As I have reported over the last couple of weeks the English mainstream media are ramping up the Propaganda for an increase in troops and military equipment in Afghanistan.
Now a new Zealander and two Australians have been killed in a bomb blast in Jakarta and the mainstream media in both Countries are ramping up their news about how a the “Hydra” of international terrorism has hit again.
We are being set up ladies and gentlemen. We are being softened up to accept us sending more troops to the cesspit war in Afghanistan. The “Taliban” word is splattered all over the newspapers and I predict that we will be told that more troops will be send to support the international efforts to “save” the Afghans from the evil “Taliban” within the month. Remember you read it here first.

Reuters reports that blasts at the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott hotels in Jakarta killed at least 9 people, as well as injuring at least 50. In addition, Reuters has reported that a car bomb has been detonated at a toll road in North Jakarta not long after- although the Dow Jones news wires report this last explosion was not caused by a bomb but by a pick-up truck, catching fire.
According to eyewitness reports, the blast in both hotels took place just minutes apart, and emanating from within the buildings, pointing to either an attack by suicide bombers- or to the possibility that the explosives were planted there beforehand. Reports by the Straits Times indicate the latter option is the most probable, as an unexploded bomb has been found and defused at the Marriott hotel. In any case, all eyewitness accounts say the blasts clearly occurred from the inside out.
