Azzam the American and the Falling Ratings of George Bush

By Woodrow Gillian

Al-Jazeerah, September 16, 2006

This weekend a story appeared about a new video from Al-Qaeda. This video included both Ayman Al Zawahiri, the purported number two man in Al Queda, and a man called "Azzam the American". "Azzam the American" is supposed to be an American who converted to Islam. Here is an interesting quote from one story about "Azzam the American".

"Appearing days before the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the United States, Gadahn spoke for nearly the entire video, which included no direct threats of terror attacks.

That is interesting. According to opinion polls, the ratings of George Bush, and the American public's support for the war in Iraq, are at the lowest they have been in some time. Suddenly, close to the anniversary of Sept 11, "Azzam the American" pops up in a video. What does "Azzam the American" have to say?"

"To Americans and the rest of Christendom, we say either repent (your) misguided ways and enter into the light of truth or keep your poison to yourself and suffer the consequences in this world and the next."

How convenient. Support for George Bush and the Iraq war is at a low. "Azzam the American" shows up in a video and says Americans better repent or they will suffer. What effect do you think that will have on the average person? The average person will begin to get frightened. They will most likely have more bad feelings about all Muslim people. Not only does "Azzam the American" mail in his video in time to urge people to remember Sept 11, not only does his video arrive at an opportune time for George Bush and his falling ratings, "Azzam the American" is also apparently some kind of star. The majority of the video stars "Azzam the American", even though the number two of Al Queda, Ayman Al Zawahiri is purportedly right there.

It is a fact that the Pentagon has set up a Department of Propaganda. It is a fact that this Department of Propaganda was caught red handed planting false news stories in newspapers in Iraq. It is a fact that the Bush administration has been caught passing videos to TV people who then pass them off as a production of the TV people. The last time that "Azzam the American" made an appearance was, very conveniently, right before the 2004 elections. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,137087,00.html  In the video, "Azzam the American" makes threatening statements. This video and "Azzam the American" were given wide media coverage. The video appeared just in time to scare American voters so they would be more likely to vote for George Bush. George Bush won the 2004 election.

There is a very important part of this story that is only found in very few news articles. This fact is certainly not printed at the front of the story. This fact has been at the bottom of all the stories I have seen it in. "Azzam the American" is Jewish. Yes. That is right. The "Islamic terrorist", "Azzam the American" is actually a Jewish person named Adam Pearlman who changed his name to Adam Gadahn. This Jewish person is in a video that is being broadcast all over the USA. This Jewish person is talking about how Islam is going to come and get the Americans. This Jewish person does all of this dressed up in Arabic clothing.

In a world where people are still rational, what is the likelihood that a Jewish person converts to Islam, apparently becomes number three in the Al-Qaeda organization, an organization whose clearly stated views are that Israeli Zionists are their enemies, and then goes on to create a video in which he says Americans better convert to Islam or they will pay? Just in time for George Bush and his falling ratings? We know for a fact the government tells lies. "There are WMD in Iraq". "The Israeli invasion of Lebanon was retaliation for the kidnapping of two soldiers", and not a pre planned invasion as reported in the press.

"Azzam the American" may be a CIA/Zionist agent. The new video that has been produced and shown around the world may be a creation of a Zionist/CIA department. The footage of Ayman Al-Zawahiri was most likely cut and pasted from some other video.

The final interesting fact that should make anyone pause and consider what is really going on here is this quote. "The CIA said it had conducted a technical review on the video footage and concluded that the voice was Zawahiri's. A CIA spokeswoman said the agency was not authorised to conduct such analysis on US citizens such as Gadahn."

Hmmmmmm. I am guessing they are not doing a voice analysis because that would prove it is Adam Pearlman who is making the video. When the CIA/Zionist agent Adam Pearlman is done with his job, he cannot return to regular life if the CIA has verified his voice as being on an Al-Qaeda propaganda tape. He would be prosecuted as a terrorist like the California Taliban. On the other hand, if Adam Pearlman comes back to the US and he is accused of being the terrorist Adam Gadahn who made terrorist videos, there is no proof it was Adam Pearlman making the video because the CIA has not done a voice analysis. Adam Pearlman can claim all the evidence they have is the video images themselves. It could be a case of mistaken identity, or someone is trying to frame Adam Pearlman. Once the goals of the CIA/Zionists have been accomplished, Adam Pearlman can return to a comfortable life in the USA with a sense of a job well done. He has no need to fear because there is no concrete evidence against him that will be accepted in a court of law.
