Congressman Ron Paul fears that the agenda behind the Flight 253
bombing incident is to expand the war on terror into Yemen while
stripping Americans of more liberties, warning that it’s time people
woke up and realized that the government cannot guarantee their
safety.

The Congressman highlighted how the bombing attempt followed
geopolitical turmoil in Yemen in the form of attacks in the country
launched by the Saudis with the endorsement of the U.S. – and how
sectors of the media and politicians were now calling for Yemen to be
a new front in the war on terror as a consequence of the Christmas Day
incident.

“It seems ironic that there is so much excitement about this and now
talk about attacking Yemen,” said Paul, adding that it was the United
States’ presence in Yemen that represented a threat to America, not
the purported presence of Al-Qaeda members in Yemen.

Two days after the incident, influential neo-lib Joe Lieberman cited
the attempted plane bombing in calling for Yemen to be the next target
of the military-industrial complex after Afghanistan, claiming the
plot had links back to the Middle Eastern nation.

Paul raised the question of how a $75 billion dollar a year
intelligence gathering structure failed to stop a dangerous man who
had no passport and was on a terror watch list from boarding a plane.

“It really scares me because we do so much already – we spend $75
billion dollars on intelligence gathering in this country in order to
protect us and make us safe, so with $75 billion dollars we weren’t
able to detect this individual where there’s a glaring warning sign,”
said Paul, citing the fact that the bomber’s father tried to warn the
U.S. that his son was a threat a month ago.

Paul labeled the nature of the incident, “Either awful stupidity or
there must be an agenda….I am concerned what they are going to do to
the American people,” citing how the 9/11 hijackers were also known to
the authorities, who were warned that they were only training to learn
how to fly a plane and not how to land, but that nothing was ever done
about it.

Paul said the people punished for the incident would not be those who
failed to stop the terrorist, but the American people.

“They’ll add some more security on to us – first they make us take off
our shoes and then our belts and then small bottles of water and put
our computers in a tray and on and on so something else is going to
happen, they won’t let us get out of our seats or look at our
bags….thinking that’s going to make us a lot safer,” said Paul, adding
that security should be managed by airline companies and not the
government.

“The bigger the problem and the more the fear is built up, the more
they take away our personal liberties and turn us all into zombies and
the American people go along with it and say as long as it makes us
safer I guess it’s OK to go along but it’s time the American people
woke up and started realizing that there’s a bit of propaganda going
on and quite possibly this incident will not only undermine our
personal liberties but will also accelerate our intervention and the
violence occurring in the Middle East,” concluded the Congressman.

Why doesn't he ask the Dutch authorities, who, last I checked, are
responsible for security and passenger screening at Schiphol airport,
where the alleged bomber boarded, not any US intelligence gathering
structure?

He didn't just board one plane with explosives and no pass port, while
on a terrorists watch list and his father ratting him out that he was
going to blow up a plane before it happened. He boarded a plane in
Yemen, the boarded a plane in Nigeria, then boarded a plane in
Amsterdam.

Dutch officials state that he did, in fact have a valid Nigerian
passport.

Ron Paul still thinks we are dealing with GWB and his criminal allies.
