Cui bono?

Why 12-15 was an inside job

The Australian deep state, manufacturing domestic consent, gearing for a future
war with Iran, fueling Islamophobia, the patsy mad sheikh Man Haron Monis and
the Lindt caf siege

An act of terror generally[is]capable of rippling waves of public indignation, and

accordingly provides the adversarial faction(s) with the pretext for commencing war.
Recruiting terrorists never seems a problem: these appear at the basic level to be a loose
collection of desperadoes, who end up being easily trained, provisioned, and oriented by
the undercover intelligence services
In general, the art of terror entails the (states) underground promotion of a
fractious grouping: say, an ethnic army of liberation, or a radical militiaMeanwhile
the higher levels of this conspiratorial franchise feature a mix of intelligence officers in
charge of disinformation, organization and cover-up, and hired consultants
themselves intelligence officers on loan from other state agencies, foreign and
otherwise, or former soldiers of fortune, whose expertise runs the gamut of recruitment,
financial shuffle, subversive methods and like techniques of destabilization.
In the simplest configurations, the subterranean instruction of the terrorist
cell by the states secret services is part of a maneuver aimed at implicating this
phantom organization into a more or less spectacular act of sabotage. Sabotage either
against the state itself, or against the targeted enemy, that is, a nation whose ruling
clans are to be antagonized by the terrorist recruits in the name of ethnic or religious
rivalry. In the first case, while the wounded government in the vengeful heat of
retaliation clamps down on the terrorists, a variety of prearranged ends, all congruent
in point of social control and surveillance, is swiftly implemented.

Nothing about the official Australian story regarding the sixteen hour Lindt caf
siege that occurred in Martin Place, the Sydney CBD, on Monday, 15 December 20141
makes any sense. All the elements making up its official narrative have been so
clumsily cobbled together, are so blatantly inconsistent, embarrassingly porous,
conceitedly fake and outright contrived -- yet simultaneously so obviously

orchestrated and staged -- that to believe in the official corporate presstitute MSM
line (or, rather, lies) about any of it requires a total suspension of belief, not to
mention reason. As demonstrated in subsequent days, the only level at which this
story maintains any level of consistency (albeit, still without any actual credibility)
is on the level of the memeocracy2 itself, which is to say on the level of hype, wilful
misinformation and disinformation perpetrated by the Australian corporate states
propaganda apparatus which in this case are the duopoly of the Fairfax Media
group3 controlled by Australian mining queen Gina Rinehart4 and Rupert Murdochs
News Corp Australia (formerly News Limited).5
This whole debacle, even before it began, maintains all the classic hallmarks
of a false-flag staged by powerful, behind the scenes interests within Australia itself;
namely, the entrenched Australian plutocracy which together with the Australian
intelligence establishment (particularly ASIO)6 and assorted powerful Zionist
lobbies7 and organizations properly constitute the unelected Australian deep state.
This is the main constituency that practically installed the current Liberal-National
Coalition party (Tory conservative) government of Tony Abbott on 7 September
2013 and has stood behind this governments nasty culture wars, its draconian (even
criminal) anti-asylum policy, as well as, above all, its policies of economic neoliberalization on steroids and casino-type deregulations solely benefiting the
corporatocracy. However hastily concocted and clumsily executed, perhaps due to
an urgency of some sort, nevertheless it appears that this false-flag was undertaken
by the Australian deep state with intent in order to clear several decks. That a
counter-terrorism training exercise was conducted by the Australian Defence Force
in Martin Place, the Sydney CBD in May 2013 only bolsters the case for the staged
nature of 12-15 and that something had already been planned by the system long
before.8
12-15 could also not have come at a more opportune time for the Abbott
government whose electoral fortunes have been consistently sinking in the polls
ever since (and even before) it handed down its May 2014 national budget; a
situation increasingly going from bad to worse with each fortnightly electronic
polling result revealing a palpable sense of genuine hatred rising among significant
portions of the Australian electorate for the Abbott government: an electorate who
only fourteen months prior could not get rid of the former Rudd-Gillard-Rudd ALP
(Labour) government fast enough, itself plagued by rotating leaderships, paralysing
internal destabilization and electoral back-flips.
In fact, on the very same day that this spectacle unfolded, Abbott
government Treasurer Joe Hockey was to release his mid-year economic report that
reveals the Australian national budget deficit to be a further $100 billion AUD in the
black than anticipated back in May 2014.9 Had the Lindt caf siege not occurred,

most certainly this would be the issue dominating the news cycle and its headlines
in Australia on that specific day. On that score alone, the mad sheikh Man Haron
Monis threw the Abbott government a providential life-line (a veritable life-raft, to
be sure) to its fast sinking electoral fortunes. But this hasnt been the first occasion
that Muslim extremism and the threat of home-grown Islamic terrorism have
salvaged the Abbotts governments declining fortunes in the past fourteen months
of its term so far.10 It was merely the most publicized and most hyped of such
occurrences yet, and one thoroughly capitalized and milked for every last contrived
element of it by the Australian deep state establishment and its chief estates,
particularly the Australian corporate presstitute media.
Besides the strategic consensus building exercise this event was designed to
be for purposes of shoring up official justifications for future interventions and
wars in the Middle East (together with the expected enactment of tougher, more
punitive anti-terror security measures to follow), there are other background and
noteworthy elements to this story that further reveal its transparently orchestrated
nature: issues which pundits so far have not given adequate attention to. Indeed 1215 has been a literal gift from heaven on a whole litany of issues to the Australian
deep state establishment and the Abbott government specifically, and this is why
none can take the MSMs official narrative seriously. As the old Persian adage goes,
the tail of the rooster shows.
For example, the public distraction role these events of 12-15 may have
played in diverting attention from the Australian government and corporatocracys
ongoing secret negotiations in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP)11 the greater Pacific regions version of the Transatlantic Partnership Area (TAFTA),12
both of which are effectively ceding state sovereignty and rights over to globalist
corporatocracy and its looting - is something that will certainly need to be
explored more fully in the near future. Although nothing is apparent online as yet
palpably demonstrating as much, some are however privately speculating as to
whether something important having to do with the TPP was occurring in midDecember 2014 (on or just after the event) and which may have prompted the
Australian deep state to orchestrate the events of 12-15 during this time. Watch this
space, but no need to point out that any false-flag event that would predictably
beef-up the surveillance state and increase court and government gag order powers
would certainly help the plutocrats and their government lackeys who are deeply
engaged in this process and who wish to continue keeping both its ongoing
negotiations as well as its provisions secret.
Now, given Australias role on the geopolitical front as the Empires stooge,
as a specifically Iranian refugee who left Iran in 1996 under questionable
circumstances and was granted asylum in Australia in 2001 under even more

questionable circumstances; Man Haron Monis role in 12-15 provides the perfect
justification (dare one say, ploy) for the Australian establishment to now begin
smearing Iran more aggressively than ever before, even though Australia and Iran
officially maintain diplomatic relations and there is an Iranian embassy in Canberra,
ACT. No need to mention that on one level this all has the stench of similar
developments in Canada during 2011-2012 and appears to be following a script
straight from the Stephen Harper playbook in 2012 when his Canadian conservative
government unilaterally cut off all diplomatic relations with Iran, closing down the
embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Ottawa and expelling all diplomatic staff
for totally bogus, trumped up reasons and with obvious and deliberate Zionist
engineering.13 But more than the Islamic Republic of Iran itself, the immediate
target here is more explicitly Iranian asylum seekers and especially those
incarcerated in processing and detention facilities on the island nation of Nauru or
Papua New Guineas Manus island. Tangentially, and possibly in the long term, such
a target may also include the relatively well integrated, successful and materially
affluent immigrant Iranian-Australian community itself as a whole.
Up until now, usually the targets of either the social Islamophobia of those
racist bogan Australians, or official police and security probes and raids, have
been Arab, South-Asian, some Turkish, Sudanese, Bosnian and Albanian Muslim
immigrant communities with some white converts here and there (all generally
Sunn by creed and always Salaf/Wahhab). As of 12-15 this has now been
augmented and implicitly extended to also include Iranians, where an engineered
and manufactured consensus-building exercise casting suspicion on Iranians and
Shii Muslims alike is presently in the works; this, irrespective of the fact that
Australian Shii Muslims have themselves been victims of hate-crime attacks
perpetrated by local Sunn takfr extremists in Sydney and elsewhere as recently as
the 2014 commemorations for the Shii holy day of Ashr.14 Moreover, while
Iranian immigrant communities (other than the now single case of Man Haron
Monis), including religious ones, have more or less remained distant and aloof from
the circumstances, conflicts and politics plaguing other Australian Muslim
immigrant communities -- many of whose internal circumstances and mosque
cultures have produced such hotbeds for extremist recruitment and activity -this will not stop them from being cast in a negative light from here on out by the
system as of 12-15.
The figure of Man Haron Monis, now elevated to the official personfication
of evil meme, allows the Australian deep state and the Abbott government
specifically to smokescreen and shift the Australian publics attention and further
whitewash the deplorable, criminally inhumane conditions Iranian asylum-seeking
refugees presently face within these island detention facilities, not to mention

having to answer any further for the publicized case of Hamid Kehazaei15 or similar.
12-15 has provided the Abbott government just such a perfect foil, and so the
implied justification for a wider cover-up by giving it this golden opportunity it
otherwise would not have possessed in order to implicitly cast all of these Iranian
asylum seekers as being potential Man Haron Monis. Here the present government
or its supporters would not even need to articulate anything explicitly because
these orchestrated events (as reinforced by the corporate media spin) have already
seeded such notions into the greater mainstream Australian collective conscience.
By extension, all immigrant Iranians in Australia (guilty by ethnic and national
association) have likewise been made suspect as well here, implied scapegoats, as it
were; and one will have to watch closely from now on to see how such
manufactured hysteria and Iranophobia will be further cultivated by the Australian
corporate media. There is ample evidence of it already as some of the stories being
put out as of the week of 22 December 2013 by the MSM amply demonstrate.
Yet the deliberate and quite transparent social engineering going on is quite
unmistakable, nor can a straightforward causality implicating the Australian deep
state be denied since it ultimately benefits from such polarization within the
greater Australian polity, as the past decade and a half has abundantly shown.
Indeed an action-reaction-solution dialectic is palpably at play here, and one which
can be easily graphed and mapped out. That the event has already claimed the
political scalp of a prominent New South Wales state parliamentary leader also
speaks to it.16
The long-term benefit to the Australian deep state lies especially in the
event of a future build-up to a war with Iran which Australia, as a key Five-Eyes
Transatlantic partner of the United States in the southern Pacific (and as recent
conflicts from Afghanistan to Iraq have amply demonstrated), would certainly
participate in. 12-15 allows the Australian establishment to draw upon the event,
together with the predictable mythos they are presently erecting around it, in order
to galvanize future domestic public opinion in order to sell such a conflict to the
wider Australian masses. This manufactured consent would seek to further
demonize Iran and Iranians (both domestically and overseas), while simultaneously
muting or otherwise dampening anti-war sentiments against that segment of the
Australian population who would likely dissent and protest - and particularly if
there happened to be any outspoken Iranian-Australians amongst such future
dissenters, where the official narrative about Man Haron Monis would be
conveniently trotted out in order to serve as a means to discredit them with the
mainstream, if even by innuendo.
Some of the questionable stories the MSM has put out, such as Man Haron
Monis purported connection to the Iranian military, security and intelligence

establishment, or those claiming his association with the founders of the Islamic
Revolution and members of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, are
solid proof of what we say.17 Such evidently fake stories are being solely put out for
purposes of a manufactured consensus building exercise targeting Iran. One
correspondent privately pointed out to us in email that with 12-15 there is every
indication that something is actually afoot and may be building up behind the
scenes against Iran as we speak such that this event constituted a sort of
domestically manufactured casus belli, as it were, that others elsewhere can also
draw upon (private communication, 17 December 2014).
Moreover, given Man Haron Monis public antics over Australias military
involvement in both Afghanistan and Iraq in the last decade, and especially the
publicity stunt and brouhaha in 2007-2008 over his inflammatory letters to the
families of Australian servicemen killed in Afghanistan;18 it would appear that if the
Australian establishment had not succeeded in generally de-legitimizing dissenting
opinions at home regarding Australias involvement among a greater mass of its
electorate up to that point (particularly as it has now re-entered the fray in Iraq
once again, this time to fight ISIS), they very well may have succeeded now after 1215. Anything with even a whiff of protest or dissent regarding Australias former
involvement in the Empires wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (and now Iraq once again)
will henceforth be opportunistically seized by the establishment and its media
agents against such dissent, with projections of the ghost of Man Haron Monis
following suit whose manufactured shadow is now made to hang long over any
such criticisms. Given how the Australian establishment has behaved in the past in
other scenarios, it is not difficult to predict their future behaviour here either.
Now let us turn to the dubious character of the mad sheikh Man Haron
Monis himself. But first let us say that rarely does one come across a better typecast
for a proverbial useful idiot or patsy better than he was. If he was indeed mentally
ill, as all indications lead one to believe, then it makes the case for his useful idiocy
and patsy status all that more compelling, not to mention visible. But a few things
about this patsys biography currently circulating in the Australian and global MSM
need to be addressed and ruled out before proceeding further. Some of these stories
put out by the Australian media are without any doubt carefully constructed
sleights of hand and discursive subterfuges planted by the Australian deep state
itself whilst attempting to deliberately smokescreen and muddy waters while
shifting blame from the real culprits, who are none other than the Australian
intelligence agencies, and ASIO specifically.
(1) Man Haron Monis was unlikely to have been an Iranian Intelligence
officer, or even an asset, before he left Iran in 1996.19 Arguably this idea would have
first been incubated by Man Haron Monis ASIO handlers for use at a later time. It

first appeared in his media biography in the 2001-2002 period when the Iranian
government began asking for his extradition back to Iran to face criminal fraud and
embezzlement charges. (2) Whatever being claimed by dubious sources after the
fact, there is no evidence now, nor previous to 12-15, that Man Haron Monis was
ever an eminent figure in the Islamic Republic of Iran well connected to the
founders of the Islamic Revolution or anyone high-up in the government over
there.20 Had this been the case, then the Australian establishment would have
certainly known about it in the 1996-2001 period during his asylum application
process. This feature alone would also have been an indelible part of his media
biography in 2001-2002 when Australian authorities and media first paraded him
nationally as some kind of reformist Ayatollah taking asylum in Australia from
persecution in the Islamic Republic of Iran;21 but it has only been in the week after
12-15 that we have first heard anything about it at all, which in itself discredits any
veracity to the story. (3) Man Haron Monis was not a seminary trained Shii cleric,
let alone an Ayatollah. At only 32 when he left Iran in 1996 he was far too young to
be an Ayatollah, nor did he author a major, independent treatise on Shii
jurisprudence recognized by other Ayatollahs in the Shii seminary system (hawza)
in order to qualify for the rank. In fact, not one shred of evidence has ever been put
forward showing Man Haron Monis even spent a single day in the religious
seminary in Iran. (4) It is questionable whether Man Haron Monis first came to
Australia in 1996 on a business visa and then obtained asylum. Up until 19 December
2014 this matter had never been mentioned as a feature of his official biography at
all.22 If true, bureaucratic bungling or oversight in no way explains it.23 Watch now
as the Australian government uses this issue as a pretext to place even more
draconian visa restrictions on Iranians legitimately travelling to or doing business
with Australia.
Born 19 May 1964, currently nothing is known about the early life of
Mohamad Hassan Manteghi Borujerdi, our mad sheikh. According to Persian
language sources, on the very same year of its establishment, in 1982 he enrolled at
Imm diq University in Tehran as an entering undergraduate.24 Towards the
conclusion of his graduate studies for a Masters degree, he was expelled from the
university due to mental health issues. During this time he married the daughter of
one of the university administrators before separating from her some time later. It
was only after he had already left Iran when this woman obtained court dissolution
of their marriage on grounds of absence.25 In 1996 Mohamad Hassan Manteghi
Borujerdi fled Iran for Australia after embezzling two-hundred thousand US dollars
(U$200,000.00) from a travel agency he had set up. In 2001 Australia granted him
political asylum. Based on what documented evidence this asylum was granted, we
will never know, but it probably would have come with some help from Iranian

opposition groups such as the MEK/MKO, who would have certainly helped him
with his manufactured profile26 (and who are known to be working under the thumb
of ASIO within Australia), not to mention the Bahs who are deeply entrenched
within some of the upper echelons of the Australian system and particularly its high
level Commonwealth government bureaucracies and security agencies, and who
have their own axe to grind with the Iranian government.27 And so began his rather
bizarre, sordid and shady public career in Australia as first an establishment saint
and then finally an establishment demon, solid testimony to the mutual psychosis
of subject and patron alike.
At this very early juncture, and before he was officially granted asylum, Iran
began requesting his extradition, but the Australians refused on grounds that they
had no extradition treaty with Iran.28 The deep states management of their puppetin-the-making at that time demonstratively did not appear to care one iota for the
pre-existing criminal background of Man Haron Monis in Iran itself. According to
Iranian Chief of Police Brigadier General Esmail Ahmadi Moqadam, Man Haron
Monis possessed a long and dark history of violent crime and fraud in Iran, and that
he had first fled to Malaysia before coming to Australia.29 Moqadam further revealed
that Iranian authorities had provided all of Man Haron Monis criminal file to
Australian authorities during the four years while his application was in process all
the way to his being given formal political asylum by the Australians in 2001.30 The
Iranians additionally revealed that they had submitted international warrants for
his arrest via Interpol,31 which the Australians also knew about and ignored.
Australian authorities simply waved away all of these, thus bolstering the case
further that for them Man Haron Monis constituted a person of interest whose
sordid background in Iran did not bother them in the least. In fact, it may have even
helped him get his political asylum given the potential they found in the figure of
Man Haron Monis.
In these first years, particularly during the 2001-2002 period, Man Haron
Monis was paraded by Australian authorities and the media as a pro-Western
religious renegade (whose family in Iran, he claimed, were being detained by the
Iranian government because of his flight and political dissidence). The implied meme
at that time about him was that he was a political asset to the Empires early stages
of crafting its assault upon one of the members of its designated Axis of Evil, or as
Tony Cartalucci aptly put it as the perfect poster child for the ongoing anti-Iran,
pro-war propaganda32 Seven and a half months before 911, the Australian
Broadcasting Association (ABC) introduced him to the wider public in these terms:
People in Sydney walking past the State Parliament buildings on Macquarie
Street in recent weeks might have noticed a tall Muslim cleric who has taken

up residence in a tent on the footpath outside. He is Ayatollah Manteghi

Boroujerdi, a liberal cleric who fled Iran four years ago after being very critical
of the Iranian regime. Ayatollah Boroujerdi's wife and two daughters are now
under house arrest in Iran, and he's hoping the Howard government will put
pressure on the regime there to let his family join him here in Australia.33
In this interview, Man Haron Monis, prompted parrot-fashion, says:
the Iranian regime wants to make me silent, because I have some secret
information about government, and about their terrorist operations in the
war. I sent a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and
somebody on behalf of Mr Kofi Anan sent the answer, and they want to do
somethingIf we explain about the meaning of the word 'Islamic' as a
religious society, if we say Islamic society is a religious society, and a society
which has a relation with God, and wants to be honest, we can say Australia,
Canada, England, USA, so many western countries, they are religious societies.
They don't say 'We are religious', but in fact the spirit of religion, we can see
the spirit of religion in these societies. And some other countries in the Middle
East, in Asia, they say 'We are Islamic' they have a name of Islamic, but in fact
they are not religious societies and religious governmentsWhenever I walk
in the street, whenever I go out in Australia, I feel I am in a real religious
society. I don't want to say it is perfect, we don't have a perfect society on the
earth, but when we compare, if we compare Australia with Iran and other
countries in the Middle East, we can say it is heaven.34
Of course, as far as this specific public profile and meme was concerned, such a
honeymoon oozing with platitudes was to be short-lived as the expendable nature
of Man Haron Monis (due perhaps to his erratic, loose-canon behaviour and mental
health issues) became more apparent to his ASIO handlers. So now he would be used
and built up by the Australian deep state for future use in a much more sinister
capacity, blackmailing him to play such a role being the easiest part. 911 and
Australias entry into both the Afghan and Iraqi theatres provided the means for
just such an opportunity.
We should now note that one motivation by the Australian deep state for
this back and forth, moderate-extremist dialectic displayed in the choreographed
public portrayal and presentation of Man Haron Monis was an attempt by them to
nullify all typologies of the moderate Muslim or moderate Islam in the
mainstream Australian publics consciousness in order thereby to conflate all
Islamic persuasions under the single and convenient rubric of extremist; this,

while simultaneously pushing the mainstream of the Australian Muslim community

into a position of increasing servility towards the systems policies and its
involvement in the Empires wars, blunting its discourse of dissent lest they be
branded with the extremist moniker, thereby pushing large segments of this
community and their leadership into a state of social and political (and dare one say,
paralytic) acquiescence in the face of starker realities. In other words, albeit subtle,
we are dealing with a very sophisticated and multifaceted system of institutional
blackmail of an entire religious and immigrant community. Such are the classic
divide, conquer and control strategies and tactics perfected and employed by the
imperial British colonial presence which indigenous Aboriginal Australians know all
too well in their own experience.
Nevertheless this in itself reveals the social engineering mechanisms at play
behind the Islamophobia in Australia and how the system ultimately benefits from
it together with those powerful Australian Zionist lobbies and organizations fueling
it from both the background as well as within the corporate media establishment
wherein the system succeeds simultaneously in both muzzling the Australian
Muslim community from engaging in real activism as well as pummelling it (in
demonizing it further in the media and public opinion) if it should protest over
anything. In other words, this is the Australian corporate states aggressive
mechanism of foisting a panopticon reality over the Australian Muslim community
where only two options remain to it: silence or opprobrium. Such a reality, which
naturally elicits serious resentment among certain segments of this community,
then inevitably generates the necessary fertile environment for extremist
preaching and recruitment, to which the system in one way or another also then
becomes the beneficiary. Throughout every phase and facet of this process the
system itself, of course, while always present in the background, maintains its
plausible deniability.
Let us now fast forward to the next phase of our mad sheikhs Australian
career. Publicly protesting on the streets of Sydney in dramatic fashion, and as
Australias own role in the Empires wars in Afghanistan and Iraq increased, in the
period between 2007 and 2008 Man Haron Monis re-emerged into the Australian
media spotlight, this time as a bad guy, after authoring, together with partner
Amirah Droudis, a series of inflammatory letters which were sent to families of
fallen Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. In these letters he described the soldiers as
murderers and pigs whilst simultaneously urging these families to call on the
Australian government to leave the Empires war in Afghanistan and bring home
the troops.35 This cause celebre further enflamed the ever rising Islamophobia in
Australia at the time, whose flames are ever carefully stoked and facilitated by the
Australian deep state at each juncture. But no one publicly challenged a key aspect

to this narrative by asking the pertinent question as to how he and his partner so
easily obtained these contact details in the first place? Why has this facet of the
story been accepted as a given?
Withal, Man Haron Monis new profile as a dangerous Islamic extremist
(directly opposite to the choreographed profile his handlers had constructed for
him only seven years before) was now in full swing, with him still in character
playing the role of an Iranian Shii cleric no less. We should also pause and draw the
appropriate parallel here with Lee Harvey Oswald and his passing out pro-Cuban,
pro-Communist pamphlets in the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana just a few
months before the Kennedy assassination. Here Man Haron Monis public antics are
to the events of 12-15 what Lee Harvey Oswalds pamphleteering was to the events
of 22 November 1963.36
These antics by Man Haron Monis earned him expected trouble with the
Australian law enforcement and legal system as well as the predictable widespread
media opprobrium37 which in turn further stirred existing community tensions
(particularly coming on the heels of the Cronulla riots of 200538), muddying waters
even further between the mainstream Australian and Australian-Muslim
communities; this, with Australian Muslim community leaders being increasingly
pushed into unenviable defensive positions of having to explain (or even sometimes
grudgingly forced to defend and justify or otherwise dissimulate) Man Haron Monis
actions and behaviour at the time, since condemning him outright would
compromise their own stance against Australias involvement in Iraq and
Afghanistan, where fellow Muslims (and not even combatant Muslims) where being
butchered or brutalized daily by the Empires onslaughts, evidence then constantly
emerging regarding the Empires unmitigated war crimes in both the Iraqi and
Afghan theatres (the revelations about prisoner abuses at Abu Ghraib was already a
fixture of the public discourse at this point). Yet, to reiterate, and as events showed,
none but the social engineers of the Australian deep state benefitted from these
specific actions of Man Haron Monis, and arguably they may even have put him and
his partner up to it in the first place.
Yet it was also in this very same period when Australian Shii Muslim
leaders, led by senior cleric Kamal Mousselmani (then head of the Supreme Islamic
Shiite Council of Australia39), began publicly questioning Man Haron Monis official
narrative about himself and his credentials as an Iranian Shii cleric specifically,
calling upon Australian authorities, and the Australian Federal Police (AFP)
particularly, to conduct an official inquiry regarding such claims.40 Kamal
Mousselmani stated to a correspondent of The Australian that there are no
Ayatollahs in Australia and that From the way he [Man Haron Monis] writes his
(fatwas or religious edicts), I don't think he is Shia Muslim41

The matter was even separately investigated by the Australian Federation of

Islamic Councils, a mainly Sunn body, who could find no credible information as to
the real identity, credentials or background of sheikh Haron.42 Even though Man
Haron Monis now found himself in the middle of a highly publicized legal and
political battle over his inflammatory letters, no inquiry or official investigation
into this aspect of his official biography was ever forthcoming by Australian high
officialdom, the reasons being obvious since they were responsible for creating it in
the first place. Instead, as with earlier complaints by Iranian authorities during his
asylum application process, they were roundly ignored. Interestingly enough, Ikebal
Patel of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils even called out Man Haron
Monis as a possible shill whose antics were specifically being put up to stir antiIslamic sentiments within the greater Australian community.43
Clearly, therefore, as of 2007 the Australian Muslim leadership, from both
Sunn and Shii camps, were well aware of Man Haron Monis true provocateur
nature and so were on to him. This also demonstrates by implication that some
within this community may have privately held suspicions that there were
shadowy, behind the scenes players at work in Man Haron Monis activities here.
The silence and inaction of Australian authorities in properly investigating his
purported religious credentials when called upon to do so would have only
reinforced such notions even more firmly.
That said, in late November 2009 Man Haron Monis day in court over the
inflammatory letters finally arrived. Through his lawyers he first described himself
as being a peace activist, and appearing in costume as the Iranian cleric, he then
chained himself to the entrance of the court house to protest the charges.44 The
Sydney, New South Wales court predictably banned him from mailing further
inflammatory missives, and clearly overstepping its jurisdiction, likewise banned
him from communicating with UK families of fallen British soldiers.45 Upon what
legal basis or how a New South Wales court possesses any mandate to ban
communication outside of its jurisdiction - a legality which would fall more
appropriately either under the purview of an Australian Federal court or the
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade - is another aspect of this narrative that
makes little sense. To any legal expert, this alone suffuses this specific part of the
spectacle with the element of farce. Yet Man Haron Monis handlers would need this
slant in the story in order to build up their narrative regarding Man Haron Monis
international level menace-hood, despite the fact that at this point of the story to
any actual, objective observer of events Man Haron Monis appeared more as a clown
than as any international menace.
Predictably Man Haron Monis appealed the courts verdict to the New South
Wales Court of Criminal Appeals in Sydney, maintaining that the charges brought

against him were invalid because they infringed on his implied constitutional
freedom of political communication.46 The appellate court, however, dismissed the
appeal. Further appealing to the High Court of Australia, but due to the absence of a
single judge, the High Court was split 3-3 and so the NSW appellate courts decision
was automatically upheld.47 Another, final appeal to the High Court of Australia over
the charges of his criminal use of the postal service was rejected for a hearing by
the court on 12 December 2014, only three days before the Lindt caf siege.48
Now, where Man Haron Monis obtained the needed funding for such a
lengthy, grinding and obviously expensive court battle is a question that will one
day open up a whole pandoras box of answers directly implicating the Australian
deep state puppeteering all sides of this public circus, since it appears our mad
sheikhs main source of income was actually as a social security welfare recipient.49
That aside, this gruelling process would have also taken its personal toll even
further upon someone of Man Haron Monis already volatile and generally unhinged
psychological make-up. Arguably the system expected it and actively encouraged it
because Man Haron Monis essential use-by-date, the purpose for which he had
been cultivated and groomed, and whose extremist persona had been incubated
and ever carefully choreographed since 2007, was now beginning to approach.
This growing psychological meltdown on Man Haron Monis part can be seen
during this period especially in the events surrounding the murder of his ex-wife
Noleen Hayson Pal in April 2013 where she was found stabbed to death and set on
fire.50 In December 2013 Man Haron Monis partner Amirah Droudis51 (a dubious
character in her own right and possibly being the Australian deep states very own
infiltrated honey-pot) was formally charged with the murder, with Man Haron
Monis charged in the capacity of an accessory before and after the fact.52 During the
bail hearing, taking a page from an earlier script, our mad sheikh first declared that
he was being set-up for the murder by the Iranian intelligence apparatus who, he
claimed, had actually committed the murder and were framing him.53 When that
was rejected by the court, he then blurted out that it was in fact ASIO who were
responsible,54 which is probably closer to the real truth of the matter given what we
believe about the role of Amirah Droudis. While the court rejected both these
arguments, inexplicably it granted bail to both Amirah Droudis and our mad sheikh:
a convicted murderer and her purported companion-accessory in the murder, with
both walking.
Later in January 2014, again appearing in court, Man Haron Monis this time
declared that he had evidence that ASIO were conspiring against him to have him
jailed, urging the judge to force a legal disclosure of all documents about him by
the intelligence organization, which the judge promptly indicated he did not have
the power to do.55 Yet here, on this point, we can take our mad sheikhs word for it

about the actual responsible parties, albeit maybe not as to their specific intent. The
patsy was now fully in loose cannon mode and so events needed to be brought ever
closer to their denouement conclusion where the useful idiot would play his final,
assigned role. While all the above was underway, in March 2014 our mad sheikh was
now arrested, arraigned and then released over an incident from 2002 involving an
alleged sexual assault of a woman who had responded to an add he had put in the
local papers advertising his services as a spiritual healer, where Man Haron Monis
claimed to be an expert in astrology, numerology, meditation and black magic.56
In October 2014 further charges were laid against him over this including 22 counts
of aggravated sexual assault and 14 counts of aggravated indecent assault, with six
more women subsequently coming forward to make the same allegation against
him.57
Clearly the system was putting the proverbial squeeze before the upcoming
grand finale for which our mad sheikh had been groomed for some time. But with
all of these serious criminal charges, convictions and court verdicts against him, it is
utterly inexplicable to all reason, nay beyond comprehension, as to how a convicted
criminal such as he would be allowed to roam and walk freely in any modern
Western Anglo-American, Five-Eyes society, especially one in the post-911/post-Bali
world: a man who was also a purported controversial Muslim cleric and deemed
to be extremist by the system and corporate media establishment, no less. Any
suggestions as to systemic oversight, bureaucratic failure or breakdowns is utterly
preposterous, to say the least. No, that Man Haron Monis was not locked up in April
2013 (if even in December 2013) after the murder of his ex-wife is solid, irrefutable
testimony to the fact that the Australian deep state possessed an agenda and had a
direct hand in keeping him on the streets whilst preparing those necessary
conditions before the main event when he would be unleashed for his final act in
the play they were staging. This was their way of keeping him on a short leash and
the manner in which they could simultaneously maintain their plausible deniability.
And then, all of a sudden, to trudge up old allegations from 2002 (whether with a
basis or without it, being tangential to the plot) from the period when he was the
systems proverbial golden boy for their anti-Iranian war propaganda memes,
further stretches credulity but also makes perfect sense to those who understand
how these patterns unfold and how the deep state system predictably behaves at
such junctures of the narrative.
So here now we enter the timeline on the eve of 12-15 itself. We should first
note that forty-eight hours before the events at the Lindt caf even got underway -that is on Saturday, 13 December 2014 -- an anonymous tip-off to the Australian
National Security hotline was made about the recent extremist content appearing
on our mad sheikhs website.58 Predictably authorities did nothing, demonstrating

no intention or compunction whatsoever in picking him up, since that was not part
of the plan. The anonymous caller had responded to recent changes made by our
mad sheikh to his website only five days prior where -- just like that! -- he had
dramatically renounced his lifelong Shiism (so much for being an Ayatollah!) and
reverted to the radical, takfr Wahhab Sunnsm of the Islamic State
(IS/ISIS/ISIL/Daesh), while (without mentioning him by name) in Arabic formally
pledging allegiance to its CIA-MOSAD puppeteered caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdad,
referring to him as the Commander of the Faithful (amr al-muminn).59
In English the reversion is even more explicit, where he says, I used to be a
Rafidi [i.e. the pejorative term in which Shii Muslims are referred to by Sunn
fundamentalists], but not anymore. Now I am a Muslim, Alhamdu Lillah, dated
December 2014. The die was finally cast and the expected event was about to
unfold. What chain of events specifically set-off his reversion to takfr Wahhab
Sunnsm, and then how this built into his decision to play his final, assigned role as
the Lindt caf hostage-taker - particularly what actors besides his honey-pot ASIO
mole partner Amirah Droudis may have played a part -- will be a tale all unto itself.
With rumours abounding for years that the Sydney Sunn takfr scene is riddled
with ASIO, AFB and other Australian law enforcement and intelligence moles and
shills swelling its ranks from top to bottom, it is not difficult to envisage how this
reversion may have transpired (and at whose hands) as the system geared up and
formally put its final, anaconda-like death-coil-embrace around our mad sheikh
where he was pushed to, and over, the breaking point and so had nothing more to
lose. And yet his total psychological meltdown is fully in evidence at this point with
his reversion and so why he would be even more malleable than ever (prone to
suggestibility and outright psychological manipulation) in order to perform his
assigned task in this defining, final act of these staged events. The only question
which will always remain is what he thought to himself he was actually going to
accomplish with these theatrics and whether he believed he would even survive the
ordeal.
Reports being vague as to precisely when he appeared on the scene, at
approximately 8:45-9:00am on the morning of Monday, 15 December 2014, Man
Haron Monis had already stepped into the Lindt caf in Martin Place, the Sydney
CBD: an area with as many CCTV cameras in place as the most heavily surveillanced
area of London, where local Channel 7 TV station security cameras from across the
street had recorded a glimpse of our mad sheikh pacing up and down the area just
minutes before he entered the premises.60 With him, when finally entering the caf,
was a duffle bag with effects and, more lethally, a sawed off shot-gun. Where and
how he had obtained the weapon, or whether he even knew how to use it, we do not
know. Reports say when he entered Lindt caf he first ordered himself a coffee and

then sat quietly sipping it away before commencing the deep state orchestrated
festivities that promptly unfolded next. By 9:45am the siege was already underway
where clientele and staff were being held hostage in the Lindt caf by our mad
sheikh, with a black on white takfr flag (donning the calligraphic Arabic of no god
but God; Muammad is the Messenger of God) - used primarily by the Syrian alQaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nura and the Nigerian Boko Harm, among others prominently displayed at the front window of the caf for maximum dramatic
effect.
Within a short space of time after the siege commenced heavily mobilized
police with police military vehicles, together with the entire Sydney based
Australian counter-terrorism taskforce, had arrived on the scene armed to the teeth
surrounding the area. Then came the most bizarre feature of this story with our
mad sheikh sending out video recorded messages from his hostages inside the caf
demanding the ISIS flag and a phone conversation with Tony Abbott while
designating the siege an ISIS operation (a point which was promptly denounced as
lacking any authorization by it).61 Contradictory reports also said he had claimed at
one point to have planted bombs in the area.
We will not recap all the remaining details and minutia of the siege, but as
the hours tolled away and hostages began to be released, the hollywoodesque
nature of this whole spectacle was not lost on some. This whole event had an eerie
feel to it of Al Pacinos 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon with the Black takfr flag and
self-association with ISIS a substitute for the films famous clarion call (invoking the
Attica prison riot): Attica, Attica!62
As the hours wore on, with weariness obviously setting in with both hostage
taker and remaining hostages alike, the zero-hour and moment of reckoning now
arrived. Sixteen hours into the siege and the police finally stormed the premises
clearing it and ending the siege in an obvious, one-way shooting spree, killing our
mad sheikh and the two remaining hostages in the caf along with him. All of the
reports emerging in the first few hours, however vaguely worded by the local news
organizations, clearly but implicitly show that that the police did all the shooting,63
thus making of the finale of this staged event nothing more than a police execution
with hostages Katrina Dawson (38) and Tori Johnson (34) as collateral damage in a
police killing spree. For example, the initial SBS report after the siege - which was
later post-dated to 10:03am the next morning (16 December 2014) -- states: Both
hostages died when heavily armed police stormed the Martin Place cafe early this
morning. The 50-year-old gunman, self-described Muslim cleric Man Haron Monis,
was also killed.64 All subsequent reports, however tortured their attempts in
articulating transparent vagaries, have in so many words asserted the same.

With not a single statement or brief forthcoming by either local or national

police, or by national counter-terrorism taskforce representatives or the state and
national elected governments, about what actually transpired at the conclusion of
the siege; on Sunday, 28 December 2014, local news organizations themselves began
partially confirming the true locus of blame for the killings.65 Given this, 12-15 was
no terrorist event perpetrated by Man Haron Monis in the name of radical Islam at
all. Indeed the event was a terrorist event, alright, except the real terrorist culprit
would be the Australian deep state itself and its police and security apparatus
staging a false-flag for ulterior motives while using the opportunity to permanently
decommission and dispose of one of their own patsy assets.
To further add to this tragicomic farce, the next morning Tony Abbott was
briefed by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) regarding Man Haron Monis
possession of a firearm license only to be contradicted by the New South Police
some hours later where they unequivocally retorted that he had possessed no such
license.66 Clearly in all the post-fracas haste and hustle and bustle, and before the
smoke had fully cleared, the various levels of the Australian deep state had gotten
their wires crossed on key elements of their official story, which indicates a
developing, albeit even clumsier, cover-up. More aptly, Peter Symonds, writing for
Global Research, points out:
As of today, neither the Abbott government nor the New South Wales (NSW)
state authorities has provided any official explanation for, or account of, the
police storming of the Lindt cafe. None of the many questions surrounding the
decision to activate the entire counter-terrorism apparatus on Monday have
been answered. Instead, following his query on Tuesday, Abbott announced
a joint review with the NSW government on Wednesday...the Abbott
governments review seeks to deflect attention from the central question that
must be posed: why was a terrible, but relatively straightforward, police
matter elevated to the status of a national emergency involving the entire
security apparatus? The political purpose of that decision, like the review, is to
inflate the war on terror in preparation for greater Australian commitment
to US-led conflicts and a deepening assault onsocial and democratic rights...67
While the mainstream Australian public consciousness has generally been
anesthetized by the power of the Australian corporate state propaganda machine
from believing in conspiracy facts when it stares them in the face; with the ever
ballooning surveillance state apparatus unfolding more and more in Australia and
intruding its tentacles into every nook and cranny of their personal lives and
futures, events may give pause to some who are more conscientious than others to
reflect on the cloak and dagger reality of the deep state which indeed surrounds

them and ultimately victimizes them as much as it callously does so to its assets as
well as its targets. More will certainly be written on this case in coming years and
much, much more will certainly be revealed as well. But given the facts right now
(most glaringly of all, the consistent silences and do-nothingism by the system at
crucial parts of the narrative) and as countless pundits in the alternative media
have independently conceded, the staged nature of 12-15 together with the useful
idiocy and patsy status of its claimed perpetrator Man Haron Monis - who now
stands alongside names such as Gavrilo Princip, Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan
Sirhan - will be difficult to deny.
For years this same mainstream Australian public opinion (against the
judgement of actual on-the-scene eye-witnesses as well as later court findings that
dismissed earlier expert testimony and proved one of its earlier court experts from
England to have been a fraud) was also firmly convinced of the established guilt of
Lindy Chamberlain in the murder of her baby Azaria at Uluru in 1980; that is, until
years later when events and especially developments in zoology and forensics
finally proved beyond doubt that indeed a dingo had taken her baby after all and
that indeed Lindy Chamberlain was innocent of the crime initially attributed to her
by corrupt officialdom of the Northern Territory government who (at the moment
of tragedy over the loss of their child) instead set her and her family up in the
territorys court system in order to deflect from negative publicity falling upon its
tourism industry.68 Here in the events of 12-15 a wild, ravenous, diseased and mangy
demonic-dingo, which is the unelected Australian deep state, has in broad daylight
assaulted the baby that was the remaining innocence, good faith, sincerity (and dare
one say, gullibility) of mainstream Australia and forever destroyed whatever was
left of the illusion of the lucky country. It is perhaps time for the Australian public
to wake up from their slumber, stop blaming the wrong people, and realize how
they themselves have been massively hoodwinked and bamboozled in this situation
by the sinister forces of the Australian corporate deep state who have stood to
actually benefit from 12-15, the Lindt caf siege, and thereby use the event as a
pretext to disenfranchise mainstream Australia in even greater proportions than
ever before.

As a shorthand, here we will be using the Americanized date 12-15 rather than the more accurate
Australian one 15-12. Our reasons should be obvious.
