They seek him here, They seek him there,
Those yankees seek him everywhere!
Is he in Heaven? Is he in Hell?
Only CNN will tell!

Osama, it seems has been hiding in plain sight all this time. The current wave of bombings in London make this plain.

He is not one man, but many. He can fly, he speaks many languages and resonates in many cultures, but as a man of the people he still catches the London Tube.

I take some reports from The Australian.

  • An almost eye witness, 61-year-old project manager Richard Jones, blames a man who “looked foreign” and “kept bending over into this bag”. Though he got off the bus before the explosion and has no real idea who planted the bomb. A foreign-looking youth with a backpack is racist, its a smear, its fear-mongering and iths without basis.
  • Now there’s an imaginatively named “Al-Qaida in Europe” who’ve taken responsibility for the bombings.
  • But they were previously unknown! Imagine that. Maybe its because they didn’t exist?
  • Security analysts seem to all have the same opinion on who could’ve caused the bombings. Yet their opinions aren’t based in any evidence at all.
  • The smartest man in Europe, Sebestyab Gorka (a security analyst) says: “The first thing that’s very obvious is the synchronised nature of the attacks, and that’s pretty classic for al-Qa’ida or al-Qa’ida-related organisations,”. I’m no genius like Gorka, but every man and dog have access to knowledge of the kind ‘8 bombs are better than one’, and the ‘classic’ signatures might not be as simple as ’simulataneous bombings’. Also note that he claims that an “al-Qa’ida-related organisation” is responsible - it appears he is using al-Qaida as a shorthand for ‘”terrorist”.
  • The second smartest man in Europe, Rolf Tophoven, said “There are lots of parallels with the Madrid blast … We have to assume it’s a terrorist attack,”. He did decline to expand upon what the parallels were. I guess its above our heads.
