BLACKBURN SOCIAL 18th December 2005

Heritage and Destiny hosted the last planned activity of the year with a great Yuletide social in Blackburn on Sunday 18th December. Around fifty White Nationalists gathered in a local Blackburn Pub for the afternoon get together. Members of the BPP, BNP, Wolf's Hook Brotherhood and the NF tucked into a superb buffet and listened to the all-White music of the all-White DJ. Two stalls provided a wide selection of literature - one by H&D and one by the BPP.
Both stalls did a great trade. From the BPP angle, a lot of Vanguards and Imperiums were sold as well as badges and support merchandise. Many application forms for membership were taken too.
Considering that it is Christmas week it was a respectable turn out. The (now!) traditional Yuletide Quiz was hosted by Eddy Morrison, National Organiser of the BPP and was won by the Wolf's Hook team who scored nineteen points from the 25 questions. They got a team prize of a DVD trilogy of John Tyndall's speeches in New Orleans in 2004.
The quiz was followed by an Auction for BPP funds and some classic items went up for grabs raising a good amount towards BPP funds.
A grand raffle with stacks of prizes rounded off the afternoon and with expressions of Yuletide greetings all around, the atmosphere was relaxed and showed once again how British Nationalist can achieve unity of sense and purpose.
Many thanks from the BPP to Mark and his team from Heritage and Destiny for a great afternoon.

There was one sad note. Many recalled that one year ago at the same venue, our Leader, John Tyndall was present and took part in the event. He was arrested following that event by the Race Police who had been monitoring it. Subsequently he was charged under the dreadful and anti-White Race Acts. John died in July this year and he was sorely missed by all at the social, just as he is sorely missed in the greater fight throughout the Nationalist Movement in Great Britain.

 

MI5 and London Bombers Revisited – the circle narrows

By: Rob McNeil

(Editor, Imperium Magazine / Leeds BPP - Putting Britons First)

E-mail: imperiumedit@ntlworld,com; chiel14_05@yahoo.com

As if guided by Imperium Magazine’s recent call for an honest accounting    by MI5 and MI6 of what those agencies knew about the London bombers before the July 2005 terrorist outrages, the Independent newspaper has this weekend revealed that Leeds-born  Shahzad Tanweer, the Aldgate bomber, is believed also to have been under investigation by MI5 in 2004.

Tanweer, wrote Independent Crime Correspondent, Jason Bennetto, ‘is believed to have been indirectly linked to an alleged plot to build a bomb in 2004’ but was placed under only ‘routine’ assessment by MI5. Like his fellow Leeds Muslim and Jihadist  agitator Mohammed Sidique Khan (the Edgeware Road bomber), he was written off as being a peripheral figure due to being linked only through an associate of the ‘main gang’.

Scotland Yard’s Anti-Terror apparently refused to discuss the Independent’s allegations so the British public remains none the wiser both as to what MI5 and MI6 actually knew about the London bombers before the July 2005 blasts and why, if more damning intelligence was held about the bombers’ Al Quaeda links before the blasts, that intelligence was not acted upon. If, as the global Press and Media has long argued, MI5 and MI6 really were caught unawares by the July outrages then the public has the right to know this.

As the BPP, in Imperium Magazine No.8, reminded MI5 and MI6, the UK Security Services are yet fully to explain why Mohammed Sidique Khan was, in 2004, investigated but written off as being only a peripheral figure. Is it true that Khan was, indeed, a peripheral figure or was Khan’s writing off due to the then chronic shortage of officers and resources which, as Intelligence insiders have often complained to journalists, have long prevented the monitoring of individuals who, Anti-Terror teams believe, merit closer surveillance? Was the writing off of Tanweer also linked to a shortage of resources?

BBC2 recently asked MI5 WHY, in London in 2004, Mohammed Sidique Khan and three other, so far unidentified, men met with a known Al Quaeda operative? Who were the other three men and who was the Al Quaeda operative?  Peripheral or not, WHAT was Khan’s interest in these men and what does MI5 know about that interest?

Following the Independent’s latest revelations, we ask can the men described in the BBC2 investigation now be linked to the MI5 assessments of Mohammed Sidique Khan and Shazhad Tanweer?

BBC2 seemed to have some idea as to the above Al Quaeda man’s identity but, for unexplained legal reasons, felt unable, to identify him. In Imperium No.8, in a War on Terror and Crime Special article, this writer echoed the BBC’s caution but went one step further by drawing readers’ attention to a Newsline column website article found by this writer and written by Internet journalist and Jihad-Watcher Massoud Ansari. In that article, Ansari openly links Mohammed Sidique Khan to an Al Quaeda explosives expert wanted for questioning by the Pakistani and US authorities.

Named by Ansari as Mohammed Yasin, alias Ustad (‘the teacher’) Osama, the Al Quaeda professional is an expert in the manufacture of  home-made bombs used by Jihad terrorists (NB: in the recent Imperium article, this writer accidentally referred to the London bombers’ rucksacks as ‘vests’; there was also an unintended textual omission relating to Ansari’s website). Yasin is said to be on a Pakistani government Most Wanted list for his strongly suspected role in preparing explosives used in the bombings of the US Consulate and the Sheraton Hotel in Karachi and for his alleged masterminding of a failed assassination attempt on the life of Pakistani President, General Pervez Musharraf.

Yasin has been identified as a specialist operative of the Harkat-e-Jihad-e-Islam terrorist group and is a veteran of terrorist training camps along the remote Afghan-Pakistan frontier. In his 30’s, he is easily recognisable due to having lost two fingers as the result of his explosives work.

Said to have prepared British Muslims to fight in Bosnia and Afghanistan, Yasin is also believed by Ansari's sources to have trained Khan in the use and manufacture of explosives. So, bearing in mind that Tanweer separately received arms and explosives' training in Pakistan, at a Harkat - ul - Mujahedeen terror camp near Kashmir, could Yasin have been the mystery, London-based, controller who acted as Khan’s link to Al Quaeda?

Imperium has no way of verifying or disproving Ansari’s claims but they make compelling reading. If true, they make a mockery of MI5’s claims, or perhaps their genuine belief based upon contemporary available evidence and professional judgment based upon that intelligence, that Khan was merely a peripheral figure on the pre-2005 Al Quaeda UK circuit.

At the very least, MI5 and MI6 should be delegating officers to the task of pursuing Ansouri’s allegations. If Khan – perhaps even Tanweer and other members of the July bombing team - did meet with Yasin, if the latter did train Khan and act as Khan’s main Al Quaeda contact in Pakistan and / or the UK, then there are many more questions which need to be answered by the Security Services….not the least of which is: ‘WAS Yasin the un-named Al Quaeda operative whom MI5 in 2004 filmed meeting Khan and the three other un-named men in London?’

Also, our reminder that Khan and Tanweer both, and separately, received explosives training should surely make others ask why there has been such an emphasis upon Khan as the supposedly key explosives figure of the group? Just what do the Security Services know about Khan's explosives training that would justify this emphasis? Could the operation have taken place without him? Could Tanweer, in a crisis, have overseen the entire process and ensured the stability of the explosives during their manufacture and their transportation to London?

One also has to wonder how the Independent secured its ‘scoop’ information about MI5’s 2004 monitoring and / or assessment only of Shazhad Tanweer?

Granted, it is not very complimentary about MI5’s operational abilities in 2004 but such information has to have come from the heart of the UK Intelligence Community, perhaps from within the core of and with the tacit knowledge of MI5’s Anti-Terror directorate. It is so sensitive that its usage and access to it would routinely be extremely limited.  Who leaked it and why? Did the Independent approach those sources with a lead to pursue and, in process, 'scoop' the Tanweer revelation or did its sources release the information unprompted and working a nod-and-a-wink official agenda?

As a recent UK court case has reminded us, civil servants and Intelligence professionals leaking War on Terror information can expect little mercy from the judiciary. Whoever leaked the Tanweer information to the Independent newspaper must therefore have done so resigned to the prospect of severe punishment or safe in the knowledge that his or her superiors would not take such action.

We are therefore entitled to ask why anyone in the middle or senior management levels of MI5 would wish such information to be leaked? As mere civilians, we have no smart answers.

Perhaps someone in MI5 has a personal grudge about the agency’s perceived and actual sloppiness in handling the 2004 investigations of Khan and Tanweer? Perhaps that person, like ‘Deep Throat’ in the Watergate Affair, knows more than he or she can safely reveal but has offered the latest information as a means of embarrassing MI5 into revealing more? For example, might MI5 be protecting an agent or informant still in place and be using the ‘peripheral’ argument to prevent outsiders digging further? Could the leaks be politically motivated, an effort by MI5 right-wingers to embarrass Marxist New Labour?

After all is said and done, might MI5 simply just have made a pig’s ear of its 2004 investigations into those around Khan and Tanweer? Might these leaks be the agency’s way of conceding that reality and of putting added pressure on Marxist New Labour and on Parliament as a whole to speed up the provision of new MI5 resources, including the training and employment of 500-1000 new MI5 officers - thus expanding the agency's numbers to 3,000 - and the wider provision of the Met’s requested 1,500 new Anti-Terror officers?

Whatever the truth of it all, the British public has a right to know the reality behind the spin.

MI5 may well have, in recent months, prevented three terrorist outrages on UK soil but Sir Ian Blair, the media-friendly new Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has earned some praise and credit for his honesty in admitting that the new resources have come too late to prevent what he and others believe will be a successful bombing outrage sometime over coming months.

Meantime, reports the Independent, the recent upsurge in publicly provided information and other intelligence has overwhelmed MI5 desk officers charged with assessing such information.

This article cannot be concluded without a warning about how Left-Liberal government over many decades past has steadily reduced our Security Services and frontline Police forces to a Beggar man condition in which vital units and departments are force to scrabble for, excuse the pun, coppers tossed in the dust by Treasury-emasculated and blinkered Ministers.

We also repeat yet again, and will continue to repeat, the warnings of Enoch Powell and our late Leader John Tyndall.

Both great orators loudly condemned, as do we, the multi-racialism and unbridled immigration policies which have been the hallmark of Labour and Marxist New Labour in power.

The BPP believes that these policies have created in the spreading Muslim ghettos of our towns and cities an environment so alien to traditional British values that terrorists like Khan, Tanweer, Hussain and Lindsay, and others of their ilk, were and are able to move around with confidence as they prepared and prepare their atrocities and plot the rise of their global, fundamentalist Islamic empire.

In the case of Khan et al, that confidence gave them freedom to organise what locals in Beeston, here in Leeds, told the Independent's North of England Correspondent, Ian Herbert, was ‘the Mullah Crew’ and to brainwash young Muslim youth and renegade white converts in ‘the Al Quaeda gym’ and the nearby Iqra bookshop. Eventually, it enabled them to carry out their bloody slaughter of innocents in the heart of the British capital.

Living as we do in Leeds, this writer, BPP National Organiser Eddy Morrison and BPP National Secretary Kevin Watmough are understandably concerned about all matters pertaining to the Security Services' failure before the July bombings to detect the Leeds cell and their comrade-in-terror Jermaine Lindsay. We are also, naturally, worried about the location of the expected follow-up bombing. Has Al-Quaeda chosen Leeds as the next target, perhaps as a retaliatory act in response to the UK-wide and global crackdown imposed by War on Terror agencies in the wake of the London bombings? Or perhaps as a punishment on the city’s mainstream Muslim community for publicly condemning Osama bin Laden and his Legions of Death?

While we support the Independent and other paper in their call for a Public Inquiry into the operations of the pre-July 2005 Anti-Terrorist regime in London and into the alleged pre-bombings Intelligence failures of MI5 and MI6, we also recognise that MI5 and MI6 continue to stand at the forefront of professional excellence in many areas of homeland protection work.  Wherever the next UK target may be, however, a single death or maimed civilian at the hands of  yet another undetected Al Quaeda terror cell is one death and maiming too many. If MI5 has any credible intelligence which will justify a pre-emptive taking out of a copy-cat Al Quaeda bombing cell then we trust and hope that such action is taken. The price of failing to take such action will be more than just MI5's embarrassment.

Asked for his own assessment of the prospects of renewed Al Quaeda terror outrages in Britain and of his officers’ ability to prevent such outrages, Sir Ian replied with a short but damning comment upon which, we are sure, he, Enoch Powell and John Tyndall would have been in full agreement.

‘The sky’, said Sir Ian ‘is dark’.

Sir Ian…we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
