are scores of dead and wounded innocent men, women and children at the hands of Islamic terrorist homicidal masters of hell and the BBC wants to avoid words that carry "value judgments. Perhaps its time for the likes of Michael Moore, Ted Turner and BBC executives to join hands and break out in a chorus of Kumbaya with Sheikh Omar bin Bakri Muhammad while rescuers finish removing the remains of those still under the rubble. Shame on you, BBC, for insulting the memories of those who were killed and their families."

The response to the Telegraph's story also invoked the wrath of Sean Osborne - 'Military Affairs & Senior Analyst for Northeast Intelligence Network. He condemns the British media as "utterly clueless," and has a double swipe at the media and British intelligence when he complains that the media coverage was "appalling as is the failure of intelligence and security apparatus to detect the plot in the first place." He continues: "I also note that there are no mainstream British media reports about what the director of Israeli intelligence, Meir Dagan has to say with respect to analysis of the explosive residue form the London subway. His explicit commentary is either dismissed, suppressed or blatantly disregarded. The Mossad’s Meir Dagan was quite explicit about the explosive being of Red Chinese manufacture by their ZDF military contractor; that the same explosive was as that used in the bombing of Mike's Place pub on the Tel Aviv boardwalk in 2003. Meir Dagan went so far as to tell us exactly where the factory is that this undetectable military purpose explosive came from, 40 miles south of Beijing." Osborne seems to think that we should rely upon the Mossad as a credible news source.

Osborne's beliefs do not square with reality. Sean Osborne is also convinced that Iraq was not only behind the 9-11 attacks but that they were also involved in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Centre and in the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. Osborne claims to have spent 25 years "serving his country." He purports to be currently attached to the US military's Program Executive Office - Command, Control, Communications Tactical (PEOC3T) within the Special Project Office (SPO). He also claims to have spent six years on active duty within the US Navy as a Cryptologic Technician. He says he was selected for ELINT school and was subsequently assigned to the Naval Security Group Activity (NSGA)in Naples, Italy where he functioned at the OWS (Operations Watch Supervisor) providing real-time intelligence to COMSUBMED, COMAIRMED and CINCUSNAVEUR.

Osborne also claims that he was a US Army contractor for the past 19 years - working for Honeywell and its spin off company, Alliant Techsystems, in the role of 'deployable field representative to the US Army Special Operations Command' (USASOC) He says that he was based at Fort Bragg. He claims further deployments with the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) to their forward operations post (SFOB-10) in Panzer Kaserne, Boeblingen, Germany - subsequently supporting all of the US Army's Special Forces Groups, including the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, and the 112th Signal battalion (Special Operations). His impressive CV also lists a four-month stint in the Mojave desert in 2002. Earlier this year, he says he was deployed to the Coalition Forces Land Command Component (CFLCC) and CJTF-7, Camp Doha, Kuwait supporting operations 'Enduring Freedom' and 'Iraqi Freedom'. He says that he is still serving as a US DoD Uniformed Services Civilian GS-12/MAJ.

Osborne, by his own words, has a long involvement with the US military and its contractor companies. Indeed, if he is to be believed, he is still on the US military's payroll. In view of Osborne's claims, we ask once again how the Sunday Mirror can credibly claim the Northeast Intelligence Network to be an independent organisation. Furthermore, why is someone who claims to be an active US serviceman allowed to use his position to  further the aims of a disinformation/propagandist website? Despite having conducted several searches, I was unable to confirm any of Osborne's military connections or credentials, and have my doubts regarding the authenticity of Osborne's claims.

Ryan Mauro - Another of the Zionists' useful idiots

Ryan Mauro is an apparently gifted young man. His intelligence career began when he was 11 years old. Foresaking computer games, DVDs, pop music and the other hobbies that one would associate with preteens, Mauro instead preferred to conduct research on the geo-political affairs of several unamed countries, and by late 2002, was head hunted by a company named 'Tactical Defense Concepts' which claims to be involved in the field of maritime-associated security. According to its website, TDC specialises in providing training to meet the security needs of maritime companies. For an outlay of $695, companies can attend a TDC seminar and learn how to defend themselves against the seaborne threats posed by Al-Qaeda and theit navy of terror.

Whatever next? Suicide frogmen? Hijacked submarines crashing into tall buildings?

Mauro recently authored a book titled 'Death to America: The Unreported Battle Of Iraq'.  In his book Mauro states his belief that "the media was unable to explain to the American people what really was going on in Iraq." Boy wonder Mauro has all the answers to the questions that the media bigwigs couldn't answer. His explanation for the non-discovery of WMDs in Iraq is that Saddam did a secret deal with Syria before the invasion, and all the weapons were transferred there. He offers no explanation as to why the US government's state-of-the-art satellites that can provide highly-detailed ground images detected no such transfer. Perhaps Saddam dug lots of tunnels under the desert. Mauro further asserts that he interviewed reporters from newspapers such as The New York Times, Boston Globe and The Guardian, although our research produced no evidence that would substantiate this claim.

Mauro is a prolific writer, and occasional speaker at 'intelligence summits' .  Mauro's website - WorldThreats.com - proudly proclaims him to be 'North America's Youngest Paid Analyst'. In an article - The Evolution of Islam: Interview with Mohamed Ibn Guadi - published on a highly-dubious website called 'Islam Daily', he asks the eminent Doctor Guadi a series of questions pertaining to Islam. Strangely, the Doctor takes a very strong pro-Israeli line regarding Palestine, arguing that:

"Arabs from the beginning have wanted all the land. They don't consider the Jews to have a historical background in this place. The Temple Mount situation is a strong example."

Mohamed Ibn Guadi is purported to be an Islamologist at Strasbourg University and a researcher in 'Semitic Philology'. He claims to have contributed articles to Figaro, Le Point and other journals. He is the Director of the Islamology Program at the French Center of Middle East Studies (AFEMO) in Toulouse. Our investigators were unable to confirm the existence of either the 'French Center of Middle East Studies' or Mohamed Ibn Guadi. Both characters, it seems, exist only in the minds of their creators. A search of Strasbourg University's 'Marc Bloch' and 'Robert Schuman' institutes failed to locate anyone called Mohamed Ibn Guadi.

It is evident that Mauro's young mind became poisoned at a very early age given the anti-Islamic, pro-Israel, pro-war, pro-Bush leanings of his writing. Ryan Mauro - like his cohorts at the Northeast Intelligence Network - is a highly-skilled perpatrator of black lies, propaganda and disinformation. His modus operandi is identical to those of his colleagues - to create anti-Islamic sentiments, to create support for the war in Iraq, to establish support for US military action against Iran and Syria, and to promote a pro-US viewpoint. Who is funding Ryan Mauro? The CIA or the Mossad?

It is my contention that Ryan Mauro, Laura Mansfield and Douglas Hagmann are not the 'honest Joes' that they would have us believe them to be. Each of these shady individuals are all inter-connected via their contacts and the publications where they post their articles. The same names keep appearing on the same sites - 'Northeast Intelligence Network', 'MilNet', 'Free Republic', 'World Net Daily', 'NewsMax' and several other known right-wing websites. Clearly, the Sunday Mirror was very wrong to imply that Laura Mansfield and the Northeast Intelligence Network are 'independent'. They are anything but.

Given that Mansfield's article appeared in the Sunday Mirror within 72 hours of the London attack, Northeast Intelligence Network were very quick off the mark to present their case. Indeed, Mansfield and Hagmann were also speaking to the San Fransisco Chronicle around the same time. The Chronicle also published an article on Sunday 10th July regarding the tube bombings. Mansfield once again tries to link Al-Zarqawi to the London attack by using precisely the same spiel that she used on Justin Penrose of the Sunday Mirror. One major shift though is that in the SFC article, Northeast Intelligence Network describe themselves as a "Pennsylvania anti-terrorism firm that tracks Web sites operated by Iraqi insurgents and their supporters." This description was omitted from the Sunday Mirror report.

Why is a mass-circulation British Sunday newspaper peddling disinformation? Why is the Sunday Mirror publishing propaganda emanating from an organisation that has proven links to extreme Zionist groups? The Sunday Mirror needs to answer these questions, explain itself, and clarify its position as a matter of urgency.
