Prepare for War!This weekend I'll be debating and discussing with folks I don't always agree with.
I’m planning a thoroughly disagreeable weekend. It should be fun! On Friday’s live radio show, I’ll begin by debating Jeremy Rothe-Kushel, who has been taking potshots at me and my False Flag Weekly News program. Here he is with sidekick Greg McCarron doing a Mystery Science Theater style commentary on FFWN: Then Jim Fetzer will join me for the second hour to discuss his appeal to the Supreme Court (re: Pozner v. Fetzer): “Here's my Petition, Appendices, and an Amicus Brief filed in support. Pozner has declined to file. But he has initiated another action in Dane County Circuit Court to take possession of my book, NOBODY DIED AT SANDY HOOK, and my blog (to such extent as possible). I am attaching the Motion, Affidavit, Reponse, Affidavit, and Reply. The Judge who heard my original case is hearing this one tomorrow morning beginning at 10 AM, so I can update on that, too.” While I strongly support Jim’s right to a fair trial, which seems to have been violated, I don’t fully agree with his interpretation of many things, including Sandy Hook. Finally, and perhaps most disagreeably of all, lawyer and philosophy professor Sterling Harwood will co-host FFWN on Saturday. As far as I can make out, Sterling supports Biden and Zelensky, leans pro-LGTBQ, thinks COVID may have had a natural origin, actually favors mutilating gender-confused children (shudder!), and generally disagrees with me and the other regular FFWN co-hosts about just about everything. Get ready for some pre-Fourth-of-July fireworks! (Details HERE.) Thank you for supporting False Flag Weekly News! If it weren’t for our viewer-sponsors, we couldn’t keep pushing back against Sterling’s perspective ; - ) Best Kevin |
Banned Documentaries - Ep. 2: What really happened at Sandy Hook?
Exposing Falsehoods and Revealing Truths
Monday, May 16, 2016
Francine Wheeler Was Personal Assistant to DNC National Finance Chair
by James Tracy
The Wall Street Journal reports on May 14 that
Democratic Party presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is “ramping
up her fundraising schedule” with prominent supporters now hosting
$100,000-per-head events.
Two individuals cited among Clinton’s inner fundraising
circle are Maureen White and Steve Rattner, who oversaw one of the
money soirees on May 12 at their Manhattan residence. (A second
fundraiser was hosted that day by Lynn Forester de Rothschild.)
“Mr Rattner was a prominent businessman and served in the Obama administration,” the Journal notes. Yet the brief report doesn’t elaborate on the couple’s very close ties to the Obama administration, where Clinton served as Secretary of State.
“Mr Rattner was a prominent businessman and served in the Obama administration,” the Journal notes. Yet the brief report doesn’t elaborate on the couple’s very close ties to the Obama administration, where Clinton served as Secretary of State.
As MHB observed in 2013, Sandy Hook parent and actor Francine Wheeler was previously employed as personal assistant to chief Democratic National Committee fundraiser White.
In fact, White was the DNC’s star campaigner, raising $51 million in
2005 alone. She then served as senior advisor on humanitarian issues (???) in
Afghanistan and Pakistan in under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (???).
White’s husband, the powerful Wall Street investment banker and Obama administration advisor Steve Rattner, is also a close personal friend and money manager of anti-gun crusader and founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg used the Sandy Hook shooting as a rallying cry for more stringent federal gun control measures. Rattner is also a member of the influential Council on Foreign Relations.
Readers of this blog may also recall that Francine Wheeler is also a musician member of “The Dream Jam Band,”
a group of “from the Northeast who,” according to their website, “write
and play an eclectic collection of original music for children of all
ages young and old [sic].” Here are Francine and the Dream Jam Band
performing a lip-sync performance of the song, “Brush Your Teeth.”
In 2001, Francine married David Cole Wheeler, another professional actor who starred in an obscure short film, Faithful,
also produced that year. The macabre production centers around the
theme of suicide that eerily reemerges in the Sandy Hook shooting
narrative. David is now on the speaking circuit as a bereaved Sandy Hook parent.
Image Credit: Wolfman Productions
One Sandy Hook researcher has recently located
photographic and video evidence strongly suggesting that David also
clumsily played an FBI sniper in Newtown on December 14, 2012.
Since this possible appearance as an inept militarized
policeman David and Francine, with a little help of folks like
Francine’s former boss Maureen White, have made virtual careers out of
their identity as mourning Sandy Hook parents turned gun control
activists.
For example, in April 2013 the Wheelers collaborated in their presentation of the White House Weekly Address for
the Obama administration, pointing to their apparent loss and calling
on the US Congress to enact “common sense gun responsibility reforms
[sic].”
Here David Wheeler performs at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence’s Brady Bear Awards for its campaign, “Imagine a Future Where No Child Is Killed With a Parent’s Gun.”
The ties between the Democracy Party establishment,
Wall Street and the most significant event seized upon to further gun
control measures in this country couldn’t be more clear. Yet this is
something that major media outlets such as The New York Times are not investigating, and with good reason, as they are integral components of this finely-tuned passion play.
James Tracy, former Associate Professor of Media and Communications at Florida Atlantic University, has filed a lawsuit against FAU for wrongful termination. moonrockbooks.com has donated $5,000 to support his legal defense fund.
This week's FFWN almost got pre-empted when Frontier internet service
collapsed in south central Wisconsin just minutes before the show. So I
had to broadcast from a local café, with the show beginning 45 minutes
late. (Then when I got home an unmarked black helicopter flew back and
forth overhead about a quarter-mile to the west.) Just another exciting
day at False Flag Weekly News!
Just to spite the bastards, we did a full hour show and reported on 40 stories, including 15 in the False Flag category..

US tax dollars massacred Pakistani children
Most Americans are decent people. Naturally they are horrified by the massacre of over 100 children at a school in Peshawar.
They would be even more horrified if they knew their tax dollars had paid for it.
That’s right – it wasn’t America’s enemies that killed those children. It was US.
But there is a lot more to say.
The US empire – sorry, I should call it the Bankster Empire – created the Pakistani Taliban to destabilize Pakistan. The ultimate aim is to take down Pakistan’s nuclear capability. Secondary goal: demonize Islam in general and the Empire’s Afghan enemies in particular.
Israel and India eagerly joined the project. Both have their own reasons for wanting to destabilize, dismember and destroy nuclear-armed Pakistan.
Today it is the Indian intelligence service, RAW – unleashed by the genocidal Islamophobe Narendra Modi – that has the most hands-on control of the so-called Pakistani Taliban. But the US Deep State, with its deep pockets from narcotics trafficking, is still in the picture.
The founding fathers of the Pakistani Taliban are people like CIA operative Raymond Davis, who got caught red-handed setting up terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
Syed Zaid Hamid, the brilliant Pakistani defense analyst, has exposed the CIA-RAW-Mossad “Pakistani Taliban.”
Zaid Hamid explains:
The real war on terrorism is the war on false flag terrorism. The real terrorists are the Empire’s hired and brainwashed professional killers.
And their funders.
That would be you.

US tax dollars massacred Pakistani children
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, with Syed Zaid Hamid
Most Americans are decent people. Naturally they are horrified by the massacre of over 100 children at a school in Peshawar.
They would be even more horrified if they knew their tax dollars had paid for it.
That’s right – it wasn’t America’s enemies that killed those children. It was US.
The so-called “Pakistani Taliban” is NOT the Afghan Taliban. The “Pakistani Taliban” is a false-flag group created and run by the American Deep State and its allies India and Israel.Jim Fetzer and I briefly covered this story on False Flag Weekly News.
But there is a lot more to say.
The US empire – sorry, I should call it the Bankster Empire – created the Pakistani Taliban to destabilize Pakistan. The ultimate aim is to take down Pakistan’s nuclear capability. Secondary goal: demonize Islam in general and the Empire’s Afghan enemies in particular.
Israel and India eagerly joined the project. Both have their own reasons for wanting to destabilize, dismember and destroy nuclear-armed Pakistan.
Today it is the Indian intelligence service, RAW – unleashed by the genocidal Islamophobe Narendra Modi – that has the most hands-on control of the so-called Pakistani Taliban. But the US Deep State, with its deep pockets from narcotics trafficking, is still in the picture.
The founding fathers of the Pakistani Taliban are people like CIA operative Raymond Davis, who got caught red-handed setting up terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
Syed Zaid Hamid, the brilliant Pakistani defense analyst, has exposed the CIA-RAW-Mossad “Pakistani Taliban.”
Zaid Hamid explains:
Just as CIA has created Free Syrian Army and Now Daish/ISIS, they had created TTP (“Pakistani Taliban”) in 2004, after recruiting Abdullah Mehsud in Guantanamo. Primarily, TTP was a CIA Black Ops. But due to its heavily religious content, Darul Uloom Deoband India /RAW joined in as ideological patrons. Slowly, CIA withdrew to Drone warfare only, using TTP assets as spies against Afghan Taliban/Haqqani BUT RAW took over anti-Pak ops of TTP.Got that, Mr. and Mrs. America? YOU killed those kids in Peshawar.
Right now, TTP are based & protected in Afgh. CIA/JSOC uses them as spies. RAW uses them as ruthless war machine against Pakistan. So to fully eliminate TTP, we will have to eject CIA/JSOC from Afghanistan & also eliminate all Indian assets to isolate/destroy TTP fully.
The real war on terrorism is the war on false flag terrorism. The real terrorists are the Empire’s hired and brainwashed professional killers.
And their funders.
That would be you.

Meanwhile,
a Pakistani prosecutor said the government will try to cancel the bail
granted to the main suspect in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks — a
decision that outraged neighbouring India and called into question
Pakistan's commitment to fighting militancy.
The
violence at a school in Pakistan's northwest earlier this week stunned
the country and brought cries for retribution. In the wake of the mass
killing the military has struck targets in the Khyber tribal region and
approved the death penalty for six convicted terrorists.

On Friday morning, troops killed 18 more militants during a 'cordon and search operation' in Khyber, the military said.
Khyber
agency is one of two main areas in the northwest where the military has
been trying to root out militants in recent months. Khyber borders
Peshawar, where the school massacre happened, and militants have
traditionally attacked the city before fleeing into the tribal region
where police can't chase them.
The other area is North Waziristan, where the military launched a massive operation in June.
In
the southern province of Baluchistan, Pakistani security forces killed a
senior Pakistani Taliban leader along with seven of his associates in
three separate pre-dawn raids, said a tribal police officer, Ali Ahmed.

Retribution: The

Army
chief Gen. Raheel Sharif signed death warrants of six 'hard core
terrorists' convicted and sentenced to death by military courts, the
army said.
It
was unclear when the military planned to hang the six men, but
authorities generally move quickly once death warrants are signed. Such
executions are usually carried out at prisons under the supervision of
army officers and then the bodies are handed over to relatives for
burial.
There was no information on the men or the crimes for which they were convicted.
The
news came after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday announced that
he would lift a moratorium on executions in terrorism-related cases.
The government has not yet carried out any executions.
Evil: Taliban fighters who allegedly
stormed an army-run school in Peshawar pose for a picture before
carrying out the atrocity. The death warrants of six 'hard core
terrorists' convicted and sentenced to death by military courts were
also signed
Controversy: Meanwhile, a Pakistani
prosecutor said the government will try to cancel the bail granted to
Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi (centre), the main suspect in the 2008 Mumbai
terror attacks
The
lifting of the moratorium was aimed at demonstrating the government's
resolve. But the decision by an anti-terrorism court Thursday to grant
bail to the main suspect in the Mumbai attack, Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi,
called into question that commitment.
Lakhvi
is one of seven people on trial in Pakistan for the assault, but the
trial has produced no results so far. It has been closed to the media.
India reacted with outrage to news of Lakhvi's pending release.
Special
public prosecutor Abu Zar Peerzada said he would appeal to the High
Court to cancel the bail and said Lakhvi had not yet been released.
'My heroine mother was shot in the head shepherding her children to safety': Son of Peshawar headmistress 'torched alive in front of pupils' reveals how she really died
- Tahira Qazi was shot in head by militants while rescuing pupils, son says
- Ahmad Qazi, 23, said headmistress was walking children out of the school
- Posted message on Facebook 'clarifying' details on his mother's death
- Earlier reports suggested she hid in locked toilet while Taliban killed pupils
- Others confused her with Hifsa Khush - a fellow teacher who was burnt to death in front of her traumatised pupils
The
heartbroken son of the headmistress murdered in the Peshawar school
massacre has said she died 'saving the children' - not being burned
alive or blown up while hiding in in a locked toilet.
One
of the most horrific stories from the Peshawar school massacre was the
death of headmistress Tahira Qazi - who was slaughtered alongside nine
colleagues and 132 innocent children by the Taliban.
Early
reports claimed that Mrs Qazi was specifically targeted by the six
militants because she was married to a retired colonel in the Pakistani
army, and that she had fled her classroom and locked herself in a toilet
when she heard their gunshots.
Others confused her with a second female teacher, Hifsa Khush, who was burnt to death in front of her traumatised pupils.
But
now her son Ahmad, 23, has taken to social media to clarify the reports
- saying his mother was shot in the head by one of the six depraved
killed as she was shepherding children out of the besieged building so
they could escape certain death.
Proud mother: Tahira Qazi, the
principal of the Army Public School and College in Peshawar, with her
son, Ahmad, at his graduation ceremony in Peshawar.
It is believed Mrs Qazi (right) was targeted because she was married to a retired army colonel, Kazi Javaid
Clarify: Ahmad Qazi, 23, has taken to
say that his mother was shot in the head by one of the six depraved
killed as she was shepherding children out of the besieged building so
they could escape certain death
The
remains of Mrs Qazi's body are believed to have been found beneath a
pile of rubble after the ceiling and walls of her classroom collapsed.
Confusion
over exactly how she died led to rumours surfacing that he had been
hiding from the militants in a locked toilet when they blew the room to
pieces using a grenade.
Others
muddled her story up with that of fellow teacher Hifsa Khush, who was
horrifically burnt to death in front of her traumatised pupils.

But a
post on Ahmad Qazi's Facebook page clarified details of her death,
saying that burn marks on her body were inflicted after she died.
These, he said, were caused by an 'additional blast' rather than a hand grenade and that 'she was pretty much recognisable.'
The
statement ends with a plea from Qazi for the stories to be corrected,
urging people to share his Facebook status so that 'the right
information be taken to the people.'

Clarification
of Mrs Qazi's death came as the Taliban issued another statement on the
attack, claiming their aim had been to target the sons of a Pakistani
military officer.
Mohammad
Khorasani, the spokesman for Pakistan Taliban, claimed in a statement
issued to media: '[The] attack on the school in Peshawar was revenge for
the killing of its fighters and their families during on going military
operation in North Waziristan.'
One
of the commanders of Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan TTP also claimed in a
video message: 'If our women and children died as martyrs your children
will not escape.'
Pointing
towards the Pakistani military's ongoing operation in North Waziristan,
Khalifa Omar Mansoor - a Taliban commander believed by security forces
to have masterminded the attack, warned:' This is obvious if you will
attack us we will certainly go for a revenge for our families.'
Earlier
this week, pictures of a blood splattered doorway leading to an
auditorium and the scene of the final gun battle emerged. In a grim tour
of the building photographers were shown inside the auditorium.
The
floor is caked in blood in places and dozens of chairs lie in disarray,
knocked over by children running for cover as the terrorists hosed them
with bullets.
The
lucky ones, it transpired, survived by playing dead under these chairs
as the gunmen stalked the room, searching for children they'd missed.
As
people around the world united to condemn the attack, the Taliban
gloatingly published pictures of the fighters responsible for the
slaughter.
A series of chilling images shows them lined up with assault rifles and rocket launchers.

The
massacre led to calls for the death penalty to be restored. 'It was
decided that this moratorium should be lifted. The prime minister
approved,' said government spokesman Mohiuddin Wan, referring to Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif's approval of the decision by a ministerial
committee.
A moratorium on the death penalty was imposed in 2008 and only one execution has taken place since then.
The
government declared a three-day mourning period, starting on
Wednesday. The authorities also warned schools to be vigilant, as
intelligence has been received by police suggesting terrorists are
planning to attach magnetic bombs to school buses, according to Sky News.
Some
of the funerals were held overnight, but most of the 132 children and
10 school staff members killed in the attack were to be buried
Wednesday. Another 121 students and three staff members were wounded.
Some
of the critically wounded adults - members of the school staff - died
overnight, and authorities raised the overall death toll to 148.
Hundreds of people attended the funeral prayer for Mrs Qazi, held in a field of wheat crops.
Her son Ahmad, 23, said that he was proud of his mother.
As people around the world united to
condemn the attack, the Taliban gloatingly published pictures of the
men responsible for the slaughter

'She was more committed to the students of the school than her family,' he said.
Ahmad said that he last met her on Tuesday morning, for breakfast, the day she was killed and burnt alive.
He
told MailOnline: 'Her vehicle came late that day, so we talked about
different things. She was so happy for her students. She told me that
she would have a busy day ahead. She left home for school around 8:45
am.'
At around 10:45 he heard about the attack and tried to call her.
He
continued: 'I started trying her cell number but for an hour it
remained busy. I tried dozens of the time but couldn't reach her and
after an hour her cell turned off. Later her personal assistant (PA)
told me that she was busy talking to parents of the students. Her PA
told us that she had the opportunity to leave the school.'
Ehsan Elahi, 13, has revealed the horror he witnessed in the auditorium
Her
elder brother Kazi Karimullah, 67, who is a banker by profession, said
that she was a passionate, dedicated and committed person.
He
said: 'We were more friends than siblings. She was very sweet person.
She was very close to me. We used to meet almost everyday. This is true
that she used to give school more time than her home.
'She
had that smiling face. But I could not see her face for more than a
second after she was killed. It was so horrible. It was burnt and I
could not even imagine my sister in that shape. I could not dare see her
body more than once.'
Mother of three Tahira Kazi was very popular among her students, too.
'She
was not an angry principal but a very disciplined one,' said
18-year-old grade 12 APS student Muhammad Tajdar. 'I have never saw her
hitting a student or in an angry mood. She came to our class last time
on Thursday last week and asked us to focus on our studies.'
Tajdar was there when terrorists attacked the school.
He
said: 'I was on second floor of building with my class fellow when I
heard firing. I saw three young men clad in black uniform jumping the
back wall of the school. They were carrying guns and hand grenades. They
started firing the bullets straight to the students. We quickly got
into a classroom, locked the door and put chairs and benches in front of
the door.
'There
were at least 25 students in that classroom. We heard the cries of the
students and teachers but we stayed silent. We were shivering with
fear.'
Another
shocking account of the massacre came from 13-year-old survivor Ehsan
Elahi, an eighth grade student who was busy with his classmates learning
first aid training from army instructors at the main hall of the school
when he heard the sound of gunfire nearby.
He
told MailOnline: 'Our teachers and instructors asked us to calm down
but the sound of the bullets started came closer and closer. In the next
minute, the glass of windows and doors of the hall smashed with
bullets. Some people started kicking the hall doors.'
He said that situation created panic among the 100 students in the hall.
He
said: 'Everybody was trying to find a place to hide but there was not
such places in the hall. The students were crying and weeping. There
were only chairs and benches to hide behind in the hall. I jumped behind
a bench and laid on the ground.' He said the attackers burst in and
started 'spraying bullets like hell'.
The school has been left wrecked and desolate by the horrific gun and grenade rampage
Huge bullet holes are seen across the
wall of a classroom in the school in Peshawar. It took nine hours of
fighting to kill the fanatics
The markings reflected the horror that went on inside the school's walls during Tuesday's massacre
Gruesome: Some of the walls in the school are caked in blood - a chilling legacy of the massacre

The attack, which started around 10am yesterday, left 148 dead - 132 of them children
Chairs were turned over, as bullet holes adorned the walls in one of the rooms at the school
The bullet holes had shattered the
plaster around most of the school, reflecting the sheer horror which
happened during the attack
Elahi
continued: 'I saw army instructors falling on the ground first. I saw
many of my friends getting bullets on their heads, chests, arms and legs
right in front of me. Their body parts and blood were flying like small
pieces of cotton in the class room.
'Warm
blood and flesh of my friends fell on my face and other parts of my
body. It was horrible. They kept on firing bullets for at least 10
minutes and then stopped. It was a pause of a maximum of a minute. Next
moment, they started spraying bullets again towards those who were
crying with pain or moving. I also received two bullets on my right arm.
I wanted to cry with my full voice but I held my pain and did not cry
because it meant death.'
Elahi explained how his life was eventually saved by Pakistani soldiers.
He
said: 'They were not ready to leave alive even a single person present
in the hall. After around 15 minutes, we heard some bullets shots from
outside. I think army soldiers reached the school by that time and they
fired those bullets. This diverted the attention of the attackers. They
ran out from the hall. But, I did not move or cried for next 10 minutes
unless army men came to rescue us.
'The
hall has turned to pool of blood and death. Human blood, flesh and body
parts were scattered everywhere. I saw lifeless faces of many of my
friends when I was leaving the hall. Their faces are still in front of
my eyes.'
Images of the aftermath of the attack reveal something of its horror, with some parts of the school completely ruined

More
horrifying accounts have emerged of another female teacher being burned
alive as she courageously stood in the path of the terrorists and told
her children to run for their lives.
Afsha
Ahmed, 24, confronted the marauding gunmen when they burst into her
classroom and told them: 'You can only kill my students over my dead
body.'
The militants doused her with petrol and set her alight, but she still mustered the strength to beckon her pupils to flee.
Hifsa Khush is thought to have been burned alive in front of her pupils after being doused in petrol.
One of her students, 15-year-old Irfan Ullah, wept as he recalled her incredible bravery.
He said: 'She was a hero, so brave.
'She jumped up and stood between us and the terrorists before they could target us.
'She
warned them: 'You can only kill them over my dead body'. I remember her
last words - she said: 'I won't see my students lying in blood on the
floor'.'
Irfan,
who suffered serious injuries to his chest and stomach in the chaos,
said he hoped Mrs Ahmed would forgive him for not trying to protect her
and for any mistakes he ever made in class.
'I
felt so selfish as we ran away to safe our lives instead of trying to
save our teacher who sacrificed her life for our better tomorrow,' he
added.
Another teacher, Hifsa Khush, is also thought to have been burned alive in front of her pupils after being doused in petrol.
Prayer
vigils were held across the nation and in other schools, students spoke
of their shock at the carnage in Peshawar, where seven Taliban gunmen,
explosives strapped to their bodies, scaled a back wall using a ladder
to get into the military-run establishment in the morning hours on
Tuesday.
REVEALED: THE BLOODTHIRSTY TALIBAN LEADER DUBBED 'RADIO MULLAH' BEHIND PAKISTANI SCHOOL MASSACRE - WHO ALSO ORDERED MALALA HIT
The
bloody slaughter of 132 children at a school in Pakistan yesterday was
ordered by Maulana Fazlullah - the head of the country's Taliban terror
group and a man whose previous crimes include ordering the murder of
teenage education campaigner Malala Yousafzai.
The
firebrand militant, whose thick black beard reaches halfway down his
chest, took control of the Pakistani Taliban 13 months ago, and it is
thought yesterday's massacre may have been his barbaric revenge for
Malala, 17, being award the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this year.
Whatever his twisted motive, Fazlullah has succeeded in uniting the world in revulsion once again.
Terror leader: Maulana Fazlullah - the
firebrand militant, whose thick black beard reaches halfway down his
chest - took control of the Pakistani Taliban 13 months ago
Born
Fazal Hayat in 1974 in the Swat Valley, Fazlullah is a member of
the Yousafzai tribe - the same group of ethnic Pashtuns from which
Malala takes her surname.
Aged
18 he became the leader of the local terror group
Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi after its leadership was decimated
by arrests following the September 11 attacks in New York.
In
the hope of cementing his legitimacy as leader, Fazlullah married the
daughter of Sufi Muhammad, who founded
Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi in 2002. Rumours that his henchmen
kidnapped the bride and forced her to marry him have dogged Fazlullah
ever since.
While
in jail, Muhammad ordered Fazlullah to adopt his new name and sent him
reams of radical Islamic literature designed to assist and guide his son
in law.
By
the time Muhammad was released from prison in 2008, Fazlullah's
leadership was secure enough for its founder not to resume control.
Later
that year Fazlullah allied Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi with
the Pakistani Taliban, and he started taking direct orders from Taliban
leader Hakimullah Mehsud.
This relationship would allow Fazlullah to become increasingly close to senior figures in the terror group.
While
taking orders from the Pakistani Taliban, Fazlullah controlled more
than 4,000 fighters - helping him to effectively run a parallel
government in the Swat Valley and impose strict Sharia law across 57
villages.
It
was while governing the Swat Valley that Fazlullah began using FM radio
stations to broadcast his firebrand sermons in the area, earning him
the nickname Radio Mullah.
His
rantings about 'sins' such as television, music, and computers were
deemed compulsory listening among the villagers as the Taliban imposed a
rigorous version of Islamic law, publicly beheading and flogging
wrongdoers and burning schools.
Rise to power: Maulana Fazlullah was
elected as head of the Pakistani Taliban after the death in a U.S. drone
strike of long-term leader Hakimullah Mehsud (pictured centre in brown
hat)
In
2012 Fazlullah ordered the death of Malala Yousafzai - the teenage
education campaigner who almost died when a masked gunman in Swat Valley
jumped into a vehicle taking girls home from school and shouted 'Who is
Malala?' before shooting her in the head.
Last
November Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud was killed by a U.S. drone
strike, leading to the Taliban's supreme council electing Fazlullah as
its new head.
Since
then, the militant has specialised in the kind attention grabbing
savagery that deflects attention away from the Taliban's declining
influence in Swat Valley, which has been eroded by bitter feuds with
local clans - including the traditionally dominant Mehsud tribe.
Fazlullah
has also found his power reined in by the Pakistani military's fresh
push into the Taliban's former North Waziristan stronghold.
In
September Fazlullah also declared the Taliban's support for the Islamic
State and vowed to send fighters to assist the terror group as it was
wages bloody war in Syria and Iraq.
Yesterday's
brutal massacre of schoolchildren is widely seen as an attempt
by Fazlullah to prove to his rivals that the Taliban is still a relevant
force.
The
strategy may not be particularly well thought out, however, as it is
only likely to add to the tribal divisions that have drastically
weakened the group over the past year.

The
attack was the deadliest slaughter of innocents in the country and
horrified a nation already weary of unending terrorist assaults.
Army commandos fought the Taliban in a day-long battle until the school was cleared and the attackers dead.
'They
finished in minutes what I had lived my whole life for, my son,' said
laborer Akhtar Hussain, tears streaming down his face as he buried his
14-year-old, Fahad. He said he had worked for years in Dubai to earn a
livelihood for his children.
'That
innocent one is now gone in the grave, and I can't wait to join him, I
can't live anymore,' he wailed, banging his fists against his head.
'The attackers came around 10:30 a.m. on a pick-up van,' said Issam Uddin, a 25-year-old school bus driver.
'They
drove it around the back of the school and set it on fire to block the
way. Then they went to Gate 1 and killed a soldier, a gatekeeper and a
gardener. Firing began and the first suicide attack took place.'
The
Taliban said the attack was revenge for a military offensive against
their safe havens in the northwest, along the border with Afghanistan,
which began in June. Analysts said the school siege showed that even
diminished, the militant group still could inflict horrific carnage.

The
attack drew swift condemnation from around the world. President Barack
Obama said the 'terrorists have once again showed their depravity.'
Pakistan's
teenage Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai - herself a survivor of a
Taliban shooting - said she was 'heartbroken' by the bloodshed.
Even Taliban militants in neighboring Afghanistan decried the killing spree, calling it 'un-Islamic.'
Pakistani
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif pledged to step up the campaign that -
along with U.S. drone strikes - has targeted the militants.
'We
will take account of each and every drop of our children's blood,' said
Sharif, who rushed to Peshawar shortly after the attack to offer
support for the victims.
At
a top-level meeting in Peshawar he said: 'We must not forget these
scenes. The way they left bullet holes in the bodies of innocent kids,
the way they tore apart their faces with bullets.'
Sharif
said he spoke to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani late Tuesday to discuss
how both countries could do more to fight terrorism. The two agreed to
launch fresh operations on their respective sides of the border, he
said, and pledged to 'clean this region from terrorism.'
In
neighboring India, which has long accused Pakistan of supporting
anti-India guerrillas, schools on Wednesday observed two minutes of
silence for the Peshawar victims at the urging of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, who called the attack 'a senseless act of unspeakable
brutality.'
Ziauddin Yousafzai, Pakistani diplomat and the father of Malala Yousafzai, told the BBC Today programme that his family was traumatised by the atrocity.
He said: 'Yesterday we heard about this horrible news, my whole family was in trauma. It is the extreme of extremism.
'I can imagine how much sadness, terror and horror those families will be passing through now.
'Yesterday
my wife had a fit, she went into unconsciousness for five to 10
minutes. I have never seen my daughter so sad and upset as I saw her
yesterday.
'Schools
should be safe places for children. I am afraid that if they [Taliban]
are not countered, we may see more horrible things in future.'
