The Haskells were coming home from a safari vacation in Uganda and were on layover in Amsterdam on Christmas. While sitting on the floor waiting to board, Mr. Haskell said he noticed something unusual.

An Indian man who "looked wealthy and was dressed in a nice suit" approached the ticket counter with a young man.

"They looked like an odd couple because the Indian man was dressed so nice and the person, who I thought was a teen, was a scraggly dressed black guy," Mr. Haskell said. "... The Indian man said he needed to get (the Nigerian man) on the plane, but he had no passport."

Mr. Haskell, 38, said the Indian man told the woman at the ticket counter that "the man was from Sudan and that it was typical (to let him on the plane without a passport)."

The young man was sent down the hall to talk with a manager. A few minutes later, passengers boarded the plane bound for Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

First we have the very obvious problems with the mainstream narrative. How is it that Ted Kennedy can't get on an airplane but a Nigerian national can get an multiple entry visa to the United States? What are we to make of reports that a well-dressed man helped Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab board the plane without a passport? Finally, what of the fact that Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab's father reported that he was becoming more interested in Islamic terrorist groups, and that he had been placed on a federal watch list for such people?

"There must be an agenda," suggested Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) in a recent video message to supporters.

"It seems ironic that there is so much excitement about this and now talk about attacking Yemen," he said, noting recent bombing raids by Saudi forces, carried out with the explicit blessing of the United States.

"The Saudis are our close allies," Paul explained. "We provide them with the weapons and the airplanes and we did sanction and endorse the bombing of Yemen."

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