Tom Valentine Radio Program 11/25: WTC frame-up conspiracy Dick Eastman interview source messages
Dick Eastman
--------
Item #1:
The FBI offices on the 23rd floor of the North Tower were bombed to prevent
agents from removing grand jury evidence stored there following the jet
crashbombings. Evidence for this was given on the CBS news program 60
Minutes, although CBS seems unaware of its implications.
"Steve," from Main, who recorded the broadcast, has given me, over the phone
and into my tape recorder, his recording of a segment of the CBS interview.
Here is my careful transcription (lots of "rewind" and "play" buttonwork) of
that recording.
Steve's intro: This is a segment of the 60 minutes report, mid-October.
They're interviewing the Chief of Security for the World Center Towers. The
60 Minutes reporter is doing the interview of George Tabeek [phonetic
spelling of audio -- could be "Tabeak," etc.] They are talking about him and
a fire fighter named Andy Desparino.
(Steve starts his vhs recording with his phone held to the speaker):
Reporter:
...In another part of the tower George Tabeek got a call that three Port
Authroity workers were trapped in command center on the 22nd floor.
Tabeek (fuzzy sound-- as if dubbed in from an edited-for broadcast phone
interview):
I said, "Stay calm, I'll be up there." I went to the battalion chief; he
assigned a lieutenant -- it's all I know is his first name, his first name
was Andy ...
Reporter (clear sound-- not phone interview):
Andy Desparino of Engine Company One
Tabeek:
And worked our way all the way up to the twenty-second floor
Reporter (fuzzy -- phone interview clip again):
Are people going down?
Tabeek:
People were coming down. I was telling them, "Please be calm" walk to the
left
Reporter (clear -- with jet impact sound in background during first
sentence):
What George Tabeek didn't know was that a second jet had just struck tower
seven (sic) And when they reached the twenty-second floor of Tower One
Desperino and his men tunneled through the debris and opened up a path for
those trapped inside. Helen Reese, meanwhile, was at another Port
Authority Command Center talking to those unable to get down from the upper
floors ...
(end of excerpt)
Clearly a bomb went off 50 floors below where the first plane hit
North Tower, on the 23rd floor. This planted bomb collapsed the
ceiling of the 22nd floor. No records would be saved from the
FBI offices.
Item #2:
The hijackers, never suspecting a suicide mission, were "stung," by Mossad
infiltrators posing as leaders with orders from bin Ladin -- who gave them
the right passwords and instructions setting the hijacking in motion -- but
then, when the the hijacking was underway took remote control of the
planes. making turning them into cruise missiles.
I am convinced that no one was knowingly on a WTC suicide mission. The
planes were all taken over by remote control after hijackings wre begun..
And it was not the first time that a passenger jet was crashed by remote
sabotage --
EgyptAir 990 was crashed in a "test" for the WTC, on Halloween, 11/31/99.
Exactly two years ago, the American Halloween, EgyptAir flight 990,
a giant Boeing 767 took off from New York bound for Cairo Egypt with 100
Americans and 87 Egyptians aboard.
The takeoff had been successful and routine, but at one half hour into the
flight, at 1;48;30 ----at a moment when the pilot left the controls for a
trip to the toilet and the co-pilot was left in the cockpit alone -- an
English voice can be heard on the black box recorder saying "control it"
The co-pilot was Egyptian and spoke Egyptian in all of the recording.
ne must conclude that someone was listening, overheard the captain say
he was leaving the cockpit, then gave the order to take over control of the
plane, because, the recording indicates, suddenly, control of the plane
taken from him, i.e., the cockpit controls were bing overridden. -- After
some seconds the
co-pilot, reacting to his losse of control to a phantom controller, says,
the Arabic equivalent of "God help us," "My trust is in God" or "In your
keeping, Lord" --"Tawakkalt ala Allah.")
The co-pilot then disengaged the auto-pilot to restore control. Cockpit
control was not restored. The co-pilot again said a prayer when the
elevators dropped
putting the plane into a dive. After sixteen seconds of this dive the
Captain returned to the cockpit asking "What happening? Whats happening?"
Captain and co-pilot were presumably working to pull out of the dive, but
the controls were not responding and now the throttles still under phantom
control, turned up to full forward -- at which point the co-pilot reacted
by cutting the fuel lines. Then, still by phantom control, the right and
left elevators each moved all the way in the opposite directions and the
ailerons on both wings both went fully up. The pilot cried "Get away in the
engines! Shut the engines!" To which the co-pilot
replied, "It's shut." The last words are of the captain frantically
instructing "Pull! Let's pull! Let's pull!" At this point something shut off
the instrument recorders (or they were later erased).
The American agency investigators, over strenuous Egyptian objections,
concluded that the co-pilot pilot committed suicide!!!???? The Egyptians --
who understand the language, insist that suicide is an impossible and
absurd interpretation of last moments of conversation recorded or of the
earlier conversation at takeoff.
------
Take that with the news reported by Don van Natta Jr.and Kate Zernike in the
11/04/01 New York Times that according to an F.B.I. official, the prayers
found at the crash site "exort the foot soldiers to be strong in prison."
In the face of this no reasonable man, given the little we know at the
moment, could possibley dismiss the possibility that the hijackers, never
suspecting a suicide mission, were "stung," by infiltrators posing as
leaders with orders from bin Ladin -- who gave them the right passwords and
instructions setting a non-suicide attention-seeking hijacking in motion --
but then, when the the hijacking was underway these sting agents took remote
control of the planes. making turning them into cruise missiles as part of a
gigantic geopolitical frame-up.

Subject: Th E-6 and EgyptAir more history
Date: Thu, Nov 22, 2001, 6:26 am
Dick ... I've been following the capability and uses of the E-6 for a
while.
It is especially highlighted in the military's plans for electronic
OFFENSIVE
warfare in future and current emerging operations. ....... Some of the
psyops
that I have mentioned to you that I have been studying (but, haven't
detailed) could well be effected by the E-6. Those psyops have continued at
various intensities from the period during the Clinton administration to now
through Bush's. My last observation of its appearance in local broadcast
media was last night. The loss of the Navy's plane on our west coast near
Forks a few days back also was from this same Navy specialization, I think.
The offensive capabilities of the E-6 are amazing: they include not only
blocking broadcast signals, but replacing them, with some of it capable of
being replaced in real time/instant insertion of messages -- either by
theme,
direct processes, or subliminal or hidden insertions.
On your several excellent postings on 'no hijackers', I had been thinking
along those lines too, especially after being reminded of the advances in
remote piloting. The senior flight attendant that called into her base
giving
seat numbers of the hijackers that were different from those officially
announced, also stands out.
On Egypt Air 900, I was active in several newsgroups that dealt with that
early on. The most telling piece of that event for me was the TWO
unscheduled landings it had made and the unusually elite passenger list that
included Egyptian military leadership. It not only stopped at Vandenberg AFB
and took on passengers, but it was also reported on EARLY national broadcast
news, that it made another unscheduled stop prior to NYC. That stop, which
was later mentioned as a mistake and resulting from confusion of airport
city codes, quickly becoming vanished and non-history. That second stop was
Andrews AFB.
........... While the official story of suicide actions by the copilot
always
felt fictional, your suggestion that it could have been a rehearsal/actual
use
of remote piloting/hijacking, is most instructive.

World Trade Center
Sat, 3 Nov 2001 17:05:54 -0600
So just who WAS on those aircraft?
The government could point their finger at any one of us next!!
In the rush to sell an invasion of Afghanistan, our government and media
have been waving a bunch of middle eastern faces at us on the TV; photos of
the dangerous hijackers who ploughed their stolen aircraft into the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon. Flight 93 was supposedly flown by Captain
Saeed al-Ghamdi and a second hijacker named Bukhari, while Abdulrahman
al-Omari was supposed to be at the controls of flight 11. Going from these
suspects, links are being created to point the finger of blame at various
targets, including but not limited to Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, etc. Ah, but
the best laid plans gang aft aglay and there's a problem! Mr. al-Omari, a
pilot with Saudi Airlines, just walked into the US embassy in Jeddah to
demand why he was being reported as a dead hijacker in the American media.
Likewise Mr. al-Ghamdi is still alive and well and at his job for Tunis Air,
while Mr. Bukhari has been dead for two years now, according to the Saudi
Gazette in a story dated September 18th, 2001.
In a recent development, the BBC is reporting that the transcript of a phone
call made by Flight Attendant Madeline Amy Sweeney to Boston air traffic
controls shows that the flight attendant gave the seat numbers occupied by
the hijackers, seat numbers which were NOT the seats of the men the FBI
claimed were responsible for the hijacking!
Even CNN is now reporting that the men who hijacked those aircraft were
using phony IDs, using the names of real people still living in Arab nations
in the middle east.
So, one fact is now apparent. If those who hijacked those airplanes were
using stolen identities, then we don't know who they were or who they worked
for. We can't. It's impossible.
Now, people who are intending to commit suicide normally don't worry about
whether anyone knows their real name, and it is here that some other odd
aspects of this case take on a new meaning.
We are told that the group that planned and carried out the hijackings and
subsequent attack on the World Trade Towers were highly trained (possibly by
the CIA) experts, with knowledge of how to steal identities, forge fake IDs,
and compromise White House and Air Force One security codes.
Yet at the same time, we are being told that these same hijackers spent the
night before the attack getting drunk in bars, making noise, screaming
insults at the "infidels", and doing everything they could to attract
attention to themselves. They used the credit cards issued in their stolen
names, allowed their driver's licenses with the stolen names to be
photocopied, and used public library computers to send emails back and forth
using their stolen names signed to unencrypted messages about their plans to
steal aircraft and crash them into buildings, then decorated their
apartments with
absurdly obvious props such as a crop dusting manual to the point where
the whole affair reads like a low budget "B" detective movie from the 1930s.
In short, these men did everything they could to make sure everyone knew
who they were, or more to the point, who they were pretending to be.
Because the IDs used by the hijackers were phony, we cannot know who
they really were or who they really worked for. But what is apparent is that
those who planned the hijackings and the attacks on the World Trade Towers
went out of their way to leave plenty of clues pointing to citizens of Arab
nations of the middle east.

Finding the Real Source of Sept. 11
Dr. Aleksandr Nemets and Dr. Thomas Torda
Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2001
A month has passed since the Sept. 11 strikes.
The world's focus has been on Osama bin Laden and his network -- but the
connections to Russia and China exist and need more investigation.
A Chinese military handbook advised the use of civilian airline jets as
"flying bombs" -- and evidence has surfaced about Russian "mafia" ties to
bin Laden.
The best brains in the world have done their best to try to solve the puzzle
of who carried out these strikes and who organized them.
The situation has gradually become clearer, though much is still hidden in
darkness.
It would be senseless to claim that only one person (Osama bin Laden) and
one organization (al-Qaida) are responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks.
It would be more accurate to say that the entire world terrorist community,
with tens of thousands of active fighters and scores of ringleaders, is
behind the strikes.
Can one deny the possible participation of Palestinian terrorists in these
strikes?
Or underground fundamentalists from Algeria and Egypt?
Or terrorist groups originating in the secret services of Iran and Iraq?
Some experts even claim that bin Laden is a "stooge," or scapegoat, who
deliberately elicits retaliatory strikes on himself, thus providing
safety -- and opportunities for preparing new strikes on the U.S. and
Western Europe -- for other terrorist groups and ringleaders.
Eliminating the entire world terrorist community would be the proper
solution to this puzzle.
The current U.S.-led military campaign in Afghanistan can solve -- in the
best case -- perhaps 10 percent of this problem.
This campaign, however, could have important benefits; in particular,
Uzbekistan will enter the West's sphere of influence and Sino-Russian
control over Central Asia will seriously diminish.
Still, two main problems remain: the extermination of the world terrorist
community and the destruction of its rear-support facilities, which provide
terrorist groups with money, expertise and sophisticated technology.
The second problem could be even more serious than the first one.
The Sept. 11 strikes were truly sophisticated.
They differ greatly from the terrorists' usual handwriting, which we have
observed for many years all over the world and can observe on a daily basis
now in Israeli-held Palestinian lands.
The usual strikes of this kind are comparatively primitive and mostly of
limited scale: suicide bombings, aircraft hijackings, hostage-taking, etc.
There is no comparison between such actions and the well-organized, precise,
large-scale strikes of Sept. 11.
There is the deep impression that these strikes were prepared at some very
sophisticated secret bases deep in the rear of the terrorist community, in
an absolutely safe environment inaccessible to any retaliatory strikes, and
by experts with very high qualifications.
In particular, these experts had comprehensive knowledge of Pentagon air
defense and the entire U.S. air defense system.
In short, these facilities and experts are far beyond the level of the usual
bases and operatives of the world terrorist community.
Facts build a bridge from this impression to certain logical conclusions.
U.S. Attacks Based on Chinese Book
According to New York-based Shijie ribao (World Journal, Oct. 5, 2001) and
Japan's Evening Fuji (Oct. 4, 2001), Japanese security organs have decided
that the Sept. 11 strikes were based, with very high probability, on the
ideas presented in the book "Unrestricted Warfare," published in 1999 by
China's People's Liberation Army (PLA).
This book, describing "asymmetrical" and other unconventional warfare
tactics that can be used by terrorists, was written by two PLA air force
senior colonels (i.e., brigadier generals), Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui.
Almost immediately after the Sept. 11 strikes the Japanese Security Bureau
acquired this book in Beijing and began analyzing it.
The book considers the United States to be the major potential enemy of
China.
Its goal is to find the full range of warfare techniques (financial,
psychological, commercial, etc.) capable of providing a country with limited
military potential but strong state oversight (i.e., China) with an
effective resistance against -- or even victory over -- the strongest world
army (i.e., U.S. armed forces).
According to the analysis of the Japanese Security Bureau, the book contains
"useful recipes" for those who intend to cause maximum harm to a developed
nation.
These recipes include hijacking of civilian aircraft and transforming them
into "flying bombs" for attacking the most important population centers and
facilities such as nuclear power plants.
After reading the book, Chinese President Jiang Zemin in February 2000
stated that "future digitized forces will be the key in a [coming] war.
China cannot lag behind here."
In late September 2001, the two authors of "Unrestricted Warfare" issued a
statement: "The September 11 strikes showed how vulnerable the U.S. is,
despite its military might, and how many weak points the U.S. defense system
contains."
This statement probably further fueled the interest of the Japanese Security
Bureau in this book.
Involvement of Russian Mafia
Let us look for other facts -- or the link. On Sept. 28 the Washington Times
published the following report (excerpted here):
U.S. intelligence agencies have uncovered information that Russian criminal
groups have been supplying Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terrorist
network with components for chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Bin
Laden has worked with Russian mafia groups in obtaining components for
weapons of mass destruction, according to officials familiar with the
intelligence reports. The contacts between the mafia and bin Laden could be
related to drug trafficking and such cooperation would not be surprising.
The Russian Foreign Ministry immediately responded with alarm: "Why should
such information be splashed on newspaper pages instead of being discussed
through the channels existing between our countries, including confidential
ones?"
And "One may get the impression that some in the United States oppose the
positive tendency in Russian-American relations that has made itself felt
recently."
That reaction is understandable: The Russian Foreign Ministry actively
participated in a smoke-screen campaign organized by some Moscow-based
pro-Kremlin media immediately after the Sept. 11 strikes.
And the question "Whom to believe: the U.S. intelligence community or the
Russian Foreign ministry?" is a rhetorical one. The same goes for the
question "Could some expertise used in the Sept. 11 strikes have originated
in Russia?"
The more serious question is the following: What is the real reason for the
Russian Foreign Ministry to defend the Russian mafia?
First, the mafia is the real boss of Russia, and a defense of the mafia is,
in reality, a defense of the Russian ruling system and the Russian
establishment.
Second, the close ties of the Russian secret intelligence services and mafia
are well-known.
In fact, it is impossible for the mafia to transfer any weapons of mass
destruction (WMD) technology or related expertise abroad without the
approval -- or even support -- of the secret services.
The Foreign Ministry is possibly trying to protect the most sensitive top
secrets of Moscow and the Kremlin.
So, there is one link to China's PLA, and a second link to the Russian mafia
and secret services. However, let us look for some additional facts.
Asymmetrical Warfare
In 1998, Russian military experts began using the expression "asymmetrical
warfare," i.e., advanced warfare of a special kind providing a
"comparatively weak country" with the opportunity to prevail in battle with
a "strong enemy" (read the U.S. and its allies).
According to available data, much of this "asymmetrical warfare" can be
effectively used -- after proper training -- by terrorist groups also.
Almost instantly, asymmetrical warfare became an object of great interest to
the PLA. In particular, interest in asymmetrical war fighting techniques can
be readily found in the book "Unrestricted Warfare."
In 1999-2000, along with the forging of the Sino-Russian alliance, China and
Russia initiated joint research and development programs for dozens of items
related to "21st century warfare," including new-generation missiles,
fighters, space warfare, information warfare and asymmetrical warfare.
In these projects, the Chinese side usually provides the money, while the
Russian side provides the research facilities and specialists. New military
technologies developed on Russian soil are later used both in the PLA and
the Russian army.
In May-September 2001, Chinese media, including the official Jiefangjun Bao
(PLA Daily) and authoritative magazine Liaowang, published several articles
describing recent Russian achievements in "sixth generation warfare" and
stressing the PLA's need to master this new "super-advanced warfare of the
21st century."
This sixth-generation warfare includes smart missiles (among them, "smart"
modifications to the Topol SS-27 ICBM and X-101 strategic land-attack cruise
missile), space warfare (new generation spy satellites and anti-satellite
weapons), information warfare (including computer viruses and other smart
tools to penetrate an enemy's computer networks) and asymmetrical warfare.
The "rear base facilities" of the world terrorist community are still in the
dark, but we already know something about the new direction the
investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks should take.
In particular, this investigation should provide answers to the following
questions:
(1) How does it happen that Dr. Koryagina, one of the Russian government's
top economic advisers, knew so much about the forthcoming strikes as early
as July?
(2) What is the role of the Moscow-based "Eurasia" movement, whose goal is
to "liberate Europe and Asia from American hegemony"? This movement, having
close ties with both the KGB and Islamic fundamentalists, is headed by Gleb
Pavlovsky, President Putin's major strategist.

Since there is no such entity as 'the public,' since the public is merely a
number of individuals, the idea that 'the public interest' supersedes
private interests and rights can have but one meaning: that the interests

of others.

Well, no he didn't really say that -- in fact he indicates that he did not.
I found the interview on www.rense.com. It does not exactly say what
somesay claim hesays, viz., "Bin Laden just admitted to orchestrating the
entire
attack."
OBL says he found out that Moslems were involved from the U.S. media.

Interview With OBL His
Claim To Have Nuclear Weapons
By Hamid Mir
11-10-1
KABUL, November 9 - Osama bin Laden has said that "we have chemical and
nuclear weapons as a deterrent and if America used them against us we
reserve the right to use them".
He said this in a special interview with Hamid Mir, the editor of Ausaf, for
Dawn and Ausaf, at an undisclosed location near Kabul.
This was the first interview given by Osama to any journalist after the
September 11 attacks in New York and Washington.
The correspondent was taken blindfolded in a jeep from Kabul on the night of
Nov 7 to a place where it was extremely cold and one could hear the sound of
anti-aircraft guns firing away. After a wait of some time , Osama arrived
with about a dozen bodyguards and Dr Ayman Al-Zuwahiri and answered
questions.
Hamid Mir: After American bombing (began) on Afghanistan on Oct 7, you told
the Al-Jazeera TV that the Sept 11 attacks had been carried out by some
Muslims. How did you know they were Muslims ?
Osama bin Laden: The Americans themselves released a list of the suspects of
the Sept 11 attacks, saying that the persons named were involved in the
attacks. They were all Muslims, of whom 15 belonged to Saudi Arabia, two
were from the UAE and one from Egypt. According to the information I have,
they were all passengers.Fateha was held for them in their homes. But
America said they were hijackers.
HM: In your statement of Oct 7, you expressed satisfaction over the Sept 11
attacks, although a large number of innocent people perished in them,
hundreds among them were Muslims. Can you justify the killing of innocent
men in the light of Islamic teachings ?
OBL: This is a major point in jurisprudence. In my view, if an enemy
occupies a Muslim territory and uses common people as human shield, then it
is permitted to attack that enemy. For instance, if bandits barge into a
home and hold a child hostage, then the child's father can attack the
bandits and in that attack even the child may get hurt.
America and its allies are massacring us in Palestine, Chechenya, Kashmir
and Iraq. The Muslims have the right to attack America in reprisal. The
Islamic Shariat says Muslims should not live in the land of the infidel for
long. The Sept 11 attacks were not targeted at women and children. The real
targets were America's icons of military and economic power.
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was against killing women and children.
When he saw a dead woman during a war, he asked why was she killed? If a
child is above 13 and wields a weapon against Muslims, then it is permitted
to kill him.
The American people should remember that they pay taxes to their government,
they elect their president, their government manufactures arms and gives
them to Israel and Israel uses them to massacre Palestinians. The American
Congress endorses all government measures and this proves that the entire
America is responsible for the atrocities perpetrated against Muslims. The
entire America, because they elect the Congress.
I ask the American people to force their government to give up anti-Muslim
policies. The American people had risen against their government's war in
Vietnam. They must do the same today. The American people should stop the
massacre of Muslims by their government.
HM: Can it be said that you are against the American government, not the
American people ?
OBL: Yes! We are carrying on the mission of our Prophet, Muhammad (peace be
upon him). The mission is to spread the word of God, not to indulge
massacring people. We ourselves are the target of killings, destruction and
atrocities. We are only defending ourselves. This is defensive Jihad. We
want to defend our people and our land. That is why I say that if we don't
get security, the Americans, too would not get security.
This is a simple formula that even an American child can understand. This is
the formula of live and let live.
HM: The head of Egypt's Jamia Al-Azhar has issued a fatwa (edict) against
you, saying that the views and beliefs of Osama bin Laden have nothing to do
with Islam. What do you have to say about that ?
OBL: The fatwa of any official Aalim has no value for me. History is full of
such Ulema who justify Riba, who justify the occupation of Palestine by the
Jews, who justify the presence of American troops around Harmain Sharifain.
These people support the infidels for their personal gain.The true Ulema
support the Jihad against America. Tell me if Indian forces invaded Pakistan
what would you do? The Israeli forces occupy our land and the American
troops are on our territory. We have no other option but to launch Jihad.
HM: Some Western media claim that you are trying to acquire chemical and
nuclear weapons. How much truth is there in such reports?
OBL: I heard the speech of American President Bush yesterday . He was
scaring the European countries that Osama wanted to attack with weapons of
mass destruction. I wish to declare that if America used chemical or nuclear
weapons against us, then we may retort with chemical and nuclear weapons. We
have the weapons as deterrent.
HM: Where did you get these weapons from ?
OBL: Go to the next question.
HM: Demonstrations are being held in many European countries against
American attacks on Afghanistan. Thousands of the protesters were
non-Muslims. What is your opinion about those non-Muslim protesters ?
OBL: There are many innocent and good-hearted people in the West. American
media instigates them against Muslims. However, some good-hearted people are
protesting against American attacks because human nature abhors injustice.
The Muslims were massacred under the UN patronage in Bosnia. I am ware that
some officers of the State Department had resigned in protest. Many years
ago the US ambassador in Egypt had resigned in protest against the policies
of President Jimmy Carter. Nice and civilized are everywhere. The Jewish
lobby has taken America and the West hostage.
HM: Some people say that war is no solution to any issue. Do you think that
some political formula could be found to stop the present war ?
OBL: You should put this question to those who have started this war. We are
only defending ourselves.
HM: If America got out of Saudi Arabia and the Al-Aqsa mosque was liberated,
would you then present yourself for trial in some Muslim country ?
OBL: Only Afghanistan is an Islamic country. Pakistan follows the English
law. I don't consider Saudi Arabia an Islamic country. If the Americans have
charges against me, we too have a charge sheet against them.
HM: Pakistan government decided to cooperate with America after Sept 11,
which you don't consider right. What do you think Pakistan should have done
but to cooperate with America ?
OBL: The government of Pakistan should have the wishes of the people in
view. It should not have surrendered to the unjustified demands of America.
America does not have solid proof against us. It just has some surmises. It
is unjust to start bombing on the basis of those surmises.
HM: Had America decided to attack Pakistan with the help of India and
Israel, what would have we done ?
OBL: What has America achieved by attacking Afghanistan ? We will not leave
the Pakistani people and the Pakistani territory at anybody's mercy.
We will defend Pakistan. But we have been disappointed by Gen Pervez
Musharraf. He says that the majority is with him. I say the majority is
against him.
Bush has used the word crusade. This is a crusade declared by Bush. It is no
wisdom to barter off blood of Afghan brethren to improve Pakistan's economy.
He will be punished by the Pakistani people and Allah.
Right now a great war of Islamic history is being fought in Afghanistan. All
the big powers are united against Muslims. It is 'sawab' to participate in
this war.
HM: A French newspaper has claimed that you had kidney problem and had
secretly gone to Dubai for treatment last year. Is that correct ?
OBL: My kidneys are all right. I did not go to Dubai last year. One British
newspaper has published an imaginary interview with Islamabad dateline with
one of my sons who lives in Saudi Arabia. All this is false.
HM: Is it correct that a daughter of Mulla Omar is your wife or your
daughter is Mulla Omar's wife ?
OBL: (Laughs). All my wives are Arabs (and all my daughters are married to
Arab Mujahideen). I have spiritual relationship with Mulla Omar. He is a
great and brave Muslim of this age. He does not fear anyone but Allah. He is
not under any personal relationship or obligation to me. He is only
discharging his religious duty. I, too, have not chosen this life out of any
personal consideration.

"Let me go back for a moment to Bishop Wilson who says, 'First, never go
against the best light you have. Secondly, take care that your light be not
darkness.' We show as a nation, laudable energy and persistence in walking
according to the best light we have, but are not quite careful enough,
perhaps, to see that our light be not darkness. This is only another
version of the old story that energy is our strongpoint and favorable
characteristic rather than intelligence."
--Mathew Arnold
"But what is right and wrong? No one can stamp any deed as right or wrong.
But there is a natural sense in man which distinguishes between right and
wrong, just and unjust, a sense which is to be found even in a child. ...
Very often a man is apt to think that it is study and meditation and prayer
which alone can bring him to the way; but it must be understood that action
also plays an important part. Few indeed know what effect every action has
upon one's life, what power a right action can give, and what effect a wrong
action can have. Man is only on the lookout for what others think of his
actions, instead of being concerned with what God thinks of them. ... The
man who makes God his beloved, what more does he want? His heart becomes
awakened to all the beauty there is within and without. To him, God is
all-in-all; to him, God is everywhere. If he goes to the Christian church
or to the Jewish synagogue, to the Buddhist temple, to the Hindu shrine, or
to the Moslem mosque, there is God. In the wilderness, in the forest, in
the crowd, everywhere he sees God."
--Hazrat Inayat Khan
"And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but
speak and hold not thy peace; for I am with thee and no man shall set on
thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city."

The U.S. pentagon military in Afganistan are, we must begin to admit,
nothing but mercenaries killing for Anglo-American
opium-revenue-laundering-oil-wealth
stealing/monopolizing-secret-society-networked ruling-elite criminals -- and
so
our airmen and soldiers are functioning exactly as the "Hessian" mercenaries
King George III hired and George Washington had to fight during our
Revolutionary War.
The slash and burn foreign policy of Secretary Powell, Security Adviser
Rice, and President Bush serves the CFR ("Rockefeller") interests while
their stated target, the innocent frame-up victim they seek "dead or dead,"
is a man, who in the mind of many millions around the world, is the heroic
champion of Mideast-and-Central-Asian aspirations for independence, for
self-determination, for debt-free national economic integrity, and for the
heritage of morality "from above," that is, from sources deemed superior to
dominant leaders' politics, power, ambition and greed.
What Osama bin Ladin represents cannot be killed by the combined might of
the CFR, the various mafias (Russian, Kazakh, Jewish, Italian, etc.), of
the
Beijing Triad Princelings or of the Maoist-Trotskyite-Satanist
drug-revenue-supported network of a large number of the billionaires of
the world. {Note: Concerning deviant-elite "satanism" -- don't think of
this as a religion worshiping the "supernatural" Satan demiurge
spirit-being -- but rather understand it in scientific terms as the
sociologically predictable fiction adopted by a criminals to fits the needs
of a criminal association -- a group cemented by rites of initiation whereby
the initiate solomly vows to forsake for ever theistic morality, thereby
making himself trustworthy and qualified among partners in crime. If a man
will renounce God publicly -- a strong Christain taboo-- he can be trusted
somewhat more not to have pangs of conscience down the line.
=============================
Robert Lederman has done extensive research into the 911
Frame-up/Cover-up -- following a completely different set of clues than
those that have convinced me.
His conclusions further corroboration that we have been energetic in
following light that is really darkness.
Here is Lederman's essay on the Nine Unpopular Ideas that because they are
intelligent and true will win out in the end.
============================
October 24, 2001
Are you less than satisfied with the official explanations about 9/11?
Here are nine for the moment relatively unpopular but nevertheless
compelling ideas to consider about the attack. Americans who tend to believe
in any or all them are in the minority right now. Perhaps they won't be in
the near future.
1. This new war is not a conflict between Islamic fundamentalism and
American freedom.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point1
2. The destruction of the WTC was anticipated, and might have been
preventable.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point2
3. The Rockefeller connection may be the key to unlocking an understanding
of this entire issue. Why has their connection to the WTC been omitted from
99.999% of the media coverage about 9/11?
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point3
4. Anthrax may not be getting sent to the media and to Congress by
terrorists.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point4
5. This conflict is about oil not terrorism, Israel or Islam.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point5
6. Are we bombing the wrong country?
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point6
7. Bush is not doing a good job of protecting America. It would be far more
accurate to say he's doing a good job of destroying it.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point7
8. There is an occult aspect to the attacks which cannot be ignored or
attributed to coincidence.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point8
9. NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani did not unify New York City, but has done
everything in his power to destroy the electoral process and guarantee
future social chaos.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Holy_War/message/16244#point9
Rather than attempt to provide a lengthy proof of each idea which would
require a book-length report, here are one or more references from which you
can learn more. Every one of these ideas has voluminous documentation which
can be found in the mainstream media, on the net or in reputable books if
one looks for it.
Are these ideas true, are they connected and do they point to an even more
sinister explanation for 9/11 than is popularly held? I'll let you be the
judge, which is more than our newly popular leaders are willing to do. While
to some it may seem unpatriotic to question the government's actions at this
time of crisis let us remember that the original purpose of free speech was
to enable Americans to ask exactly these kind of unpopular questions of our
elected leaders. Real unity cannot be based on deceiving the American
people.
1. This new war is not a conflict between Islamic fundamentalism and
American freedom.
According to President Bush, we are now at war with "the evil-doers" who
hate our freedoms and way of life. Reasonable enough, but to be complete the
list of evil-doers involved with terrorists would have to include most of
the nations in our present coalition, the CIA, many of Americas' top
corporations and some of its' wealthiest and most respected families.
Leading the list of those connected to the alleged terrorists are former
President Bush, GW Bush and a number of key cabinet members of both Bush
administrations who have been in business with the wealthy Saudis who
finance Usama bin Laden's operations and with the bin Laden family itself
for decades.

Bin Laden Family Could Profit
From a Jump In Defense Spending
Due to Ties to U.S. Bank
Through this investment and its ties to Saudi royalty, the bin Laden family
has become acquainted with some of the biggest names in the Republican
Party. In recent years, former President Bush, ex-Secretary of State James
Baker and ex-Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci have made the pilgrimage to
the bin Laden family's headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Mr. Bush makes
speeches on behalf of Carlyle Group and is senior adviser to its Asian
Partners fund, while Mr. Baker is its senior counselor. Mr. Carlucci is the
group's chairman. Osama is one of more than 50 children of Mohammed bin
Laden, who built the family's $5 billion business, Saudi Binladin Group,
largely with construction contracts from the Saudi government.

2. The destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) was anticipated and might
have been preventable.
Outside of the mainstream U.S. media - which proudly admits it is censoring
itself at the request of the Bush administration - there are hundreds of
articles and reports detailing the foreknowledge of various U.S. agencies
and officials about a terrorist attack taking place around 9/11. The sources
of these reports include many of our allies in the new war.
David Schippers the Republican lawyer who impeached President Clinton,
claims he spent months before 9/11 trying to get information to Attorney
General Ashcroft from FBI agents who claim they were told not to investigate
leads that suggested a terrorist attack on Manhattan was imminent. For a
transcript of Schippers' interview Click Here:
http://www.infowars.com/transcript_schippers.html
After having been bombed in 1993 the WTC was probably the building complex
in the U.S. most expected by Federal authorities to be the subject of a
future terrorist attack. Various books and movies had such an attack, in
some cases involving hijacked jets, as part of their plot. A FEMA emergency
response manual, titled: Emergency Response To Terrorism ERT: SS Q 534
(Click Here: http://www.usfa.fema.gov/nfa/tr_ertss1.htm ), featured the
WTC on its' cover. Why were the Federal government and the Giuliani
administration seemingly so unprepared on 9/11?
A Daily News article details that numerous children in the NYC Muslim
community made public statements shortly before 9/11 about what was to
happen to the WTC. Are we to believe school kids knew and publicly bragged
about it, but the CIA didn't know?

3. The Rockefeller connection may be the key to unlocking an understanding
of this entire issue. Why has their connection to the WTC been omitted from
99.999% of the media coverage about 9/11?
From "A View Of Cities site"
Click Here:
http://www.ping.be/cosmopolitan/nyc/wtc.htm
"The World Trade center was a project started up in 1960 by David
Rockefeller. The towers were sometimes nicknamed David and Nelson, the
Rockefeller brothers."
a. The secretive Rockefeller family is considered by many authors to have
been one of the main forces behind the scenes of the Ford, Reagan, Carter,
Bush and Clinton presidencies. The Rockefeller family is the world's #1
promoter of eugenics, was half-owner of Nazi Germany's IG Farben and is at
the center of virtually every organization and idea associated with The New
World Order.

b. According to bin Laden his main problem with the U.S. involves us being
in Saudi Arabia and propping up their unpopular regime. The Saudi royal
family bin Laden hates so much is kept in power by men who work for the
Rockefeller family and the CIA to insure the flow of oil to Standard Oil and
other U.S. oil corporations. WWII, the Holocaust, the Arab-Israeli conflict,
the Gulf War and the present war on terrorism all share a direct connection
to the Rockefeller dynasties' oil interests. Standard Oil, now called Exxon,
is the most powerful corporation on earth.
For a very detailed account of this Middle Eastern oil story and how it has
shaped both recent American and world history see, "The Secret War Against
the Jews" by John Loftus and Mark Aarons, St. Martin's Press. John Loftus is
a former U.S. Department of Justice Nazi war crimes prosecutor.

The New Yorker, 10/22/2001
King's Ransom
by Seymor Hersh
Previous to becoming Bush's top foreign policy advisor, Condolezza Rice was
on the board of directors of Exxon which named an oil tanker after her. Dick
Cheney, GW Bush and many of his top aides are also heavily invested and
involved in the oil industry.
c. David Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank is also the main sponsor of the
Manhattan Institute (MI) a think tank founded by Reagan's controversial CIA
director William Casey. MI is the source of just about all of President
Bush's and Mayor Giuliani's policy ideas, a fact which they are very proud
to admit.
Many of Bush's cabinet members and advisors are also closely associated with
MI, which invented the classic doublespeak slogan, "compassionate
conservatism". Casey, who was intimately linked to the Rockefeller empire
throughout his career, was the top CIA official behind arming bin Laden and
training his terrorist army. Is it just another coincidence that George Bush
Sr. was Vice President and NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani was the third highest
official in the Justice Department during this same time?
William Casey's activities before his death and the Manhattan Institute's
agenda are intimately connected to Wall Street and to the oil industry.
While MI is best-known for its policy papers on race, welfare and urban
planning its' board includes Wall Street investment bankers deeply involved
with oil, geo-politics and the military-industrial complex.
d. The WTC was a financial failure from day one and was completely outmoded
as a real estate holding. Its design made updating the buildings for
contemporary fiber optic and other telecommunications systems exorbitantly
expensive. Now that it has been so tragically destroyed, real estate
interests are clamoring to rebuild it and will do so in large part at U.S.
government expense. Insurance companies which are among the world's most
profitable corporations may not even have to pay claims for this or future
terrorist attacks. See: NY Times October 22, 2001 Insurers Push for Cap on
Future Payouts
A Mistake In The First Place
By Robert Fitch

Legislation was passed to move the port to New Jersey, create a downtown
World Trade Center and establish a World Trade Center corporation headed by
Winthrop Aldrich [Rockefeller's uncle] of Chase Manhattan Bank.
4. Anthrax may not be getting sent to the media and to Congress by so-called
terrorists.
If bin Laden or Iraq want to wipe out Americans with anthrax, they're doing
a poor job of it. The main people who have been infected so far are
assistants to key members of the media, mail handlers and a few aides to the
Congress.
On the other hand, if someone was trying to boost sales for Cipro and the
stock prices of companies manufacturing vaccines and pharmaceuticals - many
of which are directly connected to the Bush and Rockefeller families and
Bush administration officials - they are doing an exceptional job of it.
Medical experts anticipate that widespread use of Cipro will make the
American public far more vulnerable to all forms of disease by causing
pathogens to mutate into antibiotic resistant strains (see: NY Times October
19, 2001-THE MEDICATION Experts Say Cipro Overuse Could Lead to Problems).
In light of the Bush and Rockefeller dynasties' historical interest in
pharmaceuticals, eugenics and population control, might that have something
to do with the concerted effort behind Cipro becoming more in demand than
Viagra and the government proposing a (mandatory?) nationwide smallpox
vaccine program?
In all the hysterical Cipro-centered coverage about the "evil-doers" who are
using anthrax a basic fact is often omitted. It was the first Bush
administration and our coalition allies which originally gave anthrax and
seventy other biological and chemical weapons to Sadamn Hussein. The U.S.
has led the world in production of chemical and biological warfare agents.
NY Times October 21, 2001
BUGGY
Preparing America for the Reality of Germ Warfare
Before President Richard M. Nixon renounced germ warfare in 1969, for
example, the United States Army produced dried anthrax, a single gallon of
which could hold up to eight billion lethal doses - enough in theory to kill
every person on the planet, twice.
One of many drugs which can be used for the treatment for anthrax exposure,
Cipro, is now mentioned every few minutes on every news show in America.
Cipro is a fairly dangerous drug manufactured by the German company Bayer.
Cipro was already Bayer's most profitable product before 9/11 and sales are
now up according to the NY Times 1,000%. Bayer's Cipro patent expires in
2003. According to some medical experts, garlic may be just as effective as
Cipro and far safer for fighting infection by anthrax.
Before the end of WWII Bayer was the main component of I. G. Farben, the
chemical, pharmaceutical and munitions powerhouse behind the rise of Nazi
Germany. For information on I.G. Farben's remarkable parallels and links to
the Bush administration see my articles, "What's Hiding in GW's Cabinet"
http://baltech.org/lederman/gw-bush-hiding.html and "The GW Bush Gang"
http://baltech.org/lederman/bush-farben-1-5-01.html
Even if it turns out that Iraqi or bin Laden-connected terrorists are
mailing anthrax to locations in the U.S., it was the first Bush
administration and our allies which originally gave it to them.
It is alleged that among the top stockholders in Bioport - the only company
with an anthrax vaccine - is the Carlyle Group. Among the top participants
in the Carlyle Group? The Bush and bin Laden families.

5. This conflict is about oil not terrorism, Israel or Islam
The U.S. was planning to invade Afghanistan long before 9/11 and not in
order to stop terrorists or help Islamic women denied human rights by the
Taleban. Such an invasion would have been widely criticized if not
politically impossible before 9/11. Afghanistan is crucial to the creation
of an oil pipeline that has long been a key preoccupation of the
Rockefeller, Bush and related oil interests.
"In spite of this, a route through Afghanistan appears to be the best option
with the fewest technical obstacles. It is the shortest route to the sea and
has relatively favorable terrain for a pipeline. The route through
Afghanistan is the one that would bring Central Asian oil closest to Asian
markets and thus would be the cheapest in terms of transporting the oil."

6. Are we bombing the wrong country?
According to FBI reports most of the suspected 9/11 hijackers were not
planning to commit suicide and were unaware of the plan to crash the planes
into various buildings. That coupled with the fact that false identities
were used by all the suspected hijackers makes it possible that Islamic
terrorists may have had little understanding of the real purpose of the
hijackings even if they were on the planes. It appears that none of the
hijackers were even from Afghanistan, the country we are now bombing,
invading and trying to overthrow. If we are going after the source why
aren't we invading Saudi Arabia where many of the hijackers were from?
According to the Bush administration, Saudi Arabian billionaires are the bin
Laden terrorist networks main source of funding. If we are after the Taleban
then why is Pakistan, the Taleban's main ally among nations and the sponsor
of the radical religious schools from which bin Laden draws his recruits,
our closest ally?
From: The UK Guardian Sunday October 14, 2001
The Observer
Click Here http://observer.co.uk/waronterrorism/story/0,1373,573707,00.html
Attackers did not know they were to die
"FBI investigators have officially concluded that 11 of the 19 terrorists
who hijacked the aircraft on 11 September did not know they were on a
suicide mission, Whitehall intelligence sources said last night...It is
understood the FBI has found evidence suggesting the 11 men expected to take
part in 'conventional' hijackings - with the planes flown to distant
airports, and the passengers and crew taken hostage while the hijackers
presented demands. Items found among the 11 men's possessions suggest they
had been preparing themselves for incarceration. One source said: 'It looks
as if they expected they might be going to prison, not paradise.' The FBI
analysis concludes the 11 may have believed the purpose of the hijackings
was to free the perpetrators of previous extremist terrorist attacks on the
United States, such as the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993."
7. Bush is not doing a good job of protecting America. It would be far more
accurate to say he's doing a good job of destroying it.
The super "patriotic" Bush family have a consistent habit of building up
dictators, supplying them with arms, reaping the profits for themselves and
their wealthy friends and then declaring their onetime allies to be the
ultimate evil requiring a new war and the loss of American lives.
GW Bush's grandfathers were key supporters of and Wall Street investment
bankers for Adolf Hitler during more than a decade preceding the U.S.
entering WWII. In 1942 the U.S. Congress seized their assets as Nazi fronts
under the Trading With the Enemy Act. Former President Bush and some of his
top his cabinet members were very close allies of Sadam Hussein before the
Gulf War, which may have begun when the Bush administration signaled Iraq
that an invasion of Kuwait would be tolerated by the U.S. Under the
Reagan-Bush administration (in large part run by former CIA director and
Reagan Vice President, George Bush) Usama Bin Laden was financed, armed and
had his army of terrorists - "the evil-doers" - trained by the CIA. The
wealthy Saudis who are bin Laden's money men are also business partners with
the Bush family. At what point will Americans dare to question the President
about these business relationships?

8. There is an occult aspect to the attacks which cannot be ignored or
attributed to coincidence.
The article at the website below is truly amazing and thought-provoking.
Whether or not you believe in God, numerology or the occult this article is
well worth reading. You may have already seen a breakdown of the
numerological repetition of the number 11 in this event, but this article
goes much deeper into what it might actually mean.
Click Here for original: http://www.enterprisemission.com/tower2.htm
The attacks took place on 9/11
9+1+1 = 11
Each WTC Tower had 110 floors, which is a multiple of 11
American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane flown into World Trade Tower2,
had 11 crewmembers. A total of 65 people were on Flight 11. 6+5 = 11
The second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, hit the World Trade Tower 1 at
9:02 AM. 9+2 = 11
9/11 is the 254th day of the year. 2+5+4 = 11
After 9/11, there are 111 days left in the year
New York City (where the major attack occurred) consists of 11 letters
New York was the 11th state admitted into the Union
President Bush ordered flags to fly at half mast until 9/22, making an 11
day period of mourning.
[Also on Holloween morining 11/31 1999 EgyptAir 900 crashed into the
Atlantic after the control of the plane was taken over from the
ockpit -the recovered recorders clearly support this - although the
conclusion was resisted by U.S. investigative authorities concerned,
apparently, about the liability exposure of Boeing - although EgyptAir and
the Egyptian government reject the U.S finding. -D. E.]
9. NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani not only did not unify New York City but he has
done everything in his power since 9/11 to destroy the electoral process and
guarantee future social chaos.
There are few examples of a public image changing so radically and rapidly
as Mayor Giuliani's has since 9/11. Within hours of the WTC attack and
continuing ever since the media has been bombarding us with empty propaganda
about Giuliani being a hero, an icon and a savior. This is by the same
corporate media who for eight years consistently described him as a
heartless, racially-biased violator of the Constitution who denied raises
and up-to-date equipment to the EMS, police and fire departments and
regularly delighted in exacerbating the City's racial, economic and social
divisions for his personal political gain.
Giuliani, or Sir Rudy as he is now known, has managed to turn the WTC
disaster into a personal bonanza of goodwill culminating most recently in an
honorary knighthood bestowed upon him by none other than the Queen of
England. Surrounded at every opportunity with real heroes - police officers,
firemen and rescue workers - Giuliani routinely leads celebrity tours of
ground zero and depicts himself as responsible for the spirit of cooperation
New Yorkers have shown for three centuries. Are these non-stop emotional
tributes to firemen and police intended to keep anyone from asking the
question, who screwed up?
While his "heroic" actions involved holding hourly press conferences notable
for their lack of information, appearing on every news and entertainment
show to take credit for his efforts and lecturing the UN General Assembly on
the superior value of electoral freedom, behind the scenes Giuliani and his
staff were feverishly trying to prevent the 2001 NYC election from ever
taking place so that he could indefinitely stay in office.
What is never broached in the corporate media is that despite Giuliani's
leadership for eight years the city's emergency planning was completely
ineffective on 9/11. That anyone was saved from the WTC disaster is due to
the sacrifices of the firemen, cops, Port Authority staff and EMS crews who
risked and lost their lives, not Mayor Giuliani. Among the many unanswered
questions since the attack, only a single columnist has dared to ask in
print why Giuliani located his $15 million emergency bunker - complete with
6,000 gallons of highly flammable fuel - on the 23rd floor of the very NYC
building complex most expected by FEMA and other Federal agencies to be
bombed by terrorists.
Village Voice 10/8/2001
From: La Dolce Musto
But before you decide: In '99, despite complaints-like how the building was
a potential target and also happened to be owned by a political
supporter-our mayor had an emergency bunker built at 7 World Trade Center.
Legendarily enough, a 6000-gallon fuel tank was installed there to run the
generators in case of a power outage. Well, when the planes hit the other
two towers on September 11, flying debris fell on 7 WTC, which some insiders
say ignited that very fuel. Still love Rudy?
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is now bracing for a whole other order of urban
treachery and cataclysm by building a $15.1 million emergency control center
for his administration...bullet-proofed, hardened to withstand bombs and
hurricanes, and equipped with food and beds for at least 30 members of his
inner circle." -NY Times 6/13/98 Giuliani's $15.1 Million 'Emergency Control
Center

Split in Ranks:
Commissioner Hears the
Boos of Firefighters
But even as the events of Sept. 11 strengthened those bonds, it did little
to soften the bitter feelings that many firefighters have long held for Fire
Commissioner Thomas Von Essen [one of Giuliani's closest aides]. Indeed, on
Saturday night, when Mr. Von Essen took the stage at a benefit concert at
Madison Square Garden, many of several thousand firefighters in attendance
joined in sustained booing...Mr. Von Essen's unpopularity was a problem of
his own creation, the stubborn residue of five years in which he has butted
heads with many firefighters, officers, emergency medical technicians and
the unions that represent them. "The E.M.S. people have been unhappy with
Von Essen for years," said Robert Ungar, a spokesman for the emergency
medical technicians' union. "This crisis wasn't going to change
that."...Similarly, Capt. Peter Gorman, the president of the Uniformed Fire
Officers Association and one of Mr. Von Essen's harshest critics, also
declined to speak of their relationship or the conduct of firefighters at
the Garden. "I have and continue to have serious labor-management issues,
but we have agreed to put them on the back burner," he said...Others
complained that Mr. Von Essen has been on television too much, appearing
with David Letterman, standing alongside Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani at news
conferences and being honored by the British government instead of being
with them at ground zero.

Questions About Safety of Workers
Hundreds of injuries to workers combing through the rubble at the World
Trade Center might have been prevented had the city been faster to require
proper training and equipment at what is still an "extremely hazardous" work
site, according to a sharply worded federal report. "There is no excuse for
what I saw," John Moran, an engineer and industrial hygienist, said
yesterday. Moran investigated working conditions at Ground Zero in the weeks
after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as a consultant to the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The report he coauthored was
released this week by the institute, an arm of the federal National
Institutes of Health. "When I was up there, there was no evidence of any
safety or health program or plan. It's the worst site I've ever seen -
extremely hazardous. Very few of the workers were wearing even the most
basic protective equipment," said Moran, who was at Ground Zero from Sept.
22 to 27.

Panicked opium traders unload huge stocks
Price plummets as refugees seek cash in Pakistan
To counter the Soviets, the CIA began to recruit, arm and train thousands of
mujahedeen--holy warriors--from throughout the Middle East. From the outset,
the CIA recognized the potential of stimulating drug production to finance
the operation and to spread addiction among the poorly disciplined Soviet
troops. President Jimmy Carter rejected using drugs as a weapon of war, but
when the Reagan administration came to power in 1981, CIA Director William
Casey jumped at it, according to the memoirs of some of the key players in
the operation.

Tales of the Afghan Drug Trade,
Opium for the Masses
During the last few weeks of anthrax hysteria, a dozen or so U.S. reporters
have pursued a more difficult, taboo story: opium's role as the centerpiece
of Afghanistan's economy. That cursed country was already a place where
children helped to harvest the gum from the poppies, working people kept
opium in their homes rather than money in the bank, and the Taliban raked in
up to $50 million a year in drug taxes...Writing for the Chicago Tribune on
September 30, Islamabad-based Tom Hundley probed a little deeper, noting
that during the 1980s, CIA director William Casey embraced the opium trade
as a means to finance his covert war in Afghanistan. Translation: The Afghan
fundamentalists may be drug lords, but they're our drug lords. They learned
to trade drugs for arms 20 years ago, with the tacit approval of the CIA.

Who Attacked the USA?
by David Stern - Intel (Canada)
Stern-Intel (Canada). A US military intelligence source revealed details of
an internal intelligence memo that points to the Israeli Mossad intelligence
service
having links to the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. The
intelligence source, who requested his name be withheld, confirmed the
internal US intelligence memo circulated four weeks ago described
information that pointed to the threat of a covert Israeli operation on US
soil to turn mass public opinion against Palestinian Arabs via an apparent
terrorist attack on US interests that would give Israel the green light to
implement a large scale
military onslaught against the Palestinian Arab population.
The 11 September attack has been described experts as being too
sophisticated for a lone terrorist group to execute. "This attack required a
high level of military precision and the resources of an advanced
intelligence agency. In addition, the attackers would have needed to be
extremely familiar with both air force one flight operations, civil airline
flight paths and aerial assault tactics on sensitive US cities like
Washington, Stated David Stern an expert on Israeli intelligence operations.
The attacks targeted the Pentagon, World Trade Center towers, with the White
House and Air Force One also being targets according to the FBI.
"The attacks have certainly turned US public opinion firmly back in Israel's
favor after 11 months of Palestinian uprising, heavy criticism of Israel
over war crimes allegations and racism a UN conference in Durban. The
attacks serve no Arab group or nation's interests but their timing came in
the midst of international condemnation of Israel for its policy of death
squad assassination of Palestinian political and police figures", added
Stern.
If verified, the news of Israel's involvement in the US attack will come as
no surprise to intelligence experts. The state of Israel has a long history
of covert operations against Western targets with attacks on the King David
Hotel, USS Liberty, murder of a Scandinavian UN envoy as well as espionage
against the US during the Jonathan Pollard case.
On Wednesday the US defense department issued a warning to its officials to
halt the leak of information on the investigation which it says is happening
on a daily basis since the attacks occurred.
==================
(end of Lederman's essay)
There are also very simple reasons why bin Ladin knew nothing about the
frame-up crashbombing.
1. Why was there no ultimatum afterwards if the Arabs did it?
2. Why had bin Ladin not slipped out of Afganistan so that his whereabouts
would be totally unknown? Why was he in the same level of seclusion on
September 11 as he was a year before? WHy would he knowingly put his hosts
in this very predictable bind they are in now?
3.If anti-Zionists did it, why didn't they target Israel? If bin Ladin has
tiny Russian nukes, why did he not take out government buildings in Tel
Aviv? And then deliver his ultimatum about when the second one will be
detonated if there was not immediate cessation of Sharon's aggression,
provocation
and treaty violations.
--------------------------------------
1. If the great expense of the crashbombing was done to achieve political
ends -- then WHY WAS THEIR NO ULTIMATUM afterwards? Would they go to all
of that expense and care to terror bomb New York, and not make their demands
known? All they would have had to do would be to set off a portable nuclear
device in Nevada or somewhere remote-- then announce their demands saying
that another device is in a large city and shall be set off if we don't get
demands xyz satisfied. But that did not happen. On the contrary, the
terror bombing gave the American Establishment and Ariel Sharon everything
they wanted in terms of carte blanche and public support for aggression
against Moslems and U.S. middle-class populism -- now both viewed as
legitimate "terrorist" targets. (Realize that it is men with views like
those of Pat Buchanan that that the Establishment wishes to eliminate.).
How could the mission have been so perfect in execution -- yet yield NOT
ONE REASONABLE OBJECTIVE -- WTC gained anti-globalism and anti-Sharonist
Zionism exactly nothing -- nothing but misery and death for Afgans and a
big boost
for Ariel Sharon.
2. The crashbombings caught bin Ladin by surprise -- his first public
response was a newsconference -- "I don't know who did it, but good for
them", basically (And predictably if he was innocent.) Bin Ladin was
obviously taken by surprise -- he did not even anticipate that he would be
the target -- he, like every reasonable man, assumed that there would be a
cold and intensly rational crime investigation that would yield the real
perpetrator. So he called a news conference, and gave his view as a leader
of a world-wide anti-globalism anti-Sharonist movement.
3. How absurd it will be to blame bin Ladin if tomorrow a nuclear bomb goes
off in Orange County, California or Billings Montana or Hillsdale Michigan.
But the logic applies internationally as well. With the sophistication
shown at WTC the perpetrators could have easily gotten to the real source of
their problems and killed Ariel Sharon -- but they did not.
And here is another good question. If you thought bin Ladin was the center
of decentralized terror network, why would you want to kill him rather than
capture him to study him. The kill in a hurry goal is totally irrational
from the standpoint of innocent American leadership, but makes perfect sense
only from the standpoint of a deviant American leadership seeking to cover
up their own mass-murder frame-up.
Write to me if you haven't seen the more-than-amble case that has already
been made. Sharon, Blair and Bush all need to be brought to an
international court of justice -- and the big-business, big-finance, and
big-crime anarcho-capitalist coven of billionaires that put them up to it.

THE ENEMY IS INSIDE OUR GATES
posted by: Colonel Donn de Grand Pré (US Army Retired)
(12 November 2001)
CONSIDER: ON 9-11, American Airlines flight 11, takes off from Logan
(Boston) 7:59 am, Capt Oganowski, pilot, and Tom McGuinness, co-pilot...
Destination - Los Angeles. As they climb to cruising altitude of 33,000
feet, they head west on an azimuth of 270 degrees for 70 miles. They are
suddenly diverted from their intended flight route by an "unknown outside
force" and flown in a northwest direction of 315 degrees for a distance of
120 miles, which takes them into upstate New York. At this point, they are
again sharply diverted and swung south in a 135 degree change of direction.
They are now heading south at an azimuth of 180 degrees and in a high-speed
shallow dive toward their intended target of the Twin Towers some 200 miles
away. In a matter of minutes, they plummet from a cruising altitude of
33,000 feet to a height of 1,200 feet as they unerringly approach the NYC
skyline and the World Trade Center.
Do the math!
Impact time with the North Tower - 8:45... takeoff time from Logan -
7:59... flight distance - 390 miles; time in the air - 46 minutes; average
speed - 508 MPH, meaning that when considering the initial climb to
altitude speed of 350, the final dive toward the towers (for a distance of
200 miles) has accelerated to 600 MPH.
Mission impossible? Not if you have become a guided missile!
DO THE NUMBERS!
You can locate the flight manifests (passenger lists) of all four fatal
flights of American and United Airlines posted on CNN. Important that you
also read The Perplexing Puzzle of the Published Passenger Lists ( see
"NaJam Saqib" <ism...@yahoo.com> of 11/08/01).
Consider that each posted original list comes up short of the current and
official tally. For example, AA Flight 11 is supposed to have 92 people
aboard, including 11 crew members, plus 81 passengers. However, the flight
manifest from American Airlines lists only 76 passengers (by name), meaning
that "the phantom five" (supposedly Arab hijackers) are not on the
manifest. How come?
The same is true of the other flight manifests. Check the lists! Do the
numbers! There are no Arab or Middle East names on these lists. Each list
is short a few names from the "official" tally, meaning that somehow a
total of 19 Middle Eastern (Muslim) names are missing from the passenger
lists. Of course, a separate listing is now available, along with photo
IDs, of these 19 phantom passengers, together with their aliases. How then
did they get on board the four fatal flights?
Please help the FBI (or the CIA) locate these 19 missing men; they are
wanted "dead or alive"; if you have a clue, let them know. Also, please let
me know, as I too am perplexed... and clueless.

Item #2:
Are the U.S. pentagon military in Afganistan nothing but mercenaries killing
for Anglo-American opium-revenue-laundering-oil-wealth
stealing/monopolizing-secret-society-networked ruling-elite criminals -- and
so our airmen and soldiers are functioning exactly as the "Hessian"

The slash and burn foreign policy of Secretary Powell, Security Adviser
Rice, and President Bush serves the CFR ("Rockefeller") interests while
their stated target, the innocent frame-up victim they seek "dead or dead,"
is a man, who in the mind of many millions around the world, is the heroic
champion of Mideast-and-Central-Asian aspirations for independence, for
self-determination, for debt-free national economic integrity, and for the

=============================
"Donald Hogan's" first letter:
Mr. Eastman,
First, let me thank you for being present on the web with such bravado.
My name is Donald Hogan , currently located in XXXX, Oregon. When the
planes struck I was working for XXXX XXXX Reprographics in Ccccccc,
Xxxx. Since then, I haven't been the same person. I consider myself to be
quite bright and capable in researching and puzzle-xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx
xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xx the honors college of South Florida.
I e-mailed Michael Rivero at WhatReallyHappened about my findings, mainly
in the oddity of Urban Moving Systems, the company that hired the young men
who were sighted videotaping and cheering the destruction of the towers.
Mr. Rivero seemed to agree that the company may be a front organization.
The evidence for this was found by a simple visit to www.urbanmoving.com.
None of the toll-free numbers on the site work. Most of them aren't even
listed in the Yellow Pages. One of them directs you to a phone sex line.
The map on the site gives me the creeps for reasons that I can elaborate on
if you're game.
Another question I have is why no one ever mentions the raid on InfoCom,
Inc. the week before the disaster. Since it's the company that runs
Al-Jareeza's website, it's safe to say that the FBI's interest in the site
is a little more than coincidental.
I sent Rivero an e-mail and several links to relevant websites.
Hopefully, he still has a copy, since it may be useful to you. If he
doesn't, I'll be more than happy to fill you in.
-Donald Hogan
===================================
Donald Hogan's second letter:
Mr. Eastman,
Today, Bush addressed the U.N. and our nation. During his speech, he said
something to the effect that conspiracy theories would not be tolerated. I
was listening to it on the radio (I don't have a televison, thank God).
I'll try to locate the exact quote. Funny how George is afraid of the rumor
mill now. Scared something might turn up. Meanwhile, the morning talk show
hosts have been playing hosts to the likes of Netanyahu and Uri Geller (who
related that he'd been in Israel's army).
The map I wrote of is available on the urbanmoving website
along with all of the suspect phone numbers. Consider this, nothing was
said of the tape that must have been recovered from the young men. If they
had taped both planes crashing, it would explain the whole thing. Of
course, we'll never hear about that tape. It was interesting enough for the
FBI to consider them to be suspect and be concerned enough to note to the
press that the roof of the New York location and it's great view of the
towers.
On the map, which I encourage you to print out before it disappears, the
other cities the company claims to have outlets in are Miami, Tampa,
Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, and Las Vegas. Good
luck finding any information to back up their claim. No other cities have
listings for Urban Movers. It is possible that they're using other names in
the other cities. Judging by the 888 and 877 toll free numbers, it is to be
assumed that the other cities would also have numbers that would be
established around the same time... meaning they wouldn't have 800 as the
prefix. Dallas has Liberty Moving Co.
Actually, Liberty is actually in Richardson, a suburb of Dallas. What else
is in Richardson? Well, InfoCom Inc. is located in Dallas. More on
InfoCom, later.
Liberty's website is http://www.texasmover.com
The are a few similarities between Urban and Liberty (the form they use and
the bad links associated with the sites). I will say that all this is a
stretch. But I learned about the U.S.S. Liberty AFTER investigating the
movers in Dallas. What a sly dig against the U.S. it would be if they named
it after the ship they attacked.
Back to InfoCom, Inc... feel free to visit:
http://www.ahlamy.com/news/content.cfm?val=4905
It's a pretty comprehensive story. If the government didn't suspect
anything, why were they raiding. Were they setting up a monitoring program
ahead of time? What were the results?
http://www.bxa.doc.gov/press/2001/InfoComCorpPutonDeniedList.html
A 180 day ban on exporting...beginning Sept. 7th! or was it...
http://www.bxa.doc.gov/DPL/thedeniallist.asp
It got turned into a longer ban than that 9/6/1 until 3/4/2... still, why is
it such a short ban? Everyone else on the list have bans that last much
much longer.
http://www.txcn/texasreacts/STORY.e91581de81.93.88.fa80.19252fe4.html
On September 26th Infocom was notified that their bank accounts were frozen.
Funny how this homeland security got started before the terrorist attacks
happened. Were they just the first step in making sure that the major
dissenting voice was quelled before the planes struck? They weren't the
first, just the most recent one.
Steven Emerson made a speech just weeks before the InfoCom raid, suggesting
that the government take just such an action (still trying to find a
transcript). How much do people know about Steven Emerson?
Does anyone remember what happened to a University of South Florida
Professor in the late '90's?
http://www.washington-report.org/backissues/0798/9807028.html
Emerson has ties to Richard Mellon Scaife (the man who is said to be the
boss of George Bush), Steven Pomerantz and Oliver "Buck" Revell (ex-fed
agents), and Yigal Carmon (Israeli Intelligence). My favorite quote from
the last link is from Vince Cannistraro (bottom of the page).
"'Mossad has passed on information about people, sometimes directly to the
FBI, in other cases through the CIA. I don't know it happened in that
case.' But, refferring to specific sources cited by Emerson and the Trib,
Cannistraro adds, "I do know they're Israeli-funded. How do I know that?
Because they tried to recruit me."
The author of the article, John Sugg, went through hell dealing with
Emerson. So did a lot of other people, from what I've gathered. NPR has
banned him, even after the attacks.
http://world.std.com/~camera/docs/oncamera/ocnprban.html
I have more on Emerson, as I'm sure Sugg has also (he's working for Creative
Loafing in Altanta, home of the only vocally dissenting Senator, Cynthia
McKinney).
Interesting, though... Emerson wrote an expose' about Reagan-era covert-ops
in 1988...
http://www.pir.org/cgi-bin/nbolin1.cgi/JW
Did the U.S. bring him into the fold to shut him up and turn him into a
propaganda machine?
I haven't read the book, so I can't add anything to that theory.
Another key site:
http://cryptome.org/alqaida-game.pdf
It's pretty scary stuff. The analysis is produced by a Washington-based
think tank that is super-secretive about it's clients but for some reason
felt it necessary to place this document in the public view. There are
quite a few flaws, aside from it's immediate assumption that Al-Qaida is
behind the attacks. Point four, under the heading "What is Al-Qaida" is a
metaphorical stretch of the imagination. It states:
"Individual Moslems and Islamic Nation-States that are 'corrupted' will
have departed the faith into apostasy, and are thus in Dar al-Harb."
Well, the drunks who visited the strip club obviously abandoned the faith,
if they had them. Dar al-Harb, indeed.
More Later... Thanks for giving me your ear.

Mr. Eastman,

Ha'aretz charges money for access to their archives, so a direct link to
them is nearly worthless.

Filled with plenty of quotes from articles. The only odd info is the BBC
News Online quote
"Samples of explosives taken from the destroyer had been identified by US
investigators as a type
available only in Israel, the USA, and two Arab countries."
So, maybe two Arab countries had D-4. Then why would US investigators stop
short of naming the duo. Perhaps they had no evidence and, by not naming
them specifically, they would have no need to present proof.
====================================
Dear Dick,
Is there a way to find out from any of the German officials that have
several suspects linked to 9/11 in custody but won't release their
identity - CNN stated that they stated it was too "sensitive" & too "hot".
And whatever came of the imprisoned man in Germany who called U.S. law
enforcement officials stating there was going to be a terror attack 9/11 and
specifically stated the WTC. This was reported for several days after 9/11
on the major cable news network - but I haven't heard anything else since
then.

Yours certainly is the ruling theory. I am convinced that organized crime

profile.
They have the incentive. They have the established clandestine
associations.
They evidence foreknowledge of the event. It all hangs together very
nicely.
By the way, I don't know what the Konformist is or which of the

it is you and I who are talking now.

The anthrax has kept Congress from opening its mail and learning what the
people really think about this war. It may also be a warning to some about
keeping in line. It certainly has taken all attention away from the war and
the crashbombings -- the front page of the New York Times today was full
of various anthrax articles -- all with nothing to go on. The war? The
lack of an investigation to find the perpetrators -- all these things are
ignored. So ask, Who benefits from the anthrax scare?
> Is he a dupe or as I would think more likely a co-conspirator?
If you look at www.whatreallyhappened.com you will see an article
indicating that the CIA met with bin Ladin in July of 2001. He is
either a patsy (a patsy is a victim without consent -- a dupe is a tricked
accomplice) or else his very selection of Afganistan as a place to hide
out was part of a set-up, part of a staged disinformation exploit to get
the American public to consent to a major war to capture oil lands and
secure continued opium-heorin revenues for money-laundering merchant banks
(who have built the new China with invested proceeds of the drug trade.)
The Observer (London, mainstream) reports that nazi
> web sites are supportiing Bin Laden. I attach this after my own stuff
I have been spamming my theory to the entire political spectrum including
"patriot" and "nationalist" lists -- I have seen no one supporting bin
Ladin, but I have seen (and encouraged) an increased suspicion that bin
Ladin is innocent.
Once we see that bin Ladin is being framed -- is the term "frame-up" used in
Britain?
-- it is not difficult to sympathize with him and with all Afgans as victims
and "underdogs." In a just world the U.S. government would pay reparations
for what we are doing -- and the tax to pay these reparations would be
levied on the oil companies.

I post exclusively to newsgroups and lists -- others then submit my pieces
to various websites -- my latest statement of the frame-up thesis is
usually followed with another post containing excerpts from the critical
supporting documents.

We will never know. The case was not a frivolous one. It was downplayed in
the American media because of the imporance of those accused. The Federal
Reserve is an institution that can effect plunder (transfer of wealth from
one group to another) in many legal ways. The "theft" (securing ones
friends with very cheap gold at the publics expense) was occuring -- but
could carges be made to stick against a ruling elite with the nations best
attornies behind them? I don't know.

It was the first time such a case had been brought. Also the public has
been in a less generous mood towards the Fed since the severe secular
downturn became evident. You can be sure that many in the FBI were making
"oh hum" display,
yet if there is really impartiality and dedication to justice, then the risk
was there.

If the goal was to destroy evidence held in vaults, files and computer hard
drives and floppy disks etc. a bomb would be needed at the time of the
crash to prevent agents from grabbing critical evidence as they ran for the
exits. Apparently this was accomplished by the bombing of the 23rd floor.
(Note that officially this was a floor filled with New York medical
insurance offices -- although network news has identified these floors as
containing FBI and other investigation agencies.

I am convinced that no one was knowingly on a suicide mission.
Exactly two years ago today, the American Halloween, EgyptAir flight 990,
a giant Boeing 767 took off from New York bound for Cairo Egypt with 100
Americans and 87 Egyptians aboard.
The takeoff had been successful and routine, but at one half hour into the
flight, at 1;48;30 ----at a moment when the pilot left the controls for a
trip to the toilet and the co-pilot was left in the cockpit alone -- an
English voice can be heard on the black box recorder saying "control it"
(the co-pilot was Egyptian) --
and suddenly, one must conclude, control of the plane taken from him,i.e.,
the cockpit controls were bing overridden. -- After some seconds the
co-pilot, reacting to his losse of control to a phantom controller, says,
"I'm trusting you Jehovah" (or "I'm in your hands, Jehovah" --"Tawakkalt ala
Allah.")
The co-pilot then disengaged the auto-pilot to restore control. Control was
not restored. The co-pilot again said a prayer as the elevators dropped
putting the plane into a dive. After sixteen seconds of this dive the
Captain returned to the cockpit asking "What happening? Whats happening?"
Captain and co-pilot were presumably working to pull out of the dive, but
the controls were not responding and now the throttles turned up to full
forward -- at which point the co-pilot cut the fuel lines. Then by phantom
control the right and left elevators each moved all the way in the opposite
directions and the ailerons on both wings both went fully up. The pilot
cried "Get away in the engines! Shut the engines!" To which the co-pilot
replied, It's shut." The last words are of the captain frantically
instructing "Pull! Let's pull! Let's pull!" At this point something shut
off the instrument recorders (or they were later erased).
The Americans said that the pilot committed suicide!!!???? Whereas the
Egyptians -- who understand the language, insist that that is an impossible
interpretation of last moments of conversation recorded or of the earlier
conversation at takeoff.
I have no doubt in my mind that EgyptAir 990 was a "test" for the WTC
crashbombing operation.

I had not heard this, but it appears that Sharon and the U.S., not
especially known as clairvoiants, were counting a lot of chickens in the
weeks before the plot was hatched.

Tell me about it. You are talking to Dick Hate and Dick Nazi and Dick

For good information on the

I support the position of the Labor Party in Israel. There are several good
anti-Sharon men in Labor -- even Mossad has some good men, I imagine.
But when the "top" is rotten ..... (The Israeli is controlled by fear,
Sharon elicits the terror that generates the fear that he then harnesses to
attain his hidden agenda.)

Zbigniew Brzezinski and the CFR Put War Plans In a 1997 Book
It Is "A Blueprint for World Dictatorship," Says a Former German
Defense and NATO Official Who Warned of Global Domination in 1984,
in an Exclusive Interview With FTW
by Michael C. Ruppert

"THE GRAND CHESSBOARD - American Primacy And It's Geostrategic
Imperatives," Zbigniew Brzezinski, Basic Books, 1997.
These are the very first words in the book: "Ever since the
continents started interacting politically, some five hundred
years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power." - p. xiii.
Eurasia is all of the territory east of Germany and Poland,
stretching all the way through Russia and China to the Pacific
Ocean. It includes the Middle East and most of the Indian
subcontinent. The key to controlling Eurasia, says Brzezinski, is
controlling the Central Asian Republics. And the key to
controlling the Central Asian republics is Uzbekistan. Thus, it
comes as no surprise that Uzbekistan was forcefully mentioned by
President George W. Bush in his address to a joint session of
Congress just days after the attacks of September 11 as the very
first place that the U.S. military would be deployed.
As FTW has documented in previous stories, major deployments of
U.S. and British forces had taken place before the attacks. And
the U.S. Army and the CIA had been active in Uzbekistan for
several years. There is now evidence that what the world is
witnessing is a cold and calculated war plan - at least four years
in the making - and that, from reading Brzezinski's own words
about Pearl Harbor, the World Trade Center attacks were just the
trigger needed to set the final conquest in motion.
----------
FTW, November 7, 2001, 1200 PST - There's a quote often attributed
to Allen Dulles after it was noted that the final 1964 report of
the Warren Commission on the assassination of JFK contained
dramatic inconsistencies. Those inconsistencies, in effect,
disproved the Commission's own final conclusion that Lee Harvey
Oswald acted alone on November 22, 1963. Dulles, a career spy,
Wall Street lawyer, the CIA director whom JFK had fired after the
1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco - and the Warren Commission member who
took charge of the investigation and final report - is reported to
have said, "The American people don't read."
Some Americans do read. So do Europeans and Asians and Africans
and Latin Americans.
World events since the attacks of September 11, 2001 have not only
been predicted, but also planned, orchestrated and - as their
architects would like to believe - controlled. The current Central
Asian war is not a response to terrorism, nor is it a reaction to
Islamic fundamentalism. It is in fact, in the words of one of the
most powerful men on the planet, the beginning of a final conflict
before total world domination by the United States leads to the
dissolution of all national governments. This, says Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR) member and former Carter National Security
Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, will lead to nation states being
incorporated into a new world order, controlled solely by economic
interests as dictated by banks, corporations and ruling elites
concerned with the maintenance (by manipulation and war) of their
power. As a means of intimidation for the unenlightened reader who
happens upon this frightening plan - the plan of the CFR -
Brzezinski offers the alternative of a world in chaos unless the
U.S. controls the planet by whatever means are necessary and
likely to succeed.
This position is corroborated by Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D. a
former German defense ministry official and advisor to former NATO
Secretary General Manfred Werner. On November 6, he told FTW, "The
interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, The
Trilateral Commission - founded by Brzezinski for David
Rockefeller - and the Bilderberger Group, have prepared for and
are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the
next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They
are fighting against citizens."
Brzezinski's own words - laid against the current official line
that the United States is waging a war to end terrorism - are
self-incriminating. In an ongoing series of articles, FTW has
consistently established that the U.S. government had
foreknowledge of the World Trade Center attacks and chose not to
stop them because it needed to secure public approval for a war
that is now in progress. It is a war, as described by Vice
President Dick Cheney, "that may not end in our lifetimes." What
that means is that it will not end until all armed groups,
anywhere in the world, which possess the political, economic or
military ability to resist the imposition of this dictatorship,
have been destroyed.
These are the "terrorists" the U.S. now fights in Afghanistan and
plans to soon fight all over the globe.
Before exposing Brzezinski (and those he represents) with his own
words, or hearing more from Dr. Koeppl, it is worthwhile to take a
look at Brzezinski's background.
According to his resume Brzezinski, holding a 1953 Ph.D.
from Harvard, lists the following achievements:
-- Counselor, Center for Strategic and International Studies
-- Professor of American Foreign Policy, Johns Hopkins University
-- National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter (1977-81)
-- Trustee and founder of the Trilateral Commission
-- International advisor of several major US/Global corporations
-- Associate of Henry Kissinger
-- Under Ronald Reagan - member of NSC-Defense Department Commission on
Integrated Long-Term Strategy
-- Under Ronald Reagan - member of the President's Foreign Intelligence
Advisory Board
-- Past member, Board of Directors, The Council on Foreign Relations
-- 1988 - Co-chairman of the Bush National Security Advisory Task Force.
Brzezinski is also a past attendee and presenter at several
conferences of the Bliderberger group - a non-partisan affiliation
of the wealthiest and most powerful families and corporations on
the planet.
The Grand Chessboard
Brzezinski sets the tone for his strategy by describing Russia and
China as the two most important countries - almost but not quite
superpowers - whose interests that might threaten the U.S.in
Central Asia. Of the two, Brzezinski considers Russia to be the
more serious threat. Both nations border Central Asia. In a lesser
context he describes the Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Iran and Kazakhstan
as essential "lesser" nations that must be managed by the U.S. as
buffers or counterweights to Russian and Chinese moves to control
the oil, gas and minerals of the Central Asian Republics
(Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan).
He also notes, quite clearly (p.53) that any nation that might
become predominant in Central Asia would directly threaten the
current U.S. control of oil resources in the Persian Gulf. In
reading the book it becomes clear why the U.S. had a direct motive
for the looting of some $300 billion in Russian assets during the
1990s, destabilizing Russia's currency (1998) and ensuring that a
weakened Russia would have to look westward to Europe for economic
and political survival, rather than southward to Central Asia. A
dependent Russia would lack the military, economic and political
clout to exert influence in the region and this weakening of
Russia would explain why Russian President Vladimir Putin has been
such a willing ally of U.S. efforts to date. (See FTW Vol. IV, No.
1 - March 31, 2001)
An examination of selected quotes from "The Grand Chessboard," in
the context of current events reveals the darker agenda behind
military operations that were planned long before September 11th,
2001.
"The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed a
tectonic shift in world affairs. For the first time ever, a
non-Eurasian power has emerged not only as a key arbiter of
Eurasian power relations but also as the world's paramount
power. The defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union was the
final step in the rapid ascendance of a Western Hemisphere
power, the United States, as the sole and, indeed, the first
truly global power. (p. xiii)
"But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian
challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of
also challenging America. The formulation of a comprehensive
and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is therefore the purpose
of this book. (p. xiv)
"The attitude of the American public toward the external
projection of American power has been much more ambivalent.
The public supported America's engagement in World War II
largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor. (pp 24-5)
"For America, the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia. Now a
non-Eurasian power is preeminent in Eurasia - and America's
global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how
effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is
sustained. (p.30)
"America's withdrawal from the world or because of the sudden
emergence of a successful rival - would produce massive
international instability. It would prompt global anarchy."
(p.30)
"In that context, how America 'manages' Eurasia is critical.
Eurasia is the globe's largest continent and is geopolitically
axial. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the
world's three most advanced and economically productive
regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control
over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's
subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania
geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent.
About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and
most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in
its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for
60 per cent of the world's GNP and about three-fourths of the
world's known energy resources." (p.31)
"Two basic steps are thus required: first, to identify the
geostrategically dynamic Eurasian states that have the power
to cause a potentially important shift in the international
distribution of power and to decipher the central external
goals of their respective political elites and the likely
consequences of their seeking to attain them;. second, to
formulate specific U.S. policies to offset, co-opt, and/or
control the above. (p.40)
"To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more
brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of
imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain
security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries
pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming
together." (p.40)
"Henceforth, the United States may have to determine how to
cope with regional coalitions that seek to push America out of
Eurasia, thereby threatening America's status as a global
power." (p.55)
"Uzbekistan - with its much more ethnically homogeneous
population of approximately 25 million and its leaders
emphasizing the country's historic glories - has become
increasingly assertive in affirming the region's new
postcolonial status." (p.95)
"Thus, even the ethnically vulnerable Kazakhstan joined the
other Central Asian states in abandoning the Cyrillic alphabet
and replacing it with Latin script as adapted earlier by
Turkey. In effect, by the mid-1990s a bloc, quietly led by
Ukraine and comprising Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan
and sometimes also Kazakhstan, Georgia and Moldova, had
informally emerged to obstruct Russian efforts to use the CIS
as the tool for political integration." (p.114)
"Hence, support for the new post-Soviet states - for
geopolitical pluralism in the space of the former Soviet
empire - has to be an integral part of a policy designed to
induce Russia to exercise unambiguously its European option.
Among these states. Three are geopolitically especially
important: Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine." (p. 121)
"Uzbekistan, nationally the most vital and the most populous
of the central Asian states, represents the major obstacle to
any renewed Russian control over the region. Its independence
is critical to the survival of the other Central Asian states,
and it is the least vulnerable to Russian pressures." (p.121)
Referring to an area he calls the "Eurasian Balkans" and a
1997 map in which he has circled the exact location of the
current conflict - describing it as the central region of
pending conflict for world dominance - Brzezinski writes:
"Moreover, they [the Central Asian Republics] are of
importance from the standpoint of security and historical
ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more
powerful neighbors, namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, with China
also signaling an increasing political interest in the region.
But the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a
potential economic prize: an enormous concentration of natural
gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in addition to
important minerals, including gold." (p.124) [Emphasis added]
The world's energy consumption is bound to vastly increase
over the next two or three decades. Estimates by the U.S.
Department of energy anticipate that world demand will rise by
more than 50 percent between 1993 and 2015, with the most
significant increase in consumption occurring in the Far East.
The momentum of Asia's economic development is already
generating massive pressures for the exploration and
exploitation of new sources of energy and the Central Asian
region and the Caspian Sea basin are known to contain reserves
of natural gas and oil that dwarf those of Kuwait, the Gulf of
Mexico, or the North Sea." (p.125)
"Kazakhstan is the shield and Uzbekistan is the soul for the
region's diverse national awakenings." (p.130)
"Uzbekistan is, in fact, the prime candidate for regional
leadership in Central Asia." (p.130)
"Once pipelines to the area have been developed,
Turkmenistan's truly vast natural gas reserves augur a
prosperous future for the country's people. (p.132)
"In fact, an Islamic revival - already abetted from the
outside not only by Iran but also by Saudi Arabia - is likely
to become the mobilizing impulse for the increasingly
pervasive new nationalisms, determined to oppose any
reintegration under Russian - and hence infidel - control."
(p.133).
"For Pakistan, the primary interest is to gain Geostrategic
depth through political influence in Afghanistan - and to deny
to Iran the exercise of such influence in Afghanistan and
Tajikistan - and to benefit eventually from any pipeline
construction linking Central Asia with the Arabian Sea."
(p.139)
"Moreover, sensible Russian leaders realize that the
demographic explosion underway in the new states means that
their failure to sustain economic growth will eventually
create an explosive situation along Russia's entire southern
frontier."
(p.141) [This would explain why Putin would welcome U.S.
military presence to stabilize the region.]
"Turkmenistan. has been actively exploring the construction of
a new pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Arabian
Sea." (p.145)
"It follows that America's primary interest is to help ensure
that no single power comes to control this geopolitical space
and that the global community has unhindered financial and
economic access to it." (p148)
"China's growing economic presence in the region and its
political stake in the area's independence are also congruent
with America's interests." (p.149)
"America is now the only global superpower, and Eurasia is the
globe's central arena. Hence, what happens to the distribution
of power on the Eurasian continent will be of decisive
importance to America's global primacy and to America's
historical legacy." (p.194)
"the Eurasian Balkans - threatens to become a cauldron of
ethnic conflict and great-power rivalry." (p.195)
"Without sustained and directed American involvement, before
long the forces of global disorder could come to dominate the
world scene. And the possibility of such a fragmentation is
inherent in the geopolitical tensions not only of today's
Eurasia but of the world more generally." (p.194)
"With warning signs on the horizon across Europe and Asia, any
successful American policy must focus on Eurasia as a whole
and be guided by a Geostrategic design." (p.197)
"That puts a premium on maneuver and manipulation in order to
prevent the emergence of a hostile coalition that could
eventually seek to challenge America's primacy." (p.198)
"The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or
combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United
States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its
decisive arbitration role." (p.198)
"In the long run, global politics are bound to become
increasingly uncongenial to the concentration of hegemonic
power in the hands of a single state. Hence, America is not
only the first, as well as the only, truly global superpower,
but it is also likely to be the very last." (p.209)
"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural
society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus
on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a
truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat."
(p.211) [Emphasis added] The Horror - And Comments
From Someone Who Worked With Brzezinski
Brzezinski's book is sublimely arrogant. While singing the praises
of the IMF and the World Bank, which have economically terrorized
nations on every continent, and while totally ignoring the
worldwide terrorist actions of the U.S. government that have led
to genocide; cluster bombings of civilian populations from Kosovo,
to Laos, to Iraq, to Afghanistan; the development and battlefield
use of both biological and chemical agents such as Sarin gas; and
the financial rape of entire cultures it would leave the reader
believing that such actions are for the good of mankind.
While seconded from the German defense ministry to NATO in the
late 1970s, Dr. Johannes Koeppl - mentioned at the top of this
article - traveled to Washington on more than one occasion. He
also met with Brzezinski in the White House on more than one
occasion. His other Washington contacts included Steve Larabee
from the CFR, John J. McCloy, former CIA Director, economist
Milton Friedman, and officials from Carter's Office of Management
and Budget. He is the first person I have ever interviewed who has
made a direct presentation at a Bliderberger conference and he has
also made numerous presentations to sub-groups of the Trilateral
Commission. That was before he spoke out against them.
His fall from grace was rapid after he realized that Brzezinski
was part of a group intending to impose a world dictatorship. "In
1983/4 I warned of a take-over of world governments being
orchestrated by these people. There was an obvious plan to subvert
true democracies and selected leaders were not being chosen based
upon character but upon their loyalty to an economic system run by
the elites and dedicated to preserving their power.
"All we have now are pseudo-democracies."
Koeppl recalls meeting U.S. Congressman Larry McDonald in
Nuremburg in the early 80s. McDonald, who was then contemplating a
run for the Presidency, was a severe critic of these elites. He
was killed in the Russian shootdown of Korean Air flight 007 in
1985. Koeppl believes that it might have been an assassination.
Over the years many writers have made these allegations about 007
and the fact that someone with Koeppl's credentials believes that
an entire plane full of passengers would be destroyed to eliminate
one man offers a chilling opinion of the value placed on human
life by the powers that be.
In 1983, Koeppl warned, through Op-Ed pieces published in NEWSWEEK
and elsewhere, that Brzezinski and the CFR were part of an effort
to impose a global dictatorship. His fall from grace was swift.
"It was a criminal society that I was dealing with. It was not
possible to publish anymore in the so-called respected
publications. My 30 year career in politics ended.
"The people of the western world have been trained to be good
consumers; to focus on money, sports cars, beauty, consumer goods.
They have not been trained to look for character in people.
Therefore what we need is education for politicians, a form of
training that instills in them a higher sense of ethics than
service to money. There is no training now for world leaders. This
is a shame because of the responsibility that leaders hold to
benefit all mankind rather than to blindly pursue destructive
paths.
"We also need education for citizens to be more efficient in their
democracies, in addition to education for politicians that will
create a new network of elites based upon character and social
intelligence."
Koeppl, who wrote his 1989 doctoral thesis on NATO management,
also authored a 1989 book - largely ignored because of its
controversial revelations - entitled "The Most Important Secrets
in the World." He maintains a German language web site
atwww.antaris.com and he can be reached by email
at...@antaris.com.
As to the present conflict Koeppl expressed the gravest concerns,
"This is more than a war against terrorism. This is a war against
the citizens of all countries. The current elites are creating so
much fear that people don't know how to respond. But they must
remember. This is a move to implement a world dictatorship within
the next five years. There may not be another chance."

The anthrax is to keep Congress from reading letters explaining crashbombing
frame-up.
The real purpose of the anthrax in Congress is to
stop Congressmen from reading constituent mail.
The false cover and media wash of the frame-up
crashbombings is falling apart. The informed
"wired" public now knows that it was a frame-up.
It is well known that no Congressman reads the
tens of thousands of e-mails they receive a day.
The post-office-delivered letter is still the main
source of Congressman direct contact with his
constituents.
As the false story of "Islamic fundamentalist terrorism,"
is revealed as a frame-up by powerful renegade organizations
on our side (the U.S. and Israel) the public gradually
becomes aware and begins to contact their representatives in
Washington. It was at this point that the anthrax showed up.
ANd what about the anthrax in the network news centers?
Simply a warning -- not to break ranks with the disinformation
dictates of the Establishment -- or else!
Yes, this is speculation -- but if the frame-up theory is correct
than this explanation of the anthrax deliveries to these particular targets
can have no other explanation. (Can you think of one?)

------------
John Randolph (1773-1833), an American Congressman, House Leader of the
Jeffersonian forcesin the Early Days of the Republic, sat at the impeachment
trial of Justice Samuel Chase, opposed the War of 1812 and the chartering of
the Second Bank of the United States. Here are some of his words against
two foreign wars:
"My friends, do you expect to find those who are now loudest in the clamor
for war foremost in the ranks of battle? Or, is the honor of this nation
indissolubly connected with the political reputation of a few individuals,
who tell you they have gone too far to recede, and that you must pay, with
your ruin, the price of their consistency?"
"Before these pages meet your eye, the last republic of the earth will have
enlisted under the banners of the tyrant and become a party to his cause.
The blood of American freemen must flow to cement his power, to aid in
stifling the last struggles of afflicted and persecuted man, to deliver up
into his hands the patriots of Spain and Portugal, to establish his empire
over the ocean and over the land that gave our fathers birth -- toforge our
own chains! And yet, my friends, we are told, as we were told in the days
of Mr. Adams, "the finger of heaven points to war." Yes, the finger of
heaven does point to war! It points to war, as it points to the mansions of
eternal misery and torture -- as a flaming beacon warning us of that vortex
which we may not approach but with certain destruction...It announces the
wrath to come upon those who, ungrateful for the bouinty of PRovidence, not
satisfied with the peace, liberty, security and plenty at home, fly, as it
were, into the face of the Most High, and tempt his forbearance."
"These are no ordinary times; the state of the world is unexampled; the
war of the present day is not like that of our revolution, or any which
preceded it, at least in the modern times. It is a war against the
liberties and happiness of mankind; it is a war in which the whole human

"Yes Men" of Opium & Oil versus our fanatical informed courage to
wage universal Gandhi resistance (An American patriots can resort to the
Gandhi weapon to beat the globalist "yes men.")
1. The Gandhian "no"
2. The "yes-men"

================
Item #1:
It was the trillions of dollars of drug money and
oil money controlling the weak and ignorant yes-men
that has destroyed our era and our civilization.
A new civilization arises from the ashes:
fanatical informed courage to wage universal
Gandhi resistance.
That is all it takes -- simply the ability of every
man woman and child on earth to be able to say
"no" to even trillions of dollars offered, to all the
bribes and temptations in the world and to endure
whatever suffering those yet-slaves will dish out to
to get you serve that gigantic idolotrous lump of
oil & drug money.
This is not a contest of races or religions or ethnics or ideologies --
although the great idolotrous lump of oil and drugs has warped
each of these into its service. So lay down all of your animosities --
you have been duped, like O.J. and Osaman, you have been framed,
you have been made patsies by all the brains and cunning a lump of trillions
of dollars of wealth can buy.
And every leader and ever convict must be converted to the spiritual
brotherhood of
fanatical informed courage to wage universal Gandhi resistance.
All soldiers duped into the service of oil and opium must throw down his
arms and stand courts martial -- and the courts martial must walk out of
the courtroom and refuse to try the case -- but let Gandhi and Tolstoy
tell it --
The solution has been found and it will do the job.
The Taliban was half right and half wrong: Right in fighting the opium and
oil powers (which control the United States, Britain, Israel, and the rest
of the oil and drug owned puppet governments and organizations of the
world). It was wrong in using violence. Taliban too, lay down your arms
once you understand and trust that the solution lies in
fanatical informed courage to wage universal Gandhi resistance.
(You have other words for this concept. Translate for yourself
until heart and will agree.)
The solution from Gandhi (derived from Jesus teachings):
"Exploitation of the poor can be extinguished not by
effecting the destruction of a few millionaires, but
by removing the ignorance of the poor and teaching
them to non-cooperate with their exploiters.
"The moment the slave resolves that he will no
longer be a slave, his fetters fall. He frees
himself and shows the way to others. Freedom
and slavery are mental states. Therefore the
first thing is to say to yourself, 'I shall no
longer accept the role of a slave. I shall not
obey orders as such but shall disobey when they
are in conflict with my conscience.' The
so-called master may lash you and try to force
you to serve him. You may say, 'No, I will not
serve you for your money or under threat.' This
may mean suffering. Your readiness to suffer will
light the torch of freedom which will never be put
out."
Add to that the following concept from Tolstoi, author of *War and Peace*
and of *The Kingdom of God is Within You* which inspired
Gandhi. (Note: The term "Christianity" might not be the right
word for your understanding, and "the State" can stand for all organizations
ultimately controlled by drugs and oil -- corporations, NGO's, mafia
organizations, any institution or association.]
Christianity versus the State
by Lev Tolstoi
Christianity in its true meaning destroys the state. Thus it was
understood from the very beginning, and Christ was cricuifed for this very
reason, and thus it has always been understood by men who are not fettered
by the necessity of proving the justification of the Christian state. Only
when the heads of state accepted the external nominal Christianity did they
begin to invent all those impossible finely spun theories, according to
which Christianity was compatible with the state. But for every sincere and
serious man of our time it is quiete obvious that true Christianity -- the
teaching of humility, of forgiveness of offenceses, of love -- is
incompatible with the state, with its magnificence, its violence, its
executions, and its wars. The profession of true Christianity not only
excludes the possibility of recognizing thestate, but even destroys its very
foundations.
But if this is so, and it is true that Christianity is incompatible with
the state, there naturally arises the question: "What is more necessary for
the good of humanity, what more permanently secures the good of men, the
political form of life, or its destruction and the substitution of
Christianity in its place?
Some men say that the state is most necessary for humanity, that the
destruction of the political form would lead to the destruction of
everything worked out by humanity, that the state has been and continues to
be the only form of the development of humanity, and that all that evil
which we see among the nations who live in the political form is not due to
this form, but to the abuses, which can be mended without destruction, and
that humanity, without impairing the political form, can develop and reach a
high degree of well-being. And the men who think so also adduce in
confirmation of their opinion philosophic and historic, and religious
arguments, which also seem incontrovertible to them.
It is possible to write volumens in the defense of the first opinion
(they have been written long ago, and there is still no end to them), and
there can be written much against it (though but lately begun, many a
brilliant thing has been written against it).
It is impossible to prove, as the defenders of the state claim, that the
destruction of the state will lead to a social chaos, mutual rapine, murder,
and the destruction of all public instiutions, and the return of humanity to
barbarism; nor can it be proved , as the opponents of the state claim, that
men have already become so wise and good that they do not rob or kill one
another, that they prefer peace to hostility, that they will themselves
without the aid of the state arrange everything they need, and that therefor
e the state not only does not contribute to all this, but, on the contrary,
under the guise of defending men, exerts a harmful and bestializing
influence upon them. It is impossible to prove either the one or the other
by means of abstract reflections. Still less can it be proved by
experience, since the question consists in this, whether the experiment is
to be made or not. The question as to whether the time has come for
abolishing the state, or not, would be insoluable, if there did not exist
another vital method for an incontestable solution to the same.
Quite independently of anybody's reflections as to whether chicks are
sufficiently matured for him to drive the hen away from the nest and let the
chicks out of their eggs, or whether or not they are yet sufficiently
matured, the incontestable judges of the case will be the chicks themselves,
when unable to find enough room in their eggs, they will begin to pick them
with their bills, and will themselves come out of them.
The same is true of the question whether the time for destroying the
political form and substituting another form has come or not. If a man, in
consequence of the higher consciousness matured in him, is no longer able to
comply with the demands of the state, no longer finds room in it, and at the
same time no longer is in need of the preservation of the political form,
the question as to whether men have matured for the change of the political
form, or not, is decided from an entirely idfferent side, and just as
incontestably as for the chick that has picked its shell, into which no
power in the world can again return it, by the men themselves who have
outgrown the state and who cannot be returned to it by any power in the
world.
"It is very likely that the state was necessary and even now is necessary
for all those purposes which you ascribe to it," says the man who has made
the Christian life-conception his own, "but all I know is that , on the one
hand, I no longer need the state, and, on the other, I can no longer perform
those acts which are necessary for the existence of the state. Arrange for
yourselves what you need for your lives: I cannot prove either the common
necessity, or the common harm of the state; all I know is what I need and
what not, what I may do and what not. I know for myself that I do not need
any seperation from the other nations, and so I cannot recognize my
exclusive belonging to some one nation or state, and my subjection to any
government; I know in my own case that I do not need all those government
offices and courts, which are the product of violence, and so I cannot take
part in any of them; I know in my own case that I do not need to attack
other nations and kill them, nor defend myself by taking up arms, and so I
cannot take part in wars and in preparations for them. It is very likely
that there are some people who cannot regard all that as necessary and
indispensible . I cannot dispute with them, -- all I know concerning myself,
but that I know incontestably, is that I do not need it all and am not able
to do it. I do not need it
The only way to break the power of oil and opium, remember, is
fanatical informed courage to wage universal Gandhi resistance.

An old letter, thrown in:
In thinking about what kind of political movement the
United States needs right now, some things of general
applicability -- about "Yes Men" -- came to mind.
"Yes Men" are, by definition, liars.
Yes Men stick together.
Yes Men are incompetent, by virtue of being liars.
(Lies are innacuracy.)
Yes Men are immoral, for the same reason.
Yes Men are conspiratorial, by virtue of all of the above.
Yes Men say yes to obtain favor, status, money and power.
Yes Men flatter Rich Men (the Kissinger-Brzezinski-effect).
Dishonest rich men want Yes Men working for them --
finding that honest ethical men mindful of the common
good limit their options.
Yes Men are party men, of course.
Yes Men are loyal (to favor, status, money and power)
Yes Men drive out honest ethical men mindful of the
common good
Yes Men working for rich men is also known as globalization,
mainstream, moderate, Neoconservative, New Democrat,
Establishmentarian, and "People" (as in "People just don't do
that sort of thing" and "What will people say?")
Yes Men create a dishonest unethical conformity of lies
to sustain themselves, to keep out men who contradict
and refute the Yes Man lies -- an iron curtain to keep
out those who oppose the common good to the good
of the Yes Men - Rich Men integration.

Secret CIA Units Playing a Central Combat Role
_
By Bob Woodward
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, November 18, 2001; Page A01 The CIA is mounting a hidden war in
Afghanistan with secret paramilitary units on the ground and Predator
surveillance drones in the sky that last week provided key intelligence for
concentrated U.S. airstrikes on al Qaeda leaders, according to well-placed
sources.
The CIA units, whose existence has not been previously disclosed, are
operating in what amounts to a central combat role in America's
unconventional war in Afghanistan. On Sept. 27, one of these units was the
first U.S. force to enter the country in the current terrorism war, paving
the way for U.S. Special Operations forces. The units also have been
providing the rebel Northern Alliance movement with intelligence on opposing
Taliban and al Qaeda troop concentrations, the sources said.
The units are part of a highly secret CIA capability, benignly named the
Special Activities Division, that consists of teams of about half a dozen
men who do not wear military uniforms. The division has about 150 fighters,
pilots and specialists, and is made up mostly of hardened veterans who have
retired from the U.S. military.
The division's arsenal includes helicopters and airplanes and the unmanned
aerial Predator drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and Hellfire
antitank missiles. Last week, a CIA-run Predator provided intelligence
resulting in three days of strikes that killed key al Qaeda leaders. But it
was unclear what role CIA information played in the successful attack on
Muhammad Atef, the senior operations lieutenant for Osama bin Laden whose
death was confirmed yesterday by the Taliban.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has given almost daily briefings
summarizing the course and accomplishments of the U.S. military action in
Afghanistan, which began six weeks ago. Absent from those briefings are any
details or sense of the CIA's covert role in the battles, a secret war that
has until now remained largely under wraps.
The role of the CIA's paramilitary units has been particularly important in
Afghanistan, several sources say, because much of the war has turned on
intelligence and targeting information. The CIA warriors also bring an
experienced knowledge of the territory and Northern Alliance factions.
In addition to its paramilitary units, the CIA's Special Activities Division
has inserted into Afghanistan specialized CIA case officers from the
agency's Near East Division who know the local languages and had previous
covert relationships with the Northern Alliance going back years.
For the last 18 months, the CIA has been working with tribes and warlords in
southern Afghanistan, and the division's units have helped create a
significant new network in the region of the Taliban's greatest strength.
One source said that the Special Activities Division units have directly or
indirectly helped with hundreds of successful military strikes since Oct. 7,
when the U.S. military bombing campaign began. The handling of intelligence
for airstrikes and the use of the Predator has led to some turf friction and
complaints about sharing between the U.S. Air Force and the CIA, but both
military and nonmilitary sources say the relationship is working and has
provided obvious benefits. The CIA's global response center monitors
critical intelligence and video and is in direct communication with the U.S.
Central Command, which runs the war from its headquarters in Tampa.
In addition to their war-fighting role, the CIA's covert units designate
locations where the massive U.S. humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan is
most needed.
All of this covert CIA work is a key part of President Bush's strategy,
which one source described as an attempt to "deny the sanctuary of
Afghanistan to bin Laden and his al Qaeda network." Bush in September signed
an intelligence order, called a finding, ordering the CIA to use all
necessary means to destroy bin Laden and al Qaeda. About $1 billion in new
funds have been provided the CIA, most of which is for covert action.
The CIA work with the Northern Alliance and tribes in the south is central
to that strategy. Operationally, it means that once the CIA locates
opposition groups in Afghanistan that have the will and capacity to hunt and
kill Taliban and al Qaeda members, those groups will receive covert or overt
U.S. support in the form of weapons, ammunition, food and money.
A unit of the Special Activities Division was the first to enter Afghanistan
after Bush declared his war on terrorism. The unit established a bridgehead
on Sept. 27 for the regular U.S. Special Forces that followed.
These CIA paramilitary units have moved in and out of Afghanistan
periodically, and some have established permanent bases. The special units
work "hand in glove with the special forces and notably have provided a
crucial eyes-on-the-ground capability," a well-placed source said. The
Special Activities Division reports to the deputy director for operations,
the clandestine arm of the CIA.
Before last year, the division was called the Military Support Program, or
MSP, which had existed in the agency for decades.
Senior administration officials attribute a significant portion of the speed
and effectiveness of recent Northern Alliance advances in Afghanistan to the
assistance of the CIA units.
Key has been the precision bombing of Taliban logistics. The sources said
coordination on targeting among the CIA special units, traditional satellite
and signals intelligence and the U.S. military has improved significantly
over the course of the short war, accounting, in part, for the rapid
collapse of Taliban forces. "They can't get food and ammunition," a source
said. "The Taliban communications have been largely severed."
Because the CIA has focused on bin Laden and al Qaeda for years and gained a
strong foothold among the Northern Alliance opposition, several sources said
the Afghan phase of the war on terrorism may turn out to be easier than
coming phases directed at terrorists in other countries where there is less
of a CIA presence.
In some respects, the war on terrorism in Afghanistan appears, at least so
far, to provide some ideal circumstances.
First, the special units have been going in and out of Afghanistan since
1997, and have gained immense operational experience and important contacts,
particularly with the Northern Alliance.
Second, the CIA gained experience during the 1980s covert war in
Afghanistan, when the agency provided massive support and funding to the
mujaheddin rebels, who eventually drove the Soviet army out. The Near East
Division has 10 to 20 case officers with Afghan experience, knowledge of the
terrain and languages, and contacts with anti-Taliban groups and tribes.
Some of these case officers have been inserted into Afghanistan with the
help of the CIA's paramilitary units as liaison and support for the Northern
Alliance.
Third, in the mid-1980s, the CIA set up a counterterrorism center to
coordinate intelligence and operations within the U.S. government. Personnel
are assigned from the CIA, the FBI, other U.S. intelligence agencies, even
the Federal Aviation Administration. Nearly 300 worked in the center before
Sept. 11, and that number has swollen to 900 since the terrorist attacks
that killed more than 4,300.
Nine days after the terrorist strikes at the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon, Bush outlined the plan for the war on terrorism in a nationally
televised speech to a joint session of Congress. He said the war might
include "covert operations, secret even in success."

gold stock -- a source of world confidence in the dollar at low
prices, and doing so to keep the price low (i.e., giving away

The defendants in the GATA/Howe lawsuit are: the Bank for International
Settlements; Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S.
Federal Reserve System and a director of the BIS; William J. McDonough,
president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a director of the BIS;
five major bullion banks, J.P. Morgan & Co., Chase Manhattan Corp.,
Citigroup Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., and Deutsche Bank; and Lawrence H.
Summers, former secretary of the treasury, who by law exercised control over
the U.S.Exchange Stabilization Fund, subject only to approval by the
president.
=========^=====================
Full Story by Swedish Economist Boudewijn Wegerif <b...@jak.se>:
Former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers will seek to have a gold price
fixing lawsuit brought against him dismissed in a Boston court on 9 October,
three days before he is installed as the new president of Harvard
University.
The full story, issued today by Business Wire, appears below. The action
against the Bank for International Settlements, the U.S. Federal Reserve and
Treasury Department, and several bullion banks has been brought by a
consultant for the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, GATA, Reginald H. Howe,
a private shareholder in the BIS.
GATA was formed in January 1999, the same month that the world?s leading
bullion banks, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and ten others, joined together to
form a ?Counterparty Risk Management Group? to, as they put it, ?strengthen
risk management practices?. For six months prior to that, evidence had been
mounting that whenever the price of gold threatened to rise above $300 an
ounce the bullion banks moved in to knock the price back again, mainly by
selling gold borrowed at around 1 percent interest from central banks.
After the formation of the Counterparty Risk Management Group, the price
fixing became more obvious, and it has continued uninterruptedly to the
present day, with only one break through the $300 mark, which was quickly
suppressed by the gold cartel.
The practice has been very profitable for the banks and their principal
customers, through what is called the ?gold carry trade? (see www.gata.org
for an explanation). More importantly, for currency speculators, it has
served to underpin the over-valued dollar.
-----
There will be an end to what William Krehm, the chairperson of the Canadian
Committee on Monetary and Economic reform, COMER, has rightly called the
?cannibalising of the real economy? by the ?financial sector? ? i.e., the
transnational bankers, currency and stock exchange speculators and gold
price manipulators.
In my last two postings I promised an essay on the solar, wind, water and
earth energy economies of regular renewal that we need to be thinking about
for when the love of money feast is finally over. The way things are going,
maybe that day will come before my essay is completed!
Seriously, I am making no obvious progress on the essay, beyond reading good
literature on the subject, and working with the inspirations arising from
that. I also have other commitments. So it looks as if the essay that I said
might take a week to deliver will more likely take a month, or more. The end
result will be good, I hope.
In the meantime, here are three relevant quotations from two past presidents
of the United States and the brother of a third. The first quotation is from
a recent posting to the Earth Rainbow Network e-group by the moderator Jean
Hudon ? globalv...@cybernaute.com - the second was in an email from
Dick Eastman - eas...@wolfenet.com - and the third came from Larry
Morningstar ? ma...@aloha.net .

Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Col. William F. Elkins on 21 November 1864:
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have been
enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money
power of the country will endeavour to prolong its reign by working upon the
prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and
the Republic is destroyed."

Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people

private power."

human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts
to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, s/he sends
forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million
different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which
can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2001
According to a Business Wire release just received, Judge Reginald Lindsay
of U.S. District Court in Boston has scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Tuesday,
October 9, 2001, a hearing on the defendants' motion to dismiss the lawsuit
brought by a consultant for the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, Reginald
H. Howe, against the Bank for International Settlements, the U.S. Federal
Reserve and Treasury Department, and several bullion banks.
The lawsuit alleges collusion by the U.S. government, the BIS, and the
bullion banks to suppress the price of gold.
The underlying issue at the hearing Oct. 9, according to Howe, will be
whether the U.S. Constitution and federal law may be enforced in a federal
court action challenging the authority of former Treasury Secretary Lawrence
Summers and other American officials, working in part through the Bank for
International Settlements, to conduct surreptitious gold price-fixing
operations.
"Wonderful news!" says GATA Chairman Bill Murphy, speaking from GATA's
headquarters in Dallas.
"Recent exposes by Reg Howe and James Turk, which can be read at
www.GATA.org, are devastating evidence that the plaintiffs have been
manipulating the gold price for the benefit of the few to the detriment of
so many, including the poor sub-Saharan gold producing countries in Africa,"
Murphy says.
In an essay published this week, "Gibson's Paradox Revisited: Professor
Summers Analyzes Gold Prices," Howe notes that Lawrence Summers, the new
president of Harvard University, co-authored with Robert B. Barsky and then
Harvard Professor Nathaniel Ropes an article entitled "Gibson's Paradox and
the Gold Standard" in the Journal of Political Economy (vol. 96, June 1988,
pp. 528-550). The article, which appears to draw heavily on a 1985 working
paper of the same title by the same authors, reveals Summers' expertise
regarding gold, gold mining, and the connections among gold prices, interest
rates, and inflation.
Howe notes in his essay: "The unusual and sharp divergence of real long-term
interest rates from inverted gold prices that began in 1995 suggests that
Mr. Summers found an opportunity to do some further applied research on
these matters during his tenure at the Treasury."
Howe goes on: "Around 1995, real long-term interest rates and inverted gold
prices began a period of sharp and increasing divergence that has continued
to the present time. During this period, as real rates have declined from
the 4 percent level to near 2 percent, gold prices have fallen from $400/oz.
to around $270 rather than rising toward the $500 level as Gibson's paradox
and the model of it constructed by Barsky and Summers indicates they should
have."
"Professor Summers was the youngest tenured professor in Harvard's modern
history. On Friday, October 12, 2001, in outdoor ceremonies in Tercentenary
Theatre, he will be formally installed as its 27th president, entrusted with
the job of leading the nation's oldest university -- where "Veritas" is the
motto -- into the new millennium. Three days earlier, in Courtroom No. 11 of
the new U.S. Courthouse on Boston Harbor, the search for the truth about his
interim service in the highest positions at the U.S. Treasury will resume."
The defendants in the GATA/Howe lawsuit are: the Bank for International
Settlements; Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S.
Federal Reserve System and a director of the BIS; William J. McDonough,
president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a director of the BIS;
five major bullion banks, J.P. Morgan & Co., Chase Manhattan Corp.,

La Jornada (May 19, 2001) has implicated the most powerful Establishment

dollars and growing disproportionately to legitimate funds." The $500
billion of criminal and dirty money flowing into and through the major
U.S. banks far exceeds the net revenues of all the IT companies in the
U.S., not to speak of their profits. These yearly inflows surpass all
the net transfers by the major U.S. oil producers, military industries
and airplane manufacturers."
"First thing to note about the money laundering business, whether
criminal or corrupt, is that it is carried out by the most important
banks in the USA. Secondly, the practices of bank officials involved
in money laundering have the backing and encouragement of the highest
levels of the banking institutions - these are not isolated cases by
loose cannons."

The GOP presidential ticket may be fending off questions from reporters
concerning a Swiss investigation linking George W. Bush and Dick Cheny to
big oil's bribes and pay-offs to foreign interests.
by Martin Mann
Gov. George W. Bush and Richard Cheny, the Republican presidential and vice
presidential candidates, known in Washington as the "oil ticket" for their
intimate connections to the petroleum industry, may face worse corruption
scandals in coming months than the lewd, mendacious and cash-hungry Clinton
administration ever did. The Spotlight has learned from European and U.S.
investigative sources.
As Cheney, a millionaire petroleum executive who served as defense
secretary in the administration of George Bus, the candidate's father, rose
to accept the vice-presidential nomination from the cheering Republican
convention in Philadelphia, Swiss prosecutors quietly moved to impound over
$130 million in allegedly laundered funds depositied in Swiss banks.
According to preliminary findings of the Swiss inquiry, the frozen funds
represent under-the-table payoffs slipped to the top government officials of
Kazakhstan by giant U.S. petroleurm companies seeking favored access to that
oil-rich country, a former Soviet province that attained independence after
the collapse of communism.
Adised by Swiss authorities that the suspect acounts -- more than $85
million found hidden in private numbered accounts controlled by Kazakh
President Nursultan A. Nazarbayev in a single Geneva bank, Banque Pictet --
may violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, federal authorities in
New York launched an investigation of
their own.
The U.S. probe quickly focused on James H. Giffen, head of the Mercator
Corporation, known as an influential American financial advisor to
Nazarbayev.
Last month, the Justice Department sent Swiss chief prosecutor Daniel
Devaud a confidential memorandum naming Giffen and his public-relations
company as targets of a formal federal criminal investigation.
According to this memorandum, the Giffen probe was triggered by the
findings of FBI agents in New York indicating that the millions impounded at
Banque Pictet and other Swiss money-centers represented illegal payoffs to
Kazakh officials by three major U.S. oil companies: Exxon Mobil, BP Amoco,
and Phillips Petroleum.
Giffen's alleged role was that of the go-between who secretly transferred
these huge bribes from the U.S. oil corporations along circuitous
international money-laundering routes to Kazakhstan's president and his top
aides.
Spokespersons for Exxon Mobil, BP Amoco and Phillips Petreleum have
denied any wrongdoing. Mark J. MacDougal, a Washington lawyer for Giffen
also denied the charges.
But the Swiss-American inquiry is continuing. If it turns up solid
evidence of bribery by U.S. oil interests -- sources close to the case call
it "the most likely outcome" -- the next time-bomb of a question will be:
How many other petroleum potentates are soiled by this sordid affair?
Until he was offered -- and accepted -- the Republican vice-presidential
nomination this month, Cheny served as president of the Halliburton
Corporation, the world's largest oil-service, exploration and engineering
outfit.
A number of Halliburton's field operations have been linked to Exxon
Mobil's and BP Amoco's overseas ventures in recent years. Investigators are
poised to explore whether these links involved any operations in
corruption-riddled Kazakhstan.
Washington is buzzing with excited rumors that some major Bush campaign
contributors -- long time coronies of the presidential candidate -- will
face not just stinging embarrassemtn but criminal indictment when these
cases hit the headlines, especially if the Republicans fail to gain the
White House this fall. (end of Martin Mann's article of August 14, 2000)

ELEVEN MONTHS AFTER MANN'S ARTICLE, THE NEW YORKER
PUBLISHED THIS ONE BY SEMOUR M. HERSH:
(excerpts)
The Price of Oil; What was Mobil uo to in Kazakhstan and Russia?
by Semour M. Hersh
New Yorker (Magazine), July 9, 2001 Pp. 48-65
In the fall of 1997, an international businessman named Farhat Tabbah filed
suit in London against three American businessmen, the oil minister of
Kazakhstan, and a subsidiary of the Mobil Corporation. He charged that they
had cheated him out of millions of dollars in commissions on what was to
have been a ten-year swap of oil between Kazakhstan and Iran. Mobil and the
other defendent denied the allegations and successfully moved to suppress
all Tabbah's affidavits and supporting documentation. A few months after
Tabbah filed his lawsuit, he flew to the United States and gave his account
of the swap plan to federal authorities. He also turned over seveeral file
drawers of documents, including internal Mobil faxes and memos, to agents
of the United States Customs Service.
Mobil conducted an investigation into its own actions and its potential
liabilities. (American oil companies are forbidden by federal sanctions
from trading with Iran or facilitating such trades without license from the
Treasury Department.) That investigation, which lasted more than a year and
was assisted by Patton Boggs, a Washington law firm, found evidence that J.
Bryan Williams III, a senior executive in charge of many of the conmpany's
overseas crude-oil transactions, may have facilitated the planned Iranian
oil swap. Williams was one of the three businessmen named in Tabbah's suit.
Mobil's senior management, however, then in the process of negotiating a
merger with Exxon, concluded that there was no need to report this evidence
to the Securities and Exchange COmmission or to stockholders. Bryan
WIlliams retired quietly in early 1998, at the age of fifty-eight, and, the
next year, Mobil and Exxon merged to form ExxonMobil, the world's largest
and most powerful publically traded oil company.
Mobil investigators also uncovered an array of unseemly business
dealings that took place in Russia and Kazakhstan in the mid-nineties. MOre
than a billion dollars of Mobil's cash was paid to Russian companies in
unorthodox transactions; questionable accounting practices were followed;
and multimillion-dollar transfers were made that, as a Patton Boggs report
put it in one case, "did not have any apparent valid business purpose." The
investrigators' working papers and summary reports, many of which were
obtained for this article, suggest that Mobil's activities in Russia and
Kazakhstan were not driven entirely by the desire for quick profit. The
company also had a strategic goal: access to Kazakhstan's rich Tengiz oil
field.
Tabbah's court papers and the internal Mobil documents gathered for this
account provide an unparralled view of a major American oil company's
dealings in the former Soviet Union. They raise questions about the
company's decisions to enter deals that ultimately benefitted powerful
figures in the region, including President Nursultan Nazarbayev, of
Kazakhstan, and former Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, of Russia.
A federal grand jury in Washington has been hearing evidence on the swap
allecgations, along with allegations of money laundering and bribery, since
last year. Before a second grand jury, in New York, Mobil and other
American oil companies that do business in Kazakhstan were being questioned
about possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Under the
F.C.P.A., which was passed in 1997, it is unlawful for any American to bribe
foreign officials, either directly or through an agent, "for the purpose of
obtaining or retaining business."
ExxonMobil has refused to permit any of its employees to be interviewed
for this account, and has asked former Mobil employees not to cooperate.
The company has stated that it was not involved in the awap, did not own any
of the oil that was swapped, and did not authorize any employees to
participate in the planning and excecution of the swap. Bryan WIlliams
refuses to be interviewed, but, in a written statement, he denied any
involvement in the swap. Williams also declared that Mobil had approved all
the deals and contracts he worked on. When The New Yorker sent details of
the allegations to ExxonMobil for comment, an outside attorney, Martin
London, responded on the company's behalf, stating that many of the
allegations were erroneous," and that the "broad theme of your attack on
Mobil's business integrity is both incorrect and actionable." It would be
"innapropriate" for ExxonMobil to discuss the allegations specifically,
London wrote, because "there are ongoing grand-jury investigations relating
to the matters addressed in your letter."
The oil industry has long been swapping as a way to reduce the cost of
transporting crude oil, by pipeline or other menas, to refineries. The
arrangement also provides a way to get oil from remote oil fields and
isolated nations, such as Kazakhstan, to market. In a swap, the title to
oil in one location is transferred to oil of an equivalent value that may be
hundreds, or even thousands, of miles away. Because of the potential for
abuse in such complicated transactions, major oil companies carefully
monitor and record their swaps.
"It's extrememly rare for a legitimate company to play pricing games in a
transfer," said Thomas Stauffer, a retired economics professor at Harvard
and Georgetown who specializes in oil and taxation issues. "But in the
Third World --and especially in places like Kazakhstan -- its an invitation
to corruption. You can hide a lot of sins in an oil swap. Title to oil in
any tanker might change a dozen times before it gets to port." Such sins
include oil laundering -- concealing an illegal source of oil -- and
sanctions busting. "Oil is oil," Stauffer said. It can be sold in any
given market at any time." Men like Marc Rich, the fugitive financier who
was pardoned by Presidnet Clinton in January, have earned hundreds of
millions of dollars over the years by brokering oil deals with pariah
nations such as Iran and the former regime in South Africa.
In Mobil's case, the company's inhouse investigators came to believe that
the proposed swap between Kazakhstan and Iran was but one element in a
complex of seemingly high-risk business deals that were devised by Bryan
Williams. The investigation also led to the two other Americans named in
the Tabbah's suit: James H. Griffen, a New York merchant banker and advisor
to Kazakhstan's President Nazarbayev; and Friedhelm Eronat, a businessman
who often acted on behalf of Mobil overseas. The business dealings and
friendships among these three men date back many years, and they have done
billions of dollars worth of deals worldwide. The three might nver have
become the focus of grand-jury scrutiny if they hadn't fallen out with
Farhat Tabbah.
I - GETTING IN
Kazakhstan and the other former Soviet Republics in the Caspian Sea region
(Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan) have become notorious for
exploitation, corruption, and seemingly bottomless fields of oil whose
boundary seldom benefits the average citizen. Almaty, the business capital
of Kazakhstan, still has the solid look, the unemployment, the pollution of
the Soviet days, despite a decade of increasing oil and gas production.
Close to the Presidential palace, however, two new luxury hotels have been
built for the foreign businessmen drawn by the country's natural resources.
The Tengiz oil field is one of the most important finds since Alaska's
Prudhoe Bay, in 1968. The Soivets tried to develop it in the
nineteen-eighties, but instead triggered a gigantic blowout and a fire that
burned for a year, with a column of flame six hundred feet high. Tengiz was
not put into systematic production until the early nineteen-nineties, when
newly independent Kazakhstan sold a half interest of the field to Chevron,
the American oil company. Tengiz's output has steadily expanded since then.
"It's a geologist's dream -- the sort of field you see once in a
generation," Edward C. Chow, a retired Chevron executive, said. "It's a
mother of an oil field, and we still don't know how much oil is in it."
Bryan Williams turned out to be crucial to Mobil's efforts to get into
Tengiz. As executive vice-president of Mobil Sales and Supply, he bought
crude oil from oil companies controlled by foreign governments. A lawyer
turned oil man, WIlliams had graduated from the University of North Carolina
and New York University Law School and spent several years at Sherman &
Sterling, a prominent New York firm. In the early nineteen-seventies, he
joined Mobil. His first major assignment was in Saudi Arabia, where Lucio
A. Noto, who later became Mobil's C.E.O., was in charge of company
operations.
At Mobil, Williams was respected by his peers for his ability, his
panache, and his daring. One retired Mobil senior executive said he was
widely known as a "cowboy" -- a high-flier in a high-flying business.
International spot-market crude-oil prices are extremely volatile -- the
price of oil varies constantly from country to country -- and narrow profit
margins can change within minutes, necessitating snap judgements. It was
accepted at Mobil that successful oil man like Williams needed autonomy,
with no second-guessing, as they routinely committed millions in the hunt
for profits. Williams repaid the trust with smart deals.
He consistenly produced high profits, former Mobil officials told me, and
eventually became a favorite of Noto. "Noto and Bryan were close," DOn
Voelte, a former vice-president who left Mobil in 1997, recalled. ALthough
Williams reported not directly to Noto but to the head of sales at Mobil
headquarters, Voelte said that "Bryan was the go-to guy in the international
trading area." Noto would "always chastize other Mobil folks, saying, "Just
go to Bryan. He knows how to handle these things.'" ANother Mobil insider
tells of a high-level meeting at which Noto signaled out Williams as "the
only entrepreneur in the whole business."
To get into Tengiz, Mobil needed the help of James Giffen, who represented
the Kazahk government. (giffen was identified in press reports last summer
as a target of a federal investigation into corruption and money
laundering.) Giffen grew up in Stocton, California, where his father ran a
men's clothing store. He was graduated from the U.C.L.A. law school in
19654 and spent eleven years with the Armco Steel Corporation, which
struggled during the COld War to gain export approval for the slae of
oil-drilling equipment and steel goods to the Soviet Union. In the
mid-eighties, Giffen set up a banking company called Mercator, based in New
York City. He was brash, intelligent, eager to make money. "I nver had any
evidence that he was anything more than a smart operator," Jack F. Matlock,
Jr., who was the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987 to 1991
recalled. "He was always working for No. 1 -- Jim Giffen. But I could
understand that. I didn't detect anything irregular.
Giffen spent years cultivating senior officials of the COmmunist PArty,
such as Nursultan Nazarbayev, who was the Party's rising star in Kazakhstan.
In the late eighties, Nazarbayev, a former steel worker and engineer, became
First Secretary of the Kazahk Communist Party. After the Soviet collapse,
in 1991, he won the Presidency of the country. Giffen then became an
important Presidential adviser.
Nazarbayev's regime was quick to cooperate with the first Bush
Administration's plans to denuclearize the breakaway Soviet republics; more
than a thousand warheads that had been deployed by the Kremlin in Kazakhstan
at the height of the Cold War were sent back to Russia, without incident.
The CLinton Administration's initial approach was to emphasize the building
of democratic institutions -- a largely futile effort--but it soon turned to
security issues, such as reducing drug trafficking. Diplomacy concentrated
for the most part on providing opportunities for American oil companies
seeking to do business in Kazakhstan, and on plans to build pipelines that
would allow the new republics to deliver their oil and natural gas directly
to the West by way of a Black Sea port in Turkey, thus bypassing both
Russia, to the north, and Iran, to the south.
AMerican officials say that Nazarbayev has misappropriated hundreds of
millions of dollars. He has also shared generously the perrequisites of his
office (as he defined them) with his immediate family. His eldest daughter,
Dariga, controls the national televeision network, and a son-in-law is the
presidnet of a state oil-and-gas pipeline. The country has not prospered
under Nazarbayev's rule. Social conditions have deteriorated steadily;
per-capita G.N.P. is just thirteen hundred dollars a year. The nation is
so burdened with an external debt of more than eight billion dollars, and
with a huge and rapidly growing level of capital flight: a fifth of the
country's total money supply is now stashed in Swiss banks. Nonetheless,
Nazarbayev has been viewed by many in Washington not as a despot but as a
charismatic political leader who could hold his nation together.
According to William Courtney, who was the first American Ambassador to
Kazakhstan, Nazarbayev became "more authoritarian as his power grew, and
came to depend on Jim Giffen more and more." By 1995, Courtney syas,
"Nazarbayev had inserted Giffen as an indispensable go-between for some key
projects."
IN the late nineteen-eighties, Giffen had helped Chevron buy into the
Tengiz field. But a new president of Chevron's overseas division, Richard
Matxke, decided not to deal further with Giffen, and Chevron's relationships
inside Kazakhstan quickely soured. Matzke is said to have proudly told one
colleague that his company "didn't pay a nickle" in middleman's fees after
getting into Tengiz. However, Giffen subsequently demanded a "success" fee
and received it -- seven and a half cents per barrel of Chevron's share of
the Tengiz oil. It earned him millions of dollars in royalties --at least
three million last year alone.
More and more, Kazakhstan insiders told me, Giffen's power became tied to
his ability to help Nazarbayev and his government cronies, including Nurlan
Balgymbayev, the oil-and-gas minister, benefit from the oil business.
Balgymbayev, wh was named as a defendant in Tabbah's suit, began his career,
in the nineteen-seventies, as an engineer in the Soviet oil fields. He
became friendly in those years with Viktor Chernomyrdin and the other men
who created Gazprom, the powerful Russian energy consortium. In 1994, after
an unhappy year with Chevron, Balgymbayev was appointed Kazakhstan's
oil-and-gas minister. He routinely told foreign oil companies seeking to do
business in Kazakhstan that any prosepctive deal had to involve Giffen and
Mercator, which had offices there.
Dan White, a former ARCO executive, siad that when, in late 1995, he
arrived to open an ARCO office in the former Soviet Union a senior American
diplomat in Kazakhstan told him, "The best way to get what you want is to
see Giffen." One afternoon, White happened to encounter the Kazakh oil
minister in a hotel lobby. They exchanged a few pleasantries, and then
Balgymbayev raced off to the airport. At that moment, White recalled, "the
fellow next to him says, 'I'm Jim Giffen,'" and told him, "Dan, nobody gets
to Balgymbayev without coming through me." Giffen paused, White told me,
and said, "You know this is a strange place here. A lot of people carry
guns, and bad things happen to people."

Henry Kissinger in an address to the super secret Bilderberg Organization
meeting at Evian, France, May 21, 1992 said the following as transcribed
from a tape recording made by one of the Swiss delegates:
"Today American's would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to
restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if
they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or
promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples
of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil.
The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this
scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee
of their well being granted to them by their world government."

"You have to understand. Future wars will be
fought by capitalists and anti-capitalists as society polarises. When that
happens, control of information will be as important as control of
territory used to be in conventional conflicts. If you can stop your enemy
from destroying your information, then you have a good chance of winning
the war."
===========
Major General Smedly D. Butler headed the Marine Corps for
many years when he wrote this article in Common Sense in the
November,1935 issue:
"There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military
gang is blind to. It has its 'finger men" (to point out enemies),
its "muscle men" (to destroy enemies), its "brain guys" (to plan
war preparations), and a "Big Boss" (supernationalistic capitalism).
"It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a
comparison. Truthfulness compels me to do so. I spent 33 years
and four months in active military service as a memeber of our
country's most agile military force -- the Marine Corps. I served
in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And
during that period I spent more of my time being a high-class muscle man for
Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a
racketeer, a gangster for captialism.
"I suspected I was just a part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of
it. Like all members of the military profession I never had an original
thought until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended
animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with
everyone in the military service.
Thus I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil
interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and CUba a decent place for the
National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of
half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The
record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the
international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-12. I brought light
to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China
in 1927 I helped see to it that the Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
"During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell
racket. I was rewarded with honors, medals and promotion. Looking back on
it, I feel I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do
was to operate his racket in three city districts. I operated on three
continents."

Top Firms Retreat into Bunker to Ward off Anarchists
By Steve Boggan
June 11, 2001
Some of Britain's biggest companies are running their internet operations
on systems installed in a 300ft-deep nuclear blast-proof bunker to protect
customers from violent anti-capitalist campaigners.
They are renting space in hermetically sealed rooms capable of
withstanding a one Kiloton explosion, electro-magnetic "pulse bombs",
electronic eavesdropping and chemical and biological warfare.
Hundreds of companies have already installed systems in The Bunker -
formerly known as RAF Ash, outside Sandwich in Kent - and dozens more are
understood to be queuing up for space. They have been driven underground
by the IRA bombings of Canary Wharf and Bishopsgate in London and,
increasingly, by concerns over the operations of anarchists behind
sophisticated protests such as the May Day anti-capitalist rallies.
At stake is billions of pounds worth of business conducted over the
internet. Companies are concerned that while electronic security - using
increasingly sophisticated encryption codes - is gradually making
customers feel more confident about conducting credit-card transactions
over the internet, the physical side of e-business is still vulnerable.
The fear is that servers, the small electronic boxes through which
customer traffic and business transactions on the web are channelled,
could be physically vulnerable to theft, damage or sabotage.

CSFB TO FEDS:
LET'S STRIKE A DEAL
http://www.nypost.com/business/32060.htm
By ERICA COPULSKY and JESSICA SOMMAR
October 18, 2001 -- Credit Suisse First Boston's interest in striking a deal
with regulators regarding the probe into the Wall Street firm's allocations
of shares of hot initial public offerings has heated up, according to a
source familiar with the matter.
CSFB's new legal team, under the direction of newly appointed Chief
Executive John Mack, are pressing ahead with negotiations with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to put an end to the highly publicized
investigation that has tarnished CSFB and other Wall Street firms since tech
stocks plunged.
CSFB's renewed initiatives with regulators began this summer when Mack
tapped former SEC watchdog Gary Lynch and charged him as point man to bring
a resolution to the IPO mess.
However, sources at CSFB added that talks between the firm and the SEC have
been ongoing.
A complaint has not been filed by the SEC, and sources say that a possible
settlement may still be a long way off.
To be sure, CSFB's Mack would welcome the chance to get out from under the
probe, which has hovered over the firm like a black cloud for more than a
year.
CSFB and other top investment banks, including Goldman Sachs Group and
Morgan Stanley, are being investigated by government agencies for possibly
mishandling the way they doled out shares of IPOs during the technology
boom. At issue is whether the firms received kickbacks in exchange for
giving clients shares in high-tech IPOs.
Meanwhile, sources close to the investigation said the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks have hindered the investigation process because the SEC's New York
headquarters was based in the now destroyed 7 World Trade Center.
SEC officials declined to comment. A CSFB spokesperson did not return calls
for comment

What is the U.S. Senate going to do?
------------
Here is evidence supplied by the Head of Security of the WTC on network
television indicating that the FBI floors (the 23rd and 24th floors) of the
North Tower -- 60 floors below the crashbombing impact -- had been
devestated and reduced to debris before the collapse of that tower, and that
this same Head of Security himself dug through rubble that had pinned down
two people to get those trapped persons out (they were saved, btw.) These
floors were, thus bombed sometime between the ariel crashbombing of the
building and its total collapse. Most likely it was bombed so that FBI
agents working there would not be able or interested in removing critical
files and evidence that the people behind the sabotage wanted destroyed.
It was on these floors that the entire accumulation of evidence and
investigation briefs on two highly important cases (and all New York
financial investigation cases) were being stored. Two of these involve some
of the most powerful and secretive people in the world:
: 1) the case against Mobil Oil and James Giffen on illegal oil swaps
between Iran and Kazakhstan (at that time before a New York grand jury as
described in great detail by Seymore Hersh in the July 9 New Yorker
magazine); and,
2) even more important, the evidence in the investigation of gold price
fixing stemming from charges brought against Alan Greenspan, Morgan &
Comapy, Goldman Sachs. (see below for full reconstruction of this crime --
that is now all but confirmed by this revelation of a bomb devestating the
FBI floors of the North Tower before the tower collapsed.)
---------------------
Here is how this critical piece of information became known:
At noon I received a phone call from New England from Steve. He was
reviewing recorded footage of NBC coverage of the destruction of the WTC,
CBS Program 60 minutes
Steve has reviewed the footage many times and taken detailed notes.
After South Tower collapsed, men went up to the 22nd floor
of the WTC and "dug" someone out of the "rubble" he
found there. {It is known that these floors contained the New York
FBI offices -- Peter Jennings actually did a two-day network news
story on the effects of the destroyed evidence and files on American
financial crime investigations around the world.]
-----
The 48 Hours anchor was interviewing the Head of Security of the WTC about
the evacuation who had received a call, after the South tower was down, from
the Port Authority's Command Center on the 22nd floor asking for rescue.
The Head of Security himself travelled to that floor in the company of a NY
Fireman where they found the offices devestated to the point where they had
to "tunnel through debris" to "dig out" the two or three Port Authority
workers who were trapped there.
All of this happened 73 floors below crashbombing impact.
[FULL TRANSCRIPTION INSCRIPTION OF THIS INTERVIEW APPEARS IN ANOTHER POST TO
THIS THREAD -- DE]
---
The man who called me about this -- Steve from Main -- said that
he had received a copy detailing the evidence for a terror frame-up
from one of the hundreds of people pester with my posts each day
( whose name I recall from my address book) -- and that he had
been reviewing three lists of occupants of the WTC.
He gave the sites for two different listings of WTC tower occupants,
which I copied as follows:
www.cnn.com/special/2001/trade.center/tenants1.html
tenants by floor and sq footage; and
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/nation/article/tower1.html
occupation my tenancy.
He noticed from these that listings were given for all floors
EXCEPT floors 23 and 24, immediately above the location
of the call for "digging out" rescue -- indicating that the debris
had fallen down from a destructive event occuring on the floor
directly above.
Steve left off with this statement (which I am not able now to
confirm or disconfirm): "The Murrah Building in Oaklahoma
City was where all of the records of the Waco Seige were
being kept. I think this is their MO." Meaning their modus
operandi -- i.e., their distinctive pattern of crime.

Here is the post that prompted Steve's phone call:
----------------
Below I present what I think are incontrovertable reasons for
concluding
that the WTC/Pentagon crashbombings were a frame-up designed to benefit
members of, at least, these four groups:
1) people profiting from the opium trade of the Northern Alliance druglords
and the money-laundering through global investment channels that the opium
trade and the derivative heroin trade supports;
2) people seeking control of the $6 trillion worth of oil and natural gas in
Central Asia;
3) people seeking to win back support to increasingly unpopular Sharonist
policies in Israel; and
4) people arraigned before a grand jury on charges of fixing gold prices,
illegal involvement in oil swaps between Kazakhstan and (sanctioned) Iran,
and bribery in cases where all incriminating documentary evidence was
stored in FBI files and data banks in one of the twin towers of the WTC.
All four of these groups have fluid secret channels of communication through
networked integration of banking, politics, the CIA and Mossad connections.
The fact is if one of these groups was complicit the other three would have
to be also.
Here are three independently developed arguments.
==============================
I. Best guess origins of the WTC/Pentagon crashbombing
frame-up.
=====================
Mossad and the CIA were supporting traffick in
Afgan-opium-derived heroin -- devoting public resources
to protect and assist the suppliers and distributors of the
multi-trillion-dollar money-laundered drug revenue deposits
backing the global investments of American and Britsih elite
finance. The Afgan Northern Alliance druglords grow 70
to 90 percent of the worlds opium, the prime ingredient of
heroin The opium which is moved across the small
China-Afgan boarder for processing and distribution by the
giant People's Liberation Army, that amazing
transnational corporation, Triad drug cartel-and military
super military establishment all in one. Against the tremendous-
stake interests this giant outlaw network, the morally
conservative Taliban had been erradicating Afgan opium production,
supressing supply to druglords and the drug-revenue flow money-
laundering establishment bankers and global investors alike.
Thus "crisis" became the initial motivation of a renegade group of CIA
and/or Mossad in seeking ways to defeat Afganistan's Talibanist government.
(Nothing absurd so far, right?)
Next, the Russian and Kazakh mafias have criminal ties to U.S. executive
James Giffen in Kazakhstan -- a man under investigation by a New York
grand jury in the months before September 11
for illegal involvement in an oil swaps between Kazakhstan
and (sanctioned) Iran (source: the Aug. 9 New Yorker Magazine
for a full account of this by Seymore Hershe -- and all of the
evidence for this crime was being kept at the WTC on the 20th through
25th floor of one of the twin towers where the FBI had its
New York Offices. And James Giffen is the key man everyone has
to go through to get any oil agreement with Kazakhstan --
including any pipelines built that would traverse Afganistan.
(There is $6 trillion dollars worth of oil and gas in Central Asia.)
Giffen certainly understood -- if he did not originate the idea --
that if he couldcan get operatives (even "captured" vengeful Islamic
activists whose rage could be shaped and directed to use of terror)
to destroy the FBI offices in the WTC building and the documentation
evidence it contained, then he would be escape grand jury indictment
-- and, as an powerful added benefit, the (framed) Taliban would get
replaced with a regime in Afganistan that would permit a pipeline to be
built -- preferably a Northern Alliance druglord government that would
harmonize with Giffen's own unethical (murderous) entrepreneural style.
(See the New Yorker artlical for details of Giffen's history.)
(So far this super-crime scheme involves only a small group of people--
Russian Mafia and perhaps a Giffen - renegade CIA or a Giffen
"dark-side" Mossad link. But other, even more powerful players
may have had involvement -- certainly they stood to gain
tremendously if the crashbomb frame-up were successfully accomplished.
(Prior to September 11 charges had been brought against
Alan Greenspan (forgive me -- in a previous post I said "Milton Friedman"
instead of Greenspan -- Friedman is a great and honest and honorable
academic scholar and Nobel Prize winner -- who, very superficially,
looks like Greenspan)
-- at any rate, Alan Greenspan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan & Co. and other
powerful American financial figures and instiutions had charges brought
against them -- reportedly a very well-documented case --over the fixing
of gold prices -- with evidence for that case too stored by the FBI
on the FBI floors of the WTC! These parties would not only profit
heavily from the "carrot" of both oil and drug monies circulating through
thier great
financial instiutions, but they also would gain from avoding the "stick"
of one of the most threatening lawsuits ever to confront the U.S. financial
establishment (realize what a guilty verdict in this case would mean to
these leading financial families and to the Establishment in general!) --
these parties would welcome predictable and certainly substantial
benefits from the the destruction of the evidence in the WTC
and of some of the witnesses and researchers on the case as well.)
Notice that so far we have powerful men with powerful incentives
who characteristically operate in secret and under the protection
of wealth, status and power -- both the carrot ($2 trillion in annual
drug revenues funneled through the banking system -- which has
funded much of the proceeds to fund the development of the
Princeling-Triad dictatorship in China, btw, -- (The communist government
has been in the opium business since the 1930's -- Mao pioneered the
model later followed by Peru's Shining Path and Colombia's Maoist
F.A.R.C. narco-terrorists. And Zhou Enlai devised the plan in the 1950's
of weakening American society through a drug invasion.)
"China white" heroin distributed by the People's Liberation Army,
made from Afgan opium links all banker and oilman to the corrupt
and renegade the secret state agencies, CIA, FBI, and Mossad
-- renegade agents of either agency may have seen this opportunity
for mutual gain and found the way -- having profiles of each of the
players -- to propose the crashbombing frame-up as the best "solution"
to each of players most troublesome problems, while making enormous
profits besides.
Note that the Bush's are tied to both the CIA and oil and, through
Mena Arkansas drug smuggling and through the Iran-Contra
drugs and arms deals etc. (drugworld investigator Daniel Hopsicker,
as well as Noam Chomsky and many others have exposed this
thoroughly -- at least in the broad strokes necessary to support
this reconstruction of the crime.)
(THe facts of the drug connections are known to everyone from
the Russians, to the John Birchers, to Wired Magazine, Harpers,
New Yorker, the Village Voice, the Nation, and Rolling Stone
Magazine, all having explored the drug - Establishment connections
in great detail.)
Which brings us to Ariel Sharon. His hard-head policy of
retaliation regardless of collateral damage and his provocation
at the mosque cost him dearly in world opinion. In fact the
Bush administration was very close to making initiating a major
policy shift -- obviously known to Sharon from the greatest intelligence
organization in the world -- Bush was planning the the
recognition/sponsorhip of a seperate Palestinian state. (Also
war crime charges had been brought against Sharon in international
court, further putting his hard-line policy against the Palestinians
in unfavorable light.
Mindful of Ariel Sharon's self-made hard spot, it is entirely
possible that the same CIA or Mossad mastermind that thought of
the crashbombing frame-up plan in the first place decided to take
the risk of telling Sharon about the plan, offering it as a solution
to the trapped old "freedom fighter's" problems as well. If the
U.S. could be made to think that the hated Osama bin Laden --
that Islamic fundametnalism itself -- is responsible for destroying
twin towers of the WTC and the American government itself,
then, Sharon would certainly grasp, American opinion woudl
radically swing to an extremely hard line against all Moslem
and Arab entities not securely under their thumb, and most
particularly, from Sharon's viewpoint, against Palestinians.
No profile of Sharon gives any indication that he would not
close on such a deal, such a serving of his higher good, his
prime directive.
And that is all that was needed to carry off this operation.
The getting and conditioning/deceiving of hijackers is an easy affair.
Mossad has infiltrated bin Ladin's forces in Central Asia and the Mideast
-- but it is a radically decentralized organization (as it must be to
remain viable)
and so it was an easy matter for this "dark-side" Mossad, with Sharon's
clandestine approval, to trick some very angry and vengeful Arabs into
thinking they were doing bin Ladens or some other anti-Zionist or anti-
Globalization radicals to agree to hijack the four planes. Millions in the
world hated the America and the globalization that the World Trade Center
represents. These recruited hijackers need not have been Arabs -- there
are Croats, Serbs, Latin Americans, and Iranians and any number
of other victim-pool people who could have volunteered to conduct
the hijacking -- possibly without fully understanding the end result of
the mission -- they need not have "signed on" for a suicide bombing.
(Many aviation experts on the net are describing a system built
into commercial airliners for taking over control of flight from the
ground, a system developed to combat terrorism. It is possible
that the course of the plane's flight was taken over by this system
installed to thwart hijackers (detailed in several reports
on the web.) But if the crashes were not effected in this way,
psychological-control methods, wholly sufficient for the job, were
also available. The technology of behavoir control is further
advanced than the popular press has made people aware.
Skilled psy op agents can get subjects angry enough and
convinced enough of the justice and good effects of "acts'
represented as serving their 'cause" to be willing to undertake
even suicidal missions. (Activist Alan Yu has researched this
technology as have other researchers from a broad spectrum
of political orientation.)
And this is all that is needed to conduct the terror act.
But then what?
When the crashes take place -- word merely has to be
put out by those involved (the CIA, Mossad, Sharon
and those complicit in the Bush Administration,
(based on his behavior, my money is on Paul Wolfowitz)
to push the theme that bin Ladin was responsible and that
this aggressive war to overthrow the Taliban is the only
immediate appropriate reaction -- since, the spin goes,
the Afgans are responsible for "harboring" bin Laden and
that "harboring is exactly the same as terrorism" and that
for that reason the entire Afgan government must be
terminated (must be "ended as a state" to use Wolfowitz's
revealing phrasing of September 12.)
The frame-up has all sorts of collateral benefits for the
perpetrators. Now the perpetrators can tell the unsuspecting
that bin Ladin's guilt has been established beyond doubt --
that for the sake of the security and safety of Israel and
the United States that it is necessary that the impression of
an "open and shut case" must be spun. (The news media
is exhorted to be patriotic and exemplary "wartime correspondents"
and sets about selling the blaming of bin Ladin and advocating
war and overthrow in Afganistan -- because they have been
deceitfully led to believe they really know who bombed the
buildings; and among the elite of the news publishers,
they "know" it is in the best interests of Israel and Wall Street
that this be the response, that this be the spin.
And Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair each benefit enormously, politically.
And trillions of dollars are enough to subdue and supress
criticism of the investigation -- after all, who would know better than
the CIA and Mossad exactly who is responsible? (The fact has
been reported -- in a different context, of course -- that the U.S.
intelligence receives all of its ground intelligence from Central Asia
through Mossad's network of infiltrator spies -- in other words,
whatever "proofs" the U.S. has (and has shown Tony Blair and NATO)
has come exclusively through Sharon via Mossad. The "evidence"
so-called, thus, is no counterweight to this reconstruction of the crime.
The "evidence" comes exclusively from the prime "frame-up" suspect.
Has Mossad done this kind of thing before? Remember
the USS Liberty, an American ship with flag flying,
deliberatly attacked and sunk (in multiple attack waves)
with efforts to kill every saior abord -- either to destroy
information that the ship may have intercepted or to
frame Arab states to gain the support of American
public opinion. (There are other cases involving the
blowing up of a disco dance nightclub, again to frame
targeted enemies -- a case actually brought to light
by the non-renegade "good side" Mossad.
The coverup apparently has unlimited resources. Two
Mossad men caught red handed days after the WTC
crashbombings, were carryhing explosive charges and
detonation controls in the government chambers of the
Mexican legislature? Apparently big bribes have been,
because these men have been set free.
One surmises that appeals are made to the bodey man
of a "destabalizing international crisis" is the truth were
to get out. This is ancient cloak of deviant ruling elites.
How many readers -- even if they strongly suspect that
this reconstruction fits the facts -- would not deny the
conclusion anyway because of fear of what this fact would
do to Israel's reputation and thus to her security and survival?
Yet this view may be wrong. If Israeli's on the "good side"
were to arrest Sharon and chase down the renegades of
the Mossad "dark side" and bring them to justice --
tensions in the Mideast would dissolve, and good-faith
restored -- good faith that will never return to the world
as long as the greatest terror frame-up in history is not
corrected by justice and the truth.
Also, if this reconstruction is valid, then that certainly
raises the liklihood that Ariel Sharon was also the
man who gave the order for the murder of Yhitzak Rabin.
Israel's greatest peacmaker (if that title does not go to
Began for his treaty with Sadat.)
Conviction of Sharon would mean that the warmongering
"take-no-prisoners" school of Zionism would at last be
discredited and that the humanitarian way of Rabin
could again be given another chance -- with
the Palestinians gaining restored faith in Israel to be
fair and just after seeing Sharon removed and brought
to justice.
I know that at this point you are poised to throw the
usual tomatoes and call me a "loon" and a "nazi" -- but
I know that those who call me those names are themselves
fearful that this analysis may be right.. (ANd I forgive
you in advance for having to through those tomatoes
out of loyalty and not knowing what else to do in your
uncertainty.)
It is a rotten world all around -- but my advice is
to seek the truth wherever it leads and then to enforce
justice -- justice against the real authors of the Sept 11 terror,
whoever they may be -- to go after Sharon just as strenuously
as you were recently ready to hunt down bin Laden.
And of course, the United States has a similar house cleaning
of its topmost shelves of power and influence -- a job that we
have been putting off since the 1870's. (How the entire world will
benefit from that job!)
(And I should make this clearer: The media are not silent because
they are conmplicit in the terror -- they are silent because they
are "yes men" who "know where their bread is buttered" and they
are not about to jump up and say "Sharon did it" until they see
others in their postions doing so. This is consitent with today's
"Dilbert" world of Establishment-monopolized organizations.
Only an earth shaking event, like the exposing of the Establishment's
role in the WTC terror, will shake down this system.)
Now, let's discuss this intelligently.

======================================
THE ENEMY IS INSIDE THE GATES
by Donn de Grand Pré
A dedicated group of experienced civilian and military pilots, including
combat fighter pilots and commercial airline captains, just finished a
marathon 72 hours of non-stop briefings and debate over the current crisis
evolving from the use of commercial aircraft as cruise missiles against the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September.
The so-called terrorist attack was in fact a superbly executed military
operation against the United States, requiring the utmost professional
military skill in command, communications and control. It was flawless in
timing, in the choice of selected aircraft to be used as guided missiles,
and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected
targets.
As a tactical military exercise against two significant targets (world
financial center and the citadel of world strategic military planning), the
attack, from a psychological impact on the American public, equaled the
Japanese "surprise" attack on Pearl Harbor 7 Dec 1941.
The over-riding question: If we are at war, who is the enemy?
The group determined that the enemy is within the gates, that he has
infiltrated into the highest policy-making positions at the Federal level,
and has absolute control, not only of the purse strings, but of the troop
build-up and deployment of our military forces, including active, reserve
and National Guard units.
PRELUDE TO PANIC
The 9-11 activity and horrific destruction of US property and lives was
intentionally meant to trigger a psychological and patriotic reaction on
the part of the US citizens, which is paving the way for "combined UN
activity"
(using the fig leaf of NATO) for striking key targets in both the Middle
East/ South Asia and the Balkans. The goal continues to be ultimate
destruction of all national sovereignty and establishment of a global
government.
The trigger for the 9-11 activity was the imminent and unstoppable
world-wide financial collapse, which can only be prevented (temporarily) by
a major war, perhaps to become known as WW 111. To bring it off (one more
time), martial law will probably be imposed in the United States.
In each of the major wars of the 20th century, the financial manipulators
(located in the City of London and New York City) had placed the US (and
much of the Western world) in a monetary expansion mode, followed by an
ever-tightening vice of a gigantic credit squeeze. We now have two ongoing
and tightly controlled simultaneous events (emanating from the two symbolic
targets of 911:
1) Alan Greenspan, Fed chairman, promising to flood the market with up to
$200 billion in FRNs and to further lower interest rates, thus bringing
about hyperinflation and dollar devaluation. Much of these multi billions
in
largesse will be dumped into the coffers of Wall Street, Defense, bankrupt
airlines, insurance companies and into the willing arms of debt-ridden
third-world countries in the form of debt repudiation (forgiveness). Call
it bribery, in order to get these often reluctant nations to join our
coalition of "freedom fighters" in "the war against terrorism".
2) Paul Wolfowitz, deputy Defense secretary, promised that the US will
launch "sustained military strikes against those behind the terrorist
attacks on New York and Washington". He said that the "military retaliation
would continue until the roots of terrorism are destroyed."
This bit of saber rattling was seconded by select NATO allies (especially
Britain), and by our chief ally in the Middle East, the Butcher of Beirut,
Ariel Sharon, while Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld, with the blessings
of Pres. Bush 11, is activating thousands of national guard and reservists,
not only to guard the vulnerable airports, but to do fly-overs of our
Nation's
capital in F16s from the North Dakota Air Guard. Other National Guard units
are being jockeyed into potential combat "hot spots" throughout the Middle
East/South Asia and the Balkans.
WHO IS THE ENEMY?
Following is a summary of the near-unanimous views of the assembled
military and civilian pilots concerning certain critical factors relating
to the
WTC/Pentagon hit of 9-11:
Troubling questions arose about the alleged pilot-hijackers of the four
aircraft, who were supposedly trained on Cessna aircraft over the past year
at fields in Florida and Oklahoma. One General officer remarked, "I
seriously question whether these novices could have located a target
dead-on
200 miles removed from takeoff point...-- much less controlled the flight
and mastered the intricacies of 11FR (instrument flight rules) -- and all
accomplished in 45 minutes."
The extremely skillful maneuvering of the three aircraft at near mach
speeds, each unerringly hitting their targets, was superb. As one Air Force
officer -- a veteran of over 100 sorties over North Vietnam -- explained,
"Those birds (commercial airliners) either had a crack fighter pilot in the
left seat, or they were being maneuvered by remote control."
Another pilot warned that "we had better consider whether electro-magnetic
pulse or radio frequency weapons were used from a command and control
platform hovering over the Eastern Seaboard... I'm talkin' AWACS."
Another comment: "If there was an AWACS on station over the targeted area,
did it have a Global Hawk capability? I mean, could it convert the
commercial jets to robotic flying missiles?
A hotly debated question: Who would be in command of such an Airborne
Warning and Control System (AWACS)? Were they Chinese -- Russians --
Saudis -- Israelis -- NATO ? All of these countries possess AWACS-type
aircraft. All (except the Saudis) have the capability to utilize
electro-magnetic pulsing (EMP) to knock out on-board flight controls and
communications of targeted aircraft, and then, to fly them by remote
control.
One of the Air Force officers explained that we had already flown a robot
plane the size of a Boeing 737 across the Pacific to Australia --
unmanned -- from Edwards AF13 in California to a successful landing on an
Aussie base in South Australia. It flies along a pre-programmed flight
path,
but is "monitored" (controlled remotely) by a pilot from an outside
station.
He explained that the London Economist (20 Sep 2001) published comments
from
the former CEO of British Airways, Robert Ayling, who stated that an
aircraft could be commandeered from the ground or air and controlled
remotely in the event of a hijack.
COMMERCIAL JETS AS GUIDED MISSILES
An AP story, dateline Brussels - 7 Oct 01 -- "At Washington's request, NATO
will soon deploy surveillance aircraft for anti-terrorist operations in the
United States in response to the attacks on New York and Washington, NATO
officials said Sunday, an unprecedented use of foreign military forces to
defend the U.S. homeland."
The assembled group of pilots debated why we would ask for foreign forces
to
fly AWACS over our sovereign territory when we have a fleet of 33 of them,
of which 28 are stationed in Oklahoma. The debate also centered on whether
such NATO surveillance aircraft were already here prior to 11 September.
Could one of them have commandeered the four airliners?
There seems to be wide discrepancies between what the Federal government is
proclaiming -- and their media moguls reporting -- as opposed to the calm
and reasoned and rational views of those men who fly the planes and defend
the nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
This writer has been a general aviation pilot since 1946. 1 have flown a
variety of single engine prop aircraft since, and installed an FAA-approved
airstrip here on my farm in 1980. Two local pilots periodically joined me
for short hops; one, a Madison County lawyer, a graduate of the Air Force
Academy, who flew for the Air Force before coming home to practice law.
The other, Kent Hill, who lives with his wife, Carol, on a farm close to
mine, is an American Airlines captain assigned to the European route. He
was
a lifelong friend of "Chic" Burlingame, They were graduates of the Naval
Academy and flew F-4 Phantoms in Vietnam. Both left the Navy 28 years ago
and joined American Airlines. Both planned to retire in 2002. Chic was the
captain of AA flight 77, a Boeing 757, which departed Washington Dulles for
Los Angeles at 8: 10 am on I I September, with 58 passengers and a crew of
6. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:41 am.
"We were totally trained on the old type of hijack," Capt Hill said, "where
you treat the hijacker cordially, punch a 4-digit code into your
transponder
to alert ground control you're being hijacked, and then get him where he
wants to go, set the plane safely on the ground and let them deal with it
on
the ground. However, this is a totally new situation... Not one of the
planes alerted ground control that they were being hijacked." How come?
"The fact is, all the transponders were turned off on the doomed flights
virtually at the same time." Look at their departure times -- two from
Logan
(Boston), one from Newark, another from Dulles (Washington DC) -- all
between 8 am and 8:15.
"Shortly after climb-out to flight level, their transponders are
de-activated.. (they are no longer a blip on the radar screens). This is
something that really needs to be looked into. The only reason we turn them
off is so they don't interfere with ground systems when we land."
(Note: Transponders identify a particular aircraft in flight on the radar
screens of FAA flight controllers located throughout the country. Various
codes are punched into the transponder, one displaying, "I am being
hijacked.")
Although there is much talk among the various flight crews, Hill says they
are not privy to any of the investigations into the events of I I
September.
"We're in the dark -- very much so ... They're playing it pretty tight to
the vest."
He is convinced none of the pilots had control of their aircraft when they
were flown into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The question then
becomes, who was really in control?
"Even if I had a gun at my head, I'd never fly a plane into a building. I'd
try to put it in anywhere -- a field or a river --and I'd be searing the
hell out of them (the hijackers) by flying upside down first," Hill said.
In fact, the pilot has the best weapon in his hand when threatened with
imminent death by a hijacker, namely, the airplane.
Another airline pilot stated. "On hearing a major scuffle in the cabin, the
pilot should have inverted the aircraft and the hijackers end up with
broken
necks."
That none of the four pilots executed such a maneuver points toward the
fact
that none of them had control of their aircraft, but had been overridden by
an outside force, which was flying them by remote control.
As an old and not so bold pilot, I became more convinced that the four
commercial jets were choreographed by a "conductor" from a central source,
namely an airborne warning and control system (AWACS). They have the
electronic capability to engage several aircraft simultaneously, knock out
their on-board flight controls by EMP (electro-magnetic pulsing) and assume
command and remote control of these targeted aircraft.
As we consider all the options -- and enemies -- who performed this act of
war, whether from China, Russia, Israel, an Islamic country, or from NATO,
we must also consider that the enemy may be within the gates.
If so, then we are dealing with high treason.
IS THERE A CHINA - ISRAEL CONNECTION?
Under a heading "High-powered Microwave weapons' (Regnery Pub 1999)
reported:
', the authors of Red Dragon Rising,
High-powered microwave weapons (sometimes known as radio frequency weapons)
which the PLA calls the 'superstars' of warfare, represent the new
armaments
that may define twenty-first century warfare. These very dangerous weapons
can jam electronic equipment by emitting an extremely powerful pulse of
electromagnetic energy over a wide area, or their energy can be focused in
a
narrow beam for use against American satellites I or commercial airliners -
Ed 1.
In that startling and factual work, the authors highlight the exceptional
efforts on the part of the PLA to acquire the latest hi-tech data from the
United States, especially for the "superstars of radio frequency and
electro-magnetic pulse weaponry." In their chapter on "Targeting America",
the authors refer to a bipartisan Cox-Dicks Committee given the task to
investigate "U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial concerns with
the Peoples Republic of China".
They point out that the Clinton administration changed the export control
regulations (Jan 1996) and that by the end of 1998 the PRC had 600 American
super computers.
In 1997-98 the Congressional Joint Economic Committee held hearings on
"Radio Frequency Weapons and Proliferation: Potential Impact on the
Economy". Several experts appearing before the Committee warned that these
weapons pose a distinct threat to the United States. It was revealed during
the hearings that China (PLA) has had a high-powered microwave weapon
program for 25 years under the direction of one of many Chinese students
educated at Berkeley over the years.
The key statement was that the PLA has access to American research --
"through espionage".
Let's fast-forward to 1999 and to a New York Times Op Ed piece by A. M.
Rosenthal (22 Oct 1999), in which he described the long-secret arms deals
between Israel and Red China He was the managing editor of the New York
Times for 15 years prior to that article appearing and a dedicated
supporter
of Israel. However, as a result of that article, he was fired.
The title of his Op Ed was "The Deadly Cargo", and the lead sets the theme:
More often now, the special cargo arrives in China from Israel -- riles
from
Israeli military computers, crates with the makings of missiles and other
weapons, and the men in the lab coats, the engineers and scientists who
know
how to put it all together...
And now I see the Chinese minister of defense, who is one of the ranking
Tiananmen killers, visits Israel. I read obsequious Israeli speeches
praising him and his government...
The two countries talk openly about bigger arms deals in the making. I
learn
that the Chinese have knit together Russian and Israeli specialties...
The Russians are converting Ilyushin planes into the framework of U.S.-type
flying command posts (AWACS) and will ship them to Israel...
In an astounding interview by Tom Valentine (24 Oct 1999) on Radio Free
America with Andrew St. George the two developed the emerging scandal of
Israel's secret arms deal with Red China. They referred to the Cox
Committee
hearings and stated that "unfortunately , the official Cox 'investigation'
into China's capture of American technology covered up Israel's
involvement."
Valentine stressed that the Reagan administration allowed the trade to
escalate in the 1980s, with the help and encouragement of such officials as
Richard Perle, Stephen Bryen, Fred Ickle and Paul Wolfowitz ..."They were
the kingpins of the Defense Department in the Reagan years."
In case you missed it, they are now back as key advisers to President Bush
II; in fact, the leading war hawk pressing for our armed forces to go to
war
against the Muslim World is the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Paul
Wolfowitz.
We are being deluged by the current crop of Israel Firsters, all shouting
"It's time to declare war". and "First war of 21st Century" ( Alan
Dershowitz on CNN - William Kristol, Washington Times - Leonard Piekoff,
Washington Post)), and former Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu,
appearing before the U.S. Congress,
QUO VADIS? (Whither Goest?)
To better grasp where we are heading (other than to the Khyber Pass), we
can
dip back to recent history (Vietnam, Korea, Desert Storm, Kosovo) to get a
better focus of the direction we are going, even though our
commander-in-chief has yet to define the specific enemy.
"Terrorism is like sin; everybody is agin'it."
To those of us who have actually engaged an enemy (often contrived) on the
battlefield, and/or who have an-n-chaired other wars from a vantage point,
say, the E-Ring of the Pentagon, the pomposity and solemnity and the
speechifying of our fearless politicians, as well as their favorite talking
heads on the idiot box, is eerily familiar. It is in fact d~ja vous all
over
again.
Once again, we will rely on "perpetual war for perpetual peace" to bring us
out of the abyss of a major financial collapse. We either turn out the
Barbarians Inside the Gates, or we prepare for the long dark night of no
return. There is no longer a third option.
It's curtain call at the Little Theater off Times Square... Be There!

Dear Golda
Your goal of turning things around in a "civilized manner" is also
my own.
The essay is being circulated around the world, with men of good will
looking at it and trying to determine a course of action. We have definetly
breached the enemy perimeter with this one -- the goal is for the American
people to win with minimum cost of lives and heritage.
I enclose the most readable copy of this researcher's version of the
frame-up/ cover-up thesis. Also, here is an effective compilation of
supporting documents. (Even this could a competent writer -- know anyone
competent and willing to write the first frame-up book? I'll give him
everything
I have (which is scattered around the internet anyway.)

Mr. BEREUTER. Mr. Rohrabacher, I certainly do agree with you with respect
to the contributions and plight of the Afghan people, and also the
importance
of what we have to do with respect to the Central Asian republics. I hope
that the hearing today helps contribute to what you and I will have to
pursue
with our colleagues.

(Thanks to Betsy S. )
========================================
Here is a man, Mike Ruppert, who strongly disagrees with the
frame-up analysis:
Mike Ruppert's views appear in "Lower-case letters""
Dick Eastman responds in "CAPITAL LETTERS"
================================
This is patently and demonstrably inaccurate information. I encourage any
who are spreading to stop it immediately. To suggest that the Mossad are
business partners with the Taliban is beyond stupid. It indicates the need
for psychiatric medication.
YOU HAVE IT WRONG, FRIEND. I SUGGEST THAT THE CIA AND MOSSAD HAVE AN
ALLIANCE WITH THE "NORTHERN aLLAINCE" DRUG LORDS, WHO SUPPLY OPIUM (YOU SAY
75 PERCENT, OTHER MAINSTREAM SOURCES, E.G., NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, BBC ETC.
SAY 80 OR 90
PERCENT -- THE DIFFERENCE IS INSIGNIFICANT -- EVEN AT 25 PERCENT THE
INCENTIVE IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO MOTIVATE MAJOR CRIMINALITY.
Afghanistan does not produce 80-90% of the world's heroin. At its peak in
2000, Afghanistan produced 75% of the world's opium. It produced almost none
last year. Almost Afghan heroin has been sold in Western Europe for the last
decade. Involving the Chinese would mean smuggling in the wrong direction;
send it east to get it west.
"China White" does not come from China. It is a generic name that refers to
the fourth stage of refinement. It can be made in Mexico or Colombia or
Thailand or Iran. As a former LAPD narcotics investigator who was trained
also by the DEA I know this to be a fact
YOU ARE QUITE A FORMER INVESTIGATOR INDEED TO
CLAIM TO KNOW EVERYTHING THE CHINA TRIADS
ARE NOT DOING.
AT ANY RATE, THE POSITIVE INFORMATION YOU GIVE
IS NO WAY INCONSISTENT WITH THE FRAME-UP
ANALYSIS YOU SEEK TO DISCREDIT-- HEROIN "CAN BE
MADE AND DEFINITELY IS MADE IN CENTRAL AND EAST
ASIA AS WELL - THE CRUCIAL
POINT IS THAT HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
WORTH OF WHAT IS MADE IS MADE FROM NORTHERN
ALLIANCE OPIUM. (i ALSO NOTE JANET RENO'S TENDENCY
TO INVESTIGATE AND BUST ONLY THE COMPETITIORS OF
THE CHINESE-AFFILIATED DISTRIBUTORS -- A TENDENCY
THAT IS CONTINUING TODAY UNDER ASHCROFT? THE
POINT IS THAT YOUR BACKGROUND HELPS, BUT IT IS
NOT CONCLUSIVE AUTHORITY -- AND IN FACT, GIVEN
THE OTHER INFORMATION, IT IS OUTRIGHT WRONG.)
I have never seen ANY credible information that the PLA distributes it.
THAT'S FUNNY NEITHER HAS MY AUNT MILDRED. WHAT A COINCIDENCE.
In fact, the cash flows through the Caucasus and the Balkans remove any
possibility of Chinese involvement.
WHY DO YOU CONSTRAIN YOUR COUNTER-ANALYSIS TO JUST THOSE TO AVENUES? THE
HEROIN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GOES TO THE U.S.,
THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL, TO THE LARGEST CONTAINER PORT IN THE WORLD IN THE
CARRIBIAN, OWNED BY THE P.L.A. AND COSCO.
60% of the U.S. heroin supply originates in Colombia.
YOU HAVE GREAT CERTITUDE HERE -- BUT THE F.A.R.C. ARE AFFILIATED WITH THE
CHINESE -- THEY ARE PART OF THE LONG-STANDING FOREIGN POLICY OF PROMOTING
WARS OF NATIONAL LIBERATION DEVELOPED BY ZHOU ENLAI -- DRUGS IS HOW THEY
GET THE MONEY TO LEVERAGE THEIR POWER. (LOTS MORE ON THIS IF YOU NEED IT,
There has never been any credible evidence that the Mossad is in business
with the Taliban or the Northern Alliance while there is an abundance of
evidence that the CIA has been for a long time.
WHAT I HAVE CLAIMED IS THAT THE MOSSAD HAS 'INFILTRATED' CENTRTAL ASIA WITH
AGENTS -- I DID
NOT SUGGEST THAT MOSSAD IS ALLIED WITH
TALIBAN -- IS THIS A PIECE OF DISINFORMATION
YOU HAVE INJECTED TO MAKE THE FRAME-UP
ANALYSIS APPEAR ABSURD TO THOSE WHO READ YOUR
REBUTTAL WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE ORIGINAL DICUMENT.
A documented, sourced and verified analysis of the Afghanistan heroin
situation has previously been posted to this list. It is also available on
my web site, www.copvcia.com. The server company pulled the site today
because we have been getting so much traffic that we blew their servers. We
will be up and running within 48 hours.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALING ABOUT HERE. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR
SITE. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ANALYSIS.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR ANALYSIS. BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN
NEW TWISTED SPIN IN SOME NEWSPAPERS ATTEMPTING TO SAY THAT
THE TALIBAN IS PRO-OPIUM -- THE FACT IS THAT OPIUM WAS CUT DOWN BECAUSE
THE TALIBAN -- WHO OPPOSE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL -- ERRADICATED OPIUM (MY SOURCE
HERE WAS AN IN DEPTH REPORT
ON NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO'S ALL THINGS CONSIDERED -- AS WELL AS OTHER
MAINSTREAM SOURCES -- AS WELL AS INFORMED HONEST MEN
ON THE NET.
Whoever originated this b.s. story should be totally ashamed for their lack

Here, in two postings, is overwhelming evidence that the crashes
were remotely controlled, that the "terrorists" were on what they
thought was a hijacking mission, but were themselves "stung" when
control of the planes was taken over by remote controllers.
Several articles by several people lend support to this aspect of
the frame-up/cover-up explanation of the September 11
crashbombings and the conquest of Afganistan.
The sabotage of New York-Cario flight EgyptAir flight 990,
on 11-31, 1999.
The hijackers, never suspecting a suicide mission, were "stung," by (CIA?,
Mossad?, renegade Mossad?, Mafia?) infiltrators posing as al Qu'eda field
leaders on a mission under orders from bin Ladin. It was infiltrators of al
Qu'eda who gave the long-waiting Qu'eda moles the right activation passwords
and a set instructions to set a hijacking in motion -- but later, when the
ordered hijacking was underway the infiltrator handlers on the ground
(offshore?, in an AWAC?)took remote control of the planes, turning them
into cruise missiles. (The infiltrators were most likely Mossad and not CIA
because the the Israeli government has told us that the U.S. has no
infiltrators in Central Asia and is dependent upon Mossad for all of its
on-the-ground intelligence there.
I am convinced that no one was knowingly on a WTC suicide mission. The
4 planes were all taken over by remote control on 9-11-10 after the
hijackings were begun.
The FBI has uncovered letters of the hijack suspects indicating that they
were expecting to be arrested following the hijacking, that the hijacking
was understood by the "set-up" hijackers to be a relatively harmless
operation to draw attention to some cause.
But the hijackers themselves were being misled as part of a grand
counter-espionage sabotage frame-up sting. They were not aware that they
were taking orders from Mossad agents and not Qu'eda (some even suggest
that the bin Laden himself may be a double agent in his own organization,
based on his prior CIA ties and the current economic ties of his family with
both Presidents Bush.
Crashbombing by Remote Control
And this was not to be the first time that a passenger jet was crashed by
remote
sabotage --
EgyptAir 990 was crashed in a "test" for the WTC operation, on Halloween
morning, 11/31/99.
On November 31, two years ago, , EgyptAir flight 990, a giant Boeing 767
took off from New York's JFK Airport bound for Cairo Egypt with 100
Americans and 87 Egyptians aboard.
The takeoff had been successful and routine, but at one half hour into the
flight, at 1:48:30 ----at a moment when the pilot left the controls for a
trip to the toilet and the co-pilot was left in the cockpit alone -- an
English voice can be heard on the black box recorder saying "control it"
(the co-pilot was Egyptian and had not been speaking English with the pilot
that morning) -- when suddenly, one must conclude, control of the plane
taken from him,i.e., the cockpit controls were bing overridden. -- After
some seconds the co-pilot, reacting to his losse of control to a phantom
controller, says,
"I'm trusting you Jehovah" (or "I'm in your hands, Jehovah") --"Tawakkalt
ala
Allah.")
The co-pilot then attempted to disengaged the auto-pilot to restore control.
Control was not restored. The co-pilot again reacted with this prayer
exclamation as the elevators dropped putting the plane into a dive. After
sixteen seconds of this dive the Captain returned to the cockpit asking
"What happening? Whats happening?" Now captain and co-pilot were
presumably working to pull out of the dive, but the controls were not
responding and now the throttles turned up to full forward -- at which
point the co-pilot cut the fuel lines. Then by phantom control the right
and left elevators each moved all the way in the opposite directions and the
ailerons on both wings both went fully up. The pilot cried "Get away in
the engines! Shut the engines!" To which the co-pilot
replied, "It's shut." The last words are those of the captain frantically
instructing "Pull! Let's pull! Let's pull!" At this point something shut
off the instrument recorders (or they were later erased).
The American investigation said that the co-pilot committed suicide, with
the Egypt AIr and the Egyptian government insisiting that that is an
impossible interpretation of the audio message. The Egyptians -- who
understand the language -- insist that that is an impossible interpretation
of last moments of conversation recorded or of the earlier conversation at
takeoff, and that the co-pilot gave no evidence of emotional instability.
------
Now in light of the above, an article from the New York Times,
becomes more significant:
"One F.B.I. official said the prayers found at the crash sites seemed
to exhort the foot soldiers to be strong in prison - unlike the four-
page set of instructions and prayers found in Mr. Atta's luggage,
which made it clear he believed he was going to his eternal paradise."
===================
Dear Mr. Eastman:
What you relate about the EgyptAir flight would appear to be from a
transcript of the cockpit voice recorder. I would like to obtain a copy for
myself; where did you get yours? Also, your assumption that this was a test
fits the timeline very well. It would have done the planners no good to have
a bunch of people from the Middle East spinning their wheels going from
flight training school to flight training school because of the security
problems they would raise while making sure the technology to do the deed
worked properly.
What this means for the motive is huge. The private actors involved would
need to have had their motive formulated prior to November 1999, and the
Russian, British, Pakestani, Israeli and US governments (among many) changed
administrations between then and now. Thus, if planners were a part of the
US government, then they were quite possibly already ensconced in the
government. However, it is entirely possible, perhaps even more probable,
that the planners were private actors in 1999, but became part of the
government in 2001. Yet, there is a third possibility: The planners were
never a part of the government. And of course, there is the potential that
some combination of all three is the reality. As I see it, the main actors
are external to the government but operated with the consent of or knowledge
by the highest level of government.
Another question: Wouldn't each plane have needed its own external
controller? I also doubt that the planes were controlled by an AWACS;
remember your robber analogy about keeping it simple and not taking risks:
Too much can go wrong with an airborne platform, including detection, so
ground controllers makes more sense (Die Hard 2). All of this implies a
link to the manufacturer of the remote equipment or theft of same provided
to the Air Force. I seriously doubt any participation by another country in
this aspect of the plan.
Yet another question: How many conspirators, not including those who "died"
on the planes, who knew about the ultimate end of the plan are involved?
First, there are the four controllers. Second, the person(s) controlling the
controllers (although, even this person isn't needed). That's it as far as I
can tell. All other involvement could easily be compartamentalized, but this
additional number of actors isn't necessary for the sufficient outcome of
the plan. It's entirely possible that the controllers acted as the
financiers, recruiters, and messengers. It would also have been possible to
place the numerous buy orders for the stocks in question from one location
via computerized transactions. Only one recruiter would be needed in
Chechnya, and that same person was most likely the handler upon the recruits
arrival in the US for reasons of security. One, possibly two, are the
financiers and stock traders. And someone had to procure the technology,
know how to use it, and train the other controllers in its use. Yes, it's
certainly possible that the group is larger than 4, but it need not be, and
this creates a large problem on one hand and a small one on the other.
Finding 4 needles in the many haystacks to be searched will be difficult,
but those needles have very singular attributes. The easiest one to find
will be the procurer of the technology; second, will be the recruiter; and
third, will be the financier(s)/stock trader(s). Proving any government(s)
complicity might prove difficult. For example, Bush might plead that his
situation is like Kennedy's after the Bay Of Pigs: He didn't know the
overall scope of this updated Operation Northwoods. The same will hold true
for Cheany, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, and Wolfowitz. I can hear it now: "It's
all the fault of that womanizing, immoral Clinton." (And it might be!) I've
given a great deal of thought to this, and although the whole event was very
complex on its surface, it would be entirely possible to carry it off with
only 4 actual conspirators.
I know what you're thinking: I haven't mentioned the bombs on the inside of
the WTC. I believe this part of the plan has two potential scenarios: 1) it
was compartamentalized, the explosives placed weeks if not months prior to
11 September, and the
people who placed the explosives were eliminated. Or 2) it is entirely
possible that our 4 controllers placed the explosives themselves weeks if
not months prior to 11 September. Certainly, the controllers would have had
to set off the explosives because only they knew the precise moment of
impact. This places two of the controllers in the New York vicinity, one in
the DC vicinity, and the other somewhere in Pennsylvania. All controllers
would need to have direct visual contact with their planes as they
approached their targets. This implies a high altitude vantage point with
unobstructed sight lines. I know I ruled out airplanes (AWAKs) above, and I
still do because of the high air traffic density over the target areas. This
leads to the question: How powerful a transmitter would be needed to send
the signals that controlled the planes and detonated the explosives? Another
set of questions just occurred to me: Do we know when the transponders of
the planes were turned off, especially the one over PA? Speculation is rife
about the target for the PA plane, with a nuclear reactor being the latest
hunch; what do we think given the available facts as we see them? The answer
to this question is important because we can then begin to figure out the
location of the fourth controller.
That's enough for now. Remember Ockam's Razor before you argue for more than
four planners.
Sincerely,
"Dan Smith"

planes
had much less fuel than the one that hit the wooden homes.) Never mind many
people saying they heard explosions in the other sky-scrapers and shut your
ears to witnesses saying they heard explosions
in the third plane that crashed this week. (Remember, all 3 planes crashed
in
New York too.)
The "boob-tube" is convincing you the rudder ripped off first and the two
engines came off second. This is not what witnesses standing out side
heard
and saw -like the pilot that talked to Brian Gumble on TV at 11AM- that
morning had stated.
They said they saw a plane with no engine and fire where the engine was
located, then the other engine off in their view, next , the rudder came
off but they thought it was a piece of the wing as the plane flipped over
and
nose dived down.
The plane was 800 to 1200 ft.in the air and was doing around 200
mph-barely
flying. This would not be enough stress to fling a man off of it as he
clung
onto it with his finger nails.
Oh..No? Have you seen the old World War One dare-devils in "dog-fights"
with shot up planes -smoking in fire-they fought for hours in the sky
>rolling over and flipping at high stress conditions.
Have you seen the civilian pilot-co-pilots standing on wings - during the
Roaring 20's-as the planes would flip and roll and turn over vertically
and horizontally??The stunt men were still there when they landed on the
ground.Also, the extreme stress of all of that crazy flying never snapped
a plane in half.
Have you seen the movies of military pilots-like "Top Gun?"
Have you ever watched PBS or on satellite TV, the Discovery Channel or
the History Channel of both World War I and World War II dog-fights in the
sky?
Have you ever watched bombing raids and airborne rangers bailing out?
These planes were shot up with dozens of bullets sometimes being hit by big
guns
and explosions blowing off chunks of the plane and they still flew them
back to base -many times!
In miles of vintage war film footage you watch some crash from 20,000 feet
in complete spinning nose-dives and not one wing,or rudder,or horizontal
stabilizer rips off from the high altitude and high speed fall -and the
plane is gapped with holes from being shot down.
But, these days with our modern high technology some 50 to 75 years later,
our planes just fall apart at low altitude and low speed as if they are
put together with Elmer's Glue- and they weren't even shot up or blown up.
Remember a few years ago when the entire top of a plane ripped off and the
passengers made it back for a safe landing by wearing their oxygen
masks?(I can't remember if that was a bomb or what that did that?) In
any,event it was at high altitude and it made it back down safely. That
plane looked
like a convertible with the roof rolled back, only the floor structure held
the
> entire plane together-windows and all were gone.
The Empire State building was hit by an Airforce bomber-B-29 or
something-and it only had a few chips of concrete fall from it.
It is either simply corporations are making and maintaining planes and
buildings so cheap now or else we have something much more high tech and
clandestine happening here.
There was much more fuel in the plane on the ground that only burned up a
> few wooden homes than they planes that traveled for miles and then melted
> the steel Twin Towers. This is very strange.
The plane that just crashed acted as if it hit 3 giant steel wires
stretched above the houses. Wire one ripped off the first engine, wire two
ripped
off the second engine seconds later , then wire three ripped off the
rudder -vertical stabilizer. The rudder section could have been ripped off
as after it rolled over to crash.
Witnesses said one engine was off that area of the wing was on fire. The
plane tilted sideways,then the other engine was in view and it ripped off,
then the vertical stabilizer-rudder came off.
Now, let us use our imagination here. Suppose you are Black Operations
team sitting in a building aiming a new directional Star Wars type weapon at
an
airplane. Like a sniper with a rifle you only see one side of the plane.
You take out the engine , the plane rolls sideways and you can see the other
wing, now you can take out the second engine, and it is almost over head
so you zap the vertical stabilizer which is in the horizontal position
overhead now.
Power on, zap,zap and zap,then Boom. Is this what the witnesses heard?
Gee? What a Conspiracy Theory?Well, back to reality. Planes, I suppose, are
just so cheap-- like the sky scrapers these days --we should never get back
into any of them ever again. I boycott both for life!
But, just for the fun of it, about a thousand of us on the Net need to go
to Internet search engines - like Google-and do some link to link to link
digging into this matter. Just for kicks type in: Star War Weapons, Sonic
Weapons, Laser Weapons,Phaser-Orgon Weapons, Plasma Weapons, and other
research that the Department Of Defense has been allocated to work
on -under
Col.John Alexander and others of the D.O.D.(Doctors Of Death). They have
been given trillions of dollars after W.W.II up to now for this very
research.
But, on the other hand it makes us feel better if we just our minds off
to it-right?We can say corporations just build things cheap these days. It
is
true that cars and guns and appliances and tools were made heavy but solid
and lasted through much usage. We just don't build things like that
anymore because we don't build anything anymore!
We don't like to get out of our comfort zones with these issues do we?
Besides, if we question the CIA's TV dominance we may wind up on their
"red-list" and get carpet-bombed also-right?
While you are at it, read his books - one is under Steve-"Future Warrior"
and the "Warriors Edge". In one of them he or Steve Anderson states it is
to eliminate the Constitutionalists,Libertarians,Conservatives and Christian
Fundamentalists . Now, what are they doing in the Middle -East? They are
eliminating the Muslim fundamentalists over seas. Homeland Security,
Martial
Law and UN-NATO troops will do the eliminating over here someday too. I
mean, after all they have already written about it many times in many
places-they said they would. And, they will!
This in my opinion is also a part of the Masonic "Ordo Ab Chao"-they
secretly create the chaos ,blame it on somebody else or something else,then
come up with their solution for a serene society.
By the way, all the players in this -the President,the Secretary Of
State,Attorney General,and the leader of Home Land Security -are all
members of the good-ol-boy occult clubs like Masons, Skull-and -Bones-,
Rosicrucians,Knights of Columbus, CFR, etc. It is in their very nature to
operate this way-- in the shadows- to seize,and hold economic fortunes
from the masses and then be appointed by the same blind masses to political
power from generation to generation.
> But, on the other hand, be logical and practical about this , we are not
the nation we used to be. We used to make good solid products- now we have
lost our production capabilities. We used to have free speech,the right to
privacy, the right to private property and self defense with weapons of
our own. But, they are getting ready to take all of that away from you also
within the next 5 to 15 years.
Within two decades the United States of America will be something on some
strange video or in some strange underground history book you will have to
hide to read or view in a closet or attic out of the way of government
spy cameras.

============================
Was the CIA running a terrorist flight school?
By Daniel Hopsicker
November 7, 2001
Your "legend" is your cover story, in intelligence parlance; the lie that
holds together long enough to let you skip the country . . .
The legends of Rudi Dekkers as "flight school owner" and Mohamed Atta as
"fanatic Islamic fundamentalist" have been fraying at the edges since the
collapse of the World Trade Center.
Still, they may have lasted long enough to do the job for which they were
intended. With a war on, no one seems to be losing sleep over the fact that
the version of events currently being peddled about the Sept.11 disaster
relies on what one law enforcement source wryly calls "the Magic Dutch Boy"
theory.
In the Kennedy assassination, "the Magic Bullet" theory allowed the FBI to
apply Lee Harvey Oswald's "lone nut gunman" tag. The current "lone nut cadre
theory" of the FBI for the Sept 11 disaster, goes this latest reasoning,
will only fly through use of a similarly-twisted logic trail, one now being
called "the Magic Dutch Boy theory."
It goes like this:
Both of the pilots who guided planes into the twin towers of the World Trade
Center had trained at Rudi Dekkers' Huffman Aviation when they first got to
America. Dekkers, a Dutch national, had only recently purchased the flight
school located at the small out of the way Venice, Florida, Airport.
The terrorist duo practicing touch and goes in the humid September air on
Florida's Gulf coast were soon joined by a third student terrorist pilot,
the one on UAL Flight 93. He signed up at the Florida Flight Training Center
almost next door to Dekkers' Huffman Aviation, making it a terrorist
trifecta out at the unsuspecting Venice Airport.
Just like Dekkers' Huffman Aviation, this second flight school had also just
changed owners. And the new owner of this flight school, too, turns out to
be a Dutch national. His name is Arne Kruithof from Rotterdam in the
Netherlands.
The magic Dutch boy theory says that the appearance of these two foreign
nationals, both Dutch, purchasing flight schools at the same time at the
same airport is merely a "magical" coincidence . . .
Because if the appearance of a second Dutch national purchasing a flight
school right as the terrorist cadre show up isn't just a strange coincidence
belonging on Ripley's Believe it Or Not . . . then they're hiding what looks
unmistakably like a covert intelligence operation down in Venice.
It being Florida, that means the CIA is reputed to be active in the state.
"Two Dutch boys buying adjacent flight schools which shortly thereafter get
'overrun' by terrorists is one damn Dutch boy too many," stated our law
enforcement source. "It's untidy."
Was the CIA running a covert, or black, operation out of the Venice Airport?
Might they have been training pilots for bin Laden in an effort to penetrate
his organization that went more-than-just-slightly-horrifically awry?
Will we someday be adding "Magic Dutch Boy" to the "Magic Bullet" Wing of
the Secret History Museum?
The local Venice Gondolier two days after the disaster ran a huge black
headline reading: "Evil in our own backyard."
Underneath it they had placed a picture of Rudi Dekkers facing a phalanx of
TV cameras out at the Venice Airport. The irony of the juxtaposition did not
go unnoticed.
"At first everyone just thought it was kind of amusing," an aviation
employee at the airport said, "because it made Dekkers look like he was the
'evil' in our backyard, which the newspaper probably didn't mean."
Pause. "And then it hit me. Dekkers had purchased his aviation school at
just about the time the terrorist pilots moved into town and began their
lessons."
Is Rudi Dekkers just an innocent aviation executive whose flight school
received the most unfortunate business publicity since Ryder Trucks at the
time of the Oklahoma City bombing? Or is there a darker reality lurking
behind his widely promoted public persona?
Reporters swarmed the Venice airport in the days after the identity of the
terrorist pilots and their relationship with the local flight schools became
known. An analysis of their stories reveals that there were two different
versions of events being given by flight school representatives; versions
that were in disagreement even on basic chronology, such as which of their
schools the terrorists attended first.
A flight instructor at Jones Aviation Flying Service, Inc., which operates
from the Venice-adjacent Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, told the
Associated Press that Atta and Al-Shehhi arrived in "September or October"
and asked to be given flight training.
Jones Instructor Ivan Chirivella said the two came to Jones Aviation from
Huffman Aviation in Venice. Chirivella said he spent four hours almost every
morning from September to October last year instructing Mohamed Atta, 33,
and Marwan Yousef Alshehhi, 23.
But Rudi Dekkers at Huffman Aviation, who has been getting all the national
face-time, had been telling a different tale.They signed up at Huffman in
late July, he stated in innumerable interviews, and stayed until December or
January. The two cadre principals paid $20,000 apiece at the rate of $1000 a
week.
Dekkers says the terrorist were at his school, located a half an hour south
of Sarasota, down the Tammiami Trail, an old Indian path that wends through
the mangrove swamps of Florida's Gulf Coast, at the same time the two Jones'
Aviation instructors say the terrorist duo were flying four hours every
morning with them.
Dekkers told his new buddy Larry King, and anyone else with a microphone who
would listen, that when Atta & Co. showed up at his school they were already
grumbling about a bad experience at another school. This directly
contradicts the story the two Jones instructors gave reporters.
Why can't the flight instructors at the two schools get their stories
straight? Did Atta and his sidekick attend both flight schools at once?
Here's another journalistic snapshot that gets a little blurry when you look
at it a little closer:
In their inimitable British tabloid style, London's Mirror TV filmed a
segment at the Venice Airport two days after the disaster, which they
slugged: "IN THE COCKPIT WHERE A HIJACKER LEARNED TO FLY!"
"THIS is the cockpit of the light aircraft in which hijackers Mohamed Atta
and Marwan Al-Shehhi learned to fly," the Mirror's American correspondent
told British viewers.
"Under the guidance of instructor Mark Mickart I went through the same
pre-flight checks and maneuvers on the white single-engine Cessna 172,
terrorists Atta and Al-Shehhi had done on July 9."
"The same preflight checklists!"
Wow. Kitsch history. What is of interest is the flight instructor, Mark
Mikarts, busily showing the audience how the terrorists checked off.
Mark Mikarts used to be somebody else.
His real name is Mark Wierdak. The only relative of his we were able to
locate is a half-sister. She works in the British consulate in Venezuela.
When we got in touch with her to ask about her "flight instructor" brother's
new name all she would say was, "We used to share the same father."
Pilot Mikarts also flies out of the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport for a
Christian missionary group called Agape Flights, which describe themselves
as an independent ministry fighting disease, poverty and illiteracy by
serving missionaries in the Western hemisphere and beyond. They have been
running a weekly flight down and back to the Dominican Republic for more
than 20 years.
How many guys using aliases fly American missionary flights servicing the
Caribbean Basin? Mikarts is a perfect example of why things seem a little
out of skew at the flight schools at the Venice Airport.
"Rudi's greedy, and when you're greedy you can be used for something," a
Special Operations Commando leader from the nearby McDill Air Force Base
told us.
"I've always had some suspicions about the way he breezed into town out of
nowhere," said one observer at the Venice Airport. "Just too many odd little
things. For example, he has absolutely no aviation background as far as
anyone can tell. And he evidently had no use for, nor knowledge of, FAA
rules and regs."
These statements struck us as strange. "Breezed into town out of nowhere"
and "no aviation background" doesn't square with the portrayal of Dekkers in
newspaper clippings announcing his purchase of the flight school two years
ago, which stressed his broad business aviation experience in neighboring
Naples.
"Ambassador Airways owners Rudi Dekkers, 42, Naples, president, and Wally
Hilliard, 67, also from Naples, were both said to be experienced pilots."
Their Ambassador Airways was said to "own several jet aircraft including
Lear jets." The new owners of Huffman Aviation have global presence
The friends of Rudi Dekkers
Lack of proper aviation background was also a comment heard about Dekkers in
an interview this week with Richard Boehlke, a partner of Dekkers in a
recent airline venture called Florida Air. Boehlke accuses Dekkers of not
having enough experience to run a commuter airline and training facilities:
Portland Native's Brush with Terror
"He (Dekkers) was an oxymoron the day I met him," Boehlke told Portland
reporter Eric Mason. "I can't believe anyone handed him millions of dollars
to run a business he had no experience in."
Boehlke leveled another charge in his interview, stating Dekkers had
suggested that his students hone their skills by acting as co-pilots on
commuter routes in Florida and elsewhere. Boehlke said Dekkers urged him to
allow students to ride-along as co-pilots on scheduled airline flights,
which is illegal.
"They could have been terrorists on a ride-along!" Boehlke told reporter
Eric Mason of Portland, Oregon, radio station K-Pam. He said a "chill" runs
through him when he thinks about it.
Said an FAA spokesman, about Dekkers' proposed scheme, "Having a student
without enough hours or that type rating as a co-pilot is not legal."
Boehlke said, "I was amazed knowing how close we'd been to that training
environment. It would have given them legal access to cockpits and other
secure areas in airports across the country."
Richard Boehlke's claim to be "amazed" is like Capt. Renaud telling Bogie in
Casablanca that he's shocked-shocked!-to find gambling going on, while
pocketing his winnings at the same time.
For the 53-year-old Boehlke, the sun-drenched parties aboard his personal
Grumman Albatross with friends in the San Juan Islands are supposed to be
over. His huge flying boat sits for sale at the Tacoma Narrows Airport in
Gig Harbor, along with other assets from his troubled aviation company. He
is not however running noticeably short of cash, observers note.
Boehlke was hot news because of his proximity to terrorist flight school
owner Dekkers and his concurrent participation in what the Securities &
Exchange Commission has called "the biggest fraud by an investment manager i
n U.S. history."
"Ex-money manager charged with fraud" was the headline in an Oct. 6 AP
story. A federal grand jury indicted Jeffrey Grayson whose firm "collapsed"
losing hundreds of millions of pension investments. Grayson was charged with
mail fraud, conspiracy, money laundering, witness tampering and paying a
former union chief union trust funds in a scheme that cost Grayson's clients
over $355 million in failed and fraudulent investments.
Might the two stories have a connection?
Might the same "international network" responsible for stealing almost a
half billion dollars have been simultaneously training terrorist air corps
in Florida?
Boehlke got $25 million to build a condominium project that court documents
reveal cost only half that amount.
Before Dekker's airline partner Richard Boehlke ever broke ground on his
failed project, someone had already pocketed $13 million.
"I've known Jeff Grayson (Capital Consultants' former CEO) for 12 years,"
Boehlke said. "I have never known him to have any shady or, you know, some
have asked me about . . . Mafia affiliations."
There. He said the "M" word.
"Boehlke would do anything for money, he was so desperate," an aviation
executive who had witnessed Boehlke's descent told us. "I'm surprised he
hasn't skipped the country by now, what with all the trouble he's gotten
himself into farting around with those Mafia boys down in Portland."
Another grateful beneficiary of the money they were giving away in Portland,
Oregon, from the retirement pension funds of the little people-laborers and
secretarys-was a Miami Florida man whose complex web of international
connections is legendary.
Alvin Malnik has been called "Meyer Lansky's heir" as the head of organized
crime so often in print that he should put it on his business cards.
But it is not Malnick's gangster ties that make your jaw drop: it's his
connection with the Saudi Royal Family.
Jewish "gangster" Alvin Malnick's son is married to the daughter of a
leading prince of the Middle Eastern kingdom's founding family.
"The Saudi prince not only blessed the marriage, but regularly works with
the US organized crime associates," states one report on the connection.
"The Saudi king would frequently send his private 747 to Florida to pick up
Malnik and his associates, so they could conduct business on the plane away
from prying eyes."
A Saudi King, A Mob Boss, and a Terrorist Drug Kingpin
"Frankly, we can't differentiate between terrorism and organized crime and
drug dealing," Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff told the Senate
Banking Committee hearings about the terrorists' money trail in the
aftermath of the Sept 11 disaster.
Terrorist groups have been implicated in the $360 billion a year
international narcotics trade, directed by organized crime, says Judge
Thierry Cretin of the European Anti-Fraud Office.
As recently as six weeks ago, crime families were being seen as particularly
important for terrorist groups involved in the acquisition and transport of
arms, like in the case of a Jersey City man, accused of attempting to
smuggle Stinger missiles out of the country to Osama bin Laden, who is now
reportedly helping federal agents investigating the Sept 11 terrorist
attacks.
If the deal he got caught doing was typical, insiders say, it was oil and
heroin up front for guns and training.
Oil and heroin upfront for arms and training. Now there's a story we haven't
heard about yet in the roiling skies above the terrorist flight schools on
the Gulf Coast of Florida.
And no one is saying anything about the proximity to the terrorist's
training sites of nearby Tampa, Florida, long the domain of reputed mob boss
and heroin kingpin Santo Trafficante.

american airlines did NOT know in advance and released

who manufactured that plane?
boeing?
what a great commercial - the following week boeing
sold about 400 million dollars worth of planes to
china
suddenly, in october, we find out that american forces
are "for the first time" using remote controlled
airplanes...camel puckey!

it seems that the plane that was shot down was flight
93 - before it was shot down it changed course and
began to head in direction other than new york or
dc...prior it is said that it was on course for three
mile island...perhaps a knowledgable pilot or
technician [or perhaps the flight happened to have an
electronic engineer on board] was able to disable the
remote control mechanism...
was it shot down to get rid of witnesses to how it was
done?

Yes a bomb did go off on the 23rd floor of the North Tower.
=================
There was a bomb on the 23rd floor of the North Tower, but it was not set
off to bring down the structure. Here is how that bomb prevented critical
FBI files stored there from exiting the building.
The FBI offices on the 23rd floor --under the false shingle front of New
York Blue Cross - Blue Shield -- of the North Tower were bombed to
prevent agents from removing grand jury evidence in important cases
stored there following the jet crashbombings. The evidence of this was
given on the program 60 minutes, though one doubts CBS was aware
what they were revealing.
A fellow in Main, Steve, has given me, over the phone and into my tape
recorder, his recording of this interview. Here is my careful transcription
of that recording.

Item #1: (intro and second Hersh excerpt)
Seymore Hersh has presented us with a clear picture of ruthless and bold
super rogues, bred of anarcho-capitalist moral laissez-faire, men who both
stand to make billions by framing the Taliban, but who also, at the same
time, as desperate as cornered rats as they face a New York grand jury
over the illegal swaps, the bribes and the other crimes Hersh has
documented.
The suspects include James W. Giffen, the man who accuaratley boasts that
everyone and everything must go through to get to the Pesident of Kazakhstan
(Nazarbayev). In play, also, are transnational oil firms wanting a pipeline
for
Kazakh oil through Afganistan, an undertaking that had to be in partnership
with Giffen to even be discussed with the Afgan government. And there is
a New York grand jury that likely will bring serious criminal charges and
civil liability exposure to not one, but several major oil companies and
investment bankers -- a case that would undermine all of international
globalization as these crimes were made public.
But what about September 11?
We also find in Hersh's article grand jury hearings under way that require
evidence of the criminal swap transactions, evidence stored in several
computers in the World Trade Center where certainly some of the swaptions
and derivatives trades were crafted and processed, as well as traders --
potential incriminating witnesses -- who were involved in those deals,
who work at the World Trade Center.
(It is a simple matter to get the names of all the firms referred to in this
article and see which had offices in the WTC, and which people who might
have testified before that grand jury worked there.)
The Taliban, despite the propaganda-war-machine portrayals are a
fiercly independent people (like the Montana militias, only ten
times that) -- but are a desperate criminal seeking to retain his
vast ill-gotten wealth, his great despotic power and to stay out
of jail and disgrace (both disgrace before society, and disgrace
before admiring criminals impressed with his boldness and flair)
as James W. Giffen, certainly appears from Hersh's account.
I am not claiming that Hersh has enough here to convict Giffen.
I am saying that this information about him and about all of the
circumstances and players certainly kicks Osama aside as
prime suspect number one. (And note that the investment bankers
and the Russian and Kazakh mafias are also interested in the
continuance of the Afgan opium that the American-backed
Northern druglords (called "anti-terrorists" in our newspapers
and television) provide the Chinese triads and, presumably,
the various mafias of the former Soviet Union.
Certainly what Seymore Hersh has provided lends more than "the shadow of
doubt" needed to reopen the 9-11 investigation books that have been closed
with no compelling evidence whatsoever, in an obvious frame-up kangaroo
public-opinion court, on Osama bin Ladin, his organization, and even the
Taliban WHICH HAS NO MORE OR LESS CONNECTION TO BIN LADIN
than the Repbulicans have to the John Birch Society or Democrats to the
American Way. Everything is based on bin Ladin's past record and
status as "terror suspect No. 1 (a status that also makes Osama
frame-up target No. 1 too, we should realize).
At any rate, here is more from the New Yorker article:
Excerpts from the last two pages (64-65) of Hershe's 7-9-01 story on Giffen
and the crimes of Mobil, the Kazakhstan's all-mafia government, pipelines
through
Afganistan and motives for super-terror in people demonstrably physically
and mentally able able to follow through:
"...A few months later, Mobil went to federal court in northern Virginia to
compel William's testimony. The internal documents reflected the growing
anxiety at headquarters about just what Williams -- identified in the papers
as "JBW" -- would say. The fear was that he would try to help Wronat get
compensation for his lost business. Williams "can't help Eronat win it
while at the same time screwing Mobil," a memorandum noted. "He can't say
my buddy wasn't involved at all" --in the illegal swap--"because his buddy
has already admitted involvement. If Williams tries to sneak in that Mobil
was involved, he contradicts himself because he's already sworn that Mobil
wasn't. In so contradicting himself, he destroys his credibility."
...By early summer, documents show, a solution had been proposed -- Mobil
would offer Eronat 2.4 million. Eronat would not pursue his complaints
against Mobila nd would support the settlement with Tabbah. If the company
decided to act on the proposal to pay Eronat something, a Mobil document
reasoned, that paymenbt should be delayed, so that there could be no
suggestion that it was being made "to avoid troubling testimony." It is
unclear whether Mobil actually paid Eronat any money.
There was one further step. A few months before the merger, Mobil notified
Patton Boggs, which had been involved in at least two other sensitive
inquiries for the company in the late nineteen-ninties, that its work on the
matter was done. A senior Patton Boggs lawyer later complained to a
colleague in Washington that Mobil's top management had "deep-sixed" the
investigation into its dealings with Kazakhstan.
WIlliam's view today of his former employer is not known. He and Mobil
agreed, in negotiations over his retirement, that neither would publically
disparage the other.
In 1999, Swiss banking officials discovered that about eighty-five million
dollars that was destined for a Kazakhstan government account had been
shifted to what to what seemed to be a personal account belonging to
President Nazarbayev. SOme of the money had been transferred there through
accounts linked to James Giffen. The evidence was passed on to the
Department of Justice -- Giffen was, after all, an American citizen -- and
the U.S. investigation got under way.
There were published reports last summer that payments of more than sixty
million dollars from three American oil companies -- Mobil, Amoco, and
Phillips -- operating directly through foreign subsidiaries, had allegedly
been made to Swiss bank accounts linked to Giffen. SOme thirty million
dollars of that money, Swiss officials say, was subsequently shifted by
Giffen into acconts controlled by Nazarbayev; his oil minister,
Balgymbayev; and the opposition leader, Kazhegeldin. Kazhegeldin
publically admitted that he had received six million dollars via the bank
transfers, but insisted through his attorney that he had returned the money.
Later, it became known that a second federal investigation, focussing on the
swap, had begun in Washington.
Giffen's attorney told the Wall Street Journal last year that his client
"has served as an official of the Republic of Kazakhstan since 1992, and has
always acted lawfully and at the direction of that nation's leadership."
ANy funds that Giffen disbursed, he added, were used in developing Kazakh
natural resources, promoting democracy, and building public works.
Giffen and Eronat, through a lawyer, Thomas Yannucci, refused to be
interviewed for this article. In statements relayed by Yannucci, both men
were evasive. Documents made available for this article demonstrate that
Giffen and Eronat were intimately involved in the proposed oil swap between
Iran and Kazakhstan. Giffen's statement to The NEw Yorker said that, as
"Counselor to the President of Kazakhstan," he, "obviously was aware that
the swap transaction was under negotiation." Nevertheless, he said, at no
time did he or any of the companies with which he was associated "violate
any law of the United States, including the sanctions regulations." Eronat
answered a list of specific questions about his role with a general assault
on Tabbah's credibility. This response was accompanied by a three-page
letter from Peter Felter, the London lawyer who was the attorney for several
of the parties in the Iran-Kazakhstan swap talks, including API. Felter,
too, denounced Tabbah as a fraud and a thief, and "an unreliable and
discredited witness," and added, "As far as we are concerned, there is no
comparison between the credibility, standing and veracity of Mr. Tabbah as
compared with Mobil." William's responses to questions from the New Yorker,
as conveyed by his attorney, David Schertler, denigrate Tabbah as well.
Richard Lilley, Tabbah's soliciter, responded to the attacks on his
client by describing him as "keen to cooperate with the U.S> government, not
out of vengence but because he wants the matter to be investigated so that
the truth about this extraordinary matter can be told." Lilley has been
retained by the justice Department in a continuing effort to persuade the
British court to permit Tabbah to testify before an American grand jury.
The government's sanctions case may yet hinge on his testimony.
Today, President Nazarbayev is said by State Department officials to be
anxious about the inquiries, which he views as politically motivated. "He
brings up the investigation with everybody," a former American Ambassador to
Kazakhstan said. Last summer, the Kazakh parliament passed a law granting
Nazarbayev lifetime immunity from any legal liability stemming from his
actions in office, with the exception of high treason. More recently, the
President angered his critics by pushing through passage of a bill that gave
all Kazakh citizens the right to bring money into the country with no
questions asked -- and no tax assessed. Opposition leaders -- delcaring
that the legislation amounted to little more than the legalization of money
laundering -- suggested that the biggest benefactors would be Nazarbayev
and his intimates.
Nazarbayev has been cracking down on the press and on opposition
political parties. During a visit to Almaty last winter, I met with
dissident editors, who told of newspapers and radio stations being closed.
One prominent journalist was convicted of insulting the President in print.
AN AMerican lawyer who has practiced in the booming oil economy of
Kazakhstan for the past five years explained that corruption had spread
throughout the society: "Every act is something you have to pay for, and
every job is bought and sold." HE provided some going prices -- three
thousand dollars to become a policeman and the same amount to join the
state customs service. It would cost hundreds of thousands to become a
supreme-court justice.
In a speech at the Hague at the end of May, John Ashcroft, the U.S>
Attorney General, said, "We must come to a recognition, personally and
culturally, that corruption is not just a violation of the law, not just an
economic disadvantage, and not merely a political problem, but that it is
morally wrong." It should be "no longer seen as an accepted cost of doing
business," he went on. "It is now widely recognized that the consequences
of corruption can be devastating to the poor, devastating to the economies,
devastating to the legitimacy and stability of government and deestating to
the moral fabrick of society."
Ashcroft's concerns apparently are not shared by all of the international
oil community. It may never be known why Mobil's leadership exercised so
little oversight on the executives who delt with Russian and Kazakhstan, and
whose activities posed such enormous legal and financial risks. Indeed the
actions alleged in connection with the Tabbah case "bet the company," in the
words of one person close to the Mobil investigation, "with maximum criminal
and civil exposure." This person has concluded that people in the industry
believed that the importance of oil in the national and world economy would
insulate them from any complaints of wrongdoing. He summed up the oilmen's
attitude this way: "what's man afraid of? The cold and the dark. We make
it warm and we make it light."

Item #2:
Asset of humanity, Wendell Solomons of Sri Lanka
(Authur C. Clark's 2001 A Space Oddessy is dedicated
to him) wrote this for his Worl...@topica.com list
(my disscussant community for over two years):
==============================
You recollect that -
(1) When the September 11th tragedy hit, network TV
showed us that Osama bin Laden was guilty. In what
seemed like 90 minutes, BBC studios looked in on
Ehud Barak and CNN looked in on Richard Holbrooke. The
former Israeli PM and the former U.S. Yugoslav negotiator
both voiced this name.
The statistical probabilities of correctly picking out one
name from 6 billion of our names for broadcast must classify
these two men as geniuses to be honored with Nobel awards -
or had they used their cell phones to coordinate the
allegation?
After that name was signed, sealed and delivered -- ships,
planes and helicopters were fueled up at major cost.
Then another agenda appeared before our eyes -
(2) Within a month U.S. attack officers interviewed on
TV said that the Taleban administration was the target.
Do you suspect that the shift of focus might mask any
business-like motives?
Take for instance, energy-sparing Europe. Economy in
manufacturing makes for competitiveness in EU products. As
natural consequence of competitiveness, the new Euro went up
from $0.61 two years ago to $0.91 in the middle of this
year.
Obviously, the more oil prices rise - the better the
competitiveness of Europe's exports to the U.S.A becomes. We
know that North America is highly geared to energy use at
home and work place.
President Clinton had removed the fancy wrapper in 1999: "If
we are going to have a strong relationship that includes our
ability to sell around the world, Europe has got to be the
key ... that is what this Kosovo thing is all about."
The commercial logic of the attack on Afghanistan holds with
the same task of keeping the Euro from replacing the Wall
Street cartel's privately issued U.S. dollar as world
default currency.
A board of Wall Street private bank directors issues the
U.S. dollar. They retain for themselves monopoly access to
the printing press. They wish to continue on their virtual
credit card spree as long as they can keep the world
encircled with paper tokens printed with the words "IN GOD
WE TRUST".
The private company violates the practice of the first
Mosaic Commandment and invites the entire world, including
its atheist Buddhists, to substitute for the Almighty - a
trust in a pyramid scheme. The Creator for a Buddhist's
belief and yours and mine, is the private company headed by
Alan Greenspan who does not so much as honor his company
paper by placing his signature on the note (compare the
company greenback paper with a currency note of any
ordinary, public owned Central bank.) _1/
In Wall Street's pursuit of grandiose scenario, Europe is
not supposed to use its historic opportunity today to
consolidate, to coordinate policies and thus avoid being a
launch pad for war between nation states. Wall Street wants
to retain for money lenders operating wholesale business,
the traditional benefits of profit on war-mobilization loans
used by any two belligerent sides.
In a real world, however, Wall Street today charts plans for
a Europe that has grown to unite more than 400 million
people. To the economist, Europe has plainly become a pool
of civilian industrial skills larger than that of the 270
million population of the current money-magnate nest, the
USA.
Then, a large share of software engineering has been
migrating to and fro between Silicon Valley in the U.S.A.
and Bangalore in India, a country which has a population
larger than Europe and North America combined. Therefore
Wall Street no longer holds at home a strategic skills asset
in computer software.
Computer hardware migrated long ago to India, China, Japan,
Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and Singapore (examine a CD-ROM
laser housing or check any computer mouse.) As for military
and aerospace equipment, U.S. agencies are forced to compare
purchases from its superpower ally for the latter offers
better price levels to Europe and the world.
By 1996 this superpower ally was entered by George Soros and
his Open Society Institutes. Albert Armand Gore and Dr
Armand Hammer ("Lenin's friend") had paved the way for the
penetration and contamination of the Yeltsin family. Under
such aegis, New York's Brooklyn Beach mafia also handpicked
and made partners of several of Russia's criminals and
confidence tricksters. That explains the sensational
appearance of network media's so-called "Baby Millionaires"
and of "Russian Mafia."
So Soros knew ahead of us that Wall Street's accessories had
planted electrodes in Moscow and got it in tow. Soros was now
to release a new finance capital manifesto to the world with
a backhanded title, 'The Capitalist Threat' (in February 1997
in the 'Atlantic Monthly'.)
The manifesto puzzled his admirers, because the man who 'bet
against the Bank of England' (with insider tips inferred)
changes step to indicate that diversity is a threat. In
Soros' new reckoning, because Moscow is at last in tow, U.S.
allies must now be called to heel. They must submit to E
PLURIBUS UNUM. That is to be read by erstwhile allies as
submission to the rule of Soros and clan-married Wall Street
finance capital (Gore's daughter married the grandson of
Wall Street Jacob Schiff, whose hidden grove of kingpins
enjoys a priest ancestor who shared a Frankfurt-on-the-Maine
mansion with Warburg scions in the 18th Century.)
The Soros manifesto puzzled his admirers, because the man
who 'bet against the Bank of England' (with insider tips
inferred) changes step to indicate that diversity is a
threat. In Soros' new reckoning, because Moscow is at last
in tow, U.S. allies must now be called to heel. They must
submit to E PLURIBUS UNUM. That is to be read by erstwhile
allies as submission to the rule of Soros and clan-married
Wall Street finance capital (Gore's daughter married the
grandson of Wall Street Jacob Schiff, whose caravan of
king-pins traces to a clergical ancestor who shared a
Frankfurt-on-the-Maine mansion with Warburg scions in the
18th Century.)
Yet, Soros is asking for submission to a finance capital
clan that has relocated, engorged new retainers and assets,
and warped the once powerful U.S. manufacturing based
economy; the textbooks show the industrial system was
once emulated by today's foreign leaders.
The dilemma facing the U.S. appears in numerous Senate
speeches. You meet with claims that the U.S. economy is
drowning in a sea of red ink. From the Congressional Record
of September 6, 2001 in the Senate:
Mr. BYRD. "Mr. President, will the Senator yield?"
Mr. DORGAN. "Yes, of course, I will be happy to yield."
Mr. BYRD. "What are those figures representing our drowning?"
Mr. DORGAN. "There's the current accounts deficit. With
Mexico alone, it is over $30 billion a year. In fact, our
aggregate trade deficit is over a billion and a quarter a
day, every single day ..."
Mr. DORGAN [continues] "Do not build walls and keep things
out of here. But our negotiators need to say, 'We expect
fair trade.' We expect them to stand up for this country's
interests. Stand up for the American worker. Stand up for
American business. Stand up for American products. We are
sick and tired of unfair trade bargains that put us in a sea
of red ink and put our employees and businesses at a
disadvantage."
***
Due to such observations, Wall Street money houses hanker to
shoot up allies in Europe just like erstwhile Taleban camp
allies.
Now, Europe can't be taken by means of one more predatory
money broker attack as in the case of Japan and the Asian
economies.
Once - accident; twice - happenstance; thrice - enemy
action.
Therefore Wall Street has to choose the long haul attack and
must first shore up its oil assets in the Middle East so as
to make exports more competitive (by keeping a hold on oil
and thus, the price of U.S. manufactured goods.) More, Wall
Street just cannot afford to see a repeat in Saudi Arabia of
the takeover of oil in its prize Iran (as happened with the
fall of the Shah) and its prize Iraq (as happened with the
fall of Prince Faisal.)
(a) Saudi Royal, vintage-1935 fundamentalism (restoring of
Sharia law, e.g. a ban on women driving cars) is supposed in
Wall Street strategy to prevail over the ethical challenge
from Taleban fundamentalism. However today, few educated
Arabs continue to share solidarity with the forces of Ariel
Sharon as he slaughters people as if they are slaves in a
19th Century U.S. sugar plantation. Before Big Oil decided
on today's gambit that will use Sharon as bogeyman, it had
counted on the Shah to saber-rattle, to flutter hearts (among
those who could afford balmy harem evenings paid for by
petroleum users everywhere) and thus keep a barrel of oil
down at 1/20th of its present cost to Big Oil.
If the Saudi Royal family falls in the sequence of
republicanism, that would immediately isolate and undermine
the equally recent Royals of the pocket emirates and Gulf
states.
(b) As to backup for the next lap, the Yeltsin family's
insurance company, represented by Mr. Putin, has agreed to
provide energy reserves to be sent to Indian Ocean terminals.
The pipelines carrying oil and gas from Kazakhstan have to
bridge the territory of Afghanistan where the Taleban
mujahedin camps want to disentangle themselves from handlers
(originally Carter/Brzezinsky.)
So the costly attack on Afghanistan figures on the balance
sheet as a DIGGING-IN for fossil-fuel energy supplies. With
that accomplished, Wall Street's dollar is supposed to
retain its vigor and accomplish the long-term task of
splitting the European Union into nation states.
Towards a parallel end, for backup oil and gas pipelines to
the Mediterranean Sea, a pliable regime was required in
Yugoslavia. That in part explains why Taleban camp-trained
provocateurs served to cause crossfire and allow
Clinton/Albright to bring a neo-Slash-and-Burn culture to
Europe's Balkans before this turn to Afghanistan.
The real mujahedin job is done. George Soros ceased his
campaign of talking down the Euro on the basis of 'fiscal'
frailties in Europe in mid-March 1999. His abrupt cessation
of press interviews on that coincides with the time when
Madeline Albright could reasonably be expected to confirm
to Soros that missiles would hit Yugoslavia -- within a week.
In European perceptions, however, fiscal frailties were
resolvable. In money broker perceptions at the same time,
the Central Bank issued Euro would replace the private
cartel issued US dollar in a normal sequence of events.
To George Soros, his continuing silence in the matter is
golden. In his perception, economic migrants from the
missile-devastated Yugoslavia would flood the European Union
and serve as a wick to ignite - in the fullness of time -
hireling ultra nationalist parties whose free-for-all could
indeed provoke fiscal frailties and tear apart the European
Union.
Take an ordinary humanist approach that contrasts with
the plan. Mikhail Gorbachev applied his iconized media
popularity in the West to query the perpetrators of the
attacks in 1999 on whether their purpose was to "Europeanize
the Balkans" or "Balkanize Europe."
So while TV reflects pictures of Bush's and Clinton's
"strength," the story behind Slash-and-Burn culture applied
in Afghanistan and Yugoslavia suggets that the ultimate
fear of their monied magnates is exposure.
After soiling the nest in the USA, they would have no
Western frontier left on our planet.
The "Anarchist" Black Block (eyewitnesses at the Genoa G-7
protest have gained the impression that it contained police
decoys_2/) missed a cue on September 29 and 30, 2001 at
anti-war rallies in Washington D.C. If the Block changes its
historic, two-year track record (Seattle 1999, Washington
2000, Montreal 2001, Genoa 2001) and no longer infiltrates
Peace rallies, then the rallies in North America will reach
the levels of anti-Vietnam ones.
In the final account Wall Street _3/ brains trusts are
destined to lapse and miss their cue in finding police,
Black Block or other decoys in numbers enough to handle
trouble in 200 countries placed on edge worldwide.
That message is written for Wall Street magnates. Following
the cover page printed by its brains trusts comes the red
blood of tragically massacred American and foreign innocents
of September 11th, 2001 (a) in its own precinct, (b) in
which its brains trusts' own camp followers stand accused,
(c) in an apparent lapse of duty on the part of its own
security bodies.
The frenzy that seeps through TV can be read as showing that
the magnates are already overextended and true help at this
juncture must keep the world city from deluge in rivers of
blood.
Footnotes
---------
_1/ In like manner the U. S. Federal Reserve System affair
does not highlight a legal company name on the note (as the
Bank of England does) but instead instructs its design
artists to use bold 3-D design to signal to you - UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. Yet, the U.S. Finance minister and the
U.S. Treasurer have hardly applied their signatures to a
proposed flag or a map of the country. Both are government
officials and not employees of the company which applies one
of its subsidiaries' names in the little apprehended reverse
print encircling the seal miniaturized for the left end of
the slip.
_2/ Speaking of infiltration, a newspaper revealed that
the 1993 attempt to blow up the World Trade Center went
ahead after an infiltrator provided a fuse supplied by
the FBI for the fertilizer bomb. The Arabic-speaking
infiltrator, an Egyptian services-trained specialist, was
turned to support the explosion at a cost of $ 1 million
to the FBI ("FBI Tipster Said He Built NY Bomb", Chicago
Tribune, Dec. 15, 1993.)
_3/ The U.S. Founding Fathers had been conscious of attempts
to manipulate money and credit. They had fought a running
battle with the Wall Street of their day. Thomas Jefferson
wrote to John Adams: "... I sincerely believe with you that
banking establishments are more dangerous than standing
armies ..."
Abraham Lincoln owes his reputation as "Honest Abe" to
formulations such as this: "I see in the near future a
crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble
for the safety of my country ... corporations have been
enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will
follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to
prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the
Republic is destroyed."
Today's prejudice is that I am Robinson Crusoe and that the
world is my Man Friday to use as I may. Yet, 6 billion
Robinson Crusoes would become a mighty source of trouble
(for they must also turn each other into Man Friday.) It is
Daniel Defoe's scenario that has been given unprecedented
pamphleteering run for 25 years by the World Bank and IMF
controlled by a cronyist money cartel (through the U.S.
Treasury Secretary's majority voting share). The cartel now
increasingly figures as the spider in the center of a web
where it is not subject to "Free Trade" reform (or even
public accountability aside from Alan Greenspan's rocket
scientist, publicity accounts before Congress and the
media.)
In contrast to dealing with Robinson Crusoe 'as reality,'
British policy at home and in the colonies had already
learnt to invest in games that cultivated sportsmanship and
team spirit. Therefore, the names or social infrastructure
for solo badminton or for team basketball, reveal greatly --
British nurture and care.

Here is an article from July 26, 2001, 41 days before the
crashbombing that set in motion military operations in Afganistan:
From http://www.indiareacts.com/Story33.htm
In this article published in India last summer, the Indian Government
announces that it will support America's PLANNED military incursion into
afghanistan in an anti-Taliban military plan. India and Iran will
"facilitate" the planned US-Russia hostilities against the Taliban. (We see
here the Establishment's intentions, but what is missing of course is the
will of the
American People to spill their children's blood to force pipelines,
safeguard
opium production, and remove veils. Yet they expended all the effort and
resources anyway! As if they expected that the attitude of the American
people would change!!! Here is evidence for the these claims:
------
By Our Correspondent
26 June 2001: India and Iran will "facilitate" US and Russian plans for
"limited military action" against the Taliban if the contemplated tough new
economic sanctions don't bend Afghanistan's fundamentalist regime.
The Taliban controls 90 per cent of Afghanistan and is advancing northward
along the Salang highway and preparing for a rear attack on the opposition
Northern Alliance from Tajikistan-Afghanistan border positions.
Indian foreign secretary Chokila Iyer attended a crucial session of the
second Indo-Russian joint working group on Afghanistan in Moscow amidst
increase of Taliban's military activity near the Tajikistan border. And,
Russia's Federal Security Bureau (the former KGB) chief Nicolai Patroshev is
visiting Teheran this week in connection with Taliban's military build-up.
Indian officials say that India and Iran will only play the role of
"facilitator" while the US and Russia will combat the Taliban from the front
with the help of two Central Asian countries, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, to
push Taliban lines back to the 1998 position 50 km away from Mazar-e-Sharief
city in northern Afghanistan.
Military action will be the last option though it now seems scarcely
avoidable with the UN banned from Taliban-controlled areas. The UN which
adopted various means in the last four years to resolve the Afghan problem
is now being suspected by the Taliban and refused entry into Taliban areas
of the war-ravaged nation through a decree issued by Taliban chief Mullah
Mohammad Omar last month.

======================
Item #2:
Let me remind you once more of the game plan the
Trilateral Commission (founded by David Rockefeller
and first headed by Zbignew Brzezhenski) declared in
its 1975 "Report on the Governability of Democracies:"
"We have come to recognize that there
are potentially desirable limits to economic
growth. There are also potentially desirable
limits to the indefinite extension of political
democracy...A government which lacks authority
...will have little ability, short of cataclysmic
crisis, to impose on its peope the sacrifices
which may be necessary."
I remember Brzezhinski, he is a cold-blooded
yes-man techo-babble charleton -- who speaks
of lives in the most impersonal terms, who can
talk about the need to get the world population
down to a "sustainable" two billion (just enough
to provide servants and handymen and labor
inputs to sustain the elite in their great fortunes,
in the piles of their aquired assets, the sequestered
wealth of the human race.
===============
Item #3:
Here is a statement by a first hand witness to the following event:
Condolezza Rice, Bush's National Security Advisor, was in Houston to give a
speech in March of 2000. This was prior to Bush assuming the Presidency and
her assuming her new position in his administration. She had worked under
Bush Senior as head of Russian and East European Affairs. Her words were
most prophetic. She said, and these are exact quotes:
"We need a common enemy to unite us."
"We need a new threat as a marker to where we will lead."
"Seperation of powers is a problem for foreign policy."
These statements were not in response to questions but were in the body of
her speech.
Afterwards I asked about about America losing it's moral authority which,
I believe, was the greatest contributing factor in our victory in the Cold
War. This led to the destruction of the Soviet Union which our military
might could not do. She was visibly angered and disturbed by my comments
and simply retorted. "We have other means of asserting our authority".
Meaning, of course, military might and deception.
It is clear to me that the September 11 crashbombing fit perfectly into her
idea of what "we need", what Bush wants. Bush has, to date, been the
greatest benefactor of the events of September 11 and for the foreseeable
future will continue to be.
==================
Item #4:
Another letter from the same citizen:
The best lead on who was behind this was the puts purchased (stock option
contracts betting the price will fall). On one of the cable shows on finance
a analysist said the number of puts in United Airlines, American Airlines
(only in the airlines used by the hijackers) and businesses in the WTC that
were going to be substantially impacted, was 90 times the number of puts
purchase on a daily average THE DAY BEFORE THE ATTACK and this was WORLDWIDE
purchases. He gave some examples of a put purchased for $375,000 that was
worth $2.4 million the day after the attack. Who would gamble that much
without insider knowledge? The numbers of puts purchased, in addition to the
size of the investments, indicate that an extremely large number of people,
possibly thousands, knew the exact day of the attack, the exact target, and
the exact means.
The "money trail" was a big story for a day and then very suddenly no
further mention has been made of it. It was used just long enough to secure
the seizure of money from targeted groups and additions to the
anti-terrorist legislation.
I look forward to seeing the information I am providing you included in your
posts
One more thing I picked up on the news. Some bigwig in the military, I don't
remember his name, was being interviewed on the 17th day following the
attack. He was asked "when can we expect some action in Afganistan". His
reply "The buildup there has been going on for several weeks so it could be
very soon." 17 days is a little short of "several weeks". The quick response
indicates the buildup was beginning even before the attack took place.
A thought I had - If you know, or suspect, you are going to be attacked, it
might be strategic to stage an attack on yourself so you can be ready with
the response. Thus catching your enemy off-guard and unprepared. When
comparing this operation with the attack on WTC in 1993 it appears far too
sophisticated and effective for the type of group it is being blamed on. It
would seem that Some intellegence would have been picked up on an operation
of this size. It could be that some in the intellegence community allowed,
or even assisted, in it happening for the strategic purposes of those they
answer to.
If not guilty for the actual attack there are those in the US governmnet
that are guilty of knowing about it and letting, if not aiding and abetting,
in making it happen. It is interesting to note how little criticizm there
has been of the CIA, FBI, or the intellegence community for letting this
happen. Rather they have been rewarded with bigger budgets and more power.
What people need to continue to ask themselves is not just "who had motive"
but WHO BENEFITED THE MOST.

Item #5:
And yet another letter, merely to invite the jury to recall to mind things
they have seen and heard and to sift them for clues:
---
>I read your article on the rense site. The person who sent you some notes
on connie rice, did not have the fortune of seeing rumsfield on the 9th of
sept in an interview on fox news like I did. it was a late sunday afternoon
or early evening, The interview was with brit hume I am pretty sure, and
rumsfield was unusually happy about the coming week where his defense budget
cuts would be reversed, in fact he was inferring that his budget would be
increased by a large % when congress would come to understand how important
defense was to national security. It was such an interesting interview I
made my wife sit down and watch it which is very unusual because like most
women, she is not into the global or national events...and my vibes from it
were not good. That sept 11 evening interview with the pentagon at 9 pm had
all the big wigs on, again rumsfield was the point man for the press
conference. after his speech the first question taken from a reporter was
right to rumsfield and he asked him if intelligence or anyone high up in the
government had any knowledge of the events. Rumsfield looked like he got
punched in the stomach, looked down and away and said " I cant answer any
questions of a national security issue" I was like what heck, total
destruction and this guy looks away as guilty as sin and wont answer the
reporters question. if you get your hands on the video footage of the press
conf, its a real eye opener. Bottom line, they knew, what other reason was
pres bush out of dc for over a month, and "on vacation finding peace and
quiet. " More crap. just how stupid do they think we are. Today my wife
showed me a picture of a 31 year old fire man she went to school with and is
listed as "missing". They can lie all they want, all you have to do is
follow the "wacko" conspiarcy writings for the last 10-20 years to see where
we are headed next.

Continuing terrorist actions and violent
demonstrations over the last five decades have turned
India's Northeast into a dangerous place. Large-scale
introduction of narcotics and arms from neighboring

Since 1996, Executive Intelligence Review has been the

and his Trilateral Commission underling Samuel
Huntington's theory of the "Clash of Civilizations."

The governments of the United States and Britain -
along with a lap-dog mainstream media all too willing
to regurgitate falsehoods - are feeding us a line of
demonstrably inaccurate lies about the Taliban and
opium. We are being warned of a "new flood" of
al-Q'aeda opium as the war expands. As British Prime
Minister Tony Blair boasts, "We will bomb their poppy
fields," he neglects to mention that there aren't
any poppy fields in Taliban controlled areas to bomb.
This outrageous deception of the public, in an effort
to stir up support for the war effort, is further
evidence that most of the rest of the government's
line following the attacks of September 11, is simply
not credible. A simple side-by-side comparison of
reports from the UN and the U.S. government, along
with major media stories from before and after the
Sept. 11 attacks exposes the lie.

Mullah Omar Embodiment of justice, freedom, populism in Asia; even of
holiness over the greatest evil.
-------------------------
An address by Afghanistan's
Mullah Omar
3/10/2001 7:11 pm Wed
Respected Muslims and proud people of Afghanistan!
For the third time in history, aggression is being foisted on us. You are
all aware of it. Did the British have any right to invade Afghanistan?
There was no Osama at that time. Did the Russians have any right to commit
aggression against Afghanistan? There was Osama at that time. Now this is
for the third time, aggression is being imposed on us. All of you know
that Osama is not the reason of this aggression; rather it is their
(kuffar's) enmity with Islam.
What has happened in the United States ? everyone knows - is an organized
incident, which a migrant, a man without means and resources is not
capable of. There is no possibility of it. They know those who do such
things but they do not lay their hands on them.
They are only concerned about the fact that real Muslims and real Islam
are in Afghanistan, and the voice of Deen is really raised here. They call
this an alarm bell and are heedful of this danger. So you must understand
that the only way to get out of present crisis is reliance on Allah,
patience and pertinence. Only these things are source of success.
Whether America pounds cruise missiles or carries out bombardment or
whatever it does, we cannot avoid this danger by showing cowardliness. If
America takes an action, and Allah intends to let that happen, then we
cannot avoid this danger. The Muslims should see their Islam and their
self-esteem, and should not lose heart. Whether we live or die, we should
remain adherent to Islam and self-esteem.
Death is unavoidable; when one dies, he protects his Islam and faith
(faith) and also protects his self-esteem. Is there any greater kingship
than this? Is there any greater success than this? It is a fact that death
seeks for everyone and will come today or tomorrow. Is it better to die on
unbelief and cowardliness or to die in a state of protecting the honor of
Islam? Death is inescapable. So, you should shun fears from your minds and
stay steadfast and patient, and have trust in Allah. (If we do so) I don't
think wecan be hurt.
Allah Ta'ala says "you will be successful if you are Mo'min" Allah's words
are more reliable or America's threat?
Allah Ta'ala says 'you will remain dominant if you are Mo'min (true
Muslim). It is not faith that one verbally says "I am Mo'min". Rather,
one's faith is tested by what one says and does about countering Kufr and
about countering America's threat. At that time, you come to know how much
faith and self-esteem you have.
Allah Ta'ala is testing you. Otherwise, it is easy for Allah that there
should be no missiles pounding from America, no bombardment and nothing
else. If Allah wills, it will happen. Did it not happen to our
predecessors? The British and Russians killed our millions of people? But
due to people's sacrifices, Allah put the British and Russians on flight.
If you do not make sacrifice and do not feel for your Islam and faith then
you can see the plight of other Muslim countries. They have been deprived
of their faith and self-esteem. The kuffar have snatched everything from
them. Should we become like them?
In history, two aggressive powers were dissolved and split into pieces at
the hands of Afghans. Afghanistan is the same Afghanistan. It has the same
name, same pride, same Islam and same faith. So, what had happened then?
(When British and Russians committed aggression)? This (Us attacks) will
be the same sort of episode.
If people die, let them die. They will at least die with their Islam,
faith and honor. How is it possible that we lose our faith, our pride and
die in that state! What type of thoughts are you harboring? No one should
have any anxiety. Every Muslim should be ready for jihad against such
actions and should be ready all the time that if he is needed, he will
sacrifice his life for Islam, sacrifice his life for his faith, sacrifice
his life for Kalamah of Islam. You just make this intention, then if
emerges this evil or any other problem, Allah Ta'ala will remove that.
If someone is leading his life with unbelief, he should look around at the
lame and handicapped. How they showed bravery! How they threw the Russian
aggressors on earth and turn Russia into pieces! Don't you see how these
Mujahideen are alive today? The US attack will meet the same fate, if
Allah wills. Therefore, you should not show any lack of courage or show
any such anxiety that brings about blame to the Taliban, Osama or anyone
else. I swear on Allah's oneness that if we had handed over Osama to them,
even then the things would have been same. Their threats will remain the
same. We will be asked, 'why did you do this?' 'Why did you do that?' 'Do
this' 'do that'. How will you feel at that time? Then, what will become of
your faith, your honor, and your Islam?
Osama can neither do this nor has he done. There is no possibility that he
forms an organized network and succeeds in doing this work.
Secondly, these were not missiles that Osama has fired. This is a work for
which people have sacrificed their life. Nobody can sacrifice his life for
Osama. Nobody endangers his life for Osama or kills people in the name of
Osama. One who lays down his life has his own objectives and motives. He
is frightened of neither America nor any other country. One who lays down
his life has no concern whether Osama likes him or not, whether Osama has
ordered him or not. What has happened in the US is the plan of a third
country.
These people (the Americans) incite the world against us and lead the
people astray. Those who are unbelievers become their partners despite
their distrust and enmity with one another.
In the present circumstances, every Muslim's faith and pride calls upon
him to remain steadfast every time. If the Muslims do not have faith and
sense of honor then they will always remain frightened, and there will be
no respect for them on earth. In that case, they will eventually die but
in a state of unbelief and cowardice. Therefore, the Muslims all over the
world should feel protective towards their faith, towards Afghanistan and
towards Muslims. In making sacrifices for Islam, everyone should come
forward for every work. Supposedly, if one does not act in this way, it
does not matter; it is up to him. But the people of Afghanistan should
rise up for the sake of their history, their pride and faith.
At the time of British and Russian aggression, there were neither I, nor
the Taliban nor Osama. So, why did they invade?The Afghan people made
sacrifices. Neither Osama nor I had asked them to make offer sacrifices.
Nobody had nudged them into doing this.
At that time, the people of Afghanistan waged Jihad and did a feat of
pride and faith. The same is the faith of time now. Every Muslim should
show persistence even though he dies or live. This is the way in which
success is sure without a shadow of doubt. A Muslim should trust in Allah
and his sayings. Allah Ta'ala says, "you will be successful if you are
Mo'min". 'Mo'min' does not mean that one can do nothing. Merely saying "we
are Mo'min" is not enough for our deliverance. However, when you make
yourself true Mo'min, you will surely meet success, as promised by Allah.
Allah never does against his promise.
I am neither unnerved, nor do I take a path against Islam along with
irreligious people. My power is in danger, my leadership and rule are in
danger and my life is also in danger, even then I offer my life for
sacrifice. As defaithed by the kuffar, if I take up a path against Islam
and make adjustments with them then everything of mine will be
established; my rule and kingdom will continue, and I will get a lot of
power, wealth and grandeur same as the other heads of states have got.
But I am ready for every success for Islam. I am ready for everything. I
offer sacrifice of my life. I have become unconcerned with everything. I
am resolved to sacrifice kingdom, seat, power and everything. I take pride
in Islam and this sacred homeland. Why a common man - who has nothing in
danger - should show cowardice. He may have to come for jihad at one time.
Even then, he is scared!!
And what is wrong with those who are abroad? Why are they feeling
confounded? What are they frightened of despite nothing of theirs is in
danger? My life, power and rule are in danger, yet I have a feeling. Why
don't you? You do not feel because your faith is weak. If you have faith
or seek for strong faith then you must offer yourself for sacrifice. When
I offer myself for sacrifice without caring for anything, why can't you
do? I am astonished at you?
If you have faith and your conscience is alive, you should rise up. And if
you do not have faith and conscience then I don't care for you. In that
case, what, why and how should I accept your advice? If you have a strong
faith, you cannot tolerate anything that is harmful to Eman and Islam or
to country boundaries. If you tolerate everything then it means your faith
is weak. You should correct yourself and strengthen your faith. You should
check your deeds. May Allah Ta'ala give you success. Success only lies in
death with faith. This is great success. If one has got nothing then this
alone is a great success. In this lies the eminence of Islam's flag.
Muslim's real success is that dignity of Islam, Kalimah of Islam and
Islam's flag remain elevated. If we are pleased with what the kuffar like,
it means we have demolished the name of Islam and wrecked the dignity of
Islam. Remember! Acceptance of kuffar's demands makes the flag of Islam
bend.
In the days to come, if there is a need for jihad, it is necessary for
every Muslim to be ready for sacrificing his life. Every Muslim should
know that my call for jihad is not for my rule. Protection of my rule does
not lie in this. Rather, its protection lies in that I follow the path of
kuffar same as the other countries are following their path. If I do so,
they (the kuffar) will fully support me; even they will give their army,
monetary aid and everything. So, the protection of rule lies in obeying
the kuffar and not in that I come out bareheaded for sacrifice.
Be convinced that I am not stimulating you for the sake of my rule.
Allah's Quran is before you; open it and ask Ulama what it is calling
commanding you. I am advising you what Allah has advised us. Every Muslim
should awake and give up apathy; should have no anxiety and should not be
misguided by radio news. Then he will be persistent in Eman and Islam.
May Allah Ta'ala enable the Muslims to be adherent to Eman and Islam.

This is an important one.
On page B1 of the Sunday New York Times, Philip Shenon and David Johnston
reveal that the Bush administration is "discussing proposals that would lead
to the most fundamental reorganization of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation in its history, shifting its focus to counterterrorism [that
is, to fighting anti-globalization movements --DE] and away from crime
fighting, senior officials said. [Attorney General Ashcroft? Director Robert
Mueller III?]
"Under the new thinking, they said, the agency would give up responsibility
for some of the duties on which it built its legenday "G-man" reputation,
like bank robbery [this includes white collar crime, like the gold-price
fixing investigation the FBI was conducting on its floors of the one of the
Word Trade Center tower when the tower and all of the evidence and
documentation was destroyed -- the accusation was the Alan Greenspan and
houses like Goldman Sachs and Morgan & Co. were essentailly selling the gold
owned by the Federal Reserve --and part of the strength of the U.S. dollar's
reputation and strength,,to assorted insider billionaires at deliberately
suppressed prices --DE].]
"As counterterrorism becomes the No. 1 priority of the F.B.I., it has become
obvious that other types of investigation will have to be de-emphasized at
the bureau or turned over to other agencies," said a senior administation
official, one of several interviewed in recent days who have been involved
in the discussions.
" Some officials say the restructuring has already begun, even before any
formal palns have been proposed, propelled by the terror attacks of
September. 11, when thousands of bureau agents across the country were
ordered to put aside other investigations to focus exclusively on
counterterrorism."
Also in the article:
"...Attorney General Ashcroft and the bureau's director, Robert S. Mueller
III, have agreed that the emphasis on counterterrorism will be permanent and
that other major changers are inevitable. ..."
""...Mr. Mueller, as the bureau's new director. Mr. Mueller had earned a
fearsome reputation from previous jobs, for shaking up government sagncies,
notably the United States attorney's office in San Francisco, where he
forced out most of the senior managment." [This during the Clinton
years! -- and this is exactly what CLinton's appointee, Louis J. Freeh,
did when he took the job -- throwing out the top drug fighters from
a list he brought with him before he took office - these non-political
professionals were all demoted and removed within two days -- giving
druglords a very easy time with no seasoned top men running the
show--DE].
Why is the gutting of the FBI permanently in response to the WTC terror
frame-up important? Let's spell it out.
--------
Because part of the motive for the terror-frame-up was to stop two criminal
investigations aimed at some of the most powerful figures of the ruling
Establishment.
For example consider the "gold fixing case" that was being investigated by
the FBI at the WTC on September 11 (but not on September 12).

"The defendants in the GATA/Howe lawsuit are: the Bank for International
Settlements; Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S.
Federal Reserve System and a director of the BIS; William J. McDonough,
president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a director of the BIS;
five major bullion banks, J.P. Morgan & Co., Chase Manhattan Corp.,
Citigroup Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., and Deutsche Bank; and Lawrence H.
Summers, former secretary of the treasury, who by law exercised control over
the U.S.Exchange Stabilization Fund, subject only to approval by the
president."
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2001
=============
Let's refresh on the people's reconstruction of the Great Crashbombing
Frame-Up:
(See below, for my own statement of this conclusion being reached
independently by thousands each day.)
Mossad and the CIA were dealing Afgan-opium-derived
heroin or at least were devoting effort to protect the
supply sources of the multi-trillion-dollar money-laundered
deposits backing the global investments of American
and Britsih merchant banks. The Afgan Northern Alliance
druglords grow 80 to 90 percent of the worlds opium, the
prime ingredient of heroin, which is then moved over the small
China-Afgan boarder for processing and distribution by the
giant People's Liberation Army - Triad transnational corporation-
drug cartel-and military instrument. Against this giant network
the religious Taliban had been erradicating Afgan opium production,
supressing production and profits for druglords, bankers and
globalization capitalists alike.
Thus this became the initial motivation of a renegade group of CIA
and/or Mossad having an interest in defeating Taliban.
(Nothing absurd so far, right?)
Next, the Russian and Kazakh mafias have ties with U.S. executive
James Giffen in Kazakhstan -- a man under investigation by
a New York grand jury in the months before September 11
for illegal involvement in an oil swaps between Kazakhstan
and sanctioned Iran (read the Aug. 9 New Yorker Magazine
for a full account of this by Seymore Hershe -- I have already
presented long excerpts of this in past posts) -- and all of the
evidence for this crime was being kept on the 20th through
25th floor of one of the WTC towers where the FBI had its
New York Offices. And James Giffen is the man anyone has
to go through to get any oil agreement with Kazakhstan --
including any pipelines built that would traverse Afganistan.
(There is $6 trillion dollars worth of oil and gas in Central Asia.)
Giffen certainly understood -- if he did not originate the idea --
that if he couldcan get operatives (even "captured" vengeful Islamic
activists whose rage could be shaped and directed to use of terror)
to destroy the FBI offices in the WTC building and the documentation
evidence it contained, then he would be escape grand jury indictment
-- and, as an powerful added benefit, the (framed) Taliban would get
replaced with a regime in Afganistan that would permit a pipeline to be
built -- preferably a Northern Alliance druglord government that would
harmonize with Giffen's own unethical (murderous) entrepreneural style.
(See the New Yorker artlical for details of Giffen's history.)
(So far this super-crime scheme involves only a small group of people--
Russian Mafia and perhaps a Giffen - renegade CIA or a Giffen
"dark-side" Mossad link. But other, even more powerful players
may have had involvement -- certainly they stood to gain
tremendously if the crashbomb frame-up were successfully accomplished.
(Prior to September 11 charges had been brought against Federal Reserve
Chairman Alan Greenspan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan & Co. and other
But then what?
role in the WTC terror, will shake down this system.) .......

"Former private banker Antonio Geraldi, in testimony before the Senate
Subcommittee projects significant growth in U.S. bank laundering. "The
forecasters also predict the amounts laundered in the trillions of
dollars and growing disproportionately to legitimate funds." The $500
billion of criminal and dirty money flowing into and through the major
U.S. banks far exceeds the net revenues of all the IT companies in the
U.S., not to speak of their profits. These yearly inflows surpass all
the net transfers by the major U.S. oil producers, military industries
and airplane manufacturers."
"First thing to note about the money laundering business, whether
criminal or corrupt, is that it is carried out by the most important
banks in the USA. Secondly, the practices of bank officials involved
in money laundering have the backing and encouragement of the highest
levels of the banking institutions - these are not isolated cases by
loose cannons."

One more bit that needs to be at your fingertips:
On August 14, 2000 this short article by Martin Mann appeared in the
Spotlight ( the "Village Voice" of the right):
----------
----end of Martin Mann quotation
I conclude that the F.B.I is being permanently defanged by the
money-laundering,
currency-manipulation drug revenue-enjoying criminal elite who moved to take
down last remaining independent political and economic power in the way of
their world domination when they arranged for the great crashbombing
frame-up.

Another plane down near New York!
A Navy intelligence plane equipped to detect, analyze and block enemy radio
and guidance transmissions. (Recall that the section of the Pentagon
destroyed on September 11 housed Naval Intelligence, a division of U.S.
military and intelligence that has is rumored to be resisting elite plans
globalization at the expense of American sovereignty and interests.)
There are nations, firms and criminal organizations that would be willing to
take substantial risks and invest substantial resources to capture the
technology aboard a Prowler.
It is also possible that this Prowler still carried data collected during
operations in the Middle East (Iraq) and Central Asia (Turkey).
This too fits a very improbable pattern of accidents and terrorism within a
small radius of Manhattan Island,

Electronic Warfare Plane Crashes
By Associated Press
November 21, 2001, 2:36 PM EST
CHERRY POINT AIR STATION, N.C. -- A Marine Corps EA-6B Prowler electronic
warfare jet crashed into the Atlantic on Wednesday after all four crew
members ejected safely.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.
The plane went down 26 miles off the coast, said Maj. James Bell, a
spokesman for Cherry Point Air Station.
The crew members were all rescued by two helicopters from the base, he said.
They were taken to Carteret Regional Medical Center for checkups but none
had serious injuries.
No decision had been made on whether the aircraft will be recovered, Bell
said. "One factor we will have to consider is the Prowler has sensitive
electronic equipment on it."
Replacement cost for the Prowler, introduced to the Marine Corps in 1984, is
$52 million.
Prowlers are assigned to fly with fighters and bombers to jam enemy radar.
Bell said the squadron to which the jet was assigned had recently returned
from duty in Turkey, where it patrolled no-fly zones over Iraq.
The air station has four Prowler squadrons consisting of about 20 planes,
Bell said.
Prowlers have a range of more than 900 miles without refueling, and can
reach a maximum speed of nearly the speed of sound.
Names of the crew members were withheld until their families could be
notified.

"Why in the world would I pay any attention to your ramblings,
Dick? BIN LADEN ADMITTED TO ORCHESTRATING THE ATTACKS. HE DID IT.* All of
these conspiracy theories are absolute lunacy.
You really are as crazy as the idiots that acquitted OJ Simpson.
Your life revolves around conspiracies that you imagine are
happening. No amount of truth or, even, a confession will every snap
you back into reality. You're not a hate-monger like Knight and
Willie. But you are pathetic."
Xxxxxx
* The OBL confession of course never happened, it is a deliberate twist of
what the man really said-- read the full OBL interview text referenced here
at www.rense.com As it turns out, this interview is also Tony Blairs
famous "irrefutable proof"of a few weeks ago -- demonstrating what a dim or
sinisterly disingenuous disaster Britain's PM is as well.
But 99 percent of my total mail goes the other way. They can't answer the
case that has been built, but than can do a good job of keeping people from
hearing
about it.
Here are more letters supporting the frame-up/cover-up analysis:
Dear Mr. Eastman:
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxxxx
The takeoff had been successful and routine, but at one half hour into the
flight, at 1;48;30 ----at a moment when the pilot left the controls for a
trip to the toilet and the co-pilot was left in the cockpit alone -- an
English voice can be heard on the black box recorder saying "control it"
(the co-pilot was Egyptian) --
and suddenly, one must conclude, control of the plane taken from him,i.e.,
the cockpit controls were bing overridden. -- After some seconds the
co-pilot, reacting to his losse of control to a phantom controller, says,
"I'm trusting you Jehovah" (or "I'm in your hands, Jehovah" --"Tawakkalt ala
Allah.")
The co-pilot then disengaged the auto-pilot to restore control. Control was
not restored. The co-pilot again said a prayer as the elevators dropped
putting the plane into a dive. After sixteen seconds of this dive the
Captain returned to the cockpit asking "What happening? Whats happening?"
Captain and co-pilot were presumably working to pull out of the dive, but
the controls were not responding and now the throttles turned up to full
forward -- at which point the co-pilot cut the fuel lines. Then by phantom
control the right and left elevators each moved all the way in the opposite
directions and the ailerons on both wings both went fully up. The pilot
cried "Get away in the engines! Shut the engines!" To which the co-pilot
replied, It's shut." The last words are of the captain frantically
instructing "Pull! Let's pull! Let's pull!" At this point something shut
off the instrument recorders (or they were later erased).

Former NTSB Official Doubts Accident Caused Flt. 587 Crash
Aviation expert and former National Transportation & Safety Board official
Vernon Grose said late Monday that he's increasingly skeptical that the
crash
of American Airlines Flight 587 was purely accidental.
"I am backing away from the ready idea that this is simply an accident,"
Grose told Fox News Channel's John Scott.
The veteran air crash prober said that he questions the sequence in which
the
plane broke up over Jamaica Bay before slamming into a residential area in
Rockaway, Queens.
"Photographs you've already shown tonight (indicate) the vertical
stabilizer
of the aircraft with the American Airlines insignia right on it (fell into)
Jamaica Bay long before the engine falls off in Queens," he told Scott.
Grose said that if the vertical stabilizer detached from Flt. 587 over
Jamaica Bay, which the plane traversed before plummeting to the ground in
Rockaway, it suggested that catastrophic engine failure alone may not have
caused the crash.
"No, I don't think that's the situation at all," he told FNC.
"The engine that came free, which apparently was the number 1 left engine,
and crashed on land. That was well after the vertical stabilizer was
detached
from the aircraft and that tells me that somehow..... the airplane was
progressively disintegrating, not just losing an engine and then diving
into
the ground."
"Earlier today I thought it was simply the loss of an engine that caused
this," Grose said. "But I'm not convinced now.... I am becoming more
skeptical."

ACTIVE FBI SPECIAL AGENT FILES COMPLAINT CONCERNING OBSTRUCTED FBI
ANTI-TERRORIST INVESTIGATIONS
COMPLAINS THAT SEPTEMBER 11 TERRORISTS ATTACKS MIGHT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED
FBI COULD HAVE STOPPED BIN LADEN YEARS AGO
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that
investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today
that an active FBI Special Agent filed a complaint last week concerning
FBI/Justice Department interference in and mishandling of terrorist
investigations.
The FBI Special Agent, who wishes to remain anonymous at this time,
alleges that he was retaliated against when he continued to push for and
pursue certain terrorist investigations over the objections of his FBI and
Justice
Department supervisors. The FBI Special Agent, who is represented by
Judicial Watch and David Schippers, Esq., filed the complaint last week
with the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General (IG) and
Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).
Based on the evidence, the FBI Special Agent believes that if certain
investigations had been allowed to run their courses, Osama bin Laden's
network might have been prevented from committing the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks which resulted in the deaths of nearly 5,000
innocents.
Judicial Watch is requesting a full scale, independent investigation
into its client's concerns and seeks to hold accountable those responsible
for preventing the full investigation of terrorist activity here in the
United States and abroad.

clinton body count centers around the isreali purchase of said software"

So much more the "deviant elites" can't get back into the box.
A source has responded to the frame-up information with
an astouding piece of information. Readers of certain
watchdog lists may recognize his style, and in recognizing,
will realize that this is solid information.

remember that piece of software i wrote
about called promis?
supposedly it is implemented in flight
control...
it is supposed to be there to prevent
what happened...
remember all the isreali connections
to the bombing?
did you know that the bush clinton body
count centers around the isreali purchase
of said software?
several governments and institutions were
sold promis...there was no big deal except
in the case of
the isreali purchase...what was the
hulabaloo about?
the software was designed so that one
agency's system could spy on another
...certain versions of promis would
allow certain agencies to spy on other
agency's promis files...
example:
10 agencies spy on the world...all
using promis...
2 agencies spy on the 10 agencies
that are using promis, using a version
of promis designed to do so...
justice department, cia, nsa, mossad
have promis...perhaps others...
at a given time there are rarely over
50 mossad agents operative globally...
so how is it that they seem so
well informed, even when the US attempts
to withhold info from them? they have
the super-promis
promis was implemented to keep terrorist
attacks from occuring like this...if one
had the super version...one could
effectively thwart such...
the key is seeing which political and
economic agencies use this hyper
promis...the money trail of this event
seems to go straight to the top of the
cia...the mossad seems thoroughly involved
...london has always been a link between
israeli and american
intelligence...
face it, this was an effort on behalf of a
multi-national global elite...
bin laden, if he is going to be caught
at all, is receiving some sort of payoff
...or perhaps his kids...
isreal moves in during the period it took
to overrun kabul...wreaks havoc in palestine
...pulls out...and a few days later...the
taliban runs for the hills...
smokescreen no longer necessary...

I don't know anything about this, but I do trust that you know aviation.
Now, given that design weakness, would that not make the tail fin a likely
target for a remote-controlled fin-banging "swinging gate" attack? And
might we not also be looking for a Brit among the perpetrators?
At any rate, I am sending out our two letters (my first experiment with HTML

I agree but I doubt remote control was needed. The same
thing could be accomplished by a hidden program
inside the aircraft flight directors. Tell the
hijackers to fly the planes back and forth over
Manhatten so that they are seen and videographed,
then as soon as the planes' GPS systems
detect they are in the right area the flight
director takes over and flies the planes into
the targets, before the hijackers
realize what is going on and can stop it.
Had remote control been used, there would have
been too much time for people on radios, aircraft
cabin phones, or even cell phones to get the message
out that the planes were flying themselves. It had
to happen in the space of a few seconds.
And, having the aircraft under the control of
the flight directors at the end explains the
extremely high proficiency the pilots appeared
to have in those final extreme maneuvers.
Mike
======================
Hello Mike,
On page 3A of Friday's (11/16) USA Today
there is an article by reporter Alan Levin
which tells us everything we need to know:
1. A sudden swing of the rudder, far beyond
the normal range, caused the tail of the
Airbus A300 to tear off.
2. The "aviation experts" report that the
plane flew through turbulence from another
aircraft twice. But they don't say how they
know this unusual turbuleence was there. I
think they are merely deducing its existence
from the behavior of the plane, and they are
doing that because they are not permitted to
reach the more reasonable conclusion. (If
the "experts" want to appeal to
catastrophe-theoretic mathematics, which says
that a butterfly's wing flap can, through
nonlinear complex causation, result in a
hurricane a year later, it is obvious they are
grasping and covering their failure with spurious
appeals to the totally inapplicable science.
3. But wait! What are they using "turbulence"
to explain?
"According to the flight data ... It then
began a series of unusual sideways movements
that slammed passengers back and forth."
There you have it, Mike. It all began when
the rudder began a successession of extreme
right-left-right-left-right etc. swings, i.e.,
yawing, but then slamming against the yaw with
an opposite force -- the same thing you would
do if you were trying to break a piece of loose
metal sticking out of a wall, i.e., push back
and forth until the molecular bondings are
sufficiently broken and it comes off in your hand.
The vertical fin finally just tore off.
4. When the rudder was gone, the remote sabateur
began playing with the flaps, ailerons and
elevators:
"At one point it turned 10 degrees to the
left in one second.."
Then we come to this:
"Finally the jet banked to the left, even
though data indicate the pilots were trying
to move it the opposite direction."
This sounds too much like the EgyptAir pilots where were trying to do one
thing in the cockpit while the plane was being made to do something entirely
different by override controls elsewhere.
Finally the phantom controllers decided to end the game:
"The nose dropped down, then the recording ended, said Marion Blakey,
chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)."
Yes, of course, the NTSB. This is the same investigative agency that
insisted that the Egyptian co-pilot suddenly decided to commit suicide while
the pilot was visiting the toilet -- a story that the voice recordings does
not support (when the pilot got back both were trying to save the plane,
both were discussing the fact that the plane was not responding to controls.
It looks like Marion Blakey is complicit along with whoever manages her.)
Then, exactly as in the EgyptAir crash, the voice recorder clicked off --
the evesdropping remote controller didn't need to hear any more and didn't
want us to hear any more. Both the planes power and the self-contained
battery gave out -- exactly as with the New York to Cairo Egypt Air flight
on 11/31/99.
Levin has more on this:
"Later in the recording, data about the rudder became 'unreliable,' Blakely
said, possibly indicating the moment when the tail shook loose. Shortly
afterward, an even more intense sideways movment was recorded. Within 2.5
seconds, the jet began spiraling to the left, and the recorder stopped...."
Oh, wow! In other words, Mike: 'If the data doesn't fit the pre-determined
conclusion, just throw it out.'
The "experts" claim some kind of metal fatigue on the "composite-materials"
alloy in the tail assembly, and so the Federal Aviation Administration will
now require new inspections to make sure that turbulence from nearby
Japanese flights will not tear off any more tails. [Yet, from another
article on the same page, we learn that the National Transporation Safety
Board doesn't know what it is talking about. " 'The board has no real
expert in composite materials,' says Greg Feith, a former NTSB investigator
who handled hundreds of of incidents and accidents during more than 20 years
with the safety board." And from an other article we learn that Marion
Blakey is now to her job, being "a career Washington bureaucrat and
lobbyist" (for whom?) she is getting her "on the job training" with total
authority of these critical investigations -- and newsgroup hecklers have
called you unqualified, Mike, when you were right all along about the
missile that brought down TWA ###. And little Marion gets closure and will
probaly have her story told in Readers Digest. The establishment gets
closure. The phantom saboteur remains scott free and unintimidated by Maion
Blakey. (Ever been in a bureaucracy with lots to hide, Mike? I have.)
Unwilling to draw the forbidden conclusion Blakey claims that the data
recorder simply does not indicate what caused the jet's tail to break apart
or the craft to suddenly enter a steep dive, or to send its engines flying
off. Yet isn't it obvious? Consider:
The "phantom" (i.e., remote) controller first started controlling the
rudder, back and force, continuous extreme stresses on the tail, force in
one direction followed by force in the opposite direction, until the tail
fell off. Then they played with the ailerons for a while and then they put
the plane into a dive. And while the plane was diving at full throttle,
they put the flaps and ailerons both down putting such drag on the plane
that the engines, still pulling hard, just snapped the bracking of the
engine pods.
The article even quotes NTSB's deputy chief admitting that the turbulence
waves encountered were "relatively minor" -- in other words, they are
grasping at straws, Mike, at catastrophic butterflies!
Clearly it was just was coincidence that the puffs of turbulence from the
nearest plane were sensed by the recorders when, as
"the data suggests .. the jets rudder, a panel at the rear of the veritcal
tail fin that pilots use to turn the jet's nose right and left, began moving
dramatically after the second [puff of turbulence]."
Yet the story reveals multiple slams from the rudder in different directions
.
" 'This is really slamming things around sideways," said John Purvis, a
former accident investigator with Boeing.
"The movement of a rudder is one of the few things that can trigger such
a force on a jet."
Now read carefully this next paragraph from Levin's story -- see the spin
and look for the source:
"It is possible that pilots made the rudder move intentionally or by
accident. Once source familiar with the investigation said that preliminary
evidence from the data recorder suggest that one of the pilots pushed the
pedels that control the rudder.
But aviation experts say they doubted that pilots would do such a thing. At
that point in the flight, pilots rarely move the rudder at all, they said."
[Mike, I must acknowledge that Alan Levin is a fine reporter and it shows
here -- Levin didn't contradict the unnamed source who was trying to put
official spin on the story -- but Levin did balance it with some objective
reporting of his further investigative digging. Cudos to Alan Levin!]
NOW GET THIS --THE FROSTING ON THE CAKE:
Levin ends his story with this account of the history of another A300
episode with unaccountalbe rudder problems. Tell me if this doesn't sound
like a test run of the saboteur's remote control-capture system:
"The rudder on an A300 owned by American Airlines moved several times during
a flight in 1999, causing the jet to move 'side to side' as it prepared to
land in Miami, according to a report by the NTSB. The rudder movements were
'extreme,' the report said, but the pilots landed safely....
"The NYSB has yet to determine what caused the rudder problem in 1999. It's
unclear whether such a malfunction could have caused the problem on Flight
587."
Come again? What malfunction? No malfunction has been identified, no
explanation given for either plane. All that this new information does is
discount the turbulence theory and the pilot error theory.
(I'm going to share our letters. Hope you do the same.)
You are the man who, by your example, showed me the possibilites of
newsgroups, a few years back and I have never thanked you.
With gratitude,
Dick Eastman

In the above reference is made to this letter:
Crashbombing by Remote Control
The takeoff had been successful and routine, but at one half hour into the
flight, at 1:48:30 ----at a moment when the pilot left the controls for a
trip to the toilet and the co-pilot was left in the cockpit alone -- an
English voice can be heard on the black box recorder saying "control it"
(the co-pilot was Egyptian and had not been speaking English with the pilot
that morning) -- when suddenly, one must conclude, control of the plane
taken from him,i.e., the cockpit controls were bing overridden. -- After
some seconds the co-pilot, reacting to his losse of control to a phantom
controller, says, "I'm trusting you Jehovah" (or "I'm in your hands,
Jehovah") - "Tawakkalt ala Allah.")
The co-pilot then attempted to disengaged the auto-pilot to restore control.
Control was not restored. The co-pilot again reacted with this prayer
exclamation as the elevators dropped putting the plane into a dive. After
sixteen seconds of this dive the Captain returned to the cockpit asking
"What happening? Whats happening?" Now captain and co-pilot were
presumably working to pull out of the dive, but the controls were not
responding and now the throttles turned up to full forward -- at which
point the co-pilot cut the fuel lines. Then by phantom control the right
and left elevators each moved all the way in the opposite directions and the
ailerons on both wings both went fully up. The pilot cried "Get away in
the engines! Shut the engines!" To which the co-pilot replied, "It's
shut." The last words are those of the captain frantically instructing
"Pull! Let's pull! Let's pull!" At this point something shut off the
instrument recorders (or they were later erased).
The American investigation said that the co-pilot committed suicide, with
the Egypt AIr and the Egyptian government insisiting that that is an
impossible interpretation of the audio message. The Egyptians -- who
understand the language -- insist that that is an impossible interpretation
of last moments of conversation recorded or of the earlier conversation at
takeoff, and that the co-pilot gave no evidence of emotional instability.

BEACHHEAD -- Super-crime eilte's days are numbered

Internet amateurs stand aside. Leading New York Journalists in concert
today began reporting the real WTC story, the frame-up story. Robert
Lederman essays and links represent the first significant blow against the
real terrorist since the frame-up assault on America began. Now with great
newspapers getting the real story out, we the people have our first real
hope of identifying and defeating the real evil behind the crashbombings.
Once public opinion is awakened by our free press not even the highest
establihsment connections will hold back justice.
9 Unpopular Ideas On 9/11
by Robert Lederman
October 24, 2001
Are you less than satisfied with the official explanations about 9/11?
Here are nine for the moment relatively unpopular but nevertheless
compelling ideas to consider about the attack. Americans who tend to believe
in any or all them are in the minority right now. Perhaps they won't be in
the near future.
1. This new war is not a conflict between Islamic fundamentalism and
American freedom.
2.The destruction of the WTC was anticipated, and might have been
preventable.
3. The Rockefeller connection may be the key to unlocking an understanding
of this entire issue. Why has their connection to the WTC been omitted from
99.999% of the media coverage about 9/11?
4. Anthrax may not be getting sent to the media and to Congress by
terrorists.
5. This conflict is about oil not terrorism, Israel or Islam.
6. Are we bombing the wrong country?
7. Bush is not doing a good job of protecting America. It would be far more
accurate to say he's doing a good job of destroying it.
8. There is an occult aspect to the attacks which cannot be ignored or
attributed to coincidence.
9. NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani did not unify New York City, but has done
everything in his power to destroy the electoral process and guarantee futur
e social chaos.

Bin Laden Family Could Profit
From a Jump In Defense Spending
Due to Ties to U.S. Bank
Through this investment and its ties to Saudi royalty, the bin Laden family
has become acquainted with some of the biggest names in the Republican
Party. In recent years, former President Bush, ex-Secretary of State James
Baker and ex-Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci have made the pilgrimage to
the bin Laden family's headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Mr. Bush makes
speeches on behalf of Carlyle Group and is senior adviser to its Asian
Partners fund, while Mr. Baker is its senior counselor. Mr. Carlucci is the
group's chairman. Osama is one of more than 50 children of Mohammed bin
Laden, who built the family's $5 billion business, Saudi Binladin Group,
largely with construction contracts from the Saudi government.

2. The destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) was anticipated and might
have been preventable.
Outside of the mainstream U.S. media - which proudly admits it is censoring
itself at the request of the Bush administration - there are hundreds of
articles and reports detailing the foreknowledge of various U.S. agencies
and officials about a terrorist attack taking place around 9/11. The sources
of these reports include many of our allies in the new war.
David Schippers the Republican lawyer who impeached President Clinton,
claims he spent months before 9/11 trying to get information to Attorney
General Ashcroft from FBI agents who claim they were told not to investigate
leads that suggested a terrorist attack on Manhattan was imminent. For a
transcript of Schippers' interview Click Here
After having been bombed in 1993 the WTC was probably the building complex
in the U.S. most expected by Federal authorities to be the subject of a
future terrorist attack. Various books and movies had such an attack, in
some cases involving hijacked jets, as part of their plot. A FEMA emergency
response manual, titled: Emergency Response To Terrorism ERT: SS Q 534
(Click Here), featured the WTC on its' cover. Why were the Federal
government and the Giuliani administration seemingly so unprepared on 9/11?
A Daily News article details that numerous children in the NYC Muslim
community made public statements shortly before 9/11 about what was to
happen to the WTC. Are we to believe school kids knew and publicly bragged
about it, but the CIA didn't know?

Most of the suspected hijackers had valid U.S. passports and some were
suspected terrorists who were actually under surveillance at the time by the
authorities. A number of them received U.S. military training and all the

3. The Rockefeller connection may be the key to unlocking an understanding
of this entire issue. Why has their connection to the WTC been omitted from
99.999% of the media coverage about 9/11?

"The World Trade center was a project started up in 1960 by David
Rockefeller. The towers were sometimes nicknamed David and Nelson, the
Rockefeller brothers."
a. The secretive Rockefeller family is considered by many authors to have
been one of the main forces behind the scenes of the Ford, Reagan, Carter,
Bush and Clinton presidencies. The Rockefeller family is the world's #1
promoter of eugenics, was half-owner of Nazi Germany's IG Farben and is at
the center of virtually every organization and idea associated with The New
World Order.

b. According to bin Laden his main problem with the U.S. involves us being
in Saudi Arabia and propping up their unpopular regime. The Saudi royal
family bin Laden hates so much is kept in power by men who work for the
Rockefeller family and the CIA to insure the flow of oil to Standard Oil and
other U.S. oil corporations. WWII, the Holocaust, the Arab-Israeli conflict,
the Gulf War and the present war on terrorism all share a direct connection
to the Rockefeller dynasties' oil interests. Standard Oil, now called Exxon,
is the most powerful corporation on earth.
For a very detailed account of this Middle Eastern oil story and how it has
shaped both recent American and world history see, "The Secret War Against
the Jews" by John Loftus and Mark Aarons, St. Martin's Press. John Loftus is
a former U.S. Department of Justice Nazi war crimes prosecutor.

American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane flown into World Trade Tower2,
had 11 crewmembers. A total of 65 people were on Flight 11. 6+5 = 11
The second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, hit the World Trade Tower 1 at
9:02 AM. 9+2 = 11
9/11 is the 254th day of the year. 2+5+4 = 11
After 9/11, there are 111 days left in the year
New York City (where the major attack occurred) consists of 11 letters

feels about the Bush and Giuliani administrations, for Americans there can
be no desirable outcome to this situation other than America and NYC coming
out on top, our troops coming home safely and all terrorists, including our

ISRAELI'S LINKED TO WTC AND SEARS TOWER THREATS ALSO LINKED TO THEFT AND
FRAUD
November 12, 2001
by "Donald Hogan"
Employees of a chain of New York and Florida-based moving companies
discovered holding suspicious video tapes of both the World Trade Center and
the Sears Tower have been linked to a rash of summertime thefts and fraud.
Moshe "Moses" Elmakias, and a number of other Israelis have been accused of
robbing entire households of furniture and then charging individual
households up to $12,000 for services that were never rendered. Working
Under company names such as Urban Moving Systems, Moving Systems, Inc.,
Advance Moving System, AAA Van Lines, State to State Van Lines, America's
Best Movers, and Quality Moving Storage companies allegedly defrauded
innocent families during this summer. Operating in conjuntion with each
other, but running separate websites the owners have flown under the radar
of authorities.
When confronted with his crime by one such customer, Elmakias showed no
remorse, responding in writing, "MAYBE WE WILL MOVE YOU NEXT TIME FROM THE
RICH MOVING COMPANY". Scores of victims cited similar arrogance by
employees. More than a few are out possessions and all of their worldly
belongings.
Although lawyers and families of the detained Israelis have been lobbying
for their release, any innocence of any wrongdoing has not been established.
Regardless, the Immigration and Naturalization Service agreed to sign
papers for their deportation with out ever formally charging them with any
crimes. This reporter considers the allegations raised to be enough to keep
them in this country until Elmakias and his collaborators can be seen by a
federal judge.

US Intelligence Had Warning Israel Was Planning Covert Op To "Turn US

Canadian News Wire Story Was Ordered Suppressed

News Embargo After Israeli Link Leak
NEWS EMBARGO AFTER ISRAELI LINK LEAK
Stern-Intel (Canada). A US military intelligence source revealed details
of an
internal intelligence memo that points to the Israeli Mossad intelligence
service having links to the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. The
intelligence source, who requested his name be withheld, confirmed the
internal
US intelligence memo circulated four weeks ago described information that
pointed to the threat of a covert Israeli operation on US soil to turn
mass
public opinion against Palestinian Arabs via an apparent terrorist attack
on US
interests that would give Israel the green light to implement a large
scale
military onslaught against the Palestinian Arab population.
The 11 September attack has been described by experts as being too
sophisticated for a lone terrorist group to execute. "This attack required
a
high level of military precision and the resources of an advanced
intelligence
agency. In addition, the attackers would have needed to be extremely
familiar
with both air force one flight operations, civil airline flight paths and
aerial assault tactics on sensitive US cities like Washington, Stated
David
Stern an expert on Israeli intelligence operations. The attacks targeted
the
Pentagon, World Trade Center towers, with the white house and air force
also
being targets according to the FBI.
"The attacks have certainly turned US public opinion firmly back in
Israel's
favor after 11 months of Palestinian uprising, heavy criticism of Israel
over
war crimes allegations and racism by a UN conference in Durban. The
attacks
serve no Arab group or nation's interests but their timing came in the
midst of
international condemnation of Israel for its policy of death squad
assassination of Palestinian political and police figures", added Stern.
If verified, the news of Israel's involvement in the US attack will come
as no
surprise to intelligence experts. The state of Israel has a long history
of
covert operations against Western targets with attacks on the King David
Hotel,
USS Liberty, murder of a Scandinavian UN envoy as well as espionage
against the
US during the Jonathan Pollard case.
On Wednesday the US defense department issued a warning to its officials
to
halt the leak of information on the investigation which it says is
happening on
a daily basis since the attacks occurred.

Main Message:
OTHER NEWS STORYS ADD UP TO COMPELLING SUPPORT
FOR FRAME-UP THEORY OF DEATH-PLANE TERROR:
No war yet, and so hope grows.
But I am more convinced than ever that
On the ABC television news tonight (11/3), Peter Jennings reported that one
of the buildings destroyed in the 9/11 attack contained all of the evidence
of federal cases being conducted in New York. The CIA headquarters in New
York was in Building Seven of the WTC complex. The computers storing
information on all big financial cases and paper documents have been
destroyed. Many cases now cannot be brought to trial because the evidence
to prosecute no longer exists.
On National Public Radio, on the All Things Considered Program, it was
reported from Northern Afganistan that the price of opium and of heroin
have fallen amazingly as the Taliban and their restriction on opium
production imposed last year has now been contravened by the new
stance of the United States against the Taliban -- whereas before
September 11 the Bush administration was working with the Taliban to
erradicate opium growing and its supply through China, Kazakhstan
and Pakistan to world distributers.
We also know from the Washington Post that an investment firm
in the WTC was tipped off of an imminent terror attack two hours
before the attack and that the firm first notified Israeli intelligence
(Mossad) before calling American authorities. (Long ago I deduced
that the Mossad, like the CIA, is also renegade, because Mossad
has never blown the whistle on rogue agents of the CIA -- it has
helped the CIA keep its drug trade a secret from the American
people -- that means Mossad is renegade to in my book. I'd
be interested in hearing any other plausible explanation.)
Also on NPR's All Things Considered reported that the US Government
refuses to share with teh Taliban the "irrefutable evidence" they
claim they have, and that has so convinced Tony Blair. I cannot
imagine any information the could be so certain, so impossible to
falsify, so conclusive. And the only information that Secretary of State
Collin Powell can name is the record of past bombings of a U.S. Navy
vessel and two Embassies tied to Osama bin Ladin's terrorism
organization (not to be confused with the Afgan Taliban).
====
In view of all of the above, I am submitting the "frame-up" theory,
below, for a second look:
Thesis:
Easy-to-hate Osama FRAMED by Russian & Kazakh Mafias and Renegade Oil &
Banking Execs seeking Afgan pipleline, secure opium supply trade, and
desruction of transaction evidence and witnesses to illegal oil swaps and
bribery.
======================
Ever see an American "cowboy western" where the
outlaws disguise themselves as Indians when they
commit their crimes to terrorize settlers off their land
so they can buy it up cheap and profit from their
inside information that a railroad is going to be
built there? And it was always the perpetrators
who, back in town and in their respectable clothes
agitate the town exhorting "The only good Injun
is a dead Injun!" The Lone Ranger was never
fooled. What about us?
======================
No one who reads this can believe that the Taliban are the
most likely suspects. I guarantee it.
The Price of Oil; What was Mobil up to in Kazakhstan and Russia?
by Semour M. Hersh
New Yorker (Magazine), July 9, 2001 Pp. 48-65
Read just the excerpt below and you will come
away with a very clear idea of who is really
behind the frame-up terror aimed at controlling
Afganistan.
I am sending this information to a number of the
important American newspapers as well as the
usual newsgroups.
Here is what I have so far -- in case you are
in a hurry. (I hope you are.)

-------------------------------------
It is being argued that only fanatical "Fundamentalist" Moslems
are crazy enough to resort to suicide death planes. The behavioral
technology to get men to suicide-bomb was developed
behind the iron curtain in the land of Ivan Pavlov. When the
Soviet Union fell Kazakhstan had a thousand nuclear missiles
which it later sold to our buy-back program: but they also had
the behavior-control technology and they still do. And the
strong emotional resentment of what Western globalism
has done to Kazakhstan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan,
Tajikistan, and UzbekistanSerbia and other victims of
the "fall of communism" (e.g., Serbia, Croatia,Romania) provides
traumatized human material of emotional critical mass that psychological
conditioners can shape into death-plane terrorists. (The extensive
"Hinkley" and mind-control literature is relevant here, as is the work
of investigator and human-rights activist Alan Yu.)
Now, continuing from the previous posting to this thread:
(end excerpt)
==========
To: The President of the United States of America
Washington, D.C.
Sir:
We are fast learning new meaning of those words
from our great revolutionary war: "These are the times
that try mens souls." The weight that has been suddenly
been thrown upon you, Mr. President, of unprecedented
terror unleased on our shores reminds not a few citizens
of what Lincoln bore when Fort Sumpter was first fired
upon in 1861. Doubtless, when you can find a moment
in this national emergency to reflect upon the less direct
ramifications of this act, you must feel that further loss
of so much the opportunity, in terms of the necessary time
and energy this crisis absorbs, that could have been used
to attain the many of the great reforms you and your able
administration intended to accomplish. I have three daughters
and a love of all children, and so I too was anticipating
this great good and now feel the loss of it to terror.
Mr. President, I am completely convinced that the Taliban were
not responsible for terrorism that has cost so many American
lives in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. I am
also convinced that you and the American people are victims
of a frame-up by the powerful international drug cartels who
seek both to destablilze the United States and your Administration
and to destroy the Taliban because of their role in acting upon
moral religious motives to erradicate the opium crops grown by
the drug lords of northern Afganistan that supply
the Chinese triads working through the People's Liberation Army
transnational corporation and drug cartel that furnish the world with
opium and heroin. The Taliban merely got in the way of this great
flow of wealth within the great and perverse international system of
anracho-capitalist free trade. I also am convinced by long study,
that the CIA has many renegade agents whose heads have been
turned by the temptation of the big money available in the two -
trillion-dollar-a-year global drug trade. And finally, I believe that
our great investment banks -- some of the most influential people in
this country -- have become accomplices in this trade through
their laundering of untold billions in drug revenues, most of it then
invested in Communist China in new high-tech factories feed by
cheap Chinese labor -- putting honest businessmen out of business
all around the world.
Mr. President, may I add that I am convinced that your faith in
Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is genuine. I share that faith
with you, though flawed and falling short in many ways.
Mr. President, believing the Taliban to be an organization that
exists to free a large section of the world for genuine freedom
to worship the one true God of their ancestors and to free their
people from economic hardship resulting from serious flaws
in our modern system of globalization and unregulated international
trade and finance by a few billionaires hostile to Arabic culture
and Islamic morality (which opposes exploitative usury etc.),
and knowing them to be innocent of the terror of which they have
been accused, I have decided to exercise my political freedom
to associate with any political cause or set of ideas I personally
deem just, good and appropriate.
I am announcing to you now, effective immediately, my joining,
as a continuing pacifist and as a patriotic American, this International
group for the curtailment of unjust economic practices and the
systematic persecution of Arabic states and Islamic peoples.
I have no contact with members of the Taliban and I know of
no sympathizers with this organization that I realize is much hated
in this country right now because of the disinformation that blames
the terror done by as yet unidentified others on these poor people
and their just cause.
My purpose, of course, is to be arrested and put in court where I
will have to be tried according to our laws. It is my hope that
my action will become known to the public and that through a
public trial it will become obvious to all that no one in the
United States government has any evidence whatsoever that
will hold up in our courts under our laws.
I do this to help you Mr. President. I do this to get your notice,
even as those around you press you to go to war with all of
the Middle East.
As an internet propagandist for populism and against globalization
I have said many unkind things about you and about people
close to you, occasionally knowingly without sufficient evidence
for such accusations to be responsible. But I confess those sins
now. I beg that you hear the merits of the Taliban case from
soneone other than Richard Perle or Paul Wolfowitz. The
hawks have your ear and so does Mr. Powell, the middle of
the roader, who seeks a war diplomatically conditioned so that
nothing valuable is upset. Mr. President, it is my hope and prayer
that when you have this dove in one of your cages, that you will
hear him too.
I am joining the Taliban, believing it to be an
organization working for justice and good in the Middle East
and I do so not believing that this organization is responsible
for the terror that has horrified the world.
May the our Lord and Savior Jesus Chirst continue to guide
you in your service to the Republic.
And please, for the sake of my family, be apprised that I am
not armed, that I do not believe in violence, and that I will go
with arresting officers peacefully without anger or hatred for
any man.
I am a part-time clerk at Blockbuster Video in Yakima.
I have the honor to remain,
Yours faithfully,

La Jornada (May 19, 2001) has implicated the most powerful Establishment
banks in laundering and cultivating 'black money' from drug traffickers and
corrupt government around the world:
"There is a consensus among U.S. Congressional Investigators, former
bankers and international banking experts that U.S. and European banks
launder between $500 billion and $1 trillion of dirty money annually,
half of which is laundered by U.S. banks alone."
REUTERS 10.03.01 -- 18:49 GMT 19:49 UK | US 'Received Signs of Terror Plan'
By the BBC's Jon Leyne in Washington
The American Government suspected before 11 September that terrorists were
planning attacks against the United States, US Secretary of State Colin
Powell has said.
But intelligence agencies were unable to obtain more specific information
that might have prevented the attacks, he said.
His comments followed a call from a committee of the US Congress for an
independent investigation into the intelligence failures.
Powell: Frustrated by intelligence failure
Mr Powell said there had been a lot of signs several months ago that
"something was going on".
But he said US agencies had never obtained any reliable warning of what was
to come.
Mr Powell expressed frustration about that failure, but defended the work of
the intelligence agencies.
It is already public knowledge that, during the last few months, the
American authorities issued a number of warnings about the possibility of an
attack.
But they were mostly misdirected. One warning, for example, stressed a
danger in east Asia.
On another occasion, the threat was thought to be centred on the 4 July
independence celebrations.
'Cultural revolution needed'
A committee of the US Congress that supervises intelligence services has
called for an independent investigation into what happened.
The committee said there was a need for a "cultural revolution" inside the
CIA and the FBI.
But in general there has been a remarkable lack of recriminations since 11
September.
The Washington Post newspaper has also revealed two failed attempts to
capture or kill Osama Bin Laden during President Clinton's term in office.
According to officials quoted in the newspaper, the CIA secretly trained 60
Pakistani commandos to prepare for a mission inside Afghanistan.
The operation was ended after the Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif was
deposed in a military coup two years ago.
Sudan offer
The paper also said that Sudan had offered to hand over Bin Laden when he
was living there in 1996.
At that time, the US authorities believed that they did not have enough
evidence to put him on trial.
They failed to persuade Saudi Arabia to take him into custody.
So Bin Laden was expelled to Afghanistan, where he is thought to have been
based ever since.

remember that piece of software i wrote about called
promis?
supposedly it is implemented in flight control...
it is supposed to be there to prevent what happened...
remember all the isreali connections to the bombing?
did you know that the bush clinton body count centers
around the isreali purchase of said software?
several governments and institutions were sold
promis...there was no big deal except in the case of
the isreali purchase...what was the hulabaloo about?
the software was designed so that one agency's system
could spy on another...certain versions of promis
would allow certain agencies to spy on other agency's
promis files...
example:
10 agencies spy on the world...all using promis...
2 agencies spy on the 10 agencies that are using
promis, using a version of promis designed to do so...
justice department, cia, nsa, mossad have
promis...perhaps others...
at a given time there are rarely over 50 mossad agents
operative globally...so how is it that they seem so
well informed, even when the US attempts to withhold
info from them? they have the super-promis
promis was implemented to keep terrorist attacks from
occuring like this...if one had the super
version...one could effectively thwart such...
the key is seeing which political and economic
agencies use this hyper promis...the money trail of
this event seems to go straight to the top of the
cia...the mossad seems thoroughly involved...london
has always been a link between israeli and american
intelligence...
face it, this was an effort on behalf of a
multi-national global elite...
bin laden, if he is going to be caught at all, is
receiving some sort of payoff...or perhaps his kids...

AN UNCENSORED TRANSCRIPT
Makes the war of dope and oil look like a
dopey oily war...
From: neworder <newo...@execpc.com>
Since September 9, no one has been more denounced
and demonized by U.S. officials and the media than
Osama bin Laden. Fearful that some of his statements
might find resonance and sympathy among more thoughtful
members of the American publicand therefore discredit
many of its own assertionsthe government demanded
that such statements be suppressed. An acquiescent
"free press" has dutifully complied.
(Ummat's questions are in red text. Osama's responses
are in blue text.)
U: You have been accused of involvement in the attacks
in New York and Washington. What do you want to say
about this? If you are not involved, who might be?
OBL: I am thankful to The Ummat Group of Publications, which
has given me the opportunity to convey my viewpoint to
the people, particularly the valiant and true Muslim people
of Pakistan, who have refused to believe the lies of the devil.
I have already said that I am not involved in the Sept. 11
attacks in the United States.
As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no
knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing
of innocent women, children and other human beings as a
worthy act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent
women, children and other people. Such a practice is
forbidden, even in the course of battle.
It is the United States, which is perpetrating every
maltreatment of women, children and common people
of other faiths, particularly the followers of Islam. All that
is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient
to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel.
There is also a warning for those Muslim countries, which
have witnessed all these things as silent spectators.
What was done earlier to the innocent people of Iraq,
Chechnya and Bosnia? Only one conclusion can be derived
from the indifference of the United States and the West to
these acts of terror and the patronage of the tyrants by
these powers: that the America is an anti-Islamic power,
and it is patronizing the anti-Islamic forces.
Its friendship with the Muslim countries is just a show,
rather deceit. By enticing or intimidating these countries,
the United States is forcing them to play a role of its choice.
Look all around, and you will see that the slaves of the
United States are either rulers or enemies of Muslims.
The U.S. has no [real] friends nor does it want to keep any,
because the prerequisite of friendship is to come to the level
of the friend and to consider him on par with you. America
does not want to see anyone equal to it. It expects slavery
from others. Therefore, other countries are either its slaves
or subordinates.
There are countries which do not agree to become its slaves,
such as China, Iran, Libya, Cuba, Syria and the former
Soviet Union.
Those who committed the act of Sept. 11 are not friends
of the American people. I have already said that we are
against the American system, not against its people;
whereas in these attacks, ordinary American people
have been killed.
According to my information, the death toll is much higher
than what the U.S. government has stated. But the Bush
administration does not want panic to spread. The United
States should look within itself for the perpetrators of these
attacks: those people who are part of the U.S. system,
but dissent from it. Or those who are working for some
other system, persons who want to make the present
century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity,
so that their own civilization, nation, country or ideology
can survive.
It could be anyone, from Russia to Israel and from India to
Serbia. In the U.S. itself, there are dozens of well-organzied
and well-equipped groups, which are capable of causing
large-scale destruction.
Then you cannot forget the American Jews, who are annoyed
with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and
who want revenge against him.
Then there are the intelligence agencies in the U.S., which
require billions of dollars from Congress and the government
every year. This [funding issue] was not a big problem while
the Soviet Union was in existence. But after that the budget
of these agencies has been in danger. They needed an
enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Osama
and the Taliban, and then this incident happened.
You see, the Bush administration approved a budget of $40
billion. Where will this huge amount go? It will be provided
to the same agencies, which need huge funds and want
to exert their importance. Now they will spend the money
for their expansion and for increasing their importance.
I will give you an example. Drug smugglers from all over
the world are in contact with the U.S. secret agencies.
These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics
cultivation and trafficking, because their importance would
be diminished. The people in the U.S. drug enforcement
department encourage the drug trade, so that they can
show performance and get millions of dollars out of the
budget.
General [Manuel] Noriega was made a drug baron by the
CIA and, eventually, he was made a scapegoat. In the
same way, whether it is President Bush or any other U.S.
president, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human
rights abuses or hold it accountable for such crimes.
What is this? Is it not that there exists a government
within the government of the United States? That secret
government should be asked who made the attacks.
The losses caused by the attacks in New York and
Washington have proven that giving an economic blow
to the U.S. is not too difficult. U.S. experts admit that
a few more such attacks could bring the American
economy down. Why isn't Al-Qaeda targeting their
economic pillars?
I have already said that we are not hostile to the United
States. We are against the system, which makes other
nations slaves of the United States or forces them to
mortgage their political and economic freedom. This system
is totally under the control of American Jews, whose first
priority is Israel, not the United States. It is simply that
the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews
and are forced to live according to the principles and laws
laid down by them. '
So, punishment should reach Israel. In fact, it is Israel,
which is engaged in a blood bath against innocent Muslims,
while the U.S. doesn't utter a single word.
Why isn't harm inflicted on the enemies of Islam through
other means, apart from armed struggle? For instance,
inciting Muslims to boycott Western products, banks,
shipping lines and TV channels.
The first thing is that Western products can only be boycotted
when the Muslim community is fully awakened and organized.
Secondly, Muslim companies must become self-sufficient in
producing goods equal to the products of Western companies.
You see that wealth is scattered all across the Muslim world,
but not a single TV channel has been acquired which can
preach Islamic injunctions according to modern requirements
and attain international influence. Muslim traders and
philanthropists should make it a point that if the weapon
of public opinion is to be used, it is to be kept in hand.
Today's world is one of public opinion, and the fates of
nations are determined through its pressure. Once the tools
for building public opinion are obtained, everything that you
asked for can be done.
All the propaganda about your struggle has so far been
made by the Western media. But there is no information from
your sources about the network of Al-Qaeda and its jihadi
successes. Would you comment?
Our silence is our real propaganda. Rejections, explanations
or misprints only waste one's time. Through them, the enemy
wants you to engage in things which are of no use to you.
These things pull you away from your cause. The Western
media have unleashed such baseless propaganda, which
amazes us. But it reflects what is in their hearts. Gradually,
they themselves become captives of their own propaganda.
They become afraid of it and begin to cause harm to themselves.
Terror is the most dreaded weapon in the modern age,
and the Western media are mercilessly using it against their
own people. It can add fear and helplessness to the psyche
of the people of Europe and the United States. It means that
what the enemies of the United States cannot do, its media
are doing. You can understand what the performance of
a nation which suffers from fear and helplessness will be
in a [real] war.
Are there safe areas other than Afghanistan where you
can continue jihad?
There are areas in all parts of the world where strong jihadi
forces are present, from Indonesia to Algeria, from Kabul to
Chechnya, from Bosnia to Sudan, and from Burma to Kashmir.
That is not my problem. I am a helpless fellow man of God,
constantly in fear of my accountability before God. It is not
a question of Osama but of Islam and, in Islam too, of jihad.
Thanks to God, those waging a jihad can walk today with
their heads held high. Jihad will still be here when there
is no Osama.

From My Fireside to Yours: EITHER THERE WERE NO HIGHJACKERS
ABOARD THE COMMERCIAL JETS AT ALL, OR, IF ABOARD, THEY

ZOG's war is a criminal act. NATO, the CIA and Mossad teamed up
to produce this spectacular real-life movie of the destruction of
the Twin Towers. The commercial jets, captured electronically by
Global Hawk technology, became involuntary cruise missiles. The
airline pilots suddenly found they could no longer control their
aircraft. The purpose for this devastation was to jump-start the
American couch potato to approve of World War III to save
collapsing international banks, for oil company profits, and to
destroy Israel's enemies. Afghanistan is the key to the planet's
largest fields of oil and opium.
Meanwhile, Larry Silverstein, new owner of the old World Trade
Complex, makes a multi-billion dollar profit... while the insurance
companies take gas.... H. Ayre.

-------------
Yes, ditto on all of these. It seams like everything was staged, wouldn't
you say? The plane that crashed in Pa, debree was found 8 miles away. Debree
doesn't bounce up and out as far as 8 miles away from the site. That only
happens if you have an explosion in mid air. We will never be told the truth
about what was on those black boxes. The way those towers were built, they
were built to withstand a missile attack, and to sustain a collision, just
like on 911, and withstand many devastating impacts, I will never believe
that jet fuel caused the towers to just drop, I said the same thing when the
Murrah building came down, there is no way that half of a building could
come down with fertilizer and gasoline, no mater how much you use. That
building was a federal building, and our govt. had c-4 in that building
being stored and were on the verge of being caught, no one from the govt.
was in the building at the time of the explosion, and they were right there
on the scene, minutes after, now how can that be, unless they knew. Timothy
was just one of our govt. lackey's. I could go on and on and on, but I'm so
tired of all of it, and I won't even give my opinion, because it isn't
politically correct, but I will say this, and time will prove it, the
american citizens will be the ones to be penalized in the form of losing
their god given rights in this country, and people will allow it, because
they are afraid, and couldn't handle anything like what happened on 911
emotionally. If things happened here, like what happens in other countries,
people would be so freaked out, we have been lulled into complacency.I have
talked to many people who never thought it possible that something, anything
would,or could happening this country. I've been warning people that we are
very vulnerable, that it is only a matter of time. Those people, who are
supposed to be my friends, can't even admit I was right. America! america is
the land of the free, unless you are american, Jew, or Christian, any other
is increasingly accepted. I say this because Illegal immigrants can come
into this country and given a drivers license and are allowed to vote right
away, even though they haven't been given a visa. Private property owners
are being sued for stopping illegal immigrants from squatting on their land
as they sneak into our country. Our govt. has no intention of stopping this
over population problems, they are condoning it, and condemning anyone who
tries to defend their property. America, the land of the free. Something to
think about,our govt. is saying things like airport security is the problem,
well if it is so, then the airline owners and the FAA are the ones to blame,
but the ones responsible, wont' be punished, and whats more, our security
problems won't get fixed. I'm not sure how many years ago, but the FAA had
told the airline owners to rebuild, or re-enforce the cabins,and doors, did
that ever happen, NO! Now that the president has declared war on terrorism,
and the new bill (homeland Security) has come into effect, the govt. had
been working on redefining what is a terrorist, there is a lot of vague
descriptions in it as far as who is a terrorist. If the govt. truly wanted
to crack Dow on terrorism, they would do it, first by tightening security
on our borders, stop immigration, and put more people on the payroll to
screen through everything coming into this country. Ok enough.

I agree but I doubt remote control was needed. The same
thing could be accomplished by a hidden program inside the
aircraft flight directors. Tell the hijackers to fly the planes
back and forth over Manhatten so that they are seen and
videographed, then as soon as the planes' GPS systems
detect they are in the right area the flight director takes over and
flies the planes into the targets, before the hijackers
realize what is going on and can stop it.
Had remote control been used, there would have been too much
time for people on radios, aircraft cabin phones, or even cell phones
to get the message out that the planes were flying themselves. It had
to happen in the space of a few seconds.
And, having the aircraft under the control of the flight directors at
the end explains the extremely high proficiency the pilots appeared
to have in those final extreme maneuvers.
Mike
======================
Hello Mike,
USA Today article November 16, p. 3A, by Alan Levin, tells us everything we
need to know.
1. A sudden swing of the rudder, far beyond the normal range, caused the
It looks like Marion Blakey is complicit and whoever manages her.)
Then, exactly as in the EgyptAir crash, the voice recorder clicked off --
the evesdropping remote controller didn't need to hear any more and didn't
want us to hear any more. Both the planes power and the self-contained
battery gave out -- exactly as with the New York to Cairo Egypt Air flight
on 11/31/99.
Levin has more on this:
"Later in the recording, data about the rudder became 'unreliable,' Blakely
said, possibly indicating the moment when the tail shook loose. Shortly
afterward, an even more intense sideways movment was recorded. Within 2.5
seconds, the jet began spiraling to the left, and the recorder stopped...."
The "experts" claim some kind of metal fatigue on the "composite-materials"
alloy in the tail assembly, and so the Federal Aviation Administration will
now require new inspections to make sure that turbulence from nearby
Japanese flights will not tear off any more tails. [Yet, from another
article on the same page, we learn that the National Transporation Safety
Board doesn't know what it is talking about. " 'The board has no real
expert in composite materials,' says Greg Feith, a former NTSB investigator
who handled hundreds of of incidents and accidents during more than 20 years
with the safety board." And from an other article we learn that Marion
Blakey is now to her job, being "a career Washington bureaucrat and
lobbyist" (for whom?) she is getting her "on the job training" with total
authority of these critical investigations -- and newsgroup hecklers have
called you unqualified, Mike, when you were right all along about the
missile that brought down TWA ###. And little Marion gets closure and will
probaly have her story told in Readers Digest. The establishment gets
closure. The phantom saboteur remains scott free and unintimidated by Maion
Blakey. (Ever been in a bureaucracy with lots to hide, Mike? I have.)
Unwilling to draw the forbidden conclusion Blakey claims that the data
recorder simply does not indicate what caused the jet's tail to break apart
or the craft to suddenly enter a steep dive, or to send its engines flying
off. Yet isn't it obvious.
The phantom first started controlling the rudder, back and force, continuous
[Mike, I must say that Alan Levin is a fine reporter and it shows here --
he didn't contradict the unnamed source who was trying to plant spin -- but
he countered it with some objective reporting of his further investigative
digging. Cudos to him!]
NOW GET THIS --THE FROSTING ON THE CAKE:
Levin ends his story with this account of the history of another A300
episode with unaccountalbe rudder problems. Tell me if this doesn't sound
like a
test run of the saboteur's remote control-capture system:
"The rudder on an A300 owned by American Airlines moved several times during
a flight in 1999, causing the jet to move 'side to side' as it prepared to
land in Miami, according to a report by the NTSB. The rudder movements were
'extreme,' the report said, but the pilots landed safely....
"The NYSB has yet to determine what caused the rudder problem in 1999. It's
unclear whether such a malfunction could have caused the problem on Flight
587."
Come again? What malfunction? No malfunction has been identified, no
explanation given for either plane. All that this new information does is
discount the turbulence theory and the pilot error theory.
(I'm going to share our letters. Hope you do the same.)
You are the man who, by your example, showed me the possibilites of
newsgroups, a few years back and I have never thanked you.
With gratitude,

Item #1:
Excerpts from: 11/16 Bob Chapman - THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER 17, November
2001 (#3) <http://www.iiconf.com>.
This is a brilliant man and good, and his forecaster letter is like nothing
else around.
Excerpts:
- US MARKETS
The forces that unleashed our current situation have begun a chain reaction
that is going to be ongoing and get progressively worse. We have military
spread too thin all over the world. There's Europe, Afghanistan, Saudi
Arabia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Bosnia, S. Korea, etc. We have been sucked into a
religious war that is going to last for many years and cost millions of
lives. This new world police action will slowly become a world war. The
American people have no idea what they are being sucked into, that is
guerrilla warfare all over the world, which will take millions of America
servicemen and women into harms way. For the first time America is going to
have to deal with thousands of body bags filled with young women.
Washington, as usual, is doing exactly what it shouldn't be doing and that
is being lured into a world religious guerrilla war. The irony is that we'll
essentially be left to fight the war ourselves. England, Canada and Germany
have few troops to sen
Our government has a deliberate inability to communicate. Rather than tell
the truth regarding casualties in Afghanistan we are misled and put on a
need to know basis; the same obfuscation that we were exposed to in Bosnia.
The hiding of collateral damage. Our new found allies are Russians, a
dubious choice and the Chinese are supplying troops to the Taliban, but our
government and our media refuse to tell us that. How can China be a member
of the anti terrorism coalition and supply our enemy with help
simultaneously? China is playing a very dangerous deceitful game, but again
we don't have a need to know. The elitists are incredulous allowing China to
play this duplicitous game.
Our government has no intention of apprehending their agent Osama bin Laden
and if he is taken he'll be stone cold dead. They had several opportunities,
over the past few years, to capture him, but saw fit not to do so. As you
know he met with the CIA in Dubai last summer. Bin Laden's presence in
Afghanistan gives the elitists the excuse to be there to pursue their oil,
gas and drug ambitions. The whole thing is a charade. We'll have a UN
sponsored government there in a year. Then we expect the Palestinians and
Hezbollah are next. We also suspect they'll find a way to murder Prince
Abdullah in Saudi Arabia. We know it's disgusting, but that is our
government at work. As more information becomes available it will become
quite clear the elitists were behind the WTC and Pentagon events and many
within the government knew what was going on. All we can do is bide our
time.
The fable of the punctured bubble is nearing the end of its first of three
correctional phases. Having deliberately created the bubble Alan Greenspan,
the FED and the FOMC are in the process of trying to salvage an economy they
managed to ravage. They have had to cut interest rates 4.5%, from 6.5% to 2%
and pour aggregates in the economy. That includes MZM at 28% and M-3 at plus
14%, plus over a trillion pumped into the housing economy by Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac. In the process they have rigged every so-called free market and
arranged the same for every statistic coming from our government. Our
government and business has become a cabal of liars and thieves. Investing
in the stock market casino is over; we are headed back to true value. Mr.
Greenspan's discovery of value has as much validity as Columbus discovering
America. At the behest of his masters, Mr. Greenspan has created the
greatest boom-bust in recorded history and we are only one-third through the
carnage. The eliti fairness is dead. That is quite apparent to anyone with a
brain with the demise of the 30-year bond, because it was the antithesis of
the elitists' madness. You can't indefinitely steal from savers to save
debtors. It eliminates any economic future. It destroys the middle-class. We
recently had a hedge-fund manager ask, will we have inflation or deflation
and our answer is right now we don't know. There is a vast undertow of
deflation and at the same time a monumental increase in fiscal and monetary
aggregates. Either way gold, silver and platinum are going to increase in
value. Through inflation or in a flight to quality. The elitist crowd knows
this and they are desperately keeping the value of these metals suppressed,
but they can't succeed indefinitely. Even Alan Greenspan knows you can't, on
an annual basis, increase MZM and M-3 at rates of 20% and 15% respectively
indefinitely. They are well aware of the history of Weimer Germany. The
public has begun to make their financial history as the Darth Vader of our
time.

On of the basic causes of the failure of our social security system is
globalization. Three million jobs have been shipped out of the US over the
past seven years by transnational elitist corporations. These slave laborers
don't receive social security nor much else except a pitiful day's wages. It
is no wonder these international conglomerates want to move production to
the third world, no medical, no social security, no disability and no
environmental concerns. That means three million workers are not paying into
our system. That means we should have a tariff to cover those losses on the
goods made abroad by foreigners and shipped into our country. It is only
natural we are buying those goods.
We'd like to point out something regarding the death of the 30-year bond,
which is not yet apparent to most professionals, never mind the investing
public. That is, as the economic situation deteriorates and interest rates
bottom out, and no apparent recover is in sight, the US, the world's largest
debtor nation, will see a major exodus of foreign funds, which will cause
two reactions. One will be quickly climbing interest rates and even more
massive creation of monetary aggregates. We are still not near that event,
but it could begin by next June. We have already seen a great deal of
capital leave, but that is small compared to what we will see....
(jump)
Criminality marches on as Wall Street's Goldman Sachs confirmed to
authorities that it was tipped off about the Treasury decision to terminate
the 30-year bond. Goldman should reverse all trades that involved 30s from
the time they received the information until it was made officially public.
Furthermore they should have shut down transactions in 30s operations
pending the announcement. We expect a number of Wall Street bond firms
received illicit forewarning.
The elitists take care of their own and are ready and willing to engage in
cover-ups. Dynegy has agreed to acquire Enron for $8.85 billion in stock.
Earlier J. P. Morgan Chase and Citigroup had arranged financing for Enron.
Now, in a highly unusual move, these two investment banks, are interested in
putting $250 million each into Enron. This is even more out of character
when they are anxious to invest as credit agencies downgrade Enron's
long-term debt to junk. What we want to know is did Enron get the bulk of
its financing from leasing gold bullion and is that one of the reasons they
are being bailed out?
Banks have been handing out mortgage money like it was candy, but that may
be changing. New tighter guidelines have been issued that will make it
harder and more expensive for sub prime borrowers and consumers buying homes
valued in excess of $1 million. The brakes are being applied especially to
no-documentation loans for borrowers who now must be rated 660 or higher
rather than the previous 640. These ratings are issued by credit agencies.
660 is good, but not outstanding. Lenders have also raised minimum credit
scores for borrowers who are making down payments worth 10% of the loan
instead of the more traditional 20%. Some banks are already using 680 for
some loans without full documentation and for loans over $1.1 million. Banks
are doing their own comparables to now make sure appraisers are not over
appraising property. Home loans with down payments of less than 20% now make
up 25% of loans. There is now widespread concern that banks could get buried
in bad loans if the economy
(jump)
Under the new terribly misnamed Patriot Act if you throw a rock through a
window during a demonstration you are a terrorist. Law enforcement officials
can search the houses of citizens without notification, nor must they tell
the residents a warrant was executed. Contributing money to groups involved
in any kind of armed resistance against governments has become grounds for
deportation or stiff penalties. Our government, nor any free government,
cannot be trusted to not abuse its broad new powers in the guise of
combating terrorism. We have allowed Congress to create a monster, and the
law should be immediately changed.
In addition our president has signed an order that will allow the government
to try people in secret accused of terrorism in front of a special military
commission instead of a civilian court. We now live under perpetual martial
law, where military trials of "suspected" international terrorists and their
collaborators can bypass our criminal justice system, its rules of evidence
and its constitutional guarantees.
The increase in corporate bankruptcies, 212 as of 11/1/01, is outpacing last
year's 176. As a reflection of this for the first nine months of the year
corporate defaults were $60.1 billion, easily surpassing the $27.9 billion
figure for all of 2000.
Earnings at many companies are likely to get hit next year as pension costs
rise because of declining value of pension funds. During the bull market
company earnings were artificially inflated allowing smaller or no pension
contributions, which allowed those non-spent funds to fall to the bottom
line in earnings. As the market drops, so does the value of pension funds,
which means higher company contributions and lower earnings. This change
didn't show up in 2001 due to smoothing mechanisms, built into accounting
rules specifically to eliminate big ups and downs in earnings. This means
earnings will be hard hit over the next two years. If you are long stocks
you had best inquire what the effect will be on your particular investment.
A survey predicts that pension plan assets would decline 15% this year and
1/2% next year. Forty-nine companies in the S&P 500 would have 5% lower
earnings in 2002. Some could get hit by 10% such as, IBM, Dupont, SBC
Communications and GM. Keep this in m
Interest rates at 2% could fall to 1/2%. That drop would make bond prices go
higher. The problem is once at 1/2% rates have nowhere to go. They can't go
lower, so bonds can't go higher. Junk bonds are offering 13% returns
presently. That is 8.7% higher than the Treasury's 10-year note. If the
spread moves to 10.2% or a junk yield of 14 1/2%, that's the top. The yield
and the bond price either stays the same or more than likely the yield will
rise and the value of the bond will fall...

TERRORIST ACTS IN AMERICA TOOK PLACE AFTER
UNSUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH KABUL
This story is written in the book, which is now in stores of France. "Only
a month before the terror attack the American government had active contacts
with the Taliban. America wishes to get hold of Kazakhstan's rich oil
reserves and it hoped to build an oil pipeline for that via Afghanistan,
which is a neighbouring country to the republic of Kazakhstan. The failure
of negotiations is directly connected with the attacks on the WTC and the
Pentagon."
These words are taken from the book "Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth", which
was written by two French authors. It is written in the book that America's
largest oil corporations - which were closely linked with Bush's government,
were very active in the republic of Kazakhstan. But the oil pipelines are
controlled by Russians there. That is why the corporations had an eye on
Afghanistan. The negotiations with the Taliban actually started in February,
when George W. Bush took over as president. The Talibs were ready to conduct
negotiations to deliver Bin Laden and asked to acknowledge their regime on
the diplomatic level in return.
The negotiations were intensified in April. Most often, they were held in
Berlin and lasted till August 2 and the Americans were hoping to keep the
Taliban as the ruling movement in Afghanistan.
However, the atmosphere was getting worse during the negotiations. The
Americans did not get Bin Laden, because they did not realize, to what
extent Laden was connected with the Taliban. A UN spokesman, who was
involved in those negotiations, was conducting other negotiations
simultaneously with the former Afghani king. Taliban perceived it as
the conspiracy against them.
According to the authors of the book, the Americans made very serious
mistakes. They threatened the Taliban with violence, although at the same
time they did not seem to be determined to apply serious measures against
Bin Laden. They were well-aware of the fact that Bin Laden was connected
with the Saudi royal house and the American interests in Saudi Arabia were
more important to them. That is why nothing happened.

Item #3:
Sharon's Mideast War Drive
By Scott Thompson and Jeffrey Steinberg
On Oct. 30, 2001, Edgar Bronfman Sr. delivered a speech at the Jerusalem
Theater, opening the 11th Plenary Assembly of the World Jewish Congress, in
which he called, in effect, for a "Warsaw Ghetto" final solution to the
Israel-Palestine conflict. Using somewhat more discreet language, Bronfman
declared: "Settlements on the West Bank which cannot be defended should be
dismantled. The Intifada is going to stay, and we can negotiate endlessly
and get nowhere. If there is no peace, Israel should separate from the
Palestinians." He labeled the Israeli presence inside Gaza "a mistake," and,
according to the Oct. 31 Jerusalem Post, called for the construction of a
fence, surrounding a Palestinian territory, the size and shape to be
determined by Israel.
Bronfman insisted that Israel must say to the Palestinians: "Do what you
want to do, but don't cross the line." He concluded, if any suicide bombers
attack Israel, "we have the moral high ground, and we will devastate the
enemy."
Bronfman's call for unilateral separation--under conditions imposed
unilaterally by Israel--at the keynote plenary of the WJC assembly, signaled
that a drive is now underway to implement this proposal. It is a policy that
was widely circulated during the Summer, after Bush Administration pressure
had forced Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the hardliners inside the Israeli
Defense Force command to back down, for the time being, from their plans to
provoke a major escalation in violence, through a July 29, 2001 Temple Mount
Faithful assault on the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem.
At the time, Lyndon LaRouche had issued a prescient warning that the IDF
radicals were preparing to play the "Temple Mount card" to provoke a major
religious war in the Middle East--not on behalf of Israeli-based interests,
but on behalf of the Anglo-American faction pressing for a "Clash of
Civilizations" new Thirty Years War, to engulf all of the Eurasian region in
bloodshed and chaos. The provoking of such a Clash of Civilizations has been
the stated goal of Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samuel Huntington and Bernard Lewis
for years.
The unilateral separation scheme, dubbed by its proponents "a war and then a
wall," was surfaced on Aug. 10, 2001, in a Washington Post op-ed by Newsweek
magazine editor-in-chief Fareed Zakaria, who demanded that Israel initiate a
"unilateral separation." On Aug. 16, Washington Post columnist Charles
Krauthammer called for an Israeli invasion of the West Bank and Gaza "Area
A" territories, with the objective of wiping out the infrastructure of the
Palestinian Authority, seizing weapons caches and safe houses of Hamas and
Islamic Jihad--and then occupying the areas only long enough to construct a
high wall, permanently separating the Palestinian area from Israel.
The next day, Aug. 17, Washington Post syndicated columnist George Will, who
is also a member of the international editorial advisory board to the
Hollinger Corporation, spelled out the scheme in the most explicit detail,
in an Op-Ed titled "War and Then a Wall."
"A short war--a few days: over before European and American diplomats'
appeasement reflexes kick in--should have four main objectives," he wrote:
Kill or capture "the terrorists;" destroy the Palestinian Authority's
"military infrastructure;" destroy "other physical infrastructure useful to
the Palestinian Authority including all newspaper and broadcasting
facilities;" and then unilaterally define Israel's border by building a
wall. Will's map envisioned Israeli permanent annexation of all of
Jerusalem.
The same day that the Will column was published, in what appeared to be a
coordinated move, Ha'aretz announced that four Knesset members (MKs),
including new Cabinet Minister Dan Meridor, of the Center Party, announced
the launching of a non-partisan "new movement" to force unilateral
separation. The separation plan was drawn up, according to Ha'aretz, by
unnamed reserve IDF officers, and was presented to Prime Minister Sharon by
Trade and Industry Minister Dalia Itzik. The "electronic wall" envisioned in
the Meridor-Itzik plan (also endorsed by Likud Party MK Michael Eitan and
Labor Party MK Haim Ramon) incorporated Jerusalem and a 90-mile segment of
the West Bank in the permanently annexed Israeli territory.
Such a unilateral separation, whether it began with a massive IDF military
assault on the Palestinian Authority or not, would be a certain recipe for
Mideast War, a fact hardly lost on the authors of the scheme.
In short, Bronfman kicked off his last session as President of the World
Jewish Congress by demanding that Israel launch a new Mideast war--at the
very moment that the United States is preoccupied with an already
out-of-control war in Afghanistan and the ongoing irregular warfare assault
against the U.S.A. itself, which Lyndon LaRouche has identified as nothing
less than a coup d'etat, directed by a powerful "enemy within."
- The `New Sanhedrin' -
Bronfman's call for war was not just issued in his capacity as President of
the WJC. It was issued on behalf of the Mega Group, a super-secret,
by-invitation-only group of powerful American and Canadian
"mega-billionaires," who meet behind closed doors twice a year, to set the
overall policy for the "official" Israel Lobby in North America, and deploy
billions of dollars a year in "charitable" cash (see EIR Aug. 31, 2001,
"Israeli Spies: `Mega Was Not An Agent--Mega Was lthe Boss'").
Mega Group was launched in 1991 by Seagrams Corp. director Charles Bronfman
and Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner. Among the known charter members
were Edgar Bronfman Sr. (Charles' older brother and Seagrams co-chairman),
U.S. Healthcare founder Leonard Abramson, hedge fund manager and "New
Democrats" moneybags Charles Steinhardt, former Purple Gang rum runner-cum
oil tycoon Max Fisher, bagel magnate Max Lender, Baltimore real estate
developer Harvey "Bud" Meyerhoff, Tulsa investment broker Charles
Schusterman, and Loews Corp. chairman Laurence Tisch.
As EIR first reported Aug. 31, some Mega Group members are chary about
flaunting their power in public. Charles Bronfman told the Wall Street
Journal's Lisa Miller, "From the beginning, we didn't want to be seen as a
threat to anybody... We don't want to be seen as the Sanhedrin (the highest
court of the ancient Jews)."
Other charter members are less shy about promoting their power grab. On Nov.
6, 2000, Link magazine published an interview with Michael Steinhardt by
Michael Massing. Massing observed, "Michael Steinhardt likes to poke and
prod. In the world of Jewish philanthropy, he is known for speaking his
mind, and, when I dropped by his office, he did not disappoint." Massing
continued, "When asked about the current state of Jewish philanthropy,
Steinhardt ... declared, `I feel that the durability of some American
philanthropic organizations is far greater than is justified by their
effectiveness. It's a shame some of these organizations don't just go away.'
"Asked to be more specific," Massing continued, "he did not hesitate: `The
American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, the Anti-Defamation
League, and the Wiesenthal Center, which are all dedicated to defense, to
protection against anti-Semitism, to Holocaust memory, rather than to
addressing the needs of the next generation.'"
There may have been more method than madness to Steinhardt's frontal assault
against the biggest and most prominent of the American Jewish tax-exempt
charitable and educational agencies. On Feb. 17, 1999, Philanthropy News
Digest reported that the three largest Israeli fundraising organizations in
North America, the United Jewish Appeal, the Council of Jewish Federations,
and the United Israel Appeal, had merged into one single mega-charity,
called the United Jewish Communities. The first Chairman of the UJC, which
raised $1.9 billion the previous year, was Charles Bronfman, the co-founder
of Mega Group. When his term expired this year, he was succeeded by the son
of Laurence Tisch, another charter member of the Mega Group.
One of Mega Group's other power centers is the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Organizations, whose executive vice president, Malcolm
Hoenlein, has been a consultant on a number of Mega Group projects. The
just-retired President of the Conference, perfume magnate Ronald Lauder, has
not responded to calls from reporters asking whether he is a member of the
Mega Group. Lauder is one of the biggest financial boosters of both Ariel
Sharon and Sharon's Likud rival, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Mega Group members also dominate the board of trustees of the Washington
Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), the semi-official Israel Lobby think
tank in Washington, that has been aggressively pressing for an all-out war
against Iraq, as a cornerstone of any successful "war against terrorism."
WINEP founder Martin Indyk was one of the most important figures inside the
Clinton Administration, sabotaging the July 2000 Camp David summit between
then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Palestinian Authority President
Yasser Arafat, and President Bill Clinton.
The Mega members on the WINEP board included, as of 1999: Charles and Edgar
Bronfman, Max Fisher, Harvey Meyerhoff, Charles Schusterman (now deceased,
but apparently replaced in Mega by his wife Lynn), and Michael Steinhardt.
- A Deal With Sharon -
The last known meeting of the Mega Group occurred at the Manhattan mansion
of Edgar Bronfman on May 3-4, 2001. According to a few scant news accounts,
the Mega Group's ranks appear to have swelled from an initial core of 20
members--when it was formed in 1991 by the Bronfmans and Wexner--to nearly
50 super-rich activists today. EIR has so far been able to confirm the
identities of a dozen members of the Mega Group.
However, a review of published material, combined with interviews with
sources and with several Mega Group members and associates, provides a
damning picture of the group's activities in recent months, and confirms
that they are four-square in the camp of those pushing for a "Clash of
Civilizations."
Soon after he was sworn in as Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon held a
private meeting in Israel with Mega Group member Leonard Abramson.
At the meeeting, a scheme was hatched to launch a propaganda offensive on
behalf of the Israeli war hawks.
Back in the United States several days later, Abramson met with fellow-Mega
Group members Edgar Bronfmanand Michael Steinhardt, on Feb. 28, 2001. The
three men launched "Emet" (the Hebrew word for "truth"), as both a private
propaganda arm of the Prime Minister's office, and a recruiting operation
for a future generation of Israeli agents-of-influence (and possible spies)
inside the United States and Canada.
Michael Steinhardt told reporters Yoav Appel and Melissa Radler of the
Hollinger Corp.-owned, pro-Sharon Jerusalem Post, on March 2 that Emet is
"not public relations. It's more of a think-tank."
News reports had indicated that Abramson, Steinhardt and Bronfman had
committed $7 million to a start-up fund, that was to be bolstered by an
initial $1 million kick-in from the budget of the Israeli Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. Foreign Ministry mandarins, and perhaps Foreign Minister
Shimon Peres--a longtime advocate of a just peace with the Palestinians and
the Arabs--objected to the idea of a group of hawkish American Jews shaping
Israel's image abroad, and leaked details of the early Emet plans to Israel
Radio, claiming that the Israeli consul general in New York, Alon Pinkas,
was furious at the idea. In fact, Pinkas attended one of the first Emet
planning sessions in New York, and later the Foreign Ministry was forced to
issue a disclaimer about the Israel Radio report.
Such is the power of the Mega Group, with its extensive ties into the
English-speaking media. Not only is Mega Group co-founder Wexner a director
of the Hollinger Corp., owner of the Telegraph newspapers in Britain, the
Jerusalem Post, and the Chicago Sun Times (the Hollinger Corp. is run by
Bronfman-pal Conrad Black); but the Bronfman clan holds a major stake in
AOL/Time Warner, one of the biggest of the American media cartels.
On Aug. 17, 2001, the Jerusalem Post revealed another facet of the Mega
Group's "Emet" project: the recruitment and indoctrination of another
generation of North American "tsayonim," ("Israel's helpers," a technical
term for the recruitment of informal agents, first reported by former Mossad
officer and author Victor Ostrovsky). In July and August of this year, 40
college students from 27 campuses in the United States and Canada, spent
three weeks at the University of Tel Aviv, receiving training to serve as
"informal spokesmen" for the Sharon regime's policies, when they return for
their final years of school. The program, called EMET Fellows, also known as
Education for Middle East Truth, "is not a propaganda tool," Tel Aviv
University President and former diplomat Itamar Rabinovich protested, a bit
too much.
- Mega And The Evangelicals -
One of the biggest boosters of the Emet project is Zionist Organization of
America President Morton Klein, a certifiable rightwing war hawk, who has
also engaged in an intimate collaboration with "Christian Zionists" who are
unabashed proponents of a religious war in the Middle East.
While EIR has not been able to confirm directly that Klein's collusions with
the evangelicals is a sanctioned Mega project, the convergence of their
joint efforts with the known goals of the Mega-Sharon "propaganda offensive"
are highly suggestive of just such a link.
EIR first reported on Aug. 24, 2001 ("Temple Mount Fanatics Seek To
Blackmail Bush," by Anton Chaitkin), that on July 30--the day after Bush
Administration and other international pressure forced the cancellation of
Sharon's planned Temple Mount provocation in Jerusalem--Klein, Americans for
a Safe Israel founder Herb Zweibon, evangelical Religious Roundtable founder
Ed McAteer, Christian Friends of Israel leader Elwood McQuaide, and
representatives of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, held a meeting at the
White House with President Bush's religious community liason Tim Goeglein.
The delegation bluntly threatened President Bush, that if he did not give
Sharon an unequivocal "green light" to deal with the "Palestinian terrorist
threat," the combined wrath of the Zionist Lobby and the 70 million-strong
evangelical Christian voting bloc would destroy the Bush Presidency--just as
they destroyed George Bush, Sr.'s 1992 re-election efforts.
EIR confirmed from several participants in the White House session that the
entire group had been hosted by the Israeli Ambassador to the United States,
David Ivry, at a private embassy luncheon, just before they held their
"tough love" session with Goeglein.

Dick,
What I found interesting was the British press covering this video for a
week
before any U.S. news agencies did. One would think anything remotely like a
confession would be the straw to break all unpatriotic backs... instead, it
sits and stews for a week, with a couple of significant differentiations
from
previous communique.
The first is is the first he does anything but completely deny involvement,
the second is that is is the first his statements seem to come from a
first-person voice. the third is that it was released through a different
channel than all the others. I have the link somewhere that better qualifies
these differences. Combined with the blind eye the administration gave this
tells me something. Surely U.S. intelligence is more sophisticated than my
few national and international dailies I scan. They HAD to know about this
confession.
My suspicion is that we created that video to use to fortify our
anti-terrorism coalition, and we wanted to see how it flew in the oversea
press before mentioning it in even the minor way we did (a subheadline on
AOL). Now the prez can refer to it, triggering an almost subconscious memory
of this as what will no doubt be Prime Justification for the soon coming
analyses of this whole fiasco.
The last thought I have about it is why in the heck would such an admission
come at the time that it did? While losing battle lines one would want to do
little but provide the moral justification for the enemy. What would such a
motivation be? What seems more likely is that we did create this video, and
once we had disabled the known channels for bin Laden to refute it, we
launched it... quietly, as I said. I can see no other reason for bin Laden
to
lessen his stature is the Muslim world while apparently losing on the
battlefield as well.
I do recognize the conspiracy theory like nature of this thinking, and much
of what you share seems to fall into that category. Some seems damn near
irrefutable and logical. The problem is that we've moved, justifiably into a
time of having no reason to trust anything out of any politician's mouth.
This makes our job of being diligent with these stories all the harder,
while
all the more necessary.
I like, in particular, the 2 part piece you forwarded of yesterday, where
the
gentleman did not draw his conclusions, but asked to open a dialog. I feel
this is an important and necessary part for these stories to attain any
credulity. The photo of the burning tower mistakenly identified in your post
as already being on fire shoots your (and my... since I forwarded it) story
full of holes. It also didn't even support the bombing part of the
crash-bombing premise, as it was clearly higher than the 23rd floor. We need
to be more careful.
I am trying to keep an open (and sane) mind, and am asking you to be willing
to play the devil's advocate for your position as agressively, or more so,
as
you do for the party line.
My 2 cents.

WHAT MATTERS-26a --November 20, 2001
The War and Love's Nonviolent Victory -
A digest of 17 items about what is happening, of which three give hope.
____________________________
Dear list members,
In this two-part posting I want to bring home just how seriously the world
is now at war against itself. Yet I believe that a great people's movement
will win through for the certain, eventual overcoming of the debt money
beast. There is a digest of 17 items of information and news after this
introductory letter. Three give hope. The way to love's victory is through
what Mahatma Ghandi called Satyagraha (the power of truth) in non-violent
witness, as per the examples in items 1, 15 and 16.
Love's victory must come, or the suffering of the many martyrs for truth and
love through at least two thousand years has been in vain. An impossible
thought. Lord Krishna of Love, Gautama the Buddha, Jesus the Messiah,
Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King have set the standards for the
non-violent overcoming of false authority. It will be more difficult now
than it was for the 20th century Indian and civil rights liberation
movements. Reprisals will be more vicious. Disinformation more cunning.

"How much violence was there in Nazi Germany before the old Germany, the
center of theater, opera, philosophy, poetry, psychology, medicine, the
whole culture-how many incidents took place that were not coincidental
before it was called fascism? What were the transitions? How many people?
Was it when the first tailor disappeared? Or librarian? Or professor? Or
when the first press was closed or the first song eliminated or the first
poem? When the first poet mysteriously disappeared? Or when the first
political science teacher was killed coming home on his bike? How many
incidents happened there that were perfectly normal until people woke up and
said, *Hey, we're in a police state!'*"
Thus wrote the late Mae Brussell, who made a mark in the U.S. through her
exposure of how defected, top Nazi SS officers were key figures in shaping
the CIA. Item 3 in this digest is from the web site dedicated to her. It is
an excerpt from a book by Buckminster Fuller in which he reports on how
Afghanistan was defined as "the heart of the world's heartland" by an
adviser to the British government nearly a hundred years ago. The adviser,
Sir Halford Mackinder, was Britain's chief geo-strategist from the latter
Victorian period to 1930. It was his considered opinion that "Whoever
controls the Heartland, rules the world."
Items 4, 5 and 6 relate to the later day geo-strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski,
who was actively interested in Eurasia when he was the National Security
Advisor to President Carter. "Ever since the continents started interacting
politically, some five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of
world power," he writes in the preface to his book The Grand Chessboard,
published in 1997. "And the key to controlling the Central Asian republics
is Uzbekistan." Which just happens to be where U.S. troops were first
deployed for the long-planned October incursion into Afghanistan. Brzezinski
advises that "it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable
of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America."
Those pulling the strings to G8 leadership will have heeded the advice,
surely, and will have extraordinarily well convinced the leaders themselves
that their sole concern should be the capture of bin Laden and the well
being of the people that are being bombed into a peaceless state as he is
hunted down. Not a word about Afghanistan's geo-strategic value to the
capitalist "West" was said by Sweden's Prime Minister Göran Persson, for
example, when he won a comfortable vote from delegates at the Social
Democrat party conference two weeks ago for the continued, horrendous
bombing of Afghanistan. The oft-repeated word "terrorism", "terrorism",
"terrorism" and the naming of bin Laden as the arch-terrorist was enough to
rally the party to the US/UK led "war against terrorism". And it has been
about the same everywhere where the protection of our credit card, consumer
way of life appears to have blinkered appointed protectors from seeing much
beyond the media dazzle.
In recent e-mail correspondence, I much appreciated list member Cal Schindel
coming forward with a clear statement that it is the money system that is
the causal agent for "what happened in Germany and what is happening here
now" - *here* being for me the whole world. "The idea that money needs to be
held at some scarcity for it to work well is one of the fundamental issues,"
he writes. "The idea that money itself has to retain value is another
fundamental issue." I hope to be posting a fuller statement from Cal soon.
I think we also, incidentally, need to take note of the statement from list
member A.E. Lewis that "the U.S. is drifting - or perhaps not just
*drifting*, but actually motoring - toward a civil war." This was written in
his introduction to an article "Gun Groups See Steady Bleed Into Militia -
Domestic Unrest Still Growing In United States", by Bill White for
Pravda.ru, posted at http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/10/18/18529.html.

The good news is in item 15. The Rainforest Action Network reports that in
sixty communities and campuses across the U.S. people have taken action to
confront the Citigroup's role in financing global warming, forest
destruction and a host of other human rights violations. And in Holland a
campaign spearheaded by Milleudefense, Greenpeace Netherlands, and Sawit
Watch, a coalition of Indonesian NGOs, has led to the largest Dutch bank,
ABN AMRO, agreeing to cease funding extractive industries in primary and
high conservation value forest ecosystems. It is a small but significant
breakthrough, confirming the way of non-violent, even joyful confrontation
as the way we have to go to liberate the world from the corporate
capitalist, debt money beast. And we will do so.
Californian Teri Madsen writes in his letter to Senator Boxer, in item 1:
"The media blackout in this country cannot keep Truth from prevailing."
Peace activist Starhawk writes in her article Only Poetry Can Address Grief,
item 16, there is now nowhere to go, we stand our ground. "We don't have the
luxury of defraying action to a more favorable moment. We need the movement
to keep moving forward." That is the way it is in the poem that is lived
experience. One stands one ground in the move forward to freedom.

CALLING FOR A FULL CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION
T Madsen - dac...@earthlink.net - a resident of Los Angeles, CA, has
written the following powerful letter to California Senators Barbara Boxer
and Diane Feinstein, Congressman Henry Waxman and President Bush. If one in
ten thousand Americans wrote a letter like this to their political
representatives, what an impact that would have:
Dear Senator Boxer,
I've been deeply disturbed not only by the highly suspicious events
surrounding the tragedy of Sept. 11th, but long before - when we the people
were robbed of our Votes and our Voice in the coup d'etat, formerly known as
the Presidential election of 2000.
In summary, a few pieces of the puzzle surrounding the Tragedy on 9-11-2001:
('Global Hawk' remote flight control technology + CIA
foreknowledge/forewarning + insider trading + Elder Bush doing business with
bin Laden + repression of US Constitution and the Florida recount + the
Caspian Oil pipeline + "Hundred-Years War" + missing nuclear devices?!) =
Sufficiently suspect coincidences which warrant a Full Congressional
Investigation into wrong-doing which may lead to Impeachment of the Bush
administration.
Polls may show that the majority of Americans support the current U.S.
Senior Administration, polls which appear, from my own local community
interactions and worldwide contacts, to be grossly biased. The media
blackout in this country cannot keep Truth from prevailing. You cannot
ignore the passionate protests against the selective anti-terrorist actions
by the U.S. government, the dismantling of The Bill of Rights, or the
outrage at a stolen election. Myself and millions of like-minded, VOTING,
thinking, TAX PAYING, U.S. Citizens will fight to uphold the Original U.S.
Constitution and the good of Humanity.
This is an IMMEDIATE and URGENT CALL for a Congressional Investigation into
the competency of the US Executive Branch with respect to the events
surrounding the tragedy of September 11, 2001.
If in time there is no action on these matters, The People have the
prerogative to petition the World Court and will.
Sincerely,
Teri Madsen ___

NOAM CHOMSKY CALLS THE U.S. "THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ROGUE NATION"
American dissident and renowned scholar Prof Noam Chomsky is accusing the
U.S. "of being the world's biggest rogue state", and has declared that the
real terrorism is being perpetrated on the innocent people of Afghanistan.
He quotes UN figures that suggest that a million or two Afghans could perish
due to starvation induced by the US-led war against Osama bin Laden. And he
has linked Washington's present bombing campaigns in Afghanistan to its
other foreign policy quests including the anti-missile defence programme,
saying militarization of space and the assault on Afghanistan were part of a
hegemonistic design. Chomsky is also reported as saying that the United
States is "a leading terrorist country, which has borrowed its
anti-terrorism manual from the Nazis."

BUCKMINSTER FULLER REPORTS ON HOW AFGHANISTAN WAS DEFINED AS "THE HEART OF
THE WORLD'S HEARTLAND" BY AN ADVISER TO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT NEARLY A
HUNDRED YEARS AGO:
Sir Halford Mackinder was Britain's chief geographical advisor from the
latter Victorian period to 1930. Mackinder pointed out that the British
Empire was built on its mastery of the world's sea routes from the Orient to
Europe . . . . He showed the British that the railways were the
large-tonnage-capacity, previously seagoing, cargo carriers going up onto
the land . . . . Mackinder showed the British that the only economically
successful trans-Europe and Asia railroad route would have to be from France
to Constantinople and thence via Turkey and Iran to Kabul, Afghanistan, and
thence through the Khyber Pass, through Sinkiang and Inner Mongolia to
Shanghai, China, cutting shipping times down very much as compared with the
sea routes around Africa to the Orient. Mackinder's counsel was heeded by
the British.
Mackinder showed the British that Russia could, by taking Afghanistan and
Pakistan, reach the Persian Gulf and then come through the Indian Ocean to
intercept British cargo ships en route to the Orient. Mackinder identified
on the map what he called "the Heartland." The heart of Mackinder's
Heartland was Afghanistan, with its Khyber Pass leading to the east and its
ability to break through to the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. Mackinder
said, "Whoever controls the Heartland, rules the world." Afghanistan was
(and as yet is) the heart of the world's heartland . . . . Until the end of
World War II the British had kept the Afghanistan heartland well under
control. Then, after World War II, they let its militarily guaranteed
isolation greatly deteriorate. Meanwhile the Russians were busy giving
Afghanistan such "presents" as a first-class highway from Russia to Kabul.
The U.S.A. gave them naught.

ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI REVEALS U.S. STRATEGY FOR EURASIA IN 1997 BOOK
The very first words in the book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And
It's Geostrategic Imperatives by Zbigniew Brzezinski (Basic Books, 1997)
are: "Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some five
hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power." Eurasia is
all of the territory east of Germany and Poland, stretching all the way
through Russia and China to the Pacific Ocean. It includes the Middle East
and most of the Indian subcontinent. The key to controlling Eurasia, says
Brzezinski, is controlling the Central Asian Republics. And the key to
controlling the Central Asian republics is Uzbekistan. Thus, it comes as no
surprise that Uzbekistan was forcefully mentioned by President George W.
Bush in his address to a joint session of Congress just days after the
attacks of September 11 as the very first place that the U.S. military would
be deployed. As FTW [From The Wilderness] has documented in previous
stories, major deployments of U.S. and British forces had taken place before
the attacks. And the U.S. Army and the CIA had been active in Uzbekistan for
several years. There is now evidence that what the world is witnessing is a
cold and calculated war plan - at least four years in the making - and that,
from reading Brzezinski's own words about Pearl Harbor, the World Trade
Center attacks were just the trigger needed to set the final conquest in
motion . . . .
World events since the attacks of September 11, 2001 have not only been
predicted, but also planned, orchestrated and - as their architects would
like to believe - controlled. The current Central Asian war is not a
response to terrorism, nor is it a reaction to Islamic fundamentalism. It
is in fact, in the words of one of the most powerful men on the planet, the
beginning of a final conflict before total world domination by the United
States leads to the
dissolution of all national governments. This, says Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR) member and former Carter National Security Advisor, Zbigniew
Brzezinski, will lead to nation states being incorporated into a new world
order, controlled solely by economic interests as dictated by banks,
corporations and ruling elites concerned with the maintenance (by
manipulation and war) of their power. As a means of intimidation for the
unenlightened reader who happens upon this frightening plan - the plan of
the CFR - Brzezinski offers the alternative of a world in chaos unless the
U.S. controls the planet by whatever means are necessary and likely to
succeed.
. The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed a tectonic shift in
world affairs. For the first time ever, a non-Eurasian power has emerged not
only as a key arbiter of Eurasian power relations but also as the world's
paramount power. The defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union was the final
step in the rapid ascendance of a Western Hemisphere power, the United
States, as the sole and, indeed, the first truly global power. (p. xiii)
. But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges,
capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America. The
formulation of a comprehensive and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is
therefore the purpose of this book. (p. xiv) .

BRZEZINSKI BOASTS, SOVIET WAS TRAPPED INTO INVADING AFGHANISTAN
American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan
six months before the Soviet invasion on December 24, 1979. President Carter
's national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, admitted this in an
interview published in Le Nouvel Observateur (France) on January 15-21, 1998
(p. 76 - not included in overseas' edition). President Carter signed the
first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in
Kabul on July 3,1979. "And," says Brzezinski, "that very day, I wrote a
note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this
aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention." Asked if he
regretted what he had organised, Brzezinski replied, "Regret what? That
secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the
Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that
the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We
now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR
its Vietnam war. "

BRZEZHENSKI WRITES IN A 1975 REPORT ON THE GOVERNABILITY OF DEMOCRACIES:
We have come to recognize that there are potentially desirable limits to
economic growth. There are also potentially desirable limits to the
indefinite extension of political democracy . . . . A government which lacks
authority . . . . will have little ability, short of cataclysmic crisis, to
impose on its people the sacrifices which may be necessary.

WE NEED A COMMON ENEMY TO UNITE US, SAYS CONDOLEZZA RICE
Condolezza Rice, Bush's National Security Advisor, was in Houston to give a
speech in March of 2000. This was prior to Bush assuming the Presidency and
her assuming her new position in his administration. She had worked under
Bush Senior as head of Russian and East European Affairs. In the speech she
said: # "We need a common enemy to unite us." # "We need a new threat as a
marker to where we will lead." # "Separation of powers is a problem for
foreign policy." These statements were not in response to questions but were
in the body of her speech. Afterwards Rice was asked about America losing
its moral authority, which, the questioner believed, was the decisive factor
in the U.S. *victory* over the Soviet Union. Rice was visibly angered and
retorted, "We have other means of asserting our authority".

WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE DEPLORES BUSH'S CREEPING COUP D'ÉTAT
The White House has assumed vast new powers for internal repression,
establishing by executive order an Office of Homeland Security that is not
subject to either congressional oversight or any vote on the personnel
appointed to run it. An all-encompassing political police agency is coming
into being, through the passage of an "anti-terror" law that effectively
amalgamates the FBI and CIA and abolishes the longstanding separation
between overseas spying and domestic policing.
Side by side with the bombing of Afghanistan, the Bush administration has
declared that there is a second front in the war, the war at home. The
federal government issues vague and unsubstantiated *terror alerts*, which
fuel anxiety while providing no protection to the
public. Government spokesmen urge the population to get used to measures
like random police searches and roadblocks as a permanent feature of life.
National Guard troops patrol the airports, harbors, bridges, tunnels and
even the US Capitol.

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
They have the destructive power of an atomic bomb, but they can barely make
a dent in U.S. news coverage. I'm talking about the 15,000-pound bombs the
United States is using against Afghanistan this week. The so-called Daisy
Cutters, named BLU-82, are the world's biggest non-nuclear device. In many
places, the development received a 10-second mention on the evening news,
five or six items down in the program line-up . . . .AP describes
(http://commondreams.org/headlines01/1106-02.htm) the Blu-82, nicknamed *Big
Blue*, as being *as large as a Volkswagen beetle, but heavier*. Digging for
the less charming details, one finds that the bomb got its other name,
*Daisy Cutter*, because of the shape of the crater it leaves -and that it
has the ability to clear a 3-mile-long path. Dropped from huge transport
aircraft, *Big Blue* releases a cloud of inflammable ammonium nitrate,
aluminum dust, and polystyrene slurry, which is then ignited by a detonator.
The result is a firestorm that incinerates an area the size of five football
fields, consumes oxygen, and creates a shock-wave and vacuum pressure that
destroys the internal organs of anyone within range. "As you would expect,
they make a heck of a bang when they go off," General Peter Pace,
vice-chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff told a press conference.
"The intent is to kill people."

JUDICIAL WATCH STRONGLY CRITICIZES BUSH SR. FOR MAINTAINING LINKS WITH THE
BIN LADEN FAMILY THROUGH THE CARLYLE GROUP
Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and
prosecutes government corruption and abuse, reacted with disbelief to The
Wall Street Journal report . . . . that George H.W. Bush, the father of
President Bush, works for the bin Laden family business in Saudi Arabia
through the Carlyle Group, an international consulting firm [and major
armaments supplier]. Judicial Watch earlier this year had strongly
criticized President Bush's father's association with the Carlyle Group,
pointing out in a March 5 statement that it was a "conflict of interest
(which) could cause problems for America's foreign policy in Middle East and
Asia." Judicial Watch called for the senior Bush to resign from the firm
then. "This conflict of interest has now turned into a scandal. The idea of
the President's father, an ex-president himself, doing business with a
company under investigation by the FBI in the terror attacks of September 11
is horrible. President Bush should not ask, but demand, that his father pull
out of the Carlyle Group," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General
Counsel Larry Klayman.

OPERATION ENDURING AVARICE
The so-called economic stimulus package that passed the House last week
would have been scurrilous in times of prosperity. But in this time of
national crisis it is, quite simply, grotesque . . . . The House package is
little more than a rehashed corporate wish list, doling out $115 billion in
tax breaks to big business and the wealthiest taxpayers, and a comparatively
measly $14 billion to poor and moderate-income families in the form of tax
rebates and unemployment benefits. And while the tax cuts for the haves are
permanent, those for the have-nots are good for only one year . . . . All
you really need to know about the true nature of this bill can be found in a
largely unnoticed provision that makes permanent a gaping tax loophole that
was about to expire. It allows multinational corporations such as GE and
Ford to avoid paying taxes by shifting profits to their offshore
subsidiaries - but only if those profits remain overseas. Tell me, how
exactly is providing incentives to keep money out of our economy supposed to
stimulate our economy? . . . . The juiciest goodie in this box of corporate
bon-bons, the retroactive repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax,
will lead to $25 billion in instant corporate rebate checks to needy
companies such as IBM (slated to get $1.4 billion), GM ($833 million) and GE
($671 million). Of the $25 billion refund, over $6.3 billion will be given
to just 14 corporations. Not surprisingly, these 14 lucky winners have been
regular and generous political donors. Over the last 10 years, they've
poured almost $15 million in soft money into the national committees of both
parties. It turns out that may be the smartest investment they've ever made
. . . . Let history record that, after September 11, our leaders brought the
nation together and decided to fight the war on terrorism by making business
lunches fully tax-deductible and levying no taxes on corporate profits
patriotically funneled off shore. Call it Operation Enduring Avarice. It's
enough to put a lump in your throat.

THE COST OF THE AFGHANISTAN "CAMPAIGN"
I'm sitting here waving the American flag, secure in the knowledge that, by
the end of the day, the armed forces of my country will have squandered
another $150 million of the American people's money. So far the cost of the
campaign in Afghanistan to the American people has been $1.5 billion. The
score currently stands - US Department of Defense: $1.5 billion vs. The
Taliban: $38,000. And that is very typical of the wars we fight.
For that $38,000 worth of ammunition, they have been able to shoot down two
of these ultra-modern, sophisticated surveillance drones, which cost the US
taxpayers $10 million a piece. Or else they just came down because of
mechanical failure.

DID YOU KNOW AMERICA WAS CONVICTED FOR WAR CRIMES IN 1986?
In 1986 the World Court convicted America of being a war criminal for its
crimes committed in Nicaragua in '83 and '84. They insisted that America
face the music, and the American government refused. And the only reason
that no one could enforce the decision that the World Court came to is
because America is currently the foremost superpower in the world. If that
wasn't the case though, maybe America would have been bombed, and some of
the people in other countries would have felt that we deserved it, just like
many Americans now feel that it's unfortunate but necessary that innocent
Afghani civilians are killed in the current bombings if it means that maybe
bin Laden and the Taliban will be killed in the process. You can find out
more about America being convicted by the World Court for its war crimes in

THIS OTHER REALITY IS BEING LOST IN THE HAZE OF WAR-RELATED NEWS
The view from space of Earth is becoming marred by smoke and dust as
environmental destruction grows increasingly visible, the commander of the
International Space Station said. US astronaut Frank Culbertson told the BBC
that the view had changed markedly since his first space mission in 1990.
"There is smoke and dust in wider spread areas than we have seen before,
particularly as areas like Africa dry up in certain regions," he said. "I
have seen changes in what comes out of some of the rivers, in land usage. We
see areas of the world that are being burned to clear land, so we are losing
lots of trees." . . . . Mr Culbertson has piloted space shuttle missions in
1990 and 1993.

A BREAKTHROUGH FOR THE RAINFOREST NETWORK
On Nov 7th in over 60 communities and campuses across the U.S. people took
action to confront Citigroup's role in financing global warming, forest
destruction and a host of other human rights violations. With actions
ranging from credit card cut ups, to consciousness raising tables, to
demonstrations and symbolic deliveries Citigroup got the message across the
country that we will no longer tolerate them funding destruction. Meanwhile
on the other side of the Atlantic our allies scored a major victory that
will send ripples through the world of finance. ABN AMRO, the largest
Dutch bank and a lead investor in fossil fuels and logging operations, made
an historic commitment to cease funding extractive industries in primary and
high conservation value forest ecosystems. This pledge comes at the end of a
campaign spearheaded by Milleudefense, Greenpeace Netherlands, and Sawit
Watch, a coalition of Indonesian NGOs. . . . Send the strongest message
possible to Citibank! Cut up your credit card! Send the letter available to
Citibank along with your cut-up credit card!

WE HAVE NOWHERE TO GO, WE STAND OUR GROUND - STARHAWK
In the middle of the Anti-Capitalist Convergence march in Washington DC last
month, I found myself nose to nose with a line of police attempting to push
the crowd back. I was facing an angry but very short policewoman so in my
case it was actually nightstick to bosom. "Get back, get back!" she was
shouting, but our line was not giving ground. I explained to her, calmly
and I thought, quite reasonably, that we were not going to get back, because
there was nowhere for us to go. I think of that moment now as a metaphor for
where what I like to call the Global Justice movement is today. We are
facing an array of forces telling us to get back, to disperse, to leave the
scene. The forces of the state, the media, all the powers that support
global corporate capitalism would like to see us go away.
But we have nowhere to go.
We have nowhere to go because the conditions we have been fighting have not
gone away. The disparity between rich and poor has not grown less, the
attempts of the corporate powers to consolidate their hegemony have not
ceased, the environment has not miraculously repaired itself, and our
economic and social systems have not suddenly become sustainable. We're on
the Titanic; our efforts to turn the course of the ship have just been
hijacked, and we're churning full steam ahead into the iceberg.
We don't have the luxury of defraying action to a more favorable moment. We
need the movement to keep moving forward.

CORPORATION EXECUTIVE S' GUILT IN WTC DESTRUCTION (destruction of evidence
the certain motive)
--------------
Please do not miss the life and death
relevance of this information.
I want you to provide me with lists of names I can contact in government
and elsewhere around the world. I also want you to work by your own
avenues to get to any officials or law enforcement agencies with
jurisdiction in this case. A war and the greatest crime in history are
involved, and many of the people responsible are standing in the way of
justice.
Here is evidence supplied by the Head of Security of the WTC on network
television indicating that the FBI floors (the 22nd, 23rd and 24th floors)
of the North Tower -- 70 floors below the crashbombing impact -- had been
devestated and reduced to debris that this same Head of Security himself
dug through to get to trapped persons (whom he saved). But it was on
these floors that the entire accumulation of evidence and investigation
briefs on two highly important cases
were being stored: 1) the case against Mobil Oil and James Giffen on
illegal oil swaps between Iran and Kazakhstan (at that time before a New
York grand jury as described in great detail by Seymore Hersh in the July 9
New Yorker magazine); and, even more important, the evidence in the
investigation of gold price fixing stemming from charges brought against
Alan Greenspan, Morgan & Comapy, Goldman Sachs. (see below for full
reconstruction of this crime -- that is now all but confirmed by this
revelation of a bomb devestating the FBI floors of the North Tower before
the tower collapsed.)
---------------------
At noon I received a phone call from New England from Steve. He was
reviewing recorded footage of coverage of the destruction of the WTC on
NBC's program "48 Hours."
Steve has reviewed the footage many times and taken detailed notes.
I took notes at my computer as he spoke.
After the south tower collapsed, men went up to the 22nd floor
of the WTC and "dug" someone out of the "rubble" he
found there. {It is known that these floors contained the New York
FBI offices -- Peter Jennings actually did a two-day network news
story on the effects of the destroyed evidence and files on American
financial crime investigations around the world.]
-----
The 48 Hours anchor was interviewing the Head of Security of the WTC about
the evacuation who had received a call, after the South tower was down, from
the Port Authority's Command Center on the 22nd floor asking for rescue.
The Head of Security himself travelled to that floor in the company of a NY
Fireman where they found the offices devestated to the point where they had
to "tunnel through debris" to "dig out" the two or three Port Authority
workers who were trapped there.

multi-trillion-dollar money-laundered drug revenue deposits
backing the global investments of American and Britsih elite
finance. The Afgan Northern Alliance druglords grow 70
to 90 percent of the worlds opium, the prime ingredient of
heroin The opium which is moved across the small
China-Afgan boarder for processing and distribution by the
giant People's Liberation Army, that amazing
transnational corporation, Triad drug cartel-and military
super military establishment all in one. Against the tremendous-
stake interests this giant outlaw network, the morally
conservative Taliban had been erradicating Afgan opium production,
supressing supply to druglords and the drug-revenue flow money-
laundering establishment bankers and global investors alike.
Thus "crisis" became the initial motivation of a renegade group of CIA
and/or Mossad in seeking ways to defeat Afganistan's Talibanist government.
(Nothing absurd so far, right?)
Next, the Russian and Kazakh mafias have criminal ties to U.S. executive
James Giffen in Kazakhstan -- a man under investigation by a New York
grand jury in the months before September 11
for illegal involvement in an oil swaps between Kazakhstan
and (sanctioned) Iran (source: the Aug. 9 New Yorker Magazine
for a full account of this by Seymore Hershe -- and all of the
evidence for this crime was being kept at the WTC on the 20th through
25th floor of one of the twin towers where the FBI had its
New York Offices. And James Giffen is the key man everyone has
to go through to get any oil agreement with Kazakhstan --
including any pipelines built that would traverse Afganistan.
(There is $6 trillion dollars worth of oil and gas in Central Asia.)
Giffen certainly understood -- if he did not originate the idea --
that if he couldcan get operatives (even "captured" vengeful Islamic
activists whose rage could be shaped and directed to use of terror)
to destroy the FBI offices in the WTC building and the documentation
evidence it contained, then he would be escape grand jury indictment
-- and, as an powerful added benefit, the (framed) Taliban would get
replaced with a regime in Afganistan that would permit a pipeline to be
built -- preferably a Northern Alliance druglord government that would
harmonize with Giffen's own unethical (murderous) entrepreneural style.
(See the New Yorker artlical for details of Giffen's history.)
(So far this super-crime scheme involves only a small group of people--
Russian Mafia and perhaps a Giffen - renegade CIA or a Giffen
"dark-side" Mossad link. But other, even more powerful players
may have had involvement -- certainly they stood to gain
tremendously if the crashbomb frame-up were successfully accomplished.
(Prior to September 11 charges had been brought against
Alan Greenspan (forgive me -- in a previous post I said "Milton Friedman"
instead of Greenspan -- Friedman is a great and honest and honorable
academic scholar and Nobel Prize winner -- who, very superficially,
looks like Greenspan)
-- at any rate, Alan Greenspan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan & Co. and other
But then what?
Now, let's discuss this intelligently.

Dick,
One of the nice things about owning a music company is having access to
some audio tools.
After the first pass looking at this with an audio spectrum analyzer, I do
not find anything that suggests this is a fake. That doesn't prove it isn't
a fake,
only that it would have to be a very skillfully done one.
Still, I am interested in pursuing this to see where it came from.

Letter from Brazil:
Dick Eastman - Greetings.
An acquaintance copied me your article "WTC Frame-up Psy-op Case
Solved".
Very interesting and it makes a lot of sense.
September 11 plus - things just don't match. Nothing jives
It takes a lot of time, preparation, planning, money, logistics,
strategy and people to carry out an operation of that magnitude.
To guarantee success you also need operatives on the ground and in the
US.
It is unconceivable that anyone could mastermind and execute such an
operation without the CIA, FBI, MI5, MI6, Mossad, Surété or the Germans
getting wind that something is up.
The same goes for Antraz.
It is incredible that 50 days on, nothing has been directly pin-pointed
at bin Laden, nobody has been identified in the US or elsewhere connected
with the WTC operation and nobody has been identified or charged connected
with Anthraz.
Veeeeeeeeerrrryyy strange.

ABC NEWS : American Joint Cheif of Staffs made
plans to blow up U.S. civilian planes and sea craft to frame Cuba
and provoke war
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/jointchiefs_010501.html
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders drafted plans [called
OPERATION NORTHWOODS] to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism
in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Including
bombing U.S. Civilian planes and boats, then blame it on the Cubans in order
to justify a war.
The document, "Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba," was
provided by the JCS to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13,
1962, as the key component of Northwoods. Written in response to a request
from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the Top Secret
memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts that
would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba.

From: [USA]
Something that has been eating on me, considering what has happened, both on
9-11 and since and especially the anti-Constitutional laws and statements by
government officials, is the question, has there been a coup?
AG Ashcroft began by opposing the anti-Constitutional gun laws and from all
indications a strong proponent of the Constitution. Now he is on TV
proclaiming the Constitution and laws mean nothing and that the government
is going to do as it wishes regardless of the Constitution and laws. He
never appears to be a happy camper and everything he says is a
contradiction, from telling Congress the new laws was needed by the end of
the week then stating they would not have helped stop the terrorist attack.
Something is wrong!
The FBI was making the statements that it was getting close to wrapping up
the investigation in relation to who was involved and the government closes
their investigation. Why would government officials not want the information
and proof of who is/was involved?
The media at the time of WTC was stating there was approx 50,000 employees
in each building and that there are approx 80,000 visitors each day. Add the
people in the below ground shopping center, under the WTC, and the subway
and we have numbers close to 200,000 and only approx 6,000 died. This is a
red flag if the statements were accurate.
The media reported several times the Anthrax came from a government lab in
Ohio.
The media and government officials has talked of this being weapons grade.
The media and officials stated this could only come from three governments,
US, Russia, and Iraq.
The media and officials have stated the additive has the signature of Iraq.
The media has pointed out US Intel had prior knowledge of the WTC attack.
UN Inspectors stated Iraq's capabilities were destroyed and did not have the
equipment nor money to reopen their biological labs.
Consider David Shippers and the FBI agents statements, as well as the Head
of Security's for the WTC and his incident and statements concerning the
explosions on the 22, 23 and 24 floors.
Then the media and officials state they do not believe the Anthrax is
related to WTC terrorist and believes it is perpetrated by domestic
terrorist. This does not make sense! It goes against all the experts
testimony and statements!
Those in the patriot movement during Papa Bush's regime remembers during the
Rodney King affair Papa wanted to declare martial law on the nation and that
he backed off after a number of officials stated he would be arrested if he
did declare martial law nationally.
The first thing Baby Bush did was bring back all his papa's old cronies. He
has instituted a state of national emergency and most of the Congress has
been sent to the hills by the Anthrax scare.
As I understand it, under the state of national emergency, these new
Constitution raping laws are not needed for the crisis so why pass them.
Why is the public feed a steady diet of new 'threats and alerts' by the
government when all the attacks has been against the government and media?
The only answer that makes any sense is there has been a coup or takeover of
the government by persons or governments unknown.
The hard questions are; has this happened and, if so, what will we do about
it?

Leading British Foreign Correspondent: 'THIS WAR IS A FRAUD'
October 29, 2001
-------------------------------------------------------
HIDDEN AGENDA BEHIND WAR ON TERROR
By John Pilger, Former Mirror Chief Foreign Correspondent
The war against terrorism is a fraud. After three weeks' bombing, not a
single terrorist implicated in the attacks on America has been caught or
killed in Afghanistan.
Instead, one of the poorest, most stricken nations has been terrorised by
the most powerful - to the point where American pilots have run out of
dubious "military" targets and are now destroying mud houses, a hospital,
Red Cross warehouses, lorries carrying refugees.
Unlike the relentless pictures from New York, we are seeing almost nothing
of this. Tony Blair has yet to tell us what the violent death of children -
seven in one family - has to do with Osama bin Laden.
And why are cluster bombs being used? The British public should know about
these bombs, which the RAF also uses. They spray hundreds of bomblets that
have only one purpose; to kill and maim people. Those that do not explode
lie on the ground like landmines, waiting for people to step on them.
If ever a weapon was designed specifically for acts of terrorism, this is
it. I have seen the victims of American cluster weapons in other countries,
such as the Laotian toddler who picked one up and had her right leg and face
blown off. Be assured this is now happening> in Afghanistan, in your name.
None of those directly involved in the September 11 atrocity was Afghani.
Most were Saudis, who apparently did their planning and training in Germany
and the United States.
The camps which the Taliban allowed bin Laden to use were emptied weeks
ago. Moreover, the Taliban itself is a creation of the Americans and the
British. In the 1980s, the tribal army that produced them was funded by the
CIA and trained by the SAS to fight the Russians.
The hypocrisy does not stop there. When the Taliban took Kabul in 1996,
Washington said nothing. Why? Because Taliban leaders were soon on their way
to Houston, Texas, to be entertained by executives of the oil company,
Unocal.
With secret US government approval, the company offered them a generous cut
of the profits of the oil and gas pumped through a pipeline that the
Americans wanted to build from Soviet central Asia through Afghanistan.
A US diplomat said: "The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis did."
He explained that Afghanistan would become an American oil colony, there
would be huge profits for the West, no democracy and the legal persecution
of women. "We can live with that," he said.
Although the deal fell through, it remains an urgent priority of the
administration of George W. Bush, which is steeped in the oil industry.
Bush's concealed agenda is to exploit the oil and gas reserves in the
Caspian basin, the greatest source of untapped fossil fuel on earth and
enough, according to one estimate, to meet America's voracious energy needs
for a generation. Only if the pipeline runs through Afghanistan can the
Americans hope to control it.
So, not surprisingly, US Secretary of State Colin Powell is now referring to
"moderate" Taliban, who will join an American-sponsored "loose federation"
to run Afghanistan. The "war on terrorism" is a cover for this: a means of
achieving American strategic aims that lie behind the flag-waving facade of
great power.
The Royal Marines, who will do the real dirty work, will be little more
than mercenaries for Washington's imperial ambitions, not to mention the
extraordinary pretensions of Blair himself. Having made Britain a target for
terrorism with his bellicose "shoulder to shoulder" with Bush nonsense, he
is now prepared to send troops to a battlefield where the goals are so
uncertain that even the Chief of the Defence Staff says the conflict "could
last 50 years".
The irresponsibility of this is breathtaking; the pressure on Pakistan
alone could ignite an unprecedented crisis across the Indian sub-continent.
Having reported many wars, I am always struck by the absurdity of effete
politicians eager to wave farewell to young soldiers, but who themselves
would not say boo to a Taliban goose.
In the days of gunboats, our imperial leaders covered their violence in the
"morality" of their actions. Blair is no different. Like them, his selective
moralising omits the most basic truth. Nothing justified the killing of
innocent people in America on September 11, and nothing justifies the
killing of innocent people anywhere else.
By killing innocents in Afghanistan, Blair and Bush stoop to the level of
the criminal outrage in New York. Once you cluster bomb, "mistakes" and
"blunders" are a pretence. Murder is murder, regardless of whether you crash
a plane into a building or order and collude with it from the Oval Office
and Downing Street.
If Blair was really opposed to all forms of terrorism, he would get Britain
out of the arms trade. On the day of the twin towers attack, an "arms fair",
selling weapons of terror (like cluster bombs and missiles) to assorted
tyrants and human rights abusers, opened in London's Docklands with the full
backing of the Blair government.
Britain's biggest arms customer is the medieval Saudi regime, which beheads
heretics and spawned the religious fanaticism> of the Taliban.> If he realy
wanted to demonstrate "the moral fibre of Britain", Blair would do
everything in his power to lift the threat of violence in those parts of the
world where there is great and justifiable grievance and anger.
He would do more than make gestures; he would demand that Israel ends its
illegal occupation of Palestine and withdraw to its borders prior to the
1967 war, as ordered by the Security Council, of which Britain is a
permanent member. He would call for an end to the genocidal blockade which
the UN - in reality, America and Britain - has imposed on the suffering
people of Iraq for more than a decade, causing the deaths of half a million
children under the age of five.
That's more deaths of infants every month than the number killed in the
World Trade Center.
There are signs that Washington is about to extend its current "war" to
Iraq; yet unknown to most of us, almost every day RAF and American aircraft
already bomb Iraq. There are no headlines. There is nothing on the TV news.
This terror is the longest-running Anglo-American bombing campaign since
World War Two.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the US and Britain faced a "dilemma"
in Iraq, because "few targets remain". "We're down to the last outhouse,"
said a US official. That was two years ago, and they're still bombing. The
cost to the British taxpayer? £800 million so far.
According to an internal UN report, covering a five-month period, 41 per
cent of the casualties are civilians. In northern Iraq, I met a woman whose
husband and four children were among the deaths listed in the report. He was
a shepherd, who was tending his sheep with his elderly father and his
children when two planes attacked them, each making a sweep. It was an open
valley; there were no military targets nearby.
I want to see the pilot who did this," said the widow at the graveside of
her entire family. For them, there was no service in St Paul's Cathedral
with the Queen in attendance; no rock concert with Paul McCartney.
The tragedy of the Iraqis, and the Palestinians, and the Afghanis is a truth
that is the very opposite of their caricatures in much of the Western media.
Far from being the terrorists of the world, the overwhelming majority of the
Islamic peoples of the Middle East and south Asia have been its victims -
victims largely of the West's exploitation of precious natural resources in
or near their countries.
There is no war on terrorism. If there was, the Royal Marines and the SAS
would be storming the beaches of Florida, where more CIA-funded terrorists,
ex-Latin American dictators and torturers, are given refuge than anywhere on
earth. There is, however, a continuing war of the powerful against the
powerless, with new excuses, new hidden agendas, new lies. Before another
child dies violently, or quietly from starvation, before new fanatics are
created in both the east and the west, it is time for the people of Britain
to make their voices heard and to stop this fraudulent war - and to demand
the kind of bold, imaginative non-violent initiatives that require real
political courage.
The other day, the parents of Greg Rodriguez, a young man who died in the
World Trade Center, said this: "We read enough of the news to sense that our
government is heading in the direction of violent revenge, with the prospect
of sons, daughters, parents, friends in distant lands dying, suffering, and
nursing further grievances against us. "It is not the way to go...not in our
son's name."

Dick ... I've been following the capability and uses of the E-6 for a
while.
It is especially highlighted in the military's plans for electronic
OFFENSIVE
warfare in future and current emerging operations. ....... Some of the
psyops
that I have mentioned to you that I have been studying (but, haven't
detailed) could well be effected by the E-6. Those psyops have continued at
various intensities from the period during the Clinton administration to now
through Bush's. My last observation of it's appearance in local broadcast
media was last night.. The loss of the Navy's plane on our west coast near
Forks a few days back also was from this same Navy specialization, I think.
The offensive capabilities of the E-6 are amazing: they includes not only
blocking broadcast signals, but replacing them, with some of it capable of
being replaced in real time/instant insertion of messages -- either by
theme,
direct processes, or subliminal or hidden insertions.
On your several excellent postings on 'no hijackers', I had been thinking
along those lines too, especially after being reminded of the advances in
remote piloting. The senior flight attendant that called into her base
giving
seat numbers of the hijackers that were different from those officially
announced, also stands out.
On Egypt Air 900, I was active in several newsgroups that dealt with that
early on. The most telling piece of that event for me was the TWO
unscheduled
landings it had and the unusually elite passenger list that included
Egyptian
military leadership. It not only stopped at Vandenberg AFB and took on
passengers, but it was also reported on EARLY national broadcast news, that
it made another unscheduled stop prior to NYC. That stop, which was later
mentioned as a mistake and resulting from confusion of airport city codes,
quickly becoming vanished and non-history. That second stop was Andrews AFB.
........... While the official story of suicide actions by the copilot
always
felt fictional, your suggestion that it could have been a rehersal/actual
use
of remote piloting/hijacking, is most instructive.

World Trade Center
Sat, 3 Nov 2001 17:05:54 -0600
So just who WAS on those aircraft?
The government could point their finger at any one of us next!!
In the rush to sell an invasion of Afghanistan, our government and media
have
been waving a bunch of middle eastern faces at us on the TV; photos of the
dangerous hijackers who ploughed their stolen aircraft into the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon. Flight 93 was supposedly flown by Captain Saeed
al-Ghamdi and a second hijacker named Bukhari, while Abdulrahman al-Omari
was supposed to be at the controls of flight 11. Going from these suspects,
links are being created to point the finger of blame at various targets,
including but not limited to Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, etc. Ah, but the
best laid plans gang aft aglay and there's a problem! Mr. al-Omari, a
pilot with Saudi Airlines, just walked into the US embassy in Jeddah
to demand why he was being reported as a dead hijacker in the American
media. Likewise Mr. al-Ghamdi is still alive and well and at his job for
Tunis Air, while Mr. Bukhari has been dead for two years now, according
to the Saudi Gazette in a story dated September 18th, 2001.
In a recent development, the BBC is reporting that the transcript of a phone
call made by Flight Attendant Madeline Amy Sweeney to Boston air traffic
controls shows that the flight attendant gave the seat numbers occupied by
the hijackers, seat numbers which were NOT the seats of the men the FBI
claimed were responsible for the hijacking!
Even CNN is now reporting that the men who hijacked those aircraft were
using phony IDs, using the names of real people still living in Arab nations
in the middle east.
So, one fact is now apparent. If those who hijacked those airplanes were
using
stolen identities, then we don't know who they were or who they worked for.
We can't. It's impossible.
Now, people who are intending to commit suicide normally don't worry about
whether anyone knows their real name, and it is here that some other odd
aspects of this case take on a new meaning.
We are told that the group that planned and carried out the hijackings and
subsequent attack on the World Trade Towers were highly trained (possibly
by the CIA) experts, with knowledge of how to steal identities, forge fake
IDs, and compromise White House and Air Force One security codes.
Yet at the same time, we are being told that these same hijackers spent the
night before the attack getting drunk in bars, making noise, screaming
insults
at the "infidels", and doing everything they could to attract attention to
themselves. They used the credit cards issued in their stolen names, allowed
their driver's licenses with the stolen names to be photocopied, and used
public library computers to send emails back and forth using their stolen
names signed to unencrypted messages about their plans to steal aircraft
and crash them into buildings, then decorated their apartments with
absurdly obvious props such as a crop dusting manual to the point where
the whole affair reads like a low budget "B" detective movie from the 1930s.
In short, these men did everything they could to make sure everyone knew
who they were, or more to the point, who they were pretending to be.
Because the IDs used by the hijackers were phony, we cannot know who
they really were or who they really worked for. But what is apparent is that
those who planned the hijackings and the attacks on the World Trade Towers
went out of their way to leave plenty of clues pointing to citizens of Arab
nations of the middle east.

The Crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in Queens
Hard Scientific Evidence Proves United States Government Desperately Trying
to Mislead the American Public
Joe Vialls - 14 November 2001
The author is a former member of the Society of Aeronautical Engineers and
Technologists, London
With the American Government frantically trying to halt the slide in US
stocks and shares brought about by the events of September 11, the last
thing it needed was a large Airbus A300-600 crashing into a New York suburb.
Unfortunately, shrill government lies combined with predictably hysterical
media hype, fly in the face of hard physical evidence available on the day:
crucial evidence which proves exactly how the Airbus initially lost control
after the take-off roll from John F. Kennedy airport.
Within hours of the crash, the US Army lifted the entire vertical stabilizer
of the doomed Airbus out of Jamaica Bay, at a location halfway between JFK
and the primary crash scene at Rockaway Beach, shown on the photos and
diagrams at the top of this page. For those not familiar with technical
jargon, the vertical stabilizer is the big upright piece that sticks up at
the back of the aircraft and carries the airline logo. The fact that the
entire vertical stabilizer separated from the fuselage is news enough,
because such an event is almost without precedence in modern aviation.
Aircraft have lost rudders in the past (the bit at the rear of the vertical
stabilizer that moves left and right), and from time to time have lost a
"piece" from the top of the vertical stabilizer due to an air strikes by a
large bird, or a mid-air collision with another aircraft. But the entire
vertical stabilizer? Never, so far as I know.
Put simply, any aircraft other than a highly-specialized "flying wing" that
loses its vertical stabilizer is going to crash, because there is absolutely
no way the pilot can control it. The vertical stabilizer is the only part
of the aircraft which provides lateral stability, meaning the split-second
it separates from the fuselage, the aircraft is free to fishtail to the left
or right in a completely uncontrollable manner. For example. if you apply
more power to the left engine than the right engine, the aircraft will
attempt to make a flat turn to the right. If you try to lower the left or
right wing, perhaps in an attempt to return to the airport, the aircraft
will sideslip into a fatal dive. The only way out of the situation is by
ejector seat, unfortunately not fitted to American Airlines Flight 587.
Claims of onlookers on the ground that "an engine came off" just before the
aircraft crashed at Rockaway Beach, are entirely believable. By the time
Flight 587 reached Rockaway it was completely out of control, subject to
almost unbelievably high lateral sheer stresses (whiplash), because the
vertical stabilizer was two miles behind the aircraft, back in Jamaica Bay.
This whiplash effect with the aircraft in a steep uncontrolled dive, would
certainly have been sufficient to shed one or both of the engine pods.
The wreckage at the primary crash site also confirms the cause of the crash.
It was from here that investigators recovered both engines, and both black
box recorders. The latter are positioned in the tail of the Airbus A300,
meaning that the entire fuselage traveled as far as Rockaway Beach. The
aircraft did not (as some media would have you believe) somehow "break in
half" before it crashed.
More interesting than these indisputable facts, are the US Government's
actual reasons for denying the public the truth. After all, the NTSC and
FAA knew all about the vertical stabilizer in Jamaica Bay at least an hour
before I did, and promptly had it recovered by the US Army. Exactly where
the Army took it thereafter is not yet clear, but pictures of this critical
artifact are now very hard to find, and I am indebted to Steve Seymour for
the one below.
What the picture shows very clearly, is that this is not a "piece" of the
vertical stabilizer, but all of it, which you can confirm for yourselves by
peering at the Airbus A300 thumbnails on the left and right. Flight 587's
stabilizer looks a lot skinnier than the ones on the thumbnails, but this is
to be expected because, as previously stated, the moveable rudder at the
rear of the stabilizer is missing. Nothing unusual about that, the rudder
is relatively lightweight, and its pieces are probably scattered around
widely in Jamaica Bay.
What cannot be explained away by the NTSB or FAA is how or why the
stabilizer parted company with the aircraft at precisely the point where it
joins the fuselage proper. Look at the enlarged photograph very carefully.
There are absolutely no dents, scratches, on the leading edge or on the
panels. This proves the vertical stabilizer was not struck by any other
object, in turn proving it was the first component to detach from the
aircraft. Trickier still for the NTSB, FAA and Airbus Industries, will be
explaining to the general public why, with prima facie evidence proving
catastrophic separation along a critical attachment line, the FAA and Airbus
Industries failed to immediately ground all Airbus A300-600 models
worldwide. This in order to conduct black light inspections of the
stabilizer spars, panels, attachment pins, bolts and other critical
components.
Not only is grounding of this nature a normal operating procedure, it is
also a legal requirement. Most readers will remember that all Concorde
aircraft were grounded for more than a year after the crash of Air France
4590 at Paris. Concorde's grounding was based mostly on speculation, and
partly on trivial circumstantial evidence, flimsier by far than the prima
facie evidence already existing in the case of American Airlines Flight 587.
In order not to ground all Airbus A300-600 series, the NTSB, FAA and Airbus
Industries would have to be convinced that the reason for the crash of
Flight 587 was strictly unique, a one-off that could not occur under similar
flight conditions to any other Airbus A300-600 worldwide. The only reason
unique enough to fit this requirement is an act of terrorism.
Currently the US Government is fixating on the co-pilot of Flight 587 noting
"wake Turbulence" from a Japanese Airlines 747 ahead of them. The media has
already taken its cue and is drawing elaborate diagrams of the Airbus
A300-600 tearing itself to pieces in the "tornado-like" wake left behind the
JAL 747. This is absolute rubbish, perhaps best illustrated by some of the
higher forces all aircraft are designed to withstand.
Decades ago I flew "box" in a close aerobatics formation of four Mach 2
fighters. Basically this is a "Diamond Four", where the "boxman" is located
at the back centre of the diamond, slightly behind and slightly below the
leader, with the two wingmen on either side. Though located slightly below
the leader to minimize discomfort from his wake turbulence, our vertical
stabilizer was intermittently battered by a full 20,000 pounds of thrust
from his twin turbojet engines, at a range of only 100 feet, at speeds up to
400 miles per hour. Sure it was uncomfortable, but do you really believe we
would have done it at all, if there was the slightest chance of the vertical
stabilizer falling off?
Though wake turbulence can be hazardous at times, it really only poses a
serious threat to tiny lightweight aircraft like two-seat Cessna and Piper
trainers. The notion that the residual wake turbulence from a jumbo one and
a half miles on front of American Airlines Flight 587, could have torn its
vertical stabilizer off, is absurd. If that were even remotely possible,
most of the world's fleet of "heavy" jets would have crashed years ago.
Marion Blakey, chairwoman of the NTSB, said an initial listen to the Cockpit
Voice Recorder (CVR) found nothing "to indicate a problem that is not
associated with an accident." What kind of politically correct double-talk
is this? In order to include the possibility of a terrorist act, Ms Blakey
presumably requires a voice with a heavy Arab accent saying: "I have a fruit
knife in my jacket pocket Captain; crash this aircraft immediately or I will
kill you."
But what else could bureaucrat Marion Blakey say? One is reminded of the
words of George Orwell, which now seem to mock us from the grave: "During
times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."

Victorious warlords set to open the opium floodgates
Paul Harris in Peshawar
Sunday November 25, 2001
The Observer
Sayed Ali welcomed the fall of the Taliban, but the
new political and social freedoms now on offer mean
little to the poverty-stricken Afghan farmer. What is
important is that he can grow opium poppies again - he
has already planted his first crop.
In the small mud-brick village of Chinar Khalia, near
the eastern city of Jalalabad, Ali and other local
farmers are now looking forward to a bumper harvest
around mid-April. The Taliban ban on poppy-growing,
which slashed Afghan opium production by 94 per cent
last year, is over. And the impact on the West will be
huge - 90 per cent of Europe's heroin comes from opium
grown in Afghanistan.
'The Taliban order on poppy-growing was false,' Ali
said. 'It hurt many farmers that they could not grow
poppies. Now I will earn money again.'
But the wrinkled old farmer, whose leathery skin has
been baked nut-brown after a lifetime in the fields,
is not the only one set to cash in. The new warlords,
who have replaced the Taliban across large swaths of
Afghanistan, will earn millions of dollars too. The
Northern Alliance has always indulged in opium
production, but now it has captured some of the
richest opium-growing lands in the country.
Of Afghanistan's 29 provinces, 10 grow poppies. Of
these the richest are Helmand in the south, still
under Taliban control, and Nangrahar in the east,
which has fallen to local warlords. With massive
potential riches from opium at stake, the province is
experiencing fierce factional fighting.
Ali expects the new rulers of the province to
encourage him to grow as much opium as possible.
'Before the ban the government used to collect taxes
on my poppies, now the warlords will collect them. We
will have no problems from them,' he said.
Opium-growing has a long history in Afghanistan, a
tradition shattered by last year's sudden Taliban ban
on poppy planting after several years of unofficial
tolerance and profit from the crop. 'Last year was the
first time in 50 years that poppies had not been grown
in my village,' Ali said.
During the ban the only source of poppy production was
territory held by the Northern Alliance. It tripled
its production. In the high valleys of Badakhshan - an
area controlled by troops loyal to the former
President Burhannudin Rabbani - the number of hectares
planted last year jumped from 2,458 to 6,342. Alliance
fields accounted for 83 per cent of total Afghan
production of 185 tonnes of opium during the ban.
Now that the Alliance has captured such rich
poppy-growing areas as Nangrahar, production is set to
rocket. Helmand, too, is being replanted by its
Taliban rulers, who have abandoned their anti-opium
stance and want to cash in on their remaining sources
of revenue.
Western and Pakistani officials fear that, within a
year or two, Afghanistan could again reach its peak
production figures of 60,000 hectares of poppies
producing 2,800 tonnes of opium - more than half the
world's output.
Alliance factions and other warlords deny benefiting
from opium production, but it is an open secret that
nearly all tolerate it. Most are happy just to cream
off the taxes, but others have been more directly
involved. Hazrat Ali, one of the new warlords in
control in Nangrahar, ran Jalalabad airport in the
mid-Nineties at a time when weekly flights to India
and the Gulf carried huge amounts of opium to Western
markets. During the war against the Russians, the huge
and illicit drugs trade nurtured by the mujahideen was
ignored and tolerated by the CIA and other Western
intelligence agencies in return for their commitment
to fight the Soviet Union.
Now, with the Taliban ban on poppy- growing lifted, it
would appear that Afghanistan is facing a return to
those days. The main Nangrahar opium bazaar of Ghani
Khel has reopened for business. Afghan opium traders
arriving in the Pakistani city of Peshawar claim 100
of the market's 300 stalls now sell opium blocks
stockpiled during the ban. The same is true of
Kandahar, where the city's main opium bazaar escaped
the US bombing.
'All our evidence is consistent. They are replanting
in a major way,' said Bernard Frahi of the United
Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention
located in Islamabad.
For Afghan farmers it is a simple choice. A farmer can
earn £6,000 for a hectare of opium, compared to just
£34 for wheat.
Ali knows opium produces heroin and disapproves of
drug use, but he has a family of 14 to feed and his
land has been gripped by three years of drought. 'I am
poor and need money for clothes and food. Perhaps if
Afghanistan becomes rich and there is peace, I will
not need to grow poppies,' he said.
In the quiet Peshawar suburb of University Town,
nestled between the offices of Western aid agencies, a
crowd gathers each morning outside a forbidding steel
gate. Inside, the roof of a sprawling mansion can be
seen. The beggars are here for alms. The man who lives
here is Peshawar's most powerful drugs baron and the
poor know he can afford to be generous. Other large
houses dotted around Peshawar tell the same story.
Locals refer to them as 'the houses that drugs built'.
Peshawar lies on the main smuggling route south. It
was also the home of the Afghan opposition during
Soviet and Taliban rule.
In the lawless Pashtun tribal areas just outside the
city limits, opium is sold openly. It is easy,
although illegal, to buy. In a shop on the main road
to Afghanistan, 26-year-old Imran cuts off a 50g piece
of sticky, dark brown opium resin, known as tor . It
costs just £7.
Foreigners are not allowed here, but it is just a
short drive over the tribal boundary past police
guards who pay no attention to the traffic. On the
wall behind Imran hang a Kalashnikov machine gun and a
shotgun - a sign of the dangers of the drugs trade.
But business will soon be good, he says. The Northern
Alliance warlords will see to that. 'They would be
stupid to try and ban the poppies. They make so much
money.'
It is estimated that when production picks up, about
one million Afghan farmers will earn £70 million from
growing poppies. That is a huge industry in a country
with little other obvious sources of foreign money
exchange.

JUDICIAL WATCH TO FILE FOIA LAWSUIT TODAY OVER CARLYLE
GROUP DOCUMENTS
Former President Bush Works for International
Investment Firm With Ties To Saudi Arabia
Company Had Previously Worked with Bin Laden Family
Conglomerate
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest
law firm that investigates and prosecutes government
corruption, today announced that it would be filing a
Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State
and Defense Departments in order to obtain documents
concerning the Carlyle Group, an international
consulting and investment firm which retains former
President George H.W. Bush.
The Wall Street Journal reported in September that the
former president, the father of President Bush, worked
for the bin Laden family business in Saudi Arabia
through the Carlyle Group. The senior Bush had met
with the bin Laden family at least twice. (Other top
Republicans are also associated with the Carlyle
group, such as former Secretary of State James A.
Baker.) The terrorist leader Osama bin Laden had
supposedly been "disowned" by his family, which runs a
multi-billion dollar business in Saudi Arabia and was
a major investor in the senior Bush's firm. Other
reports have questioned whether members of his Saudi
family have truly cut off Osama bin Laden. Osama's
sister-in-law, in a recent interview with ABC News,
said that she believed that members of her family
still supported bin Laden.
In the wake of Judicial Watch and other criticism of
its ties to the bin Laden family business, the Carlyle
Group reportedly no longer does business with the bin
Laden conglomerate. Yet it has also been reported that
the Group has had significant business contacts with
the Saudi Arabian government, which many have
criticized for its lack of diligence in reigning in
bin Laden and its tepid support for America's war
against terrorism.
And documents recently uncovered through Judicial
Watch's FOIA to the Department of Defense shows that
the Carlyle Group has high-level access to the U.S.
government. The documents include a February 15, 2001
letter on Carlyle Group letterhead to Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld from former Defense
Secretaries Frank Carlucci and William Perry, both now
with Carlyle Group. The documents also include
Secretary Rumsfeld's April 3 response to Messrs.
Carlucci and Perry. The letters seemingly discuss the
restructuring of the Defense Department. The Carlyle
Group is listed in the documents as Defense Department
contractor. Copies of the letters will be available on
the Judicial Watch Internet site at
www.judicialwatch.org.
"It is time for former President Bush to leave the
Carlyle Group. The questions raised by his and others
involvement with the Saudi-connected firm can only
cause problems for the U.S. war effort," stated
Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman.

Item # 3:
Foreign Press Reveals Collin Powel Negotiated
Afghanistan War Months Before Suicide Air Attacks:
Motive is Oil Profits for Multinational War Partners
The BBC and an Indian news agency in seperate stories,
one months before and one shortly after the suicide
air attack on America, have presented the most
horrendous picture to date regarding the true nature
of the terror in NYC and elsewhere:
Prior knowledge.
(See below for links to these stories.)
Those backing President Bush's request for a coalition
had better make certain they are getting their fair
share of the spoils of war, a war arranged months
before the suicide air attacks against the US. A pact
for war against the Taliban was made between the
United States, CIS (Russia), Pakistan, and India to
facilitate a Middle-East to S.E. Asia Oil Pipeline,
which cannot take place with growing political and
religious upheaval in the region at the hands of the
Taliban. Iran is thought to be a covert member to the
pact. The combat was initially slated for mid October,
which would seem to account for warnings that
preparing for war will take time.
The problem is that the ONLY logical pipeline route
runs for nearly a thousand miles along the Afghanistan
border with Iran and Pakistan, (largely so close as to
be visible from the border. This route would seem to
provide the US with the best incentive to date to
cooperate with Iran by, in essence, competing with a
proposed Chinese backed oil pipeline project serving
the same oil fields in northern Iran and points south,
preventing China from obtaining a defacto monopoly
holder on oil supplies for SE Asia. The Chinese began
negotiating that project in 1997, causing a great deal
of consternation for the Clinton administration and
major US oil companies who stood to gain little in the
project.
However, the Taliban are fomenting both religious and
political instability in the region between Iranian
and Pakistani Shiites and Taliban Sunni Islamic sects,
with notable success. This unrest makes impractical
the financial investment and international cooperation
required to construct the pipeline.
The solution was apparantly to be death warrants for
both the Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, and
capitalistic terrorist Osama bin Laden, who had
apparantly grown too profitable and too strong for his
former CIA masters and American business partners to
control. Destruction of the Taliban was imperative,
but political needs would not permit a simple
solution.
For Pakistan and India, long bitter rivals, to partner
would require only sufficient profits to make peace
between them more palatable. However, Pakistan
required a significant motive beyond profits to risk
internal conflict due to its nation's divided
religious and political landscape, all intertwined
with allegiances to the Taliban. There needed to be an
extremely irresistible reason for the nation's
leadership to back/support military action against
what their own citizens considered a virtual spiritual
ally.
In like manner, Iran required an irresistible reason
to publicly support with vocal blessings American
interests in any such action, and at the same time,
needed a way to salve bitter wounds between the two
countries which would allow future joint financial
ventures.
In similar manner, the United States needed a very
powerful and irresistible reason to mobilize America
into supporting such a war, a war which would be
extremely difficult to prosecute, as the Soviet Union
could testify of first hand, having found the
Soviet-Afghanistan war to be their 'Vietnam.'
The logical solution which would indeed provide
irresistible reasons for all concerned, would now seem
to be the horrific terror campaign against the NYC and
Washington DC by former CIA strong man, Osama bin
Laden, who perhaps is still on the payroll after all.
The question is, if the war was being secretely
planned by the administration... a war which could not
be sold to Americans without such a catastrophic
event... then who really planned the 911 event?
The attack comes in the wake of revelations by author
James Bamford in his book Body of Evidence of a secret
plan for US military intelligence operatives to commit
acts of terrorism against American targets... blow up
buildings, shoot down civilian airliners, blow up
American war ships, and assassinate American
citizens... for political gain. Operation Northwoods
was signed off by all five Joint Chiefs of Staff under
the Kennedy administration as a way to foment public
support for a war against Cuba, who would be blamed
for the terrorist acts. Rejected sternly by President
Kennedy, which may have contributed to reasons behind
his assassination, this Reichtag fire approach to
political gain may have been the model for September
11, shifting the blame this time to the Taliban
homeland. What would make a more irresistible excuse
for war?
In light of these revelations, American media needs to
decide if it will continue to ignore truth and the
principles of journalism for its preferred role as
Fourth Estate PR spokesperson of government. Will they
tell America these facts or hide what the rest of the
world already knows through news agencies which have
no such loyalties?
Will American politicians find themselves being asked
by their constituents if they knew in advance of this
death pact, and have the blood of innocents on their
hands as coconspirators, or will they demand a full
accounting of the facts before signing off on the
blood lust boiling over as result of this war plot?
For more information, please review the following news
sources:
The first is a BBC story of a former Pakistani
diplomat coming forward to tell of his country's
knowledge of the planned war, concerned perhaps that
the air attacks were not as advertised. Find it at:
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_1550000/1550366.st
m>
The above article confirms the second, which was
written by an Indian news agency months before the
attack and is much more detailed:
<http://www.indiareacts.com/Story33.htm>
H. Michael Sweeney is a published author in the area
of personal privacy and safety, and an expert on
disinformation and an investigative writer
specializing in crimes of the intelligence community.
Mr. Sweeney is one of many persons seeking to educate
America of the existence of these facts. For more
information about Mr. Sweeney, his books, newsletter,
please visit his Web site
<http://www.proparanoid.com/>
'America will undoubtedly have its unstoppable war
thanks to the Fourth Estate, but at what price?' asks
Mr. Sweeney. 'Only those powerful men who know the
truth will profit, and every American will have paid
for it with their souls, others with their blood.' He
adds that ìIt is extremely ironic that this plan comes
so close on the heels of the release of the James Bond
film, The World is Not Enough, which parallels many of
the key elements of the underlying story.'
End Press Release
Always Follow the Money -NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS
In the aftermath of the horror of what many are simply
calling 911 we find government investigators following
the money. Now that strong evidence exists that the
true reason for the war is oil, and in the certain
knowledge such a war could not be sold the American
people without some catastrophic catalyst event,
perhaps it is wise to ask if they are following ALL
the money.
Indeed, proof of prior knowledge... especially the
actual plotting to create the so-called war on
terrorism which we are now offered as our only
savior... this demands we ask. But both media and
government would seem inept at the task, known to have
short memories - perhaps because of who the President
of the United States is at this time. I do not have a
short memory in such things. I seem to recall there
was once another President Bush. I'd like to compare
the two histories with respect to the money.
Media has made no secret of the fact that G.W. Bush,
like his father, was involved heavily in the Oil
industry. Less vocal, perhaps, that the 'family-owned'
oil firms which often seemed intertwined heavily in
CIA interests, a picture perhaps first presented in
Mark Lane's remarkable book, Plausible Denial, which
links former President George H.W. Bush to the Bay of
Pigs operation and through it, to the subsequent
assassination of President J.F.K. by CIA (see CIA
sworn courtroom 'confession'.) Ironic to me, BTW, is
that a certain recent comedic film about the BOP
invasion featured JAKE and Bush (one in the same).
Film scripts often have notes penned in the margins,
and there is often more than one copy made. These make
for very interesting reading, and often, protect their
holder.
And barely a mention has been given to the fact that
Dick Cheney, who has enjoyed a role in both Bush
administrations, also has an oil industry background
as head of Halliburton (a huge oil industry service
company), or that there are also ties between Cheney
and the Bush family to the drug business. This will
lead us to even more cozy ties to vast media power
and, through these, more ties to CIA. So when we
follow the money, we might want to follow all of these
trails.
Bush Gets bin Laden Funds
The Houston Chronicle ran a series of articles
starting in June 4, 1992 which attempted to follow the
Bush oil investment trail, only to discover what are
now seen as financial ties to capitalistic terrorist,
Osama bin Laden. According to the Chronicle,
entrepreneur James R. Bath guided money to Bush oil
firms from Saudi investors in hopes of influencing
U.S. policy under President Reagan and Vice President
Bush.
The Bush family, of course, claims no knowledge of
where Bath got his money, assuming it his own.
Personally, I find this incredulous given the many
ties to CIA any examination will reveal, in light of
the expertise the elder Bush has in setting up and
funding CIA proprietaries. So, of course, we must
presume there was no foreknowledge to the significance
of this investment relative to our war on terrorism.
At least we are told we must. But we might be smarter
to consider the entire collective of facts which
strongly suggest other than claimed by the Bush
family. Here are a few excerpted quotes (italics
added.)
...documents indicate that the Saudis were using Bath
and their huge financial resources to influence U.S.
policy. Such representation by Bath would require that
he be registered as a foreign agent with the U.S.
Department of Justice (he was not so registered.)
...An Annapolis graduate and former Navy fighter
pilot, (Bill) White, 46, claims that Bath and the
judicial system, under the veil of national security
(where did that come from in a simple oil company
start up? it could only have been imposed by CIA to
protect illegal proprietary funding and/or operational
activities), have blackballed him professionally and
financially because he has refused to keep quiet about
what he regards as a conspiracy to secretly funnel
Saudi dollars to the United States. (Investment
dollars - profit dollars would soon enough flow back
to the bin Laden family.)
In sworn depositions, Bath said he represented four
prominent Saudis as a trustee (the bin Laden Brothers,
including Osaman) and that he would use his name on
their investments (ever heard of illegal silent
partners?). In return, he said, he would receive a 5
percent interest in their deals. Tax documents and
personal financial records show that Bath personally
had a 5 percent interest in Arbusto '79 Ltd., and
Arbusto '80 Ltd., limited partnerships controlled by
George W. Bush, President Bush's eldest son. Arbusto
means bush in Spanish...
George W. Bush's company, Bush Exploration Co.,
general partner in the limited partnerships, went
through several mergers, eventually evolving into
Harken Energy Corp., a suburban Dallas-based company.
Bush, known informally as George Jr., is a shareholder
and director of Harken, which has been granted
lucrative offshore drilling rights off the coast of
Bahrain in the Persian Gulf...
Note: these don't come with Cracker Jacks - you have
to have the favor of someone in the Royal family,
which might be easier if they are worried about
regional invasion from Iraq and want assurances of
American protections - a thought which makes more
sense knowing these rights were obtained just a weeks
before Iraq steam-rolled into Kuwait and threatened
Saudi interests as well.
According to a 1976 trust agreement, drawn shortly
after Bush was appointed director of the Central
Intelligence Agency, Saudi Sheik Salem M. bin Laden
appointed Bath as his business representative in
Houston. (in other words, Bath, who had CIA ties,
first entered into the bin Laden relationship while
the elder Bush was Director of CIA) Bin laden, along
with his brothers (specifically to include Osama bin
Laden), owns bin Laden Brothers Construction, one of
the largest construction companies in the Middle East.
According to White, Bath told him that he had assisted
the CIA in a liaison role with Saudi Arabia since 1976
(we call such a person an operative, or an in-place
asset.) Bath has previously denied having worked for
the CIA (which he would be required to do if working
for CIA.) In a sworn deposition, Bath said he was the
sole director of Skyway Aircraft Leasing Ltd., a
company that a court document shows is owned by Khaled
bin Mahfouz. Bin Mahfouz had been a major shareholder
in the Bank of Credit and Commerce International
(BCCI), a banking empire that has been accused of
money laundering and of using Mideast oil money to
seek ties to political leaders in several countries.
End excerpts. The infamous and ill fated BCCI scandal
was CIA's Oliver-North-Iran-Contra money laundering
channel operated by Mahfouz and which thus served arms
dealers Adnan Koshoggi and Manucher Ghorbanifar, and
of course, through funding of the Afghani war efforts
by CIA, if not somewhat indirectly, Osama bin Laden.
We further learn In False Profits, a telling book by
Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin, that Bath and bin
Mahfouz put Skyway together with CIA aircraft and
operated the airline as an extension of Air America,
which pretty much makes Bath CIA, plain and simple -
despite his dutiful denials. Also in the book, by the
way, is this:
'When Bush (the Father) ran for President a decade
later, several people connected with BCCI offered to
help. One intriguing example is Mohammed Rahim Motaghi
Irvani, an Iranian immigrant with multiple ties to
BCCI, as noted in Chapter 6. In 1987, Irvani wrote to
James A. Baker, III, Bush's campaign manager, saying
he would like to help in the race (another middle east
attempt at influence on the White House?) The letter
was forwarded to Baker by former CIA director Richard
Helms (a long-time CIA fellow and friend to George
Bush who was also associated with the Bay of Pigs
operation), with a note describing Irvani as 'a man of
substance and decency.''
From something called the Intelligence Newsletter, we
have these excrpted insights into the Harkin funding
process, one which reveals further Middle East ties -
again to include Ossama bin Laden, BCCI, and an
important name for us to consider further on in the
dialog, The Carlyle Group:
Indeed, among the figures Bush dealt with indirectly
when he ran oil companies was Saudi banker Khaled Bin
Mahfouz who, Intelligence Newsletter has learned, is
currently under house arrest in a hospital in Taef at
the behest of the American author-ities. The latter
are looking into contribut-ions Mahfouz is said to
have made to welfare associations close to terrorist
Osama Bin Laden.
...In 1987 Mahfouz's representative in the U.S.,
Abdullah Taha Bakhsh, acquired an 11.5% stake in a
company in which the Bush was a shareholder, director
and adviser, Harken Energy...
...An American banker named Jacksen Stephens who was
to also be deeply involved in the BCCI affair moved in
1987 to invest $25 million in Harken. The transaction
took place in Geneva with the money was paid through a
joint venture set up between the Union des Banques
Suisses and the Geneva branch of the BCCI; the
financial accord was signed by both Stephens and
Bakksh. Other links between Bush and Mahfouz can be
found through investments in the Carlyle Group, an
American investment firm managed by a board on which
former president George Bush himself sat. The younger
Bush personally held shares in one of the components
of the Carlyle group, the Caterair company, between
1990-94. And Carlyle today ranks as a leading
contributor to Bush's electoral campaign. On Carlyle's
advisory board figures the name of Sami Baarma,
director of the Pakistani financial establishment
Prime Commercial Bank that is based in Lahore and
owned by Mafouz."
We might wonder exactly how Harken could capture the
lucrative and prized contract for the Bahrain oil
explorations. If it did not involve the intelligence
community or Presidential favors, and was not related
to the looming regional threat of invasion by Iraq,
then what? The powerful Amoco oil company had been
negotiating for the rights to this prize since 1987.
All bets were that they would win hands down, but
instead, Harken, a small upstart with no useful
capital reserves or assets and no operational history
winds out. What happened? We might get some insights
from this December 6, 1991 Wall Street Journal excerpt
(italics added) from an article by Thomas Petzinger
Jr., Peter Truell, and Jill Abramson - found at
<http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a1dad865f5b.htm>
(scroll down to find document):
Harken officials, in extensive interviews, maintain
that Bahrain wanted a small company (which contradicts
what Bahrain officials were indicating prior to the
decision) that would devote full attention to the
project, a point Bahraini Oil Minister Shirawi
confirms. To find one, he turned to a longtime friend,
Michael Ameen, a Houston oil consultant who had worked
in the Mideast for Mobil Corp. and Arabian American
Oil Co. (Aramco).
Mr. Ameen represents yet another BCCI notation in the
Harken story. As the head of government relations for
Aramco, he says he had close-up dealings for years
with the Saudi royal family and its advisers,
including Mr. Adham, the BCCI principal, who is also a
former Saudi intelligence chief (You don't suppose,
that as former intelligence chief for the Saudi's,
that he might not have known and established an
excellent working relationship with the former
intelligence chief for the United States, George
Bush?) Mr. Ameen was close enough to the Pharaon
family that he recalls meeting a young Ghaith on his
graduation from college.
Mr. Ameen had been a friend for 25 years of Mr.
Bakhsh, the large Harken shareholder (yet another
Middle East investor.) But he says that when faced
with having to recommend to Bahrain one small oil
company out of the hundreds to choose from, he chose
Harken out of pure serendipity. Within 10 minutes of
discussing the matter by phone with Bahrain's oil
minister, Mr. Ameen says, he got a call from one of
Harken's investment bankers at Stephens in Little
Rock.
Before long, Mr. Ameen was leading Harken delegations
to London and Bahrain, where, according to the
company, Harken officials displayed keen knowledge of
the region's geology and disarmed the Bahrainis with
their open negotiating style.
In the midst of Harken's talks with Bahrain, Mr. Ameen
-- simultaneously working as a State Department
consultant -- briefed the incoming U.S. ambassador to
Bahrain, Charles Hostler. Mr. Ameen ultimately
received a fee of about $100,000 from Harken.
So we see a consistent pattern involving Bush
Presidencies, Middle-East investments linked to and
through CIA resources, typically to include the
criminally corrupt BCCI bank, said investments both
within and without the oil industry, and political
'investments' of similar construct. And as with the
current war on Afghanistan, it should be pointed out
in addition to these coincidental consistencies, that
the same old gang at work now was present and played
key roles in the Gulf War: Bush, of course, albeit the
heir; Colin Powell; Dick Cheney; and James Baker.
Of course, we don't know Harken was (or is) used by
CIA, only that CIA seems to be involved peripherally
in every aspect, just as seen for his Father's
companies. But we do know this from excerpts From a
HOUSTON, March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Harken Energy
Corporation announced that:
security issues surrounding its (Harken) Colombian
Operations have increased significantly in the recent
past... In addition to these security issues, the
Company has also become the subject of media focus in
Colombia that may further complicate its security
position in the country... The Company is also
currently analyzing and upgrading its security
procedures and will initiate immediate action to
expand security measures for both personnel and field
operations... Mikel D. Faulkner, Harken's Chairman and
CEO stated, 'Although we expect to continue our
efforts in Colombia, presently, the Company must focus
more management time and financial resources on the
recently increased security issues confronting our
personnel and operations.'
Columbia is a hot bed of drug king pins known to cause
political unrest and conduct terrorism against US
companies (largely in the belief they are CIA fronts
aiding in the 'drug war' - and in recognition of the
fact that one of their largest competitors in the
illicit drug trade is CIA). So the above may be seen
as a 'normal' response to a tough situation perhaps
faced by many American firms in Columbia - or - as
worded, it also paints a picture which is quite
suitable to insertion of additional CIA agents and
operatives into the area under cover of 'improving
security.'
As I explore the oil profit motive, know that others
have explored the drug profit motive. Afghanistan has
only one cash crop, and it is poppy fields which are
used only to make heroin. Once again, it is the same
players: Bush, Cheney, Baker, and CIA - but a whole
different set of corporate players, though they, too,
are from the oil industry, and they, too, are very
involved in both the Gulf War and our war on
terrorism. For more information on this angle, please

Bush Sends Money to Taliban
But for now there are still more oil ties to follow.
If it helps media to remember, the US under Bush as
President would funnel millions of dollars, arms, and
covert intelligence and other assistance through CIA
to help the Afghani Mujahadene fight Soviet forces in
what would prove to be Russia's Vietnam. While a
'victory', a chief benefactor of all the training,
weapons, and money would prove to be Osama bin Laden,
essentially a CIA backed operative. The establishment
of the Taliban was thus assured, thanks to bin Laden,
CIA, and George H.W. Bush.
And just in time to turn, and bite the hand of the son
of the man who fed them? What it is, and what it
seems, are often two different things. Since the war,
money continued to flow to the Taliban from the Bush
administrations - both of them, up until the air
attacks of 911. Here are excerpts from TASHKENT, Aug
08, 2001 (Itar-Tass via COMTEX)
The George W. Bush administration is to provide
additional financial assistance to the people of
Afghanistan... The total volume of U.S. financial help
to Afghanistan will amount to over 132 million dollars
this year. Thus, the USA will become the world's
biggest financial source for Afghanistan.

U.S. - Iraqi war. Government lies to American people about the 128 dead
already arrived in the U.S. (Is Rumsfeld a liar on such a fundamental
question, or is
the Secretary actually out of the real power loop and merely a figurehead
before Wolfowitz's power?
============================
The following can all be found at www.rense.com:
The 'War On Terrorism'
Congressman Ron Paul, speaking before the House of Representatives
Mr. Speaker:
We have been told on numerous occasions to expect a long and protracted war.
This is not necessary if one can identify the target - the enemy - and then
stay focused on that target. It's impossible to keep one's eye on a target
and hit it if one does not precisely understand it and identify it. In
pursuing any military undertaking, it's the responsibility of Congress to
know exactly why it appropriates the funding. Today, unlike any time in our
history, the enemy and its location remain vague and pervasive. In the
undeclared wars of Vietnam and Korea, the enemy was known and clearly
defined, even though our policies were confused and contradictory. Today our
policies relating to the growth of terrorism are also confused and
contradictory; however, the precise enemy and its location are not known by
anyone. Until the enemy is defined and understood, it cannot be accurately
targeted or vanquished.
The terrorist enemy is no more an entity than the "mob" or some
international criminal gang. It certainly is not a country, nor is it the
Afghan people. The Taliban is obviously a strong sympathizer with bin Laden
and his henchmen, but how much more so than the government of Saudi Arabia
or even Pakistan? Probably not much.
Ulterior motives have always played a part in the foreign policy of almost
every nation throughout history. Economic gain and geographic expansion, or
even just the desires for more political power, too often drive the
militarism of all nations. Unfortunately, in recent years, we have not been
exempt. If expansionism, economic interests, desire for hegemony, and
influential allies affect our policies and they, in turn, incite mob attacks
against us, they obviously cannot be ignored. The target will be illusive
and ever enlarging, rather than vanquished.
We do know a lot about the terrorists who spilled the blood of nearly 4,000
innocent civilians. There were 19 of them, 15 from Saudi Arabia, and they
have paid a high price. They're all dead. So those most responsible for the
attack have been permanently taken care of. If one encounters a single
suicide bomber who takes his own life along with others without the help of
anyone else, no further punishment is possible. The only question that can
be raised under that circumstance is why did it happen and how can we change
the conditions that drove an individual to perform such a heinous act.
The terrorist attacks on New York and Washington are not quite so simple,
but they are similar. These attacks required funding, planning and
inspiration from others. But the total number of people directly involved
had to be relatively small in order to have kept the plans thoroughly
concealed. Twenty accomplices, or even a hundred could have done it. But
there's no way thousands of people knew and participated in the planning and
carrying out of this attack. Moral support expressed by those who find our
policies offensive is a different matter and difficult to discover. Those
who enjoyed seeing the U.S. hit are too numerous to count and impossible to
identify. To target and wage war against all of them is like declaring war
against an idea or sin.
The predominant nationality of the terrorists was Saudi Arabian. Yet for
political and economic reasons, even with the lack of cooperation from the
Saudi government, we have ignored that country in placing blame. The Afghan
people did nothing to deserve another war. The Taliban, of course, is
closely tied to bin Laden and al-Qaeda, but so are the Pakistanis and the
Saudis. Even the United States was a supporter of the Taliban's rise to
power, and as recently as August of 2001, we talked oil pipeline politics
with them.
The recent French publication of "bin Laden, The Forbidden Truth" revealed
our most recent effort to secure control over Caspian Sea oil in
collaboration with the Taliban. According to the two authors, the economic
conditions demanded by the U.S. were turned down and led to U.S. military
threats against the Taliban.
It has been known for years that Unocal, a U.S. company, has been anxious to
build a pipeline through northern Afghanistan, but it has not been possible
due to the weak Afghan central government. We should not be surprised now
that many contend that the plan for the UN to "nation build" in Afghanistan
is a logical and important consequence of this desire. The crisis has merely
given those interested in this project an excuse to replace the government
of Afghanistan. Since we don't even know if bin Laden is in Afghanistan, and
since other countries are equally supportive of him, our concentration on
this Taliban "target" remains suspect by many.
Former FBI Deputy Director John O'Neill resigned in July over duplicitous
dealings with the Taliban and our oil interests. O'Neill then took a job as
head of the World Trade Center security and ironically was killed in the
9-11 attack. The charges made by these authors in their recent publication
deserve close scrutiny and congressional oversight investigation- and not
just for the historical record.
To understand world sentiment on this subject, one might note a comment in
"The Hindu," India's national newspaper- not necessarily to agree with the
paper's sentiment, but to help us better understand what is being thought
about us around the world in contrast to the spin put on the war by our five
major TV news networks.
This quote comes from an article written by Sitaram Yechury on October 13,
2001:
The world today is being asked to side with the U.S. in a fight against
global terrorism. This is only a cover. The world is being asked today, in
reality, to side with the U.S. as it seeks to strengthen its economic
hegemony. This is neither acceptable nor will it be allowed. We must forge
together to state that we are neither with the terrorists nor with the
United States.
The need to define our target is ever so necessary if we're going to avoid
letting this war get out of control.
It's important to note that in the same article, the author quoted Michael
Klare, an expert on Caspian Sea oil reserves, from an interview on Radio
Free Europe: "We (the U.S.) view oil as a security consideration and we have
to protect it by any means necessary, regardless of other considerations,
other values." This, of course, was a clearly stated position of our
administration in 1990 as our country was being prepared to fight the
Persian Gulf War. Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction only
became the issue later on.
For various reasons, the enemy with whom we're now at war remains vague and
illusive. Those who commit violent terrorist acts should be targeted with a
rifle or hemlock - not with vague declarations, with some claiming we must
root out terrorism in as many as 60 countries. If we're not precise in
identifying our enemy, it's sure going to be hard to keep our eye on the
target. Without this identification, the war will spread and be needlessly
prolonged.
Why is this definition so crucial? Because without it, the special interests
and the ill-advised will clamor for all kinds of expansive militarism.
Planning to expand and fight a never-ending war in 60 countries against
worldwide terrorist conflicts with the notion that, at most, only a few
hundred ever knew of the plans to attack the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon. The pervasive and indefinable enemy- terrorism - cannot be
conquered with weapons and UN nation building - only a more sensible
pro-American foreign policy will accomplish this. This must occur if we are
to avoid a cataclysmic expansion of the current hostilities.
It was said that our efforts were to be directed toward the terrorists
responsible for the attacks, and overthrowing and instituting new
governments were not to be part of the agenda. Already we have clearly taken
our eyes off that target and diverted it toward building a pro-Western,
UN-sanctioned government in Afghanistan. But if bin Laden can hit us in New
York and DC, what should one expect to happen once the US/UN establishes a
new government in Afghanistan with occupying troops. It seems that would be
an easy target for the likes of al Qaeda.
Since we don't know in which cave or even in which country bin Laden is
hiding, we hear the clamor of many for us to overthrow our next villain -
Saddam Hussein - guilty or not. On the short list of countries to be
attacked are North Korea, Libya, Syria, Iran, and the Sudan, just for
starters. But this jingoistic talk is foolhardy and dangerous. The war
against terrorism cannot be won in this manner.
The drumbeat for attacking Baghdad grows louder every day, with Paul
Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol, Richard Perle, and Bill Bennett leading the charge.
In a recent interview, U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, made it
clear: "We are going to continue pursuing the entire al Qaeda network which
is in 60 countries, not just Afghanistan." Fortunately, President Bush and
Colin Powell so far have resisted the pressure to expand the war into other
countries. Let us hope and pray that they do not yield to the clamor of the
special interests that want us to take on Iraq.
The argument that we need to do so because Hussein is producing weapons of
mass destruction is the reddest of all herrings. I sincerely doubt that he
has developed significant weapons of mass destruction. However, if that is
the argument, we should plan to attack all those countries that have similar
weapons or plans to build them- countries like China, North Korea, Israel,
Pakistan, and India. Iraq has been uncooperative with the UN World Order and
remains independent of western control of its oil reserves, unlike Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait. This is why she has been bombed steadily for 11 years by
the U.S. and Britain. My guess is that in the not-too-distant future,
so-called proof will be provided that Saddam Hussein was somehow partially
responsible for the attack in the United States, and it will be irresistible
then for the U.S. to retaliate against him. This will greatly and
dangerously expand the war and provoke even greater hatred toward the United
States, and it's all so unnecessary.
It's just so hard for many Americans to understand how we inadvertently
provoke the Arab/Muslim people, and I'm not talking about the likes of bin
Laden and his al Qaeda gang. I'm talking about the Arab/Muslim masses.
In 1996, after five years of sanctions against Iraq and persistent bombings,
CBS reporter Lesley Stahl asked our Ambassador to the United Nations,
Madeline Albright, a simple question: "We have heard that a half million
children have died (as a consequence of our policy against Iraq). Is the
price worth it?" Albright's response was "We think the price is worth it."
Although this interview won an Emmy award, it was rarely shown in the U.S.
but widely circulated in the Middle East. Some still wonder why America is
despised in this region of the world!
Former President George W. Bush has been criticized for not marching on to
Baghdad at the end of the Persian Gulf War. He gave then, and stands by his
explanation today, a superb answer of why it was ill-advised to attempt to
remove Saddam Hussein from power - there were strategic and tactical, as
well as humanitarian, arguments against it. But the important and clinching
argument against annihilating Baghdad was political. The coalition, in no
uncertain terms, let it be known they wanted no part of it. Besides, the UN
only authorized the removal of Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. The UN has never
sanctioned the continued U.S. and British bombing of Iraq - a source of much
hatred directed toward the United States.
But placing of U.S. troops on what is seen as Muslim holy land in Saudi
Arabia seems to have done exactly what the former President was trying to
avoid - the breakup of the coalition. The coalition has hung together by a
thread, but internal dissention among the secular and religious Arab/Muslim
nations within individual countries has intensified. Even today, the current
crisis threatens the overthrow of every puppet pro-western Arab leader from
Egypt to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Many of the same advisors from the first Bush presidency are now urging the
current President to finish off Hussein. However, every reason given 11
years ago for not leveling Baghdad still holds true today - if not more so.
It has been argued that we needed to maintain a presence in Saudi Arabia
after the Persian Gulf War to protect the Saudi government from Iraqi
attack. Others argued that it was only a cynical excuse to justify keeping
troops to protect what our officials declared were "our" oil supplies. Some
have even suggested that our expanded presence in Saudi Arabia was prompted
by a need to keep King Fahd in power and to thwart any effort by Saudi
fundamentalists to overthrow his regime.
Expanding the war by taking on Iraq at this time may well please some
allies, but it will lead to unbelievable chaos in the region and throughout
the world. It will incite even more anti-American sentiment and expose us to
even greater dangers. It could prove to be an unmitigated disaster. Iran and
Russia will not be pleased with this move.
It is not our job to remove Saddam Hussein - that is the job of the Iraqi
people. It is not our job to remove the Taliban - that is the business of
the Afghan people. It is not our job to insist that the next government in
Afghanistan include women, no matter how good an idea it is. If this really
is an issue, why don't we insist that our friends in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait
do the same thing, as well as impose our will on them? Talk about hypocrisy!
The mere thought that we fight wars for affirmative action in a country
6,000 miles from home, with no cultural similarities, should insult us all.
Of course it does distract us from the issue of an oil pipeline through
northern Afghanistan. We need to keep our eye on the target and not be so
easily distracted.
Assume for a minute that bin Laden is not in Afghanistan. Would any of our
military efforts in that region be justified? Since none of it would be
related to American security, it would be difficult to justify.
Assume for a minute that bin Laden is as ill as I believe he is with serious
renal disease, would he not do everything conceivable for his cause by
provoking us into expanding the war and alienating as many Muslims as
possible?
Remember, to bin Laden, martyrdom is a noble calling, and he just may be
more powerful in death than he is in life. An American invasion of Iraq
would please bin Laden, because it would rally his troops against any
moderate Arab leader who appears to be supporting the United States. It
would prove his point that America is up to no good, that oil and Arab
infidels are the source of all the Muslims' problems.
We have recently been reminded of Admiral Yamamoto's quote after the bombing
of Pearl Harbor in expressing his fear that the event "Awakened a sleeping
giant." Most everyone agrees with the prophetic wisdom of that comment. But
I question the accuracy of drawing an analogy between the Pearl Harbor event
and the World Trade Center attack. We are hardly the same nation we were in
1941. Today, we're anything but a sleeping giant. There's no contest for our
status as the world's only economic, political and military super power. A
"sleeping giant" would not have troops in 141 countries throughout the world
and be engaged in every conceivable conflict with 250,000 troops stationed
abroad.
The fear I have is that our policies, along with those of Britain, the UN,
and NATO since World War II, inspired and have now awakened a long-forgotten
sleeping giant- Islamic fundamentalism.
Let's hope for all our sakes that Iraq is not made the target in this
complex war.
The President, in the 2000 presidential campaign, argued against nation
building, and he was right to do so. He also said, "If we're an arrogant
nation, they'll resent us." He wisely argued for humility and a policy that
promotes peace. Attacking Baghdad or declaring war against Saddam Hussein,
or even continuing the illegal bombing of Iraq, is hardly a policy of
humility designed to promote peace.
As we continue our bombing of Afghanistan, plans are made to install a new
government sympathetic to the West and under UN control. The persuasive
argument as always is money. We were able to gain Pakistan's support,
although it continually wavers, in this manner. Appropriations are already
being prepared in the Congress to rebuild all that we destroy in
Afghanistan, and then some- even before the bombing has stopped.
Rumsfeld's plan, as reported in Turkey's <italicHurriyet</italic newspaper,
lays out the plan for the next Iraqi government. Turkey's support is
crucial, so the plan is to give Turkey oil from the northern Iraq Karkuk
field. The United States has also promised a pipeline running from Iraq
through Turkey. How can the Turks resist such a generous offer? Since we
subsidize Turkey and they bomb the Kurds, while we punish the Iraqis for the
same, this plan to divvy up wealth in the land of the Kurds is hardly a
surprise.
It seems that Washington never learns. Our foolish foreign interventions
continually get us into more trouble than we have bargained for- and the
spending is endless. I am not optimistic that this Congress will anytime
soon come to its senses. I am afraid that we will never treat the taxpayers
with respect. National bankruptcy is a more likely scenario than Congress
adopting a frugal and wise spending policy.
Mr. Speaker, we must make every effort to precisely define our target in
this war and keep our eye on it.
It is safe to assume that the number of people directly involved in the 9-11
attacks is closer to several hundred than the millions we are now talking
about targeting with our planned shotgun approach to terrorism.
One commentator pointed out that when the mafia commits violence, no one
suggests we bomb Sicily. Today it seems we are, in a symbolic way, not only
bombing "Sicily," but are thinking about bombing "Athens" (Iraq).
If a corrupt city or state government does business with a drug cartel or
organized crime and violence results, we don't bomb city hall or the state
capital- we limit the targets to those directly guilty and punish them.
Could we not learn a lesson from these examples?
It is difficult for everyone to put the 9-11 attacks in a proper
perspective, because any attempt to do so is construed as diminishing the
utter horror of the events of that day. We must remember, though, that the
3,900 deaths incurred in the World Trade Center attacks are just slightly
more than the deaths that occur on our nation's highways each month. Could
it be that the sense of personal vulnerability we survivors feel motivates
us in meting out justice, rather than the concern for the victims of the
attacks? Otherwise, the numbers don't add up to the proper response. If we
lose sight of the target and unwisely broaden the war, the tragedy of 9-11
may pale in the death and destruction that could lie ahead.
As members of Congress, we have a profound responsibility to mete out
justice, provide security for our nation, and protect the liberties of all
the people, without senselessly expanding the war at the urging of narrow
political and economic special interests. The price is too high, and the
danger too great. We must not lose our focus on the real target and
inadvertently create new enemies for ourselves.
We have not done any better keeping our eye on the terrorist target on the
home front than we have overseas. Not only has Congress come up short in
picking the right target, it has directed all its energies in the wrong
direction. The target of our efforts has sadly been the liberties all
Americans enjoy. With all the new power we have given to the administration,
none has truly improved the chances of catching the terrorists who were
responsible for the 9-11 attacks. All Americans will soon feel the
consequences of this new legislation.
Just as the crisis provided an opportunity for some to promote a
special-interest agenda in our foreign policy efforts, many have seen the
crisis as a chance to achieve changes in our domestic laws, changes which,
up until now, were seen as dangerous and unfair to American citizens.
Granting bailouts is not new for Congress, but current conditions have
prompted many takers to line up for handouts. There has always been a large
constituency for expanding federal power for whatever reason, and these
groups have been energized. The military-industrial complex is out in full
force and is optimistic. Union power is pleased with recent events and has
not missed the opportunity to increase membership rolls. Federal policing
powers, already in a bull market, received a super shot in the arm. The IRS,
which detests financial privacy, gloats, while all the big spenders in
Washington applaud the tools made available to crack down on tax dodgers.
The drug warriors and anti-gun zealots love the new powers that now can be
used to watch the every move of our citizens. "Extremists" who talk of the
Constitution, promote right-to-life, form citizen militias, or participate
in non-mainstream religious practices now can be monitored much more
effectively by those who find their views offensive. Laws recently passed by
the Congress apply to all Americans- not just terrorists. But we should
remember that if the terrorists are known and identified, existing laws
would have been quite adequate to deal with them.
Even before the passage of the recent draconian legislation, hundreds had
already been arrested under suspicion, and millions of dollars of al Qaeda
funds had been frozen. None of these new laws will deal with uncooperative
foreign entities like the Saudi government, which chose not to relinquish
evidence pertaining to exactly who financed the terrorists' operations.
Unfortunately, the laws will affect all innocent Americans, yet will do
nothing to thwart terrorism.
The laws recently passed in Congress in response to the terrorist attacks
can be compared to the effort by anti-gun fanatics, who jump at every chance
to undermine the Second Amendment. When crimes are committed with the use of
guns, it's argued that we must remove guns from society, or at least
register them and make it difficult to buy them. The counter argument made
by Second Amendment supporters correctly explains that this would only
undermine the freedom of law-abiding citizens and do nothing to keep guns
out of the hands of criminals or to reduce crime.
Now we hear a similar argument that a certain amount of privacy and personal
liberty of law-abiding citizens must be sacrificed in order to root out
possible terrorists. This will result only in liberties being lost, and will
not serve to preempt any terrorist act. The criminals, just as they know how
to get guns even when they are illegal, will still be able to circumvent
anti-terrorist laws. To believe otherwise is to endorse a Faustian bargain,
but that is what I believe the Congress has done.
We know from the ongoing drug war that federal drug police frequently make
mistakes, break down the wrong doors and destroy property. Abuses of seizure
and forfeiture laws are numerous. Yet the new laws will encourage even more
mistakes by federal law-enforcement agencies. It has long been forgotten
that law enforcement in the United States was supposed to be a state and
local government responsibility, not that of the federal government. The
federal government's policing powers have just gotten a giant boost in scope
and authority through both new legislation and executive orders.
Before the 9-11 attack, Attorney General Ashcroft let his position be known
regarding privacy and government secrecy. Executive Order 13223 made it much
more difficult for researchers to gain access to presidential documents from
previous administrations, now a "need to know" has to be demonstrated. This
was a direct hit at efforts to demand openness in government, even if only
for analysis and writing of history. Ashcroft's position is that
presidential records ought to remain secret, even after an administration
has left office. He argues that government deserves privacy while ignoring
the 4th Amendment protections of the people's privacy. He argues his case by
absurdly claiming he must "protect"the privacy of the individuals who might
be involved- a non-problem that could easily be resolved without closing
public records to the public.
It is estimated that approximately 1,200 men have been arrested as a
consequence of 9-11, yet their names and the charges are not available, and
according to Ashcroft, will not be made available. Once again, he uses the
argument that he's protecting the privacy of those charged. Unbelievable!
Due process for the detainees has been denied. Secret government is winning
out over open government. This is the largest number of people to be locked
up under these conditions since FDR's internment of Japanese-Americans
during World War II. Information regarding these arrests is a must, in a
constitutional republic. If they're terrorists or accomplices, just let the
public know and pursue their prosecution. But secret arrests and silence are
not acceptable in a society that professes to be free. Curtailing freedom is
not the answer to protecting freedom under adverse circumstances.
The administration has severely curtailed briefings regarding the military
operation in Afghanistan for congressional leaders, ignoring a long-time
tradition in this country. One person or one branch of government should
never control military operations. Our system of government has always
required a shared-power arrangement.
The Anti-Terrorism Bill did little to restrain the growth of big government.
In the name of patriotism, the Congress did some very unpatriotic things.
Instead of concentrating on the persons or groups that committed the attacks
on 9-11, our efforts, unfortunately, have undermined the liberties of all
Americans.
"Know Your Customer" type banking regulations, resisted by most Americans
for years, have now been put in place in an expanded fashion. Not only will
the regulations affect banks, thrifts and credit unions, but also all
businesses will be required to file suspicious transaction reports if cash
is used with the total of the transaction reaching $10,000. Retail stores
will be required to spy on all their customers and send reports to the U.S.
government. Financial services consultants are convinced that this new
regulation will affect literally millions of law-abiding American citizens.
The odds that this additional paperwork will catch a terrorist are remote.
The sad part is that the regulations have been sought after by federal
law-enforcement agencies for years. The 9-11 attacks have served as an
opportunity to get them by the Congress and the American people.
Only now are the American people hearing about the onerous portions of the
anti-terrorism legislation, and they are not pleased.
It's easy for elected officials in Washington to tell the American people
that the government will do whatever it takes to defeat terrorism. Such
assurances inevitably are followed by proposals either to restrict the
constitutional liberties of the American people or to spend vast sums of
money from the federal treasury. The history of the 20th Century shows that
the Congress violates our Constitution most often during times of crisis.
Accordingly, most of our worst unconstitutional agencies and programs began
during the two World Wars and the Depression. Ironically, the Constitution
itself was conceived in a time of great crisis. The founders intended its
provision to place severe restrictions on the federal government, even in
times of great distress. America must guard against current calls for
government to sacrifice the Constitution in the name of law enforcement.
The"anti-terrorism" legislation recently passed by Congress demonstrates how
well-meaning politicians make shortsighted mistakes in a rush to respond to
a crisis. Most of its provisions were never carefully studied by Congress,
nor was sufficient time taken to debate the bill despite its importance. No
testimony was heard from privacy experts or from others fields outside of
law enforcement. Normal congressional committee and hearing processes were
suspended. In fact, the final version of the bill was not even made
available to Members before the vote! The American public should not
tolerate these political games, especially when our precious freedoms are at
stake.
Almost all of the new laws focus on American citizens rather than potential
foreign terrorists. For example, the definition of "terrorism," for federal
criminal purposes, has been greatly expanded A person could now be
considered a terrorist by belonging to a pro-constitution group, a citizen
militia, or a pro-life organization. Legitimate protests against the
government could place tens of thousands of other Americans under federal
surveillance. Similarly, internet use can be monitored without a user's
knowledge, and internet providers can be forced to hand over user
information to law-enforcement officials without a warrant or subpoena.
The bill also greatly expands the use of traditional surveillance tools,
including wiretaps, search warrants, and subpoenas. Probable-cause standards
for these tools are relaxed, or even eliminated in some circumstances.
Warrants become easier to obtain and can be executed without notification.
Wiretaps can be placed without a court order. In fact, the FBI and CIA now
can tap phones or computers nationwide, without demonstrating that a
criminal suspect is using a particular phone or computer.
The biggest problem with these new law-enforcement powers is that they bear
little relationship to fighting terrorism. Surveillance powers are greatly
expanded, while checks and balances on government are greatly reduced. Most
of the provisions have been sought by domestic law-enforcement agencies for
years, not to fight terrorism, but rather to increase their police power
over the American people. There is no evidence that our previously held
civil liberties posed a barrier to the effective tracking or prosecution of
terrorists. The federal government has made no showing that it failed to
detect or prevent the recent terrorist strikes because of the civil
liberties that will be compromised by this new legislation.
In his speech to the joint session of Congress following the September 11th
attacks, President Bush reminded all of us that the United States outlasted
and defeated Soviet totalitarianism in the last century. The numerous
internal problems in the former Soviet Union- its centralized economic
planning and lack of free markets, its repression of human liberty and its
excessive militarization- all led to its inevitable collapse. We must be
vigilant to resist the rush toward ever-increasing state control of our
society, so that our own government does not become a greater threat to our
freedoms than any foreign terrorist.
The executive order that has gotten the most attention by those who are
concerned that our response to 9-11 is overreaching and dangerous to our
liberties is the one authorizing military justice, in secret. Nazi war
criminals were tried in public, but plans now are laid to carry out the
trials and punishment, including possibly the death penalty, outside the
eyes and ears of the legislative and judicial branches of government and the
American public. Since such a process threatens national security and the
Constitution, it cannot be used as a justification for their protection.
Some have claimed this military tribunal has been in the planning stages for
five years. If so, what would have been its justification?
The argument that FDR did it and therefore it must be OK is a rather weak
justification. Roosevelt was hardly one that went by the rule book- the
Constitution. But the situation then was quite different from today. There
was a declared war by Congress against a precise enemy, the Germans, who
sent eight saboteurs into our country. Convictions were unanimous, not 2/3
of the panel, and appeals were permitted. That's not what's being offered
today. Furthermore, the previous military tribunals expired when the war
ended. Since this war will go on indefinitely, so too will the courts.
The real outrage is that such a usurpation of power can be accomplished with
the stroke of a pen. It may be that we have come to that stage in our
history when an executive order is "the law of the land," but it's not
"kinda cool," as one member of the previous administration bragged. It's a
process that is unacceptable, even in this professed time of crisis.
There are well-documented histories of secret military tribunals. Up until
now, the United States has consistently condemned them. The fact that a
two-thirds majority can sentence a person to death in secrecy in the United
States is scary. With no appeals available, and no defense attorneys of
choice being permitted, fairness should compel us to reject such a system
outright.
Those who favor these trials claim they are necessary to halt terrorism in
its tracks. We are told that only terrorists will be brought before these
tribunals. This means that the so-called suspects must be tried and
convicted before they are assigned to this type of "trial" without due
process. They will be deemed guilty by hearsay, in contrast to the
traditional American system of justice where all are innocent until proven
guilty. This turns the justice system on its head.
One cannot be reassured by believing these courts will only apply to
foreigners who are terrorists. Sloppiness in convicting criminals is a
slippery slope. We should not forget that the Davidians at Waco were
"convicted" and demonized and slaughtered outside our judicial system, and
they were, for the most part, American citizens. Randy Weaver's family fared
no better.
It has been said that the best way for us to spread our message of freedom,
justice and prosperity throughout the world is through example and
persuasion, not through force of arms. We have drifted a long way from that
concept. Military courts will be another bad example for the world. We were
outraged in 1996 when Lori Berenson, an American citizen, was tried,
convicted, and sentenced to life by a Peruvian military court. Instead of
setting an example, now we are following the lead of a Peruvian dictator.
The ongoing debate regarding the use of torture in rounding up the criminals
involved in the 9-11 attacks is too casual. This can hardly represent
progress in the cause of liberty and justice. Once government becomes more
secretive, it is more likely this tool will be abused. Hopefully the
Congress will not endorse or turn a blind eye to this barbaric proposal. For
every proposal made to circumvent the justice system, it's intended that we
visualize that these infractions of the law and the Constitution will apply
only to terrorists and never involve innocent U.S. citizens. This is
impossible, because someone has to determine exactly who to bring before the
tribunal, and that involves all of us. That is too much arbitrary power for
anyone to be given in a representative government and is more characteristic
of a totalitarian government.
Many throughout the world, especially those in Muslim countries, will be
convinced by the secretive process that the real reason for military courts
is that the U.S. lacks sufficient evidence to convict in an open court.
Should we be fighting so strenuously the war against terrorism and
carelessly sacrifice our traditions of American justice? If we do, the war
will be for naught and we will lose, even if we win.
Congress has a profound responsibility in all of this and should never
concede this power to a President or an Attorney General. Congressional
oversight powers must be used to their fullest to curtail this
unconstitutional assumption of power.
The planned use of military personnel to patrol our streets and airports is
another challenge of great importance that should not go uncontested. For
years, many in Washington have advocated a national approach to all policing
activity. This current crisis has given them a tremendous boost. Believe me,
this is no panacea and is a dangerous move. The Constitution never intended
that the federal government assume this power. This concept was codified in
the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. This act prohibits the military from
carrying out law-enforcement duties such as searching or arresting people in
the United States, the argument being that the military is only used for
this type of purpose in a police state. Interestingly, it was the violation
of these principles that prompted the Texas Revolution against Mexico. The
military under the Mexican Constitution at that time was prohibited from
enforcing civil laws, and when Santa Anna ignored this prohibition, the
revolution broke out. We should not so readily concede the principle that
has been fought for on more than one occasion in this country.
The threats to liberty seem endless. It seems we have forgotten to target
the enemy. Instead we have inadvertently targeted the rights of American
citizens. The crisis has offered a good opportunity for those who have
argued all along for bigger government.
For instance, the military draft is the ultimate insult to those who love
personal liberty. The Pentagon, even with the ongoing crisis, has argued
against the reinstatement of the draft. Yet the clamor for its reinstatement
grows louder daily by those who wanted a return to the draft all along. I
see the draft as the ultimate abuse of liberty. Morally it cannot be
distinguished from slavery. All the arguments for drafting 18-year old men
and women and sending them off to foreign wars are couched in terms of noble
service to the country and benefits to the draftees. The need-for-discipline
argument is the most common reason given, after the call for service in an
effort to make the world safe for democracy. There can be no worse
substitute for the lack of parental guidance of teenagers than the federal
government's domineering control, forcing them to fight an enemy they don't
even know in a country they can't even identity.
Now it's argued that since the federal government has taken over the entire
job of homeland security, all kinds of jobs can be found for the draftees to
serve the state, even for those who are conscientious objectors.
The proponents of the draft call it "mandatory service." Slavery, too, was
mandatory, but few believed it was a service. They claim that every 18-year
old owes at least two years of his life to his country. Let's hope the
American people don't fall for this "need to serve" argument. The Congress
should refuse to even consider such a proposal. Better yet, what we need to
do is abolish the Selective Service altogether.
However, if we get to the point of returning to the draft, I have a
proposal. Every news commentator, every Hollywood star, every newspaper
editorialist, and every Member of Congress under the age of 65 who has never
served in the military and who demands that the draft be reinstated, should
be drafted first- the 18-year olds last. Since the Pentagon says they don't
need draftees, these new recruits can be the first to march to the orders of
the general in charge of homeland security. For those less robust
individuals, they can do the hospital and cooking chores for the rest of the
newly formed domestic army. After all, someone middle aged owes a lot more
to his country than an 18-year old.
I'm certain that this provision would mute the loud demands for the return
of the military draft.
I see good reason for American citizens to be concerned- not only about
another terrorist attack, but for their own personal freedoms as the
Congress deals with the crisis. Personal freedom is the element of the human
condition that has made America great and unique and something we all
cherish. Even those who are more willing to sacrifice a little freedom for
security do it with the firm conviction that they are acting in the best
interest of freedom and justice. However, good intentions can never suffice
for sound judgment in the defense of liberty.
I do not challenge the dedication and sincerity of those who disagree with
the freedom philosophy and confidently promote government solutions for all
our ills. I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us
peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited
government, and minding our own business overseas.
Henry Grady Weaver, author of a classic book on freedom, The Mainspring of
Human Progress, years ago warned us that good intentions in politics are not
good enough and actually are dangerous to the cause. Weaver stated:
"Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people
who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to
themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot of
mankind-in-the-mass through some pet formula of their own. The harm done by
ordinary criminals, murderers, gangsters, and thieves is negligible in
comparison with the agony inflicted upon human beings by the professional
do-gooders, who attempt to set themselves up as gods on earth and who would
ruthlessly force their views on all others- with the abiding assurance that
the end justifies the means."

Russia Checkmated
Its New Best Friend
By Eric Margolis LA Times
CommonDreams.org
12-2-1
Many Americans, grown cynical of government pronouncements, have been asking
whether the real war goal of the United States in Afghanistan is to gain
access to Central Asia's oil and gas. The answer: no and yes.
The U.S. attacked Afghanistan to exact revenge for the Sept. 11 attacks. But
it must have quickly occurred to former oilmen George Bush and Dick Cheney
that retribution against the Taliban and Osama bin Laden offered a golden
opportunity to expand American geopolitical influence into South and Central
Asia, scene of the world's latest gold rush--the Caspian Basin.
The world has ample oil today. But, according to CIA estimates, when China
and India reach South Korea's current level of per capita energy use--within
30 years--their combined oil demand will be 120-million barrels daily.
Today, total global consumption is 60million to 70million barrels daily. In
short, the major powers will be locked in fierce competition for scarce oil,
with the Gulf and Central Asia the focus of this rivalry.
Central Asia's oil and gas producers are landlocked. Their energy wealth
must be exported through long pipelines.
He who controls energy, controls the globe.
Russia, the world's second-largest oil exporter, wants Central Asian
resources to be transported across its territory. Iran, also an oil
producer, wants the energy pipelines to debouch at its ports, the shortest
route. But America's powerful Israel lobby has blocked Washington's efforts
to deal with Iran.
Pakistan and the U.S. have long sought to build pipelines running due south
from Termez, Uzbekistan, to Kabul, Afghanistan, then down to Pakistan's
Arabian Sea ports, Karachi and Gwadar.
Oilmen call this route "the new Silk Road," after the fabled path used to
export China's riches.
This route, however, would require a stable, pro-Western Afghanistan.
Since 1989, Iran has strived to keep Afghanistan in disorder, thus
preventing Pakistan from building its long-sought Termez-Karachi pipeline.
When Pakistan ditched its ally, the Taliban, in September, and sided with
the U.S., Islamabad and Washington fully expected to implant a pro-American
regime in Kabul and open the way for the Pakistani-American pipeline.
But, while the Bush administration was busy tearing apart Afghanistan to
find Bin Laden, it failed to notice that the Russians were taking over half
the country.
The Russians achieved this victory through their proxy--the Northern
Alliance. Moscow, which has sustained the alliance since 1990, rearmed it
after Sept. 11 with new tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, helicopters and
trucks.
To the fury of Washington and Islamabad, in a coup de main the Russians
rushed the Northern Alliance into Kabul, in direct contravention of Bush's
dictates.
The alliance is now Afghanistan's dominant force and, heedless of
multi-party political talks in Germany going on this week, styles itself as
the new "lawful" government, a claim fully backed by Moscow.
The Russians have regained influence over Afghanistan, avenged their defeat
by the U.S. in the 1980s war and neatly checkmated the Bush administration,
which, for all its high-tech military power, understands little about
Afghanistan.
The U.S. ouster of the Taliban regime also means Pakistan has lost its
former influence over Afghanistan and is now cut off from Central Asia's
resources. So long as the alliance holds power, the U.S. is equally denied
access to the much-coveted Caspian Basin. Russia has regained control of the
best potential pipeline routes. The new Silk Road is destined to become a
Russian energy superhighway.
By charging like an enraged bull into the South Asian china shop, the U.S.
handed a stunning geopolitical victory to the Russians and severely damaged
its own great power ambitions. Moscow is now free to continue plans to
dominate South and Central Asia in concert with its strategic allies, India
and Iran.
The Bush administration does not appear to understand its enormous blunder
and keeps insisting that "the Russians are now our friends."
The president should understand that where geopolitics and oil are
concerned, there are no friends, only competitors and enemies.

Bodies Of 124 US Troops Flown
Home From Afghanistan- Report
http://www.irna.com
12-2-1
Islamabad IRNA - The bodies of 124 American troops have been flown back home
in a cargo plane on November 29, claimed a local daily here on Sunday.
'Pakistan Observer' reported that the troops were killed during clashes with
Taliban fighters when they had landed in Helmand province to help the
ex-governor of Kandahar Gul Agha's Lashkar fighters against Taliban.
It added the perished troops are being officially described as missing in
action.
Meanwhile, another daily, 'The Frontier Post', said 65 US marines have been
killed by Taliban suicide squads in southern Afghanistan.
Reports of fresh casualties come as the US and the coalition forces struggle
to keep a tight lid on the talk of casualties in the country, the daily
pointed out.
Quoting witnesses, the newspaper added since their landing in Afghanistan,
the US marines have come under attack by Taliban several times.
It noted apart from more than 2,000 US marines, American Special Forces are
also present in the southern parts of Afghanistan.
The newspaper stated that these attacks could be in retaliation to massacre
of Taliban fighters by gunmen of anti-Taliban Commander Haji Gul Agha in the
presence of US troops.

Lies, Damned Lies, And War

"The first casualty, when war comes, is truth." --Senator Hiram Johnson,
World War I
"We are learning to do what the British used to do so well - Lie." --U.S.
Intelligence Officer, November 2001
The papers are full of news of Johnny "Mike" Spann from Alabama. The Central
Intelligence Agency officer, who served in the Directorate of Operations, is
being described as a hero and a patriot. He is also being described as "the
first American combat death" in Afghanistan. He was killed during fighting
at the Qala-I-Jhangi mud fort near Mazar-I-Sharif. Five American soldiers
were seriously wounded in the same raid, when an U.S. bomb landed too close
to them. Until Thursday, the CIA and Pentagon were denying reports that
Spann had died. Now that they admit it, they say he is the first.
According to a November 17th UPI article this is not true. Reporter Richard
Sale quotes an unnamed U.S. administration official as saying that between
25 and 40 U.S. Special Forces have been killed so far, mostly in fighting in
southern Afghanistan, around Kandahar. While Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld said no Americans were killed in these operations, a State
Department official retorted "that's crazy."
Besides Mike Spann, the Pentagon acknowledges four other American deaths in
incidents related to the war on terrorism, but not in Afghanistan. Two
soldiers were killed on October 20th when their helicopter crashed in
Pakistan. Two others died in accidents, one, Bryant Davis, stationed on the
USS Kitty Hawk fell overboard on November 7th and was lost.
John Pike, president of Washington-based GlobalSecurity. Org, referred to a
press conference last month where Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was
quizzed about the Taliban displaying a wheel of a helicopter, torn off in an
accident, but which the Taliban claimed was shot down. According to Pike, at
the end of his explanation, Rumsfeld looked at the reporters and stated the
equivalent of: "This is the last time I'm telling you the truth."
At a press conference on Monday, November 26th, President Bush warned,
"Americans must be prepared for the loss of life," in Afghanistan. Prepared
or not, here they come. A Taliban spokesman claimed in early November that
ninety-five American soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan. The Pentagon
claims five. Somewhere between those two figures lies the truth. Americans
can't prepare for loss of life without the truth about who, where, when and
why. Only then can we judge if this loss of life is worth it. And maybe that
is why they aren't telling us the truth.
The truth in war is as necessary as it is elusive. The support from 95% of
Americans hinges on the war's antiseptic perfection, its remoteness and
incomprehensibility. When the war begins to come home-- when the stories of
missed targets, friendly fire incidents, the brutality and lawlessness of
our Northern Alliance allies and foot soldiers are told-that overwhelming
support will falter and crumbled.

Bush's Dire Threats Have
Horrified America's Allies
By Eric Margolis
From The Toronto Sun
12-3-1
Crusades are messy, bloody affairs, and it's often hard to tell the good
guys from the bad guys.
Exhibit A: Afghanistan, where the United States just suffered a humiliating
defeat at the hands of the wily Russians. Happily for the White House,
neither the media nor the American public understand what just happened.
They continue to cheer on the president, who is mighty thankful he is
leading a jolly little war against Muslims instead of having to explain to
voters why the economy is nose-diving and hundreds of thousands are losing
their jobs.
The Northern Alliance is not a merry band of pro-American freedom fighters
battling the wicked Taliban, but a Russian front organization run by leaders
of the revived Afghan Communist party. It has also reopened the heroin trade
the Taliban had shut down.
The Alliance proclaimed itself Afghanistan's legitimate government last
week. Moscow recognized the Alliance, and rushed "advisers" and troops into
Afghanistan.
On Sept. 11, Alliance forces were a mere 10,000 men. A month later, it
fielded 30,000 with an array of Russian armour and artillery. It's likely
regular troops from neighbouring Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan - all
Russian satellite states - were sent into Afghanistan.
OIL AND GAS RESOURCES
Russia now dominates Afghanistan, thus reversing its historic defeat of the
1980s, shutting the U.S. and Pakistan out of Central Asia, and ensuring
future Russian control of the Caspian Basin's oil and gas resources. Bush
was too busy trying to "smoke out" outlaws Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar
to notice his new best friends, the Russians, had drygulched him and grabbed
the lion's share of Afghanistan.
The much ballyhooed Afghan unity conference in Germany last week, hailed by
the U.S. and UN as a "breakthrough" and the beginning of a viable
"democratic" government in Afghanistan, was a farce.
The U.S., UN, and Europe are waiting to shower tens of millions in aid on a
"new," non-Islamic Afghanistan. The Northern Alliance realize they need a
few women and some toothless royalists to create the illusion of a
multi-party government in order to cash in on western aid. Armed, supplied
and guided by the Russian Army and KGB, the Alliance remains the real power
in Afghanistan.
Last week, hundreds of Taliban prisoners of war were reportedly massacred in
the Mazar-E-Sharif fort by soldiers of communist warlord Rashid Dostam,
assisted by U.S. and British special forces, and air strikes by U.S.
warplanes. Our side says the prisoners tried to break out and had to die.
Some more neutral observers claim the prisoners were murdered en masse.
Amnesty International is calling for an investigation. U.S. troops also
watched while 140 Taliban prisoners were executed in southern Afghanistan.
The U.S has been using fuel-air munitions that rights organizations claim
are inhumane weapons that should be banned.
Last week, bin Laden's holy war syndrome seemed to infect the White House.
Bush proclaimed a new jihad against Saddam Hussein, warning Iraq was next on
his hit list. Saddam was moved into the terrorist column by Bush for
allegedly planning to produce weapons of mass destruction to threaten his
neighbours. The president forgot to mention Israel and India, who have also
threatened their neighbours with nukes.
While Bush was preaching a new crusade against Iraq, other high
administration officials were warning that Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen,
Lebanon, Somalia and even Pakistan might be added to Bush's jihad list. A
decade ago, this would have been called warmongering. Now, the frightful
Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. are being used to justify all sorts of
adventures abroad, and the curtailment of civil rights and free speech at
home.
Bush's anti-Muslim crusading policy is being advocated by a group of Dr.
Strangeloves, hardline "neo-conservatives" - the Washington chapter of Ariel
Sharon's far-right Likud party. They want to use America to destroy all of
Israel's enemies and block peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
RESTRAINT
Sensible Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and the administration's
sharpest mind, Secretary of State Colin Powell, are trying to restrain the
Sharonistas, who seem dangerously close to convincing Bush to launch a
crusade against much of the 1.2-billion-person Islamic world. They failed
with clever Bill Clinton, but are succeeding with the unworldly Bush.
America's European, Asian and Muslim allies are horrified by the dire
threats emanating from Washington, but so far no one has dared to publicly
break ranks and tell the president to holster his sixguns and simmer down.
America is not refighting World War II.
In fact, it is not even at war, since none has been declared by Congress. It
is fighting a handful of small but deadly international criminal
organizations. This is not D-Day, nor the Alamo, and certainly no reason to
launch America on the 21st century's first world war.

THE HOSTAGE NATION
Guardian
A major shift is occurring in US policy on Iraq. It is obvious that
Washington wants to end 11 years of a self-serving policy of contain-
ment of the Iraqi regime and change to a policy of replacing, by force,
Saddam Hussein and his government.
The current policy of economic sanctions has destroyed society in
Iraq and caused the death of thousands, young and old. There is
evidence of that daily in reports from reputable international organi-
zations such as Caritas, Unicef, and Save the Children. A change to
a policy of replacement by force will increase that suffering.
The creators of the policy must no longer assume that they can satisfy
voters by expressing contempt for those who oppose them. The prob-
lem is not the inability of the public to understand the bigger picture, as
former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright likes to suggest. It is
the opposite. The bigger picture, the hidden agenda, is well understood
by ordinary people. We should not forget Henry Kissinger's brutally
frank admission that "oil is much too important a commodity to be left
in the hands of the Arabs".
How much longer can democratically elected governments hope to get
away with justifying policies that punish the Iraqi people for something
they did not do, through economic sanctions that target them in the hope
that those who survive will overthrow the regime? Is international law
only applicable to the losers? Does the UN security council only serve
the powerful?
The UK and the US, as permanent members of the council, are fully
aware that the UN embargo operates in breach of the UN covenants on
human rights, the Geneva and Hague conventions and other international
laws. It is neither anti-UK nor anti-US to point out that Washington and
London, more than anywhere else, have in the past decade helped to
write the Iraq chapter in the history of avoidable tragedies.
The UK and the US have deliberately pursued a policy of punishment
since the Gulf war victory in 1991. The two governments have consis-
tently opposed allowing the UN security council to carry out its
mandated responsibilities to assess the impact of sanctions policies on
civilians. We know about this first hand, because the governments
repeatedly tried to prevent us from briefing the security council about
it. The pitiful annual limits, of less than $170 per person, for
humanitarian supplies, set by them during the first three years of the
oil-for-food programme are unarguable evidence of such a policy.
We have seen the effects on the ground and cannot comprehend how
the US ambassador, James Cunningham, could look into the eyes of
his colleagues a year ago and say: "We (the US government) are satis-
fied that the oil-for-food programme is meeting the needs of the Iraqi
people."
Besides the provision of food and medicine, the real issue today is that
Iraqi oil revenues must be invested in the reconstruction of civilian
infrastructure destroyed in the Gulf war.
Despite the severe inadequacy of the permitted oil revenue to meet the
minimum needs of the Iraqi people, 30 cents (now 25) of each dollar
that Iraqi oil earned from 1996 to 2000 were diverted by the UN
security council, at the behest of the UK and US governments, to com-
pensate outsiders for losses allegedly incurred because of Iraq's invasion
of Kuwait. If this money had been made available to Iraqis, it could have
saved many lives.
The uncomfortable truth is that the west is holding the Iraqi people
hostage, in order to secure Saddam Hussein's compliance to ever-
shifting demands. The UN secretary-general, who would like to be a
mediator, has repeatedly been prevented from taking this role by the
US and the UK governments.
The imprecision of UN resolutions on Iraq - "constructive ambiguity"
as the US and UK define it - is seen by those governments as a useful
tool when dealing with this kind of conflict. The US and UK dismiss
criticism by pointing out that the Iraqi people are being punished by
Baghdad. If this is true, why do we punish them further?
The most recent report of the UN secretary-general, in October 2001,
says that the US and UK governments' blocking of $4bn of humani-
tarian supplies is by far the greatest constraint on the implementation
of the oil-for-food programme. The report says that, in contrast, the
Iraqi government's distribution of humanitarian supplies is fully satis-
factory (as it was when we headed this programme). The death of
some 5-6,000 children a month is mostly due to contaminated water,
lack of medicines and malnutrition. The US and UK governments'
delayed clearance of equipment and materials is responsible for this
tragedy, not Baghdad.
The expectation of a US attack on Iraq does not create conditions
in the UN security council suited to discussions on the future of
economic sanctions. This year's UK-sponsored proposal for "smart
sanctions" will not be retabled. Too many people realize that what
looked superficially like an improvement for civilians is really an
attempt to maintain the bridgeheads of the existing sanctions policy:
no foreign investments and no rights for the Iraqis to manage their
own oil revenues.
The proposal suggested sealing Iraq's borders, strangling the Iraqi
people. In the present political climate, a technical extension of the
current terms is considered the most expedient step by Washington.
That this condemns more Iraqis to death and destitution is shrugged
off as unavoidable.
What we describe is not conjecture. These are undeniable facts
known to us as two former insiders. We are outraged that the Iraqi
people continue to be made to pay the price for the lucrative arms
trade and power politics. We are reminded of Martin Luther King's
words: "A time has come when silence is betrayal. That time is now."
We want to encourage people everywhere to protest against unscru-
pulous policies and against the appalling disinformation put out about
Iraq by those who know better, but are willing to sacrifice people's
lives with false and malicious arguments.
The US Defense Department, and Richard Butler, former head of the
UN arms inspection team in Baghdad, would prefer Iraq to have been
behind the anthrax scare. But they had to recognize that it had its origin
within the US.
British and US intelligence agencies know well that Iraq is qualitatively
disarmed, and they have not forgotten that the outgoing secretary of
defense, William Powell, told incoming President George Bush in
January: "Iraq no longer poses a military threat to its neighbors." The
same message has come from former UN arms inspectors. But to
admit this would be to nail the entire UN policy, as it has been
developed and maintained by the US and UK governments.
We are horrified by the prospects of a new US-led war against Iraq.
The implications of "finishing unfinished business" in Iraq are too
serious for the global community to ignore. We hope that the warnings
of leaders in the Middle East and all of us who care about human rights
are not ignored by the US government. What is now most urgently
needed is an attack on injustice, not on the Iraqi people.

Berlin - In Germany, where war plans for Afghanistan were already being
discussed in July and where several of the "Arab hijackers" lived and
studied, intelligence experts say the terror attacks of September 11 could
not have been carried out without the support of a state secret service.
Eckehardt Werthebach, former president of Germany's domestic intelligence
service, Verfassungsschutz, told AFP that "the deathly precision" and "the
magnitude of planning" behind the attacks of September 11 would have needed
"years of planning."
Such a sophisticated operation, Werthebach said, would require the "fixed
frame" of a state intelligence organization, something not found in a "loose
group" of terrorists like the one allegedly led by Mohammed Atta while he
studied in Hamburg.
Many people would have been involved in the planning of such an operation
and Werthebach pointed to the absence of leaks as further indication that
the attacks were "state organized actions."
Andreas von B'low served on the parliamentary commission which oversees the
three branches of the German secret service while a member of the Bundestag
(German parliament) from 1969 to 1994, and wrote a book titled Im Namen des
Staates (In the Name of the State) on the criminal activities of secret
services, including the CIA.
Von B'low told AFP that he believes that the Israeli intelligence service,
Mossad, is behind the September 11 terror attacks. These attacks, he said,
were carried out to turn public opinion against the Arabs, and boost
military and security spending.
"You don't get the higher echelons," von B'low said, referring to the
"architectural structure" which masterminds such terror attacks. At this
level, he said, the organization doing the planning, such as Mossad, is
primarily interested in affecting public opinion.
The architectural level planners use corrupt "guns for hire" such as Abu
Nidal, the Palestinian terrorist who von B'low called "an instrument of
Mossad," high-ranking Stasi (former East German secret service) operatives,
or Libyan agents who organize terror attacks using dedicated people, for
example Palestinian and Arab "freedom fighters."
The terrorists who actually commit the crimes are what von B'low calls "the
working level," such as the 19 Arabs who allegedly hijacked the planes on
September 11. "The working level is part of the deception," he said.
"Ninety-five percent of the work of the intelligence agencies around the
world is deception and disinformation," von B'low said, which is widely
propagated in the mainstream media creating an accepted version of events.
"Journalists don't even raise the simplest questions," he said adding,
"those who differ are labeled as crazy."
Both Werthebach and von B'low said the lack of an open and official
investigation, such as congressional hearings, into the events of September
11 was incomprehensible.
AFP asked von B'low about the Taliban's ban on opium production: "Seventy
percent of the drug trade is licensed by the intelligence agencies," von
B'low said, and they are interested in keeping the drug traffic "running
through their mills."
"The BND (German secret service) is steered by the CIA and the CIA is
steered by Mossad," von B'low said.
Horst Ehmke, who coordinated the German secret services directly under
German prime minister Willi Brandt in the 70s, predicted a similar terrorist
attack in his novel, Torches of Heaven, published last year, in which
Turkish terrorists crash hijacked planes into Berlin.
EERIE PREDICTIONS
Although Ehmke had long expected "fundamentalist attacks," when he saw the
televised images from September 11, he said it looked like a "Hollywood
production."
"Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation with 4 hijacked
planes without the support of a secret service," Ehmke said, although he did
not want to point to any particular agency.
"The most important thing in the struggle against terrorists, who are
abusing religion, is the battle for the soul of the people and the nations,"
Ehmke said. "If this isn't resolved successfully, the 21st Century could be
bloodier than the last."
A former Stasi agent who had warned the German secret service of terror
attacks in America between September 10-20 told AFP that a high ranking
Stasi chief named J'rgen Rogalla, who is "an airplane terror specialist,"
was probably involved in the attacks of September 11 along with Abu Nidal.
Both Nidal and Rogalla work with the Mossad, the former agent told AFP.
Nidal, was said to be in Baghdad, and is a "leading officer for some Mossad
agents." The agent said that Nidal was "involved directly" in the events of
September 11.
September 11 was preparation for a larger attack on the United States, which
is part of "an old plan," the agent said. Based on prior knowledge of this
plan, the agent said that more attacks are imminent and that aircraft
carriers may be targeted next. Rogalla is also strongly anti-religious and
attacks on cathedrals or places of religious significance before Christmas
are likely.
Rogalla was responsible for "turning NATO men" to spy for the East. One of
the East's NATO spies, Reiner Rupp, known as "Topaz," provided Stasi and the
Russians with the organization's highest secrets until he was discovered in
1993 by the BND. A CIA agent known as "Frank Lindsey" worked with Rogalla,
according to the former Stasi agent.
TERROR INVESTIGATION BLOCKED
Under the influence of U.S. oil companies, the administration of George W.
Bush blocked U.S. secret service investigations on terrorism, while it
bargained with the Taliban to turn over Osama bin Laden in exchange for
political recognition and economic aid, two French intelligence analysts
claim.
In a recently published book, Bin Laden, la verite interdite (Bin Laden, the
forbidden truth), the authors, Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie,
reveal that the Federal Bureau of Investigation's deputy director John
O'Neill resigned in July in protest due to official obstruction of his
investigation of terrorism.
O'Neill had been in charge of national security in New York. While with the
FBI, O'Neill led an investigation of Osama bin Laden and had forecast the
possibility of an organized attack by terrorists operating from within the
country.
O'Neill had investigated the USS Cole bombing in Yemen, the bombings of U.S.
embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In
1995, FBI agents working under O'Neill captured Ramzi Yousef, a suspected
lieutenant of bin Laden, who later was among those convicted for the World
Trade Center bombing.
O'Neill was considered a top-notch investigator and was known for his
pugnacity. He was barred by U.S. Ambassador to Yemen Barbara Bodine from
that country. That dispute reportedly involved a struggle between the State
Department, which sought to preserve relations with Yemen, and the FBI,
represented by O'Neill, who wanted access to Yemeni suspects.
O'Neill, 49, was hired as chief of security at the World Trade Center
following a 25-year career with the FBI and died on Sept. 11, the first day
of his new job. O'Neill reportedly died after reentering the building to
assist others.
Brisard said O'Neill told them that "the main obstacles to investigate
Islamic terrorism were U.S. oil corporate interests and the role played by
Saudi Arabia in it."
EARLY WARNINGS
Osama bin Laden and the Taliban received threats of possible American
military strikes against them two months before the terrorist assaults on
New York and Washington, according to The Guardian (UK).
The warnings to the Taliban originated at a four-day meeting of senior
Americans, Russians, Iranians and Pakistanis at a hotel in Berlin in
mid-July. The meetings took place under the arbitration of Francesc
Vendrell, personal representative of UN secretary general Kofi Annan, to
discuss the situation in Afghanistan.
The three Americans at the Berlin meeting were Tom Simons, former US
ambassador to Pakistan, Karl "Rick" Inderfurth, a former assistant secretary
of state for south Asian affairs, and Lee Coldren, who headed the office of
Pakistan, Afghan and Bangladesh affairs in the state department until 1997.
There were other meetings arranged by Vendrell in which "representatives of
the U.S. government and Russia, and the six countries that border with
Afghanistan were present," according to the French authors. "Sometimes,
representatives of the Taliban also sat around the table."
The Berlin conference was the third meeting since November 2000 arranged by
Mr. Vendrell. As a UN meeting, its official agenda was supposedly confined
to trying to find a negotiated solution to the civil war in Afghanistan,
ending terrorism and heroin trafficking, and discussing humanitarian aid.
CARPET OF GOLD--OR BOMBS
The U.S. government's primary objective in Afghanistan was to consolidate
the position of the Taliban regime in order to obtain access to the oil and
gas reserves of Central Asia, the French authors wrote.
Until August, the U.S. government saw the Taliban regime "as a source of
stability in Central Asia that would enable the construction of an oil
pipeline across Central Asia," from the rich oilfields in Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, through Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the Indian
Ocean, they said.
"The oil and gas reserves of Central Asia have been controlled by Russia.
The Bush government wanted to change all that," the book says. When the
Taliban refused to accept U.S. conditions, "this rationale of energy
security changed into a military one."
"The Americans indicated to us that in case the Taliban does not behave and
in case Pakistan also doesn't help us to influence the Taliban, then the Uni
ted States would be left with no option but to take an overt action against
Afghanistan," said Niaz Naik, a former foreign minister of Pakistan, who
attended the meetings.
On French television, Naik said during the "6+2" meeting in Berlin in July,
the discussions turned around "the formation of a government of national
unity. If the Taliban had accepted this coalition, they would have
immediately received international economic aid."
"And the pipe lines from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan would have come," he
added.
Naik also claimed that Tom Simons, the U.S. representative at these
meetings, openly threatened the Taliban and Pakistan.
"Simons said, 'either the Taliban behave as they ought to, or Pakistan
convinces them to do so, or we will use another option'. The words Simons
used were 'a military operation'," Naik said.
"At one moment during the negotiations, the U.S. representatives told the
Taliban, 'either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you
under a carpet of bombs'," Brisard said in an interview in Paris.
According to the book, the government of Bush began to negotiate with the
Taliban immediately after coming into power in February. U.S. and Taliban
diplomatic representatives met several times in Washington, Berlin and
Islamabad.
To polish their image in the United States, the Taliban even employed a U.S.
expert on public relations, Laila Helms. The authors claim that Helms is
also an expert in the works of U.S. secret services, for her uncle, Richard
Helms, is a former director of the CIA.
