Fidel Castro: Osama Bin Laden Is A US Agent

[Dimko-piperkata]

Fidel Castro says al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is a bought-and-paid-for CIA agent who always popped up when former President George W. Bush needed to scare the world, arguing that documents recently posted on the Internet prove it.

"Any time Bush would stir up fear and make a big speech, bin Laden would appear threatening people with a story about what he was going to do," Castro told state media during a meeting with a Lithuanian-born writer known for advancing conspiracy theories about world domination. "Bush never lacked for bin Laden's support. He was a subordinate."

Castro said documents posted on WikiLeaks.org - a website that recently released thousands of pages of classified documents from the Afghan war - "effectively proved he was a CIA agent." He did not elaborate.

The comments, published in the Communist Party daily Granma on Friday, were the latest in a series of provocative statements by the 84-year-old revolutionary, who has emerged from seclusion to warn that the planet is on the brink of nuclear war.

Castro even predicted the global conflict would mean cancellation of the final rounds of the World Cup last month in South Africa. He later apologized for jumping the gun. Last week, he began highlighting the work of Daniel Estulin, who wrote a trilogy of books highlighting the Bilderberg Club, whose prominent members meet once a year behind closed doors.

The secretive nature of the meetings and prominence of some members - including former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, senior U.S. and European officials, and major international business and media executives - have led some to speculate that it operates as a kind of global government, controlling not only international politics and economics, but even culture.

During the meeting, Estulin told Castro that the real voice of bin Laden was last heard in late 2001, not long after the Sept. 11 attacks. He said the person heard making warnings about terror attacks after that was a "bad actor."

Castro stepped down due to ill health in 2006 - first temporarily, then permanently - and handed power over to his younger brother Raul. He has remained head of the Cuban Communist party but stayed out of view for four years after falling sick before returning to the spotlight in July.

Castro did take exception with one of Estulin's major theses: that the human race must move to another habitable planet or face extinction.

Castro said it would be better to fix things on Earth then abandon the planet altogether.

"Humanity ought to take care of itself if it wants to live thousands more years," Castro told the writer.

I respect Cuban people and Fidel Castro too. They are proudly defend themselves against the USA even with the unfair embargoes upon them for years.

On the other hand, I cannot blame Afghan people since their country is constantly under attack, intervention and occupation for more than 30 years and people are heavily traumatized by that. And in Iraq, only the Kurds are pro-USA who are only %15 of it`s population. Also the current pro-USA governments of Iraq and Afghanistan are just puppets.


There are pictures of Afghanistan from 1950-60-70s here. Check this and see how Afghanistan was b4 USSR and USA intervention;

Once Upon a Time in Afghanistan...
“A half-century ago, Afghan women pursued careers in medicine; men and women mingled casually at movie theaters and university campuses in Kabul; factories in the suburbs churned out textiles and other goods. There was a tradition of law and order, and a government capable of undertaking large national infrastructure projects, like building hydropower stations and roads, albeit with outside help. Ordinary people had a sense of hope, a belief that education could open opportunities for all, a conviction that a bright future lay ahead. All that has been destroyed by three decades of war, but it was real.”

You forget British Occupation too Onur

Bush and Bin Laden families are partners.

It is so clear that the very existance of the Al Qaeda / Bin Laden is good only for the Military Gang (the idiots from the military-industrial complex who hold power in USA, UK and several other countries)

Was there really any doubt. Just think are the usa fighting AlQaeda in Afghanistan or the Taliban who wanted to rule their country under stricter Muslim traditions. Is that really worth going to war about or is it the trillion dollar mining resources and umpteen billions in drugs. When the usa can keep saying they have a war on drugs yet usa soldiers can walk right past poppy fields you cannot say you cannot see the contradictions.

Just because the Afghanis are Muslims doesn’t mean they count for squat to say Saudi Arabia the Bush’s other brother. Just look at Darfur and see how much protection being Muslim buys you from the Arabs there when there is big money to be made.

As for Iraq well we all remember Iraq war no. 1 and where the usa were launching their attacks from into Kuwait.
